The Weekly Florists^ Review* PREPARATION FOR GRAFTING. Those who contemplate using grafted stock for next season's planting should now make arrangements for the requisite supply of stocks, as it will soon be time to begin preparing these for work. The imported dormant stocks will soon be arriving and these should be potted im- mediately, so as to give them ample time to form good roots without having to. subject them to heat before being op- erated on, as they are very impatient of heat when first potted. A 2% -inch pot is usually large enough for potting Manetti, but where the roots are too large for this size a little judi- cious root pruning does no harm. After potting firmly after the usual manner of potting any other rose, they should be watered thoroughly and placed in a house with a temperature not to exceed 35 degrees or 40 degrees, and where they will not be exposed to the full rays of the sun. The best success I ever had with Ma- netti stocks was when I placed them for a few weeks in an old, disused mushroom house. This house seemed to possess about the requisite amount of moisture to keep the stocks in good condition till root action had commenced. They require little watering between the time they are potted and the time they are required for use. Syringe them overhead occasionally to keep the bark in good condition. By this method they will form nice, fibrous roots, ready to go to work on the first application of heat, while the eyes will remain unbroken. To the care bestowed on them during this period can be ascribed a good part of the success or failure of the grafting operation, as it is obvious that a stock having just the requisite flow of sap to sustain the scion must be more suited to its purpose than stocks with either too much or too little. Grafting operations usually do not be- gin until after the holidays, so I will re- serve my remarks on this method of propagation till that season. Eibes. CLIMBING ROSE TAUSENDSCHON. This beautiful climbing rose is the result of several crosses between the well-known Crimson Rambler with tea and polyantha roses. It surpasses all existing sorts of its section concerning growth, foliage and beauty of blooms. The stems are nearly (sometimes entire- ly) thornless, of much stronger growth than Crimson Rambler, with shining green foliage. The flowers appear from the beginning of June till the end of July, in large, loose clusters. Each in- dividual flower is in shape like a balsam flower, measuring more than one inch in diameter. When beginning to bloom they show a lovely soft pink color; later on the somewhat curled petals assume a car- mine rose color, when in full bloom giv- ing the appearance of two different va- rieties. Tor floral work Tausendschon is very useful. Further important is its hardiness and its being almost impervi- ous to mildew. It was raised by J. C. Schmidt, Erfurt, Germany. PLACE FOR THERMOMETER. Will you kindly inform me whether it is proper to hang a thermometer in the sun or shade to go by in a rose-house? Also what temperature is needed to grow Bride and Bridesmaid roses. I. R. The main object to be attained in hanging a thermometer in a house is that it shall act as an indicator of the true temperature oH the body of air contained therein, and consequently it should be so placed where it will best effect the pur- pose. Placing an instrument in a shady corner would only show the temperature of that particular place and not the tem- perature of the house which is desired. By hanging an instrument where it would be exposed to the direct rays of the sun would also make it no true indi- cntor, as the tube and metal would be heated far above the house temperature. The instrument should be hung in an open-faced box with its back towards the sun. The temperature best suited for Brides and Bridesmaids is 56 degrees to 58 de- grees at night, allowing it to run up to 75 degrees or 80 degrees in the day, ac- cording to intensity of sunshine. During cloudy weather the day temperature should range from 60 degrees to 65 de- grees under ordinary conditions. RiBES. SPIDER AND MILDEW. I am enclosing some rose foliage and would like you to tell me what is wrong with my plants. They seem quite green and in good health, but as soon as I touch a plant the foliage seems to drop off, leaving the branches bare; and the growths seem to die at the points. I used the best of sod, piling it up early in the spring, a layer of sod and then a layer of cow manure, leaving it until it was well rotted. Please tell me what to do. M. E. A. This method of forwarding for exam- ination flowers and leaves by mail is un- satisfactory, as they usually arrive in such a dried-up condition that they are useless for the purpose, and this case is no exception to the ruled! j .'•^^i ,'3' J The most probable cause of this trou- ble is a sudden check, either to root ac- tion or a heavy chill to the foliage, in all probability the latter, from the evi- dence to be obtained from the accompa- nying letter. By a careful examination of the leaves I cannot find any trace of disease, but there are indisputable evidences of both red spider and mildew. In order to re- store these plants to health great care must be taken in watering until good root action is .igain established, running them rather on the dry side for a week or two, but keep the syringe going on every bright forenoon. Keep a steady night temperature of 56 degrees or 58 degrees, with a day temperature of from 60 degrees during cloudy weather up to 80 degrees during bright sun, giving ventilation whenever possible. Do not attempt to feed until the plants have recovered and be care- ful not to fumigate heavily. Ribes. TROUBLE WITH KILLARNEY. Enclosed I send you some leaves of Killarney rose. I would like to know if this is a disease or natural with this rose at this time of year. They are los- ing all the leaves except the young growth, which is rather weak. I had an attack of black-spot on all the roses on a bench planted with Beauty, Killarney, General MacArthur, Bride and Golden Gate. They all grew strong and healthy, especially Killarney, until this disease attacked them. The genuine black-spot, as I know it, with a big, dark spot on the leaves, soon disappeareu after 1 treated them according to your prescrip- tion, but the Killarney keep losing their leaves, some when green, but most turn yellow. The root seems healthy and thick netted in the grounu. Can a big elm tree growing next to the house, which seems to be full of black-spot, be the cause of this disease? The leaves were continually blowing onto the roses through the ventilators. A week before the roses went back on me I gave them a half -inch mulching, half clay soil and cow manure sifted, a little slaked lime and wood ashes, about half gallon of each to 300 square feet. The roses are almost too willing to make flower buds on the many weak sprouts. Would it be best to pinch those off? My idea has been to let them have it their own way till some change for the better appears. J. N. When these leaves reached me they were so dried up that it was impossible to diagnose the case from any evidence they could supply. Killarney has a habit of shedding the ■older foliage during the late fall, and especially is this the case when root ac- tion is checked by any cause. The most common cause of this is allowing the temperature to get low during the night, when the condensation settles on the leaves. This variety seems even more susceptible to trouble from this source than any other variety I know. Mulch- ing during dark weather, or when the plants are not strong enough to have filled the bench with roots, might also arrest root action and bring about the same results. I do not think the elm leaves would have any injurious effects on the foliage, but it is best to at all times keep the surface of the soil clean. Wood ashes is a very concentrated form of food and should be applied spar The Weekly Florists^ Review* November 22, 1906. ingly, especially to young plants, and could not have been necessary when ap- plying a rich mulch of half an inch in thickness. Feed rather more sparingly until after the short days are over. Light and frequent feeding is much safer than big doses at long intervals. BiBES. HOV TO BUD ROSES. Assuming the bark is in good condi- tion, it is essential to remove all thorns from the stock around the point where the new bud is to bo inserted. Standard or half standard briars must be budded as close to the base of the shoot as pos- sible (B) and dwarfs about an inch be- low the ground line (10). Having pre- pared the stocks, select and trim a branch of the rose you wish to propa- gate (9), and with a sharp budding knife (12) cut out a bud as shown at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The bit of wood attached to the inside of the shield, or bark of the cut-out bud must be removed. In practice it is found best to hold the base of the shoot away from you when remov- ing the bud, and cut towards you, but to remove the wood from the bud a sharp pull is necessary in the opposite direction to the cut, holding the shield in the left hand and removing the wood with the right. If in bringing away in the stock; the edges of the cut are raised with the thin end of the knife handle, the bud inserted (7) and tied in with raffia (8). The process is sim- ple enough, says the Gardeners' Maga- zine, uut, like many other simple opera- tions, must be performed with care. Re- member that practice makes perfect. Allow the base of the leaf stalk to re- main, as it serves as a handle for the bud and materially facilitates the work, in hand. MUMS OUTDOORS. Why do my chrysanthemums wilt the second day after cutting? I cut late in the afternoon, and plunge them in water lor twelve hours. The next day they wilt. These are outdoor grown single stems. When is the best time to take the bud on mums growing for exhibition? They must be ready by the last of October. Please give me the best of directions for growing single-stemmed mums in pots for exhibition purposes, also to be Alg?6^ m- '^y^.i^J^ii-<: - '.--.M .. V,>-.v How to Bud Roses. this bit of wood a hole is left in the shield, then the bud has been pulled out and is useless. Having successfully re- moved the wood, trim the upper part of the shield, as shown at C. Then place the bud in the mouth to keep it moist vhile a T-shaped incision (6) is made ready by last of October. When should I take the cuttings, and in what size pot would they show off best in the exhi- bition? F. S. water through the stem. The reason for this 1 could not say unless I saw the stems, but in all probability it is because the stem has become too hard. This may be helped by splitting up the stem and then if the flowers are placed in water in such a position that the stems are standing straight up I see no reason why the water should not be taken up. It does happen sometimes that if flowers are cut in a half developed state that they wilt down, but I assume that F. S. knows when his flowers are ready to cut. The best time with us in the east for taking buds is from August 15 onwards in order to get the largest flowers. Later buds produce smaller flowers. Single-stemmed plants grown for ex- hibition and flowered in 6-inch pots should be rooted at the end of May or early in June, grown right along in pots and never allowed to suffer for want of water or nourishment. I believe 6-inch pots nearly always are used for flower- ing this type of piant. F. S. will find explicit directions on how to grow pot plants in Herrington's chrysanthemum book. C. H. T. I would say that the cause of the flower wilting is its inability to take up THRIPS. I enclose some chrysanthemum foliage with insects on the back. Please tell me what it is and how to get rid of it. M. E. A. The insects belong to the numerous family of thrips and with the flowers developed there is nothing much that can be done to clean them out at this time. Another year I would suggest that M. E. A. syringe his foliage underneath irequently and this will prevent the thrips from getting such a foothold. C. H. T. NEV CHRYSANTHEMUMS. At the meeting of the Pittsburg and Allegheny Florists' and Gardeners' Club, evening of November 6, there was a beau- tiful display of chrysanthemums, both from home and distant growers. Prom- inent among them stood a group of new varieties from the E. G. Hill Co., Rich- mond, Ind. So fine were these that a special committee was appointed to re- port on them, John W. Jones, the presi- dent of the club, being chairman. The other members were P. S. Randolph, Rob- ert Chive and William Falconer. Grandest of all the blooms was Des- troyat, a large pale pink, which lights up beautifully at night. Mr. Randolph declared it is the best pink chrysanthe- mum he ever saw. Others were: Mme. L. Roussel, incurved golden bronze, large and full, one of the finest of its color; ■i^U^«ii^1l VWJflflVr''^ NOVEMBER 22, 1006. The Weekly Florists^ Review* G, W. Renard. Mme. J.

John W. Jones. THE EXTREMES. Please state what is the earliest and also the latest commercial chrysanthe- mums, and where I can get stock, F. R. The best late chrysanthemum, so far as my experience goes, is Chadwick. The color of this variety is a flesh white. It has also a pink and a yellow sport named W. S. Allen and Yellow Chadwick respectively. The earliest large flower, and the one that seems to give the most general satisfaction, is Monrovia, a yel- a\. V varieties will, I have no doubt, be easily procured from any of the advertisers of stock plants in this paper. (, jj ^ A HOUSE OF IVORY. G. W. Benard, at Avondale, Pa., is one of those growers who has not found axiything among the later varieties of chrysanthemums to displace Ivory as a money maker. The accompanying illus- tration shows a house 28x100 feet, con- taimng 6,000 plants of Ivory, grown two flowers to the plant, the house contain- uig 12,000 blooms all in fine shape. Mr. Kenard finds Ivory about the readiest seller there is for the store man with the average class of trade. It is easy to handle and always sure of a market. Mr. Eenard is a young man endowed by nature with the heavy chin denoting courage and determination. He has been exceptionally successful in his business and is steadily pushing his way to the front. He knows a good thing when he sees it and has that other, and none too common, trait of being wise enough to let well enough alone. ANOTHER CASE OF THRIPS. Under separate cover I send some in- sects of which I find lots on my chrys- anthemums. Will you please tell me if these are the cause of the buds being misshapen, opening the petals only on one side? I used to have fine mums and have given them better care this year than ever, I think. I planted on solid beds this year. Is the trouble due to that, perhaps? N. N. The thrips enclosed are the cause of the buds coming misshapen, and in some localities they do an immense amount of damage. Planting on solid beds makes no difference so far as the thrips are concerned. All beds look alike to him so long as the buds are on the plants. Spraying the plants with a solution of nicotine makes things unpleasant for this insect, but nothing is really so effective as catching them and killing them.*" I know this seems like a hopeless job, but perseverance will accomplish wonders. 0.

CARNATION NOTES —VEST. Propagating. To the experienced grower the propa- gating season does not mean any more than any other part of the growing sea- son in so far as close attention and alert- ness are concerned. True, he has to be ready all the time to look after the wants of the cuttings, by spraying, shading, etc., but he has to be on hand just as steadily if he wants to grow high grade stock. It is to the beginner the propagating season means great worry and work. The experienced grower is always able to size up the situation at a glance and act accordingly, but not so with the beginner. He cannot act with the same precision, and because such irreparable damage can be done in such a short time his inexperience gives him no end of worry. In no other department can success or failure hang in the balance as it does during this time unless it be during transplanting in the fall. An hour of hot sunshine, or a drying draught, or water standing on the foliage over night may ruin a batch of cuttings beyond re- pair, and any one of them is likely to happen to the inexperienced who has not the foresight to guard against them. The propagating season is rapidly ap- proaching, and judging from numerous inquiries there are many beginners who are reading the Review for their daily guidance, so I will in t;Jie next few num- bers confine my notes to this subject and try to cover it as fully as possible. As I said in a recent issue, it is yet a little early to begin propagating your general stock of carnations. As most beginners are likely to propagate only for their own use, I would say wait an- other month before putting any cuttings in the sand. You can then get an abun- dance of cuttings and can put enough in sand in one batch to give you all you will need. Many of the rooted cutting specialists begin by the middle of No- vember, but we do not consider these ex- tremely early cuttings as desirable, gen- erally speaking, as those taken out of the sand during February and March. Not that they will not make splendid plants, but they are likely to become a burden to the grower before spring. One rule that must be strictly adhered to is to keep the young plants growing after they are once potted up, and repot- ting must be done whenever tbe plants need it. Few growers feel able \p spare more room than a 3-inch pot _r/quires, and in case of strong-growing varieties these early cuttings are likely to become crowded, drawn and stunted unless shift- ed into a larger size. But a cutting taken late in December of any variety I know can be grown in a 3-ineh pot until May without becoming stunted. You need not be idle jn the meantime, however. You should get things in shape so that when you begin putting in cut- tings you can stay at it and get them into the sand without delay. Get your sand on the place and protect it from severe freezing, so that ic caii be handled at any time. Either river or pit sand will do, just so it is clean. I have used sand of every degree of coarseness, from small pebbles to lake sand almost like dust and have found that good success can be had with all of them if handled accordingly. Coarse sand must be watered more frequently than the finer grades, while in the finer grades the danger of fungus is greater. The easiest to handle is a clean, sharp sand of me- dium grade. It will pack readily and, while it will hold moisture fairly well, it will not easily become soggy. Keep all loam and trash of any kind excluded from it. Perhaps you have a propagating house, built for that purpose. If so you will not need to make any preparations along that line, but if you have not you need not be worried. Any bench that can be easily shaded, and which' is so situated that you can keep strong draughts from striking it, will answer the purpose. For instance, if you have an even-span house and a narrow bench against the north wall it will make a first-class propagat- ing bench. Get some muslin wide enough to reach from the rafters below the edge of the bench and tack it to each rafter. When the sun is shining you merely let down this curtain to keep it oflf the cuttings, and at the same time they will have the full daylight. In the evening you tie it up and leave it up on cloudy days. This curtain also will be a great help in keep- ing oflf draughts. Good, sound boards will do for sides and bottom and should be whitewashed each time the sand is changed, to pre- vent fungus, etc. The boards should not be too tight, but tight enough to hold damp sand from sifting through. Spe- cial propagating benches are built with brick bottoms, and those who use them speak very highly of them. Instead of using boards for the bottom use 2x4 and place far enough apart so that a brick laid flat and crossways of the bench will reach from the middle of one 2x4 to the middle of the next. Then cover the whole bottom with bricks, laying them flat and edge against edge. For the legs and crosspieces you can use whatever material you deem best, but of course it pays to use iron or cedar as much as possible. One always wishes he had when it becomes necessary to renew the benches. Always bear in mind that cleanliness is essential in propagating. A. r. J. Baur. SYRINGED ON WET DAY. We syringed our carnations freely and it turned out to be a nasty day. We fired up heavily, but allowed the entrance of some fresh air all night, keeping the temperature at about 56 degrees. Would it have been better to run the tempera- ture up to 65 or 70 degrees to dry out the air? A. R. & S. You did the proper thing in handling your carnation house, and no harm should result from the experience they went through. You might have dropped a pinch of sulphur here and there on on© of the pipes to help dry up the atmo- sphere and check any disease, such as leaf-spot, from starting. To have shut up the house tight and run the tem- perature way up would have been a mis- take. Unless you ran it up to near 80 degrees it would not have dried up the moisture any -quicker, and that would have been entirely too hot for the plants and much more favorable to leaf-spot, which revels in a humid atmosphere. Sixty-five to 70 degrees is all right as a day temperature for Queen Louise and Mrs. Lawson, with two inches or more of air on. This would be entirely too warm at night; 55 degrees at night is warm enough to stop any trouble that may result from low temperature, such as bursting the calyx, etc. Maintaining an even temperature will really do more along that line than a high temperature will. Avoid extremes and fluctuations in temperature. A. F. J. B. BACTERIOSIS. My carnations are healthy, with the exception of some leaves which are cov- ered with light-colored streaks and blotches. Some plants are full, espe- cially on the younger and softer shoots. It started with the Lawson family, but is now seen on the Enchantress. Have not observed it on the other varieties. The plants were housed August 15 and have grown nicely and have borne nice blooms. The soil is not rich, but we are now putting on a mulch of rotten cow and horse manure mixed. The soil is a light, sandy loam, was piled up last fall with about one-sixth manure. The plants are well-rooted through the entire soil, yhich is on wooden benches and about four and one-half ihches deep. E. A. M. What is the cause of the white spots shown on the carnation foliage enclosed! I housed my plants in good shape Sep- tember 1. The compost is a medium dark clay soil, with both cow and horse manure added. They have been well ven- tilated and well cared for and have grown nicely. T. E. M. The trouble in each case is what waa formerly termed bacteriosis, but which has later been changed to stigmonose. Prof. Woods in a paper read before the American Carnation Society some years ago declared that this trouble is caused invariably by the punctures of insects, such as greenfly, thrips, etc., and that if you will keep your plants entirely free from these pests you will have no trouble along that line. That such spots are produced by these pests I do not doubt for an instant, but that they are imm^r^fftmv^^immff^ • 'VT^'j.^^ I ■_ *vw' ^r^^f-vT" —tlT,* F"U»t^r«|«"» ).»■" November 22, 1906. The Weekly Florists^ Review* the only cause of them I am not ready to admit. I have always entertained the idea that oftentimes this breaking down of the cells may be caused by improper nourishment of the plants. A lack of scientific botanical knowledge prevents me from carrying on any elaborate ex- periments to determine the correctness of this theory, but nevertheless it has clung to me and I am not ready at this time to give it up. One of the greatest obstacles in such investigation is that we can never be absolutely certain that there are not some of the pests present in the house, even though we may not be able to see them. Greenfly you can usually see by examining the plants closely, but thrips are so small and active that they may be present in considerable numbers without our knowledge. We never think to look for them unless they attack the blooms, and the idea is quite prevalent that this is the only damage they do, which of course is a mistake. "While they seem to get closer to your pocketbook when they attack the blooms, yet experienced growers know how they will weaken a plant that is badly infested. We have had varieties which would show this disease every winter, begin- ning in November and getting worse un- til midwinter, and after that get better, and finally by spring no trace of it could be found. In the same house would be such varieties as Mrs. Lawson and Jubi- lee, which were especial favorites of thrips, and these would show no signs of that pest in the blooms. Of greenfly we were positive there were none. The darker the season, the worse the disease •would be. This led me to believe that in the absence of sufficient sunlight the process of building up and maintaining the plant tissue may be impaired and cause the balance between that and the root action to be disturbed, preventing the proper nourishment of the plant. We have long ago noticed that if plants which show these spots are watered too liberally or fed very much it will aggravate the trouble. So all the advice l can give is not to push your plants too hard, but run them just a trifle on the dry side. Give them an abundance of air, as much as possible. Keep the atmosphere sweet by using sulphur and lime as recommended in these notes for leaf-spot, etc. In fact, you should encourage a moderate, well- matured, robust growth and keep them free from insects. - A. F. J. B. FEEDING. I benched my carnations September 10 in some poor soil to which was added one-fifth cow manure. When should I begin to feed them with ground-bone and how much should I use on a bench 100 feet long and four and one-half feet ■wide? bhould I apply any hardwood ashes and how much to a bench of the same size? A. R. W. Whether you should give your plants any additional food, besides what the soil contained at planting time, will de- pend entirely on the condition of the plants. If they are nicely established and healthy and the roots have run through the soil pretty well, then a light dressing of bone and a light mulch of talf rotted cow manure will do them good. First scratch the soil lightly all over the bench. Then sprinkle the bone on, about twenty-five to thirty pounds to a bench of the size you mention. Then Qjnation Winsor. cover about one-half inch thick with old cow manure which has been broken up well. After that water thoroughly once and after that water as before, except it will not require as frequent watering on account of the mulch. Wood ashes is used mostly to stiffen the stems, and we apply it about three times as heavy as we do bone, measuring the bulk instead of tne weight. Better wait until about January 1 if you apply the bone and manure now. A. F. J. B. AMERICAN CAHNATION SCK3ETY. The Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., registers Carnation Bed Riding Hood, in color a bright scarlet, in form well built, nicely fringed and well filled, with a calyx that does not burst; stem long and strong, perfectly straight; in substance the keeping qualities are of the best; in productiveness it is early, free and al- ways in crop; in habit it has strong, clean growth, with wide, heavy grass, establishing itself readily and making rapid advance. J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., registers Carnation Lucile, a large white bloom overlaid with pink, with a long, stiff stem. H.

Albert M. Herr, Sec'y. NOTES FROM ENGLAND. In England many acres of chrysan- themums are grown in the field, and when cold weather is expected a light frame- work of posts and crossbars is erected and over this is laid lightly constructed sashes, which are kept firmly in their places with a few bolts. These are fixed high enough from the ground for work- men to walk underneath. In this way a whole two-acre lot or more can be cheaply and rapidly covered and pro- tected from frost and rain, the latter probably being the worst enemy of out- door chrysanthemums. This protection is quite enough to bring the bloom on to best condition. In some cases a run of piping for heating is hung on the up- rights around each span, a portable boiler being used. When this plan is adopted the bloom can be kept in per- fect condition even as late as Christmas. I notice a writer in an American trade paper is wondering why wholesalers in the States do not send roses, carnations, etc., to the English markets, and thinks a very profitable trade could be built up in that way. No doubt they could be packed so as to arrive in perfect con- dition; but what about the English growers?

Garden and ntlier markets. If any in- tending American exporter doubts my statement let him make a visit to Co- vent Garden, say at six o 'clock on any market morning, and he will come to the conclusion that he need not send any cut blooms from America. During the last season the supply has been probably one-third above the demand and excep- tionally low prices have obtained in con- sequence. Roses, in particular, have on some market mornings been almost given away and loads have been thrown away at the end of the day. Even the Amer- ican varieties of carnations are getting so cheap and plentiful that there is now no more than a living profit in them. It is a well-known fact that in the foreign flower-market the end of the day sees big quantities of cut blooms pitched into the waste-cart. An unprecedented slump is being ex- perienced in the English-grown grape trade. Never before has the quantity been so large, the quality so good and the price so low. Magnificent Black Hamburgh and Alicante can be had as low as 14 cents per pound, grown at Worthing, and even Muscats are down as low as a shilling (24 cents). Ordi- nary black grapes can now be grown at a profit for 1 shilling per pound, but at 14 cents they of course lose money. There was a time when nothing under about 3 shillings per pound left a profit, but the larger grow&iHs^met the bad markets by cheapening proSrrctitJn. B.

It is quite the regular thing in certain flower stores to have calls for designs for presentation as testimonials of es- teem or evidences of good will. The alderman-elect is presented with a "piece" by the members of the ward club, each of whom is living in hopes of sharing in the candidate's success; the wholesale cigar house sends flowers to the opening of the new corner saloon. It is a line of work which affords a good margin of profit and is capable of development, but is often productive of unusual requirements, for frequently the order goes elsewhere if the buyer's ideas, however grotesque, are opposed. Not long since a Chicago ward elected a saloonkeeper to the city council, and nothing would do for his friends but a huge round plaque representing the end of a beer keg, with a great faucet pro- jecting from it.. The florist made it, all right, the keg of Koosevelt carnations, the brass faucet of daffodils and the ward number lettered on in violets. The accompanying illustration shows how well B. Abrahamson, a retailer on West Taylor street, Chicago, arose to the occasion when the Lion Store was opened in his neighborhood and he was called upon to make a piece symbolical of the name. He made it on a flat frame, to s]tand on a pedestal and be viewed only from one side. The body was made of pink carnations, with Bridesmaid roses for the parts of the lion which in nature are lighter colored. The mane was pink and white dahlias and the design wa^i easily the hit of a quite lavish floral display. DECORATORS' AIDS. At the recent Chicago show the re- tailers were attracted by the tasteful staging of the Eaton Flower Store's fine display of violets, for the receptacle was distinctly new. It is an invention of M. \f. Garnsey, of La Grange, 111., who about a year ago put the now well- known Japana flower holder on the market. The Japana is a cylindrical piece of brilliant lead glass, fire polished. It is perforated with holes in which the stems of flowers are placed. The holder may be placed in any sort of receptacle and water poured over it, where it not only adds to the loose and tasteful ar- rangement of the flowers, permitting each to show its individuality, but it serves to keep them fresh, for the base of the holder is notched so that a circu- lation of water is provided. The holder is practically invisible when covered with water, but is of sufficient weight so that quite heavy, long-stemmed flowers may be used in it. It is particularly adapted to use with open bowls for bulbous stock. So well has this article pleased the public that Mr. Garnsey a few days ago shipped as a single order fifty bar- rels to a supply dealer in Germany. The Anglais table decoration, as used by the Eatons at the Chicago show, is made of two units each containing a Japana holder, one unit crescent in form and one rectangular. Each piece is five and a half inches long and two and a half inches deep, and being made up of sections, many combinations of form can be arranged and adapted to any style of decoration. Each section con- taining a Japana holder, it affords a practical and simple method of arrang- ing flowers in an artistic manner, and being only two and a half inches high, it permits of low treatment, the flowers not interfering with the view across the table. A BRIDAL BOUQUET. It is not often that we see a photo- graph of "a man carrying a bridal bou- quet; usually it is a woman. But in this case the maker of the bunch was so well pleased with his work that he repaired to the picture place and the photographer got them both on his nega- tive. The gentleman is F. W. Kum- mer, manager of the Carolina Floral Co., Charleston, S. C, and the bunch is made of cattleyas, dendrobiums, lilies of the valley and Farleyense ferns, tied with chiffon. The bunch had a much lighter appearance than is indicated in the pho- tograph, where the shadows produce a somewhat heavy effect. Mr. Kummer was for five years the designer and maker-up for the J. M. Connelly Co., in Charleston, and is not only up-to-date in store work, but also in plant growing and in landscape work. He has been nineteen years in the busi- ness, having learned his trade in Swit- zerland, his native land. Charleston re- cently had a gala week and Mr. Kum- mer was awarded the prize for the best decorated store front, all the merchants on the principal streets having'competed. THE ART OF SALESMANSHIP. Results the Test of Ability. In opening this discussion it may serve the purpose better to first define an ideal salesman. The modern acceptance of the term is that of the salesman who sells the most, or makes the most money, as compared with others of his class, for the establishment in which he is em- ployed. The sense in which this paper will deal with this topic is that the ideal salesman is the most successful sales- man so far as financial returns are con- cerned. Must Know Human Nature* Considering the fact that the salesman comes in contact with all kinds of peo- ple, it is of prime importance that he be a good judge of human nature. He must know how to act, and act quickly, when a sale is at stake. He should be able to gain a fair knowledge of the disposi- Presentation Piece by B. Abrahamson, Chicago. MiiiHw Hiinnnmp((pqi!^ "T'-"!^"?"-" ' ■*" I'p'—T"'"' November 22, 1906. The Weekly Florists^ Review* n tion of the customer from his first in- quiries and general bearing. Some peo- ple enjoy conversation and an occasional joke; others are offended at too much talk. He must read his people so as to frame his remarks accordingly. Many sales are lost because the customer is displeased by an ill-timed word spoken by a clerk who fails of understanding his customer. The successful salesman is the man who possesses an insight into the ways of his customers and sympathizes with them. Know Your Goods. A second requisite is a thorough knowl- edge of the goods offered for sale. Noth- ing is more discouraging to the success of any business than ignorance on the part of clerks. A knowledge of the goods and their uses often is the means of making a sale. For instance, a lady wishes to purchase potted plants for outdoor bedding purposes but is at sea for the want of ideas as to what she shall buy and how she shall use the plants after purchase. It is here that a clerk either can lose or make a sale. If he appears indifferent, either through ig- norance or negligence, the customer may buy a slim bill, probably not enough to cover the ground and give satisfaction, or possibly she may become discouraged and buy nothing at all. On the other hand, if an intelligent or wide-awake, well-posted clerk politely offers a few suggestions he often can not only sell the goods but he frequently can increase the bill by selling more through cautious intimation and yet give the customer the best of satisfaction. The old axiom that there is no sales- manship required when a customer says to a clerk, "Give me the goods or I will tell the boss," still hol(£ good. Such a customer does not require a skilful salesman, but the salesman who sells things which people did not call for or want until their interest was awakened by the clerk is the salesman who passes in the fat salesbook at night. The modem flower store from time to time receives new goods which require introduction to the trade. The ideal salesman does not forget to remind his customers of them or to explain their advantages. Many clerks are timid con- cerning the introduction of new goods, an attribute which should be foreign to the successful salesman. Be Sure of Your Facts. Ignorance in any branch of human endeavor is never at a premium. Noth- ing is more disgusting than to hear a clerk catch himself in his own trap, in assuming knowledge he does not possess. If a salesman does not know whereof he speaks, silence is to be commended. Caution is one of the cardinal virtues in salesmanship. While a fair knowledge of Latin term- inology is desirable it is not absolutely necessary in a salesman in a retail flo- rist's establishment, but a thorough knowledge of structural and functional botany is of great importance. In these days of widespread intelligence, people often inquire as to the whys of plant life and expect an intelligent reply from one engaged in the business. In the large cities and in towns where culture pre- vails, many people study botany for their own amusement and naturally when they purchase at the flower stores they are often inclined to ask for explana- tions relating to the various phases of A Southern Bridal Bouquet and Its Maker. flowers and plants. If these inquiries are met with indifference and lack of in- formation by the salesman, it does not create a good impression on the customer. While it cannot be expected of a sales- man that he be an expert botanist and that he be able to throw light on the great problems of variation and cross- fertilization, he ought at least to have a conversational knowledge of plants and their peculiarities. SkiU in Handling Stock. Another important essential in the ideal salesman is proficiency in the ar- rangement of goods. For instance, a customer enters a retail store, wishing some cut flowers: The clerk gets them and throws them on a pile like so much hay, regardless of artistic arrangement, and without thought as to the proper light, so as to make them appear t6 the best advantage. Let us reverse the case and put the clerk with tact and ingenuity in the place of the indifferent one. He is care- ful at all times when in the presence of a customer to handle the flowers as if they were of value. It leaves a bad impression if goods are handled care- lessly, the customer often forming the opinion that you do not consider your goods of much worth. He loosely holds the roses, carnations or whatever he hap- pens to be displaying, and grasps them at the lower part of the stems, so as to make them appear as graceful as pos- sible. He tries to obtain the best light and through intelligent and well-directed endeavor he seeks to humor the custom- er's fancy. Which of the two clerks is the better fitted to wait on the trade? An ideal salesman takes the same amount of interest in the proprietor's business as if his own money were in- vested. He does not through lack of attention on his part allow any sale to escape him. He is always open to sug- gestion and is enterprising and always planning more effective methods of sell- ing goods. Tact is Invaluable. One of the greatest resources which a salesman can possess is tact, the ability to discover a customer's wishes with- out asking too many questions. A great many people dislike an attack of ques- tions and often take offense if too many are asked them. The average woman would rather look about the store and examine the goods before she purchases; and if she is not granted this privilege she may become irritated and in some cases may be inclined to leave the store. In every business there is a class of customers who are easily offended and, as it were, are ready to fight at the drop of a hat. Some salesmen may say: **I can live without them; let them bother other dealers." Now, Mr. Salesman, if you are energetic and enterprising you cannot afford to lose one customer, no matter how little he buys. It often hap- pens that customers who buy the least are quite influential. The ideal salesman never allows a customer to depart from the store dissatisfied if politeness, reason and common sense can accomplish this end. Misrepresentation Fatal. The misrepresentation of goods is a vital factor in the downfall of any busi- ness. The salesman who misrepresents ' goods for the sake of getting large sales for today fast loses prestige with his cus- tomers.

Xot long since a Chicago ward elected ii saloonkeeper to the city council, and nothing would do for his friends but a huge round plaque representing the end of a beer keg, with a great faucet ])ro- jecting from it. The florist made it, all light, the keg of Roosevelt carnation.s, the brass faucet of dattodils and the ward number lettered on in violets. The acconipanying illustration shows how well B. Abrahamson, a retailer on West Taylor street, Chicago, arose to the occasion when the Lion Store was opened in his neighborhood and he was called upon to make a ]»iece symbolical of the name. He made it on a flat frame, to stand on a ])edestal and be viewed only from one sitle. The body was made of pink carnations, Avith Bridesmaid roses for the parts of the lion which in nature are lighter colored. The mane was pink and Avliite dahlias ami the design waj? easily the hit of a quite lavish floral display. DECORATORS' AIDS. At tlie recent Chicago show the re- tailers were attracted by the tasteful staging of the Katon Flower .Store's fine display of violets, for the recejitaidc was distinctly new. It is an invention of ]M, \. (iarnsey, of l.a Grange, 111., who about .a year ago ]iiit the now well- known ,la|)ana flower holder on the maiket. The .Ta}>aiia is a cylindrical piece of brilliant lead glass, fire polished. Jt is iierforated with holes in which the stems of flowers are ])laced. The holder may be placed in any sort of receptacle and water poured over it, where it not only adds to the loose and tasteful ar- rangement of the flowers, permitting each to show its individuality, but it serves to keep them fresh, for the base of the holder is notched so that a circu- lation of water is provided. The holder is practically invisible when covered with water, but is of sufficient weight so that quite heavy, long-stemmed flowers may be used in it. It is j>articularly ada])ted to use with open bowls for bulbous stock. So well has this article pleased the public that Mr. (Jarnsey a few days ago shipped -as a single order fifty bar- r(ds to a supply dealer in (iermany. The Anglais table decoration, as used by the Eatons at the Chicago show, is made of two units each containing a .la|)ana holder, one unit crescent in form and one rectangular. Each piece is five and a half inches long and two and a half inches deep, and being made up of sections, many combinations of form can be arranged and adapted to any style of ilecoration. Each section con- taining a Japana holder, it affords a practical and simple method of arrang- ing flowers in an artistic manner, and being only two and a half inches high, it permits of low treatment, the flowers not interfering with the view across the table. A BRIDAL BOUQUET. It is not often that we see a plioto- graph of "a man carrying a bridal bou- (piet; usually it is a woman. But in this case the maker of the bunch was so well pleased with his work that he rei)aired to the ])ictiiie i)lace and the photographer got them both on his nega- tive. The gentleman is F. W. Knm- mer, manager of the Carolina Floral Co., Charleston, S. C, and the bunch is made of cattleyas, dendrobiums, lilies of the valley and Farleyense ferns, tied with chifl'on. The bum-h had a much lighter appearance than is indicated in the pho- tograph, where the shadows produce a somewhat heavy effect. Mr. Kummer was for five years the designer and maker-up for the J. M, Connelly Co., in Charleston, and is not only up-to-date in store work, but also in plant growing and in landscape work. He has been nineteen years in the busi- ness, having learned his trade in Swit- zerland, his native land. Charleston re- cently had a gala week and Mr. Kum- mer was awarded the prize for the best decorated store front, all the merchants on the principal streets havingcompeted. THE ART OF SALESMANSHIP. Results the Test of Ability. In opening this discussion it may serve the purpose better to first define an ideal salesman. The modern acceptance of the term is that of the salesman who sells the most, or makes the. most money, as compared with others of his class, for the establishment in which he is em- ployed. The sense in which this paper will deal with this topic is that the ideal salesman is the most successful sales- mnni^o far as financial returns are con- cern exf. Must Know Human Nature. Considering the fact that the salesman comes in contact with all kinds of peo- ple, it is of prime importance that he bo a good judge of human nature. He must know how to act, and act quickly, when a sale is at stake. He should be able to gain a fair knowledge of the disposi- Presentation Piece by B. Abrahamson, Chicago. N.»\ KMiicit SZ. I'.hk;. The Weekly Florists^ Review* n tion of the customer from bis first in- quiries and general bearing. Some peo- j)le enjoy conversation and an occasional joke J others are offended at too much talk. Ho nuist read his people .so as to frame his remarks accordingly. iMany sales are lost because the customer is displeased by an ill-timed word spoken by a clerk avIio fails of understanding Jiis customer. Tlie successful salesman is the man who j)Ossesses an insight into the ways of his customers and symjtatliizes with them. Know Your Goods. A second requisite is a thorough knowl- edge uf tiie goods otfered for sale. Noth- ing is more discouraging to the success uf any business than ignorance! on the jiart of clerks. A knowledge of the goods and their uses often is the means nf making a sale. For instance, a lady wishes to pnrcha.se. ]»otte(.l plants for outdoor bedding jinrposes but is at sea for the want uf ideas as to what she shall buy and how she .shall use the jilants after jnirchase. It is here that a <-lerk either can lose ur make a sale. If he appears indifferent^ either tiiruugh ig- norance or negligence, the customer may buy a .slim bill, ])robably not enongli to cover the ground and give .satisfairtion, or possibly she nmy l)ecome iliscouraged and buy nothing at all. On the other hand, if an intelligent or wide-awake, well-posted clerk i)olitely otiers a few- suggestions he often can not only sell the goods but he frequently can increase the bill by selling more through cautious intimation and yet give the customer the best of satisfaction. The old axiom that tl>«fe is no sales- manship required when a customer says to a clerk, "(iive me the goods or 1 will tell the boss," still holds good. Such a customer does not require a skilful salesman, but the sak^man who sells things which people did not call for or want until their intero^t^a.s awakened liy the clerk i^tEfr salesman who passes in the fat §rfIvi(nis. and out of place to mention it in connection with this theme, l)ut politeness often is sacri- ficed for business despatch. No one will disi)ute that tlespatch is ilesirable in bu.si- ne.ss, but it must not be allowetl to over- reacli its bounds and encroach on courtesy. This is an eiemon.t in modern business metliods which is underestimated and often proves expensive. A salesman may j)ossess splendid selling instincts but if he hud^s this simjjle essential lie lacks one of the most important (juali- lications which go to make a successful salesman. Conmu)n sense, which forms the l)asis of most successful ventures, is the great- est resource whi(di a salesman can pos- sess. To be able to understand the situation, determiiu! the wants of the customer and then proceed to satisfy them in a manner pleasing to both cus- tomer and proprietor is the long and short of successful salesmansiiip, a sales- manship too rarely met with. Irving L. Bi:.\xi\(;. ^♦^'♦-i^i THE AUTUMN EXHIBITIONS PROVIDENCE. According to those autiioritativcly in- formed, to conduct a liower show suc- cessfully two essential conditions must 1)0 considered. First, to secure an at- A tractive exhibit of stock; second, to get people to look at the things exhibited. The annual exhibition of the Ehode Island Horticultural Society, in Falstaff hall, November 13 and 14, showed con- clusively tliat the members of that or- ganization were keenly alive as to the essentials of a well-conducted show, as shown )iy a grand collection of cut flowers, decorative, foliage and flowering plants, which in both quality and num- bers in many classes far surpassed any- thing the society has placed before the public during its existence of almost a half-century. The hall, centrally located and admirably adapted for a flower show^ was unquestionably the best location yerv, selected for the purpose, and by a com- bination of newspaper advertising and complimentary admittance, the exhibition hall was s/ii entrancing scene of color an animatj^i from the time of opening un til the clocks had chimed out the mid- night hour of the closing date. Unfor- tunately— for the exhibits especially— the janitor' had shown an all too kindly dis- ])Osition regarding the comfort of vis- itors; as a natural result, the narcotic- like temperature of the hall caused the entire showing of carnations to wither before the second and final day of the show. These unfortunate conditions naturally lessened the interest and de- prived "cariiationists from neighboring cities, many of whom could not attend until the second day, from inspecting a number of seedlings — the product of lo- cal growers. Among the clirysnntli(Miiinii exhibits, John A. ]\Iacrae's new sport of Yellow I'laton, tippropriately iianied (!olden Dome, stood preeminenr. Massive in si/e, brilliant in color and witii but sii;:ht cliaiicc for improvement in form, it easily deserved the meritorious com- ments received and the gold medal awarded. The E. G. Hill Co., Kichmond, Ind., will disseminate this novelty dur- ing the coming season. Mr. ^lacrae also secured the lion 's share of prizes in classes for twenty-five blooms of T. Eaton ; display of not less than ten vari- eties in fifty bottles; also for six vases, ten blooms, long stems. Frank A. Sayles, Pawtueket, was also a prominent winner in the chrysanthemum display, securing numerous leading honors for six speci- mens of the various colors of standard varieties. Seth A. Borden, Fall River, Mass., won me coveted prize for twenty- five blooms of Col. 1^. Appleton. Will- iam Hill won several prizes with an ex- hibit comprising gems of the first water. Tlie carnation exhibit, while ahead of that of last year in numbers, was hardly ('(jiial in (juality to the one usually seen here. The dis|)lay comprised principally staiidai'd varieties. A few seedlings were shown. .1. if. dishing, (^uidnick, \\{)U first for rns, evergreens and trailing vines. In addition to the mums there were good lots of roses and carnaticms.

Eoney, superintendent of the Lakeview Eose Gardens, Jamestown, N. Y., has been in the trade since he was a boy. He is a native of England, hav- ing been born in the village of Bigrigg, near Whitehaven, April 2, 1865. At the age of 14 years he began his career as a florist, being an apprentice for three years on the estate of David Ainsworth, M. P., under the tutelage of William Fox, gardener. After going to the es- tate of Lord Lonsdale, Lowther Castle, Whitehaven, and remaining for some time, he went to James Dickson & Sons, Newton Nurseries, Chester, England, and worked through all the departments of their business, both, inside and outside the greenhouses. Coming to the United States in 1885, Mr. Eoney 's first position was with Al- burger Bros., of Philadelphia. He was also with Bobert Craig & Son for some time. From Philadelphia he went to Wilkesbarre, Pa., and was manager of "the Wilkesbarre Floral Co. He stayed with this firm until real estate became too valuable for greenhouse pur- poses in that part of town, and the place was torn down. After four years spent with Benjamin Dorrance, of Dor- rance. Pa., he accepted the office of head gardener to James Boyd, of Harrisburg, Pa., and for five years had charge of one of the finest and best equipped private greenhouses in southeastern .. Pennsylva- nia. While in this position, Mr. Eoney did considerable work in landscaping, laying out new grounds, drives, golf links and artificial lakes. In 1898 Mr. Eoney went to James- town, N. Y., as manager of the Lake- view Eose Gardens, where he has con- tinued until the present time. He has developed the business of this firm until the houses now cover eight acres, solidly built up in greenhouse glass. He has developed a trade that compasses a radius of 500 miles from Jamestown. The Lakeview Eose Gardens has become one of the leading eastern establish- ments. UTICA, N. Y. New Seedling Raisers. This city has become quite a rose cen- ter, following in the footsteps of Peter Crowe; but our special journey to Utica was to visit the carnation specialists, H. H. Nicholson and A. O. Grassl, at the Wa-no-ka Greenhouses. This Indian name must be pronounced with the om- phasis on the "no," and means, in In- dian lingo, wigwam or tepee alone o? iso- lated. As the elder Mr. Nicholson was the first of the Utica citizens to build a beautiful summer residence in the vil- lage of Barneveld he thought the name appropriate, and when he built his first three carnation houses the same euphoni- ous Pawnee designation was given them. This village formerly was known as Trenton, but is now known as Barneveld, and is a pretty village nestling in the foothills of the Adirondack mountains and thirty minutes by rail north of Utica. There is no Mohawk or Seneca Indian left to scalp the white man, but there is black bear and deer in abun- dance, within a few miles. Mr. Nicholson for two years had no expert grower, and then secured the serv- ices of A. O. Grassl, who now is an equal partner. Mr. Grassl, it will be remem- bered^ was the carnation specialist for. several years with L. E. Marquisee, of Syracuse, and to him must be given the credit of raising that fine old pink, so happily named The Marquis, and later the fine scarlet. Flamingo, and several others less widely grown. If ever the prospects of a firm looked rosy it is this one. I had the pleasure of visiting these houses three years ago, and I then said, as can be repeated, that for health, vigor and quantity of bloom and buds I never had seen their carna- tions equaled, and I have seen some in my travels. At that time the houses were filled with the standard varieties, and Mr. Grassl had too recently taken hold to show any result in crossing varie- ties, but now it is a different story. Well-grown benches of Lawson, Enchan- tress and The Queen are passed without C. H, Roney. comment because Mr. Grassl has seed- lings of his own that make these good varieties look small and commonpTax:e. There are a few of these seedlings that will cause a sensation in the carnation world. It is a common failing to be too much enamored with one 's own off- spring, to be blind to their faults, but both members of the firm reiterated the statement that no seedlings of theirs ever will be sent out that they have not proved to be superior in habit, stem, size and color to any existing variety, and they mean to keep to this laudable policy. We could not remember the many good things, so made notes on the spot, and here they are: No. 32, Apple Blossom, seedling 1904. They now have a large stock extremely free, fifteen to twenty Christmas buds now showing, last year yielded thirty-six flowers to the plant, largest size and perfect form, in bright weather almost pure white, in cloudy weather lightly splashed with pink. Never have we seen such a mass of flowers and buds. No. 5 — Lawson type, but a great im- provement on that famous variety, both in form and color. Does not show the blue shade as in Lawson. No. 110 — This wonderful seedling will easily displace Enchantress. It is a sal- mon pink, will average three and one- half inches, and twice as heavy, and a great stem. No. 25 — Large and free white, an im- provement over Lady Bountiful and much freer. No. 103 — Another large, pure white of great freedom. No. 8 — Medium sized white of Law- son habit. This is extremely free, and although we call it medium size it will make The Queen and Market look small. No. 11 — ^Large and prolific crimson. There is one seedling grown here, named Snowball, phenomenal for size and freedom. The flowers will average four inches and resemble a small flower of Ivory chrysanthemum. There are a number of other seedlings growing here, crimson, light and dark pink, variegated, etc., but the above are the pick. Although Mr. Grassl believes truly that he has a phenomenal flower in Snowball and the improvement on En- chantress, No. 110, yet I was greatly impressed with the beautiful Apple Blos- som. Mr. Grassl is such an expert in the art of crossing and selecting varie- ties that I soberly say from this seques- tered village is likely to emanate for many years successive wonders of the .dianthus family. I hope you will all see Apple Blossom at Toronto, and oth- ers from this young firm. Crowe and Brant Bros. We took advantage of the hospitality of our old friend Peter Crowe, at the home of Adiantum Croweanum. At his fern-houses there are 25,000 feet of glass devoted to the adiantum which bears his name, and yet he tells me he cannot fill his orders. The Brant Bros, have rented fifteen large modern rose houses of Mr. Crowe's and have been so successful that last spring they purchased two acrea.x)f land and built a range of six houses, each 22x150. Both this range and the houses rented are in fine order. We had a pleasant visit with Harry Brant, who later in the day started on a visit to his brother in Madison, N. J. W. S. MILWAUKEE, Fred W. Mueller, who has been in the newspaper business at Watertown, Wis., will put up a range of 15,000 feet of glass close to Milwaukee in the spring, to grow carnations for the wholesale market. Mr. Mueller came to this country from Germany when 19 years of age, with but 35 cents in his pocket. He could not speak a word of English, and went to work in a brickyard and in the timber camps of Michigan. ^During his spare hours he educated himself in English. Subsequently he came to Milwaukee and worked at whatever honorable employ- ment he could obtain, until he became a reporter on a German newspaper in Mil- waukee, in time becoming the editor of a daily paper. After a while the paper upon which he was employed was con- solidated with another, and he became manager. Afterwards he became adver- tising agent of the Milwaukee Herald. OSAGE, lA. The annual chrysanthemum show and floral exhibit at Walter Hall's green- houses, NovemDer 12-14, was quite a suc- cess, with a good attendance each even- ing.

The Weekly Florists' Review^ 15 was beautifully decorated and arranged to look like a parlor, where the guests were received, after which they were in-^ vited to the dining-room, where light re- freshments were served. Here the deco- rations were in green. Timothy Eaton mums and green carnations were the iiowers used. Music was furnished by Prof. Annise's orchestra. BOSTON. The MJ^ket A much improved' tone has been ap- parent in the market during the last few daya, due in some degree to a better de- mand and also to the customary holding back for Thanksgiving. Chrysanthemums have cleared well. Some small blooms have sold as low as $2 per hundred, me- diums at $5 to $8, while select blooms brought $3 to $4 per dozen. Koses have also sold better at about the same rates as a week ago except that better grades show a hardening tendency. Carnations have cleared out well at from $1.50 to $4 per hundred. Scarlet shades of good quality made the top price. Violets took a Doom on November 17 for the big football games, realizing $1 per hundred. From 50 cents to 75 cents per hundred has been the steady average on other days. Singles are now of superb quality. Sweet peas remain at $1 per hundred, snapdragon $4, valley $3 to $5, lilies and callas $12.50. Bouvardia comes from several growers and sells in var- ious sized bunches at 25 cents, 50 cents and 75 cents per bunch. Adiantum, smi- lax and asparagus remain about the same. Some nice azaleas, cyclamens, Lorrain begonias, ardisias and solanums are arriving in addition to pots of chrys- anthemums. Horticultural Society Election. The annual election of the Massachu- setts Horticultural Society on November 17 drew out the largest gathering seen for a number of years at a similar meet- ing. Special interest attached to the election for president, W. W. Kawson running as an independent candidate against Gen. S. M. Weld, the regular nominee. An appropriation of $5,500 for prizes during 1907 was carried. Consid- erable discussion took place in regard to the nominating committee ignoring Mr. Eawson's claim to the presidency, in which President A. F. Estabrook, W. H. Spooner, W, W. Eawson, Jas. H. Bow- ditch and others took part. Voting was by Australian ballot, the following being the result: For presi- dent, Gen. Weld 136 votes, W. W. Raw- son 66. Other officers elected were vice- president for two years, C. S. Sargent; trustees for three years, W. N. Craig, A. F. Estabrook, A. O. Hill and John K. M. L. Farquhar; nominating com- mittee, A. F. Estabrook, W. H. Heustis, William Nicholson, Loring Underwood and Edward B. Wilder. Qub Meeting. All records for attendance were once more broken at the meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club November 20. It was evident that considerable canvassing had been in progress on be- half of some of the candidates and a keen interest was taken in the struggle for the presidency between T. H. West- wood and J. W. Duncan. The nominat- ing committee, Messrs. Orpet, Cameron and Heurlin. according to a previous votex)f the club, brought in two sets of names for each office. Balloting by the Australian system occupied considerable time, the final result being announced as follows: President, T. H. Westwood, sixty-seven votes to J. W. Duncan sixty; vice-president, P. E. Palmer, Brookline ; secretary, W. ^. Craig, North Easton; treasurer, Edward Hatch; exec- utive committee, Messrs. Cameron, Wheeler, Grey and Nicholson. The tell- ers were Messrs. Orpet, Sim, Eea, Finlay- son and Cameron. The membership list was once again increased to the extent of seventeen names and more are promised for the December meeting. It was reported that a good start in securing applications for the landscape gardening classes had been made, starting with fifty, and quite a number more expressed their desire to join them. Treasurer Hatch offered $100 to assist the work. Exhibits were quite numerous and in- cluded S. J. Goddard's new variegated seedling carnation, Helen Goddard x En- chantress, which showed up well.

Sim had his new single violet and Fletcher showed Ficus altissima. James Salter brought fine Enchantress carnations and W. H. Heustis showed Ilex glabra. C. H. Totty sent a collection of pompon and single mums. A lecture by W. H. Wyman was an- nounced for the December meeting. Queries from the question box and re- freshments took up some time and it was quite a late hour before the biggest and best club meeting yet held adjourned, all being brimful of enthusiasm.

Peirce Bros, are, as usual, marketing big quantities of Bonnaffon, Ivory, Bal- four and other mums of fine quality. W. N. Craig. APPLETON, WIS. Upon a recent trip to Appleton, M. Crawford, of Cuyahoga Falls, O., said he always likes to visit here because he has an old friend and classmate of his school years here in Miss May Carter, preceptress at Ormsby hall. In the con- versation it developed Miss Carter was born and reared in Cuyahoga Falls, and that the May gladiolus, one of the most widely grown varieties, was named after Miss Carter. It seems when Mr, Craw- ford "^'as first experimenting in what has become his life work he was working one day when Miss Carter and other class- mates called on him, and before they left he named a bulb after each of them. The bulb named after Miss Carter hap- pened to possess the properties requisite for its going all over the world, and though few know where it derived its name. Gladiolus May, Mr. Crawford di- vulged the secret. « DANVILLE, ILL. Danville is one of the most important cities in Illinois outside of Chicago. Our shipping facilities consist of both steam and electric lines. No one with money needs to have any fear in locating here, as Chicago can be reached with our flow- ers in three hours over any one of three different lines. It is also one of the healthiest cities in the country. We had a flower show at the Soldiers' Home November 11. It was free to the public and was well attended all day. It\ was a real treat to flower lovers. All the florists report trade good in cut flowers, the dejnand being greater than the supply. Mr. Wadsworth has bought a place in a fine location. A. W. M.

Chicago^s Great Train Service. A compilation by the Travelers', Ship- pers' and Mail Guide shows that 1,537 trains — passenger, mail and freight — daily arrive in and depart from Chi- cago. It is stated no other city in the world can equal this record. The total number of through passenger and mail trains arriving and departing is 455, of suburban trains 807, and of freight trains 272. The Deering FuneraL On Monday the E. Wienhoeber Co. had what was possibly the largest funeral of the season, that of the only daughter of the Deering who founded the great har- vester works. The casket cover was made of orchids, valley and adiantum and represented $400. McKellar sup- plied for the day orchids to the value of nearly $200. Practically all the valley in town was used. Three of Wienhoeb- er's wagons were required to take the flowers to Graceland. Incidentally, it is worth noting that Chicago retailers are charging for their teams, usually $5 each, when called for for service at funerals. Violets. The receipts of New York violets fell off noticeably last week. There are vary- ing opinions as to the cause. One whole- saler says it was the horse show in New York. Another avers that there is no crop on at Ehinebeck. A buyer suggests that the growers have had an intimation that Thanksgiving is coming. At any rate, prices advanced on an otherwise weak market, and practically all the houses are asking more money on orders offered for Thanksgiving. There may be plenty of violets, but the wholesalers do not wish to be caught. If this market does not return as good prices as are realized in New York, that is the end of the violet supply, at least for a time. Boxwood. There are varying reports as to the sale of boxwood sprays, but it begins to look as though the boxwood business is likely to be overdone. A couple of ener- getic gentlemen from the east took large orders trom practically all the wholesal- ers and then supplied the leading retail- ers, so that everyone has boxwood. Some of the small florists who have not used it until this season have been introduced and are consuming considerable quanti- ties in funeral work, but the market looks to have boxwood to last until the cows come home. Carnation ^insor. J. E. Fotheringham, of the F. B. Pier- son Co., Tarry town, N. Y., has spent the time since the flower show in visiting the growers around Chicago. Nearly all the growers attended the show, but Mr. Fotheringham says it surprised him that so few of them saw the new varieties of carnations. His vase of Winsor was the marvel of all observant ones, for, shipped from New York Monday, the flowers were in fine shape Saturday, as fresh as any in the show. Shipments leccived last week also came through finely. The color pleases and most of the growers on whom he called gave Mr. Fotheringham orders for stock. Poehlmann Bros. Co. took 5,000; Anton Then, 2,500; Jensen & Dehema, a good bunch, and many others. Mr. Fotheringham says the house recently received an order from England for 5,000 cuttings of Winsor. A Good Glue. The small detail of pasting the labels on boxes of cut flowers is one that has many times assumed importance through the label soaking off or becoming illegi- ble because of rain blurring the address. E. C. Amling, who always watches the little things that count, has discovered a glue that he thinks should be used by every shipper. It is called Magnet glue, and was sold to him by R. Y. Bradshaw & Co., 15 "\i^est Madison street, Chicago. The glue is transparent, so that it may- be spread right over the address label,, hardens quickly and is waterproof, so tnat the label is safe as long as the wrapping stays on the box. VariotM Notes. Donald Scott will open a retail store at 3265 South Park avenue December 1. Fred Klingel now is bookkeeper for Kruchten 6c Johnson. He formerly kept the books for Peter Eeinberg, but last winter went to Mexico for his health, returning not much improved. A young local doctor removed his appendix and now he is feeling fine.

Albert Amling has planted a house with Adiantum Farleyense for cutting. He procured his stock of J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, and says he is more than pleased with the plants sent him. The E. r. Winterson Co. is handling plants from Robert Craig Co., Philadel- phia, among them Ficus pandurata, which is something of a novelty in this market. Sinner Bros, are putting in a new 100 horse-power steam boiler equipped with a Martin rocking grate. Local buyers find it difficult to place orders for bouquet green. It appears that early bookings are all that the large handlers expect to be able to supply, and it no longer is a question of price. "Wietor Bros, supplied the Boston Store with 12,000 mums in one lot for a special sale last Saturday. For quantity on a single order it probably will stand as a record for this market. C. M. Dickinson still is suffering with rheumatism, being unable to get to his office more than one or two days a week. Mrs. W. E. Lynch, whose condition gave concern, now is convalescing. T. V. Brown is a new addition to the force at Hunt 's. Zech & Mann are getting in a lot of Maud Dean which would make any of the new pink mums hustle to get into the running. Peter Reinberg returned Sunday from a week at Duquoin, where he found the quail almost as abundant as Leonard jLill says the buds on Liberty now are in the greenhouses. They also are cut- ting heavily of Marshall Field and ex-' pect Richmond to be in full crop for Christmas. Mr. Kill has been ill for a week, but again is on deck. Vaughan & Sperry state that last week they received two tons of boxwood sprays from an eastern importer and were somewhat alarmed for fear they had overbought, but say they disposed of 1,000 pounds within three days and are well pleased with the demand. The A. L. Randall Co. is opening some importations of German Easter novelties. The new catalogue is beginning to en- liven things in the supply department. Weiland & Risch say tney are ready for winter, 1,200 tons of fuel being in the sheds and six cars on the track Mon- day. They burn about 1,800 tons of coal each year. W. J. Smyth says business has been especially good this fall and thinks that in part at least it is due to the much improved appearance his store makes with its big, new, brilliantly lighted windows. A novelty seen here is covered glass globes filled with partridge berry sprays, the red berries standing out among the dark green leaves, the globe tied with red cord to match. A little damp moss in the bottom of each globe serves to keep the foliage fresh for some time. Will Arnold, one of George Reinberg 's rosegrowers, has returned from Alexan- dria, Va., where he was called to testify in the suit of J. Louis Loose, who sought damages from the Southern railroad be- cause the greenhouses, where Mr. Ar- nold formerly was employed, are dark- ened by smoke from the roundhouse. The jury disagreed. The Muir store on Michigan avenue makes a fine appearance in the evening, three sides being glass, so that all the- stock may easily be seen from the street when the store is lighted up. Among the week's visitors was Fred Mansoff, of Brandon, Man., looking up material for a new plant he proposes to ^ut up in the spring.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. reports a good crop of roses on at New Castle. J. A. Budlong's people thought well of Carnation Winona as shown at the Coliseum. Louis Wittbold, of the George Witt- bold Co., has perfected a new plant stand for decorative purposes. George Manos, whose stand is in the Union depot, says that sales of chrysan- themums during the last week have been exceptionally large. He has an artistic window decorated with pink, yellow and white varieties. DENVER. The Market. . Chrysanthemums now occupy the cen- ter of the stage and are the most im- portant factor at this time. They have been in good supply. Some fine stock is to he had, but it looks as if there might be a shortage in the finer grades for Thanksgiving. Prices range from $1 to $2 per dozen, some of the fancies bring- ing a higher price. The chrysanthemums do not seem to interfere to any great ex- tent with the sale of roses and carna- tions, all of which seem to move at fair prices, roses perhaps being more plenti- ful and quality good. Carnations have improved and are now nearing the qual- ity of the stock that it is usual to dis- play at this time of the year. Many new varieties are noticed, but only a few have as yet outshone the old varieties. The Park Floral Co. is cutting some es- pecially fine red carnations, Eobt. Craig and Victory, and a good supply of ex- cellent Enchantress is being received from various sources. Violets are show- ing improved color and length of stem, most of them being of really excellent quality, with prices ranging from 50 cents to $1 per hundred. Various Notes. The Alpha Floral Co. opened its new store November 16 in the new Empire Building, on Sixteenth street, in the place the old Alpha store was before the building was torn down. They had a fine showing of cut flowers, chrysanthe- mums predominating. The new store is artistic. The walls are hung in pretty green paper, which forms an effective background to the flowers, and along one side are mirrors running the full length. The "Japana" Flower Bolder k \j I nS especially designed to be used in open bowls, etc. It is made of solid glass with numerous holes which hold the flowers in an upright position and insure a perfect circulation for the water, and being made of glass, does not show when in use.

The ''Anglais" Table Decoration JHE "ANGLAIS" Table Deco- ration is especially designed for a simple and practical method of artistic table decoration.

Back of the store is a palm room where all kinds of potted plants were on exhi- bition, baskets of begonias hung from the ceiling and formed a bower. Mr. and Mrs. Mahan are to be congratulated on their new store. A number of eastern florists returned from the Chicago show with J. A. Valen- tine. Henry and Paul Dailledouze, of Flatbush, N. Y., came by previous ar- rangement, hut a number of others came to investigate the merits of a mining project in which they were interested. These include Arthur Herrington, C. H. Totty, William Duckham, of Madison, N. J.; K. Vince, of Morristown, N. J., and Robert Laurie, of Providence.

About thirty of the Denver growers and store men attended to extend greetings to the visitors. At the request of Mr. Valentine, Messrs. Totty and Herrington spoke to those as- sembleij upon new chrysanthemums and the best methods of growing them. "Will- iam Duckham said a few words for the Chrysanthemum Society of America, which resulted in the course of the eve- ning in securing several new members. Paul Dailledouze told of some of the newer carnations and how they were be- having where he had seen them. Eefresh- ments were tiien served and the crowd mingled in an informal manner, which enabled all the local men to meet the vis- itors and become better acquainted. It was an occasion that was greatly enjoyed by local florists, who seldom have the pleasure of meeting so many growers of such enviable reputation. Most of the visitors returned from the mountains on Wednesday and departed for home on the Burlington. Paul and Henry Dail ledouze remained a few days longer w' Mr. Valentine and took the trip to rado Springs and to the Cripple/Oreek mining district. At Colorado ^rin^js-' they were royally entertained by ybn- H, Evans, who took them to Glen Eyrie, the Garden of the Gods, and Manitou, and later entertained the visitors and a few others at dinner at the Antlers hotel. Mr. Evans was voted the prince of entertainers. The Glen Eyrie estate of General Palmer is in charge of Mr. Fohn, for- merly of Hartford, and shows that he has made marked progress in the few months he has been in charge. A new park which is being improved in Colorado Springs by General Palmer is under the supervision of John Berry, formerly of Denver. This work deserves extended mention, but lack of space forbids. The one important event in society this week is the Charity ball, on Thursday evening. The decorations will be as elaborate as in former years and is in the hands of the Park Floral Co. Emil Glauber, of the Montclair Green- houses, is cutting some fine long-stemmed Enchantress, also some excellent chry- santhemums. E. S. K. ST. LOUIS. The Market Business has fallen off as compared with a week ago. There were a number of social functions, wedding and some funeral work reported. Next week will be Thanksgiving, and an increase in business is looked for and we hope that it will be large enough to average up a )()d business for the month. 'The wholesale houses are all loaded up 'with good stock of all kinds, with prices rather low on roses and second-class chrysanthemums. In roses we see some fine stock of Bride, Maid, Eichmond, Golden Gate and Ivory, also a fair quan- tity of Beauties. Carnations, too, have become plentiful in all grades, and for once this season there were more in the market than the demand called for. Vio- lets are not overplentiful and are selling clean at 60 cents per hundred. Extra good lily of the valley is now to be had. Chrysanthemums are still arriving in lots too many for the demand. Extra choice blooms sell well. Other grades are gen- erally left over. The pink sorts are at a standstill. There are plenty of good smilax and other greens. Variou* Notes. During last week the following gen- tlemen called on the trade: William W. Abrahamson, representing E. H. Hunt, of Chicago; B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., Philadelphia; S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia; Henry Johan, of Collins- ville, and J. F. Ammann, of Edwards- ville. Each gentlemen is sending some extra fine stock to the market. Mrs. Himmer, wife of John Himmer, of Himmer Bros., died last week, leaving a large family. Mr. Himmer has the sympathy of the trade. George Angcrmueller was taken ill at the store last Saturday and was taken home, where he is resting easily, and will be out by the end of the week to attend to business. Mrs. Ostertag has opened the store at Grand avenue and Olive street formerly occupied by her daughter Mary. The trustees have outlined for the next meeting of the club, December 13, two important discussions and have assigned them as follows: The first one on "How to Decorate a Retail Store for the Christ- mas Holidays," by Theodore Miller; the second one on "Growing Orchids and Other Varieties of Choice Plants," by H. G. Pring, of the Missouri Botanical Garden. President Irish will call an officers' meeting next week to outline work for each meeting of next year.

On Friday a wind storm nearly blew the tent over, but prompt work saved it from destruction. A number of the trade were in attendance. The show will continue throughout the present week and will be open at night. George Walters, wire worker for some of the trade, lost his little daughter last week. The trade extends its sympathy. The employees of the park department gave a housewarming in the new Forest park greenhouses, which have just been completed. Superintendent George Os- tertag and John Ratchford, keeper of the park, were presented "with gold watches. The employees who attended numbered 125. H. Vernheyem, keeper of O 'Fallon i^ark, made the presentation speech. J. J. B. PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. During the last week flowers kept mov- ing out fairly well. It is thought that the biggest part of the chrysanthemums have been cut. Those which will come from no\y on will command a better price than the early ones did. There are some really fine flowers coming to town, which are as good as exhibition kinds, notably some white and yellow Chadwick. Last Saturday was a great day for yel- low chrysanthemums, on account of the Princeton football game, which a great many Philadelphians attended. Violets also are in good demand, and as yet uo not seem very plentiful. Beauties sold fairly well last week, with a tendency towards better prices, which will proba- bly be realized before the end of the week.

There are some choice carnations, but the market on all grades is inclined to be a little druggy. White and pink roses are not quite up to their form, but are improving, and no doubt from now on will bring a better average price. There are some good Paper White narcissi arriving, in novelties, there is a limited supply of mignonette and for- get-me-nots, which find ready sale at good prices; also some snapdragon, NOVEMBBB 22, 1906.

Orchids have sold well, when they have arrived in good condition. Adiantum Farleyense* Adiantum Farleyense is the most beau- tiful of our tender ferns. Its exquisite form, grace and shadings of color ap- peal irresistibly to all flower lovers; decorators prize it for choice work, either with the most fragile blossoms or alone. The diflSculty in growing this tender adi- antum has greatly restricted its use. For a number of years Philadelphia was obliged to depend on outside growers for a certain supply of fine fronds of this variety. This is the more remarkable when the skill of our local plantsmen is considered, but now it is pleasant to re- late we have at least two growers who are able to produce Adiantum Farley- ense of finest quality, in suflBcient quan- tity to supply this and probably other cities. H. H. Battles, whose belief in the use of all varieties of fine green is well known, is sending out from his Thornhedge Greenhouses stock that adds even to his reputation, while the Henry A. Dreer Co. is using its new dahlia houses for the time being to produce stock that any good judge would unhesi- tatingly place in class A, section 1. The modus operandi is one of those simple combinations of conditions controlled and certain laws of plant health strictly fol- lowed, which so often distinguish the su- perior from the ordinary plantsman. Variotu Note*. The Leo Niesaen Co. believes that the quality of flowers will be exceptionally fine for Thanksgiving. Chrysanthemums promise to be more plentiful than in former years. Mr. and Mrs. George Burton were also noted among those taking in the sight. The street thinks that the introduction into commerce of Saintpaulia ionantha, the African violet, is another sign of the astuteness of William K. Harris. George Field, of Washington, D. C, has been sending choice blooms of Vanda ca?rulea to the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. Philadelphians were much pleased that John Burton was one of the judges at the Chicago show. Samuel S. Pennock is the latest addi- tion to the life membership of the Amer- ican Eose Society. The Century Flower Shop has made a decided improvement in its place by add- ing a very attractive conservatory. Henry A. Dreer is very busy with cat- alogue work, in order to get the cata- logues out at the right time. One of the firm of H. Weber & Sons, of Oakland, Md., was in town, and while here took in the Penn-Michigan football game.

The Highland Eose Co., of Morton, is sending some fine valley to the Philadel- phia Cut Flower Co. The decorators report a number of weddings last week and have kept the force busy. Pennock Bros, had an attractive win- dow of pompon chrysanthemums, bronze and yellow. It was much admired. J. J. Habermehl's Sons made good use of choice stock last week in their deco- rations. A visit to the Chestnut Hill Beauty growers shows that the stock is in a promising condition, but they are hop- ing for cooler weather to harden the stock for flowering in January and Feb- ruary. John Burton has some of the finest cypripedium plants in the country, some having as many as forty blooms to the plant. J. Stern & Co. are now established in their new quarters and report a bright business outlook. Phil. NEV YORK. The Market. The "good time coming" so long seems to have at last materialized. Last week closed most encouragingly, with values rising and no apparent fear of any further depression. I predict a steady market, gradually and naturally increasing in buoyancy and volume until Thanksgiving. There still are plenty of mums, but a large proportion of them are of good quality and command good prices. The common stock of chrysanthemums has de- creased in quantity and is no longer a menace. Some grand Enguehard, Chad- wick, Bonnaffon and Duckham have com- manded $4 to $5 a dozen and a large shipment to John Young, of Gold Mine, from the establishments of John & Rob- ert Leach on Saturday evening was com- pletely sold out at $6 a dozen. I have not seen a finer or more uniform ship- ment this season. Every flower was per- fect. All the wholesale houses have been crowded and are yet with grand stock. No year has ever equaled this in quan- tity and quality, and the end is not yet. We Can and Will Take care of your Thanksgiving Cut Flower Needs Subject to change THANKSGIVING PRICES withont notice.

There will be enough and to spare until after Thanksgiving, and some of the wholesalers announce assured receipts right up to Christmas. Beauties made a move in the right direction as the week closed, some spe- cials touching $40 per hundred, and all grades advancing. Brides and Maids are abundant, and there was but a slight in- crease in quotations. Carnations improve in stem and size, and prices are somewhat better, espe- cially for the fancies and novelties. Of the latter there are now so many that it is hard to name a favorite. For the fancy grade of valley $4 per hundred is top, and little stock arriving is worth it; $5 quotations are fictitious; $2 to $3 is the regular rate. Orchids are in constant demand, and all that reach the New York market find ready buyers locally or are shipped to other cities. McManus's November bul- letin expresses clearly the situation. Cyps again are on deck and many are handling them. At last the modest and humiliated vio- let has its second wind or its second crop. At any rate, in beauty, perfume and price "the melancholy days" are over. One dollar to $1.25 was easy Sat- urday and some fine specials commanded $1.50. Here and there the tide swept even a little higher. It was claimed, though, $1.50 will do for top until Thanksgiving. The supply was insuflB- cient. Variottt Notes.

Weddings are many and every retailer seems to get his share of them. The wild smilax is the ground- work of every decoration. Its popularity grows with each succeeding year, ivic- Connell had an elaborate affair at Har- rison, N. Y., last week, the . Stursberg- Downey wedding. Fifty enormous palms were used. The mansion of the bride was a bower of Beauties, with a profu- sion of specimen pink, white and yellow mums. Killarney, too, was a feature, and unique effects were many. Every- thing now in decoration tends to the unique and original in artistic results, and more and more intellectual designing and effect win practical appreciation. In other words, the man who demonstrates braininess is the man who wins a per- manent place and gratifying remunera- tion. This is horse show week here, and Chi- cago knows what that means to the flor- ist, though in the east its influence seems to have gone backward. It may be bet- ter this season. The weather of the week opens with a rain after days of sun- shine and almost summer temperature. It is rapidly growing colder. Some extra fine narcissi and cypripe- diums are being shipped to J. K. Allen. It is hard to realize that in less than five weeks Christmas will be here. Won- derful novelties there are with the sup- ply men this season. Some of them must be seen to be appreciated, and no time should be lost in laying in the stock in advance of the rush that will soon materialize. At the norse show orchids will doubt- less this year be the thing, though the scarcity of violets may, by their very in- crease in value, turn the society eyes towards its old-time favorite. Of course the Doutonnieres will oe gardenias. Both cities are now teaching the mul- titudes an object lesson in the annual mum shows in New York and Brooklyn park conservatories. Great crowds have been in evidence. The suburban florists, too, have splendid exhibitions of their own. All are free and the general inter- est has been encouraging. But it will take an expert prophet to foretell >when New York will have a flower show equal to Chicago 's wonder of last week, though don't forget it. New York can do it when it gets "good and ready." It is an inspiration to walk from Twenty-third street to Seventy-second on Broadway, Fifth, Sixth and Madison avenues and see the wonderfully beauti- ful effects in every florists' window. Space forbids specification. Where any ability or artistic sense prevails the array is most seductive. In fact, the public shows its appreciation in the crowds that surround these dreams in color and arrangement. The evergyeening of the city con- tinues. Bays, box and ivy make all the great hotels attractive in their ap- proaches, outdoor balconies and halls. Never has such universal use been made of the nurseryman's supply. Local growers and enterprising importers in the wholesale district all profit by this addition to public demand and its uni- versality demonstrates the influence of persistent effort. Slowly but surely the nurseiymen have taught the possibility 26 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ NOYBMBEB 22, 1906. ROSES are improving every day and we are now getting in a fine lot of Kaiserins, Brides^ Bridesmaids and Chatenays. The Rich- mond are a little short in stem, but the flowers are fine.

We had a special ±lorists' Club meet- ing on Thursday, November 15, in order to have a chance to examine some of the late mums that were in their glory at that time. George Bayer brought a few flowers of Appleton, Wanamaker and Bonnaffon, all as fine as can be found anywhere. G. N. Keller, of the Bay Shore, brought in a few old-fashioned va- rieties, among them Beau Ideal, an old- timer of twenty years ago, but still able to hold up its head in good company. He also showed some Dr. Enguehard which were nice, but not fully developed. Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian, sent a lot with the statement that they were the best he could do at this late date, but thought we might be interested in them commercially. Among them were Mar- tha Lesseur, fine; Mary Mann, rose pink, built up high; President Roosevelt, pink; an incurved Japanese, pink seedling; Dakoma, largest size; light pink seedling in the way of Viviand-Morel, and a few other seedlings, all fine.

"Watermelon is giving concern to some of the mail order houses with large southern trade. The canners still are looking for their favorite varieties of peas and prices continue strong on the packers' sorts. There is a disposition to book con- tract orders early for 1907, with slightly increased prices asked by the growers. The importations of German agricul- tural seeds, especially sugar beet, are starting in heavier than in previous years. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has issued Circular No. 80, dealing with the melon aphis, which will be of inter- est to seedsmen. The call for the forcing varieties of lettuce, cucumber and radish continues to increase from year lo year in spite of the competition of the southern truck- ing localities. Eennie & Pino, Providence, E. I., have dissolved partnership, W. S. Pino to continue the business. Alexander Rennie will shortly open a modern retail seed store on Washington street, Provi- dence. The Western Seed & Irrigation Co., Fremont, Neb., had about half its force of pickers on by November 15 and soon will have the full force employed. Man- ager Emerson says the crops of melon and cucumber are short, but other crops are full. Prom present indications those who have not placed orders for bouquet green are likely to have trouble in procuring a supply, as the large handlers are refus- ing to take further orders, fearing that the quantity of green in sight will not be sufficient to fill early bookings in full. Rogers Bros., of Chaumont, Jefferson county, New York, the last few years gradually have been transferring their business of seed growing to Alpena, Mich., growing their stock of peas in northern Michigan and their beans in central Michigan and western New York. They recently have sold their seed house at Chaumont to a milling company that handles feed, flour, hay and farm prod- uce. The Jefferson county section was once a favorable location for growing peas and beans, but the bugs become so LEONARD Leading SEED *o'SS.^' >jo™» CO.

Upon the return of the enclosed receipt, duly signed by you, I will for- ward you your check forthwith. "The collection of the assets of the estate and the adjustment of the obliga- tions against it, have consumed more of my time and attention than I antici- pated, although the result is gratifying, inasmuch as it has resulted in a larger dividend to the creditors than I antici- pated would be paid them. There are still two notes due the estate for $1,750 each, maturing the first days of January and July, 1907, and I shall use every means to collect the same. If I succeed, there will be a further dividend to the creditors of about ten to twelve per cent. ' ' Wm. P.

In crop reports radish stocks are still further discounted, and an alarming scarcity in this article may be expected. The general French crops of other lines are turning out after harvesting and dressing about as estimated. I think by appearances no further shortage than already reported may be expected. I recently inspected a consignment of garden peas from Australia.

The work of saving the seed comes in after the cucumbers have turned yellow. They are left in the field and then pulled from the vine by boys and girls, who go into the field with a sort of spoon-shaped trowel and cut open the cucumbers and scoop out the seeds into sacks. The sacks are dragged until they are too heavy, then tied securely. The seed is hauled to the house and poured into large tanks filled with soap and soft water. The mixture cuts the slimy pulp from the seeds, leaving them pure and white. The seeds are dried in kilns in shallow baskets and then sorted and packed. "The farmers who have been doing this exclusive class of farming say it is profitable, and they have become expert in the growing of this particular seed." I .— ['ROCHESTER, N.Y. The Market. Business here is practically at a stand- still and stock of all kinds is a glut on the market, mostly due to the presence of chrysanthemums in large numbers of all grades. Prices have kept up fairly well, with the exception of roses, which have proved hardest to move, prices rang- ing from $1 to $5 per hundred; carna- tions, $2 to $3; mums, $5 to $15, but in all cases hard to move. One of the large department stores held a sale of roses, etc., which helped the market greatly and from all ac- counts did the legitimate business no harm, as it was thomght it would by many of the trade. Eeferring to notes and illustrations in your last issue, page 1739, concerning Irondequoit muskmelon, this variety was put on the market by James Vick 's Sons, Rochester, N. Y., and was named after the market garden section just outside the limits of the city. Since its intro- duction it has been grown almost to the exclusion of all others, maintaining the best points of parent type, and, while in season, Irondequoit holds the market against all other muskmelons. In form the fruit is nearly round and slightly flattened at the ends. It attains a me- dium size, has finely netted skin, yellow when ready for market, dark orange- colored flesh, and rich, spicy flavor. The demand has never been satisfied. The bulb trade is almost over, the dealers report a profitable season and stock is practically cleaned up. Chinese lilies for once are a scarce article. John House is propagating heavily on geraniums, and, from the appearance of the stock at present, will have some ex- cellent plants for spring trade.

TROUBLE WITH LETTUCE. I am having trouble with my lettuce. I have two houses 24x108. There are two side benches with six inches of soil and one center bed on the ground ten inches deep. The trouble begins when the lettuce commences to spread, then the Jower leaves get rusty and yellow and the plant forms a hard center. The temperature is from 45 to 50 degrees at night and 55 degrees during the day, sometimes reaching 75 degrees. I use lots of manure and cultivate often. I use the Grand Eapids variety of lettuce. Would it be wise to use nitrate of soda, and if so what is the best way to use it? Also, will a ten horse-power boiler heat a house 24x108 and a house 12x901 I have 1,700 feet of lV2-inch pipe installed and two 2-inch fio^s using steam. c. r. B.

At the monthly meeting of the New Orleans Horticultural Society there also •was an informal chrysanthemum show. Several members brought fine flowers for inspection, but the ones which attracted the first attention had been sent by the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. They were perfect in size and finish, George Beach, Lord Salisbury, Amateur Consiel, Lucy Evans and May Seddon being among the best. J. A. Newsham fol- lowed closely in quality with Convention Hall, J. C. Neville and others. Abele Bros, had Dr. Enguehard, General Hut- ton and S. T. Wright. Cook's Sons brought Pullman, Eaton and E. E. Eich- ardson. B. M, Wichers had some good ones. H. Papworth had a fine display of American Beauty and Golden Gate roses. With such a showing of mums it was an easy matter to decide about a flower show for next fall, and a motion by Mr. Lockerbie for that purpose was unanimously carried. Letters from Mr. Newel and others were received accepting the invitation to deliver lectures on insects and parasites, and a committee was appointed to de- vise location and time for same. P. A. Chopin, C. E. Panter and C. W. Eichling were appointed a committee to revise the by-laws of the society. The society has been in existence many years and the membership is increasing. J. A. Newsham introduced to the mem- bers J. Guyot, a practical collector of orchids. This gentleman, who has been working as a florist in different parts of Europe and the United States, is going in a few days to Colombia, being sent by J. A. Newsham to collect orchids, which will be shipped to New Orleans as fast as possible. Mr. Newsham intends to go into the business as a specialty. His long experience in the business, hav- ing collected orchids himself in South America and being in charge some years ago of the rare and large collection of the late Onorato, is assurance of success. It seems that the taste for and need of orchid flowers is increasing and no doubt such an enterprise in New Orleans is starting under the best auspices. Various Notes. The horticultural inspectors met at a convention in Baton Eouge on Novem- ber 15. The following officers were elect- ed for the coming year : President, A. P. Burgess, of Ohio; secretary, J. B. Smith, of New Jersey. J. Steckler Seed Co., Ltd., is moving to its new and spacious building, 512 to 516 Gravier street. The store is large and offers more accommodations to their increasing business. M. M. L. WAYSIDE NOTES. William Mathews, of Utica, N. Y., has a fine showing of cattleyas. Among them are the rare C. labiata vera., C. gigaa and C. Harrisoniae, the latter a lovely flower, porcelain white, shaded with deep pink. I counted eight flowers on one spike. I also saw a fine specimen of C. Dowiana with Mr. Ballantyne, gardener to Mrs. Thompson at Canandaigua, and C. Bow- ringeana at Mrs. ElimbalPs, Eochester, where Colin Ogston has charge. Frank Baker, who reports a big run on ferns, says he never sold out so clean as tluB season. J. B.

Everybody is happy, and it seems florists are the only people I know who are pleased to go hungry. Social func- tions of all kinds calling for decorations liave made things lively, and the retail business along all lines looks encourag- ing, as many orders are booked ahead and a good season is predicted by all. In the wholesale houses chrysanthemums have been more plentiful than ever be- fore and prices have not been satisfac- tory, but it is hoped that the worst is over. Koses of all kinds are very plenti- ful and especially good. Carnations also are more plentiful and violets are the only things which seem scarce. Various Notes. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has been making shipments of boxwood to Canada and Denver. This green seems to be more appreciated each year. J. B. Murdoch & Co. have closed their Squirrel Hill greenhouses and are taking them down. The property is too val- uable to use for greenhouse purposes. W. Q, Potter, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., is laid up with pneumonia as a result of exposure while moving their store. Among the visitors are the Misses Forbes and Donahey, of "Wheeling, W. Va.; Daniel E. Gorman, of Williamsport, Pa.; J. H. Orth, of McKeesport, and Geo. L. Huscroft, of Steubenville, stopped on his way to New York. Hoo-Hoo. Camden, N. J. — Wm. S. MauU, re- ceiver for L. K. Peacock, Inc., having disposed of the assets, has filed his final report in chancery, and on November 26 will ask an order for final distribution of the assets after meeting legal ex- penses. "What happens in such a case is well illustrated by the fact that the re- ceiver asks $1,000 as compensation, $1,000 as attorney's fees, and $100 as complainant's counsel fee. 46 The Weekly Florists^ Review* NOVGMBEB 22, 1906. NURSERY NEWS. AHEBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBTMEN. Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Vlce- Pres., J. W. Hill, Dee Moines, la.; Sec'y, Geo. C. Seacrer, Rochester; Treas. C. L. Yates, Rochester. The 32d annual convention will be held at De- troit, Mich., June, 1907. Peyton & Barnes, Boonville, Mo., will go heavily into the growing of nursery stock for wholesale. Ilgenfritz & Sons Co., Monroe, Mich., reports this the busiest fall sea- son the company has had. The Illinois State Horticultural Soci- ety will hold its fifty-first annual meeting at Champaign December 12 to 14. One of the storage buildings at the C. L. Watrous nursery, Des Moines, la., burned November 16. The loss is $3,000. The Clinton Falls Nursery Co., Owa- tonna, Minn., is putting in a new side track connection with the Northwestern railroad. If diggers of nursery stock trusted more to the spade and less to the strength of the arms the laborer might be more worthy of his hire. The Phoenix Nursery Co., Blooming- ton, 111., has just acquired sixteen acres adjoining its property in Normal which will be used to increase its output. The Northern Illinois Horticultural Society will meet at Joliet December 4 and 5. L. E. Bryant, H. M. Dunlop and other nurserymen have places on the pro- gram. J. A. Young, of the Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, 111., has completed the plant- ing of the De Kalb county courthouse grounds at Sycamore, 111. Trees and shrubs to the number of 1,400 were put in. John Watson, former secretary of the Pioneer Nursery Co., Salt Lake City, Utah, who has been located at Newark, N. Y., is charged with irregularities in the books, which the president of the company has asked that he return and set right. A PARTY of twenty-five nurserymen from all parts of the south, members of the National Nut Growers' Association, visited Ocean Springs November 4 to inspect the various pecan nurseries in the vicinity. They were entertained at lunch- eon by a delegation of citizens. It is said that when the nurseries in Tennessee notified their customers of fall shipments they created a famine in postal cards and penny stamps at Smithville, McMinnville, Liberty, Alexandria and Watertown that was reflected in hurry calls on Washington for supplies. TREE SEEDS IN GERMANY. Conrad Appel, of Darmstadt, Germany, reports as follows: The home-grown de- ciduous tree seeds were this year har- vested mostly under favorable conditions. Both Acer platanoides and Acer pseudo- platanus are sufficiently grown for the small wants in that article, and obtain- able in good quality. Betula alba is very different in quality and for light- colored seeds we have a heavy demand, so that we shall probably see higher prices when the seedsmen are covering their wants. Carpinus betulus gave a satisfactory result, both with regard to quantity and quality, while Fraxinus excelsior had a perfect failure this year, and wintered seed, which is still obtainable in good quality, must make up for it. Fagus sylvatica promised at first a poor result only, and according to the in- formation I lately received, the crop will be a failure. Quercus pedunculata and Quercus rub- ra are a medium crop in some centers of production and qualities seem to be satis- factory according to the first arrivals. Quercus rubra brings also a good harvest, and fine qualities. Tilia grandiflora and T. parvifolia are not yet harvested, but my collectors an- nounce a fair average crop, and samples I have seen show a satisfactory quality. From the evergreen tree seeds which are already harvested, Abies pectinata, gave a perfect failure. Pinus strobus had a short crop in Germany, while the other centers of production announce that new seeds are nearly not obtainable. The crop of the other evergreens, as Larix EuropaBa, Picea excelsa and Pinus sylves- tris, begins next month and seem to be satisfactory. EMBELLISHMENT OF WAYSIDES. Avoid Crowdins;. For sanitary and hygienic reasons, streets ought not to be too much shaded. The sun should be permitted to shine on the walks, and on the walls of the houses, in turn, as the earth moves in its course. Glimpses of light and shadow, too, have an esthetic value, which is worth consid- ering. Sixty-five feet apart is the minimum distance, I think, at which street trees should be planted. For large-growing trees, as the elm or soft maple, seventy- five feet or one hundred feet apart would be none too much space to allow. Wayside or highway trees need not be set with the same precision as street trees. An irregular planting, conform- ing, in general, to the surrounding scen- ery, would be in better harmony. In places, an accentuation of existing groups of trees may be 'all that is neces- sary, or simply a thinning out of over- crowding trees, or of poor trees which are damaging more valuable ones; for let it be an axiom with the tree planter,, who is planting for ornamental effect, never to permit the growth of one tree to injure that of another. An important matter also in the care of trees is the pruning of all broken or diseased limbs or branches, by cutting the limbs off closely at the bole of the tree, leaving no stumps projecting, which the bark cannot grow over, to carry rot into the tree. Cut off smooth, and paint over the wound with coal tar. If tne soil is good, no preparation for planting is necessary, other than loosen- ing up the ground for each tree for a space of from seven to ten feet in diam- eter, and from two to three feet in depth. When the soil is poor, not less than te» yards of good soil should be substituted for an equal amount of poor soil exca- BOXWOOD, By The Carload 2X-it. Bushes, 75c each; B^-tt, Pyramids, $6 00 each.

If planting is worth doing at all, it is VForth doing well, for on this depends the well-being of the tree. It is safe to say, if you have $20 to spend on planting a tree, let $19.50 of the amount be spent on the preparation of the ground to re- ceive it. It should be borne in mind that the same conditions which will pro- duce a good hill of corn, will grow trees well, and nothing else will serve. Planting Groups or Masses. In the planting of groups or masses of trees for ornamental or woodland effect, the soil should be plowed and sub-soil plowed several times. The trees should be planted thickly, always remembering the old gardener's motto: "Plant thickly, but thin quickly." More trees are ruined from crowding than from any other cause. The plantation should be treated precisely as a good farmer would treat a crop of corn. Give clean culti- vation. Thick planting gives the ad- vantage of shelter — each tree protects tBe other — and the further advantage of a greater number of trees from which to select the permanent ones. It also gives the effect of foliage mass the quicker. These notes are written in the hope that they help to intensify the interest now manifested in the planting and pro- tection of public trees. The subject is of such importance as to merit the earnest attention of all. The insect question I have not touched upon.

Department of Agri- culture station here, has gone to Wash- ington for a conference with his chiefs. The anti-Japanese sentiment on the Pacific coast, for a long time strong among growers, has gained such strength in other lines that it has attracted inter- national attention. The feeling against the Japanese appears to be not at all understood in other sections of the United States. SAN FRANOSGO. The Market Business still continues fair, with a reasonable demand for all classes of stock. The weather is dry and warm, and a heavy rain is needed to give the proper impetus to trade. The retailers are depending to a large extent on the chrysanthemum crop, and as this is hardly up to the standard of former years the effects, judging from the win- dow displays, do not flatter the growers much. Some fine indoor stock is shown from the Burlingame growers, which costs the retailers from $2 to $3 per dozen. With roses there is still a scarc- ity of fancy stock, but plenty of ordi- nary quality is in evidence. Brides and Maids net the growers from $1.50 to $2.50 per hundred, with about twice that figure for long-stemmed stock. Beauties wholesale at from $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Carnations are in abundant supply, with a great percentage of short stock. The weather has been favorable for several weeks, with plenty of sunshine and warm nights. The prices have not changed for the last month, and from present pros- pects there will be an abundant supply for Thanksgiving at reasonable figures. Other kinds of stock are only in light supply, with the exception of violets, and they are daily becoming more plentiful. Valley is also easier and of splendid quality. A few Paper White narcissi have arrived, also Koman hyacinths. Green stuff is scarcer and the demand for everything in that line is good. Various Notes. T. W. Hunter, of the Germain Seed Co., Los Angeles, is in town for a few days. H. M. Sanborn, of Oakland, has changed the entire front of his Four- teenth street store and now has one of the most attractive stores on the coast. The California State Floral Society held its regular monthly meeting at Henry P. Tricon 's home, 852 Grove street, on November 10. A good attend- ance listened to a paper by Mrs. A. E. Gunnison, on "The Floriculture of San Francisco, Past and Present." She gave much interesting history from pio- neer days down to the present time, and proved herself thoroughly conversant with the topic. Quite a showing was made of outdoor-grown roses, chrysan- themums and other hardy stock. Mrs. Sachan, of San Leandro, showed a nice lot of early-flowering narcissi. The res- ignation of President F. A. Miller was reluctantly accepted. Mr. Miller has been with the society from its com- mencement, and has probably done more than any other member to foster the or- ganization, especially in its earlier years.

CARNATIONS OUTDOORS. The carnation as a garden flower is not as popular at the present time as it should be and is not given the place it deserves or has held until the last few years. The fact that it has become so well known as a greenhouse flower and so plentiful everywhere in the shops has put a ban on the humbler garden- grown variety. Still the carnation is one of our most satisfactory garden flowers and we have yet to find anything so prolific in blooms and at the same time so easy of cultivation. The carna- tion with us flowers practically all the year around. In summer the plants are, if they are partially shaded and plenty of moisture applied, better than those from the greenhouses. The best results are always obtained from young plants. They should be planted early in the spring in a well- drained situation, partially shaded if possible and in soil that is not too heavy. This latter condition is just the oppo- site from that demanded by roses to get the best results. I have, however, had fair results from some varieties of car- nations planted in black, heavy ground, but they are not long-lived usually. Much more satisfaction will be had from them if the soil is of a lighter nature. They do not root deeply and for that reason should be given plenty of material to feed on. Work in a good quantity of well-rotted manure about twice during the season. Keep the ground and the plants well watered, and good results will follow. They should be planted in beds by themselves and not mixed up with other shrubbery. Keep well staked and, as I stated before, give a partial shade if possible. The plants will grow well enough in the sun, but it is impos- SHASTA DAISY Alaska, California and Westralla. extra strong field dlvlBlons, from divisions of Mr. Burbank's original stock, t2.60 per 100; $22.50 per 1000.

The white, scarlet and variegated do not burn so easily, however, and do well even in the hottest weather. On account of the fondness of the gopher for this class of plants, many people have ceased to attempt to culti- vate them. And as gophers are our most popular pests, they have to be reckoned with. I have seen these chaps fooled by planting the carnations in well-perforat- ed oil cans, or in small baskets made of wire netting, but gophers can be gotten rid of by the use of strychnine and car- rot and a little patience in a short time. Thrip is occasionally very annoying to outdoor carnations. Some years we do not see much of it, but it is always more or less prevalent in the summer. With the use of plenty of water in the plants it can easily be kept in check. I have had little diflSculty in cutting quantities of good substantial flowers throughout the summer when much of the inside stock was below the standard. G. APPLES IN THE NORTHVEST. Three hundred carloads of apples were sent out by the growers in the Grande Konde valley in northeastern Oregon, south of Spokane this season. There are 2,000 acres of orchards in the valley but many of these are under three years. More orchards will be made this winter and next spring. The Grande Eonde valley is a peculiar- ly favored locality for apple growing. Hood river is another, and so are Wen- atchee and the Yakima valley in Wash- NOVBMBEB 22, 1906. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 49 ington. There never has been a crop fail- ure in the valley, but those who planted the orchards generally made two expensive errors: They planted too many trees to the acre, and selected too wide a diversity of varieties. However, the latter mistake has resulted in clearly demonstrating the varieties certain to yield the greatest profit, and the new orchards are being limited to apples that experience has proven will bring the biggest returns. These are the Gano, the Kome Beauty and the York 'Imperial. While the rainfall in the Grande Eonde valley averages only about ninteen inches a year, it is ample for the needs of winter apple trees, and few of the orchards are irrigated. Irrigation tends to bunch the roots of the tree near the surface of the ground, for the simple reason the roots do not have to go deep into the soil for moisture. As a result irrigated trees lack the sturdiness necessary to resist heavy winds, and are apt to at least lean no- ticeably. The trees in the non-irrigated orchards of the Grande Eonde valley stand erect, and their symmetry is com- mented upon by all visiting fruit grow- ers. Water is found almost anywhere in the valley, at a depth from nine to twelve feet, so that the roots speedily grow deep into damp soil. The Grande Eonde apples first came into notice at the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893. AUSTIN, TEX. Current 0>mment. The season at Austin, Texas, has been remarkable. Up to this date we have had no frost and during October less than an inch of rain, with the result that only those who could irrigate have anything growing outside their greenhouses. The dry season has produced a large cotton crop and exceptionally good opportunity to gather it. Cotton is now green and blooming, and looks far too beautiful for a mere commercial crop. The new Austin Floral Co. has opened its business in a large plate-glass-fronted store, near Eighth street on Congress ave- nue. The firm is composed of A. J. Seiders, O. Olsson and Eobert Lawson. All are practical florists and popular men. The Hyde Park Floral Co. has done a splendid business all summer, getting most of its flowers from F. T. Eamsey 's flower farm, which he cultivates largely for pleasure in connection with his nur- sery. He irrigates from surface wells, and maintains a driveway the entire length of the garden and experimental grounds, that the public may enjoy their beauty. The State University has built an addi- tion to its greenhouse, 16x30 feet, and has installed a hot water heating plant. - 'r^e greenhouse plant of Charles Alf & Co., in the eastern part of the city, has been enlarged by two new houses this summer. Mums and carnations are just arriving, the weather until recently having been too warm. . H. B. The Ekview will send Saltford's Vio- let Book on receipt of 25 cents. Aberdeen, S. D.— C. A.

The bright weather of the last week has succeeded in forcing in a lot of mums, some of the late varieties being from ten days to two weeks ahead of time. Consequently a glut has been ex- perienced. The Tomlinson flower mar- ket presented a brignt appearance Sat- urday morning, there being thousands of blooms exhibited, from the largest to the smallest and in all colors. Eain falling early in the afternoon and getting heav- ier towards night spoiled all chance of a good market day. Carnations are com- ing in greater quantity and quality im- proving every day. The same can also be said of roses. Wiegand & Sons have an effective win- dow decoration, one of the prettiest they have ever put up. Bertermann Bros, report a large at- tendance at their opening last week, and they certainly deserved it, as they ex- hibited a lot of fine flowers and plants. Homer "Wiegand spent a few days in Posey county among the quail and rab- bits. He is one of the champion wing shots among the florists here. Visitors this week were: William Walker, of Louisville, Ky. ; Mr. Elver- son, of Pittsburg, and S. M. Harbison, of Danville, Ky. S. BALTIMORE. The Market The flower show last week brought out thousands of visitors and these helped the retailers dispose of surplus stock. There is plenty of design work, as there have been a number of weddings and banquets. Eoses are not as plentiful, while carnations are arriving in large quantities. Violets are still scarce. A great many artificial designs are being made up for the holidays, but there is not much holly to be had. There was a glut of chrysanthemums in the market Saturday. Various Notes. P. B. Welch had the sale of the flow- ers at the show and did fairly well. Halliday Bros, made a fine showing of decorative plants at the exhibit. N.

The Market There is little change in the condition of business over that of a week ago. We have passed the stage of worship for the queen of autumn; the question now is to dispose of her at a reasonable price. The best quality of blooms is now arriving and inferior stock is going slow. Koses and carnations are showing great im- provement in quality, and indications points to a good supply of both for Thanksgiving. A leading retail dealer says we are getting all the New York violets we need. That seems to be the situation all around, and it may be added that they are good enough for anybody and retail readily at $2 per hundred. Various Notes. W. F. Gude, Peter Bisset and Otto Bauer acted as judges at the Baltimore show last week. J. H. Small, Jr., was recently re- elected as a director of the Washington Board of Trade by a flattering vote. Every one of Mr. Small's days is a busy one, as, in addition to the management of an extensive retail trade, his other business arid fraternal duties make ever- increasing demands on his time. President Bisset, of the Florists ' Club, says that matters are progressing finely in regard to arrangements for the rose show to be held in this city in March, 1907. President Bisset says he is sure we will have a good show. ' Will Arnold, now of the George Eein- berg establishment, Chicago, made the trip to this city and Alexandria, Va., to testify in the suit of J. Louis Loose against the Southern railroad. Mr. Ar- nold was formerly rose-grower at the Loose range. A. F. HILLSBORO, OHIO. Three years ago Simon J. Hider start- ed in business in a house 9x10. The sec- ond year he began to read the Review and kept on the safe side of the credit column. Today he has one house 11x30, one 20x30 and one 10x20, all up-to-date, full of first-class stock, heated by steam and lighted by electricity. He is prac- tically free from debt, and if everything comes out as he expects by the begin- ning of 1907 he will be clear. He says he owes his success to the Review and to the firms with whom he has dealt. He expects to build a house in the spring for carnations only.

CINaNNATL The Market Business last week was good. The sea- son is scarcely up to last year, but the reason is easily explained, for, as one retailer said, last year there were from fifty to seventy-five large entertainments for debutantes, while this year the num- ber has scarcely reached twenty-five. Mums still are being received in large quantities, but the days of the oversup- ply are numbered and in a few days 1 expect to see the price raise to what it ought to be. I believe that the late de- mand will be good this year, and from present prospects the price will be satis- factory. Roses are in oversupply, and with the single exception of American Beauties the price has dropped. Some fine stock of all varieties are to be had, but until the mum is on the wane they will not bring the price they ought to. Carnations are none too plentiful and sell well. Violets are also scarce and in demand. Narcissus is beginning to come and sells fairly well. This market is now well supplied with greens. Variotit Notes. Mrs. Lenora Gillett, mother of E. G. Gillett, died at the residence of the latter in this city Sunday, November 18. The funeral took place Tuesday at Spring- field, O. Mrs. Gillett was almost 60 years old and died virtually of old age. L. H. Kyrk spent several days in In- dianapolis, Ind., during the last week. Mrs. George Murphy is seriously ill with typhoid fever. George Murphy is just able to be about after a siege of the same disease. C. J. Ohmer. ERIE, PA. All of the Erie florists say that busi- ness was poor last week. There was not much call for roses or carnations. Cheap mums go best, but large, high-priced ones sell slowly. L. A. Spoden has rented Mrs. Nei- meyer's place for five years more and is building a new cottage on the premises. The Schluraff Floral Co. is talking of moving its greenhouses to the western part of the city. r. M. Feasler has built two more houses for vegetables. Zuck Bros, have built two houses for lettuce and early vegetables. W. H. Milwaukee is to have a new park, located in the Fifth ward. The site was selected at a mass-meeting of residents of the ward and cost $50,000. Beatrice, Neb. — The Dole Floral Co. is marketing its celery. The crop is fine, and the supply less than the de- mand. WISSEL & COX, BREEDERS AND GROWERS OF GOLD FISH. Mt. Airy, ■ - Ohio. Nephrolepis WHITMANI Young plants from bench. $6.00 per 100.

The Market The market last week was deluged with chrysanthemums, and the demand was not any too brisk. As they are coming in in such large numbers, prices are not as good as what we expected to get. Eoses are off crop with some of the lead- ing growers, although the demand has not been very heavy. Trade seems to' run almost entirely to chrysanthemums. Carnations are much better. Enchan- tress is the best variety on the market, although only being cut in small num- bers. Violets are scarce; some of the growers who had excellent success with them last year are cutting but few. In consequence, eastern violets are being used more extensively than heretofore. Chrysanthemum plants do not seem to sell. Minneapolis. Saturday maroon and yellow chrysan- themums sold well on account of the football game between Minnesota and Carlisle, maroon and gold being the Minnesota colors. Julius Bieck has his store in readiness to open some day this week. As he is situated on "Washington avenue North and is some distance from any other dealer he will no doubt be favored with a fair amount of trade. Carlson & bandberg are cutting some fine Brides and Maids. St PauL H. Krinke & Sons are somewhat disap- pointed with their carnations. They, however, have been cutting some fine pink mums, which have sold well. The Hill wedding took place Novem- ber 21, the decorations being divided be- tween two of our florists. Felix. MARLBOROUGH, N. Y. Velie Bros, have their plant in fine shape. They have two houses of violets containing 8,000 plants. They have also three houses of carnations containing 12,000 plants ot such varieties as En- chantress, Nelson Fisher, Mrs. Lawson, Bobert Craig, Cardinal, Bed Sport, Oc- toroon, White Perfection, Lady Bounti- ful, M. A. Patten and Queen. All are free of disease and are loaded with buds for the holidays. EvANSViLLE, Ind. — Thomas C. Buston, who is one of the county commissioners, enjoys the esteem and confidence of the public to a marked degree. His public duties receive the same careful attention that has made his private enterprises so successful. POINSETTIAS To close, 2^-in.. 14.00 per 100.

Our beautiful mums will soon be things of the past and then for many long months we will have only their lit- erature and memory to remind us of the gorgeous blossoms of the last two months. With plenty of benchroom our attention will be centered on the flower- ing plants that we expect to sell at Christmas, for that holiday, like Easter, has gradually been growing more of a plant event. How are your leading crops looking? Will they be just right for Christmas? Keep your pans and pots of poinsettias in a night temperature of 60 degrees. If not kept lower than that there should be no losing their foliage. Lack of heat is not the cause of loss of foliage so often as is exhaustion of the soil or too much water, which causes the roots to perish. Weak liquid manure occasion- ally may help to preserve the leaves, but if the roots, or the majority of them, are decayed, there is nothing to be done but resolve to do better next year. If you think you have not enough pans made up and should be lucky enough to have plants in 4-inch pots, don't attempt to put them in the pans now, for the slight disturbance of roots that will occur even with a careful trans- planting will bring off every leaf. Wait until they are ordered and then your customer will have the plant at least for a few days. About this time is pretty sure to ap- pear the dirty, greasy, mealy bug. It clusters among the nectar cups and at the base of the bracts. It is not only offensive to the sight, but if allowed to vegetate will impair the development of the bracts, which many people think are the flower. In most flowers the nectar cup is absent or very ouscure, but in the poinsettia it may be said that they are abnormal in development, and this ac- counts for the brilliant bracts to at- tract the insects to feed on the abun- dance of nectar. Last year we tried to kill the bugs with a spray of nicotine, a rather strong decoction, but these dirty creatures only considered it a free lunch. The only thing we know of to do, if this pest appears, is to take each plant and, while one man holds the plant, another directs a strong, sharp stream from the hose into the center of the head. Do this on the path of the greenhouse or the bugs may crawl back. Azaleas for Christmas. I advised some weeks ago that shortly after the arrival of your imported azaleas you should put into a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees a few varieties that wiU flower at Christmas. They are Deutsche Perle, Hexe, Simon Mardner and Vervaeneana. The first two are such excellent varieties to force that they may be slightly early. If showing color now, remove to a temperature of 55 degrees and no harm will be done. I again call your attention to that grand variety, Hexe. The habit of the plant, its bril- liant color, a dark red, and the ease with which it forces makes it one of our most valuable Christmas plants. Simon Mardner and Vervaeneana are not likely to be any too early. Early Lilies. The Bermuda lily is a very important flower to us from Christmas on, both for decorating and designs. It requires a strong heat. On a visit last year from Charles H. Eoney, of the Lake View Rose Gardens, Jamestown, N. Y., which was a week or two before Thanksgiving, he told me he would have 15,000 flowers ready for that important date. I re- marked, "You must have given them a high temperature." He replied, "Yes. Don 't be afraid of that. They will stand 90 degrees." We will have a few for Thanksgiving, but look for a good cut at the holidays. Just before the buds are visible is the time when the greenfly gets in its work. Do not wait to see these minute crea- tures, but syringe into the center of the rosette of leaves a weak solution of some tobacco extract. Instructions as to the strength come with them all. In apply- ing any of the insecticides is where the compressed air sprayer comes in useful. Keep your lilies going and rather in- crease than decrease the temperature. Cyclamen. The cyclamen has of late become a popular Christmas plant, and very worth- ily so, for there are few better house piants and in the better strains now on the market the foliage is as attractive as in many of our so-called ornamental- leaved plants. We have tested rather accurately the temperature that best suits the cyclamen when about to bloom. We found that at 50 degrees they were rather slow to flower, and at 60 degrees they drew up rather weak; then giving them 55 degrees with full light we found what we considered the ideal. The writer is not a believer in such fine distinctions in temperature, especially with different va- rieties of one species, like the carnation. Nevertheless, that was our experience with the cyclamen. As the pretty foli- age of the cyclamen is now a desirable attribute of the plant, they should be given plenty of space to develop, not only their attractive foliage, but also the symmetrical form of the plant, and, therefore, when you select plants for flowering at Christmas, for which the earliest flowers should now be showing color, it is worth while to put itese se- lected plants on inverted 6-inch pots. If tobacco stems are plentitul with you, spread two or three inches between the pots. It will keep down aphis and there will not be the necessity of that disagree- able duty of smoking. The average florist likes best to smoke out of a briarroot or meerschaum, as, when irri- gation is necessary in dry seasons, he thinks his own throat needs it worst. Other Christmas Stock. You know all about that most useful cheap plant, the sweet stevia, Stevia ser- rata. We never have enough to last over to New Year's. Don't cut it now for anyone and keep it down close to the freezing point. Have a good lot of Paper White and Soman hyacinths in for Christmas. If there is any money in these bulbs it is at that joyous time. If you brought in your Paper Whites three or four weeks ago, don't think they are going to be too early. Keep them cool and let every flower be de- veloped and then this inexpensive bulb is of great value to the florist. William Scott. PROPAGATING. In selecting wood for propagating pur- poses some growers advocate taking flow- ering stems in preference to blind wood, under the impression that this class of wood will produce a heavier cut of blooms of a higher grade. Having ex- perimented carefully along these lines tor some years I found so little differ- ence in the quantity and quality of cut that I am content to use good blind wood ^^ — trom near the top of the bush, where it has been exposed to the rays of the sun and where it could enjoy a free cir- culation of air. Using flowering wood is also rather an expensive experiment, as during the sea- son of propagation blooms command the best price and few of us care to curtail our cut during short days, when even the best of cuts produce fewer blooms than we wish. The wood should be put into water as soon as possible after being taken from the plant, not merely dipping the ends into the water, but immersing it deeply. The wood should not be allowed to stand too long in the water, as this will produce that weak condition 76 The Weekly Florists^ Review* NOTBMBBB 29, 1006. called * ' water heart, ' * fatal to the result we wish. The process of making the cutting and inserting it in the bench, while de- manding care and attention, is sim- plicity itself. The after care of the bench and house, being of the utmost importance in successfully raising the stock, will demand a greater amount of care and diligence. For ordinary purposes cuttings of tnree eyes make nice, thrifty plants; even cuttings of two eyes, if handled properly, make nice plants in a short time. Having all the cuttings of a uni- form size with the same number of eyes will tend to better success than if the sizes and quality are indiscriminate. Use a knife with a keen edge and make a short slice, as the cleaner the cut and the smaller the wound so much quicker will the callus form and the arrange- ment of the young rootlets will be more perfect. The cuttings should never be allowed to become dry from the time they are taken from the plant until root forma- tion has taken place, and during the process of making the cuttings frequent sprinkling is necessary in order to keep them in the best condition. The sand or other medium should be pounded mod- erately firm and should not exceed four inches in depth. As uniform conditions are more likely to exist half way between the surface and the bottom of the bench, the ends of the cuttings should reach to that depth and should have the material firmly pressed around tnem. The end of every cutting should reach the bottom of the cut made to receive them, as any cutting not so placed will take a longer time to root. The bench should then be thoroughly watered and, if exposed to bright sun- shine, should be lightly shaded with cheesecloth, removing the shading just as soon as the sun ceaaes to shine on the bench. The temperature of the material in the bench should be about 62 degrees and the house temperature at least 10 degrees lower, so that while root forma- tion is in progress the eyes may be dis- couraged from breaking and making wood. By carefully attending watering, shad- ing and temperatures, the cutting will be ready to pot in twenty-eight or thirty aays. Eibes. BABY RAMBLER ROSE. Have a lot of two-year dormant Baby Bambler roses just potted. A few of these are wanted in bloom just as soon as possible. How far ought they to be cut back? They are in cold houses to start, temperature 45 to 50 degrees. E. L. Your treatment of roses is all right. Start slowly in a cool house if just lifted from the field. Do not cut back the wood of these roses anything like as severely as you would a hybrid perpet- ual. In fact, only the unripe tops of the stronger growths need be cut back and then only back to the firm ripe wood. Any old wood that flowered last spring should be cut away entirely. W. S. MALFORMED BUDS. Can you tell us why our Bride and Maid buds come deformed! The center of the flower does not push out, although the outer petals are formed fairly well. The flowers were good up to three or four weeks ago; then came a short pe- riod of deformed flowers, say about three or four days, after which they came good for two weeks, then again a few poor cuts. The temperature in the houses had been as low as 56 degrees at night, with warm days. The soil is a heavy loam with one-quarter cow ma- nure. The plants look healthy, the foli- age being a dark green and leathery. The first cold nights had no fires and in the mornings plants would be wet. J. N. It is possible that the check received by these roses during the first cold spell may have something to do with the mal- formation of the buds, although it would be more likely to first show its effects on the foliage. Boses are more apt to act in this man- ner from overfeeding with material con- taining an excess of ammonia, such as using bone meal and lime in combina- tion, or any material that will release the ammonia in the manure or mulch more rapidly than the plants can use it. A temperature of 56 degrees, espe- cially with a small crack of air on, while it would retard the development of the blooms and so shorten the cut, would rather tend to improve the quality of the bud than otherwise, so the trouble cannot be attributed to that. Make an investigation as to the qual- ity of food supply, as I am convinced the cause originates there. Bibes. MILDEW. I am troubled with mildew on my roses. I have a house fifty feet long, with about 400 rose plants. The soil is sod plowed up in autumn and piled up until the following spring with one- quarter of cow manure. I have good drainage. The roses were planted in July. The temperature at night runs from 50 to 60 degrees without ventila- tion and it runs up to 80 or 90 degrees in the daytime when there is sunshine, with ventilators wide open. When night comes I close the ventilators and the tem- perature drops to 70 degrees. My house is a three-quarter-span, Lord & Burnham steel-frame construction, with ventilators on one side. The house is close to the river, which runs north and south, the house east and west. The house is 100 feet long, divided equally, the half for carnations being next the river. During a heavy fog I often dust the pipes with sulphur. "When it rains I close the ventilators. "My roses began to mildew in September. T. B. D. The trouble with these roses arises, neither from the quality of the soil, style of house nor its proximity to the river, but is caused solely and entirely by lack of ventilation at night. Time and again I have pointed out in these columns that this stagnant atmos- phere is the very condition suited for the germination of the spores of mildew, and so long as this condition prevails mildew will stay in the house, in spite of sul- phur or any other preventive. Keep the air in circulation by leaving on a crack of air whenever possible, even at the expense of a few more tons of coal, but close the ventilators if there is danger of rain getting in. Be care- ful to have the watering and syringing done early enough in the day to allow the foliage to become dry before sun- down. When giving ventilation during the morning be careful to raise the sashes a little at a time — never so much at once as to appreciably affect the tem- perature of the house, and reduce during the afternoon with the same care. As an aid in banishing this pest keep the pipes painted with the sulphur mix- ture and dust the foliage once a week with a mixture of lime and sulphur, one- third lime and two-tliirds sulphur. Ap- ply with the blower.

It hardly ever fails that where cut flower work is part of a flower show the' retailers' displays are among the most attractive features of the exhibition. The table decorations have a special fascina- tion for the public, but many are the re- tailers who have received orders for fu- neral pieces or a bride's bouquets with the comment, ' * Make one like that you had at the flower show." The retailers' displays are too frequently the only ar- tistic feature of an exhibition. At the Ontario horticultural exhibition at Toronto, floral designs always are given a leading place in the schedule. The accompanying illustrations are the three prize-winners at the show held early this month, and they will serve to demon- strate to florists that at Toronto they make as finished floral work as in any metropolitan community south of the Do- minion line. These were the work of J. S. Simmons and it is interesting to note that lily of the valley was largely used in each of his pieces. It is, of course, almost the only material at this season, unless orchids are used, for making bridal bouquets. It was necessarily good valley that Simmons used, but it will be noted that in his bridal bunch he employed scarcely any foliage, not nearly so much as would be used by the average maker- up. For his encircling green he used As- paragus plumosus. The shower consists of only a few ribbons, in which valley spikes are tied, as the effect would be too heavy if more were used combined with the lace scarf which is now So popular for tying all sorts of bouquets. As at other shows, the table decoration was the center of attraction. Cattleyas, dendrobiums and valley were used, with Asparagus plumosus for the green. The center-piece was in a large silver bowl, which was just a little high for the pur- pose. The prize design was a cushion on an ■.^jT-.-, November 29, 190G. The Weekly Florists' Review. 77 easel. This is simply a variation of the old-fashioned pillow, but as worked out by Mr. Simmons was decidedly unique and pleasing. The top of the pillow was made solid and then the pattern worked on it with cattleyas and valley. The illustration hardly does justice to the piece, as the harmony of color is not apparent and only a slight idea of the size and perfection of workmanship is conveyed. WINTER WINDOW-BOXES. The George Wittbold Co., Chicago, has worked up an excellent business in the filling of winter window-boxes. The now popular boxwood is the principal material used and many thousands have this fall been required to fill their orders. They go about getting the business by sending out a post-card to all the names on their long list of retail customers. The post- card shows an illustration prepared from a photograph. It is a picture of a win- dow in which there is a box filled with boxwood and other evergreens. The text on ifce card tells of the cheerfulness of winter greens in the window and quotes prices per foot on filling boxes already in place and also on new window- Doxes. As a rule they are from $1 to $1.50 per running foot for 8-inch or 10-inch boxes, the price varying, of course, according to the quantity and value of the material used. The boxwood will not survive the winter, in the Chicago climate, but it will carry its rich green foliage until spring and serve all the purposes for which it is required. EARNINGS OF SPRENGERL Would it be possible to earn 50 cents per square foot of bench by growing Asparagus Sprengeri sprays for the wholesale market? C. H. Haying experimented with Asparagus Sprengeri for several years, I concluded that the best way to grow it is in a hang- ing basket of about sixteen inches diame- ter. Planted in a very rich compost soil it will last for about two years. While the Sprengeri sprays grown in benches will average somewhat longer, yet they lack that graceful appearance of a basket-grown spray; besides a hanging basket will not take up any extra room. Looking over my records for the last three years I find the average price to be one and one-tenth cents per spray, so you will see that in order to make 50 cents per square foot it would require forty-five salable sprays, or that same amount to the square foot of bench room, which we have found impossible to do. The gross returns on a basket has averaged us 80 cents per year, or $1.60 during the life of the basket. Albert F. Amling. BEGONIA REX. Will you give me full instructions in regard to Rex begonias from the prepa- ration of the soil to put them in when first received from the wholesale florist until in 8-inch pots? What kind of fer- tilizers are suitable, how used and how often, also general information? L. A. This very ornamental foliage section of begonias was once in great demand as hothouse plants, and when first intro- duced, some fifty years ago, were worth their weight in gold. They were also valued by the commercial florist for Bridal Bouquet by J. S. Simmons, Toronto. many years, more so than today. If you have the right temperature they are as easily grown as a geranium. They are usually propagated in De- cember, from strong mature leaves or large plants, but not from leaves that are beginning to turn yellow with age. Some lay the whole leaf on the surface of the propagating bed, severing the mid- ribs every inch or two, from which little plants will spring. We think a better way is to cut a leaf into small sections. You can manage to cut each piece of leaf into a wedge-shape, but always let the base of the cutting terminate with a rather stout midrib. Insert these sec- tions of leaves in a trench in the sand as you do other cuttings, about one-third their depth in sand. The sand should be warm. Seventy degrees will do, and the house temperature can run up to 60 de- grees. I may as well say here that Begonia Rex at all times enjoys a high tempera- ture, with plenty of humidity. Although perhaps not necessary, we have often given a batch of these plants in 4-inch pots a daily syringing with the hose, and they grew very fast, for there was heat enough to dry up the moisture on their leaves. If in a cool house, say not over 55 degrees at night, then keep their foliage dry. Shift on as their roots will show you they need it. For compost, one-half should be a turfy yellow loam and the other half made up of decayed leaves and well rot- ted cow manure, or the remains of last spring's hotbed and some coarse sand. We have never considered these begonias at all particular about soil. There is no other point in their cultivation that we can think of. Do not expose them to bright sunshine. They are rather a shade- loving plant. We often see grand plants of these at horticultural exhibitions, and large specimens are generally grown in 8-inch to 12-inch pans. Up to an 8-inch pot plant you would not need any fer- tilizer. A light sprinkling of sheep ma- nure on the surface of the soil would help them if crowded with roots, but don 't overdo it, as it is powerful stuff. W. S.' 78 The Weekly Rorists' Review. November 29, 1906. TROUBLE WITH CROCKER. Please inform me as to the trouble with my Ethel Crocker. All the blooms look like those which I send you. They do not break good, and when they do break they are about half size. I have looked for thrips, but do not find any. The soil seems to agree with all the rest of the stock. The plants look fine. W. R Y. The blooms you sent were badly shriv- eled and I could not form any idea of what might be wrong with them. The bud was in good condition, but failed to disclose any trouble. Since your trouble is with E. Crocker, I will mention some of its peculiarities, and perhaps you will be able to get your information from them. Crocker is a warm-weather vari- ety. It will produce fine blooms in the fall and again a heavy crop of grand- blooms in the spring, unless it is han- dled especially with a winter crop in view. When handled the same as other varieties it is inclined to rest during mid- winter. In a cool temperature it will burst a large percentage of its blooms during the short days and many blooms will come streaked and off color. To grow Crocker well, you must give it 54 to 56 degrees at night and don 't feed it too liberally during the winter. We grew it successfully for a few years, but have discarded it on account of its peculiari- ties. A. F. J. B. CARNATION NOTES.-WEST. Propagation. Having decided to begin propagating your carnations and having overhauled and whitewashed the bench, filling in the sand is the next step. It is a good idea to screen all propagating sand before putting it in the bench. This is to make sure there is no trash of any kind or lumps of clay in it. The whitewash should be thoroughly dried before any sand is put on. Fill in to a depth of about three inches or a little over before it is packed down. When packed down it should be two and one-half inches deep. To pack it down some use a com- mon brick, which we consider clumsy. To make a good packer take a piece of planed plank 2x6x12 for the body and to make a handle take a piece of 2x4 eight inches long. Cut out a V-shaped piece from the middle of one side and cut oflF the corners from the opposite side. Then nail onto the body and you have a handle that you can hold tightly without cramp- ing your hand. The lines for inserting the cuttings are made with a common tableknife, and if you like you can use a stick to guide it straight. With a little practice you will be able to draw straight lines without the stick, but be sure you get your rows straight. It may save you much trouble some time. Anyway it is a good idea to form the habit of being neat and orderly about everything you do. It's a good habit. When inserting the cuttings always begin at the back of the bench and work towards you, and when one row is full draw another line to the right of it and one and one-half to two inches away, and begin inserting from the back again. When you have inserted the last cut- ting then insert the label directly in front of it as though it were a cutting. On this label should be written plainly the name of the variety in full and the date they were inserted. Do not trust to memory, as you are likely to forget by the time they are ready to come out, and you may not take them out yourself, anyway. Any of your men should be able to make out the identity of any variety without trouble. The date will help you to keep track of them better. If you know when a cutting was put in the sand, you will know about when it should be rooted. When finished sticking a batch of cut- tings they should be watered enough to wet the sand thoroughly, which will cause the sand to settle firmly around the cuttings. The cutting should be inserted in the sand about three-quarters of an inch deep, according to the size of the cutting. Perhaps it would be better to say it should be set deep enough so that it will stand upright when being wa- tered. Of course they are inserted in an upright position to start with, A. F, J. Baur. NOTES FROM ENGLAND. The first arrivals of Japan lilies in Europe are somewhat disappointing to the importer. A larger percentage than usual are unpacking rotten and fifty per cent of a recent consignment unpacked in Hamburg proved to be useless. As is usual with the first consignments the bulbs were not fully ripe when lifted in Japan, with the result that many have shrunk considembly in transit, and con- sequently on aVrival are found to be much below specified measurements. It is becoming the practice in England for many growers to particularly stipulate when placing their orders, that their de- liveries shall be taken from the second shipment, for by this means only can they be certain of the bulbs being ripe and well matured. Gladiolus Colvillei alba The Bride im- ported from Holland is causing some trouble in England this year. It is well known that if this bulb is packed in too close a case for export, it will be found on arrival to be heated, mildewed and probably rotten. In spite of this fact some firms still persist in packing bulk quFiDtities loose in close cases, and I re- cently came across a consignment of really magnificent bulbs that were totally spoiled. Instead of being packed in pa- per bags jmd then in open cases, which is the only way this bulb will stand ti-ansit, they were loosely packed in close cases and chaff run in between the bulbs, with the disastrous results stated above, in ordering this bulb many growers are now stipulating on their orders just the manner in which they want them packed. Since the price has been up cultivations in Holland have been heavily manured to haf^ten the growth. Too heavy manuring I^^kS P^ m} w^ I •^^■. t^^TmM ■ Exbibition Design by J. S. SimmoQs, Toronto.

Probably never before in the history of the flower trade have chrysanthemums been so plentiful. Covent Garden is glutted and loads are being thrown cway daily. This is largely the result of mild weather, there having occurred up to date no frost worth mentioning to cut off any outdoor bloom. In new plants we are getting plenty of American varieties of carnations, four new varieties being shown at the Royal Horticultural Society's meeting October 23. The most notable was a variety called White Perfection. This is likely to become a standard market variety, as the blooms are large, of fine form, and borne on long, stiff stems. It was gen- erally admired and commented upon by the trade and was shown by Hugh Low & Co., Enfield, near London. At the same meeting a valuable new fern came from G. Prickett, of South Tottenham, named Nephrolepis tesselata. It is quite distinct from the older varieties ot nephrolepis, the fronds being more ex- panded and longer at the tips and hav- ing a distinctly wavy appearance. J. B. FRED BREITMEYER, "ANGEU" In theatrical slang the man who backs with his money any sort of a theatrical venture is styled an "angel." Fred Breitmeyer is such a one. It is not stat- ed if the following clipping from a To- ledo paper is some of his own press agent's stuff. Barring a few extra stories on the Breitmeyer building and a few other little details like that, includ- ing the total elimination of the other members of the firm, it goes fairly well : ' ' Fred Breitmeyer, the millionaire florist of Detroit, arrived in this city yesterday to be the guest of Frank Burt during the stay of 'The Governor's Par- don' at Burt's the last half of the week. Mr. Breitmeyer is an auto enthusiast and bought the show as a sort of a hobby because it contains a most realistic auto racing scene, in which two real cars are utilized, and it gave Mr. Breitmeyer op- portunity to use several cars which con- tain his own ideas in construction. He owns the largest greenhouses in the mid- dle west at Mount Clemens, and the twelve-story Breitmeyer block in Detroit is one of the finest buildings there. He utilizes that for his retail and wholesale florists ' business, and only took a flyer in the show business as a sort of recrea- tion. "He came to Toledo to see his old friend, Mr. Burt, and also to look over the show, as he has not seen it for quite a while. He thinks so well of the show business that he may soon send out other productions, finding the mingling of flow- ers and amusement offerings go right well together. ' ' HEAT FOR MIXED STOCK. Will you please tell me what the night temperature should be in a house where a variety of plants are grown, such as azaleas, hydrangeas, palms, ferns, Har- risii lilies, geraniums. Baby Eamblers, spiraeas, smilax, callas, forcing bulbs, etc.? E. H. O. It is not possible to grow all these plants in one temperature and have the best of success, but if they must all be under the same roof, 50 degrees night temperature will suit the majority better than a higher or lower reading, until such time as the business warrants other houses. For the details of the require- ments of each plant see the Florists * Man- ual, by William Scott. MIGNONETTE. We would like to have W. S. tell us if it will be too warm if we run our mignonette house at 60 to 65 degrees, with a little air on in the daytime? We have it planted with Allen's Defiance, and the plants are about ten to fourteen inches high. Some show bud, but we think they will have short stems, and if 65 degrees would make the stem run up more would it make the flower smaller? A. B. C. You are keeping your mignonette much too high. Allen's Defiance'is a fine vari- ety if you can get it true, but no mignon- ette should be kept in dark weather over 40 to 45 degrees at night. Keep lateral growths rubbed off if you expect fine, strong spikes, and never let the night temperature go over 45 degrees. Give ventilation on all possible occasions. It is the absurdly high temperature that makes your flowers small. W. S. COMMERCIAL VARIETIES. [A sj'nopsls of a paper by Herman Knope, read before the Detroit Florists' Club, Novem- ber 21, 1906.] The chrysanthemum is the most deco- rative flower we have, and if nature had been good enough to provide it with the fragrance of the American Beauty, then nothing could surpass it. I think we owe the originators many thanks for the good varieties we have today, especially those we grow for commercial use. We should, in my estimation, grow the varieties that sell best and the trade de- mands. If any grower is growing mums for the wholesale market and is not acquainted with the varieties that the trade demands, it will be to his advan- tage, financially, to have the store man or commission house keep him posted on such varieties as the flower buying pub- lic demands. It is a wise plan to grow such varieties as are admired by the public at the exhibitions held in the 80 The Weekly Florists^ Review* November 29, 1906. larger stores. In order to make these exhibitions interesting and profitable new and fancy varieties should also be shown, so the people can compare the colors, size, shape, etc. The grower should know the market value of his stock. There is usually a glut on the market at the middle of No- vember, but this should not bring down the price. Too many poor flowers are on the market. Many growers cut their blooms before they are well open. They seem to be too anxious to get them on the market. Leave the blooms to develop; they will keep better, sell more readily and com- mand a better price. To grow good mums requires more study, time and labor than some give it. Most growers grow too large a variety; a few kinds well grown will bring much better returns. The Best Sorts. Below is a list of good commercial va- rieties to choose from, all good growers and shippers: White — George S. Kaib, Polly Eose, Ivory, Adelia, Arline, White Bonnaffon, Majestic, Jerome Jones and Chadwick. Pink — Pacific, Marie Liger, Maud Dean, A. J. Balfour, Wm. Duckham and Dr. Enguehard. Yellow— Halliday, H. Hurrell, Major Bonnaffon, Georgiana Pitcher, Yellow Jones, Nagoya and Golden Chadwick. White Ivory is, in my estimation, the best all-round white mum we have. It requires less room to grow and, being a good seller, will net more money to the grower than any other. Preparing to Propagate. After you have decided what to grow for next season, get some good, vigor- ous stock and plant in a suitable place in order to secure healthy cuttings, for here is where the growing of good chrys- anthemums begins. I prefer planting stock plants in a bench. By this method I believe we can secure more and better cuttings. Another good plan, if you cuttings. Give plenty of water and pro- tect against the sun, and you will have no trouble striking roots. Time to Propagate. The time to begin propagating de- pends on the variety. The earliest va- rieties should be propagated early in April and be ready to plant the latter part of May in order to procure good blooms. The midseason ones we propa- gate the first part of May and the very late varieties can be planted the middle of July and, if well taken care of, will produce good blooms. Chrysanthemums that are to produce exhibition blooms, good stem and foliage, should all be propagated in March or the first week in April and the very best wood taken for cuttings. Plant in May. The space to plant mums will depend on the variety. We all know from ex- perience that more space must be al- lowed' for varieties that have large foliage. If single stems are to be grown, such varieties as Ivory, plant 4x5 inches. I prefer single-stemmed plants. This re- quires more plants, but it gives each plant the same advantage and will make better foliage and blooms. Soil for Mums. My experience is that the soil should be good, stiff soil, not hardpan clay, but good sod put up with cow manure in the fall and turned over in the spring. If solid benches are used, see that they are provided with good drainage. Cinders or broken bricks are good. I have found that four to five inches of soil is a good depth, as we can con- trol the watering and feeding better than with more soil. Before filling the benches, cover the bottom with air-slaked lime to prevent angleworms from work- ing. When ready to plant mark the space off carefully, using some kind of a marker. You will not regret this when it comes to tying up and working be- tween the plants. Plant a bench or f 1 ' r i ' / te, IIXIG. lai'^i'i' stciics.

After ten days or two weeks, if the soil is loose pound it with a ])iece of brick. If the soil should happen to bake, give it a half or one inch of top-dress- ing with equal parts of well-rotted cow manure and soil. Working the soil is detrimental to the feeding roots of the plants. Tying and Feeding. Do not wait with the tying up until the plants fall over. A good scheme, especially with single-stemmed stock, is to run wires overhead above the rows. Then take string and tie to the base of the plant, carrying the string up to the Avire. This is all the tying necessary. Every two or three weeks give the stalk a turn around the string. The next thing will be to watch the side shoots and suckers. Keep them carefully removed if good blooms are expected. When disbudding time comes one cannot be too careful in d>dng this work, W^e should not take buus when they are too small. If we do, we will injure the bud that should produce the bloom. On the other hand, we should not wait until the buds are too kirge. If the soil was in good condition at the time of planting, not so much feed- ing is necessary, but if it was poor, feed liberally. Do not feed until the buds show up; then sparingly in the begin- ning, stopping when the flowers show color. Feed pink varieties the least, as too much will take out the color. Yel- low will stand more and white can stand the most. In regard to fertilizer, I have had best success using pulverizeti sheep ma- nure soaked in water and used as a liquid. It helps make a good bloom, stem and foliage. Insects and Disease. Insects must be destroyed as soon as detected; do not wait until your plants are covered. We all know that the black fly or aphis is the most bothersome in- sect we have to fight on mums. This can easily be gotten rid of by spraying witii nicotine extract diluted in water. Three tea.spoonfuls to one gallon of water will do the work without fail. I'or greenfly use two teaspoonfuls to one gallon of water, and four teas[)Oonfuls to one gal- lon of water for red spidei'. I will say that red spider can be kept down by using a good pressure from the ho.se. Mums will bear syringing eviuy sunny day during the summer nmntlis, but the man at the hose should be care- ful to get as little water on tiie soil as possible.

This method of display- ing the goods has been followed in Cov- eiit (larden, London, for years, and I have often wondered v\hy it had not been adopted here. 1 fc'cl sure, however, that American ingcTiuity will contrive recep- tacles that will (ill the Ijill. 'J'hese re- marks about sliipjiing would be incom- ]ilete if I fail to mention two other im- portant items. \i/. : cleanliness of all paper, etc., used, and grading. We are all Jiware how liable one is, if he be a few short of an even number of firsts, to put in the required number of good sec- onds; but it should also be borne in mind that the prosj)Cctive buyer will almost always spot those very one.s, frequently with' the effect of dindining the deal, or else standing out for a reduction in jirice. Specialists. The specialist is in a distinct class by himself, not alone as regards the goods he handles, but in the enviable position ho enjoys in regard to the disposal of the same. Specialists as a rule are so well known, not only in their neighbor- hood, but further afield, that the ju- dicious use of the advertising columns of the trade pajjers iu tlieir case is all that is necessarv'. These remarks only apply to the "bona fides," as many call themselves iu this class that have no earthly reason for so doing. I once heard a witty son of the Green Isle, in answer to the question of, "What is a specialist?" reply, "A man that thinko he is one, blows his own trumpet, but the rale thing, why, other people blow it for him. ' ' The majority of the foregoing remarks have dealt principally with the cut flower trade. In regard to the plant business, few- cities are large enough to warrant a i)lant market, and it seems to me that the methods at present iu vo&^e with the gentlemen engaged in thisTi'ne are as jiractical as any that can be recom- mended, but I cannot miss this opportun- ity of paying tribute to the vast improve- ment of the last few years in regard to the methods of packing plants. When one looks back a few years, and remem- bers the condition in which one received a shipment of plants, he canuot fail to highly appreciate the great improvements that have taken place. The only people who have lost by these improvements are the express companies. In conclusion I would state that in this l)aper I did not start out with any idea of evolving a new mode of procedure, but have tried to offer a few suggestions that might improve existing conditions, which seem to answer their purpose sat- isfactorily. UTILIZING A SASH HOUSE. Will you kindly inform me if I can root carnation cutting in a small sash house, adjoining .i large greenhouse? There is no heat in the sash house ex- cepting wliat comes through from the house adjoining, there being no partition between the two. J. B. While the house you describe does not give ideal conditions for propagating, yet I would not say that you could not; root your carnation cuttings in it. You will find that during extreme cold weath- er you will have trouble in keeping frost (mt, or at least you will have a very low temperature. So that instead of rooting your cuttings in six weeks, it may take them (Mght to ten weeks, and not as high a percentage will root. It will pay you to run at least one pipe under the bench, and run it near the outside wall, regard- less of what you intend to grow in the hou-;ita\ia, N.

Hamilton, of Des jNIoines, la., delivered before the con- gressional commission sitting at New York to consider changes in the law under which newspapers and periodicals are admitted to the mails: ' ' The publication of newspapers and magazines is a private business; there is no reason of public policy which calls for its regulation by law. * * * Men should be free to publish poor papers and magazines, for in these days of costly and beautiful papers, woe be to the pub- lisher who does not keep pace with the improvements others are introducing. They should be free to accept all the reputable advertising they can obtain, because the American people value and read the advertising as thoroughly as the regular reading matter and usually refuse to take publications which do not contain large quantities of it. The sub- scriber profits largely by modern adver- tising. "To limit the volume or relative pro- portion of advertising wMch a publica- tion may carry under penalty of exclu- sion from the mails would be to destroy the most valuable asset of every notably successful publication of every class in America today. The right to sell all the advertising they can make room for is more valuable to them than their stately buildings and costly mechanical equip- ment. * It is the quintessence of their well earned success. It rests on genuine merit and is the fruit of honest service. ' ' SPECIAL CHRISTMAS ISSUE. The Special Christmas Numlser of the Review will be issued as usual, being mailed to the trade on the morning of December 13. The special issues of the Eeview are of such great interest to the whole trade that the advertising in them is increasing not only steadily but rap- idly. Advertisers will give us much as- sistance in turning out a well printed Christmas Number by sending advertis- ing copy early. COUNCIL OF HORTICULTURE. A meeting of the National Council of Horticulture was held at the Auditorium Annex, Chicago, November 9 and 10. There were present Messrs. J. C. Vaughan, C. E. Kendel, W. F. Kasting, Prof. L. R. Taft, Prof. W. W. Tracy, H. C. Irish, J. H. Burdett, E. V. Hal- lock and John N. May. Mr. Burdett gave an exhaustive report on the press bureau work as conducted during the past year, after which de- tailed plans for the continuation of the service were considered. The relative merits of the clipping sheet used by the American Civic Association as compared with the plan of the council by sending mimeograph copies of matter for pub- lication direct to large papers and to press syndicates was discussed and it was voted to continue the latter plan and to begin another series of articles early in the New Year. Reports were made of an unusual de- mand for certain seeds, the cause of which had been traced directly to their exploitation through the press bureau last spring A list of subjects to be written up for the coming year was presented by Mr. Kendel and the secretary was instructed to correspond with nurserymen and flo- rists for further subjects. A report was read from Robert Craig, on a visit to the Jamestown Exposition Co., in the interests of a horticultural exhibition and congress. It showed that the exposition company is not in a posi- tion to offer cash premiums for a special horticultural exhibition but in his opin- ion the project could be successfully car- ried out if the money was guaranteed by individuals. It was voted to arrange for a horticultural congress at Norfolk dur- ing the exposition period and Prof. W. W. Tracy was appointed to draft a call to supplement the one which had been issued and to arrange a preliminary program. H. C. Irish, Sec. STATE OF GENERAL TRADE. E. G. Dun & Co. say that ' * Commercial operations in wholesale and jobbing lines were, on the whole, of satisfactory pro- portions last week. Holiday goods have begun to move unusually early in a re- tail way and many reorders have been received by distributers. In a few lines trade has been retarded to some extent by weather conditions, but transactions in the aggregate surpass those of a year ago, which were unsually large at this season. "The coal situation is being compli- cated more and more by the car shortage, and in some districts west there is claimed to be such a scarcity that farm- ers have been obliged to shell their corn in order to obtain the cobs to burn for fuel. In the local market the cold weather has increased the demand, and prices have been easily maintained and in some cases advanced. "In staple lines, including clothing, footwear, furniture, hardware, business has been maintained at recent levels, with a general satisfactory condition aside from the difficulty experienced in obtaining prompt shipment." THE TARIFF ON GLASS. Pursuant of the action taken by the S. A. F. convention at Dayton, in ap- pointing a committee to consider what might be done with the glass tariff, the correspondence below is of interest to everyone in the craft. Flshklll-on-Hudson, N. Y., Nov. 20, 1906. Hon. Sereno E. Payne, Auburn, N. Y. Dear Sir: I am constrained to address you upon a- matter of considerable Interest to a large craft of men who use window glass in their business to the amount of millions of square feet, and that is the florists of the United States. At the annual convention of the Society of American Florists, held at Dayton, O., one of the most important matters brought up was that of the duty now Imposed upon window glass, which Is an advance so much greater than ex- isted prior to 1896, and which tariff raised the price of this commodity very materially per pound on every box of glass used. With the knowledge of your standing in con- gress, and being a member of the committee appointed by the convention, I have for some time thought of laying this matter before you and to ask that, now election is over and we know how the drift of affairs will be the next two years, if the matter of reduction of tariff rates would stand any chance of receiving con- sideration at the approaching session of con- gress, or if at the present stage of public opin- ion it would be labor lost to attempt to do any- thing directly without pronounced agitation. The greenhouse men of the United States, who run into the thousands, all feel that the present high cost of this necessary article is to them very largely enhanced by the existing ex- cessive duty, and if this duty could be brought down to the rate prior to the tariff of 1897, that it would be an economic gain, which would work no harm to producers, because many of us believe and think that the tariff as it exists today is overdone and the party that should correct the matter is the republican, in control of the majority.

Congress meets thl« year December .'J, and tlie term of this congress expires on Marcli 4, giving three months, with the exception of the holi- days, for what work we have to do. The time is barely sufficient to give consideration to the appropriation bills which will come up. All would agree it would be entirely impossible to pass a tariff bill. While you desire but one item of the tarifC changed, this could not be considered without taking up the whole subject of tariff revision and considering all the claims for changes to t)e made to the different s, and lint i|!lS,(XH>, worth more of glass to manufacture at the latter date than in ism;. This means, of «ourse. prosperltv to the work- men in the glass manufacturing business. You would readily admit that your business had been nuioh better since 1SU7 tlian it was In the three years preceding that .rear, \inder the Wilson tariff act, and the year or two before that, when the country was prostrated becauve of the uncertainty of what the Wilson people might do, for your business must be very de- Iiendent upon the general prosperltv of the country. It would be well for you to" take Into ••onslderation whether it Is not better to have the country generally prosperous under the present act, which brings prosperity to your busi- ness, rather than to restore the glass business to its condition under the Wilson tariff, therebv bringing your business back to tlie same condi- tion of affairs. I only throw out this sugges- tion for your consideration, because wlien the subject of tariff revision is taken up. 1 shall hope to hear from the florists on this subject. Y'ours very triilv. SEUKXO K. I'AYXE. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market Xoveml)er lias witliout doubt been a disappoiutmont to most of the trade in Chicago, both wholesalers and retailers. The middle of the month saw a greater depression in the wholesale market than is usual at the height of the chrysanthe- mum season, and the light demand con- tinued right up to Thanksgiving. While great quantities of stock were moved, and in some lines prices Avere high, still the volume of business for November does not exceed that of last year. And Chicago is so accustomed to steadily and rapidly increasing volimios of s.ilos that it halt in the advance is something in the nature of a shock. For a full fortnight before Thanks- giving shipping trade was less than usual at this season and a long period of dis- agreeable weather, whicli killed street .sales, had much effect upon the city stores that depend upon transient trade. The high class stores, catering to the best society business, are almost the only ones which did not feel the slackening of business during the month. What the cause or causes may have been is hard to say. In every line of business in Chicago great activity pre- vails and throughout the country pros- perity is at a higher level than in any previous year. It is doubtless merely a combination of circumstances which will shortly give way to normal conditions, and we shall have a rush in volume suf- ficient to offset the temporary slacken- ing in pace. Thanksgiving. Writing on the eve of Thanksgiving, no more than a general summary of the trade is po.ssible, but it seems quite evi- dent that the business for Thanksgiving has not exceeded that of last year, al- though it must be taken into account that last year's Thanksgiving demand was exceptionally heavy. The prediction that supplies of stock would be ample has been thoroughly justified. Monday the market Avas heavily loaded with stock. Most of it was held at the increased ] trices anticipated for Thanksgiving. However, the day did not prove to be more than a normal Monday with most houses, city buying not being in evi- dence, for the retailers foresaw a break in prices. Monday night found the market far from cleaned up. Tuesday was the big shipping day and the volume of business was large, nearly all good stock being well cleaned up. The weather for several days has been unfavorable to stock and complaint is anticipated because of the softness of stock, especially carnations, which were not of average shipping quality. Wednesday morning round the market lieaviiy supj)lied, a part of the stock be- ing carried over from Tuesday, and ship- ping demand being over there Avas a weakening in prices, most apj)arent on carnations, l^air stock broke to as low as .1)2 per hundreto>date growers will use the TVittboId system Instead of the present method of watering with the hose. When the nozzles are properly spaced, they throw exactly the same amount of water to all parts of the bench." W. B. DAVIS & CO., Cucumber Growers, Aurora, 111. "We have the Wlttbold system In six houses 33x200 and It works to perfection, doing the watering better than the average man can do with the hose. We will equip our other two plants next season; no more watering with the hose for us." CHAM BERLIN & BUNKER, Vegetable Growers, Fremont, Mich. ''It is the King of Sprinklers; beats everything in the watering line." J. B. ADAMS, Pass Christian, Miss. " We are better pleased every day. A boy can do better work with it than a good man can with a hose. It is the only way to water lettuce." R. T. DONNELL, Springfield, 111. "As a time-saver, in my estimation there is nothing to equal it and no one realizing Its value will be without the Wlttbold system." WM. EDLEF8EN, Milwaukee, Wis. "It is a fine thing and I wonder why greenhouse men have not taken hold more. It should come Into general use. It puts the water on more evenly than the average man will with the hose."

Mr. Miesse grows Success and Magnifi- cent, two tomatoes which he originated and which have been distributed to the trade by Wm. Henry Maule, Philadel- phia. He also grows French Marvel. These are all red varieties and very at- tractive when well grown. Mr, Miesse and a number of the Lancaster vegetable growers attended the S. A. F. convention at Dayton and while there saw no exhibit which so thoroughly interested them as Mr. Sim 's display of Comet tomatoes. The result is that quite a number are trying it for next season. Mr. Miesse grows Grand Kapids let- tuce, "as near as we can get it," for he says it is a hard matter to get good seed. He states that he thinks it would be better to pay $5 per pound for really good seed than to take the ordinary stock as a gift. In the illustration showing the interior view Mr. Miesse and his son stand in the foreground, on one of the cement walks which are in use throughout the establishment. The Skinner system of irrigation is in use for watering and Mr. Miesse says "It is just it." Vegetable growers no longer use the hose. Thirty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Miesse started out in gardening on a one-horse Dandy wagon. Now they ride in a rub- ber-tired phaeton, which Mr. Miesse says does not jolt as the Dandy wagon did, and if progression continues at the rate of the last few years he soon will be taking his crop to town each morning in a forty horsepower automobile. MECHANICAL WATERING. In spite of the fact that the old-style gardener believes that it is as much the proper pressure of his finger at the end of the hose as it is the water that comes therefrom which is a benefit to the plants, still mechanical watering is rapidly be- coming the popular means of supplying moisture in establishments of modern size. There are many arguments for the me- chanical system of watering. They have been discussed to such an extent that all over the country both progressive men and lazy have given the system a trial, with the result that the progressive ones usually have increased their use of it and been instrumental in its adoption by their neighbors. The lazy growers sometimes have found nothing in it, for as a usual thing wherever the mechanical watering has failed to give satisfaction it has been because of careless and imperfect instal- lation. The mechanical systems have taken es- pecially strong hold among the vegetable growers. Hundreds of lettuce growers now use no hose in handling their crops and the warmest advocate of mechanical watering yet developed is the owner of a big range devoted to cucumbers. Growers of cut flowers have not yet taken up the system largely, but here and there a man who has tried it speaks in its favor, while the voices raised against the system are usually those who have had no experience with it. At the establishment of the Henry A. Dreer Co., Eiverton, N. J., several sys- tems of mechanical watering are to be seen in oper«.uon, and are among the Comet Tomato Those who force tomatoes should grive "Oomet" a trial. This variety has been the talk of gardeners around Boston the past season. Those who have seen it growing declare there's nothing to compare with it. Seed, $5.00 per oi. WILLIAM SIM, Cliftondale, Mass. Mention The Review when yon write. most interesting features as viewed by the many visitors. The Dreer Co. has the piping not only in the fields but in frames. The southern truckers are using the lines of sprinklers for another purpose. They have found that they can ward off impending frosts by the use of the sprinkling system. Where fields of vege- tables not equipped with the sprinklfer have been completely ruined by frosts, those in which the sprinkler was kept run- ning have escaped all harm. As one southern trucker says, the systems are likely to revolutionize the trucking busi- ness in the south. Sterling, III. — The new greonhouse of the Sterling Floral Co. has been com- pleted and is now being used for grow- ing carnations. It is 25x125 and mod- ern in construction. The company has a fine display of carnations and chrysan- themums. Brighton, Mass. — The greenhouses lo- cated at the corner of Spring and Green streets have been sold, together with 29,800 feet of land. The total assessed value is $7,000; on the land, $4,500.

The Weekly Florists' Review. toi The Skinner System of Irrigation IS USED AROUND THE WORLD "I have fitted one house with the Skinner System and am delighted with it — just what has been wanted." CHAS. F. STREET, Clackamas, Oregon. "The nozzles work like a charm. Send me 10,000 more. I want to equip my whole place with Skinner nozzles." D. N. CHADWICK, Wilmington, N. C. ' ' I have used your irrigation system the past season on one acre of Cauliflower for seed and, as it has worked to my full satisfaction in every respect, I want to use it next season all over my farm and will send you my order shortly, as several friends also want to use it." A. HANSEN, Copenhagen, Denmark. The above illustration is from a kodak photo showing a partial view of a 6-acre irrigation plant at Leesburg, Fla. In the house in the center is located a 6 h. p. gasoline engine and a Skinner centrifugal pump, which is drawing the water 675 feet from the lake with a 10-foot lift and is furnishing 900 Skinner nozzles with 30 pounds pressure at one time. The leading growers in Florida now believe the Skinner System will revolutionize the trucking business in the state, as with it they can not only irrigate their crops, but can also frost protect g,s well. That the Skinner System has been a success in the greenhouses is shown by the fact that in one place, Toledo, Ohio, twelve growers have installed it. Some of the largest growers in the state have, after giving the system a trial, put it in their whole place. The Skinner System has won its way on its own merits. Every installation always brings others from that section. The Skinner System can be installed during the winter when there is plenty of time, and in the spring when rushed with outside work you will not have to stop to water the greenhouses. Let me refer you to some one in your section that is using my system. Illustrated Circular on Application. Correspondence Solicited. C. W.

The sources of supply for onion seed are pretty well drawn from and it ap- pears that there are still quite a few places that are in need of more seed. Some of the foreign shipments are longer delayed this year than usual. The season has been against quick harvest- ing and cleaning on the other side, is the reason given. There is a demand for experienced seed clerks. A contemplated branching out at one or two places recently has added to the earning capacity of clerks who know their business. The first of the wholesale price lists to come to hand is Burpee's, dated No- vember 22. It is interesting to note that, price changes, as compared with last year, are few and nearly all that are changed are lower, except on onion and radish.

There has been no change in this number during the past five years," Seed Adulteration. As to the publication of the names of sellers of adulterated grass seeds, he says, under the head, ' ' Good Seeds for the Farmer ' ' : ' ' Several lines of work carried on dur- ing the year have for their object the improvement of the seed upon which the farmer must depend for his crops. The investigations of seed adulterations pre- viously mentioned in these reports have been continued, and there is every evi- dence that the publication of the names of firms found to be selling adulterated seed has been the means of checking the evil. In all this work the department has but one object, namely, to protect the farmer from unscrupulous dealers who make a practice of foisting bad seed upon him. The rank and file of Ameri- can seedsmen do not follow any such practices and are as anxious as the de- partment to protect the farmer. "The seed laboratory has tested for both seedsmen and farmers hundreds of samples of seeds during the last year, and in this way has greatly encouraged the propaganda for good seed. A fea- ture of the work has been a campaign of education for better seed. Cheap seed is often the most expensive thing con- nected with a crop. A few cents saved on each pound of alfalfa or clover seed may cost the farmer all of his work in preparing and fertilizing the ground, be- sides the loss of an entire season in get- ting the crop started. The bureau has also been actively engaged in encourag- ing the good-seed work through addresses at farmers' institutes and other meet- ings. ' ' Corn Breeding.

The main point at issue was the gain in yield due to the vitality of the seed. Actual field demonstrations have shown that, taking corn in the average — that is, corn from diflferent parts of the United States as ordinarily saved for seed by farmers — the yield would be increased about fif- teen per cent if the vitality were per- fect. The department has pointed out simple methods of testing vitality that any farmer can follow, and has shown in field practice that the adoption of such methods by the farmer may i^icrease his yield from ten to fifteen per cent. Sim- ilar work has been conducted with a num- ber of other crops. ' ' In the corn breeding experiments great advances have been made. One variety, which has been carefully bred in central Ohio, has, for the last four years, shown an average yearly gain of ten bushels per acre over the original variety. Seed of this variety has been sent to numerous farmers and is giving excellent results.

This plant is native on the dry steppes of Siberia, where the mercury sometimes freezes without snow, thus proving the ability of the plant to withstand with no protection a temperature of about 40 de- grees below zero. The existence of this alfalfa has been suspected for many years, and its final discovery, it is be- lieved, may mark an epoch in the agri- culture of the northwestern prairie re- gions of the United States, where the rainfall is slight and the winters are ex- ceedingly cold. Prof. Hansen is making a careful study of this plant, with a view to its cultivation in this country. A quantity of the seed of this valuable crop has been secured, which will be given a thorough trial by the depart- ment at an early date. It will supple- ment durum wheat in a rotative system and avoid the necessity of summer fal- lowing. "Wilt has nearly destroyed the water- melon industry in many sections of the south. All known varieties of melons have been tested, but none resistant to the disease was found. It was found, however, that the citron is resistant, and the department undertook by hybridiza- tion to breed this quality into the melon. The result has been successful, and there has been secured and fixed a variety of melon very resistant to wilt — a heavy yielder, of excellent quality, and well adapted to shipping. Next season it will be propagated for distribution." Nitro Cultures. As to the nitrogen fixing bacteria upon which the department has done so much work, it is stated that '.'The method of distributing cultures dried on cotton for the inoculation of leguminous crops was discontinued dul-ing the year, and in its place the plan adopted of distributing pure liquid cultures hermetically sealed in glass tubes. This has been proved to be a great improvement over the old sys- tem. It is planned to distribute during the current year larger cultures to the farmers, and thus render it possible to reduce the time formerly required to de- velop a rich culture for inoculating legu- minous crops. Many field tests in this work are under way on large farms, and it is hoped by this careful experimental work to acquire much valuable informa- tion concerning the best manner of treat- ment of certain soils and crops in order to oDtain successiul inoculations," Please find enclosed $1 for your tip- top paper,— Wm.

NOTES FROM HOLLAND. No doubt the most remarkable Octo- ber in the last twenty years has just come to a, close. "With the exception of one cold day it has been a steady continua- tion of summer weather and it may truly be said that it has been an ideal month lor all those who had to attend to any outside work. Nearly all bulb stocks have been planted and in many places the growers are busy in putting the win- ter covering on their fields. Perhaps the only drawback of the fine weather has been the dullness in the retail trade, as the absence of frost has failed to work as a reminder on the people that it is time to plant spring bulbs. Usually such a reminder in the shape of a sharp frost early in October, that destroys bedding flowers, is a great assistance to the retail trade and in consequence helps to clear out any surplus stock in the hands of the growers. Fortunately no surplus of hyacinths or crocus is to be disposed of this season, as they are all completely sold out here, and many late orders for them had to be left unfilled. Spiraeas have moved slowly this season, but gladioli have been making up for tnis and especially Brenchleyensis in first size bulbs have been extremely scarce, Yick's Bulbs Are now ready for distribution.

The seeds will be grown under the su- pervision of the company, special atten- tion being given to pure seed for the farm, while garden seeds will be taken up on the side.

BALTIMORE. The Market Business last week was steady and everybody who was not working on orders occupied his spare time in making up designs for the holidays. Chrysan- themums are a glut, and the street fak- ers are standing along the curbing offer- ing them at a figure that the retailers cannot meet. Roses are still lacking in their usual supply. Carnations are plen- tiful and there is just about enough de- mand to use them up. Violets are com- ing in more steadily and color and stems are favorable, and same are selling at 60 cents per hundred. Paper Whites are now on the market, but there is little demand. Greens of all kinds are plenti- ful. Eeports from the holly section indicate a fairly good cut will be made and that it will be well covered with berries. Mis- tletoe will find its way into the market in its usual amouni. Christmas greens are beginning to come into the market. Various Notet. Bolgiano & Sons have awarded their contract to H. Quick for 10,000 geranium plants and 5,000 dahlia roots, to be de- livered in the spring. The Baltimore Transfer Co. 's wagon upset Harry Ekas' stall and damaged a number of plants. The Baltimore Florists' Exchange will occupy its new building on Franklin and St. Paul streets this week. J. J. Perry is the manager. B. Stoll, Brooklyn, Md., cleared out of two houses of carnations 20x160 feet $86 in one month's cutting. Mrs. Emma Hahn, of Eoland Park, is offering her business for sale. Struntz Bros., of Westport, report that business has been steadily increasing and nearly all their stock was sold several days before Thanksgiving. Griffith & Turner Co. and J. Bolgiano report that they have a general clean-up on bulbs. The first named was asked to furnish 40,000 tulips and was unable to do so. Fire broke out on the morning of No- vember 23 on the third floor of the es- tablishment of S. L. Lamberd Co. Dam- age reported slight. E.

Quantities of stock are coming and the demand is not at all equal to the supply, with the ex- ception of American Beauties and violets which are still scarce. Eoses and carna- tions are now of first quality, large mums are received in good supply but do not seem to move with the rush that they have in other years. It would appear that there have been too many growing this season, and the stores have been kept so fully supplied with all colors and all sizes that people are getting tired of them. Poinsettias are arriving. J. H. Dunlop has a fine window of them this week. S. Tidy & Son had the Mulock dance this week, which was a very elabo- rate affair, using quantities of southern smilax, orchids, Beauties and Jones mums. We are glad to report that William Jay, Jr., who sustained a fractured skull a few weeks ago, is steadily improving and the doctor has allowed him to be up a short time each day this week. J. S. Simmons was honored by being elected Master of Wilson Masonic lodge this week. D. J. BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Roses, carnations and mums have never been so fine as during this fall and the supply is about equal to the demand. At the many social events one sees flowers on every hand, and even at a small card party the hostess seems compelled to adorn her home with greenhouse products. The store of W. M. Lindsay is greatly improved by the addition of a balcony, where all the office work is transacted, thus making considerable space in the store. 116 The Weekly Florists^ Review* XOVEMBEK 29, 1900.

The city council at East Washington, Pa., has passed an ordinance imposing a fine of $20 per tree for planting Carolina poplars and water maples on the public ways. The proprietors of the Barton Creek nurseries, Charlotte, Tenn., have pur- chased the farm adjacent to the nursery property and will make extensive addi- tions and improvements. The West Michigan Nursery, Benton Harbor, Mich., has cleared the apple trees from the W. H. Graham property at Berrien Springs, which it held under lease, as the property is to be divided into building lots. The latest San Jose scale bulletin is from the Texas State Experiment Sta- tion and is prompted, the author states, by the rapid growth of the fruit indus- try in Texas and the frequency of re- quests for information as to how to fight the pest. The Kansas Home Nursery, owned and operated by A. H. Griesa, at Law- rence, Kan., since 1867, has had a busy autumn season. Mr. Griesa covers Kan- sas and Oklahoma with about forty agents. His uniform success indicates his comprehension of the field. At the annual convention of the Na- tional Grange, at Denver November 22, a resolution was presented asking for a national law to protect farmers against the sale of nursery stock not true to name, but failed of adoption, being re- ferred to the various state granges. U. P. Hedrick, of the Western New York Experiment Station, gives the acre- age of grapes in tiie state as follows: Chautauqua county district, .30,000 acres; Keuka Lake, 15,000; Canandaigua Lake, 5,000; Seneca Lake, 4,000; Hudson val- ley, 2,000; Cayuga Lake, 1,000; Romu- lus, 1,000. Wayne & Butler, who two w-eeks ago sold their nursery, east of Sac City, la., to A. N. Wyman, are to leave Sac City with their families. Mr. Wayne recent- ly established a nursery at Elk Point, S. D., which he will manage. Mr. Butler will move after the holidays to Guthrie, Okla., where he purchased a farm. A considerable part of the Wayne & Butler nursery stock was sold to the nursery firm of J. S. Griffin & Sons. John Watson, of Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y., advises that he has placed in the hands of an attorney for proper action a newspaper report from Salt Lake City connecting his name with the affairs of the Pioneer Nursery Co. Mr. Watson feels that his reputation has been injured by the reports from Salt Lake and the Eeview takes pleasure in setting him right with the trade. AMCXDR RIVER PRIVET. Will you please tell us the best way to root Araoor river privet cuttings in the open ground? We have no hothouse, but have frost-proof cellars. In these we have been putting our cuttings in early spring that they may callus before plant- ing in the ground. But we sometimes lose many of tnem, and, as we have only our experience along this line for a few years, we thought perhaps you might tell us a better way, as this method is much trouble and so far has not been very successful. We shall be pleased to have you give us some light along this line, as we think there is a better way to do this work. G. W. J. Soft-wooded cuttings of Ligustrum Amurense root freely under glass. See- ing your correspondent, however, has no greenhouse, it would be best for him to take off cuttings late in the fall, tie them in bundles and bury them in the ground, transplanting as early in the spring as possible and firming the cuttings well. Allow only a small part to show above ground. This method is preferable to heeling them in a frost-proof cellar, where the soil may be too dry for the cuttings. W. N. C. CONTROL OF INSECT PESTS. In the annual report of the secretary of agriculture, made public today, the following paragraphs are found under the discussion of work lor the control of insect pests: ' * It has been shown that it is an easy matter to bring to this country the Euro- pean parasites of the gypsy and brown- tail moths, simply by collecting numbers of the larv8B and chrysalides in different parts of Europe and sending them direct to Boston. A certain percentage of these insects on arrival in New England have given out the European parasites, which have either been cultivated in wire-gauze inclosures, with plenty of food, or have been liberated in the open, there being chosen for this purpose patches of woods not subject to forest fires or to remedial work against the insects. It has been ascertained further — and this as a fact hitherto unknown even to European ento- mologists— that the young larvae of the brown-tail moth in their overwintering nests in Europe are extensively parasit- ized. Therefore, during the winter of 1905-6 over 117,000 nests of the brown- tail moth were collected in thirty-three different localities in Europe, ranging be- tween North Germany, South Hungary BOXWOOD, By The Carload 2X-it, Bushes, 75c each; 6>^-ft.

More than 70,000 parasites were reared from these nests on American soil. About eignt per cent of these were hyperparasites ; that is, parasites upon parasites. "By means of specially constructed cages the hyperparasites were separated and destroyed. The primary parasites were placed in out-of-door cages or lib- erated in the open. The largest colonies included 10,000, 15,000 and 25,000 para- sites, respectively. Owing to the very wet season a fungous disease prevailed among the caterpillars, vitiating to some extent the results of the experiments, but nevertheless three species of para- sites were seen to lay their eggs in American-born caterpillars, and there is positive proof of the development on American soil of at least one complete generation of two of the European spe- cies. It has been shown that they may breed successfully through the season. "For the investigation of insect ene- mies of deciduous fruit trees field sta- tions at Youngstown, N. Y., and Fort Valley, Ga., were carried on to the close of the growing season of 1905, and in the spring of 1906 others were started at Myrtle, Ga., and North East, Pa. Later another one was established at Nebraska City, Neb. In the course of this work some studies have been made of the para- sites of the San Jose scale, and experi- ments have been made with a number ox insecticide mixtures. The chemical study ot the lime-sulphur and other washes has been undertaken in co-operation with the bureau of chemistry. New studies have been made of the plum curcuUo. The peach borer has also been studied throughout its geographic range, and ex- tensive demonstration work has been done in Nebraska on remedies for the codling moth, in co-operation with the bureau of plant industry, which at the same time was dealing with the apple scab, combination treatments for both being carried on co-operatively. Co- operation in this work is also under way with the several other experiment sta- tions and the Georgia State entomolo- gist." Seasonable Stock for Florists! Hydrangeas, Otaksa and Bos.

The California Fruit Growers' Associ- ation, the California Horticultural Com- missioners and Inspectors and the Pacific Coast Association of Nurserymen will meet at Hanford, Cal., December 4 to 8. An informal session of the latter society will be held at liuther Burbank's place at Santa Bosa x)ecember 3. "While the program throughout con- tains many headings of interest to the nurserymen, their own day, Wednesday, will be of special importance to those who grow plants for sale. The program is as follows: Address F. W. Power Benefits to Be Derived from the Pacific Coast Nurserymen's Association and the American Association of Nurserymen S. A.

Clark & Son in West Alameda ruin his plants, F. W. Vo- winckel, an Alameda nurseryman, whose property is in the vicinity of the pot- tery works, has begun suit for injunc- tion and $5,000 damages. If he wins his case and secures a permanent injunc- tion, it will close a plant worth ap- proximately $1,000,000, which has been running in Alameda for about a quarter of a century. No buildings are very close to it, but it is surrounded by vege- table gardens and the nursery of Vo- winckel. In his complaint Vowinckel charges that the company has for some time been manufacturing sewer pipe, and has been burning crude oil and other fuel in its furnaces in such a negligent manner that the smoke, soot and gases emitted destroy vegetation within a considerable radius, among the properties affected be- ing that of the plaintiff. This is the second suit of the kind to be instituted by plant growers in Ala- meda. Some years ago vegetable gar- deners of the west end won a damage and injunction suit against the Pine Smelter, and the plant was closed and moved away. SAN FRANOSCX). The Market We have had a series of dry winds for the last few days and are greatly in need of a few showers.

The stores have been paying a uniform price of $1 per dozen bunches to the wholesalers. There is no change in the quality or price of roses and there is plenty of stock, es- pecially of the short stemmed. Good Beauties Are scarce, and as for fancy stock, there is none at present being of- fered. Valley and Romans are in short supply. Many growers have done noth- ing in the line of flowering bulbs this season, and there is bound to be a short- age of such stock for the holidays. Smi- lax is in good supply, but maidenhair and asparagus show a tendency to be scarce. Business is fair in the general lines, and funeral trade has been good for several weeks. The general opinion about Thanksgiving seems to be that we will have plenty of trade for everybody. Various Notet * A visit to the orchid housea of J. C. Siegfried, in Alameda, shows a lot of the best commercial varieties in splendid condition. A heavy demand is reported, with many orders for Thanksgiving. At the nurseries of M. Lynch, at INIenlo Park, much activity in shipping is evident. This firm sells but little of their large output in San Francisco, the majority of everything grown being ex- pressed to interior and northern cities. An immense house full of smilax is being held for the holidays. Thorsted & Co., of Fruitvale, are ex- hibiting a new seedling white carnation. It is the size and shape of Wolcott, but does not burst and is sweet scented. An- other season's trial will be given it be- fore extensive propagation will be car- ried on.

It is the first florist to come down town since the fire. J. D. Marion has departed on a two weeks' trip to southern California and Arizona. G. HEELING IN. Much valuable deciduous stock is lost every season by the ordinary dealer from carelessness in heeling in and the subse- quent lack of attention. I have spoken especially of hardy deciduous trees and shrubs, as they are handled almost en- tirely during the winter and early spring and usually without any soil on the roots. To begin with, it is not a sensible idea to attempt to dig anything in the line of deciduous stock before it is perfectly dormant, or as near so as it gets in this climate. The old rule was to wait until we had a couple of sharp frosts, but as they do not always appear in California, I find it is a better plan to wait until we have sufficient rain to wet the earth to a depth of from eight inches to a foot. Sometimes this fails us, and, although it is usually not a profitable proceeding to attempt to handle stock with a pick and shovel, it is occasionally necessary to do so. But little is to be gained by the purchaser or the grower by this method, and the injury to the smaller roots should be a matter of concern. Custom- ers, however, do not always use judgment and the nurseryman often has to trans- plant stock much against his will. When the proper time has arrived for transplanting, it should be done without any unnecessary uncovering or delay NOVKMBER 20, 1906.

Care should be taken to pack the soil firmly around the stock so that it will not act as a sponge and the trench as a basin in which the roots get too much moisture, with the result that if it is too long continued they generally commence to decay. The top may not show the effect of this for months, or long after they have been sold and planted in some other part of the country. This is especially notice- able in trees that do not require an ex- cess of moisture even when growing. Another fact often noticed, especially in packing grounds, is the careless man- ner in which stock is pulled out of the ground, with the result that there are always a few trees left each time with exposed roots, which the attendant never has time to cover. If the weather is frosty, with drying winds, both of which are very common in California, the roots and tops suffer greatly, and I have seen hundreds of fine looking stock sent out and every one of them long past recov- ery. The habit of heeling in trees in bun- dles has much to do with this state of affairs. The dealer usually ties his trees in bunches of ten trees each and plants them in rows. If the roots are large the three or four trees forming the center of the package are rarely sufficiently cov- ered to keep out the air, and unless the soil is well sifted among the roots when they are planted in this way they invari- FIELD-GROWN ROSIS Over 100 varieties.

(Formerly of Los Angeles.) ably die out or get such a setback that they never fully recover. Another mistake is to heel in stock in a situation where a considerable quantity of water will stand during the season. The dug row in which tiie trees are standing usually acts as a trough and collects all the moisture in the neighbor- hood. This does not apply so particu- larly to sandy soil as it does to heavier soil. Trees should not be left in the trench till they are well out in leaf before trans- planting. If for any reason it is desired to keep them without permanently re- planting, they can be shifted every few- weeks, and in this way kept partially dormant for a couple of months without much injury. 0. SPOKANE, WASH. State of Business. With the first fall of snow the winter season seems fully started and few win- dows display anything but the king of the early winter — the chrysanthemum. Each firm has to be content with a small show of its own, and reading in the trade paper of the combined efforts of our friends in the east to produce the splen- did exhibitions of last week. Those who handle stock grown in the coast cities have had their patience se- verely tried by the flood that has visited the western portion of our state, washing out our railroads, thus causing a sus- pension of all transcontinental traffic for the last eight days. But at this writing we can look for a regular schedule, as those roads severely damaged will bring in their trains over other roads. This disaster has interfered more seriously with the violet trade than with any other part of the business, as the eastern sec- tion of the state does not produce this necessary article. Various Notes. Sanders is handling some choice roses and reports a large amount of funeral work. Armstrong & Wright have an at- tractive display of white and yellow mums and used a quantity in decorating for the Dickson-Dennis wedding. The Spokane Florist Co. is fully estab- lished in its new quarters and has re- cently added a basement store room. The company had a large decoration at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, last week for a banquet, tendered the Masons at the Hotel Idaho. Hoyt Bros, are to be congratulated that they did not suffer a serious loss by the disastrous fire, which occurred next door to them. Kennedy. DOMOTO OF SAN FRANCISCO.

Domoto is the proprietor of an immense greenhouse establishment in .San Fran- cisco and has made a large fortune out of the business, "He landed in the Goldeu Gate city fifteen years ago and opened a small flower store, making the chrysanthemum his specialty. He recently erected a large building which is the headquarters for football players during the season. He is known as an authority on the game and is always in attendanee at the larger contests. When jiu jitsu was first spoken of in this country Domoto demonstrated its usefulness by putting down the cen- ter rush of one of the heaviest teams around the bay. Domoto and Koike were intimate friends in Japan and while making a business trip to Salt Lake the former took occasion to come to Pueblo to visit his friend." The Review is the pusher.— J. G. Angel, Neosho, Mo. 120 The Weekly Florists^ Review NOTEMBEB 29, 1906. RHINEBECK'S VIOLETS. The following is by Samuel J. Thomp- son, of West Chester, Pa,, who recently paid a visit among relatives at Ehine- beck, N. Y.: * * The extension of the violet business is marvelous. Fifteen years ago there were three violet growers in Khinebeek, and a thousand or so square feet of glass covered their plants. The supe- riority of their product created a grow- ing demand and today there are ninety- two owners of violet houses, who care for nearly 500,000 square feet of glass under which are 800,000 plants pro- ducing 35,000,000 flowers annually, at an income of $175,000 for an average season's production. "In the 340 violet houses of that sec- tion more than 300 people are employed, except during the summer, when the young plants require little attention. The average houses are about 24x150 feet, and in each house about 6,000 plants are grown. The average plant yields fifty flowers and good stock aver- ages net to the grower 50 cents per hundred. The first picking is made in September, and the season usually ends in the following April. The Ehinebeck violets are superior to others, because they are larger, have longer stems, a bet- ter color, and a more lasting fragrance. Shipments are made largely to New York city, Chicago, Buffalo and some to Phila- delphia, Detroit and Washington. * ' The soil in that vicinity seems to be just right for the needs of the violets, and the industry seems to be permanently established, with benefit to the com- munity. ' ' ELBERON, N. J. A meeting of the Elberon Horticult- ural Society was held November 19, President Robertson in the chair. There was a large attendance. Two new mem- bers were elected. A number of ques- tions out of the question box tending to the betterment and progress of the so- ciety were discussed. W. D. Robertson was awarded the gold medal presented by George Steele, of the Shrewsbury Nurseries, for the member scoring the highest number of points during the year for exhibits at the regu- lar meetings. A number of beautiful exhibits were staged. W. D. Robertson was awarded a certificate of merit for a magnificent specimen of Microlepia hirta cristata. A. Bauer showed a good vase of Carna- tion Victory. J. Kennedy exhibited some hardy chrysanthemums which were much admired, while F. Dettlinger had some nice vegetables. G. M.

MABELLE NEW PINK CARNATION FOR 1907 Color — A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a faint yellowish cast; several shades lighter than the I-aw- son. Unlike most pinks, the brightest sun does not injure the color. Size— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when established. Odor — Pleasing, but not strong. Sterna— Invariably strong, but always graceful, rang- ing from 12 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, etc.— A very quick, active grower, making specimen plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On ac- count of its rapid growth, requires supporting very soon after benching. Gets away rapidly, blooms early and gives long stems right from the start. Product- iveness—Prodigious is the best word we know of to use here. It is the most incessant bloomer, early and late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. Delivery January 5 to 10 and later. Price tl2.U0 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. THE H. WEBER & SONS CO., Oakland, Md.

Mums are moving slower than last week. Boses are quite plentiful, both pink and white. Amer- ican Beauties are not so abundant and prices arc high. Chrysanthemums are being used for funeral, bouquets, mostly pink and white, although a few yellow have been seen, Violets are scarce and high. The weather has been bad the last week. It has been sleeting and snow- ing all week. This had quite an effect on business. Variotu Notes. R. J. Turner, of Independence, Mo., was in this city this week. He is looking up material to build a large greenhouse for forcing lettuce. Mr. Turner deals in ice in summer and is now to grow let- tuce to sell in winter. A. r. Barbe is cutting some fine mums." He grows Ivory to perfection. Few flor- ists in this city can grow Ivory to any size. Mr. Barbe furnished one of the Walnut street stores 1,000 mums in one day last week. He is also cutting some fine Brides and Maids, and finds a ready sale for such stock. Mr, Barbe does a large Sunday business for the cemetery and has no opposition there. K. S. Brown & Son were almost swamped with funeral work this week. Mr. Fruedenthal reports business to have been quiet last week. Mr. Broman, of Independence, did not sell his greenhouses, as has been stated. Mr. Thornhill, at Eosedale, is about to shut down his greenhouses on account of no water at hand. He grows mostly let- tuce and geraniums. As we have a deep snow, it will help out some, but it is rather uphill work to those who have to haul water. The Alpha Floral Co, will move De- cember 8 to 1105 Walnut street, where it will have quite a large place, with fine show windows. The old place was too small to accommodate the business done. W. H. H. Lancaster, O. — W. E. Gravett con- ducted a chrysanthemum show and sale, November 17, at Hickel's drygoods store. Henderson, Ky. — J. C. Hoffman re- ports business to be good, especially in design work. Carnations and mums are in good demand. Galena, III, — B, F.

Judging by reports from several grow- ers, the last week has been the mum week of the season, both for flowers and orders. All the retailers' windows were decorated with mums of all colors and sizes, and the market was simply glut- ted. No price could tempt a buyer. It is to be hoped that prices will take a decided rise on November 29, so that the day may be a real Thanksgiving for the trade. Eobert Ellis, with Bertermann Bros., has become a benedict, having married Miss Morgan, of Anderson. Miss Morgan was formerly with Stuart & Haugh. E. A. McKeand, florist at the Soldiers ' Home, Marion, was in the city last week shaking hands with his many friends. A. F. J. Bauer and E. Larsen paid a visit to F. Dorner & Sons Co., La Fay- ette, and saw many interesting things among the carnations. The benches of White Perfection were especially fine. The firm has some seedling chrysanthe- mums that will make their mark later. Visitors this week: A. B. Hyatt, of Anderson; George Fulle, of Kichmond, and W. W. Coles, of Kokomo. S. NEW ORLEANS. The opening of the theatrical season, when fashionable society takes a great interest, also race track and balls in ad- vance of the carnival time, is bringing a good demand for flowers and decora- tions. Plants are just now not in much demand, and we are preparing our stock for the holidays and in anticipation of a good spring sale. The markets are gen- erally dull, only foliage plants being dis- posed of. Jules Fonta has been taking the place of E. Baker at the Upper city park. Sev- eral planters from Central America have been visiting the different parks lately. What does not seem to be generally known is that the Ficus elastica, which is grown here in quantity for decorative purposes, is not the kind from which the most of india rubber gum is extracted. They took great interest in the variety of ficus which is kept in the horticultural hall at Audubon park. They promised to forward to the association some exotic plants from Central America in exchange for some of our own production. M. M. L. I take great pleasure in reading the Eeview every week. — Joseph Ferry, Cornwall, Pa. Aurora, III. — The chrysanthemum show, given by the Ladies' Aid Society at the opera house, November 14-16, was a success. The proceeds netting a neat little sum for the society.

The Market Boses are much better, some fine stock, principally Brides and Maids, being seen. The demand for chrysanthemums has steadied down to a large extent, but a great many more were sold last week than heretofore. Some of the best va- rieties are now shown and sell to good advantage. The condition of carnations has not changed to any extent. The best blooms come from outside sources. Home- grown violets are hard to secure. One grower has a fine lot of Gov. Herrick, which are about as fine as any in this section. Trade is reported as being good the latter part of the week with most of the retailers. Many advance orders were booked for Thanksgiving day. St.PauL The store of the Swanson Floral Co. was damaged to some extent by a fire in an adjoining building. A number of palms and other plants were practically ruined and it will be necessary to re- paint the interior of the store. Holm & Olson had the decorations for the Hill wedding at St. Mary's church, also the decorating at the Hill residence. Aug. Swanson was favored with the order for the bouquets for the wedding, which were made of orchids and white violets. J. R. Fotheringham, representing F. K. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., was a caller, showing the Winsor carnation. Minneapolis. An interview with Otto Will, of Will & Son, discloses the fact that their car- nations are doing exceptionally well. In the course of the next ten days or two weeks they will be cutting as fine a lot of Craig as seen in this section for some time. Lady Bountiful is also doing well with them, and they are cutting a large number of roses, which find ready sale. Jas. Souden, of the Donaldson Glass Block, Saturday evening had a handsome bunch of Winsor carnations on display, which were greatly admired by a number of florists. Felix. JOLIET, III. — T. C. Shepherd, for many years superintendent of West park, will leave the management of the park Decem- ber 1. He is a landscape gardener of ability and his thorough knowledge of plant life has made him a man of value to the city. Buffalo, N. Y. — The free chrysanthe- mum show at the South park botanical gardens closed November 19. Many hun- dreds of men, women and children made use of the opportunity to enjoy the show, which is said to have surpassed that of previous years.

Greenhouse Heating. NOT ENOUGH PIPING. I have a greenhouse, 10x20 and ten feet to the ridge, with brick foundation. The north side and west end are papered and clapboarded, the inside sheathed with matched boards. The south side and cast end have glass. The boiler is in the northeast corner. The flow pipe is li/[>-inch, with expansion tank at high- est point. The flow drops three inches, then returns under the bench on the south side, then with a fall of two inches returns to north side, where it divides with a tee into two 1 1^4 -inch pipes. These connect before entering the boiler. Is there enough piping and have I arranged it properly for Wisconsin climate? L. C. P. I think the following plan of piping will be much more satisfactory than what you have installed. In fact, the present piping is not more than half what should be installed for an exposed house with hot water heat in your climate. Starting from the boiler, if it is desirable to use an elevated flow because of doors or other openings, carry a 2-inch flow pipe to the west end, eighteen inches from the roof along the north side, then drop at the northwest corner to a coil made of seven 1^4 -inch pipes which should have a gentle grade, say eight inches from the northwest corner to the boiler. Run this coil under the bench around the three exposed sides of the house. Lay the mani- fold horizontal so the seven pipes will form a gridiron under the bench on the three sides of the house. Place a mani- fold on the end of the seven pipes near the boiler and carry a return from this manifold back to the boiler by a single 114 -inch pipe. To the main return near the boiler connect a %-inch pipe which should run into the bottom of a well elevated expansion tank. Do not connect the expansion tank to the main flow, but place an aircock in the highest point of the main flow. L. C. C. NEEDS A C31ECK- VALVE. We have an eighteen horsepower Huber traction boiler with 4-inch flows for steam and 3-inch returns. The trouble is that when we get up a pressure of steam of about ten pounds it forces the water back through the return pipes until it is all out of the boiler column. Would a check-valve in the 3-inch return pipe work; that is, would the pressure of steam permit it to open enough to let the condensation back into the boiler? Or would the pressure from the boiler be greater so that it would keep the check closed and the condensed steam out of the boiler? Our boiler is about three feet below our coils. We have no steam-trap or anything but gravity to get the water back to the boiler. H..F. Co. The installation of a swing check in the main return near the boiler should prove a decided benefit. It may, how- ever, prove necessary to discharge the condensation into a hot well and return it to the boiler by means of a trap or feed pump unless the boiler can be lowered considerably. If you have valves in the system, close the valves in the re- turn as you begin to fire and keep them closed until the system is hot, then open them and the circulation will be com- WILKS GREENHOUSE HEATERS The Wilks Greenhouse Heaters are all Steel Self>Feedera.

Allow the air vents to remain open a wee bit so as to lead the live steam into the system should it for any reason become cold. These precautions, with a swing check in the return, should remedy the aifficulty unless the diiference in level is not sufficient for a gravity sys- tem. L. C. C. CHANGING TO STEAM. I have three houses, one for mums and plants, 14x60 feet; one for smilax, 14x 60 feet; a carnation house, 14x130 feet, and a lean-to, 6x60 feet. The cellar under the shed in which is the boiler is 7x42 feet. I am now using hot water, but wish to change to steam on account of the length of the carnation house. I have planned to run a 3-inch main in a trench along the cellar wall, branching into each house, with 2-inch flow pipes overhead under the ridge, and return with 114-inch, or l^A-inch pipes under the benches. How many returns will I need in each house with outside temper- ature, at times, 10 to 20 degrees below zero? What horsepower boiler? I in- tend to use a tubular horizontal and want one large enough to carry all the houses if they were extended to 130 feet. C. C. W. The following amount of radiation will be required by each of the houses in question: Violet house, 6x60, five re- turns of 1^4 -inch pipe. The cooler house, 14x60 feet, a 2-inch flow and eight I14- inch returns. The warmer house, 14x60 feet, a 2-ineh flow and nine 114-inch re- turns, while the house 14x130 feet should be provided with a 2-inch riser and eleven 1^4 -inch returns.

The flow gets nicely warm until it comes back for about twenty feet in the returns, about two-thirds of the way, after long firing, then cools off. L. G. B. If I understand your statement cor- rectly, you say the riser is vented to connect with the expansion tank, which is only two feet higher than the highest point in the system. Disconnect the expansion tank from the highest point in the flow, place a small air-cock at this point, which test several times a day to see that there is no air in the system, then elevate the expansion tank eight or ten or even fifteen feet above the highest point in the system, even if you put it out doors on a platform. Run a pipe from the bottom of the ex- pansion tank to the main return near the boiler. A 94 -inch pipe will be large enough. Put a water gauge on the ex- pansion tank and keep at least ten or twelve inches of water in it all the time, except when firing hard, when it will be much deeper. As soon as opportunity will permit have the openings in the boiler enlarged to the full size of the pipes you are using for flow and return. I think the modification of the expan- sion tank will remedy the difficulty to a large extent. L. C. C ti,^ ^OULD not run my business without the Beview.— S. J. Hider, Hillsboro, O.

Stocks at the mills are reported ample, but are not heavy enough to create uneasiness as to the dis- position of the surplus, and manufactur- ers are well satisfied to continue the operation of their mills and pile up the product. Some items, like No. 1 com- mon, are exceedingly scarce and on these an advanced price' of $1 is reported. A few other items are also firmer than list and on the whole there is a strong feeling permeating the cypress trade. Dealers here report moderate stocks on hand and say that they are selling con- siderable sash and dooV stock, tank ma- terial and finish to the woodworking fac- tories, which are large consumers of cypress as it is the best and cheapest of soft woods, only a small part of the output being used for greenhouse build- ing.

Y., has added three houses 55x70 of King construction. There are cement benches for carnations and a Kroeschell boiler heats the whole plant. The sale of mums has been satisfactory. C. A. Dole, of Lockport, N. Y., has prepared for a banner season and be- lieves it is coming. George McClure, the Buffalo landscape architect, is spoken of as being the suc- cessful candidate to survey the banks of the Erie canal, with a view to plant- ing shade trees along the route. He uses a tree-planter combined with a wagon that moves the largest trees with comparative ease. Townsend & Fleming, of Buffalo, re- port big landscape business this fall, having, among other items, the planning and planting of an estate of 600 acres in Connecticut. Superintendent Eoney, of the Lake View Rose Gardens, Jamestown, N. Y., reports big crops of carnations and roses in sight. George L. Graham, of Bradford, Pa., has removed and rebuilt his whole plant and now has a thoroughly up-to-date plant. His stock looks fine, and demand being good he naturally feels optimistic. r. A. Dorman, Jamestown, N. Y., has returned from his hunting trip to find business good and stock well taken care of in his absence. E. W. Worden, of Jamestown, has the sympathy of the craft in the illness of his life partner, who was recently strick- en with paralysis. It is hoped she may soon recover. A chrysanthemum show, the first in Hornellsville, N. Y., in ten years, was given by William A. Wettlin, November 17. He is figuratively kicking himself because he did not think of this before, as many customers, present and pros- pective, said they had no idea he had such a place or such a fine stock. A. W. Woeppel, of Corning, N. Y., has thoroughly established himself in his new location opposite the cemetery. He has about 50,000 feet of glass and sev- eral acres of excellent land. The stock looks well. He is building a handsome residence close to the establishment for the use of his own family, some of whom assist him in the business. W. M.

The Test of Construction HF what use is first-class work- manship and the best mater- ial if the construction of your house is antiquated and out-of- date? There is as much in the style of the 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 con-: strnction details. The first step toward "right construction" is to get our catalogue and estimate. Write now and start right — erect houses that will enable yon to compete with the other fellow.

One boiler may have a grate that cuts out the ashes in an ** improved ** way, and by the same token it will have more ashes to cut out. The more coal you bum, the more the ashes- but do these ashes mean an equivalent in heat? We can prove to you that the Hitchings boiler is the best greenhouse boiler— prove it by what it has proven for others* HITCHINGS AND CO. GREENHOUSE DESIGNERS AND BUILDERS.

Take for in- stance, your windows — u-sAH would a small window with small panes and heavy fram- ing set off your flowers attractively — would it give that sweep and effect of distance so essential to per- fect flower displaying? So you put in the right kind of front, but spoil the advertising effect by an unat- tractive, small glassed, dmgy show- room greenhouse. You lose your inside grip on your customer.

That being settled, the next question is, who will build it and what construction shall it be ? The best thing to do is to get together all the greenhouse catalogs and circulars you can, go into them carefully and see if the thorough way we treat our houses, our constructions are not conclusive proof of the kind of things we do.

Zvolanek cau- tioned us to look out for a green worm that would be liable to eat the young, tender growths of our sweet peas. It has arrived, along with the first blos- soms on the plants, the seeds of which were sown in the beds August 22. You can hurry the time of flowering very little by fire heat. Every ray of sun- shine must have full play on the house, with ventilation on all possible occa- sions, and plenty of water at the roots. Hellebore sprinkled on the foliage, or a weak solution of Paris green, may de- stroy the worm, but I would prefer a safer plan: to look over the vines every morning and pick off the worms. Jn appearance it is much like the green worm so destructive to our mignonette in the month of September. If the soil in the beds is only five or six inches deep, and well drained, then a mulch of well rotted manure will help. Another attention is the necessity of keeping the leading shoots faithfully tied up to the strings. It is from the top of the leading growths you get your first and most valuable flowers, and if these growths are allowed to droop, the flower stems will assert their natural right to look up to the light, and you will have crooked stems, much impaired in value. As soon as you have a low bed or bench of chrysanthemums entirely cut out, you can plant it with another crop of sweet peas. For this purpose you •should have sown a few seeds in 3-inch pots a month ago. If planted now they will be in full bearing by Easter. It is better to trust to the special winter- flowering kinds, for the old standard varieties, like Emily Henderson and Blanche Ferry, will hardly be in full flower for this early Easter. Late Chrysanthemums. Mums have had their brief but glori- ous day, and most florists will say to them, farewell, but not for ever. Yet I notice a few old varieties looking fine and a promise of good cutting for at least two weeks to come. They are the pure white Convention Hall, that splen- did pink, Helen Frick, and that fine rich yellow, Nagoya. Our specialist will tell you of other and perhaps more valuable late flowers, but these three varieties are fine late kinds and easy to grow. Many florists occupy a great deal of space on their benches with mums, and if it were not that we could fill up with lilies, azaleas, Boston ferns and other Easter stock, the mums would not be profitable in the least; but florists with- in easy driving distance of a city can always find stock to fill up the space when the mums are cut and gone. Empty the Mum Benches. This reminds me of something I often see done, and which always produces irritation. It is the leaving on the bench the four or five inches of soil in which the chrysanthemums grew. The ^nit^do it because they want to use tntf^il during the winter or spring. The excuse is that they have not the time to remove it; can't spare the labor. This is not a valid excuse. If it is es- sential and better for the plants to come that the soil be removed, it should be done at any inconvenience. Do you think it is good treatment to put a lily, an azalea, a hybrid rose or cyclamen in this greasy bed of soil? Not only is it most ungardenerlike and cruel to the eye. but it ruins the soil for future use until it has had the atmosphere and frosts of another winter. Get it out and dump it in a shallow and narrow pile, where the frosts of winter will penetrate every par- ticle of the pile. If left there till the sun and winds of May have left it mel- low, most useful this old soil will be. Uses for the Soil. Most likely it was good, fresh soil when you put it on the benches last spring, and to it you added, perhaps, a liberal quantity of animal manure and some bone-dust which is not yet all dis- solved. In the spring the old soil will do for filling your vases, veranda boxes, for tulips next fall, and for many of your soft-wooded bedding plants. City florists are continually being asked for such soil for a dressing for lawns, and spring would be mud, I thought of a piece of tarred roofing paper under each pot. The crop placed on the bench was Bermuda Easter lilies in G-inch pots. The paper was cut in 6-inch squares antl placed under each pot. The worms were safely excluded, and with careful water- ing the soil was not overwet. The fumes of tar are not healthy to plant life, but there was little of it, and no harm was done. In this way the soil was pre- served in good order, and you must ex- cuse me while I finish this earthy story, the program of which was laid out in a more or less feeble mind months before its performance. Easter that year was extremely early, March 25. Lilies were all in and sold, and on March 27 two "old bosses," including the writer, spread a heavy dressing of bone-meal on the surface of the bed and then forked it over. April 1 we planted the bed with a fine lot of young American Beauty roses. I must now cut this story short, and will only say that it was the best strike and the brightest piece of inspiration that ever fell on us. So if impossible to remove the soil when your mums are cut, do something both for the benefit of the plants in pots and to preserve the use- fulness of the soil. Crops to Follow Mums. You may have some crops waiting -to occupy some of these beds. Here are a few. If you have calla lilies in pots you will get large flowers and large quantities by planting them out. They should be on a low bed, with plenty of headroom. If you have any antirrhi- nums propagated in silmmer, either from cuttings or seed, plant them on a raised bench where they will get full light and Conservatory of Jacob Schulz^ Louisville. you are justified in charging a good, big price that will more than pay all the cost of removing it from the benches now. A Way of Escape. With the intention of using the soil on the bench the following spring, and fully aware that if I stood the pots on the soil its physical condition in the plenty of air. A more important crop would be dahlias. They, too, should have headroom, perfect light and plenty of water. About 55 degrees at night will suit them. If planted by the middle of December they will be in flower by Easter. 1 don't pretend to be posted on the best forcing varieties, although we grew fifty feet of a bench two years ago and found a ready sale for all we 148 The Weekly Florists' Review* DbcembBr 0, 1906. could cut. Some large firms in the east make a specialty of prepared roots of dahlias for forcing, which are much bet- ter for the purpose than roots lifted from the ground as recently as last October. The single, cactus and pompon dahlias are best for forcing. Leave the large show class for outdoors. I have already alluded to sweet peas as a crop to succeed a bench of mums. If you have not got them already started in pots, then sow them in the bed where they are to flower, and sow the old standard sorts, such as Emily Hender- son, Blanche Ferry, Countess of Eadnor, Catherine Tracy, and others. These Borts will not flower before the middle of April in our dark, stormy winter, but from then on for two months they pay well and thousands can be picked. So after all you may not have many benches to empty. I hope not, for it's heavy work and college graduates don 't take to it kindly. They would rather kick another fellow 's head off at football.

