Newsham, New Orleans, read before the Society of Southern Florists, at the New Orleans convention, February 14 to 16, 1907.1 In presenting a paper on this subject I do so with a full understanding that it must be done in as few words as is pos- sible. With a class of plants so large and varied as the orchid family, compris- ing, as it does, many thousand varieties, some, both beautiful and curious, are not available for florists' use. Many are not available because of their scarcity and high price ; others, from the fact of their shyness to bloom under the treatment the ordinary florist has time and facility to give them; so that at the present time the number of varieties grown for cut flowers is limited to a few that are easily managed and not too expensive to buy in quantity. But I am sure the time will come, and before long, when there will be many more varieties added to the orchid family, or the present list of orchids for florists' use, especially when their requirements become better under- stood by the general run of florists, with- out, necessarily, being expert orchid growers. When we look back over a few years of the cultivation of the rose and carnation, we can count the few men who, then, really made a success of their cultiva- tion, while today they are being grown in every part of the country by the thou- sands, by men who have not spent a life- time in learning how to grow them suc- cessfully. So it will be with the orchid, which is a plant that will stand rougher treatment than either of them without showing the immediate effect of it or ruining the season's crop of flowers, as is often done by a little mismanagement of either the carnation or the rose. At the same time, when once an orchid gets in a bad condition, it is often better to throw it away than try and bring it around again; and this is one reason why so many have failed to make orchid growing pay, one-half of the space being filled with plants which bring no returns, and, in most cases, only make a breeding place for all kinds of insects and fungus diseases to ruin the balance. Of course there may be exceptions, in which a plant may be of some special value, and may pay for time and attention neces- sary to restore it to a healthy condition. A Word to the Beginner. The first question for the beginner to ask is, "What kinds of plants should I start with?" My advice to him is to start with what is generally termed semi- established plants; that'iS, plants which have been recently imported and have already commenced to grow; and get them from a first-class house, that makes a specialty of thte part of the business. By doing so, one not only learns how they are potted, but will also stand the chance of securing special varieties among them, as they are not all collected while in bloom, and many of the finest and most valuable varieties have turned up among imported plants. For this reason, one may often buy old estab- lished plants cheaper than newly im- ported ones; but he may be sure, all the good varieties have been picked out of them. While I have made a list of va- rieties to grow especially for cut flowers, I am sure it will pay anyone who runs a store to grow a nice collection of other varieties as an advertisement, using them when in bloom for the decoration of his I have seen them do well under many conditions. I prefer pots or hanging pans, mostly for their lasting quality, for, although they will grow as well in wooden baskets, there is always the draw- back that they commence to rot and get full of fungus, and it is not an easy matter to take them out, as the roots become grown around them, and to put them in a larger basket without taking the old ones away is sure, sooner or later, to end badly on account of the fungus from the rotten wood. With pots there is not so much danger, as they last much longer and are cheaper. For potting ma- terial peat is good where it can be easily procured; if not, fern roots and live sphagnum moss is all right. The pots ought to be more than half full of broken pots and charcoal and the plants must be firmly potted and staked until they have become established. This is im- portant, for if they are loose and shaky they seldom do well; and, by all means, use as small pots as possible, especially with newly imported plants, or any that have gotten in bad condition at the roots from overwatering or any other cause. Watering. Watering is one of the most important things in orchid culture.

Orchids are grown in many ways; in ordinary pots and pans, baskets made from wood, in earthenware, and the small growing kinds do well on blocks of wood. water at certain seasons is the cause of many failures, especially in winter, dur- ing their resting period. In our climate, where we do not have to fire very hard, little water is necessary; perhaps a little twice a week is suflScient; just enough to keep them from shriveling. I make a rule in the winter, when I have any doubts as to a plant 's wanting water, to pass it by until the next time; and in / ^^..^.t^.w.-.f,^. tix.^..".Ji;n.,,-|j^^-:,.,»A,.^,.J ._i,,..._..l.'>-L^" ^«.-. .. .■...■.y:— 1. .f.i. ..

I have found it a good rule, not only with orchids, but also with the other plants. Of course, weather con- ditions have a great deal to do with the amount of water needed. In the summer- time with outdoor plants and good drain- age tuere is not much fear of overwater- ing, twice a day not being too much for established plants or plants in baskets or blocks. Of course newly potted or im- ported plants would not require it so heavy until they commence to grow freely. Resting;. Resting is also important with many varieties, especially cattleyas, Iselias and dendrobiums, also some varieties of the oncidium. When a plant has about fin- ished its growth is the time to reduce the watering by degrees until you give just enough to keep the bulbs plump. Keep them in that condition until they commence to show flower, when they require a little more water; but never get them soaked or the buds are liable to turn yellow and fall before opening. Especially with a low temperature after flowering they generally commence to grow, and this is a good time to pot them or change them in any way needed. General Management. As we cannot grow any of the cool orchids in the southern climate, we need should be much moister and needs less ventilation. This class, most of them not having bulbs, cannot be allowed to become dry or they will lose their foli- age, except dendrobiums, which may be wintered in the same house as cattleyas, as they require about the same treatment while resting. The American varieties do better out- doors under slat shades from the first part of April until they have completed their growth, when they must be brought under cover, as a wet season would start them into growth again. I have not .given the East Indian varieties a thorough trial outdoors during the sum- mer months; but with most of the vari- eties we can make more growth in one year than they can in the north in two without interfering with their bloom- ing. List of Varieties. Cattleya Trianse, from Colombia, is considered one of the best varieties for florists' use, being one of the easiest to grow, varies in color from pure white to deep rose, and blooms here from No- vember to April and sometimes twice. Cattleya Mendelli, from Colombia, about the same color, somewhat larger, and blooms a little later than C. Tri- anae. Cattleya Mossia?, Venezuela, varies much in size and color, some varieties being almost double the size of others. Store of the Schoen Floral Co., Toledo, O. only to divide them into two houses, one for the East Indian varieties and the other for the American varieties. There need be little difference in the tempera- ture of the two, but the one for the East Indian varieties, such as the cypri- pedium, phalacnopsis and dendrobium, Blooms after C. Mendelli. A good vari ety of C. Mossia) is hard to beat. Cattleya gigas, Colombia, is the larg- est flowering variety, and in its native country is one of the freest bloomers, having as many as seven flowers on a single spike; but under cultivation it is not often seen in this condition. By iffrowing it in pans or baskets hung r 'Close to the glass and given a little more heat, it will bloom quite freely during July and August. Cattleya labiata, Brazil, is the best for autumn flowers and an easy one to manage; while not so fine a variety as some, it comes in when flowers are scarce, and should be grown on that ac- count. Cattleya Percivaliana is considered a small variety of C. Mossise, with a shade darker Up, and is' the latest of the large- flowering cattleyas to bloom. Cattleya Skinneri, Central America, is the best of the smaller flowering cat- tleyas; blooms in the spring, is of a deep rose color, and bears as many as eighteen flowers on a spike. Lselia purpurata, Brazil, is a fine va- riety, blooming in the summer months, but is becoming scarce. Lselia anceps, Mexico, and its many varieties, is easy to grow; blooms in the fall with long spikes, which makes it always useful in any kind of work or decorations; in color from pure white to deep rose. Phaleenopsis amabilis, Philippine is- lands, is one of the finest orchids to grow in this section, bearing large spikes of almost pure white flowers in the spring months, when they are always in demand. It is considered rather hard to manage, and, as it comes from a hot climate, is grown too close and confined in the attempt to keep up the tempera- ture, especially in the winter time, where much fire heat is required. But here we have plants which only receive fire heat a few times during the winter, the tem- perature often going below 45 degrees, and still these plants do not seem to suffer in the least. They are grown in an open house all the time, where every- * thing is left open night and day, ex- cept when there is fear of a frost; and they have been grown that way for years. Phalaenopsis Schilleriana, from the same country as the last, is a stronger grower, bearing a spike with as high as 100 flowers at one time; color, from pale to dark pink. Vanda cserulea, northern India, is one of the few blue orchids, varying from light to dark blue. It is always salable. Dendrobium nobile, India, is one of the oldest varieties, easy to grow and flower. Dendrobium Wardianum, Burmah, is also an old favorite. Dendrobium Phalsenopsis, New Guin- ea, is one of the best for cut flowers, giving spikes sometimes two feet long, with from twenty to twenty-four flowers of various shades of pink, and lasts a long time in bloom. Dendrobium formosum, Burmah, is a good one to grow, bearing white flow- ers which are much used for bridal bou- quets. Odontoglossum citrosmum, Mexico, is about the only one of this class we can manage here; should be given the same treatment as Lselia anceps, and gives long spikes of light pink flowers. Oncidium crispum, O. spendidium and O. varicosum are three good varieties to grow, bearing long spikes of yellow or spotted flowers which are fine in deco- rations. There are, of course, many others which may be grown, but I think this list will give as good results as a larger one. i .r,.-.':«iLy^^^^-,_ ,,.^.......^..u:i,..:M'.. — -.. ■■> T'!"lWl;'i^UWf!i't''W '^W^nTp* ./rTvji J " :,-.ifttT^„«^_i'.nnB'.i^7Mrw»if#», ,^Tt:,^^j ■ ■ ■ "^T^ -. ^ Mabch 7, 1907.

If you are propagating petunias from cuttings be careful not to leave them in the sand too long or until they become hard. Place in 2Vi-inch pots in light, rather sandy compost and give them a .light bench. In the case of seedlings, a portion may be put in pots for special orders, but they do equally as well in tints and grow like weeds when trans- planted from them. It saves a great amount of labor and watering to use the flats. They may also be pricked out in frames with a gentle bottom heat after the middle of April. Many other plants may be treated in the same way, in- cluding asters, stocks, verbenas. Phlox Drummondi, salvias and many others. The flats have the advantage of being more readily handled, more especially if plants are needed for store trade. Cannas. While there is still good time in which to start the roots of cannas, if you want good, stocky stuff they can be taken from under the benches, or wherever they have been stored, and brought into heat. Some growers lay the whole clumps on the benches and divide them after they start to grow. A much better plan is to divide them, leaving one sound eye and a few roots for each plant. These can be potted at once into 4-inch pots and if treated carefully only a small proportion will fail to start. They must be kept somewhat on the dry side at the start or many will rot. A better plan is to lay the individual pieces on a bench, closely together, where there is some bottom heat and where a top heat of 60 degrees at night is main- tained. Cover the bench with moss and scatter a little leaf-mold or moss over the roots. Keep them syringed twice a day, but do not soak them with the hose. In about three weeks growth and roots will be startiag freely and they can be potted up. Treated in this way excel- lent stock can be had with less trouble and expense than by any other method we have tried. Giladium Esculentum. Roots of that popular subtropical plant, Caladium esculentum, can be started any time during the month of March. The largest roots are not the most desirable. A brisk, moist heat is needed to make them break well. Set them on a bench in the same way as cannas, but if possible give them more bottom heat. Pack closely between the roots with moss, leaf-mold or sand. They will be ready for potting in about half the time cannas are if kept rather more moist at the root. If space on benches is valuable, you can delay starting them until after Easter this year and still get first-class plants. Genistas. Plants of genista intended for Easter which have been kept well clipped and bushy should show color by the middle of the month, in which case they will be along in good season. While these plants are quite attractive and sell well, they do not keep so well in the dwelling house as azaleas and some other plants. They should never be grown warm, for if forced the flowers will simply not keep at all. If a supply of cuttings has not been put in of these, a batch should now be placed in the sand. Do not place them in a warm house. A bench which suits carnation cuttings will root them well. If potted and grown along they will make nice 4-inch plants for next fall. Genistas need frequent pinching to keep them bushy. In the case of larger plants the simplest method is to clip them with a pair of shears several times during the summer months. Do not at- tempt to plant them outdoors in sum- mer. They are hard things to lift and will lose about all their foliage, even if carefully treated. Azaleas. If the buds of azaleas are beginning to show color now they will come along in time for Easter in a cool house. Later plants should be kept in a warm, moist house and freely syringed until they show color, after which they are to be kept dry overhead and rather cooler. If you have any plants unsold from the earlier batches, pick off the seeds and give them a warm house to make some growth in. They can be planted outdoors in a sunny spot, where you can reach them with the hose, and they will make fine stock for potting up in the fall. V Ferns.

The Weekly Florists' Review. U6S call is only for a few sorts. Of these Adiantum cuneatum holds first place and is indispensable where bouquet or fu- neral work is made. If it is possible that some of your ferns have not been overhauled for a long time, before the spring rush starts in is a good time in which to pot them. If large, chop the clumps through with a sharp spade. Dis- etitangle the roots and repot in sizes sufficient to allow an inch of compost around the clump. In the case of plants in small pots, all they will need is to have the crocks removed from the roots and any loose soil shaken out before being repotted. A suitable soil for ferns consists of equal portions of leaf -mold and loam, with sand added. For vigorous growing sorts more loam and less of the leaf com- post can be used. Do not use s£ny ani- mal manure or chemical fertilizer of any sort. Plants, however, with the pots well filled with roots enjoy an occasional watering with liquid manure. Ferns of all sorts need a shady house and a moist atmosphere. In summer they grow splendidly in coldframes under sashes shaded with kerosene and white lead. Snails are sometimes troublesome among adiantums. A dusting of air-slaked lime on the bench will clear out most of them. A little should also be dusted among the crowns. If the pots can be moved from the bench and boiling water poured over it many will be killed. A few desirable ferns to grow in ad- dition to Adiantum cuneatum are A. gra- cillimum, A. Charlottse, Pteris cretica Majdi, Pteris serrulata cristata, Cyrto- mium faleatum, Cibotium Schiedei, the finest tree fern for house culture; Pteris adiantoides, Pteris "Wimsetti, Aspidium tsussimense, Davallia stricta and the various nephrolepis, such as Bostonien- sis, Whitmani, Scottii and Elegantissima. Care of Seedlings. Many of the earUer sown batches of annuals will now be ready to pinch off. This work should not be delayed a day longer than absolutely necessary. We are mostly prone to sow our seeds too thickly and a few days' crowding will ruin many of the little seedlings. Shade with cheese-cloth or newspapers for a few days after the pricking off. Do not overwater them and, on the other hand, be careful they are not allowed to get dusty dry. Use a watering pot in lieu of a hose for watering purposes. Keep all flats of seedlings which are not pricked out well up to the light to keep them stocky. Brief Reminders* Buds of Easter lilies -should now be starting to droop. Those which still point upwards need a little hurrying. Now is the time to get in the extra forc- ing needed, not the week before Easter. Sow seeds of Canterbury bells, wall- flowers, Campanula persicifolia and C. pyramidalis, and any of the perennial delphiniums if you want strong plants by fall. Marguerites should not be subjected to any forcing. The flowers of these re- main fresh on the plant a long time if they are not allowed to become dry. Flowers should now be opening. If you see color in the buds of Bam- bler roses by March 15 you should have them in season for Easter. Charles Knopf. Elkhart, Ind. — The greenhouses of Mrs. E. M. Bullock were entirely de- stroyed by fire at 5 a. m. February 28. THE GLASS MARKET. The jobbers of greenhouse sizes of window glass who are advertising in the Review find the demand considerably ahead of last year. Ever since the be- ginning of the season the number of in- quiries has been greater than usual. There are not so many large orders be- ing placed, but a much greater number of smaller orders. All through the coun- try growers are adding one or two houses. The price of glass has been stiffening steadily since the strength of the de- mand became apparent. The window glass industry seems in a strong position this spring and manufacturers are re- luctant to cut greenhouse sizes. It ap- pears certain that when the end of the season's fire comes, in June, there will be no great stock of greenhouse sizes on hand to meet the demand, which will continue steady, probably clear through September. The result will be that prices during the summer are likely to see a still further advance. CHARLES KNOPF. Charles Knopf, of Richmond, Ind., has loved flowers ever since he was old enough to admire their beauty, and was always near them whenever he had the opportunity. He flrst started in the florists' work in Richmond about fifteen years ago, at the Cascade Greenhouses, and from therjB he went to the E. G. Hill place. It' was here that he acquired a general knowledge of the business and the raising of new carnations. He re- mained there about two and one-half years, and then went back to the Cas- cade Greenhouses. While there he dis- covered the value in the carnation Dor- othy, but it was not a seedling of his own raising. Shortly after being at this place the second time he saw a good op- portunity to establish a wholesale busi- nes at the E. T. Grave place in Rich- mond, which at that time was only two small houses, more for the pleasure of Mrs. Grave than for profit. Mr. Knopf went to work for Mrs. Grave as grower and manager. He then bought the va- riety Dorothy, in a short time proved its worth and worked up* stock and in- troduced it to the trade. It proved to be a valuable variety for the trade, as it is still quite extensively grown in cer- tain localities. He remained with this firm five years and then established the firm of the B. K. & B. Floral Co., of which he is manager. Mr. Knopf has raised many seedlings and has a number now on the place. Sarah A. Hill, white, is his best sort and shortly to be introduced to the trade. It is named for the sister of E. G. Hill, who is associated with the Hill company, and who is a^ well informed in trade matters as any other member of the firm. She has charge of the office work, and is usu- ally the first to greet the visitor. If the carnation achieves a place as high in the estimation of the craft as has the lady whose name it bears, Mr. Knopf can ask nothing more. HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION. The bureau of publicity of the Mann- heim exposition of 1907 sends out the following: A great horticultural exposition, in combination with an international expo- sition of art, will be opened May 1 at Mannheim, on the Rhine, Germany. It may be of greatest interest that a num- ber of most exquisite artists participate in this arrangement by creating special gardens, each one promising to be re- markable because of its originality.

Inter- national are the exhibits of orchids, cacti, modern horticulture and the exhib- its of fruits and greens. England, Prance and even the primitive forests of South America will contribute to the ex- hibits of orchids. Besides cultivated plants from England and France there will be exhibited, as curiosities, the strange forms of wild orchids, gathered with difficulty in Mexico, l^r^ail and on the banks of the Orinoco river. The cactus exhibit will contain a great number of interesting and peculiar plants, representing a rich collection from all tropical countries. There will be, for instance, gigantic cacti from Mexico and South America. The exhibition of horticultural novel- ties, by cultivators from Germany and foreign countries, surely will be of great- est attraction. The progress of Ameri- can horticulture in fruits and plants, as well as in greens, will be shown here. Eight special exhibits will give oppor- tunity to all countries of the world to show by their products their degrees of advancement in fruit cultivation. Amer- ica, a country which sends every year many thousands of quintals of fruit to Germany, will take justifiable interest in exhibiting its products at Mannheim and in demonstrating the different methods of preparing them for a long voyage. People will be interested in the differ- ent methods of preserving fruits and greens and the various forms of cool- ing apparatus. CARNATION NOTES —VEST. Shif ting Young Stock. If you propagated a lot of carnation cuttings early and have had them potted six weeks or so you will have to give them a shift within the next few weeks. The first two weeks in March is the best time for this, as a rule, because it gives the plants plenty of time to become re- established and to make a good growth before time for planting out. Don't think that because the young plants may look young and tender and not excessively pot-bound that they will stand all right in the small pots. Young carnation plants want to be kept con- tinually on the move. By that I do not mean that they should be induced to make a large, rank growth, but it should be slow and steady' and should not be checked by being pot-bound, which means not only starved, but later on it means frequent drying out at the roots during warm spring days. The latter is as in- jurious as the first named, if not worse. We like to plant from pots and prefer shifting the young plants from 2-inch into 3-inch pots and planting from these into the field. There are several reasons for this. When planting from pots you have a good ball of earth and you have every root that belongs to the plant in- tact. Taking the plant from the green- house out into the open field, subjecting it to the strong sunshine and the drying spring winds, is trying enough for the young plants, without having many of the roots torn or cut and, in many cases, most of the soil shaken from them. If there is no rainfall for a few days the suffering is not so intense when a good ball of earth is kept intact, nor will it begin so early as it will when the soil- is shaken from the roots. You will find, too, that this ball of earth will hold to- gether in the fall when you dig the plants for housing and it is a great help at that time. I have also found that the roots on such plants will be more bunchy and you can get more of them with the plants, when digging them. Another way, which is practiced by many large growers and which is a modi- fication of the above, is to pot the cut- tings into 2-inch pots and about this time plant them in three inches of soil on the bench, setting about three inches apart each way. This method will produce fine, strong ^oung plants and the 3-inch pots are dispensed with. The ball from the 2-inch pot will hold together when taken up- to be planted in the field, but, of course, many roots are broken and the transfer is accompanied with more suffering than when planting is done from pots. The growth is more apt to be rank and soft under this method, too, which is not desirable. There will not be so much drying of the soil as in the pots, which is a good feature and insures a steady growth. Either of these meth- ods is commendable, though we prefer the pot method. We do not approve of planting the rooted cuttings right on the bench. The roots run out too long and are mangled too much when taking up the plants. Cuttings taken from the sand after this date can be potted right into 2%.- inch pots and left in those pots until time for planting out. When these are set on a bench near the ventilators, or where! a draught will strike them, the pots should be plunged abafGlNiialf-way in sand. This will retard drying out and will be a great help next month. Keep the young plants sprayed with the tobacco extracts, to prevent aphis or thrips from getting a foothold on them, the same as you do the blooming plants. Dusting them with tobacco dust will be found a great help, too, though we pre- fer the spraying as being more effective and cleaner. Syringe them hard, at least once each week, to keep off red spider and to keep off rust, dust them with air-slaked lime. Be sure they have an abundance of sunlight and ventilation to promote sturdiness. A. F. J. Baur. SOIL FOR CARNATIONS. I shall grow carnations in benches next year for the first time, having grown them under glass, but in the ground. I want to get the right kind of soil, but I cannot get rotted sod or cow manure here. I can get a rich, black, sandy loam, almost silt. What shall I put with that? Leaf -mold is obtainable. A. L.H. There is no use describing what we consider the ideal carnation soil in this locality, since you say you cannot secure the two principal parts that we use. Rotted sod and cow manure will, without any doubt, make the best soil for carna- tions; but we have known fine carnations to be grown where one pr both of these were lacking. Carnations do not like a rough soil like roses do, but, rather, a porous, well-pulverized soil bordering on a sandy loam, though not too light. When cow manure is added in liberal quantities to enrich it, you have a first- class soil. In your case with such a light soil as you have, if your soil is rich, you will likely get a heavy, rank growth and, unless you can make it heavier with clay or cow manure, you will not get the qual- MLl^"^ l^wr p» y^^^^P • 1 > >.'':>^ 1 fi 1 Pink Seedling Lawson z Enchantress.

If your carnations in the natural ground gave fairly good results, then I would use the same soil on the benches. If you use stable manure rake out as much of the straw as you can. Sheep manure would be better ; use a big wheel- barrowful of sheep manure to a yard of soil. Turn this over several times, a cou- ple of weeks apart, so it will be well mixed. After filling in the bencnes, rake in a liberal supply of bone meal, before setting in your plants. After that de- pend on sheep manure for mulching and bone meal and wood ashes to stiffen the stems and heighten the quality of the blooms. You must watch your plants and give them what they seem to need from time to time. One cannot give ex- plicit directions without knowing more about local conditions, etc., than I do about yours. A.

Herr, Sec'y. DELPHINIUMS. The larkspurs are useful annual and perennial plants. The boldness of the plant and the beauty of the flowers will always attract attention. They are ef- fective when planted in beds or. massed in front of shrubs. In color the flowers range from palest to deepest blue, and include pink, red and white, but rarely yellow. The culture of larkspur is simple, ob- serves the National Council of Horticul- ture. They will thrive in almost any good garden soil and in almost any sit- uation. The perennial kinds should be propagated from seed sown early in the fall. In the spring young seedlings, which have been kept during the win- ter in a coldframe in 2-inch or 3-inch pots, should be available and should be set out two or three feet apart in rich, sandy loam, in a sunny exposure. Peren- nial larkspurs may also be propagated by taking up an old plant and dividing its roots. In fact, a bed will remain in con- dition longer if the plants are dug up and replanted every three or four years. The roots or young seedlings may be ob- Carnation House of John R. Hellenthal, Columbus, Ohio. tained from most wholesale dealers in hardy plants. Grandiflorum, hybridum, and f ormosum are the best varieties. Seed of the annual varieties may be sown in beds or borders in spring or fall, preferably the latter, so germination may take place in early spring. As the seed- lings grow they should stand twelve to eighteen inches apart. Seed sown in April will give good results. When the plants are established they should be transplanted to light, rich soil, where they will grow rapidly. The so-called an- nuals are really hardy biennials, but be- cause they bloom the first season they are treated as annuals. Two successive flower crops may be had the same season from the same plants if the faded flower stems of the first crop are removed. Among the better varieties are Ajacis, which grows from fifteen to eighteen inches high, and has graceful spreading branches, and grandiflorum. THE ILLINOIS APPROPRIATION. An amendment to the bill providing the annual appropriations for the Uni- versity of Illinois has been introduced at Springfield by C. J. Lindley and is now in the hands of the sub-committee on university, of the house appropria- tions committee, of which Frank J. Heinl, of Jacksonville, is chairman. These gentlemen are looking after the florists' interests, but when the amend- ment is reported out with the bill men- tioned, it must have as broad support as the trade can get for it. The follow- ing is the text of the amendment: That It shall be the duty of the Agricultural Experiment Station to discorer and demonstrate the best methods of producing plants, cut flow- ers and vegetables under glass, and the most effective remedies for disease and Insect enemies of the same, to Investigate and demonstrate the best varieties and methods of producing orna- mental trees, shrubs and plants suitable for pub- lic and private grounds In the various soils and climatic conditions of the state, and to dissemi- nate information concerning the same; and that, to carry out the provisions of this section, there be, and hereby Is. appropriated the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) for the year 1907 and five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for the year 1908; provided, that the work under- taken and outlined in this section shall be car- ried out In lines to be agreed upon by the direc- tor of the Agricultural Experiment Station and an advisory committee of five, to be appointed by the Illinois State Florists' Association. This asking is supported by the Illi- nois State Florists' Association, Chicago Florists' Club, Horticultural Society of Chicago and all the leading growers of greenhouse products. Each florist should see personally or write his representative at Springfield to support the appropria- tion asked for. USING HAND PUMP. Can water be forced with a hand pump a distance of 350 feet, which includes an elevation of seventy-five feet above the water in the well ? J. K. H. Your question is not quite clear, but if the well is not over thirty feet deep the ^vater can be raised by suction to that height and then forced any distance into the tank. If the well is over thirty feet deep it will be necessary to place the working cylinder of the pump within thirty feet of the water-level in order to make it work. Water can be taken from a well 300 or 400 feet deep, but the Avorking cylinder is usually placed well down, even below the water-level, so that there can never be more than thirty feet suction. Above the working cylinder it is simply a matter of lifting a column of water to the height desired, which simply requires power. While the work in question can be done by hand power, it will be hard, and an engine or wind- mill should be carefully considered if there is much pumping to be done. L. C. C. Bloomsville, O. — W. S.

VEILAND & OLINGER PLANT. The establishment of Weiland & Oliu- ger, at New Castle, Ind., consists of six- teen houses. Ten of them are devoted to tea roses, three to American Beauty and three to carnations. The accompanying illustrations are from photographs made November 20. Enchantress is shown in one of the interior views, Beauty in the other. Peter Weiland gives his personal attention to the Beauties and had a fine crop on for Christmas. He is one of a well-known family of florists, being a son of M. Weiland, of Evanston, III., a nephew of Peter Keinberg and related to the Wietor brothers, Adam Zender, John Muno and others in the trade. Mr. Olin- ger is his partner 's brother-in-law. They have, in addition to the range of glass, a big field of peonies of the best varie- ties, planted for cut flowers. Last season the weather was so unfavorable just at the blooming period that it ruined most of the crop, but the field has now been planted long enough for the stock to be well established and better luck is hoped for this year. GREENFLY AND RED SPIDER. As spring advances we may look for a rapid increase of greenfly and red spi- der and special efforts should be made to exterminate them before they become too numerous. It is almost impossible to fumigate with tobacco as frequently as is neces- sary to keep greenfly in check, without at the same time causing injury to the flower and foliage to some extent. The petals of the pink varieties are so easily bleached that heavy fumigation frequently makes them unsalable and, although the injury to the foliage is not so apparent, it is there nevertheless, and a careful microscopic examination will show the injury done. This method of keeping greenfly in subjection is yet the most commonly used but it is far from being perfect; nor have we as yet found a substitute that can be used with the same freedom and safety. That cyanide of potassium is more ef- fective and less injurious to bloom and foliage there is no doubt, but many growers show a decided inclination to avoid the attending dangers consequent on the use of this deadly gas. Where plenty of tobacco stems can be had it is a very safe and effective way to keep these under the benches, on the pipes or, in fact, anywhere in the house where they will be out of the way and cause no untidiness. By renewing these peri- odically greenfly can make no headway and there is not the least danger to even the most delicate leaved plants, such as ferns, spiraeas or cinerarias. If spider is present in the house keep the syringe going on every favorable oc- casion and, particularly, keep an eye on the young plants, as this is oro of the most insidious and injurious pests they have to contend with in their present stage. 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, continued from the Issue of February 28.] Plantins. The operation of planting is simple, but must be well done. Insert the plant well beneath the surface of the soil and press it down firmly with both hands. The soil around the plant must then be firmed, leaving a cup-like depression at the base. Eoses naturally love a firm footing, but where the soil is of a heavy, clay texture, less firming is necessary than where it is of a loose, sandy nature. In the latter case you can hardly make the soil too firm, so you must let the nature of the soil guide your judgment in the matter. Be careful in all this firming process not to mash the ball of the young plant. I have found no imple- ment so handy for this "purpose as a pint beer bottle filled with sand and corked. Like a certain brand of soap, this "just fits the hand," and beats the bare fist or a brick all hollow. Where three men work together, one inserting the plants and the other two using the bottles, a great many can be speedily planted. Watering at Plantiiig. ■ After planting a few rows fill the de-' pressions full of water, so that the bench will be thoroughly saturated to the bot- tom, and spray the plants. By delaying this waterm^, until a whole bench is planted you m^y find a great many of the plants have evaporated their mois- ture and lost the tips of their young shoots. Every bright day the plants will require copious doses of water, in the depressions only, and also a good syring- ing. Do this in the morning and repeat the syringing after dinner all during the hot summer months. The walks and un- derneath the benches should also be well - wet down a few times each day to neu- tralize, as far as possible, the enervating effects of the summer heat. There is a wide margin between the terms, too wet and too dry, but this cannot be measured out in talk, and each grower must study this out for himself. It is difficult to give too much water ' during the summer months, if the roseS are in a good growing condition and the drainage has been properly provided for. It is also well to remember that a rose plant during summer will quickly go tO' pieces if kept too dry, and is much harder to restore than one that has been kept a little too wet. The grass and weeds will quickly spring into being, but there need be na haste to remove them. For the first three weeks they serve two important purposes, which more than compensate for the little nourishment they take from the soil. First, they take up any surplus moisture the bench may receive, thus keeping the soil sweet, and second, they act as a shield against the sun's rays,, keeping the soil cool and giving the young plants a good chance to start into active growth. After this they must be religiously kept down. Supporting. Staking and tying up are next in or- der. The sooner tea roses are tied up,, the better and stronger will the breaks be. Beauties, on the other hand, ought to be left to wander at their own sweet will until the breaks have started fronk the bottom. It seems the gentle over- hang is just enough to induce the eyes at the base to start into active growth. Use wire stakes three and one-half to four feet long for tea roses and six feet long for Beauties, and tie each stake t» an overhead wire running the whole length of the bed, over each row of plants. Keep the plants always neatly •- ;.''.V\'".i..l 1 Establiihment of Weiland & Ollnger, New Gistle, Ind, ilMVi.*^' >.^- iri^. .'T.fT'AffjK-A if^d'fi- •**'' ^--*-- -* ^*>«^-J»fe'.. ■*- -^'■"^-"ira>'^>riilAitiiJ ■! v^^'Tfli; ^^xy^'':'ri'i:^Ti\-i',"s-'?f?j^,'-r •■fi-rr -.7 f^-.f* .,,•,..-,,.- '■■-..-«t- March 7, 1907.

Remember that the air must circulate freely through, as well as around, the plants. In about six weeks from planting each young plant should have filled the cup around its base with roots, and the whole bed can -then be leveled off and firmed evenly all over. A dusting of air-slaked lime may then be applied and the sur- face loosened up with a hand cultivator. Repeat this cultivation every week if uecessary until the roots reach the sur- face, when all cultivation must cease. The firming of the soil is necessary to produce fine, large foliage, the proper accompaniment to a first-class bloom. The Trying Months. The months of July and August are very trying ones on the young plants. Then we have almost daily many hard thunder showers which, followed by the bright sun, produce a warm, moist at- mosphere, causing a soft, rank growth, which is liable to breed trouble later. I would recommend a light mulch of any old, wornout manure at this time by way of protection against the sun's rays and after each shower syringe the plants and wet down the walks. This mulch will preclude the necessity of cultivating the benches so often. Renew it when it gets worn out. During the summer months top and side ventilators and all doors should be wide open day and night, except during heavy rain storms, when they should l^ closed just enough to turn the rain. About October 1 in this latitude is soon enough to close the side ventilators at night, but the ones at the ridge should always be more or less open, according to the state of the weather. Particular care should also be taken with the watering. The plants will need less water, and should only be syringed in the morning, so that the foliage will be thoroughly dry before night. October is generally very fickle and is liable to usher in a few very cool nights without much warning, which, unless your heating apparatus is ready for action, will either check the growth of the plants or start a healthy dose of mildew. A check in the growth at this time is a serious matter and something that is to be avoided at all risks. The transition from summer to winter conditions should come gradually and every effort be made to keep the plants healthy and growing. "When the thermometer outdoors falls below 60 degrees at night, a little fire heat is beneficial. Start your fires and open the ventilators a few inches. This insures a good circulation of air, and tends to give the roses that strong, leathery foliage so much desired. In- deed, there are few nights when it is needful to have the ventilators tightly closed, and make it a rule never to have them closed at night unless you are fir- ing. The fuel is not wasted, even if you have to open the ventilators to keep the temperature down. Temperature. The best night temperature for tea roses of the Bride and Bridesmaid class is 56 degrees, but, unfortunately, we don't often get it cool enough to reach that mark. Kaiserin and Perle like it a little warmer, and 60 degrees at night suits them well. The Kaiserin is a fine rose for the south, and is just as free during the shorter winter months as The Bride, and in the fall and late spring is far superior to that popular variety. Beauties require a night temperature of 60 degrees and Meteor requires 68 to 70 degrees. Since the advent of Rich- mond the Meteor has been relegated to the background, but, nevertheless, it is a fine rose for the south. The day temperature on dull days should run 2 degrees to 5 degrees higher than the night temperature and on bright days the thermometer may go 10 degrees to 20 degrees higher and even more, but with plenty of ventilation on the houses. The whole subject of ventilating is a particular science in itself. Outdoor con- ditions must be closely observed and as the temperature begins to rise you must raise the ventilators a little at a time and keep them going up with the mer- cury. As the temperature begins to fall, so must the ventilators gradually come down. The man who can do this thor- oughly under all conditions has mastered one of the most important factors in rose growing. Syringing. Other important points are the water- ing and syringing, two entirely distinct operations. Every morning the beds ought to be closely examined and any dry spots watered before they get a general watering. Conditions are re- versed from summer and the beds are easily overwatered. Light, sandy soils will use quite a lot of water, while heavy clay soils are long in drying out and consequently will use less water. Care and judgment must be observed. Every bright day the plants must be syringed; otherwise red spiders will get in their fine work. A fine spray of water must be so directed as to hit the under side of the foliage, where the spiders congregate. These little pests are faith- ful to their destiny, "be ye fruitful and t. multiply," and their instinct leads them to seek the under side of the foliage as the safest spot. To syringe properly, the lower half of the nozzle should be closed with the forefinger, which gives the stream of water a natural upward direction and makes it easier to reach the under side of the leaves. I again emphasize the necessity of this operation as early as possible in the morning, so that the foliage may be dry before sundown. If the foliage is not thoroughly dry by night it will soon de- « i u ■• j •> , It. ■■A i House of Enchantress at Weiland & Olinger's, New Castle, Ind. ^■ifiifc'tlMi-""**^"^**^-^'^-'' '-■•^'^-■^'"'- " ■ ■■Vi'^WrttAnirtrt ^ Ji:iUi.^'...

It sometimes happens that immedi- ately after syringing the weather be- comes cloudy, in which case I would ad- vise putting a little artificial heat in the houses and opening the ventilators a little wider. You will find the red spider most trou- blesome on Beauties and roses with hybrid blood in them. Possibly the heavier foliage of these varieties offers a better protection from the force of wa- ter. Some growers, in regions where syringing is often impossible for days at a time, use a weak solution of Paris green to keep the spider in check; but I have had little experience with it, so am not competent to advise. Where there is plenty of force of water and enough bright days to allow of syringing twice or three times a week, there will be little trouble with the pest.

SEEN IN NEBRASKA. The accompanying illustration, repro- duced from a photograph made at the home of J. F. Eosenfield, at West Point, Neb., is interesting for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it controverts the general eastern idea of conditions in Nebraska. Those who. think of the state as regards horticul- ture, usually apply to it only the terms properly pertaining to the western and the northwestern counties, where the ele- vation is as much as 5,000 feet above the sea, where the land is principally sand hills, which give way to the buttes and bad lands of the extreme western part, and where the wind is never weary. West Point, the home of J. F. Eosen- field, is in Cuming county, in the eastern section of the state. This is a section THE EXPERIMENT STATION. [A paper by Professor A. C. Beal, of the Uni- versity of Illinois, read before the Illinois State Florists' Association, at the annual convention, ut Bloomlngtou, February 19, 1907.] President Eudd, in his address to the S. A. F. in 1899, said: "We are not as a class receiving from the experiment stations — institutions established and con- ducted with public funds and for the public good — the benefits to which we are entitled. For this state of affairs no one is to blame but ourselves. We have neglected to make our wants known in an intelligent manner, and have not ac- cepted gracefully what little work has been done in our behalf. * ' President Kasting, last year at Day- ton, called attention to the work of the experiment stations and advanced the opinion that florists should use their best endeavors to see that the stations are pro- vided with suflScient funds for carrying on their work. Since there has been a movement in Illinois during the last two years look- ing toward closer relations between the florists and the State Experiment Sta- tion, I thought it might be well at this Hedge of Viburnum at J.

The work of the experiment stations is thus outlined in the Hatch act, which provided an appropriation of $15,000 an- nually for establishing and maintaining a station in each state : "It shall be the object and duty of said experiment sta- tions to conduct original researches or verify experiments on the physiology of plants and animals, the diseases to which they are severally subject, with the remedies for the same ; the chemical com- position of useful plants at their differ- ent stages of growth; the comparative advantages of rotative cropping as pur- sued under varying series of crops; the capacity of new plants or trees for ac- climation; the analysis of soils and water; the chemical composition of ma- nures, natural and artificial, with experi- ments designed to test their comparative effects on crops of different kinds; the adaptation and value of grasses and for- age plants; the composition and digesti- bility of the different kinds of food for domestic animals; the scientific and eco- nomic questions involved in the produc- tion of butter and cheese ; and such other researches or experiments bearing direct- ly on the agricultural industry of the United States as may in each case be deemed advisable, having due regard to the varying conditions and needs of the respective states and territories." According to the last available report, there are sixty experiment stations in the United States, of which fifty-three re- ceive support from the federal govern- ment. Although there are 710 persons engaged in the work of these stations, floriculture is not recognized, and but one person, George Coote, in the Oregon Experiment Station, is specifically charged with experimental work along this line. During the twenty years that the United States experiment stations have been established in the various states, there have been issued not less than 5,000 bulletins, of which sixty are on floriculture and allied greenhouse sub- jects. Of these, eight were on outdoor flowers, five on florists' flowers, twenty- four on vegetables under glass, five on diseases and seven on insects affecting greenhouse plants, three on greenhouse management, two on construction, three on electro-horticulture and one on forcing fruit. Of the sixty bulletins issued one was from Illinois, the leading state in floriculture. A Broad Field. One of the reasons why more work has not been done for the benefit of the florist is that in many of the stations one man stands for the whole subject of horticulture, and not only would this seem a broad enough field for any man to cover, but, in addition, the position is often linked with either botany, for- (!stry, entomology or agriculture. If horticulture includes orchids, onions, oranges, apples, bananas, greenhouses, canning factories, cold storage, cover crops, spraying, plant breeding, white fly and landscape gardening, can one man do justice to them all? In the beginning of this station work, the farmers themselves were indifferent and often prejudiced against it, so that the work had to be made intensely prac- tical, and therefore it was confined to the food products. The result has been that the orchard products were empha- sized and the training of the students in the colleges with which these stations were connected was principally along this line. Since the horticulturists have been trained in pomology and their inclinations were in this direction, and, recognizing that no man can obtain recognition in the V ?j».'.xiitj A 1tint\j.^^ktii -illii. a::..^A • 'ill iitiiitKw itafcfitifur'fctifiTitlnili'nii ir*- iirfiiriiVi 'HHW.WW^fr wjr'Sfnr^''!r^r^^Zr^' f^ •■ "'i «•'«» •^r^-'iw^-;--'»y-',-w'y^ * •:■!'■ ■•:■' ■ , ■■ % March 7, 1907.

Illinois has taken the lead in recogniz- ing the need of specialization in horti- culture. In the university one man is charged with the development of the work along each of the following lines: Pomology, vegetable gardening, landscape gardening and floriculture. This institu- tion is therefore better able to carry on investigations in horticulture. Stations Poorly Equipped. The chief reason why more work is not done for the florists is that stations have not been properly equipped for car- rying on work in floriculture. The Hatch act assumed that the states would pro- vide suitable buildings for the station work. Many states were slow to do this. Illinois did not support its station until 1901. At the present time the station re- ceives from the state $95,000 annually, divided as follows: Animal husbandry, $25,000; soil investigations, $25,000; com investigations, $15,000; dairy inves- tigations, $15,000; orchard investiga- tions, $15,000. In addition to the above, the college receives $50,000 annually for equipment. During the last two years the follow- ing problems have come to us for solu- tion: A prominent grower of cucum- bers under glass appealed to the station for aid to solve a trouble which was destroying his plants and threatening to wipe out a special trade which he had developed in cities all over the north- west. In response to repeated appeals, I was directed to visit him and investigate. I found his plants dying from a bac- terial trouble, the organism multiplying in such numbers in the water channels of the stem as to cut off the water supply. so that the plants wilted and died. Hav- ing determined the cause of the trouble, we were unable to go further and assist him in what he, above all else, wanted to know — that is, how to get rid of the trouble. We should have been in posi- tion to have planned and carried out some experiments in those infected houses. I tried to reserve one of our own small houses for some work on this trouble, but had to yield it to a gradu- ate student for a piece of work for a thesis. The houses we have were built for instructional purposes. We must have separate equipment, especially designed for experimental work. Last fall some infected leaves of a chrysanthemum were received. After a careful examination no disease was found. Whether we failed to get the fruiting stages of the fungus in the leaves sent, or that the trouble was physi- ological, due to something out of bal- ance in the growing plant, or that it was caused from something sprayed on the plant, we were unable to determine. A visit to the greenhouses would have furnished the clew. At the present time in the city of Springfield is a trouble affecting roses, which at first sight a grower would say was due to overwatering, but the trouble is not a new one; three expert growers have come and gone in the establishment, but all failed to solve it. The amount of water has been varied. It affects both grafted and own root plants and also benches with and without bottom heat. The owner, seemingly, has tried every- thing, yet there is an annual loss of $5,000 on account of not being able to solve it. An insect especially destructive on Me- teor rose was the subject of an investi- gation by an entomologist who pub- lished an excellent scientific account of the life history, but did not tell the growers how to combat it. Here was an excellent opportunity for practical in- vestigations of benefit to the rose grow- ing industry. President Vaughn, at Washington, spoke of the need of investigations with fertilizers and cut flowers. In addition, some investigations on soils for green- house crops need to be undertaken. Efforts for an Appropriation. Two years ago the florists of the state went to Springfield and asked for $30,000 to build greenhouses at the Experiment Station and to carry on investigations in floriculture. The men who went made a good impression and some persons in a position to know thought we would get something. The bill looked as though it would go through until the last ten days of the session. The house appro- priations committee recommended the bill out, carrying $15,000, and next day reconsidered and killed it on the score of economy. Every one in this associa- tion should recognize the fact that few people have any conception of the amount invested in floriculture and that we had to carry on an educational campaign. Much has been accomplished in this line and this association can do a great work in bringing to the people a realization of the extent of floriculture. As most of us were inexperienced in getting legislation, we made some mis- takes last time, but these have been over- come in our present endeavor to accom- plish the securing of an appropriation. The assurances are promising that we shall succeed. Our state is in good finan- cial condition and we must get our appro- priation this year if at all. If a period of depression should come, we could not X-. 1*...U. ,4..-^- •i.i:^:«k^.A..;.^^-^ .1. . .t. .u.. ^-»V.^>^'?

Kidd, lately with the Hinode Co. and with William Elliott & Sons, has been appointed customs inspector for the port of New York in the seed, bulb and plant department. There were a great many applicants for the position and Mr. Kidd is to be congratulated. He is competent and practical. Wilson's plant oil is as popular with the nurserymen as the florists. Andrew Wilson, of Summit, is a young man, but the inventive bee is in his bonnet. His brother has patented his cement bench and Eobt. G. Wilson, of Brooklyn, has in- vented a style of white bark decoration that has made his store the finest in the city of churches. The Wilsons are cer- tainly an inventive family. H. H. Berger & Co. will move from 47 Barclay street to 70 Warren street May 1. William Elliott announces the first auction of the year Qn March 12. The H. A. Stoothoflf Co. is having a wide call for its Aphicide nicotine paper, one of the most effective of fumigators. The cut flower exchange and market on the top floor of the Coogan building is to return to first principles and open at 5 o'clock in the morning. There is no limit to the strenuous life of the horti- culturist and soon there will be no limit to the hours. One would suppose 6 a. m. early enough for the opening services. Before long there will be all-night flo- rists, just as there are all-night banks. The market claims it had to change the hour of opening to meet the example of some of the adjoining wholesalers, who have for some time been on deck as early as 5 a. m. Bonnot Bros, are handling and ship- ping fine Enchantress and roses at their stand in the Coogan building. Frank Millang has completely recovered from his broken ankle accident and will be in line with the Long Island and Jersey growers at the early hour. John Seligman & Co. lately have added some growers of fine roses to their staff and are preparing for a large Easter call from out-of-town buyers, as well as their rapidly growing local trade. Perkins & Schumann find their quar- ters cramped for the increasing clientele since moving to the ground floor of the Coogan building. Before another year they expect to double the size of their present quarters. The Geller Florists' Supply Co. is dis- tributing a neat protection for telephone mouthpieces that involves utility, con- venience and good advertising. Twenty- eighth street continues to be the Mecca of the wholesalers. There will be fur- ther removals from adjoining streets to this center this spring. Centralization is the watchword. On Twenty-ninth street estates are changing hands and rents are rising. It looks as if both sides of Sixth avenue would ultimately harbor about an equal number of the trade with Twenty-eighth street. It would seem an excellent plan if Presi- dent Totty's prophecy should be ful- fllled that the New York club locate its home on this famous street. George J. Allen, eldest son of J. K. Allen, celebrated the christening of the veteran's first grandchild with a reunion at his home on Sunday evening. Siebrecht & Son have a new yellow rose that is very popular and which the firm expects to exhibit at the rose convention in Washington. J. Austin Shaw. hope to get an appropriation for floricul- ture. If we fail this year we may wait ten years to get anything. Once the in- dustry is recognized we can demonstrate the need of experimental work and con- tinue the appropriation. Our asking will not fail if this association properly sup- ports the movement. Each member should personally see his representative on the appropriations committee in the assembly and ask his support for an ap- propriation for work in floriculture.

TheVUaktL The promise of the old proverb con- cerning March should encourage all who labor for and anticipate a profit- able Easter, The fickle month has come in like a liou, so we may depend upon sunny skies and pleasant weather for its close. But no industry can realize the planning, difficulties and dangers of this movable festival of Easter so viv- idly as do the florists, and it would give general satisfaction, to this trade at any rate, if the ecclesiastical authorities would get together and fix upon April 15 every year for this spring celebration and cut the moon out of it altogether. The only consolation this year is that Easter comes some years as early as March 22. Winter is making up for lost time and we have more snow than Canada can boast, as a visitor from Toronto has .lust informed me. The week opens with iow temperature and business showing little improvement. Last week was called the dullest of the year and prices of everything were at the bottom. The cold hampered the street merchants and so dammed the violet outlet. It is safe to say that at times a million violets were spending the night in the whole- sale district, dependent upon the weath- er and the Athenians as to whether they would ever see the light. The finest specials just in sold as low as 40 cents and hordes of leftovers were closed out gladly at $1 a thousand. It is painful to contemplate and perhaps the less said about it the better. The oldest wholesaler, and there are several of them, says he has never seen any- thing like it at this season of the year, and yet if one consults the records of a year ago he will find that this is but a recurrence of past experiences and that every year the weeks just preceding Easter are "dead ones." With Lent and winter out of the way the old-time prosperity will rapidly materialize and by March 31 we will forget. Just now there is enough and to spare of every variety of flower. Boses are coming in quantity and color to the satisfaction of buyers and prices, which have held firm while all else retrograd- ed, arc now shaded considerably, the best Brides and Maids selling as low as $10 per hundred on Saturday. Beauties hold better than any other Atariety and there has been no change in quotations for several weeks, the best grades still not equal to the demand. Chatenay, KlUarney and Richmond have held their own and are in a class not dependent on oversupply, for there are never enough of them. Spring flowers are much in evidence, sweet peas, forget-me-nots and stocks, with slight demand. Where the nar- cissi come from, if not the south, is hard to estimate. There have never been such heavy receipts, every whole- saler being overwhelmed with them. Thousands were sold at 10 cents a bunch and some large clearings were made at 50 cents a hundred. There seems no end to the lily of the valley and the number of gardenia growers must have been greatly increased since a year ago. Easter lilies are not yet plentiful. Carnations are especially weak, some grand stock selling as low as $20 a thousand. Enchantress and many of the novelties included. Samples of the green variety are already on exhibition. The supply men have the secret of manu- facture widely disseminated and every man of the 60,000 in the parade March 16 will doubtless depend upon the florist for suitable decoration. Orchids grow more popular as the varieties increase and the retail win- dows are made attractive by profuse use of them, the prices being most reason- able with Easter only three weeks away. McManus says orders are already being booked for shipments at that time to every large city within a radius of a thousand miles. Vartoisi Notes. Monday, March 11, is rose night at the New York Florists' Club and ex- hibits are solicited, not only of roses, but of every novelty in plant and flower. An interesting evening is as- sured. Visitors are cordially invited. The club is making rapid progress. An in- teresting surprise will make the evening memorable. The attendance should never go below 100, now that special ar- rangements are made monthly by the entertainment committee to get out of the beaten track and make the evenings worth while to all who come. On Wednesday Mrs. W. B. Fullerton delivered at the American Institute an interesting illustrated lecture on "Beauty and Utility in the Home Plot," greatly enjoyed by a large audi- ence and made especially attractive by the colored lantern slides introducing personal experiences and accomplish- ments. These lectures are given weekly and on Wednesday, March 6, George T. Powell will discuss "How to Lay Out a Country Place" with stereopticon illus- trations. March 27 H. Siebrecht, Sr., will lecture on "Easter Flowers and Spring Gardens." Messrs. Siebrecht & Son have opened a new store at Ninetieth street and Broadway and fitted it up handsomely. , ..A.*->j^ul- .. .. 1. .fit- -_ It .^'^'^..^ i ..■.'. ^..^-^ ;^&t*^jM.4U, t -'.A^- -A ■■:^' , *.:-■ - '^^'■,Li»' >t.-t>-i.-...»l^ t gi.^-V.^ i^ . -, jr-Aa- [J sn iihti- I'l- , -fnHriiiiirrffc ■^■■nT- i hiiJfi I rJAaariiWiitiiii 'Tv^rrjaT;"™" ™ ^^^^i^^^Ti^-'^'^- '"^"iv^^^^rT' r .^r^r^' ■^. , ., .- .p .- ,^ . T-^ 'If-.- Mabch 7, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review^ U7l WAYSIDE NOTES. The Baltimore Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club is justly proud of its new home and the banquet given to the lady friends of the members Monday evening, February 25, in the hall of the building, ■was voted by all as being immense. The building is complete in every detail, with storage rooms in basement and on the ground floor and so constructed that up to the present time no ice has been needed to keep the temperature down to the desired degree. Manager Perry, of the Baltimore Florists' Exchange, showed me stock that had been held more than a week, owing to dull demand. It was perfectly crisp and fresh. Growers are increasing about Balti- more, but there is room for a good Beauty specialist. The constant call for this rose and good price paid war- rants the investment. Since the great fire wonderful improvements have taken place in this city and the craft have shared in the advance. All the principal stores are located near each other and make excellent displays. Feasts' second store uptown is the lat- •est move to keep in touch with business moving northward. They carry, un- doubtedly, the largest stock of decorative plants in the south, devoting two big houses to that purpose. The tall house for asparagus, built on the W. H. Elliott plan, is a success, as, in addition to heavy, long strings, sufficient seed is saved annually to pay for itself. A platform has been erected near the ridge, along which Asparagus Sprengeri is planted in boxes. The plants, having unlimited head-room, make great growths. A fine lot of the uncommon Acacia pubeseens was noted, also the new daisy. Queen Alexandra, which, while a finer and larger flower, is later than the old variety. Adiantum Croweanum is pre- ferred to all other maidenhairs. Carna- tipns are not extensively grown. Cardi- nal is the best red, good color and keeper, but not free enough. Jenning's patent for benches, consisting of 1-inch iron pipe set in concrete, is used entire- ly for roses; first cost is all there is. Golden Gate is grown largely here and in Washington, Ivory does even better than Bride. Perle is stiU popular. Me- teor is, at present, more satisfactory than Eichmond, which is grand farther north. A battery of Furman boilers furnishes the heat; a gasoline engine the motive power for pumping liquid manure, which is carried into every house by a system of piping. An auto is the latest addition to the delivery system of this up-to-date place. Dropping in at F. H. Kramer's, Wash- ington, D. C, I had the opportunity to see his new rose. Queen Beatrice, in va- rious stages of growth, and while the newly cut blooms are most intense in •color, those that had been kept in the windSw for five days were but just show- ing off color, which, at this stage, re- sembles that old favorite, La France. As the rose will be at its best during the convention of the Rose Society, an excellent opportunity will be offered to see it growing. Mr. Kramer says it is the best all the time and Maids will not sell while the Queen is around. Peter Bisset, at Twin Oaks, has a promising seedling, of which Queen Beatrice is one of the parents; but the gem of his collection is the result of a •cross which has produced a perfectly full-cupped form of the hybrid tea, with the scent of a hybrid perpetual, large petalled, good center, excellent forcer, in color between Mme. Gabriel Luizet and Marquise de Castellane. Unfortunately there will not be a bloom open around convention time, but at the time of my visit I saw a grand flower, unlike any- thing I have hitherto seen. It is a win- ner, no doubt about that. To visit his houses at this time one could hardly conceive the grand display of aquatics, made possible during the summer, and for which Twin Oaks is famous. The stores operated by the craft in Washington are a show in themselves and will well repay a visit. Eetailers from smaller towns can carry away ideas which, for various reasons, they do not originate, but readily copy, and it is quite in order so to do. Easter displays will attract crowds of sightseers and it is expected that the rose show will be more largely patronized than any pre- iraVERY now and then a well u9 pleased reader speaks the word which is the means of bringing a new advertiser to P Silts' Such friendly assistance is thoroughly appreciated.

Baartman, senior member of the bulb growing firm of Baartman & Koning, of Sassenheim, Holland. Mr. Baartman was one of the passengers on the steamer Berlin, which was wrecked off the coast of Holland February 21. Of the 143 passengers on board only fourteen were saved and Mr. Baartman was one of those whose lives were lost. He was returning from a business trip through England in the interests of his firm. Previous to this he had made an even dozen trips to the United States and had made a wide ac- quaintance in the trade. He numbered as many friends as any Hollander com- ing to this country, for he knew his busi- ness thoroughly and was most careful in all his dealings. The information of his death comes to his partner, John Kon- ing, who is at present traveling in this country and who states he will continue the business as heretofore. Mr. Baartman is worthy of special mention from the fact that he was a life member of -the S. A. F. and was the only European member of the craft who was so affiliated with our national or- ganization. It is to his friendship with William F. Kasting that his mem- bership was due. He joined during Mr. Kasting 's administration. Philip Winter. Philip Winter died February 22, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. J. A. Brack, at Glenville, O. Mr. Winter was 83 years old and a pioneer florist of Cleveland. He located at Glenville in 1853. Four children survive him. The funeral was held Sunday, February 24, from the residence of Mrs. Brack. Ferdinand Tschupp. Ferdinand Tschupp, whose serious ill- ness was chronicled in the Review a few weeks ago, died at his home at North Bergen, N. J., Sunday, February 24. The funeral services were held February 28 and were largely attended, as Mr. Tschupp was widely known and affiliated with a number of Masonic bodies. He was 66 years of age. Isaac M. Brainard. Isaac M. Brainard, a well-known and wealthy citizen of Gouvemeur, N. Y., died February 26 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Emma Johnston, aged 79 years. For about thirty-five years Mr. Brainard had been engaged in the mar- ket gardening business and operated ex- tensive greenhouses in the town. He leaves one son, William G. Brainard, and one daughter, Mrs. Johnston. Sylvester Snell. Sylvester Snell, a well-known market gardener, of Watertown, N. Y., died Feb- ruary 26 at the age of 73 years. He leaves, besides his, wife, two daughters, Mrs. Herbert Gumee and Mrs. Frank Beckstead, of Watertown; five sisters, Mrs. A. Gillett and Mrs. Clara Holden, of Watertown; Mrs. Barbara Shaw, of Adams Center; Mrs. Joshua Snell, of Little Falls, and Mrs. Harrison Fuller, of Honeyville, and one brother, David Snell, of Watertown. Frank Yahnke. Frank Yahnke, aged 70 years, who has been closely identified with horticulture in Minnesota for a number of years, died at his home at Winona February 27. He was the proprietor of the Pleasant Valley Nursery and for a number of years has been connected with farmers' institute work, acting as lecturer through the winter months. He originated the Yahnke apple. James B. Ennis. James B. Ennis, a veteran nurseryman, died February 24, at his residence in Bloomington, HI,, which place had been his home for more than forty years. His death was due to grip and pneumonia, although his health had been feeble for some time. Mr. Ennis was born in County Dublin, Ireland, October 18, 1831, emigrating to America at the age of 19 years. He located in Philadelphia and entered the Eleventh Pennsylvania Volunteer Infan- try. After the civil war he moved to Bloomington, where he became employed in the nursery business. He married Miss Mary Sheehan, forty- four years ago, in Philadelphia. Six children were born, all of whom are still living. ..■:-■..■■-■.:.;■■. -i ii-^a|j;V|-||ifiiV|-h'flii|fc|i^«i'-Mitii>ii>iit.-it .-^^^^ II II • J.tt=..v^-:vA..i.'t>-- i^'.K-.s^^ .ki:JtjajL ^^-^ ' vm ii|i|^.- M72 y' The Weekly Florists^ Review* Mabch 7, 1907. ^; lt/i'-*^>.V^,.. ■r-^■•«^^:>^ ,;-:> .....^:yhM.jUii»M j^ J. fti.-ifcrt\.ri {'fiViih'r mji'^* j.i.-rA.tt ^«,^- ■.&,»■. «^_ ■^■B"* ^fW^'W "i'l^T^^ V J^T^J '» ■"WS^T'^ ■■ ^ ■TT*5-V'- W3^-w**'V'"''''J'V^'P^"'f?"W^H.)|l'.ll.^ ' >T,'.

The lessened social ac- tivity, due to the advent of Lent, has pretty well worn away, so that the legit- imate demand is about equal to the sup- ply of first-class stock in roses. The knowledge that spring sales are now in order has become general in stores where this market is not drawn upon except for special large lots, with the result that last week the call for carnations in thou- sand lots was so good that the price was advanced on Friday, when most of the big shipments went out. Friday night one house reported sending out 20,000 carnations on these special orders — but it did not serve to clean them out. Beauties continue in short supply. There are not enough of the long and medium grades to fill orders. Short stock is more abundant and less in re- quest. Quality is variable, but both cut and quality are due shortly to improve materially. Bride is in considerably bet- ter demand than Bridesmaid. In fact, all white stock is selling well because of a large amount of funeral work. The same factor causes short roses to realize pretty fair prices. None of the growers has any complaint to make at the state of the rose market. Chatenay is seen in fine form and there are large receipts of Bichmond of superb quality. Kil- larney is giving a good crop for several growers and maintains its popularity. The carnation market this week is slightly better than last, but there con- tinue to be heavier receipts than the legitimate demand can consume. A little bad weather last week put the violet market in a worse state than at any time thus far this season. The stopping of business produced an accu- mulation from which the market has not rallied. Prices went down to where many shipments realized no more than express charges and there was considerable loss. For the very best stock in the small lots 50 cents per hundred was top. Callas continue abundant. There are increased receipts of Easter lilies. The quality is nothing to brag of with most of the growers. Tulips continue in large supply, but not so many daffodils and jonquils are seen. There is still enough valley, but not quite such heavy receipts as in the last fortnight. Sweet peas are much more abundant, of fine quality and selling well. The wholesalers are speculating on the outcome in the fern department. Stock is spoiling rapidly and that received from the east indicates a similar condi- tion there. It is predicted that $4 to $5 per thousand will be the price before new ferns are in. Smilax frequently is difficult to procure. Orders should be booked a day in advance if possible. Adiantum also is shortening up. Strings of asparagus are in fair supply but bunches are small.

Weber, Jr., was in town last week asking the growers to send exhibits to the flower show of the St. Louis Hor- ticultural Society, which opened March 4. Leonard Kill is attending, with a large display of Peter Eeinberg's roses. He took some magnificent Brides, Maids, Richmond, Chatenay and Uncle John, also an exhibit of Beauties and several other varieties they grow in lesser quan- tity. C. L. Washburn went down to do a little missionary work on behalf of the red carnation. No. 20. J. D. Thomp- son, of Joliet, also took an exhibit. Williams and His Plans. Frank Williams and his partner, George, of the Alpha Floral Co., Des Moines, have opened temporarily on the corner of Adams and Wabash, where they have a large double store. They state they have a three years' lease and have ordered fixtures to fit the place up in first-class style. As soon as these are ready they will open a permanent store there. May 1 Frank Williams will close the Masonic Temple store, which he has con- ducted since the departure of Mosco. He states he is making little money there and the landlord added $4 a day to the rent. The Randolph street store will be continued as usual. Favors The Queen. J. P. Brooks, who is conducting the old George Harrer place at Morton Grove, thinks The Queen is the most profitable carnation in commerce today. He has more than 20,000 plants of this variety and grows less than 1,000 of any | other sort. Last year The Queen made more money for him than any other va- riety he grew, and this year, with greatly increased plantings, it is making the same comparison with other sorts. Mr. Brooks was for some time foreman for the Poehlmann Bros. Co. and is an ex- cellent grower. Belated "Wedding Announcement. It has developed that Julius Niesen, formerly with Wienhoeber, and for the last couple of years in business for him- self at Holden's old stand on Forty- seventh street, took unto himself a wife several months ago. He neglected to make any announcement at the time, but always has a cigar in his pocket in case of emergencies. Gatfield Park G)nsefvatory. Jens Jensen, superintendent of the west side parks, says the new conserva- tory to be erected in Garfield park will be the finest in Chicago, and those less conservative connected with the park ad- ministration say it will be the finest in America. The estimated cost is $225,- 000. It is to be quadrangular, covering 230x302 feet. Tlie bids will be opened next Tuesday. Veather in February. The mean temperature for February was 26 degrees, right on the average for the last thirty-seven years. The highest was 53 degrees, February 13, and the lowest 2 degrees below zero, February 4. It was only three above February 22, giving quite a variety. The precipitation was only one inch, less than half the i normal. There was ten inches of snow. The wind averaged fifteen miles an hour, one mile more than in January. There were six clear days, fourteen: partly cloudy and eight cloudy. January had twenty cloudy. Various Notes. John Pehrson, who was for a long time in the retail department of the George Wittbold Co., has opened an at- tractive store on his own account at 25 East Forty-third street. It is an excel- lent neighborhood and only a few doors from the Illinois Central station, where it is passed each day by thousands of people who can afford to buy flowers — and most of them do. Jensen & Dekema will try four novel- ties in carnations this season, planting each one quite heavily. These will be White Enchantress, Winsor, Beacon and Aristocrat, and Mr. Jensen thinks they are the four finest varieties that ever have been added to the lists in one year. N. J. Wietor says the business in rooted cuttings is ahead of expectations this year. Orders are larger than ever before. One order was for 10,000 Beauty cuttings and there have been a number equally large but including several vari- eties. Arthur B. Dietsch is enjoying a good cut of carnations from the late Winandy place, handled by Zech & Mann. There also is a good crop of lettuce now on and bringing good money. Michael Fink, who sold out his retail store on Cottage Grove avenue, is now with the A. L. Randall Co. The Randall Co. reports the call for white lilac stead- ily ahead of the supply.

It is said to be the largest force employed by any cut flowier grower in the United States. The Florists' Club holds its March meeting next week, Thursday evening. Easter will be the subject for discussion. C. W. McKellar says orchids have im- proved in supply the same as other items and that the demand is a little slow at present because no great amount of wed- ding work is done during Lent. The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is han- dling some excellent sweet peas from the E. G. Hill Co., Bichmond, Ind. Home-grown orange blossoms are one of the March specialties of the E. F. Winterson Co. They say the green car- nation fluid is selling better than ever this year. P. Pearson contemplates selling his in- terest in the business of Keene & Pear- son, 920 North Campbell avenue, to en- gage in carpentering. It is reported that J. F. Kidwell has abandoned his plan of erecting a range of greenhouses west of the city this sea- son, E. Franzen, sales manager for Schei- den & Schoos, says the demand for car- nation cuttings, especially Enchantress, continues excellent. He is surprised at the number of inquiries received for un- rooted cuttings of Enchantress. Klehm's cut of Novelty tulips is o%Ter for the season. Kennicott Bros. Co. re- ports having done especially well on them this year. James King, of Elmhurst, is serving on the federal grand jury, reported by the daily papers as about to indict a number of trust officials. O. P. Bassett has written from Fun- chal, Island of Madeira, that the flowers of their red carnation. No. 20, taken with him on the steamer, were still in good condition. They were shipped from Chicago February 5 and Mr. Bassett 's letter was dated February 12, The latest popular song had been sung by John P. Kisch, if with somewhat dif- ferent words, for two years before it became the hit of musical comedy. Its title is * ' My Irish Eosie. ' ' A good many have joined in the chorus. E. C. Amling says the sun has brought out the sweet peas in abundance. They have had a brisk sale up to the last few days. Although Peter Keinberg has been de- nounced by Alayor Dunne and his friends because as alderman he voted for the new traction ordinances, and because he favored Carter Harrison for mayor, when the Dunne people made up their finance committee they put Mr. Eein- berg's name well up on the list. He is expected to raise funds for a cause he does not favor. All that Mr. Beinberg does in the present campaign will bo done for the democratic party and not for municipal ownership. Adam Wolniewicz says he will have about 1,000 geraniums in bloom for Eas- ter. One of the sections of his cast-iron boiler broke last week, but he patched it with Smooth-on cement and escaped loss. He thinks the patched boiler will carry him through tlie season. A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Spcrry, has spent a few days canvassing the prospects among the growers and thinks well of them. "\Vm. A. Peterson and "Gipsy" Smith, the evangelist, have been conducting re- vival services in various parts of Chi- cago, doing spring plowing in the Lord's garden, as it were. At E. H. Hunt's, C. M. Dickinson says the approach of spring is made ap- parent by increased calls for To-bak-ine products. Kobert Klagge and wife, Mt. Clemens, Mich., were in town last week. Otto 6oerisch was lucky man in a suit club this week, on an investment of $2. The business in young stock seems quite satisfactory to all this year. There also is an excellent sale for the old plants from the benches, especially Beau- ties. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Business is still good locally, as a fair week's business was reported last week by almost all the retailers. Funeral work is especially heavy. There seem to be ])lenty of small weddings and an occa- sional large one, in spite of tiie Lenten season. The Orthwein wedding, March 5, was one of the largest this season. Other social work is somewhat scarce. In roses, first-class stock in Brides and Maids is still scarce and high in price. Large quantities of violets are being brought into market every day and the demand for them is excellent. Prices range low. The supply of Californias will be small for Easter. Carnations are a little too plentiful, but still in great demand, with prices for extra fancy at $4 per hundred. Qual- ity is extra fine in all varieties, especially -■ ■^^■■«^- - -AwAi Xk^'.-.

Guy, of Belleville, has returned from a visit to bis father, at St. James, Mo. C. De Wever, who has been very sick for the last three weeks, has fully recov- ered. Mr. De Wever had a close call, but his strong constitution pulled him through. Walter Eetzer, late in the employ of Mrs. M. M. Ayers, is now with the St. Louis Seed Co. J. W. Dunford, at Clayton, is busy shifting his stock of 15,000 geraniums into 4-inch pots. He reports that he is entirely sold out of pot lilies for Easter. C. A. Kuehn reports that the green carnation fluid put up by the Manchester Chemical Co. is selling well. S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was in town this week. Walter Weber and Frank Fillmore paid a visit last week to their friends, John Steidle, A. Jablonsky and James Dunford, in the country. Miss Meyers, bookkeeper for George Angermueller, says that the rumor report- ing that she is to be married soon is a bit too previous and says that a man of her choice must have 100,000 feet of glass well filled with the choicest stock. W. C. Smith & Co. have received a large shipment of florists' supplies from Bayersdorfer, Philadelphia, including good styles in wicker baskets. Charles Dauernheim, Jr., of Kimnls- wick, Mo., is cutting a fine lot of extra quality carnation blooms, which are con- signed to Henry Berning. Oscar Huettmann must be busy these Lenten days, from the amount of stock he carries home each morning. Rude Windt, who has charge of his fa- ther's show houses, has a fine lot of blooming plants and cut stock. Business is all that could be expected during the Lenten season. Fred Pope, on the south side, has had a busy week in funeral orders. His houses are well filled with Easter stock of all kinds. Henry Ostertag, of Ostertag Bros., re- ports the Orthwein wedding for Tuesday one of the largest of the season. They ordered a large shipment of orchids from New York. This order will run close to $1,000. From present prospects quite a lot of glass will be added by several of the Kirkwood growers this summer. Grow- ers at this place have almost doubled their business this season. They grow little but violets and carnations. A. Berdan, of Kirkwood, is sending in some extra fine lily of the valley and other bulbous stock, John Burke, Fred Foster and Alex Sie- gel tried to corner the market in violets last Saturday and partly succeeded early in the morning, but later too many came in, so the smaller buyers had theii share as well. Monday morning the committee was working hard in the banquet hall in the Masonic Temple to have everything in readiness for the Horticultural Society's spring flower show, which opened March 4. I Complimentary tickets have been sent broadcast to business men and soci- ety folks. In this way it is expected to enroll a large number of the more wealthy class, who will, in the future, pay for the holding of flower shows in the fall. J. J. B. BALTIMORE. The Market. Business last week was fairly good. Nothing of great importance was on hand, but enough trade to keep everyone going steadily at this time of the year. Funeral work has been the most called for. Our growers have no trouble in disposing of their cut blooms, as we have had so vast an amount of funeral work; in fact, any kind of flowers were salable that could be used. We are having fine, bright sunshine and roses and carnations are coming in heavier, with a slight decrease in prices. A large amount of bulbous stock is on the market and can be had in any quan- tity at reasonable prices. The Harrisii stock looks unfavorable in some sections and a short crop is feared. Sweet peas are more regular, while violets are plen- tiful, bringing 50 cents per hundred. Greens are scarce and many order from the north. The cost and expressage make them expensive and there is not much profit for the retailer. .i-.. t ii^^.-^J^lMe^u T'^TTITT' Mabch 7, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review. J 177 E. F.

Club Meeting and Banquet The regular meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club was held February 25 in the new Baltimore Florists' Exchange building, with Vice-president Charles Seybold in the chair. The meeting was cut short. The new bookcase is now in our club-room and was admired by every- one. Otto Fielder was elected a member. The banquet committee took charge of the larger part of the evening. The rooms were handsomely decorated with cut flowers and potted plants and while the musicians played many danced. August Bernard and brothers ren- dered a number of songs in English and German, after which the chairman in- vited the jolly crowd downstairs. The doors of the salesroom of the exchange were thrown open and at the sight of the many good things a rush was made and justice was surely done. It took about two hours to reach the last course. About 100 covers were laid and every lady received at least one flower. F. G. Burger was the toastmaster. The arrangement for the special ladies' night and feast was in the hands of a com- mittee composed of 1. H. Moss, T. Pat- terson and M. Eichmond. Those who responded to the toasts were Bichard Vincent, E. A. Seidewitz and Robert L. Graham. It was said to be one of the most successful banquets ever held by the club and the ladies were assured that a ban- quet will be given them by the club once a year. J, L. T. BOSTON. The Market. The inevitable slump has come and flowers are more of a drug than for a long time. Values have fallen heavily and vary so much that it is hard to give quotations. Ice-chests which for a good many weeks were practically empty are now filled to overflowing and these con- ditions are likely to continue until the holding back of stock for Easter causes a lessened supply. Eoses are much more abundant and have dropped nearly to normal prices. A few hybrids, mostly Brunners, are seen and sell much better than Beauties, which latter are being hard pushed by Eichmond this season. Carnations have sold as low as $1 and none but select stock makes or exceeds $3.

About sixty members of the Garden- ers' and Florists' Club assembled at the banquet room of the Boston Club, 22 School street, on the evening of March 6, the occasion being a complimentary banquet and testimonial to ex-Presidents J. A. Pettigrew and James Wheeler. A generous response was the result when an appeal was made to the club mem- bers for small contributions toward a fund for recognizing in some way the services the two esteemed past presidents had rendered to the club. F. E. Palmer had charge of the arrangements and these were well carried out. The deco- ration committee had seen to it that the tables were tastefully adorned and the room presented a very attractive ap- pearance. After dinner had been served and cigars passed, Edward Hatch, the genial treasurer of the club for the last thir- teen years, assumed charge of the post- prandial exercises and called on a num- ber of those present for remarks. Pat- rick Welch, in his own inimitable way, in the name of the club spoke of the way ex-President Pettigrew had re- galvanized the club into life and the earnest work he had done as presiding officer for two years, also of the earnest and enthusiastic work of his capable successor, James Wheeler, during his tenure of office and amid applause pre- sented each in turn with a handsome tes- timonial in the form of a handsome bronze group, suitably inscribed. The two recipients gracefully and feelingly responded, speaking of their terms of service being made especially pleasant by the willingness of the members to aid them in every way. A musical program of songs, readings, etc., was interspersed and the whole evening was a very en- joyable one. Various Notes. J. A. Pettigrew lectured at Horticul- tural hall March 2 on trees for streets and waysides before a good audience. An animated discussion followed the lec- ture. Fire of unknown origin caused heavy damage at the establishment of Elijah Cartwright, in Needham, on the morn- ing of February 28. Efforts to subdue the flames with small hose were inef- fective and before help came the head house was almost gutted and the ends of several connecting houses burned out. The stock in these houses was almost a total loss, carnations being mostly grown. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. Cartwright, whose loss would not have been so great but for the fact that on the morning in question the thermometer was 10 degrees below zero. Boston's big annual automobile show opens March 9, the whole of the immense Mechanics' building^ as well as Horti- cultural hall, being utilized for the show, which equals in size and number of ex- hibitors the two recent New York ex- hibitions combined. The decorations are elaborate and unique. Mechanics' build- ing is a representation of a New Eng- land apple orchard with the trees in full bloom. Entries are coming in from the spring exhibition of the Massachusetts Horti- cultural Society. While the fine ex- hibits of the American Eose Society will be missed this year, there will be an abundance of other attractive features.

A recent call on Joshua Lawson, at E. J. Milton 's in Brookline, found the cattleyas, which are the special feature here, in fine condition. In the center stage in the cattleya house the plants are tied on rafts, six or seven plants to each, and seemed in excellent health. Dendrobiums and some other orchids are also grown. A fine batch of specimen cyclamens was noted. At Mrs. H. Dumaresq's, in Chestnut Hill, where William Downs presides, we found excellent batches of Primula ob- conica, cyclamens and other seasonable plants. In carnations, Patten, Lawson and Enchantress were doing especially well. Another season Beacon and Winsor will be tried. Bridesmaid and Eichmond are mostly grown in the rose house. A batch of exceedingly fine specimens of Lorraine begonias were just on the wane. Nectarines were just coming into flower. Mr. Downs' cot- tage is both internally and externally one of the most attractive we have seen. February broke all records for low temperature for a long term of years. In North Easton we recorded zero or below on twelve nights, the lowest be- ing 20 degrees. March is rather severe, but there is no very springlike feeling in the air yet.

PHILADELPHIA. The Risine Eastern Market. The days when everything sold at good prices hav« passed for the time being, and it is now oftentimes diflScult to mar- ket flowers at anything like satisfactory prices. The oversupply of daffodils is past, with daily expectations of southern shipments, now overdue. Tulips are, however, sold at distressingly low prices; really fine stock has been retailed on the street at less than cost of bulbs. This is merely an indication of the depres- sion in the tulip market. The stock is excellent in all colors. Violets, while abundant in supply, are selling well at moderate prices. Sweet peas are also extremely plentiful. The best sell, but the medium and shorter grades are hard to market. Carnations are lower in price than a week ago, quality excellent, de- mand only fair. The situation in roses remains unchanged, excepting that teas are more plentiful. Smilax has advanced in price. The Washington Convention. Those intending to exhibit at the Wash- ington convention of the American Rose Society can obtain the premium list with all the latest additions by applying to Benjamin Hammond, Fishkill-on-Hudson, New York, or Charles McCauley, Eight- eenth and Kearney streets, N.

The average quality of the Easter plants at Godfrey Aschmann's is decid- edly higher year by year, showing the re- sult of hard, painstaking work. The lil- ies are nicely budded, averaging five flowers to the plant, clean and healthy. They are already being hardened off in some of the houses. The spiraeas, the va- riety is Gladstone, are well grown and full of buds. Azaleas are here in great quantity, the varieties noted being Deutsche Perle, Vervteneana, and Mme. Vander Cruyssen. Hydrangeas, cinera- rias. Ramblers, primroses, begonias and bulbous flowers make up the assortment. What especially impresses one about God- frey Aschmann's place is the care he has given to studying the wants of his mar- ket (all the sizes are the best selling commercial varieties) and the large quantity of stock that he disposes of each season. Carnations at Craig's. Robert Craig showed me as pretty a lot of carnations as one could wish to see. His Enchantress paid him 93 cents a plant last season, a remarkable yield, and this year promises to do as well or better. White Perfection and Vesper are his whites, Robert Craig his scarlet, while for crimson he has a fine seedling of C. W. Ward's 'as yet unnamed. A whole house of seedlings in their second year is a fine sight. A pink of good size, brighter than Daybreak, is exceptionally promising. -U.*jt? %^^-,:^'ira.T.

We ]vd\-v taken cuttings from the variegated side and also the berries, Tlie seed is just show- ing now and from all appearances it will come variegated; at any event, it is en- tirely different from the other seedlings. The berries on the variegated plant were the same as on the green variety. It made a very pretty plant. Do you think, this would take as a novelty and do you know of any one else who has struck a seedling of this nature? Ans. — T think well grown and well ber- ried variegatt^d plants of Jerusalem cherry would make an excellent novelty. [ have never heard of variegated plants coming true from seed.

Nearly every state and territory in the Union will be represented, as well as different portions of Canada. Washing- ton is particularly interested in three classes open to amateur competitors. Three prizes of $5, $3 and $2 are offered by John Clarke for best specimen of a fern' which has been grown in a dwelling for at least four months previous to ex- hibition, Peter Bisset offers three prizes of similar amounts for best specimen of rubber plant grown under same con- ditions.

While William and Samuel Graflf have been in Chicago, attending the marriage of their sister, Harry Aaron has been assisting James McKellar in handling the large business of the Graflf Bros. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. Avas espe- cially busy last week. Among other or- ders they had the supplying of carna- tions daily to the booths of the Ohio Hardware Men's Convention which is annually held here. The craft are most favorably com- menting upon the splendid American Beauty rosea at the Institution for the Feeble Minded. T. A. Sexton is in charge of the state's greenhouses there. The craft are glad that Mrs. E. M. Krauss is again able to be back at her store after a severe attack of the grip. The Clover Hill Greenhouses have a fine stock of Easter plants coming on, and, as usual, their regular business will carry them off. The Franklin Park Floral Co. has, as in past years, a large stock of geraniums coming on, and, considering the weather, the plants are in excellent condition. The varieties grown here are: S. A. Nutt, Queen of the West, Single Gen- eral Grant, Heteranthe (Double General Grant), and Mnie. Hallock Foote. The incorporation last week of the American Mutual Pottery Co., of Co- lumbus, with a capital of $100,000, means that our Columbus Pottery Co., recently destroyed by fire, will be rebuilt and operated. Another competitor for the cut flower business has appeared.' The Columbus Drug Co. has added a floral department. C. V. Heikes & Co., of Troy, O., have established headquarters here for spring nursery stock sales, and planting eon- tracts and are so advertising in the daily papers. There has been an unusiial number of spring openings in the big stores, which has used up a lot of stock, and this week one of the theaters gave carnations to its patrons. All this helps. A suit for .$500 damages has been brought against Gustave Drobisch, the dean of our florists. The plaintiff de- clares that the smoke from the green- houses of Mr. Drobisch, has blackened the walls of her house and polluted her cistern water. Much interest in the out- come of this case is felt by all the craft. The weather has been exceptionally sunny and fine lately, but it has been cold. A great trade is sure for Easter. Zero. Tipton, Ia. — Mr. Shiffer, who started the Tipton Greenhouse some years ago, has sold the plant to Mr. Patterson, whom he employed last winter during the busy season. Calumet, Mich. — Fire threatened the destruction of the greenhouses of the Lutey Floral Co. February 25. The of- fice building and boiler room were de- stroyed, and some of the plants were in- jured by frost. Bo.\NOKE, Va. — The case of McGhee, the florist, against the Tidewater, was closed February 26. Mr. McGhee claimed $1,200 from the Tidewater for alleged damages done to his flower beds on Jef- ferson street, but the court decided against him in the case. .JLj a''yf.->^'\^c''^^'!^^v'!!^-W'^\rr^^^'!^'-'jrr;^-'7^;^f^rw^:r/''y,m^.

This plant is to be numbered among the most attractive of recent introduc- tions,- says a writer in an English con- temporary. It has all the good attri- butes of the best alpine, and possesses the finest flowers of a naturally showy race. It is a Californian plant that grows wild under conditions that are alpine, on the one hand, and partaking of those of the desert on the other, inso- much that cultivation, as we understand it, is more likely to do harm than good. It forms a flattened, leafy rosette, in some measure like that of Echeveria met- allica, and averaging six inches across. The flowers are produced in dozens from the leaf axils, and are held nearly erect, are multipetaled, fleshy, and funnel- shaped, whilst the color scheme is apri- cot mainly, but later rose and purple struggle for place till the flower fades. It is a beautiful plant in flower, and quite distinct from any other. Under cultivation one could select for it a sheltered recess in rockwork, and plant it in a rift or seam between boul- ders, laying its roots back into soil and rock chippings as far as they will go. It cannot have too much solar heat, but it can have too much moisture, and the position noted is probably the best that can be given it. An importation from California of many adult specimens showed clearly the conditions under which the plants grow. The roots were exact copies of the larg- est dock roots ever dug — nearly a yard in length, and they bore the impress of rock chips and stout yellow loam very plainly. The size of root and leaf, and the num- ber of old flower stems these imported roots carried showed that this lewisia has not been seen under cultivation in half its real strength and capabilities of flower production. The Review is full of valuable infor- mation. In fact, it is the best florists' paper I have ever read. I would not be without it for ten times its cost. — Geo. Fauth, Woodlawn, Md.

The country papers, which are quite naturally opposed to the great mail order houses, have got hold of the fact that the seed catalogue of Montgomery Ward & Co. was excluded from the mail because of a so-called lottery feature, and are making capital of it. A CHANGE in the Department of Agri- culture, through the often rumored re- tirement of Secretary Wilson, or in the general government, through the inaugu- ration of a new administration, will doubtless have more or less effect in modifying the policy of supervising sev- eral lines of private endeavor.

To none of the government's new policies can objec- tion be made on principle, but the appli- cation of the rulings has resulted in much excessively fine hair-splitting and caused no end of annoyance. The conference report on the agricul- tural appropriation bill, carrying the usual provision for free seeds, was last Saturday approved by both branches of congress. CALIFORNIA CONDITIONS. Ordinarily a fairly satisfactory review of the condition of California crops at this time of the year might be given, but this season is so unusual that it is im- possible to make more than a very gen- eral statement. Boot crops are pretty Tvell in the ground, but so far (February 25) have made very little growth, and there are still many sacks in the hands of the growers. Onions are finally all planted, though only within the last fortnight one large grower had 2,000 or 3,000 bags still on hand. Part of the radish and lettuce seed is not yet planted, and some growers are still planting sweet peas, though every day of delay now adds to the risk of failure. The success of these late plant- ed peas will depend somewhat on the time when the hot waves come. If all goes well, they may make a good crop, because the ground is thoroughly soaked. The onion crop, on the whole, does not look encouraging. Some fields are in excellent condition, but many others have been drowned out, and many more have been so affected by water as to greatly retard the growth of the onions and to cause a thin stand. Weeds are also getting quite a start on some fields and they will make the work of the grower harder in this already dif- ficult season. Growers are now hustling after their bulb men for next year.

The horticultural trades in England are by the ears over the Prevention of Corruption Act, which prohibited the paying of commissions to employees, in- cluding gardeners, on purchases made for their principals. A trade meeting was held and over 800 firms have signed an agreement to seek no way of evading the provisions of the act, but to support it loyally. Now, the old seed house of Sutton & Sons has issued a circular, well within the terms of the act, which, while setting forth the firm's aversion to get- ting business by feeing customer's em- ployees, goes on to say that "while so many of our customers ask us to recog- nize the care bestowed on our seeds by the gardeners who have the cultivation of them, we have not the least objection to doing so, if we have the express ap- proval of the customer in writing. For this purpose we append a form, which may be signed and returned to us.

Perchance an occa- sional rank amateur who really grows his trifling allotment of cucumber, radish and turnip seeds bestowed by the con- descending favor of his congressman, may be led to enlarge his views and buy something worth while from his near-by seed dealer.

This charming addition to our greenhouse Primroses originated at the Royal Gardens, Kew, as an accidental cross between the small, bright- flowered Himalayan species, P. floribunda, and the sweet-scented P. verticillata, a native of Arabia. The plant is a strong grower, with bright green leaves, and numerous erect flower- scapes, 10 to 18 inches in height, producing flow- ers in whorls at intervals along their whole length. The flowers are fragrant, bright yellow in color, with a slender tube and spreading limb, nearly an inch in diameter. As a winter-flower- ing decorative plant it is an acquisition; its floriferousness when in a very small state is re- markable. Per pkt., 91.00. ARTHUR T.

After commenting on the absence of the usual number of gaudy lithographs in this year's catalogues, a writer in the Rural New-Yorker says : * ' The substitu- tion of accurate photographic reproduc- tions of flowers, fruits and plants for the old misleading woodcuts gives an air of sincerity to many catalogues that was formerly lacking, but every halftone is not directly made from the object repre- sented. This process reproduces as well from wash drawings, which may show the subject, not as nature produced it, but as the artist conceives it should have grown ! Little exaggeration, however, is indulged in except in the cases of a few incorrigi- ble offenders, whose customers must cer- tainly be accustomed to discount the claims heavily. The catalogues on the whole present such good appearance that the colored lithograph as an important pictorial feature may be largely discon- tinued in the future. A similar restraint is creeping by degrees into the descrip- tive matter, transforming seed and nurs- ery catalogues, acknowledged advertise- ments as they are, into reliable and in- structive monographs of value to every ■cultivator.

In speaking of the Cincinnati Market radish, the Livingston Seed Co., Colum- bus, 0., says: "This superb radish originated in the vicinity of Cincinnati, with the Glass Gardeners there, and has been continu- ally used by them for more than twenty years. We introduced it to our trade in the spring of 1895, and it at once became so deservedly popular that we have had to grow it ever since by the thousands of pounds to supply the demand. The tops are so small that the radishes may stand touching each other in the rows. One grower says that he never thins this va- riety as he does other kinds which run to seed if left standing too thickly. The Cincinnati Market radish grows perfect- ly straight and smooth, six to seven inches in length. Their attractive scar- let skin is very thin, the flesh crisp, brittle and of delightful flavor. The finest long, red radish in existence for forcing, and it outsells all others in any market. Eemaining, as it does, a long time in perfect condition for the table, after it is first ready for gather- ing, it is one of the very best varieties to plant in the home garden."

The Market Lent is here in full force and the results are noticeable in our line of busi- ness. The demand for colored stock is limited, although there has been no ap- preciable oversupply of light colored carnations or roses. Enchantress, Pros- perity and all the fancy light colored flowers offered have been sold quickly enough, and the same can be said of Brides and Maids. Beauties are few and far between in San Francisco at present. It looks as though the growers were all out of season at this time with their supplies. Bulbous stock is scarcer, al- though we still have a fair stock of late flowering narcissi and quite a few tulips are seen. Valley is plentiful and moves slowly. Violets are to be had in any quantity and the price remains the same. Wild maidenhair is coming into town in large quantities, much to the relief of the retailers, who have had much dif- ficulty in getting enough adiantum re- cently. Business is about as good as can be expected at this time and there is a fair supply of funeral orders enjoyed by the retailers. Over in Oakland business is well up to the handle and no complaints have been received recently on that score. The plant trade is now at its height and florists who handle these as well as cut flowers are very busy. Various Notes. W. H. Mann, the Pinole florist, is in town. He reports everything booming in his locality. Hutchings & James will make a spe- cialty of poinsettias for the coming sea- son. They are splendidly located at Elmhurst to handle the wholesale trade. Frank Shibeley and Alexander Mann have opened in good shape at 1203 Sut- ter street. They will carry a full line of florists' supplies. Domoto Bros, will be in line with three houses of Easter lilies. Their stock looks well at present. J. L. Dorris will take a trip to Los Angeles and the southern portion of the state in a few days. He expects to be absent a month. Arnold Eingier, representing W. W. Barnard Co., of Chicago, is in town. G. PLANT TRADE AT FBISCO. The effect on trade in the line of small plants in San Francisco has not been as bad by our late catastrophe as was predicted by many people. The plant line at present is fully as good as it has ever been. There is a good demand for stock and prices are better than for many years. The retail dealers are hav- ing a harvest, as it is doubtful if there was ever a season on this coast where there was so much stock moving. This Young Plants All propagfated from wood taken from plants in the field. This is the same stock as we are now planting^ in the field. NOTK OUR LOW PRICK ON HYBRID PKRFKTUALS.

There are so few really good nurseries on the coast, and such demands are being made on them, that they will have little to do business with after the season is over. Even heavy ornamental stock, such as sidewalk trees, hardy palms, cedars and material that usually takes many years to become salable, has been well cleaned out and it will be several seasons, even under the best of circumstances, before the young stock again will be large enough to make a showing. The facilities for importing stock from the east are so inadequate and the time of arrival so uncertain at present that many of our largest growers have bought sparingly in the east and Europe. This also has a tendency to make growing stock scarce and as there is no imme- diate relief in sight, the effect is bad for heavy planting of imported stock. Another feature is that large tracts of land in the vicinity of our cities, form- erly devoted to the nursery business, have been cleared off and cut up into town lots.

I have not referred to the cut flower growers in this article, confining myself rather to the plant growers and nurserj- men.

The nursery catalogues are now in full flight, and better printed, better illus- trated and more numerous than ever. The demise of Frank Yahnke, propri- etor of the Pleasant Valley Nursery^ Winona, Minn., is reported in the obitu- ary column this week. There is reported to be a brisk de- mand for peonies that have been heeled in over winter, but no one recommends spring planting of peonies except on the theory that the maxim that ' ' a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" ap- plies also to orders. The Peterson Nursery, Chicago, re- ports an excellent local, business ; so good, in fact, that they are not devoting the time they once did to the wholesale end. They have planted an unusual number of large specimens this winter, several hav- ing been hauled forty miles from the nursery. EosA RUGOSA makes a hedge of at- tractive appearance from early summer right up until winter sets in. The beau- tiful flowers of this most accommodating rose make a hedge of it especially de- sirable, not only on places where it is an aim to have something bright and out of the ordinary run of hedges, but it also appeals to planters who have occasion to plant where few things thrive well. Rosa rugosa does well almost anywhere and in any kind of soil. After the flow- ers pass away the seed berries mature rapidly and soon pretty nearly take the place of the flowers in point of attract- iveness. EUONYMUS. Mention The Review when yon write. Euonymus radicans is one of the best, if not the very best, climbing plant for many purposes, for covering buildings, although, perhaps, not so softly pleasing as English ivy or Amphelopsis Veitchii, it is, nevertheless, better than either of these; better than English ivy because it does not need the protection in winter that the latter does, and better than Amphelopsis Veitchii because it is an evergreen and, for that reason, especially desirable for use in cities and in the suburbs of cities, where anything green in winter is quite a consideration. This euonymus is desirable also because of its tenacity in clinging to whatever it is placed against. Euonymus radicans argenteo-variega- tus in habit much resembles the former and green variety, but as its name im- plies, the foliage is brightly variegated. This variety is much used for edging large and formal beds, for which purpose it is invaluable, not only because of its being suitable, but also because it grows into such a dense mass that the soil in the bed may be piled against it without injury. On the contrary, it thrives bet- ter when the soil is up to it in that way. It can be clipped or sheared in any way desirable.