A summing up of the reports of Thanksgiving trade makes it clear that the retail business was better than ever before for this holiday. There is no point from which retailers fail to report most satisfactory business, but at the principal wholesale centers there is re- port of no great increase in the demands upon those markets. As is usually the case, growers at the approach of the holiday had made preparation for supply to meet a greater demand than material- ized. Thanksgiving is a good day for florists everywhere, but it is not a day that calls for greatly increased supplies, IT which will warrant sharp increases in A LOUISVILLE VETERAN. Jacob Schulz has been in business at Louisville, Ky., for thirty years. He has met with uninterrupted success dur- ing all that period and has kept in step with the progress of the times, now oc- cupying one of the handsomest stores in the country, with facilities second to none for handling the best class of trade. The accompanying illustrations show the exterior and interior of the store at 644 Fourth avenue, which Mr. Schulz built for his own occupancy. The store is large and well equipped with all the facilities necessary for a large and steadily growing business. The entire store has mosaic and tile flooring, all the store is of inestimable value, for it aflords not only facilities for the stor- age of plants for decorations, but also for the display of stock at holiday sea- sons. Without a conservatory an up-to- date florist labors under decided disad- vantages. This one is well finished, dry and perfectly clean. One of the other pictures shows a por- tion of the range of greenhouses on the Cherokee road. There are twenty houses in the range, devoted to the production of bedding stock, plants for the holi- day seasons, and also to the growing of cut flowers, but Mr. Schulz finds it im- possible to grow anywhere near all the stock required for his trade. He is among the large buyers in the wholesale markets outsiae of Louisville. Mr. Schulz is a believer in liberal ad- vertising and has published in the Louis- ville newspapers some of the most unique advertisements ever printed by any flo- rist. He has made use of the jcolor processes to obtain, even if at consider- able expense, a showing which could not be overlooked by anyone who so much as glanced at the page. He has used special designs showing flowers in colors. NEW TABLE DECORATION. The firm of Wilhelm Schiedt, whole- sale hollow glass merchants, Leipzig, says a German trade paper, has brought into commerce a glass decoration in empire style that consists of small crystal vases connected with one another by means of chains of glass. These can be employed in any desired number, and even with so few as six vases and chains and a few flowers, these form a charming decora- tion for a dinner table. The so-called Cricklight lamps, in the same style, har- monize well with the vases, and covered Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Schulz. the prices. This year the demand upon wholesale markets was undoubtedly affected by the large supplies of chrysanthemums which were general throughout the country. Every man who produces any portion of his own sup- plies was largely stocked up with mums and it was inevitable that first efforts should be toward the disposal of them. the fixtures being white. The best of stock is carried and in large quantities. The store front presents a most unique appearance, the window having a rounded section in the center which permits of an unusual display. In the picture, Mr. Schulz himself is seen standing in the doorway. The large conservatory at tne rear of with silk shades having pearl fringes, and with pictures, or not so decorated, heighten greatly the general effect. Dallas, Tex. — W. L.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* J49 THE FLORISTS' CALENDAR. There are several s{)ec'ial occasions in the business year of the florist, and be- ginning in the order of the calendar these important occasions are as follows: New Year's day, upon which date many thousands of floral tokens of regard are delivered to maid and matron, and not only to these representatives of the femi- nine contingent, but also to the heads of corporations and various other offi- cials, both state and national. Next in order comes St, Valentine's day, and the giving of flowers and flowering plants on this tender occasion has most wonderfully increased of late years; in fact, to such a degree has this custom already attained in some of our large cities that it seems almost like an echo of Christmas time to many of the flor- ists. Then comes that greatest of flower festivals, Eastertide, a period that is the most satisfying and withal the most trying of the whole year to the florist, for great quantities of perishable flow- ers and flowering plants must be so timed and prepared as to be at the height of their perfection for that one week. All this preparation must be made regardless of the weather, and timed differently each year, on account of Easter being a movable feast, and as such only recurring upon a similar date at long intervals. After this comes the summer routine work of the florist, and the summer vaca- tions of his customers, and it is some times darkly hinted that the unpaid florist's bill from the preceding winter and spring has provided the necessary lucre for the said vacation. But, of course, this is only liearsay, and there are doubtless but few people mean enough to take advantage of an inno- cent florist. And after what are called "the melancholy days" have come, and at the end of ' ' brown November, ' ' the swift passage of time brings us to our national Thanksgiving season, and we are reminded that this period is one of great importance to housewives, to tur- keys and to florists, the one other great flower season that is included in our list for the year being Christmas. This festival utilizes great quantities of flow- ers and plants, and means much anxiety for the florist, owing to the difficulties of safe delivery during midwinter weath- er, and in addition to this there may be, and frequently is, a scarcity of some kinds of stock with a corresponding stiff- ening of the wholesale jirices. This variation in prices for cut flow- Store of Jacob Schulz, Louisvi'Ie, Ky. ers is a frequent source of trouble among dealers and customers, for many of the latter do not realize the fact that flow- ers are a commodity, dealt in by cut- flower commission houses to the anunmt of millions of dollrtrs every year, and that these commission dealers keep a close watch upon the supply and demand, with the natural result that prices are subject to change from time to time in accordance with trade conditions. — \V.

It is due the divine flower to give it every advantage possible that will pre- serve or increase its vigor, there being no better place to begin than with propagation. This operation may be said to be the starting point in carna- tion culture. It is here especially that the grower must use keen observation and no ordinary judgn.ent in the selec- tion of cuttings and treatment during their stay in the sand. Of course it is essential that strong, healthy cuttings be procured and just as much so that provision be made for means V)y which to root them properly. It may seem persistent on my part to dwell at length on the subject of a brick bottom for the propagatinij bencli, but experience having clearly j)roved its laced at such distance ai)art as to furnish every brick a bearing of abinit one inch on each end. Lay flat any number of bricks wide that may be decided upon, using no mortar or cement ; sides of same ma- terial set edgewi.se cemented end to end and on bottom. New brick make a neater job and can be more quickly put in place, but for all practical purposes are no better than second-hand ones that have been kept clean and dry. Oven- burnt or crooked brick, otherwise known as swell-bellies, are unsuitable, not being unifoim in shape or porosity.

Add the sulphur at the time of slaking the lime, when the mixture is boiling most violently, as by this means a por- tion is dissolved, forming a sulphur solu- tion ; consecpiently when applied, the bricks in absorbing the liquid must take into' their pores a certain amount of sulphur, a condition wliicii would not obtain if simply stirred in the ; wash w hen cold or hike warm.

This same wash is recommended for use on the ordinary wood-bottomed bench, though it is obvious that the best results would be gained by its use on new lumber. The principal advantages of the brick-bottomed bench are, its perfect drainage and the uniform, mild heat given off by the bricks, beneath which are placed the heating pipes. I venture the opinion that those who cling to the belief that carnation cut- tings should be given no bottom heat whatever, would be shaken in their faith were they to make a comparative test of results, using this style of bench. We sometimes hear the advice to change the sand, or at least remove and replace with fresh an inch of the surface after rooting a batch of cuttings. In the absence of full details regarding the conditions and management of the dif- ferent benches in use, this is certainly safe advice, but I see no reason why the same sand cannot be used during one whole propagating season — a subject for another lesson. Geo. S. Osborn. CARNATION- NOTES.- VEST. All About Cuttings. Selecting the cuttings is an important part of the operation. Only first-class cuttings should be put into sand. Any other kind will only cause disappoint- ment and loss later on. No cutting should be taken from a plant that is not healthy and no cutting should be taken from a plant when in a wilted condition. The best time to take off cuttings is in the first half of the morning or on Keep them in a cool place from the time they are taken from the plants until they are in the sand and always keep them moist. It is generally agreed that the best cutting is the young break that is made after a flower stem is cut. Most varie- ties break around the lower part of the flower stem before the bloom is cut and many of these young shoots are large enough to make splendid, strong cut- tings, even before the bloom is out. A few varieties, however. Lady Bountiful for instance, will give you no cuttings until the bloom is cut. Don't take the shoots from too high up on the stem, they are no good. You will notice that on the upper part of the flower stem the young shoots will have perhaps an inch of stem before any leaves begin. Avoid all such, as they will never make good, strong plants. Young blooming shoots that have not begun to run up make very good cut- tings and we do not hesitate to use them when we are desirous of increasing the stock as much as possible. If you have a limited number of some fine variety, of which you want to make all you can, and if you are thoroughly satisfied that it is what you think, then it will pay you to top back all the bloom- ing shoots in order to encourage the young shoots to come sooner. Do not cut down the whole plant at one time, but allow the shoots to show the bud to a certain stage and then top it back about half way down the stem. In a few days a few more will be ready to cut back, and in this way you will not check the plant so severely and the plant will always have a fair amount of growth coming on. The cuttings will mature better, too. Do not feed such plants very strongly, either. Store of Jacob Schuiz, Louisville^ Ky. cloudy days. Then the cuttings are crisp and fresh and it is easier to keep them so than when they are wilted to start with. Lay some damp paper in the bottom of your basket for the cut- tings to lie on and sprinkle with cool water as soon as you have filled the basket and cover over with damp paper. Select your cuttings of about an even size as far as possible. An even lot of cuttings will make an even lot of plants. It pays much better to put in two batches of cuttings two weeks apart, and all of an even size, than to put in one large batch of cuttings, some good and some too young and soft. A cutting does not need to be extra large to be strong, but it should be of fair size and of such a kind as will gather strength find grow into a strong plant. We do not trim our cuttings as much these days as we did years ago. Use a sharp knife to make a clean cut at the bottom and remove only such leaves as will sever from the stem without leaving any stub. Then trim back such leaves as turn outward or downward so that all the leaves that remain will point upward. Take off about one-third of the leaves that you trim, or less, as occasion may demand. You will soon learn by a little practice. Some varieties may not need any trimming at all more than the clean cut at the bottom. After having taken off a lot of cut- tings get them into the sand as quickly as possible. Lying around, even though they may be kept moist, does them no good. A. F. J. Baur. DIET OF THE CARNATION. This is a modern age and an age in which inquiry is being made into the reason of things. The day is rapidly passing when one can sit passively by and let things take their natural course or unnatural course, as the case may be. It is being proved, even to the most skeptical florist, that to make equal suc- cess with his competitors he must use all the best and latest cultural methods known. The man who is raising live stock will first consider a place for the stock to be kept in, and then the feed that they will require to sustain life and growth. The florist must and does consider the housing of his carnations first. He should next consider the feed he is going to give these carnations to bring them to best maturity. How many florists are there who seriously consider the feeding of their plants? Is it any wonder that they are always saying that Smith or Jones must have a soil much superior to theirs? Now to come down to the bottom of things, is it the superiority of Jones' soil itself, or is it the plant food that Jones adds to his soil, that counts? I am of the opinion that the food is the important factor in many cases, and will tell you why. Plants must feed just as surely as man himself. Man chooses his food, such as steak, potatoes, pie, etc., and insists on having a variety. The carnation insists on a variety, too, such as nitrogen, phos- phoric acid, potash, and does not grow well if it fails to get it. The maA wants the thing that he gets the least of — the pie, for instance. The carnation seems to run along the same perverse lines, and what it craves, and seldom gets its proper share of, is potash. jNow, how does it happen that the carnation and many other plants go lack- ing for this important food, potash? It is not because the potash is more expen- sive than the other foods, as bone meal, because the fact is that potash costs no more than phosphoric acid and only about one-third as much as nitrogen. It is because the carnation can't call out through a megaphone, "Potash! Pot- ash I ' ' but must sit down and sulk and refuse to grow until it does get it. The florist knows that the carnation doesn't grow properly, but he is frequently in the dark as to the why. The chemist now comes to the florist's aid in this extremity. When he analyzes the carnation he finds that a single plant removes from the soil in one growing iipqpi|ra"i wnfimwiP '■I"!."'"' ,1'u.^;" December 6, 1906.

It can easily be seen from a comparison of these re- movals that the carnation must have as a diet nearly twice as much potash as nitrogen and about five times as much potash as phosphoric acid. Now, as bone meal, the common fer- tilizer used by florists, contains no pot- ash, and animal manures contain it in far too small proportions, it is as plain as the nose on your face that the carna- tion grower should satisfy the cravings of his carnations by giving them a liberal ration of potash. Thia can be provided through any of the potash salts, such as muriate of potash or sulphate of potash or from the best grades of bone and pot- ash fertilizer. L. S. Hasselman. SOFTWOOD ASHES. I have a lot of wood ash«s from soft wood, such as old bench lumber and willow trees. Will it do to use on carna- tions if I use a little more of it? Is it a good things to mix lime with wood ashes? J. W. I do not know the relative strength of hard and soft wood ashes, but I can see no reason why you should not use the soft wood ashes with good effect. Instead of using them in heavier appli- cations, I would apply the same amount in each application, and, if deemed ad- visable, after seeing the effects of the first application you can apply it oftener. I would not advise mixing lime and wood ashes. Not that it would be harm- ful, but because nothing would be gained by it. Both have practically the same effect on the plants and the soil, except that the ashes affect the plants quicker and the lime acts more on the soil. Use them separately and substitute one for the other occasionally if considered ad- visable. A. F. J. B. POOR STEM AND CALYX. I inclose a sample of my carnations. They burst and have leaf-spot. I have treated them with sulphur and lime as directed in the Review, October 11. They grow finely and bloom freely, but the stems are weak. I gave them lime last week. When should I give them lime again? T. E. You do not say what variety the bursted bud was taken from, and so I cannot tell you whether the fault is in your culture or whether it is character- istic of the variety and cannot be pre- vented altogether. You might reduce the bursting considerably by holding the temperature as evenly as possible, avoid- ing all sudden changes, and also in the watering. Keep them just a trifle on the dry side and do no feeding until the days get longer and lighter again. Since your stems are already weak, I would not advise you to raise the tem- perature above 52 degrees at night, and 6 degrees warmer on cloudy days and 15 degrees warmer on silnny days. Also, don't raise too quickly in the morning Our clearing sale Bulb adv. in the Special Autumn Number of m brought us three times as many orders as we could fill; and they arc still coming.

Do not apply the lime oftener than once each month. If this does not seem suflBcient, then procure some hard wood ashes; they affect the stems quicker than lime. A. F. J. B. Flatbush, N.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. Carnations Registered. James D. Cockroft, Northport, N. Y., registers the following varieties: Harvard — A cross between Prosperity and Maceo; color glowing crimson, just the Harvard color; size, three and one- half to four inches; calyx non-bursting; stiff" stems, averaging thirty inches in length from early fall to spring. Has an exceptionally clean habit and is a free bloomer. Georgia — A cross between Prosperity and Morning Glory; color, clear white; size> three and one-half to four inches; calyx does not burst; strong stems, twenty-four to thirty inches in length. An exceptional keeper, with a growth where every shoot produces a flower, and is very fragrant. Faust — A cross between Maceo and Morning Glory; color, bnght scarlet; size, two and one-half to three inches; strong calyx which will not burst; strong, stiff stem, two to three feet in length. A good, clean grower, producing flowers all the time. About a month ago, Stevenson Bros., of Govanstown, Md., registered with this society a carnation under the name of Debutante. This registration was made early in the week, but in order that reg- istrations may appear in all of the trade papers simultaneously, the secretary holds all registrations received during the week until Saturday, and they then appear the following week. On account of this delay of one week, another carnation ap- peared in print under the name of Debu- tante, although it was not registered with any society. This, of course, gave this carnation precedence in print, and as the owner thereof would not consent to change the name, Stevenson Bros, have kindly consented to change the name of theirs in order that there may be no con- fusion in the trade. They now register their carnation under the name of Splen- dor, a very pretty shade of pink, large flower, good calyx, stiff stem, extremely prolific and a grand keeper. Albert M. Herr, Sec'y.

This was raised in the establishment of that eminent rosarian. Dr. Miiller, at Weingarten, in Wurtemburg, and was placed in ('(nn- merce in 1904. From its behavior in my garden this season, says a writer in the (lardeners*^ Magazbie, it promises to sus- tain the already /good reputation borne by the other productions of this raiser. Though classed as a hybrid tea, its habit and extremely tloriferous character would lead one to suspect that it is a close relative of the Chinas, and this appears quite probable. The flowers are most (leliciously scented, and their coloring — a pure retldish scarlet, without a sus- picion of carmine or amaranth — far surpasses both that of Lady Battersea or Liberty in effect. The long, pointed buds are held on stiff, upright stalks, and open into perfectly shaped blossoms of moderate size. Not the least distinctive feature is the luxuriant foliage, which is a dark purplish green, and a fine con- trast to the vivid hue of the flowers. It seems quite probable that when it has recovered from the effects of over-proj)a- gation it will develop more vigor. POTTING THE CUTTINGS. As soon as the cuttings have obtained roots half an inch in length they should be potted without delay. If the cuttings are allowed to stand in the cutting bench after they are ready for potting the roots begin to run in search of food and, finding nothing but water, they soon mature and become useless for the sup- port of the young plant. When the roots attain such a large size they are always more or less destroyed in the t)peration of potting. The soil for potting should be passed through a screen of half-inch mesh, so that the young rootlets may have a close bed of soil around them. The quality of soil to be used is of the utmost importance. It should be a good, fri- able loam with a little clay mixture, if possible, and with no fresh manure in it. The soil left over at planting time, if it has been properly cared for since, is in just tlie right condition for young stock. Two-inch standard pots are large enough for a first potting. These pots should be clean outside and inside, es- pecially inside, so that at repotting time the balls may be turneG.

It was designed that this bu- reau should handle as a collection agency all the bad accounts contracted by the members of the league, should keep a record of the undesirable buyers who do not pay their bills, and should at stated intervals report to the trade their names as a warning against taking on business with them. This, then, was the inception of the present Bureau of Credit of the Whole- sale Seedsmen's League, a bureau that has now for five years worked untiringly in the interests of the trade, and which has proved itself to be a most valuable adjunct to every firm privileged to make use of its facilities. While in the beginning the Bureau of Credit was intended to limit its opera- tions to the members of the Wholesale. Seedsmen's League, it proved to be such* a practical help to the members of that organization that the advisability was discussed of extending its operations to embrace that portion of the seed trade not represented in the membership of the Wholesale Seedsmen's League. This move was thought so well of that in 1903 the directors of the league brought the bureau and its work to the notice of the American Seed Trade Association, invit- ing the members of that body to make use of its facilities. The advantages were so plainly manifest to the officers of the American Seed Trade Association that they promptly accepted the offer and took the steps necessary to admit their membership to the use of the bu- reau's services. That was some three years ago, since when the bureau has worked for members of both the Whole- sale Seedsmen's League and the Ameri- can Seed Trade Association, covering through their combined memuership prac- tically the whole seed trade. Florists Membership Sucfgested* Now, it has long impressed the di- 156 The Weekly Florists' Review* Dkckmbkk (}, 15)06. rectors of the league that this system, which has jtroved such a decided success in the seed trade, ouglit with equal suc- cess to be extended to embrace the allied florists ' trade, and to work just as satis- factorily for them as it does for the seedsmen; that its work covering both of these somewhat related trades ought to make it more valuable to the members of each. And in this connection 1 may say that the matter also has been dis- cussed with officers of the American As- sociation of Nurserymen, and it is lfopeerre & Co., Wethersfield, Conn.; Albert McCullough, of J. M. McCullough Sons Co., Cincin- nati. I am sure the fact that the bureau is under the direct supervision of these men will sufficiently indicate its character and that steps soon will be taken to bring about co-operation between all branches of the trade. In fact, I feel sure that the facilities of the bureau thus being open to the florists will be an added, in- ducement to florists doing a wholesale business to keep up their membership in the S. A. F. ROMNEYA COULTEEI. Those who are not conversant with Komneya Coulteri should lose no time in procuring it, choosing a suitable site, and growing it well. It is the magnificence of its blossoms individually rather than the number it produces at one time that renders the plant so interesting, and blooms seven inches in diameter are com- mon on vigorous plants. The pure .white, crinkled petals, set off in the center by a deep yellow mass of anthers, have a pleasing appearance, and like all poppies, the blooms suddenly burst into full beauty, especially during a bright, morn- ing. The perfume, too, is distinct and pleasing, quite different from the ordi- nary aroma emitted by the papaver family. Plants should be procured established in pots, as they are impatient of root disturbance; turn them out carefully, and dp riot plant too deep, pressing the soil firmly about the roots and keeping it moist until growth is fairly on the way, when abundance of moisture, both over the leaves after a hot day and at the roots will create a luxuriant growth, without which it is useless to expect good flowers.

OBITUARY. Albert Zimmerman. I Albert Zimmerman, of Pasadena, Cal., died on the train while traveling in southern Arizona. He was, in company with his wife, returning from Tucson, where they had been for some time, hop- ing to get relief for Mr. Zimmerman, who has long been a sufferer from lung trouble. The funeral was held from his late residence, Sunday, November 25, and was largely attended by his former associates and friends. Mr. Zimmerman was the superintend- ent of parks in Pasadena for years. His host of friends mourn his loss, as he was an able, industrious student of na- ture and a noble, kind-hearted man. Gcotgt EUwaoger. George Ellwanger, senior member of the firm of Ellwanger & Barry, Koch- ester, whose reputation as a horticultur- ist and nurseryman was international, died November 26, aged 90 years. George Ellwanger was born at Gross- Heppach, in Wurtemberg, Germany, December 2, 1816. The place of his nativity was one of the grape producing valleys of that region. It was there that his youth was spent and there he laid the foundation for his long and useful career in the domain of fruits and flow- ers. Kecognizing his natural tastes his parents placed him for five years in a leading horticultural establishment at Stuttgart, where he perfected his knowl- edge of horticulture and landscape gar- dening. Mr. Ellwanger came to the United States in 1835. He first went to Tiffin, O., but soon located at Eochester. He first entered the establishment of Rey- nolds & Bateham, whom he bought out in 1839. Mr. Ellwanger spared no pains or expense in procuring the choicest stock, and he applied from the outset those methods of sterling integrity which made for the great celebrity quickly attained by the Mount Hope Nurseries and gained for them a reputation throughout the world which has been maintained in all of the intervening years. In the year 1840 Mr. Ellwanger formed a business partnership with the late Patrick Barry, which continued until Mr. Barry's death in 1890. It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of Mr. Ellwanger 's in- fluence on the horticultural interests of not only western New York, but of the entire United States. No other person in the country has introduced so many new varieties of trees and plants as Mr. Ellwanger. Among the many innova- tions which he introduced were dwarf apple and pear trees, and he introduced among many other celebrated varieties of fruits the Northern Spy apple. He also literally revolutionized methods -of pruning fruit trees, applying scientific processes which have now been univer- sally adopted. It is probable that to George Ell- wanger more than to any other indi- vidual Eochester is indebted for its material prosperity, for the value of the industry which he established is beyond computation. Great as is the industry \ \ George Ellwaoger. with which his name will be ever con- nected, it was not alone to horticulture and kindred subjects that he gave his attention. He was prominently con- nected with the early and late fortunes of the Flower City. He was president of the Ellwanger & Barry Nursery Co. and the Ellwanger & Barry Realty Co., first vice-president of the Reynolds Li- brary and vice-president of the Powers Hotel Co. He was a director in five banks and intimately connected with other commercial institutions. He was one of the promoters of the first street railway and was also closely identified with and a director of the Eastman Co. He was a life member of the American Pomological Society, the New York State Agricultural Society and the Western New York Horticultural Society, and was a corresponding member of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. His benefactions have been munificent and during all of his long . and active life he was interested in every move- ment which made for the betterment of Rochester and its citizens. It will not be forgotten that the firm of Ellwanger «& Barry gave to Rochester Highland park. Although Mr. Ellwanger 's business life was active and engrossing, he al-' ways found time for culture and exten- sive reading. It "was Mr. Ellwanger 's custom until about four or five years ago to celebrd;te his birthday by having a gathering of his friends, to .whom he gave a reception and banquet. Al- though his mind remained clear, he was something of an invalid during the last few years, and only immediate relatives came to observe his birthday at his Mount Hope avenue home. Mr. Ellwanger was a communicant of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. In 1846 he married a daughter of General Mical Brooks, one of the pioneers of western New York. Mrs. Ellwanger died about two years ago. Of his four sons, three are deceased, \villiam D. Ellwanger is a resident of Rochester. DISEASE OF REX BEGONIAS. The cultivation of the Rex begonias is not so general as was formerly the case, notwithstanding the few difficulties at- tending it ; and moreover, the plants have suffered from the infestation of a mite which, if its ravages are unchecked, dis- figures the leaves and main ribs, and checks expansion of the leaf. According to a writer in a German gardening jour- nal of recent date, these minute crea- tures first infest the folded-up young leaves, and call attention to their pres- ence in the rusty-brown galleries or bor- ings, and the crippled appearance of the jplant. These affected leaves and points must be removed; and as soon as a re- newal of growth takes place the plant is not further liable to attack, unless as a consequence of a check, or exposure to a dry atmosphere. Other species of begonia suffer equally with the Rex varieties, as B. ricinifolia, B. metallica, etc. Good ventilation, warmth, and moisture produc- ing freedom of growth are said to be con- ditions unfavorable to infestation. / (58 The Weekly Florists' Review* December 6, 1906.

The white paper consumed in printing the November issues of the Review weighed just 22,200 pounds, or eleven and one-tenth tons. If the sheets of paper had been laid upon the ground, their edges touching, they would have covered just 1,221,166 5-6 square feet, or a little over twenty-seven and one- half acres. If the sheets had been laid end to end as they came from the press it would have made a strip of paper twenty-four and three-quarters inches wide and 112 1-5 miles long. If the completed copies had been stacked one upon another it would have made a pile* 422 feet high, or half again as high as a twenty-story office building. THE READERS' CORNER. Transportation Charges. Will you allow us a little space in your valuable paper for what we con- sider the good of the trade? Of late there has been much said in regard to express rates, of which we have no little trouble. In four out of five shipments that come to us the rate is too high, but the express is not all. We find that the railroads are just as eager to charge double rates and collect them if they can. We have recently had goods come to us that should be classed under, and the classified rate book so states, fourth- class, yet they billed them double first- class. Now this occurs often and it is not because the transportation company does not know better, but because they try to get all they can, while we may do the best we can to obtain relief. ■ We would suggest that every house doing a shipping business see to it that all goods sent out be forwarded under the lowest class possible, and have the class so specified plainly on the bill of lading. There are many houses, some of which we deal with, which simply dump the goods at the depot and say nothing abgut class and take the bill of lading for same. Of course, that is just the bill of lading of the railroads. It is then their business to bill them under the highest possible class. In this fast age it behooves us as florists to look out for one another. J. L. O'QuiNN & Co. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. "Congress appropriated 4>', 175,690 for the maintenance of the department of agriculture for the year ended June 30, 1906. This was $1,081,150 more than the appropriation for the preceding year. For the current year (ending June 30, 1907) congress appropriated $9,210,440 for the regular work of the department. The increase is chiefly due to the broad- ening of the meat inspection. For that service the permanent appropriation is $3,000,000. The estimated revenues of $700,000 from sales of products of the forests reserves and $780,934.68 avail- able for the new buildings bring the total amount to be disbursed by this de- partment during the current year up to $10,691,374.68. * * The number of persons on the rolls of the department of agriculture on July 1, 1906, was, outside of Washington, 4,648 ; in Washington, 1,594 ; total, 6,242, showing an increase during the year of 796. Of the total number, more than 1,800 have been on the rolls for six years or longer. In ihe classified service 917 were promoted in salary and class, and 403 resigned. "The act approved February 9, 1903, authorizing an appropriation of $1,500,- 000 for segments of a new building, made possible the beginning of the construc- tion of suitable quarters for the accom- modation of the department. The work has now progressed, with the exception of the interior finish, to approximately the fourth-floor line, and it is probable that the roof will be on before the win- ter season. The roofing and closing in will allow the interior work to be car- ried on during the winter without inter- ruption, which, without unforeseen com- plications, will insure the completion of operations within the contract time — namely, November 14, 1907. "The estimated growth ot the depart- ment, made at the time the appropria- tion for the new building was approved, has been greatly exceeded. This rapid increase will require other segments of the proposed buildings to be constructed before the department will have sufficient and suitable accommodations for its work and before the large amount paid annually for rentais can be substantially decreased. ' ' CHINESE PRIMROSES. Will you please tell me whether Chinese primroses will seed early enough for next spring's sowing if they are in bud and bloom now? Will they fertilize themselves without bees to carry the pollen? In what temperature and under what general conditions should plants be kept? C. F. M. To answer the first question, we say that if they are in full bloom now you can have the seed ripe by the last part of May or middle of June, and that is as early as desirable for sowing primu- las. The principal observance in saving seed of the primula in the dark days of winter is to put the plants on a shelf where the atmosphere is dry, where they will get every passing ray of sunshine and a free circulation of air. On a bench but a few feet from the ground you will have poor results. A little artificial fertilizing of the flowers will help. If you want new colors in the flowers, then, with a clean and dry camel 's-hair brush, remove the pollen of one variety to the stigma of another flower and if you want your plants to be prolific in seed-bearing, introduce the pollen of the florets to the stigma. Look over your plants every morning and perform this little opera- tion. Above all, keep your seed-bearing plants up near the glass. Plants bear- ing fruit or seed will always show signs of decay earlier than those bearing no seeds, which is a law of nature, proving that reproduction is the greatest of life 's functions. As the plants show a ripen- ing of foliage and loss of chlorophyl, withhold water gradually until the seed- pods are ripe and pick off each ripe seedpod as soon as ripe, or it may burst open and scatter its seeds where you cannot find them.

Mention The ReTlew when yon write. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. By Monday of this week the market already was feeling the revival conse- quent upon the departure of the chrysanthemum. Not that there are no more mums, for considerable quantities still are to be marketed, but compara- tively speaking their season is over. There are quantities of small, weak stock, but nothing like such an avalanche as came in a week ago. Beally good mums now are hard to find and it looks as though the late sorts will bring equally as good prices as prevailed dur- ing the first month of the mum season. During the height of the season prices certainly have been in the buyers' favor. The increase in the demand for roses Avas most welcome, for nearly all growers are beginning to cut in large quantity. The report is that from now on until after Christmas big crops may be ex- pected. The cut is increasing on all varieties, including Beauty, but with the possible exception of Liberty, which is giving place to Richmond. The quality has suffered because of the long period of dark weather, and Maids are badly bleached, but it will only take a few crisp days with bright sun to make rose qualities all the most critical could ask. Since Thanksgiving there have been plenty of carnations. The stock car- ried over from Thanksgiving served to keep the market going until the grow- ers had rested up and begun to cut again. The result is that prices are more nearly normal than they have been at any time this season. The quality >vith many growers is superb, although quite a number have not yet been able to get much stem on Lawson. En- chantress is fine with nearly everyone, Paper Whites and Romans are plentiful. There are enough lilies, both Harrisii and calla, and valley is again down in price because of increased supply. Vio- lets were scarce at the end of last week, but beginning with Monday there have been all the market could use. Mignonette and stevia are now regular items of stock. Green goods of all kinds are abundant. Thanksgiving Aftermath* Now that the returns are all in it appears that the aggregate sales were just about .equal to last year — which was the best ever — and that the dissatisfac- tion which exists was caused by the unusually heavy supplies. The great quantities of stock seeking a market at advanced prices precluded a clean-up. Quiet business for three weeks before Thanksgiving and the expectation of a heavy demand for flowers to go with the turkey afforded the best of conditions for accumulating stock. Receipts were double, treble, even quadruple what they were the week before, and naturally the market appeared weak, although a vol- ume of business equal to any previous year was being done. Carnations were carried over in large quantities and even New York violets, of which receipts were not especially heavy, were carried from Wednesday until Saturday. The Mum Glut Did It. In sizing up recent business in the wide territory that draws supplies from the Chicago market, E. C. Amling says: ' ' Demand was active in October. Since November 6 the Chicago market has had supplies of chrysanthemums so heavy that they constantly were forcing a sale. From all reports the same thing has been true in every town from Pittsburg to Omaha, from Duluth to New Orleans. Every man who has any glass at all was loaded up with mums. Naturally he pushed them to his trade instead of pushing Chicago roses and carnations. In spite of this most of the Chicago wholesalers had a fairly satisfactory November. I look for a big boom in business as soon as the mums are out of the way." Christmas Prospects. With Christmas less than three weeks away all eyes are set upon the prospects for the holiday. Everything goes to show that the demand will be big — but supplies of stock will be large and grow- ers are warned against accumulating stock at the expense of quality. Christ- mas buyers want only the best and will not buy stale stock at any price. Rose crops are about right, with favorable weather, for big Christmas crops. Car- nations will be in large supply. The Chicago market will be fixed to do busi- ness for Christmas. Hit By a Train. Ferdinand Kading, who was a packer at the greenhouses of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, was instantly killed Thanksgiving eve while walking on the St. Paul tracks, returning from a dance at Glen View, which he had attended with Robert Hand, one of the section foreman. They were struck by a freight ]60 The Weekly Florists^ Review* December 6, 1906.

Mr. Hand is in the Monroe street hospital in Chicago. Kading was 30 years of age. The Young Funeral. The funeral of Otto Young on Sun- day and the interment on Monday made much work for the leading retailers. C. A. Samuelson had the family order, which was the largest he has been called upon to handle since the Field funeral. So widely was Mr. Young connected with Chifago business affairs that practically all the retailers had a share in the fu- neral w¥)rk, some of the pieces shown being among the largest and most ex- pensive turned out in this city in many months. Eowe made a pillow using 3,000 violets, a large quantity of valley, and four dozen cattleyas. The entire draw- ing-room of the Young residence at 2032 Calumet avenue was occupied by the floral display. Weather in November. The weather continues unseasonably warm, November averaging 3 degrees above normal. We have now had, figur- ing on the daily mean temperature, 928 degrees more heat in 1906 than normal. In November there were only four clear days, eleven partly cloudy and fifteen cloudy. The rainfall was 3.08 inches, or 1.03 inches more than November in 1905. Various Notes. The transportation question is occupy- ing the thoughts of all Chicago. The congestion is testing the public temper. In the city council it is the principal topic of debate. Alderman Peter Rein- berg suggests improving conditions by building bridges at La Salle and Frank- lin streets and establishing two more downtown loops. George Manos, who has a stand at the Union depot, is a partner in Manos & Laskey at the Union depot at Pittsburg, Pa. Ned Washburn, son of C. L. Wash- burn, is at home from Madison, where he is taking the horticultural course in the State Agricultural College. During the holiday rush he will acquire a knowl- edge of the business side of practical floriculture, in the city store of Bassett & Washburn. C. M. Dickinson is on deck again at E. H. Hunt's, feeling first rate after seven weeks' siege with rheumatism. Sinner Bros, are cutting Harrisii in considerable quantities, still rather short stems but fine flowers. L. Baumann & Co. are experiencing the full force of the freight conges- tion. They have thirty cases of Christ- mas supplies mixed up in the freight blockade between New York and Chi- cago. "^ A. L. Randall Co. reports the supply department working overtime with in- creased force to keep the Christmas or- ders going out promptly. Peter Reinberg's cut of Mrs. Marshall Field rose has become quite heavy and the color of the buds is much improved since cool weather came. The latest novelty with Vaughan & Sperry is ivy sprays. Wietor Bros, report that they are about through with the mums, and they say it with regret, for they have had an exceptionally good season with them. The wire department of the Kenni- cott Bros. Co. has been turning out some large orders for rings for the mak- ing of holly wreaths. The early ship- ments of holly are of fine quality. According to report, the sales from the Guardian Angel's Orphan Asylum greenhouses last year were $14,000. It is one of the chief sources of revenue of the institution. Weiland & Risch say they are just be- ginning to get a good cut, having been late in replanting last summer. They have a large part of the place in Kil- larney. Emil Kroll is cutting some exception- ally good Liberty. Zech & Mann handle the stock. ' The club is due to meet next week, Thursday, December 13, at Handel hall, at 8 p. m. August Poehlmann says that they are taking all the wood possible for the propagation of their sport of Chatenay, as they consider it an exceptionally good thing. The E. F. Winterson Co. reports the trade taking strongly to artificial poin- settias. They are useful in combination with wreaths and for places where nat- ural flowers would not stand. P. C. Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, says that every day they are better pleased with their grafted roses. They have a splendid crop just coming on. Cattleya Percivaliana is about the only resource just now, and commands high prices. Trianae is just beginning, and, McKellar says, is in big demand. The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. says that Killarney will be at its best with them ■PfuimnB^i^iipi^iwv.ii .ji ju„-i." I,"!"

There was a good demand for flowers and prices were satisfactory; of course the chrysanthe- mum was easily first and nearly all were taken. From present reports the trade in decorating greens this Christmas will exceed all other years. The Bash Seed Co., the Vale Seed Co. i^d^ Huntington & Page, seedsmen, besides the florists, who always handle greens, are laying in large stocks to fill orders. The Bash Seed Co. had a lot of fine holly for Thanksgiving that sold well. E. A. Nelson has a nice bench of poinsettias that will be just right for the holidays. He also has a good pink sport of Enchantress. The different florists who have stands m the Tomlinson market will shortly have to move, as the building is to be remodeled. They will be back again in a few months in much better q-nrters. S. New London, Wis.— E. N. Olson has a well established greenhouse and re- ports business good.

Thanksgiving saw a gen- eral clean-up in all kinds of choice stock. The Army-Navy football game on Satur- day made a great demand for violets and yellow chrysanthemums. The first german, in Baltimore on Monday, helped the wholesalers, creating a great demand for Beauties and other choice roses. Roses of all kinds have advanced in price, the best Brides and Maids bring- ing $12 per hundred and a few selects $15. .Kichmond was in especially good demand, also Beauties, the market clean- ing up nicely on this latter stock. Any- thing good in carnations sold On sight, especially the colored varieties. Steyia has arrived, and makes a nice addition to the list, A great number of cattleyas have been used and are fine just now. There are still some good chrysanthe- mums coming in white Eaton, white and yellow Jones and some fine Jeanne Nonin, of which the Robert Craig Co. is still cutting quite a number. Some small bunch Ivory are arriving and find ready sale for the cheaper grades of work. A few of the new Gov. Herrick violets grown by Mrs, Smith, of Secane, are arriving, and demand a good price. Com- mission-men are all congratulating them- selves on the nice move-off of chrysanthe- mums the latter part of the week. It was thought that there would be a few too many, but everything cleaned up in fine shape. Various Notes. It is thought the exceptional shortage in Beauties and other roses at this time is due to the fact that every year the growers aim to get their main crop at Christmas. J, W.

December came in like a lion, Sunday was colder still. Accus- tomed as we are to a temperate condi- tion, the eager and nipping air sought the marrow of our bones. On Monday came down the first snow of the winter, melting as it fell. Then at night the mercury sank again and the long fight with the coal trust and Boreas has be- gun. Fortunately Christmas is knocking at the door and Easter is only three short months away. Everybody is beginning preparations for the holidays. The Christmas trees are on the way. Carloads of them will be here before the week is over. Holly is coming from the south in unbounded quantity and the green goods and ever- green roping manufacturers are working night and day. Supply men are shipping immensely all over the country. Bells are in demand, of every size and kind. Novelties are many. Retail windows already indicate many surprises in unique vase, box and basket. The days of the commonplace are gone. This is too fast an age for relies. The call for the novel and beautiful is everywhere. Thanksgiving caused hardly a ripple in the market, so abundant were the chrysanthemums and so slightly is the holiday observed with floral decorations. Prices held steady and many of the retailers seemed pleased with the extra business. But it was only the natural increase that comes always with the nearness of the Christmas festival. Beauties easily commanded steady values, $60 per hundred being about the top. They hold there now and probably will remain steady. Brides and Maids are on their way to better figures. Good stock is worth $10 per hundred this week. All roses feel the influence of demand and the effect of light receipts. The promise for Christmas is an abun- dance that will make abnormal prices impossible. Carnations now are grand in size and quality and the great novelties are again abundant. Some of them readily bring $8 to $10 per hundred. The supply is up to expectations and there seems to be no decrease, in their popularity. Violets are more abundant and $1 seems to be considered top. There will evidently be enough and to spare. The same cannot be said of orchids. A fair tip as to the Christmas supply would easily be to book your orders early. McManus al- ready has his quiver full of them. The mums have evidently decided to stay for 166 The Weekly Florists^ Review* December 6, 1906.

Next year we are to have a flower show worthy of New York, whether it will be the New Jfork Club or the American Institute that fathers it. De- pend upon it, the triumphs of the west in this line, at Kansas City and Chicago, have not passed unheeded. Take warn- ing now of the good intentions of the east, even if the path to the proverbial Hades may be paved with them. P. O'Mara will give a lecture on "Sports" before the Horticultural So- ciety of New York at the American Institute Wednesday afternoon, Decem- ber 12.

It has been a prosperous year with this strenuous organization. •Many new members have been added and great interest in the monthly exhibitions and discussions displayed, the November meeting being the banner night of all. So keen is the interest in the election of new officers for 1907 that it is hardly necessary to suggest a crowd for Mon- day. Visitors last Saturday were E. J. Fan- court, of the Pennock-Meehan Co., and John Westcott, president-elect of the S. A. F., of Philadelphia. The wholesale employees have a neat announcement card in all the stores. The second annual ball takes place on Satur- day, January 5, at the Manhattan Ca- sino. The Twenty-second Regiment band has been secured. A big crowd is as- sured. The officers are Nick C. Schreiner, president; Charles Matthews, vice-presi- dent; John Foley, treasurer; John Egen- brod, financial secretary; Arthur Wiese, recording secretary. Last year the boys proved their ability to carry through the project most successfully. They will do it again. New York vs. Madison. It was a reminder of old times — that bowling match last Saturday evening be- tween the stalwart master gardeners of the rose city and the vigorous seedsmen of New York. It was the return match, for these nervy Madisons scalped the New Yorkers on their first meeting, and after sleeping for two weeks on their home alleys they came to the big city with proud stride and the fire of victory in their eyes. But the fires burned out and the stride changed to weariness be- fore the night was over. It was a sad and solemn march to the station and bedraggled feathers on the head-piecea of the fallen braves. The rubber will be played at Madison. ' New York has some fine players. Al Rickards, Protin and Chadwick all made fine averages, so did Keating and Duck- ham for the visitors. Good-fellowship was rampant, and Bobby Schultz, the irrepressible, was in his element. The "mule team" made melody and Totty and his companions had some glowing stories to tell of the mines and moun- tains of Colorado. A fine lunch was served. The score follows: Madison.

One of the younger members of the wholesale fraternity in New York is Alexander J. Guttman. He has brought to the business an indefatigable energy and a liking for the work, which goes a long way toward successful effort. He has not confined himself solely to the wholesale cut flower business, but in partnership with Charles Weber, a well- known Long Island grower, distributed Victory carnations last season so suc- cessfully that Mr. Guttman has now entered into an arrangement with John E. Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., for the dissemination of the latter 's two new sorts of this season, Imperial and Pink Imperial. Mr. Guttman is one of the nominees for the secretaryship of the New York Florists' Club, the election to be held next Monday evening. He has ever since his connection with the trade taken a prominent part in all organized effort for the advancement of trade in- terests and has been a wide traveler, attending all the principal flower shows and trade conventions throughout the United States.

Milwaukee, Wis.— The Loveland floral Co. has been incorporated by John Krueger, Carl Carlquist and C. P. O. Wegner. The capital stock is $1,500 BOSTON. The Market Thanksgiving trade was most satisfac- tory, everything cleaning out well. Chrysanthemums, aa was to be expected, were abundant and made but little advance in price. The highest price we Alexander J. Guttman. heard of on these was $6 per dozen. Roses and carnations were both rather scarce and brought somewhat higher prices, especially the bright-colored sorts. Of violets there was a splendid supply, the singles being in best demand, but all sold out. Scarlet bouvardia sold well and poinsettias made their initial ap- pearance. Other flowers were not es- pecially plentiful. Since Thanksgiving prices have ruled firm, some of the better grades of tea roses making $2 per dozen. Carnations are also higher, while violets keep up to the dollar mark, some going higher. Mignonette of good quality is coming in, selling from $3 to $8 per hundred. There is a good supply of Paper Whites and a few Roman hyacinths are appearing. Callas and Easter lilies are both rather scarce. No change in quotations on green stock. Poinsettias and Lorraine begonias in pans are appearing in quantity, also azaleas, cyclamens, ardisias and other seasonable pot plants. The colder weather we are now experiencing will, however, check the gale of both these and cut flowers. Boston vs. Chicago. A paragraph in a recent issue of the Review gave Chicago credit for having more train arrivals and departures than any other city in the world. There are several cities which surpass Chicago in this respect, one of these being Boston. Boston's great South Terminal station, the biggest on the American continent, has 848 arrivals and departures of pas- senger trains daily. The North Union station has 602. The freight trains at the two stations number 174 daily, a grand total of 1,622, or eighty-five more than Chicago. The Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn R. E. has a ten-minute service which would add 100 more to Boston's credit. We admit Chicago 's greatness in many ways, but she must continue to play second fiddle to Boston in train statistics for some time. It must be remembered that within fifty miles of Boston resides a population of over 3,200,000, which is several hundred thou- sand more than Chicago has within a similar radius. Various Notes.

It is generally conceded that the sin- gle-stem system is the most practicable for the commercial grower, the plants being set from twelve to fourteen inches apart, according to variety and width of bench. One stake only is necessary for each plant, but this should be a strong one and should have the support of at least one wire; if two, all the better. Where one only is used it should be near the top of the stakes to which these Bhould be firmly attached. Another wire about half way up the stakes will help to stiffen and strengthen the whole thing. The plants should be supported as Boon as planted by being loosely tied to the stakes. Loosely means that the string is tied so as to allow for the swelling of the stem; otherwise it will become girdled as growth proceeds. To make sure that the string will stay in place it should be wrapped around the stake first, then around the stake and stem together and securely tied. Raffia is the best and cheapest material to use. As growth proceeds tying should be fre- quently attended to, as the points will Our Holiday Decorative Material PRICE LIST is ready for mailing and free for the asking.

All the pinching that is necessary is to keep all side growths taken out as they appear, and after the plants have reached the top of the stakes to pinch out the points and stop their skyward journey. We also find that quite fre- quently growths appear on the ends or the bunches of fruit, especially when the plants are growing strong. As these are a decided detriment to the development of the fruit, they should be pinched out as they appear. We sometimes have found it necessary to cut away part of the leaves of some varieties to admit the light and prevent crowding, but as a rule varieties that make such heavy foliage as to make this necessary are not the most profitable ones to grow. Though they are gener- ally the producers of the heaviest fruit they will not produce so much weight or fruit per plant as some of the less ram- pant growers. W. S. Croydon. CUCUMBEES. Pollination. The cucumber, like the other members of the gourd family to which it belongs, bears two kinds of blossoms on widely separate parts of the plant. The stami- nate or non-fruit-bearing flower, is the first to appear and is in general borne near the base of the plant. The pistil- late blossom with the embryo cucumber at its base appears later and is borne near the extremity of the newly form- ing and rapidly growing shoots. Since these flowers are normally produced in this way, it is necessary that a transfer of pollen be made from the staminate to the pistillate flowers through the agency of insects or by other artificial means, says L. C. Corbett, in a recent buUetia of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Under greenhouse conditions and at the time of year that the cucumber is- forced it is necessary to provide for pol- lination. In small establishments this work can be done by hand. The stam- inate blossoms are removed, the petals turned back so as to allow the anthers to project, and the pencil thus produced is then thrust into the cup of the pistil- late flower in such a way as to distribute pollen upon the stigma of the pistillate flower. In large establishments where hand pollination is out of the question a colony of honey bees frequently is placed in each house to accomplish the work. There is no getting along without the Eeview. — J. J. Miller, Peoria, 111. December 6, 1906. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 169 -| CURRENT PRICES OF !. AMERICAN BEAUTY Per dot.

What temperature ought Asparagus plumosus be kept in to keep it green and growing f E. L. Asparagus plumosus does well in a night temperature of 60 degrees. If the foliage is losing color it is not on ac- count of too high or too low a tempera- ture. It is pretty sure the cause is that the asparagus is not planted in a solid bed. It hates to have its roots sepa- rated from Mother Earth by boards at the bottom of the bench. W. S. TROUBLE WITH POINSETTIAS. Kindly give me some information about the treatment of poinsettias. I have grown them for two years. About the time they are commencing to show color the leaves commence to get yellow and drop off. I grow them in pots. Nice foliage until now. I keep them at 65 de- grees at night and syringe every day. F. H. We frequently hear of this trouble with these tropical plants. There are two definite causes for the leaves of poin- settias turning yellow and dropping. The first is too low a temperature. As you say you keep your house at 65 degrees, that is not the cause, because that tem- perature is abundantly high. You must seek for the other cause, which is ex- haustion of the soil. The roots have no more to feed on and the foliage suffers. The writer has had a good deal to say about these showy plants the last ten years. Having grown them in all sorts of shapes and sizes for thirty-five years, we think we know some of the troubles you are liable to stumble against. One, often alluded to in the pages of the Re- view, is the fatal mistake of disturbing their roots after the middle of October. Such a slight disturbance of root as would be caused by a careful shift from a 4-inch to a 6-inch pot is disturbance enough to be fatal to the foliage. This has been demonstrated to us most vividly, to our great loss. That is why all shift- ing and making up of pans should be completed prior to the middle of Octo- ber. The poinsettia is a native of Mexico, and is truly tropical, but if its roots are healthy and vigorous it will endure a much lower temperature than is gener- ally supposed. Now if you have not been shifting or disturbing the roots of your plants recently, then your case must be one of soil exhaustion. To shift them now would be out of the question, and all you can do is give them some weak liquid manure twice a week. This you can make by putting half a pint of fresh dairy or stable manure in a barrel with thirty-two gallons of water. Put the manure in a coarse sack and let it soak for twenty-four hours before using. This may impart some vigor to the roots and arrest the dropping of the leaves. It is all you can do. Once the roots of the poinsettia lose their vitality they rot quickly and are beyond help. Unless you are trying to knock oflP mealy bug, which about now appears among the nectar cups at the base of the bract, there is no need of daily syring- ing. We don't syringe at all after the bracts begin to show color. It is just possible you are keeping the roots too wet. W. S. GERANIUMS FOR MEMORIAL DAY. What is the best time to put gera- nium cuttings in sand to have them in bloom for Decoration day in 3-inch and 4-inch pots, W. B. The date of putting in geranium cut- tings has less to do with the date of flowering than has their treatment. We put in our first cuttings at the end of September and all through October, not in the sand, but pot at once into 2-inch and 2% -inch pots. These, after a pinch- ing in January, are sure to be in full flower at Decoration day. Cuttings from old plants lifted in October are usually in good order in January, and there is 170 The Weekly Florists' Review* December 6, 1006.

The crops of red clover in England appear to be satisfactory. Especially does this apply to the south Lincolnshire cultures and some low prices for fine quality seeds are expected. It was asserted the other day, by a leading Lincolnshire seed grower, that there would be above the average yield of home-grown clover seed, so much so as to considerably affect the sale of for- eign seeds; and more than one seed merchant who handles clover largely (one as much as sixty tons of red each year) said he expected to use nothing but English-grown seed during 1907. There are at least two facts which tend to help make a success of clover cultures for seed in Lincolnshire. One is that dodder does not at all trouble the growers in that district. Why that is true I am not able to say, but I know that in all other districts it is the worst enemy of any clover crop. One of the largest clover growers in the Boston district stated that in his opinion the reason dodder is of no consequence is that the land in that district is in the highest state of cultivation and is the best possible soil to produce vigorous clover. The crop is able at an early stage of growth to completely choke the destructive weed. I have noticed, and also heard it asserted many times, that dodder is always the greatest trouble on sandy or chalky soils, in which case the absence of trouble in the district in question is easily explained, as a better all-round quality of soil is not to be found in all England than that in south Lincolnshire. Another fact recently came to my notice in the clover trade while travel- ing in Lincolnshire. That was, contrary to the general experience, seed procured from the Chilian supplies, when grown in the district in question, produces finer seed than from seed procured from any Clearing Sale SURPLUS BULBS FOR POT CULTURE AND FORCING Sl^"!^ A 25 bulbs at 100 rate. 260 at 1000 rate.

The second year it is equal to other supplies from other sources, and the third year is superior to that procured from any other district. Just why this is so does not seem to be fully understood among the local farm- ers, but probably it is again the result of being grown on soil best suited to its requirements. Certainly some samples which I recently inspected in the district, from Chilian supplies, were the finest I had ever seen.

Brown, botanist in charge of the government's seed testing laboratory at Washington, sends out the following: * * In reference to the effect of the work of this department in connection with the publication of the names and addresses of firms found to have offered for sale adulterated seed, together with the anal- yses of the samples found to be adul- terated, I would say that this has had a very stimulating effect on the trade, if we are able to judge from the number of samples constantly being sent to the department by dealers for examination as to the presence of adulterants. This laboratory will be glad, so far as it is able, to make tests for purity and ger- mination, and to examine any samples which may be submitted for the purpose of determining the presence of adul- terants. "One way in which farmers are able to get good quality of seeds is to inform the seedsmen at the time of asking for samples that both the sample and the seed when received will be sent to either the seed laboratory of the agricultural department or the state experiment sta- tion for examination. "One of the greatest obstacles in the way of better seed is the fact that the farmer is very apt to purchase seed of inferior quality if it is offered at a slightly lower price. There is, however, little relation between the difference in price and the difference in quality, it being almost invariably true that the good seed in lower priced grades is much more expensive than the good seed in the best grades."

If so, how early should the bulbs be planted! Is it better to grow this variety outdoors for summer cut flowers? How early should amaryllis bulbs be planted to be in bloom by Easter? K. C. C. This beautiful lily is sometimes kept in cold storage till the fall, with the ob- ject of having them in flower for the holidays. To keep them in cold storage 80 late that they would be in flower as late as Easter is, I think, impossible, £,nd the new bullm do not arrive from Japan early enough in the fall to be forced for Easter. But why bother with this class of lilies! We have the longi- florum type for Easter, 'and that is enough, besides many other beautiful plante and flowers. Lilium auratum for cut flowers ia best grown under glass. Potted as soon as they arrive and started slowly in a cool house, they flower from June on. If you have a well-drained piece of sandy loam, or soil that is largely vegetable deposits, you can plant these lilies outdoors in early May and they will flower in August and September. Let me just add that Lilium auratum is a gorgeous flower, but of little use to florists. Its odor is too strong for most people, and as for using it in a design, I think it would be in as good taste as a gigantic sunflower, or a bride's bouquet made of Timothy Eaton HIGH GRADE BULBS IN SURPLUS At Very Low Prices to Close Out Narolsaua Paper Wbite Grandlflora, extra select.$1.00 per 100; double Von Slon, XXX double-nosed 1.75 per 100; " KaoLvrmum 1.76perl00; " OoldenSpur l.SOperlOO; " Orance PboeDlz l.OOperlOO; " Inoomparabills 75 per 100; Tulips, Artus l.OOperlOO; Duaart, best red 1.75 per 100; Joost von Vondel l.OOperlOO; LAR«lne, Fancy 76 per 100; Kels«rskroon l.SOperlOO; Cbrysolora 75 per 100; Pott«t>ak]Eer, scarlet l.SOperlOO; white 1.26perl00; Raobal Ruyacli l.OOperlOO; Rose GrtadeUn l.OOperlOO: Duo van ThoU, single red and yellow l.OO per 100; rose 1.75 per 100; Prlnoe of Austria 2.00 per 100; Jaclit von Delft 75 per 100; Rex Rubronun 1.50 per 100; Gloria BoUa l.OOperlOO; La Candour 1.15 per 100; Tellow^ Rose 75 per 100: single, fine mixed 60 per 100; single, extra fine mixed 75perl00; Preealaa, mammoth, i^i to %-inch 65 per 100; Tilllnm Glsanteum, 7 to 9 6.50 per lOO; Just arrived, ULT OF THX VAIiLiBT, early giant-forcing, a very 114.00 per 1000; original cases of 2,500, 134.50. $7.60 per 1000 16.60 per 1000 16 60 per 1000 13.00 per 1000 7 60 per 1000 6.00 per 1000 9.00 per 1000 16.60 per 1000 9.00 per 1000 6.50 per 1000 14.00 per 1000 6.60 per 1000 13.00 per 1000 10.60 per 1000 9.00 per 1000 9.60 per 1000 8.60 per 1060 16.00 per 1000 18.50 per 1000 6.00 per 1000 13.00 per 1000 9.60 per 1000 10.00 per 1000 6.00 per 1000 4.75 per 1000 6.60 per 1000 5.00 per 1000 60.00 per 1000 superior grade, tf^llDDIP RDHC^ i^£k 308-814 BROADWAY, Nfentlop The Review when yon write.

Bissinger, of the Capitol Avenue Greenhouse, reports an exceptionally good trade for Thanksgiving, much heav- ier than in 1905. G. E. Smith, of the Riverside green- houses, says that everything went, but demand did not greatly exceed supply. His large stock of chrysanthemums was completely cleaned up. G. F. Bauerle, the enterprising North Lansing florist, did a thriving bit of business during Thanksgiving week. Of course every violet from the Maple- wood violet house was sold before Thanksgiving day. The cut was slightly in excess of last year. May 1, 1907, the business of Maple- wood Violet House will be merged into the Maplewood Violet Nursery Co. E. A. Zimmerman, who has been for many years connected with the Bridgeport Nursery, of Bridgeport, Ind., has pur- chased a half interest and the business will be enlarged to include the cultiva- tion of plants, trees and shrubs. This is the only firm in Lansing taking up this line of work. P. L. C. New York, N. Y.— The Pierson U-Bar Co.'s successful low bid on the Central park greenhouses was $20,475. There were three higher bids. Edwardsville, III. — J. F. Ammann, president of the Illinois State Florists' Society, will attend the meeting of the Bloomington Florists' Club, December 13, to consult in reference to a working committee to be appointed for the annual meeting of the society, to be held in that city the second Tuesday in Febru- ary. 188 The Weekly Florists'' Review* Dbcbhbeb 6, 1906.

J. H, Hale, South Glastonbury, Conn., is on the program for two addresses. L. L. May & Co., of St. Paul, Minn., will build a cold storage house at Lake- land, Minn., for the purpose of wintering their nursery stock. The building will be 157x200 feet, the wall to be provided with four dead air spaces. The death of George Ellwanger, head of Ellwanger & Barry, Eochester, N. Y., occurred November 26. He was 90 years of age. A brief account of his long and active life will be found in the obituary column on another page of this issue. Several nurserymen, among them M. J. Wragg, C. L. Watrous, C. G. Patten and W. M. Bomberger, are on the pro- gram for the forty-first annual conven- tion of the Iowa State Horticultural Society at Des Moines, December 11 to 13. J. E. McMahon, the nurseryman at Home, Kan., has bought a section and a quarter of land near Denver, Colo., and will establish a branch nursery on a quarter section of it. He is said to be a good authority on soil and tree culture and says he is satisfied that the soil and climate are well adapted for fruit grow- ing. STARK BROS. CONSOLIDATE. The following report comes from At- lantic, la., under date of November 29: "The Stark Bros. Nursery Co. is to quit business in Atlantic. This was the word received by I. N. Brown, local manager for the concern, in the shape of an order from the main oflice at Ix)uisiana, Mo., to ship teams, stock, etc., to them and wind up the business here. The reason of the decision on the part of the nurs- ery firm is not exactly known, but it is said that they have not found the local nursery a profitable one and that many of the local conditions are not auspi- cious. The company purchased the Wil- son nursery business some years ago and since that time I. N. Brown has been the manager." A SHRUBBY GOLDENROD. Bigelovia graveolens, a low growing and very hardy shrub common to sterile soils throughout the Eocky Mountain re- gion, bears profuse blooms so like those of the goldenrod that it may be re- garded horticulturally as only a shrubby form of the latter. It appears to grow well in the east in any dry situation, soon forming bushy, spreading clumps three or four feet high and as much in diameter. The leafage is narrow but dense, and covered with short, woolly hairs, giving the plant a distinct if not especially ornamental appearance. The yellow inflorescence consists of abundant feathery flower heads thrown well above the foliage, and is produced in Septem- ber. While not comparable in floral ef- fect to the most showy species of sol- idago, or goldenrod, to which it is closely related, its shrubby habit and distinct appearance make it worthy of a place in mixed plantings. It is readily in- creased by seeds, layers and cuttings. Nurseries generally offer collected plants, as the demand is too limited to encour- age propagation. We have received a dwarfer variety, known as albicaulis, from D. M. Andrews, Boulder, Colo. The foliage is densely woolly. Mr. Andrews considers it a suitable shrub for low hedges and edgings as well as mixed bor- ders.— W. Van Fleet, in the Eural New- Yorker. FLOWERLESS LILACS. Will you kindly tell me why my lilacs never bloom? I mean the outdoor ones. Should all the suckers be kept off and just have have one main growth? The plants seem in good health, but never have any bloom, and my neighbor's are just the same way. Please tell me what to do for them. Can there be such a thing as all males and no females ^ M. E. A. The lilacs we import from Belgium for forcing are grafted or budded on the common privet, Ligustrum vulgaris, and when planted out suckers will occur, and should, of course, be kept off. With lilacs propagated .from cuttings or lay- ers, which our American nurserymen sell, the suckers, if any, are as true to species as any part of the shrub. There may be several reasons why your lilac bushes do not flower. Eemember that flowering and bearing fruit in shrubs and trees is no indication of health and vigor, rather otherwise. The lilac is one of those hardy decidu- ous shrubs that should be pruned, if at all, immediately after it has done flower- ing. It sets its flower buds for another year at the same time that it is flower- ing. Now if you go, during winter or early spring, and cut off or shorten back the growth the plant made last June you will be cutting off all the flower buds and induce only a strong, blind growth. If this is not your error, then dig a trench all around your lilac bushes. Keep five or six feet from the stem, but deep enough to cut off all the strong roots. This will impair their vigor and throw them into flower. Keep your knife and pruning shears away. W. S.

The Market Business last week was steady and the general report is that every one had about all he could take care of conveni- ently. Specimen blooms of chrysanthe- mums were in big demand and, except with two of our largest growers, they were hard to secure. Medium sized mums did not seem to sell as well as the larger blooms. Roses are not too plenti- ful and a great many were shipped in for the Thanksgiving trade. Carnations were also quite scarce. Violets were largely called for, even at $1 per bunch of twenty-five. Chrysanthemum plants are slow sale. A great many dealers are carrying quite a number, but in order to get anything out of them, are compelled to cut them and use them for cut flowers. Funeral work has been heavy. StPatd. * The partnership in the Swanson Floral Co. has been dissolved, Gust A. Colberg having purchased August S. Swanson 's share in the business. In future it will be run under the name of Gust A. Col- berg. J. W. Hoffman, manager of the L. L. May & Co. retail cut flower department, says Thanksgiving trade exceeded by considerable that of a year ago. Olaf J. Olson, of Holm & Olson, says their trade was good and in addition to disposing of all their own chrysanthe- mums they bought large numbers from other growers. Trade in their new store, he says, has increased greatly. C. F. Vogt reports a good trade, the demand for floral designs being espe- cially heavy, Vogt Bros, report a fine trade for Thanksgiving and a very heavy demand for violets, which were hard to obtain. E. T. Lemke has had possibly as fine a lot of mums as were seen this season; also his violets and carnations are hard to beat. Minneapolis. Jas. Souden, of the Wm. Donaldson Co., says they had about all the busi- ness they could take care of. Their own stock is doing well, but on account of the heavy demand they are compelled to buy considerable. Ralph Latham says trade is good and so far has been able to secure some fine roses, especially Chatenay, Brides and Maids. Felix.

The Market Thanksgiving has come and gone, and 1 am inclined to think that there will be little cause for complaint. We had been enjoying extra fine weather through November until about a week before the holiday, when suddenly we were visited by several days of hot, dry winds, coupled with frosty nights. In conse^ quence there was a great shortage of outdoor stock that was not particularly noticeable until the middle of the week. Violets suffered most and next in order were chrysanthemums. The price of the former was not raised by the gfrowers, but there was a great shortage of stock and there were but few brought to town on Wednesday or Thursday. The demand was heavy but everyone was cut off with a short supply. Good yellow mum's' for the same reason were scarce and the growers doubled the prices.

Gresens, of Alameda, reports the heaviest business during Thanksgiving week ever experienced by his firm. Considerable business was done by the local dealers in California red berries. Many customers, who could not be sup- plied with violets, turned their attention to the berries and seemed to find in them a good substitute. G. PROPAGATING NUT TREES. Will you oblige me by giving a little information about propagating nut trees, as I have unsatisfactory results? Please cover, if convenient, in reply, the best mode of selecting, handling, time of planting, etc., of such varieties as Eng- lish walnut, sweet chestnut, butternut, maple, elm, mountain ash and hawthorn. C. H. B. The writer of the above takes in quite a varied list of stock, together with an opportunity to go into considerable de- tail in the various phases of its growth, but a few of the principal features may clear up some of the difficulties encoun- tered. To begin with, the subject of the growing of nut trees presents several successive steps. Walnuts, almonds, chestnuts and butternuts are grafted to whatever variety the grower wishes to propagate. The seedlings are usually grafted when about two years old and they make a growth of several feet in the next two seasons, when they are large enough to sell. The exception to this rule is the almond, which is always budded on one-year-old wild stock and attains a salable size the following season. Seedling nut trees can be procured from any of the large eastern nurseries and if one-year-old seedlings are planted they should be grown one year before they are grafted. They are easily handled and the grafting should be done in December and January, and the ground kept well cultivated, so that the young scion will not dry out when the warm weather begins. The best selling varieties on this coast are the Chaberte, Franquette, Mayette and Parisienne walnuts. Nonpareil, Paper-shell and IXL almonds, American Sweet, Paragon and Alpha chestnuts. Considerable success can be had from planting and fruiting nut trees that are grown from selected nuts and not grafted; but the demand has of late years been for grafted trees of well- known sorts. The party inquiring can purchase or grow the seedlings and when the time comes for grafting the scions can be procured without trouble from any repufeble tree grower. With maples there is no trouble what- ever. They are easily grown from seed, although young seedlings are sold at such reasonable prices by wholesale dealers, who make a specialty of selling to smaller nurseries, that it hardly pays to propagate them when two or three-year- old seedlings can be had at a few cents per hundred. They are easily handled, perfectly hardy and grow fast when planted in • nursery rows. Should the inquirer care to bother, they can be grown very easily from seed, but my advice is to import, as I find it much cheaper. The best selling sorts of maples on this coast are the English silver- leaved, sycamore, Norway and black. They are all of equally easy growth and are good sellers. The same rule can be applied to elms, mountain ash and hawthorn. The haw- thorn, however, if it is desired to grow any of the double sorts, will have to be budded or grafted in the same manner as the nut trees. They can be budded in May or June and grafted in December. Wild or single hawthorns can be pur- chased at low prices and can be altered when either two or three years old. They have come into great favor within the last few years on this coast and are of the easiest growth and stand transplant- ing without trouble. G. J92 The Weekly Florists^ Review* December 6, 1906. BALTIMORE. The Market Indian summer continues, but we had a rushing Thanksgiving and many or- ders had to be declined.

The Market Thanksgiving trade, though devoid of any unusual features, was satisfactory. There was a good trade in chrysanthe- mums and violets^ with considerable de- mand for roses and carnations. With the exception of carnations there was an abundance of stock of all kinds. The carnation situation is improving, though there is no surplus to be had. Ameri- can Beauty, Killarney, Liberty, Rich- mond, Brides, Maids and Gates are all showing up Avell. Good Beauties bring $9 per dozen retail, the average price of tea roses being $2 per dozen. En- chantress carnations sell for $1 and $1.25 per dozen; Law^on, $1; New York vio- lets go fa.st at $3 per hundred. The Spencer funeral. A noteworthy funeral, from the de- signer 's viewpoint, was that of Samuel Spencer, held at St. John's Episcopal church, Sunday, December 2. Mr. Spen- cer was president of the Southern rail- way and met death on his own road. A great part of the work went to J. H. Small & Sons, the Gude Bros.. Co., and the Washington Florists' Co. Also a number of handsome pieces were exe- cuted by Geo. H. Cooke, J. E. Free- man, Z. D. Blackistone and Geo. C. Shaffer. Orders came from New York and other eastern points, but it is prob- able that the most elaborate work was executed on the orders of southern friends of the dead president. He was a native of that section and his life work had been its development through his railroad. The most expensive stock on the market was freely used in nearly all the pieces seen at the funeral ; cattleyaa, cypripediums, orchids, American Beau- ty roses and lily of the valley were in profusion. Various Notes* The advent of the congressmen has in- fused new life into all branches of busi- ness, not excepting the florists. Wash- ingtonians are sometimes inclined to fret over the things congress will not do for them, but they are always ready to wel- come it with feelings of thankfulness after the long, dull days of vacation. The next monthly meeting of the Flo- rists' Club will be ladies' night. All members have been requested to bring their lady friends, and with music and refreshments it is expected there will be a general good time. A. F.

MABELLE NEW PINK CARNATION FOR 1907 Color — A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a faint yellowish cast; several shades lighter than the Law- son. Unlike most pinks, the brightest sun does not injure the color. Size— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when established. Odor — Pleasing, but not strong. Stems- Invariably strong, but always graceful, rang- ing from 12 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, etc.— A very quick, active grower, making specimen plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On ac- count of its rapid growth, requires supporting very soon after benching. Gets away rapidly, blooms early and gives long stems riprht from the start. Product* Iveness— Prodigious is the best word we know of to use here. It is the most incessant bloomer, early and late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. Delivery January 6 to 10 and later. Price $12.00 per 100; tlOO.OO per 1000. THE H. WEBER & SONS GO,, OaHaml, Mil.

Impeiial anil PipK Impeiial Cainalion 1-JERE are two good ones for you, the former the beautiful variegated delicate pink ground spotted with deeper pink, the latter a Lawson shade of pink and both fancy varieties. They are vigorous growers, no grass and every shoot produces a flower. The supply of cuttings will be limited. You cannot well afford to be without some stock of these two excellent varieties. They should and undoubtedly will prove a most valuable asset to our collection of desirable commercial carnations, and growers who would be up-to-date must not be without them, I have watched care- fully these two varieties for some time, and can fully vouch for their excellence.

Catalogues 198 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Decembeb 6, 1906. DETROIT. The Market A favorable report about business is heard from all quarters. Thanksgiving business was a little better than in 1905, but it did not amount to enough to call for a raise in prices. Most of the local growers realized thi* last year. A few tried to get a fancy price for carnations this Thanksgiving, but found it would not work. All the good stock on the market sold well, and a few Enchantress carnations brought $5 per hundred. The few violets handled in this city were sold by Thanksgiving noon. Good flowers are at a premium at present. The chrysanthemum season being practically over, we must now fall back on carna- tions and roses. Some varieties of mums are unusually late this year, and, if good flowers, they meet with ready sale. Koses are nothing extra; the Bridesmaids are off color. Carnations are the most sat- isfactory flowers at present. A great many Khinebeck violets are seen. Most of the violets grown in this vicinity are singles. Paper White narcissi and Eo- mans have again put in their appear- ance, but do not sell readily. Eomans are almost too expensive to use in fu- neral work. Cosmos and valley are daily arrivals, as a great many of the latter are used. Various Notes. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange is handling some extra fine Enchantress. They have long, stiff stems and are per- fect flowers, the product of Robert Klagge's greenhouses. Herman Dasher, of Ecorse, Mich., is branching out into the florist's business. The first two houses are in course of construction, 20x90 and 10x90 respec- tivclv* Albert Sylvester, of the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange, has just received a visit from the stork. It is a girl. Fred Miesel has an exceptionally fine lot of cyclamen. William Hielscher, of the Hielscher Wire Works, reports a steady increase over last year's business. Visitors: John B. Goetz, Saginaw; F. J.

PITTSBUHG. The Market Thanksgiving week was one to be remembered among the trade as the best of any. Everyone was busy. Social functions of all kinds seemed to be doing double turn and the decorators were worked almost to death. This with the usual trade for Thanksgiving day, din- ner-table pieces and bouquets for the more modest and unpretentious made up the great volume of business which was done. There was no scarcity of flowers of any kind. Violets which up to this time seemed scarce, were abundant and sold at from $1.25 to $1.75 per hundred. Eoses were good and enough for all. Carnations were more plentiful, although much of the stock was not up to the mark in quality. But chrysanthemums, which are the principal flower for this holiday, were here in such quantities as were never seen before. All kinds were to be had, from good and bad to worst. Some of the growers sent in scraps of rags which made the wholesale men blush to show them, and, while good small mums realized a fair price, the weak-stemmed ones were sold to the sparrows or went to the dump and realized almost as much cash one place as the other. Among the wholesale men there is a sigh of relief to think the mums are over for another season, as, at the prices a great deal of the stock sold for this year, it did not pay to pack the stock in cases where it had to be shipped, tne boxes costing almost as much as the stock. Various Notes. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has bought out Fred Kuch, the wire worker, who has made most of the floral designs in this city, and employed the men who have been doing the work for Mr. Kuch. They expect to push this branch of the business, and as Pittsburg has the repu- tation of making the best designs in the country, success is assured. Toni McCormack, of the Pittsburg Florists' Exchange, has been wearing his head done up in bandages as a result of a meeting with some bad Pittsburg hold-up men. The green goods men are getting busy with moss, boxwood and laurel. Little pine is to be seen so far and indications are that it will be a scarce article this year. Hoo-Hoo.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 209 ABOUT FERNS. It is remarkable that a genus, which up to a few years ago liad given so few variations as did the nephrolepis, should now prove so j)rolific both in seedling varieties, and also sports. The latest addition we have is a bij)innate form of N. cordifolium, says a writer in the Hor- ticultural Advertiser. This was raised from spores by Prickett & Sons, Enfield Highway, London, England. Several plants apjieared among a large batch of the ordinary cordifolium. I saw the plants at the nursery some weeks ago, and noted that all of those that had broken away from tlie type were of ex- actly the same habit. This fern certainly well deserved the award of merit which was given. T. Rochford & Sons recently showed one of the most beautiful forms which we have had since the introduction of M. Piersoni from America, the fronds being short and broad, and the multiple pinnules overlapping each other and slightly twisted. This was given a first- class certificate. Piersoni, though a beau- tiful fern, has not sold so well in the market as might have been expected, but the above being a more compact habit should prove more useful. N. Elegantis- sima, an American variety which was shown at the Temple by W. J. Godfrey, is another of the same type, having broati tripinnate fronds and long narrow pin- nules. From H. B. May & Sons we had N. exaltata superba. This also gained a first-class certificate. As shown it was perfect in form, the fronds standing up a\t11, with a sufficient curve to give them elegance, all the side pinnules regularly crested, making a most elegant plant for decorations. Nephrolcpis Seottii, which came from America about two years ago, is a good fern; it may best be described as a compact form of exaltata. I saw- beautiful plants of this at May & Sons ', a few weeks ago, but it has not yet been seen in any quantity in the market. With the nephrolepis much depends on cultural treatment, grown under heavy shade, and in a close, moist atmosphere, they make rapid progress, but the fronds are soft. Hang them up close to the glass, give little shade, and not too much heat, and they make short hard fronds which will stand well when used for deco- rations; under the two different treat- ments they appear to be quite distinct ferns. They are getting better known now, but a few years ago they were re- garded by many as being too tender to be of service for ordinary decorations, now we see them used for baskets hang- ing out under balconies and in other ex- posed positions, and it is remarkable how well they stand exposure. PENTAS CARNEA. Introduced over 60 years ago, it is surprising that this plant, whose cul- tural requirements are of the simplest, should be so much neglected by the ma- jority of present-day gardeners. Pentas carnea Quartiniana is an improvement on the type, and is tiie one most usually grown. Cuttings of the young growths inserted in sandy soil, and placed in a little heat, make roots reailily at any time; but, if inserted in the spring, good ])lants for autumn and winter flowering may be obtained.

We have in view a horizontal steam boiler with dimensions as follows: Length, seven and one-half feet; diame- ter, thirty inches; twenty-four 3-inch flues ; grate surface, 30x40 inches. How many feet of radiation will it care for? H. & C. The boiler in question, if set and used as a return tubular boiler, will have a capacity to care for about 1,600 square feet of radiation. L. C. C. BIG TUBES. I have a boiler 4x18 with twelve 6-inch tubes. Will there be any economy in using this style boiler for heating green- houses, either with steam or hot water? How many square feet of radiation will this boiler heat for zero weather or 10 degrees below zero? How many runs of 2-inch pipe should I use on the side walls of three or four connected even- span greenhouses, each 35x150, side walls five feet high? I am using 3-inch and 3^,-ineh flow-pipe. Which system is better, the gravity or pressure? W. E. B. While I have had no experience with a boiler of this type, it is the pattern quite extensively used on river boats and in mills where wood fuel is employed. I am inclined to believe it would prove sat- isfactory for either steam or hot water, perhaps better for hot water than for steam. The boiler in question should carry about 2,600 square feet of radia- tion. The houses in question, 35x150 feet, should each have seventeen runs of 2-inch pipe if hot water is used at 180 degrees. For such a plant on a hot- water basis I should not trust anything but a pressure system, and even then a circulating pump may prove necessary. Li. C C BUFFALO. A Good Thanksgiviog. Thanksgiving, that unique American holiday, is past once more and never to our recollection were we favored with more beautiful weather; sunshine from early morn until our globe turned too far east to see the old gentleman, the father and nourisher of all life. The queen of autumn was in good demand and those who had an abundance of fine flowers reaped a liberal harvest. Some of us were well supplied with good car- nations and they found a ready sale with people who preferred quality to bulk. As usual, the sweet Viola ordorata was in great demand, and why not? The love-sick swain will not consider cost when the tender passion disturbs his maniy breast. Boses were in good sup- ply. As the season advances Richmond is winning favor. It has to be cut close, but how lovely it grows, even to the third and fourth day. We never had a better Thanksgiving. I hope that a year hence we shall have as good cause to return thanks.

Shipping orders supplied the largest part of the demand earlier in the week, but Wednesday the city trade began to affect the market. The dealers and growers have again come to the conclusion that some preparation should be made for this holiday. Chrysanthemums were the most in de- mand, and, while the supply was appar- ently plentiful in most grades, all were sold. There was a heavy demand for American Beauty roses, and none too many of these were seen anywhere. There was just about enough tea roses to go around, pink being the most sought after. Richmond and Liberty also had a fair call and sold well. Carnations were hardly heavy enough to meet the demands, and many of the stores were sold out by noon. As yet the cut is hardly of sufficient quantity to supply the trade, while quality is good. The prices were not prohibitive in any line, 75 cents and $1 per dozen being the ruling price for carnations. Violets were called for later in the day and found ready sale, although the price has ad- vanced, they now selling at from 75 cents to $1.50 per hundred wholesale. Some of the larger stores were show- ing poinsettias and azaleas, and the pros- pects are for a good crop of these for the holidays. Narcissus is now coming in, and of fine quality, also stevia. E.

For the last half dozen years the volume of Christmas business has been steadily increasing, keeping step with the general prosperity of the country at large. Flow- ers being so distinctly a luxury to the great mass of the people, lean years for the working classes are comparatively barren years for the florists, but with everybody else doing business our trade does not fail to experience its share of prosperity; indeed, since the time when the average family has found its daily necessities supplied, the development of the greenhouse industry has been such as to surprise, not only those who are mere recorders of the general prosperity, but those who are closest in touch with conditions in our trade. The way the scriptural green bay tree flourished is not an illuminating comparison for the way our trade has thriven. This season finds the farmer prosper- ous as never before; it finds the railroads taxed to the limit of their greatly en- larged facilities, their earnings greater than ever, their payrolls swollen by recent raises in wages; it finds factories working overtime and unable to keep pace with orders; it finds industry ham- pered by the lack of operatives to carry on the business of the day; it finds the whole country so completely employed that so good a business man as Sir Thomas Lipton, after a trip from New York to Omaha, declared that the whole history of the world shows no record of such great industrial activity as now pre- vails in the United States. Yes, it is going to be a good Christmas. Trend of Trade. In the last half dozen years there has been noted a pronounced change in the trend of holiday trade, which, now that it has spread from the leading stores in New York outward through succeeding stages until it has reached the levels where art is not the means to the end we all desire, is showing the inevitable reflex action. But plants, having come into so great popularity for Christmas and Easter, never can be entirely dis- placed— they serve too good a purpose. Indeed, although the men who led in the artistic embellishment and sale of plants as a holiday substitute for cut flowers are now turning their attention else- where, still thousands of those who do not depend upon originality for their business standing will this Christmas handle more plants than ever. The vogue which plants have enjoyed at the holidays in the last few years probably was due as much to the dif- ficulties of procuring enough satisfactory cut flowers as it was to the skilful use made of plants by the bright men who turned to them, not only as a means of satisfying the call for novelty, but as a means of increasing the amount of sal- S-%de9\M:9\'tdf»>:Uf9^'yf9->'Uf^-Ut9i^Je^ able stock at a time when demand ex- ceeded supply. And now plants will drop to a secondary place (if, indeed, they ever held first), not so much be- cause the novelty has worn off as because the supply of cut flowers has become more nearly equal to holiday require- ments; because cut flower growers are beginning to appreciate the suicidal folly of pickling, and because the enter- prise that makes Bhinebeck violets an important item of stock in Chicago has made it possible for the wholesalers to satisfactorily supply the needs of retail- ers at the most distant points. . Importance of Requisites. The popularity of plants was only achieved by virtue of the skilful use of the innumerable aids provided by the of the profit when the birth baskets go to mother and child, when the young man sends a bunch of violets to his lady love, when the wedding bells are rung, and when life's journey's done, to say noth- ing of our recurring Christmases and Easters and other happy occasions. Especially at Christmas are requisites necessary and profitable. Many a bunch of violets may be made to sell a fancy hamper; many a cut flower order may be made to include ribbons at as great a profit as is made on the flowers; every deft addition of inexpensive embellish- ment adds to the satisfaction of your service, and when it comes to plants it is next to impossible to sell them at all except with some sort of decoration, if it be no more than a paper pot cover. In nearly every case the addition of the requisites adds to the selling value of the stock to such an extent that the profit on the supplies is a better per- centage than is made on plants or flowers. A Case in Point. Take boxwood, for instance. The illustration gives only a poor idea of the attractiveness of the arrangement be- cause the colors cannot be shown. As everyone knows, the boxwood is dark, lustrous green. The receptacle is the The Araucaria in its Holiday Attire. indefatigable dealers in florists ' supplies. While it may be that the vogue for plants is on the wane in leading stores, it is certain that the use of artistic requisites is only at a beginning, for so great is the ingenuity of those engaged in their manufacture that it is impossible to find a place in which no one of these useful articles can be used without im- proved effect and generally increased profit. The supply dealer gets his share Pompeian ware, light green, unglazed, making a good contrast. The ribbon is holly red. The whole effect was such that the Chicago store that provided 100 of these for last Christmas sold them all at $2.50 each. Now let us examine the cost: Plant, 25 cents; jar, 25 cents; ribbon, 10 cents; total cost, 60 cents each. They were designed to sell for $2, but they looked so good an extra 50 cents was added and 242 The Weekly Florists^ Review. December 13, 1D0(S. readily obtained. Where general ex- penses are less than in a big city, and where cost of delivery is less, this might be sold at $1.25 to $1.50 and a satisfac- tory profit obtained. The plant in an ordinary pot, without embellishment, hardly would be salable at any price. The Araucaria. The araucaria is a good Christmas plant, because of the harmony of colors when it is embellished with holly red. The plant illustrated is Araucaria robusta compacta, less tall in proportion to its breadth than is A. excelsa. The addition of a couple of the Alpha Christmas bells, a few bows of narrow red ribbon, a birchbark, metal-lined box and the arrangement is good for $10 in a first- class city store at Christmas. "Wliere a less wealthy trade is catered to a lower price would be necessary if any number were to be sold, but the same store that sold this decorated plant for $10 last Christmas only asked $4 apiece for the plants left unsold, so you can see that the combination of the holiday demand, the bells and the ribbon, was worth about $6. It is the same with all such arrangements, although the margin of profit is not so great in all, and, in fact, possibly it is better for the purposes of steady demand that it is not. Another Good Seller. The erica shown in another of the illustrations accompanying this article was a good seller last Christmas. The pot was covered with Porto Bican mat- ting and tied with red chiffon, a bow of the same in the front. It looked to be easily worth the $5 or $6 asked, and a number of similar arrangements will readily suggest themselves to anyone who is making up a stock for holiday trade. One advantage of the plant arrange- ment is that samples may be made up for stock display, and no more prepared until orders are booked; then they may Boxwood in Pompetan W^are. be made up in spare time, ready for delivery. Thus the work does not all come at the last moment, nor is made-up stock left unsold. Poinsettia Arrangements. Pans and baskets of poinsettias are a staple item of Christmas stock. Pans with low-growing plants, say eighteen inches high, may be embellished with all sorts of pot covers and sell readily. Where good trade is handled a better profit may be made by transferring the plants to a basket and amplifying the decoration. The one pictured was a long, low handled basket of light green, such as any supply house sells at a dollar or so. Two of the small Alpha bells were added. The handle was supplied with a big bow of red ribbon and one of the country's leading retailers got $12 for the job last Christmas. When it is considered that there were three poin- settias and a few adiantums in the bas- ket it may be appreciated that the good taste shown in the arrangement was a very profitable part of the work. Plant Hampers. In the last few seasons plant hampers of small size, for filling with adiantums, cocos, selaginellas, cypripediums, etc., have had a good sale. They are usually square, or nearly so. Some are made of dyed raflfia, some are braided, and the more expensive are of silk or velvet. The one illustrated was green and red, with a velvet poinsettia on the cover and a bow of wide red ribbon. These are not useful except where first-class trade is handled, for $12 to $15 is usually the price for one well filled. Baby Ramblers. The Baby Bambler rose is a splendid thing for Christmas. Because of its dwarf growth it lends itself to all sorts of arrangements, but possibly to nothing better than to use with the twig baskets. The color of the basket ad(& to the effect. In the one illustrated the basket was long and the handle so low that it was obscured by the trusses of bloom. Selaginellas and asparagus were used to fill in between the basket and the roses. The handle was tied with a big bow of watered silk ribbon. This was a large basket and sold for $15 in a metropoli- tan store, but similar arrangements may be made, sn^ller in size, to cost only a dollar or two and sell for whatever margin of profit the trade will stand. Birchbark Ware. Birchbark ware has undergone many improvements since it first was put on the market and is now among the best of staple articles. It is in especial de- mand at Christmas and Easter. It may be used in so many ways that it is not necessary to recount them. One of the illustrations in this issue is a box nearly four times as long as it is wide. The coloring of the bark is of itself an attraction. It contrasts well with the green of the selaginellas, a^aragus, primulas and cyclamens, the flowers of the latter red and white. A green rib- bon bow was used. These arrangements may be made up in size and material to sell at from 50 cents to $10 and for a cheap, ready seller there is not much to beat them. The Braided Basket. A staple basket is the one of braided colored straw. It comes in handy every day in the year and if not sold for Decembeb 13, 1906. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 243 The Basket of Poinsettias is One of the Standard Christmas Arrangements. Christmas can be used in numberless ways. The one illustrated was of green and gold and was tied with watered silk ribbon running all around, with a bow at each corner. It was a large size, filled with cyclamen, dracaenas, ericas, asparagus and other plants. It is cap- able of being filled with almost any stock at hand And is such an article as should always be on hand in a variety of sizes and colors in every retail store. SPORTS. [A paper by Patrick O'Mara, read before the Horticultural Society of New York, December 12, 1906.] It is with much misgiving as to my fit- ness for the task that I approach this subject, and willingly would I forego it entirely. It is to be hoped that at some future meeting some one competent to deal with it from its scientific aspect will be found who will address this body on the subject and treat it exhaustively, as I believe there are many of us who are intensely interested in it. The possi- bility that I may say something which will induce a further ventilation of the subject here is probably the motive which impels me to venture into it now. It is not my purpose to broadly consider the question of sports, but only to con- fine myself to a few of the leading va- rieties of cultivated plants which have originated in that manner, with possibly a passing reference to a few noted "seed sports," so popularly designated to dis- tinguish them from those which have been produced by bud variation. Definition of Sports. A ' * sport, ' ' as popularly understood among florists and gardeners, is that portion of a plant which assumes one or more characteristics essentially different from the rest of the plant, either in flower, foliage or habit. The vexed ques- tion among gardeners and florists is how this change takes place, to what prime cause can it be ascribed. I candidly confess to knowing little of what science has imparted on the subject, but that lit- tle leads me to believe that nothing defi- nite has been enunciated. The preponderance of opinion, as far as I have noticed it, seems to be that sporting is due mainly to conditions of growth, or to put it in one word, en- vironment. This cause is not accepted by the vast majority of growers as re- sponsible for the phenomena of sports, the general belief being that it lies in the blood, to use the vernacular, or, to put it in one word, heredity. Environment or Heredity. In his paper presented to this society March 8, 1904, Prof. L. C. Corbett said : "Sporting, then, may be encouraged by extreme conditions. Either extreme feeding or extreme poverty may induce plants to sport. Severe changes in cli- mate or soil conditions may result in decided changes in stature, habits of growth and fruitfulness, which are as marked attributes of a sport as are changes in the color of foliage or fruit. ' This is undoubtedly true in the ab- stract, but it is when brought to bear on concrete cases that it fails to fully satisfy. If by extreme feeding is meant the culture given to roses, for example, by florists and gardeners, when forced under glass for winter flowering, the question arises why more sports are not developed. When thousands of growers are forcing the same variety, it is not always the one who is feeding his crop the heaviest that finds it produces a sport. The fact, too, that a few va- rieties alone have displayed sportive ten- dencies to the extent of producing new sorts, strengthens the conviction that the cause lies in the blood. Rose Sports. The rose Catherine Mermet has been the most prolific in sports of the many which have been grown for cut flowers. Its greatest descendants as sports are The Bride and Bridesmaid, the latter dis- placing the parent entirely. If feeding was the prime cause, why did not many growers find a Bride and a Bridesmaid? Catherine Mermet also produced Waban and, I think, one or two other sports which have disappeared. Parti-colored sports have appeared occasionally in The Bride and now a grower has one beauti- fully striped white and pink, the latter being the Bridesmaid color and largely predominating. Maman Cochot produced a white sport, and in this connection I would say that when a neutral shade like pink is pro- duced, it seems that the combination which produced it carries with it the ten- 244 The Weekly Florists' Review* Dbcbmbeb 13, 1006. dency at some time to produce a white sport. The rose we know as American Beauty has produced two pink sports — American Belle and Queen of Edgely — and it is not too much to expect that from these if largely grown would emerge a white sport. From the rose Safrano came the yel- low sport, Isabella Sprunt, and from Perle des Jardins came Sunset; from the latter, I believe, came Lady Dorothea; from Golden Gate came Ivory; from Bon Silene came the striped rose, American Banner, which in addition to the change in flower showed a marked change in foliage, being decidedly rugose. The lat- ter characteristic is slowly disappearing under propagation; in fact, has almost vanished at the present time. Caprice, Striped La France and other striped roses coming from neutral tinted sorts, coupled with the fact that the other sports enumerated follow in the same line, are suflBcient warrant for the be- lief that the combination which resulted in the parent sorts laid the foundation for the sports which resulted from them, and that the manner of growth had no part in it as a prime cause. Cycle in Bouvardia. The sporting cycle in bouvardia is very interesting and in results it exactly first on the market the other name was dropped. The original stock of B. ele- gans in both cases was purchased from Peter Henderson and the conclusion ar- rived at then was that the elements of change were contained in the plants, and that it would occur under any circum- stances. Subsequently a double white and a double pink variety were produced as sports, and later a dwarf variety, White Bouquet, sported from B. Vreelandii with William Bock, of Cambridge, Mass., who retained the old nomenclature (Vree- landii), having the same flowers as the parent, but a dwarf, bushy habit, about a foot high when in flower. The fact that these sports were pro- gressive in color leads to the belief that the cause for their appearance was with- in the plant rather than that their com- ing was brought about by outside forces. As bcruvardias are largely propagated by root cuttings, it strengthens this belief. Salvia and Abutilon. An instance where at a bound a white sport issued from a scarlet variety is found in Salvia splendens alba. From Salvia splendens, at the base of the tube in the latter is always found a bleached white, which extends less or more beyond the sheath; therefore, the white sport The Aristocrat of Plant Arrangements. \ parallels the examples set forth relating to the rose. From B. Hogarth, a deep scarlet variety, issued B. elegans, a lighter-colored form, and from that is- sued B. Davidsonii, a pure white. It is interesting to note that two white sports originated at the same time, one in Greenville, now Jersey City, N. J., with Mr. Vreeland and offered as B. Vree- landii, the other B. Davidsonii. They were identical and as the Davidsonii was seems a natural progression, as the sub- sequent striped sport is. The double > abutilon, a* sport from A. Thompsonii and identical in its varie- gated foliage and color of flowers, is the only case of sporting which I can recall in that plant, although widely grown. Progression in Colors. The carnation sports are numerous and here again they are progressive. I can not recall, for instance, where a yellow issued from a red or white, or a white from a yellow or a crimson. It is when neutral shades are reached that sporting begins. The same is true of chrysanthe- mums and to a lesser extent of dahlias, both of which are very prolific in sports. It seems to be along well-defined lines of color changes then that sporting fol- lows, and the layman may well be par- doned when he arrives at the conclusion that it is in the blood and is not brought about by growing conditions. If the lat- ter theory was correct it seems to me there would be no limit to sports, while the limitations seem to be arbitrarily fixed, which is not the case with seminal reproduction. When Habit Changes. Another phase of sporting is when the habit of the plant is changed, some ex- amples of which I have alluded to pre- viously. Climbing roses issue frequently from dwarf sorts, particularly in the monthly class. As far as I can recall, the flower in such cases is always iden- tical with the parent. In the hybrid per- petual, and hybrid tea classes, too, climb- ing sports are produced, but there is a difference very marked from the monthly sports. The latter are easily fixed and never run back, while the others to the best of my knowledge are never abso- lutely fixed, and thus are constant rever- sions, temporary and permanent, in in- dividual plants. The foliage sports are many, but I will only mention one, viz., the Golden Bedder coleus, which resulted as a sport from Lady Burrill, a variety with harlequin markings of dark red and yellow. It has never reverted. While on the subject of coleus, I can- not forbear from referring to a marked instance of the occurrence, wide apart, of a similar break in this plant. The golden-leaved coleus originated in Eng- land and was imported by Peter Hender- son. Before the plants arrived seedlings raised from seed saved on the place from the old, dark-leaved sorts developed some golden varieties. Seed Sports. In Prof. Corbett's paper, already quoted from, he says : * ' Burpee 's dwarf lima bean is a good example of a sport where the habit of the plant was marked- ly changed." This brings us into the realm of sieed sports, wider and more complex than the other, and I do not mean to explore it to any extent. Prof. Bailey is authority for the state* ment that: "Bud variation and seed variation are one in kind ; ' ' and again : "I am ready to say that I believe bud variation to be one of the most signifi- cant and important phenomena of veget- able life, and that it is due to the same causes, operating in essentially the same way, which underlie all variations in the plant world." Again he observes: "I want to express my conviction that mere sports are rarely useful. Sports are no doubt the result of very unusual or com- plex stimuli or of unwonted re^angibil- ity of the energy of growth, and not hav- ing been induced by conditions which act uniformly over a course of time they are likely to be transient." Again: "The vexed questions associated with bud vari- ation are not yet greatly elucidated." Again: "All these conclusions prove the unwisdom of endeavoring to account for the evolution of all the forms of life upon any single hypothesis; and they il- lustrate with greater emphasis the com- plexity of even the fundamental forces in December 13, 1006. The Weekly Florists' Review. 245 Birchbark Box of Cyclamens and Selas^inella. the progression of organic nature." Again : * ' Now this matter of bud varia- tion has been a most puzzling one to all writers upon evolution who have touched upon it. It long ago seemed to me to be inexplicable, but it is no more un- intelligible than seminal variation of plants. ' ' These quotations from "The Survival of the Unlike" are introduced to show how contradictory even an eminent au- thority on the subject can be, at least so it appears to me, a layman. If I under- stand him at all, it is to the effect that all sports are the result mainly of the conditions under which the subjects are grown; that all variations are of a sportive character ; that the difference be- tween well-cultivated and poorly-culti- vated plants is a sportive one. The average florist and gardener is hardly prepared to accept that view ; per- haps the reasoning is too subtle for him to follow. He knows that no cultivation of which he is master can make a poor variety as good as a good one; he knows that sports, as he understands them, are 8pora(fic and many believe that by a care- ful study of heredity on the part of scientists the law governing sports might 'be discovered. The Dwarf Bean. But to return to the lima bean. Here again we find a cycle of change. Three sports appeared within a very short time, almost simultaneously, viz., Kum- merle's, subsequently called Dreer's; Henderson's, the latter appearing with several growers at the same time, and Burpee's. Of the origin of the first two I have no specific knowledge; they merely happened; but as to the last, the raiser (I had almost said the creator) claimed that a horse trod on a plant while it was young, that it never grew to be a climber, and that the beans re- produced dwarf plants. This was ganer- ally known in the trade and more than one grower crippled vine plants in an effort to develop a dwarf, but without success. The White Plume celery is another notable example of a seed sport, and once the break came others followed. Fern Sports. I had almost forgotten to mention the latest and most interesting forms of sporting, viz., the ferns which have sported from the Boston variety. If I remember correctly, when that variety first made its appearance, there was con- siderable discussion as to what it really was, and it was finally classified as a sport from Nephrolepis exaltata. Darwin said: "Of all the causes which induce variability, excess of food, whether or not changed in nature, is probably the most powerful." Here again we have the food question. The florist and gardener believes that the amount of food which will bring his crop to the highest perfection is not excessive ; possibly he is wrong. The excessive amount is that which will cause deterior- ation, and it is not under such condi- tions that sports have appeared with him. It might not serve any useful purpose, yet it seems to promise an interesting field of study for some of our scientists to thoroughly examine into sports ob- tained through bud variation under do- mestication in an effort to clear away the mists which now surround their origin. TROUBLE WITH MIGNONETTE. Can you tell us what to do with our bench of mignonette? The seeds were sown the latter part of July in solid beds and we left three and four plants in each hill. They were not pinched back, as I was told we would get better blooms by growing them that way, and now the plants are three feet high and touch the glass. We have bent them over, but they keep growing up. The center stalk is very strong and the side shoots are about the size of a lead-pencil and we can just see the bud in some of them, while the center stalks have buds the size of a silver quarter. The frost on the glass will kill the buds. Now what we would like to know is, shall we cut the center shoots and thin the side shoots, as they are very thick? Will the second crop be all right? We feel worried about it, as we have about 600 plants and if we don't do something we will lose the en- tire lot. A. E. & S. You do not say at what temperature you have kept your mignonette. From its present condition I would say that it has been too high. After wintry weather arrives and you have to depend on artificial heat, with little opportunity to give free ventilation, the temperature at night should not be over 45 degrees, and a few degrees lower will do no harm. The time of sowing was all right, but you should have left only one plant to a ^^^=^^»=*^?^^^^iS K>fe -n '- "^mr^m..-:^^ One of the Staple Styles of Plant Hampers. 246 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Decbmbbe 13, 1906. hill and the plants should not be closer than one foot. When the little plants were three or four inches high the center of the leading growth should have been pinched out, which would induce a strong lateral growth. By all means cut out the long center growth now. Cut down to within four or five inches of the last lateral growth and if not too hard and woody you will get more side shoots. As the lateral growths lengthen keep them tied up. This is not a big job, as a slender stake and piece of white twine loosely encircling the growths is all you want. Keep the night temperature down to 45 degrees and give ventilation on all possible occasions, even if it is only an inch crack, and that's all you can do. With this rational treatment you should cut mignonette from New Year's on to July. If you did not do it this year, please remember another year that mi- gnonette should be planted only on a bench or bed that has the fullest ex- posure to light. It is useless on a shaded bench. W. S. Winter Protection Now Needed. At daylight Wednesday morning, De- cember 5, the thermometer stood just at zero, and in the northern parts of New York state 14 degrees below. This is rather sudden, and reminds us that it is time to assume our heaviest overcoats and give fullest protection to our patient plants and bulbs, which we shall later bring into the greenhouse. It is well not to be too early in covering the hardy bulbs. They have been, since putting in the flats, covered with three or four inches of soil. If the frost has gone into this soil two inches all the better, but now it is time to put on five or six inches of stable litter that is mostly straw. This covering is not applied so much to protect the bulbs from injury as to prevent the whole mass, covering and flats, from freezing up tight, which makes it a troublesome and laborious job wh^n you want to get in a few dozen flats. Bulbous Stock. This reminds me that if you examine your flats of Von Sion narcissi and find them well rooted, you can now bring in a supply that will do you for the next two months. I would by no means ad- vocate this treatment in the case of early tulips, for the tulips are better left out in the cold earth until you want to put them into a forcing heat. With the nar- cissus it is different. You can bring them in and put the flats beneath a bench in a cool house. They will go on rooting and growing slowly and you can put them into a stronger heat to force as you desire. Unless for special demand, don 't bring in any of the early tulips before December 20. There are other flowers in abundance and if you only get fifty per cent of good tulip flowers that does not pay. In, case I should not remember to mention it in future notes, don't attempt to force tulips or the Trumpet narcissi unless you have the proper facilities, which are, for January flowering, a top heat of 80 degrees to 90 degrees with a heavy shade over them, plenty of water at- the roots, but not a violent heat at the roots. A good material for shade for covering your forcing house is ducking, which in every city can be had second-hand from people who supply this material for cov- ering floors. If somewhat soiled, it is none the worse for our purpose. Don 't let any frost touch the bulbs or tops of Paper White narcissi and don't let much frost get at your Boman hya- cinths. Cover the Roses. Hybrid roses that were laid down out- doors last month, and covered with three or four inches of soil, will now want a covering of leaves or long, strawy stable litter or it may be diflBcult to get them out about the middle of next month. That will be about the time you must get them started for the coming early Easter, Valley for Early Use. l^ly of the valley pips that are out in frames and covered with a few inches of soil should not be exposed to frequent rains or melted snow. Whether freezing of the pips is essential we are not pre- pared to say. We are aware, however, that if not exposed to sudden thawing few of our plants are more hardy. For Christmas and New Year's you must since last May and have been prevented because growth has been arrested by a temperature a few degrees below freez- ing. So anxious are they to grow that as soon as released from the cold, life and growth will start. If received from the cold storage house while the pips are actually frozen, let them thaw out slowly. Now, it is evident there is noth- ing in the shape of forcing needed with these retarded little flowers. The requi- sites are a temperature both at root and top of 50 degrees to 60 degrees, no bright flashes of sunshine and no draughts of cold air. The florist who forces hun- dreds of thousands of the delicate flow- ers knows about the process. I am writing for that more numerous class who force 5,000 or 10,000 roots from New Year's to Easter and who can begin with his first batch of November imported roots about December 15. Case for Valley. A few years ago I took some trouble to write up the details of a frame inside a greenhouse that was used very success- fully. It was simply six inches of sand on a slate bench with four 4 V^ -inch hot water pipes which kept the sand for early forcing up to 85 degrees. The tem- perature of the house was 60 degrees. We shaded with a wooden shutter for two weeks, then for the next week a shading of cheese-cloth, and the last few days gave them the full light. The frame was so arranged we could water the sand between the rows of pips without wetting the bells, a very important point. 5^v- ing to use this house for forcing Easter lilies, we had to raise the temperature in March up to 70 and 75 degrees and that was too high for the valley, which be- came weak. Valley Under Benches. Last year we tried another plan which was a surprising success. It was one anybody can use who has two hot water pipes beneath the bench. We put twelve Valley Forced on Hot- water Pipes Under a Bench. rely on the cold storage stock, but the fall imported pips can be had in good flower a few days after New Year 's. The conditions required by these cold storage pips and by the freshly imported ones are almost exactly opposite. The cold storage pips have been anxious to flower to fifteen pips in a 6-inch pot in ordinary potting soil, covered with an inch of sphagnum and placed the pots on the pipes, not actually in contact with the pipes but kept off with two pieces of lath. We used soil in preference to sand because it does not dry out so fast. We Decembeh 13, 1906.

Then they were lifted to the bench in the full light and carefully watered, not wetting the flowers, and shaded from bright sun. They were uni- formly fine. I am sure ninety-five per cent of the pips thus treated gave us fine spikes. So there is more than one way of doing some things. I think it is a mistake to cut the roots off short. We shortened the roots only one inch. Wo have seen the roots chopped off to within three inches of the base of the pip and the flowers were poor. Christmas Plants. Whatever you need in the way of Christmas plants, procure at once. Don 't delay until the last day or two and then telegraph and have to take what is left. Whatever popular flowering, fruiting or decorative plant you are short of you should buy. If in the retail business you can't afford to say, "I don't want this and that, for I have plenty of so and so." You must keep up with the fashion, even if you come out only even on the stock you have to purchase. Storage for Greens. Holly and ground pine soon will be arriving. Just a word now in reference to their care. If you can't unpack the green at once, then keep out of doors, but cover the sides of the crates with matting, old carpet or some material to keep daylight away, for all that is ex- posed to the light will turn brown. The holly tree endures frost, but that's no reason why the holly branches should be exposed to zero weather outside. Store the cases in some cool, dark room. A few degrees of frost won't hurt, but se- vere freezing will cause a loss of many berries, and what's holly without the berries? Protecting Pansies. About this time of the year we usu- ally have something to say about cover- ing pansies that have to face our cruel, cold and treacherous winter, but annually we hear the same dialogue in April: "How are your pansies?" ' ' What 's alive are looking fine, but they got winter-killed, many of them." Go into the woods and get a load or two of evergreen boughs and place them lightly over your plants. There is no covering so good as evergreen and no evergreen so good for the purpose as the hemlock, Abies Canadensis. Its branches are broad, and spreading, and light, and curve up at the ends, so by reversing their order of growth and putting the convex shape of the branch upwards they lie lightly on the plants. Straw thinly laid over the plants may some- times do good, and sometimes it rots the plants. William Scott. PECKY CYPRESS. Pecky cypress is about the most un- handsome wood one could imagine. If a person knows nothing about it, its appearance is that of being already well rotted when it is just from the mill. The holes in it are not rot, nor do they seem to be the work of borers. Just what is the cause of the ill appearance lumbermen are not able to say with cer- tainty. But on the theory that handsome is that handsome does, greenhouse own- ers have taken a great liking to Pecky cypress. The big growers around Chi- cago are using nothing else for their bench material. The first cost is about the same as hemlock, and it lasts so much longer that the cost in the end is only a fraction of the cost of other lumber. Poehlmann Bros. Co. used 250,000 feet of Pecky cypress in the benches they built last spring. Peter Reinberg now has three cars on the track for unloading and his order for immediate delivery is 100,000 feet. The Adam Schillo Lumber Co. has 700,000 feet of Pecky cypress in Louisiana, drying for delivery between now and spring. These are boards 1x6 and from eight to twenty feet long, being selected so that they will just strike the crosspieces of benches built on posts four feet apart. Since the cypress mills have found so good a demand for Pecky cy- press among greenhouse owners they have advanced the price. At Chicago it is now worth about $22 per 1,000 feet in carload lots.

The production of chrysanthemums this season has been the greatest on record; also the season has been peculiar in that with many growers chrysanthe- mums were later than usual and the blooming seasons of many varieties seemed sadly mixed: the early sorts were late and in many instances the late sorts bloomed before the midseason ones were ready. The result has been that, generally speaking, the chrysan- themum season has been short; it was late in beginning and early finished. Growers make widely varying reports as to the financial results of their chrysanthemum crops. Those who were fortunate in having early mums obtained splendid prices in practically every market throughout the country. As the midseason sorts came on the supply naturally forced prices down and at the time of the glut values were fully as low as in any previous year; in fact, in many markets it is asserted that during' the height of the season the average prices were the lowest in some years. But the glut was of shorter duration than usual, and as soon as supplies shortened up prices advanced, particu- larly on such stock as could be called good, though a large part of the late stuff is not usable in the best trade. The late cut has again realized fair values and those who have good flowers coming on up to Christmas may rest assured of satisfactory returns. The lesson which growers may learn from this season's experience is that the effort should be toward procuring early cuts of desirable quality and toward procuring late sorts to bloom after the midseason glut is over. There is no money in mums when they are being marketed by the million. VMTE MAUD DEAN. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of a vase of chrysanthe- mums which is a white sport of that splendid commercial variety, Maud Dean. We are aware that Dean has sported in other places, and an excellent authority tells us of two firms which sent out white sports of this famous variety. But are sports always identical! "We believe not necessarily so. Note how widely different are the sports of our two lead- ing florists' flowers, the rose and carna- tion. The two greatest roses of the day, by far the most commercially im- portant, are each sports, having come from that fine rose, Catherine Mermet. You will remember that previous to the advent of Bridesmaid there were at least two pink sports from Catherine Mermet, which were largely tried and found want- ing and dropped into the rubbish pile. Then from Bridesmaid came the glorious Bride. Then again from Mme. Cusin came Mrs. Morgan and Canadian Queen, very dissimilar. Then from the same carnation we have a great variety of sports, the Lawson in particular, and later that grand variety. Enchantress, has given us many varieties. We have used the term sport because it is brief and generally understood, but the im- mortal Charles Darwin in his book, "Plants and Animals Under Domestica- tion," terms what we gardeners call a sport a bud variation, which sports truly are. It is true that bud variations usually differ little from the stock from which they came except in one important feature, and that is color, which is im- portant to a florist, but of little value to the naturalist. In judging a horse or from which it came. It is as easy to grow; it will bear two or even three good flowers to one plant; it can be planted early or late and possesses the neat foliage, flne stem and all-round excellent habit of old Maud Dean. Some of the flowers in the photograph show the eye and in this sport there is a faint shade of pink surrounding the eye at the base of the petals, but when given time to incurve its petals, showing no eye, it is a pure white flower. The highest character we can give it is found in the fact that our best customers or admirers of the chrysanthemum, who are willing to pay $4 or $5 a dozen for good flowers, pass by Eaton, Chadwick, Jones ''■•mm •"^JIL * * ^^■M 9k9m P ^A. 1 ■«■ Scott's White Sport of Maud Dean. cow, a dog or fancy fowls, all points of the breed are considered of more value than color. In the case of this white Maud Dean, what better character would you want for it than to know that except in color it is identical with the famous variety and other fine whites and choose this white sport. It originated with the Wm. Scott Co. four years ago, but not until last year did we realize its great value, because we did not have enough to let a few dozen come to their genuine perfection. William Scott. December 13, 190G. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 249 A BRITISH GROWER'S VIEW. In the Special Autumn Number of the Beview appear notes on varieties in which C. H. Totty specially mentions Mrs. Henry Barnes. Judging by the blooms grown here it is difficult to under- stand how flowers of this color can be appreciated in the United States. Here it is dull, although up to the English standard in size. Mrs. A. T. Miller is certainly the best white, either old or new, seen here this season and it is remarkable that in both your country and this it is classed as "rather early." E. G. Hill says, on page 1713, that most of the varieties which are a success here are grown from the crown bud, while the American grower depends on the terminal. The English judges place size first, but when they write of the varieties they put color first. Hence ex- hibitors go for size and the terminal bud does not give it. We are following the American method of exhibiting in vases and I trust ere long we shall give more attention to color. At present with us a variety may have beautiful color and be good in form, but unless it is large it stands no chance to win. The form preferred by the American grower is that which is known here as an incurved Japanese, such as W. Duck- ham and Mrs. Jerome Jones. Elowers of this form certainly pack easily and are -therefore best for the market trade but we prefer, and I think rightly, too, a shaggy Japanese; that is, a bloom with long, drooping florets of medium width which are the making of a deep solid yet elegant flower. ' Single-flowered chrysanthemums are now much in demand, but I do not think they will ever become popular as market flowers, much as they may be appreciated by the private grower. It is quite as costly to grow these properly as it is the larger ordinary market flowers, but pur- chasers expect a much larger bunch for their money than is generally afforded by the single-flowered chrysanthemums. Beturning to the novelties in Japanese likely to suit the American trade, pre- eminently as the best stands Mary juon- nellan. It is of the richest golden yellow and very brilliant, of the color of Butter- cup, but superior; florets are wider and the flower is much larger, bolder and fuller than that variety. It is also right in stem and foliage. I predict great popularity for this among the American growers for several years to come. Exmouth, England. W. J. Godfrey. STOCK PLANTS. I wish to raise 2,500 chrysanthemum plants. How many stock plants will I need? Please give me a list of best paying early and best paying late sorts. A. E. W. Figuring out a healthy plant to be good for twenty cuttings, A. R. W. would need 125 stock plants to furnish him with what plants he needs. Some will go above and some below, but the average should work out as given. A list of the most largely grown would be about as follows: Early, Polly Bose, Alice Byron, C. Touset, white; Monrovia, October Sunshine, yellow; Montmort and Pacific, pinks. Late kinds, Chadwick, Eaton, Mrs. Swin- burne, white; Yellow Eaton, Yellow Chadwick, Nagoya and Mrs. Geo. Beech, yellow. Maud Dean is widely grown An Erica in the Indispensable Porto Rican Mat. yet for late pink, but it is very poor now. When some of the newer ones have proved their worth we may have something better. C. H. T. CHRYSANTHEMUM DAKOMA. In the Beview of November 20 we notice a reference to Chrysanthemum Da- koma. On the whole, the fluent pen of the editor has so arranged this announce- ment as/ to make good reading, and doubtless it is good advertisement for the variety. Yet the article is so con- structed that it presents a tinge of dis- appointment, or at least might be so in- terpreted by those unfamiliar with the fact. This is far from being our motive, for we have learned in our twenty years' experience with chrysanthemum shows to abide by the judges' decision and look happy. For want of time it is needless to go into details regarding the excel- lence of the committee's work. We cer- tainly respect their judgment and are satisfied in every particular. To our knowledge, there is no great sin in offering a variety which has not been approved by the committees. It has been done before; for instance, we sent out Ethelyn in 1903, Uncle John in 1904, and Tioga and Mayor Weaver last spring, under these conditions. In full justice to all concerned, it is only fair to state the last two mentioned were not submitted to the committees. Certificates awarded by the C. S. A. have a tendency to increase the demand for varieties so endorsed and thus are a financial benefit to the recipient, but they do not affect the quality of the variety. There is no warranty, express or implied, that insures the same high standard when grown by others, or pre- vents them from being brought to a higher state of perfection. The reason for taking this course is simply this, our present year's seedlings have given a rather largo number to grow on for next season, and as our space is rather limited we had one of two things to do: either dedicate what we considered two good varieties (Da- koma and lalene) to the dump, or dis- seminate them. Our method of judging seedlings is, comparing them with other good stand- ard sorts, and believing there is a place for both of these, have decided to send them out on their merits as they appear to us.

During the next two months the great- est care will have to be taken to main- tain vigor and health in all the varie- ties, as the steady firing, accompanied by short, dark days, has a debilitating effect on the plants. Crops are so short and prices so tempting that many will be induced to resort to forcing tactics to forward the cuts. As a rule plants are in no condition at this season to bear any extra strain and the growers who resort to forcing are running a big risk of losing or ma- terially injuring the succeeding crops. Experts have their own favorite means for hastening a crop, but with all their knowledge, care and skill there is still an element of danger which it is better to avoid if possible. These conservative growers who exer- cise patience and study deliberative gro^NTing and who make the health of their plants their first consideration are more likely to have the most satisfac- tion at the end of the season. Owing to the lack of sunshine, the wood and foliage are of a much softer character than usual and if the temper- ature is increased the trouble will be augmented and the wood for succeeding crops will be of infefior character, de- ficient in stamina, and will be disap- pointing for propagating purposes. Ventilation at this time should re- ceive the greatest attention, night and day, missing no opportunity to give all that the weather will permit. Fuel being so expensive, it seems like foolishness to advise free ventilation wliile firing has to be kept going, but this is absolutely necessary to the health of the stock and those who will not and those who can not are sure to feel the consequences sooner or later. It must also be borne in mind that the vitality of the plants is now at its lowest and that they cannot use so large a supply of food, and as evaporation is also low at this season the supply of wa- ter will also have to be carefully regu- lated according to the limited wants of the stock. Liquid feeding once a week during bright weather will strengthen the wood and help to develop the cut. Careful watching to ascertain the wants of the plants and to supply these at the proper season is one of the prin- cipal duties of the grower and the abil- ity which he displays in fathoming this problem will be reflected in the quan- tity and quality of the cut as the season advances. Ribes. ROSE PROPAGATION. An uncommon method of propagating roses that are diflScult to raise from cut- tings is noted in the Oester-reichische Garten Zeitung for this month. In the garden of Carboni Giovanni, at Allva, in Piedmont, an interesting mode of prop- agating roses with the utmost certainty of them rooting consists of placing a funnel of tin on the shoot to be propa- gated, after ringing the rind in the month of July, and then filling the fun- nel with soil and moss. The ringing com- pels the forming of a callus; and the shoot is severed in the month of Septem- ber and planted as an ordinary cutting. Our rosarians might find in this Italian method a ready means of overcoming a common occurrence in the propagation o£^ other plants than roses. — Horticultural Trade Journal. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. The president of the "Washington Flo- rists' Club, Peter Bisset, notifies us that Mrs. S. C. Briggs offers a cash prize of $10 for six or more blooms of any new rose never before exhibited. This prize is given especially to encourage private gardeners, who would be likely to show six blooms, but would not be able, owing to limited space, to show a greater num- ber. The H. F. Michell Co., of Philadel- phia, offers a cup valued at $25 for a vase of Richmond rose to be exhibited next March, and Miss M. L. Hammond, of Fishkill-on-Hudson, N. Y., offers a $5 gold-piece for the prettiest exhibition in the hall, to be decided by some three Washington ladies visiting the exhibi- tion. Benjamin Hammond, Sec'y. LILIUM PHILIPPINENSIS. This new white trumpet lily seems des- tined to become of very great value to both private and commercial growers. The short time necessary to flower it after potting surprises all who are grow- ing it for the first time. We found last year that it was all the introducers claimed for it and from a batch of small bulbs potted September 8 we cut flowers December 3 this year. These bulbs were grown in a coldframe for nearly half that period or would have flowered ear- lier. The long, pure white, sweet scented flowers arrange beautifully in vases. The stems are sufficiently strong, without be- ing too rigid, as is the case with other forcing liliums, and the foliage is so much more graceful than that of other lilies that any flower lover would not hesitate a moment which variety to se- lect when both were purchasable. For floral designs this lily is superior to any other white variety and we fully expect it will in a few years be as much a market necessity as Harrisii and longi- florum now are. Six or seven bulbs may be grown in a 6-inch pot or pan and a dozen or more in an 8-inch pan for a good effect. W. N. C. CARNATION NOTES.- WEST. . The Art of Propagating. What I have said in the last three numbers is what might be termed the mechanical part of propagating. Any man with ordinary judgment will read- ily understand how to proceed as far as getting the cuttings into the sand in first-class shape. But now we come to the real art in propagating and I will say that it is impossible for any one to give you this information as coiipletely as you will gain it from experience. There are so many little points and turns and tricks that one can not cover the subject com- pletely offhand. Every morning brings its new phases and only after looking over the situation can the propagator decide on the course to be pursued that day. Each batch of cuttings will have to be handled somewhat differently, too, according to the time of the year and the kind of weather that prevails, etc. The condition to be sought for can be described in a few words, but those few words will contain volumes if elaborated on so as to cover every detail. It is just this: keep your cuttings in a fresh con- dition, but wet the foliage as little as possible, and give all the light they will bear. Be sure the foliage is dry at night. If you can keep the cuttings in this con- dition for three to four weeks you will be sure of success. You will soon dis- cover that it requires fine judgment to keep within the proper bounds in every direction and to not overstep in one way while trying to go the limit in another direction which may seem necessary. Most Frequent Cause of Trouble. Perhaps the most frequent cause of trouble, especially with beginners, is in allowing the cuttings to become wilted and it is the quickest way to ruin a batch of cuttings. A carnation cutting that is badly wilted might as well be thrown out at once. It will seldom freshen up and amount to anything and in trying to freshen it up you are apt to bring on other complications that will render it unfit even if it does finally Decbmbeb 13, 1006. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 25 J House ot Aristocrat Carnation at Joliet, III. (Photographed December 1, 191)6 ) root. So you will find, to begin with, that it is necessary to keep the sun off them, at least until they begin to root. What I mean by the sun is the warm rays that will cause wilting. When the sun first comes up in the morning and before it sets in the evening, while it sheds considerable light, yet it is not warm enough to cause any wilting and a few minutes of such light will do no harm. But be watchful at such times and do not let them have too much of it. Until you become somewhat familiar with the work you will do well to let down the curtain at first sight of the sun and raise it in the evening when the sun's rays cease to strike the cuttings. At this time of the year that will be an hour or so before dusk and will give the moisture a chance to evaporate before dark. Avoid Draughts. A more frequent cause of wilting, be- cause it comes often, even when you have prepared against the sun, is from draughts of air passing over the cuttings. On a bright day you may have to open the ventilators to keep the temperature down and the wind may be blowing con- siderably. Not only will a gust of wind enter at the ventilators occasionally, but evaporation is rapid and you will find it diflicult to keep the atmosphere in the house charged with moisture properly. Such a day is worse on a batch of car- nation cuttings than any other that I know of. Wetting down the walks and under the benches helps somewhat, but only temporarily and partially. One is tempted to spray the cuttings frequently, and it is necessary to a de- gree, and there is where the trouble be- gins. If you will spray just enough to sustain the cuttings during the ordeal and so they will dry off by night, all is well, but in your anxicty you will likely spray too late in the day and the cut- tings will stand with moisture on them over night. If this occurs only at long intervals it may not result seriously if conditions are returned to normal the following day, but if it occurs repeat- edly trouble will surely follow. Rust. Varieties that are inclined to rust will develop a ease of that disease. Others will develop the common leaf-spot or fairy-ring or the common cutting bench fungus. Any of these will soon ruin a batch of cuttings and all are caused by too much moisture on the foliage. On such days as this, instead of spraying the cuttings I would suggest that you lay newspapers over them besides lowering the curtains. The curtains will keep off the draughts and the papers will arrest evaporation and if the sand is fairly moist there will be suflBcient moisture under the paper to sustain the cuttings in fine condition. Kemove the papers as soon as it is considered safe ; too much dense shade is not good for the cuttings either. Avoid Too Much Spraying. We often hear it said that you should spray the- cuttings every day or water them every day. Either is poor advice and should not be taken seriously. Such advice does not apply any more to cut- tings in the propagating bench than it does to plants growing on the bench. You will often find several days in suc- cession when the weather is dark and gloomy and the atmosphere is laden with moisture. You will find it necessary to run steam around and to keep the ven- tilators open to dry off the excessive moisture in the house. To spray cut- tings on such a day would be utter folly. Watering should be done when it is needed to keep the sand in a uniform moist condition, but it should never be watered enough to keep it in a soggy condition. Much will depend on the weather and the amount of firing re- quired; also the grain of the sand. You may have to water every day or two sometimes, but at other times you may not need to water more than once in a week. Examine the sand in the morning and consider what kind of a day is to follow and make allowance for it. In the evening after a warm day the sand is likely to look dry on the surface, which may deceive you. Keep Close Watch. Look over the cuttings carefully every day and if you notice any that are badly wilted or begin to decay pick them out and destroy them. You will frequently see such a one here and there without apparent reason. If left to decay it may start cutting bench fungus and cause you all kinds of trouble. If this fungus does put in its appearance you will do well to pull out all the cuttings in its immediate vicinity. Take out the sand and sprinkle around the edges with lime and sulphur. However, if you start with good sand and keep up proper conditions it will not appear. Spraying with formalin will help, too,, but I do not advise spraying nor dust- ing with any of the remedies you use on the growing stock when it can be helped and never with as strong doses. Cuttings are not able to stand as strong doses as growing plants. A pinch of sulphur dropped here and there on the steam pipe under the propagating bench will help to keep the atmosphere pure, but do not overdo it, as it has a drying effect which under certain conditions would work harm. You will find that during December, January and February, the weather is usually such that you can control condi- tions in the house fairly well without ex- posing the cuttings to high winds and drying elements, and propagating is much easier and safer than it is later in the spring. So for this reason, if for no other, you should get your cuttings into the sand during this time. A. F. J. Baur. SCALE OF POINTS. The recently organized Winter Flower- ing Carnation Society in England has adopted the following interesting scale of points for judging new varieties: Color n Calyx B size 5 General appearance. . 6 Fragrance 5 Stem 5 Substance 5 Habit of plant B A variety must gain at least thirty points to entitle it to a first-class certifi- cate, and twenty-five points to entitle it to an award of merit. THE GLASS MARKET. The market for window glass is quiet in December. Production is going stead- ily forward, but no large stocks are yet on hand, as manufacturers cut as little of the so-called small sizes as they can. Sharp, Partridge & Co. and the Pitts- burgh Plate Glass Co., in Chicago, who are the principal sources of supply for greenhouse glass, state that they antici- pate an exceptionally heavy business next spring, early inquiries being more numer- ous than usual and calling for large lots. They expect a large supply to be on hand by the time actual delivery begins. They say the principal call is now for 16x20, and that buyers of this size should place orders early to be sure of getting what they want. Other sizes are more easily supplied because the demand does not run so largely to them. In the matter of price, it appears that the strong demand, among other factors, will tend to hold the market steady. The American Window Glass Co. is perfecting its glass-blowing machine and this may have a tendency to lower prices, for, with the aid of the tariff, the blowers' wages are the principal factor in holding prices of window glass at the level they have attained in the last few years.

THE SIMPLE LIFE As it is Led in South America. **It does seem to me," remarked the night fireman, who had annexed the only newspaper within reach. ' ' that these tropical hurricanes is getting too com- mon. ' ' "I don't know as I'd call 'em com- mon, ' ' observed Jaggs. ' ' Anyway, there's always somethink uncommon about 'em. I knew a dtap down in the Windward Islands as was diggin' yams in his back garden when the hurricane started, and when it was over he was fishin' in twenty-six feet o' water right in the same spot." ' * I suppose, ' ' remarked Tommy, ' ' that the bottom droppetl out. ' ' * ' Nothink o ' the sort, ' ' remarked Jaggs, * ' the water just blew up out o ' the sea; you'd be sur^irised if you was to see a real windstorm. It reminds me o' that place in Kansas where I went to show 'em how to grow roses; a cy- clone come along and blew the artesian well inside out." "Jaggs," asked Tommy solemnly, **doe8 an affidavit go with that there cyclone ? ' ' "I must say," remarked Jaggs, ig- noring the speaker, ''that them West Indian storms is sometimes a bit awk- ward. That chap I was tellin' you about says to me as he don't mind fishin' in his own garden, but what he did ob- ject to was havin' to chase a cuttlefish out o' the kitchen when the water went down." "That was a bit sing'Iar, " remarked Tommy. "But why not try kindness on the cuttlefish, instead o' chivyin' the poor beast off o' the premises?" "Because kindness and cuttlefish don't jibe," remarked Jaggs, firmly, "though I did know a chap in the China Seas as thought he could train cuttlefish for divin' in the pearl trade." "And what happened to him?" asked the young man from the agricultural college. "He got into trouble with the pearl divers' union," said Jaggs, sadly, "and 'ad to turn all them cultivated cuttle- fish loose after givin' 'em an edication as spoiled 'em. for hanythink else. There was a c(iap at Hongkong as tells me a yarn about seein' a cuttlefish wearin' a bathin' suit, somewheres in the Flores Straits, and I always thought it was one 0 ' that bunch. ' ' Jaggs got up to fill Davy's pipe with Tommy's tobacco, and was just settling down to the enjoyment of that com- munistic luxury wlien the telephone bell rang. After a few minutes of polite monologue, in which Jaggs was heard to great advantage, he emerged from the booth, remarking: " It 's a lady as wanted a broken wreath, somethink choice, with a dis- count because she's goin' to give us a big decoratin' order, but I gave her the notion of havin' a piller instead. There's a whole bunch o' them callas will be gettin' whiskers if we don't use 'em up pretty soon. ' ' "I never see a chap like you for changin ' people 's minds, ' ' remarked Tommy, appreciatively. ' ' I believe, if you 'ad 'arf a chance, you 'd sell a gates ajar to a chap as wanted a wed- din' bouquet! " * ' It takes talent to handle a retail trade, ' ' remarked Jaggs, modestly. ' * Some chaps never seems to have any savvy in that line. There was that chap from the Koyal Botanic, as I met when I was shipwrecked up in the Andes — " "Ah," remarked Tommy, who was carving weird figures on a home-made briar pipe, ' ' I did hear a chap say as most o' your 'orrible shipwrecks took* place on dry land. ' ' ' ' Not all of 'em, ' ' remarked Jaggs, indignantly, " there Avasn 't much dry land about that wreck in the South Seas when me and another chap 'ad to live on rain-water and boot-tops for ten days before we was picked up. But when you get mixed up in a Pacific gale with an earthquake and tidal wave on the side, there 's liable to be somethink doin '. ' ' "I never was stuck on them tramp steamers along the Pacific coast," began Jaggs. ' ' They was always full o ' cock- roaches for one thing — most as big as rats, too — and about the only way a chap could get away from 'em was to fall overboard. Then the crew was always gettin' mixed up in some dinky little sawed-off revolution, and about the first ' thing as 'appened after I went aboard the captain laid out the mate. It was a messy sort of a murder, too, and I told him that if he killed another man in my bunk I'd turn in and do a little pacifyin' myself. The crew didn't like it neither and somehow the captain went overboard the next night. I thought askin ' questions might be a bit awk- ward, and it wasn't my funeral any- ways, so I just says as how the decks gets slippery these dark nights, and lets it go at that." "But where it's a question of mur- der," began the night fireman, who was suspected of joining a civic improve- ment association. "Well," remarked Jaggs, easily, "there was the mate to begin with, you see, and even a chap as didn't make a specialty of 'orrid murders might slip overboard of a dark night. Still, there we was, short- 'anded, not a chap on board as knew a sextant from a hole in the ground, alone on the ragin' Pacific." There was an impressive pause, while Jaggs puffed vigorously at his pipe; even the greenhouse terrier showed symptoms of interest. ' ' I didn 't pay much attention to the storm at first, ' ' continued Jaggs. ' ' I was too busy dodgin' cockroaches and makin' myself solid with the crew. The first time I was fired out o' my bunk, I thinks it was just a gentle hint from some one as it was time to get up, but the next time, when I come to I was walkin' on the ceilin' like a fly, with everythink loose piled on top o ' me. There wasn't nothink a chap could do except lay low, and sit tight, so I crawled into my bunk the next time it come around and reckoned I was goin' to drown comfortable, anyway. Last thing I notice before I go to sleep the old tub seemed to be actin' just like a fat man steppin' on a banana peel; it ha^t shootin' the chutes faded out o' sight. ' ' Well, I don 't know how long I was asleep, but when I waked up everythink was calm and peaceful, no jar from the screw nor nothink, and if I 'adn't known it couldn't be, I could swear as I heard birds twitterin' outside. I looked out o' the port-holQ, and all I could see was a chap ridin' a mule, seemed like a mile or so away." "I s 'pose you 'd run ashore over night, ' ' suggested Tommy, with a yawn. ' ' Well, in a manner o ' speakin ' ' ' said Jaggs. ' ' But when I went on deck there wasn't nothink to be seen but mountains and rocks, and a few hard-looMn* citi- zens with striped awnin's over their shoulders, that acted like we was tres- passin'. There wasn't no ocean in sight and I began to think I was just a plain candidate for the foolish house." "It sounds probable, don't it?" re- marked the fireman. "No, Johnson, it don't," responded Jaggs, firmly. " If I was tryin**" to 'and you chaps a lemon, all I'd 'ave to do would be to tell a yarn as sounded prob- able. That's easy; any chump can do it. But there's lots of things that ain't probable happenin' every day, and this was one of 'em. Come to find out, there 'd been a bloomin * tidal wave along of an earthquake; most o' the real es- tate along the coast dropped out o* sight, and a lot o' the ocean was chucked up in the mountains, with us on top, like a Decembeb 13, 1906.

All stock has been kept cleaned up, and now that mums are out of the way the demand has increased for rosea and carnations. Several decorations and funerals kept the retailers busy. At the last meeting of the Florists' Society it was decided to hold a show in connection with the annual meeting in January, at which time the society will award certificates to anything of merit. Those having anything of this kind are requested to make an exhibit. The meeting will be held at the Commer- cial club on January 8 at 2:30 p. m., after which a supper will be served. All state members are invited, also any from other states who can attend. Ernest Hukriede, aged seventy-one, died suddenly December 5. Heart fail- ure was the cause. He was born in Germany and came to this city in 1868. He is survived by a brother and his son Fred. The news of his death came as a shock to his many friends. The business will be carried on by his son. Herman Schilling is confined to the house, the result of an operation. His many friends wish Mm a speedy recov- ery. Frank Harritt will move at once to his new place, Willowmere, southeast of the city. S. WAYSIDE NOTES. J. M. Ward & Co., of Peabody, Mass., have remodeled and enlarged their store. It is finished in Carolina pine, giving a pleasing effect. Two houses have been added for flowering plants. Poinsettias are much in evidence for Christmas. At Salem, Mass., McGee, Geary & Co. had a close call when the opera house adjoining their plant burned recently. By good luck and careful watching the plant escaped with a scorching. Busi- ness has been good, the run of funeral orders unusually heavy. Owing to the value of the land for building purposes M. Miller & Sons ex- pect to tear down their houses at Lynn, Mass., and build a showhouse with oflBce on the site. It is rumored that James Miller expects to install a side partner in one of his new dwelling houses. He was one of the regulars at Dayton and says he never yet attended a national convention without getting some good. He is city forester and is preparing to make war on the gypsy moth. The William Bock place, at Cam- bridge, Mass., was sold at auction last week by N. F. McCarthy. The houses went to W. C. Stickle & Co. and John McKenzie. Mr. McKenzie already has two places and is running them success- fully, growing both for the wholesale and retail trade. Fred C. Becker, of Cambridge, Mass., says prospects for a big holiday trade were never brighter and has made prep- arations accordingly. Dan Murphy, W. E. Doyle's lieutenant at Cambridge, Mass., is justly elated over the largest batch of orders on record for the holidays. Flowering and highly-col- ored foliage plants will be in good de- mand. Mr. Doyle thinks we are even yet in the primary stage of the business. Thomas Roland, of Nahant, Lynn, Mass., has a fine batch of single-flowered zonal geraniums that will be a novelty and doubtless will prove good sellers. Mr. Roland is to the front with a supply of Gloire de Lorraine and ardisias. I learn that the supply of this stock, also oranges, is practically taken up. M. B. Bunker, of Boston, Mass., who was the first to introduce boxwood in design work in the bean city, through S. S. Pennock, fears the supply will soon be exhausted. I noted a handsome wreath being shipped out of town. One-half was composed of Richmond roses, the other lily of the valley on a groundwork of galax. T. F. Galvin, of Boston, is one of the few who keep up a window display of orchids correctly labeled. I noticed in the crowd with what interest the labels were read and commented upon. F. E. Palmer, of Brookline, Mass., says that since his essay was published he has harder work than ever to live up to the standard set therein and says it acts as a stimulus to go one better. His automobile is a dandy. Jas. E. Quinn, the veteran craftsman of Brookline, has handed the active part of his snug business over to his son, Stephen, who has been interested many years. Quinn Bros., of Brookline, have two stores, finding another location desirable in addition to the old stand. They speak highly of the new hybrid tea rose, Jules Grolez, described as a pink Kaiserin, a valuable addition to our list of summer roses, being superior to Maman Cochet. Mrs. C. E. Mansfield reports business good at Fitchburg, Mass. During eight years of close attention there has been an increasing demand for choice stock, part of which is grown at her own greenhouses. W. M.

David Fraser, Sec'y. 256 The Weekly Florists'" Review* Decbmbbr 18, 1906. NEV ORLEANS. Current Comment, As long as we will be enjoying such a mild winter the demand for flowers will not be large. Our late chrysanthemums and our roses are now at their best. No greenhouse stock, from wherever it may come, can-be compared with our outdoor plants, which now are perfect. At the city park the head gardener, F. Broker, deserves credit for the way he grows pan- sies. It is a general belief among flo- rists here that the first pansies sown in August do not give much satisfaction. Much money is sent north for our first supply. The variety of annuals noV in the park reflects much credit on Mr. Broker. ^ At Audubon park they are contemplat- ing several improvements. Taking advan- tage of a considerable depression existing in. the center, they hope to have a water- way through the park. Although it will take a considerable amount of money, the commissioner is to take under consid- eration the specifications which are now being calculated by Superintendent Jules Fonta. Society Meeting. Joseph Steckler, in the name of the Society of Southern Florists and Orna- mental Horticulturists, called a meeting of the members who assembled December 6, at 125 St. Charles street. It had been decided previously that around the Mardi Gras is the best time for a gen- eral meeting. The railroad fares are reduced at this time and the attractions of the festivities are that much more of an inducement. The convention will last three days, Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday following the Mardi Gras. All the details of the reunion will be dis- cussed and arranged in the best possible manner and the matter was put in the hands of several committees. Chairman Lagerbie, with the help of W. Eichling, vice-president of the soci- ety, and acting in the absence of Presi- dent P. J. Berckmans, appointed the dif- ferent committees, as follows: Commit- tee on exhibits, E. Baker, chairman; P. Chopin, James Newsham, H. Papworth and Paul Abele. Committee on ways and means, Jos, Steckler, chairman; W. Eichling, H. Papworth. Committee on reception, M. M. de Lapouyade, chair- man; J. St. Mard; W. B. Wichers, E. Eichling, H. A. Despommier, H. A. Des- pommier, Jr., J. Menard, Jos. Schindler, F. Ziegler, U. J. Virgin, K. Steckler, M. Cook, Jr., and K. Ory. Committee on badge, R. Batel. There will be an exhibition of flowers and plants and everything points to a big success right at the start. The mem- bership is already in the fifties strong, and no doubt after the first meeting that number will be largely increased. This is not a question of interference with the field of any other established society. "We ^ppeal to all florists of the Union and invite them to come down south with the same spirit as they go north from all parts of the United States. We will do all we can to receive them well. Various Notes. Joseph J. Goudy, representing Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, has been in town for a few days. H. A. Despommier has returned to his old position on the I. C. B. B., taking charge of the station gardens between Canton and Memphis. H. A. Despommier, Jr., is now gar- dener to W. Bluer, the old Hutchinson place, one of the brightest gardens of St. Charles avenue. Emile Valdejo. is again in New Or- leans. M. M. L. BOSTON. The Market The week has given us a succession of cold waves, with some snow and warm spells sandwiched between them. The production of flowers has been niaterially lessened and, on the other hand, the cold has checked buying. Prices have kept up well and about everything has cleared out. Eoses are none too plentiful and prices show a hardening tendency. Better grades of Liberty and Eichmond bring $3 and $4 per dozen. Bride, Maid,' Ch^tenay, Killarney and Welleeley also sell well, making up to $2 a dozen. Carnations sell satisfactorily, whites moving more slowly than colored sorts. Enchantress is of grand quality and is still the most largely grown and popu- lar variety. In whites The Queen is much in evidence. Some splendid White perfection come from one or two grow- ers. Violets keep up to the dollar mark most of the time, and will not drop for a few weeks. Quite a few chrysanthe- mums are still seen, mostly small blooms. A good supply of Paper Whites and Bo- mau hyacinths are coming in. Lilium Harrisii and callas are quite scarce. Some nice mignonettes and bouvardia are coming in. A fair supply of Cattleya TriansB and C. Percivaliana. Green stock is selling well at same prices as in pre- vious weeks. At Brighton. A recent call on William H. Elliott, of Brighton, found everything on that skilful rosarian's place in excellent con- dition. Some splendid long benches of Bride and Bridesmaid were in the pink of perfection for Christmas. The houses of Kaiserin and Carnot were still giv- ing nice flowers, but will now be rested. Another season Carnot may be dropped, as its color is not sufficiently good for a pink rose. Miss Kate Moulton, Tom Field and Maman Cochet were all tried as summer bloomers. The first named did very well and will be grown again next season. A fine lot of Liberty in several spe- cial houses were right for the holidays. These were carrying excellent stems for this variety, but it cannot compare with Eichmond as grown by Mr. Elliott at his Madbury, N. H., establishment, where he has 12,000 of the last named growing. Mr. Elliott considers Liberty a better spring and summer rose, but Eichmond outclasses it the rest of the year and will probably entirely displace Liberty next season. At Madbury, Killarney and Wellesley are grown in quantity,, in addition to Eichmond. Several houses are devoted to Aspara- gus Sprengeri, and of course Asparagus plumosus nanus is still a great specialty here. In spite of the large quantity grown it is difficult to keep up with orders. For fuel a mixture of one-third Georges Creek Cumberland coal and two- thirds Buckwheat hard coal screenings is found economical and satisfactory. Horticultural Society. The directors of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society had a lengthy ses- sion December 8. It was unanimously voted to offer the Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club free use of a hall, light and janitor service, for forty meetings of the landscape gardening class the club has organized. The Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture was invited to hold its annual sessions at Horticultural hall the first week in December, 1907. The following among other commit- tees were appointed for 1907: Plants and flowers, A. H. Fewkes chairman, Eobert Cameron, W. N. Craig, T. D. Hatfield and William Nicholson. Fruits, Wilfrid Wheeler chairman, Charles F. Curtis, J. Willard Hill. Vegetables, Isaac Locke chairman, J. B. Shurtlef^ and Duncan Finlayson. Children's gax- dens, H. S. Adams chairman, W. P. Eich, W. E. C. Eich and C. W. Jenks. Various Notes. Mellor & Saunders, of Lowell, retail florists, failed last week. Quite a few growers were hit by the failure. Peirce Bros, had the misfortune to have a house of pink chrysanthemums frozen during the cold wave, last week, owing to a night fireman falling asleep. Hugh Grant, for some years with the late Denys Zirngiebel and other well- known growers, and lately at Biddeford, Me., is in a Boston hospital suffering from a paralytic shock. A. Boper, of Tewksbury, has some splendid seedling carnations. A varie- gated sort with a strong stem, excellent calyx and immense flower will prove a winner. E. J. Crowley, of Newtonville Green- houses, is on the sick list. We regret to report that Mrs. E. O. Orpet, of South Lancaster, is seriously ill at the Clinton hospital, where she has undergone a critical operation. We hope for her speedy convalescence. F. J. Dolansky, of Lynn, is marketing some fine poinsettias, cyclamens and primulas which meet with a ready sale. H. A. Stevens Co., of Dedham, has several splendid houses of carnations. Their pale pink Lawson sport does well. A seedling of the same color as< En- chantress promises to beat even that fine variety. There wUl again be a big attendance at the last meeting of the year of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club on De- cember 18. In addition to W. H. Wy- man's lecture on "Craft and the Crafts- man" there will be much other business of interest. Welch Bros, are carrying a specially fine stock of holly and other greepery for the holidays. They Jiave very small surpluses of cut flowers at present. A. A. Beed, of Whitman, is cutting a fine lot of seasonable orchids. Mr. Beed is a successful cultivator of these plants. The Seed Trade Bowling League is this season composed of teams from Schlegel & Pettier Co., E. & J. Farquhar & Co., J. Breck & Sons, H. E. Fiske Co., F. W.' Emerson & Co., and Park Street Market. The teams are having a keen tussle for supremacy. On Decem- ber 6 Farquhar & Co. won twcee straight games from the Emerson Co., Schlegel & Fottler Co. after tying the Park Street Market, won the roll off, and then won the next two games. Walter Mott, of Bobbink & Atkins, was one of the visitors last week, making his initial New England trip. W. N. Craig. Please find enclosed $1 for your tip top paper. — Wm. Walker, Louisville, Ky. Decembkr 13. 1006. The Weekly Florists' Review. 257 Charles H. Totty. CHARLES H. TOTTY, Charles H. Totty, who was elected president of the New York Florists' Club December 10, is a resident of Madison, N. J., but is an active partici- pant in all the trade affairs in the metropolis; indeed, Madison is counted as floriculturally a part of New York City, for it is the great rose-growing center for that market. This is a young man's age, and Mr. Totty is only 33 years old, having been born in Shrop- shire, England, in 1873. Although none of his family ever was connected with I our trade, his chief delight, even as a boy, was work in the garden. TTiat early love never has left him and he says that no matter what good for- tune the future may have in store, he expects to end his days as he began them, growing flowers. At the age of 13 years, having ab- sorbed a good part of the education af- forded by the common schools of Shropshire, the lad went to work in the gardens of a Mr. Sheringham, where he stayed three years, in accordance with the recognized apprenticeship system. Then a year in the nurseries of Messrs. Dickson, of Chester, was supposed to provide sufficient horticultural knowledge to launch him as a full-fledged journey- man gardener. After a year at Norris Green, a noted fruit-growing establish- ment near Liverpool, he came to America in 1893. A year and a half was spent on the estate of Mrs. Thomp- son, at Canandaigua, N. Y., after which the young man located at Madison, having found employment on the H. McKay Twombly estate, under the su- perintendency of Arthur Herringtou, to whose precept he owes much for the direction given his thoughts and desires. He stayed here eight years and became as thorough a grower as ever graduated from that school of good gardening. He left to go into business for himself as a wholesale cut flower and plant grower and bought the James Hart greenhouses at Madison, which he since has remodeled, enlarged and made one of the noted places of the town. While Mr. Totty Avas acquiring an all- round knowledge of the business, he spe- cialized on chrysanthemums, and, while from his place now come some of the best roses and other stock reaching the New York market, still it is for his success with chrysanthemums that he is most Avidely known. Almost from the start of his business lie has made a feature of the trial of all new sorts and the dissemi- nation of such novelties as he approved. The sorts sent out number scores. He has handled in America the Wells- Pockett sets of recent years, as well as many good American sorts. For a number of years Mr. Totty has con- tributed Chrysanthemum Notes to the columns of the Kevieav, certainly the most widely read notes on this flower which have appeared in America and probably in any other country, for skilled growers everywhere recognize that they are among the most important contributions in the whole history of the somewhat voluminous literature of the chrysanthemum. ST. LOUIS. The Market We have had a great deal of cloudy weather in the last week and only fair business can be reported. Work for weddings, receptions, dinners and other social occasions was quiet all the week. A fairly good over-the-counter trade is reported by the downtown florists, also a few good funeral orders. Not much of importance will take place until a week before Christmas. The store men are busy making up roping and holly wreaths for Christmas. In looking over the stock that comes in at the wholesale houses we find that roses are in good supply. Fancy stock is generally cleaned up at once, as it is limited. Prices on this stock have come down a little since Thanksgiving. Carnations clean up pretty well each morning, as they are by no means plen- tiful. Lawson is beginning to look bet- ter. Enchantress is fine and so is Nel- son Fisher. White Perfection is the best white and Craig the best red. The latter is scarce. Prices on these are high. California violets are coming in heav- ily, and with cool, clear weather should be abundant for the holidays. Doubles are scarce in this market. Bulbous stock is moving satisfactorily. Eomans are now in good supply, also Paper Whites, with good demand. Lily of the valley dragged last week. Stock is all of good quality. Greens are plentiful, with good demand. Variouf Notes. J. W. Boss, of Centralia, 111., was a visitor last week. Mr. Boss reports good trade and has a fine cut of everything in season from his 22,000 feet of glass. Frank J. Fillmore, for many years in business on Nebraska avenue, has ad- vertised his place for sale. He wants to get a place out in the country and grow for the market. Charles Wors, Jr., is now in the em- ploy of George Angermueller. Mr. Wors, senior, was all smiles last week. He says it's a girl and his seven sons have a sister. E. W. Guy, of Belleville, spent a day in the city last week, visiting growers and buying supplies. Mr. Guy reports business good in Belleville. Charlie Connon has given up his flower stand in the Grand Leader department store. He is now with the Michel Plant and Bulb Co. on Maryland avenue. Charlie Kuehn is having a big run on supplies for the holidays. The wire de- partment is working full force. Gus Eggeling reports a fine trade at both of his places Thanksgiving day and since. J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., reports that he will be unable to attend the local club meeting this week, Thurs- day, as he will attend the meeting of the Bloomington (111.) Florists' Club. Ostertag Bros.' big force was kept busy all of the week with decorative work and large funeral designs. A. Jablonsky, at Wellston, has nearly sold out on blooming plants for Christ- mas. His Gloire de Lorraine begonias are finer than ever this year. His place at Central, in the country, is producing so far this season an extra fine cut of roses and carnations. The Bentzen Commission Co. is in the market with an extra fine quality of holly, mistletoe and other Christmas greens. Philip Gobel, at the head of Keservoir park, reports that the city has started a nursery at the Chain of Rock, stock to be used for the new King's Highway boulevard. W. E. Robinson, the head of both of these city parks, is having a lot of extra work done for next spring. Subscriptions to the big guarantee 258 The Weekly Florists' Review December 13, 1906. fund for the flower show are coming in fast, and bj the first of the year one- half of the $10,000 will be subscribed. Frank Weber, chairman of the commit- tee, will return early next week, and then the committee will take up a per- sonal canvass of those who have failed to respond. To date one-quarter of the fund has been subscribed. The florist bowlers had a fine time at the new DeSoto alleys on last Monday night. Capt. Lohrenz had ten men out and some good scores were made. George Schreifer was high man of the night. Some of the west end florists bowl every Monday night at the Hamilton hotel. J. J. B. PITTSBURG. The Market. A whirl through the retail shops of this city will convince anyone that trade is good all around and that our people are keeping strictly up with the times, which means much. Not many years ago all a cut flower store needed was an ice- box and a counter, but now note the change. Our shops are really art rooms and each one tries to excel the other in artistic blending of color and arrange- ment, and at this season the collection of specimen plants you will find in every store makes it worth a trip around,, not to mention the beautiful pottery, both antique and modern, all arranged with plants to the best of advantage. These, with the Christmas novelties of all kinds, make the stores beautiful and of interest, even to one who sees them every day. There have been many decorations in the last week, requiring large flowers, and the late chrysanthemums have come in most usefully and brought much bet- ter prices than earlier in the season. Many of these decorations have been for debutantes, but this week will clean up all that are on the calendar at present and other affairs will take their places. The wholesale houses were quite busy. Stock of most kinds was scarce and it kept them busy to keep every one in a good humor without giving them exact- ly what they wanted. Saturday night saw most of them cleaned up nicely. Various Notes. The Florists' Club met Tuesday night with a large attendance and some fine exhibits of plants, .such as begonias, primulas, cyclamens, poinsettias, palms and a general assortment of such plants as are desirable for the holidays. Several of those appointed to talk were away, leaving only Charles Crall and W. A. Clarke of those appointed. While they did not say a great deal, they said enough to start the others, so there were some pertinent questions asked and an- swered. It was remarked by several that the club is very much alive and that every meeting gives the members some- thing to think and talk about. While some of the remarks are not compliment- ary, they are made with good intent, and only for the good of the boys. One thing which was forcibly brought to their attention was that there is an open- ing for a man to grow palms, ferns and blooming plants in this vicinity. The next meeting will be a smoker and a good committee has it in charge. They will try to let you know more of it later. Fred Burki and T. P. Langhans have been doing the east most of the last -week, presumably looking up good things for another season. Theo. F. Imback, of Morgantown, W. Va., was in the city a couple of days looking after business. L. L. Lamborn spent a day at Bakers- town, visiting the Pittsburg Rose & Car- nation Co., and one day about Pittsburg. Mr. Lamborn is a large grower from Al- liance, O. E. M. Hall, of Fairmont, W. Va., was also looking up holiday goods last week. Hoo-Hoo. DETROIT. The Market. Business remains about the same. Preparations for Christmas are seen on all sides. Mums are practically gone. Eoses and carnations are scarce. Evi- dently the pickling of the latter has al- ready begun. Valley, Komans, narcissi, etc., are selling readily; in fact, any half-way good flower is soon disposed of at a good figure. There seems to be a scarcity of azaleas for the holidays. Poinsettias are plen- tiful. Qub Meetiog. The weather was anything but favor- able on the Detroit Florists' Club's last meeting night, but the attendance was fair. Eobert Rahaley acted as secre- tary. J. F. Sullivan was laid up with a cold. Leopold Mallest, of Mount Clemens, was elected a member. The names of Frank DeBeul and Mr. Tossey, both employed on Belle Isle park, wete proposed. A discussion on red-spider brought out the opinion that there is no way of killing this pest, the different insecticides being merely preventives if applied in time. A question as to what mums pay best brought out the retailers' view that too many yellow and mid- season varieties are grown. About one- half white, one-fourth pink and one- fourth yellow is about right. In this locality the medium-priced varieties sell best. Wm. Brown ventured the opinion that even though the fancy kinds do not meet with a ready sale, it is essential that some be displayed about the store. John E. Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., sent a vase of Imperial and Pink Im- perial carnations. Pink Imperial is a fine variety. The stem is long and strong, but apparently not as brittle as the Lawson stem. Calyx and shape of flower are fine. Color is a pleasing pink, about Lawson shade. The program called for a display •>!' Christmas novelties, but owing to the dis- agreeable weather only two exhibits were staged. George Backham showed some fine cyclamens and Fred Miesei made a nice display, including fine Jerusalem cherries, primroses, salvias in bloom in pots, and exceptionally fine cyclamens. Eobert Flowerday was to have read an essay on "Christmas Twenty Years Ago and Today" at the next meeting, but it was deemed advisable to put this off until after Christmas. Various Notes. Thos. Magee, of Davis & Magee, To- ledo, O., bought considerable stock in this city for Thanksgiving. Mrs. Allan P. Cox reports a steady increase in business and is well satis- fied. Mrs. Cox only recently embarked in the trade. Thos. Browne, of Greenfield, enter- tained a number of the boys at an an> nual feast and card party the afternoon and evening of December 7. Almost any evening you will find & dainty supper being prepared by one of the young ladies in Taepke 's store. * ' We prefer getting our own meals," says Miss Amanda; and they do it right. A floral department has been opened in Harvey's drug store, at Woodward avenue and High street. The bulk of the stock comes from A. Harvey's green- houses in Orion, Mich. H. S. CINQNNATL The Market Business has not been rushing, still the wholesale houses are selling out close every day. The demand is just about equal to the supply. Eoses are still in heaviest supply, but with the mum out of the market they are selling so much better that there is not the oversupply that we have been having all fall. They are being sold right up to quoted prices. Carnations continue about as last reported. There are none too many of them and they sell out clean every day. Violets are having a good run and more could be sold to good advantage. Singles are especially in demand and bring the highest prices. Few mums are to be seen now, but there is scarcely any call for them. Everyone is busily engaged in making preparations for the holiday rush. That flowers will be scarce at that time goes almost without saying. We are now having dark, cloudy weather, when we ought to be having some bright sun- shine. From the present prospects car- nations will be only in fair supply. Eoses ought to be more plentiful than any other flower, Christmas decorating greens are now on the market in large quantities and the demand for them will be fully up to previous years. There is some report that good holly will be scarce, but I believe that there will be plenty to go around, though the price may average a little higher than in other years. This will be a good thing. Bouquet green will be scarce. Society Meeting. 4 The regular monthly meeting of the Cincinnati Florists' Society was held December 8. After the usual business was transacted the members engaged in a social discussion of many interesting topics. It was decided to open a ques- tion box, and any member who is de- sirous of gaining information on any subject can, by sending the question to either the president or secretary of the society, have the same answered by an expert at the January meeting. If it proves to be successful, the question box will be made a permanent feature of every meeting. The next meeting of the society, which will be held January 12, will be devoted especially to social fea- tures. There will be a smoker and sev- eral speakers of considerable reputation will be present to entertain the mem- bers on various topics. It is intended to make this meeting the banner one of the year, and, with all the good things that will be served up, there ooight to be a big turn-out of the members. C. J. Ohmeb. Sibley, I a. — A. E. Eedshow will erect a greenhouse plant here early in the spring. West Grove, Pa. — The firm of Green & Baylis is a new partnership formed December 1, 1906. They have 15,000 feet of glass and will make chrysanthe- mums a specialty. Dkcember 13, I'JIHJ. The Weekly Florists' Review* 259 A. T. Pyfer. A. T. PYFER. A. T. Pyfer, the present manager of the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., has been with the firm for five years, in the capacity of bookkeeper until the death of James Hartshorne, whose con- fidential man he was, the two working together in harmony in all business trans- actions. Mr. Pyfer was born August 26, 1878, near the city of Freeport, 111. He at- tended the country schools and Mt. Mor- ris College, where he prepared himself for teaching, afterwards taking a busi- ness and shorthand course in the Freeport College of Commerce, graduating in 1899. After filling various clerical positions he engaged with John Bauscher, Jr., the well-known florist at Freeport, 111., re- maining two years. He went to Joliet in 1901 as bookkeeper for the Chicago Car- nation Co., always taking an active interest in the carnation industry, be- coming acquainted with the trade in general and is well qualified for his present position as manager. Mr. Pyfer is a member of the American Carnation Society and also a member of the Ma- sonic fraternity. Cleveland, O. — J. M. Gasser, has re- turned from the sanitorium at Cincin- nati, where he has spent the last month. He will take a trip south before resum- ing business cares. Milwaukee, Wis. — C. C. Pollworth was busy a part of last week looking after his Irish Diggings Lead & Zinc Co. holdings in southwestern Wisconsin. BALTIMORE. The Market. Winter is here. Many of the growers brought their plants to market, only to liave them frozen while standing on the .streets trying to dispose of their stock. Some have provided cases with glass fronts and lamps in the inside, which kept their blooms out of harm's way. Everybody is making preparations for the holidays. The boats and railroads are rushing holly into the commission houses. Many shipments are being made to the west. We are receiving holly from four states. There is quite a demand for any kind of novelty. Paper bells will be used extensively this year in the decorations. The retailers are already making in their windows every indication of a prosperous holiday season. Business last week was as good as was expected, but nothing of consequence was going on. Some prominent funerals took place and everything was used up. Callas are more steady. Roses seem to be enough to supply the demand. Car- nations are doing as well as can be expected. Single violets are bringing 60 cents a hundred. Some chrysanthemums are yet to be had. Horticultural Exhibition. The ninth annual meeting of the Maryland State Horticultural Society was held in the Fifth Regiment Armory December 5 and 6 and was declared to be the most successful meeting yet held. Orlando Harrison, of Berlin, responded to the mayor's welcome. President F. P. Cohill made his annual address. Wm. Duckham, president of the Chrysanthe- mum Society of America, spoke on the chrysanthemum. An interesting talk was given by A. Herrington, also of Madison, N. J. Governor Warfield closed the meeting with a short address, after which a banquet followed at the Eutan house, where the governor was the guest of honor. J. Bolgiano & Sons, H. F. Michell Co, and Griffith & Turner Co. made " large displays of their products. The Franklin Davis Nursery Co. furnished hundreds of trees for the decoration.s. The city parks made a fine show of vari- ous kinds of plants. The first prizes for floral displays were awarded to Stevenson Bros., John Cook, I. H. Moss, G. Morrison, F. C. Baur, Edward Kress, F. C. Banner, H. Weber & Sons, R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons, and E. Herman. Second prizes were awarded to I. H. Moss and John Cook. There was a long list of winners of awards for fruits and vegetables. C. Gregorius showed stevia, a vase of Jeanne Nonin chrysanthemums and three vases of Dr. Enguehard. I. H, Moss had a collection of cedars and various plants and a vase of Golden Gate and Bride roses. Stevenson Bros, had an extra fine dis- play of roses and carnations. F. C. Baur had a vase of splendid mignonette. Edward Kress had a beautiful wreath of Camellia Japonica entwined with large single violets and backed up with maidenhair ferns. G. H. Rhodes, gardener to A. J. Tor- mey, exhibited a vase of his new mum, Mrs. Tormey, and a vase of Robert Craig carnation. C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., had a collection of pompon chrysanthemums. R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons made a large display of their specialties. E. Herman made a fine showing of primroses, peppers and chrysanthemums. John Cook displayed a number of vases of roses and a vase of Enchantress carnation seedlings. George Balderston, Colora, Md., had a neat wreath of sweet alyssum. George Morrison's exhibit consisted of a vase of American Beauty, a vase of Kaiserin roses and a vase of Lawson car- nations, also a collection of begonias and a large number of various kinds of plants, too many to mention. He also had a fine collection of pandanus. Varioui Note*. Edward Kress, East North avenue, claims he is the only florist that lias Camellia Japonica in the state of Mary- land. The new chrysanthemum, Mrs. Tor- mey, made quite a hit at the show last week. G. H. Rhodes is the originator. There seems to be a great demand for Mrs. Emma Hahn's stall in the market. It cannot be bought separately from the other business. T. N. Gray was in town to buy galax leaves. H. Reinhardt, Orangeville, Md., has taken up his father's business. N. C. Davis, Landsdown, Md., is grow- ing a large number of bulbs for Easter. J. L. T. Boone, Ia. — ,T. Loehrer has opened a store in connection with the L. W. Hintz drug store. Mrs. Loehrer will have charge. 260 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Dl>CDMBBB 18, 1906. is printed 'Wednesday evening and mailed early Thursday morning.

Advertisers and correspondents are asked to note that both Christmas and New Year's fall on Tuesday, the busiest day in the oflSce of the Keview. It will be necessary that copy for the issues of December 27 and January 3 be placed in our hands one day earlier than usual. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The market has been erratic since last report. Stormy days have been a factor and shipping demand has some days been heavy, others light, so that on the whole trade has hardly been satisfactory; but it is never brisk in the first weeks of December. Monday saw a good shipping demand and nearly every one hustling for the right kind of stock for out-of- town orders, while there was at the same time a considerable quantity of material not shipable which was not in request and brought low prices if sold at all. It is to be expected that this week will see only light supplies, for all the grow- ers will be doing what they safely may toward providing a supply for Christ- mas. They will not cut anything from now on which is not needed in the mar- ket. If there is any one thing now in short supply it is Beauties. The demand for this leading item continues strong, and receipts are promptly cleaned up. Qual- ity is excellent with every one. Other roses are abundant and cooler weather haf^ improved the quality. There are Kil- larney, Richmond and Chatenay of super- lative excellence. Many orders are of- fered for these specialties for Christmas. Carnations are equal to requirements and with practically all the growers the quality is all that could be asked. About the only exception to this is Lawson with some growers, for many are seen which have not yet attained a greater length than six inches of stem. On the other hand, with other growers Lawson continues to hold its old-time quality. Enchantress is superb. It is the one carnation with which no grower makes a failure. But Enchantress is so abundant this season that only the best of this variety make the extra price which has been asked for it in previous seasons. White sorts are sought because a large part of the demand is for funeral work. Harrisii and callas also are in active de- mand for the same reason, and it has in the past week been difficult to find them for late orders. Most of the Harrisii in the market are short in stem. There have been only moderate re- ceipts of violets, but the supply has been more than enough to go around, and, if violets have made lower averages in other markets, Ehinebeck growers are entitled to question the universal prosperity of which we hear so much. While the best violets have sold for $1.25, others have gone as low as 40 cents per hundred. The fragrant singl^ have sold well. Last week returns were rather better than those of this week because the charity bazaar at the Coliseum created a special demand for violets. Quite a number of good chrysanthe- mums now are available. It appears that the supply of late sorts will be quite heavy. Prices realized have been only fair. Mignonette is in and when of first-class quality sella well. Large quan- tities of stevia are used, but the supply of Paper Whites and Bomans is far ahead of the demand. Among the specialties orchids are in short supply. A few good sweet peas are seen and sell at sight. Bouvardia sells well. A few pansies have been re- ceived and are quickly taken. Green Goods. Although bouquet green is scarce, some of it is of splendid quality. The E. F. Winterson Co. has had stock that readily sold at 15 cents per pound ih small lots. Perhaps because of the scarcity of bou- quet green, boxwood has been selling at a surprising rate. A quiet market for this was looked for because all the houses were heavily stocked a few weeks ago, but in the last week many have been cleaned out. Holly is in good supply and fine. There is considerable alarm at the fern situation. Those in storage are reported not keeping well and the quality of the regular shipments coming from Massa- chusetts is not satisfactory. Smilax and asparagus are abundant. Some splendid adiantum is being re- ceived. Christmas Prospects. The retailers are all counting on the largest Christmas trade they ever have done, and their enthusiasm is reflected in the confidence of the wholesalers re- garding the large volume of business to be handled. The general anticipation is that supplies will be large, but of course much will depend on the character of the weather in the next ten days. We have had so much cloudy weather that we certainly are due for some sunny days, but if we do not get them we still shall have good quantities of stuff, for most growers report heavy crops just com- ing on. Once again it is in order to caution growers against holding back their stock. It many times has happened that the market has been strong for a week be- fore the holiday and taken a pronounced slump the morning after the ship|)ing orders were dispatched. The bulk of the shipments this year go out on Sunday. Growers also should not forget that Christmas is a holiday at which most flowers are used for gifts and no one is willing to use for this purpose anything but fresh stock. Pickled goods are abso- lutely withtout value. Christmas Shipments. Christmas shipments from Chicago will , be made under difficult circumstances, as the bulk of the shipments must go out on Sunday. The trouble lies in the fact that incoming trains are not nearly so numerous on the Sabbath as on week days. The through trains go out as usual, but the locals do not run Sun- day. Then, too, the express companies make no pick-ups after noon on Sunday. An effort is being made to get special wagons for the wholesale cut flower dis- trict all day Sunday, December 23 ; other- wise the wholesalers will have to make deliveries to the depots by hired convey- ances. Growers should bear in mind that ship- ments must get to Chicago Sunday morn- ing and buyers will help by getting their orders in as early as possible. Another Rose-Pink Enchantress. Fortune has indeed been unkind to the carnation grower whom it has not fa- vored with a sport of Enchantress. There are sports of almost every color, but the Dbcbmbbb 13, 1906.

Skidelsky, originat- ing with B. Schroeter, of Detroit. E. Blameuser, at Niles Center, has a Rose- pink Enchantress of which he has worked up a large stock and which has met with much favor as a cut flower, the blooms being handled by Holton & Hunkel at Milwaukee. He is busy propagating and will have considerable stock for spring. Gjatsworth on Cuttings. ' ' All the rose cuttings we shall take this year, ' ' said L. Coatsworth, ' ' will be enough to replant the greenhouses of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co., New Castle, Ind., U. S. A. With a rose market such as we have enjoyed this fall and have in prospect as long as our stock holds its present quality we shall leave the cutting business to others. Of course we must propagate beyonds our needs for a mar- gin of safety, but last year we cut off two crops of Killarney to get wood for cuttings. We haven 't seen a day this fall when the flowers were not worth more than the cuttings. It is more or less so with other varieties. ' ' There will be a big call for young stock of Killarney next spring. The suc- cess the Benthey-Coatsworth Co. and others are having with it will greatly stimulate the demand. Various Note*. O. J. Friedman has sued the New thea- ter, recently organized to elevate the stage, for $418 for the decorations with which he helped them do it. John Weiland, at Evanston, had a narrow escape from a disastrous fire at two 0 'clock in the morning one day last week. The sheds were destroyed and the palm house damaged so that there was some loss on stock. He figures a thousand-dollar bill would not more than set him even. Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Bassett have booked passage on the White Star steam- er leaving New York February 5 for a tour of Egypt and the Nile. They antici- pate being in Europe four or five months. Kennicott Bros. Co. reports that one of its growers will, have his entire crop of Jeanne Nonin chrysanthemums in for Christmas. It is stated that one of the reasons for tlie increased supply of chrysanthemums this year Avas that many lettuce growers, finding the first crop of lettuce not espe- cially profitable, this year planted their houses to chrysanthemums and are only now starting their lettuce. It is reported that W. L. Palinsky's azaleas were not shipped according to his forwarding instructions and met a delay which resulted in the complete loss of the stock. He refused to accept it from the carrier. When Mrs. C. W. Reimers, of Louis- ville, was in town last week, she made arrangements with E. H. Hunt to handle her poinsettias this season. Vaughan & Sperry have had a quantity of California pepper berries. They have sold well, although many of the retail- ers do not seem to be familiar with this very useful berried green. It will be better known in a week. All the retailers are making prepara- tions to handle the increased Christmas business. Delivery is a great problem with many, but with others lack of sell- ing space is troublesome. A. Lange has secured a room on the second floor of the Heyworth building for his plant dis- play and salesroom. J. P. Risch has been having a serious time with an ulcerated tooth, which nut him out of the running for several days. His father also was in bed all last week with a severe cold. H. Woods Co., on South Water street, is doing a large business on greens with the florists. They will have a refrig- erator car of California pepper berries in this weelj. C. L. Washburn says that never in his experience has the glut of chrysanthe- mums had so little effect on the demand for and prices of Beauties as during the season just closed. F. R. Falkenstein, Naperville, 111., is sending E. C. Amling some especially good Golden Chadwick. The form and color of the flower as he grows it are especially good. There is a difference of opinion as to what Christmas will bring forth in sup- plies of poinsettias. Some houses say they will be scarce, others that large supplies will be available and prices likely to rule lower than usual. \ There was a meeting of the executive committee of the Horticultural Society at P. J. Hauswirth's last Friday after- noon to close up 1906 flower show affairs. The financial outcome was much nq^re satisfactory than was at first thought likely in view of the falling off in at- tendance— and everyone is happy.

W. McKellar reports quite a call for gardenias, but great diflSculty in fill- ing orders. Cattleyas also are scarce. At Peter Eeinberg's they report a fine sale for the Mrs. Marshall Field rose. Mrs. Field herself often orders them of the leading retailers. N. J. Wietor says that Wietor Bros, have not felt the slack demand of which there is more or less general complaint. He says that they have had rather heav- ier and steadier cuts than usual all through the autumn, and that if Decem- ber is proportionately as good as Novem- ber, he will be more than satisfied. Theo. Hauschke reports good business for Thanksgiving and predicts a record Christmas trade for all the retailers on the northwest side. Sam Pearce is sending some fine poin- settias to Zech & Mann. He has not heretofore grown them in quantity. George Eeinberg has another big lot of poinsettias for Christmas. Last year they were fine and brought such good prices that more were grown this year. George Weinhoeber is at home from Boston, where he has been studying land- scaping with Olmsted Bros. He purposes setting up for himself in the same line here in the west. The A. L. Randall Co. says that for Christmas violets will in all probability be, as at Thanksgiving, not in so heavy supply as last year, but still enough to take care of all orders. Sinner Bros, have made good money on their Harrisii and callas in the last fortnight. At J. A. Budlong's, Phil Sehupp says that as an all-round white carnation Bos- ton Market is not beaten. It is a fine flower, good bloomer and splendid ship- per. According to the Aurora Beacon, Col.

Engledew is in the office of Bliss, Fabyan & Co. The Foley Mfg. Co. finds, as is inevita- bly the case, that work on its new fac- tory is progressing slower than was ex- pected. They now say they will not be fully settled there before March 1, but still in time for the busy season. Poehlmann Bros. Co. had tulips as early as December 8, so far as records go, the first of any in the country. They expect to have quite a few in good shape for Christmas. Club meeting tonight. Visitors.

Trade last week was below the aver- age. The new week opened with the worst sleet storm the florists can remem- ber. Trains were delayed and business suffered. Louis Kuebler, a brother of W. H. Kuebler, the wholesale florist of Brooklyn, was quite seriously injured by falling on the icy street. Doubtless this condition in the cut flower trade will remain throughout the week, as has al- ways been the case in the weeks precea- ing the holidays. In the meantime great preparations are being expectantly made by every one for a tremendous Christ- mas business. Beauties are firm at $60 per hundred for the best. Selected Brides and Maids bring $10 per hundred. In occasional sales a higher figure is sometimes pos- sible, but these rates will cover the gen- eral average. Carnations grow better daily. Orchids are scarce. Violets are abundant, 75 cents per hundred was top on Monday. There will be enough and to spare for Christmas. Any great advance in value is impossible. There are plenty of hya- cinths and narcissi. Gardenias and val-' ley are in demand but short in supply. Holly, wreathing, wild smilax, all the holiday goods, including Christmas trees, are abundant. The blooming plant supply is perfect and all the grow- ers are stocked bountifully. Qub Meeting. Notwithstanding the rain, over 100 members attended the club meeting Monday evening.

Totty, Scott and Manda, announced their de- cisions as to the fine exhibits of the evening, as follows : From A. Demeusy, of Flatbush, vase of a crimson carnation seedling scoring 85 points and awarded a certificate. From Dailledouze Bros., Carnation Welcome, pink, a sport of Lawson, scored 89 points and awarded a certifi- cate.

The president appointed Messrs. Traendly, Wheeler and Stewart lo draw up resolutions on the death of the wife of E. V. Hallock, of Queens, L. I. Mrs. Hallock died suddenly on Saturday and funeral services were held on Monday. Various Notes. David Clarke's Sons are ready for Christmas, if their well stocked big store is any indication. The only anxiety seems to be the need of room. Novel- ties in miniature mantel decorations at- tract much attention. Hundreds of bas- kets filled with flowering and foliage plants will be the specialty here tMs season. Thorley and Fleischman now have a quartette of retail stores, straws which show which way the wind of progress and opportunity is blowing in this fsist^ growing metropolis, and yet there is room. Charles Millang has three centers of trade this season, in all of which busi- ness has been booming. At his new premises on Twenty-eighth street, near Fifth avenue, he contemplates a plant market in the spring. B. S. Slinn, Jr., has some grand ship- ments of violets daily that compare fa- vorably with anything coming down the river. McManus has made elaborate prepa- rations for the Christmas orchid de- mand. He reports the long distance telephone warm with inquiries and ad- vance orders, the scarcity of the supply making early engagements a wise pre- caution. As the years roll J. K. Allen's busi- ness grows. "Every morning at six" the bird of good omen sings his spng of hope. Most roosters of 20 years are tough, but this is an exception to the rule. Perkins & Schumann are delighted with the new store and the first Christ- mas there promises to be an inspiration. The union of young blood and the vet- eran of 1872 cannot but win a share of the constantly growing prosperity of the wholesale business. Ford Bros, report a year double any other in their history. So much for the big store and its conveniences and un- sullied reputation. It 's a good sign when growers never change their representa- tives. James Hart has a big store and is adding holly and other Christmas ever- greens to his cut flower department. He has done a large business in hotel winter decoration this fall and is as am- bitious as he was in 1871, when he was the pioneer. Thirty-five years is a long pull in the wholesale flower business. William Starke has made a ^e repu-- tation for himself as a plantsman and is fast building up a business that is per- manent and creditable. His trade in evergreens, boxwood, palms and ferns the last three months has been phenom- enal. A. Warendorff's windows never looked more attractive thaji now, though they are never commonplace and always dem- onstrate artistic taste and skill. ^loore, Hentz & Nash keep things Decsmbbb 13, 1906.

The tropical effect at the great store of Alexander McConnell in the Arcade on Fifth avenue is intensified by the height of the ceilings. The move to this splendid center was most wise and busi- ness has increased beyond all anticipa- tion. A. Herrmann reports a tremendous Christmas trade, a shortage in moss wreaths and immortelles and the usual yearly growth. The National Florists ' Board of Trade reports many accessions to membership in the last few weeks. H. E. Froment has maintained and en- larged the big business of his prede- cessor and is increasing his total daily output to record figures as the products of his extensive growers increase. His receipts of Beauties from the new houses of his patrons are now enormous. The old force of lieutenants remains. John Seligman & Co. have built up a fine trade during 1906. Their big store IS excellently located. These young men are both popular and the coming year will mark still greater progress. A. M. Henshaw says the square deal is bearing fruit. His present quarters are limited when the bulk and growth of his trade are considered. George Cotsonas & Co. now occupy the whole store at 50 West Twenty- eighth street. It is none too large for the immense trade in ferns, galax and wreathing which they are doing for the holidays. Day and night an increased force is at work on orders. A. L. Young & Co. have abundant room and conveniences now that the ad- dition to their fine store at 54 West Twenty-eighth street is completed. Bussin & Hanfling have their building full of baskets and useful novelties for Christmas. They manufacture many specialties in supply goods, sheaves, etc., and will take their place with the other successful supply houses of the country. A. J. Guttman is enthusiastic over his latest carnation acquisitions. Imperial and Pink Imperial. They attracted much attention at the club meeting. Victory maintains its splendid reputation. Myer, the retail florist of Madison avenue, has just added a fine wagon to his other acquisitions. Young & Nugent maintain their finely decorated window. Mr. Nugent has the same skill in artistic floral effect that he has in managing concoctions for the inner man, a skill that has been no small factor in the club's progress the last three years. Leikens wears his perpetual smile these days, his branch at the Belmont and his attractive store near the Wal- dorf giving him ample cause for self congratulation. Traendly & Schenck seem to think three floors too little for their coming holiday exhibitions. Perhaps another year will make the use of the whole building a necessity. Thomas Young's new wholesale store at 42 West Twenty-eighth street is now completed and most convenient. Bonnot Bros, are shipping more and more to out-of-town sections and are handling more fline roses as the days grow shorter. The author of "How to Grow Vio- lets" has left his impress on Dutchess county and made for himself an imper- ishable monument in the glass houses de- voted to the raising of the popular little fragrant flower. John Young will have his own Beau- ties from "the largest house" and the entire output of the Cottage Gardens carnation factory for Christmas. Gunther Bros, still hold the fort on Twenty-ninth street, where they have grown and flourished since 1888. They expect a larger holiday trade than usual. Frank Millang manages to be on deck now daily^ though still on crutches and nursing his broken ankle. Inactivity is so unusual with Mr. Millang he is hav- ing the ordeal of his life, but he will be himself again by Christmas. The Cut Flower Exchange is a busy place these days. Joseph Fenrich, with Totty's muma and roses and Schultheis' valley, among other good things, says business has grown most encouragingly during the year he has been in his new store on Twenty-eighth street. Lecakes & Co. have a big force at work and many thousands of yards of roping ready for advance orders. Jno. J. Foley is the same eflScient manager as ever. The Geller Company's new store is fast assuming ship-shape and is already crowded with Christmas novelties. Its display conveniences are excellent. The Kervan Company is receiving big shipments of wild smilax, holly and Christmas greens of all kinds from the south and report a good advance in the volume of their business for the year now closing. A new store has been opened by E. A. Beth at One Hundred and Thirteenth 266 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Dbcember 13, 1906. POINSETTIAS Long stem, Good Flowers $25.00 to $40.00 per 100 Our Stock of Cut Flowers and Greens 4 For Christmas will be complete in every respect. The quality promises to be fine, the supply in some lines a trifle short. Poinsettias, the ideal Christmas flower, is a leader with us this year-. You can't beat ours for quality. Here are a few of the big sellers that you will want — we will have them in quantity : BEAUTIES LIBERTIES RICHMOND Pancy BRIDES and MAIDS ^:^: VIOLETS The Leo Niessen Co« WHOLESALE FLORISTS 1217 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

It is finely fitted in gold and white enamel, with an abundance of mirrors and a superb stock of plants of every variety. Mr. Reth was for thirty- seven years with Bridgeman, the seeds- man, and sold his interests to the Rick- ards Bros, a few months ago. His old friends will be pleased to know of his new venture and he has the best wishes for success. For rapid development of the seed business and steady establishment of suc- cess, the Rickards Bros, take the palm. In four short months they have demon- strated their ability far beyond their ex- pectations. Personal popularity, hust- ling, public confidence and perpetual good nature are the foundations of their progress. Large purchases have been made in Europe for the spring trade. Next summer one of the brothers will visit the old country. No more en- thusiastic salesmen exist. Good will of a host of friends in the trade is shown. Practically years of canvassing make their visits welcome. Unique adver- tising has been a feature of their prog- ress. Their "mule barometer" is the latest reminder. Everybody uses it as a sure weather guide. They send one to all enquirers. The Bridgeman name will be perpetuated another century. Ernest Sampson, formerly with the Hodgson Co., of Fifth avenue, is now associated with C. W. Eberman in the wholesale plant business at 53 West Thirtieth street. A cut flower depart- ment will be added to the enterprise after the holidays. Mr. Eberman is greatly elated with his success and has his store well stocked with every variety of plant. He will have an extensive Christmas display. The Limprecht Supply Co. will have the decoration of the big Fifth avenue cathedral for Christmas, as usual. Seven decorations in the last week is the com- pany's record. The store has been thor- oughly repaired since the fire, and the son of Max Limprecht is maintaining the excellent record made by his father and proving himself to be an efficient manager. At 10 West Twenty-ninth street, close to Broadway, William Donohoe has opened a branch store for the holidays. The location is excellent and only a few doors from his headquarters. Mr. Dono- hoe is preparing for his biggest Christ- mas and has enjoyed a most successful year, his trade growing constantly in volume and quality. Brooklyn. Harry Crawbuck, of Brooklyn, handles great quantities of wild smilax for Cald- well, and all other Christmas goods, and says Brooklynites have no reason to cross the bridge for anything in his line. Bonnet & Blake now receive the entire stock grown by John N. May, of Sum- mit,/N. J., and many other noted Jersey and Long Island growers. Mr. Bonnet is still on the sick list and has had many weeks of suffering, but hopes to be re- covered for the holiday trade. The new store is just what was needed for their growing business. Truman Flagler, at 926 Fulton street, reports a rapidly increasing trade and brilliant prospects for a great Christmas in his fine family section. Robert G. Wilson has now two estab- lishments in Brooklyn, the Shannon greenhouses on Greene avenue proving a great convenience. The growth of Mr. Wilson 's business has been wonderful. William H. Kuebler thinks before an- other year his growth will make a larger store a necessity. The year closing finds great progress made. Hicks & Crawbuck have about every- thing in florists' supplies any Brook- lynite can need and number many grow- ers of suberb roses on their books. There are few larger or more convenient stores than 76 Court street, Brooklyn, in the wholesaie business. J. Austin Shaw. PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. Business conditions are a trifle less buoyant than a week ago. Flowers are still scarce, and prices advancing on some varieties, but the lull which pre- cedes a' holiday rush is evident in the de- mand. Carnations continue the scarcest item on the flower list. Fancies are readily sold at fine prices, while even ordinary stock commands figures that seem high. Violets are fairly plentiful, while the demand has falle^^ off to such an extent that prices are fully fifty per cent less than one week ago. Roses are advancing in price. The quality of the higher grades is fully up to midwinter form. On this stock, too, the demand is slightly less than a week ago, the smaller red roses being especially affected. Chrysanthemums are nearly over, the fancies being represented by Jeanne Nonin and Dorothy Faust, both white, while the select stock is chiefly Mrs. Decbmbbb 13, 1906.

In- quiry as to whether chrysanthemums will last until Christmas elicited the response that they will unless they can be sold sooner, which fairly sums up the case. Poinaettias have made their apjtoar- ance; the stock is unusually fine and I)lentiful. A feature of the market has !)eon the extraordinary scarcity of lilies of the valley, due, it was stated by the S. S, Pennock-Meehan Co., to an unex- pected falling off in the supply, which will be overcome in a few days. While tliis scarcity lasted, ordinary stock was eagerly taken by buyers who generally demand the best. Cattleyas, cypripediums, dendrobiums and mixed orchids are in good supply and sell readily. Gardenias are extra- ordinarily scarce, the supply being al- most nil, although we are promised heav- ier shipments shortly. Mignonette is an- other scarce commodity. It is said to be late, and it is understood that it has not always been profitable to the grow- ers in past seasons. The present prices ought to satisfy anyone who knows how to handle it. Komans are in good de- mand, but Paper Whites sell slowly, al- though fine. There has been an im- provement in the demand for adiantum fronds. Asparagus plumosus is selling better than A. Sprengeri. Christmas Prospects. Indications for the holidays point to an unusually fine stock of American Beauties, Bride and Bridemaid roses, at prices that good judges believe will be .ibout the same as those of last sea- son. There will be more red roses than last season, Liberty being reinforced by additional plantings of Richmond. It is probable, however, that the demand will consume the entire stock at fair prices, as there have never been enough red roses during the holidays. Poinsettia, the Christmas flower, though perhaps it is more accurate to say bract, promises to give ample opportunity for Christmas decorations, for it will be more plenti- ful and better than ever before. Violets promise to be plentiful if the weather gives them only half a chance, and in- dications point to. moderate prices on these dainty flowers. The prospects or heavy gardenia crops, so bright in No- 268 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Decembku 13, 1906.

Orchids will be as plenti- ful, or more so, than ever before, but it is unlikely that the supply will equal the demand. Of carnations it is difficult to write with certainty. It seems, how- ever, safe to say that while the quality will average high, the quantity will be far below that of last season. Even the growers who have not been troubled with stem-rot are shipping fewer flowers to town than the size of their places would seem to warrant. Summing up the whole situation, the supply of flowers should be all that could be desired, barring only carna- tions, to suit the most fastidious de- mands. The wholesalers have been mak- ing extraordinary preparations for the distribution of holly, mistletoe, laurel and other greens. All are reported in fine condition. Various Notes. The Leo Niessen Co. will be strong on American Beauty roses; also on Brides and Bridesmaids. Their stock of poinsettias will be a feature.

Burning sulphur in an inclosure containing living plants is certain death to all plants contained in the area. The distillation of sulphur by keeping it in a molten condition over a sand bath is perfectly harmless to the plants, but is destructive to parasitic fungi like lettuce mildew and cucumber mildew.

W. S. Cboydon. CLEVELAND. The Market. The market in cut flowers for Thanks- giving was remarkably better this year than in preceding years. Boses are in more demand now and stock looks fairly well for this time of the year. With most of the growers carnations stUl remain a little short in stem and rather scarce. Various Notes. Mr. Blechschmid, of Miles avenue, has his carnations in fine order. He disposes of all his stock at wholesale. G. M. Naumann had a nifce lot of chrys- anthemums. He also has a house of Be- gonia Gloire de Lorraine that is unex- celled in Cleveland. His place is well kept. A visit to S. N. Pentecost's place re- vealed everything in the best of order. He has a big batch of poinsettias that are looking fine. Visitor : A. F. Longren, of the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, HI. N. Decbmbbb 13, 190G. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 279 MR.

Fortunately, for the reputation of the trade, there are those who use all means possble to en- sure the eradication of plants of an un- true type from their seed crops. Our methods of selection are no secret. Any fii-m can apply them if they care to go to the trouble apd expense, which, we may say, is no inconsiderable item. "We have stock seed of swede which cost us nearly $25 per pound, when all expenses are considered, and other things of an equally costly nature." THE FIGHT IS ON. The Washington representative of the Wholesale Seedmen's League sent out a call for the gathering of the clans at the national capital yesterday, Wednes- day, December 12, and arranged for the seed trade to appear before the house committee on agriculture to make formal protest against the government seed dis- tribution. Last year the committee omit- ted the paragraph providing funds for this work, and it was inserted on the floor of the house by a vote of 153 to 83, after a debate which ran nearly a week. One of the strongest objections made to the omission of the item was that the committee had acted without any one appearing before it to object to the distribution. This was explained by the fact that although the seed dealers had objected to the distribution for many years, they had no intimation that the committee would take action on the sub- ject, and therefore did not appear before HIGH-GRADE VALLEY EARLY GIANT FORCINQ The finest Valley on the market.

When the point was raised it was, of course, too late to make representa- tions to the house committee, but a large delegation appeared before the senate committee, and as a result of that hearing it reported that a distinct majority was opposed to the plan of free seed distribution and hoped at this ses- sion to be able to make a satisfactory change. In order that those opposed to free seeds shall have an opportunity to present their case to the house commit- tee on agriculture,- that committee granted them a hearing on December 12, at which the entire matter was very carefully gone into. A large and representative delegation was on hand to lend the weight of its presence to the arguments of the gentle- men who addressed the committee. The arguments had been carefully correlated, so that effective work was done. Washington, D. C, Dec. 12, — The anti-free-seed hearing before the house committee on agriculture today was at- tended by Henry W. Wood, Bichmond, Va., president of the American Seed Trade Association; W. Atlee Burpee, William Henry Maule and Walter P. Stokes, of Philadelphia; Alexander Forbes and Patrick O'Mara, of Peter Henderson & Co., New York; Henry B. Hathaway, Rochester; C. F.

Some English market growers describe it as the finest market aster yet introduced and some good sales are reported. It is probable an advance in price on this variety is close at hand. Fortunately it is a sort that harvests seed in several districts and I have lately had brought to my notice equally good samples of seed from four European countries. Sweet peas are not in many districts producing a good crop, but this will not matter much; rather the reverse, as the acreage grown was too large for the de- mand and had there been a heavy crop a disastrous glut would have been in- evitable. Not that the popularity of sweet peas has decreased; on the other hand, the demand steadily increases, and especially does this apply to the newer and standard exhibition sorts; but it was very certain the supply as far as acre- age goes increased very much quicker than the demand. Something has gone wrong with the palm seed trade. A big drop in price has occurred and some low quotations are to hand, even. as low as 8 shillings per 1,000 for guaranteed new seed of kentias, and an antipodean firm is offering even as low as 4 shillings per 1,000. 286 The Weekly Florists' Review* December 13, 1906. The growth of hardy perennial, bien- nial and annual flower seeds is consid- erably on the increase in the eastern counties of England and on the occasion of my recent visit to some of the Essex seed farms I was shown some exception- ally fine samples of such things as candy- tuft, wallflower, etc., and some good sam- ples of the herbaceous perennial class. The grower informed me that they are able to get a somewhat better sample and of stronger growth than from some of the continental seed-growing districts and a growing export trade to various European countries was being done. Sweet peas and nasturtiums are a big feature in Essex, being grown by the many acres, and some of the finest qual- ities of seed are oi)tained. B. J, OPERATIONS OF TH^ CANNERS. The U, S. census of manufactures for 1905 makes the following totals of the operations of the canning industry: Tomatoes 9,301,264 $13,885,169 Corn 11,209,397 15,952.066 Peas 4,694,492 7,928,791 Beans 2,517,549 3,972,332 Other vegetables 1,650,588 3,523,790 Totals 29,373,290 $45,262,148 It would appear that the increased attention paid to the canners by many seed houses is fully justified, for the value of the vegetables canned has on the face of these returns nearly doubled in the last five years.

Brown, Los Angeles, Cal., has sold his interest in the nursery business to M. L. Helsel and will start east in a few days to spend the winter. ROSE GROWING IN OREGON. Horticulture in Oregon is a vastly dif- ferent proposition from the same voca- tion in the east. Climatic conditions are entirely at variance and the country is new, so that demand is just beginning to be felt in full force. Portland is known as the rose city of Oregon, but rose cul- ture there is in the open, not under glass. The accompanying illustration shows a typical establishment, that of G. Inder- muhle, located only two miles from the business center of the city. The head- quarters building is a decidedly unpre- tentious affair viewed through eastern eyes, but it suffices for the conduct of a prosperous and constantly increasing business. The outdoor view shows the nursery stock, two acres being given to roses. In the foreground are the bush plants in a large number of varieties and in the background the climbing roses, and beyond that other lines of decorative stock. The soil and climate are particu- larly adapted to roses and in the five years since he began to clear this land Mr. Indermuhle has been making steady progress. SAN FRANC3SOO. is in good shape, and there is but little scarcity in either roses or carnations. The prices obtained, however, have had a decided upward tendency, especially for fancy stock. They are fully 50 per cent "higher than those of two weeks ago, and I do not anticipate that they will get any cheaper for some time. Good adiantum and smilax are not so plentiful, and great quantities of wild ferns and other kinds of greens are being used instead. Valley, which has only been ih light supply this season, is becoming much more in evidence, as some of our largest growers are com- mencing to cut heavily. Inside mums are almost out of season. A few good Mrs. Jerome Jones and Bonnaffons are being brought into town by the Japanese growers, but they are in short supply. The indications for holiday trade are good. There is much inquiry from pros- pective buyers, and all the dealers an- ticipate a heavy rush in a couple of weeks. Various Notes. The retailers are making considerable complaint that the growers have been shipping too many flowers to out-of- town customers, so that they have not been able to get sufficient stock to fill orders. The growers maintain that they have been forced to dispose of a ma- jority of their stock in the country all summer and autumn and they will here- after turn quite as much attention to interior dealers as to the florists in the city. One of the largest growers in California, situated within a few miles of San Francisco, has not sold a blossom in this town since the fire, whereas, be- fore that eventful time, he did no ship- ping whatever. The fact of the matter is that the growers did not realize what a big field there was until a demand was created in our nearby towns, and this accounts for the attention shipping orders now receive. The Holland Nursery Co., of Elm- hur&t, is in with a heavy crop of valley. This firm makes a specialty of this arti- cle and has success invariably with it. The coming fiesta in Oakland has had the effect of a great many orders for garlands and other decorations being placed with the florists. Domoto Bros, are receiving large con- signments of Japanese stock on every steamer. They report trade in that line good. James Skinner is offering to the trade a lot of mammoth kentia palms just received from Belgium. They arrived in splendid condition. Charles Carpenter has left on a week's duck hunting. G. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Trade has been running at a good brisk gait and everybody is wearing a satisfied smile. Another cause for grati- fication is the excellent quality of every- thing coming into the market. This last remark we intend as a bouquet for the growers, who certainly are making great advance in their respective lines. There are none too many carnations an<- vio- lets, the last named tempting more cus- tomers than any other flower. The rose supply is ample and the color grand. It has been said that good roses could not TheMarka. We have had a touch of colder weather for the last week and flowers are in shorter supply in consequence. Business has been good since Thanksgiving and the prospects are favorable for its con- tinuance. We are badly in need of rain, and until it arrives there will be little in the line of outside stock. Violets are even scarcer this week than they were last, and there is nothing that will make them plentiful unless it is a good downpour. Bulbous stock is likewise scarce, and for the same reason. Out- side chrysanthemums are getting poorer in quality and beginning to show the results of the continued cold weather. Inside stock with most of the growers Rose Farm of G.

Chrysanthemums have held the lofty position to which they are entitled and their value in dollars has not dimin- ished. The fine blooms of Timothy Eaton and Col. Appleton seen at Clarke Bros.' store were unanimously given the blue ribbon by all the florists. This firm were fortunate in having a big supply of these for Thanksgiving trade, which was the best on record. Perfect weather and the great annual football event created a demand that cleaned us out at four o'clock, when we were ready to go home and do justice to the turkey. On Friday, November 30, the Evening Telegram pub- lished a vivid account of the enormous business done and cartooned us as on our way to the bank with the proceeds. Various Notes. Two weeks ago we were given a sur- prise by the information that the long established firm of Martin & Forbes had dissolved partnership by mutual consent, Mr. Forbes retiring. By close applica- tion and industry these young men have built up a profitable business, and Mr. Forbes' name may now be listed among those of the .Portland capitalists. After a few weeks ' rest in California he will return either to open a bank or finance one of our new railroads! We had the pleasure last week of meet- ing Mr. Phillips, of the Phillips Floral Co., of Walla Walla, Wash., who was here calling on the craft and incidentally mak- ing arrangements for the publication of his latest book of poems. Mr. Phillips is optimistic in regard to trade in his locality and is preparing to add 20,000 feet more glass to his range.

The ironbark and red gums have been used for years in Australia, both for telegraph poles and railroad ties, so that there was no risk whatever in using the wood for that purpose.