In the course of a few years, with proper cooperation, the enforcement of t*-' ''" ^ '- ■">-'-■*'■ 'a'^ 1208 The Weekly Florists^ Review Maucii 10§7. fence laws, etc., wo can safely look for- ward to the total eradication of the cattle fever tick, one of the greatest scourges to southern agriculture. "Without cattle there can be no really successful agri- culture, and with the cattle tick, we can- not have the right kind of cattle. At present very few southern cattle can compete with the northern grown animals on account of the continued sapping of vitality by the tick. It is estimated and, I might add, conservatively estimated, that this insect is at present costing the south $100,000,000 annually. Think of what a vast amount of money this is, and then picture to yourself some of the advantages of tick eradication; the ad- vantage of removing from the fair shoulders of our bonny south the load of this yearly depletion of her coffers. I could continue these comparisons in- definitely, but as we are at this time most concerned with tlie nurseryman's side of the subject, I will speak only of those things which bear directly upon this phase. State Organizations. Almost all of the states in the Union now have their boards of entomology, crop pest commissions, or something of the sort, which are engaged in protect- ing the farmers, fruit growers, gardeners, florists, etc., from the depredations of various insects and plant diseases which would otherwise soon overrun the states and make the growing of any kind of plant a practical impossibility. This may seem a broad statement; but when we think of the destructiven»ss of some of our pests, and the wonderful powers of reproduction and spreading exhibited by them, we can see the truth of it. The majority of the organizations were formed primarily to fight the San Jose scale, the little insect which, thirty years ago, practically unknown in the United States, is today the most feared pest in this country, by all nurserymen and fruit growers. The southern states will serve as a good example of the danger of deferring the passage of crop pest laws until many insects, which might have otherwise been kept out, or their entrance greatly de- ferred, have been introduced. Our crop pest laws in most cases were not in- augurated as soon as in the majority of the more northern states and, as a consequence, unscrupulous nurserymen in the states having such laws and also in other states, dumped a great deal of stock, unsalable in the states having these laws, into the states not so fortunate. Here was where the southern states came into possession of a number of the insects of their neighbors. Had the southern states, as a whole, been as wide awake to the value of these laws as the northern ones, we might have saved our- selves thousands, yes millions, of dollars.

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 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 Cannas. 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 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; $6.00 per doz.: $35.00 per 100.

There are carnations enough to fill all demands. Violets are also more plentiful, selling from 50 cents to $1 per hundred. Amer- ican Beauties are selling slowly at pres- ent. There has been quite a few cheap carnations and one store had 16,000 on hand last Saturday and disposed of 14,- 000 of them. This store had a special sale on them at 35 cents a dozen. Two or three of the department stores also had carnations on sale at 20 cents to 30 cents a dozen. These sales supplied this city with cheap carnations for a week. AH of the florists are getting ready for the Easter trade. It looks as though there will be quite a good many Easter lilies that will not be ready for Easter, as they are forcing slowly. Various Notes. D. Freudenthal reports good business. Carnations are mostly called for and he handles a large quantity every week. The Kosery Conservatory, at Westport, was incorporated March 1 with $15,000 capital stock, paid up in full. The stock- holders are Ed Ellsworth, president; Al- pha Elberfield, vice-president and treas- urer, and H. E. Colvin, an attorney in the New York Life building, of this city, is secretary. These three are also directors of this new company. Being located in one of the best parts of the city, this new firm ought to do well. Its new store is completed and is open for business. The last two months of good weather has been in its favor in com- pleting the store and conservatory. Amil Eichenaurer, formerly employed by the Alpha Floral Co., has been sick for the last two weeks, but is now able to be out again. C. L. Knobe, of the J. W. Sefton Mfg. Co., was in Kansas City last week. He reports a fine business. W. H. H. Madisonville, Ky. — F. A. Chervenka has left Ira, O., in order to take up the management of the Pleasant View Green- houses at this place, for T. L. Metcalfe, of Hopkinsville, Ky. Wheeling, W. Va. — John Dieckmann & Co. have purchased twelve acres of land on Mountain View, where they will move their eight large greenhouses. Mr. Dieckmann will also erect a residence on the property. Announcefflent — 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 strictly in rotation and all orders will be completed by the 20th o! 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, cuttinss did not root as quickly as we expected; besides we are growinw 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 tbat every cutting is first-class in every respect. We wish to thank our patrons for their patience and assuring you of our very best attention and tbat your order will be filled by the time stated. CHICAGO CARNATION CO. A. T. Pyfer, jtf gr.

MABELLE NKW PINK CARNATION FOR 1007 Color— A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a faint yellowish cast; several shades lisrhter 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. 8t«ma— Invariably strong, but always grraceful, raoK- ins: from 12 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, •tc— A very quick, active grrower, making specimen plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On ac- count of its rapid growth, requires supporting yery soon after benching. Gets away rapidly, blooms early and gives long stems right from the start. Prodoot- iTeneaa- 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 112.00 per lOU; 1100.00 per 1000. THE H. WEBER & SONS CO., Oakland, Md.

Trade is good; but owing to the fact tliat the larger retailers grow their own bulbous stock, the sales at the wholesalers' ai-e comparatively small; consequently some stock goes to waste. Roses keep well cleaned up and with white carnations it is the same. Several thousand colored carnations, mostly En- chantress, variegated tulips, daffodils, etc., were not called for last week. Con- siderable valley is being disposed of. Sweet peas and forget-me-nots do not sell as well as might be expected. Com- mon ferns are becoming scarce. Smilax and asparagus are also scarce. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Klagge, of Mount Clemens, spent last week in Chicago. Some growers are keeping their car- nation houses cool in the hope of holding back the crop until Easter, when they will bring better prices, as in all prob- ability the present large supply will not last long, it is also apparent that lilies will be scarce in this vicinity. Present indications point to a good supply of the general run of Easter plants. Hugo Schroeter has the agency for Detroit and vicinity for the Baur clip and plier, for mending split carnations. The store at 245 Woodward avenue, for many years occupied by G. Leadly, is being torn down to make way for a large music hall. Mrs. Allen P. Cox, who re- cently acquired possession of Leadly 's business, has opened at 233 Woodward avenue, a few doors south of the old stand. P. F. Reuss is again in Detroit. He will be in the employ of B. Schroeter until after Easter. It would not necessitate a twenty years' sleep to make one feel a stranger in the business section of Detroit. This part of the city is rapidly undergoing a complete change. Many new buildings are being erected and numerous firms are changing their locations. The center of attraction for the florists seems to be Broadway and there is no doubt but what this fine thoroughfare will some day be called "florists' row." H. S. Hinsdale, Mass. — The fern dealers are having bad luck this season. The stock in storage has been spoiling, until now there is not enough to fill contract orders.

JENSEN & DEKEMA, CINONNATL The Market Last week developed a weak market and things lacked the snap and go which has been with us ever since the holidays. While this state of things is to be ex- pected during Lent, still, as we had es- caped so far, we were all in hopes that there would be no slack Lenten period this year. But it might have been much worse. Many of the retail men say that business was just as good as ever. But there is no question that there was a good let down, in the wholesale market at least. The demand was poor and prices dropped a little at a time till they were down to a fairly low level, low enough to make us feel a little uneasy. Monday there was a decided brace; in fact, last Friday and Saturday both showed a considerable increase in the demand. It would appear now that good business will prevail until after Easter. The supply of flowers is not heavy and, even should there be a few days when the demand is not all that could be de- sired, it will have little effect on the price of stock. Various Notea. The outlook for Easter continues to be good, but we need bright weather or a good many growers will fail to get in with a crop. W. K. Partridge reports that he expects to be in with a fine crop of both roses and carnations, which of course will go to supply his retail store. Max Eudolph says that his houses are just in shape to make Easter and he is happy over the prospects. As is usually the case though, there will be numerous growers who will miss it by about a week. Easter is early this year and with the cloudy weather that March usually brings it takes a smart one to be right in on the dot. February business was a revelation this year and every one reports a de- cided increase over last year. Fred Gear has just completed building his home in Clifton. He has spared neither expense nor labor to make his home right up-to-date and it is one of which he may well be proud. C. J. Ohmer. Kankakee, III. — E. Corbin, formerly of Grand Island, Neb., is preparing to plant five acres to Malaner Kran horse- radish, an imported variety, far superior to the domestic article. ORCHIDS...

The regular meeting of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society was held February 26, President Howard Nichols in the chair. Enoch Evans and A. L. Marshall were nominated for active membership. A fine vase of the new scarlet carna- tion, Beacon, from Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass., was on exhibition and was awarded a certificate of merit. Three well-grown plants of Primula stellata were exhibited by Thomas Atkinson, gar- dener to Mrs. Henry Siegle, Mamaron- eck, N. Y., who was awarded a cultural certificate. The monthly prize for twelve roses, other than American Beauty, Avas won by James Ballantj^ne, with Brides- maid. It was decided to hold the June show June 14 and the dates were fixed for the fall show for November 6 to 8. A communication from David Eraser, Pitts- burg, offering a prize of $25 for twelve blooms Chrysanthemum Miss Clay Frick at the fall show, was thankfully re- ceived, and it was decided to oifer $15 for the first and $10 for the second prize. A third prize of $10 was then donated for the same exhibit by James Requa. James I. Donlan read a paper on ' ' Art in Plant and Flower ' ' and gave some good illustrations in the arrangement of cut flowers. Joseph Bradley contributed the cut flowers, among which were Roman hyacinths. Primula obconica, mignonette, cyclamen, carnations and sweet peas. A lively discussion followed. This was con- ceded to be the most animated meeting tlie society has had in many months and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. At the March meeting an essay will be read on * ' Outdoor Roses. ' ' D.

How large a flow pipe would be re- quired to heat 60,000 feet of glass to 56 degrees, in zero weather, with ten pounds pressure on the boilers? The extreme length of the main flow would be 250 feet. I intend to use a steam trap, thus doing awaj"^ with any back pressure on returns. A. R. A 6-inch main flow pipe should be suf- ficient to provide heat for the 8,600 square feet of radiating surface which will be required for 60,000 feet of glass. It will be much more satisfactory to you to state the dimensions of the houses rather than to state the glass area. Glass area is only one factor in a heat- ing problem; therefore, the above an- swer is not as reliable as it could be made if dimensions of the houses had been stated. L. C. C. PIPE REQUIRED. How many feet of liA-inch, 2-inch or 3-inch pipe would I need in a house 22x 66? The south wall has three feet of glass and the north wall five feet. I wish to maintain a temperature of 58 degrees when it is 40 degrees below zero outdoors. I have a Wilks self-feeding heater 30x48 inches. Can I put a new base under this boiler with a Martin rocking grate and have boiler capacity enough to heat this house and a 5-room dwelling house added ? P. J. K. To heat the house in question with hot water at 180 degrees with l^^-inch pipe would require 1,260 feet of pipe, with 2-inch pipe w'ould require 1,008 feet and with 3 -inch pipe would require 630 feet. The grate question is one which can only be settled by the makers of the boiler. L. C. C. TROUBLE WITH HEATING. I have six east and west houses, each 20x100, and a north and south house on the west end of the range. My boil- ers are located at the middle of the west side. I have the overhead hot water sys- tem, using two Kroeschell boilers, a No. 9 and a No. 5. These boilers are con- ifaf— 4^(vt\V^jX». IMP&OVBD Greenhouse Boiler.

Just in- side each house a tee reduces each flow to 2-inch. These pipes drop under the benches, where they connect with 4-inch returns, so that there are three flows to six returns in each house. The returns are connected to a 5-inch main return by 2-inch pipe. I want to maintain a temperature of 60 degrees in Illinois climate, but have not been able to do so. If more radia- tion is necessary, could l^^-inch or 2-inch pipe be used? Would it improve mat- ters to have one feeder for each house? How high should the expansion tank be? C. L. E.

If a single 4-inch pipe could be carried from the boiler direct to the house to be heated and there divide to supply the three risers in the house, I think greater efficiency w^ould result. The flow is cer- tainly greatly impeded by reducing to two inches, which should be avoided if possible. The common riser is not alto- gether desirable on a hot water i system.

Unless you have reinforced boilers it will not be advisable to elevate the expansion tank more than twelve or fifteen feet. L. C. C. PIPE FOR THREE HOUSES. How many feet of 2%-inch pipe will be necessary, in Missouri climate, to heat three east and west houses, connected, 15x100, seven feet to gutters, and eleven feet to the ridges? Hot water will be used, with a 4-inch flow in each house. The western gables are of glass and the south wall has three feet of glass. The houses will be used for carnations. Solid benches will be used, with one raised bench on the south side to accommodate return flows under it. The boiler-pit will be six feet below the surface. The houses slope eighteen inches toward the boiler-pit. W. B. O. In order to maintain a temperature of 60 degrees in the houses in question, you should install twenty-one 21/2-incb pipes in addition to the three 4-inch flow pipes you propose to use. If it would be any economy to use 2y2-inch flows instead of 4-inch, three 2 V. -inch risers direct from the boiler will do the work just as well as the 4-inch pipes, provided the piping is properly installed. ^' ^' ^- SAVE YOUR SPUT CARNATIONS The Baur Clip and Plier VISIBLE I I trade; INVISIBLE will do it in a business-like manner at a minimum of " MARK time and ex- pense.

What size will I have to use to get 60 degrees temper- ature with the mercury 5 degrees below zero? I will have to put the boiler under the potting-bench in one end of the greenhouse, and can put it as low as necessary. I will burn gas. The greenhouse is 23x68 and fifteen feet to the ridge. The side walls are of boards, two thicknesses, with tar paper between, and four feet high. The greenhouse connects with the storeroom on one end. I have no cellar. There are three runs around the house, of 2-inch pipe under the side and end benches. Is that enough heating surface? W. M. T. If you desire to use steam you should secure a boiler with a rated capacity for at least 800 square feet of radiation. It should be set deep enough so that the lowest return in the house will be at least eighteen inches above the water line BO] lAght ^ 3x 4x20,. .Sx 5x24.. 3x7 x21.. 6x 6x24.. 4 X 12x24.. 6 X 12 X 24.. 6x 12x30.. 5 X 12 X 36.. 6 X 12x 36.. 6x 15x42.. 6x 15x48..

The first part of the week we had a decided change in the weather. The temperature dropped to 10 degrees above zero and was accom- panied by a cold, damp wind which, un- doubtedly, kept the cut flower buyers at home. Outside of funeral work there was little doing until the latter part of the week, when the cold spell passed over and trade instantly took a brace. There was then a decided demand for bulb stock especially. Carnations were also quite active. One of the dealers pla- carded his windows, offering them at 35 cents per dozen, but none of the other dealers fell in line. The general price was 75 cents and $1 per dozen. It is needless to say that the 35-cent variety was a very inferior lot. The situation in roses has not changed to any extent. We are still getting an ample supply. The quality could be im- proved upon with nearly all of the grow- ers. Valley and violets are as good as we have ever had; the demand is also active. Practically all of the dealers are carrying a small stock of Easter plants, with the exception of Easter lilies. Fine specimen plants of azaleas. Baby Ram- blers and spiraeas are offered, but are slow sale and it is a little too soon to show them to secure orders for Easter. The city inquiry for Easter stock is light, while from the country points a great many have been received. Minneapolis. The Powers Mercantile Co. reports a satisfactory trade for last week, the de- mand Saturday being especially strong for medium priced carnations and roses. It has also turned over a great many tu- lips and daffodils. The Donaldson Co. continues to have a heavy run on about everything in cut flowers. Its prices are the same as asked by the retail florists in general. The few bright days that we have had have brought a little more competition. The Greek candy stores have already started to offer stock at reduced prices, which takes some trade away from the smaller dealers. Amundson & Kirschner show some at- tractive windows of bulb stock and car- nations. Business, they say, has been good. Our wire worker, Mr. Kusik, has gone into the florists' supply line, under the name of Kusik, Gerstmann & Co. The general impression is that there is a good opening here and, if properly conducted, a good trade can be worked up.

The evening of February 25 was dedi- cated to carnations at the Lazy Club, which is the official organization of the horticultural department of Cornell Uni- versity. At the solicitation of W. H, Griffiths, gardener of the department, a number of varieties of carnations were on exhibition. The merits of these were studied and compared by students and visitors. The extraordinary improvement which has taken place in the commercial qualities of this flower in recent years was noted and commented upon. Collections of blooms were received from John E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa., who forwarded an exceedingly instructive and interesting group, largely of his own origination. The F. E. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., showed Winsor, Melody, Helen M. Gould, White Enchantress, Rose-pink Enchantress and Eed Lawson. The in- teresting feature about this exhibit is that Gould, White Enchantress and Rose- pink Enchantress are all sports from the original Enchantress. The F. R. Pierson Co. I'egard these as among the leading commercial varieties which they grow. Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass., showed a fine vase of Beacon. The Cottage Gardens Co., Queens, - L. I., presented the display with a col- lection of some fifteen seedlings, show- ing a great variety of color and form, and illustrating in a general way the pos- sibilities of careful breeding when ap- plied to the carnation. Many of the seedlings were of high merit. The Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, HI., provided a striking vase of that hand- some carnation. Aristocrat. This variety illustrated in splendid fashion the best points of a good commercial flower. For itself, it attracted much attention from visitors. ^ ^, The United States Cut Flower Co., El- mira, N. Y., showed a general collection, prominent among which were Enchant- ress, Red Lawson and White Lawson, as well as the original Lawson, Bountiful, Fred Burki, Vesper and Mrs. M. A. Pat- ten. It is needless to say that the exhibit provided both instruction and inspira- tion to the large group of students who had the privilege of examining and study- ing it. Providence, R.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1233 ..ANNOUNCEMENT.. The King Construction Company, of Nortli Tonawanda, N.Y., and Toronto, Ont«9 in response to numerous inquiries by mail, states that the trussed roof greenhouses which collapsed at Mr. Farenwald's place near Philadelphia were not of the King Construction design or construction. Moreover a number of King houses in the same neighborhood passed through the same weather conditions without any damage whatever. Also the King Construction Company has just received an order for two trussed roof greenhouses, each 500 feet long and 28 feet wide, which are to be built for Mr. Victor Groshens on his place which is only a couple of blocks from Mr. Farenwald's place. Owing to having introduced the trussed method of greenhouse construction and to having been identified with it for so long, the King Construction Company finds it necessary to make this announcement as a matter of self-protection.

PEOPLE who know a good thine when they see it, and will take advantage of the same, must be possessed with good judf^ment and are generally suc- cessful.

There will be no national flower show at Chicago in November, 1908. The ex- ecutive board of the Society of American Florists in session at Philadelphia March 11 and 12 came to the conclusion that the year of the national election would not be a propitious time to try to arouse national interest in flowers and voted down the project in spite of the $7,000 guarantee fund which had been raised. Those present at the Hotel Walton, in addition to the Philadelphians, were: President W. J. Stewart, Boston; Secre- tary P. J. Hauswirth, Chicago ;rthe fol- lowing directors, W. H. Elliott, Brighton, Mass.; Sam Murray, Kansas City; Theo. Wirth, Minneapolis; F. H. Traendly, New York; J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Bos- ton; ex-president W. F. Kasting, Buf- falo; Patrick Welsh, Boston; G. X. Amhryn, New Haven, Conn.; Felix Mense, Glen Cove, N. Y. Instead of a November show a spring exhibition was taken under considera- tion. Sentiment was shown to be strongly in favor of continuing the summer meet- ings of the S. A. F. as in previous years. Horticultural hall was selected for the trade exhibition at the convention at Philadelphia next August and the ftroad street theater for the meetings of the society. David Rust was seldctcSd to be superintendent of the trade exhibition. A program was partially prepared.

The annual convention and exhibition of the American Eose Society is on this week in connection with the spring show of the Florists' Club of Washington, D. C. The exhibition is held in Washington Light Infantry hall and is one of the best ever staged by the society. Much active work has been done during the year, with the result that the premium list contained more special offers of valu- able trophies than ever in the history of the society's many successful exhibi- tions. The quality of the exhibits is of the usual high character, and the rose ex- hibits are supplemented by the spring plants shown for the premiums offered by the local Florists' Club. Altogether it makes an exhibition of which those responsible for its being have reason to be proud. The judges of the exhibition were: P. J. Hauswirth, Chicago; W. F. Kasting, Buffalo, and Eobert Craig, Philadelphia. The plan was to have their work com- pleted at the time the show was opened to the public at 6 p. m. on Wednesday, March 13. The first of the business sessions was called to order Wednesday evening with a large attendance of members, includ- ing both those in the trade and many private gardeners. President Eobert Simpson delivered his address, which will be found in full in this issue. Sec- retary Hammond reported on the suc- cessful year's work. The treasurer's report also was presented. The first of the papers to be read was that of E. G. Hill. The titles of the papers and the essayists are as follows: "The Hybridization of Eoses, the Ideals Before the Worker, and the Means Used to Work Up to Those Ideals," by E. Gurney Hill, Eichmond, Ind. ; "Ever- Blooming Eoses for the Garden: What to Grow and How to Grow Them," by Theodore Wirth, superintendent of parks, Minneapolis, Minn.; "Climbing and Trailing Eoses in the Hardy Eose Gar- den," by M. H. Walsh, Woods Hole, Mass. The invitation to Chicago for 1908 is almost certain to be accepted. Trcastirer's Report. The report of Treasurer Harry O. May showed cash receipts in the year as $1,235.91; disbursements, $911; balance on hand, $324.91. Officers Elected. Officers were elected as follows: President — Eobert Simpson,- Clifton, N. J. .\ .

[Delivered before the annual convention of the American Rose Society, Washington, D. C, March 13, 1907.] We meet today in the capital city of our country as guests of the Washing- ton Florists' Club. Many of us are growers, and I am sure that all of us are lovers of the rose. Some of you have come to Washington to place on exhibi- tion your beautiful flowers, some of you have come chiefly it may be to admire the wonderful productions of others, but a goodly number of you, I trust, are here to discuss with us problems in rose grow- ing and problems that confront our rose society. In any event I am sure that no one will say that mercenary motives have drawn you, some from the east, some from the west, some from the south, and others from the north, at consider- able expense of time and money at this busy season of the year to attend this meeting; it is to gratify your love for the beautiful in nature, and to signify your willingness to do your part towards making this earth more beautiful and attractive that you are here today. I trust that our meeting may be help- ful and encouraging to every grower of the rose, that we all as a result may have higher ideals, and go home more than ever in love with our business and call- ing and that this shall prove to be an epoch-making meeting of the rose society. Preparations for the Meeting;. At the 1906 meeting in Boston, the matter of selecting the place in which JA^..il-^-.J.._- >wt.^-<^-_-.. . . -^jf. ., 1240 The Weekly Florists* Review. March 14, 1907. to hold the exhibition and annual meet- ing of 1907 was left in the hands of the executive committee, after a discus- sion, however, which showed plainly that the sentiment of the meeting was in favor of going to some city in the west, should the way be open for us, and should such a course seem to be for the best interests of the society. The ex- ecutive committee left the mattes open until July, thus giving every section of the country an equal chance to compete for the privilege of having the rose ex- hibition. The society did not receive any invi- tation from the west; but it did have a very hearty and pressing invitation from tho Washington Florists' Club, which sent its president to New York to back up its formal written invitation. The president, Mr. Bisset, assured us that "Washington and its people would see that the local detail work of the ex- hibition was taken care of properly and that an exhibition there would be a suc- cess financially. Whether they have kept their promise you will see for yourselves; There is a great amount of detail work to be done in arranging for an exhibition of this kind, particularly when it is not held in connection with some regularly organized horticultural society where men have been trained for the work, and where all the facilities for the holding of exhibitions are at hand; more, per- haps, than many of you realize; and I wish at this time to express my appre- ciation of the hearty enthusiasm with which the ofl5cers and local members of the executive committee have entered into this work, and have done willingly and gladly, whatever was in their power to do. Several meetings have been held in the city of New York, and some of the oflBcers have not failed to attend a single meeting. If the exhibition of 1907 shall prove to be equal in point of interest and enthusiasm to that of 1906 much of the credit is due to the push and energy and painstaking work of our secretary and the enthusiasm of our young treasurer. The position of secretary of the Amer- ican Pcae Society is no sinecure I assure you if the incumbent tries to do faith- fully the work that he finds to do, and just in proportion to the quality of the man in office will depend how much of the work shall be done, or how much shall be left undone. For good work the salary is totally inadequate, but in the present state of our treasury I dare not ask for an increase. The work of our present secretary during the last nine months will meet with your entire ap- proval, I am sure. PUn and Scope of Meeting. As the program for this meeting indi- cates, we have arranged for the reading of papers on interesting subjects by men eminently qualified to talk on the sub- jects treated, and I trust we may give to them our undivided attention during the delivery of the same, and in the dis- cussions that shall follow we may be able to give out and gather in a vast store of useful information. The society is to be congratulated on the personnel of its es- sayists. It has been arranged that gentlemen of large experience and observation shall start discussions on matters of vital in- terest to the society; that of increased membership, and new work that may be done by the society as an organization for its members and the public. I do not wish to anticipate or forestall what Robert Simpson. these gentleman may advise, as I hope for a very full discussion when, in the order of business, these subjects are taken up; however, in this connection I may be permitted, perhaps, to make a few observations, and possibly offer a few suggestions. Suggestions for Enlargement. Much good work might be done by the society if we had at command funds with which to do the work; much work should be done that has as yet not been even attempted. For instance, a committee of half a dozen men, representing different sections of the country and competient to deal with the peculiar climatic and other conditions of that particular section, might, in conjunction with the secretary, prepare a list of roses with general cul- tural directions, suitable to the condi- tions prevailing in those various sections, that would be worth much more to rose lovers than the annual membership fee. This committee could also advise as to the best roses to purchase, Dutch, French, English, home-grown budded, or own root plants, department store stock, or stock direct from nursery. There is a vast amount of ignorance among the general public along these lines, and their ignorance is frequently taken advantage of by unscrupulous dealers. What the society can offer its pros- pective members as an inducement to membership will no doubt be a controll- ing factor in seeking to enlarge that membership; on the other hand, larger resources, as a result of larger member- ship, will permit the society to under- take greater things. If the American Rose Society should identify itself with the various horticul- tural societies of the country to the ex- tent of offering its silver medal once a year for collections of cut roses, roses in pots, etc., to be judged according to the scale of the Rose Society, it would add much interest to the exhibitions and our society would gather strength ana prestige thereby. If the financial resources of the so- ciety were adequate, I would favor the holding of an exhibition in June, as well as March, so that the rose-loving public could see and become acquainted with the beautiful outdoor roses that we oannot place before them in March, such as Frau Karl Druschki, Baroness Rothschild, Mrs. John Laing, etc. The June exhibi- tion would be more popular, more inter- esting and do more to educate the masses in rose culture than it is possible to do with an exhibition of indoor roses in March. If the catalogue men of the country — we have some of the gentlemen here to- day— could be induced to give a page of their catalogues each year to a statement of the aims and purposes of the Rose Society and advocate membership in it to their customers, great possibilities would immediately loom up before the society. It is reasonable to suppose that our membership could be multiplied several times within a year if all present would resolve to make a point to interest their IffmH-V'-V ■'-' li'T^ - ^"^''^Wlf "W I*f7^ '••KWi^TT ^"T* «:'^^ Fi w"U!'.^"( • 'i~<»'"r '/ri''.vyT ■ Mabch 14, 1907.

The society offers gold and silver medals at its exhibitions for new varie- ties, the object in offering these being to encourage the production of novelties of sterling merit; but in ruling that a nov- elty must score at least ninety-five points to win the gold medal we practically make it impossible to win it at all. Very few judges would be willing to say that a flower was perfect in form, in color, in fragrance or distinctiveness or, in fact, in any one particular, yet a variety with as many good points as Liberty or Killarney or Eichmond should have a chance to win the gold medal of the society. . We should of course main- tain a high standard in the giving of such awards, but we should at the same time avoid exacting impossible condi> tions. I ask you to consider whether gr not the rule governing the judging of novel- ties needs to be revised. The Permanent Fund. At the 1906 meeting you will remem- ber that much time was taken up dis- cussing the desirability and practicabil- ity of establishing a permanent fund, of considerable size, for the uses of the society j all agreed that it was desirable, but the meeting could not agree on any particular plan of action. We have to- day in America many men, so enriched with this world's goods, that their chief concern in life is to find the best way to spend this vast accumulation of wealth that it may accomplish the great- est amount of good for the largest num- ber of people. Art, education, science, religion, hu- manitarianism, have each received their millions to aid in prosecuting the work of blessing mankind along their particu- lar lines. It is a good thing to pay out $100,000 for a fine painting and present it to a museum of art, where it can be seen and admired and furnish inspiration to thousands of people. It is noble to endow our institutions of learning so that our youth may have the privileges of higher education. It is still better to provide the means for caring for the sick, the suffering, the aged and the homeless; but it is a question if, in es- tablishing a fund of ample proportions out of which this society might dis- seminate information and furnish the in- spiration which would result in the beau- tifying of hundreds of thousands of homes all over our land, and bringing joy and brightness into the hearts and lives of still larger numbers of our peo- ple, the man of means would not be choosing the very best way, from an artistic, educational, humanitarian or sociological point of view, of investing the wealth which a kind Providence has placed in his hands and made him the steward and custodian. I am suffi- ciently optimistic to think that if a com- mittee composed of the right men should take hold of this matter and present it properly to men of large means and philanthropic tendencies, that a fund could be established, permanent in char- acter, the income of which only could be used by the society. Gentlemen, it rests with you to take such action on this and other matters as E. Gumey Hill. your combined wisdom may consider best. I trust your stay in the city of Wash- ington may be both pleasant and profit- able. ORDER AND CLEANLINESS. Having recently had occasion to visit a number of greenhouse establishments, the writer has been impressed with the fact that the order and cleanliness which obtain in greenhouses are almost al- ways in direct proportion to the pros- perity of the establishment. It does not follow that the cleanliness is the result of prosperity, but that prosperity is the result of cleanliness. When a man keeps his greenhouse clean and neat he also keeps the stock grow- ing in it in the same condition. The result is that it is better stock than is grown in a disorderly establii^hment. It sells quicker and it brings a better price. You would not look for fine plants in a slovenly establishment. It is an old say- ing that the clothes make the man. By the same token, order makes the success- ful business man. They say that cleanliness is next to godliness. There certainly is no other way in which we may so easily approach godliness. It costs little to be clean. It takes only a moment to throw the rub- bish where it belongs, instead of under the benches. Five minutes once a week will rake the gravel or ashes beneath the bench and habit quickly will cause a careful man to keep his pot plants straightly aligned. Geand Rapids, Mich. — The Florists' Club is going ahead with preparations for a flower show this fall. THE ROSE GROWER'S IDEAL. [A paper by E. G. Hill, of Ulchmond, Ind.. read before the annual convention of the Amer- ican Rose Society at Washington, D. C, March 13, 1907.] Your president and executive commit- tee have suggested as a subject for my paper, * * The Advisability of Having an Ideal in Mind when Attempcing to Eaise New and Improved Varieties of Roses. ' ' It would have been better if you had selected some one to prepare this paper who has had a broader and more ex- tended experience bearing upon this par- ticular line of work than myself. It is a subject full of interest, of mystery and of elusive leadings, and of which I am free to confess I have little exact knowledge. The more I have tried to inquire into the laws governing cross fertilization, the more surprised I have been at the very little tangible knowl- edge possessed by plant growers, for it would seem that after generations of attempts at crossing we should find much more accurate information at hand, and, at least, a few formulas which might be followed with some certfiinty. These, however, are not yet at hand, but that is no occasion for discourage- ment, for of one thing I am convinced, there are underlying laws which guide to certain results, and while at present we are only groping toward them in the dark, patient persistence will finally give us our working theorem which will prevent the present waste of utterly haphazard effort, and reduce it to a science and an art at least approaching the exact. Nature does finally reward the painstaking investigator and she does reveal enough concerning her manners '^■^L^t^'fi^JJiAl^:. ■^^T^' (V^'* »7~'^r' T^'Xr* rrr* r- — T^^^f^T^j^ 1242 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Mabch 14, 1907. and methods to give incentive to those who would know her better. Have an Ideal. I should say, by all means have an ideal in mind when attempting the pro- duction of a new variety of rose through the medium of cross-fertilization; ii; fact, the ideal is persistently forced upon the working florist by the very short- comings of his everyday favorites. The amateur may please his fancy and de- light himself with the odd and curious results of haphazard work, and there is much pure pleasure to be derived from it; bpt the florist, with all his love and reverence for the beautiful in nature, has a sterner purpose in view. The rose has descended to commercialism; the rose grower must raise it to a pinnacle of perfection, where it can dominate its special line of commerce, without apol- ogy for any weakness. And it must be confessed at the present time that the usefulness and the profit of nearly every variety of commercial rose is greatly impaired by some serious drawback to its reliability. To eradicate Hhese faults in thJB parent is impossible ; ' to produce a seedling that shall retain the good points of the parent with the weakness varieties, and only after a good lapse of time hiave results been forthcoming. The purpose in view was first to secure a \igorous constitution in the progeny; that must always be first. Seedlings showing exceptional vigor have again been bred with. Liberty, Richmond, American Beauty, ••Quffen of Edgely and several of the best "♦hybrid perpetuals. My aim has been in this particular line of work to secure a red rose that would flower freely under glass in winter. Fur- thering this idea of improving the red varieties, pollen was taken from Amer- ican Beauty and ovetv 300 crosses were successfully made laSt year, 1906, and these latest seedlings *are now nice little plants growing vigorously in their lit- tle pots. My hope in thus using Amer- ican Beauty pollen is to secure, if pos- sible, a long-stemmed, free-blooming win- ter-forcing variety. A previous effort in this line has given us a rose superior in color and size to American Beauty, with the additional advantage of produc- ing flowers as freely as Richmond or Bridesmaid. - *< . Quite a separate line of crossing has been to improve upon the size of Rosa- lind Orr English while retaining its gen- eral color scheme.

This, then, forms an ideal; definiteness of purpose in any line of activity is es- sential to results, and quite as important : 1 the ideal is the working plan which must be formulated to attain the end in view. Examples of an Ideal. Some years ago I began working on red roses, hoping to secure something better than Meteor, Teplitz and Litta, all fine in their way, though stubborn material in the hands of the rose forcer. My initial work was begun with these . hundreds of crosses were made with pollen taken from Richmond, Queen of , Edgely, American Beauty and Paul Ney- ron during the season of 1905. The progeny from these have mostly flpw- eied, with a result that some thirty have been retained for a second year's trial. Two out of the thirty selected are of unusual promise. One of these is American Beauty x Rosalind Orr English and is specially notable for its stiff, long stem and large size. The other cross is Richmond x Rosalind Orr English, which is intermediate in color between its two parents, with the additional merit of possessing double the number of petals that either of its parents possess. The above two instances are cited to show concentrated effort on a given line in a multiplicity of crosses. I give the above in detail to illustrate my conviction of having an ideal in mind when working for a given end. Perhaps some day we will find a means to the end desired by simply making one direct cross. I do not know to a certainty, yet I believe that Joseph Pernet, of Lyons^ has followed out a similar certain line in his raising of new varieties. I judge this by the similarity in growth, foliage and the general build of the flowers in his originations. Take Pres. Carnot and Antoine Rivoire; note their general char- acteristics and I think it is easy to de- tect a similarity of lineage running on down through his Madam Rivary, Le Progress, Joseph Hill, Mme. Jenny Gille- mot, Mme. Philip Rivoire, Mme. Melanie Soupert and Baronne de Sinety, and three of his very latest introductions, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Mme. de Luze and Renee Wilmart Urban show the same general characteristics. It would be in- teresting to know if M. Pernet had been following out Mendel's theory in his breeding of roses. Not all his produc- tions are allied to the varieties men- tioned above, for his Etoile de France, Marquise Litta, Soliel d'Or and Laurent Carle are quite distinct from the type cited above. Transmission of Visor. If the law of interbreeding be cor- rect, gathering in only pollen from closely related varieties, then the law of heredity as applied to the animal king- dom would not hold good in the vege- table family. My suggestion would be to follow both lines of work, interbreed- ing and promiscuous breeding, if I may thus put it, but always have in mind the design of a given improvement. Of laje my one thought has been to select the most vigorous grower for the mother plant, for without health, vigor and a good constitution the Anest new rose is a failure. I am thoroughly con- vinced by observation and experience that the mother plant has the most to do in giving health, vitality and consti- tution to the offspring. This being the case, we can see at a glance how impor- tant it is to select only the very strong- est among the everblooming varieties to serve as the female parent. We should select the pollen from those varieties which have pronounced qualities in the way of color, stem, length of bud and fragrance. If these qualities are present in the male you may hope that they will have an influence upon your crosses. With the increased vigor possessed by many of the later productions in tea and hybrid tea roses, such as Betty, Phari- saer, Killarney, Kate Moulton, and others of like vigor, it need not be many years before a race bred from such parents will give greatly increased vigor over present existing varieties, and with this increased strength of growth great good will come to the grower. The infusion of hybrid perpetual blood will also have a marked tendency to in- crease the vigor and growth of seedling roses, and, by using the everbloomers for the seed bearer, freedom of bloom will in large measure be preserved. It ought not to be many years until the present non-flowering hybrid perpetual roses are superseded by a race equally as virile but which will give continuous March 14, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review. 1243 that will grow and bloom as do most of the present standard varieties in Eng- land, on the Pacific coast and in many of our southern states; but here in the north only a pitifully small number can be depended upon. And right here is a wide field for the hybridist to enter. A good, reliable, everblooming garden rose will give pleasure and delight to mil- lions of American citizens. It is to be hoped that many rose lovers may enter this sadly neglected field. My ideas on this line of the subject were given in a paper read before the S. A. F. at its annual meeting at St. Louis, 1905. This line of work might have received a fine stimulus if the trustees of the Carnegie fund had been empowered to set aside certain funds to be awarded for meritorious new garden roses. The field is not inviting to one who must earn a maintenance, but if a prize or a money consideration could be offered of suflScient size it would stimulate ef- forts in this direction. EASTER STOCK. Primulas in a Birchbark Pan. bloom. If we get vigor of growth with certainty of bud, flowers on the ends of long straight stems, that will be the type that shall give us larger and finer flowers for our winter forcing as well as better varieties for our gardens. I know that you will say that predic- tions of this sort are easy to make; but kindly indulge me a little; let us use any means to impress upon the minds of those just taking up this work that con- stitution is the foundation upon which all effort must proceed. Skilled Workmen at Work. A great number of skilled and prac- ticed workmen are enthusiastically bend- ing their best energies toward improving the rose and we are surely making a steady advance in the right direction under such men as the Dicksons, the Pauls, the Souperts, Pernet and others in France, and Peter Lambert and his colleagues in Germany, together with CJook, Walsh and others in this country; we have a right to expect even better results than have yet been obtained. Even with the combined efforts put forth by the rosarians in this *id other countries, progress will a,ppear slow to the impatient workers in our ranks; trifling advance will be noted, but better types and varieties will surely gladden our eyes and hearts, for nature has been kind in the past, both in bud-variation and by cross-fertilization and the com- ing years will be no less fruitful than the past. We shall improve upon Mal- niaison, Marechal Niel, Catherine Mer- met, Bride, Perle des Jardins, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, American Beauty, Frau Karl Druschki, Liberty and the two Cochets, or, at least, she will reward us with varieties more readily amenable to our twentieth century requirements, which are stringent in the extreme. By all means let us study Mendel and his theory, note the deductions of De Vries, and gather all the information possible from whatever source it can be had, remembering that nature's working theorems are to be discovered only by the painstaking application of the knowl- edge at hand, and that no amount of speculative theory will take the place of intelligent persistent experiment person- ally conducted. Let no one think for a moment that good results may not be obtained by the simple direct crossing of two varieties of roses, for such is quite possible with- out interbreeding. Eichmond was ob- tained by using pollen from Liberty upon Lady Battersea, but it was the one valuable result out of a very large num- ber of the same cross, so that we may say there is a chance of a good return, though it is not probable from this pro- cedure. I have carefully avoided the use of any scientific or technical terms and have only tried to embody in this very imper- fect paper my own ideas and to chron- icle the results of my own observations. The Need in Northern States. Our gardens are sadly in need of roses It is time every retail florist was look- ing to his stock for Easter. If it is not already under way in the greenhouses, it should be oVdered of the wholesaler. And if you have stock provided, have you all the necessary accessories? A large part of the sales will be growing plants and nowadays no plant is salable unless properly dressed with the many accessories provided by the supply houses. In a great majority of the stores there is only a limited sale for the large and expensive plants and for the staple items of the average store only the less costly accessories are needed — but they are no less necessary because inexpensive, and adequate supplies should be on hand for a record trade. Unless all signs fail this is to be a banner Eastet. It is the purpose of the Review to show in this and the following issue the plant ar- rangements which sold well last Easter, not so much that they may be copied as to offer suggestions to the thoughtful store man as to how the stock may be varied. Variety is not only the spice of life, but in a flower store it is the sauce which does as much as novelty to retain the interest of the public. Birch bark ware is one of the best Pan of Lily of the Valley Dressed in G-epe Paper, -.(Tfw^. T~»7 v."' 'T^^T^^v^ 1^ .:7;;;7i 1244 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Mabch 14, 1007. sellers at Easter. You can fill all sorts of bark receptacles with all sorts of plants and make a pleasing combination in every case, but don't overdo the birch- bark feature. Provide styles, sizes, colors and kinds of boxes, baskets, hampers, etc. The twig basket is no longer a nov- elty, but it is a good seller. If you have not provided these things, lose no time in sending an order to your supply house. If you don't know just what you want, leave the selection to the house, simply indicating how many pieces you want, the amount you want to invest, or the price per piece you want to pay. Of course you want a few big pieces, but most of them should fit an average purse among your customers. It is the same with pot covers, crepe papers and the staples, but mats, etc., should be on hand to add variety. Rib- bons, too, are necessary in large assort- ment of styles and colors. Order now what you will need. TROUBLE WITH SWEET PEAS. Will you tell me what is the matter with the branch and leaf of the sweet pea enclosed? You will notice the double branch is grown from the same stalk below and I cannot understand why one branch is grown from the same stalk as healthy as it can be. It is the same with the leaf I am enclosing. Occa- sionally through the house there is a whole stalk affected this way, while the ones all around are healthy. The sweet peas are growing in some old fern soil with some horse manure mixed into it. Most of the plants are now looking fine with the exception of a few that are affected as you can see by the enclosed leaves. The house was run for a while at 60 degrees at night and 70 degrees during the day. Now it is run 44 de- grees to 50 degrees at night and 60 degrees days. Do you think the disease is caused by having run the house too warm, or by ammonia rising from the horse manure in the soil, or do you think it is an insect invisible to the naked eyef J* -A-. J. Undoubtedly the high temperature maintained during the early stages of growth must have been harmful to the sweet peas, which naturally love a cool and moist atmosphere. The temperature you are now keeping is much more to the liking of the plants. We do not think the soil can have been of the best nature. Old fern soil, even when mixed with manure, is hardly what we would want to plant sweet peas in for best results. They like a good loam in which a liberal supply of well decomposed cow manure has been incorporated. If you used horse manure and it was rather new, some ammonia would undoubtedly arise, but nothing but thoroughly de- cayed manure should be used in the soil for any crops. It is difficult to tell what has caused the dying of the shoots. It may have been partially due to the causes you have suggested, or again, the trouble may be the work of minute bacteria which work inside the stems and no spraying solution can reach them. Cut- ting off or pulling up and burning af- fected stems is 5l that can be done to mitigate the evil. C W. CAMPANULAS. Campanulas, which are also known as bluebells, harebells and Canterbury bells, are among the most beautiful of our hardy flowers. Some of the dwarf spe- cies are not over six inches high, while the tallest reach five feet and over. There are many species in cultivation, of which the following six, according to the Na- tional Council of Horticulture, are most deserving of mention: Campanula persicifolia in the northern states is an almost continuous bloomer, is a perennial, will grow in any soil, and is, perhaps, the most beautiful species cultivated. The type has blue flowers, but there is a white variety. . There is a semi-double variety which is beautiful, growing two to two and one-half feet high, and is best adapted to a hardy bor- der or old-fashioned garden. It should be planted in irregular masses, mixing colors. Campanula Medium, the common Can- terbury bells, is the showiest species. When in bloom it is often such a solid mass of flowers that no leaves can be seen. It varies from darkest to lightest blue, pink and white. It is biennial and will die immediately after the seeds have ripened. There is a distinct variety called cup and saucer, and several that are decidedly double. The young plants should be set out not later than June. Campanula Carpatica is the prettiest of the dwarf species. It is perennial, of easy culture, producing flowers in great abundance the second year from seed. Campanula turbinata is another dwarf species suited for open rockeries or small borders. For rockeries, Campanula ro- tundifolia, the English harebell, is best. One of the tallest varieties is Campanula pyramidalis, which sometimes reaches five feet. Its numerous spikes are covered with blue and white flowers. Springfield, Mo. — The Summerfield Floral Co. has placed in its store win- dow a glass aquarium twelve feet long and stocked it with goldfish. Among them are some fine American and Jap- anese fantails, and it serves to keep a crowd in front of the window all day. y^^^^'^^n.^^^i^ '♦^F».<^^^^»?^<#-f>. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS ^ide^iie^'^'n.'Uems^^em>''U>^^<^'n<-%*--m>>-Uf^'*irm^-U^\-%d^^'^!^'*dfm^i:^'^^ Salvia Splendens. That brilliant and ever popular fiow- ering plant. Salvia splendens, grows very rapidly, either from cuttings or seed, and a mistake is often made by start- ing it too early, with the result that the plants become too tall and, if in pots, so matted with roots that they never sufficiently recover from it. Where stock plants have been carried over they should now be producing an adundance of cuttings, which should be placed in sand at once. Keep the cuttings shaded, well watered daily and they will soon root. We consider seedlings, however, preferable to plants raised from cut- tings, as they possess vigor. Seedlings should be transferred to flats or be potted off as soon as they produce a second pair of leaves. They grow very fast and even if seed is not sown be- fore April 1, excellent plants will be pro- duced. Sweet Peas, It may seem a little out of place to discuss the sowing of sweet peas in the open when the snow lies deep and frost is two or three feet in the ground, as it still does in some sections, but we can- not tell how soon a change may come. It arrives with cyclonic force sometimes. Sweet peas are annuals which love a cool, moist climate and the outdoor crop should be gotten in as soon as the frost leaves the ground and it is sufficiently dry to work. Points to remember in sweet pea culture are: Liberal enrich- ment of the soil. Burying the seeds at least three inches deep, being careful not to sow thickly, and if you have done so, thin in good season. Give them brush and other supports before they start to climb. Eemove all seed-pOds as soon as formed. Water, if possible, during dry weather and mulch the plants to assist in keeping them cool and moist at the roots. A few good varieties of sweet peas are: Dorothy Eckford, white; Hon. .Mrs. Kenyon, primrose; King Edward VII., scarlet; Lady Grisel Hamilton, lavender; Prince of Wales, rose; Miss Wilmott and Helen Lewis, orange; Gladys Unwin, pink; America, varie- gated; Black Knight, maroon. For early flowers sow some of Earliest of All and Mont Blanc. Poinsettias. Stock plants of poinsettias will have been resting under the benches for the last ten weeks. While there is no imme- diate hurry about starting them, if you desire to bench some of the rooted cut- tings and desire long, strong stems, they should be overhauled some time during the present month. Shake the soil away from the roots, cut the tops back well and place in as small a pot as the roots can be comfortably squeezed in. Place on a sunny bench over steam or hot water pipes, give a good soaking of water and then keep rather on the dry side until the plants start to break. Cut- tings rubbed off with a heel, or cut below a joint, root readily in bottom heat, care of course being taken to allow no sun to strike them and to water well daily. Sand of a moderately coarse nature from which water passes away at once is preferable to the finer sort, which is more liable to scum over. As soon as roots are an inch long, pot up. Care must be taken not to break the roots and it is a great mistake to allow them to make long roots before removing them from the cutting bench. It always re- sults in a loss of foliage. Smilax. Seedlings of smilax are much more profitable for planting than are divided roots. If seed was sown last month the little plants will now be ready for 2%- inch pots. A further shift, may be given them about the end of Apnl, and in these latter pots they can remain until '■V'*'*f^^f¥'^irf-~t !f^-^ ^^^r^-% f-' «"™' ' .I!I»p^'r•7■.YH-'■■^^J~^^.•7-f^"I^// Mabch 14, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1245 they can be set out in the beds during June or July. They should have not less than six inches of good soil and if liberally treated will yield several crops of strings during the season. A top- dressing of well-rotted manure and occa- sional soakings of liquid stimulants will materially improve them. Eed spider disfigures the foliage if not kept well syringed, especially where the plants are near the heating pipes. The demand for smilax is not what it used to be before the advent of Asparagus plumo- sus, but we find a bench of it always pays well. Variegated Viocas. For vases, veranda or window-boxes Vinca variegata is indispensable. If you want a good supply of strong plants for another year it is not yet too late to put in a good batch of cuttings. Rub these off with heels from the base of the plants and they will soon root in sand. Do not cut the tops from the long, trailing shoots. They are slower and more uncertain of propagation. Pot off the little cuttings when nicely rooted and plant out in the open ground. Cul- tivate well all summer and by fall you will have fine stock which you can squeeze into 4-inch pots and stand in single rows along the edges of your cool house benches. This will make the finest possible material for use the fol- lowing bedding season. There never seems to be any surplus of this pretty and most useful plant and if you chance to grow more than you need yourself you will always find it easy to dispose of. Vincas need a cool house and, be- ing hardy, an occasional freezing does not harm them. Fall cuttings, taken about the last of September, will make nice plants for use the following May. Lorraine Begoaiis, If you are in the habit of raising your own stock of this most useful of all begonias you will now be able to se- cure some nice base cuttings from old, cut-back plants which have been rested a little but kept lightly syringed. These cuttings, as soon as two inches long, should be taken off with a sharp knife and inserted in clean, sharp sand, where they can have a bottom heat of 70 de- grees to 75 degrees and a top heat of 60 degrees to 65 degrees. Use care in watering and nearly all will root. If leaf cuttings were used and put in sand some six weeks ago they will now be rooted nicely and young growths will be making their appearance. Pot them up in light, sandy compost and keep a little on the dry side until the roots are running around the sides of the pots. Some growers propagate the shoots coming from these leaf cuttings and con- sider that so treated they make better plants. Our experience has been that plants from leaf cuttings are more ro- bust, make larger leaves and have larger flowers than those raised from cuttings, but flowers are more loosely scattered on the plant. This is rather an advan- tage, however, as Lorraines really carry too many flowers in proportion to the foliage they carry. Preparations for Easter. The early buds on many of the lilies will now be showing white. These can now safely be given a cooler house and will be out in good season. While the principal call for lilies is for single stalks in pots, made up plants carrying three to five each make very handsome specimens and always sell well. It is possible now to make up these plants by selecting those which will flower to- gether. No compunction need be used about shaking away or chopping off some of the balls to make them fit into the new receptacles. They will flower just as well if kept well watered. Prob- ably you have noticed how stalks cut off containing only buds open out finely in water. The same applies to the made- up plants. Tulips and narcissi which are usually grown in flats can be taken out and placed in pans now. They will open just as well and last as long as if grown in them. Do not attempt this unless the plants are short and stocky and do it just before the flowers open. Hya- cinths can be treated in the same way. It is inadvisable to pull apart the very vigorous narcissi, like Emperor, Sir Watkin and Horsfieldii, in this way, but Golden Spur we find stands it well. Pansies and double daisies sold well in little baskets last Easter. If you have these in a cold house and they are coming into flower make up some pans or baskets of them. English primroses are also salable if treated in the same way. Many customers prefer these little harbingers of spring to the larger and more showy plants associated with Eas- ter. Flowering shrubs, such as lilac, deut- zias, cherries, double plums, etc., should now be coming into flower and ought to be opened in a cooler house. Wistarias also need similar treatment. Do not allow the latter to become too fully ex- panded. Rambler roses, hydrangeas, spirseas and in fact all flowering stock will now be matted with roots and copious sup- plies of water are necessary to keep them in good condition. A little care- lessness now may mean a heavy pe- cuniary loss. What a treasure a man is who is a really careful hand at water- ing. He who does not skip a few plants on a bench every time he waters it is the exception, not the rule. Nothing so stamps the successful grower as one who knows how to use the hose ai watering pot. CARNATION NOTES.— VEST. Forcing an Easter Crop. Two weeks after you get these notes you will be in the thick of the Easter rush, the biggest day of the year for the trade. No doubt you are trying even now to estimate what your cut of blooms will be for that week and wondering whether you will be able to deliver as many as you may have already prom- ised. If you could count on bright weather you could make a close esti- mate, but when you have to run the risk of a bad week it becomes an uncertain proposition, and here is where trouble commences. You accept orders for as many blooms as you cut during the heaviest weeks, and when the sun refuses to show itself, and the blooms fail to materialize, you shove on the heat to force them out. Consequently you weaken your plants so much that for some weeks your cut will be away below its usual quality. The danger at this time of the year is not so great as it is at Christmas and with a little foresight the plants can be forced to give a few extra blooms without danger, but be reasonable. The sun is stronger now aijd more ventila- tion can be given, thus causing the plants to grow stronger and to build up and overcome the effects of a slight strain quicker than in midwinter. By starting the temperature upward a week before you deliver tlie blooms and raising the temperature a degree each night until you have raised 6 degrees, and after you are through cutting drop again in the same manner, you can make it comparatively easy for the plants. But under no conditions should you jump the temperature all at one time, or drop it, especially if the weather is bad. Do not raise it more than f de- grees. That is enough to push out as many blooms as will be forced out with- out injury to the plants. Remember that the time of gluts and oversupply is not far away. During those times only the best of stock is wanted and you cannot afford to do anything now that will lower your quality at that time. Next week I will tell you what may safely be done in the matter of storing up your cut to provide a holiday supply. A. F. J. BAint. EXPERIENCE VITH CARNATIONS. [A paper by A. J. Stalielln. of Redford. Mlfh.. rond before the Detroit Florists' Club, March 6. 1907.] With my short and limited experience in carnation growing I do not feel that I am competent to write anything new or of instructive value to our carnation growers, especially when our trade papers are continually printing all the information that any one possibly could desire. Nevertheless, what little expe- rience I have had I will only be too glad to give. Getting; a Start. In the spring of 1903 I concluded that every young man at the age of 25 should decide what his future vocation should be — then get busy at it. Especially did I think this time of myself, so I at once secured a position with the Chicago Car- nation Co., Joliet, 111., one of the largest and most up-to-date carnation growing establishments in this country, where many important ideas in greenhouse con- struction, as well as carnation growing, were easily picked up. In the fall of 190.*? I returned home, built one evonspan house .30x200, with gutters six feet high and raised benches, installing a Superior hot water boiler. ^..^■■-.^V ■ ■.>■— ^. ..^—1- ^ .L - . x^. ig.lJii i - --- ^'Ifiiaai' -i.-... ■V" » -""-^ 1246 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Mabch 14, 1907. It was altogether much the same as many houses seen at Chicago. The first year lettuce was grown and also young carnation stock for the fol- lowing year, which was the season of 1904-1905, when the carnation market was glutted almost continually, causing profits to be almost unknown. The fol- lowing year another house was added to the old one, with solid beds made with 12-inch boards for sides, filled with soil. This house was planted to carnations be- fore the glass was oc^ with very satis- factory results. The following year, which was 1906, another house was added and planted to mums. My Way of Growing Carnations. To start with, the propagating bench is built of 1x6 tamarack boards with three hot water pipes underneath. After whitewashing the inside of the bench it is filled two inches deep with fine cin- ders, and is then filled with three inches more of coarse, clean sand, leveled and well packed. While this is not the mod- ern style of propagating bench, still I find no fault with it, as it is inexpen- sive, easily constructed and, if properly taken care of, nearly every cutting will be strongly rooted. I try and select cuttings at the stage where there is about one-half inch or a little more of base without any leaves, then cut as small amount as possible off of the base and still leave a nice, smooth surface. If plenty of room is at hand on the propagating bench leave on all the leaves except when it is necessary rooted and of tener when much ventilation is given. The cuttings should never see bright sunlight until well rooted, when they should be planted up as soon as possible. I always have planted in flats, simply because it saves a lot of work and, when plants are planted out in the field, I believe it to be just as good as if pots are used. The advantage of growing young carnations in flats, at least in my soil, which is clay loam, is: First, a saving of a lot of labor potting, repotting and handling; second, they do not suffer from want of water so easily, which is worth while, because in the spring rush they might happen to be neglected; third, about the last of April or first part of May they can be placed outdoors. This outdoor treat- ment with cool nights brings the strength and vigor right into them and they are then in tip-top shape to plant- in the field. In case of a hard frost they are easily covered with a large piece of light cotton, which is enough protection at this time of year. Field Culture. By cutting with a sharp knife, both ways, between the rows of plants, then holding the flat on one side, giving it a sharp downward tap upon a solid block, the plants are loosened and easily taken out in good shape, with all the soil cling- ing to the nice mass of roots which they always have. These plants with roots looking out in every direction, not like pot-bound plants, but ready to take hold of their new quarters, always make fine, H. Thaden Expatiating on His Patent Truss Construction. to remove some of the small lower ones. When a batch is ready, make a cut in the sand with a tool about the width of a table knife and one-sixteenth of an inch thick. The distance apart to stick the cuttings is governed by their size. Three-quarters of an inch apart in the rows and the rows two and one-half inches apart is about right for medium .size cuttings. Spray the cuttings every day until healthy stock. So far I have planted out in the field as early as possible, some- times the last part of April, when we still have hard frosts and find the earliest ones out always make the best plants. They are planted eight inches to nine inches apart and the rows thirty-nine inches apart, so all cultivating can be done with a horse. This should be done as soon as possible after every rain. Topping should be looked after in time, not allowing the plants to produce a lot of buds unnecessarily, which is only a waste of energy on the part of the plants. This also should be done often and not more than two or three shoots on any plant stopped at once. Do- ing this often helps much to have plants in continuous bloom. Indoor Culture. Lifting and planting in the houses should always be accomplished as early as possible. I have always planted in August, but would plant earlier if possi- ble. By keeping the plants well culti- vated they can be taken up at any time, regardless of the weather, although a dry time is best, as then the foliage is rather hard and not easily injured by wilting. I like to leave on a ball of dirt about three inches in diameter, which, when planted, helps to keep them erect and also from wilting badly the first few days. Until the plants begin to send out lit- tle rootlets they should be sprayed once or twice a day, according to the weather ; also keep them well watered after the roots have taken good hold. Watering is only done when needed and then thor- oughly. At first it is necessary to keep the soil wet enough, still not too wet, as the plants have not as yet taken a strong hold, and the soil, not being full of roots, is easily and quickly soured. Thorough cultivation will help much to avoid this and should be done often. As soon as growth commences, the shade on the houses should be removed, plenty of ventilation given and the plants never allowed to suffer for want of water. After the plants are larger and are beginning to bloom, the soil, being full of roots, is kept sweet, so it is not necessary to cultivate so often. Fumigating and syringing should be attended to. Greenfly and red spider must be kept out of sight. Nothing causes so much loss and annoyance as a good crop of these pests. Marketing and Varieties. Every grower has his own way of dis- posing of his stock. So far I have sent the bulk of my stock to the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange, except at a few short periods when I have relieved a glut, to a certain extent at least, by selling on the street; which method by some has been severely ridiculed, and by others upheld, as the only method that will satisfac- torily relieve a glut. I am at present growing Thos. W. Lawson, White Lawson, Variegated Law- son, Enchantress, Eose-pink Enchantress, Mrs. M. A. Patten, Nelson Fisher, Har- lowarden, Ethel Ward, Helen Goddard and two seedlings, one white and one red. Of these varieties I will discard M. A. Patten, Harlowarden, Ethel Ward and Helen Goddard, and will add to my list for next season Aristocrat, Beacon and White Enchantress. I have also done a little hybridizing, which every grower should practice, at least on a small scale; it keeps up a lively interest, gives one something to look forward to at all times and, perhaps, may result profitably financially.

MR. THADEN AND HIS HOUSE. The accompanying illustrations show H. Thaden, dean of the craft in the south, in one of his greenhouses at At- lanta, explaining the merits of his new truss construction to a visitor. In for- warding the pictures Mr. Thaden says: "We mail you today photographs of a greenhouse embracing our recently pat- ented equalizing truss. Perhaps you would like to make use of it in the Review, as it embraces something radi- cally new and different from all old methods at construction, eliminating not only the post supports for the purlins, but also any and all cross bracing, thus clearing the greenhouse of all obstruc- tion from floor to ridge. As you are aware, we were awarded a certificate on our modest exhibit last summer at Day- ton, and our invention was highly recom- mended by the judges. We thought you would no doubt like to show it up to better advantage than has heretofore been done, as we are one of your old patrons, ' ' PANSIES. The pansy is one of the oldest garden flowers and most popular. Every florist can sell quantities, put up in baskets at 25 cents or 50 cents a basket, so the customer can readily carry them and plant at his convenience. In one of its widely circulated press notices the Na- tional Council of Horticulture says it is best for the home garden-maker to have in the spring pansy plants which his flo- rist has carried through the winter in a coldframe. The plants should be set out as soon as the ground is in condition for working. The only cultivation necessary is to keep the ground reasonably well stirred to prevent baking, and keep it free from weeds. The blooms should be kept picked closely, so the blooming sea- son may be lengthened. In favorable localities, where the soil is moist and not too warm, the seeds may be sown early in the spring and if thinned and the flowers picked closely will give a succession of bloom almost until winter. In rather warm and dry localities, sow seeds in August or September and trans- plant the seedlings to pots, or better, to a coldframe with good soil, where they may remain until cold weather, when they should be protected by glass and boards. They are best kept in the frames until spring, when the boards may be removed and the plants allowed to make early growth in the frames. STOCKS AND CANNAS. I have a fine strain of Cut-and-come- again stock and would like to raise my own seed. Please tell me when and how to fertilize the blossoms. I have both double and single. Which will be the seed-bearing parent? How are cannas hybridized? G. O. K. Presuming that there are no other colors or varieties of stock in the same house, there is no reason why you cannot secure some good home-saved seed. The single flowering plants are the ones which produce the seed. Bees and tap- ping the plants should sufficiently scatter tho pollen at this season. The plants must be left in the pots or benches until the seed shows signs of ripening, when they can be pulled out, the roots and part of the stems removed and the re- maining portion of the plants hung up in a dry, airy shed or room until the pods are all ripened. The pods show by their size and shape those which will give a high percentage of double flowers and all inferior ones should be discarded. Culture in pots of stocks intended for seed is desirable, for they can be moved around, whereas in benches the space, however valuable it may be, cannot be utilized for other crops until they are pulled up. A French method given by M. Chate is to place the plants in a position out- doors well exposed to the morning sun. When flowering, a number of shoots are nipped off, leaving ten or twelve pods on the secondary branches. All other branches made are carefully removed. All the sap goes to the few pods left and they average eighty per cent double flow- ers. The upper portions of the pod were separated, as they averaged eighty per cent single flowers against an equal pro- portion of doubles for the lower half. In Erfurt, Germany, where an im- mense business is done in stock and aster seeds, many of the choicer strains are obtained from plants in pots grown in sunny houses. The plants are watered only enough to keep them from dying. Thus treated the plants are weakened, pods shortened, seeds better ripened and they yield sixty to seventy per cent of doubles. Cannas for purposes of hybridization ought to be grown in pots. Place them in a sunny location in a temperature of 55 degrees to 60 degrees at night. Use a small camel 's-hair brush to remove the pollen from the flower of one variety and touch the pistils of the future seed- bearing plant with it. Bemove all flow- ers not fertilized, allow the plant to pro- duce no more blooms and enclose the fertilized flowers with fine muslin to keep out bees and other insects to make sure that no outside agencies are at work on the flowers. It is best to enclose them from insects before they open. If fer- tilized during winter, sown as soon as ripe in a brisk bottom heat and grown right along, seedlings will flower the same year. Use celluloid labels to re- cord the cross. They will not decay, like wood or paper ones. C. W. Albion, Mich. — A. H. Dew will erect two new houses this spring. One will be a truss house 37x100, the other a carnation house 27x100. A retail store will be opened in a new building on Perry street. Mr. Dew has been at it twelve years. Waverly, Mass. — Vernon T.

One of the novelties is the jewel casket shown in the accompanying illus- tration. It looks as though it were made of heavy iron and as if it were very old. A few of the best stores in New York, Chicago and other cities have had it as an exclusive specialty and have found it sold well with such flowers as violets, the sizes being just right for this pur- l)ose. Now the Geller Florists' Supply Co., which states that it is sole importer, is sending the jewel box broadcast in the trade. PLANTS BY MAIL. [A paper bj- P. J. Lynch, of West Grove, Pa., read before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia March 5, 1907.] While the subject assigned me only treats of roses by mail, I shall neverthe- less take the liberty of extending the scope to the mail-order plant trade in general. At first glance it might seem that this subject is too prosaic to admit of much that is new and interesting, es- pecially to those not engaged in the mail order business. There is, however, much in common between the mail trade man and the numerous other branches of the florists' trade. The Pioneer. From the most humble beginning the mail order trade, beset as it has been with so many vicissitudes, has made mar- velous strides. Few of us realize the great work that is being done in this branch of our trade, a work that has brought untold advantages to everyone engaged in the florists' business. I can do no better than to repeat the opinion expressed upon a previous occasion, that your mail order man is the pioneer and pathfinder of the craft, and he has car- ried the gospel of loving flowers, es- pecially roses, and how to get them and grow them, to the most remote parts of the country, and, in a measure, has been the educator of the masses, those who He has had much to combat: First of all, the skeptical public in early times refused to believe that it was possible to send rose plants, or plants of any kind, safely by mail, particularly to dis- tant points. Then, too, in the beginning it would seem that the postal laws were framed with special reference to the mail order business, to prevent it from spread- ing to any material extent. Thirty-five years ago the rate of postage was the same as that of letter postage. No plant was allowed to bear a label, nor was the name of the firm sending the package allowed to appear on the outside. It would be hard to imagine a condition of affairs more discouraging than this, but the germ of the mail order business was firmly rooted, and the early pioneers kept after the postoffice department un- til these obnoxious conditions were modi- fied and placed upon their present basis. The efficiency of the mail service has been improved, and now we are allowed to send seeds, roots and plants of all kinds under the rate of the third-class postage, 1 cent for each two ounces or fractional part thereof. Postal Reforms Needed. While the postal authorities have done much to encourage the mail order busi- ness, there is yet ample room for fur- ther reform; in fact, with the annual de- ficiency in the revenues of the postoffice department it would seem that there is a great opportunity to place the depart- ment upon a business-like basis. Not until there is concerted action in the mail order trade will we secure such conces- sions as we should have, and could un- doubtedly get by unity of movement in this direction. While I will not cite the rates of the express companies as a criterion of all that is equitable and fair, yet in some respects they are far superior to our postal rates. For example, the express company will carry 100 pounds from Philadelphia to Pittsburg for 40 cents, The Jewel Case for Violets. are not in close touch with the large cen- ters of population where the rose, grown for cut flowers, can make its own appeal. He has been a factor in beautifying the waste places of our land, and the great work in which he is engaged has but commenced. while the postofiice department would charge $8 for 100 pounds of mail mat- ter. The express companies conduct their business upon a profitable basis, and even the railroad companies provide splendid accommodations for the public in the passenger traffic at a much less rate than they charge the government to carry the mails. It seems to me that mail matter, par- ticularly in bulk, should be carried with reference to the distance covered, just the same as passenger traffic or express rates. It might be urged that this would bring about a great deal of unnecessary confusion, but were the country divided into sections or by meridians, and have- a rate of postage to each section, it would not bring about any more con- fusion than is incident to the selling of railroad tickets or making express rates to various parts of the country. T he- question is one, however, so broad in its aspect that I shall not treat it further at this time, but it is a subject that might be carefully considered by the na- tional society. And, too, the matter of a parcels post system, similar ; to that in vogue in Great Britain, should be- sought after as a measure that would revolutionize the mail order business to a very great extent. Abuses in tlie Trade. I do not want to be classed among pessimists, but in these days of reform there is an opportunity to apply some of it to the mail order trade. Sending roses and plants of all kinds by mail and guaranteeing their safe delivery to any postoffice or express office in the United States is the fundamental princi- ple which has made the sending of plant* by mail no longer a risk from the pur- chaser's viewpoint. Year after year large sums of money are spent in advertising and the send- ing out of catalogues, and the skeptical public has been won and has confidence in the mail order man; but in the en- deavor to still further increase our busi- ness there has crept in here and there abuses which should be eliminated. Through the trade papers there has been considerable discussion as to the advis- ability of giving premiums with every order. The practice is a pernicious one,, to my mind, and there is really no ex- cuse for it. We oppose the free distri- bution of seeds, but in our own business we do not oppose the free distribution of plants. There should be a flat price, a price that leaves a legitimate margin of profit; then the buyer*^ knows just ex- actly what he is getting and what he has to pay for. There are other abuses which could be easily modified which would add much to the moral tone of the mail order trade, such as misleading guarantees, which seem to grow more radical year by year, and the sending out of plants that are not true to name, which to my mind is one of the most damaging prac- tices which besets our trade. I am not an advocate of trusts and so-called community of interests, but there should be a common interest among those engaged in the mail trade to bring them in closer touch with each other and modify many of the abuses which have crept in. The mail order trade is one of inter- minable detail, and a visit to an estab- lishment at this time of year would prove a revelation to the novice. A cor- respondent, whose airy persiflage is al- ways heard above the roar and din of the battle, recently paid a visit to a mail order establishment, where he was shown upwards of a million small rose plants, being sent to nearly every state in the Union, and to foreign countries, such as China and ^apan, where, not- withstanding the trip of four to five 7'«i^MpqP9|i!*P"*!^i9i^!''*^" v'.m'wm^mr^^mtf'r 'WP^^r^^^'^jww^iiPP'iW'lP'T^iPf^T'l'T^sip?'^^ March 14, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review. J249 weeks, they invariably reach their desti- nation in first-class condition. For a person who is never surprised at any- thing his astonishment at the vast amount of detail involved came in the nature of a real triumph. Nature Demands Novelty. Human nature enters largely into our trade, and it must be realized that to sell goods to an army of different individuals through printer's ink and to hold this trade requires, first of all, honesty of purpose and individual care for each and every order that is sent out. The mail trade man encourages the production of novelties, especially in roses, because each year he must have a leader in the different branches of his business, and nothing is so attractive as a new rose. There have been so many disappointments in the new roses from Europe that we must depend upon our own hybridizers; and for that reason it seems proper at this point to ask the earnest support for the American Eose Society, and encourage it by attending the forthcoming exhibition in Washing- ton. The demand for good roses is ever present. "We cannot secure too many Killarneys, Eichmonds, Golden Gates, Kate Moultons and new roses of these types. The hardiness of the hybrid tea class has brought about a revolution in amateur circles, because the planter of the north can have roses throughout the entire growing season and at the same time they are sufficiently h6,rdy to with- stand the rigors of the most severe win- ters. We should undoubtedly secure a greater variety of hybrid teas, and our exhibitors of new varieties should be en- couraged in every possible way. I could say much more with reference to the sending of roses by mail, but I fear that the details would, perhaps, prove tiresome, and I shall therefore draw my remarks to a close by thanking you for your patience and kind atten- tion. THE ST. LOUIS EXHIBITION. The St. Louis Horticultural Society opened its first spring flower show Tues- day afternoon, March 5, in the Masonic Temple building on Grand avenue. The exhibition in itself was very pretty and the society is to be congratulated on ar- ranging in such a short time so successful a show. The display of bulbous stock was fine, especially that exhibited by F. C. Weber and G. B. Windier. C. Young & Sons and Wm. Schray & Sons had two fine groups of plants in bloom. The booth put up by F. C. Weber was handsome, showing good taste in every way. C. Young & Sons also had a finely arranged booth. In the booth of the St. Louis Seed Co. there was a general display of seeds, bulbs and birds. The Koenig Floral Co. also had a booth made of smilax which was pretty. Theodore Miller displayed a dinner table Wednesday afternoon, which was tastefully arranged and attracted a great deal of attention. His floral bas- ket, which took first prize, was also a fine piece of workmanship. F. C. Weber and E. J. Windier also displayed handsome made up baskets. The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., staged a vase of the new rose Ehea Eeid, through S. S. Skidelsky, which was ad- mired by all the visitors. Geo. A. Kuhl, of Pekin, 111., showed some good speci- men ferns and Peter Eeinberg, Chicago, a, new pink rose which came in for its P. J. Lynch. share of praise. Mr. Kill, of Eeinberg 's, was present with a large display of roses. C. L, Washburn, of Bassett & Wash- burn, Chicago, had a fine vase of No. 20, a new red carnation. The attendance was good throughout the three days and evenings, for society people were sent free tickets. The judges Avere Alex. Waldbart, E. F. Tesson and Andrew Meyer, Sr. The prizes were awarded as follows: Collection of plants in bloom, Wm. Schray & Sons first; G. B. Windier sec- ond; Koenig Floral Co. third.

On Wednesday afternoon the society gave a dinner to all the members and visitors, at the Colonial Cafe. In the evening the society held its an- nual meeting and elected officers as fol- lows: President, Edward Mallenckrodt ; vice-president, Leonard Mathews; secre- tary, 0. G. Koenig; treasurer, Fred C. Weber. The society, it is said, will at once make preparations for a fall show. J. J. B. Special prizes were awarded to the following exhibitors for booths erected in the show: St. Louis Plant and Seed Co., Koenig Floral Co., C. Young & Sons Co. and Fred C. Weber. All the first display a large collection of Whitmani ferns, dracajnas, blooming azaleas and Philadelphia Eamblers. HOW ST. LOUIS LOOKED TO ME. The spring flower show at St. Louis last week was a decided success in my opinion. There were a number of novel features which were very attractive. The best feature was the beautiful appear- ance of the hall on entering. The first view the visitor got made the hall seem like an enchanted island, filled with flow- ers artistically arranged to blend their colors in a most delightful manner. This pleasing effect started the visitor o^ a tour of admiration around the hall and it accomplished a vast amount of favorable advertising for the flower trade in St. Louis. The exhibit of spring flowers was the largest and most complete I ever saw. The arrangement of tulips, daffs, hya- cinths and valley in baskets, pots, etc., decorated with ribbons and coverings, showed excellent taste, Mr. Weber's booth had a mantel decoration, a very handsome basket of roses and several vases all well done, which, with the ar- rangement of plants, made a fine adver- tisement for his business; Theo. Miller immense flower, four inches in diameter, well built and a peculiar dark wine shade in color. It is certainly a fine novelty. The Chicago Carnation Co. had a choice exhibit and Aristocrat showed up well. They had a vase of Witterstatter 's J. A. Valentine, a fine carnation of a color between Enchantress and Win^or that looks like a good thing. Tlie J. D. Thompson Co. had a good lot of flowers. A vase of Eobert Craig was exceptionally good. There were a num- ber of other good carnation exhibits. (Bassett & Washburn's i\o. 20 at- tracted its share of attention. — Ed.) In the roses, Peter Eeinberg had two vases, one of Chatenay and one of Eichmond,. with stems four to five feet long. We don't wonder the alderman has to keep raising the roofs of his greenhouses if he grows that kind of stock. The E. G. Hill Co. had a vase of its new rose,. Ehea Eeid, similar in color to the Amer- ican Beauty. The flower is very solid, though not as large as a Beauty. The stems and foliage were fine. The color appears a little dull at first, but we think if the plants were grown m our rich Illinois corn soil that the color might be brightened up a little. The welcome extended the visitors made one feel right at home and the A Bench of Enchantress. A House of Beauties Just Setting Bud. Scenes at George M.

Hill Co., Eichmond, Ind., showed a vase of Ehea Eeid rose, a good, large flower on stiff stem. Bassett & Washburn, Hinsdale, 111., exhibited a vase of seedling No, 20, a bright red carnation, large size and good stem, A, C. Brown, Springfield, 111., showed a lairge vase of mixed carnations, con- taining a number of well-giown varie- ties. Heller Bros., Newcastle, Ind., showed three vases of carnations for exhibition only. Theodore Miller, St, Louis, a table decoration of yellow jonquils and violets, F, H, Meinhardt, fifty-seven varieties of cut flowers, Alex, Waldbart & Sons, a group of beautiful specimen palms. Vaughan 's Seed Store, Chicago, had on had a number of artistic baskets, vases, etc, and must have made a decided hit with the visitors. Another firm had a small "greenhouse" made of smilax and filled with plants and flowers, forming a novel and handsome exhibit. There were several choice exhibits of plants arranged for effect that were fine. J. S. Wilson, of Vaughan 's Green- houses, brought down two beautiful specimen azaleas and several other plants. Geo. A. Kuhl, of Pekin, had a fine show of bulbous plants and there were several exhibits of Japanese and Bermuda Easter lilies which were splen- did considering how late all lilies are. In the cut flowers the show of carna- tions was very good. A. C. Brown, of Springfield, had a fine vase of his new carnation. Gov. Deneen. Brother Brown is a sly dog and though a little deaf has. extremely good eyesight. He had deco- rated his fellow townswoman, Mrs. Ar- thur Canfield, with an immense specimen of the Governor and, as Mrs. Canfield was the "belle of the ball," it took the wind all out of the sails of the rest of us. However, the Gov. Deneen is an many courtesies which were extended us will cause us to always remember with pleasure the first exhibition of the St. Louis Horticultural Society. St. Louia is a good flower town, a city of well to do, appreciative people, and the exhi- bition cannot but have done much to add to the love of flowers. Thus it helps all in the trade and is worthy of all sup- port. C. L. Washburn. BOSTON. The Market There is considerable improvement in conditions as compared with a week ago. A good supply of flowers of all kinds is arriving, but stock cleans out much better. Wintry conditions still prevail and we have plenty of snow, altkough clearer skies have been vouchsafed to us. Eoses are in tolerably good supply ex- cept Brides, which are quite scarce. Beauties are in fair supply, but not in much demand, other roses and spring flowering stock having the preference.

White ones are rather scarce and selling as well as the colored sorts. Violets are abundant, $2 per thousand seeming to be quite a general price, although good stock realizes up to 50 cents per hun- dred. Sweet peas are of superlative quality and sell better. Callas and Eas- ter lilies are also doing rather better. Dutch bulbous stock meets with a more ready sale. There is no special change in adiantum or asparagus, but hardy ferns promise to be scarce and dearer unless snow soon disappears. A good variety of pot plants is now arriving, including rambler roses, genis- tas, rhododendrons, bulbous stock, spiraeas, etc. The sale on these is im- proving somewhat. North Shore Jottings. A. E. Parsons, at E. S. Grew's, finds lupins an excellent annual for winter flowering in benches. His carnation house looked remarkably well. Enchant- ress, of course, took the lead, but Pat- ten, White Lawson and other sorts were all good. Fischer's Purity freesia was fine and preferred to all others. fine shape. Melons were still being cut from one house. These are now grown here the year around. The first lot of nectarines were just setting. In car- nations, Enchantress and its rose-pink and striped sports were all splendid. Lady Bountiful and White Lawson were also fine. A house of yellow and white antirrhinums was first-class and there were fine lots of sehizanthus, geraniums, cyclamens and other decorative plants. Lupins were found a fine bench crop for Christmas. A good many orchids are grown. One house is devoted to cat- tleyas and considerable batches of Pha- Isenopsis, ccelogynes, Vanda ccerulea and calanthes are grown. Alexander Shaw presides at Judge Wm. H. Moore's estate. The glass here is not extensive but divisions are devoted to roses, carnations, violets, bedding plants and stove plants. The carna- tions, as elsewhere, were very good. J. W. Duncan will address the North Shore Horticultural Society on shrubs at its meeting on March 15. At W. B. Thomas', where Mr. Con- nolly has charge, carnations again looked well, Lawson, White Lawson and En- chantress especially so. Nectarines in tubs were coming into flower. A house of grapes and figs was just being per magnate pale into utter insignifi- cance. Reading such articles will make the general public believe that seedling raising is a perfect Klondyke for the growers of the divine flower. Horticultural hall is this week given up to a part of Boston's automobile show. The spring exhibition, which opens March 22, promises to be unusu- ally interesting and attractive. Many entries are already to hand for it. Tom Butterworth, at the recent pres- entation banquet, proved himself a first- class poet. His verbal bouquets for the club ofl5cers past and present made the hit of the evening. Tom is one of tae few examples of the successfill orchid cultivator and poet combined we have heard of. William Sim visited A. C. Zvolanek, of Bound Brook, N. J., this week to see his new "creations" in sweet peas flow- ering. At Cliftondale the sweet peas are superb at present. There is only a small delegation from this section to the meeting and exhibi- tion of the American Eose Society in Washington. William isieholson is having a heavy sale for shamrocks. He grew some 50,- 000 this season. "Some Bacterial Diseases of Plants, ^-^^s^>i■i*' i»-^ J^^fr.^ The Momlng Cut from this Section. Mr. Kellogg and the Mule Going to the Train. Scenes at George M.

Nec- tarines here were just coming into flower and promised well. James Salter, at Mrs. Philip Dexter 's, has several divisions devoted to fruit, including grapes, nectarines and melons. In carnations Enchantress looked fine. Some nice seedlings were under trial. Two fine new houses, each 150 feet long and even span, are nearing comple- tion for W. S. Paulding. They are located some considerable distance from his other houses and will be used mostly for fruit and vegetable forcing. At the older place the gardener, P. E. Cole, has a nice house of carnations and good batches of cyclamens. Primula obconica, antirrhinums and other seasonable flow- ers were noted. At H. C. Prick's, George Wyness, gardener, the most extensive range of glass on the North Shore will shortly be started upon. A great deal of planting was done last season, including thou- sands of hybrid rhododendrons. At R. C. Hooper's everything was in started. Eoses fill one house and others are devoted to melons and a general as- sortment of useful plants for cutting and decorative effect. Various Notes. P. E. Palmer will open a discussion on carnations at the meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club March 19. A number of carnation experts will take part in the discussion. Exhibits of many of the newer introductions, as well as standard varieties, will be forthcom- ing and other attractive features are being planned. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club will hold a field day with W. W. Edgar & Co., Waverley, Saturday, March 23. Members and friends are invited to take the 1:30 p. m. electrics from Park street subway station for Waverley. Eas- ter flowering plants are the special fea- tures at this establishment.

Will you tell me which are the best Dutch hyacinths, in different colors, to grow for Easter? C. W. Commercially, we consider single hya- cinths much more desirable than double ones. A few of the best of the several colors are: Single red or pink. Norma, Gertrude, Eobert Steiger; single yellow, King of the Yellows; single blue. Baron van Tuyll; single white, Grandeur a Merveille, Baroness van Tuyll, L 'Inno- cence. One or two fine double varieties are: White, Bouquet Eoyal; red.

Peter Keinberg's people all stand by Chatenay. They may be credited with the discovery of its commercial possi- bilities. One of the wagons of the George Wittbold Co. broke an axle last Satur- day while on the way downtown with three rush orders for retail florists. The plants were badly broken up. The Witt- bolds have some big decorations on this week, notably that of C. A. Stevens & Bro. and at the Altenheim, with a dozen smaller ones between now and Easter.

Pieser, of Kennicott's, says they already are figuring on peonies for spring and expect to break all records for business done with them. P. C. Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, says the correspondence about Easter orders has begun earUer than last year. Miss Hattie E. Carlson, on Jackson boulevard, is doing a nice business, and deserves it, for she is a hard worker and carries a good stock. Fred Lautenschlager, of Kroeschell's, was at Milwaukee last week and sold boilers to heat 90,000 square feet of glass. Killarney is beginning to give its spring crop with Weiland & Risch. They have sold out on young stock very quickly. A part of the troubles of the manu- facturers of greenhouse building mate- rial is in getting cars for prompt ship- ment. They all report orders received to date as being ahead of the business booked at this time last year. John Thorpe takes his pen in hand to tell the readers of the Daily News all about Easter flowers. There .have been many visitors in town this week, among them Axel Ag- gerholm, manager of the Mosbaek Greenhouse Co., Onarga, 111.; C. H. Chapin, El Reno, Okla.; Hermann Thie- mann, the dahlia grower at Belchertown, Mass., who is looking for a western loca- tion, and several others.

TheMaricet History repeats itself sometimes. It has been exactly nineteen years since the great blizzard knocked out New York. The anniversary -was a repetiton of the storm on a smaller scale. All day Sunday and far into the night the beautiful came down, but next Friday the ground-hog prediction will have been fulfilled and the winter over. Judging by the opening of the week, it might last a month longer and yet Easter is only a little more than a fortnight away. Little enough time to prepare for the great festival. The sunlight of the latter part of last week filled everyone with hope. A few more days like Saturday and there will be no further complaint of short supply of roses. In fact, the growers now assert that there will be enough and to spare of everything for Easter and that prices cannot advance to unrea- sonable figures. Just now 40 cents looks large for violets and thousands of fresh ones go at 25 cents per hundred. Over the cleaning up process the morn- ing after it is better to cast the veil of silence. Anybody could have afforded a pall of violets last week. There was not a funeral piece made that did not have violets in it. Most of the designs were- violet wreaths and crosses and on the streets the Athenians certainly did their share in popularizing the modest flower. . The street merchants were offering valley in large quantities Saturday. The best was sold no higher than $2 and fine stock fell to $1.50. Narcissi were every- where. The outdoor display made the corners of the principal streets very springlike. Carnations show no improvement in price, though the quality grows con- stantly better. On Saturday the green carnation will close its career. At best, it is a mongrel, but there must be a call for it else the supply houses would not dispose of such quantities of dye. All roses, except Beauties, displayed a downward tendency last week and yet $3 per hundred was about the bottom for the shortest. The best American Beau- ties held strong at $9 per dozen. They may double this for Easter if the short supply continues. With such a supply of blooming- plants as is already assured there can be no abnormal rise in cut flower prices and the picklers, if there be any left, will get what they deserve. It won 't pay this year to ship aged goods of any kind to the New York market. Club Meeting. The club meeting Monday evening was one of the best. Over fifty members were present and many visitors. President Totty occupied the chair. Mr. Sheridan made the report for the dinner commit- tee. The outing committee announced progress, with a palatial steamer secured and the date fixed, July 2, for the sum- mer festival. A motion to appropriate $100 for contests at the outing, after a discussion participated in by Messrs. O'Mara, Atkins, Weathered, Scott, Gutt- man and others, was defeated. Four gen- tlemen proposed at the last meeting were elected to membership and Messrs. Geo. Baldwin and Mr. Bolles were proposed. Mr. Wallace, in behalf of the club, presented a handsome diamond pin to the retiring president, Mr. John Scott, as a token of the appreciation of his fellow members and a tangible recognition of his faithful service. Mr. Scott was com- pletely surprised and spoke feelingly of the loyalty and appreciation of the club during his occupancy of the chair and of the pleasure it had afforded him. The resignation of John J. Phelps was accepted with regret. Julius Koehrs, Jr., the recently elected trustee of the club, made his maiden ad- dress, promising devotion and good service and expressing apijreciation of the honor. A. J. Guttman proposed that the board of trustees and the oflScers of the club be empowered to devise ways and means for providing a suitable home for the club. He was seconded by P. O'Mara and by President Totty, whose ambition is the comfortable and permanent hous- ing of the club during his incumbency. C. B. Weathered also spoke in behalf of the enterprise. John Birnie gave a practical and in- teresting address on * * The Needs of New York as Regards a Plant Market, in which he referred to the remissness of the city and the "crying need" of a market in New York, declaring it is of vital importance to the florists' busi- ness and dwelling upon the missionary influence of plants in every household. He said 10,000 square :^eet of space is needed and a place where seasonable plants can be displayed and sold all the year around. "- -■ <- ■■-■'j i ^ —- 'f'-y.>,lm.

Mr. O'Mara spoke of the Gansvoort market and the hope that the city would use the site for the erection of a large and suit- able building in which a great plant mar- ket was to be included. Mr. Daly an- nounced the impossibility of using the old plant market this year. The award committee, which visited Anton Zvolanek's plant at Bound Brook, N.

Queen Beatrice, spoke interestingly of it,, and said many of the roses had already been exhibited at the Phila- delphia meeting a week ago and that none of the flowers shown had been out less than three days before.

It works on the tips of young fronds and seems to kill them, some fronds having as many as ten bugs on them. I would like to know what it is and how to get rid of it. L. L. W. We do not know of any white bug which affects ferns in the manner de- scribed. The white fly, about which so much has been written, is sometimes very troublesome on nephrolepis and other species. Fumigation with hydro- cyanic acid gas has frequently been de- scribed in the Review, and, if carefully done, little injury need result. In sum- mer when the temperature runs higher there is greater danger. If the pest is not the white fly we wouW like to have a sample sent in an envelope for identi- fication. C. W.

If the last crop of the season has not been got into the benches, it should be done now, without delay. Where a gen- eral stock is grown this crop is usually omitted, as the room can be utilized to" bettor advantage for general bedding material. A nice thing to have in a case like this is a good supply of cold- frames. In an average season lettuce can be planted about, or even before, this date in coldframes and kept com- fortably warm by covering, but in a season like this, with so much zero weather even in March, not much could be gained by planting early. Though 'the sun is strong enough to heat the frames up well through the day, it would take a great deal of covering to keep the frost out, even if the frames were shut up early and all possible heat reserved. "• The greenhouse crop will require a good deal more water now than it did ■earlier in the season and, although there is less danger of an overabundance of atmospheric moisture, nevertheless judg- ment should be used in its application. Water should always be applied early in the day, so that the moisture will be well dried up before night. On mild nights, a little air should be left on from this out, if someone is in close touch with the house, so that the venti- lators could be closed in the case of a sudden change. March weather is an un- certain proposition and sudden changes must be looked for and guarded against. Greenfly is apt to put in its appear- ance frequently and should be checked as soon as seen. Tobacco fumigation is about the simplest and easiest means of keeping it down, only it has to be done frequently to be effective. Tlie variety of greenfly that affect^ lettuce is a big, fat, healthy-looking i^eTlow, but he is not a hard one to destroy if taken in time. But if he once gets a good foot- hold, it will take several fumigations to get the pest under control. It is better to fumigate two or three nights in suc- cession, if the fly is bad, rather than try to use the tobacco strong enough to destroy them with one dose. Tobacco can be had in several forms, but we find the dust the easiest to han- dle. There is a kind of specially pre- pared for burning. When once this is started it will keep on burning for sev- eral hours. The smoke is never so dense in the house as it would be if stems were used, but the length of time it keeps on smoking seems to wear them down and do them more harm than a sudden filling of the house would, with a good deal less danger of damage to the plants. There are several liquid forms of tobacco extract that are applied by evaporation. They certainly do the work well and are used by many, but are more expensive to use than the dust. W. S. Croydon. THE GRAND RAPIDS COMBINE. In speaking of the new corporation formed by a number of Grand Kapids growers, a local paper says: "Lettuce will probably be the princi- pal crop raised by the Grand Rapids Greenhouse Co., the new $160,000 com- pany which was recently organized for the purpose of consolidating several of the largest greenhouses in the city. "Grand Eapids has long been supreme as a growing and shipping point for let- tuce, and the organization will strive to uphold this supremacy. The market has been rather demoralized for the last year or two and it is believed that it will soon find its equilibrium. "Nothing definite has been decided regarding a central plant, but the one most talked of is to use the greenhouses of E. E. Taylor, on the South Division street road, and make extensive altera- tions and improvements there. * ' Although lettuce will probably be the staple crop, other vegetables- will be grown, and flowers will form no small part of the business, chrysanthemums es- pecially being grown in quantity to pre- cede the lettuce."

The demand for Stone tomato is tax- ing the sources of supply. Seed stock of the Early Ohio potato begins to look good to those 'who have a supply. Seed travelers report competition so keen that profits will be but a side issue if business is booked by them. It is reported that there are still a few pounds of onion seed available. White Globe, however, is said to be cleaned out. Theee are yet some acres needed for pea planting for the coming year's seed crop and reports have it that they are getting hard to find.

Nothing much is being said about the probable size of the pickle acreage for the coming year. But the pickle men will likely get busy later on. The idea that all garden seeds are sold by means of catalogues is a mis- taken one. Every country newspaper is now carrying the advertisement of the local seed dealer. It is reported that John Lewis Childs, of Moral Park, who sold the Mayflower a year or so ago, is contemplating start- ing another "floral" paper, with D. J. Thomas, founder of Floral Life, as edi- tor. If the sales of narcissus bulbs were based on the prices realized for the cut blooms since the latter part of Febru- ary the demand would be considerably curtailed. Early prices were satisfac- tory.

Onion sets are going at good prices, though, and perhaps this will stimulate things before the planting sea- son is over. A COMBINATION, Or an agreement of some kind that would restrain one dealer from cutting another's prices, is much desired and talked about by the whole- sale seed dealers, but they fail to do anything definite. Boston seed houses report counter trade much behind that of a year ago at this date, due to the continued severe weather, and a congestion of business is sure to follow the breaking of winter.

The onion set is still holding its own and, by the way, if it is true as reported, that southern California shipped 1,000 tons of onion sets into Texas the past year, it is remarkable that so large a lot was overlooked when the crop reporter was sizing up the year's product. SAMPLING. Our congressmen have been setting an example for our seedsmen to follow, so that now we are getting free samples with at least one-half of the seed cata- logues that come to our tables. These are all intended as baits to catch trade, and as such are a menace to square deal- ing and to the honest seedsman. I take it that the honest seedsman with an es- tablished reputation does not need to send out these free samples, and the hon- est buyer does not care to be worked in this way. T"he average buyer of seeds does not care to take the time and trou- ble to test these sample packets, but pre- fers to rely upon the reputation of the seedsman for honest goods. Nineteen- twentieths of the sample packets thus sent out by our seedsmen were un- doubtedly never intended to be tested, but are calculated as baits for a con- stantly wavering trade. L. 0, Williams, WEATHER AND TRADE. Unseasonably cold weather west and south is holding trade back.

This will ease things up somewhat when the wholesalers are called upon to meet the requirements elsewhere. Mail trade is coming about as usual and counter trade is beginning to open up. An early spring is predicted in the central west, as there is little frost left in the ground. The demand for onion seed is not as brisk as it should be; the high prices seem to be a factor here, many of the planters being inclined to hold off for lower prices. It is thought that the conditions fully warrant the high prices, however, and no anxiety is felt by those who have onion seed to sell. THE TULIP DISEASE. The many complaints that have been received during the last few years through the seedsmen and the trade gen- erally, in consequence of the fact that so often tulips in the beds of parks and private gardens failed to bloom, and even in many places failed to come alto- gether, now justify us in giving the re- sults of our trials and investigations in this direction for the benefit of all those interested. We have, for the last three years been making extensive trials based upon the discoveries of Prof. H. Kle- bahn, of Hamburg, who not only suc- ceeded in finding the cause of the tulip disease, but also the fact that it shows its existence in two distinct forms caused by the fungi Botrytis parasiticus and Sclerotium Tuliparum. To make a long story short, we might as well refrain from going too much into the details, and we therefore only give the main points here. Generally the disease caused by Botrytis shows it- self in the early spring, by the non- appearance or by the backward and sick- ly sprouts that come above the ground, and upon lifting such diseased bulbs one can easily find the cause of it in the shape of numerous small black fungi.

These fungi are usually to be found in many hundreds together and under certain fa- vorable circumstances in damp atmos- phere, they spore freely in the spring, and thus cause a rapid infection of the soil or of the surrounding plants of tu- lips. As these fungi keep alive in the ground and retain their vitality for at least two years, it is certainly not surprising that some grounds are so badly infected by the neglect of proper attention to de- cayed bulbs that no tulip bulbs can grow in them any more. It would be an easy matter to kill these fungi in the ground by the application of a good dose of car- bolineum or similar disinfectant, but ex- perience has shown that the cure is worse EstaUislicd 1B80.