Will you tell me whether there are any white poinsettias grown in Califor- nia, and are all euphorbias poinsettias? timber, no one who has followed the gradual upward climb of the raw ma- terial can doubt. Lumber at the present time is forty per cent higher than it was two years ago. By this I mean ordinary redwood and pine. The former is the material used here for railroad work. The Santa Fe railroad has wisely noted all of these facts, and the next proposition to face was to find a suitable location where the propagation could be carried on advantageously. There are plenty of places along the coast, in fact there are but few locations that either of the varieties of eucalyptus mentioned will not succeed. They want primarily the coast breezes and a fairly well shel- tered situation. In the hot interior val- leys they do not succeed so well. Pro- vision must be made for their care for one year in flats, and after that for another season in the ground, before they can be said to be able to look out for themselves. They can be grown up to 1,000 trees to the acre with plenty of room to get between them, and the tim- ber cut will be all the better in conse- quence. Kegarding the cracking of either the E. crebra and E. rostrata, there is little trouble with medium sized growths, es- pecially if they are allowed to dry in the forest before they are hauled out in the sun. This is the modus operandi used where particular results are wanted, but there seems to be but little trouble on that score. The length of time that these varie- ties will last under ground depends, as it does in the redwood, upon the condi- L. V. d. L. The only variety of euphorbia called poinsettia is the well-known Euphorbia cherrima, a native of Mexico, hardy in southern California and the most valu- able member of the family of Euphor- biaceae. None of the poinsettias are white, but other members of this ex- tensive genus are white flowered and of considerable value medicinally and to the plantsman. The various kinds of spurge, wild ipecac, crotons, alcalphas and castor oil are all included. I have had considerable success with Euphorbia fulgens, which makes a good garden shrub, also the well-known Euphorbia splendens, either as a rock plant or grown as a pot plant; but the first named and most widely known has proven itself to be indispensable to the florist.

The Market Business the lasj; week has been only- fair. On account of Christmas being so near it has dropped off to some ex- tent. Cut flower buyers are eidently busy with their Christmas shopping, and the florists cannot expect any particular rush until Christmas week. Considerable holly and green are being handled in a wholesale way. The com- mission houses are doing quite a heavy holly business on account of the close prices they are quoting. Some nice holly was seen by the writer quoted at $3.75 per case, while the larger trade dealers are asking $4.75 and $5 per case. There is a vast difference in the quality, how- ever. But the merchants seem to favor the commission houses, no doubt on ac- count of the price. There is an excep- tionally heavy demand for lycopodium and fair prices are obtained for it. From present prospects the shortage in this section is not so great as was at first anticipated. A great deal is being sold at $6.50 and $7 per crate. The orders from country points have started out quite strongly. The larger dealers each have from thirty to sixty girls busy making wreathing, which sells well at $4.75 and $5 per hundred yards. Christmas trees are arriving in carload lots, and the prominent vacant lots are beginning to fill up. St. PauL The Swanson Floral Co. in future will be conducted by Gust A. Colberg and Alfred Lemke, Mr. Lemke having pur- chased Mr. Swanson 's interest in the business. Mr. Colberg has just returned from Chicago, where he has been in search of Christmas novelties. C. F. Vogt has been especially busy the last week making green and holly wreaths for the Christmas trade, which is heavy, especially on all green goods. The Kamaley Floral Exchange has re- ceived a large consignment of Christmas trees which they will sell at retail only. H. Krinke says trade has been fair and is making preparations for a large Christmas business. L. L. May & Co. have a large force of girls making up wreathing. They handle a large quantity of green goods, supplying a large number of florists throughout the northwest. Felix. Delphi, Ind. — Mrs. R. L. Higginbo- tham has discontinued business.

Roses 312 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Decbmbeb 13, 1906. KANSAS QTY. The Market The market last week was good. Since chrysanthemums are almost gone, the demand for them seems to increase. Pink varieties have been especially scarce. Chrysanthemums have been used more this season for funeral work than during any previous year. Carna- tions are scarce. Narcissi, Roman hya- cinths and stevia are coming in more plentifully, and they help out in making up funeral designs especially. Eoses are of good quality and find ready sale. American Beauties are scarce and much higher in price. Deutsche Pearl azaleas are making their* appearance. All of the early varieties are showing color and will no doubt be ready in time for Christmas. Indications are that carnations will not be plentiful for the holidays; they will be a little late with most of the growers. Poinsettias will be more plen- tiful this year. Several of the growers are raising a good many, and they are looking fine. Although it is a little late to report for Thanksgiving, we will say that the trade on that day was dull. It rained nearly all day; consequently few buyers came out. Had it not been for the good sales that were made the day before it would have been almost a failure. "We noticed that potted plants were more in demand than in previous years. Variouf Notes. Edward Tonquest, who was in Colo- rado last summer for his health, spent a few weeks here with friends, but re- turned last week to Canyon City, Colo. G. P. Kaupp, from Nevada, Mo., spent a few days visiting the craft here. He says that his carnations are looking fine. He rebuilt his whole plant and now has a fine set of new houses. He also grows some fine lettuce, besides geraniums, of which he ships a good many to neighbor- ing towns. Mr. Kaupp has been quite successful, and he has the best wishes of all the florists. Samuel Murray, the Lorraine begonia king, has a house of the finest Gloire de Lorraines in the city. Some are in 10 and 12-inch pots. This is certainly a sight worth seeing. E. C. Keck, from Washington, la., was in this city last week, visiting. He grows quite a lot of carnations, and was also looking for a new market to ship them to. W. H. H.

At the regular meeting of the Elberon Horticultural Society, December 3, great interest was taken in a new seedling car- nation exhibited by Mr. Tierney, of High- lands of Navesink. After being judged in an able manner by Messrs. Grieb and Bauer it was awarded a certificate of merit, scoring ninety points. Mr. Tier- ney named it Mrs. Eobert Hartshorne in honor of his employer 's wife. There was also exhibited by Peter Murray a beau- tiful Phoenix Eoebelenii, scoring ninety points. Carnations exhibited by A. Bauer scored ninety points. Stevia exhibited by A. Grieb scored eighty-five points and violets exhibited by Fred Dettlinger scored eighty-five, points. A committee was appointed by the society to meet the board of education of Oakhurst to ar- range to beautify the school grounds with shrubbery and whatever is required to put the grounds in good condition. The committee is Messrs. Eobertson, Grieb and Dettlinger. After a few re- marks by Herbert Hall the society ad- journed, r. W. D. NEWARK, N. Y. Charles E. Clark started in a small way in the greenhouse business thirteen years ago. His first house was only 18x 24 feet. Now he is the proprietor of the Wallowdale greenhouses and fruit farm, and his success is assured by the fact that he finds a ready market at Buffalo, Roch- ester, Boston and many other cities. Under his 5,000 feet of glass he propa- gates and grows the new and up-to-date varieties, his specialties being chrysan- themums, carnations and novelties in ge- raniums. Mr. Clark does not go in for a great variety of stock, preferring to confine himself mainly to certain spe- cialties, and with these he has been emi- nently successful. In the spring he util- izes his greenhouses for growing early vegetables, and in flowers, vegetables and fruit he is considered quite an expert. The greenhouses are of modern con- struction and this year Mr. Clark made some extensive changes and installed a new heating plant. I WANT to thank the Review for the many orders it has brought me. — S. J. McMiCHAEL, Findlay, O, 500,000 VERBENAS 60 Fincft Named Varieties. Rooted cut- tings, 75c per 100 J $6.00 per 1000.

The first winter I had fairly good success, but last winter and this season so far I have not been able to do a thing with them. After they get up out of the ground nicely they wither and die and upon exainination I find the stem under the ground rots off. H. S. P. To have the best success with sweet peas they must be sown while the weather is cool and before the ground has dried up much. In the northern states this is done as soon after the frost has left the ground as possible. It is necessary for the plants to make good roots Viefore top growth commences. With later sowings, but indifferent suc- cess is, as a rule, the result. Quite rich ground is the best, that of a retentive 4)r clayey nature being preferable, al- though we have seen splendid sweet peas in sandy loam. The seed should be well firmed by tamping and we prefer to hol- low out the rows, saucer-like, to the depth of three or four inches to catch and retain moisture. Covering the seed three inches deep is about right. The practice followed still of covering the seed lightly at first and earthing up stems as they grow is liable to cause rot, especially if heavy rains occur just after the earthing up. We liave never had any success with sweet peas planted in the same land two or more successive years. Fresh ground each year should be used. Possibly the land contains too much potash. Do not use chemical fertilizers. Good, well-rot- ted barnyard manure is preferable. Run the rows north and south, sow thinly while the land is cool, mulch when dry weather sets in and we see no reason why the}' should not do well, even in southern Florida." W. N. C.

T-TERE are two good ones for you, the former the beautiful variegated delicate pink ground spotted with deeper pink, the latter a Lawson shade of pink and both fancy varieties. They are vigorous growers, no grass and every shoot produces a flower. The supply of cuttings will be limited. You cannot well afford to be without some stock of these two excellent varieties. They should and undoubtedly will prove a most valuable asset to our collection of desirable commercial carnations, and growers who would be up-to-date must not be without them.

King, son of R. W. King, and associated with him in the King Con- struction Co., Toronto, Can., has re- cently proven his right to the name of an engineer of no mean order. To him belongs the credit of originating the novel plan, after others had failed, for successfully raising the steamship Ba- varian, which ran on Wye Rock, on the St. Lawrence river, November 3, 1905. Tlie plan was an adaptation of the compressed air principle used in sinking great caissons for bridges, or tunneling under rivers. Air is forced into the caisson or tunnel and maintained at such a pressure as to drive out the mud and water and prevent the chamber from refilling. After the Lloyds, the English experts, had made an unsuccessful attempt to float the steamer by the old methods, Captain Leslie secured the right to make another trial. To Captain Leslie R. O. King and his associate, W. W. Wother- spoon, proposed the air-pressure plan. ]t seemed feasible and Captain Leslie acceded to the proposal and a syndicate was formed. The capital required was about $30,000. Men who were accustomed to working imder enormous air-pressures, called * ' sand hogs, ' ' were secured to the num- ber of about forty. Divers were also engaged, Mr. King and Mr. Wotherspoon working in their diving suits with the rest. After the sides and decks of the ves- sel had been strengthened with planks to prevent the ship from blowing up, the work of forcing in the air began. The different compartments were treated as caissons and the hold and ship's bal- last were also filled with compressed air. Slowly but surely the water in the hold was forced out and the great vessel became light enougli to walk off the rocks. Tugs were on hand to tow her to Quebec. After the vessel was floated the main task was to maintain the pressure suf- ficiently to keep the water out until a safe harbor could be reached. The work was accomplished, however, with- out any serious mishap, and a vessel, which with cargo was valued at .$1,000,- 000, was saved. The syndicate 's share is one-half the valuation. Mr. King is a graduate of McGill University and afterwards studied at Harvard. He speaks modestly of the achievement, but to him, doubtless more than to any other man, belongs the credit of originating an idea which is destined to revolutionize the methods of raising sunken vessels.

USE A STEAM TRAP. 1 am building a range of houses and in excavating for the boiler pit I struck water four feet below the surface. Can I heat economically with the boiler two or three feet below the greenhouse floor by using a trap? What is the best sys- tem for me to install? J.L.J. If you are to use steam, and can main- tain a minimum pressure of six pounds upon the system at all times, you should have no difficulty in getting satisfactory service from a return trap by bringing all the condensation back to a hot well and lifting it from the well to boiler by means of a return trap. L. C. C. TROUBLE WITH HEATING. I have installed a boiler which is not doing well. My house is 18x100 feet. The heater is 2*^x10 feet, and has twen- ty-two 3-inch flues, one 3-inch outlet in the top for the flow and one 3-inch in the bottom for the return. The overhead system of piping is used. There is one 3-inch flow under the ridge, with a rise of eighteen inches above the boiler and then gradually rising to the other end of the house, where I have a vent pipe about a foot higher than the expansion tank, which is above the heater, con- nected to the return just before entering the boiler. This flow feeds six 3-inch returns, which are under the benches, gradually sloping to the heater. Can one 3-inch flow feed six 3-inch returns? Is one 3-inch outlet for the flow enough, or would two flows be better? The grate is 2*/4x2^ feet and the area of the flue is 12x16 inches. Is my number of pipes sufficient for a temperature of 50 degrees in Kentucky climate? G. O. K. The piping you have installed is as nearly correct in amount as it is possible to make it for a temperature of 50 de- grees. The arrangement is satisfactory and the sizes are all ijight. The 3-inch flow should feed the six returns without difficulty. The only changes I can sug- gest are these: Place an aircock at the place now occupied by the vent pipe, then elevate the expansion tank to at least fifteen feet above the top of the boiler, make a good fire and note re- sults. Open the air valve a couple of times a day lo see that there is no air in the system. With these changes you should get good results. L. C. C. PIPE FOR HEATING. Will you kindly advise me how to pipe a house 18x30, nine feet at the back and four feet in front? One end butts against the boiler-house, the other end and front to be glazed.

I wish to use a 3-inch flow and 2-inch returns and have pipe enough to maintain a temperature of 50 degrees in zero weather. F. H. P. By using a single 3-inch flow and eleven 2-inch returns you can heat the house to the desired temperature. If you wish to use two flow pipes instead of one, arrange a flow and five 2-inch returns on either side or under the benches. In this arrangement there would be two 3 -inch flow pipes and ten 2-inch returns. L. C. C. Suppose the above heater were heating your establish- ment. You can see that it uses all of the Fire.

The Market* Thanksgiving was satisfactory and we are looking now for a good Christmas trade. Boses were in full crops and the cut will be lighter for Christmas, but heavy enough to meet demands. Carna- tions are of good quality, but slow com- ing in. Christmas bells seem to be a thing of the past with the florists, as every store in town is dangling full of them. Various Notes. The Dunkley Floral Co. lost about six boxes of glass in the recent storm. The wind blew off some ventilators and made things lively for a while. Grofvert & DeSmit's carnations are fine, especially a bench of Queen is in pink of condition. Koses, callas and pot plants are grown here and are doing well. 5. Batson's place is reported to be in good shape. Baby primroses, snap dra- gon, ten weeks' stocks, and carnations are grown for the wholesale market. 6. Van Bochove & Bro. had a busy Thanksgiving. From 3 a. m. until clos- ing time immense quantities of carna- tions, roses and mums were handled. Potted mums went well, also other pot- ted plants. Extra help for store and extra teams had to be hired for city de- livery. They are also planning to erect three more houses, 27x300, at their new location. The ground already is graded, but the setting in of winter stops further progress. When completed they will have 125,000 feet of glass. The Central Michigan Nurseries did good business at the old stand. There was a nice supply of roses, carnations, mums and other cut flowers. Their greenhouses are looking well. Carnations are arriving in good shape. F. W. Meyers, the riverside florist, re- ports good trade at the cemetery. His carnations are fine. He also intends to put up a house for 'carnations, 22x200, the coming season. ^ ; • H. M. Merrill, Wis. — N. Greivelding has two new shoit-span greenhouses in fine shape.

The flowers are large and full, and are produced on strong and stiff stems, with a rich dark green foliage. The color is a beautiful pink with a deeper shading in the center. The keefiing quality of the flowers is excellent, and it does not lose its brilliancy of color when kept in the cellar. The habit of growth is strong and vigorous; it has absolutely no tendency to go dormant during the Winter and every shoot has a flower bud. AUHORA has inherited the productiveness of Bon Silene and has the free flowering qualities of this well known, prolific variety. It is easy to grow, and does not need a high temperature.

There should be nothing left undone that can possibly be done to prepare for the Christmas trade, which from all signs is going to be a merry time for all and- a specially busy time for all flo- rists. As a rule shoppers buy toys, books and all other articles that will keep ahead of time, but they put off till the last few days all purchases in our line. The rush comes the last two days, in spite of all we can do, and three weeks' honest work must be crowded into forty-e%ht hours. So be prepared with ev^rj_ facility at hand. A sufficient number of plants of each kind should be trimmed and decorated. It is only in our largest cities that the basket arrangements of plants meet with a rea!dy sale, but a few of different designs should be on display, wherever you are, and if they sell it is easy to make up more. Last week's Review contained many examples of such ar- rangements, and these can be varied to a great extent. If our goods could be packed up and put on the shelf for future customers, as most of the articles handled by a department store can be, how simple, it seems, would our business be! Alas, we can do no such thing. If a customer wants a dozen fine carnations or roses, you must show them a vase of 100 and the dozen will be selected out of the lot, and a box ready-lined should be on hand, with suitable paper and other frills that go along with the flowers in these up-to-date days. Have plenty of boxes ready, paper of all qualities, string, etc., so that the least possible delay may occur. This Christ- mas is likely to be as this day has been for years — a plant festival. This exchange of gifts at Christmas time has become a greafcwfad; especially is it a burden to grandpas, and yet we florists are the last who should say aught against it.y~~it^ is beautiful in every way. There are just two things that can be given to anyone without the slightest suspicion that anything serious is meant, and they are a beautiful book or a pretty plant or box of flowers. Don't Ovcrtrim. The writer is not a believer in the overtrimming of plants. You cannot en- hance the beauty of a plant by tiny bells or rosettes of ribbon. The plant is beauty enough in itself, or should be. Make the receptacle in which it comes as decorative as you like, but don't smother the growing plant with inani- mate, lifeless material; but please your customer's taste, whatever it may be. The writer can remember the day when it was thought not improper to send out a plant as a gift with ^ the bare, un- adorned red pot. That 'would not do nowadays with the cheapest purchase. Some green and white tii^sue paper must envelope the pot of a humble primrose, while a pan of poinsettias or azaleas may have all the frills that your cus- tomer is willing to pay for. This expense is not often of cost to the florist. It can and should be at the expense of the customer, and there is a margin of profit in the mat or pot cover that goes with the plant. It may be necessary with those who do a retail business entirely to display every plant ready for delivery. Those who have greenhouses a|t their backs have a great advantage on such occasions. They can have a sufficient quantity of plants ready for sale and delivery, and a lot more in the greenhouse that can be trimmed up as soon as sold. The Division of Labor. Let me remind you that, whether you have greenhouses adjoining your sales- room, or only a shop, you should under all circumstances have a counter, base- Gladiolus Harvard* ment, upstairs room or some place de- voted exclusively to the trimming, tying up and delivery of the plants. To mix this up with the selling or waiting on customers is a fatal mistake. Different men are suitable for different jobs. I have known men who were excellent salesmen, who could satisfactorily wait on three customers at the same time, but when it came to getting off a load of plants were lost. So study just what your help is best at and let each one stick to his part. Handling the Orders. If you have greenhouses, clear out a house, or part of one, and let there be a space devoted to Sunday, Monday and Christmas day deliveries, and let each salesman be instructed to place each plant in the division set apart for that day. When a purchaser buys only one article', or maybe two, I see no difficulty, but when there is an azalea, an orange tree, a bunch of stevia and a dozen roses, the cut flowers are liable to be forgotten or a long special journey made for their delivery. Therefore, on every tag should be written all that is going to that person's home. For instance, it may read: "^Mrs. W. Jennings Rich- ards, two holly wreaths, one pan poinset- tias, one pan Roman hyacinths and one dozen Enchantress carnations. ' ' If this is faithfully called out, not only will the delivery boy not leave before the order is complete, but it will save a lot of vexation to both ends of the business. Careful Routing Needed. I have had occasion before to men- tion the great importance of a good routing clerk, a man who knows the city well. Department stores doubtless have this down fine, but we so seldom get such a widespread delivery as these occasions require. Divide your delivery into dif- ferent sections of the city. People are good-natured at this time of the year, but there are a lot of cranks still on the earth and everyone considers his the most important order given to the firm. When the telephone rings at 8 p. m. and says that "This is Mrs. Jones; where is that azalea that you promised to deliver before 6 p. m.," it causes gray hair to come and wears on your vitality. It behooves you to organize your force to the very best of your ability. William Scott. GLADIOLUS HARVARD. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of the latest novelty in gladioli. The variety, named Harvard, originated by Mr. Tracy, is to be intro- duced by W. W. Rawson & Co,, Boston. It is described as the largest and richest- colored gladiolus thus far introduced. The color is a rich, velvety maroon slightly flushed dark scarlet and is ex- pected to make Princeps take a back seat. In size the flower is among the largest known, the spikes often measuring seven inches across and not many of them less than six inches. The plant is a tall grower, the stems straight but not stiff and are lined with eight to fifteen flowers and buds. Six to ten open flowers usu- ally appear at the same time. The flow- ers do not interfere with each other, as in some of the older types, and the undeveloped buds will open perfectly after the spike is cut. GREENHOUSE MANAGEMENT. Should I syringe the carnations and roses on all bright days to prevent red spider? Is fumigating with tobacco stems, or spraying with a solution of nicotine, the best remedy for greenfly, and about how often should it be used? The leaves on my Ponderosa lemons curl up and fall off. What is the cause; also oranges and crotons? E. H. O. Roses should be syringed on all bright mornings and always early enough to allow time for the foliage to dry. I know one or two growers who syringe 340 The Weekly Florists' Review* Decembeb 20, 1906. their roses every morning, rain or shine, but they are in the great minority, and most good growers syringe only on bright mornings. Carnations are entirely different. With the exception of the first two weeks after carnations are lifted and put on the bencj»es they need no syringing at all, and good growers of this most popular flower do no syringing till the bright, hot days of May, when it may be neces- sary to keep down red spider, and the season will be so far advanced that no harm will come from the syringing. We prefer a solution of some nicotine sprayed on the plants to the old method of burning tobacco stems. Applied with a compressed air bellows it is very ef- fective. If you would rather burn to- bacco, then use tobacco dust burned in a pie dish. It will be much more effective than burning the stems, because it will smolder for two hours, until it is all con- sumed. The trouble with the leaves of your citrus plants is most likely too high temperature and too dry atmosphere. Keep them in the cool end of your greenhouse. Spray often and keep moist at the root. W, 8, LIQUID FERTILIZERS. During the remainder of the season, where the plants are in a vigorous grow- ing condition with the benches full of roots, stimulants in a liquid form may be used with great benefit. Of all the kinds of liquid feeding there is none safer or more effective than that made from fresh cow manure, as it contains all the elements necessary for the purpose and in just -about safe pro- portions, at the same time having little or none of those caustic properties so prevalent in most of the prepared chem- ical foods. This manure should be placed in a tank with sufficient water to cause speedy fermentation, which should take place in a temperature of 60 degrees in twenty-four or thirty hours, when the liquid should be drained off and diluted to the strength required. For a first application the concoction should be rather weak, until the plants have be- come accustomed to this class of food, gradually increasing the strength as results may warrant. This feeding cannot- be indulged in with good results at all stages of growth. The correct time, w;hen the plants can use it with best advantage, is when the young growths for a succeeding crop are from three to four inches in length. An application should be given at least once a week until the buds are well developed and begin to show color, when it should be discontinued. This will materially aid in producing a good cut of high grade roses. Sheep, poultfy and pigeon manure, be- ing of a more caustic nature, should be used more carefully and in a more diluted condition. This class of food being easily and quickly a^irailated should always be used with caution, and especially when any chemically prepared foods are the time a close watch on the effects produced. Weak or unhealthy stock is unable to use any food in this form, and if so used it will only aggravate any troubles they may be suffering from, Eibes, ERRATIC WATERING. Will you kindly tell us what the trouble is with the sample roses sent you? We have never grown roses before. Our present plant is a new one, being built last summer, and of course the roses were planted late, about September 20, in semi-solid beds of tile and cement. The soil was rotted sod and cow manure, well rotted, mixed four to one. Our soil is rather clayey, has some sand and dries out quickly. The roses have been losing leaves since planted. They just seem to dry up and fall off. Are we keeping them too dry, or is it too wet? The mildew and greenfly, of which you will find traces, have only been in about two or three weeks. We have a house 27x300 and would like to save them. L. F. C. added, and should always be tried in a weak condition and on a small scale, noting results. The use of ammonia and nitrate of soda during certain stages of the growth can be employed with great benefit, espe- cially in hastening the development of a crop during the short days, but these being very powerful and immediate in their effects will require extra caution in their use, and should not be used for a first application except in a very weak solution, one pound of either to 100 gallons of water being quite strong enough. During the short days and long nights, when the hours of sunshine are few, it is always safer to be conservative in the use of strong stimulants, rather using them in a weak form and more fre- quently, than to run any risk by strong doses. As the days lengthen the strength can be gradually increased, keeping all These roses do not seem to be suffer- ing from any disease but have the ap- pearance of having been treated amiss in regard to watering. From the indi- cations the application of water has been very erratic, sometimes being overdry and at other times being saturated. This would account for the scalding of the foliage. Give the bench a good soaking until every particle of soil is wet and never allow it to again become dry. If your piping is directly under the benches, examine the soil every day to ascertain if the bed is uniformly moist, and especially at the bottom, where the heat is most intense. This examination should be very critical after applying a mulch, as the manure in the mulch, by absorbing and retaining the moisture, gives the bench the appearance of being wet when the soil near the bottom may be quite dry. The soil seems in every way suitable for rose culture and can with judicious care in watering, ventilating, etc., be made to produce first-class stock. RiBES. VANDA CAERULEA. Blue colored orchidaceous plants are few in number and Vanda ca?rulea is the best known of this shade and one of the best commercial orchids. A na- tive of the Khasya hills in India, it has been in cultivation since 1849. The ma- jority of this genus enjoy tropical treat- ment, but V. ca?rulea, with V. Amesiana and one or two other sorts, prefers a temperature 5 or 10 degrees lower. It also flowers much better when grown well up to the light, with only a light shade in summer. In Great Britain many growers do not shade vandas at all. This variety will grow on blocks or in pots, pans or baskets. We prefer the last name<\ rec^tacles. We use broken potsherds for drainage and a compost of fern fibre mixed with sphagnum. The plants will grow well in pure sphagnum if well drained. The flowering season lasts from September until January. The flowers come quite pale on some plants, especially if grown too hot and dark, but given proper conditions they are of a beautiful cerulean blue. Good spikes December 20, 1906. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 341 Vanda Caerulea* will carry ten to twenty flowers, occa- sionally even more. They keep well, either on the plant or in water. Yearly importations of these now ar- rive each spring in America and any- one who has any sale for orchids should try at least a few. A good supply of moisture in the growing season and drier conditions in winter are essential. Plants which have become too tall should have the tops cut off with a sharp kjiife, with some roots attached, and be placed in small baskets, where they soon estab- . lish themselves. W. N. C. COMMERCIAL ORCHIDS. [A paper read before the St. Louis Florists' Club December 13, 1906, by G. H. Pring, of the Missouri Botanic Garden.] Owing to the orchidacesB being such a large and varied order, 1 intend to deal only with the genera which have commer- cial value, as, cattleyas, laelias, cypripe- diums, odontoglossums, cymbidiums and dendrobiums. Cattleyas and Laelias. These closely allied genera, with their large and highly colored flowers, are among the most popular, useful and showy of all orchids. They are natives of Mexico and Brazil, where they are found in the ravines and valleys. In these situations the plants affix them- selves indifferently to the trunks and branches of trees, or to the bare rocks in the gorges of the mountains. In this wild state scarcely any soil is found at their roots, only a little moss and a few- leaves which have fallen among the stems. Notwithstanding the enormous extent of territory over which the cattleyas and laelias are spread, there is a similar- ity in the climatic conditions, thus favor- ing the horticulturist in being able to cultivate them in the same greenhouse, which is usually termed the cattleya house. The most convenient is a spacious, airy building, well ventilated, running north and south. It is preferable to have all orchid houses lie with this aspect to obtain the full benefit of tSe sun, light being one of the chief items in success- ful orchid cultivation. In such a house, cattleyas and la'lias enjoy a temperature ranging from 55 degrees to 60 degrees in the winter and 60 degrees in summer, with such increment by sun heat as cir- cumstances admit. The compost should consist of peat or polypodium fibre and moss, with an addi- tion of cracked crocks, this keeping the compost sweet. Ample drainage is also an important item. Pots proportionate to the size of the plants should be selected. Overpotting, with the object of stimu- lating the plants into more active growth, is one of the greatest fallacies that can be entertained in orchid culture. The plants should always be potted above the rim of the pot as much as possible to prevent them getting water-logged, and should be potted moderately firm. The best time for repotting is when they be- gin to emit their new roots, according to the species. During the growing sea- son these plants enjoy a plentiful supply of water at their roots, with a slight spraying overhead. "When the growths are mature the water supply should be gradually diminished until enough is needed to prevent shriveling. The shading of the houses during sum- mer should be of some thin material, just enough to prevent injury to the young growths. A plentiful supply of ventilation during the summer is essen- tial. » The best species commercially are: Cat- tleyas Trianae, Mossise, labiata, gigas, Percivaliana, and Warneri. Laelias crispa, pumila, purpurata, autumnalis, anceps and its varieties. Cypripediums. This is a widely distributed genus, na- tive chiefly of northeast India, found on the lower parts of the Himalayas, Burma and the islands of the Malayan archipel- ago, and also South Americai, which is the home of the selenipediums. These differ from the cypripediums in having a three-celled ovary, and the latter a one- celled, a difference, though, not strongly marked in the inflorescence, the scapes producing a succession of flowers, several being open at the same time. Cypripediums, commonly called lady slippers, are no doubt the easiest to culti- vate. More hybrids have been raised by the hands of the hybridist than any other genus, the seedlings flowering in the course of two and one-half to three and one-half years. When imported plants are received it is advisable to lay them out on damp moss, with a slight spraying occasionally, to induce them to emit new roots. They may be potted without fear in a mixture of peat and moss in equal parts, with a little charcoal. Such species as Spicerianum, bellatulum and eoneolor enjoy an addition of fibrous loam and crushed crocks. They should be given a plentiful supply of water during the summer, both at their roots and leaves. Heavy shading during sum- mer is necessary to prevent the leaves be- coming yellow through the strong rays of the sun. The temperature should be kept as near as possible in the winter from 60 degrees to 65 degrees and not less than 65 degrees in the summer. Such species as insigne, etc., enjoy an inter- mediate temperature. A suitable time for repotting is in spring, about March being preferable. When the plants are in full growth a little liquid manure applied occasionally will be beneficial. Odontoglossums. This most popular genus of the cool- house orchid is distributed throughout the mountainous region facing the Pa- cific, extending from Peru to the south- ern p'ortion of Mexico. The Columbian districts being very rich, yield the most sorts. Odontoglossum crispum and O. tri- umphans are quite common. It is quite a common occurrence in the London sales- rooms for such prices as $5,000 to be paid for single specimens of O. Pit- tianum. Although odontoglossums are indigenous to tropical countries, they are found at considerable altitudes, growing on trees, etc. ; hence the majority are better accomniodated in a cool-house, where an abundance of moisture can be obtained all the year round, combined with a free circulation of air. The tropical heat here in St. Louis in the summer is detrimental to the major- ity of the cool-hduse orchids. Although the Mexican species, such as, Odontoglos- sum citrosmum, apiatum, cordatum, In- sleayi, grande, Cervantesii and Eossii, which need an intermediate temperature, can be grown successfully with a little attention. A good general compost for potting odontoglossums consists of equal parts of fibrous peat, fresh, Qhopped sphagnum moss, with an addition of crushed crocks and silver sand. The best time for repot- ting is about the end of September, or in the month of March, according to the condition of the plants. Care- ful watering is necessary after potting to prevent the growths from damping off, especially such species as Cervantesii and Rossii. During summer a plentiful supply of water is essential, both at their roots and leaves. Heavy shading is necessary for these cool-house plants, lath roller blinds being the best, as they can easily be manipulated. Cymbidiums. This is a popular, though not a large genus of orchids, dispersed over the Indo- Malayan region and Japan. The cymbidiums are of robust habit, having stout pseudo-bulbs and thick, fleshy roots, which are freely produced, providing they have ample pot-room for development. The compost should con- sist of good fibrous loam and peat in the proportion of two-thirds of the former 342 The Weekly Florists^ Review* December 20, 1906. and one-third of the latter. Ample drainage should be provided, with an abundance of water during the growing season, keeping them fairly moist dur- ing winter. A shady corner in the cool- house, where an abundance of moisture can be obtained, should be provided for the successful cultivation of these plants. Repotting should be accomplished after the flowering period, when the new growths have started. The most popular species are C. Lowianum, giganteum, eburneum, Tracy- anum, and Hookerianum. Dendrobiums. This large and most interesting genus of epiphytal orchids has a very large dis- tribution over ihe old world, found chiefly in India, Burma, Assam and the islands of the Malayan archipelago. The richest districts are the Himalayas. The dendro- biums indigenous to these districts are enveloped in a humid atmosphere, during their growing period, owing to the enor- mous amount of vapor which ascends from the Bay of Bengal, which is eventu- ally precipitated as rain. After this comes the dry season, which generally lasts about two or three months, thus enabling them to have complete repose. For successful cultivation these plants require a special house, where approxi- mately the natural conditions can be given. The compost should consist of peat and moss in equal parts, with an addition of crushed crocks. During the growing period a plentiful supply of water should be applied to their roots, and an occasional spraying overhead. "When the growths are mature the water supply should be diminished considerably, just enough being given to prevent the growths becoming too shriveled. The temperature during their resting period should be about 50 degrees to 55 degrees. During summer the minimum should be 60 degrees. Repotting should be accom- plished after the flowering period, when the new growths have started. Shading should consist of some thin material, just enough to prevent harm to the young growths. The chief commercial species are D. nobile, Wardianum, Phalaenopsis and formosum giganteum. GLADIOLI FOR EASTER. When is the right time to start Gladiolus Colvillei for Easter? H. W. The species Colvillei is entirely dis- tinct from the hybrids of Gandavensis, being much smaller in bulb, leaf and flower. There is a form or variety of this species known as The Bride which is possibly meant in the above inquiry. Our experience is that it is not easy to force. Two years ago we planted them on a portion of bench where some variety of carnations had turned out unsatisfactorily and a certain percentage flowered in early April. It has a most beautiful, delicate spike of flowers and when we better understand the wants Mill rank high among our choice cut flowers. Will not some one who has flowered this gladiolus please write it up and oblige' H. W. and W. S. and many others? W. S. NOTES FROM ENGLAND. Chrysanthemums are everywhere just now, and from the commercial aspect the cut bloom has been greatly over- done; no market throughout the country has escaped being more or less glutted. Single mums are in great favor this season. Each year they become more popular, and when a good sort is grown there is probably nothing to equal them as a pot plant. W. Wells & Co., of Merst- ham, are giving us a couple of fine new single varieties, which will probably be in the near future standard florists' va- rieties both on account of the color and also the ease with which they may be grown. Edith Harling is a fine yellow. Merstham White is pure and the center a very distinct golden, a very useful com- mercial variety. One of the oldest nurseries in London has been compelled to move out into the country in search of purer air. Messrs. Wimsett have lately carried on a high- class decorating business and have exe- cuted many important and extensive floral decorations at Buckingham Palace. The firm is also one of the leaders for distinctive landscape work and summer bedding. W. Poupart, of Tweekenham, was the recipient of a handsome silver tea and cofifee service, valued at over $1,000, on the occasion of the annual dinner of the Market Gardeners' Association, of which Mr. Poupart has been president for many years. J. B. WINTERING BOX TREES. I have a few box trees to winter. How should they be cared for? Will they stand freezing? Should they be kept in a light or dark cellar? G. P. G. Keep them in a cool house or cool, light shed. Keep the roots moist and a few degrees of frost will not hurt. The same place that you winter your sweet bays will do for the box trees. It would be a mistake to put them in a dark room or cellar. Give them light and keep the roots moist and not over 5 degrees of frost and you will be all right. W. S. SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Single chrysanthemums are having a strong run in popular favor in England just now and, indeed, along the eastern coast of the United States they have made some progress in public esteem. The best of the newer singles is said to be Crown of Gold, illustrated herewith. It is described as a beautiful and very large variety with flowers fully five inches across, and of a delightful and rather bright shade of old gold. It is one of the best that Mr. Pagram, of the Whim Gardens, Weybridge, has raised. It gained a first-class certificate from the National Chrysanthemum Society, and has now, according to the Gardeners' Magazine, passed into the hands of Cragg, Harrison & Cragg, of Heston, for distribution. MR. GODFREY'S VIEWS. In the last issue I note W. J. God- frey rather questions the commendatory remarks I made anent Mrs. Henry Barnes as an exhibition variety. He does not take into account the difference that cli- matic conditions make, perhaps. From what I have seen I do not think that many of the Australians show up so well in England as they do here, notable cases in point being W. Duckham and Nellie Pockett with its sport, Cheltoiii, likewise the wonderful showing Beatrice May has made all over this country. On the other hand many splendid Eng- lish seedlings do not amount to anything here. One of Mr. Godfrey's own, Mary Godfrey, was very nice with me this year as an early yellow, but if he could see his Bessie Godfrey, Godfrey's King, Sensation and some others of his seed- lings as they show up here, he would feel like disowning them. Yet these varieties are splendid in England, as any one who reads a British horticultural periodical knows, Bessie Godfrey perhaps having stood longer as the premier yellow in England than any other variety. Mr. Godfrey shows a correct knowl- edge of what we need here in the com- mercial line of flower and while his new Mary Donrfellan, if it 'is a Japanese, is hardly the proper form for us, if it iS the color he states we must certainly try it. Charles H. Totty. MUMS AND VEGETABLES. I find that after taking off the last crop in the spring from my greenhouse I can bring on a fall crop of mums, providing I can put off planting in the benches until the last week in July, with the exception of a few early varie- ties which I can plant in June. To grow mums for the wholesale market, could I bring on the late varieties in pots and plant in the benches when I have them cleared the latter part of July? Can I grow a good crop of mums in solid benches in soil that has been used for lettuce and cucumbers during the winter and spring, and would you advise much additional manure where the soil has been well enriched for the previous crops? What one color and varieties of that color, earlies and lates, would you consider best for wholesale market, sacrificing quantity for quality? How many good cuttings ought I to expect from 100 stock plants? What do you consider the neatfst and best method of packing blooms for shipping, size and kind of boxes, paper, and the plac- ing of blooms in the box? Could you suggest any other crop than mums, or use to which I could put the benches frtoi the last of July to the first of December? W. K. It is entirely possible for W. K. to grow late kinds by planting the last week in July if he has struck them in June and has them in nice shape in 2^2- inch pots. Lots of plants intended to flower by Thanksgiving are planted around that time. Chrysanthemums can be grown in soil that has grown a pre- Dbcembeb 20, 1906. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 343 Single Chrysanthemum Crown of Gold. vious crop providing it is sweet and in good shape. Planting anything into a heavy, soggy, sour soil is worse than useless. But if the mechanical condition of the soil is right it may be enriched by an inch or so of well rotted manure and a sprinkle of bone meal, which should be well worked through the top five inches of the solid bed. Were I figuring on such a proposition I would use the new good soil for the mums, and then, in the early winter, this soil would grow good lettuce; for I have seen this successfully done. At the same time, the best growers do not consider it time wasted to use new soil for every crop. As to what one color is best to grow, either white or yellow has the largest sale, and I would suggest, perhaps, yel- low, if W. K. only wants one color. A good selection would be as follows: Early, Monrovia, October Sunshine, Hal- liday; late. Yellow Eaton, Nagoya, Mrs. Geo. Beech, Yellow Chadwick. The amount of cuttings that can be taken from a given number of stock plants depends almost entirely on the skill of the propagator and the condi- tion of the stock plants. In a recent issue I gave about twenty plants as be- ing an average number to obtain from a healthy stock plant. On that basis W. K. will produce 2,000 plants from his 100 stock plants. There are many styles of packing the blooms, as W. K. will see if he ever strolls through the wholesale market of a big city during the mum rush. From the shoebox to an 8-foot coffin, every style of box in brought into requisition. The best way for any shipper is to go to his agent and have a business talk with him, and if that commission agent knows his business (and most of them do) he can set him right in short order as to styles of packing for his trade. I know of no crop that W. K. could put in for the late summer months that would bring in the money that mums would. Melons might be tried, perhaps, if W. K. has a market that would take a choice article in that line. Chas. H. Totty. WATERING. Is it feasible to water in the morning, say 7 a. m., when the thermometer out- side stands from 15 to 20 degrees above zero, or is it best to wait until 9 or 9:30 a. m., especially on cloudy days, pro- viding the greenhouse can be watered before noon? This applies to general greenhouse stock, bedding plants, carna- tions, etc. E. B. This is a question quite out of the common, but one that deals with the very essence of greenhouse management. The writer has had occasion to say before that operations in aii greenhouse consisted of two divisions of work, the mechan- ical and the mental. If there is none that is purely mental, then it is manual with a large percentage of the mental. Potting and shifting plants, tying, and transplanting from the greenhouse to the garden, these are the mechanical duties of a greenhouse workman. The mental are watering, syringing and ventilation. It is not how to give ventilation, or how to water. It is when 4^ do these impor- tant operations. To answer your ques- tion, I will say, that, at 7 a. m. in mid- winter it would be scarcely light enough to see clearly what plants neeued water and those that did not, especially in dark, cloudy weather. There is no need of beginning so early. -AS the season advances and the sun rises earlier and shines stronger, then if you see in the eastern horizon that Old Sol is going to rise in all his glory and it 's going to be a bright, sunny day, then watering and syringing can be begun as early as you like. You have not said that you alluded to midwinter, but from climatic conditions outside I infer your question was for that season. Your query reads, "Is it feasible?" I think you meant to say, "Is it advisable to water in the morn- ing, say 7 a. m.?" to which I say em- phatically, No ! Leave the watering until 9 a. m., until you' can tell more readily what the succeeding hours will bring forth. To be reminiscent, once more, of my own effusions, we have said that waterers are, like poets, born, not made. For that matter, it would be nearer the truth if the word gardeners were substituted in place of waterers. Broadly, here are some good rules for this most important of all greenhouse operations: From October 1 to April 1 we water always in the forenoon, and on dull, rainy days no watering is done in any house which is kept below 55 de- grees. In a iiouse where a high tem- perature is kept this is of less conse- quence, because the heat from the pipes will dry up the moisture on the foliage. From early April to the end of Septem- ber, providing you have a little fire heat and ventilation, you can water in the afternoon. I trust these dates will not be understood as arbitrary. April may be cold and cloudy or bright and warm, and there is where you may exercise your own brains, and, depend upon it, if you don't possess in your own right that es- sential gray matter you cannot buy or borrow the stuff, and no college in the land can improve its quality or ad'd to its weight one particle. The only method to improve your thinking apparatus is to exercise it, the same as muscle is im- proved. In the winter, with a lower tempera- ture and the sun obscured, there is little evaporation from the foliage of plants and less water at the roots is needed. With our soft-wooded plants, and even with our more important plants, like roses, carnations, violets and chrysanthe- mums, no good grower would like to see them go to rest for the night with the fo- liage wet. So never water in any house unless you are sure there is time 'for the moisture to dry up by evaporation before night. There may be some exceptions with a few plants, but so few they are not worth loentioning. In lookingaroun^i a large range of rose houses a few days ago I questioned with the proprietor the wisdom of syrin- ging on dull days and added that I knew some successful growers who would not syringe for a week, preferring to wait for a bright day. My host replied: "I like to syringe. If it is dull, then I put on a little more steam to dry the foliage and lower it again when I see it is dry." This is all in the line of reason and logic. There is a great difference in the con- dition of atmosphere relished by the na- tive plants of Borneo or Java and those of temperate America and Europe, but 344 The Weekly Florists^ Review* December 20, 1906. that is another story. You will find a chapter on watering in "The Florists' Manual ' ' which is better than the above. The writer has not improved by practice since that chapter was penned. W. S. ASPARAGUS SPRENGERI. Should the seed of Asparagus Sprengeri be removed from its red shell when gathered? How is the seed best sown, in small lots, and how long does it take to germinate? C. B. It makes no difference whether the seetl is what seedsmen call cleaned or sown with the red, fleshy covering. For several reasons it is always cleaned when handled by seedsmen, but if you have saved your own crop you need not go to the trouble of cleaning the seed. Sow ill flats two inches or three inches deep, on a smooth surface and keep the seeds from touching when you scatter them on the surface. Sift on enough soil to just cover the seeds out of sight. Fresh seeds sliould be up in seven or eight weeks. Some growers soak the seeds of aspara- gus for twenty-four hours, but in your case there will be no need of that. W. S. CARNATION RUST. I enclose samples of foliage of my Harlowarden and Lawson carnations. Will you tell me Avhat is the trouble and the remedy? W. H. F. Your carnations are affected with the common carnation rust, which I have pre- scribed for repeatedly in my answers to inquiries. The main cause of this trouble is too much moisture on the foliage. If you keep the plants dry it will not trouble you any. To get rid of it, pick off as much as you can and then ddst your plants with dry-slaked lime and sulphur in equal portions, or you can use grape dust. All these have a drying effect and will tend to keep the spores of this disease inactive. Dispense with the syringing as much as you can for a time, but keep a sharp eye out for red spider. When you water, be care- ful to wet the soil only, and give air abundantly at every opportunity. A. F. J. B. NITRATE OF POTASH. Will you tell me in what proportion to use potash for carnation beds? J. B. When you say potash I presume you mean nitrate of potash. Use a good 3- inch potful to fifty gallons of water, which is plenty strong enough for this time of the year. During the dark days of midwinter feeding should be light, if indulged in at all, so go cautiously. When the days begin to lengthen you can give it to them without much dan- ger. . A. F. J. B. CARNATIONS OUTDOORS. Wliat varieties of carnations would be best for growing outdoors? H. W. of 31/0 -inch pots, plants that have been topped at least twice, you will be able to cut several blooms to the plant by August and several times as many dur- ing September and October. The Queen, Moonlight and Indiana Market are good whites for this purpose; Beatrice, Fair Maid, Enchantress in light pink; Wra. Scott, E. Crocker in bright pink. Rose- pink Enchantress cannot be used in this class as it conies light pink during hot weather. Use G. H. Crane for scarlet. A. F. J. B. AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. Everything is in readiness for the meeting in Toronto, Ont., January 23 and 24, excepting the flowers for the exhibition, and the attendance. The exhibition ought to be good and large, as the premiums offered are large and many of them. The flowers, as soon as they enter Canada, will have special care from the express company providing tlie society label is used. This label can be procured by applying to the secretary, and it will also pass them through the custom house without any delay or annoyance. The attendance ought to be large, as the papers to be read and the discus- sions that will come up are imusually interesting. The one and one-third fare will apply to all of the country covered by the Central, Trunk Line, and the New England and Canadian Passenger Associations. The premium list can be had by apply- ing to the secretary, and in this con- nection he wants to publicly apologize to William Scott, of Buffalo, N. Y., for inserting the name of another party in place of his as judge. The list of judges should read W. N. Rudd, Mt. Green- wood, 111.; William Nicholson, framing- ham, Mass.; William Scott, Buffalo, N. Y. January 16 is the last day for entries to reach the secretary. Intending ex- hibitors who have not yet joined the society will please note and apply for the premium list at once, so as to get entry blanks and information needed in time to get their entry in before Janu- ary 16. Albert M. Hekr, Sec'y. The Toronto Convention. The sixteenth annual meeting and ex- hibition of the American Carnation So- ciety will be held in the City hall at Toronto, Ont., January 23 and 24. All arrangements have been made for one of the most successful meetings the so- ciety ever has had. Arrangements have been made whereby all exhibits bearing the society's label, obtainable from Sec- retary Herr, and addressed to E. F. Col- lins, Toronto, will be passed through the custom house without delay and without payment of duty. George H. Mills is to be superintendent of the exhibition. The judges are to be W. N. Rudd, William Nicholson and William Scott. The general premiums are those of recent years. The special premiums in- clude the society's gold, silver and bronze medals and the S. A. F. silver and bronze medals. A premium of $100, divided into three purses, is offered for the best display, fifty blooms to a vase and not to exceed twenty varieties. The Canadian Horticultural Association offers a silver cup worth $50 for the best six vases of fifty blooms each. The Steele-Briggs Seed Co. offers a silver cup worth $25 for six vases of twenty- five each. The Montreal Gardeners' and Florists' Club offers a cup worth $25 to the exhibitor making the largest dis- play. The Dale Estate offers a silver cup valued at $25 for 100 blooms of any carnation to be disseminated in 1907. J. H. Dunlop offers $10 for fifty white carnations; W. Gammage, $10 for twenty-five blooms of any pink seedling; W. J. Lawrence, $10, for fifty blooms There are a number of varieties which can be bloomed quite successfully during the latter part of the summer, if tney are handled accordingly, though we have none that will produce heavy crops natu- rally during that time. To get best re- sults you should get the cuttings into the sand at once, and if they were rooted now it w#uld be even better. Shift along as rapidly as needed and top as often as the plants will stand it, the idea being to get as many breaks by planting-cut time as possible. If you can plant out Establishment of Charles Dauernheim, Kimmswick, Mo. December 20, 1906. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 345 limited to growers with less than 20,000 feet of glass; J.

The accompanying illustrations are from photographs made a few weeks ago at the establishment of Charles Dauern- heim, Jr., at Kimmswick, Mo., about twenty miles south of St. Louis, for which market Mr. Dauernheim grows car- nations, and nothing but carnations. He is located on the Mississippi river, where soil conditions are good, and produces excellent stock. One picture shows the east end of the range and the other shows the interior of the new propagat- ing house, just completed, with its brick- bottomed bench filled for the reception of the first batch of 60,000 cuttings. Mr. Dauernheim is one of the progress- ive growers of the St. Louis district and his standard sorts include all the latest varieties, his list being possibly larger than it otherwise would be from the fact that he does quite a large busi- ness in rooted cuttings. His whites include Bountiful, White Perfection, Vesper, Boston Market, Fred Burki and the old stand-by. Flora Hill. In pink he grows Lawson, Joost and Eclipse, with, of course, Enchantress for light, and his list of reds is relatively longer, for he has Crane, Estelle, Flamingo and Cardinal. He is one of the growers who still finds a profit in Prosperity. Some of the new sorts are on trial with Mr. Dauernheim. Aristocrat shows up well, fine growth, and in his opinion beats all the pinks. Bonnie Maid and Red Warrior, the Dorner pair, are also doing notably well. enhanced by the specimen palms in jar- dinieres that harmonize with their sur- roundings, and great bunches of cut flowers in tall vases that always add brightness to the general effect. Everybody also knows that Robert Crawford, Jr., is the owner of the Phil- adelphia Carnation Co. 's plant at Se- cane, in Delaware county, but every- body does not know that these two suc- cessful business enterprises have now been merged into one, and that both the store and the greenhouses will hence- dustry have secured him a large follow- ing. When 'to this is added the fact that Mr. Crawford is thoroughly fa- miliar with the purchasing power of a dollar under diverse conditions, his suc- cess as a retailer is easily understood. As a grower, however, Mr. Crawford's position was not until recently so se- cure. His early training had given rudi- mentary knowledge. He thoroughly un- derstood the care of plants in the con- servatory attached to his store, and in the house, but whether the pennies so freely to be invested in glass houses could be induced to return when crops were harvested was quite another mat- ter. Of course it ought to pay, but so many growers missed crops, got diseases in their houses, and so on, resulting in belated or poor flowers and plants, or no flowers or plants at all, that it was not until last spring that Mr. Crawford decided that lie could make greenhouses pay and acted accordingly. Result, two new houses at Secane. One is filled with four beds of Aspara- gus plumosus, now yielding heavily, and two beds filled with pots of Queen Alex- andra daisies, the pots plunged in the soil. These plants are in fine condition. They are highly prized for decorating. This house is 30x102 feet. The second new house is nearing completion. It is to be used for stock plants. The carna- tion range is 66x204 feet and contains 14,000 plants of medium size in excellent condition. Mrs. F. Joost, Fair Maid, Enchantress and Queen Louise are the bread and butter varieties, while Harry Fenn, Roosevelt, Prosperity, Fragrance, Lieut. Peary and Robert Craig form the list of fancies grown in smaller quanti- ties. Under the gutter are a fine lot of calla lilies in pots just coming into bloom. A fine house of sweet peas contains bright pink that should be in bloom for the holidays, plants now three feet Steubenville, O. — S. S.

The success of Robert Crawford, Jr., as a retail florist is of many years' standing. His taste, reliability and in- high and showing bud. The pale pink and white varieties are not so far ad- vanced. The mushroom house of sixteen beds is doing great work this season, the yield being good and prices high, owing to the failure of crops in some localities, so that the profit has been very satis- factory. Phil, 346 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Decbmbeb 20, 1906. THE READERS' CORNER. Mr. O'Mara's Comment. On page 305 of the issue for December 13 one of your correspondents states that "none of the poinsettias is white." That is a mistake; there is a white form but it is rarely heard of now. It never attracted much attention. There is also a double form which is equally obscure. On page 248 Brother Scott makes the statement that The Bride rose is a sport from Bridesmaid. I think he is mis- taken. It originated with the late James Tajplin, at Maywood, N. J., as a sport from Catherine Mermet, Patrick O 'Mara. White Poinsettias. AH poinsettias are euphorbias, but all euphorbias are not poinsettias by any means. Yes, there are white poinsettias; exact counterparts of the red except in color. The white color is somewhat creamy^ Between twenty and thirty or more years ago white ones were a good deal grown in private gardens, more as a variety than /or effect, however, for they have nothing of the 'decorative and striking value of the scarlet poinsettia, I have seen them in bloom in gardens in southern California, where, in com- pany with the scarlet form, they are as hardy, vigorous and thrifty. My dear old friend. Dr. Tranceschi, of Santa Barbara, can put you on the track of them. In southern Florida I have also seen them as open-air garden plants. Here try the Eeasoner Bros., Oneco, Fla. But if I remember aright the biggest masses of them I ever saw iil bloom were in the West Indies, in the Hope Botan- ical Gardens, Jamaica. Indeed, so fine were they in these gardens that I pro- cured a lot of cuttings from the superin- tendeAt to bring home with me to the Phipps Conservatories. For outdoor planting, however, the * ' double-flowered ' ' scarlet form com- pletely eclipses th^ single one. It is the latter, that is usually grown in our green- houses. The double is as easy to grow and as vigorous and floriferous as the other and vastly more vivid and showy, and it lasts i^ bloom much longer. A great bank of poinsettias, eight or ten feet high and in full bloom in the open air in the tropics, is the most brilliant floral effect on earth. Bougainvilleas may run up twenty feet, one solid mass of bloom for many yards, striking in the extreme, but it lacks the fire of the poin- settia. \Vm. Falconer. BOSTON. The Market. Conditions are about as reported a week ago, there being little overplus of anything. The usual holding back for Christmas is now in full progress, Koses are stiffening and few are obtain- able, even on short stems, below $4 per hundred. Brides and Maids are none too plentiful at present. Chatenay and Wellesley are good, while some nice Kil- larney, Mrs. Oliver Ames and Mrs. Mor- gan are seen. Killarney still remains popular. Bichmond is extra fine, al- though some good Liberty also are seen. Beauties of the best grades are marked Lebaxox. Pa. — C. C.

WE SHAIX BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM TOU. up to $60 and will be higher later in the week. Carnations vary from $2.50 to $6. These promise to be in heavy demand for Christmas and colored sorts will bring fancy prices. Violets are no more than enough for the demand, but we ex- pect a liberal showing for the holidays. Prices are about the same on these. A fair supply of chrysanthemums still ar- rive, Eaton being most abundant. P&per Whites and Eoman hyacinths are in good supply and rather more Lilium Harrisii and callas are coming in. Poinsettias are bringing up to $6 per dozen bracts. Marguerites, both yellow and white, sell extremely well, averaging $1.50 per hun- dred and will bring much higher prices later in the week. There is a fair sup- ply of bouvardia, mignonette, antir- rhinum and lily of the valley. A stronger call is noted for Asparagus plumosus nanus. Other green stock re- mains about the same. In pot plants Firefly azalea is again much in evidence and sells better than the larger-flowered sorts. Ardisias, solanums, cyclamens, primulas, poinset- tias, Cypripedium insigne and a variety of other flowering plants are seen. Club Meeting. The attendance at the closing meeting of the year on December 18 was again a splendid one and brim full of enthu- siasm, W. H, Wyman's interesting paper on "Craft and the Craftsman" was well received and freely discussed. It was announced that the landscape classes were successfully under way with an enrollment of about sixty. Twelve new members were voted in. The secre- tary gave some statistics as to attend- ance and applications received during the year. Average attendance 120, com- pared with eighty-fiveu ^ 1905.' Total number of new members received in the year 125. Some discussion arose over an amendment to the by-laws relative to ' the nomination of officers from the floor instead of through a nor^inating com- mittee, as at present. The amendment was moved by F. E. Palmer, but was not adopted. Eetiring President "Wheeler gave no- tice that the January meeting will be ladies '' night. The newly elected officers ' will be installed and J, K, M. L. Far- quhar will give a stereopticon lecture on "Italian Gardens" as seen in Italy during his recent trip. Owing to the near approach of Christmas exhibits were hardly so numerous as usual, but some interesting things were shown. H. A, Stevens Co. showed splendid vases of variegated and light pink sports of Law- son and some seedlings. S. J. Goddard showed Princess of Wales violets and Downs had nice Lorraine begonias. The question box and refreshments occupied some time and the last meeting of 1906 proved one of the best in the club's his- tory. Various Notes. F. W. Fletcher, of Auburndale, has had several tempting offers for his stock of Ficus altissima. This promises to be an excellent commercial plant and is much more graceful than the better known F. pandurata. It makes an ex- cellent house plant, William H.

The visitors were loud in their praises of the "roses seen, the Richmonds espe- cially exciting their admiration. Boston was reached on the return trip about 7 o 'clock after a most pleasant outing. William Nicholson spent a tew days in New York last week, looking up some of the leading carnation establishments. At Cottage Gardens, Alma Ward, Bea- con, Victory and other sorts were found in grand condition. Dailledouze Bros, also had a splendid stock of carnations. W. E. Doyle is showing a lot of beau- tifully flowered white Lorraine begonias in his Boylston street store. The landscape gardening classes of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club started December 14 with an excellent attendance. Some sixty members are now enrolled. Houghton & Clark are displaying some excellent Ficus pandurata at their store. Some good Lsella autumnalis were also noted. H. M. Eobinson & Co.'s salesrooms at 15 Province street are a busy hive of in- dustry at present. Immense quantities of wreathing and greenery of all sorts are being disposed of and much over- time is necessary to cop« with the in- creasing volume of business. Their cut flower trade shows a steady increase, shipments going to some of the most distant points in New England. Horrigan, of East Foxboro, is hand- ling large quantities of cut yellow mar- guerites of fine quality, in the culture of which he is a specialist. William Nicholson is also a successful cultivator of these. H. H. Barrows & Son are having great sales for their Nephrolepis Whitmani and a heavy demand for the other va- rieties of nephrolepis they grow. A successful and interesting children's garden conference was held at Horticul- tural hall December 15. There were ad- dresses by the Hon. George H. Martin on "The Educational Value of School Gardens ; " " Horticultural Education for School Teachers," by Prof. P. A. Waugh; "The School Garden in Nor- mal Schools," by W. A. Baldwin, and "Children's Gardens and the Public," by Frank M. Marsh. There were inter- esting discussions on these papers. Pho- tographs showing children's garden work, etc., were on exhibition and the prize list for 1907 was announced. December has proven the coldest with two exceptions we have had for thirty- three years, but as we had a consider- able excess of mean temperature up to December 1 we can stand slightly more frigid conditions.

This year the president, H. N. Bruns, is grower and retailer, but the other offi- cers, aside from treasurer, are the whole- salers, whose portraits are presented herewith. The. vice-president of the club is Leon- ard Kill, who is known far and wide as the representative of Peter Eeinberg in the selling end of his business. Mr. Kill is young in years but old in experience, having started in Mr. Eeinberg 's whole- sale house before it was nearly as much of a factor in the market as it has since become. He is thoroughly conversant with all features of the trade and his personal popularity makes him an excel- lent officer for the club. The recording secretary is Philip C. Schupp, who is the manager of the sell- ing end of the business of the J. A. Bud- long Estate. As was the case with Mr. Kill, Mr. Schupp married into the trade. ^Trs. Kill and Mrs. Peter Eeinberg are sisters. Mrs. Schupp is the daughter of J. A. Budlong. Mr. Schupp 's training was in the mercantile line, and when he assumed the management of Mr. Bud- long's wholesale store he brought to it a knowledge of business methods that has been invaluable in the development of the business, for too often florists suf- fer through lack of system. No better selection could be made for the secretary- ship of the club, for Mr. Schupp may be relied upon as sure to have the details well in hand, with a place for everything and everything in its place. The newly elected financial secretary is E. C. Amling, who is regularly called upon to handle the funds whenever any community undertaking is in hand. He is the only commission man represented in the club's official roster. He began as a grower, being for some time in partnership with his brother, A. F. Am- ling, at Maywood, but has now been eleven years in the wholesale cut flower business, developing from a very small start to a business which is a consider- able factor in this market, through the application of conservative methods. He has a reputation as a good collector, which will be of value to the club. The treasurer is Edgar Sanders, who has held the office these many years, the last several of them in spite of his pro- tests that he is ready to relinquish the office in favor of some younger man. The Eeview published the portrait of President Bruns and a brief sketch of his career in the Annual Autumn Num- ber. Under Mr. Bruns' leadership the club promises to take a new lease of life. At the inauguration last meeting night Mr. Bruns sCt forth some of the things he purposes to do. Possibly most important of all, he declares that he will call the meeting to order at 8 p. m. sharp so long as that is the hour .speci- fied in the by-laws. If there is no quorum present by 8:15 he declares there shall be no further waiting. Fort Edward, N. Y. — Walter L. Mead has just completed a greenhouse 20x100 feet. Leroy Fleming, formerly of Glens Falls, N. Y., is manager. Danville, III. — During the heavy rain December 5 the boiler pits at the Smith greenhouses on North Vermilion street, in Eoselawn, filled with water, putting out the fires at midnight. Pumps were put into operation, but fires could not be started until noon, and for a time it looked as though there would be serious damage. 348 The Weekly Florists' Review* Decembeb 20, 1906. NEV YORK. Christmas Prospects* The prospects for a grand Christmas trade are bright. Everybody is expecting it and planning accordingly. Even Dame Nature has taken a hand, and by mak- ing shipments of roses less than the mar- ket readily absorbs has made it impos- sible for any great rise before the holi- days and is giving promise of an abun- dance for Christmas at reasonable fig- ures. I think the pickling menace grows less and less every year. No reputable grower indulges in it. He can't without being found out. It is becoming com- mendable nowadays to send the complete output of the greenhouses daily. The man who fails to do so soon gets a bad name. Before long no wholesaler will handle stock over twenty-four hours old. We look for no great advance, therefore, in the quoted prices of the present week. Beauties may go to $1 each, Maids and Brides to $25 per hundred for the best. The quality generally gives no cause for fault-finding. It is superb. There were never finer carnations shipped than those now coming to New York. All the fancy stock and the nov- elties sell out clean and at good figures. There will be quite a few mums for the holidays. Gardenias are rising and in constant demand. Orchids, too, grow constantly in favor. The demand for all the varieties listed by McManus is be- yond the possible supply. The call from other cities has developed into a steady demand that will take considerable hus- tling to satisfy. The outlook for the orchid grower is bright. We have many of them in this vicinity. There will be plenty of valley, nar- cissi and hyacinths for Christmas. Lil- ies are not abundant; $15 per hundred will doubtless be the asking price for the holidays. Violets will sell at $1. Few were worth that during the last ten days. It is possible the specials may touch $1.50 next Saturday. The retailers are all counting on a big plant sale and are already making up their baskets of assorted foliage and blooming stock in great abundance. Aza- leas, orange trees, dracaenas, fancy va- rieties of ferns and heather seem to be the favorite combinations. Various Notes. Weiss & Pf annebecker, at One Hun- dred and Fifteenth street and Second avenue, have sold their store to Ditzen- berger, of Eighty-eighth street and Lex- ington avenue. The location is a good one. TTie old firm intend making a trip to Germany and Switzerland, the birth- place of its members. J. B. Nugent decorated the New York Athletic Club, of which he is a member, and the Union League Club elaborately last week. Han ft Bros, are already making prep- arations for the Arion ball early in the year, and the Mallons, of Brooklyn, the Emerald ball in February, as usual. Myer had a brilliant Christmas bell window last week that attracted much attention. Bloomingdale Bros. ' retail department is kept up -to date and its windows adorned with novelties with Mr. Wade in charge, while Mr. Burnham has the big conservatories crowded with everything in plant and flower that can draw and satisfy tie big clientele he controls. Warendorff, at Madison and Fifty- ninth streets, had some unique funeral work last week in easel and pall con- struction. Quite out of the ordinary. The Eussian artist here is original and has just returned from a year's experi- ence in California. Henry Hession, at Madison avenue and Seventy-sixth street, and Lena Hart, at Seventy-eighth street, have beautifully decorated stores. W. C. Mansfield, on Lexington avenue, and J. B. Nugent, Sr., also are demonstrating their ambition and faith in the Christmas trade by extensive stock and attractive windows. J. H. Small & Son's big store is re- splendent with electrical effects, bego- nias, baskets of varied combinations and grand specimen Whitmani and Elegantis- sima. D. J. Mackintosh has baskets in end- less quantity and variety. Mr. Mackin- IfSIVERY now and then a well i&Sl pleased reader speaks the word which is the means of bringing a new advertiser to m Such friendly assistance is thoroughly appreciated, -b Give us the name of anyone from whom you are buying, not an adver- tiser. We especially wish to interest those selling articles of florists' use not at present advertised. FLORISTS* PUBLISHING CO. 520-40 Caxton Bldg. Chicago tosh, Sr., has just returned from a long visit in Ireland and Scotland. At Thorley's new Broadway store magnificent vases of Beauties and bou- gainvillea were the decoration. Thomas Young, Jr., has three big re- tail centers filled with the choicest or everything that makes Christmas worth while floriculturally. He had charge of the big Humphrey church and house wedding Saturday, one of the events of the season, also the Bacon wedding on Thursday, another elaborate affair. M. Bowe, in the heart of the city, has added some noted artists to his force for the holidays and his beautiful store is all too small for the big transient trade that comes to his mill, while his family engagements keep him busy at dinners aHd weddings most of the time. He is ' ' Heady for a record Christmas, ' ' he says, and that is about what everyOody expects this year. A. L. Young & Co. have a fine stock of geraniums and poinsettias in pots for Christmas. T. L. Moore, of Moore, Hentz & Nash, is visiting his growers in Khode Island. T. Mellstrom, of Sander & Son, sailed for England Saturday to spend Christ- mas with his family. The auctions are over. Last Thursday Mr. Elliott decided to give his melliflu- ous voice a rest. He has had a success- ful season. W. C. Krick is overwhelmed with or- ders for letters this year, and his pat- ented Christmas tree holder is also in great demand. Arthur T. Boddington reports a great demand for gladioli, especially the Shakespeare, May and America varieties. Harry Bunyard is expected back from a very successful trip for the holidays. John J. Foley has sold his green- houses at Madison and is giving all his attention to his big retail store on the Bowery and to the construction of his new album of floral photographs. F. W. O. Schmitz, of Prince Bay, has disposed of an immense number of ever- greens as well as Azalea Indica. This has been the largest year in his history. The Lord & Burnham Co. is still as busy as if the season were at its zenith instead of waning. Hitchings & uo. are enjoying a goodly share of the general prosperity and when their immense works at Elizabethport are completed they will have all the con- veniences needed to considerably increase their output. Anton Schultheis has a grand display of Christmas plants, but they all will be disseminated by Saturday. New York and Brooklyn take most of them. Bobbink & Atkins, of Eutherford, have a great stock of azaleas in bloom for Christmas. Andrew Wilson, of Summit, was in the •city last week in the interests of his scale-killing plant oil. The sale of it is already making a larger force and greater conveniences for its manufacture a necessity. The orchid men are all busy import- ing, building and shipping. Julius Eoehrs Co., Lager & Hurrell, Carrillo & Baldwin, A. Held and Siebrecht & Son are all doing their share to make pos- sible the supplying of the imus'ual de- mand that has developed from every part of the country. F. E. Pierson Co. have sent out some grand specimens of Elegantissima for the Christmas decorations. Winsor is coming to the market from the big houses at Scarboro and is very popular. O. v. Zangen, the seedsman of Hobo- ken, reports his biggest year. Eeed & Keller report big business for Christmas. H. Frank Darrow is back from the west after a very successful trip. John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park, has sold all the great stock of Phoenix Eoebelenii he offered the trade earlier in the year, with the exception of the seed- lings. Sheridan's Beauties, as usual, will be a feature on Twenty-eighth street for Christmas, and Saltford's violets on Twenty-ninth street, from his own greenhouses, demonstrate he knows "how to grow" them. All the wholesale houses are optimistic as to the holiday trade and making more extensive prepa- ration than usual for it. New York Defeats Madison.

Some have a big blotch of a distinct color at the base of each petal, a feature hitherto unknown in Iceland poppies and a decided break in a new and desirable direction. In cauliflowers, the crops in France are fairly good and the quality average. The like may be said of Danish pro- ductions. But because of the shortage of Italian varieties and other cultures there has been a heavy demand for all stocks, so that prices are rapidly on the rise and likely to stop only at a high figure. J. B. PEA CROPS IN ENGLAND. The crops of seed peas in England are fine this season. Not for many years has there been anything like the quan- tity per acre harvested. The quality has not for many years been of such high standard nor of such a uniform nature. Some samples I have seen of the garden varieties of the wrinkled Marrowfat class required hardly any hand picking, but coming straight from the threshing and cleaning almost in a suitable condi- tion for retailing. Of course with this condition of things prices are low and likely to go still lower. This season would be an excellent opportunity for some American and Canadian trade growers to replenish their strains of standard sorts from reliable English stocks. Both quality and price will scarcely ever be more favorable than during the present season. Given a fav- orable weather condition, and it is a well-known fact that British grown seed peas, especially of the large wrinkled garden varieties, can compete with peas grown in any other part of the world. It has been the custom for many years, in market gardens and the like, to grow peas, where they are intended for pulling green, with the aid of sticks or wire, so that the haulm is kept off the ground, but it is seldom this method is practiced in growing for seed, prob- ably the idea being that the method would prove too costly. Where quantity handled is the first consideration, it would be impracticable, but where qual- ity only is considered this tnethod, for seed saving purposes, has much to com- mend it. The results of some experiments which came under my notice the other day at the establishment of one of our leading seedsmen, amply proved the statement. A given number of seeds were grown under the ordinary method of seed culture and a like number by the aid of pea sticks some four feet iigh, with the result that the latter method yielded three-fourths more seed. The waste during the process of hand picking was less and the grain averaged Sow Now Seeds of the following Sowers to Insure perffct plants for Spring: sales; we offer a few of the most Important varieties only.

This was no doubt due to the fact that every grain in the pod fully ripened and matured, even the grains at the extreme end of 'the pod. These improved qualities were no doubt due to the fact that the growths ob- tained the fullest benefit of light and air and through being supported were not injured by excessive rains. As an aid in selecting and improving a strain it is invaluable, as the cultivator is able at a glance to detect and take out any undesirable growths and impurities in the stock. J. B.

This conclusion no doubt applies correctly to the majoity of European varieties of red clover, particularly those from Italy, France, and some parts of Germany, which appear to be altogether unsuited to the soil and climatic condtions of the Q^over-growng area of the United States, says a bulletin of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The term "European clover seed" as used in the United States is a very loose one, applied indiscriminately to all seed imported into this country from European ports. It includes not only seed grown in Europe, but also seed from South America, Canada, and the United States itself, the seed having been exported in DeceAiber 20, 1006.

Inas- much as red clover is grown to a large extent in almost all the countries of Europe and quite careful distinctions are made there between seed from a number of sources, the general designation of "European clover seed" hitherto used in this country appears altogether un- warranted and misleading. The same erroneous classification of" American red clover seed is current in Europe, no dis- tinction being made whether from New York, Tennessee, or Oregon. One of the most frequent complaints made by European growers against American clover seed is on account of the dustiness of the hay produced from this seed. This dustiness is due almost wholly to the hairiness of the plant. There is a great difference in this respect be- tween the hairy domestic and smooth for- eign types, A smooth one is the promis- ing Russian clover from the governnient of Orel. This difference in hairiness is accompanied by other distinctions, the most important of which from an eco- nomic standpoint is the much greater succulence of the smooth plants and the consequently finer quality of the hay, the loss due to coarse, woody, uneatable SOW NEW CROP READY N°o^ JOHNSON'S Giaat^Floweriog Yerbeoa Seed Florists and Professional Gardeners pronounce our strain of Giant-Flowering VERBENAS the finest on the market, the extraordinary size of the flowers, the rich brilliant colors, and the distinctive markings lecommend this superior strain to the most critical growers.

The hairless Orel clover matures prac- tically two weeks later than the domestic strains of medium red clover. This fac- tor is of special importance in sections where corn is the chief crop. There is one drawback in the lateness of maturing of the Orel strain of clover, namely, that it militates against the production of a heavy second crop. However, in south- ern Indiana, in a typical part of the clover section, the Kief and Orel strains gave in the order mentioned the best yields of seed after recleaning. The heavy yield of the first cutting of the hairless clover should .prove indirectly advantageous in wheat-growing sections, especially in the winter-wheat belt, when it is desired to hasten the rotation back to wheat, as the increased product from this cutting would, where feed produc- tion was not a paramount necessity, in a measure justify the immediate or early plowing up of the field preparatory to re- seeding to wheat.

BULBS IN CHANNEL ISLANDS. There has been of late years a grow- ing disposition on the part of British bulb growers to discredit Channel Island bulbs because they are smaller than the Dutch and Fen District bulbs. The Islanders are now remedying this defect (according to English ideas) by sendinjr 368 The Weekly Florists^ Review* December 20, 1906. certain varieties of bulbs, particularly Telemonius pleuus and that class, to Holland to be "blown out." There is no gainsaying the fact that such treat- ment tends to a quicker sale; but as a flower-producing medium the bulbs are certainly less reliable than the smaller but more solid ones. English growers may take it as a reliable fact, that size for size, the Jersey and Guernsey bulbs are heavier than the Dutch; and they are distinctly healthier and have the reputation of being more floriferous. The Dutch bulb merchants know this. The past season witnessed the heaviest sales to the Dutchmen yet known. We have bought largely from them; but much cheaper than they purchased from our growers. It is certain, too, that the Islanders are becoming more enamored of certain varieties, double whites, Golden Spurs, and the better Ornatus and Emperor types. The best forcing varieties are being sought after. The heavily scented and weighty kinds, such as Grand Mon- arque, Soliel d'Or, etc., are steadily declining in favor. Indeed, the situation may be summed up by saying that the Channel Island growers are forcing heavily to come in before the Scilly Isles, and planting outside only the best and most popular sorts. Bazelman minor is clearly gaining in public favor. There is, too, a sharp inquiry for the rarer and most beautiful "glads" and the bulbs of the Nerine Sarniensis (the beautiful Guernsey lily) are being bought up by the nurserymen. — Horticultural Trade Journal. THE EUROPEAN VALLEY TRADE. The German exporters of lily of the valley are about finishing their season of fresh crowns for this year. It must be considered one of the most successful the German export trade has ever had, at least for the largest and best class firms. As regards the increased price of re- tarded crowns of finest quality for 1907 delivery, the old price of 30 or 32 shil- lings is not sufficient to properly retard a really first-class retarding sample, with the result that many of the smaller and less particular firms used for cold stor- age any samples they could get hold of, providing they could be bought cheap. In my experience I think I am not wrong in saying there are quite a dozen or more distinct types of valley samples, and not more than two or three are suitable for cold storage, and yet nine out of ten .growers in England, if asked the question, would tell you there were only two types, the Berlin and Hamburg, and both if strong enough would suc- cessfully cold store. This idea is totally wrong. It requires an expert to pick a proper sample out of the many types and it requires a big capital to buy them in quantity as the retarding samples are usually the finest and most expensive strains and the most carefully and ex- pensively grown. It is noticeable how difficult it is now (. T* get the special samples for very special qVAlity spikes that growers readily ob- tained from Germany years ago. This is due in a great measure to most of the best pips being previously packed out for American growers, they paying a very high price for them, and English buyers have to be content with the ordi- nary first quality. This regrettable state of things will not be remedied until the Englishman consents to pay the higher HIGH-GRADE VALLEY EARLY GIANT FORCING The finest Valley on the market.

The bursting of a boiler caused seri- ous loss to growing stock, especially roses and callas, at the Sunnycrest greenhouses last week. The accident oc- curred at a time when the mercury stood at a point the lowest known hereabouts for many years, and before steam could be generated from a reserve boiler the frost had accomplished its fatal work, resulting in a loss of several thousands of dollars' worth of stock. These dis- heartening conditions do not put enter- prising growers out of business, how- ever, for two large boilers were imme- diately ordered by telegraph; and when this notice appears in print the devas- tated houses will be planted to sweet peas, lettuce and radishes, followed later by a crop of tomatoes. The carnation stock, comprising about 22,000 plants, was uninjured, these houses being heated from another source. Rennie & Thomson have their new and commodious store at 135 and 137 Wash- ington street practically complete, and will carry a large line of seeds, bulbs and florists' supplies. They will be the first among firms in this city to make special efforts for a mail order seed trade. William Hay, who enjoys and justly deserves the title of being our best rose grower, has a magnificent crop for Christmas. He grows Bride, Bridesmaid, Richmond, Golden Gate and Killarney. He has several houses planted to Princess of Wales violets, which also promise a good cut for the holidays. The downtown stores look radiant and attractive with their display of Christ- mas bells and festooning. The crowds upon our streets are indicative of a rec- ord-breaking business this season. G. S. W. Feemont, Mich.— R. L. Chamberlain, on December 6, secured the interest of his partner, Dr. DeHaas, in the green- house and is now sole owner of the plant. Kansas City, Mo.— The Alpha Floral Co. has moved from its old stand at 819 Walnut street to more commodious quarters at 1105 Walnut street. The move was necessitated by the increased volume of business. I AM more than pleased with the Re- view. It is my opinion that the Flo- rists' Review is the best florists' and gardeners' paper ever published in this country and I gladly recommend it to all my friends.— Henry E. Diehl, German- town, Pa. 370 The Weekly Florists' Review* December 20, 1906. NEWPORT, R. I. The anuual meeting of the Newport . Horticultural Society was held Tuesday evening, December 11, in Mercury hall, President MacLellan in the chair. The report of the treasurer shows the finan- cial standing of the society to be good and improved since last year. The finan- cial secretary's report showed the same condition, showing also an increased membership. The recording secretary's report, which was unusually comprehen- sive, reviewed the work of the society during the year, pointing out weak points and suggesting remedies. The following officers were then elected: President, Bruce Butterton; first vice-president, Samuel Speers; second vice-president, James Kobertson; recording secretary, David Mcintosh; financial secretary, Joseph Gibson; treas- urer. Col. A. K. McMahon; sergeant-at- arms, "William F. Smith; executive com- mittee, Alexander MacLellan, Dr. A. J. Anderson, William J. Matson, John T. Allan, James J. Sullivan, Andrew Chris- tensen, Stewart Ritchie, William F. Smith, John N. Gibson and the officers ex officio; auditors, Thomas B. Connally, W. H. Young and W. S. Sisson. The outlook for Christmas is unusu- ally bright. Stock coming in from out- of-town growers looks first-class and worth the slight advance in price asked. Christmas trees are exceedingly scarce, so much so that many retailers are experiencing considerable trouble in pro- curing a supply. Large consignments of plants from big growers arrived early in the week. Max Keilly. NOW IS THE TIME TO BEGIN ! I AM much pleased with the Review and would not do without it. — Perley R.

The California redberry is being used more than ever during the present sea- son by the florists and decorators, and it has become almost indispensable as a substitute where there is a shortage of flowers. They have been used for every possible function, from a wedding bou- quet to a window decoration, and, be- cause of their showy, scarlet berries, dark green foliage and wonderful keeping qualities, they are here to stay. Many thousands of tons are sold in this por- tion of California yearly. Although there are thousands of acres covered with them in various parts of the coun- try, the patches in proximity to the rail- roads are being rapidly depleted, and each succeeding year finds the gatherers going farther inland, makif? ihe ex- pense of gathering and marketing more each successive season. Although the Heteromeles aroutifolia is strictly a native growth and is no- where cultivated in the state, it is one of the best paying propositions that has fallen to the lot of the farmer. The labor of gathering it is slight and little care has to be used in packing, so that it is almost all profit. The price has been advanced about fifty per cent dur- ing the last year, and the retailers, who for the last ten years have been paying from $35 to $40 per ton, have had to stand an advance to $50 and $60. This is in line with everything else in regard to advancement of prices, and the end is not yet. The madrono is also in considerable favor with decorators, and while it is not so easy to handle as the redberry, its glossy leaves, clean brown stems and large scarlet berries make it one of our most attractive native growths. The so-called Oregon grape, Berberis Aquifolium, is used universally here for decorating, and the supply in this state is practically exhausted. We are receiv- ing our largest supplies from Oregon, and many hundreds of crates are han- dled here weekly. Its glossy brown leaves and splendid lasting qualities stand the decorator well in hand, and it is espe- cially favored for holiday trimmings. Our old standby, the wild huckleberry, still stands supreme as an all-round green. The stock of this is also being rapidly depleted, and in a few years it will be only a memory. Forest fires, clearings for homes, cattle ranges and its wholesale destruction by the men who gather it for florists' use have made a big difference in the supply. California still imports almost all the English holly used here. Several patches have been planted foi? the purpose of marketing the branches, but central and southern California are too dry to have much success with a shrub as fond of moisture as is the holly. We get some of our supply from British Columbia and Washington, where the abundance of rain makes an ideal condition for its cultivation. G. WALNXrrS IN OREGON.

A slight falling off in business has manifested itself since making our last report, but this is merely a repetition of our experience of former years and may be termed the calm before the storm. We found time last week to interview a few retailers as to the out- look for Christmas, and surely we have reason to expect a heavy holiday trade, as the greatest preparations are being made for it. We do not prophesy an abundance of any one thing in the cut flower line, as Old Sol has not shown his radiant face except at long inter- vals. But this deficiency we hope to offset by the splendid lot of flowering plants, which when offered for sale will form the grandest display ever seen in Portland. VariotM Notes. A partnership formed between J. B. Pilkington, a prominent nurseryman here, and F. D. Rennison, who has been with the Portland Seed Co. for three years, was announced recently. We are informed that an important feature of the venture will be the installing of a complete line of florists' supplies, which should pay well here.

After spending several weeks in Europe last summer the last named gentleman was surprised to find on his return a railroad running through his nursery, and was obliged to resort to legal measures to have some of the curves taken out of it. Mr. Pilkington expects a satisfactory settlement. Another new partnership of interest to the fraternity was announced Decem- ber 9, at high noon, when Emmeline Street, the charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Street, of Clacka- mas, was married to William Haberlach, a young business man of the same place, in the presence of fifty guests. The house had all the embellishments suited to the occasion, the ceremony being per- formed under a canopy of smilax and Richmond roses, all grown in Papa's greenhouses. The afternoon was devoted to the enjoyment of a bountiful repast and extending congratulations to the young couple. H. J. M. SANFRANOSOO.

The 32d annual convention will be held at De- troit, Mich., June, 1907. The Association of Penuaylvania Nurs- erymen will hold its annual meeting at Harrisburg January 16 and 17. W, H. Moon is president. The apple crop of 190G is estimated as fifty per cent larger than in 1905, totaling over 36,000,000 barrels. All the cold storage houses are full. After many years of service L. R. Bryant, Princeton, 111., declined reelec- tion as secretary of the Illinois State Horticultural Society at its recent meet- ing. Edward Morris, for thirty years head of the firm operating the Fonthill Nur- series, Fonthill, Out., purposes retiring as shortly as he can find a purchaser for his large interests. I. N. Brown, who has had charge of the Atlantic nursery for the last fifteen years, expects to continue in the busi- ness on his own account. As Stark Bros, intend to go out of business in Atlantic, Mr. Brown will remain on the present site. C. G. NiEMAN, manager of the Eose- dale Nurseries, at Fremont, Neb., is pre- paring to establish branch nurseries in Pierre, S. D., and on his land near Hayes in Stanley county. He will ship for spring delivery 200,000 Norway maple trees. Good apple seedlings are scarce, as has previously been reported, but the cry of the growers has been that prices were too low and now that buyers are compelled to accept the higher level it ought to be possible to keep prices on a profitable oasis, even with a larger crop next year. TiGHE & McDonald, of the Montana Nursery Co., Missoula, Mont., are mak- ing preparations to establish a nursery at Billings, They have just purchased 100 acres of land on the big flat near Billings and are making arrangements to erect a warehouse and packing plant. The cost of the plant will be more than $10,000. Western nurseries, most of which have paid little or no attention to orna- mental stock, are getting in line with the demand and it may freely be said that although the supplies are twice what they were a brief while ago, the call for hardy stock for decorative planting is only at its beginning in the greater part of the country. The prospectus for the adoption of uniform state standards of inspection and certification of nursery stock do not brighten at the rate nurserymen had hoped they would. In fact, it looks as though the only hope lies in a national system of inspection and certification of stock in interstate traffic, and this seems to be a long way off. TIMBER PLANTING. It is stated that the Wichita Nursery Co., W. F. Schell, proprietor, Wichita, Kan., recently sold two large orders of trees, one order of 100,000 trees to R. V. Converse, of Cheyenne, Okla., and a second one of 150,000 to Underwood & Viles, of Hutchinson, Kan. These trees, which are mostly for timber, will be planted as an investment and consist principally of Catalpa speciosa and black locust, to be used for railroad ties and posts. The Yaggy plantation at Hutchinson has proven a wonderful success in the hardy catalpa and, in fact, they have already sold enough to pay for the cost of the land three times, with hardly one- half of the plantation exhausted. As the railroad tie proposition increases and the forest supply is diminishing the catalpa growing industry is one of the best in this section of the country. SMITH'S BENEFACTION. It has become known that William Smith, the wealthy nurseryman of Ge- neva, N. Y., head of the W. & T. Smith Co., has made a proposition to the trus- tees of Hobart College whereby that in- stitution will receive from him $500,000. It is stated that the principal condition is that a woman's department shall be established in connection with the insti- tution. The plan is not to convert Ho- bart College into a coeducational insti- tution, but rather make it a college in which the woman's department is to be coordinated with the men's. This means that the men and women will not attend classes together, but will be taught by the same faculty. The classes for the two sexes will be at different hours. Mr. Smith has had the plan in mind for some years and his interest in Ho- bart College is well understood, as are his desires as to the direction of its fu- ture development. Five or six years ago he was reported as being about to en- dow the institution, but there was a halt in the arrangements until the present time. SAN JOSE SCALE. Bulletin No. 62 of the Bureau of Ento- mology, U. S. Department of Agriculture, is entitled ' ' The San Jose or Chinese Scale." The author is C. L. Marlott, acting chief of the bureau, and the ninety pages, freely illustrated, contain the last work on the subject, up to December 5. The whole prolific literature of the sub- ject is here summarized, from origination to the latest legislation on the subject. Eight pages are given to remedies. This is what is said of the fumigation of nur- sery stock: "All nursery stock which is under the least suspicion of contamination with the San Jose scale should be fumigated; and it is perhaps worth while to fumigate in any case to give the utmost assurance of safety to the purchaser. The hydro- cyanic acid gas fumigation is the one to use. The proportions of the chemicals are as follows. Refined potassium cyan- ide (98 per cent), one ounce; commer- cial sulphuric acid, one ounce; water, three fluid ounces — to every 100 cubic feet of space in the fumigating room or house. The latter should be as nearly air-tight as possible and provided with means of ventilation above and at the side, operated from without, so that at the end of the treatment the poisonous gases can be allowed to escape without the necessity of anyone entering the chamber. The generator of the gas may be any glazed earthenware vessel of one or two gallons capacity, and should be placed on the floor of the fumigating room and the water and acid necessary to generate the gas added to it. The cyanide should be added last, preferably in lumps the size of a walnut. Promptly after adding the cyanide the room should be vacated and the door made fast. The treatment should continue forty minutes. It must be borne in mind that the gas is extremely poisonous and must under no circumstances be inhaled. The gas treat- ment is effective against the scale on growing trees in the orchard also; but the difficulty and expense of the treat- ment, except for nursery stock, make it prohibitive in the case of deciduous fruits. ' ' NITRATE OF SODA. Natural nitrate of soda is at present only obtained from the deposits in the northern part of the Republic of Chili in the Provinces of Tarapaca and Atacama. The district is practically a rainless one, from three to five years sometimes pass- ing without rain, and even when it falls it is hardly in sufficient quantities to penetrate the topmost layer of soil. This fact has an important bearing on the possibility of discovering similar accumu- lations elsewhere, as nitrate of soda is especially soluble in water, and deposits of this character could only -continue to exist in a region such as this. The nitrate district is a desolate waste, says the Gardeners ' Magazine. The surface is usually composed of sand and gypsum, beneath which lies a layer of earth and detritus some three feet to twelve feet thick. Beneath this lies the nitrate of soda to a depth of from one foot to twelve feet. The nitrate is obtained by boring through the upper layers, and in- troducing charges of gunpowder. This is filled by means of a slow match, and the explosion enables a considerable area to be reached. It is then loaded into wagons, and conveyed by a light railway to the factory. Here the natural salts are purified by crystallization to produce commercial nitrate of soda containing Boxwood Exhausted, no more to offer until spring: importations arrive. lor delivery ) 3-16 to % inch $10.00 per 1000 January 1 ) >^ to 3-16 inch 7.50 per 1000 MANETTI 10,000 HYDRANGEA P. 6. in cellar.

According to published estimates the consumption was 1,066,220 tons in 1896, 1,338,890 tons in 1900, and 1,543,120 tons in 1905. Since 1896 there has been a steady appre- ciation in values. A BURBANK STORY. Many things recently have been cred- ited to Luther Burbank; "if you don't want to stand for it yourself, lay it to Burbank; he won't deny it." Here is the latest, from an exchange: Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, showed last month to the students of Stanford university an apple that was sweet on one side and sour on the other. ''This apple shows us," Mr. Burbank said, "how different treatments will have different effects. It shows how en- vironment causes the most radical changes. ' ' He smiled. "As in apples, so in men," he said. "There used to live in Santa Eosa a good, kind man, but unfortunately he married a shrewish wife and the woman changed his nature. "One morning after his wife had called him a good-for-nothing loafer and snatched his breakfast away he started off, hungry and sore, for work. "A sour-looking woman entered the car he was on. She got into a violent dispute with the conductor over her change. Finally, red with rage, she looked about her and said: " 'Is there a gentleman in this car who will stand by and 'see a lady in- sulted?' "The hungry man whose nature had been spoiled rose eagerly. " 'Yes, madam,' he said, 'I will.' " DnCiFCL On Own Roots M^\j^ K^^ 2 years. CrlniOB Bamhlers, extra strong:, at $7.00 per 100.

The Market. We are experiencing disagreeable weather for this time of the year and the outlook for cut flowers for s^iiristmas is not encouraging. However, business last week was rushing. Of late many notable people have passed away and a great amount of design work was called for. Funeral work holds its own, while a few weddings, dinners, receptions and other social occasions cleaned up prac- tically everything. Boses are getting short and prices higher. Carnations are selling too fast and the supply is much shorter. They are selling at $4 to $6 per hundred and it is feared there will be a strong ad- vance by next week. Violets are climbing up and double violets are almost out of commission. Some good large mums are still to be had. A large supply of Paper "Whites is ready for the Christmas rush. White Eoman hyacinths are in time, while callas are scarce. Harrisii and longi- florum lilies are not plentiful. Mignon- ette and sweet peas are on the market. Christmas greens are plentiful and in steady demand. Various Notes. Harry Ekas has completed a 100-foot sash house for storing his rose bushes. F. Seidlich has secured his stall again for the holidays. John McCormick is cutting some fine carnations and sending in some extra Harrisii lilies. The Baltimore Florists ' Exchange is having a heavy run on cut flowers and is unable to meet the demand. The bulb representatives were in town last week taking orders for next year, and report trade fair. G. H. Siddons has two large windows tastefully decorated with Christmas sup- plies and will also have a stall in the market. A large amount of various sizes of plants will be used in many Christmas gardens. John K. Donn is doing a rushing busi- ness in decorative plants. Some of our florists will not set prices on flowers iiow to be delivered after Christmas. J. L. T. Medicine Hat, ^Ian. — L. H. Shepley, of Winnipeg, a financial agent, spent last week in Medicine Hat in the inter- ests of Winnipeg parties who contem- plate investing $50,000 in a greenhouse plant for the cultivation of roses and carnations for the Winnipeg and west- ern market. The stock is now brought from eastern Canada and ^Minneapolis. The cheap gas for fuel has brought Medicine Hat to their attention and it is looked upon as a favorable place for such a business.

At an iinportaut meeting of the Blooniington Florists ' Club December '13 preliminary steps were taken towards arranging for the meeting of the Illinois State Florists' Association to be held in this citv on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 19 and 20, 1907. J. F. Am- mann, of Edwardsville, president of the state association, was present and deliv- ered an address upon ' ' Organization. ' ' After the address by Mr. Ammann the routine business of the local club, which has a membership of twenty-five florists in Bloomington and Normal, was trans- acted and the following committee on exhibition appointed: George Washburn, Fred Eoe and W, T. Hempstead. A flower show is to be one of the prin- cipal features of the meeting of the state association here next February. The location of the show as well as the place of holding the business sessions have not yet been decided upon. The program is now being prepared and will be ready for publication within a comparatively short time. SHIOCTON, WIS. An interesting experiment on a large scale is being undertaken at Shiocton, Wis. A syndicate, under the name of the Shiocton Garden Land Co., has pur- chased a tract of land embracing about 3,500 acres. The whole tract will be used for truck farming. Already $150,- 000 has been spent in the purchase and drainage of the land. Eight miles of ditch have already been dug, two dredges excavating 200 feet or more a day. The tract of land is four miles long and a railroad runs through it. It has not been decided as yet whether the big garden will be worked in shares or whether the land will be opened to farmers generally, who would in that case dispose of the produce as their own prop- erty. The whole scheme is in the nature of an experiment, part of the land being fertilized and part left in the natural state. Matthew Crawford, of Cuyahoga Falls, 0., will have charge of the work. He has had years of experience in gar- dening on a large scale. Mr. Crawford will also grow gladiolus bulbs extensively for market. West Grove, Pa. — J. M. Cooper has sold his range, with stock, to Daniel H. Green and Thomas W. Baylis. The entire place was devoted to growing chrysanthemums. The new firm of Green & Baylis will propagate chrysanthemum young stock, and they expect to have a large stock of rooted cuttings in sea- son.

As a supplement to my article of No- vember 15 on lily of the valley I would like to add some further remarks in the way, to some extent, of a correction to my statements in reference to black peat grown samples. It may not be generally known that there is heavy, wet peat and also dry, sandy peat. Samples of valley pips grown on the two distinct soils are somewhat different in their nature and require different treatment. After a dry season, like the present, it might have been supposed that these peat samples would do for late forcing. This is proving fairly correct with the samples grown on sandy peat and these same samples also can be used for early forcing, and in fact for forcing from December to April to a certain extent, but in all peat samples it is necessary to continually examine the crown while being heeled in in the open ground, as the following remarks will show. Previous to this year it has been my experience that after a dry season peat samples were suitable for late forcing. But several samples which have lately come under ray notice, in bulk quanti- ties, are already showing signs that they will not keep until the time for late forcing, but must be forced at once; as after they are heeled in in the open ground they are found on examination to be losing all their roots through rot, caused by excessive moisture in the roots. The one great trouble with these peat samples is excessive moisture in the roots and pips. This causes them in wet years to rot while being stored, awaiting use. It also causes them to badly rot when being forced if they have the slightest oversupply of water. Also when retarded they are liable to more or less rot or mould, this causing the base of the crown to part from the junction of the roots and the roots them- selves to get soft. Judging by the samples I have already tested this year, it is not safe to rely upon even such a dry season as last to reduce the moisture and otherwise pro- duce a normal crown from black, heavy peat. Any grower having a bulk of peat samples on hand will do well to fre- quently examine them and see that rot and mildew has not set in, whether stored by heeling in in open ground, as is a general practice in England, or whether stored in moss or in the cold storage rooms. H. Amburger. MIGNONETTE. Since we hear so little about mignon- ette, are we to infer that it is not a profitable flower to grow for the whole- sale market? If it is profitable, why do not more growers grow it? Are there any conditions which make it especially hard to grow? How many good spikes per plant can reasonably be expected for the season extending from November to May? W. K. "We were not aware that so little was said about this humble, sweet flower. We have a neighbor who grows the south bench of a 125-foot bouse every winter and we are quite sure that he would not persist in growing it if*" he had any doubt of its being profitable. We have never kept an accurate account of what it returned per square foot of bench room. We consider it quite as profitable as carnations if well grown, with this difference, that you can always sell good carnations while the market for mignon- ette can be overdone. W. S. PROPAGATING DAHLIAS. I would like to know if it would be practical to start dahlias for cuttings on the ground just under the edge of the benches? We have several seedlings and choice varieties that we wish to increase by cuttings as much as possible, and want to know if they will do well under the bench rather than on the bench. N. H. G. Yes, it would be possible to start dahlias growing on the edge of the path, beneath the bench, but we would consider it a poor place, as the growth made would be sure to be weak and spindling. It will pay you, whether in a large or small way, to give your dahlias proper surroundings. If you are so short of a few feet of benchroom, then you are at- tempting to grow more than you have room for and something will be sure to be neglected. You need not begin to grow your dahlias for cutting before February 1, and surely by that time you will have room for them on the bench in the light, the only place for them. W.S. December 20, 1906.

The Tri-City Florists' Association met at tiie greenhouse of Harry Bills, on North Brown street, December 13, and an interesting session was held, there being a large attendance. The advisa- bility of organizing a horticultural soci- ety in the tri-cities was discussed, and it was the opinion of the members that such a society would be a good thing. The society would consist of laymen or parties not engaged in the profession. The Horticultural Society of Chicago gives the big flower show there every year, in charge of the florists of the city. The questions which were up for gen- eral discussion at the meeting were * ' Roses and their propagation ' ' and "Which are the most profitable bulbs, and their culture." It was also decided to adopt a question box, in which any one, not only members, but laymen as •well, may drop in any question relating to floriculture which may come to their notice. The program committee reported and gave the outline of the program for every month of the ensuing year. The topics which will be taken up during 1907 are as follows: January — "What are the most profitable plants to grow for Kaster trade?" February — "The maklnj; and care of hotbeds. Does It pay to make hotbeds? What are the best plants to grow In hotbeds?" March — "How is the best way to beautify cities, their lots, boulevards and public places?" April — "What are the mo«t profitable plants to grow for spring trade?" May — "Peony culture — What are the best kinds to grow for cut flowers? Does it pay to grow perennials for cut flowers?" June — "Rose culture — What are the best varieties to grow for the summer months, for the winter months? Does It pay to grow roses out-of-dooors?" July — "Greenhouse construction — Best mate- rial for benches. Which is better for heating, steam or hot water?" August — "Carnation culture — Wliat are the best varieties to grow? Does it pay to grow carnations for out-of-door or siimmer blooming?" September — "What are the best plants to grow for Christmas?" October — 'Ornamental tree and shrub culture — Best trees and shrubs for private grounds- Does It pay to grow hardy roses?" November — "Chrysanthemum culture — What are the best varieties for commercial use, for pot plants and for cut flowers?" December — "Heating greenhouses — What Is the best and cheapest fuel? How is the best way to decorate show windows?" Colorado Springs, Colo. — Wm. Henry Evans, of the Pike's Peak Floral Co., says business is excellent and that they find themselves cleaned up every night. They now have 85,000 square feet of glass, all in cut flowers for wholesale.

I keep a night temperature 50 to 52 degrees. They are heated with hot water. There are two flows in each house, along the purlins. One 3% -inch pipe supplies six 2-inch pipes under the outside benches and one 3-inch flow sup- plying four 2-inch pipes under the in- side benches. The outlet from each house is separate into the boiler in 5-inch pipe. I had a special boiler made to order that has proved itself beyond my expectations. In the winter of 1905-6 I used thirty-one tons of coal at $1.90 and ten cords of 3-foot wood worth about $2.50 per cord. This I thought very reasonable. The circulation is perfect. Last winter in moderate weather, that is, not windy an(f outside temperature 20 degrees or so above zero, I would leave the boiler nine hours with a variation of but 3 degrees. Ten days ago I was called to Cleve- land overnight. The outside tempera- ture was 46 degrees at 2:40 p. m., when I left the boiler, with a gradually sink- ing mercury. There being no men about, I left instructions that the boiler should not be touched until next morning. My wife, on my return next evening, re- ported that at 7 p. m. it became quite windy and by 9:30 was freezing, with stormy outlook. "When she awoke at 6 a. m. the outside temperature was 26 degrees and the greenhouses were 47 de- grees. I think this is a record for fif- teen hours and twenty minutes without attention. I would like to hear from anyone who can beat it. S. C. Templin. VENT PIPE FREEZING. I have been having trouble with my vent pipe freezing up a time or two, and wish to know how to overcome it. I have a 2^ -inch flow pipe with the vent on the highest point. The vent is 1-inch pipe and extends through the roof, but I have it boxed around so it looks as if it should not freeze. S. E. L. I know of no better way of insuring the vent pipe in question against freezing than to cover it with an asbestos jacket. Such pipe covering can be purchased ready prepared for any size of pipe. This would only require adjusting to the pipe. My plan of meeting this difficulty would be to dispense with the vent pipe altogether, place an airvalve in the sys- tem at this point and connect an expan- sion tank to the main return near the boiler and elevate this several feet, ten or more, above the highest point in the system. This will give you a pressure system which will provide a quicker cir- culation and a greater heat, thus mak- ing the system more efficient. L. C. C. ELEVATE EXPANSION TANK. I have a No. 3 Kroeschell hot water boiler with overhead flows and under bench returns, the highest point being farthest from the boiler, and an open tank. How high can I place the expan- sion tank above the highest point? The boiler is just the ordinary kind, not built for high pressure.

Is the expansion pipe in the right place and is the size of pipe all right! The boiler heats about 8,000 square feet of glass. At present the tank is only about five feet above the highest point and is en- closed on top of the shed over the boiler. F. W. H. The boiler you have will easily stand fifteen or twenty pounds pressure. In order to make fifteen pounds pressure on the boiler it would be necessary to have the expansion tank raised thirty-three feet. This is probably not practicable, but you can undoubtedly elevate it ten or twelve feet higher without great in- convenience or expense. This will help to maintain a considerably higher heat on the system. While I do not think the point at which the expansion tank pipe is taken ofif the ideal one, yet I NOTICE To all American Nurserymen and Seedsmen desiring to keep in touch with commercial horti- culture in P^ngland and the Continent of Europe.

The ideal place is on the main return within eight or ten inches of the boiler. The size of the pipe is greater than is necessary. A %-inch pipe would be large enough, although the greater size is no disadvantage. The incline in the pipe makes no difference. The per- pendicular height is the all-important point and it makes no difference whether the tank is directly over the boiler or at one side as you have it. L. C. C. ToPEKA, Kan. — Mrs. J. E.

NEW ORLEANS. Current Comment The first annual convention of the Society of Southern Florists and Orna- mental Horticulturists will take place in New Orleans February 13 to 15, 1907, or the days following Mardi Gras. The different committees appointed are at work doing their best to have every detail in a proper shape. As we have noted previously, it will be conducted as other conventions, with an exhibition of plants, flowers and requisites. It will certainly accomplish the same good results that northern conventions accom- plish and no doubt the opening meeting will be largely attended. Louis Sieber, secretary of the Metairie Eidge Nursery Co., Ltd., has accepted a position of manager of a large establish- ment at Ponchatoula, La., on the I. C. R. R. The place is owned by Chicago parties and consists of four green- houses, 200 feet long, just erected, with latest improvements and heated by a Kroeschell boiler. It is entirely devoted to cucumbers to be forced and shipped north.

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 em- ploys an expert to detect cypress defects.

If they have been protected by a covering of litter and shutters or sash, to keep out severe frost, the lilies are as well out in a frame as indoors, because they have been making roots and will be in right condition to endure a good strong heat from New Year's on to Easter. Give them a week or ten days in a night temperature of 50 degrees. After that raise the temperature 10 degrees and never let it drop, even for a few hours. The last four weeks before Eas- ter you can do the most effectual forcing. A drop of a few degrees in temperature will stunt a lily more than any plant I know of, so once you raise to 60 degrees at night and 70 degrees in daytime keep it steadily at that. Tulips. Tulips can now be brought in for ear- liest cutting. La Eeine, Vermilion Bril- liant, Yellow Prince, Cottage Maid and Proserpine will all flower satisfactorily from now on. I have had occasion to mention recently the conditions best suited to flower them. It is simply a top heat of 80 degrees to 85 degrees, a spraying and watering daily and a heavy shade a foot or so above the flats to draw up the stems. "Without this shade the flowers will open close to the surface of the flats and be useless. What is known as bottom heat, or heat at the roots'' is not at all necessary with tulips, but they must have a strong heat around their leaves and flower buds or the growth will be stunted and the flower abortive. Few of us have a house especially constructed for this, but it will take only a little ingenuity to contrive some means of em- ploying the heat of the pipes beneath the bench on the growth of the tulips. Nor is the shading hard to manage. Lily of the Valley. Last fall's importation of lily of the valley will force readily from now on. This little flower requires quite different treatment from tulips and narcissi. The latter should have an abundance of roots, and the roots require only the heat of the house, while a greater heat is needed to develop the foliage and flower. The valley makes scarcely any roots while being forced, yet they need a high tem- perature at the roots to induce them to ■develop their foliage and flower, and the top heat need be only the temperature of the house. The sand in which the roots of valley are inserted should be 85 ■degrees and the top heat may be 60 de- grees. This is for the first month or two. As the time of natural flowering approaches less bottom heat is required, but the top heat never should be over 60 li IS I'l'dln I.'' ■• 1! I - I '■'.. K'liii,' I I u .J. \. .1 ..

They say that inquiry is be- ginning earlier than usual and that buy- ers are asking for prices on larger av- erage lots than is usually the case. In- cidentally it is noteworthy that they are figuring on a number of big lots for large growers for the Chicago market. Mr. LeVaque says that greenhouse own- ers do not understand the difficulty which attends procuring supplies of greenhouse sizes. The florist does not appreciate that the glass-blowers are paid higher wages for making the larger sizes of glass and that, therefore, there is a natural disinclination on the part of the workmen to cut the greenhouse sizes. The significance of this lies in the fact that there are more glass factories than there are glass-blowers to operate them and naturally the employer must keep his men at work on the sizes that pay the workmen best or see them desert his fac- tory for one where they can get em- ployment on the sizes that bring the workers the most money. Another point is that the recent or- ganization of glass manufacturers pur- poses to end the season's fire not later A SUCCESSFUL CAREER. John Eblen, * ' Honest John, ' ' of New Orleans, has an interesting history, and one that points a moral, though it may not adorn a tale. He was born in Wurtemberg, Ger- many, in 1843, and has been engaged in horticulture since leaving school at tue age of 18 years. He began with his uncle at Stuttgart, going from there to the royal gardens at Kennstadt. Wlien 23 years old he went to Paris, where he was employed in the government gar- dens which supply plants and flowers for public places. From that position he went to work for the estate of the late Baron Eothschild, in which position he continued until the war between France and Germany in 1871, when the unpleas- ant conditions prompted him to come to the United States. He selected New Or- leans as his location, and soon began bus- iness for himself. In 1876 he established Mount Ararat Nursery, in the vicinity of Audubon park. His knowledge of the business, coupled with his industry and integrity, made him successful from the start. When the New Orleans Hortieul- John Eblen. than May 15, which is fully six weeks earlier than usual. There appears little likelihood of any considerable accumu- lation of greenhouse sizes before that date and it is quite possible that next autumn will see the market bare of greenhouse sizes. Little glass is now being imported be- cause the Belgian glass-makers have re- cently come to a good working agree- ment and it is not possible to buy there and pay duty, transportation, etc., and compete with the present domestic prices. Lexington, Mo. — Mrs. J. P. Coen has sold her residence and greenhouse to D. W. Trine, of Dooley, Va., who took pos- session December 12, The new owner comes highly recommended. tural Society was formed in 1884, Mr. Eblen was elected treasurer, which posi- tion he has held ever since. This alone is indicative of the high esteem in which he is held by his brethren in the craft. As a grower Mr. Eblen is successful with all plants, and especially with the delicate ones. He is now making a spe- cialty of adiantum. By careful invest- ments and shrewd business tact he is now in excellent financial circumstances, and can retire from business at any time, with the knowledge that he has been successful in the best sense of the word. His domestic relations have al- ways been congenial, and his large fam- ily of children, now grown up, and some of them well established, have reason to be proud of their father's achievements. NEW SWEET PEAS. Progeny of Gladys Unwin. The advent of the Countess Spencer type of sweet pea marked the greatest advance made in many years of fairly rapid progress with this popular flower, but it remained for an English amateur gardener to "fix" these new jquali- ties in the variety which has gone around the world as Gladys Unwin. From Gladys Unwin have come several new colors, the varieties said to have all the characteristics of the parent and as unchangeable as in that variety. Four of these have been grown in sufficient quantity that they soon will be claiming the attention of American sweet pea fanciers. They each produce seventy to seventy-five per cent, four blooms to the stalk. These new varieties, which are shown in the colored plate sent out as a supple- ment with this issue of the Keview may be 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 pink color as the old Princess Beatrice, which was thought so much of when it came out many years ago; but the flow- ers 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 Hamilton but much lai^er, 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 stand- ard of its parent. It is somewhat lighter than John Ingman, but with rather more salmon shading in the standard, and has a lovely effect. SWEET PEAS. I grow a great many sweet peas and have had the best of success with them. I have never shipped to the New York market, but mean to try this year. Can you give me a little advice on this sub- ject? Will it be best to bunch them fifty in a bunch, or 100? They are picked here in the morning, placed in water un- til packed, shipped at 8 in the evening and will reach New York early in the morning, about 8 a. m. Will it be ad- visable to wrap each bunch in wax paper, or would they be less liable to heat if not wrapped? Would you advise ship- ping to a wholesaler or a retailer? We expect to pick about 10,000 stems per day. Last year I began picking June 20 and picked continuously until October 7. Would any other fertilizer besides stable manure and wood ashes be advisable for use? Mrs. Louis J. Bates. Watkins, N. Y. We should recommend by all means shipping to a wholesale commission flo- rist. Pick out one among the advertisers in the Review and write to him about picking, bunching, packing and shipping. He also will tell you what colors or vari- eties he can use to best advantage. — Ed. ./ X a: < 4U The Weekly Florists' Review* December 27, 1006. night temperature of 55 to 60 degrees. Charles X is purple in color, but forces rapidly. Marie Legraye, pure white, is the most useful to the florist and of double varieties, Madame LemOine is fine. I must add a word about this forcing process. We all can realize that the fur- ther we are in advance of the natural time of flowering the greater must be the heat and more time must be allowed. The nearer we approach the time of flowering the less forcing it requires. Easter is early this year, and these facts must be considered. We have forced out lilac for New Year's in a high temperature, but two months later much less heat is nec- essary and the flower is far better. We have heard good gardeners say they could force out astilbe roots to flower in four weeks. That is true in the month of May, but in March it is different. Bet- ter allow, this year, tea weeks for your astilbe. W. S. stem can be in a fit state to make a suc- cessful plant and form roots in the same period of time. The consequences will be that the rooting stage will be very uneven. A cutting with three or four eyes is preferable to a one-eyed cutting as they make a more thrifty plant and do not make such a soft, rank growth, but form a bush quicker when benched. Kibes. POOR SOIL. PROPAGATING BEAUTIES. The methods of propagating American Beauties, particularly in the selection of propagating wood is somewhat different from that employed where teas or their hybrids are concerned and many of the failures attending the propagation of this rose arise from the fact that ihey are treated much in the same manner as Brides, Eichmonds, etc. In nearly all houses devoted to Beauties there will be found a percentage of plants which while being very vigorous in growth, with a wealth of foliage, persistently refuse to make buds during the winter season and seem, in spite of all treatment, to devote their entire vitality to making wood. As a cutting is by no means a new plant, such as we get from a seed, but simply a perpetuation of part of a branch of the old plant, we ought to be careful in selecting the wood so as not to perpetuate any branch having any disease, weakness or other undesirable characteristics. Those plants which have refused to make buds will of course have a larger supply of wood than those which have done their part in bearing blooms, and consequently present a larger har- vest of cutting wood which, producing no revenue, invites the propagator to use it in preference to denuding the plants which show an inclination to produce buds. Plants which have a good habit and have proved themselves free bloomers should always be selected as these char- acters will undoubtedly under careful cul- tivation be maintaineil and possibly ac- centuated in the young stock if this sys- tem of selection is followed year after year. CJlose jointed, well ripened wood from this class of stock will produce stock of a more uniform size and habit and the productiveness will be increased percept- ibly if this system is persistently fol- lowed. This statement is deduced from actual experiment and supported by rec- ords during a long period of successful Beauty growing. By confining our selection of wood to short-jointed growths we are enabled to get cuttings of a like condition of ripe- ness which insures a more uniform root formation than if long stems be used for cutting wood as it stands to reason that only a limited number of eyes on such a I am sending a rose plant from a bench that was planted in June, in soil piled up over winter, then mixed with one-fifth its bulk of rotted manure, mostly horse manure. The plants were good plants out of 4-inch pots, and at first seemed to be doing finely, but early in the fall commenced to go back, until now they are mostly in the condi- tion you see. They have had good atten- tion, plenty of ventilation, night tem- perature of 58 to 60 degrees. In the same house is a bench planted in dif- ferent soil, soil procured in the spring and manured as the other and used at once, all sod soil from old pasture. It is doing well.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 4i5 Establishment of Joseph Haubet Charleroi, Pa« I am forced to the conclusion that tliey are simply suffering from want of proper food. The soil is of a poor quality and not at all suited for roses. The best and surest remedy would be to give frequent and light mulches of decomposed cow manure, and I have found it beneficial under such conditions to give a generous sprinkling of bone meal to the bench before applying the mulch. Until the plants begin to show some vigor great care must be exercised in watering as evaporation is slow at this season and the plants being weak cannot use much water. One of the plants is also affected with anthracnose, doubtless brought on and encouraged by their weak condition. This disease is liable to spread and affect the healthy and stronger plants if not checked. Cut off and burn all decaying shoots a few inches below the point affected. Give plenty of ventilation whenever pos- sible and spray once a week with the copper solution (cupram) using a noz- zle that makes a very fine spray. The insects in the soil are the larvae of thrips and are a sure indication that the perfect insect is in the house and at work. Light fumigation will hold them in check if practiced persistently twice a week. To make the fumes more effective some growers sprinkle red pepper on the stems with good results. Kibes. THE TRADE IN MISSISSIPPI. Among the progressive florists are the Miases Lucy E. and Sue M. Cabaniss, of Jackson, Miss. They started in the flower business absolutely without capital, and now have a nice trade, with a green- house in the outskirts of town for grow- ing ferns and other plants, but they still look to Chicago for the cut flowers used at their flourishing stand in the city. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of their booth at the recent successful Mississippi Industrial Expo- sition, The young man in the picture is Lindsey P. Cabaniss, who has charge of the cut flower department. The Misses Cabaniss say that, while the florist busi- ness in Mississippi has not attained the proportions it has in northern, and par- ticularly eastern, cities, still the people of Jackson are fully alive to the beauty and desirability of both flowers and plants and lend every encouragement possible to those in the trade. NOTES FROM ENGLAND. A grand thing in the way of ferns is being placed on the market this fall by Messrs. T, Rochford & Sons, Ltd,, of Broxbourne, Herts, called Nephrolepis Todeaoides. It is said to be one of the most beautiful ferns ever put into com- merce, even surpassing that beautiful variety, Todea superba. It has received favorable press notice and has obtained several certificates and awards. The following is the raiser's description: ' ' This is undoubtedly the most beautiful, as well as the most distinct, of all known forms of nephrolepis and seems to mark the limit of the process of evolution in that genus, which has lately given us many handsome forms, all of which fall ^ short in beauty of the present variety. The fronds are three feet long and twelve inches broad in their widest part, and are distinctly tripinnate, with the second leaflets twisting a little from the surface of the frond. The third leaflets are of a distinctly curly nature and give the massive fronds a singularly light and airy appearance, the general aspect being like a well-curled ostrich feather of a pleasing green color, ' ' The variety will doubtless become a general and popular market sort, a great feature being the furnishing of the small plants, which, when only in 2-inch or 3-inch pots, carry several large moss- like fronds. The same firm is also offering a new begonia called Masterpiece, which is de- scribed as a new and improved form of Gloire de Lorraine. The habit of growth and color of bloom, etc., being a glori- fied type of the latter variety. Some im- provement has for some time been needed in the stocks of Gloire de Lorraine, The type in some instance lacking the good qualities to which it owed its fame and value in commerce at the time of its in- troduction. Any improvement, or even keeping the variety to its true character is much to be desired. The Winter Flowering Carnation So- ciety held its first show on December 4, which was a great success. With Im- proved White Lawson A. F. Dutton, Iver, Bucks, secured first prize for the best white. The same grower had the best pink in Mrs. T. W. Lawson, Enchan- tress took the premium for blush pink, Robert Craig was undoubtedly a fine scarlet, but not equal to the new Brit- tania, which was the best of that color in the show.

I wish to raise asters for market next summer and would like to know the three best classes to grow, also what fertilizers other than stable manure and wood ashes it would be advisable to use, my soil being clay loam. Where can I get a good work or treat- ise on raising asters for market? Also what size box would it be advisable to use for shipping? Would 12x16 and three feet long be large enough to heat. L. J. B. If you are going in for asters as ex- tensively as you say you will doubtless try many varieties in the course of a few years.

Broadly then, I would say grow a small propor- tion of the early market varieties. The Boston Market is a good one. For a suc- ceeding variety grow the Peony Perfec- tion and for a late crop be sure to grow Semple's Branching, or Vick's, which is similar. I must also advise you to try some of the Comet variety, which is distinct and by specialists has been brought to great perfection. The writer remembers when in this country we thought we could not get aster seed unless it was imported in packets from Germany or the south of France. That was a fallacy, for our summer climate is as good as theirs for saving seed and all you have to do is to select the finest flowers from plants of the best habit and let them go to seed. Select your fine flowers and tie a United States flag on them and you will soon have aster seed of your own saving. You will not need any other fertilizer besides stable manure for several years and lucky you are if you can get plenty of that. I would advise you to plow your ground in the fall and when it is in a condition to be friable in the spring, harrow or cultivate it. As it is too late for that now, be content with plowing some fine day next April. Do not make your aster fields beyond reach of the hose, for asters suffer terribly in a dry time, which often occurs in August. By no means put more than twenty- five in a bunch, each bunch wrapped in tissue paper, and there will be no danger of their heating. W. S. FLORISTS AND EXPRESS RATES ••TITrTTTCTTTCl I I ITTTTTTTrrirrTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTT Complaint is Frequent. There is much complaint against trans- portation companies just now and we often hear it asserted that express rjites are constantly being raised. They may have been raised on cut flowers, in cer- tain cases, but on plants they have actu- ally been decreasing. The express rates on plants, bulbs and seeds are of two classes. One is known as section D, the other as ' ' general special, ' ' We should make money for ourselves by studying them. To Compete With Mail. Section D matter must be sent prepaid, the rate being the same as third-class mail matter, except that the minimum charge is 10 cents for each company car- rying. These rates also apply to Can- ada, whereas the mail rate is double, viz., 1 cent an ounce. These rates can be applied to all shipments, no matter what the weight, but 2 cents is deducted from each package when the weight is fifty ounces or more, and no charge for a package weighing less than fifty ounces to be more than the charge for fifty ounces. For example, on three pounds two ounces, or fifty ounces, the charge is 23 cents. Four pounds ten ounces can be sent to any place in either the United States or Canada where any of the ex- press companies belonging to the traffic committee are represented for 35 cents, and 35 cents is the minimum charge on general specials. Shipments above four pounds ten ounces will be sent under the general special class unless the special rate is more than $8 per hundred, when section D rate will again be used. The express company will always give you the benefit of the lowest rate. But I will state here that it is well to check up the receipted bill, which should show the weight of the shipments, and if low- est rate has not been applied it may eas- ily be detected. These overcharges are not done intentionally, but are due to a A synopsis of a paper by Leman Bradford, serretary of the Springfield Floral Co., read at the November meeting of the Springfield Flo- rists' Club. Previous to embarking In the greenhouse busi- ness Mr. Bradford served for a number of years as agent for the Wells-Fargo Express Co. at Springfield, O. lack of knowledge of the rate on the part of the bill clerk. I have found by expe- rience that this was one of the hardest problems to get into a new bill clerk's head. General Special. The general special rate is defined in the express tariffs as a certain per cent or rate less than the regular merchandise rate, at pound rates, no charge less than 35 cents for each company carrying. For The small Gladiolus advertisement we had in the not only brought inquiries from all parts of this country but from Europe as weU. The REVIEW is the paper to advertise in. It seems to go everywhere. S. HUTH Cuyahoga Falls, O. Dec. 22, 1906. a number of years twenty per cent off has been this rate, but within the last year a better rate has been given to the following states: Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas^ Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wis- consin, and South Dakota points east of the Missouri river. This scale begins at the 90-cent merchandise rate, going to the $8 merchandise rate, which will cover the rate from Springfield to any point in the states named. If the merchandise rate ia $1 per hun- dred pounds the general special rate is 80 cents, or just twenty per cent dis- count. When merchandise rates are higher the general special plant rate is as follows: Mdse. rate. Gen Special. Discount. $2.00 $1.50 25% 3.00 2.25 25% 4.00 2.90 27%% 5.00 3.40 32% 6.00 4.00 33 1/3% 7.00 4.76 32%% 8.00 B.BO 31%% Pound Rates. The special rate to all other states is twenty per cent less than the merchan- dise rates except when goods are shipped " in baskets, when regular merchandise rates apply, but they are taken at pound rates. Pound rates means, the charge per pound is in cents what the charge per one hundred is in dollars. For ex- ample: If the merchandise rate to a point in Texas is $6 the special is $4, or 4 cents a pound. Then the charge on a twenty-pound package would be 80 cents, but if shipped in baskets it would be 6 cents a pound, making a charge of $1.20, yet the charges on a package of merchan- dise not eligible to the general special would be $1.65. So it will be seen that the florists are treated much better than the other shippers, except publishers, fruit and produce dealers, and shippers of beer and whisky. I could never un- derstand why the express companies low- ered the florists to a level with these four shippers, or put them on a par with the florists. Rates to California. Another thing that is not generally known is that California has 350 points with a special rate of $7 and $7.50. a large majority being $7. This is a bet- ter rate than is given by Uncle Sam. The balance of the points in the state cannot be more than $8, which is the same rate offered by mail, with enough left on each package of fifty ounces or more to pay the expense of sending a postal notice of shipment. Overcharges. As I stated before, section D must be prepaid, but general specials may be sent collect, so that the customer gets the advantage of this rate also; but the trouble is that in many cases the agent at destination, through ignorance, over- charges the consignee. If a bill is made with either less or more charges than should be, it is the duty of the agent at destination to make correction on the bill, collecting the correct amount. Very few overcharges are made at the larger points, but at the small towns the railroad agent acts for the express com- pany, and in most cases on a commis- sion. These are the ones who do not keep posted on the rates. True, they have the tariffs, but as a rule they do not study them as they should, and, un- less a great deal of matter under gen- eral specials is shipped from their office, they know very little of the special rates. We will take for example a ease using the same rate as I have shown: One of these agents receives a package weighing twenty jlounds, billed at 80 cents. This app.ears to him to be a small charge, especially if he is a commission agent. He refers to his tariff, finds the merchandise rates per one hundred pounds to be $6 and his Decembek 27, 190G. The Weekly Florists' Review* 4J7 graduated card tells him the charges on twenty pounds at this rate is $1.65. He doesn't look to see that the special rate is $4 and that the charge of 80 cents is correct, but adds 85 cents to the bill, collecting $1.65 from consignee. Is it any wonder that people become discour- aged and do not care to repeat the oper- ation? How many people do you imag- ine have quit sending away for their plants just for this reason. You hear of a few, but the majority simply drop out. It is not the fault of the express company, but the ignorance of some em- ployee, and prepaying the shipments will be a protection against this, to both yourself and customer. Small Packages. I have found that to send small pack- ages by express is satisfactory in many ways. You have the means of tracing your shipments and knowing the condi- tion in which they were received. Few complaints are received as to boxes being broken or plants crushed, but in cases where this occurs, claims can be made for them, and replaces sent free where goods have been damaged in transit. The express companies have met the postal rates on plants, and have gone them one better. If a parcels post is adopted giving us a lower rate than the third-class rate, no doubt the express companies will meet that rate, but, if the parcels post raises the rate on plants, the express companies will without a doubt raise their rates to the one adopted by Uncle Sam. With com- panies giving us as good rates as are in existence, we should encourage them by giving them more of our busi- ness— business we are now sending by mail, and for which we are paying more than if sent by express. Use of Baskets. I am not in the employ of any express company, nor am I fortunate enough to own a block of stock in any of them, but if you will take the pains to familiarize yourselves with their rates, only to those applying to your business, I am certain you will not think them the demons they are pictured. Either ignorance of the rates or negligence on the part of the shippers in packing is often the cause for excessive charges collected on plant shipments. My attention was lately called to a case of a shipment, that, had the packer been familiar with the rates, would have saved the customer $1.05. The shipment consisted of two packages weighing twenty pounds each. One was a box, the other a basket. These two packages could not be sent under the same rate, yet they were consigned to the same person. The charge on the basket was $2.45, on the box $1.40. Had it been packed in one box weighing forty pounds, or in two boxes weighing twenty pounds each, the charges would have been $2.80 instead of $3.85. Will the customer unuerstand why the express company charges $1.05 more for one package weighing twenty pounds than it did for the other? And, if the express agent explains to him why this differ- ence was made, will he not think the shipper should know of these things, thus saving his customer these excessive charges? The higher charge on a basket is not its only drawback as a packing case. I have watched wagonmen load their wagons and messengers placing their freight in cars. If they have a small hole to fill up, just too small for any Store of the Geller Florists' Supply G),, New York, package or box available, they find a basket of plants the best thing to squeeze together and force into that hole. It fits perfectly and when it is taken out and pressed back into shape it is im- possible to tell where the damage oc- curred, as the records show it to have been delivered in apparently good condi- tion. If you are going to prepay a shipment, or are going to send it collect, and don 't want your customer to go into the yir, uo not pack in baskets. Of course, you can send to many points in baskets as cheaply as in boxes, but only in cases where the maximum charge on the regu- lar merchandise rate would be 35 cents. If you have more than one box for the same consignee, pack so that each shipment will weigh twenty pounds or more, as the weight is aggregated, liut if one box weighs less than twenty pounds to be aggregated with other packages, it is billed at twenty pounds. If you must pack in two boxes and each weighs less than twenty pounds, fasten the two boxes together after they are packed instead of sending as two pack- ages. Playing Favorites. Do not play favorites in shipping. Di- vide your common point and foreign company business among all of the com- panies and you will find that you receive better service, and any grievance you may have with any company will receive better attention. If nothing is done to correct some error, or if the company is dilatory in settling claims, or tracing shipments, then take this business from it for a few days and see how quickly they will try to adjust matters. If each agent sees he is getting some business each day that the other fellow could take, he feels that you are favoring him ; con- sequently he feels he should favor yon whenever he has the opportunity to do so. Knowted(;e of Rates Necessary. Become better acquainted with the ex- press plant rates; study them until you understand all the points. Any of the express agents will be glad to come to your office and spend as much time as you desire explaining them to you. If you will do this I am positive you will have more satisfactory relations with the express companies than heretofore. IXIAS. The cultivation of the ixias is of the simplest, and in growing them for deco- rations, or supplying cut flowers, it is an excellent practice to use 5-inch or 6-inch pots, and to put six or seven bulbs in each. The pots should be provided with eflScient drainage, and filled with a com- post consisting of fibrous loam four parts and leaf -mold and sand one part. Press the compost firmly about the bulbs, and when the potting is completed, plunge the pots to their rim in a bed of ashes or cocoanut nuer refuse made up in an un- heated pit. With the compost in a moderately moist state when the bulbs are potted, no water will be required un- less they have commenced to make new growth, and then in very moderate quanti- ties. Ventilate freely after the growth has commenced, and remove the lights except in wet weather or during frosts. In the ordinary course the bulbs will have made several inches of growth by Febru- ary, when they should be removed to the greenhouse or other cool, airy structure, and be placed near the glass to ensure their having the advantage of uninter- rupted light. Care in watering is neces- sary at all stages, for ixias suflfer mate- rially when the supply of water is in excess of their requirements. In outdoor culture select a sunny bor- der where the growth will in spring be sheltered from north and east winds. Make up a bed four or five inches or so above the general level with sandy loam, and place the bulbs three inches apart. Then cover them with a layer of coarse sand, and upon this put a 3-inch layer of soil. The bed should then be covered with straw, bracken, or loose material, to protect from frost, but the covering must be removed in early spring or the growth will become drawn. — Gardeners ' Maga- zine.

Seeing an article in the Review of De- cember 13 on "Valley Under Benches," written oy Mr. Scott, I wish to state that I have grown them for a number of years, both in pots and flats, and have grown them no other way, I have used moss, as he states, but I find by laying pots or flats the same size, over the pipes and stopping the holes with moss, they act much better, as they are not so apt to rot as with the damp moss, and I find they grow more evenly. I disagree with him in the cutting of the roots, as I never leave them much over three inches, if any, and I doubt if Mr. Scott has had better success than I have had. F. Jenkins. Transportation Problems. The trouble why so many shipments are wrongly classified is not the desire of the transportation company to skin us, any more than it is our desire to skin others. The average shipper does not take the time to study the various classifications, noting changes, etc. Every shipper should state the address, town, county, street, state, then what the shipment consists of, boxes, bales, etc., what items they contain, the freight rate, the delivering line, etc., not hurriedly but methodically. Every railroad or express employee is just as anxious to do his duty as is the florist; he is just as anxious to correct errors that are not his fault as is the average florist. The average transpor- tation employee works hard for the little that is doled out for his hard work; work that is very trying, very exacting. Railroads are in it for every limit the traffic will stand, and they get it. If the average florist would follow their lead there would be more enjoyment in the business, for considering the ability, perplexities, care and responsibility re- quired of the average florist, the amount received as compensation is relatively meager. The student of scientific eco- nomics sees the need of better help, better surroundings, better pay, better hours, better prices, more business-like methods or the whole trade will suffer by our fogginess. C. Betscher. A Bad Habit. I would like to call the attention of the readers of the Review to a habit among our wholesale men, which, al- though it may seem trifling, does harm. Some days ago I received a box, con- taining wire frames, marked, "Rush, Perishable Flowers ! No delay ! ' ' The train was late and the expressman rushed over to the greenhouse, it being nearly midnight. The next day I re- ceived a box of violets. It was not marked * ' Rush ' ' and the box remained in the express ofiice over night. Would it not be better to use * ' Rush, ' ' etc.» only on boxes containing perishable flowers and not on florists' supplies? The express companies are, during the holiday time, rushed to the limit and it does not seem right to rush the em- ployees when there is no occasion for it. W. Bay. QNERARIAS. My cinerarias are budding and look fine and healthy. The seed was sown in August and the plants are now in 4-inch and 5-inch pots. The soil is composed of three-fourths rotted sod, one-fourth leaf-mold, with a little well rotted ma- ure added. I keep them in a temperature of about 50 degrees night and day. The lower leaves wilt and gradually die. As the plants are free from insects I am at a loss to know the trouble. F. B. F. The cineraria is considered a cheap and unprofitable plant, but with all that it wants careful watching, as much as many other more expensive plants. You appear to have sown them at the proper time and have used an excellent compost for growing them, and the temperature is not wrong, although 40 degrees at night and 50 degrees in the daytime would be nearer the ideal. This is one of those cold-blooded plants that are hurt with the slightest frost and yet will grow and thrive a few degrees above it. The fact that they are showing flower so early is because the roots are confined in too small pots. The wilting of the lower leaves we have often seen occur and may be caused by the soil in the pots being too dry, and it also may be caused by too much watering. The writer knows no plant that needs more care in watering than the cineraria and it ia the watchful care that is needed in this respect that makes them unprofitable. They want water just when they need it. If you used sifted soil and it is fine in texture and does not let water pass freely through it is almost impossible to grow cinerarias. The potting soil, espe- cially in their last shift, should be coarse and porous and then overwatering is not liable to do so much harm. Unless wanted to flower in January I would advise you to pinch out the flower stem. Shift the 4-inch into 6-inch pots and you will have fine plants later in spring. Keep them on a light, airy bench and keep them at 40 degrees night and 50 degrees in the daytime, and yoit must give plenty of room between the plants. W. S.

Christmas trade was about as usual. Cut flowers had the call, with carnations the leading favorites. The non-arrival of Christmas trees and later shipments of holly was a sore disappointment and placed them in a trying situation, as all the trees were sold in advance. Decembkb 27, 1006.

Mention The RcTlew when yon write. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market The stranger visiting the acres upon acres of glass in this vicinity, devoted to cut flowers, might suppose the resources of the Chicago market to be practically without limit, but it is when Chicago is called upon to meet the feverish demand produced by a Christmas shortage in practically all that great stretch of coun- try between the Alleghenies and the Rockies, from Canada to the gulf, that one gains a fair realization of our great resources. The Christmas demand was something wholly without precedent. Orders in number and in size eclipsed all previous records. The only saving clause was that the demand was spread over several days, Sunday intervening, to the great advan- tage of both retailers and wholesalers, although just the opposite effect had been expected. Early in the week the orders from out of town began to pour upon the wholesalers in such volume that most of the houses were early booked up on most lines. Saturday's shipping busi- ness far exceeded expectations. The sup- plies of stock were less than had been anticipated, as a result of weeks of al- most unbroken dark weather and because growers had been told to make their heaviest shipments Sunday. But, never- theless, great quantities of material were available, although much more would have been consumed had it been pos- sible to fill all orders complete. As early as Saturday wholesalers were face to face with the necessity of cutting orders booked long in advance. This was par- ticularly true of roses, aside from red, good Bridesmaids being the scarcest item. It is safe to say that seldom have good roses been so much short of the demand. There were nowhere near enough carnations to fill Saturday's or- ders, although several houses had quan- tities of white which they were compelled to carry over Saturday night, and, in- deed, there were considerable quantities of white carnations left when the Christ- mas business was ended, and it will serve to pull down average prices. Sunday's shipping was heavy, but not so great as Saturday's, and there was more stock to do with, so orders were sent out more nearly complete than on Saturday. As a summing up it may be said that all roses were far below re- quirements and prices were paid by local retailers such as would have been a shock to out-of-town buyers had stock been sent them at those rates. Eed was scarcest, of course, but first-class Maids were scarcely less so. Uncle John, which is grown instead of Gate, was in fair supply because not in great request. Every colored carnation sold, except some sleepy stock, but there were whites to spare; indeed some were still on hand Wednesday. The city trade began with a rush Mon- day morning, but was soon satisfied. The afternoon found little doing except get- ting out belated shipping orders. In the evening there was a rally which cleaned up considerable stock, but when it was all over there were, besides the white car- nations, large lots of poinsettias, thou- sands of Paper Whites and Romans, considerable valley, lilies, much mignon- ette, stevia and other odds and ends for which there had been no call. The re- ceipts of chrysanthemums were light but much of the stock was poor, and even the best was in light demand. Violets were in big supply and sold well, heavy ad- vance orders having been bonked, but at the close there was a tendency to shade prices. The retailers all did a big business in , one way or another, and, on the whole,, everyone was satisfied, although a better supply of roses would have been a great relief ; as it was the few growers who had good cuts found Christmas a gold mine. Wednesday, of course, saw light re- ceipts, but neither was there much de- mand, although a stiff market is looked for for the next ten days at least. Christmas Plants. The plants sold this Christmas were in both quantity and quality ahead of last year. The ardisia was everywhere, and heavily berried, shapely stock. Poinset- tias were more abundant than usual, most of them well grown, low, wide- headed plants in pans. Azaleas were plentiful and nicely flowered. Verva;- neana made up the hulk of the stock, but a good proportion were Simon Mardner. Lorraine begonias were in splendid shape. More growers are learning to do this plant well, but many of the best still come from Peterson, at Cincinnati. These were the principal items, although or- anges, cyclamens, primulas, ericas, etc., played their parts. Araucarias led all decorative plants, although many Ele- gantissima and Whitmani ferns were sold. Boxwood was everywhere, both plants in pots and cut, made up into 420 The Weekly Florists' Review* December 27, 1900.

Fred Weber has made arrangements to double his glass as soon as building 'Can be begun in the spring. He bought the glass more than a month ago, when the market was at the bottom. The ad- dition will be two high houses 27^^x300. Mr. Weber's crop is Beauties he has done so well that he thinks nothing could equal them. He now has grown his plants eighteen months without rest. He had a splendid crop in the summer, when good Beauties are scarce, and has an- other fine cut just coming on. He missed •Christmas by about a week, but there •.always is a good market in January. E. C. Amling is Mr. Weber's selling agent. W. J. Smyth took full advantage of his new show windows to make the finest Christmas display he has ever shown, especially effective at night, illuminated by seventy-five red incandescents. The windows were filled with ardisias and poinsettias, in red pot covers, baskets and hampers. The back of the window was formed by long loops of lycopodium wreathing, at the end of each loop an Alpha bell. Mr. Smyth said it was much his biggest Christmas, but practi- cally all plants. ' ' People who asked for cut flowers simply walked out when told the price." Arnold Ringier, secretary of the W. W. Barnard Co., states that the business in holiday greens was "the best ever." High prices generally were accepted as a matter of course and the inability to fill all orders was the only feature which caused concern, John Poehlmann says he found time in Monday 's rush to accept a proposition from the agent of the McCormick estate, which will, after May 1, give the Poehl- mann Bros. Co. twice as much room as it now occupies in the basement of the Atlas block. The increase in the firm 's glass and production make more commo- dious selling quarters very necessary. A. Lange has renamed the Rosalind Orr English rose as Lady English in his advertisements in the daily papers, and it really has a better sound, but when he says * ' It has recently supplanted Amer- ican Beauty as the favorite rose," it is possible he is drawing the long bow. Leonard Kill says that Peter Rein- berg 's Christmas sales were so much greater than last year — consequent upon more glass, better crops and better prices — that he hesitates to say just what the increase was for fear that it will add nothing to his reputation for ver- acity. Fleisehman, in the Railway Exchange building, is said to have been the largest local buyer of cut flowers for Christmas. The store is not large enough for the plant trade done by the stores with con- servatories. Nothing but the best cut stock is handled, largely Beauties, vio- leis and quantities of orchids. Frank Garland, at Des Plaines, says he has a few dozen plants of a sport of Enchantress that is the best yet. It is about as dark as Lawson. W. E. Wadsworth, who has charge of Muir 's Forty-seventh street store, says the Christmas call was largely for bas- kets of plants, poinsettias being the leader, with Lorraine begonia second. The park gardeners are asking an in- crease in wages to give them all $75 a month. They now get from $60 to $70. Uncle John Thorpe had a two-column article on ' * The Flower Shop ' ' in the Daily News a few days before Christ- mas which must have been worth a great deal to the trade. Kennicott Bros. Co. handled quite a quantity of good mums for Christmas. The supply people report being pretty well sold out of Christmas specialties. The big charity ball New Year's Eve is looked to as sure to call for many flowers, especially violets. J. J. Soper, of Rockford, was a visitor Saturday, looking up Christmas stock. He says uusiness is flourishing in Rock- ford, and it is no longer a question of price if the stock pleases the buyers. DbcbMbes 27, 1906.

The weather, which had been clear and pleasant, changed to fog and rain December 20 and one or two days following were about as dark and dis- mal as could be imagined. The mild weather, however, made it possible to move plants with little covering. Pre- dictions for a green Christmas were shattered by a heavy snowfall, which came unheralded and unexpectedly on Saturday evening. Sunday proved dull and moderately cold, while Christmas eve proved still colder, and plants and flowers had to be securely wrapped. The dark weather to some extent upset cal- culations as to the flower crop, roses and carnations proving less abundant than had been hoped for. There was, as usual, a good call for pot plants and while nothing really new or unique was forthcoming, the old fav- orites were in good supply and de- mand. In azaleas, Apollo and Firefly were the leaders, although white and pink shades were also in some request. In berried plants some fine hollies were seen and skimmias, aucubas, ardisias and solanums were all in more or less call. Cyclamens, colored Primula Sinensis, Erica melanthera, poinsettias, white and pink Lorraine begonias and Cypripe- dium insigne -were the leaders. Tulips were seen at some otores, but were short- stemmed and small. Made up pans with mixtures of foliage and flowering plants sold well at some stores and there was a good call for fern pans and medium-sized palms. Boston florists do not use the amount of ribbon in ' ' dec- orating" their plants as in some cities and we earnestly hope they never will. "Well grown plants are not improved by it but too often made hideous. In cut flowers roses, as was expected, proved none too plentiful and realized good prices. Top figures on Beauties were $15 to $18 per dozen. First qual- ity Kichmond made half these prices. This was easily the most popular rose on the market. Some good Liberty was seen and sold well. Wellesley, Killar- ney, Chatenay, Bride and Bridesmaid made up to $4 per dozen. Some fine Morgan, Mrs. Oliver Ames, Safrano and Bon Silene were noted and all sold well. In carnations, scarlets, such as Cardinal, Victory and Robert Craig, and crimsons, made $10 to $12.50 per hundred. Ym- chantress, Fair Maid, Lawson, Helen Goddard, Mrs. Patten, Variegated Law- son and ordinary scarlets and crimsons brought $8 to $10. Whites made $6. Some were sold at lower prices than the foregoing, but were inferior goods. Even whites were less druggy than sometimes occurs. Violets sold mostly at $1.50 and $2 per hundred. These were of very fine quality, singles, as usual, selling the highest. Callas and Li Hum Harrisii did not advance much. Poinsettias made all the way from $2 to $8 per dozen. Not many made the highest figure, but quite a few reached, $6. Euphorbia Jacqui- niaeflora and scarlet bouvardia sold well. Sweet peas at $2 per hundred, antir- rhinum at $4 to $8, mignonette from $4 to $10, valley from $4 to $5, Cypripe- dium insigne $12, marguerites, yellow and white, $2 to $3; Paper Whites and Eoman hyacinths, $2 to $3, and chrysan- themums, were the bulk of the other flowers in evidence. The last named flowers were on the wane. A few mader up to $6 per dozen. Others had trouble in making that price per hundred. Bul- bous stock and stevia were in abundant supply. Asparagus plumosus and Spren- geri sold well and adiantum stiffened to $1 and $1.25 per hundred. As usual, the wholesalers and retailers did a heavy business in mistletoe and holly. The first named was splendidly berried. English holly, where imported, was well berried, but a good deal of southern stock was poor. Laurel and box were in heavy demand for wreath- ing and a lot of ground pine also was used. Various Notes. Pcirce Bros, sold a large quantity of azaleas. Firefly being the leader. They also had good cyclamens. They about cleaned out their late mums and had a large crop of carnations, including a fine lot of their new scarlet. Governor Guild. W. W. Edgar & Co., as usual, had an excellent lot of poinsettias, azaleas, Lor- raine begonias and other seasonable flowering plants. They also sold many ferns in pans and other foliage plants. Houghton & Clark made a specialty of orchids in their window, including well bloomed Cypripedium insigne and cat- tleyas. McMulkin had a most effective scar- let window. Among other flowers used were Euphorbia Jacquinia^flora, Salvia splendens, ardisias, poinsettias, scarlet 422 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Dbcbmbeb 27, 1906.

Some excellent Gros Colman grapes were used and showed up well in the scarlet set- ting. S. J. Goddard had extra good Cardinal, Victory, Harry Fenn and Helen God- dard carnations. "William Sim had an immense quantity of single violets of first quality and could have sold many more. Galvin had numerous finely berried hollies in tubs.

Welch Bros, report that the volume of business they transacted broke all pre- vious records. Their extensive new quarters were none too large. Their Beauties were especially fine, as also was Richmond. They handled many thou- sands of lily of the valley from Carl Jurgens. Their poinsettias were extra fine and in green stock, wreathing, etc., they did an immense trade, also in pot plants. Some of the best poinsettias seen came from Dolansky, William Walke, John McFarland and W. W. Edgar Co. Thomas Roland, of Nahant, had, as usual, a grand lot of Lorraine begonias, including the white Turnford Hall va- riety. Erica melanthera, azaleas, poin- .settias, Euphorbia Jacquiniaeflora, cycla- mens, Cypripedium insigne and other plants. H. M. Robinson & Co. were more than satisfied with their first Christmas trade in cut flowers. Their Beauty and Rich- mond roses, valley, chrysanthemums and carnations were of fine quality. In holly and other greenery, in which they are specialists, they were almost swamped with orders, but managed to fill practi- cally all but very late ones. Scarlet, yellow and white tulips and Trumpet Major narcissi came from sev- eral growers, including H. W. Vose, Hyde Park; Tailby & Son and Mann Bros. Especially fine violets, among many others, came from A. W. Kidder, Wm. Spillsbury, H, F. Woods, Malcolm Orr and Thomas Pegler. William Nicholson had some splendid Harry Fenn, Victory, Robert Craig, Ar- istocrat, After Glow and other novelties in carnations which brought fancy prices. Farquhar & Co. had a big lot of Lor- raine begonias and cyclamen from their Roslindale greenhouses.

The largest stock of cut flowers and plants ever marketed in this city has been distrib- uted. The features of the cut flower busi- ness were the immense quantities of choice American Beauty roses received and sold at prices as high as in any pre- vious season, while the aggregate is far in advance of anything ever dreamed of in the past. Fancy stock was sold in hundred lots and one order was noted for 1,000 fancy at $1.25 each. The qual- ity was all that could be desired. Good Maids were scarce. Brides required pushing at times. Killarney sold well, but poorly colored blooms went begging. The demand for lily of the valley was something extraordinary, it being impos- sible to get enough of the fancy stock to fill orders. Another striking feature of the market was the abundant supply of red roses, both Liberty and Richmond, of superb quality, being at their best. It is prob- able that growers of this color will not average more for their roses than those producing pink and white, although some of the fancies sold for higher prices. Cattleyas were in splendid demand, the supply being excellent in some quarters and disappointing in others. The violet market was strong, especially toward the close, when the extremely cold weather threw into the retail stores business or- dinarily transacted by the fakers. Sin- gles locally grown were particularly fine and popular with the average buyer, while choice doubles both from Hights- town and the Hudson river district, found ready sale at fair prices. Poin- settias were abundant enough for every demand, the prices on fancies being high. Carnations were more plentiful than had been anticipated, choice scarlet com- manding the highest price. Craig and Flamingo were the most popular varie- ties. Enchantress led the second divi- sion. In a general way it may be said that carnations were .sold for $2 per hun- dred more than at last Christmas, al- though they will not average the growers quite that much, as some stock will un- doubtedly have to be sold in cheap lots to dispose of it at all. While greens sold well, there was no especial demand for those grown under glass, except in isolated instances. Of the other flowers on the list, it may be said in a general way that they were in good supply and fair demand, consider- ing the high prices. An exception to this is the bulbous stock, Romans and Paper Whites selling rather slowly. Some sweet peas were also poor stock, owing mainly to their condition. The price list which accompanies this report can only be intelligently read by bearing in mind that the high prices are obtained for the finest stock only, that in a shipment of 500 roses there are fre- quently not over twenty-five that can be classed as fancies, while 100 or 200, ac- cording to the skill of the grower and the condition of his plants, will be classed as shorts, and sold at corresponding fig- ures. Then, too, many growers naturally feel that their stock is as fine as any- thing that can be produced. In fact, I would have no respect for a grower who did not feel that way, but when this stock comes up against many others in the open market, it is quite another mat- ter. The quantity of flowering plants sold was something enormous, and to these must be added a moderate number of fol- iage plants. We are also largely indebt- ed to the enterprise of the supply men, who have given us combination baskets of most artistic pattern, responsible for tlie disposal of far more material of this kind than would ordinarily be required. The demand for greens was unprecedent- ed. Of course there were quantities left, 424 The Weekly Florists^ Review* DECEMBER 27, 1906.

The Ball Season. The season of fashionable midwinter balls, usually commencing about the mid- dle of January, and ending with Lent, a movable date, is this year earlier than ever before. The first large affair in ultra-fashionable circles was a private ball, Mrs. Gowan's, at the Bellevue- Stratford, December 21. The Benedicts followed at Horticultural hall, December 26. Mrs. Van Kenssalaer's will be held at the Bellevue-Stratford on Friday; Mrs. Cuyler's, in the same hostelry, January 2; and the First Assembly follows, also in the Bellevue-Stratford, January 4. While these balls do not always affect the market materially, they are apt to do so to some extent, cut flowers being largely used when dinners precede the dance, while the demand for both foliage and blooming plants is quickened. Whether the gaiety of the social season will last until Lent is problematic. VariotM Notes. S. S.

Moore made their market headquarters look like old times. The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. had its big force on the jump. The quantity of stock handled was enormous. Myers & Samtman cut 13,000 American Beauties for Christmas, 8,200 of which went to the Leo Niessen Co. and the balance to A. M. Murdoch, of Pittsburg. The firm have assured Mr. Niessen that their Beauties will be in crop for six weeks. Some frozen shipments from the grow- ers were received and express compan- ies got entangled with shipments for the south and west. Mrs. George Burton, wife of the well- known rose grower, died on Christmas day. The funeral services will be held at her husband's residence on Saturday, at 2 p. m.

The mail order florists are busy with preparations for the issue of their spring catalogues, which have just begun to come from the printers. The work of compiling, setting up and electrotyping the pages, printing, binding and mailing provides employment for a goodly num- ber of persons. This will readily be un- derstood upon glancing at the following figures, representing the actual output of the various concerns in catalogues of from thirty-two to 112 pages: Good & Reese Co., 575,000; Geo. H. Mellen Co., 140,000; Schmidt & Botley, 105,000; Mc- Gregor Bros. Co., 100,000; Springfield Floral Co., 65,000; Eeeser Floral Co., 65,000, and Fairview Floral Co., 50,000, making a total of 1,100,000. The sales of plants, seeds and bulbs which result from the scattering of this floral literature throughout the land, and, in fact, over the whole civilized portion of the earth, is something enormous and makes the local floral industry foremost in importance to the post-office and ex- press companies. John M. and Frank E. Good recently returned from a southern trip, during which they attended the annual meeting of stockholders of the United States Nur- sery Co., at Rich, Miss., in which a num- ber of other Springfield men are inter- ested. • They report having had 125 acres in roses during the last season and the demand for stock such that they were able to fill only forty per cent of their or- ders. The soil had been somewhat ex- hausted from continuous planting of cot- ton, but has been gradually brought into much better condition for the desired pur- pose. At the December meeting of the Flor- ists' Club, the subject previously an- nounced was, "Department Stores and How They Affect Our Business. ' ' Charles Unglaub opened the discussion from the standpoint of the local retailers and Le- man Bradford, John Good, Charles Schmidt, Opha Jackson and others .spoke in behalf of the wholesalers, after which the discussion became quite general and naturally somewhat spirited. The local conditions are held to be exceptional, in that we have two large, progressive and prosperous department stores, the Irish owners of which are related by marriage and yet at swords' points. When one in- troduces a sale on any particular line, the never-be-downed spirit of the other store is at once aroused and the succeeding morning or evening paper is sure to con- tain a " go-him-one-better " inducement to attract shoppers. Last spring one wholesaler cleaned house by introducing a sale of plants at one store and the other store immediately seeuretl a large supply from another greenhouse and in, the merry war that resulted, retail prices regardless of cost reached a point "unfit for publication," as our friends, the Jackson & Perkins Co., would say. Nat- urally the local retail florists sufferetl, temporarily at least, and are inclined to think the matter should be controlled in 426 The Weekly Florists' Review* December 27, 1006.

The ques- tion was referred to the grievance com- mittee, to be reported upon at the Janu- ary meeting. Ge Dale. NEW YORK. The Market Saturday supplies were short of the demand and cut-flower prices advanced sharply. The week opened with almost zero weather, a sudden change that boded no comfort for the plantsmen and for the retail florists, for the necessity of wrapping every plant. Orders had been booked during the latter part of the week and on Sunday that made retailers feel on easy street so far as their ham- pers and baskets of blooming plants were concerned. The final rounding up of the generous givers on Monday main- tained the reputation of the past years for plant Christmases and cleaned up everything of value or beauty in plant specimen orJcomDination. Then, of ne- cessity, the^desire for cut flowers was given more encouragement. The growers with stands at the mar- ket opened at 5 o'clock, as is the custom on holidays, and a big crowd was in at- tendance. Prices were reasonable, and in an hour every grower had completed the sale of his stock, and by 8 o. 'clock the big exchange was empty. The reg- ulars, Frank Millang, Bonnet Bros., Chas. Smith and W. H. Siebrecht, held the fort, as usual, during the balance of the day and were kept busy. On the floor below the Cut Flower Co., Moore, Hentz & Nash, Noe and the other expert rose and carnation growers who here dispense their stock, opened as usual, at 8 o'clock, and soon the room was noisy with a host of buyers of every tongue and nation. In the babble I could distinguish Joe Millang 's dictum "Best Beauties one and a half," and some of the best Maids and Brides on this floor were held for 30 cents. The pickled stock, wherever it was seen, and there was some of it everywhere, made one feel like 30 cents to look at it. In the commission houses Beauties were sold in lots of 1,000 or more to some of the leading retailers. Some grand Beauty stock came from Philadel- phia. The finest of the orchids touched $1 in the evening. Carnations, except for the novelties, sold at from $8 to $15 per hundred. The Cottage Gardens out- put, as usual, was wonderful and varied. Victory was in great demand, so were all the reds and crimsons, and at top prices. The streets were flooded with stevia. Smilax was abundant. Lilies were few and $2 a dozen was the asking price. There seemed to be more than enough valley to go round. In one of the Rhinebeck papers an ad- vertisement urged the growers to make a united effort to force violets to $2. Copies of this reached the wholesalers in the late afternoon and caused quite a sensation. The general opinion was that there was danger of the severe illness of the goose that lays the golden eggs, or, in clearer terms, an inevitable and seri- ous slump in the violet market after the holiday is over. All the plantsmen are delighted. Not a desirable or salable plant is left un- sold. Everybody seems to have calcu- lated wisely and if any error has been made it is in conservatism, for there is not now and never will be a surplus of well grown plants that these cities with- in a radius of twenty miles of New York cannot handle profitably and surely. Great quantities have been shipped away, some of them over 1,000 miles, and more and more each year the expert growers of the east are called upon to satisfy the growing demand from the west, south and north of us. Various Notes. Alex McConnell has added to his big store in the Arcade on Fifth avenue two other stores in the same building, greatly increasing his conveniences thereby. He found them especially use- ful for the Christmas trade, which was far ahead of any former year in his long career. Last week on the Crown Prince Frederick he shipped for a cus- tomer to Queen Alexandra, of England, six dozen American Beauties, the roses being taken by special messenger from Plymouth to London. They were grown by L. M. Noe, of Madison, and reached their destination in perfect condition. This is the fourth shipment Mr. Mc- Connell has made to the Queen of Eng- land. McManus reports many shipments of orchids and a fine demand from all over the country, with all the popular va- rieties in stock and a fair supply for all demands. The sales of wreathing and holly have been enormous. All the green goods men have had extra forces at work night and day.

Plumb is enjoying a vacation as one of the lieu- tenants in this strenuous center. Mr. Merritt, formerly with J. M. Hodgson & Co., on Fifth avenue, is now in charge of the Siegel & Cooper con- servatories and his master hand and ex- pert management are already apparent there and in the cut flower department of the firm as well. The large green- houses are splendidly stocked with the choicest goods and a large increase in the volume of business has developed since Mr. Merritt assumed control. At Bloomingdale 's, W. W. Bumham has built up a wonderful business on legitimate lines, antagonizing none of the best retail trade of the city and maintaining similar prices to those which obtain in the retail stores of Broadway and Fifth avenue. Over in Brooklyn at Loeser's, C. C. Trefel manages his immense trade in a similar way and with his own $1,500 team and delivery wagons and all needed facilities he has sold this Christmas 2,500 poinsettias in pots, 2,500 arau- carias and over 2,000 azaleas, besides 5,000 fern dishes and palms and ferns innumerable. Last Easter his sales of azaleas totaled 18,000. On December 26 he had the elaborate decoration for the Brooklyn Heights casino. Mrs. Trefel is in charge of the cut flower de- partment. These department store flor- ists, once a menace, have become ad- juncts and educators, enhancing the pub- lic interest in floriculture. A great many growers of roses and violets were in the city last week, inves- tigating the Christmas market prospects. Among them were Judson Traver and P. Tremper, of Ehinebeck, These violets men up the state are growing in numbers rapidly and grow- ing in wealth as well. Little wonder there is no other industry in Dutchess county worthy of the name. Every vio- let grower is an aristocrat. Even the beginners, with their two or three 100- foot houses put by enough money in the winter to take a trip to Europe and build another house or two for the next season. J. Austin Shaw. The Charles H. Fox Co. has been in- corporated under the laws of the state of New York, the principal offices being stated to be in New York city.

There was plenty of stock, after all, and every one got all he wanted, and that was a good deal. The weather turned cold Sat- urday night and we had a cold, white Christmas, and while this weather has helped business it has been hard on the plant men and has made plenty of extra work wrapping to protect from freezing, but there is no complaint, for everyone has made money.

Green goods of all kinds cleaned up nicely and plants never sold so well, but there probably never was as good stock offered for sale in this city. Immortelles, statice and other wreaths and decorations could scarcely be made up fast enough to satisfy the demand. The retail stores never looked so well nor had so many pretty things in them. Various Notes. Breitenstein & Flemm have their shop decorated with artificial poinsettias and these, with the exquisite plants and artistic wreaths, were worth going a mile to see. Mrs. E. A. Williams' shop was as pretty as a picture. The general ar- rangement is always artistic, but the addition of such plants, baskets, wreaths and otlier novelties made it a paradise where even one in the trade found it hard to keep his money in his pocket. A. W. Smith made a general change in his large store, putting all workmen out of sight and decorating the whole shop with natural poinsettias from six inches to eight feet high, and the effect he got with these flowers and Whitmani ferns was grand. H. L. Blind & Bros, were not behind in any respect. Their azaleas, poinset- tias, oranges, and various red-berried plants, and hardsome cut flowers of their own growing, kept their store filled with buyers. L. I. Neff, with four stores to look after, forgot his amusement interests entirely and was so busy keeping up a stock of his own novelties (red baskets filled with red immortelles and boxwood, and red bells by the thousands) that his force has been working day and night for several weeks. Eandolph & McClements, in the east end, had their beautiful store filled with everything one could think of in the way of plants for Christmas, and were busy with large decorations. The Siebert Co. outdid itself in pretty combinations of red and green, both in plants and made-up wreaths. P. S.

BALTIMORE. The Market Last week opened with a rush, and it still continues and the outlook is en- couraging. It is feared cut blooms will be scarce, however.

All kinds of stock has been very scarce for Christmas week. Carnations sold at from $8 to $10 per hundred for good blooms. Eoses were also pretty much cleaned up. The growers found ready sale for all flowering stuff; pot plants sold better in this than in other years, the demand being about equal to the supply. The cloudy weather in this vicinity for the last month gave all stock a setback. Growing carnations in Cleveland is about like growing them in a cellar. . We have had little or no sunlight.

WESTERLY, R. I. Just before Christmas is the best time of the year to make a tour of the grow- ers, when crops are just right and every- thing points to a big harvest. Some growers have a habit of offering an ex- cuse for stocks being off crop, but the successful man is he who can keep up a succession and at no season be out. S. J. Renter has roses and carnations all the year round. Thousands of rooted cuttings in pots are ready and look thrifty. One of the strongest is Fisher 's new scarlet. Beacon. Craig and Har- lowarden are the standard scarlets. Queen Louise, Queen and Vesper are the whites. White Perfection is grand. It would delight the eyes of Fred Dorner could he take a peep at this house just now. Variegated Lawson is freer than GAL7KX, GREEN AND BRONZE LEUCOTHOE SPRATS Prime goods, lowest price.

LETTUCE WORM. I send two worms (one cocoon) that I found in large numbers on my lettuce in the garden in early fall and as my first crop from the greenhouse plants were outside until September 15 I have found several of them on the field-grown lettuce indoors recently. It appears to be a species of the cabbage worm but I had never known it to be found on lettuce. Please examine and let me know what it is and what remedy you would suggest for it. L. G. The sample sent is what is commonly called the green lettuce worm. It does not feed entirely on lettuce, though it shows a special preference for it as a diet. The best means of getting rid of them indoors is by hand picking. Though they usually keep on the under side of the leaf, it is easy to see by the mutilated leaves where they are working. They are not apt to appear in large quantities on the lettuce, as the butter- fly that lays the eggs hibernates for the winter. The eggs have no doubt been taken indoors on the plants and, with the warm atmosphere provided, have hatched out. Remedies like slugsnot, to- bacco, etc., would be all right to kill the warms but these leave the plants dirty and, being hard to clean off, would cer- tainly not improve the flavor of the let- tuce. Outdoors some of these remedies have to be employed, as in the open hand picking is out of the question, es- pecially for large plantations, but if put on as a preventive when the plants are small the rain may be counted on to pretty well clean the plants before they are ready for use. W. S. Croydon. FEEDING. The present is a season when practi- cally no feeding should be given to vege- tables forced under glass, as the dull, cloudy weather renders the plants inac- tive to a certain degree. It is the action of sunlight on the foliage that enables the plants to draw up and assimilate the plant foods which go to build up the tissues and strengthen the plants. Hence at this season, when we are getting the mimimum of sunshine, the requirements of the plants in respect to plant foods A BED or MUSHROOMS Balsed from our Spawn, will bear longer and yield better than from any other variety of Spawn.

Therefore, if feeding material is applied it must be to a large extent wasted, besides clog- ging up the soil with chemical matter to the exclusion of the free passage of air, this causing more or less sourness in the soil and rendering the roots of the plants less active than they would otherwise be. Under such conditions the plants will make a soft growth and fall an easy prey to fungus and other diseases. All efforts during the dull, short days should be directed towards keeping the plants as firm in growth as possible by avoiding anything that will induce soft growth and by giving all the fresh air that can safely be given. Then, when the proper season comes, the plants will be in the best possible condition to as- similate the plant foods. The time at which feeding material can safely be applied will depend a good deal on the season, but as a rule about the middle of February the lengthening days and the increasing amount of sunshine increase the action of the plants to a degree suflScient to enable them to profit by the application of feeding material. Strong feeders, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, should be the first to receive feeding. The material to " be used will depend a good deal on the quality of the soil in which the plants are growing. Soils are seldom found that are evenly balanced in the matter of plant foods, and the grower should endeavor to as- certain the elements in which his soil is lacking and apply manures accordingly, also taking into consideration the re- quirements of the plants in hand. Bone meal makes a good general fer- tilizer, both for cucumbers and tomatoes, but for soils lacking in nitrogen, blood and bone is preferable. Guano also is good when a good grade can be procured, but the different brands vary consider- ably in strength and composition. Hen and pigeon manure are both rich in phosphoric acid and are valuable fertil- izers, but must be used in small quan- tities or damage may result. Barnyard manure is about as good a general manure as can be had, but is best mixed in the soil before it is put in Lambert's Pare Culture Mushroom Spawn Produced by new grafting process from selected and prolific specimens, thor- oughly acclimatized.

A good liquid also is made from sheep manure by putting one bushel in a bag and soaking in fifty gallons of water. After stand- ing a day or two the liquid from this would be too strong to apply as it is at first, so should be diluted about half and half with clear water. After taking off the liquid the barrel or tank should be filled up and allowed to stand for a couple of days. The liquid resulting from this will be about the right strength to apply. Liquid can also be made from hen manure the same way, but as this is strong material it should be well diluted at first. Sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of soda are two quick acting manures, use- ful as stimulants in carrying through a crop that is near completion. Either of these latter manures may be used on lettuce, but only when the days are long and the weather clear and bright, so that plenty of fresh air can be given to keep the growth firm and pre- vent damping. Applied in the short days of winter, harm to the plants would be sure to result. W. S. Croydon. Enclosed find $1 to renew subscrip- tion to the l?EviEw. We could not do without it.

Wood, Richmond, Va.; First Vlce-Pre8MCharl«B Burge, Toledo, O.; Sec'y and TTreas-.C. B. Kendal, Cleveland. The 26th annual tneetlnr will b« held at New York City, June, 1907. The market gardeners are astir. They fear inability to procure seed of their favorite strains. The after Christmas lull will give some of the seedsmen a chance to adjust onion seed prices. Some of the posted ones state that the green-podded beans will not bring the prices they did last year. The general demand for advanced prices on contract orders is not meeting with the resistance the grower feared. It is a safe guess that nobody knows ■what onion sets will be worth in the spring, unless they have the amount nominated on the bond. Speaking of onion seed, there is one good thing to be noted, and that is the fact that there is no supply of the Globe varieties to be had from promis- cuous sources. The two representatives of the Cali- fornia seed growing interests, who are the only ones thus far engaged in an eastern trip this season, report business booked up to the limit of their resources. With the exception of beans and po- tatoes, the prices in the 1906 retail cata- logues would do just as well for 1907, and those who depend on the cut rate for their trade wouiu be just about as far below the quality pushers. Theee is wide call for reliable seeds of forcing strains of lettuce, cucumber, radish, etc. The seedsman who estab- lishes, through advertising, a wide rep- utation for reliable stock will have a permanent asset in a steady mail order trade. It doesn't look as though congress is very anxious to legislate on free seeds, the tariff, the parcels post, or any other of the weighty subjects before it, when it takes a holiday recess from December 20 to January 3. The session ends March 4, 1907. The general catalogue of Walter ' P. Stokes, Philadelphia, was received De- cember 21.

These crop reports may appear somewhat late and may, perhaps, repeat many of my previous reports, but th»y are more to be relied upon coming to hand later and when the crops are fully cleaned. Seedsmen report a general clean-up of bulbs of all sorts at good prices. Supplementary orders sent to Holland in the majority of cases remained un- filled, there being no bulbs of the pop- ular trade sorts left in the Dutch ware- houses after the regular shipments fin- ished. Some few sorts of gladioli have been slow sale but even these are get- ting practically cleared. Mild weather has been experienced in Holland during the whole of the plant- ing season and practically the whole of the stock bulbs are under the ground and are already safely protected from frost with the winter covering of reeds and similar material. A less quantity than usual is reported to have been planted by the regular, old-established export firms, but taking into account the large new cultures in the new northern dis- tricts there is a larger acreage planted than usual. B. J. VITALITY OF SEEDS. While there is some doubt as to the reliability of reports of wheat taken from Egyptian graves of ancient date germinating when planted, many notable, if less wonderful, examples of nature 's preservation of the life of seeds come to light from time to time. One of the most noteworthy of these refers to seeds taken from Fort Conger, about 490 miles from the pole, by the Peary party in 1899, having been exposed in this north- ern climate for a period of sixteen years, their presence there being the result of the Greely expedition of 1883. Pack- ages of lettuce and radish seeds were brought to the United States, and, after a further period of six years, were planted, and while the lettuce seed had lost its vitality, fully one-half of the radish seeds germinated. ANTHURIUM SEED. A hint as to the vegetative treatment of the seeds of Anthurium Scherzianum and other species and varieties is given by M. Van Hecke, of Ghent. He states in the Deutsche Gartner Zeitung that the seeds suffer if they be not sown almost directly they are mature, and the best mode of sowing is in shallow pans filled with finely chopped sphagnum one-half and an equal portion of leaf soil, plac- ing the seeds about three-quarters of an inch from each other and putting noth- ing over them, but lightly pressing the seeds into the mixture.

' ' As much as forty years ago scientific men," says Burnet Landreth in his ad- dress on "The New Agriculture," "in- dicated to seedsmen the use of several insecticides, principally carbon-bisulphid for the treatment of weevil-infected seeds, or for the treatment, in fact, of any seeds bearing on their surfaces or within them insects or mites. Seedsmen and grain merchants are especially an- noyed in the conduct of their business by the depredations of the weevil family which burrow or ensconce themselves notably in the seeds of peas or beans, corn or wheat. These grubs may be killed in their holes by the fumes of carbon bisulphid, to effect which the seedsman erects a room say thirty or forty feet square, lined top, bottom and sides with tin and with a door which can be hermetically sealed.

These houses are up-to-date and no ex- pense was spared to make them the best in the country. He grows all the new kinds of roses and carnations, along with the best standard sorts, also the general runs of cut flowers and greens, doing a wholesale business only. It is such a place as the small florists of this state have been needing, where they can get their flowers in a hurry. From all over the state reports come of new houses going up for retail use, but one of the greatest things the florists of this state have to contend with is to get expert help. There is a good chance for such help down here, and after getting used to the weather and the state they could get good wages. In cut flowers, carnations have been grown more than any other flower. Roses under glass up to the present have not been a great success, although a San Antonio grower does them well, and I think some of the other growers will take rose culture up in the near future.

O'Connor plants ten-week stocks as soon as mums are cleared off in his place at Providence, R. I. Two new houses are planted to Enchantress, Queen Louise, Lady Bountiful, Cardinal and Nelson car- nations. Richmond is the only red rose grown. Violets are scarce. The funeral of the late mayor called for large num- bers. Twenty thousand were used to line the grave. Some big orders for wedding decorations are to be filled this week. M. Sweeney, of Providence, reports business satisfactory, and Johnny Wood can hardly find time to talk. He has th© contract to decorate the new seed store, which is one of the handsomest in the east. T. Barclay, of Pawtucket, R. I., in- tends giving up cut flowers and substi- tuting green stuff. The houses are well adapted for this purpose, and, as the de- mand is always in excess of the supply, he doubtless is doing the correct thing. William Hoffman, of Pawtucket, has given up the decorating branch of his business, finding it more profitable to utilize the space for flowering stock. He has a neat and attractive place. T. J. Johnson says the sale of plants is on the increase in Pawtucket, He haa orders booked for 500 Begonia Gloire de Lorraine alone. Some of the choicest stock of S. J. Renter finds its way here. E. W. Clark, of New London, Conn., who for many years managed the John Spalding place, has built an up-to-date plant in the uptown section of the city and reports excellent business. Funeral work at this time comes high when flow- ers are scarce. At the store of S. J. Renter, New Lon- don, I found the artists all busy. The neat decorations, as here seen, are full of suggestion.

Stemi— Invariably strong, but always graceful, rang- ing from 12 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, etc. — A very quick, active grower, making specimen plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On ac- count of its rapid growth, requires supporting very soon after benching. Gets away rapidly, blooms early and gives long stems right from the start. Prodnot- {▼eneaa— Prodigious is the best word we know of to use here.

PACIFIC COAST. All southern California is rejoicing in the rains that have teen so plentiful the last twenty days. The florists are complaining at the loss of some outdoor flowers but under-glass stock is fine. Los Angeles, Cal. — Budolph Fischer, of Great Neck, L. I., has bought five acres of land about twelve miles from Los Angeles and has built a house and planted about an acre of Freesia Purity. Mr. Fischer's family already is living on the place and Mr. Fischer intends to join his people here in the spring. The founder of the Woodburn Nur- series, Woodburn, Ore., was J. H. Settle- mier, a pioneer of '49, having crossed the plains by ox team when a boy 9 years of age, and has lived in the Wil- lamette valley ever since. He worked in the nursery of his father, afterwards going into business for himself at the present location in 1863, continuing until 1892, when his son, F. W. Settlemier, succeeded to the ownership. It is stated that the demand for young peach trees for planting in the famous peach region adjacent to Yuba City, Cal., will be greater this year than in years gone by. In fact, the demand has spread into sections heretofore un- known to be good peach soils. The can- neries are yearly increasing their out- put of fruit, and the demand for peaches is exceeding the output. It is under- stood that local nurseries are over- whelmed with orders for peach trees. SAN FRANOSOO.

There is no apparent scarcity of any one article at present, except violets, and we have not as yet had suflScient moisture to suit their demands. Valley, which has been scarce, is now in abun- dant supply and is bringing good prices. Berries, mistletoe and huckelberry are being sold by the ton, and the general supply of all kinds of green goods does not exceed the demands. In all the bay towns the same condi- tions seem to prevail, and I think it is safe to predict we will have a banner holiday trade. G. THE UNIVERSITY FARM. E. J.

He said that Mr. Kearney's gift of 5,400 acres of valuable land to the state stands for a declaration of his dying faith that whatever the state may pro- vide and maintain for horticultural training and research there is ample op- portunity and demand that much more shall be done by individual gift and be- quest. He described .at some length the farm purchased by the state near Davis- ville and also the Kearney property, both of which, he said, were admirably adapted to the uses to which they are to be put. Continuing, he stated that this rich inheritance which comes to the state, must be taken as evidence of two things: First, the research work and the popu- lar presentation of its results, by Prof. Hilgard and his staff during the last third of a century has convinced the peo- ple of California that the fullest knowl- edge of California conditions of climate, of soils and cultures must be had for intelligent and profitable pursuit of the industries which are based upon them. Second, that the equipment and facili- ties of the department for teaching the practical arts, in accordance with the scientific demonstration of local condi- tions, were pitiably meager and inade- quate. Hence arose the popular demand that the college should undertake instruction in California farm practice on much December 27, 1906.

That the legislature from the pop- ular demand, and Mr. Kearney from his own convictions, should place all this value in the hands of the College of Horticulture is a complete demonstra- tion that the foundation laid by it in horticultural science was recognized as sound and enduring, and the men who had given their lives, hitherto, to the building of the foundations, could best direct the expansion on the practical side of instruction, so that the culture of the soil, known to be practicable un- der California conditions, should be faithfully and accurately taught. Thus the recent state law, indorsed by Mr. Kearney's magnificent gift, becomes an incontrovertible decision, that horticul- tural research and instruction shall be henceforth entrusted to that department of the University of California, in ac- cordance with the organic act which brought this institution into existence forty years ago. G. AT SALEM, ORE. The illustration opposite is from a photograph of the new establishment of C. F. Euef, at Salem, Ore. It con- sists of two houses, each 20x100 feet. The construction is modern in all its features. Heating by hot water is from a boilerhouse at the left, water supply being by the windmill and tank shown in the picture. One house is devoted to carnations, the other to mums, callas and greens. CINQNNATL The Market Christmas business is now a thing of history for this year. As was expected, all kinds of stock was scarce and every- thing sold at a good figure. I should say that, in consequence of the scarcity, the average price of stock was higher than at any time for many years. About every- thing that came in had been ordered many times over and had to be divided pro rata. Koses were in better supply than carnations, but that is not saying much. Red roses were scarce and the available stock was not a drop in the bucket. Most orders for Liberty, Rich- mond or Beauty had to be turned down. There were quite a few holdover mums, which helped out wonderfully and brought high prices. Poinsettiaa sold better. Narcissi, Romans, valley and stevia sold out clean. Violets were in heavy demand and the supply was not equal to it. It is still too early to speak of the volume of business done, but there can be no doubt of its having been fully up to last year in dollars and cents, if not in volume of stock handled. And, after all, that is what counts. The weather is very cold at night, but it is clear and the sun shines most of the time. Various Notes. Fred Gear celebrated the holidays by erecting a large electric sign in front of his store, which can be seen for several blocks. Mr. Gear expects to make it a permanent fixture. If you want to spend an enjoyable and profitable evening don't forget the next meeting of the Florists' Society, Janu- ary 12, at 8 p. ra. It is expected to be the banner meeting of the year. C.

Nurserymen in Germany make much complaint that the prices of fruit trees, as a result of overproduction, have fallen to an unprofitable level. EicE Bros., of Geneva, N. Y., will grow nursery stock, seeds, etc. The cap- italization is $35,000, The incorporators are: John F. Kice, Terrence W. Rice and O. J. C. Rose. The nurserymen of the West Chester, Pa., section are enjoying one of the longest seasons in the history of the busi- ness and are still busy planting trees and shrubbery about the country, the ground being in good condition for the work. As long as the weather remains partly open the work will go on. D. L. Viets, of Warren, O., died De- cember 20, at the state hospital at Ma- sillon. He had been in failing health for more than a year past. Death was attributed to paresis. Mr. Viets 's fa- ther was Alonzo Viets, who left Con- necticut and settled at Fowler, O. The son was for a number of years engaged in the nursery business at Warren. He was a member of the Christian Church at that place and was an honored citizen. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Helen Viets, and four sons. NEW NINNESOTA NURSERY. The Blue Earth County Nursery Co. is an organization recently started at Mankato, Minn. Ole Andengaard is the president and treasurer and M. L. Gjes- trum manager. The company has leased sixty-two acres of land in East Man- kato and will grow both fruit and orna- mental stock. Mr. Anaengaard is one of the substan- tial men of Blue Earth county, who is a practical farmer. Mr. Gjestrum has made the nursery business his life work. He is a graduate of the agricultural college at Ames, la., and was for eleven years with the Sherman Nursery Co., at Charles City, la. There ought to be a good field at Mankato for a nursery, as several of the smaller towns of the state with not near the shipping facilities or territory that Mankato has have thriving nurseries. VIOLATE PENNSYLVANIA LAW. State Inspector Surface, at Harris- burg, has been working for months to ascertain the truth of some charges that infected nursery stock is being shipped into Pennsylvania, and has obtained evi- dence that will probably lead to some arrests under the law of 1905. The ship- ment of trees into Pennsylvania without fumigation and certificate is a flat vio- lation of the law, and no railroad com- pany can accept for shipment into Penn- sylvania trees which have not the certifi- cate of fumigation. In the face of this, it is said at the capitol that the oflScers of the division have obtained positive evidence that trees have been shipped from nurseries in Ohio and New York into Pennsylvania without the process of fumigation. It is probable that the rail- road companies will be prosecuted. The actions will be the first of the kind, and if it is decided to prosecute the ship- ment of non-certified trees will speedily cease. SULPHUR. Sulphur has been known from the ear- liest times, as it occurs in the free or native state in the neighborhood of ex- tinct as well as active volcanoes. It was formerly termed brimstone, and was con- sidered by the alchemists to be the prin- ciple of combustibility and believed by them to represent the alterability of metals by fire. The compounds of this element occur in nature in much larger quantities and are much more widely dis- tributed than sulphur itself. Until recently nearly all of the sul- phur of commerce was derived from the volcanic district of the Island of Sicily, where it occurs in widespread masses, being imbedded in a matrix of marl, limestone, gypsum and celestine. The sulphur occurs partly in trans- parent, yellow crystals termed virgin sul- phur, and partly in opaque crystalline masses, to which the name of volcanic sulphur is given. Both of these varie- ties are separated from the matrix by a process of fusion. The general process used is as follows: An excavation about ten meters in diameter and about two and a half me- ters in depth arranged with a slanting bottom so an opening can be made from the lowest portion, and the sulphur as it melts may flow out. These holes are built up with masses of gypsum and the inside covered with a coating of plaster of paris. The calcaroni, as these kilns are termed, are then filled with the sul- phur ore, which is built up on top in the form of a cone. The whole heap is then coated over with powdered ore, and this again covered with a layer of burnt-out ore, after which the sulphur is lighted at the bottom. By permitting the heat to penetrate very slowly into the mass the sulphur is gradually melted, and, running away by the opening at the bottom, it is caught in molds. This is the ordinary brimstone of commerce. The sulphur obtained by liquation from the calcaroni (brimstone) is not sufficieniiy pure for all purposes and has to be submitted to a process of refining; this is termed subliming, and consists in converting the sulphur into a vapor, which is reconverted into solid sulphur in a condensing chamber. This process may be briefly described as follows: The sulphur is placed in a retort under which a fire is built. When the retort becomes sufficiently heated the sulphur begins to pass as vapor into the con- densing chamber. The vapor, immedi- ately on coming into contact with the cold chamber, is chilled and falls as a minutely divided solid. These flowers, as they are called, adhering to the walls and top and bottom of the chamber, are removed before the chamber gets hot, Avhich is the case after a few days' working, as the heat which the sulphur has taken up in order to become vapor- ized is given out to the walls of the chamber, which thus acquire so high a temperature as to fuse or melt sulphur, so that it can no longer become solid on the walls or the chamber, but condenses on the walls in a liquid form and runs to the bottom, where it collects. This dis- tilled sulphur is run out through an opening into molds and is called stick or roll sulphur. The stick or roll sul- phur is then ground into a very fine powder, which is termed flour sulphur. From the above brief description it will be seen that the grade of sulphur known in the trade as flowers is formed by sublimation and condensation in the form of minute particles before the walls of the chamber become greatly heated, and that the flour sulphur is secured by grinding the stick or roll brimstone, which is formed by the sulphur fumes being fused by the heated walls of the chamber. In the process of subliming sulphur A SNAP! Hydrangeas for Easter To close out quick, we offer a fine lot of stocky plants of TH08.

Mr. Macrae's seedling mum, Golden Dome, a sport of Yellow Eaton, is promising and highly thought of in the market. It will be distributed jointly next year by the E. G. Hill Co. and the introducer. F. Macrae 's Sons grow carnations as their principal crop and have large cuts in sight. The new seed store of Kennie & Thompson is a dandy. It is thoroughly up to date in' every way and capable of accommodating a big business. W. S. Pino has the business formerly conducted by Kennie & Pino and has made preparations for an even larger business than heretofore. George Johnson & Son report an in- creasing demand for shrubbing. They do a large amount of landscape work. Abe Johnson is superintendent of one of the largest cemeteries and finds that it helps business. W. M. TRITOMAS. Can tritomas be kept safely through the winter in a moderately moist cellar with an average temperature of 45 to 50 degrees without any covering over the roots, or should they be covered with moist sand? J. L. D. Yes, the condition described will suit tritomas first rate through the winter. Even if it were a little lower in tempera- ture it would not hurt, only cover the roots as high as the earth came when they were growing outdoors. The tri- toma is almost a hardy plant in our northern states. W. S. WooDBRiDGE, Fla. — Every one here is busy packing the orange crop and vege- tables.

NEW ORLEANS. At the last meeting of the New Or- leans Horticulture Society little busi- ness was transacted, almost all the time being given to Prof. Wilnion Newel, of the State Experiment Station at Baton Eouge, who delivered an interesting lec- ture on "Insects Which Damage and Destroy Our Field Products in Louisi- ana." His flashlight introduction, dem- onstrating the modus operandi of these pests, was highly appreciated by the audience and different remedies to anni- hilate them were also given by the speaker. Prof. Arthur H. Kosenfeld, of Rad- ford, Va., read a paper on "The White Fly, ' ' a great enemy of the citrus plants of Louisiana. C. W. Eichling recommended as a very satisfactory insecticide, after hay- ing tried many different ones, an oil, which is sold by the American Horti- cultural Distributing Co., of Martins- burg, W. Va. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., was m town last week, coming to see New Orleans for the first time. M. M. L. White Plains, N. Y.— J. H. Lauren & Co. intend to erect this winter three new iron-frame greenhouses of about 10,000 feet of glass at the corner of Central avenue and Tarrytown road. They ex- pect to grow roses and carnations and general bedding stuff for the local trade. They will also ship to Philadelphia and New York city markets. Washington, Pa. — Jos. H. Seaman & Co. got out a pretty little Christmas card, With a sprig of holly and gold-leaf bells stamped in one corner. It was used with all boxes sent out for Christmas, being tied on with narrow red and green ribbon. They also had a souvenir folder decorated with a wreath of holly enclos- ing an appropriate Christmas thought in verse.

Will you inform me as to how many feet of radiation a 1-inch, 1^-inch, 1%- inch, 2-inch, 2yo-inch, 3-inch, 3y2-inch and 4-inch pipe ought to supply, using hot water? F. M. L. Pipes less than li^-inch are seldom used as flow pipes or risers. The follow- ing table will show the amount of radia- tion a given size pipe will supply : " 1%-lnch pipe, 225 square feet radiation. 2 -Inch pipe, 400 square feet radiation. 2^-lnch pipe, 620 square feet radiation. 3 -Inch pipe, 900 square feet radiation. 3^-lnch pipe, 1,220 square feet radiation. 4 -Inch pipe, 1,660 square feet radiation. The above table is on a hot water basis. ^L. C. C. CONVERTIBLE SYSTEM. I have heard of changing from hot water to steam by simply taking out a part of the piping. Is it practicable to heat by steam through 2-inch pipes? My flows are 2-inch and 2 1/^ -inch and re- turn 2-inch. The longest run, from the boiler through the house and back to the boiler, is 250 feet. F. W. F. Yes, it is perfectly practicable to change from hot water to steam by re- ducing the amount of piping; in fact, many greenhouse plants are now being constructed on a Convertible basis; i. e., so as to use hot water during spring and fall, while a mild heat is required, and then, when severe weather sets in, to draw off the water, close the valve to the expansion tank and run the plant on a steam basis. Two-inch pipe is not the ideal for this plan, however, although it is a satisfactory size for hot water and can be used for steam. If you have suf- ficient radiation for mild weather and can work the plant on a convertible basis, place a few gate valves in the system, so as to cut out enough radiation to allow working it on a steam basis. It would be well to have the present radiation figured up and the changes necessary ac- curately determined before removing any piping. L. C. C. HOT WATER OR STEAM. I wish to know which will be the cheaper, to heat with soft coal and hot water or with hard coal and steam. Which will bring the best results in a rose house? Can you give the names of two of the best boilers, one for hot water and one for steam? M. E. A. It is impossible to decide your question without full information in regard to local conditions. I know you are in a soft-coal region and that soft coal or coke are available. The size of the plant IONIA FLOWER POTS WHEREVER USED.

As a general proposition, however, water is more satisfactory for small plants, say two or three houses 100 feet long, while steam is cheaper to install and more satisfactory for extensive plants. Hot water with hard coal costs less to manage, while steam with soft coal is dearer as regards time of fireman, but more satisfactory for extensive plants.

The house 20x31 should be provided with thirteen runs of 2-inch pipe the length of the house. This can be divided into two or three coils, each supplied by one 2-inch pipe. If three coils are used three of the thirteen pipes will be flow pipes, or if two coils are used two of the thir- teen pipes will be flow pipes. If the house has three benches with the piping under them, three coils will be most sat- isfactory. Use five pipes on the north side, four on the south and four under the center bench, making each coil inde- pendent of the others, except that they can all be taken off a common flow near the boiler and all empty into a common return. The house 20x24 should have eleven 2-inch pipes, arranged either on the side walls or under the benches as above described. Elevate the expansion tank just as much as possible; fifteen feet above the highest point in the system is good. L. C. C.

The Market It is rather too early to be able to go into details about the Christmas trade, but we can say that it certainly was good with everyone. Roses were exceedingly scarce. What there were on the market brought good prices for this city, about $15 per hun- dred for the best. Carnations arrived in larger quantities at the last moment than was at first expected, but still not enough to meet the demand. The stock was good and ranged in price from $5 to .$8 per hundred. Poinsettias went well at from $3 to $3.50 per dozen, wholesale. The grade of these beautiful flowers varies much. Some are grown right and keep remarkably well, while others look like a dishrag on a busy day. Many eastern violets are handled in Detroit, as well as many singles and some few doubles grown in this vicinity. The price for Christmas was $2.50 per hun- dred for either variety. Valley is prov- ing a good substitute for violets, and many thousands were sold. The price was $4 to $5 per hundred. Many orchids were also sold. Narcissi, daffodils, Ro- mans, sweet peas and a few stray mums completed the stock. Smilax is plenti- ful. Qub Meeting. The last meeting of the club was well attended considering the busy times. The paper by Robert Flowerday having been postponed until January, there was little done. Philip Breitmeyer held the floor for some time, giving a talk on Christ- mas preparations. He spoke mainly of the importance of keeping up prices. January 2 will be "Christmas trade discussion. ' ' Various Notes. George Leadley, formerly at 245 Wood- ward avenue, is defendant in a suit started by Louis Knauss to have a prop- erty trade declared void. Mr. Knauss says he exchanged a flat at Jefferson avenue and Riopelle street with Leadley for the latter 's business, but now wants his property back. He declares that the books were "fixed" to show net profits in 1905 of about $7,000 and charges that he was imposed upon. The business, he contends, is not now on a paying basis. Judge Hosmer has issued a temporary restraining order preventing Leadley from encumbering or disposing of the property. Mr. Knauss is a well-liked and respected German fellow citizen. When he bought Leadley out he placed his daughter, Mrs. C. P. Cox, in charge of the store. P. F.

At the very outset, however, and be- fore I approach the subject proper, namely, "Our Credit System; Its Uses and Abuses, ' ' I wish to premise my re- marks by paying a brief tribute to the members of our craft, scattered through- out this great American continent. It is no exaggeration to assert that there is no body of men more honor- able, more honest and straightforward, than our brother florists. It is a noteworthy fact, one scarcely requiring any proof, that during the panic of 1893, when business conditions were most deplorable, when the strin- gency of the money market and the gen- eral stagnation and business depression were most appalling in their conse- quences, when the professional calamity howlers and the unscrupulous demagogues aired their theories to their hearts' con- tent, thereby adding fresh oil to the al- ready kindled fire of fear and discontent, when the so called "first laws" of self- preservation began to assert themselves in a manner that brought disaster and financial ruin to many a business house; our brother florists, as a body, be it said to their everlasting glory and credit, put their shoulders to the wheel that much A paper read by S. S. Skldelsky. of Phila- delphia, before the Philadelphia Florists' Club, January 1, 1807. the harder, never thinking of joining the procession of bankrupts. It is an actual fact — and I challenge anybody to dis- prove it — that there were less failures, in proportion, among the florists, either compulsory or otherwise, than among any other body of business men. I could easily name a number of florists, who, during those memorable dark days, saw fit to deprive themselves and their fami- lies of things generally considered as absolute necessities, in order to meet their obligations. Men capable of such self-sacrifice, men possessed of such moral stamina, of such business integrity and honesty of pur- pose need not hesitate to inscribe their names upon the roll of honor. Perhaps Pope had some gardener in view when he said that "an honest man is the noblest work of God." Of course there are ex- ceptions, but of these later. That much for our honesty and business iutegrity. Our Credit System. Can we claim as much for our business methods, or, to be more exact, for our credit system, as compared with that of other progressive business men I Hardly. While it is true that we are keeping pace with the times in many other respects, while we are advancing steadily and un- interruptedly along lines of general prog- ress, increasing our facilities, moderniz- ing our stores and our greenhouses, im- proving our products, while we have been exchanging views and opinions as to the best methods of marketing our products, going even so far as to touch upon the ideal employer and employee; it haa ■■".flf ' '^1 472 The Weekly Florists' Review* Januauy 3, 1907. never occurred to us to consider seriously the means and ways and the best meth- ods of modernizing our credit system. A question of momentous importance to our own interests, strange to say, seems to have escaped our attention. Viewed from whatever standpoint and whatever arguments we may bring to bear upon who in years gone by had made his first start in life by building his first little greenhouse on a paltry few dollars, bor- rowed fr6m either friend or shark, stock- ing it with a few geraniums and other truck, obtained on credit from some reputable establishment or other? If we trace the history of the suc- The Poinsettia in this Style is One of the Best Sellers. the subject, it is undeniably true that our credit system is in its primitive state, lacking those sound, fundamental business principles which are at the basis of every sound financial or industrial institution. A Fundamental of Success. It is said of the late Marshall Field, the merchant prince of two generations, that his first step, at the very outset of his brilliant business career, was to es- tablish a sound credit system. A rule from which he never deviated and which, perhaps more than any other factor, was responsible for and contributed so largely towards his colossal fortune, was to col- lect his outstanding accounts and to meet his own obligations upon maturity. What is true of Marshall Field, the merchant prince, holds equally true of John Smith, once upon a time the strug- gling market gardener, whom we now see making rapid strides along the high- way of progress. The reason? Easily explained: "I pay as I go," says Mr. Smith, "and in order to be able to do this, I collect my own accounts promptly. ' ' Simple enough in itself, yet a rule of this sort seems to constitute the corner- stone, the very foundation of one 's suc- cess. Necessity of Oedit. * * To pay as one goes ' ' does not im- ply, however, spot csish transactions. Such a modus operandi is no longer tenable under our present business con- ditions. Nor is credit as such to be despised or condemned on general prin- ciples. On the contrary, credit, well regulated and judiciously used, is a blessing and a privilege that can scarcely be overestimated. Were it not for this privilege, I venture to say, there are many among us today who would never have achieved the success they enjoy. How often do we hear of the man. cessful florist of today, we can see at a glance that credit has in a large measure contributed towards his success. I say " in a large measure ' ' advisedly, because other qualifications, such as hard work, perseverance, will-power and energy, were of equal importance as a means to his successful business career. I reiterate, credit is a privilege that is not to be despised by any business man, no matter how conservative in his enter- prise or how determined to steer clear of debt. Credit Inspired by G}nfidence. Broadly speaking, it is credit, inspired by confidence and backed by enterprise, that is responsible for the remarkable development of our natural resources — the wonder of the world. It is credit in- spired by confidence, that is accountable for the prosperity which we enjoy today. Credit has been the means of launching many a successful industry, giving em- ployment to hundreds and thousands of men. Credit has been the means of en- abling many an individual to stem the tide of adversity and to rise to affluence and wealth. The struggling market gar- dener of a few years ago would have never, perhaps, become the successful grower of today if it were not for that blessed privilege — credit. I will go fur- ther and say that credit has been the means whereby most of our modern, mammoth greenhouse establishments have come into existence. Credit, coupled with hard work, energy and business integrity, has made it pos- sible for the enterprising man of today to achieve his success in much less time than it took the florist of a generation sgo> by tl*© slow "pay as you go" process in its literal sense. We are pro- gressing, so to speak, in a geometrical ratio, by leaps and bounds, as it were, no longer satisfied to let well enough alone, no longer content, like the immor- tal Micawber, to wait until something turns up. We must create our own op- portunities and we are doing it to our heart 's content, thanks to that blessed privilege — credit. If there is anything to be turned up we are generally inclined to take a hand in the turning process ourselves. We seem to realize that faint heart never won success; hence, fear and hesitation no longer keep us in check. If we are determined to "get there" it is seldom, indeed, that we fail in our object. But e ^ 'if. '% ^^^j r r, ■"* y Cv^^l M X Vi .^1 ?1 * > TIM > k - ^ ij)i ^■- ^ji ^\/j/ HIR*^-«r*;-- How Sam Murray, Kansas City, Sent Out His 8-inch Lorratnes at Christmas. January 3, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 473 all good things have their limitations and what is beneficial or wholesome in some cases often produces the contrary effect in others. The Abase of Oedit. Assuming that credit, well regulated and judiciously used, is a privilege that the strictly honorable and enterprising business man cannot fail to ma!ke the most of, it becomes an absolute menace, often to a whole business community, when placed at the disposal of the un- scrupulous trickster. To illustrate my idea: I know of a florist in the west, doing a thriving business, who seems to take especial delight in defrauding his creditors. He buys everything in or out of sight, in Holland, Belgium or New Jersey, throwing his goods on the mar- ket at prices, compared with which, those «f his legitimate competitors seem pro- hibitory. Here is a case of credit misapplied, the result proving detrimental not only to the man sustaining a direct loss, but to the florists in the immediate vicinity, as well. I will cite another case. There is a florist in one of the middle states, who makes it a practice to order every new seedling carnation in sight. Unlike the careful, ultraeonservative grower who pays his bills and who, as a matter of course, wants to know something about the variety offered, the man I speak of, orders indiscriminately on the principle of "something to gain and nothing to lose," never paying for the stock. The season following, he offers rooted cuttings at a reduced price, underselling the very man he victimized, thus doing him a double injury. And yet, despite such instances, and I could cite many others, and despite the fact that trick- sters, under the assumed name of flo- rists, are encroaching upon the legitimate trade in a manner most injurious to our common interests; in our anxiety to outdo our competitors, to swell our vol- ume of business we are inclined to take chances; we fail to discriminate, to draw the line most rigorously, as it needs to be drawn, between those worthy of our confidence and those who should be black- listed in letters so large and conspicuous, that he who runs may read. And right here I wish to be under- stood, that I am in no wise reflecting upon the honor of those, who through no fault of their own, but owing to adverse business conditions or unforeseen cir- cumstances, were compelled to liquidate their affairs as best they could ; in other words, to fail in their business. Such men deserve our sincere sympathy and it behooves us as men, and as members of a noble craft, to do all within our power to aid them. Run the Rascals Out. It is the scamp, not the unfortunate victim of circumstances, the man (God save the name) who lays his trap for the unsuspecting Hollander, who scans the trade papers and picks his victims to suit his own nefarious designs; it is a fellow of this sort, I say, that deserves our unqualified censure and our utmost condemnation. Aside from the moral element involved, and, aside from the fact that scoundrel- ism should be discouraged on general principles, we must view the situation from the standpoint of self-interest, of self-protection. It is a duty which we owe to ourselves, to our fellow-members, to the community at large, to turn the I'ascals down and out. It is high time. An Anniversary Basket of Plants* indeed, that we realize the situation as it affects our common interests. Often the misdeeds of one miscreant will re- flect upon the honor of the innocent. It is but human nature to profit by ex- perience. If John has victimized us, it is not likely that we will place our im- plicit tnist and confidence in Tom, not- withstanding the fact that the latter means us no harm. It is in instances of this sort where credit not only ceases to be a blessing and a privilege, but it becomes an abso- lute curse; and the sooner we realize it and the sooner we devise some means and ways whereby to put an end to such abominable practices, the better for all concerned. Our trade papers can and should help us to accomplish this worthy object, for there is no means more ef- fective, there is no weapon more power- ful than the press. Under the glare of its far-reaching searchlight, human rats invariably go under cover. If credit is a privilege, that privilege must not be abused. Fortunately, however, such men, the black sheep in our fold, are but in the minority and need not he considered in connection with our credit system, as practiced by the rank and file, the men whose honesty and honorable intentions are beyond reproach, who meet their ob- ligations in the long run. Obligations of Debtors. A few weeks ago I happened to meet a fellow-traveler, representing a western crockery concern, who, in the course of our conversation, said to me, ' ' The flo- rists are awfully slow pay. While other business men will either pay upon matur- ity, or else will write to the house and ask for an extension of time, the florists, as a rule, do neither; statements, letters and drafts seem to have no effect upon them. Eventually, of course, they pay, but they do so to suit their own con- venience, regardless of conditions or terms. ' ' r no,pd hardly add that there is a deal of truth in these remarks and that the man knew whereof he spoke. As a mat- ter of fact, and I say it without any fear or reservation, in the majority of cases, terms are honored more in the breach than in the observance. To be sure, the average florist means well, he means to pay his bills — some time. He has good intentions; but, and here comes the rub, good intentions never were and never will be a negotiable asset. Good intentions can never pay an account. A book full of * ' good inten- tions " is no more effective and can no more sustain the stability of a business house, than a prayer of Dowie, for ex- ample, can stay the ravages of an incur- able disease. Like prayer, good inten- tions are good enough in their place, but in this matter-of-fact world, unless backed by something tangible, something negotiable, good intentions are of no particular consequence. 474 The Weekly Florists' Revfew* JANUABY 3, 1907. It seems to me, and I say it without any fear or reservation, that some of the best men in our business have but a mis- taken idea as to the duties and obliga- tions they owe to a business house. Just because they see fit to patronize a busi- ness house it does not necessarily follow that they have the right to ignore the business terms, as laid down by that house. I do not mean to convey the idea that I am an advocate of ironclad rules, that none but strict conditions should govern all business transactions transpiring be- tween buyer and seller. On the con- trary, I believe in liberal business meth- ods. I believe in liberal business terms. I hold that any man, worthy of credit, is entitled to all due consideration and liberal treatment, but I likewise believe that privileges of this sort should not be abused. Resolutions of G-edit Men. Assuming, for the sake of argument, that such a thing as a committee of credit men, appointed by, and acting un- der the direct supervision of the Society of American Florists were possible; assuming furthermore, that such a com- mittee had the power to act, to pass judgment and to lay down rules and regulations in all matters pertaining to our business or credit system; would it not appeal to each and every one of us, if this committee saw fit to pass a resolution — something of the following order? First. Eesolved, that no business house is worthy of patronage unless it manifests a liberal spirit towards its patrons. Second. Eesolved, that no business house need or dare expect the good will of any florist in good standing, unless it good standing reserves the right to exact the most liberal terms possible, but, when once agreed upon, such terms are to be honored, not in the breach, but in the observance, and Fifth. Be it further resolved, that if any florist finds himself in strained cir- cumstances and is not able to meet his obligations in due time, such florist is obliged to write and explain matters to his creditors, said creditors to make all due allowances and to show all due con- sideration aa the case might warrant. The Florist and the **Four Hundred." One of our greatest shortcomings in the regulation of our credit system, it seems to me, Ues in the fact of our very loose methods in dealing with the "four hundreds" of our towns.. It is a matter* of record that society folks, while in no- wise backward in following the dictates of fashion, are decidedly so in paying their flower bills. It is not unusual to hear that, Mr. So-and-So, a prominent man about town, occupying a magnificent mansion, driving fast horses, or a $5,000 automobile, has not paid his flower bill since "June, a year ago." Nor is it out of the ordinary to learn that Mme. Blanc, who gave Mr. Florist a carte blanche order some ten months ago, has left for the seashore, the moun- tains, or for Europe without giving her flower bill the least thought. "Of course," Mr. Florist tells us, "the money is good, and it won't do at all to send a second bill, much less to press for a settlement." Mr. So-and-So or Madame Blanc might feel offended. No, it won't do at all! Then, there is another reason to be considered. There is a competitor around the corner who is just looking for the W^hite Form of the Lorraine Begonia in a 6-inch Pot. shows consideration for and a good will of its own towards its patrons. Third. Resolved, that no florist is en- titled to credit and to all advantages ac- cruing therefrom, unless he realizes the need of paying heed to statements, of answering business letters and of honor- ing drafts. Fourth. Eesolved, that any florist of chance of carrying such accounts on his books for one or two years. A Serious Question. That our credit system is defective, antiquated and out of accord with our present business conditions is self-evident and need not be dwelt upon at greater length here. Nor is it my object to sug- gest any new methods to you or to point out the remedy. I submit this question to your own good judgment and sin- cerely hope that you may give it your earnest and serious consideration. It is a question that concerns us all alike, the wholesaler as well aa the retailer, the man who has already made his start in life as well as the young man who bends all his energies and all his ingenuity towards that end. Philadelphia, the horticultural center of the United States, a city whence so many good things have sprung in the past, is preeminently fit to take up the work of reform. And this is a most op- portune time to undertake a work of this sort. Our national society meets here in August. There are many good things in store for us, we may be sure of that. Some may tell us something about the* ideal gardener or employer, some about conducting our stores, others about oper- ating our greenhouses with profit.

Again the holiday time, with its hurry and anxieties, its successes or failures, is over and as you settle back to the regu- lar routine work it is well, ere you go to planning for the coming season, to take time to go carefully over your records of cuts, sales, prices received, kinds sold, when the largest crops were on, etc.; in fact, all the different items that, taken together, go to make the complete record by which you can judge of your success or failure, and where you can improve in your methods, where you have made failures or partial successes. Do you find that your records are not complete enough, laclang in one or more things that you would like to know? Then make a New Year's resolve to rectify this and commence at once to keep a record of every item, so that you will have it at your next review, a year hence. You see that it is none too early to make this general review of facts, for before you hardly realize it, it will be time to be starting your new stock for next season, and unless you have looked these matters over thoroughly, you will not know which is your most profitable variety, or where your best stock is, or what kind sells best, grows best, etc. Violets in Pots. Besides having your regular house or houses full for cutting, did you have some nice plants in pots, well established and in full bloom, for the holiday trade? I do not know what your experience may have been, but we have never found anything better than the Lady Hume Campbell for this work, as it stands a ||p«piWI^|| <#^ <#^ <#K <#H f^^ V^ <<^ <<^'^JWi<^^'^^'^^<»^^<^^'^^'^^<<^<»^ THE RETAIL FLORIST, V*^ Ht^ *iit^ ^yc^ i<>> "U^ 'k^%<^'it^'k^^hb»>^M^'Mf»>^Mf»>'tfe»>^Mf»>^yf»»>fel? CHRISTMAS PLANTS. The Christmas trade has served to bring out agsdn, and perhaps more clearly than ever, that flowering plants have as- sumed an impregnable position, even if they have not taken the leading place in holiday sales. From all parts of the countiy the report is that more plants were offered than ever before and that the buyers in a large proportion of cases chose them in preference to cut flowers. One of the principal reasons for the popularity of plants no doubt is their cheapness by comparison with the Christmas prices of cut stock, and an- other is the fact that the least enduring of our blooming plants vrill outlast the freshest of cut flowers, but another, and probably the strongest reason for their steady advance in popular favor, is the splendid quality of the plants now of- fered and the marked improvement in the way in which they are shown in the stores. The most unappreciative could not fail to approve the artistic taste now quite commonly shown in the filling of baskets and hampers, in the harmonious blending or contrasting of colors of flowers, foliage and embellishments. Add to the foregoing the undoubted fact that retailers who must look to whole- sale markets for at least a part of the Christmas cut flowers can make a better percentage of profit on plants than on cut flowers, and naturally push them, and you have the whole secret of the wonderful development of the holi- day business in flowering plants. The character of the plants and plant arrangements most salable at Christmas varies with the character of the stores in which they are offered for sale. In the places where 50 cents a dozen is the price above which carnations cease to move freely it is useless to offer Lorraine begonias, but still this was the most popular plant in high-class stores, and some magnificent stock was seen. More and more growers are learning how to handle this plant and the output of finely shaped, profusely flowered plants in- creases each year. Ardisias were more than usually abundant this year, at mod- erate wholesale prices, and sold well at retail. It is notable that while many stores had cut poinsettias for which there was no call, few had enough of the pans of low, wide-headed plants. These also were in demand as table centerpieces all through the holiday season and will be still more largely grown next year. The azalea is not so valuable a plant at Christmas as at Easter; in buyers* minds it seems to be associated with the lily as an Easter flower. 476 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 3, 1007. Among cheaper plants, those that any one with glass can provide for himself, are cyclamens, solanums, primroses and the like. These all sold well. Mention must not be forgotten of boxwood.

Coddin£ton, Murray Hill* N. J. pensive and better known araucaria. Plants above fifteen or eighteen inches high were not so readily salable as the smaller specimens, although the price was lower considering the ratio at which prices of other plants increase with size. The boxwood is unsalable unless deco- rated. With a dull, unglazed Pompeian pot nothing more is needed than a bow of holly-red ribbon. Others used the or- dinary flower pot and covered it with a red Porto Rican mat tied with ribbon. In general the embellishment of plants this season was after a saner fashion than in earlier years of the plant vogue. No pot was permitted to be seen on any plant ready for delivery, but the beauty of the specimen was not obscured by fold upon fold of wrapping as was once the misguided idea of good work. The cheaper plants were sent out with a sim- ple pot-cover of crepe paper. As the price of the plant advanced more ex- pensive pot-covers were used and red ribbon was added. In the leading stores the best things were baskets and hamp- ers filled with flowering plants, with enough of the things grown for their foliage, as adiantum, to aiford green or colored foliage where needed. These rep- resented a selling price of from $8 to $25, but where a dozen Beauties cost as much afforded good value in the pur- chaser's eyes.

The grower must be sort of a gambler — willing to take a long chance and put a theory into practice to uphold his personal views. Being determined to get at the bot- tom of the wide house question, I visited L. B. Coddington 's range, at Murray Hill, N. J., where, along with five three- quarter-span cypress houses, each IS^^x 350 feet, he has two 400-footers, iron- frame, one thirty-seven and a half feet wide, and his last one fifty-five feet wide. He looked like the right man to talk wide house to, because he had tried the narrow, the wider and the widest and stood in a position to make comparisons. Mr. Coddington has always been in the fose business and in addition to this range at Murray Hill, owns another at New Providence, N. J., of 62,000 square feet of glass area. He is one of those wiry, hustling sort of men who dig right into things — believes in spending money to save money — is familiar with the vari- ous constructions and houses of any im- portance all over the country; has tried erecting his own houses and having it done by the builder — he stands in a posi- tion to know things, and he does — knows them in a quiet, unassuming way that carries its own convincement. What Mr. Coddington and his wide-awake foreman told me about this last house, erected by Hitchings & Co., I want you to know. I want you to know the thoroughness with which this house was thought out and built, the superiority of the iron- frame construction and the advantages of the wide house. "In general terms, how do you like your big house?" I asked Mr. Codding- ton. * * Like it in every way, ' ' he re- plied, "and it's a satisfaction to know that such a construction gives us all pos- sible light, that the eave Une, with its metal plate and glazing bar bracket, make an indestructible joint of great strength and give a freedom from ice; that because of the framing's absolute rigidity and the care with which expan- sion and contraction have been taken care of, the glass breakage is practically nothing. This last house of ours has thoroughly convinced me that 400 feet is about the right length for economy in working and freedom from the compli- cated heating problems of the extremely long ones, which need expensive anchor- ing of heating pipes and all that sort of thing." "What is the height of the ridge ?"^ "Let me see, the sides are six feet, with ridge twenty-two feet. You see that gives us a big volume of air up there that, when once heated, is a pro- tection against sudden changes and pre- serves a more uniform temperature and humidity. ' ' "What is all this talk about better ventilation ? ' ' "It's absolutely true, the fresh air is more evenly distributed because there 's more air for its distribution, and when it does reach the plants, it's thoroughly warmed up and acts like an insulation against chills."

J. comes in, for your men can shut down the sash in about half the time it takes to run up and down three small houses covering the same space. ' ' ' * Now, tell me about your benching. ' ' ' ' Well, the house runs east and west at a perfect level, but with an inside rise of two and a half feet from south to north. Then, the first bench . is only sixteen inches in height and each follow- ing bench is two inches higher, making the back one thirty-two inches. Taking this in connection with the two and a half feet of floor rise, each bench is about five inches higher than its south- erly neighbor. During the shortest day you can stoop to the edge of the bench on the farthest walk and always see the sun. Then, you understand, the highest bench is perfectly easy to work without any elevation of the walk or the mighty unhandy way of straddling from bench to bench in making your cuts." "Let's see, how many benches are there?" "Nine, three feet eleven inches wide, with ten walks each twenty-two inches wide. Four plants to a bench are all that can be worked to advantage and I believe thoroughly in the side w^k; you make up in quality what you possibly lose in quantity — and that's another thing strongly in favor of the wide house. The quality certainly is better — and quality is what we fight for." "Twelve thousand plants, eh! " I said. "It must take a lot of wiring?" "About eleven miles — more than I'd care to walk this cold day. "The heating is steam — the gravity system. You see all these houses are connected with center passages and the 8-inch mains and 5-inch returns are in trenches right through them. There are two 11/4 -inch pipes under each bench, two flows under one bench, two returns un- der the next lower, and four 1^4 -inch pipes hanging on each side of the house. ' ' "Do you think the large house is cheaper to heat?" Here the foreman chimed in emphatically. "Decidedly. We haven't figured it out on a percentage basis, but here is a comparison: When there are two pipes on the 181/4-foot house, then by the same token there should be four on the 37%- f oot house and six on the 55-foot, but we only run three on the 37i/{>-foot and four on this." "How do we account for it? Well," said Mr. Coddington, "there isn't so much outdoors about the big house and then there's that big volume of heatecf air up there, and as I said before, once heated up it is easy enough to keep up. Yes, there is a great economy and con- venience in working one of these large houses, to my mind that's one of the strongest points. ' ' Now you must see the workroom, we wanted it as near fireproof as possible. The siding is plaster board with a peb- ble-dash finish on the outside and this floor is made with iron beams and brick arches between, the whole thing cemented over. Another time we would make a solid concrete floor and no bricks. Tn the boiler-cellar these concrete walls were built right in the trenches without any framing, and then the cellar dirt dug out. An experiment, but it worked and saved all that expense of framing a mould. ' ' Yes, we are in every way satisfied with the construction of that big house. The firm that erected it knows its busi- ness and understands putting things through, as well as being pleasant to deal with. You can put me down as a firm believer in the iron-frame house, the wide house. But the next time you come, remember you are to take lunch with us.' Leddra Wood. CARNATION NOTES.- VEST. Care of Young Stock. In speaking of the soil to use for pot- ting the young carnation plants, I urged you to always bear in mind that noth- ing should be considered too good for them, but that they should be given every advantage possible. The same thought should be in your mind when you select the bench to set the pots on. When obliged to throw out a lot of the blooming plants to make room for them, one is apt to throw out those that are the least promising, or those that have done the least in the past, regardless of what may have been the reason for the failure. The point is this: While of course it would seem unwise to throw out a bunch of plants that are in good condition and to keep a lot that are in a bad way, yet if the reason for the fail- ure was poor light and poor ventilation, then it would be wiser to vacate the good bench to make room for the young plants. It would be folly to set the young plants on a bench that is so situated that it failed to grow good blooms. The young plants should have a bench that gets all the sunlight there is to be had and good ventilation. These are the two elements that promote a sturdy growth. If you discard blooming plants to make/ room, don 't fail to take out the soil and place in the bottom of the bench an^ch of clean sand to set the pots on. To leave the soil in and set the pots on it is a lazy man's way. The drainage will be imperfect and bye and bye, when the roots fill the pots, they will go through the bottoms into the soil and a quick, soft growth will result, a bad con- dition to get your plants into. Set the pots in straight rows across the bench and place the label the same as you do in the propagating bench. Be sure the first watering penetrates to the bottom of the pot. If your potting soil was in the right state of moisture, filling the pots with water once will be suffi- cient, but examine them and make sure. After that water only when needed to keep the soil from getting too dry. Be careful not to overwater them until the roots have worked through the soil in ail directions. Shade from the sun for a few days to prevent wilting. You will have to be guided by the condition of the cuttings in regard to how long to con- tinue shading them. Varieties that grow soft and fleshy take longer to catch hold than the wiry ones and you must shade as long as the sun wilts them. Four to six days is the usual time and in some cases a couple of days longer, during a few hours in mid-day. Look them over every day and water the dry spots with a can. You will find that where they are close to a steam pipe and where the sun r7. 478 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Jan CART 8, 1907. strikes them most directly they will dry out in spots and will need water perhaps every day, while at other spots water may not be needed more than once in three days or more. This is important and should not be neglected. Any spot that will require watering more than once each day is not fit for a young carnation plant, or any other plant for that matter. Later on, how- ever, when the sun becomes quite warm, more watering will be needed, and, in many cases, twice a day may be neces- sary. By plunging the pots in the sand slightly this can be partly overcome, but more sand will be required on the bench. Sand that has been used for propagating makes splendid material for this use ex- cept in case it may be full of cutting bench fungus. In that case it should not be used in the greenhouse in any way at all. Be careful that you do not mix your varieties, of which there is always more or less danger when handling the young plants. One young plant mixed in an- other variety now, may mean a dozen or more plants the next season and may be the cause of no end of trouble. A. F. J. Baur. SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Every few years pleasing variations of form, or color, or type occur in the chrysanthemum, which serve to rejuve- nate the interest in the flower, and, just at present, it would seem that it is the single varieties that are coming into popular favor. The singles are not a new type, but it is only within the last year or two that they have been greatly improved and brought into the limelight. The Keview, a week or two ago, mem- tioned the great interest being taken in the singles in England and there is abun- dant evidence that this interest is also spreading along the eastern states of our own country, good exhibits having been made at several of the fall shows. The big fellows will always have their admirers and the singles in no way en- croach on their domain. As soon might one say that Paper Gontier will supplant American Beauty in the rose section, as to say that the single varieties will dis- place the giant exhibition sorts. But the singles have a place and satisfy for a time the longing for variety and change that, like hope, seems to "spring eternal in the human breast." We now have in the single varieties every shade of color found in the other types and not a few unusual shapes. Some varieties, notably Edith Pegram, have two well defined rings of color in the flower, and in others the contrast be- tween the eye, or disc, and the petals is striking and beautiful, the pure white varieties often having a golden yellow eye, the yellow kinds showing a large green eye, and so on. The flowers of one variety I grew this year, Cecil Denyer, are the exact repre- sentation of a cactus dahlia, while an- other, Dorothy Fortescue, produced flowers that, saving for color, are an ex- act representation of the flower of the poinsettia. Some of the varieties are de- liciously scented, so mucli so, in fact, that bees were a nuisance in the houses where the plants were in flower. While the flowers would get damaged, more or less, if grown entirely outside in the northern states, yet I think that there is an immense stretch of country where they will do finely and produce a wonderful wealth of color without any protection whatever. It will, however, be as pot plants that singles wUl find most favor in the north- ern markets. So grown they are very beautiful and can be used in any kind of a decoration with telling effect. I have been asked whether they can be used for cut flower work, and I answer most as- suredly, yes. Grown in a bench they can be cut in long, graceful sprays which cities and their decorative value will then be fully established. Some of the most effective varieties as they grew with me were as follows: white, Gertrude, Nancy Perkins, Harold Shaw, and Miss T. C. Warden; yellow, Sir George Bullough, Kitty Bourne, Pre- toria, Arthur Thome and Golden Star; pinks, Mrs. E, Roberts, Edith Pegram, F. W. Smith, Ladysmith, Mrs. Ferguson and Herbert Henderson. Of odd colors there are several fine ones: Kev. W. E. Renfrey, crimson maroon; Crown Jewel, bronze; Earlswood Beauty, primrose; Felix, a very large, crimson bronze; J. T. Angus, deep cerise; Mrs. BaUlie, chestnut, and Mary Richardson, deep salmon. When they are better known, many a florist will find them money-makers, and, particularly, those florists who retail the stock they grow direct on the establish- ment, as they sell themselves if people can see them growing naturally.

If they are stored under the benches they are placed in the coolest houses, near the edge of the walk, where they re- ceive some light. The amount of water given and the extent to which they are pushed depends upon the season the cut- tings are desired. The aim always is to secure close-jointed, thick-stemmed, stocky root sprouts for cuttings at the proper season. A stocky root sprout two or three inches long is very close to the ideal mum cutting. L. C. C. SOOETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Executive Committee Appointments. The official year of the Society of American Florists begins January 1. President W. J. Stewart has announced the appointment of Samuel Murray, of Kansas City, and J. K. L. M. Farquhar, of Boston, as members of the executive committee to succeed Theodore Wirth and H. H. Eitter, whose terms expired De- cember 31. Mr. Wirth had previously been reappointed by Mr. Kasting to suc- ceed P. J. Hauswirth, who resigned as a member of the executive committee a few days before taking office as secretary. The executive committee therefore now is constituted as follows: One year, E. V. Hallock, Queens, N. Y.; W. H. Elliott, Brighton, Mass.; two years, F. H. Traendly, New York City; Theodore Wirth, Minneapolis; three years, Samuel Murray, Kansas City; J. K. M. L. Far- quhar, Boston. Of the new appointees, Samuel Murray is the only retail florist on the board. He is one of the best known florists in the country, for his thorough business methods and for his progressive conserv- atism, as well as for the large volume of his trade and the originality and fine artistic taste displayed in all his work. It may well be said that he is an example of what a retail florist should be, a leader, not only of the craft west of the Mississippi, but of the whole country as well. Mr. Murray has been a frequent attendant at the S. A. F. conventions, but his characteristic modesty is such that his name seldom has appeared in the reports of discussions; he ever has been more ready to listen to the opinions of others than to voice his own. His counsel will be of utmost value to the society. J. K. M. L. Farquhar is a member of the firm of R. & J. Farquhar & Co., seedsmen. He is intimately acquainted with those in all departments of the trade in the east because of his mainy lec- ture tours among them. Mr. Farquhar is widely traveled, has visited every coun- try of the globe where things of horti- cultural interest may be seen. Dozens of times a year he is called upon to deliver one or another of his illustrated lectures before the horticultural societies or flo- rists' clubs of the east. He is a life member of the S. A. F. NEV BEGONIAS. In a European contemporary's account of a visit to the establishment of James Veitch & Son, Chelsea, near London, we find the following interesting note on new begonias: The great attraction at Feltham just now is found in a number of the smaller span-roofed houses devoted to winter- flowering begonias. The majority of the Samuel Murray. Veitchian group of winter-flowering be- gonias have been raised as a result of crossing Begonia socotrana with a tuber- ous variety, and it is with this section we are for the present most concerned. Now that Begonia Gloire de Lorraine is so commonly grown and so easily man- aged, the womler is that these larger- flowered varieties with single or semi- double blooms in various shidea of pink, rose and bright carmine do not figure more largely. Several capable gardeners who have paid special attention to the habit of the plants, who have remembered these are neither wholly tuberous or fibrous-rooted, and who have not over- potted or over-watered them on the one hand, nor absolutely dried them otf on the other, have found no real cultural difficulties, but they have been rewarded by fine displays of plants during the winter. We venture to predict that, ere long, this race of winter-flonerirg be- gonias will become almost as popular as B. Gloire de Lorraine and its varieties. Meantime those who wish to grow some- thing equally as good and less common than the latter should try the following varieties: "The earliest to flower is John Heal, a variety of neat habit, and that carries a profusion of light carmine-rose colored single flowers. Either in 3-inch pots, for table decoration, or in larger size for vases or for the conservatory, this is a famous plant, and it has the unusual merit of holding its flowers until they shrivel; the blooms do not drop even un- der the influence of fog or gaslight. Mrs. Heal has larger flowers, and is one of the brightest of the set, its blossoms being rich carmine tinged with orange. Julius is remarkably free, and a taller grower than the foregoing, and its semi- (louble flowers of a charming pink shade are suggestive of oleander blossoms. Winter Perfection has flatter flowers than Julius, and these are of a deeper and rosy pink hue; it is a fine plant and flowers freely. Ensign has carmine- colored flowers, and these stand well when cut. Ideala is ons of the earlier va- rieties, and so also is Success; both have rosy carmire flowers, but are quite dis- tinct. ' ' Two other begonias of considerable m?rit are B. Agatha and B. Agatha com- pacta. These are more nearly akin to B. Gloire dp I>orraine, but of more com- pact habit, exceptionally free flowering, rather brighter color, and with bright yellow anthers and stamens. The former 480 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 3, 1907. was raised by crosging B. socotrana with B. Nuttalense. ' ' The work of raising new varieties proceeds steadily, and we were shown a small batch of a new seedling in which the flowers were large, single and of a «oft orange shade. For its color alone this is a most desirable addition, while as a parent it will probably be of special value and interest." CATTLEYA LABIATA CANDIDA. Cattleya labiata var. Candida is a beautiful and attractive variety which flowered in Julius Roehrs Co. 's large col- lection of orchids in October of this year, among a lot of semi-established plants. It is a vigorous specimen, con- sidering that the leading bulb gave two succeeding leads in sheath, of which one was in floAver at the time the photograph was taken, giving four flowers on one spike. The second sheath, which flow- ered three weeks later, threw three more flowers on one spike, the plant being es- tablished in a 5% -inch pot. Sepals and petals are almost pure white. Jt is a finely shaped flower, with a splendidly tinged purple lip in the back part of the throat. Several other splendid varieties were in flower at the same time, such as Cat- tleya labiata var. Mrs. Julius Eoehrs, also a fine form of this useful species of orchid, which was exhibited in Boston this fall, at the Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society's chrysanthemum show. Thomas Knight. grees to 58 degrees at night, with a day temperature ranging from 65 degrees to 80 degrees, according to intensity of sun- shine. Being of quick growth they should al- ways have plenty of space on the bench to insure a free circulation of air among the foliage and so secure a stocky growth. ElBES. HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. I wish to plant a few hundred hybrid perpetual and climbing field-grown roses into pots for counter trade next spring. What time should I plant them to have them in bud and bloom by Memorial day? I will have to buy the dormant plants and wish to know if it will injure them if frozen in transit. L. M. B. PROPAGATING BEAUTIES. Owing to the large foliage and extra size of the cuttings. Beauty cuttings re- quire mere room in the bench than most other varieties. Because of the large foli- age, unless they are set widely apart they retain the moisture too long, causing spot and. rotting the leaves. Wherever these leaves overlap the foliage will be- come yellow and, in consequence, be of no more use to the cutting. For this reason great care must be exercised in watering, syringing and ventilating so that the foliage may be entirely dry be- fore night. To preserve the leaves on Beauty cut- tings requires constant care and watch- fulness, particularly as regards the tem- perature of the sand and house, as cut- tings which have lost their foliage, al- though they may be nursed along and grown into presentable plants, never pos- sess that vitality so essential to success- ful Beauty culture. A temperature of 62 •degrees in the sand with a house temper- ature of 52 degrees to 54 degrees will cause a good root formation in twenty- eight or thirty days without in the least impairing the vitality of the plants or •causing them to shed their leaves. The foliage being large and requiring a fair supply of water to keep it fresh, should also for the first ten days, or un- til the callus has formed, be shaded from intense sunshine, after which the shading can be entirely removed. No delay should take place after the roots have formed until they are potted as this rose, above all others, being of such a rank growing nature, if checked at this stage will scarcely ever recover suflBciently to make a plant fit for bench- ing. After being potted the young plants should be placed where they will have plenty of air and light and should be watered until the soil in the pots is uni- formly moist. This can only be deter- mined by turning a few out of the pots and examining the balls. If the weather is bright they should be shaded from bright sunshine until root action has recommenced, when the shad- ing should be entirely removed. They succeed well in a temperature of 56 de- It is a pity you did not think of this last November, when the nurserymen were digging their field-grown roses. Then you could have potted them and had them down outdoors, covering pots and tops with three or four inches of soil, a plan which we entirely believe in. Now the ground is frozen this is not so easy, for, outside, it will be diflBcult to find any dry soil for covering. It is frozen one day and mud the next. Order your plants at once; and here I must answer the question about freezing: It will do no harm if the tops of these roses should be frozen. We know the hybrid perpetual roses and Eamblers are subjected to zero weather during the winter, without harm, and the roots, or rather the soil around them is often tight, but when dry the roots should never be frozen. There are many trees and shrubs, perfectly hardy, the roots of which must often freeze solid during winter; but they are in a natural state, gradually and naturally thawing out, and receive no harm. But it is quite a dif- ferent condition when the roots are de- prived of their natural element, the soil, and then exposed to frost. Nurserymen, I know, are particular Caltleya Labiaia Var. Gindida.

The hybrid porpetuals will want to be cut down to within six inches of the pot, but you need not do this till you see the eyes swell, when you can tell better just how high or low to prune them. The Ramblers will not want any pruning except to shorten back the ends of the unripencd tops of the canes. Pot firmly and the first two weeks under glass syringe frequently. W. S. HOLLYHOCKS. History of the Flower. Some little time ago I had the pleas- ure of inspecting the cultivation of hol- lyhocks in their latest and most im- proved form at the nurseries of Messrs. Webb & Brand, Saffron Walden, Eng- land; although I had seen double holly- hocks grown for some years, the named sorts in these luirseries were a great sur- prise and source of gratification to me. As is well known, these nurseries are famed, and enjoy a higher reputation for hollyhocks than any other horticul- tural concern. Hollyhocks became asso- ciated with Saffron Walden nearly a hundred years ago, through the efforts of the local shoemaker, who cultivated them, hybridized and raised new vari- eties. It a{)pears that two double forms, and two only, had been known to culti- vation for 300 years before this shoe- maker commenced to cross these two, and raise other double forms. After a time the local seedsman, Wm. Chater, became interc'^ted in this amateur's work, and there we have the origin of Chater 's improved double hollyhocks, known to every horticulturist. Pub- lishing his first catalogue of named va- rieties in 1S47, he yearly added improved sorts until about 1873, when the holly- hock fungus niarop:igatcd by nieaiis of cuttings, grafting, budding, ami by seed, the three former methods reqniring the old plants to be wintered under ginss. but these processes simply propngatexi^> . ■ ^ S^ • ^H^^^^^Bk. ^/y... ^1^^ t wKr ^^s^^^"^ / ^ H ^^^^^^^ fl^fffis^ ^ V^iIbbP^ - ''t'^'^, '^ ^ i ^F^bibS. ^ltIE'^^^Iil <.'>"^^'^P*^'^»c.^fciY '^-' m. ^Bj^djjjj^k %w^ Jp^ ^j^^ 4HBI?A I' mx >m W>^ hF^IIi JPc^sl^'^-^^^^^ k^^ •\1l HjjHV^f Hf^^f'5P**^^^B^^^B^^f^B^fci '^z ^^Brr-^^''% y*' a^-^'i \ . ■k..'jak 1^^ ^^v^"' ^S^^^ Jf^m^ ^mJI^^^I^E. ^.^flj^ " * • 1»^; IPS&^- ■ .^ ■-. * "^fe^'j \ ^gfe^ 1 * • ^L r^^W i m r Basket Arranged by J.

During the months of May and .lune. if the weather is fa voraVile, it will soon germinate and form fine single taproot. When this gets the size of a cedar pencil the plants an- slightly raised and thi.s tayunot severed. This pro<-(>ss will cause the jilant to form a large (|uanlity of surface fibers, when it will at once grow and make large base lea\es.

MacArthur, may afford interest to our readers.

FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. 520-40 Caxton Bldg. Chicago eral dwarf stocks of the dog rose with the variety Eichmond, standing in care- fully prepared land. The plants were not attacked by mildew this year, from which fact it must not be inferred that it is mildew-proof. There is great simi- larity between the flowers of Eichmond and Ijberty, and the growth of the for- mer is more vigorous than of the latter. As regards floriferousness these two are about equal. Breeders of roses have in recent years been endeavoring to raise hybrid teas with blooms equalling our dark, velvety hybrid perpetuals, or at the least closely resembling these, but this aim has been as little reached in Bichmond as in Lib- erty. Of all the new varieties which have as yet been brought into commerce, Etoile de France comes nearest to this ideal. It is a fuller bloom than either, is certainly a stronger grower, and it produces flowers continuously till stopped by frost; the color is dark and texture velvety. As an early forcer Eichmond is to be preferred to Etoile de France, for, being less full, the buds open more quickly. Apart from this fact most rosarians would prefer the latter. The variety Gen. MacArthur came out at the same time as Eichmond, and the beautiful dark velvety blooms that ap- peared in the summer months gave rise to great expectations, only to be dissi- pated in the autumn by the extreme paleness of the tint. — Horticultural Trade Journal. A NEW HYBRID TEA ROSE. Of the four new hybrid teas distrib- uted by M. Pemet-Ducher, the famous French raiser, in the autumn of 1905, Mme. M6lanie Soupert is facile princeps; moreover, it is quite distinct from any other variety with which I am ac- quainted. Perhaps fault will be found with it on account of its extreme vari- ation of coloring, but this seems pe- culiar to many of the newer hybrid teas, of which Frince de Bulgarie may be cited as a notable exaiftple. My best flowers of Mme. M6lanie Sou- pert were cut early in July, before the effects of the hot, scorching weather had begun to make themselves felt. The buds of this rose are long and pointed, and open into semi-double, globular flow- ers with large, deep petals; on the out- side these are a soft salmon-white tinged with light carmine-rose, and on the in- side a light apricot-pink with a most vivid yellow base, almost the color of the Austrian Yellow briar. Later on in the season, however, all these charming tints were lost, due most probably to the ex- treme heat and drought, and I should judge that in a cool season this rose will be seen at its best. Certainly the first flowers were of exquisite beauty, and it was a considerable disappointment that the later ones should have had rather a washed out appearance. The growth of the plant is in every way satisfactory, and the floM'er stalks strong and upright. The foliage is a dark, bronzy green; the wood strong and of vigorous branching growth. Should its coloring prove con- stant there should be a great future for this rose. In general habit it reminds me of Killarney. — Gardeners' Magazine. COLUMBUS. OHIO.

The days following Christmas were a distinct disappointment to most of the wholesale houses in this market and, by the same token, to the growers whom they represent. The demands were not up to the ■ sanguine expectations engen- dered by the enormous Christmas busi- ness. The carnation growers, especially, failed to realize on their hopes. There was comparatively little doing locally and the out-of-town demand, like that in the city, was almost exclusively from the best buyers, indicating that the Christ- mas drain upon the customers of the small retailers exhausted their resources, especially as compared with the between- holidays prices of cut flowers. New Year's brought quite a little ex- tra demand and Monday saw a lively market, but prices were several notches lower than at Christmas, Most of the stock was of splendid quality and by night the market was pretty well cleaned up except on the same lines that proved in oversupply for Christmas: white car- nations. Paper "Whites and other bulb stock. The charity ball New Year's eve helped many of the retailers and the market in general. Choice material for corsages was wanted, but the principal call was for decorations for the many fashionable dinners which preceded the dance. After New Year's the market opened at a decidedly lower level of prices, al- though roses are holding up well in view of the largely increased supply. Beauties are of excellent quality and fairly abun- dant. There are now heavy cuts of Maid and Bride and quality is excellent in spite of the fact that we have had little sun. Killarney is superb and Kichmond plentiful. The best still fetch $3 a -dozen. Not so many Chatenay are seen as last year, but they are fine. Poinsettias have been a glut since Christmas. There are so many of them that it is impossible to clear them out, although they have been used for many table decorations. The carnation crops are heavy, as judged by recent standards, and there is much good stock available. Violets were in short supply a few days following Christmas, but soon became equal to all requirements, as it was re- ported Chicago was better than any other market for Christmas. Callas have be- come quite plentiful, but Harrisii are not abundant. There are Paper Whites and Bomans more than the market needs. A few tulips are seen and jonquils have made their appearance, selling briskly. Some splendid mignonette is offered, Stevia is passing. There is a fair call for green goods, but the best demand is for bunches rather than strings. Kennicotts to Move. Shortly after it was announced that Marshall Field had bought the Lemoine block on Eandolph street, the tenants were advised that the Field estate would .not renew any of the leases. Kennicott Bros. Co. has occupied the basement of the building for seven years, but its lease expires next May. 6. H. Pieser has had an eye open for a favorable location and a few weeks ago closed a lease on the large basement at 48 and 50 Wabash avenue. A part of the arrangement was that the landlord should construct a new entrance and make other improvements. It appears that to make the changes the other tenants and city building depart- ment had to be reckoned with, and this has caused delay, but the plans now suit all parties and the work is under way. It is the intention of the Kennicott Bros. Co. to move as soon as the re- modeling is completed. The new quar- ters will be practically the same size as those at present occupied and excellently adapted to the cut flower business. A Chans;e in Policy. Peter Beinberg has practically con- fined himself to growing roses and car- nations and has been one of the best customers of some of the other whole- salers, for a certain proportion of his customers insist in looking to him for all their needs, in spite of the fact that he has not listed anything but roses and carnations in his price list. But now he plans to diversify, adding to his prod- ucts until he has a full line, if results are up to expectations. Leonard Kill says arrangements have been made for pips for forcing a liberal supply of val- ley all this season, and other stock will follow; even violets may be tried. Mr. Eeinberg says he probably shall not build this year, although he says he is in a receptive mood if any one wants to sub- mit cheap prices on glass. Smilax Goes the Limit. J. W. Wolfskin is the proprietor of a fine store at Los Angeles, CaJ, He has been in the growing end of the busi- ness for some time, but only recently opened the store, fitted up in the mp?t approved fashion and handling a full line of the best stock.

Bar- ton, 4629 Greenwood avenue, has a beau- tiful pure white sport of Dr. Enguehard chrysanthemum which originated on his place this season. It has been given the name of Mrs. Enos M. Barton and Mr. Kirchner thinks so well of it that he will propagate all possible for next sea- son. Several mum growers who have seen this white sport predict that it will prove to be one of the best varieties pro- duced in years. E. T. Wanzer, at Wheaton, is ship- ping in some excellent carnations. Vic- tory is fine with him, also Enchantress. For white he grows White Lawson, Boun- tiful and Boston Market. Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Lawson are his pinks. He had some good mums and now uses the space for propagating. The good old year, 1906, was a warm member. Not only was the business pace the hottest on record, but the tempera- ture was above the average to a surpris- ing extent. The weather bureau keeps a i«oord of each day's mean temperature a^d adding the daily excess the record shows that in 1906 we had 1,032 degrees more heat than normal. Also, there has been more wind and much less sun. Miss A. L. Tonner, in the supply de- partment of the A. L. Bandall Co., says prospects for spring business are excel- lent. They still are opening new goods right along and find that it means some- thing to gather a complete stock. W. J. Smyth had a large amount of work Sunday for the funeral of J. E. Holden, manager of the retail store of Marshall Field & Co. Miss Lillian Bowes, of Michigan City, Ind., was in town New Year's eve. She reports trade increasing steadily. John Ziska is now personally handUng the stock of the Chicago Rose Co., John Sterrett being no longer with the firm. O. W. Frese, of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., spent the last few days of 1906 at home, nursing a severe cold. Wietor Bros, are filling their benches formerly occupied by chrysanthemums largely with cuttings. They do an annu- ally increasing business in rose and car- nation cuttings and especially in chrysan- themums. . E. H. Hunt's express themselves as much better pleased with the way violets have acted in the last ten days than with the way white carnations have gone. Joseph Foerster says that George Rein- berg will not propagate roses and carna- tions as heavily tbia year as in previous seasons, the blooms lost in the process, at the present grade and prices, being worth more than the cuttings. C. W. McKellar says the call for or- chids, violets and vaJley was good be- tween Christmas and New Year's. C. H. Fisk, at Ogden avenue and Mad- ison street, reports a record breaking Christmas trade, mostly in blooming plants. He purchased double the amount handled a year ago and cleaned it all out. Weiland & Risch are propagating Kil- larney in large quantity, anticipating an even heavier demand than last year. John D. Rockefeller has given the Uni- versity of Chicago $2,5(W for green- houses for the botanical department. H. F. HEille contracted a severe cold just before the holidays and he is sick in bed in consequence. His business, however, is reported prospering and his Christmas trade in plants was most grati- fying. The Empire Theater Co., Milwaukee, has been organized, Harry Lubliner, president, and Joe Trinz, secretary and treasurer. A new theater seating 800 is being built and will be ready for busi- ness in a month or two. A delegation from Chicago will attend the opening. The E. F. Winterson Co. has put in a large stock of M. V. Garnsey's Japana and Anglais cut flower vases and find they sell well. H. C. Wullbrandt has removed to Fif- ty-third and Madison, where he has just completed a new plant, a stere and two greenhouses, the latter each 20x125. He reports business opening good. Max Ringier, of Kennicott 's, was teken ill in the store last Friday with a re- currence of his old trouble. His condi- tion gave alarm for a day or two. The wholesalers in the Atlas building whose leases expire next May are finding rents raised about fifteen per cent. P. J. Hauswirth, secretary of the S. A.

The Market The Christmas trade was phenomenally large in the sale of blooming plants; with cut flowers it was as usual during • a holiday rush. From all sides the re- port comes that in every reepect it was most satisfactory and the growers cer- tainly have little to complain of, as prices were high on all grades of stock. It was first thought that stock of all kinds would be scarce, but at the last moment there was plenty of almost ev- erything. The wholesalers had some heavy orders booked. These were, in most cases, filled, both local and ship- ping orders. American Beauties were somewhat scarce, also fancy stock in other roses, but of the leeser grades there were enough. Carnations went at top price; nothing was sold under $4 per hundred. Violets were not at all plentiful. The cloudy weather for three weeks kept them back. These were all cleaned up at $2 per hundred. In bulb stock the market had plenty of Komans, Paper Whites, and valley. On these no increase of price was asked. Christmas greens in holly, mistletoe and wreathing had an unprecedented demand. Among the west end florists it was a foregone conclusion that the demand for plants would be large and they laid in a big stock, with hardly anything left the next day that was worth having. The same was true of the downtown florists, all of whom report a big Christ- mas business. Variouf Notes. President Irish and Chairman Frank Weber were out Thursday in the interest of the guarantee fund, among the busi- ness men, with good results. This week the other committeemen, W. (;. Smith and A. J. Bentzen, will take up the work among the north side business men. The fund is growing each day. Frank Fillmore, one of the club's hardest workers, was badly hurt last week by slipping on the ice near his home. From reports today he is mend- ing nicely. Alex Siegel will, after the first of the year, move to his new location, Broad- way and Washington avenues, in the old Grand Leader building. W. J. Pilcher and J. Potts, old-timers in the business, helped out Mrs. M, M. Ayers during the holiday rush. Arthur Ellison was again in harness during the holiday week, helping out the old folks, who report one of the biggest holiday's business they ever had. W. C. Hill Floral Co., of Streator, 111., is sending to Smith & Co. some of the fine light pink Lawson, named Mel- ody. This is really a fine seller and in great demand among the retailers. Adolph Brix, on St. Louis avenue, had the best Christmas trade in years. Mr. Brix is one of the big buyers at the wholesale markets. W. C. Smith has been appointed super- intendent of the chicken show, which will be held next week. A better selection could not have been made. The St. Louis Horticultural Society held a meeting Tuesday, December 18, at C. C. Sanders' place on Delmar ave- nue. Harry Young presided, with ten members present. They decided to hold an open meeting this month, when lec- tures will be given by prominent speak- ers on horticulture and other matters pertaining to the society's ' interest. This meeting will be held the third Tues- day in January, the regular meeting night. The members of the St. Louis Flo- rists ' Club will meet next Thursday after- noon in the new hall in the Burlington building, 810 Olive street. The secre- tary will send notices to each member, as usual, and President Irish expects a large attendance, as the flower show com- mittee has something extra to report, which will be of great interest to all the members. J. J. B. Bloomington, III. — The boiler-house of the cemetery greenhouse burned down on the morning of December 24. A por- tion of the roof of the greenhouse was also totally destroyed, damaging some of the plants. Quick work by a force of carpenters saved the remainder of the plants from freezing.

As was expected, Christmas turned out to be a time of universal gladness and the florist came in for his share of the benefit, A few days previous to the great day we had bitter cold weather, close to zero, which called for a great amount of Avrapping and other precau- tions against a chill. As near as the writer can glean, it was largely a plant Christmas and of these the favorites were the azalea, pans of poinsettias and Begonia Gloire de Lor- raine. Please notice that the single- stemmed poinsettia, either dwarf or tall, has no longer a charm. They must be in pans, and of them there were not too many. But plants did not monopolize all the sales. Roses and carnations held their own and violets were in great de- mand, also valley, narcissi and IJgjnans. Holly Avas for sale at almost every street corner, yet the demand at the green- houses was as good as ever and all that there was time to make into wreaths met with a ready sale. There was a swell ball last week on our fashionable Delaware avenue and the floral decorations were more extensive than usual. There were baskets of or- chids, banks of begonias and poinsettias, but my excuse for mentioning the party was the particular fact that chief among the decorations were 500 Richmond roses with stems three feet long and Amer- ican Beauties with stems five feet long. The decorations were in charge of Ro- land Cloudsley (who never was with Thorley), of the Wm. Scott Co., and the roses came grandly packed from Poehl- mann Bros. Co., Chicago. After seeing those Richmonds unpacked, never talk to me about Liberty being on the same street with Richmond. It would take ten acres of Liberty to cut as many long- stemmed flowers. W. S. KANSAS QTY. The Market. Roses were not plentiful and sold at a very high price at Christmas. American Beauties retailed at from $8 to $24 per dozen. Brides and Bridesmaids retailed from $2 to $5 per dozen, and of red roses there were not near enough to go around. (Jood carnations were scarce and sold at from $1 to $2.50 per dozen. Only a few red were to be had. Some fine car- nations were shipped in. Narcissi and Romans were plentiful . and not much advanced in price. Violets were scarce and retailed at $4 per hundred. Poin- settias sold well in pots and pans but rather slow when cut. The florist who can gro^y them ten to twelve inches tall, with large bracts, would be strictly in it in this city. Holly was plentiful. Peyke Bros, received two carloads with 180 cases, arriving two days before Christ- mas, and sold it cheap, at $3.50 per case. Such as this gave the fakers a good chance and their cries could be heard on almost every corner. One commis- sion-house had about two carloads on hand that was cut too early and the re- sult was that it was too dry and would not sell at any price. We were in- formed that there were a couple of car- loads refused on the track on account of being too dry. Mistletoe was plenti- ful, mostly shippad from the south. Green roping seemed to be plentiful, for there is less call for this every year, wild smilax taking its place for large decorations. Red bells sold rather slowly among the florists and prices were low. The sale for fancy baskets of plants and plants in pots and pans is increasing every year and many are glad of it. The weather was ideal, making it easy to deliver potted plants. We can all say it was one of the best Christmases we ever had. Various Notes. Albert Barbee reports business to be the largest he has ever had before on Christmas, in both cut flowers and plants. His holly was all made up in wreaths, about 400 in all. They were mostly sold for cemetery purposes, as his green- houses are located near one of the best cemeteries in this city. He had a large number of fine poinsettias which he sold quite readily. Arthur Newell says that trade was fifteen per cent better than last year. He sold roses at from $3 to $5 a dozen and the stock he handled was extra fine. Mr. Freudenthal had an excellent trade, but says that the price for shipped- in stock was too high and thought that some of the carnations seemed to be pickled. The Alpha Floral Co. reports business to be immense. On December 24 they sold $708 more than on the same day last year, or just double last year's sales on that day. Mr. Elberfleld claims he had the largest, shipment of cut flow- ers by express of any florist in the city, as it took a two-horse wagon to cart the boxes from the depot to his store.

They carried a full line of cut flowers an'd made-up baskets of plants of the most artistic character. Of course Sam Murray had a big week's business; he always gets a lion's share. Ed Humfeld reports business for Christmas week to have been a record- breaker. Miss J. E. Murray had a fine display find did a rushing business.

The Market Since Christmas trade has been quiet. Owing to the mild weather which has prevailed, more flowers have arrived than had been anticipated and with a rather light demand the supplies have been more than suflScient for all requirements. Prices have dropped to figures prevailing ten days before Christmas. Both roses and carnations are in good supply. Top prices on the latter have fallen to $6. Violets are in rather oversupply. Aver- age price for good stock is $1 per hun- dred, but some doubles have sold lower. Chrysanthemums are still seen but the quality is now poor. Lilies and callas are arriving suifi- ciently for all needs. Some good mig- nonettes are seen and there is an oversup- ply of Paper Whites and Roman hya- cinths. Quite a lot of stevia is still sent in but it sells slowly. Tulips and yellow narcissi are not yet of good quality. Quite a little freesia is seen in the retail stores, but this flower is not much han- dled at the wholesale market or commis- sion houses. Fischer's Purity is seen with long stems. Poinsettias met with a slow sale after Christmas. In sweet peas, Mont Blanc is most in evidence, some Earliest of All being also seen. There is no change in green stock, for which the demand is not brisk at pres- ent. Later reports on Christmas trade in- dicate an increased volume all around over 1905. Growers who threw quantities of flowers on the market on Christmas day had to take lower prices. We heard some complaints of plants arriving from retailers in a frozen condition owing ,to being insufficiently wrapped up. New Year never makes more than a trifling difference in the market here. Violets sold well. These, lily of the val- ley and roses were used as gifts to some extent, but the effect on prices was hard- ly noticeable. Various Notes. Robert Cameron sailed on the S. S. Admiral Sampson on December 26 for Jamiaca. He will collect plants for the Harvard Experimental Station at Soli- dad, Cienfuegos, Cuba, where Robert M. Grey, late of North Easton, is located. After spending some time in Cuba Mr. Cameron will return by way of Havana to New Y'^ork.

The Market Christmas materialized a general re- sult almost identical with the predictions as to prices, sales and satisfaction. From the retailers' standpoint there can be no sincere fault-iinding, for every plant and combination of plants in hamper, basket, box or jardiniere that had merit in qual- ity and artistic arrangement, sold at a good price and not enough were left to dress the windows respectably in any flo- rist's store worthy of the name. Cut flowers, too, were not held at ab- normal prices by the wholesalers and the antagonism to these and the suggestions as to plant preference were not so gen- eral as in other years. Beauties were re- tailed at $25 a dozen. Maids and Kil- larney at $10, Richmond at $12 to $15, carnations $1.50 to $6 and violets at $3 a hundred. At these rates the flower- loving public of this city on special oc- casions like Christmas and Easter do not complain. They have been educated to expect it and the return to more reason- able figures surprises and allures them. The wholesalers would have had no fault to find with Christmas if after maintaining prices at fair rates all day Monday the evening shipments had not been overwhelming. Much of the stock was cut so close that the buds were too small to find, while some of it gave evi- dence of the pickling process, and both had to go into the "discard" Christmas evening. You can imagine the rose slunlp on the day after. White roses and carna- tions, especially the former, were cut to almost summer rates until the pressure of overabundance was relieved. This will account to the growers for the general average not coming up to expectations; while the very best held firm, the me- dium and lower grades all suffered. Violets alone maintained their values even up to the end of the week and were selling as high as $1.25 per hundred on Your Plans For 1907 should include telephone service at your home as well as at your place of business.

New Year's prices will aver- age a little over half the price of cut flower rates at Christmas. Orchids and gardenias were in extensive demand and, while prices were wisely not advanced, all the varieties were well called for and nothing worth mentioning was left when the local and shipping demands were filled. The few mums left were of only me- dium quality and were snapped up quickly. Of holly, mistletoe, wreathing, wild smilax, the market was swept abso- lutely bare. In some of the green goods centers ferns and galax was the entire stock left by noon of Christmas. And the supply men never had such a clear- ing up. Baskets, vases, all the novel im- portations, immortelles, wreaths and Christmas bells — everything was taken. Shipments were made day and night up to the evening of December 24 and still the call was incessant. So, all things con- sidered, it was a good Christmas and there was little to complain of. The pickling was lighter than usual and is evidently growing more unpopular. The weather wa.s not severe. The love of flowers by the general public was never more in evidence. The Telephone Situation. Few even of the smallest flower stores in New York or Brooklyn are without a telephone and in many of the big re- tail as well as wholesale stores so large a part of the orders is received over the 'phone that more than one line is neces- sary. Two telephone companies in New York would be a nuisance and an added expense without in any way improving the service. Every florist is interested that a report of an investigation con- cerning the telephone service of thirty- six cities has been submitted to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment by Harry P. Nichols, assistant engineer, of the Bureau of Franchises. Such bene- fits as have been derived from competi- tion elsewhere, together with the dis- advantages or inconvenience due to it, appear to be set forth impartially. Mr. Nichols refers to the progressive policy of the Bell Company in New York during the last two years, its reduction of rates and its energetic attempts to develop the use of the telephone. The company has offered yearly compensation to the city, and also so to reduce its rates from time to time that the earnings shall not tinriw/ay' ^r:ir: J •jvi. .— ■; »'.->• J JANUABT 3, 1907.

A goodly number of carnation grow- ers from New York and vicinity will at- tend the Toronto convention. Those of us who were born in Canada and know something of its warm-hearted hospitali- ties can safely assure the visitors of an unusually vigorous welcome and the sleigh riding and curling and other win- ter sports so dear to the Canuck heart will be an unusual treat for those who come from this climate of dampness and who will realize for the first time the in- spiration and healthfulness of a Cana- dian winter. John Dunlop and his lieu- tenants will demonstrate the brotherhood of American florists as it has never been shown before. It will be an inexcusable blunder to miss the Toronto carnation convention. New York should have a representation of at least twenty-five. The next meeting of the New York Florists' Club will be held January 14, one week from Monday evening, at the Grand opera house. Final arrangements for the trip to Toronto will then be com- pleted and possibly a 'special car ar- ranged for. The fare will be one and one-third, and the New York Central probably selected.

The Old Guard ball in January will have the President as a guest. The other events follow each other in never-ceasing rapid- ity, the Arion, the Emerald and a host of others. The opera season is at its height in two great houses and a hundred theaters are crowded nightly. Every- thing betokens prosperity, and prosperity means progress to floral art and home decoration. So great are the good times that the preachers have begun to warn the public of their danger and even Rock- efeller and a few other poor millionaires are advising the people to go slow. The Cut Flower Exchange is an illus- tration of good business management. Its dividend just declared for the cur- rent year is ten per cent. The window displays by the prominent retailers before Christmas excelled any previous demonstration and doubtless accounted partially for the general in- terest. To particularize would be un- fair and to give all their due would make necessary more space than the Review would grant me.

The rest of the year is velvet for them. I was talking with the author of "How to Grow Violets" Saturday and he declared a competent grower could raise as good violets around Chicago as any one in Dutchess county.

But even when I told him he said, ' ' Let them go out a hundred miles, then, where the air is dry and the hills are to be found, and put a com- petent man to work and I'll guarantee as good success as any one achieves at Rhinebeck. ' ' So there you are, and it is surely worth the trial, for violets lose all the sweetness in a thousand-mile journey and New York can use all the violets that are worth using, grown within a hundred miles, and use them while they are warm. J. Austin Shaw. WILLIAMSPORT. PA. Fire at Evenden Bros.' lower green- houses at 3 o'clock on the morning of December 24 did damage which will reach $6,000, with no insurance. The fire was discovered by the watchman in a pile of coal behind the boilers. He called William Evenden, who resides near the lower greenhouses, but the fire had gained such headway that the interior of the boiler room was a mass of flames. Seeing that the situation was serious he called upon the Williamsport fire depart- ment and in the bitter cold two com- panies fought for three hours, doing splendid service in preventing the spread of the flames. The boiler house was consumed and all of the woodwork of the ice house was burned. A corn crib containing about 400 bushels of corn was prac- tically ruined and a wagon shed was de- stroyed. One end of one of the green- houses was burned out. The contents of five of the big green- houses were frosted through the lack of heat, the rose and carnation houses suf- fering most. Oil stoves were hurriedly obtained and rushed into the other houses to try to save their contents. Temporary connections were quickly made with another boiler and it was made to help out as far as possible. The Christmas stock had all been taken to the upper greenhouses and so escaped the general destruction. As soon as the ruins of the boiler house were cool enough to work in Mr. Evenden had a force of men ready and began at once to clear away the debris. The work of installing a temporary heat- ing plant was begun at once and a new permanent plant will be erected and put in operation as quickly as possible. PHILADELPHIA. The Risin£ Eastern Market. Business has been extremely dull since Christmas, duller, in fact, than it has seemed for, a number of years. New Year's was a good day, but by no means a little Christmas. Prices have been weak and irregular, there being at times quan- tities of this or that flower that could not be disposed fit a.t anything like mar- ket value. The curious part of this is that entertaining has been going on at a brisk rate, parties and balls succeeding each other in rapid succession. While flowers in quantity are used for many of these festivities, their use has not been sufficiently general to make a serious impression on the market. The dark weather has had a bad effect on the quality of some varieties of stock, making the better grades more difficult to supply than would ordinarily be the case. Beauties have been abundant and at times long-stemmed flowers were in oversupply. Tea roses of fine quality have found ready sale, but the majority of the stock coming in is only medium at present. Carnations have been more plentiful than seemed possible two weeks ago. Prices receded one-half immedi- ately after Christmas, and have remained fairly firm since.

But this was, of course, an exception to the rule, most of the fancies selling for one- half those figures. Gardenias are in good supply, thanks mainly to the skill of Bobert Scott & Son, who have a large cut in sight. Violets have remained fair- ly steady since Christmas, the lack of sunshine cutting down the supply consid- erably. Sweet peas are more abundant. ,r-:-;;»F-SV<-,;>''''-»^.-. -■•••, JANUABT 3, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 49 J ^ To the Florists of America V The Florists' Supply House of America H. Bayersdorfer & Co., 1129 Arch Street Philadelphia, January 1, 1907. ffWE desire to thank our many friends and customers for their Hberal mmm patronage extended to us during the past year. We also wish to gratefully a'cknowledge the kind indulgence shown us in the trying period of moving when it was not always possible to dispatch orders with that promptness for which we have established a reputation. We ask a continuance of your business for 1907, and promise that the best goods, the best facilities and our best efforts shall be at your command. Wishing you a Happy and a Prosperous New Year, we are Very truly yours, H. BAYERSDORFER & CO. Mention The Reylew when yoa write. The best flowers are now sufficiently good to interest the most fastidious buyers. Poinsettia is cut out with some growers, but there is still sufficient in sight to meet every requirement. In fact, the demand is perceptibly falling oflf. A feature of the orchid market is the addition of some choice flowers of Lselia anceps alba, pure white, with long stems, seen at the Leo Niessen Co. 's. Trumpet major has made its appearance. It is of fair quality and sells well. The Florex Gardens. D. Fuerstenberg, Henry C. Geiger and Eugene Bernheimer have applied for a charter under the Commonwealth of the State of Pennsylvania, which will enable them to grow and sell plants and flowers under the name of the Florex Gardens. They have purchased fifty acres of ground at North Wales, on the Philadel- phia & Beading railway, about three- quarters of an hour from this city. The ground is admirably adapted for green- house purposes, being so situated that a siding for coal is possible, while the soil is considered by the experts as first-class for growing roses and carnations. One greenhouse 150x425 feet, single-span, will be constructed this season for American Beauty roses. George Samtman will be manager or superintendent of this plant, which will be added to from time to time. The idea is to grow Beauties, which are required by the sister enterprise, the Floral Exchange, and which have never quite come up to Mr. Fuerstenberg 's standard at the Edgely greenhouses. It is also planned to grow carnations later. The name Florex may be best understood by describing it as a sort of abbreviated Floral Exchange, the idea being to keep the relationship between the two enter- prises clearly in mind. A number of years ago Leo Niessen strongly advised Phil to especially ob- serve Mr. Fuerstenberg 's horticultural plans, asserting that he would undoubt- edly make his mark in the floral world. The present enterprise is the direct re- sult of Mr. Fuerstenberg 's visit to Can- ada last fall, where he saw and heard things that confirmed him in his belief that large houses are most desirable, from a grower's as well as from a busi- ness standpoint. Bayersdorfer^s New Store. Through the courtesy of Sydney Bay- ersdorfer, Phil was enabled to verify the description of Bayersdorfer 's new store given by proxy in these columns a few weeks ago. Everything was just as de- scribed then, excepting that the wonder- ful stock has been seriously depleted by the Christmas and New Year's orders. Great gaps had been made in the ware- room, which will soon be filled by the incoming shipments of Easter stock. Let no one suppose from this that orders for any staple or novel article on the cat- alogue could not be filled, but simply that thousands of orders evidently had been filled. The drying-room and roof garden were novel features that are being turned to excellent advantage. The workroom, filled with busy makers of wheat sheaves, was full of interest. Among the novelties were some exquisite wood boxes for lilies of the valley and violets, with those flowers hand painted on the covers. Mr. Bayersdorfer said that the new rattan Beauty vase for long-stemmed, fancy flowers, is meeting with brisk demand. Some reed hampers of original design were very attractive. A number of baskets and plant stands were pointed out that had been in vogue for many years and steadily increase in popular favor. The Stokes Idea. Walter P. Stokes always has ideas that are worth listening to, whether it be in greenhouse constructions, valley forc- ing or seed selling. His first catalogue, issued by the Stokes Seed Store, is well worthy careful perusal. Typographically it is extremely well gotten up, while the salient feature is evidently the idea im- pressed throughout upon the reader that "Stokes' Standard," whether it be of peas, beans, beets, or cabbage, is the highest standard and the one that you unquestionably ought to have. To secure this end Mr. Stokes has tested many va- rieties of vegetable and flower seeds at his Moorestown Nurseries, selecting only the best, paying the grower a fair price to secure his best products, and charging the buyer a fair price for a first-class article. Such methods will undoubtedly win the confidence of the seed-buying florists and gardeners. Obituary. We have the sad duty this week of re- cording three deaths since last report- Mrs. Robert Scott, mother of Alex. B. Scott, died Sunday morning after a long illness. Frank McDonald, an employee of Ed- ward Eeid, died Saturday night of ty- phoid fever, after an illness of several weeks. The death of the married daughter of J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the Henry A.

Bice & Co. are already busy fixing up stock and getting in shape for a large Easter business, which this year comes very early, March 31. The white cotton-holly wreath de- scribed in this Qolumn two weeks ago has been adopted by the Union League, and may be seen at its window on Broad street. It is pleasant to see Paul Eichter back in the H. F. Michell Co. seed store. Alfred Burton had a large crop of Lib- erties for Christmas. S. S. Skidelsky read his paper on ' ' Our Credit System, Its Uses and Abuses," before the January meeting of the Flor- ists' Club on New Year's evening. Those who object to the prices of cut flowers at Christmas will do well to no-, tice that the 6-inch pans of Saintpaulia ionantha, which brought $1 each before the holidays, can now be had for the sum of 50 cents each. Wesley Clark is now with the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. The story that Eugene Weiss was seen in pursuit of the setting sun on Christ- mas eve with two boxes of fancy Maids under his arm is strenuously denied by Samuel lilley. John Mclntyre is handling quantities of fine stevia. Phil. DETROIT. The Market. Flowers remain well cleaned up just now. It is a case of "everything going out and nothing coming in." Few Beau- ties are seen and other roses also are at a premium. Carnations are coming in more plentifully but remain cleaned up at prices ranging from $5 to $8 per hundred. The finest Enchantress ever seen are coming from Mount Clemens. Violets are also way up, both single and double. Valley brings from $3.50 to $4.50 per hundred and is in large de- mand. Stevia sells well. Narcissi and daffodils are used extensively. Even though the holidays are over, plants are selling well. The high prices of cut flowers have created quite a sale of blooming plants for sick people. Among: the Craft. Despite that all are glad the holiday rush is over for another year, were it not for these extra occasions life would seem rather dull. Wm. Brown and his force put in some long hours. A large decoration in Strassburg's hall on Christmas eve added to his troubles. J. F. Sullivan's window was prettily decorated, a snow effect of cotton-batting with a number of Christmas novelties. Sullivan does the violet business in this city and many thousand eastern violets were disposed of at good prices. In 1905 E. A. Fetters was not able to say much about the holiday business, that being his first season in Detroit, but he has built up a good trade and is well satisfied with 1906 Christmas. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange has again passed through an unusually heavy siege. Under the careful manage- ment of Robert Eahaley, business is booming. The Bemb Floral Co. was taxed to the limit. Albert Pochelon had just com- pleted some changes in the store. This firm makes a specialty of prepared grasses, palm leaves, etc. Breitmeyer's beautiful store was all aglow with red. They had a much larger cut from their houses than for several years, but everything went. Many taste- ful baskets seen alwut the store before Christmas were all claimed by Santa Claus. Breitmeyer's also have had many orders for receptions and parties. The Detroit Cut Flower Exchange re- ports an unusually satisfactory Christ- mas. Taepke always closes the store and greenhouses the afternoon of December 26, giving all hands a chance to catch up sleep. An extra large cut of c^rna- ■ ' V :• ,.■ '. jANnABY 3, 1907.

Mrs. Allan P. Cox is highly elated over the holiday trade. This is her first ''hristmas in the business, but the rush was handled remarkably well.

Fetters has sold out his business to Murray Patefson, viio ran a flower stand at the Strand grocery store, which failed recently. H. S. CLEVELAND. Christmas Comment. All things considered, trade and con- ditions at Christmas were quite satisfac- tory to all the leading florists. By the leading florists I mean those who put forth an extra effort to make Christmas the best ever, and succeeded. It means lots of hard work and early and late hours and some little grumbling, but now that it is all over we find ourselves in as good trim as ever and ready for the next rush of orders, which will come Feb- ruary 14, when the demand for violets and roses will take up everything in sight — providence and the weather per- mitting— as it does not want to be too cold on St. Valentine's day or it will freeze out all the love of little Cupid, and the violets for milady will remain on the shelf. Christmas had several surprises for the store man, but the greatest shock came when notified that best stock in longest Beauties had advanced to $15 to $18 per dozen and selected red, white and pink roses to $25 per hundred. We in the provinces have not been accus- tomed to such high values and it was a hard matter to explain to a would-be purchaser the reason for the advance. These high prices at Christmas are a body blow to the occasional buyer of the great middle class, and the result is that instead of making a future customer out of this annual visitor for your own future good and profit, you drive him off with the thought that it is no use to try to buy flowers at any of the first-class stores. Everything cleaned up well this year at good prices and there were only' a few white carnations left over for the next day's crop of funerals.

The Market Christmas business was undoubtedly the heaviest that we have ever had and a general feeling of satisfaction • is felt throughout the trade. The growers dis- posed of everything that was grown for Christmas trade and the retailers in turn were successful in turning it over at handsome profits. Plants of poinsettias sold at sight and at good figures. Azaleas were somewhat of a disappointment to a great many. Gyclameils and poinsettias seem to have taken the lead over azaleas in sales and a small number of them were carried over by nearly all of the dealers. Baskets of plants sold well. Some handsome arraijgements were »• -noted, whicl brought from $5 to' $15 apiece. The demand for them appeared to be quite heavy and it was noticeable that when a handsome basket was shown it would sell in preference to cut flowers. Holly wreaths sold about the same as other seasons, the holly, however, was much better than that handled for a number of yeajs. The sale of cut flowers was a surprise to nearly all of the trade. Never before were there so many sold, notwithstanding the high prices. St.PauL L. L. May & Co. report the heaviest city trade they have had in years. The run was strong on cut flowers. While a great many plants were sold, the sale on them did not exceed that of previous years. Colberg & Lemke put up some hand- some windoAvs Christmas week.

The tradesmen in general have that tired look, which people who work day and night get, yet they do not complain as they get satisfying reports from the various stores, showing an increase of from twenty-five to fifty per cent over any other season, the plant end showing the largest increase. The wholesale houses all report a good Christmas trade and cleaned up nicely in everything that came in, by Monday noon. Some of the stock which came in Monday night and Tuesday morning hung, but most of it cleaned up later in the week. New Year's was about as in any other year, this day as usual equal- ing a good Saturday. Variotii Notes. Randolph & McClements lost a wagon and load of decorative stock during thQ last cold snap. The stove set the wagon on fire and before it was noticed the whole top was in a blaze and everything ruined. George A. McWilliams, of Natrona, Pa., has gone to North Carolina, where he will spend a couple of weeks on busi- ness and in hunting. The tremendous rush at the express of- fices gave the wholesalers some trouble in getting their stock, although, with one or two exceptions, they got their outbound shipments off in good shape.

Every- thing was exceptionally scarce. There were, however, plenty of Eomans, Paper "Whites, violets and valley, with Cross having a few sweet peas on sale. The supply of good roses was far short of the demand; carnations the same. Every- body was well stocked with plants: aza- leas, poinsettias, peppers, cyclamens and Romans in pans. In sales poinsettias led. It must also be said that they were in heaviest supply with all, except Cross, who had a run on cyclamens, being prac- tically the only one having them. Crabb & Hunter were in the same position with Bon Silene roses, which are just now pop- ular for bouquets. Every azalea and poinsettia sold to the last plant.. Of other kinds, some were left. All flowers were cleaned up to the last scrap. The weather being cold, much difficulty was experienced in wrapping and delivering plants. As a whole business with most was about equal to that of last year, with Cross's store as an extra over last year, and he did a fair share of the total business done. It is strange, but never, since violets began to be grown here, have they been as slow in blooming as this year, or as few cut during the holidays. James Schols is cutting the most. The daily papers chronicle that Walter S. and Mary Parsons have started suit against Charles Chadwick to collect $2,000 alleged to be due on a note. G. F. C. LILACS FOR FORCING. So highly are the fragrant flowers of the lilacs appreciated when developed early in the year under glass, that in directing attention to the details essen- tial to success in forcing these shrubs there is no occasion to dwell upon their charms. To insure a full measure of success it is necessary to have plants that are well established in pots, have well-rip- ened wood, and are furnished with an abundance of stout flower buds. None but the finest of the numerous varieties should be grown for forcing. October, or early in November, will be the best month in which to pot the lilacs, but whether the young plants have been raised at home or purchased, they ought not to be forced during the ensuing win- HEADQUARTSRS FOR Hardy Cut Greens and Florists' Supplies FANCY AND DAGGER FERNS, fine quality, $1.50 per 1000.

Some may be sufficiently advanced to bloom, but it will be far better to give them a year's growth in pots before taking them under glass. Two years will be gained by buying plants of the ordinary nursery size and potting them up as advised for the home-grown stock. As they are potted, plunge the pots to the rim in a bed of ashes made up on a hard surface. For their accommodation during the summer and autumn months a bed of ashes should be made up in an open, sunny position, and the pots plunged to two-thirds their depth in this. Sufficient space must be allowed them to make their growth without overcrowding. The watering must be carefully attended to, and arranged as here advised, with a portion only of the pots covered; they will require rather liberal supplies of water. When the pots are well filled with roots, and they are growing freely, an occasional supply of liquid manure will be beneficial. Bushes that are pro- ducing a considerable number of shoots should have some of the weaker ones removed to give room for the others to attain their full development. Lilacs prepared as here advised may be forced quite early, and the first batch may be placed in heat early in Decem- ber.

They will succeed under the conditions that usually obtain in the forcing house; but the best results are obtained by com- mencing with a temperature of 50 or 55 degrees and increasing it to 60 degrees as the growth progresses.

This would be so wasteful a practice that it ought not to be adopted, but instead the plants should be grown from year to year. Assuming that the latter course will be taken, it becomes necessary to point out that, as the growth will have been commenced under glass, the plants when they flower must be placed where they can complete their growth under similar con- •ditions. A light, airy house will afford the most suitable quarters for them when completing their growth. A stout, short- jointed growth being the most fa- vorable to flower production, the plants should be placed near the glass, and the ventilation so arranged that they will en- joy a free circulation of air about them. Whether fire-heat will be necessary or not will depend upon the period at which they bloom, but when they are flowered in March and April, very lit- tle, if any, will be required. Those, on the other hand, that are started so early that they bloom in January and Feb- ruary, will require some aasistance from the heating apparatus. As an indication of the amount of artificial heat neces- sary, it may be mentioned that a tem- perature of 60 degrees is the most de- sirable. "When making their new growth the plants should, if they have not been shifted into pots one size larger, be supplied with liquid manure alternately ■with plain water. Should the bushes be growing out of shape, or have become ^^SSJ, they should be pruned into shape or be cut rather hard back and encour- aged by a rather higher temperature and overhead syringings to start quickly into growth. They may, if necessary, when new growth is commencing, be shifted into larger pots. When the new growth is completed, and the completion is indicated by the buds, the plants should be gradually hardened off and be placed in a sunny Fancy or Dagger Ferns $1.00 per 1000. fialax, Bronze or Green 75e per 1000.

PACKING VEGETABLE PLANTS. I note several inquiries, with interest- ing answers, and often note you speak of stock as being well packed, » how neces- sary it is that it be well packed, etc. As many readers would undoubtedly order more than they do were they sure of receiving stock that had been well packed to stand 100 to 1,000 miles of ex- press travel, will you kindly state how best to pack live plants, tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, strawberries, etc.? F. M. P. Packing is purely a matter of experi- ence. I know of no school for packers. I must say that in the great majority of cases we receive plants of all kinds most admirably packed at all seasons. The larger the firm, the better they pack, be- cause they have experienced men who are constantly employed at the job. The season has much to do with the question. If packed too tightly such seedlings as tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, etc., would heat. I would say lor these seedlings that they should be sort- ed into lots of twenty-five in a parcel. The roots should be about even and laid on a piece of, paper large enough to go twice around the bundle of plants and projecting five or six inches beyond the roots. If the shipment were destined to go 1,000 miles you should scatter a little damp sphagnum moss on the paper be- fore you laid the plants on it ; then when the paper is wrapped around the plants the moss would be in touch with the roots. Wrap the paper around the plants and when once around fold in the paper that projected beyond the roots and you have a tight little parcel which will not unfold in transit. In summer-time, or before danger of frost, these bunches of twenty-five plants can be stood upright in a shallow box and on the top of the box a few slats nailed. If the weather is cold the bun- dles of plants can be laid flat in a box in four or five layers and the cover nailed down tight. Between each layer of bun- dles you should have at least two layers of newspapers or perhaps better still an inch of excelsior, this to prevent heating. In the case of strawberries and toma- toes, perhaps twelve pfants will be enough A BED or MUSHROOMS Raised from our Spawn, will bear loneer and yield better than from any other variety of Spawn.

There will be 10,000 square feet of glass in the Saskatoon Nurseries to start with and in addition to this there will be put down forty acres in nursery trees, includ- ing maple, poplar, birch and all kinds suitable for this country. The new con- cern expects to be able to supply Sas- katoon at least with early cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, lettuce and other vege- tables, as well as all lines of cut flowers, pot plants and bedding flowers. Excavation has been made for the hot- beds and the manager's house is well under way.

It is in- tended, if congress gives permission, to produce and distribute commercial sugar beet seed with the primary object of de- veloping a new American industry. Secretary Wilson does not believe the present free seed distribution should con- tinue because he regards it as a waste of public money. Undoubtedly when the question of inclusion of another appro- priation for free seed, similar to that in past appropriation bills, is taken up by the house agricultural committee it will be rejected. This was done last year, but the free-seeders were strong enough to induce the house to authorize the ap- propriation. "Whether they are so strong this year remains to be seen. GRADING SEED CORN. A perfect stand is one of the principal factors in securing a good yield. If three or four stalks per hill is a perfect stand, hills with one or two or with five or six stalks will make a poor stand and give a loss in yield. It is important to have good seed of perfect germina- tion, and to have the seed grains dropped uniformly, with the right number in the hill. It is thus desirable, as emphasized by Prof. P. G. Holden, of the Iowa Agri- cultural College, to separate the seed ears selected into three classes, or grades, having small, intermediate, and large kernels, and shell and preserve these three grades of seed separately. Before beginning the planting, the planter can be carefully tested with each grade of seed, and the dropping plates with dif- ferent-sized holes or marginal notches selected for each grade, which by careful trial are found to uniformly drop the desired number of kernels. These plates, after thorough test, can be marked, and used when needed with the proper size of seed grains without loss of time in the rush of planting. TOLEDO GRASS SEED MARKET. Toledo, the greatest clover seed mart in the world, is now obliged to buy large quantities of the seed in foreign markets. This unusual condition is occasioned by the shortage in the crops this year in this country.

Toledo dealers are buying quantities of clover seed in English, German and Italian markets, because the stock cannot be secured in America. Toledo dealers are interested in the law concerning the importation of clover seed which, after January 1, makes it mandatory that sam- ples of all foreign seed be first submitted to the United States Department of Agri- culture. CARE OF SEED CORN. "It is advisable that all corn which is to be used as seed — for the breeding plat, for general planting, or for sale — should be presers'ed in the best manner possible," says C. P. Hartley, in a re- cent bulletin of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. ' ' Good care consists in carefully drying the ears, and at the same time seeing that they dry quite rapidly. This should be done as soon as they are gathered, and they should then be stored in a dry place of even tem- perature and where they will not be reached by damp air. Seed corn, al- though it may have become very dry, will absorb moisture if it comes in con- So'w Now The True Thing Ageratum Blue Star, the best of all for pots, & tr. pktB., $1.25; tr. pkt., 25c.

I noticed some remarks in a recent issue relative to Guernsey-grown bulbs in comparison with Dutch. In my ex- perience Guernsey-grown bulbs are suit- able for two or three definite purposes, and for those purposes no finer bulbs can be obtained. Selected stocks grown in the Channel Islands for forcing for very early work are a week or so in front of Dutch given the same treatment.

Prob- ably when they are lifted and ware- housed the fields in Holland are still green and full of growth. Before a bulb can be forced it requires a certain amount of rest and if by climatic or other influences it can be induced to go to rest earlier so much earlier will it force. A plain example is seen of this in Eoman hyacinths; the further south they are grown the earlier will they bloom, and again, if an early ripening season occurs in Holland through hot, dry weather the Dutch bulbs always force earlier. The Guernsey bulbs are also fine for a grower who wishes to plant a large quantity outside for stock purposes, for rapidly obtaining a large number of bulbs and for producing a large quantity of bloom for market.

Young is now the sole proprietor of the business formerly owned by the firm of Snyder & Young, having bought out his partner, Mr. Snyder, Taunton, Mass. — Taunton Green- houses report a first-class Christmas trade, every salable plant being disposed of, such as azaleas, primulas, cyclamens, poinsettias, etc., and many foliage plants. Among the latter Nephrolepis Whitmani sold finely. Flowers sold well, carnations, violets and roses being favorites in or- der named. Trade since Christmas has continued good. 606 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 3, 1907. INDIANAPOLIS. Current Comment. Christmas has come and gone and in its passing has left a record for busi- ness. All the store men commenced early and stayed late, and still the de- 'mand was not satisfied and could not be, as the supply was exhausted. Carna- tions, roses and poinsettias were most in demand. Some bulb stuff was to be had, also violets and sweet peas, but they did not go far. Plants sold well, Lorraine begonia still being the favorite. With such a demand prices had to be good. Cloudy weather is still the order of the day. At the meeting of the State Florists' Association of Indiana F. Harritt, F. Hukreide and H. Schilling were ap- pointed a committee to take charge of and arrange all flowers for exhibit in connection with the annual meeting Jan- uary 8. This meeting will be held at the Commercial club, rooms having been secured for the purpose and it is hoped a large attendance will be on hand. The city council is about to reduce the number of employees engaged at the vari- ous parks. The park superintendent's salary got a substantial cut not long ago and now the force will get it where the chicken got the axe. A little jealousy is the main cause for all this economy. Some of the local growers are going in for summer roses this coming year. S. STAMFORD, CONN. Some extra fine seedling carnations are to be seen at the greenhouses of Oliver Hoyt. A fine pink, between Lawson and Prosperity, long stem and a red, said to be much better than Craig and as large as Enchantress, are among the best. There are also some fine white and crim- son seedlings. This is the second year for these seedlings and he now has about twenty-five plants of each of these varie- ties. William Stack is the gardener. M. Columbia City, Ind. — D. C. Noble says that he had an exceptionally good Christmas trade, nearly everything sold, and that his light pink Lawsons are doing fine.

MORRISTOWN, Pa. — Robert Hull had several hundred dollars' worth of plants destroyed by the cold on the night of December 12, owing to the breaking down of his heating plant. Winnipeg, Man. — The "Winnipeg Flo- ral Co. was fortunate enough to secure, for the holiday week, the place formerly occupied by the Imperial Dry Goods Co. This enabled them to handle the holi- day trade to better advantage than they could do at their regular store on Port- age avenue. They had a fine display of flowering plants and cut blooms at both establishments. i--. ■■■^..■■'■' v:.>^t'' 514 The Weekly Florists' Review, January 3, 1907. PACIFIC COAST. San Jose, Cal. — The Euehl-Wheeler Nursery Co. has-been granted a permit to buihl a greenhouse. The supervisors of Yuba county, Cal., recently passed an ordinance that no grape vines could be imported into Yuba county unless the shipper showed a cer- tificate from the state horticultural com- mission to the effect that there had been no phylloxera or anaheim disease in the county from which the vines were shipped during the last five years. But the state commission has no means of knowing, and hence cannot certify — and there you are. SAN RAFAEL, CAL. The Marin County Horticultural So- ciety was organized December 19, in ac- cordance with the decision of a conven- tion, held December 5. The following officers were elected: John L. Jack, president; J. Hetherington, vice-presi- dent; Thomas P. Eedmayne, secretary; Richard Lohrman, treasurer. Meetings will be held every first and third Wednesday of each month in San Eafael, at Peterson's hall, B street, near Second street. Visiting members of the craft are cordially invited to attend. As a majority of those actively engaged in horticulture, in Marin county, are al- ready enrolled, and others have signified a willingness to cooperate, there is no doubt as to a successful future. If sufficient interest is shown by the public to warrant it, the society will, no doubt, hold an exhibit during the coming year that will do credit to this little gar- den spot. Thomas P. Eedmayne, Sec'y. SANFRANOSGO. The Market Christmas has come and gone and we are within a couple of days of the new year. We have hardly yet had sufficient time to tell how good business really was, but on all sides I have had assur- ances that it was the best holiday en- joyed in several years. The weather up to Monday afternoon was all that could be desired, although both on Christmas eve and mojning there were light show- ers, but not of sufficient quantity to in- terfere to any extent with business. It is hard to tell what was most in demand. Owing to warm weather there was an abundance of flowers of all kinds, including violets. Good mums were in shorter supply than anything ehe and big prices were paid by the retailers for ordinary stock. Carnations cost the stores from $4 to $10 per hundred and were retailed at about double these prices at most of the stores. Eoses were in fair supply and of good quality and the growers charged for Brides, Maids and Liberty from 75 cents to $2 per dozen. Beauties sold well at from $3 to $5 per dozen whole- sale. Valley was plentiful and good. Eoman hyacinths were seen less than usual and were not in special demand. Poinsettias were eagerly bought up and proved to be one of the most rapid sellers of the sea- son. There was a shortage of them, es- pecially of the cut stems. Violets held out well; $2 per dozen WELL ROOTED CARNATION CUTTINGS SPECIAL^Are you going to plant Knoliantreas heavily this season?

With green stuff the demand waa heavy. Much English holly was sent to San Francisco from British Columbia, and, despite the fact that the stores were compelled to pay $18 per small barrel for it and that it lasted but a short time, when removed from, the barrels, it sold well. But little eastern holly was seen here this year. It is not in favor with the customers apparently. Red berries, mistletoe and huckleberry had an unprecedented sale and many dealers made more money out of their green goods than from any other source. Garlands and festooning, also not made by florists generally, had a promi- nent place in the window decorations around town. G. Oaks, N. D.— D. C.

Y. — Frank Lamereaux was robbed, December ::U, while on a train from New York city, of overcoat, rubbers and a book. A woman is be- lieved to have been the thief. BALTIMORE. The Market. Christmas business was good and a great many stores afterwards looked as though a cyclone had struck them. Christmas day was the coldest we have had for thirty-five years and great diffi- culty was experienced in making deliv- eries. Carnations were scarce and, in fact, all kinds of cut blooms were short. Bulbs of all kinds were used to good advantage and everything in the shape of a flower was salable. Greens of all kinds were cleaned up. There was a steady demand for plants and large num- bers were sent as presents. Thousands of various kinds of yarding were used for decorations. The retail stores never looked more like a paradise, and no one is making any complaints as to the lack of business.. With all this happiness, there was considerable funeral work dis- posed of. Variotu Notes. W. Christie, of Waverly, has opened an attractive store at Gay and Eden streets ancj will be in the neighborhood of George E. Personett. W. Moore, gardener for H. Hurst, Woodbrook, Md., has completed two new houses 20x47 feet each. J. J. Cummings, on West Baltimore street, is still displaying some extra fine poinsettias. Albert G. Fiedler & Co. report that they had as much business as they could handle this Christmas, and every year there has been a steady increase over the last. Robert Halliday was presented, Christ- mas week, with a bouncing baby girl. J. C, Reineeke, gardener for Norman James, is cutting some extra fine Gates, Brides and Maids. He has one of the finest kept houses in that section. L. Lancaster had a fine Christmas busi- ness in the suburbs. J. L. T. NEW ORLEANS. After a little spell of cold we are again enjoying spring weather and busi- ness is quite brisk. Several balls, the opening of a new theater and funeral work have kept some florists busy. At the funeral, a few days ago, of a prom- inent cotton merchant more than 150 floral ofi'erings were presented. A few years ago the custom of deco- rating with plants and flowers at Christ- mas, as is done in the northern states, was hardly noticeable in New Orleans, where most of the population originated from the Latin race, which does not ob- ser\-e Christmas day as much as the Anglo Saxons. But everything is changed now and this Christma.s was a record-breaker. Never before was such a quantity of holly sold. Some came from Delaware, some from Alabama, some from the pine woods around New Orleans. The best cama from Alabama. For several blocks Canal street was lined with stands with wreaths and everyone sold out. Christmas trees wero short. One or two days before December 25 the scarcity was felt in the market and every dealer had to run to the woods and cut any piece of green, which was sold at a good price. The high price of northern flowers prevented a few from buying, but a fair supplj' of our home flowers, which had been protected by an exceptionally mild season, gave a chance to almost every- body to have a few flowers. No doubt, every florist must be satisfied and have in mind that another Christmas day must find them well supplied with good stock. M. M. L. Riverside, III. — The firm of Schmidt & Mayer, otherwise known as the River- side Floral Co., dissolved partnership, by mutual consent, December 19, 1906. An- ton J. Schmidt, on retiring from the firm, immediately assumed control of his new range of greenhouses in Riverside. Lewiston, Me. — T. J. Allen reports an excellent Christmas trade, both cut flow- ers and plants being in strong demand. More flowers could have been sold but for the high prices prevailing, $8 being asked for very moderate carnations in Boston commission houses. Landscape work continues to increase, but compe- tent men to assist in this branch are hard to find. Another greenhouse will be added during the coming season. .'ft;^' :• '' ' ■■^■:;J;-V;-« '.-:?,.T-v^ •i/Tf.'S- 4 T-i- ..'?,, -v^ ,fi:»J-T;";"-:v; ■ri;,,yjf,-^r "■^Vt'''^^' 516 The Weekly Florists' Review.

The Maine Agricultural Experiment Station is just sending out Bulletin No. 132, "Plant Breeding in its Relation to American Pomology." As noted in this bulletin, the whole question of plant and animal breeding is in a state of transi- tion. The first step in the improvement of American fruits was a crude selection of chance seedlings, wherever found, and it is a notable fact that many of the best known fruits of today were acci- dental seedlings or chance discoveries of valuable wild forms. Cross fertilization as a means of im- proving plants has been generally em- ployed only a little more than half a century, but this has now become of special importance as a means of com- bining the good qualities of different types. Among the problems which demand attention at the present time is the pro- duction of disease-resistant qualities in fruits ; and this study is being vigor- ously pushed by the Department of Agri- culture. The question of the mutual influence of scion and stock has long been under discussion, but little accurate work has been done toward solving the prob- lem. The influence of certain chemicals upon the color, composition and other characteristics of fruits are of perennial interest and this study is being con- ducted at the Maine Agricultural Ex- periment Station. The existence of graft hybrids is freely maintained, but the principles involved have been little studied. The individuality of fruit trees is frequently suggested, but few data bearing upon the point are available. These and many other problems, funda- mental and far reaching in their im- portance, are presented to the student of plant development. It is to this class of problems, more scientific but not less practical in their nature than those usu- ally taken up in pomological discussions, that the systematic breeder of American fruits is turning at the present time. RUDBECKIA MAXIMA. One of the grandest plants of the autumn season is Kudbeckia maxima, a stately plant which baflSes many who at- tempt its cultivation, and, on the other hand, thrives apart when in the right position. The rough and ready methods of cultivation generally satisfactory with most rudbeckias must find no place in the treatment of E. maxima. It re- quires, and is worthy of, special treat- ment. It will not thrive in wet soils, preferring a deep, light loam, and one must wait for two years after removal before the plant will show its proper character. It grows to a height of two or three yards, and has broad, glaucous leaves in loose tufts, handsomer than those of the best funkia, and is a wel- come bit of bold foliage all the summer long. The yellow flowers are not very regular, generally lacking a petal or two of their full, complement, but they are finely colored, and the huge black cones that occupy the centers project two inches, and are very striking. One might examine every part of the plant, and consider they all lacked some measure of what florists call ' ' finish, ' ' but there can be no question of their great value in the plant border. I should not hesitate to group it in a large bed for its stately grandeur, in gardens where it thrives in the plant border, but I would test it fully there first. It is not particular as to the quality of the soil provided it is planted a little above the general level. Droughts cannot harm it, for the roots reach incredible depths; but cold, rain-saturated soil in winter will cripple it as nothing else can. Spuri- ous forms are in cultivation, but are readily distinguished by having greenish foliage and uncommon vigor. — Garden- ers* Magazine. NOTES FROM ENGLAND. It is not often the general public has an opportunity to subscribe to a purely horticultural venture, but in one of the latest prospectuses the public is invited, through the Daily Mail, to subscribe £40,000 to the British Orchid & Nursery Co., Ltd. This company, with a capital of £50,000, is taking over the well- known high-class orchid importing and growing business of John Cowan & Co. of the Gateacre nurseries, near Liver- pool. There is no doubt that orchid cultivation is , annually growing with rapid strides and bids fair to become more popular, especially among the taid- dle class or prosperous business people. The company, with the three of the Cowan family as directors and managers, should be successful in dividend earning, as these gentlemen have been well known for many years to be orchid experts, whether in growing, collecting or im- porting. Each year brings results of fresh experiments, more or less successful, in retarded plants and bulbs. "We have now quite a catalogue of these out-of- season growths. In addition to the well-known lily of the valley and Japan liliums, we have spiraeas, lilacs. Azalea mollis, dielytra and others. It can hardly be said that the retarding of these is a commercial success, not that they cannot be flowered at the other end of their natural season with perfect suc- cess, as some fine exhibits of Azalea mollis in grandly flowered specimens at the November meeting of the Eoyal Horticultural Society has shown. But from a commercial standpoint the cost of retarding erect, bulky subjects, com- pared with the amount realized when bloomed, is altogether a losing business. Spiraeas, for instance, were tried for the London martets in big quantities. But the price realized was disappointing, with the. result that most growers who handle retarded stuff are again confining themselves to the less bulky and more profitable lily of the valley and Japan liliums. The black currant mite may be said to have practically destroyed the growth of this valuable fruit in the United Kingdom. Many acres have been dug up and burned after the grower had cultivated them for five or six years, with the hope of eventually gaining the mastery of the pest. B. J.

Until quite recently the greater num- ber of the florists of Newport have paid little attention to the plant department of their business, either at Christmas or Easter, excepting, of course, that they all had a fair supply of lilies for Easter, If they happened to have an assortment of plants of their own raising in condi- tion for Christmas sales, well and good; if not, little effort was made to procure them. I think that having settled down firmly to get along in this way they got themselves to believe there was no mar- ket here for plants at Christmas, or if there was, it was not important enough to arouse them to work for it. Now, however, when some one brings plants here, such as are offered in other cities, we see the plant trade at Christmas rival- ing the cut flower trade. But few of the plants offered were grown in Newport, and we have always heard, until lately, that it would not pay to grow plants here. I don't believe it did pay to grow the kind of stuff that was offered here in the past, but I think it would pay to grow the kind of stock seen in one or two stores this Christmas. The weather for several days before Christmas was not what dealers or buy- ers would have had if they had the power to make it, but Monday was pretty nearly right for all parties. There was not frost enough to make heavy wrap- ping necessary, and this was quite a con- sideration, especially to F. L. Ziegler, who, despite the employment of a num- ber of extra men, had all he could do filling counter orders. Other florists were also busy. Lorraine begonias went like hot cakes in front of a hungry hod carrier. Poin- settias were second in demand, although they were not extra good. Cyclamen were good and sold quickly. So did ar- disias, araucarias, primulas, azaleas and solanums. Palms were not looked at much, neither were ferns. Cut flowers sold in larger quantity than last year, at higher prices. Carnations brought from $1 per dozen up. Roses, excepting Beauties, $1.50 and up. Beau- ties were scarce. Violets were received in greater abundance than expectations warranted. They were good quality and met with a ready sale. There were some good Harrisii lilies offered at $2 to $3 per dozen. This was the first occasion when much consideration was given to small spruce trees in pots, but they went all right. Every one seemed to have gotten fully supplied with holly, but there was noth- ing like the glut of last year; on the contrary, a good price was maintained. The same may be said of trees, of which a scarcity was feared a week before Christmas, but they got here in numbers to fit the demands to a nicety. Max Reilly.

The Market The Christmas trade was better than in previous years, most retailers report- ing from ten to twenty-five per cent in- crease over last year, the stock averaging good. Prices were higher and held firm to the end. Very little unexpected stock came in, to cause a slump. The weather was ideal, not only on Christmas day but for several days previous. Just to show what a fine climate Denver has, there was a band concert in the City park, where one could sit on the benches with- out heavy wraps and enjoy the music. There was, of course, a decided scarc- ity in red flowers of all kinds. The fancy grades of carnations were $8 per hundred and retailed readily at $2 and $2.50 per dozen; none were less than $4 wholesale. Beauties sold, well and the supply was not heavy. The large stores sold out early at $20 per dozen. Brides and Maids also sold well. Maids being most called for, as well as Chatenay. The vio- let market was strong, quality good, the wholesale price $2 per hundred and the retail $4. Only one store had orchids and they sold well. The quantity of flowering plants sold was enormous, and to these must be added a moderate number of palms and ferns. Azaleas were almost as popular as at Easter and sold well. Lorraine be- gonias were fine and perhaps more of these were sold than of any other plant. Cyclamens were also in good demand, but as a rule no one had what might be called first-class stock. Poinsettias sold well, both cut and in growing form. Nice pans of these plants were largely used as table centerpieces. Among the novelties, the Park Floral Co. had Skimmia Japonica side by side with Ardisia crenulata. They were rather high in price in comparison with other stock, but sold well. Various Notes. The year 1907 was welcomed by soci- ety with a round of entertainments call- ing for the decorators' skill. The Den- ver club ball last Friday evening called for a large decoration. Eed and green were used in the various rooms. The work was done by A. H. Bush, of the Daniels & Fisher Stores Co. The Florists' Bowling League post- poned its games until after the holidays, the first match to be rolled January 7. The Scott Floral Co. has added a fine new wagon to its delivery department. E. S.

Could a box coil pipe boiler be con- verted into a steam boiler for green- house heating? J. L. K. No. I do not think it advisable to attempt to construct a steam boiler for greenhouse heating out of pipe coils. This would be a water tube boiler which would carry only a small amount of water, which would make it dangerous and uncertain. Water tube boilers for power purposes are not usually made in sizes smaller than 150 horse-power ex- cept for special uses, such as the flash boilers of automobiles. L. C. C. PIPE FOR HEATING. How many runs of pipe will be re- quired, what size, and how best arranged to heat with hot water three houses 10x80 feet, ridge and furrow plan, no center walls? The outside walls are four feet and fully exposed except for a shed on the west end. The boiler is located in a cellar under the shed opposite the center house. The temperature is sometimes 45 degrees below zero. J. B. The three houses in question can be piped as follows: If 2-inch pipe is used a 21^-inch flow under each ridge can be made to feed eight 2-inch returns through each house, i. e., three 2^ -inch flow pipes and twenty-four 2-inch returns for the entire plant. If the benches are so disposed as to allow placing the ra- diation under them it would be well to put one or two more pipes under the benches next to the outside walls than under the others. If the piping is to be hung on the outside walls and on the posts under the middle gutters, see that the heavy coils are placed on the outside walls. Six pipes on each outside wall will be none too much, then scatter the other twelve under the benches as beet you can to provide the desired bottom heat. L. C. C. TROUBLE WITH HEATING. I am having trouble with my heating plant. My house is 19%xl25, three feet to the eaves and nine feet to the ridge. The boiler is twenty-seven inches by six feet and has thirty-seven 1%-inch flues. I have one 2 1^ -inch flow which rises six POTS OF QUALITY If we were to manufacture greenhouse pots from any other kind of clay, our argument that IONIA.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THX Martiii Rocking Grate IT SAVES COAL MARTIN GRATE CO. 888 Dearborn St. CHICAGO rained most of the time, and the tem- perature remained warm enough to melt all down to the nastiest mess of mud and water it is possible to imagine. Again, cut flowers w^ere so high that it was not to be expected that there would be any immense rush of over-the-counter ^^® ^-tat we have had some years. We all knew days before Christmas that carnations from $1.50 to $2 per dozen, and roses from $2 to $4 per dozen (not American Beauties) would go slow, and they did. Eegular flower buyers bought liberally and made up a good average business; but many extra cus- tomers would not pay the prices. plants went well, but not with the rush they have some seasons. I think the mam reason for this was that, owing to tne great lack of sun all through De- cember, plants as a whole were of poor quality.

('onld a box coil ]iipe boiler bi; cuii- vertcil into a steam lioiler tor oreen- house lieatiiig.? J. L. K. No. T do not tliiiik it advisable to attempt to constnu't a steam boiler for greenhouse heatiiiii: out of pipe coils. This would be a water tube boiler which would carry only a small amount of water, which would make it dangerous and uncertain. Water tube boilers for power purpcises are not usually made in sizes smaller than 150 horse-power ex- cept for special uses, such as the flash boilers of automobiles. L. C. C. PIPE FOR HEATING. How many runs of pipe will be re- quired, what size, and how best arranged to heat \Aith hot water three houses 10x8(J feet, ridge and furrow plan, no center walls? The outside walls are four feet and fully exposed except for a shed on the west end. The l)oiler is located in a cellar uiuler the shed opposite tlie center house. The temperature is sometimes 45 degrees below zero. J. B. The three houses in question can be piped as follows: If L'-ineh pipe is used a L'lXinch flow under each ridge can be nuide to feed eight L!-inch returns through each house, i. e., three li^^-ineh llow pipes and twenty-four 2-inch returns for the entire plant. Jf the benches are so disposed as to allow placing the ra- diation under them it would Ix? well to put one or two more jupes under the ben(,-hes next to the out.'^ide walls than under the others. If the piping is to be hung on the outside walls and on the jjosts under the middle gutters, see that the heavy coils are placed on the outside walls. Six pipes on each outside wall will be none too much, then scatter the other twelve under the benches as best you can to provide the desired bottom iieat. L. C. C. TROUBLE WITH HEATING. I am having trouble with my heating plant. My house is 19ljxl25, three feet to the eaves and nine feet to the ridge. The boiler is twenty-seven inches by six feet and h.as thirty-seven 1^,4-inch flues.

Take as an example, our cypress house, it's the best thing of the kind built (something good) , but our Iron Frame is the very key-note of progress, it gives to you in one house all the strong points of our other construc- tions combined with the wonderful endurance of the iron frame (something better) . It's lighter — you know the difference by actual comparison. When any wooden part does go, it has no effect on the frame because the frame is entirely self-sustaining. It costs less in houses of good width and length — costs less for the fram- ing—costs less to erect.

He brought \vith him all his family except the eldest sion, who was then an active participant in the Crimean war. His father was a pyofessional gardener and soon obtained a good position after landing at New York. Antoine was 6 years old when tbey arrived, and between the years 1854 apd 1862 he attended the public schools, roost of the time at Flushing, N. Y., where his father had moved in 1857. In March, 1862, when he was 15 years old, he entered the Parsons establishment as an apprentice. At this time the Par- sons place was the largest producing nursery stock in America. Antoine Wintzer inherited a genius for finding out the requirements of plant life, and under the skilful guidance of J. K. Trumpy he rapidly acquired the practical features of growing grapes and roses, but after spending two years at Parsons' he became dissatisfied, because the line of work they kept him at was too narrow — so he left Parsons and en- gaged with Eugene Bauman, one of the most prominent landscape gardeners in the east. His idea was to learn land scape work, but Mr. Bauman, who had now settled at Kahway, N. J., found that Mr. "Vvintzer was such a skilful propa- gator that he gave him full charge of the one greenhouse that he then owned. He allowed Mr. Wiatzer to experiment with different methods of propagation and it was here that Mr. Wintzer reached settled conclusions, in certain lines, es- pecially the propagation of hardy shrub- bery, and he still feels that his experi- ence with Mr. Bauman has been a most valuable asset in his life work. At Rah- way Mr. "Wintzer contracted malaria, and left his position with Mr. Bauman to recuperate at his father's home in Flushing. After regaining his health Mr. Wint- zer felt afraid to go back to Eahway, so he engaged with Mahlon Moon, at Morrisville, Pa., as propagator of ever- greens, roses, etc., but his stay here was a short one, he being again threatened with an attack of malaria. From Morrisville he went to Sewick- ley, Pa., and engaged with James War- drope, but here again his stay was as brief, as he again contracted malaria and left for home, but Mr. Wintzer has most delightful recollections of his short so- journ at Wardrope's. This brings us to a new chapter in his life, for, after again recovering his health, he went to West Grove, Pa., to accept a position with the Dingee & Conard Co. He arrived at West Grove July 31, 1866, the anniversary of his wife's birth, so he says he cannot forget the date. On August 1 he commenced work for the Dingee & Conard Co. as propagator. They had two small green- houses, 10x80 feet each, at this time. This company at that time was doing a general nursery business, having over 300 acres devoted to the growing of fruit and ornamental trees, shrubbery, roses, etc., which were sold almost en- tirely through agents. This business proved to be unprofitable and it was Mr. Wintzer's ability as a propagator of roses that saved the company from being totally wrecked financially, for it was perceived that there was an increasing demand for roses grown on their own roots, and Mr. Wintzer was very suc- cessful in growing the roses, by a process which he claims was his own invention. At this time the roses were sold almost entirely as one-year plants and shipped by mail to the purchaser. By advertis- ing in a very few papers, enough custom- ers were found to take all the roses they years and the number he could grow waa only limited by the space at his com- mand to grow them in. Unfortunately, in 1892, differences arose in the management of the Dingee & Conard Co. and the late Alfred F. Conard, who had always been president of the company, withdrew. A year later, in 1893, Mr. Wintzer withdrew, leaving to others the splendid business that had been reared upon his life work as a skilful, untiring and devoted grower of the queen of flowers. Mr. Wintzer had purchased a small farm about one mile from West Grove and had built thereon a commodious modern residence and in the fall of 1893 he erected two greenhouses. His busi- ness was continued with varying success and connections till 1897. He was anx- ious to enlarge the business and the late Alfred F. Conard, who had been asso- ciated with him for so many years pre- vious to 1892, and S. Morris Jones, a business man of West Grove, knowing Mr. Wintzer's great ability as a propa- gator, furnished capital to organize the Conard & Jones Co. The new company Antoine Wintzer. could grow in the few greenhouses that then comprised the plant. But other greenhouses were built and a catalogue published to help make sales, so the business grew and prospered and almost every year new glass was added to the plant. This continued till the year 1892, when the greenhouses numbered seventy. Mr. Wintzer's ability as a propagator was now fully established; he had pro- duced fine, healthy rose plants all these purchased from Mr. Wintzer thirty-five acres of ground and his plant, which had grown to seven greenhouses. That year the company erected seven more greenhouses, an up-to-date packing- house, a large boiler-room, and coal bins, and a frost-proof house for storing dor- mant plants. The new company has been very successful, so that the plant has now been largely increased in size. They issue a large catalogue, roses having first 540 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Januabt 10, 1907. place, and in connection therewith shrub- bery, eannas, bedding and decorative plants, flower seeds and bulbs. In 1893, when Mr. Wintzer started business on his own account, he com- menced a careful, methodical line of work to improve the canna. In this line he has been successful beyond his most sanguine expectation, but most de- servedly so, for no one who has not fol- lowed him in it can imagine the amount of work or the time required to develop a shade of color when there is no parent of that shade to work with. It takes exceptionally good judgment on the part of the hybridizer to improve each suc- ceeding year the feature in the plant or flower that he is trying to develop. Mr. Wintzer has shown that he has this abil- ity in a marked degree, and Mont Blanc, Buttercup, Betsy Ross, "West Grove, Maiden's Blush, and other varieties that he has raised place him in the first rank, if not at the head of canna producing experts. Mr. Wintzer at the age of 59 years is still as hard a worker as ever, his health is good and we look forward to many more years of successful work from his hands and brain. Above all else Mr. Wintzer wants it to be understood that rose growing is his specialty; he wants the company of which he has been vice- president and manager since its start to be recognized as second to none in pro- ducing roses of the best quality, on their own roots, and he wants to live long enough to establish the fact that his method of propagating roses is the best method that has yet been devised. PETUNIA THE QUEEN. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of a new seedling petunia named The Queen. This originated with the Yates Floral Co., at Canajoharie, N. Y., and the seed is to be distributed jointly by the Yates Floral Co. and the Scranton Florists' Supply Co., Scran- ton, Pa. The illustration shows a most attractive plant, the large flowers being remarkably doulale and the general habit of the plant excellent. The double pe- tunia is in high favor, through recent improvements, and this sort is sure to be widely tested as soon as the originator is ready to offer seeds. Astilbe. It is time to start astilbe, because, as will be often said, Easter is so early. We can scarcely call astilbe a profitable plant. It takes up lots of room, and yet we don't like to be without a batch of it. It does not occupy the benches long and can be entirely cleaned out after Easter. The first two weeks in the greenhouse it is just as well off beneath a bench, or until the foliage starts, when it should be given light. The plants usually are rammed into 6-inch pots, sometimes 7-inch or 8-inch. Whatever size it is, the pot is filled with a mass of roots by flowering time and it is almost impossible to give the roots water enough. A month before they are in flower stand every plant in a saucer in which keep constantly some weak liquid manure. You will soon notice a marked difference between these plants and those that are permitted to dry out several times daily. Propagating Beddiog Plants. How is your propagating bed doing? From now on for two months the most favorable conditions prevail for rooting the great majority of soft-wooded bed- ding plants. Such quick rooting plants as coleus, ageraturas, etc., can wait a few weeks, but there are others that should now receive attention. That use- ful little variegated geranium, Mme. Sal- leroi, that we recommended you to lift in the fall, now can be pulled to pieces. Every shoot will root and make a good bedding plant for the month of May. Lemon verbenas and lantanas that have been resting beneath a bench since they were brought in should be shaken out, repotted, the green tips of the wood cut back, frequently syringed, and they will soon give you an abundance of cuttings which ropt easily if never allowed to wilt in the sand. ';' " ' When you start your hydrangeas they will be sure to provide you a few cut- tings that will spring from the base of the plant. These are the best of cut- tings and if they go into the sand you will have a good start to make fine plants for growing in pots this summer. Acalypha is another plant that should be propagated now. It is difficult to get satisfactory plants of lobelias from seed for baskets and vases and it is better to pot a few plants in the fall, cutting back the long growths. Cuttings of these should be put in, also that useful little plant, the double sweet alyssum, of which we sel- dom have too many when bedding time comes. Seeds to Sow. There are not many seeds to be sown now. If your business calls for the filling of vases and window-boxes, then you should sow some Dracaena indivisa, which is unequaled as a plant to stand all weathers. It takes two years from seed to make a plant of useful size, but it is well to sow some every year and then you will not run out of this hardy plant. Another useful plant is Grevillea robusta. It is called the silk oak and its fern-like foliage is very useful, es- pecially in window-boxes. Although many consider it early to sow verbenas, they should be sown by the end of the month. They do not always germinate successfully and if sown this month you will be able to get a cutting from each seedling. Procure seeds of the best strain you hear of. Some seed houses catalogue verbena seed in sep- arate colors, red, blue, white, etc., but a good mixture will generally fill the bill. The advantage of seedling verbenas over plants from cuttings is that they are free from mildew, rust and other dis- eases which nearly always aMct plants carried over winter 'in a greenhouse. The seedlings are sure to grow and flower freely. Verbena Venosa. Don 't forget at the end of the month or early in February, to sow a packet of Verbena venosa. This is a distinct species from our common verbenas and is always raised from seed, a strong, vigorous grower, free flowering, of a bright purple color and when in combi- Seedling Petunia The Queen. u ' "5IK^ January 10. 1907.

Pricked out in flats, it does finely trans- planted to the flower beds. ; Ferns for Window-boxes, For the last two seasons we have been called on to fill many veranda-boxes with plants of Boston and Scottii ferns alone. Many people prefer the cool and grace- ful fern fronds to flowering plants and I think their taste is correct, so no foot of bench-room should be left unoccupied. Any corner where you can spread four or five inches of soil should be filled with young plants of these ferns. They will make twice the growth they would in pots. They can be lifted after Easter and put into 5-inch pots and be estab- lished by the middle of May. Easter Plants. We are having a dark, gloomy winter, but not a cold one.

Not only is Mr. Beyer able to execute any order lie may get but he is thoroughly acquainted with the purchasing power of a dollar under varying conditions and applies himself closely to business, two qualifications which go a long way toward success. He has made good progress since he started for himself at South Bend. He early found he had not the patronage that would stand the prices charged for the best stock in high class metropolitan stores, but that a satisfactory volume of business could be done with dependable stock, living prices, and on this line he is steadily developing his business. SEASONABLE FLOWER SEEDS. "Will you kindly inform me what flower seeds can be sown for both Easter and Decoration day? W. C. E. We know of few, if any, flower seeds that can be sown as late as this and be in flower at Easter, unless it be the candytuft, which you should sow at once in flats and when an inch or so high transplant in four or five inches of soil, six inches apart, in a cool house and on a light bench. In plants or roots there is a greater variety that could be brought in by Easter if planted and started at once. There are astilbe and freesia, be- sides many hardy shrubs that there is plenty of time to start yet for Easter, and deutzia and lilac. But I really can- not think of any seeds that can be sown now that would be useful or profitable. Sweet peas can be sown now in a light, sunny house and would be in flower for Decoration day, and cold storage Japan lilies, if procured at once, started and kept in a cool house, would come in by the end of May. The above is too big a query. Ask us something more specific. W. S. CARNATION NOTES-EAST. Continued Use of Propagating; Sand. As has many times been stated in these notes, cleanliness is essential in all ope- rations connected with propagation, and to express more clearly the full meaning of the word, it may be well to state that there are at least three degrees of clean- liness: tolerably clean, clean and spot- lessly clean — the latter, figuratively speaking, being the degree to strive for. This is especially true as regards those details which have to do with maintain- ing the sand in good condition for suc- cessive batches of cuttings. My recent advice, to leave the propa- gating sand outdoors until near the time needed was with the object of exposing it to the action of frost. This, I be- lieve, is not only, for all practical pur- poses, as beneficial as sterilization, but, as is the case with soil, it is in a certain sense improved mechanically, or physi- cally, as you may choose. After being screened to remove peb- bles, sticks and all other foreign matter possible, a still further inspection should be made during filling and leveling in the bench to make sure no matter subject to decay remains. Before firming it is our practice to flush the bench; that is, to apply suffi- cient clear, cold water to flood the whole. In passing off the water will carry out small particles of soil or clay if present. Prepare cuttings in a place apart from the propagating house, at least from the bench, to guard against any trimmings getting into the sand. Any and all in a batch of well cared for cuttings showing signs of wilt should be removed. The chances are they will decay, causing trouble, and even if revived and eventu- ally rooted they will turn out cripples. During the interval between insert- ing in sand and rooting, give two or three weak applications of ammoniacal copper solution, A teaspoonful to five gallons of water is about the proper strength. These are not extra applica- tions of water, but the addition of the solution to the regular watering, and applied in the same manner, it being as- sumed that this operation is done with a fine rose. After removing a rooted batch, loosen up the sand to a depth of an inch* or so by raking, allowing a few days to air out; and if during this time the sun can have full play on the space, all the better. This depends, however, on the weather, arrangements of shade, etc. With all careful preparation and due attention to every detail calculated to prevent trouble, there is no positive as- surance that we shall be free from it. To gain success we must also have strong, healthy stock from which to obtain cut- tings. There must be no laxity on the part of a grower in his attention to wa- tering, temperature, shading and, to touch once more on that perhaps thread- bare subject, cleanliness. How often, alas! do we see the paths of a propagat- ing house strewn with discarded cut- tings, or other refuse, the sashbars sadly in need of a scrubbing and, if nothing more, a coat of whitewash. To allow carelessness to enter into the work of propagation, thinking to remedy the evil, more than likely to occur by fre- quent change of sand, seems to me a waste of time and raw material. Geo. S. Osborn. BENCHING A LOV HOUSE. I want to bench a low house for car- nations. The house is four feet at the gutters. I use steam heat. I want to make the benches as low as possible and get the best results. How low should that be? Will it be best to put the heat- ing pipes under the benches? P. H. You do not give enough data about your. house for me to form an opinion as to arrangement of benches and pipes. If it is a single, or detached, house, with glass under the gutter on the south side, there should be no trouble. You can make the benches as low as you like in that case. But if the sides are boarded up to the gutters, then you will not be able to get much out of the south bench in the way of cut blooms. Either taie off the boards on the south side and put in glass down to within eighteen inches of the ground, or else raise that bench high enough so that it will get the sun all winter and, if it is not far enough away from the glass for blooming plants then use it for low-growing stock, such as your young carnation plants, etc. When there is no shading to be taken into ac- count, then the height of your benches should be governed by what you may consider the most convenient to work. Allow at least thirty inches for head- room, but more will be better. The steam pipes do not need to be under the benches; in fact, they should not be unless there is enough room so they can be a foot away from the bench soil. Otherwise you will have trouble in keeping the soil from drying out at the bottom. Distribute them evenly through the house; that is the main point. A. F. J. B. FEEDING CARNATIONS. I want to feed my carnations. What proportion of pulverized sheep manure would you use in the soil for this pur- pose? F. E. M. Mix your pulverized sheep manure with soil, say about one part manure to two parts of screened soil. Spread this on the bench about half an inch thick and water soon after. This makes an excel- lent food if your plants are in good con- dition for it. A. F. J. B. GOOD COMPANIONS. We are going to plant a part of one house to Enchantress next summer and would like to know if Lady Bountiful, for white, would do to plant in the other part. Will they stand the same tempera- ture and treatment? A. E. & S. Yes, Lady Bountiful will do splendidly in the same house with Enchantress. Both enjoy the same temperature. Plant Bountiful where the light is the strong- est and Enchantress where there is the most shade from the roof, etc. Bounti- ful will come more free from that pink mottling you sometimes see when the light is weak in cold weather, while En- chantress will have a -better color when not subjected to the glaring sunlight. A. F. J. B. SPLIT CARNATION FLOWERS. Improved methods in growing carna- tions and the introduction of improved varieties, though having made great progress in the last decade, have not as yet mitigated to any great degree the provoking habit of the divine flower of producing a large percentage of mal- formed blooms, commonly termed splits. How to mend these flowers so as to en- able the grower to obtain as high a price for them as possible has no doubt en- gaged the best attention of not a few carnation specialists. Split carnations are a product of every carnation growing establishment, which, we are safe to say, will be with us for some years to come at least, and what careful cultural meth- ods fail to accomplish while the blooms are developing on the plants must be provided for after they are cut. A little device upon which a patent has been applied for by the inventor, A. J. Baur, of Erie, Pa., does the work, is practically invisible and leaves the > JANDABT 10, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 543 As picked. After niendliiK'. A Bursted Carnation Calyx Repaired With Baur^s New Wire Clip. least possible room for objection from even the most particular customer. In- stead of passing around or through the flower, the little wire clip used serves simply to hold together the two broken edges of the split calyx, holding it in its natural position and bringing the petals into the position that they would have occupied had the calyx not been split. So well is this accomplished that Mr. Baur says the flowers, after being thus mended, have been regularly sold with the highest grade at the highest price of fancy blooms, and thus far not a single objection has been heard. The accompanying illustrations give a good idea of the work done by the de- vice. The first two illustrations are from photographs as nearly true to life as an expert photographer was able to make them. They were taken from the same flower, of the variety Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson, before and after mending. The small portion of the wire clip used to mend the break that shows outside the calyx may be seen in the illustration if carefully looked for. No effort was made to conceal anything in taking and finish- ing the pictures, the photographer being instructed to bring out the details as nearly true to life as possible, so that all that is lost is in making the plates and printing. The wire clip, being made of galvanized wire, is almost invisible against the color of carnation foliage. In the illustration showing the mended flower a slight malformation may be seen in the arrangement of the petals. This is due to the difficulty of having been compelled to put on the clip with a common pair of pincers, the brass model being in the hands of the manu- facturer at the time of taking the pic- tures. One of the guard petals was de- stroyed in the operation, giving a por- tion of the flower an empty appearance. The third picture shows the pincers that are used in applying the clips. It was taken from a wooden model, for the same reason as that above mentioned — that the brass model was in the hands of the manufacturer. It was not possible to show the smaller details in the in- strument on this account, but the pic- ture gives a good idea of the general construction of the pincers. The jaws are shaped so that the wire clips can be easily and quickly picked up. The front end of the pincers is provided with two prongs, by means of which the stray petals are pushed up into their natural position with one movement, and the act of catching the two broken edges of the calyx and pressing down the teeth of VISIBLE t INVISIBLE Actual Size and Visible Parts of Clip. the clip complete the operation. It is all done in much less time than it takes to tell it. The fourth illustration shows the exact shape and size of the wire clip a»d how much of it is visible after being applied to the flower. The clip used at present and shown in the second picture is made of No. 22 wire, but a smaller size will be used in the manu- held at Toronto this month, where the invention and the work done by it will pass under the critical scrutiny of the foremost carnation men of the country. CAHNATION NOTES.- WEST. Handling New Varieties. You will soon be receiving cuttings of the new varieties you bought if you were wise enough to get your order in early. Those that have already reached me are all nice, clean stock and if kept growing will make fine plants for benching. What a difference there is between the stock that is sent out nowadays, of the novelties, and the way they used to reach us a few years ago ! This is as it should be, and if you do not succeed with the varieties sent out it is your own fault, generally. I say this advisedly and I Avill tell you why so many times you fail with a variety after the originator had great success with it. One of the most frequent causes of failure is your greed. You get the idea into your head that $12 per hundred is a big price to pay, but that you will be smart this time and steal a march on the disseminator. You will demand your cuttings early, extra early, and when they come you will pot them into rich soil and set them in the warm end of the house and whoop them up every way you can. About March 1 you will get a good cutting off of each plant, and instead of 100 plants you will have 200 plants for the $12. In taking off that cutting you cut down that young plant close to the pot; in fact, you take away most of the plant. If it were a strong, sturdy young plant it would hurt it most severely; but think how it must injure a plant that has been forced to make a quick, unnatural growth, to suddenly take off practically all the growing portion when it is in full growth. The check is most ruinous. When the lower eyes break out it is in a half-hearted way and the growth is weak and prone to contract any disease that happens along; so that by planting- out time you have 100 plants that are crippled and weak and 100 cuttings that are very late, and are practically bloom- ing shoots, too near the bud to make really first-class plants. Had you potted up the original cut- tings, the same as your regular stock, given them the same care and topped Model of Baur's Pincers for Applying Clip to Split Carnation Calyx. facture of those that will be offered for sale, namely No. 25. The inventor anticipates a great de- mand for the device, and with that in view has given a large order for its man- ufacture. He will be at the convention of the American Carnation Society to be them properly, you would have had 100 fine, sturdy plants instead of a lot of runts. The next winter you not only be- come disgusted with the variety and throw out a good thing, but you lose the revenue from the space they occupy. You not only hurt yourself financially 544 The Weekly Florists' Review^ January 10, 1907. and wrong the variety, but you wrong the originator. Don't imagine that when you pay him the money, the deal is done with as far as he is concerned. While he would perhaps not care, and perhaps would have no legal right to care, if you made a dozen cuttings from each cutting he sells you, yet he has a right to de- mand that you handle them in such a manner that they will be able to show their real worth. Wlien a plant breeder sends out a new variety he has more at stake than the money he expects to take in from the sales. His reputation is worth more to him than the money, for upon that reputation will depend his fu- ture success in launching new varieties upon the market. And so, when he ships you a portion of the stock that he sends out, he also sends you a portion of his reputation with it, and for which you are responsible. When you ruin the plants you also ruin that much of his reputation, unless you will let it be known that it was your fault entirely that the variety failed. Another reason is that you do not take enough pains to acquaint yourself with the peculiarities of a variety and its special wants. You buy a dozen new varieties, set them side by side and han- dle them exactly alike from beginning crop to come just right and of high qual- ity; while another variety, if topped back after being housed, will refuse to make another crop until toward spring. It takes an expert to foresee these things and even then he will miss it fre- quently. When you buy a new variety, write to the originator for instructions. He will gladly give them, if the variety needs any special treatment, for the sake of his own reputation. Ask him about the texture of his soil, about feeding and about the temperature required and about the stem; whether it needs strengthening with wood ashes, etc. Also whether the variety is inclined to disease in any way, and about thrips, etc. I am sure I would not hesitate to answer any such questions honestly, and it ought not to injure the sale of any variety. When a man tells you that a variety is proof against all the ills of the spe- cies, that it has not a single fault and that it outranks all others in quality and quantity, then you had better investigate a little, quietly, before you invest. I have never known such a variety and I doubt if you ever will. But do not mis- take peculiarities for faults. They are quite distinct. A peculiarity can be remedied or, at least, need not be detri- VI. John E. Haines. to end. Part of them succeed while oth- ers fail, simply because they should have had a little different treatment. For in- stance, one variety may want to be topped close until it has made a good stool, while another, if topped too muih, will grow grassy. One will want to %e planted early, while another will suffar if disturbed during hot weather. One variety will make an early crop of in- ferior blooms, which, if taken off while in the bud stage, will cause the next mental, while a fault cannot be over- come altogether, and is harmful. A. F.

This addition of one hour to the time for staging was thought advisable on ac- count of the fact that some of the trains do not get in until 10:30 a. m. and if they should be a bit late it would not give exhibitors time to get their flowers staged by 1 p. m.

A VISIT TO J. E. HAINES. A very interesting collection of carna- tions was seen on a visit to J. E. Haines, at Bethlehem, Pa., last week. Mr. Haines, who began this business but twelve years ago, he tells us, has all his life been a great lover of flowers. He has taken a great fancy to raising seed- lings and has a number of good promise. Twelve years ago he put up a small greenhouse to grow lettuce, radishes, etc., more for a pastime than for profit. In a few years he began experimenting in carnations and finally devoted all his time to growing new varieties of carna- tions, finding the work interesting and having good results. Last year he distributed the John E. Haines, red, named for himself. On the home place this is looking grand, full of buds from one end of the house to the other. William Mangan, the foreman, tells us that they look just that way from the time they begin to bloom until thrown out in July. He says they make three blooms to any other red he has yet seen. In color, it certainly is fine. Though it was quite widely disseminated in 1906, orders are coming in nicely this year. The benches of Imperial and Pink Im- perial show that they are vigorous grow- ers. The stems run high above every- thing else grown in the houses. The colors are takers in this vicinity, as well as in New York at A. J. Guttman's, where they found ready sale over the Christmas holidays. Mr. Haines was not able to supply one-third of the demand. Each year he uses more plants for flow- ering purposes and eac"h year the demand is greater. Among the coming varieties is a fine daybreak pink, a shade deeper than En- chantress, somfewhat like the La France rose shade, well formed, fine calyx, and large; a flower now in bloom measures three and three-fourths inches. It has long, stiff stems, and is a thrifty grower. Mr. Haines also has a pink which he has marked No. 6. He says it is the great- est producer he has ever grown, begin- ning early and blooming the whole year round. It is good for field blooming as well as indoors. - The Star of Bethlehem, a pure yellow, is a pleasing shade, a free bloomer and has good stem. There are other promis- ing pink, white, red and variegated seedlings coming on. On the place can be seen Enchantress, My Maryland, White Perfection, Poca- hontas and Jessica. William J. Mangan, a good all-round man, has charge of the growing part. The houses never looked better. He has worked among flowers since he was a boy of 10 years. The last six years previous to entering the employ of Mr. Haines he was in the em- January 10, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 545 ploy of John Wanamaker, Philadelphia. Mr. Haines is also assisted by his daugh- ter Mrs. George Haines Weber, who takes great interest in the business and aids her father by keeping the books and attending to the correspondence. In the summer of 1906, three green- houses were added to the plant. They are filled with his three new varieties, John E. Haines, which was disseminated to produce fine flowers of the popular annual. I would recommend you to try a few of all the leading varieties, or at least the leading varieties, which are Comet, Victoria, Truffaut's Peony-flow- ered and the late branching form. There are other varieties, but the above will cover the season, especially if you in- clude the Early Market variety. For an early crop the seed is usually la the New Houses of J. E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa. in 1906, and Imperial and Pink Impe- rial, now being sent out. FORCING FOR EASTER. Which are the best strains of ten weeks' stocks and candytuft for forcing for cut flowers and when should they be sown to be in bloom for Easter? When must gladioli bulbs be planted in a tem- perature of 50 degrees to be in bloom for Easter f W. B. & S. The ten weeks' variety of stock is the only one you could expect to get in flower by Easter, sowing as late as this. These come in a variety of colors; a pure white called Mount Blanc is fine. The finest white candytuft you can buy is Empress and both the stocks and can- dytuft should be sown at once. If you contemplate growing candytuft every sea- son you must select the finest spikes for seed. By selection for several years you can produce a strain of candytuft which will be a wonderful improvement on the seed you bought. It is impossible to flower common gladioli by Easter, 1907, in a tempera- ture of 50 degrees. I doubt if they would be in bloom in any temperature by that date. They are very slow. If planted now they would be in bloom dur- ing May. W. S. ASTERS IN MISSOURL Kindly let me know what varieties of asters in all colors would pay best to grow in the state of Missouri. What time should the seed be sown and how should they be handled for early outdoor blooming t W. W. I know of no reason why asters are difficult to grow in Missouri, but have been told by residents of St. Louis that the climate of Missouri is not favorable sown in flats only covered enough to hide the seed. When the seed leaf is fully developed they are transplanted into other flats in two or three inches of soil, one inch or a little more apart. This transplanting is a simple job, yet there are one or two points about it that you should be particular to observe. For in- stance, the seedlings must be planted seedlings into a vacant carnation or vio- let bed, but I prefer the flats of con- venient size, because they can be re- moved outdoors and the plants hardened off and the plants can be carried in them to the very spot where you are planting in the field. Our first sowing is made in early March and other sowings at intervals of two weeks. Many asters are sown in coldframes in drills and transplanted in other frames. Animal manure is consid- ered better than any chemical fertilizer for asters and they should be within reach of the hose, for many a fine field is often ruined by a long spell of dry weather. In the months of July and August, and sometimes September, the early varieties can be planted one foot apart. Victoria and Truffaut's should have at least eighteen inches of space and the branching varieties two feet. Leave out every fifth row of plants. You will need this space to hoe, water and pick flowers. W. S. STOCK FOR MEMORIAL DAY. Please tell me what is the best lily and its treatment for Decoration day. Also, what other plants and flowers are profit- able for florists with small ranges? E. E. The Japan lilies, or, more properly, the bulbs of Lilium longiflorum grown in Japan, are best for this late date. It would be quite feasible to leave these lilies out in a frame until the first part of March and then, with little forcing, have them in flower for Memorial day. But there would be danger of their be- ing hurt by our cold weather of January and February. Therefore, I would ad- vise potting them when received and after six weeks in the coldframe bring them into the greenhouse the middle of December and place them in a cool house. A house 40 to 45 degrees at night will be warm enough. The natural In the New Houses of J. E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa. deep enough so that the seed leaf is rest- ing on the surface of the soil, and the soil must be made firm and compact around the roots of the seedlings. The first watering will settle the soil on the surface sufficiently. Instead of flats you can transplant the increase of temperature and sunlight will bring them on fast enough. Some ten years ago, when the Japan bulbs first began to be imported, we re- ceived 1,000 bulbs too late, we then thought, to force for Easter. So we kept them in a cool house and they came 546 The Weekly Florists' Review* jANUABr 10, 1907. in just right for Memorial day. They were free of all disease and I have never once seen a more even lot of plants. We don't attribute the success to any special treatment so much as we do to the fact that the plants were well ripened before being dug and the bulbs were fully matured. So anxious are we to re- ceive the bulbs early that the Japanese dig the bulbs in a green state and this is the cause of dissatisfaction and irreg- ular growth of these lilies. Save some of your roots of astilbe un- til the first part of April and then pot them. The astilbe is such a hardy plant you can store it almost anywhere during the winter months. But covered with two or three inches of soil in a coldf rame is better than leaving the roots in the cases they arrived in. Besides, there is the standard crop of flowers — roses, car- nations and sweet peas. The latter should be in prime order at the end of May, You might sow some candytuft about the middle of March. Sow the lat- ter in drills on a bench and when two or three inches high transplant to six inches apart on the bed or bench. If you have a bed of lily of the valley outside cover it with sash before the bells open. It will be a very different article from that exposed to rains. For flowering plants it is the season of plenty. Our zonal gera- niums are in full flower, also the show pelargoniums. Fuchsias and some hy- drangeas are worth keeping for this day. W. S. STOCKS. What course shall I pursue with stocks in order to have them bloom for Easter? My plants are now coming up. F. B. F. If the strain of stocks is the ten weeks' variety I know of no better plan than to grow them along and shift when necessary on a light bench in a tempera- ture of 50 degrees. If it is the Mid- lothian or any of the branching vari- eties, it will be difficult to get them into flower by Easter. You must be con- tent to have them flower in April and May, when they will, I hope, pay you as cut flowers. W. S. CARNATION SOQETY EXHIBITS. Some misunderstanding seems to ex- ist regarding carnation exhibits coming to Toronto for the convention and exhi- bition of the American Carnation Soci- ety. Kindly give prominence to the fol- lowing: Those sending exhibits only require the tags and stickers furnished by Sec- retary Herr to insure their goods being delivered at the exhibition hall at To- ronto without delay. Arrangements have been made with the Canadian cus- toms officials to pass all goods bearing said tags and stickers. No other papers or valuation invoices are required by the customs officer. Shippers should write at once to Secretary Albert M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa., for tags and .stickers for as many boxes as they will send. No other precaution is necessary except to ship in time and wrap safely. We often have winter in Toronto. T). J. Sinclair. GRAFTING. Grafting of stock for indoor work is, year by year, becoming common and this is a sure sign that in the majority of cases the results have been satisfactory. To be certain that grafted stock will be more remunerative than own root stock, in your own particular class of soil, it is well to make an experiment with both kinds, giving each a fair trial side by side before going to the expense of using grafted stock exclusively; as in many of the heavy soils own root stock seems to be quite as satisfactory, if not more so, than grafted stock. We must also take into consideration the varieties we intend to grow, as some of our varieties, such as Beauty, Meteor, Chatenay and, possibly, Bichmond, suc- ceed best on their own roots. In order to make a success of this method of grafting, the operator must provide himself with a suitable case in which to place the newly grafted stock immediately after the operation is com- pleted and where they will have to re- main until the stock and scion are united. This case should be made practically air tight, covered with glass sashes, and should be piped, so that a minimum of 80 degrees can be maintained under any conditions of weather. By having the case air tight it gives the operator full control as regards temperature and moisture of the inside of the case, with- out which little success can be attained. If the Manetti stocks have been prop- erly cared for since they were potted in November they will now be in good con- dition for the grafting table. Stocks which have made good root action and have just begun to swell the buds are more satisfactory than those which have been allowed to break the buds and show an inch or two of growth. If there are any of those among tlie stocks the buds should be rubbed off and the plants set back into a cool temperature for a few days. The selection of the scion should be made with even greater care than is usu- ally exercised in the selection of wood for cuttings, having in view the relative size of the stock and the condition of growth. The scion should be, if possible, of well ripened wood, of a size nearly approaching the size of the stock, for reasons which will be apparent further on. Those who contemplate grafting their own stock will find these and following remarks more useful and clear if they would take the trouble to visit some es- tablishment where this method of prop- agation is being practiced. They can then apply the advice offered here with better results after a good object lesson. Kibes. NEW ROSES IN EUROPE. Undoubtedly the rose of the year is the beautiful variety. Queen of Spain, says the London Garden. S. Bide & Sons, of Farnham, are to be congratu- lated upon this, their first introduction among roses, and as they have begun so well it is to be hoped they will continue to add to the collection roses of equal merit. Many who saw the variety when first staged at the National Rose Show thought it deserved a gold medal, and so it did, Mr, Bide, junior, informed the writer that Queen of Spain was raised from Antoine Eivoire crossed with another variety, but what that was he could not say. The color is pale flesh with a darker center, the tint being much intensified upon plants one year old. It possesses the valuable quality of erect stems, so that the handsome flowers are borne well above the foliage, a trait it inherits from its maternal parent. It has especially good, lasting flowers, a fact fully demonstrated by the freshness of the blooms at the end of the two days' show at Holland House. No one can deny that fully three- fourths of the novelties introduced at the present day are of a very flimsy character, although charming in color, and, as garden roses, they are excellent, but there is room for many more of the type of Queen of Spain. Perhaps the second rose of the year is William Shean. It received the gold medal of the National Rose Society last July. I was assured that it was one of the best introductions of A. Dickson & Sons, of Newtownards. It is described as a large flower whose color is of vary- ing shades of pink, from reddish pink in the center to palest pink in the outer petals. When opening the form is good. The fully expanded bloom is almost in- termediate in form between La France and Caroline Testout. It is one of the big roses, the petals being immense, and it must prove a highly valuable sort. For vases and other decorative work such roses have a distinct value when they can be cut with extra long stems, and judging from the plant exhibited this seems possible with William Shean. The third novelty of the year is of continental origin, and is known as Mme, Constant Soupert, It is an exquisite flower, somewhat pointed, with grand petals and beautiful form. The color is rich golden yellow, with a margin of bright rosy red to its petals. It is reputedly a cross between Souvenir de Pierre Netting and Duchesse Maria Sal- viati, Soupert & Notting, of Luxem- bourg, are the raisers, Dora is a seedling from Antoine Ei- voire. It has been splendidly exhibited, especially in pots, and I believe it has a January 10, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review* 547 Carnation House of Bertermann Bros. Co., at Cumberland, lad. great future, 'xhe color is a peach blos- som tint, with deeper centers. Celia is another fine novelty, but will be valued more as a garden rose than an exhibi- tion flower, although for this latter pur- pose it will prove useful by reason of its substantial blossoms and exquisite shape. It is a prodigious bloomer, and makes a thick bush, more vigorous, per- haps, than Grace Darling. The color is a soft satin pink. Both these were raised by William Paul & Son, of Wal- tham Cross. OUTDCX>R ROSES FOR CUTTING. I wish to raise some roses to cut in the field and desire to know what kinds would give the best results in Maryland. B. S. Possibly the writer of the above may mean what class of roses is best for blooms outdoors, instead of what kinds. What are known as the hybrid perpetual class are the only truly hardy roses, but their season is short, the earliest blos- soms opening about June 20, in this lo- cality", and continuing to flower for a month. Six first-class varieties of this class are Ulrich Brunner, Paul Neyron, Magna Charta, Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Clio and John Hopper. This list could be greatly lengthened, and all worth growing if properly cultivated. Plant dormant stock this coming spring, as soon as the ground is dry, and cut down to within a few eyes of the bud. Don 't expect any great quantity of flowers the first summer. Be content with a strong growth, which, if cut down to within four or five eyes of the pre- vious growth, will be sure to give you a grand burst of bloom the following sum- mer. The first spring after planting the roses should have an abundance of water and a mulch of two or three inches of dairy manure to keep the surface of the ground from baking. Plantings of roses of these varieties should last for years if properly pruned. The trouble is, you are too much afraid to prune. After the second year, when you should get a full crop of flowers, you must prune every spring down to within three or four eyes of the previous year's growth. Straw- ing up the plants in winter does not amount to much and is not worth the t u^* ^^*^^^'* spread six inches of stable manure around the base of the plant. While on the subject of real hardy roses, I have often thought we ought to have a quantity of the ramblers, the Crimson Kambler, the Farquhar and Dorothy Perkins. What splendid mate- rial a branch of any of these ramblers would be for a decoration. All the prun- ing they need is to cut out the old wood that flowered last summer. The tea, or truly ever-blooming roses, are not hardy and must be planted an- nually, but there is another class known as hybrid teas, some of which are satis- factory for summer blooming in our northern states. Best of all is Maman Cochet, the color of Bridesmaid, and its white form. These are especially worth cultivation and protection in winter. La France, Admiral Schley, Gruss an Teplitz, a fine crimson rose, President Carnot, Balduin and Etoile de Lyon and many more of this class could be recom- mended. You are doubtless aware that roses of any class do not do well in a light, shal- low, sandy soil and especially unfavorable is a worn-out old garden, however much manure you may add to the soil. If you are growjng these roses for cut flowers it will pay to disbud all of them, leaving only the strongest perfect bud; and if you can apply cold water at a pressure of thirty pounds to the square inch and apply it' every morning, from the time the leaf buds break into growth until the blossom opens, you won't be bothered with aphis or any other enemy of the rose. W. S. THE BERTERMANN PLANT. The accompanying illustrations are from photographs taken at the new plant of tlie Bertermann Bros. Co., at Cumber- land, a few miles outside of Indianapo- lis. One of the pictures gives a view of the exterior. Another shows a house of carnations, and the third shows a bench of poinsettias, which were cut for Christ- mas, and also a bench of Spiraea Glad- stone, which also was sold at the holi- days. The Bertermann Bros. Co. finds Cum- berland an excellent place for the grow- ing end of the business. It is removed from the city, where land is cheap and soil both good and plentiful, but it is on the trolley line and connected with the city store by telephone so that it is but a matter of a few moments to get stock to the store if needed on short notice. The Bertermanns keep store in first-class style and to meet their demand the stock turned out at the greenhouses has to be a first-rate article. FORCING DUTCH HYACINTHS. Dutch hyacinths, grown single bulbs in 3-inch pots, are easy to handle, make exceptionally fine spikes and the labor bill is much reduced in comparison to the old method of growing in o-inch pots and boxes. And what is of even greater value, the cost of heating, as grown in England, is reduced by one-half. They are treated in the same way as when growing in water in glasses. Grown in this way for the London market, the bulbs are buried in the soil only alK)ut one-half an inch. They are placed in 80 to 85 degrees of heat and given an abundance of water. The house they occupy is matted down with three or four thicknesses, to the total exclu- sion of all light and, of course, serving to keep in practically all heat given off from the pipes. The bulbs are kept in these quarters until the spikes are de- veloped some several inches from the bulbs and the foliage is a couple of inches high, when they are brought into Spiraea and Poinsettias at Bertermann's Greenhouses. 548 The Weekly Florists' Review* January 10, 1907. the light, when a short time suflBces for them to open the spike and gain their color and green foliage. A heated shed would suit them just as well as a covered glass-house. The cost of treating them in this manner is slight, including labor, heating, house- room and all incidentals; hardly one farthing each, or £1 per thousand. The average cost of the bulbs to buy in from Holland is 70 shillings per thousand, making the total cost to place them on the market £4 10 shillings, and many thousands are disposed of at an average of £6 per thousand, which leaves a fair working profit. One nursery I recently visited was growing over 40,000 in this -.way and not one per cent was a failure. J.B. DAHLIAS. ^hat is the proper time to propagate •dahlias from cuttings? If they were ■propagated this winter would they make :good plants and bloom well the coming -summer? L. D. You can propagate dahlias the first part of March and on through April and they will make the best of plants, bloom early and have fine flowers. Many growers prefer the plants from cuttings to the tubers or roots. Old roots are placed on a bench, where there is a lit- tle bottom heat, on an inch or so of soil, and a little soil is scattered on and be- tween the roots. Soon eyes will break from the tops of the tubers. If these are cut off at a joint and inserted in 2-inch pots and the pots plunged in the propagating bed they will soon root. W. S. NEPHROLEPIS EXALT ATA SPORTS. Nephrolepis exaltata Piersoni was dis- tributed in the United States in 1903 as a splendid decomposite sport from the so-called Boston fern, and evoked great admiration as a decidedly fresh and promising brake. N. exaltata elegantis- sima followed, 1905, still more finely <;ut, and, finally, so far as present rec- ords are concerned, Messrs. Kochford (October 9, 1906) capped an apparent •climax with the N. exaltata todeaoides, already described. In this connection it is a curious fact that ten or twelve years ago, long before Piersoni appeared, Mr. Eoupell, of Koupell Park, sent the writer a number of bipinnate fronds of N. ex- altata, all unfortunately barren, which had appeared on a normal plant in bis locality. This plant, however, either re- verted or was lost sight of in some way, for, despite our urgent advice to sow and our prediction (since verified) that a capacity thus indicated might be the forerunner of very fine decomposite types, nothing more was heard of the particular plant. — Gardeners ' Chronicle. WHEN TO PLANT ASTERS. When should I plant asters for out- door flowers? L. D. The first planting of asters is usually done as soon as the ground is dry and friable and danger of severe frost is past. Ours is such a big country and has such wide degrees of latitude that no arbitrary date will answer. This query comes from Kansas, where winters are short and sharp and spring early. There is possibly as much difference in climate between Kansas and Minnesota as there is between Copenhagen and Madrid, or St. Petersburg and the Crimea, where the olive grows and fruits. From what we know of the climate of Kansas, should say anywhere after April 20 would be safe to plant asters. . W. S. Greenhouse Seating. EXPANSION TANK. In your valuable paper there often ap- pears in your queries on heating the fol- lowing question : How high shall I place my expansion tank above the highest point in the heating pipes, and to what part of the system shall I connect the same? The answer is almost always the same, i. e., place your tank ten or fif- teen feet above the highest point and connect with the main return near the boiler. Now, the writer has no desire to set at naught the advice given by your heat- ing engineer. But, having had experi- ence in hot water heating, under almost all conditions, for a number of years, he has never been able to see that it made any difference in the circulation, whether the expansion tank was ten inches or ten feet above the highest point. That is altogether a matter of convenience, and has no bearing upon the eflSciency of the heating plant; so long as it is above the highest point and large enough to take care of the over- flow, due to expansion in water through heating. As to where the connection should be made, I have learned that it makes no difference whether it is with the main flow or main return, or any part of the boiler or pipes, as far as the circulation goes, with moderate firing. Place your expansion tank above the highest point in the system, in the most convenient place, and connect with %- inch galvanized pipe to any part of the boiler or pipes. When it is left as a matter of choice, I always take the pipe to the expansion tank from the top side of the most convenient main flow pipe I can get at. Coils fed from this pipe will work more smoothly in hard firing than when the aircocks alone are depended upon to keep the pipes free from air and steam, incidental to heavy firing. In fact the coils above the tank connection will rarely need opening, as everything passes out through the expansion tank, no matter how hard you fire, the water being left free to circulate unobstructed by steam or air. And you take no chance of steam gathering at the high points and backing your water out through the expansion tank, shutting off the circula- tion, as it sometimes does when your tank connection is on the return pipes, or near the bottom of the boiler, should the boiler be a little large for the work it has to do, and heats up to the steam- ing point, perhaps, when the fireman is not about to open aircocks. Any one doubting this can quickly be convinced by giving it a trial. The only object the writer has in pub- lishing this is, that it may come to the notice of some one who is at sea on this question. There is nothing more per- plexing to the grower than a faulty heat- ing system — and the woods are full of them. R. G. Milpord. TROUBLE WITH HEATING. In reading S. C. Templin's heating record in the Review of December 20, I could not help but think of the differ- ence between his case and my own. I have a northeast and southwest house 40x100, with a combination of a short- span and a long-span roof; southwest gable glazed. Along the northeast end is a potting shed thirty-seven feet, leav- ing three feet exposed to the northwest. The west wall has 20-inch glass, with a few ventilators. The east wall has 30-inch glass, also a few ventilators; continual ventilation on top on east and New Greenhouse Plant of Bertermann Bros. Co., lodianapolis, at Cumberland^ Ind. jANUABr 10, 1907. The Weekly Florists'" Review^ 549 west sides. The height of the house is twelve feet. There are six 4-inch flows under the benches and ten 4-inch returns; five open expansion tanks on the farther end. The flows when leaving the main rise about ten inches, then run to the farther end with another rise of ten inches. There are two boilers, but the work is not sat- isfactory. When the mercury shows 10 degrees above zero outside, with a good breeze, the thermometer in the southwest end registers about 42 degrees, the northeast about 50 degrees. Last winter I could not get the pipes on the west side to get warm, while the east side were boiling, although they are level ; so I put a valve in the main and took an outlet from the flow above the boiler and keep the valve closed. It heats fairly well noAv, but there is quite a difference yet. I also put in a valve between the first boiler and the main flow and keep it half closed. I use only one outlet from the first for flow, but take one branch on tlie top of the boiler, so the nine pipes west of the valve, in the main flow, have the other boiler and one branch from the first to feed them. I had several men examine the system and they all disagreed as to the trouble. Are there enough pipes in the house? jrhe boiler pit is eight feet deep and 16x20, but the heat is unbearable in a cold snap. How can I get the farther end hot enough, when the returns are hot near the boilers? J. A. The piping in your houses is ample to maintain a temperature of 70 degrees. It is evident that the circulation is too tardy. It is possible that by installing a circulating pump you could greatly im- prove conditions. But I think that an- other plan may help, i. e., calk up the open expansion tanks and replace them by elevated expansion tanks connected to the system close to the boilers on the main returns. This will give you some pressure if the tanks are elevated ten or twelve feet and will tend to improve conditions. As I do not have the capacity of the boilers I can not advise in regard to the provision you have made for lipating. L. C. C. BOILER CAPAQTY. How many square feet of radiation will a thirty-five horse-power boiler heat, using steam. S. & B. If your boiler is a horizontal tubular boiler, brick set, and is rated at thirty- five horse-power, it should heat about 4,000 square feet of radiation. If it is a locomotive type it should not be loaded with more than 3,000 square feet of pipe or radiation. L. C. C. A CONTEMPLATED HOUSE. Kindly tell me how to heat a green- house, walled in with cement blocks, 29x 100 inside measurement, the rafters rest- ing on the walls and no glass in the sides. Would you use cypress or iron rafters? The whole thing, including benches, will be cement, iron and glass, provided you recommend iron rafters. What horse-power boiler should I use? W. A. L. If you use hot water vou should se- cure a boiler rated to carry about 1,500 square feet of radiation. The piping fan be arranged with 2-ineh black pipe, William E. Hielscher. using sixteen runs the length of the house, which can be arranged in three or four manifolds. If four manifolds of four pipes each are used one pipe in each coil should be a supply and three returns. If steam is used a 3-inch flow under the ridge, returning through six- teen 114-inch pipes, arranged under the benches, will be sufficient. A steam boiler with 150 square feet of heating surface exposed to the action of the fire wilh be large enough for this one house. With the construction you are using, if not too expensive, should use the U-bars now upon the market, otherwise I should use cypress. In a house with cement walls now under construction I am using cypress gutters and sashbars. L.C. C. MORE PIPE NEEDED. I have an east and west house, 21x101, sides six feet high, eleven feet to the ridge, all good and tight. I have two 2-inch overhead pipes, and four li/^-inch flows under eadi bench. My boiler, twelve or fourteen horse-power, is at the east end of the house and twenty feet south. Have I enough pipe to main- tain 60 or 70 degrees temperature in zero weather. F. W. P. I regret to state that from the data given it is impossible to say whether or not the house in question is sufficiently piped. It would appear that there are only eight 1^/4 -inch pipes used under the benches. There is no statement to in- dicate whether steam or hot water is used, although the wording of the letter and tlie size of pipes mentioned would indicate steam. If steam is us^cd then fourteen 1%- incli pipes would furnish sufficient radia- tion with five pounds pressure to main- tain 70 degrees during severe weather. If hot water is used two 2V-!-inch flow pipes should be used and eighteen 2-inch returns under the benches. L. C. V. WM. E. HIELSCHER. Detroit is the home of many enterpris- ing and energetic young men, among whom none is more thoroughly earnest than William E. Hielscher, who is en- gaged in building up a manufactory of wire work. He started in business a few years ago, with almost nothing at all, and now is the possessor of a profitable and steadily increasing business, built up by strict attention to details until it gives employment to a number of wire workers. Mr. Hielscher began his career in the employ of John Petzhoti, who was a pio- neer in Avire making in Detroit. About three years ago Mr. Hielscher started for himself. He is an active member of the Detroit Florists' Club and well liked by the trade. He has a modern equipment, including machinery for making loops and other small standard parts of Avire frames, and besides wire designs the firm also makes iron fences, railings, signs, etc., one example of the latter be- ing the attractive sign of the Bemb Floral Co., Detroit. Mr. Hielscher is at work on a new catalogue and it is his purpose to extend his business so that it 550 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Januabt 10, 1907. shall take in not only Detroit and near- by towns but the whole territory tribu- tary to Detroit. H. S. GLADIOLUS THE BRIDE. In your issue of December 20 W. S. asks some one to give information about forcing Gladiolus The Bride. The fol- lowing remarks will, I hope, furnish the clue to success: The conns of this gladiolus are small and it is customary to plant them some- what thickly, usually in flats, with three to four inches of soil, usually light, sandy loam. Treated in this manner the growths push up thickly and all goes well till March. Then we notice that the leaves begin to get yellow at the tips and whole growths turn yellow, and we further notice that every time we look at them the flats are dry. It seems al- most impossible to keep them wet. Things go from bad to worse; red spider finishes the job and a few measly, sickly spikes reward us for our trouble. This has been my experience and that of many others. Of course we blame the bulbs. I have planteu them in carnation benches, one bulb only between plants, and the result has been fine, strong spikes and plenty of them; but my respect for the carna- tion has increased to such a degree that I would never again be guilty of such sacrilege. I have noticed, in growing them out- side, that corms planted in heavy loam do better than those in light soil, and bulbs planted in the fall are much su- perior to those put in during March. Try them, W. S., in eight inches of soil, rose soil, in boxes. Plant them at least three inches apart, and don't forget a little liquid manure when the spikes are forming. Plant three inches deep. When flowering is over put under the benches until the foliage is dry. By removing the top two inches of soil and renewing with rich compost you can get a large crop the second season, but don't try it a third time. The corms increase so rapidly that starvation is sure to occur. If you want early flowers, plant in September. There is no need to put them outside like Dutch bulbs. As long as the temperature of your house does not exceed 55 degrees at night you will be all right. Don't attempt to grow them under the benches. Just as soon as the young growth appears they need the full light. I have often thought of writing a per- sonal letter of thanks to W. S. for his many useful suggestions and timely re- minders — reminders which save me a great deal of hard thinking, and I take this opportunity of expressing my sense of gratitude. I also feel delighted at being able to impart a few small items of information to one who is never back- ward in distributing to his brother flo- rists the results of his many years, of study. Edw.

Some good Killarney are seen and this rose maintains its popularity with the buy- ing public. Wellesley is also seen, of excellent quality on long stems. Carna- tions are not in heavy supply and as a consequence prices have kept up well. Violets are quite abundant, single aver- age rather more than double and bring about $1 per hundred. Callas are not plentiful at $1.50 a dozen. Lilium Harrisii sells at similar prices. Some good freesia sells at $3 and upwards. In bulbous stock Paper Whites and Roflians are abundant. Tu- lips are improving. La Reine being most- ly in evidence. Some double as well as single daffodils are coming in. Mignon- ette is good and so are anthericums; the latter, however, do not sell very well. A few white chrysanthemums still ar- rive, but they are getting small.

At a meeting of the board of direct- ors of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, January 5, announcement was made of a legacy of $3,000 from the late Charles E. French, the income to be devoted to prizes for meritorious va- rieties of fruits and vegetables; also one of $5,000, the income of which will be for premiums for flowers, A com- mittee of five was appointed to secure a list of special prizes for the November show. It was stated that several had already been secured. Charles E. Richardson, for over fif- teen years treasurer of the society, re- signed and his resignation was accepted. Walter Hunnewell was appointed treas- urer and William P. Rich secretary, librarian and general hall superintend- ent. The annual inaugural meeting of the society attracted a large number of members. General Stephen M. Weld, the newly elected president, in his address stated that the running expenses of the society continued to exceed the income and either expenses must be reduced or income increased, the latter the better remedy. The average expenses for the last four years was $22,042.32. The sums received from rentals of the hall in 1906 exceeded that of 1905 by $3,000 and this will probably be materially in- creased in succeeding years, as the hall becomes more and more in the center of the city. The treasurer's report showed an ex- cess of assets over all Liabilities of $788,- 280. The membership of the society is 852. The reports of the chairmen of the several committees were read and adopted. It was stated that there had been some demand to have the library open evenings and oft Sunday afternoons and a committee was appointed to con- sider and report on this matter at a suc- ceeding meeting. The lecture course opens January 12, with a talk from J. Woodward Manning on "The Iris and Its Culture." The remaining lectures are as follows: January 19, "Peach Growing Possibilities in New England," by A. A. Hlxon. .lannary 26, "The Collecting of Orchids." by John E. Lager, Summit, N. J. February 2. "The Renovation of an Old Or- chard," by Geo. T. Powell, New York. February 9. "The Home Vegetable Garden," by John W. Duncan. Jamaica Plains. February 16, "Certain Uses of the School Garden," by Miss Anna Withlngton, Boston. February 23, "Forestry from a Commercial Standpoint." by Prof. F. W. Rave, Boston. March 2, "Planting for Streets and Way- sides." by John A. Pettigrew. Boston. March 9, "Some Bacterial Diseases of Plants: Their Nature and Treatment," by Prof. H. H. Wetzel, Ithaca, N. Y. March 30, "Gardens of Italy," with stereop- ticon illustrations, by J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Boston. Various Notes. The meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club January 15, will be an especially attractive one. The newly elected officers will be installed and will each make addresses. J. K. M. L.

Farquhar will furnish one of his ex- cellent stereopticon lectures; on this occasion "Italian Gardens" will be chiefly spoken of. There will be music and refreshments and, as it is ladies' night, an attendance of 300 is expected. The enforcement of the new so-called blue laws is stirring up members of the trade in Boston. While it is adjudged permissible to make up funeral designs and other work of necessity on Sunday, stores must not be opened for a general transaction of business. Already sev- eral florists have been fined for at- tempting to do this. "While the present rigid enforcement may not be con- tinued, it will undoubtedly work hard- ship on many who counted Sunday one of their best days. There has been, however, too much Sunday selling and if store keepers would all confine their operations to six days and rest on the seventh they would be much better off in every way. A. H. Pewkes and Paul E. Riehwagen are among those who are just recover- iDR from attacks of the grip. Farquhar & Co. Avill distribute seeds 01 any novelties secured of E. H. Wil- son, who has just left on his third ex- pedition to western China, this time under the auspices of the Arnold Ar- boretum. Among others who are bringing in extra fine freesia are S. J. Goddard, Tailby & Son and Frank T. White. John J. Fee is bringing some fine tuJips and narcissi. William Patterson, of Wollaston, has good double Von Sions. .f^- N- Eaton is last in the market with mums and still brings in some nice blooms. Thomas F. Galvin will occupy the basement under the Music hall flower market as a storeroom. J. J. Butterworth states that the call for cattleyas and other orchids is so good that his flowers are practically all sold before they open. His Cattleya Trianae are now good. James Silman, of Waltham, will use automobiles in lieu of teams the com- ing spring and will dispose of all his teams. The landscape gardening classes of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club con- tinue to prove very popular, being largely attended each evening. E. W. Wood, of West Newton, whose decease occurred on the closing day of 1906, was a familiar figure at Horticul- tural hall and had been chairman of the fruit committee for many years. His two sons, Elijah A. Wood, of West Newton, and W. K. Wood, of Chicago, are each well known to the trade and the sympathy of many horticulturists goes out to them in their bereavement. W. N. Craig. THE DEATH ROLL. George Gunderman. George Gunderman, landscape garden- er, of Pittsburg, Pa., died January 1, aged 88 years. He is survived by one daughter, eleven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Frederick Vervaene. One of the oldest florists and land- scape gardeners in Bridgeport, Conn., died December 30, aged 70 years, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Thomas Owens. Frederick Vervaene was born in Ghent, Belgium. After serving an apprenticeship in the horticultural gar- dens there he came to this country and entered the employ of Nathaniel Wheeler, of Bridgeport. Later he entered busi- ness for himself, but experiencing finan- cial reverses in the '70s he sold out and went to Troy, N. Y., where he had charge of the grounds of the James Townsend Burden estate. Later he had charge of the estate of C. P. Huntington at Throg's Neck, N. Y. On the death of Mr. Hunt- ington Mr. Vervaene returned to Bridge- port and resumed his occupation. Be- ing a widower, he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Owens. It is said that many successful florists in Bridge- l>ort owe their success, in a measure, to Mr. Vervaene 's tuition. A cancer of the jaw was the cause of his death. He leaves three daughters and two sons, as follows: Mrs. John Hall, Mrs. Thomas Owens, Mrs. John Vickers, Samuel Ver- vaene and Joseph Vervaene, who is in the United States army. Mrs. Elizabeth Collin. Mrs. Elizabeth Collin, widow of Charles Collin, who was a gardener and florist, died December 31, after being unconscious several days from a stroke of paralysis. George Johnson. George Johnson, who was in the em- ploy of the Storrs & Harrison Co., at Painesville, O., died last week. The funeral was held from the residence, at the nursery, December 24, and was large- ly attended by the nursery employees and people of the city.

When the plants bloomed they did not come up to the promise of the pictures. Now, after two and a half years of litigation the buyer has secured his money back, with costs. There is a heavy demand for stock for fern dishes and prospect for a short- age before spring. Shippers will find it worth while to send a postal-card to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, for a copy of Circular No. 47, ' ' Strength of Packing Boxes of Various Woods." A. F. Faulkner, who wrote the Re- view's Washington, D. C, news letter in 1906, having removed from thai city, the Eeview would like to hear from some young man who has "a nose for news" to take up the work. The Review is in receipt of several letters endorsing the sentiments expressed in Mr. Skidelsky's paper on credits pub- lished last week, especially that part re- lating to the desirability of the trade honoring drafts and answering communi- cations regarding overdue accounts. THE READERS' CORNER. Using Tobacco Stems. I think it will interest the readers of the Review to know my way of fumi- gating with tobacco stems. I have small V-shaped iron troughs, with 4-ineh sides, and two feet long, I put fresh stems in the sun or over the boiler to dry and then chop them up quite fine with a The Kditor is pleased i^irlien a Reader presents Ills Ideas on any subject treated tVE^ As experience is the best teacher, so do we learn fastest by an ezchangre of experiences. Many valuable points are brought out by discussion. Good penmanship, spelling and gram- mar, though desirable, are not neces- sary. Write as you would talk when doing your t)e8t. WE SHALL. BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM TOU. spade, or a small feed cutter, which is better, as they do not have to be so dry. I then fill the troughs rounding full and set on fire, opening a small place at one end and pouring in a little kerosene oil to start them. The stems in the troughs will burn ten or twelve hours and kill every green- fly in the house, l can use it with roses, chrysanthemums and carnations in full bloom and not hurt or bleach a bloom in the least. You cannot see the smoke at all, but it is strong enough, with the long duration. I use three troughs to a house 18x100. It takes a little practice to get the stems just right, but when learned it is easily done and I think it is just as good and much cheaper than the differ- ent preparations for the same purpose. Wm. B. Lovell. The Real Violet Grower. Please be so kind as to spare room for these few words with reference to the "violet men up the state," as was printed in the Review of December 27. Of course there are quite a few of us up here, as well as there are wholesale and retail dealers in the city of New York, and to get horns crossed would make quite a mix-up. But it certainly is laughable when one reads in our good paper, the Review, how every violet grower is an aristocrat and even the be- ginners With their two or three 100-foot houses put by enough money in the winter to take a trip to Europe and build another house or two for the next season. Make a canvass around the majority of our beginners for five years back and see if they are enjoying their summers in Europe, or working at home instead. If we don't keep our eyes wide open we will not have profit enough to build ex- tra houses. We don't dispute the fact that we do build houses, but how many in our county have their places mort- gaged to the chimney-tops? And the only way we go to Europe is to take a run down the Hudson to the brickyards to buy bricks to rebuild, as houses don't last forever. There are two sides to this question of violet' culture. One is the wealth found in books and the other is wealth from hard, tedious work and constant watchfulness, and money coming in only half the year to cover the expense of the whole year. In July and August, when the sun is quite warm, you can come around and catch the violet growers working to beat Paddy 's pig, making the plants grow. So don't put the credit in the wrong place. Alex A. Laub. An Appreciative Grower. It won't hurt you to know that the Review is the most appreciated publica- tion that comes to ray place, and I think that one article alone, "The Craft and the Craftsman," is worth much more than the price of the paper for one year. Can you name a white carnation that is as good in size of flower and stiffness of stem as Enchantress? My Lieut. Peary and Wolcott have weak stems and small flowers, some shrivel up before they are quite open. Robert Craig is a per- fect red in size, stem and color, but not so prolific as Victory and Haines. Harry Fenn is the most perfect crimson in every way. The four different Lawsons don't do so well; there are too many burst ones. Mrs. Patten is much bet- ter than Variegated Lawson, and Glen- dale is perfect in that color. The cloudy, wet weather retarded the blooming of carnations the last three weeks and kept me from supplying the demand, even at double the usual price. A. Woerner.

Mention The Rerlew when you write. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. There was excellent business the latter half of last week and no word of com- plaint was heard, except from buyers who luought prices were unseasonably higli. Both city and shipping demand was good, although some of the retailers say they did not do so nuich business in the first week of January as they did a year ago. There was some superb stock in the market, of both roses and carna- tions; sui'prisingly good when one con- siders the weeks wichout sun. Eoses held their values better than did any other item. There are plenty of Beauty Jiiiu some remarkably fine Bride and -Maid, also Eichmond and Killarney. These held up to 20 and 25 cents per hundred last week. This week opened with two days of rain, which naturally had its effect on the trade. Supplies are large and con- sequently prices have weakened mate- nally, but it will require only a couple of days of seasonable weather, clear and cold, to tone up the market and put prices back where they were. The best roses have not lost much in value and even the shortest bring more money than at this time last year. Carnations are of superlative quality with many grow- ers and the fancy stock fetches good money. There is a large demand for luneral work, the health department re- porting a higher death rate than at any time in ten years, and it has provided an outlet for the white carnations, which mu^^^° slow sale since crops increased. The bottom has fallen out of the violet »"arket. at least temporarilv. For this week not very heavy receipts are ample to meet the needs of the trade and leave some to be jobbed off when stale. Har- risii and callas are more abundant. There are now considerable numbers of tulips, but with many growers the stems are so short that they are sending in bulb and all, and one grower on Monday shipped his stock, flats and all, in which way it sold well. There are increased supplies of sweet peas. Poinsettias still are seen and sell slowly. It is reported that bunched greens are becoming scarce, but there continue to be abundant supplies of fine strings of as- paragus and smilax. The turn in the weather came Wed- nesday, after tlie above market report was in type. It is cold and clear. The result doubtless will be to shorten stock for a couple of days, after which the plants will catch their winter stride and cuts will be both larger and of bet- ter quality. Good weather also will stimulate the demand. Indications of Progress. One of the things entailed by adver- tising and a large business is a large cor- respondence, and prompt answers to all business letters, and a large correspond- once necessitates the use of a typewriter. As an indication of the fact that most of the wholesale florists are doing a large business is the fact that a large proportion of the houses now send out their letters typewritten. George Eein- berg is the latest to install a machine and operator. Some of the houses which have no machines have arrangements with a public stenographer to come in every afternoon, take the dictation and tran- scribe the letters in the stenographer's own oflSce, delivering them ready for signature beiore evening. It is a very convenient way. Why Crops Vere Late, Why Christmas rose crops were not as great as growers, and buyers, would have liked is shown by the records of the weather bureau. In December there were only three clear days, eight on which the sun shone a little while, and twenty cloudy days. At the same time it rained on eleven days, a total precipi- tation of 2.46 inches, or more than in any December in eleven years. Taking the whole year, 1906, there were only 102 clear days, 128 partly cloudy and 135 on which there was no sun. Club Doinsfs. The Chicago Florists' Club gives every promise of renewed activity under the leadership of 11. N. Bruns. At the meet- ing tonight he will announce his com- mittees. The Toronto convention of the American Carnation Society, January 22 to 24, will be up for discussion. Mr. Bruns has informally announced that P. J. Hauswirth will be chairman of the club's transportation committee, so that an early report on Toronto may be forth- coming. Plans will be discussed for a club carnation show in February. Various Notes. Otto Benthey, the grower for the Benthey-Coatsworth Co., at New Castle, who has had such excellent results with Killarney, says that he gives Killarney no special treatment and that anyone can grow it who grows good Brides and t •,-"'•• ••m"".''v, ii '.II it i^vf.tumw Kij ^i|,ij|j|m II ;! «i !i', "(ijijii i«.nininiii7Wii 554 TTic Weekly Florists^ Review* Januabi 10, 1907.

Washburn has returned from a week's rest at West Baden, Ind. His son, E. L. Washburn, has resumed his studies at Madison. Louis Gresenz, of Bassett & Wash- burn, has been ill this week. Wm. Fluegge, the Morton Grove car- nation grower, was in town Monday and said that he had just visited E. H. Bla- meuser, at Niles Center, and that the latter 's house of Bose-pink Enchantress is a sight to delight any grower's eye. It is the sport which originated with Mr. Blameuser, not the Detroit one sev- eral are growing. Poehlmann Bros. Co. will have chrys- anthemums for another week, probably a later date than chrysanthemums ever before have been offered in this market. Be it recorded that Frank Williams paid 20 cents each for Maids January 5. Twelve were enough. Tim Waters has left the Central Floral Co. to become general utility man for Vaughan & Sperry, who have in him a man capable of turning his hand to any 'iotail of the flower business. Mr. Waters had years of experience in the wholesale business at Boston and is up to date in the retail business. He will spend a portion of his time on the road. C. W. McKellar has been showing a nice lot of Calanthe Veitchii and says the leading stores are using it with splendid effect in dinner-table decora- tions. Joe Beaver is no longer with Lubliner & Trinz. Matt Evert is preparing to go quite largely into rooted cuttings for spring, carnations and especially chrysanthe- mums. W. N. Rudd is growing practically none of the standard varieties of carna- tions and his stock as seen at Winter- Bon's is superb. He has a light pink seedling that will likely be put on the market and also a white that will be lieard from in due course. It appears that Chicago's delegation to the Carnation Society 's convention will be of pretty good size. Among those who will go will be August Poehlmann, P. J. Hauswirth, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Kill, L. Coatsworth, W. N. Rudd, rep- resentatives of the Joliet companies, and others. The Flower Growers' Co. held its an- nual meeting January 3. Officers were reelected as follows: President, Emil Buettner; vice-president, Walter Ten- ner; treasurer, F. R. Hills; secretary, Alex. Henderson ; manager, Percy Jones. The utmost satisfaction was expressed with the business of last year. E. C. Amling's place is being repaint- ed throughout. Mr. Amling says the business of 1906 not only was his best record but ahead of his most sanguine expectations. He sees no reason why 1907 should not show continued prog- ress, but says he will have no word of fault to find if it is only as good as 1906. One of the week's visitors was Wil- frid Wheeler, of Concord, Mass. Bert Budlong says it is noteworthy the general high quality of roses in view of the almost total absence of sun for two months. He says the J. A. Budlong crop missed Christmas by about two weeks and is now heavy. The quality is fine. Phil Schupp, manager of the store, reports prices last week averaging about a cent above those of the same week last year, and that, with the heavy crop, speaks well for the general state of trade. C. M. Dickinson, at E. H. Hunt's, where they handle large quantities of insecticides, especially To-bak-ine prod- ucts, says it is noticeable that practically all growers are now using the liquid form of nicotine to the practical exclu- sion of all other fumigants. The new pink rose, Jo'e Hill, as seen at the establishment of Wietor Bros., is a fine thing. They will plant it in much larger quantity next season. The George Wittbold Co. reports a splendid sale on small ferns for fern dishes. They had an enormous stock at the opening of the season, but are now well cleaned out, long before the demand will cease. The A. L. Randall Co. reports the December business most satisfactory and January starting off ahead of last year. This is for cut flowers. The supply de- partment is not yet old enough to afford any comparisons, the stock being only now complete. Darby, a well-known character in the market, is in the county hospital as a result of a street car accident. He was badly hurt. A big rose garden is to be planted at Humboldt Park. Thomas McAllister is now with the Fleischman Floral Co., at the North State street store. H. N.

The holiday trade was the best ever known in this locality. Prices were bet- ter on cut flowers, but the supply was in- adequate. Carnations, as usual, were in greatest demand, one florist reporting that he could have sold 2,000 more at re- tail. Enchantress, Robert Craig, and Victory brought best prices. Various Notes. J. W.

Trade has been fairly active during the last week and since the Christmas holidays it may be classed as good. New Year's trade was surprising to some of the florists, who say they were kept busy New Year's eve preparing orders for early morning delivery. This week will be a busy one in so- ciety, with weddings, dinners, and two large balls. One is the Imperial, the society event of the season, of which Youngs have the decorations; the other event should keep the west end trade busy supplying extra fancy stock, which this trade demands. The downtown flo- rists also have a good word for business since the holidays. In looking over the stock at the differ- ent wholesale houses you find roses quite plentiful, with the bulk of them of poor quality. Extra fancy Beauties are some- what scarce. The medium grades are mostly deformed blooms. Prices on all grades are down. Carnations are keeping up well in quality and supply. Some fine En- chantress come in. Lawson does not seem so good this seas(jn. "Whites are always in demand. Prices are not so high as last week. Violets hung around the $1 mark until Saturday, when the market became flooded with Californias and the price dropped to 50 cents per hundred. A drop from this price is looked for this week.

He is a regular visitor at the Park View nursery, where he found William Bouche is head land- scape artist. Carew Sanders, one of our oldest flo- rists, has recovered from his recent sick- ness, which is good news among the trade. Mr. Sanders is a cousin to the much beloved Edgar Sanders of Chicago. Henry Ostertag, of Ostertag Bros., has been kept busy since January 1 with decorations for fashionable events. Report has it, that William Adles, formerly with Mrs. M. M. Ayers on Grand avenue, is now located in Chicago. Himmer Bros., of Meramec Highlands, are in the market with thousands of ex- tra fine California violets. Heller Bros., of New Castle, Ind., are regular shippers to this market, at Angermueller 's, which helped the trade out greatly during the holidays. L. Baumann, of Chicago, is in town this week. James North & Co., who ran an office at Thirteenth and Pine, selling designs to the shipping trade, will this week open a retail store at .Van der Venter and Frimey avenues. W. C. Smith & Co. received a large shipment of wild smilax last week, which will come in handy for some of those large decorations for this week. F. W.

Kuehn 's, Weber & Sons ' and Ammann's roses are in demand. The carnations from H. Baer's, Peoria, and Peterson's, Gibson City, 111., are of fine quality. All of our wholesalers say a great glut of violets will be on this week, if the fine weather keeps up. W. C. Young, who was the St. Louis Florists' Club's choice for stat» vice- president at Dayton, reports that he is preparing plans, this early, for an en- joyable trip to Philadelphia for the club members. He is also on the right side of the railroads for a low rate. ______^ J.J.B. MILWAUKEE. The Market.

The first week of January, 19U7. has been marked by extraordinary climatic conditions, the weather sometimes damp and cloudy, at other times clear and sunny, resembling spring far more than midwinter. These conditions, inunedi- ately succeeding the activity of the holi- days, has caused a depression in the cut flower market. There has not been the snap to business that might reasonably be expected with the amount of enter- taining now in progress incident to the short season. Some of the stock coming in town has suffered seriously, owing, probably, to the extra heat to which the plants have been subjected before the unlooked-for warm spell. Violets have felt the unfavorable conditions more, perhaps, than any other flowers. Beau- ties have shortened considerably. There B evidence that a sharp coM spell would decimate the cut now coming into the city. Tea roses have suflFere*iich readers, it will be pertinent to give :i few of the many expressions of praise heard from the recognized leaders of our profession. When Mr. Craig showed some fronds to H. H. Battles, Mr. Bat- tles at once said : " It 's an exquisite thing. It will be used with Farleyense. ' ' When John Scott, of Brooklyn, saw the plants growing, he said: "It is the best one yet." When James T. Clark, the fern expert, of Henry A, Dreer Co., had examined the house full of plants, lie said : ♦ ' It is far superior to the other one," Which comparison is understood to be with another coming debutante. So you see, here are some o{)inions really worth having. The First Assembly. There were two features of the first Assembly ball held in the Bellevue-Strat- ford ballroom on Friday evening, Jan- uary 4, that are worthy of comment. The first was the really magnificent decora- tion, arranged by J. J. Habermehl's Sons, in which pyramid azaleas were the flowering plant feature of the stage decoration; crimson on one side, white on the other. An expert who has trav- eled miles to see decorations of note, says of this one, that it was the finest he ever saw. Another feature was the return to the old-fashioned bouquet of our grandmothers, as planned by H. H. Battles and carried out with the assist- ance of M. Rice, who procured delicate lace bouquet-holders of white and soft shades of pink and blue which were used for finishing what are now considered small and closely packed bunches of tiny buds, or other flowers selected, where possible, to match the gowns of the fair ones carrying them. While these bouquets were not as numerous at this assembly as were the large bouquets some years ago, their advent marked an increase in the popularity of bouquets. Various Notes. The statement contained in this col- umn last week that the Florex Gardens will plant over 30,000 Beauties in one house next season created quite a sensa- tion among the Beauty growers who supply this market. It could not be learned that any one of them had be- come discouraged enough to grow auy- tiiing else. But they were much sur- jiriscd and interested, as few if any of them have more American Beauty plants in their entire establishments. The Peninsula Horticultural Society iield a banner meeting at Dover, Del., January 2. The special features ar- ranged were ' ' Home Surrounding and Town Improvement," by J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the Henry A. Dreer Co., and ' ' Plants for Home Adornment and Their Care, ' ' by Edwin Lonsdale, superintend- ent of the horticultural dej)artment in (Jirard College.

NEIT YORK. The Market. If last week 's weather is a sample of what we can produce you can put New York on the list of popular winter re- sorts and the big city can so far vie with any section of the sunny south for mild temperature. On Monday of this week the average was 50 degrees and at times the temperature rose to 60 de- grees. After many days of rain the sunshine and the balmy air made it like a summer day. But the result of the damp, cloudy, miserable weather of late has been to produce the inevitable lack of color and a shortage of the first quality. As a result, notwithstanding a natural drop in business since the holi- days, prices for the best stock have been fairly well maintained. By next week the shipments of everything are ex- pected to materially increase. Up to date, January has not been as satisfac- tory as last year, but the general pros- perity among the retailers continues. / « imm'fwww'r^^ JANUAET 10, 1907.

"With all the great balls and other accompaniments of the festive New York season, a splendid trade may be safely depended on until Lent, or until society begins its hegira to Florida and other popular southern centers. Beauties have held well, some fine stock touching $75 per hundred the first of the week, although $60 was top almost universally. Prices have retrograded also on Bride, Maid and Killarney. Richmond maintains its popularity and the long- stemmed stock often has touched $50 per hundred and even now sells readily at $25. There is no surplus of red roses. Carnations are overabundant at last and prices are down, even for the se- lects and novelties. The quality remains superb. More orchids are coming in and •ill the popular varieties are in good de- mand. A great many are shipped out of the city every day. Prices have de- creased a little. The same may be said pf gardenias; where they all come from is a mystery. Harbingers of spring are sweet peas, while lilac and forsythia, making the re- tail windows increasingly attractive, are potent reminders of the fact that Easter is only eleven weeks away. Already the plantsmen are anticipating the needs of the retailers and booking their orders. Anton Schultheis, of College Point, was in the city Monday, taking time by the forelock, and showed me assorted lists of $500 worth and over for single firms, the proviso being only "save me at least that amount of the best you have and select and mark it for me now." That is the provision the bon ton houses make even this early, knowing how sure will be the call this year for the usual plant Easter, expected to be far in ad- vance of the record breaker of 1906. The violets are arriving in battalions now and there are enough and to spare. Prices for even the specials did not go above $1 on Monday and most of the stock sold at 75 cents and so on down to 40 cents. It is a question if they go above $1 again at any time before Easter. . Tuesday found business dull. The Fallon Case. George O. Fallon is said by the police to have shot and killed Mrs. Lena Wiede- mann Monday night in her home in West Eighty-second street and then shot and slashed with a razor Miss Paulina Batel, a boarder with the Wiedemann family, after which he attempted his own life, but will recover, at the Roosevelt hos- pital. Miss Ratel, who was taken to the same hospital, also was pronounced out of danger. Fallon is under police guard. Frederick Bergman, a caller on Miss Ratel, who was beaten on the head with the butt end of a revolver by Fallon, is held in the House of Detention as a wit- ness pending an inquiry by Coroner Dooley. Various Notes. These are the days of horticultural societies ' annual dinners, smokers and receptions. This week the Madison smoker of the Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society takes place on Wednesday evening. The same night the Tarrytown Horticultural Society cel- ebrates, an unfortunate coincidence, for no one who has ever attended either wishes to miss one of them. This is a case of being at one place in spirit of necessity, while the temperance dinner of the other is amalgamated. A goodly 562 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Jam All V 10, 1007.

The weather was suitable for the delivery of plants. Blooming plants were abun- dant. There were some fine azaleas, Gloire de Lorraine begonias, poinsettias in pans, and stevia. Some florists say the call was not so great for potted plants as in former years, but an in- crease in the cut flower line. All the retail stores were beautifully decorated with Ciiristmas bells and holly. We are having too much cloudy weather and it is telling on roses, the color being paler. Trade since the holidays has been quiet, the only demand being for funeral work iind a few parties. Various Notes. •I. Y.

Y., is having big success in growing cattleyas and vandas in osmunda roots on bark and intends adopting this method with other varieties. Vanda tricolor, suavis and cnerulea are fine specimens. Blooms bring good prices and are in constant demand. Frank Baker, of Utica, is preparing his usual supply of small ferns, which fill up the empty spaces after Easter stock is gone. > Spencer & Martin have given up their houses, in Utica, and confine their busi- ness to the store, which keeps them hustling. Brant Bros, and Peter Crowe have kept the market in Utica supplied with ex- cellent cuts of roses. Adiantum Crowe- anum was never better than now. Dr. Rowlands, of Utica, cannot sup- ply the demand for carnations, which are his specialty. J. G. Hatcher, of Amsterdam, N. Y., reports big sales of flowering plants, which made up in a measure for the shortage in cut flowers during the holi- days. He is now wrestling with the problem of good help, the higher wages being paid by the big corporations mak- ing it difficult to get even ordinary labor, excepting at an advanced rate. He is working up quite a seed business. A. J. Hilton, of Amsterdam, has no kick coming and believes that returns will figure up ahead of last year. J. O. Graham, at Little Falls, antici- pated the demand with an extra supply of pot plants, which are selling better than ever. Fred Goldring, of Slingerlands, had a job to keep the Albany stores supplied during the holidays and he says he must double his capacity if the demand con- tinues. Sambrook Bros., at Troy, worked day and night during the holidays. Funeral work interfered with holiday business somewhat. The forthcoming Knights Templar's convention, at Saratoga, will find a busy man in T. J. Totten, who is figuring on the big contract for decorating. He in- tends giving considerable space to the new rose, Jules Grolez. He is having a big demand for summer blooming roses under glass. L. E. Marquisee, of Syracuse, speaks highly of his new white carnation. Mar- chioness, which is even freer than En- chantress. The flower is perfect in shape, even if partly open. -It will be seen at Toronto, if Old Sol will favor this section with a few of his rays. Judging from reports it will be hard to put up a representative shipment from many of the growers. A fine Enchant- ress is here. It seems distinct from Skidelsky's excellent variety. W. M. Jackson, Miss. — The Jackson Floral Co. Has been incorporated with W. B. Taylrr president of the corporation and W, J. Brown, founder of the business, as manager.

Current CotnsnenU This city has suffered from the worst combination of weather, since the first of the year, it is possible to conceive. With the exception of two cold days, we are liaving spring temperature, with rain. We had two days' partial sunshine dur- ing December and part of one day the last week, the result being a shortage of good flowers of all kinds, especially roses. Carnations are getting soft and are the cause of complaint when shipped any distance, people thinking they are get- ting old stock. Business, however, has been good, cleaning up everything that comes in; but this has been true for the last month and the wholesalers have had noth- ing to complain of. While they have not been receiving great quantities of stock they have been getting large prices and the returns to the growers have, in a way, made up for the shortage in cut. The retail men, especially the deco- rators, have been having large innings. Some of the handsomest decorations this city has ever seen were in order last week. Mrs. E. A.

There has been a good deal of funeral work, but the high prices have kept down the small trade. However, taken alto- gether, the new year is starting out sat- isfactorily. The sending of ball bunches, which was so popular a few years ago, has again become the correct thing and a peep into an artistically decorated ball- room, with seventy-five or 100 elegantly dressed women, each with a large bunch of beautiful flowers, would make the heart of a stone man beat a little above normal. Hoo-Hoo. BALTIMORE. The Market The last year has been a prosperous one; no assignments were made and there was much rebuilding. The new year has begun well. Trade last week was satisfactory. New Year's came in with many entertainments and quite a number of decorations were called for, while cut flowers were used in various ways, mostly in bunches arranged for tables. Carnations still are in short supply but roses are coming in more steadily. Callas are scarce and Paper "White nar- cissi in many cases take their place. Mignonette is getting plentiful and greens of all kinds are steady. Some poinsettias still are to be had. Various Notes. M. M. Ellis, gardener for Gen.

Mention The Review when you write. The rows should be, at least, three feet apart, but, of course, your walks would count' for space. If your benches are three and one-half feet wide they will Hccommodate two rows nicely, the plants being set near the edges of your bench. Hut if only two feet wide, only one row ( ould be given justice. It is not so much the amount of root space required, as cucumbers grow in a comparatively small amount of soil, con- sidering the size of the plants, as it is the air space and amount of light that tne plants require. The height the plants may be allowed to attain will depend on the headroom available, but, allowing them a height of five feet, it will be seen that one row would shade the other, unless sufficient space were allowed. The date of planting will depend on your command of heat and the amount of coal you calculate to burn. In winter, the higher price of the product may be counted on to pay for the extra expense and trouble, when as the season ad- vances and the weather becomes warm, less expense and less trouble being re- quired to produce the crop, the price naturally falls. So, as far as the paying end of it goes, it does not make much difference at which season you grow the crop. For a beginner, however, the best time to plant would be after the middle of February, as they are easier handled (luring the warmer spring months than through the dull weather in winter. It takes four to five weeks, to have the plants large enough for setting out, from the time the seeds are planted. A cucumber plant will produce from two to three dozen cucumbers, according to the care given and success of the crop. The rotation of crops you suggest should work out all right. If good plants of lettuce are set out, after the chrys- A BED or MUSHROOMS Raised from our Spawn, will bear loneer and yield better than from any other variety of Spawn. This is proven by lacis.

Croydon. A MICHIGAN LETTUCE FACTORY. There was a time when vegetable grow- ers thought any old-fashioned house was good enough for lettuce, but in these modern days it has been found that let- tuce is deserving of as good a house as any other crop. One of the up-to-date establishments with which the state of Michigan is dotted is that of Chamber- lain & Bunker, at Fremont. They have in the last two or three years erected a large establishment, partly devoted to carnations and spring bedding plants, but principally devoted to the forcing of lettuce, radishes, cucumbers, parsley and tomatoes. They put their lettuce up in fifteen-pound baskets and find a wide Lambert's Pore Cnltiire Mushroom Spavin Produced by new grraftlng process from selecteo and prolific specimens, thor- oughly acclimatized.

They would do for American Beauties as well as for lettuce. One of these houses is shown in the accompany- ing illustration. Of course, the lettuce being on the ground level instead of on raised benches adds something to the ap- pearance of the height in the house. But Chamberlain & Bunker say that they find the larger body of air confined in these high houses aids materially in maintain- ing an even temperature. A sudden change does not penetrate to the plants so quickly as it does in small houses. Once the house is raised to the proper temperature it is carried there with little expense of attention or fuel. Chamberlain & Bunker were among the first growers to make a test of mechan- ical watering and the picture shows the Wittbold sprinkling apparatus in opera- tion along one side of this house. It is difficult to get a photograph which shows the sprinklers working, for the spray is so misty that the camera fails to catch it and it appears only as a fog on the negative. In this case, however, the light was .just right to show the waterfall. Chamberlain & Bunker have equipped their entire establishment with this me- chanical sprinkler. They say they are more than pleased with it and like it bet- ter the more they use it. ' ' It does the work in every way far more satisfactor- ily than we aared hope when we first put it' in. " The Rural New Yorker recently con- tained a two-column writeup of mechan- ical watering in which its many advan- tages were pointed out, and the state- ment was made that its adoption by the vegetable growers is becoming general and that mechanical watering promises to revolutionize the trucking industry in the south. Indeed, A. H. Ahten, a well- known New Orleans grower, says it saves him $3 or $4 a day in cost of labor, besides doing the work better than by the old-fashioned means. 570 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Chicago. — The greenhouse vegetable grower is complaining much about the dark weather. It is a serious drawback to hia business, as fruits do not form well on cucumber vines without a little sunshine occasionally. The soft weather which the present year has given to date is said to be hav- ing a bad effect on the sweet corn seed that the growers are trying to get into shape for shipping. Dry, hard weather would be more satisfactory. Visited Chicago. — H. W. Buckbee, Rockford, Dl. ; Wm. Hagemann, New York; J. C.

We have had quite a number of disappointing crops of vine seeds this fall, but mostly in the line of some varieties of muskmelon and watermelon, which did not become fully matured on account of the unfavor- able season." "The fact that success in the seed business depends directly on the confi- dence reposed in a firm by its patrons, ' ' say W. W. Bawson & Co., in their mar- ket gardeners' list, "was never more surely proven than after our disastrous fire, in which our stock of seed was nearly totally destroyed. The way in which the thousands of our customers stood by us in the midst of our mis- fortune will ever be a bright spot in the history of our firm.

CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA. Lester C. Morse, of C. C. Morse & Co., writes under date San Francisco, Decem- ber 31, as follows: "Conditions in California so far are normal. There has been an abundance of rain for the month of December, and while onion bulbs have not all been planted, they are keeping well and will probably soon be in the ground. "The last season was extremely dis- couraging, and the returns in the seed business were not commensurate with the risk nor the capital invested. Prac- tically every branch of industry in Cali- fornia has been paying better than the seed business. "We think this will mean that the seed growers will be forced to demand better prices another season. ' ' CONTRACT PRICES.

An increase of 2 cents to 4 cents a pound for lettuce, for ex- ample, is not considered especially mod- est, but some growers are giving certain varieties a boost of 7 cents or 8 cents and on one or two sorts considerably more. It looks too strong to many. Again, in the case of onion, if the South- port Globes on contract, f. o. b. in the Santa Clara valley are going to cost in 1907 pretty nearly what they were priced at in the 1905 retail catalogues, there are a good many other places where onion seed is likely to be grown in a small way in competition; good onion seed can be grown in the central states, although smut has been a big factor when it has been tried. There is said to be a pronounced shortage of onion bulbs on the coast, but there are enough in the east so that a good many patches will likely be planted in favorable local- ities for seed in 1907. With radish the advance is not quite so precipitate and ■^w 574 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ January 10, 1907. FLOWER SEEDS ASTER Queen of the Market The best variety for early blooming. Trade pkt.

On sweet peas, also, the in- crease is not {fttracting the attention it is on onions; on these the prices may be warranted by conditions on the coast, but to the retailer it looks as if the proposed rates are more than the traffic will bear. THE LAW IN MAINE. "The state of Maine laws regulating the sale of food, feeding stuffs, agri- cultural seeds, and commercial fertiliz- ers, are plain, explicit and reasonable," says Chas. D. Woods, director of the State Experiment Station. "There is an evident desire on the part of most dealers to conform to the laws so far as they understand them. Up to the present time, the endeavors of the ex- ecutive officer of the law have been largely educational. While educational methods will still be used, it may be- come necessary to use other measures in case there are any who seem unwilling to learn. "Agricultural seeds must be true to name and carry a guarantee of the per- centage of purity. Considerable poor and unguaranteed grass seed was sold in 1906. Such sales must cease. "The penalty fof the violation of the provisions of any of the laws is a fine not exceeding $100 for the first offense and not exceeding $200 for each subse- quent offense." ABOUT SEED PRICES. The maker of the catalogue of the Forrest Seed Co., Cortland, N. Y., must be a reader of the Seed Trade Depart- ment of our esteemed contemporary, the Congressional Record, of Washington, D. C. But he should not believe all that the congressional free-seeders say. This is from the catalogue of the Forrest Seed Co.: "We have not waited to see what price the combination or other seedsmen f ^ Carlson^s Improved Aster Seed Has been the best commercial variety in the Chicago Market for the past three years.

We can afford to sell our seeds at the prices given in this catalogue, and as long as they last you shall have them, and when they are gone, they will be gone until another crop. We will posi- tively not buy and fill orders with other people's seeds we know nothing about. Do you believe in combinations and trusts? If you do, don't buy Forrest's seeds. He makes his own prices. He does not meet with the other seedsmen and agree on a price." But on another page we learn that it is not the seed trust but the high rents that govern prices : " So is the day pass- ing when you will stop sending to the large cities, to the men who sit in the ninth story of a ten-story building, writing up and painting pictures of plants and vegetables for their cata- logues. We do not give you any colored plates; they cost too much — but we give you value in seed, good, straight, honest seeds, at honest prices. Do you ever think of the enormous expense that the city seedsmen are under? Look at the difference in rents, and other enormous expenses they have compared with ours. ' ' But it is interesting to note that the Forrest Seed Co. asks $2.75 for South- port White Globe onion, and $2.50 for January 10, 1907.

Roman hyacinths have been strongly in evidence in the Covent Garden market, London, for some weeks and a good business has been done, considering the heavy (luantities on the market. This is, in a great measure, due to the action of the bulb growers' combine in the French hyacinth districts, forcing up the price of bulbs for the last four years or so, making them quite prohibitive to the ordinary grower. It might have been plain to the French growers, at the outset, that such a holding up of prices and consequent holding of stock could not last and would do them no good, but simply load them with unsold stock. The result is as might be expected. Prices last year for best bulbs were in some cases low, one grower securing a first- sized lot of 70,000 as low as 28 shillings per thousand, against as much as 84 shillings in previous years. In one way, good has been done, as during the time of these high prices for bulbs few, if any, blooms of Eomans were ever seen on our markets, giving the public an entire change from this particular flower, of which they had had, for a long time, an over-supply. This year, the bulbs being comparatively cheap last fall, growers have utilized them in large lots and they have come into the markets, meeting a fresh and healthy demand, which has rapidly cleared the supplies at profitable prices. J.B. Lancaster, Pa.— B. K. Denlinger has retired from the business and has been succeeded by Harry W. Denlinger. GoRHAM, Me. — Nathaniel Hannaford says there has been more of a demand for flowers than could be supplied. Prices are high, especially on carnations. Plants are making good growth, but do not flower. Dayton, 0. — Warren 0. Matthews, of the Dayton Floral Co., reports Christ- mas trade this season the best ever. There was a great call for choice potted plants. Holly was in demand, but of poor quality. Montgomery, Ala. — The Riverside Co. has been incorporated by William B. Marks, H. C. Borden and Paul T. Sayre to conduct a dairy, engage in mar- ket gardening, fruit-raising, etc. Capi- tal stock is $25,000. Short Hills, N. J.— The firm of An- derson & Christensen has dissolved part- nership, J, F.

PORTLAND, ORE. The Holiday Trade. Our predictions of a big holiday trade were fully realized. We have visited all the retail stores and found the verdict unanimous that Christmas trade beat all previous records by at least twenty per cent. Preparations for this great event seem to begin earlier every year, and, judging from the long hours of hard work for two weeks preceding, we doubt if the great volume of business just han- dled can be exceeded in coming years. Even the weather, wet and disagreeable in the extreme, did not dampen the ardor of the public. Flowering plants and bas- ket arrangements were the best and most numerous ever seen here and were our salvation. Those ranking first were a splendid lot of azaleas, poinsettias, Lor- raine begonias and pans of daffodils which commanded a most profitable fig- ure. Tlie poinsettia is preeminently taking here, owing to its brilliant color. After the stampede there were barely enough plants left, in all the stores to form a suggestive trade-mark. The cut flower department made a complete surrender and our only regret is that we did not have a few thousand more carnations. Koses were superior to those of last year, notwithstanding four weeks of unfavorable weather. A few hundred late chrysanthemums sold from 50 cents to $1 each. Violets and cut poinsettias were scarce, as none were shipped in from California. So great was the demand for everything that half the forces were obliged to work all Mon- day night putting up orders and arrang- ing tiie stock for the grand finale. Very little profit was made by the re- tailers on holly and mistletoe, owing to the scarcity and poor quality of the former and a monopoly of the latter by the street venders. Another heavy demand for cut flowers was made on New i ear's and there were none left unsold. Between the Christmas and New Year festivities there was a good call for funeral work, allowing us little time to recruit our lost vitality. It was the crowning effort of our lives and we are still feeling the effects of it. H. J. M. SAN FRANOSOO.