The only practical plan, therefore, is to lift out any of the affected bulbs at the earliest possi- ble date in the spring, together with the surrounding soil, taking great care that nothing is being spilled, and have it all carefully destroyed by burning. If this process is, however, not done with great care, it had better not be done at all. ' ...^^.li^ ■■■•■' ■■'*'■ - - .M«-ij.^i> ■•!.. yj^.

The foregoing suggestions are based upon the results of our own trials so far, but may be improved upon in the future, as experience will teach us. The fact that there are two distinct forms of fungi, which cause almost similar re- sults, may as well be left alone for the present, especially as sometimes the two diseases are mixed up together and thus make the distinction difficult.

The bulbs of Lilium candidum are usually imported from the warm climate of the south of France, and are more or less liable to disease, against which there does not at present appear to be any really reliable preventive or rem- edy. Much of this trouble is caused through the bulbs being imported from such a warm climate, as the bulbs im- ported from Holland and North Ger- many are much more successful. Un- doubtedly the finest bulbs obtainable, especially for early forcing, are those grown undisturbed for some years in England, and such as are obtained by dealers from small country cottage-gar- dens. Another cause of trouble is the drying the bulbs undergo in lifting and transit, for of all bulbs of plants, Lilium candidum most resents disturbance, and it is better treated as a green plant than as a dry bulb. Another cause of trouble is that many Continental stocks, and more especially the French, are of a different variety to the English and, al- though many persons would deny it, two distinct types of this plant exist. The less valuable, and the type to be rigor- ously avoided, is in growth much shorter than the other. The blooms are smaller, not so pure white, and are not so freely produced. The leaves are also much narrower and less numerous on the stem; the bulb can also be easily distinguished, as the scales are much smaller and nar- rower, while the bulb is inclined to 'de- velop a "neck," and is almost identical in shape with that of the old purple "tiger lily," Lilium tigrinum purpu- reum, whereas the English type has very fat, thick scales, and the bulb is per- fectly flat on the top, with an entire ab- sence of any neck. — Gardeners' Chroni- cle, NEWPORT, R.L Current G>mment. Dahlia growers, commercial and pri- vate, are now hard at work propagating from cuttings for the increase of stock. Some of the choicest and largest col- lections of dahlias in the country are to be found here. Hitherto the largest col- lections were in the possession of private growers; this year it seems that two commercial men have, by recent heavy purchases, become the leaders in this respect. The ladies ' night of the Newport Hor- ticultural Society, March 5, was a de- cidefl success. In years past several Newport grow- ers experienced much diflBculty in re- tarding Cactleya gigas so as to have them when the season is at . its height afxd the flowers in greatest demand. This year the condition of a great many plants indicates that there need be no fear of their coming in too early. William Jurgens and wife have gone to Philadelphia for a short visit. Mr. Jurgens is one of the pushing young men in the business, so much so that a short vacation is well earned. Gibson Bros., despite the fact that their own cut of carnations was fully up to the average, purchased a great many more carnations from out of town this winter than ever before.

Gibson Bros.' greenhouses are located in the heart of the best residence part of the city, which has of late increased in value to such an extent as to cause the owners to think seriously of build- ing residences on the ground and locat- ing their greenbbuses elsewhere. In the event of that taking place they will build several up-to-date houses.

The Market The retailers in this city -will be glad to see the last of this Lenten sea- son. For several years Lent has not af- fected the trade to a great extent, but this season either religion has struck in deeper or the flower buyers were worn out with the busy, fashionable season :and are resting entirely. There were several funerals of prominent men last week, which created an exceptional de- mand for that kind of stock and made a fair week in a general way. There was great complaint of the slow trade. Among the wholesalers you do not hear so much complaint, for they seem .to think it has a depressing effect on their customers and for that reason re- • port business as all that can be ex- pected, but the evidence is in the ice- boxes full of stock and the quantities of stock the fakirs are carrying around. Various Notes. The Florists' Club met Tuesday even- ing, March 5, and had a fine display of blooming plants ^ otr exhibition. The subject for discussion being '/Easter Plants," there was a fair crowd pres- ent, although many were delayed so much getting home on account of the terrible snow storm and gale which came oVer the city at 6 p. m. that they were unable to get back for the meeting. John Bader was a visitor in the east last week. Miss Stoner, formerly with Miss Max- well, of Wilkinsburg, was married last week. Hoo-Hoo. Oswego, N. Y. — Patrick G. Campbell, whose greenhouses, consisting of 8,000 feet of glass, were established in 1900, is enjoying a good business.

We are pleased to be able to report a continuance of great business activity and a market well supplied in the gen- eral lines. Everything under glass is showing a vigorous growth in response .to the bright spring sunshine. Violets are a feast and anyone with "two bits" to spare can wear a bunch. No one has reason to regret haying grown them, and the retailers find the home product more profitable than those imported from California. Not until this month was the supply of carnations equal to the demand and prices are holding up well. Roses are maintaining the season's usual standard of quality, only a little shy in quantity. Bulbous stuff has been our salvation, for without it we would have been up against it, owing to the unprecedented^ call for design work. Never onc^tj^li'ris it accumulated, although handled in large quantities. Daffodils have been popular for festive occasions and we do not think there was any money lost on them at 75 cents and $1 per dozen. Surely spring has come to stay, as Mr. Eobin demands his breakfast at six o'clock, crocuses are blooming outside and, unless unfavorable symptoms set in, there should be an aoundance of everything for the Easter trade. VariotM Notes. The building fever is spreading and several of our leading growers will add substantially to their respective places. George Betz tells us with great dignity that he has already commencea opera- tions up the valley on a new range of 15,000 feet. Charles Street, of Clackamas, will put some of his violet money into two new houses. Robinson Bros., of Woodstock, will do likewise. Tonseth & Co. also announce that there will be more than one smoke stack on their premises a few months hence. Clarke Bros, have outgrown the space they occupy and, surrounding property being too valuable for greenhouse pur- poses, we are informed that this firm will build a strictly modern range about seven miles from town. We have not had the opportunity of interviewing Mr. Sibson recently, but we venture to say that he will need more room for Richmond and Kate Moulton another year. He reports a sale for everything and orders increasing from out of town. There are others talking expansion, but we have been too busy to call on them, so will refer to them later. J. R. Fotheringham, representing the F. R. Pierson Co., spent last week with as, emphasizing the good points of all the new carnations.

SAN FRANCXSOO.' The Market Lent is still with us and the weather has not been conducive to much transient trade, but notwithstanding these draw- backs we have had a fair share of busi- ness during the last week. Flowers are gradually getting lower in price, with the exception of roses. Violets are com- mencing to take on their spring growth and are getting scarce in consequence. The price has been advanced 25 cents per dozen bunches by the wholesalers. Bulbous stock is not so plentiful as it has been and not much is seen except some late daffodils. Eomans are out of the market. A few Dutch hyacinths are being used by the retailers. Tulips seem to have lost their hold on the public and few have been shown this year. Quite a quantity of freesias are being brought in and find ready sale at $2 per hundred. Carnations are a shade lower than last week and the supply is good, but not in excess of the demand. Outdoor stock, with the exception of bulbous flowers, is not in evidence yet and it will be several weeks before we have anything to draw from. Maiden- hair fern of the wild variety is plentiful and it has proven a godsend to the re- tailers, who have been woefully short of everything in the line of green stuff since the holidays.

Everyone seems to have an abundance of stock and prices have declined, especially on bulb stock. Some fine Yellow Prince tulips were on the market during the week at $1 per hundred. The quality of all stock could hardly be improved and as the demand is light, some loss has been sustained. Easter plants are slowly coming in. Easter stock with all of the growers looks promising and there is no anxiety as to having practically everything ready. While there are some lilies that cannot possibly be got in, a large ma- jority will be all right. Minneapolis. Ralph Latham has enlarged his place considerably and is in shape for a good Easter trade. Carlson & Sandberg continue to cut some of the finest stock offered here.

The sin Jose scale is reported at Grand Eapids, Mich. C. S. Harrison has issued a second edition of his Peony Manual. There -was a meeting of New Eng- land nurserymen at New Haven, Conn., March 4. Baudry's Nursery Co., Chicago, has been incorporated, with $5,000 capital stock, by Peter C. King, Frank M. Bur- wash and John T. Booz. A BILL has been introduced in the Min- nesota legislature providing for inspec- tion of nurseries at least twice a year and making it a misdemeanor to misrep- resent in making a sale. The New England Nurseries, Bostouj has been incorporated with dn author- ized capital stock of $30,000. The pres- ident is W. M. Richardson, Cambridge, and the treasurer A. E. Eobinson, North Abington. The Bed Bank Nursery Co., Bed Bank, N. J., has been incorporated with $100,000 authorized capital. The inter- ested parties are J. McColgan, of Eed Bank, and E. Runyan, president of the Elizabeth Nursery Co., Elizabeth, N. J. A HORTICULTURAL inspector makes the suggestion that the way to secure the spraying of trees in infected localities is to levy a tax of so much per tree on property owners, the taxing body then to see that the spraying is done and done properly. Wm. a. Peterson, Chicago, says he feels that there has been no overdoing of the peony, as many have predicted; in- deed, he thinks it quite the opposite and looks for a much wider demand in fu- ture. As a result he has just about twice as many plants in the ground as a year ago. The U. S. Department of Agriculture, through the forest service, gives prac- tical assistance to land owners in estab- lishing commercial forest plantations, shelter belts, windbreaks and snowbreaks, and in reclaiming shifting sands and other waste lands by forest planting. In connection with this work, information will be given, when possible, to inter- ested communities by public meetings. The department furnishes blanks on which application is to be made for its assistance. A. J. Perkins, of Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y., after a winter in California, at the branch nursery of the Jackson & Perkins Co., has been for several weeks in the Sandwich Islands, and expects to sail March 15 from Hono- lulu for Yokohama. He will remain in Japan several months and will visit the leading nurseries and places of horticul- tural interest. Mr. Perkins is a well- informed botanist, which, along with his knowledge of commercial horticulture, should enable him to make the trip a particularly interesting and profitable one. Yucca filamentosa, Adam 's needle, is evergreen and quite hardy almost every- where. When planted in a group or bed it forms a unique contrast to most other things around. The foliage, although green, is decorative. It is also appro- priate for use in borders and in corners or other parts of extensive shrubberies. In midsummer Yucca filamentosa pushes up long, straight stalks, covered at the top with handsome ivory-white flowers. HARDY ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS. One of the most satisfactory of large shrubs is the grand old snowball. There are several varieties of viburnum. The Japanese snowball is smaller than the common American variety, but is a fine bloomer. The highbush cranberry closely resembles the snowball in its foliage, and has an additional attraction in its brilliant clusters of red berries which sometimes remain through the winter. In the autumn its foliage turns to bright colors, which remain until freezing weather. Philadelphus, also known as syringa and mock orange, has flowers which some think resemble orange blossoms. The foliage comes out rather late, but it is an extremely valuable shrub to have in a collection, especially where one has con- siderable room. It is as hardy as the oak and does well in the shade. The best varieties are grandiflora, which has large white flowers; flore-pleno, with double flowers, and Pekinensis, with fragrant white flowers.. The barberry is a pretty shrub for groups. Its red varieties are ornamental in autumn and winter. The purple- leaved variety makes a fine contrast with the green. Canadensis is the species na- tive to America. Berberis Ilicifolia has leaves like the holly and Berberis pur- purea has foliage of purple. The Na- tional Council of Horticulture recom- mends these shrubs in one of its press bulletins. INSECTS AND PLANT DISEASES. [A paper by Arthur H. Rosenfeld; assistant entomologist. Louisiana State Pest Commission, read at the annual convention of the Society of Southern Florists, at New Orleans, February 14 to 16, 1907, continued from the issue of March 7.] Nature of Protection Afforded. The principal protection afforded by any commission or board of entomology is in the inspection and certification of nursery stock, the best method of pre- venting the spread of most insects. Were it not for the inspection laws against the San Jose scale alone, it is doubtful if there would be a single large orchard in the United States unharmed by this insect. The different state laws for the in- spection and certification of nursery stock are fairly uniform. In brief, the requirements are that every nursery de- siring to sell stock shall be inspected once each year, and in case any danger- ously injurious insects or plant diseases are found therein, no stock shall be al- lowed to go out of this nursery, even as a gift, until same has been properly cleared of the pest. When the nursery is apparently free of the insects or dis- eases quarantined against, a certificate of inspection is granted the nurseryman, which entitles him to do business until July 1, following. Copies of the certifi- cate of inspection are printed upon or- dinary shipping tags, and at least one of these tags must be attached to every package or bundle of nursery stock leav- ing the premises.

HAWKINSON NURSERY KZCELSIOR, MINN. Mention The Review when you write. How Commissions are Maintained* The manner of paying for this inspec- tion varies in the different states. For instance, in Illinois the expenses of the inspector are borne by each nurseryman according to the time required by the inspector to go over the premises. This is about the best system where the nurseryman has to pay the expenses him- self, as the small nurseryman has to pay only his proportion of what the large grower does. In Virginia, the arrangement is not quite so satisfactory for the nurseryman. Every person, firm, or corporation, sell- ing, or shipping nursery stock into the state, must pay a fee of $20 annually, be he a large or small dealer. While the bigger nurserymen in the state can well afford this amount, the small nurseryman has to pay just the same amount. In Louisiana the nurseryman pays practically nothing, as all expenses in- cident to inspection are paid out of the fund appropriated for the maintenance of the state crop pest commission. The only expense which the nurserymen have to undergo is the very nominal one of paying for the actual printing of copies of their certificates of inspection upon shipping tags, which tags are paid for by the commission. Certificate an Advantage. And in this connection, I might men- tion a direct advantage to the nursery- man, gained through the use of these tags. This is their value as advertise- ments. They are veritable health cer- tificates, showing, as they do, that the stock to which they are attached, is grown by a reliable nurseryman, who has complied with all the requirements of law. While no certificates can be posi- tive guarantees, they serve as the best possible indication that all stock to which they are attached is free of dan- gerously injurious insects and plant dis- 20.000 LARGE CALIFORNIA PRIVET 6 to 6 feet, $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 6 to 7 feet, 9.00 per 100; 76.00 per 1000.

Buyers of nursery stock all over the country are beginning to realize the importance of these certificate tags, and nurserymen who succeed in shipping without them, are at a decided disad- vantage with the trade. Results. A vast amount of good results have been obtained by this law alone. Many states, whose orchard industries would have beeh entirely ruined by the dread San Jose scale, now have their fruit businesses in more flourishing condition than before, while added confidence in- spired by these protective rules and regulations have given tone to the nur- sery stock market. The work in Louis- iana will serve as a good example of th© advantage of these laws, for the nursery inspection work has been in force but two years, and the improvement in nur- sery conditions are easily noted. I will close by quoting from this year's report on "The Nursery Business of Louisi- ana," which I made to Mr. Newell sev- eral weeks ago. "The second year of the nursery in- spection work of the state crop pest commission of Louisiana has just been completed, and the nursery conditions DACLFQ Onjpwn Roots M%>\W\^K^\^ 2 years.

"Forty-nine nurseries have been in- spected, just twenty-one more than were inspected last season. In the case of fourteen out of this forty-nine, San Jose scale in slight quantity was found either in the nurseries themselves, or so close to them as to endanger the nursery stock by spreading, while chaff scale on orange was found in one. To date all, except five nurserymen, have followed the direc- tions of the commission and have suc- ceeded in eradicating the scale from their premises. In the case of the delinquent five, certificates of inspection have been refused until the premises are thoroughly cleaned up, kept under quarantine a suffi- cient time, then reinspected and pro- nounced apparently free of scale by the inspector. Most of these premises will •:^'!%\f^\\^ '^^ "^"^ ^ .r^ ■7 iT> ■••yf~'' '■'^^^''y\ry^~i 1288 The Weekly Florists^ Review* MAncH 14, 1907. probably be cleared of scale in the near future, as almost all of the nurserymen in Louisiana fully realize the importance of getting rid of these pests. Forty- three certificates of inspection have been issued. "Since this inspection syste^i was in- augurated last season the amount of nur- sery stock grown in the state has in- creased almost 400 per cent. Last season the inspectors of the commission ex- amined 683,550 growing marketable trees and shrubs. This season the number has been increased to 2,172,632. "In addition to the above, several thousand orchard trees, which were grow- ing in close proximity to nurseries, were examined. "On the whole, the status of the nur- . scry business of the state is most en- couraging. The extraordinary increase of salable stock in one season, the in- creased number of nurseries inspectea, and the diminution in percentage of nurseries infested, all point to the fact that the protection and assistance given to both buyers and sellers of nurseiy stock by the commission, has had the effect of stimulating the state's fruit industries. LENOX, MASS. The regular meeting of the Lenox Horticultural Society was held Saturday, March 2, President F. Heeremans in the chair. The schedules for the June, Au- gust and fall exhibitions were read and adopted. This being carnation night, it brought out some fine exhibits. The fol- lowing exhibitors were awarded first prizes: A. J, Loveless, for a fine vase of Robert Craig; F. H«eremans, for En- chantress; A. McConnachie, for Mrs. T. W. Lawson, also winning for a vase of mixed varieties. A. H. Wingett staged a vase of Stock Queen Alexandra which was much admired, some of the spikes being fully three feet in length, and was awarded a cultural certificate, also for two fine vases of President Carnot and Bichmond roses. I may say that Rich- mond is doing remarkably well here, al- though we have had a dull winter, and all the growers speak highly of it.

Dinners and parties are not plen- tiful but a large demand for funeral v/ork helped to use up the accumulation of stock. The market is well supplied with a general line. American Beauty roses, especially the select, long-stemmed ones, are not seen in any large quantities, but these, as well as tea roses, are beginning to come in much more satisfactorily. White roses, on account of funeral demands, have cleaned up nicely and Bridesmaids near- ly as well. Both of these, as well as Eichmond, Liberty and Chatenay, are of good quality. Carnations are in good supply, but the prices remain about the same. They will be in fine condition for Easter unless they" go off crop ; some indications point that way, Violets are plentiful and any number can be had at this time. It is said some sold under a dollar, but not first-class stock. Air bulbous stock is in abundance, the demand not being quite so strong. Variottf Notes. Geo. M. Kessler, of St. Louis, has been called to take up the work of improving the park and boulevard system here. N. A.

It is certainly a good keeper and that seemed to be the one fact all were agreed upon. The Western Bowling Congress, now in session here, with teams from all over the west, from Kansas City to Port- land, opened March 7 at the Coliseum. The Florists' League had a five-men team entered, and bowled the first night. To Boss Mahan, of the Alpha Floral €p., belongs the honor of the first strike of the series. N. A.

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 tbe very unfavorable weather, cuttines did not root as quickly as we expected; besides we are growing them cool, which takes a little longer. All of the stock we have sent out has given the best of satisfaction, as it is oar aim to see that every cutting Is first-class in every respect.

MABELLE NKW PINK CARNATION FOR 1907 Color — A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a faint yellowish cast; several shades lig-hter than the Law- son. Unlike most pinks, the brightest sun does not injure the color. Slse— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when established. Odor — Pleasing^, but not stronsr. 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 giv^s long stems right from the start. Prodnct- iTeneaa— 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 tl2.00 per lOU; tlOO.OO per 1000. THE H. WEBER & SONS CO., Oakland, Md.

Bright weather is helping the tardy lily crop along and if it continues most of the lilies intended for Easter will be out. There is no doubt about the Crimson Eamblers being ready, as the buds are showing color now. Hydrangeas will be in, but, as it were, at the eleventh hour. Some of the buds are showing color. Of tulips, hyacinths and daffodils there will be the usual big Easter crop. Violet plants in 6-inch pans, while in seeming good supply, will be exhausted before Easter arrives. In cut flowers, roses are still scarce, although coming in more freely and of improved quality. Carnations are more plentiful but moving nicely, with white scarce. The plants give promise of hold- ing out for Easter with generous cuts. Eoses will be in better crop at Easter than now. The West Michigan State Fair people were hot after the state legislature for an appropriation of $5,000 to help en- large its educational scope and offer additional premiums, but were at the last moment turned down, and $20,000 voted for exhibiting Michigan industries at the Jamestown exposition. G. F. C. ELBERON, N. J. The regular meeting of the Elberon Horticultural Society was held' March 4, Vice-president Henry "Wood in'v'the chair. Three new members were elected.

Business was good during the last week and made up in great part for wliat slowness there was the week pre- vious. Prices stiffened and the demand had some snap. While there was a plen- tiful supply of all kinds of flowers, still, after the morning's rush was over, there was little left. There was a scarcity of American Beauties; in fact, this flower has been scarce on this mar- ket all season. Red roses and white car- nations are not equal to the demand. VariouB Note*. We are beginning to notice the usual comments on the green carnation for St. Patrick's day. That there are thou- sands of carnations so doctored for this day could be well realized if you could see tlie number of orders for the dye that are being filled by the various firms selling this stutf. The advance orders for white carnations for that time call for more than there will be any chance of getting. While there is a demand for them, there will be green carnations, and all that can be said will have little effect upon those who are meeting this demand. There is nothing that can ,be said in favor of this practice and a whole lot against it. A meeting of the Florists' Society was held Saturday evening and while the at- tendance was light, those present made up in enthusiasm. The subject of flower shows was again talked over and it was decided that the society could not afford to have no show at all. As it had been found to be impracticable to hold a large mum show, as was at first talked of, it was decided that we will have a show next fall and it will be made just as big as we can afford. A committee was appointed to report at the next meet- ing, with full plans laid so that sched- ules can then be issued and distributed. Within a couple of weeks I hope to be able to give in these columns a full re- port of our plans for next season. John E. Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., sent three carnations to be exhibited at this meeting, but owing to some delay they were not received till Sunday morn- ing. Nevertheless they were in good condition. They were Pink Imperial, on the order of Lawson; John E. Haines, a beautiful scarlet color, introduced last year, and Imperial, a pink variegated. Visitor: E. J, Fancourt, of Philadel- phia. C. J.

We have every house, nook and corner full of plants and they were never so fine as this year, 1907. While laborers, merchants, jobbers, contract- ors, builders, etc., have increased their prices al- most double as usual, we have not advanced our prices; but look, we sell our plants at the same old prices charged two or three years ago when the cost of producing plants was much cheaper.

The last regular monthly meeting of the Washington ilorists' Club, prior to the convention, was held March 5, with a good attendance. All oflSoers of the preced- ing year were unanimously reelected, as follows: President Peter Bisset; vice- president, Z. D. Blackistone; secretary, Charles McCauley; treasurer, W. H. Er- nest; board of directors, George C. Shaf- fer and W. S. Clark; awards committee, Charles McCauley, W. S. Clark, John Eobertson, Joseph Freeman, Jr., and JfitOSxa.a Field. Much satisfaction was expressed by the club at the efficient work accomplished by each officer, and the reports were excellent. The commit- tee on arrangements for the convention this week reported good progress. No stone has been left unturned to make the show one of Washington's greatest exhibitions. Advertising in local daily papers was resorted to and they have shown a keen interest and published much to attract the general public. F. H. Kra- mer offered a cup valued at $50 to be bowled for March 15. Mr. Shaffer has the decorative work of the banquet hall at Arlington hotel. Peter Bisset had on exhibition eight magnificent specimens of the newer types of primroses, which attracted much at- tention. James L. Carbery showed a vase of Enchantress and one of Fla- mingo carnations. LovTELLViLLE, O. — The high wind of March 2 blew the sashes off the green- houses of Keuben Darrow and broke them badly.

Co., Chicago, is preparing to put on the market a new size of «S W«ll-known hot water boiler. They call it the Jumbo, because it is built to heAt 50,000 feet of glass to 60 degrees wheil it is 15 degrees below zero outside. HEATING TWO HOUSES. We wish to kn»w how many flows and returns it will take to heat the follow- ing houses:* No. 1, a north and south house, 18x98, and ten feet to the ridge; the side waJls four and one-half feet high, glass ventilatord in the east wall and a greenhouse on the west side. No. 2, an east and west house, 24x105, and twelve feet to the ridge; side walls four and one-half feet high, glass ventilators in the south wall; the north wall has no protection. The houses have a fall of eighteen iifches from the end to the boiler-pit. The boiler is two feet lower than the lowest part of either house. We have a lot of 2-inch pipe and would like to use that if possible. We have 4-inch flows and returns attached to the boiler. Hot water is used. We wish to maintain a temperature of 60 degrees when it is 10 degrees below zero. B. F. Co. To heat house No. 1 by the use of 2-inch pipe, twelve runs of pipe should be installed. This can be supplied by using a single 3-inch flow pipe or two lines of the twelve can be used as flow pipes, the remaining ten serving in two coils of five each as returns. House No. 2 can be heated by the use of 2-inch pipe if sixteen lines are installed. If a single riser is desired a 3% -inch pipe will be necessary. If 2-inch risers are employed, three will be necessary. The remaining thirteen pipes can be divided into three coils, thus throwing the extra pipe into the coil on the most exposed side of the house. L. C. C. PIPING TWO HOUSES. I have two east and west houses, each 22%xl50 and ten feet to the ridge, with cement walls and sixteen inches of glass on each wall. Temperature outdoors has dropped to 30 degrees below zero. The north house is for carnations and sixty feet of the south house is used for roses, forty feet for ferns and fifty feet for bedding plants. The boiler-room is at the northwest corner of the carnation house, and the sixty horse-power steam boiler is set two and one-half feet be- low the lowest heating coil. I have a large boiler because I expect to add more houses. My feed pipe is 3-inch and return 2-inch. Can I use a reducing valve on the feed and a check-valve on the return with good results? I am rather short on 1^-inch pipe, but have plenty of 2-inch. Can I use the latter with good results t How much less would it take? E. K. B. To heat the house 221/^x150 with steam by the use of 2-inch pipe, the house should be provided with a 3-inch flow under the ridge and twelve 2-ineh re- turns, or eighteen IJ^-inch returns. The main return is a little small to supply the two houses. A 4-inch main riser would be better, unless you carry an independ- ent 3-inch flow from the boiler to each house. You can use reducing valves on THE JOHN DAVIS COMPANY Halsted, 22d and Union Sts., CHICAGO MANUFACTURKRS OF Reducing Yilns, Back Presson Ytlies, Steam Traps, Sfean Soedt Tlii* Is wliat one of our customers thinks of our valTes: LiiNCOLN, III., January 8, 1006.

We had a little carnation show instead of a regu- lar meeting, and the show, being given to invited guests, drew quite a crowd. Carnations were given to the ladies as souvenirs. The exhibit, though not large, was good. J. E. Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., showed a vase each of Imperial, Pink Imperial and John E. Haines. The Pink Imperial drew the attention of every- body. Its stem, and that of Imperial, could not be beat. The flowers also were immense. Aristocrat, shown by the Chicago Car- nation Co., of Joliet, 111., was in a class by itself, and, as a good deal has been written about it, I need only say that it bore out all reports. The F. K. Pierson Co., of Tarrytown, N. Y., showed a lot of White En- chantress that were all right and made the writer feel glad that he has a lot of them ordered. Their new Winsor is a beauty, and if we can do it the way they do, it will be one of the best things out. W. E. Hall, of Clyde, O., showed his new red seedling. E. G. Gillett and a number of those present were disap- pointed because stock of it can not yet be bought. We hope it will be out soon. E. W. Hartmann, of Napoleon, O., showed vases of Lady Bountiful and Lawson that were as fine as any. Home products were shown by the following : George Bayer had, besides the regu- lar varieties, a few seedlings of his own. John Gratopp had, heading his list of standard varieties, a large vase of En- chantress that took every eye. E. A. Kuhnke showed a bunch of the newer varieties of carnations, also a few of his seedlings; but the biggest part of his exhibit consisted of cyclamen, Scottii and Piersoni ferns. Asparagus plumosus, and calla lily plants. G. W. Haebich, florist at the State Hospital for the Insane, brought a vase of standard varieties, as well as his white seedling carnation, the latter showing up as a good commercial white, something that we need in this neighborhood. Krueger Bros, showed only a vase of Enchantress in the carnation line, but a few vases of splendid roses made up for Twin City Pottery Mfg. Co. Suooeasors to J. G.

Great Grates. As fast as old grate bars are burned out many growers are putting in the Martin rocking grate. The call for this grate is largely increased by the fact that the growers who have used it for one or more seasons are almost without exception equipping other boilers with 'it. The grate costs considerably more than the stationary bars, but is figured to make a decided saving in fuel, and that is what all the growers are after. ^.

Because they wear. They stand exposure to sunlight and moisture. They are not made of grass or split willow, but from the genuine solid bamboo reeds, imported direct from India for our own use, which makes them admirable for decorat- ing and hard usage. No. 7— Japanese. The BOMBAYREED JARDINIERES are quick sellers, too, because they are extensively advertised in the popular magazines. We create a big demand. They are by far the most artistic and serviceable jardinieres on the market today. We offer liberal trade discounts and solicit your inquiry as to our attractive freight allow- ances. All our* jardinieres are made in nine styles and in all colors. Sizes from four inches up. Flexible pot covers in extra large sizes. Our prices are low and inviting.

Probably every florist who sells Easter plants at retail will have use for more lilies than any other one item of his stock, but there is a great sameness in a store filled full of lilies, and a variety of plants, while it may show by contrast in the sales how important the lily is, will do a great deal to add to the at- tractiveness of the store and will be of much value beyond the mere profit de- rived directly from sales. "Variety will bring to your store many people who would not enter one easily seen to con- tain little but lilies. Even though you may not expect to sell many large plant arrangements, it is wise to have a few for purposes of display. The stock used in fixing up large show pieces usually is not all loss, for most of it can be used in making up work after Easter, and a good show- ing is worth all it costs; not a display beyond the point of reason, but one which will do you credit in a world where appearances count for a great deal. As the Sage of Corfu once ad- vised some young men just starting in business, "Wash all you got, and hang out all you wash." The Lily the Leader. You will no doubt sell a great many lilies, probably the majority in pots with no other embellishment than a crepe paper pot cover, but you will find a good profit in varying the stock by making them up in a number of ways with other plants. The lily goes with everything. We have, indeed, seen Easter UUes and Crimson Rambler roses made up together in baskets and ham- pers, and, despite the fact that one might omit to mention these two as suit- able to combine, they did not look mis- placed. In practically every case the addition of the accessories adds to the selling price, so that the profit on the baskets and ribbon is a better percentage than is made on the plants if sold unadorned. An inexpensive arrangement is the lily shown. If you sold the lilies alone $2 would be the limit for the eight flowers, and the chances are you would not count the bud, so you would get only $1.75. But with the addition of the birch bark box, the light blue bow and a few small ferns, it easily becomes worth $4.50 to $5, according to the kind of trade you cater to. Moderate Priced Plants. Speaking of prices, moderate and other- wise, even the "swellest" stores have to carry some stock which is well within the means of the ordinary purse, not so much for the cheaper transient trade as for the regular wealthy patron who wants something not expensive to send to an acquaintance whose station is just outside the charmed circle. Now, in a big city, where the fashionable stores are, you cannot afford to sell low-priced stuff except at a big profit; expenses of delivery, etc., are too heavy. We know one city retailer who thinks he cannot afford to deliver a purchase at Christ- mas or Easter if he does not make at least a dollar on the sale. Of course he profit in that and the plants looked well worth the money. A W^ord About Baskets. Nowadays the basket is used for every conceivable purpose. There was a time when the basket of flowers led at once to the thought of the sweet girl graduate. But in this later day they send the ward politician a basket of, cowslips, maybe, or flowering dogwood, when he is ap- pointed poundmaster. But the basket never seems out of place when it is of proper color. Frequently the colors are too bright. They should never be of a character to attract the eye from the plants or flowers they contain. The basket should be in keeping with the flowers; light and graceful for cut blooms; heavier for plants and in pro- :3 4 I Easter Lily in Birchbark Box. many times has it to do, but this is the way he fixed up his low-priced stock last year: He bought a spiraea (astilbe) for $1, added one of the ad- justable baskets and a bow of chiffon and marked it $3. He did the same thing with the deutzia. There was good portion to their size. Don't try to fill a big basket with small plants by using more of them. You will only partly suc- ceed.

For Variety. The bougainvillea is a plant which al- ways attracts attention. It does not always please, but a few are useful. The one illustrated was a rather ungainly plant, and not especially well flowered, but it took the eye of every one who entered the store where it stood just before Easter last year : ' * What an odd plant," was the almost invariable comment. It sold for only $3, but it paid. The pot cover was deep green crepe paper outside, and inside a cou]>le of folds of deep red to match the flowers. Of course the rambler roses will be largely in evidence this Easter. Small plants of the Crimson Rambler, and the new ubiquitous Baby Rambler will be used by thousands to make up all sorts of baskets, hampers, etc. Larger, well flowered plants are best with little adorn- ment; possibly only a stone jardiniere of some dark color. The Omnipresent Plants. You will never see an Easter without plenty of azaleas. There are those who vogue. You need little if any ribbon about an azalea. Primroses and bulb stock are the staples of Easter stock, second only to the lily. You can make them up in a hundred ways, at any cost you wish. Several of these staple arrangements Avere shoAvn in last week's Review. Inexpensive Novelties. The average store will be able to sell a great many of the little things like lichen-grown shoes filled with ferns, the small Pompeian jars filled with selag- inella, asparagus, etc.; indeed, many sales Avill be missed if more or less of these things are not shown, both at Christmas and Easter. What you don't sell at one holiday you can lay away for the other. Last year the chicks and goslings were widely used. They went into practically every plant arrangement, whether it was a little one for a table center-piece or a big basket for window display. The department stores got hold of them and made them more common than they would become through florists' use, but that is not likely to injure their popu- larity outside of the extreme set, to whom few of us cater. The ribbon used this season will be more largely chiffon than ever before. * / W" ^^ ^^ f^ ^#5^UH'^^;^ ^iSk« ^^^^ ^.mmM'Ml ^^^Mi^m ^^^^^^B^^ k: '^^^^m ^•_^^^ Spiraea in Adjustable Plant Basket. ^^'N^ say they do not sell as well as they once did. They are best decorated only with a pot cover. Some decorators wrap crepe paper about them until it is an impossibility to see the flowers at all except from above. This is all wrong and fortunately is not often seen since ste for the natural has come into Tlie use of ribbon is increasing steadily, but the tendency is moving from the heavy material once so commonly em- ployed and toward lighter effects. Catskill, N. Y. — ^Henry Hansen says that from all indications Easter trade will break the best records. COLOR COMBINATIONS. The art of color combination is one of the priceless gifts to the florist who pos- sesses it. There is nothing more valu- able to the retailer than a knowledge as to how to handle colors. It is not only a tremendous factor in the success of made-up work and decorations, but em- ployed in a window display it is an ad- vertisement ahead of anything which can be achieved with no special expense. When a window is filled with all sorts of flowers and accessories the result is never so good as it might be with those of one color, and its shades and tints. For instance, one of the most attractive windows in Chicago recently was ar- ranged by O. J. Friedman, all yellow. The flowers were daffodils; the recep- tacles were golden brown; the ribbons were yellow; the green was light aspara- gus. Another attractive display at the same time was that of the Fleischman Floral Co., which was all in shades of purple. The low pieces were filled with violets, larger ones with Dutch hyacinths, and the background was of purple rhododen- drons. The ribbon used was purple and the whole effect was one which would appeal to any artistic taste. THE VALUE OF SYSTEM. Easter is like Christmas in a good many other respects than that it comes but once a year. It brings a rush that overtaxes facilities designed for every- day purposes and brings out the value of system as no other test can show it up. You may have ever so good stock and do a splendid business, bu^ if your system is at fault you will be hopelessly at sea when one of these rushes comes. Because of the difficulty of securing capable help for only a couple of days, in most stores it is the custom for all hands to help sell during business hours and then turn in after closing time and work perhaps the better part of the night getting orders put up for delivery Easter morning. If you work it this way you will save a great deal of fric- tion by having each clerk put up, or at least inspect, the orders he has himself taken. In a hurry time it is impossible to write down all the details of every order and a wide-awake clerk will be on the watch to see that he meets the slight preferences of the customer as he learned of them in making the sale. Where the orders are taken by one person and filled by another it is necessary to get every little detail down on the order if we are to give the fullest satisfaction to the customer. We find order sheets more satisfactory than order books, for several reasons. Ours are fashioned after the charge tickets of a department store, but we make only one copy. The heading of the slips reads, "Deliver to; charge to; day ; hour ; ' ' etc. We make a separate order for every gift a customer may have us send ; the more the merrier. The cards are often a fruitful cause of com- plaint, but we avoid this by entering the word "card" as a part of the order, if one is to be sent. It is checked off like any other part of the order in filling. If we do not have the customer's card as a part of our regular stock the one that is left to go with an order is put in an envelope and attached to the order with a little wire clip. If a special plant is sold the order slip is made out as usual, tag written and attached to the plant, .k Jt;^^^ dUf'i ■ AmJ 3~*^^ ^•> -T **• .3v .

We charge from the filled order slips. When we are selling for a holiday, like Easter, when some stock is wanted for delivery Saturday and some for Sunday morning, we set aside space for each day's deliveries. If a plant arrange- ment is sold for delivery Saturday it goes at once with Saturday 's deliveries, if for Sunday then with Sunday's lot. Of course we divide each lot into smaller lots, according to the part of town they are in, so that they won't get a longer ride than necessary. One great fault with many retail florists, and with a good many of their employees, is a lack of appreciation of the value of promptness. You have to be there on time or there soon won't be any occasion for going there at all. A 20-dollar funeral design is not worth two whoops in the hot place after the late lamented is on the way to the ceme- tery, and excuses in such a case are about the most futile things on earth. What if the wagon did break down, or the messenger boy stop to see a dog fight f You must allow for the unex- pected.

"You will have no trouble if you buy your plants at Roselawn Greenhouse. AE of our plants are grown south and fully acclimated. New plants coming right along every day." This is the advertisement of H. L. !Neal, Seguin, Tex., printed in his local paper. He says that he believes one should ' ' Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you, ' ' but it wasn 't much trouble to get this next to the society column, ' ' a good place for a florist's adv.," and "by night everyone around town was repeating the nonsense verse." Mr. Neal writes: "\ change every week and have no standing adv. 1 read and read again everything you publish about advertising. It is a fine art and your paper has helped me great- ly." EASTER HINTS. How the time does fly I Here we are again, up to Easter time, with its hard work and cares, and another cold winter, with its lessons of successes and failures, behind us ; another year 's experience gained, which, if properly assimilated, should enable ua to step up to a little higher standard than we have attained in the past. Of course Easter time is practically the close of the violet season; near enough, so chat we can draw our conclu- sions as to the season's profits (or losses, which we hope have been nil) and clearly outline our plans for the coming season, that we may have been formulating dur- ing the winter, only waiting for the out- come of this season to make us sure of our demands and opportunities to dis- pose of a larger or smaller crop next year. It is to be presumed that in view of your probable desire to increase, that you have been propagating sufficient stock so that there will be no need of buying, even if you devote considerable more space next year to violet culture. If by any chance you have not as much stock as you wish, if you have taken proper care of your houses, we would still prefer to increase our stock, by separating the crowns, to running the risk of buying stock from other grow- ers, although, as a rule, this is a poor way, as you are so likely to have weak- ened plants which will be more liable to diseases, etc. However, by careful selec- tion and proper care, it will, as a rule, be much better than the stock you will jnirchase from unknown parties and which has been shaken about on the cars. A word of caution may not be amiss liere to some in regard to the houses and blooms; while, as I said, this practically closes the season, still, if the weather continues so much colder than is season- able you should be able to keep the plants in blooming order for some time yet. Every flower picked after Easter, in a way, might be considered clear gain, at least, aside from the time spent in [)i(king tliom. However, it will take but a little carelessness, or neglect in ven- tilating, watering, etc., to speedily ruin tlie flowers, which, at best, will be grow- ing lighter colored and smaller. in sending out your retail order for Easter, or, in fact, any time, be extremely careful of the color tone of any acces- sories in the way of ribbons, cards or what not. It must be just right, or it is worse than nothing. For instance, the shade that would do for Marie Louise would never do for Lady Hume Camp- bell, or vice versa. If you desire a con- trast in shade, never use anything darker than the flowers themselves, for the re- sult, if you do so, will be to cause them ..^^fc^.ft.^.^..T^.A'g-||^.«.^ Hi, ..

Again, in your hurry remember that they are very susceptible to odors of all kinds, and your helpers must not let them lie around, even for a short time, in contact with anything but the regular vases or dishes that you employ espe- cially for them. The same care must be used in regard to the receptacle that they are packed in for delivery. Don 't forget the waxed paper and suitable box and cord, or ribbon, with which it is tied. All of these little things are large fac- tors in making pleased and perfectly satisfied customers, and these are what we all desire and must have to make our business a success, even at some trouble and expense on our part. R. E. Shuphelt. FERNS FROM SPORES. Perhaps a few notes on the art of fern growing as practiced by growers for Covent Garden, London, may be of some interest to the readers of the Re- view. No doubt many American florists have, when visiting England, paid a visit to the garden, and personally wit- nessed the vast quantities of ferns dis- posed of during the course of a morning. To those who are interested from the pecuniary point of view, it may be stated that small ferns, chiefly of the pteris family, are put up in trays containing fifteen 2% -inch pots and sold at 24 cents to 36 cents per tray; some growers selling at the latter price from 200 to 300 boxes during the hours from 4 a. ifi. to 9 a. m., at which latter hour the mar- ket closes. The first care to the successful rais- ing of ferns from spores is to get a sup- ply of spores from fronds fully matured and of perfect form, and collect from plants that have shown vigorous growth from the commencement. You may pos- sibly find the spores overripe, in which case they are hardly worth taking. To determine when they are just fit, one must be guided by the color. Of course different species have different colors, such as yellow in Polypodium aureum, dark brown in pteris, and so on; but in the majority of instances it is easily discovered by passing the finger over the spore-cases and if the spores adhere they are usually in a fit state to collect. The fronds, when collected, should be wrapped in a piece of paper, named and dated and laid upon a hot pipe for a week or so, by which time they ought to be quite dry and in a fit state to shake out and sow. Prepare quite new 5-inch pots, sterilize the soil and burn or bake some virgin soil black. Don't burn it brown, for two reasons: It holds too close together, and black soil, by showing the spores as you are sowing, enables you to determine how thick they are. The query may arise, why use burnt soil when the soil is sterilized? First, to assist in sowing the spores, and, sec- ond, because it does not take the dreaded moss and fungus so readily. Crock your pots well, place the steril- ized soil therein, carefully make firm and even, put your burnt soil on top, place the pot in a clean saucer and fill the saucer with water drawn from the main and not from a tank, thus avoid- ing the risk of getting the spores of aliens. Make quite sure your pot drinks well before sowing; that is to say, see that the pot gets thoroughly saturated and the mold gets wet upward from the bottom and your burnt soil on top is quite moist all over. Now everything is ready for sowing. Be careful there are no draughts, else you will lose thousands of spores, besides getting them hopelessly mixed. One slight tap under the paper is usually sufficient to distribute enough spores to cover your pot; don't overdo it; it is easier to sow too many than too thinly. Place a glass over the top of the pot, and if you place the pots just under a hot pipe in a greenhouse, you will find that there will be very little condensa- tion on the glass in the morning. Should there be any water, however, under the glass, turn it over. The next stage, when the prothallus appears, calls for your greatest judg- ment; for it is now when the success, or otherwise, of your efforts will be de- termined. Your pots will be covered with prothallus, which, when examined under a microscope, looks truly pretty. It is advisable at this stage not to keep the saucers constantly filled with water, as you are liable to have damping off take place, and it is exceedingly dif- ficult to prevent it when once started. Rely upon the appearance of the pots themselves and watch your prothallus and water accordingly. SRould you by an oversight allow a pot to become too dry.

When the little fronds appear in places, immediately prick off in flats, not flats large enough to prick off seed- ling quercus into, but handy flats two inches deep, 71/2x141/2- This size you will find quite deep enough. By the time the roots reach the bottom they will be large enough to pot on. Don't make the mistake of letting your plants get so large that the roots require to be torn apart when potting, and have your loam mixed with a third of sifted peat with a dash of sand; this prevents the soil from caking. The other stages must be described at a future date. Finally, attend to shad- ing. Your pots won't hurt if under a stage near a pipe, but you must bring them into greater light to harden them off a little before they are fit to prick off, and at all times protect them from brilliant sunshine. Langley Tudor. recommended by E. Lockerbie and W. B. Patterson, Jr. It consisted of bran or corn-meal, Paris green and enough syrup to make it sweet, the mixture to be spread alongside the plants and around the benches. On Friday morning, the last day of the convention, E. Lockerbie, referring to the growing of carnations in the south, said that a different style of liouse, such as is used in the north, should be established here. More atten- tion should be paid to ventilation, so as to get the benefit of fresh air and pro- tection from insects. The closing discussion Friday evening was in reference to two important shrubs of Louisiana — Magnolia fuscata and sweet olive. Thus far the propagation has been made from layers, which make good plants, but the process is slow. E. Baker and others thought that the plants can be grown successfully from cuttings, grafts and seeds. Several members wanted to know how to keep Aspidistra lurida from reverting to green. P. A. Chopin and B. M. Wich- ers advised giving the plants rather poor soil, starved plants showing more varie- gation than those in rich soil. To hear J. A. Newsham tell it, orchid culture is the simplest thing imaginable. He is just now starting in to supply the south with cut blooms of orchids, and we hope he finds it the simple matter his talk on the subject would indicate. In speaking of growing mums, he said that no doubt protection must be provided to finish the flowers perfectly, owing to the climate and the number of insect pests one has to contend with in the south, but a good grade of commercial flower can be raised in New Orleans if grown outdoors and protected by glass as soon as the buds appear. Paul Abele told of his method of grow- ing Harrisii lilies in pots, which he has tried for the first time this year, and which has turned out a perfect success. He expects to have his stock in fine shape for Easter. M. M. L. CONVENTION HINTS. At the annual convention of the So- ciety of Southern Florists, held at New Orleans, February 14 to 16, there were some interesting discussions, more or less spontaneous. In one of these discus- sions B. M. Wichers gave a remedy for destroying cutworm on nephrolepis. The formula is as follows: One level tea- spoonful of Paris green, one teaspoon- ful of lime diluted in five gallons of water. Sprinkle the plants and foliage at intervals of a week.

SPACE FOR MUMS. Will 9x9 inches besuflBcient room to produce a good grade of commercial mums, two flowers to a plant, of such varieties as Eaton and Chadwick, planted about June 1? How much headroom should Monrovia have if buds are taken about August 1? G. J. B. I would say that a distance of 9x9 inches, planting chrysanthemums to grow two stems to a plant, will produce a fair grade of flowers, but not the best. Personally, I grow most of my kinds that distance and take up only one shoot. That flower I expect to wholesale in the neighborhood of 50 cents. Whether or not G. J. B. 's mar- ket runs that way, is for him to say. My own idea is to grow the very finest grade of flowers, but I realize that, in many cities, such a grade cannot be marketed at a profit. I sold the White Duckham (Miss Clay Frick) at $1 each, wholesale, in New York last fall, but I question if any other city in the coun- try would pay the price, or even New York for a great quantity. Varieties like Ivory, that have very small foliage, can be grown much closer than the average kinds and, if G. J. B. is familiar with his sorts, he can save much space and still produce a fine grade of flowers. Monrovia, planted June 1 and the early bud taken, should have ample room in three feet six inches of head- room. If plants were very small it might not need even that, while, if plants were in good shape at planting time, it probably would need fully that space. Monrovia brought a phenomenal price last year and almost every florist has his calculations made for a batch of it this year. Whether they will all succeed in getting it early is another question, and whether the market will be so bare of other flowers as it was last fall is still another. Charles H. Totty. CHRYSANTHEMUM NOTES.- WEST Propagating. The chrysanthemum is our grand fall flower and it is now* getting time to make preparations for another season. We must see that we will be well sup- plied with good stock to plant on the benches when the proper time is at hand. If you have retained stock plants from last fall they should be in a good posi- tion and should by this time have made good, strong growth. Most varieties should have a second batch' of cuttings ready if properly taken care of. They grow very rapidly as spring approaches and from now on will go ahead fast. Every grower is interested in knowing how to get the best cuttings. They are generally produced by potting the earli- est batch of cuttings in 2-inch or 2%- inch pots and when well started planting the young stock out on a good, light, airy bench. Set them about four inches each way in four or five inches of almost any kind of good, rich soil. If you have bought cuttings of new and expensive varieties and have them in 2-inch or 2i/4-inch pots, when well rooted around they can be shifted into 4-inch pots and if desired can be later used to plant in the bench for blooming, in case you are short of stock. But I prefer 2-inch to 2M!-inch stock for plant- ing on the benches. If you have your young plants in a good place on the bench they should be producing fine cuttings by this time. As soon as the cuttings reach the usual length, cut them with a sharp knife. Trim up your cuttings by removing one or two of the bottom leaves. This de- pends much on the variety or character of the cuttings, as on some it is not necessary to take off any of the leaves, only to tip them up a bit so as not to use up too much space in the bench. Now they are ready for the sand and ought to get in at once. Never let the cuttings lie around after having been taken from the plants. We have known growers who left them for hours, but they should be out of the sand only the shortest possible time, as they wilt very fast and it is a great drawback in root- ing.

The shippers are desirous of having some plan adopted whereby each shipment may carry marks showing weight and correct amount of charges to be paid by consignee on arrival at destination, and to this end a committee consisting of Eoy McGregor, of The McGregor Bros. Co., and Leman Bradford, of The Springfield Floral Co., was appointed to confer with the express agents and endeavor to formulate a plan for the use of the members of the club. While some of the shippers are accustomed to notify each and every customer by means of a postal-card of having made a shipment and stating the amount of charges to be paid, others thought this an unnecessary waste of labor and post- age and that the express companies should devise such safeguards against overcharges as to render such a notice unnecessary. The agents present ex- pressed a willingness to take up the matter with their respective companies, only one of the oflBces having authority in the matter at the present time. It was stated, however, that the extra work involved would probably necessitate the employment of an extra man. in each oflSce in order to properly mark each shipment, the calling and billing now being done in a very rapid manner dur- ing the busy portion of each day. As a return favor, the agents in- quired as to the possibility of the ex- press companies carrying a considerably larger portion of the 10-cent, 15-cent and 25-cent packages which are being sent quite generally by mail, the argu- ment being advanced that they give a receipt for each shipment, which Uncle Sam does not do, and carry it just as quickly and more safely for 2 cents less on the average shipment under four pounds weight. The larger shippers practically stated that the express com- panies were welcome to help themselves to whatever they might find in their mailing rooms which could be carried to advantage. A vote of thanks was tendered to the agents for their presence and free dis- cussion of the various subjects touched upon, and the joint conference was con- ceded to have been decidedly beneficial to all concerned. Ge Dale. CHURCH DECORATIONS. The accompanying illustration shows a typical Easter church decoration of the better class, such a decoration as many florists are called upon to put up in more or less elaborate form every year in one or more houses of worship for the Sabbath morning when all nature dons its spring attire. The illustration is prepareu from a photograph made by the George "Wittbold Co. Easter morn- ing, 1906, and now used as a means of securing orders for similar worK for the approaching Easter. It gives not only an idea of how they treated the audito- rium,which is such a one as is not easily decorateu, but it suggests the thought that any florist who has facilities to spare for outside work at Easter can easily get this kind of orders by suggest- ing the subject in good season to the church people of his neighborhood. It also brings to mind the remark of a cer- tain wholesaler who was arguing that the price of lilies should not be greatly ad- vanced this year simply because Easter is early and some growers will not have their stock ready. Said he: "The bulk of the lilies are used for church deco- rations, and church people are not those with the most money, or the freest spend- ers. Put your prices too high and you shut off the buying and use of lilies. ' ' The usual retail price of lilies, 25 cents per bud, is about all that can oe expected if any quantity are to be sold, and in large decorations it is often necessary to shaue this considerably. But the deco- rator should always make a profit on the stock he uses, on his time and facilities and nave something left to compensate him for his special abilities in the line of artistic work. GROFFS HYBRID GLADIOLI. In Mr. Childs' comment on my re- marks before the American Breeders' Association he goes on to say that if perchance one should happen to find a good color among my hybrids, the same color could be found among Lemoine's hybrids. I passed this over in my re- ply, but who ever heard that any originator had a monopoly of color when all have access to the original species, the source of all existing colors and combinations of color? Mr. Childs seems to have forgotten that my early hybrids were awarded the prize at New York in 1900 by the So- ciety of American Florists over his com- bined sections of Lemoine, Childsi and Gandavensis. Surely such a competent jury found some other quality than color against the exhibit of the world's largest grower, at home. In 1901 the Pan-American exposi- tion gave my hybrids a gold medal over competition well known to Mr. Childs. Their judges, too, chanced to discover the good colors — and something else. M. PhiUppe de Vilmorin, of Vilmorin, Audrieux & Co., Paris, France, one of the best informed men in the world, whose firm is an extensive handler of Lemoine and other high-class French hybrids, came repeatedly to the exhibits lUUjHiBikMtti^ki II 1 iiii ill i'itf 'Viri r "^i i J 350 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Mabch 21. 1907. of my hybrids at the Pan-American exposition and St. Louis world's fair. I also met him by invitation at the French pavilion at the latter exposi- tion. He there repeated his remarks on my purpureo-auratus hybrids, better known as the Lemoine section, and said: "Mr. Groff, I am specially interested in your improvement on the Lemoine type, the great number of new varieties, the high quality and beauty of the colors, but above all the strong spikes of handsome, wide-open flowers as com- pared with the usual cowled types of that section." II. H. Gbopf. SWEET PEAS. It is important for the successful cul- tivation of sweet peas that the seed be sown as early as possible. As it is well known that sweet peas are fond of good food and drink, the best time to lay in a stock of both for them is before the seed is put in the ground. And the way of doing that in the most satisfactory manner I have found to be to dig a trench, at least eighteen inches in depth, filling it in afterward with well-rotted manure and soil in equal parts, with the addition of a sprinkling of bone meal, to within about four inches of the grade, whereon I sow the seed. Treated in that manner and cared for throughout a prolonged season of flower- ing, I sold $150 worth of flowers from four rows, each twenty-five feet long, selling the flowers at 40 cents per hun- dred. When the peas are well up above the ground, a little soil may be drawn up to them and the process repeated at in- tervals as growth proceeds. The sup- porting brush should be put down be- fore the plants show signs of falling over; in fact, the sooner after they are up they are brushed the better. The rows of sweet peas should be at least four feet apart, and six inches more will do no harm. Keep the soil, between the rows and right up to the plants, well worked continually and never allow weeds to get a hold, chick- weed in particular, because once it gets a hold it is hard to make it let go. If the season is very dry it will pay to apply good drenchings of water to the soil and this is doubly beneficial if some fertilizer is previously applied to be washed in by the water. Keep cutting all the flowers as they appear and expand. E. E. CARNATION NOTES— VEST. Storing; Easter Stock. It ought not to be necessary to say a word about pickling stock, but every year we hear of a few who have made the mistake. To the credit of the craft it can be said, however, that as a rule it is done by inexperienced growers who simply were unable to judge reasonably how long a cut bloom can be kept in a salable condition and how much handling a bloom will stand after being kept a certain length of time. To those I want to say a word about how to handle the cut in order to keep as many blooms as possible in first-class condition. To begin with, I will say that there is a great deal of difference in varieties and you can keep some of them several days longer than others and keep them better. For instance. Enchantress can not be kept nearly as long as Lawson and when it is fully developed and water- soaked it will not stand much handling without bruising around the edges and becoming unsalable. You need a place which will run about 48 degrees in which to keep the blooms. In this temperature development will go on slowly and the blooms will be better than if kept too cool. It should be about half dark and well ventilated, though not draughty. A vrcek before Easter cut every bloom that is open, whether you need it or not, so that you will not be tempted to put away a lot of blooms that will be sure to be overdone long before you want to use them. Then cut everything that is far enough along to develop in water. Varieties differ some in that respect, too. Grade them into bunches so ' that the blooms in each bunch will be just about alike in regard to development. Tie in bunches of twenty-five and put the same number of bunches in each vase. This will save much handling later on, and the less they are handled the better for them. Put a tag on each vase with the date of cutting and when you need blooms during the middle of the week you will have no trouble in finding the oldest ones. Gather the blooms every day, so that all will be in nearly the same state of development, and none will be too far developed to keep well. Cut the stems every second day and don't crowd too many in a vase. Most varieties we grow these days have strong enough stems to hold them upright for some time, but those that are inclined to be a trifle weak at the time of cutting will not hold the blooms up when fully developed and must be supported. To shove them down into deep vases will crowd the blooms too much, so we have invented a wire con- trivance which has served us well. Make a wire ring that will fit into the inside of your vase; then make another ring about eighteen inches across. Eun three wires about eighteen inches long from the one to the other. Set this support into the vase and the blooms inside of it. You can make the upper ring larger or smaller to suit your case and the up- right wires the same, but we find that a ring the size mentioned will encompass about 150 blooms without crowding them. Your vase can be quite shallow if you use heavy wire and, in fact, we prefer to use vases or buckets which are not over twelve inches deep, as it allows the air to pass between the stems and among the blooms. Look the blooms over carefully every time you cut the stems, and if you have any doubt about any of them keeping in first-class condition, get them out and sold while they are yet in good shape. In tying the bunches, wrap the string around the bottom five or six times to hold the bunch; then tie a string loosely around the bunch just below the blooms, to prevent the blooms of one bunch get- ting mixed with those^jof other bunches. This vpill save many broken stems when taking them out of the vases to pack up. A. F. J. Baur. A MILLION CUTTINGS. The illustration on page 1351 will perhaps give some idea of the immense proportions to which Jhe rooted cutting business has attained with western growers. The photograph was made at the establishment of the Chicago Carna- tion Co., at Joliet, 111., and shows the propagating house 30x150 feet filled with its third batch of cuttings. There are 300,000 cuttings in the sand and it is the third time this season the house has been full of stock. A. T. Pyfer, manager of the establishment, states that they have in all propagated over a mil- lion cuttings this season. Most of the cuttings in the house at present are Aristocrat and White Per- fection, the latter variety being in their estimation only second to their season's novelty. They say Aristocrat has been a wonderful producer with them all sea- son, that the crop ias been remarkably Bench of Carnations with the Heim Support. ^..^^ . -i'r-riiilfiM JMMfltriimliMMiiii ■^■"-'-^'' r> . ■ - - ^ ' March 21, 1907.

If you make a ])oint of growing rambler roses it is time to think about securing and potting up stock for use another season. A good many growers pot up field-grown ])hints in tiie fall and force them, often with disappoint- ing results. We see far too many of them in the markets with puny heads of flowers and sickly looking foliage. This is not to lie wondered at. If you want first-class ramblers to force they must have the pots well filleak strong anots, using good loam with a little bone meal. Do not mix a lot of manure in tlie soil; it will produce . rank, leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Plants carrying a good truss of l)loom sell l)etter than larger and nu)re lux- uriant plants devoid of flowers. Give the ])lants what room you can and just ;is soon as Easter flowering stock is out of the way give them an adr, a light, cool, airy house and if nicely opened they will carry w(dl in a ])it just clear of freezing, where the atmosphere is dry. Propagation of Bedding Plants. The ))ropagating liench should b»^ kejit well filled with alternantheras, colons, ageratums, heliotropes and other bedding ]dants. They root quickly now and they should be jiotted ofl' befori- they become hard and spindling. To eas(^ the ovei'crowding now so general in our houses we rely on hotbeds for raising many of these ])lants. A foot of warm horse manure which has been mixed with leaves will give a steady heat for some weeks, j>roviding it has been moist and well trampled ui)on. The use of frames from now on will nuiterially rcdieve the crowding in the houses.

Shadioe. The sun is becoming increasingly powerful and many plants will demand shade, if you have not already given it to them. It is unwise to put on a heavy coat of shade yet. We may have a long spell of dark weather in the next two months, although clear skies ought to be our lot after what we ex- perienced in December and January. Palms and ferns should have shade without delay, if not already given. A thin coating of kerosene and white lead can be laid on with a brush, or sprayed on with a force pump. In the latter case be sure to close the ven- tilators before applying it. Easter flowering stock, of course, should be in a cool, shaded and airy house when sufficiently advanced. Cin- erarias, gloxinias, begonias and cycla- mens, all need shade. To keep the dark blue color in your late frame vio- lets some shade should also be applied. It is also necessary whei*e quantities of young seedlings are being raised. A thin coat only, however, should be given just now. Seed Sowing. Successional sowings of asters, ten weeks' stocks and Phlox Drummondi can be made. The following can also be sown: Zinnias, Cobsea scandens (place the seed on edge), nasturtiums for boxes and vases, balsams, Gypsophila paniculata, Pyrethrum Golden Feather, marigolds, maurandia, annual coreopsis, salpiglossis, musa, Lavatera arborea variegata and impatiens. Many small seedlings will be making rapid growth now and time should be found to prick them off in flats before they crowd and spoil one another. Easter Preparations. The busiest time of the year is ap- proaching for both growers and re- tailers. See to it that you have such additional help hired as may be needed. These novices will be unable to wrap up plants and do similar work as your Stake the lilies if they need it. Don't forget to give all a liberal supply of water some time before they are sent to the store, or to your retail customers. It is difficult to prognosticate weather conditions. Possibly we may have cold, frosty winds, in which case a good deal of wrapping will be necessary. This means considerable additional labor and cost, but must be done if you want plants to reach your customers un- harmed. Tlie decoration of many plants is heavily overdone. Well-grown and flowered plants are little improved by a lot of trimming, but often a rather poorly formed plant can be materially improved by a little judicious "fixing up." Be sure not to use loud deco- rative trimmings, or any which do not harmonize with the plants you wish to sell. Do tiot tell your customers you will deliver the plants and flowers they buy "right away quick" when you have no idea of doing so. Plan, however, to send as near the time you promise . them as possible. Punctuality in this respect may mean many dollars in your pockets another season. A satisfied customer is the best advertisement you can have. Dahlias. While there still is ample time to start your dahlias and have them bloom well, if you desire to work up a stock of any special varieties they should be started right after Easter. Cuttings taken off when a few inches long will root freely in sand and make even bet- ter flowering plants than the big roots themselves. Late planted stock will give fully as fine blooms as the early batches. Keep them trained to a sin- gle stem after planting outdoors, or pinch the plants back as far as the first leaves. It will then throw up sev- eral shoots, will have a neat branching habit and need no staking. SEEN AT CLIFTONDALE.

The prin- cipal one is 30x360 and contains five rows, the varieties grown being Christ- mas and Mont Blanc. Violets were grown between the peas until quite re- cently. It is a truly magnificent sight to walk between these long avenues of sweet peas smothered with bloom, stems running up to two feet in length. From 7,000 to 10,000 sprays have been picked daily for some time, but Mr. Sim expects to have 60,000 from this house alone for the Easter trade. An- other house of similar length but some- what narrower contains other varieties in almost every imaginable shade of color. Many are A. C. Zvolanek's va- rieties; others are Mr. Sim's own selec- tions. Beautiful lavender, soft pink and other colors many of these are, but their sale is somewhat limited, as the retail florists seem afraid to handle more than one or two shades. They get into a rut and imagine that their customers don't want novelties, "whereas these are just what critical customers most desire. Single violets are a great specialty here, the whole establishment being planted with them and followed by sweet peas and tomatoes, the sweet peas themselves being followed by cu- cumbers. We were particularly inter- ested in the new single violet, Boston, which occupies half a house 30x360. The leaves are heavy. The flower stalks are dotted with hairs. The flow- ers are of excellent form, immense in size, carried on stiff stems and a little paler than Princess of Wales. A bunch of fifty flowers more than equals one of seventy-five Princess of Wales. The habit is quite distinct from Princess. The plant is vigorous and a persistent bloomer. At the time of our visit it was smothered with magnificent flow- ers. It will be largely grown another season and introduced, we believe, in 1908. The largest house containing Princess of Wales is of the ridge and furrow type, 63x200. As many as 117,000 flow- ers were picked from this on March 13 last year and it is fully as good this season. The Easter pick of single vio- lets is expected to be 200,000. A num- ber of frames are planted for a late crop. These were still covered with meadow hay, snow and ice. Some 30,000 tomatoes were in 3-inch and 4-inch pots to follow the violets. Comet is the only variety grown. A batch of 2,200 plants of an improved selection was noted. In addition 20,- 000 are grown outdoors, all again being Comet. These were just pricked off in flats and being strong plants when set out yield an early and profitable crop. As usual, everything at Cliftondale was in apple-pie order and it is worthy of a long journey to see how well every- thing is done. W. N. C. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. Exhibition Notes. The exhibition hall, located, as it was, several feet below the street, made an admirable temperature for the flow- ers, the weather being murky and warm. The spacious floor was well filled with the most magnificent cut blooms and plants ever seen in Washington, but there was room for more. The entries of roses and of carnations for the local club's prizes were especially fine. P. H. Kramer, of Washington, was probably the most successful exhibitor, receiving about thirty first and second awards on his entries. Among the most attractive displays were twenty-five plants of rambler roses, . ... ^^A i'ifA^.f -^ ■-'''^"'-'■-^ iTi ■ f*4l r ^■^■"-JW'^'- '*-^ ■^•- --" » -V.T-r -.v.^,,. Mabch 21, 1907.

The service was late, for the guests did not .reach the hotel until 8:30, because of the interest taken in the discussions at the closing session of the Rose Society. Peter Bisset, president of the local club, occupied the chair, while Toastmaster Joseph Freeman introduced the speak- ers in flowery language. Prof. Charle- magne Koehler 's tragic recital of ' ' The Horse Race," an imitation of comic opera and ' ' Lockery Setting a Hen, ' ' provoked prolonged applause. Robert Kift sang a comic song, a take-off on the Rose Society, which was received with much hilarity. The speakers were as follows: "Washington, the City Beautiful," by Commissioner McFarlane. ' ' The Department of Agriculture and Its Work for Horticulturists," by Dr. B. T. Oalloway. "Our Country," by Simon Wolf. ' * The American Rose Society, ' ' by President Robert Simpson.

In the bowling contest held at the Rathskeller between Philadelphia, Bal- timore and Washington teams, the Washingtonians were victorious and re- ceived the cup, valued at $50, offered by F. H. Kramer. J. L. C. TWO DAYS IN WASHINGTON. The Rose Meeting. The exhibition of the American Rose Society held in the Light Infantry Ar- mory last week was one of great inter- est to every rose grower. The feature of the exhibition was the wonderful im- provement shown in the production of Richmond. There were a number of vases of fifty or 100 flowers each that surpassed any rose, excepting only American Beauty, that I have ever seen at a show. The flowers were large, per- fect and richly colored) the stems extra long and heavy, while the foliage, one of this "rose's chief glories, was ideal. The whole Richmond exhibit of several hundred flowers was an inspiration to every grower present. Killarney, too, was in finer form than I have ever seen it. The flowers were large and beauti- fully colored, reminding one of the Cot- tage Maid tulips in this respect, but the stems were most extraordinary, for with most eastern growers Killarney comes with rather short stems and here were stems thirty to thirty-six inches long. They were said to be from graft- ed plants, precluding the possibility of bottom breaks, as in Richmond, and in- vestigation proved they had in some cases been twice disbudded. The rules expressly say that such flowers shall be disqualified. The judges evidently thought diffeiently. I heartily endorse their action. The general scarcity of American Beauties was evidenced by there being but one vase of fifty flowers. From a plantsman's standpoint the Wichuraiana hybrids alone were worth going miles to see. Perfect specimens probably three and a half feet hig^ clothed with their hardy foliage down to the tub and covered with clusters of tiny blooms that were a sight. The new roses, especially E. G. Hill's red, were very interesting. ■ K^.i:-.x i^u ■-.■y9.\rr^ ■'',''/»■■"■ J 354 The Weekly Florists' Review* MABCn 21, 10Q7. Queen Beatrice. TImrsday morning F. If.

They grow in light, sandy soil with less attention than most any other roses. Variety of Treatment. The various ways in which these i)lants may h(f grown as decorative i)lants in the garden are several: They may be trained in j)yranud form on posts set in; the ground about eigiit and one-half feet iiigh, or in bush form. They can be grown as windbreaks on a trellis. They also make fine specimens when grown as .standards aliout four feet higli. They are being used largely at the present time for ]iergolas and archways and, when necessary, may Ite grown as ground roses trailing on tiie surface. They are ad- mirably suited for covering rocks and stumps of trees. When used for i)ergolas, the posts should be set about ten feet apart and eight anil one-half feet high. For (puck t'ft'ect three plants to the post will reach the top and partly cover over the first year. Two ])lants usually are sufficient unless immediate effect is desired. Effect of New Race. In 1903 there were ft'w climbing roses which proved satisfactory, Queen of the Prairie and Baltimore Belle being the two varieties mostly called for. While these made ra))id growth and gave fine effect tiiey were subject to the attacks of insects and, unless sharply looked after, shed their foliage and becanu^ an eye- sore. The hybrid Wichnraiana and mul- tiflora arc more desirable, l)eing Jess lia- ble to the attacks of insects, and they produce hundreds of blooms more to the plant than the old varieties of climbing roses. The eft'ect in the hanly rose garden produced by this new race of roses is marvelous and bewildering, almost beau- tiful beyond description where fine speci- mens may be seen in the various colors, single and double flowers. This effect could not V)e attained until the advent of these roses. The}' are ornamental when out of flower, as the foliage is distinct and shiny in nuuiy of the variiHies, some having the aj)iH>arance of being var- nished, as it were. Another most valu- able consideration is the second crop of blooms jtroduced by a few of the varie- ties, in Septend)er, contiiuung until the frost sets in. To Obtain Best Results. To obtain the best res\ilts when j)lant- ing ramblers it is well to dig the hole two and one-half feet deep and about three feet wide, enriching the soil with orcelain pink with the base of the })etals yellow, flow- ers from one inch ami a (juarter to an inch and a half in diometer. Delight is considered l)y some to be one of the best of recent introductions. Its color is crimsrn with base of petals whit<> and has dark, shiny foliage. Jackson Dawson raised \aliuiblc and most desirabl(! \arietit>s, such as The Dawson, W. ('. l''gan, Fariiuhar and oth- ers. W. A. Maiida, of South Orange, New Jersey, has furnished such grand varieties as Manda 's Trium])h and Fa- vorite; and others jia\«' ad. Then, in- deed, we shall ha\-e realized our highest expectations. The American raised hy- lirifls give great satisfaction in ICuropc and the continent and are marvels of beauty when in bloom, almost baffling de- scription.

The Society of American Florists ap- peared before the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington Friday and Saturday of last week, March 15 and 16. Some twenty or twenty-five officers and members of the society were pres- ent and evidence was offered by Frank L. Moore, Chatham, N. J.; L. M. Noe and Eobert Schultz, Madison, N. J.; Adolph Farenwald, Eoslyn, Pa.; F. H. Traendly, New York City, and W. J. Stewart, Boston. The evidence was for the purpose of proving rates which were charged prior to and after a date upon which the United States Express Co. arbitrarily raised its charges for han- dling cut flowers in the vicinity of New York. Two hours and a half were con- sumed in presenting the evidence. On the following day representatives of the express company presented their side of the case, seeking to show the perish- able character of the goods and the high value, combining to render a rate higher than that charged for merchan- dise justifiable. Those who attended the session give it as their opinion that the three mem- bers of the commission who listened to the evidence were favorably disposed towards the florists. The express com- pany now has fifteen days in which to file a brief and the S. A. F. has ten days to reply, so that no decision may be expected inside of thirty days. PACKING PLANTS FOR EXPORT. Every year, as the season for the sale of soft-wooded stuff comes round, says the Horticultural Advertiser (English), we hear grievous complaints as to heavy losses among plants received from abroad and also exported from this country. Many nurserymen say that they have so many complaints and that the business is so unsatisfactory that they now de- cline foreign trade, unless done upon a cash-with-order basis, with a repudiation of all responsibility. From our own experience we are con- vinced that apart from such accidents as being placed too near the boilers, and similar risks of travel, a large propor- tion of this worry and loss may be avoided by proper care and system. The trouble arises mainly from two causes — immature plants and improper packing. When we were in this line we had regular customers for new zonals in the States and elsewhere, to whom we sent soft-wooded plants annually with inva- riable success; so much so, that some of our customers used to have plants sent to us from other raisers to be dispatched with our own goods. Our first point was to select healthy, forward plants, which were kept without crowding, well exposed to the light until May, when they were placed outside to harden, but in such position that lights could be run over them on a cold night. After a week or two of this treatment the plants assumed a hard, woody appearance at the base and were then ready for dispatch. In packing, the plants were taken out of the pots and the balls well secured either in paper traveling pots or by tying up in moss; this done, they were placed in a box, one layer on each side, with the tops meeting in the middle. This opera- tion requires a little care to make a firm job, but is not really difficult if one row at a time be placed firmly in position and then secured by fixing a square lath over the shoulder of the balls; the lath being nailed through the box ends. A few ventilating holes for the tops of the plants must not be forgotten. Bore these with a brace and bit before doing anything else, and tack a patch of per- forated zinc over each to exclude vermin. The processes described demand time and care, but it pays better to receive a con- signment with ninety-five per cent alive and ready to start than a mass of half rotten stuff, even if the packing charges are a little heavier. Also, it goes with- out saying, that if the buyer who cuts prices down to cost of production expects his plants to be cared for as above de- scribed he will probably be grievously disappointed. THE DEATH ROLL. Charles W. Seeley. Charles W. Seeley, of Eochester, N.Y., died March 10 at the residence of Ed- ward Hannah, 226 Merriman street. Mr. Seeley was born at Greenwich, Saratoga county, in 1829, and removed to Eoches- ter in 1835 with his parents, two broth- ers and three sisters. He became asso- ciated with the late James Vick on the editorial staff of the Genesee Farmer. In 1844 he established the Union Nurs- eries. Later he again became associated with James Vick, his brother-in-law, act- ing as editor of Vick's Quarterly, which was superseded by Vick's Magazine. Mr. Seeley had quite a reputation as a botanist. Among the things he possessed was a fine collection of ferns. He was also greatly interested in grapes and once owned a fine vineyard at Vine Val- ley, on Canandaigua lake. He is credited with having originated several varieties of this fruit. He was a landscape artist of some repute. He drew the plans for Eochester 's most beautifully planted street, Portsmouth Terrace, which was made after the death of James Vick, twenty-five years ago. As a writer on horticultural subjects, Mr. Seeley was widely known. Among his productions were "Language of Flowers," "How to Make a Lawn," "Farmer's Handbook" and a popular card game designed to teach botany. He edited * * How to Grow Flowers, ' ' pub- lished in West Grove, Pa. He was a charter member of the Western New York Horticultural Society, which he joined in 1857. James Draper. James Draper, who died at Worces- ter, March 13, was one of the best known of the pioneer market garden- ers, nurserymen and all around horti- culturists in Massachusetts. He was born in Worcester, August 31, 1842. At the age of 18 years he began doing business as a market gardener and at this was very successful, becoming one of the largest producers in the Wor- cester section. He grew small fruits on a large scale and finding a heavy demand for stock of the sort he grew, he branched out and established the Bloomingdale Nurseries, issuing his first catalogue in 1867, which was then quite a unique affair. A general vari- ety of nursery stock was grown and the reputation of his nurseries spread all over New England. The deceased also manufactured ce- ment drain and sewer pipes and was one of the originators and constructors of the Worcester and Shrewsbury rail- road. He was an active member of the Worcester Horticultural Society for many years, was one of the originators and first president of the Massachusetts Fruit Growers' Association, trustee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Col- lege and held a number of civic ap- pointments at various times. He was also past-master of the Massachusetts State Grange. The interment on March 17 was largely attended, a delegation from the Worcester Horticultural So- ciety being included. W. N. C. . John C Garden, John C. Garden, a gardener of Ana- costia, D. C, died at his home on !Min- nesota avenue, March 11, aged 57 years. He came of a family of Scotch florists and was educated as such in the old country, but changed to the vegetable in- dustry after coming to America, though much attention was given to growing bedding plants. Deceased was a son of the late Alexander Garden, and half- brother of Alexander B. Garden, the well-known grower of Washington. J. L. C. BOSTON. The Market Flowers are now shortening up quite perceptibly. Growers are holding back as much stock as possible and as a consequence prices have stiffened some- what all around. Eoses are equal to all demands, but are realizing good prices. Brides continue a little scarce. Beauties are improving, but do not sell so readily as Eichmond, which has displaced the older rose to a large ex- tent with many buygrs. Killarney is coming extra fine, as is Chatenay and Wellesley. Carnations are making much better prices, whites continuing to sell as well as the colored sorts. Enchantress is still the leading sort on the market. Violets are abundant. Good stock averages 50 cents per hun- dred, poor grades going lower. Higher prices will prevail in a few days. Sweet peas are of superlative ex- cellence and more abundant than in June and July. Mont Blanc and Ear- liest of All continue the leading sorts, few 'of the other shades being seen. Prices on these have improved. In ad- dition to the general run of narcissi, tulips and hyacinths, which are clear- ing out better, there are ixias, white and scarlet anemones, tritomas, and other spring bulbous stock seen. Callas and Easter lilies are just enough for demands and higher prices are being asked. Many growers, in spite of the warmer weather, will miss getting many of their lilies in season and in- dications are that there will be none too many of these to go around. There is a good supply of fine valley. Gar- denias also are more plentiful. Cat- tleyas are scarce, a few Trianae and Schroederjana only being seen. Green supplies remain about the same. Carnations at Ellis. The new scarlet. Beacon, is the lead- ing attraction at Peter Fisher's this season. Some 20,000 plants are grown and while many plants have been used for cuttings rather than bloom produc- tion, it was easy to note that this new scarlet is a wonderfully prolific vari- ety. Color, stem and general habit seem to be ideal.

In seedlings are one or two new sorts which Mr. Fisher thinks may even beat Beacon. In whites, Lady Bountiful was not doing so well as in the previous year. "White Lawson was excellent. White Perfection will be more largely planted. Its habit is rather poor, but the flower is of magnificent size and substance and absolutely pure in color at all times. Alma Ward was pleasing, immense flowers of excellent form car- ried on fine stems. It should displace Prosperity. Evangeline, one of Mr. Fisher's seedlings of a lovely salmon pink color, is found a profitable sort to grow for cut flowers. Enchantress is still grown in quantity and a num- ber of the rose-pink sport will be benched next season. A good batch of Winsor also will be planted. Elsa Struss was not doing especially well. For dark pink, Nelson Fisher is grown and does finely. For variegated Mrs. Patten is grown exclusively. Young stock in pots and flats and the stock in the cutting house were all in fine condition. Qub Meetin£. Carnation night brought out a splen- did attendance to the club meeting March 19, 125 being present. There were a good number of exhibits, but these would have been even more nu- merous but for the spring show of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society coming three days later, for which growers were saving their blooms. W. W. Eawson staged exhibits of lettuce and radishes. Wm. Sim had sixteen vases of sweet peas and was awarded a report of superior merit. Peter Fisher , received a report of merit for Alma Ward carnation and also showed Bea- con and Evangeline. A. Roper was given a report of merit for his carna- tion. Bay State, and also showed other seedlings. E. B. Beals had several seedlings. H. A. Stevens Co. had a splendid lot of flowers, including sev- eral seedlings. Wm. Nicholson received a report of merit for a splendid lot of Afterglow. Elijah Wood had a fine scar- let seedling. F. R. Pierson Co. staged White Enchantress and Winsor. Dan- iel Iliffe had a revolving iron plant stand on exhibition. F. E. Palmer read a report from the committee on boiler legislation, speak- ing of the State House hearing and the work done by the committee. The report was accepted and the committee thanked for its labors. The question of a club banquet came up. The exe- cutive committee recommended holding one in April, as was done in 1906. It was voted to do so. J. K. M. L. Farquhar and W. J. Stewart spoke on S. A. F. matters and the Washington rose show. J. W. Dun- can proposed Jackson Dawson for hon- orary membership. There was an animated and prolonged discussion on carnation growing. F. E. Palmer preferred indoor culture all summer. M. A. Patten considered the two systems about equal in results. Peter Fisher said indoor culture has proved far superior with him. F. R. Pierson said that he has found indoor culture best in roomy, airy houses. W. J. Stewart and W. N. Craig advo- cated that more attention be paid to fragrance. J. K. M. L. Farquhar, James Wheeler, H. A. Stevens, A. Roper and D. Finlayson spoke on other phases of carnation growing. Eight new members were elected. The secretary announced the death of one of the club members, Neil B. Glass, February 26, in the Boston city hospi- tal. President Westwood urged a large attendance March 23 at the field day to W. W. Edgar's, Waverley. The sum of $25 was voted for a special prize to be offered at the chrysanthemum show in November. Refreshments were served, as usual, and the meeting did not adjourn until quite a late hour. VariotM Note*. Members of the Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club are reminded of the field day at W. W. Edgar's, Waverley, Sat- urday, March 23, leaving on 1:30 p. ni. electrics from Park street station. A cordial invitation is given to non-mem- bers to join in the excursion. The spring exhibition of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society, which will open on Friday this week, prom- ises to be well up to the average. The near approach of Easter will affect the displays from commercial growers to some extent. A full report will be given in next week's issue. St. Patrick's day, which was offi- cially observed March 18, caused an active demand for shamrocks. A good many green carnations and roses were also in evidence. It is surprising how people can be led to buy these abomi- nations, but the dyeing process seems to increase each year. Mann Bros., of Randolph, have, as usual, grand lots of lilies, ramblers, spiraeas, bulbous stock and other Eas- ter plants of first-class quality. Tailby & Sons and other growers are bringing in nice Spanish iris which finds a ready sale. E. Sutermeister, C. J. O'Brien and John J. Fee are handling quantities of fine bulbous stock and will have a splendid lot of cut blooms as well as pots and pans for Easter. While winter still lingers somewhat in the lap of spring, conditions are a little more congenial. Seed merchants are now doing a heavy counter trade and will be kept on the jump from this time onwards. A. H. Hews & Co. report pot trade as phenomenally brisk and they are having hard work to keep up with their orders. W. N. Craig. Pittsburg, Pa. — H. B. Beatty, treas- urer of the S. A. F., has returned from a southern trip. Tipton, Ia.— J. D. and T. W. Patter- son have purchased the Shiffer & Godden greenhouses and have already taken pos- I session. J.. -■..^...,.... ^.i. -'-J.

Of the ex- cellent results a(diie\-eil by our ex|)ert j^rowers the past speaks with no uncer- tain voice. ShipnuMits from here go to every ])art of the country. Tliere may be a scarcity of ramblers, for many liave failed to bud and bloom, espe- cially the Dorothy I'erkins. I'rices are about the same as in 11)0(5.

A year ago roses were scdling at $10 a fhousaml and good H«>auties were (juoted at $2..')0 per do/.en. Brides and Maids at .$.") per liunar and things are not so black as they look. Nothing like com])arisons to cre- ate contentment, especially if it can be shown that ])rogress is being inad(> and the sun is still shining. Carnations will be scarce for Kaster and ])rices will advance. This is a free tip, the sajne ;is the one T gavP on lilies. Roses will be abundant, Beau- ties especially, and of violets, as of tiie stars, no man can number them. Jieau- ties f(dl to $5 a do/,en Marcii 18, the best of them. .All roses went dowji, and violets suridy touched bottom for the season. Some of the whole- salers closed out as high as 50,000 at a clip; as to what he got for them, I refuse to answer. There have been a lot of "brain storms" of late in the wholesale district. Of bulbous stock there is no end. Like a river wide and deep, the tide flows in. There is a great abundance of valley. Orchids, a dozen varieties, are announced at headquarters and many orders from other cities are coming in. Orchid growing is rapidly increasing in this vicinity and yet the demand grows more rapidly. Various Notes. Tlu! New Yorkers who attended tiie rose convention have given glowing ac- counts of their enjoyment and its suc- cess. Messrs. Traemlly, C.uttman, O'Mara, Sheridan, Langjahr, Coilding- ton. Sawyer, Moore, Hagley, Schultz and Manda represented the metropolis. The call upon the President, the inter- view with the interstate commerce committee and the banquet were the ))leasantest memories. Among the distinguished visitors in the city last week were Phil Breit- ineyer, of Detroit, and Peter Crowe, of rtica. As usual, Harry Bunyard guided them through the intricacies of "the great white way." (ieorge Powell lectures at the Amer- ican Institute, this week Wednesday, on "The Culture of Small Fruits, How to Start and Manage Strawberries, Kas])berries, Blackberries and Cur- rants."

Scollay, of Brooklyn, who en- dured an ()j)eration for apj)endicitis some weeks ago, is slowdy recovering. Then* is a fine new five-story build- ing about completed at Jacobs & Son's, on Flushing avenu<', Brooklyn, where everything in gre(>nhouse material will have abundant room and convenience. This firm reports a great increase dur- ing the last year in every dejiartnu-nt of the industry. y. K. Pierson, former vice-president of the Eose Society, was so enthralled by Winsor and its requirements that he was obliged to cut out the rose con- vention. So nuudi for the new carna- tion that the B(>auty king has added to his harem. The auctions are on at Klliott's twice a week and prices are declared satisfac- tory. Im|)ortations are arriving daily. So far there is no opposition. There is some talk of an auction mart uptown, near the wholesale district, also a ])liint market. The latter is one of the "Lily King's" ambitions and he has a good place for the venture, at 1 AVest Twen- ty-eighth strtvt. Anton Schultheis intends tearing down half a dozen of his smaller houses this summer and building three fiiu', modern ones in their ])laces. His val- lev, gardenias and bulbous stock are handled by Jos. S. Kenrich. ( harle:^ Fraser, of Tiiclimond Hill, has sold his business to Charles AViese, who has been for nine years in the bulb and seed department of J. M. Thorlnirn & (■(». Mr. Fraser will give his attention to landscape architecture and civil en- gineering. David I). Howells is now in charge of the flower and ])lant department at the Knickerbocker hotel, one of the finest hostelries in the world. A splen- did roof-garden is to be added this spring and Hiram T. Jones, of Kliza- betii, has been fortunate in securing the contract for its construction. S. Masur, Brooklyn, will remove on Alay 1 to larger quarters, next door to his present store, aiul will fit it up to compare with any of the flower stores of the City of Churches. Mr. Masur last week had some very handsome de- signs for the Trowbridge funeral, ag- gregating close to four figures. Jt is reported that one of the largo wholesale c^t flower houses of Brook- lyn has decided to eliminate that de- ])artment altogether and devote its en- tire space and energies to the florists' su])ply business, for which Brooklyn and Ijong Island provide an unlimited and rapidly increasing field. W. H. Kuebler finds his big store already limited in room for his growing business, which he says has nu)re than doubled since Easter, 1906. Brooklyn is loyal to its own. St. l^atrick's day was celebrated by many of the florists with artistically decorated windows in green, with rib- bons, flags and harps much in evidence. J. J. Foley, on the Bowery, especially threw hims(df. Mr. Foley is a native son of the Kmerald Isle and 1863 is the year of his birth. He is a graduate of Alex MeConnell's. His business is an extensive one and he has ambitions to- wards the swell uptftwn section. Mr. l'\)ley has a handsonu' home in Madi- son, with horses, antes and all the modern accompaniments of i)ersistent devotion to duty. Ale.x Mc( Onnell will enjoy his first Kaster this year in his new store, in the Arcade. Two vacant stores in the sanu* buihiing will give him all needed room and he has every reason to expect his greatest sales vohnne. Win. H. Donohoe has added an extra store for Easter to his conveniences, on Twenty-iunth street, close to Broadway. His ])rogress has been continuous dur- ing the year and he is ready for the anticipated im-rease in Kaster orders in the city and out of it. For extent and showiness of window decoration and extensive conveniences no firm enjoys greater opportunities than David 'ciarke's Sous, at 2139 Broadway, close to Seventy-second street. This firm has a venerable rec- ord. Kifty-eight Kasters have come ami gone since the house was estab- lished. Jos. Leikens wears the sanu> smile he sported a year ago, only a little broader, and no wonder, when his Bel- mont hotel and Newport branches are considered ami the nearness of his de- )»arture for millionairedom realized.. The Newport season begins with him early in April. If anything on Broadway will stop the jiromenaders and take away gen- eral attention from the Kaster bonnets, it will be A. Warendorff's windows. They are always artistic, novel, en- trancing and never so striking as at Kaster time. Mr. Warendorff has been very close to the border since Kaster, 190(5, but now looks good for another iialf centurv. ■"J-"*- ■"■"- ■■'.^*h.>.v ^-. --■-- ■- ■-■■■^- 'J|, ■ f,J -->>^.. -- -. -:....AJ*L.w^ ■ -j^vy^K^/^*^*' ■ ■- .^~rrir^^. r'^T^- ^ % ' V T ' ^I'^nX"^ ff* ^T(fT* p Mabch 21, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1359 Young & Nugent 'a windows, on West Twenty-eighth street, with unique lighting and daily changes of arrange- ment, are always a credit to the artist whose ability and culinary surprises stamp him as an expert in both depart- ments of public service. Mr. Nugent had a big decoration at Delmonico's on Monday. Eobert G. Wilson still holds the fort as the bon ton florist of Brooklyn, His Fulton street store is a dream in white bark decoration, his conservatory an added beauty and his big range of glass and branch store on Greene avenue an added asset of permanent value since Easter, 1906. Thos. Young, Jr., still maintains his three elegant retail stores, on Fifth and Sixth avenues and West Twenty- eighth street, and makes a success of every one of them. No man can be in three places at the same time, but Mr. Young comes as near accomplishing it as any man in the business. Myer, on Madison avenue, is rapidly building up a fine clientele. His win- dows are always attractive. The year has been one of uniform prosperity. Bonnot & Blake have had a busy year in their new store, on Livingston street, Brooklyn, so much so they are already complaining of lack of room. ' They have many Jersey and Long Island growers and handle splendid stock that appeals to the best of the Brooklyn re- tail trade. Harry Crawbuck still holds the stage as the only green goods man in Brook- lyn. He has built up a permanent busi- ness. At his home, in Chatham, he is adding a nursery to his enterprises. He eays Brooklyn can use all his importa- tions of galax and wild smilax. Messrs. Weir, Phillips and Mallon still stand in the front rank of their profession in the City of Churches, where several hundred florists live and prosper. Probably no city in the world can total as large a number of retail florists as this great home center, this place where most of New York sleeps. Arthur T. Boddington has completed another record year. Every year is getting to be a record year with the "busy bees." H. A. Bunyard is back from a splendid trip. F. W. O. Sehmitz is another importer whose year at Prince Bay, on Staten Island, has been phenomenal. He thinks the future promises a hundred fold greater results for floriculture and that the business is only in its swad- dling clothes. The Eose Hill Nurseries are rounding out, at New Eochelle, their fortieth year, H. Siebrecht, Sr., having com- menced his career in this city in 1867. To look at him you would declare he hadn't been over forty years on earth, 80 well has he braved the vicissitudes of all these eventful times. Thorburn & Co. are now perfectly es- tablished in their headquarters on Bar- clay, the street of bulb importers and center of the industry in New York. All the great seed houses of the metropolis are within a stone's throw and close to the great terminals that will make this section the busiest spot ultimately on Manhattan island when the tunnels are complete. Weeber & Don are only a block away on Chambers street, and Rolker & Sons and the Yokohama Nursery Co. are close at hand. Uptown Bridgeman's and the Bickards Bros, and Arthur Bodding- ton do their share to cater to the people "higher up," and all of them have no cause for complaint. Bobbink & Atkins have had a phenom- enal sale of azaleas for Easter. Their greenhouses are filled with lilies, also, and choice palms and ferns, and they are so near the city that personal selec- tion can be made with ease and visitors are always numerous. Victory, grown by Chas. Weber at Lynbrook, is just as popular and in as great demand as ever, Mr. Weber says, while at A. J. Guttman's wholesale house the cut blooms command the high- est price for scarlets and give the same general satisfaction as when first in- troduced. The orchid growers and importers, Julius Roehrs Co., Lager & Hurrell, As we shall close out our green goods for this season in a few days, kindly discontinue our advertisement in but we want to say that we have been repaid for all that we have in- vested in advertising in the Review. F. W. RICHARDS & CO. Banner Elk, N. C. March 6, 1907. Carrillo & Baldwin and E. Held, are all expecting their fresh importations in all the popular varieties. It is a treat to the flower lover to visit these great orchidists and enjoy their magnificent displays. J. Austin Shaw. CINONNATL The Market The general volume of business last week was large and the total amount of sales footed up well, but when one con- sidered the large quantity of flowers handled the average price was not so good. The bright, warm weather we have been having is making itself felt and the cuts of all the growers who send their produce to this city have in- creased a great deal. The prospect of a glut on both roses and carnations by the middle of the present week is good and prices are likely to reach rock bottom. With the tide of blooms coming this week it would seem that there is occa- sion to feel a little uneasy as to what is in store for us at Easter. A number of growers have already reported that there will be a scarcity at that time, and it would appear from the present indica- tions that they are correct in their sur- mise. It is a great pity that we had to get in this great cut of flowers at this time. If they could only have held off for just two weeks more, what a great feast it would have been. With flowers scarce it will mean higher prices and many orders filled only in part. Even lilies will be scarce and the price will rule higher than last year. Bulbous stock should be plentiful enough to take care of the demand. This is the time of all times for the bulbous flowers and they will never be in better demand than this year. Orders for Easter de- livery are coming in fast. Storm and Flood. Wednesday evening, March 13, this city was visited by one of the heaviest storms in its history. The rain fell in torrents and was followed by a severe hail storm. The rain has caused another flood in the Ohio river and the water reached a height of almost sixty-two feet. The hail was heaviest on College hill, where there are several florists' establishments, and a great deal of glass was broken. Among those who have reported losses are the following: Walter Gray, Harry Corbett, George Corbett, Max Rudolph and Geo. Magrie, the latter 's houses being vacant and for rent at the time. The loss to each was about the same, being in the neighbor- hood of fourteen boxes of glass each. As the weather was warm, little damage was done to the stock. During the heavy rain the drain-pipes in the boiler-pits of the Hyde Park establishment of George & Allan failed to carry off the water and the pits filled up to the depth of about four feet. The warm weather alone saved them from a severe loss. Mr. Witterstaetter's Place. A recent visit to Richard Witter- staetter's carnation breeding establish- ment proved to be one of great interest. Stock was in first-class shape, blooming freely, and the quality up to the usual standard. The older favorites were there in good shape and among the new sorts Aristocrat was fine. After- glow, which Mr. Witterstaetter intends to put upon the market shortly, I be- lieve will prove to be the best he ever has disseminated. Among the seedlings are many that show great promise. C. J. Ohmeb. VASMNGTON. The latter half of the Lenten season has not stimulated trade. As a result of the warm weather, flowers are still overabundant and will remain so until Easter sales lessen substantially the supply on hand. The warm, bright days are forcing azaleas, etc., rather too fast. Saint Patrick's day was a marvel of its class and brought sale for some of the minor novelties, chiefly green carna- tions and shamrocks. Some of the retailers are going to Philadelphia this week to select Easter stock and indications so far would seem in favor of that season being satis- factory to florists here. J. L. C. Easton, Pa. — Arthur L. Raub & Co. will move their store from 17 South Fourth street to a building opposite, now occupied by the Easton Furniture Co. Kansas City, Mo. — J. Papadakos, who has a little shop on Walnut street, al- though notified five times, persistently refused to vacate the premises. Now, the construction company, which has the contract to build a block on the site, has built a high board fence around the shop, completely isolating the Greek. *-•* -■** * ' ^t»>-- J- ^ .. ,^ . .>> 1360 The Weekly Florists' Review* Mabch 21, 1907. m is printed Wednesday evening: and mailed eariy Thursday morning.