Although this is the first season we have had since the fire and there are not over one-quarter as many stores in town as there were a year ago, the flo- rists were well satisfied with the results. Both days showed a good demand for all classes of stock and, except in rare instances, there was ample to supply all demands. The heaviest business was done on the days prior to Christmas and stock was well cleaned up; so that there was really a shortage between then and New Year 's. Prices were good throughout and any one having anything to sell had no dif- ficulty in disposing of it. There was some shortage of poinsettias, both cut and grown in pots.

With carnations and roses the supply was just about equal to the demand. Valley was in fair quantity and had a rapid sale. Boman hyacinths were not as plentiful as formerly and but little show was made of azaleas, cameUas or other flowering plants. Both maidenhair and smilax are scarce at present. Many of our largest grow- ers have made but little effort since the fire to keep up stocks of either of these commodities and, as a consequence, there has been a shortage with no immediate signs of easing for some time to come.

The California Nursery Co., of Niles, Cal., has opened a sales yard in Los Angeles for the season. Schwerin Bros, have had splendid suc- cess with their crop of valley, having probably the largest cut in the city for Christmas. Charles Stappenbach reports a heavy holiday trade. He had much difficulty in filling orders for long-stemmed Beauty for Christmas. From present indications there will be but little in the line of violets to sell this season, except the Princess violet. The demand for the double varieties is not noticeable this year. Bed bells, owing to the fact that they were sold by all the department stores, did not move as fast as they did last season. G. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Rising & Dunscomb Co., which succeeded the Ocean Park Floral Co., founded by E, J. Vawter, plans to be able to meet any of the widely varying calls made upon a horticultural concern in this locality. The company has also succeeded to the names, good-will and business of the Hollywood Rose Co. and the West Park Nursery. At Ocean Park the concern has eighteen acres solidly planted with carnations for blooming in the field. This is one of the sights of southern California, the subject of mag- azine articles, and annually visited by thousands of tourists. So great has the demand become that an additional ten acres is now being planted. There also CARNATION CUTTINGS Immediate Shipment. SELECTED CUTTINGS, WELL-ROOTED.

Rhus cotinoides is a very handsome species. «ith oval leaves of good size, which color highly if planted in a soil not over rich. It differs considerably from the common R. Cotinus in having larger foliage and a free, upright habit, which is very striking on a plant of good size. As a flowering shrub the North American ilogwood, Cornus florida, is difficult to surpass, its beauty being greatly enhanced by the attendant large, white bracts, and there are few shrubs to compare with it when the leaves as- sume their beautiful ?oft tints in au- tumn. The annual meeting of the Oklahoma Nurserymen 's Association was held in the Chamber of Commerce building, in Oklahoma City, Tuesday, January 8. No attempt was made to publish a program, but each member brought up the topics he wished to' have discussed. The ob- jects of the organization are threefold — educational, fraternal, protective. The Ohio Horticultural Society will hold its fortieth annual meeting Jan- uary Hi to 18, at the state capitol at Columbus. A number of nurserymen are on the program and many others will be present. A joint session will be held January 19 with the American Breeders' Association. Among those well known in the trade who will ad- dress this meeting are H. H. Groff, of Simcoe, Ont., and E. H. Cushman, Syl- vania, O., who will discuss breeding gladioli, and C. W. Ward, Queens, N. Y., wlio will talk on the introduction of new plants. E. Y. Teas, Centerville, Ind., says that * ' there seems to be great interest in catalpa seeds and seedlings among those who wish to make plantations for tim- ber. There is general belief that C. spe- ciosa is the best variety to plant.

Updegraff, was solemnized at the family residence, 6314 Franklin ave- nue, Cleveland, Ohio, December 23, 1906. The bride is well known in Cleveland and is one of the most popular young women of the west side.

DISEASED LILIES; I have some Harrisii lilies, the lower eaves of which turn soft and flabby and •ellow in color and drop off. It makes he plants look bad. They were potted ,n October and brought in December 1. They are now about ten inches tall. What is the cause of this and how can ( remedy the trouble? I have them plunged, on a light bench, in four inches of wood shavings. By examining the roots I find a small insect a quarter of an inch in length and cream, almost white, in color. E. O. It is not likely that the trouble is any fault of yours. We recognize the trouble you have, but it is not so prevalent among the Bermuda bulbs as among the early imported Japan bulbs. We once had a bad case of it with a lot of bulbs we bought under cue name of Bermuda longiflorums. The leaves wilted and had the appearance of being scalded. We do not approve of plunging them on the bench inside. Get them out of that and put them on a warm, bright bench. We know nothing about the small worm that is infesting the roots. You might try a weak solution of lime water, a piece of fresh lime the size of an ordinary orange in three gallons of water. It will not hurt the plants, and it may not hurt the worms. W. S.

There are fifty greenhouses and the great quantity of flowers and plants taken from them every day is evidence of the business done by this firm. The Cole brothers have grown up in Peoria and the business has grown with them. They started with one small greenhouse and no thought of a down- town office, but as the population in- creased- the increased demands necessi- tated constant additions. Cole Bros, were the first in this place to give atten- tion to floral designs and this work is done by them on a large scale.

MABELLE NBW PINK CARNATION rOR 1907 Color — A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a faint yellowish cast; several shades lighter than the Law- son. Unlike most pinks, the brightest sun does not injure the color. Size— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when established. Odor — Pleasing, but not strong. Steins— Invariably strong, but always graceful, rang- ing from 12 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, etc.— A very quick, active grower, making specimen plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On ac- count of its rapid growth, requires supporting very soon after benching. Gets away rapidly, blooms early and gives long stems right from the start. Product- iveness— Prodigious is the best word we know of to use here. It is the most incessant bloomer, early and late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. Delivery Januarv 6 to 10 and later. Price $12.00 per 100; tlOO.OO THE H. WEBER & SONS CO., Oakland, Md.

CINCINNATL The Market Business since the holidays has been as it usually is at this time of the year; that is, it has been quiet. The demand for all varieties of stock is good, but the supply is limited. Roses and carnations are both scarce and the price continues high. Never before has the price of car- nations ruled so high. They are really averaging higher prices now than at the holidays. Lily of the valley and narcissi are selling well and so are all other small flowers that can be used for funeral work, which really constitutes the main part of the business. Violets are good property and are bringing good prices, especially for the single varieties. "We are having peculiar weather for midwinter. Today the temperature is 60 degrees and going up, as the sun is shining brightly, which in itself is a peculiar thing, as we have seen its rays only about five days in the last thirty. Stock in the greenhouses is suffering ac- cordingly. Maids are off color and all varieties are soft and weak stemmed. It is to be hoped that we will have some good cold, clear weather before long, so that stock will have a chance to recover from the effect of the long continued warm and cloudy weather. Various Notes. The Cincinnati Florists' Society meets January 12, at 8 p. m., and from present indications it will be the banner meet- ing of the year. The officers are doing their best to work up interest in the meetings and if only the members will help a little by coming they will be sur- prised at the fine and profitable time they will have. The meeting Saturday will be a smoker and there will be talks by several of the members on subjects which will be of general interest to all present. The rapidly approaching carnation meeting at Toronto is now being talked of a great deal. There will be four or, perhaps, five go from this city. Some action will doubtless be taken at the society meeting as to what route the Cincinnati party will travel over. It is expected to join the Chicago delegation at Detroit. C. J. Ohmer. New Castle, Ind. — Irvin Rechold, a grower for Heller Bros., is turning his hand to raising seedling carnations with promising results.

We wish to ANNOUNCE TO THE TRADE that we have withdrawn our Crimson Carnation POCAHONTAS from the market, at least for this season, and perhaps permanently. During the last few weeks of dark weather it has shown an inclination to contract a disease which if allowed to get any headway would speedily ruin it for commercial growing. The strain of dissemina- tion, and subjection to changed methods of culture would undoubtedly cause it to go to pieces right away, and knowing the circumstances it would be unjust to the variety and the trade to let it go out. We will continue to grow it as our main crimson, and if it throws oil the disease entirely we may let it go out later, but not until we feel assured that it will trot, and be a credit to us. While we regret this very much, we are grateful that it showed this weakness before we had begun sending out the stock. A.F.

DUNFORD, CUnON, MO. 592 The Weekly Florists' Review* January 10, 1907. DETROIT. The Market Business is certainly booming. There is a great deal of entertaining going on this season, and when you add to this a lot of funeral work, no wonder stock moves so well. Stock is good considering the unusu- ally dark weather we have had. The weather man gives December credit for just one real bright day. January started in as bad, but the outlook is better. Prices are high. There are no Beauties to speak of on the market. Eoses are selling readily at $5 to $12.50 per hundred. Carnations run as high as $4 per hundred for extra fine Enchantress. Narcissi, Romans, daf- fodils, stevia, etc., move readily. The daffodils are small. Many poor violets, both single and double, are thrown out daily. The Ehinebeck violets sell well. Qub Meeting. The Detroit Florists' Club meeting, held January 2, was well attended con- sidering the busy season. The cigars were on Ed Phillips this time, on ac- count of a baby girl. After the regular business a general discussion of Christ- mas business followed. The absence of our friend Scribner was noticeable. Mr. Seribner is to read an essay on "Trials and Tribulations of Detroit Florists" at the next meeting, January 16. Various Notes.

Carnations are not plentiful and prices range from $3 to $8. There has been quite a good deal of funeral work, which keeps stock cleaned up, except narcissi, which are quite plentiful. Boman hyacinths are not forced so much as they were five years ago. Potted plants are still in the lead. Our cus- tomers claim they last so much longer and give better satisfaction. There has been a special run on azaleas this sea- son. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine is all right, but don't last long enough after being taken from the greenhouse and will never be the leading plant for Christmas. Various Notes. Arthur Newell has sold the green- houses of Mrs. J. B. Cohen, of Lexing- ton, Mo., to D. W. Trine, from Dooley, Va. We are informed that Mr. Trine is well pleased with his new place and had a splendid trade at Christmas. Mr. Cohen, who died recently, was a good friend of Mr. Newell and the latter often visited him and enjoyed a good time hunting with him. James Pain has the finest lot of nar- cissi in the city. Jacob Tobler spent a few days in Pleasant Hill, Mo., visiting friends and hunting over the grounds where he hunted in his youthful days. We see by the daily papers that Ed. Ellsworth has taken out a permit to build a conservatory of brick, to cost $2,000. The Hollanders are quite plentiful nowadays. J. A. Vandervoort, of Speel- man & Sons' Bulb Co.; J. Tegelaar, of Guldemond & Sons, and V. De Eudder, of K. J. Kuyk, were visitors last week. ^W. H. H. WILTON JUNCTION, lA. On account of severe illness last sum- mer John Beimford was obliged to dis- pose of his greenhouses. But he will, no doubt, again take up the business as soon as able to do so and he finds a suitable climate. Friederichsen Bros, have purchased the greenhouses and added them to their plant. They have also put in a new Kroeschell boiler and built a 45-foot brick stack. They are now better equipped for business than ever. J. B. I COULD not run my business without the Review. — S. J.

The excellent weather which we have been having for the last few days is largely helping to increase the supply of carnations. All cut flowers are more plentiful and bring reasonable prices. The Cleveland natural gas supply was put out of commission January 4. The cause was attributed to two mains which burst at Akron, O. All the florists who use natural gas for heating found a ton or two of coal the handiest thing out. Michael H. Horvath, who for eleven years was city landscape gardener and forester, resigned his position January 1. Mr. Horvath is one of the best known scientific men in this line in the country. The reason he gives for his resignation is, that he will enter into business for himself. W. G. N. INDIANAPOLIS. Current Comment. Another week of clouds and it's a case of "Wait till the sun shines, Nellie," and all will certainly be glad when such a thing happens. It's a long lane that has no turn. New Year's business was good and everything in the shape of a bloom was taken. Some of the florists here, not being able to get any sunshine, are raising sunbeams; notably, A. F. J. Baur, who is wearing the smile that won't come off. The girl arrived January 3. Both mother and babe are doing well and Adolph is stepping high. Carl Glaubke is in the same class; date of arrival, January 5; all doing well. Carl begs to be excused from the annual meeting. William Lilly, until recently florist for the waterworks company, is now in Cali- fornia, where he expects to make his home. He writes splendid accounts of the climate and conditions generally. S. P. Cossairt, Jr., of Shelbyville, is also in the golden state and its charms are such that Hoosierdom will see him no more. Ed. J. Brown reports the Christmas and New Year's trade in Shelbyville the best ever; he has finished remodeling his plant and is in good shape to handle his spring trade. From present indications there will be DEATH TO INSECTS CENTURY INSECTICIDE CheapeBt and best on market. Once used, always ased.

THERE ARE TWO WORDS APPLYING TO GROWERS that we want to call your attention to — they are Pride and Prejudice* Every one of you growers has a great pride in what you grow; it's doubt±:"l if any professior is as keenly alert to what is doing or as persistently ambitious for results — but by the same token, the profession has the strongest sort of prejudices; the kind that frequently lead them to continue erecting houses with cumbersome supports and " old-timey " gutters or some other equally unfortunate thing — just because there are some few things about the house they like — they are "used to." When you get so " used to a thing " that it stands right in the middle of the road of progress, you can depend upon it, your up-to-date competitor is getting away your business, reducing your profits. There's a moral to it all. You can meet up-to-date competition with up-to-date houses only. You can buy up-to-date houses from up- to-date firms only. The L & B Iron Frame Houses are the up-to-date houses, the houses you need.

The Weekly Rorists^ Review. 6)1 OUR CARNATION NOVELTIES FOR 1907 Winsor, White Enchantress and Helen M. Gould ^jNE way to juds:e carnations is to see them on the exhibition tables. A better and more convincing way is to see them ^^ growing; therefore we cordially invite all carnation growers to visit us and judge for themselves regarding the superiority of the above named sorts. Our carnation houses are at SCARBOROUGH-ON-HUOSON (not Tarrytown). Friends who desire to visit us can take the N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. from New York, Trains leave there every half hour. Scarborough is the first station north of Tarrytown. Our grounds adjoin the station, and the greenhouses are about five minutes' walk from the station. We are growing 25,000 PLANTS OF WINSOR for cut flowers alone, for the New York market this season* which shows £e faith we have in it. This will also enable visitors to see it growing in quantity, and, besides that will give us enough plants to get a great abundance of fine, healthy cuttings without over-propagating. We have already booked a large Quantity among the large growers, and anticipate for this variety the largest sale of any new carnation that has ever been istributed, as large growers who have seen it are enthusiastic in regard to its value. Those who have seen it have inmiediately placed large orders for it, so we recommend those who have not ordered to place order without delay, so as to ensure early delivery. For full description of these three valuable novelties, see our Wholesale Price List. Of course, we shall have all of these varieties on exhibition at Toronto, where they can be seen, and where they will speak for themselves. Wholesale Prices, Rooted Cuttings, Spring 1907 WINSOR. Soft silvery pink. The best color, best keeper, best shipper, best seller— best every way. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. WHITE ENCHANTRESS. Has the large size, long stem, productive habit of Enchantress, but it is pure white. $12.00 per 100> $100.00 per 1000. HELEN M. GOULD. A beautiful sport of Enchantress. Ground color lovely shade of silvery pink, with very fine pencilings of carmine, making an exceedingly exquisite combination. While on close observation this variety is variegated, the general effect is one beautiful tone of dark pink. Exceedingly valuable, because it combines the earliness, freedom, long stem, and large size of Enchantress, giving another color possessing all the other desirable qualities of Enchantress. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. BEACON. Orange-scarlet. A vigorous, healthy grower, of ideal habit. A profuse bloomer, with long stems. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. ARISTOCRAT. Cerise-pink. Will be planted largely in place of Lawson. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. MELODY. Daybreak sport of Lawson, about the same color as Enctiantress, but much brighter, and does not fade like Enchantress. Also a much better keeper and shipper. Those who grow the Lawson varieties exclusively will find this very valuable and desirable, because it gives an improved Enchantress color, which is so popular, and at the same time can be grown in the same house with the other Lawsons. An extra fine thing in every way and in great demand. A great addition to the Lawson class. $10.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000. ROSE-PINK ENCHANTRESS. A sport of Enchantress. Color, dark rose-pink. $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. WHITE PERFECTION. A novelty of 1906, and a variety for which there is a great demand this season. A third larger than Lady Bountiful and a more perfect flower. $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. VICTORY. Scarlet. This is giving great satisfaction, bemg a free blooming, profitable scarlet. $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. RED LAWSON. A fine red. Our stock of tfiis is superior to many stocks of Red Lawson that we have seen. $4.00 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. VARIEGATED LAWSON. The most productive of the variegated sorts. A favorite. Outblooms Mrs. M. A. Patten. $4.00 per 100 ; $30,00 per 1000. WHITE LAWSON. An excellent white. $4.00 per 100 ; $30.00 per 1000. LADY BOUNTIFUL. Pure white. $4.00 per 100; $30.00 per 1000.

From now on you will be getting in whatever carnation cuttings you buy this season and a few reminders of how to care for them when they come in will not be amiss. First of all we have found it advisable not to allow the express companies to deliver our goods, and, unless they will send them right up to your place, you may find it advisable to do the same when the weather is severe. You can imagine what shape they are likely to be in after being hauled around town in an unheated wagon for a couple of hours in zero weather. Have them call you by phone and then you can send for them at once and take proper pre- caution against the cold. If you think the box has been exposed to the cold and frost may have pene- trated the covering, then do not unpack right away, at least not in a warm room. Let the box stand a few hours in about 50 degrees to allow the frost to draw out slowly, and in many cases no harm will be done; whereas, if they were exposed to a warm temperature at once, many would be lost. The sudden change will do more damage than the freezing unless it is severe. After unpacking, get them potted as quickly as possible, using the same pots and soil as for your own stock. If any happen to be unrooted or have the roots broken off in packing, then stick all such into your propagating bench. They w$ root better there than in the pots and when you pay a good price, such as you do for all the later introductions, you do not want to lose any of them. Lay newspapers over them the first day or two, even if the sun does not shine; it will get them gradually accus- tomed to the light after being packed up tight several days. You will likely have to shade them irom the sun a few y days longer than your own, but shade I Jtaiem only as long as the sun seems to "hurt them. The Case for Damages. If you receive a batch in poor condi- tion notify the shipper at once. Do not wait until you see how many you will lose. You may be honest enough and you may save all that could be saved, yet at the same time, he is apt to think the loss may have been caused by neglect on your part; whereas, if you notify him at once, he will know that they arrived in bad shape and will not lay the blame at your tioor. It is easier to place the l^ame where it be- longs when the facts are still fresh in his memory, and it will be easier to collect damages from the express com- pany if the case warrants such proceed- ings. As to the advisability of asking for damages from the express companies, each case must determine that for itself. But we hold that if a parcel is deliv- ered to them in good condition and plainly and conspicuously marked as to its contents and necessity of preserva- tion from frost, etc., and they delay the transit unreasonably, or expose it un- reasonably, then they should be held responsible. Many cases are known where flagrant carelessness was th*e only reason for the damage done and the col- lection of damages is the surest way of getting proper service. Of course one must use good judg- ment and be reasonable in all such cases, and be sure you place the blame where it belongs. Faulty packing and failure to make proper allowance for the severity of the weather are some- times the main causes of freezing; but pastured for the last eight years and was plowed up last spring. The plants all did well from the beginning and I lost only a few. I useji no bone meal at the time of planting, but I g£\.ve them a dressing of wood ashes about October 1 and then thirty pounds of bone meal to 500 square feet of bench about No- vember 1. Then about December 15 I gave them another dressing of wood ashes. They have made a good growth, but the following varieties are making weak stems: Flora Hill, Glacier, Peru, Mrs. E. A. Nelson and Enchantress. I have other varieties which are doing Aveli and all have been treated the same. Lawson, "White Lawson and Flora Hill have been kept at a temperature of about 54 degrees; the others, from 50 to 52 degrees. Have I overfed them? I have given them all the air possible. I thought the long spell of cloudy weather might have something to do with it. The stems are of good length and the blooms are of fair size. R. M. It is rather diliicult to say what may George H. Mills. (Superintendent of the Toronto Exlilbltlon of the Carnation Society.) as a rule the shippers will pack rea- sonably warm. A. F. .1. Baur. WEAK-STEMMED CARNATIONS. Can you tell me the cause of my car- nations growing weak stems? I benched them about August 25 and they were all good, strong plants. "When I came to fill my benches I found that I did not have enough soil in my compost, so I mixed in several loads of soil, good, clay loam, from a field that had been be causing your carnations to come weak-stemmed. As far as you state the facts your treatment has been all right and should result in good stock. Flora Hill and Peru will come rather weak at this time of the year, whatever you do; but the others should hold the bloom up well. Excessive cloudy weather will, of course, cause all kinds of stock to come soft and weak-stemmed unless you han- dle them accordingly. Your tempera- tures are all right and the food you gave them is a!l right, except I would 6U The Weekly Florists^ Review^ January 17, 1907. have advised you to put some bone into the soil at planting time. If your soil is of a light texture you would naturally have more trouble along this line than you would with a good heavy loam. A soil that makes lots of growth does not necessarily make good steins and blooms. If your plants were exceptionally large at planting time they may be too crowded by now, which would also cause a weak growth. I would advise you to keep the venti- lators open all the time, especially when you are firing heavily. This may seem like wasting fuel, but you will find it will pay you well. If you can get some sheep manure, then tie half a bushel in a burlap bag and hang it in a 50-gallon barrel of water. After three or four days .use this liquid, mixed half and half with clear water, and apply it about once in ten days and when you get bright weather give it to them once each week. Get a Kinney pump; it will save you nmch labor in the operation and you won't mind the job half so much, A little later, when evaporation is more rapid, a mulch of old stable manure will do them good. A. F. J. B. ROBERT CRAIG CARNATION. I would like to know if Eobert Craig carnation is giving satisfaction. I got fifty plants in the spring. I find it a strong grower, but there are too many split and off -colored flowers. I can 't lay it to cultivation, as it makes a good stem twenty-four inches and over and the perfect flowers come about three and one-half inches and over. I have Lawson, Enchantress and Boston Mar- ket, all doing well. Is Craig a desir- able carnation to plant in quantity? G. H. Robert Craig is doing splendidly with really profitable, but it will do this right along on account of its unfailing qual- ity. Other growers with whom I have talked seem to hold the same opinion. "We have noticed three or four plants among our stock which produce off- colored blooms, which we cannot ac- count for. Better not propagate from such plants. This need not necessarily be a weakness in the variety, but it may be simply a bud variation, the same as any otlaer sport. If it happened to be some desirable color you would save it and call it a sport; in this case it is a rogue. A. P. J. B. McKINLEY DAY. Eetailers everywhere should look for- ward to McXinley day, January 29, and each should do his share to stimulate the public interest. McKinley day will die an untimely death unless the trade does something to keep alive the spirit. Tell your local newspaper men of it and get them each to publish a little note to the effect that on January 29- everyone who voted for McKinley, or who reveres his memory, will wear a carnation. Eefer to McKinley day in your local advertis- ing and wherever possible give the senti- ment a start on the morning of McKin- ley day by seeing that people on their way to work wear carnations. Last year one retailer did a good turn by deco- rating with a boutonniere every street car employee before the cars left the barns in the morning. Another started the business by putting boys at nearby street > corners witn small baskets of blooms to sell at a nickel apiece to the people on the streets. It would be the greatest mistake to undertake to advance the price of carna- tions for January 29, and growers need make no special preparations for the day. If the normal production can be put House of Aristocrat at Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, IlL, Photoeraphed Septeniber 1, 1906* us and we consider it a good thing and worth planting in quantity. The growth is strong and the stems are fine. Blooms are large, well formed and of a deep rich red. It is not early with us and not so free as Victory, but it throws up its stems quickly and produces more blooms than one would be led to think by the appearance of the plants. It will have to bring the top price to be upon the streets that day it will be en- tirely satisfactory. AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. The Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet", 111., registers Carnation Beau Brummel, a large white overlaid with crimson, on the order of Prosperity, having more color than this variety; a cross between a white seedling and Harlowarden; au early, free and continuous bloomer, pro- ducing large well-formed flowers on good strong stems. Baur & Smith, Indianapolis, Ind., register Carnation Saint Nicholas, the brightest scarlet we have ever seen in any carnation, exactly identical with the geranium, Trego, in color; does not dull in aging; large bloom on fine, long and strong stem and very free; at its best during midwinter but comes in early and continues late; clean, vigorous, upright grower, with strong constitution; both parents seedlings. Baur & Smith also register Carnation May, a full shade deeper and brighter than Enchantress; bloom of large size and well formed; opens up the center petals as soon as the bloom is unfolded; good substance and never bursts the calyx; stem of good medium length and strong as Lawson. A fine, healthy grower and very free; comes in very early and never lets up until midsummer; both parents are seedlings. Albeet M. Herr, Sec'y. CARNATION WINSOR. At Scarboro, N. Y., the next station to Tarrytown, a few miles higher up the Hudson, there is a wonderful trans- formation occurring, for here on newly purchased land, coming right down to the railroad station, the F. E. Pierson Co. is establishing one of the most picturesque and beautifully lo- cated nurseries in America. The grounds at present cover nearly sixty acres and many fine collections are to be seen. Here, too, there is being brought into existence a great range of glass. In addition to eight older rose houses each 300 feet long, there have recently been built three plant houses over 300 feet in length and from fifty to sixty feet in width. One of these houses, built on the U-bar design, is shown in the accompanying illustra- tion. It is planted with the new Win- sor carnation. This particular house is 50x300 feet, heated and ventilated by the latest improvements. In it are ten solid beds divided half way by a 6-foot passageway. In these beds are planted 15,000 Winsor and on these plants, by a carefully counted bench, a fair aver- age would place the number of visible buds and blooms on these 15,000 plants that day, January 9, at 165,000. Winsor is a seedling raised from Daybreak and Albertina On Lawson, resulting in an entirely distinct va- riety, yet retaining all that which is best in its triple parentage. If there is any predominant element it is that which distinguishes the Lawson. Its healthy and profuse foliage is, if any- thing, a shade lighter than that of the above mentioned variety. Its flowers are borne on stiff stems, from fourteen to twenty-four inches in length. There is none of that brittleness about the stem that characterizes some other va- rieties. Not a single bursted calyx was discernible. In size the flower is the equal of Lawson. There are thr^jC benches of Winsor planted two years ago. They have never been disturbed, merely receiving the ordinary culture necessary to stock plants. Today they are a mass of healthy foliage, blooms and buds. Twelve thousand plants were put out in solid beds from 2%-inch pots last June. Large cuts were made early in October. In November 10,000 blooms January 17, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 615 House 50x300 of the F. R. Pierson Co.. Scarboro, N. Y., with Winsor Carnation in Solid Beds. were picked; in December, 20,000, and it is figured January will give 30,000. The yield at present for these 12,000 plants averages 1,000 blooms a day. It apparently is not a cropper. It brought $20 per hundred wholesale at Christ- mas and now averages from $8 to $12. Because this house has solid beds it must not be inferred that the Pierson Co. either argues in favor of this sys- tem or that Winsor is particularly sus- ceptible to its advantages, for in one of the other large houses mentioned it is shown grown on benches and looks just as well. Tor instance, the plants on one elevated bench were from 2^4- inch pots and planted August 1. Flow- ers were gathered from these in Octo- ber and there is a fine crop now on. This particular bench is the wonder and admiration of all visitors. Winsor made a hit at the fall shows and will be much in evidence at Toron- to next week. It looks a good thing and will be widely tried next season. THE TORONTO CONVENTION. The Event of the Carnation Year. Next week the greatest event of the year as regards the carnation industry takes place at Toronto. It would be diflScult to estimate in dollars and cents what this annual event is worth to the carnation industry and, in fact, to the whole floricultural world. Its influ- ence is felt in every branch of the business, and especially does it directly benefit the locality in which the conven- tion is held. Nothing will bring this flower before the public as do these ex- hibitions; and in every case a larger demand for high grade blooms follows. The sacrifices and expenses incurred by any florists' club or society in entertain- ing this society is quickly repaid in that way. There is no movement that can be and deserves more universal support from the whole craft than does this society. All benefit in about the same degree and, being national in extent, local jealousies are more easily kept in the background than in the case of local exhibitions. Personal Benefit. Just how much you benefit by its work and influence will depend, in a large measure, on your own efforts. No man gains prominence by sitting back and folding his hands. The men who gain prominence are those who take active part in whatever is doing and are always ready and willing, and it is prominence that draws business. It makes no difference whether you are grower, Retailer or commission man; whenever your patrons recognize the fact that you are prominent in your profes- sion, they gain respect for you and, other things being equal, they will trade with you in preference to your less prominent competitor. You don't need to be president, either, but it is a good idea to be pres-ent. If you are in a little town and your townsmen hear that you traveled a thou- sand miles to attend the convention they will sit up and take notice. We have members in our state society who de- clare that the fact that they come to our city and occasionally win a premium. causes their city to feel that they are about the whole show, and trade fol- lows. Make an Exhibit. If you have some good stock take some along and see how it compares with the best there is, and show others what you can do. It will be a great satisfaction to yourself if it grades up to the best, and will win you respect from the others. If you have a pet seedling of your own, and I'll guaran- tee that you have, you can find out whether it will "trot" or not. If it is a crackerjack you will be able to con- firm your good opinion. Just how full developed the blooms should be when you pack them up will depend somewhat on the distance you have to ship them. If the distance is short they can be cut quite full when they are packed, but if shipped a long distance you would better allow for de- velopment on the way. A fully de- veloped bloom will suffer much more in transit than a young bloom and there is considerable development during a two-days ' journey. Be sure the blooms are in good ship- ping condition. They should be in water several hours before being packed; and do not crowd them in the vases, but al- low each bloom to stand out separate, so it can develop all around. Try to have your blooms reach the show in such condition that they will last through the two days. They may not score quite so high the first day, but if your variety is one of the few that look fresh on the second day it will gain many friends, especially if it is a new 616 The Weekly Florists' Review* January 17, 1007. one. Those are the things that are jotted down in the note books and made use of in the future when orders are placed. There are many styles of packing, and each prominent grower has his own ideas along that line. But two things I want to say: Don't use ice, but scat- ter wet sphagnum between the stems and cleat them so they cannot move around. A. F. J. Baub. INDIANA FLORISTS' OFFICERS. Herman Jungle. Herman Junge, president of the State Florists' Association of Indiana, was born in Weimar, Germany, in 1865. After graduating from high school he served a three years' apprenticeship with the head gardener of the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar. He came to America in 1890 and, after a brief stay with Peter Henderson & Co. in New York, he went to Denver, Colorado. He located in Indianapolis in 1892 and in 1894 formed a partnership with A. F. J. Baur. The name of A. F. J. Baur, now secre- tary of the State Florists' Association of Indiana, will be recognized by the trade as that of the author of carnation notes and answers to carnation queries in the Eeview. Mr. Baur was born January 9, 1876, at Bloomfield, Pa. His father was a clergyman and the family lived in sev- eral places; but the lad attended school in whatever locality their home chanced to be until he was 13 years old. At this age he was sent to F. Morat's Sons, at Louisville, Ky., where he worked in the greenhouse for two years. After this he went to work for the E. G. Hill Co., of Richmond, Ind., January 21, 1891. He remained with this firm five years, hav- ing charge, at different times, of the carnations and exhibition mums, the latter in 1893, 1894 and 1895. It was while at this place that Mr. Baur be- came interested in plant breeding and iu carnations; and here under his hand originated Triumph, Armazindy and Flora Hill. It was December 11, 1895, when he John Heidenreich. Carl Sonnenschmidt, an old schoolmate. Ab the combination of these two names proved too much for the American jaw, the firm name was changed to plain Smith & Young Co. Besides the older establishment in the city of Indianapolis, with its 20,000 feet of glass, they now own a range of 30,000 feet of glass on a twenty-five-acre tract near Cumberland, Indiana. Both cut flowers and plants are grown, the firm having achieved an especially good reputation for its suc- cess with violets. went to Stuart & Haugh, at Anderson, Ind., to grow roses, and January 1, 1897, before he had reached his twenty- first birthday, he became foreman of H. A. Niemeyer's place, at Erie, Pa. He remained with this firm two years, then took a similar position with Charles Siebert, of Pittsburg, but remained there only five months. Mr. Baur formed the partnership with F. S. Smith, who was also a gradu- ate from the Hill establishment, May 20, 1899, and together they leased the Bernie Fohl place, at Indianapolis where they have been ever since. The firm of Baur & Smith has enjoyed continued prosperity, having trebled ita capacity since starting. In 1905 they started a new place, building one house 30x355, to which they are this season adding another of the same dimensions. Seeing the possibilities for high-grado carnations soon after locating in In- dianapolis, they have devoted nearly the whole place to them and have built up a splendid trade, both in blooms an; rooted cuttings. Mr. Baur has been writing carnation notes for the Review since 1900 and ha answered hundreds of inquiries in re gard to the culture of this flower. Hi. married April 10, 1901, Miss Elm. Steinkamp, of Richmond, Ind., and thei; first born, a daughter, came January ?> of this year. Mr. Baur is a member o^ the American Carnation Society. . John Heidenreich. John Heidenreich, the treasurer of the State Florists' Association of Indi- ana, was born in Germany in 1866 and came to American when only 18 years of age. For seven years he worked in the establishments of many florists in many cities and gained a wide -knowl- edge of the business, finally bringing up at Indianapolis, where he started in business for himself in 1901 at Apple- gate and Iowa streets, where he now has a range of about 22,000 square feet of glass. He is an expert pla,ntsman and makes a specialty of spring plants for the wholesale market in Indian- apolis. PRESIDENT TOTTY'S INAUGURAL. [Charles H. Totty's Inaugural address, deliv- ered before the New York Florists' Club, at its meeting January 10, 1907.] In assuming the office of president of this organization, permit me to say first of all, that it is not my wish or desire to deviate in the least degree from the policy that has successfully marked the terms of my predecessors in office. The club is making history rapidly, both in the increase in membership and in the regard with which it is considered by the outside horticultural world, and it will be my chief aim to throw no ob- stacle in the path of its progress. No Change in Policy. There are one or two suggestions that I will speak on before I close, but they are not of such moment as to be con- sidered any change' in policy or in any way revolutionary. That I appreciate the honor you have done me in electing me as your presi- dent goes without saying. As I look around I see many good members here who are more entitled to this office than I am; men who have borne the heat and burden of the day, in the old days when it was more or less of a struggle to keep the organization on its feet. To these members who are now willing to stand aside and let the younger men push along the car of progress I feel doubly grateful. A suggestion was made to me by W. J. Stewart, president of the 8. A. F., that this club should appoint a commit- ter on closer relations with the S. A. F. This suggestion I consider is a valuable one and would like to see it come up for discussion later in the even- ing and such a committee appointed. In unity there is strength, and if idl the horticultural societies in the country had JANUAKV 17, 1907, The Weekly Florists^ Review* 6J7 Herman H. Jungfe. trust that members will avail themselves of this aid to knowledge, for in the multitude of counsel there is wisdom. Outing and Entertainment, It has been suggested that the outing committee find a new place to hold the picnic this year, or suggest some change in that method of enjoyment. I trust the new committee will grapple with the problem and be ready with any changes they may deem worth trying and present them at an early date for the club's consideration. The outing is the children's day and I trust we will be able to arrange an enjoyable affair, without having a heavy burden of work and worry fall on the heads of a faith- ful committee for their pains. Bowling is an enjoyable pastime, and most of our cities have a bowling team in connection with their florists' club. It is to me a matter of regret that New York makes such a wretched showing at the annual meetings of the S. A. F. Will it never be possible for the club to render some assistance, to organize a bowling club for members only and give us a chance to win some of the splendid trophies annually competed for? I would much like to hear some discussion on this subject. It has been suggested that the annual dinner be held at a new hotel or some means be adopted to make this an event that every member of the club will be anxiotfe to participate in. If any mem- ber has any suggestions to offer, under this head, it will be necessary to do so tonight, as the dinner committee will get to work at once. A Permanent Home. I would like to see some provision made before long for a permanent home for the club. This is a thing that can- a connection with each other, through the S. A. F., it might be that much good could come through it. The pri- mary object of all such organizations as this is the advance of floriculture and as the keynote in all lines of business life now is cooperation, so could we, by cooperating with kindred bodies, accomplish much more in a given time. The Private Gardener. We are a body chartered under the name of the New York Florists' Club. Whether this name has in the past acted as some of our members think it has to keep out a large body of private gar- deners, who as practical horticulturists would be valuable men in our ranks, is an open question. But if such an idea does exist, we should endeavor to find ways and means to correct such a mis- understanding. Whether this could best be done by personal solicitation or through the operation of a special com- mittee I leave to you, but I would like to see an effort made to induce very many more of the private growers to join us. I trust the award committee will, as in the past, use their best judgment in scoring exhibits, so that the seal of this club's approval, being placed on any new variety of plant or flower,* will mean that that particular variety is worthy of such an honor. Let us by all means keep our merit marks up to the standard and be governed, as in the past, by an honest and conservative estimate of the novelties put before us. The question box has been useful in the past and can be made so again. I A. F. J. Baur 6\Z The Weekly Florists^ Review* Januaby 17, 1907. not be done in a month or a year, but we could make a start, looking to that end. I would favor the appointment of a building committee, if the club as a body think well of the idea; this com- mittee to look the field over and study out ways and means to acquire title to property in the name of the club. We have many good, successful busi- ness men in the club and I am confident that a representative committee could evolve a financial plan whereby this idea could be made feasible and I leave it with you for your careful and serious consideration. We must not be hasty in action on such a proposition, either to accept or reject it; but I do trust that every member will think it over in his own mind and come prepared at some future meeting to talk on the sub- ject intelligently. In conclusion, fellow members, I beg of you to give me your encouragement and support during the coming year. Attend all the meetings you possibly can. Bear with my mistakes until I have familiarized myself with my duties, and in return, I promise to give this club the best that is in me. CLEANING GREENHOUSE GLASS. I have about 9,000 feet of glass and started to scrub it first with strong lye, then with soap powder, but had no suc- cess with either. The glass is so smoky and dirty that if a man walks along out- side he cannot be seen at all, and I must get it off. I would highly appreciate any information to assist me in my un- dertakings. J. P. H. If lye applied to the glass will not re- move the dust and smoke we don't know what will. Perhaps you did not go at it in a very effectual way. Tie a bunch of rags on the end of a pole, saturate the rags in the lye water and rub them over the glass and before the glass is dry rub it with another bunch of rags. Have a helper playing the hose on the glass. Lye will take off paint, much less smoke. The man with the hose can keep the glass wet a few feet beyond you and wash off what you have rubbed off with the rags and lye water. Where lead and oil have been foolishly used on the glass for a summer shade we have known it to be necessary to sprinkle the glass with lye water and then get on the roof with scrubbing brushes. W. S. CYANIDE. Please give me a safe and efficient re- ceipt for fumigating 9,100 feet, with top and side ventilation. My potassium cya- nide seems to be strong, as it bleached some carnation buds and the Asparagus plumosus. A. W. I could easily give you my formula for the poison, but it appears that cya- nide is often of different degrees of strength and that would make a differ- ence in quantity needed. Our formula, which we have often used and found safe and efficient, is one pint water and one pint in weight of sul- phuric acid. Mix the water and acid in a gallon butter jar and, if more than one jar is needed, place the jars equally divided on the floor of the greenhouse path. At sunset add to each jar two and one-half ounces of cyanide of potas- sium. Have each little parcel of cyanide done up in double paper. Start at one end of the house and walk along and drop the parcel of cyanide into the jar of water and acid. If there are two paths, then you will need an assistant, but there is not the slightest danger if you both go right along, neither ahead of the other, as it takes a minute or so for gas to be generated. As your house contains 9,100 cubic feet of atmosphere, then you will need six jars. The above formula is for 1,500 cubic feet of atmosphere. Keep the ventila- tors closed all night. If you have not given me the cubic feet, I suppose you know to get it; find out how many superficial feet there are in the gable end of your greenhouse and multiply by the length of the house. . Don't go to the village store for your cyanide; go to a wholesale druggist in your nearest large city. W. S. REFUSE HOPS. Please let me know if brewery hops, that is, waste, make as good a dressing as cow manure, as cow manure is becom- ing scarce. A. L. I am unable to say what chemical properties refuse hops contain, but hav- ing used hundreds of tons I can say something about them. They heat most violently if left in a heap for a few dayg and this makes them a valuable ingre- dient for a hotbed mixed with leaves. I have ploughed them into the sand aiii they have raised great crops of whfc;;t and other grain. I have used a fifth .f hops to four-fifths of soil for carnatiou benches and picked more flowers of o.i varieties, as Edwardsii, than I ever ha^e since. When partially decomposed, so that they will run through a coarse sieve th- .• make the finest of fertilizers for gerai ums, begonias, fuchsias, in fact, any , r' our greenhouse plants, except roses, .'s a mulch they, are unequaled for Iran - planted trees and shrubs. For plungiL:' plants on a greenhouse bench they a vo unequaled. It is not an article to l.j compared with cow manure. It contair-i little or no ammonia, but its mechanic; I effect on the soil is wonderful. Why we don't use much of it of late years is because brewers use less hop? and the farmers have learned the value of them and are glad to cart them away W. S. PROPAGATION BY GRAFTING. There are many different styles of grafting, but the style followed by most rose growers for indoor stock is the style called whip grafting, or some modification of the same. As speed and expediency are the principal objects to be obtained, nearly every propagator has his own favorite style, which is the one he is usually most proficient in. The manual part of this operation, although quite simple, seems at first irk- some and difficult to those who have had no experience in this class of work; and they are usually afraid to make a trial, the bogie of failure being ever present in their minds. The fundamental principle pertaining to all styles of grafting is the necessity of having a direct communication be- tween the layers of inner bark in all the parts to be united, as without this a perfect union cannot be effected. The woody parts of the stock and scion never unite, but are usually so covered up by the outer growth, that unless the parts be dissected it is never dis- covered. The usual style of modified whip grafting is performed somewhat as fol- lows: place the pot containing the stock firmly between the knees, then with a keen edged knife begin about one-half an inch above the soil in the pot and make an oblique cut upward. This cut should be from one-half an inch to three-quarters of an inch in length. Pick out a scion as nearly as possible the same diameter as the stock and make a similar cut thereon, but reversed. Place the wounds together and wrap firmly but not tightly, with some soft mate- rial, such as soft cotton twine or raffia. The plants should, without delay be placed in the grafting box, as any lengthened exposure to the dry atmos- phere is apt to shrivel the scion. Imme- diately after being placed in the case the whole should receive a good sprink- ling and kept moist for some time. This method of grafting seems to the uninitiated a very slow business, but a little experience and attending to the principles and details will insure speed and success. The future care of the stock while in the case and after its removal to the bench will form the basis of a future article. BiBSS. OUTDOOR ROSES FOR CUTTING. In the Eeview of January 10, under the above heading, B. S. asks for the b#t varieties. In addition to Mr. Scott's remarks allow me to say that ii B. S. will adhere closely to his advice as regards soil, etc., and observe the following he will strike the nail on the head. About May 1 select plants from 2^^- inch pots, of such varieties of the teas and hybrid teas as are ordinarily strong January 17, 1907. The Weekly Florists" Review^ 619 Rooting Rose Cuttings at the Establishment of Peter Reinberg, Chicago. growers, eliminating none because of their supposed tenderness. Bather bear in mind the colors most desired. Plant in beds or rows. If conditions are right the product should be considerable the first summer. In the fall after hard frosts and be- fore winter, usually in Ohio about No- vember 1, carefully loosen the soil around the stem of each plant; bend the plant flat to the ground and cover en- tirely with at least two inches of soil; three inches will be better. When com- pleted, the bed or row should show no signs of the contents. On top of this place a good coating of strawy manure. It is better to defer this last operation for a couple of weeks, or until the ground is frozen an inch or more in depth. Evergreen boughs, corn fodder or other litter on top of the whole will be an advantage in the northern lati- tudes, but not absolutely necessary. The object is not to prevent the roses from freezing, but to rather prevent their thawing on every bright day dur- ing winter. The reasons for this are apparent and need no explanation. The following year, when outdoor vegetation shows signs of spring, un- cover the plants carefully and straighten by firming the soil with the foot. Then use the knife fearlessly. Cut everything back to mere stubs, and short stubs at that. Leave nothing over two inches from main stem. In this manner^ you concentrate all growth into the base buds. The tenderest roses should winter per- fectly in this manner any place in the United States. In our northern lati- tudes there are localities where they are subject to thaws and warm spells in winter. There I would advise a heavier covering for reasons above stated. Re- peat the process from year to year, bearing in mind to loosen the soil around the stems before bending down. The reasons for this are apparent. Use the knife more freely each season, aiming to hold the bushes to a medium size. In fact, they should not be allowed to in- crease much after the second season. To maintain fertility depend upon the top dressing of manure and bone meal. I should perhaps say that while all varieties will prove hardy under this treatment, not all varieties will pro'duce good results. There are some sorts of teas and hybrid teas that are especially good outdoor bedders. These are what you want to tie to. S. C. Tempun. SWEET PEAS CLOSING. What is the best way to keep sweet peas after being cut? Mine close tight after being' cut. S. P. Sweet peas open very slowly in dark, dull weather and unless fully open will close on the plant about 5 p. m. We think you have picked the flowers before they were sufficiently open. Unlike many of our commercial flowers, which increase in size when cut and put in water, the sweet peas, especially cut before they are fully out, do not develop a particle after being cut. Let your flowers be more fully open and I don't think you will complain of their closing. W. S. one of the ways has been the frosting of the show windows. Burning gas in the windows to keep off the frost is un- satisfactory. Many storemen run electric fans in the windows and this in a meas- ure keeps down the ice, but it is detri- mental to the stock in the window. For this purpose the Pharmaceutische Zei- tung recommends the application of a mixture consisting of fifty-five grams of glycerine dissolved in one liter of sixty- two per cent alcohol, containing, to im- prove the odor, some oil of amber. 'As soon as the mixture clarifies, it is rubbed over the inner surface of the glass. This treatment, it is claimed, not only pre- vents the formation of frost, but also stops sweating. ' PREVENTS FROST ON WINDOWS. One cold day last winter when B. Eschner, whom everybody knows, was sit- ting, with his ear muffs down, his mittens and his rubbers on, behind a frost-cov- ered hotel window waiting for train time, he ran across the following in a paper: ' ' This has been a bad winter for the storekeeper in more ways than one. And LATE BULBS, I have a number of bulbs left from my fall sales 'and have net had time to get them out and would like to know if there is any way I can use them. Can I get them ready for Kaster? I have tu- lips, narcissi, Dutch and Roman hya- cinths. W. C.W. You can plant your tulips, hyacinths and narcissi in flats three inches deep and place them in a frame and cover with three or four inches of soil. They will be in fine order for Easter forcing and you will find the quality of flowers quite as good as those you planted in October and November. As a proof of this, some years ago it froze up before we had filled an order for a customer in the fall and we had to wait until our January thaw, which usu- ally occurs. It was the middle of Janu- ary before we got them into the ground and they gave us splendid flowers in April and May. Get your bulbs into good, friable soil at once and you are all right. W. 8. 620 The Weekly Rorists^ Review. January 17, 1907. SEEDING OF LORRAINE. In the issue of the Gardeners' Chron- icle for December 15 there was a note on Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, by B. Cromwell as follows: "The stock was raised by leaf propagation from cuttings, and from seed, the latter germinating on the surface of the pans, which last year were suspended in the corridor, thus showing clearly that B. Gloire de Lorraine will reproduce itself from seed providing tnte atmospheric surroundings are suitable." There are many growers who have yet to learn that Begonia Gloire de Lorraine does produce seed. We shall be much surprised if the note by Mr. Cromwell does not fall as a bombshell on the ears of many professional men. The theory that hybrids are not capable of repro- ducing themselves by seed is, we know. gradually being broken down; but that B. Gloire de Lorraine is assisting in up- setting this theory is somewhat surpris- ing. The number of articles that have been published during the past fifteen years, in reference to the propagation and cultivation of this plant are enor- mous; but we do not recollect reading of anyone being successful in the saving of seed, at least with one exception. A note appeared in the Gardeners' Chron- icle about six years ago. It had been inserted by a leading firm of nursery- men, and stated that they had been suc- cessful in the raising (not saving) of seed, and that they hoped at a future date to be in a position to exhibit the plants at a meeting of the Eoyal Horti- cultural Society. Whether they had the "honor" of doing this we trow not. — Gardeners' Chronicle. BougainvlUeas. If you have any bougainvilleas that have been resting it is time to get them into a warmer house and freely water and syringe them. They will break from the ripened wood and the breaks will be flowers. Gardenias. You can put in cuttings of gardenias now. The very tender, young growths are not suitable for cuttings. What florists call the half-ripened wood of last fall is more suitable for cuttings. Put them in sand where the bottom heat is 70 degrees and they will soon root. We lately saw a lot of gardenias from which we thought something might be learned. These were a lot in 6-inch pots that had been lifted from a bed where they had been planted out. The foliage was yellow, as it had been on the plants before lifting, while half a dozen large plants in 9-inch pots were as green as bay trees and covered with buds. Possibly while planted out the smaller plants were overwatered, and, it being a rather cool house for gar- denias, the plants could not use all the material given them; while the larger plants were a mass of roots and did ab- sorb all the moisture provided them. Dutch Hyacinths. You can bring into the greenhouse now at any time a few hundred pots of ' Dutch hyacinth. They are always welcome. Give them, after the first few days inside, a temperature of 60 de- grees to 65 degrees and they soon will be in flower. The first batch will take two weeks longer to come into flower than do succeeding crops. Fuchsias. You should put in all the vigorous fuchsia cuttings this month. Fuchsias put in the sand this month will make quick growing, vigorous plants that will he in flower in May. After the end of this mouth you can no longer get good fuchsia cuttings. The old plants are so anxious to grow the cuttings will want to flower instead of grow and will not make healthy plants. Zonal Geraniums. It is really remarkable how many com- plaints we get from people who say that their geraniums do not flower We have had quite a different experience. Our zonal geraniums would, from May 1, flower themselves to death if we did not pick off many of the full blown trusses. This is by no design of ours. Perhaps it is merely the soil. For the first two or three weeks of January we are busy shifting the geraniums from 2-inch to 3-inch pots. This is a small shift, but you can always so reduce the ball that it will make it a substantial shift. Some growers will say this is too great an expense. If you want fine 4-inch geraniums in May it will pay. In shifting use a heavy loam, with little, if any, animal manure. The only ma- nure of that kind that you should use would be the remains of an old hotbed, which could only be of mechanical bene- fit to the soil. About the first part of February you should move and go over all your 3- inch geraniums. Most of them will give you a cutting. Don't ruin or stunt a plant for the sake of a cutting. If the growth is not sufficiently long to give you a cutting, then just nip out the center of growth and you will have an extra fine branching plant, but the majority will give you a cutting and still leave you enough stem to branch and make a good plant. Firm, hard potting at this time is of great conse- quence, but not so important as the later shift from 3-inch to 4-inch pots. The cuttings you take off the young plants should not be put into the sand. Put them into 2-inch pots, making sure the soil is firm and compact around the base of each cutting and place the pots on a bench in a house where the temperature is 50 degrees. Water once thoroughly and then give no more water until the plants are decidedly dry. You should not lose ten per cent of them. Plants rooted in the pots are much bet- ter than those rooted in sand. These winter-struck plants will not be as large or early as those you are shifting into 3-inch, but they will come in for late beds in June. This class of geraniums is largely succulent and will do with less water than is generally given them. Let them be decidedly dry before you water. Up to the first part of Aprii you do not want them to grow and maki leaves; you only want them to mako good roots in the 3-inch pots. There is one advantage in an early Easter; you have a chance to attend to your bedding plants, so this year you will be able, early in April, to givi- your zonal geraniums their 4-inch pots. Avoid any rich manure, which will pro duce loaves and not flowers. At thi? shifting pot firmly, using a fresh loan, with the addition of a 4-inch pot o. bone flour to a bushel of soil. Poi firmly and give geraniums at all timej^ the fullest light and plenty of venti lation. Do this and I do not see how you can complain that your geraniums do not flower. We have often seen geran iums, tall, leafy things, grown in par- tial shade, but always found such plants were grown in soil that was half rotten manure or leaf -mold and they had gone to leaf instead of flower. Begonia Semperflorens. Sow seeds of Begonia semperflorens this month. The seed is very minute and needs no covering. Scatter the seeds very thinly over the freshly- watered surface of the soil and place the pots or flats where no ray of sun will reach them. This class of begonias is very useful. They make a most ac- ceptable pot plant. They are fine for filling vases and window-boxes and some of the varieties make splendid fiower beds. You cannot sow the small seeds too thinly. WILLIAM SCOTT. NEV YORK- The Market. Brothers Scott, the beavers, the deer and the wild birds were all false prophets this year and the long, cold winter is now an impossibility. Before we know it the equinoctial storms and Easter will be here. Last week was one of rains, fogs and high temperatures and this week opens just as depress- ingly, vdth little prospect of clear, cold, seasonable weather. The result of it all is seen in the color of the fiowers and the scarcity of fine roses, while the in- fluence of clouds and wind is felt in every department of the florists* trade. All prices have naturally fallen. The best Beauties seldom go above $50 per hundred and Bride, Maid, Killarney and the red roses especially, have all declined in values. The same may be said of carnations, valley and even cat- tleyas, while of hyacinths and narcissi there is enough and to spare. With a change to winter weather will come a brisk demand, better quality of stock and a revival in the general business that has already been too long delayed. President's Dinner. President C. H. Totty, of the New York Florists' Club, entertained at din- ner on Saturday evening, at the Hotel Earlington, the following gentlemen whom he constituted his cabinet, and in addition the secretary of the S. A. F., P. J. Hauswirth, of Chicago: John Bir- nie, Wm. Duckham, A. J. Manda, J. B. January 17, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review, 621 Delivery Team Beloogiag to C. C. Trefel, Brooklyn, N.

Patrick O 'Mara and others were prevented by illness from being present. The dinner was flawless. Many sugges- tions looking to a year of unequaled pros- perity for the club were made and a good many novel and helpful methods were discussed that cannot fail to bear fruit. An interesting address was made by Secretary Hauswirth. How to run a successful flower show was elaborated. The consent of Mr. Nugent to supervise the commissary another year was wel- comed with enthusiasm. John Birnie spoke for the canteen and its refining power. Mr. Duckh'km and Mr. Manda represented the private gardeners and prophesied large accessions of these to the club membership. The president of the 8. A. F. had many interesting reminiscences and much good advice on tap. Everyone present evinced the liveliest interest in the club's wel- fare. Mr. Traendly resumed the cap- taincy of the outing ship. But the theme of greatest interest was the establish- ment of a permanent home for the club, with all the conveniences of libraries, boM'ling alleys and the other modern club requisites so alluringly exhibited by the Philadelphia brethren. It was unani- mously acknowledged that the time was ripe. President Totty, notwithstanding a week of grip and slow convalescence, was full of enthusiasm and valuable sugges- tions and these, with many others made at the dinner, will be incorporated in his address and read at the club meeting on Monday evening. It was the Lord's day, as Bro. Birnie expressed it, when the congregation dispersed, after one of the most enjoyable and interesting evenings of the dinner season. The decorations were of Elsa Struss carnations supplied by John Young. Club Meeting. The first meeting in 1907 of the Flo- rists' Club was a hummer, nearly 100 members being present and the keenest interest being maintained until nearly midnight. The success of the Totty ad- ministration is already assured. His address was a model of conciseness, practicability and simple eloquence. Fol- lowing this splendid effort were prac- tical and appreciative addresses by the new oflScers and trustees, Messrs. A. J. Manda, John Young, L. W. Wheeler, John Scott, Walter Sheridan and John Donaldson. The president appointed the following committees: Legislature — Messrs. O'Mara, Sheridan and Hallock; essays — Messrs. Scott, O'Mara and Wallace; awards — Messrs. Duckham, Hurrell; Jos. Manda, Harry Turner, Pye, Hoffmieyer and Butterfield; exhibition — Messrs. Jas. Scott, Guttman, Weber, Kessler, Wes- ton and Dailledouze; outing — Traendly, Shaw, Burnett, Al Eickards, Donaldson, Gottlieb, Marshall, Zeller and Langjahr; house and entertainment — Messrs. Nu- gent, Will Eickards and Eobert Schultz ; dinner — Messrs. Scott, Birnie and Sheri- dan. The report of Mr. Weathered, the re- tiring treasurer, showed a balance of over $2,000 in the treasury. The unani- mous vote of thanks from the club at- tested the appreciation felt for the nine- teen years of faithful service given by Mr. Weathered. Later in the evening practical demonstration of his popular- ity was shown in the presentation through Mr. Sheridan, on behalf of the club, of a beautiful and valuable solid silver tea service. The resolutions on the death of Mrs. E. V. Hallock were adopted. The six gentlemen proposed at the last meeting for membership were elect- ed, and Eobert Berry, Henry Hornecker, Albert Weisenberger, August Bergerot, A. F. Faulkner and Geo. E. Dickinson were nominated. The award committee reported favor- ably on the exhibits of Salvia nana com- pacta, from F. G. Mense, of Glen Cove, L. I.; Beacon carnations, from the Cot- tage Gardens Co.; three varieties of cyp- ripediums, from Edward J. Norman, of Lee, Mass.; a plant of Moschosma ripar- ium, from William Duckham, of Madi- son, and a patented pot hanger from W. C. Krick, of Brooklyn. Messrs. Nugent and Eickards inau- gurated their regime with an abundance of good things to eat. Phil. Hauswirth thought their work was above par. His speech was heartily applauded and his ideas on closer relations with the S. A. F. and the desirability of membership in the parent society met with sincere approval. He spoke for the national show at Chicago in 1908. President Totty told of the excellent management of the Chicago show of 1906. Benj. Hammond gave a splendid address in be- half of the rose meeting at Washington in March. He was ably seconded by Robert Simpson, president of the rose society. President Totty was authorized to ap- point a committee on closer relations with the S. A. F. and it was decided to have the club's annual dinner early in February. Various Notes. The (laughter of Wm. Amos, Jr., is very ill with spinal meningitis and little hope of her recovery is entertained. Julius Kretschmar, uncle of A. H. Langjahr, suffered his second paralytic stroke last week but has rallied encour- agingly. Patrick O'Mara is recovering from a severe attack of the grip but was un- able to attend the meeting of the Flor- ists' Club Monday evening, much to his regret. Several members of his family are suffering from the same disease, which is now epidemic in New York and vicinity. In fact, dozens in the trade are ill and the majority have already had a siege of it. There seems to be no worse climate than this for the de- velopment of this annoying form of in- fluenza and in some cases pneumonia has followed it. Harry Bunyard is back from his west- ern and Canadian trip and says it has been the most successful since his con- nection with the seed house of A. T. Boddington. Mr. Boddington has had his share of the grip with the rest of his brethren. D. P. Roy, of Montreal, long with the seed house of W. W. Ewing & Co., is now with this house. William F. Kasting, of Buffalo, was an expected visitor in the city Monday, but failed to reach the club meeting as anticipated. However, the president and secretary of the Rose Society and the president and secretary of the S. A. P. added dignity and interest to the New York Club's first meeting for 1907 and President Totty begins his reign under distinguished auspices. On Sunday evening the store and con- servatory of Hale's, at East Orange, ■^ere entered by thieves and considerable stock and plants stolen. One of the striking evidences of tJi6 wonderful telephone development is pre- sented by the telephone directory, which is now a book of 738 pages, weighing three pounds, and containing the names of the telephone subscribers of New York and vicinity. This book is revised and distributed every four months, the size of the edition being graphically shown by the fact that one edition of the books fills a train of twenty-five freight cars. In the flower stores the book has come to be considered the best general directory of New York and vicinity, which is a further indication of the completeness of the telephone de- velopment. Bobbink & Atkins are having built for them by the Lord & Burnham Co. a new azalea house 268 feet long. This firm is preparing for a tremendous Eas- ter trade. Julius Eoehrs Co. is shipping superb valley and lilac blooms to the New York market. This company has made a spe- cialty of large orange trees in fruit and has some fine specimens of these, as well as bay trees. Of the latter it sent two to Newport last week valued at $500 a pair.

Once more we may remind you of the carnation convention at Toronto, so that you may still secure a berth in the spe- cial car that leaves the Grand Central depot of the New York Central at 8 p. m. Tuesday, January 22. Make no mistake as to the hour and secure tick- ets in advance. The attendance from the city and vicinity will be large and all anticipate a delightful outing in the land of ice*^nd snow. If all these sick ones in this damp, grippy climate could get a few days of the dry, pure air of Toronto, they would be well. The car- nation convention is almost as popular as the S. A. F. convention nowadays and the new and grand varieties grown and sent out from this center compare with any in the world. It is little won- der the attendance from New York will be a large and creditable one. W. H. Donohoe had the family order for a large funeral at West Brighton, Staten Island, last week, which in- cluded a palm decoration, a casket cover of 4,000 violets and a standing wreath of valley and orchids. Beecher said that, "in the smile of a child and the sweet face of the rose he could see the Infinite, ' ' and so in the elaborate window display at Alex. Mc- Connell's, in the Arcade, you can imag- ine you see about everything worth see- ing in floral combination and beauty. Some remarkable exhibits are to be seen in the Broadway and Fifth avenue windows, at times bordering on the sen- sational: marble statuary, ribbons in profusion, trunks filled with orchids, great Japanese and European vases filled with spring flowers, forsythia and double flowering plum. After all, why not anything that will attract and ad- vertise and so increase a public inter- est? Basket combinations are most ar.- tistically managed. The new ferns are grand acquisitions. These and many other novelties are being used to open the blind eyes and appeal to the dor- mant artistic taste of the great multi- tude who day and night wander up and down the great white way. Truman C. Flagler, of 926 Fulton street, Brooklyn, has sold his business to Wm. H. Dudley. Wm. Starke has been ill with the grip and so is in the fashion. His plant trade continues to increase and more room is a necessity. C. Bonnet, of Bonnet & Blake, Brook- lyn, has about regained his health after nearly three months' ordeal that re- doced him over fifty pounds in weight. J. Austin Shaw. NEWPORT, R. I. Chang^es in Ownership. For a few years several prominent Newport summer residents have absented themselves from the queen of summer re- sorts. This fact in some degree affected commercial horticulture, but not to a great extent, because in many cases the residences of those absentees were each year leased by others. Now several of those, who in recent years have leased places here, have purchased large estates lately owned by persons who had become indifferent to the attractions of New- port and there is much gladness in the hearts of many engaged in the retail trade. The most notable of recent transactions of the kind referred to is the purchase, by William B. Leeds, of Rough Point, the beautiful estate of F. W. Vanderbilt. Mr. and Mrs. Leeds, since they have made Newport their summer home, have been among the most lavish entertainers and their entertainments were invariably noted for the grandeur of the floral deco- rations. There are vague rumors that a range of greenhouses will be built for supplying plants, fruits and flowers to the new owners of Rough Point. Pembroke Jones has also purchased a large estate and has engaged P. Devine, lately gardener for the Baroness Seili- erre, to superintend improvements and alterations. It is more than probable that greenhouses will be built by Mr. Jones. Society Meeting. The Newport Horticultural Society held its first meeting of the year, Janu- ary 8, in the society's hall in the Mer- cury building, President Bruce Butterton in the chair. At a meeting of the ex- ecutive committee, held a week before, it was voted to make the following recom- mendations to the society: That during the year 1907 two exhibitions of plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables and decorations be held in Masonic hall; that the amount of money to be appropriated for pre- miums should not be less than $1,000; that the price of admission be reduced from 50 cents to 25 cents, and that music and dancing should take up a part of at least one evening of each exhibi- tion. All the recommendations were adopted. The first exhibition will be, in great part, of roses and the exact time at which it will be held will be decided later, but it will most likely be in the last week in June or the first week in July. The other exhibition will just as likely be held in early September, when dahlias will again be a prominent fea- ture. A communication was read from Pro- fessor Wheeler, of the Rhode Island Ex- periment Station, in which he stated his willingness to deliver one or more lec- tures before the society during the win- ter. The secretary was requested to ac- cept the offer on behalf of the society and invite Professor Wheeler to deliver the first address Tuesday evening, Janu- ary 22. The subject of the address will be, ' ' Soda in the Soil in its Relation to Plant Growth." As the question of attendance at meet- ings is one that concerns every horticul- tural organization throughout the coun- try, it may be of general interest to make it known that this society has had distributed to all its members a hand- some calendar with the name and ad- dress of the president and secretary, with the day of the week and date upon which the meetings are held, prominently printed on them. This will, it is hoped, act as a sufficient reminder, to members, of their duty to themselves and to the society during the coming year. Annual BalL The annual ball of the Newport Hor- ticultural Society was held in Masonic hall January 9. For a month one of the best committees ever connected with the society was exceedingly busy in the preparations for this event. This com- mittee consisted of Bruce Butterton Daniel Coughlan, John T. Allan and Alexander Fraser; and to say that their work was well done would only be giving; them meager credit. The committee met with unprecedented success, with the re suit that the other evening there gatli- ered at the hall to make merry a larger .and more congenial crowd than hitherto has met on a like occasion. The hall was beautifully decorated with wreathing, bay trees, palms and bells, all of whicn were illuminated by electric lights innumerable. The stage was bordered from end to end with speci- men plants of Begonia Gloire de Lor raine, donated by R. & J. Farquhar & Co., of Boston. Other out-of-town firms taking a substantial interest in the af fair included. Stump & Walter, Hitch ings & Co., Weeber & Don, Lord & Burn- ham, of New York, and Schlegel & Fott- ler, of Boston. The grand march was led by Daniel (Joughlan and Mrs. W. Allan, Jr. The Harry S. Howard orchestra furnished the music. Ralph Reilly. INDIANAPOLIS. Current Comment. Trade and weather conditions remain unchanged from last week. An aver- age temperature of about 55 degrees in mid-winter is certainly strange in this latitude. Of course all kinds of stock shows the effects of so much warmth and cloudiness and all are wishing for colder weather and sun- shine. Association Meetioc;. The twentieth annual meeting of the State Florists' Association of Indiana was a great success, both in attendance and exhibits. Great interest was shown in the business transacted and it is hoped much good will result from this meeting. The schedule for the judging of flowers and plants was taken up and adopted unanimously. Two amendments were made to the constitution of the society, defining the duties of the ex- ecutive committee. Ira Clark, of Greensburg, and Albert Pettit, of this city, were elected members. The offi- cers for 1907 are: Herman Junge, president; Charles Knopf, Richmond, first vice-president; F. Hukriede, sec- ond vice-president; A. F. J. Baur, sec- retary, and John Heidenreich, treas- urer. A nice lot of carnations were ex- hibited and much admired and certifi- cates were awarded to the following: Sarah Hill, a large white, shown by the B. K. & B. Floral Co., scored eighty- seven points; Superior, a large, bright pink, shown by the same firm, scored eighty-five points; St. Nicholas, a fine scarlet, and May, a nice, light pink, shown by Baur & Smith, each scored eighty-five points. Mabelle, shown by Weber & Sons Co., gained the honor and was well thought of by all. The color is ex- tremely good and should fill a long-felt want in the pink class. Pink Imperial, shown by J. E. Haines, had no opposition. It is in a class by itself. The large flowers of deep color and long stems put it head and shoulders above any other exhibit in the room. Imperial is all right, but the color won't go in this section. Striped carnations of any color never January 17, 1907. The Weekly Rorists^ Review* 623 have made much of a hit with the flower buyers of this city, Winsor was shown by F. R. Pierson Co., but, owing to the long time it was on the road, was not in its best shape and those present who saw it last March at Cincinnati were sorry, as they knew what a fine thing it was there. It is one of the most pleasing shades of pink yet introduced. The E. G. Hill Co. sent a vase of their rose, Rhea Riede, which scored ninety points. It had splendid red foliage, stem and bud being nearly per- fect. They also had a vase of seedling carnations, some showing extra merit. Stuart & Haugh showed some vases of nice Cardinal, Enchantress, Bounti- ful and Lawson carnations which re- ceived special mention. F. Harritt extended an invitation to the society to hold its picnic on his grounds, at Willowmere, some time in June, which, of course, was quickly accepted. Quite a number sat down to supper and a most enjoyable social time was had. Among the members from out of town were: F. Lemon and Charles Knopf, Richmond; W. W. Coles, Koko- mo; J. E. A. Haugh, Anderson; Ira Clark, Greensburg and George Moore, Bushville. S. BOSTON, The Market The first half of January has been characterized by abnormally mild weather. Owing, however, to lack of sunshine the market has not been over- burdened with flowers, and prices, as a consequence, have held up fairly well. There has been no decided change in prices of either roses or carnations. Both are cleaning up well. Violets are sufficient for all needs. A slump in prices is likely at any time, from the dollar mark, which has been the ruling figure for good stock since the holidays. Bulbous stock comes more abundantly. Yellow daffodils sell well, realizing as much as $5 per hundred for the best. Le Reine is the leading tulip and is now arriving of good quality. Paper Whites and Romans are overplentiful. Some good freesia is seen. This real- izes good prices, the pure white variety being most favored. A better supply of Lilium Harrisii and callas is arriv- ing, but prices on these hold up well. Green stock remains about the same. Qub Meeting. The meeting on January 15 drew the largest attendance of any regular gath- ering in the club's history, about 300 ladies and gentlemen being present. The principal attraction was the stereopticon lecture on southern Europe by John K. M. L. Farquhar, The views of Italian gardens showed these to be very differ- ent from the "creations" by landscape arehitects in America, Much of horti- cultural interest was gleaned from this lecture, which was given for the first time and embraced the leading sights seen during Mr, Farquhar 's sojourn in Europe last summer. A pleasing addi- tional feature was a preliminary talk on club matters illustrated with lantern views of leading club oflicials, past and present. An enthusiastic vote of thanks was tendered the lecturer. President Wheeler welcomed the large audience in a few well chosen words. He expressed his grateful thanks to the secretary, treasurer and the members of the executive committee for the faith- ful and hard work during his tenure of office. The club members were also thanked for their kindness and staunch support in every effort he had made for their welfare. Whenever they had been asked to contribute anything it had been done most cheerfully and every com- mittee appointed had rendered loyal ser- vice. They had worked together with one object, viz., the uplifting and ad- vancement of their profession, and that they had accomplished something the present condition of the club speaks eloquently. He tendered special thanks to the reporters of the horticultural press for their liberal notices, which had done much to hold the interest of the members, and concluded amid warm applause by introducing T. H. West- wood, his successor, as one who had ever attended the meetings with regu- larity and worked in every possible way for the best interests of the club. Mr, Westwood received an enthusias- tic greeting on rising. In the course of his remarks he said the membership of the club had increased rapidly in the last three years. They hardly expect to grow quite so rapidly in numbers in the present year, as the various ele- ments were already largely represented in the club. They expect, however, to grow on other lines. The landscape classes are but the beginning in a small way along educational lines of greater things to come. The papers read at the regular meetings ought to be of first importance and efforts will be made to have the best speakers procurable on the several subjects to be handled dur- ing 1907. It should be the club's province to assist deserving members who may be out of positions. It would also add dignity to the club to enroll as honorary members some of the men of eminence in which Boston is rich, who have performed valiant service for the various branches of the profession. The secretary in his report stated that the club had made a net gain over all losses of 240 since January, 1905. He believes Boston should hold a member- ship of 400 in its club without trouble. He stated that he has received inquiries in regard to the landscape classes from as far away as Wisconsin and Colorado, showing the interest this branching out has caused. He believes a plan where- by certificates could be presented to those who had taken landscape courses would be of great benefit to them in later life. Treasurer Hatch in his annual report, presented in his own inimitable way, gave a timely talk on thrift. He was glad there is a balance of over $200 on the right side for 1906 and the club should make an effort to add a sub- stantial sum to its bank account each year. Seven new members were elected, Wm. Nicholson resigned from the exec- utive board, giving ill health as his reason. Mr. Downs was elected to the vacancy. Miss Gray furnished readings. There were several fine exhibits. Reports of merit were given to the following: Wm. Sim, for Violet Boston; R. & J. Farquhar & Co., for Begonia Lorraine superba, with very large flowers; Mr. Downs, for specimen plants of Lorraine; S. J. Goddard, for cyclamens. Peter Fisher received a report of superior merit for Carnation Beacon. An amendment to the constitution rel- ative to voting members, election of new members, reports of committees on ex- hibits, and other matters occupied some time. Refreshments were served and it was quite a late hour ere the meet- ing closed, Variouf Notes. The winter lecture course at Horti- cultural hall opened January 12 with an exhaustive and eminently practical talk on iris culture by J. Woodward Manning. The various species were il- lustrated by lantern-slide views, which made it the more interesting. Many questions were asked at the close of the lecture. The elaborate floral decorations at the ball given by Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Thomas, January, 11, at the Hotel Som- erset for the coming out of their daugh- ter were furnished by T. F. Galvin. An immense amount of material was used. The opening exhibition of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society will be held January 26. Carnations will be one of the principal features. The new schedules are now ready and may be obtained from W. P. Rich, the general superintendent at Horticultural hall. The annual banquet tendered to the employees of A. H. Hews & Co. was held January 12 in Odd Fellows' hall, North Cambridge. The Pierson U-Bar Co. has secured the contract for a splendid block of greenhouses for Senator N. W. Aldrich, Warwick, R. I., where F. C. Green is superintendent. W. W. Rawson will celebrate his six- tieth birthday January 23 with a ban- quet at the Hotel Vendome, The father of N. & M. Wax, the well- known florists, attained his seventy- seventh birthday January 13 and was well remembered by his sons on the occasion. J. R. Lasseman is handling some extra fine freesia this season. He has the honor of being first in the market with it. A good delegation to the carnation convention at Toronto seems probable at this time. It is to be hoped that a January blizzard will be escaped. W. N. CEAro, DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. The regular meeting of the Dobbs Ferry Horticultural Association was held in Odd Fellows' hall Saturday evening, January 12, Joseph Bradley in the chair. The exhibits of the evening were bunches of fifty double violets. H. Kartberg, gardener to the Misses Mas- ters, was awarded the first prize and H. Keeling, gardener to Mr. McComb, sec- ond. John Holgerson also staged some fine violets. Joseph Bradley, gardener to H. Sidenberg Hastings, staged some tomatoes, The Don, and was awarded a cilltural certificate. The exhibits for the next regular meeting are to be flowering pot plants in no more than 6-inch pots. The society received a letter from the Dobbs Ferry Hospital Association thanking them very kindly for the amount they had received from that so- ciety. J. B. Chattanooga, Tenn. — R. A. Stegall, who was formerly located in Texarkana, Ark., is now established in business in this place. He reports Christmas trade as excellent, but the continual cloudy weather caused a heavy loss on roses. 624 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 17, 1907. m is printed Wednesday evening and mailed early Thursday morning.

BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU. * Wk . — railrdad ticket, * * I want a certificate on account of the meeting of the American Carnation Society." Get the certificate anyway, no matter if you do not intend to use it to save yourself two -thirds the fare on the return journey. Get it to help save the other fellows' money. The reduced fare returning does not apply unless 100 certificates are turned over to the secretary. Last year at Boston, with an attendance of 200 to 300, there were only eighty-four certificates, so many had failed to ask for them, and it was late ^hen it was discovered. The difliculty •was remedied by telephoning to a florist out aways, who brought sixteen employees and friends to town on the last train. It saved the day, but it was a close call. THE READERS' CORNER. Lorraine at Christmas. In the Review of January 10 I note that your Kansas City correspondent very truthfully states that ' ' flowering plants took the lead" at Christmas, but he makes an error when he says that Begonia Gloire de Lorraine is not a good seller or a popular plant. If the correspondent had spent a short time at 1017 Broadway (the store of Sam Mur- ray), where Lorraine is handled, he would not think it had a dark future. . Walter Berminqham.- [What the correspondent actually said was : ' * Begonia Gloire de Lorraine is all right, but don't last long enough after being taken from the greenhouse and will never be the leading plant for Christmas." Mr. Bermingham, who is Mr. Murray's foreman, has had excep- tional success in growing Lorraine, as Review readers have reason to know because of the several photographs of his plants reproduced in its columns in the last couple of years, and there is no doubt they sell, but that there is any- thing in the enduring qualities of the plant to recommend it to customers we have not yet heard; in fact, we be- lieve the best most retailers are willing to say for Lorraine is that it will keep at least as long as holiday cut flowers. — Ed.] Mice Eating Swainsona. I read in a recent issue of the Re- view about someone who was having trouble because an unknown pest was eating swainsona. I had the same trouble a while ago, but I invested in a couple of mouse traps and soon saw what it was caused the damage. After I had caught six or eight mice that I had not known were in the green- houses I had no further trouble. George Allard. An English View. I send my cheque for renewal of sub- scription to the Review and am glad to say I have found it a most useful trade paper; we have nothing like it on this side of the "herring pond." The amount of information given weekly i» invaluable to all growers and retailers. The cultural hints are fine. You will be interested to hear how great is the progress the American carnation is mak- ing in Great Britain. It has been adopted unanimously by the whole of the trade, Jersey and Guernsey grow- ers especially laying themselves out to cater to the rapidly growing demand for cut blooms and plants. We now get a regular supply of fine blooms as much as four inches across on strong stems eighteen to twenty- four inches long. They are grown in pots and also on the American system of plant- ing in benches, chiefly straight from the small pots to the benches, as the sea- son is too short here for field planting and lifting. Our growers are now rais- ing some fine seedlings and Smith's Brittania is worth the attention of American growers. It is a scarlet, su- perior to Victory or Robert Craig, fine as they are. Also Mrs. H. Burnett is a pink salmon you will hear of, a most pleasing color and different from every- thing now grown. Alva J. Hall. Harrogate. January 17, 1907.

The Great Central Market Business took a brace the latter part of last week and there was quite a cheer- ful tone in the market, but this week has seen a relapse. It is all blamed to the weather. It has been decidedly de- pressing and it seems that the whole town is ill with a cold. The local de- mand is confined almost entirely to stock for funeral purposes. It keeps white stuff cleaned up closely and, indeed, about the only surplus at the present time is in Lawson carnations. The long-continued dark weather has reduced the crops of Beauty, but at the same time quality and demand have gone down so that prices are lower than at any time since Christmas. Short Beau- ties especially are poor. Good Brides and Maids are in strong request and holding up in price. The call for short stuff for funeral purposes has given the low grade roses unusual value and prac- tically everything in the rose line cleans out quickly. Carnations were in the dumps last week, sales averaging lower prices than at any time in months, but this week increased demand is resulting in better averages, although prices on fancy have been reduced in the price lists. There is considerable complaint of the soft- ness of the flowers. They are in sore need of a few days of bright, cold weather. There was a tremendous slump in vio- lets last week. Eeceipts were not large, but the only outlet for the bulk of the stock was through the Greeks. This week they are doing a little better, Monday's demand serving to clean up the market for the first time in several days. There are increased supplies of Harrisii and callas, but Paper Whites and Romans are in lighter supply. All these sell well because of the demand for funeral work. Not many tulips are in, nor are there enough jonquils to go around. The sup- plies in this line will increase with great rapidity in the next few days. There is much complaint at the quality of ferns, both those now coming from Massachusetts and those from cold stor- age. Green goods are not in heavy sup- ply, nor are they in great demand. Many funeral wreaths are being made of box- wood and leucothoe and these two items move well. T.l Qub Meeting. There was a good attendance, and two boxes of cigars, at the Florists' Club January 10, when President H. N. Bruns called to order promptly at 8 p. m. All the new officers were present. It gives promise of being a most punctual and efficient staff. P. C. Schupp is record- ing secretary and E. C. Amling financial secretary. President Bruns announced l^s com- mittees, as follows: Good of the club — J. F. Klimmer, Leonard Kill, H. B. How- ard; transportation — P. J. Hauswirt^ George Asmus, W. N. Ru^d; sports^ ; John Degnan, Charles Balluff . . ' • , John Evart and Joseph Marks werp elected to membership and A. T. Pyfer, H. Cheesraan and H. Manheim were pror , posed. For the committee on good of the club J. F. Klimmer suggested that the club's annual carnation show is due in Feb- ruary and it was decided to have the ex- hibition on the regular meeting night, February 14, opening at 7 p. m. E. F. Winterson, P. C. Schupp and Leonard Kill were appointed to take charge of the show and were instructed to invite all local growers to stage their best and all raisers of novelties to send exhibits. Mr. Klimmer also suggested that section fore- men for all the local growers be urged to put in writing, briefly, their views as to the merits and faults of the varieties they now are growing. It was consid- ered a fine idea and adopted. George Asmus brought up the matter of the date of the election and Leonard Kill moved the date be changed. It requires an amendment in the by-laws and a resolution placing the election in January was laia over under the rules. The trustees were authorized to renew the lease on the present club room, two nights a month, ta May, 1908, if no bet- ter arrangement can be made. The room is used only one night a month. Professor Hasselbring, secretary of the Illinois State Florists' Association, called attention to the convention at Bloomington next month. J. Hamlin, of Geneva, 111., was given a vote of thanks for an exhibit of hot- house tomatoes. Adjournment was at 9:30. The Season's Biggest Range. While George Reinberg has not as yet announced his plans for building this season, it is reported that he is placing orders for material for eight houses, each 27x300. This is covering a ground area of 65,000 square feet, or approx- imately an acre and a half.

RANDALL CO 19-21 Randolph St., CHICAGO Mention The Review when you write. builders say this is likely to be the larg- est range erected for the Chicago market this season, though one of the privileges as inalienable as the right to change prices without notice is any big grower's right to reconsider his decision expressed in, "I guess I'll take a rest, and not build this year." Consequently other announcements are likely at any time. Grafted Roses. Growers for the Chicago market more and more are resorting to the grafting of their Brides and Maids, a practice which heretofore has been much more common among the leading growers in the big eastern centers. Bassett & Wash- burn were leaders in the use of grafted stock, but others have been making tests of results which have satisfied them that the extra trouble of preparing young stock is worth while. J. A. Budlong grafted a large part of the stock benched this season, and so did George Reinberg. Both are satisfied. Peter Reinberg has been grafting a few thousand of Brides, Maids, Liberty, etc., each season for several years and is so well pleased that now he has 60,000 Manetti stocks potted for use in the next few weeks. Various Notes. The Chicago delegation to Toronto will travel via the Wabash and Canadian Pacific, leaving here at 3 p. m. Tuesday. The train reaches Detroit, where it will pick up the delegation from that city at 10:40 Tuesday evening, arriving at Toronto at 7:15 a. m. The florists will have a special car. The route is a fare and a third on the certificate plan. Berths will be reserved on application to P. J. Hauswirth or George Asmus. Eight or ten, at least, will go. P. J. Hauswirth has returned from his trip to New York and Boston. He will have some interesting reports to make at the next club meeting. Bassett & Washburn will exhibit their seedling carnation, No. 20, at the To- ronto conventioB. E. H. Hunt reports sending consider- able quantities of the Carlson aster seed to states as distant as Massachusetts. John Sterrett is now with Zech & Mann, succeeding Mons Olson. C. W. McKellar reports an excellent demand for gardenias. The stock is much improved in quality since Christ- mas, the stems being twice as long. The trade will be pleased to learn that Andrew McAdams is much improved in health. The box manufacturers have advanced the prices of such shipping cases aa flo- rists use about fifteen per cent. Fred Sperry, of Vaughan & Sperry, re- ports that last Sunday a sneak-thief stole the chicken prepared for the family's Sunday dinner. A. J. Greaves, of Bloomington, waa one of the week's visitors. The Bloom- ington people are anticipating a good at- tendance at the annual meeting of the State Florists' Association next month. J. H. Grohosky, who was with E. H. Hunt during the holiday rush, is now with Henry Koropp. Robert Schenck, who has been located at Pittsburg and Youngstown for the last two or three years, is again in Chi- cago. Poehlmann Bros. Co. is cutting fine rubrum lilies from cold storage bulbs. They are quite a novelty in this market at this season. Henry Payne, the Hinsdale grower, is also an expert amateur photographer. The adjourned meeting of the Horti- cultural Society of Chicago was held at the Auditorium Annex yesterday after- noon. Wietor Bros, have a number of excel- lent seedling carnations. A red is par- ticularly good and will be planted in con- siderable quantity next season. If it lives up to its present promise it may be dis- tributed. There also is a pink, a trifle darker than Lawson, which may find its way on the market. The employees of the Wienhoeber Co. announce their first informal reception at the Svithiod club house, 1768 Wright- wood avenue, Wednesday evening, Janu- ary 30. The committee consists of V. Bergman, W. W. Adams, D. A. Robert- son and F. Pisternick. Goldsmith's or- chestra has been engaged. The Poehlmann Bros. Co. has named its deeper pink sport of Chatenay, call- ing it Morton Grove, and will dissemi- nate it in 1908. It won the silver cup for best rose never before exhibited, at the last Chicago show. The Poehlmann Co. has a number of other new sorts that are well thought of. A big crop of roses which has been held back by sunless skies promises to make the latter half of January show up well for Sinner Bros. W. L. Kroesch^ll and Charles Kroe- schell were among the employers at the labor conference at the residence of Mrs. Potter Palmer last Saturday evening. The A. L. Randall Co. is expecting yellow tulips and white lilac every day Januaby 17, 1907.

The Market Trade during the last week has been quite up to the average, and Toronto florists are quite willing to take it easy after the rushing business that was done at Christmas. This year the re- tail men were up against a hard propo- sition at Christmas in delivering plants, which, it might be remarked, sold ex- tremely well this season. Some of our retail men say that they have had quite a few to replace; but frqm the volume of business they are not complaining about having to make good a few plants, especially as the price they obtained left a good margin. Convention Preparations. At present the Toronto florists are talking and working for the coming con- vention of the American Carnation So- ciety, which is to be held here January 23 and 24. The exhibition and conven- tion will be held in the City hall, and all arrangements have been completed with the customs department to allow all goods bearing tags and labels, fur- nished by Secretary Herr, to be deliv- ered to the City hall immediately, with- out going through the usual channels of red tape the customs require. This is a very important item, as exhibits can now be rushed from the station direct to the exhibition hall. Arrangements have been made with the express com- pany to have wagons waiting for the trains. It looks as if nothing had been left undone to insure the speedy deliv- ery of exhibits from the United States. The reception and banquet commit- tees have been busy completing arrange- raiVERY now and then a well »SI pleased reader speaks the word which is the means of bringing a new advertiser to p OASIS' Such friendly assistance is thoroughly appreciated.

FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. 520-40 Caxton BIdg. Chicago ments for entertaining the visiting dele- gates, and it is the intention to hold a large banquet on the night of January 24, at the King Edward's hotel. The ladies are invited. The enthusiasm displayed by the Ca- nadian florists, and especially the To- ronto men, is quite marked, and Mr. Dunlop, the president, is receiving the hearty cooperation of all connected with the trade, to make the Toronto conven- tion one of the best, if not the best, in the history of the association. The Canadian florists feel that it is quite an honor to have the American asso- ciation come to Toronto, and it is up to them to make the convention a suc- cess, and, if present indications can be taken as any guide, it will not be for lack of enthusiasm of the Canadian trade if it is not a success. Members should not forget to get a certificate from the station agent when they purchase tickets, so as to get the one-third fare return. Purchase a first- class single trip ticket to Toronto and ask for a certificate, not a receipt. BALTIMORE. TheMavket Business last week was no more than could be expected. The weather condi- tions hampered it somewhat and the en- tire week was disagreeable and not much sunshine. Blooms of all kinds were short, but enough to supply the demand and commanded fairly good prices. A large amount of funeral work was disposed of. Considering the cloudy weather carna- tions are doing well, yet there are thou- sands of healthy buds waiting for the sunshine, when the usual supply will again be on the market. Violets are again plentiful and bringing their regu- lar price. Boses are scarce, due to the want of bright, clear weather. Paper jANUABr 17, 1907.

White narcissi and Romans are plentiful and bring good prices. Lilies of the val- ley are extra fine; freesias are drifting in slowly. Calla lilies will be short this year. Greens of all kinds are enough to meet the demands. Decorative plants of all kinds are easily disposed of as there is an unusual demand at this time of the year. Qub Meeting. The regular meeting of the Garden- ers' and Florists' Club was held Janu- ary 14 in the new hall over the new Baltimore Florists' Exchange building, with President W. G. Lehr in the chair. W. Kennedy and C. Seigwart were elected to membership. C. Feast, Adam Roop and J. .T. Cummings were proposed for membership. After adjournment the members marched down stairs into the large salesroom of the exchange and a banquet followed. About seventy-five plates were awaiting the guests. R. M. Kemp was presented with a pair of gold link cuff buttons. R. L. Graham made the presentation speech, after which Mr. Kemp responded. There was also a smoker given by the club. The first meeting in February will be ladies night. Refreshments will be served. Vartoub Notes. The annual meeting of the board of directors of the Baltimore Florists' Ex- change was held in the new building Monday, January 14. The following were elected: President, E. A. Seide- witz; vice-president, F. C. Bauer; secre- tary, E. Akehurst; treasurer, W. Letr; directors, I. H. Moss, E. A. Rider and William Feast. J. J. Cummings, manager for St. Mary 's Industrial School greenhouses, has erected a fine new office in one of the houses. A. Stoll, Carroll, Md., is disposing of a large amount of funeral designs. E. Holden has 2,300 Boston Market lettuce plants coming on. B. Stoll, of Brooklyn, is erecting a new house, 20x50, for vegetable plants. W^ Teipe, gardener for Nathaniel James, is cutting some fine Enchantress carnations. Fred Reitz, Franklintown, was in town looking for a second-hand boiler. J. L. T. CLEVELAND. On January 28 the Cleveland Florists' Exchange will open a wholesale commis- sion house and growers' market with one of the finest equipped stores of the kind in the country, at 606 Huron road. Besides representing the growers of this locality they will carry a full line of florists' supplies. George W. Smith, who the past summer disposed of his growing and retail business, will have full charge of this new venture, which should be a decided success.

Roses are scarce and it was next to impossible to get select, home-grown stock. The most of the roses that are brought in can only be termed as good medium stock. Killarney is off crop and Bridesmaid is about the best on the market in pink roses. Bride is about equal to the demand, also Richmond. Some very fine Beauties are carried by the larger concerns and retail at $10 per dozen. Carnations are good, especially Enchantress and Craig. It is noticeable that a large number are split. Miscel- laneous stock, such as Paper Whites, Romans, etc., is plentiful. A small number of tulips are on the market, but only one dealer seems to be able to handle them profitably. Some nice white lilac is offered at a stiff price. St. Paul. The Ramaley Floral Co. intends sell- ing out, with the object of entering the business in a wholesale way. There is no doubt but that the growers would like to have a place to bring their stock to; it would save them considerable time and would, at the same time, be a great help to the retailers. The base- ment of their present location could not be improved upon for the above pur- pose, it being centrally located. Adolph Bagdahl, formerly with the Fleishman Floral Co., New York, and later with the Wheeling Greenhouse Co., of Wheeling W. Va., is now doing the designing for L. L. May & Co. Owing to the heavy increase in trade this firm found it necessary to add to the force. His initial design was a 24-inch violet pillow, which was made of solid violets with a loose effect and which was favorably commented on. J. W. Hoff- man, who has charge of the retail de- partment, says that city trade is excep- tionally heavy. H. E. Philpott, manager of the Chi- cago Floral Co., Winnipeg, spent a day in St. Paul on his return from the south and east. He reports business good in Winnipeg, but a hard place to supply good stock. The output of home-grown stock is light and the demand heavy. August S. Swanson is cutting some nice white lilac. The demand for it is good and it brings a good price. For rarities it is hard to beat Mr. Swanson. Chris Buss jaeger continues to make improvements in his plant, the last be- ing an alarm system, which works well and has so far proved satisfactory. A number of growers have of late in- stalled recording thermometers and ther- mostats. Minneapolis. Rice Bros, report a good business. Of late they have had some very good stock, especially in roses, and undoubtedly helped the retailers out to a large ex- tent. Donaldson's have been turning out a great many designs of late. People are not only buying cut flowers at the de- partment stores, but are also ordering funeral designs. Geo. Murtfeldt reports trade as be- ing fair, but reports diflSculty in get- ting good stock. Felix. Kenosha, Wis.— W. H. Drake has taken his son-in-law into partnership and the firm name now is W. H. Drake & Co. Another house will be added in the spring. The Review is everything one could desire. One would think it could not possibly be improved, still it does seem better every year. — Thos. Wagstait, Lake Forest, 111.

Business is good and all stoek re- mains well cleaned up excepting some poorer grades of violets. All grades of roses move rapidly. Pink stock is quite scarce. Prices range from $5 to $14 per hundred. Many orchids are being used in funeral work. Carnations are arriving in fairly large quantities, but remain well cleaned up. About one-third of the carnations are Enchantress, and these are mostly of excellent quality and sell readily. Many Paper White nar- cissi are used.

For my own business, I am safe in saying it has been double that of the preceding year. A large part of this has been in cut flowers. The in- crease pertains to both city and ship- ping. Good as the trade has been, it promises to be considerably better for the next year. Dallas is the center for the flower trade. Such has been the de- mand for flowers that we have enlarged our plant to a great extent during the season and shall have to make even more provision. At certain times the pur- chases of flowers I have had to make from other dealers in and out of the city have gone as high as $400 and $500 a month. Eventually we shall hope to pro- duce all of the needed flowers at home. The importations now are largely special orders. I estimate my business at not less than $1,000 a month. There has been a great increase in late years for shrubbery and trees. This means that people are paying great attention to landscape gardening, ' ' W. P. Hiegert : ' ' My trade is largely in the city and it has increased at least twenty-five per cent in the last year. The increase in trade has been all around, applying to both the cut flowers and to the plant trade. So great has been the demand that I liave had to acquire additional land for the expan- sion of the greenhouses.

SMILAX. A few years ago we rarely saw smilax well done in England, but in America it has been one of the most popular foliage subjects for many years, says a writer in the Horticultural Advertiser; and now we get it well-grown in England, and it has almost entirely superseded the climbing fern, Lygodium Japonicum, or scandens as it was known. The fern is more elegant when quite fresh, but the smilax lasts much better. I have visited several nurseries where it is now extensively grown, and I find the growers find no difficulty in doing it well. The chief point is to give it plenty of rootroom with loose, rough soil consisting chiefly of leaf-mold and stable manure that has been laid up for some time. There is nothing better than old hotbed manure. Most growers use long, rather narrow boxes, and run the strings up to the roof, giving sufficient room between each two rows of boxes to get through for keeping it in order and for cutting. Planted in cold ground it does no good, but kept above the sur- face in light compost as described above, it will grow freely. Bed spider is its chief enemy among insect pests, but as the syringe or hose may be used freely, this can always be kept in check. There is a great advantage in growing sufficient to fill a house, or at least the center portion, so that it can have the moist humid treatment, and while in regard to water at the roots, stagnation is fatal, yet with good drainage there is not much risk of over-watering. I find there is some confusion in regard to the proper name. The most generally accepted name is Myrsophyllum aspara- goides, but it is also known as Mediola asparagoides. The seed is procurable from the Continent, and after being soaked in water for a short time germi- nates freely. Vegetable Forcing. Please send the Eeview the names of those in your vicinity who grow vege- tables under glass. One of the effects of the dark weather in November and December has been that vegetable crops have not progressed as usual. Chicago growers say radishes, for instance, are taking nearly double the usual time to mature. The object of the Massachusetts Asparagus Growers' Association is the restoration of asparagus, to its immunity from rust, or the discovery of a species that shall be rust-resistant, and the dis- semination of information in relation to its growing and marketing.

TOMATOES. What is the best tomato for early spring forcing and what is the best time to sow the seed for fruit, say, March 151 How far apart should plants be to give best results? How much fruit would be a fair estimate per plant? T. C. G. Both Sterling Castle and Lorillard are good varieties, easy doers and reliable setters. Sowing seed now you would not be able to get fruit by March 15. You can't count on getting fruit in less than three months and, even then, your plants won't be in full bearing. The best thing for you to do now, to insure get- ting fruit for that time, is to procure the plants already started. You will see several firms advertising them, at a small cost, in the Review. Set the plants four- teen inches apart to give best results. Some allow only twelve inches, but this is rather crowding. Five to six pounds per plant is a fair average, though a plant can be made to produce more than this. W. S. Croydon. WINTER BEAUTY TOMATO. At the January meeting of the Chi- cago Florists' Club J.

I was gathering early in Janu- ary 200 pounds per week from 200 plants and they are thick with fruit, averaging five pounds to the plant, and still setting well. They had brought 35 cents a pound in the Chicago market. I plant on a bench, with roots confined in a space eighteen inches wide and twelve inches deep. The soil is good, with cow manure well worked in. I plant one foot apart and grow on a single stem. The plants will continue to bear for months and will average fifteen to eighteen pounds of fruit per plant. I use a span- roofed house running north and south. One row only is planted on each f'hIc, with Lilium Harrisii on one side under the tomatoes and Boston ferns on the other side. The variety is good only for winter work." FUNGUS ON LETTUCE. I herewith send you some diseased let- tuce plants. We find them in new soil as well as in the soil taken from the hotbed yard. Tue plants grow nicely for about two weeks, then get yellow and spotted and the roots look dead. Per- haps twenty feet in a bench will be all right; then there will be another batch of this. There is no trouble in the hot- beds or coldframes, oilly in the green- house. Sometimes the temperature gets down to 45 degrees at night, but it usu- ally is about 50 degrees. I ventilate whenever possible and use cistern water. [ have used air-slaked lime in the soil, also powdered Bordeaux mixture for dusting the house. There is as yet no difference. H. S. Your trouble is a fungus disease, the spores of which have got into your bench, probably through the agency of some decayed vegetable matter. The disease will begin in one spot and spread over JANUABT 17, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review* 639 the bench from that point. It is a hard thing to check, once it gets a start. The only thing to do is to pull up the plants as soon as you see the first appearance of the disease and stir up the soil around where the plants were, to break up the mycelium and help stop the spread of tbe fungus. Lower your temperature at least 5 degrees, as 45 degrees is quite high enough for lettuce and an occasional drop to 40 degrees won't do your plants any harm. I have often seen a drop of tem- perature check the spread of certain fungus diseases very effectively when other remedies had failed. Fungus diseases seem to be becoming more and more prevalent year after year and the only cert&in remedy is to steril- ize the soil. Tnis insures the destruction of all spores of fungi in the soil and, if care is used not to introduce any such spores through the medium of manure or other material, the crop ought to carry through without any trouble. But it must be borne in mind that any decayed or decaying vegetable matter will produce fungi, even if the soil has been sterilized, so that extreme care should be used to remove carefully any yellow or partially decaying leaves that appear on the plants; and if it is intended to plant a second crop after the first has been cut in the same soil care should be taken to pull up the stems of the lettuce when the heads are cut, so that they will not be left to decay. I don't mean to imply that this ap- plies to your case; but in going through houses used for lettuce forcing I have often seen not only the stems of the let- tuce left in the soil, but the bad leaves pulled from the lettuce and left on top of the soil to rot. Then, when the next erop was attacked by some fungus disease the grower could not understand how it came to be there, seeing that the first crop had done so well. Such careless- ness is inexcusable and can only result in trouble, as I have said here before. It is the man who is particular about these little details who is surest of suc- cess and, considering the increasing prev- alence of fungus diseases, too much vigi- lance cannot be used in preventing its introduction or spread. W. S. Croydon. AT GRAND RAPIDS. In gardening under glass Grand Rapids has forged to the front with such strides that the lettuce industry has grown to a point where it is one of the city's principal outputs and there is in and about Grand Bapids and contributing to the Grand Bapids market almost $750,- 000 invested in greenhouses for the forc- ing and out-of-season growing of let- tuce, radishes, cucumbers and parsley. It is conservatively estimated that Grand Bapids this year will ship to the south- em and western markets more than 500,- 000 pounds of the best head lettuce ever grown under glass. This city has but one competitor in the field. Toledo, Ohio, is a bidder for supremacy in the forcing lettuce market, but Grand Bapids has always been able to hold its own. Ashtabula, Ohio, is the other of the big three middle western forcing lettuce producers, but that city handles the eastern trade, a section that Grand Bapids only caters to when the Ashtabula product is exhausted. In the vegetable greenhouse business, too, the city is attracting attention along new lines. Local growers have experi- mented extensively with greenhouse to- matoes.

In his Burton ave- nue greenhouses everything looks favor- able and Mr. Perry is himself optimis- tic. If the crop succeeds it will prove remunerative. Edward Taylor and Eli Cross have tried the tomato business in previous years with more or less indif- ferent success. In and near Grand Rapids there are about seventy greenhouse gardeners who contribute forcing lettuce and the subse- quent underglass vegetable crops to the Grand Rapids market. Lettuce is the principal industry. When the final let- tuce crop is off, the hoases are planted to radishes, and in turn to cucumbers, before summer. These secondary vege- tables add much to the profit of the busi- ness. More than 50,000 bushels of cu- cumbers were last spring marketed here, and the radish crop no one seems able to even estimate. Parsley is also an exten- sive secondary crop in local greenhouses. TROUBLE WITH LETTUCE. We are having trouble with our let- tuce. The main or tap-root decays and the plant dies. .

We have had lil- tle sunshine; otherwise the treatment has been the same as last spring, when we grew the finest of lettuce. Can you give us any help? S. A. C. Your trouble is stem-rot, a disease which is often prevalent in lettuce houses in winter. It is the work of fungus which has got into your soil in some way. The answer given to H. 8. in this issue will apply to your case. Dull, cloudy weather is most congenial to the development and spread of the disease. As the weather becomes brighter and warmer you will probably have less trouble with it. W. S. Croydon. Haverhill, jNIass. — Perley R. FoUett will build a new greenhouse in the spring.

TERMS IN THE SEED TRADE. Lester L. Morse, president of C. C. Morse & Co., San Francisco, makes the following statement under date of Jan- uary 11 : "C. C. Morse & Co. announce that, in common with the other seed growers in California, they have agreed to change the terms of payment on contracts which have heretofore ruled in the seed busi- ness, making them sixty days, or 2 per cent discount for cash. This action they claim is made necessary on account of general business conditions on the Pacific coast, where there is almost a famine of labor and where nearly everything the grower buys to conduct his farm is bought on a spot cash basis. They claim they are only asking that the seed deal- ers share a small part of their burdens by consenting to these reasonable busi- ness terms. "They state that their action in not sending a representative among the trade this year and in not wishing to book advance contracts against their onion crop was not influenced in any way, shape or manner by the attitude or ac- tion of any other grower or any other seedsman and was decided upon on ac- count of the general conditions only. Ex- cepting in the matter of terms they state positively that they have no understand- ings or arrangements with any other grower or growers and they are in no combinations. Any statement to the con- trary is wholly without foundation." SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. Executive Q>mtnittee Meetios;.

The seedsmen made some suggestions that will no doubt aid the Department materially in protecting the public against the two or three unscrupulous dealers who have brought the whole seed trade into dis- repute and brought suspicion on all of us.

There is no department of a seeds- man's business more profitable than the flower seed department, and there is nothing more profitable in that depart- ment than sweet peas. It is, therefore, not surprising, says a seedsman writing in the Horticultural Advertiser, that every seedsman worthy the name aims at being somewhat of a sweet pea spe- cialist. The real way to acquire an ac- quaintance with the many varieties now before the public is of course to grow them, but this is impossible in many in- stances, and we have men in the trade doing well in sweet peas, and who have a good reputation for them, who never grow a flower. How, it may be asked, ^lo they acquire the requisite knowledge? By observation and reading. If one takes the Sweet Pea Annual as a guide, and fixes on the varieties that come out on top of the audit and election, one may be assured they are not far removed from the best in their respective color classes. The next thing of importance is to find out where reliable stocks of the varieties in question can be obtained, and this in the future, more than in the past, is going to make up success. When everybody is keen on sweet peas, the men whose stocks are truest are going to have the best of it, and rightly so.

A complete report will be made by the committee on seed adulteration of the American Seed Trade Association in due time and it will make very interest- ing reading. SWEET PEAS. There is no department of a seetls- tnan 's business more profitable than the tiower seed department, and there is nothing more profitable in that dcj)art- ment than sweet peas. It is, tiierefore, not surprising, stiys a seedsman writing iti tile Horticultural Advertiser, that ' very seedsman worthy the name aims it being somewhat of a sweet pea sjie- ' ialist. The real way to acijiiire an ac- luaintance with the many varieties now before the public is of course to grow 'hem, but tliis is impossible in many in- tances, and we have men in the trade loing well in sweet peas, and who have ' good reputation for them, who never ;row a Hower. How, it iiuty be asked, io they acquire the requisite knowleilge.' 'y observation and reading. Jt one ■ ikes the Sweet Pea Annu.al as a guide, lid fixes on the varieties that come out II top of the audit and election, one may le assured they are not far removed ' rom the best in their respective color lasses. The next thing of inijiortance ■^ to find out where reliable stocks of he varieties in question can be obtained, ind this in the future, more than in the :'ast, is going to make up success. When very])ody is keen on sweet peas, the men ^^hose stocks are truest are going to iiave the best of it, and rightly so.

Address No. 16, care Florists' Review, Chicagr. Pea Society ia appointing a floral com- mittee is a step in the right direction. Twelve experts have been appointed, who will visit the society's trials at Reading, which are to be again conducted by Mr. C. I'oster, at tlie University College Gar- dens. No variety will receive a first- class certificate unless the stock grown at Reading is fairly true. Those who saw the trials last year know that many stocks of much vaunted novelties instead of being true more resembled trials of mixtures. It is proposed that this new committee shall vote on new varieties by some form of ballot. Principals of sweet pea firms are not allowed to be members of the committee, but their expert grow- ers are, and the committee is formed of one-half trade add one-half amateur growers. Another important work this commit- tee should take up is dealing with too much alike varieties, and members of the trade who are members of the Sweet Pea Society should press the society to do this for all they are worth. The Spencer group will be the cause of endless trou- ble in the near future, if the varieties of it are not dealt with by the Sweet Pea Society with a firm hand. In fact the Sweet' Pea Society will only justify its continued existence if it does so. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

The third annual dinner of the Mon- tnouth County Horticultural Society was held at the Sheridan hotel, Thurs- day evening, January 10. About sixty members and invited guests sat down to a bountiful supply of good, things. The tables were tastefully decorated with plants and flowers supplied by the mem- bers. All passed a pleasant evening. Regrets were expressed as to the ab- sence of one of our members — yes, and the father of this society; but I know if he was not there in person his heart was with us. I refer to Nicholas But- terbach, who because of serious illness could not be present. laorris county was represented by Mr. Herrington, C. H. Totty and R. M. Shultz.

The voice of the happy singing florist, Peter Xees, who has been such a promi- nent figure on our streets for many years, has been missed for some time, and it is with feelings of sorrow that we learn that the good man is seriously ill at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Walter Doughtly, on Cedar street. Report says he is partially paralyzed and that the attending physician has little to give in the way of encouragement. Mr. Nees is 84 years old and has always enjoyed good health and in this hour of trial in the evening of his life he has the sympathy of every Burlington resident. We have received orders from Pennsyl- vania on the east to Washington on the Pacific coast from our advertisement in the Review. — W. C.

The best business ever experienced seems to be the general report in regard to the Christmas trade, carnations and roses selling readily at any price asked. Violets were in great demand and the supply so small that at the approach of a violet customer one found himself long- ing for Bhinebeck. Palms, ferns, and the rather limited supply of plants suit- able for gifts handled in this great northwest, all were disposed of by Christmas eve, while holly, mistletoe, roping, Oregon grape and wreaths were called for until late on Christmas day. All the retailers succeeded in having good window displays and are to be con- gratulated upon results obtained in this respect. Recent visitors were, L. C. Goodfriend, of Werthheimer Bros,, New York, and J. J. Karins, of Henry A. Dreer Co., Philadelphia. The latter gentleman testi- fies to the prosperity of this great section by a well-filled order book and is wearing his most congenial smile in consequence. Kennedy. VICTORIA, B. C. The Christmas Market. Christmas trade was a record breaker. A few Paper Whites and a few mums we^e all that were left over. Carnations were cleaned out at $1.50 per dozen, a price never before obtained in this town. Princess of Wales violets sold at 75 cents per bunch of twenty-five. Sweet peas at 50 cents per dozen. Mums were cheap, $2 per dozen being the limit. Holly was short. A strong local demand and large export orders caused a rise in price. Various Notes. Fairview greenhouses showed some handsome baskets of plants, all of which were sold. Mrs. M. A. Flewin has just completed a handsome conservatory, abutting on Park road, which is a great improvement to the property. Real estate is advancing rapidly in value. There is quite a boom, in fact, and it is reported that several who have built greenhouses as rented or leased land will shortly be moving further out. H. Dunn has remodeled his heating system. E. A.

The supply of flowers, owing to the continued dark weather, has been short; still, this supply has been suflScient to meet de- mands. Violets since the season opened have been scarce, but now that we have an abundance of moisture they are becoming plentiful and prices will probably lower in a day or two. Roses, outside of Brides and Maids, seem to be off crop everywheie and fancy Beauties still bring top prices. Valley is easier and of slow sale. Several of our large grow- ers did not get their anticipated cuts in time for the holidays and are throwing them on the crowded market now. Carnations are a trifle lower in price and are of good quality and fair quan- tity. There is some demand for fancy whites, but other colors move slowly. Chrysanthemums, strange to relate, are still in considerable evidence and come in very handy for funeral orders. Daf- fodils, of the Ard Reigh variety, are seen everywhere. Roman hyacinths and narcissi are being used largely for fu- neral orders, being about the only thing worth mentioning at this writing. Various Notes. Hutchings & James will be in line again with a heavy stock of poinsettias for the coming season. This firm has had remarkable success since starting its new greenhouses at Elmhurst and making a specialty of this popular plant. The city of Oakland will give a three- days' floral fiesta, commencing May 1. Many prizes will be given for decorations of various kinds. James Niven, the well-known landscape gardener of Ross station, is exhibiting some prize fowls at the California poul- try show at Idora Park this week. An election to bond the city of Oak- land to purchase over 100 acres to add to the city parks will shortly be held in that town. Local trade with the retail nurserymen has been slow this year. Continued rainy weather has greatly interfered with the planting of small stock. L. M. Bowen, the Berkeley landscape gardener, has returned from a week's trip to Los Angeles and vicinity. The Cox Seed Co. has completed a new seed warehouse on its grounds at Glen Echo. It has removed its principal stock of seed to this place, having much more room for handling than in its San Francisco warehouse. G.

The demand for nursery stock has never been better than it is at the pres- ent time on the Pacific coast. This in- cludes all the country from San Diego on the south to Seattle on the north and from the coast well into the interior. In spite of the setback that the central portion of the coast received by the re- cent earthquake and fire, there has never been a time in which there was so much business being done or with better pros- pects for its continuance. Naturally this has affected the nursery business as well as other lines, and we are now in the midst of the excitement. The heavy demands for dried fruits and the money recently made by both the growers and packers of raisins has put these industries in a most flourish- ing condition. Many thousands of acres will be and are being at present planted and enormous tracts of land opened up to colonization. The farmers are mak- ing money. There is good sale for all products and, although the first effects of the demands for fruit and nut trees and grapevines are enjoyed by the deal- ers in fruit trees, there always follows a secondary demand for ornamental stock from the general nurseryman. These conditions are noticeable in the towns and cities as well as in the coun- try districts, and, although the sales of stock are of a much different nature, they have been heavy since the season opened. From observations of the quantity of goods on hand, throughout the coast, it is evident that there is not sufl5cient stock to fill the present demands and much eastern grown material is being shipped in. In the line of fruit trees there is an extraordinary demand for IF^ JANUAEY 17, 1907.

There is a steady demand along all lines of fruit and the quantities planted will be the largest in our history. The natural sequence of good times is the free spending of money and usually when the first growers finish their orch- ard or vineyard planting they spend a few dollars for ornamental trees or plants. There are not over a dozen large orna- mental nurseries on the Pacific coast. This may sound strange, but it is never- theless a fact. There are, however, many small places doing a local business, but the really large commercial places can be limited to a dozen. This is not in- clusive of fruit tree growers, who prob- ably will reach the number of fifty, all of them of large size. California, and the coast generally, is not well supplied with ornamental grow- ers and there will be but little stock to hold over for the coming season, from present indications. G.

Business has been only fair and the prices have been held up on account of the fact that there has been only enough stock coming in to fill the orders. The weather has been decidedly against the flower business. It has been warm, averaging about 60 degrees most of the time and on one day it went as high as 70 degrees. This is something unusual, even in this climate. And rain, there is no let-up to it. I should say that five days in the last thirty during which the sun showed its face, even for a short time, would be really more than we had. With such conditions you can readily realize the condition of the greenhouses. Everything is soft and weak-stemmed. And there are no prospects for colder and more seasonable weather. A few weeks of cold, clear weather is what we need to give the business a push. With present conditions we can scarcely ex- pect to have things up to standard. At present there is a good supply of almost everything. There are plenty of roses and carnations of all varieties, also bulbous flowers, violets and all sorts of green goods. There are few orders which cannot be filled. The shipping trade has been unusually active and a great deal of the surplus flowers have been sent out of the city and at good prices. There can be no question but that the shipping business out of this city has been im- proving yearly and that there is a great future in it as soon as we are able to get a larger and better supply of flowers at all times. Having the best outlet to the south, it is but a matter of time when we will control the entire business of that section. Society Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the Cincinnati Florists' Society was held in the club rooms, January 12, and was well attended. Charles Knopf, of the B. K. & B. Floral Co., Richmond, Ind., was present and staged two seedling carna- tions. One, a white, named Miss Sarah A. Hill, was of extraordinary size and had all of the earmarks of a comer. The other was of the Lawson type and color, but a decided improvement on that va- riety. It was called Superior. They were staged for the society's certificate and were judged by F. Dellar, Gus Adrian and Henry Schwarz. This com- mittee awarded Miss Sarah A. Hill eighty-eight points and Superior eighty- seven. Mr. Knopf gave a little talk on his recent visit to Chicago, which was very interesting. The following gentlemen also gave short talks on various topics of general interest: Simon J. Hider, E. G. Gillett, Geo. Corbett, F. Dellar, Henry Schwarz, R. Witterstaetter and Gus Adrian. The subject of giving a flower show in this city next November was brought up and it was easily seen that the con- ditions were about ripe. There was a decided feeling in favor of giving a first-class show; one which will attract the attention of the largest growers and one that will be a credit to the city. It was voted to give the board of directors the power to draft a schedule of prizes, make an estimate of the amount of money needed, and otherwise go into this subject with the idea of finding out just what we could do and whether we would be safe to go ahead and give a good, big show. It has been over fifteen years since this city has had a first-class show. Max Rudolph has been on the sick list, but is able to be about now. C. J. Ohmer. 656 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 17, 1907. NURSERY NEWS. AHEBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBTHEN. Pres.. Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Vlce- Pres., J. W. Hill, Des Moines, la.; Sec'y, Geo. C. Seacer, Rochester; Treaa. C. L. Yates, Rochester. The 82d annual convention will be held at De- troit, Mich., June, 1»07. Evergreens are steadily gaining in favor. Nurserymen will be interested in the notes on the demand for nursery stock on the Pacific coast, to be found on another page of this issue. The movers of big trees are having plenty of work this winter and are getting good prices, more in keeping with the facilities required for this line of business. The Western Association of Nursery- men hopes to do something toward se- curing the adoption of some standard grades for nursery stock. A. L. Brooke, of Topeka, is chairman of a committee to make recommendations. The program and arrangement com- mittees already are at work on plans for the Detroit convention of the Amer- ican Association of Nurserymen. A good attendance is assured and interest will not be permitted to flag. If there is an agricultural publication which is not publishing a ' * spraying num- ber ' ' in February it should overcome its modesty and do something to attract our attention. But the more spraying the better for the nurserymen. J. Horace McFarland says this will be a lively year in the nursery trade, one in which the careless and slipshod man will come nearer making a living and in which the good, lively hustler, who grows good stock and offers it honestly and at- tractively, will make a good profit. Congressman N. W. Hale, of Knox- ville, Tenn., is a member of the legis- lative committee of the American Asso- ciation of Nurserymen. He says he sees no prospect of securing at this session of Congress a moment for the consider- ation of a national law for the inspec- tion of nursery stock. As an example of what happens when a man does a good job it is worth record- ing that a certain nurseryman land- scapist received a commission from one of a colony of well-to-do suburbanites. The work fitted the situation so well that nine of the neighbors had work done last fall and the remainder are indicat- ing a desire to flbt up their surroundings in the spring. INSPECTION IN UTAH. John P. Sorensen, horticultural in- spector for Salt Lake county, Utah, in- spected in 1906 seven carloads and sixty parcels of trees from outside the state, and fumigated most of them. He also inspected and fumigated the stock grown by home nurseries as required by law, eight carloads and 160 boxes and bundles of which have been shipped out of the county and three-fourths of them out of the state. Two thousand of imported trees were condemned and burned in one lot. "Five hundred thousand trees were budded this summer in Salt Lake coun- ty," says Inspector Sorensen, "about one-third from fine bearing trees, the balance from young stock. Nurseries should be compelled to bud and graft from bearing stock true to name, and agents from nurseries outside the state should be under bond to sell stock true to name, as some other states have al- ready incorporated in their laws. * ' All nurseries have been inspected twice and some three times during the growing season. Some 10,000 trees have been dug, fumigated and inspected for root diseases for fall delivery, but 250,- 000 have been dug and put in houses and frost-proof cellars and part of them fumigated, sorted and inspected, the bal- ance to be sorted and inspected through the winter. ' ' OKLAHOMA NURSERYMEN. The eleventh annual meeting of the Oklahoma Nurserymen's Association was held in Oklahoma City, January 8. There was a good attendance and a spirited discussion of trade conditions and trade tendencies, but the only action of im- portance, outside of election of officers, was the decision of the association to support a movement looking to a na- tional inspection law. The officers elected are: President, J. A. Lopman, Enid; vice-president, J. W. Tetrick, Blackwell ; secretary-treasurer, C. E. Garee, Noble. COTONEASTERS. The cotoneasters are among tlie brightest of our hardy berry-bearing plants. C. frigida is one of the best the large bunches of scarlet berries be- ing of much beauty during late autumn and early winter. It is full early to write much about the newer C. angusti- folia, says a correspondent of thr- Gardeners' Magazine, yet this much might bo said, that it appears quilc hardy. C. Simonsii, C. microphylla aii.i C. buxifolia are old inhabitants of om gardens, and are well known to tin planters, especially the former, whos.- upright branches clothed with brigl.r red berries form a conspicuous plaiii, during winter. Nicholson, in his Dictionary of Gat dening, says cotoneasters are easilv raised from seed, but I have not fouiil this to be so, with the exception of ( . angustifolia and C. bacillaris. It is a great pity the seeds do not germinate quicker. Several species I sowed more than a. year ago show no sign of germi nation as yet. I was speaking to oui' forester here a few days since on the subject, and he said he ^ound the best plan was to put the seeds in a box with plenty of sand, allowing them h> remain there a year, and then sow them in the ordinary way.

WILLIAM SAUNDERS The flowers are large, of splendid form, and are borne very freely in immense clusters. The color is a deep rich sbininR scarlet slightly danpled with crimson. P'oliage is a rich bronze. Height, 3^ to 4 feet. We believe that Wm. Saunders is decidedly the most perfect Canna of this type that has been introduced. 50c each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. OTTAWA Is a strong grower, very robust and 5 to 6 feet high. The flowers are large and beau- tifully formed, color is carmine with tints of old rose and deep coral, add to this the silken sheen and you can imagine the effect a few plants will produce. NOTE— We bad this Canna on trial among the Canadian experimental stations last summ* r and this is the otiicial report of their expert: "Quite distinct and one of the most beautiful shades of color I ever saw in Cannas. Of 70 massed in one bed during the past season, this was the most floriferous in the collection, coming into bloom early and con- tinuing until cut down by frost, as many as 13 expanded heads of blooms being counted at one time on a pltiut. and not a poor one among them, all being of immense size." 50c each; $5.tO per doz.; $35.00 per 100. NEW YORK Has the Orchid type of flower. They have much more substance than the flowers of the other varieties of this class, aud will stand the hot sunshine as well as the toughest varieties of cannas. The color is a solid rich scarlet covered with a beautiful glowing sheen. The flowers are large and contrast beautifully with the dark bronze foliage. 50c each; $5.00 per doz.: $35.00 per 100.

MABELLE NEW PINK CARNATION FOR 1007 Color— A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a faint yellowish cast; several shades lighter than the Law- son. Unlike most pinks, the brightest sun does not injure the color. Size— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when established. Odor — Pleasing, but not strong. Steins— Invariably strong, but always graceful, rang- ing from 12 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, etc.— A very quick, active grower, making specimen plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On ac- count of its rapid growth, requires supporting very soon after benching. Gets away rapidly, blooms early and gives long stems ripht from the start. Product* Iveneas— Prodigious is the best word we know of to use here. It is the most incessant bloomer, early and late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. Delivery January 6 to 10 and later. Price $12.00 per 100; tlOO.OO per 1000. THE H. WEBER & SONS CO., Oakland, Md.

The Washington Florists' Club has prepared a list of premiums for the spring exhibition, which it is to hold in conjunction with the annual exhibition of the American Eose Society, March 13 to 15. The Eose Society has a list of its own, providing for exhibits of cut roses and rose plants. The Wash- ington club has aimed to include every- thing else in the list of spring stock which will be available those days. The list includes premiums, three in each class, for single plants and groups of both flowering and decorative plants. There are premiums for many varieties of bulbous stock and special premiums for general displays. A number of classes are supplied for cut blooms of carnations and also for violets. There are fifty-three classes iu all and more will be added from time to time. Those desiring copies of the list may obtain same by addressing Charles McCauley, Eighteenth and Kearney streets, N. E., Washington, D. C. ELBERON, N. J. The Elberon Horticultural Society held a most interesting meeting Janu- ary 7. The principal feature was the elegant display of fine carnations, con- sisting of fifteen vases, in which the fol- lowing varieties were shown : Enchant- ress, Lawson, Victory, Eobert Craig, Ladj' Bountiful, White Lawson and a large vase of Winsor from F. E. Pier- son Co., of Tarrytown, was admired by all. A. Bauer gave an interesting talk on "The Carnation of the Past and Present." The society held true to the old and tried varieties and certainly were loyal to Enchantress, Bed Lawson and Lady Bountiful. The society extended to Mr. Bauer a hearty vote of thanks. Flowers and vegetables were exhibited by the following gardeners: A. Bauer, carnations and celery; A. Greit, Marie Louise violets; James Kennedy, carna- tions; William D. Bobertson, Centra- denia florida and mushrooms; Henry Wood, carnations and vegetables; Peter Murray, carnations; Fred W. Dettlin- ger. Princess of Wales violets. F. W. D.

Peter Reinberg 51 Wabash Ave., CHICAGO Mention The Review when you wri te. We wish to ANNOUNCE TO THE TRADE that we have withdrawn our Crimson Carnation POCAHONTAS from the market, at leant for this season, and perhaps permanently. During the last few weeks of dark weather it has shown an inclination to contract a disease which if allowed to get any headway would speedily ruin it for commercial growing:. The strain of dissemina- tion, and subjection to changed methods of culture would undoubtedly cause it to go to pieces right away, and knowing the circumstances, it would be unjust to the variety and the trade to let it go out. We will continue to grow it as our main crimson, and if it throws off the disease entirely we may let it go out later, but not until we feel assured that it will trot, and be a credit to us. While we regret this very mach, we are grateful that it showed this weakness before we had begun sending out the stock. A.F.J.Baur BXUR & SMITH F.S.Smith 38th St. and Senate Ave., Indianapolis, ind.

Ammann, Edwardsville ; Albert T. Hey, Springfield, and Professor A. C. Beal, of Urbana, was in attendance at the meet- ing of the Board of Agriculture January 7 and 8. The committee succeeded, with the assistance of Mr. O'Dwyer, superin- tendent of floriculture at the state fair, in getting an increase in the appropria- tion for premiums for floriculture at the state fair, from $1,500 to $2,500. Each of the above named committee- men made a few remarks before the board. Professor Beal showed statistics, on a chart, giving an approximate esti- mate on the vast amount of glass area, etc., throughout the state devoted to the growing of flowers. Mr. Hey urged a more liberal amount in premiums and a general revision of the premium list. Mr. Ammann dwelt upon the necessity of a new building for exhibiting flowers and plants and practical assistance in the managing of this department. A great many members of this board seem favor- ably inclined to advance floriculture at the fair. And it is the opinion of this committee that with a little well organ- ized work on their part the florists can accomplish a great deal, but we must keep at it. The committee later met with Mr. O'Dwyer and drew up a skeleton pre- mium list from which Mr. O'Dwyer will have preliminary lists printed and sent out among the florists in the near future, giving all plenty of time to grow stock for the greatest state fair flower show ever held. J- ^- ^' Corfu, N. Y.— T. A. Webb, carnation grower for Miller & Sons, Bracondale, Ont., spent New Year's with his family, who still reside here. Mr. Webb was formerly in business for himself here. Aurora, III.— The $50,000 greenhouse of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy has been torn down during the last few weeks. The smoke and dust made it a failure. It is thought that the company will not rebuild, but will continue to make contracts with Chicago florists for its dining-car flowers, as it is now do- ing.

The first convention of the Society of Southern Florists will be held in New Orleans, February 14 to 16, All florists, nurserymen, supply houses and manufac- turers are cordially invited to make ex- hibits. The south offers a vast field for every branch of the florists' business. While distance has kept southern florists away from northern conventions, they will all come to New Orleans during the Mardi Gras and the exUbits will be seen. New acquaintances will be made and new business will be the result. Communicate at once with the undersigned committee, who will take care of your exhibit. Price of space is as follows: Twenty- five square feet, $5; fifty square feet, $10; 100 square feet, $15, payable in ad- vance. Freight on all exhibits must be prepaid. Cartage to the exhibition hall at cost. Certificates of merit will be awarded to valuable novelties and mer- itorious exhibits in all classes. Address Ed Baker, 2263 Carondelet street, chair- man. For entrance fee and badge send before February 1 to Joseph Steckler Seed Co., Ltd., 512 Gravier street. An elavorate program is being ar- ranged and at the different meetings some papers will be read by florists from Louisiana, Texas, Florida and other states. The principal subjects will be: "Ways and Means for the Advancement of Horticulture in the South," "Rose Growing Under Glass in the South," "What the South Can Grow Profitably for the Northern Markets," "Packing and Shipping Express Rate," "Injuri- ous Insects and Remedies," "School Gardens," "Profitable Orchids for the Florists ' ' and ' ' Chrysanthemum Growing in the South." Circulars are being mailed to the trade and, no doubt, this first convention will be the beginning of a strong organization which will advance the horticultural interests all over the United States. M. M.L. MONTREAL. The market here is having a short sup- ply of good roses, with prices ranging high. Carnations are arriving in good supply and of excellent quality. Violets are plentiful. J. S. Murray had the decorations for the ladies' dinner at the Mount Royal Club. They were entirely of Beauties and lily of the valley. Miss Cairns has been busy on funeral designs and cut flowers. Hall & Robinson had the decorations for the Bachelors' ball at the Hotel Windsor. They used greens and spring flowers. D. J. Sinclair has been busy handling large quantities of bulb stock, tulips and daffodils, finding a ready sale. He is also handling a fine lot of extra special Beauties and violets from the United States. His eastern shipping trade has been increasing rapidly and customers find it exceedingly convenient. W. G.

The weather was mild, the reverse of Christmas, and sales were ahead of last year. Violets were in great demand and a number of plants that were left over from Christmas went well. Trade since the holidays has seemed quiet, but it is more apparent than actual. There are not too many good flowers on the market. Boses and carnations are all cleaned up daily. Paper Whites and Romans go slowly, but they fill in and none go to waste. VariotM Notes. P. R. Pierson sent us a few dozen of the grand carnation Winsor. It is a great keeper and the color we are all after. We expect to see a grand dis- play of it at Toronto. Walter Mott gave us a call the other day in the interest of Bobbink & At- kins. On the same day we received C. Schwake, of New York, who talks lilifes for Charles F. Meyer. Mr. For- bach happened to be aJong, so there was a hot talk on lilies. A remark by Mr. Forbaeh is worth repeating, as it may comfort some of those who may think their lilies late. He said that ten years ago, when in the employ of Joseph H. Rebstock, he had a number of Japanese bulbs that were only just shovdng through the soil February 1. The boys laughed at his thought of their being in flower at Easter, which that year happened to be, the middle of April. In a steady temperature of 70 degfrees there were ninety per cent of them in flower at the desired time. It is the old story: if the bulbs are well ripened before being dug and are given time to root in the pots, in a steady high temperature they will progress and flower. At last we have had a meeting of the Florists ' Club. On his return to life Mr. Neubeck was as chipper as ever. The report of the committee on summer outing was read and approved and to the credit of the committee a small balance was returned to the treasury of the club instead of asking the treas- ury to make up a deficit, There, was a deplorable absence ofcity members and if it had not been for the loyal country members there would not have been a quorum. Especially noticeable was the absence of W. J. Palmer, vice-president of the Carnation Society, whom we fully and fondly expected to be pres- ent to urge a large attendance at To- ronto. As it was, nearly all present promised to go to Toronto and we shall have ten or more as Buffalo's delega- tion. Will there be a more nearby con- vention to attend in the near future? We doubt it. Toronto will treat all visitors most hospitably. And then there are two establishments in the neighborhood well worth a longer trip to see. There is John H. Dunlop's model place, where roses are grown to CENTIRY INSECTICIDE DEATH TO INSECTS Cheapest and beat on market. * Once used, always used.

The condition of things in the metal trade is such that it is wise for any grower who needs a quantity of pipe to be looking about for his supply. The mills are booked up with orders to carry them past the season when growers will want the pipe delivered and it does not look as though pipe would be, at any time this summer, cheaper than at pres- ent. Indeed, the prospects are rather that there will be an advance as the season progresses. One of the largest jobbers of pipe in the United States, who supplies many greenhouse owners, says that it is now, in the dullest part of the year so- far as actual deliveries are con- cerned, impossible to get all the pipe needed of 1-inch, 1 14 -inch, li^-inch and 2-inch to meet actual demand, to say nothing of carrying any considerable stock on hand, as is usually done at this season. He advises all buyers to place orders now, or at least make known the quantities which will be required during the season, so that their needs may be provided for. BOILER CAPACITY. Will you please tell me if a No. 5 Kroeschell boiler will heat three green- houses 28x100; four feet at the sides and twelve feet to the ridge? The sides and ends are exposed. I want to heat with hot water. Should I take two leads from the boiler or one? I want to keep my houses at 52 degrees when it is 20 degrees below zero outdoors. Will a thirty horse-power steam boiler heat four houses of the same size? H. E. R. The three greenhouses will require a total of about 4,000 square feet of radia- tion to maintain the temperature you de- sire, without forcing. While the No. 5 Kroeschell boiler is rated at 4,000 square feet of radiation and will take care of this amount under conditions stated in your inquiry, still the writer would ad- vise considering the next size larger boiler, namely a No. 6, capacity 4,500 square feet of radiation, which would do the work more easily and with less at- tention in the way of firing. This he would especially recommend since the difference in price between the two boil- ers is but $20.

In reference to the main leads, would state that the number of leads will be determined by the positions; that is, if your houses are so arranged that the leads will be side by side, we would ad- vise running from the boiler with one large flowpipe of sufficient capacity for the work. Should your boiler be located in the center of the three houses we would advise two flows. The same may be said of the main returns. It is also more economical to install, as well as more practical, one large main flow and return where this is possible. A UNIQUE NATURAL PRODUCT. One of nature's most wonderful and unique products is asbestos, a material now largely used for covering greenhouse boilers and flowpipes to conserve heat. Prior to 1850, it was looked upon prin- cipally as a curiosity, although Charle- magne (Roman emperor from 800 to 814 A. D.) is said to have had a table cloth made of asbestos, which he cleaned by throwing into fire. There are two varieties of commercial asbestos, known as amphibole and chry- sotile. The former is used only to a com- paratively small extent, as the fibers are short and without tensile strength and are, therefore, not suitable for manufac- turing many of the asbestos products. ^ A V i WAT* R l-F/m ▼ L.

Amphibole is used to some extent in cements, but is not well adapted even for that purpose. Chrysotile, on the other hand, has a strong and silky fiber, which adapts it for such materials as asbestos fabrics, household utensils, theater cur- tains, clothing for*firemen, etc. In Germany, asbestos is known as steinflachs (stone flax) and the miners of Quebec give it quite as expressive a name — pier re coton (cQttqn stone). * Asbestos is mined in open pits, similar to stone quarries, and although it is found in all parts of the world, the mines in Quebec, Canada, are the most famous, yielding eighty-five per cent of the world 's supply of chrysotile. Probably the largest of these mines is that owned by the H. W. Johns-Manville Co., of New York. In 1879 the output of the Quebec mines was 300 tons, which has steadily increased year by year to 50,000 tons in 1905. RETURNS TOO SMALL.

The Market The weather conditions have been rain and warmer, and then more rain for the last week, it is still raining. Shrubbery is beginning to show signs of life. The buds of many of the early sorts are al- ready pushing out and crocuses are in bloom in several places. Trade conditions are about, average, using all stock which is coming in. Boses are still high in price, ranging from $6 to $18 per hundred. Carnations are more plentiful, with enough bulb stock of all kinds. Good Sprengeri is not plentiful, but all other greens are abundant. The retail stores complain that the high price which stock in general has main- tained since before the hoUdays has ex- tinguished the small trade, leaving them depending largely on funeral work and decorations.

Ernest Zieger, who has been confined to his home on account of illness, is again at his place of business.

Q a 8 First, Let Us Tell You What Kind 3 0 of a Trussed House a Section showing trassing, the cast-iron V gutter with drip gutter. ours is, then if you want to go into its every detail, our catalog covers the entire thing, with sketches, cuts, and good readable descriptions taking you to the meat of the thing at once. It's an easy enough matter to truss here and there through your house, but when the whole, standing-up, staying-togetherness of your house depends on the trussing, then you need expert engineering experience. We have that kind of experience, and as a result turn out the lightest and strongest truss house made. A house with absolutely rigid roof bars that easily stands the strain of a 175-lb. man swinging on them at any point, without the slightest perceptible, giving. We have not reduced . the trussing to mere %-inch wires, but %-inch and 5-16-inch steel with %-inch round purlins. We have a stronger house, and still it's lighter than any other, just because we truss at every sixth bar instead of at every fourth, while strutting at every other one instead of at every bar. For the truss house the sashbar is IVg-inch X 2%-inch, in the column house it is 1%-inch X 2%-inch, making Truss house bar. Regular sashbar. the truss-bar narrower but deeper. Our truss house is constructed on tried out, tested mechanical principles. You can make no mistake in buying it — Send for the catalog. a a a a a a a a a a a a Lord & Burnnam Co.

I have two houses, each ^.3x100. in which I grow lettiue and general stock. I keep a night temperature .")0 to 52 de- grees. Tliey arc heated with hot water. There are two flows in each house, along the purlins. One ."JV.j-inch pipe supplies six 2-inch pipes under the outside benches and one .'{-inch flow supplying four 2-lnch pipes under the inside benclus. The outlet from each house is separate into the boiler in ."i-inch pipe. I had a special boiler made to order that has proved Itself beyond my expec- tations. In the winter of 100.">-6 I used thirty-one tons of coal at .$1.00 and ten cords of :? foot wood worth about ?2..")() per cord. This I thought very reason- able. The circulation is perfect. Last winter in moderate weather, tliat is. not windy and outside temperature 20 de- grees or so above zero, F would leave the boiler nine hours with a variation of but 3 degrees. Ten days ago I was called to Cleve- land overnight. The outside tempera- ture was 4«! degrees at 2 :40 p. m., when I left the boiler, with a gradually sink- ing mercury. There being no men about, 1 left instructions that tlie boiler should not be touched until next morning. My wife, on my return next evening, report- ed that at 7 p. m. it became quite windy and by 9 :.S0 was freezing, with stormy outlook. When she awoke at 6 a. m. the outside temperature was 26 degrees and the greenhouses were 47 degrees. I think this is a record for fifteen hours and twenty minutes without attention. I would like to hear from anyone who can beat it. S. ('. Tkmim.ix. That's The Chap Referred To Send for Catalogue ..-14 KR0E8CHELL BROS. CO., tril'st CHICAGO ^Binv Vol. XK. A JOURNAL"" FLORISTS.

Gould ^jNE way to judge carnationt is to see them on the exhibition tables. A better and more convincingf way is to see them ^^ growing; therefore we cordially invite all carnation growers to visit us and judge for themselves regarding the superiority of the above named sorts. Our carnation houses are at SCARBOROUGH>ON-HUDSON (not Tarrytown). Friends who desire to visit us can take the N. Y. C & H. R. R. R. from New York. Trains leave there every half hour. Scarborough is the first station north of Tarrytown. Our grounds adjoin the station^ and the greenhouses are about five minutes' walk from the station. We are growing 86,000 PLANTS OF WINSOR for cut flowers alone, for the New York market this season, which shows the faith we have in it. This will also enable visitors to see it growing in quantity, and, besides that will give us enough plants to get a great abundance of fine, healthy cuttings without over-propagating. We have already booked a large quantity among the large growers, and anticipate for this variety the largest sale of any new carnation that has ever been distributed, as large growers who have seen it are enthusiastic in regard to its value. Those who have seen it have immediately placed large orders for it, so we recommend those who have not ordered to place order without delay, so as to ensure early delivery.

Ground color lovely shade of silvery pink, with very fine pencilings of carmine, making an exceedingly exquisite combination. While on close observation this variety is variegated, the general effect is one beautiful tone of dark pink. Exceedingly vaki&ble, because it combines the earliness, freedom, long stem, and large size of Enchantress, giving another color possessing all the other desirable qualities of Enchantress. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

Daybreak sport of Lawson, about the same color as Enchantress, but much brighter, and does not fade like Enchantress. Also a much better keeper and shipper. Those who grow the Lawson varieties exclusively will find this very valuable and desirable, because it gives an improved Enchantress color, which is so popular, and at the same time can be grown in the same house with the other Lawsons. An extra fine thing in every way and in great demand. A great addition to the Lawson class. $10.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000. ROSE-PINK ENCHANTRESS. A sport of Enchantress.

WASHINGTON. D. C. JANUARY. 1908. The American marines who landed on British soil at Kingston were repulsed by a volley of vehement rhetoric, but the invasion of Canada by the American Carnation Society has been consum- mated with an exchange of compliments which has added to our long cherished hope that some day there may be no boundary line between us. It is the first time the Carnation Society has crossed the border, although many of its stanchest members are Canadian carnation growers. Toronto is one of the pleasantest cities on the American continent, and her florists are among the most hospitable men on earth. They were able to make arrangements which erased the line usually drawn by the customs authorities, and the ship- ments of carnations for exhibition, bear- ing the official tag of the American Carnation Society, were passed as though no such thing as tariff red tape ever existed. All the Toronto craftsmen had put their shoulders to the wheel, under the leadership of President Dunlop, and with united effort had perfected ar- rangements which left nothing to be desired in the way of conveniences for staging an excellent exhibition, or for the purposes of the meetings of the society. It is probable that the severe cold wave which swept over the country two days before the hour of starting for the convention had something to do with cutting down the attendance, which was, nevertheless, close to 300 on Wednesday afternoon and fully as large as at recent meetings of the society, showing that the local people had turned out in full force, for there are not so many growers in the environs of Toronto as in the terri- tory adjacent to Boston and Chicago. All the wheel horses of the society were present, except William Scott, Peter Fisher and John Birnie, who were ill. Far away Denver had three, Boston and New York sent good delegations and Chicago was better represented than at the Boston meeting last year. It was 8 degrees below zero at Toronto on Wednesday and all trains were delayed, the Boston party being five hours behind schedule. The result was that many shipments arrived too late for competition, in spite of the hour 's grace given by virtue of the official announcement, a fortnight ago, that exhibitors could have until 2 p. m. for staging. Nearly all stock traveled well and good packing caused everything to come through without loss by frost. It was noted that the varieties shown were again practically all new sorts. In recent years the exhibitions of the Car- nation Society have no longer been con- tests of different growers to see who Fred H. Lemon. (President-elect American Carnation Soclt-ty.) could produce the best blooms of stand- ard varieties, but have become displays of far more interesting and important character, namely, exhibitions of the best blooms of the varieties shortly to occupy space on the growers' benches by the displacement of inferior sorts. The raising of carnation seedlings has become the pastime of hundreds of small growers. Dozens of these seedlings were shown in small quantities, not for com- petition but for comparison with the splendid sorts which are being sent out this year. Some fine things are among them. So far has the development of the carnation progressed that it takes a genuinely good thing to stand up before the critical inspection accorded exhibits at the annual meeting of the American Carnation Society. The exhibition possibly was not quite so large as that at Boston last year and at Chicago the year before, but it never- theless was a large and interesting show. The quality was good throughout, al- though not so fine as it would; have been had not the whole country suffered for weeks under the debilitating influence of warm, damp atmosphere and sunless skies. The management of the exhibition was in the hands of George H. Mills, who handled his task to the satisfaction of all. The exhibition hall, the assembly room in the city building, was excellently adapted to the purpose, stock keeping well. The business meetings were excel- lently housed under the same roof. President John H. Dunlop proved to be one of the most capable presiding officers the society ever has had ahd the business meetings were conducted' after a fashion to set a pace for his suc- cessors. First Business Session. It was not until Wednesday evening * that the society got down to business, with a crowded house, the exhibition hall also being well filled at the time by Toronto's best people, whose interest proved the oft-repeated assertion that a visit of the Carnation Society gives the sale of the carnation a tremendous im- petus in the favored city. The society was eloquently welcomed by Lieutenant Governor Clarke, whose address was full of. sentiment and brotherly feeling. The mayor, a cousin of L(. Coatsworth, of Chicago, was un- avoidably absent, but the second of Chairman Graham, of the Civic Com- mittee, was as warm as even the mayor could have made it. Responses were made by C. W. Ward, of Queens, and F. II. Lemon, of Richmond. Mr. Ward paid tribute to Canada's vastness, her resources, her future, and what it means to those engaged in floriculture. He said the spirit of progress as exemplified in President Dunlop and the other To- ronto florists indicates the manifest des- tiny of the Dominion. Mr. Lemon spoke of the gratitude of the society for the warmth of hospitality extended and of the community of interests between Canada and the United States as be- tween all carnation growers. He also said a word for the absent members, many of whom were detained by illness. President John H. Dunlop then read his annual address, introducing it with a few words of welcome on his own account and for the Canadian florists. The mem- bers were invited to visit all local grow- ers. The address was as follows: President's Address. It is with more than ordinary pleas- ure I welcome you to this, the sixteenth annual convention of this progressive and important organization. At our last con- vention, at Boston, words of welcome were extended by his worship the mayor, by the secretary of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society (in the absence of its president), the president of the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club, and replied to by members of this society; men who have by their untiring zeal endeared 694 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ January 24, 1907. John H. Dunlopt President American Carnation Society. exhibition hall should be taken advan- tage of, not only by those who are grow- ing them, but also by the public, who are our best critics, for it is they who are our support and to them we look for approval of our product. Certainly if the public do not patronize our wares no matter how much we cherish any par- ticular variety, it is valueless. It is them we have to please and they whom we should encourage to see the flowers in all stages of development at our green- houses, and to express their opinion on what we are producing, criticising as ii were, thus becoming familiar with tbo varieties by name, color, etc., and the public like to be consulted and have ;; knowledge of the different varieties. We have long looked forward to this time, when we could present such a mag- nificent show and bring to our city the men who have been instrumental in pro- ducing such grand flowers ; men who arc revered by every lover of the divino flower and whose names will ever be re- membered as those who, by their lovo and devotion to their chosen calling, have given to the world the best that has ever been. There are not many things that I can speak of in this address that would be considered new, as we on this side feel ourselves students and desire to be taught. But there is one matter of par- ticular importance to all, and I hope that we can find a solution, or formu- late a plan by which we can put it in operation in an intelligent and practical way. It is: What should qualify a new variety for the American Carnation So- ciety's certificate of merit? What has been said and done at previous conven- tions along this line has hardly been satisfactory, or has been found to be de- fective in some particular. At our last convention at Boston a committee was themselves to us and who have by perse- verance and industry advanced to that high plane which few of us hope to at- tain. I referred to the Boston welcome on account of the historical connection and the traditional history of that good old commonwealth. But you are wel- comed tonight to one of the newer or more modern cities; one that is only be- ginning to feel the impulse of commer- cial activity and has not that traditional history of which our last convention city could boast, but none the less hearty and loyal. Toronto welcomes you with the true British hospitality that is ever found where the Anglo-Saxon tongue is spoken. Let me here express this wish: May the ties that bind the two greatest Eng- lish-speaking nations, of which Canada is a part and I may say the brightest gem in the British crown, never be severed but be welded more closely together in the bonds of love, esteem, friendship and commercial union. We feel highly honored in having you with us on this the first time that the society has met outside of the United States; more especially so as the mem- bership from the Dominion has been very small. It was not the numerical strength of the Canadian members that brought the convention to Toronto, but the good feeling, the magnanimous spirit and the desire to assist in showing the people of this country the progress and improve- ment that has taken place in the devel- opment of the divine flower. It is of the greatest importance that the educational feature of such an exhi- bition 'of carnations as we have in the Peter Bisset, Vice-president Elect American Carnation Society. r JANUARY 24, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review* 695 Edward Dale. (President Toronto Gardeners' and Florists' Asssclatlon ) named to bring in a report, but it -was received at the last afternoon session and too late to receive that attention a ques- tion of so much importance deserves. It should be considered both from the orig- inator's and the buyer's standpoint; both should be considered. The man who devotes his time and brains to the hybridizing of carnations should re- ceive every encouragement from the so- ciety; also the grower who buys the new varieties largely from the descrip- tion of the originator and from the awards that have been made, both from this society and the various exhibitions at which the variety was shown. It may have scored high, as seen at the various exhibitions, but there may be some of the most essential points of a first-class commercial variety lacking. The question is, how are we to arrive at a solution? How are we to ascertain if the variety contains the points that go to make up a profitable variety for the average commercial grower! These should be carefully considered, and when the certificate is awarded it should be a guaranty that these points have been ascertained and proven. The more closely we guard our awards, the more closely we scrutinize these points," so much more will the trade generally rely confidently on the endorsement of this society and it should enhance the value of any va- riety having the endorsement of this so- ciety. But let us guard jealously the award- ing of this certificate, and let it be all that the name implies. We know how closely every award is made; how closely every point is scrutinized in the old land and as a result the award is accordingly prized by the recipient, for he knows his product has been deserving or it would not be awarded. Another matter that should receive our attention is the increasing work of the secretary. With the growth of the so- ciety his work has increased in a much greater ratio. During the short time I have held office as your president I know the amount of correspondence must be considerable, as from my end he has had reason to know we were working. The compiling of the premium list, solic- iting advertisements, etc., the compiling of the annual report and the preparatory work for each convention is considerable. It might be well for this meeting to consider the question and suggest some means of lightening the work, either by granting an assistant for a stated time each year, or the purchase of labor- saving appliances and not to exceed a certain sum to be named by the society. Above all, let us recognize our secretary's ability and make him feel by our words and actions that we appreciate his serv- ices. Nothing makes one feel more en- ergetic than to know he has your sym- pathy and support. This convention will have served its purpose if it stimulates a still greater interest in the divine flower in our broad Dominion. We have not been as quick to recognize the importance of the car- nation as our American brethren and for that reason the development has not been as great as we would desire, and we hope that in visiting the greenhouses of this section where carnations are grown that you will criticise our work and not be slow to point out our mis- takes. We note with interest the popu- larity of the carnation in England, also that the American varieties are being George Vair, (Prominent Horticulturlat, active In tlie Toronto Electoral District Society,) 696 The Weekly Florists' Review* January 24, 1007. largely grown, and from the comments in the horticultural press the varieties are giving general satisfaction. Trusting that your stay with us may be both pleasant and profitable, and thanking you for the honor conferred on me by electing me your president, before concluding I wish to thank the gentle- men composing the different committees who have worked so harmoniously and zealously in completing the arrangements for this convention. The report of Secretary Herr was pre- sented, and adopted, as follows: Secretary's Report. Your secretary reports having issued the usual printed matter during the year and mailing the same as issued. There were two deaths reported to the secretary during the year, those of Lewis Ullrich, of Tiffin, O., and J. L. Dillon, Bloomsburg, Pa., the first that ments, perhaps more so than the most of them. The last year three of these errors happened to get into our premium list. First, the substitution of the name of Eugene Dailledouze for that of Wm. Scott, as judge; second, the use of the name of O. E. King Co., Ltd., instead of the King Construction Co., in the award of a special; and last but not least, the loss of copy for a half page ad. and a $10 special, and the non-ap- pearance of either in the premium list. When my attention was called to this, I offered to have adv. and premium both printed on a postal card and send it out to every member, at my own expense, but this offer was not accepted. The advertisements in the premium list amount to $231.50. These adver- tisers are worthy of your patronage. This is the only means whereby we can secure the revenue necessary for the ex- pense of this society, expenses that are increasing faster than the membership. Hermann Sioimers. (Chalimiin Executive Committee, Tofronto Horticultural Society.) have been reported during my term of oflSce. Mr. Valentine, of Denver, sev- eral years ago made some remark about a suitable offering being sent in such cases. There was no action taken in the matter and I would suggest that an offering be adopted as representative of this society, and upon similar conditions arising again, the secretary be empow- ered to wire a florist in the city of the deceased, to send such offering with the society card. Like most human beings, your secre- tary is subject to errors, lapse of mem- ory and the losing of important docu- To secure these advertisements your sec- retary wrote almost 300 personal letters, in addition to the printed notices sent all members, and the showing does not measure up with the amount of time and labor expended. Every member of this society who has anything to advertise should use this premium list; it is not money thrown away and is the only contribution the society asks, aside from your annual dues of $2. Your president, Mr. Dunlop, has given the secretary much valuable as- sistance during the year and has cer- tainly well earned the honor attached to his office. The report of Treasurer Dorner was presented, and adopted, as follows: Treasurer's Report. Permanent Fund. Amount reported Jan. 20, 1906. .$1,906.21 Cash received 29.10 $2,025.31 Working Fund.

Eudd, of Mount Greenwood, 111., but was not concluded at, this session, although it was given as the opinion of several speakers that the society's certificate granted to blooms on the exhibition table should not be taken as determining commercial values. Invitations for 1908 being in order, the invitation of Washington given orig- inally at Boston last year was renewed by Wm. Weber, of Oakland, Md., and C. W. Ward, of Queens. An invitation to Indianapolis was presented by John Bertermann, Fred Dorner and E. G. Gil- lett, the latter of Cincinnati. Officers were nominated , as follows : For president, Wm. F.

Alma Ward was the most generally ad- mired vase in the show. S. A. F. medals for vases of fifty flowers, any American variety, not yet disseminated, were awarded as follows: Silver medal to Cottage Gardens Co., for Alma Ward. Bronze medal to Bassett & Washburn, for No. 20. There was splen- did competition in this class, the follow- ing varieties being staged in fine shape: Mrs. Ward, by the Cottage Gardens ; The Marchioness, by L. E. Marquisee, Syra- cuse; Elsa Struss, by the Cottage Gar- dens; No. 23, by Bassett & Washburn; Chrystal, by the Wa-no-ka Greenhouses, Barneveld, N. Y. ; Pink Imperial, by J. E. Haines; No. 303, by Dailledouze Bros. The special prize for largest and best display was won by F. E. Pierson Co., Thomas Manton. (Ex-president of the Canadian Horticultural Aesoclatlon iind Chairman of the Executive. Committee of the Toronto Gardeners' and FlorlatH' Association.) who staged over 5,000 blooms. A spe- cial display of Winsor was awarded a certificate. The cup of the Canadian Horticul- tural Association for six vases of fifty blooms each was won by F. E. Pierson Co. The Steele-Briggs cup for six vases of twenty-five was won by W. J. Lawrence. The King Construction Co. cup for growers using King greenhouses was won by W. J. Lawrence on Lawson. The Dale Estate cup for 100 blooms any variety to be disseminated in 1907 was won by the Cottage Gardens Co., on Beacon. The John H. Dunlop special for fifty blooms white was won by • the Cottage Gardens Co. on No. 2653. The Wm. Gammage special for a pink never before exhibited, lighter than Law- son but darker than Enchantress, was won by Dailledouze Bros, on No. 348. The W. J. Lawrence prize for fifty blooms, open only to growers with less than 20,000 feet of glass, was won by E. Crowhurst, on Enchantress. The John H. Dunlop prize for private gardeners was won by Malachi Tierney, on Enchantress. The George Vair special prize for twenty-five red went to Guttman & Weber, for Victory. Not for Competition.

Fred Burki, Gibsonia, Pa., had a fine dark pink but it was weak in stem. J. D. Cockcroft, Northport, L. I., had a fine vase of fifty; a good flower and stem resembling Lawson. W. J. Palmer & Son, Lancaster, N. Y., exhibited Eed Lawson, a variegated sport and a pink sport, all good commercial stock. H. Weber & Sons Co.. Oakland, Md., had three seedlings, which, arriving late, could not be entered for competition. They were Mabelle, Toreador and No. 24-02. • Baur & Smith, Indianapolis, had two promising varieties, Alay and St. Nich- olas, which arrived late. E. A. Stroud, of the Strafford Flower Farm, Overbrook, Pa., was another of the late arrivals. His varieties were Eobert Craig, Mrs. M. A. Patten and Victory, all fine flowers. B. Witterstaetter, Cincinnati, was on hand with a batch of fine seedlings of Aristocrat. 698 The Weekly Florists' Review^ Januaey 24, 1907. F. Dorner & ^ons Co., Lafayette, Ind., had a number of seedlings, notable among which were No. 97-03, yellow; 5-03, crimson; 14-04, red. P. E. Quinlan, Syracuse, exhibited a number of commercial varieties, all well grown. Trade Exhibits, The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., staged a vase of its new rose, EheaEeid, which was fine and attracted much atten- tion. Wm. Fendley, Brampton, exhibited some good Princess of "Wales violets. The Bedford Floral Co. staged an es- pecially fine vase of Eichmond roses. J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, had a fine exhibit of begonias and Farleyense for which he is so well known. Two new begonias also were shown. W. P. Craig, of Philadelphia, staged some splendid plants of the new feruj Nephrolepis Amerpohlii. H. H. Barrows & Son, Whitman, Mass., exhibited some well grown speci- men plants of Nephrolepis Whitmani. Grover Bros., of Buffalo, made an ex- hibit of their ever-ready pot covers made of waterproof crepe paper. Thursday's Sessions. The reading of essays occupied a large part of Thursday's sessions. All save that of E. O. King appear in this issue. The most important work of the meet- ing followed the reading of the report of the committee on nomenclature, which was as follows: Nomenclature Committee Report. Your committee reports the registra- tion of the following carnations during the past year: Stevenson Bros., Govanstown, Md., Splendor. James D. Cockcroft, Northport, N.

Mr. Maxfield, of Maxfield & Dimond, Warren, E, I., was on hand with an exhibit of his artificial calyx, which he offers as the ounce of prevention that is better than a pound of cure, for its use prevents split calyxes. The Baur Floral Co., Erie, Pa., showed a device for mending split carnation calyxes. It is an entirely original idea and was of much interest to the growers.

W. Lawson and will be on exhibition at the meeting. Malachi Tierney, Highlands, N. J., Mrs, Eobert Hartshorne. Eegistration is getting to be quite a bit of work. One of the above registra- tions was effected after an interchange of eight letters, several of the others re- quiring three and four, owing to the fact that the list of names that have been used is cumbersomely large, and, also, to the fact that some introducers of new varieties do not take the trouble or do not care to go to the expense of registra- tion. From the amount of space given by our trade papers to this matter of regis- tration, there is no excuse for any orig- inator not to know that when he names a carnation, the proper thing to do is to have that name registered with the so- ciety at once, the cost being but $1 per name, and it is not necessary even to bo a member of the society to have a vari- ety registered. We, therefore, again recommend that no variety under name be allowed to compete in the exhibitions of this so- ciety unless said name has been properly registered, either with this society or the S. A. F., and that this rule be in force for our next exhibition, with the privi- lege of registration the first morning of the exhibition for those who may have previously neglected it or do not know of this rule. We would also recommend that all names registered previous to 1896 be eliminated from the working list of this committee. The report was signed by Albert M. Herr, A. Herrington and Eugene Daille- douze. There was much discussion on allow- ing the name. Welcome, to stand for a flesh-colored Lawson. The name was adopted by a vote of the society. The by-law requiring that a committee judge new varieties growing before they re- ceive the society's certificate was re- voked. The committee on colors, W. N. Eudd, Fred Lemon and C. W. Ward, reported the following definitions: Flesh pink, those shades of a flesh and salmon type; light pink, those lighter shades verging on the true pink and lighter than Law- son; dark pink, as dark and darker than Lawson, including all so-called cerise not dark enough to be classed as red; red or carmine, all shades of red that can not be classed as scarlet or cardinal; scarlet or cardinal, all light shades now com- monly known in the trade as scarlet; crimson, those shades now classed as crimson; any other color, any color dis- tinct from the above; white, yellow and variegated to stand. The committee rec- ommended maroon instead of crimson, but the society refused to concur. The society adopted resolutions ex- pressive of sympathy for Wm, Scott in his illness. The McKinley memorial fund was voted $100. Election. When the hour arrived for the selec- tion of the next place of meeting C. W. Ward made a strong plea for Washing- ton and carried the decision over Fred Dorner 's earnest opposition in behalf of Indianapolis. The election of officers then was pro- ceeded with and resulted as follows: President, Fred H. Lemon, Eichmond, Ind,; vice-president, Peter Bisset, Wash- ington; secretary, Albert M. Herr, Lan- caster, Pa.; treasurer, Fred E. Dorner, Lafayette, Ind. Entertainment Features. The ladies were entertained by a drive about the city and at the theater. The Toronto Gardeners' and Florists' Club will entertain at a banquet at King Edward's hotel this evening, Thursday. By invitation of the florists of Bramp- ton, the convention party will go to that city Friday morning on a special train for a look at the greenhouses there. JANCAUY 24, 1907. The Weekly Rorists' Review. 699 John Biraie. NOT TOO MANY NEW VARIETIES. [A paper by John Blrnie, West Hoboken, N. J., read before the American Carnation Soci- ety, at the Toronto Convention.] "Are there too many new carnations introduced?" This is the question put to me by the American Carnation Soci- ety. I think it will be quite safe to give a negative answer to the question. Beautiful as the American carnation is at the present time the summit of per- fection has not yet been reached and generations yet to come will find the goal still in front of them. The Early Trials. There was a time, some fifteen or more years ago, that carnation growers throughout the country looked a little askance at the ' ' new carnation, ' ' and not without good reason. We had at that time an avalanche of new carna- tions, many of which were found to be worthless, causing considerable loss and disappointment to those who bought them, and with those new carnations sev- eral new diseases were introduced, which created quite a commotion in carnation growing circles. Strenuous efforts were made to cure or overcome those diseases by the use of quack nostrums, but in many cases the cure was found to be worse than the disease. It might be said here, however, that those diseases never put experienced growers to any great inconvenience; and introducers gradually becoming aware of the fact that carnations grown un- der proper treatment and natural condi- tions were immune, those diseases finally disappeared, and today are never se«^ in any properly handled establishment. The Sodet/s Certificate. Introducing a new carnation at the present time is, however, an altogether different matter to what it was fifteen years ago, or before the advent of the American Carnation Society. This soci- ety has surrounded the legitimate intro- ducer with such restrictions as will make it absolutely impossible for him to in- troduce a new carnation which has not at least good qualities enough to make it desirable in some branch of our busi- ness. Under the resolution passed at Bos- ton, the much coveted certificate of merit will be harder to get than ever, seeing that the carnation must score the re- quired eighty-five points or more on the exhibition table, and also be examined at the introducer's establishment. This, I think, is a step in the right direction, and for the first time makes the certifi- cate mean something to the intending buyer. Hitherto the certificate of merit has only been a sort of special prize for specially selected flowers cut from plants which have been specially treated so as to produce blooms large enough to at- tract special attention on the exhibition table. This proves nothing, except that the varieties exhibited can, by intensive cultivation, he induced to produce large fiower.'.. As to how many flowers can he proo in midwinter, unless you send Mr. Odison along with one of the Chicago uackers, who between them might man- ige to bottle up some of the surplus sun- .hine during the summer months, that we could let loose in our carnation houses when it is wanted in the winter. Until that happy time arrives, we shall have !0 be satisfied with what we can get in ihe ordinary way. Thanking you for the honor you have AMERICAN SORTS IN DENMARK. [A paper by Peter Riise, Copenhagen, Den- mark, read before the American Carnation Society at the Toronto Convention.] Carnations are not yet grown on a very large scale in Denmark ; they are shipped in here from Italy and southern France, from Movember until May, and it is hard for the home growers to compete with the imported stock. Experience With American Varieties. We cannot get as nice carnations here in midwinter as you can in America, as the days are short and we get little sun- shine. I have been growing carnations here since 1899, and have been growing Carnation Pink Imperial. given me in asking for and listening., to these notes, which, I regret I am .not able to read personally, I will conclude with the best wishes for the future rsuc- cess of the American carnation in gien- eral, and the American Carnation So- ciety in particular. Vivat, creseat, floreat! Burlington, Ia. — The venerable Peter Nies is recovering from his severe illness. Sioux Falls, S. D. — Thomas 'W. Ho- bart has submitted rough plans to the city for beautifying the new McKennan park. Salem, O. — William Munday has sold his property on McKinley avenue and will move his greenhouses outside the city limits, where he will erect extensive addi- tions to his plant. ■ The soot and smoke in the present location is the cause of the change. nothing but the American sorts. I started with about forty plants and grow now about 7,000 plants. The first winter I had a good deal of trouble with the plants, as a good many would rot, on account of the damp and cloudy weather. The first varieties I started with were Daybreak, Flora Hill, C. A. Dan&, Wm. Scott, Triumph, Evelina and Gold Nug- get, but I have now discarded them all, with the exception of Triumph and Day- break. Flora Hill did not give blooms enough, and, besides, white varieties are not so much called for as the colored sorts. C. A. Dana was too small. Scott came too late with its second crop. It would not come till the last part of May. All of the Evelina rotted in a short time the first autumn. Gold Nugget did not give flowers enough and the most of them came imperfect, and customers will not pay more for yellow than for white or pink. All of Daybreak rotted with the exception of two or three plants and I thought of discarding it, but by careful handling I have since had very good suc- cess with it, and it has up till this day been one of my best paying varie- ties. It is, however, a little inclined to be weak in the stem in the winter time. My best paying variety of them all has been Triumph. It blooms early in au- tumn and some all through the winter. It seldom splits and it gives a good heavy crop early in the spring, but it sometimes is pretty badly affected with stem-rot. I have since tried Ethel Crocker, Gov- ernor Roosevelt and Mrs. Lawson. Crock- er splits badly in the fall and all through winter and does not give a good crop be- fore the middle of summer, too late to pay. Roosevelt gives a good flower, a good stem, but hardly blooms enough in fall and winter to pay, and it also comes too late in the spring with the best crop to be of much account. Lawson splits badly and has rather a short stem in au- tumn, but in early spring it gives a heavy crop of nice flowers and a good long stem just in the right time to bring a good price. Testing Newer Varieties. In the spring of 1905 I bought some of the newer American varieties. I got them from England, but they are quite expensive there. They charge from 1 shilling to 2 shillings apiece. Others have tried to import them from America, but not with good success. In the most cases they were dead when they arrived. The varieties I am trying are Fla- mingo, Harlowarden, Harry Fenn, Presi- dent, America, Enchantress, Prosperity, Floriana, Indianapolis, Nelson Fisher and White Lawson. I have not formed any decided opinion of them yet, as I only got a dozen of each, and used them only for propagat- ing last winter, but my opinion of each variety is as follows: Enchantress is a fine flower, with good color and stem, but will not give so many flowers as Day- break, and was a good deal affected with stem-rot in the field. Prosperity I do not think will pay, as variegated colors do not sell so well, and it has not bloomed very much so far. Estelle looks as thought it would be one of the best. It starts to bloom early and freely, has a good sized flower, stiff stem, not so long, but long enough for our market. It does not split and it is still full of flowers and buds. Flamingo is a fine flower, but too late. Estelle is the better paying of the two. America is too pale in the winter. In the dark varieties Harry Fenn is to date the best. It has made the best growth in the field and the color seems to take the best. Harlowarden is too dark in winter. President made a poor growth in the field. White Lawson is a nice flower, but being white, does not pay. Floriana is one of the colors the most called for, but has bloomed very little so far. Indianapolis, from indications, looks as though it would take the place of Triumph. It blooms early in autumn, has a stiffer and more wiry stem, stronger color and is not troubled so much with stem*rot as Triumph. Nelson Fisher, one of the best, has a fine color, is free blooming, has a good stem, does not split, has made a good growth in the field and bench and is not troubled with any kind of disease. It is hard to propa- gate in winter, but roots quite freely in August. '7T 704 The Weekly Florists^ Review* JaiNuarx 24, 1907 Time of Planting. We plant in the field about May 1 and lift again the first part of August, but we hardly get as strong growth as you do in the United States. Heretofore I have been propagating my plants in au- tumn and early winter; but this year I have propagated most of my plants in August, and I now have strong plants, and then I keep them quite cool through the winter, just about freezing. In that way I take the, cuttings from the old plants just before throwing them out. They give good cuttings at that time, as we are not troubled much with red spider and the summer is not so hot that they will not make a good growth all through the summer, and in this way we save the plants a good deal in autumn. In some places here they keep the young plants in a coldframe all winter, only protected with glass and shutters, and the ground will at times be frozen hard, but it is mostly the European vari- eties they keep in that way. However, I think it a little risky, as I saw in one place where they all died in a short time from drip and rot. Temperature. When I first started I kept my carna- tions on a night temperature of about 50 degrees. The stems would then be rather weak; nevertheless they sold well all through the winter at 60 cents per dozen. But in the last few years the importa- tions from the south have increased to such an extent that they sell carnations here in midwinter from 25 cents to 30 cents per dozen. And these are nice, large flowers, with good, stiff stems, from fifteen to twenty inches long; in fact, they are better flowers than we csm pro- duce here with our short days. I now keep them on about 38 to 40 degrees through December, January and February. In that way we get few flowers in midwinter, but the plants will be better and stronger in the spring and will give a good crop in April, May smd June, the time when there is the biggest demand for them. On the whole, we have to look for such varieties as will give a good crop in October and November and again in the spring, and we will get a better price then than in midwinter. In fact, it is impossible for us to compete with the imported stock when it is at its best. They are at present working on a revision of the tariff, and if we should get a duty on cut flowers it would be a great help to the florists and there would be grown a great many more carnations. A warm house is essential in this lati- tude. My own houses consist of about 20,000 feet of glass, one-half in carna- tions. The houses are 18x100 and 24x 100, heated by hot water. The glass, 14x19, is of double thickness. AMERICAN SORTS IN ENGLAND. [A paper by A. F. Dutton, Iver, Bucks, Eng- land, read before the American Carnation So- ciety at the TorontOtConvention.] I am pleased to give you my candid opinion as to the views of my fellow growers and the general opinion of the English public now, in regard to the car- nations that have been imported from the States. Effect of First Showing. It is now some five years ago that they were first grown and shown to perfection and called Americafi tree carnations, and I have the pleasure of being the first to show them in the way they are now gen- erally shown here. My fir^^ exhibit of note was at the Temple, 1903, when they caused quite a sensation, and I may say the great start to their present popular- ity. They at first met witii ft great deal of criticism from the border carnation fancier, and I was told by one > who is considered the finest raiser of this kind in our country (I may use his words) : "Well, Mr. Dutton, I congratulate you on your exhibit; nothing could b6:-,more beautiful." With this remark" t /^ais quite content, and knew their day would have to come. Now they are being grown on quite a large scale as a market flower, where be-- fore only the inferior and short-stemmed variQJiies were seen, such as Duchess of rife, Urial Pike and Miss Joliffe. But I may add, there is a great difference in the quality of carnations produced by different growers, and It is only the few who can grow to real perfection. New Society and New Varieties* This month a newly formed society namely, the Winter Flowering Carna- tion Society, held a very successful show at the Botanic Gardens, London, iu which the American varieties predomi nated, there being classes for thirty-si and eighteen blooms of a color, also fc; groups of cut blooms. The show wa.> in every way a success, and a fine loi of blooms was staged. I may. give a few lines on the new v;' rieties that are being raised from yonv imported varieties. I consider that b' fore many seasons we shall have som • very fine varieties, quite a credit to thei? parentage. ' Britannia, ' which is bein,^ disseminated this year, is the finest scar let I know. It puts Eobert Craig and Victory in the shade, and I firmly be- lieve that we shall have other varieties- in time, of eqvial merit. But it is not for me to dwell oil the possibilities of the future, but the facts of the past and present. Shipping. In regard to shipping, this will always be a great drawback to business being transacted on a .large scale, as it is far too uncertain tfli please the majority of growers here wlwy receive them. I my- self have received successful shipments, but these have been fi^w and far be- tween; for instance, fine consignment turn^d'o'ut good; another, from the same grower, turned out the reverse, and the loss was eighty per cent. It would have been policy to have burned the entire lot on arrival, as the survivors were weak, unhealthy .and infected with rust, also the spo^v/'i ofttin feel I should like to think I had never to ship any more, as it is always a nightmare when shipping time comes in the spring. House of Carnation White Perfection at the Establishment of the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111. January 24, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review* 705 Bright Pink Seedling Carnation Exhibited at Toronto by W. G. Saltford, Pooghkeepsie, N. Y. (Blooms measure four inches. The variety is as yet nameless.) Some Poor Varieties. There is one more point, t\je last but not least: Many varieties that are so well spoken of and advertised in your papers as gaining different awards of merit prove very poor varieties with us. The following are a few: Fiancee, Car- dinal, Ethel Ward, Candace, Indianapo- lis, Nelson Fisher, Abundance and Fla- mingo. If this continues, your European buyers will certainly decrease, as it is hardly sufficient, with the losses we sus- tain through shipping, to make the game worth the candle when procuring really first-rate standard varieties. MECHANICAL WATERING. [A paper by Louis Wittbold, Chicago, read before the American Carnation Society at the Toronto Conrentlon.] I have been asked by your secretary to give my views on mechanical water- ing, and I wish to ask, do any of us believe that the present mode of water- ing cannot be improved upon? If we look back at the different things that have been accomplished all along the line in greenhouse construction and heating, etc., even in watering, inasmuch as the hose has superseded the can, we certainly must admit that there is always room for still further improvement. It is only a short time ago when all watering in greenhouses was done with the watering can, and we all know with what prejudice the hose was looked upon as a factor in greenhouse work. This prejudice has gradually been overcome until today even our cousins across the water are using rubber tubes to save time and labor. Modem Improvements. The improvements in construction, pumping machinery, specializing of stock grown, etc., have made possible a sav- ing of a large part of the labor of water- ing. Formerly a mixture of different kinds of plants were grown in one green- house in one grand conglomeration, and, of course, each different species of plant needed different care and special atten- tion, and the watering pot or hose could hardly be dispensed with. But at the present time, when there are houses and ranges of houses of one kind of plant; when conditions are equal or as nearly equal as it is possible to get them, this has been changed, and a watering ma- chine can be applied and the labor of watering, which formerly took hours, can now be done in so many minutes, with less waste of water than with the hose and with more equality in its distribu- tion. Proof Required. The question will, of course, be asked, what have I to prove the above asser- tions? And I must admit it is a natural question, as talk is cheap, and facts are what we want in this year 1907. Gold bricks are good things for the con man and we can hardly be blamed for being skeptical about things which are not en- tirely clear to us and with which we are unfamiliar. But is it fair to allow prejudice to put a brake on improve- ment? When every minute of time saved is money in our pocket, and when a labor, which now must be attended to by the most experienced, can be mechanically ar- ranged so that, after it has been studied out to the satisfaction of the proprietor, he can give his instructions, so that water is given in just the amounts he has by experience found best for the good of the plants. Practical Experiments. I have been asked to give my experi- ence up to date, and will say that I, at first, started using a watering system, for syringing palms, by running a pipe along underneath the plants in the center of the bench, using my patent nozzles which produce a sheet of water in fan shape so that, when these nozzles are spaced along the pipe they will produce a sheet of water the full length of the pipe. A pipe is connected with a swivel wheel so it can be turned so that, if soil only should be watered, the nozzles can be turned downward, wetting only the soil, and by turning the nozzles upward the foliage can be sprayed. In this way I was able to water or syringe my palms when required with a saving of, at least, ninety per cent of time and labor. I then used the system for watering Bos- ton ferns, suspended overhead in the greenhouse, hanging a plant directly under each nozzle so that, by turning on the water just a little, the water will come from the nozzle in a solid stream and flow into the pot, just as much as is wanted, causing only the drip from the water that runs through the soil, while with a hose, at least ninety per cent of the water would drop on to the plants below. Then, by turning on full pressure, the plants can also be sprayed or syringed. In this way I have been enabled to grow double the amount of stock in my palm houses and with less labor than previously used. I now have a large portion of our two ranges of palm and fern houses equipped, both at our Lake View place and at Edgebrook, and am working on more lines right along, as I find the time saved will pay for the outlay in a short time. As Applied to Vegetables. The next experiment I made was in Davis Bros.' cucumber houses at Au- rora, 111., and I quote you the following from a letter: "It saves ninety per cent of our watering labor. We now have the Wittbold system in all houses. Do the watering in an hour which for- merly took twelve hours and do better work. We are recommending the sys- tem to our friends." I wish to say that Mr. Davis is using it now for the sec- ond winter and is much pleased. The next experiment was in lettuce at Chamberlain & Bunker's, Fremont, Mich., who are large vegetable growers, and the letters I have received from these gentlemen have given me much en- couragement. I only mention these ^o places as a few facts; more woiJ^d'only tire you and would only be a-reftetition of what these gentlemen have s&id. You gentlemen are representative carnation growls, and I wish to ask, if a water- ing system can be applied in palm and fern houses, in cucumber and lettuce '^mr 706 The Weekly Rorists' Review* jANUAltV 24, 1007. houses, can it not also be applied in oar- nation houses? The pipes and nozzles can be so placed that you can water from underneath the plants; that you only water the soil, or spray upward from underneath the plants, or downward from above, just as the case may require. Value to Carnations. I am not a carnation grower. But from what experience i have had in other lines, 1 say it can be done, and it only needs some one to take up the idea with determination to overcome what obstacles are in the way. I firmly believe that mechanical watering is prac- tical and will save thousands upon thou- sands of dollars every year in labor to the greenhouse men when it is under- stood, and will do better work than can be done in any other way. Let me sug- gest that steps be taken by the American Carnation Society to determine the value of mechanical watering by experiment- ing or otherwise during the coming year, so that more definite reports can be had at the next meeting. McKINLEY DAY. I would respectfully call the attention of the carnation growers and florists to the recurrence of McKinley day, Janu- ary 29, and would emphasize and en- dorse the comments appearing in recent issues of the trade papers. The trade is responsible for the suc- cess or failure of this day, dedicated to the expression of respect for our mar- tyred president. Far better lose your entire day's stock, or absolutely donate it to the public, than to antagonize this awakening sentiment of the American public by exorbitant and prohibitive prices for President McKinley 's favorite and beloved flower on this coming anni- versary of his birth. It is to your interest that the public should know of this day. There is not a newspaper in this country that will not give space referring to and com- menting upon.it. A discriminating distribution of a few carnations, either white, red or pink, will emphasize the significance of the day, and the wearers will excel themselves in arousing the dormant sentiment of their friends and acquaintances. And, lastly, and most important, con- tribute $1 or more, if you can, to the Florists' Memorial Fund for the Mc- Kinley nionumert, and receive by return mail a handsome steel engraved certifi- cate. Then place this in a prominent place on January 29, thereby offsetting, to a uegree, any impression of selfishness on your part, in a public movement that benefits your business. H. M. Altick, Chairman. PROPAGATING. As 1 said in my last, it is time to be- gin taking our stock for next year, and this is a matter that needs par- ticular care; I think even more with violets than with some other kinds of stock, for some kinds of plants are more hardy and disease-resistant. But the person who thinks that he can take his cuttings from the stock as it runs in the houses, be he ever so good a grower, will sooner or later — and it is generally sooner — find that his stock is deteriorat- ing. In looking for the plants that you are to propagate from, reject all such as are at all stunted, or in any way run down in health, or those that did not produce first-class bloom as regards size, color, freedom, odor, etc. Choose only such as are in first-class order. They will now, as the days brighten, begin to feel the influences of spring and will be throwing off many nice, thrifty shoots that will make just the kind of stock you will wish. Many of those will already be throwing out little white roots from the shade and moisture afforded by the parent clump. When removing these cuttings it i>i well to take off only a few at a time and throw them, as taken, into a pail ol clean, cool water, so that they have no chance to wilt. Then, when you have enough for two or three flats, trim, and prick out at once. Of course your soil should have beeii prepared some weeks ago and should b • composed of well-rotted sod wth about one-fifth of good, rotted manure, prefer- ably from the cow stable, if ybu have it and screened, so as to hayi no straw! leaves, or stones in it. One? of the grea points in having your soil ready, is hav- ing the moisture right; not too dry, ov too wet, as there is nothing spoils soil so quickly as handling it when too wet. Always have your ^ats of uniforn, size, for more reasons ^lan one; the first being that it economizes room in shelf- ing ; then, another, in taking tally of stock, you will have the same number of plants in each. We have found the size recommended several years ago by Professor Galloway to be very handy and economical aS re- gards material. This lets you cut your lath, which you use for sides and bot- tom, once in two. You will want inch pine stuff for the ends and this should be three inches wide and about thirteen or fourteen inches long, or whatever will best fit the places you have for the flats when filled. The two outside laths should be first nailed on and then you can spread and space the rest between them, leaving a crack between each of, say, about a quarter of an inch. This is for drainage and air and is best covered with damp sphagnum moss when you get ready to fill with soil to keep it from going through the cracks. Fill the flats full of soil and firm it well before pricking out the cuttings. They will need careful watering and shading, like all cuttings, for several days. Then the shading can be gradu- ally removed as they get established. This method of putting them directly into the soil, in the flats, saves time; but Campion Toreador, a Seedling of Prosperity^ Grown by H. Weber & Sons Co., Oaklandt Md. January 24, 1907. The Weekly Rorists' Review. 707 Carnation Cuttings at Peter Reinberg^s, Chicago* you cannot always spare the room for the flats so early in the season. In that case the cuttings will have to be put into the propagating bed until rooted. But if you have to do so, be sure and have the propagating bed thoroughly cleaned out and filled with fresh new sand; and it is best to never use it but once at that. K. E. Shuphelt. BREEDING GLADIOLI. [A sj-nopsla of a paper by H. H. Groff, Sim- ooe. Out., read before the American Breeders' Association, January 18, 1907.] As an interested amateur breeder of animated life since boyhood, as well as an enthusiastic horticulturist, the modern knowledge of the similarity of the biol- ogy of plants and animals found me with an open and receptive mind, and as appealing more strongly to the imag- ination than work on animate life, I abandoned the latter, and, to the ex- clusion of almost every other interest, confined my activity to one plant, the gladiolus, with such effect that in over fifteen years I never lost one day during the breeding season. This persistent and continuous activity, with the use of the best material obtainable from all out- side sources, is the price of the success that I am able to claim in the interest of civilization and horticultural science. For an unknown man, in an obscure town, in a country of slandered climate, to bring a semi-tropical plant to Can- ada, as the foundation for a strain of world-wide recognition, seemed the height of folly and a deliberate courting of failure and loss, and it did not take me long to discover that to secure more than partial success meant a severe and persistent fight. Conditions of Work. I found the conditions of soil and climate admirable, and the absence of long continued periods of atmospheric humidity most congenial to the work of successful crossing. Although the sea- son for maturing late crosses is unfa- vorable, I overcame this diflSculty in se- curing the admixture of midseason and late flowering types by cutting the im- mature seed spikes on the first threat- ened frost, and maturing in water a month later — a process requiring much time and trouble — but as pollen from young early flowering types (which bloom till frost) was used, I soon had the valued characteristics of the later flowering sections, available for normal use at a more favorable season, a vic- tory over adverse conditions, of incal- culable value. Again, I found that our clear, dry at- mosphere, so favorable to success in crossing, also frequently wilted the flowers; an effect not only making rapid work impossible, but most prejudicial to the "taking" of crosses so made. This difficulty I overcame by daily carrying the pollen over until the fol- lowing dawn, when I found that the work could not only be accomplished in far less time, but that the percentage of successful crosses was most materially increased. The two foregoing original practices are the result of a struggle for control, and as I have never heard of them being advised, I may include them in this record of results. Points for Plant Breeders. The time allotted for this address will not permit me to report more than a few of the points that I am sure will be valued by plant breeders. When I began this work, over fifteen years ago, although Europe had been engaged on it for 100 years, the ground was only broken. Varieties lacked vital- ity, reproductive powers and adaptability to changed conditions, and my first work covered a complete series of violent out- crosses in which every section was made use of to bring the desirable features possessed by each under control for trans- mission in cross-breeding. From the foundation work of those first years, by the aid of selected types as sires, ac- cording to the practice of animal breed- ers, has this control been handed down with continuous yearly progression to the past season. In America the flower was discred- ited, and the demand so influenced by its lack of quality, value and beauty that growers thought of allowing large blocks to freeze in the fields with the view of stiffening the market — certainly not a very progressive idea. The advent of my new hybrids changed all this, and the exhibits made at the Pan-American Ex- position, where they were awarded a gold medal, and at the St. Louis World's Fair, where they secured the grand prize, not only repopularized the flower, but exercised a favorable reflex influence on existing low grade stocks. Thus no ex- isting acreage has been displaced, but tlie values have been improved, with over 100 acres of the highest quality in the world added to this country, of such ex- cellence as to enforce commercial recog- nition throughout the civilized world. Surely this may be included in the record of results. My practice has proven that not only can the scientific worker do all that he may sanely plan to do, but he will find that from year to year mutations will ap- pear beyond the range of the area of his expectations, of such progressive value that he will be led onward by an ever lengthening and broadening horizon — be- yond the conception of the human mind. The past season has afforded an 708 The Weekly Florists' Review Jaxcabx 24, 1907. increased number of proofs as to the correctness of the system of breeding ad- vocated by me. I repeatedly collected in the field new varieties of special merit, supposing them to be the same, until compared in detail, -when the transmitted parental characteristics of each collec- tion were distinctly traceable, but with suflficient variation as to make each va- riety valuable, each bearing distinctive qualities of value under the diverse cul- tural conditions to which they inevitably must be subjected. It is not easy for me to illustrate to you by comparative description the high- est points of results claimed by me. If you were all gladiolus experts it would be much easier to secure your apprecia- tion. One effective illustration will as- sist, however. Colors Most in Demand. During the earlier years of my experi- ence in securing commercial efficiency the invariable cry was, "send no red shades." In 1905 Mr. Cowee was of- fered $5 for a single corm, and I was offered $10 for one of the same variety — a brilliant red — both offers being from amateurs of moderate means, and I may say that no such offer was ever made to me for a variety of any other color. A single spike of six flowers measures one foot wide by two in length, and is so effective as to center attraction in a field of thousands of other varieties. This va- riety is being rapidly multiplied for early introduction, but you will be interested in learning that I have types of later origin that will supersede it in due time. You will, of course, expect this additional result. The commercial demand for high class lights has now been filled by the thou- sands of new varieties originated by me during the first ten years of my work. Selections bred from this material have given me thousands of newer and more advanced types, which have been crossed and multiplied during the past five years for future introduction, and will consti- tute as marked and distinct an advance as did those sliown at the expositions re- ferred to. The value of some of these is beyond estimate. The present commercial yellow is defi- cient in color, quality and multiplying qualities. This need will shortly be filled by thousands of new varieties developed by me under the same practice that pro- duced the new light section, all varieties of equal and greater quality than the few novelties issuing from European sources under name. All other desirable colors are receiving the same attention and improvement by the same system of selected breeding. Among all of these are remarkable types of promise beyond my expectations, in- dividual varieties of such special quali- ties as to be beyond description for want of adequate comparison — suflficient to en- ^ ^S s ^ ^ > ^*;-J»Wii* RBBi ' ^:>i^»» ."< ttffm*'^ ff wNii^4< ifJ.^fcSR^ J^^B^a 'cf jf^^^^ V^kj^^^?J^^B7flfl^9Q^^^^^K||nj^^^^^H|^^H Wm- ^ H^^^ a|^^j^^| i^M4^^ n^p aiivi ^9^^^i^^SPi«Sft ritfV I^^BB ^^ s^^lHI Jii^^^^B ^9 Greenhouse Bench Equipped with the Heim Carnation Support. sure your comprehension and apprecia- tion of these results. I have referred to our geographical ad- vantages, but these are by no means suffi- cient for my personal realization of the best commercial results. Although my season is nearly a month longer than even the northern part of our peninsula, it is fully a month too short for the full maturing of the cormels of many valua- ble and useful varieties developed from late maturing material. Origin of America. The variety named America, errone- ously classified as Childsi by the pur- chaser and introduced under that name, has been grown and sold by me in col- lections for the past ten years. Its an- nual cormel production is from 2,000 to 5,000 per cent, but with me a compara- tively small percentage mature annually. In this state (Ohio), however, the con- ditions are more favorable and its multi- plication much more rapid in consequence. Of course such experiences are to be ex- pected in work on a semi-tropical plant, and afford proof of my public conten- tion on this point, many years ago, be- fore this experience proved the correct- ness of my then expressed theory. While I have knowledge of many similar expe- riences, the naming of this one of my hybrids America has made that variety useful as an illustration of a scientific fact. Scientific Record. As I ha\e referred to the fact of scien- tific results, I beg to record: That crossing from varieties tending to double has induced the production of twin corms from single seeds. That bud variation, partial the first season and complete the second, has pro- duced a fixed new type, sporting from one of apparent equal fixity. That atavism of esthetic and commer- cial value results from the intercrossing of advanced types of diverse parental ex- traction, the flower form of the iris, a plant of the same natural order, having been brought from the ages long past and replacing the normal form of that of the original Species. That racial qualities are as potent and capable of direction in breeding for spe- cific results in plant as in animal life. That no simple or limited crossing can produce the value, quality and satisfac- tion equal to those resulting from unlim- ited removals from the wild species on the lines of scientific selection, guided by learned human intelligence. That the attainment of the highest suc- cess in results is easily secured by culti- vation of the perception, some learning, an open mind, use of the best material, and unlimited work. Springfield, III. — W. C. Garrard, sec- retary of the State Board of Agricul- ture, announces that the state fair for 1907 will be held at Springfield Septem- ber 27 to October 5. It is to be "the greatest fair on earth." Cleveland, O. — Plans are under way for a large gladiolus exhibition to be held at Euclid Beach during August, when 50,000 gladiolus spikes are expected to be shown. Prizes will be offered to local growers. Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y., has promised a large display. Establishment of C C Wonneman, Mexico, Mo. Jaxuaby 24, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review* 70? PROPAGATION BY GRAFTING. After the stock has been placed in the grafting case the real work pertaining to success begins. This consists of watch- fulness and careful observation, which tnust be insistent. The sand or ashes on which the pots rest must be thoroughly moist and the soil in the pots medium wet. The plants should then receive a sprinkling with a nozzle which makes a very fine spray and the case should be closed immediately afterwards. In ordinary cases the plants require no more moisture for the first five or six days; neither do they require any venti- lation. To get rid of any superfluous moisture it is a good plan to remove the sashes for a few moments night and morning. This also freshens the air and if carefully performed will result in no injury to the plants. If the sashes are forgotten and left open too long, ruin will be the result. I need scarcely add that during this period the plants must be carefully shaded and the state of the stock examined, at least twice a day, to see if there is a sufficiency or excess of moisture in the case. If there are signs of wilting of the foliage it is usually due to too dry an atmosphere, while if the moisture is excessive the leaves have a droopy and saturated appearance and lose color. If the moisture is excessive a thin wedge of wood inserted below the sash will keep it even ; but this requires constant watch- ing, especially during dry and breezy weather, and may require altering several times a day in order to keep conditions right. The temperature during this stage and until the union has formed should be about 70 degrees, which may even rise to 75 degrees during bright weather. As soon as the callus is formed the case will require a little ventilation; but this must be administered very carefully, keeping a strict watch on results and gradually increasing the supply as cir- cumstances demand. By carefully study- ing conditions and gradually increasing the amount of air given, the sashes can •be entirely removed in about twenty-five days when the plants can be removed to the bench. Even after they are on the bench they will require extra care in watering, ventilation and especially in shading for a week or two in order to make a real success. After treatment is little different from •that accorded own .root stock, with the -exception that as the bark begins to swell the tying material should be exam- ined to see that it does not cut into the bark; and if any suckers make their appearance they should be removed at once. BiBES. TROUBLE WITH ROSES. We are sending you two rose plants, out of a house that was in excellent condition until six weeks ago. We have treated them the same as in previous years, and have always had good suc- cess. Can you tell us what the trouble is? This trouble seems to be scattered all through the house. Probably one- fifth of the plants are affected. Could it be clubroot? A. H. After a careful and very critical examination of these plants I can find no trace of any disease and certainly no sign of clubroot or eel-worm. The trouble seems to arise from erratic temperature, ventilating and watering, which would account for the low vitality they possess. Keep a strict watch on the night tem- perature, which should be 56 degrees to 58 degrees, allowing a range of 15 degrees to 20 degrees rise during day- time, according to condition of weather. Be careful not to allow the benches to become dry at the bottom and also exer- cise caution not to ov'erwater. With a little care and patience and with in- creased sunshine they will outgrow this in a short time. It would be best not to try feeding for some time till they show signs of return- ing health. Eibes. SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. The attendance at the January meet- ing of the Springfield Florists ' Club was good, considering the extremely unsea- sonable wet weather which has prevailed for several weeks. On the department store question, which had been discussed and referred to a committee at a previous meeting, Charles Unglaub reported progress, with a prospect of arriving at a reasonably satisfactory solution. The subject for the meeting being "Credit," the paper of S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, on "Our Credit Sys- tem, its Uses and Abuses," was read by George H. Mellen, from The Review of January 3, 1907. The general dis- cussion of the subject which followed indicated a sentiment favorable to a plan somewhat along the lines suggested by Mr. Skidelsky. The credit committee, which had been previously appointed, re- ported, through George D. Leedle and George H. Mellen. It favored a more thorough use of the leading mercantile agencies, as well as special trade agen- cies, and was instructed to formulate a plan for listing all delinquent debtors on the books of members doing a whole- sale shipping business. The mail order firms have been put- ting out catalogues rapidly and pro- fusely and the southern trade is opening earlier than usual in quite heavy volume. A pleasing custom of the members is the prompt exchange of new catalogues and price-lists as soon as out of press, and the purchase and exchange of stock between local florists is something con- stant and quite extensive. Ge Dale. NEW YORK. The Market The unexpected has happened; we have actually had a snow storm and a touch of winter, clearing the air of grip mi- crobes and giving humanity another grip on the life line. But in twenty-four hours the rain descended and the floods came and slush and mud were again triumphant. Sunday the sun made an effort to get acquainted with New York. The skies cleared at night and the tem- perature gave signs of hugging zero. Monday we had the fringe of a blizzard. A remarkable condition of things pre- vailed in the wholesale market Saturday evening. Because of the long spell of sunless weather the supply of roses sud- denly diminished and none of good qual- ity were to be had "for love or money." Beauties rose to $12 per dozen and Maids and Brides to $20 per hundred; even higher figures were quoted in some cen- ters. Advance orders were unsafe to book in the evening and I saw one re- tailer panicky with five dozen Beauties and an equal number of the best Maids and Brides on his list for early Sunday delivery and not a flower to be found in the wholsale markets to fill the bill. The market was simply cleaned out, and there was nothing left in roses of top grade at any price. Such a condition seldom has been experienced. ' ' How are prices?" "Good, but what's the use? There's nothing coming in and quoting advance rates only makes dis- satisfaction. ' ' Now that the weather has cleared and the sun is shining, normal shipments will soon again prevail. In the meantime the interdependence of grower, whole- saler and retailer has been pretty thor- oughly and clearly demonstrated. "Use- less each without the other." Carnations will now have their inning. This is carnation convention week and next week we have carnation day in honor of McKinley. Already the whole- sale section has emphasized the fact by handsome placards announcing the oc- casion. It will be observed more every year and a large extra demand is antici- pated. The violet for many days last week was sadly neglected. The weather per- mitted the street merchants to handle them and prices fell to almost summer rates. But as the week closed the sup- ply decreased and values mounted to* 75 cents and $1 again, the latter figure for the fine bunches of 100. There has been some further retro- grading in the price of orchids and gar- denias, as well as valley and lilies of all kinds. There are narcissi, hyacinths and tulips to spare. As to quality, the long spell of dark, damp weather tells the story. Few flowers of any kind have done themselves justice. Roses espe- cially have been most unsatisfactory in color. But the law of averages is never annulled. There will soon be abundant 710 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Januabt 24, 190'7. compensation in better flowers, larger quantities and sunny days, and so the evening-up process may be confidently expected. Various Notes. Many in the business have been se- riously ill. with the prevailing malady, the grip. Few of the wholesalers have escaped. Even youth and cheerfulness cannot prevent it. We hope now we have seen the last of it for the season. Among its prominent victims was the secretary of the New York Horticul- tural Society, also Jos. S. Fenrich. A visit to the plant growers is of especial interest now because it be- tokens the prospective Easter demand and the voice of the public as to the popular taste at that time. To par- ticularize the growers and describe their progress would absorb too much space, for their name is legion. If the Easter of 1907 may be foretold by the quantity and beauty of the stock now in process of preparation within a radius of twenty miles of New York, it will be far in advance of any of its predecessors. Evidently a great ship- ping trade is depended on and a word to the out-of-town buyers may not be out of place. Send your orders or make your selections now. The late birds will not catch many good fat worms. Al- ready many thousands of dollars' worth have been labeled and put aside. This is just a friendly warning. Procrasti- nation is a thief. Get busy. Easter is only ten weeks away. When the auction season opens again shortly, visitors will see a redecorated store at Elliott's that does the artistic management great credit. Next Wednesday, January 30, at 4 p. m., the Nassau County Horticultural Society dinner at the Oriental hotel, Glen Cove, L. I., will be enjoyed, and if it equals that of last year no one can afford to miss it. Arthur Boddington rejoices in the ad- dition of an extra to his home depart- ment. The little lady and the stork came to Yonkers with the holidays. F. W. O. Schmitz, of Prince Bay, has a grand stock of the four popular vari- ties of spiraea for Easter. The demand for Gladstone is growing and the stock is extra fine. H. Frank Darrow is away on a New England trip and reports a prosperous season. His importations are large and include about everything the florist and nurseryman desire. Mr. Carrillo, of Carrillo & Baldwin, the orchid growers and importers, is now in the cattleya district of Brazil, and writes the prospects for fine ship- ments are favorable. The importing season will soon be in full swing and this enterprising house will do its share. The Geller Supply Co. is handling large quantities of wild smilax. The new store is crowded with all the flo- rists' supply requisites and the move to enlarged quarters was wise and profit- able. George Hildebrand, the popular lieu- tenant with John Young, celebrated his wooden wedding at his home on West Thirtieth street last week Wednesday. His many friends attested their good will in wood of every kind and size and the gathering was a large and happy one. Wertheimer :6ros. will move to con- ^venient headquarters at 550 Broadway February 1. The popularity of this firm is constantly increasing. Mr. Schumann, of Perkins & Schu- mann, is an enthusiastic automobilist and was in his element at the big show last week and talking glibly of wheels, sprockets, hubs and sparks. Soon every wholesaler will have his auto to ensure prompt deliveries and every retailer who aspires has one now and couldn't get along without it. Perkins & Schu- mann expect to increase the size of their store shortly, more room being already a necessity. The Twenty-eighth street store of Thos. Young, Jr., had a notable decora- tion at Judge McCall's, on Eighty-sixth street, last week, the halls, parlors, li- brary and dining-room each having its distinct effect with American Beauty, Chatenay, Killarney, Robert Craig and violets. Gfeorge M. Geraghty is the decorator. The same firm had charge of the family orders for the Dugan funeral, with a casket cover of white roses, and nine large floral pieces, in- cluding orchid and violet wreaths and a pillow of Chatenay and valley. J. K. Allen does not allow even grip to interfere with his invariable nine- teen-year-old rule of six o'clock every morning. He has fully recovered and hasn't missed a day in the memory of the wholesale section. Ford Bros, show with commendable pride a great daily cut of Enchantress and other popular carnations from the big establishment of Henry Hession, of Flatbush. Flatbush should really be renamed Carnationville, when the great growers of the flower are deservedly considered. B. S. Slinn says it may be carnation week in Toronto, but the violet is king on the ground floor of the Coogan building. John J. Foley has been ill since be- fore Christmas, at his home, at Madi- son, but now is convalescing. His ill- ness has been severe. Bonnet & Blake, in Brooklyn, are handling grand carnation stock from John May and their Long Island grow- ers and some of the finest roses grown in Madison. The demise of the venerable James Mallon, in Brooklyn, is reported in the obituary column on another page. Siebrecht & Son are cutting fine stock of Chatenay, Killarney, Richmond and Kate Moulton roses from their own greenhouses, also valley and TriansB and Iselia orchids; of the latter over 300 daily. Joseph Leikens had a decoration Mon- day at the residence of C. M. Schwab, the steel magnate, and on Tuesday of this week the Post-Turnbull wedding at church and house, using lilies, forsythia and Japanese quince, an early harbinger of spring. A. J. Guttraan reports he sold from Saturday until Monday, inclusive, over 80,000 violets. The demand from out of town on Monday was phenomenal. There would seem to be no necessity for forbodings on the part of the violet growers up the Hudson. The effort made by some of the unposted editors of the local press of Rhinebeck to disturb the peace of mind of the growers there will fall upon unresponsive ears. The violet industry is but in its swaddling clothes. Robert G. Wilson, of Brooklyn, fills many out-of-town orders for delivery at Brooklyn theaters or homes. He also has many orders for Long Island and New Jersey. His brother Andrew, at Summit N. J., has made a great success of his plant oil. A. Warendorff's window is a dream with its autos of flowers, its trunks oi orchids and baskets of roses. There is never a commonplace display. Young & Nugent add novelty to artis- tic arrangement and unique lighting ef- fects in their Twenty-eighth street win- dows and seem to be always busy. George Cotsonas & Co. find the com- plete store at 50 West Twenty-eighth street none too large for their shipping trade. A largo force is constantly at work here. N. LeCakes & Co. find their stands at the Coogan building and the old Thirty- fourth street market still a necessity, in addition to their headquarters at 53 West Twenty-eighth street, where, in ad- dition to everything in green goods, their cut flower department under the manage- ment of J. J. Foley is steadily develop- ing. New York sent a goodly delegation to Toronto Tuesday night. The cold weather might have been expected; it always comes on the week selected for the carnation convention. J. Austin Shaw. DENVER. The Market. Trade has not been any too strong in some lines, while in others it has been good. We have had a few days of dark weather, which had a bad effect on roses. It seems to have no effect on carnations; consequently there haa been a falling off in prices to some extent. Outside demand is good. City trade is not quite up to the standard. Funeral work was quite a factor; conse- quently white roses were in greater de- mand and were scarce. Long-stemmed Beauties are not overplentiful and the demand is good for all lengths. The quality is fair. Bridesmaid continues- to improve, so that at present some fine stock is to be had. Demand is good. Richmond and Liberty are in crop and are perhaps better than any other roses^ though the demand is not so strong, the call being mostly for white and pink roses. Carnations are in crop with every grower at present and quality in most cases is good, though lack of demand has caused prices to come down to some extent. Violets are good, but not over- plentiful at 75 cents, $1 and $1.25 per hundred. Tulips are coming in, but aa yet are short in stem and there is not much of a variety. Varioui Notes. J. A. Valentine, N. A. Benson and Emil Glauber left Sunday, January 20,. to attend the American Carnation So- ciety convention at Toronto. They go by way of Chicago and Detroit, expect- ing to visit other of the eastern cities before their return, in about three weeks. The youngest daughter of C. J. David, the north side florist, died of heart trouble last week, the funeral occurring Friday. A joint convention of the State Board of Horticulture and the Colorado State Horticultural Society will be held January 25 and 26, in the Chamber of Commerce in this city.