Bassett & Washburn ii 76 Wabash Ave., CHICAGO Mention The Review when you write. 47 and 49 Wabash avenue, directly above its present quarters and where it has been located for a number of years. It is the intention of the firm to use the newly obtained space partly as a florists' supply store and also for the sale of seeds, plants, bulbs, etc., in a re- tail way. The store is probably the fin- est on the Chicago market and when oc- cupied will give the Winterson Co. the largest floor space of any like concern on the street. The moving out of the supply business and oflSce from the base- ment will give the wholesale cut flower department much needed added space. The entire basement being retained, the store proper will be conducted under the name of Winterson 's Seed Store, E. F. Winterson Co., proprietor. The present tenants will give possession to the Win- terson Co. March 25, one week before Easter. No change will be made in the financial affairs or management of the company. ' ' St. Patrick's. St. Patrick not only is the patron saint of Ireland, but this season be- came the patron saint of the white car- nation market. As early as March 13 the price of white carnations began to stiffen and it is a conservative state- ment that in the four days preceding March 17 the market value of all white carnations was increased one-third by the call for stock which would take the green dye. The price advanced to $3 to $4 for all varieties and $5 per hun- dred for special fancies. The demand for the coloring liquid proved far be- yond expectations and it was hard to find Friday afternoon. That the growers and wholesalers profited does not signify that the retail- ers got much more than an advertise- ment for their share. Quite a number say the green fiowers did not sell to the public as they had expected, although thousands of people stopped to look at them as shown in the windows. Never- theless, large numbers were used one way or another. Qub Meeting. The club meeting March 14 was not BO largely attended as the February meeting but proved to be one of the most interesting of the year. The speaker of the evening failing to ap- pear. President Bruns demonstrated his special fitness for the chair by drawing out a discussion that beat anything the club has listened to for a long time. Andrew McAdams said that he found disease in this year's lilies about as usual but that the extra forcing he had used to get his in had caused many to come blind, or with fewer flowers per bulb than usual. He said he had visited Sam Pearce's, Wittbold's and Frank Oechslin's and found the same state of affairs, also as much as thirty to forty per cent of disease in some lots. P. C. Schupp said his observations verified Mr. McAdams' report of less flowers than usual; the range is two to four this year instead of three to six. E. C. Amling said he thought his growers must have been especially for- tunate in their bulbs, for they have much less disease than usual and for each 1,000 bulbs bought will market more flowers than last year. Asked about prices, he said that around Chi- cago lilies will be ready in time and in as large supply as ever but that through the country it is different, so that prices on good stock, now $15 per hundred, may go higher on later orders. He said that if one would be satisfied with lilies on stems eight to fifteen inches long, they can be had at from $6 to $12. E. F. Winterson confirmed this and said there will be lots of short lilies but thinks they will sell after the first-class stock is all booked. The opinion was that roses will be in good supply but carnations rather off crop. J. F. Klimmer said he had ob- served that the heaviest crop of the year always comes between April 15 and AprU 25, and predicted it will be so this year. But the Easter carnations will be fine. The retailers said they look for an especially heavy sale on plants this year. Mr. Amling asked if it is not a fact that pleasant weather the days before any holiday tends to help the sale of plants, while bad weather helps cut flow- ers. Mr. McAdams said he couldn't support that, but had found cold weather does not hurt his telephone trade, but helps it, and he at all times gets two- thirds of his business over the 'phone. John Degnan brought up the subject of the green carnation and it was well spoken of by all as a profit maker for the trade. J. T. Helbok, A. C. Benson, Van Zim- merman and T. E. Waters were elected to membership. The club members were all invited to attend the informal dance of the em- ployees of C. A. Samuelson at the Unity Club April 6. Watch the Temperature. The up-to-date theory of growing is to give all the air possible, all the time, but maintaining the proper growing temperature. It takes a little more coal, but the expenditure pays good returns. Following this policy, at the plant of the Poehlmann Bros. Co. there are four good growers who are called "tempera- ture men. * ' All they have to do at night is to walk from house to house compar- ing the readings of the thermometers with the temperatures posted beside them for their guidance. There are few nights when they do not keep at least a crack of air on. Various Notck The wholesalers say orders for lilies for Easter are heavy for this early date but that buyers seem to have little anx- iety as to anything else. The present warm weather is not liked. It is feared it will rush stock in and cut down sup- plies at Easter. H. F. Halle has completed arrange- ments for opening a store on the north side May 1, at the northeast corner of Sheridan drive and Clarendon avenue. This is directly opposite the Albert Fuchs store that Mr. Halle would have taken had not the terms of Henry Koropp's lease prevented Mr. Fuchs from letting for flower store purposes. Mr. Halle will continue his west side store as heretofore. 0. L. Washburn says that Bassett & Washburn will have many more lilies than they had expected to be ready for Easter. He says that the lilies have come along very fast in the last few days. They have some short ones, like all growers, and are selling these in pots. H. E.

Nearly every day brought its or- der for something out of the ordinary. One day he made a horseshoe standing six feet high of Eichmond roses, for the opening of Streeter's new shoe store. It was sent as a good luck emblem by a wholesale shoe house. Another day he made a cross seven feet high and the next day a star six feet across. Friday he had an order for a double spray six feet long of the best white roses, the two sprays being joined with a tie of violets, imitating a big bow, and used as a casket cover. J. F. Kidwell & Bro. report that a large proportion of their lilies will miss Easter. J. E. Jensen carries his left hand in a bandage. He says a dog mistook it for a beefsteak. The west park commissioners have awarded the contract for the new con- servatory at Garfield park to (J. E. Car- son & Co., a firm of general contractors with oflSces at 109 La Salle street. Lord & Burnham Co. and Hitchings & Co. were the only horticultural builders to put in bids; there were a number from local general contractors. N. J. Wietor, who has been at Colum- bus, Dayton, Springfield and Cleveland ^for a week or more, reports that every- one he met was prosperous and looking forward to the biggest Easter on record. Wietor 's Beauty crop is large. Leonard Kill says Alderman Peter Beinberg is taking more interest in the Easter crops than he has at any time since Carter Harrison inveigled him into politics. The resison is that Mayor Dunne, who seeks reelection, made speeches for Mr. Reinberg's opponent when Mr. Eeinberg was himself a can- didate for reelection a year ago. Be- ing too good a democrat to work for Busse, Mr. Eeinberg has time to take note that business is good at the store and rose crops heavy. Philip J. Foley has been elected presi- dent of the Millmen's Association, a trade organization of the firms engaged in turning out mill work. L. Coatsworth is busy these days studying the catalogues of the motor- boat makers. He says an automobile is all right for some people, but he pre- fers to do his speeding where the tele- graph poles are not so thick. E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., says he thinks all stock will be plenti- ful for Easter with the possible excep- tion of carnations. John Ebert will plant all his place in mums for fall and is busy propagat- ing for an early start. E. T. Wanzer, at Wheaton, sends the A. L. Eandall Co. some fine carnations. He has had exceptionally good results with Victory and will plant more of it next season. He says it looks to him as though Enchantress might be consid- erably overdone next year and he thinks of cutting down on it. Mr. and . Mrs. Fred Weber lost their baby March 17. The child was three months old. Will Kyle, of the Deamud Co., was at home all last week, ill with the grip, and has not yet got the ache fully out of his bones. Joseph Foerster, of George Eein- burg's, says that he has no fault to find with business during Lent. It has held up better than usual, and their heavy crop is just coming on. The George Wittbold Co. will not have as many lilies this Easter as last, but will have no trouble getting most of them in; in fact, one lot is so far advanced that they are holding back strong. They will have a splendid lot of Eambler roses. Philip Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, says he thinks they may count them- selves fortunate in the timing of their crops all season. He says their heaviest cut will be over before the anticipated glut follawing Easter. E. H. Hunt has a fine lot of lilies coming daily from "Big Pete" Sroczy- riski, who is said to have 20,000 gera- niums and much other spring stock ready to move up into the space the day after Easter. The city has not yet come to a set- tlement with the Eogers Park Water Co., but is operating the plant and the growers on "the ridge" are getting better service and cheaper rates. C. W. McKellar includes valley in the list of stock which is not selling as well as it should. He says orchids will, be abundant for Easter and the wed- dings which will follow. As usual, Vaughan & Sperry will have quite a few Easter plants to dis- pose of for their grower at Grand Eap- ids.

Business during the last week has been good, everything being cleaned up. A rushing business was done in green car- nations, not only the Irish but everyone buying. It's not so bad a trade as some writers would have us think; it helps pay the rent. All the retailers are in good shape for Easter and are looking forward to a record trade. Bertermann Bros, expect to add to their Cumberland range this summer. John Bertermann says it doesn't pay to have boilers sitting round doing nothing. The chances for Easter lilies are ex- cellent. Most of the growers will get theirs in just right ; and there will be plenty of spiraeas, with bulb stuff of all kinds in abundance. S. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The expected glut has not yet made its appearance at the wholesale houses, although there is plenty of stock in all lines. The retailers are buying heavily these days, which goes to show that Lent has not been noticeable with them. There have been a number of large wed- dings this month, plenty of funeral work and many dinner parties. The good demand for cut flowers in the downtown district also is noticeable. Boses are fine and should continue so right up to Easter. J. F. Ammann's and F. C. Weber's stock is fine. Mon- day morning some extra Ivory, Rich- mond, Killarney, Bride and Maid were seen from these places. Extra long Beauties are somewhat scarce; shorts, plentiful. Violets are not abundant. Bulb stock is coming in fine. This will be most plen- tiful for Easter. Carnations are plenti- ful, but they seem to clean up almost every day. Stock is of the best and all varieties are selling well. Wild smilax is having a good call, so are all other greens. Qub Meeting. The Florists' Club meeting, which was held March 14 in the Burlington building, was not well attended, as most of the local growers are busy at home looking after their Easter stock. Presi- dent Irish opened the meeting at 2 o'clock, with the majority of the offi- cers present. After routine work, the flower show committee was discharged with thanks for its good work in trying to raise the big guarantee fund in the face of the great opposition placed in its way. President Irish reported tnat the Engelman Botanical Club is soon to hold its spring exhibition of wild flowers. The club at once voted to loan them its vases and tables, which it has in storage. The club will no doubt at- tend this show in a body. The club decided to hold its annual rose show during the April meeting and voted $50 in prizes. The trustees wiU have full charge. The prizes are to bo competed for by local growers only. Growers of new roses will be appealed to to send their new varieties for ex- hibition. The trustees were instructed to ar- range some suitable entertainment for the club's twentieth anniversary, June 28. The sum of $100 was set aside for the expenses. Theo. G.

Sixty guests assembled. Among the visitors, besides the executive committee before mentioned, were J. C. Vaughan, of Chicago; E. V. Hallock, Queens, N. Y.; Peter Crowe, Utica, N. Y.; Thos. Johnson, Providence, R. I.; G. X. Amrhyn, New Haven, Conn. ; Felix Mense, Glen Cove, N. Y. ; E. J. Haus- wirth, Chicago; Harry C. Sim, Riverton, N. J.; Col. Castle and J. L.

Hauswirth, W. F. Kasting, E. V. Hallock and Robert Kift, and songs were sung by P. J. Lynch, J. F. Hogan and A. L. Campbell. The evening was thoroughly enjoyed. Mr. Kift, who spoke for the horticultural press, made the point that while the other speakers were telling of the benefits various societies gave their members at their conventions, the press had a weekly convention, which was far more beneficial and far reaching in ita effects. Rose Show Gleaxiiogs. Philadelphia captured fifteen prizes at Washington last week, including the Lord & Burnham and Michell cups. The victory of George Burton, who won the Lord & Burnham cup for the second time, was notable in that Mr. Burton was able to bring fifty fancy blooms at a time of such scarcity. Edward Towill's success in winning the Michell cup was a popular victory. It took fifty fancy Richmonds to do it. It was stated that Wm. Kleinheinz was in an automobile accident while see- ing the city. Fortunately, nothing more serious than an hour's detention resulted. Mr. Kleinheinz and his friends were then borne back to their hotel by a red devil. Among the Philadelphians at the show were David Anderson, George Burton, G. E. Campbell, A. B. Cartledge, D. T.

The dinner given by the Washington florists to the members of the Rose So- ciety at the Arlington hotel on Thurs- day evening was considered by those fortunate enough to be present as the handsomest aflfair of the kind ever held. The room was elaborately decorated with palms and flowers. Fully 150 guests sat down to dinner, including a number of ladies. There were many speeches and Bongs, among the latter an original one by Robert Kift, which was especially happy. On Friday teams representing Wash- ington, Baltimore and Philadelphia rolled a series of three games for the inter-city championship. Philadelphia was represented by D. T. Connor, J. H.

How shall we treat Lilium giganteum taken from cold storage from now on to get the best results? W. J. After potting they should be placed on the floor in a frost-proof shed or cellar, where temperature fluctuations are less marked than in the greenhouses at this season of the year. All lilies pre- fer a comparatively cool location while making their roots and during the early stages of growth. As soon as the pots are well filled with roots they can be moved to a warm house. If placed under a greenhouse bench at the present time growths will appear above the pots before many roots are made, which means a failure so far as flowers are concerned. Some successful growers have tiers of shelves on which they stand the pots around the sides of the^shed or cellars. They can all be readily reached with the hose when necessary. They are kept rather dark, and this prevents the dry- ing out of the soil. After being housed, the benches in almost any of the houses should do for them now that the sun is at so much higher an angle. "We consider one of the greatest secrets of success in growing cold storage, or in- deed any other bulbs, is to fill the pots with roots in as cool and equable a place as possible. C. W.

They were rooted in November. I have not used anything in the soil ex- cept sheep manure. The plants did not show the disease until they were changed into 4-inch pots. The trouDle is mostly among the John Doyles and Bicards. I have Poitevine and S. A. Nutt in. the same house, but they are not affected. The geraniums are in the end house, quite shady, and the temperature is about 50 degrees. I do not think I have overwatered them. The disease seems to be spreading. J. F. D. This trouble, which is not at all un- common, comes from a variety of causes and, once started, spreads very fast. It is due to several causes: Too much nitrogenous manure in the soil, too much moisture at the roots and over- head and too little sunlight on the plants. We would advise giving the plants all possible sunshine; they need it and will not do nearly so well in a shaded as in a sunny house. They may grow and appear green, but the growth is soft in comparison to what it would be in direct sunlight and the plants will not flower so well. We have not found any advantage in spraying for the mildewed foliage, and we think the only successful remedy vdll be a light, sunny house, care in watering and the use of fine bone in lieu of sheep or cow manure at future pottings. The latter manures promote rank growth; the former makes the plants hardier and more floriferous. C. W. The Eevdew is the best paper I get.— F. C. Gbeen, Warwick, B.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. Pres., Henry W. Wood, Richmond, Va. ; First Vlce-Pres., Charles Burge, Toledo, O.; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 25th annual meeting will be held at New York City, June, 1907. The California seed growers would like to have a little fair weather. Spring weather in the central states has started a freshet of orders pouring in on the seedsmen. It was 102 degrees in the shade in Oklahoma March 19 and the whole south- west is having a hot wave. Frank Blaeetield is working in the Sister Bay region in Wisconsin making pica growing contracts for the John H. Allan Seed Co. The canners seem to have found all the seeds they need; at least they are not calling for stock the way they were a few weeks ago. W. A. Wheeler, Brookings, S. D., is making contracts for the growing of the stock with which the Dakota Improved Seed Co. will start in business at Mitch- ell, S. D., next season. In spite of the troubles and delay in getting their catalogues in the mails, the seed department of Montgomery Ward & Co., Chicago, has been working to the limit for some time. The E. F. Winterson Co., Chicago, will engage in the retail seed and horti- cultural supply business at 45 to 47 Wabash avenue, having leased the three store spaces on the street floor for the purpose. A FIRM of Hamburg importers and a London jobber of lon^orums are "lawing it" to find out who is re- sponsible when cold storage bulbs do not flower satisfactorily. It appears that all growers who bought the bulbs were given credits in settlement by the job- ber and he seeks to pass the responsi- I bility back to the importer. TO THE TRADL..

The Holland bulb salesmen, whose name is legion, are again centering on New York after covering the west. Most of them sail for home or for England early in April. Not one of them fails to report that orders booked this year have been the heaviest on record. The J. C. Eobinson Seed Co., Water- loo, la., has just completed its com dry- ing plant, which will be busy from now until the season is over drying seed corn for planting. It has a capacity of about 100 bushels per hour. A public demon- stration of its work was given March 19. The breaking of winter has brought a rush to the seed trade and houses in all branches of the business are as busy aa they care to be.

We staged 68 perfect blooms at the Royal Horticultural Society's Show at Holland House, July 9 and 10, 1906, and after two days' show were as good as when first set up, and were ad- mitted to be in better condition than any other variety in the show.

Wholesalers are feeling the pressure of urgent calls for the replenishment of stock, particularly from the country dealers in the southwest, where the season has gone forward with a rush in the last SEED SHORTAGES OF 1907. Now that the seed catalogues for 1907 are published and distributed, our cus- tomers and the trade are wondering what all the excitement about seed shortages, that occupied the minds of the entire craft such a short time ago, was for. One would gather from a close perusal of the seed catalogues this year that never in the history of the trade were there such quantities of seeds and of such splendid qualities. The real fact of the case is that the 'day of absolute shortage of seeds, so acute that planters must forego their plantings, has forever passed in this country. Our great diversity of soils and climatic conditions makes it an im- possibility, to say nothing of the seeds we can get from Europe. When there are no seeds in one section, there are in another. It is wholly a question of price, and even this season prices have not been nearly so much affected as the "short- age howl," at the time our seed cata- logues were started last autumn, would lead buyers to suppose. There are many reasons for this. In the first place, most of- us who do any business at all annually carry over from one year to another seeds in quantity sufficient to carry us a long way on the road of the next year. Now let no one PANSIES Scotch and English PANSIES are noted all the world over for their excellence. We have unique selections. The flowers are larg^e, superb in color and g>rand in substance, and yearly selected and improved. We do not recommend the flimsy Trimardeau Pansies— size alone is not beauty.

For there is now no question but that vine seeds of practically all va- rieties are better three or four years old than they are the first season after being harvested.

I am not referring to such seeds as parsnip and others that go into the dirt-barrel at the end of each season, and which even immedi- ately after harvesting often germinate poorly.

For forcing I can recom- mend it as bein^ almost equal to the best named varieties generally used for that purpose. It contains named novel- ties of merit, and hybrids bred especially to supply the needs of Florists requiring li^ht colors. Having for many years experimented extensively to the end of supplying a White and Light Mixture especially adapted to the Florists' trade, for Funeral and Decorative work where light colors alone would be appropriate, I am now prepared to furnish my Meadowvale Florists' Light Mixture, which I can guarantee to contain the best quality obtainable in the world at the price. There is such a variation in Florists' Mixtures, as generally offered, that I do not wonder at the frequent disgust of the purchaser, and in my preparation of this stock I have endeavored to eliminate every variety with which the most critical florist could find fault. This Mixture was offered last Spring for the first time and over 500,000 were placed and not one complaint received, a sure indication that it was favorably received by the Florists. For this season, 1907, it will be sold only by me and in lots of not less than 1000 or more. Price. $i5 00 per 1000, F. O. B. Berlin, N.

This offer will hold good as long as the stock lasts and orders will be entered in their turn, although shipment may not be required until later. When the stock is all sold, this offer will be withdrawn, without further notice, therefore do not delay and miss it. May I not have the opportunity of demonstrating that I have a Mixture which, after growing one season, you would not part with for double the price paid? If so, fill out the order blank and send to me with remittance and I will sign and return duplicate to you.

The weight of the responsibility that an honest man car- ries, who has the buying of a seed stock in his hands, is, in my estimation, the greatest any man can assume.

This firm was started in 1875 by E. W. Conklin, the father of the present proprietor, Horace E. Ctonklin. The firm at first had warehouses on State street, and the firm was at different periods known as Conklin & Keeler, and Conklin & Mersereau. Since the death of the founder, in 1896, the business has been conducted successfully by his son. "In 1897 the present warehouses on Montgomery street were erected. Last season two additions were built, each 50x50, one of them of five stories and the other two stories. The main build- ing is 75x420 feet. About twenty-five men are employed and an equal number of girls. The principal business is the recleaning of western seeds and the selling of field seeds, with a specialty of seed peas and corn. Several salesmen are on the road for the firm, and a branch office is located at Harrisville, Mich., where thousands of bushels of peas are annually grown for the house. Here Mr. Conklin has a large warehouse.

Trade during the last few weeks has been on the quiet side, at least the wholesalers imagine it has been, on ac- count of the great amount of stock that has been coming in. I think with the most of them that the receipts are quite equal, if not ahead, of other years, and the abundance of stock has made it dif- ficult for everything to be cleaned up; especially in carnations, violets and bulb stock is this noticeable. Easter lilies are coming, and from present appearances will be plentiful around Toronto, although we hear in many of the out- side points that stock is behind. Variotss Notes. J. S. Simmons has just finished the alterations for his enlarged store. He has taken over the store next to him and made the two stores into one. This he has carried out right through the three upper floors, and has fitted these up for ofSces of various kinds. He has put in a complete new steam plant, and has electric Ught and gas all through the bmlding. His store will be one of the finest, if not the finest, in Canada, when he has it finished. He intends, in the fall, to take out the present front and put in a new front. He is using all the modern ideas for convenience as well as style and, with the great amount of floor space that he will have, his store will be a credit to Canada. A number of the Toronto florists went to London to attend a meeting of the executive committee of the Canadian Horticultural Association, as well as taking in the carnation exhibition in that town. The delegates did not ex- actly walk to London, but the time we made would leave the impression that we were traveling on a slow freight. However, after we arrived there every- thing was made quite lively for us.

Gammage & Son had a splendid exhibit, showing some White Perfection, and a number of standard varieties well grown. F. Dicks, London's carnation specialist, had some fine standard varieties. J. H. Dunlop, Toronto; "W. J. Lawrence, Eglinton; Dale Estate, Brampton, and W. Fendley, Brampton, sent exhibits of carnations of the best commercial varieties. It might be remarked that all the carnation stock exhibited was much ahead of the Canadian grown carnations that were shown at the carna- tion convention show in Toronto. The bright weather we have had the last few weeks put some strength into the stems, so that the stock showed up to much better advantage. F. E. Pierson, of Tarrytown, N. Y., sent an exhibit of Winsor and White Enchantress. These two proiliise to be. good commercial varieties. A meeting of the executive committee of the Canadian Horticultural Associa- tion was held, and a draft of the pro- gram for the annual convention was made.

In the afternoon the delegates visited the greenhouses of J. Gammage & Son and found everything in fine shape for Easter. Especially admired were their bench of Easter lilies and house of Primala obconica in full bloom. Their new range, which is devoted principally to carnations, is fine.

Tkc Market Business has been somewhat unsteady the last week. Funeral work created most of the business, causing a big rush in some stores, while at the same time at the store next door there was noth- ing doing. Just at present there is lit- tle doing in the way of weddings or entertaining. Colored stock is plentiful. White flowers remain well cleaned up. Satur- day evening white carnations were at a premium, owing to the demand for green carnations for Marca 17. Carna- tions are bringing from $1.50 to $2. Those colored green for St. Patrick's day sold readUy at $4. In 1906 green carnations did not sell at all, but this year a great many were disposed of. •^luch bulbous stock is still going to waste.

Smith, of Wyandotte, recently gave his fourth or fifth annual spread for a number of the members of the Florists' -Club, Mr. Smith, although long ago of age, is still enjoying single blessedness. He has only a sm^l span of glass, but his carnation crop certain- ly speaks well for the grower. Some of the boys say his crop of champagne and cigars is also par excellence. Easter is early this year, but Easter shoppers are already in evidence on all sides. The public is finding out that it pays to be on the ground early. Many orders for Easter are being booked. Nothing pleases the florists more, as they are better able to handle the busi- ness when spread out over a week or ten days. Blooming plants are plentiful, but lilies will hardly be equal to the demand. "William Hielscher is just recovering from a severe attack of the grip. The excellent staying qualities of some green carnation fluid was proven in Detroit. Someone experimented with the tail end of a white dog belonging to William Brown, and now the green tip "won't come off." The Detroit Cut Flower Exchange is handling some exceptionally fine sweet peas. With the arrival of the spring weath- er the street fakers are again in evi- dence. Hundreds of Enchantress are finding their way to the public through this channel at 25 cents per dozen. H.

Kinloeh Central 6276. .roTconnvve. i KI»loch Central BALTIMORE. The Market The weather conditions have been sat- isfactory. The bright, sunny days have brought out thousands of blooms of every description and little was carried over. The retail market has been steady. Prices have declined on some particular grades. Taking all into con- sideration, the retailer makes no com- plaint. American Beauties are generally enough to meet the demands; however, the coming of the Metropolitan Opera Co., March 25, at the Lyric, will no doubt call for many Beauties and other cut flowers, but only a few of the lead- ing florists will reap the harvest. Boses are coming in more regularly, at fair prices. Ivory, Bridesmaid, and Killar- ney are extra fine. Bride, Richmond, Liberty and Gate are used to a great ex- tent. The glut of carnations still hangs on. Many who are trying to hold them back for Easter find it difficult, as the sun has so much power. The quality is fair, but showing a little change. The leading sellers here are white and En- chantress. Lily of the valley is not so plentiful and ff'v are called for. Sweet peas can be had iii any quantity at a low figure. Both single and double violets are a glut and sell at a price that hardly pays for picking. Thousands were offered on the streets last week. Callas are begin- ning to be plentiful and bring good prices. Bulbous stock can be found in any quantity. Thousands of Easter lilies are thrown out and will no doubt make a short crop. Many will discard them hereafter. Greens are not so scarce, as the weather is more favorable. The fern gatherers will soon get more out of the woods and will flood the town. Vaiiotts Notes. While L. Kru^er, 723 West Franklin street, was trimming a tree, the limb on which he was standing broke and he fell to the ground, sustaining pain- ful injuries. Herbert W. Cameron, who was em- ployed by J. Boigiano & Son, has given up working in the seed business. Philip Heddrick, gardener for Allen McLane, Chattolanee, Md., picked over 2,500 extra fine Marie Louise violets and has some fine azaleas. They will shortly erect another house, much larger than the one they now have. Samuel Feast & Sons have one of the most up-to-date arranged windows in the city. A glance at the beautiful sight will surely make anyone feel that spring is here. The next meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists* Club will be hela in its rooms March 25. This meeting should be well attended, as considerable impor- tant business will be transacted. Fred Eeitz, Franklintown, has an enormous quantity of blooming bulbous stock for Easter. He is one of the larg- est importers in the state and supplies many growers, and when the bulbs are in bloom he supplies a good many re- tail stores. Much credit is due Mr. Reitz for the way he handles such a vast number of bulbs. Easter he has about half a dozen stalls scattered throughout the market and makes many trips a day with his wagon and a hired wagon. One of our growers of Easter lilies was compelled to throw out nearly 200 lilies last week, and he was not the only ,one. Many members of the club attended the rose convention at Washington last Friday and were well pleased. Isaac H. Moss, Govanstown, is cut- ting some extra fine, long-stemmed Ivory and Golden Gate. The stock has made remarkable growth for the short time planted. The florists here are beginning to realize that the window decorations are becoming a necessity. John P. Willheim, Gardenville, recent- ly was in tovm looking for a first-class buggy. He says business has been so brisk that it enables him to lay out the cash for this summer's pleasure. C. B. Hoffman, Arlington, has com- pleted his repairs on his new houses re- cently damaged by fire and will be ready for the Easter trade. There was a good demand for the green carnations for St. Patrick's day. J. L. T. West Springfield, Mass. — Hans Madsen has sold his business and haa returned to Denmark to live.

A certificate of merit was awarded James Salter for six pots of Antirrhinum Sutton's "White Queen. This is a dwarf variety, growing from one to two feet in height, and is suit- able for window or conservatory deco- ration. Eesolutions of sympathy were passed on the death of William J. Griffin, one of the organizers of this society. He was a native of County Mayo, Ireland. He came to this country thirty-five years ago and since then had spent practically all his time in this vicinity. At the time of his death he had charge of the C. H. Tweed estate, Beverly Farms. W.

The George Wittbold Co., Chicago, a couple of seasons ago, established a large nursery at Edgebrook, just outside the city. They now have ^a big stock of shrubs and hardy perennials ready for market, but only a fraction of what they expect to have another season. SEASONABLE REMINDERS. Prunas Pissardi is, in eflfect, a minia- ture purple-leaved plum. It is fully as decorative as the latter as far as the foliage is concerned, although, of course, by reason of its dwarf habit it never attains the impressive appearance of a matured plum. This prunus is a desir- able subject when something is wanted with which to make contrasts. In early summer, before the foliage unfolds, beau- tiful pinkish white flowers dot the branches profusely. The foliage, from the time it opens in early summer until it falls in early winter, is almost un- changed in its purple hue. It is suitable for planting in masses, or as single speci- mens. It stands hard pruning, if it is necessary, to keep it within bounds, or it may be allowed to grow unchecked; whichever way it is always satisfactory. I doubt if there is any other flowering shrub as much in demand, and deserv- edly so, as Hydrangea paniculata grandi- flora. It is invaluable for the decoration of home grounds and valuable also for the flowers in their cut state. They find usually a ready market, even at a time of the year when outdoor flowers are abundant. Cuttings of this hydrangea can be placed in the nursery in the spring to root and it will not be long before they will give an account of themselves. Evergreens require more or less pro- tection during the winter months in nearly every section of the country, not so much in any case for the injury that the frost might directly cause, but be- cause of the damaging effects of cold and sunlight combined. Evergreens, cov- ered up during a great part of the win- ter, should not at one time be wholly relieved of their winter protection, nor should any of it be removed until, at least, some sign of spring appears. At any rate it is undesirable to suddenly expose them to the full light of the sun. The present is a good time to begin a campaign of extermination upon every- thing visible in the line of scale, as well as upon things pretty nearly invisible, that are a menace to trees and shrubs. As soon as the frost is out of the ground work should be commenced in the preparation of beds for the reception of tree seeds. These seeds, stored away somewhere during the winter, will, many of them, need looking after now and ex- amined to ascertain whether or not they are in proper condition. Evergreens in the cutting boxes should be potted as soon as they are rooted. '^L^.i •t .-^iw.

It may be found that a few are still un- rooted, but, better than leave them all longer in the boxes, to pot the advanced ones in order to get them ahead for out- doors and put the unrooted ones back in the cutting boxes again. R. R. THE AMERICAN ELM. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of such an elm as any nurseryman would be proud to have growing in a big block on his grounds. J. A. Pettigrew told the Massachusetts Horticultural Society recently that "the American elm (Ulmus Americana) is en- deared to the people of New England by the manner in which it has embow- ered many of our towns and waysides with its beautiful pendulous branches; the fame of New England's elms has spread far and wide. The American elm is not suitable for planting under hard conditions in city streets; it loves a rich, moist soil, with plenty of room for development; for wide suburban streets and for waysides it is" a grand tree." The demand for elms of good size is so strong that to find a number of trees of fairly large caliper, one like unto the other, is no easy task, as a number of the landscape architects who have tried it recently have found. Several park plantings of elms have been delayed, or other stock used, because of the dif- ficulty of finding enough elms that were of the right size and which would match up. PRIVET CUTTINGS. Referring to R. R. in the Review of February 28, page 1126, cuttings of all hard-wooded plants should be taken off in the fall, before sharp, freezing weather, and at once made up into cut- tings of the proper length and heeled in in moist sand in a cool cellar Hntil spring, so that the lower ends may cal-, lous, ready for rooting when planted. I think there are not many places north of Mason and Dixon's line where California privet is not too much injured by freezing to do at all for cuttings; in fact, in many places the entire top is perfectly dead to the ground. I think the Amoor River privet is much better than the California. Though quite similar in appearance and growth, it is now green to the very tips, while the Cali- fornia near it is entirely dead to below the surface. E. Y. Teas. TO REGULATE SALE OF PLANTS The following is the text of ' * An Act to regulate the sale of Plants, Trees, Shrubbery, Etc., and to provide against the spread of Infectious Diseases among Plants, Trees, bnrubbery. Etc., and for the Inspection of Nursery Stock, owned or sold by Companies or Corporations doing a Nursery Business in the State of Minnesota," now pending in the Min- nesota legislature: It shall be the duty of the state entomolo- gist, or bis assistant, to inspect all companies or corporations doing a nursery business In Minnesota, who are engaged in tlie growing, shipping or selling of ornamental trees, fruit trees and shrubbery of all Iclnds; such Inspec- tion to occur not less than twice each year, and for which the owner, or owners, of each nursery shall pay an inspection fee of $1U.

BUYING TREES AND SHRUBS. The National Council of Horticulture, in one of its press bulletins, gives the following advice: "If possible the purchaser of trees or shrubs should choose his purchases from growing stock that he views and con- siders with regard to his especial require- ments. A gardener should select with the utmost care everything of a perma- nent nature that he puts in his garden. Especially is this the ease with fruit- bearing trees and shrubs. The best is the cheapest, it being more economical to destroy a poor specimen than to waste time and effort trying to make a good plant of it. The same applies to a rose bush or any ornamental plant. "The buyer who orders haphazard from a nurseryman's catalogue without either seeing the plants he is purchasing, or giving the seller an idea of his spe- cial requirements, will be lucky if disap- pointment is not his lot. Quality, and not quantity, should always be the watchword of the gardener, since a sin- gle rose bush of surpassing beauty will give more pleasure than a dozen that are failures. "If it is impossible for the purchaser to visit a nursery and make his own se- lections, he should obtain expert advice from someone who understands how to order with specifications that will insure stock of the right sort being delivered, and who knows what variety will be best suited to tbe given conditions. "Advice of this sort may be obtained from the nurserymen themselves and the purchaser will do well to write for sug- gestions on all points he does not thor- oughly understand. But a trip to the nursery, where all varieties may be seen growing, and the various specimens com- pared will be productive of information enough to make it profitable to any ama- teur wherever it is possible."

WTTIK, PACIFIC COAST. San Diego, Cal. — The Southern Con- struction Co. is planning to start two large palm nurseries. Miles of streets of this aity are to be ornamented with the choicest palms in California, set thirty feet apart. SANFSANOSOO. The Market The weather has been favorable for flowers for the last week and every- thing has been plentiful, except good roses, and they are at a premium just now. There has been no really good stock of Beauties offered oy the grow- ers for the last month, but from ap- pearances we can expect a heavy cut- ting in good season for Easter. Carna- tions remain stationary in price, with a slight shortage of the white varie- ties. There are plenty of light pink and Enchantress to be liad, and the quality is good. Bulbous stock is still in evidence, especially the later sorts of daffodils. Narcissi are over for the season and valley is plentiful and in fair demand. Some Harrisii are ready and these cost the retailers $2 per dozen. The out- look for Easter lilies is good and from present appearances there will be ample stock to tin all requirements. Violets are getting scarcer and we do not expect they will last for over a few weeks at the most. Sweet peas have made their appearance and are the first of the spring flowers to be had. They sell at $1 per dozen bunches, but are expected to be much cheaper after Easter. Green stuff, both wild and cultivated, with the possible exception of smilax, is now plentiful enough to supply all wants and the famine that has been experienced by all the retailers is now at an end. Business has been fair for this sea- son of the year and all are looking for- ward to a prosperous Easter. Various Notes.

I should like to grow carnations in the open ground for cut flowers for the wholesale trade. Can you tell me what varieties would succeed best in this situation? D. M. There will be no diflBculty in growing carnations anywhere in the neighborhood referred to during the spring and sum- mer months, but to produce flowers late in the fall and during the winter would be out of the question. Carnations can be and are grown outdoors with success anywhere along the coast below San- Francisco down to San Diego, but when they are planted north of there they pro- duce but little during the season of the year they are most in demand. Unless in some favored locality in our southern country, the carnation as an outdoor bloomer is not considered to be a very profitable proposition. The pub- lic taste has gradually been educated up to a point where hothouse flowers are de- manded and, although the outdoor prod- uct is used to a certain extent, they do not bring more thJfn a fraction of the price paid for indoor stock. At the season of the year when there would be an abundance of flowers in the region described by D. M. they would be brought into competition with the much finer indoor stock and the prices would hardly pay for their care for the balance of the season. Regarding the best varieties for gar- den planting, I have found that Estelle is so far the most satisfactory of the scarlet sorts, although old Portia is also a splendid bloomer, but the blossoms are not so large or double. Of the deep pink varieties I prefer Ethel Crocker to anything else for this latitude. Wm. Scott is probably the next best. Lawson is of no value as a garden variety and E. Schwerin is not as good a color out- doors as it is under glass. Fiancee and Nelson Fisher are not good outdoor sorts here. Of tho whites, Flora Hill is better than anything else. Boston Market is a splendid bloomer but the flowers are not of good size,' and Queen Louise bursts badly. Harlowarden is the most satisfactory of the dark reds and John SHASTA DAISY Alaska, California and Westralia. extra atronr field dlrisions, from divisions of Mr. Burbank'a original stock, 12.60 per 100; $22.50 per 1000.

Mrs. Patten has not been a success and Enchantress and Prosperity are worth- less. Should the writer have an opportunity to try his success with carnations under glass he will have a much greater num- ber of varieties to select from, but for garden sorts with the intention of mar- keting them, a few kinds will be all that should be used. Some success has attended the grow- ing of carnations from seed. Good strains of the marguerite type or picotees make admirable flower producers and, al- though the blossoms are not to be com- pared with the hothouse product, their freedom of bloom makes them of some value. G. COLUMBUS, OHIO. The Market. < Every member of the craft is now most actively preparing for the great Easter business that we daily feel com- ing stronger and nearer. Conditions could not be better than they are in Columbus for an enormous business; the sunless weather, which lasted so long, has certainly whetted our cus- tomers' desires for flowers to a point where they will buy lavishly. It is still an uncertain factor, regarding the sup- ply of good stock that will be available here. As regards lilies, the reports are mixed. With some they have done well and will come about right, but in places the disease has shown itself badly; in fact, at least half the bulbs that were started have already been thrown out. There seems to be less disease among the Harrisii than any others. If the fine, sunny days we are now having continue, roses and carnations will be in good form. As regards flowering plants of all kinds, the supply is large and of good quality; this is due no doubt to everyone making a special effort with plants — we fell down so flat on them last year. Give us good weather Easter week, is all we ask. -||.figil^l,^,T^pVmpi^««iRH^W«J,|PJ|{||q||IIJl.j. II l|i*HJ|lM,lll ijRiiippqiv JiiraTT^ March 21, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review. J 39?

Our club held its first meeting of the month March 12, with President Sher- man F. Stephens in the chair. The im- portant matter of the evening was the question as to whether the penny pack- ■ets of flower and vegetable seeds, which have been put up for the school children, «hould be given to them or whether the packets should be paid for by the -children. Our club is a unit in believing that it is for the good of the children that they pay the few pennies neces- sary. To arrange this matter the club has appointed M. B. Faxon, Sherman F. Stephens and R. A. Currie as a com- mittee to confer with the Columbus board of education. The display of plants and flowers at this meeting was the best of the season thus far. The prize committee for the evening, consisting of Messrs. Torrey, Brust, Meitzmaier, "Williams and Monk, awarded to I. D. Siebert, for a fine Mme. Vander Cruyssen azalea, twenty points; R. A. Currie, for Spiraea superba, fifteen points; Sherman F. ■Stephens, for Murillo tulips, fifteen points; Jacob Reichert, for Keizers- kroon tulips, ten points, and for a good ■Genista fragrans, ten points went to A. Wedemeyer. As this was ladies' night, we shortened the business part and devoted the balance of the evening to entertaining our guests. Various Notei. N. J. Wietor, of Wietor Bros., Chi- cago, has been for several days seeing our city as the guest of William Graff, of Graff Bros. Mr. "Wietor is of the -opinion that Easter will see a great business, with plenty of stock, with the exception of lilies. W. P. Sharp is advertising nursery stock in our local papers that he "guar- antees to grow." "Without question the most elaborate and extensive floral decorations ever at- tempted in this city were planned and arranged by 0. B. Springer, for the opening of the department stores of the David C. Begga. Co. For this decora- tion the Livingston Seed Co. supplied bay trees, palms, ferns and other foliage plants to the number of over 500. Large quantities of carnations and roses were also used in vases. From Marshall Field & Co., of Chicago, came a glorious bunch of American Beauty roses. At a recent meeting of the Pleasant Ridge Improvement Association it was recommended that Norway maples be planted as street trees in this city. Graff Bros, took advantage of the lower rates for carnations to have one of their special sales, and disposed of an enormous quantity at 35 cents per dozen. This firm received many orders for green carnations for St. Patrick's day. Last Saturday the Livingston Seed Co. had its usual before Easter flowering plant sale at popular prices. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has an especially good stock of both flowers and plants coming on for the Easter trade. Their azaleas are the best I have seen. Gustavo Drobish at his stand on the central market is doing a good business in plants of all kinds at popular prices. Saturday being the great market day, trade is always the best. John "Williams has a quantity of blooming geraniums that will bring good prices at Easter. The new carnation houses of John R. Hellenthal are attracting much attention from the craft here. Charles M. Jones, the grower, is certainly turning out some prime flowers. Zero. HYDROCYANIC ACID GAS. I have a small greenhouse filled with miscellaneous material, and at this time of the year with annual and perennial seedlings. Three years ago someone pre- sented me with a bunch of white fly whose capacity to increase cannot be questioned. Sweet alyssum, lantana and fuchsia are their favorites. I want to reduce the ravages of the white fly and am afraid to use hydrocyanic acid gas on account of the seedlings, some just sprouting. My idea is to remove early in the morning, when I under- stand the fly is inclined to be dormant, those plants most affected into the boiler room and fumigate. The cubic feet of this room is 1,380 feet. How much gas should be used? "W. C. E. Gas carefully used will injure very few of the most tender plants. "We have tried it on maidenhair ferns, vio- lets, heliotropes and other plants which ordinary tobacco fumigation will soon ruin, and rarely found any resultant injury. "We are afraid if the seedling boxes are all moved out that many of the white fly will escape. The danger of injury from this method of fumiga- tion increases as the weather comes warmer. In midwinter our plants have never sustained any harm, but in sum- mer some leaves have suffered. This, of course, applies to all fumigants con- taining nicotine as well. For a house of 1,380 cubic feet wo would recommend using one pint water, one pint sulphuric acid, ninety-eight to ninety-nine per cent grade, and two and one-half ounces potassium cyanide. Pour the acid on the water, using a stone jar, then drop in the cyanide, which should for safety be wrapped in two thick- nesses of paper. Go right out of the house, lock the door and permit no one to enter until next day. This fumiga- tion ought to be repeated in three or four days, and then we believe you will not find many traces of the enemy. If you have any means of ventilating with- out entering the house, some air may be given after forty minutes' exposure. "We usually, however, allow it to stay in all night. C.

HEAD LETTUCE. Please give me, and other interested readers, some idea of an average cut of head lettuce from a bench 4x22 feet. M. C. S. In a bench four feet wide you can accommodate five rows. Allowing your piants to be set eight inches apart, your bench will contain about 1,500 plants. With suitable facilities and good culti- vation, there should be little or no loss, so that the numoer of plants will prac- tically give you the amount of cut. If you mean to grow lettuce through- out the season, you ought to be able to produce three crops. The firsf crop, sown at the end of August and kept moving, will be ready to cut in Decem- ber and ought to be all cleared off, so that you can plant the second (having the plants ready) by January 1. This second crop should be cleared ott by the middle of March and th6 third crop planted. The spring crop will come along faster than the others and should be ready for cutting by the middle of May. This is allowing plenty of time for each crop, but the time they will take in the bench will depend a good deal on the size and quality of your plants at time of planting. We have cut let- tuce six weeks from time of planting, but this is the exception, not the rule. It is quite possible to get your plants too large, in which case a check would result in planting which would have the effect of stunting growth. Although your plants would head up they would lack size. Only experience will teach you the proper stage at which to plant for quickest returns and best results. On the other hand, it would not pay to plant too small, as you would be losing time in having your bench occupied longer than necessary. Of course it takes some time and trouble to handle them in flats, but our experience is that it pays to handle them in that way, as they take up so much less room for al- most half the time required for their growth.

I've Just reeelTed a catalogue Fresh from the seedsman's store, A gorgeous book of fruits and flowers And veg' tables galore; And I can hardly wait until The winter's Ice and snow Melt from my well-loved garden plot To spade and rake and hoe.

There also was ditticulty getting in Howers to take care of the trade. The Pittsburg Hose and Carnation Co. was tied up, as far as railroad serviositive information can be had. One of the worst results of the flood hits been the ruining of all the under- ground telephone wires in the lower end of the city, and the wholesale houses are the worst sufferers, as most of their busiiu'ss in and out of the city was by telephone.

The Market Stock is plentiful, especially carna- tions and daffodils. Tulips are scarce and red tulips have been hard to find. Few Eoman hyacinths are to be seen. American Beauties are not plentiful at present and prices are high. Violets, the home-grown singles, are equal to the demand. Greens of all kinds are scarce. There is no wild smilax in this market and there will probably be no more this spring, so we will have to look to Chi- cago for our supply. Fern leaves and galax are scarce. Good Dutch hyacinths are not so plen- tiful; many of them are being held back for Easter. Easter lilies will be scarce. Many orders for plants and palms for Easter have been placed with some florists and some church orders have been placed a month ahead. Various Notes. Miss Dalley has the best looking show in her store of any on Eleventh street. Her tulip display is fine and causes a great deal of comment. Miss Murray's large show window on Grand avenue causes every one to notice the art in which it is arranged. There is a .millinery store in with Miss Mur- ray and the Easter bonnets /are inter- mingled with fancy pots of blooming plants. \ Geo. M. Kellogg 's store is pretty this week. He has azalea** in full bloom in great profusion, mostly white. Mr. Kel- logg says that everything is doing fine at the greenhouses. His success with bulb stock is better this '.year than any previous year, with the exception of his Easter lilies; he will no* have tue bulk of them in for Easter. He has been cutting quite a number ever since Christmas. He is now picking 5,000 violets a day and expects to put up a large house for violets this summer. He says that he will grow many more and larger ones. Business at the store has been on the increase ever since the first of the year, under the management of Mrs. Lamb. Mr. Kellogg is looking for a location in the southern part of the city on which to build a store. R. S. Brown & Co. are busy packing orders and shipping plants. Most of the orders go south at this time of the year. All of the packing is done at the Kansas City greenhouses. They is- sue a wholesale and retail catalogue. W. H. H. Marion, O.— The store of F. E.

LORRAINE BEGONIAS. Please let me know the care of Begonia (Jloire de Lorraine after it has (lone flowering. 1 want to know how to propagate from it and all about the raising of it. K. F. E. S. Begonia (Moire de Jjorraine after flowering should have all the shoots shortened hack to within six inches of tlie ])ot, jtlace on a sunny bencii, keep a little on the dry side for a time, syringe overhead until they start to l>reak freely from the bottom, when syringing may be discontinued. When the young sprouts are two to three inches long, rub them ott* witii a heel, or cut underneath a leaf with a sharp knife, insert in sharp sand in a tem- perature of (51) degrees at night. The sand should have a good warmth, say 75 degrees, in which case with careful watering, shading, etc., they sliould nearly all root. Pot off "wlien rooted into 2-inch ])ots, using a light leaf- mold c()inj)ost. With eacii successive shift a slightly heavier" comj)ost may be given. At the final jiotting use a good j)roj>ortion of old, well dried cow manure in the loam with a little char- coal and a good dasii of sharj) sand. These ])lants grow slowly in summer but start to make headway after the end of August. ('. W. CINERARIAS. When is the best time to sow cineraria seed and what is the right temperature to grow it inf K. F. E. S. Cinerarias may be sown from May to August. For general conmiercial ])ur- poses the end of July is sufficiently early. Keep the seed })ans as cool and moist as possible. The young j)lants are best grown in coldframes until danger of sharjt frost threatens them. They prefer a cool house at all times and need shade even in winter. ('. W.

The growers are maKing a supreme effort to get everything in for Easter and, from the looks of the stock at the present time, one can safely say that a large percentage of the lilies will be in good shape; with some it will require considerable forcing, vfhich is now being done quite extensively. The quality of the stock was never bet- ter. The foliage is a rich, deep green and the flowers are large. The retailers who have no glass are having some diffi- culty in buying fro^ local growers, as it is apparent there will be a heavy de- mand, with only a nominal supply. Out- side points are drawing quite heavily on the growers and, as they have ordered much earlier than some of our retailers, it begins to look as though a great many plants will be shipped in from the east. . St.PauL A visit to the establishment of Aug S. Swanson finds a full line of Easter plants in good shape. He already has a large number of lilies which are ready for the market and are now in cool houses. He also has a great many which are being forced, and will be in at the proper time. His azaleas are better this year than they have been for some time. He also has a fine lot of Baby Eam- blers. In about another week Mr. Swan- son 's new rose, Minnehaha, will be in full bloom. Last year this rose attract- ed many a florist, not only irdm the Twin Cities, but from outside points. He cut them in immense numbers and it is apparent that he will do the same this year. The Chicago market is par- ticularly active on the above rose. L. L. May & Co. will have all of their lilies in and as fine a line of other plants as they have ever had. Eetail business has been active the last week, the demand to a large ex- tent running to funeral flowers. Holm & Olson are not at all alarmed as to their Easter stock, their lilies will all be in. L. G. Venzke, formerly with E. F. Lemke, is now with Holm & Ol- son. Felix. Eau Claire, Wis. — Willis E. Kent, gardener for Mrs. Sallie F. Moon,\ was severely injured in a runaway accident March 9.

MABELLE NKW PINK CARNATION POR 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. 8t«e— 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 ri^ht from the start. Prodact. Iveneia — Prodigious is the best word we know of to use here.

Please name the best variety in each color, and treatment of plants, so they will be ready to bloom by winter. R. S. B. Queen Alexandra we consider much the best white. It has large flowers with a double anemone center, or short, white overlapping petals. Coronation is also an excellent white, with beautiful large flowers. The yellow Chrysanthemum frutescens Etoile d'Or and the large flowering variety, grandiflorum, are both worth growing. The first named is much more floriferous than the lat- ter and makes a decidedly better pot plant. For winter flowers, cuttings should be rooted now and grown along in pots all summer, keeping them (pinched from time to time and plunged in a frame or in the open ground. After they are shifted into 6-inch pots let them root freely through the bottoms of the pots. It will induce more vigorous growth and after being lifted t^ plants can be shifted into 8-inch pots, in which they will flower freely from Christmas on- ward. When they commence flowering if the pots are stood on some loam or old manure and allowed to root through, the plants will be more vigorous. For Easter blooming, cuttings may be root- ed as late as September and these will make excellent stock in 8 -inch pots by the beginning of April. W. N. C. Buffalo, N. Y. — The William F.

PLEASANT HILL, MO. George M. Kellogg has formulated a plan which he outlined at a supper given to his employees March 12, by which he will give away $1,000 annually among them. For a long time he has been consid- ering some way to create a greater in- terest in the big establishment which he has founded in Pleasant Hill. "I want you to feel as if this is your work and not mine," he said to his em- ployees in a brief talk. ' ' Its future lies with you. You are to build it up even after I am gone. I want you boys to take an interest in it. I have gone into it with prayer, and with the help of the Lord it has prospered. Now I want you to feel as if it is yours and build it up." In connection with the supper a graph- ophone concert was given. A unique idea of the head of the greenhouses was to give each of his employees one of the little round boxes in which records are shipped. They were told not to open the boxes until morning, however. In each box instead of a record for the talking machine was one-half week's salary for each person. "We are going to work fifty-four weeks out of fifty-two," was the rather mysterious statement of Mr. Kellogg. This, however, was understood when it was learned that he meant that each year he will pay two weeks' extra wages to Jiis employees. A supper will be given every three months, four times a^ year, and upon each occasion every person in the em- ploy of the greenhouses will be given half a week's salary. By this means Mr. Kellogg believes that he will get the employees deeply interested in the work and he will have persons to whom he can turn over his business when he retires. Following the supper, Mr. Kellogg went to Kansas City, where dinner was served for the seven employees of the store there. The dinner was cooked at the Kellogg home, however. While in Kansas City he paid his subscription of $1,000 to the Y. M. C. A. fund there. Mr. Kellogg is much gratified over the progress which is being made with the Blanche Kellogg Institute, of Santruce, Porto Eico, founded as a memorial to his daughter who died several years ago. In August, 1905, Mr. Kellogg agreed to give $5,000 for the purpose of founding the institute of which he desired to pay $2,000 a year. However, he has not waited the full limit of time and this month paid all the $5,000. Work will begin at once on the institute. Mr. Kellogg announced that he will shortly erect a building in South Kansas City, to be used as flats, and also as a flower store, in which he will invest about $20,000. It is probable that the present uptown office will also be re- tained. Waco, Tex. — J. D. Mercer reports double the amount of business done last year.

We have every house, nook and corner full of plants and they were never so fine as this year, 1907. While laborers, merchants, Jobbers, contract- ors, builders, etc., have increased their prices al- most double as usual, we have not advauced our prices; but look, we sell our plants at the same old prices charged two or three years ago when the cost of producing plants was much cheaper.

NEWPORT, R. L Current G>ininent. Carl Jurgens has secured a lease of two large tracts of land adjoining his greenhouse property. Mr. Jurgens felt compelled to acquire this l^nd, either by Itease or purchase, because of his rapidly increasing business and the need of land for summer planting. Andrew Christensen will, immediately after April 1, begin business as a jobbing gardener and, in connection with that, grow a general line of bedding plants. He is now busy thinking out the problem of the best kind of greenhouse to build. A visit to the greenhouses of E. T. Gerry never fails to be interesting not only because of the extent of the houses and the uniform good quality of every- thing grown there, but also because Mr. GriflSn, the gardener, is usually the first in Newport to procure a sample of a novelty when it is introduced; in fact, everything of merit in the plant line that is new or rare finds a home here. The conference on rural progress which is to be held here March 26 will give horticulturists a chance to hear Professor L. H. Bailey, dean of the Col- lege of Agriculture, of Cornell Uni- versity, speak on ' ' The Point of View in Eural Progress," and H. L. Clapp, on "School Gardens." The Newport Horticultural Society has decided to give liberal premiums to school children for wild flowers, culti- vated flowers and vegetables; also, in appreciation of tne work of the promoters of the school gardens, the society will award, at the end of the season, liberal premiums for the best school gardens in the city; the gardens to be judged at intervals throughout the season by Mr. iJutterton, the president of the society.

THE JOHN C. MONINGER CO., Manufacturers of Louisiana Red Cypress Greenhouse Construction Lumber, Blackhawk St., Cor. Hawthorne Ave., Chicago, 111., under date of November 14, 1{)06, says: "We first began using Cypress exclusively for greenhouse construction in 1885, using it previous to that time in conjunction with pine. The greenhouses built with clear Cypress, free of sap, twenty-one years ago are being used today by their owners, and the wood is found perfectly preserved and free from any decay or rot." BASSETT & WASHBURN, Growers and Wholesale Dealers in Cut Flowers, Florists' Supplies, etc., 76-78 Wabash Ave., Chicago, 111., under date of November 20, 1906, say: "Replying to your favor requesting our experience with Pecky Cypress, we will say, we have been using this grade of Cypress in our greenhouses and plant benches for the last ten or twelve years and so far have not found any of this wood that has at all rotted out. We formerly used Hemlock and Pine but found that 2-inch stock only lasted about four years while so far we have had no Pecky Cypress rot out in ten or twelve years. We use clear Cypress for all our roof work, ventilators, etc., and it is very satisfactory. We think it is the only kind of lumber for the purpose."

TIPLADY, Florist. Milwaukee, Wis. Dear Sir : — At the present time we are using your Plant Oil at our greenhouses, and thus far it has given good satisfaction and we shall continue to use it. Yours truly, HOLTON & HUNKEL. Rutherford, N. J., Jane 28, 1906. We have thoroughly tried your Plant Oil with very striking results. We may say this is the first insecticide we have tried on our palms that will remove the scale with the first application. We would like to say this is one of the few things that the florist can- not afford to be without, especially those who are growing palms and decorative plants. After one application of the oil the plants take on an entirely new appearance. We would be pleased to have prospective buyers visit our nurseries and inspect the palms on which we have used your oil. fiOBBlNK & ATKINS.

The instance of this splendid bulb re- maining so much of a rarity after 300 years' cultivation is an example of what one loses in the race for novelties, few of which are the equal of old-time bulbs grown so well by our forefathers, says a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine. "The greatest charm of Pancratium maritimum lies in its exquisite refine- ment— a character that can always be welcomed in preference to gaudy coloring, because so few plants possess it. I have met with isolated patches in several parts of Great Britain, chiefly in the gardens of specialists, and well believe it to be hardy everywhere, provided it has the driest and warmest position the garden affords. It has a glaucous tuft of leaves, handsome as such, two feet high and through, and in the autumn produces showy umbels of pure white flowers, semi- transparent, and a marvel of delicate texture. The flowers span from three to four inches, and have slender petals, prominent funnel-shaped staminal cups that support very short stamens, and their fragrance is exceptionally sweet."

It consists of pipes and nozzles so arranged that a CONTINUOUS SHEET OF WATER the full length of the line can be supplied, and at the will of the operator can be directed upward from underneath the plants, downward from above the plants or parallel with a bench so that, only the soil m the bench is watered. It can be used for syringing or watering. An entire house can be watered or syringed in only a few minutes. It is a permanent asset after being once installed, as it will never wear out, it is inexpensive and will save its cost in hose and labor in_th^-- first six months. To show the small cost of equipping an acre of ground for outside watering as far as nozzles and swivel wheels are concerned, will submit the following figures: There are approximately 44,000 square feet to the acre. My >^-inch nozzle will, with a good pressure, cover 300 square feet of ground and by first watering on one side of pipe and then on the other side, each nozzle will cover 600 square feet, or about 80 nozzles to the acre, which will cost $12.00 per acre for nozzles. Four swivel wheels will easily control the nozzles on an acre. These at $2.00 each, $8, would make the cost of wheels and nozzles only $20.00 per acre.

The grate surface of the heater is about 19x 29 inches. E. & B. No! The boiler is not large enough to carry one-half the proposed new house in addition to the one you already have. The new house can be piped in the same fashion as the one you already have, which you say gives good service. The new house should have a 3-inch flow pipe and eleven lines of 2-inch pipe, or fourteen lines of l^^-inch pipe installed as returns. The boiler has a rated capacity for 700 feet of radiation, while the two houses should have 1,050 feet, and the heater should have a rated capacity for at least 1,200 feet to be on the safe side. L. C. C. FACTORS IN HEATING PROBLEM. I note in his answer to A. E., your heating engineer, L. C. C, says glass surface is only one of the factors in a heating problem. He was given the tem- perature desired, and the outdoor tem- perature. Probably he allowed for only moderately well built houses, but I would like to know what are the other factors in a heating problem. Perhaps all of us are overlooking essential details for lack of expert knowledge. H. O. For the satisfaction of my friend H. O., I wish to say that glass area is, as a rule, only a part of the exposure of the ordinary greenhouse. In calculating heating requirements we consider the total surface exposed, sides and ends as well as roof. The question of type of construction also enters; i. e., whether the houses are connected, ridge and fur- row, or isolated; the character of heat to be used, and also the climate in which the houses are located. This will ex- plain why it has been our custom to re- quest data in regard to the length, height of side walls, height to ridge, tem- perature desired, minimum outdoor tem- perature, the type of construction and the exposure.

You can use your own preference in re- gard to the location of the main flow pipes in the houses. They may be car- ried under the ridge to the far end of the houses and there divided to supply the 2-inch returns, or you can divide the main flow at the entrance of the house and carry an independent branch for each coil on the side walls. If a single flow is provided the house 20x50 feet should have a 2V^-inch flow and thirteen 2-inch returns, six on the south and seven on the north wall. A 2-inch main flow from the boiler to the far end of the house 20x30 feet will be sufficient to feed the thirteen 2-inch returns arranged as above described. I cannot guess at the size of the radiators you will need, but you can 'figure the cubic contents of each room to be heated and allow one square foot of surface in the radiator for each thirty cubic feet of space in the room. If you have only three rooms to heat a 2^/^-inch flow pipe direct from boiler to the house should be sufficient to heat it. Probably a 2-inch pipe would be sufficient, but I cannot give accurate sizes without know- ing the dimensions of the rooms and their exposure. L. C. C.

"From 80 years of experience in the building of greenhouse boilers, he has developed this wonderful article, which is acknowledged by all who have used them to be the only perfect heater in the world. "The Hot Water Boilers sold by this firm last year alone are heating 2,158,000 square feet of glass! "Mr. Kroeschell has just constructed a new Jumbo Size, No. 15, which will take care of 60,000 square feet of g^ldss, maintaining a temperature of 60 degrees when the outside temperature is 15 deg^rees below zero. "This is said to be the largest Hot Water Greenhouse Boiler in the world. "If any of you gentlemen are florists, be sure to write Kroeschell Bros, for prices and particulars if you are in need of a boiler. They will furnish you boilers for the smallest as well as the largest greenhouses." KROESCHELL BROS.

The piping as rearranged should maintain 60 degrees to 65 degrees. L. C. C. SIZE OF BOILER. What horse-power tubular boiler would be required to heat 10,000 feet of glass to 55 degrees in Massachusetts climate? The houses are low and have no glass in the side walls. Please give size and height of the smokestack. M. W. While I do not like to estimate heat- ing capacity on glass area stated in round numbers, I think a thirty horse- power boiler should be large enough for the area you state. An 18-inch smoke- stack twenty-five or thirty feet tall, de- pending upon adjacent objects, should be sufficient. L. C. C. VAYSIDE NOTES. J. G. Barrett, of Troy, N.

The variegated variety of this euony- mus has long been known as a pretty little shrub for various purposes. In the first place, it makes a neat edging after the manner of box; next, it will carpet the ground beneath the shade of trees as well as ivy; while for furnishing bal- conies, window-boxes, etc., it has few equals. A singular feature, says a writ- er in the Gardeners' Magazine, is that if trained to a wall it often mounts up- ward quickly, and sometimes from the topmost portion large leaves are devel- oped, which just resemble those of Eu- onymus Japonicus latifolius albus. This feature is referred to by Professor Sar- gent in his "Forest Flora of Japan," for after speaking of Euonymus Japon- icus he refers to E. radicans in the fol- lowing terms: "The scandent variety is a hardier plant found carpeting the ground under the forests of Hokkaido, and in the mountain regions of Hondo climbing high on the trunks of trees, which it encircles with great masses of lustrous foliage borne on stout branches standing out at right angles, sometimes to the length of several feet. The leaves vary from one inch to four inches or five inches in length, and correspondingly in width, and show the connection of the climbing plant with the arborescent type. ' ' BLACK FLY. Can you tell me what will kill black fly? I have been bothered with it for some time. Kerosene emulsion does not afl^ect it. M. K. Fumigation with tobacco stems on suc- cessive nights will kill black fly. If you have tender plants, likely to be in- jured by the smoke from stems, use nicotine extract or aphis punk and in- crease the strength if you don 't get re- sults the first time. If chrysanthemums are infested it is a good plan to drop a little tobacco dust on the top of the shoots. If you prefer to keep the fly down by syringing, try any of the to- bacco liquids diluted in water. These won't hurt the plants if properly di- luted but kill every fly they hit. For outdoor work we find whale-oil soap the best insecticide to use. C. W. Painesville, O. — There was a small fire in the second story of Carl Hagen- burger's oflSce March 6.

A new addition to noteworthy hardy flowers that one can recommend for gen- eral cultivation will be found in the American Thalictrum purpureum, says a writer in an English gardening paper. It is doubtless a variety of the Euro- pean T. aquilegaefolium, with which it agrees somewhat in habit, but from which it is oistinct in its inflorescence. It is a sturdy border plant, a yard high, having blue-purple stems furnished with columbine-Uke leafage in elegant fan-like sprays at intervals, and the fin- est inflorescence of any thalictrum save that of T. glaucum. The general color- ing of young flower heads is a deep mauve, but as they age a charming tint of rosy heliotrope succeeds the deep mauve, and persists till the flowers fall. The inflorescences consiat of plumy masses of mauve stamens, exceed a foot in diameter, and are more freely branched than in aquilegsef olium ; hence the heads appear looser and altogether more elegant. The flowers of T. purpureum are of little or no use for cutting, the stems being hollow and unable to take up water freely; despite this drawback, the plants are second to none for grouping in the flower border, as their rich and uncommon coloring attracts at once. One should isolate this thalictrum from bril- liant reds, yellows, and other combatant colors, or its delicate beauty will be ut- terly spoiled. COPPER SULPHATE SOLUTION. I have lost the formula for the copper solution. Will you kindly furnish it? W. C. S. The Florists* Manual gives the for- mula, as follows: Copper sulphate, one pound. Water, fifteen g^lons. Dissolve the copper in the water, when it is ready for use. This should not be used on any foliage, but can be used on the wood of trees and shrubs before the buds start. New London, Wis. — E. H.

There IS a Test for You to Make » Vbu don't care how much we test the material or how much it was inspected before ship- ment if you find that your houses are going to pieces in four or five years and that the repair bills amount to almost as much as the original cost of material— do you? You are not looking for smooth advertisements gotten up to sell something that yoii find afterwards was misrepre- sented— are you ? But if your greenhouse material, after the houses are erected, stands the test of durability, if they stand the test of products and you get more out of them than the others you bought from another firm, then only are you contented. If you are looking for honest values and for cypress material that will stand any test you can make, we want to tell you something about our product. Of course we make our own tests and employ an expert to inspect all the cypress three times before it is shipped, but we want you to test it too. Here's a line from one of our customers about durability: Gentlemen: I am pleased to say that the two houses furnished me In 1896 are lasting bet- ter than those I purchased of other Arms. GBO. J.

So you write to a number of material supply concerns for their estimates on cypress houses. Then you write to two or three of the standard greenhouse construction companiesand we are included along with the rest. We look your proposition over and advise building one of our Semi-iron Houses. Our estimate then is based not on an all-wood house — not on wooden posts, wooden eave plate — not on sashbars toe-nailed directly on that heavy shade-casting plate of wood — not on giving you materials that mean repairs almost at once and a chance for us to sell you the repairs. But that estimate is based on a house with Galvanized Ice Clearing Eave Plate and Sashbar Clasps — based on Angle Iron Posts and Cast Iron Foot Pieces — based on Pipe Purlins and Interchangeable Pipe Column Fittings, making that rigid Giant Arch running the entire length of the house. It's based on a house that is built to stay — one that has all sappy parts of the Cypress sawed out and burned up. It's an estimate that will give you, dollar for dollar, more value than any other sashbar house that's made. In an honest comparison of materials and constructionsourestimate is not high — the other fellow's is not low. Thousands of feet of that Eave Plate Interior of a Semi-iron House. Wonderfully lifrht, but rlgrid. Costs a little more to build than an all-wood bouse, but it will coHt more if you don't build it. are going out to growers who often buy their Cypress of local mills ; they are buying our Iron Fittings and put- ting them in their houses because they want houses that last.

By the time these notes appear in print benches of Easter plants should bo pretty well cleaned out. We have all been taxed for room for some weeks and the passing of the lilies, azaleas, genistas and other Easter stock will give much room which is badly needed. The geraniums, as the most important bed- ding plants, have no doubt been quite badly crowded of late and should be spread out. Pull oflE any dead leaves and if you still have any remaining in 21/2- inch pots give them a shift at once. It will pay to attend to these details now. It may mean 50 cents or 75 cents a dozen in their value Memorial day. If any azaleas are left unsold do not throw them away. After blooming, pick off all seeds, keep them well watered and at the end of May plant outdoors where you can reach them with the hose daily; you will have fine plants for another Easter. Genistas can be kept quite cool. Trim off the flowers with a pair of shears as they fade. Plunge them outside rather than plant them out, as they do not lift well from the open ground. Any left-over herbaceous spiraeas may be planted out in well manured ground. Leave them there until the fall of 1908. Dig up and force them and you will have clumps treble the size of the imported ones and giving far finer flowers. The clumps you will find need cutting into two or three to get them into 6-inch or 7-inch pots. Use your left-over dpirseas in this way and see if returns are not much more satisfactory than from im- ported clumps, which sometimes fail to start at all. Cannas will now be starting freely and some of the spare bench space will be needed for them. They always sell well and should have good attention now. Do not allow any left-over Easter plants to be dotted here and there over the houses. Get them together in a batch and if any are not worth holding over throw them out and don't waste further energy in watering them. Prepare for Memorial Day. We have a longer breathing spell be- tween Easter and Memorial day than in 1906 and this gives us a better chance to get our crops along for the latter holiday. Lilies should now be well above the ground. If six inches high they will be in season. Give them a night tem- perature of 60 degrees, but do not water too freely until satisfied they are well pot-bound. Many lilies are ruined in the early stages of growth by overwater- ing, and we would hear less of diseased stock if greater judgment were exercised with the hose. Spiraea Japonica and its various forms, if potted at once, will be in season for Memorial day. If large quantities are needed use boxes six to eight inches deep, two and one -half feet long and nine inches wide, and place sev- eral clumps in a box. The watering will then be more easily handled. Crops of double feverfew and candy- tuft should receive close attention. Avoid a stuffy atmosphere. Plenty of ventila- tion and 50 degrees at night will suit them. Planting and Pruning. The arrival of spring means that many of our customers will want roses and various shrubs planted or pruned. This forsythias, loniceras, spirajas, deutzias, viburnums, weigelias and many others. Any necessary pruning should be done after flowering. On the other hand, that well-known and popular plant. Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora, needs hard prun- ing back to secure fine flower heads. Cut it back to three or four eyes of last sea- son's growth. Desmodium penduliflorum should be cut back now, also any other shrubs flowering on the new growth. How often do we see many of our handsome May and June-flowering shrubs trimmed with a balloon shape every spring by some thoughtless or ignorant workman. The winter has been a rather trying one for hardy roses and but for generous snow protection they would have suffered severely. For the northern and western states pruning before April 1 is not ad- visable. Weak shoots should either be cut out altogether or shortened back to A Specimen Easter Offering of the Ernst Wienhoeber Co., Chicago. work cannot be left to any handy man, or more harm than good mtfst result. Few men understand how to prune prop- erly. Shrubs which bloom on wood made last year must not be pruned in spring. This applies to syringas, six inches. The strongest shoots should not be left over a foot long. This refers to hybrid perpetuals. Hybrid teas need light pruning and the removal of dead wood. For the ramblers removal of dead wood, shortening back the long shoots a ,--,. ,y. ., ^JVRT •**' ' TI*^"T^ *^iwp.- V'^^r^ ^■' "VV;" *■" "(in.

Attend to the Seedlings. As the (lays lengthen the sun increases in power and growth of all plants is ac- celerated. It will be necessary to watch the many flats and pans of seedlings closely. They are now growing fast and no doubt in the Easter rush many need- ing attention were neglected. Fibrous begonias need handling while quite small. The same applies to gloxinias, lobelias and many others growing from fine seeds. Use for all seedlings a compost with a good proportion of leaf-mold in it. If some well broken up cow manure is added or the manure from a spent hotbed or mushroom bed the seedlings will grow all the better. Shade all newly pricked-off nobile and Cymbidium Lowianum; J. E. Rothwell second and James Stuart third. The last named had an excellent speci- men of Dcndrobium nobile in his collec- tion. Acacias were numerously shown and of grand quality. For twelve plants in not less than three varieties, Thomas Roland won first and a silver Inedal with beautiful grown and flowered lot; For specimen first and James Stuart second. For climbing roses, M. H. Walsh was first and second for handsome specimens of IJiawatha and Lady Gay.

For quality all these exhibits were in the first class. Mrs, J. L. Gardner took first and sec- ond for six schizanthuses. Mrs. J, M. Sears, W. C.

Sidney Hoffman had the best group of Easter flowering plants and W. Whitman won for best general display of spring bulbous plants, with a magnificent lot grandly grown, which were awarded also a cultural cer- tificate. Mrs. J. L. Gardner took Julius Roehrs Co. 's special pHze for best group of hard-wooded greenhouse plants with a fine collection well flowered. In cut flowers roses were not exten- sively shown. Waban Conservatories won for American Beauty, Bride and Bridesmaid. For Richmond, W. H. El- liott was first and Exeter Rose Conserva-. tories second. For any other variety, W. H. Elliott won with superb Killar- ney, Exeter Rose Conservatories follow- ing with splendid Chatenay. In the pri- vate gardener's classes, James Wheeler was first for Bride and Bridesmaid and second for Richmond, F. Heeremans be- ing first for the latter. For 100 carnations, one variety, A. Roper won with a magnificent vase of his new variegated. Bay State. This was also awarded a first-class certificate. F. R. Pierson Co. was second for a fine vise of Winsor, the color of which caught every one's eye. For crimson, Wilfrid Wheeler, S. J. Goddard and Backer & Co. won in order named, all showing seedlings for a few days. A neglect to do this may mean a loss of many of the little plants. THE BOSTON SPRING SHOT. The unanimous verdict on this year's spring exhibition at Boston was that it was the best the Massachusetts Horti- cultural Society has ever held. It was feared that the near approach of Easter would affect the exhibition and that the lack of the American Rose Society 's dis- play, Avhich was a feature in 1906, would leave a big blank space. All the fears proved groundless. Of course fewer roses were shown than a year ago, but the exhibits in all other sections were more extensive and of a higher quality. The arrangements were tastefully car- ried out and reflected great credit on Messrs. Cameron and Farquhar. All the halls were utilized ; in fact, every inch of space was occupied. Taking the pot plants first, as they were the star feature of the show: For six Indian azaleas, in a strong class, the prizes went to William Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener; James Stuart and E. W. Breed. For pair of palms, Mrs. F. Ayer, George Page gardener, won with Areca lutescens; William Whit- man second with kentias. Mrs. Ayer was first for six ericas, showing plants three feet in height, densely flowered. For three orchids there was a strong entry. W. WTiitman won with beautiful speci- mens of Coelogyne cristata, Dendrobium A Section of the Boston Spring Flower Show. J. L. Smith gardener, third. Cycla- mens, as usual, were grandly shown. Dr. C. G. Weld, W. C. Rust gardener, led for ten plants. For group of cycla- mens arranged for effect, James Stuart won with a splendid group. For six cinerarias, James Stuart led, followed by J. H.

A grower who daily has large quan- ties of cut flowers to find a market for, and yet does not wish to maintain a selling establishment of his own, cannot do better than to entrust a wholesale commission florist with the entire selling of his stock. Now, if you expect good returns from your flowers, you must give your commission florist a chance to rep- resent you properly and get you good returns; and the only way to accomplish this is to send all your stock every day in the year to him. Then you will be one of the instrumental elements that go to make his business a success, and if his business is to continue prosperous he must for self-preservation return to you a good price (the market price) for your stock. "You cannot hi.>e your cake and eat it too" — you cannot sell all you can anywhere and to anybody who will pay you a good price, and then send the leavings and culls to your commission man, expecting any return. You will fare by him as well as you treat him, and no better. Wholesale all your stock through him, and he will make it his business that you receive the fullest measure of value for every flower you grow.

The small wholesale grower of plants and flowers will, on the other hand, do much better to find one or more retail dealers who will handle his product. Especially, if he be a grower of the "superb quality stock," will he en- counter no trouble in finding dealers with whom he can contract his entire cut by the year. I have a case in mind where a grower of carnations, with only two small greenhouses and a cut not exceeding a few hundred a day, has done well and made money by contracting the entire product of his houses by the year. Being a grower of superb stock, he can do this without the least trouble, and the extra price obtained always insures a handsome profit. The same method of disposal applies with equal force to the plant product of a small grower. There are always plenty of retail dealers only too willing and ready to purchase well- grown, seasonable plants. The Best Method. I believe that the best method of marketing our product depends wholly upon the size of the establishment we wish t6 maintain, and the volume of those of us whose desires are to build a business of the largest magnitude; that is, one of the mammoth establishments of the present day, there is no way equal to legitimate trade newspaper advertis- ing. Proper advertising, regularly and persistently followed, will dispose of all the plants and flowers any establishment can produce. For the large grower of cut flowers, who does not wish to maintain an estab- lishment of his own for selling his prod- uct, there is no better outlet than through the agency of the wholesale commission florist, as fully explained. Do not think I have forgotten the little grower, for such is very far from the case. I am sure, from personal ex- perience, that in no way can he begin to realize the substantial prorits from his labors as by contracting his entire prod- uct, both plants and flowers, to some good retailer, who has a trade that de- mands goods of the best quality. For the little grower has no excuse for turn- ing out anything else. Even tne larger grower of plants will always find plenty of nearby retail dealers ready to take them. In closing, allow me one word of ad- vice— the best advertising sign a whole- sale grower ever puts up in his green- houses contains these words: "No Goods at Retail." PACKING AND EXPRESS RATES. [A paper by C. W. Eichllng, New Orleans, read before the Society of Southern Florists, at its first annual convention, at New Orleans, Feb- ruary 14 to 16, 1907.] If we consider that the plants and flowers annually shipped over the United States are valued at millions of dol- lars, the immense business of transporta- tion companies, and especially express companies, becomes evident. Why do shippers of plants, bulbs and seeds enjoy special low express rates? Simply because the express companies compete with the United States mail. Uncle Sam was the first good friend of the florist ; he offered to carry his plants, bulbs and sQpds to any part of the United States at the rate of two ounces for 1 cent, or 8 cents per pound, in packages up to four pounds. Now comes the express company and goes Uncle Sam one better, and says to the florist : "If you will pack right, we will carry your goods at the same rate as Uncle Sam, and give you a re- ceipt, which Uncle Sam refuses to do, and if you prepay your shipments we will return you 2 cents on every ship- ment weighing from fifty to seventy- four ounces." A package weighing fifty ounces would cost 25 cents by mail and 23 cents by express, if prepaid. The minimum express charge is 10 cents on packages up to twenty ounces. This prepaid matter is called in the express tariff, section D matter, and the rate applies on packages up to seventy-four ounces. The difference between mail and express rates in this class is a sav- ing of 2 cents per package if shipped by express, besides getting a receipt for it. General Special Rate. Packages weighing over seventy-four ounces are billed out, whether prepaid or not, at what is called the "general special" rate, which I shall now ex- plain. If the florists were compelled to pay regular merchandise rates on plant ship- ments there would be no end to com- plaints, and yet, why should the florist be the favored one among the great number of other shippers who all pay regular merchandise rates, with a few exceptions? The florist enjoys the gen- eral special rate, which is from twenty to thirty-three and one-third per cent lower than the regular merchandise rate. The rates are adopted by all express companies belonging to the traffic com- mittee, and it becomes the duty of every shipper or receiver of bulbs, plants and seeds to study these rates in order to avoid and to be able to correct mis- takes. A plant shipment to enjoy this special rate must be packed in a closed box so it may be handled with other express matter without any special care. Plants packed in baskets do not come under this class. They must be handled with more care, and the express company charges you for this extra work by ap- plying the pound rate, which is a little higher than the general special rate, but still much less than the regular merchan- dise rate. For instance, where a ten- pound package of merchandise from Chi- cago to New Orleans would cost $1.10, a ten-pound basket of plants would cost 40 cents, and if packed in a box, only 35 cents. Thirty-five cents is the mini- nuim charge for a box or package of plants at general special rates. The general special rate adopted by the traffic committee is as follows, using 100 pounds as a basis : If Mdse. Rate Is $1.00 Genl Special is $ .80 If Mdse. Kate is 2.00 Gen'I Special is 1.50 If Mdse. Kate is 3.00 Gen'I Special is 2.25 If Mdse. Rate Is 4.00 Genl Special Is 2.90 If Mdse. Rate Is 5.00 Gen'I Special Is 3.40 If Mdse. Kate is 6.00 Gen'I Special Is 4.00 The merchandise rate between New Orleans and Springfield, Ohio, is $3.50 per hundred pounds, or $2.90 special rate, which means 2 9-10 cents per pound. Then, a box of plants weighing ■ -'T ".'" 1450 The Weekly Florists' Review^ Mabch 28, 1907. sixty pounds would be carried between these two points for $1.74. It must be said, in justice to the ex- press companies, that all their em- ployes are instructed to observe the tar- iff on general specials, but the trouble is that few bill clerks ever study these regulations. Especially agents in small towns, where general specials are an ex- ception, are liable to overcharge on plant shipments, and the receiver, who may not be familiar with the correct charges, gets disgusted with the high ex- press rates. Thousands of customers are annually lost in this manner, and it be- comes the duty of the shipper to call the express agent's attention to the class of matter to which his shipment belongs. This may be done by having on your shipping tags the remark, printed in bold type : ' * Live Plants — Special Bate," or by attaching a special card, stating weight and correct express charges to destination. This requires a complete knowledge of rates between the different points, which may be obtained at any express oflS.ce. It is advisable for a receiver of a plant shipment, before paying charges, to ask the agent whether the shipment is billed at special rate, and in most cases mis- takes will be avoided. CARNATION NOTES.— VEST. Hot Weather Notes. During the last week we have passed through the hottest weather the writer has ever seen in March, and if it had been a few weeks later it would have made one think seriously of getting the young stock out in the field. Even as it was, in looking around one could see preparations going on which will not be seasonable for another month. While it is a good plan to get the young stock out just as quickly as possible after the weather is safe, we have never consid- ered it wise to put them out when there is yet danger of frosts and snow. We have seen some fine stock ruined by such a policy. We do not consider it safe anywhere, above Mason and Dixon's line, before April 15 to set out tender stock, and frequently the weather is such in our locality as to prevent a start before May 1. A young plant, if it is not too pot-bound, is better off indoors if good growing weather does not prevail outdoors. So don 't get anxious, but keep your young plants in good growing condition and wait for safe weather. You cannot afford to run any risks with your next season's stock for the sake of a few extra days in the field, lou can make all your preparations, however, and I will speak of them in due time. It pays to get an early start in all opera- tions connected with carnation growing. Such hot weather as we have been hav- ing is hard on the blooming stock. With the ventilators wide open to keep the temperature down and a drying wind blowing, the buds hang over the sup- ports. The color bleaches out of the pink varieties enough to make the blooms unsalable, unless they are handled skill- fully. The most natural impulse would be to apply a little shade on the glass, and, except for the tear of what might happen to the Easter cut in case of a cool, cioudy spell this week, we would be tempted to resort to it. Better lose a few blooms than run the chance of reducing your Easter cut to any extent. "iou can overcome the effects of the hot sun on the color, to a marked degree, by cutting the blooms quite close every morning. Cut them just as soon as they are far enough along to develop in water. In that way you can put off shading as long as the houses do not become too hot for the plants. The plants like the bright sunshine and, as long as the temperature can be kept down by ventilation to a reasonable de- gree, no shading should be done. Until the plants become accustomed to the hot sun it will pay to spray them lightly right after noon, in addition to the regular morning's watering. In- stead of shooting it on the plants, like when you syringe, shoot it up high through the air in a fine spray. This will cool off the house, as well as spray the plants. A. F. J. Baur. CARNATION MAY. Carnation May, illustrated in this is- sue, is a seedling raised by Baur & Smith, of Indianapolis. Its parents (it has only two!) were seedlings originat- ing on the place. The size is moderate, two and one-half to three and one-half inches. The firm says of it: * ' May is a strictly commercial va- riety. . We do not expect it to displace Enchantress in the fancy class, but it is just what the *rade has been looking for in a light pink to grade with stand- ard sorts. The -color is much deeper than in Enchantress. The bloom is not so crowded in the center, which allows it to open up perfectly right away. The form is round and well built up in the center. The calyx never splits and the stem always is strong. Growth is strong and healthy and it grows in height about the same as Bountiful. It comes into bloom early and is extremely free." TOPPING CARNATION PLANTS. Will you kindly inform me how to top young carnation plants? Mine are in 2- inch and 3-inch pots and are sending up one straight shoot and I would like to know where and how to top them. E. H. O. The proper time to top young carna- tion plants is when they begin to run up to bud and as soon as you can see the stem between the leaves. It will do the plant no damage to progress as far as forming the bud, but we consider that to allow them to progress that far is to waste a coupie of weeks of time during which they might as well be making new breaks. As to the place to top them, I would Carnation May. ' H,!l|p^W|! iP.JJ.i',' ^ y^J ■^.H."- Ji»,M_l||i^.-f P-l ,>•. "TTV •T«w?i7»jp7~^.f- ■n -r**^r/i. ti ■ March 28, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* I45J Tufa Stone Rockery in G>n8ervatory of L L. EUwood, De Kalb^ lU. say it depends somewhat on the variety and the young plant, too. Some va- rieties, when they are topped, will break from nearly every eye above the soil, while others will break from only three or four eyes, and you must top them ac- cordingly. The first named should be topped as high as possible without leav- ing any eyes that will throw flower buds. These usually need not be topped more than about twice to make fine plants. The other kind must not be topped too high, as they always break from the eyes nearest the end, and if you get too much stem below the body of the plant it is likely to get top-heavy and fall over before digging time. Until you become familiar with your varieties it would be advisable to top all of them about medium and then be guided in the future by the way they break away this time. Leave five or six joints above the soil. Some growers top all varieties as high as possible, thinking it advantageous to have considerable stem between the soil and the crown of the plant. One argu- ment is that it helps to prevent stem-rot, but I do not agree with that theory. You will find that when a plant breaks from an eye below the surface the growth below the surface will be the same as that of the plant between the roots and the surface, and it will not decay like a branch that is covered after it is grown. As for stem-rot, if the fungus is in the soil and the atmospheric conditions are right, it will attack the plants, and, whether the stems are long or short, will make no difference. On the other hand, if the stems are short, there is less danger of too deep planting, as the plants will stand up better. A. F. J. B. TUFA STONE. Tufa is a material which has come to be largely used for rockeries, grottoes, fountains and the like, where an irregu- lar effect is desired, a natural or in- formal effect, in contrast to the regular and artificial. Tufa stone is manufac- tured by the Tufa Incrustation Co., an Ohio concern, and is shipped in any de- sired quantity, being easily placed in position by any builder or gardener. The accompanying illustration was pre- pared from a photograph made in the conservatory of Isaac Ellwood, the barbed-wire magnate, at De Kalb, 111. This rockery was built by Probst & Christianson, the horticultural builders, who are the sole western agents for tufa stone. BY A GROWER. I know, blue, modest violets. Gleaming wkh dew at morn — I know the place you come from. And the way that you are bom! When God cut holes In heaven — The holes the stars look through — He let the scraps fall down to earth; The little scraps are you. PLANTS FOR FRAMES. What is the best manure and what kind of fertilizer should I use on the ground for violets to be set out this spring? They will be covered with cold- frames in the autumn. Which make the best plants, the new runners or the crowns? What is the best way to keep down red spider? J. P. W. There is nothing better for violets, in the way of fertilizer, than well-rotted cow manure. Of course if it really is impossible to procure this, we would use well-rotted horse manure, but it must be well-rotted; for instance, such as has been used in hotbeds and the heat all spent, and in fine, good, work- ing condition. ,T. P. W. does not say what kind of soil he has, but the chances are that when he is spreading his ma- nure a dusting of lime would be bene- ficial, as would also a little salt, say about a pint to a bushel of manure. This helps to fine the manure and kills the white grubs that breed in the ma- nure. New runners are preferred, by all means. Note our remarks only a short time ago. But it is getting late in the season, so that if you have not al- ready worked up your stock you may have to divide the crowns. The best way, by far, to keep down red spider is not to let it get a foothold, as it takes time, as well as lots of water sprayed on with force, to eradicate the pest when once it gets established. And, too, it is so much h?rder to do in frames than where you grow your violets in the house. B. E. S. TEACHING HORTICULTURE. Professor L. H. Bailey, director of the Agricultural Department of Cornell Uni- versity, has been giving some, excellent advice on the all-important question of training young men who intend engaging in horticultural pursuits. Speaking at a meeting of horticulturists, he said that "the time is past when mere expository work — instruction by means of lectures and books — is sufficient to meet the de- mands. The botanist and the chemist no longer teach by lectures and literary means alone ; they have laboratories in which the students work for themselves and develop their own experience. * ' The horticulturists also teach by lab- oratory work, but we have not yet come to a full realization of the competent horticultural laboratory. It is useful to have laboratory exercises on grafting, propagation and on pruning and spray- ing, and some of the operations of plant breeding; but these alone are inciden- tal, and they really trifle with a great subject. The laboratory work should cover the whole theory and process of the given art. In the pomological division it should be a laboratory of, say, fifty acres of actual orchards, in which all phases of the work, from start to finish, may be in natural operation; and if these phases cannot be taught at the time of year when the students are in the habit of coming to college, the time of coming should be changed, for the sea- sons and the operations that follow the U50 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Mauch 28, 1907. sixty jtcniiuls ^snuld l.c carrii'ci Ix'twccMi tliose two jioiiits I'or $1.74.

The beauty of this perennial pea from Chili should go a long way toward ren- dering it popular for the cool green- house and for cutting. Climbing plants of its particular color shade are rare, the only likely competitor being Plumbago capensis, a plant nearly every one grows. The lathyrus is not hardy save in the warmer parts of Britain, says the Gar- deners' Magazine, but needs nothing more than the coolest treatment. Culti- vated under glass, it gives one a wealth of blossom in June, and sends up relays of flowering growths from the base throughout summer if occasionally fore- shortened. It is full of ailments as a seedling, and numbers die from excess of damp, but once it enters the second grow- ing season it becomes strong and starts to flower. Its foliage is grayish, as in the culinary pea, the gray being due to a soft, downy covering that persists till the leaves grow old. The flower sprays have long stems that will delight the dec- orator, each spray containing seven to nine flowers that are nearly the equal of well-grown sweet peas in size, and quite the equal in floral value. The annual growth exceeds seven to eight feet. One cannot treat an old specimen too well, provided it is in a well-drained spot. PROPAGATING DRACAENAS. As a plant for the novice in propaga- tion to try his hand upon, the dracaena must be placed in the very first flight. He must be indeed a novice, and a care- less one at that, if given an old, leggy dracaena, he cannot work up a decent batch of plants. Let us have a look at our dracffna. It is an old terminalis, in a 5-inch pot, but so robbed of leaves by an overdose of housework that what few remain are at the top of a respecta- ble length of bare stem. But its grow- ing point is uninjured. We shall first ring or tongue our plant! Ringing consists of carefully cut- ting away a ring of bark about an inch below the bottom good leaf. Tonguing is performed by making a cut half way through the stem an inch or so below the bottom leaf, in the same way that one makes a tongue in a carnation layer. Both plans are good, but of the two I prefer the tongue, as one quickly ob- tains a mass of roots. In either case the cut part of the stem must be ex- cluded from the light, and kept moist, for we want roots to issue from it. At one time we accomplished this by split- ting a small flower pot lengthwise, fas- tening the two halves round the cut stem, and filling the pot with soil. Now we find that a handful of wet moss placed round the cut, and secured by a few twists of raffia, answers the pur- pose equally well. The moss is kept con- stantly wet with the syringe, and when white roots are seen to be pushing their points through it, the stem is severed beneath it, and the moss and roots are buried to the lowest leaf in a well- drained pot of soil. If at all carefully carried out, ringing or tonguing never fails to give a good plant in a short time. When, however, the house can be kept at 55 degrees at night, and also con- tains a propagating case, ringing and tonguing may be dispensed with, and the top boldly severed, and rooted as a cutting. The advantage of this system is that the old stem of the plant is im- mediately available for propagating pur- poses, whereas one must wait until roots are formed under the ringing process. Having disposed of the top, let us turn our attention to the old stem, and to facilitate matters we will knock the latter out of the pot, and shake away all the soil. With a sharp knife we will now cut up the stem into portions one inch long, and if we want as many plants as possible we will split each section down the middle. Every section, split or unsplit, is capable of forming a new plant. We take a cutting pan, fill it to within an inch of its rim with a compost of equal parts of loam, leaf-mold and coarse sand, and then sprinkle a layer of sand over all. On this layer we arrange our sections of stem, flat and cut side down, about an inch apart, cover with a half inch of compost, and water well. Space in the propagating case is too precious to take this pan, so we stand it on the hot-water pipes, if possible. In a very short time, provided plenty of heat and water are given, tiny green spears will be seen pushing through the soil, and when these are from one inch to two inches long, they will generally be accompanied by roots issuing from the other side of the cut section. When this stage is reached potting singly in 2i{!-inch pots should follow, with care- ful watering, plenty of warmth, and syringing. When old plants are dealt with, says a writer in a British contemporary, it will generally be found that they pos- sess one or more thick, fleshy white roots. These may be cut up, split, and treated exactly as the stem sections, and will make plants equally as easily and quick- ly. Either kind, root or stem section, should push growths through the soil in less than a month after insertion, if heat and moisture iu plenty are forth- coming. -.ir.^j.^j^^.- r'.-^>'a ... ■'» 4Y-*-\!" ■TT' .