The Market Business, with some of the stores, has been quiet, excepting a few good orders of carnations that were furnished each day for the implement dealers, who held their annual convention here last week. These carnations were given to the out- of-town visitors. There was quite a large crowd of them and the hotels were filled to their utmost capacity. The first floor of the convention hall was occupied by exhibits of the implement men and the upper floor by the poultry show. The cackling of the hens and the crowing of the big roosters made music in the air. The weather has been everything but pleasant, with rain, sleet and snow. On account of so much cloudy weather, stock has been poor and not very plentiful. Various Notes. ^ The new location and the prosperous business of the Alpha Floral Co. must have caused its proprietor. Alpha Elber- field, to consider seriously that it is not good to be alone in this world, so he has taken unto himself a wife. He was married Thursday evening, January 17, to Miss Emma Foulke, who has been in his employ for over a year. The happy couple left immediately for Chicago on their honeymoon. The event was quite a surprise to many, but that is what Mr. Elberfield is in the habit of doing, sur- prising people. We all wish them happi- ness and success. Arthur Newell and Samuel Murray left Monday, January 14, for Mexico, where the Mystic Shriners are holding their conclave this week. A special feature of the conclave will be the conferring of the Shriner's degree upon President Diaz of Mexico. As Mr. Newell and Mr. Murray are both Shriners we are sure that they will have an enjoyable time. They will be gone about three weeks. Lawrence Schwager is with us again in the business. He is now manager for the Grand Avenue Cut Flower Co., lo- cated at the comer of Thirteenth street and Grand avenue, where "William Bas- tian was in business. C. Aangeenbrug, of Warnaar & Co., Sassenheim, Holland; A. Currie, Jr., of Currie Bros. Co., of Milwaukee, and Mr. Augspurger, of D. U. Augspurger & Sops, of Peoria, 111., were in the city since our last report. W. H. H. THE DEATH ROLL. Wilton Junction, Ia. — Mailing lists should be corrected to read E. Friederich- sen & Sons. They succeeded Friederichsen Bros, three years ago and request the change, as the old name is still appearing in trade lists. James Mallon. James Mallon, known in Brooklyn, N. Y., for over fifty years as a florist, and proprietor of the store at Willoughby and Fulton streets, died January 19. Mr. Mallon had been ill for about two weeks and his death was due to a com- plication of diseases superinduced by old age, he having recently passed his sev- enty-fifth year. Mr. Mallon came to this country at the age of 15, with his parents, from County Tyrone, Ireland. His father became engaged in the florists' business, and soon turned it over to the younger man, who started the store at Fulton and Wil- loughby streets. He later established greenhouses at 20 Smith street and for years was known as the father of the business in the city. About twelve years ago, because of infirmities, he was com- pelled to give up active business and he turned the store over to his two sons, John P. and Joseph F. Mallon, who have conducted it since. Although Mr. Mallon did not take an active part, he was at the place of busi- ness every day, and during the rush of Christmas week he worked as much as sixteen hours a day. The exertions then, according to the physicians who have attended him, were largely responsible for his weakened condition when attacked by the fatal illness. Mr. Mallon was married to Miss Bridget Seanlon and they had four chil- dren, who now survive. Mrs. Mallon 's death occurred little more than a year ago. Beside the two sons who have taken their father's place in the busi- ness, they had two daughters — Mrs. Mary Fuery and Mrs. A. G. Piggott. Since he first came to this country Mr. Mallon has taken a great interest in poli- tics, although he has never held office. His place at Willoughby and Fulton streets was the rendezvous for many of the most prominent men of the city, and to many of them has he proved an adviser, whose words were well worth heeding. The funeral was a large one and there were many flowers. The death on Saturday, January 19, of the venerable James Mallon, of Brooklyn, one of the oldest and best known florists of the country, was not wholly unexpected, as he has been se- verely ill since New Year's. He was a man of wonderful energy and devo- tion to the work he loved so well and to the end his interest was unabated. His reminiscences made a visit to the store where he so long presided, always interesting, and his name and record are a credit to the profession and a proud heritage for those who follow him. His two sons, John and James, Jr., who have long managed the exten- sive business with their headquarters at the historic corner of Fulton and Willoughby streets, will continue it as usual. Mr. Mallon was highly esteemed by all who knew him and many hand- some floral tributes attested the sym- pathy and respect of the trade. J. Austin Shaw. Geors:e F. Fabyan. George F. Fabyan, of Brookline, Mass., who died January 18, was a di- rector of the Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society and a generous supporter of that society. The magnificent cycla- mens, calceolarias, pelargoniums and other plants grown by James Stuart, his head gardener, have been features at the exhibitions for several years. At the funeral January 21 there was a magnificent display of flowers. Mrs. R. C. Hooper. Horticulture in Massachusetts lost another generous patron in the death of Mrs. K. C. Hooper, of Boston, Janu- ary 13. The deceased lady was a life member of the Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society and was also a strong supporter of the North Shore Horticul- tural Society. The floral tributes at the funeral, in Arlington street church, January 16, were the most beautiful and costly seen in Boston for years. Orchids were extensively used. Cattleya Trianse, white forms of Ltelia anceps and Phalajnopsis amabilis and lily of the valley with Adiantum Farleyense formed the casket cover. Joseph Mevius. Joseph Mevius, official city gardener of Hoboken, N. J., for thirty years, died January 16 at his home, 112 Washington street, at the age of 88. It is said he liked his job so well that he often went to work among his flower beds around the city hall at 4 o'clock in the morn- ing, five or six hours before the other city officials put in an appearance. James Braik. By the sudden death of James Braik the park board of Buffalo loses one of its oldest officials and the city one of its most untiring public servants. Mr. Braik had been connected with the park system of Buffalo for nearly twenty years. He was appointed assistant su- perintendent of parks, the position he held at the time of his death, by the late William McMillan. Though Mr. Braik had suffered an attack of rheumatism re- cently, he seemed to recover from it and resumed his work. On the morning of his death he finished and sent in his an- nual requisition for spring flowers and flower seeds. A few minutes after Sec- retary Selkirk had received the requisi- tion, a telephone message announced the sudden death of Mr. Braik. Mr. Braik was a native of Scotland. He was 58 years old. Before coming to this country he served in the Gordon Highlanders. When the Gordon High- landers Company of this city was organ- ized, he was made its first captain. He was very well known in Scottish circles. Mr. Braik is survived by his wife. There were no children. At a special meeting of the Buffalo Florists' Club, the following resolutions were adopted: That we haTe heard with profound sorrow of the death of our esteemed associate, James Braik. His long and faithful work in the parks of our city and his upright character have en- deared him to his fellow workmen and to the citizens of Buffalo. In his death the city loses a faithful, com- petent and enthusiastic servant, and bis associ- ates a stanch friend. Kingston, Ont. — The Kingston Horti- cultural Society has decided to hold a flower show in September. Oklahoma City, Okla. — The Board of Park Commissioners has allowed money for the construction of a green- house 26x100. The stock is to be used to beautify the Oklahoma City park sys- tem, which consists of Wheeler park. Stiles park. Military park and Eiverside park. 7J2 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 24, 1907. m is printed Wednesday evening and mailed early Thursday morning.

THE TRADE PAPER. Dear Florists ' Eeview : — Enclosed please lind the dollar to renew my sub- scription. I find great pleasure and profit in reading the Review. It is the only paper in which I really enjoy read- ing the advertisements. One reason is that I find money in them. But one of the greatest helps I get from the Review is enthusiasm. It is hard to do work that no one else is doing in your vicin- ity. Isolated florists in small places are very apt to become moss-grown, or if they do not, their stock does, and there is nothing like a good, live paper to brighten them up. For twenty-one years I have kept ac- count of my sales, and last year I broke all my previous records in amount of business and profit, but I hope to do even better this year. Everything looks bright, but I am still learning and hope always to be. Yours for success, A. Wakefield. Waterville, N. Y., January 15, 1907. CHHYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. The president of the Chrysanthemum Society of America, on assuming of&ce, will be glad to consider any suggestions which may appear to be for the good of the society. Lovers of the autumn queen are invited to communicate their ideas, and the hearty cooperation of every member of the society is most de- sirable for the accomplishment of the success which should be ours. The year is before us, with all its grand possibil- ities. Let each one contribute his share of interest, and the good results will be gratifying to us all. Let there be no drones in the hive of the C. S. A. during the year of 1907. David Frasee, Sec'y. THE READERS' CORNER. Cleaning Greenhouse Glass. I notice in the Review of January 17 that J. P. H. wants to clean the roof of his greenhouses and has tried lye and soap powder with no effect. I know of one thing that will clean it, with no bad effects if done right. Get a carboy of muriatic acid, as in quantity it is gen- erally stronger. Use a wooden pail. Then start with a quart to one paalful of hot water and keep adding the acid until you can see the results. Get a long pole and a bunch of rags on the end, to answer as a mop. Then keep going over the glass, giving the acid time to eat up the dirt. Have the hose ready for a washdown. If it proves too weak, use stronger acid and throw on some salt. That will hold it and make a slush. Let it stand a while, or keep rubbing, then wash off. I have used the pure acid and covered twenty feet of the roof at a time, salt- ing as I went along. It will remove any old thing and by attention will do little harm to the wood, paint or putty. Keep plenty of water running in the gutter, to take the acid away. Also look out for plants, such as palms, etc., as a single drop will burn badly. Wilson M. Tipladt. In regard to J. P. H. wanting to know how to clean greenhouse glass, I can give him a bit of information that will probably be appreciated by a good many who have smoky glass to clean. What I have used is muriatic acid. Use one gallon of acid to four gallons of water. You can put it on with a stick with rags tied to it; but the best way is to get a pair of rubber gloves and get right on the glass and put it on by hand. The acid will not affect the rubber, but it would your hands. You can leave the acid on the glass about fifteen minutes then wash it off and you will find your glass as clear as crystal. If you have any paint on the glass you want to use strong lye first, as the acid will not affect the paint, nor will the lye affect the smoke. I have soaked smoky glass in lye for two weeks and the only way you can get it clean is with salt and water, which I used to use before I caught on to the acid. Our worthy brother, W. S., will kindly excuse me for saying that lye will not remove smoke. I am talking about the dirty, greasy Chicago soft coal smoke, and if he haa any smoked glass I wish he would try the acid and let us know how he likes it. You can buy the acid of any wholesale druggist. It comes about ten gallons put up in a glass bot- tle. The price in (Chicago is 21 cehts per gallon. They charge $1.50 extra for the bottle. Always keep your acid in a cool place and never put it in anything but wooden pails. J. B. COUNCIL OF HORTICULTURE. The first installment of the 1907 serv- ice of the National Council of Horticul- ture's press bureau was distributed the current week by James Burdett, 172d W. One Hundred and Fourth place, Chi- cago, to a greatly enlarged mailing list. It consisted of four articles prepared by volunteers under the direction of Prof. H. C. Iri-sh, secretary of the society, as follows: "The Modern Gladiolus, "^ "Poppies," "Designing a Planting Scheme," and "Evergreens for Orna- ment. ' ' It is earnestly desired that the names of newspapers to which contributors wish this service to be sent, or which express a desire for the service, be sent to Mr. Burdett, in order to make the mailing list as efRcient as possible. As soon as possible a schedule of articles, with the dates on which they are to be distrib- uted, will be issued for the benefit of those who wish to advertise. As it has been suggested by some con- tributors to the council's press service that they would like to advertise in some of the newspapers using the serv- ice, the following list is issued of news- papers that used the service last year and have expressed themselves as wishing to have it continued: The News League of Ohio, Including DaytoB Dally News and Springfield Dally News; Louis- ville Times; Spokane (Wash.) Spokesman-Re- view; Madison (Wis.) Democrat, and the string of papers served by it with plate mutter; St. Louis Globe-Democrat, semi-weekly edition; St. Louis Star-Cbronlcle; Cleveland Press, anfl about thirty other papers served by the News- paper Enterprise Association of Cleveland; Phll- delphla Evening Bulletin; Memphis Commer- cial-Appeal; Chicago Tribune; Chicago Daily News; Washington Evening Star; Worcester (Mass.) Evening Gazette; Brooklyn Dally Eagle: Grand Rapids (Mich.) Herald; Ohio State Jour- nal, Columbus, O.; Kansas City Star; Milwau- kee Journal; Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin; The News, Buffalo; Cincinnati Gazette, published by Commercial Tribune Co.; Twentieth Century Farmer, weekly publication of the Omaha Bee, and Minneapolis Tribune. The Kellogg Newspaper Co., Chicago; the American Newspaper Union, New York, and the Chicago Newspaper Union, Chicago, have sup- plied their subscribers, numbering several thou- sands, which they have classified in various liste covering certain territory.

Mention The ReTlew when yon write. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market The weather has been the sole topic of conversation in the last week. For three days following last report it rained al- most continuously. The only time the sun came out it put the plants in a Turk- ish bath. The temperature was around 60 degrees Saturday afternoon and since January 1 we have had 220 degrees of excess heat. Saturday night winter came and the temperature fell to within 8 de- grees of zero in less than twelve hours. At the same time the wind attained a velocity of fifty-five miles an hour. The long spell of dark weather caused the plants to stand practically still. The result was particularly manifest in the rose market, good roses becoming quite scarce and advancing in price. The call for funeral work made an active demand for shorts and everything in the rose line moved off quickly. White roses were diflBcult to procure all last week and there is no change this week. The sudden cold did not do much toward retarding the cut, for the crop was about the lowest ebb anyway, but it gave the growers a chance to test the heating apparatus. A 55-mile breeze at 8 degrees above zero, with houses none too well glazed, is no joke. Conditions are not good for large pro- duction, especially in the rose line, for some time to come. The plants are too soft to respond quickly to better grow- ing conditions; indeed, strong sun would be likely to do much damage in the weakened condition of the stock. Carnations are in a little better shape and are producing more freely than roses. There is an excellent call for white, so that it is not always possible to supply these. Enchantress is more abundant than any other and sells well. Lawson is not the color mostly wanted and is the last to go. Considerable quantities of tulips now are available. There are plenty of white and a few red and yellow are seen. Paper Whites are abundant. Callas are in larger supply and occasionally con- siderable quantities of Harrisii are seen. Freesia has been in for two or three weeks, but is not yet abundant enough so that it cuts much figure. Jonquils clean up quickly, but there is enough valley. The receipts of violets are less than usual at this season, but there are enough to meet all needs. Poinsettias still are seen in some quantity but are poor and do not sell. There is an excellent demand for bunched greens. Ferns are causing much trouble. Benthey^s to Move. The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. has closed a lease for new quarters on the- second floor of the Atlas block, the large corner room, No. 202, a space the agents have not heretofore been willing to rent for florists' purposes. The room is ample in size, glass on the two street sides and on the same floor with six other whole- sale florists. It is a fine location and, the last tenant having vacated, will be occupied at once. As soon as the Benthey-Coatsworth Co. leaves its old quarters the partition will be removed, adding the space to that of the Poehlmann Bros. Co. The Poehl- mann Co. is badly in need of more room and will rearrange the store to take full' advantage of the doubled space. It is expected to have all the changes made in time to be ready for the Easter rush and the heavy spring cuts. The Toronto Party. The Chicago party to the Toronto con- vention pulled out twenty minutes late on a cold afternoon Tuesday. Those in the special car were C. L. Washburn, P. J. Hauswirth, Mrs. Hauswirth, George Asmus, August Poehlmann, Adolph Poehlmann and J. S. Wilson, Chicago; A. S. Halsted, Belleville, 111.; N. Zwei- fel and J. E. Pollworth, Milwaukee; A. T. Pyfer, Peter Olsem and A. F. Lon- gren, Joliet. Leonard Kill and Mrs, Kill had gone in advance, Sunday evening. At Detroit the party was joined by the Cincinnati and Detroit delegations, making a full carload. Troiibles at Park Ridge. It is reported several of the Park Ridge growers, who are all in a bunch, were in trouble Saturday and Sunday as a result of the heavy rain. Water got into the boiler-pits and put out the fires. It is said August Priebs was bady frozen. Wm. Passvogle had a narrow escape and Wm. Nieman, at Norwood Park, had a close call. Others had to pump to save themselves serious loss. Virginian Narcissi. Stollery Bros, have been cutting Nar- cissus princeps (Ajax) for a fortnight and arc now marketing a nice lot, from bulbs grown in Virginia, by the Ameri- can Bulb Co., from whom they took 25,000 narcissus bulbs last summer.

SO that little space is occupied, but the fact that only one flower per bulb is pro- duced makes it questionable if they are more profitable than the best double- nosed Holland bulbs, which can be had at about the same cost, laid down in Chicago. ' * Big Pete ' ' Sroczyiski, on Harding avenue, also took 25,000 nar- cissi from the same lot as the Stollery's, but has not done well with them. His soil is heavy; the Stollery's light. Also, he has grown them warmer than did StoUery Bros., and a large proportion came blind. Various Notes. It is reported that H. F. Halle, who long has contemplated opening a store on the north side, would like to start in the building on North Halsted street re- cently erected by Albert Fuchs, in which there is a fine corner store; and Mr. Fuchs would like to have Mr. Halle for a tenant. The hitch comes in that when Mr. Fuchs leased his old stand to Henry Koropp for fifty years a clause was in- serted that no other store on the prop- erty was to be let for florists' purposes. Mr. Koropp says he will stand for his rights. Joseph P. Brooks, who has the George Harrer place at Morton Grove, has a fine white sport of Enchantress. He grows The Queen, Lawson, Nelson Fisher, Cru- sader and Enchantress. The stock is in fine shape and there is a heavy crop nearly ready. Joseph Foerster, of George Eeinberg's, repojjts having taken a single order for 10,000 unrooted cuttings of the standard varieties of carnations. H. Wehrman, at Maywood, is perpar- ing to build three new houses, each 26x150, and modernize two old ones. He will replace his hot water system with steam. He grows carnations, shipping to E. C. Amling. February 1 J. H. Grohosky will open a retail store at 1319 Sheridan road, Irving Park. He will do business as the North Shore Flower Shop and will have the backing of his father's greenhouses at 1334 Wolfram street. The Horticultural Society will make another attempt, January 30, to elect officers. It is stated that President E. G. Uihlein is willing to accept reelection, but that W. N. Eudd feels he has earned a rest as secretary and treasurer. Bassett & Washburn report a great run on rooted cuttings of the white car- nation. The Queen, but note that prac- tically every order is from the east. They have sold all the cuttings of this sort they can root in the next six weeks. Adam Zender says both rose and car- nation crops are away below what they should be and that the health of the plants is so weakened by the bad weather that he sees little prospect of a profit this year. He is cutting 3,000 a week fewer roses than a year ago. Fortu- nately, he does not specially "need the money. ' ' Mike Fink, at Twenty-second and Cot- tage Grove avenue, has given up the idea of selling out. His father wants to take him into the growing end but Mr. Fink says he cannot get a fair price for his business because would-be buyers ore afraid of the high rents in that neigh- borhood. Nevertheless, he is having a good trade and making money steadily. N. J. Wietor says that his firm will this year confine its investment in new carnations to 1,000 each of Aristocrat and Winsor. C. W. McKellar has added cyclamen plants to his repertoire, one of his grow- ers having a fine lot to dispose of. A. Elberfield and his wife, of Kansas City, were in town last week on their wedding trip. Kennicott Bros. Co. expects to begin moving the latter end of this week to the new store at 48 Wabash. The improve- ments in the building, made for their benefit, are nearly completed. Wietor Bros, say they find To-bak-ine the best nicotine extract for spraying purposes. Prof. A. C. Beal was up from Urbana last week to push along the work for an appropriation for experiment greenhouses at the state agricultural college. The matter will be before the legislature in March. J. P. Foley is doing a fortnight's term of jury service, his first experience in that line. Henry Payne, at Hinsdale, has put up a new propagating house and is rooting carnations, and mums later, on a libersd scale. E. H. Hunt has opened a new line of Japanese ware and added to the assort- ment of glassware. Orders for Easter are stated to be coming in well. The annual carnation show of the Chi- cago Florists* Club will be held Febru- ary 14. Bring your best blooms. The A. L. Eandall Co. is receiving some fine white lilac from Emil Buett- ner. A. L.

It proves we are giving satisfaction to both seller and buyer. We must have them both in our business. Many times we have been tempted to branch out— but second thought has con- vinced us that it is to our best interests (our interests are the same as those of our shippers and customers) to devote all our time, energy, ability and ambition to pushing one line. ONE IRON IN THE FIRE AT A TIME IS ALL AN 7 MAN CAN KEEP HOTTEST We believe ours is the only wholesale Cut Flower house in the west that has no side lines to take up time and attention. Nothing but the one idea of handling to the best advantage, every flower received— passing the stock on to the retailers in such shape that it gives the best of satisfaction, and at the same time brings the grower its full value. OUR PURPOSE has been, is, and will be, to carry a full line of Cut Flowers— everything the market affords. To maintain our reputation for handling the best average grade of stock in this market. To deal on the most conservative business principles and treat every shipper and every buyer so fairly and squarely that 1907 will show another handsome increase in sales of Cut Flowers alone.

L. Coatsworth has spent several days at home, ill Avith a cold. Poehlniann Bros.

A box of 100, four varieties, was packed and wrapped as for a long shipment and the box stowed away under a counter for two (lays. When opened the flowers were fresh and kept two days longer in a pot of water. In nearly every case sleepy flowers may be laid to heating in transit. DETROIT. The Market Weeks, yes, months of damp, cloudy, changeable Aveather have carried off many old people through grip, j#neu- monia and lung troubles. This has created an unusual demand for funeral work, taxing the store men's resources to the limit. At times were it not for that godsend, the galax leaf, it would be a hard matter to fill orders. Many parties, weddings and gifts for the sick ar« also drawing on the market and, although considerable stock arrives de- spite the unfavorable weather, the de- mand usually exceeds the supply. Beauties are nearly out of the ques- tion. Good Brides are quite plentiful; pink and red are scarce. A few fine La Detroit arrive, but are bought up at once. The prices on roses are from $6 to $14. Carnations are cleaned up well, ex- cept the deep pink, and even these do not go to waste. Enchantress carna- tions are in great demand. Lilies are scarce. Valley is used in large quan- tity and sells at $3 to $5. Paper White narcissi are used extensively, as also are Roman hyacinths. Tulips have put in their appearance, but, excepting white and some pale pink, do not sell well. Violets sell fairly well. The eastern violets are too high priced for this market at this time of the year. With but a few weeks in which to prepare for Easter, and the weather man reluctant about helping the flo- rists, chances are that there will be a scarcity of stock. Of azaleas, roses, miscellaneous plants and bulbous stock, no doubt there will be enough, but lilies will, no doubt, be scarce. The plants are low and in most cases far behind. Qttb Meetin£. The regular meeting of the Detroit Florists' Club was held January 16, with an unusually large attendance. Henry Raus, Richard Went and Henry Becker were elected to membership. The ap- plication for membership of Louis F. Tossy was received. George Rackham made a motion that in case of the death of a member or one of his immediate family it be left in the hands of the president, secretary and treasurer to send a floral emblem, the same to bear a card expressing the club's sympathy. This was approved. The treasurer 's report showed a neat lit- tle balance at the bank. E. A. Scribner was given a vote of thanks for a paper, ' ' The Trials and Tribulations of Detroit Florists." Quite a lengthy discussion followed, during which all of the old troubles were re- hashed, such as slow accounts, boarder plants, price cutting, etc., with the final decision that there is no remedy for these trials, and if there were, others equally as bad or worse would arise. Owing to Thomas Brown's absence O. A. Stoll was appointed a member of the exhibition committee. This commit- tee is making arrangements for a carna- tion show for February 6. Outsiders are requested to send any novelties they may have. Address in care of the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange.

A cut flower commission house was a new ven- ture in this vicinity and the growers, as well as the retailers, hung back for a time, especially as it was under control of a retail florist. But everything was run on the square from the start and this, coupled to Mr. Breitmeyer's good credit, soon put life into the business. It was not long before they outgrew the small quarters and moved to the present location, a light, spacious base- ment at 38 and 40 Broadway. Here will be found every known facility for handling the cut flower and supply busi- ness. They number among their con- signors many of the best growers in this vicinity. * Philip and Fred Breitmeyer need no introduction. "William Dilger, the man- ager, is also well known to the trade. Eobert M. Rahaley has been with the firm as bookkeeper and general utility man for some time and, through good business ability and hard work, has climbed up the ladder and is now acting manager, as Mr. Dilger is busy else- where. Variotts Notes. Ed Beard suffered a severe attack of grip at Christmas and, although up and around at times, he has been ailing ever since. A neat little pin in the shape of a rose leaf bearing the initials L. S. A. F. will identify the members of the ladies' auxiliary of our national society. Al- though in its infancy, there are already over thirty members enrolled. Charles H. Plumb is contemplating the erection of a new range of about 25,000 feet of glass this spring. The two large boilers installed in 1905 have ample heating capacity to take care of this extra glass. Some roses and car- nations are grown by Mr. Plumb, but at present he goes more extensively into bulbous stock and blooming plants. A large batch of lilies is coming on nicely for Easter. No more Harrisii lilies for this concern. Sixty per cent are a loss. Mr. Plumb has a fine sport of Enchantress of a Lawson color. Philip Breitmeyer went on a southern trip last week in the interest of tne park board. J. F. Sullivan has a large batch of multiflorum lilies coming along, al- though they cannot afford to lose any time. A house of Killarney roses shows up finely. Paper Whites are being used extensively in Detroit this season and Sullivan 's have a whole houseful to fall back on. F. Holznagle, of Highland Park, is seldom seen at the club meetings or about Detroit, for he is an exceedingly busy man. Besides being president of the village, he has a large range of glass to look after. At one time every- thing was strictly wholesale, but with fine residences springing up all around him, Mr. Holznagle has a rapidly in- creasing retail trade. The modern houses, erected last summer, are de- voted to carnations. The old houses are being gradually remodeled, cement benches being used throughout. The boilers are housed in a spacious, light, brick building, having besides the boiler room a capacity of about 100 tons of coal. A neat washroom is pro- vided for the help. A 100-foot brick stack, bearing the sign "Roses," at- tracts attention from a distance. B. Schroeter furnished the flowers for the family at the funeral of the late Frederick Stearns. These included a cover of valley and white roses and a large wreath of orchids. Orchids are becoming more in vogue in this city and Mr. Schroeter 's large collection is bringing him some nice returns. John Breitmeyer's Sons furnished the decorations for the Boyer-Backus wedding. This was one of the swell affairs of the season and the decora- tions were very elaborate, each room being decorated in a different color. A gale visited this city January 19 and took with it one of the large show windows in John Breitmeyer's Sons' store. The nightman immediately dosed the opening with carpets, so not much damage was done. The J. C. Moninger Co. has the con- tract, and has already drawn plans, for a house 65x100 to be erected for Au- gust Von Boeselager, at Mount Clemens. The house is to be devoted to carna- tions. Nine solid benches with sides of cement and tile will be used. H. S. Ardmore, T. T. — Violets are in bloom here and traveling men are sending boxes of them back to their friends in the north.

Every grower felt the truth of these words last week, which was absolutely sunless. Possibly we were not so badly off as in Pittsburg, where even daylight was missing for thirty-six hours, so we are told. But at any rate, production was cut down, and with an increased demand the market im- proved, prices stiffening decidedly on roses. This week the improvement con- tinues, and, with the aid of the blessed sun, we are getting more flowers, of de- cidedly better quality. Quotations are rather deceptive now, for, while prices on poor stock, which is plentiful, are low, figures paid for really fancy tea roses are often considerably above those listed. Valley is in good demand; the advent of the new crop gives us better bells, though the stems are not yet espe- cially long. Freesia is fine, the pure white averaging better prices than the yellow, or perhaps it would be fair to say, yellow-splashed flowers. Lilac is selling well; the fancy grade can now be seen at some of the commission houses. Fancy mignonette is in better demand than the ordinary stock. Vio- lets at market prices are now in good demand. Tulips have made their ap- pearance in quantity, Yellow Prince re- inforcing La Reine this week. An im- portant addition to the daffodil class is (lolden Spur, which is very good. South- ern groAvn plumosus and Sprengeri are now the best in the market. Gardenias. There is an old saying that no man is a prophet in his own country, but if Phil can help it, the achievement of Alex. B. Scott in producing gardenias in quantity during midwinter shall not pass un- noticed. For many years this has proved an impossible task, but Mr. Scott has at last cut the gordian knot. It is freely admitted by at least four of the best gardenia growers in the country, who have visited Sharon Hill, that Mr. Scott 's hou.s^ is in advance of anything yet seen in this country. The flowers, which are of excellent quality, have been seen at the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. and at THE Florists' Supply House of America WE HOLD OUR POSITION BY THE NEWNESS OF OUR GOODS.

Clark was ready at the time appointed to show Phil the fern depart- ment at Kiverton, a department of prime importance, where the stock is prac- tically entirely home-grown and is offered in every size, from seedlings in flats to perfect specimens in large pots. First, just a word about Mr. Clark, whose knowledge of ferns, virtually but two years old, now places him in the front rank. Second only to knowledge, he has pluck and push, indispensable adjuncts where results are to be at- tained. The fern houses were in fine condition, every bench full of good stock, something to be proud of just after such brisk demand. Among nephrolepis five varieties are planted out for stock: Bostoniensis, still consid- ered an important factor; Scottii, Ele- gantissima, Barrowsii, and Whitmani, classed as the best of the fancy-leaved types. A single plant, now divided, of the English variety, Todeaoides, was an object of interest. This sort, as its name implies, resembles a todea. This variety may be seen in Horticultural hall, Fairmount park. It is a pretty thing. The quantity of each variety grown for stock proves that a steady de- mand is expected for some time to come. It is stated that at present market prices it is more profitable to buy nephrolepis in small sizes than to grow one 's own stock, while well-grown plants in the larger sizes are always in demand. It is only by handling such large quantities that the 2 14 -inch sizes can be profitably grown at prevailing prices. The stock of ferns for ferneries is jANOABt 24, 1907.

Mention The Review when you write. large and varied. There are large num- bers of all the best sorts. Among them the pteris family, of course, figures prominently, in 2^/4 -inch pots, with some of the more popular kinds in 3-inch and even in 4-inch pots. Several varieties of cyrtomiums are grown. The business of selling these ferns in flats is increasing rapidly. Commenting on it, Mr. Clark thought it profitable and believed small ferns at the low market prices were more profitable than Adiantum Farleyense in 6-inch pots at $1 each. This is signifi- cant when the fine quality of the A. Far- leyense grown here this season is con- sidered. The aim in these small ferns is to be able to fill an order for 100 varieties at any time. This can undoubt- edly be done now, though were it not for the labels it would take a pretty bright man to pick and name them cor- rectly. Cibotium Schiedei and Adiantum Fer- leyense have yielded their choicest speci- mens to the holiday buyers. There are some plants of each rounding into form. A nice batch of Nephrolepis Scottii in 6-inch pots suspended from the rafters were ready to offer, while a block of Whitmani in the same size on the benches showed how this variety ought to be grown. Better go and see them. Various Notes. W. E. McKissick, who is receiving a nice lot of Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri from the south, says that he finds tuat the southern grown sprays of the last named variety will keep over twice as long as the greenhouse-grown stock. John C. Andre, of Doylestown, is add- ing a new boiler and will make other ex- tensive improvements to his plant. Myers & Samtman, of Wyndmoor, will rearrange their place so that it will hold 30,000 American Beauty roses next sea- son. This will be nearly 4,000 more than at present. Victor Groshens, late of Logan, is for the time being in charge of the green- houses of the estate of Albert Wolte- mate. S. S. Skidelsky has received many let- ters of congratulation on his able paper read before the Florists' Club New Year's day. The interest in his subject is general. F. & H.

Exhibits of all meritorious novelties are invited by the committee in charge and it is to be hoped all the very best will be on hand, so that the progressive florists of Philadelphia — the horticultural center of the country — may have an op- portunity of examining them carefully, and as a consequence placing their gen- erous orders for those which meet their fancy. Please ship prepaid care David Rust, Horticultural hall, Broad street above Spruce, Philadelphia, Pa., and they will be properly taken care of upon arrival. It would be better to forward them a day sooner than' is sometimes thought necessary, so that they may be sure to arrive on time, as on former oc- casions some shipments from a distance have been delivered a day late. All interested in carnations are in- vited to be present, whether or not they have superior varieties to exhibit. Edwin Lonsdale, Sec'y. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The cut flower trade has remained steady during the last week, although the weather was disagreeable. No sunshine and plenty of rain shortened up the sup- ply of roses and violets. Prices remain about the same as quoted last week. Quite a lot of society work was made up among the uptown florists; also consid- erable funeral work was reported at the downtown florists'. At the wholesale houses Monday morning carnations were plentiful and at reduced prices in large lots. Stock is all of fine quality. Roses were not plentiful. Beauties are scarce' in all grades. The same may be said of Bride, Maid, Richmond and oth- ers. There are more violets than the demand calls for.

The St. Louis Palm Co., doing busi- ness at 1010 Olive street for some time, has gone out of business. C. A. Kuehn, A. Y. Ellison and J. J. Beneke bowled last week in the city ten- pin tournament and are well up in the race for prizes. The trustees of the Florists' Club met and have decided on the prizes for the carnation show at the next meet- ing, February 14. The awards will be $5 and $3 for first and second in twenty- five each red, light pink, rose pink, dark pink, white and variegated, with $2 for third best red. The prizes are only open for local growers and club mem- bers. The exhibition part is open to all growers who have new varieties to introduce. The trustees will make an Mention The RcTlew when yon write. effort to reach every member of the club and request his attendance on this occasion. This exhibition and meeting will be held in the Burlington building, 810 Olive street, eighth floor. Phil. Breitmeyer, as park commis- sioner, and his secretary, M. D. Hulbert. of Detroit, spent Monday, January 19, in St. Louis in company with Commis- sioner Robert Aull, Secretary Duffy, Superintendent Ostertag and J. J. Beneke. After visiting Mayor Wells and other heads in our city departments, a visit to the different parks was made in an automobile. The party left on the 8:30 Wabash train, each having in his possession a Teddy bear to take home as a souvenir. J. J. B. TWIN CITIES.' The Market For the last few weeks we have had mild weather, but cloudy all the time; consequently little stock has been cut. At present, however, we are experiencing our first really cold weather, the ther- mometer registering 12 degrees below zero with a high wind blowing, but there is plenty of sunshine, which will work wonders as long as it lasts. Stock is still scarce and good stock is practically impossible to get. The prices on this account rule high. None of the dealers is selling roses for less than $1.50 per dozen and good roses at $2 and $2.50 per dozen. Carnations are only fairly plentiful, although a great many splits are on the market. There is a scarcity of white varieties. Bulbous stock falls in nicely. Violets are an uncertain quantity. Some days ship- ments will arrive in splendid condition and the day following they will reach us in a very inferior state. Mignonette has made its appearance, but the demand is light. Sunday morning business seems to about equal sales of any ordinary day, deliveries with the larger retailers being heavy and, in some cases, they are busy right up to closing up time, which is 1 o'clock. Minneapolu. A visit to the E. Nagel greenhouses finds stock in good condition and good average cuts being made on roses and carnations. Mr. Nagel says that his section of the city has grown so fast in the last few years that he does not find it necessary to have a store downtown. In addition to his greenhouse business, he is now engaged in the manufacturing of wood plant labels. The Twin City Pottery Manufactur- ing Co. seems to be in a flourishing con- dition.

For a number of years we had no means of getting pots, only as we had them shipped in. Now a telephone order will bring them. Miss H. B. Whitted states that trade has kept up nicely. Funeral work has been the main feature. She complains of the poor stock on the market. Carlson & Swanson seem to have been fortunate so far this season in having good cuts of roses. Their Maids and Brides are fine. Will & Son have been cutting some fine carnations, which find a ready mar- ket with one of the largest retailers. St.PauL E. F. Lemke is cutting some fine En- chantress and Lawson. Trade, he says, has been quite active the last week. Holm & Olson are gradually getting their large store in good shape. Owing to the immense space it covers, they were compelled to order a number of new fix- tures, which had to be made to order, and which delayed them to some extent. They report trade as being good, espe- cially in funeral work. C. F. Vogt has done well the last week, having turned out more funeral designs thail in any week for some time. His designs for the Heck funeral . were ar- tistically made up, all large pieces. Felix. CLEVELAND. The Market. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — About $100 dam- ag^ was done to the greenhouse of Ira G. Marvin January 14 by fire which origi- nated in the boiler-room from an over- heated drum. The market the last week was on the clearing point. Carnations were more scarce than expected and brought $4 to $5 per hundred. Roman hyacinths and Paper White narcissi were flooding the commission houses and were bringing usual prices. Violets are plentiful and sell for $1.50 per hundred. Tulips are coming in, but not much can be said in their favor as yet. Varioui Notes. A trip to the establishment of the Storrs & Harrison Co. found many things of interest to the trade. They have an immense lot of roses in small pots for their spring trade. Ed George showed me a lot of tree Baby Ramblers, grafted on standards. These make a nice summer ornament. He also has some on Manetti, which make a stronger and bushier growth than is seen gener- ally. Their palms are good and I don't think they can be beaten. This firm also imports an enormous lot of hardy azaleas and rhododendrons, for which they find a ready sale. Whitmani ferns are grown here on a large scale and are in fine shape. Mr. George spoke of remodeling one-half of their entire establishment the coming summer. Oscar Theile, of Eddy road, has pur- chased some property on the outskirts of the west side and it is said he will erect a new establishment. Bate Bros, have one entire house de- voted to sweet peas. Some of the best Asparagus plumosus which comes to the Cleveland market is here seen in abun- dance. Bate Bros, are making prepara- tions for a large stock of roses the com- ing year. Mr. Bartells, of Dover, O., has eleven 200-foot houses planted entirely to car- nations. His place is what formerly was known as the Essex Greenhouses. Mrs. Ella Grant Wilson is reopening her greenhouses. Visitors the past week: C. Schwake, with Charles F. Meyer ; C. B. Knickman, of McHutchinson & Co., both of New York. W. G. N. \ NASHVILLE, TENN. Current Comment. January 1 witnessed many changes among the florists in this city and every move is an indication of prosperous business. Miss E. Birn, for many years on Church street, has moved to Spruce street, near Broad street. A visit to her store shows that the place is well equipped to take care of the business. The large ice-box across the rear of the store is a beauty and the stock of pot plants and cut flowers is in excellent condition and tastefully arranged. The Joy & Son Co. was obliged, by in- creased business and lack of room in the old stand at 600 Church street, to move to No. 601, directly opposite, which was done January 1. When the carpenters and painters have finished, this firm will have a store that Nashville will be proud of. The store will be finished in white and gold, with full glass front, the re- frigerator running lengthwise of the Jasvabx 24, 1907.

Among the many designs ready for de- livery last Sunday by this firm was a casket cover in which violets and lilies of the valley were used exclusively. Still another firm to move is Geny Bros., who, after February 1, will occupy the whole of the present store, the tailor- ing establishment in the other half mov- ing next door. TTiey have been cramped for room and the change will be a wel- come one to this enterprising firm. C. A. Birn is building up a nice busi- ness at his stand on Broad street. A. J. McBride has opened a retail store on Broad street, next door to C. A. Birn. The State Fair Association intends to extend its list of prizes for this year, besides furnishing a special building for the horticultural exhibits. J. S. DuNNViLLE, Ont., Can. — L. H. Weaver intends building two carnation houses, 14x90 and 20x100 respectively, as soon as spring opens. BOSTON. The Market January is proving itself an almost sunless month. The last week has been an especially dark one and production has been seriously curtailed as a conse- quence. Cut flower prices have advanced sharply, especially in the case of roses, in which there has been almost a famine. These have brought Christmas prices and even more in the short-stemmed classes. Brides and Maids, which are usually procurable in quantity at $3 to $4 per hundred, advanced to $8 and the better grades sold as high as $3 to $4 per dozen. Beauties are scarce and the best have made $9 to $12 per dozen. Kil- larney continues popular and is being more and more used. Prices on this, as well as Chatenay, Wellesley and other sorts, are all much higher. Richmonds are proving great sellers and are far more used in funeral designs than Beau- ties. A few warm, clear days will cause a slump, but with continued dark skies high prices must continue. One promi- nent retailer is buying heavily in New York to offset the local deficiency. Carnations are somewhat higher, but about enough are coming in for needs. Violets are not keeping up like other flowers; 75 cents seems to be top price, and a good many are disposed of at 50 cents per hundred, or even less. Singles still sell the best. Callas and Easter lilies are not overpleutiful. Freesias sell well. Dutch bulbous stock never sold better. Prices on tulips and narcissi are good for the season. Fewer growers are bringing in Eomans and Paper Whites and as a consequence ice-chests are not loaded with these as in former years. Some good mignonette and antirrhinum are seen. In the way of choicer flowers, gardenias are meeting with good sales at the better class stores and cattleya.s, chiefly Triansp, are being used a good deal for funerals. Cypripediums insigne and villosum are seen in quantity. Various Notes. A. A. Ilixon, of Worcester, lectured at Horticultural hall January 19, his subject being ''Peach Growing in New England."

The new Begonia Gloire de Lorraine superba, shown by Farquhar & Co. at the club meeting January 15, is quite dis- tinct from others of the Lorraine class. The flowers are double the usual size and are produced less densely on the plant. James Farquhar thinks it will usurp the place occupied by other forms and expects to have 10,000 plants of it next season. M. A. Patten, W. Nicholson, S. J. God- dard and E. A. Peirce are among those bound for the Toronto convention this week. Robert Cameron, who sailed for Ja- maica December 26, was fortunately away from the earthquake zone before the calamitous disaster of January 14 occurred. T. F. Galvin has been making a series of window displays of orchids at his Tremont street store which attract much attention. A paper on "Eoad Construction" will be read at the next meeting of the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club by Charles W. Boss, of Newton. The date is Feb- ruary 19 and other attractions will be announced later. The present winter has proved an un- usual one for overcast skies. January 17 it was below zero many degrees, with blizzardy snow. January 20 the tem- perature rose to 60 degrees in the shade and all snow disappeared. Carnation growers report an unusual amount of black spot as a result of the dark, damp weather. Notice of the death of Mrs. R. C. Hooper, who died January 13, and of George F. Fabyan, who died January 18, will be found under "The Death Roll" in another column.

Worden intended making some change in his place before the rush, but was prevented by the illness of his part- ner who, we are pleased to report, has almost fully recovered. One of the finest sights seen in early summer is a bed of tuberous rooted be- gonias which do splendidly in this high altitude.

It appears that the fight on free seeds has assumed a new angle, the trade in- stigators of the war on the general dis- tribution of common garden seeds hav- ing adopted the suggestion of the De- partment of Agriculture that the appro- priation be continued but applied to its original purpose, the procuring and dis- tribution of new and rare varieties. Speaking of the recent meeting of seedsmen at Washington, Albert McCul- lough, of Cincinnati, said to the Eeview : * * A committee of seedsmen had a hearing before the senate committee on agriculture to enter our protest, not 'alone as seedsmen, but as business men and tax-payers against the free distribution of seeds by congressmen through the De- partment of Agriculture as now existing. Our protests were purely against the distribution of the common or ordinary sorts as now being made, and we at the GLADIOLI Write for trade price Hat of named Tarletles, assorted colors and fine mixtures. £.

Mention The Review when you write they can relieve the department from this burden and place it in such a posi- tion whereby it can be of very great benefit to the agricultural interests of the entire United States." NOTES FROM HOLLAND. From the standpoint of bulb growers the year 1906 was a very favorable one, notwithstanding the grave fact that prices realized on hyacinths, what may be said to be the main and standard crop of the district, have been below the cost of production. However, the prospects are much brighter than they were last year at this time, and considering that the end of the shipping season of this year found a shortage all around of hyacinths, and the dealers unable to fill all the or- ders in hand, it indicates that prices even under normal conditions will be higher the coming season. Should we, however, have to face an insuflScient crop to meet the usual demand there is no telling what prices may come to. Crocuses are no doubt in the same or perhaps even a more favorable condition, as stocks have been generally much re- duced, and although the already prevail- ing higher prices may interfere somewhat with the sales, it could not possibly make up for the short supply in the market. In tulips the season has been an unusual one, for not only did the crop suffer from the effects of the cold weather and disease, but the local demand for all the best trade sorts, and the enormous de- mand from America, especially in red and scarlet tulips, caused the prices on some sorts to go up sharply. In conse- quence the export trade to England suf- fered because late orders could not be filled, but the advantage was that it enabled dealers in England who had a supply on hand to sell them at good prices, and even to sell all they had in the way of tulips. No doubt such a state of affairs must also have a favorable ^effect on the producer on this side, and, taking it all around, there is every pros- We made this halftone from a WASH DRAWING one of many we made for 1907 Seed Catalogues Our artists are the best in the United States on flower and vegetable drawing.

At the end of December we are under twelve inches of snow, and no frost could do any harm to any of our bulb crops under such a cover. Notwithstanding that it has put a stop to all outside work, the growers are ready to welcome a fortnight of sharp frost, be it only to put a stop and kill some of the overabundant supply of vermin that has increased wonderfully during the last two summerlike winters, and has been trying to live on bulbs whenever nothing else more suitable to their taste could be found. — Horticul- tural Trade Journal.

Large English firms in the horticul- tural trade have of late years shown a considerable and increasing tendency to form themselves into limited liability companies. This may or not be the re- sult of some years of bad trade, but it is noticeable that these firms that form themselves into limited companies usu- ally increase their business by so doing and also, which is of more consequence, increase their profit and generally put their business on a sound financial basis. The latest to join the ranks of limited companies in the horticultural trade are Samuel Finney & Co., with £12,000 cap- ital. Tliis is an oid established and well known high class seed business carried on at Newcastle-on-Tyne. The Prevention of Corruption Act is causing considerable stir and excitement January 24, 1907.

The act makes it a criminal of- fense, with a maximum penalty of two years' imprisonment and a fine of £500, to offer any person remuneration in the shape of either money, goods or favor for doing or not doing any act in rela- tion to his principal's business. In the horticultural trades the act prevents the giving of commissions to gardeners, which of late years has become a consid- erable tax on those firms doing a large private trade. A meeting of the trade has been held in London and it was de- cided to give a uniform five per cent dis- count, the discount to be openly stated on each invoice and in the catalogues. The principal seed firms of the country were represented at the meeting and it was particularly asked that all foreign firms, including American, would please agree to the same. It is very doubtful if the decision will serve any useful pur- pose and it is the opinion of many that it would have been better if no discount whatever had been agreed to. The for- eign trade is said to be flooding Eng- land with circulars offering a larger dis- count and for a time at least a consider- able amount of increased retail trade will go abroad. Many of the largest retail seed houses have already published and posted their seed catalogue and it is reported the spring order season is opening with a very satisfactory increase of business. It is anticipated that somewhere near a record year will be established in the . retail trade. The demand for sweet pea seed is enormous and quite beyond expectations, but unfortunately this only applies to the recent introductions and the newest and best varieties, such as are in short sup- ply. The endeavors of those firms engaged in the clover seed business to induce the English growers holding heavy stocks of red clover to thresh and market the seed at the earliest possible moment have met with great success and English red clover is coming on the markets in considerable quantities. Considering the supplies, very satisfactory prices are being real- ized. Contrary to some expectations, the English-grown seed pea trade is holding up, and considering the quantities on ^ offer, good and remunerative prices are obtained.

According to the Moniteur du Jar- dinier the following method is employed in some of the large German horticul- tural establishments to produce blue Hydrangea Hortensia. The process be- gins with growing young plants in trenches in the open air in summer, the trenches being filled in with ferruginous loam, to which iron filings and alum are added. In autumn the plants are potted in a similar compost and kept in a cool house until the time comes for them to be transferred to heated pits, where they are to be forced. They are then watered with a weak solution of alum, which is strengthened as the trusses develop. Treated thus most of the plants are clear and bright in coloring of the flowers. Berkshire, Mass. — F. S. Pearson in- tends to build a greenhouse on his Edge- wood farm for the growing of exotic plants. Alliance, Ohio. — Mr. Miller, of the firm of Miller & Cowgill, has bought out the interest of his partner and will con- tinue the business.

Peter Christiansen, of this city, is a well-known contractor and builder and also a dealer in all sorts of building and heating materials. He has formed a partnership with L. F. Probst to enter into business as horticultural architects and builders. The firm name is Probst & Christiansen. Mr. Probst is an ex- perienced horticultural architect, having been connected with the J. C. Meninger Co., Chicago, for a number of years. The firm will make a specialty of iron construction and will b© equipped to build anything in the greenhouse line, from the ordinary cemmercial structure to the largest of public conservatories. A specialty also will be made of tufa construction. Tufa is a stonelike ma- terial manufactured by the American Tufa Incrustation Co., of Sandusky, Ohio. It is largely used for construc- tion of ornamental horticultural struc- tures, for fountains, rockeries, etc., and Probst & Christiansen a^e the company 's S. IVIASUR Brooklra,N.Y.

D., has reached here on a trip around the world, searching for new plapts for the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Los Angeles, Cal. — The Ingleside Flo- ral Co. has combined the store, green- houses and nurseries at 148 W. Adams street. F. Edward Gray is the pro- prietor. Hollywood, Cal. — E. C. Hamton is in the cucumber business exclusively, grow- ing them under glass. He built a new house this season 26x180 and now has about 20,000 feet of glass. He reports that the season has been cold and un- favorable, as there has been about three? times the normal amount of rain. McMiNNviLLE, Ore.— S. H. Maris, pro- prietor of the Pioneer Greenhouses, has one house 20x80, one 24x80, one 16x80 and one 12x40, making a total of 7,900 feet of glass. He grows carnations, mums, commercial plants, etc., and has a stock of miscellaneous supplies. Mr. Maris reports a prosperous year and a splendid holiday trade. Shipments of apples in the green state from the Pajaro valley, California, for the season to the end of December aggregated about 2,000 carloads. The crop of green fruit was short compared with last year, particularly in market- able Newtowns, on account of scab, while aj30ut ten times as many apples as last year were dried and canned. EXCESSIVE MOISTURE. The effect of the superabundance of rain in the central and northern portions of California is evident in the quietness of the trade. Hundreds of thousands of trees in the nursery rows remain undug and many others are healed in the ground. There has not been enough dry weather at any one time since our down- pour began to allow the proper digging of stock, and the mud is too deep to work to any advantage. This unlooked for amount of moisture does not usually come among us, but I have noticed that every four or five years we have what is termed a wet year. This is particu- larly unfortunate when the season com- mences late, as it did this year, for it makes the selling season so short that many planters will put off their pur- chases for another season.. In the eastern states, where cold weather is in order until the first part of May, this makes little difference; but in California it is necessary to get the planting over by the first of March, as after that time we usually get plenty of warm weather and deciduous trees rap- idly begin to leaf and then their season for handling with naked roots is over. The dealers in fruit trees probably fare worse than those in any other branch of the trade at this time, as their season is very short and planters usually do not care to take any risks, where the involvement of a large quantity of trees ^ and their maintenance for several years is concerned. This makes a heavy blow for the grower to bear, as the additional expense of carrying trees over for an- other year is one of the most expensive and unsatisfactory features to be con- ' tended with. This does not make such a CARNATION CUHINGS SET SEUCCTKD CUTTIHGS, WSLL-ROOTKD.

The effect on small stock that is being grown from cuttings or seed is to keep it backward and there will be a scarcity of annuals and soft wooded stock for several months to come. Sweet peas for early flowers also plainly show the re- sults of too much moisture and subse- quent plantings will have to be made in the near future. Q. SAN FRANOSGO. The Market The rain has been descending unceas- ingly for the last week. We have seen nothing whatever of the sun. Business is quiet in everything except funeral work and flowers are much scarcer than they were a week ago. The dark weather has had the effect of shortening supplies of all kinds and, although there is but little sale for flowers in a retail way, it keeps the dealers hustling to have a show in their windows. The prices of carnations and ro^es have not been raised and we do not anticipate that they will be. The best fancy carna- tions cost the retailers $4 per hundred and from that price down to $2. Good roses are decidedly scarce and, unless we have a warmer spell soon, they will be almost out of market. The greatest shortage at present seems to be in the line of green stuff of all kinds. Many of our growers of maiden- hair and asparagus operate their houses entirely without the use of artificial heat and now, that we have had such a suc- cession of cold weather, they are not cutting anything like the usual quanti- ties and supplies are short. Smilax is in the same condition and the dealers are having some diflSculty in filling or- ders. Violets are plentiful and are being used in large quantities on all occasions. Narcissi are gradually coming into bloom and a couple of weeks will see them at their height. Various Notes. Charles Kegley, late of Des Moines, Iowa, is located at Oakland. Mr. Kegley is well pleased with California after having spent many years in the eastern states. Clarke Bros., of Fruitvale, Cal., have a large house filled with smilax which they will keep for their Easter trade. Choice Asparagus Plumosus Seed win not be as plentiful as anticipated earlier in the season and we are compelled to revise our prices to meet the changed conditions. No orders can be accepted for over 100,000 from one firm.

Everyone could have sold twice as many flowers, but they were not to be had for love or money. They had been in the habit of depending on the south and British Columbia and these growers did not have enough for their own use. A number of customers went from place to place in hopes of getting flowers, but without success. The H. Harrington Co., of Vashon, reports fifty per cent increase in business oyer last year.

Broadway, L,OS ANGELJIS, CAL.. to be better able to handle the trade next season. We are now having a taste of back east winter, which is unusual for this section. We understand that Mr. Hass is going out of the flower business and will grow vegetables. We had a visit from Mr. Karins, of the Henry A. Dreer Co., last. week. He happened around when the florist saw his stock was low and felt his pockets stick out from the week before. PORTLAND, ORE. Nothing out of the common has hap- pened in the first three weeks of the new year. Trade has been a little easy- going, giving us time to recruit our forces and to do some planning for the next great rush. The cut flower supply is at a low ebb and never did we more appreciate the shipments of fine, long- stemmed stock from California than now, which, owing to the present low temperature, has arrived in a most ex- cellent condition. Speaking of the weather, thp ther- mometer has registered as low as 10 degrees above zero during the last week, which is something rare for Port- land. Such extreme cold has not vis- ited us in years and we cannot appre- ciate it. We have had no snow in our immediate vicinity and we fear that the cutting east wind will prove disas- trous to certain kinds of outdoor stock. We were glad of the opportunity to exchange the season's greetings with James Karins, representing Henry A. Dreer. This is his third trip to the coast ajid he has proved to be of the right kind of material. In regard to trade along the road, Mr. Karins said it was immense, and so was the great northwest countrv. H. J. M. WHITE FLY AGAIN. Please let us know how to get rid of the white fly. It is mostly on fuchsias and pelargoniums. We have been fumi- gating three times a week and can 't get rid of them. We are not bothered with any other kind of insect, the houses being clean. F. & S. The fumes of tobacco have no effect ^n this little fly. We heard a private gardener state Jast week that a mixture of whale oil soap and nicotine would kill it. The holes in the body, through which the fly breathes, would be stopped up and the fly perishes. We know nothing more about the solution than what we heard our friend relate. The cyanide gas will destroy them, the formula for which has been published many times in the Review. W. S. Rochester, N. Y. — E. A. Lacy, the South avenue florist, reports good busi- ness. Oklahoma City, Okla, — The weather is exceedingly mild this winter.

NIlKSERy NEWS. AMKBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBTMEN. Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, lid.; Vlce- Prea., J. W. Hill, Des Moines, la.; Seo'y, Oeo. O. 8«a(^er, Rochester; Treas. C. L. Yates. Rochester. The 83d annual convention will be neld at De- troit, Mich., June, 1907. There will be another big increase in the use of phloxes this season. The demand for ornamental stock is increasing at a tremendous rate in the west. Labor is likely to be one of the scarcest items when the spring planting season comes. The Peterson Nursery, Chicago, makes a specialty of irises and reports a large annual increase in sales. Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y., report a wide market for Colo- rado blue spruce. They grow it in con- siderable quantity, seedlings, not grafted plants. Texas nurserymen and fruit growers are alarmed because the unseasonably warm weather has started the buds at a date after which severe cold usually is experienced. It is becoming a common practice for nurserymen to guarantee the life for one year of, stock they plant for customers and to disclaim responsibility for stock planted by others. The guarantee neces- sitates occasional inspection. It will be easily possible for most nurserymen to give customers better stock by the simple means of more care- ful digging, handling and packing. Too little attention is paid to the care of trees while out ot the ground. The trouble with standard grades f.»v stock lies in defining with sufficient clear- ness and brevity just what a good tree or plant should be. Ideas differ and what one man would consider good might be wholly unacceptable to another. RUSSIAN MULBERRY HEDGE. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph taken on Sheridan road, on the north side of Chicago, where there is a clean sweep to Lake Michigan, not over 200 feet away. Anything that will stand the winters there may be classed as reliably hardy anywhere short of the arctic regions. But the point of interest in the pic- ture is the excellent hedge of Russian mulberry. This is twelve years old and in perfect condition. This hedge was planted by the Peterson Nursery, and B. E. Gage, of that institution, says they have a number of such in good con- dition planted where only an absolutely hardy plant will meet the requirements. He says the one operation necessary to get a good hedge of Russian mulberry is to cut it back hard when planted, and keep it down by successive hard prunings until it grows from the bot- tom; it must not be permitted to grow tall before an attempt is made to get bottom growth. It will not do well in shade. CATALPA SEEDS. A large number of catalpa seedlings are being grown for timber plantations and, as speciosa is considered the best variety, it is desirable that planters should be able to distinguish this from other sorts. By examining the seeds it will be observed that the seeds of speciosa are much larger in every way than in the other sorts, and also that the hairy ends of the wings are spread twenty-two years ago, that now con- tains many trees about ten inches iu diameter, from which fence-posts have been cut the last few years. This grove is highly valued by the owner. Catalpa bignonioides, although the A HmJge orRtwidn Mulberry on Chicago's Lake Shore. out, fan-shaped, while those of bigno- nioides are drawn to a point like a waxed mustache. .... J. C. Teas ' Japanese hybrid, which is a cross between speciosa and Kaempferi, has seeds much smaller than the two va- rieties named above, but produces a tree of great vigor and probably possesses merit as a timber tree. Owing to its comparatively recent introduction, its value in this region has not yet been de- termined. The seeds of Kaempferi are much smaller than either of the others and the tree is not as rapid in growth as either speciosa or Teas' Japanese hybrid ; though I know of one grove of about 4,000 trees of this variety, planted earliest introduced into cultivation, is believed to be least valuable of any, on account of its crooked, irregular habit, as well as slow growth. Mature trees of speciosa and bignonioides may be dis- tinguished by the outer barks. Speciosa has a very rough, ribbed outer bark much like black walnut, while bignoni- ROSES ""P^" 1°* 2>^-incb, 4-inch or dormant plants. Also young stock for transplanting. See our list — now ready.

Catalpa big- nonioides is native on the south Atlantic coast, while speciosa is found native ojily in the Mississippi valley froni southern Indiana westward into Missouri and Arkansas. Catalpa seeds vegetate nearly as (jnickly as corn. The young plants are nearly as tender to frost as young to- ni.'xto plants; hence the seeds should not b(; sown until danger from frost is past. We usually sow toward the latter part of May or first part of June, in finely pul- verized, rich, light soil. If the seeds are not planted too thickly plants will attain two to three feet the first year, ready for the timber plantation the fol- lowing spring. A pound of Catalpa spe- ciosa contains about 20,000 seeds and a pound of Kaempferi about 50,000 to 00,000 seeds. E. Y. Teas. PENNSYLVANIA NURSERYMEN.

Unlike most pinks, the bright- est sun does not injure the color. Size— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when established. Odor— Pleasing, but not strong. Stems— Invariably strong, but always graceful, ranging from 12 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, etc.- A very quick, active grower, making specimen plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On account of its rapid growth, requires supporting very soon after benching. Gets away rap- idly, blooms early and gives long stems right from the start. Pro- ductiveness—Prodigious is the best word we know of to use here. It is the most incessant bloomer, early and late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. No discount. Price, 912.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. THE H. WEBER & SONS CO., Oakland, Md.

A correspondent in St. Kitt's writes to the Agricultural News (Barbadoes, West Indies) as follows: Young plants can be obtained from growers in England or America about August. The growers usually pack them in the same way as for transport in temperate regions. This gives very bad results, all the leaves and the young stems arriving in a rotten and mouldy condition. The growers should be instructed to pack as follows: Choose young plants which have formed woody stems; cut off nearly all the leaves and prune all the soft stems; wrap a very little wet sphagnum around the roots, and envelop the whole in about five loose folds of paper, some of which may be glazed, but not waxed. Do not use any box, and a paraffined box is the worst of all. If a box must be used, trust to paper wrappings for keeping moist, and cut the box full of boles. Dixon, III. — O. L.

It is the worst flood we have, had in over twenty years and to de- scribe tlie damage done and the suffer- ing it has caused would be next to im- possible. It would appear now that the worst is over, as the water is at a standstill, and with the cold snap that has come upon us it is likely to start going down. Three florists' places are under water and considerable damage has been done. They are all located along the Mill creek valley and thus in the flooded district. They are Wolfe, Glins and Herline. Of course, the truck gardens along this valley are all under water, and the owners will suffer seri- ous loss. Thousands of people are home- less, on account of the water making their homes unsafe, and are being cared for by the city and various charitable organizations. It is hoped now that the end is in sight and that in a few days the river will have gone down be- low the danger point. In spite of all the conditions against it, the business is holding up well. Train service is irregular and shipping business is being handled at a great disadvantage. But even with this, there IS a pretty good supply of blooms in the market and they are moving out at good prices. Various Note*. E. G. Gillett, J. A. Peterson, W. K. Partridge, B. Witterstaetter and Ed Forter left Tuesday for the carnation convention at Toronto. They joined the Chicago delegation at Detroit. John Lodder, of Hamilton, has been quite ill, but is improving. C. J. Ohmer. Du Quoin, III.— F. W. Gross, of the Du Quoin Floral Co., has given up the business on account of other business requiring attention. He says there is a good opportunity here for a florist.

Baltimore apparently is endeavoring to go through the weather calendar all in a single month. During January there has been a variety of weather that might represent the four seasons. Trade last week was fair, using up all the stock. Blooms of all kinds are scarce and high in price and some of the retailers were compelled to send out of town to make up their shortage. Carna- tions and roses are a little steadier. The bulbous stock has been a remarkable help this year and has encouraged the growers. Greens of all kinds are in sufficient quantity to meet demands. There is some funeral work and an oc- casional decoration. Various Notes. F. C. Bauer, Govanstown, Md., is planting 1,000 Harrisii lily seedlings. Walter Chiswick, gardener for C. H. Dickey, Eoland Park, is building an ad- dition, 18x20, to his new house, for deco- rative plants. W. F. Keys, Gay and Eager streets, has bought six acres of land with some improvements on it, known as the old German property, between Belair and Harford roads, and will erect a fine greenhouse. Fred Lepp, formerly of Pocomoke City, Md., is erecting several green- houses at Rossville, Md. Griffith & Turner Co. is mailing out its catalogue. January 18 nearly two tons were sent to the post-office to be distributed in and about Maryland. The only florist who attended market regularly last week was James Glass. He was the sole reaper of what business came that way. He has never been known to miss. The street boys were on the market Saturday offering southern single violets at a price within reach of every flower lover. C. E. Smith & Co. are the only regu- lar newspaper advertisers in the city. They advertise particularly for funeral work. J. L. T. PANSY BASKET Six fit in bnihelbox to pack one upon another. Wood or wire handle. 100 samples, $1.10. SEAVER BA&Ktl CO., Medford, Mass.

Bai'K, the well-linown Carnation expert, writes: " If I had a carnation house ever 80 badly Infested by Gi-eenfly or Thrlps, I would spray with To-Bak-Ine LiQuid not stronger than three teaspoonfuls to a gallon of water, and six gallons of this solution would spray a house 25x101) feet, thoroughly. I would rather spray with this strength every day for a few days than to make It stronger. Ordinarily one spraying In two days Is enough for the first week, and thereafter, once or possibly twice each week will be sufficient. I am satisfied that spraying is most effective In destroy- ing these pests, as well as the least harmful to the plants or blooms. In order to derive the most benefit from the use of To>Bak-Ine, it should be used regularly throughout the season, as a preventive. We begin to spray our carnations with it regularly- once each week as soon as they are well-established on the beds in the nouses, about September 1, (or sooner if any insects show them- selves), and we find that this will keep away Aphis, Thrips. and In addition to intelligent syringing It will keep down Red Spider. The number of blooms usually lost through the ravages of these pests can b3 reduced to a minimum by the use of To-Bak-Ine. These blooms will easily pay for the cost of spraying and have a good balance over. It is surprising how many blooms are uiscarded by growers, which could have been saved by the use of this preparation; when you figure them at 3o to 5c each during midwinter it runs up into money quickly. No grower can afford to be without this preparation and it will take merely a fair trial to convince anyone of lis value. When I begin on To-Bak-Ine I find it hard to Stop. I feel that I could not possibly say too much in its favor, especially as a remedy for Aphis and Thrlps."— Signed, A. F. J. BAUB. TO-BAK-INE LIQUID is a 45% solution of pure nicotine (the stronBest made). It bas been used suooessfully for years by vaporlztna: by beat, but the latest and best method is to SPRAY THROUGH A SIMPLEX PUMP Also Equally Valnable in Rose Hoases and for (ieneral Stock.

SIMPLEX SPRAY PUMP The successful use of To-Bak-Ine Liquid as a spray depends largely on the pump and nozzle that is used in spraying. There are a great many pumps and spraying machines on the market; these have all been carefully tested in our experiments and we have found that for practical purposes the Simplex Spray Pump illustrated on this page is the most practical of any in use. These are all brass pumps, excellent for all kinds of spraying purposes, but are especially adapted for green- house use. Price complete, $9.00.

Sternberg, of West Hartford, the president, was in the chair and there were over fifty members present. There was a handsome exhibition of carnations, the exhibitors being F. K. Pierson Co., of Tarrytown, N. Y. ; A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell ; J. F. Huss, superintendent for James J. Goodwin, and Carl Peterson, manager for Miss Whiting, of West Hartford. Awards were made as fol- lows : F. E. Pierson — For the new carnation, Winsor, diploma; for three varieties, Helen Gould, Melody and Bose-pink En- chantress, certificates of merit. A. N. Pierson — For unnamed seedling, diploma; for two of the best specimens coupled, Robert Craig and Eose-pink En- chantress, certificate of merit. J. F. Huss — Exhibit of blooms of many varieties, certificate of merit. Carl Peterson — Exhibit of different varieties, certificate of merit. U. G. Scollay, of New York, a builder of greenhouses, gave an interesting talk about greenhouse construction and heat- ing. Mr. Huss enlightened those present on carnation culture. Altoona, Pa. — L. S. Peterson has one house 16x32, one 22x115 and one 30x115 under construction. He is making a spe- cialty of cut flowers and pot plants. Enclosed find $1 for the Review for another year.

How much pipe will it take to heat to 58 degrees wheu it is 10 degrees below zero? W. B. Since you do not mention the size of pipe you are to use, I have figured the requirements of the house on the basis of using 2-inch pipe. In order to maintain a temperature of 58 degrees it will re- quire the use of 1,600 feet of 2-inch pipe. This can be distributed into four coils of four pipes each, one pipe in each coil serving as a flow, with three returns. If fewer coils are desired, the size of the flow pipe to each will require to be larger than 2-inch. If three coils are used each flow should be 2i/->-inch pipe. L. C. C. ABOUT BOILERS. How many square feet of radiation can be allowed per horse-power in rating a boiler for steam heating? How can I rate a tubular boiler of any given di- mension and number of flues of given diameter? What is the ratio between flue area and grate surface? W. H. C. The basis for estimating horse-power in boilers of various types is quite differ- ent and is not the basis on which the heating capacity of the boilers is rated. The heating capacity is computed from the area of the boiler exposed to the ac- tion of the heated gases, or its heating surface. Koughly speaking, one square foot of heating surface in a boiler will care for eight square feet of radiation in the greenhouse, but this varies with the style of heating and the temperature to be maintained. The ratio existing be- tween grate surface and heating surface in the boiler depends on the character of the fuel used. One to forty is the usual ratio for hard coal and one to eighty for soft coal. We will be glad to give specifications for specific cases, which is the only satis- factory plan. L. C. C, PIPING EIGHT GREENHOUSES. We have eight north and south houses, even span, connected, each 18x 100. The valleys are six feet high, ridges eleven feet. We wish to grow carnations in three houses and Grand Rapids lettuce in the remaining five. The mercury seldom falls below 15 de- grees below zero. How much 2-inch pipe shall we need and how should it be arranged? Could we have a 6-inch flow at the north end, running east and west, connect the 2-inch pipe with a manifold, run the 2-inch along the west sides of the other houses and back again on the east side of the same house, connecting into the return at the north end, which is a 4-inch? R. B. The arrangement of the main riser, or flow pipe, is all right, and it can be carried near the gable or near the floor, whichever is more convenient, provided both the flow and returns are at least three feet above the water line of the boiler. The piping of the houses will give the best satisfaction if arranged about as follows: Carry a 2-inch flow under the ridge of each house from the WILKS GREENDOUSE HEATERS The Wilks Greenhouse Heaters are all Steel Self-Feeders. Will run 16 hours at a time without attention. NO NI6HT FIREMAN REQUIRED Can be used with either HARD OR SOrr COAL. BEVD FOB OUB HEW OATA^OOUS. MADB BT S. WILKS MFG.

In either event, with steam, it will be better to use 1^-inch pipe for the returns or main heating pipes and each house should have nine such pipes supplied from the one 2-ineh flow. The nine returns if arranged in manifolds on the side walls should be united to empty into the main return, which, if it is a 2-inch, will be ample for the plant in question. L. C. C. FLORENCE BEATERS ABE MADE IN A WIDB VARIETY OF STTI.es, ARE SIMPI.T CONSTRUCTED, EASILY ERECTED AND ABB UNIVERSAL ACCELERATING CIHCULATION. In the Eeview of January 10 there is a query from J. A., regarding his heat- ing system, I would like to offer him a few suggestions. I cannot from his description fully make out just how his pipes are arranged, but think I under- stand enough to locate his trouble. He says there are six flows, leaving a FIEL BURNERS For New 1007 Catalogae, addresi Colombia Beater Co. BELVIDERE, ILL. Sales Dept., 36 Dearborn St., Chicago main, with risers about ten inches high, and these go to the far end of the house and return through ten returns; I pre- sume, to a main and thence to the bot- tom of his boilers. Now, he does not say what size that main is. I take it that this main runs across the end of the house and the six flows come off at certain distances by tee branches. Now, I think here is the trouble: Those tees have the outlet on the upper side of the main, and rise ten inches to an elbow. Those outlets are, perhaps, the same size as the main and flows. If so, the circulation is too free in the first one or two flows nearest the boiler, rob- bing the branches farther along; and January 24, 1907.

If this is about the way the pipes are laid out, the tees from the main to the flows should be on their sides, with a piece of horizontal pipe eighteen inches or two feet long with an elbow to the riser. I would also reduce tnis piece of horizontal pipe to three inches in the first three branches and shorten the other two to twelve inches, and let the last one be a mere nipple; or let the outlet be on the upper side. I have found it bad prac- tice to take branches from the upper side for hot water without reducing them by at least one-half or putting on a valve in the riser to control the flow when there are branches taken off be- yond on the same main.

His boiler-room will not be so warm if a proper circulation is obtained in the pipes, which this arrangement should give. R. G. Milford. ELEVATE EXPANSION TANK. I would like to say a few words in reply to the article by E. G. Milford in the Review of January 10. When he says that the height of the expansion tank has no bearing on the efficiency of the heating plant, I have to differ with him. I do not mean that it has any effect on the circulation ; but with a high tank it is possible to heat the water to considerably more than 212 degrees, which is of great importance in a very cold spell. Where a water supply tank is neces- sary, as in most country places, it is by far the best expansion tank that could be devised. Sline is something over forty feet above the boiler, giving a pressure of about twenty pounds, and, in consequence, we have several times run all night with the hot water ther- mometer showing 230 to 240 degrees. If any one thinks this is not greater effi- ciency than a low tank could give, let him try it in unusually cold weather. My connection is as follows: The tank is at the farther end of the greenhouse from the boiler, about 150 feet. The 1^/^-inch main supply pipe from the tank fligh^Grade Boilers gSSSa. for GREENHOUSES STEAM and HOTWATCR GIBLIN&CO.,Utica.N.Y. Mention The Review when you write. runs under the first bench to the boiler- pit and into a return near the boiler, and is tapped in several places for water pipes to run through the various houses. A %-inch pipe is taken from the flow on the heating coil nearest the tank and runs up and into the tank beside the supply pipe. Thus I have a constant circulation of hot water from the boiler to the tank and down to the supply pipe. On the %-inch pipe to the tank there is a brass stop-cock which is nearly closed; only an opening is left about the thick- ness of a knife-blade. This is ample and prevents waste of heat. The principal advantage of this circu- lation is, that there is no danger of any pipes to the tank freezing in any weather, even if they were entirely uncovered ; and your tank water is always warm for watering plants. W. E. Gray. PIPE FOR HEATING. I intend to build a carnation house 14x90. The mercury sometimes reaches 5 degrees below zero. How many 1^- inch returns should be required to main- tain proper temperature? Would 2-inch flows be enough to supply required amount of returns. L. H. Yes, two 2-inch flow pipes will be suffi- cient to provide for the radiation in the house 14x90 feet. The piping should consist of two 2-inch flows and twelve 11/4 -inch returns.

All who saw our exhibit at the Toronto Convention last week pronounced the BAUB CLIP and PLYER for mending split carnations a great success. "The slickest thing I ever saw. ' ' — A prominent New York wholesaler. "Every up-to-date carnation grower will have one. ' ' — A grower from Philadelphia. * ' You 've got the only thing. ' ' — A practical grower from eastern Penn- sylvania. "I came to see the thing and have been convinced that it is all that you claim for it. ' ' — This from a Canadian grower who brought some hard cases of splits with him and saw us promptly turn them into first-class carnations. We solicited no personal testi- monials and no personal orders, well knowing that all who saw this up-to-date device working would go home satisfied that he needed an outfit. The way orders have come in since has proven the correctness of our predic- tion. YOU who have not seen it need it as much as those who did — you more than need it — ^you mustliave it, or drop behind in the procession as an up-to-date grower. It is what you have long been looking for and what you will need every day until settled warm weather sets in. You have racked your brain for some practical means of mending your split flowers, even though you may be only a small grower. You have thought of the good coal and energy you have been wasting every year raising split carnations that found no profitable market. You used clumsy rubber bands and what not to fix them up, only to find that the job was not much better after than before. Here is something that solves your problem as far as it ever will be solved until carna- tions stop splitting — as far as it ever needs to be solved — a little practically INVISIBLE wire CLIP that holds the calyx and petals in their natural position without in the least aflfecting any other part of the flower. It does not make a wound that will cause the bloom to wilt before its natural time. It is to all intents and purposes part and parcel of the calyx and holds with a grip of iron. IT CAN'T COME LOOSE. It is so PRACTICAL AND FREE FROM ALL OBJECTION that it will make your split flowers, ., after mending, sell with those that were not split. A flower properly mended with this device is not a split flower — it is a first-class flower in every way and serves every purpose that will a flower in which the accident of splitting did not occur. Our PLYER for putting on these CLIPS is a wonderful instrument — wonderful in simplicity and in the work it does. With a little practice the operator can do the work twice as fast as it can be done in any other way and do. it much better. Time is money, and if you both save time and do a perfect job you are doubly tlie gainer. SEND FOR THIS UP-TO-DATE OUTFIT TODAY. Convince yourself. Your money will not be lost, for we will cheerfully return it if you are not fully satisfied with your bargain. Give it a fair trial and it will convince you that it is just what you have been looking for. It will save its price every few days that you have it and will help to pay your coal bill, as it helps to pay o'urs. PLIER, $3.00. RKADT ABOUT FEBRUARY 10. Postage prepaid. lOOO CLIPS, $1.00.

Wc are experiencing a much colder Avinter than a year ago, and one whicli so far has given us an abnormal pro- portion of sunless Aveather. February will have arrived before these notes roach the majority of readers. It is a short month and usually a snowy and cold one. Easter comes early this year, and a great deal of care will be neces- sary to get lilies and other flowering plants in on time. The buds on Easter lilies should be showing so that they can be counted by the middle of February. By hard forcing, flowers may be had even if the buds do not show till tlie end of the month, but six weeks is none too long to allow for their proper de- velopment. It is better to have them in bloom, and hold them back in a cool house for a few days, rather than attempt to force them almost to death in the last few days. Assuming that the plants are in about the right stage, give them a night tem- perature of 55 degrees, syringe overhead twice a day and see that they arc not allowed to become dry at the root. Drop a little tobacco dust or juice in the top of the shoots for the benefit of the omnipresent green aphis. As the pots will be well filled with roots, give some liquid stimulants once a week to keep them toned up. We are this season trying a good many Azores longiflorums and they have the smallest percentage of disease of any on our place. The Bermuda stock is far less satisfactory. If some of your plants have buds well advanced, and you wish to retard them, do not place them in a cold house or most of the buds will be destroyed. Keep fairly warm until the first flowers are ready to open. Then place in a cooler structure. If there are any bulbs still unpotted and you need same for Memorial day trade, lose no time in getting them into the soil. The popular hardy garden lily, L. candidum, will be difficult to get in flower by the end of March. This lily •lislikes hard forcing. Better hold back the plants for Memorial day rather than ruin them in a vain effort to secure some for Easter. Rambler Roses. If ramblers were started in Decem- ber they will now have shoots several inches in length and it should be possi- ble to see the buds in a few days. Give them a light, sunny location; syringe only on bright days; keep a little sulphur painted on the pipes to hold mildew in check; water carefully, and if the plants have been grown right along in pots provide some liquid food. There can be no question but that this class of roses is far and away bet- ter when pot-grown all the time. They force better, break more evenly and give larger trusses of flowers. Crimson Bambler, to be in season for Easter, should have the buds just peeping. The new pink forms, such as Lady Gay, Dorothy Perkins, and others, need fully two weeks longer than Crimson Ram- bler to come in. They will stand a fairly brisk heat now, 60 degrees at night being hot enough. Later batches started now will provide salable plants in April. The pink forms have proven better sellers than the crimson, being less common and of a pleasing color. Hydrangeas. Hydrangeas are less grown for Easter liquid manure or a chemical surfacing once a week. Probably some plants will not throw much bloom, but will provide good cut- tings. Take off a good batch of these and place in a warm propagating bench, where they will soon root and make nice plants for another year. Some buyers prefer the pink forms of H. Otaksa, while others consider blue the best shade. An absolutely pure white one would probably please all elements. Astilbe. Astilbes, or as they are more popu- larly called, spiraeas, are always useful at Easter. They are comparatively cheap plants, but can be put to diverse uses. They will stand hard forcing un- til the flowers show color, when they should be placed in a cooler house. The old variety, A. Japonica, has to quite a large extent been displaced by its im- proved form, A. Japonica compacta multiflora, A. astilboides, and the fine Mirror Decoration of Winsor Carnation and Elegantissima Fern. (One of the Toronto exhlbltB of the P. R. Plerson Co.) than a few years ago, most growers pre- ferring to have them in flower about Memorial day. Well shaped and bloomed plants, however, usually sell well. The flower heads should now be discernible, in which case they should be all right by March 31. Hydrangeas need literal supplies of water, with new variety, Gladstone. The three lat- ter sorts need about two weeks longer to fully develop than does the older sort. By this time the plants should have started to grow. Give them a night tem- perature of 60 degrees for a month yet, gradually lowering the temperature as the flowers commence to open. They y,:>'f.- ' 778 ...._•'■:'■ ■ .'; ;i' • .■":j',/t.-;,;',,>-*>f.,^'v'- ■ The Weekly Florists^ Review Januabt 31, 1907. need copious supplies of water and when the pots are well filled with roots there is little danger of an oversupply. As they grow spread them out to give them a chance to develop. In fumigating use great care, as they are very easily in- jured. Marguerites. Nicely grown marguerites make very serviceable Easter plants. Both the white and yellow varieties flower freely and are excellent for house or church decoration. Do not pinch plants any more which are wanted by March 31. If any are in 6-inch pots and becoming potbound give them a shift to 8-inch. Use rich compost and press it firmly around the edges of the pots. A light, sunny house, about 50 degrees at night, will suit them. Feed liberally when well matted with roots and on no considera- tion allow them to become dry. The new white variety. Queen Alexandra, makes an excellent pot plant and has jumped into great favor. Cut flowers of marguerites meet with an excellent sale in many of the mar- kets. A piece of bench into which some old plants headed back were set late in so scarce as at present a nice crop of these flowers is proving profitable. That grand early tulip, La Eeine, is now com- ing with a good length of stem. It re- mains as popular as ever. Batches of most of the other early varieties can now be brought in at intervals of a few days when they are well started. Be sure to remove them to a cool house when well opened. On such a place they will last well. Narcissus Golden Spur is now extra good and it is one of the finest of all the yellow daffodils. Such varieties as Emperor, Empress, Sir Watkin, Victoria and Horsfieldii brought in the middle of January are pushing up their spikes. These easily can be held in check by removal to a north house. N. pojticus ornatus has already appeared in the market. It remains one of the most popular of the narcissi. The old N. poeticus is a good Easter sort. It dislikes hard forcing, but if placed now in a carnation house temperature it will be in season. Azaleas. If not already placed in heat, lose no time in placing azaleas wanted for Easter in a warm house. Apollo remains Upper Vase Alma Ward, Exhibited by Cottage Gardens G). Lower Vase No. 348, Exhibited by Dailledouze Bros. August are now giving a wealth of flow- ers on fine stems. They are popular with the most critical flower buyers. Bulbous Stock. It is too early yet to start tulips or narcissi for Easter, but while flowers are one of the best scarlets. Mme. Van der Cruyssen, Simon Mardner, Vervaeneana, Empereur de Bresil, Niobe and Sigis- mund Eucker are all excellent varieties. A warm, moist house will suit these' Indian azaleas, day, or four Syringe them twice a times in very bright weather. If growth starts ahead of the flowers, pull it out. Withhold syringinp as the flowers show color. Azalea mollis if well budded, makes a fine pot plant' It will stand quite hard forcing and can be had in flower in six weeks in a, warm house. Started about February 15, they should be in season for Easter They need a thorough freezing before being forced. Gloxinias. Dormant tubers of gloxinias may bo started now in flats of leaf -mold or moss in a warm house. Water well at first and then keep on the dry side un- til they are started sufficiently to bo potted off. The gloxinia is not, per- haps, of as much value to florists us many other plants. A nicely flowero(l plant will always attract a retail cus- tomer, and they are fine for the stoie window. The flowers are also useful at Memorial day for the choicer bouquets, for which holiday roots started at one;? will give a nice lot of flowers. Seed sown now in pans of light compost (if sterilized, aU the better) will give gooil flowering plants for late summer. As the seeds are extremely fine, the com- post in the pan should be made perfectly level, watered and the seed evenly scat- tered on the surface. Do not cover ex- cept with a sheet of paper. Water through a fine sprinkler and the seed should germinate in three weeks in a warm and moist house. Seed Sowing. It is too early to sow asters for out- doors. If a bench will be at disposal after Easter try the experiment of plant- ing it with Queen of the Earlies. They succeed well under glass in a cool house in four to five inches of compost and for any who need flowers for funeral work they will come in very useful be- fore the outdoor crop is in season. Plant six inches apart between the plants and nine inches between the rows. Stocks to flower for Memorial day may still be sown. A good selection of ten weeks' is the best. If verbenas are not sown, start them as soon as possible. Salvia splendens you can keep in the packets a month yet, but ageratum can be sown at any time. Petunias and pentstemons ought to be started during February, and do not forget a packet of the excellent and free-flowering Primula obconica, of which there are now some fine strains. Sown thus early, excellent plants may be had for Christ- mas sales. Cannas and Dahlias. It is altogether too early to start either cannas or dahlias. Examine the canna roots and if they are becoming dry, water moderately. Too dry condi- tions are as harmful as too much water. Dahlias should be examined and any de- caying roots removed. Unless it is de- sired to work vp stock of some novelty, we would not advise ■ starting for two months yet. C. W. East Palestine, O. — J. N.

JANUARY 31, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review. 77^ General View of the Toronto Exbibition of the Amertean Carnation Society. CONVENTION AFTERMATH t-W 0-,.. A BRILLIANT SUCChSS. The great American carnation conven- tion to which Toronto florists have been looking forward ever since the announcL>- ment came from Boston that it would meet in Toronto in 1907, is now a matter of history and, as far as we can see, was a success in every particular. A great part of the success of the show, as far as Toronto was concerned, must be attributed to Mr. Dunlop, the president, who worked with untiring en- ergy and who took every opportunity to boost the Toronto convention since his election a year ago. We might also men- tion two, outside of the trade, who took an active part in the working out of the plan for the reception of the delegates; namely, R. J. Score and H. R. Franklin. These gentlemen are connected with the Horticultural Association and lent their valuable services in every way possible to bring the convention to a successful conclusion. We were glad to see so many ladies take advantage of the trip to Toronto and our ladies' committee took them in hand and filled in the time to the best possible advantage. The committee re- grets the little oversight on the part of the chairman, who, in his multitude of detail to look after, omitted to provide carriages to take the ladies from the hotel to the theater and back. The local florists who took in the banquet enjoyed it very much and the good fellowship of the American guests was much appre- ciated. To be president of the American Car- nation Society a man has to be thor- oughly versed in the rules of debate as well as the bylaws of the society. The society now numbers in itS mo nhor-hip some able debaters and, at the closing session the chairman had several times to look up the ruling as the debaters warmed up to their subject. This is what makes the sessions of an associa- tion of this kind both interesting and profitable. W^e find men of long experi- ence freely giving their experiences in difterent tests to uphold their point of argument. The younger and more reti- cent members are therefore learning many valuable lessons and get pointers that will be of great benefit to them during the coming year. Papers and Discussions. Three valuable papers were read on the last day, from carnation growers in Europe, showing the great increase in the demand for the American carnations in Europe. C. W. Ward said that he had done considerable exporting to Eu- rope, of carnation cuttings, and his method of shipment was to leave good air-space in the boxes with lots of air- holes. He preferred shipping well-rooted cuttings well wrapped with moss to keej) down the expense of transportation, as plants from soil made the freight rate to Europe very high. He also found that many shipments were spoiled in transportation on account of the hold of the vessel being very warm; consequently the stuff started to rot. If the hold was cool the stock traveled in dormant state and usually arrived in good condi- tion. A matter that received considerable discussion was a motion that was carried by the convention that new varieties must be named and registered before entering for competition. Many of the growers claimed that it should be left optional to the exhibitor until after the award was made, as many new varieties would never be sent out if they did not receive the awards, and consequently names would be appearing on the register that were never sent out. However, it was considered tliat this might lead to considerable C3nfusion. It was decided to adopt the recommendation of Secre- tary Herr that all varieties must be registered to be eligible for competition at convention exhibitions. The Banquet. The banquet, tendered by the Electoral District Society, Toronto Gardeners' and Florists' Association and the Horticul- tural Society to the American Carnation Society, was held at the Queen 's hotel, ana was in every particular a huge suc- cess. International good-fellowship was the predominant feeling, and the speeches delivered in proposing and re- plying to various toasts would have been a credit to any association where after- dinner spoeches form a more impor- tant j):irt of the profession than it does in floriculture. The banquet room was elaborately dec- orated with carnations, asparagus, ferns, cyclamens and begonias. At the front of the banquet room two immense flags, the I'nion Jack and Old Glory, hung draped from each side. Samething over 200 sat down and did justice to a first- class menu. A few complained of there being no liquor, but the committee con- sidered that it was not in the interest of horticulture, or of a gooil banquet, to have liquor served at the tables. The toastmaster 's chair was occupied by the retiring president, .lohn II. Dun- lop, while seated at his left was F. H. Lemon, of Richmond, Ind., president- elect for 1907. The first toast was "The King and President, " ' proposed by Mr, Dunlop, and responded to by singing "God Save the King" and "America," assisted by the orchestra. The Blight Male Quartette, of which .las. Milne, of Dunlop 's, is base singer, gave us "The Old Brigade" with several encores. 780 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 31, 1007. "Canada and the United States" was proposed by F. R. Pierson and responded to by C. W. Ward for Canada, as a Canadian, and Wm. Algie, Alton, Ont., for the United States, as an American. This toast brought out fine speeches and, although Mr. Ward sometimes forgot his bearings, yet he quickly took his soundings and landed again on Canadian territory. Mr. Pierson said the last meet- ing had been held at Boston, which ciLy had set a high standard difficult to equal. It was the home of floriculture, perhaps without its equal in the Unite I States. * * 1 want to say, ' ' said M r. Pierson. "that Toronto has out-Bos- toned Boston with the most successful meeting in the history of the society. ' ' Mr. Algie 's speech was prefaced with the remark that twenty-five years ago he discovered near Boston a pink and white Enchantress and, as an outcome of this discovery, he has four handsome Bradts. Of course that was equivalent to the admission that his better-half was an American. However, we can remind Americans that Mr. Algie could make equally as patriotic a British speech as he did American. * ' The Mayor and Corporation ' ' was proposed by 1?. J. Score, chairman of the reception committee, and responded to by Alderman J. .T. Graham on behalf proposed by T. W. Duggan, of the Dale Estate, Brampton, and replied to by W. J. Stewart, P. J. Hauswirth and Thomas Manton. Mr. Hauswirth, being secretary of the Society of American Florists, called attention to the interna- tional flower show which is under con- templation for 1908 and which is to be held in Chicago. He stated that they are now working on a guarantee fund, and hoped that all who could would in- terest themselves in this. The toast to the "American Carnation Society" was proposed by William Gam- mage, of London, and responded to by Mr. Lemon, E. G. Gillett, Cincinnati, and J. A. Valentine, Denver. Mr. Lemon particularly emphasized his desire to have the hearty cooperation of carnation growers during the coming year, as he felt his task, in filling Mr. Dunlop "s place and to keep up to the standard set by him, was a difficult one, and hoped to see all present in Washington next year. The trophies won at the show were then presented by W. N. Budd, who caused much merriment in his inimitable way of getting speeches from the recipi- ents. A highly amusing incident was his handing over to Mr. Ward a cup and calling for a speech. A few minutes afterwards he noted his mistake that Cunation Imperial Exhibited by Guttman & Haines. of the mayor, who was unable to be present. Alderman Graham stated that of all conventions held in Toronto, the convention city, none had made a greater impression upon him as bringing men of business ability and integrity, and he hoped that the impression that they took home with them of Toronto would be as favorable as that they left. "Society of American Florists and Canadian Horticultural Society ' ' was this trophy was not won by Mr. Ward. However, Mr. Ward had got his bearings and noted the same; rising, he called Mr. Kudd's attention to the fact that he did not think he had won that cup. Mr. Rudd did not seem to be disturbed by his mistake and turned the joke on Mr. Ward as he simply remarked that he just wanted to see if Mr. Ward would keep it, as these Americans were after everything in sight, whether it be- longed to them or not. Mr. Rudd com- plimented the Canadians on so success- fully competing and capturing so many of the premiums. The one feature of some of the Amer- icans who had not received the top- notch award that commended itself to the audience was fhe statement that while they did not get the prizes they had come after, they were quite satisfied, and would redouble their energies to get the highest awards next year. The toast, * ' The Allied Societies, ' ' was proposed by J. Bennett, of Montreal, and responded to by W. F. Kasting, of Buffalo, and J. R. Fraiiklin, of Toronto. The toast, * ' The Press, ' * was proposed by H. M. Altick, of Dayton, who highly complimented the horticultural press on the great work being done for horticul ture through this medium. He took this opportunity of mentioning the great work that had been done by Mr. Scott, of Buffalo, for horticulture and floricul- ture through his contributions to the press, and also regretted his inability, through sickness, to be present. He called for a silent toast, coupled with a prayer for his recovery. J. Austin Shaw re- sponded for the American press and H. B. Cowan for the Canadian press. The toast, "The Ladies," was pro- posed by Hermann Simmers m a happy speech, and responded to by L. E. Mar- quisee, Syracuse, who kept the audience in good humor. It might be here re- marked that the ladies were present for the closing addresses, having come from the Princess theater, where they were entertained as guests of the Toronto ladies. Friday morning the visitors, 100 strong, went to Brampton by special train to inspect the greenhouses. They came back at noon and spent the after- noon visiting the greenhouses in To- ronto. Everyone seemed to be quite sat- itfied that the convention was a success in every way, and complimented the local committees on the way they had carried out the details in looking after the interests of the visitors and ex- hibits.

He collected over $400 on the Dale special train in behalf of the wife and family of the old favorite, Jimmie Hartshorne. The exhibition hall was chilly for hu- mans, but just right for the flowers, all of which kept perfectly to the close. The hospitals were gladdened by the distribu- tion of the exhibits on Friday. Pierson's mirror decoration of Winscr and Elegantissima was greatly admired. It reflected credit upon the artist brought all the way from New York to construct it. The bridal chamber fell to Messrs. Young and Traendly at the Queens. The decorations on Friday morning, shown only to a few of the elect, were chaste and unique and so in keeping with the artistic ability of these demon- strative deacons. The consultations in these parlors lasted until nearly day- light and were participated in by many of the bright lights of the convention. The Toronto ladies were unanimously voted the "princesses of entertainers" and they were as handsome and healthful as enthusiastic. Many of the familiar faces were missed because of illness, none more than that of William Scott, of Buffalo. There was a touch of political e.xpert- ncss in the caucus and primary work in behalf of Washington that manifested the practiced art of the adept, but there will be a great show and a big crowd at the next convention. We will miss the delightful 15 degrees below zero weather, however, and .everybody wants to go to Canada again and no one will regret how soon the day. Harry Altick loses none of his enthu- siasm in behalf of McKinley day. The long trip of J. A. Valentine and his lieutenants from the Rockies shows the right spirit; the enthusiasm that makes conventions worth while. While in the east these gentlemen will color the great white way and visit New York, Boston and Philadelphia growers. Peter Crowe has trained down to under 300 pounds, but still holds the medal for good nature and corporosity. Canada had nothing to compare with him. Those who take a little something for their stomachs' sake were taken aback to find all medicinal centers closed at 11 o'clock and all lights out at 12 o'clock. Everybody has to be good in Toronto. The snow typifies the character of the inhabitants. John Dunlop was radiant with delight and his smile went away back as far as the eye could reach; and the merriment in Tom Manton's eyes never failed an instant. W. J. Lawrence and his song birds made abundant melody. A better pro- gram of song and speech never graced a carnation banquet. One man from the east made it his honeymoon trip, but the name takes up too much space and you will have to guess it. P. Beuerlein, of Long Island, slept in his fur cap, as usual. He was the only Pete never kicker against the climate, could stand the cold." D. J. Sinclair, who has the onlv whole- 782 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Januabt 31, 1907. sale houses in Canada, has a cinch and looks it. He is a young man of great ambition and energy and speaks enthusi- astically of the future of the cut flower business there. William P. Craig and his new fern were both impressive and have both come to stay for many a year, we hope. Richard Witterstaetter grows more Aristocratic every year. His exhibits were centers of interest. Harry Bunyard felt the influence of the "sozodont" in the air and kept his companions merry. Some of the Chicago ladies put the surplus wealth of their worser halves into Canadian furs, a wise and unregrettable decision. The new secretary of the S. A. F. said his year's salary was large- ly provided for in this practical way and George Asmus thinks furs are better and safer any day than diamonds. Late trains were the fashion last week. Strange to say the train from Philadel- phia was on time and Boston five hovirs behind. The consensus of opinion is that this was the best convention in the history of the Carnation Society. So say all of us and "God save the King." J. Austin Shaw. MR. WARD'S ADDRESS. [The reply to the Lientenaut-Governor's ad- dress of welcome to the American ('arnntioii Society, at Toronto, January 23, 1907, by Chas. Willis Ward, of Queens, N. Y.] That which impresses Americans most when they consider their Canadian neigh- bors is the vastness of the still undevel- oped resources of Canada. Some of Canada's Resources. From the Atlantic to Lake Winnipeg, and from the northern boundary of Lake Superior to near the southern shore of Hudson bay, are still standing countless thousands of millions of valuable tim- bered forests, and the same is true along the western borders of the Rocky moun- tains, among the Selkirks and bordering the Pacific ocean from Vancouver north- ward to Alaska. While I have no figures to support the assertion, I will risk the opinion that Canada has today ten times the area standing in original forests than now remains in the United States, and the day is not far distant when the largest proportion of the timber con- sumed in the United States must of necessity be drawn from Canadian for- ests. Again, Canada has almost exhaustlesa deposits of both anthracite, bituminous and splint- coals, the extent of which have not yet been determined, but which may be fairly said to reach along the base of the Rocky mountains from the northern border of the United States well up into the Saskatchewan region and possibly to the shores of the Arctic ocean. Your grazing lands extend from the western line of your midcontinental tim- ber belt to the Rocky mountains, and from the northern line of Minnesota northward almost to the region of per- petual snow. And a large proportion of these grazing lands are especially adapted to grain raising and give as rich crops as were ever garnered from the richest grain raising districts of In- diana, Illinois, Minnesota and the Da- Charlcs Willis Ward. kotas in- their palmiest days, and Canada is rapidly becoming the granary of thu American continent. Then, too, a large proportion of the agricultural lands lyinjr between the Muskoka lake district and the Atlantic ocean are particularly adapted to the raising of wheat, barley and oats and serve to lend additional importance to Canada's immense grain productiveness; and the same can bf said of a large proportion of the for- ested area lying between the Selkirk range and the Pacific ocean. A considerable portion of your land-; lying along the borders of the United States are well adapted to the raisint; of apples, pears, plums and cherries, so that the Canadian people need not suffer for the want of wholesome, home-growii fruits. Floriculture. Canadian florists have already made their mark as expert growers of green house products and on no part of the American continent are better and more perfect roses, carnations, chrysanthe- mums and violets produced than are grown by the leading florists of Toronto and its contiguous territory; and it has always been a pleasure for the members of the American Carnation Society and other kindred bodies to have with them their brother Canadian florists, as they have found them to be gentlemen well schooled in their profession and well fitted to give practical and valuable ad- vice. American Breeders' Association. It has just been my pleasure to at- tend the sessions of the American Breed- ers' Association held last week at Co- lumbus, Ohio, where during a period of five days I was called upon to preside at numerous sessions of its plant breeding section, and I can assure you Canadians, that we consider among our most val- uable members the representatives of your different experiment stations, who have proven themselves to be among the • most enthusiastic of our members and who have demonstrated their fitness to hold their positions by showing us the immensely practical results that have been secured in their experimental work. And they are now working hand and glove with the experimenters of the United States for the purpose of im- proving all horticultural products, as well as all branches of the animal rais- ing industry; and I can assure you that the joint efforts of the practical experi- menters of the two nations will certainly produce better results far more rapidly than if either nation attempted to go it alone. The Gtnadian People. When we come to compare the people of Canada with those of the United States, we find them to be practically of the same type and practically of the same origin. They are essentially Amer- ican, each as much as the other. They are a vigorous, virile and energetic race, the result of the development of the human family upon this vast American continent. And I believe them to be practically the same people throughout, actuated by the same high ideals of brotherhood, honesty and fair dealing and both nations bent upon the develop- ment of our continental resources to the utmost. Our continent is a vast and fertile one. Its natural resources are not yet fully understood, and perhaps are not to be fully measured for centuries to come. r January 31, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 783 Our people being practically a homo- jTcneous one, there can be no such race differences as exist upon the European continent, where several radically differ- tMit types of mankind are cooped up within narrow boundaries which are so licnsely populated that annual migrations ,,, other sections of the world are abso- lutely necessary in order to even up the Struggle for existence. There can be no ^;uch difference in nationality as should ( ause material differences between the |, copies and we should live in peace and harmony, free for all time from the dis- cords that have perennially arisen among llic densely populated nations of the Eu- i,)pean continent, where the struggle for existence has become so tense. Personal Experiences With Canadians. I must confess that I have a high re- gard for the people of Canada, for a considerable number of my own rela- tives are Canadians. Then, too, I have had a wide experience in the employ- ment of Canadians in a practical busi- ness way. In my younger days I con- ducted large timber cutting operations in the lower peninsula of Michigan and ii large percentage of my best woodsmen were Canadians. We invariably found that we secured the best choppers and sawyers, and the most careful and effi- cient teamsters from the ranks of the (Canadians who annually came to Mich- igan to work in the lumber camps through the winter and returned to Can- ada, to care for their farms, during the summer season. For the past twenty-five years I have employed young ladies in the capacity of stenographers, bookkeepers and pri- vate secretaries in my office, and three of the most efficient of them all were Canadian girls. Each one of them won my respect and esteem by the conscien- tious, faithful and efficient manner in which she discharged her duties, as well as by the ability which she displayed in her work, and I can truly say that they proved particularly efficient and con- genial helpers. A short time since I was taken ill in the city of Saginaw, Michigan, and when I requested my doctor to send me the most efficient trained nurse he could find in that city, he sent me a Canadian; and he afterwards told me that the best nurses that had come under his observa- tion were Canadians. And a number of years ago, when Mrs. Ward went through a severe surgical operation and we asked one of the hospitals to furnish us with the most competent, conscientious and careful nurse that they could find, they sent us a Canadian; and that same nurse went down to her death in the flood at Galveston, her arms filled with little children whom she was vainly trying to save. I count among my dearest friends many Canadians, and I can assure you all that the people of the United States hold the people of Canada in high re- spect and esteem. They are glad to see Canada develop and the Canadian people prosper. No jealousy or envy of Cana- dian prosperity exists among them and they will always stand ready to greet their Canadian brethren and applaud their accomplishments and exploits, and will always wish Canada Godspeed and the maximum measure of development, that she may fulfil to the fullest extent her manifest destiny. I can truly say that every citizen of the United States will join me in an. All Iiail to Canada! All hail to the Canadian people! R. O. King. And now a word to my brotlier (a :i dian florists. You all of you know tha; we of the United States have for manj years held you in the highest e^^toe.i and the members of the American Carna- tion Society and the Society of Amer- ican Florists, have many times welcome I you heartily to their annual gatherings, and we have sought to make those wel- comes pleasant and instructive ones, and we know that you have appreciated them, for have you not in turn invited us to meet with you and have you not here today shown that you are capable of welcoming your brethren from the United States even more heartily than they have hitherto welcomed you? Gen- tlemen, the visiting carnationists from the United States thoroughly appreciate the heartiness of your greetings and they will long remember this most auspicious occasion. And we all of us have come to the conclusion that when we decided to honor our American Carnation So- ciety by electing a Canadian as its pres- ident, we made no mistake when we named your honored and worthy towns- man, John H. Dunlop. GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION. [A synopsis of a paper by R. O. King, North Touuwanda. N. Y., read before the American Carnation Society at the Toronto Convention.] During the last few years many papers have been read on greenhouse construc- tion. The general methods of con- struction have been thoroughly described and most of the growers are agreed, for instance, that cypress is about the best thing to use for the woodwork, that iron posts, are better than wood posts, that an iron gutter is better than a wood gutter, etc. All of these things are so familiar that it is hardly worth while going into further discussion about them. It will, perhaps, be more interesting to take up some points of greenhouse con- struction which are just as important, but which have not received as much at- tention. For instance, the use of glass up to twenty-four inches in width makes a lighter and less expensive house than narrow glass. The choice of locality for a greenhouse plant should depend, among other things, on the amount of light available. The application of the scien- tific principles used in the design of large buildings and bridges to green- house construction is something which should interest the grower as well as the designer. The application of these prin- ciples has not been necessary in the ordi- nary construction of small houses, where the accumulated experience of many years has been a sufficient guide. When, however, it is necessary to design a house unlike anything previously constructed there is, of course, no experience to fall back on, so a safe design can only be worked out by the application of the fcientific methods referred to. Wide Glass. Some years ago 16-inch glass was con- sidered about the limit for greenhouse construction. More recently 18-inch glass has been used. In Canada a num- ber of plants are built with 20-inch double diamond English glass. Twenty- inch glass is probably selected because twenty inches square is a good size for butting and it doas not exceed forty united inches. In the United States, where lapped glass is most generally used, the size most in use is 16x24, with 784 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 31, 1907. the bars sixteen inches apart. A few of the more daring growers liave risked building their houses with the bars twenty-four inches apart and using this same size glass. In our own experience, a number of customers have put the glass in this way. In only one case do we know of any trouble having occurred. Such great advantages in economy of material and the lightness of construc- tion are obtained by the use of this wide glass that it is worth making some study of the requirements that are necessary for the satisfactory use of 24-inch glass. Breakage from Hail. It seems unlikely that 24-inch glass will suffer any more damage from hail than 16-inch glass.' The reason of this is that glass laid the 24-inch way has more of a chance to spring than glass laid the 16-inch way, so that in case of a sharp blow, such as from a hailstone, 24-inch glass, although really weaker, can give way more without breaking than can the 16-inch glass. Consequently the extra spring makes up for the extra weakness. This action of hail was well illus- trated at the Lancaster, N. Y., plant of W. J. Palmer & Son. In July, 1905, a hail storm passed over this plant and broke considerable glass. The house with 24-incli glass, which had just been built, did not suffer any more in proportion than the houses with 16-inch glass. In fact, the greatest damage was done on some 10-inch glass, though this was single thick. It seems that a hailstone big enough to break 24-inch glass will be big enough to break 16-inch glass, so the danger from hail need not worry anyone who wishes to use wide glass. Dead Weight on Glass. Glass is likely to be broken by the dead weight of large accumulations of snow and ice. For this reason it is in- teresting to determine just what weight glass can stand. In Canada, where every- one believes we have a great deal of snow, a number of growers are using 20- inch English double diamond. Now- English double diamond is about as heavy as American single thick. A box of fifty feet of American single thick glass is supposed to weigh seventy pounds, while a box of 100 feet of English double diamond is supposed to weigh 140 pounds. It follows from this that our Canadian friends are using 20- inch single thick glass in localities where much more snow may be expected than in localities in the United States. In addi- tion to this, more of the greenhouse plants in Canada are built on the ridge and furrow system, so that they get the full benefit of the weight of a sudden snow storm. We have made some tests of the strength of American double thick glass taken the long way and the accompany- ing table shows the results obtained; Test of Breaking Strength of 16x24 American, Double Thick, A Glass. Supports 24 inches apart. Sand nsed forloadiDgr.

The peculiar point about these results is that the strength does not depend at all on the thickness. You will notice that one light of almost the same thick- ness as the light which took 110 pounds to break, broke at only forty pounds. Another peculiar feature you will notice is that although the glass is supposed to be double thick, and each light should therefore weigh four pounds eleven and one-half ounces in order to make ninety pounds to a box of nineteen lights, there is not one light up to weight. You will probably find that this is the general case and although you pay for double thick glass you really get what ought to be called single thick. Thickness of Glass. The glass taken for our test was se- lected at random and the weights found therein are confirmed by some weights taken a short time ago in Philadelphia. Selecting two boxes at random each light was weighed carefully and in one box fourteen lights out of the nineteen weighed less than four pounds each. In the other, thirteen lights out of nineteen weighed less than four pounds each, and some of them were very much less than four pounds each. Leaving out of con- sideration two of three extra heavy lights in each box, the remainder of the glass was practically single thick.' This prob- ably explains why Canadian growers find English double diamond really as strong as American double thick. In order to cover this point the weight of six boxes from two different factories was taken. This glass was all labeled "A double thick" and was as fine looking glass as one usually sees. The average weight of one lot was 76.8 pounds per box and the other 80.8 pounds per box, making both lights in your house which will only stand forty pounds and others which will stand over 100 pounds you must expect that the weak ones will go first. As glass is now manufactured it is perhaps im- possible to devote special attention to greenhouse requirements. The glass peo- ple say that the workmen do not like to make greenhouse sizes because they can make more money on larger sizes. The greenhouse trade, however, is increasiui: rapidly and improvements are being made in the manufacture of glass, so tbat perhaps sometime we will be fortunm,' enough to have a factory making gltis^ especially adapted for greenhouse work. Sunshine in Different Localities. In locating a greenhouse the only thiii.* not usually considered is the amount o*' sunlight that is to be expected. Yei there is nothing more important and a guarantee of a good measure of sunlight would be a valuable asset for a greei- house plant. Localities only 100 or 20'i miles apart are found to have greatly different amounts of sunshine during tiio winter months. For instance, before lo- cating the United States Cut Flower Co. plant at Elmira it was found that tho sunshine to be expected in that locality is about double what would be expecte-l in Buffalo. In order to illustrate the great difference in sunshine for different localities a table has been prepared cov- ering the winter months for the last two years. It is only possible to give ob- servation for points widely separated, owing to the extent of the territory covered, but it should be kept in minil that the difference shown by the table as occurring between points widely sepa- Sunshine.

Eeferring again to the test of the strength of glass, the peculiar fact that the strength does not depend on the thickness is probably explained by differ- ence in annealing. If the glass for a greenhouse is to be selected from the point of view of strength, then no other qualification is more important and we should have some guarantee from the makers that the glass has been properly annealed. The purchase of properly an- nealed glass has not been given sufficient attention and it is very likely that a great deal of the annual breakage of glass in greenhouses is due to defective annealing. Certainly if you put some rated may also occur between what might be called local points, as in the ease of Buffalo and Elmira as already re- ferred to. Though it is perhaps unnecessary, or rather unwise, to start a discussion as to the relative merits of houses built de- tached or built on the ridge and furrow system, still the consideration of this sunshine table leads to the observation that as lack of sunshine is the condition that confronts most of us, it is just as well to build houses to suit that condi- tion. Now, to meet that condition you must try to cover as much ground surface as possible with as little structural material as you can get along with. The way to cover ground with a small Jan u All Y 31, 1907. The Wc^y Florists^ Review, 785 quantity of material is to use the ridge and furrow system, making the pitch of the roof as low as possible and using as wide glass as you will risk. Remember- ing that we are meeting the condition of no sunshine, it also follows that it does not matter whether the houses run north and south or east and west. Finally, provided your houses are built to meet that worst of conditions, no sunshine, will they not then take care of them- selves under better conditions; that is, with sunshine? The Widest Span to Date. It may be interesting to describe the process of designing a new type of greenhouse for which practically no data is furnished by previous actual building experiences. A design for an even-span house 150 feet wide and having only five rows of supporting posts has recently been completed. This house is a great departure from present standards and will set a record for wide houses which is not likely to be surpassed for some time, or at least until we can profit from the success or failure of the gentlemen who are willing to experiment on such a grand scale. Beginning with the glass, it is desired to lay it with the suporting bars twenty- four inches apart. Referring to the table before stated, it is found that the aver- per foot. Adding two and one-half pounds per square foot to cover the weight of the glass and bars we have ten pounds per square foot as the total working load for the truss. Supposing the posts are spaced eight feet four inches apart lengthwise of the house, then each truss has to carry a total working load of 2,333 pounds. This loading may be considered as be- ing distributed at the joints and the ends of the truss. The stress or strains pro- duced in the members of the truss can now be determined by means of the de- vice known as the stress or strain dia- gram. After finding in this way the strain in each member of the truss, cal- culations must be made to obtain the correct size for each. For instance, if the sash bar is of cypress, then it must be heavy enough to stand a working end strain of the 3,200 pounds. In the case under discussion it has been calculated that this bar must be l%x2K', this size giving a working end strain of 3,200 pounds and a breaking strain of 12,800 pounds. The lower member, which must carry 3,000 pounds, is in tension, so should be of iron or steel and by a sepa- rate calculation it is found that %-inch diameter is suitable for this strain. The other members of the truss are propor- tioned in the same way. Having now designed the truss to carry OILED CLOTH FOR PROTECTION, Will you please give me directions for preparing cotton cloth, with boiled oil and rosin, for covering frames? It is so warm here, Miami, Fla., that we do not need glass protection, but build our houses with lattice for protection against, wind storms. I think the oiled cloth will keep out tlie too hot rays of the sun. J. W. W. I can see no reason why cloth could not be used to advantage for this pur- pose, particularly as far south as Miami,. Fla. Would suggest raw, rather thani boiled oil, as the latter stains the cloth and thus impedes the light. As light ia so essential to plant life, it is impor- tant such covering be made as transpar- ent as possible. The following furmula is generally used in preparing cloth for this purpose: Six pints of raw oil, two ounces of sugar of lead, eight ounces of white rosin. This preparation is applie.i Wednesday evening, January 23, at th-,- Hotel Martinique, New York city. Th;! interest manifested in the coming meet ing at Washington, from various parts of the country, was most encouraging. The special prize schedule which we have to offer is greater than ever before and several more will be added to the list, the determination being to make this a very successful exhibit. A committee was appointed to wait on President Roosevelt and invite his pres- ence at the show as may suit his con- venience. The full schedule of the society will be issued within a very few days. Benjamin' Hammond, Sec'y. The special prizes include $50 and $25 for fifty blooms American Beauty. The Lord & Burnham trophy, valued at $250, will be awarded in conjunction with the first (cash) prize in this class, and will become the property of the competitor winning it twice, consecutively or other- wise. It has now been won once by Waban Rose Conservatories and once by George Burton, Chestnut Hill, Pa. For the best display of cut roses, all varieties, the Dorrance challenge cup, value $250, offered by Benj.

Zanesville, O. — In December A. R. Edwards opened a flower and seed store at 48 North Fourth street. He had an excellent Christmas business and has every prospect for a good spring trade. SEEN AT TORONTO. The show of carnation blooms at To- ronto was a remarkable one for uniform high quality. The finest of the blooms may not have been any better than the best that have been shown at some pre- vious exhibitions, but I feel safe in say- ing that there were less blooms shown that were below a good average exhibi- tion quality. Any new variety that was not of Enchantress size had no show for any of the medals. Only three cer- tificates were given. It remains to be seen whether these varieties will score as high in the growers' estimation after they are disseminated ; and also whether some of those that were left at the post in this short distance race will not pull up winners in the long race that will follow their dissemination. This has happened many times in the past and those who have followed the exhibitions know better than to try to judge a va- riety 's commercial value wholly by the show it makes on the exhibition table. You can, of course, make up your mind as to whether the color, size, form, calyx, stem and keeping qualities are desirable, but that is as far as you can go. And the wise ones will recognize the fact that there are other very important points to a paying carnation. The variety that was there in largest quantity was Winsor. There were vases of it in every part of the hall, besides a large mirror decoration, which was made over the second day. The color of this variety is distinct and beautiful, both by day and under artificial light. Pink Imperial was there in fine shape ; it is a fine keeper. Aristocrat is a large, round bloom and has a fine stem. The color when the bloom is young has a pleasing carmine cast which lights up beautifully by arti- ficial light. It traveled in good shape from Joliet to Toronto. Beacon showed up ahead of all other scarlets. The color is orange-scarlet, better than many so-called scarlets we have had. In size and general make- up it reminds one of Enchantress. White Enchantress as shown by F. R. Pierson Co. needs no further comments than that it is what the name implies. F. Burki showed a fine vase of his namesake, which was a surprise to many who grew it last year. Alma Ward made perhaps the biggest show of any one vase. The blooms are of extra large size, with large, broad petals, but hardly full enough. The calyx is fine and stem extra long and strong. A very showy variety. Mrs. C. W. Ward is a greatly im- proved Mrs. Lawson; larger bloom and longer stem ; color about the same as Mrs. Lawson. No. 20, by Bassett & Washburn, is a fine, large red with a good stem and calyx. The color is bright red border- ing on scarlet. The bloom is of good form and deeply fringed. Elsa, as shown by Cottage Gardens, is a beautiful thing. The color is more salmon than in Lawson and lights up January 31, 1007. The Weekly Florists' Review* 787 l)cautifully at night. Fine, round form :tnd good size. A little short in stem as compared with others. Bed Biding Hood did not show up to ny expectations. I have heard it :. raised very highly. Marchioness, shown by L. E. Mar- juisee, traveled poorly and failed to re- vive sufficiently to show its merits. Helen Gould is a beautiful striped port of Enchantress and, like Imperial, -should prove valuable for some kinds ,)f work. Excelsior, shown by the Dale Estate, looks like a rose-pink sport from En- ■ hantress. If it is such, it is the bright- est colored one I have yet seen. No. 348, by Dailledouze Bros., is a line, large bloom of Lawson shade. There were a few bunches of Lady Bountiful, and for general excellence this variety is hard to beat. But White Perfection was great. Bed Lawson stands no show alongside the newer scarlets on account of its dull color. Flamingo was outclassed. Vic- tory holds its lead. It always travels well. Craig was good. Toreador won a certificate of merit. It is a decided improvement on Pros- perity. The bloom is fuller, the calyx is better and the stem holds the bloom upright. Harvard, by J. D. Cockcroft, is a greatly improved Harlowarden, much larger in size and better color; a fine keeper. Margaret, shown by the E. G. Hill Co., is a beautiful dark pink color, fine stem and calyx, but hardly large enough. No. 32, by J. Beimels, was one of the three that were certificated. It is a scarlet of brilliant shade, has large size, a fine stem and calyx; a well formed flower that is deeply fringed. Bay State is a fine variegated, on a 30-inch stem. It was certificated. Afterglow, shown by William Nichol- son, showed up fine. This variety has always struck my fancy. There were -a dozen other good things, and several exhibits failed to arrive in time because of bad weather. To do full justice to all I would have to mention every vase in the show. The E. G. Hill Co. showed a fine bunch of the new rose, Bhea Beid. This is entirely distinct and is making a hit wherever it is shown. One novelty that took my eye was the pliers and clips for mending split carna- tion calyxes. There has never been a practical method for preventing split- ting among carnations and something of this kind has been sadly needed. A. F. J. Baub. EARLY PLANTING. I will be glad if you will give me your opinion of the following: I am thinking of planting my greenhouse 33x 80, solid beds, with one variety of car- nation, and that the Enchantress. I have to depend on shipping about all I grow, and thought that variety would be the most profitable to plant. I ex- pect to plant right in the house, along in May. Would I make a mistake in this plan? The above would be all I plant. In planting in the house early would you make the soil rich? Now, if I would add any other color, would I plant one .variety of red and one of white? Suggest the best. M. W. W. Your plan of planting your carnation plants in the house in May ought to work well, and Enchantress will pay you about as well as any variety you could grow, if you plant only one variety. The color is popular at present and that variety will produce high-grade blooms. You will find that inasmuch as your carnation cut will not be large you will have to turn out a superior grade in orcfer to dispose of them to advantage. I would suggest that you add a white variety, which could be White Perfec- tion or Lady Bountiful. Either one will prove profitable. In red I would sug- gest Victory. Make the soil just about as rich as you would for fall planting. Later on you can mulch and feed as much as the plants will stand, and the results will be better. Set your plants 10x12 inches. This will seem a little far apart to you at first, but they will take up the room later on, when the light is the weakest and when crowding will do the most harm. Plant only good plants so that there will be as little loss as possible during the summer. A, F. J. B. CARNATIONS BURSTING. I have a bench of Flora Hill and Queen Louise carnations that burst bad- ly, not only a few, but every bloom. I have kept them a little dry, giving all ventilation possible and have not fed them in any way. Temperature from 50 to 55 degrees. They were planted Octo- ber 1 in rotted pasture land sod, sandy loam with one-quarter well rotted cow manure added. They burst from the start. What can I do to overcome it? Enchantress and Boston Market, in the same house, do not burst. We have had over two months of cloudy weather. E. H. 0. Flora Hill and Queen Louise natur- ally burst to some extent during the winter, ev«n when handled with great care; and you may be sure that when they are planted as late as you did yours and subjected to such unfavorable weath- er as you have had they will do little else. There is no remedy that will give you immediate relief. You must wait until toward spring, when the days are longer and brighter; then it will disappear. If you had planted them six weeks ear- lier you would not be having so much trouble. But why grow these old, in- ferior varieties when there are such va- rieties as Lady Bountiful, Vesper, White Perfection, White Enchantress and The Queen to be had? Any of these will make you more money with far less worry. Keep your stock up to date; it will pay you. . A. F. J. B. NEW ORLEANS. The Approachii)£ Convention. The Society of Southern Florists met January 25. Almost the last arrange- ments were made for the first conven- tion, which will take place in New Or- leans February 14 to 16. The program will be as follows: FIRST DAY. 10:30 A. M. Address by the mayor of the city. Keply by Prof. Stubbs, of the experimental station. President's address. Discussion on address. Question box. A pai)er, "Chrysanthemum Growing Under Glass In the South," by F. P. Davis, Mobile, Ala. EVENING SESSION, 7:30 P. M. Selection of next meeting place. Nomination of officers. A paper, "Best Orchids for Cut Flowers to Grow in the South," by Jas. Newsham, New Orleans. Reception of. president. SECOND DAY. Uutinlsbed business. Discussion on ways and means for the ad- vancement of horticulture In the south. A paper, "Packing and Express Rates," by C. W. Elchllng, New Orleans. A paper, "Koses Under Glass in the South," by Robert Lockerbie, New Orleans. Question box. EVENING SESSION. Question box. Balloting of officers. A paper, "What the South Can Grow to Ad- vantage for the Northern Markets," by C. W. Withers, New Orleans. A paper, "Insects Injurious to Plants, and Remedies," with Illustrations, by Prof. Newel. THIRD DAY. Question box. A paper, "CarnatJons Under Glass In the South," by F. B. Patterson, Montgomery, Ala. A paper, "Needs of the Retail Trade In the South," by Charles Eble, New Orleans. A paper, "Elements of Horticulture In Pri- vate Schools," by B. Baker, New Orleans. The meeting place will be in a cen- tral location on Canal street. Part of the hall has been taken already by our city florists and from the applications received from outsiders we are assured that in the trades' display the south and the north will be well represented. The New Orleans Horticultural Society, wishing to give a hand and a good send- off to the new organization, has voted a handsome sum for the entertainment of the guests and this, added to the subscription among the members of the Society of Southern Florists, will fur- nish ample means to give the visitors a grand reception. The society's initiation fee is $1, to be sent to Joseph Steckler, of the Steck- ler Seed Co., New Orleans. Every flo- rist in the south should join this so- ciety, which will become strong in the near future. Application for space must be sent to E. Baker, 2263 Carondelet street. New Orleans. Any information about rooms, hotel, railroad fare, will be cheerfully given by M. M. de Lapouyade, 4416 Bienville avenue, chairman of re- ception committee. Various Notes. Owing to a mild winter, business seems to open sooner than usual. The markets are better every week. Many flowers will be needed for the next two or three weeks, for balls and decora- tions, and no doubt outside stock will help, and whatever deficiency there is we will have to supply from the north. Jas. Newsham is expecting his first consignment of orchids from Central America. George Thomas has been successful with an early crop of sweet peas. M. Cook & Son make a specialty of sweet olives, which they grow in large quantity from layers. Bobert Lockerbie, formerly with the Metairie Bidge Nursery Co., has started on his own account at 4161 Herville street. M. M. L. Two BiVEBS, Wis. — Louis Hartung, who was burned out a few months ago, has rebuilt his greenhouses with enlarged capacity. Muskegon, Mich. — L. Wasserman is adding two more houses to the large area already under glass. He also has built a large barn and stable. Jeannette, Pa. — Ernest Zanarini has gone into partnership with Ph. Govaert and the firm name will hereafter be Go- vaert & Co., landscape architects. Springfield, III. — Thomas Peaker has completed a greenhouse 11x90 and is using it to start vegetable plants. He plans to put up more glass shortly. 788 The Weekly Florists' Review* January 31, 1907. m is printed Wednesday eveoing and mailed early Thursday morning;.

Enclosed I hand you a money order to renew my subscription to the Review. The advertisement last issue brought me the stock I have wanted to get for quite a while. It shows that a classified ad- vertisement in the Review is sure to bring results. I find you are about the fairest people that I have ever dealt with and if at any time I should have a surplus, or if I needed any stock not advertised, you will hear from me with another advertisement. Thomas Tullie. Edgewood, R. I. ADVERTISING AND READERS. The following from a speech by H. R. Clissold, of the Bakers' Helper, deliv- ered before a congressional body consid- ering change in postal laws, is particu- larly illustrative of the attitude of the florist to the advertising in his trade paper : **The trade paper differs radically, also, from the newspaper and the maga- zine in the fact that to its readers the advertisements in its pages are a vital feature. The advertisements in the trade paper are to its readers the very marrow of their business. Not only would no subscriber to them desire their elimina- tion, but most of them would seriously complain of the lessened value of the periodical if they were absent." CARNATION DAY. Carnation day has come and gone, and with it something learned that may be to our advantage. We must wake up! Here is an El- dorado for us — another floral holiday born but a few years. It is noticeable that the press has com- mented on it more than ever this year. When the press takes hold of anything the people will take hold. Americans will not let this spark of patriotism die out — it will grow and each year will find a greater demand for flowers. The colors mostly sought were deep pink and red — they went fast — one or two at a time, but in the aggregate many. There are many ways you can awaken an interest in this day. A few days previous get a large pic- ture of McKinley, drape it and put it in your window, with a few vases of carna- tions. Have plenty of reminders inside and outside of your store — get your home paper to write up the occasion — put a carnation on your own coat, and you won't have to wait for customers. J. L. J. THE READERS' CORNER. Cleaning Greenhouse Glass. I wish to tell J. P. H. how I clean my greenhouse glass. My glass is the worst I have ever seen and I use muri- atic acid. I would advise J. P. H. to use the raw acid the first time and after- wards use water and acid. Use one cup of acid to two cups of water, and if that is too strong use your own jmlir. ment; you will soon get on to it. Two 10-foot boards with steps nailed on for a 16-foot board to rest on will support two men while working on the roof. Do not wet the glass the first tinit.- and do not let the acid dry on the glass but wash it off. Work both ends so thai one end will be dry all the time. I hav,- tried almost every way, but I find this way the best. Two men can clean 2,0(i(i feet of glass per day. M. E. Atkinson. SOaETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. State Vice-presidents. President William J.

Wilmore, Denver, Colo.; price, 35 cents.] One of the most attractively printed of the many cultural monographs now coming from the press is that of W. W. Wilmore, who states in his preface that he has devoted twenty-five years of his life to a study of the dahlia. In the sixteen illustrated pages of his pam- phlet, Mr. Wilmore aims to present such information as is commonly called for by those who are seeking to make a suc- cess of the dahlia as a garden flower. He does not seek to cover the subject in the most minute detail, but to set forth the needs of the dahlia in an easily un- derstandable style. He devotes a chap- ter to soil and location, another to fer- tilizers, one to planting and watering and the other details of culture. A couple of pages are given to propaga- tion, one to insect pests and a paragraph to storage of roots. The suggestions as to the varieties to plant are brief. Inci- dentally he says: "As a rule I think the purchaser, unless he is familiar with varieties, will do well to leave the selec- tion to some responsible grower or dealer, simply stating the colors and types wanted, together with the purpose for which they are to be grown." The book- let is in no sense an advertising cata- logue and will be read with interest by everyone who grows the dahlia. January 31, 1907.

Mention The BcTlew when yon write. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. A few clays of genuine winter weather have done something to improve the quality of stock but little toward in- creasing the quantity, for most of the time it has been cloudy. There are now liberal supplies of carnations and it is usually possible to fill all orders unless received at such a late hour that just the grade or color wanted have been sold. McKinley day, January 29, did not make even a ripple on the surface. The demand continues to be principally for white, but red is first cleaned up be- cause in lightest supply. Prices, in the face of increased receipts, have made a slight advance in the days when demand showed itself strongest. The market has been erratic, some days brisk, and some days dull. If the dark weather continues much longer we shall be wholly without roses. Eeceipts are steadily on the down grade. The only limit to prices is the point be- yond which retailers can no longer use the stock; in fact, many of them say they are not now able to make a profit on roses, the price on shorts being above where they can use them to advantage for funeral work. Best Bride and Maid occasionally sell for $20 per hundred, and Killarney and Kichmond still bring $25 per hundred for the small propor- tion of extra fancy stock received. Of course the bulk are in the class bring- ing from $8 to $15. Chatenay is not much in evidence. • There are liberal receipts of violets and they sell none too well. Bulbous stock is more abundant. There are large quantities of white tulips and yellow is received in much larger numbers. Ked and other sorts are steadily gaining in volume. Paper Whites and Eomans are not so plentiful as they were and are bringing a shade better prices. Easter lilies are scarce, and callas frequently are hard to find. Daffodils sell well and freesia usually moves quickly. A few poet's narcissi have arrived. The better class of stores are handling mignonette quite freely, but only the best will do. Sweet peas clean up within the hour re- ceived. Green goods are in light supply. There is a shortage of bunches of plumosus and Sprengeri. Adiantum, too, is scarce and advancing in price. The strings of smilax are short and light and one fre- quently has to skirmish to find strings of asparagus. There is plenty of cold storage wild smilax and it is selling well. Winandy Sale. The trustees in bankruptcy having in charge the assets of Michael Winandy have secured an order looking to the sale of all the personal property of the bankrupt and his interest in the real estate. Bids are to be received up to 10 a. m. Wednesday, February 6, at which hour they are to be presented be- fore Sidney C. Eastman, referee in bank- ruptcy. The trustees are Peter Eeinberg, Carl Ickes and Peter Kransz. Retailers^ Association. The Retail Florists' Association held its annual meeting at Handel hall Janu- ary 24. The following officers were elected: President, George Walther; vice-president, George Asmus; secretary, A. Lange; treasurer, C. H. Fisk. The association has been resting on its oars the last few months. President Walther proposes to have the matter of credits taken up. There is no doubt that every retailer is carrying more money on his books than good business would justify, and the same may be said of the gentlemen from whom the retail- ers buy. The Lily Prospects. W. L. Palinsky ventures the opinion that lilies will not be especially abun- dant for Easter. Because of the early date the stock cannot waste time or it will not be ready. Then, too, much dis- ease has developed. He took 5,000 longi- florum multiflorum from three sources. Each lot is about like the others and the loss is twenty-five to thirty per cent. Mr. Palinsky says Sam Pearce told him his own loss would be close to forty per cent. The Best Carnations. August Poehlmann says that of all the new sorts seen at Toronto, Beacon looks best to him, although he will not go back on Victory, which he says is by all odds the best money maker of any red the Poehlmann Bros. Co. ever has grown. One of its best attributes is its shipping quality. He says seeing Winsor as shown at Toronto has proved to him that he was right when he bought 10,000 of this variety. Half of this number will b? grown this year, the other half being turned over to the Thomson Carnation Co., of Joliet. Winsor looks a splendid shipper, and a carnation that doesn't ship is no good in the Chicago market. 790 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 31, lOOl QUAILTY has improved under the influence of a few days of real winter weather. Stock now leaves httle to be desired, except that larger cuts would be welcome. While we have the finest Roses, Beatifies, Carnations, etc., the market affords, we also have enough short and medium grades for those who want them. No order too large for us to handle and none too small to receive careful attention. We have an eye to the future. Write, Wire or Piione— Today. AMERICAN BEAUTIKS Per doz.

Secretary Schupp, of the Florists' Club, is sending out notices to the local people to prepare for the Florists' Club carnation exhibition February 14. He also is writing the originators of novel- ties, etc., requesting exhibits. It is ex- pected a large attendance will be on hand that night, for much interest is taken in the new carnations and in see- ing what the local growers can show well done. Anyone having good stock is invited to show a few flowers. If he cannot bring them personally, they may be shipped in care of E. F. Winterson, 45 Wabash avenue, who has charge of the arrange- ments for staging the exhibits. VarioiM Notes. At the old John Brod place, at Niles Center, now owned by Albert Lies, D. J. Murphy is turning out some splendid roses. These are the narrow, short-span houses which have not been considered as specially good for rose culture. It is only another evidence that it is not so much the powder as the man behind the gun. N. C. Moore & Co. have in contempla- tion plans looking to the rebuilding of their older range of houses in the spring. It is reported from Moline that Henry Klehm, of Arlington Heights, is think- ing of opening a retail store in a va- cant room next the opera house there. To shoAV the importance of Valentine's day, A. L. Bandall states that last year his firm sold 160,000 violets that day. Prices were weak a year ago, but he says he expects to handle a larger num- ber of violets this year than last. Emil Buettner says he never has seen anything like the way white lilac has been called for this year. His first batch was cleaned out much sooner than expected and brought excellent prices. Bassett & Washburn made a splendid showing with their seedling No. 20 at the carnation convention last week, win- ning the S. A. F. bronze medal in the face of the closest competition ever known in this class. There were fifteen entries. No. 20 is a seedling of Pros- perity and Crane which they have been growing since 1902. They now have 1,200 plants. They contemplate send- ing the variety out in 1908. Peter Keinberg has been forcing val- ley only a few weeks, but few old hands at it can produce better stock than he has this week. The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. moved into its new store on the second floor of the Atlas block the first days of this week. As soon as they can get things painted they will be finely located. The E. F. Winterson Co. is taking in- ventory this week preparatory to mak- ing a number of changes in the method of handling the business. They will separate the several departments. E. F. Winterson will give his personal atten- tion to the cut flowers. L. H. Winter- son will manage the supply department and John Degnan have charge of the of- fice. One of the week's visitors was Mr. Miller, foreman for E. H. E. Green, Dallas, Tex., where they are doing tall stunts in the building line. At J. A. Budlong's, Nelson Fisher is considered the best dark pink carnation and Boston Market the best white. This year they will try Winsor and Aristocrat as rival pinks and White Perfection for fancy white. E. H. Hunt is receiving some Marie Louise violets grown in Michigan which bring better prices than the finest of Hudson river stock. They have not only size and color but fragrance. Sinner Bros, have invested in practi- cally all the new varieties of carnations for trial next season. O. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett leave next Monday for New York and Febru- ary 7 will sail on the Arabic for Egypt and the Nile. Eeturning they will spend some weeks in Europe, reaching Chi- cago about June 1. Vaughan & Sperry say they have en- joyed an excellent fortnight's business, showing a splendid increase as compared with a year ago. The appointment of Charles L. Hutch- inson to membership in the South parks board of commissioners secures to the public the services of a keen business man whose interest in horticulture is well known. Peter Keinberg and Matt Evert are busy booming Harrison for mayor. ST. LOUIS. The Market Business last week was considered good. The only trouble was the short- age of roses. During the week a num- ber of swell weddings, dinners and other entertainments used up considerable stock. Funeral work, too, had a big January 31, 1907.

Quite an improvement is noted in this line since the first of the year at the wholesale houses. During the last week we found carnations in good supply and the big demand cleaned up this stock each day. The rose market was stiff. The short- age seems general in all grades. Any- thing that looks good brings $8 per hundred, with extra fancy up to $15 per hundred. Violets have shortened again, owing to the cloudy weather; 50 cents per hundred is asked. Nothing but Cali- fornias in this market. Bulbous stock is quite plentiful, but the demand is good owing to plenty of funeral work. Romans and Paper Whites are of fine quality. Callas move well, also freesia and lily of the valley. A lot of short-stemmed tulips are com- ing in. In greens, a lot of bronze galax was sold last week. Smilax is plenti- ful, also Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri. Common ferns are up to $2 per thousand. Various Notes. At Henry Niemeyer's place all hands were busy cleaning tuberose bulbs. All stock is looking fine. A. G. Ahner, Sr., and A. G. Ahner, Jr., have their places in tip-top condi- tion. Extra fine Enchantress carnations and violets were seen there. Frank Vennemann, at Kirkwood, has quite an attraction in his potting shed in the shape of a picture gallery. He is long on fancy carnations and violets. Hugo Gross has a fine place, filled mostly with California violets and car- nations. Mr. Gross will build several new houses this summer. Albert Scheidegger has a fine lot of Rose-pink Enchantress, for which de- mand is good. A. Jablonsky has, at his Wellston place, a fine lot of longiflorum lilies in pans and pots which will ^ be in for Easter. Henry Emunds and E. W. Guy, of Belleville, were over last week buying supplies. Both report an excellent trade since the first of the year. Fred Foster had a fire recently at his residence. The damage is fully covered by insurance. Dr. A. S. Halstead, of Belleville, at- tended the carnation meeting at Toronto and is much pleased with the new va- rieties he saw. It has been reported that James Arata, who is with C. Young & Sons Co., will desert the ancient order of bachelors soon and become a benedict. Here are congratulations to the young lady. The showhouses of George Waldbart and Mrs. Ayers, on Grand avenue, were attractive last week with blooming stock of all kinds. The Florists* Club meeting, which will be held Thursday afternoon, February 14, will be of great importance to grow- ers of carnations. It will be our an- nual carnation meeting and all the new introductions will be on exhibition. Everybody is invited to meet with us, regardless of membership. A neat in- vitation will be sent out by the trustees this week. President Irish and aU the officers are making great efforts to bring out the full membership on this occa- sion. A number of visitors from out of the city are expected to be in attend- ance. J. J. B. VALLEY IN POTS. Will you kindly tell me at what time I should bring in valley pips to have them in bloom for Easter in a night temperature of about 50 degrees, planted in pots with soil? W. J. T. If the lily of the valley is needed for Easter, 1907, it must be potted without delay, as the great festival comes at an unusually early date, viz., March 31. It makes no difference whether the pips are potted in sand, moss or loam, as no roots are made while they are being forced. If placed in the light forth- with the plants at this early date will start very slowly and the stems are bound to be short. Can you not find some place in your house where you can box in a little place and keep it up to 65 or 70 degrees? If over the hot-water pipes it will answer all right. Plunge the pots in moss or any other plunging ma- terial, cover over with boards or heavy paper and keep dark until the stems are well up; then gradually expose to the light. We seem likely to have a rather severe winter. February is usually cold, with much sunless weather, and while the sun is at a considerably higher angle in March, we cannot depend too much on that month. Start the pips at once in as warm and dark a place as is at com- mand, keep them well watered and they should be in season for Easter. C. W. 792 The Weekly Rorists' Review* January 31, 1907.

The increase in the quantity of spring flowers is the feature of the market this week. Treesias are more plentiful, the finer grades having arrived in quantity. Pink tulips can now be had, in addi- tion to yellow and white. Daffodils are rather less plentiful, but there are a few good Golden Spurs. The bright, cold weather is putting more life into the roses and carnations, but there is no particular increase in the quantity. The demand is especially for pink and white, with the supply far below the require- ments. Beauties have advanced, the spe- cials bringing higher prices than at any time since Christmas. There are few medium grades, but shorts are fairly plentiful, the average quality being poor. Violets are selling better than for some time past. Prices are low for midwin- ter. A comparison with last season shows that ordinary grades of carna- tions are bringing from 50 cents to $1 per hundred more -now than then, but the supply is far below what we gen- erally have in the end of January. Cat- tleyas are quite plentiful and of fine quality. Gardenias are selling well, but the supply has fallen off a little. A nov- elty is Acacia pubescens. Mignonette is fine. Edward Towill, of Roslyn. Everybody knows Edward Towill, of Eoslyn, and will rejoice with me in the prosperity which is so evidently his this season. The street believes that this prosperity is due, first, to his acumen, or shall we say nerve, in taking up Eich- mond before the plain, everyday growers thought of it, and carefully distributing his stock among them. Next, to his foresight in selecting a certain rose which every one said had been unloaded on him, and growing it so well that one of our best buyers took his entire clip ^uring the winter months. The street «ven believes that the mighty Farenwald will grow two houses of this same rose, Towill stock, next season. The street further asserts that whereas any ordi- nary carnation grower, like Ward or Dailledouze, has to grow a thousand or THE Florists' Supply House of America We hold our place by the ever increaaingf Newness of our snoods.

Should you meet Edward Towill, of Eoslyn, and chance to tell him that he looks prosperous, he will assure you, artlessly, that any man may look so who lives near home, where he can run for a bite of lunch whenever he so pleases. A Letter from Brooklyn. John Scott, of Brooklyn, states in a letter to Phil that the quotation ascribed to him regarding Nephrolepis Amerpohlii published in this column January 10, "It is the best one yet," is too sweep- ing. Mr. Scott thinks Nephrolepis Amer- pohlii a beautiful thing, but he does not wish to be understood to say that it will outsell Nephrolepis Scottii or displace Nephrolepis "Whitmani until he has be- come more familiar with the promising newcomer. Riverton. George A. Strohlein, major general in command of the Dreer army at Eiverton during the brief absence of J. D. Eisele, pointed with pride to the fine color of the kentias. They do not by any means grow kentias to the exclusion of the other palms, but there are enough ken- tias alone to fill a medium sized place.

The novelty in palms, if that term is permissible in a commercial sense, is Phoenix Roebelenii, which five years ago was so scarce and expensive as to be almost unknown. It is now here in moderate numbers. This palm is ex- tremely graceful, with all the durability of its family. It is seen in from 5-inch to 7-inch pots and is worthy of careful inspection. One of the gems of the collection is a block of Cocos Weddelliana in 3 -inch pots reserved for offering next fall in 4-inch or 5-inch pots. The plants are perfectly developed, with the bloom of perfect health. Do not misunderstand me and cry : * * "What a liar 1 " I did not say the cocos were blooming in threes, but there is no word better than "bloom" describes that gloss or finish on the foliage that delights the heart of a grower. There were many other fine lots of C. Weddelliana, all bearing evidence that it is worth while to sow the seed of this deep-rooting palm in individual pots with a checkvalve in the bottom of each. There is always a struggle going on in every place between the growers, who want the best plants of a small size re- served for growing on, and the order pickers, who want the best for the or- ders they are filling. The interest of the place one would naturally suppose would require that the cream of the stock be reserved for the specimens, yet as a matter of fact it is rarely so, the case of the cocos being an exception. I hope some day it may be the rule. The dahlia roots are an interesting sight. Tall bins arranged in rows, each bin labeled with the name of the variety, on the front of each row a list of the varieties to be found in that row, the whole reminding one strongly of a well arranged public library. The room is frost proof. The dahlia is one of these happy neutral grounds in which grower and order picker can meet in harmony. 'Cause why? The little bulbs do just as well for propagating. Phil. Various Notes. The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. has a novelty this week in Acacia pubescens. These graceful yellow blossoms are much prized for table decorations. White vio- lets, another specialty of this company, are especially fine just now. Fred Brown, who has for the last two years been manager of the Bellevue- Stratford store of J. J. Habermehl's Sons, left January 23, to take charge of the store of J. H. Dunlop, Toronto, Can- ada. Mr. Bro\yn was very successful while in this city.

Each question will be submitted to a competent person and answered under number. Correct name and address must always accompany in- quiry, but will not be published. 60. Will a fine quality of sweet peas in the very best varieties have any market in your city during the summer months? A. There is an excellent demand at remunerative prices during the first three weeks in June. After that the demand, excepting for white, is irregular. Good flowers would probably bring from $2 to $2.50 a thousand; at times more. From this, commission and expressage must be deducted. 61. I am planning to grow two acres of asters. Can you give me any sug- gestions about shipping and marketing these and the sweet peas? A. Asters are much more likely to be profitable here than sweet peas during the summer months. At the distance you name from this market I would suggest arranging with the express company that the boxes go straight through in the shortest possible time; that your boxes be light and strong; the flowers care- fully bunched; firmly packed, not squeezed, and picked with the sole ob- ject of having them in perfect condition when they reach the market. Phil. BOSTON. The Market We have experienced severe weather during the last week. Boston recorded as low as 7 degrees below zero, while readings 25 and 30 degrees below were quite common within a radius of forty miles. For several days snow fell al- most steadily and we have had little clear weather. While flowers continue scarce, the severe weather has hurt the retailers' trade severely. While there is no great oversupply, prices, except on roses, have stiffened a little. Roses are abnormally scarce and prices continue high. Even short-stemmed Brides and Maids still bring $6 to $8 per hundred. The wholesale markets are hardly receiv- ing any roses, the leading growers not having sufficient to supply their regular customers. Some of the leading retail- ers are buying a large part of their sup- ply in New York and other markets. Carnations to a considerable extent are filUng the gap caused by the scarcity of roses. Even split flowers are real- izing $3 to $4 per hundred and there is a good number of these, due to the dark weather. Violets fluctuate all the way from 35 cents to $1. About 50 cents is a fair average price. Yellow dafl'odils sell extremely well, bringing up to $6 per hundred. Tulips also sell finely. La Reine being most in evidence. Paper Whites and Roman hyacinths never sold so well. "As a rule there is a glut of these at this season; now there are not enough to go around. Callas and Easter lilies are only in moderate supply, prices remain- ing about the same. Lily of the valley is in good supply and meets with a good sale. Green stock remains about the same. Pot plants are meeting with a slow sale. Some nice pans of bulbous stock, cyclamens, azaleas, primulas, marguer- ites, etc., are seen, but warmer weather is needed to move them.

Numerous questions were asked the lec- turer and a rising vote of thanks passed at the close. Mr. Lager brought with him a number of large maps on which he pointed out the homes of the vari- ous orchids and the route taken to reach them. Severe cold and the worst blizzard of the winter prevailed for the opening exhibition at Horticultural hall Janu- ary 26. In spite of these adverse con- ditions there was a fair display of plants and flowers, the primulas being especial- ly good. For six Primula Sinensis, Will- iam Whitman, M. Sullivan, gardener, led with a splendid lot. C. E. Talbot was second, and George M. Anderson third. For six Primula stellata, W. Whitman took both first and third prizes, Mrs. John L. Clardner, William Thatcher, gardener, being second. There was a splendid lot of Primula obeonica. For six plants, W. Whitman was again first and third and Mrs. J. L. Gardner second. For 100 double violets, H. F. Woods led with Marie Louise, N. F. Comley second and third with Marie Louise and Caitnpbell. For 100 singles, H. F. Woods was first with Princess of Wales, N. F. Comley second and C. S. Strout third, all showing the same variety. There was an unusually small show of carnations. C. S. Strout was first for twenty-five white with Lady Bountiful, and Daybreak pink with Enchantress, H. A. Stevens Co. being second in this class with Melody. For scarlet, C. S. Strout led with a fine vase of Eobert Craig, Stevens Co. second with J. H. Manley. Stevens Co. won with crimson, showing Harry Fenn, for striped with Variegated Lawson, light pink with a pretty salmon-colored seedling, and for any other variety with another seedling. Quidnick Greenhouses received honorable mention for a seedling carnation, Vic- toria, similar in color to Lawson. They also showed a crimson seedling. Mrs. J. L. Gardner showed a half dozen plants of the bright scarlet Pri- mula stellata, Euby Star. William Whit- man had a nice specimen plant of Cat- tleya Trianae. There was a nice display of winter vegetables. Various Notes. W. W. Eawson celebrated his sixtieth birthday by banqueting 300 of his friends at the Hotel Vendome on Janu- ary 23. The guests included Governor Guild and Lieutenant Governor Draper. The speeches at the banquet were able oratorical efforts and eulogistic of Mr. Eawson. The toast-master, George J. Gould, of Maiden, presented the host of the evening with a splendid hall clock with cathedral chimes, also a diamond studded Masonic charm, the gifts of his friends and guests. Mr. Eawson spoke feelingly words of thanks. During the day the employees at Arlington present- ed a fine set of driving harness, and the clerks in the seed store a handsome Morris chair. A feature of the ban- quet was the entire absence of alcoholic liquors, in accordance with Mr. Eaw- son's convictions. H. M. Eobinson & Co. find an increas- ing sale for gardenias, selling as many as 100 dozen a week. Cattleyas are also in good demand. The wholesalers have handled few of these flowers in the past. They have just received two carloads of southern smilax of fine quality. Patrick Welch attended an executive committee meeting of the American Eose Society in New York last week, and in- cidentally ran out to see the Winsor carnation growing at home, which he considers a wonderful sight. His firm is doing a fine winter trade. William E. Doyle used 10,000 Uly of the valley in a wreath last week. He is still running strong on Killarney rose and finds it as ready a seller as ever.

There is fair sleighing in the suburbs and the sunshine ought soon to create more nor- mal conditions for the grower, who has been sadly handicapped since the advent of the year. There is a remarkable scarcity of roses and carnations. Orchids and val- ley are abundant; so are hyacinths, nar- cissi and lilac. Gardenias are not over- abundant and violets hold steady at from $1 down, the high price only being paid for the very best. Carnations are bringing from $3 to $10 per hundred. Brides and Maids fetch from $3 to $20, and Beauties from $6 per hundred for shorts up to $12 per dozen for the finest, the majority of long, fancy going at $9 per dozen. Society has developed almost stagna- tion, and the retail demand is below the average, so the market may be said to keep on the even tenor of its way. Every- thing that reaches the city brings good prices, and patiently, but expectantly, the retailer bides his time. The large shipments of roses expected about the middle of January and prophe- sied by the veteran originator of the Maid, have been sidetracked because of the clouds a»d await a more convenient season. The tide will soon rise; wait a little longer. Your Plans For 1907 should include telephone eervice at youi home as well as at your place of business.

The Toronto Trip, The trip of the carnationists from New York to Toronto was an enjoyable one. The entry into ' ' the land of ice and snow" in the early morning re- vealed the snowy mantle, and transition from dampness, chill and grip to the dry, clear, pure zero air of the frozen north seemed to thrill the visitors with life and enthusiasm. The jolly company lined up thus in the special : From New York, F. H. Traendly, John Young, A. J. Guttman, M. Matherton, E. Escallier, Wm.

The only disappointment was the severe illness of William Scott, of Buffalo, making his attendance at the convention impossible. The esteem in which he is held and the universal de- sire for his recovery was especially dem- onstrated at the banquet when a stand- ing toast was drunk to his recovery and his genial personality.

Monday, February 11, the next meet- ing of the New York Florists' Club will be held in the Grand Opera house. The club's bowling enterprise and the home for the members, with all the other points of interest referred to in Presi- dent Tbtty's inaugural, will be consid- ered and many of them acted upon. Some fine exhibits of novelties in car- nations are expected and anything of value in plant or flower will be welcome. The annual dinner will be held at the St. Denis hotel. As usual, the stipend will be $5, and the attendance shquld go over 100 with the membership the club now enjoys. The date is Saturday evening, February 23, and the commit- tee promises something out of the ordi- nary in both flow of soul and feast for the inner man that ought to give value received to all who attend. This week two horticultural societies celebrate with dinners that should draw full houses: Glen Cove on Thursday and Orange on Friday. Later on the big dinner at Poughkeepsie will close the lestivities in this section for the season. The rose convention, at Washington, in March, is already interesting the growers, and under Messrs. Simpson's and Hammond's enthusiastic manage- ment a great success is already assured. On Thursday of this week, at the American Institute in this city, the sec- ond annual convention of the National Association of Gardeners will be held. A large attendance is looked for and the program is an interesting one to every member of the profession. President Hunter will have charge of the exer- cises. John Shore, of Harrison, N. Y., will speak on ' ' The Maintenance of the Dignity of the Gardeners' Profession." James Logan, of Elberon, N. J., will discourse on "Scenieal Planting." Charles Dumper, of Bay Shore, will talk on "Forcing Figs, Peaches and Nectar- ines. ' ' John T. "Withers, of Jersey City, N.

January 22 the thermometer registered 22 degrees be- low zero and it remained around the zero mark all the week. All that was done was on funeral work. With some this was quite heavy; but it was not enough to make up for the slow sales in cut flowers. Stock remains high in price and will do 80 until our growers begin to cut something. The prospects are good, as the sun is now shining. Some difficulty was experienced by the late arrival of trains during the week, and a few good funeral orders were lost on that account. Good roses are difficult to obtain; con- sequently carnations and bulb stock have been more in demand. A good number of the early varieties of tulips and daffo- dils are handled, also violet sales have been quite active. - St. PauL "William Swanson, of Haugan & Swan- son, was bitten by a mad dog and some anxiety was felt as to the outcome; as the teeth did not come in direct contact with the flesh the physicians here do not anticipate any serious trouble. E. F. Lemke has been cutting some fine single violets, which he has disposed of without the least trouble, and what he could not sell in his store were read- ily taken by other dealers. Otto Hiersekorn has been favored with some large orders for funeral designs. August S. Swanson 's store in the En- dicott arcade is a profusion of bulb stock which is reported to sell well. The Seeger Floral Co. says that the demand is brisk, but it is very difficult to get the proper kind of stock. Caller this week: Joseph Marks, rep- resenting A. L. Eandall Co., Chicago. Felix.

ENGLISH FORCING STRAINS. Watkins & Simpson, London, England, write in part as follows under date of January 12: "We are considerably interested in a paragraph on page 433 of the issue of the Review for December 27, where it is said that there is a large trade to be done in forcing strains of lettuce, etc., by one who establishes a reputation for first-class strains. "We may say that we are having a crusade here in England to try and induce the English people to take up the Parisian methods of forcing vege- tables. We noticed in an issue of a few ■weeks ago that these forcing lettuces, etc., were largely grown in the States, and we intended to have written you, but we have been so extremely busy, as usual at this time of the year, that we have not been able to. However, your little note brings the matter in front of us again. "We may say we have some of the finest strains for this class of work that are to be obtained. The lettuces that we offer are specially adapted for either coldframe or greenhouse work, and the Early Six Weeks cauliflower is the finest cauliflower for forcing that we know of. It may be had in any time of the year six weeks after planting out. We think we may say that we supply more forcing frame cucumber seed than any other firm, as we devote ourselves specially to a mar- ket gardening trade, and seeds for market gardeners must be exceedingly good.

In a house as narrow as twelve feet a wall four feet high would not be high enough for a raised bench, as it would give your plants very little head-room. The plants could, of course, be carried over on a line with the roof a foot or more away from the glass, but trained that way only two rows could be accom- modated, and your house would be pretty well shaded by the foliage. A tomato plant will fruit much better with the roots confined, so that the solid or raised bed is not the most suitable place for them. I think your best plan would be to grow them in boxes. Make these about one foot wide and nine or ten inches deep and any length you desire. They could be made continuous for the whole length of the house, or in lengths that could be easily moved around. Set the plants about fourteen inches apart in the boxes. With a good light house four rows of plants could be grown without the one shading the other much if they were trained to upright trellises. The height of your plants would, of course, be regu- lated by the height of your house and they would have to be stopped before they reached the glass. The two out- side rows would not have as much head- rodm as the two in the center of the house; but if you have an east and west house it may be best to stop them all about an even height, so that the cen- ter rows would not shade the back row. If it is a north and south house it will be all the better for your plants, as then the light will strike on both sides of the rows some part of the day and give them all an equal chance. Beans, and I presume you mean string beans, can be successfully |frown under glass; but they require a minimum tem- perature of 60 degrees. Probably this is where you have failed.

We have found the Mohawk variety a suitable one to grow. The most troublesome part of their cul- tivation is the getting of the beans up. They are apt to rot in the soil unless this is only moderately moist at plant- ing and water is withheld until they show well above the soil. After they are well up they need quite a little water, but at no stage of their growth should the soil be kept too wet. We plant the beans about three inches apart in rows across the bench, the rows being about twelve inches apart. After the plants are about six inches high we pull a little soil around them from either side. This encourages them to make roots around the neck of the stem, and, as the soil is highest around the plants, insures against their being too wet im- mediately around the stems. Some sort of support is necessary to keep the plants erect and prevent the one row from falling over on the other. For this purpose there is nothing better than light pieces of brush set along each side of the row. Light brush will give no shade and give all the support that is needed. It is not good policy to grow beans in the same house with tomatoes, as here the white fly may prove trouble- some.

Beets we have never grown extensively as a greenhouse crop, as there is not enough money in them to make it profit- able. They can be grown, however. A bench is the most suitable place for them, and a rather light soil the best. A night temperature of 50 degrees is high enough. They are best sown in rows and thinned out to two inches apart.

In the wholesale catalogues the prices of onion and radish seed are well ad- vanced over last year. The tendency to get values where they properly should be is a good sign. There has been a brisk demand for tomato seed this season. The canners are making preparation for a banner pack in 1907.

' For pui part, we do not look at things in this way." FREE SEEDS REINSTATED. In connection with the discussion of the agricultural appropriation bill in the lower house of Congress January 25 there was a general debate on the com- mittee provision appropriating $238,000 for the purchase and testing of new and uncommon seeds, bulbs, trees, shrubs and vines and omitting the usual appropria- tion for the purchase of ordinary flow- er and garden seeds for distribution. Mr. Candler, of Mississippi, led the fight for free seeds, and in a long speech he charged that the item in the present bill was the work of a lobby composed of seedsmen of the country and of effective newspaper work. He said he could not go back and look his "dear old farmer friends" in the face after the increase of the salaries of congressmen if free seeds were not to be had. Washington, D. C, Jan. 29. — The agricultural appropriation bill occupied the house most of the day and when the amendment concerning the free distribu- tion of seeds was reached the members reversed a ruling of the chair by a vote of 136 to 85 and restored the paragraph as it has been the law for a number of years. This is about tl^e same vote re- corded against free seeds last year, show- ing lack of progress. It is now up to the senate, which is expected to concur. ADVERTISING CATCH LINES.

Gregory is on record as say- ing that "It may be doubted whether there has been a season for the past quarter of a century when the onion seed crop of the United States has been so unusually blighted. The whole coun- try from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean appears to share in the general misfor- tune. The visitation has been so severe in California that that state, which has been the grand source for low-priced seed, now holds it at wholesale at a fig- ure which will bring the retail rate fully as high as New England seed has usually borne. In the onion seed centers of New England the blight has been so severe that in one case in a field of ten acres the crop was about annihilated.

At the same time he will transfer to that place his business of growing gladiolus bulbs for the trade. ' * I am going to Shiocton, ' ' said Mr. Crawford, ' * to see what can be done on this old marsh land. The company own- ing a large tract of it is dredging for drainage and purposes to next year offer a considerable number of 10-acre tracts for sale at $200 per acre. But first it is planned to obtain information as to what can be done on this soil by the em- ployment of the most approved gardening methods. That is to be my part, and they place every facility at my disposal. This is already widely known as a cab- bage growing locality. Large quantities of cucumbers also are grown and a -con- siderable acreage of celery. Cauliflower of course goes with cabbage, but it is not yet largely grown there. The soil is six to ten feet deep, rich and black ; it should be an ideal onion soil. We will try onion sets, and it is quite likely that it will prove a splendid location for this crop.

The Japanese lilium trade for this sea- son is drawing to a close (by this term is meant Lilium longiflorum and its vari- eties, and the speciosum types). The importers, on the whole, report a satis- factory season's trade. Bulbs on an average have been more than fifty per cent higher in price than previous years, especially the longiflorum section and its varieties, and in this article this type will be mostly dealt with, as it is of the greatest value, and the only section of indispensable commercial value. Why the price has advanced is not quite clear to the majority of growers. The cause is generally put down to a combination of exporters in Japan, and importers in Europe putting up the price, simply because they know that the article has become an indispensable ar- ticle to the English florist.

A variety of causes have lately influenced the Japan lilium trade. Chief among these is, a shortage of supply in Japan, caused to some extent by the attention of the grower during the late war being turned to other matters, and the great preva- lence of disease in the Japan cultiva- tions; a disease which none of the grow- ers seems to understand or cope with. Probably it is something similar to the sleeping disease to which Lilium can- didum is subject. In addition to this shortage the de- mand, both in England and America, has been steadily on the increase for some years. Last year the total sales in the two countries probably constituted a rec- ord. Then, again, since comparative sue- •■•^;7 f(i/;j >,..v«-«y^_ IV.

Mention The Review when you write. cess has attended the retarding process large quantities are annually stored in the retarding chambers, with the result that longiflorums are on the market practically all the year around, and much of this retarded business gives additional trade, and increased demand. In the process of retarding many thousands of bulbs are annually spoiled by subjecting them to an unsuitable atmospheric moist- ure. Unlike the retarding of lily of the valley, the retarding of liliums is a long way from being perfect. These several causes are no doubt the reason of prices advancing. Last season £17 10s. per thousand was no uncommon figure for market sizes of longiflorums, and most European importers are quite sold out even at that high price. One of the most unaccountable facts is that alinost the entire trade is in the hands of the German importers, few English firms importing direct from Japan. Several firms have from time to time done so, but many have given up after a year or two, finding the bulbs can be had cheaper and more reliably, through some Continental importing firm. To a certain extent the importers have by mutual understanding forced up prices, and in the immediate future prices must certainly continue to in- crease. Germany is a good customer with an increasing trade, an annually increasing quantity is being required in Japan for the home trade, and in addition Amer- ica's importations are increasing by leaps and bounds. Lilium Harrisii from Bermuda is in more or less disfavor all over the world, for several reasons well known to the trade, and a big demand is created for longiflorums to fill the gap, and as the demand increases, so will the Japanese grower tighten his prices and become more and more independent. The florist who grows for market will be- come still more under the thumb of the exporter and grower in the east. — Hor- ticultural Trade Journal. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

When the supply of potash was reduced, crops like turnips and rad- ishes were greatly increased by applying the sodium compound in manure. With other plants it was found that sodium salts were of little value. It having been found that soda was beneficial in certain cases the next experiments were directed towards finding out how the benefit was obtained. "These experiments have thrown some new light upon the question of how soda is beneficial: Chiefly that, where potash is used, the soda may not be of benefit, and again, if the potash supply is short, soda may be helpful. It has been learned that some plants can be helped by the use of soda, though there is a shortage of potash, while others cannot; and particularly it has been learned that the use of nitrate of soda and kainite, which contains large quantities of soda, is an insurance against a shortage of potash in soil where those plants are grown which are capable ef being bene- fited by soda. There is much yet to be learned. ' ' After his informal talk Prof. Wheeler answered several questions. Eefresh- ments were served and the regular busi- ness of the society transacted.

In one house I wish to plant dahlias for cut flowers. I would like some cultural advice, also to know the best varieties to plant for cut blooms. The other house is cooler; it can be kept at a night temperature of 50 degrees. What kind of seeds can I plant for pot culture for spring sales or for cut blooms in the open bed!

Place in a warm house and spray twice a day until the shoots appear. The roots need not be covered at this stage. Pot roots do not require any dividing, but the larger ground roots are better separated with a sharp knife. One good shoot is sufficient for each plant. A bed eight feet wide would take three rows. Place the plants two and a half feet apart. Any good compost that will grow roses or carnations is suitable. The single varieties flower freely under glass, but the doubles have better keep- ing qualities. The beautiful cactus vari- eties we have not had much success with. Do not allow every shoot to grow. Single stems are the best, and do not forget to stake securely when a few inches high. A few good commercial sorts are : Doubles — A. D.

The North Shore Horticultural Soci- ety held its regular meeting January 18, President McGregor in the chair and a large number present. Herman Thei- mann was elected an honorary member. President McGregor appointed the fol- lowing committees: Essays and discus- sions— Messrs. Till, Mitchell and Allen; banquets — Messrs. Baker, Till, Morrison, Wetterlow, Parsons and Allen. Besolu- tions of sympathy on the death of Mrs. R. C. Hooper were adopted. Messrs. Jackson, Sanborn and Baker were ap- pointed to convey the same to Mp. Hooper and daughter. The subject for the evening was ' ' An- nuals." Herbert Shaw read a paper in which he advocated the cultivation of the old reliable varieties where garden space is limited; and in any case to proceed cautiously with the new varieties until they have proved their adaptability as regards soil, location and their use as cut flowers or their value as bedding S.

Hill, Dea Moines, la. ; Sec'y, Oeo. O. Seatrer, RochcBter; Treas. C. L. Yates, Rochester. The 82d annual convention will be held at De- troit, Mich., June, 1907. A CONTEST is being made against the will of the late George Ellwanger, of Rochester. J. H. Hadkinson, now located at Ben- son, Neb., is doing a job of landscape work at the courthouse at Norfolk, Neb. At Geneva, N. Y., the nurserymen re- port the coldest weather, January 24, since 1897. It was 18 degrees below zero and some injury to stock is feared. W. H. Wyman, of the Bay State Nur- series, North Abbington, Mass., sailed for Europe January 23 to superintend the packing and shipping of large quantities of specimen evergreens, rhododendrons and other stock he is importing this sea- son. John S. Kerr, chairman of the legis- lative committee in charge of the Texas horticultural interests, has called a meet- ing of the full committee at Austin Feb- ruary 5, preceding the meetings of the state nut growers' organization and the State Horticultural Society. F. T. Ram- sey, E. W. KirEpatrick and F. W. Mally are among the nurserymen on the committee. The Xenia Star Nursery Co. will not move away from Xenia, O., as has been the intention for some time, arrange- ments having been made by Messrs. Gaines and McNary for the purchase of the M. C. Bailey farm, on the Dayton pike, which the company has had leased for ten years. The ten-year lease ex- pires in a few months and as a satisfac- tory arrangement could not be reached for a renewal of the lease the company had decided to move. As that would be a very expensive proposition, nego- tiations were begun for the purchase of the farm, which consists of more than a hundred acres of the best land in that section of the country. WANTS PUBLICATION. "I, as one of the executive committee of the Oklahoma Nurserymen's Associa- tion, will say that we shall immediately ask the board of agriculture to adopt a new plan in the way of giving out its financial statements, especially those that apply to the inspection of nursery- men," said J. T. Pierce, of Oklahoma City. Continuing, Mr. Pierce said: "There are a certain number of nursery- men alleged who have been inspected, ac- cording to the financial report as made. The nurserymen pay for this inspection, which is promised to them at absolute cost. Why would it not be just and right that each one of these nursery- men's names be given in the report, his residence, the number of his inspection, and the amount he had to pay? There were only eighty-seven inspected. The matter is of enough importance to be entitled to an itemized statement of the whole thing. The law requires that the entomologist from the experiment station at Stillwater must make the inspection, for which he shall receive $5 per day and his expenses. This expense is prorated to the nurserymen inspected. If every inspection is contained in an itemized statement and made a part of the secre- tary's annual report, then the whole matter would be plain. As it is, there is so much apportioned for ' nursery in- spection,' and that is all there is to show for it." RETAILERS MEET. A meeting of the National Association of Retail Nurserymen was held at Roch- ester January 22. Trade conditions were discussed. Wm. Pitkin is president. In the evening the fourth annual banquet took place at the Eureka Club, 100 being present. C. J. Malloy was one of those who responded to toasts, his subject being "The Square Deal." Among the members present from out- side of Rochester were: Orlando Harri- son, of Berlin, Md., president of the American Association of Nurserymen ; E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind., chairman of the executive committee and official representative of the American Associa- tion of Nurserymen; Prof. John Craig, of Cornell ; George S. Josselyn, Fredo- nia; D. H. Henry, C. G. Chase and Theo- dore J. Smith, Geneva; James M. Pit- kin, postmaster, Newark, N. Y. ; O. D. Green, Svracuse; George C. Perkins, John Watson, C. H. Stuart, William W. Gould, Arthur M. Christy, Newark, N.Y. ; and W. T. Wood, Richmond, Va. The committee in charge of the dinner was: B. F. Allen, chairman; W. W. Wyman, E. S. Osborne and Charles L. Yates. NEW YORK HORTICULTURISTS. The annual meeting of the Western New York Horticultural Society always attracts a large body of fruit growers to Rochester, and consequently a large following of nurserymen. The fifty- second meeting was held January 23 and 24. The membership is 900. The re- markable midwinter exhibit of fruit was greatly enjoyed. The exhibit of the New York Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion was one of the finest and most prac- tical ever shown in connection with thesA annual meetings, while the exhibits by firms and individual members have never been equaled. The total number of plates was over 600, and George T. Powell, an expert in fruit culture and in judging of fruit, and who acted on the eommir tee to report on this exhibit, declare. 1 that the perfection in form and eoloi was equal if not superior to anything produced on the Pacific coast or in the great northwest fruit-growing region. The display of spraying devices anii outfits, with engines in action, was by far the largest and most successful ever assembled in this section, and the dem- onstration that was given won many customers for the various exhibitors. The first business to come before \hc •meeting was the election of officers. W. C. Barry was reelected president and S. D. Willard, of Geneva; J. S. Woodward, of Lockport ; F. B. Wilson, of Halls Cor- ners, and B. J. Case, of Sodus, were Wholesale List Now ready. Send for it.

Sterling, formerly assistant for- ester in the Department of Agriculture at Washington, has been appointed for- ester of the Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. Sterling will be the first forester of an American railroad. He will assume his duties March 1. The action of the Pennsylvania railroad in taking up for- estry is for the purpose of planting trees systematically to furnish a cross-tie sup- ply in future years, and follows experi- ments which the company has been mak- ing in the last five years. During this time a million and a half trees have been planted on land owned by the com- pany. A government forestry expert was engaged last spring to assist the man- agement in planning its forestry work, which is now to be undertaken officially 'by the company. Six hundred and eighty-one acres of land near Altoona, Pa., will, in the springs of 1907 and 1908, be planted with chestnut and red" oak seedlings.

NOTE— We had this Oanna on trial among the Canadian experimental stations last summer and this is the oflicial report of their expert: "Quite distinct and one of the most beautiful shades of color I ever saw in Oannas. Of 70 massed in one bed during the past season, this was the most floriferous in the collection, coming into bloom early and con- tinuing until cut lown by frost, as many as 13 expanded heads of blooms being counted at one time on a plant, and not a poor one among them, all bemg of immense size." 50c each; $5.C0 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. NEW YORK Has the Orchid type of flower. They have much more substance than tbe flowers of the other varieties of tbis class, and will stand the hot sunshine as well as the toughest varieties of cannas.

BRANTFORD, CAN. Rrantford is a beautiful little city of 10,000 inhabitants. It has been identi- fied with the florists' business for over thirty years, its pioneer in the field, James B. Hay, still hale and hearty, conducting a general horticultural estab- lishment at the old stand, with green- houses and a seed and bulb department. Thomas A. Ivey, with his three sons and daughter associated with him, has one of the most up-to-date stores in Can- ada and does an extensive local and shipping business, having agencies in every town and village within a radius of fifty miles. He grows a general as- sortment in his greenhouses, depending largely on the Dale estate, at Brampton for his cut flowers. On Friday morning, January 25, one of the boilers in his greenhouses exploded, the intense cold causing the accident, but vigorous hust- ling and the use of stoves prevented seri- ous loss. The value of system is here proven in every part of his business, and the store is a model in arrangement, convenience and beauty ; few better, even in New- York. His daughter and son are the artists of the company, and adepts, as may be seen by the illustration of their Avork, sent out in the form of advertis- ing booklets, which are no small factor in bringing them mail-order business from surrounding towns. J. A. S. ELBERON, N. J. Tlie Elberon Horticultural Society held its regular meeting January 21, Presi- dent Robertson in the chair. One new member was elected and two were pro- posed for membership. The exhibition table was well filled. The following were the chief exhibits: A vase of Mignonette Golden Machet. shown by P. Murray ; a vase of Freesia Purity, by A. Bauer; Roman hyacinths, by J. Kennedy; vege- tables, bv F. Dettlinger, and violets, by A. Greil. ' W. F. Ross, representing the F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, was present and made a few interesting remarks. The exhibitors made instructive remarks about their exhibits. G. M. • ••11 ll^^a* Chrysanthemum By Arthur Herring^ton Formerly president Chrysanthemum Society of America.

MABELLE NEW PINK CARNATION FOR 1907 First-class Certificate, Madison and Indianapolis Color— A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a faint yellowish cast; several shades lighter than the Lawson. Unlike most pinks, the bright- est eun does not injure the color. Size— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when established. Odor— Pleasing, but not strong. Steins— Invariably strong, but always graceful, ranging from 12 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, etc.- A very quick, active grower, making specimen plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On account of its rapid growth, requires supporting very soon after benching. Gets away rap- idly, blooms early and gives long stems right from the start. Pro- duotiveness— Prodigious is the best word we know of to use here. It is the most incetsant bloomer, early and late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. No discount. Price, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. THE H. WEBER & SONS CO., Oakland, Md.

Jettie Robinson Dew. Jettie Robinson Dew, the wife of Ar- thur H, Dew, passed away December 19, 1906, aged 30 years, after nine weeks of illness. Until recently her health was considered excellent, when suddenly she became ill with stomach trouble and continued to grow worse. All that hu- man skill could do was of no avail. Mrs. Dew was born at Albion, Mich., and all her life was spent in this place. She graduated from Albion college in 1892. She was a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church. She leaves a husband and a little daughter, Gwendo- lyn. Dorothy, the first-born, died three years ago. Arthur J. Newton. Arthur J. Newton, head of the New- ton Floral Co., of Norfolk, Va., died at his home January 22, after a week's illness from pneumonia, at the age of 62 years, Mr. Newton came from the north to Norfolk fifty years ago. He married Annie P. Odend'hal, of Norfolk, who, with four sons, survives him. The sons are: Arthur M., Ernest J,, William J. and Alton R. Newton. He also leaves a brother, John Newton, of Hartford, Conn., and four sisters: Miss Hannah Newton, of New York city, Mrs. Olive Brittingham, of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., Mrs, Sylvia Rice, of Massachusetts, and Mrs. Erasmus Gornsey, of New York city. For many years Mr. Newton was an extensive truck gardener in Norfolk county, but for a number of years he has been at the head of the Newton Floral Co. in Norfolk, which had a small be- ginning, but which has grown to its pres- ent extensive proportioi j. He was also president of the Mutual Benefit Associa- tion, a farmers' insurance company of Norfolk, Princess Anne and Nansemond counties. He was a prominent member of the Methodist church. The funeral occurred January 25 at the residence, relatives from the north being present. PITTSBURG. The Market There have been no large decorations the last week and the continued high prices have had' the effect of putting a damper on small buyers, so that most of the retailers are complaining, but stock still continues scarce and it takes it all to take care of what trade there is. The weather has been extremely cold since January 22, with the thermometer hovering around the zero mark. The coldest reported was at L. I. Neff's place, at Springdale, Saturday night, when the thermometer registered 14 de- grees below zero, falling 12 degrees be- tween 11 o'clock and midnight. Various Notes. The Pittsburg wholesale florists' em- ployees' first dance will be held at Cyclorama parlors, Monday evening, February 11. The committee assures all friends who attend a good time. The club smoker, held January 22, was not so well attended as usual. The ex- ceedingly cold weather, which set in that afternoon, no doubt had something to do with keeping some of the boys look- ing after their houses. However, those who were there had a pleasant time.

The Market The bright, clear weather has again made its appearance and is helping the steady increase in roses and carnations. There has been a steady demand for all kinds of cut flowers. Eoses and carna- tions are both scarce and the price con- tinues high. Narcissi and lilies of the valley are selling well, and in fact all kinds of flowers suitable for funeral work are used. Violets are coming in more regularly but are not up to their usual supply and "are bringing fairly good prices. Callas will be a short crop. Various Notes. T. W. Besley, the state forester of Maryland, will deliver a course of lec- tures on tree study and elementary for- estry to the teachers of the public schools here. J. J. Perry and Miss Effie L. Shipley were married Thursday evening, Janu- ary 24. Mr. Perry is the manager of the Baltimore Florists' Exchange and is well known among the trade. An abundance of fern leaves are growing on the hills of the old Franklin road. W. Keir, of Pikesville, had an unusual experience January 23, when reaching home, to find one of his houses nearly frozen out. It was a case of pitch in and fire up. The damage was slight. After this he will have a night fireman during the cold spell. The heavy mortality in Baltimore last week increased business in the way of funeral work. J. L. T. CORSICANA, TEX. The season has been mild and there has not been enough frost to kill even the tender plants. Many- plants, such as rose geraniums, vincas, abutilons, plum- bagos and lantanas are putting on new growth and will soon be in bloom again if mild weather continues. Koses, ver- benas, Paper Whites and double Roman hyacinths are blooming outdoors and Dutch hyacinths and daffodils will soon be in bloom. Elms, maples, cydonias, honeysuckles and yellow jasmine are in bloom. Peaches, plums and many other trees are opening their buds. Mr. and Mrs. Clowe report that their young stock of greenhouse and bedding plants is growing too fast. The tempera- ture is often 75 degrees and sometimes 85 degrees in the houses with doors and ventilators open. Denver, Colo. — W. L. Sternenberger is still on the sick list, bis illness having lasted over a year. DAHLIAS Twelve thousaDd A. D.

The sides have a layer of shiplap, then a layer of heavy build- ing paper and then are sided with first- class cypress. There are four beds, one of which is four feet wide, the other three being six feet. All are solid. The beds are filled in with two feet of cinders, two inches of clay, then six inches of good soil. They are used for lettuce and the experiment has proved satisfactory. Mr. Blubaugh has taken off one crop of heavy lettuce and has another that will mature in a week or so. The material for the green- house was furnished by the J. C. Monin- ger Co. SALISBURY, MD. The Salisbury Florist Co. added a new greenhouse for carnations in the fall, but they were a complete failure. There are some fine Narcissi and Romans. There is not a rush of business at this time of year. This firm has plants in W. F. Aliens' seed store on Main street. W. F. Allen, who opened a seed store on Main street last February, has done a good business. The Misses L. & A. Hitch have had quite a busy winter, with lots of funeral work. They have just finished their mums, which were fine. They were burned out at their store last April and did not reopen until October 18. Trade is up to expectations. Ogontz, Pa. — Wm. Kleinheinz, garden- er to P. A. B. Widener, has recently re- turned from a trip through Germany and Belgium.

It kas secured Odd Fellows' hall. It is located one block from the court house, and has plenty of room for the meeting and exhibits. The exhibition committee is already assured that there will be a good exhibit of cut flowers, including many of the new carnations, also a good display of florists' supplies. Blooming- ton has good hotel accommodations at reasonable rates and good street car service. A. R. Knowles. A FERN HOUSE. What is the ideal house for growing ferns and how should it stand, east and west or north and south! A north and south house is, without doubt, suitable for the growing of ferns, as many ferns are shade-loving plants. Those that will endure the direct rays of our summer sun, such as the nephrolepis, will get suflieient sunlight from an even- spaa house wjth north and south ridge. An east and west house would be sure to need the southern slope shaded in sum- mer time. Tropical ferneries, even in England, are often excavated, the floor of the houses being several feet below the grade of the surrounding surface. This is perhaps done to obviate so much need of fire heat. While the majority of ferns that we florists grow like a warm tem- perature, few, if any, like fire heat at their roots. There is no need of ex- cavating for the fern house. It is too expensive; but I should build the walls of brick and place the heating pipes on the walls, or anywhere except beneath the benches, and the floor of the house should be the natural surface, or two inches of fine gravel spread over the surface. There is a natural humidity rising from mother earth which is con- genial to ferns, and if the floor of the house was cement or tile you would have to be continually dampening down to create the same moisture. There is no need of side ventilation in your walls. Plenty of ventilation at the ridge is all you need. The ferns in- clude such a numberless family, and their natural environments differ so widely, that it would be difficult to build Twin City Pottery Mfg. Co. Sucoesaors to J. G.

I am building a greenhouse 21x104. I have planned to use a 2 1^ -inch flow with twelve 2-inch returns, four under each bench. Have I allowed for enough pipe for Connecticut climate? L. C. A. You do not state the temperature you desire, but figuring your house on a basis of 60 degrees, if you use a 3-inch riser (2%-inch is too small) and twelve 2-inch returns, as you have planned, you will not go far wrong, assuming that you are to use hot water at 180 degrees. If you use less heat more pipe will be required, and if you require a temperature of 70 degrees the piping should be increased accordingly. L. C. C. GAS FOR FUEL. I would like to know if either natural or manufactured gas is used for fuel and what florists think of its value as compared to coal. Is it harder on the boiler and does it cost more or less than coal? W. P. R. Yes, natural gas is frequently used for greenhouse heating in localities where this fuel is abundant and cheap. It is a question how much one can af- ford to pay for" it in comparison with coal, for the gas makes no ashes to be removed, requires no night fireman, and when intelligently used is no harder upon the boiler than other fuels produc- ing heat of equal intensity. If the value of the gas is to be determined solely by its heat producing power, then it must be figured that when the cost of 30,000 feet of gas exceeds the cost of a ton of coal it is cheaper to produce the heat from coal ; but as above suggested the gas has other advantages which must be weighed against the cost of coal. L. C. C. INSUFFICIENT RADIATION. We have installed a heating plant at our house which is not doing well. The overhead system of piping is used. There are two 2-inch flows, one under each ridge, with a rise of nine feet above the heater, then gradually rising to the other end of the house. There are four 1%- inch returns along the south, east and west walls; also four 1^4 -inch returns through the center of the house.

One of the first things said about the plant was that Morehead Steam Traps WERE INSTALLED When the fact that Morehead Steam Traps installed in a plant is used as one of the first talliing points in order to effect a sale of the plant, illustrates in a most convincing way what the user thinks of the MOREHEAD.

We wish to maintain a temperature of 50 degrees when the temperature outdoors is 20 degrees below zero. A. F. & P. C. I can only find about 700 lineal feet of 1%-inch pipe in the house, according to the statement given, which is about 300 feet short of the amount necessary to heat the house properly by steam, and about one-half of what they should carry on a hot-water basis. By increasing the pipe to about 1,100 lineal feet of 114- inch pipe it will be feasible to heat them as you suggest and use hot water during spring and fall and steam during severe spells. The expansion tank should not connect with the flow pipes but with the return close to the boiler and be can*ied as high as possible above the highest point in the system; twelve or fifteen feet is not too much. The plan of the piping seems to be all right. L. C. C. t&r0e^^t\V%>jXe.

The first is 15x65, with walls three and one-half feet high and seven and ono- half feet to the ridge. The other is 26x100. The boiler is in a cellar so that the top is about level with the floor. The grate is 30x36 inches. There is a 4-ineh outlet on top of the boiler. The main return is a 3-inch pipe. Will you give the size and number of flows and returns for each house? Is the boiler large enough to heat to 60 degrees in zero weather? How high should I place my expansion tank? D. N. C. The boiler is barely large enough to carry the two houses. Its capacity fig- ures about 1,400 square feet of radia- tion, while the houses require about 1,300 square feet. The large house should have a 3-inch flow and thirteen 2-inch returns. I would not advise the use of returns smaller than 2-inch on a house of this size. The smaller house can be heated by the use of a 2-inch flow and nine 2-inch returns, or, if you wish to work all the piping under the benches, the small house should have two 2-inch High'Qrade Boilers gaSSa.

The lar^e house can be piped in another fashion by using two 2% -inch flows, each supplying six 2-inch returns, all the pipes under the benches or along the side walls. If you use 1-inch connection from the main return to the expansion tank located fifteen or eighteen feet above the point of connection it should be all right. L. C. C. BOILER FEED-PUMP. We heat our greenhouses by steam and contemplate emptying our return pipes into a cistern sixteen feet deep. What kind of a pump do we need to put that hot water back into the boiler against twenty pounds of steam pressure and handle 500 gallons per hour? Where can we get one and what will it cost? F. B. You can accomplish what you wish in either of two ways: First, by the use of a boiler feed-pump to lift the water from the well and deliver it into tne boiler or, second, by the use of a steam- trap. There are many good boiler feed- pumps on the market, any one of which will do the work. Write to the adver- tisers of steam specialties in the Eeview. The steam-trap has the advantage that it works automatically, while the feed- pump would require attention if not pro- vided with controlling devices for start- ing and stopping it as needed. L. C.

THE RETAIL FLORIST 'UkL^JCSJt^ > "UJK Hfe»S^Wr*>H^^U#>'U^^kr^'fcfc»>^l*^>\t^>fe»>Vf»>^M^ A STORY AND A MORAL. Chapter I* Once upon a time there lived in the c'ty of York a well-to-do family named i'- mythe. Their eldest son, Reginald, was iiie of those happy-go-lucky chaps, very I opular and an all-round good fellow. lie had a good income as assistant man- ;i)^er of the Eastern Realty Co., and, as many young men do, lived right up to his income. Strolling down street one day he met Jack Weathered. ' * Hello, Reggie I ' ' says Jack, ' * going to the hall Wednesday evening?" "What ball is that?" "Why, the shipmasters', at the Ma- sonic Temple." * ' O, you bet I am ! ' ' exclaimed Reg- gie. "By jinks! That just reminds lue of some flowers I must order. ' ' That afternoon he placed an order with Manager Fales, of the Corner Flow- er Shop, for a bouquet of 300 violets, at $2 per hundred. "Send them to Miss Mae Russell, at the Arlington apart- ments, Wednesday afternoon, April 21, and charge to me, providing my name is still good," added Reggie, thinking of his already large bill. "Certainly, Mr. Smythe, do not worry about that little bill. Your name is good as gold," returned Pales, instead of lilnting that he pay something on his ac- (^ount, which amounted to about $65, for violets, roses, valley and two dozen Beau- ties sout Miss Fay Lightfoot, who had .'ippeared at the Gaiety. During the summer no flowers were needed. In August our friend left on an extended vacation trip, returning in Octo- ber with a fine coat of tan and an empty purse. Now Mr. Smythe did not mean to cheat the Flower Shop out of that $65, but other bills had to be paid, while those people seemed in no hurry. But when he wanted some flowers for Thanks- giving he felt ashamed to face Mr. Fales. About that time the latter thought it time for Mr. Smythe to pay up, but, in- stead of seeing him personally, he sent a young, snippy clerk who made several fruitless attempts to collect. Then R. Smythe was put down as a deadbeat and his name scratched off the books. Chapter IL ' ' I would like several dozen of your host rose-pink carnations sent Thanks- {jiving, and also a large bunch of vio- lets, but first of all, may I open an ac- count with you? My name is Reginald Smythe, of 741 Merone avenue," said our friend to Mr. Maxwell, of Maxwell's store, in York. "Why, of course," said Mr. Maxwell, at the same time giving Reggie to under- stand that all accounts are opened with the understanding that they be settled by the tenth of the following month. Reggie became a regular customer, and soon acquired the habit of paying promptly. After a time he took unto himself a wife, and settled down, becom- ing a sound business man, and was classed among Maxwell's best people. He never entered the Corner Flower Shop again, not because he had not the money to pay up, but because he felt ashamed, after remaining away for years. MoraL Collect your outstanding accounts, even if through suit; you may not only lose $65, but a good customer. H. S. A SUBTROPICAL BED. We wish to plant a circular bed fifteen feet in diameter, producing a conical form with an abundance of showy foli- a border of low growing, free flowering plants. Any criticisms or suggestion will be appreciated. F. A. F. Bicinis Zanzibarensis, with its gigantic leaves, will make an excellent centerpiece for such a size of bed. Caladium escu- lentum is not sufficiently tall growing to come next to the rieinis. We would pre- fer Canna King Humbert, with very large flowers of an orange scarlet color and handsome, rich, coppery-bronze foliage. Next a row of yellow Canna Florence Vaughan, or, if crimson is preferred, Al- phonse Bouvier, followed by the Cala- dium esculentum and an outer band of Salvia splendens compacta. These would fill the bed sufficiently without a ring of dwarf cannas next to the edging. If a solid scarlet or crimson-scarlet ef- fect is desired, the yellow cannas can be omitted, or, if more yellow would be preferred, a double ring of the Florence Vaughan might be planted. In order to cover the space more quickly a zig- zagged double row of cannas and salvia could be set out. W. N. C. DOUBLE PETUNIAS. I would like to know what kind of soil, what temperature and the amount A Spray of Carnation "Winsor. age, suggesting tropical growth and with enough bright colors to be attractive. •We thought of ricinus for the center, next a row of caladiums surrounded by tall cannas with bronze leaves, then a row or two of dwarf cannas and last. of water to use in growing double petu- nias after they have been rooted. I can't make them grow after potting them, J. P. R. It is possible that the cause of the -rnr' 852 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ fi*EBfltAnY ?, 190?. double petuuiaa making no growth is that the cuttings rooted were from flow- erless, or what is commonly termed blind wood, in which case they are of no value. Cuttings when from cut back plants, which have been kept in a fairly warm greenhouse and rubbed off with a heel, root freely and should grow right away from now onward. A compost of two-thirds loam and one-third old cow manure, with a little dash of sand, is suitable. At the first shift from the cut- ting bench, however, a lighter mixture of loam, leaf -mold and sand would be bet- ter. A temperature of 50 to 55 degrees at night and a light, sunny position is desirable. W. N. C. BEAUTE CELESTE. It is always interesting to hear from those in the trade on the continent of Europe. Nearly always there is a point to what the European has to say, and not infrequently his choice of English words adds to the interest. The contributor who forwards the photograph of Odonto- glossum Beaute Celeste says that "Ac- cording to me, it is the finest shape we ever saw." This is perhaps not just the way an Englishman would have said it, but there was no mistaking that the writer is of the opinion that in form this flower is the finest of the odontoglos- sums. Odontoglossum Beaute Celeste is one of the seedlings raised by Ch. Vuylsteke, of Loochristi, near Ghent, in Belgium, whence have come a number of excellent things in the orchid line. The flower is large, very wide, round and strong. The ground is pure white with few dark markings, as shown in the accompanying illustration. The variety is the result of a cross of Odontoglossum ardentissimum and Odontoglossum crispum. Orchid fan- ciers consider it something extraordinary. SEASONABLE >»^>*^T>. SUGGESTIONS 'Urm^-y^9'<^^n. Foliage Plants. Aspidistras are never in oversupply. No other foliage plant will stand the same amount of neglect without resent- ing it. Any potting needed may now be done. This plant does not need a warm house, but grows well in it, and after re- potting prefers it. Ficus elastica and F. pandurata will be the better for a sponging. Cuttings of the former will root freely now if a good, steady, bottom heat is at command. ' A mixture of spliagnum and sand, a close atmosphere and plenty of moisture at the root and they will root quickly, Crotons, draca;- nas, dieffenbachias and other fine foli- age plants will also root readily in the same way. Be sure they are kept well shaded and watered and few will fail to root. Bouvardias. If you wish to increase your stock of bouvardias shake all the soil away from one or two old " plants, cut the thicker roots in pieces a quarter-inch to a half- inch long, cover with sand in a warm, propagating bed and you will soon have a fine crop of little plants ready to pot off. While bouvardias can also be in- creased by cuttings of soft wood, we find that the root cuttings make the best plants. Pot off into small pots as soon' as they are making new roots. Usually top growth will start first. Keep in a warm house after potting until they are well established. Bouvardias are in less demand than fifteen to twenty years ago, but a batch is useful in midwinter and, if well grown, pays for itself hand- somely. Palms. Probably some of your palms are now needing a sponging over. The present is a good time to do it, before the spring rush is on. If only a couple of hours a day can be spared, much can be accom- plished in a week. Use some fir tree oil or seal oil soap in the water if plants are badly infested with scale, being al- ways careful to avoid sponging young and tender leaves with it and to hose over all plants after sponging. If the pots are dirty, clean them, too. It is sur- prising how much more valuable a plant with clean leaves and a clean pot looks, as compared with a dirty one. If any of the palms are getting much potbound they may be potted now. Avoid such plants without watering them sev- eral times. A good compost for palms is one of two-thirds fibrous loam, one-third lejit'- mold, with a liberal addition of sand Large plants can have some coarse bone added and a little well-dried cow mnn ure. Some of the more graceful and least vigorous-rooting palms, such as Geoiio ma gracilis and Cocos Weddelliana, no( I quite small pots and will only staul small shifts. The pretty and gracef't Phoenix Eoebelenii is now fairly ehe:;;, and plentiful. It is an excellent hou plant and should become popular win ^ more widely known. Probably Keni i lielmoreana is the best palm for all pin poses. For decorative uses it is easi! the best. Areca lutescens, while graceful is more delicate. Latania Borbonica is • vigorous and easily grown variety whio!.. however, on account of its spreadii:; habit, is of less commercial value. Tin same applies to the stronger growing oi the genus phoenix. Cyclamens. Cyclamens are now giving a beautiful display of flowers. They are undoubt edly one of the finest of flowering plants for the retail florist. They ship well and bloom for a long time. They am not "shaky," as some primulas and be- gonias are in the average furnace-heated house, and are one of the most satisfac- tory flowering plants grown.

A light, sandy loam, with a lit- tle fine charcoal is an excellent compost. Keep them on a bench well up to the light, spray on light days, water care- fully, give them a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees at night and they will grow along nicely. While it is possible to have small plants in 4-inch or 5-inch pots for flowering next winter, from seed sown now, the proper time to sow is on or about October 1. Then excellent 6- inch or 7-inch stock can be had. Shrubs for Easter. Azalea mollis sold well last Easter. Well-budded dormant plants, if started now, kept well syringed and given 55 de- grees at night, will be in flower by the end of March. Usually 8-inch pots are needed for forcing stock. If there are thirty or forty buds per plant they will make handsome specimens. Rhododen- drons given similar treatment will re- quire about the same time to flower. Deutzia gracilis and D. Lemoinei make extremely pretty Easter plants. If they have been pot-grown they will be much more satisfactory than nursery-grown stock potted up. Sixty degrees at night now, with cooler treatment as the flow- ers open, should bring them in within six weeks. Lilacs will come in a week earlier, and may, therefore, be allowed a slightly cooler house. Prunus triloba and Cydonia Japonica need about five weeks. It is best to force all these in the early rather than the late stages of growth. Bulbous Stock. We are now getting a little more sun- shine and bulDous stock comes along more quickly. All stock grown for cut- ting should be kept in a darkened case until the shoots are of good length. From now on there will be no trouble about lack of stem. Tulips, hyacinths and narcissi grown in pans for store or retail trade will need less drawing up, as they should be as stocky as possible. Bulbs in flower should have a little shade on the glass. We place newspapers over tulips during the sunniest part of the day. A batch of the various bulbs will need placing in heat at least once a week, to keep up a steady supply of flow- ers. In addition to La Reine tulip, Keizerskroon, Yellow Prince, Proserpine and other sorts are now very good. Von Sion narcissus is excellent, and that splendid trumpet variety. Golden Spur, is at its best. Victoria forces well and when cheaper will be in great request. If bench room is at a premium the daffo- dils will flower well below the benches next the path, only they lack a little stiff- ness in the stem. Acacia Armata. Of the several acacias grown this is of the easiest culture and most in evidence at Easter. It should never be forced into flower, but allowed to come along in an ordinary greenhouse temperature. If your plants have been kept cold, bring them now into a house where the tem- perature does not exceed 50 degrees at night. This plant is beautiful when its flowers are all fresh. When, they as- sume a brownish hue, however, much of the beauty is gone. Be sure not to syringe after the flower opens, and do not force it hard or it will be ruined. Like all hard-Avooded plants, it must be care- fully watered. Be certain it docs not suffer from dryness at the root. The graceful A. pubescens is scarce and high- priced. Too bad it is not procurable in quantity. What a fine Easter seller plants in 6-inch and 8-inch pots would prove. This variety, also A. Drummon- di, A. Riceana, A. cultriformis and other less-known varieties flower about the end of March naturally in a cool greenhouse. Tersely Told. Poinsettias should be laid under a bench or in some dry, out-of-the-way-of- frost place until needed. Do not allow bedding geraniums to re- main crowded on the benches. Ease them out, if only a little at a time; it will pay. If you want strong Primula obconica for next Christmas, sow now. Buy the best grandiflora strain, rather than cheaper seed. Fumigate freely. Aphis and other pests increase with alarming rapidity these days. If stems are used be care- ful not to burn the foliage on delicate plants. When freesias are all cut, if you keep your old bulbs see to it that they are not allowed to become too dry until the new bulbs are matured. It is a mistake to withhold all water after flowers are cut. Give them as light a place as possible until the bulbs are ripe. Watch your lilies carefully.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 859 plants that are rather below the aver- grre of what you like to house for winter l,]!:.oraing will prove better stock for this purpose than large plants would. They ^'jll transplant better in the spring and the growth, being younger, will start oflP quicker. Keep all the blooming shoots topped back until they are established again in the field. In your climate, the plants ought to •winter first rate in a coldframe or a ci'ld house. Personally, I have never had nvuch use for coldframes or hotbed frames, though I admit that for some few things they are excellent. They are almost as expensive as a house, and are a lot more work for the one caring for tie stock, besides being out in the weather and subject to hard freezing, etc. If you have a small house which you can run near 40 degrees it will be just the place for your plants to winter. Growth will be slow and you can plant out very early in the spring, the earlier the better. There wiU be a tendency to bloom, as spring approaches, and if you can get them, planted out before this progresses too far the plants will be better for it. If they seem to be start- ing up a heavy crop of blooming shoots, then cut out the most forward ones in order to encourage steady blooming through the season. Plant them where you can water them in dry weather and mulch them with stable litter before hot weather sets in. A. F. J. B. MR. HAINES' EXPERIENCE. [The address of John E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa., before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia, February 5, 1907.] John Welsh Young, a few weeks ago, wrote to me, urging me to make a speech, or write up something on carnations, to deliver before you this evening. 1 appre- ciated his kindness, but I really hesitated to comply with his wishes, as speaking in public is a new venture for me and a career of speech-making, at my age, may not be as successful as my experience in raising carnations has been. But I have concluded to give you my experience in growing the divine flower, the carnation, and tell you how I drifted into this line of business at my advanced age. Early Occupation. After serving a period in the Civil "War, I learned the trade of moulding, which trade I followed until, owing to poor health, I was compelled to change my occupation. I became a retail oil merchant and later in connection with this I also had a few acres of land which I devoted to trucking. Finally, at 48 years of age, I sold the oil business to the Standard Oil Co. Then I built one greenhouse, 22x80, to raise lettuce and radishes. Meanwhile, I kept on trucking, raising all kinds of vegetables, and am doing the same today. My lettuce crop was successful the first year and the following year I put up an- other house of the same size. The let- tuce crop was again successful and in two years more I erected three more houses. Florists began to pay me visits and praise my good work in lettuce growing, but telling me that my good success with lettuce had about reached its limit and I would find out that suc- ceeding crops would not always reach this same standard. The following year, I grew 50,000 lettuce. It was not quite as good as it had been in previous years, but it was not bad. At this period I became deeply inter- Carnation White Lawson Grown by Breitmeyer's Sons, Mt. Clemens, Mich. ested in the florists' trade papers and devoted most of my spare time to read- ing them. I sent to the government for seeds and among the collection was a packet of carnation seed. I again raised some lettuce and began raising a few flowering plants, a few roses, carnations, etc. Lettuce was not a success that year, but the flowers did very well. This in- creased my interest in flowers. With the florists' help which I had hired I commenced experimenting on the stock I received from the government and a few standards I had purchased. The government stock came mostly in bullheads and single blooms. There were also a few fine plants, possessing fine stems and vigorous growths among them. We hybridized these with the following standards: Jubilee, Crane, Wm. Scott, Lizzie McGowan, New York, Albertina, etc. I was successful. I got numerous good ones, would raise them for a while, discover some bad trait, then discard them. I kept on trying and discarding, until I secured enough stock of seedlings of my own, which, compared with the standard varieties I had on the place, were superior to those in my opinion. Visits Exhibitions. Seeing glowing accounts in the papers of the flower shows held at various places, I decided to visit a show and see how my carnations compared with those of others. The first show I attended was at Brooklyn. I enjoyed my first visit at the show and found, to my de- light, that my carnations were at least good enough to exhibit. Then I dis- carded most other stock and devoted my space, which I kept increasing a little year by year, to seedlings of my own raising. Lettuce was a dead member. I found the growing of the carnation more interesting, and today, you see, I am still making a specialty of raising seedlings; a work which gives me ex- treme pleasure. I have visited some shows each year and at times have come home feeling overjoyed with success and at other times disappointed. You florists, no doubt, have had similar experiences. We all leave home feeling confident that our flowers cannot be beaten, but when we get there we see such fine displays that certainly open our eyes. Every time, I come home, however, with re- newed courage and aroused ambition to do better. Methods of Culture. As to the treatment of the carnation; first, I began by watering my plants at night. My reason for doing this was as follows: Early in the morning, after a good rainfall at night, I had a habit of taking a walk into my truckpatch. Everything looked so fresh and crisp^ that it seemed to me, I could almost see exactly how much things had grown over- night. I concluded, the night-watering would be the best method and for a while followed my method. The plants were doing finely. All florists, however, who came to visit me, and papers, all gave instructions for watering in the morning and I finally changed to the general method of watering, though I must say, I did not see a decided dif- ference. By attending the diflferent conventionSj, club meetings, and reading essays lt>j various writers, I discovered that my way of growing the carantion was not so different from other florists' methods. I gradually learn more, get new ideas talking to different florists and visiting other greenhouse establishments. The question, "How do you get such long, strong stems on your carnations?" is so often put to me. As I have said before, my methods are not different from others. I claim it is in the varie- ties I grow. In the other standard vari- eties I had been growing I could see no difference in that respect. The soil on my place is a heavy clay. I prepare it by making compost. 1 have never had experience in growing carna- tions in a sandy soil, but I belieye it can also be prepared in compost to grow car- ' ^-J^"/.*. "It E-TtV" "■.-.; >T;-.i;- r'*w,.j. \ tjv u^^^f^\fi^ 860 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Februabt 7, 1907. nations equal to those grown in clay soil. It may even do better; I cannot tell. In feeding the plants, I begin as soon as I have fire in the house. I feed them lightly now and then and keep them on the move. I do not use the liquid manure. I use sheep manure, bone flour, air-slaked lime and v^ood ashes. I have not kept a night fireman, ex- cept on extremely cold nights and run my house between 45 degrees and 52 de- grees. In one of my houses I have taken out the partition on one side for growing violets. The temperature of this place is usually about 45 degrees when the others are 50 degrees. Here I always have been growing my namesake. I find that in this house the best flowers are produced and yet the plants are very proUflc. Insects and Diseases. The troubles connected with the rais- ing of this flower I have also met with and have been kept busy fighting. One of these troubles at one time was stem- rot, as they call it. I will not undertake to say what the cause of it is, or the remedy. There are many different opin- ions on this great question. I will give you the experience I had one year in this line. In the autumn I buried vegetables, such as turnips, radishes, beets, etc. In the spring, when the ground was pre- pared for planting, there were still, in a certain patch, vegetables that had either rotted or frozen, also some salt hay, which had been used for covering bulbs, and tomato vines grown the previous year. Here, I planted my young stock of carnations. The plants raised on this patch suffered with stem-rot. It was so peculiar, only these plants were infected. Those which did not get it in the field, got it after planting in. This taught me that I must be very careful not to have any decaying matter or fermented matter around the place. I have been very strict in the matter of cleanliness. Clean- liness is next to godliness. All refuse must be taken away immediately and sur- roundings must be kept sweet and clean. I have used air-slaked lime occasionally for this purpose. Another trouble is that dreadful dis- ease, rust. From all my past experience I find that by taking the best of care of the plants, beginning at the time of planting-in and using all the precautions that would be used if they were infected right along, it will seldom appear at all. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. My plants are watched closely and if any plants show the least symp- toms of it the infected leaves are at once taken off. To avoid the much hated thrips and greenfly, the plants are sprayed with nicoticide, say, once a week; but precau- tion is used in choosing a bright day for the work. I also begin this treatment as soon as the plants are put into the house. I find this treatment of plants more successful than the method of smoking I used in previous years. Since the present treatment has been used I am molested very little with these pests. These are some of my experiences. It is impossible for me to relate all of the little details. I feel that there is still a great deal for me to learn. My interest is at its highest point. My aim is to do better each year. I hope to meet you often in the future, to hear your experi- ences and views on the various questions. This way of meeting to tell each others' views and visiting each others' places, I believe^ will lead to a grand advance- ment in the culture of the carnation. NEW ORLEANS. G)nvention Plans. February 15 and 16 are the dates fixed for the 1907 convention of the Society of Southern Florists in this city, and the local members and florists generally are preparing to make the occasion a big success. Invitations have been printed and sent out notifying florists all over the south and through the country gener- ally that the convention will meet at the time mentioned, and urgent steps will be taken to guarantee a big attendance. The time fixed is immediately after Mardi Gras, and it is thought that plac- ing the date then will assure the attend- ance of many who would not otherwise attend. First Vice-president C. W. Eich- ling, who has charge of the arrangements, announces that K. Lockerbie has ap- pointed the following on his subcommit- tee: Messrs. Steckler, Newsham, Pap- worth, Chopin, Lapouyade, Menard, Paul and Otto Abele and others. Preparations are being made to see that all visitors will be assured of satis- factory quarters during their stay here, Joseph Steckler having this matter in charge. A list of hotels and rooming- houses will be published and announce- ment will shortly he made of the full program. The prospects are that the trade exhibit will be quite extensive. The subjects which will be discussed at the meeting will be of general interest. This will be the first convention the Society of Southern Florists has ever held and efforts are all the more being made to guarantee a fitting reception be- ing given by the city. Variotsi Notes. Balls and weddings are keeping some florists busy. Complaints are made that flowers coming from the north arrive in a bad condition. The markets for plants will soon open. This winter has been unusually warm. Many florists are ready with any quantity of blooming stuff. J. Menard is building large frames covered with sashes to protect his As- paragus plumosus. At J. Newsham 's and W. C. Withers', who are growing ferns in quantity, we have noticed the same accommodation for their stock. They are cheaper than greenhouses, only a flow and a return hot water pipe be- ing used inside. F, Gruza is raising Marechal Niel roses in quantity. They are grafted on wild stocks. He says he cannot grow enough to supply the demand. J. St. Mard • is lifting from the open ground a few large plants of Washing- tonia filifera. J. A. Bauer, of Paducah, Ky., was in town and sold a few carloads of his pots. M. M. L. TARRYTOWN, N. Y. The regular monthly meeting of the Tarry town Horticultural Society was held Tuesday evening, January 29, Presi- dent Howard Nichols presiding. A fine lot of cyclamen plants were on exhibi- tion. Joseph Bradley, gardener to Sid- enburgh Hastings, won the prize with three excellent yearling plants. Howard Nichols offers a prize for the best twelve roses other than American Beauties for the February meeting. H. C. Griffin, of Tarrytown, was elected an honorary member. Two of the essays on "Vege- tables ' ' that were in, competition for the Peter Henderson prize at the autumn show were read, and a lively discussion followed. The authors of the essays were George Standen and C. Newton. Resolutions of sympathy were read and adopted on the death of John Egan one of the charter members of the soci- ety. Mr. Egan was one of the pioneers and one of the most able gardeners in this section. For many years he was in charge of the Gurney estate at Irving. ton, but latterly conducted a business m Tarrytown. He was one of the best grape growers in his day, and his name was associated with the production of many things in floriculture. Eesolutions of condolence to Clauio Wilson, Dobb's Ferry, on the death n^' his son, were also read. D. McF. NEW YORJL The Market. On Monday a western blizzard ar rived. The ground bog's view of hi^ shadow on Saturday was verified anU the long, cold winter seems to have be gun. The convention weather has cer- tainly followed us from Canada. The worst storm of the year is raging, cars are blocked, the temperature is falling rapidly, and the outlook is blue and white as this letter starts for Chicago. Business has been unsatisfactory for a week. Prices have been high, stock scarce and retail demand below the normal. The prospect for the present week is not encouraging. The finest Beauties still command from $9 to $12 a dozen, but they are few and far be- tween. The best Maids and Brides sold readily at from $15 to $20 per hundred, but there were few of them. Prices a year ago were about half of those now prevailing. A good deal of pessimistic comment comes from the growers. Even with such excellent prices, the lack of supply is the serious consideration. There are plenty of carnations and values have fallen fifty per cent from the high figures of two weeks ago. Or- chids are abundant, but the call for them continues, not only locally but from all parts of the country. It looks a? if the prospective brides had com- bined everywhere to carry orchid bou- quets or postpone the wedding ceremo- nies. Gardenias maintain their popular- ity. Valley is coming in freely. Some fine stock from the Dale Estate at Brampton, Can., is in evidence on Twen- ty-eighth street. There is an oversupply of bulbous stock and plenty of smilax and adiantum. Lilac is fine and pop- ular. Lilies are scarce and high, and violets have settled down to a steady gait, at 50 cents to $1 per hundred, where they are likely to hold until Easter. Lent begins next week Wednesday, but it will not even jar the market. The day of its potency is past. Eight weeks from Sunday is Easter. It seems hard to realize it tonight, with the blizzard raging and the extremities tingling from the icy grasp of old Jack Frost. But there is no time to be lost in pre- paring for the great spring festival and everyone is alert and enterprising in the advance bookings and engagements for the grand stock grown on every hand by the expert plantsmen of this vicin- ity. As to Lent, the period of sack- cloth and ashes is crowded with balls, dances, dinners and weddings, the so- cial and society columns of the local papers being filled with coming func- tions reaching far into the springtime.

The Rose Society may well pre- ])are for a record crowd this spring, for more will attend its meeting from New York than ever before and exhibits from tliis center will be a surprise in numbers and excellence. The Washington Flor- ists' Club will repeat its triumph when it entertained the S. A. F. and will demonstrate to carnationists the excel- lence of their choice for the convention of 1908. Walter Sheridan is already receiving encouraging news as to the New York Club's annual dinner at the St. Denis hotel, Saturday evening, February 23, An early acceptance of the invitation by the club members will be greatly appre- ciated by the committee. An attend- ance of less than 100 will be no credit to this prosperous organization. The Glen Cove dinner last Wednesday was a fine success. It was the second annual and over fifty sat down to a 4 o'clock dinner that was greatly appre- ciated. President McKenzie was the toast-master and a good one. During the festivities the society's medals were distributed to the winners in the twelve months' competition. The gold medal was won by S. J. Trepess, the silver by C. Myers and the bronze by Alex. Mc- Kenzie. Among the visitors were John Low, of Peter Henderson & Co.; The Rickards brothers; W. F. Ross, of the F. R. Pierson Co.; Wm. Scott, of Elms- ford; George Burnett and Mr. Sperling, of New York; J. Cook, of Thorburn's, and Mr. Conine, of Stratford, N. Y. Mr. Woodlin, with the Rickards brothers, made melody. Speech and song held the happy company until a late hour and decorations of cyclamen, azaleas, free- sias and Winsor carnations made the room beautiful. The Orange smoker on Friday even- ing was well attended, notwithstanding sloppy weather. All the old-timers were there and the hilarity lasted until the wee sma' hours. About fifty, including several visitors from New York and ad- jacent towns, were present. The society held its regular meeting and its reports indicate progress and prosperity. Messrs. Berry, Ross and Manda judged the ex- cellent exhibits. The program was long and interesting and included song, ora- tory and er is tacked along it they will come along nicely. Allow from five to six weeks for them to come into bloom after being placed on the bench in a night temperature of 50 degrees. If it is a mild winter they may come a little earlier, and if severely cold a trifle longer time may be needed. After February they will flower much earlier, only three to four weeks being needed. C.

Ammann, President. GLADIOLUS AMERICA. We note in the Eeview of January 31 the address of H. H. Groff before the American Breeders' Association, and particularly that part of his remarks pertaining to the origin of Gladiolus America. We think it rather late for Mr. Groff to come forward at this time and claim America as his production. This variety was exhibited by Frank Banning, from whom we bought the stock for four or five years. After we bought it we exhibited it very exten- sively during two summers and no one questioned its being a new variety. It seems to us that if Mr. Groff had had it in his collections for so many years, some one would have discovered that America was not a new variety. We had some correspondence with Mr. Groff a month or two ago regarding this mat- ter, but his contentions were so absurd that we dropped the whole matter. He seems to censure us for classifying it as a Childsi. We are well aware that it is not a full-blooded Childsi variety but there is more Childsi blood in it than anything else; therefore, we put it in that class. We cannot see how he can claim it as one of his hybrids, as all of the Groff 's hybrids, as far as we have been able to test them and observe their growth, are very little if any dif- ferent from a good strain of Lemonei hybrids, and if one would happen to get some good colors in the Groff 's mixtures he would be pretty sure to be able to trace the same varieties in the hybrids that Messrs. V. Lemoine & Fils have been and are putting on the mar- ket, and we as gladiolus growers have failed so far to find any distinct spe- cies in the so-called Groff 's hybrids. Mr. Groff also contends in his article that the cormels from America do not mature anywhere except in Ohio. This is wrong, as we have grown them for two years on our own place on Long Island and the cormels mature as well as those of any variety that we have, and a large number of the one-year-old bulblets will bloom. Of course, the flow- ers will be small compared with the flowers from the larger and older bulbs. Another thing that seems absurd to us is that, if Mr. Groff had had this va- riety so many years, he was very slow in not selecting it out and putting it on the market as a variety of great merit, for it certainly is, and this fact cannot be disputed by anyone who knows the first thing about gladioli. John Lewis Childs. STOCK SCARCE. From one end of the country to the other there is a striking similarity in re- ports as to the condition of the market. We have had a most unusual season so far as weather conditions go. Not in years have there been three months of such continuously cloudy weather. In most sections it also has been warm and the rainfall has been far ahead of normal. Conditions have been most un- favorable to the production of cut flowers and markets everywhere are short. Through January roses have been especially scarce. Carnations, while not yielding anything like what is usually cut at this season, have done better than roses. To the growers increased prices as compared with last year have made up a part of what has been lost through lighter cuts, but it has been only a small part. Unless the spring season brings a return considerably above the ordinary this will not be an especially profitable season for growers of roses and carna- tions, or to the Bhinebeck violet grow- ers, who are in the same boat. The grow- ers of bulbous stock are profiting to some extent so far as better prices go. VINES FOR WIND-BREAK. I have a wind-break eight feet high, running north and south and east at west at right angles. I want to cover it with some self-supporting vine that will stand high winds, is hardy and will grow rap- idly in a well-drained, sandy loam. Would Ampelopsis quinquefolia or A. Veitchii meet these conditions? J. L. G. Ampelopsis Veitchii, if used, needs some protection the first year, until es- tablished. We find this variety, how- ever, kills back badly in severe winters. A. quinquefolia, the common woodbine, or its variety Engelmanni, would be prob- ably the best clinging vine to use. Either of these will tear off sometimes and it would be well to give them a few supports. Wire staples can be used for this purpose. Clematis paniculata would cover the fence more quickly than any- thing else if upright strands of wire net- ting were fixed at three feet intervals for the vines to cling to. Netting a foot wide will answer. The clematis dies back pretty well each winter, but will speedily grow and cover the whole fence when warm weather comes. It makes a dense covering of foliage, is beautiful when in flower and its seeds are hand- some all winter. W. N. C. "T Febbuabt 7, 1907.

Mention The Rerlew when yon write. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market The market is almost bare of roses. The receipts of Beauties are ahnost noth- ing at all. The growers, who should be cutting 1,500 to 2,000 Beauties per clay, find themselves cutting 300 to 500, and of these the shorts are so poor they are of little use. The crops of Bride and Bridesmaid are little better, except that the quality is more satisfactory. Rich- mond seems to be giving a number of growers good cuts, compared with what other varieties are doing. The prices on roses are something extraordinary. Never in the history of this market have prices been so high for so long a period after Christmas. As a matter of fact, good roses are now bringing more than the prices asked at the holidays. Not only do the extra select command full holi- day rates, but the shorts are bringing much more than they did for Christmas. The carnation has had a week of splen- did business. Receipts are quite large and last week the demand cleaned up everything at splendid prices. It is dif- ficult to make a summary of what prices have been, but it is probably well within bounds to say that all kinds and condi- tions of carnations in the last week brought $1 per hundred more than they did a year ago at this time. The mar- ket has been well cleaned up every day and the result has been most satisfactory. This week starts with only a slight re- cession in demand and prices. The shortage in roses and the high prices of carnations has haa the result of turning demand to bulbous stock. Tulips are nothing extra in quality at this early date, but have been bringing excellent prices. Paper Whites and Ro- mans are doing better than they usually do at this season. Valley is in demand and callas and longiflorum sell quickly. Sweet peas have arrived in considerable quantity and are a great help. Freesia also sells well. If there is any item which is in over- supply it is the violet, both Hudson river and local stock. It seems that the retailers do not push violets the way they once did and few funeral pieces are made of them. The result is that the vio- let market has been dead on cold days and has had a brief season of activity when the weather has been favorable for street wear. Practically all kinds of indoor greens are scarce. There is abundance of every- thing of hardy character. Local trade is not especially active, but it seems that the shortage in stock, which is so pronounced among local growers, is also affecting the producers throughout the country. The result is that the whole Mississippi valley is call- ing upon Chicago for stock. Wo wish we had more of it for them. Stock Frozen. There are numerous complaints of stock having arrived frozen during the last week, and it is worth while noting that it was not always on the coldest days that accidents happened. The heaviest loss was on two shipments of orchids to C. W. McKellar. These came from Washing- ton, D. C, and the value of the two lots was close to $200. The most numerous cases of complaint were with regard to the violet shipments from Rhinebeck. Some local lots of roses and carnations were frosted Monday morning. Reinberg Buys Lilies Several weeks ago the Review reported that Peter Reinborg had decided to ex- tend the range of his business by grow- ing other things than roses and carna- tions, to which he had confined himself in the past. In pursuance of the new policy Leonard Kill has in the last week placed an order with William Hagemann, New York, for 30,000 lily bulbs for next season. A portion of these are Harrisii, for early forcing, but the bulk of the lot will be longiflorum multiflorum and longiflorum giganteum; these for cold storage and the later forcing, the idea ueing to have liiics all the year around after the first of this purchase of l)ulb3 comes in. Mr. Reinberg also is making plans to build a small range of violet houses tliis spring. It is stated this will be the only addition to the glass this 3-ear. Wienhocber Employees' Reception. The employees of the E. Wienhoeber Co. gave their first annual reception at the Svithiod Club, 1768 Wrightwobd ave- nue, on the evening of January 30. The rooms were handsomely decorated, with palms and cut flowers, and the attend- ance was 114 couples, among them being Mr. and Mrs. E. Wienhoeber and many of the wholesale and retail florists. The grand march was led by D. A. Robert- son and wife. The music was by Gold- smith's orchestra. In the intermissions there were musical numbers in the club parlors.

The staff is all busy getting things into shape, and when the work is finished the store will be, perhaps not the largest, but certainly one of the best- equipped and most livable in the market. The Poehlmann Bros.

It will more than double the size of their store. The Winandy Sale. The trustees of the estate of Michael Winandy appeared before Sidney C. Eastman, referee in bankruptcy, Wednes- day morning and invited bids for all the bankrupt's property, greenhouses, personal property and his interest in the real estate, the whole to be sold as a going concern.

At this season's prices he is doing first rate. Kennicott Bros. Co. received the first of the season 's crop of Klehm 's Novelty tulip during the last week. The cut will increase rapidly. Already the stock is of excellent quality. C. W. McKellar had an order Monday for 1,000 sweet peas, -and 500 valley for a Memphis wedding. He has just re- ceived new stocks of ribbons and chif- fons for Easter. George Wienhoeber is at a sanitarium at Oconomowoc, again suffering with stomach trouble. E. C. Amling is receiving large ship- ments of sweet peas and finds they sell excellently. He has two or three grow- ers at Maywood who make a specialty of sweet peas the first months of the year, and they prove a most profitable crop. Phil Schupp, manager of J. A. Bud- long's city store, says that all they want is a day or two of good bright sun to bring along the finest crop of roses they have had this season. The color of their Maids is excellent. There is much interest in the club's carnation show next week, Thursday, February 14, and it appears that not only will there be a banner attendance, but a fine show. Many novelties will be on view, and the local growers will show their best. The "doings" begin at 7 p. m. The A. L. Randall Co. has just un- packed a large line of imported glass- ware.

The Ferneiy, on N. Charies street, has an attractive window display of various kinds of seasonable flowers. Many private gardeners were at the different seedhouses securing early seeds for their hotbeds last week. C. B. Hoffman, Arlington, Md., pur- chased from B. R. Clark about two weeks ago his range of greenhouses including stock. Fire broke out at 3:15 a. m. in one of the houses which threatened de- struction of the entire range. Much dif- ficulty was experienced in sending in an alarm. The severe weather we have had put some of the county alarm boxes out of commission and the telephone had to be used to notify the fire de- partment. His smilax house suffered the most. About $200 damage was done. Messrs. Olers and C. Gregorius were on hand and did splendid work. After the fire was out they helped to make the necessary repairs to keep the houses from freezing. Mr. Olers' houses being close to Mr. Hoffman's, were in danger, but hard work saved them. The ladies' night at the Gardeners' Club is being pushed in every way to make it a success. The banquet will be the most up-to-date yet held, and all the delicacies of the season will be served. Music will be one feature. A number of out-of-town guests will be there. The date set is February 11. J. L. T. Uebana, III. — E. S. Dodson will build a greenhouse and will conduct it in con- nection with his nursery business. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Trade last week was really encourag- ing, though cut stock was scarce and prices had been up for several weeks, especially on fancy roses, and, of course, this kept prices firm in all grades. The commission men report a good shipping trade, which shows that the shortage must be general. The retailers all re- port a good general trade in all lines last week. Quite a number of good fu- neral orders were made up. Saturday was ground-hog day, and, as the sun was shining brightly all day, the growers will have their troubles for six weeks more, as today, Monday, we are having our first real touch of winter weather. The ground is covered with snow, and it is very cold. At the commission houses everything in the rose line is scarce and away up in price. Carnations are helping out, as quite a good many are coming in. Then the demand is heavy and a large con- signment does not last long. Violets have shortened up. What are coming in are of good quality. Bulbous stock is plentiful and selling well. Ferns are up to $2.50 per thousand this week. Various Notes. R. W. Eastlick, representing the Bom- bayreed Manufacturing Co., of Colum- bia, S.

The Rising Eastern Market We are enjoying the business activity that always precedes Lent, the only drawbacks being the difficulty to secure enough of certain kinds of flowers, not- ably roses, to fiJl orders. The so-called spring flowers, tulips, freesias, single daffodils, etc., have been reinforced by the arrival of double Von Sion, which is now arriving in sufficient quantities to make it possible to list it regularly. American Beauty roses are sadly defi- cient in the medium grade; most of the long-stemmed flowers are of good qual- ity, while most of the short-stemmed are poor. The colder weather has improved the quality of the smaller hybrid tea and tea roses and we are now getting some good stock in limited quantity. Carnations appear to be about equal to the demand, prices being a shade firmer than a week ago. Valley is in good supply; some large orders have been filled recently. Both orchids and gar- denias are less plentiful than a week ago. Freesia is fine and can now be had in all grades. Myosotis has made its appearance in limited quantities, with the probability of an increase before St. Valentine's day. Romans and Paper Whites, which have been selling unusu- ally well, are rather less in demand than for the last two weeks.

It is customary to speak of the City of Brotherly Love as being a sleepy place, where business men go for a rest, despite the fact that our supply houses, seed houses, wholesale florists and plant growers supply a great part, and in some cases the whole, of this country. It now appears that our retailers have come well to the fore, as the following incident will show: A few days ago the buyer from one of the largest New York retail stores visited this city expressly to secure one of the lace bouquet holders desired by a customer in Washington. He went straight to 1220 Kace street, saw Mr. Kice personally, and stated the object of his visit. Mr. Eice told him that the entire stock had been purchased by a Philadelphia retailer and at his visit- or's request, the retailer was called up on the phone, and told that a special customer desired just one of these lace bouquet holders. The retailer replied that he had none to sell, and the New Yorker was unable to secure a duplicate anywhere. laspiration. Every florist feels at one time or an- other a depression of spirits due, it may be, to hard work, long hours, poor busi- ness, or the failure of some carefully laid plan. At such times the wise man seeks inspiration before renewing the strife. Inspiration may be obtained in a variety of ways; from a choice ball- room or table decoration, from a house of foliage or flowering plants, from a chat with another florist, and so on, ac- cording to the peculiar exigencies of the case. I doubt if anyone in the City of Broth- erly Love has given more inspiration to Wf'!^!W'^'* "!*'W''H^ 'kf i''^r>'^'<*!.'»«fl;)iV'-'- <•* •:^'wrTjyiiwwf:'rw "*t'"WW't?^ ■' ' ^r -.rr-^''^ ,' Februauy 7, 1907.

They are none too plentiful yet, however, and prices hold up well. Car- nations are rather more abundant and prices have weakened somewhat. Vio- lets are procurable at 25 cents and up- wards. Growers of best singles are get- ting 50 cents to 75 cents. Dafifodils are more abundant and sell a trifle lower. They clean out well. Golden Spur and double Von Sion are leaders. Campan- ulas are quite plentiful. La Eeine con- tinues the leader in tulips, which are also meeting with good sales. Easter lilies and callas are each in rather short supply and prices rule firm. Some fine mignonette is arriving. The best realizes $1 per dozen. Pansies, primroses, wallflowers and other early spring flowers are seen. There is a fair demand for lily of the valley. Best sweet peas still make $1.50 per hundred and sell readily. Prices on green stock re- main about the same. Pot plants are meeting with a better sale. Cyclamens, Dutch bulbous stock and azaleas are th«> three leaders. Lent will soon be here, and some slump in price is likely then, with the dropping of social festivities. Various Notes. The lecture by George T. Powell on "The Renovation of an Old Apple Or- chard" drew a large audience to Horti- cultural hall February 2, every seat in the lecture hall being taken. The num- erous questions asked proved that the subject was of great interest to the au- dience. William "Whitman, M. Sullivan gar- dener, received a cultural certificate for a splendidly flowered specimen plant of Cattleya Trianse at Horticultural hall February 2. Prospects are bright for an attractive list of special prizes at the chrysanthe- mum show next November. Some exhibits of new carnations and other interesting features will be in- cluded in the next club meeting program, February 19, which all should plan to attend. William C. Rust, of Brookline, was operated on for appendicitis February 3. At last report he was doing nicely, and we hope for his early convalescence. S. J. Goddard and others visited C. W.

Butterworth continues to add to his orchid collection, and now has sev- eral houses devoted to their culture. ±'rom present indications his entire place will be needed to hold them before long. Cattleyas are chiefly grown and are in first-class condition. Many big specimens are to be noted of C. Gigas, Mossiae, Percivalliana, Trianae, labiata and others. We counted no less than twenty-five sheaths on one C. Mossiae in an 8-inch pot. C. Harrisonia? is grown in quantity and proves a valuable sum- mer sort. ('. Trianae was the principal kind flowering when we called, but the flowers would not open fast enough for the demand. Some fine Laelia anceps were flowering. A pure white for,m with flowers five and a half inches across was one of the finest we had ever. seen. Den- drobiums, (^ypripedium insigne, cxlogynes and other orchids are equally well grown. Most of the cattleyas are in baskets and osmunda firm fiber is used for compost. Bulbous stock is largely grown, all the leading narcissi and tulips being han- dled in quantity. Lily of the valley is done especially well. Carnations looked well. The Queen was excellent and Har- ,ry Fenn, Enchantress, Fair Maid and Patten were producing a heavy crop. Mr. Butterworth has much faith in Ham- mond's slug shot as a destroyer of cut worms. Dusted on plants and soil, it cleans all out in a week. A large lot of Jjilium speciosum album from retarded bulbs was just coming into bloom and will prove extremely useful. At S. J. Goddard's we found a large proportion of the variety, Helen God- uard, cut down to supply cuttings, the demand for it being heavy this season. Enchantress remains as fine as ever. Harry Fenn was splendid, as was Vic- tory. Cardinal had many fine flowers. Ihe Queen was loaded with flowers and Lady Bountiful was equally good. Pat- ten will be dropped, as it is too slow in winter. Mr, Goddard has a batch of a fine variegated seedling, Helen Goddard x Enchantress, which looKs like a winner. Other promising seedlings were seen. Rose-pink Enchantress was niie. The de- mand for cuttings is strong. Last year many were shipped to England and large orders are coming in from that country at present. Mr. Goddard will try the new English scarlet, Britannia, which beat Victory and Robert Craig in London last December. Nice batches of cycla- men^, azaleas and other seasonable flow- erihg plants were noted.

Two houses were filled with white and yellow marguerites, which should give a wealth of Easter flower. Fischer's Pur- ity freesia in pans was extra tine. Fine lot3 of violets, Primula obconica and cy- clamens were seen. A batch of 50,000 shamrocks was in evidence for St. Pat- rick's day. Alexander McKay, who has not been ill business long, grows about 12,000 car- nations, chiefly The Queen, Fair Maid, Enchantress, Patten and Harry Fenn. All were in first-class shape. Several thousand Liliuni longiflorum were com- ing on for Easter. Freesia is grown in considerable numbers. No other stock is grown, but Mr. McKay has done won- ders for the time he has been in the commercial line. At Johnson & Nelson's, which was the last place we had time to visit, the prin- cipal house is 23x370, mostly in carna- tions. They are grown in solid beds and could hardly have looked better or car- ried more flowers. A seedling, Lawson x Prosperity, of which there were 2,500 plants, is a good thing. We failed to find a burst calyx. The stem is long and stiff, flower a little lighter than Lawson and of a much more pleasing shade. The Queen, Enchantress and Fenn were the chief standard sorts grown, and Law- son looked better than we had seen it for a long time. Another house was chiefly devoted to Mont Blanc and Earliest of All sweet peas, three rows running the whole length. As many as 1,400 spikes a day are cut, and the quality was excel- lent. W. N.

CAULIFLOWER. Cauliflower, like lettuce, succeeds best when planted in a solid bed. In raised benches the growth is not so free. Con- sequently the heads are usually smaller. We have, however, seen some good crops matured on raised benches. It has the advantage over lettuce in not beiug sub- ject to attacks of fungus diseases, such .as leaf -burn, stem-rot, etc. The only time fungus troubles the plants is in the early stages oi growth, either in the seedling box or just after the first pricking out, but with a little judgment in watering and handling the plants the trouble is not hard to overcome. The relative virtues of the diflferent strains or varieties is a matter on which opinions differ considerably. The main essentials in a forcing cauliflower are earliness, dwarfness, compactness and whiteness of head. Several varieties, or rather strains of early dwarf cauliflow- ers, are found on the market, so many, in fact, that it is rather a hard matter to know just where we are at. Nearly every country seed store has a cauli- flower bearing its name, most of them being either the plain Dwarf Erfurt or a selection from that old standard va- riety. Whore the matter of selection has really been carried out judiciously, the advantage of the strain is often quite pronounced, but the only way to know what is in the strain is to try, and keep trying until the best has been pro- cured, and then stick to it and the house that is sending it out. Successional plantings may still m-e made indoors and plants should be kept coming on for planting in coldframes as soon as the weather becomes sufli- ciently warm. Sowings should also be made from this time on to procure plants for outdoor planting. It is better to have them started in time and let them come along slowly, thus procuring nice, Vegetable Seeds Prices to Market Gardeners ' SPECIAL CUCUMBKBS M-lb. lb. Landreth's extra early W.

Crops nearing maturity in the green- house can be considerably assisted by feeding now that the days are getting longer and brighter. Being a healthy feeder they are not very particular what form of food is given, but to get the full benefit of the manure applied it is necessary to give something that will act, quickly and apply it in a liquid form. Nitrate of soda makes a good article for this purpose, but when waste from the barnyard can be procured it is hard to beat. Sheep manure can be procured, from which a good liquid can be made, but the nitrate of soda or something of that nature being cleaner and quicker in action, is preferable to the sheep manure article.

STERILIZING LETTUCE SOIL. Of the many vegetable growers at Grand Eapids, Mich., none is better known than Eugene Davis, to whom the gardening fraternity is indebted for the Grand Bapids lettuce, the Davis Kidney Wax bean and other valuable varieties. The following notes on soil sterilization cover the subject as it appears to a lay- man visiting Mr. Davis' place: ' ' One of the most perplexing problems connected with the growing of vegetables under glass is the renewal of the worn- out soil. When the soil of a greenhouse has been used for some time it becomes practically dead, and no amount of cul- tivating or fertilizing will make it pro- ductive. And, furthermore, the soil not only ceases to be productive but becomes Eugene Davis* a breeding place for the various fungus diseases which infest lettuce and other products of the greenhouse. "Heretofore about the only remedy for this condition of affairs was to re- move several inches of soil from the top of the solid beds used for lettuce and replace it with fresh. This, while it helped to some extent, did not go deep enough, and was by no means a com- plete remedy, and in a large greenhouse ' the removal and replacement of so much soil meant a heavy expense. * ' Mr. Davis believes he has solved the problem of how to use the same soil in his greenhouse year after year for an indefinite period and still have it retain its productiveness. His method is to use common 1-inch iron steam pipes with numerous small holes drilled throughout their Mhole length. These perforated pipes are buried in the soil to a depth of ten or twelve inches and attached to the steam boiler. Then the steam is turned on and left so for from three to eight hours until the soil is thoroughly cooked. The . operation in itself is simple, but Mr. Davis says it does the business and is only about one- tenth as expensive as replacing the old soil with new. "Last year the State Agricultural Col- lege heard of Mr. Davis' plan and sent a man to investigate. His report was so favorable to the new process that the college authorities have been carrying on a series of careful and exhaustive experiments. They have not confined themselves to perforated pipes but have experimented with pipes made of a porous substance, and have also tested an apparatus made like an old- fashioned spike-toothed drag, the teeth being made of perforated iron pipes about ten or twelve inches long. These are attached to a framework and all connected with each other. The whole arrangement is placed with the • teeth downward on the soil to be sterilized and the teeth are forced into the soil. This is designed to do away with burying the pipes "Mr. Davis' success has prompted sev- eral other greenhouse men to adopt the system within the last year, and it is probable that it will be universally used throughout this section in the course of a vear or two.

White onion sets are quite scarce and the price for them is now far above the ordinary value when compared with the yellow and red. Visited Chicago: — Alfred J. Brown, of Alfred J. Brown Seed Co., Grand Rapids, Mich.; A. J. Milton, with the Chas. H. Lilly Co., Seattle, Wash. Under the circumstances, H. W. Fish- er, manager of the seed division of Mont- gomery Ward & Co., Chicago is not complaining at the wintry weather. There still are quantities of lily of the valley pips arriving at New York. The last boat from Hamburg, February 1, brought fifty cases- for J. M. Thor- burn & Co. Irondequoit muskmelon is one of the specialties of James Viek's Sons, Roch- ester, but this year's wholesale list has after the name of the variety the words "crop failed." Alfred J. Browx, of the A. J. Brown Seed Co., Grand Rapids, Mich., has re- turned from a fortnight's successful contracting trip among the trade in the eastern cities. • The German flower seeds are not all in yet, and these delayed lots are mak- ing trouble out of all proportion to their importance as affecting the total of the season's business. During the recent high water at Cin- cinnati J. M. McCulIough's Sons and J. Charles McCuUough were put to much trouble. The latter had to re- move its office and 11,000 bags of grass seeds. It is reported that seed of the flat varieties of onion being offered to the sot growers is of fairly good germina- tion. On the globe sorts the percentage of germination is much lower; too low, in fact, in many cases. The accident met by one of the sales- men for D. yi. Ferry & Co., who got a chicken bone stuck in his throat, causes a smile, not because of the gentleman's painful plight, but for the evidence it affords that even a representative of the great house of Ferry occasionally finds WHICH SUCCEEDl THIS MEANS TH.T LANDRETH'S SEEDS ''"*"*' *"" ARE GOOD Address: BRISTOL, PA.

In spite of this, however,^ it is probably used in much larger quantities than the other two sorts, per- haps on account of its cheapness, and ease of propagation and cultivation in Japan.

An appropriation to provide every voter of the same political faith as his member of congress with a pink lamp shade would fail of passage, but the seed bill goes through each year. It is considered one of the perquisites of the congress- man and serves the useful purpose of making each recipient think that the congressman has a personal interest in him.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 883 TWO "NEW CREATIONS" IN BDSB LIMAS Nature surely has surpassed herself ! In a single neason she has outstripped all efforts of man In fact, such distinct new types have never even been dreamed of before ! Look at the illustrations shown of the Burpee Improved and FoBDHpoK Bush Limas, recall to mind the largest and best pods of Lima Beans you have ever seen, and you must agree with us that this is a most remarkable^ find. To learn just what they really are and bow they were discovered, kindly study pages 10 to 15 of The Farm Annual for 1907. These two most unique new Bush Limas will be worth many thousands of dollars annually to the gardeners of America. They are undoubtedly the "Greatest Novelties of the Age." The Burpee Improved J^tt^SnT-.'^'^The^S^s'*.?; truly enormous in size, borne in great abundance upon bushes two and one-half feet high by two feet across. The beans are both larger and thicker than those of the popular Burpee bush Lima or any strain of the large White Pole Lima. Fordhnnk Rll^h I imA ^^'^ ^^ altogether unique. lUIUIIUUn DU9II Llllia. Nothing like it has ever been seen before. It is the first and only stiffly erect Bush form of the fat "Potato Lima."

In every conceivable way the gov- ernment loses by this appropriation and the largest gainers are the professional dealers in seeds who are so fortunate as to be favored by government con- tracts. ' ' The Department some weeks ago made its contracts with ' ' the largest gain- ers" for seeds for the 1908 distribu- tion, subject to the usual provision re- garding the action of congress in mak- ing the appropriation. CANNERS' CONVENTION. The national convention of Fruit and Vegetable Packers and Allied Associa- tions at Buffalo February, 11-16, inclu- sive, promises to be by a considerable margin the largest gathering of the as- sociations since the alliance commenced holding joint sessions. It is quite prob- able that as many as 2,000 delegates may be in attendance and the committee in charge of arrangements is planning an unusually elaborate program of events, not only in the way of entertainment, but in the value of the subjects to be dis- cussed. The pure food law is the most important subject on which the packers want light, and Dr. Wiley, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the pure- food expert, will be the star speaker. The seedsmen who supply canners' stocks will be on hand in full force. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

TIw Market Good news! Detroit had a little sun, but hardly enough. Saturday morning a straw hat would not have felt out of place, but along toward noon a cold wind started blowing and by evening people began to wear earlaps. These sudden changes occur about every week, and, as a result, the florists are rushed with fun- eral work. Boses are unusually scarce. Carna- tions are a little more plentiful. Consid- erable bulbous stock is now coming in; therefore the scarcity of roses and car- nations is not so noticeable as a few weeks ago. Various Notes. We are wondering why the little Euro- pean maple, Acer campestre, is not more universally used in ornamental grounds. It is a little tree of regular, roundish shape and very hardy. Its foliage, a beautiful, solid green, somewhat re- sembles a large clover leaf. Some speci- mens of this tree, branched from the ground up to the top, planted a few years ago in Woodlawn cemetery, at- tract much attention. E. Perrand, the veteran tree culturist, says that the Eng- lish maple makes a fine, compact hedge that will stand clipping in any shape. S. S. Skidelsky informs the writer that he is more than pleased with the sales of Schroeter's Rose-pink Enchantress stock. It has been found necessary to withdraw the advertisements from the trade papers, for the time being, in or- der to catch up with the orders. The opening, February 2, of the fine new dry goods store of Pardridge & Blackwell called for a number of elab- orate designs and baskets. There is little enthusiasm among the stores here over McKinley day. This is probably one reason why not more car- nations are sold. Several hundreds were sold over the counter. H. S. Appleton, Wis. — ^B. Zuelke & Co., of Riverside greenhouse, have decided to build a $10,000 greenhouse plant in the spring. Brookville, Ind. — Martin Weber has built a greenhouse 50x120. He will raise early vegetable and florists' miscellane- ous stock. HoLDREDQE, Neb. — ^W. E. Davidson will add three greenhouses to his plant. One, 10x100, for propagating plants; one, 27x100, for propagating carnations and another, 6x100, for violets. The present building will be used principally for roses. CUT FLOWER BOXES WATERPROOF.

SStli Street. Mention The Review when .vou write. Orower, Kynbrook, 1^. I., V. T. MILVAUKEE. The Market The market fluctuated about the same as the weather last week. The shortage of roses still continues, but carnations are coming in freely. Light colors find a good market, but colored stock, espe- cially of inferior grades, reduces the average. Plenty of 25 cents per dozen signs are displayed in the downtown dis- trict. One florist advertised carnations at that figure in one of the daily papers during the week. This is low for mid- winter, and nearly all commodities on the rise. Various Notes. N. J. Rupp, of the Moninger Co., and a representative of the Advance Ventilator Co., were in the city during the week, looking up prospective build- ers. Nic Zweifel is seriously ill at his home, in North Milwaukee. He had just re- turned from Toronto and was taken ill soon after arriving home. Bulb stock is now beginning to arrive in larger quantities. NEV CASTLE, IND. The South Park Floral Co., whose greenhouses cover four blocks in this city, will build no more on their pres- ent site, but are casting aboui for a suitable place in the country. When the plant started it was out of town, but the rapid growth of the city has brought the greenhouses down town, so to speak, be- sides which the ground on which the greenhouses are situated has become quite valuable. As new houses are needed, the company will build in the country and, little by little, will vacate the present location. All our replies have mentioned the Review.^-Goshen Floral Co., Goshen, Ind.

The directors of the United States Cut Flower Co. held a meeting in the offices of the Compton Realty Co. Janu- ary 30, at which it was decided to im- mediately increase the capacity of their plant at Elmira Heights fifty per cent. The company has eighteen greenhouses, each 200 feet long, and will add eigh- teen more, which will be each 100 feet long. These new houses will be completed and ready for planting by July 1. ihis will give a total of 150,000 square feet of glass, and they expect later to en- large very materially. The officers of the company are: Pres- ident and general manager, Wm. it. Compton; directors, William R. Comp- ton, Francis Inksater, H. N. Hoff- man, H. C. Mandeville and Seymour Low- man. Among the stockholders are J. Sloat Fassett, John Brand and G. L. St. Johns, president of the New York Steam Co. ine company was organized in the early part of 1903 and began business in 1906. It purchased sixty-six acres on the Hats between this city and Horse- heads and erected one set of houses which made it one of the largest con- cerns of the kind in the country. Its business has proved to be success- ful, and the demand for its products has already exceeded its capacity. It does a wholesale business, solely, and deals in cut flowers throughout New York state and in Pennsylvania. It specializes in carnations, roses, Easter lilies, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, calla lilies, smi- lax and maidenhair fern. It was originally incorporated for $600,000 and additional stock will be issued as fast as the company's plant is enlarged. When the total growth has been reached Elmira will become the cut- Itower center of New York state. Mr. (Jompton stated that Elmira is ex- cellently located" for this industry. The eighteen new houses will cost $25,000. MANCHESTER, MASS. The North Shore Horticultural Society held its regular meeting February 1, President McGregor in the chair. The subject for discussion was * 'Annuals," continued from the last meeting. The 1906 entertainment committee completed its duties by providing music and re- freshments for the evening. Messrs. Menken, Dodge and Morrison were ap- pointed to succeed the old committee. The schedule for 1907 has been issued and distributed. The rose show will be held June 26 and 27 and the summer show August 28 and 29. W. T.

The retailers had no cause for com- plaint during the last week as every- thing sold out clean at good prices and there was hardly enough stock to fill orders, roses being especially scarce. Consequently there is some grumbling among the retailers. Carnations have also felt a firmer un- dertone; the cut is not large and there is quite a demand. They are fine for this time of the year, though some could stand improvement in strength of stem. Lawson, Enchantress and Vic- tory are perhaps the best. carnation day was observed more this year than heretofore, the papers commenting on it more this year than last. Lawson and red were mostly sought after. Double daffodils are beginning to come on the market, and the scarcity of roses is throwing some demand on these, as well as on tulips and hya- cinths. Trade in flowering plants is good, many people turning to these in prefer- ence to cut flowers. iireen goods are light in supply, as- paragus and maidenhair being the shortest and smilax not over plentiful. Various Notes. Despite the recent cold weather and snow on the mountains, the heron's bill, or hemlock stork's bill, is blooming just west of Manitou. This establishes a new record for floriculture in the Pike's Peak region. The firm of the Scott Floral Co. has been dissolved, E. J. Eeynolds re- tiring. Philip Scott will continue the business. Mr. Eeynolds left last week for Seattle. The Gallup Floral & Seed Co., of Cleveland place, is getting ready to move into a new store at 819 .Sixteenth street. E. S. xL. ORANGE, N. J.

What I want to know is, will they start again in the spring and give me a crop later, or had I better put in a boiler now and start to fire? "Will it pay me to try and start them. J. C. The antirrhinum would probably start from the bottom again, as they with- stand quite a little frost. They would break weakly, however, and we would not advise leaving them in. There are, how- ever, other crops which might be gotten in without delay and which would pay well. A good strain of ten weeks' stock is one. Feverfew planted now would be right for Memorial day. A first-class strain of candytuft may be sown. Gladi- oli also could be planted and would bring remunerative prices before out- door ones come in. We would suggest getting a new boiler right away. Many plants could be moved from other houses and soon fill the vacant one. Quantities of bedding plants could be raised from seed, and tomatoes make a profitable summer crop if it is not desired to plant flowering stock. Secure and sow a batch of Comet, Sterling Castle or some other good greenhouse tomato for this purpose. Empty houses do not pay. Get it under crop as quickly as possible. C. W. York, Pa.— Charles A. Sehaefer, who has a store on the corner of West street and Pennsylvania avenue, has opened an- other store at 110 East Market street. He has some exceptionally fine carna- tions.

The hot water boiler installed in the plant of Fletcher C. James, at Des Plaines, 111., gave out in zero weather. It was found that the inside shell was rusted through and a hole was found in the back of the boiler in such a position as to make it impossible to patch it. The following ingenious idea occurred to the Garland boys. An opening was drilled through the top of the boiler just over the hole. After the water was let out of the boiler a funnel was inserted and several bags of dry cement were poured in and water was immediately let into the boiler. The cement was packed down with a stick and the opening in the top closed up with a wooden plug. The boil- er was found to be perfectly tight and heating wa§ resumed. BOILER CAPACITY. I have an upright boiler rated to carry 800 square feet of radiation heating my dwelling house of four rooms, each aver- aging 12xli!. In addition to this, can I heat a greenhouse 20x40 and maintain a temperature of 56 degrees in Kansas climate? I have four runs of 4-inch pipe on each siue of the greenhouse, or 350 feet altogether. W. P. E. If the boiler in question is rated to carry 800 square feet of radiation and the house is no larger than you say, the boiler working at full capacity should be able to carry the four rooms of the house and the 350 feet of 4-inch pipe. It will not be safe, however, to increase the load. This amount of piping is am- ple for the house in question. L. C. C. HEATING THREE GREENHOUSES. I am about to construct three north and south houses, each 100 feet long. The two west houses are to be connected and the other one is to be partitioned off for roses, etc. They will be heated with hot water and the boiler-room will be a^ the northeast corner. I would like to know if I can run a 3-inch header the width of the houses and run three 3-inch flows, one in each house, off of the main header, and if the water could be forced up hill to the other end, the returns gradually dropping to the boiler. This radiation will be sufficient in our mild climate. H. H. P. You will get greater satisfaction from carrying each of the three flow pipes direct from the boiler. You can arrange it as you suggest, but trouble frequently occurs with pipes so arranged; the cur- rent of hot water gets started in one set of pipes and actually passes the others without heating them to amount to any- thing, thus giving a very uneven distribu- tion. If each flow is taken off the boiler direct there is no chance for this uneven distribution, provided the pipes are prop- erly graded. L. C. C. TO IMPROVE CIRCULATION. My new greenhouse is 26V^x80, with an addition 19x20 at the rear. There are three and one-half feet of concrete and three and one-half feet of glass on each side. The houses are fifteen feet to the ridge. The potting-shed and boiler-pit are at the rear. A forcing The John Davis Co. Halited, 22d and Union Stxeet CHICAGO, ILL.

I have five flows and seven returns in the greenhouse, all 3% -inch pipes. There are five open tanks at the east end. There are two flows and two returns in the forcing house and one tank. I am obliged to cut off the heat from the forcing house in order to heat the green- house. When it is 4 degrees above zero outdoors the thermometer registers only 40 degrees in the forcing house, the same in the east end of the greenhouse, and 48 degrees in the west end. When it is at zero outdoors it is only 48 degrees in the greenhouse, with the forcing house cut off. I have a Model No. 5 sectional hot water heater, rated to heat 1,700 feet of 4-inch pipe. The boiler is in a pit seven feet below the flow pipes. The stack is 12x12 inches inside, and twenty-four feet high. There is a fine draught. I burn enough coal to heat a larger building. Must I get a larger boiler or put in more pipes? I would like to turn heat into the forcing house as soon as^ possible in or- der to get lilies out for Easter.

Your boiler should be large enough to handle the piping you have upon it if it is equal to its rated capacity. The quantity of piping in each house should maintain 60 degrees of temperature if everything were properly arranged and the circulation good. If you can take each main flow off near the boiler, in- stead of dividing the flows up some dis- tance away from it, I think you will get better service. I would also suggest that the two side flow pipes which are taken off at the jog in the main house be converted into returns and that the main flow be broken up only at the east end of the house, there to return by five returns instead of three as at present. The circulation will be better with this modification. The flows supplying the side coils should each go back to the boiler and be fed from separate open- ings, or from a manifold close to the boiler. There is too little opportunity Fbbbuaby 7, 1907.

If you can do away with the open tanks and place the system under pressure by using an elevated expansion tank connected to the main return close to the boiler, the tank elevated sixteen to twenty feet, you will get much greater return from your fuel and a more satisfactory plant. Look carefully to the grading of the pipe. L. C. C. PIPING THREE GREENHOUSES. We intend to build an east and west house 30x200 and to add to this, in a year or so, one or two houses of the same size. The potting-shed, with boiler-room underneath, will be 12x30 and will be at the center, so we can run the pipes each way. Does the direction in which the boiler is placed make "any difference? How many openings in a No. 12 Kroeschell boiler will be required for three houses of the dimensions given? Would it be best to use 4-inch or 6-inch pipe for these outlets? Would it do to run a 6-inch pipe across the center of the house to connect all the flows and re- Standard Plate Glass Co.

W. T. The efficiency of the boiler will not be modified by the direction it is set. The convenience of connecting the returns and the smoke-stack will determine the direction of the boiler as much as other factors, provided the pit allows sufficient room for firing and cleaning flues. A 4-inch opening for each house 30x200 feet will be sufficient. The returns can all be centered into two openings, one on either side of the boiler. If you install 2,400 lineal feet of pipe in each house it should be sufficient to maintain 70 de- grees of temperature. L. C. C. Ckntralia, Mo. — George W.

The Market Trade during last week was good, es- pecially the latter part of it, and a big run on funeral work cleaned up every- thing that could be worked in. Good roses and carnations are scarce, while there appears to be about enough cheaper stock to supply the demand. Violets and bulb stock are coming in quite plentifully, especially daffodils both double and single. The death of Timothy Eaton, our merchant prince, and probably the best known man in Canada, brought a big demand for funeral work, and Toronto- nians saw at the family residence on Lowther avenue the greatest number of funeral designs ever put up for one funeral. It might be here remarked that it is up to the florists to impress upon the undertakers, or those in charge of handling the floral designs during and after the funeral services, the neces- sity of handling such designs with care and with at least a small degree of respect. The way the flowers on this occasion were handled was simply dis- graceful and was noted by many pres- ent. In fact, all who had an oppor- tunity of seeing it were of the same opinion. This will have a bad eflFect on florists as it will cause many to dis- continue sending flowers when they are handled in this way. Various Notes. We are glad to welcome back an old friend, F. C. Brown, who has been for the last couple of years in Philadelphia and now comes back to take charge of Mr. Dunlop's retail store. H. G, Dillemuth, late of Dunlop's, who has taken over the retail business of Jay & Son, of Spadian avenue, had his special opening February 2. He had the store beautifully decorated, with an orchestra in attendance. The store has been done over and is now a credit to the city. D. J. Beaver Falls, Pa. — John H. Meyer, who has been out of business for some time, is planning to make a fresh start. Westfield, Mass. — Henry Barton, of this place, not Huntington, is preparing to build a rose house 100x150, eighteen feet to the ridge. Bristol, R.' I. — Richard Dunbar and his son, George, narrowly escaped se- vere injuries from an explosion of illum- inating gas at the greenhouses January 31. The gas was escaping from the main pipes on Hope street, and when a match was struck the explosion occurred.

Now there are two kinds of sap in Cypress — the blue sap that anyone can see and which rots out at once — and the white sap which looks just as solid, cuts just like the sound wood, and requires an expert to detect it. 20 per cent of cypress is apt to be sappy — we cut out and burn up that 20 per cent.

Flowering plants for Easter are re- quiring more and more room each day, and to give them the necessary space is a temptation to crowd the bedding plants more closely. Especially is this true of geraniums. If you want nice, salable plants they must have room. They are speedily ruined by overcrowding. Those potted early in the year will now have the pots well filled with roots. Top cut- tings taken from these and placed in small pots or a propagating bed with a fair bottom heat will soon root, but care must be taken not to overwater them. They will soon rot if sprinkled daily, as carnations or chrysanthemums are. Usu- ally a good soaking when inserted should carry them until rooted. If cuttings are not needed, merely pinch the tops out, if bushy plants are needed. Do it while the plants are grow- ing actively and not while repotting them. The temptation is strong to kill the two birds with one stone, but it does not pay. If early potted stock is becom- ing well rooted give a shift to 3^4 -inch or 4-inch pots. Use a light but fairly rich compost for this purpose. Pelargoniums. Theie beautiful and attractive plants, often spoken of as Lady Washington geraniums, are not much grown commer- cially and have never attained in Amer- ica the immense popularity they enjoy in Europe, Their flowering season here is shorter, owing to our hotter summers, but as they remain in bloom for some two months- they are well worth growing. They prefer a cool house and at this season, unless especially early flowers are needed, the most prominent shoots should be pinched back. As green aphis has a special fondness for them, keep some to- bacco stems among the pots. These plants are naturally at their best in May and June and around Memorial day are especially useful. Their flowers work in nicely In bouquets. There are now some fine varieties of fancy pelargoniums. A few good sorts to grow are Crimson King, Lady Car- rington, Mme. Thibaut, Dr. Masters, H. M. Stanley, Mrs. R. Sandiford and Duchess of Cornwall. Heliotropes. The present is a good time to put in a batch of cuttings of that sweet and most useful plant, the heliotrope. They root quickly in a warm house and, pot- ted along, will make fine stuff in 4-inch pots before bedding plant sales start in. For window-box, vase, or bedding out purposes heliotropes are most satis- factory, while nicely flowered plants in pots are always salable. Lemon Verbena. If any old plants of lemon verbena have been stored in a cool house and kept on the dry side during winter, the present is an opportune time to prune them back and place in a warm house, where they will soon make a crop of nice cuttings. These soft shoots root readily when rubbed off with a heel. Some peo- ple imagine this is a hard plant to prop- agate. It is, when ripe or half-ripened wood is used, but soft cuttings take root as freely as heliotropes. Jerusalem Cherries. If you want a batch of nice, bushy Jerusalem cherries in 6-inch pots for Christmas sales, sow seed now. Probably you have saved one or two berries which will give you just as fine plants as any you can buy. Pot off into 3-inch pots when large enough, gradually harden off, plant outside in an open, sunny spot early in May, lift and pot about the middle of August, and you will have some stock to be proud of. Cuttings root readily, but while they make plants which ripen the berries a little earlier. found flowering up to November. The seed catalogues List a number of forms of Salvia splendens, some of which are much dwarfer than the type. All are good, although we have failed to notice any difference in some of them except the name. Coleus and Alternantheras. While the severe winter continues and a brisk bottom heat can be had, it is a good time to put in a batch of cuttings of coleus and alternanthera, which are always in more or less demand. Throw away the old coleus plantp, which seem to be favorite lurking places for mealy bug. From cuttings put in now coleus may be jiotted off within two weeks and kept in a warm house they will speedily give a crop of tips for cuttings. Easter Lilies. Lent is now with us and it is possible to tell with some degree of certainty how lilies are going to be for Easter. From present appearances a large num- ber will not be in flower unless we get a warm March, or the plants are subjected to sweltering heat. If the buds are now visible you are all right, provided the plants are kept in a temperature of 55 degrees at night. Where the buds are still hidden, give the plants as warm and sunny a location as possible.. Spray two Wreath of Orchids and Adiantum^ by B. Schroeter, Detroit. they have not the neat, bushy habit of the seedlings. Salvia Splendens. While it is still somewhat early to sow seeds of the popular scarlet sage, if good sized plants are desired a sowing can be made at any time. Some florists prefer to keep over a few old plants and take cuttings from these. Of course these will make nice plants and will start to flower ahead of the seedlings. Our experience has been, however, that they lack the vigor of seedlings and their blooming season is ended before frost comes, especially if we get a prolonged, open fall, wliile seedling plants will be or three times a day and give them a little sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of soda once a week when watering. Re- member that lily plants and flowers lose half their value when Easter has gone and it therefore pays to watch the plants closely now. Hybrid Roses. Plants carrying half a dozen or more buds and flowers of Brunner, Jac^y Loui- zet and other well-known and popular hybrid perpetual roses make popular Easter plants. To get them in to a nicety is rather a difficult problem. Plants should now have broken and made shoots several inches in length, on which "1 . '*X7 t.r.*"Rr- 924 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ B^BBKTTAltY 14, IdO?. buds should be visibld towards the end of the month. Similar treatment can be given to Crimson and Baby Bamblers. Sixty degrees at night now and cooler conditions . later will bring them on in season. It is not necessary or desirable to have the flowers all open when selling them. One or two expanded blossoms and a few buds to follow will please your customers much better. THE AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. [An address by P. J. Lynch, of West Groye, Pa., before the Washington Florists' Club, February 5. ] It has been suggested that I give a general talk with reference to the Amer- ican Eose Society, what, it has accom- plished in the past, and. what it expects to do in this city. I will give you no occasion for 'alarm in thinking that I in- tend to read an exhaustive essay, because I feel that all of you are aware of the splendid work the society has done in. advancing the welfare of the rose. In these few fiotes I hope to cover briefly the scope of the society and enlist the earnest and enthusiastic support, not only^of the members of your club, but your friends outside of the florists' pro- fession as w6ll. Purposes dE Orgauuzation. The American Rose Society was estab- ^ lished in 1899, with the broad purpose in view of exten4ing the popularity of the rose among commercial growers as well as amateurs; to increase the gen- eral interest in' its cultivation; to im- press the standard of excellence; to fos- ter, stimuliEi'te ".and increase the produc- tion in every' possible way of improved varieties suitable to our American cli- mate. Since its inception it has made steady progress, until now the announce- ment of an exhibition under the auspices of the society attracts interested grow- ers and spectators from all parts of the dountry. It may be safely said that at i;he last exhibition, held in Boston, there wa& perhaps shown the most magnificent collection of roses, embracing almost every class, ever staged in this country. At that meeting Mr. Sander, of St. Al- bans, England, remarked in his address: "If the exhibition I see here could be transferred to our Horticultural hall in London I am sure it would create a pro- found sensation. Your American Beauty and Richmond are as good, if not better, than any I have ever seen." The society exhibitions have been in- strumental in bringing about a keen but friendly rivalry between our commercial growers, and the value of this is readily apparent, because it stimulates the grower to give the growing of his plants that attention necessary to bring theffi to the highest degree of perfection, for the purpose of exhibition, thereby in- creasing the productiveness of his busi- ness in cash returns. Then, too, in set- ting a higher standard of excellence he advances the popularity of the rose by bringing forth its wonderful possibili- ties. Instead of going about bis work in a careless manner, the grower, if he be interested in the progress of the society, will seek to outdo his brother grower in results, with the two-fold ad- vantage of which I have spoken. This is the monetary view of the good the society has done, and apart from this commercial phase it has brought where the rose-loving public may see, the crea- tions of the rose world. These exhibitions are productive of benefits even to the grower who does not Fcra Pans SS.'SHWR'Sf CHICAGO my ^ / No dining room or* home is com- for'oc c'railo« P'^'® without fems, as they add s.". much to the appearance of the room. The water should nevpr be allowed' to stand in the outer jardiniere. Keep in the light, but out of the sunshine. Water the soil daily, al- lotting to eac;^ pan about half a pint of water. Sprinkle the foliage morning and evening. Wnen ferns are kept in a place where tempera- ture is not above SO degrees, the soil will require watering but once in two days. Asparagus Plumo- sus is the hardiest and most used variety but tnere are other beautiful kinds for filling fern pans. For preservation of Cut Flowers and thtf care of Decorative Plants, a rubber hand sprinkler is almost indispensable. They make watering and spraying an easy task and accomplish it efiFective- ly. Such a sprinkler can be purchased lor $1.00. All decorative plants should have PImSiT * jardinieres, both for decorative and practical purposes. They serve to hold the excess water. A little sand placed in the bottom of the jardiniere will Iceep the roots moist and cool. With almost »ll decorative plants, the soil should be watered once daily and the foliage twice. About once a week Palms, Rubber Plants and-all other decorative plants with thick foliage should \)^ washed with a sponge on both sides of the leaves in clear water. Every two weeks a washing with whale oil soap will be found bene- ficial. Palms, Ferns, and almost all decorative plants require protection from the extreme hot rays of the sun, although the Rubber Plant, when plunged in the open ground in the pot or tub in which it has been growing, will thrive most lux- uriantly in the sunshine. Give plenty of water. . The love of flowers and plants is a Lovea Flowers pr'nial instinct in the human fam- Uy, and evidences a need that should be supplied just as surely as the demand for learning is gratified. Children, particularly, should be brought in contact with them and* en- couraged to care for them, and no home or school- room is complete without some growing plant. It is a well understood fact, recognized by the medical profession, that the existence of plants is conducive to the health of children as well as adtjlts. They supply oxygen for the room.

In short, our society is the harbinger of better prices for every grower. "While we do not have the great num- ber of new roses that the European growers exhibit at their great shows, yet we are steadily improving in the creation of new varieties, as has been well testi- fied to in the last three years, during which time there have been more new roses of merit introduced by American growers than, perhaps, in a decade pre- vious to that time. Interest in Hybridising. Interest in hybridization has been stim- ulated, and while the work differs mate- rially from that with carnations, inas- much as the' latter flower responds so readily to the efforts at improvement, yet we are proud of the many new va- rieties that have first seen the light of ""day iri^Amefi^r Sfiidliave'bS"^' shown at the exhibitions of the Anierican Bose Society. Then again, in this branch of the work the necessity for roses that will adapt themselves to our varying climate has been clearly shown, and by intelligent efforts we have accomplished something we have never had before, and that is the creation of roses to suit the planter of the south as well as the grower in the north, not only for the commercial flo- rists, but especially for the amateur growers, who after all are first to be con- sidered, because if we can enlist the support of the great masses of amateur rose growers in all parts of the country by helping them to succeed, we know not to what extent the power and influence may extend in beautifying our land and increasing the revenues of our growers. We have found by experience that out of the multitude of new roses sent us from Europe there are few that have adapted themselves to our climatic con- ditions, so that it would seem to be the cardinal work of this society to demon- strate that which is best and that which is not best for professionals and ama- teurs alike, and this can only be accom- plished by unity of action among grow- ers, enthusiastic love for the rose, and a spirit that what is good for one of us is good for all. The wants of the buyers of our prod- uct vacillate from time to time, and in order to keep abreast of the times and secure flowers that will bring the best price we must needs have some means of acquiring this knowledge, as well as of disseminating it. While Bride, Brides- maid, Golden Gate and tea roses of similar character, whose popularity has not diminished because of the increased number of people who buy, yet it would seem, to touch upon this subject briefly, that as ex-President Montgomery of this society very aptly stated that the rose of the future will undoubtedly be raised from a mixture of the tea and hybrid perpetual, producing a hybrid tea of the type of Tom Fields and Queen Beatrice, your home roses; Richmond, Liberty, Miss Kate Moulton and others, all roses of the hybrid tea class, because of their high and positive colors, which are now so much wanted. Then, too, these roses require more skill in growing, which means more attention, resulting in the very condition spoken of previously, that the grower secures in the end a greater return for his labor than he cou^ hope to do were we to continue to b^ satisfied with the favorites of former years. So much for what the society has tried to do in the past. VJ Fbbbuabt 14, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 925 There are few people who get the fullest value or enjoyment poMible out of cut flowers, ferns, palms and other decorative plants, simply through laCk of knowledge of how to care for them. This fact is all the more surprising when it is realized that their care requires no scientific knowledge and demands so littl* atteetion. , The height of a floral decoration for DlalaVTablaa * dinner t«bJ« should be from 10 to 15 inches. At large banquets a greater height is permissible. The best form is to limit the flowers to one variety, although two may be permitted. Each bouquet may consist of from 6 to 24 flowers. Roses or Carnations are always satisfactory, but at certAin seasons Tulips, Nar- cissus, DaflFodills, Hyacinths, Peonies, Gladioli, Asters, Dahlias, or Chrysanthemums may be used. When a low table decoration is preferred. Sweet Peas, Lily of Valley, or Violets fill the requirements. In any floral decoration overcrowding and stiffness should be avoided. Try to secure a care- lessly graceful arrangement, permitting every flower to preserve its own individuality. Asparagus, Maiden Hair, or Dagger Ferns shoula be strewn on the tables, while here and there should be scattered a few Roses. Carnations or seasonable flowers. For a souvpnir, one flower should be laid at each guest's p)ate. Clusters may be used for ladies. The color of flowftrs should always hahnonise. Or at least not antagonize, the effect of the sur- ro^indings. Red and •yellow are enlivening; deep j«d Roses or Carnations restful and luxurious. Pink and white are both pleasing. Flower vases should be of not too narrow Ymm' * base, of a design to hold the most water possible, consistent with style that is ar- tistic and beautiful. A very satisfactory vase of pressed glass, 12 inches high, 4 inches in diameter at the base, 6 inches at the top, may be purchased for 50 cents. It willliold from 12 to 24 flowers. Golrdfish Globes, 4 or 6 inch sizes, make ex- cellent vases for short-stemmed flowers, showing stems, foliage and flowers of Sweet Peas, Violets, Orahids, Lily of- Valley, and Pansies Asparagus Ferns in strings are Uje n^t!^tJn4 ™°*t satisfactory, as well as beaiitl- ■ ful. The warm atmosphere of a room does not affect them so readily as other kitads. Smilax is also used, while Wild Smilax and autumn leaves serve in their respective sea- sons. About the base of a mantel, grille or con- sole may be grouped a few decorative plants. Flowers are usually cut in the bud, or Cut Vlowara ** '***' before the bloom has fully matured. They are then placed in jars of water in a room where the temperature is about 40 to 50 degrees. An ice box may be used. Flowers thus cared for will codtinue to develop and expand for several days. Flowers used on dining tables, mantels, Praaenrln^ etc., may be preserved for use the fol- """ ' lowing day if properly handled. After using they should be immersed in* water 5 or 10 minutes, the stems clipped about i inch, then drained and wrapped in tissue or news paper to keep the air from the petals; then put in jars, stone preferred, large enough to hold srflicient water to cover the stems entirely, and put in an ice bok. The following morning will find them, to all appearances, as fresh as the preceding day. Where is the man or Woman who does BoiMraeta "^^ remember the saucer bouquets mother use to make? The late Presi- dent McKinley liked all kinds of flowers, but the carnation was his favorite. He often remarked that all the magnificent floral decorations supplied by the White House greenhouse could not rival the saucer bouquets from his mother's little flower garden. To arrange a saucer bouquet, fill saucer or plate with sand, elevating the center. Press with the hand and water thoroughly. Then, im- merse the flowers or leaves in the water for 5 minutes, drain, shake and arrange in the saucer to suit the fancy, covering the sand first with leaves to fpim a background.

The sub- ject is one that I would not attempt to outline, because it is entirely dependent upon the combined effort of the growers, what may be accomplished. If the so- ciety goes forward as rapidly in the fu- ture as it has in the past it will accom- plish a wonderful good for everyone en- gaged in the florists' business, not to speak of the great masses of people out- side of the florists' trade who are inter- ested in roses. My purpose in being with you is more to ask that the Flo- rists' Club of Washington will give us that earnest support that we know it will, feeling that in doing so we are helping each other. We want more mem- bers, not only florists but those outside the trade, and in order to make the ex- hibition here a success let us bend every possible effort to increase the member- ship of the society and stimulate public interest in our efforts, and with your hearty cooperation we shall have, without doubt, the best meeting and most at- tractive exhibition ever given by the Rose Society. As to what we expect to do at the forthcoming exhibition in our city, I am unable to give a list of the number of prizes to be offered, but you may de- pend upon it that there will be a splen- did showing. In Boston, if I recall prop- erly, we had about fifty prizes, cups and cash, with over 100 competitors. Our president, Mr. Simpson, at the meeting of the executive committee a few days ago in New York, informed us that there would be more prizes and of greater value offered this year than ever before, and this list will be ready for publica- tion in a short time. It is yet early for entries, but with your cooperation I feel saife in saying that this vrill be one of the greatest exhibitions ever held in this country. I would specially ask that if possible the Washington society people be asked to donate some special pre- miums, to be published in the tiupple- mentary list, in order that we m^y se- cure their hearty cooperation in bringing the attendance up to the highest mark. ■ I shall be glad to answer any ques- tion i can in regard to the number of vases required, the hdight of the benches and give such information as I have at command, and before closing these re- marks let me again urge your club to give us the best hand you can in order to push the good work forward, so that it may be said that the Washington ex- hibition far outshone that which has be- come so famous held in Boston last year. GERMINATION OF SEEDS. Seeds are dependent for germination on definite amounts of heat, moisture, oxygen and the absence of light, says the publicity department of the National Council of Horticulture. The amount of oxygen supplied regulates itself, if the seeds are planted in any soil that will readily admit air. Thei regulation of heat and moisture is most important, and is well under control. Among seeds that germinate quickly are most of the annu- als, while the seeds of trees, shrubs and most of the herbaceous perennials re- quire a longer time. The most delicate seed^ are not always the smallest, al- though small seeds require careful handling after germination has begun, because of their size. As seeds are started with enough food to enable them to develop a certain length of shoot and root it is not neces- sary to have the soil in which to sow them very rich, but it is important that it have good drainage and at the same time does not dry up too rapidly. A mixture containing equal parts of loam, leaf -soil, or peat, with a good sprinkling of sand, will give best results, except for seeds which require special treatment. It is a good plan, often practiced, to sterilize the soil Nby thorough steaming or baking, which desu'oyS all seeds of weeds, insects' eggs, fungi, etc., that may be in the soil. In preparing soil for planting seeds it should be passed through a coarse screen to remove lumps. If the seeds are to be sown in pots the latter should be cleaned and a few pieces of broken pots placed in the pot for drainage. Fill the pots with the soil, making the surface firm and level. If the seeds are very small, sift fine soil on top and immerse the pots in water, giving them a thorough soak- ing and allowing them to drain well before sowing the seeds. The latter should be scattered on the surface, not covered. Watch the pot carefully to keep it uniformly moist. Cover it with a pane of clear glass, removing it to admit air, and keep in a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees. tXri«!l^^*«\. .**!iri«V^]*ZSL .

For a Retail Florist In .these daya of competition and ri- valry the retail florist should study the needs and cater to the wants of his pa- Irons. Everybody loves flowers, but a great many people refrain from purchas- ing plants and cut flowers simply on ac- count of a lack of knowledge of how to take care of them. One of the best advertisements for a retail florist is to always keep an attrac- tive and effective show window display. changing the arrangement tvrice a week, or at least once. If the people passing can be induced to admire your windows some article may suit their fancy and they are in- duced to enter your store and seek in- formation regarding its cost, use or care. These inquiries consume the time of the salesman and frequently do flot lead to immediate sales. About seventy-five per cent of the in- quirers leave the store, promising to re- turn later and purchase. Verbid infor- mation which has been imparted to them is soon forgotten. A little folder or • ^v 926 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Fkbboaby 14, 1907. booklet presented to the departing in- quirer serves as a further reminder of the object in view at the time they en- tered your store, and it also supplies additional information at a time when the recipient is in a receptive mood for acquiring knowledge pertaining to flow- ers. My experience has been that about ninety per cent of all customers make inquiries or seek information about plants, cut flowers or some novelty car- ried by the florist. Each person entering your store is good, on the average, for three questions. If you have from twen- ty-five to 100 customers daily and each asks three questions, it is easily com- puted how many replies you will have made. Time is money to the florist. Any- thing that expedites waiting on custom- ers or assists in answering their questions helps him make money. It gives inquir- ing prospective customers desirable and useful information which they have been seeking. The little folder, ' ' Care of Cut Flow- productive in securing new business, as well as stimulating business from old customers. The flower purchasing public has not been supplied with specific information by the retail florist to the extent that they have a right to expect. They haven't the time or disposition to read lengthy dissertations on the technical phases of the question. The folder seems to supply just what the public wants. It contains about 1,200 words. It is con- cise and practical and only takes about two minutes to read. The title page is an arrangement of ferns in neat design, the whole being printed in green ink upon a light shade of green paper of good quality. As an advertising proposition it has justified my greatest expectations. It is exceptionally profitable and brings im- mediate returns. Horace K. Hughes. A CANADIAN DESIGN. The accompanying illustration is repro- duced from a photograph made at the es- Shield on Easel made by T. A. Ivey, Brantfordt OnU ers, Palms and Ferns," was written and published in an endeavor to instruct, an- swer questions daily asked of a florist, and assist in aiding customers to decide the kind of flowers they wish to use for certain occasions. I have found the little folders very tablishment of Thomas A. Ivey, at Brant- ford, Ont. It represents a large design made recently by Mr. Ivey for the fu- neral of the late Colonel Cameron, of the Dufferin Kifles. The honorary colonel of the regiment was the late Lord Duf- ferin, who was formerly governor gen- eral of Oanada. The motto of his fam- ily is "Per vias rectas, " meaning through right paths. This was lettered on the design in immortelles. The shield was made solid with white carnations, the spray being of Sunset roses, valley and adiantum, and was the particularly effective part of the design. The shield was attached to an easel, which does not show in the picture. It stood five feet high. Mr. Ivey has ptiblished a neat booklet of his designs, which he sends out to prospective buyers and hands to visitors. It is especially good for securing mail orders. A DECORATOR'S AID. /' The plant stand shown in the accom- panying illustrations is not a new inven- tion. It has been used by the George Wittbold Co., Chicago, for fifteen years, but it never has been offered to the trade, although every now and then some florist sees the stands in use and wants a few of them to use in his own deco- rative work. The illustrations show the front and the back view of a group of plants arranged with the aid of the stand, which really is a combination plant stand and vase. The picture shows the shape and character of the stand without making necessary any further description than that it is made of gal- vanized iron, light and strong. The two funnel-like sections are made to slip apart, so that the stands may be tele- scoped to occupy less space. When telescoped a dozen stands occupy no more space than do€S one in the position for use. As shown, a considerable group of plants may be arranged on one stand. Blocks made for tilting the pots of the plants at the base of the stand are made of iron in various sizes, to hold differ- ent sizes of pots securely. "With the aid of this outfit any size of plant may be used and any plant in the group may be tipped to any angle desired. MR. VILCOX VISITS TEXAS. J. F. Wilcox, the well-known grower of Council Bluffs, Iowa, has just re- turned from a three weeks' tour through Texas, and as his knowledge of land values, climate, chemical qualities of the soil, moisture, rainfall, etc., is that of an expert on subjects of that sort, bis opinion of Texas, or at least those por- tions of it he visited, are of more than ordinary interest and value. "I spent some time at San Antonio," said Mr. Wilcox, "made two visits at Cotulla, went west as far as Eagle Pass and eastward as far as Corpus Christi on the gulf coast. Texas is a state of a great variety of soils, soils that are of variable value and adapted to a great range of vegetation. This fact is devel- oping more and more every day as the state is becoming more thickly settled and a scientific knowledge is being ob- tained of its agricultural possibilities. It must be remembered that a great por- tion of southwestern Texas has lain dor- mant, only awaiting the touch of skilled husbandry to develop it. "Cotton is, of course, to Texas what corn is to Iowa, but there are other crops that will net the farmer much larger returns, provided he is successful in marketing his product. The success- ful cultivation of watermelons and Ber- muda onions is assured. Watermelons can be grown at little expense and with- out irrigation, and if the grower is suc- cessful in getting his crop on the market FiUBBUARY 14, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 927 The Rear and Front Views of a Group Arranged with the Wihbold Plant Stand. early it will net him a handsome profit. The Bermuda onions require irrigation. This means a large initial investment, but, in my opinion, under irrigation the returns to the grower are much more profitable, as the demand seems almost unlimited. The onion growers are or- ganized much on the same plan adopted by the grape growers of Council Bluffs, and with such an organization they will be able to command higher prices in the future than they have been get- ting." When Mr. Wilcox goes out on a land- hunting expedition he goes equipped for business, His is no superficial survey. He consults government weather reports for statistics on wind, rainfall, etc., car- ries a spade and an auger with which to test soils, and is an inveterate inter- viewer, gathering information from every source possible as he proceeds. "What do you think of Texas land as an investment, ' ' was asked Mr. Wilcox. * ' Carefully selected Texas land, ' ' re- plied Mr. Wilcox, "cannot but be an ex- cellent investment. Any good land in the state that is located within a reasonable distance of the market will be worth $20 to $25 an acre in another year. But land is not the only thing in which invest- ments can be profitably made in that state. At Corpus Christi there are hun- dreds of acres of cabbage, cauliflower and cucumbers that are grown for the northern markets and are netting the growers a handsome profit. While there I saw orange trees loaded with fruit. At San Antonio the parks are beautiful and roses are in bloom now, and while I was there we enjoyed real summer weather. We bought our newspapers on the streets from barefooted boys and read them on the hotel veranda. It was my first trip south and it was certainly an interesting one to me." TROUBLE WITH VIOLETS. I am having trouble in my violet house with a small black or brown fly that seems to be in the soil as well as on the plants; in fact, they are all over. I have fumigated with tobacco stems several times with little or no effect. There are also quite a number of white and yellow maggots in the soil. Some of the plants are in good condition, while others seem to be dying. The plants seem to be slow in budding; some of the strongest are not blooming at all. The soil is not very good, as I was late in getting started, and I didn't have time to prepare it. I simply dug it up and mixed three loads with one of manure and put it in the benches. E. W. G. You have my sympathy in your troubles. As it is getting so late in the season that you would not get them in good order to bloom, even if you treated them successfully, and as. they are so far gone, the best thing you can do is to cremate them, root and branch, on a good hot boiler fire, every last one of them. I would not want any stock from plants in the condition you describe. Then I would clean out all the soil and spread it out on the ground outdoors, in a thin layer, so that the frost would have a good chance at it all. Then if the house is devoted to violets alone, I would give it one or two good sulphur fumigations, a few days apart, then sweeten up the benches, soil under benches, etc., with a good h^avy coating of hot, freshly slaked lime. Then it will be in good shape to be useful for spring stock of any kind; and I never saw any one with room enough at this time of the year. R. E. S. TOO HIGH TEMPERATURE. Will you please inform mc what effect too much lime has on Marie Louise violets? Ours produce flowers light in color. A large amount of lime was worked into the soil. We keep the tem- perature at 46 degrees at night and 58 degrees in daytime and from 60 to 65 degrees ou bright days, with plenty of air. J. N. A. I do not think that the light color of your violets comes from the lime in the soil, but should more likely thinlTthat it was a lack of enough and proper manure in the soil when making up the borders. Have you had aphis on them? They will weaken the plants so that the flowers 928 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Fbbbuaby 14, 1907. will come light and spotted. Again, you are keeping them a little too warm, as Marie Louise likes a night temperature of 40 to 45 degrees and a day tempera- ture of, say, 55 or 60 degrees. And it is not well to have it go above 60 degrees if it is possible to keep it down by ventilation and shutting off the heat in the pipes. I think you will have better luck by running cooler. E. E. S. GCX)D PLACE FOR VIOLETS. "We would like to ask you for sug- gestions as to keeping a succession of stock in greenhouses throughout the year, if practicable. We are in the nursery business and have two propagating houses, 10x100, and six other houses, on hot water boilers, that can be run 50 degrees to 55 degrees. We are near Buf- falo and have two other cities of 50,000 and 200,000 for markets. We propagate roses, plants sufficient for our nursery business, say 40,000 by summer propaga- tion, also ampelopsis and clematis. What would you suggest as practicable to fill in the summer months and autumn? We have considered carnations, chrysanthe- mums, violets and lilies of the valley. Is there anything better? ■ D. M. Lily of the valley cannot be success- fully forced unless a brisk bottom heat and minimum winter atmospheric tem- perature of 70 or 75 degrees is at com- mand. Not knowing the dimensions of the six other houses named, it is difficult to advise what to grow. If they are of about similar width to the two whose length and breadth are given, violets would be more suitable than either car- nations or chrysanthemums. We think it would be better to grow one particu- lar flower than a variety. Violets do not need over 45 degrees at night in winter. If it is decided to grow doubles they could be lifted from the field about the end of August. In the case of singles, of which Princess of Wales is the best sort, the plants should be left out until they have had a few degrees of frost. If lifted before they are frozen they will make leaf growth at the expense of flowers. We do not know the requirements of the several city markets named, but would suggest violets as the likeliest crop. The singles will have finished flowering at the end of March and the doubles a month later, when the regular propagation of roses, etc., could be done. C.W. Oklahoma City, Okla. — A new $2,000 greyihouse is to be built in Wheeler park, and henceforth the city will grow its own plants. SOME CHICAGO SEEDLINGS. Illustrated in this issue are several Chicago seedling carnations, at least two of which are confidently expected to be- come widely disseminated in the trade. It appears that red is the favorite color of the experimenters whose principal oc- cupation is growing cut flowers for the Chicago market. Bassett & Washburn, at Hinsdale, have raised a considerable number of seedlings, nearly all of them red. The one illustrated is that known as No. 20, which was awarded the Amer- ican Carnation Society's bronze medal over more than a dozen competitors at the Toronto convention. No. 20 is a cross of Prosperity and Crane. It has Prosperity size and the flower has full petalage, giving an excellent form of bloom. The edges are serrated. Practi- cally every grower at Toronto commented on the commercial possibilities of this variety, it being accorded a reception equal to Mr, Washburn's fondest antici- pations, which is saying quite a little. Stock is being worked up on this variety and it is expected to bench 25,000 plants for next season. It will be the flrst time Bassett & Washburn have under- taken the exploitation of a new carna- tion. They intend to exhibit it largely next year and will in the meantime select one of those catchy and appropriate names which are a large assistance in the distribution of any new plant. At Mt. Greenwod W. N. Rudd is grow- ing practically nothing but seedlings originating on the place. The pet of the family is No. 28103A. We do not vouch for the continuity of the numerals ap- plied to the seedlings originating here, but it is apparent that it was some time since series A was entered upon. This is a deep flesh pink, a cross between two unnamed seedlings. It has the blood of Daybreak, Scott, Mrs. McBurney and Mayor Pingree. It first flowered in 1903. He must indeed be of sanguine temperament who thinks he has a suc- cessor to Enchantress. But Mr, Rudd is of opinion, and it is worth while noting that he was one of the first to comment on the decadence of Lawson, that En- chantress has seen its best days. He has great expectations for No, 28103A and is working up stock of it to plant in quantity next season. The flowers have been on the Chicago market through E. F, Winterson Co, this season and have sold at a better price than Enchantress. The flower is large, the form excellent, the stem strong and of good length. Wietor Bros, have been growing seed- lings, for pure interest in the work. They do not contemplate introducing anything now on the place, but have a W. N. Rudd's Red Seedling Carnation, No. 16802A. ■J Febbuakv 14, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review^ 929 number of good ones, several of which will be planted in considerable quantity next season. It is worth while noting that practically all their seedlings are red, although they also have a good white. The preponderance of red would indicate a strong desire for something better than existing varieties of this color, but their seedlings all antedate Victory and Robert Craig. The one illus- trated is a flovter of good size on a strong stem and with excellent calyx. The color is bright and the variety has excellent shipping quality. Another Mr. Rudd hopes "will trot," to employ a characteristic expression, is a scarlet designated as No. 16802A. It is a seedling of Estelle on another seed- ling produced by many crosses. There is Argyle, Mrs. McBurney and Maceo blood in it. It first flowered in 1902 and has given excellent results thus far. Mr. Rudd is growing it in considerable quan- tity this year. Ed Winterson thinks highly of it. No. 18103A is nearly a pure ros-e pink and a beautiful thing when it comes right, but Mr. Rudd says he is afraid it is too uncertain to grow in quantity. It first flowered in 1903, a cross of Dorothy Whitney on a seedling. The first cross, in 1896, was Daybreak x Wm. Scott. It also has the blood of Mrs. McBurney and Cerise Queen, the latter at one time hav- ing been Mr. Rudd's most prized pink variety. All these seedlings probably will be shown at the meeting of the Chicago Florists' Club tonight, Thursday, Febru- ary 14. MR. STROUD'S- OPINIONS. [The views of Edward A. Strond, Overbrook, Pa., as expressed before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia. February 5. 1U07.] Our worthy president, Mr. Pennock, William P. Craig, Mr. Beattie, my fore- man, and myself left the Reading ter- minal at 6:30 Tuesday evening, expect- ing to arrive in Toronto for the Carna- tion Society's convention at 10:30 next morning, but the train was delayed, not reaching its destination until 1 p. m., so that we had barely time to get to the hall and stage the few flowers I had sent before the opening of the convention. I will not attempt to go into the detail of the proceedings, or of the prizes awarded. What the members want to know, I think, is my opinion of the va- rieties shown, and their respective merits. I am more than ever convinced that a line must be drawn between what may be termed the exhibition and the com- mercial carnation, just as we class our chrysanthemums. I want to impress members with the fact that the prize awards are very misleading. The ques- tion of how many flowers per square foot, and how these flowers are cut through the various months of the year, are facts which can be gained only through experience. I will take the carnations in their colors starting with the white section. Whites. Alma Ward stood out prominently. It certainly is an exquisite flower and has improved considerably since shown at Boston. It is particularly adapted to the New York market, where it can command the price of which it is worthy. I suppose you noticed that this variety was awarded the silver medal; the gold medal was withheld because the judges did not consider any variety up to the standard required by a gold medal, and I might add that, taking all the ex- hibits, none was at its best, owing doubt- less to the unfavorable weather all over the country the week previous. White Perfection, well spoken of by many, is a fine, large flower, a good, clean white and an improvement over Lady Bountiful except in stem. I have some doubts as to its keeping qualities. White Lawson comes such a poor color and so short-stemmed early in the season that it is not just all that is desired. The whites were poorly repre- sented. I do not recall a vase of Lady Bountiful, which was so prominent at the Boston show. The general impres- sion among the trade is that it lacks petalage, is neither early enough, nor free enough. There is a great opening for a new white and I wish some one would originate one to fill the bill. A new white called Georgia looks as though it mignt be a good thing com- mercially. It does not have the size of White Perfection, but has a better stem and, I should judge, is a free bloomer. The Reds. Robert Craig still holds first honors, according to the judges. It is no doubt a fine red, and where a fancy price can be obtained, it wouhl be profitable to grow. Beacon was well represented by Mr. Fisher, Cottage Gardens, and the Straf- ford Flower Farm. We think well of Beacon. The habit of the plant is sim- ilar to Enchantress and shows excellent breeding. It is free, healthy and of good size as to flower. I have heard some criticism as to its color. Person- ally I see no objection to it, as my ex- perience with red carnations has proven that the orange-reds are better keepers and shippers and without the habit of bruising, as do Cardi|>al, Adonis and Flamingo. I am satisfied with Beacon and expect to grow a quantity next year. Victory was not shown extensively. It has the same good qualities as Beacon in regard to its keeping qualities and color. If it has any faults it may be considered a trifle weak in stem and form of flower. A new red of merit was a seedling from Bassett & W^aahburn. As I saw it on the table it looked like a good com- mercial variety. Red Chief, exhibited by F. Dorner & 930 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Fi;bruabt 14, 1907. ^ Sons Co., while a good color, showed- a weakness of stem which made it unde- sirable to me. This fault, I understand^' was owing to the climatic conditions.' I was informed that Lady Bountiful, whepi first shown as a seedling, looked much the same way. Mr. Haines ' red has done poorly at Strafford, If I could grow it the way Mr. Haines does it would be fine, but, unfortunately, I have not yet been able to do so; it does not feel at home at|] Strafford, and the difficulty looks to me , like a question of soil. I saw it doing beautifully at. Mr. Wiedener's' place at Elkins Park. - tnPi'nk. In the class designated as'the^Scott shade of pink, Winsor was shown by the P. E. Piergon Co., in quantity and it certainly^ appeals to me. It is what is "wanted in color and, while it may he "slightly undersized, and may be a little short in stem, its freedom and color off- set, to my mind, anything that may be said against- it. ^ Winsome was one I did not examine closely. It seemed a pleasing shade and one that would be desirabie. Daille- douze Bros, exhibited a pink sport_ of Lawson. The cerise class, or Lawscto shade of pink, was better represented than any other class. The great objection, it . seemed to me, was the bluish cast most of them had. Two, the colors of which pleased me, were Afterglo^^and Mr. Weber's new seedling, Mabefle. Both of these arrived too late to be judged. Aristocrat is a fine, large flower. Its color did not strike me favorably. Per- haps I am too critical. Dailledouze Bros. ' new, seedling.

The temptation to economize in fuel has caused many growers to keep the ventilators down and let the steam go down when it was not absolutely nec- essary to have steam up to keep the tettiperature up to the mark. Perhaps you made the same mistake. It is sur- prising how quickly the atmosphere be- comes damp and foul and unfit for plants to grow in. During such weather you should keep up fire heat and if necessary keep the ventilators open an inch or two. Not only does this let out the excessive heat, but it causes a circulation of air which in turn dries out the atmosphere in the house. Changing the air in the house is as necessary as watering the soil, and you should make it a practice to raise ;the ventilators an inch or two for a" little while every day. If it is cold out- doors, you need not raise them much, in fact you should not be able to feel any cold draught. A very small crack will change the atmosphere in an hour, and the colder it is outside the quicker will be the change. Oftentimes during prolonged cold spells some growers will not open the ventilators for a week or more. This is a mistake which brings on spot diseases and causes the stock to grow soft much quicker than if fresh air had been supplied every day. Then, also, you should use such precautions as painting a steam pipe with sulphur and lime and water, or dusting the plants with the same mixture in dry form or grape dust. If your houses are inclined to be damp, you should throw slaked lime around under the benches and in cor- ners, etc. Running the roots on the dry side will do little or no good if the atmosphere is damp and musty. Pick off all the affected leaves and burn them. Then if you will follow the above sug- gestions, and with the aid of the sun- shine we are likely to have now, your plants should grow out clean again. A. F. J. B. REPOTTING. As soon as the pots are filled with roots and the young plants have com- pleted their first growth, they ought to be repotted without delay, so as to avoid any check. If this operation is neg- lected the plants become stunted and hard and require a long time to regain their vigor. Half-inch shifts, although entailing more care and labor, are pref- erable to shifts of one inch, as the growth is of a firmer texture and the plant more stocky. The usual rose soil passed through a M>-inch screen without any additional fertilizer is rich enough to carry them on until they require an- other shift. Pot firmly and keep, the ball about in the same position in the new pot as it occupied in the old. Water thoroughly until the whole of the soil in the pot is uniformly moist. As there is always more or less draught in the potting-shed, the plants should not be allowed to sit around any longer than necessary, but should be remo\-ed to the house they are to occupy. In order to give these young plants a fair show they should be placed on a bench with a full exposure to the sun where there is plenty of ventila- tion without draught. They will now require persistent and careful attention in regard to watering and syringing, particularly syringing; as, if spider once gets a lodgment, it is very difficult to get rid of it, owing to the density of foliage and closeness to the bench. They will also be subject to mildew and every preventive should be used to keep them clean, as a dose at this stage is very harmful, frequently checking the plants to such an extents that they are practically ruined. The best preventive is to be careful in ventilating. By' this I mean to give the plants all the air possible, consistent with safety, keeping a steady temperature night and day and avoiding all sudden fluctuations and draughts. For safety, a dusting of sulphur once a week should be applied, selecting a bright, warm day for the operation and allowing it to remain on the leaves for at least twenty-four hours before using the syringe. At a temperature of 56 degrees nights and from 60 degrees to 75 degrees dur- ing the day, the plants will make wood of a good texture and form good eyes for a future growth. Eibes. THE HYBRIDIZATION OF ROSES. [A paper by John Cook, of Baltimore, Md., read before the Washington Florists' Club, February 5, by Charles McCauley.] The longer I study and work in the line of hybridizing, the more I find there is no ending in the mysterious working of nature. Hybridizing has been carried on by botanists for nearly 200 years, but more for scientific knowledge than for the floricultural improvement of flowers, in particular the rose. The First Hybrids. The first hybrid tea roses were raised by Mr. Bennet, of England, and then rapidly followed up by German and French rose growers. The first hybrid tea rose in this country, namely. Souvenir de Wootton, was raised by the writer of this article about twenty years ago. It was the outcome of crossing Bon Si- lene with Louis Van Houtte. In at- tempting to recross this rose for several years I found it has a tendency to re- produce itself, and I abandoned it. Then came Marion Dingee, out of Caserta, a good, dark red rose for outdoor purposes, and Mrs. Robert Garrett, out of Som- breuill and Caroline Testout. Cotnmercuil Seedlings. Thousands of seedlings have been raised and some of them have produced extra fine flowers; but the habit in the way of growth and the production of the flowers for commercial purposes were such that it would not pay to grow them. i found by recrossing some of those seedlings which have the least faults, we ar^e more apt to get good roses for a commercial purpose. I have one now which has the good points for commer- cial winter work. It is the second generation of my white seedling. Ma- donna, and the En.chanter. It has a stronger growth than either of them, a stiff stem and large, pink flowers a shade lighter than the Enchanter. Another one, which is the outcome of one of my un- named seedlings, with another unnamed one which had American Beauty blood on the male side, is now ten months old from the seed, and has produced during this winter five beautiful, shell pink flowers. The flowers are as large as the American Beauty, with three and four feet of stiff stems. The foliage is larger and handsomer than that of Beauty. The future will only tell how satisfactory this" is going to prove. There are many other recrossed seedlings in sight, of which I will not speak now. The trouble with most of our winter flowering standard varieties is, that the organs are, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, imperfect; namely, Bride, Bridesmaid, and Golden Gate. In red we have good material to work on, such as Richmond, Cardinal and Liberty. The best in pink is Caroline Testout. Marie Van Houtte, with its strong, healthy growth, makes a good seed bearer, as does also Etoil de France. As this rose proved to be too double, I thought of using the pollen for a less double rose. I chose Richmond. The result was that two seedlings came up and bloomed for the first time a month ago. One of them was perfectly single, with a more rapid growth than the Richmond, and the other one was as double as Etoil de France. I have several seedlings where the pollen was taken from three and four different varieties mixed together, and they are of the richest color in red of any I have ever raised. Hints on Pollination. In most cases, if you cross a white variety with a pink one the seedling will be lighter than the parent pink; and if you cross a pink rose with a red one, it will be darker. For the seed bearer I would use the strongest grower and for the pollen bearer the best color. It takes four or five months for the seed to ripen. When perfectly ripe bruise the hepe, or seed ball, and put it in sand; it will soon rot. Then you can wash the seed out and sow it at once. It will take from three to ten months for some to come up. You will find that not near so many will come up as you have sown. The reason of this is, a great many of the pistils are Fbbkuauy 14, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review. 933 twisted; consequently the pollen cannot be carried down to the ovule. 1 always take a little pollen of the seed bearer in order to get as much of its habit as possible, as the pollen parent Bometimes dominates over the seed bearer and you lose exaietly what you have been trying to preserve, a strong growing habit. Under glass I fertilize any time, sum- mer or winter. For outdoors in summer you have to do this early, as the pollen on a hot day towards noon gets hard and is then worthless. If the pistils have a watery appearance, then is the time to apply the pollen. If the flower which you wish to fertilize is not quite ready to receive the pollen, you can cut the flower, which you wish to poUenize with, put it in a tumbler of water in a cool, shady place and it will keep for two or three days. Work With Other Plants. Martner, of Germany, was the first to give the florists some really good things in the way of azaleas. The first crossing of tuberous-rooted begonias was made by Zeith & Sons, of London, in 1869. Much has been written lately about the pollen- ization of the pear. My first attempt in this line was about fifteen years ago. I crossed the Duchess with the Seckel, and the Kieffer with the Seckel, and carefully poUenized them for two days in succession. As the flowers appear in clusters, I pollenized every one on one cluster. In a few days I examined them and found that half of them were drop- ping off. I had noticed at the beginning that some of the stems that carry the flowers were of a much paler green than others. By close examination and dis- secting I found it was the fault of the stem that supplies the flower with nour- ishment and no amount of pollen would set fruit. This only shows that the fault of not setting fruit is put on the wrong side. Plants are capable of forming the fleshy part, or the shell, case, or what- ever you may call it, that surrounds the germ of the seed without any pollen. I have a Cycas revoluta which every other year brings a crop of seed, not the fleshy part, and the shell that sur- rounds the little bulby part inside is always perfect. All it would need would be some pollen to fertilize it, as pollen is nothing more than living cells, and with these cells life begins. My advice to young men is to begin early and study plant anatomy and physiology. Dissect the flowers and fruit, follow up the organs, see where they start from and where they go. Without this study we are working in a fog and by studying them we are able to gather a few pebbles on the shore of horticul- tural knowledge. FOOD FOR TEAS. How much manure should be put into sandy loam for Bride and Maid roses and how much bone meal? Should the beds be tamped before planting? Should they be watered with liquid manure when dry and with clear water between each of the manure waterings? How early should liquid manure be given them? W. R. M. It depends on the nature and richness of the soil and, without examining it, it is impossible to state the exact propor- tions of soil and manure required to make it suitable for roses. The quality of the manure must also be taken into consideration. The usual proportions are good, turfy loam four, decomposed cow manure one. Tamping the soil in the benches is a rather ancient custom and not much practiced by up-to-date growers; but if the soil is of a very sandy nature the s6il can, be tamped firm after the plants are benched. It is not a good plan to feed with liquid manure when the soil is dry, as the plants are apt to use too much at OBce and sicken themselves. When the soil is in a half dry condition is the best time to use it. If the liquid fe^eding is of ordinary strength and the plants are robust there is no necessity for using clear water be- tween liquid applications. As to the proper time to commence feeding with liquid the grower must be guided by the condition of his plants and the original richness of his compost. Many good growers refrain from this practice until the days begin to lengthen in February. Bone meal can be applied at almost any time with beneficial results. One bushel to each 500 superficial feet of sur- The advertisement in the Carna- tion Number of was entirely satisfactory and has brought us lots of business. Will soon use more space.

The Market While wintery conditions continue and we are enjoying zero temperature, with abundance of snow for sleighing, we have had rather more sunshine and flow- ers are more abundant. In the case of carnations, prices have fallen and a further decline in the near future is probable. The long dull spell in De- cember and January must be held re- sponsible for a lack of stem on many of the flowers. Roses still sell at high prices, although a decline, due to increasing supplies, is noted as compared with the previous week. Best Beauties and Richmonds still realize something like Christmas prices. Short-stemmed Brides and Maids are more abundant and lower. Violets are plentiful and many are sold at 25 cents to 30 cents per hundied, which is not very remunerative. Best stock, however, still realizes 50 cents to 75 cents. Sweet peas continue to sell well. Easter lilies are rather scarce and make $2 a dozen. There is a much larger quantity of bulbous stock arriving, ^ut the bulk of it clears satisfactorily.

The Market Pittsburg and vicinity passed through a blizzard last week. The coldest spots reported were Charleroi, 6 degrees be- low; Steubenville, 8 degrees belOw, and Cheswick, 20 degrees below; but the sun has managed to show itself occasionally. Stock is coming in a Jittle more plen- tifully, but the prices are still high, es- j»ecially on roses. Trade has been good, the wholesalers managing to clean up every day. The retailers are still complaining about high prices hurting their business and fear that it will have the eflfect of scaring their customers off and that it will take some time to get them in the habit of buying after stock gets down to more reasonable prices. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club met Tuesday even- ing, February 5, and elected officers for the ensuing year. The secretary reports a membership of 159. During the year there were seven resignations and one death; eight were dropped for nonpay- nient of dues. HowQver, during the year seventeen new members were added. The treasury showed a balance of $163.71 and all bills paid. Carnations, the subject of the even- ing, was ta^en up. The Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co. exhibited Flamingo; Fred Burki, Enchantress, Lawson, Haines, Lieut. Peary, Eose-pink Enchantress, White Perfection, White Lawson, Lady Bountiful, a pink seedling and a red seedling, all of which were good. John Wyland exhibited Lady Bountiful, En- chantress, Lawson and Bose-pink En- chantress. E. C. Ludwig showed a vase of carnations shipped from Michigan.

F. K. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y., sent Winsor and White Enchant- ress, both good, but Winsor was the favorite of the evening and the opinion of Fred Burki was that it is a good thing and just the variety and color which has been sought and badly needed. After all had satisfied themselves dis- cussing the various exhibits, Mr. Burki and Mr. Wyland, who had attended the Toronto convention, were called on for reports on the convention. Among other things they suggested that the club rep- resentatives be given power at the next convention to ask the Carnation Society to come to Pittsburg. This was taken up, considered at some length, and the result was a motion to take at once such steps as would result in bringing the Carnation Society to Pittsburg, if not in 1909, at least not later than 1910. This city has now many growers and a good membership in the Carnation So- ciety, and besides being centrally lo- cated, has much to show the visiting members and could undoubtedly do as much as any city in the country to make the convention a success. At Washing- ton next year you will hear from Pitts- burg. The Baur Floral Co., of Erie, Pa., sent samples of carnation clips; also the M. & D. artificial calyx was shown and examined by all the growers and their merits discussed. After a motion of a vote of thanks to the exhibitors, the meeting adjourned. John E. Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., sent an exhibit of Imperial and Pink Imperial which were fine. They came one day late for the show, but after being thawed out were exhibited by the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., for the bal- ance of the week. An argument as to the best time and method of planting carnations, by Fred Burki and John Wyland, was one of the features of the club meeting. This came about in discussing varieties and uncon- sciously they gave the best talk ever Februaky 14, 1907.

Murdoch & Co. say the demand for Beauties is exceptionally heavy. Hoo-Hoo. BALTIMORE. The Market We had heavy snow last week but business has been steady. Prices keep high, with stock scarce. The retail de- mand has been fair, considering the bad weather conditions. The Baltimore Flo- rists' Exchange has many advance orders and little is left for the one who has no order in. Everything is sold. Eoses are steadier and carnations more regular, some bringing up to $8 per hun- dred, according to quality. Freesia is selling at $1 per hundred. Tulips are bringing good prices. Callas are still scarce. Paper Whites and Romans are doing better, but are not so plentiful. Sweet peas are short in supply. Greens of all kinds seem to be enough to meet demand. Baltimore's great fire, February 7, 1904, has made history in every business. The florists are all prosperous, but not one florist was caught in the conflagra- tion. C. E. Smith & Co. and E. A. Seide- witz w«re the only ones in the immediate neighborhood, and they were fortunate in escaping. Since then Mr. Seidewitz has opened an up-to-date store on North Charles street, in the same block with Halliday, Feast and J. Cook. C. E. Smith & Co. have made extensive alterations in their place. The improvements since the great tire are too numerous for me to mention. Nearly every florist has done his share. Qub Meetin£. The regular meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club was held February 11, President Lehr in the chair. There was a good attendance. The ladies' night, which was to have occurred on this date, will take place February 25. C. H. Wag- ner was elected a member. The likeness of the founder of the club, the late Rob- ert Halliday, now hangs over the presi-. dent's chair. Otto Fielder was proposed for membership. Professor Symons, of the Maryland Agricultural College, gave an interest- ing talk on the coming Jamestown ex- hibition and encouraged the members to exhibit their products. At the first meet- ing in March Professor Symons will again be with the club and urge its mem- bers to cooperate with him. An exhibi- tion of plants and cut flowers will be shown. * Various Notes. While trimming a tree a short time ago, L. P. Eyer was thrown to the ground. He sustained a sprained ankle, but is able to be about again. H. Tilton, 519 N.

Gary, Catonsville, has the grip, but will be able to attend to his greenhouse duties in a few days. J. Owens, of J. G. Owens & Co., Ca- tonsville, underwent an operation at Uni- versity hospital for tumor in the back. It is expected he will be about in a few days. Mrs. Annie Bangert, the gardener's wife who put poison in the spring of E. Stanley Gary on his country place, was sentenced to two years in the house of correction. August Eberhart, W.

The bright sunshine has had its effect on the supply of cut flowers, which is better at the close of the season than at any time since New Year's. The de- mand is excellent, but with the marked increase in supply there is a slight ten- dency toward lower prices, especially on carnations. The bulbous flowers are plentiful and extremely fine. An impor- tant addition to the list is the double orange tulip, Coronne d'Or, which can now be had in quantity. Roses are ever so much better than a fortnight ago; some really choice stock is coming in, noticeably in the teas.

Farenwald, of Hillside, lost two large houses of Richmond last week which were crushed in by the weight of the snow. The work of rebuilding was at once commenced. Henry Whelen, of Newton, had two houses seriously damaged last week. They fell in during the snow storm. A. Harvey & Sons, of Brandywine Summit, had the end of one carnation house badly damaged by the snow storm last week. The Hugh Graham Co., Ix)gan, Pa., had one house, filled with azaleas, badly broken in last week's storm. Evolution. The immense increase in the quantity of Easter lilies forced during midwinter is one of the most striking features of the advance of knowledge and skill among our growers. A few years ago these lilies nearly all came from out of town. The price was then 20 cents to 25 cents a flower. Now they are pro- duced here in increasing quantities, one firm, T. N. Yates & Co., supplying 1,000 flowers in pots for a single decoration. In speaking about lilies, Walter N. Yates, of this firm, said he believed Lilium Har- risii was the only type that could be grown for early forcing and that the price obtained must be sufficient to cover the loss on diseased bulbs that are still an important item of expense.

The ballroom of the Bellevue-Stratford is so beautiful that it requires little aid from the decorator in the way of cover- ing corners or changing proportions. All efforts are turned to heightening the ef- fect as it is. The stage is banJied, the receiving room embellished, an occasional specimen placed, and that is all. The strong points in the decoration, which was in perfect taste, were the quality of the plants used, the suitability or proper selection of sizes and the simplicity of color, green predominating, flowers chiefly pink and white. The novel fea- tures of the decorations were the dwarf Japanese apple and cherry trees in bloom. A few wistarias were also seen. The color idea was carried out on the supper tables, fancy Bridesmaid roses and white lilac predominating. A hun- dred or more little tables, each contain- ing a single tall vase filled with one flower of fine quality, made a garden ef- fect of great beauty. I understood the decoration was arranged by Edward Habermehl, whose work has been greatly admired this winter. A Letter From Mars.

It is an ex- quisite little piece of work, with many curious stones and other objects of spe- cial interest to the initiated.

Mr. Bat- tles' idea is that, though the rear of a conservatory is generally a good place for rubbish, such an arrangement is not consistent with modem business in the present century. Pennock Bros, have carried out the St. Valentine idea in a beautifully ar- ranged window filled with little baskets of flowers suspended by ribbon with be- low them heart-shaped boxes and other pretty things. Edward A. Stroud's paper on the To- ronto convention, which appears in this issue, was not written for publication. Mr. Stroud gave his opinions on the va- rieties exhibited at Toronto for the bene- fit of his fellow members in the club only, but he was finally persuaded to al- low this most excellent paper to be pub- lished. George Chandler, of Kennett, was among the out-of-town visitors at the Florists' Club meeting last week. William A. Mangan accompanied John E, Haines from South Bethlehem to this city last week. Mr. Mangan is Mr. Haines' grower. William P. Craig says that Samuel Batchelor's Enchantress were the largest he ever saw. Answers to Correspondents. Review readers are Inrlted to send any ques- tions relating to culture or marketing of plants and flowers in Philadelphia, to Phil, in care of any of the leading seed or commission houses. Each question will be submitted to a competent person and answered under number. Correct name and address must always accompany in- quiry, but will not be published. 63. — How are White Perfection and Lady Bountiful for a small grower! Are they good bloomers? Ans. — Yes, but you will probably do better by planting a freer blooming va- riety, such as Queen. 64. — What is the best and most pro- ductive variegated carnation? Ans. — Mrs. Patten. But I would not plant too many variegated, as Enchant- ress nearly always outsells Patten. 65. — Name a few good fancy varieties of asters. Ans. — Semples', Vick's or Carlson's. 66. — ^What prices would field-grown gladioli usually bring at the beginning of the season, and would they be ready sellers f Ans. — Two dollars to $4 a hundred. They sell fairly well. 67. — Do spikes of florists' light-col- ored mixed gladioli bring good prices, or are named varieties preferable? Ans. — Named varieties in scarlet, white, and soft pink are preferable, be- cause, when there is an oversupply, which frequently happens, the poorer colors are unsalable. 68. — Are Augusta and America supe- rior to others as cut spikes? Ans. — Yes. They brought the highest price last season, $5 a hundred. 69. — What size box should be used for shipping? Ans. — Opinions differ. Try boxes six feet long, twelve inches wide, and six inches deep. Phil. NEIT YORK. The Market Not since the great blizzard of 1888 have we had in New York such a gen- uine case of winter as last week. You can best realize the quantity of "the beautiful" that fell by the fact that it costs the city a million dollars to remove it. The temperature hugged zero occa- sionally and 15 degrees above was a fair average for the week. This has served to make the cut flower industry an un- certain quantity.

Mention The Review wheu you write. prices are offset by a distressing scarcity of good stock. The wholesaler finds it hard to meet the regular demand for quantity and the retailer has found the public, apart from the natural increase in funerals, not enthusiastic. Then, too, the bears down in Wall street are squeez- ing the money spenders and, as a prom- inent ±'ifth avenue retailer said to me on Saturday, "Those rich brokers and bankers will not spend money for flow- ers when the market is going down ; ' ' and there you have the situation just as it is today. Before the end of the present week everything may be seen through opti- mistic glasses. The sun may shine stead- ily, the roses take on color and quantity and balls and weddings grow more abun- dant. In fact, of the latter the bookings are very cheering. Each of the leading retailers has his books comfortably cov- ered up to Easter. Lent began Wednes- day, but less and less every year do the 400 or the 4,000 feel the influence of the religious sentiment that brings self-sac- rifice. The modern Babylon, this great- est city of all the ages, has not enough old-fashioned orthodoxy left to use a barrel of ashes or a ream of sackcloth from Lent's beginning to its close. Prices are about the same as a week ago; stock just about as scarce. Beau- ties, the best, have brought $12 per dozen. Brides and Maids were quoted at $12 to $15 per hundred, but a few could * ' go you five better, ' ' as the speculators say. Carnations are down ; the best from $6 to $8 and so on down to $1.50; many of them the worse for wear. Valley is everywhere and lots of it sold at $1 and $2. The best does not go over $3. Nar- cissi were so abundant last week one was justified in thinking the southern stock had already arrived. I heard one South Carolina lady visitor telling a retailer she "reckoned her yard was full of *em in flower neow, " and maybe it is. Lilac has gone down a peg and lilies are n6 more numerous and hold their advantage well at about double Easter priSes, and Easter only seven weeks away. Violets have had to hustle, or at least the distributors have, to realize 75 cents per hundred. Thousands were closed out •• ■• '■^'.Ti' 944 . T The Weekly Florists^ Review* February 14, 1907.

There promises to be a better market for St. Valentine's day. The finest orchids at times were down to 50 cents each but McManus says the de- mand is widening steadily. Considerable stock of all kinds came in frozen last week. We have so little winter around the city, shippers grow careless and run into weather that it does not do to tamper with. The early market some days was almost deserted. Only nine growers materialized the morn- ing of the big storm. No wonder Ru- dolph Fischer, the f reesia man, is going to California. Qttb Meetinc:. The Florists' Club's meeting Monday evening, February 11, was largely at- tended. President Totty occupied the chair. The exhibits of carnations and other flowers were extensive and beauti- ful. Business engagements prevented the attendance of the canteen officer, and Will Kickards and Bobby Schultz filled his shoes acceptably. The outing com- mittee reported a grove secured for July 2 and all other details under way. Henry Hornecker, R. E. Berry, Albert Weisenberger, A. Begerow, A. F. Faulk- ner and Geo. E. Dickinson were elected to membership and Messrs. Eccles, Ken- nedy, Pause and Geraghty proposed. Some suggestions in the president's ad- dress were discussed, the formation of a bowling club among them. The enthu- siasm in behalf of a club backed by the organization did not materialize. An independent club to meet in the after- noon is in process of arrangement, how- ever, and will soon be in operation. The committee on closer relation with the S. A. F. was instructed to report at the next meeting. The resignation of Edward Hitchings, now of Pasadena, Cal., was accepted. The exhibits were: A vase of Welieome" carnations by Dailledouze Bros. The committee visited this firm January 17 and awarded the flower 91% points. The thanks of the club were given the exhibitors. Toreador, from H. Weber & Sons, scored 87 points and received a prelimi- nary certificate. Mabelle, from the same firm, was not in condition for exhibition. Pink Imperial and Imperial, from Guttman & Haines, were not in condition. A vase of Winsor, from F. R. Pierson Co. and already certified, received the thanks of the club. From F.

A vote of thanks was given the Toronto Florists' Club for its devotion to the happiness of the New York visitors. Various Notes. The Florists' Club's annual dinner is set for February 23. W. 1'.

Brooklyn* Business «, among the wholesalers of Brooklyn is progressing satisfactorily. But in no other city, perhaps, in the country does the same system of distri- bution prevail. "Without the telephone there would be no wholesaling in the city of churches. Every order comes by phone and delivery is made by boy ex- press. The number of youngsters kept hustling up to noon delivering the goods would surprise you. Some of the whole- salers have a dozen on the list of ' ' get theres. " It is the custom made natural by years of New York tuition before Brooklyn boasted a wholesale florist, and the habit cannot be overcome. Bonnet & Blake, W. H. Kuebler, Hicks & Craw- buck and Henry R. Crawbuck make up the quartet and their large, up-to-date establishments and growing trade speak encouragingly for the system and hope- fully for the future. The number of re- tail florists in Brooklyn at the present rate of increase ought to total half a thousand before 1908. J. Austin Shaw. ST. LOUIS. The Market Weather conditions were against the retail trade last week and the week ended with not much doing except fu- neral work, a few small weddings and dinner parties. The wholesalers have been up against it on roses the last two weeks. Extra fine, long Beauties are out of question in this market and, of course, prices are away up on all stock. Carnations have been abundant but are cleaned up pretty well each morning, owing to the scarcity of roses. More Enchantress than any other variety is in the market. There are a few extra fancy Lawson. There are plenty of splits in reds; plenty of all grades in white. Violets are somewhat scarce. Extra quality California are up to 75 cents and $1 per hundred, Callas are coming in more freely. Some extra fine valley is seen in the market this week. Paper Whites are scarce.

Dole directors tiyri the year 1907. The directors elected Edward W. Dole president and mana- ger; Mrs. S. H. Dole, vice-president, and W. A. Dole, secretary-treasurer. A cash dividend of 10 per cent was declared. The wages of all the employees of the company were increased about twenty per cent over the wages paid last win- ter. The business of the company was be- gun sixteen years ago in a small way and during the dry years was operated "with borrowed capital and at a loss, but since the beginning of general pros- perity the business has had a steady growth. In 1903 the company pur- chased a lot at 215 North Sixth street and the following spring built the store now occupied. In 1904 the business was incorporated as a stock company and five acres of land purchased at Fifth and Hoyt streets. In 1905 the present greenhouses were built and the west side greenhouses were dismantled. In 1906 one greenhouse was added for growing winter lettuce, and twelve acres of land purchased for gardening. Lawrence, Kan. — C. A.

Henry Phillip, Eogers Park, Chi- cago, was given the opportunity of test- ing the Davis Perfect cucumber before arrangements had been made for its distribution to the trade and reports be- ing well pleased with the results obtained withlt. Market gardeners at Eochester, N. Y., use quite largely a cucumber called The Howard, both for forcing and for out- doors. James Vick's Sons say the vari- ety is the result of a cross between Arlington White Spine and Improved Long Green. All melon growers are familiar with the superior flavor and aroma of the salmon-fleshed varieties, such as Osage and Emerald Gem, but the flesh of these fine melons is too soft for long ship- ments. It is said this defect has been remedied in the new Burrell Gem. VEGETABLE MARKETS.

STARTING SPRING PLANTS. Cabbage and cauliflower seeds should be sown without delay, to allow time to make plants of good size without having to hurry them, and to insure nice stocky plants. The best variety of cabbage to sow is Early Jersey Wakefield and the best early cauliflower is Snowball or Dwarf Erfurt. The seed of both these varieties of cauliflower is higher priced than the average run of varieties but they are sure to give satisfaction, and having customers satisfied is worth a little extra outlay. A few onions also should be sown early. There seems to be an increasing demand for these for planting out, as those planted out attain a much larger size than those sown in the open ground. The Tripoli varieties are good for this purpose, also Prizetaker. The seed of the latter can now be procured about as cheaply as that of the ordinary varieties. Tomatoes had better be started toward the end of the month or at the beginning of March. The trouble in sowing them too soon is that they are apt to be too large and leggy before time to plant Vegetable Seeds Frioea to Market Oardeaera 8PBCIAL CUCUMBERS ^-Ib. lb.

Earliana seems to succeed splendidly in some sections, while in others it is not so satisfactory. We have found Sterling Castle good for early work and it seems to succeed everywhere. Egg plants and peppers should be sown about the same time as tomatoes. The old New York Spineless egg plant is a good, reliable sort and the newer va- riety, Black Beauty, seems to give gen- eral satisfaction, while some have a pref- erence for Black Pekin. In peppers Euby King and Sweet Mountain are both good, large varieties and for those who prefer a medium size there is noth- ing better than County Fair. For all these seeds, when plants are to be raised in quantity, flats are best for sowing. These should be made of a uni- form size, so that they will fit e^'enly into the greenhouse benches, and should be about three inches in depth. Soil of a rather light nature is best to use, as heavy soil is apt to bake and retard the coming up of the seedlings. In sections where the soil is heavy it is better to lighten it by the addition of sand, or sand and leaf-mold. It is not necessary to sift all the soil for filling the flats, so long as it is not too lumpy, but that used for the covering of the seeds is better to be sifted. Heavy covering should be avoided. A safe rule is to cover the seeds to about their own depth. If the soil used is moderately moist only a slight sprinkling of water will be nec- essary after sowing. If the soil should be too dry it is better to give a good watering after the flats are filled and allow them to drain off well before sow- ing the seeds. Shading is beneficial until the seeds have started, as it helps to retain the moisture in the soil and avoids the neces- sity of too frequent applications of water, which would harden the surface of the soil and make it harder for the seedlings to break through. If the whole bench where the flats are placed can be shaded by cheese-cloth, or some such ma- terial, it is the most convenient way, but if this is not convenient papers can be spread over the flats during the warm part of the day and removed as the sun gets low. It takes a little time, but it insures a better start than if the flats are left exposed to the full glare of the sun, which would dry the soil out so quickly that an even moisture could not be maintained. The maintenance of an even moisture is the best preventive of damping off, which otherwise is often a serious trouble in the raising of young plants of this class. It stands to reason that exposure to the full glare of the sun, causing dryness, on the one hand, and frequent soakings of water, on the other, are two extremes which are sure to result in injury to the plants in a young and tender state, leaving them an easy prey to the attacks of fungus, which causes what is usually termed damping off. W. S. Croydon. THE GLOOMIEST EVER. Winter gloom and darkness is a cli- matic feature always anticipated and dis- counted by glasshouse gardeners in northern latitudes, but the current season appears to have broken all records for sustained dreariness. The deficiency of average seasonal sunlight began in early autumn and, with the exception of a single week of brilliant weather in No- vember, there has been almost continual murkiness, depressing the vitality of growing plants to a most unusual degree, weakening blooms, causing them to come off-color, with lank and sappy stems, and sharply curtailing the output. Vegetable growers are having a par- ticularly trying time in getting cucum- ber and tomato blooms to set. In fact, the majority of blooms failed to advance even to the stage of pollination, but with- ered without opening. This shortage is reflected in higher quotations for glass- house products, but increased prices do not in every instance compensate for such light crops. The few clear days we have had between weeks of dullness found indoor plants so tender that especial care was needed in watering and ventilation to keep them from flagging. Modern greenhouse construction seeks a maximum of lighting surface, as we can well control heat and moisture, but must depend on natural conditions for light. Fairly successful experiments have been made from time to time with artificial lights to tide over the dreary season of short days and frequent storms. Electric illumination in the form of arc lights outside the glass and incandescent globes within were advocated some years ago, says the Kural New-Yorker, and the former used near Boston with a claim of commercial success by a practical green- house lettuce grower. More recent trials at Cornell Experiment Station show that acetylene affords a light more congenial to plant life, and there is promise that this means of illumination may economic- ally be used in the depths of "winter for glasshouse leaf and root crops, such as lettuce or radishes, though probably not for fruits or flowers. 952 The Weekly Florists' Review.

The double invoice system will not apply to 1907 bulb importations. Mail trade is somewhat behind last year to date, according to reports. It seems that no matter how short seed stocks may be in a general way, there are always lists of surpluses float- ing about. Cratz Bros,, one of the oldest clover seed concerns at Toledo, closed its doors February 11, The sum involved in the failure is not yet known. Will H. Dildine has charge of the wholesale department of James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N, Y, The firm is de- veloping this end of the business. It is said that, next to Burpee, the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, carries the largest stock and list of varieties of sweet peas to be found in this country. The 1907 catalogues devote increased space to poultry supplies, while with manj seed houses this department is now of sufl5cient importance to call for a special book. The death is reported of Mrs, Kurtz- weil, mother of Mathias Kurtzweil, pres- ident of the Iowa Seed Co,, Des Moines, She was 78 years of age and leaves her husband and one son. Advance orders for a general line of seeds on the pro-rata crop basis are con- siderably easier to book this season than ordinarily, and reports are that business along this line is flourishing. One of the good things for which the trade is indebted to the explorations of the Department of Agriculture is the MaUner-Kren horseradish, found in Bo- hemia several years ago by David Fair- child. A representative of D, M, Ferry & Co., Detroit, who has been traveling through Wisconsin on business for his firm, says that the people in that state are more prosperous than in any other state he has visited. It is reported that Huntington & Page, Indianapolis, would, were it possible to dispose of the catalogue and retail end of the business on satisfactory terms, confine themselves to and enlarge the grovdng and wholesale end. It is noticeable that the seed trade, is giving closer attention to the needs of the vegetable forcers, truckers and mar- ket gardeners who buy in bulk and leave the packet trade more or less to look after itself in the general scramble, Walter P, Stokes says that it has never been, nor will it be, his policy to compete for business on the matter of price. In the first general catalogue of Stokes' Seed Store it is stated: "The prices are such as will enable us to pay my grower an extra fee for taking that care of the growing stocks which is neces- sary to produce the best results. Under close competition, the price paid the grower has been cut in some cases to a point where it is impossible for him to give that care and attention in roguing and selecting which is absolutely essen- tial in producing best results, I am paying this extra price for extra care Florists' Flower Seeds^'ZX^i^ Now Ready Tuberous Rooted Begonias Giant Vlowered Per doz.

'' Most catalogue seed houses find it saves trouble to include carriage charges in the price of all stock quoted by the packet and pound. The Chas. H. Lilly Co., Seattle, Wash., has 100 acres in cabbages for 1907 seed crop and reports all the leading houses interested in Puget Sound cabbage seed. They do not meet European prices, but are able to grow at reasonable cost, one of the advantages being that the stock can be wintered in the field, 6 degrees of frost being the coldest recorded last winter. The seed is grown on contract with gardeners, from one to as high as six acres with each, and carefully rogued. A. .T. Milton, of the Lilly Co., is now visiting the trade in the east.

In the course of the last twelve months I have frequently come across sample growths of these new im- portations in England, and in all cases, the quality is far in advance of anything I have seen in my experience of Japan or Bermuda bulbs. The type is quite distinct and the bulbs absolutely free from disease — a deformed bloom is ab- solutely unknown. The flowers are per- haps suifiller than those from bulbs from Japan, but they are of very solid and thick texture, with a total absence of the thin, watery flowers seen on the eximium type, giving one more the impression of the giganteum type in the thickness of the petals. The stem, too, is very clean and sturdy, no canes or supports what- ever are needed; and what is perhaps of the greatest value, they are more floriferous. When the stock in the islands is worked up sufficiently large, the price will come at about half now paid to Japan. The islands are on the West Coast of Africa, in about the same latitude as the islands of Bermuda. They are possessions of the Portuguese, and as the Bermudas are to America, so the Azores are a health resort for Europeans. The labor is, of course, Portuguese, but some English and German labor is being imported. English speculators do not appear to be ahead of other countries, or even alongside them, in taking up the growing or hand- ling of longiflorums from these islands.

It will be a great pity and in fact a great loss to the English horticultural trade and the lilium im- porting trade in particular if this prom- ising and important source of supply is allowed to pass into the hands of the G«rman and American merchants and importers. The trade would welcome a purely English concern that imported and supplied these bulbs, and my object in referring at this length to this mat- ter is in the hopes that the enterprise of our home firms may at least take a share of the valuable trade in bulbs from this new source, and not allow foreign competitors to have it entirely in their own hands, with a consequent great loss to the English dealers and growers.

He claims most dealers are afraid of a repe- tition of last year's experience, and say they will only buy from hand to mouth. Stocks light, and he is positive that few of the large dealers have any quantity of foreign seed in transit, so we are liable to get any old kind of a market from this on. The demand is going to be a large one and whether there is enough foreign seed coming to fill vacan- cies is a question. ' ' CLOVER AND GRASS REPORT. The London wholesale trade has issued the annual report on grass and clover seeds. English red clover is said to be the largest crop on record, the whole be- ing harvested in fine condition, but, as predicted in my previous notes to the Review, prices are maintained at a satis- factory level. The exceptionally fine quality has tempted much foreign trade and immense quantities are being shipped to pratically every market in Europe. Practically all the European producing centers are a short crop.

In rye grasses and natural grasses the crops, taking the whole of Europe, may be said to be slightly below the aver- age in quantity and already some natural grasses are ruling higher than last year, timothy included, which apears to be in short supply on both continents. Sain- foin and lucerne both are in full supply, of above average quality. Prices so far are lower than usual, but as supplies in America are almost nil prices may con- siderably improve. Prices are already ruling considerably higher on the conti- nent than in England. Taken as a whole, great care will need to be exercised in making wholesale pur- chases this season, of either clovers or grasses. B. J. DUTCH BULB PROSPECTS. The advance guard of the Dutch bulb travelers has already landed in America, and probably an increased number will visit the United States this year. It is perhaps a little difficult to forecast the probable prices, during deliveries of 1907, for all classes of Dutch bulbs, but for two principal items, tulips and daffo- dils, I think it is fairly safe to predict fairly high prices, probably fully as high as prevailed during May and June of last year, but yet not so high as the prices obtained for sales made during the time of shipment. The reasons which lead me to these conclusions are several, chief among them being the fact that all sorts of daffodils and narcissi as cut bloom are this season realizing fair prices in all parts of the world. A much reduced acreage was planted last autumn in Holland for stock purposes.

This class of bulb is also increasing in demand in other countries. It is also significant that daffodils did not figure to any ex- tent in the purchases made by the new growers who last year established them- selves in the north of Holland. Proba- bly they will be required by these grow- ers next season. Tulips, on account of large export de- mand of last year and the large quan- tity of bulbs used for stock in the new cultures mentioned above, were planted in decreased quantities, against a proba- bly increased demand for both foreign and bedding sorts, especially the former, from all over the world, and particularly in England.

Business remains about the same. A few dull days toward the end of the week tended to pile up stock. Carna- tions, especially Enchantress and Law- son, are plentiful, but the price is still up. White carnations are short. Koses are scarce; in fact, it is almost impos- sible to get grades for work. Bulbous stock is arriving in large quantities. Vio- lets sell fairly well. Club Meeting. A carnation exhibit held in connection with the Florists' Club's last meeting brought forth an unusually large attend- ance. Treasurer Walter Taepke was kept busy making out receipts for dues. Lewis F. Tossey was elected a member. Murry G. Patterson's application for membership was received.

When primulas are grown in a high temperature there is not much danger of harming them in watering, unless the wielder of the water-can is more than usually careless. In a cooler structure the case is different, and even a careful man may do damage with the water-pot unless he brings a little intelligence to bear. The roots of Chinese primulas are extremely fine, and even when the plants are in full flower, rarely seem to have taken complete possession of the soil. For this reason the soil is easily DAHLIAS Now !■ the time to place year order for Bolbi wlilch will insure your Ketting named varieties in any quantity; delivery to be made now or early ■prlnc DAVID HERBERT ft SON SneceBSorB to L.

The Market There was a marked improvement in trade last week. Everything sold out clean and prices were firm. Plenty of funeral work caused heavy demand on light-colored stock. Violets also moved better. Prices ruled about the same as the previous week, but none were left over. Bulb stock is coming in more freely, but the general shortage keeps it moving at good figures. The supply of green goods is shortening up. Smilax is scarce, also Sprengeri, but plenty of plumosus is on the market. Valley is plentiful. There is some stevia still coming in, but the quality is on the wane. Callas are coming in more freely, but the supply is still unequal to the demand. Vartotti Notes.

It was an able paper, covering all points on landscape work, and was much ap- preciated. Nick Zweifel is still on the sick list, but is on the road to recovery.

Saunders is decidedly the most perfect Oanna of this type that has been introduced. 50c each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. OTTAWA Is a strong grower, very robust and 5 to 6 feet high. The flowers are large and beau- tifully formed, color is carmine with tints of old rose and deep coral, add to this the silken sheen and you can imagine the eflect a few plants will produce. NOTE— We had this Canna on trial among the Canadian experimental stations last summer and this is the oilieial report of their expert: "Quite distinct and one of the most beautiful shades of color I ever saw in Oannas. Of 70 massed in one bed during the past season, this was the most floriferous in the collection, coming into bloom early and con- tinuing until cut down by frost, as many as 13 expanded beads of blooms being counted at one time on a plant, and not a poor one among them, all being of immense size." 50c each; $5.00 per doz.; $85.00 per 100. NEW YORK Has the Orchid type of flower. They have much more substance than the flowers of the other varieties of this class, and will stand the hot sunshine as well as the toughest varieties of cannas. The color is a solid rich scarlet covered with a beautiful glowing sheen. The flowers are large and contrast beautifully with the dark bronze foliage. 50c each; $5.00 per doz.: $35.00 per 100.

Los Angeles, Cal. — The flower ven- ders have been debarred from selling on the street, pending a decision of the city attorney as to what class of licensees they belong in. SAN FRANOSGO. The Market. Bright, warm weather is making every- thing extremely plentiful in the cut flower line. Violets are iji their glory and tlie price has fallen twenty-five per cent during the last week, with an im- provement in the quality of the blooms. Carnations, too, are beginning to show the advent of more desirable weather by richness of color and stiffness of stem. Boses are scarce yet and it will be a month at least before they will be in corresponding supply. The greatest increase, however, is no- ticeable in bulbous stock. Narcissi, of the white variety, can be had at $5 per thousand and daffodils, both single and double, from $6 to $7.50 per thousand. Freesias are well to the front and cost the stores from $1 to $2.50 per hundred. Boman hyacinths are not in as good de- mand as in former years and valley moves slowly. A few early tulips are seen and there is a good demand for cut cyclamen, especially of the white varie- ties. The new crop of adiantum will shortly be fit to cut and it will be a great relief to the retailers, as they have had much trouble for the last three months in get- ting sufficient green stuff with which to carry on business. The state of trade is fair. Funeral work has been heavy with a large pro- portion of the dealers, with a good sprinkling of other lines of trade. Various Notes. John Jack, recently gardener to Lieu- tenant Winship, at Koss station, has ac- cepted a position with the Sharon estate at Menlo Park. William George, of Elmhurst, is cut- ting some of the finest daffodils ever sent to the San Francisco market. The soil in his neighborhood seems to be par- ticularly adapted to their growth. W. J. Graham, the well-known land- scape gardener, of East Oakland, has em- barked in the business of growing early cucumbers under glass. He has one large house planted and will shortly commence the erection of another. Carl Swanson, for many years fore- man for the Cox Seed Co., at Glen Echo, has branched out in landscape garden- ing on his own account. D. J. Briggs, for many years inter- ested in the nursery business in southern California, will locate permanently in the vicinity of San Francisco in the near future. John McLaren estimates that it will take $175,000 to repair the various city parks and replant the shrubbery and grass plots, as well as at least two years of time, before they are in as good con- dition as they were before the advent of the camping of the refugees. Alexander Frey has returned to the business and has taken a position with Gill's Floral Depot, Oakland. The perplexing question of fuel, which has been a source of considerable anxiety Choice Asparaps Plumosus Seed will not be as plentiful aB anticipated earlier in the season and we are compelled to revise our prices to meet the chan«red conditions.

He will plat a 3-aere tract in the midst of the park, which will be planted to flowers with artistically aranged walks. The garden will lie on a knoll, with the highest point in the center. The crown- ing feature will be the emblem of the society complete in every detail, letter- ing, color scheme and all. The motto, "B. Y. P. U., Loyalty to Christ," and the stars and stripes of the United States shield, which is a part of the emblem, will be shown. The emblem will be 12x12, standing upright.

Broadway, LOS ANGBLES, CAI<. Mention Tlie Review when yon write. anything that is suitable for such a pur- pose is worthy of comment. Twenty- five years ago no one thought his plant- ing was complete without a Monterey cypress hedge around it, and the fact that it could be kept at any desired height for any length of time argued much in its favor. About ten years ago many of our finest hedges were attacked by a small gieen aphis and thousands of trees died in a short time. They did not usually attack all the trees in a hedge, but picked out a few here and there, and these speedily died, leaving ugly gaps to be filled in with smaller trees. This blight continued here for several seasons and eventually disap- peared, and has not been seen for at least five years. Many hedges were cut out and burned up and some other ever- green planted, or the hedge proposition dispensed with entirely. There is now, however, a decided re- action in favor of hedges of some sort and, while the native Monterey cypress is not planted as freely as in former years, it still finds some favor for that purpose. Pittosporums are being largely used, and of the various varieties suitable P. Eugenoides and P. tenuifoUum seem to be the most valuable. The former sort has a large lemon-colored leaf, but does not make as dense a hedge as the other kind. Both grow readily from seed and are easily transplanted, and when once established they stand pruning very well. They can be kept at a reasonable height with but little trouble. The Laurus Tinus is also a good tree for this purpose, and, in addition, is covered with masses of white blossoms continuously. California privet is not much used here, although it makes a Fkbbuart 14, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* n\ BEACON CARNATION Do you want to kpep the ''Blues" and grow Beacon?

The blooms, under ordinary culture, average :^ to 8 inches in diameter, the guard petals are broad, well arranged and of good substance, the center loosely arranged and not too full.

Calyx long and seldom bursts (less than four per cent last winter.) It propagates easily. The plant is a vigorous, healthy grower, of ideal habit, and a most profuse bloomer.

Rose hedges are also in great favor at present and many thousands of Agrip- pina, Hermosa, Cecil Brunner, Gloire Lyonnaise and Duchess de Brabant will be planted this season. These are really the best roses for this purpose, as they need no support, have plenty of foliage, are constant bloomers and stand trim- ming well. The Agrippina is by far the most showy rose to use for this pur- pose, and a hedge of it is one of the most beautiful objects imaginable. Both dwarf and tree box are in favor again and are being largely used for low hedges and borders. They have an old-fashioned air about them, but there is nothing that will take their places when a low effect is desired. G. Oakland, Cal. — G.

CINaNNATL The Market After a long and weary wait we are having what we ought to have had long ago; that is, fine, bright winter weather. After the long period of cloudy weather th« plants were in such a condition that the sun caused them to wilt right down, and so it had a bad effect for a while, but they rapidly recovered and now a marked improvement can be seen, espe- cially in the carnations, which will soon be blooming in fine style. It will be some time before the roses will be doing what they ought to do. They bloomed so strong in the late fall and early winter that it is only reasonable for them to have a rest now. The condition of the market is much the same as last reported. The shortage is still with us, but toward the end of last week the demand decreased quite a good deal. The deinand for bulbous flowers has been fine, owing to the scarc- ity of other stock, and the price obtained for them has been satisfactory. George & Allan, who grow large quantities of bulbous stock, have been reaping a har- vest. Some fkie Dutch hyacinths are coming in and they sell well at $4 to $6. They are in all colors. Society Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the Florists' Society, which was called for February 9, proved to be a disappoint- ment, as not enough members responded to make a quorum until so late that a meeting was not held. There is plenty of enthusiasm for hav- ing a good big flower show in this city next autumn. Every one seems to think that this city is ripe for such a show. They think that there would be no trou- ble to get the kind of stock* to make the show. But when you begin to talk of raising the money to back up the show, there is nothing doing. The financial part of a flower show is where the trou- ble comes in. So,- from the present out- look, the chances of there being a flower show in this city next autumn are slim. No one is willing to go ahead without the backing and the chances of getting that are small. C. J. Ohmer. Kankakee, III. — A. H. Burt has been seriously ill with pneumonia since Janu- ary 29.

GRAND RAPIDS. With several bright days lately, flow- ers have opened wonderfully, but there is still a scarcity that will take some time to" catch up. Funerals have been numerous, there having been fifty deaths here in the last eight days. White flow- ers of all kinds, especially shorts for funeral work, have been in great demand and the market is kept pretty clear. The Florists ' Club met Thursday, Jan- uary 31, and elected officers and made arrangements to meet in the Board of Trade rooms every first and third Mon- day of each month. Henry Smith was elected president and William Freling secretary. The committees on bylaws and prizes made their reports, which for the most part were accepted, and from the present outlook Grand Eapids will again be on the map with a large and flourish- ing florists' club. G. F. Crabb, of the Crabb & Hunter Floral Co., has been sick with pneumonia for the last ten days, but has passed the critical point and * will be around again in a couple of weeks. A number of Holland bulb men were in town this week, but report few orders, as the territory had been pretty well can- vassed early in the year. A. F. C. PAPER WHITE NARCISSI. The first week in December I planted some Paper Whites in flats and placed them outside, as usual. On examining them today I found that they had made, not more than two inches of roots, many of which were rotted at the ends. They seemed to have taken hold of the soil only a little. The tops were one-half inch to one inch long. The soil was moist enougli. Now I wish to ask, would it be wise to attempt to force these for Easter? C. E. The mistake made was in placing these narcissi outdoors at all. Had they been placed under a bench in the greenhouse and darkened somewhat, or in a cellar, they would have been all right. Paper Whites are more delicate than the trum- pet section of the narcissus family and the fact that few roots were made and that these were rotting would indicate that they have been too cold. It will hardly pay to attempt to force bulbs with practically no roots. Another seapon, after boxing place under a bench or in some place with a minimum tem- Twin City Pottery Mfg. Co.

Head, superintendent of the Plant estate at New London, Conn., has kept a force of men and teams busy re- moving large specimen trees from Nor- wich, twenty miles distant. Each tree requires a team of eight horses to draw it. At the time of my visit a splendid purple beech, measuring fifty feet in height and three feet in diameter, was being planted. E. W. Clark, of New London, says he cannot remember when roses were so scarce and poor as they have been of late. Carnations are fair. Business is brisk. A big job at the opening of a handsome Elks' room called for all the roses he coul^ pick up. Felix G. Mense, of Glen Cove, N. Y,, met with a serious accident when re- turning from the New York Florists' Club with the specimen plant of a dwarf and compact form of Salvia splendens, which makes a fine pot plant and can be brought into bloom at Christmas. With a certificate of merit in his pocket, Mr. Mense was alighting from the train, which jolted, causing him to let the plant fall, breaking the bones of two Hoes of his right foot, which will make him a cripple for some time. Ira G. Marvin has built a handsome store adjoining the opera house, at Wilkes Barre, Pa. Being forced to vacate his old stand he had an opportunity to build and has a thoroughly up-to-date place. Eldridge & Co., who formerly oc- cupied this location, moved into a con- venient place on Main street. W. L. Carr, at Kingston, Pa., is pre- paring a big line of bedding stock, which is a feature with him. George R. Clark & Co., of Scranton, Pa., do as big business as ever at their store, buying all stock from out of town. For years they have had the seed trade of the town and, being a poultry fan- cier, Mr. Clark has added a line of poul- try supplies.

I have five greenhouses side by side, as follows: One 14x72 and ten feet to the ridge; one 14x68 and five feet high; one 14x72 and five feet high; one 14x54 and five feet high, and one 24x80 and ten feet to the ridge. I intend to build another along the ends of these, about 16x130 and ten feet to the ridge. Each of the five houses has a separate heating system. I would like to know what horse-power boiler would be required to heat all six houses in New York climate. There would be about 9,000 feet of glass. No glass in the sides or ends. I have four houses piped with 4-inch, the other with l^/^-inch and 2-inch. Will that make any diiference in the working of the new system? What size of flows and returns will I need in the long house, as this will be the feeder for the others? I plan to locate the boiler at one end of the new, long house and hence at one corner of the range. D. C. H. A horizontal tubulaf boiler rated at forty horse-power will have sufficient capacity to carry the plant in question if it can be located so that the maxi- mum length of the longest flow pipe does not exceed 100 or 125 feet. When you exceed these lengths it frequently be- comes necessary to install circulating pumps. I would not attempt to heat this plant by hot water on a gravity system with the boiler located as pro- posed. It will be more difficult to gov- ern the rate of the circulation in the different houses when piped with various sizes of pipe than when all are treated alike. You are likely to meet many dis- couragements in attempting to remodel this range on a strictly hot water basis. If it will not entail too much loss, dispense with -the 4-inch pipe, replace it by IV^-inch and place the boiler in the middle of the proposed cover house and run a combination system, hot water in mild weather and steam in cold weather. L. C. C. FOUR-INCHPIPE. We propose to erect an east and west house 30x200 and thirteen feet to the ridge, for pot plants and cut flowers. Which would be the best system of pip- ing, sixteen runs of pipe to 100 feet of house? We intend to put a glass parti- IMPKOVED Greenhouse Boiler. 51 ERIK STRKKT, CHICAGO Boilers made of steel boiler plate ; shell, fire-box sheets and heads of steel ; water space all around, front, sides and back.

We intend to put the same amount of pipe in each part, but have the west house valved so we can run it cool when necessary. The boiler-rooni and potting-shed will be placed on the north side at the cen- ter of the house, so we can run pipe 100 feet each way. The two outside benches will be three feet wide, the three cen- ter benches five feet four inches wide and the walks twenty inches wide. Un- der each side bench will be two 4-inch flows and three 4-inch returns; the next two outside middle benches, each one 4-inch flow and two 4-inch returns, and no pipe under the center bench. Another system would be to use 3%- inch pipes for returns, instead of 4-inch, with the same number of runs. How many pipes should be valved to keep the cool house at a temperature of 40 degrees? The warm house we wish to run from 60 to 70 degrees in Wis- consin climate. The coal cellar will be 12x30, running the same as the green- house, on the north side. We propose to run the boiler back under the green- house as far as we can, so as to have No bothersome headers on top and sides. No thousand and one con- □ectloas to be made. FLORENCE HEATERS are tlie easiest known boilers to erect and operate. Bum any kind of fuel. New 1907 catalogue 'will be sent on request. COLUMBIA HEATER CO., Belvldere, III.

The boiler will be north and south and feed from the north. This will give us more room to clean the flues and more coal room; and in running the pipes those on the east side of the boiler can furnish the east house and those on the west side the west house. We will have the Kroeschell boiler No. 12. We wish to build another house 30x200 on to this on the south side in a year or two. Would the pipes run- ning straight ahead to furnish the next house interfere with each other? W. T, I am greatly interested in the plan you propose for heating your green- house. If I count correctly you are planning to use sixteen 4-inch pipes to heat these houses, equal to 1,600 lineal feet of 4-inch pipe. With water at 180 degrees you should be able to main- tain 60 to 70 degrees of temperature in these houses, with twelve runs of 4-inch pipe. But why use 4-inch pipe? Twen- ty runs of 2-inch pipe will give you a . r.-/l . ■ { FSBBUABY 14, 1907.

If you arrange the boiler as sug- gested, see that it is properly enclosed, so as to cut off connection with the plant houses. Such an arrangement is seldom advisable, because of the danger of gas from the boiler-room getting in the houses. It is best to have the boiler- room completely cut oflE from the houses. li. C. C. PIPING FOR STEAM. We have seven houses 18x175 to 20x175, side by side. The one syetem furnishes steam heat for the seven houses, store and residence. The boilers are at one corner of the block of houses. We figured on running the main flow overhead along the ends of the houses and the main return below; the flows to be overhead and returns under the benches. Our flows and returns are all 2-inch pipe. How many 2-inch returns will a 2-inch flow carry? Should check- valves be put in all returns before they enter the main return and should there be one or two valves on these lines? We thought of having the highest point of the main flow at the farther end slant- ing toward the boiler, with the bleeder at the end connecting with the return. What size should the main flow be on leaving the boiler; also the return upon entering the boiler? We have two forty- two horse-power tubular boilers set same height. Is it better to work the boilers together or separately? W. & S. Each of your houses should be pro- vided with a 3-inch riser and, if 2-inch pipe is used for returns, at least nine should be installed to insure 60 degrees in cold weather. The yoke for the boil- ers and the main flow should be 6-inch pipe. Each boiler should be tapped with a 4-inc'h outlet. The 6-inch flow should cover the ends of the first four houses; the remaining three can be carried by a 4-inch flow. The main return, if it lias a good fall and is well above the water line in the boilers, need be only 2-inch. If it is below the water line of the boilers and each return from the houses is sealed by it, it had better be 4-incli. The highest point in the main flow should be immediately over the Iwilers if possible. All water of condensation should be carried with the flow of tlie steam instead of against it, as Avould be the case with the main flow sloping towards the boiler with the high point at the far end. Install the bleeder with swing joints at the end of the riser and the return, at which point these two pipes should be closer together than at any other point. Put swing check-valves on the return of each house before it enters the main return, and a globe valve in addition. Checks are not to be de- pended upon to hold steam; they usually work well enough when there is water in the returns, but globe or gate valves should be installed in both flow and return to each house to insure complete control.

The only redeeming feature of the weather we have experienced lately was that which enabled a crop of good ice to be harvested; otherwise it has been de- pressing in the extreme. Florists have had little business of late to help to keep them warm and in good humor, and the diflSculty in getting good material for the little business there was did not mend matters either. In spite of the storm we were visited last week by a number of gentlemen rep- resenting large seed houses and allied concerns, among whom were: Thomas Grey, Boston; J. E.

If SUPERB... DAtlLIA>3 Are KAOwn From MAINE fo CALIFORNIA ■I. We have a special Dahlia farm in Connecticut for the purpose of growing bulbs. This farm is under the supervision of a grower, who has had experience with this flower for the last 25 years. We guarantee our bulbs to be true to name and are willing to replace same if they are found otherwise. We are offering this year nearly 250 varieties of Cactus Dahlias alone, not mentioning the other- classes. We extend a cordial invitation to every florist in the country during the Summer and Fall to visit our Exhibition Earm of Daiilias occupying two acres, right in the heart of the old historic town of Marblehead, Mass., where we grow fully 1000 varieties of Dahlias for exhibition purposes only. Every novelty of account either European or American may be seen. We do not Grow Daiilias for Quantity but for Quality The demand for Dahlias as cut flowers has been steadily on the increase and some of the choicer varieties of Cactus Dahlias are prized as highly as any of the choicest varieties of Roses. Our complete list of varieties with illustrations and descriptions covers 12 pages in '^Rawson's Garden Manual for 1907'' a catalogue, which every florist should possess. It represents the highest art of "American Catalogue Printing," as it is completely new from page 1 to 144. We offer this season seven new American seedlings of Dahlias, which created a sensation wherever shown last Fall and which the FLORISTS' REVIEW has considered important enough to mention at length in this issue.

The second annual convention of the Illinois State Florists' Association con- vened at Bloomington, Tuesday, Febru- ary 19- The attendance was several times that of the first convention at Peoria a year ago, and the trade exhibit was much larger and more diversified. The state society seems to have started upon a long and prosperous career. The address of welcome was delivered by H. H. Green and responded to by W. N. Eudd. President J. F. Ammann de- livered an address outlining the work already performed by the society and directing attention to the many oppor- tunities for usefulness which lie in its path. Secretary Hasselbring reported an excellent membership list, covering all sections of the state. Papers were read as follows: "The Florists and the Experiment Station," A. C. Beal, Champaign ; ' ' Carnations at the Toronto Show," W. N. Eudd, Mt. Greenwood; "The Effect of Shade on Plants, ' ' H. Hasselbring, Chicago ; ' ' The Development of Floriculture in Illinois, ' ' Prof. J. C. Blair, Champaign. Officers Elected. The following officers were elected : President, Albert T. Hey, Springfield; vice-presidents, J. F. Ammann, Edwards- ville; Wilbur Gullett, Lincoln; Charles Loveridge, Peoria; William Heinl, Jack- sonville; August Poehlmann, Morton Grove; H. Hasselbring, Chicago; A. S. Halstead, Belleville; secretary, A. C. Beal, Champaign; treasurer, George A. Kuhl, Pekin. Springfield was selected as the place of meeting in 1908. Eesolutions' were adopted expressive of the interest the society takes in the legislation now pending looking to the establishing of greenhouses for experi- mental purposes at the State University and the great value such an institution will be to the trade in the study of plant-growers' problems beyond the re- sources of the individual. Tfie Banquet. The Bloomington Florists' Club had made large preparations for the enter- tainment of the state association and ten- dered the visitors a banquet on the even- ing of February 19, at which an ex- cellent menu was served. Following the discussion of viands, W. N. Eudd was introduced as toastmaster. The toasts and those who responded were as follows: "The State Society and Its Object," Prof. A. C. Beal; "Our Hoosier Neighbors," J. D. Carmody; "The S. A. F. and Florists' Clubs," P. J. Hauswirth; "The Sunny Side of the Florists' Business," W. J. Gullett; "Why Isn't a Florist as Good as Any Other Man?" H. Hasselbring. Prof. C. J. Blair spoke for the state college of agriculture and outlined what is hoped to do in the way of solving floricultural problems in the event of the state legislature making the anticipated appropriation for greenhouses in which to conduct the work. J. F. Ammann spoke for the state society, and George Asmus, of Chicago, discussed the benefits which accrued from our periodical ex- hibitions. Several others spoke briefly. Tliose Present.

First Annual Convention. The first annual convention of the So- ciety of Southern riorists was held at New Orleans February 14 to 16 and was a most pronounced success so far as the interesting nature of the proceed- ings was concerned, but in point of at- tendance and extent of trade display did not come up to tne expectations of the promoters. President E. C. Berck- mans was prevented from being present and the meetings were presided over by C. W. Eichling, of New Orleans, vice- president of the society, who acquitted himself most creditably. The report of the secretary showed a membership of fifty-six aiii the treasurer's report showed a balance of $104.90. Essays were read as follows: "Chrys- anthemum Growing in the South," F. P. Davis, Mobile, Ala.; "Profitable Orchids for the Florist," J. A. New- sham, New Orleans; "Packing, Ship- ping and Express Rates," C. W. Eich- ling, New Orleans; "Eoses Under Glass in the South," E. Lockerbie, New Or- leans; "What the South Can Grow for Northern Markets," B. M. Wichers, Gretna, La.; "Laws and Eegulations Controlling Spread of Insects and Plant Diseases," A. A. Eosenfeld; "Experi- ence with Carnations in Alabama," W. B. Patterson, Jr., Montgomery, Ala. ; "Gardening in the Public Schools," Prof. Caldwell, Nachitoches, La. The presentation of each paper was followed by interesting discussion, in each the New Orleans craft participated and from which Inany valuable points of personal experience were extracted. Among those who figured in the debates were J. A. Newsham, E. Lockerbie, C. W. Eichling, Joseph Steckler, P. Abele, E. Baker, A. Alost, W. B. Patterson, Jr., M. M. de Lapouyade, P. A. Chopin, B. M. Wichers, Harry Papworth, C. R. Panter, W. L. Kroeschell and others. It was the consensus of opinion that none of our trade organizations has ever had a more valuable set of papers, nor has it ever had more interesting and instructive discussions. The officers elected were as follows: President, J. A. Newsham, New Orleans; vice-president, F. P. Davis, Mobile, Ala.; second vice-president, W. B. Pat- terson, Montgomery, Ala.; treasurer, Jo- seph Steckler, New Orleans; secretary, Paul Abele, New Orleans; executive committee, E. H. E. Green, Dallas, Tex.; Edw. Baker, C. E. Panter and E. Lock- erbie, New Orleans. The selection of the place of next meeting was left in the hands of the executive committee. A part of the closing session was de- voted to a discussion as to how greater interest could be aroused among the members outside of New Orleans. It was the general opinion that an excel- lent start hag been made in the first year of the society's existence and that the prospect is good for a much better attendance at the second annual meet- ing. Among those present from out of town were W. L. Kroeschell, of Kroes- chell Bros. Co., Chicago; George O. Stoddard, of Caldwell, the Woodsman Decorating Co., Evergreen Ala.; C. D. Otis, Lake Charles, I^.; M. J. Galvin, Uniontown, Pa.; W. B. Patterson, Jr., Montgomery, Ala. The trade exhibition was largely con- fined to the displays of stock by New Orleans growers, but many of these were of much interest. M. Cook & Son made a fine display of sweet olive raised from layers, exhibiting plants all the way from 4-inch pots to specimens six feet tall. B. M. Wichers, Gretna, La., had a fine display of ferns of the nephrolepis varieties. C. W. Eichling staged plants of Adiantum hybridum and A. magnificum. J. A. Newsham had two groups of decorative plants, including a pair of Cocos Australis val- ued at $150. He also had fine azaleas and rhododendrons. Abele Bros, staged a large quantity of flowering plants. Chas. Eble showed good stock of palms and ferns. The J. Steckler Seed Co. had a splendid display of vegetables, grown from their seeds. S. Nosacka & Son, New Orleans, showed wire frames. The Avenue Floral Co. had an exhibit of Target brand scale destroyer. Kroes- chell Bros. Co., Chicago, had one of its boilers on exhibition. The Paducab Pottery Co., Paducah, Ky., exhibited a general line of its wares. Saturday evening seventy members of the New Orleans Horticultural Society and guests sat at a banquet at Fabach- er's restaurant. An excellent menu was partaken of, after which President Otto Abele introduced C. E. Panter as toast- master. He filled the post most accept- ably. J. C. Waldo, assistant district attorney, was the speaker of the even- ing, and a number of those in the trade,, including the visitors, were called on for remarks.. The banquet was one of the most successful features of the con- vention. r ^•^V^k^^-w.

It may seem a long cry ahead to that fes- tival, but if nice plants in 5-inch or 6-inch pots are desired the seed should be sown not later than the middle of March. Of course, flowering plants may be secured from later sowings, but the seed will germinate better now, before the sun has gained too much power. It never pays to purchase cheap mixtures of any of the choice greenhouse flower- ing plants. Buy the best strain procur- able and, if you have critical customers, get it in separate colors. For a Christ- mas color nothing is better than Crim- son King, introduced some years ago by Sutton, the well-known English seed house. Soft pink, deep pink, pure white and blue are all good selling colors. The Duchess has jumped into great favor. It has a pure white flower of large size, with a zone of rosy carmine surrounding a clear yellow eye.' The newer Primula stellata, commonly known as star primroses, have been much improved the last two or three years. The flowers are smaller than in the case of P. Sinensis, but are freely produced, on long stems thrown well above the foliage. For decorative effect in rooms or for table centerpieces these are much superior to the older type. These are now procurable in about as many shades of color as the older type, but the varie- ties White Queen Star and Pink Star make the best plants. The blues and scarlets do not grow so vigorously. In sowing primulas, pans or flats should be used, well drained, some coarse moss over the drainage, followed by finely sifted soil composed of two- thirds leaf-mold, one-third loam and a good dash of sand and powdered char- coal. Water the pans or flats after level- ing them, drop the seeds evenly over the surface, sift a little compost over them, just enough to cover the seeds; water lightly, then cover with sheets of glass and lay paper over that until germina- tion occurs, when they should be gradu- ally inured to air and Ught. In a moist house with a night temperature of 60 degrees the seeds will germinate in from two to three weeks. Cinerarias. Cinerarias love a cool house, 45 de- grees at night being high enough. They are now growing rapidly and if any need a shift ere flowering let them have it right away. A compost of two-thirda turfy loam, one-third dried cow manure and a little fine bone may be used for this final potting. Green aphis is partial to them and tobacco stems should be spread among them once a fortnight. Similar treatment will suit calceolarias. A spraying overhead early in the after- noon will be found beneficial. Bulbous Stock. We are now getting more sunshine and bulbous stock comes on much more rapidly. It is yet too early to bring in narcissi and tulips for Easter. From March 5 to 10, with ordinary winter conditions, should be suflficiently early. It will now be unnecessary to place the flats and pans in dark places to draw up the stems, as they will have made a good growth by this time and the extra sun heat will help to lengthen them. It will be well to allow such narcissi as Horsfieldii, Emperor, Sir Watkin and any of the Leedsi type a few days longer than such well-known forcing kinds as Golden Spur, Trumpet Major and dou- ble Von Sion. The early form of pheas- ant's eye, N. poeticus omatus, is a most useful Easter flower and should be brought in right away, as it comes on rather more slowly. Do not subject any of these bulbs to a higher tempera- ture than 50 to 52 degrees at night and they will be in ample time. Such popular double tulips as Murillo, Rex Eubrorum, La Candeur and Tour- nesol will be found to need a little longer time for development than La Reine, Yellow Prince, Keizerskroon, the Potte- bakker's, Cottage Maid and other sin- gles. Hyacinths should be coming along within three weeks without undue forc- ing. It is always diflBcult to tell pre- cisely the time needed to get these things in season.

If warm and bright, they may need retarding in a cold house for a few days. Better to be a little too early, however, than too late and try hard forcing at the last. r Seed Sowing. It will now be necessary to sow quite a number of seeds. The proper compost for these has been so many times de- scribed that it seems needless to say more about it. Briefly told, leaf-mold with a little loam and sand is the best medium for seed sowing. Fresh manure and heavy loams should not be used. See that all flats, pots or pans are well drained with broken pots or coarse ashes. Always finely screen the soil on which the seed is to be sown and press with a piece of light board to make level. For pots or pans one or two round pieces should be procured, or stiff cardboard will answer. In the case of all fine seeds, like gloxinias, begonias, lobelias, etc., the seed needs no covering. It should be sown on the surface, after the soil has been watered, and in the case of larger seeds care should be taken to cover them thinly but evenly. Great care ought to be taken not to allow them to become dry after sowing. Do not on any ac- count use the hose over them, but a watering can with a fine rose attached. If space is precious you can, after water- ing, place several flats one over the other, being always careful to uncover them as soon as the seeds are seen to be germinating. The following seeds can be sown now: Asters, early varieties like Comet and Queen of Earlies; ten weeks' stock, ver- bena, Phlox Drummondi, Salvia splen- dens, Grevillea robusta, a useful decora- tive foliage plant; Dracaena Australis and congesta, petunias, fibrous-rooted and tuberous begonias, heliotropes, an- tirrhinum, pentstemon, ageratum, single annual hollyhocks, vinca and dianthus. It is too early yet to sow zinnias, ricinus (caster oil plant), Cobsea scandens, Nicotiana Sanderse or a£Snis and moon- flowers. Smilax and Asparagus plumosus nanus will now germinate freely in a warm house. Propagation. From now on the cutting bench should be well filled. In addition to coleus and alternanthera referred to last week, cut- tings should be gotten in of achyranthes, lemon verbena, fuchsias, Hydrangea Otaksa, heliotrope, lantana and other plants there will be a call for later. Probably there are some chryanthemums you wish you had more of. Get some cuttings of these in right away. You will be able to propagate from these again long before you need to take cut- tings for bench culture unless you are a grower of specimen blooms. We need hardly say that no sunshine should fall on the cutting bench. An hour's sun on an unprotected bench will nearly ruin it. Also be careful to water quite freely until stock is rooted, then keep a little drier until potted or boxed. Never al- low cuttings to remain any longer than necessary in the bench after they are rooted. They only become hard and stunted. <^^<#JW>.<#^<#^Wi<#^^<^^'^^'^Jw.'^j^<^Jw>.'»=n.'^^<»j>».<^ia'^^'^^'*^'»^i THE RETAIL FLORIST ^te^ \fc»> ^dt^ -^f^) % ^Mf»>>U^»%^tfe»>^fcfe»>-^r»>^U^>^Mr»>%fe»>^lfc»>^tfe»>'^^ PROFITABLE ADVERTISING. The Use of Newspapers. Every progressive retail florist is in- terested in how others in his line have increased business and the method em- ployed by Schaefer's, Inc., Newburgh, N. Y., will appeal to many similarly situated. Schaefer's have a range of twenty-five houses averaging twenty feet by 150 teet and grow a general line of cut flowers, bedding plants, palms, etc., selling their product at retail from their own store. There are also four other florists in their city with a combined capacity about equal to theirs. G. F. Chadborn, treasurer of the company, de- scribes the situation as follows: "In former years we were obliged to ship more or less of our product to the wholesale commission men in New York and elsewhere, the returns for which were not always just as satisfactory as desired, for we always had stock to sell when the market was well supplied and nothing to spare when the market was bare. About three years ago we con- ceived the idea of pushing our local re- tail trade in an endeavor to dispose of more stock at retail prices, leaving less to ship away at wholesale. This looked feasible to us as Newburgh is a city of 2.5,000 inhabitants, is located on the banks of the Hudson river sixty miles from New York city, and has an excel- lent class of people. 1004 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Febkuaby 21, 1907. * * We Imd previously used only a 2- inch single column space in one paper (we have four), but decided to try a larger space and instead of using the usual card, running the same from year to year without change, to use some up- to-date matter, display it attractively and change it weekly. We accordingly enlarged our space to three inches double column, inserting it in the two papers having the largest circulation. We then arranged with a young man here, who had but recently taken up advertisement writing as a business, to write up and lay out our stuff for us for a period of six months on trial. The sucje^ss of the scheme was apparent almos^immediately, as we began to re- ceive inquiries and orders at once for such plants, flowers, etc., as we specially mentioned in the advertisement. There is hardly a week now but somebody mentions having read our advertisement, remarking as to its attractiveness, etc. "We are now selling at retail nearly everything we grow and at a very satis- factory advance as to final balancing of our profit and loss account over the old of mercantile business. In addition to doing our work our man is writing ads for a number of florists in other places, having made a sort of specialty of flor- ists' advertising through what he terms The Florists' Advertising Club, which enables retail florists throughout the United States to obtain copy and cuts for attractive and profitable advertise- ments at a minimum cost." A WOMAN'S ENTERPRISE. A great many women make better than a living in the flower business and are entitled to due credit for their efforts. Mrs. E. A. Anderson, whose store at 14 Colorado avenue, Chicago, is shown in the accompanying illustrations, did not start in the business for love of flowers, but from love of life and love of the children dependent upon her. She had not the ability to pay a full month's rent in advance when she rented her present stand, then conducted by Mrs. Anna Decker, a sister of C. Frauenfelder and now in the business at West Pull- man, 111. In the course of time Mrs. Anderson was able to buy the store of Mrs. £.

"The laying out of the advertisement, writing of matter and choice of cuts are left entirely with our advertising man.

While she is pleased at her success as a bread-earner, her pride is her two children, a boy and a girl. STORE PLANS WANTED. I am looking for a location to build a first-class retail store in the residence portion of Kansas City. What I want to know is which side of a street that runs north and south is the better for a retail store, also the better side of a street that runs east and west. I would like some plans and specifications for the building. I want to build a two- story residence adjoining the flower store, or build all together. If any Ee- viEW readers have anything that they think is right I wish they would send it to me and I will pay all expenses of express both ways and if they should produce what I want I will give $50 for the plans. This offer holds good until April 1. This phase of our business I have never seen discussed in the trade papers. It seems to me that florists should have some better stores than we have built for general purposes. Geo. M. Kellogg. Pleasant Hill, Mo. HOUSE OF VIOLETS. I have planned to build an east and west house, 30x100, for head lettuce and try Marie Louise violets in about one- fourth of the house. But on reading what Galloway's violet book says about north and south houses giving better re- sults than east and west houses, I am uncertain as to whether it would not be better to build a small north and south house for violets. Please gr^e me your opinion. * G. G. Well, it all depends. So many condi- tions not mentioned in the query would have a bearing on the answer that one hardly likes to advise. If, as appears on first reading, G. G. can build another house as well as not, I would advise do- ing so ; but if he does not wish to go to the additional expense of another house, or his ground is not favorable, or his boiler capacity limited, or he knows nothing about violets and only desires to experiment, I would say try part of the proposed lettuce house. He can easily put a partition in ft and have separate heating coils in it, so that he can main- tain the desired temperature. I can assure him that I have seen as fine^ violets as were ever grown, growing in east and west houses; in fact, dur- ing the short, cloudy days of winter they are all right. But taking it earlier and later, when the sun gets brighter, or rather the days get brighter, then the north and south house gets the best of it, from the fact that at midday the light is diffused and does not come on the plants so strongly. After getting all the information that one can on such matters, one will still have to come to a decision for himself, owing to all the many conditions that a strariger cannot consider, knowing nothing about them.

There have for some time been ru- mors afloat of the plans of a gentleman, now engaged in the trade, to form a combine to embrace the principal grow- ers in a large extent of especially pros- perous territory for the purpose of reap- ing the benefits which consolidation has gained in some other lines of business. It is reported that this is to be no gentlemen's agreement, but that the plants are to be acquired by purchase, and in one or two localities where there are good markets and excellent shipping facilities, but no large ranges to be ac- quired, big new modern plants are to be built. Although the reputed originator of the idea is a man of considerable finan- cial resource, of wide business expe- rience and undoubted energy and am- bition, his scheme as reported has not been taken seriously because of the eco- nomic conditions which govern in our trade. Thus far the law of supply and demand has been found inexorable in the wholesale cut flower markets. And there are two facts which have been developed by the operations in other lines which would have an important bearing on any plans for consolidations in the greenhouse industry. First, no combine has been successful which has sought its profit through an arbitrary advance in prices; profit has only come through economy in production and maintaining a steady market. Second, no combination not based on a control of raw materials has been free from constantly increasing competition, which has operated against the stability of the market. In the cut flower business the man who comes nearest to control- ing his market is not necessarily the one who produces largest quantities, but the one who produces highest quality. If an operator controlling a large part of the supply should seek to take ad- vantage of the necessities of the trade in times of light supply he would only succeed in accelerating the rate at which glass is now being put up by those who formerly were among the wholesal- ers' best customers. To those not green at the business it has for several sea- sons been apparent that one of the chief diflBculties of those growing for whole- sale is that too many of their cus- tomers have enough stock from their own glass in times of good crops and only call upon the wholesaler for spe- cialties, or at times of short supply, when the wholesaler, too, is off crop. It probably is a safe guess that if the combine in question actually were undertaken not many growers would re- fuse adequate cash offers, but that most of them would decline to take corpora- tion stock in payment for their plants. Nor would the best men care to be iden- tified either with the success or failure of a corporation which in the slightest degree embodied the trust idea. The florists' business is to this date, and to many ,it appears that it always will be, an individual enterprise. VITIS THUNBERGI. Of all the hardy vines Vitis Thunbergi is by far the most handsome, says a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine, and certainly it is one of the most remark- able introduced from China and Japan. For clothing buildings, pergolas, pillars, etc., it is of great value on account of its rapid growth, handsome foliage, and magnificent autumnal coloring. The leaves are fully one foot long and as much in width, very thick and leathery, with a dense tomentum on the under sur- face and rich, glossy green above. In many respects this vine closely re- sembles V. CoignetisB, but the growth is not quite so vigorous, though the foliage is larger, and the two can most easily be recognized in the autumn, when V. Thunbergi commences to put on its mag- nificent tints. Vitis Coignetise, though a rampant grower and a useful plant for many positions, is nevertheless dis- appointing in the autumn, and it is quite the exception to hear of a finely colored specimen. Of V. Thunbergi I have never heard any complaint in this respect, and have seen it coloring highly in several parts of the country. The name of V. Thunbergi for this vine has often been disputed by botanists and there are many now who regard it as incorrect, and consider it to be a form of V. Coignetiae. Nicholson's Dictionary gives V. Thunbergi as a synonym of V. Labrusca, but the Kew Hand List, which is more recent, includes V. Thunbergi as a separate species from China and Japan. In the most interesting booklet upon "Hardy Ornamental Vines," by James H. Veitch, Vitis Thunbergi is described as reaching Europe from China and .Japan. Store of Mrs. E. A. Anderson, Chicago.

The general treatment of the houses during the next few weeks will entail a great deal of wofk and care and, as the spring work increases, there is often a tendency to let the old stock look after itself and beyond giving it its daily wa- tering, syringing and ventilation it re- ceives little attention. We are yet a long way from the end of the season and if we expect the stock to do a good season's work we must supply it with the sinews of war. Stock which is strong and has been doing good work during the winter and fall should now receive a liberal sup- ply of food as the element necessary to produce fine flowers must now be pretty well exhausted, or in such a condition that it is no longer available for food. To supplement this a good rich mulch will be of great benefit. Previous to applying the mulch it is also beneficial to apply a sprinkling of bone meal. Liquid feeding can also be indulged in with good results, but this should al- ways be used rather weak for a first application. Where large, well shaped and highly colored buds are expected <.ae plants must have the proper amount of food at the proper time, be carefully watered and ventilated, and all this can only oe accomplished after carefully studying the wants of the plants, both as regards food and air. The American Rose Society's show, which will be held in Washington next month, will be an exhibition of the ef- fect of the highest grade of rose culture, which should be of the greatest inter- est to growers and lovers of this queen of flowers. The work accomplished by the society in the past has been of incalculable bene- fit to the commercial grower who is every day reaping this benefit and in many cases without making inquiry as to the source from which it is derived. It is the duty of every rose grower to identify himself with this society by be- coming a member, lending it strength by his presence at its meetings and ad- ding his quota of experience to the rest for the benefit of the whole. By attending the exhibition next month in full strength it will do much to en- courage the work, add interest to the cause and be of lasting benefit and profit to each and every one attending. There is a splendid list of special pre- miums and any grower who has an idea that his stock is the best in the market will be well rewarded should he prove it in the exhibition. RiBES. TROUBLE VITH ROSES. I am having trouble with my roses. The plants are losing their leaves, the blooms are getting smaller and there are only a few of them. Early in the season the plants did well, the flowers being of fair size. I think they need some fertilizer and perhaps are kept too dry. I would like to know if something can be done on a crop for Easter. The weather has been dark and rainy and we have mildew. The soil is clay loam. H. G. F. Without examining a specimen, or see- ing the conditions under which the roses were grown, it would be unsafe to say what the trouble really is, but of a certainty they should not be fed in their Even under the most skilful treatment i fear there is little show for a good crop at Easter. Rises. IN YOUNG'S BIG HOUSE. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph made recently in the big greenhouse of the John Young Co., at Bedford Station, N. Y., a few miles from the metropolis. The house is 56x 701 and is devoted to Beauties. The results to date have been far ahead of Mr. Young's expectations, the cut at Christmas having been especially heavy. The location is an ideal one for cut flower growing. Mr. Young has ninety- five acres of land amid the West Chester hills and it is not unlikely that ulti- mately there may be here a much larger range of glass. ERRATIC TREATMENT OF ROSES.

If they have been run so dry that the bottom of the soil has become dusty, that would account for the whole of the trouble and the true remedy would oe to gradually begin giving more water and continue doing so until the whole of the soil is of a uniform moistness; then watch results and vary the supply as circumstances or weather may de- mand. overwatering, and also careless ventila- tion, will account for their present state.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. A meeting of the executive committee of the American Eose Society was held February 11, in Traendly & Schenck's office, New York city. The president, Bobert Simpson, reported that Robert Craig, of Philadelphia, Wm. F. Kast- ing, of Buffalo, and P. J. Hauswirth, of Chicago, had consented to act as judges at the Washington exhibition. The following have been added to the list of special prizes: A $25 by W. A. Manda, of South Orange, for the larg- est and most varied collection of cut roses of all classes, one or more blooms in a vaae. Wm. H. Ernest, of Wash- ington, offers $25 for a group of dec- orative plants covering at least 100 square feet. Vaughan's Seed Store, New York, offers $10 in gold for six plants of White Baby Rambler rose, grown in 5-inch pots or larger. For the best vase of yellow roses of any variety, ,^10 in gold is offered by Siebrecht & Son, New Rochelle. For the best fifty blooms of Golden Gate, a silver cup valued'' at $25 is offered by W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia. For the best twenty-five blooms of La Detroit ■$25 is offered by John Breitmeyer's Sons, Detroit. The schedules of the society's prizes ■covering the joint affairs of the Ameri- can Eose Society and the Washington Florists' Club was submitted; but there will be a supplementary list issued, as the list of prizes is increasing. Many people have shown an interest who had not been heard from until within a few ■days. E. Gurney Hill will read a paper on ■* ' New Varieties. ' ' There will be two questions offered for discussion at the society meeting, as follows: First: -what definite work can the American Eose Society take up at this time for its members, in particular, for the rose- loving public in general, that it does not now do? Second: granted that a Jargely increased membership is desir- able and essential to the permanence and usefulness of the American Eose Society, how may it best be obtained and where shall we find ready responses, among the professional florists and gardeners, or who are commenly called amateurs? The Washington Florists' Club is making strenuous efforts to make this show a decided success. The Arlington hotel has been chosen as the headquar- ters of the American Eose Society. The official meetings of the society will be held in the exhibition hall, corner Fif- teenth and E streets, N. W., Washing- ton, D. C, the first meeting beginning at 8 p. m., March 13. The secretary reported that a pam- phlet is now in press, covering the mat- ters of the past, the constitution of the society, and a chapter on "Eoses," from the Woman's Hardy Garden, by Helen Eutherford Ely. This work follows in the line which was followed, by W. J. Stewart a year or more ago and is in- tended for distribution to members and others interested in becoming members of the society. Benjamin Hammond, Sec'y. MR.RUDD'S SEEDLINGS. Ed. Eeview: — As comment has sev- eral times been made on the high num- bers given my seedlings, a little explana- tion of our system of numbering may prevent our being credited with more work in that line than we have done. We number all crosses each year, be- ginning with No. 1. To these numbers we add the two figures denoting the year. The letters added distinguish the different seedlings from the same pod. 16802a means cross No. 168 of the year 1902 and the first plant blooming from that pod of seed, which we saved for further trial. We might also have 16802b, 16802c, and 16802d, for exam- ple. These would all be from the same pod, and the letters would indicate the order in which the first bloom appeared. This method of numbering is very simple and, to the initiated, conveys con- siderable information. W. N. Eudd. CARNATION NOTES.— VEST. Seasonable Treatment. During the last week we have had al- most continual bright weather and I dare say that every grower is glad of such a change. It is surprising, though, how the quality of the carnations has kept up in spite of the unfavorable weather we have had since a week be- fore Christmas. It shows what abun- dant ventilation and careful watering will do. Those who have been less care- ful along that line have been complain- ing of soft blooms, weak stems and too many splits. Those whose stock h^s grown soft from lack of ventilation, etc., will be having their troubles for a week or two yet, until the plants become accustomed to the bright sunshine, and great care must be exercised in the watering and ventilating. The plants will wilt badly during the middle of the day and you must counteract that as much as you can. About 10 o'clock take the hose and spray them lightly overhead and dampen any walks that are exposed to the strong sun to help keep the atmo- sphere moist. About 1 o'clock repeat the spraying, but be sure it is light, so the plants will dry off again before night. The paths, too, should be com- paratively dry by evening, so don't overdo that part of it. A few days of this treatment will hold them up until the growth hardens enough to stand the full sunshine. More watering will be needed, too, especially on the south side of the beds, but don't think you can prevent wilting by watering heavily at the roots. It won 't help any, you must depend on the syringing for that. But watch the soil closely and do not allow them to become too dry. It will be more difficult to maintain a uniform state of moisture in the soil, because it will dry out so much more from one day to the next and you must often water a little sooner than you would in cloudy weather in order to pre- vent the other extreme, which would likely be more harmful. The plants can stand a moister soil during bright weather, too, so no harm should result. You can help matters considerably by applying a light mulch of loose ma- terial to the beds. Half-rotted stable manure will answer the purpose perfect- ly. Put it on a scant inch thick and spread it out evenly over the soil. After that is put on you must be careful with your watering, lest you get them too wet, as evaporation will be slow. The mulch need not be much of a food, though of course it is sure to contain some food and if you have been feeding regularly you will do well to cut it out until you have watered through this mulch a few times. If you have not been feeding any and you think your plants are in good condition to take some extra food then you can first sprinkle the soil with finely ground bone or whatever you may prefer to feed with. This mulch will keep the bone moist and help to dissolve it. If the plants came through the win- ter in good shape thus far they will likely need a little feeding from now on. Bone meal, sheep manure, cow ma- nure and dried blood are about all you need. In fact, you can get along with- out the last named, but it is a good thing for quick results. The quality may be good now, but you want to build up the plants now for the spring crop, so it will be of good texture. This bright weather is severe on the cuttings in the propagating bench, and you must keep your wits about you, else there will be trouble. In taking cuttings from the plants you should be careful, too, to take them off when the plants are in a fresh condition. In the morning before the sun has gained much strength is the best time. With a little foretnought you can take off enough to' keep you busy during the day and dy keeping them damp and covered they will be in excellent condition. A. F. J. Baur. CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH. [A paper by W. B. Patterson, Jr., of Mont- gomery, Ala., and read before the Society of Southern Florists at the New Orleans Conven- tion, February 14 to 16, 1907.] I have been asked to write a paper on "Carnation Culture in the South." It strikes me that this is quite a broad subject, for we have a large area when we take in what is known as "the south. ' ' In fact, I am sure that there 1008 The Weekly Florists^ Review "t Febbuabx 21, 1907. are just as -wide diflferences as to cli- mate and soil as there are between the New England and the western states. My knowledge being limited to Ala- bama and adjoining states, I will en- deavor to give my personal experience, and those facts which I have picked up from neighboring growers, rather than attempt a broader scope. I believe that we growers in the south have a far more difficult problem in growing carnations than our northern Drethren. Our long, hot summers and lack of good soil are our most serious handicaps. Treatment of Cuttings. In selecting the cuttings I am always careful to take them from the healthiest and strongest plants, using side cuttings from the blooming stem always, except when we wish to work up the stock of a certain variety; then we use top cut- tings also; but we have found the side cuttings root better and make the strongest and best shaped plants. We use fine, clean sand. It does not make much difference about the sand, just so it is clean and entirely free from decayed matter of any kind. We use a little bottom heat, about 56 to 58 degrees, with a top or outside temperature of 48 to 50 degrees. With too much bottom heat the vitality of the plant is injured. Our first effort, six years ago, to root carnations was a total failure, due entirely to too little water. For the first two weeks you can- not give the cuttings too much water: then afterwards water very lightly, un- til, after three weeks, none at all. In thirty days most varieties will be rooted well. If you can so arrange it that the cuttings can get the full sun after two weeks they will make better cuttings. The more light the better after the cuttings are struck. Transplanting. We transplant them into a bench with about two and one-half inches of soil planting them one and one-half inches apart in the row and rows about two and one-half inches apart. We find this method better than pots, for then the cuttings are not liable to become stunt- ed or pot-bound and do not dry as when they are planted in pots. When the time comes to plant them in the field, we cut them out with a tiat trowel. We always try to plant in the field the first good weather we get after March 25, believing in an early start and early planting in the house'i after- ward. In our locality this date is not too early, for we never have cold weath- er enough to injure them after March 25. Probably this date would be some- what too early for those north of our latitude. After getting them planted we keep the cultivator and hoes going once or twice a week. In fact, as often as the weather will permit we cultivate shallow and often, keeping a light, loose layer of soil on top all the time. A Problem of Soil. By the second week in July we are ready to plant indoors again. But be- fore taking this up I will take up the soil. Here we have our most vexing problem. We have been using ordinary red clay subsoil mixed with manure in the proportion of three parts clay to one part manure. This soil is made up one year before using. In fact, this soil is the only kind used by the majority of growers in Alabama, Georgia and Mis- sissippi. The top soil in most of these localities is too light and sandy. We have this year invested in thirty- two acres of an old pasture. This soil is what is known as black prairie soil, and this is the best farming soil in the state. It can be found in all degrees of stiffness, to a sandy loam. It closely resembles the prairie soil of the west- ern states and is found in limited areas in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, the belt of it in Alabama running just south of Montgomery. Treatment of Plants. We use about four to five inches of soil on the benches and give the plants a distance of ten to twelve inches, de- pending on the size of the plants and variety planted. We have an experienced man in the field to dig the plants, be- ing careful to get as many roots as pos- sible and to injure as few as possible. Just before planting we give the soil a light dressing of bone meal. We are careful not to use too much, for I be- lieve too much of it retaras the early taking hold of the soil by the plants. After planting, being careful not to plant too deeply, we give the plants a thorough soaking. When the soil be- comes dry enough, we keep it scratched and loose half an inch down so that the air is admitted to the soil freely. We are ca.reful not to give them too much water to start on, but keep them rather on the dry side for the first month or six weeks. As the plants take a firmer hold they require more water. After the plants have begun to grow nicely then we stake them, getting the lanky varieties staked first. We use the model carnation support, but believe a combination of this support and string wire is just as good, using the rings to support the body of the plant and the wire and string to support the shoots. We always spray our carnations on bright, sunshiny days, trying to get as much force as possible. Using judg- ment as to the varieties more subject to rust, and being sure that the day will be clear, we are always able to keep down red spider and have no trouble with the rust, except where some varie- ties have contracted it before housing, especially during a wet summer which we sometimes have. A solution of this I believe is early housing or indoor cul- ture, of which I will have more to say a little later. The first feeding is given about the middle of November or the first part of December in the form of one-half inch of well-decayed cow manure with light dressing of hard-wood ashes and bone meal. By January 1 the roots are all through this mulch. Then we begin feeding liquid manure, using it weak at the first three or four applications, making it a little stronger each water- ing. We give them a watering with this once a week. We use all wood ashes and a little bone meal about twice a month, mixing it with a little rotted manure and giving it to them in the form of a light dressing, letting the wa- ter wash it into the soil. Toward the first part of April, when the sun gets hotter and the soil begins to crack light- ly, especially along the edges of the benches, we give them another mulch, a little heavier than the one we gave in the early winter. Insects. Our most dangerous enemy is thrips. In fact, it is hard to get entirely rid of them, for you can find them on every- thing outdoors during the summer. Our best remedy is fumigating with tobacco dust and red pepper. Spraying with To-bak-ine with a fine spray pump is also an efficient remedy. We found it a little more expensive than tobacco dust, but I believe it has a quicker ef- fect in that it reaches the insects quicker and more readily than the smoke. We keep a close lookout for this insect, for it may ruin the plants before we know it. In fact, after the plants have taken good hold of the soil I think it as good a plan to spray them with To-bak-ine once a week, even if we do not see signs of thrips being present, or fumigate with tobacco and red pepper as soon as the houses are closed in. The aphides are easily handled. In fact, we get rid of all of them in trying to keep down thrips. With careful spraying we never have much troubles with the red spider. Diseases. The most dreaded and the only dis- ease that has given us any trouble is stem-rot. This was due mostly to plant- ing the carnations in the same field two or more years in succession. I think.it a good plan never to plant carnations in the same plot of ground the succeeding year. Carrying this plan out strictly, and being sure that no kindred disease, as wilt or stem-rot in other plants, has been in the field we intend to plant, I am sure this disease will give us no trouble. Sometimes when the summers are rainy we have ^rouble with rust. But by housing early in July this is usually avoided, for we generally have this rainy spell in August. Indoor Culture. I would like to say here a little about indoor culture entirely. From the little experience that I have had on this line, and what I have seen from greenhouse in adjoining cities I am sure it can be made a success. The Lawson, Enchantress and kindred types have already proved adaptable to indoor culture and I think with more experience as to the care and growing of them indoors it will succeed field cul- ture, and I feel sure that I will be able to say more about this next year. Varieties. The following are the varieties grown by us: For white, our mainstays are Boston Market and White Cloud. We also grow Wolcott, Moonlight, Fred Burki, White Perfection, Lieut. Peary and The Queen. White Perfection is undoubtedly the best commercial white to date. For pink, we grow mostly E. A. Nelson and Lawson. We also grow Joost, Nelson Fisher and Helen Goddard in limited numbers. For light pink, we grow Enchantress only. What is the use of growing others in this shade when you have Enchantress! We have a rose-pink sport of Enchantress which is a good one; probably the same thing that is on the market elsewhere. For red, we grow Crusader and Cardinal as the best. We also grow Red Lawson and America. For maroon shades, we grow Harlowarden and Glow Worm. The last named I consider better than Harlowarden, Febbuabv 21, 1907. The Weekly Florists' RevieW. 100? We have invested in some of. the newer varieties, namely Winsor, Helen Gould, White Enchantress, Aristocrat, Victory, Red Chief and Beacon, which we canni)t say much about until they have a thorough trial. Encouraging Prospects. I feel much encouraged that we south- ern florists and growers are now able to organize as a body and can get together and talk over our experiences and I be- lieve that this first convention marks an epoch in our growth. It means that the south is to come forward soon, in the introduction of new varieties of car- nations, roses and other greenhouse and garden plants, and I believe that in this way we will be able to get varieties es- pecially adapted to our soil, climate, etc. mis DELAVAYI. There is much to admire in this new species of grassy iris frgm Yunnan — a free-growing plant that seems to be very accommodating in its requirements, and showing such good qualities that en- title it to rank with I. aurea, I. gigantea and I. Mounieri, both in border plant- ing and for waterside. The flowers are superb, colored the richest violet, blotched very slightly with white on the long, narrow "fall" pet- als, and they are produced in plenty from clumps two years established. 1 have it growing well by a waterside un- der the treatment given to Iris Kaemp- feri, says a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine, and its growth is satisfactory in every respect — the spikes reaching a height of fifty inches, each yielding sev- eral flowers. The leafage i8 particularly graceful, and may be likened to that of the lesser reed mace — narrow, slender, slightly arching, and over a yard in height. I saw it last autumn in Scotland thriving equally well under drier condi- tions, growing in competition with asters, border phloxes, and pyrethrums. Its growth there was not so tall, but flowers were produced in plenty and they were of good size. The lance-shaped, droop- ing falls remind one of the rarer Japa- nese Iris albo-purpurea, and many of the American group, but none of these has such intense coloring. This rich vio- let is rare among irises. Reticulata and Douglasiana alone have it, and it is rarer still among plants that can be used by waterside in July and August. This iris appears to be quite hardy any- where in Britain. PROPAGATING. * It is none too soon to begin prop- agating for the coming season's work. All of the early varieties, and ^Iso the slow growers, should be put into the sand t|^is month. Under the head of slow growers I class such varieties as Beatrice May, May Seddon, Merza, Nel- lie Pockett, Cheltoni and Mary Ann Pock- ett. Early propagation of these varie- ties permits of their attaining a good length of stem, which, when propagated later, they do not have a chance to do. Beatrice May, rooted as many commer- cial growers would root it, in May or June, will not attain a height of over eighteen inches and such a stem is hardly long enough for cutting. The extra early kinds, too, must be under way in good season so that good stock can be set out in May; this being necessary because, in the case of Mon- rovia, for instance, buds must be se- cured late in July, to obtain the flowers during the last of September. The grower who is looking for very early flowers must always keep in mind that it means early propagation, early planting and early bud selection. The last year was perhaps the best that the growers of early varieties ever enjoyed; prices were excellent and the buyers were clam- orous for flowers. Whether this will continue this year we cannot say, but let us hope so. The scarcity of other stock was a prime factor in bringing about this result and, while we are not selfish enough to desire to profit by our neighbor's loss, it is to be hoped that the early kinds will find a warm welcome awaiting them. One great advantage of the early kinds is the fact that they are gone early and make room for a lot of stock just at a time when room is needed, with everything waiting to be housed from frost. Getting back to the propagating. The •operation of making cuttings and put- ting them in the sand is so simple and well understood that there is no need of going into detail; but one should, wher- ever possible, judiciously select the cut- tings. The suckers that spring out of the ground around the stem of the par- ent plant make the best cuttings. The shoots that appear on the old stem should never be used, as they almost invariably run up to bud when they begin to grow, and never make really good plants. It is, of course, assumed that the stock plants are up on a bench in a good light position somewhere and not thrown un- der the bench and left there. Simply because a chrysanthemum will make some kind of a growth, no matter where it is put, is no reason why it should not get a fair show. I like to plant my stock plants out on a bench in new soil and when this is done the old stools will produce quantities of stock; when, if left in the old, sour soil, oftentimes the plants will go back and, in any case, they do not as a rule seem to push out so freely as the transplanted stock. I have for years propagated the finest cuttings I could get in November and used these for stock plants to propagate from in early spring. This method does away with the old plants, with their legacy of leaf-spot, fly and other diseases, as one is propagating only from vigorous young plants. This sounds perhaps like forcing to some growers, who are in favor of holding the old plants in a semi- dormant condition all winter, "giving them a rest." But if the young stock is grown in a proper, temperature, 45 to 50 degrees, they produce better cjit- tings in spring than the old stools, and unless rushed to death they, to my mind, give better results. Chaeles H. Tottt. Monroe, Mich. — Walter Vandegrift, of Adrian, has bought property here and will engage in the florists' business. MUMS IN THE SOUTH. [A pap^r by P. P. Davis. Mobile, read before the Society of Soathern Florists at the New Orleans Convention, February 14 to 16.] The chrysanthemum to be a commer- cial flower must have perfectly clean foliage and the delicate texture which can only be had under glass, and, there- fore, the chrysanthemum of commerce must be so grown. The Only Vay. Many inquiries have been made by beginners as to how to grow chrysan- themums in the garden in the south. I have read some of the answers by au- thorities on the subject of mum grow- ing in cold climates, and have been as often amused. When such queries have been submitted to me my invariable an- swer has been, "It cannot be done." Surely the plant will grow, and grow luxuriantly, in the open, but the flower is coarse, soiled, weather beaten, thrips eaten, and what not. Some of our re- tailers grow it outdoors and use it large- ly for funeral work; for which class of work it is well known anything can be used, as the dead man never kicks, and his family, however unattractive the flowers sent in by friends may be, would not give expressions to wound the feel- ings of such friends. I make this apology for having been assigned to ad- dress the convention of southern florists on "Growing Chrysanthemums Under Glass" — when there is no other way to grow them. A Matter of Knowledg^e. Mum growing in the south, unlike most of the other commercial flowers, has passed the age of guessing. There is no difference as to the knowledge required to produce fine flowers in Chi- cago, or in New Orleans. The differ- ence is in applying the knowledge to the conditions, and in choosing the varieties that respond to the conditions. The 1010 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Febbuary 21, 1907. Dahlia. Fireburst. southern grower must not be misled by the achievements of our brother work- ers of the north with any variety. He must do his own experimenting, with- out fear of cost and with the courage to quickly throw away hundreds of va- rieties that are sure to disappoint him. He must make his own selection. Very early varieties are useless for experimental purposes. Anything that gives a flower sooner than Bassett or Eobinson, is sure failure. Only varie- ties that open quickly and produce per- fect flowers will do. Such varieties as Jeanne Nonin and Eaton are always disappointing. It takes them too long to finish. Propagate Late. To begin, we must propagate as late as possible. The shorter time in the growth, the shorter time of exposure to the ravages of the twenty or more in- sect enemies we have to encounter. I propagate the latter part of April for best results. Here I encounter the most stubborn problem in growing chrysan- themums in a hot climate. The stock plants are in vigorous growth and the cuttings naturally soft and apt to damp off in the sand. I find this tendency to damp off greatly encouraged by the fungus from the pine wood of the bench, and to prevent this I struck on the idea of lining the propagating bench with glass. With copious watering and en- tire shade, the striking of the cuttings is easy. The flowers will be from three weeks to a month later than the northern grown mums, and so the later planting is equalized by the later blooming. It is with all science and great difficulty that we get Robinson for All Saints' day. As to the treatment during growth, there is no difference whether it be in Canada or Mexico. What applies to Chicago in August will apply here in September. Insect Pests. The preventive treatment for insects is the same, except that the greatest caution must be taken in fumigating on account of heat. Cyanide is the surest for all insects, but very dangerous, ex- cept in the hands of the most expe- rienced. I do not mean dangerous to man, but great caution must be observed lest we sicken our plants beyond recov- ery. I cannot, therefore, advise its gen- eral use. Experiment on a small scale, and learn to handle it, and it is a lux- ury, and the cheapest. Light and fre- quent use of tobacco in any form is ef- fective and safe for all except mealy bugs, and a man who is negligent enough to let the mealy bugs get into his plants does not deserve to succeed. Our worst enemy is thrips. They come after the harvest is in sight, and they surely come. After their presence is known it is too late to fight. Reg- ular and frequent fumigating with to- bacco in some shape is the only hope of keeping thrips out and, in very dry seasons at blooming time, even this fails. Varieties. As to varieties, everyone must choose for himself, from his own tests, in his own locality. After trying almost every variety introduced in the last twenty years, I have settled on Bassett, Robin- son, Ivory, Appleton, Jones, Yellow Jones, Chadwick, Golden Chadwick, Old Golden Gate, Golden Wedding, Queen or Alice Byron, Mrs. Weeks, and per- haps White Bonnaffon. You may no- tice that pink and the darker shades are not in my list. They are all disappoint- ing in color and seldom called for. Every chrysanthemum plant I grow must produce a salable bloom. You may no- tice also that all of these are old varie- ties, ancient varieties I may say. All I can say of last year's varieties is that none of them stand a wind of ninety-four miles an hour. On Septem- ber 26 such a wind came along my way,, and when it had died down sufficiently for me to put my head out of the cellar,, a few scraps of broken glass was what was left of my mum house. Some of my hopeful new varieties landed over in the next county, and somehow I lost interest in last year's introductions. Holds to Standard Varieties. Of the year previous I had hopes of Nonin, Roi d'ltalie, and Beatrice May; but I find nothing to displace in mj Dahlia Mrs. Gordon Abbott. Febbuaby 21, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review* lOil Dahlia Governor Guild. standard list, except that I VFOuld add May but for its softness. I am grow- ing nothing in the modern list because I am unwilling to throw away what ex- perience has taught me to be better. The season is once a year and short, and, as yet with us, it is the flower that is novfll and not the variety. My standard is that every plant must give a perfect salable flower and the bloom must unfold quickly. On account of the character of help I am sometimes compelled to put up with, there must be no great science in taking the bud. In my list you may notice that I have only varieties that give sure flowers from any, or the best looking, bud that ap- pears. Bobinson and Bassett are the only exceptions, and I take the crown on these, as they give better stems. In this trespass on your time I have made no effort to instruct the beginner. I am conscious of addressing an audi- ence in which many of the growers could instruct me. I have endeavored to give only my experience on a subject com- mon to the humblest florist, and so thor- oughly threshed out by the brains of the floral world, that only the conceited novice would venture to give instruction. Future Possibilities. You may notice that my experience has been only as relates to the commer- cial flower. The exhibition chrysanthe- mum is not yet needed. The local show of the New Orleans society is the only effort in the show direction in our sec- tion. This will all come in good time, however; the organization of the So- ciety of Southern Florists is a move. The south is of great possibilities. Our success and advancement will be meas- ured by the realization of our meagre knowledge of the beautiful subject we all 80 much love, and our willingness to be instructed by that simple yet sublime teacher — Nature. NEW DAHLIAS. Among the season's novelties is a set of new decorative dahlias being sent out by W. W. Kawson & Co., Boston. These were raised by a Mr. Johnson, of Brockton, Mass., and were awarded hon- orable mention by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society when first ex- hibited. Governor Guild is described as the largest pure white show dahlia in exist- ence. It is without even the least sug- gestion of any shade either at the base of the petal of center of the flower. The flower is full and round, built loose- ly, giving the flower a far more grace- ful appearance than show dahlias usually have. The spread of the flowers is five inches. They are borne on erect, long stems and appear far above the foliage. The plants grow five feet high and are profuse bloomers. Edward Le Favour is deep rose shad- ing to a most pleasing distinct shade of pink. The flowers are globe shaped, measure four inches and over, and are produced in great abundance on bushy plants four feet high. A bouquet of these dahlias produces a most showy effect. Mrs. Gordon Abbott is a giant in size and distinct in color. Several specimens last fall measured five and a half inches. The color is brightest golden, mottled, speckled and striped intense scarlet. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish is rich, deep amber, the first decorative dahlia of this color. The flower often is seven inches in diameter, very double, petals gracefully curved. The plants grow four feet high and with fair treatment produce flowers quite early in the sea- son. W. W. Rawson is oddly formed and delicately colored. Considering forma- tion of flower, it appears to be a cross between Grand Duke Alexis and Mrs. Eoosevelt. It has thrown off the stiff formation of the first, retained the more flatly fluted petal of the latter, but im- proved the appearance by being more compact. The flower is well built up, round and measures six to seven inches in diameter. The color is white over- laid with ametnyst blue, each petal be- ing completely colored. Fireburst is of immense size. It is a seedling of Le Colosse, has broader and longer petals, is more flatly built but a far more intense scarlet, slightly shaded orange and produces blooms which some- times measure eight inches.