To protect the feeding roots that are now ne&r the surface from strong sun- shine, and to keep the benches from drying out too quickly, they should now get a liberal mulching of rich compost. The soil, if the plants have been doing good work, will by this time be much exhausted, and, as the spring growth is now on, they will require some fresh material to work on. By mulching now rfthe Diooms can be kept up to size for quite a long time, even in hot weather. The compost should consist of two parts decomposed cow manure and one part good rose soil. To this should be added fifteen or twenty pounds of desic- cated bone meal to each cubic yard of compost, the whole to be thoroughly in- corporated and put on the bench one inch thick. Passing the compost through a screen of an inch mesh makes it more easily spread, covering the ground more uni- formly and making it more assimilable than if put on in a rougher state. This mulching, with the aid of liquid feed- ing, should keep the soil in good condi- tion till planting time. Tor Beauty benches, which should now be making a heavy growth, this is indispensable, as without it many of the buds will fail to reach a salable size. Those buds on extra strong canes of Beauties, which, by reason of the soft- ness of the wood, fail to develop prop- erly, should be picked off instead of cut- ting the stem. At the base of these buds will be found one or more buds, which in five or six weeks W'ill make excellent flowers. Young Beauty stock should be fumi- gated once a weeK and syringed with force twice every bright day. Keep all buds picked off and give the plants plenty of rbom on the benches. Kibes. PRUNING HARDY ROSES. Winter is at an end for another year and the time is not far distant when we may reasonably expect spring weather and among a multitude of other duties which fall to the lot of the florist is the pruning of hardy roses, not only for liimself, but in many cases for numbers of his customers. This is work which no novice can attend to properly. None but an experienced hand should do it, or from the pruning more harm than good may be the result. Hybrid perpetuals are usually pro- tected by being earthed around with soil, or by manure and leaves. The first method furnishes much the better pro- tection. After clearing away the soil, which can be done any time after the frost leaves the ground, preferably from the beginning to the middle of April, except for the warmer states, all weak shoots should be taken out entirely and the more robust ones cut down to with- in six or eight inches of the start of the preceding year's growth. T"his hard pruning will make the plants break strongly. Lighter pruning may be adopted if an earlier crop of small flowers is desired for mass effect, but the quality cannot approximate that of the well cut back plants. Hard prun- Our surplus is all sold. m is a hustler and an order getter^ which we are much pleased with. V4LDESIAN NURSERIES. Boslict N. C, March 23, 1907. ing makes it much easier to protect the lower, current season's buds when win- ter covering is needed. Hybrid teas and teas are becoming in- creasingly popular, and there is little wonder, for they are persistent bloomers, especially the first named. As a rule they need much heavier protection than the hybrid perpetuals. Some growers lift them and bury overhead in a trench. Others place in coldframes, while in more favored locations earthing up with soil and a covering of spruce boughs an- swers very well. The vigorous canes of these roses may be shortened back to one-third of their length. More moder- ate ones only need the thin ends cut off. Weak ones are better removed entirely. Some judicious pruning may also be done in summer. After a crop of flow- ers has faded, trim the shoots back a little. If flowers are cut as they open thig will not need doing. Old stock of any of the tea roses grown under glass make satisfactory beds if pruned back well and watered occasionally. We have seen Bridesmaid, Kaiserin, Carnot and other roses make a really excellent show treated in this way, and it is worth while trying a bed of them. Ramblers, such as Crimson, Philadel- phia, Swieetheart, Farquhar, Dorothy Perkins, Lady Gay, Carmine Pillar, De- butante, Mrs. Egan and others of like nature, should merely have weak and dead wood removed and laterals short- ened back to three or four buds each; also any of the preceding year's flower- ing wood which may not have been taken out after the blooms faded last sum- mer. The same applies to all the hybrid sw-eetbriars usually known as Lord Penzance's briars. These are well worth a place in any garden. ' The flowers have a large range of color. Bedding roses, like Clothilde Soupert, Hermosa, Maman Cochet and its white form, Gruss an Teplitz and Baby Ram- bler should be cut back about half way. Have all the dead wood removed and weak laterals shortened back well. They are satisfactory varieties to grow and give a maximum of bloom for a mini- mum of care. Beds kept mulched with old manure and occasionally hoed over with old flowers cut off as they fade will bloom all summer long. C. W. ROSE QUEEN OF SPAIN.

The plant has been a success from the start, under the management of Mr. Burki, who, with his family, lives on the place in a fine, modern home. Since that time they have put up iron-frame houses, most of them 50x450 feet, until they now have 200,000 square feet under glass. Five boilers have 650 combined horse-power. The packing houses are 30x80 feet, the ice-house with cooling room 30x40 feet. There are eighteen dwellings, a hotel to accommodate the unmarried men, office, two large barns with building for grain, hay and ma- chinery, a bowling alley, soil-shed, and all other necessary buildings on a farm. There are also four producing oil wells and two gas wells. The farm is about one-third in good oak timber, the balance mostly in grass, with two good orchards. Last year they purchased an additional thirty acres to shape up one corner of the farm, and now, at the close of the sixth year, they show an in- vestment of $200,000. Some advance is likely, however, later in the week, when best quality will proba- ))ly make $1. Bulbous stock is in good supply and little change in price. Easter lilies are bringing 10 cents to 12l^ cents per bud, callas about the same prices. Sweet peas are abundant and of grand quality. They sell well. Valley is in good supply and there is a fine quantity of antir- rhinum, mignonette, anemones, ranuncu- lus, primroses and other seasonable flow- ers. There is no special change in green stock, of which a good supply is forth- coming. Qub Field Day. About sixty members of the Garden- ers' and Florists' Club joined in the field day at the establishment of W. W. Edgar Co., Waverley, March 23. The visitors were first piloted through the .houses by Mr. Edgar and David Lums- den. A large house of lilies was in fine shape for Easter; little trace of disease seen. About 4,000 azaleas were in the pink of condition. Many fine specimens of Novelty, a fine rosy-red variety, were noted. Niobe, Postmeister Stephan, Van- der Cruyssen, Helene Thelemann, Me- villeas, pink and white hydrangeas and other plants. Mr. Roland will try his hand at growing the waxy race of ericas another year. J. T. Butterworth, in addition to his usual big lot of lily of the valley, bulbous stock, etc., had a fine batch of Dendro- bium Wardianum for Easter. Welch Bros, had sold more Easter plants up to March 22 than during their whole Easter trade a year ago and at better prices. They anticipate record- breaking business this week. H. M. Robinson & Co. are having a heavy trade in flowers and greenery this week and are being kept rushed every hour of the day. Albert Roper's new variegated carna- tion. Bay State, was much admired at the last club meeting and spring show. Mr. Roper has 2,000 plants of it grow- ing. He has a seedling of better size and color than Fair Maid and said to be three times as prolific, which should also be heard from. F. R. Pierson, at the recent club meeting, spoke highly of Carnation Mel- ody, the light pink sport of Lawson, and said it made much higher prices than Enchantress, holding its color better. One of the Ranges of the Pittsburg Rose and Gunation Co., Bakerstown, Pa. -aey grow roses, carnations, Aspara- gus plumosus, Sprengeri, chrysanthe- mums, and a few other smaller things, the whole cut making a good wagon- load every morning, shipped to the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., of which Mr. Burki is president. BOSTON. The Market. The usual shortening up of supplies is now quite apparent and large quantities of flowers are being held back. Prices are satisfactory, perhaps better than they will be on some lines at the end of the week. We have had one or two warm days, which were welcomed by those whose pot plants were a little bacikward. The thermometer reached 72 in the shade March 23. Cooler conditions, however, have prevailed since that time. Roses are quite plentiful. Plenty of Beauties ■will be forthcoming for Easter and it looks like a generous supply of all other sorts. Prices have crept up somewhat on all lines. Carnations are bringing much better prices ; nothing below $4 and best grades up to $8 and $10. Violets are abundant and averaging about 50 cents. moire Louis Van Houtte and Bernard Andre alba were other favorites. Rambler roses, acacias, astilbes, lilacs and a variety of other stock was noted at the old establishment, in addition to the quantities of ferns, palms and bedding plants. Before proceeding to the new plant, some distance away, refreshments were served. On motion of President Westwood three cheers and a tiger, fol- lowed by the singing of "He's a jolly good fellow," were accorded Mr. Edgar and further cheers given for Mrs. Edgar and a daughter born only two days previously. Mr. Edgar's little daughters recited, W. J. Stewart sang ' ' Annie Laurie, ' ' P. Welch and others made a few remarks and then all proceeded to the new establishment. Here one house 40x200 was planted with tomatoes. Comet being used. In another house 25,000 bedding geraniums in 3 1/4 -inch pots were seen. Some 7,500 hydrangeas were also coming along for Memorial day trade. Variotis Notes. Thomas Roland had 1,800 finely grown rambler roses, mostly pink, for Easter trade. He also had splendid lots of acacias, marguerites, lilies, bougain- They will bench 10,000 of it next sea- son at Tarrytown. B. K. Howard, the instructor of the landscape classes of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, will address the next club meeting on April 16 on landscape gar- dening. At the May meeting Duncan Finlayson will tell the members how to plant and care for an Italian garden. The club banquet will be held on or about April 17 and tickets will be pur- chasable from members of the executive committee and officers of the club. William Nicholson, as usual, has a grand lot of white and yellow mar- guerites of which he is cutting some thousands weekly. These always meet with a quick sale.

This year the wholesale markets have had many more Enchantress than any other variety of carnation. From the demand for cuttings it appears that next season there may be pretty nearly as many Enchantress as all other sorts com- bined. Get a printed letter-head; let appear- ances indicate that you really are in busi- ness. The plant business has now reached the carload stage, two such shipments being reported in this week's Chicago column. Unseasonably warm weather last week glutted the cut flower i^iarkets from one end of the country to the other and made Easter supplies abun- dant, if not of superlative quality. There is a big call for chrysanthe- mum cuttings. Those who have good varieties, w«ll rooted, for present deliv- ery can sell them quickly by offering them in the Review's advertising col- umns. Geraniums from 2-inch or 2i/^-inch pots are hard to find; most of those who have them are holding for the profit to be made by growing on into 4-inch pots after Easter stock is out of the way.

At the executive committee meeting of the Chrysanthemum Society of Amer- ica, held in New York city March 14, it was unanimously voted to hold the next meeting of the society in New York, thereby accepting the kind invitation ex- tended by the American Institute through Dr. Hexamer. The enthusiasm with which the committee enters upon its duties augurs well for a successful meet- ing in November. The date is left open for the present and all possible care will be taken to prevent its con- flicting with any dates already arranged, so that a majority will be able to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded to exhibit at, and visit, what promises to be the best chrysanthemum show ever held in New York. Many valuable pre- miums will be offered for commercial and exhibition varieties, particulars of which will be published upon comple- tion of arrangements. The constantly increasing membership is very gratifying, proving an awakened interest in the important work of the national society. But there are still many who, by their skill in producing such wonderful examples of the highest culture, should fall in line and lend their influence to the advancement of public interest in the queen of autumn, and thereby become links in the chain of recognized professionals in the culture of the chrysanthemum. Do not under- estimate the value of your accomplish- ments. Identify yourself with the best growers and share in the mutual ex- change of advanced ideas, and so keep pace with the increasing popularity of the flower we love. David Eraser, Sec'y. TO CANADIAN SUBSCRIBERS. The present postal treaty between the United States and Canada expires May 7. The Canadian government has before it a proposition to increase the rate of postage on periodicals from the United States to such an extent as to render it necessary for American publishers to materially raise their subscription prices to Canadian subscribers. If Canadian friends of the Review object to such an increase of prices, it will be well for them to make known their objections at once to the Canadian postal authorities. ROSE SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP. Reviewing the work of the American Rose Society since the Boston meeting, Secretary Benjamin Hammond said: * ' Our present membership extends from Bellingham in northwestern Washington to Schlesian, Germany. We have lost in all five life members by death — E. G. Asmus, E. M. Wood, H. Dale, George Fancourt and J. L. Dillon, the two lat- ter within the last year, and each of these men was an active rose-grower. Two new life members were added to our list, S. S. Pennock and Robert Simp- son, making forty-three active. The an- nual membership who have paid up their dues for this year number ninety-one, divided as eighty-five active and six as- sociate members. This division of asso- ciate members seems as if it may bring into touch with this society an extended number of people interested in local so- cieties. ' ' AS OTHERS SEE US. It is with great pleasure that I send $2.50 to pay my subscription another year. It is not only the American florists who can profit by the Review, but even for the florists in Denmark it is a very helpful and up-to-date paper, and a source of valuable information, I keep several Danish, German and English trades papers, but the Review beats them all.

CHICAGO. The Great Central Market We have had a week of summer. Sat- urday, March 23, the temperature was 80 degrees in the shade, a record with- out parallel in the history of the local weather bureau. The natural result has been that the market has been glutted with stock. There has been too much of everything, and it has been impossi- ble to realize anything like quoted rates in any department. On Wednesday, with Easter only four days away, the market was at its worst. Everything was a glut, Avith qualities deteriorating rapidly un- der the influence of the damp, hot air and no legitimate outlet or value for more than a small part of the receipts. The increase in supply has been more pronounced in roses than in carnations, although the latter have sold at the low- est prices of the season as late as Wednes- day. American Beauties became over- abundant, in common with other roses. Easter lilies came hurrying in a week before they were wanted, and all bulb stock felt the stimulus of the Avarm, bright days in spite of all the growers could do to hold it back for Easter. Out- door stock from the south adds to the congestion. It is now certain that there will be an abundance in all lines for the Easter business. The booking of orders has been heavier than usual, but espe- cially so on lilies. It now appears that most of the lilies will be ready and wholesalers have no fear of a shortage. Roses will be plentiful and all bulbous stock will be in huge supply. Violets, sweet peas, mignonette, and pansies all are coming in heavily. The carnation crop has not felt the effect of the weath- er so much as other lines, although re- ceipts are heavy. The fact is that the carnation crop is on the down grade; we have had our heaviest production, some growers say, until late in the spring. Out of town buyers need have no hes- itancy in calling on this market for ad- ditional supplies of stock if they find their Easter demand running ahead of anticipations. This market will have the stock to meet all calls up to Saturday night and every wholesaler will exert himself to see that orders are out promptly. They all will be thinking of the orders which are to come after Easter. The local buyers have laid in heavily of plants, but have not yet bought much in the cut flower line, except lilies, hop- ing for a repetition of last year's ex-' perience, when the market broke badly after the shipping demand had been taken care of. George Reinberg, Orchid Specialist. Joseph Foerster, manager of the sell- ing end of the George Reinberg estab- lishment, states that in the last week they have placed an order with the Ju- lius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J., for established orchid plants for immediate shipment sufficient to give them a stand- ing as the orchid specialists of the west. The plants will make such a bulk they will be shipped ag a carload, and should come through safely by fast freight. The plants include all the popular cut flower varieties, of such size as will give immediate bloom, according to their sea- son. William Arnold, foreman for (ileorge Reinberg, is something of an orchid expert, so that the undertaking is not of experimental character. Mr. Foerster thinks the present excellent market for orchids is only a beginning of what it will be in a few years, and surely Chicago, with its great shipping trade, is the best center in the country for an orchid growing establishment. Beauties by the Carload. Peter Reinberg has just finished planting six houses of the Mrs. Marshall Field rose. It is grafted stock and in splendid condition. The space was for- merly used for Beauties and 10,000 of the bench plants were sold to Heller Bros., the South Park Floral Co., New Castle. The 10,000 plants made just a nice carload. A Near-Arrest. Word has gone out in the automobile industry that Alderiium Reinberg has conimissionod Leonard Kill to select for him the best machine on the market. The result is that Mr. Kill is receiving a great many invitations for a little spin. March 21 a gentleman, anxious to make a sale, took ^Ir. Kill and N. J. Wietor for a run up the north shore. They liad only fairly gotten up speed ou the Sheridan drive when they were flagged by a policeman and the' chauf- feur placed under arrest. The justice said the fun was worth .$25 and, as the automobile man did not have the price, the florists had to pay it for him, though he subsequently sent it back.

The adaition to the Auditorium Annex is rapidly nearing completion and with it P. J. Hauswirth 's new flower store at the south end of the Michigan ave- nue front. The store will be of good size and of such character that no more than an ice-box and some marble-topped tables will be needed in the way of fix- tures. A basement for storage and work will be one of the added facilities. At the rear of the store will be a large conservatory, Ijelonging to the hotel, but which will be an immense advantage to the flower store, as it will attract many guests of the hotel to the entrance to the store. The building will be com- pleted around May 1 and will be by all odds the finest hotel building in the west. It was probably inevitable that other retailers should a.sk for the lease, although they never had any chance of accomplishing anything except to make Mr. Hauswirth 's rent cost him more than it otherwise would. Variotu Notes. The E. F. Winterson Co. is in its additional space on the street floor at 45 to 49 Wabash this week. Their stock of Easter plants came in so heavily that it overflowed upon the sidewalk and made a display which has attracted a large amount of retail business, al- though the bulk of the sales the first of the week were wholesale. They con- template putting in a large stock, doing retail business on the street floor and wholesale in the basement. The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. reports that summer has struck New Castle with full force. The crop of Brides and Maids is something tremendous and the quality is remarkably good considering the heat. John Lang, at Melrose and Robey streets, has filed a claim with the gas company asking that he be reimbursed to the extent of something like $2,000 for damage done to three houses of car- nations by gas which, he claims, es- caped from the company's mains and found its way out of the frozen ground through the greenhouses. Percy Jones has received the advance guard of the procession of red gladioli which will shortly begin to march through his place in the market. A. Lange has a vacant room in the Heyworth building for his Easter plant sales. Bassett & Washburn have not yet set- tled upon a name for their red seed- ling carnation, No. 20, which they will disseminate next season. They would like to call it Hinsdale, but there is an old variety called Judge Hinsdale. Mr. Washburn thinks of calling it Orland, after Orland P. Bassett, who is now in Egypt. J. F. Klimmer, at Oak Park, has had excellent results with Flamingo carna- tion this season and says that beside Craig and Victory it shows up well in every particular. At the last club meet- ing he was interested in the statement that with most growers carnation crops all season have been below the average. He says his own cut has been twenty per cent heavier than last year. E. C. Am- ling, who was present, said that, while ho thought it true tha^ carnation crops generally had been lighter than ordi- nary, one of his growers a little way south has had heavier crops than ever before and better quality. At E. H. Hunt's they have daily re- ceipts of the Gen. MacArthur rose. Many buyers like it better than either Liberty or Richmond and some of the stems are as long as in either of the other va- rieties. Fragrance is one of its special characteristics. August Poehlmann was elected a mem- ber of the executive committee of the American Rose Society at the Washing- ton meeting in the interest of next year's exhibition at Chicago. March 21 a runaway horse dashed into the Wabash Fruit and Flower Store, 325 Wabash avenue, by way of the show window. Seitz & Nordell, who have the place of the late John C. Ure, at 2923 Evans- ton avenue, have secured the property just across from their present location and will build new greenhouses there. The new plant will be double the pres- ent capacity and will be completed by August. A holdup man entered the back door of Darley & Dunbar's store on West Madison street one evening last week, but on being shown the muzzle of a re- volver laid down his own weapon to the man who had the drop and was handed over to a nearby policeman. F. W. Dar- ley says business has been good; they have been having a run of funeral work. Among the visitors of the week were .T. R. Bather, Clinton, la., buying Easter supplies; Mr. Schenek, of Schenck & Bliese Co., Waukesha, Wis., consulting the John C. Moninger Co. about a new greenhouse; H. W.

WCXDD LICE. Will someone tell me how to get rid of wood lice or sow bugs in green- houses? H. M. S. It is difficult to entirely eradicate these from greenhouses. Keep as little decaying wood and other debris in the houses as possible, for these act as ideal lurking places for them. They may be poisoned with a mixture of fresh bran and powdered sugar to which is added some Paris green or white ar- senic. Lay the mixture in small saucers in the evening and do not leave it around where animals or children can reach it. Turnips or potatoes, if scooped out partially and laid around, will form a trap for many. Look around daily and destroy all found on them by dipping in hot water. Boiling water, or as near boiling as possible. if poured under stages infested by them, will kill large quantities. Use a water- ing pot with a coarse rose in applying the water. C. W. LOOSE CREDITS. Loose credits are an evil affecting many lines of business, but it is doubt- ful if there is in any line of merchan- dising less system applied to this im- portant feature than is the case in the florists' trade. Not only are both retail and wholesale buyers carried longer than they should be, but credit is given in many cases where it is wholly un- warranted. Mot only are profits re- duced by the necessity of charging off large amounts where misfortune or poor judgment have resulted in the downfall of an honest man, but lax methods of credit and collection open the way to those whose intention it is to pay only so long as it appears to them to be worth while to do so. Unfortunately there are on the outskirts of our trade, as in every other, men who value a good name at only a very few dollars. To illustrate both the character of men we sometimes meet and the ease with which they may continue for a time in the business, there is the story of a recent incident which took place in a middle western city. A party without resources other than wit secured a foot- hold for a flower stand. To get stock he would call up wholesalers in other cities on the long-distance telephone, al- ways having made an appointment for a little after six o'clock. Always he was in the greatest haste. His story varied, but he did not hesitate to name as references houses where he was wholly unknown. He would not have stock sent C, O, D,, but later succeeded in getting second shipments from some of those who accepted his representa- tions by telling them over the 'phone that he liad mailed a check for the first bill. Where a C. 0. D. was sent he se- cured its release by 'phoning that he had already mailed a check — which never came. It does not follow that because a man names good references he is en- titled to credit. He has no right to expect credit until time has been given to look up the references. It is taking chances to ship cut flowers C. 0. D. to a distant stranger, but yet it appears that it is sometimes possible to get stock with no other preliminary than indicat- ing that it can be used. Waukesha, Wis. — Schenck & Bliese Co. reports demand steadily increasing. A carnation house 42x1.50 is to be built this spring, of Moninger material. *IVr.^'.i»^-'^.; i'CJ. ■■■-_r- .T./^ r.;-r>^7n- "■ t-^^ 1462 The Weekly Florists^ Review* March 28, 1907.

The feature of the market is the tre- raeiulous supply of southern daffodils now arriving. * The supply is so large that it is impossible to market them at fair prices. Thanks to the activity of the wholesalers, and in many cases of the street men, most of them are mar- keted at some figure, although occasion- ally tales of woe are heard. White car- nations are probably the most active fea- ture of a rather "listless market. The demand is irregular on nearly all flow- ens, and especially so on roses. It had been expected that for two weeks before Easter business would gradually im- prove, but this hope has not been real- ized. We have experienced a period of dullness for the current week, from Thursday, March -Jl, to Wednesday, March 27. Easter Prospects. Indications for Kaster, on the eve of the rush, point to an excellent business in plants, probably even greater than that of la.st year. Immense quantities of stock have been sold, and are being de- livered to the stores or the express com- panies; so large a quantity that it gives ground for the belief that nearly all the first-class stock in good condition has been marketed. There are, on many places, considerable numbers of plants that are not ready or do not meet mar- ket requirements. It is impossible to give any idea regarding cut flower pros- pects beyond the general statement that the supply will be large. Exi)ert judges believe that the supply of cut lilies, large as it is, will not equal the demand, and also that, when the demand sets in, which they believe will be late, it will sweep everything before it. Up the Stfeet. It is a slang expression, among the cut flower salesmen, and even with the dignified salesmen in the retail stores, that going "up the street" means go- ing to Pennock Bros.

There were many fine specimens of all the standard varieties of Easter plants. Among them were a few novelties of more than ordinary interest. The most striking of these was the Japanese azalea, Hyno de Giri, which may be de- scribed as a lively cerise in color; the pair of specimens were in 12-inch pots, a mass of bloom, gorgeous to behold. Another novelty was the variegated Bou- gainvillea W^. K. Harris, seen for the first time in bloom, its variegated foliage contrasting strikingly with the purple flowers. A novel basket used as a plant hamper is made entirely of pussy-wil- lows. This is quite unique, the shape resembling a good-sized square scrap basket. The willows are kept moist un- til sent out, so that they retain their life and develop. These baskets are filled beautifully with flowering plants and an occasional touch of greeir. Brandy wine Summit. Two passengers on the West Philadel- phia platform last Saturday consulted a small man standing near them as to whether the 7:21 over the Baltimore Cen- tral came on that track. "No," the man said, "it does not, but the 8:21 may. It is after 8 now. ' ' Consterna- tion, consultation of watches, relief, ar- rival of the third passenger and the 7:21 in quick succession. Then the train pulled out for the south and the trip to Brandywine Summit, postponed from last October, was begun. The trio consisted of C. F.

The train pulled into our station at 8:1.1. It was a glorious day, clear and cold, just the sort of day when a morning walk is a luxury. Even Mr. Wertsner, who never walks from prefer- once, admitted that the mile or so over the road and across the fields aroused a glow of Avarmth that was grateful. Our destination was Albin Harvey & Sons' place. A cordial greeting from father and both sons made the visitors at once feel at home, as Mr. Wertsner confiden- tially remarked when he returned to B. S. (N. B. — This does not stand for brandy and soda.) The greenhouses of Albin Harvey & Sons are of twentieth century origin, commencing with a couple of houses. built as an outlet for boyish energy, and continuing v\ith more and more houses, until last season's addition of 15,000 feet of glass brought the place up to something like 45,000 square feet in all. The range of truss houses added last sea- son evidences the progressive spirit that dominates. These houses are wonderfully light. The feeling is, however, strongly in favor of the detached house, with no gutters to hold ice and snow. The Messrs. Har\-Tey own over 200 acres of ground, so that they can afford space between houses and, as Review readers will re- call, one of their houses was injured in the snow of February 4. The weight proved too great at 2:30 a. m. The fore- man called the owners, who luckily had lumber on hand. A hard night's work enabled them to board off the uninjured parts so that five-sixths of the range was saved from frost. All the houses are now strengthened. These houses were light to a degree rarely seen. The stock looked very well, the plants vigorous, flowers large and perfect. It must in fairness be adde(f that the stock in the heavier and narrower houses was also very fine. It took just three weeks to put this section of house back into commis- sion. Albin Harvey & Sons are growers of high grade carnations. Their varieties are Lady Bountiful, White Perfection and The Queen, white, of which they have two houses; Enchantress, pale pink, and Mrs. Lawson, rose-pink. The last named variety was not satisfactory this season and was replaced by sweet peas, which have proved an excellent crop. Young plants of Lawson are already planted in the injured section, to remain there all summer. Prosperity is grown, but it is not found profitable, though it yields fine flowers. The scarlet and crimson classes are well represented. Robert Craig, Fla- mingo, Cardinal and Harlowarden were all nicely done. I think there was an- other scarlet, possibly Crane. My im- pression was that a less skilful grower would find this proportion of perhaps one-fifth too many reds. The propagat- ing house was a pretty sight. Winsor was noticed in 3-inch pots in another house. One bench is devoted to mignonette, which has been fine. Some heavy spikes are still there for seed. The large dairy was next visited, then the silo and ensilage. All was clean and neat. The output goes to the Sharpless creamery. Mushrooms are grown under some carnation benches. There is also a regular mushroom house, with five tiers of benches. Good crops have been har- vested, with more in sight, I cannot close without mentioning two historic landmarks, one seen, the other heard: The house in which Gen, Howe made his headquarters at the battle, now the home of .Mr, Harvey, Jr., and Mr. Wertsner 's engineer story. Here it is: "An engineer constructing a railway had much trouble with his supply train; it jumped the track daily. He reported to his superior each night on six or sevpu pages of foolscap.

' ' You may ask why Mr. Wertsner 's witty story is historic. Well, Phil attempted to get it off afterwards on quite a young man. Before two words had been spoken the young man said with a bored look, "If that is the Finnegan story, I heard it twenty years ago." Various Note*. L. G. Blick, of Norfolk, Va., suffered a severe loss in the death of his father, which occurred last Sunday. Mr. Blick has many friends in this city. Among the visitors here within the last few days were "William F. Gude and the Freemans, father and son, of "Washington, D. C. ; John Cook, and William F. and Charles Feast, of Balti- more, Md. The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. will remove from its present quarters at 1516 and 1518 Sansom street, July 1, to 1517 Sansom ' street. The * ' Philadelphia Cut, ' ' as its loyal supporters term it, will have greatly increased facilities in the new building, where it will occupy the first and second floors. Charles Balderston, of Colora, Md., is sending some fine Gen. Jacqueminot roses, quite a rarity in this market until Easter, to W. E. McKissick. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. received many cases of Easter baskets on the steamer Menomenie, which were sold in original case lots. They have been greatly pushed this week filling the last moment orders. "W. & Harry F. Evans, of Kowland- ville, Pa., have 6,000 fine pots of lilies. which Leo Niessen says have all made Easter, except only a dozen or so plants. Charles Schmitt, of Harrisburg, haa been in this city recently. Berger Bros, are fortunate in having a heavy cut of fancy Brides and Maids from Stockton & Howe for Easter. Emil Gerschick is making a fine Easter display on the old Cliffe place at Main and Johnson streets, German- town. "William Munro, of Garrettford, is sending fine Kaiserins to the Philadel- phia (^t Flower Co. and to W. E. Mc- Kissick. Mr. Masolf, representing, the King Construction Co., has taken charge of the operations at North "Wales for tho Florex Gardens. The smaller house has been commenced. A carload of millwork lost in transit has been recovered. The tri-city bowling tournament, sched- uled for last Thursday, in this city, has bees postponed until after Easter. The spring show of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was held on Tues- day, "Wednesday and Thursday of this week in Horticultural hall. Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., was among the Philadelphians in "Washington during the rose show. Mr. Berkowitz has some interesting ideas re- garding the possibilities of the business which I hope to give later. Edw. J. Fancourt, secretary of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., has returned from a successful six weeks* business trip. "William J. Moore has been king bee on southern daffodils, of which he has disposed of immense numbers. The Hugh Graham Co., Logan, Pa., has flowered some plants of Frau Karl Dtuschki rose, variously described as the white American Beauty and the white Brunner. These plants are said to be remarkably well done. M. Bice & Co. are receiving, on an average, a dozen telegrams daily for Easter supplies, and report that all or- ders are filled and shipped as soon as received, they having made special pro- visions for a large Easter business this year. Edward Reid says plant sales are ahead of last year. Leo Niessen says the plant growers are already refusing orders. J. J. Habermehl's Sons have a fine display of well-grown flowering stock. The Eobert Craig Co. had fine rhodo- dendrons and Magna Charta roses in ad- dition to the stock described two weeks ago. Jacob Becker had a lot of well-grown Easter plants. Myers & Samtman, of Wyndmoor, Pa., will add one house 200 feet long and, I think, 56 feet wide, for American Beauty roses this season. They will use Lord & Burnham material with Stems bars. This house, with the rearrangement of two other houses, will increase their capacity for American Beauty roses from 26,000 and some odd, to 35,000, exactly the number to be planted by the Florex Gardens. F. R. Matsinger, of Palmyra, N. J.^ should be an ardent Review man here- after. Ask him why. PhDj.

NEW YORK. The Market Spring arrived promptly on time. March 21 saw the warmest spring open- ing of the generation and a temperature of 75 degrees. If the weather will play a continuous performance until Sunday we shall see the record-breaking Easter we have learned to expect every year !ind the vagaries of an erratic winter will be forgiven and forgotten. But tliese early Easters are not popular. The oldest wholesalers are filled with forebodings of sudden changes, extremes of weather and consequent disaster. It is small comfort to know that next year Kaster will arrive three weeks later. "Sufficient unto the day is the risk thereof." But before this issue of the Rkview reaches its New York readers tlie business will be at its height. The plant growers are already out of the woods and every good specimen has been sold. With the exception of the lilies there has been no advance above the normal average. Azaleas have sold at reasonable figures and consequently enterprising importers of large quanti- ties are happy and well rewarded. Lilies a week before Easter were firm at 15 cents. What the belated buyers may have to pay before the week is over is a question. I think any first-class flowers, cut or with pots, will bring good money. The prospects for an uninterrupted spring were shaded Sunday and Monday by a descent to freezing temperature again, but wiih the sun beyond the meridian and the cut flower growers as- sured of an abundant crop there seems little ground for pessimism and abun- dant hope for grand results to all. Last week was a severe one in the wholesale market. Prices were sacrificed in all departments. The finest Beau- ties were begging at $3 a dozen, for thousands of all grades came in with the spring. It isn 't often one sees an ice-box crowded with American Beau- ties. This would indicate as the Easter figure no higher than $6 per dozen for the finest selection. Other roses par- ticipated in the slump. The Southern narcissi are arriving just as the local supply was shortening. Every variety of bulbous stock is abun- dant. If anything fails to meet the demand it will be the orchid. So rapidly is it becoming appreciated everywhere thiit the supply henceforth can never be capable of competely filling the demand. This is especially so at Easter. As to violets for Easter, it all de- pends on the weather. Should the tem- perature again reach the high mark of March 23, quality will deteriorate and prices for first-class stock be high. Judg- ing by the floods of violets during the past week, there need be no fear as to the quantity. VariouB Notes.

Siebrecht lectured March 27 on "Flowers for Easter and for Spring Gardens" at the American Institute. A. LeMoult, the veteran florist of the Bowery, is spending the Easter holidays with his family at Atlantic City and putting the responsibilities of the busy time upon the shoulders of Adolph, Jr., on whom the mantle will later fall, and through whom the reputation of nearly half a century will be perpetuated. Coles & Co., of 109 Warren street. New York, are finding the demand for their verbena baskets greater this spring than in all their twenty-three years' ex- perience, a healthful sign as to the prospective suburban demands upon the big seed houses of this center. Day and night all the garden supply establish- ments are busy with increased forces. Jefferson Doremus, of ^Madison, was in the city March 23, philosophizing as to Easter needs in Beauties, Maids and Brides, of which he grows an abun- dance. A. J. (jiuttman uandles this fine stock, as well as the Lawson and En- chantress grown by John Joyce, of Con- gers. Myer Othile, with Mr. Guttman, has the sympathy of all in the loss of his mother, who died at 357 West Forty- fourth street March 20. The burial was on Friday at Washington cemetery. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Mr. Peth, for many years proprietor of Bridgeman's Seed Warehouse, and later a retail florist in Harlem, is now with William Elliott & Sons. James Weir & Sons, Brooklyn, have assumed the management of the cut flower and plant department in the big store of Abram & Straus of that city. At another large department store in Brooklyn C. C. Trepel has built up a tremendous retail business, its cut flower department presided over by Mrs. Tre- pel, and the sales in plants and flowers aggregating daily more than a month 's receipts in an ordinary store. F. Mellstroni, representing Sander & Son, of St. Albans, England, has ar- rived for his regular American trip. The sympathy of the trade is ex- tended to A, Moltz in the loss of his mother. M. A. Bowe recovered from a severe illness just in time for the Easter busi- ness. This store of his in the heart of the city is a busy transient center. This is James McManus ' first Easter in his enlarged and central headquarters on West Twenty-eighth street, now none too large for the big trade persistent attention to business has evolved. Traendly & Schenek have a flower show every day on their three floors. Among the important developments of the year was the translation of the junior member of the firm into the reliable ranks of the benedicts. Now everything moves along without any friction and the wheels of progress are seemingly well oiled. J. K. Allen is celebrating this year his twentieth Easter and six o'clock in the morning is the record he holds without a break during nearly a quarter of a century.

James, Jr., is an efficient lieu- tenant and will soon steady himself in U68 The Weekly Florists^ Review* March 28, 1907. the ranks of the benedicts, about the time of June roses. L. B. Coddington 's roses are winning a name in rosedom, and their name is legion since the big houses were com- pleted. H. E. Froment handles the en- tire output, violets being another spe- cialty of this popular house. There have been no changes in the office staff dur- ing the year and the big ship floats on an even keel. William Starke says he had more or- ders booked for the Easter trade than his conservatories would hold if they were four times as large. He seems to empty the one on Twenty-ninth street several times weekly. John Seligman and Joseph J. Levy are on the crest of prosperity's wave. They have grown fast since Easter, 1906. Courtesy, attention to business and per- sistency always culminate in success. Then, too, a good wife added to the combination during the year has been an inspiration. Joseph J. Fenrich, the youngest and liveliest of the wholesalers, handles not only Schultheis' prize stuff, but Totty's Eichmonds, white violets and about every variety of cut flower yet discov- ered. Mrs. Fenrich is a daughter of the veteran Le Moult, of the Bowery, and the boy will take first prize at the out- ing this year unless all signs fail, for he is a ' ' physical culture baby. ' ' A. M. Henshaw finds the square deal and square dealing excellent foundation stones for the rearing of a structure that grows higher and broader daily. He has had a most satisfactory year and no finer roses come to the city than those he handles. The Kervan Co. has an abundance of southern supplies of all kinds for Easter ; so have George Cotsonas & Co., includ- ing especially fancy ferns, galax and leucothoe. N. Lecakes & Co., in addition to all varieties of green goods, have a cut flower department managed by John Foley that has grown to good propor- tions since last Easter. The head of the house, Nicholas Lecakes, celebrated last week the arrival of his second boy. Eussin & Hanfling, the basket manu- facturers and supply men, had a splen- did year and a big Easter trade. They are greatly encouraged by the growth of their business. The Geller Co. finds its big store just what was needed for Easter and wonders now how it ever managed without it. Mr. Geller will soon be off for Europe to select his stock for the coming season. A. L. Young & Co. are among the optimists, having doubled their busi- ness and the size and' conveniences of their handy store. Personality is a de- sideratum in progress, and courtesy and consideration for others are a sure step- ping-stone to advancement and esteem. The next meeting of the New York Florists' Club, early in April, will be ladies' night. It will be doubly inter- esting because of Easter and its memo- ries. A splendid program will be pro- vided. May the Easter of 1907 be to all a source of profit, hope and happiness and the grandest Easter in the experience of every florist on the continent. J. Austin Shaw. Vienna, III. — I. N.

Some nights little or no fire heat will be needed, but on others the fires will have to be kept moving to maintain the proper temperature. Through the day they can be left as near a standstill as possible, but they should be kept so that they will be ready to respond when the weather indicates a necessity to have them going. Firing is a study by itself, as by judicious handling, proper service can be given when needed, and when not needed money can be saved by saving the coals.

Wood, Richmond, Va.; First Vlce-Pres., Charles Burge, Toledo, O.; Sec'y and TresB., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 25th annual meetlnjr will be held at New York City, June, laOT Tuberose and caladium bulbs are scarce. Visited Chicago: H. W. Buckbee, Eockford, 111. Sweet corn, especially the later can- ners' sorts, seems to be overplentiful at present. Mail and telegraph service is badly disorganized in California on account of floods in the Sacramento river. The onion set acreage will be in- creased instead of being diminished, judging from present indications. If the weather holds as at present in the seed pea growing regions, unusually early planting will take place this year. The rush is for seeds for pickles just now, but White Portugal onion will have an inning before the close of the season. Seeding for the coming year's crop of onion sets has commenced at Chicago and a strong demand for seed has de- veloped. There were 269 bags of garden seeds on steamer United States, which saiieu from New York for Copenhagen March lb. The remaining stock and the plant of the Thompson Seed Co., Albert Lea, Minn., were sold at auction March 23 and the business wound up. Standard varieties of carrot, radish, beets and many other seeds are hard to get hold of, notwithstanding the many surplus offers that are floating around. Apparently there is no surplus of the cafiners ' varieties of peas. Another spurt is expected in this department of the seed trade when things adjust them- selves. It is surprising to note what a num- ber and variety of stores in small towns are handling seeds in considerable quan- tity this season, pushing the business by means of local advertising. The far east is offering a small sur- plus of seed of the Globe varieties of onion. No cut in price is being made and this is taken as an indication that everything is well cleaned up. The tomato is one of the important crops of Maryland and the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station has de- scribed experiments in tomato growing in a booklet, just out, which will interest every seedsman. Summer-like weather at Chicago has livened things during the past week. Counter trade is reported far ahead of last year at this date and the market gardeners' seed and jobbing trades have beaten all records for March. Onion sets advanced as much as 75 cents per bushel in less than two hours during Monday of this week. The sup- ply is short, the demand strong and all colors going readily at $3 per bushel. It was feared that the end-up of the sea- son would show a sharp decline in prices, but the unusual call has put that con- tingency outside the possibilities.

The Cox Seed Co. was one of the oldest concerns on the coast and did a large general horticultural trade in addition to its seed business. C. C. Morse & Co. have only been in San Francisco two years, having taken over the business of the late E. J. Bowen. Previously they had confined themselves to the growing of seeds for the trade, at Santa Clara and vicinity. It is reported that the committee on legislation of the American Seed Trade Association has received intimations from friendly members of congress that the best way to head off other legislation at the next session will be to have intro- duced a bill of their own preparation, which will of course safeguard the in- terests of both planters and seedsmen and therefore be acceptable to congress. WEATHER AND TRADE. No matter what the final records show as to the aggregate of sales, the season of 1907 is likely to go down in history as the most strenuous the seed trade ever has known. Spring came all at once. It was the exceptional house that did as much up to the middle of March as was done up to that date in 1906. This is particularly true of eastern houses, for winter lingered in the lap of spring, particularly in New England, until ousted of a sudden by Old Sol and almost midsummer temperatures. Sum- mer came to the southwest ten days ago, and in the last week new records have been made at almost every weather ob- servatory from the Eockies to the At- lantic. Summer temperatures have been general. The result was a deluge of belated mail orders, the season bursting into full bloom almost in a day. Night work has been general for a week. It is the common report that the number of mail orders received on Monday, March 25, broke all records. Not only are the mail order departments working at high- est pressure, but counter trade is on in full force and seed stores are crowded beyond the possibility of satisfactory service to all. The seedsman loses, as well as the customer, when the rush is too great to be handled with care — and the worst of it is practically every cus- tomer might have bought before the rush but for that trait of human nature which causes us all to put everything off till the last moment. Wholesalers and jobbers are driven with reorders from the ever-increasing army of coun- try retailers of seeds. The worst feature is that it will be a short season if the weather continues so much warmer than normal. IMPORTS.

NATHAN SMITH & SON Adrian, Mich. but fortunately escaped with one broken bone of the left arm near the wrist Joint. The belt or some part of the machinery also made a clean cut around the arm Just at the fracture, but not severing any artery or tendon. The wound required a dozen or more stitches to close it. The factory law now pending would make it obligatory that the owner imme- diately report such an accident, with all the circumstances, to the state factory inspector, where it would be a matter of public record. Employers consider that the result of the bill, if it becomes a law, will be to largely increase the number of damage suits. .J- ■*-^ ,y 1474 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Mahch 28, 1907.

Smith, The Nursery, Enfield flighway, Middlesex, England .M>*iitliiii Tli»« Kfvlt-w when ?<>ii wrlln BEST VARIETY OF MUSA. Will you please tell me the best kind of Musa Ensete, or Abyssinian banana plant, to grow outdoors f Can they be taken out of the tub or pot and planted in the open ground? How shall we treat them to make fast growth? Is it good to take off all the soil and repot in new, rich soil now? Would it be all right to store them in the cellar over winter at about 40 degrees? How soon had they better be started? We have had them in large wooden tubs for years and there is nothing doing with them. A. B. The Abyssinian banana, Musa Ensete, is much the best of the genus for dec- orative purposes. Plants taken from tubs and pots and planted outdoors in well enriched ground will make splen- did growth. They should be given a sit- uation protected as much as possible, free from high winds, which soon lacer- ate the handsome leaves. Plants car- ried over winter, if repotted or re- tubbed now in rich compost and placed in a warm greenhouse, will grow away quickly. The plants are best wintered in a house which does not fall below 50 to, 55 degrees at night. They can, how- ever, be kept in any frost-proof cellar, but in such a location would inevitably lose all their foliage. Some growers also aaopt the plan of storing the thick, fleshy roots in dry sand over winter and t^e tops of plants cut back. If placed in a genial heat in spring and given moisture they will soon start to grow. Such plants, however, cannot be ex- pected to fruit. The easiest to grow and hardiest of the fruiting bananas is Musa Caven- dishii, commonly known as the dwarf Chinese banana. If, however, fruiting is desired, the plants should be lifted before frosts come, placed in large tubs and kept in a warm greenhouse until planting out time comes around again. C. W. TROUBLE VITH SWEET PEAS. I mail you a few roots of sweet peas. The plants in the house, 22x100, grow up to about two feet. Then I notice that they do not do as well. They are starting to turn yellow a little on the bottom now. The house has been kept at 45 to 48 degrees at night, 50 degrees in daytime. As you will notice, there are little white bugs on the roots some- thing like the miller bug. Could you please tell me what I can do to improve them? I have been growing sweet peas in the same house for four seasons with good results.

For best results they should be in a narrow row and two or three inches between each plant. This will cause stronger haulms and the flower stalks will have greater vigor and carry an average of three flowers each. The manuring and other details appear to have been carried out all right and sweet peas ought to do well under just such soil conditions. A temperature of 50 degrees at night should be main- tained after the flowers appear, with a rise of 10 or 15 degrees during the day. We failed to note any of the "bugs" on the roots. Probably, however, it is the same pest which frequently attacks China asters in the fields. We would advise mulching the rows well with fresh tobacco stems.

Cleveland, Ohio DETROIT. The Market The last week has been an extremely busy one for the florists. There is little of note going on among society people, but, with a large amount of funer^ work to fill in between church and store decorating, all hands were kept out of mischief. Roses remain well cleaned up; white carnations also. Colored stock is some- what overplennful at the present writ- ing. The same can be said about tu- lips and daffodils. , Lilies are none too plentiful. Easter prices went into ef- fect Mftrch 25. Roses range from $6 to $15 per hundred; carnations, from $3 to $5 per hundred; lilies, $15 per hun- dred; valley, $2 to $4.50 per hundred. The outlook is good for a record- breaking Easter business. B. Schroeter furnished the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange with over 500 lilies. Aside from lilies, other blooming plants seem plentiful. Most of the grow- ers have found it hard to keep the stock back, as a stretch of unseason- ably warm weather last week brought it along too fast. QubMectiii£. An unusually large number of mem- bers were present at the Detroit Florists' Club's last meeting, held March 20. It would be unfair to say that a fine lunch and cigars provided by the club served as a drawing card, as this had not been previously announced. Although an exhibition of Easter stock had been expected, there was but little on exhibition. A collection of primulas and exceptionally fine Spiraea Glad- stone, shown by Fred Miesel, excited much comment. Philip Breitmeyer, vice- president-elect of the American Rose Society, held the floor for a consider- able time with an interesting review of his recent eastern trip. Among other things he stated that nowhere did he see a better grown lot of blooming plants than those grown in Detroit; Lilies seem scarce everywhere. J. F. Sullivan and Robert Unger have promised to favor the club with papers on interesting subjects the evening of the next regular meeting, April 3. Mr. Unger 's paper will be on "Plant Bed- ding and Bedding Stock." V. AND AVOID TflE RUSH" This is the substance of a notice that a large New York florist is sending to all his customers.

Between $500 and $600 has so far been subscribed to the guarantee fund for the national flower show by members of the Detroit Florists' Club and, with the list swelling daily, it is expected that the thousand-doUar mark will be reached ere long. This should serve as an incentive to clubs in other cities. A destructive fire visited the store of the Lachman Floral Co., George Lead- ly, manager, Friday night, March 22. The stock of plants, ribbons, etc., was destroyed, either by fire or smoke. Up to present writing no attempt has been made to resume business. Schroeter 's decorating department was kept on the jump last week. Besides several smaller decorations, this firm again had charge of the spring opening decorations for our largest, as well as finest, dry-goods house. About 1,000 Beauties, roses, lilies and carnations, supplied by S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. and Bassett & Washburn, were used; also about seventy-five Ijaskets, made up of a variety of blooming plants. Three vanloads of palms, azaleas, lilacs, rhodo- dendrons, etc., were also used. From thirty per cent to fifty per cent of all the lilies planted in this vicinity are a loss. The Bemb Floral Co. 's driver came forth with a stunning uniform last week. Business must be good. Ed Beard, his wife, and their gasoline wagon got stuck in the mud out on West Fort street last Sunday, and right on the car track, too. It was an easy matter for Ed to transfer his wife to the sidewalk, but it remained for a street car to push Mr. Auto out of the mud. H. S. Pierre, S. D. — As soon as weather is more settled Enoe & Barney will build an addition to their greenhouse. The new building will be 30x90 feet. .^^^^iTd^ ^^.n..' . ^ .. ^^ ' ^^ i 1 _ • Ww-l . J . J..

PACIFIC COAST. Los Angeles, Cal. — A big flower show is being planned by the Southern Cali- fornia Horticultural Society for this city for the week beginning May 1. This will be at the time of the conclave of the Mystic Shriners. PORTLAND, ORE. Current G)mment. While the forces at the stores are easily disposing of all available stock, the proprietors are preparing for what we hope later to declare the greatest Easter on record. We have not been able to do much "rubbering," but from the fine potted samples on display this week we are convinced that the growers are on an enforced "March" and are apt to fool all of us before April 1. Our window attractions of late have been of much interest to the public, and originality and novelty are the cause of much comment. Neatness and skill are always commendable and as an incentive to these attributes a prize was offered to the merchants in general by the Hibernian bank for the best display em- blematic of St. Patrick's day. This was won by Clarke Bros., who showed the genuine shamrock growing in small pots and various bark arrangements. An amusing incident occurred when an old rancher came into the store to price them and when told that the small pots sold for 25 cents each, exclaimed: "Gosh, durn! You fellers must be mak- ing a pile of money down here. All last summer my farm was kivered with that stuff. We call it sheep sorrel up thar." The trimmings were green and there were green carnations; in fact, every- thing was green, including the prize money, which was paid in greenbacks. Expansion seems to be the ambition of all this spring. William Martin (formerly Martin & Forbes) tells us he is planning for three new houses. Morton & Son, who located at Hills- boro last year, need more room for the growth of a healthy trade and will add two new houses. Martin Beukauf, of Bayersdorf er 's, Philadelphia, was here last week and filled us up with new ideas which we wiH make practical use of at Easter. And then eatme Arnold Ringier, of the Barnard Co., Chicago, much delayed on account of washouts between here and PYisco. We cannot imagine two more conscientious workers than these two gentlemen, always interesting and ready for business. They confirm all previous reports of a splendid trade along the c»ast. H. J. M.- SAN FRANOSOa The Market Incessant rain for the last week has put a damper on everything in this vi- cinity. The total rainfall for the sea- son is twenty-three inches, against sev- enteen and one-half inches a year ago, and the end is not yet. This, in addi- tion to the fact that Lent still contin- ues, gives the dealers but little to be thankful for at this time. The retail stores are piled high with everything in the flower line and, although the whole- salers and growers have but a small True Asparagus Plumosus Seed Raised under lath in California, is so superior In vitality as to be beyond comparison. We are Rlad to be able to announce tbat at last we have our seed picked. It is later tban usual this year, owing to long, continued cold rain, but tbe seed is all the better for it.

There is the usual scarcity, however, of fancy Beauties, but with other roses and all varieties of carnations, there is an abundance. Bulbous stock is at a standstill. Valley is to be had at a lower price than I have seen it in many years. Easter lilies hold their own, however, and, unless we have an im- provement in weather in a few days, there may be less on hand than the in- terested parties anticipate. They are being sold by the growers at from $2 to $3 per dozen for cut stems and pot- ted lilies at from $6 to $9 per dozen. Violets are plentiful, but they are get- ting weak of stem and light in color and they will soon end when the weather be- comes warmer. Green stock, with the exception of smilax, is abundant, and the weather favors everything in that line. Business in all the bay cities is prac- tically at a standstill at present. Various Notts. F. Heim, superintendent of the Uni- versity Nurseries, will plant half a mil- lion young redwood trees in the hills back of Berkeley. The trees are from the state forest preserves in Mendocino county.

This season is what might be temled an off year for bulbs and, although the crop of flowers is not yet entirely har- vested, the bulb season in the vicinity of San Francisco is near enough to the end to recapitulate. I eliminate Easter lilies from the list, as it is yet a little too soon to figure out profits on them. First in importance are the Paper White narcissi. These have not been an especially paying crop, nor were any of the daffodil family, with the excep- tion of Ard Reigh, which netted the growers $5 per hundred, and at the present time Emperor is paying well at $2.50 per hundred. These are the larg- est prices realized, however, on these articles, and for the ordinary sorts, flow- ering in between, not over from 50 cents to $1 per hundred was received. These prices, of course, do not pay for the trouble of growing and handling, but they give the correct estimate of the paying quality of these flowers. Many ^■7f-- ' ' . J^w«T3^'".4^i« .^^vyir^-^' ■ MABCH 28, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review. 1487 growers have thrown their bulbs out and planted the grounds to something more profitable. Probably, after a few hun- dred thousands of bulbs are sacrificed in this way, good prices may be had for the balance. The same fault can be found with Paper Whites. Only those that were artificially watered early in the fall and came into bloom during November and December made money for the growers. Those that came on at the height of the season were a loss to the bulb planter, as not over $5 per thousand was paid by the retailers, on the average. Valley has been a fair crop for the last season and, although the prices have not been high at any time since Christ- mas week, there has been a steady de- ma,ud. At the present writing the grow- ers receive $4 per hundred. I am inclined to think there will be a great scarcity of Lilium Harrisii for the Easter trade. The available stock at the present time is not over one-quarter of that usually seen, and the retailers are careful in accepting orders for fu- ture delivery. Although the growers or- dered largely from the various bulb im- porters a year ago, after our fire many thousands of bulbs were countermanded and, as a result, only a few were plant- ed. The Japanese varieties have not proven to be entirely up to the standard and I have seen but few good results from their handling this season. Boman hyacinths have not been a pay- ing crop and most of the growers use them only to fill in when other flowers are scarce. Late flowering tulips have brought good prices so far. Dutch hyacinths have not been used to any extent, as they are not in great favor here. Calla lilies, owing to the exception- ally mild winter, are plentiful and the price on them has remained low.' Enor- mous quantities will be used in the in- terior for church decorations. The pre- vailing price at present is from $1 to $1.50 per hundred. Freesias and Narcissus poeticus are abundant and have brought good prices throughout the season. Q.

Hiram McFeron, of the firm of Kelly & McFeron, Columbus, Ind., has pur- chased his partner's interest in the nursery business. A LARGE part of the time not devoted to railroads by the state legislature seems to be devoted to nursery legislation. Texas now has a new bill pending, W. A. Howell, El Eeno, Okla., says that the demand for ornamental stock al- ready is beginning to be a feature of the nursery business in the southwest. J. B. Mason, formerly rose propaga- tor with McGregor Bros. Co., Spring- field, O., is at Chicago and plans to lo- cate in that vicinity, to establish a nurs- ery for hardy stock and do a land- scaping business. The unseasonably warm weather is against a record season in the nursery business. Growth has started with a rush and the value of storage cellars as a means of holding stock dormant and prolonging the season is again most forcibly demonstrated. The Cottage Gardens Co., Queens, N. Y., has a landscape department in the Metropolitan building, Madison avenue and Twenty-third street. New York city, where Charles "Willis Ward also makes his personal headquarters. Frank W. Smith is in charge of the landscape work. It is talked at Rochester that at the next session of congress another bill will be introduced looking to the protection of ownership in horticultural novelties. It is the opinion of conservative men that such a bill, unless very carefully drawn and liberal, would operate against the advance of horticulture. SEASONABLE REMINDERS. Japanese Maf4e». Japanese maples are exceedingly use- ful and ornamental. They can be used to advantage when in pots or tubs for various forms of decoration, both indoor and outdoor, in the hands of the jobbing gardener or the florist. For the orna- mentation of large estates these charm- ing little trees, of endless variety of color and foliage, can be used in great numbers with much effect, in groups or in single specimens here and there. They are also unapproachable for the perma- nent and continuous brightening up of small suburban gardens, a use to which of late they are being put in increased numbers, Lombardy Poplar. The Lombardy poplar is a quick-grow- ing tree, and the astonishing rapijjity of its attainment of stateliness makes it much favored and in demand for the cre- ation of imposing effects on new places, such as the lining of both sides of an approach to a dwelling.

Evergreens. Arbor-vitaes make hedges with little or no prompting or gui(Ung, and, when growing ill the form of a hedge, they retain all the characteristics natural and peculiar to the unrestrained plant; and that is more than can be said of most other things used for hedges. Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens glauca) is a fine thing in its specimen stage, and it is surprising how rapidly it gets to that stage after a certain period. It is not so much because this variety is still rare that it is still valuable, and very valuable, but because of the in- creased demand that has to be met by a still somewhat limited supply of certain siz^s. Planted when young, they will grow in time to be worth something. CIimbiii£ Roses. In the list of available roses for the transformation of ugly fences and the bare walls of sheds and other outbuild- ings into things of beauty, will be found varieties, which, if selected with that end in view, give a long succession of blooms. In connection with such use of roses, should it not strike the commercial man forcibly that one of the best inducements he could offer to purchasers would be the suggestion such an example would be? There are many other ways, akin to the foregoing, by which nurserymen and flo- rists could materially increase their sales. Herbaceous Stock. The herbaceous or perennial phlox is in the race to stay; it is used in immense quantities in its cut state, and it is also Slanted very extensively- in herbaceous orders. Peonies overdone? No such thing! The craze has not yet got to its full height. They are only now making a slow, but sure, reentry after a rather long period of modest retirement, which but fitted them for the strenuous time ahead. About the easiest thing in the world to handle successfully is the funkia in any variety. If it is desired to increase the stock the plants may be cut up in the spring just as the leaves are beginning ^^^V ^^ K?^Z^ American Beauty, Clothilde Soapert, Gloire de Dijon, ■i^lB^^F\^^ Kaiserin _Aagasta Victoria, La France, ^me.

Teas' comment last week with reference to my notes on privet and other cuttings, I would state for Mr. Teas' benefit that those notes applied to the time at which they were written, not to what might have been done four or five months ago. As far as the making of cuttings is concerned, we have no time to bother about the past; LARGE TREES OAKS and MAPLXS. Pinxs and HEMLOCKS. ANDORRA NURSERIES, Wm. Warner Harper. Prop. Chestnut BUI, Philadelphia, Pa. the present and a little of the future take up all our time and attention. Mr. Teas' remarks in regard to the comparative hardiness or otherwise of California privet are, so far as my ex- perience of twenty years counts, against actual facts. Twenty years ago I plant- ed about 4,000 California privets on a place situated many hundreds of miles north of Mason and Dixon's line and in all the years since then the wood was only once killed by frost, and it may be of interest to state that the cause of its injuriously affect California privet, but if the weather gets suddenly cold early in the season damage may result. As stated already, there are in New Eng- land thousands of beautiful hedges of California privet, but I do not think the same can be said of that part of the country directly south of Mason and Dixon's line. It may be inferred from this that California privet thrives better in the north than in the south. R. B. being injured then was an early severe freezing. There are thousands of Cali- fornia privet hedges in New England and the greater number of them are not only shapely and handsome, made so by years of careful clipping, rarely retard- ed by the action of the weather, but they are also distinct features of the grounds they enclose and divide. Strictly speaking, severe cold does not THE SILVER MAPLE. The silver maple grows rapidly, at- tains a large size, but is rather short- lived. When grown in the open, this tree tends to fork near the ground and form a large, spreading crown with a short main stem. It is among the first trees to come into leaf in the spring, but- loses its foliage rather early in the iy.VifiU.i«uV. ij Makch 28, 1907.

Since the wooil is brittle, the branches are easily broken by the wind. In rich alluvial soils the silver maple frequently attains a height of 115 feet and a diameter of from three to five feet. It is a moisture-loving tree, and thrives best in river bottoms, where the soil is a deep, porous alluvium. In the west it succeeds only where the roots can go down to permanent water. It is moderately tolerant; on good situations it approaches the sugar maple in shade- enduring qualities. It is a rapid-grow- ing tree, and in favorable situations it commonly makes a diameter increase of half an inch a year and occasionally may even double this rate. Silver maple reproduces by stump sprouts and seed. The seed, which ripens in May or June, should be planted immediately, since it loses its vitality in a short time and will not germinate if once allowed to become dry. It should be sown in drills in rich, moist soil. The drills should be three feet apart for machine cviltivation or two feet apart for hand cultivation. Only about an inch of covering is necessary. Thick sowing is advisable, since the per- centage of germination is low. The nursery rows should be carefully tilled during the growing season. The seed- lings will attain a height growth of from twelve to thirty-six inches during the first season. When one year old the seedlings should be set in the perma- nent plantation. LENOX, MASS.

The color is a deep rich sbininR scarlet sliEbtly dappled with crimson. Foliage is a rich bronze. Height, S}i 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.; $85.00 per 100. OTTAWA Is a strong grower, Tery 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 had this Oanna 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 colop 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 18 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; $6.00 per doz.; $85.00 per 100. NEW YORK Has the Orchid type of flower. Tbey have mncb 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 oannas. 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.; $85.00 per 100.

BALTIMORE. The Market We are enjoying summer weather, the thermometer registering up to 81 de- grees. Business conditions are more fa- vorable than last week and everybody seems to get his share. In the retail city markets business has been a steady rush and many advance orders for Palm Sunday and Easter were booked. Many church decorations are ordered and night work will soon be started. Trom pres- ent indications many expect a strong advance in price on all kinds of cut flowers, as well as potted plants. If the weather keeps as it has been, consider- ably more business will be done, al- though the appearance of the retail win- dows and market stalls gives one the idea that Easter flowers will be plentiful and sold at a close figure; but the growers have a different view. It is feared that Harrisii and longiflorum will be short in supply. Indications point to a shortage of greens. Violets, both single and double, will be plentiful. Callas are a little more regular than last week. Spiraeas are up to the standard. Various Notes. W. Keir, Pikesville, is erecting anoth- er fine greenhouse. F. Beitz is erecting another fine house. He has a hand that knows how to do it and costs very little. W. Lehr, Brooklyn, Md., was in town buying a full supply of spring garden seeds. The seed business has been extreme- ly heavy this year. Night work is in full blast. The writer received a clipping from A. J. Banard, Boston, Mass., cut from the Boston Sunday Globe, March 17, 1907, stating that Boston is the greatest rose market and telling a story of three brothers who pulled out $600,000 in a decade. It is interesting and can be seen 'at the Gardeners' Club meeting, April 9, 1907. J. L. T. Wilkes Barre, Pa. — Misses Mayme Mooney and Margaret Wier have gone into business. The opening of their store occurred March 12. Miss Mooney has for many years been in the employ of Ira G. Marvin. The ladies are preparing a fine display for Easter.

The Market. « Business has shown great improve- ment the last week, but prices are not what they should be. The weather was exceedingly warm the latter part of last week and sent a great deal of the bulb- ous stock, which was intended for East- er, into the market, and the result was low prices and lots of stock lost. Eoses and carnations cleaned up nicely at fair prices. The extreme heat brought in lots of bad violets and has caused great anxiety for the Easter stock. An unusual number of large funerals last week gave the retailers plenty of work and helped them to make a good showing. Various Notes. Beport from Wheeling, W. Va., says L. A. Smith and Zane & Sons, of the island, lost everything in the plant line, including all the bulbous stock intended for Easter, the water in most cases cov- ering the plants entirely. Arthur Langnans' home was flooded, and while he was trying to get his wife out of the second-story window into a boat, word came to him that his store was on fire. As soon as possible he got there and found the fire had been put out without much loss, but there was about one foot of water in the store. Excepting the inconvenience and the ex- pense of cleaning up, his loss was not heavy. The loss to the plantsmen, how- ever, will run into thousands of dol- lars, for, after standing in cold water forty-eight hours, when the water went down everything was covered with mud. The prospects are for a good Easter and, should the weather continue warm, there is not the least doubt but next week we will be able to report the best trade we ever had. Hoo-Hoo. Dickson, Tenn. — Frank Curry, an ex- perienced gardener and florist, has pur- chased five acres of ground in the Hel- burg addition and will erect a green- liouse.

MABELLE NKW 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. Slae— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when established. Odor — Pleasing, but not strong. Steins— Invariably strong, but always graceful, rang- ing from 13 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, •to.— 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. Prodnot* iTeneas— 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 112.00 per 100; 1100.00 per 1000. THE H.

The Market The cut flower trade keeps up well and the retailers are kept quite busy with decorations for luncheons and re- ceptions, the only entertainments given now on account of the Lenten season. Funeral orders kept some of them busy last week and the general demand for flowers was good. Stock is plentiful, the only shortage being in the shorter grades of roses. American Beauties are coming in more freely, especially the longer-stemmed ones, and some good stock is seen. Carnations are plentiful, and, with such weather as we have been having the last week, there will be a good sup- ply for Easter; in fact, it looks as if the supply of cut flowers will be suffi- cient. Violets are now plentiful, but the warm weather is having some effect on them, as they are somewhat smaller in size. Bulbous stock is fairly plentiful and in good demand, and likely to be, although the prices may scale a notch higher. JLvery retailer is hoping for good weather to deliver plants without hav- ing to wrap them much, for it takes a lot of time when it comes to large aza- leas, hydrangeas, etc.; however, most of the stores are reauy to take care of the Easier rush. There is but little seen so far in the way of novelties. All the old favorites are seen in about the usual quantities, lilies, azaleas, hydrangeas, spiraeas, rhododendrons, ramblers, genis- tas, etc. Lilies are good, but look now as if they will be somewhat scarce be- fore the rush is over. Various Notes. Ben Boldt, formerly owner of the Mud Lake greenhouses, recently returned from the old country and has purchased the Schenkel greenhouses and will take possession at once. The price has not been divulged. He is welcomed back, as he is one of the best plant growers in the country. Emil Glauber, of the Montclair green- houses, has some of the finest Alice Koosevelt roses seen in a long time. They certainly are top-notchers and have made good, the color being fine and they are large blooms. So it is easy to see why he sells them. Mr. Long, of the Elitch Gardens, has returned from the east. E. E. Peterson was downtown a few days ago after a sickness lasting nearly all winter. He is about to start for California for a few months. E. S. K. Adams, Mass. — T. D. Brown has had the most prosperous year in the history of his business. He is planning for a new house this season and is putting in a new boiler.

Mention The Review when yon write. CINQNNATL The Market. Business the last wecK has been much like mid-Siummer. There Avas hardly any demand and a great amount of stock found its way into the ash barrel. Prices dropped to a low ebb and up to Monday there was no indication of a rise. The briglit, warm sunshine has been forcing into bloom a great number of flowers which should not have been ready to cut for a week at least, and as a conse- quence the size of many of the roses shipped into this market has decreased a great deal. What effect this is going to have on the Easter cut can only be guessed at now. Some growers have already begun to salt and it shows on the stock. It would appear at present that there is going to be plenty of stock for Easter, and we all hope that such will be the case. Orders are coming in a lively fashion, and that the business this year will be fully up to other years, if not better, is assured. Various Notes. E. G. Gillett has just returned from a trip through Michigan. He reports^ that the outlook for stock there was good. Harry Corbett, Jr., has rented the greenhouses of George Magrie, which are located on College Hill. He will grow a general line of stock to be disposed of in the flower market. Charles Jones recently had a narrow escape from serious injury. While rid- ing in a light buggy the horse began to cut up and finally ended by running into a telegraph pole. Mr. Jones was thrown about rather roughly, but es- caped with but a few bruises. Walter Mott was a visitor. C. J. Ohmek. De Pere, Wis. — A. Van Gemert is building a greenhouse 20x100 and has engaged John Buth, of Greenleaf, as grower. Angola, Ind. — Fire occurred in the greenhouse of Powers & Gibbs March \'l, but was extinguished by the garden hose before much damage was done. Kexdallville, Ind. — An azalea re- cently sold by the Johnston Floral Co. has created a mild sensation at the neighboring town of Albion. When the flowers Avere fully out some «-ere white, some were red and some were variegated. The people of Albion never had seen anything like it.

The Market Business last week was good, no doubt due to the fine weather. Spring flowers were in great demand and the large quantities disposed of will lessen the Easter supply to some extent. Tulips and daffodils moved rapidly at fair prices. Carnations were abundant and brought out the street dealers in large numbers. The trade in general main- tained the prices nicely, but the confec- tioners and street men were selling them from 50 cents to 60 cents a dozen. Koses are in full crop and there is no doubt but what the home stock will take care of this market nicely. White lilac is more in evidence than ever and there appears to be a growing demand for it. Easter stock is settled. All of the growers will have fully an average of ninety per cent of their lilies in bloom. The only apparent diflSculty is that there has not been a sufficient number of them grown and the heavy retail de- mand which is anticipated makes the growers who have stores reluctant about selling them to the dealer who has no glass. Hydrangeas vary considerably as to quality and size. It is noticeable that growers who have good stocks of them have them nearly all in the large sizes. The stock of azaleas is good, much better than in previous years. Baby Ramblers are likewise good and the ad- vance demand is heavy from country points. Spiraeas are not quite so plenti- ful as in previous seasons. This is pos- sibly just as well, as ey have not been a very satisfactory plant for Easter in the past. SLPauL L. L. May & Co. are introducing a great many Easter novelties, some of the most attractive being floral Easter eggs, chick flower» baskets, and hampers filled with artistic effects. Holm & Olson's lilies will be in and they will have a. fine line of assorted plants. C. F. Vogt is making a nice display of potted plants. Church orders he reports as coming nicely.

What is the proper lieight for a brick smokestack, twelve inches square inside measurement, to provide draft for a 3x12 return flue hot water boiler? The fuel is soft coal, half slack. The chim- ney is to be twenty-four inches inside measurement at the base. J. Y. L. There is no rule to govern the height of a chimney save that the higher the chimney, within reasonable limits, the better the draft. Surrounding objects, such as buildings and trees, have more bearing upon the height of smokestacks than any other single factor. The stack should be high enough to escape eddies, caused by near-by tall trees and build- ings. If there is no obstruction of this character near by I would say a stack twenty-five or thirty feet high would an- swer. L. C. C. RADIATION. I have a house 22x100 and twelve feet to the ridge; side walls are five feet high, two and one-half feet being boards, the remainder glass. There are three benches each five feet wide. What size of pipe should I use, how many runs and how place them to maintain a tempera- ture of 60 degrees when the outdoor tem- perature is 8 degrees below zero. G. S. B. A satisfactory way of providing heat- ing surface for the house in question is as follows: If 2-inch pipe is used, four- teen runs will be required.

There are eight long direct flues over the firebox and four indirect flues, two on each side, which add materially to the heat- ing surfaces. The heated gases travel three times the full length of the boiler. The front and back sections are made in one piece, the intermediate section being in half sections, as in their stand- ard boiler used in so many greenhouses. HOUSE WITH TWO ROOMS. I am about to build a greenhouse for growing miscellaneous plants and cut flowers for a small village trade. I would like to know how to arrange the heating pipes. The house will be north and south and will be 21x50, with 12- foot sashbars. The side walls will be four and one-half feet, with two feet of glass. There will be two side benches two and one-half feet wide and two cen- ter benches five feet six inches wide. Sixteen feet will be partitioned off at the south end to run about 10 degrees lower than carnation temperature, or 55 degrees at night. The hot water heater will be placed in a shed at the north end, four feet below ground level. Should I run the flows along the eaves, under the side benches, or just below the purlins? What number of 2-inch pipes will be re- quired here in central New York, where the mercury sometimes falls to 15 degrees below zero and occasionally to 25 de- grees? C. E. B.

Just now he is rusticating at Corfu and, incidentally, giving his son David point- ers on bringing in. a big crop of roses and carnations for Easter. At the home place William, Jr., is manipulating flow- ering plants. They have a fine lot of hybrid roses in pots. Lilies are uncer- tain. Both of the Kebstocks, of Buffalo, are making fine window displays. This being St. Patrick's anniversary, the shamrock and green carnation are abundant. H. Keitsch & Son find large increase in business since occupying their new store, which they have fitted with every facility for handling high-class trade. W. F, Kasting is preparing for the biggest Easter on record in his place at Buffalo, and does not look for a scarcity in any line. His capacious storeroom is one of the largest, and any- thing in the floral line can be obtained from his able manager, Emile Brucker.

The Tri-City florists held a meeting March 21 at i'ejervary park and elected officers for the ensuing year as follows: President, William Knees; vice-presi- dent for Davenport, Henry Pauli; vice- president for Eock Island, Henry Myer; vice-president for Moline, Julius Staack; treasurer, Adolph Arp; secretary, John Staack; financial secretary, Theodore L. Ewoldt; trustees, P. Becker, Frank Wolz and Henry Gaethje. The topic for discussion was "Beauti- fying City Lots and School Grounds. ' ' Plans were also discussed for the form- ing of a horticultural society. The ob- ject of the society would be to give dis- plays regularly which would include every branch of the florist's work. Such an organiaztion is badly needed in Dav- enport and it is thought more definite plans will be made in the near future. After the business meeting a social time was enjoyed and refreshments were served in the Inn. The next meeting will be held at Fejervary park April 11, and will be open to the ladies. ELBERON, N. J. The Elberon Horticultural Society held its regular meeting March 18, with- President Bobertson in the chair. A. Greib, superintendent for S. Sachs, gave an address on ' ' Violets, ' ' which was both interesting and instructive. A. Kiekards, of New York, and W. F. Eoss, of Tarrytown, were present and made interesting remarks. The principal ex- hibits at this meeting were: Vase of Cattleya Schroederiana, by W. D. Bob- ertson; vase of Princess of Wales vio- lets, by A. Greib; vase of Narcissus Princeps, by J. Kennedy; vase of calla lilies, by P. Murray; vase of La France violets, by F. Dettlinger; vase of Stock Princess Elizabeth, by G. A. Bauer; vase of the grape hyacinth, by B.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* J519 AND We Want to Tell You Again that all this talk about Cypress, its goodness, its lasting qualities and-so-forth, is all right but it doesn't go far enough. Suppose it does last— that's but half the problem; the whole importance lies in where and how it's used. A wooden eave plate of Cypress is fatal if you want an ice-freeing proposition, one that is not a heavy bar of shade at the very point you want all light possible — one that will protect you against end rot in the bars. The H. & Co. Metal Eave Plate and Bar Brackets are but two of the ways we keep Cypress out and put Iron in— there are a dozen more.

(523 i i >»^>*^ THE EASTER BUSINESS :s^ sfe^ A New Record Set, Easter has grown to be so great an event in our trade year that it is diffi- cult to form any accurate estimate com- paring Easter sales for the whole coun- try from year to year. It is mere guess- work to say that the business increased a certain definite percentage. Reports vary and, as no considerable number of individual reports can be gathered, it is only safe to say that Easter of 1907 certainly eclipsed all others in the vol- ume of retail sales. There are stores where it is reported that the* volume of business was not so great as it was a year ago, but in nearly every case these are the stores in the larger cities which cater to the * ' spenders, ' ' the stock gam- bling element which has been hard hit by recent developments in Wall street. Those stores of the better class which draw their patronage from the people longer accustomed to riches do not make the same report, and the stores which cater to the average, every-day citizen say they had the best Easter ever ex- perienced. So much for the retailers. Through the length and breadth of the country, from Portland, Me., to Portland, Ore., the rank and file of the trade who sell from their own green- houses report a splendid business, fully up to best previous records and in most instances ahead in money value of sales. So long as crops are good and factories busy, the average florist will have no difficulty in disposing of all that he can produce at Easter. Weather Hastens Plants. And this Easter production certainly was something tremendous. The early date had no effect whatever in reducing the amount of stock available. Indeed, rather than a restricted supply, more stock than ever was ready. The week or ten days of unseasonably warm weather preceding Easter, which was general throughout the United States, had the effect of hastening everything. There was much more difficulty in re- tarding stock than inducing it to bloom in time. It was characteristic that flow- ering plants were in flower in advance. Every bud on the azaleas was full blown, many lilies were kept for days in the coolest house and the bulbous stock was retarded by every device known to the skill of the growers. Cut Flowers Abundant. Cut flowers were, to say the least, abundant. In fact, in practically all the large wholesale markets a surplus existed, especially of bulbous stock. Re- ports indicate that receipts everywhere were vastly greater than had been an- ticipated. The weather was so unsea- sonable that it was thought every hot day would be the last one and that sea- sonable temperature must certainly fol- low, to check production. But the heat endured, and vrith it came a flood of blooms of indifferent quality. The re- sult was that average prices were lower than usual. I'irst-class stock brought good money but much was sacrificed and the waste was the heaviest ever reported at Easter. Both growers and commis- sion dealers would have been better sat- isfied with half the material and a stiffer market. The retailers in the large cities also would have liked shorter crops, for the surplus inevitably found its way to the sidewalk venders, who sold it at man, east or west, produces little other than bulbous stock: lilies, tulips, hya- cinths and daffodils. It is noteworthy that a large number of those who do a prosperous business had nothing what- ever except these great staples. Still others had, in addition, only a few aza- leas, roses in pots, hydrangeas, valley in pans, and other more or less common plants. The bulk of the business is done wdth the staples, with a few "novelties" for variety. i Many Accessories Used. The sales of plants almost invariably called for some sort of decoration. In hardly any store were pots sent out without a covering. Probably taking the length and breadth of the land, nine out of ten pots were covered with crepe paper, but for the others a great variety of material was used, greater than ever Basket of Hyacinths and Lilies. cheap prices and no doubt kept many away from the legitimate retailers. Another Plant Easter. In spite of the triteness, it must be recorded that this was a plant Easter. The east leads the west in the matter of plants, not especially in the quality of the stock produced, but certainly in its variety. This, of course, pertains only to the leading growers; the average before. The skill of the plantsmen com- bined with the skill of the decorator produced some magnificent effects in the leading stores. The use of ribbon, too, was more general than heretofore. Weather reports indicate that nearly everywhere the trade was favored for three days with excellent conditions for trade and for the delivery of plants without the wrapping which takes much time at a very busy season. f' "" ■,^v-?r;(» i 1524 The Weekly Florists^ Review* APlttL 4, 1907. r: >^^'^'n^m'n>m'n>m'n,'^^'n>^'n<'^^'n^mm>'^'t^.'m'r^'^^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS ^U:^'UeP^'^'n.'U^^m,-^d,^CSd^9^'U^••, r-^^r^'^Afv ■',i.if«4S,"l^'ff 1526 The Weekly Florists^ Review* April 4, 1907. shoTV and leave big gaps ■when done blooming.

Professor Surface, the economic zo- ologist for the state of Pennsylvania, says this insect is one of the Lecanium scales. The problem of killing them on a much infested fern is a difficult one, from the fact that the mature insect can stand more than the fern; but either dipping or syringing with a solution of extract of tobacco will discourage the insects to some extent. The solution I have used for this purpose is in the pro- portion of one part of Eose Leaf ex- tract to fifty parts of warm water. CARNATIONS IN ENGLAND. The newly formed carnation society in England held its second exhibition in London March 13. There was a large display, including almost every variety, and some grand flowers, but to the Brit- ish eye the display was not ' * spectacu- lar" and lacked in popular interest be- cause of the "sameness" of the tables of exhibits. Few novelties were shown. A. F. Button's White Lawson Improved was certificated as differing from the variety commonly known as White Law- son. H. '.Burnett, of St. Margarets, Guernsey, showed a table of splendid flowers, including many new sorts.

I started last year in the florists' business and had fair success. What varieties of carnations in cerise, red, white and pink would you advise me to grow? t, K. I am starting a greenhouse and would like to know what varieties of carna- tions are best for growing together in one house in which the soil is somewhat heavy. The flowers are for village trade. I want a good pink. Enchantress would suit, a white and a red. I do not care for more than one variety of a color. E. C. B. The following varieties will do splen- didly in the same house with Enchantress and you could hardly improve upon them if you wish to grow only one variety in each color: Rose-pink Enchantress for bright pink, Victory for red, and Lady Bountiful for white. White Perfection will cover the season a little better than Lady Bountiful, as it comes good early in the fall, when Bountiful lacks some- what in petalage. If you care to pay the higher price it will pay you to stock up with White Perfection. I have fre- quently on previous occasions advised against planting only one variety in each color, at least until you find out which varieties you will succeed best with. My choice of varieties may not meet with your favor after you try them.

There is an old story to the effect that when an American visitor asked i% garden laborer at one of the colleges at a certain English university for the recipe for such wonderful lawns as the college possessed, the answer was, "You sweeps 'em, and you rolls 'em, and you mows 'em." And when the retort came that this was thoroughly comprehended, the old man still replied, ' * You sweeps 'em, and you rolls 'em, and you mows 'em, ' ' but added, * ' And you keeps on a-doing of it for a hundred years, and then you get good lawns.

I have no soil prepared for the com- ing season 's planting, which will consist of 6,000 carnations and 600 roses. "What is best to do under the circumstances? The soil would have to be hauled a mile or more. C. U. There is no reason why you should not get your soil into good condition if you go at it just as early as possible and follow the right course. It will take more work to get it in shape, or, at least, it will take up your time when you can ill afford to spare it; while, if it had been put up last fall, you could have worked it in between your other work without interfering in the least. For your carnation soil, if you can find some good, rich soil that has been under cultivation, but which has been kept up in good condition by manuring, etc., it will do better under the circum- stances than would a heavy sod. If you can leave it where it is until about the time to use it, I would apply a heavy coat of manurt! and plow it in right away. Do this only if the soil is not too wet to plow nicely; if it is too wet, then wait until it is in proper condi- tion. Don't put on the manure until it is in shape, because it will take too long to dry out and if a heavy rain should come it might keep you from plowing for some time. So get the manure handy and at the proper time spread it on the ground and plow at once. Then plow it over every three weeks and, if mean to skip at least one plowing. I think it would pay to do this. If you cannot follow this plan, then I would look for some good sod and, in- stead of taking it three inches deep, I some good soil, but you must be per- sistent. For your roses, you can cut sod three inches deep and compost it with manure and by chopping it down and thoroughly mixing it with the manure several times between now and planting time, it will be in splendid condition. Roses do not care for as fine a soil as carnations; in fact, a soil that has considerable fiber in it is more to their liking. Many growers cut sod two inches thick and cover the entire bench with this fresh sod, laying it with the grass side down. On top of this is placed a few inches of rotted sod to set the plants in; and the roses certainly seem to thrive on it. I do not mean to say that this layer of sod is essential, but it shows that roses like a rather coarse, fibrous soil with good drainage, while for carnations you want a finer grained soil and more on the sandy order. A. F. J. B. SCRANTON FLORISTS' CLUB. The Scranton Florists' Club is one of the young and hustling trade organiza- tions. It was instituted at a meeting held in Scranton, Pa., November 17, 1905, so that the year and a half of its existence have shown excellent progress. The club meets on the third Friday of each month, in the Guernsey building, and each session sees a good attendance, usually with a considerable number of exhibits, for a silver cup is offered to the member who at the end of the year has scored highest under the point sys- tem of awards. The first exhibition to which the club has invited the general public was held March 15 and already has been described at length in the col- umns of the Review. Exhibits were attracted all the way from Chicago on the west to Long Island on the east. No admission fee was charged, and the attendance of flower buyers was most encouraging to the club.

THE DEATH ROLL. Nathan Smith. Had Nathan Smith, of Adrian, Mich., lived until Saturday, he and his estima- ble wife could have celebrated their sixty-fifth wedding anniversary. As it is, the venerable gentleman died Thurs- day, March 28, at 8:15 p. m., at his home on West Maumee street, and his companion of all these years is left in a house of mourning. Nathan Smith, the senior member of the firm of Nathan Smith & Son, was one of the oldest and most highly re- spected citizens in his city. Without doubt, up to his death, he was the old- est continuous resident of his state, re- moving to Michigan with his parents when he was but 3 years of age. Nathan Smith was born September 22, 1817, at Manlius, Onondaga county, New York. When the family removed to Michigan they settled near Birming- ham, which is now nearly a suburb of Detroit. The father set to work making a home in the woods, where he reared a large family. Nathan Smith is the last one of this large family to go. As a lad Nathan's playmates were the In- dian children of the woods, and he learned to speak their language quite fluently. He seldom saw a white child outside of his own family, and his edu- cation was picked up as best he could. Mr. Smith was a great reader, and kept up to date on all questions to a remark- able degree. At the age of 17 he began learning the carpenter's trade, and was in the work quite extensively in Detroit. For many years he was in charge of the department of construction on the Michigan Central railroad, his first work being on the first Michigan Central roundhouse at Detroit. Most of the first buildings along the Michigan Cen- tral road were erected under his super- vision. He was in charge of a gang of 100 men at the memorable time when, near Michigan City, a railroad crossing war resulted in an accident which killed many men, and which ultimately led up to starting the present laws regulating railway crossings in Michigan. Mr. Smith was married March 30, 1842, in Southfiekl township, Oakland county, to Miss Helen A. Green, and she has proved a faithful and helpful companion through all the sixty-five years that have passed. In the summer of 1843 they moved to Detroit, where they kept their home until 1857, when they removed to Adrian. This city has been their home ever since. Mr. Smith worked at the carpenter's trade for some years, built the present Smith residence himself, on West Maumee street, and in 1876 built the first green- house of the plant which has grown into one of the most widely known green- house establishments in the state. El- mer D. Smith, the only son and junior member of the firm, has accomplished much of this and is now recognized as an authority on the chrysanthemum. Nathan Smith took much interest in the affairs of Adrian. In the building of the college in that city he gave lib- erally of his money and of material. He was one of the first republican vot- ers, and a Fremont man. Of a robust constitution, he had but little sickness during his long life, until last summer. Stijl he kept up all winter, and took to his bed only March 26. The funeral was conducted from the house March 30. The burial was private. Nathan Smith. Mn. Henry A. Dreer. Mary L. Dreer, widow of Henry A. Dreer, founder of the well-known Phila- delphia business conducted under that name, died March 25, at Pasadena, Cal., where she had made her home since 1890. Mrs. Dreer was born September 27, 1829, at Reading, Pa., and after her marriage to Mr, Dreer in 1847 lived at Philadelphia for forty-three years. She was a woman of highest character and ceaseless activity, devoting much of her time to charitable enterprises. Her hospital work during the war of the rebellion is still well remembered. She is survived by four daughters and one son, the latter, William F. Dreer, the pres- ent head of the Henry A. Dreer corpora- tion, who annually has spent a portion of every winter with his mother at her home at Pasadena. The interment will be at Philadelphia. Gacton Glosk. Gaston Glosk, a young German em- ployed by W. W. Seekins, Duluth, Minn., died of heart failure on the evening of March 27, while at work in the packing shed. Nothing is known of his rela- tives. He removed to Duluth from Chi- cago late in February. He was a man of more than average intelligence. Aida G Messeberg. Aida C, wife of Gus Messeberg, one of the oldest florists of Flatbush, Brook- lyn, N. Y., died March 25 at her home, 317 Snyder avenue. She was 33 years of age. Thomas H. Douglas. Thomas H. Douglas, of the firm of R. Douglas' Sons, of Waukegan, died March 26, at Los Angeles, Cal., of heart failure. Robert Douglas, the father of the deceased, was a nurseryman of na- tional reputation, and the firm still does a large business in evergreens. Thomas J. Kirchner. Thomas J. Kirchner, 72 years old, died at his home in South Euclid, Cleve- land, 0., March 26. He has been in the business in ClevelaTnd for fifty years. He came here sixty years ago with his father, the two walking from Wheeling, W. Va. His wife came from the same place on a canal boat. He leaves a widow and five children. ST. LOUIS. Easter Business. From what can be learned from the local retailers and wholesalers, this Eas- ter was a record breaker, as all indica- tions point to a phenomenal sale of plants and cut flowers. The weather was good, with bright skies Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The glut early in the week came to an end Saturday and prices sud- denly went up on almost everything. Quite a lot of funeral work came in just when it was not wanted. The sale of blooming plants was great, especially lilies, and not enough of these were on hand for the demand. The west end establishments were early sold out of lilies. Some of the floral displays in the big show houses were of the highest type. George Waldbart's and Mrs. Ayers' on Grand avenue were gorgeous sights; so were the displays of F. C. Weber, Miss Newman, F. H. Weber, El- lison Floral Co., J. F. Windt and Will- iam Kalisch & Sons. These places were great attractions for the west end buyers. C. Young & Sons Co. 's store was a great sight all last week. The downtown florists, who handle fewer plants, made great shows of cut flowers. The south enders, Schray, Beyer, Kruse, Fillmore, Windier, Bergsterman and the Eggeling Floral Co., are more than pleased with this year's Easter trade. In the north end, Bentzen, Huette- mann, Brix, Meinhardt, the Koenig Flo- ral Co. and Rotter, had all the business they could handle. The wholesalers were not so well pleased the early part of last week. Trade was light and the big glut of stock that went to waste was not much to their liking, until Saturday, when stock be- came suddenly in demand and prices higher. Sunday was a great disappoint- ment to the local buyers, when little APRIL 4, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 1529 came in and everybody was begging for stock at greatly increased prices. Vio- lets and sweet peas had a great call Sun- day morning, but few came in and only half of the orders were filled. This month quite a lot of trade is looked for. as a number of big wedding orders are booked. April 1 was Fool b day and April 2 was election day. There was not much in either of these days for the florists. The plantsmen are look- ing for a big month 's business in bed- ding, with plenty of orders ahead to keep them all busy. The nurserymen, too, have all they can do at present. Various Notes. J. J, Karins, representing Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, spent Easter week with the trade. Miss Bell Miller, of Springfield, 111., spent a day here last week, visiting the local commission men regarding Easter stock. • Walter Betzer, who is now with the St. Louis Seed Co., reports that the firm's business is large and all hands working overtime. Adolph Brix reports that he has bought the ground and greenhouses of Theodore K lockenkemper, on Mead ave- nue. Mr. Brix has been running the place under lease for some time, with Henry Braun as foreman. The products of the place are large and of good qual- ity, and supply the store on St. Louis avenue. The Foster Floral Co. has given up the new location at 612 Olive street and will be able to remain at the old place for another year. J. F, Ammann, at Edwardsville, is building a new house, 40x150, which is almost completed. His retail store is having a fine run of trade. The store is in charge of his eldest daughter. Hugo Gross, at Kirkwood, Mo., will start at once to build six new houses to be used for carnations and violets. Mr. Gross has had great success this season. W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, has re- ceived a large lot of rooted carnation cuttings for the new houses he will build this summer. Mr. Pilcher helped out Mrs. Ayers during the Easter rush. Henry Ostertag was in a smash-up last week. Luckily no bones were broken. George Waldbart has had a hard time keeping himself from being hemmed in on all sides with rock and brick from the new building at the corner. Mrs. Frank M. Ellis will leave next week to join her husband in Panama. From all reports Mr. Ellis has fine pros- pects there. His two daughters will re- main here for a while. Oscar Huettemann, whose place is at Grand and Florissant avenues, was driv- ing along Grand avenue with a load of blooming plants, when some one called his attention to a fire on the rear of his wagon. It destroyed the entire load of plants and badly damaged the wagon. The loss was about $50. Miss Schnell, of East St. Louis, drives over every morning in her new wagon for her supply of cut flowers. Easter business was better than ever. The Florists' Club meeting will take place next Thursday afternoon in the Burlington building. The annual rose show will take place, at which $50 in prizes are offered. There will be a dis- cussion on Easter trade. The trustees are at work to make this meeting a big success and the attendance large. Every- body in the trade is invited to attend. J. J. B. GERANIUM COUNTESS. The new scarlet, double-flowered, bronze-leaved geranium. Countess, is a sport that originated with W. T. Bell & Sons, of Franklin, Pa., about three years ago, from the single, bronze- leaved geranium, Earl Eosslyn, one of the best of its class. They have grown and increased it since, without selling any, and believe it to be a very desir- able and salable novelty. The color is bright scarlet, which contrasts more pleasantly with the distinctly-zoned bronzy foliage than do the salmon-col- ored flowers of some of the other bronzes. The illustration is from a pho- tograph of a plant growing in a 2-inch pot. BOSTON. The Easter Market. Another Easter has come and gone and again the verdict, taking all things into consideration, is that it was the Geranium Gsuntess. best ever. Weather conditions were re- markable, being more like those of June than March on the Friday and Saturday before Easter. Temperatures of 75 to 84 degrees in the shade were hardly looked for and such hot weather nat- urally brought in a tremendous flood of cut flowers. The fact that the Easter market is be- coming more and more one for plants was again demonstrated and sales of these were larger than ever, prices also showing some improvement. Of course, Easter lilies were the leaders and of these there proved to be a decided short- age. Prices which had been 121/^ to 15 cents per bud a week earlier advanced to 20 cents and 25 cents, and even then the supply was entirely inadequate. Those who got their crops in season are in good spirits. Quite a few, however, were a little behind. The hot weather, how- ever, helped these considerably. Next to lilies, azaleas were in most favor and met with a splendid sale. In roses pink ramblers went better than the crimson ones. Lady Gay and Dorothy Perkins being much in evidence. Many of the plants, however, carried small trusses and were evidently fall potted stock. Those grown in pots from the previous spring were vastly superior in every way and the wonder is that growers will persist in the former method. Some nice Frau Karl Druschki, Brunner and other hybrids in pots were seen. In acacias, the variety arraata was rather overdone. Some very good A. heterophylla and A. Drummondi were also seen. Pink and white hydrangeas sold well, rhododendrons only moder- ately. Dutch bulbous stock went rather slowly. Marguerite Queen Alexandra and Astilbe Japonica grandiflora and Gladstone were seen at many stores. Genistas sold well. Some nice Erica Caffra densa were noted. Among flow- ering shrubs pink and white hawthornes, cherries, deutzias and apples were nicely flowered. There was a fair call for palms and small ferns. In cut flowers cut lilies cleaned out quickly at higher prices than they had realized for some years. Lilium candi- dum was more largely seen than for a decade. About every grower, however, had the poor, narrow-petaled variety which is but a ghost of the northern- grown, broad-petaled one. Prices on the candidums were 5 to 6 cents per flower. Eoses were ample for all needs. On Beauties $8 to $9 per dozen were top prices, from that down to $25 per hun- dred. There was a good supply of these, Richmond, Killarney, Bride, Maid, Wel- lesley, Chatenay and Morgan all showed up well; but little advance on current prices was made. A few nice Safrano and Bon Silene were seen, but few good hybrids. Carnations made no advance. In fact, towards the close of Saturday's market many were unsold. Ruling rates were $4 to $5 for good, ordinary stock and $6 to $8 for fancies. A good many were, however, cleared at lower figures. Violets, owing to the hot weather, were in enormous supply. The heat took considerable odor out of the singles and made them go to sleep quickly. It was not a first-class market on these. Top price was 75 cents. Many went at 50 cents and poor stock lower. English primroses w^re overabundant and hard to sell. Marguerites went quickly at from $1 to $2.50 per hundred. Sweet peas were fine and sold extremely well at $1 and $1.50 per hundred. Bulbous stock was in heavy oversupply and much could not be sold at any price. Nar- cissus poeticus sold the best in this class. Valley was in good supply, the quality being excellent. Sales were fairly good. There was a good variety of miscella- neous flowers. Of these ranunculi and anemones sold well, as did Spanish iris. Mignonette, stocks and snapdragons were all inclined to be druggy. There was a very good sale for smilax, asparagus and other greenery. Summing up the cut flower market, everything was in abundant supply but lilies and the hot wave and consequent heavy cuts kept prices down to a mod- erate level. More flowers were unsold than in 1906, but about all were of the cheaper grades. Various Notes. The closing lecture of the season at Horticultural hall, March 30, drew out an audience which packed the lecture hall. John K. M. L. Farquhar's lecture on "Gardens of Italy" was the attrac- tion.