Several consecutive, warm, bright days have brought in a greater amount of stock than this market has had in three months and the advent of Lent has checked demand to a slight ex- tent. Local trade has not been active since Valentine's day, but shipping de- mand continues excellent. Monday was a good day but Tuesday was decidedly dull and much stock was left over. As prices recede large buyers will again come into the market. Roses are equal to all requirements, ex- cept Beauties. These continue in sup- ply not up to the demand and quality is not high. Other roses leave nothing to be desired in quality and supply has so increased that average prices have fallen nearly one-half within ten days. The carnation department was the first to feel the effect of increased receipts. There has been enough stock to take care of the trade for some time and with- in the last fortnight prices have gone down to the point where some unquot- able rates are reported for clean-up sales. Pink is the slowest to move, but the supply of Enchantress is ahead of the demand. As long as the bright weather holds carnations will be on the bargain counter. It is to be regretted, for this is a season of the year when prices do not go up again easily if bad weather should check production. There has been an inundation of bul- bous stock. Fancy tulips are abundant and daffodils and jonquils are piling up in the wholesale houses. Common tulips are selling as low as $2 per hundred and the decline has been general in all departments. There have been greatly increased receipts of calla lilies, which go out slowly. Easter lilies are not so abundant, but if one can use short stems and small flowers there are quantities to be had at cheap prices. The receipts of violets this week have been lighter, but they are piling up. Large quantities came in last week and sold well. St. "Valentine's day made an exceptionally strong market for forty- eight hours. It cuts more and more figure every year. The violet is the spe- cial flower of the day and sold well, prices holding up until nearly all of the Hudson river receipts had been sold, but a small surplus developed Wednes- day afternoon and Thursday morning. All other flowers felt the effect of the increased demand and wholesalers and retailers all were satisfied. At this season of the year there al- ways are flurries in green goods. Smi- lax had its turn Monday, but it always is possible to get greens in this market if the order is placed the day before. Common ferns are poor, both those com- ing out of storage and those received from the east. An advance in price has been made by the eastern shippers which has resulted in adding a notch to the price asked here. QubMeetiof. At the largest and most enthusiastic meeting the Chicago Florists' Club has held in years August Poehlmann made a motion to invite the American Rose Society to hold its 1908 meeting here. It was carried by a rising vote. It was carnation night, February 14, and the hall was crowded. Exhibits were numerous and most of them fine. The judges, W. N. Rudd, J. G. Han- cock and F. F. Benthey, scored the new sorts as follows: Winsor, 88; May, 78; Snowdrift, 84; Red Riding Hood, 82; Imperial, 79 ; Pink Imperial, 84 ; To- reador, 85; Mabelle, 79; No. 20, 87. Without Mr. Rudd's assistance the other judges scored No. 16802a, 87 points. Certificates were awarded all scoring 85 or better. A. T. Pyfer, H. Cheesman and Harry Manheim were elected to membership. J. F. Helbok was proposed. The resig- nations of W. A. Peterson and George Wienhoeber were accepted with regret. Resolutions were adopted endorsing the proposed appropriation for green- houses for experiment at the State Uni- versity and P. J. Foley reported on the status of affairs at Springfield. President Bruns inaugurated the less formal part of the proceedings with the remark that the club was fortunate in having present on St. Valentine's day, Mr. Valentine, of Denver. That widely traveled gentleman gave a brief account of what he had seen on his re- cent trip and concluded by saying that after visiting a number of the Chicago growers he had been more than ever impressed that a liberal education in the trade can be obtained right in this market. W. A. Kennedy, of Milwau- kee, said that, not being able to go to Toronto he did the next best thing — came to the Chicago carnation show. Messrs. Rudd, Hauswirth, Pyfer, Poehl- mann, .^smus and others had a few things to say and E. C. Amiing, finan-: T lOU The Weekly Florists^ Review^ February 21, 1907. NOW, THEN!

CO. 33-35 Randolph St. hJSli^z CHICAGO Mention The Review when you write. cial secretary, reported receipts of the evening $130. The exhibits from out of town were cs follows: Winsor, from F. K. Pierson Co., staged Dy Jensen & Dekema, attracted the favorable comment of everyone. The flowers were shipped from Scar- boro, N. Y., Monday and were in per- fect condition Thursday night, more than three days later and nearly a thou- sand miles from home. The color tills a gap and is fine under artificial light. Several growers who had visited the Pierson place spoke highly of the habit of growth. It will be planted largely in the vicinity of Chicago next season. H. Weber & Sons Co., Oakland, Md., sent Toreador, on the Prosperity order, and Mabelle, pink. Toreador is to be sent out next year and will be tried by most of the growers, for its color is needed. Both sorts traveled well. J. E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa., sent Imperial and Pink Imperial. There would be no steady sale for the former in this market, because of its peculiar variegation, but Pink Imperial pleases. Both sorts have magnificent stems. B. Witterstaetter, Cincinnati, sent a good white, called Snowdrift, a large, round, full flower. Baur & Smith, Indianapolis, sent May, flesh pink. It is too small. The largest local exhibit was that of Poehlmann Bros. Co. It included En- chantress, Bed Lawson, Lawson, Gov. Wolcott, Lieut. Peary, Craig, Variegat- ed Iiawson and White Lawson. The White Lawson and Bed Lawson were especially good. The Chicago Carnation Co. staged a splendid vase of Aristocrat, much bet- ter than was shown at Toronto; also 100 magnificent blooms of White Perfection and 100 good Bed Biding Hood. This is not an exhibition sort but Mr. Pyfer says is a free bloomer. Their fine En- chantress were weak in stem, as in many other exhibits. Daybreak Lawson and Variegated Lawson completed their table. J. A. Budlong had a table of up-to- date commercial varieties, including Car- dinal, Lady Bountiful, Nelson Fisher, Enchantress, Lawson and White Law- son. Jensen & Dekema had some good blooms of Boston Market, Victory, Mrs. Patten, Enchantress and Lady Bounti- ful. Anton Then staged his variegated seedling, Winnemac; also Harlowarden, Enchantress, Mrs. E. A. Nelson, Law- son, White Lawson and Lady Bounti- ful. John Then is a chip off the old block. Peter Beinberg had Enchantress, Lawson, Lady Bountiful and Bobert Craig, all good commercial stock. W. N. Budd brought his red, No. 16802a, which has size, lorm and espe- cially good color. Bassett & Washburn set up a splen- did vase of their red, No. 20. It is better than when shown at Toronto, where it won the large medal, and at- tracted as much comment as anything in the hall. John Beardon brought red sport of Lawson which originated with him and which it has pleased his employer, M. A. Byerson, to name for himself. H. N. Bruns brought a bunch of fine valley. E. F. Winterson is entitled to special mention for the work he did in provid- ing vases, tables, etc., for so much stock. Easter plants, with an address by J. S. Wilson, will be the feature of the March meeting. The Winandy Sale. Thursday, February 14, the referee in bankruptcy confirmed the sale of the Winandy equities and personal property to Arthur B. Dietsch on his bid of $4,500. Mr. Dietsch states that he will conduct the establishment until ho can find a purchaser at a satisfactory price. The houses are now planted to lettuce and carnations and good crops are said to be in sight for spring. One of the trustees states that the purchase price will not cover the costs which have accrued since the petition in bankruptcy was filed. He states that outstanding accounts of the trustees must be scaled ten to fifteen per cent and possibly more. The Harttborne Fund. At the club meeting last week P. J. Hauswirth reported that the Hartshorne benefit fund now amounts to $1,250 or $1,300. Of this $325 was subscribed at the time of the S. A. F. convention; $500 was realized from the flower booth at the last Chicago show. At Toronto J. A. Valentine brought up the subject and C. W. Ward gave his check for $100. W. S. Kasting took the matter up then and there and secured $275. While this is quite a sum, Mrs. Harts- horne is left with five children, the mmmmmmm^ Febbuaey 21, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 1015 LONGinORlMS FOR EASTER Our reputation for having the BEST LILIES is because all our lilies are shipped in the original packages, packed at the greenhouses, thus avoiding bruising by second handling, and because they are from the most expensive bulbs, grown by the most careful growers.

It is hoped to secure enough to invest so that Mrs. Hartshorne will have a regular income from it. Various Notes. Anton Then is at Magnolia Springs, Ala,, in the hope of benefiting his health through the medicinal waters there. He was in a bad way just be- fore the holidays, and will oe absent until toward Easter. W. L. Kroeschell, of the Kroeschell Bros. Co., attended the convention of the Society of Southern Florists at New Orleans last week. P. J. Hauswirth will be one of the judges at the exhibition of the Ameri- can Rose Society in Washington, March 13 to 15. J. S. Dekema is now located at Los Angeles and reports the climate benefit- ing his health materially. J. C. Bruchner has removed from 35 Monroe street to 639 West Sixty-ninth street, where he has a large store in a good neighborhood. The Foley Mfg. Co. is experiencing some of the troubles of the car short- age. They were held up six or eight weeks in getting the heavy timbers for the new factory. They do not now ex- pect to be moved to the new location before some time in April. Friday, February 22, is a legal holi- day, with but one mail delivery. Wire your orders. P. Broadbeck, at Evanston, has had a' light cut of roses this season partly be- cause he put in cement benches last summer and did not get replanted until September. He has consigned to the Kennicott Bros. Co. steadily for four- teen years. Miss Nina M. Howard, the violet grower at dencoe, in common with others has had crops below normal this season. She is retailing her flowers this season. Theodore Fehrmann, of Niles Center, is busy erecting greenhouses on the lots recently purchased in Irving Park and shortly will remove there. The marriage of Matilda Graff and Herman Landfield will take place at the Unity club. Thirty-first street and Indi- ana avenue, Sunday afternoon. The bride is the sister of Will and Sam Graff, who do a prosperous business at Columbus. Both are here to attend the wedding. Will having brought his fam- ily. Sam Graff will be best man and his sister, Emma, maid of honor. The floral decorations will be worthy of special notice. Sweet peas are one of the items which are not in large receipt, for not many growers are yet ready to cut, but E. C. Amling has had pink and white for sev- eral weeks. He expects other colors soon. Percy Jones notes that whereas Des- plaines is no longer able to produce violets of a quality to be profitable, Park Bidge growers do well with them. At J. A. Budlong's they are grafting quite a lot of roses for next season. Grafted stock has done well this year and now is looking fine. Weiland & Risch say that although roses are now plentiful Killarney is hold- ing its own. E. F. Winterson says the volume of sales is all right but he hates to see prices go all to pieces the first time this year the growers really have anything to sell. Zech & Mann say shipping trade is holding up well in spite of reports of large supplies in other cities to which they ship. John Poehlmann, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., says that it will not be long be- fore Beauties will join the procession in quantity. Antirrhinum is a specialty with them this week. Joseph Foerster, sales manager for George Reinberg, says Lent has not af- fected demand to any appreciable extent but that evidently the out-of-town grow- ers, as well as those here, are cutting heavier than they were, calls running largely to special items. John Muno says he has had splendid results this season in rooting carnation cuttings. When he started in the busi- ness, twenty years or so ago, he did not know how to make a rose cutting, but when P. Blameuser showed him he rooted ninety-five per cent of Mermet his first season. Michael Fink has sold his business, at 2211 Cottage Grove avenue, to Albert Klitz, who takes possession at once. Joe Phillips will continue in the place as Mr. Klitz 's assistant. Mr. Fink will move to the north side and assist his father in the Herndon street store. The dealers in rooted cuttings report an average demand, with little call for the common sorts of carnations, but a demand for Enchantress which is some- thing phenomenal. With more Enchant- ress in the market than any other vari- ety, it looks as though all the growers 10)6 The Weekly Florists' Review* February 21, 1907. were increasing their plantings for next year. A. C. Spencer, of Peter Eein- berg's, says Lawson also is selling well with them and Nelson Fisher in better demand than ever. N. J. Wietor, of "Wietor Bros., reports an exceptional call for Lady Bountiful. O. P. Bassett has cabled the safe ar- rival of Mrs. Bassett and himself in Europe. C. L. "Washburn was at Madi- son Monday evening visiting his son. Vaughan & Sperry report that Wednes- day, February 13, was the best business day the firm ever has experienced, except the day before Christmas, 1906. Charles Dressier, of Wietor Bros. ' city staff, is doing jury service this week. The A. L. Randall Co. reports hav- ing handled 277,500 violets Isist week, most of them Monday and Wednesday before St. Valentine's day. C. M. Dickinson, manager at E. H. Hunt's, says the call for bone meal and sheep manure is breaking all records this season. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. PoUworth, of Mil- waukee, came down Saturday to spend a few days with friends here. Those who went to the State Florists' Association's meeting at Bloomington Tuesday morning were: George Keller, August Poehlmann, J. S. Wilson, George Asmus, H. Hasselbring, P. J. Hauswirth, J. P. Foley, W. N. Rudd, L. H. Win- terson, C. S. Stewart, F. J. Hartwick, and H. C. Lenington. VAYSIDE NOTES. J. Horn & Bro., of Allentown, Pa., are strong advocates of cement benches with walls about two feet high, plenty of drainage and ventilation. All their car- nations are grown in this manner and give even better returns than when grown in the old way. Ernest Ashley, of Allentown, has a neat little store downtown and says it keeps all hands busy between the two places. Thomas Love, of Bethlehem, Pa., has the annual order to decorate the churches here at Easter and is preparing a batch of flowering stock for the purpose. The lily question wih be a problem from now on and an unknown quantity for Easter. William Walke, of Salem, Mass., has a fine, but irregular, batch. The only true stock seems to be gigan- teum and candidum. Thomas Roland, at Nahant, William Edgar, at Waverley, and A. Leuthy, at Roslindale, are carrying choice lots of flowering plants for the Easter market. Lilies will be scarce in many localities. Fred Vetter, grower at the Hoffman place, at Mount Auburn, pointed out some multiflorums that have stem-rot; it shows as a dark ring above the sur- face of the soil, becoming hard and finally causes the plant to drop over. Many are affected this way, apparently quite healthy otherwise. This is the first time he has noticed it. Harrisii generally seem freer from disease than of late years, but the number of blooms seems to be getting more beautifully less. McGee, Geary & Co., of Salem, re- port an increasing demand for old-fash- ioned flowers, something different from the stereotyped roses and carnations. The scarcity of these staples has afford- ed the opportunity to push bulbous stock, which has helped wonderfully this season. J. M. Ward, of Salem, is much inter- ested in toe Imperial carnation and, as IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF Good Stock We are fully confident that we are in a position to fill your wants m^FM ^^ Because we carry the kind of stock that you are looking for* ^/^ n ir # 3S ^c make a specialty of producing high-grade stock of all kinds, being strong in CARNATIONS AND ROSES In addition to the cutting of a choice line of stock from our own large green- houses, we also handle the production of a number of the best growers in this city» thereby placing us in a position to fill all orders in a very satisfactory manner, as a trial order will convince you.

Bulb Stock, Greens AND ALL CUT FLOWERS IN SEASON J.R.BUDLONG 37-39 Randolph Street, CHICAGO. Roses and Carnations A Specialty. WHOLESALE GROWER Of GUT FLOWERS he is a most successful grower, it will stand an excellent chance. Fisher's Bea- con has a big reputation here. M. B. Bunker, also of Salem, was put- ting the finishing touches to a handsome wreath, composed of bronze galax leaves studded with short-stemmed Beauty and valley. A bunch of pansies carelessly arranged on the left-hand side gave it a choice eflfect. Chatterton Warburton, of Fall River, placed a big order for the new carna- tion, Winsor, when in Toronto. We met Mr. Cruickshank, of Rennie & Thomson, who reported very satisfactory business for the new house. With the increase in values of real estate Fred Becker, of Cambridge, has for some time had under advisement the pulling down of his plant and building an up-to-date store with a showhouse. Retail business has increased rapidly. At one time Mr. Becker did the banner wholesale trade of this section and will be remembered as the boomer of the well-famed Nephrolepis Bostoniensis, which he justly claims has merit that will keep it at the head of all rivals. Dan Murphy, of W. E. Doyle's of Cambridge, says there is going to be a big scarcity of geraniums this season. Prospective stocks are low and the out- look for bedding plants is large. Cannas will be a feature and to some extent will help out the shortage. W. M. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Business last week was reported good. St. Valentine's day was much letter than last year. The first few days of Lent have had some effect on business. Stock is coming in more freely than it has for some time, and the local trade is looking for a big glut in almost every- thing by the end of the week, and espe- cially if the fine, warm weather con- tinues. Roses have been scarce for six weeks^ but now are arriving in large lots and prices are down; fancy stock brings $& to $10 per hundred. There are none too many extra long Beauties; plenty of other grades, but mostly deformed. Carnations sell well and quantities of fine blooms are coming in every morn- ing. The prices Monday morning were still high, but we look for a big crop- by the end of the week. More Enchan- tress than any of the others are coming in. All wholesale houses are loaded with them. Violets, too, are arriving in in- creased quantities and the price on them' already is down to 40 cents per hun- dred. A fine lot of bulbous stock is coming in of late. The price on these is as- usual at this time of the year. Not many Harrisii are coming. ■T™'"'Tr.-3yi^j-»-(B^Trr-]P'«(^:;7' FKBBUABY 21, 1907.

The carnation meeting of the Florists' Club, held Thursday afternoon, Febru- ary 14, was one of the largest attended in many months. The carnations were numerous and many extra fine blooms were exhibited by our local growers, as well as outsiders. The exhibitors from outside were H. Weber & Son, Oakland, Md., a fine vase of Mabelle; F. R. Pier- son, Tarrytown, N. Y., a large vase of Winsor; Baur & Smith, Indianapolis, Ind., a vase of their new light pink, May; Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., Aristocrat; John E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa., John E. Haines and Pink Imperial, A. C. Brown, Springfield, 111., was pres- ent and looked after his fine exhibition of seedlings, which attracted a great deal at attention. J. F. Ammann, Edwards- ville, had Lady Bountiful, Enchantress, Mrs. Patten and Lawson. Henry Johan, CoUinsville, 111., had two fine vases of Enchantress and Cardinal. Among the local growers John Steidle exhibited Rose-pink Enchantress, Nelson Fisher, Cardinal, Mrs. Patten and Lady Bountiful. A. Jablonsky staged Robert Craig, Enchantress, Aristocrat, White Perfection, Mrs. Patten, Rose-pink En- chantress and ijady Bountiful. Mr. Braun, foreman for Adolph Brix, staged a fine vase of MrS. Lawson. William Winter showed fine vases of Cardinal and Lady Bountiful. The Oakland Floral Co., Kirkwood, a vase of En- chantress and Mrs. Lawson. The meeting was called to order by President Irish, with all the ofiicers and sixty members present. Chairman F. A. Weber, of the flower show committee, made a lengthy report and ended by saying that, owing to the divided opin- ion on this proposition, the committee advised the club to drop the subject of a flower show, and the club so voted, Pierre Schneider, of the Oakland Floral Co., Kirkwood, and Henry Niemeyer, also of Kirkwood, were elected to mem- bership. The club voted to subscribe $100 to the National Flower Show to be held in Chicago in 1908. J. F. Am- mann, president of the Illinois State Florists ' • Association, invited the mem- bers to attend the second annual meet- ing February 19 and 20, at Blooming- ton, 111. The chair appointed A. C. Brown, F. J. Fillmore and F. C. Weber to act as judges on carnations. The decisions were as follows: Twenty-five red, Wm. Winter first, Cardinal; John Steidle second, also Car- dinal; A. Jablonsky third, with Robert Oraig. xwenty-five light pink, Oakland Floral Co. first; A. Jablonsky second, both with Enchantress. Twenty-five rose-pink, John Steidle, first; A.

The Market We have had some let-up in wintry conditions and the milder weather has considerably increased the supply of flowers. Business, however, for Lent, remains quite good. Valentine's day saw a strong demand for violets and the market generally was good. Ameri- can Beauties remain up to top notch figures and are still scarce, especially the better grades. Richmond meets a good sale at slightly lower prices. While more Bride, Maid, Wellesley, Killarney and other sorts are coming in and prices have weakened a little, there has been as yet no surplus. Violets are arriving in heavy quanti- ties, but have sold fairly well, singles, as usual, taking the lead. Sweet peas bring an average of $1 per hundred. Carnations are more plentiful and rather lower. The quality of these is extra good at present. The increased amount of sunlight has improved the stems. Golden Spur narcissi make $3 per hundred, double Von Sions $2. Tulips keep about the same. Callas and Easter lilies are rather more plentiful. Hya- cinths make 75 cents and $1 per dozen stalks, but are not in much demand. Some nice mignonette, English prim- roses and antirrhinum are coming in. Valley is of fine quality and meets with a steady sale. In orchids, cattleyas are growing scarce. Dendrobiums nobile and Wardianum and Coelogyne cristata are, however, in good supply. Club Meeting. The meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists ' Club at Horticultural hall again drew a big attendance February 19, about 150 being present. The executive committee met many growers who use steam heat prior to the regular meeting and discussed the threatened legislation.

E. Palmer as ''chairman was appointed to attend the sessions at the state house and give evidence before the commit- tees if necessary. It was announced that the Boston Market Gardeners' As- sociation has appointed a committee to oppose the proposed legislation. Charles W. Ross, of Newton, the lec- turer of the evening, was unable to at- tend, but sent an interesting and prac- tical paper on "Road Construction," read by James Morton Strong, which the members greatly enjoyed. A good dis- cussion followed. The membership was further swollen by the addition of eleven new members. It was announced that at the next meeting carnations will be the subject, with a specialist as lecturer. The landscape classes, it was stated, are making excellent headway and members are now engaged in drawing plans. There was an unsually fine lot of ex- hibits, as follows: Beacon and Evangeline carnations, from Peter Fisher; several vases of car- nations and Violet Boston from S. J. Goddard, also some grand sweet peas which received a report of superior merit for culture; several cattleyas and four varieties of coelogyne from W. N. Craig, fine Harlowarden carnations from Mrs. Snow; seedling carnations from H. A. Stevens Co.; Begonia Erfordii from Thomas Westwood; Primula Kewensis from Thomas Coles received a report of superior merit. President Westwood appointed the following committee on exhibits for the year: Kenneth Finlayson, George An- derson, George C. Harbison, David Lums- den, H. A. Stevens, Mr. Mitchell, A. H. Fewkes, J. W. Duncan, Peter Fisher, R. T. McGorum. A committee consisting of W. N. Craig, John Farquhar and J. W. Dun- can was appointed to prepare resolu- tions on the death of Mrs. Wm. R. Nicholson, Jr., Framingham, which oc- curred February 19, after a short ill- ness. Much sympathy is felt. Tne couple had been married only a year. Refreshments were served as usual, and it was quite late ere the meeting closed. Various Notes. About a dozen members of the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club attended the annual banquet of the North Shore Hor- ticultural Society at Manchester Febru- ary 15 and reported a delightful time. William H. Elliott is on a visit to the West Indies. At present he is in Cuba, but hopes to return in good season for the meeting of the American Rose So- ciety in Washington. We find that the late George A. Suth- erland was an employee of W. J. Stew- art, but not a partner, as stated in last week's notes. The annual spring exhibition of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society will occur March 22 to 24 and promises to be an unusually attractive one. The lecture at Horticultural hall February 16 was by Miss Anne Withing- ton on "Some Aspects of School Gar- dening." In the discussion which fol- lowed Robert Cameron spoke interest- ingly on the practical horticultural edu- cation afforded children in Jamaica, which he considers much in advance of anything we have in the United States. William C. Ward, as usual at this sea- son, is marketing pansies of unusually good quality in large quantities. He has also some extra fine sweet peas. John Barr, of South Natick, while devoting most of his greenhouse space to carnations, has produced some hun- dreds of very fine cyclamens, in the cul- ture of which he is a past master. Few finer violets than those of William Spillsburj-, of Woburn, are seen in the market this season. He grows Princess of Wales exclusively and finds nothing to beat it. John McFarland has a fine house of Brunner roses which he will start cut- ting from in a day or two. He is one of the few growers of hybrid roses for the Boston market. Morris Hambro, late in the flower de- partment at Houghton & Dutton's, will open a store on School street. L. H. Fellows, of Hyde Park, a promi- nent mushroom specialist, is on a visit to Michigan, mushroom spawn selling being his objective. Mr. Fellows has made a good deal of spawn and has great success from its use in his houses. Windows of dendrobiums in Galvin's Tremont street store were features last week. Peirce Bros, will have a larger and finer lot of lilies than ever the coming Easter. The plants are in just the right stage. W. W. Rawson & Co. are experiencing a heavy call for dahlias this season, in which they are now leading specialists. Their manager, Maurice Fuld, is secre- tary of the New England Dahlia So- ciety.

Backer & Co., of Billerica, who are carnation specialists, have many fine seedlings this season, some yellow ones being of special merit. S. J. Goddard had a heavy order for flowers of his carnation, Helen Goddard, for a banquet at the Parker house the past week. W. N. Cbaiq. PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market* It is a buyer's market, with prices receding on all but two or three of the scarcer varieties of flowers. The great- est fall in prices has been on bulbous flowers, which are extremely fine and very plentiful. Buyers who could use these in thousand lots obtained the lowest prices of the season, and the average returns to the growers will be lower than usual at this time of year. Some of the buyers have taken advan- tage of these conditions to use great quantities of Golden Spur, offering them at tempting prices that were little if any above the normal wholesale rates. .Carnations are also much lower than before Lent, the principal decline being on fancy grades. Tea roses, too, are much more plentiful, with prices ruling lower. The other declines most marked are in calla lilies and violets; the latter sold remarkably well up to Ash Wednes- day, but since then have receded in price. The strong features of the list are Beauties, the fancy grades still so scarce that they command extraordi- nary Lenten prices; cattleyas, which have advanced slightly, and greens, smilax and Adiantum Croweanum being in remarkably brisk demand. Return- ing to St. Valentine's, business taken as a whole was disappointing. Myoso- tis, however, sold extraordinarily well, the prices realized being the highest ever recorded, several thousand sprays realizing from $2.50 to $4 per hundred. Indications point to still further de- clines in several varieties of flowers be- fore normal conditions are reestab- lished.

Stokes, the popular and successful head of the S. S. S., which you can read either as Stokes' Seed Store or Stokes' Standard Seeds, ac- cording to the position in which it stands, has just received a new and very interesting importation in the shape of a box of raffiatape, which ap- pears to be an improvement on the common raffia used so extensively for tying plants. Eaffiatape is corrugated, colored green and Mr. Stokes says is cheaper than raffia. It is put up very neatly and so arranged that it may be either used by fastening the reel in the buttonhole or in coils to be put in the pocket. Better see Mr. Stokes about this raffiatape before you tie your lilies. Various Notes. Paul Berkowitz, of the firm of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., returned on Mon- day from a four weeks' trip, which he describes as "extremely cold," though his business friends greeted him most warmly. Businessly speaking, it was the most successful trip the congenial Mr. Berkowitz has ever enjoyed. W. J. Sherry, of the Johnson Seed Co., reports an excellent mail demand for all varieties of seeds. The com- pany's store is a very busy place just now. Robert Craig will be one of the judges at the American Eose Society's exhibition at Washington next month. Walter P. Stokes is delighted with his new truss houses, which stood the great weight of snow without the slightest difficulty. J. Stern has returned from a success- ful business trip this week.

Answers to Correspondents. Review readers are invited to send any ques- tions relating to culture or marketing of plants and flowers In Philadelphia, to Phil, in care of any of the leading seed or commission houses. Each question will be sut)mitted to a competent person and answered under number. Correct name and address must always accompany in- quiry, but will not be published. 70. — Is Philadelphia a good market for field-grown asters which would be three weeks earlier than those grown near Philadelphia? Ans. — Yes. 71. — What varieties are most profita- ble? Ans. — I would suggest Queen of the Market for early, and Semple's for late. 72. — What color would bring most money? Ans. — White. 73. — If variety of color, what propor- tion of each color should be used? Ans. — Try one-third white, and one- sixth each of lavender, purple, pink and red. 74. — What prices usually rule, and what length stems? Ans. — From 50 cents to $1.50 a hun- dred; occasionally $2 for fancy stock, when in demand. The length of stem is usually from twelve to eighteen inches. 75. — Would fieM-grown longiflorum or Harrisii lilies find ready sale, and at what price per flower or stalk? Ans. — I would not consider these as particularly good risks, owing to their being easily bruised. The price per flower, when sold, would probably ne from $3 to $5 per hundred. Phil. QNQNNATL The Market Fine bright weather is working won- ders in the way of bringing out the quality and quantity of flowers. There has been a marked improvement during the last week. Eoses are showing up the best, with carnations a close sec- ond. While the supply has not increased greatly still it is possible to take good care of all orders without much trouble. Bulbous stock is still doing first-rate. Other varieties of flowers are in good supply and going nicely. Violets are none too plentiful.

It would seem that the people take on themselves a special degree of piety dur- ing the first weeks of lent, but the pres- sure is too great and it usually wears off after a couple of weeks and then business begins to move about as usual. The fact that flowers are not overplenti- ful has taken away what depressing ef- fect the beginning of Lent usually brings. The great amount of funeral work has also helped things greatly. Paul Berkowitz was a caller. C. J. Ohmer. The Greenhouse Structural Co. has leased the building in 840 West Fourth street. The building is a two-story structure on a lot 22x88 feet to an alley. The annual rental is $480. Eobert Boeck, 61 years old, whose greenhouses are in Hyde Park, was thrown down and dragged by his horse. He was badly cut up and one leg was so seriously injured that the bone pro- truded through the flesh. With remark- able fortitude he crawled around until he found two pieces of lumber, that he used as crutches, and hobbled back to the house. Dr. Arthur Brown and another surgeon were called and they declared the old man's feat in floundering home on the two boards, with both legs mangled, was one of the most remarkable displays of fortitude which had ever come under their notice. They found him calmly smoking his pipe in bed, with his pet dogs near. PLANT FOR NAME. I enclose a small plant. Can you tell me if it belongs to, or is a fern? If so, please give name and class. We are somewhat divided in opinion and want the opinion of one versed in such. L. A. The specimen received is one of the selaginellas, a genus closely allied to the mosses and embracing several hundred varieties. As near as we can determine, the specimen being somewhat withered, this species is the old and well-known Selaginella denticulata, which succeeds well under benches or in any damp and shady location under glass. In sunshine the plant turns more ruddy in appear- ance. The variety S. uncinata, or csesia, is of a metallic blue color, forming trail- ing shoots one and a half to two feet loug and makes a pretty basket plant. C.W. NET YORK. Tlie Market Winter's reign continues, with inter- vals of springlike temperature. For in- stance, Sunday was warm and sunny. At midnight the temperature had fallen 30 degrees and Monday was back to frost. Easter is only five weeks away. The auctioneer oiling his pipes for an early March sale and the busy seedsmen are all consoling features, for they are sure harbingers of the merry springtime. The sun last week did effective work. We hear of no shortage of anything; in fact, shipments were heavy and prices much lower as last week drew to a close. Saturday evening, the day of large de- liveries and market cleaning, saw no improvement. Like the inevitable Jan- uary thaw came the February slump and now values have resumed their normal state and are back to the plane of other years at this season. The supply this week will be large. The quality of every- thing is superb and if the general re- tail business will show some snap and life all will be well. There are plenty of balls, weddings and funerals. One retailer had three balls in a single day, a rather significant number, but not an insignificant achieve- ment. Then, too, according to the man who knows Wall street, the market there is more cheerful and prices are advanc- ing, so the flower market should demon- strate elation without delay. Nobody seems to notice Lent. Why flowers and pure and undefiled religion should not go hand in hand it would take the man who quotes from Genesis or one of the old and wornout prophets to explain. Beauties do not go above $9 per dozen these days, many of the best at $5 a dozen. Brides and Maids are down to $12 per hundred for the finest. Thou- sands are closed out at $10 and so on down to $2 for No. 2.

VAUGHAN & SPERRY, 58-60 Wabash Ave., CHICAGO Mention The Review when you write. from Anton Schultheis, of College Point. When the street merchants have vio- lets, and good ones, at * ' twenty-five a bunch," ribbons and perfume included, you can imagine how many surplus boxes are arriving daily. Even the choicest in 100-bunch selections did not reach $1. Violets sold as low as 20 cents last week and carnations at 50 cents per hundred. Orchids hold steady, thanks to out-of- town demands in addition to a city trade that now is stable and growing uni- versal. A florist here who does not handle orchids is behind the procession and is likely to stay there. Tulips are a drug; too many alto- gether for comfort. Lots of them un- salable. Narcissi are quite as abundant, making windows wonderfully springlike at small cost. There is no excuse for stinted display or wisdom in careless- ness as to daily redecoration of the re- tail windows. Various Notes. Fred Breitmeyer, of Detroit, was a visitor February 16 and under the care of Frank Traendly seemed quite at home in the wholesale district. He tells me La Detroit is queen of the pink roses in his city and Bridesmaids are not called for. He promises a fine exhibit at the Washington rose show, Myer is having a busy season at 609 Madison avenue, and has had many notable weddings since the new year be- gan. The daily New York papers have itemized his artistic work and given him much praise for unique and beautiful effects. The last wedding of note was the Morgan-Pruyn decoration a week ago, where laurel and bay trees were used extensively and originally to the satisfaction of all concerned. Myer is rapid in his progress and has a finely decorated store, quite up-to-date in every way. Alex McConnell has issued a neat pamphlet entitled "How to Cultivate and Care for Decorative Plants for Adornment of Your City and Suburban Homes." It is a complete condensation of instruction that cannot fail to be of practical service to his customers. Every retailer might well copy this plan of generous advertising.

There are six of them, thoroughly up-to-date, built to last a century, with tile benches and every modem improvement. A large packing shed adjoins the range and ample provision has been made for steady yearly additions to the plant.

Charles Schenck, of Traendly & Schenck, was married last Tuesday even- ing to Miss E. Pachner, of this city, the ceremony taking place in Tuxedo hall, which was elaborately decorated for the occasion by Warendorflf. The honey- moon was spent in the south and the best wishes of the trade are extended to the happy couple. The Bloomingdale 's floral department, under the superintendency of Mr. Burn- ham, will add several thousand square feet of glass this spring, making this plant the largest roof garden of its kind on the continent.

His conservatories are always filled with the best in the market and he thinks five weeks are all too short in which to prepare for the coming avalanche of orders, J. K. Allen's 6 o'clock stunt is grow- ing easier every morning, as the days grow longer, but winter and summer make no change in his early devotions. He boasts a record of never having kept a grower waiting for his check every Tuesday for nearly twenty years. Jas. Hart, the veteran, has been under the weather with grip. Like the rest of them he is preparing for a big plant Easter and has a large enough store to make this a successful adjunct to his cut flower trade. H. E. Froraent reports a trade quite the equal of last year's aggregate to date, with stock more abundant and of better quality than at any time since Christmas, especially in roses, of which he has a large supply. W. H. Donohoe has one of the big- gest weddings in his experience this week, using quantities of American Beauties in the decoration. Mr. Dono- hoe has fully recovered from his recent illness. David Clarke's Sons say the season has exceeded all years to date and have forgotten what a dull day means. Young & Nugent, on West Twenty- eighth street, are at all times careful of unique window decoration, enhanced at night by novel lighting effects.

The mystery as to the selection and whether the orator be Eobert Craig, Chauncey Depew, Del- mas, of California, Gurney Hill, or Luther Burbank, must remain in doubt until President Totty sees fit to reveal it.

The secretary of the New England Dahlia Society reports that the member- ship is constantly increasing and that the society has now so well progressed that the executive committee at the last meeting decided to issue a monthly bul- letin t^ginning with March, which shall be called the Dahlia News. It will con- tain each month at least one article by some renowned grower of dahlias, on their cultivation or their peculiarities. It will also contain the dahlia news of the world, inform the members what is going on, give descriptions of the new varieties that are introduced and, in gen- eral, supply the information that the dahlia growers are looking for. The last page of this paper is given up to advertising and returns for the same are expected to pay for the cost of publishing. We feel that the society will out-rival in membership any of the others of the same nature in this coun- try or Europe, as we expect a member- ship of fully 1,000 by the end of the year. We have now members residing in every state in the Union and the in- terest given to the dahlia at large is surprising. The secretary of the New England Dahlia Society would appreciate it if the secretaries of the different horti- cultural societies would inform him of the dates of their shows, where dahlias are included, so the members may be informed of it and exhibit wherever and whenever possible. All growers of dahlias should join the society at once in order to get the benefit which a membership will give. Maukice Fuld, Sec'y. MOLINE, ILL. The Tri-City Florists' Club met Feb- ruary 14 with William Knees, at his new greenhouses. An enjoyable meet- ing, both from a business standpoint and socially, was held. F. W. Gardner, of Ionia, Mich., representative of the Ionia Pottery Co., was present. Mr. Knees' new greenhouses, which have just been completed and are now ready to be used for early spring plants, were inspected. The topic that came up for discussion at the business session was ' * Hotbeds, and the Best Plants to Eaise in Them." A lengthy discussion of the subject took place. Ed Patton, who has charge of the greenhouses of Mrs. Waltmann in the western part of the city, gave a fare- well talk, intending to leave for Cali- fornia March 1, taking up new work. The Tri-City Florists' Club is plan- ning for a banquet, to be made an an- nual affair. It will be held at the St. James hotel, and will probably take place some time in March. The arrange- ments are in the hands of a committee consisting of Adolph Arp, of Davenport, William Knees, of Moline, and Ludwig Stapp, of Rock Island. A special meet- ing will be held at Fejervary park, Feb- ruary 28, and the report of the com- mittee given. A luncheon and refreshments were served by the host at the close of the meeting. LOBELIA KATHLEEN MALLARD. A European correspondent writes: "The American trade cannot do better than take up the new double lobelia, Kathleen Mallard. It is of the most in- tense azure blue and makes one of the most charming pot plants you can imag- ine, being absolutely one mass of bloom so as to completely cover all the foliage and, with a scarcity of fine blue plants suitable for pots, has proved one of the very best selling in England in 1906. Cuttings, struck in February in a warm house, potted on when rooted, grown in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees and plenty of air, result in beautiful, com- pact little plants by May. It is just the thing for small fancy vases for table decoration and if kept pinched and potted on into 5-inch pots by June and July you will have something extra, and a ready seller." •Ji 'V'""'."'

Beckert, Allegheny, Pa., has a long red forcing radish which he calls Cincinnati Market because originally ob- tained from those who grew it for the purpose indicated. The man who grows fancy stock ought to trademark his cases; it will be worth money to him to have his stock easily distinguishable from the com- mon run in wholesale markets. The Keene is a heading variety of lettuce which originated near Eochester, N. Y., and is used extensively in that locality, both for forcing and for early spring planting in the open. James Vicks's Sons say they think highly of it and that it is so early that it may be marketed weeks ahead of Boston Forcing and other popular market sorts. VEGETABLE MARKETS.

STARTING VEGETABLE PLANTS Pricking Off. Previous to pricking off, the flats in which the plants are to be put should be got ready. In making them the grower will have to be governed by the class of trade he means to supply. If wholesale, it is immaterial what size the flats are, so long as they are of an easily handled size, as the plants will have to be taken from the flats for convenience in ship- ping. But with a local trade they gen- erally take better as they stand in the flats. In this case it is better to have the flats just the size to hold a certain number. Small flats could be constructed that would hold one dozen, others, a dozen and a half, and others, two dozen plants. A cheap, light box can be constructed of lath. A flat four laths wide, two laths deep and twelve inches long will accommodate one dozen plants. The laths can be spaced a little, which helps to add to the size. This is for tomatoes and plants of like size.

Mention The Review when you write. made of %-inch material, which gives something to nail to and makes a nice, stiff flat. For eighteen plants the flat can be increased in length and the same material will suit, but for larger flats than this heavier material is needed. The time at which the plants are ready for pricking out will depend to a considerable extent on how thickly they have come up in the seed pans. If there is no danger of their becoming crowded and drawn by being too thick, it is all right to let them remain until they have made the first rough leaves. But should there be danger of crowding or drawing, they will have to be han- dled at an earlier stage, though there is always a larger percentage of loss when the plants are handled small, as the operation is more delicate and the plants more susceptible to injury. The soil used should be of a free, rather light, nature with little or no manure. As a short, stocky growth is desired, an overrich soil should be avoided. A poor soil, however, would be benefited by the addition of some old, well-decomposed manure. The soil should be in a moderately moist condi- tion, so that only a sprinkling is neces- sary after the plants are set. If a heavy watering were necessary the soil would be rendered too wet and heavy, which would considerably deter the starting of the little plants. Shade from the direct rays of the sun should be provided for a few days fol- lowing the setting out, as the little plants would wilt and suffer until they have had time to make fresh roots in their new quarters. Vegetable plants are better divided into two divisions as regards the tem- perature in which they should be grown. Tomatoes, egg plants, peppers and plants of this class should be grown in a night temperature of 55 to 60 degrees, while cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, etc., will make better plants if grown 10 degrees lower. We too often see them all grown in one house, where an intermediate temperature is maintained, with the re- sult that none of them are doing really 1028 The Weekly Florists^ Review* PHBBUARy 21, 1907. ■well. They should be grown in separate houses, if possible; but if this cannot be done, there is usually a difference in temperature in the different ends of the house. So by putting the tenderest plants at the warm end and vice versa, they can be helped considerably. As the season advances and the tem- perature rises it does not make such a great deal of difference, as the plants are then well under way, and if the con- ditions are a little adverse they are bet- ter able to stand it. The most critical time is the first few weeks after trans- planting; so conditions should be made as favorable as possible for them during that time. "Watering must be judiciously don© through the whole course of their growth, especially in the earlier stages. While the plants are still small and un- able to absorb much moisture there is always danger of souring the soil if water is indiscriminately applied. Later, when the flats are full of roots, it is hard to overdo the watering, especially during bright weather; but care must be taken that they do not suffer from the want of it. W. S. Ceoydon.

You say in your paper that he uses 1-inch pipe; but please state how far apart he puts the pipe. One pipe surely does not sterilize a bed six- teen feet wide and 150 feet long. When is the best time to do this, in the fall or just before you set out a crop of let- tuce in the winter? We have been changing our soil every two or three years, but lately this has not done much good. We take out about three to four inches of soil. S. F. Co. The pipes should be laid about three feet apart the whole length of the bed to insure thorough sterilization. It does not matter a great deal when the opera- tion is done, but the nearer the time of planting, the better, as then you are sure that all insect and fungus life is destroyed when you do plant. W. S. C. AN ILLINOIS ESTABLISHMENT. The vegetable-growing plant of George G. Whitcomb, Streator, 111., has some interesting features. Besides the boiler-room and a packing house 20x50, there is a propagating house 12x90 and eight greenhouses, each 15x300. The steam heating plant was installed by Wood, Mulford & Co. and was completed a few weeks ago. It has been put to a severe test and has given er.tire satis- faction. During the recent cold spell, when the mercury was at zero and be- low, even when a stiff northwest wind was blowing, the temperature inside was easily kept at 80 degrees. The two eighty-horsepower boilers are on the ground level. The system is high and low pressure, so that, while from twenty-five to sixty pounds pressure of steam may be carried on the boilers, the reducer lunits the pressure on the pipes to from two to ten pounds. In the en- tire system, exclusive of the main header, which is 8-inch pipe, there are seven miles of 1%-inch pipe. The steam, after coming through the reducers from the boilers, goes into the main header, which nms across the front of the entire es- tablishment. At the end of each house is a trap. The steam as it condenses is forced through these traps into the re- turns under the buildings, and is carried back to a pump in the boiler room, where it is automatically pumped into the boilers again, thus keeping the heat- ing pipes free from water. The mechanical watering system is fed from a 1,000-gallon tank stationed above the boilers. These warm the water in the tanks by means of a coil connection, provision being made to let in cold water if need be to reduce the temperature. In this system there are 3,000 feet of galvanized iron pipe with small spray nozzles three feet apart in the pipe. Cucumbers are to be the principal crop, but next season lettuce will pre- cede the cucumbers and tomatoes also will be grown. The first crop is now going to the Chicago market and bring- ing good prices. Fairhaven, Mass. — S. S. Peckham has sold out his retail business at New Bedford and has the intention of grow- ing for the wholesale trade exclusively, at his place here. Sioux Faixs, S. D.— The firm of Nudd & Thomas has been dissolved, J. J. Nudd retiring. The business will be continued by G. A. Thomas under the name of the Thomas Greenhouse. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS.

The market garden trade in the mid- dle west has felt the impetus of a week of fine, springlike weather. There is an inclination at Chicago to branch out and increase the onion set industry the coming season.

Allen, the Long Island cabbage seed grower, is represented on the road by a grandson, who is now calling on the trade in the west. Visited Lawrence, Kan.: — Chas. P. Braslan, San Jose, Cal., enroute home from his annual trip east; T. Geerie, representing Leonard Seed Co.', Chicago. Some of the early catalogues that were minus their usual covers because of the lithographers' strike, are making a reappearance bedecked in all the hues of the rainbow. A. J. Pieters, of the A. J. Pieters Seed Co., Hollister, Cal., finds himself, because of the unusual season, unable to make the contemplated trip among the trade in the east. The Johnson & Musser Seed Co., Los Angeles, Cal.', says that in the last &ve months of 1906 it sold to local garden- ers more than 12,000 pounds of Holland grown spinach seed. The onion seed situation is unchanged. The demand for the Globe varieties is not so brisk as might have been ex- pected, owing, probably, to the depres- sion in the market for onion bulbs. The H. E. Fisk Seed Co., Boston, devotes twenty pages of its first general seed catalogue to plants and tubers, with several pages devoted to roses and a quite complete line of nursery stock. The mail trade from the south has been heavy for some weeks and difl5culty has been experienced in filling orders, owing to the unusually late deliveries of many articles.

The canning business, as with every other large industry, is closely related with other lines. The makers of tin cans, lithographed labels and many other specialties were largely rep- resented. The canners are large buyers of certain lines of seeds. They use thousanpds of bushels of sweet corn, peas and beans and thousands of pounds of such smaller seeds as tomatoes, pump- kins, squash, beets, spinach, etc. The result was the attendance of a large number of seedsmen, some firms having as many as four salesmen present hust- ling for orders, which were booked in greater number and for heavier amounts than usual, so that the seed trade is well satisfied with the 1907 canners' convention. Among the firms represented were: W. W. Barnard Co. and Leonard Seed Co., Chicago; D. M. Ferry & Co., De- troit, Mich.; Everett B. Clark Co., Mil- ford, Conn.; Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y.; S. D. Woodruff & Co., Orange, Conn. ; W. H.

Y.; Rogers Bros., Chaumont, N. Y. ; Cleve- land Seed Co., Avon, N. Y., and Coryell Seed Co. The Jerome B. Rice Seed Co. made a nice display of peas and beans, also onion seed, and booked its usual amount of business. The Leonard Seed Co., Chi- cago, made a larger display than usual, of canners' specialties, mainly stand- ard varieties of tomatoes, beans and peas, and report good bookings of or- ders. D. M. Ferry & Co. had a hand- somely decorated booth, using photo- graphs, seed packets and lithographed labels. Phinney's string bean snipper at- tracted its share of attention.

The seedsmen had no interest in the proceedings of the convention, as no topics relating to seeds were discussed. The most interesting feature to the can- ner was the opportunity presented of getting exact information on the require- ments of the new pure food law, about which all the packers seem to be more or less in doubt.

Because of its adaptability to almost any soil and climate, the gladiolus is deservingly a favorite with all classes of gardeners. Its merit as a cut flower and value as an ornament to the garden are notable. If the spike is cut and placed in water as soon as the first bloom ap- pears, every bud will open fully and last for four to ten days, accoraing to the temperature. By making successive plantings about two weeks apart begin- ning as soon as the ground is thoroughly settled in the spring, one may secure continuous blossoms from early June until frost comes. Although the gladiolus will stand much neglect and yield good results, if proper care is taken it will give results in proportion. Stable manure should be applied to the gladiolus bed in the au- tumn, and the bed should be well spaded and respaded in the spring. Bulbs should be planted from three to four inches deep, according to their size, and should be planted in rows twelve to eighteen inches apart, three to four inches apart in the row, for cutting purposes. Planted in mass for garden show they should be from four to six inches in either direction. Staking is sometimes necessary, especially where high winds prevail, but in most cases if staking is found necessary, says the Na- tional Council of Horticulture, it may be attributed to too shallow planting of the bulbs. TEMPERATURE FOR GLADIOLL I have a few thousand Gladiolus nanus (Blushing Bride and Peach Blossom) planted in flats in a greenhouse. The leaves are now about twelve inches long and are beginning to turn brown and ilry up at the tips, after which the whole loaf soon dies. The bulbs of these are found to be soft and decayed, though they liave roots several inches in length. They have been watered twice with liquid manure. The flats have good drain- nge. The temperature of the house is 65 to 70 degrees. In some flats every plant is aff'ected. Please tell me what is the cause of this and what to do for them. C. H. K.

The bulbs, after being placed in flats, should be started in a cold pit, or house just clear of freezing, and left there until the boxes are well matted with roots. They shouhl never be subjected to a higher winter temperature than 50 degrees at night or failure is certain. These flowers cannot bo forced as are narcissi, tulips and other bulbs. We have several thousands of these which were planted in flats four inches (loop December 5. They are now about three inches high, with the flats full of roots. They will not be introduced into heat for some time yet. We find they are far better when flowered from the last of April to the beginning of June than when an effort is made to force them earlier. We are afraid it is too late to save any of your bulbs and can only ascribe your failure to forcing them too warm. Grown for Memorial day trade, there is no other bulbous plant to equal them, and to bloom them at that date they need no fire heat at any stage of their growth. C. W.

Ferns are my specialty and so I will make a few remarks on them first. The nephrolepis, in all th^ old and new va- rieties, are the most profitabie for the southern florist to grow. My attention was fi#6t called to them some twenty- five years ago when I lived in south Florida where there were hundreds of acres of the N. exaltata growing wild. I started advertising and sold thousands of them all over the United States and Canada. In 1898 I returned to Louisiana and saw that little effort was made here to supply the north with ferns. I at once made this my specialty. Little artificial heat is needed here to grow them. I generally begin the first part of April to move the plants outdoors, either in pots or plant them in the open field without any protection from the sun; but close watch has to be kept over them all summer to keep them well watered. The varieties I grow in the full sun are: N. exaltata, N. compacta, N. tuberosa; N. Bostoniensis, N. Pier- soni, N. elegantissima, N. Barrowsii, N. Whitmani, N. Wittboldi, and N. Wash- ingtoniensis. N, Scottii and N. davallioides and all adiantums and other ferns need slight protection from the sun. A lattice shade giving one-quarter shade and three- quarters sun will make a good protec- tion. By the middle of November they all should be in the house, as about that time we generally have a light frost. Plants growing this way will be full and stocky, and far superior to the northern grown, greenhouse stock, either as plants for decorating or for cutting. Last summer I kept a record on a batch of N. Whitmani and they aver- aged forty runners to a plant in six months. I have shipped them by freight Florists' Flower SeedsX^toVamy Now Ready Tuberous Rooted Begonias Giant Flowered Per doz.

Aquatics. Next in order are the aquatics. AU tender and hardy water lilies can be grown here the year around outdoors, with the least attention. If I could sell, for instance, all the tender water lilies I could produce at $4 per hundred, I would grow nothing else. Some Comparisons. To close, I will make a few remarks on plants in general. Many a good plant you don't see catalogued because it costs too much to keep a suflBcient number of stock plants to propagate •from in the north. In the south it is different. The florists have no trouble to winter over a lot of stock plants and can make cuttings the entire year, and the plants here are often far superior to the northern product. For instance: A. Clerodendron Balfouri rooted in the south from a hard- wood cutting will produce large buncues of flowers in a 2-inch pot, where a plant from a soft cutting growing in the north will not produce a flower under ordinary circum- stances for two years. There are also some plants that are not grown in this country at all and could be, produced in some of the south- ern states, as the Laurus nobilis, the acacia and others. In conclusion I will say that ninety- nine per cent of all plants grown in the north, the south should produce. THE DEATH ROLL. Mrs. Mary Somers. Mary Somers, wife of Harry C.

Ke received a good education and then was apprenticed to a gardener. He came to this country in 1850 and for one year worked at Hunter's Island, Westchester County. Next he went to Annandale, Dutchess County, and entered the em- ploy of John Bard. Mr. Bard was a man of large means who had a splendid country seat on the North river, where he lived a retired life. Mr. Aucock had charge of his farm and garden for ten years. In 1867 Mr. Aucock came to Utica and bought a farm of eighteen acres on the Champlin road, Whitesboro. Here he established a vegetable garden, which he conducted quite successfully for many years. In 1876 he bought the property at 610 Whitesboro street, where he established a greenhouse.

Unsightly objects should be completely covered by a screen of trees and shrubbery. Barns, outbuildings and fences usually do not have much archi- tectural beauty and can easily be hidden from view by proper planting. There is an endless amount of material with which one may work. First of all the foundation of all landscape work is trees. These and the shrubs will form a frame- work for the flowers. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. Recently the grounds of the James- town exhibition of 1907, on the shore of the Hampton Boads, between Norfolk and Fort Monroe, were enclosed by a wire fence stretched on decorative posts. This fence will be covered with flowers and verdure. Twenty thousand rose bushes have been placed along the line of wire, and trumpet-vine and 125,000 honeysuckles have been planted. Before the gates of the exposition open, a thick mass of green commingling with honey- suckle flowers and roses will obscure all outside view. It has been part of the decorative plan evolved by the board of design that native plans should be used as far as pos- sible. Fifty thousand privet cuttings will be used, as well as between 10,000 and 20,000 cuttings of mountain laurel, and willow and miscellaneous collections from old Virginia gardens. Among the large shrubs will be hollies, maples, lo- custs, flowering dogwood, apple and cherry trees, red cedars, paper mulber- ries and water oaks. It has been the design to preserve the natural features of the grounds wherever possible. The portioji of tidewater Virginia, where the exhibition is to be held, is known for the luxuriance with which plants and flo\i'ers grow. POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. The executive committee of the Amer- ican Pomologieal Society has decided to hold the thirtieth biennial meeting of the society on the grounds of the Jamestown Exposition September 25 and 26, 1907. It is a long time since the society met in that region, and this seems an auspicious time for returning to it. The horticultural associations of the immediate section promise to unite in making the convention one of the most memorable in its history. A number of important matters will come before the society at this time. Reports on the grading and inspection of fruits for home distribution and ex- port purposes are due, and the members of the committee having this matter in hand have been working earnestly for the purpose of making a report which i 200,000 Shrubs From 2 to 9 (e«t.

The committee on judging and score cards will add to the reports already presented and include a number of fruits not yet dealt with. The history of fruit growing in this, one of the oldest sections of the coun- try, is exceedingly interesting and car- ries with it many important lessons. This will be presented by competent authorities as time permits. In addi- tion, various matters bearing upon the technical phases of fruit growing will be presented and discussed. The exposition authorities have met us fully half way in the matter, and we shall have ample facilities for holding our meetings and for making a credit- able exhibition. The sessions will be' held in the Convention hall, and the ex- hibit will be staged in th§ interior court of the States Exhibit building. The Society for Horticultural Sci- ence, Dean L. H.

Petersen proprietor, is about to build three greenhouses, each 100 feet long. The Everbest Nursery Co., of Wenat- chee, Wash., has been incorporated with $60,000 authorized capital, by A. Van Holderbeke, J. F. Littoor and J. T. Brown. VICTORIA, B. C During the cold spell in January sev- eral of the fraternity suffered. The thermometer registered 22 degrees of frost, with a strong north wind. As our houses are neither built nor piped for any such weather, lucky indeed was the man who could keep Jack Frost out. To add to our troubles there was a coal and wood famine and an insuffi- ciency of teams. However, we all got through somehow and look forward to a tremendous bedding trade to make up for it. Since the frost the demand for flow- ers has been good. The town is boom- ing and good times are the result. The Victoria Horticultural Society held its annual meeting last week. A strong committee was elected, $150 carried to reserve fund, with a substan- tial balance on hand. This was con- sidered a most satisfactory state of affairs and the society will probably undertake to hold three shows this year instead of the two it held last season. Edw. Alex Wallace, SPOKANE, WASH. Those people who take it for granted that the public taste in floral arrange- ment is not developed on the Pacific cosfit to as discriminative a point as in the east, simply have failed to keep in touch with the progress of the times. The Pacific coast has been favored with as great a degree of prosperity as in other sections of the country. The peo- ple are accustomed to the payment of good prices for good articles, in what- Choice Asparagus Plumosus Seed will not be as plentiful as anticipated earlier in the season and we are compelled to revise our prices to meet the changed conditions.

There are some good stores in many of the northern Pacific coast cities and Spokane has several of them. The ac- companying illustrations are from pho- tographs of the store of the Spokane Florist Co., the manager of which is Miss Amy K. Luffman, who is well known throughout the United States through her several years of service as assistant to the secretary of the S. A. F. at the annual conventions. Her home was in Alabama, but she spent several years in Chicago and on going to Spokane a couple of years ago took a knowledge of floral work which was up to the best practice cf the day and which has been a considerable factor in developing the floral taste of the community.

Daffodils, although in good de- mand, have been in overabundant sup- ply and have been sold wholesale as low as $3 per thousand. Narcissi have been offered at even a less figure, but as the bulk of this popular flower is now cut, it will advance in a few days. Indoor carnations also are gradually lowering in price. The growers have been making efforts to keep the figures as high as they were during December and January, but, owing to the quan- tities being offered, there has been the usual result and prices have decreased considerably. This has not been the result with roses, however, as there has been but a scant supply for several wBeks, with no prospects for any in- crease for another month at least. Some relief from the green goods fam- ine is in sight with the advent of wild maidenhair fern. Adiantum, of all de- scriptions, has been one of the scarcest articles in our category for several months and even asparagus has been al- most impossible to obtain at times, but when the wild fern is in season it will bridge over the time very nicely until we again can get all the tame maidenhair required. Business considering that Lent has commenced is good. Various Notes. P. K.

Complaint is made by the sweet pea growers that the excessive moisture of last month has ruined many of the plant- ings and as a consequence there will be a shortage of early flowers. G. HOLLYHOCKS. The hollyhock is an old garden favor- ite of strong growth and most orna- mental character. A few years ago a disease appeared which made it difficult to grow successfully, but the disease has been controlled and new interest is now being taken in hollyhocks. A large number of named varieties is now cata- logued. Plants which have been grown during the winter in pots under glass should be available for planting out in the spring and should be moved as soon as the soil is moderately warm and in good workable condition. Their culti- vation is simple and they should bloom early. Where the weather is cool they will continue to bloom for many weeks, but hot weather shortens their flowering period. The hollyhocks are grown in both the single and double forms and there are many varieties to select from. Within the last few years, says the Na- tional Council of Horticulture, a strain has been developed which will bloom the first year from seed. By starting them in March and giving attention to cul- ture flowers should be had in ten to fifteen weeks. These plants can be treated as annuals. To raise plants for flowering next spring, sow seed in August and when the plants are a few inches high trans- plant them to small pots or set them out in a coldframe. Water should be given as needed and good drainage sup- plied. If the plants are in pots, put them first in 2-inch pots and transplant to 3-inch or 4-inch pots three or four weeks later. They will be protected in the frame in the winter months and will be in excellent condition to set out in the early spring. SCALE ON NEPHROLEPIS. What is the remedy for a hard, brown scale that infests ferns and other plants? My ferns are infested just now. I have tried cutting them down, but I have one large one that I do not want to cut. I enclose sample. E. D. The portion of a nephrolepis frond that was enclosed with this query showed plainly that the plant in question was badly infested with the common brown scale, or turtle scale, as this pest is frequently termed. The best treatment would be to first cut off the worst fronds, and then dip in tobacco solution. Or, if the plant is too large to be dipped conveniently, lay it on its side and syringe thoroughly with the tobacco solution. A solution of one part of Rose Leaf extract of tobacco to fifty parts of water will an- swer, but may need to be applied sev- eral times in order to kill all the in- sects. It is best to protect the plant from the sun during the time the tobacco treatment is being given, or the tips of the fronds may suffer. W. H. Taplin. i#^,aa»« m < ^ * ^' i ■: >> '' } .

Qub Meetins* At the well-attended February meet- ing of the Springfield Florists' Club, Assistant Postmaster O. F. Serviss gave an interesting and instructive off- hand talk on postal matters, touching upon numerous questions of importance to the catalogue florists. Mr. Serviss stated that in the last eight or ten years the receipts of the Springfield post-oflBce have doubled, at- tributing this fact to the enormous growth of outputs in catalogues and products of the various greenhouses in the line of plants, seeds and bulbs. It was recommended that whenever one-third of a sack or more of mail for any one state is ready to forward, noth- ing for any other state be put into the same sack, provided, however, that the post-oflfice furnish an adequate supply of sacks, which is not always possible. The abolition of the back stamp was favored by the speaker as well as by practically everybody present. A more equitable adjustment of post- • age rates between second, third and fourth-class matter was advocated, and Mr. Serviss recommended that facts and figures be collated as to the amount of postal business done in the aggregate by local florists, and that the matter be pre- sented in due form to our congressman. The entire postal system is conceded to be built upon quite antiquated lines and a committee of congress haa the matter under consideration with a view to thoroughly modernizing the department. At the close of this excellent talk Mr. Serviss volunteered to answer questions, or to meet with the club again at any time, and he was interrogated by vari- ous members as to means of correcting mailing lists and various other subjects. A vote of thanks was then tendered to the speaker and a committee appointed to take in hand the suggestions made, the committee consisting of Geo. H. Mel- len, HaJry Good and "William Reeser. Leman Bradford, of The Springfield Floral Co., was missing from this ipeet- ing, owing to a superior attraction in the shape of a new daughter.

SPRINGFIELX), MASS. The florists of Springfield do a busi- ness fully three times as large as they did fifteen years ago, do it in far bet- ter fashion and are generally given free hands when a case of decorative work is in question. The growth of the business locally is evidenced by the fact that in the various greenhouses of Springfield are over 75,000 feet of glass, the larg- est houses being those owned by Mark Aitken on Osgood street, which have some 25,000 feet of glass. Mr. Aitken imports 200,000 Dutch and French bulbs, while E. B. Beals imports 75,000 more, and the total importation will reach well above the 350,000 mark. Carnations, lilies of the valley, violets and roses are brought ill from Cromwell, Conn., or Boston by the millions in the course of the year, while large quantities of less popular flowers are either grown here or are imported. Just now the florists are busy preparing for Easter, and thou- sands and thousands of Easter lily bulbs are being urged to flower in time. The Azores bulbs are being tried this year. All the cut roses and lilies of the val- ley and violets, and a good share of the carnations consumed locally are im- ported either from the Pierson houses in Cromwell, Conn., or from Boston growers. E. B. Beals is one of the local dealers who grows carnations, and has in his houses 5,000 plants. N. F. Higgins has 10,000 feet of glass. He uses his houses more to grow bedding plants, but also grows a num- ber of carnations. Like Mr. Aitken, he buys the bulk of his cut flowers from Pierson at Cromwell. Ostermann & Steele have no houses, and import prac- tically all their flowers from Boston. One of the earliest florists in Springfield was B. K. Bliss, who did a large seed business and was one of the first to issue a catalogue. William Schlatter, who has conducted a business in upper Bay street for the last eleven years, and has worked here for other florists since 1866, tells of Mr. Bliss' bringing out the Early Rose potato, which sold at $2 a pound for seed purposes. A Greenfield farmer secured two tiny tubers of this potato, each about as large as a small marble, and asked Mr. Schlatter to see what he could do with them. Mr. Schlatter cut the tubers in two, planted thera, cut them down and planted the cuttings until by multiplication he grew 200 hills of fine potatoes within three months, all froln the original two tubers. Martinsville, N. Y. — G. A. Belling has sold his greenhouse business and has entered the field of greenhouse builders. Orange, N. J.— An overheated fur- nace caused a fire in the greenhouse in the rear of St. John's rectory February 9, destroying the plants, among which were some fine orchids. 3 NEW CANNAS WILLIAM SAUNDERS The flowers are larsre, of splendid form, and are borne very freely In immense clusters. The color is a deep rich sbininir scarlet slightly dappled with crimson. Koliage is a rich bronze. Height, 3J^ to 4 feet. We believe that Wm. Sannders is decidedly the most perfect Canna of this type that has been introduced. 50c each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. OTTAWA Is a strong grower, very robust and 5 to 6 feet high. The flowers are large and beau- tifully formed, color is carmine with tints of old rose and deep coral, add to this the silken sheen and you can imagine the effect a few plants will produce. NOFE— We had this Canna on trial among the Canadian experimental stations last summer and this is the official report of their expert : " Quite distinct and one of the most beautiful shades of color I ever saw in Oannas. Of 70 massed in one bed during the past season, this was the most floriferous in the collection, coming into bloom eaily and con- tinuing until cut down by frost, as many as 13 expanded heads of blooms being counted at one time on a plant, and not a poor one among tbem, all being of immense size." 50c each; $5.C0 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. NEW YORK Has the Orchid type of flower. They have much more substance than the flowers of the other varieties of this class, and will stand the hot sunshine as well as the toughest varieties of cannas. The color is a solid rich scarlet covered with a beautiful glowing sheen. The flowers are large and contrast beautifully with the dark bronze foliage. 60c each; $6.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.

Trade has been all that the most en- thusiastic could desire during the last month. The only drawback has been the great shortage of stock, especially roses and carnations. Since December 1 we have had something like six days of sun altogether, and it is simply a wonder that there are any flowers at all. As regards prices there has been a stiffening all along the line. The Florists* Qub. Since my last report there have been three meetings of the club, and much good work has been accomplished. Every evening since the adoption of the point system of awards, substantial prizes to be given for the three highest totals at the end of the season, there have been creditable displays of both plants and flowers. There has been a large at- tendance at each meeting and our club is certainly prospering. At the last meeting it was voted to drop from the rolls all members who uo not pay their dues, as prescribed by our by-laws. Andrew Blum, who is vdth the Clover Hill Greenhouses, was elected an active member. Our club will this year again put up and take charge of the distribution of the penny packets of flower and vegetable seeds for the chil- dren of the public schools. This matter of school and home gardens is develop- ing rapidly here and great good is be- ing accomplished. Our next meeting will be February 26. Various Notes. Both "William and Samuel Graff, of Graff Bros., are spending the week in Chicago, attending the wedaing of their sister, Matilda Graff, to Herman Land- field, which ceremony takes place Febru- ary 24 at the Unity Club house. The Clover Hill Greenhouses are mak- ing quite a specialty of the new pink spiraea, Queen Alexandra. The East Liverpool Potteries have dissolved. The Ohio State Horticultural Society has naade arrangements to supply its members, and, in fact, all who apply with spraying material of all kinds at wholesale prices.

From the appearance of some of the retail windows, which are taste- fully arranged, there seems to be a full supply. Business has been fairly good, both wholesale and retail, and cleans up everything. St. Valentine's day was ob- served in many ways. Many cut flowers were used. Violets had the principal call, hundreds of orders being filled. Many dinners were served and these called for various kinds of decorations. Funeral work seems to stay, a great amount of this kind of work being dis- posed of daily. Boses are a little more plentiful. Car- nations are doing fairly well, all being disposed of every morning. Violets are enough to meet the demands. The double violet is almost a thing of the past; we depend mostly on the singles. Paper Whites are scarce. Callas still are short of their usual supplj'. Plenty of freesias can be had, both long and short stems. Sweet peas are not plenti- ful and sell well. Greens of all kinds can be had. The market florists are out again with stalls filled with various kinds of plants and the appearance proves that Easter is approaching. The public patronizes them and there is little left to take home. The demand for gladioli this year ex- ceeds last year and many more will be grown here for market. Variotti Notes. J. 0. Strand, Waverly, Md., reports that he has had a good cut of Christmas Pink sweet peas. In one month he cut 4,618. Monday, February 11, a strike at the Pratt street power-house tied up the street car system and affected business, also the attendance at the meeting of the Gardeners' Club, as the members nearly all depend upon the cars in com- ing and reaching home and many stayed at home, fearing that they would be held in town. E. A. Seidewitz had a catchy adver- tisement in one of the daily papers, it read as follows "Flowers as a valen- tine, the proper caper. ' ' From present indications there will be a much greater demand for Paper White narcissi this year than last. J. L. T. Hartland, N. Y. — J. F. Keed & Son are building a large house.

Trade for the last week has been ex- tra good, St. Valentine's day being a big factor. All the store men report a rushing business on that occasion; in fact, some class it with Christmas day. The business will stand a few of these days mixed in; they constitute the sugar plums. The Aveather man is doing bet- ter and altogether the world looks con- siderably brighter. William Dow, of the Belleview green- houses, is studying for the medical pro- fession. Irwin Bprtcrmann has a seedling car- nation he is justly proud of. It is a good, bright pink with a fine stem and calyx, something on the Imperial order. It is the result of a cross between Pros- perity and Enchantress. The Bash Seed Co. is putting in a full line of florists' supplies and aims to keep it up-to-date, something that was needed in this city. Baur & Smith have had fine success in disposing of their 2-inch geraniums. They went like hot cakes. AdA'crtising does it.

PADUCAH POTTERY CO., WC PAOUCAH. KENTUCKY DENVER. The Market Trade has been quite good for this season of the year. Eoses are scarce, but all other stock can be had in quan- tity. The coming of Lincoln's birthday, Valentine 's day and Washington 's birth- day nearly all together created a good demand for flowers, violets perhaps having the caJl on Valentine's day. One of the stores reported having sold over 15,000 for that purpose. Bride and Bridesmaid are beginning to come in better quantities, but prices as yet have shown little or no tendency to weaken and Beauties, especially long- stemmed ones, are scarce. Camatibna are a little more plentiful, although there were not enough red to go around February 14. Prices are about the same, $2 to $4 per hundred. Bul- bous flowers are in active demand and some good stock is seen. Asparagus sprays, Sprengeri and adiantum con- tinue to be scarce articles. Variottt Notca* J. A. Valentine, Emil Glauber and N. A. Benson have returned from the car- nation convention at Toronto, visiting several eastern cities on their way. The Park Floral Co. has a fine crop of blooming plants coming on. They will be right on edge for Easter. Perry Gallup is again with the Gallup Seed & Floral Co., on Sixteenth street. E. S. K. TWIN QTIES. The Market Business last week was good. St. Val- entine's day helped o\j|J| immensely and from reports it was the best that we have had for a good many years. Vio- lets sold remarkably well. The fine weather helped considerably and, no doubt, was the cause of the heavy de- mand for them. The quality could hard- ly be excelled. Some of the finest Princess of Wales ever offered in this section are on the market in large numbers. The cut being unusually heavy the price has declined to some extent, present whole- sale prices being 75 cents to $1 per hun- dred. Eoses and carnations are in the best of conaition and in some places only specimen blooms are offered, which are retailed at $2.50 and $3 per dozen with- out any difficulty. Carnations range from 75 cents to $1 per dozen. Twin City Pottery Mfg. Co. Successors to J. G. Swalin's Sons -MANUFACTURERS OF GARDEN VASES, FLOWER POTS, HANGING BASKETS Let us flBrure on your needs.

There will be a bench three feet wide along each wall and three inside benches five feet wide with walks all around them. How many 3-inch hot water mains should we have overhead and how many 2-inch returns under the benches to keep the house at a temperature of 60 degrees at 10 degrees below zero ? The base of our Idyle boiler is about five feet below the surface. "Where should be the highest point of the flow pipes? W. E. D. Your house can be heated by using a single 31/^-inch flow pipe under the ridge and seventeen 2-inch returns. If you prefer to use two flow pipes, use 2^- inch, as they have sufficient capacity to provide for the radiation supplied by the 2-inch returns. The highest point in the hot water system should be at the point in the flow pipe where it divides to furnish the returns, i. e., the most dis- tant point from the boiler. Connect the expansion tank to the main return near the boiler and elevate it as much as possible, fifteen to forty feet. L. C. C. THE BEST TYPE OF BOILER. There are so many different styles of heating boilers on the market, each pur- ported to be perfect, or at least the best, that usually the florist is puzzled when it comes to making a selection. Many of us have our ideas as to what a good boiler should consist of and oc- casionally these ideas get into print, and are productive of some good, either helping those in need of a new heating apparatus in determining which one of the many styles meets his requirements aild combines the greatest number of advantages, or in offering suggestions for the manufacturers' consideration. Just now we are looking for hot water and steam boilers that will unite the gases properly, giving us the most heat from the least coal, with little or no waste. I believe this can be accomplished in no other way than by producing perfect and rapid combustion of the fuel used. Bricked-up steel tubular boilers are ad- vocated in preference to the fire-box, because the brick fire-box can be main- tained at a higher temperature than Standard Plate Glass Co, Mannfactnrera, Importers and Jobbers AMERICAN AND FRENCH GREENHOUSE GLASS 26-30 Sudbury Street, 61-63 Portland Street, Mention The Review when yog write.

To combine the advantages of both types in one, I advocate lining the fire- box with at least four inches of fire brick, top, sides, front and back, mak- ing the box large enough to permit a full size grate and heating surface. Then brick in the boiler so that the heat after passing through the flues drops down at the farther end, return- ing underneath the boiler toward the front nearly as far as the fire-box, then up over the top of the boiler, back to the farther end and stack. One more suggestion, and one that I believe is of vital importance, if proper combustion is to take place. Have the brick above the boiler arched the flat way, two inches thick, and above this a closed warming pan, covered with mag- nesia, full width and length of the boiler, at least six inches high, with an opening near the rear end two-thirds the area of the opening in the stack ..HOOKER..^ HOOKER'S OREENHOUSE GLASS Selected quality HOOKER'S GREENHOUSE PUHY Made with pure linseed oil HOOKER'S PAINTS AND BRUSHES HOOKER'S FELT ROOFING FUnt-coated HOOKER'S RUBBER SHEATHING Absolutely waterproof 'S Always glad to quote prices.

Instead of cold air striking the underside of the fire to cool it, as a draught through the ash-pit does, we have a hot blast that permits the proper temperature and con- ditions for the thorough uniting of all gases, thus consuming the smoke, giving us clean flues, therefore hotter water, with less fuel.

This is most effective and desirable. In bricking in the rear end, just above the flue line a steel plate may be placed with the handle outside, permitting the sliding of the same, giv- ing direct draught through the flues and up the stack when wanted in starting the fire and otherwise. The grates should be of some rocker pattern with close mesh so that it will accommodate screenings and head-end cinders. With this combination we believe we have an ideal heating boiler, one that gives the most heat for the least money expended in fuel. Put fresh screenings on your fire, go out and look at the top of the stack and see if black smoke is pouring out. If it is, you may be sure that perfect combustion is not taking place. The gases are not uniting prop- erly and you are losing a large per- centage of the heat that is in the coal. On the other hand, with your boilers fitted up as above, you may close your ash-pit doors and open the hot blast draft with the result that black smoke The John Davis Go.

This is not theory, but practice from actual tests made on a smaller scale. There are boilers on the market using the three-way pass, but the gases are not sufficiently heated and united to make the top pass of material benefits The only way this can be accomplished is through the hot blast principle, with the aid of brick lining for the fire-box.

The Market St. Valentine's day created a big de- mand for violets and cut flowers in gen- eral. With the advent of Lent business has quieted down some and with this decrease in demand is the influx of bul- bous stock, the result being a glut of colored carnations, tulips, hyacinths, daf- fodils, etc. White carnations and, in fact, all white flowers keep well cleaned up, owing to the large amount of fu- neral work. Even though other stock is plentiful, roses are not equal to the demand. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange is han- dling some fine La Detroit. Short- stemmed roses are scarce. Various Notes. Theodore Mitchell played the genial host to a number of the younger mem- bers of the club Tuesday evening, Feb- ruary 12. S. S. Skidelsky spent several busy days in and about Detroit recently. He was much pleased with the appearance of the Rose-pink Enchantress stock at Schroeter's greenhouse. As a result of the big demand Mr. Skidelsky has found it necessary to refuse orders until those already on hand are filled. If you have some chenille lying around that has become soiled through exposure to dust and dirt, take a coil at a time and give it a good washing with soap and water, rinse and hang up to dry. It will come out as clean and soft as when new. It has been rumored that a new store is to be ojiened on Broadway in the near future. E. A. Fetters is back in the city again. A ridiculous adx-ertisement was recent- ly seen in the Detroit daily papers. Jt was inserted by the flor^ (itepar,tment of one of the large drygoo^s stores and ran in part as follows: "Carnations 35 cents per dozen. Only three dozen will be sold to one customer, so as to keep them out of the dealers' hands." M. Keller, of Reed & Keller, New York, was a visitor last week, H. S. PouGHKEE?siE, N.

The accompanying illustration will serve to give an idea of the character of fixtures required foi^ an up-to-date flower store. It shows only a part of one side of the store, including a bit of the show window at the front, the display case for cut flowers, then a large bev- eled-plate mirror, and then a display <;ase for small baskets, hampers, etc., the more bulky articles being kept elsewhere. The tables are of brass frames and marble tops. They are used only for the display of stock, all wrapping being done behind the scenes. It is not every retailer who can afford mahogany fix- tures made to order, but it pays to have them as good as circumstances will war- rant. About the best asset a retaiFstore can have is a reputation for good taste, and an ill equipped and poorly arranged store gives a first impression which it takes much good work to counteract. So long as first impressions are what they are it is well to have them in our favor instead of against us. Not infrequently one is prejudiced against a store by its appearance, and every now and then we hear someone say, "That place looks all right; let's go in there." The picture reproduced was taken at the store of C. A. Samuelson, 2128 Mich- igan avenife, Chicago. FUNERAL WORK, In placing orders for funeral designs the public has to trust a great deal lo the florist's practical, as well as artistic, ability and reliability, as we have no samples or models to show; nothing but the loose flowers, frames, and, in most cases, poor photographs. We all know that floral designs never show up to advantage in a picture. Of course people who have had some previous experience in buying designs usually know about what pieces are suit- able, and it is merely necessary to set- tle on the price. Even people who are fortunate enough to be inexperienced in ordering funeral flowers, in many cases leave it to the artist. Sometimes, though, you will run up against a hard proposition. Your prospective customer may not have the least idea as to what he wants or needs. "I want a nice pillow," or some such remark is often heard when really a spray or a wreath is meant, or vice ^ versa. Here is where you have to fall 'back on your design book. A good and inexpensive one can be acquired by cut- ting pictures out of the Review and mounting them in a suitable book. Many florists advocate the sending of sprays of flowers. Of course, speaking from an artistic standpoint, a large, loose spray is ahead of the ordinary floral piece. But we who depend on this business for our bread and butter make a big mistake in talking sprays ■only, for when stock is plentiful short stuff is bound to pile up and the only outlet is design work. When it is possible to swing the buyer either way, just size up the stock on hand and offer suggestions accordingly, but at the same time keep your cus- tomer's requirements in mind. Win your prospective customer's confidence and you will have easy sailing. Then again, you run across people who do not know what they want and never will know. Do not waste all your val- uable time with them if you cannot se- cure their order after a reasonable ef- but if they insist, go ahead, take the order and j fill to the best of your ability. You will find that people 's tastes vary a great deal, so it is a good plan to size up your customer before offering suggestions. If some party inquires as to the price of a nice lyre, or harp, do not be afraid to say $10, even if you think them only good for a five-spot; it is easy to go down. But once you have made a price stick to it, even if you lose a sale. It makes a bad im- pression to change your price. When stock is scarce, naturally de- signs should cost more than when flow- ers are plentiful. Always keep galax leaves, sheaves, cycas leaves, etc., in ' mind, especially when stock is scarce. All make up fine, at the same time give good satisfaction and bring in good profits. Small designs never look like n^uch and a spray is preferable. Lettering never adds to the artistic effect of a piece, but often is necessary. Unless insisted upon, never put the Character of Fixtures Required for an Up-to-date Store. fort. Let them go, for they would be likely to be dissatisfied at any rate. Often people have some fixed idea, some freaJc design, such as a grindstone, trowel, beer-bottle, tray and glass, or so on, or the word "Husband" on a pil- low bought by the husband. Just let them explain what they want, then tell them in a nice way that the design they have in mind will not make up nicely, or the inscription is not the proper one; sender's name or names on a piece, ex- cept in case of a society; then the ini- tials and number usually will suffice. With some people lettering makes even more of a hit than the flowers. When you run across some one like this just put it on heavy. When a piece bears some inscription such as "Brother," "Father," and so on, no card is necessary, except in case of a large family. Otherwise a card is .'^f»'»^>."Mf»>-»tr^^W^^' ■%t'm^-'Ur»^'*d^^'Urmy^fmrUe9s-Urmcvem'u^^\ Easter Stock. March will be here by the time these notes appear in print and it is a reminder that the great Easter festival is drawing near, only four weeks now being left to finish up the lilies and other plants we want to have in season. You should now be able to count the buds on your lilies without pulling back the leaves. If they are still obscured from view, your chances of having them in bloom are du- bious. With hard forcing we have seen them brought in flower within five weeks from the showing of the buds, but it is much better to allow them six weeks. Lose no time in removing any doubtful plants to the warmest house you have and ply the syringe or hose freely among them. Do not neglect the watering on any consideration and give them sufiicient liquid stimulants to keep the foliage green and the plants vigorous. Rambler roses should have the sprays advanced now, so that the buds can be counted; then they are all right. Astil- bes, if they start to show color about March 12, will be in season. Hydran- geas should now have heads of fair size and ought to show color about the mid- dle of the month. Azaleas may still be started and if kept warm and sprayed frequently will be in season. Keep pinching and rubbing out the early growths, which came ahead of the flow- ers. Acacia armata should be given 50 degrees to 55 degrees at night until the little flowers show yellow. Then keep it cooler. Dutch bulbous stock should be put in readiness. Better start hyacinths, tulips and narcissi by March 10; they then should be in season. If lily of the valley sells well, a good supply of pips should now be potted and placed in a warm, darkened case with a brisk bottom heat. Gradually inure to light to give the plants as good foliage as possible. From three to four weeks is ample time to al- low valley provided a brisk heat is at command.' Lilacs, Azalea mollis, flower- ing cherries and other deciduous shrubs should all be in bud now and in this case will not need any further forcing. Let them open in a comparatively cool house and they will be much more satis- factory. Cypripedium Insifne. That old and easily grown orchid, Cypripedium insigne, is found in many commercial places and, in spite of all newer and higher priced introductions, firmly retains its position as the most popular and profitable of tne cypripe- dium family. The present is a suitable time to overhaul any which may seem to need repotting. If the growths have be- come much crowded it will be better to pull tlie plants to pieces. If plants of moderate size are desired, 6-inch pots will be large enough. Much larger sizes are often used, but we have found the smaller pots give a larger proportion of flowers than the best specimens. A suit- able compost is fibrous loam, with all the finer particles screened from it, lumpy charcoal and a little old cow manure. The pots should be half filled with clean crocks and in potting the plants should be slightly elevated above the rims. Os- munda fern fiber, with a little sphagnum, will also grow the plants well. They suc- ceed well in a temperature of 50 degrees to 55 degrees in winter and prefer a cool house or open-air culture in summer. They appreciate an occasional applica- tion of manure water during the growing season when well rooted. Antirrhinums. Probably you are growing a few seed- ling antirrhinums on a bench in one of your houses. The flowers are useful dur- ing late winter and early spring. Well grown spikes which have been carefully disbudded make a beautiful display in large vases and, as they possess remark- able lasting properties, make a most sat- isfactory cut flower. Now is a good time to take some cuttings from the flowering stems of your best varieties. They will soon root and if potted off and gradu- ally hardened can be planted outdoors early in May. From these further cut- tings can be taken late in July and, if grown along in a frame or a cool house, will make fine stuff to plant on the benches about the end of September. Separate colors, like white, yellow, pink and red, will sell better than mixtures. Gloxinias. If gloxinias were started in flats a few weeks ago in a warm house they will have made considerable root and the young shoots will be one or two inches across. They are better potted before they get crowded. A light, moderately rich compost suits them. Equal parts of leaf-mold, loam and cow manure well dried, with a dash of powdered charcoal and sharp sand, is to their liking. Five and 6-inch pots are sufficiently large, un- less the tubers are of more than ordi- nary size. Keep on the dry side until well rooted. Shade from direct sunshine, do not spray the leaves and keep well up to the light in a temperature of 60 degrees at night and a good many will be in bloom for Memorial day, when they will be found extremely useful.

Cuttings of marguerites put in now and grown along in pots will make fine plants for flowering next Christmas. Achimines, fancy-leaved caladiums, gesneras and tuberous-rooted begonias intended for culture indoors can be started now. Give them a light compost, water sparingly until growth appears and pot off before they crowd one another. Memorial day is about three months away, but if you need hydrangeas at that time they should be started right away, Astilbes also should be potted and placed under the benches of any cool house or stood on a shed floor. They will make roots at once. Such seedlings as asters, verbenas, stocks, etc., should not be kept in a warm house after they are well above ground or they soon become leggy. Keep them on a shelf well up to the glass. DENDROBIUM X CYBELE. Dendrobium x Cybele is one of the most beautiful and free-flowering of the many dendrobium hybrids. It is one of Veitch's seedlings, the result of a cross between D. Finalayanum and the well- known D. nobile. There is considerable confusion among the dendrobium hy- brids, each hybridizer persisting in giv- ing distinctive names to seedlings pro- duced from the same parentage. Thus there are D. Aurora and D. Xanthocen- trum, each raised by Sir Trevor Law- rence from the same cross. Like all the deciduous dendrobes, this variety succeeds well in a basket of fern fiber and sphagnum moss. Baskets should be as small as possible and the plants through the growing season need good light with but little shade, a moist atmosphere and plenty of heat, gradu- ally reducing the water supplies as growth ^is being completed and ripening up the bulbs well in a cooler and sunny house. W. N. C. A NEW RACE OF DAHLIAS. The Peony-flowered Variety, For many years dahlias have received a large share of public favor, and every season has seen new arrivals to swell the already large ranks of named varieties. Advance has b^en especially noticeable in the cactud section, which has probably reached tjie high-water mark of popu- larity. The wondrous display of coloring in this class, together with their correct form, pointed petals, and graceful habit, has given them the predominant position in the great dahlia family. The last few years has seen the decline of the large show and fancy dahlias, and even the popularity of the singles and the ever useful pompons has been greatly lessened. The older type of decorative dahlias is seldom seen now, for the all-conquering cactus varieties have taken the place which once it so proudly held. And now the boasted supremacy of the cactus group is at last threatened, and it has to meet a rival which has thrown form and symmetry to the winds, and has entered the lists clothed in nature's own freedom-loving style. To some of us, nature lovers as we are, this break is an especially pleasing one, for the new type of dahlia which has arisen can best be described as peony-flowered, for the varieties possess the irregular, loosely- arranged petals and the large golden center which we usually associate with peonies. Many of the petals are de- Dendrobium x Cybele. lightfully curled, and the elegant forms, and the disproportionate size of many of them, give one the pleasing idea of a natural artistry produced by breaking away from rigid and stereotyped designs. These quaint and lovely flowers wertf introduced by a Dutch firm, Copyn & Son, of Groenekan, who have exhibited them at Bosendaal, Paris, Dusseldorf, etc., and have been the recipients of many medals and certificates which testify to the Continental appreciation of the new section. The horticultural press of France, Germany and Holland seems to have been captivated by the beauty of the newcomers. Needless to say, the flowers are large, and the coloring of the varieties named is good, and perhaps a brief description may be of value. Duke Henry, soft dark red, loosely formed, and produced on long stems. Dr. K. W. van Gorkom, a lovely vari- ety, the white petals being softly shaded with rose. Baron G. de Grancy, fine, long- stemmed, with a double row of creamy- white petals. Glory of Baarn, an exquisite soft pink, fine flowers well above the foliage. Queen Wilhelmina, a lovely flower, pure white, well arranged, and very floriferous. Hollandia, deep rose, well recom- mended, fine for cutting. Paul Kruger, white striped red, with three rows of elegant petals, on long stems. King Leopold, a glorious soft yellow shaded with cream. Pius X., soft yellow, freely striped with salmon; the flowers are light and graceful, very free. Germania, wine-crimson, which some- times is shaded with yellow; it is very effective. Solfatara, carmine-red with a rich yel- low center. Queen Emma, a grand acquisition, large and floriferous; the color soft salmon and lilac. Garibaldi, a rich dark scarlet, which is grand when arrayed with the daintier colors of some of the preceding. This exhausts the list at present, but I understand the raisers have other good things in store, and if the new peony- flowered dahlias come up to expectations, they should find a place in many of our English gardens. — Gardeners' Magazine. NARQSSI AND FUNKIAS. Kindly give me what information you can as to growing Narcissus poeticus and Funkia coerulea alba from seed. Does the seed germinate readily and how long will it require to bring them to bloom- ing age? What is the proper method of handling the seedlings! J. M. G. Raising narcissi from seed is a slow process and does not pay, except it may be in the raising of new varieties. Seed should be sown in flats of sandy loam in a cool greenhouse as soon as ripe and be transplanted either into frames or prepared beds in the open ground in spring. The little seedlings will only need one or two inches of space between them. They will need lifting when the foliage dies down and replanting in the fall. As it takes three to four years, and often much longer, to flower these seedlings, there is no profit commer- cially in attempting it unless, as previ- ously stated, new hybrids are to be raised. Narcissis poeticus produces offsets so freely that it can be increased rapidly in this way and, being so inexpensive, we do not think it would be profitable to attempt to raise it from seed. While the various funkias, such as .■»r':- ■-< .'•■ , ^^.'S'T :'^^v; incrcn-^o Kxp, 2— A. Fnll lUnmlnntlon under screen (iO 1.019 R. Hnlf Illumination under screen «7 2.047 1-J iiicrense Kxp. 3— A. Full llluminntk.n under screen !•> 1.02C n. Quarter lllu'atlon under screen 72 L.-ill .T decrease It will be seen fr om this that when two-thirds of the illumination was cut off by a screen and one-half of the re- mainder was cut off by the revolving sectors the amount of carbon dioxid as- similation was not decreased but was even slightly increased. Not until three- fourths of the light coming through the screen was cut off was there any reduc- tion in assimilation. This means that one-sixth of the light of a clear summer sky is still sufficient for the needs of our ordinary plants and not until the light is reduced to about one-twelfth do thej begin to suffer. Now I wish to correlate with these experiments another set of observations and experiments from an entirely differ- ent source, but having a bearing on this sul)jcct. Schander's Experiments. The use of Bordeaux mixture as a fungicide is well known. The spraying of plants such as apple trees, potatoes, grapes and others is a matter of com- mon practice. Soon after the use of Bordeaux mixture became general it was observed that the mixture had secondary effects on plants not due to its fungicidal action. The plants thus spray^ re- mained green and retained their leaves longer than unsprayed plants. The leaves were of a deeper color and thicker than those of unsprayed plants. This was a matter of common observation both in this country and in Europe. Much work was done to determine the cause of this effect, and it was generally attributed to the stimulating action of the mixture. Kecently the whole subject has been in- vestigated by Schander, a German in- vestigator, whoso results I will give briefly. After eliminating bv careful experi- mentation the possible stimulating effects 1084 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Febbuaby 28, 1907. of the various ingredients of the mixture, Schander turned his attention to the effect of the coating itself. It is evi- dent that the coat of lime and copper sulphate on the leaves would cut out a large part of the light reaching the interior of the leaf and thus act as a shade. In the first experiment three sets of bean plants were planted in the open ground and covered with glass in such a way that the framework supporting the glass left the sides open to the air. One set of plants was sprayed with Bordeaux mixture, in the second set the glass was sprayed, giving the shade effect, and the third was left untreated under clear glass. During the entire development of the plants both the plants under the sprayed glass and those whose foliage has been sprayed directly showed a deeper green color with larger leaves and better growth. The unshaded plants showed the yellowish color characteristic of plants suffering from too much light. Of course, the temperature and moisture conditions were the same for each group. In another case the leaves of grapes were sprayed with the Bordeaux, partly on the upper side and partly on the lower surface. If the beneficial effects of the spray resulted from the chemical action of the mixture both sets of leaves ought to act alike. It was found, how- ever, that the leaves sprayed on the upper surface alone showed beneficial results. These were of a deeper green and con- tained a larger quantity of starch than the others. In a later experiment parts of leaves were covered with chemically indifferent substances -like thin paper. The covered portions always showed a deeper green color and contained more starch than the exposed parts. These experiments seem to show that the beneficial effects of Bordeaux mixture aside from its fungi- cidal properties are due to its action in moderating the intense illumination of the summer sun. Conclusions Reached. From the observations and experi- ments which I have reported here we must arrive al^ the remarkable conclusion that during the bright weather from late spring until early fall most of our cul- tivated plants suffer from too intense an illumination. When this illumination is cut down, as in all plants which are commonly sprayed, the plants thrive bet- ter than in full sunlight. This is com- monly observed in apple trees, grape vines, potatoes and other plants which are commonly sprayed. In the greenhouses the situation is complicated by the great rise in tem- perature which becomes injurious to plants, but aside from this the illum- ination itself can easily become injurious. Shade-loving plants like palms, etc., are injured even by long exposure to moder- ate illumination and roses soon show signs of injury in bright summer weather. The first and most evident sign of too intense illumination is a pale green or yellowish color. Finally the leaves formed become smaller and none of the tissues manufacture the normal amount of starch. This soon results in weaker growth and slender shoots on the plants. In roses the effect of too much light can be easily seen in summer by the pale green leaves. Even a few days of cloudy weather will suflBee to change the ap- pearance of the whole house to a more normal, darker green. FEEDING FOR EASTER BLOOMS. It is now only a few weeks till Easter and any crops that seem tardy and back- ward should receive special attention so that they may come up to time. With the increase of sunshine, which we may now expect, there is less danger of weakening stock by feeding and, if it is in vigorous condition, the risk of doing damage" by a judicious rise in tem- perature, both at night and in the day- time, is reduced. Houses which are com- ing along too slowly can, without any danger, be raised from 3 degrees to 4 degrees at night, with a corresponding rise during the day, so long as ventila- tion can be freely indulged in. Gen- erous applications of liquid feeding will also help to develop the crop more rap- idly. This question of liquid feeding is one of the subjects upon which the grower often fails. In fact, it is at the present stage of rose growing the most impor- tant, even to experts; for how many of them really know just what ingredients they are administering to their plants and in what proportion? Neither do they know what the chemical admixture will result in, food or poison. As a re- sult many are the failures, illustrating the old adage that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." The information conveyed in such es- says as that read at the American Eose Society's meeting in Boston last year by Mr. Pray on liquid fertilizers must, if given serious study by the student of rose culture, result in shedding light in many dark places. And, as I mentioned in my notes of last week, the credit of all this work is due to the American Eose Society, to the energy and deter- mination of its officers and to the moral support given by its members. The meeting of last year was the most successful in its history. In the char- acter and quality of its exhibits, its pre- miums and in the practical, scientific and everyday character of the essays it will be hard to surpass. Yet we are not dead to the pleasures of hope. The premiums offered this season are numerous and valuable; the essayists are men of national repute in their different pursuits; the questions for discussion are of the greatest importance to every grower, dealer or lover of roses; the les- sons to be learned will undoubtedly add to our profits, the brotherly feeling thus engendered will keep a warm glow in our hearts for, at least, one year when we can again renew it at the next annual meeting. All of which will redound to the honor and glory of our enthroned queen. Eibes. CUTS AND CONDITIONS. About how many flowers per planf can reasonably be expected from roses of the ordinary varieties? Are solid beds an advantage over raised benches for roses when it is de- sired to grow stock two or three years without replanting? With a rather sandy soil will the usual layer of broken stone or cinders beneath the beds be necessary for drainage? In a climate that is usually quite sunny in the winter will not north and south houses be as favorable for pro- ducing good results as east and west houses? Will a rather sandy soil, but which is rich and productive, be good for roses? Roses grown outdoors in this soil make splendid growth, bloom well and seem to be healthy, W. H. C. The average cut from the different va- rieties depend}^ so much on the attend- ing conditions, such as soil, climate, as- pect and character of house, that it is an almost impossible task to estimate anywhere near what they will do. Brides and Maids in a well constructed, well heated and well watered house under skillful care will produce, on an average during the season, twenty-seven to thirty blooms of all grades. Hybrid teas, such as Liberty, Meteor and Richmond, will, under like conditions, produce at least one-fourth more. Beauties will be doing well if the average is in the vicinity of seventeen. When roses are to be carried over without transplanting, solid beds are cer- tainly preferable to table benches. The writer last spring, in. March, had the opportunity of inspecting some houses of roses in the vicinity of Boston, which were then in their third year. These were on solid beds. The varieties were Liberty, Maid and Bride and finer roses it would be hard to meet. The grower was even then contemplating running them another season. If the subsoil is of a very sandy nature there should be no necessity for any kind of artificial drainage. My experience, and the experience of many good growers of my acquainlKance, is that north and south houses are better suited for summer, fall and spring crops and that they usually fail to produce paying crops during the winter solstice, when prices are at their best. The ideal soil for roses is a good fibrous loam with an admixture of clay. Where the soil is of a sandy nature it FKBBOABY 28, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review.

Al- though stock may do exceedingly well outdoors in certain soils, it is quite a different question when it is compelled to find sustenance from the same soil on benches under glass. Bibes. SOUTHERN ROSES UNDER GLASS. {A paper by R. Lockerbie, New Orleans, read before the Society of Southern Florists, at the New Orleans Convention, February 14 to 16, 1907.] The growing of roses under glass in the south has only within the last de- cade begun to claim earnest attention. Previous to that time, the few spasmodic efforts in different sections resulted in only indifferent success. Now that the requirements of the rose are better un- derstood, the amount of glass devoted to its culture is enormously increased, and the results, in most cases, are more than satisfactory. While we here aim at the same goal as our northern brethren, we shoot from an entirely different angle. The theory of rose growing is the same, both north and south, but the diflSculties are much opposed. Style of House. The style of house for the south is one of the first considerations. I prefer an even-span north and south house, to any other. Such a house has the great advantage over an east and west house of being much cooler, while giving prac- tically the same amount of light. Each house should be detached and have ventilators in the walls on each side, as well as on both sides of the ridge. The ventilators at the ridge should also be considerably deeper than those in use in the north, and I find those that are hinged at the top preferable to those hinged at the bottom, especially during the heavy rains we experience in the sum- mer months. The tendency now leans towards using larger glass, but here, where we are blessed with plenty of sunshine, glass sink even a quarter of an inch an annoy- ing overflow is the result. Beds or Benches. Eaised solid beds or benches can both be used, but neither should be over four feet wide. Eaised solid beds should have at least one foot of rough drainage in the bottom, covered with sod laid grass side down. Four to six inches more will are used, at least two inches should be allowed between them. Before filling, these spaces can be covered with a thin sod, grass side down, which will make the drainage system ideal. The surface of all woodwork should have an application of hot lime wash, to get rid of all insect life and also for a preservative for the wood. Crude oil is also good in this con- nection. Provide walks of twenty-two to twenty-four inches around each bed, and sufficient hydrants in every walk to enable the grower to sprinkle clear to the ends of the beds. Whether steam or hot water is used for heating, the pipes should be so arranged and valved as to provide for just the necessary amount of heat for each sep- arate occasion. Soil and Its Preparation. Now comes the vital question of soil and its preparation. This is the key- stone to the whole position. In general it may be said that soil that will grow good farm crops, such as corn, wheat or oats, will be found suitable for roses. The soil, so far as I have seen it in the south, seems well adapted for raising good roses. TTie chief defect, in my estimation, is the lack of suitable fiber in it. While plenty of soil can be had with fiber, it is so chock full of undesir- able grasses, of which the omnipresent Bermuda is the worst, that it is better to take a soil from which some crop has been raised during the summer and pre- pare it as follows: In the late fall plough it up, pulverize it fine with a drag harrow and sow rather thickly with English rye grass, orchard grass or some other equally quick grow- ing grass. By early spring this will have made a thick sod with plenty of fibrous roots, when it should again be ploughed up. Now apply about two inches of cow manure to the surface and work it well Making Rose Cuttings at Peter Reinberg's, Chicago. leave plenty of room for soil aind sub- sequent mulching. When benches are used, 6-inch pecky cypress boards, one or one and one-half inches thick, are the best material. These should be laid so as to leave a space of one inch between each board to provide thoroughly for drainage. Where 8-inch or 9-inch boards in with a disk-harrow. An occasional harrowing will keep it in good shape un- til needed, or it may be piled up and turned over a few times. This working will put it in fine condition for planting. When turning the soil and filling the benches a sharp lookout must be kept for grubvvorms, the larvae of the May ■;i;ii«^,?-;^;'T- i086 The Weekly Florists' Review* Febbuaby 28, 1907. beetle. Every one that escapes you means the loss of a rose plant before the summer is over. FiUiog the Benches. Before filling the benches clear out all rubbish from underneath, and give each house a thorough fumigating with sul- phur. With one man at a bench leveling off and two or three wheeling in the soil, the work of filling the houses goes mer- rily on. Each bench should be filled just barely level, so that after a firming and watering the soil will be about one inch from the top of the sides. I may here say that five inches is deep enough for the benches. When a house has been filled the walks and underneath the benches should again be carefully cleaned. In rose growing cleanliness is godliness. Before planting, the benches should have a top dressing of ground bone, about fifty pounds to 500 square feet of surface, and well worked into the soil with the hands or a rake. The standard distance for planting is ten inches in and fifteen inches between the rows; but rank growers, like Beauties and Chate- nays, can be planted wider to advantage. Propagatiog. It is always ' preferable to propagate your own stock of young roses, but the law of selection must be rigidly ob- served. It is a simple thing to let a good strain deteriorate by indiscriminate propagation, and only judicious selection will keep the stock up to the top notch.' Cuttings may be made from blind wood, as well as from flowering shoots. A heel cutting from blind wood will make a very satisfactory plant in a short time, as it throws up a number of shoots from the bottom and thus makes a splendid foundation for future building. January and February are the best months to root the cuttings. A temperature of 60 degrees to 62 de- grees in the sand and 56 degrees in the house at night will be found suitable to their requirements, and in about twenty- five days the cuttings should be rooted enough for potting. Use small pots for the first potting, with little manure in the soil, and keep the young plants grow- ing all the time, using richer soil for each shift. Cuttings struck in January should be strong plants by May 1. Buyiag Young Stock. Just a word about buying young roses from the north. There is plenty of fine stock in season in northern markets, but, alas, the conditions down here are either unknown or ignored by a great many shippers. Young roses for shipment to the south must never be pot-bound at time of shipping, and they must be wet enough to arrive in a nice, moist condi- tion. Pot-bound plants generally arrive denuded of foliage, and those which come too dry soon drop theirs, and the buyer loses at least a month in their best growing period; indeed, he is lucky if he does not lose half the plants as well. These are two points in shipping that purchasers should insist be observed. (To be Continued.) AMERICAN ROSE SCXHETY. The executive committee of the Amer- ican Eose Society has been favored with more prizes for the coming Washington show, one of $25 for Killarney offered by ex-President Fred E. Newbold, of Poughkeepsie, and another from L. A. Noe, of Madison, who offers a prize of $25 for Uncle John. An addition to the prize list of the Washington Florists' Club is a premium of $25 for a group of decorative plants covering at least 100 square feet of floor space, offered by Wm. H. Ernest, of Washington. A. special report of the society's do- ings, with the constitution and by-laws and a chapter on garden roses, of much interest to amateur growers, is mailed to all members of the society and a number of them are being sent out to the gen- eral public. Benjamin Hammond, Sec'y. NOTHING VRONG IN KANSAS. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of Charles P. Mueller 's new greeahouses at Wichita, Kan. They were erected two years ago and enlarged last summer. The plant now contains about 30,000 square feet of glass and is devoted to roses, carnations and the gen- eral line of stuff used in a first-class re- tail trade. Considerable space is given up to bedding plants, in which Mr. Muel- ler does a large business during the bed- ding season. A. Marquart, for many years with J. F. Wilcox, of Council Bluffs, is in charge. Credit is due him for the showing he has made during the six or seven months he has been ydth the establishment. A NEW GREENHOUSE BRACKET. In a large proportion of the green- houses there is need for some sort of a bracket fastened upon the pipes which support the roof. Where the heating pipes are carried overhead a pipe hanger is essential and the economy of space often calls for the use of brackets upon which shelves may be placed to carry considerable weight. The bracket shown in the accompanying illustration is used by a large number of New England growers. It is manufactured by Buxton & AUard, Nashua, N. H., and has made its way so far west that the C. C. Poll- worth Co., Milwaukee, has taken it up as general western sales agent. It is said that the iron brackets, when prop- erly clamped to the pipes, will each carry a load of over a ton. CRINUM YEMENSE. Growers in general are well aware of the merits of Crinum Moorei, C. Powelli, and C. longifolium, plants that haf e been in cultivation for a long time, but the Arabian form of C. latifolium, says a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine, is wholly overlooked, despite its proved hardiness, compact growth, and giant inflorescences out of all proportion to the small size of the plants. It belongs to the deciduous section,^ carrying little or no leafage in its native habitat of Yemen for longer than half the year. Under cultivation, it fits the English seasons admirably, growing throughout summer, flowering in August, and resting quietly •throughout winter. The bulb is as round as an onion, with n, and its variety Yemense is equally as good a jdant for the garden proper in everything save size. STAGING EXHIBITIONS. The German Arrangement.

FKBiiuARY 28, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ J 089 The Schillo Establishment, where Pecky Cypress has Become a Leading Specialty. Pecky cypress is like any other cy- press except that it looks as though it were full of worm holes, but isn't; it is especially like other cypress in that it has to be open air dried in the south. It is dried until it weighs three pounds to the board foot, or 3,000 pounds to the thousand feet. Consequently 10,000 feet will make a minimum car. The Schillo Lumber Co. bad cars shipped di- rect from the mills in Louisiana to flo- rists in New England and to growers in the far west, and it is only a question of time when all growers will use it. If the local lumber yard won't carry it, so that a few hundred feet can be had when wanted, growers can club together and get in a car. But it doesn't take so very many feet of bench to call for a minimum car of pecky'-cypress. It comes 1x6 inches and the boards eight, twelve or sixteen feet long, so they will just reach the cross- pieces with posts set four feet apart. With about an inch between for drain- age, a bench four feet wide will take seven boards, or three and one-half feet lumber measure for each lineal foot of bench. Side pieces bring it up to four and one-half feet. Consequently a min- imum car, 10,000 feet of lumber, would suffice for only twenty-two benches 4x 100. The average car contains 13,000 to 15,000 feet. The Review has several times called attention to pecky cypress as meriting a trial by all greenhouse owners for com- parison with hemlock and has urged the selling agency, which markets the output of the cypress mills, to arrange so that any grower could buy in moderate quan- tities, as a basis for building up a profit- able trade in this long neglected product of the southern forests. It is promised that something soon may be doing along these lines, for it is reported that one mill now has 800,000 feet of 1x6 pecky boards on hand. PACKING FOR SHIPMENT. [In a discussion of special express rates be- fore the Society of Sonthera Florists at the New Orleans Convention, C. W. Elcbling concluded with a few words on packing.] As regards proper packing, this sub- ject treated in detail would fill a book, and I shall confine myself to pointing out a few advantages and abuses in packing. In the proper packing of plants a number of things have to be considered, and it is as difficult to teach packing by a lecture as it is to cure a disease by correspondence. Experience, practice and good judgment are the only teachers, and here is where the necessity comes in of a young man to learn his trade under an experienced foreman. A Recent Experience. With an order before you in the pack- ing shed, look at the nature of the ship- ment and the distance it has to travel. Then pick out a box of proper size and strength. Too often unnecessary charges are paid on boxes entirely too large and heavy for the contents. I have here a striking example of how not to do it, and when this box arrived I called in several brother florists to witness the weight, style of packing and condition of contents. The box was received with a few small palms, primulas, Lorraine begonias and cyclamens valued at $10.95. The box and paper alone weighed eighty- three pounds; the entire weight was 180 pounds; express charges $6.12, at special rate, while the plants were worth, as above stated, $10.95. On opening the monster we found that the plants had slipped through the cleats, and we pulled out a mess of paper, root balls, broken Lorraines and primulas, with enough of mashed cycla- men to complete the limit. What we had to show for our $17 was hardly worth 17 cents, except the box, which is good for years to come. We complained to the shipper, stating all the facts, and expressed our belief that he was ignorant of the careless way in which the ship- ment was handled. But he had our money, and simply advised us to get our damages out of the express company, who was not in the least to biame, as it was a physical impossibility to damage the monstrous box which you see before you in perfect condition. Good Packing the Rule. As a rule it is a pleasure to open a box of plants from most of our large shipping houses. Young roses in large collection, wrapped five of a kind in paper with a long wooden label, a layer of paper dividing the varieties, the box well filled so the plants can not move in transit; they will not get mixed or dam- aged, and the box being of proper strength, the express charges will add but little to the cost of the plants. Soft stuff, such as geraniums, helio- tropes, etc., may be packed in the same manner with damp sphagnum at the roots, and dry excelsior or moss around the foliage for protection. Packed in this manner we have received large boxes of adiantums from Washington, D. C, and never lost over three per cent of the tender plants. Large shipments of the tender plants should be packed in sepa- rate boxes of from forty to fifty pounds each, or if packed in large boxes, a wooden partition should be nailed in after the box is half filled so the bottom layers will not have to carry the entire weight of the contents. Heating and decay are much easier avoided by this precaution. Large cyclamens in bloom, Lorraine begonias, Adiantum Farleyense and plants of this nature travel best in the pots, standing upright in the box, the box crated to the full height of the plants, which must be staked and wrapped with from four to six thick- nesses of paper. Tight packing be- tween the pots is essential to avoid slipping. Large palms, araucarias, dracsenas, etc., with solid pot balls, should be cleated to the ends of the box, foliage to the center. Great care must be used to wrap and tie the root balls, as other- wise they will slip through the cleats and damage is the result. Such large plants should go by freight, at a season when .damage by heat or cold is least expected. During warm weather, ventilating holes must be cut in the boxes, and protected with wire cloth against rats. During cold weather boxes must be lined with several layers of paper and cotton, or corrugated pasteboard. We have re- ceived cases of palms in cold weather, the foliage wrapped in paper, and the spaces between the plants entirely tilled out with short-cut straw. This is light and a good protector against zero weather. Large roses, shrubs and trees for short distance shipping are best packed in bales. Damp straw between and around the roots, a layer of dry material over this, and the bale well tied with rope; over this a covering of burlap to make a clean package that will travel with safety and at special rate. For freight shipments which are some- times weeks in transit, strong boxes with iron corner straps are preferable, and plenty of moisture at the roots is the most essential necessity in this stylo of packing.

Tho crowning beauty of all German irises is traceable to the blood of Iris pallida, the broadest leaved of all, with sworddike foliage often attaining a height of two and one-half feet and an inch and a half across the blade. The flowers are borne on long stems bearing these flowers well above the foliage, al- together })roducing a most charming ef- fect. The variety Dalmatica, or some- times known as Princess Beatrice and occasionally in this country as Madam Almyra, is the finest, with immense flow- ers of a rich lavender blue and with a charming though subtle fragrance.

The change from a long period of scarcity to one of abundant supply was so sudden that the large buy- ers of cheap lots did not have time to get their machinery in operation and it was not so easy to dispose of the accu- mulation as it will be as soon as the cheap sales stores through the country become awake to the fact that their busy season is at hand. This week finds a slightly improved demand, but city trade is still quiet and there are more than abundant supplies in all lines, with the possible exceptions of American Beauty and Bride roses. The greatest diflSculty has been expe- rienced with violets. The spring crop is on and the receipts, both of locally grown singles and Khinebeck doubles, are far the greatest of the year. The re- sult has been that there have been no stable values. The select stock has been picked out at fair figures and the bal- ance has been sold for whatever price it would bring, which was little indeed. The sidewalk salesmen have been able to use violets at 20 cents to 25 cents per hun- dred on pleasant days. When the tem- perature was below freezing they have had no use for them at any price. Valley is a glut and daffodils, jonquils and tulips have been a decided over- supply, 80 that growers' averages are causes for complaint. Callas, which were scarce for months and selling at $2 per dozen, last week became so plentiful that, although many were sold, some were left to go to the waste barrel. Easter lilies are quite plentiful if one does not con- sider quality. Good ones are scarce, the bulk of the stock being short in stem and small and thin in flower. The call for carnations has been drop- ping off wherever buyers have glass of their own. Eeceipts are probably four times as great as they were three weeks ago. There is some poor stock, but most of the receipts are fine. The legitimate demand leaves a large proportion of each day's cut to find its way out through the buyers of thousand lots, which means low averages. The price of carnations has been much ahead of last year all through this season up to the last week. Now it is below the same period for last year. Eoses are faring rather better than other items, for the crops are not so heavy. Quality is excellent and fair business is being done with roses. Brides are not equal to the demand and Beau- ties are not yet in large receipt, but cuts are coming on and there is report that supplies will be hea\7' at Easter. Chat- enay is in good crop with several grow- ers and Kichmond is producing well. The fern situation causes uneasiness. Green goods are not in special demand, but receipts are not heavy and it is not always possible to pick up stock wanted on late orders. The price of adiantum is advancing. Gutialion Green. St. Patrick's day is March 17. It brings a demand for green carnations and all sorts of dyes are offered. Mrs. Frank Beu, in the Flower Growers' Mar- ket, is thought to have been the origi- nator of green carnations, having exhib- ited them at the flower show in 1902. Mr. Beu brought knowledge of the for- mula from Germany years ago. Mrs. Beu says she sold over $100 worth of the dye at the Flower Growers' Market last year. Lily Prospects. The principal theme of discussion is the prospect for lilies being ready for Easter. In spite of the fact that several of the large growers say they will be on time, there is a general sentiment that supplies will be less than usual and prices .'W 1092 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ February 28, 1907.

There is consider- able difference in estimates as to what the market will be, but $15 per hundred is the price at which a number of houses are booking advance orders. It seems not unlikely that the market may go higher, but $15 is a better average than lilies ever made in this market, and a fair basis for early business. The later mar- ket will depend much upon the weather in the next three weeks. Various Notes. H. A. Vent, formerly with J. A. Bud- long, will start in business for himself at Dekalb. He will grow asters and sweet peas this summer and expects to open a retail store next autumn. The A. L. Eandall Co. expresses pleas- ure with the results of the exhibition at Bloomington. A satisfactory number of orders were booked on the spot and oth- ers are coming in daily. George Eeinberg will carry over most of his rose plants this year. He will drop Liberty and Uncle John from the list. He finds Eichmond much the most profitable red rose. A quantity of Eich- mond is being grafted, also a couple of houses of Killarney. Two houses are to be planted to Miss Kate Moulton and part of these will be grafted. August Poehlmann, of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., reports a splendid business in young stock, the demand for cuttings of American Beauty being especially strong. He reports having received a number of orders for field-grown carnation plants for autumn delivery. The Graff-Landfield wedding at the Unity Club Sunday evening was a large affair, a number of those in the trade attending. C. L. Washburn says he thinks lilies will be generally scarce for Easter and refers to a number of inquiries received from those who usually grow their own lilies, but who this year will not have them in on time. The Eetail Florists' Association will meet at Handel hall this evening. In the democratic primaries last week Peter Eeinberg carried his ward for his friend, Harrison. Leonard Kill and a number of growers in the Eose Hill neighborhood were busy getting out the vote. Anton Then writes from Magnolia Springs, Ala., that he is steadily improv- ing in health. Kennicott Bros. Co. will not move to its new location until after Easter. At Washington park the show house is filled with finely flowered azaleas. Notices have been received that T. Mosco, who formerly conducted the flower store in the Masonic Temple, has filed a petition in bankruptcy at Sacramento, Cal. He was in the debt of a number of wholesale houses. The west park commissioners are solic- iting bids for a range of conservatories and greenhouses to be erected in Garfield park. The ground space to be covered is approximately 230x302 feet. Six houses are to be built, averaging in height from twenty-five to sixty feet, the width from fifty to eighty feet, and surrounding a large court covered with glass. Bids are to be opened March 12. E. C. Amling says the call for greens is about the strongest feature of the mar- ket at present. Easter supplies are occupying a con- siderable part of C. W. McKellar's at- tention.

The mother of the Wietor brothers celebrated her seventy-fifth birthday an- niversary February 25. She is still strong and full of pride in her "boys." The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. now has its new store in shape, resplendent in its several coats of white paint. C. M. Dickinson, at E. H. Hunt 's, says if the call for Easter supplies indicates what the cut flower demand will be, we have our biggest holiday almost in sight. Boses are still moving briskly at Zech & Mann's, but carnations go a little slow. Shipping is good with them. Sinner Bros, are just finishing setting a Sterling water tube boiler of 100 horse- power, equipped with a Martin rocking grate. George S. Wood, who served many years as press agent for the Chicago flower show, was one of the passengers on the Pennsylvania's flyer that went into the Conemaugh river February 22. He escaped with a few bruises. S. S. Skidelsky, Philadelphia, was a visitor this week. The Foley Mfg. Co. has certified to an increase in its capital stock from $25,000 to $100,000. Helena, Mont. — Charles O. Horn and Miss Efl5e Wood were married February 21. The bridegroom is 30 years of age and has been in the florists' business for sixteen years. The bride, a popular young lady, has lived in Helena for a number of years. A reception and dance at Germania hall followed the ceremony. ST. LOUIS. The Market Business is holding up fairly well, as there is always something doing at the large establishments. Weddings and parties are scarce just now, but work for funerals kept up pretty well all of last week. In the downtown district they had a violet war last week, trying to corner the market by buying up all the violets at the different wholesale houses. In the residence districts the florists are not complaining much and say trade is much better than expected during Lent. The expected glut in roses has failed to come. Only a few of any of the standard varieties are coming in, so prices on these remain firm. Carnations have dropped a few points. Enchantress is diflScult to dispose of, as there are many more of this variety than any other. Lawson, Nelson Fisher and Boun- tiful are fine in quality and plentiful. Violets, too, have dropped in price. Extra fancy bring only 40 cents now and $3 in thousand lots. Sweet peas are coming in more plentifully and some extra fine pink and white with long stems are in the market. Plenty of bulbous stock is in now, Dutch hyacinths, Von Sions, tulips, Eomans and lily of the valley. Paper Whites are scarce. There are few lilies at present, more callas than Harrisii. Shipping trade among the wholesalers is reported not so good at present. Variouf Note*. George M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, Mo., called Friday of last week on his way to Hot Springs, Ark., with a party of friends. Mr. Kellogg called for a copy of the Eeview and said, "That's one thing I have to have each week." Alex Johnson will this spring build a large store and showhouse at the corner of Easton and Wellston streets. Mr. Johnson has fully recovered from his re- cent illness. The St. Louis Horticultural Society held its regular monthly meeting Feb- ruary 19 at the Hamilton hotel, elected nineteen new members and revised the premium list for the spring show, which is to be held the first week in March in the Masonic temple, on Grand avenue. The list is now in the hands of the printer. There will be no charge for ad- mission. It will be a society affair, ap- pealing to our best people, and will be open from 9:30 a. m. to 10 p. m. Presi- dent Harry Young says everything is in readiness for the show and looks for a large attendance. The list of prizes amounts to over $300, with a great many entries already in. Those wishing copies of the list should address Secretary Otto G. Koenig. The Florists' Club's flower show com- mittee met at the Eozier hotel February 20, and decided to return to the many subscribers their subscriptions they so kindly gave, with a letter explaining why they were returned. Their final report will be made at the next meeting of the club, March 14. There are three vacancies for scholar- ships at the Missouri Botanic Garden. One is to be filled by the Missouri Horti- cultural Society and two by the trustees of the garden. Any one knowing a young man wishing a scholarship should make it known to the trustees.

John Burke reports that he has leased the corner of Sixth and Locust streets for ten years and will open one of the finest stores in the country. The Foster Floral Co., at 507 Olive street, will soon have to vacate its store. Fred Foster says that he has now quarters in view near the old stand riud will make known the new place within the next ten days. Himmers Bros., out at Meramec Highlands, are cutting thousands of extra quality California violets. Nick Himmers reports that they will build a few new houses this summer. E. W. Eastlick, who has established an office here of the Bombayreed Manu- facturing Co., Columbia, S. C, reports quite a number of orders from the local trade and surrounding towns in Illinois and Missouri. Mias Newman, at Spring avenue and Olive street, is making a grand show of blooming plants and choice cut flowers. Charles Schoenle, on the south side, says that they have not as yet felt Lent. Business has been good in all lines, and it must be so from the amount of stock he buys each morning at the commission houses. Walter Retzer, with Mrs. M. M. Ayers, on Grand avenue, is becoming a bowling fan. Walter was high man February 20 out of eight florist bowl- ers. J. J. B. New Castle, Ind. — Meyer Heller, of the South Park Floral Co., has been in New York for several days. NET YORK. The Market. Over in Connecticut the papers say the trailing arbutus has already lifted its sweet face above the snow. But that was a week ago and now we have the long, cold winter back again, .the winter prophesied by William Scott and the beavers, and later by the ground-hog, whose prophesy to come true has only two weeks more to run. Saturday it was hugging zero again. Sunday we had a blizzard and all day the snow came down, until there were six inches on the level. Monday streets were impassable and business was at a standstill. Towards evening it moderated, so that the street merchants appeared with their violets and "25 cents a bunch" again was the cry for all the best shipments of Satur- day and Sunday, for on Saturday night there were half a million violets in the boxes of the wholesalers. Scores of thousands were closed out as low as $2 a thousand and for the best of the few shipments Monday evening never more than 50 cents was offered. There is not any likelihood of advance from these fig- ures before Easter, which now is only four short weeks away. The American Beauty has surely dem- onstrated its place through all the de- pression as the queen of the floral realm. Its price does not retrograde, for of the best stock there is not enough for the demand. Maids and Brides fluctuate in price, top grades holding well at $12 and seldom for the poorest roses in the mar- ket has the cleaning out process taken them below $3. Carnations are abundant and never were of better quality. But there are so many that prices have been greatly shaded and $3 to $4 will buy the finest of the new varieties. The bulk of the sales are ma^e at $3 and under. There are altogether too many tulips. Never has the market been so completely flooded at this season ; $5 a thousand was the price Saturday for most of them, and $10 for narcissi. Valley in every grade is excessive in quantity and low in price. There are plenty of orchids. Gardenias have been cut in two, but lilies are maintained at last week's prices. With clearer and warmer weather this week we look for a great increase in shipments of every kind of stock and we hope business may improve generally. To study the social calendar of the Sun- day journals would indicate an exten- sive crop of events requiring flowers. But the call of Europe and the sunny south is depleting the ranks of the flower buyers rapidly. Many have already gone to France and the Mediterranean voyage is becoming popular. The holiday last week hardly caused a ripple in the wholesale sea. A few loyal florists made their windows gay with red, white and blue effects, but the majority evidently forgot that the immortal George had ever lived. The Club Dinner. The Florists' Club's annual dinner, February 23, was a great success, ex- cept that where there should be 200 at these functions we have to be satisfied with little more than a quarter of that number.

The decora- tions were worthy of a banquet of statesmen. A. J. Forsythe, of the St. Denis, was the artist and his work' at- tracted a host of the guests of the big hotel. There were daffodils from John Young, Welcome from Dailledouze Bros., Alma Ward from C. W. Ward, Winsor from the F. E. Pierson Co., and orchids from Lager & Hurrell, this gen- erous firm providing a handsome Den- drobium nobile for every guest. The menu was fully up to the stand- ard of the house and gave general sat- isfaction. During the progress of the dinner the Scotch airs of the orchestra so wrought upon the exhilarated sensi- bilities of Bob Berry and John Birnie that they burst into song and were ably seconded by the German melodies of Bobby Schultz. The stories of Jack McDonald and songs of Mr. Wade also were pleasing interludes. The whole evening was especially harmonious and it was long after midnight before the last of the guests departed. The Jersey contingent missed the last train, as usual, and were taken in charge by the Eickards brothers until morning. President Totty filled the chair with dignity and suavity and Patrick O'Mara made an ideal toast-master, as usual. His introductions of the speakers were apt, humorous and sincere. He spoke eloquently of the broad interests that should actuate the club's members, the inspirations of the festive board, the aesthetic side of the florists' business and the divine spark of enthusiasm without which no one could become a successful grower. He dwelt upon the need of loyalty to the club and to the national society and closed a brilliant speech with a fine tribute to the charac- ter and ability of President Totty, whose response was full of confidence and glorious appreciation of the club 's loyalty to his efforts in its behalf. The toast to the S. A. F. was re- sponded to by J. C. Vaughan, of Chi- cago. His theme was unity and organ- ization and his plea for the national show at Chicago met responsive greet- ing. He spoke, too, of the wonderful development of the cut flower b^isiness during the last twenty years, illustrafSc with actual accomplishments in his own city, where from a market gardener a millionaire florist has evolved. He told of the messenger boy of that time, with his basket of Bon Silene, Saffrano, smi- lax, heliotrope and alyssum, the begin- ning of the commission business and now with twenty great wholesale houses sending products to every corner of the land. He also took occasion to com- mend the generous cooperation of the great city journals and closed with a strong invitation to New Yorkers to at- tend the national exhibition. Mr. O'Mara paid a glowing tribute to the private gardener in introducing Harry Turner, who responded to the toast, "Estate Development." Mr. Turner gave an interesting account of his experiences in England and dwelt especially on the unlimited possibilities for the legitimate use of funds in his work and the beautiful results that could be accomplished. To the toast, "The Agriculturist and the Horticulturist, ' ' Senator James F. Minturn, of New Jersey, responded. The senator was the surprise promised by the committee and landed by his friend, O'Mara, and his oration was fully up to the expectations, witty, elo- quent, brilliant, historical. The toast, "Our Night, and Memo- ries of the Florists' Club," was ably responded to by Walter Sheridan, whose reminiscences of twelve years on the dinner committee covered all the ground of that eventful period. The toast, "The Work of the Horti- cultural Explorer, ' ' involving ' ' the bravery of the man who risks the dan- gers of discovery," was ably descanted ipon by the intrepid orchid gatherer, .John E. Lager, of Lager & Hurrell, Summit, N, J. His South American experiences were thrilling and most in- teresting. His story would fill a volume and some day it will, for Mr. Lager has a book on orchids on the way. ' ' Exhibitions and Educators ' ' was expounded by John Birnie, who gave many interesting historical facts con- cerning the fine clubs and floral exhi- bitions in Jersey in former years. He also dwelt upon the claims of the "cre- ators ' ' and the discussions of the last few weeks concerning the new varieties of fruit and flower in the golden state. Mr. O'Mara characterized "The Press ' ' as the nation 's educator, the voice of the people, free and untram- meled, and the horticultural press as pro bono publico. The toast was re- sponded to by S. S. Butterfield, who de- clared that the "greatest trouble of the press was to keep from getting into trouble. ' ' The final toast of the evening was 1096 The Weekly Florists' Review^ Fkbbuaby 28, 1907. given in the early morning and, of course, was to the ladies, without whom there would be no floriculture, no gar- den of Eden, no anything. Every good word spoken for the gentler sex struck a responsive chord in the hearts of all, both benedict and bachelor, and so, after votes of thanks to the generous donors of the flowers, and the dinner commit- tee, and the toast-master, and the Sen- ator, the twentieth annual closed with- out the striking of a discordant note and with the strengthening of the ties of friendship among the club's mem- bers that should redound to its pros- perity through all the year. Various Notes. It will be rose night at the club early in March and this and the Washington convention together will make the next meeting of special interest. The date is March 11 and a goodly number of the club's members have already ar- ranged to attend the convention. There will probably be a special car for them. Arthur T. Boddington is making a special run on spiraeas for Decoration day and reports an unprecedented de- mand for everything in the seed and bulb line this season. Siebrecht & Son are sending in from their New Kochelle conservatories daily an abundance of orchids, Killarney and blooming plants of every seasonable kind. M. A. Bowe has had a grip experience of many weeks that has made the win- ter an unhappy memory. He is now convalescing rapidly. Dozens of the florists have had similar experiences. The epidepiic has been widespread and few have escaped except the ' ' health cranks," who claim exemption from all maladies. Lecakes & Co. announce the arrival of a carload of wild smilax and the largest stock of galax they have ever stored. Joseph Penrich and B. S. Slinn, Jr., handle some grand white violets daily. The demand for these is fluctuating and nondependable. When they are wanted they easily double the price of the ordinary variety. Charles Schenck, of Traendly & Schenck, and his bride have returned from their southern trip. John J. Foley, who has been ill since Christmas, has recovered and is on deck at his headquarters on the Bowery as usual. His new "floral fotographs" are much in demand. A visit to the growers now gives an excellent line on what the Easter stock will be. In Flatbush and Bay Bidge the J. M. Keller Co., Charles Zeller's Son, John Scott and Louis Schmutz have already a fine assortment on exhi- bition. Will Siebrecht, at Astoria, R. Dryer, at Woodside, Anton Schultheis, at College Point, and Mr. Darlington, The Hinode Co., Louis Dupuy and Pan- kok & Schumacher, at Whitestone, all have large stocks. Over in Jersey are the Julius Eoehrs Co., Bobbink & At- kins, H. C. Steinhoff, F. Dressel and a host of others on whom the metropoli- tan market depends. The sympathy of the trade goes out to the family of William Adams Bruce, whose death occurred on February 12, at Jersey City. He was the greatly ap- preciated shipping clerk of the J. M. Thorbum Co. for many years. Mrs. Clarke, of Ft.

John Wilson, the rose grower of the firm of Wilschi & Hoy t. Short Hills, N. J., has patented a new greenhouse bench that promises to become popular.

South Bend, Ind. — The South Bend Floral Co. has been busy with some changes in its establishment. New ice- boxes have been installed and Walter Tapper, a rose grower from Philadel- ptija, will take charge of the greenhouse. Albany, N. Y. — W. C. King is about to move to a new location on the corner of Steuben and North Pearl streets, where he will enjoy more commodious quarters. The new store will have fifty feet of frontage and will be fifty feet deep. NEWPORT, R. I. Current G>inment. It is not often that people living in Newport have reason to com{)lain of the severity of the weather, but if it served any good purpose I would not blame them, even the old natives, for grumbling a bit at the weather we are having now. Just think of it! Zero for several nights in February, with the month of January as dark as Lon- don in a fog! Hoses are scarce, and no wonder. How could they be otherwise under such conditions! If roses would bloom freely in weather like we have been having I would go home to Ire- land and make a fortune growing Beau- ties. Roses are high — ^too high for Lent — but they are a distinct luxury, so it does not matter so much. Carna- tions are plentiful and of good quality, but the local supply is not equal to the demand; there are a great many shipped from Boston. Last week an amateur minstrel com- pany played in the opera house two evenings for the purpose of raising the sum of $2,000 to pay up the deficiency in the account of the carnival commit- tee. The efforts of the minstrels dur- ing the first performance so pleased a local gentleman of means that the next morning he sent by messenger an order to several florists to make a large num- ber of bunches of American Beauties and carnations for presentation to every lady participant. The result was a great scurrying to procure the neces- sary material. It was obtained, how- ever, and the good-natured gentleman grumbled not a bit at the bills.

It is hoped that in future they will look at it in the way of one good turn deserv- ing another and will place no obsta- cles in a member's way when desiring to go to the meetings. However, I will let you know later how it will turn out. The excellent project of school gar- dens is now receiving the attention here it deserves. Last year at one large school the children in several grades took great pains with their plots in the school garden. This year it is hoped that several schools will fall in line and perhaps enter into friendly riv- alry for the best kept garden as a whole and for the best products. The Horticultural Society will offer eigh- teen premiums, all cash, for flowers and vegetables, the products of these gar- dens. There is also a likelihood of sev- eral special premiums being offered for the children's garden products. Newport, as nearly everybody knows, is a blaze of glory in the summer. In the majority of places there is but lit- tle grown in the way of cut flowers on private places. There are, however, a few notable exceptions. The most prominent of these is Sea Verge, Com- modore Gerry's place, where there is an immense range of glass, in part de- voted to the growing of flowers and fruit for shipment to New York in win- ter. Arthur GriflSn is gardener in charge here, and if there is one thing he excels in more than another it is melons, with which he has had the greatest success imaginable uninter- ruptedly for a number of years. But this year I think he would rather some- body he was not ovcrfond of had the job of growing them instead of him- self. The seedsmen have come and gone, and good luck to them; I mean next year and every other year. Poor fel- lows, they have rather a hard time of it, there are so many of them; but I think that on the whole they fared pretty well this year. Everyone has a novelty or two, some a dozen. Let them keep up the novelty business; there is money in it. What we need now is a good novelty in the plant line. Who will give us a good one! Ralph Reilly. Peoria, III. — A. Jacobs has gone out of business. Erie, Pa. — Verne Schluraff, of the Schluraff Floral Co., has sold out his retail store, on State street, to Charles D. Offerle, of Warren, Pa.

I I J WASHINGTON. The Market, One of the coldest waves of the win- ter struck Washington February 22, but seemed to affect the stores in no way, as little vacant space is found. Trade is brisk and prices still remain high, owing ing to a scarcity, especially of cut flow- ers. There was a rather large shipment of carnations into the District from Pennsylvania Saturday, which caused a slight stagnation in the market. Not- withstanding an abundance of sunshine home-grown flowers are still scarce and readily command good prices. Lilac is rather plentiful and is the best seller just now. Good azaleas at reasonable prices are in abundance but move slowly. Bulbous stock is not so much in evidence since the beginning of the Lenten season, as most growers are retaining the bulk of their stock for Easter. There are a good many dinners among the society people, which aflford the retailers con- siderable decorative work. Variotts Notes. The next regular monthly meeting of the Washington Florists' Club, and the annual election of officers, will take place at Gude's hall, 1214 F street, N. W., March 5. This will be an important meeting, the last prior to convention. We should be glad to see any of our out- of-town friends who happen to be in the city that night. Enchantress is endeavoring to be long remembered not only for its value to the trade as it now stands, but by reason of its descendent, Rose-pink Enchantress. We hear of the latter from several sec- tions of the country. Two fine sports, so far as is known identical with the first, have favored at least two Wash- ington growers this season. J. L. C. BOSTON. The Market. Trade is slower than a week ago. Flowers are much more abundant, with the single exception of roses, which still continue scarce. The weather has been unusually severe, the lowest readings of the winter being recorded February 23 and 24. Roses are not yet sufficient for demands and prices hold up remarkably well. Beauties are scarce, of the bet- ter grades, but more Richmond and Lib- erty are seen. Killarney is coming in of fine quality and maintains its popularity. Bride and Maid should be fairly plenti- ful within a few days. No particular change in prices of either carnations or violets is noted, al- though both are selling slower than a week ago. Bulbous stocS is in large sup- ply, but there is no glut as in previous years. Sweet peas keep about $1 per hundred and are fine from several grow- ers. Lilies and callas are sufficient for all requirements. Some good antirrhinum is seen, bringing up to $2 per dozen stalks. A variety of other spring flowers are now coming in. Smilax is rather scarce, but adiantum and Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri are in good supply. Various Notes. Welch Bros, report business as excel- lent. In their commodious new quarters they will be able to handle a tremendous Easter trade in plants and flowers and they expect it to far exceed all past years. Mann Bros., who are large bulb grow- ers, are bringing in fine lots of that beautiful double orange tulip, Couronne d'Or. There was a large attendance at th,e funeral of Mrs. William R. Nicholson, at Framingham, February 22, including many in the trade. The floral designs were numerous and beautiful. The sin- cere sympathy of a large number of friends goes out to Mr. Nicholson in his bereavement. A large number of florists and gar- W^ ' ■9™7T?T5 "-'' Fkbbuaby 28, 1907.

It is pretty generally believed that florists and market gardeners will be ex- empted from the rather drastic provi- sions of the proposed law. There were no less than fourteen bills dealing with steam boiler legislation. Peter B. Kobb, of Whitinsville, has in flower a finely grown plant of the beau- tiful Cattleya Trianae Amesiana. The sepals and petals are pure white, with a broad band of delicate pink shaded with violet on the edge of the lip. This is one of the most unique forms of Cat- tleya Trianse in existence. H. H. Barrows & Son, of "Whitman, have a fine exhibit of their Nephrolepsis "Whitmanni at the Park street flower market. They have another new sport which promises to be even better than their two previous introductions. W. W. Edgar & Co. have the finest lot of lilies, azaleas and other Easter plants in their history. They report a small proportion of diseased lilies. Seed merchants report a satisfactory mail trade, but state that the unusually severe weather is delaying market gar- deners from purchasing their supplies. Music at the coming spring exhibition will be furnished by an excellent ladies' orchestra, which will be a pleasing inno- vation. Professor F. W. Kane, state forester of Massachusetts, lectured on "Forestry from a Commercial Standpoint, ' ' at Hor- ticultural hall, February 23. A lively discussion followed the lecture, which de- noted a keen interest in the reforesta- tion question. William Sim, and not S. J. Goddard, exhibited the splendid sweet peas at the club meeting February 19. Mr. Sim also showed the new Boston violet in splendid condition. A telegraphic blunder also gave Mr. Morton an addition to his real name. Primula Kewensis, as shown by Thomas Coles at the last club meeting, took every eye. Mr. Coles states that he gave it precisely the same treatment as Primula obconica. It should make a popular commercial plant. The flowers are fragrant and bright yellow, produced in whorls, on stout flower scapes twelve to eighteen inches high. February, 1907, will be long remem- bered as one of the coldest winter months on record. The cold wave of February 22, 23 and 24 was severe, read- ings from 10 degrees to 30 degrees below zero being recorded within thirty miles of Boston. The abundance of snow pleases lumbermen, but florists will be glad to see the last of it. Henry Wild, of Greenwich, Conn., spent a few days in town last week and attended the club meeting. Carnation night at the Gardeners' and Florists' Club will come March 19, the same week as the annual spring exhibi- tion. Those having novelties are invited to forward same for these meetings. W. H. Elliott is having great success with Killarney and Eichmond roses at his Madbury, N. H., establishment, and is sending in splendid flowers of both varieties. W. N. Cr.mq. MARION, IND. The marriage of Gunnar Teilmann and Miss Maria Banz took place Wednesday evening, February 20, at the Teilmann home, north of the city. This announce- ment will come as a complete surprise to the many friends of Mr. Teilmann. Miss Banz had been in America two years, coming here from Germany. She was a niece of the first Mrs. Teilmann, who died several months ago, and during her sickness she was a faithful attend- ant and nurse. The Rev. Bennett per- formed the ceremony in the presence of a few friends. NEV ORLEANS. FiNDLAY, O. — J. J. Waaland has pur- chased the stock of plants of S. M.

We know of many florists in New Orleans who will count the coal they have been using by the barrels, or even by the buckets, and this only to keep their plants from becoming chilly. This is one point in our favor. Superintendent Joseph Bernard, of the City park, is planting thousands of roses and trees. The New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety held its annual meeting last week. The committee of revision of by-laws presented an amendment to the mode of election to membership and also rec- ommended the appointment of a sub- treasurer during a flower show. Both amendments were approved. After the transaction of business relative to the last convention the meeting adjourned.

M. M. L. PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. The market has shown further shrink- age in values during the last week, noticeable especially on carnations, sweet peas, lilac and valley. Migno- nette, too, has depreciated, owing, chiefly, to lack of quality. It is rather difficult for bulbous flowers to depre- ciate in value. Golden Spur, as re- corded last week, being lower than in the memory of man. Tulips, too, are pretty cheap; even the buyers say that and the quality in general is fair. Daffodils are rather less plentiful than a week ago, but they, too, are cheap. Freesia has passed its glory. There are plenty of good flowers about, but they are less plentiful and lower in price. Paper Whites can still be seen, but Romans are practically over, so far as the quality is concerned. Easter lilies have fallen off a trifle, and white lilac can now be had at bargain prices. Vio- lets are in good supply, of fine quality, and at the current prices, which are fair for the season, they sell pretty well, the street men clearing up the day-old stock at reasonably good figures. Carnations are in moderately good supply, of fine quality and in fair demand. Eoses shortened up a trifle since a week ago. Some fine Bride, Bridesmaid and Richmond are coming in. Beauties are so scarce that the extra and medium grades are practic- ally out of the market, specials of fair quality and what the street terms "bum shojrts, " being in evidence. Sweet peas are plentiful and of fine quality. Pink are in fair demand, but white are rather hard to sell. Prices are unusually low for the season. Greens have been selling well. Pittville.

Their rule is as absolute, though less arbitrary, than that of Senator McNichol or of the Vare brothers. For every florist who wants good roses, geraniums or other garden plants encompassed by well burnt clay in standard sizes knows one or the other of these places to be his Mecca at some time during the busy spring. Great, then, was the consternation in North Philadelphia, Kensington, Tioga and Germantown when it became known last summer that Charles Meckey had pulled up his stakes, removing his en- tire plant from the built-up section at Seventeenth and Erie streets to a place called Pittville, nobody knew just where. The Review, being, as you know, most progressive, dispatched Phil to ascer- tain where that might be. It proved an easy task, the Willow Grove trolley con- necting with those in Chelton avenue to Limekiln pike, and there you are. Mr. Meckey, Jr., was hard at work but kindly led the way through some fifteen well-built houses. About two- thirds are the old houses rebuilt, the re- mainder being entirely new. The place, containing some 40,000 square feet of glass, is built in the shape of the letter Ij, bound by a connecting passage way. The new rose houses are one side, run- ning east and west. The older houses run north and south, opening into as fine a boiler and packing shed as could be wished.

The sides of the boner-pit are of stone or concrete. The other half of the shed, which is perhaps 40x75 feet, is for potting and loading the wagons. The moving and building, which occupied the entire summer and part of the autumn, interfered with the usual fall crop, but indications were seen everywhere of a large output this spring. There is a fine barn and plenty of land, but even out here the place is already bordered by a fringe of dwell- ing houses. Various Notes. B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., returned on Monday after a seven weeks' busi- ness trip. Mr. Eschner says that he never saw the country in more pros- perous condition. His test of prosper- ity is his order book. J. D. Eisele has returned to Riverton safe and sound, after a stormy passage across the Atlantic. Berger Bros, move on Friday to their new quarters, formerly occupied by Du- mont & Co., 1305 Filbert street. They take with them all their consignors and present business and add the business of the former tenants. Stockton & Howell, of Princeton, N. J., are send- ing them extra fine Brides and Brides- maids. Frank Gaul, manager of the Century Flower Shop, is ill with typhoid fever at his home in Darby. Mr. Gaul has many business friends who wish him a speedy recovery. The managers of the Florex Gardens are busily engaged receiving and stor- ing the material for the mammoth new house, which will cover an acre and a half of ground. P. J. Lynch, secretary and treasurer of the Dingee & Conard Co., of West Grove, Pa., will deliver an address be- fore the Florists' Club in Horticultural hall next Tuesday evening on the mail- ing plant business. David Rust, chairman of the Florists ' Club's house committee, laid the club- room need for the sinews of war to pay for a new bowling alley so persuasively before the members that it was a pleasure to vote for the necessary ap- propriation. The Wm. Graham Co. has received the entire orders for Easter plants from two large department stores, John Wanamaker and Gimbel Bros. It is said that this will consume about one- half the Hugh Graham Co. 's stock of Easter plants at Logan. Herbert G. Tull, treasurer of the Henry A. Dreer Co., reports an increase over last February in their seed mail orders. F. R. Matsinger, of Palmyra, N. J., expects to retire from the ranks of the growers. Arthur A. Niessen, secretary and treasurer of the Leo Niessen Co., has his office force domiciled in the second story of the new building at 1209 Fil- bert street. Mr. Niessen keeps in close touch with every department of the company's large business. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have a pretty novelty in the so-called Japanese air plant, or green sea moss, much prized for its decorative beauty. Mr. Berko- witz has just returned from another flying trip. The Henry F. Michell Co. lays great stress on having the store from front window to back, always neat and at- tractive. Answers to G>rrespondents.

Ans. — I have been able to get some seedlings by allowing the spores to fall on the soil around the plants, although it is said to be a mule. A few Adian- tum hybridum can be obtained from spores. They can be readily produced in quantity by removing the lower third from pot-bound plants and placing this mass of roots in sphagnum moss in a case with a gentle bottom heat. Treat them as you would seedlings. They should start quickly and grow rapidly. Phil. Rose Night at Philadelphia.

The thermometer hit the minimum temperature for the winter again last Saturday morning, dropping to 9 degrees at 7 o'clock. The keen wind which sprang up developed into icy blasts that almost penetrated into the warmest houses and at present writing a heavy snow storm is on hand. Great diflBculty was experienced in making deliveries of cut flowers. Society has been in full blast, many banquets were held and Washington's birthday was observed in a patriotic way that called for several decorations, so that business may be said to be as good as coul^ be expected. Lent being on, when a little decrease generally takes place. Funeral work has shown some falling off. However, all stock is dis- posed of. Roses and carnations have been a little more abundant. Sweet peas are short in supply. Oallas are steadier. Bulbous stock can be had in any quan- tity. Harrisii come in steadily. Violets are equal to the demand and sell nicely. Various Notes. Last Saturday Mr. Eberhardt was in the market with a full stall of hyacinths, four in a pan, offering them at 20 cents a pan, and uisposed of a large number. M. J. Hannigan is cutting some extra fine American Beauty roses. He is also picking extra fine single violets. P. B. Welsh, Glyndon, Md., has picked and disposed of nearly 200,000 seeds of Asparagus plumosus. He is well known as one of the best bulb growers in Mary- land and one of the most enterprising men in the business. W. O.

Little FaUs, N. Y. THOMAS WILLIAMS, Jordanville,N,Y. Mention The Review when you write. I would like to know what is the matter with these bulbs. About eighty per cent are as described. We gave them the same treatment we have been giving our bulbs the last three or four years. This year we planted them in flats September 25, placed them in a bench and covered them with six inches or so of ground. Some eight or ten weeks later I examined them and they were nicely rooted. The second week in December we removed them from the trench and placed them in an old shed, so that we could get them when we \vanted them. The flats on being placed in the shed were frozen solid. During January we had a thaT/ and the flats were thawed completely ; a week or so later they were again frozen solid. Might this have been the cause? [ can hardly think so, although I do not know to what else to attribute the trou- ble, excepting perhaps that they may have been cold storage bulbs a year old.

Callas for winter blooming prefer a house where a night temperature of 55 degrees to 60 degrees is maintained. no6 The Weekly Florists' Review* ITebruaby 28, 1907. They will, however, succeed in one kept 5 degrees cooler, which would suit car- nations. The callas can be grown on the center beds and carnations on the sides. If the houses will be needed for bedding plants after April 1 we would not advise planting the bulbs in the benches, as is sometimes done. Plant one strong bulb in a 6-inch pot or three in an 8-inch pot as soon as pro- curable in late summer. Use a compost of two-thirds fibrous loam and one-third well dried cow manure, with a good dash of sand mixed in. A little bone meal can also be used. Keep outdoors in a warm, sunny location until danger from frost threatens, when they can be placed where they are to flower. When the pots are well filled with roots, feed liberally, using liquid manure twice a week. The plants will continue blooming until Me- morial day, after which date they can be gradually dried off and laid on their sides until about August 1. Callas will grow vigorously the year around, and a good way to strengthen the plants is to plant them out in an open, sunny spot in rich earth, cultivate freely around them and pot up about the middle of August, keeping as many roots intact as possible. If kept well syringed they will suffer little from the check and soon fill the pots with roots. Plants treated in this way will produce larger and finer flowers than when the drying off method is practiced. C. W. , I COULD not run my business without the KEViEvsr. — S. J. HiDER, Hillsboro, 0.

A NUMBER of vegetable growers at Grand Rapids, Mich., have organized a corporation with $20,000 paid in capital to take over their plants, erect a new central plant and grow vegetables on a large scale. They do not hope to in- fluence the markets, but to gain an ad- vantage in centralization and cooperative purchases. VEGETABLE MARKETS.

BLIGHTS OF VINE CROPS. Tlie season of 1906 in Ohio showed more than the usual amount of loss on cucumber pickles and muskmelons, from disease. Three distinct diseases are known to have occurred and these prob- ably indicate four or more separate dis- eases. In the order of occurrence the first that I mention is the wilt. This disease shows itself by sudden wilting of parts of the vine and results either from inoculation of a bacterium or of a fun- gus, Fusarium, often being accomplished by stink-bugs. As yet we have not been able to propose anything better than the pulling and burning of diseased vines as they occur. Some experienced grow- ers report to me a loss of fifty per cent of the vines from the wilt trouble in 1906. Of the leaf diseases we have two that pass under the name of melon and cucum- ber blight, namely, the downy mildew, Plasmopora Cubensis and the leaf blight, Alternaria. Both of these can be con- trolled by proper spraying with Bordeaux mixture, beginning on the young vines and repeating at intervals of two weeks until the critical season, when ten-day intervals may prove better, owing to the amount of new growth and of rain. The critical period for Ohio begins with the first part of August, and rarely comes earlier than August 10 through the north- ern half of the state. This is the period when the downy mildew spread over the state last year and cut oflf practically all unsprayed vines of cucurbits, both melons and cucumbers. Occasionally fields were not struck until early Sep- tember. The downy mildew sweeps our state as early as above stated during warm midsummers, but may be delayed two weeks in cool seasons like that of 1904 or 1905. The leaf blight of the muskmelon does not show particularly until the melons are of good size and the susceptibility of the vines reaches its highest point. De- spite this fact, thorough spraying with Bordeaux mixture has always proved profitable when it has been followed out on right principles. Of course the spray- ing is not a remedy for the wilt disease that has already been mentioned. Each season increases the evidence as to the certain profits to be derived from proper spraying of muskmelon and cucumber vines. A. D. Selby. THRIPS AND LETTUCE. * ' I see a great deal of talk about stem- rot and fungi at the roots of plants, but the proper name for nine out pf ten cases is thrips. If the man who finds stem-rot looks closely he will find a lit- tle black half fly and half mosquito- looking insect. It first attacks the ten- der leaves of the plant and punctures them and when they open there is a black ring of rot around the edges. If the house is kept closed, as in cloudy weather, leaf -rot is the consequence. It next deposits its eggs in the top soil and soon a grub makes its appearance. This is so small that it is almost im- possible to detect it with the naked eye. It looks like a small maggot, but under a strong glass it has all the appearance of thrips, except in color; but as it gets older it turns brown. ^ Now this little fellow goes"N3own to the extremities of the roots and destroys the fiber. The stem as well as tne roots take on a brown, dirty appear- ance, as if they had been in ground that had too much acid. As long as it remains cloudy the inect stays in the ground, but as it gets older it comes to the surface. If on a bright day, about 2 o'clock, you will take away from your lettuce some of the leaves that have been on the ground and shake them you will see a shower of these in- sects. I saw where some one asked about his lettuce plants damping or being at- tacked by mildew. If the party will notice in the future he will, by taking off some of the leaves that have fallen and spreading them out on a piece of paper, find thrips. They are very small at this stage. They puncture the small plants at the top of the ground and the plant falls over and dies. As to the remedy, the only thing 1 have been able to do is to hold the tem- perature down. The fly will lay its eggs, but they will not hatch when it is cold. When they get out of the ground and on the lettuce, smoke will fix them. I do not know any remedy while they are in the ground and would be glad for any information on that point. E. S. Snell. Please find enclosed $1 for your tip top paper. — Wm. Walker, Louisville, Ky.

The mail trade is beginning to take on seasonable activity and a big rush is certain for the next sixty days. The wholesalers and jobbers are on the jump. They will be cleaned up in fine shape if business holds to as late a date as usual. It is reported that some of the Cali- fornia growers will have to cut., their onion seed acreage down from lack of bulbs to plant. In the east the seed trade reports market gardeners slow in placing orders, because of the cold weather of the latter part of February. Fawcett Bros. Co. has started in the seed and agricultural implement business at 1522 Commerce street, Tacoma, Wash. H. I. Fawcett is manager. It is reported that the stock of seeds that Sears, Boebuck & Co. had arranged for, of the 1906 crop, and which they had no use for on account of cutting out their seed department, has been pretty well disposed of to other parties. The pea growers report that one-half the acreages for the coming year's plantings have been secured at about the same terms as last year. It is thought that the additional acreage needed may not be secured without pay- ing considerably higher prices. The general report is that mail busi- ness for the first two months of the year is no more than equal to last sea- son. While there are houses that report an increase, others are non-commital, and and it is a fair deduction that the aver- age returns from catalogues are to date not ahead of a year ago.

There is danger that much of the com which has been saved for seed through- out the northwest may be useless for that purpose and warning is given to the farmers to assure themselves betimes that their seed corn is all right. A. K. Bush, a former member of the state legislature from Olmstead county, Min- nesota, who is now in charge of the seed testing department of Northrup, King & Co., of Minneapolis, estimates that fully forty per cent of the seed corn is no good.

NEW YORK state as in the Dakotas, it follows that seed corn is in a similar condition. "Usually farmers do not test their seed until just before planting time, and if it should prove to be bad, they are in a serious predicament. "For several years corn has increased in importance in this state and it is now one of the leading crops. A loss of a large portion of the seed would be a serious misfortune to the farmers, and consequently to the state." Jesse E. Northrup, of Northrup, King & Co., realizing the importance to the state of insuring a bountiful corn crop next year, has authorized the newspapers to announce to the farmers that his firm will test free of charge all seed corn sent to it for that purpose, and send a careful report.

In my seeds of the new Spencer type of sweet pea last spring I found that the imported seed would not germinate if planted early in cold ground. We had heavy cold rains and the majority rot- ted. Later planting gave better results. Therefore I would counsel florists not to sow the new type seed until the soil is fairly dry and warm. In most catalogues I notice that the advice is still given to hoe the earth up to the growing plants. This does not matter in a dry season, but in a wet one the wet earth rots out the vine at the crown and the plant dies. The experi- ments of both the Eev. W. T. Hutchins and myself conducted through years conclusively proved this. Magee Pratt. ASTILBE DAVIDI. Astilbe Davidi is a new hardy plant of great promise from western China. It is closely allied to the long-known pink- flowered herbaceous spiraea, Astilbe Chinensis, but differs in much taller growth, reaching five or six feet when established in rich, moist soil, and in later blooming, as well as the color of the massive inflorescence, wliich is rosy purple with blue anthers in Davidi and light pink in Chinensis. The plants are absolutely hardy, needing no protection but their own feathery foliage, which dies down in winter, as in all species of the genus. The bloom heads, which are often nearly two feet long, appear in late July. They are very showy, and are carried in a noticeably erect manner. The foliage retains its decorative appear- ances until late in autumn. This excel- lent novelty, as well as other members of the genus, may be easily grown in every garden, but appears to best ad- vantage when planted in rich soil. It is so hardy and apparently long-lived that it should readily find favor. It seeds with some freedom, and may readily be increased in this manner or by division of the clumps in spring or fall. — Rural New-Yorker. NEPHROLEPIS EXALT AT A, The fronds of Nephrolepis exaltata arise in clumps, and at their bases pro- duce long stolons covered with whitish scales and carrying with them buds which are capable of producing plants at some distance from the parent. This involves a facility of propagation which has been so largely availed of as probably to ac- count for the lack of variation in this species until recent years, since sports are far more apt to occur through seeds or spores than through buds.

Mention The Review when you write. has, moreover, informed me of the singu- lar fact that when spores of N. exaltata are sown that species has never appeared in its own form in the resulting crop, which invariably consists of a batch of an allied but distinct and softer-fronded type, N. Zollingeriana or rufescens. So persistently indeed has this occurred that sowings of the normal form have been discontinued. As against this, however, we have the fact that the highly decom- posite varieties recently obtained are un- doubtedly referable to N. exaltata, and have presumably originated from spores of that species. Unfortunately, however, for the scientist, the members of the trade, with whom these variants largely originate, can tell us little or nothing of their origin. The ferns are raised by millions from spores, and in immense numbers by other propagative means, such, as buds, stoloniferous or other, and every now and again a prize turns up among the resulting plants, probably only developing its character when it has been shifted more than once. — Gardeners' Chronicle.

What January lacked in trade activity and other favorable conditions is more than being compensated for in opposite extremes the present month. This means balmy days, plenty of good stock and a right brisk demand for everything. Socially, we are keeping up with the procession, having recently entertained such notables as Miss Olga Nethersole and William Jennings Bryan, whose vis- its certainly gave impetus to trade. We cannot omit speaking of a fine run of wedding work, where metropolitan ideas were displayed, and never were there so many orchids and valley used. As for funeral orders, there is no limit to them, the high death rate being large- ly due to atmospheric conditions. Our rainy season begins in November and continues until late in the spring and the Oregonian has become so accustomed to this order of things that when we ex- perience a week or two of advanced spring weather the effect is similar to what is known as an open winter in the east. St. Valentine's day relieved the mar- ket of the entire supply of violets and much other fine stock. We are never caught napping on that date and all our foolish ideas were brought into action. In the same week began the Chinese New Year, which is celebrated in true celestial fashion by our 3,000 Mongolian inhabitants. When we first came to the coast we rebelled against the seeming necessity of mastering the Chinese lan- guage, lyhich is as essential here as Ger- man is in Milwaukee. While we do not agree with John in his ideas of dress and diet, nevertheless we admire his love for flowers and his ability to drive a bar- gain. This event is a good time to dis- pose of a surplus stock of azaleas and we were prepared for it. When pur- chasing cut flowers the highly scented ones are his favorites. At this writing there is an abundance of everything of the finest quality and we hope this may continue until the end of the season. Closely following the cold snap in Jan- uary we were visited by a severe storm of sleet and rain, which was appropri- ately termed by the press, silver thaw. It lasted two days and, while beautiful to look upon, this phenomenon proved most disastrous to the trees and shrubs. Many grand old trees, which were the pride of pioneers and pleasure of the present generation, were crippled beyond recognition by the heavy coating of ice. The more tender ones were completely ruined by the weight of their burden. The city park, the plaza and several of our fine estates, which it has taken a half century to beautify, will be dis- figured for years to come. We have never seen it's equal and everything will get a, pruning this spring, whether it is needed or not.' A. Currie, Jr., representing Currie Bros. Co., of Milwaukee, is here making a successful effort to obtain some of the coast trade. H. J. M.

ThcMarkcU We are now well into Lent and busi- ness is as well as we can expect. Funeral orders have provided the bulk of the re- ceipts of the retailers for the last two weeks and trade in this line is good. The weather is warm again, with light show- ers every few days, and everything is conducive to an abundance of blooms. The price of carnations has taken an- other drop, owing to their quantity, and the best fancy sorts do not net the grow- ers more than $2.50 per hundred, while plainer sorts can be had at from $1 to $1.50 per hundred. Roses have not shared this fate and good Brides, Beauties and Maids are yet in short supply and only medium quality. We have been expecting a slump in prices, but they will not be any cheaper until the supply is larger. Bulbous stock is low in price. Paper Whites, although not as plentiful as they have been, can be purchased at $5 per thousand and single and double daffodils at only a short advance on these figures. Indoor bulb stock, such as valley and Romans, is only in fair demand and there is plenty to supply all comers. Romans have not been in great favor this season and only a few Dutch hya- cinths have been offered for sale in the stores. A few good tulips are seen, but they are also of slow sale. Variom Notes.

Enchantress car- nations are also good. Trade in the re- tail department is heavy. Funeral work keeps them busy. Felix. COLUMBUS, OHIO. J. E. Hellenthal has remodeled his store and put in a large mirror. Stock at the greenhouses is looking first-class. Eoses are in heavy crop, with the last two weeks of sunshine the growers are making heavy cuts. Lilies are coming along nicely, just right for Easter; also a lot of hybrid roses and Baby Eam- blers. Mr. Hellenthal has a sport of En- chantress, a cerise pink, well built flower, more fringed than Enchantress. The flower is three and one-half inches in diameter. His carnations are a grand sight and are in heavy crop. His grower may be credited with the faculty of knowing how to get the best results out of this class of stock. C. M. J.

PACIFIC COAST NURSERIES. EiVERSiDE, Wash. — J. A. Pansier, of Pogue Prairie, and F. W. Hoffman, of Wenatchee, will establish a nursery on Evergreen ranch, Pogue Prairie, and another at Wenatchee, They will this year plant at each place about 50,000 apple root grafts and 4,000 cherry trees. A. T, Gossman and F. L. Kimball, repre- senting the Columbia and Okanogan Nursery Co., have been in Riverside for several days, looking up a location for a nursery. Their company already has nurseries in Wenatchee and Chelan. PRIVET CUTTINGS. Privet, large or small, is good stock to have on hand, the demand for it is constantly increasing. Although it would have been better, perhaps, if the cuttings had been taken off the hedges, or the other stock plants, a month or two ago and buried, after being tied up in bundles in sand or soil until spring, still it is not yet too late to do the work if the young wood is all right, which can easily be discerned by ob- serving if the bark is firm and green on the wood. If it is, it is in good condi- tion. If the wood is winter-killed the bark will come off almost at a touch, and besides, it will have changed on the under side from green to a brown- ish black. When the wood is taken off for cuttings it can be cut up into the proper cutting lengths now or simply tied up in bundles as it is cut off the bushes, and the cuttings made just be- fore putting them in the nursery rows in early spring. In whichever case, they ought, even now, to be buried, or at least covered and left so until spring weather sets in and nursery work gets under way. R. R. PERENNIAL PLANTS. Seeds of perennial plants are usually sown in the late summer or autumn in order that they may develop into such a state of maturity as to enable them to- flower the year following.

A light mulching of short, strawy litter may be spread over the ground to hold the moisture, removing it as the seedlings appear. There are many named varieties of T. occidentalis, which are usually grafted on seedlings of the common type in spring or early summer under glass. They also may be increased by cuttings taken in late summer and placed in a frame or cold greenhouse. They will be calloused before spring, and if then given some bottom heat will soon make roots. Thuya gigantea may be in- creased by either cuttings or grafting. In selecting cuttings those rubbed oflf with a heel are to be preferred. The soil should be of a sandy nature. The various retinisporas, such as plu- mosa, plumosa aurea, pisifera, ericoides, obtusa, .etc., propagate readily from young, side-shoot cuttings in the same way as the. thuyas. Seed may also be used, but cuttings preserve the type best. August is a good month to propagate them in coldframes. Seed is probably best sown under glass in early spring, gradually hardened off and then trans- planted to the open ground. The various pines are raised from seed sown in coldframes early in spring in "•V Febbuabt 28, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review.

The young seedlings need protecting by lath shades or screens during the hot, dry weather and should be kept moist but not wet. Pinus Strobus, if soaked in warm water for twenty-four hours be- fore sowing, will germinate much quick- er and more readily. The piceas, of which the blue spruce is a representative, are chiefly increased by seed sowing. The seed, if kept cool during winter, can be sown early in spring in beds outdoors or in cold- frames. Seedlings will need the lath screen protection afforded other coni- ferae. The rarer sorts, like P. pungens, are usually propagated by grafting on Picea alba or excelsa, also by layering. The stocks are potted up and kept close and moist until established, usually in late summer. They are then gradually hardened. The grafting is done in the greenhouse from January to March. Veneer grafting is best where stock and scion are of equal size, but side graft- ing may also be done with success. Wax the grafts over thoroughly, place in a close frame and syringe freely until well started. Gradually harden off. Picea pungens seedlings are less desirable than grafted plants, as they lack the beauti- ful blue color and are more weedy in habit. The various abies, of which A. pecti- nata, silver fir; A. balsamea, balsam fir; A. Nordmanniana, A. concolor, white fir; A. Pinsapo, Spanish fir; and A.

The latter process is more easy than in the case of Picea pungens. In the case of juniperus, seeds do not germinate until the second or third year. Grafting and root cuttings are all used as methods of increasing stock. Cuttings should be of wood nearly mature, in a frame or greenhouse. Layering may also be resorted to. C. SHRUBS FOR A SUCCESSION. The importance of obtaining a suc- cession of bloom in a shrubbery planting scheme has been pointed out by the Na- tional Council of Horticulture.

Mark Aitken, of Springfield, Mass., has given up growing bedding plants, finding it more profitable to use all available space for flowering stock, of which he has an increasing demand. J. Schlatter & Son, of Springfield, are stocked up for a big cemetery demand. Frank Burfitt has the finest lilies to be seen in the vicinity of Springfield. He says there is something in the grow- ing and not all in the bulb. I understand that A. N. Pierson, at Cromwell, Conn., intends throwing out his entire stock of old roses and has 125,000 fine, thrifty, young plants com- ing on to take their place. He has an immense stock in sight for Easter. H. W. Field, of Northampton, Mass., has his store finely fitted up, with a cap- ital show window that sets it off to ad- vantage. Those grand Enchantress and the white seedling from Patten, which Grower Harry Sinclair believes is the best of its class, are also attractions. John Clark, the right bower of the H. E. Fiske Co., of Somerville, Mass., was badly shaken up in the railroad ac- cident which occurred here recently and could hardly believe he was as sound as before until his palm was crossed by the claim agent. Being in the midst of a rush it was fortunate that it was no worse, as seedsmen are valuable. The Salisbury estate, at Worcester, Mass., will be given over to the Arts and Crafts Institute, which will continue the greenhouses with Charles Carlson in charge. This is his thirty-second year as superintendent. W. M. ELBERON, N. J. The Elberon Horticultural Society held its regular meeting February 18, Presi- dent Robertson in the chair and a goodly number present. James Kennedy, super- intendent for G. W.' Young, read an in- teresting and instructive paper on "Out- door Roses." An interesting discussion followed. Seldom has there been such a large exhibit of cut flowers as at this meeting. The exhibitors and their principal ex- hibits were: Vase of Freesia Purity, by P. Murray; gardenias, by W. D. Rob- ertson; Stock Beauty of Nice and a vase of Carnation Victory, by A. Bauer; vase of calla lilies, by H. Wood; bou- quet of Princess of Wales violets, by A. Greil; vase of tulips, by J. Kennedy; Annottncefflent- — Aristocrat As we have not made all the deliveries of Aristocrat as promised, we beg to announce to our patrons that all orders are being filled sirictly in rotation and all orders will be completed by the 2utb of March, as we have 50,000 cuttings in the sand nearly rooted and 150,000 cuttings that have been put in during the past ten days. These will be ready for delivery before the end of March, which is not too late for Aristo- crat, as it is a very rapid grower, free from disease and will do as well as earlier cuttings when benched in the fall The variety is an easy rooter, but owing to the very unfavorable weather, cuttinKS did not root as quickly as we expected; besides we are growint^' them cool, which takes a little longer. All of the stock we have sent out has given the best of satisfaction, as it is our aim to see that every cutting is first-class in every respect. We wi»b to thank our patrons for their patience and assuring you of our very best attention and that your order will be filled by the time stated. CHICAGO CARNATION CO. A. T. Pyfer, Mgr. JOLIET, ILL.

Unlike most pinks, the brightest sun does not injure the color. Sire— 3 to 4 incnes in diameter when established. Odor — Pleasing;, but not stronc. Stems— Invariably strong, but always graceful, rang- ing: from 12 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, etc.— A very quick, active grower, making specimen plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On ac- count of its rapid growth, requires supporting very soon after benching. Gets away rapidly, blooms early and gives long stems ri^ht from the start. Prodact* Iveneas — Prodigious is the l>est word we know of to use here. It is the most incessant bloomer, early and late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. No discount. Price tl2.U0 per lUU; tlOO.OO per lOUQ. THE H. WEBER & SONS CO., Oakland, Md.

The Market We are now well into the Lenten sea- son and trade has dropped off badly. However, the first two weeks are always the worst and in a few days we will probably forget all about Lent. The weather has been cold, with a few snow storms, but there has been sun- shine most of the last two weeks and as a result stock is coming in quite plen- tifully. Daffodils and Trumpet Major narcissi, which were so much in demand, will not now tempt buyers at $1 per hundred. Sweet peas and violets are almost as bad, bright weather bringing in great quantities of them, and prices have > dropped; job lots are to be had at any time. Carnations are plentiful for the first time this winter. Eoses still hold their own and are the only things which continue to bring good prices, but the stock is fine what there is of it. The retail shops are complaining about things being dull, but that is caused by the change from working day and night to doing an ordinary day's business. They are taking advantage of the cheaper flowers and the windows are beautiful. Various Notes. Miss E. B. Maxwell, of Wilkinsburg, had a bad scare February 23. The build- ing next her store was burned out and it was expected her store would go with it. Miss Emma, however, held the fort with her ledger under one arm and the cash-box under the other, but fortunately she escaped much damage. Ed McCoUum, of the Pittsburg Flo- rists' Exchange, has been unfortunate of late, falling several weeks ago and dis- abling one arm, and last week was laid up with the grip. Mrs. W. L. Trumpore, wife of W. L. Trumpore, of J. H. Small & Sons, New York, has- been here attending the fu- neral of her mother, who was buried Sunday, February 24. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is re- ceiving some fine Maids, Brides and Riehmonds from Bakerstown. A. M. Murdoch, who has been away from his place of business for the last five weeks' on account of illness, is again at his post. Hoo-Hoo. Bloomington, III. — A fire at 3 a. m.

Foster Avenue, CHICAGO Mention The Review when yon write. WICHITA, KAN. It's a long time since any remarks emanating from this immediate neigh- borhood have appeared in the Eeview. As we are still doing things, a few words may be appreciated by some of the readers. Christmas is now but a dream, but to us in Wichita a very pleasant dream, as business was far in advance of the pre- vious year and the beautiful weather at that time made business a real pleasure. Since that time trade has been brisk and stock particularly scarce, but of good quality in spite of the long spells of cloudy weather, which sunny Kansas neither appreciates nor is accustomed to. Of bourse now our thoughts are all on Easter and whether this, that and the other is going to be just right or wrong is causing the careful grower many a bad quarter of an hour. A visit to one of the larger places found the stock in good shape. Easter lilies were promising, both in excellence and in numbers. Hydrangeas, Kamblers and other things which are used so much as Easter offerings were all in fine con- dition and the place had a neat and prosperous appearance. It is reported that C. P. Mueller will soon vacate his present quarters and move two doors south into a more commodi- ous building with an imposing front and a large, admirable show window. May the report prove true, as Wichita is really entitled to a more up-to-date flower shop than it at present possesses. Another greenhouse is in course of construction, but not having seen it can say nothing as to its dimensions or the use to which it is to be put. Later on we will say more on this subject. Few roses are grown here, the great central market of Chicago being relied on for most of the supply, with Pleas- ant Hill, Mo., a close second. Since it has been proved that good roses can be successfully grown, no doubt the area devoted to this important flower will be increased. Importing roses from out- side points at $10 and $12 per hundred, be the stock ever so good, is not very profitable to Wichita retailers, as the community considers anything over $2 as highway robbery, $3 causes spasms and a nervous clutching at the pocket book, and any one having the temerity to ask $4 would probably furnish busi- ness for the undertaker. However, we are all getting along fine and enjoying life. P. G. B. To Growers of Palms, Ferns, Hcus, etc.^ who wish to make room for their Easter Stock. CALL AT ONCE ON C. C.

The sun still continues to play hide and seek among the clouds, but we are all thankful for what little sunshine we do get, as it has noticeably increased our cuts. The market is still active and as yet has not felt the coming of Lent. All the stores report a large increase of business on St. Valentine 's day over that of a year ago. Stock is still scarce, and roses and white carnations are still at the famine point. The coming of large supplies of bulbous stock has helped out a great deal, but does not seem to have affected the steady demand for carna- tions and roses. Harrisii are more plen- tiful now, but are being used up fast and callas are moving along nicely. The outlook for Easter is good and all report a prospect of fine lily crops. Qub Meeting:. The Florists' Club met February 18 and had a record-breaking attendance of twenty-six. The evening was for the most part given over to the vegetable growers, who made the most of it, with talks about the growing of cucumbers, lettuce, etc. Mr. Strong gave an inter- esting talk about sub-irrigation, as ex- perimented with on his place, by the State Agricultural College. The club de- cided to give an exhibition the third Monday in April, and a committee was appointed to look after the details. It will consist of bedding stock and cut blooms, also exhibits of vegetables. S. S. Skidelsky was present and gave an in- teresting talk and several pointers, which if followed will help the local club to success. Dues were collected and came in so fast that they nearly swamped our honorable treasurer, Mr. Stover. G. F. Crabb is now able to sit up in bed and hopes soon to be around again. H. F. C. Growers Form Corporation. The Grand Rapids Herald of Febru- ary 21 says: "Believing that their busi- ness can be better conducted under a Bort of cooperative plan, several promi- nent greenhouse men of this city met last evening and formed a stock com- pany to conduct their business, and also make an extension in the shape of a large central greenhouse. The meeting was held in the office of William B. Brown and the new company was, organized with a capital of $160,000, of which $90,000 is paid in. It will be known as the Grand Eapids Greenhouse Co. The idea is not to discard the present plants owned by the different members of the company, but to operate them all under the central management and in addition to build a large central greenhouse on some railroad where shipping facilities will be of the best. This central plant will be built as soon as a suitable loca- tion can be found. Officers were elected as follows: President, F. M. Strong; secretary, Frank J. Cook; treasurer, Ed- ward Taylor; manager, S. J. Perry. The members expect the enterprise will pay from ten to twelve per cent on the in- vestment. Stock will be placed on the market at once."

The new greenhouses being built by Stoke & Stoke are centrally located and just what has been needed in this vicin- ity for some time. Will E. Stoke re- cently sold his newspaper plant, which he had conducted for the last twenty years, so that he could devote his time to the florists' business, which his wife, Ella M. Stoke, had built up until it re- quired more than one to look after it. The two houses will be 20 by 80, up to date in every particular, heated by a hot water plant, with capacity for en- larging as trade demands. Mr. and Mrs. Stoke, having lived in Great Bend and having been in business for so many years, are well and favorably known and have fine prospects for a lucrative business.

The flowers are large and beau- tifully formed, color is carmine with tints of old rose and deep coral, add to this the silken sheen and you can imagine the effect a few plants will produce. NOTE— We had this Oanna on trial among the Oanadlan experimental stations last summer and this is the oSicial report of their expert: "Quite distinct and one of the most beautiful shades of color I ever saw in Oannas. Of 70 massed in one bed during the past season, this was the most floriferous in the collection, coming into bloom early and con- tinuing until cut down by frost, as many as 13 expanded heads of blooms being counted at one time on a plant, and not a poor one among them, all being of immense size." 50c each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. NEW YORK Has the Orchid type of flower. They have much more substance than the flowers of the other varieties of this class, and will stand the hot sunshine as well as the toughest varieties of cannas. The color is a solid rich scarlet covered with a beautiful glowing sheen. The flowers are large and contrast beautifully with the dark bronze foliage. 50c each; $6.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.

J. Goodwin's, J. F. Huss, grow- er, is to be seen the largest collection of hardy ferns in this country and I ques- tion if it is exceeded in Europe, as Mr. Huss believes he has every variety in ex- istence. More than 300 varieties are growing outdoors, in addition to 100 in- doors. They form a most interesting study, the types of Scolopendrium vul- gare and crispum being possibly the most numerous and variform. Among the ex- otic varieties Gymnogramme chrysophylla superba, with its beautiful, heavily crest- ed fronds, is the choicest of the golden species. Cheiranthus elegans is appro- priately termed the lace fern. PellaBa flexuosa is a pretty Mexican variety, pro- ducing fronds four feet and more in length. It makes a fine plant for hang- ing baskets. Mr. Huss was tenderly pricking off the naites of seedlings at the time of my visit and grew reminiscent, going back to the time when we were delving to- gether in the soil at Hugh Low & Co.'s, of London, when at the same time Fred L. Atkins, of Rutherford, had his first experience with Vanda caerulea and Julius A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, with Pan- danus Veitchii. Mr. Huss is an ardent lover of hardy stock and at the same time a splendid plantsman, and believes there is good money for the person who makes a specialty of hardy ferns, or adds this line to an existing line of hardy plants. The shelves of these houses are filled with more than 400 kinds of hardy herbaceous plants, all labeled, forming a miniature botanical garden, all to be planted outdoors during the month of July. In May the show of the hardy polyahthus alone is worth a visit, the assortment and number being immense. John Coombs says he will recommend the dealer who will supply the true type of Lilium multiflorum to a place in the hall of fame. He does not believe in putting all his eggs into one basket, but says they hatch out the same kind of chicks anyhow. J. Vidbourne & Co. predict a big planting season, judging from orders booked and inquiries received for nurs- ery stock. W. M. ScRANTON, Pa. — W. H. Davis recently took a big sled-load of friends to Elm- hurst for a chicken supper. Painesville, O. — Carl Hagenburger re- cently had his eyebrows and mustache badly singed by the exploding of gas in his furnace.

CACTUS GERANIUMS A very unique and strikingly beautiful distinct type which, originating in England but a few years ago, at once won a place in great popular favor as a pot plant, for the conservatory and window boxes, for which they are unusually pleasing and attractive, on account of their remarkably handsome and thrifty but dwarf growth, small foliage, and marvelous profusion of bloom. The Oactus has by common consent been recognized as a distinctive term applied to certain type of Dahlias, Oinerarias, etc., but none deserve the appellation more so than the Cactus Geranium, with its admirable elegance of form, exquisite, graceful, narrow petals, similar to those of the Cactus Dahlia. We offer a collection of four varieties, and to introduce them Into every collection, we will for a short time send one dozen by mail postpaid for $1 50. PELARGONIUM PELTATO ZONAL Alllanoe, (Lamolue 1906) An exquisitely beautiful novelty of the highest order. A hybrid between an Ivy and a Zonal, and which has retained all the good points of both parents, including the beautiful soft finish of the Ivy and the hardy constitution of the Zonal. It is therefore, not an ordinary variety but an extraordinary variety in all the good points that go to make up an attractive Geranium. Its color is the most exquisite shade of delicate lilac white, upper petals feathered and blotched beautiful bright crimson rose. Flowers semi-double, abundantly produced in fine large trusses on long stems. Habit is excellent, robust, strong, close jointed; for vases or as a pot plant it is unequalled. 25c each; $2.50 per doz.; to introduce we will send postpaid for a short time. IVY-LEAVED GERANIUM Caesar Franok, (jtemoine 1906) This is unquestionably destined to become the most popular Ivy Geranium yet intro- duced; the color in the most magnificent shade of soft crimson, with an exquisite shading of tender rose at the base of the petals. The fiowers are about as double as the Crimson Rambler Rose, which they resemble, only much richer in color and finish, produced on long stems in enormous trusses. Habit, vigorous, quick growing and pleasing with a strong constitution. For baskets and vases it is all that could be desired. Consideiing its general good behavior, being in keeping with its other good points, we are convinced that it is a most desirable sort. 25c each; $2.60 per doz. ; to introduce it everywhere we will send postpaid for a short time.

Wliile there is nothing rushing, still there is enough to keep every one busy and more can not be expected now. Fu- neral work furnishes the main item of business. For that reason the demand for the shorter roses has been the best and they have really sold for higher prices in proportion than the long- stemmed ones. In fact, all kinds of flowers that could be used, in funeral work sold the best and the market quickly cleaned out of that kind of goods. The prices on all grades of flow- ers have held up wonderfully well and it would look as if they would stay up all during Lent. Both roses and carna- tions are in heavier supply, owing to the fliie weather we have been having, but bulbous stock is coming in even larger quantities and there is just about all of this kind of stock that can be sold to advantage. The bright sunshine has been bringing it along pretty fast. Green goods of all kinds are getting scarce. Ferns are especially s(f and it is hard to get enough to take care of the orders. Leucothoe sprays and galax have been selling first-class and boxwood is be- ginning to be a feature in this market. With Easter but a little over four weeks away it is time to look about and see what we are going to have for that day, which is tlie very best in the whole year for the florist. In bulbous flowers this market will be well supplied and the stock will be fine this year. Owing to the earliness of Easter many growers will fail to get their lilies ready in time and there can scarcely be a question that there will be too many of these flowers. If there is not a decided short- age I shall be greatly surprised. So 1 should advise the early placing of or- ders if you want to get anywhere near what you will need. Eoses and carna- tions will be about as usual; that is, they will be scarce. The present beauti- ful weather we are having, if it holds, will work wonders though, and there may be enough of these flowers to enable us to fill all ordfers reasonably well. Various Notes.

They will manufacture all sorts of green- house structural material, but will make a specialty of iron-frame greenhouses, reinforcing for concrete post and board walls, ventilating machinery, iron fittings, etc. Mr. Loeber is on a friendly footing with every greenhouse owner in the territory tributary to the Cincinnati market and is not unknown to the gen- eral trade in the central west, so that the firm sh^ld be in a position to do a good business from the outset.

How many feet of pipe should I use and what size for overhead and under benches, also size of the main? The boiler will be set up at the northwest corner of the north house and on a level with the houses. G. B. Your plant with boiler set as suggest- ed can be heated by steam more easily than in any other way; but with wood for fuel hot water heating would be preferable if the boiler can be located so as to reduce the length of the flow pipes to practically 100 feet, which is about the maximum length for hot water on a gravity system. Whatever the type of the boiler used, it should have capacity to heat 5,500 square feet of radiation. If a horizontal nibular boiler is selected, one rated at sixty h(frse-power will be about right. If you locate the boiler on the surface and at the point men- tioned it will be necessary to use a cir- culating pump for hot water, and a pump to return the water of condensa- tion back to the boiler if steam is used. Each house requires about 1,650 square feet of radiation, which can be supplied by 1,400 lineal feet of 4-inch pipe; 1,650 lineal feet of 3-inch pipe; 2,640 feet of 2-inch pipe or 3,795 feet of 1^4 -inch pipe. If you use steam each house should have two 3-inch flow pipes and eighteen I'/i-inch returns. L. C. C.

Which is the better way to feed a hot water boiler, direct into the boiler or into a return near the boiler? Would it be a good plan to connect the 2-inch feed pipe to a water ttink twenty-one feet above the boiler, the tank six feet high and ten feet ir. diameter? The 4- inch heating pipes are connected by ce- ment joints. What is the proper height to place the tank above the boiler and what size should it be. W. W. T. & S. I doubt if the cement joints of the cast-iron "pipe will bear the pressure from a tank elevated twenty-one feet. If they will, this will greatly increase the efficiency of your system. The feed pipe, connected pyeierably to the main return near the boiler, need be no more than %-inch to care for the expansion of a system of good size. The expan- sion tank should be large enough to hold all the water driven out of the sys- tem by heating it. A 50-gallon tank is sufficient for a boiler suitable for heat- ing two houses 20x100. If wrought- iron pipe with screw joints is used the tank can be elevated fifteen to twenty feet, but with cast-iron pipe and ce- ment joints the tank must usually be kept below ten feet. L. C. C.

The difference between mak- ing the doing of business a part of the fun of life or a part of its irritating care. We believe in pleasant dealing. Write us. ^ HITCHINGS AND CO.

CAif Mil LCO NIPPi Three sections in place. You can see that our separate tie bolts for each section and push nipples make tae set-up an easy and sure proposition. HOW TO SET IT UP. With each boiler we furnish printed instructions which tell you the quickest and easiest way to set the boiler up. The only tools necessary are a monkey wrench and a screw driver — nothing complicated, no need for high priced, skilled labor as any of your handy men can do it.' When your order is received at the factory, a boiler is at once completely set up on the shipping room floor, every part set in place just as it is to be in your cellar. It is then tested to a high water pressure — any hitches in going together, any missing parts are found. Each section is then numbered for its right position. When you get the boiler, everything will be there, every part goes together without the least trouble. The sections are easy to handle and can be taken down narrow stairs or through small doors. You have no ash pits to build of brick; no expensive bricking-in as is the case with so many boilers that at first thought seem cheaper, but when you figure extra cost and bother of setting them, the " Burnham " is by far the cheapest in the end. With the "Burnham," it's simply a case of boiling the base together and placing it where you want the boiler to stand; then drop in the grates and set on back section; put nipples in place, set on another section and draw up tight with each tie bolt, and so on with the numbered sections — and that's all there is to it.