Tempting offers made since the deal went through show that Mr, Elliott has made a safe pur- chase. Waban Conservatories had a heavy cut of American Beauties for Easter. They will grow Killarney more extensively an- other year. A pure white sport of this popular rose is one of Mr. Montgom- ery's finds this season. Peirce Bros, could have sold some thousands more longiflorums last week. They grew several thousand candidums, which came in right for Easter. William Nicholson had 10,000 mar- guerite flowers, which, as usual, ' * sold like hot cakes," March 30. The banquet of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club will be held at Horticul- tural hall April 24. Tickets can be had from the officers and members of the executive committee. The New England Dahlia Society will offer over $500 in special prizes at its show in Boston in September. B. & J. Farquhar & Co. showed a large and well flowered specimen of Pelargo- nium Mme. Thibaut at Horticultural hall March 30, which received honorable men- tion. Welch Bros, sold about twice as many plants as on any previous Easter. Their shipping trade in cut flowers was also of immense proportions and beats all past records. W. H. Elliott had a grand lot of Killarney and Eichmond roses from his Madbury, N. H., establishment. Carbone had some fine Pink Pearl rho- dodendrons for Easter, also gardenias, Crataegus and excellent Dorothy Perkins roses. At Doyle's, Acacia heterophylla was seen in excellent shape, also well flow- ered cherries and other shrubs. H. M. Bobinson & Co. did a heavy cut flower trade for their first Easter and had a big call for hardy ferns and other greenery. One of the best arranged Easter win- dows was that of Sidney Hoffman, on Massachusetts avenue, who handled a big lot of splendid stock. His trade shows a steady increase. The Boston Sunday Herald of March 31 estimated Boston's Easter sales of plants and flowers at about $400,000. The Bay State Nurseries are having an exceptionally busy season and are keep- ing a small army of men digging and packing nursery stock for shipment at present. W. N. Ckaig. TARRYTOWN. N. Y. The regular monthly meeting of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society was held March 26, President Howard Nichols in the chair. There were two elected to active membership and three nomina- tions. Wadsworth Lewis offers a silver pitcher to be competed for at the fall show and Mrs. George Lewis offers a silver cup. Julius Boehrs Co. offers $25 for the best table of orchids; H. A. Dreer $10 for the best collection of stove plants, and the F. B. Pierson Co. a sil- ver cup worth $25 for carnations. Pres- ident Howard Nichols puts up $10 for the best six pot plants of chrysanthe- mums, pots not to exceed seven inches. The executive committee reported on the schedule for the fall show and sug- gested a few minor alterations from last year. It was voted to print a prelimi- nary schedule and mail it to members. The complete schedule is to be printed as soon as the secretary receives all the special prizes. The monthly prize for the best dis- play of flowering plants and cut blooms was awarded to D. McFarlane, as was also a certificate of merit for the same exhibit. A certificate of merit was awarded James Ballantyne for his ex- hibit, w'hich consisted mostly of Cinera- ria stellata and bulbous stock shown in pots and pans. The exhibits made a very effective display and were favor- ably commented upon. A paper on * * Hardy Outdoor Boses ' ' was read by D. McFarlane and was freely discussed. D. McFarlane. CINQNNATL The Easter Market. Easter, the greatest of all days in the flower business, has again passed into history; and what a name it has made for itself this year! Never have we had such an Easter, and let us hope that we will never have another like it. From the point of view of the amount of busi- ness done, it was the best we ever have had, but the conditions which prevailed during Easter week were such as never have had a duplicate in the history of the business in this city. From what I have heard, the conditions prevailing here were the same as prevailed in most of the large flower centers. The summer-like weather for three weeks brought in all kinds of flowers with a rush and right up to Friday night there was a big glut on the mar- ket, of most all varieties of flowers, with the possible exception of lilies. The hot weather had made everything so soft that it could not be sent out by the wholesale men and the home store- men would not buy it. The quantity of stock which found itself in the ash barrel was enormous. The bulbous flowers suffered the heaviest and thou- sands of this class of stock proved ab- solutely worthless and a total loss. Car- nations and roses, too, were not far be- hind. It was simply impossible to hold them. Many growers who were up to their usual tricks of pickling stock sent in shipments which were thrown into the ash barrel as soon as received. In some cases they were positively rotten. The enormous amount of stock sent to the wholesale houses in this city was without parallel in the history of this market. But with all of this there was enough good stock to roll up a business which sets a new high-water mark. The retail men report a fine trade and the demand for plants has never been better. Easter lilies carried off the palm and, while at first it looked a.§ if there would be too many of them, at the last minute many more could have been sold to good advantage. Sweet peas were also first-class property and those which arrived in good shape were sold out in a hurry. There were large quantities of both roses and carnations which were good and fresh and this stock was disposed of with a rush. Various Notes. J, Charles McCullough, whom the re- cent flood of the Ohio compelled to move from his warehouses and retail store at Walnut and Second streets, is again doing business in his regular offices as if nothing had happened. This makes two times this year that he was obliged to move on account of high water and it entailed a great deal of work and a considerable loss of money. Thf growers in the Jabez Elliot flower market had their usual good busi- ness. Easter is always the greatest day of the y«ar in this market and this year everyone sold out clean and general sat- isfaction is the result. The plant trade here was satisfactory. The next meeting of the Florists' So- ciety will be held in the club rooms Sat- urday evening, April 13. It is expected that this will be an interesting meeting and that a good number of the members will be present. C. J. Ohmer. NET YORK. TheVUAtL The Easter of 1907 was in many ways the most remarkable of a quarter of a century. For a week before and right up to Sunday night, the weather was as mild, and sunny, and delightful as the springtime ever brings. At times the temperature was close to 80 de- grees in the sun. But what proved so great an advantage to the local growers with belated crops, became a menace through the southern shipments, and all the narcissi and other flowers from the sunny south arrived, and as many of the wholesalers expressed it, melted. Nearly every box of these was con- signed to the discard, for not a dollar could be realized on them. The weather was no small factor in the V. remarkably low prices that pre- vailed. For once the retailer was king. There was enough of everything and to spare. Prices for cut flowers at Easter were never so low. Quality, owing to the long spell of hot weather and the activity of the pickling industry, was ■ below the average. Pickling was cer- tainly again in evidence — lots of it. Protests are of no avail. Even violets were held over and such stock was cleaned out, as it deserved to be, at the lowest Easter prices ever known. There must have been two million vio- lets shipped to New York Saturday. I saw over seventy boxes delivered at one wholesale house in one shipment and this was duplicated in the case of many. The actual total of violets received in New York on Friday and Saturday no man can number. A few sold at 60 cents, but 50 cents was generally top^ and so on down to as low as $2 per thousand. The streets were blue with them. Whoever heard of violets on the street at Easter before? Beauties never got above $30 per hundred. The bulk of them were sold at $25. Bichmond, Chatenay and Jacq. sold well. Bride and Maid seldom got above $10 per hundred and this price only for the choicest. The average was $6 to $8, and so on down to $2. In fact, the pickled and mildewed stuff was offered as low as $10 per thousand before midnight Saturday, Orchids were in good demand and supply was limited, for large shipments to other cities depleted the market. Values were firm and quality and variety were satisfactory. Gardenias did not sell up to expectations. There were too many white carnations and too much valley. The novelties and the best of the new varieties of carna- tions brought $6 to $8 per hundred, $4 for the Lawson grade and $2 for the •IT- -^a-T^-r, ,; ""^T*' ~ APBIL 4, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ J53J rest of them. Valley never rose above $2.50. Lilies after all could not climb to 20 cents. A few were sold on Saturday at 15 cents. The general price was 12 cents and at this figure nine-tenths of the stock was sold. There was no sur- plus. Every plant and flower was sold. Smilax, which could have been well sold earlier in the week, was held back, Avith the inevitable result of lower prices in the end. As to the rest of the cut flower stock, the less said the better. Hyacinths, tulips, narcissi, daisies and mignonette were all in the same class. Barrels of them joined the procession to the bone- yard on Monday. After a Aveek of summer, a down- pour of rain began Sunday evening. But the day itself was perfect. The great parade was a wonderful exhibit of flowers, for the buying from the retailers was universal. With the ma- jority not a perfect plant remained, nor a flower unsold. It was the best Easter the retailer has ever known. Prices were about the same to his cus- tomers as other years and his profits were far more satisfactory. For his plants he paid about as usual and he sold them all. The " depression among the Wall street people was not as great as feared. The great mass of our 4,000,000 population have been pros- perous and their increasing numbers more than atoned for the society defi- ciency. The retailer who did not wear a smile Sunday evening was too weary from his forty-eight hour vigil. It is a good thing for every department of the business when the retailer is prosperous. After a rather serious winter this in- terlude is sweet music, for it means paid obligations, restored confidence and capital for further enterprise. The wholesaler carried the greatest burden of anxiety this Easter, for he was "between the devil and the deep sea," the devil of the pickler and the deep sea of overproduction. He man- aged to steer his bark safely into har- bor. The pickled stuff was lost. The big shipments were disposed of at fair prices. The grower, if he came to town on Saturday, saw these middlemen, now so indispensable, on duty all night long studying hia interests, realizing all they could honestly ask for his products and tireless in attention to duty and the interests of their customers. The grower for the New York market has the best outlet for his commodities in the world, for nearly fifty reliable wholesalers are at his call, ready to afford him facilities for selling to the best advantage. To be assured of value for his goods there is only one de- sideratum necessary, quality, and witn this once demonstrated there can only be one result, success and competence. The plant growers are all on "easy street" and ready for future achieve- ments, with plenty of room at their disposal for Memorial day material. They have sold out completely. Their prices were fair and the quality of their offerings up to if not a little ahead of any other year. New York has taken nearly everything grown that had the trade-mark of quality, and always will. There are no plant growers in the world that are capable of producing better stock than those within a radius of twenty-five miles of this big city and to specify without including every one of them would be unfair to all. Their names are household words in American floriculture. You can't beat 'em. Next year Easter arrives three weeks later, April 19. This is a good time. to begin preparing for it. Following the rainstorm of Easter night came one more blizzard, and Monday morning early risers found the temperature down near freezing again and the ground covered with snow. Every orthodox florist saw in this a distinct and personal interposition of providence and it certainly looks that way. If Saturday and Sunday had seen the storm of Sunday night it would have meant a loss to the florists of at least a million dollars. Wholesaledom was as quiet as a The Kdltor Is pleased wben a Reader presents his ideas on any subject treated fVtf^ As experience is the best teacher, so do "we learn fastest by an ezchanee of experiences.

WE SHAIX BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM TOU. L cemetery on Monday. Prices fell con- siderably, with the tendency still down- ward. I wouldn't be surprised, as the weather grows mild and sunny, to see Beauties fall to $15 per hundred and Brides to $6 and under before the week is over. This is gentle spring's last linger in the lap of winter. Variotu Notes. On Wednesday of this week at Craw- ford, N. J., Miss Ollie, daughter of Charles Weathered, will be married to one of New York's popular scions of the 400, a most estimable gentleman. The young lady has the congratulations of her father's many friends in the New York Florists' Club and out of it. The club's rose meeting and ladies' night will be celebrated Monday even- ing, April 8. This should bring out the banner attendance of the year. A lot of surprises are in store for .all who come. Rose exhibits may be sent in care of Secretary Young. Some of the latest rose acquisitions will be seen. Perhaps the one Mr. Siebrecht has named Mrs. Theodore Eoosevelt, and possibly Gumey Hill may not forget us. Ralph M. Ward & Co. have just se- cured the sole agency in this country for the big bulb house of Martial Bremond, of Ollioules, France, one of the largest bulb exporters of Europe. Siebrecht & Son have just succeeded in transplanting safely the largest tree they say ever was moved in this or any other country. The Reliable Ribbon Co. is a new en- terprise, factory at Bayonne, salesroom at 46 West Twenty-eighth street. The ribbon field is widening every year, never more in evidence than this Easter, when every plant and basket depended upon chiffon and plaid and multi- colored ribbon effects to accentuate its beauty and completeness. R. Haffner has moved to a handsome store at One Hundred and Forty-first street, in Harlem, on Alexander avenue. This section of the Bronx above the Harlem river is fast developing into one of the best suburbs of the big city. Last Monday Willie Bogart suffered a great bereavement in the loss of his little daughter, at 538 West One Hun- dred and Fifty-ninth street. He has the sympathy of all in the trade. C. W. Ward's family are on their way home from a pleasant outing in Jamaica, West Indies. At last accounts a tropical storm was delaying their de- parture in the harbor, W. H. Donohoe had an especially handsome affair last week, in house and church, in which a noble lord partici- pated. Retail windows last week exceeded anything ever seen before in beautiful effects and many of the decorations were strikingly original. On Saturday night one of the Broadway stores had in its center window a large electric cross with floral base and adornment that was drawing the crowds all the evening. Masses of color were the pre- vailing plan, in one store a group of handsome azaleas, in another only American Beauties, in another genistas and acacias and so on all over the city, some distinctive flower or color giving attractiveness to the display. Added to these were novelties in trunks, boxes, vases, autos, ornaments of Easter sig- nificance, all combining to make the oc- casion of special interest to the multi- tudes and especially to the excursion- ists, of whom it was declared a half a million were in the city to celebrate the holiday. J. Austin Shaw. Horticultural Society. The regular monthly meeting of the Horticultural Society of New York will be held in the American Institute rooms at 4:30 Wednesday, April 10, when the subject for discussion is "Plants for Shaded Gardens."

An interesting paragraph has been going the rounds of the daily papers quoting "one of the officials of the De- partment of Agriculture" on the exact- ness with which growers time their greenhouse crops. He is made to say that this art is now down so fine that churches can be decorated Saturday fiight with lilies in bud so nicely timed that they burst into full bloom Easter morning ! Easter, 1908, falls on April 19, three weeks later than this year. A PRINTED letter-head commands re- spect; better see your local printer about it today. The retailers have before them three of the busiest and most profitable months of the year. The early date of Easter gives us a longer season than usual for the bed- ding plant business, which culminates with a rush at Memorial day. Seekers after novelties should keep their eyes on the pages of the Eeview devoted to European advertisements. Practically all novelties are offered there as soon as stock is ready. The unseasonably warm weather for the last half of March cost the trade a great many thousands of dollars. Not only did it make a surplus, but much material was of unsalable quality. The secretary of the Chrysanthemum Society of America has issued a neat pamphlet containing the proceedings of the annual meetings of 1905 and 1906, together with a list of the varieties of chrysanthemums introduced in 1906. The consignment of cut lilies from Bermuda to reach New York this year was only 250 cases of sixty blooms each, instead of 2,000 to 3,000 cases as in other years. The stock usually pene- trates to the ^Mississippi valley, and even to the Missouri, through the agency • of the express companies and customs forwarders to whom it is con- signed, but this year little of it got out- side of New York and Brooklyn, mak- ing no appreciable impression on the market in either city. QUICK RETURNS. Bequests like the following, from a large firm of mail order plantsmen, fre- quently come to the Review: ' ' As soon as this week 's Eeview is out, send us one by special delivery; en- closed find stamps. ' ' Highly as such people may value the literary features of the paper, you may safely bet your bottom dollar it is the advertising they are in such haste to see. Because buyers are watching for the ar- rival of the Review, e\-«ry now and then some advertiser writes that he received telegraphic orders before the mail had brought his own copy of the paper con- taining his advertisement. Buyers have not failed to note that the Review presents always the most advertising in all lines. EXPRESS COMPANIES BARRED. Cannot Buy or Sell Merchandise. * The Wells-Fargo Express Co. has re- cently issued instructions to its em- ployes that they must not hereafter un- dertake to conduct, in their own names or the name of the company, any mer- chandise business. This is the first step by any of the express concerns to clear their skirts in connection with the charges that they have been improperly engaging in competition with the com- mission merchants and other dealers in their territory by handling fruits and other commodities in their own name, and in the purchase and sale of mer- chandise for patrons. The Interstate Commerce Commission inclines to believe it has power enough under the present law to prevent the companies continuing this business, and has issued an order for hearings to de- termine the nature and extent of the practice. At certain seasons of the year the ex- press companies have been large handlers of outdoor flowers, especially of cape jasmines, SPRING WAKING. A Snowdrop lay In the sweet, dark ground. "Come out," said the Sun; "come out!" But she lay quite still and she heard no sound. "Asleep," said the Sun, "no doubt!" The Snowdrop heard, for she raised her head. "Look spry," said the Sun, "look spry!" "It's warm," said the Snowdrop, "here In bed." "Oh, fle!" said the Sun, "Oh, fie!" "You call too soon, Mr. Sun, you do!" "No, no," said the Sun, "Oh, no!" "There's nothing above, and I can't see through." "It's snow," said the Sun, "just snow." "But I say, Mr. Sun, are the Robins here?" "Maybe," said the Sun, "maybe." "There wasn't a bird when you called last year." "Come out," said the Sun, "and see!" The Snowdrop sighed, for she liked her nap. And there wasn't a bird in sight; But she popped out of bed In her white night- cap. "That's right," said the Sun, "that's right!" And, soon as that small night-cap was seen, A Robin began to sing; The air grew warm, and the grass turned green. " 'Tls Spring!" laughed the Sun; " 'tis spring!" —Isabel Ecclestone Mackay, In April St. Nich- olas. AZALEA HEXE. Writers in the Review, especially William Scott, have several times said a word in commendation of Azalea Hexe. Here is a recent comment by a London contemporary : ' ' Azalea amoena Hexe is a useful and beautiful azalea, and, as it blooms with the utmost freedom in small pots, it promises to become a popular market variety. For conservatory decoration, and for vases in rooms, this is a charm- ing azalea. It has the good, bushy habit of A. amoDna, but it has larger leafage than the type and much larger flowers. Moreo\'«r, the flowers are of a rich but soft rose-red shade and have none of that magenta-jjurple coloring that so many people dislike in A. amoena proper. The flowers of A. Hexe are of the calyciflora or hose-in-hose character; there is, so to speak, a corolla placed in- side a corolla, but they are fitted closely together, and thus make a t)eautiful rather than merely an interesting flower. ' ' A CUT-LEAVED CYRTOMIUM. Cyrtomium falcatum Rochfordi is an old friend in a new dress, and a very elegant dress it is, says an English con- temporary. Every reader knows that C. falcatum is almost hardy, and that as a cool greenhouse fern, for house dec- oration, it is one of the best tempered of plants. The newcomer is like the good old type in habit and hardiness, but each division of its fronds is ele- gantly cut and fringed. The new fern cannot fail to become popular, as it is a plant every one will be able to grow, and it is also handsome. It was re- cently given a first-class certificate when exhibited before the Royal Horticultural Society by T. Rochford & Sons, Turn- ford Hall, Broxbourne. TTJfV-' APBiL 4, 1907.

CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The volume of Kaster Vjusini'ss cer- tainly exceedetl anything in the previous history of the Chicago market, but the aggregate money value of sales for the week does not make a larger, if, indeed, so large a sum as in 1906. The tre- mendous quantity of poor stock resulted in the lowest average Easter prices within the recollection of any of the wholesalers. Most of the wholesalers had money receipts comparing well with those of a year ago for the three ly was good lilies. As had been pre- dicted, there were short lilies which it was not possible to sell, but by Friday good stock had been pretty well cleaned up. However, the demand had been pretty well satisfied and there was no • all which warranted an advance in price. Callas were received in thousands, and a large part of them were lost. The weather was responsible for ev- erything ill that happened at Easter. It is to be blamed for the surplus of stock, and also for the fact that quality aver- aged the poorest that it has in any re- '•ent year. Only a small part of the re- <'eipts came anywhere near meeting ox- acting requirements. Taking the total receipts of the market, it probably is not an exaggeration to say that nine-tenths «f the stock was below the quality nec- essary for shipping. The result was tliat all good stock, capable of standing ji journey or equal to the needs of the first-class stores, brought first-class prices. In spite of the fact that there was no bottom to tiie market, the best goods brought iiigher i)rices than a year ago. This was particularly true of roses. Heauty fared no better tlian the other varieties, as the supply of long, fancy stock was sucii as to leave some to be sacrificed. However, Saturday night found the market fairly well cleaned up on roses. The inundation of carnations was something wholly beyond expectations. 8o large a i)art of the stock was soft, and so many of the growers had bunched sleepy flowers with fresh ones, that really good stuff brought fair prices, but there were a great nuiny thousands on which the buyer made the going price.

The receipts clearly showed that the Beauty crops are at length on in full force. Quality is fine and the supply so great that all sorts of stores are handling Beauties in quantity. It is worthy of note that some good violets are now to be had and are bringing fair prices. Easter at Retail. The retailers all are abundantly satis- fied with the results of the Easter busi- ness. The early buying was not up to expectations and Thursday it rained nearly all day, so that there was nothing doing. The result was that the business was all transacted in two days. The weather was perfect Friday and Satur- day and the rush was something phe- nomenal. Nearly every store had a greater stock than ever before, of flow- ering plants of all descriptions. It was inevitable that something should be left, but the general report is of an excellent clean-up. The retailers did no cut flower buying until Friday and Saturday. They were taking a chance on the warm weather holding and producing a glut in the market. The result was that they were able to supply their needs on favor- able terms, except where special fancy stock was required. While it was a plant Easter, still large quantities of cut flow- ers were handled. There was a good profit in everything and no retailer is heard to complain. Sunday morning found the temperature back to normal and wrapping necessary. The deliveries were, therefore, a greater task than they otherwise would have been, and Easter deliveries alway» have been a problem be- cause of the bulk of the flowering plants. Fleischman to Enlarge. B. Eubel, of the Fleischman Floral Co., states that he has taken a lease on the store next door, at 5 Jackson boule- vard, from May 1. During the summer the partition will be taken down, throw- ing the new space into the flower store. The enlarged store will be refitted throughout in the best of style, Mr. Rubel stating that it is his intention to fit up a place second to no fiower store in the United States. For the Easter deliveries from the Jackson boulevard store, eight hired buses emblazoned with characteristic signs were employed, besides the three regular delivery wagons. The north side store, where L. ±{. Bohannon is manager, also is doing a good business. The Weather in March. According to the weather bureau jNIarch was the warmest since 1878, the mean temperature being 43 degrees, against a normal of 35 degrees. The highest reading, 80 degrees, March 23, was the highest for March in the thirty- seven years the government has ueen keeping records. There were nine days with readings above 60 degrees. There were only three clear days, fifteen partly cloudy and thirteen cloudy. Variotu Notes. As usual, the azalea was the principal feature of the Easter stock at E. Wien- hoeber's. The plants were perfectly flowered and a finer display never was seen. The principal varieties were Haer- ensiana and Mme. Joseph Vervsene, both light pink with deeper pink at the base of the petals. The white variety grown was Louis Culvier. Mr. Wienhoel^r no longer grows the big specimens which once were a feature at his place. He does not urge the use of ribbon, but most of the plants were sent out planted in a great variety of receptacles, most of them odd pieces of pottery. P. J. Hauswirth had for Easter a great variety of plants, most of them picked up at the establishments of Wm. K. Harris and Robert Craig Co. during his recent trip to Philadelphia. The vari- egated bougainvillea is an odd and pleasing plant. Hawthornes he wished he had more of. The Lady Gay rose is all right, but the color is so close to the Philadelphia Rambler that few buy- ers noted the difference. F. Woick, 4801 South Robey street, had a large amount of bulbous stock for Easter, tulips, hyacinths and narcissi. In common with practically every other grower he had difficulty in holding his stock back because of the unseasonably warm weather. Club meeting April 11. Don't miss it. Something doing every meeting night nowadays. Charles Ussing, a recruit from New York, has been added to John Muir's staff. He has charge at the Forty-sev- enth street store.

In addition to orchids, George Rein- berg will next season grow mignonette, sweet peas, valley, and a number of mis- cellaneous items. Mr. Foerster, at the iiimniiill^ |ii|i|i, I ill*?""

The firm of Heubner & Brown, at 90 Washington street, consists of John A. Heubner and Theron V. Brown. They did a nice Easter business. Last Saturday the E. F.

Unfortunately jt came after the Easter rush and when there was no special de- mand. Ned Washburn, son of C. L. Wash- burn, was at home from Madison, for Easter and helped out during the rush at Bassett & Washburn's. One wholesale house reports the re- ceipts of 70,000 poet's narcissi from a southern consignor.

Plants of all kinds sold well. There was an exceptionally heavy demand for lily plants and the supply of these was taken up early. Good azaleas were quite scarce. There were plenty of primulas, lilac, spiraeas and deutzias. Hydrangeas were scarce. In cut flowers there were plenty of roses and carnations. Violets were affected by tlie warm weather and those that came in were somewhat small, al- though they were sold at fair figures. There was plenty of bulb stock, such as tulips, hyacinths and lily of the valley. Easter lilies were plentiful the first of the week but shortened up considerably as Easter approached and prices took a jump to $2.50 per dozen for good stock Friday and Saturday. More could have been sold had they been available. Some very fine mignonette was in the market but there is not a heavy call for this flower for Easter decorations. Most of the retailers Avere well sup- plied with plants. Nearly all the down- town florists made heavy displays antl all salable stock brought good figures. IncO(;. INDIANAPOLIS. Current Comment. During the last week the continued hot weather got in its work on all classes of stock. The bulbs suffered most and by the last of the week thousands of daffodils!, tulips and hyacinths were con- signed to the dump. Spiraeas showed the effects of the lieat. as did the lilies. Nothing could withstand the tempera- tures of 60 to 65 degrees at night and 80 to 85 degrees by day. Roses, though, were scarce and commanded a good price. Carnations were fairly plentiful and the quality good and were eagerly sought after by all good judges of flowers. E. A. Nelson had tlie best lot of spi- ra-as in the city; he got them in just right.

The Tomlinson market was well stocked all day Saturday and a large crowd kept all busy waiting on them. Several of the stand holders had stands outside to handle their surplus. S. PHILADELPHIA. The Risins Eastern Market. The volume of business in cut flowers was larger than ever before at Easter. It was not satisfactory, owing to the extremely warm weather which set in on the Tuesday before Easter ana con- tinued until Saturday. Flowers that were absolutely fresh reached the mar- ket in poor condition in some cases, and others not yet fully developed proved unsatisfactory in the hands of retailers despite great care in packing. All the wholesalers agree that they have never handled so large a quantity of flowers at one time, and the amount of sorting and grading required to get the quality of stock necessary under such trying conditions to fill shipping orders greatly increased their labors. Prices advanced a little on Thursday and Friday, but not nearly so much as anticipated. By Friday afternoon it became evident that the excessive heat was bringing in too large a quantity of flowers for any pos- sible demand, and prices weakened. By Saturday evening it became evident that there would be a large surplus in cer- tain varieties of stock, and in nearly all varieties there were some flowers left over. It is probable that when the re- turns are totaled it will be found to have been the best Easter on record. At present there are so many disappoint- ing features that this is hard to realize. Cut lilies were in heavy demand. The gupply was about equal to requirements. Prices ranged from 12% cents to 15 cents, with all good stock on long stems bringing the latter figure. It was thought that calla lilies would be used in place of Easter lilies when the latter could not be had, but this has been proved an error. The demand appears to be entirely distinct, the buyers being unwilling to accept callas as substi- tutes.

Carnations were in heavy supply; fancy white and Enchantress sold at 6 cents, and occasionally 8 cents, but 4 cents was a good price for all select stock. Great quantities of carnations reached the market in poor condition, owing to the extreme heat, and either went to sleep on the wholesalers' hands or had to be replaced after delivery to the retailers. There was no evidence that this stock had been held over; in most cases it had simply succumbed to the sudden heat wave. Violets were in active demand. It is probable that there were more marketed in this city and shipped out of town than ever before. Lady Campbell was favored by many buyers, while the Hudson river stock, Marie Louise, had also a large following. For the best doubles $1 per hundred was a good price. Singles were not so satisfactory. The stock grown in frames sometimes shaded, but without heat, kept well, but fine flowers from plants that had been forced during the winter collapsed soon after reaching the market, or failed to satisfy the retailers. Tulips were another unsatisfactory item, the single varieties, and even Murillo, flying open so fast that they were useless. Southern daffodils were absolute trash, the shipments received from Wednesday until Friday being thrown away when opened. Those ar- riving on Saturday evening were in bet- ter condition and realized fair prices. Koses were too plentiful. The large crops of Kaiserin forced for Easter proved more than sufficient for all de- mands and many were left unsold. Only a few reached the top prices, 15 cents to 18 cents. Brides and Maids, when of really select quality, brought good prices, but the ordinary grades were rather hard to market at any figure. ^.'7> ^^i^Tvyw]--^ -i • APRIL 4, 1907.

Beauties were in lieavy supply and proved a most satisfactory shipping flower. The demand was barely suffi- cient to absorb all the stock offered, the difficulty being that there were hardly any grades between the fancy specials and the shorts; many more extras and mediums could have been sold. Sweet peas sold splendidly when of fair quality. The retailers positively refused to touch the poor grades, which are plentiful. Cattleyas were scarce. Gardenias about equaled the demand. Valley sold in immense quantities, but the supply exceeded the demand. Some magnificent but held-over stock proved a total loss, the bells falling when it reached the market. White lilac sold exceptionally well when of good quality. Pansies were in strong supply, one large wholesale house alone marketing 12,000 bunches. Greens, especially plumosus, sold well. The supply came in rather late, and toward the end of the week there was a surplus. Business this week has opened well, the demand being fairly good, with prices a shade lower than at Easter, There are many shipping orders and a number of weddings that will consume much choice stock. The organizing of the new city gov- ernment on Monday brought many floral offerings for mayor and council- men, not so many as in former years, when desks were decorated. The cold weather of Monday and Tuesday has checked production, thus helping the market. Easter Plants. It is universally conceded to have been the greatest plant Easter ever ex- perienced, both by the wholesalers and by the retailers. The Eobert Craig Co., which is the largest grower of Easter plants in this city, states that on Friday it had passed the high-water mark of one year ago, and that many plants were sold since. The difficulty experienced in shipping was that the work was crowded into two weeks in- stead of spreading out over a month, as is usual when Easter comes a fort- night later. The retailers agree that it was the greatest plant Easter in their experience. They attribute this largely to the warm weather of last week, which enabled the buyers to shop when they pleased, and encouraged them in the belief that plants could be delivered safely. Many of the retailers believe that this heavy demand for plants affected their sales of cut flowers, which they think were smaller than would have been the case had cooler weather pre- vailed. Little more can be said regard- ing plants than is generally known, ex- cepting that hydrangeas were rather scarce, that rambler roses were less in evidence than in former years, that there was an immense quantity of azaleas marketed, and some of the poorer stock left over, and that there was a heavy demand, especially in the smaller shops,, for tulips, hyacinths, etc., in small pots. The Spring; Exhibition. The spring show of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was held, as stated last week, in Horticultural hall, on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday pre- ceding Easter. The show was well sup- plied, by the gardeners, with exhibits of high quality, in all the classes for flow- ering plants and bulbs and in some classes for the foliage plants. The tulips and hyacinths were prob- ably the best ever seen here, the judges, A. B. Cartledge, Chester Davis, C. Eisele and John Hobson, having a most diffi- cult task to decide the winners. A hurried trip through the hall, under the kindly guidance of John S. Hay, en- abled me to see a few plants and flowers of special interest to florists. A large narcissus, exhibited for the Waterer prizes, is called Glory of Leyden. It somewhat resembles an improved Hors- fieldii. Ehododendron Pink Pearl, flow- ered last year by Jacob Becker, is a va- riety of great merit. Flowers are large^ "■Vi'^"'* 1540 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Aphil 4. iy07.

Cinera- ria stellata, from several growers, was of great size and perfect, in a variety of colors. The Dreer exhibit of labeled foliage plants was of great interest. The best standard varieties and some no\'«lties Aere shown. A highly colored plant of Pandanus Sanderi was a feature. It was probably six feet tall. Tulips and hyacinths, arranged as an American flag, showing the stars and stripes, were offered in competition for the Michell prize. The work was well done, height, condition and arrangement all being duly considerod by both com- petitors. The azalea specimens of immense size were superb. The lilies and spiraeas were ■syell done. \V, A. IManda, South Orange, N. J., sent two promising seedling carnations and some flowers of the Cherokee rose. John E. Haines, South Bethlehem, Pa., sent flowers of his three famous carna- tions. The whole carnation exhibit was excellent. A ]>air of Bhapis flabelliformis were probably the finest specimens of this palm in the coiintry. Secretary Bust tried, as an experi- ment, the free admission of school chil- dren when accompanied with their teach- ers, the society hoping to cultivate the love of flowers in the men and women of tomorrow. Samuel Batchelor, John MeCleary, William Kleinheinz and Joseph Warley were prominent exhibitors. Vest Grove. Sambo, .\lr. Harvey's driver, landed the trio at Brandywine Summit in ample time for the 12:05 for the south. Mr. Curwen made a strong fight to go home, but it was no use. Phil had received a letter from P. J. Lynch inviting the j)arty to visit him. Did you ever get a letter from P. J. Lynch? Xo one who haK not can realize the strength of the magnet. Mr. Lynch 's letter^ breathe cordiality, good fellowship ana kindli- ness in M way most gratifying to the recipient. Unluckily Mr. (^urwen li»d not received this particular letter, or lie would not have demurred. The party reached West Grove at 12:40 p. m. Mr. Lynch had two trot- ters waiting, a pleasant surprise. Phil had the nerve to keep them while mine host at the inn was visited, and then came a lively ride over the turnpike. Edward Parker was in readiness to re- ceive the viBitors and show them the re- sults of his winter propagating, A lit- tle later M. Henry J^yuch appeared to add his welcome and, as the party was leaving one of the houses, a gentle voic« said, * ' This is P. J. Lynch, ' ' and the chief of seventy-one greenhouses. That voice has always its charm, whether it be heard in the role of essayist, in salu- tation on the treasury steps in Washing- ton or raised in song at a banquet. Now it was an interesting talk on the merits of this and that variety of rose, or flowering shrub, or soft-wooded plant. The houses looked well. It was evi- dent the winter's propagation had been uniformly successful. There was evi- dence that even the difficult varieties had smiled on Mr. Parker. Mr. Curwen re- marked on each house how Avell it looked, and when he wearied of saying so, through no fault of the houses, Mr. Parker relieved him. It soon became evident that Mr. Lynch was making this visit serve as a tour of inspection. The quick, comprehensive glance over each house allowed nothing to escape. It was evidently a pleasant duty, each house, clean and neat, smiling back at the owner happily. The Dingee & Conard Co. has today 900,000 young roses ready for distribu- tion.

The Valtie of Taste. Paul Berkowitz, well and favorably known as a member of the firm of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., has unusual oppor- tunities for seeing what our best retail- ers all over the country are doing to educate the flower-loving public. Mr. Berkowitz l>elieves that too many flor- ists relax their efforts to attract and interest possible customers after the holidays are over. He thinks that taste displayed in the arrangement of a shop and its decoration will repay the pro- prietor at any time. Why, Mr. Berko- witz asks, should hampers, crepe paper and other adornments be used at Easter and the plants be allowed to stand about carelessly with pots unwashed at other times? Mr. Berkowitz was much impressed by a retailer in a town in the middle west who, while six miles from the shopping district, has developed an excellent Ijusiness through the neatness and taste displayed in his shop, which looks at all times like a parlor in a Jiome of refinement. Variotss Notes. The Leo Niessen Co. reports an excel- lent demand for wild smilax. Potter & Knott, of Fox Chase, shipped pansies in quantity at Easter. The decorations in the churches were very elaborate. The snow storm April 1 fooled every- body. Mrs. Henry A. Dreer, wife of the former and mother of the present head of the great seed house, died at Pasa- dena, Cal., last week in her eightieth year. She was buried in Woodland cemetery in this city. Many stores were opened in different parts of the city for the sale of plants last week. William J. Young, Jr., made a fine display in the former Chelton Trust Co. office. The fakers are making use of refrig- erator plants. They buy cut flowers when the market is favorable and put them in cold storage until wanted. The plan worked badly lately. It is estimated that one house alone received over 25,000 unsalable southern daffodils recently. They were ruined by lieating in transit. The display made on the east side of the Public Buildings was a feature. Each variety of plant was arranged in a block by itself with lanes dividing the blocks. There was probably enough stock in sight to fill a dozen good sized greenhouses. The curbstone broker, Schaefer, said that the demand, while fair, wa-s not up to his expectations. M. Rice sails for Europe Saturday, April 6, to secure "the newest to be had" in florists' supplies for the com- ing season. Mrs. Rice will accompany him. Mr. Rice promises to let Phil have the first look, and the Review the first news of foreign novelties. Wm. P. Craig has returned from a successful business trip. He states that with him business is far ahead of last season, and also that Nephrolepis Amerpohlii is now showing its true character. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. are sending out some beautiful lace, satin finish bouquet holders of original design. Paul F. Richter, of Henry F. Michell Co., read an excellent paper on bulbs before the florists' Club Tuesday even- ing, April 2. Phil. Lebanon, Pa. — Mish Bros., Lebanon Greenhouses, did an extensive Easter business. Extra teamsters had to be em- ployed to deliver orders. ■ ' 7 ■'*'^7'5'^^3w:viS5r" ' ' T« :>»'i^' • . \£ APBiL 4, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1543 Southern WILD SNILAX NOW RKADY IN QUANTITY.

A great many violets that were shipped were asleep and no good. Boses retailed at from $1.50 to $3 a dozen. There were more carnations than enough to supply the demand and prices went to pieces. Large shipments were received from Chicago. The department stores advertised carnations for 35 cents a dozen and roses at 50 cents a dozen. These department store sales are ruina- tion to any florist that prepares for this busy event and has to compete with such prices. The result was that there were large quantities of cut flowers left over in the stores. The stores that kept open on Sunday did a rushing busi- ness. The heavy rain Saturday after- noon and evening was the cause of many customers not purchasing their sui)ply on that day. I'otted plants, as a rule, took the lead. The florist who had nice plants in bloom for $1 to $1.50 had no trouble in disposing of them, as this price is the most called for. Large baskets of plants for $5 to $10 went slowly. There were not enough palms in the city to supply the demand for the churches. Dutch hyacinths were scarce. The ex- troine warm weather we had caused iniiny to perish, as they could not be kept cool. Various Notes. Arthur Newell says that his trade was much larger than it was last year. Everything sold well. Potted plants at $1 to $1.50 sold best and the customers taking them with them saved the trouble of delivering. He is well pleased with his sales of last week. ('. F.

Mr. Elberfield had eight wagons delivering and one met with an accident in a street car collision, damaging the load of plants and cut flowers to the extent of $177.

CUCUMBEHS. The keeping of plants clean is one of the most troublesome parts of cucumber cultivation now that the weather is dry and warm; as, unless they are kept well sprayed, both red spider and thrips will get a hold and increase very rapidly on account of the tender nature of the foliage. Water can't be used with sufficient force to dislodge the pests when they have once got a good hold, so the idea should be to try and pre- vent them doing so by frequent syring- ings, made just as hard as the plants will stand without injury to the foliage. An occasional spraying of some in- secticide cant also be used with good effect. Any of the numerous extracts of tobacco, diluted according to direc- tions, are good. An emulsion of Whale- oil or Ivory soap is also good, and if a little kerosene is added it makes the mixture more effective. But the latter must be used in very limited quantity or damage may result. Our experience is that it is almost impossible to use any insecticides strong enough to destroy either red spider or thrips, if the plants are badly infested, without injury to the plants themselves, but they certainly do act as a preventive if used in time, as they can be put on sufficiently strong to make the foliage of the plants an unsuitable hibernating place for any of the troublesome pests. A plentiful supply of water will be required by the plants now. If they are allowed to get dry and flaggy in the heat of the day, it will result in the dropping off of a good deal of the fruits in the earlier stages of their de- ENGLISH PotKirown GRAPE VINES Our stock is strongrer and bandgomer than ever this year.

It looks as though the Michigan crops for seeds will be planted this year earlier than in any previous season. The demise of Mrs. Henry A, Dreer, widow of the founder of the Phila- delphia seed house, is recorded in the obituary columns. Mrs. W. K. West-Phillips, owner of a large block of stock in the Phil- lips Seed Co., of Toledo, O., h?is disposed of her holdings to Henry Phillips. Minch Bros., Bridg«ton, N. J., are doing a large trade in seeds. A local paper reports that they recently re- ceived "a whole trainload" of seed potatoes from Maine. J. Charles McCullough, Cincinnati, who was forced to abandon his store in a hurry during the recent flood, is again back in his permanent location, at Wal- nut and Second streets. Thk Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, Ohio, held its annual sweet pea sale March 26. This has become a leading spring feature with this firm and they advertise it largely locally. Wm. Kelway, head of the widely known English seed and plant house of Kelway & Son, has just been elected to represent Langport and district on the Somerset County Council. Frank J. Holy, foreman for the Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis., and Mrs. Helen Stellick, of La Crosse, were married early in March but kept it a secret until a few days ago. E. J. Hohberger, seedsman at Des Moines, la., had a "sweet pea sale" March 28 to 30, offering mixed seed at 5 cents per ounce, and did a big busi- ness by means of advertising in local papers. John Davis, manager of the W. W. Barnard Co. interests at Sturgeon Bay, Wis., is reported as saying that the com- pany will plant as many peas as for- merly and may possibly have an in- creased acreage. The lilies in Bermuda are so late this year that the usual shipments of cut blooms were not made to New York for Easter. It is stated that in ripening, as in blooming, the bulbs will be two to three weeks late this year. It is reported at Sturgeon Bay, Wis., that the pea acreage of the John H. Allan Seed Co. is. to be largely increased this season. Seed peas were distributed to growers in Kewaunee county the last week of March and here also it is re- ported the acreage is to be much in- creased.

THE SEASON IN CONNECTICUT. S. D. Woodruff & Sons, Orange, Conn., write as follows, under date of March 30: ' ' Business is at its rush now. All seed houses and dealers in Connecticut are reporting the greatest rush ever. The particular lines of seeds, such as sweet corn, and a good many sorts of beans, have been moving out remark- ably well of late, so that the anticipated surplus to carry over has been greatly lessened. In fact, many of the largest dealers are already sold up on a good many of the most common varieties of sweet corn and there is always a brisk demand up to nearly June 1. "Onion sets and onions for seed are being set rapidly. The spring has come on all in a rush. Onion bulbs are keep- ing nicely, as well as all roots of all kinds that have thus far been dug out of the pits." STATE OF TRADE. There was a quite general change in the weather March 31, Easter, but what seemed like a cold wave after the heat of the last two weeks of March was only a return to seasonable tem- perature. Anyway, the spring season had gathered too great headway for the rush to be affected to any considerable extent by a few days of cooler weather. Spring is here and planters want their seeds; as usual, they want them quick. The mail-order houses are rushed to the limit; in many cases they say that overtime does not suffice to keep up with demands. The crop shortages are beginning to be felt, for it is not pos- sible to replenish stocks in some lines already running low. Counter trade is keeping the dealers on the jump, and T he Royal Tottenham Nurseries, Ltd.^MR** Managing Director, A. M. C.

No amount of sprajdng has yet enabled us to keep our vines entirely clean of this fungus. I could not see as much benefit on fields sprayed in Tennessee last season, or in Sections farther north.

The Maine Agricultural Experiment Station, at Orono, is now mailing bulle- tin 138, containing analyses of samples of grass and other seeds collected by the inspector and analyzed by the station in 1906. The results of the analyses in- dicate that there was considerable poor grass seed sold in Maine last year. The timothy, for the most part, was tolerably clean and free from injurious weeds. Redtop not only contained large amounts of waste materials and a good deal of lower priced seeds, but in many instances it was loaded with weeds. Much of the clover seed examined, however, proved to be much poorer than the other kind of seeds. Not only did the clover fre- quently contain a long list of weeds, but many samples contained the spores of ergot. This is the second bulletin that has been issued since the law providing for the inspection of seeds sold in Maine was enacted. The bulletin states that no prosecutions were made, on the two- fold ground that in most instances the dealers were ignorant of the require- ments of the law, and that they them- selves were imposed upon when they made their purchases. Notices have been scut to all dealers whose names appear in the Maine Register, calling their attention to the law, and to the fact that sales of bad, unguaranteed seeds must stop. Ottcmwa, Ia. — F.

There was plenty business this Easter for every florist and grower in New- port, and were it not a fact that in many cases lilies were disappointing it would have been a record breaker in profits; but lilies were disappointing and in consequence business was only fairly good in net profits. Hundreds of lilies grown by local men failed to come up to time and what made matters OUR WHOLESALE CATALOGUE (or florists and market gardeners is NOW RKADT and will be sent free to all who ask for It.

When they tried to get them they found out it was too late or there were sent to them plants in such a state that some had to be immediately returned. This shortage of lilies helped hya- cinths and many other things. There were not half enough white hyacinths in pans to supply the demand and blue had to be taken. The white in 6-inch pans sold at $1 each. Eoses were scarce. Brides and Maids sold at $1.50 per dozen. Carnations, also, were scarce, especially Enchantress, which sold rap- idly at .$1.50 per dozen. Violets sold at $2 per hundred. There were a few hybrid perpetual roses in pots, which went all right. Hydrangeas took well. Baby Ramblers and Crimson Ramblers had quick takers at good figures. Genistas in 6-ineh pots went at $1 each. Acacia pubescens in 8-inch pots were good and sold at $4 each; azaleas in 7-inch pots at $1.50 to $2. Lilies brought 25 cents per bloom and callas 25 cents per bloom. Deutzias were good and sold readily; in fact, everything was practically cleared out early Saturday night. ^ VariotM Notes. Spring weather has at last set in and gardeners, florists and nurserymen are at work in earnest. The long winter, with its accompanying severity of weather, unusual in its rigor, has de- layed much important outdoor work; therefore, there will be a rush from now on. A few weeks ago it was thought that the number of outdoor trees and shrubs winter killed would be small, but it seems now that considerable numbers suffered severely. In the past there was but little trouble experienced in winter- ing hardy perpetual roses. This spring we find hundreds of this class dead to the ground, while nearly all the hybrid teas left out all winter are dead down to the ground if not further. Carl and Mrs. Jurgens have just re- turned from their trip to Europe. Gibson Bros, have given up the store on Bellevuo avenue, where they did busi- ness for many years. They have now opened a store on Washington square, where they had a splendid opening Easter week.

SANFHANOSGO. Tlie Market Owing to the continued dark weather flowers are scarcer than they have been at any time during the present year; this, with the fact that we had several weeks of warm weather in February. As a result, the blossoms on both carnations and roses were forced out somewhat be- fore their season. We are now in the center of the reaction and stock is very scarce. The exception is outside bulbous stock and violets. Calla lilies are plen- tiful and can be had as low as $7.50 per thousand. They were shipped to the in- terior in large numbers for Easter deco- rations. * Lilium Harrisii, both from the fact that the bulbs have not proven to be up to the mark and also that there were so few plantings here, have reached the high-water mark. The cut lilies are sell- ing from $1 to $5 per dozen wholesale, while those in pots cost the stores from $6 to $15 per dozen. This shows what a difference in quality is to be had and what a range of prices is enjoyed here.

A CHARTER has been granted to the Abilene Nursery Co., of Abilene, Tex,, capitalized at $10,000. The incorporat- ors are W. D. Batjer, W. A. Minter, Jr., and J. V. Cockrell. A CERTIFICATE of incorporation has been issued to the Apple Growers' Asso- ciation, of Carrollton, Mo., with a cap- ital of $2,000. The incorporators are Emil Heins, J. C. Cooper, S. K. Turner, G. T. Welch, E. E. Estle. J. H. Elem and Vanarsdale Bros., of "Wichita, Kan., have incorporated a com- pany and will plant 75,000 forest trees this spring in Woodward county, Okla- homa. The sale was made by the Wich- ita Nursery, W. F. Schell, proprietor. At Phoenix, Ariz., J. K. Wheat and I. L. Hill have undertaken to establish a nursery. On account of the lateness of the season not much stock will be planted this spring, but several cars of northern trees and shrubs are going into the ground. Dr. W. S. Webb commenced planting white pines and spruces on his extensive Shelburne Farms estate at Burlington, Vt., April 1. About 100 men are em- ployed on the work and many thousands of trees will be set out. He has done this transplanting of the hilltops and other rough land on his big estate on Lake Champlain since 1891, in which year the first 25,000 were set out. With more such public spirited men the re- forestation problem of New England's mountains would soon be solved. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. There are few hardy plants that give more satisfaction to customers than pe- onies. Consequently when patrons are ordering mixed lots of hardy plants, leaving the selection to the seller, the latter should never fail to include pe- onies in the collection. Rhododendron maximum is very ef- fective for grouping and for borders in front of large specimen trees. When in flower they make a pretty show and after the flowers are gone the foliage remains a beautiful rich green all through the year. R. maximum thrives best in a partially shaded situation and when planted in soil containing at least some leaf-mold. Well-rotted manure, lightly forked over, will also help it along. Clematis paniculata is, by all odds, the most satisfactory vine to plant when something that will bloom freely is de- sired. And, although it comes into bloom somewhat late in the season, it is, not- withstanding, ahead of most other things, although some of them come in earlier and continue longer in bloom.

This rose makes a good subject for planting in beds of any desired size. The •wood should be tied down to wires attached to and strung from neat posts placed in the beds, the tops of the posts not more than eighteen inches from the surface. Under favorable conditions the second season after planting the plants tied to these wires will cover the entire surface of the beds, making when in bloom something unique and effective without resulting nakedness. K. R. OUTDOOR ROSES. Kose Dorothy x'erkins is one of the •best varieties for various purposes. It makes a handsome thing when grown in pots and it is also beautiful when in ^bloom on a porch or piazza. Lady Gay much resembles Dorothy Perkins and a purchaser will lose noth- ing if he has to take an equal number of each variety. There are many beautiful varieties of hybrid perpetual roses, but I doubt very much if there is a white to beat Frau Karl Druschki. For outdoor planting, hybrid tea roses were left very much alone because their cultivation entailed the necessity of lift- ing them for winter protection. The great number of exceedingly good va- rieties which have recently come to no- tice or have been introduced, along with a better understanding of their merits as a class, has placed these roses in a light where a little extra work is not grudged. They bloom freely and con- tinuously. Baby Rambler roses on standard stems are now offered. If they are able to survive in that form a bright future is assured for them. For a bedding rose in pink, there is nothing to beat that old favorite, Her- mosa, but it is useless for cutting. Outdoor roses, hybrid perpetuals, hy- brid teas and especially trailing and climbing roses can be produced in this country equal in quality to those im- ported; therefore, there is no reason why American growers should not sup- ply the demand.

Heretofore trees have* been inspected before being taken from the ground and the inspect- ors have been unable to detect root dis- eases accurately. Nurserymen must no- tify the state board of horticulture five days before digging up trees. All nurserymen of the state must take out licen^s before they can carry on a regular nursery business. The licenses vary, costing from $10 to $50, according to their provisions. One of the most important provisions of the new law is that making fumiga- tion of all trees brought into the state obligatory. Heretofore trees brought in from the east, accompanied by a certifi- cate of fumigation, have been allowed to go into Utah nurseries without being touched by local state inspectors. Eail- roads must now notify the state horti- culture agents, as well as the nursery- men to whom trees are consigned, of the arrival of shipments. Fumigation points are to be established about the state for fumigating imported trees. Nurserymen in general are said to be elated over the passage of the new law, claiming that while it will work hard- ships on a few at first it will result in greatly benefiting the nursery business of the state within a comparatively short time. The nursery business of Utah amounted to about $175,000 last year, and this year it is expected it will run well over $250,000. Manetti STOCES, now raady, $8.50 per 1000. ELIZABETH NURSERY CO.

In plants, Dutch hyacinths were in greater demand than ever, sin- gle varieties being the best sellers. Crimson Kamblers went well, and so also did azaleas, but spiraeas and hydrangeas sold only fair. Some geranium in bloom were favorites. Lilies were sold out, being in short supply. The Florists' Club. Tuesday evening, March 26, the club held its regular meeting in its rooms in the Brent building, with President Ste- phens in the chair. The committee on the chrysanthemum show recommended a schedule of prizes, which was ap- proved. Perhaps the most important is- sue the club has ever had to contend with was reported by the committee on children's gardens. As yet the board of education has withheld permission to distribute, as in past years, the penny packets of flower and vegetable seeds to the children of the public schools. With- out this permission the home and school garden moyement cannot go on. Owing to the near approach of Easter, the flo- ral display at this meeting was not so large as usual. The awards were as fol- lows: For a fine specimen Empress of India azalea, I. D. Siebert received twenty points, and K. A. Currie for Hydrangea Otaksa, fifteen points. Our next meeting will be April 9. Various Notes. Underwood Bros., at their Central Market stand, had a large stock of Easter plants, including especially aza- leas, Dutch hyacinths and cinerarias. W. H. Schwartzwalder, a nurseryman of Gallipolis, Ohio, will enter the pub- lic competition and try to secure the contract for furnishing and planting the street trees needed by our city. The Franklin Park Floral Co. had an elaborate Easter display for the general public, Thursday, March 28. Axel C. Pharro Gagge, the landscape architect who recently came here from New York, will be married in that city this week. His bride, Miss Edith Wes- ton-Smith, comes from London, where she has been studying landscape archi- tecture at the Kew Botanic Garden. The Livingston Seed Co. furnished a \-ery attractive display of palms, ferns and other foliage plants for the formal opening of the Livingston dry goods ,ind department stores. Besides the jilants a large quantity of cut stock was used. John Brust has been bringing in some most excellent plants of Primula ob- lonica. Gustave Drobish has for some weeks been disposing of great numbers of well- l)loomed Crimson Kamblers at his mar- ket stand. S. N. Kiner & Son are making an especial push with street tree planting. They furnish and plant maples and pop- lars at from $1.50 to $5 each, accord- ing to size, within the city limits. J. R. Hellenthal made a special effort all Easter week to advertise his firm as large handlers of carnations. His spe- cial offer was 25 cents per dozen. No wonder they were busy. Zero. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. This company has purchased four lots on Seventh avenue and will erect a large plant in addition to the plant in opera- tion on Fifth avenue.

The Monday after Easter found every- one connected with ihe flower or plant business more or less "dopey" and it is hard to get much satisfaction out of anyone, except that "it was a good Easter, all right." The weather was fine, especially for the plantsmen. There was an awful mess of rubbish sent into the market, in the shape of overripe bulb stock, which was usually lost. No doubt most of this stock would have been just right under ordinary cir- cumstances, but five days with the mer- cury in the eighties put the tulips and narcissi entirely to the bad. However, this may teach the growers a lesson they are slow to learn, that they do not need to grow such quantities of that kind of stock for the Pittsburg market, as the people prefer other things to bulb stock at Easter time. Violets also showed the effects of the hot days and -Inost of them came in pretty bad. Nearly all of them were falling more or less and none were really sw€et. Beauties sold cheaper than ever before for Easter and the stock was fine. There were also quantities of very poor lilies and many of these were still on hand after Easter. Callas, which have found ready sale right along, would not move at all. The general report from the whole- salers was that it was the best Easter in the sense of more stock being han- dled, but for less money. The volume of business was greater, the only complaint being the quantity of garbage they were compelled to handle without any hope of being paid for the trouble. The retailers have done well in most cases. They cleaned up nicely and ev- eryone was happy, but tired. The plantsmen sold everything they had and at fair prices, more plants being handled than ever before, everything being cleaned up. Various Notes. Some funny things happen when the boys get tired out. One of the retailers is reported to have called up a whole- saler and while he was giving an order went to sleep. They called him up on his other 'phone for the balance of his order and the man who answered the 'phone found his boss asleep with the receiver at his ear. Mr. McClements, who was confined to bed the first of the week, managed to get out by Thursday and stayed with the boys to the finish. John .Tones, of Schenley park, re- ports having had a hard time keepiijg the bulb stock in good shape for the annual Easter display, but he managed things and was well repaid for his trou- ble, many thousands visiting the con- servatory Sunday.

The Easter trade was in a rush the early part of the week, gradually slack- ening until Saturday and then a steady demand persisted until a late hour. The market was a glut of bulbous flowers, which sold at disappointing prices, and it is feared that many of the growers did not get enough out of them to meet their bills. Some said it was a failure. Thousands of flowers came in from the south and anybody who had a little change hustled to the commission men and back to the market, where they of- fered flowers at such a price that anyone could get a fine bunch for 50 cents. Our own growers could only look on while their stock nearly all faded away. The retail stores looked as though they fared better than the market florists. A good many of them sold out and received far better prices. Many church decora- tions were required and not until a late hour was the work finished. Carnations retailed at from 50 cents to 75 cents a dozen. Violets, 50 cents a hundred and up. Jonquils retailed at ridiculous prices. Rose buds were offered at 50 cents a dozen, while American Beauties sold for from $12 to $18 a dozen. Tulips and hyacinths went at any old price. Lilies sold for 25 cents a bloom. There were a great many ex- tra fine Crimson Ramblers, azaleas and hydrangeas on the market, which sold at good prices. .... VafiottcNoU*. James Glass had one of the prettiest stalls in the market and it did not take him long to have a photograph taken of it. Mr. Hess, Waverly, had a fine lot of azaleas and disposed of nearly all of them. C. B. Hoffman lost over 3,000 violets last week by the hot siin. Shading was of no consequence. iS'. C. Davis, Landsdowne, Md., who was thought to have smallpox and who was quarantineu, is suing the board of health. The private gardeners are patronizing home trade this year far better than the past. Some of the seedsmen- are behind in getting their spring orders out. The counter trade this year is extremely heavy. The grass seed orders this year exceed those of last season. J. L. T.

March was the mildest known in many years, being a veritable April in spring- like mildness. Lilies were the center of action. Every effort was made to get them in, the weather doing its share, with the result that some of them were just right, but others were in too soon, causing considerable waste. One prom- inent grower had to cut his house of blooms on Monday, in order to save it, and a house that was to come in after Easter could not • be hurried along fast enough to get in for pot plants, so he thus straddled Easter. That florist bought his pot plants of lilies for Eas- ter. There were any number of Crimson Ramblers to be had, as no one had diffi- culty in getting them in. A great many were sola, but they did not move as freely as in former years. Azaleas sold well, and cleaned up close. Bulb stock was in good demand, but it was lilies that sold and there was hardly a salable plant of them left in town; even the large dry goods stores had lilies to sell. Cut flowers were plentiful on account of the fine weather. Carnations were cleaned up. Roses were equal to the de- mand, but the supply was great, as they were in full crop. Violets were much called for and, although the cut seemed ample, it was soon exhausted. Lady Campbell violets in pans sold like hot cakes. There was not a florist but did a record-breaking business. While, there was no wrapping required on Saturday, and all had extra delivery wagons, it was not till late Sunday afternoon that de- liveries were all made. It has been a most satisfactory Eas- ter, the volume of business being fully twenty per cent greater than last year. There was no great advance in prices, but the quantities available and sold more than made up. G. F. C. LEBANON, TENN. The business of the Lebanon Floral Co., which was organized here a short time ago, has increased to such an ex- tent that it has become necessary to en- large its capacity. A large tract of land has been purchased and an addi- tional greenhouse is being erected. The greenhouse and gardening will be under the direction of J. Alexison, of Chicago. He will grow a large variety of flowers, ornamental plants, and vegetables. Albany, X. Y. — Michael F. Leonard will shortly open a store on North Broad- way.

N. J. UONG ISLAND CITY. N. Y. TVIN CITffiS. Easter Trade. Easter business was good ; the gen- eral report is that it was tlie best ever experienced. The weather could have been a great deal better, as it turned cold and windy Friday and heavy wrap- " ping of plants was necessary. Com- plaints of frozen plants are general, and practically all in the trade sustained some loss on that account. Lilies were good. Practically all were well sup- plied and disposed of them to good ad- vantage, selling out early. Azaleas sold well and good prices were obtained. Spirfeas likewise were sold in large numbers. The sale on Deutzia gracilis was somewhat disappointing, possibly due to the fact that it has not been grown for Easter trade in this section in previous seasons. Baby Ramblers were slow sale and a number are still on hand. Potted bulbous stock moved about the same as in former seasons. Cut flowers of all kinds sold well on Saturday. Violets were especially in demand and with some of the trade it was difficult to fill orders. Roses were abundant and all had more or less on hand Sunday. Carnations sold nicely, but the stock was fully equal to the de- mand. In most of the stores plants were entirely sold out, while in others they still have enough on hand with which to put up a display. Minneapolis. The Donaldson Co. put up some hand- some window displays last week. They report trade as heav}'. They disposed of everything. Ralph Latham put up a handsome show. He enlarged his place just in time for a large Easter business. O. C. Swanson put up an excellent display and is cleaned out of about everything in plants and cut flowers. St. PauL L. L. May & Co. report trade as fully up to expectations. Their lilies were all sold early Saturday afternoon. The sales on cut flowers were a great sur- prise. Holm & Olson report a good busi- ness. Friday evening they opened with a band concert, which attracted a great many visitors. Chas. F. Vogt reports the heaviest business he ever had. Colberg & Lemke put up a nice line of Easter novelties, for which they ob- ^ tained good figures. Felix. /"; FiNDLAY, O. — E. J. Foster has offered to plant flowers in Cory park providing the city will build walks around it. RoCKFORD, III. — C. W.

A NEW FUEL SAVER. Just after the Toronto convention of the American Carnation Society there were a number of visitors at the estab- lishment of W. J. Palmer & Son, at Lan- caster, N. Y. Not the least interesting of the things seen at the time was a test, then in progress, of a smoke con- sumer which was stated to also be in- stalled under a guarantee of fuel saving. The makers thus describe the apparatus: "This apparatus is designeu for both a fuel saver and smoke consumer. This is accomplished by generating a gas from steam from the boiler, together with distillate, which is a by-product of petroleum, which is introduced into a re- tort back of. the bridge wall of the fire- box. Here it is superheated by the heat from the firebox, which generates a gas under pressure that is led from here directly into the fire over the grates. This gas, becoming ignited, greatly in- creases the heat in the firebox, to the ex- tent that the gases which ordinarily pass up the chimney unburned, and represent a considerable loss of fuel, are ignited, and also the carbon in suspension, which also is not burned in the ordinary fire- box, is burned, thus removing all the carbon in the smoke and turning it into heat. * * In this manner the gases and the suspended carbon in the smoke, that are at present a source of deterioration to the boilers and grates and at the same time represent a considerable loss of fuel, are consumed by the burning of this gas, thus making a saving in the fuel supply as well as doing away with the smoke nuisance. ' ' Below are given the results of tests which were made with one horizontal boiler January 26 and 27, 1907, at Pal- mer & Son's greennouse, at Lancaster, N. Y. The fuel used was bituminous coal, run of mine. The measurements of the boiler are: Grate surface, 16 square feet; heating surface, 732 square feet; shell, 124 square feet; tubes, 614 square feet. Test No. 1 is without the fuel saver; test No. 2 is with the fuel saver. The test was conducted by C. C. Schrott, M. E.: No. 1 No. 2 Hrs. Hrs.

We have an east and west house 20x 100 feet and twelve feet to the ridge, with three raised benches. There are thirteen 2-inch returns supplied by a 4- inch flow. We use a hot water boiler. Upon tearing out the benches and using solid^JaedSy-CQuld we put the returns on each 8i3o ano'sionnect direct with the boiler, converting th^ 4-inch flow into a return by lowering itf Where should be the highest point in the system? We wish to be able to maintain a tempera- ture of 60 degrees in zero weather. O. vy. v>. You can dispense with the elevated benches and arrange the 2-inch returns in coils on the side walls by elevating the single 4-inch flow to near the gable, placing the highest point in the flow at the far end of the house and a liberal fall in the opposite direction in the re- turns. I do not think it advisable to attempt to make the 2-inch pipes act as Tiie John Bavis Go. Halsted, 22d and Union Street CHICAGO, ILL.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 1587 DETROIT. Easter Trade. Everyone enjoyed an exceptionally 1 cavy business. Bain set in the first 1 art of the week and it continued rain- jug, on and off, until Friday noon, when \]ie temperature dropped to just above ide freezing point, 'ihe rain acted as a damper on the business at first, but Sat- urday morning many of the store men could hardly handle the rush. The no- ticeable feature, as in 1906, was the large demand for plants. Lilies, lilacs, rhododendrons, ramblers, azaleas, bulb- ous plants, all went well. A spell of extremely hot weather a week before Easter brought the stock on too fast; therefore many azaleas, tulips, daffodils, etc., were unsalable. "Violets were good, considering the hot spell, and sold better' than for some years. A number of orchid blooms were disposed of. Valley and sweet peas sold well. Koses seemed to be a dead number, ex- cepting Beauties, which went well. Car- nations sold fairly well. Some kept poorly, as a result of pickling. Those florists who had nice assortments of blooming plants to offer no doubt found that Easter, 1907, eclipsed all previous Easter records. Although many made-up baskets were disposed of, the sale nowhere near came up to expectations. Variouf Notes. J. F. Sullivan rented a vacant store adjoining his place and had both stores packed with a fine assortment of plants. Mr. Sullivan is wondering how they ever got along without some extra room at previous Easters. Both Breitmeyer and Schroeter sold such a lot of plants that it was neces- sary to send out a number of loads in moving vans and carriages. The local commission men unite in saying that the year beat all previous records; in fact, it is so far in the lead that it is doubtful if it will be equaled in 1908. H. S. NEW ORLEANS. The Market After an exceptionally mild winter, wlien roses and other flowers have been in abundance all the time, we cannot ex- pect to find a great change around Easter. Still the demand for flowers has been good and large displays of flowers are being made about the city among the florists, an elaborate one be- ing made at the department store of •T. H. Holmes, who is one of the stock- holders of the Metairie Eidge Nursery Co. Business at the markets is still quite fair, prices being rather low in the line of ferns and flowering stuff. Small roses coming from the north are dis- posed of in quantity. They seldom give satisfaction to customers and have only the advantage of being cheap.

Measuring for Frames. After receiving an order for a funeral design the first step is to procure the frame on which to make it. Much con- tusion is caused by not understanding ihe points of measurement as used by wire-men, and before going into details in regard to making up work let us run over the following standard table of Tiieasurements as put down by a large )nanufacturer of wire work: Pillows, from corner "to corner across the top. Harp, lyre, cross, anchor, star and crescent, from top to bottom of the frame. Square and compass, across outer cor- ners of the square. Star, distance from the center of the star tt) a point, multiplied by two. Heart, top of the heart to the lower point. Wreath, wheel, etc., outside diameter. Scroll, lengthwise down the side. Sickle, end to end. (Jates ajar, top point to the bottom of the base. Odd fellows' links, end to end. Bells, across the bottom. In ordering a design on a base, just mention the name and size of the frame desired and add that the same is to be on a stand or base. For instance, if a 24-inch lyre is wanted on a base, just say, "Twenty-four-inch lyre on base." The base is not included. When order- ing a frame for some odd design, al- ways allow for the space the flowers will occupy, so that the finished design will be rightly proportioned. Filling; the Frame With Moss. When you have the frame, the next stop is filling it with moss to hold the flowers. Sphagnum moss is the best for 111 is purpose. As a suitable receptacle in winch to keep the moss, secure a strong box about 24x36 inches. This will just hold a bale of sphagnum after it has been worked over, that is, torn up well, and moistened so it can be worked well into the corners of the frame and will stay where put until tied into place. Before filling the frame the back must lie covered with tinfoil to hold the moss. Place the foil underneath the frame and l)end about one-half inch over the sides to keep it in place. For common work the plain tinfoil is good enough, but for the better grade of work, or more expensive designs green foil is recom- mended, as it improves the appearance <'f a design fully twenty-five per cent. On elaborate wreaths the back should be covered with common ferns or galax leaves fastened over the foil. Some florists use ferns extensively in- stead of foil. These look well provid- ing enough are used. But one objection is that the frame is exposed and the ferns soon wither and shrivel up, show- ing the moss and giving your design a cheap appearance. There are probably as many ways to fill a frame with moss as there are of skinning a cat, but all amount to the same in the end. I have always found it handy and quick to first fill the frame with about as much nicely torn up moss as will bring it to the desired thickness after tying. See that all the corners are • nicely filled. "Work from right to left, pushing the moss into place with the left hand and winding the green thread around the frame with the right hand. Draw the string just tightly enough so that a toothpick can be stuck into the moss with the fingers, and stay in posi- tion. After the frame is filled with moss trim nicely with the shears. For ordinary use have the moss about even with the top of the frame, not two or three inches deep, as this only uses up flowers and, if anything, detracts from the appearance of the finished de- sign. Of course, for wreaths or other or lyre design it adds much to the gen- eral appearance to have many strings close together. After the frame has been mossed, the next step is to cover this well with com- mon ferns, so that when the flowers be- come wilted the moss does not show through. Lay ferns over the design and fasten with a few hairpin-shaped wires. Run a piece of light smilax around the edge of the design to give it a finished appearance. I speak of finishing around the edge with smilax. Many florists leave the common ferns projecting over the edge of the design to serve as a finish, but the ferns wilt before the flowers and then look bad. Ready for the Flowers. Your pillow is now ready for the flow- ers. In pillows, as well as in nearly all design work, first run around the edge of the design with some small flowers for edging, such as Eoman hyacinths stemmed on toothpicks. Pinch the hya- cinth off halfway along the flower, then pinch off the balance of the flower and stem the two pieces together. This saves flowers and at the same time they do not fall out of place when withered. Of course, you can get along without a small flower for edging, but by all means work out those parts of your design first that give it its shape. Then lay out the place for the lettering, making a background for same with some suitable white flow- ers, as carnations, chrysanthemums, or Pillow with a Portion Not Yet Filled In. pieces wliore flowers are to be arranged loosely it is necessary to have the moss several inches deep, so as to hold the flowers well in place. A little good judg- ment will come in handy here. In pillows, the corners are filled first ; then the center is filled in. Give the pillow a nice, rounding shape. 0>verins; Bare Places. One of the many uses to which che- nille is so well adapted is for covering the strings on floral designs; mostly harps, lyres, etc. At times the wire strings of a design are just bronzed, but this looks cheap, in my estimation. Different colors of chenille can be used. Pink is appropriate for a young person, white for old people. On a large harp asters; but not those with yellow cen- ters. Use as few cape flowers in your work as possible, for people want fresh flowers. When the lettering is to run from one corner of the pillow to the other, always commence at the lower left- hand corner and run to the upper right. Carnations, chrysanthemums or asters should be cut short for this purpose, and a toothpick stuck into the calyx of the carnation. In the two latter leave about one-quarter of an inch of the stem on the flower to hold the toothpick. If the stem is cut off right at the flower the pick will not hold well. "When fastening the lettering on al- ways fasten the middle letter of t\w. word or sentence first and then work each way. By following this rule you \S96 The Weekly Florists^ Review* ArniL 11, 1907. cannot help but get the lettering in the center of the place. The Finished Design. Now procure a few callas or Easter lilies and arrange as in the illustration on page 1595, of an unfinished design. Fill in the balance of the space with whatever is on hand, open roses, carna- tions, azalea flowers, etc. It is not neces- sary to pack these in tightly together, but just close enough to cover well, as they serve but for a background. Trim with roses, sweet peas, lily of the valley, hyacinths, etc., always letting the smaller flowers project farthest. A pillow can also be made loosely of one or more varieties of flowers, such as roses and valley, or carnations and sweet peas. When no lettering is called for, just fill in the whole design with flowers as described above, or fill in the piece, inside the edging, solidly with carnations and throw a spray of roses across the center. H. S. BULBS FOR FORCING. [A paper by Paul F. Rlchter, of the Henry F. Mlchell (>>., read before the Florists' Club of riilladelphla, April 2, 1907.] Several months ago one of your en- thusiastic members asked me if I would not give a talk on something that would interest the florists at this meeting. I gave the matter some little thought, and decided that a talk pertaining to bulbs would be about the proper thing, espe- cially at this season of the year, when all of you will remember the different successes and failures that you have had with your bulbous stock. I am speaking now largely from the experience of the seedsman, which, as you probably know, is more or less theory. However, we come in contact with so many different florists, who all grow different things and have different ideas, that by careful observation, cor- respondence and in other ways, we grad- ually learn the many different ways in which bulbs are handled so as to get the best results from them. The Lily the Leader. Probably the most important of our Easter flowering plants is the lily. Some florists force the old type Harrisii ; again you will find some using the multiflorum, which is a Japanese product, as like- wise is the giganteum. The two latter sorts have come into great prominence during the last few years because of the apparent few failures that have occurred with them. Many attribute this to the fact that the bulb of the Japanese lily is not diseased, while that of the Har- risii is more or less diseased. I think you will all agree with mo, that the most important thing for the florists to watch is not to buy small-size bulbs. It has been proven that wherever disease exists, it is in the smaller bulbs, as for some reason or other they gradu- ally seem to outgrow any sickly condi- tions if the bulbs are more mature or aged. • The most profitable sizes of the above mentioned lilies to force are the 7 to 9 size in Harrisii and the 9 to 10 size in multiflorum and giganteum. You all know quite well the charac- teristics of the Harrisii lily, while you do not all, probably, know the character- istics of the multiflorum and the gigan- teum lilies. The former produces a greater abundance of bloom ; in fact, i.s a very free forcer. It is a greeii-stommed jilant, while the Lilium giganteum, which does not force so readily, is a red- stemmed plant, and likewise produces fewer flowers, although these are of a gigantic size. Root the Bulbs Thoroughly. Many failures, particularly with lilies, have been traced to the fact that the bulbs have not been thoroughly rooted. Many of you probably try to get the very first shipments that arrive in the country, pot them up and get them in for Christmas. This is hardly necessary nowadays, as very good cold storage lilies may be had for this purpose, which I will remark on later. Lily bulbs are handled by almost every florist in a different manner, but we have had occasion to observe that those han- dled in the following manner have bloomed most successfully, and have shown the least tendency to loss through disease: In potting the bulb you will find a small layer of good, well-rotted cow manure in the bottom of the pot very advantageous; the bulb may then be placed on this and the pot filled up with soil. After they have been watered thoroughly they should be placed out- doors, say until the first part of October, when the bulbs have been potted in August. A covering of sand, leaves, or some suitable litter on top of the pots, to protect them from the ravages of the Paul F. Richter. sun, will be found of great benefit. When they are brought in, say in Octo- ber, they can be placed under the green- house bench in a temperature of about 60 degrees and left there until there is room on the top, or until they are to be brought into warmer houses to force. This method of treatment will invariably produce strong, thrifty plants, which will give you plenty of bloom. Speaking of Japanese lilies again, I would like to call your attention to some remarks made by one of our florist cus- tomers in Akron, Ohio, who purchased from us 4,000 Lilium giganteum, 9 to 11 size. His remarks are as follows: As Handled at Akron. "Upon arrival of biillis \vc pot them fit once in 4-incli pols, using coarse, soft- coal ashes for drainage in the bottom of the pots, and giving them a soil com- posed of sandy loam and well enriched with about one-third well-rotted horse or cow manure. The pots are placed under a dry bench in either a violet or carna- tion house, soaked down with water very heavily and after two or three days wci cover the pots with two or three inches of ashes. "When Easter is early, as it was this year, we place the lilies on a bench after January 1, giving them a temperature ol' 60 degrees at night and 70 degrees days for about ten days, then 70 degrees; nights and 80 degrees days until buds can all be counted. "During this period we manure-water them regularly once a week with the following liquid: One bushel of fresh cow manure and one 4-inch potful of nitrate of soda to each fifty gallons of water. Spray the foliage once a day or twice a day in clear weather. We try to keep the house moist, otherwise, by spraying the walls and walks. It is also important to never allow the soil to get very dry, and we never feed unless the soil is moist. "When the buds can all be counted easily, we move them into houses where we can get the temperature down gradu- ally, and finally mulch them with either a little sheep manure or bone flour, which will be sufficient food until they are ready for market. "Our experience with lilies, especially Japan, has proven to us that the only way you can get them good is to force them quickly and not check them in growth while the temperature is kept high. As the root action becomes such that they can easily be knocked out of the pots' without disturbing the ball of earth, we shift them either into 5-inch or 6-inch pots, according to strength of the stock. Drainage in the pot is also of great importance when repotting is done. "The 4,000 lilies obtained from you this season are a fine lot indeed. It may be well also to mention that we use Nieoticide for fumigating." Cold Storage Bulbs. The cold storage lilies, which are now coming into great favor, are confined principally to the varieties of longiflorum, multiflorum, and giganteum. The latter variety, however, is much more desirable, as it seems to stand forcing better than the other two sorts. Longiflorum is the next best, while multiflorum is probably the poorest of the lot, as it is somewhat soft, probably due to the fact that in the green state it is the most free forcer of the Japan lilies. To obtain the best results, cold storage bulbs should be potted immediately upon being received by the florist; and we would suggest very much the same method of potting as that applied to the bulbs as they were handled by our florist friend of Akron, Ohio, whom I mentioned bcforo. They should be placed in a dark, cool place; probably under the bench of the potting house would be the best. They should then be left there in a cool tomperaturc as long as possible, until the pots are well filled with root growth. This can be determined sooner or later by examining them. They should then be removed to a greenhouse and started off at a tempera- ture of about 50 degrees to 55 degrees and kept at this temperature until the bud parts, or flowers, set. Then the warmth may be increased to 60 degrees or 65 degrees to 70 degrees. This will draw the plant to its proper height and rapidly develop the buds and flowers at the same time.

Courteay Plttaburgr Oazette-Tlmes. themselves to every florist who grows lilies, if it were only for the one reason that they can be brought into flower in twelve weeks from the time they are potted. As can readily be understood, it requires the space of the greenhouse but a very short time, compared with what is ordinarily required to bring the fresh or green stock of lilies into bloom. The saving is anywhere from two to three months. Then, at the same time, the amount of labor required is of much shorter duration, as is also heat, etc. A large grower of lilies has said that he would not grow any more fresh stock, because he figured out that unless every square foot of his greenhouse brought him in $1 per year it ceased to be profitable, and he says he can make this very easily in lilies when growing cold storage stock. Narcissi and Tulips. I want now to take up your time just a few minutes further, by calling your attention to one or two other good bulbs which are very largely forced. Take, for instance, the Narcissus Paper "White and the Boman hyacinth. There is not much comment necessary, because almost every florist seems to have reasonably good success and we have invariably traced failures in Paper Whites to be princi- pally due to lack of root development. Upon questioning some florists who have reported failures and upon refer- ring to their orders, we find that they have not allowed suflBcient time for the bulbs to really produce a bud; for the fact is that the strength which should have gone into the roots was divided and part went into the flower and part into the roots, and the result was that there was neither root nor flower. It is almost impossible to force these bulbs in six weeks, as some florists suppose. This applies equally well to Eoman hyacinths. And I can only repeat, with emphasis, that it is absolutely necessary to root aJl bulbous stock in a most thor- ough manner. I will now take up the items of tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils. Every little while one hears the report that such a variety of tulip, hyacinth, etc., did not do well. Frequently we find that the florist has not chosen his varieties well; probably has not selected the right ones. Take, for instance, the Pottebakker tulip. While these may be forced successfully at times, still there are years when there will be no bloom at all when they are grown indoors. The Hollanders claim that this is not a forcing tulip, and therefore should not be used for that purpose. There are a number of other sorts which can not be counted upon to bring the best success, such as (Jhrysolora, Duchesse de Parma, and similar varieties. In their catalogs most seedsmen have the forcing tulips marked with an aster- isk, or by some other method, and as the seedsman takes his experience largely from the Hollander, it is well sometimes, if not always, for the florist to be guided largely by this in using these sorts. Now take the item of hyacinths. It seems that the florist will persist in buy- ing Baroness Von Thuyl, which is a handsome white sort. This variety, how- ever, is not at all adapted to forcing, unless in a very slow way, and it cer- tainly should not be used to bring into flower for Easter. It has a tendency to "cut its throat," as the seedsmen claim. In other words, after the bud and stem have developed nicely, down below the foliage, it seems to come to a stand-still, while the stem a little further down sim- ply rots off. The cause of this, I do not believe has ever been determined. Now we will take the item of narcissi. Some florists plant alba plena, odorata, poeticus, and similar kinds, which are wholly undesirable for forcing. There- fore, you can always be assured when there are failures in bulbs, it is some- times the fault of not choosing the right kinds, as well as for other reasons. Other Bulbs for Forcing. There are a few bulbs which I want to call attention to, which are not used as much as they should be used by the florists, that is, for forcing. Take, for instance, the dielytra, or bleeding heart. You have no idea what demand there would be for this by the Koman churches for Easter decorations. It costs very little, requires very little attention to get it into flower and pays as well as any Easter plant one could force. Again, there is the Spanish iris. It reminds one very much of dainty little orchids. Irises may be planted among carnations and will do very well. They bring a handsome price when cut, while the cost of the bulbs is in the neighbor- hood of $3 or $4 per thousand, and they require no attention from the time they are planted until they are cut. The hardy Japanese lilies, such as auratum, album, rubrum, etc., while they can not be brought in very well for Easter, make excellent lilies for selling in pots or for cut flower purposes during the summer. They can be potted up when they arrive from Japan, say in October, and can be brought into flower without a bit of trouble by April or later, as required. I do not know that these are ex- tensively forced now by florists, but I think Eobert Craig, of West Philadel- phia, has had some little experience with them and I believe he still forces them with excellent results. They cost con- siderably less than Harrisii and other Easter lilies, while they probably bring greater results. Do not, however, con- fuse them with Easter lilies, as they must not be planted with the idea of supplying the demand for the latter. In the short talk on the above I have endeavored to bring out the most im- portant points on the subject, as I did not have much time, even to prepare the data, owing to the great rush which ex- ists in the seedsman's business at this time of the year. If there are any questions which any- one would like to ask I will answer them so far as is in my power; but, as stated before, the seedsman's knowledge of bulbs is largely theory, as he does not have the opportunity of always being on the ground to watch everything in a practical manner, as the florist does. PITTSBURG FLOWER LOVERS. Pittsburg has a wide reputation in the trade as a city of flower lovers. From a florist's business point of view the city of steel and smoke is one of the best flower towns in the country. Business there always is good and the florists prosperous. Greenhouse building has gone on at a rapid rate for the last few years, but production never has overtaken demand, so that Pittsburg calls on Philadelphia, Chicago and other markets for large quantities of stock. The extent to which Pittsburgers are flower lovers perhaps will be impressed more clearly upon the average mind by the accompanying illustration than it would be by any array of business sta- tistics. The photograph was taken on the afternoon of Easter and shows the line of people waiting admission to the annual spring display at Phipps con- servatory, at Schenley park. It is esti- mated that there were 2,500 persons in the line at the time this photograph was taken by a staff photographer of the Pittsburg Gazette-Times. The conserva- tories were filled to their capacity at the moment, and as fast as visitors had passed through the houses others were admitted to take their places. It is said the waiting line was of this size for hours during the afternoon. The display at Phipps conservatory is one of the most magnificent made by any public institution in this country. Indeed, its fame has become so great that the railroads run special trains to isn The Weekly Florists^ Review* April 11, 1907. carry the visitors who come into the city for the day. There is probably no other city in the United States where anything like so great public interest has been awakened in any exhibition of blooming plants, and to the benevolence of Henry Phipps the trade in Pittsburg, and in the cities whence Pittsburg draws its supplies, owes a grateful memory, for it could not be otherwise than that such a display, attracting such great num- bers of people, would have a far-reach- ing, stimulating effect upon the florists' business. ROBERT PYLE. Robert Pyle, whose portrait appears in this issue, is president of the Conard & Jones Co., growers of roses, canna lilies and hardy shrubs at West Grove, Pa. Mr. Pyle started his business ca- reer about 1894, as assistant superintend- ent at Swarthmore College, performing the duties of the superintendent for eighteen months while his superior was ill and during his convalescence. When the Conard & Jones Co. was formed in 1897, Mr. Pyle was offered the position of secretary, which he held until chosen president on the death of the late Alfred F. Conard. Mr. Pyle's thorough knowl- edge of every department of the com- pany's rapidly increasing business, com- bined with his broad views and enthu- siasm in his work, qualify him to an unusual degree for his new position.

The present is a suitable time to overhaul those two popular fall and win- ter blooming varieties, Cattleya labiata and C. Trianae, probably the two most useful florists' cattleyas. Even in the smaller cities there is a growing call for orchid flowers and growers who a few years ago turned up their noses at the idea of growing orchids now find it nec- essary and profitable to hang a few around. The all too prevalent idea that orchids are hard subjects to grow and need a specialist to care for them is an exploded fallacy, for many of the finest specimens grown and exhibited are from the hands of men who spent no. course in their culture. Any man who can grow roses, violets or carnations need have no fears about trying his hand at orchids. A large collection may need some fuss- ing over, but a few of the standard sorts will be found very accommodating in their wants and will not resent a little neglect nearly so speedily as other plants. A good compost for cattleyas is one of osmunda fern fiber mixed with a little sphagnum moss. Some growers use leaves, but these are not so good as the fern fiber. Throw away the rougher particles and use squares of the more fibrous material, from which the fine, dusty material has been shaken. Pots, pans or baskets make equally good re- ceptacles. In removing the old plants from their former baskets, cut away all dead or decaying roots and any rotten bulbs; do not use too large pots or bas- kets for them. Drain liberally, filling the pots or pans half full of crocks. Elevate the plants a little above the sur- face of the pots or baskets and be sure they are made firm. Hang in a house where a night temperature of 60 degrees is maintained. Water sparingly until new roots or growths are well advanced, but spray overliead on all bright days. A little shade on the glass will be needed, but a heaxy coating is not de- sirable at any time. Plants so treated keep green but flower poorly. The various orchid importing firms will soon receive their consignments of South American cattleyas. These newly imported plants are in many ways pref- erable to established stock and beginners should try them. On receipt, trim out any bad bulbs, lay on a bench and spray lightly until roots and growths appear; then pot them up, using rather more now arriving from the East Indies. Don- drobes need a warm, moist house while growing, then cooler and drier quarters to ripen their growths. An abundant water supply is needed in summer and syringing overhead on all bright days. Small pans or baskets grow them best and heavy shading is not needed even in summer. D. nobile and D. Wardianuni can be successfully grown in an ordi- nary greenhouse. D. formosum gigan- t6um produces large white flowers al- most equal to cattleyas. D. Phalsenop- sis needs a brisk moist heat to grow well. The two first named dendrobes make verj' salable plants in flower and, being in- expensive, are within the reach of any- one. The other two varieties are suit- able for cutting and are effective in any floral work. A compost of equal parts sphagnum moss and rough peat suits them. Cyclamea. Fall sown plants should now be grow- ing on a light bench in an airy house, where a night temperature of 55 degrees is maintained. These, if not already potted, should be shifted into 3-inch and 4-inch pots, according to their size and strength. Use for compost a slightly stronger mixture than for the first pot- ting: one-half fibrous loam, well broken up but not screened; one-fourth leaf- mold, and the balance well dried and decomposed cow manure. Add a good dash of sand, powdered charcoal and soot and be sure in potting not to bury Robert Pyle. drainage and less compost than in the case of established plants. Dendrobiums. Dcndrobiums met with an excellent sale in some of the large cities last win- ter and spring. The four best florists' varieties are nobile, Wardianum, Phalae- nopsis and formosum giganteum. Im- portations of the two first named are the corms. Keep them just above the soil. Use care in watering after pot- ting. Spray overhead once on all bright days, allowing them to dry before night- fall. A light shade will now be bene- ficial, as the sun is steadily gaining in power. Be sure to give these plants attention now if you want well flowered speci- mens for Christmas trade. A greenhouse IllfP P,J .».5^?y(,^f"il/»'»--r-T? - - Apbil 11, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1599 Easter Display in One of the Houses of John R. Hellenthal, Columbus, O. is the best place for them until the end of June. After that date a frame is much to be preferred. In such frames it is only necessary to use sash during rains. Lath shading while the sun is out, and full exposure to the night dews, produces the finest and stockiest plants. Cannas. If started when recommended, cannas should have made suflScient growth to be placed in pots. If from any pressure of other work the roots are still under the benches, start them without delay and you will get excellent plants within five or six weeks. Cannas make rapid growth and when the pots are fairly well filled with roots they should be re- moved to a cooler and more airy house. Oive them sufficient space to grow in and don't forget that green aphis has a partiality for them. A weekly fumiga- tion will keep them clean, Caladium esculentum may still be started from dormant bulbs and, as it makes rapid growth, it should not be kept too long in a warm house. Nephrolepis. The various forms of nephrolepis, such as Bostoniensis, Scottii, Barrowsii, Ele- gantissima, Whitmani, with others still to come, such as the English todeaoides, always prove the best of sellers among commercial ferns. It is now time to consider the increasing of stock for an- other year. If you have a bench vacated by Easter stock in which you can place four inches of loam in which some sand and leaf-mold is mixed, it will prove an ideal place to put in a quantity of young runner plants, which you will no doubt be able to find hanging from old stock. Put some shade on the glass, but do not make it heavy yet. In front of the bench hang up a canvas to keep sun and air away from the little plants. Spray them over once a day in dull weather and more frequently when it is bright. They will soon start to grow and make excellent plants for next winter. Q)Idframes. Night frosts continue, but there are many plants which can now be trans- ferred to frames where the sashes are tight and mats can be used on cool nights. The earlier bedding geraniums will now do well in these. Carnations will be much better in them, as will vio- let stock in flats. Such annuals as ver- benas, asters, stocks, dianthus, Drum- mond's phlox and nemesias will also do well in these frames. Salvia splendens, nicotianas and others of a more tender nature will still be better where they can have a little fire heat at night. For vegetable plants, such as cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce and tomato, the frames are preferable to the greenhouses. A few inches of warm manure tramped firmly and coated with fine cinders will provide nice, comfortable quarters for any of the plants named. Short Reminders. Bedding geraniums are growing fast and will need additional space from time to time. If any are getting potbound give them a shift. If you cannot do that, feed a little to keep them a good color. Lily of the valley will now start well in close frames and the spikes and foli- age will be heavier in texture than when grown in dark, hot cases. Keep close until the shoots are well drawn up; then give more light and air. Hydrangeas kept over winter are be- coming excited by the warm days. Don't rush these outdoors unless you have means for covering them. They won't stand much frost at their present deli- cate stage. Keep them, however, as light and cool as possible to prevent spindly shoots, which are so easily broken. Tuberoses can be started in flats con- taining a little moss and sand. Place quite close together and later pot oflE into 4-inch or 5-inch pots. It is rather early yet to plant any of these outdoors. See that petunias, lobelias, begonias and other seedlings are potted off before they crowd and spoil each other. Keep pricking off other annuals into flats as time permits. For a late batch you can still sow Salvia splendens, zinnias and other rapid growing tender annuals. Dahlias must not be kept in a too warm house after potting or they soon become drawn and weak. Cuttings rubbed off with a heel will root freely in sand and make splendid plants by the end of May. The sashes before this should be re- moved from daisies, pansies, violas, au- briotias, forget-me-nots and other spring flowering bedding plants. All of these are better planted out as soon as pos- sible. Give them an abundant supply of water. Lawns should now be raked, moss scratched out and new seed scattered on bare spots, then a thorough rolling given. A dressing of sheep manure or some chemical fertilizer, if not already ap- pliod, can still be given. l^runing of hardy roses should now be completed without delay. Planting should also be finished this month. Get a good batch of chrysanthemum cuttings in now for large blooms. It is time they were in, but nice flowers can be had from cuttings inserted up to June 1. Have you a good stock of violet run- ners in flats? If not, lose no time in getting them in. They are better planted out early in May, with the carnations. 1600 The Weekly Florists' Review, Apbil 11, 1907. HELLENTHAL'S DISPLAY. John R. Hellenthal is one of the en- terprising people in the trade at Colum- bus, Ohio. He believes in advertising and always keeps his place in up-to-date shape, so that it will be attractive to visitors. One of the annual features with him is an opening advertised for Palm Sunday. The photograph repro- duced on page 1599 was made that day. A large number of visitors were attracted and the stock was found in first-class condition. The lilies were excellent. There was a batch of splendid hydrangeas and the roses in pots were good. Miscellane- ous blooming stock was shown in con- siderable variety and the cut flower houses were in equally good shape. For instance, from 4,900 carnation plants 9,300 blooms were cut Easter week. Of these 3,000 were Enchantress. The Law- sons gave about 400 bursted blooms and these were advertised for a special sale on Friday and Saturday before Easter, at 25 cents a dozen. Perfect flowers in pink and white sold for 75 cents a dozen and the Enchantress at $1 a dozen. All were cleaned up Saturday night. All the plants were sold, the hydrangeas being in special demand. Plants with ten to fourteen heads of bloom were sold at $5 and $6 each. The Easter trade in Columbus was excellent with every one. Charles M. Jones, who is the grower for Mr. Hellen- thal, says he thinks every one is pleased with the business. COUSINS' CARNATIONS. The photograph reproduced on this page shows the new house of carnations recently added to the plant of Leonard Cousins, Jr., at Concord Junction, Mass., There are grown here some 10,000 plants of the most desirable market kinds. Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson thrives well, as do its sports, Variegated Lawson and White Lawson, all three being done to perfec- tion. Some of the finest Lawson blooms shipped to the Boston market during the season were sent from here. Fair Maid, Queen, J. H. Manley and Harlowarden are also grown in quantity. Pansies are another specialty with Mr. Cousins. They wintered nicely. He has a special strain that is the result of years of careful selection of plants and growing his own seeds from them. CARNATION NOTES.— VEST. JIONS when a earneition bloom is fully devel- oped the fragrance is stronger than when it is just opened. Also, that in a tem- perature of 60 degrees or over the fra- grance is thrown off more freely than in a lower temperature. So it can be readily seen that it would be difficult to obtain the same results in scoring, even with the same variety at different times, unless these conditions were exactly the same. To try to allow for such changes in temperature, etc., would only cause more confusion and trouble; in fact, it could not be done. And there are other conditions, too, that affect fragrance considerably. There are few carnations that are de- void of fragrance; perhaps none that are entirely without it under favorable conditions, though one often hears it remarked at the exhibitions that so few of them are fragrant. The fragrance is there, all right, only it is not thrown off freely because the conditions are unfavorable. That some varieties are more fragrant than others is quite true, Fragrance. At the first glance one would be in- clined to coincide with those who think that fragrance in the carnation should hav,» more attention than has been given it. It is argued that the fragrance is one of the chief charms of the carna- tion and that it ought to come next to color in the scale of judging. That the first assertion is quite true can not be denied, but as to the advisability of placing the importance on that section that is asked by some in scoring a new- variety, I have serious doubt. I do not know what the scale committee's rea- sons were for according to fragrance only five points, but I think that is about as many points as should be al- lowed it. The fact is, the fragrance in a carnation bloom varies too much with other conditions to allow it to cut too much of a figure in the scoring. If it were stable, like color, calyx, form, stem, etc., it would be quite another question. Every carnation grower knows that but the difference is not so great as many imagine, nor so important. Exhibition and Commercial Qasses. It is often asked if it is not time we were dividing our varieties into ex- hibition and commercial classes. I would say emphatically, No! That there are many medium size and extremely free flowering varieties, and also that there are other large, fancy flowered and less floriferous varieties, is well known; also that the former are more profitable than the others for the average grower to grow for the average trade. It is this latter fact that is causing the discussion and demand for a division into two classes. I have repeatedly pointed out these facts in my notes and advised against picking out the largest blooms and stocking up with those varieties to the exclusion of all others for commer- cial growing. But as to making sepa- rate classes for them at the exhibitions, I don't think it at all feasible. Every raiser of new varieties recognizes the fact that the commercial grower is the man who buys the new varieties in quan- tity and that he wants varieties that will produce quantity as well as quality. So you would find no new varieties entered in the large flowered, shy blooming class. Every variety, be it ever so large and fine, would be entered in the com- mercial classes, just as every variety that is put on the market now is "the greatest bloomer ever." The same arguments that obtain in the division of the chrysanthemum into com- mercial and exhibition classes could not be considered in this case at all. They are not parallel. The mum produces one or more blooms to the plant, which open practically at the same time; in fact, you restrict the plant to as few blooms as you think advisable in accordance with the quality desired. Not so with the carnation. You want good blooms and then you want as many as it is pos- sible to get, and to cover most of the year. You might demand of the origi- nator a record of blooms cut, etc. Then another objection is that the aim of the carnation breeders is to ob- literate this division altogether, and as soon as possible. While there will be increase in size of bloom, the aim is to get varieties that produce blooms as large as our fancies of today, and as House of Carnations of Leonard Cousins, Jr., Concord Junction, Mass. Apbil 11, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1601 many to the plant as the smaller flow- ered varieties. This is the proper aim, and should not be discouraged by a di- vision into two classes at this time, when it is less necessary than ever before. We are getting larger, free flowering vari- eties every year and the time is not far distant when we will have as free bloom- ers in all colors as our freest small flow- ered ones, and in quality as good as En- chantress. If it is desired that the medium size varieties should get more chance at the shows, then the best thing to do would be to offer premiums for certain varie- ties, instead of for certain colors, as is mostly done nowadays. Probably that would be a good plan, as it would give the smaller growers an opportunity to compete with some chance of winning out. That would of course be a ques- tion for the local premium committees to consider. A. F. J. Baur. CARNATIONS REGISTERED. James D. Cockroft, Northport, L. I., N.

Albert M. Herr, Sec'y. FISCHER GOES TO CALIFORNIA. For years the freesia has been occupy- ing an increasing share of the attention of Rudolph Fischer, at Great Neck, Long Island, where he originated Purity, the pure white freesia, an almost full size photograph of which is reproduced in this issue. A while ago Mr. Fischer bought land in California, for the grow- ing of freesias in the open, and sent his family there for the winter just ended. He has disposed of the greenhouses in which Purity was originated and devel- oped and will, before May 1, take up his permanent residence in California, at Santa Anita, in Los Angeles county. He intends to go largely into freesia grow- ing, but will confine himself to the one variety, with a few choice seedlings of which he has a number of bulbs and of which he will work up stock. As stock of Purity was planted last season he will at once be able to do business and next year will be in shape to greatly increase the production. NUMBER OF PLANTS FOR BED. I should like to ask what is the sim- plest way to measure a round bed to find out how many plants it will hold. I have four round beds, twenty-two feet across, which I want to plant with gera- niums, and I should like to know how many plants each bed will require, plant- ing them about fourteen inches apart each way. I have also two canna beds, each thirty-one feet across. How many cannas will each bed require, planted twenty inches apart each way? J. T. Take a sheet of paper; describe a- series of circles. In calculating, figure these circles as being at distances of fourteen inches apart. Twice the dis- tance from the center will give the diam- eter of each circle. Multiply this by three; this will give, approximately, the circumference of each circle in feet. Multiply again by twelve, to secure the Freesia Purity, Nearly Full Size of Flower. circumference in inches; then divide by fourteen, to ascertain the number of plants needed. Thus, for the geranium beds the numbers will be 1, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, or a total of 271 plants per bed. TTie outer ring would be only six inches from the edge, which would make it a little too close. In the case of the canna beds, by following the same plan it will be found that these beds will also need the same number of rows, containing the same number of plants, namely, 271. In the latter case the outer row will also be within six inches of the edge. By doing away with one ring in each bed and spacing the others a trifle farther apart — an inch in case of geraniums, and an inch and a half in case of cannas — a considerable saving in plants could be effected. C. COREOPSIS AND GAILLARDIA. If I planted coreopsis and paillardias now, could I have them V9 bloom by June 15 under glass? K. C. C. Coreopsis and gaillardlas, of tfic an- nual varieties, if sown at once i^hould be flowering in June at the time named. The best coreopsis is grandiflora. It, however, is a biennial; the Gaillardia grandiflora, also, does not flower until the second year from seed. C. W. MiSHAWAKA, Ind.— C. L. Powell has been on the sick list. Newburyport, Mass. — E.

Hunt, and copyrighted, bears the allur- ing sub-title, * * About the most profitable thing on earth." It is a talk on fer- tilizers, which belong "on earth," and it will be profitable to many a grower, for if there is any part of the business about which exact knowledge is lacking with the average grower, it is on fer- tilizers. "No man who expects to get a good living out of the ground questions the need or value of fertilization," but to be able to get good results from their use exact knowledge is necessary. * * Dif- ferences of soil, climate, location, busi- ness conditions — all of these decide for you what is the beM thing to do, and the best time to do it. ' ' "While purity is the one virtue you must have, it is not all. Nature may be helped in forming fertilizers, just as you help her by using them. But be sure that help is scientific and practical. You may buy and use almost any fertilizer with excellent results under certain con- ditions, but unless it is absolutely uni- form you never know whether you can produce the same result under the same conditions next time. Purity, as we say, is not everything in a fertilizer; but a fertilizer is nothing if not pure. "It is impossible to prepare a fer- tilizer that will be safe and at the same time valuable for all soils. It is much better to buy the different products, and mix them to fit your requirements, or 1602 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ April 11, 1907. apply separately as the occasion de- mands. Thus undesirable elements need never be applied. This is much truer of greenhouse than of field work, because the greenhouse man always understands the condition and nature of his soils better than the field man. ' ' Two things determine the value of a fertilizer: i^'irst, its purity, or free- dom from adulterants; second, the per- centage it contains of that particular ingredient or element upon which its fertilizing activity depends. ' * The rule is : phosphates for flowers (meaning blooms); nitrates for foliage; potash for structural growth. * ' The original composition of the soil and what is grown upon it determine which element is first exhausted. In the growing of flowers the first element de- pleted is usually phosphoric acid. This must be supplied, as it is practically the stafi: of life. Plants cannot come to maturity in any condition without suf- ficient phosphorus, because it not only feeds and nourishes the plant through its own virtues, but aids the plant in as- imilating or making use of other mineral ingredients in the soil. "Potash influences and develops the woody parts of plant life and is a neces- sary element in giving sufficient stalk and stem for large and vigorous growth. "Nitrogen, which is usually reported in analyses as ammonia, affects the stems and leaves, deepens the color and helps to provide a strong and healthy support for the plant to come to its best maturity upon. But too much ni- trogen in a soil tends to create too rank a growth and retard blooming. On the other hand, nitrogen, unless contained in some other combination, is easily washed away and must be carefully watched for such losses." Hunt has tried to avoid technicalities in order to bring out the practical uses of fertilizers Here is a part of what he says about bone meal: Bone MeaL "Phosphoric acid being the first ele- ment flowers exhaust from the ground, bone meal owes its wonderful nourish- ing and sustaining power to the fact that it contains twenty-three to twenty- six per cent of that element. "Tue rule being: Phosphates for flow- ers (meaning blooms^f course) ; nitrates for foliage. Bone meal contains both in safe, sure proportions for ordinary regular use. ' ' Bone is one of the greatest things for flower soils, because of this: It is not only an immediate result producer, but has a lasting effect. It is a staple fertilizer, because it is a food and an invigorator, not a mere stimulant. "Here is the reason: Twelve per cent of bone meal's phosphoric acid is imme- diately available and soluble in water, giving immediate renewal of life to the ground, while the remaining eleven to fourteen per cent of phosphoric acid becomes slowly available over a period of several months — and as the plant de- mands it. This virtue practically makes it automatic, and does away with nearly all possibility of excessive use." Blood and Bone. ' ' This mixture of pure blood and meat and the best grade of bone flour is preferred by many larger growers to stimulate root action and bring out the best color in the blooms. Its great per- centage of nitrate in the form of am- monia makes it act along the lines of nitrogen for speed, and the large per- centage of phosphoric acid immediately available nourishes the growth similarly to bone flour, but not so lastingly. Blood and bone is practically the only really quick acting fertilizer in which there is combined speed with ss^ety from 'burn- ing. ' But remember, that any quick fertilizer is like medicine: 'A spoonful will cure where a bottleful will kill.' " Pulverized Sheep Manure. ' ' Of all animal manures, sheep ma- nure takes first place as to safety, re- sults and economy in cost and handling. Sheep manure contains more good ele- ments than any animal manure does, and, because of its great concentration, is more desirable. ' ' Mix one-twentieth of sheep manure with ordinary soil for general use; but in mixing the compost in the summer, add about one-sixteenth to secure best results. ' ' Besides its fertilizing qualities, sheep manure makes the soil more porous and more easily pulverized or crumbled. It is very good for top-dressings of any kind." Nitrate of Soda. "This is the great stimulant. But, like whisky for the human being, it has little or no food value in itself, while promoting the food value of other fer- tilizing ingredients. It materially stiff- ens the stem and increases the color of carnations and makes the plant very vig- orous. The rule here is: Nitrates for foliage. On young roses, where size of plant is wanted before flowers, it is a valuable stimulant to both plant and leaf." These are only brief extracts from the wealth of money making information contained in these "Wise Words." All through the booklet, which growers should send for and read, definite direc- tions are given as to the amounts of each kind of fertilizer which are to be used in any given case. The book is worth preserving after reading. VIOLETS AS TRAVELERS. • If you had asked a man, not' so very long ago, about the .shipping/ qualities of the violet, he would in—all proba- bility have said it hadn't any; that it wouldn't travel any distance and be salable. But he didn't know. Nowadays the violet ranks right up with the top-notch shippers. True, its fragrance soon is lost; gives place to odor; but what of that if the flower still will sell at a good price? For sev- eral years the Rhinebeck violet growers have been shipping violets in steadily increasing quantities to the commission men in Chicago — a thousand miles. That is farther from home than any other flower finds a regular and profitable market in quantity. But that isn't all. The Chicago commission men reship the Rhinebeck violets to retailers in other cities; at seasons like Easter they ship them by tens of thousands. Winnipeg, Manitoba, gets its violets in Chicago, not every day, but pretty regularly, so that Rhinebeck violets must still be blue 2,000 miles and four or five days from the greenhouses. In spite of the fact that this Easter most of the violets heated and spoiled on the way to Chicago, still some of them were reshipped and reached Winnipeg in salable condition. What other flower sold in quantity ships better than that? CHRYSANTHEMUM NOTES- WEST. Propagating and Planting. The chrysanthemum grower is now in the midst of the busy propagating sea- son. If he has not already taken steps to provide himself with the stock he will need, he must do so at once. Chrys- anthemums grow very fast at this season and cuttings taken now will root very rapidly, so that care must be taken that they are not neglected or permitted to remain too long in the sand. Be sure to get all your early varieties into the sand at once, if you have not already provided young stock of these sorts. The dwarf varieties will not get too high and should be planted in May to grow the best blooms. However, the chrysanthemum is an ac- commodating plant in many respects, and early as well as late varieties may be propagated in May, if the grower has given thought to how he will handle the stock. The late propagation will be just the kind of stock for the low, flat houses which a great many growers have to use, especially those growers who follow the chrysanthenmm with lettuce. They also will do where the benches are un- usually high, or under any circumstances where there is not the usual amount of headroom required for chrysanthemums. For instance, take Glory of Pacific or Estelle. These will produce a good av- erage flower by planting them in the latter part of June. On such benches it is always best to have the stem a little shorter, topped by a good bloom, than to have the stem too long for the amount of headroom. In the latter case, the neck would be crooked or the flower de- formed, frozen or burned by contact with the glass. Joseph P. Brooks. HOODED SWEET PEAS. The sweet peas with bold standards are preferred by many growers, but some of the best sorts for outdoor culti- vation for cutting are of the hooded form. One of these is an old favorite, says a writer in a British journal. It is Lady Grizel Hamilton, an exquisitely lovely lavender-colored variety that is beloved of the ladies, and is dainty and cool for the decoration of the dinner- table in the summer-time. It is a fine garden variety, branching freely and flowering profusely over a long period under ordinary care, and it continues in bloom almost as long as Countess Spencer. rrn^^T-»^TT^?^^a^^'".i-7v ^' ■-. Apkil. 11, 1007. The Weekly Florists' Review* U03 The other hooded variety I wish to draw special attention to is the new one sent out this season by H. Eckford, of Wem. It is Queen of Spain, a delight- ful variety exhibited by the raiser last year at the early summer shows. Queen of Spain has been variously described; I think bright shell-pink fairly well meets the case, while light coral pink also conveys the shade seen in this beau- tiful sweet pea. The color is one Lib- erty might rave over; the color one thinks of for the ribbon "to tie up her bonnie brown hair. ' ' Anyway, Queen of Spain has come to stay, and though, like Lady Grizel Hamilton, it may not often assist in the winning of silver cups and gold medals, it is certain as anything can be certain in this world that these two varieties will be grown when a number of other novelties of the present year have passed into oblivion. I have seen Queen of Spain growing, and can testify to its good behavior in freedom and robustness. It will soon be in all the lists. CARE OF YOUNG STOCK. Easter being past, there will be plenty of room on the benches and no excuse for crowding the young stock. The dif- ference in quality of stock that has had ample room on the bench from that which has been crowded is easily seen. The stock that has been crowded shows the effects by having lost a percentage of the lower leaves, and as every leaf lost has a weakening effect on the young plant, they usually have a weakly ap- pearance. Overcrowding also allows spider to get in its work, as it is so difficult to dislodge with the syringe. The advantages derived by giving room for a free circulation of air among the plants are many. The foliage dries out more rapidly after syringing and is con- sequently harder and healthier than if allowed to stand a long time wet. Mil- dew has less chance to attack and is much easier checked than would be the case with softer and spongy growth. The soil in the pots, by being ex- posed to the sunlight, dries out quickly and remains sweet longer than if hidden under a mass of foliage. Repotting should be done just as soon as the plants are ready for it, so that they may be able to continue growing without a check, as any check at this stage is liable to produce hard, stunted wood, which invariably makes an un- profitable plant to bench.

New Orleans, read before the Society of Southern Florists, at the New Orleans Convention, February 14 to lO. 1907, continued from the Issues of February 28 and March 7. J Mildew. Mildew is about the most serious en- emy we have to contend with in the south, and it seems that no amount of care in ventilating will prevent its mak- ing its appearance. The end of Sep- tember generally finds it ready for busi- ness. Prevention is better than cure, as nothing so disfigures rose foliage as big blotches of mildew. Try dusting the foliage once a week with sulphur, before it gets a hold, us- ing bellows or some other duster for the operation. "When it attacks the buds and under side of the leaves the situa- tion is serious, requiring heroic treat- ment, and is beyond curing by mere con- tact with the sulphur.

Lunch was eaten neither in Pennsylvania nor in New Jersey (guess where) and, luck being on Phil's side, he met a quartette of the men who have made Dreer's place famous. There were J. D. Eisele, lately returned from his European trip; George A. Strohlein, James T. Clark and John A. Ruppert, who is at Biverton occasionally, although nobody would think so, as he seems to be everywhere else. Taking the houses in order of interest, rather than in sequence, the range that will interest Review readers most at this season was that formerly devoted to azaleas, now com- pletely filled with hardy roses in 5 and 6-inch pots. The houses in this range are open between, the plants being set on the floor. The effect is of a great field of roses just starting into active growth. It is diflBcult to give an idea of numbers or of varieties, there are so many. Perhaps the best way would be to mention an order for 2,500 plants to be used in the rose garden on a large place in the west. Such orders can be readily filled, although the vast majority are for twenty-fives, twelves and sixes. The plants are all budded. Each is labeled with heavy manila paper, found to outlast wood, the name being neatly printed. To any ordinary house the dis- posal of such a vast stock of roses in one season would be an impossibility, but the records show that it has been done nicely each year. The next range in point of interest was devoted chiefly to Cocos Weddel- liana, a large block being lately shifted from 3-inch into 5-inch pots. Review readers may recall that this batch of Cocos described three months ago was an exceptionally fine lot of plants. When Mr. Eisele -returned from Europe one of his first questions to Mr. Strohlein was, "How are the Cocos?" to which Mr. Strohlein replied, with a smile, "Yel- low," meaning it, of course, in a Pick- wickian sense, or possibly he saw visions of the yellow stream that these Cocos would draw to Biverton. They are as fine a lot of plants as one could wish to see, and when finished in 5-inch pots should be well worth seeing. A point of interest with regard to these Cocos is that the soil, which it has always been supposed should be rather loosely packed, has been made as firm as the pots them- selves, and in it the roots appear entirely at home. Phoenix Boebelenii has done so well that blocks of it are being grown to succeed the present shapely plants in the salable sizes. There is one nice lot in thumb pots and another just showing above the seed bed. Variotit Notes. Dr. Naaman H.

Quite a few weddings, recep- tions and dinners are on for this week, and those who are fortunate enough to have the orders will be likely to put in a busy week with both plant decora- tions and cut flowers. Stock at the wholesale houses Monday was still as plentiful as the week pre- vious. Roses, especially, are much in oversupply in all. grades and varieties. Beauties are selling cheap, extra long specials as low as $2 to $3 per dozen. The stock in Richmond, Ivory, Killar- ney. Bride and Maid is large, of good quality, and to quote prices correctly is a hard task. Carnations have also come down in price in 1,000 lots. Plenty of these are in the market, and unless sold cheap a great many find their way to the dump. The quality is fine, especially Nelson Fisher, Enchantress, Lady Bountiful and Prosperity. The average price in small lots is $2. Violets are becoming scarce and are practically over for this season. Ro- mans, Paper Whites and freesias are becoming scarce, but Dutch hyacinths, tulips, valley and callas are still plenti- ful. Sweet peas are none too many and there is quite a demand for them. Com- mon ferns are up in price; so is smilax. Other greens are equal to all demands. VariotM Notes. Prof. William Trelease, of the Mis- souri Botanic Garden, has returned from the West Indies and brought quite a number of new and valuable plants. Superintendent H. C.

The beds were a great sight. Fred W. Pape, florist and late super- intendent of parks, has the sympathy of the trade in the loss of his wife, who •lied on Sunday, April 7, after a short illness. Mr. Pape has many friends in the trade who attended the funeral Tues- day. At Union Market all the plant stands are doing a rushing business and some extra fine quality of stock is seen. All report sales ahead of this time last year. Ed Gerlach, manager for Kuehn, noted for his winning ways and for his ability to talk to several customers at one time without losing his smile, says he had an easy time this Easter, as stock was plentiful and trade easy to handle. The Bentzen Floral Co. has booked a number of large orders for spring plant- ing, which will keep the force busy un- til late in May. The retail store on Grand avenue had all the business that could be handled during the Easter rush. The trustees of the Florists' Club, Messrs. Smith, Beyer and Frank Weber, held a meeting at Mr. Beyer's place April 4 and completed all arrangements for the club's rose show this week. The matter as to the club's celebration of its twentieth anniversary was laid over until after this month's club meeting. A banquet or smoker is now contem- plated, with a view of having as many of the ex-presidents present as are in the city at that time. J. J. Bexeke. NET YORK. The Market There is a blizzard up the state and seven inches of snow fell Monday. In New York there must have been seven inches of rain. The beautiful weather of Easter week was most unseasonable, though universally wolconio. Tliis work opened cold and cheerless and its influ- ence in the flower market is plainly evi- dent. Prices have fallen. The quota- tions of last week were Easter prices and rot intended for the days after Easter Sunday. Last week prices fell to half the quoted rates before the week was ended. The decline must be about over for April. Spring weddings should steady the market, for there are book- ings ahead of all flower seasons. As a sample of their influence and an indica- tion of the quantity a single wedding will absorb, Wadley & Smythe have a house and church decoration this week that uses 3,000 lilies and over 8,000 val- ley, in addition to enormous quantities of spring flowers in yellow, the bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets being of Franz Deegen roses. This is but one of a dozen big weddings this week and next, and few of the retailers are with- out a most encouraging list of these re- munerative functions, reaching even into .June. American Beauties are selling from 20 cents down and only the very best com- mand the high figure. Brides and Maids are selling no higher than fi cents for the finest and No. 2 are down to $10 a thousand.

Carnations have retrograded with the roses, even the novelties selling be- low expectations. Rhinebeck shipped 2,356 boxes of vio- lets Easter week. One hundred and fif- teen growers participated in the distri- bution. Nearly six million violets were forwarded to the wholesale dealers of New York and Ohicago. Since Easter large shipments continue and prices re- main at 40 cents for the selects, down to $1.50 a thousand for the surplus. Callas and Harrisii are selling at 6 cents and are overabundant. All bulb- ous stock is at the lowest figures of the year and large shipments arrive daily from the south. Qub Meeting. Ladies' night, April 6, was, as usual, a great success. Nearly 200 members and their lady friends were present and the evening was a most enjoyable one. This was the regular monthly meeting of the club. President Totty was in the chair. The rose exhibits did not put in an appearance and the only flowers dis- played were fifteen choice varieties of Anton Zvolanek's sweet peas. Walter Sheridan, for the dinner committee, re- ported a satisfactory surplus over all ex- penses and the outing committee read a list of the club's members, whose combined subscriptions for prizes and advertisements already totals nearly $300, with over 200 members yet to hear from. The boat Isabel and Wetzel's Grove have been secured and the date July 2 decided upon, after the closing of the schools. CUT FLOWER BOXES WATERPROOF. Corner I.ock Style.

Mr. Stewart told of the society's work during the two years he was its secretary and declared it was the commercial men who had saved it, and that the friendliness manifested by the society people had been ephemeral. Mr. Guttman spoke of the delightful recep- tion accorded the society by President Roosevelt. The entertainment of the evening was arranged by the committee, with J. B. Nugent as chairman and W. Bickards and R. M. Schultz as lieutenants, and their efforts in all departments were most creditable. A splendid collation was served the ladies at the close of the musical program.

The de- mand this year is likely to far exceed the supply. The wholesale colony on Twenty-eighth street is likely to receive some notable additions shortly. The fact is, if facili- ties were greater the entire wholesale contingent would center there. Desirable stores are scarce and ground floor privi- leges are all absorbed. Charles Millang occupied several stores for Easter and cleared them time and again, so great was the demand for plants, both in and out of the city. He still has the up-town market bee buzz- ing in his bonnet and has a good place for the venture if he can induce a suflS- cient number of growers to make the ex- periment with him.

The terrace makes a place look smaller, it is hard to make and to keep in order, the gra.ss is difficult to cut with a lawn-mower, and unless the sod is dense the upper part tends to wash off with the rains and the foot to fill in. "If it is necessary to terrace a lawn to hold it, the terrace would better be at one side rather than in the middle. In that case it is possible to obtain a good breadth of lawn. If the terrace is at the outer side of the lawn, next the street, a perpendicular masonry retain- ing wall may be constructed. If on the inner side it may be placed close to the building and made to appear as part of the architecture, practically the base of the building. "Terraces look best near buildings with many strong horizontal lines. Thev do not lend themselves so well to a build ings in the Gothic style. The genera' tendency is to make too many terraces.

The Market Trade since Easter has, as usual after a holiday, been quiet and stock has been coming in plentifully. Carnations are quoted as low as $10 per thousand, with few asking for quantities. Easter trade was a record-breaker in point of volume of business, and with the large supply it left it up to the pub- lie to make the business from the re- tailers' standpoint; and they made good. A noticeable feature was the large sup- ply of good flowering plants. These found ready sale and it is quite notice- able that at Easter plants are rapidly displacing cut flowers in public favor. It is up to the cut flower growers to do something to hold the advantage they have had for years. There is a strong feeling that the day for raising the prices at Easter is at an end and that cut flower growers will have to maintain the same price at Easter as is in force be- fore. With plants this is the case, and retailers claim that is why plants are so much more salable. Dunlop's had a fine line of plants of all kinds from their own conservatories. Simmons' store was a bower of beauty, with all the new electric fixtures going. His lilies and azaleas were particularly fine. Tidy & Son, as usual, had a store and conservatory full of the best selec- tion from surrounding greenhouses, to- gether with some fine imported stock. Jennings had an immense stock of lilies and sold out early in the rush Friday. He had to do some tall hustling to re- stock. H. G. Dillemuth had his new wagon out for the Easter rush and this helped to handle the big trade he was favored with. The advantage of a con- servatory with a rear entrance makes a great difference in handling a rush such as he had on Saturday. Among the wholesalers, lilies were sold out by Thursday and, in fact, many were sold out as early as Tuesday. Mil- ler & Sons' immense stock held out until Thursday; then he had to refuse many orders. The shipping trade was heavy in both plants and cut flowers. D. J. Sinclair imported a large shipment of fancy Beauties from the States, which arrived in splendid condition. The greatest seller in the cut flower line was violets and it is certain To- ronto never saw so many as at Easter. Everything sold up well but some of the large wholesalers took stage fright Thursday and pulled the price down. Findley, of Brampton, must have picked an enormous crop, if his Toronto customers can be relied on, as they all claim to have handled great quantities. D.J. OLEAN, N. Y. Llewellyn, of whom mention was made last week as having moved to 213 North Union street, now has the finest store and best location of any one in the florists' line in this city. He reports a large Easter trade; in fact, more than double that of 1906, having sold all the high- priced stock. D. B. Herron also reports a fine Easter trade, with bright prospects for spring business. F. H. Johnson, who has been confined to the house for several weeks, is out again and reports a good Easter trade.

Mention The Review when you write. following descriptions of varieties, with hints as to their special uses, taken from a bulletin of the Maryland Experiment Station, where a scientific study of the tomato has been made: The Greater Baltimore is a handsome fruit of the same general type and color as the Stone, the so-called "red" or canning tomato. This seems to be a valuable addition to the list of varieties. The Stone is too well known to need a description here. Chalk's Early Jewel is a good variety for market or home use. It is fairly early and will yield larger crops and over a longer period than will Sparks ' Earliana. Livingston's Globe is a fine, meaty to- mato. It is globe shaped and on this account is considered desirable for slic- ing for the table. Salzer's Bountiful is a new and pro- lific variety, but is poor in color, being a yellowish red. Success is the same general type as Stone, Paragon, etc. Truckers' Favorite is a purple tomato suitable for market, although usually a little more irregular in shape than the Beauty. Matchless is an old standard variety suitable for market or canning purposes. The Five Million Dollar is of the same type as the Stone and has given heavy yields in the two years just past.

Sparks' Earliana is one of the earli- est of the smooth, regular tomatoes, but it needs rich soil and close planting in order to get large crops for market or home use. Wood's Improved Ponderosa is much like the old Ponderosa with large fruit. Livingston's Beauty is the old stand- ard purple variety and is an excellent market sort where this color is in de- mand. The Acme is similar to Beauty, but is earlier and not quite so large. Burpee's Earliest Pink is similar to Acme or Beauty in color, biit is very early. It is too rough for a good mar- ket sort.

The 25th annual meeting: w HI be held at New York City, June, 1907 There is a bill regulating the sale of agricultural seeds pending in the Michi- gan legislature. It is reported that C. C. Morse & Co. will shortly add to the plant at Glen Echo, Cal., recently acquired from the Cox Seed Co. T, H. Hopkins, manager of the Stur- geon Bay interests of the John H. Allan Seed Co., has been in the northern part of Michigan for ten days. It looks as though this season's prices on onion seed may appear quite mod- erate by comparison with what will be asked for onion seed next December. The affairs of the Hawkeye Seed Co. were wound up April 2 by A. A. Berry, of Clarinda, the assignee. The matter has been dragging for the several years since the company went out of business. Since English seedsmen now are pro- hibited by law from paying commis- sions to gardeners, Continental houses are circularizing the English gardeners with offers of liberal commissions on all orders. It is reported that a corporation has been formed with $300,000 capital stock to establish a seed growing farm in the vicinity of Terrell, Tex. The in- formation is given that this is the first attempt, on a large scale, to grow seeds in the south, but the identity of the interested parties is not stated. The Board of Education at Columbus, O., has refused the application of the Columbus Florists' Club for permis- sion to sell the school children packets of flower and vegetable seeds at a penny each, and instead instructed the clerk to communicate with the congress- man as to procuring free seeds for the children from the congressional dis- tribution. CALIFORNIA CROP LOSSES. In reply to a request for the latest in- formation as to the losses from flood sus- tained by California seed growers, C. C. Morse & Co. telegraphed April 10: * ' The onion crop is badly damaged ; probably one-half of the total California acreage has been lost. Other crops are not seriously damaged, but were planted very late." CALIFORNIA CONDITIONS BAD. A large grower of seeds in the Santa Clara valley of California said, in a business letter, under date of April 1 : * * About the condition of the crops, at present there is little to write. We would really prefer to wait until some time when we can report something good. At present there is only one word to describe the whole situation, from the standpoint of the California grower, and that word is 'bad.* The writer has been kept pretty much at home, trying to take advantage of every day of fair weather, but reliable reports tell of the entire loss of the growing [ Burpee's Seeds Grow ] Mention The Review when you write.

The smaller growers have all lost some- thing, too, and the season is so bad that replanting with other crops is largely out of the question. "And with the bad season of 1906, followed by the present record-breaker for trouble, we still do not dare ask a fair price for our seed because when we do we are met with scorn by the eastern dealers. "I note in the last issue of the Review that Morse has absorbed the interests of Cox. The logic of events points strongly to the concentration of the growing in few hands, and when that happens the seedsmen will learn what it costs to grow seeds, and the knowledge "will be a revelation to them."

Although all sorts of or- ganizations last winter passed resolu- tions condemning the free seed distri- bution, and the agricultural and rural press was almost a unit in opposing the appropriation, from many points of the country are coming evidences either that the plain people really value the gov- ernment seeds or that a movement has been set on foot to counteract the cam- paign of the seedsmen.

Congress- man E. S. Holliday, of Indiana, sent seeds in this way to the Eockville Re- publican. The editor says: Contrary to expectations, the free government garden seeds went like the proverbial "hot cakes." Announcement was made of their dis- tribution, on Wednesday. By 4 o'clock of the succeeding Saturday the supply was exhausted, much to our surprise and regret, too, for there were many other calls. The editor wrote the congressman for a second supply and was told that his quota was exhausted, but that the con- gressman would take pleasure in trying to get an extra allowance from the De- partment of Agriculture and would forward promptly if secured. "Where- upon the editor printed this paragraph: If Mr. Holliday Is successful In securing an- other allowance we will at once mall a pack- age to the addresses on hand.

Samples submitted by farmers and others are tested for mechanical purity and germination. Public announcements are made of prevalent adulterations and general con- ditions of poor quality existing in the seed trade. The proper conditions for storage under varying climatic condi- tions are being worked out. The deterioration of grain in transit is being studied with a view to improving the present conditions. In cooperation with other offices of the bureau, clover and alfalfa seed is being produced which is adapted to particular localities. Edgar Brown is botanist in charge. Assisting in the work are Joseph W. T. Duvel, assistant in charge of seed vitality in- vestigations; F. H. Hillman, assistant botanist in charge of seed studies; W. L. Goss, scientific assistant." BEANS AS COMMERQAL CROP. The Department of Agriculture will soon issue Farmers' Bulletin No. 289, "Beans," prepared by L. C. Corbett, horticulturist, bureau of plant industry, in this bulletin types of beans are dis- cussed under broad beans, kidney beans, Lima beans, Dolicbos beans, soja beans, scarlet runner beans, and velvet beans. These are divided into two classes, namely, field and garden beans. Field beans are discussed under the following subjects: Preparation of the soil; planting, which includes the quantity of seed per acre, as well as depth of planting; culture; harvesting, which in- cludes a description of the commercial methods of harvesting the crop by ma- chinery; thrashing, with a brief de- scription of the types of machines used for this purpose, together with a brief description of the subject of cleaning and grading the product for market.

Garden beans are discussed under type of soils to which they are adapted, fer- tilizers used in connection with the pro- duction of this crop, cultivation, har- vesting, yield, enemies, and diseases. The whole matter is a brief summary of the commercial industries as they now exist in the United States of grow- ing dry beans and garden or string beans. Maps accompany the text, show- ing the distribution of the two crops, and there are illustrations showing typical fields of beans grown for dried beans as well as those grown for string beans, together with character of im- plements used in handling these crops. Copies of the bulletin may be obtained upon application to senators, repre- sentatives, and delegates in congress, or to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. BROCTON, MASS. W. W. Hathaway reports Easter trade as being much ahead of 1906. Pot plants were most in demand. He could have sold fully 100 pots more lilies, al- though his stock was much heavier than a year ago. After lilies, azaleas, rambler roses, bulbous stock, hybrid roses, spi- raeas, etc., all sold well. In cut flowers, trade was slower. Violets sold well, car- nations moderately so. Beauty, Rich- mond, Killarney and Wellesley roses were in fair request. Bulbous stock had little call. A plant and cut flower department has been opened in the department store of James Edgar Co. For the store open- ing W. W. Hathaway decorated, using over 300 plants. F. J. Dodd has engaged as manager with H. F. Crawford, of Montello. At present carnations are chiefly grown, but more space will now be devoted to roses. The various dahlia specialists here and in West Bridgewater are experiencing an active demand for plants and it is evi- dent that the dahlia has not yet reached the height of its popularity. W. N. C.

McMiNNViLLE, Ore. — Easter trade here was all that could be desired. S. H. Maris says that all his stock of flowers and plants was sold out by noon the day before and a house 28x80 of lettuce looked as though a cyclone had gone through it. PORTLAND, ORE. Easter Trade. Most people are glad when Easter ar- rives, and tne florists are thankful when it is past. After a brief interview with the retailers, we are satisfied that the predictions made in our last notes have been verified, it is true that hundreds of plants were not far enough advanced to be offered for sale, and yet there never was as fine a showing at one time, and we believe all demands were met. In this grand collection we will men- tion the dwarf crabapple, new here; rhododendron, spiraja, azalea, cyclamen, hyacinth, lily of the valley and the ever- popular Easter lily, all grown to a high state of perfection and trimmed in the newest toggery. The window displays showed good artistic ability and were much talked of. The general run of cut flowers was ample and excellent and we have not been favored with such clean stock for years. Prices did not frighten custom- ers and not much remained in this de- partment but a mixed lot of bulbous stuff, most of which was grown outside, but brought into bloom by the use of incubators. Easter lilies, both cut and growing, took precedence over everything else. We are too tired to go further into detail, and for any other information ask Arnold Kingier, who made us a brief call during the rush, when he returned from the Sound. He congratulated us on our great display and delightful spring weather. H. ^J. M. SAN FSANOSOO. The Market The weather has given us a variety of changes during the last week. At the present moment it is raining, and at this hour yesterday the wind was blow- ing a hurricane and the dust flying in tremendous clouds. We are apparently having our March weather, and it is put- ting a damper on business of all kinds. Flowers are plentiful enough, with the exception of Lilium Harrisii, and the prices are gradually getting a little lower than they have been. Good Amer- ican Beauties are being shown, as well as fancy stock of Brides and Maids, and, although rather late in the game, they are always welcome. Carnations are to be had in any quan- tity, and the quality is of the best. Sweet peas have had a hard tussle with the superabundance of moisture with which we have been blessed for the last two months, and, in turn with all kinds of hardy outdoor stock, have up to this time been in short supply. Violets are slowly nearing the end of their season, and with the advent of a few warm days they will be of little ac- count. Valley is in big supply and True Asparagus Plumosus Seed Raised under lath in Califortiia, is so superior in YitalUy as to be beyond compaiison.

Easter is now a thing of the past, and it is a good time to look back and see what has taken place and whether it was up to the standard of former years or not.

The florists have not been much behind in the way of reestablishing themselves and at the present time all the large firms that were in business at the time of the fire are again represented, and probably about one-half of the smaller stores have found locations again. Although the town is probably 50,000 less in popula- tion than it was a year ago, the love for flowers that is everywhere predomi- nant here has tended to the advantage of the trade, and more flowers were used in proportion this season than ever be- fore. In conversation and from observations made during the last few weeks, the fact that there would be a short supply of Easter stock, and more particularly Easter lilies, was everywhere apparent and most of the stock shown was neither up to form nor color. Here was a great mistake made by the growers, and the small receipts from their sales where the demand was so great should be a good lesson in teaching them that such a con- dition should not be allowed to happen again. A year ago all the eastern bulb men reported heavy sales to the growers, and that there would have been extensive plantings and heavy cuttings there could be no doubt. But, to use the common expression, they got "cold feet," and a majority of the orders were counter- w^^^ipffP^HW iiM » "IP'", ■ V I t'T^.^rr^^yym-rw^^'^^ ■ -™*^p-~ <'\ ,» Apbil 11, 1907.

Always Mention tha fB-HS *JB^7£ff^ When Writing AdverUaers manded and the result was an inade- quate supply of Easter lilies. Even the growers who planted a few to see how affairs would go seemed to take care of them in a haphazard way, and what few of them had the nerve to flower at all seemed to do so under protest. In other lines of stock there was a fair supply, with an equally fair de- mand at prices slightly higher than those of last year. Azaleas, spiraeas, wistarias, double flowering cherries and almonds in pots sold readily at good figures, but the public were not to be satisfied with anything except the Easter lilies, and such florists as had a supply sold them at fancy prices. A few growers were patriotic and far- sighted enough to realize early in the season that this Easter should be no dif- ferent from that of one year ago. They planted the usual amounts, and great were their efforts in dividing up a few hundred lilies among a dozen or more stores when each and every retailer was willing and even anxious to purchase the entire lot. From present indications we are to have a good late spring trade, and al- though the weather has been against the full enjoyment of rushing business, I see nothing ahead but heavy demands for everything good that can be grown.

The 32d annual convention will be held at De- troit, Mich., June, 1907. The death of Abram De Mallie, Roch- ester, N. Y., aged 85 years, is recorded in the obituary column this week. The remains of Thomas Douglas, of R. Douglas' Sons, Waukegan, 111., who died at Los Angeles, March 26, were interred at Waukegan April 7. The W. C. Haviland nursery at Fort Dodge, la., suffered considerable damage April 2 as the result of fire started by sparks from a passing locomotive. The season in the middle west has been prolonged by a week of weather cooler than normal at this sea^ion of the year; but all early trees, shrubs and herbaceous stock has started into growth. Ed Silva, state horticultural inspector for Colorado, says he is receiving much encouragement from nurserymen. Even the doubting Thomases, he says, are be- ing convinced that a certificate of in- spection means money in their pockets. Wm. a. Peterson, Chicago, says he believes that as public appreciation of the peony grows, the common sorts will become cheap indeed, but that it will be possible to sell the finer varieties in in- creasing numbers and at profitable prices. There is nothing the average editor of a daily paper likes better than a joke on George Ade, the Indiana joker.

The spring is the best time to plant young stock of this class of plants and pot-grown stock is superior in many ways to that lifted from the open ground. For that reason many growers grow herbaceous plants up to the selling size in pots. In pots they are also much easier handled and shipped than when from the open ground. On private estates, borders of her- baceous plants of mixed varieties and species are appropriate and sometimes a necessity; but when such is the case, care should be taken in selecting the stock for planting, that in the collection there will be material that will insure an unbroken effect throughout the sea- son, a feat quite within the range of possibility. On commercial places it is much the better plan to plant a number of each species and variety in a row or rows by itself, for convenience of harvesting the flowers and other evident reasons. The fall of the year is the best time to divide and move old clumps of her- baceous plants. All tall growing varie- ties should be staked and kept neatly tied. B. R. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. Wistarias may be called old-fashioned, but they are useful, nevertheless, and there seems to be now a growing demand for them. Wistaria Chinensis, the com- mon blue variety, makes a great display. In May it is invaluable for covering large and grotesque tree trunks and like- wise is useful for covering portions of rustic summer houses and the like. W. Chinensis alba is a white-flowering form of the former variety and is similar in habit of growth and endurance. It is very effective when grown together with the blue variety. W. multijuga bears flowers in panicles three feet long about the end of May. In color the flowers are deep purple and they hang from all over the vine. The pink dogwood, Cornus florida rubra, is a beautiful, early, spring-flower- ing shrub. It should be planted early in the spring.

Ampelopsis Veitchii is unsurpassed in its capabilities for efficient service when something is wanted to do the work re- quired of it in a short time; and, not only that, but in summer it equals in beauty of foliage any other vine in culti- vation. In the fall when the leaves change to colors innumerable, it is pleas- ing in the extreme. E. K. TAFT ON THE SEEDLESS APPLE. The following is an extract from a ' ' warning " by L. K. Taf t, of the Mich- igan Agricultural College, addressed to the farmers of this state but of interest to all nurserymen : "From various sources it has come to me that the agents of the Michigan Seedless Apple Co. (so-called) have been taking orders for the Spencer Seedless apple and that many farmers and fruit growers have agreed to take one or more trees at $2 each. They have been led to do this by the representation that the fruit in addition to being large in size handsome in color, fine of texture and of delicious flavor is coreless, seedless and free from the attack of the codling moth and frosts. I have been watching this variety for the last three years and am convinced that it is in every way in- ferior to our common varieties which can be obtained for 10 to 15 cents each.

This has not been done, either by the Michigan Seedless Apple Co. or by any of its agents, and if any of them deliver the trees for which orders have been taken, they will be subject to prosecution, with a fine or imprisonment as a penalty. Complaint under the law may be made either to the prosecuting attorney of any county or to the state board of agriculture, Lansing, Michigan. ' ' MORE BLUE EVERGREENS. The beautiful blue-grey tint which dis- tinguishes Roster's pine and the blue spruce is so uncommon that it is desirable that all additions of this delightful color- ing should be made as widely known as possible.

Cedrus verticil- lata is a distinctly graceful plant, notice- able even among the deodara and other cedars. Both have the beautiful blue tint mentioned above. HEDGES. Hedges require to be frequently trimmed and to have considerable mois- ture. But these things can easily be supplied in grounds of moderate size, and hedges are used with excellent effect on such grounds. For a good hedge you must have thoroughly prepared deep soil; set the plants close, and shear them at least twice a year. For evergreen hedges the most serviceable plant in general is the arbor-vitaj. The plants may be set at distances of twelve to thirty inches apart. For choice hedges in home grounds, especially outside the extreme northern states, the retinisporas are use- ful. One of the most satisfactory of all coniferous plants for hedges is the common hemlock, which stands shearing well and makes a soft and pleasing mass. The plants are set from one to three feet apart. Other plants that hold their leaves and are good for hedges are the common box and privet. Box hedges are best for low borders about walks and flower beds. The dwarf variety can be kept down to a height of six inches to a foot for any number of years. The larger growing kinds make excellent hedges, three, four and five feet high. The ordinary privet holds its leaves well into winter in the north. California privet holds its leaves longer and stands better along the sea- shore. For deciduous hedges the National Council of Horticulture says the most used plants are the buckthorn, Euro- pean thorn apple or Crataegus, the osage orange and various kinds of roses. THE IDAHO LAW. The new Idaho law provides that nur- sery firms that have complied with the state horticultural laws in the inspection of their nurseries, or the nurseries from which they procure their stock, may have duplicate certificates of the health of their stock, upon the payment of $1 for each certificate. Any violation of the law, in the selling of the stock that is not inspected or having a clean bill of health, is made a misdemeanor, with a fine of $25 to $300. Any nursery stock may be brought into the state without having been grown in an inspected nursery, provided the shipper shall submit the stock to a qual- ified state inspector, who will give him a certificate of health, charging the shipper for the inspection.

The wholesale shipping trade was heavy, but, due to the previous hot spell, was not quite up to former years. Plants found a ready sale. One of the notable fea- tures was an exhibition given by Van Bochove & Bro. A large store in the main business section was rented and a fine showing of flowering plants was made. Easter lilies, spiraeas, rambler roses, azaleas and bulbous stock were the main attraction. Large specimen palms were used for decoration. In the evening the store was brightly lighted and hundreds of people were given a chance to admire the biggest flower show the city ever had. By Saturday night nothing of consequence was left, and Van Bochove & Bro. are well satisfied with the results this new enterprise has given them. All other stores made a good showing for the holiday, and as far as report goes are ahead of former sales. F. W. Meyers has a grand lot of car- nations and his Lady Bountiful are a sight. He also has a fine lot of bedding plants. The Central Michigan Nurseries have secured the services of W. C. Cook, now with the Dunkley Floral Co. Mr. Cook will start in his new position as soon as a new man arrives to take the place he is holding now. A. Grofvert is well pleased with the business done and states that Easter sales were far ahead of last year. His carnations are in the pink condition and his place is in fine shape for the coming bedding season. H. M. WHITEHALL, MICH. Mrs. Alexander Dowie and her son, Gladstone, have sold their greenhouses to Miss Susie Wood, who has removed them from the Dowie summer home, Ben McDhui, to her farm near Shelby, Mich., where she will make a specialty of violet culture, thus adding another industry to her fruit growing, in which she has been successful. Mrs. Dowie, in place of the greenhouses, is planning a fine, large conservatory. Trade is exceeding highest expectations in this part of the state. W. E. P. Roland Park, Md. — Arthur Albrecht, Jr., says the demand for galax, leucothcB and other greens was heavier than ever last season and he sold out of stock much quicker than he had ex- pected to. He plans to be prepared for a larger business next season. Stronsr, Well Rooted CARNATION CUTTINGS Per 1000 I*lDk Lawson $10.00 Var.

CINQNNATL Tfie Market Business is slow, as it always is just after a big holiday, and there has been little demand for anything in particu- lar. What demand there is is on the spasmodic order. Funeral work consti- tutes the main standby, with now and then a wedding of not large degree. The weather has been fairly favorable and it would seem that before long busi- ness would be back to normal. Easter lilies are with us now in large numbers and are selling slowly and at low prices. We are in need of several good, big wedding decorations to clear the market of the surplus. Bulbous flowers of all kinds are in good supply and selling slowly. Koses are coming in heavily and selling at job-lot prices in most cases. The quality of the stock is fairly good, but there are no takers and they go for what is offered. Carna- tions are not quite so plentiful and the price on the better grades is holding out well. The only flower for which there is an active demand is the sweet pea. The pri'^.e is but about 50 cents per hundred, but at that they sell out clean. Ferns and all other kinds of green goods are scarcely more than equal to the demand. Variotti Notes. It is hoped that a good number of the members of the Florists' Society will be present at the meeting to be held Saturday evening, April 13. It is ex- pected that it will be an interesting meeting, as several important topics will be brought up for discussion. Mr. Fulle, of Richmond, Ind., was a risitor last week. C. J. Ohmer. DAYTON, OHIO. At the last regular meeting of the Dayton Florists' Club, Thursday, April 4, G. W. Bartholomew, the newly elected president, presided. A unanimous vote of thanks was tendered the retiring pres- ident, J. B. Heiss, for the untiring serv- ices rendered the club. It was voted that the Dayton Florists' Club subscribe $150 to the guarantee fund of the na- tional flower show. Easter trade was reported good. It was the general opinion of all that there was a marked increase in the demand for blooming plants. There was an ample supply of all cut flowers, for which there was a healthy demand. Crookston, Minn. — J. F. Ilelter, proprietor of the Queen City greenhouse, recently had a narrow escape from drowning in Red Lake river. MABELLE new PINK CARNATION rOR 1007 Color — A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a faint yellowish cast; several shades lighter than the Law- ■on. Unlike most pinks, the brightest sun does not injare the color. Slee— 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 rapklly, blooms early and gives long stems ri^ht from the start. Prodact> iveneaa — Prodigious is the best word we know of to ase here. It is the most incessant bloomer, early atid late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. No discount. Price 112.00 per 100; 1100.00 per 1000. THE H.

Eaater is something of an old story by now, but it still may be worth while recording that the volume of trade ex- ceeded all previous records in Cleveland. There was a large supply of stock, both cut flowers and plants, so that prices were reasonable and a big volume of busi- ness possible. Since Easter trade has been only fair, from a wholesale point of view, but the retailers appear well satisfied. They are doing a fair amount and there is so much stock that they can supply their needs at moderate prices and make a good profit. Undertakers' Commissions. Friction has arisen between the florists and undertakers over the prices of flowers used at funerals. The florists will hold a meeting this week with a view to raising the price or cutting down the commission now received by undertakers for orders given for burial goods in the floral line. It is customary for many undertakers to take a burial by contract, agreeing to furnish flowers, cabs and all other incidentals needed. They give the or- ders for flowers to their favored florists, who in turn allow the undertaker a commission for directing business their way. With the general advance in the price of everything during the last few years the same prices have remained for flowers, though funerals cost a great deal more than formerly. The' florists agree that they should share in the general prosperity, and have demanded of the undertakers that better prices prevail. The undertakers have balked and the florists threaten to cut off the commis- sions altogether and let purchasers ar- range for their flowers direct instead of through the undertakers.

Busi- ness has not been good in a retail way; nothing much doing except forced busi- ness. A sign reading * ' Roses 25 cents and 50 cents per dozen" in the window of one of the best shops in the city tells its own tale. Eoses are abundant and selling for almost anything that is offered for them. I would be ashamed to mention the prices for which special Beauties have been sold all the week. The Greeks have their stands buried in good flowers of all kinds, including immense bunches of special Beauties. Variouf Notes. The Florists' Club met Tuesday even- ing, April 2. It was rose night, but the only exhibitor in this line was the Pitts- burg Eose and Carnation Co., which sent a bunch of each of the varieties grown. They were a creditable lot of stock and received many eompliinents. Allegheny Park showed cinerarias and an assort- ment of blooming plants and Schenley conservatories showed some fine hyacinth plants. There was a good crowd present and an enjoyable and profitable evening was spent. A number of persons were appointed to talk on credits at the next meeting. As this is quite an important part of the business and has never been taken up by the club, it should be of especial interest to all the commercial members. Uncle John Wyland, while out driving in his buggy Saturday night, April 6, mixed it up with an automobile, the re- sult being that Mr, Wyland was badly shaken up and the horse seriously in- jured. The auto was put out of com- mission. James Wyland has the sympathy of his many friends in the trade in the loss of his wife, who died Monday, April 8, leaving one child. Randolph & McClements are busy moving into their new store, having sold the old property some time ago. Hoo-Hoo. Lafayette, Ind. — V.

The Market Again we are in the clutches of win- ter. April fooled everyone, with hail, snow and rains. Business has been ;i little quiet, although funeral work holds up. Little bulbous stock was left over from last week. However, many spiraeas were carried over and there are lilies, roses and carnations enough to meet the demand. Violets manage to hold their own in supply. The street boys get all the stock they want, even fancy Beau- ties. Various Notes. E. W. Fiedler & Co. have purchased thirty acres of land at Putty Hill, on the Belair road. They are erecting a new greenhouse, 30x200, for carnations. Lord & Burnham Co. is furnishing the material. Albert Fiedler, one of the most enterprising young men in Balti- more, is in the company. The steadily increasing business has compelled him to join his father and brother in start- ing an up-to-date greenhouse plant. W. Keir, of Pikesville, is cutting a large crop of fine roses. J. L. T. DETROIT. The Market With the exception of considerable funeral work, things have been rather quiet for the last week. But perusal ol the society notes indicates that soon our little friend, Cupid, will get in his work, and incidentally make work for thr florist. As in other localities, roses are quite plentiful, the beat price being $6 pei hundred. The stock is good. White car- nations are scarce . but colored stock i^ plentiful, despite the fact that the bull- of the crop came in just before Easter causing many growers to be off crop a* present. Thousands of Enchantress, mostly from one grower, are going to waste owing to their inclination toward sleepiness. Bulbous stock is coming to an end. H APRIL 11, 1907.

D. S. Kimball was elected to membership. j{. W. Unger read an interesting paper on ' ' Plant Bedding and Bedding Stock, ' ' and answered a number of questions put to him by the members. ]S'ext on the program was J. F. Sulli- vau with a paper on ' * The Benefits of a Florists' Club." As usual, he offered many valuable suggestions on club man- agement. Quite a lengthy discussion of Easter trade followed. The growers seemed well pleased with the results. The retailers all joined in proclaiming this a banner Easter. Several said that 15 cents per bud is too much for any but extra fancy lilies. The opening of the question box brought forth the query: ''Why not get $8 per hundred for geraniums, whole- sale?" It was decided that, although strong plants are easily worth $8 per hundred, the public will not pay more than $1 per dozen, retail, as long as they can get them on the market for that. There was a prolonged discus- sion, but no solution was possible. James Taylor has promised to read a paper on the evening of July 3. Various Note*. Ed Phillips, for many years with Beard Bros., has opened a saloon. For the first time in about twenty years B. Schroeter has had to take to his bed on account of illness.

Greenhonse Seating. BOILER INSPECTION LAW. Referring to the discussion as to the proposed Massachusetts law for the in- spection of boilers, I attended the re- cent meeting at the State House, when a committee of greenhouse owners voiced their protest at being made subject to the law, and as far as I could learn the whole unfortunate matter simply is a dispute between the engineers and boiler-makers, as to who should have the right of inspecting the boilers in the state. After an experience of fourteen years throughout the United States erect- ing greenhouse boilers, I would say that the skilled mechanic should have the preference over all others. I have set up hundreds of boilers in greenhouses, among them tubular boil- ers that the Hartford Insurance Co. had cut the pressure on. They have been run- ning under a pressure from fifteen to thirty pounds for ten years or more and I find the plate in the boiler just as good today as when it left the shops. In regard to licensed firemen, I would rather have a good, upright and honest greenhouse man who has had experience with fires, than a number of the licensed firemen of today, for a case came under my notice where a licensed fireman was the cause of almost freezing an entire greenhouse. Daniel Iliffe. HOT WATER BOILERS. During my experience in greenhouse heating I have set up a great many dif- ferent styles of boilers, among them horizontal tubular boilers, upright tubu- lar, locknut-nipple, push-nipple and port- able upright cast-iron boilers. The tubular boiler makes a good boiler for heating purposes, when properly taken care of. All the water should be run off and the boiler thoroughly cleaned once a year, when the boiler and system should be refilled and left so until it is required for use again. All boilers should be properly valved on supply and return. The cast-iron boiler should be blown off by steam, so as to clean out the boiler thoroughly. A great many boil- ers are found fault with as not giving satisfactory results, but if you look into the manner in which these boilers are run you will find the fault is not with the boiler in a great many cases, but with the one who has charge of the boiler. In regard to push-nipple boilers, I would say they are just as good for heating purposes as any cast-iron boiler, but they are not quite so safe as the locknut-nipple boiler. If any part of a push-nipple boiler needs repairing you have to take the whole boiler apart, whereas with the locknut-nipple boiler, if a part or section gives out, you can take a three-wheel pipe-cutter and cut the connection to the damaged section, plug up same and your boiler is ready for work again. All hot water boilers should be thor- oughly cleaned every other year. A good way to do this would be to close the main supply and return valves to the" boiler, put on a water gauge so placed that the gauge cock will show water in the boiler when it reaches to within three inches of the top; also have a steam gauge attached to the We bav* a largre lot of oholoe 4-incli Boiler tubes (■eoond-hand) whlcli we will sell at a -Write for prices at once.

Then fill your boiler until the gauge cock shows water within three inches of the top, start a wood fire in the boiler and when you have from ten to thirty pounds steam draw the fire and blow off the boiler.

Easter trade was good, almost any- thing in the shape of a flower command- ing a price on Saturday. Eoses were good and not overplentiful. Carnations, owing to the warm weather preceding Easter, had slightly deteriorated in qual- ity but they were better than most of the stock imported from the north, which had evidently been in steep for a con- siderable time. There were many com- plaints on this score, both in Salem and in Eoanoke. Violets were plentiful but poor. Lilies were scarce. Prices were a little in advance of last season. Pot- ted plants, such as cyclamens, cinerarias, spirapas, etc., were in great demand and seemed to be wanted even more than cut blooms. Both growers and retailers seem to be satisfied with the amount of trade done. R. VAYSIDE NOTES. Underwood Bros, and the Franklin Park Floral Co., of Columbus, Ohio, made special attractions at the green- houses. Being located in the best resi- dence section, they do not need stores. Albert Knopf, the able manager of the Franklin Park Floral Co., says Easter IS their most anxious season and he, for one, ia glad when it is over and the usual routine is resumed. Fine stock is Rrown here. Practically every plant was spoken for. M. Bloy, of the Gasser Co., Eocky Ijiver, Ohio, says this has been one of the most critical seasons for the grower and he who managed to get his stock in at Easter deserves a medal. Immense quantities of flowering plants are han- I'led, both wholesale and retail. Roses ^nd carnations were in heavy crop iust fit the right time. John Walker, of Youngstown, O., ex- pects to move his plant this spring. The ^ncroachment of the railroad and smoke *rom the engines make it impossible to grow cut flowers. He has a fine lot of Don't Put Your Boiler In a Pit IT IS NOT NECESSARY with a Morehead Trap.

In New Orleans it has not been an occasion for the grand display of plants and flowers which takes place at that time in the north. Moreover, this winter has been so mild that peo- ple did not really know when spring was opening, as we had flowers, chiefly roses, all the last month. Still, on that day some customers want something extra and are willing to pay for extra fine lilies, extra carnations and the like. From what Charles Eble says, business would have fceen better if the flowers received from the north had been in bet- ter condition. M. Cook & Sons have not so many complaints about the stock they have received from the north, but they say also that business was under that of last year.

The Market For the whole week previous to Eas- ter the weather was exceptionally fine, which was much appreciated; not a plant had to be wrapped. Church deco- rations were up to the usual standard, some perhaps better than last year. Eeports on Easter business run from ten per cent to thirty per cent better than last year. It was more of a plant Easter than ever before and all kinds of blooming plants sold well, the popular prices being $1 to $2 per plant for Eas- ter lilies and $1 to $5 on other plants. There was a good supply of the more expensive plants. Azaleas were in fine condition and sold well at prices rang- ing from $3 to $10. White azaleas, while not numerous, appeared to be a drug on the market, but Vander Cruys- sen sold well. Hydrangeas retailed freely at from $5 to $15. Bulb stock was much in demand and more could have been sold. Particularly fine sellers noticed by the Park Floral Co. were the Rose Falcon and Eose Luisante tulips. In the way of cut flowers there ap- peared to be enough to satisfy the de- mand, with prices good. There was no shortage. Since Easter stock has come in plen- tifully, roses more so than carnations, and all of good quality. Beauties of all grades are plentiful and business has been fairly good since Easter. All the growers, as well as the retailers, seemed to be perfectly satisfied with the busi- ness done and March was undoubtedly one of the best months in some time. E. S. El. TAUNTON, MASS. Taunton Greenhouses report Easter trade as the best they ever had. They had several houses of fine Easter lilies, which came in just right. Many of these they shipped away in carload lots per electrics, right from their door, and cleaned up finely. All other blooming plants sold well. Local retail trade was double that of any preceding season, the call being principally for pot plants. In cut flowers, violets easily led. Carna- tions at $1 to $1.50 per dozen proved too high and moved slowly. There was only a moderate call for any other cut flow- ers. Trade before and since Easter was very good and Memorial day trade is expected to break all records. W. N. C. East Greenwich, E. I. — H. P.

Taunton Greenhouses report Easter trade as the best they ever had. They had several houses of fine Easter lilies, which came in just right. Many of these they shipped away in carload lots per electrics, right from their door, and cleaned up finely. All other blooming plants sold well. Local retail trade was double that of any ]ireceding season, the call being princijially for pot plants. In cut flowers, violets easily led. Carna- tions at $] to $].~)0 per dozen proved too high and moved slowly. There Avas only a moderate call for any other cut flow- ers.

Everything was cut to fit perfectly and so carefully packed that not one piece was broken in transit. Your promptness in turning out material and the way you do business is worth a good many dollars to any florist— I know by experience, as some firms don't seem to care after they have your order.

Any florist possessing a moderately .varra house will find the variegated Pan- 'lanus Veitchii and the newer Sanderse -xcellent sellers. They are of easy cul- 'ivation and propagate readily from Flickers or side shoots, which, when placed in a good bottom heat, are not long in rooting. We consider P. Veitchii prob- ably the best variegated foliage plant for pot culture. P. Sanderae, while dis- tinct, is less beautiful, the pure white and green of the former variety making it almost everyone's favorite. For propagating purposes a mixture of sand and moss will be found even bet- ter than one of pure sand. Potted off as soon as rooted and grown along in a warm house or a frame in summer, these soon make salable plants. A compost of turfy loam, lumpy charcoal and well dried cow manure, with a good dash of sharp sand, makes a suitable potting medium. Any old plants of pandanus may be planted out to good purpose in suotropical beds and will furnish a fine lot of suckers for propagation by fall. For growing in the dwelling house, the pandanus has few superiors. In winter it should be kept rather on the dry side. Ficui. Ficus elastica, better known as rubber plant, never seems to lose its popularity as a house plant. With Boston ferns, it stands in the first rank. Florists find a perennial demand for these plants and large numbers are annually imported from Belgium. Propagation is not at all difficult and if a few old, bushy plants are at command it is really surprising what a batch can be worked up. A couple of years ago we rooted sixty plants from one of these old, cut-back speci- mens and even then the plant broke back freely and looked quite presentable by fall. While early winter is an excellent time to put in cuttings, they may still be rooted in a warm, rather close and shaded house. We prefer sand and moss for propagation and tie up the leaves so that the cuttings take up less space. Water the cuttings twice a uay, never allow sun to fall on them, and a large percentage will root. Another method of propagation entail- ing rather more labor is the ' ' ringing ' ' plan, which consists of making a cut or incision about two inches long midway between two eyes. The cut should be slanting and go half through the stem of the shoot. Drop some powdered char- coal in the cut to prevent bleeding. A small wedge, the thickness of a match, is needed to keep the cut open. A fair sized handful of moss must then be tied around the cut with raffia and frequently moistened; in fact, it must never be al- lowed to get dry. In a close, moist at- mosphere, with a night temperature of 65 degrees, the roots will not be long in appearing and, when they are seen push- ing through the moss, the tops can be cut off, placed in as small pots as pos- sible, kept frequently syringed until es- tablished and potted on as they require it. Crotons, dracsenas and dieffenbachias may all be rooted by the mossing process and much finer plants can be had by this method than by rooting them in sand. We frequently see beautiful crotons in small pots at the exhibitions and wonder how such specimens can be produced in such tiny receptacles. These plants are usually rooted by the mossing plan. Stevias. Often in the rush of other spring operations that useful little plant, the stevia, is neglected or forgotten. If cut- tings were put in a month ago they should now be in 2 1/^ -inch pots, nicely rooted, and ought to have been pinched once to keep them bushy. It is not yet too late to insert a batch of cuttings. They root quickly and would be nice, stocky little plants in four or five weeks. The general plan is to plant out stevias as soon as danger from frost is gone, and pot them up early in September. A much better plan is to grow them in pots or boxes all the time. When planted out ters. Pinch out the tops to keep them bushy. Old plants which were probably placed under the benches to make room for other stock should be cut back hard, potted up into as small pots as they conveniently Can be squeezed into and started into growth. If you find they are loaded with bug, either destroy the plants or clean out the bug with a strong nico- tine solution. Gtlceolarias. What are commonly called herbaceous calceolarias are useful for florists having a good retail call for plants. They need cool treatment at all times and are very impatient of heat. As they bloom dur- ing May, they should now be in their flowering pots. Private gardeners grow immense specimens of these in 10-inch to 12-inch pots, which, when staked out, are three to four feet in diameter, but these are beyond the limits of the commercial florist. Nice stock can be had in 6-inch to 8-inch pots, which, carefully staked before the stems get bent or broken, will make a fine show. These plants seem to be headquarters for green aphis and should have tobacco stems placed among them and in addition receive weekly fumigations. Their large, showy, self-col- ored or spotted flowers are very attract- ive. If preferred, the plants can be eas- ily held back for Memorial day, when the flowers themselves will be found val- uable, even if the plants are unsold. Calceolaria rugosa varieties. Golden Edge and Prince of Orange, which are popular bedding sorts in Europe, are of little value for that purpose here, owing Floriculture in North Guolioa* (Tin- ostabllshnient of Frederick Roll, a Review reader at Durham, N. C.) they grow luxuriantly, but, unless pinched and otherwise cared for, they will break badly with high winds. In 8-inch pots they will make beautiful plants, or, if you prefer it, place several in a deep flat and keep in the open, where you can readily reach them with the hose. This little plant is invaluable at Christmas and, indeed, may be had over a long period by holding in a cold house. Bouvardias. Bouvardias are less grown than for- merly, but, nevertheless, are very useful in winter. Cuttings from pieces of roots or soft shoots ought to be well rooted and potted off by this time. They can- not be planted out with safety before the end of May, but can be gradually hardened by placing them in cooler quar- to our hot summers. For pot culture, however, they are excellent and as they have much tougher stems than the her- baceous class, are of special value for bunching for Memorial day trade. These are propagated by cuttings which should be inserted in September or October and can be flowered in 6-inch or 7-inch pots, making bushy specimens. They need cool treatment all the time, but will endure more sun than the herbaceous class. They are also freer from aphis attacks. Brief Reminders. Seedlings of Primula obconica should now be pricked off in pans or flats. Give them a moderately warm house and shade from bright sun. Fuchsias need a cool, airy house and full sunshine. Keep them pinched and '■■^r 1666 The Weekly Florists^ Review* April 18, 1907. pick oflf all flowers. Give them a shift before they become potbound. If your seedlings of Asparagus plumo- sus nanus and smilax are of suflicient size, pot off without delay. Keep at the seedlings and prick them off as fast as they are of sufficient size to handle. If allowed to become crowded and drawn they will be of little value. An additional sowing of asters can now be made. Victoria, Comet and Queen of Earlies are all good sorts. If you have any left-over rambler roses, cut out all the old flowering wood and give the plants a chance to make new shoots from the bottom. Be sure you do not allow zonal gera- niums to dry out badly at the root or they will soon show the effects of it. Give yellow-looking plants a weak dose of nitrate of soda to color them up. Do not, however, persist in its use, as it causes too rank foliage at expense of flowers. Fall potted bulbs of auratum and speciosum lilies will now have pushed up young shoots. Give them a cool, light, airy house. Don't force them, as they resent it. It is six weeks to Memorial day. Look out for the lilies, spiraeas, hydrangeas, candytuft, feverfew, marguerites and other crops coming along. Push those which may seem a little backward and retard those which are early. If you have any late tulips and nar- cissi in flats and can hold them back in a cold pit for Memorial day they will bring better money than you could pos- sibly obtain now. THE ENGLISH CARNATION SHOW. As reported in a recent issue, the Win- ter-Flowering Carnation Society in Eng- land held its second annual exhibition March 13 at Regent's park, London. It was a very successful affair, although not of great extent as compared with the exhibitions of carnations often seen on this side of the Atlantic. The accom- panying illustration is reproduced from a photograph of the largest exhibit in the show and will serve to give American grow'ers an idea of the character of the English exhibition. There are some twenty-five varieties in this display, which was staged by Hugh Low & Co., said to be the largest growers of carnations in England. They have several large houses devoted to carnations and grow practically all the American varieties. It will be noted that they staged not only cut blooms, but growing plants in pots. The attendance at the exhibition was large. The visitors seemed thoroughly interested and the exhibitors did a large business in booking orders. The two British novelties, Mrs. Burnett and Bri- tannia, sold better than the new Ameri- can sorts. This was doubtless at least in part due to the fact that several exhib- itors showed these varieties in first-class style and the new American sorts were not in flower, although young plants of Beacon, Winsor and others were shown. STIGMONOSE. I enclose a few leaves from my carna- tion plants; the youog stock. Can you tell me the trouble and what causes the spots? They are making a vigorous growth. I thought perhaps it might be aphis, as there have been a few on them. I am also having trouble with aster seedlings; also some other seedlings, in- cluding cabbage, tomatoes, cauliflower and smilax. There is something that at- tacks them apparently under the surface of the soil. I have examined some and it seems to start with the top root and proceed upward to the surface. The lit- tle plants wither up until they fall over It seems to attack them soon after thev get through the soil. I thought at first it was a fungus, but it seems to be a dry rot. I was careful in watering tho seeds. The flats were set in a sunny place. What shall I do to check tli,' thing? I have been using air-slakol lime. R. M. Your carnations are suffering from ;i disease which was formerly known a; bacteriosis, but which is now calleu stigmonose. This is caused by th. punctures made by insects, such as aphi« thrips or red spiders, etc. The lighv spots you see are destroyed leaf cells an^' you cannot change them by any externa) applications. In fact, I have heard ot no remedy for destroying the poisoi, which is left by the insect after with- drawing its proboscis, and the only way I know of to get rid of the disease is by selection of cuttings. When propagating, look over your plants carefully and take only cuttings which do not show any of these light spots. The next season you will see less of it, though you will hardly get rid of it in one season. In fact, if you work it out in three seasons you will be doing well. Frequently the cuttings will de- velop these spots in the sand, even when none showed at the time they were taken from the plants. If potted up and handled carefully, they will apparently outgrow it during the summer, but the next winter it reappears and selection must be practiced again and again, until it disappears entirely. All this time great care must be taken to keep off all insects to prevent fresh inoculation. Varieties that show a tendency toward this disease should be propagated as late as is possible, in order to get the more vigorous cuttings towards spring, when the disease begins to disappear. The less spots the cuttings show, the better are your chances for clean stock for the next season, though, as I said before, the spots frequently appear later on. The poison seems to run all through the plant and shows itself at any severe check to the plant, especially when the sunlight is weak. At first it was supposed that each spot was caused by a puncture and that when these spots appeared it signified the pres- Display of Hugh Low & G>. at the Second Exhibition of England's drnation Society, London, March 13, 1907.

Close observation, how- ever, convinced me that such was not the case and for a time caused me to doubt the whole stigmonose theory. We have seen many instances where a whole bench of certain varieties would become 80 full of these spots as to make the plants look yellow, when at the same time the grower would be positive that there had never been enough insects present to produce one-tenth of the spots. This has led to the conclusion that the disease is first started by tne punctures of insects and that the poison remains in the plant, even though it may ap- parently outgrow it, only to reappear at any time conditions are unfavorable to the plant, such as dark weather, over- watering, overfeeding, severe starving, etc. By promoting a strong, sturdy growth and avoiding everything that would have a tendency to soften the growth or check it, you can help the plant to overcome it and in time become entirely free from it. It is said that plants are seldom en- tirely free from insects, even though you may not discover any when examining with the naked eye, and therefore here and there a plant may become punctured and inoculated when you thought them entirely clean. This shows how im- portant it is to apply your insect de- stroyers as preventives rather than as cures. Don't wait until insects become numerous enough to be seen in passing along, but destroy them before they are old enough to puncture the leaves. The old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure certainly applies in this case. Your aster seedlings are no doubt suf- fering from the common aster blight, which does such great damage in the field. I wish I knew what causes it and what will cure it, but up to date I' have heard of no cure after it gets a fair start. The best cure is under the boiler. Get rid of them and make a fresh sowing. Do not plant asters on the same soil where they were the year before if there was any sign of this disease, else you will have trouble. A. F. J. Bauk. INDOOR WINDOW-BOXES. One of the distinct features of the American flower market, as far as the disposal of the rank and file of flower- ing pot plants is concerned, is its out- spoken dependency on seasons; that is, the concentration of business on Christ- mas, Easter and Decoration day. Con- ditions as to Christmas and Easter are similar in other countries, but, in spite of increased holiday trade, its influence is not as decisive there as it is with us. Our national custom has, however, one great advantage for us. It affords the possibility of systematically concentrat- ing our energies on a certain end. In this case it means for the grower to have his stuff in the best salable shape when the harvest days arrive. The re- verses are: long intermediate periods of quietness, with little or nothing doing; more or less severe losses, on stock, which for one reason or another was not com- ing in just in time, and the impossibil- ity of growing any pot plant species which cannot be had at their best during the days our customers are in the habit of buying. As the volume of business at holiday seasons is, indeed, very large, there ap- pears to be no obvious reason for being dissatisfied, much less to study condi- tions with a view to enlarging the mar- ket by trying to stimulate the desire to purchase more flowering pot plants in- dependent of seasons. This is, however, only the surface aspect; for as soon as we begin to look closer into affairs, we find that year after year the amount of unsold surplus stock grows. Then the lower grades of flowering pot plants usually go begging first. It seems to be the inevitable outcome. Still, if we more carefully look over the recent trade reports, we find the fact repeatedly re- corded that the new, attractive designs of baskets and jardinieres are often in- strumental in selling large numbers of the lower grades of pot plants, which otherwise could not have been disposed of at all. Trade reports, to many, may appear only as matter of passing interest, but most of us take a fleeting glance over them and, perhaps, verify the statement of the local correspondent with our own experience. Keview correspondents are, however, frequently in the laudable habit of giving us brief information as to the how and why of things. The oc- casional practice of supplementing the reports of the bare facts with explana- tory or suggestive remarks cannot be too highly appreciated. It enables the thoughtful reader to not only determine the actual condition of business but it will also, in many instances, aid him in the intelligent drawing of conclusions as to the future trend of business. Ijet us return to the jardiniere and plant basket, and in doing so I wish the window-box included. When mentioning the latter I do not, in this instance, refer to it as an outdoor decoration. What I desire to call attention to are the winter window -baskets, as represent- ed by the accompanying illustration. Tliis basket is filled with the so-called ^lartha Washington geraniums. It is that convenient size that fits on the inner window sill. Florists' supply houses, I believe, carry at present very attractive designs of jardinieres, win- dow boxes and baskets. We have been planting them princi- pally with ferns and other foliage plants, ex;-ept at holiday seasons, when flowering plants and especially bulbous stock is also freely used. The use of window-baskets, simply as ornamental re- ceptacles for flowering pot plants of the common, every-day class, is an inno- vation. It is doubtless a good one, wliich deserves every encouragement. Such baskets or boxes could, of course, always have an inner tin box to hold the dripping water.

Early Geraaiums. In bedding stuff the all-important geranium takes the first place. For those intended to be in bloom early it is advisable to have fall struck cut- tings rooted in small pots. Stop them early in tTanuary and allow them to break before giving a shift into 3 V^ -inch or 4-ineh pots. Be careful to ascertain before potting that the balls are prop- erly moist; otherwise the soil is almost sure to fall away and thus the plant will receive a bad check. Finally pot firmly in not over rich soil, so as to produce short-jointed, stocky plants. Keep all varieties separate and spaced out; never allow overcrowding. See that proper stopping is attended to. Do not merely lean over the bench and cut the top off one here and there, but go over them one by one and stop where necessary. By this method you are enabled to clean off discolored leaves, also to give more space and to turn them around so as to produce more evenly shaped plants. This method also prevents them from rooting into the bench, an evil which causes rank, long-jointed growth which does not flower freely. The observant grower will take note of those varieties which sell well and will be careful to re- tain sufficient stock plants of those kinds so that he may prepare for another year. Marguerites. The marguerite is another plant which, if grown well, deserves to be far more popular than it at present is. There is abundant evidence that spring stuff is crowded out until after Easter, when it is too late to make amends. What is more distressing than to see a house full of overdrawn plants which might have been specimens but for neglect in this detail of giving room? Marguerites at all times require plenty of water; if allowed to get dry three or four times every plant will get the maggot. To cure, use kerosene and soap, an egg cup full of kerosene to the gallon of water, and syringe every sec- ond day until cured. Meantime pick off maggot-infected leaves and burn them. You may run your house at anything above freezing point until a month be- fore selling time, and by stopping three times as low as possible you will have nice shapely plants. In the daytime give plenty of air, but never a draft unless you have an ambition for greenfly. Lobelias. The lobelia well deserves a little care bestowed upon it, and to those who are too impatient to keep stock plants and raise it from cuttings an excellent way is to sow your seed early. Emperor William is still a favorite. Prick off two or tJiree in a hole into a shallow flat, filled one-third with well rotted horse manure. Press soil moderately firm, particularly round the edges. By ^gettrng your plants early- you are able to cut down with a pair of Scissors two or three times, which process gives you a short plant covered with bloom. By porting two or three from small pots intO' a. 5-inch it is, quite easy to quickly have Ji showy plant, covered with bloom. Fuchsias. ^ The lovely fuchsia, with its graceful, pendulous habit, . certainly deserves a place of honor in any list of easily grown plants. The history of its intro- duction into England is surely worth repeating. A gentleman was passing a thoroughfare in Wapping, a shipping center situated in the east end of Lon- don, when he noticed a plant in the win- dow of a humble house. He went with all speed to the nursery of Mr. Lee, at Hammersmith. The writer was an in- fant in arms when this place existed, thirty years ago, but he knows the spot quite well ; the London Olympia now stands upon the grounds. Mr. Lee im- mediately proceeded to Wapping and purchased the plant for all the money he had in his pocket — thirteen guineas — from the mother of a sailor lad who had brought it home from abroad. To return to my theme, a common error is to feed fuchsias too much. If you do so they will not flower freely, but make too much wo6d. Peed only with occasional weak doses when root bound. They don't require stopping in every case. Eose of Castile breaks naturally and is of a splendid habit. A popular free floweriijg- «-yai4ei^y js Mrs. Marshall. Spring cut'tings"' taken- early make good plants by the middle of April in 4-inch pots. Petunias. The petunia is deservedly i popular, both the single and double variety. With doubles it is far better to save your stock plants; by so doing you run no risk in getting mongrels, which havfe to be dumped. In singles how many growers have been had by buying wortl^less seed which produces small flowers? jThe best seed costs anything from $40 to $50 an ounce, but a sixteenth of an oiance is a good many seeds. However, by select- ing the best plants every year' for seed this expense is overcome, besides improv- ing the strain. The points to b^ watched in saving plants for seed are': Select the most free breaking dwsjrf habit plants with the largest flowers 'and best .markings; pot into 5-inch; keep covered from rain and wind, but fully exposed to light and air. Do not neglect the watering and don't wet the bloom. A camel 's-hair brush dabbed lightly from bloom to bloom every morning is sure to pollinate them. Those flowers polli- nated will have wilted in twenty-four hours, and by July the pods will be ripe enough to pick. Stocks, asters, salvias, pyrethrum are all easily grown plants and require plenty of air at all times; they fully re- pay a little time and attention bestowed upon them. Laxgley Tudor.

He said that while in a wholesale way they find it necessary to guard credits closely, in the retail stores, where individual purchases are small, they find little care is needed. Practically any one on their mailing list is welcome to credit to a reasonable amount. Any customer who orders over the telephone, and is a telephone sub- scriber, is considered good for an ordi- nary purchase. Mr. Wittbold said that pursuing this liberal policy they never had in any year lost as much as $500 in uncollectable accounts. RETAILERS' DEVELOPMENT. It is interesting to note the size to which some of the retail business estab- lishments have grown. For instance, at the last meeting of the Chicago Florists' Club Louis Wittbold, secretary of the George Wittbold Co., said that they now have on their retail books 6,000 charge accounts. They are, of course, running two stores, but 6,000 charge customers represents a very considerable amount of business, Mr, Wittbold stated that the month of March, 1907, was the largest in the his- tory of their business and that he credits the steady increase to continuous adver- tising. They have a list of over 8,000 names, practically all residents of the north side of Chicago. To each one of these they mail some piece of advertising once each month. He said that when they have for a time sought to reduce expenses by omitting the advertising the effect was at once apparent in the vol- ume of business. As a result the George Wittbold Co. is probably the largest ad- vertiser of any retail florists in the west. Considerable newspaper space is used, but the Chicago dailies charge the high- est rates in the country and the greater part of the circulation is outside the radius from which the Wittbold stores draw the bulk of their patronage. Mr. Wittbold was asked as to the DAILY ORDERS. The retail florists along Michigan ave- nue in Chicago have a number of orders to be filled every day, or every other day, as the case may be. There is in the neighborhood a considerable so-called artistic colony. The shops located there appeal to the better class of buyers. The office buildings are filled with people who cater to the exclusive class. It has be- come more or less the fashion in these places to keep a vase of flowers in the window, on the counter, or somewhere about the place. It adds a touch which nothing else can give. In every town the florist can get more or less of this business. He can make a bargain with the best store to main- ArniL 18, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review* 1671 - — a?

Ilerr Swoboda, of the firm of J. C. Schmidt, Berlin, had experimented with a temper- ature of 15 degrees to 20 degrees K^au., and intended to carry on the experi- ment further. Nurseryman Beuster had applied water at 37 degrees R6au. with- out injury to the plants. The method has been tried at Dresden, even on lilac, with good results, the plants being placed in tanks under water for ten hours of a temperature of 22 degrees to 24 degrees K^au. (86 degrees F.). This method is much cheaper than setheriza- tion, and, according to Die Bindekunst, will doubtless take its place in the early forcing of a large number of species. GROWTH FINE. FI.OWERS PCX)R. We have a solid bed in roses which are making lots of new growth from near the ground, almost walking sticks four feet and over in length, but the bloom is not in proportion; it is just ordinary in quality. We have been letting the blooms develop and then cutting back to three or four eyes, hoping the next growth will be better. Is that the right way? Also, there is considerable old, blind wood and we would like to know if it is best to prune much now. J. W. M. As these roses seem to be doing well and making excellent wood, there is no doubt but that they will produce good blooms after a while. It is possible that they are planted in too rich soil and should therefore receive no feeding until they seem to require it. It might be profitable, seeing they are inclined to such rank growth, to cut the stems a little higher, leaving five or six eyes instead of three or four. At this season it would be better to leave all the side, or blind, wood on the plants, thus affording a shade to the soil and protection from the hot sun for the roots. Bibes. SOIL FOR BENCHES. As soon as the weather will permit, the selection, collection and composting of soil for the season's planting should be commenced. The best of soil is none too good, so care .should be taken and some time spent in making the selection, as it will certainly pay to get the best that can be had. A good, friable yellow loam from old pasture land is the soil that most of the growers are after. The top spit, about seven inches deep, with all the sod, should be taken. This should be put into piles on ground elevated a little above the common level, to secure a dry bottom, and one-fifth of decom- posed cow manure added. After being allowed to lie in the pile for a week or so, to allow fermentation to commence, the whole mass should be chopped up, not too fine, and left for another week. By this time fermenta- tion will be so far advanced that the compost should either be used or turned over once more. In order to discourage thrips and other insect pests from making this pile their breeding place, no weeds should be al- lowed to make their appearance, either on the pile or in its immediate vicinity. All operations connected with the com- post should, if possible, be conducted dur- ing bright sunshine and when the soil is in a mellow condition. By a little forethought and care with the work, the soil will remain sweet and in good condition when placed on the bench. Eibes. SOUTHERN ROSES UNDER GLASS. [A paper by R. liookerblp. Now Orleans. rei\fl Itefore the Society of Southern Florists, at the New OrleauB Convention, February 14 to 10, 1907.1 Having, in previous installments, treated of propagating, culture and in- secticides, we will conclude with a few words on fertilizers, etc. Fertilizers. For fertilizers, roses require nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash and calcium or lime. For perfect foliage, stem, size and color of bloom the plants must have their proportion of each of these ingredients. The nitrogen is easily supplied by ani- mal manures, and dried blood and bone meal supply the phosphoric acid, whicli, besides increasing the size, develops th(' color of the bloom. Potash is found in hard- wood ashes, and muriate of potasl-. is another cheap source of supply. For- tunately the soils, in Louisiana at least, are well supplied with potash and this element may be eliminated. If the plants have made good growt!( and the soil shows signs of becoming ex- hausted a liberal dusting of bone meal may bo applied about the middle of Oi- tober, and this again covered with j) mulch of cow manure. This will carrv the plants along for a couple of months, when they should receive a little stinui lant about every two weeks. Alternate with a dusting of dried blood, cotton- seed meal and native Poudrette. . Tiiis latter is a Philadelphia pro(Juct, madi; from night soil, dried and pulverized, and is odorless and easy to handle. When used with bone flour in the pro- portion of four of Poudrette to one of the flour it makes a wonderful fertilizer. Its effect is noticed in a few days in the improved foliage and size and color of the blooms. All these fertilizers should be used sparingly at first and cither rubbed into the manure with the palm of the hand or covered with a thin coating of fresh soil. Manure water once or twice a month can also be given to advantage. Toward spring the quantities can be increased and another good mulch of manure wilt be beneficial, both as a fertilizer and a help in keeping the roots cool as long as- possible. Of course these rules are only for plants that are vigorous and healthy. Sickly plants must be nursed into health before any fertilizer can be given. From March on, the plants use more water and the supply can be increased as the season advances. During the growing season the aphis or greenfly must be kept in subjection. Tobacco stems used for fvimigating are so liable to discolor and cripple the blooms that the careful grower discards them for something else. The safest and most effective remedy that I have ever ^>1 r ^'^; : !* irgt , ..r. •• rt-v 3> 'v^^^i»?*r ■v — - s<^ !,'■ !^,tf< ^ a ^ Vi^im 'r g^ •- ^'A Conservatory of W. A. Blaedel. New York Qty.

Its cleanliness and safety from injurious results to the most tender plant and bloom more than offset the little higher price over other remedies. Roses for Summer Blooming. There are many other points of more or less importance that might be men- tioned, but this paper is so long already that I must apologize. Let me just write one word about roses for summer bloom- ing. Maman Cochet and its white sport are two roses that are worth millions for Slimmer blooming in the south. The same directions for soil and planting as jiivon before apply to them. Plenty of air and water, and, after they are well established, judicious fertilizing are the main requirements. These two varieties seem to riot in the hot sun and they can be run with profit until the Christmas holidays are over. If these are grown in a separate house, on raised, solid benches, they can b» used a number of years without disturbing the IxMiches. After the holidays are over j^radually withhold water and diminish the temperature, so as to get them into a dormant condition. In early spring tlicy can be pruned well back and two inches of soil removed. Give the beds a tliorough watering, then top dress with a y:ood dose of bone meal and add enough soil and manure in equal parts to level -inch pots. The confine- ment of the roots causes the plant to form from one to three and sometimes even more small roots, varying in size from that of the end of a man's thumb to twice or even three times that size. These tubers, althougli rather diminu- tive, and often unpromising in appear- ance, have suflScient food force stored in small confines to push forth good, strong, lusty shoots, and in time fur- nish as fine plants as any field-grown roots. The main thing is to cater to their needs. If potted and given a good start before planting in the open, my experience has been fully as satisfac- tory as though I had planted the field root; but where such methods are im- possible or impracticable, I should rec- ommend the field-grown stock. In an adverse season, like the spring of 1906, the large tuber would be far more liable to force its sprout above the surface of the rain-packed and water-soaked ground than its smaller brother. Once above the surface, the fight is nearly an even one. dreen plants of dahlias are prac- tically the same thing as chrysanthemum plants, young geraniums, and many of the pot plants of perennials. The clump of tubers is plunged in the bench in a moderately heated house, leaving the center or crown exposed. When the shoots have two sets of leaves and an undeveloped top, cut the slip just below the bottom leaves, trim the lower leaves close to the stem, and place in good, clear sand, where a moderate bottom heat can be obtained. In about two weeks they will be well rooted, and should then be potted in small pots and ■v'-»-*r«-»T* 1 1 11 1^ I vyjmmiflflF 1674 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Ai'uiL 18, 1907. plunged in a frame, giving plenty of air to prevent their growing "leggy." When well established, pot on into larger sizes, taking care never to allow them to become pot-bound or dry, either of which would tend to make the plants hard-wooded. If only a few strong plants are desired, take only the strong- est center shoots, as these invariably produce the healthiest plants and the largest specimen flowers. The secondary sprouts are not to be despised, as they ■will make good plants. Another method of producing the plant is to take a small piece of the tuber along with the cutting. Nearly all such cuttings will root in a much short- er time and with, less coddling. For the production of our finest specimens in the perennial world, we almost invari- ably turn to the new growths that spring from the old stock. For instance, in the production of our finest chrysanthe- mums, the old stock is utilized simply and solely to furnish the young shoot, and you never see a gardener splitting his last year's clump to use for flower- ing. Geraniums may be wintered in a dormant condition, and the old stock will furnish quantities of blossoms, but never the equal in quality of those from young stock. Why not apply this theory to the dahlia? For producing specimen flow- ers nothing can surpass the stocky, small- stemmed, well-nourished plant. The dislike for plants has sprung largely from three reasons, viz.: The almost certain death of the plant if Mr, Worm decapitates it, the mistake of some dealers in allowing their young stock to become hard-wooded, and the habit of the unscrupulous or ignorant dealer in taking his cuttings in such a manner as to prevent the forming of eyed tubers. If the plant has formed any tuber at all, and has had an oppor- tunity to make roots in its new home, Mr. Worm's operations will not be of serious moment, unless he cuts around the crown of the infant tuber. In pur- chasing plants one must bear in mind that a short, green, healthy looking ar- ticle is far preferable to a larger hard- wooded affair. The poorly started plants may produce good stocky tops, but the base will always be small, leaving but a meagre passage for the transmission of the life-giving sap from the roots to the leaves and flowers above. Probably the most discouraging item is to find when plants are dug in the fall, after a glorious season of flowers, only a few roots and no tuber. Nothing to preserve for the next year. This is caused almost always by improper cut- ting when the slip is made. If cut just below the leaves, allowing enough stem for a shoulder to prevent the lower leaves from dropping, such cuttings will almost invariably form good tubers; but if cut midway between joints, while you may have a splendid growth above ground, the chances are very slim for the underground portion — that is the tuber. Briefly stated, for exhibition flowers use dahlia plants; for quantity of flow- ers use either field roots or pot roots, preferably the former if unable to give the pot roots an early start.

THE VALUE OF FLORISTS' CLUBS. (A paper by J. V. Sullivan, read before the Detroit Florists' ("lub, April :{, 1007.] In view of all that has been said and written in the past on the subject of florists' clubs it might be expected that the value of such organizations would now be so generally admitted as to re- quire no further proof. However, we still find much indifference shown by some of the older florists, and by a still greater number of the more recent ac- cessions to our ranks, toward these so- cieties whose beneficial work is now quite universal and of a most substan- tial character. To those indifferent members of our profession I particularly address myself, and if my words and efforts in this direction will be even remotely the cause of new accessions to club memberships in any part of the country, then I shall feel justified and well repaid for the preparation of this address. In the pursuit of any vocation life is too short for mere superficial efforts, and in this, as in other occupations, all should strive to reach the summit of success, neglecting no stepping-stone, and membership in the florists' club is certainly, to the florist, the most valuable as well as the most accessible means to that end. And all honor is due the chief supporters of the clubs, namely, the broad-minded, progressive-spirited growers or floral artists, who, excelling in their chosen line, come to our open meetings, and, with their cJarefully and thoroughly prepared essays, divulge un- stintedly to their interested hearers the cherished and highly valuable knowledge gained through years of experience, in- volving in some cases many sacrifices. The Necessity of Or^aaization. Who shall question the value of florists' clubs when he remembers those illustrious examples of the persistent good work and zeal of florists' clubs that now, I am glad to note, adorn this country? Organization, then, is the watchword of the day. We see evidences of its effects on all sides, and florists everywhere, particularly the growers, are feeling the effects of the operation of organizations and combinations, which materially advance the cost of all com- ponent parts, articles and materials en- tering into the construction of green- houses and the operation of them. Even labor organizations contribute largely, though indirectly, to the same result. Florists' clubs are by their very nature the legitimate and properly de- signed combinations for accomplishing for their members that which, if left to individual effort, would be impossible. The club 's value to its members lies in the facility it affords for bringing out the very best methods locally known for growing and marketing the crops of the members. The purpose of the florists' clubs is primarily to develop and advance the floricultural industry as locally pre- sented. This is accomplished by the extraordinary facility the club affords for the exchange of experiences of its members by the presentation of essays, and the informal chats that the club meetings invariably bring about between members, so that they individually are far better exponents of the vocation they represent, after a period of association with each other. For it is a noteworthy fact that florists are in these times far better informed, and generally better qualified in their profession, than thoy were prior to the organization and prac- tical operation of florists' clubs through- out the country. I. will go still further, and assert with full confidence that even the leaders* of twenty years ago are today, in their respective lines, still better qualified, and more successful and representative than they formerly were, because, as a rulr the class referred to are always found foremost in the ranks of trade organiza tions. Florists' clubs give a tone and dignity to the calling that truly belongs to it, and add prestige, without which progress and development is necessarily retarded, as witness the condition of the trade in all its branches prior to the inauguration of florists' clubs, over twenty years ago. The prominence given to the industry through the instrumentality of the great flower shows, with the development ol interest in our productions, and the elo vating influence of them, is the direel result of the work of florists' clubs, and the value of the work must be plain U* the most casual observer of the pro gressive stages of the business durinj^ the period following the organization of such clubs. For it is a well-established fact that only the producers of first- class flowers are today assured of a ready market and remunerative prices for their product, at all seasons of the year, and it is self-evident that the wise growers cannot afford to ignore any contributing factor to the end that they may be able invariably to grow first- class stock, and enjoy a compensation commensurate with the skill and labor employed in its production. Benefits to Retailers. Retailers, too, stand in much the same position as that of the growers as to the necessity of seeking all the means within their reach to create a ready market for the final disposition of the stock after it leaves the grower's hands. Upon the retailers devolves the duty, yes, the necessity, of developing in the future a still finer taste for flowers, and en- deavoring, by suggestions and illustra- tive displays, to create more occasions for the use of flowers and plants, thu» increasing the sale of them. All the representatives of this impor- tant branch of the business should highly prize club membership, because it offers them the same advantages that it pre- sents to the growers, and the full extent of those benefits corresponds precisely with the amount of interest taken in the club's proceedings, and the facilities afforded by the latter to inaugurate com- petitive floral displays to the certain in- terest of all concerned. Florists' clubs, composed, as they arc, of the most intelligent, enterprising and progressive men in the community where clubs are located, are the natural results of the highest conceptions of liberal, broad-minded members, who are proven such by their attachment to these or- ganizations, and it is an assured fact that every florist engaged in the indus- try, whether a member of a florists' organization or not, is sharing today, in a relative degree, the benefit of the great work of these societies. Every retail dealer in flowers, as well as every em- ployee, should appreciate the great work these societies are doing; their value is progressive and cumulative as they in- crease in age, being ever watchful as they should be of their opportunities. April 18. 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1675 John F. Sullivan. Every one commercially engaged in flori- culture should be a member of a florists' club, and the greater the membership the greater will be the value of the work accomplished by the organization. Every man possessing even a hotbed devoted to the production of flowers owes it to him- self and to the noble calling he has adopted to equip himself properly with the great fund of valuable knowledge that only membership in a florists' club can impart to him. Employees as Club Members. And while a reference to the em- ployees is not strictly a part of this sub- ject, I cannot refrain from saying that I have always thought, and strongly con- tended, that employees who are eligible to membership in florists' clubs should be admitted, on the payment of dues much lower than those of dealers and employers, and the latter class should gladly welcome them to their ranks, so that the knowledge thus acquired by these employees may be diffused to the advantage of floriculture generally, and the employers particularly. It is indeed deplorable to witness some florists' clerks attempting, without suc- cess, to give to the customers even the proper name of the plants they are sell- ing, and most unfortunate are the re- sults of their efforts to give to the pub- lic the necessary and merely rudimentary cultural instructions for growing the most ordinary house jilants, or the more easily grown bedding varieties. And when their effusions are given to the PTess, as they too frequently are, everj' intelligent, well informed florist is hor- rified and totally disgusted with the perusal of them. Clubs and Business Rivalry The true value of florists' clubs would be materially augmented by a recogni- tion of the following suggestion and the practical operation of it : Prior to the formation of florists ' clubs it was no uncommon occurrence to find the door of many greenhouse establishments se- curely locked against visiting florists, the owner himself being secreted upon the premises and refusing to be seen. The spirit of jealousy, suspicion and deceit was not confined to any one local- ity, either, and such examples of un- friendliness could be found in almost any of the large cities, where now are to be seen flourishing clubs, with many of their members trying to outdo each other in generous, public-spirited acts. Even in our club we have some members who are most enthusiastic and devoted to the promotion of good feeling, who, prior to joining the club, would walk two or three blocks out of their way to avoid passing close to the stores of their competitors. At that time it was easy for any of us to have a grievance against our neighbor florists, and we would give a willing ear to any accusa- tion made against them and would greatly magnify their alleged faults. We Avould freely circulate rumors detri- mental to them, and if an opportunity arose to quote competitive prices one dealer would be sure to undercut the other. But now, thanks to the happy results of our club, which brings us together twice a month, all inimical works and words are bygones, buried deep and never to be resurrected. Then why should we not have a high opinion of the value of the florists' club? The history of florists' clubs is coexistent with that of the parent, and greatest of all floricultural organizations, the Society of American Florists, and the con- tributory support given by the former to the latter organization, by pursuing a similar line of work, adds another ele- ment of value to them and increases the sum total of their intrinsic worth. Future Work of Clubs. A story giving a review of the value of the florists' clubs would not be even fairly complete did it not include a ref- erence to some of the prospective work which is peculiarly their own. and in due time will, I hope, be added to their annual programs everywhere. Among these many phases of contemplated club work arc: The dissemination of au- thentic floricultural information to the public; an active participation in civic improvement work, substantial aid to school classes iu botany and practical garden work. They will, too, always anticipate the demands and inclinations of the public, and never neglect an opportunity, when it arises, to promote in the people a still greater love and admiration of our pro- ductions, and to develop an increasing patronage for our members. Among those future duties I regard as most important the dissemination of floricultural knowledge to the public. Indeed, it is not unreasonable to hope that in the near future every florists' club in the land will increase its scope of usefulness by the maintenance of a bureau for the specific i)urpose of pre- paring seasonable articles giving plain, practical instruction iu the growing of plants and flowers that will insure to those interested pleasurable and success- ful results; and arrangements should be made for the publication of these articles in the local press. For if such articles are carefully prepared, if they have no appearance of serving commer- cial interests, and arc apparently of truly altruistic nature, the press will cheerfully publish them, and the ulti- mate results will certainly be beneficial to the florists. Another opportunity of vast impor- tance now presenting itself to florists' clubs is that of cooperation with the local civic improvement efforts. In such matters the present time is most oppor- tune for the clubs, not only to identify themselves with such work, but actually to lead in it, and when it is considered that the florists alone are the direct pecuniary beneficiaries of this work, so fast becoming popular, it is all the more surprising that the florists ' organiza- tions have not as yet shown much ag- gressiveness in it. Our own club has already taken some initiatory action along these lines, but really effective work can only follow continuous and systematic efforts, and our clubs need apologize to no one for our intervention in this good work, so productive of almost immediate results and constituting an element of rare value. This work might with much propriety extend to efforts, upon our part, to se- cure horticulturists and practical plants- men for our parks and public gardens, and thus to remove from such places the 1676 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Apuil 18, 1907. 1- examples of so much abortive Avork placed there by politicians wrongly oc- cupying these ])08ition8, earing little about the work beyond its remuneration, and too frequently devoid of the knowl- edge necessary to equip them for even the most rudimentary Avork of this nature. It is true that the total eradication or even amelioration of all the ilia that the pursuit of the florist business is sub- ject to, is not contemplated by the most enthusiastic champions of florists ' clubs, for if that were possible, then uninter- rupted success and perfect tranquillity in our chosen work might be purchas- able by the mere payment of our annual dues in these societies. Some Local Evidence. If tlie power and influences of or- ganizations were devoid of proof, or at all lacking in confirmation, I might with perfect propriety point to even one of many examples of it that could be found in the history of our club. On the occasion I refer to it was not neces- sary to lose any time in working up sen- timent to attain the end desired. We were already organized and the neces- sary spirit of kindness toward each other was there, on top of it, as it were, and the occasion only was needed to give a practical demonstration of it. It was less than two years ago that one of our members was about to erect a fine store and office building; we con- sidered that the accomplishment of that enterprising project would stand as a monument to the floral industry, and that, locally, it would be an illustrative testimonial of the great possibilities open to others thus engaged, and that the dignity of the calling would be forcibly impressed upon the public by witnessing such an achievement. The club accordingly took full charge of the ceremonies attending the laying of the cornerstone, July 1:9, 190.5. It afl'ords me great pleasure to say that on that occasion nearly every member of the chib was present and shared with our fellow member the great enjoyment of the unusual, but important event. This demonstration of unselfish com- munity of interests, I should not hesi- tate to declare, never had a parallel in the history of trade organizations, and the emulation by other clubs of the cor- dial spirit shown by the members on that occasion would add immensely to the value of clubs in general. About two years ago a florists' club was organized in a near-by city. At that time there was jealousy, distrust and much vindictiveness among the florists there, and at first it was thought useless to attempt organization, so deep-seated and openl;- pronounced was the general discord. However, a few of the more progressive and broad-minded undertook the formidable and apparently hopeless task, and were much encouraged by a timely visit of the Detroit Club in a body to the scene of their efforts, and soon thereafter an organization was effected which has already accomplished much good work. One of their meet- ings and exhibitions, held a month ago, was so successful that it required two columns of the trade papers to describe the many valuable and entertaining fea- tures of it. and it is needless to say that none of the members any longer questions tl»e value of the florists' clubs. A national flower show was recently projected by the S. A. F. and a guar- antee fund was required. Immediately upon the announcement of the enterprise guarantors came forward with subscrip- tions amounting to over $8,000 ; the total amount required, $10,000, is almost in sight, and the names of all the guar- antors can be invariably found in the florists ' clubs ' memberships throughout the country. Again, the result of or- ganization. In the state of Illinois at the present time the florists' organizations are se- curing an appropriation of $15,000 for experimental purposes in their direct in- terests. Individual efforts could not se- cure one dollar for the same purpose. Many similar cases may be related cov- ering examples of the clubs' successful work throughout the whole country, all confirmatory of their great vakie. Importance of Attending Meetings. A large attendance at the meetings is not only necessary to bring out the greatest usefulness of a club, but is really essential to its very existence. The frequency of attendance at the meetings will serve each time to further extend the acquaintance and cement the mutual friendship, inspiring an inter- change of almost implicit confidence in the total membership, and when a time arises calling for the prompt action of a united body of men, no time need be lost by a campaign of education along lines of our duty as intelligent, progres- sive and enterprising florists. True, it may sometimes call for some individual sacrifice to maintain this high code of worthy practice in our club, as on occasions when the evening program does not appear attractive. The essay to be read treats, perhaps, of a subject in which the florist is not vitally inter- ested, and he is accordingly prompted to remain away. Don't do it. Come to the meeting, and by your presence, if not by your participation or even pass- ing interest in the discussion, give en- couragement to the essayist who has himself given hours to the preparation of his article for the benefit of all who may hear it. I contend that it is really impossible for the florists to meet continuously, as they do in their club rooms, without ac- quiring a far better understanding of each other, which often ripens into deep- est friendship. It is a great mistake to think that your monetary support of the club will secure for either yourself or the society the full measure of benefit that it is possible to receive by your l>rompt and regular attendance at the meetings. I would rather witness the presence of a full membership at the meetings than the payment by each absent member of a fee equal to the total amount of his yearly dues. For what benefit would the money thus secured be, if we did not have inter- ested members, to appropriate properly the club funds for the most advantage- ous furtherance of its purposes? The power and influence of a united and enthusiastic membership is lost, when a weakness is unwittingly engendered by the apathy of its members who fail to attend the meetings regularly or even frequently. It is generally noticeable that those who are prone to stay away from the meetings are the ones who stand most in need of the benefits that the club can impart to them. The full measure of a club's value cannot be brought about without a complete representation of the membership at the meetings. However unattractive the program of the evening may be, if the members present are fully representative of the club's strength, the mere assembling of them for par- ticipation in the proceedings cannot fail to further strengthen the good fellow- ship among the members, and I hope the time is not far distant when the real significance of our organizations will be so universally recognized that any one engaged in the business, even as an em- ployee, will be very reluctant to ac- knowledge that he is not a member of both the local club and the Society of American Florists. All florists truly de- voted to the advancement of the busi- ness should hope and work for a greater number of florists ' clubs in this country, and should materially aid them to still greater increase their value to the trade, as unquestionably all work of this char- acter contributes essentially to the dig- nity of our profession and the commer- cial importance of it. In conclusion I wish to congratulate the Detroit Florists' Club upon its many achievements during its brief history of nine years. And the most important of our club's attributes, I believe, is the feeling of extraordinary good fellowship that exists always between us, and per- mits us to carry to a successful issue whatever we undertake. THE WHITE FLY AGAIN. Have they discovered anything that will kill the white fly? I would be grate- ful for a good remedy. Utica. This little insect repeatedly has been written up in the columns of the Keview. Fumigation with tobacco in any form is futile and as for liquid forms of nico- tine, it is impossible to cover every part of a plant. The simple and effectual use of hydrocyanic acid gas seems the only sure destroyer of this troublesome creature. Many florists are afraid to liberate this gas in their houses, having read of some losses. The formula here recommended is perfectly safe, will in- jure no plant and is death to all creatures that have lungs. Scale or mealy bug it has no effect on. The formula is largely based on Wm. Scott 's many experiments. Here is what he has found best: One pint of water; one pint of sulphuric acid. Place these two in a stone jar. One-gallon jars are good. The acid will eat through tin, galvanized iron or fiber vessels. At sunset put into each jar you use two and one-half ounces of cyanide of potassium. The combina- tion of the cyanide with the acid gen- erates a deadly gas which stops the work of lungs, but is harmless to the vegetable kingdom. This quantity is for every 1,000 cubic feet of atmosphere in the house; keep the house closed all night. Don't think you can improve on this by doubling the quantities and making one jar do for 2,000 cubic feet of at- mosphere. That would be a mistake. Equalize the gas as much as possible through the house. To find out the cubic feet of atmosphere in a house may seem a little troublesome, yet it is simple. Find out how many superficial feet there are in the gable end of your house and multiply this by its length and you have the cubic amount. There is one point left. This gas will kill all fully developed insects, but it will not kill the eggs, so the dose must be repeated two weeks after the first to APHIL 18, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1677 insure a complete destruction of the lit- tje fly. Buy your cyanide in little par- cels of two and one-half ounces each, so that they are convenient to drop into rach jar, and when the last of the ,-vanide is dropped get yourself out of the house. Don't stop to light your iiipe. NEWPORT, R. I. Various Notes. Wadley & Smythe have purchased the Newport Nurseries from Capt. J. P. Cot- ton. These nurseries are located on Vernon avenue. The location is an ideal one for the purpose of Wadley & Smythe 's business. There are in these uurseries a great number of hanasome .specimen evergreens. Mr. Smythe was desirous of holding these for use a year from now, on several large estates where he is doing landscape work on an ex- tensive scale. The Fadden store, on Bellevue avenue, is closed and this firm, which has carried on a cut flower business in Newport for over forty years, is out of existence. V. A. Vanicek, of the Rhode Island Nursery, received a large consignment of plants from Europe this week. Mr. Vanicek has a number of large wholesale orders booked for early delivery. Although there are not as many grow- ing chrysanthemums in Newport as there were at one time, we have in the person of William Miller, assistant at the Van- derbilt greenhouses, as good a grower as ever there was in Newport, lur. Miller has sole charge of the chrysanthemums, of which he annually grows a large num- ber, making a specialty of plants in 6- inch pots. Newport dahlia growers are hard to beat. The climate and soil may favor them considerably, but certain it is that they can produce splendid dahlias. In former years the private gardeners went in heavily for collections of the cactus type, but many of them found that han- dicapped them in their work of supply- ing their employers with sufficient cut blooms of the few standard varieties adapted for cut flower work, and for that reason they are now growing larger num- bers of the best varieties of cactus and decorative types. The well known deco- rative dahlia, Katherine Duer, was raised by William Allan, gardener for Dr. Jacobs. This dahlia is unsurpassed in color and form for making up; it is in great demand in Newport for table deco- ration. Nymphsea is another variety largely made use of in Newport for the same purpose. Mr. Dennis Leary, for over twenty years in the employ of the J. M. Hodgson Co., has severed his connection with that firm and is now with Bruce Butterton, i't the E. J. Berwind place. Gibson Bros, are doing a good business in their new store on Washington square. A formal garden of the so-called Ital- ian order, laid out in beds of geometrical design, planted with evergreens, will be something of a novelty. The garden at Clarendon Court, on Bellevue avenue, the residence of E. C, Knight, Jr., will be planted with small evergreens. Daily consignments of Winsor carna- tions are arriving in Newport for com- mercial growers and private gardeners. \Ir. Pierson is also shipping here quite ^ number of his new cannas, particularly Tarrytown. Tuberous begonia growing is reviving in Newport. There are quite a number grown for house decoration in pots. Among the many prizes in the Horticul- tural Society's schedule for the June show are three for tuberous begonias. Nephrolepis Whitmani has so far stood the test as to retaining its distinctness better than either of the other two of the improved form of N. Bostoniensis. Of all the plants I have seen in Newport, I have not found one that shows revert- ing. Hydrangeas covered with soil outdoors all winter have suffered severely in many places. Max Reilly. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. The weather conditions during the last week could not have been worse, being both cold and cloudy; in consequence all stock has suffered both in quantity and quality.

There was a good attendance and many were here from out of town. The cut flowers were extra good, those attracting special notice being a fine lot of After- glow and Aristocrat, and a white rose, Frau Karl Druschki. Potted plants were scarce, owing to the hot weather ex- perienced two weeks ago. In the even- ing a short meeting was held and it was decided to hold a fall show, and as there will be no chrysanthemum show here, the society's effort should be a success, as it will fill up the gap. It was the gen- eral opinion of all present that these shows tend to keep the public interested. The following awards were made by the judges, Messrs. Junge, Eieman and Hat- field: Two pans tulips, M. Nelson, Indian- apolis, second; no first. Two spiraeas, M. Nelson, first. Display of plants, twenty-four square feet, J. Grande, Indianapolis, first. Twelve white roses, the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., first, with Frau Karl Druschki; Smith & Young Co., Indian- apolis, second, with Bride. Twelve pink roses.

The annual installation of officers of the Tri-City Florists' Association was held Thursday evening, April 11, at Fejervary park, and one of the most successful and enjoyable meetings of the year was held. It was ladies ' night and a large number were present. John T. Temple, retiring president of the asso- ciation, was the installing officer and the following were seated: President, Wil- liam Knees, of Moline; vice-presidents, Henry Pauli, of Davenport; Henry Meyer, of Rock Island, and Julius Staack, of Moline; secretary, John Staack, of Moline; treasurer, Adolph Arp, of Davenport; financial secretary, Theo. Ewoldt, of Davenport; trustees, Peter Becker, Frank Wolz and Henry Gaethje. After the new officers took their places John Temple gave an address and William Knees responded. Five-minute talks were given by the other new offi- cers. The discussion during the evening was on ' ' The Most Profitable Plants for the Spring Trade." Following this sup- per was served. The next meeting will be with Henry Meyer, of Rock Island. The topic for discussion will be ' * Peony Culture. ' ' Sharon, Pa. — C. B.

CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The Chicago market is known far and wide for its violent fluctuations. "When j)rices are on the topmost pinnacle it often is but a matter of hours until they are at the foot of the toboggan; and last week the ascent was of equal celer- ity. The cool weather following Easter had produced little apparent effect in .size of crops until Thursday, April 11. The next day found receipts reduced at least one-half and it also found most of the wholesale houses with many thousand- lot orders for Friday shipment which it Mas impossible for them to fill. The market was firm in all departments. Top prices did not advance to any marked extent, but there was no longer need of any sacrifice sales, so that average prices received the latter part of the week were a wonderful improvement over those re- corded the first of the week and the preceding week. Monday found the market with in- creased supplies of stock and a brisk demand. The telegraph orders made it apparent that the cold weather has short- ened crops everywhere through the Chi- V T^T^ V^V ^^lA/F^^^d ^^^ stock in fine condition. Special good cuts of Roses.

John Degnan announced that from now to convention time there will be bowling at Mussey's alleys, Dearborn and Madison streets, every Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. Vaughan 's Seed Store exhibited Azalea Yodogawa, a beautiful Japanese sort, and the pink spiraea, Peachblossom ; also a fine Azalea Mollis. Ahead of the Demand. In the matter of this season's crop of white lilac, now nearing an end, the A. L. Eandall Co. has been well ahead of the demand. The crop has brought a better average price than in any pre- vious year. As soon as it was known when the first lot would be ready the date was advertised, so that retailers could know in advance when the lilac would be available. The result was that advance orders were booked for about all the first lot. Pursuing this line, the supply was never greater than the de- mand and prices were held firm all sea- son. It never is easy to put prices up after a congestion has forced them down. Foley's Two Factories. Pretty nearly any one would be satis- fied to run just one greenhouse material mill, but for the next fortnight the Foley Mfg. Co. will run two. After vexatious delays the new building is ready for occupancy, at just about the busiest season. So one machine is being taken down at a time and set running in the new location, thus keeping two factories going instead of one and turn- ing out orders as usual. The work of removal is expected to be completed about May 1. Reinberg's Orchids. George Beinberg has received a part of his shijvnent of orchid plants from the Julius Eoehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J. The shipment consisted of fifty less than half the number of plants ordered and it made a solid carload. Another car is expected in a few days. Sweet Peas aod ** Spinach.'^ One of E. C. Amling's growers, who has been sending in sweet peas ever since the first of the year, is approaching the end of his crop, with the result that the stems are too short to be salable.

He therefore cuts each flower with fif- teen inches to eighteen inches of the vine and bunches peas, "spinach" and all. It may not sound very good, but the re- tailers take all offerings and call for more at prices which make the "spin- ach" a decidedly profitable part of the crop. They say that not only does the vine suflSce for stem, but the green saves much work. Kennicott's New Store. Kennicott Bros. Co. is now nicely in- stalled in its new quarters at 48 and 50 Wabash avenue. The cut flower depart- ment is along the front, the ofl5ce in the middle of the store and the wire work department at the rear. On first enter- ing everyone is surprised at the size of the store. The basement extends under the street on two sides and there is con- siderably more fioor space than in the old quarters on Randolph street. The light is excellent in the cut flower department, the room is cool and excellently adapted to the purpose. Rudd's Seedlings to G>me Out. J. E.

Wienhoeber, who also is treasurer, occupied the chair at the quarterly meeting of the Horticul- tural Society, at 13 Congress street, April 12. Much of the time was de- voted to the details of issuing some forty medals already awarded, the dies now being ready. It developed that if the horse show is abandoned this year the flower show will be a bigger society feature than ever; but the horse show people have an option on the Coliseum for the only open week in November and have not decided whether or not to give way to the flower show. The executive committee will hold a meeting at 13 Congress street Friday afternoon, April 19, at three o'clock. Various Notci. O. Johnson has retired from the firm of Kruchton & Johnson. The business hereafter will be conducted by John J. Kruchten. Advices from Sarcoxie, Mo., are to the effect that peony shipments will begin the latter part of the current week. No word has been received from southern Illinois, but it is thought the cold weather has had no effect on the local peonies. There was a big display of flowers at the council chamber Monday night, when the new mayor and aldermen took their seats. In recent years flowers have been barred from the council chamber on these occasions, but this was the first time a republican mayor has been installed in ten years and a change in this custom as well as others was in order. Henry Klunder made for the post-office em- ployees the big floral mail-box which stood at the mayor's right. E. Wienhoeber Co. had the decoration at the Fourth Presbyterian church for the funeral of James H. Eckels on the afternoon of April 16. There was a large amount of work for this occasion, dis- tributed among a large number of re- tailers, for Mr. Eckels was widely con- nected. Many telegraphic orders were received from New York and other cities. Wietor Bros, are cutting some fine Kate Moulton roses. The color is ex- quisite. A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry, has purchased and moved into a new home at Oak Park. Jj. Baumann & Co. are making steady growth and recently have enlarged their quarters at 78 and 80 Wabash avenue, above Bassett & Washburn and E. H. Hunt. Bassett & Washburn report an excel- lent April business. C. L. Washburn says it has been as good as they possibly could ask. Jensen & Dekema have acquired an interest in W. N. Kudd's light pink and scarlet seedling carnations, which are to be sent out next year. Percy Jones says that every one at the Growers' Market has been selling out promptly since April 12. Poehlmann Bros. Co. says that the cold weather has not affected rose crops to any considerable degree, but carnations have shortened up materially. Under the new organization of the city council, Alderman Keinberg will be Kept busy. He is a member of the com- mittees on finance, judiciary, light, streets and alleys and of the special com- mittee on compensation. Last Saturday the Chicago Eose Co. had on exhibitibii three vases of Queen Beatrice roses sent by F. H. Kramer from Washington. Many of the local growers called to see it, having been no- tified by Mr. Kramer that it would be on exhibition. The variety is a cross of Liberty and Chatenay, much resembling the latter, and is to be distributed next season. It is stated that George Collins has abandoned, at least for the present, his plan of going into business for himself. As recently reported in the Review, Mr. Collins had formed a partnership with a board of trade man named Powell and bought property for a range of green- houses near Batavia, 111. They also had ordered material for the houses, but fail- ing to find water on the property they canceled the orders. Visitors this week included George T. Elliott and George C. Harbison, of Brighton, Mass. Frank Garland, at Des Plaines, will soon start tearing down five of his oldest houses and replacing them with two new high structures, each 41x150. He will employ iron posts and a form of truss construction to do away with purlin sup- ports. He will use his own make of cement bench; he is building for pos- terity in this respect. He says he ex- pects to plant roses on the benches be- fore the houses are completed.

A •lelegation of Chicago florists will lend distinction to the occasion and there will be elaborate floral decorations. The grand opera season made quite a little good work for the leading retailers, most of it for luncheon and dinner decorations. Hauswirth, in the Annex and just across the street from the theater, was kept busy. A little-seen flower is Allium Neapol- itanum, of which C. W. McKellar has been handling a few. The odor is against it. From the number of azaleas seen in the stores the last two weeks it appears that a good many must have failed of a sale at Easter. Evanston papers report that P. M. Broadbeck is investing $5,000 in new glass this season. M. Bloy, who has been in charge of Gasser's Bocky Biver plant, is here from Cleveland on a visit. West Chester, Pa. — The Jacobs Nitro-Culture Co. is erecting a large greenhouse. Lowell, Mass. — Morse & Beals have had a large spring season since Easter. They decorated for the Dempsey, Meigs and Chadwick receptions, the three largest Lowell has seen for some years. Meadville, Pa. — George W. Haas & Son report that business this year is bet- ter than ever before, especially at Easter, when the volume of sales was fifty per cent ahead of last year. All flowering plants sold well. CINQNNATL The Market. It would seem that winter does not want to let go its hold this year, as dur- ing the last week we have been having temperature Delow freezing every night. Much damage has been done to all out- door growing things. With the excep- tion of apples the fruit crop here will be almost a total failure. Outdoor flow- ers have suffered in proportion. The green leaves that were on the lilac bushes and other shrubs have turned brown and shriveled, and the buds are hanging down like rags, all of the life frozen out of them. Even the foliage on large trees, such as the elm and the maple, has been frozen. The weather man is promising us warmer temperatures now, and it is to be hoped that he knows what he is talk- ing about. What effect this cold spell will have upon business is hard to say, but with all of the outdoor stock out of the way, and with the scarcity of indoor stock which is bound to result, it ought to make things pretty lively, with prices good and the supply scarcely equal to the demand. At present business is nothing extra, the demand being spasmodic, but there is a gradual tendency toward a rise in the prices of all flowers. The supply has let down considerably. Easter lilies are still in oversupply, but it appears that within a few days they also will be good property. So, taking all things into con- sideration, it would look as if the next few weeks would bring forth some first- class business. Various Notes. Erank Huntsman brought in a few crimson seedling carnations from his Kentucky range and several of them showed much prorftise. One ^hich was almost identical with Victory showed signs of being a comer. Another, after the type of Dorothy, is of good color and from all accounts is a great bloomer and a money-maker. During a severe wind storm last week B. P. Critchell's greenhouses in Avon- dale were damaged to the extent of some eight to ten boxes of glass. Mr. Critchell says that for a time it looked as if the entire plant would be wrecked. No dam- age is reported from other quarters. April 11 saw the opening of the base- ball season in this city. The writer could not withstand the temptation to be pres- ent, in spite of the cold weather, and among the florists there he saw Julius Baer, C. E. Critchell, William Murphy and Ed Murphy. Our little second base- man, Miller Huggins, was presented with a mammoth bunch of American Beauties which came from Mr. Baer's store. C. H. Maynard and wife, of Detroit, were in this city on their way home from a visit near Asheville, N. C. C. J. Ohmer. NoRRiSTOWN, Pa. — On March 9 Wm. H. Catanese opened a new flower store at 138 West Main street. He has in- creasing success in business. Greens Farms, Conn. — E. J. Taylor has in course of erection another green- house, making in all thirty-four houses. He is one of the most successful grow- ers of this vicinity.

Smithers place, exhib- ited fine Victory carnations, and three superb heads of lettuce. Charles Lenker, of Freeport, showed fine sweet peas, and James Holloway a variety of double wallflowers. The chief topic of discussion was the spraying of trees for the prevention of the San Jose scale. Opinion was equally divided between the lime, sulphur and salt solution, and the kerosene emulsions. The annual fall exhibition was dis- cussed. It has been decided to keep the exhibition open three days this year in- stead of two. The dates chosen are No- vember 6 to 8. PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. The supply of flowers coming into the market has been materially decreased by the unusually cold weather at the close of last and the beginning of the present week. The demand is about the same as it was one week ago. There is a fair amount of shipping of the better grades of many varieties of flowers, and a fair local demand, but business has not much snap and there is considerable stock left for the street men, who make heroic efforts to dispose of it. The features of the market are the improved demand for colored carnations, the best Enchantress advancing to the high-water mark made a week ago by the best white. So active was the de- mand that even the lower grades ad- vanced in all colored varieties. Sweet peas continue popular, the choice flowers selling at good prices.

Valley is selling well, but there is no market for either Easter or calla lilies, except on rare oc- casions. Daisies are greatly improved in quality. There is a fair demand for both yellow and the finer white. Gardenias are in oversupply. Cattleyas continue scarce. C. Skinneri has made its appear- ance. Daffodils are of good quality, the single variety Emperor being especially fine. Southern shipments are reaching here in much better condition and prices have advanced sharply on all salable stock. Tulips are also coming in from the south. Some have excellent flowers, but are short in stem. Smilax continues scarce, with prices at high-water mark. Asparagus plumosus is plentiful and in brisk demand. Ferns are still scarce, also wild smilax. Regarding roses, Beauties are now low enough in price to attract the moderate buyers. In fact, they are as good value as anything on the market at present quotations. The supply has shortened slightly. Some extra fine Richmond are coming in. Liberty, Bride and Maid are also of good quality. Short-stemmed roses are still too plentiful. Dreer's Nurseries. The new propagating house was finished and hard at work, the benches filled with clean sand, tbe sand filled with healthy cuttings — dahlias, if memory tells truly. The way they put up the houses at Riverton would puzzle the ordinary florist. It puzzles Phil. About the middle of winter a new house or range is decided on. The posts go in during a mild spell — good, sound, locust posts. Trees from poor ground give posts that a saw won't cut easily after APRIL 18, 1907.

Then the house goes up in any kind of ^veather and by spring all is ready. It i.s wonderful. The fern range, Mr. Clark's special 'liarge, contains some novelties in the prolific nephrolepis family. N. Clarkii is a sport from N. Whitmani, I think; a \ cry pretty thing, evidently quite distinct to the experts, but the tyro required time '">r study to make sure that character "light be clearly comprehended. The specimen was graceful and very pretty. \. gracillimum is the new variety to be ^ent out by H. H. Barrows & Son, of Whitman, Mass. It, too, is very pretty. '\'. Whitmani and N. Scottii are planted •Hit in quantity for runners. Of the former, an order has been booked for twenty-five plants to be grown as large •IS possible by September. They are now '^n pedestals, nice plants in 10-inch pans. They say at Biverton that the house for Adiantum Farleyense is all right. The plants endorse this statement, no doubt, but the man is behind the guns, you know; don't forget the man behind the guns. Pteris Wilsoni is considered the star of the pteris family for fern dishes. It is grown in immense numbers, the seedlings pricked off in flats alone filling a side bench. The kentia houses were a pretty pic- ture. Here Mr. Ruppert picked out a sample plant to be the companion of his travels. I wish you could see that plant. It is a beauty, but unfortunately there was not another quite equal to it in Riv- erton or probably anywhere else. It was condemned for being too good and sor- rowfully replaced by Mr. Ruppert. Orders must be true to sample. You must look for that kentia wnen you go to Riverton and you also must look for the eleven plants of Verschaffeltii splen- dens with their queen in the center. Various Notes. J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the Henry A. Dreer Co., will address the Florists' Club May 7 at Horticultural hall. His subject will be "The Organization and Equipment of a Modern Horticultural Establishment. ' ' Alfred Burton entertained the di- rectors of the Flower Market at dinner at his home in Wyndmoor Tuesday even- ing of last week. Mrs. Edgar, of Twenty-third street and Ridge avenue, has sold her retail business to a Mr. McGrath. One of our most prominent retailers says that one of his earliest recollections is of a Boston rose grower who shipped Bon Silene, Safrano and a few La Marque to his father's store regularly, explaining that in order to have enough roses in winter he was obliged to have twice as many as he needed in spring and fall. Those conditions existed then and they exist now. A pleasant meeting occurred in the S. S. Pennock-Meehan place on Ludlow street last Monday, when Stephen Mor- tensen and John Jensen, both natives of Denmark, met after many years. One is successful as a grower, the other as a retailer. Both are hard workers. M. Rice & Co. have exclusive control of a very neat cemetery vase. The vase is about 4x7 inches, supported by a stand that can be firmly set in the ground. It is practical and inexpensive. Wm. P. Reilly is doing a nice busi- ness at 3005 Kensington avenue. The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving choice single daffodils, also lavender and pale pink sweet peas. Berger Bros, are now fully established in their new quarters, which have a bright, business-like appearance. The S. S. PennockvMoehan Co. is hav- ing a run on lavender, sweet peas and wild smilax. W. E. McKissick is receiving lupinus in several colors, a very pretty thing. David Rust, the popular secretary of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, happened in fumigating day in the Beauty houses at Wyndmoor. Henry Bauer's many friends have greatly missed him from 108.

Ans. — They will grow faster in a raised bench than on the ground. Phil. Glencoe, III. — John M. Bell has got- ten out a large size, souvenir post card which he is mailing to his patrons. Springfield, III. — A meeting of the Springfield Florists' Club was held April 9 in A. C. Brown's store. By-laws were adopted and other work toward the com- pletion of the organization was accom- plished. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Trade for the last week has not been especially satisfactory. While there is a spurt now and then, with funeral work, a wedding or two, and dinners, we are not what one would term busy. The growers and nurserymen are the ones who are busy at present, and even they were cut oflE by the cold weather we had last week. At the wholesale houses stock is not so plentiful as a week ago. April 15 con- signments were small and only about half the standing orders are being filled. Of course, this state of affairs brought prices up a little and put a stop to job lot sales. There are some fine shipments of roses coming in. Long Beauties have been selling cheaply. White and En- chantress carnations have the call, but fancy Lawson, Fisher and Prosperity meet with good sale. The wholesalers are looking for a scarcity in these for the next ten days. Harrisii and callas were overplentiful last week and cheap in price. A good supply of lily of the valley is in the market. Other bulbous stock is scarce and so are sweet peas, for which there is quite a demand. Common ferns are poor and higher in price. Smilax is coming in better. Florists' Club Meeting:. The monthly meeting of the St. Louis Florists ' Club was held in the new rooms in the Burlington building, 810 Olive street, on the afternoon of April 11. Twenty members attended and were de- lighted with the new quarters. This being our annual rose meeting, several vases' of extra fine blooms were on ex- hibition. J. F. Ammann, of Edwards ville, showed exceptionally fine Richmond, Chatenay, Killarney, Ivory and Bride. Walter Weber, of H. J. Weber & Sods, showed vases of excellent Chatenay an ! Eichmond, and a mixed vase. The Mir. neapolis Floral Co., of Minneapolis, ser.r a large exhibit of Miss Kate Moultoi , which came in for much admiration. Vice-president John Connon preside most capably. The trustees reported tha they will hold a meeting and make earl, announcement as to what kind of enter tainment they will give for the member to celebrate the club's twentieth ann; versary.

Harry '^ung, speaking for the retail trade, •'id that in plants and cut flowers trade ■'-ver was better. Lily plants became I arce early, owing to the waste early in <'ae month. Baby Ramblers did not sell well. George Angermueller spoke for the wholesalers and said that Saturday and Sunday everything sold clean, but before that time everything was a glut and prices away down. Various Notes. W. F. Dwyer, representing the Heim Carnation Support Co., Connersville, Ind., spent a few days here visiting carnation growers. Mr. Dwyer demonstrated the support at the club meeting last week. Julius Koenig has left the employ of H. G. Beming. A meeting was held Monday night by the Engelmann Botanical Club, room 217 Central high school, when Dr. Perley Spaulding lectured on an "Account of the Progress of Botany in St. Louis. ' ' The attendance was large, mostly made up by the members of the club. The club will hold a flower show sometime this month or early in May, as they do every year. Grimm & Gorley, who conduct a floral establishment at 1510 Cass avenue, and also a jewelry store next door, were robbed Wednesday night in uotti of their stores to the amount of $1,000. William Bouche, the landscape gar- dener, has a big job on his hands and is laying out Kingbury boulevard from Kings Highway west. A big force al- ready is at work planting out trees and shrubs. The task of restoring Forest park by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. is now being pushed to completion. Ac- cording to Secretary Walter B. Stevens between 7,000 and 8,000 trees have been planted, also 30,000 shrubs on the expo- sition site and 6,000 trees and 20,000 more shrubs will be planted by Autumn, when the grounds will be turned over to the park department. The executive committee of the St. Louis Horticultural Society has changed to night meetings, as most of its mem- bers cannot attend in the afternoons.

Higgins, of Springfield, Mass., is a strong advocate of judicious adver- tising and attributes most of his suc- cess to it. His stunning new wagon caused quite a sensation when put on the street at Easter. Mark Aitken, of Springfield, Mass., says his auto at Easter answered for two teams, scooting around town. The mild weather made the task of delivering a pleasure. M. Cooley, of Mittineague, Mass., was a heavy buyer of carnations last week at Frank Burfitt's place, where can be seen a fine specimen of Limonium trifo- liatum in full fruit. It is the property of Senator Trask and highly valued by him. Mark Aitken, of Springfield, Mass., had great success with the double scar- let thorn purchased from Bobbink & Atkins, who import large numbers an- nually. John Moyan, the grower, reports a larger demand for flowering plants than ever before. W. Schlatter & Son, of Springfield, Mass., have a fine lot of Hydrangea Otaksa growing at Chicopee Falls. Os- terman & Steele have a big batch of geraniums, well grown, at the same vil- lage. James Beach, at South Hadley Falls, thinks of taking in several acres sur- rounding his valuable property. Dame Fortune has been very kind to friend Jim. Louis Hancock, of Burlington, N. J., when I called had just returned from making his daily trip to Leo Niessen, of Philadelphia, to whom he has consigned for some years. Cuts of carnations at Easter broke the record. M. I. O'Brien, of Sharon, says it pays to advertise judiciously. He proveid it recently by putting in the same adv. in two trade papers; says he received just twice the number of replies from the Florists' Beview that he did from the other.

GREENFLY ON LETTUCE. Please name some good exterminator of lice on lettuce. We have used tobacco without success. C. G. C. I know of no safer means than tobacco for the destruction of greenfly, which I take to be what the correspondent means V)y lice. I use the yellow powdered article, specially prepared for smoMcg. It is clean, easily used and eff ectivg .,iji my experience. Our houses are twenty feet wide and to every fifty feet of house \ve use three pounds of tobacco dust. To kindle it we simply lay on the floor a handful of excelsior, spreading it out so that the dust can be laid on top of it, so as to allow the excelsior to project a little all the way around. When a match is applied to the excelsior in three or four diflferent places, the tobacco is ignited all around the edges of the pile and burns slowly, keeping the house lilled with smoke for the greater part of The night. With this we have no trouble keeping greenfly down, but we are very ' areful to apply the smoke on the first ;^igns of its presence in the house. If it 1^ allowed to run until the plants are "adly infected, it is quite a hard matter *o get the fly under control, but smoking ■or three or four nights in succession vill get rid of it, even if the house is ■i''tty badly infested.

Up to April 13 fifty-three ears of strawberries and fifteen cars of radishes had been shipped from the district, passing through Mont- gomery, where they were re-iced en route mostly to the cities of the middle west. According to an ofticial of the Louis- ville & Nashville railroad, three years {fgo the railroad put agents into this field for the purpose of fostering the growth of vegetables, berries and fruits. The industries have been carefully nur- tured, and during the first two years the rasults were comparatively light, but with this season the entire section has taken on the air of unlimited prosperity. The shipnieiit.s this season are several times what they were last year at this time. Some idea of the value of the indus- tries can be gained from the fact that people of this eeetion are now being paid from $500 to $1,000 for a carload of radishes, and $1,200 for a car of straw- berries, this being the price paid for the products on the track by commission agents who are there ready to take the goods. It is expected that during the season at least 300 cars of perishable stuff will have been shipped from the Mobile and Montgomery division. Among the later products will be tomatoes, canteloupes, watermelons, beans and peaches. The zone of this activity extends from Greenville south to Bay Minette, includ- ing Boiling, Garland, Owassa, Evergreen, Sparta, Marble, Castleberry, Brewton, Canoe, Atmore and Kobertsdale, Sum- merdale and Fooley on the Bay ^linetto & Fort Morgan railroad. I LIKE the Keview^ best of all; it is very interesting and instructive. — LuD- wio ZiMMER, St. Louis, Mo. VEGETABLE PLANTS 100 1000 LETTUCE.

NOTTINGHAM, N. H. L. E. Williams says this has been the longest and coldest winter for years. April 9 this region was covered by a raging snow storm. He believes, from present indications, that we shall have a very late spring. It is hard, he con- tinues, for our brethren farther south to realize that up here there are two feet of snow on the ground in the woods, and that the ground is still frozen hard. They should not be disappointed if their orders from this section should be later than usual in arriving. Battle Creek, Mich. — There was a hard hail storm here March 20. C. ('.

Seed Trade News. AMEBICAN SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION. res., Henry W. Wood, Richmond, Va.; First Vlce-Pres., Charles Burge, Toledo, O.; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 25th annual meeting iwlll be held at New York City, June, 1907 The call for tomato seeds, usually pretty vceU satisfied by this date, is not abating as rapidly as it ordinarily does. The freakish spring weather is caus- ing as much dissatisfaction in seed cir- cles as in the free distribution of "new and rare varieties. ' ' Tomato, i>epper and all other plants that are grown by gardeners in hotbeds are dropping away from lack of sun and a replanting is necessary in many cases. The few left-over lots of onion sets seem to be growing larger as the season advances. This would be all right if they were in the ground, instead of in the re- tailers' hands. Seeding for onion sets at Chicago, which was progressing so finely three weeks or more ago, is now at a standstill and the growers are beginning to wonder where they will land. Oats and potatoes that were purchased by the catalogue men against anticipated orders are not moving off very fast; and the worst of it is that the season for planting these articles has almost passed. The business in insecticides is of con- stantly increasing importance to all seedsmen. As general appreciation of the value of spraying grows with the public, this department is sure to take on large proportions. ^ The pea and bean growers are still out hustling for acreage. They are in the optimistic class. Hope for the future is their main asset and as they do not have to pay a high rate of interest on it there is no reason for scrimping. Much onion seed was planted during the fine weather of the end of March and the planters are anxiously awaiting the outcome. It is feared that the seed will hardly have sufficient strength to with- stand the long continued unfavorable weather. Already there are signs that the great middle west may step into the breach and make a strong effort to produce what have heretofore been termed Pacific coast seeds. It is well enough known that all of these seeds can be produced in the Mississippi valley provided the additional cost of production would be stood for until the thing got fairly going. "CouxTER trade is reported almost dead. Fill-in business with the whole- salers begins to run behind. The market gardeners are doing little and mail trade is not reported as flourishing. ' ' This is the rather pessimistic report made April 16 by a Chicago house, but ' * things are likely to change for the better soon and in a week or two we will likely for- get all about it." At Peoria, HI., Joseph Szold & Son's department store has been giving away tuberose, gladiolus and caladium bulbs and canna roots as premiums with each purchase of $1 or more, "enough for a complete flower garden."

A fine specimen of, Neph- rolepis Whitmani, shown by the Park Nursery Co., took first prize and at- tracted general attention. Kobert Pegg, as manager of the show, and William Murrell, as secretary of the show committee, were especially active and tireless in pushing the enterprise to success.

Flowers are plentiful and cheap for the first time in many months. The continued warm weather has brought everything into blossom in a rush and the price of roses, carnations and every- thing else in the flower line haa dropped at least fifty per cent. The long weeks of dark weather we had during the months of February and March kept stock back so far that when the warm days and nights arrived everything went with a rush. Peonies of the deciduous variety have made their appearance in the stores and are being used in large quantities. The herbaceous sorts will be in season in a couple of weeks and will hold attention for a while. Valley has taken a slump, as well as late varieties of tulips, which appear to be rather slow sale. Great quantities of California poppies are being sold, as they are the most popular wild flower at this time. Violets are holding on well, but their days are numbered and the public does not buy them as readily as earlier in the season, when they were in better form. Business has been fair for the last week and the retailers do not expect much of a spurt in business until the closing of the schools, which begins within the next few weeks. Over in. Oakland everything moves along well, considering how plentiful flowers are. Various Notes. J. G. and P. A.

Each resembles in general appear- ance, habit of growth, foliage, etc., the California privet. Each holds its leaves and purple berries well along into win- ter. I think either is equal to California privet in every respect and superior in some points. Berberis Thunbergii, Japanese bar- berry, is also a most desirable hedge plant, as well as one of the most orna- mental of recently introduced shrubs, re- markable for its dense, spreading growth, its hardiness and attractive appearance throughout the year. It also is one of the earliest to start in spryj^. Ji is covered with the greenness of its dainty little leaves and a few weeks later with myriads of small yellow flowers, followed by an abundant crop of fruit, ripening into scarlet berries, which remain to make the bush a conspicuous and attract- ive object all winter. The beautiful au- tumn coloring of the leaves, which as- sume the brightest shades of orange, scarlet and crimson, is not the least of the attractions of this interesting shrub. It is one of the best plants for shrub- bery borders, for edgings, or for hedges. By trimming, it can be kept of any size or shape desired, or, if allowed to grow without interruption, it will make a de- fensive hedge four or five feet high and six or eight feet broad. Its thorns are sharp and severe enough to bar all but the most determined intruders. Spireea Van Houttei I consider the best of all shrubs for an ornamental hedge, where absolute strength is not es- sential, being a neat shrub of pleasing appearance at all times and one of the most handsome of all when in bloom. The plant is extremely hardy, easily transplanted and generally kept by nur- serymen. The plant attaiias five to seven feet when allowed to grow untrained. It can be kept within two feet if desired. All the shrubs mentioned above should be planted in hedge row eighteen inches apart. Most shrubs should be trimmed into shape just after their blooming period, so that the season's growth may be devoted to forming wood for the fu- ture. E. Y. Teas. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. Magnolias are the most beautiful of all the large trees valued for their flow- ers. There are a great many varieties in cultivation, but for the northern states only the hardiest should be planted and even these should be given a sheltered position. Magnolias are rank feeders and for that reason they will only suc- ceed when planted in fairly rich soil. ROSES Headquarters for Walsh's LADY GAY Field-grown, two and three-year-old.

It stands a great deal of hard usage and is, besides, valuable for its adaptability for use in various ways. A great mau.v should be grown to meet the coming demand. It is rather curious that although in nearly every nursery catalogue we see tamarix recommended for planting near the seashore, the actual number of plants in such locations is surprisingly small, but perhaps they would be planted in greater numbers if it were generally known that they stand pruning severely and are in fact thereby greatiy improved, especially when planted in a group or used as a background for dwarf shrubs, or even as hedge plants. The tamarix has beautiful green foliage, fern-like in appearance. Spiraea Anthony Waterer is one of the best spireeas, if not the best spiraea, lor outdoor planting.

The program is in the hands of a committee headed by Eugene Stark, Louisiana, Mo., and an especially inter- esting set of papers has been promised. The committee on exhibits, of which Thomaa B. Meehan, Dreshertown, Pa., is chairman, is making special effort to make the exhibition the largest and most comprehensive ever seen at a nursery- men's convention. The committee now is soliciting applications for space and seeking large exhibits not only of nur- sery stock, but of all sorts of fruits, im- plements and machinery of interest to the trade. The committee on arrange- ments is headed by Charles A. Ilgenfritz, of Monroe, Mich., and the local hos- pitalities will be a special feature of the meeting. The interest and attendance at the nurserymen's convention has been increasing year by year. The 1907 meet- ing gives every indication of breaking all previous records. HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Chrysanthemums of the pompon type, of which each plant produces from forty to 100 blooms, an inch or two across, are many of them sufficiently hardy to be left out all winter in central and southern latitudes, says the press com- mittee of the National Council of Hor- ticulture. The blooms often remain in good condition until long after Thanks- giving. They are the most capable of resisting frost of any garden plants. Their peculiar merit is in blooming long after successive frosts have denuded the landscape. Their vivid colors are so un- like anything else at that season that they are indispensable in the carefully made garden. The flowers are not ruined until their petals have been wet and frozen stiff. The plants are necessarily used for mass effects, as great size is not to be expected. Masses of red and masses of brown side by side make a striking com- bination. Crimson and pink varieties should be kept by themselves, because their colors are variable and they make a violent contrast with the yellow. The culture of hardy chrysanthemums is simple. They need little care and can be planted in any situation, so that the soil is rich. They are best propagated from cuttings, which should be made at any time from October to May. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

The Market Trade last week was nothing to brag of, weather conditions being responsible. Funeral work is the old standby. A few Easter flowers are still hanging on and move slowly. There seems to be a cer- tain amount of surplus stock on the mar- ket. Any one going down Lexington street on a market day would imagine flowers very plentiful. The street boys at present hold the fort, offering roses, carnations, American Beauties, jOnquils, violets and other kinds of cut blooms at a low figure. Greens of all kinds are coming in a little more regularly. Laurel can be had in wagon-loads at fair prices. Various Notes. C. E. Cook and his brother, of Catons- ville, Md., met with a serjpus accident April 13 at Gilmore and Lafayette Ave- nues, their wagon coming in collision with a car, which threw fhem into the street. Mr. Cook was knocked senseless, after which the horse broke away from the runabout, ran across the railroad tracks and was badly injured. Mr. Cook is erecting two new houses, one 30x100 feet and the other 28x100 feet. '^ • " Bobert L. Graham says he had a good Easter trade and will grow a larger num- ber of Harrisii lilies for next Easter. Henry Eberhardt, who has been con- fined to his bed, is able to be about his range of houses again. His son, Peter, now takes charge of his stall in the mar- ket. Wagner Bros., Towson, Md., are erect- ing another large greenhouse. The old property of the late Anthony Cook is being built up with dwelling houses, and hundreds of loads of garden soil are offered for sale. J. M. Sommers, Old York road, has made himself known to the public by having his name painted in big letters on his back fence. He will erect another greenhouse this summer. Thomas Craig, formerly with E. D. Hopkins, is now with B. F. Deford, Joppa road, Towson. J. L. T. ToPEKA, Kan. — April 16 was dande- lion day in Topeka, by proclamation of the mayor. Every man was expected to dig the dandelions out of his own yard, and Governor Hoch announced in ad- vance that he would close the statehouse and, with officers and clerks, get the dandelions out of the statehouse lawn.

MABELLE MEW PINK CARNATIOW 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. Slae— 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. Habltt etc— A very quick, active grower, making specimen plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. Oa ac- count of its rapid growth, requires supporting very soon after benching. Gets away rapklly, blooms early and gives long stems ri^ht from the start. Product- iTenesi — 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 112.00 per 100; 1100.00 per 1000. THE H. WEBER & SONS CO., Oakland, Md.

Trade is keeping up well after Easter and the rush that we had. Easter was the best we ever had. Plants and cut flowers were plentiful and sold well. Easter lilies were scarce. The Easter window displays were fine. The florists are now busy getting bed- ding plants ready for the spring trade, which promises to be a record breaker. Various Notes. The Florists' Club met last week with a good attendance. M. Stauch, an active member of the club who has been the foreman at the Wilcox greenhouses for the last seven years, is about to take a position with the Pittsburg Rose and Car- nation Co. Mr. Stauch has been a very successful grower and we regret to see him leave. Zimmer Bros, have given up their store at Nineteenth and Farnam streets. L. Henderson has been busy for the last six months remodeling his green- houses at South Omaha and is now hav- ing plans made for two new rose houses, each 25x150 feet. A. Donaghue has moved from North Sixteenth street to the Farnam street store and is now running the twp stores together. L. H. MEDIQNE HAT, MAN. Butchart & Kettles, of Winnipeg, met the board of trade and the council April 11 in reference to a project to establish a greenhouse in this city. The enterprise is one of considerable magnitude, as the intention is to grow cut flowers to supply the trade in the province. The establish- ment of the industry would mean an ex- penditure in the first year of from $30,- 000 to $35,000, using natural gas for heating. Butchart & Kettles expressed themselves as willing to pay the manu- facturers ' rate for the gas, but asked for some assistance in securing a site, the value of land conveniently situated being almost prohibitive. The city council will meet this need by giving five acres off the park in the Johnson survey at the same figure for which it was bought last year on the conditions that the sum mentioned is invested and the industry operated as a growing concern for five years. Henderson, Ky. — C. A. Morgan, E. A. Eckert and W. D. Lambert have or- ganized a company and incorporated it under the name of the Morgan Floral Co. The capital stock is $3,500.

It is said Aat the panic in stocks iji March cost the florists of New York city half a million dollars in lessened sales during the week before Easter, but this is probably much exaggerated. At any rate there was no evidence of loss of business here in the center of the violet raising district, where shipments were much greater than last year. At Rhinebeck 820 boxes of violets were shipped by express on the Saturday be- fore Easter, where but 450 were shipped on the corresponding day last year. A great many new violet houses have been erected during the last year around Poughkeepsie and Rhinebeck. The Ga- zette estimates that the Rhinebeck ship- ments during Easter week brought $12,500 to the growers of the neighbor- hood. DALLAS, TEX. The women's organization of Dallas, which includes in its membership the class of people who are accustomed to accomplishing the things they undertake, is planning to hold an autumn flower show which shall be big enough to at- tract national attention. It is the in- tention to make a grand success of it and, as a matter of course, first-class premiums will be offered, so as to in- duce the leading growers all over the country to exhibit. This is the first time a really important flower show has been planned and quite naturally all possible outside aid is sought. The local florists are putting their shoulder to the wheel in good shape. R. Nicholson, of the Texas Seed & Floral Co., is especially interested in the matter and will be glad to have suggestions from any one who has an idea which will help along the show.

The Market A week of miserable -weather has shortened up stock and business has im- proved enough to use all the good stock coming in, but prices have not improved much and Beauties seem to fare worse than anything else. These conditions give the retailers more work, put them in a better humor and relieve the wholesale houses of part of their burden. Satur- day found almost everyone pretty well cleaned up.' Carnations are scarcer than at any time for a good while, but, as there seems to be a break in the weather, no doubt they will come along in a few days. Bulbous stock is not so much in evidence, but there is not much demand for the little coming in. "When one sees the florists buying coal for their wagon heaters in the middle of April it is hard to believe that we are in the middle of spring. Various Notes. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Go. is dis- posing of quantities of yellow Spanish iris, white antirrhinum, yellow daisies and sweet peas. The new city administration is trying to clean up the market house by remov- ing all stands on the outside, against the wall. This will remove about four cut flower stands, and while most of them will get outside stands they will all be inconvenienced a good deal and will not be able to make the same show. Hoo-Hoo. DETROIT. The Market. %* There has been a noticeable lull in-i business. With the exception of funeral work, there has been nothing doing. Cool, dark days have had their effect on the shipments. The local commission houses cleaned up well last week on all stock. Edses and carnations are of good qual- ity. Smilax and ferns are very scarce. Various Notes. The opening of the baseball season on Thursday, April 11, created a scarcity of help at most of the floral establish- ments about town. H. S. ZiON City, III. — C. A. Martin has bought the greenhouses formerly con- ducted as the Horticultural Department of Zion City. Madison, Ind. — Fred W. Pfister has recently completed his new residence and moved into it. 100 1000 Robt.

There has been no change in the d'sign of the FLORENCE since it was jijst created. There have been, of course, i iprovements and modifications, but ro change in the principle. It is so perfect now that we don't i.elieve it can be improved, but if it can, :i, will be done. We don't beheve in {-•eakish things or marvelous things, . iid for this reason, the FLORENCE l.as never swerved from its standard of ( xcellence, save to grow better as science jiows the way. FLORENCE HEATERS are man- ufactured at Belvidere, 111., by the Columbia Heater Co., where their main otiice is also located. The Chicago Sales Department is located at 36 Dearborn St., Chicago, where you are cordially invited .to inspect their samples on exhibition. 1907 catalogue will be promptly mailed to you from either of the above addresses. Mention The Review when yon write. Such estimates are modified somewhat by the character of the greenhouse it- self, such as shape and dimensions, and whether constructed of brick or wood, single or double-boarded, and also the direction in which the greenhouse faces. All of these factors modify the condi- tions, so that the engineer must make his calculations for the size of the boiler required upon exact facts. The nature of the fuel intended for use is another point that must be considered, for where soft coal is to be burned a larger boiler is generally recommended than for hard coal. The proper siding and construction of the greenhouse insures protection from cold outside drafts, so that the heating is much easier arranged. Kind of Boilers. For small houses the ordinary round boiler answers all purposes, and owing to its cheaper cost, is most popular; but for large houses sectional steam and water boilers are necessary. A cast- iron sectional boilet. properly made and of the right dimensions gives satisfactory results. They are safer, more durable, and more economical for this kind of lieating than common wrought-iron or i^teel tubular boilers. If properly de- >*igned they can be set independent of brick-work and in such a way as to oc- ut special steel boilers are largely used. A boiler for a greenhouse should be simple in management and capable of •naintaining a steady temperature from ight to ten hours without attention. It also should be economical in operation ;ind cost of repairs, and every part easy of access for cleaning. The man running •'' commercial greenhouse can not em- I'loy an engineer to look after his hot ''vater or steam plant, and he is not gen- 'Tally much of an engineer himself. For *his reason the plant must be laid out on f'iniple lines and with as few technicali- ties as possible. The boiler must be largely automatic in its operation.

The layout and dimensions of the mains and radiating pipes should be so as. to distribute the heat economically and uniformly. It is fatal to a green- house to have one part overheated and another part underheated. A good deal of the result will depend upon the size and direction of the mains so as to keep up an active circulation. The open tank hot water apparatus probably gives the best results. In a properly constructed plant the entire control of the heat should be regulated by the draught damper on the boiler after the pipe coils have once been heated. The fire should be increased or decreased by the draught regulator, so that the tempera- ture can be made to suit any weather. By means of the chimney draught the temperature of the greenhouse is in- creased or decreased automatically. In the open tank system of hot water heating for greenhouses the dimensions of the boiler are first made to suit the needs of the house, or of such size as necessary to heat the amount of radiat- ing surface estimated essential for a given space. The boiler is connected at the bottom and top with the flow and return mains, and branches are taken from the mains to the coils of radiating pipes. In the pipe header there should be placed an automatic air valve which will permit the air which accumulates in the pipes to escape. [To be continued.] The John Davis Go.

The Market For the last fortnight trade in all hor- ticultural lines has not been brisk, as compared with the exceptionally large business we have all been doing lately. There has been reason for this in the unseasonable weather. Added to this we have- liad a large fire in the very center of the retail district, stopping the electric cars and otherwise interfering with busi- ness. Prices, of course, have settled to a lower and steady basis since Easter, but are not so low as they were a year ago at this time. It has been marked lately that in roses the sales of the Richmond have been surely and steadily increasing; in fact, many of the craft feel that the great popularity of this fine rose is hurt- ing to quite an extent the sales of the American Beauty. Stock of all kinds has been in ample supply and of good quality. The Florists' Qub. The monthly meeting of the club took place April 9. President Sherman F. Stephens was in the chair and, as usual, the members turned out in goodly num- bers. The fall show and the spring dis- tribution of seeds to school children were the topics for discussion. We had one of the best displays of plants and flow- ers we have had since the point system of awards was started last fall. John Wil- liams, for a fine specimen of Araucaria excelsa, received 20 points; R. A. Currie, for an excellent pan of tournesol red tulips, 15 points; I. D. Siebert, for a vase of callas, 13 points, and some splendid spikes of King of the Blues in the single hyacinth class brought 13 points to Sherman F. Stephens. The ■committee also especially commended John Williams' geraniums. A committee consisting of Messrs. R. A. Currie, James McKeller, W. Metz- maier, George Bauman and Jacob Reich- ert, was chosen to arrange the annual field day. It was also planned to hold a rose and strawberry show in June, and to make the occasion a ladies' night. Various Notes. The Civic Federation of Women 's Clubs has recently had several meetings with regard to the school garden move- ment, M. B. Faxon for the Columbus Florists' Club explaining the seed dis- tribution plan to them. Superintendent Underwood is fast putting Franklin park in shape for the season.

There is au abundance of stock on hand; everyone seems to be carrying about all his ice-box capacity will per- mit. This applies more particularly to roses and carnations. Prices, however, remain about the same. Owing to the inclement weather the street merchants have not been able to get busy, but, as it is now warming up, we can expect to see them at any time. Bulb stock is practically through. Every dealer still has a small number of plants on hand from Easter, hydrangeas being more in evidence than anything else. It will be, from present indications, a full month before any planting can be done, although a large number of good orders have been placed. Trees and shrubbery are occupying the attention of those of the trade who handle small lines of stock, and there appears to be more activity in that line than in any other. Minneapolis. The Whitted Floral Co. has turned over considerable stock the last week, the demand for funeral flowers being very heavy. ^Miss Whitted has established the reputation of having the violet trade in the city. She turned over between 10,000 and 12,000 in one day lately. The New York Florists report business very good in their Nicollet avenue store. Trade in their Washington avenue place has been quiet. St.PatfL L. L. May & Co. have had a very busy week, the demand being principally for funeral work. The retail seed trade has opened nicely. Holm & Olson say business is good and apparently are well pleased with the re- sults of Easter. E. F. Lemke continues to pick some nice violets. The demand being light, they are sold at a smaller price. The Ramaley Floral Co. reports the sale of cut flowers slo^^, -but has been favored with some nice orders for fu- neral work. Visitors: W.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* I 1735 AND A Point of View Worth Considering: It's all right for you to buy your materials from us, and we are always glad to furnish them— but some- times a man doesn't get the results he would if we had also erected the house for him; and that's why every year the florist is doing less and less of his own erecting. Here's what one of our customers recently said in answer to an inquiry as to why he had stopped doing his own building: "My business is growing flowers, not building greenhouses. I can't afford to take the time from the business that I do know about, to experiment with something that I know nothing about. ' ' Let us take this side of the question up with you at once. Write today, you'll be just as busy tomorrow. HITCHINGS AND CO. GREENHOUSE DESIGNERS AND BUILDERS.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 1739 MUMS IN LETTUCE HOUSES. 1 have a bed 11x100 now in lettuce t'lMt I wish to plant in mums. The soil is naturally sandy loam, of course light- ened with rotted manure. It is gravel s!ibsoil and well drained. What should I add to the soil for mums? How far apart should they be planted for one and two flowers to the plant? Should the small plants be pinched back so as to start two branches at the ground line? "When should I plant for best results? What date should cuttings be struck for best results? Is it necessary to shift into 3-inch pots before planting? Do such plants need supports? "What is the difference between crown and terminal buds? The bed is the center of a house twen- ty-four feet wide and eleven feet to the ridge. What general suggestions can you oflfer? S. C. T. To answer the questions in rotation, I would say first that by the description I assume that these are solid beds and that the grower does not remove his soil every year. I would suggest to add about two inches of well rotted manure and a nice sprinkle of bone meal. Turn the soil over in such a way that the ingredi- ents are thoroughly mixed, and be sure that the manure is rotted. Better by far use no manure at all than to use fresh manure of any description. The mum will stand lots of feeding later in the season, but not at planting time, and it is no unusual thing for young stock to be injured rather than helped by mis- taken kindness in this direction. The distance apart to plant is gov- erned largely by the quality of flowers it is intended to produce, also to some extent by the variety planted. I plant 8x10 for exhibition flowers and keep the plants to one stem, but the small-leaved varieties, such as the old Ivory, would have room enough 6x6. I have seen a fair grade of flowers produced by plant- ing at the latter distance and running two blooms to a plant. This would pro- duce a medium market grade, very me- dium in some cases. I would not pinch the plants back to start two branches at the ground line, except in the case of Beatrice May or some such slow-growing, dwarf variety. ^ly reason for this is as follows: When ^'■''G has too much heavy foliage around tl'o plants near the soil it prevents the ^iin from getting to the soil and drying i^ out in the early fall. This mass of f'liage will stay wet all day, after the pi'tnts have been sprayed, and leaf -spot ^' ill invariably start there, owing to lack f>f air. The plant will, after being I'ianted a few weeks, make a natural ! eak, as it is called. In other words, '\ produces a bud and around this bud ^"^•U appear several shoots. Then you Ct-a run up two or more shoots, as de- sired. The only reason I would not rec- ommend that course with the slow grow- ers is because it would be diflStult to get a long enough stem on them to cut. Late in May or early in June is the time to plant for best results, unless you wish to grow the latest varieties to flower, say, for Thanksgiving. These can be planted as late as August 1 sind produce fair flowers. It is not necessary to grow on into S-inch pots before planting. The plants will be all right planted from 2-inth pots, or from flats, providing they are in nice, healthy, growing condition and not starved or stunted in any way. It would be better to pot on into 3-inch or 4-inch rather than have the plants get hard and potbound. Cuttings are rooted from March to July, inclusive, with good results. Early varieties should be rooted early, so they have a chance to come along. The late varieties are all right propagated later. Arrangements should be made to stake the plants, or support them in some way, or they will fall all over the place. A straight stem is a necessary adjunct to a good flower. The difference between a crown and a terminal bud is considerable. It is the crown bud that produces the larger flower and except in few cases the best results. Plants, during their season of growth, produce several buds if grown along. A plant set out in June, for in- stance, will produce a bud some time in July. This is called by some a natural break. It is really a crown bud, but it is too early to be taken. Another crown bud will be produced in August and if it does not come before August 20 it may be safely taken. This is the bud that produces the large flower. If this bud is rubbed out and the growth of the plant continued, another bud will be pro- duced late in September, which is gen- erally a terminal. It is called a terminal because it is the finish, or terminus, of all growth on the plants. It has several small buds around a larger, central one, whereas the crown bud has several small shoots around it, and these shoots, if not taken off, at once grow away and leave the bud. Any bud produced on a plant before September may be set down as a crown bud. Charles H. Totty. HISTORY OF THE MUM. In his interesting contribution to the Journal of the Boyal Horticultural So- ciety of Great Britain, on chrysanthe- mums in Japan, N. Hayashi states: * ' Although the exact date when the chrysanthemum began to be cultivated is unknown, it must have been previous to the year 300 A. D., as we find the name of this plant mentioned in the history of those days, as well as in poetry which is known to have been written at that period. History gives an account of an occasion when the Korean court, in 313 A. D., presented to our Emperor Nin- toku some plants of a yellow-flowered chrysanthemum. It seems to me, how- ever, that the cultivation of the chrysan- themum was at its best about the six- teenth century." CARNATION NOTES.- WEST. Planting Out Young Stock. The cool wave of the last few weeks has passed the way of the hot one which preceded it and, barring the possibility of rain, we should have a month of good weather for planting in the field. The quicker the job is done, once it is com- menced, the better for the plants. Dur- ing May we usually have ideal weather for the plants to take hold and start growing. Therefore, the more of that period a plant can spend in the field, the better it will be for it. In fact, a plant that is expected to make a fair size by the middle of July must necessarily be set-out early in May. If you should have to wait a few days before you begin to plant out it will pay you to make every preparation for the work. Do not wait until the morning you want to begin planting to look up the trowels and the line and to look over your stock of large labels, etc. Get everything together now so you can lay your hands on whatever is needed. If you grow a considerable quan- tity and have several batches of many kinds it will pay you well, in time saving, to make a list of the varieties on each bench for reference, such as I mentioned last year. It consists simply of begin- ning at the near end of each bench and writing down the names or numbers oi the varieties as they come, making a sep- arate list for each bench. When getting the several batches of a variety you merely run over your lists and by the po- 1740 The Weekly Florists^ Revfew* Apbil 26, 1907. sition in the list you can tell about where on the bench you will find them. If you had your field plowed late last fall, as you should have done, you can use a hillside plow to turn it over this spring, as you need it, day after day, but these plows are not adapted to bresJdng up gn'ound that is packed to any extent. With an ordinary plow you must plow a considerable piece at a time, else you will have your field full of trenches. If you use an ordinary plow, have the field pul- verized as fine as possible and finish up by dragging it. This will m^e a rather smooth surface, which will prevent dry- ing out. It also does away with lumpi- ness, and that is about the worst thing I know of for not only the plants, but for planters' tempers. When deciding in which direction across the field to run the rows, take into consideration the slope of the land rather than the end nearest the approach or en- trance to the field. If there is any slope run the rows across it rather than up and down. The reason for this is that later on, when you cultivate, you make more or less of a furrow between each row and when it rains hard the water will run down these furrows and wash the soil if the rows run up and down. But if they run crosswise the water will be caught in each row and must soak into the soil instead of running off. This is of more importance than appears at first BLOOMS DEVELOP SLOWLY. I have a house of Enchantress and Lawson carnations which are producing very few blooms. The house is run at about 50 degrees to 52 degrees at night and the plants are in a healthy condition. Each plant has from twenty to thirty flowering shoots and, while they look thrifty, they do not appear to grow very fast. Are there too many shoots to each plant, and if so should they be pruned? Any information on this matter will be greatly appreciated. I have not noticed anything in the Review as to the num- ber of shoots a plant should contain. L. L. W. Without knowing more about your carnations, I can not tell why they are not producing more blooms. It may be the fault of your culture, or it may be due to the abnormal weather conditions which have prevailed the greater part of the year. The weather has been about as unfavorable to a steady crop as it pos- sibly could have been, and I am sure it is primarily the cause of many benches being badly off crop at this time. First there was a long cloudy spell, which tended to retard all growth, and espe- cially such as had not begun to run up. This alone would have caused a lull in the crop. But, to make matters worse, the hot wave in March drove out what buds were on the plants without bring- Helianthtts Mollis Grandif lorut. glance. If you plant so that you can cultivate both ways, of course it makes no difference which way you run the rows. If possible, top every plant a week be- fore planting it out. A. F. J. Baus. It would be hard work to get along without the Review. — ^F. A. Doeman, Jamestown, N. Y. ing on the next crop appreciably. Then followed the colder wave, which has fur- ther retarded the progress of the crop which rightfully ought to be on at this time. All through the country we find the conditions much the same, and the probabilities are there will be an enor- mous glut during late May and early June. It is possible, however, that your trou- ble may come from improper topping last summer and fall. If the cut has been light all winter and your plants have con- tinued to stool out instead of throwing up flower shoots, I would attribute it to that cause. To keep on topping ui ril late in the fall, after the plants h: ve become of good size, and possibly !. te planting, would likely cause such a c u- dition. You do not say what date viu planted or stopped topping, so I can o; iv suggest this as a possibility. As to the number of shoots on e.^ h plant, I would say, let them come alo f. If the plants are strong and healthy ti y will carry whatever shoots there are. 1 it you must be liberal with both water ;, ;(i food. I would suggest a dressing of 1 le ground bone meal, about a 3-inch pot if it to a row across a 5-foot bench, ri d cover this with a good inch of half r t- ted cow manure or of well rotted sta le manure. If you can add to the lat r about one-sixth its bulk of ground sh( p manure it will make it much bett r. Thinning out the blooming shoots af ; >r the plants are well established is rot practiced to any extent among commer- cial growers. Where quality is the prime factor of course it would pay, but the commercial grower encourages his plants to make as many shoots as possible and then by judicious feeding and general good culture helps them to produce as high quality as possible. A. F. J. Baur. THE HELIANTHUS. The helianthus, which includes the common sunflower, is among the most useful of our coarser, hardy, herbaceous, perennial plants. There are quite a number of species indigenous to the United States, many of which have re- sponded quickly to improved conditions and a little good culture. H. mollis is one of these and so marked a difference is there between the original species and the well-bred plants offered by dealers in hardy stock that some of them desig- nate the variety as H. mollis grandi- florus. All the perennial sunflowers are among the most effective hardy plants for borders, for planting among shrubbery or in clumps on the lawn. They are free- flowering and will succeed in poor soil, although they are gross feeders and will give evidence of appreciation if provided light, fairly rich soil. They are invalua- ble for decorative purposes or for cut- ting in late summer. H. mollis has large, single, lemon-yel- low flowers. The foliage is abundant and covered by a white, downy pubescence, as are the stems. It grows four feci high and blooms freely in July, August and September. ORDER AND CLEANLINESS. The note in a recent Review, undo the above heading, suggests an importan matter, says a writer in the Horticui tural Advertiser. It often occurs tha it is from want of funds that a plae gets into disorder, yet there are soni who have no -idea of keeping things ti gether. I once took charge of an estal lishment where a great variety of plani were grown and I found the plants mixe up in an indiscriminate manner. 1 took a considerable time to get ther sorted out and to get them togethei Yet, starting by clearing one house an refilling it with subjects most suitable t be grown together, and following througi' APRIL 25, 1007.

Y. the others in the same way, the matter became easier afterwards, though a few things had to be neglected to effect the change. I visit a good many growers of miscellaneous stock and I find those who do not overcrowd, and keep up a moder- ate stock, do well; that is, where they keep everything in proper order. Over- crowding and insufficient labor are the chief evils. Things are put into the wrong places, because there is no room where they ought to go. Then, once they are mixed up, there is a continual waste of time in moving. There are also those who have no sys- tem and just muddle things up together, many of which require quite different treatment. One great loss occurs where plants which require fumigating are mixed up with those which are rarely af- fected by insect pests. I quite agree that keeping the houses free from any rub- bish, and a fresh, clean surface to the benches, walks, etc., is a great advan- tage; and in arranging plants there is a great advantage in doing so in a manner which prevents the stronger ones from smothering the weaker ones. Where they are mixed up, it invariably happens that the weaker ones get too much water and not enough air. System is a great factor and saves much labor, yet in many inr stances things get into disorder through insufficient labor to keep a straight course. -If it pays to do a thing at all, it pays to do it well. ^ ^^^2^^^2^^^s^^™^2fc2^^^^^^^i2^3t^iifi^Mifi^iS22™fi^iSiiftii2i« i i THE RETAIL FLORIST ^ir^ ^M^ 'HcWi ^yr» \dem %fe»» V:»>^* Vf»t''tfe»>^hfe»>^Mf^'Mr»>^X^>\fe»>\fe^'t^»>^tfe»> MEMORIAL DAY. It is worth while noting thus early that each year there is an increasing observance of Memorial day throughout the cities of the north. It is, of course, to be expected that the demand for spring bedding stock will culminate in a Srand rush in the last ten days of May. This is not what is meant by the general observance of Memorial day. That is a flay when every one has come to remem- l^er those who have gone before, by tak- ing cut flowers to the cemetery. In the original observance of the day, only the old soldiers were remembered. Now the custom has become general. It is not an occasion for fancy stock or high prices; rather for a plentiful supply at moderate rates. Large numbers of prepared wreaths, metal designs, etc., are used in certain localities. SALTFORiyS CONSERVATORY. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of a new conservatory and show room recently added to the "flower shop" of W. G. Saltford, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. It is a structure which will inter- est retail florists for many reasons, not the least of which is that it is erected on what would otherwise be the roof of the store. As the picture shows, a stairway four feet wide leads from the store proper to this show room on the second floor. The. house is 20x40, with a con- crete floor, so that water may be used freely without endangering the decora- tions of the store below. The benches also are of concrete. The frame of the house is of iron, with the bent glass con- struction at the caves, being the most ornamental style of house yet devised. Double thick ground glass is used and the house is lighted at night with five fifty candle-power electric lamps. The house was completed just in time for the Easter display and proved a great help in handling the large amount of business done that week. Mr. Salt- ford says that it is also interesting to note that this house, located as it is, is the best advertisement he ever secured, because it provokes much comment among people who never before saw a greenhouse off the ground. RETAILER'S ADVERTISING. A. F. Fiedler & Co., Baltimore, Md., have issued ' ' Messengers of Sentiment, ' ' which should have a beneficial effect upon retail trade if distributed to a class of flower buyers. This is a neatly printed booklet with quotations from tlic poets, also with an interpretation of the language of flowers' and other suitable matter. One of the best features is a page of suggestions for flower combina- tions, which might well be elaborated to the advantage of the business. SUNDAY FUNERALS. The question of Sunday funerals is one which is being agitated all over the country. In some sections the movement to do away with Sunday interments is meeting with the support of florists and in other localities they are opposing any change as being calculated to reduce, the business done in funeral flowers. This not only is a narrow view, but one not warranted by the experience of those who do business in cities where Sunday fu- J 742 The Weekly Florists' Review^ April 25, 1907. nerals have been discontinued for some time. In these cases it has been found that there is no loss of business because^ of limiting burials to week days. The same amount of work is called for and the florist has the advantage that it is not necessary to keep open on Sunday to make and deliver funeral designs. There is everything in favor of the proposition to do away with Sunday burials and those cemeteries which are taking up the matter should be encouraged by the flo- rists. Too much Sunday work is done in most flower stores. Those who do busi- ness in cities, like Boston, where blue laws are enforced, lose nothing in money and gain many of the things that make life worth living. A CARNATION ARMFUL. A loose cluster of carnations, tied near the lower ends of the stems with a few sprays of Asparagus Sprengeri, is all there is to this carnation armful. The arrangement may be described as fan- shaped, but not flat. Every possible chance is given to each flower to take an easy position, whether it stands erect against the person, falls over the elbow, or hangs downward. As in other arrangements, each flower seems to have a place of ics own and it is necessary to discover just what and some parts and more closely set in others. One advantage in this style of arrange- ment is, that it shows prettily from be- hind, and to one side, as when it is properly carried a good portion of the flowers fall out some distance from the elbow. With extra long-stemmed flowers a variation in the shape of this armful may be made by lengthening the bunch as it hangs on the arm and reducing its width. Gertrude Blair. TENTED FUNERALS. At East Lawn cemetery, at Sacra- mento, Cal., tents are erected by under- takers for all funerals, but extra charge is made for decorations, some of which are very elaborate. In one case wreaths and festoons of smilax and Asparagus plumosus were used, not only all the way around the walls of the tent, which is 20x60 feet, but the center poles were covered and long strings extended from the poles to the sides of the tent, and from one pole to the other. On these were hung baskets of ferns. A screen was placed between the mourners and the grave, and all formal pieces and flowers were placed in the compartment with the grave. The grave usually is lined with flowers and covered so that it closes as the casket is lowered. The "Armful" Bouquet. where that place is. No attempt should be made to produce a imiform weight throughout the bunch. In fact, the op- ])osite is almost necessary for the best efl'ect. Flowers should be scattered in YouNGSTOWN, O. — T. E.

Y., read before the Dobbs rorrv Horticultural Association, February 23, 1907.) " At the present time there are many different strains of cyclamen and mai/v of the leading seedsmen claim to hase superior strains to what has been on the market before; and I may add, that bit- ter cyclamen are annually appearing. \\(, have blooms twice the size that we hml a few years ago. Some of them aic beautifully fringed and variegated ai)! the colors range all the way from pu,c white to blood red. Also the foliai,c is more marked and if they bore lo flowers they would be well worth grow- ing for their foliage alone. But wih both combined they are among the fim t table plants the greenhouse produces ai i should be more generally grown. Sowing the Seeds. The seed should be sown during tl ■ month of August, but may be sown .n July or September, according to the tini-' you wish them to bloom. It takes fi' teen to sixteen months from time (>! sowing to time of blooming. They shoui.i be sown in flats about three inches deeji. First make ample drainage by makin^^ plenty of holes in the bottom; then pui in a layer of charcoal about three - fourths of an inch thick; this must 1)t' well broken up. Then fill the flat with a compost of fibrous loam and leaf -mold in equal parts, with some fine charcoal mixed in to keep the soil from souring, as it takes the seeds a long time to germinate. Fill the flat and scrape ofl' level with a lath. Then sow the seeds, press down with a board, and cover the seeds with a thin layer of sand, water and keep in a cool place until the weather gets cool. Then place in a warmer position and keep them in a temperaturo as near to 60 degrees as possible. Culture. When the bulbs have attained the sizv of a small marble they may be potte(J into small pots; 2%-inch will do. Place some fine charcoal in the bottom for drainage. Use the same compost as be- fore, with a little well-rotted cow ma nure added. Keep them in the same heat until the weather becomes warm; then place them in a cool, shaded house, or frame, and keep them as cool as possible through the summer months. When they have started into rapiil growth care should be taken that they never become pot-bound. It is well to knock one or two out of the pots once in a while and examine the roots. If fine plants are wanted they must have plenty of soil to work in. When they arc moved into their second pots the soil should not be sifted, but broken up with the hands and well mixed. For this potting the compost should be two-thirds fibrous loam, the third part equally di- vided between well-rotted cow manure and leaf -mold, with plenty of charcoal in the bottom of the pots; 3%-inch pots should be used. Care should be taken to never let the plants become dry, especially during the summer months, as this checks them in their growth, and when a cyclamen is once checked it seldom makes a fine plant. They should be moved into 5-inch pots next, using the same compost as before. After they are well established in these pots they can be fed with liquid ma- nure. I use horse manure for this pur- pose; it induces a more rapid growth. They can be moved out of these pots APBIL 25. 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1743 > ,^t^_yV ^ ^^. r "■^^ ^^^^k.

They can be bloomed in 5- iuch or 6-inch pots, but if fine plants are needed they should be in 7-inch or 8-inch pots. The plants can be grown the second season, and if this is done they should not be dried off, but enough water given to keep the bulbs plump and firm. Just as they start into new growth they should be knocked out of the pots and as much of the soil removed as possible without injury to the roots. They should be repotted in the same size pots, but will require larger as the roots fill the pots. Preserviii£ the Seed. Everyone who grows cyclamen in quan- Hty should select a few of his finest dooming plants and keep them for seed. 'I'hey should be placed where they get the full sun to ripen the seed. When they are in full bloom it is well to brush 'lie hand over the bloom to scatter the I'oUen. It is a good thing to sow the • oeds as soon as it is ripe; then you are -'ire of good, fresh, plump seed that has ' >t lost its vitality. Cyclamen grow the •:st from fresh gathered seed.

CROTON WEISMANNI. Although botanists tell us that codise- um is the correct botanical name for croton, that the latter is an erroneous generic term and belongs to a different section of the natural order Euphorbia- cea5, we doubt if the word cro^pn will ever be dropped by cultivators. C. Weismanni was introduced from Poly- nesia as far back as 1868 and still re- tains its position as one of the finest of the genus. The leaves are ten to four- teen inches in length, tapering at the base, upper surface dark green with golden blotches, mid-rib and margins golden yellow. The plant is suitable for a centerpiece on a dining-table and can be grown into a large and handsome specimen. Like all crotons, it needs a brisk, moist heat; for compost, fibrous loam, sand, a little charcoal and some well dried cow manure or sheep manure. By judicious feeding large plants can be grown in very small pots. In summer, crotons and dracsenas succeed best in a frame, where they can be syringed and closed up early. In such a place they grow much more luxuriantly than in any greenhouse. W. N. Craio. WHY USE CYPRESS? Every manufacturer of greenhouse material is called upon, many times a season, to answer the question, "Why use cypress?" Of recent years not many experienced florists use material turned out by local mills, but the be- ginner in the business always is from Missouri in the sense that he has to be shown why cypress is better than pine, or hemlock, or some other wood the local mill would like to work up into sash- bars. To answer the question the John C. Moninger Co., Chicago, has pre- pared a neatly printed circular, which is in part as follows: "Cypress grows to a great age; h tree now growing in the Alps is saiil to have been there during the time of Julius Caesar. Napoleon, when cross- ing the Simplon, went out of his way to leave it standing. The tree grows in the south of Europe, East Indies, China, Mexico, Guatemala and North America. The wood of the cypress is close grained and of a fine reddish hue. Among the ancients it was in request for poles, rafters, joists, and for the construction of wine presses and mrjrfcal instru- ments; and on that account was so valuable that a plantation of cypress was considered a sufficient dowry for a daughter. "Owing to the durability of the wood it was employed for mummy cases and images of the gods. A statue of Jupiter carved out of cypress is stated by Pliny to have existed 600 years without showing signs of decay. Mummy cases have been found in the pyramids of Egypt, of great age and perfectly preserved. The gates of Constantinople, made out of cypress wood, lasted for eleven centuries, and the doors of ancient St. Peter's at Rome, when re- moved by Eugeniu's IV, were about 1,100 years old, but nevertheless in a state of perfect preservation. Laws were engraved on cypress by the ancients and articles of value were preserved in receptacles made of it. "The 'berosh' and 'beroth' of the Hebrew scriptures, translated 'fir' in 1744 The Weekly Florists^ Review* April 25, lOO*! the authorized version, 1 Kings 5:8 and 6:15, 2 Chron. 2:8, and many other passages, is supposed to signify the cypress, also the gopher wood referred to in Gen. 6:14, of which wood Noah built the ark. ' "i He cypress, which grows no more when once cut down, was regarded as a symbol of the dead and perhaps for that reason was sacred to Pluto; its branches were placed, by the Greeks and Eomans, on the funeral pyres and in the houses of their departed friends. The cypress was the tree into which Cyparissus, a beautiful youth beloved by Apollo, was transformed that he might grieve for all time. All through history the cypress is referred to and it is one of the remarkable woods of the world. It has at all times been considered the most durable wood and is also highly resistant to the attack of in- sects. ' * The conditions under which a tree grows, are the conditions to which the wood of that tree is best adapted, and this fact is especially true of the cypress. Cypress grown in the flooded swamps bordering on the Gulf of Mexico is best suited to the moisture and heat of a greenhouse and that which grows under dry conditions is used for residences and buildings of that character. "Sap in cypress greenhouse material is a fatal defect and only those that have had a long and thorough ex- perience with the wood can detect its presence. Not one florist out of fifty knows what 'stained' sap is, or can tell it in a piece of lumber — very few know what sap is or know whether it is in the material or not. "In view of the above it is strange that occasionally a man is found who wants a different kind of wood for his greenhouse — who wants cedar or some other wood — but if you get cypress, anil the right kind of cypi^ss, you will make no mistake.

Crawford, the well-known horticul- turist, whose portrait appears in this issue, has removed his large stock of gladiolus bulbs from Cuyahoga Falls, O., to the tract of ground owned by the Shiocton Garden Land Co., at Shiocton, Wis. In this new location he will not only continue to give attention to his own specialty, the raising of gladiolus bulbs, but will also superintend the horticultural experiments of the Shiocton Garden Land Co. Extensive gardens of vegetables will be grown by the com- pany under Mr. Crawford 's direction, and experiments will be carried on in order to determine the kinds of vegetables for which the soil is best suited. Mean- while Mr. Crawford will also act as editor of the horticultural department of the Shiocton News and of the Black ("reek Times. Though in early life his opportunities for self-improvement were limited, Mr. Crawford is now well fitted, both by theoretical knowledge and by practical experience, for the performance of these varied duties. He has been actively en- gaged in horticulture for more than half a century. He is also well known as a writer and lecturfy on horticultural sub- jects, and is an acknowledged authority in several branches of the science. Mr. Crawford was born in County Antrim, Ireland, in 1839. While he was still very young his father died, and when he was only 10 years old he and his younger brother were brought by their mother to America, and the family set- tled in Ohio. About 1850 they made their home in Cleveland, and six years after- ward Mr. Crawford began work on the large market garden conducted by the late George H. Lodge in that city. From that date he has been engaged con- tinuously in horticultural work. In 1876 he began the raising of strawberry plants for the trade, and since the early eighties he has been carrying on a steadily increasing business in the grow- ing of gladiolus bulbs. Recently he has sown as much as fifty pounds of gladio- lus seed in a single year, and it is ex- pected that this season he will grow over two million of the bulbs. But though he has given special attention to the straw- berry and the gladiolus, he has also been a constant experimenter in many kinds of flowers, vegetables and fruits, trying new varieties of plants and test- ing various methods of culture. It is thought that no better man could have been found to carry on the series of BUDDLEIA ASIATICA. I have heard various opinions coueciii- ing Buddleia Asiatica, says a writer in the Horticultural Advertiser, whirh, though introduced about thirty years ago, has only recently come to the frdiit. I find few of the market growers c;.ie to take it up at present, yet it may l,e worth more than some think it is. I m.iy be going a little out of the way in mvX-. ing any suggestions regarding a plaat I have not grown myself, but sevcj.il growers have said that there was imt enough in a pot, and it appears to , !e that it is one of those plants which, ii'. instead of being grown singly, three tr more were grown in the same pot, mc/iv satisfactory results would be obtaine !. I find it roots freely from cuttings, an. I once get a few good stock plants there would be little difficulty in getting a large crop of cuttings. I anl told that although considered nearly hardy, it is only under glass that it can be flowered satisfactorily. It may be that some mar- ket grower will take it in hand and prove its usefulness. What a long time it was before Eose Crimson Rambler came to be recognized as of any value for mark(n trade. St. Johnsbuey, Vt. — James Burns is superintending the landscape work at Speedwell Farms, Lyndonville, where a new range of greenhouses also is beini; erected. During his absence Mrs. Bums has charge of the business here. Spkingfield, III. — The state of Illi nois is making effort to collect from for mer state treasurers the sum of interest pocketed on deposits of public money. A number of the state treasurers are dead and action is being taken against their estates or their bondsmen. George M. Brinkerhoff, the florist, has been on the bonds of six state treasurers. r ss^ SEASONABLE .''^'n.'m^ SUGGESTIONS •Uf9; ijt-wooded plants would do. tJse a rather light, leaf-moldy soil for *;,.; first potting, a heavier one for suc- cessive shifts. Don't use finely screened ^,,il* the coarser the better. A mixture i>:: fibrous loam, dried cow manure, a lit- ,!,' broken charcoal and some sharp sand H suitable. If you decide to grow in pols, you can still procure good stuff in i: inch pots by propagating now. Gardenias on Benches. If bench culture is preferred, put plenty of coarse drainage in the bottom. Sliake out the finer particles of soil, •,liich will only make the soil soggy. A < I impost is needed which will carry water through it speedily and which dries out readily. Plant out stock frorii 4-inch |/()ts, two feet between the rows and eighteen inches between the plants. Leave the soil around each plant elevated some- what, to form a sort of mound. The jii.ints need frequent syringing to keep down mealy bug and this allows the l)cnch to dry out better than if you had a level surface. We find two or three syringings a week with a good spray noz- zle attached to the hose will keep the ])lants absolutely clean. A light spraying overhead once or twice a day is helpful, l)ut by using the nozzle under the plants and directing the water upward as well as downward, clean plants will be the result. We hear much of yellow foliage on gardenias and, of course, flowers with jjolden leaves are of no use. Too soggy :i compost causes this. Occasional doses of soot water. Clay's fertilizer or Bo- iior.^ will keep the foliage a dark green ;« of all varieties for sale, each one of whom could assist the society as a wo;k- ing popular force by joining as a m^.n- ber. The American Eose Society is gain- ing in a life membership fund, but tiie sustaining membership is absolutely re- quired and this may be done by every rose grower in America without being a burdensome expense to any one. A photograph of the exhibition now before me, gives a fine reproduction of the beautiful effect as one entered tlie hall at evening with the full effect of the electric lights pouring down over the great, square hall with its wealth of color and form that at once took the eye. But forty-eight hours before, the secretary, as he faced the same space, all ready to fill up, which the Florists' Club of Washington had worked so hard to make ready, was puzzled when, at ') o'clock the night before the show was to open, a gentleman from New York City said: "This looks well, but what have you got to fill it up witht" At that instant every entry of all degrees counted thirty-seven vases, a drop ii> the bucket only. A few Washington men gathered ami the word was passed, "We will have a show if we have to empty our own houses. ' ' Here was a perplexity to those on whose shoulders rested the responsi bility of getting up an exhibition; at the last minute they were in ignorance nf what was coming and the work of prcji aration was done on faith. It was l'> o'clock Tuesday night when a dispatch came from W. H. Walsh, Woods Hole. Mass., saying: "I am leaving Boston with a carload of ramblers." This dis patch was like General Sherman's signal * ' Hold the Fort, for I am Coming. Then came a dispatch from Pierson sa> ing: "We have missed a train but will b' there with some fine blooms. ' ' Wednesday morning (the show was t ■ open at noon) came load after load f roi ' one and another who had started the aft ernoon or night before but had sent n^ word; hence we were in the dark. Thri or four who had entered were disaj pointed at last, but by noon there hn vanished all doubt as to not having rose show. The roses were on hand. The judges, Messrs. Craig, Kastin and Hauswirth, could not begin wor until late and this point I wish to giv out to all future exhibitors: try and le whoever is in charge know ahead tha you will come. There is a whole lot o' detail work in arranging these shows, an such shows as the American Rose So ciety does put up are worthy of bein visited by thousands of people; th sight is one of beauty. The prizes taken numbered fifty-five APRIL 25, 1007. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1747 riie Porrance prize trophy was carried ,,11 by Robert Simpson, of Clifton, N. J. rbis is the first time anyone had cap- i;ired that prize. Lord & Burnham's ,./ize was won twice by George Burton, .'.•• Wyndmoor, and according to the rims of presentation he now owns it. \Vm. H. Elliott, of Brighton, Mass., ,,;rried off the first which was put up V Moore, Hentz & Nash, of Madison, \. J., of $15, to go to the man who did :ic real growing. This was John Pritch- ,al Madbury, N. H. The second prize, ..]{) went to Wm. Ahlers, of Clifton, y. J., who grows for President Robert Simpson. The special prizes offered in divisions !•■ and G numbered thirty-two, and of ihose eight were not won. The W. A. vfanda, Orange, N. J., prize of $25 in tjold is to be won next year. John Hreitmeyer & Son, Detroit, Mich., place tlieir $25 in the treasury for next year. Alexander Montgomery's cup remains for next year also. The Hammond prize of $10 for best foliage rose for dooryards remains. This is as far as heard of from the lay-overs. The Rose Society by invitation of the I'liicago Florists' Club goes to that city in March, 1908. We want 1,000 rose growers in the big centers and in the villages from the east and the west, from the northland and the southland, to join US as associate members and we want to send to each some frequent reminder, so as to keep in touch, one with the other, and when we hold shows hereafter wc want the people to come to see them. The best card we had in Washington was to invite the school children with their teachers, and the little folk came in flocks. Two of President Roosevelt's boys were there. Benjamin Hammond. ROSE HIAWATHA. It is hardly necessary to say, reports tiie Horticultural Advertiser, that in England Rose Hiawatha has been more in demand during the past season than any other novelty. I find all market throwers who do roses in pots want it; but what I would refer to is the propa- <,'ation. No doubt it will do well on the Manetti stock, yet if layered from the long shoots it will root freely from I'very joint, and I believe plants so ob- tained will do better than those grafted. I ha\-e seen some cut up in short lengths and put in as cuttings, and instead of starting from the base they have made the first roots from below the wood-bud that has been close to the surface, so this proves that it would hardly be nec- essary to make a cut at the joint when Injuring. I have not yet had any expe- rionce in growing this rose, but it ap- pears much like Crimson Rambler, to flower it well it must be started early, and well ripened off early in the autumn. THE READERS' CORNER. The Review is the most compact and business-like journal in the horticultural field. — C. Adams, Memphis, Tenn. Urbana. III. — The greenhouse being built by Edward Dodson on East Main street is nearing completion. The place "ill be open for business in a few days. Kankakee, III. — Faber Bros, will start immediately to erect an addition fo their greenhouses on the south side. The new building will be 25x75 and will be used for carnations. This makes the ♦^ighth house the firm has in use at the farm place. Sunday Funerals. About a year ago the florists of my city, Wichita, Kans., succeeded in get- ting a petition signed by the florists, un- dertakers, ministers and prominent liv- ery firms, asking that Sunday funerals be done away with. This was promptly approved by the cemetery association and the change has been a great relief and satisfaction to all concerned. The ceme- tery superintendent a few weeks ago, in discussing the matter, said every man in his employ would quit work if Sunday funerals were resumed. Let florists in other cities try some similar plan and they will be delighted with thp results. Surely we need the day of rest as much as any merchant, and if the funerals are done away with other departments of the business can be kept closed much more easily. Personally we have always kept our business closed on Sundays, except The Kdltor Is pleased when a Reader presents his Ideas on any subleot treated tVC^ As ezperlenoe is the be^t teacher, so do we learn fastest by an exchanffe of experiences. Many valuable points are brouKht out by discussion. Ouod penmanship, spelling and gram- mar, thousrh desirable, are not neces- sary. Write as you would talk when doing your best. WK SHALL BE GLAD TO HKAR FROM TOU. for funeral work, and since the publish- ing of this matter in our daily papers people do not bother us nearly so much as formerly and we really get a rest when the day comes. Of course, work for Monday funerals in other towns has to be made up and sent out, but that is a very different matter from three or four local funerals, each calling for a good many orders, and the help mostly away. In conclusion, we would say that we consider Sunday closing, and the keeping of reasonable business hours on week days, one of the important steps toward elevating the florists' trade, or profes- sion, in the minds of the people. The very fact that a florist 's place is open from early morn till late at night, and on Sundays, will of itself unconsciously develop in the average mind an impres- sion that it is a class of business where drudgery and long hours count for more than artistic or professional skill towards success. L. M. C. A Fight With Frost. The interest in flowers is growing fast here, in Ogden, Utah, anc" business is good. I built one house eighty feet long last year and hope, if everything turns out well, to build a house 21x100 for car- nations only. And I will have it built in the east. The one I have was built here, but contractors here don't know how to build a greenhouse. The freight is high from Chicago, but I think the improved construction will pay for the extra cost in time. The weather here has been splendid; roses are in full leaf, also the trees, etc. But last night, April 19, there was a heavy frost, which 1 think will do much damage, as fruit trees are in full bloom. I had all my young carnations planted outside by Arbor day, but do not know as yet what the outcome will be. I put pans and buckets full of water between the rows, and the ice was two inches thick at 2:45 a. ni., but the water draws the frost toward it. I also started at once to cover as many carnations as possible with empty pots. We had a snow storm all day, but at night the weather cleare The Hellantlius (lUiis.) 17-10 Order and Cleanliness 1740 The Ketall Klorlst— Memorial I»n.v 1741 — Saltford's Conservatory (lllus. ) 1741 — Uetailer's Advertising 1741 — Sunday Funerals 1741 — A Carnation Armful (llliis. ) 1742 — Tented Funerals 1742 Cyclamen 1742 Crotou Weismannl (lllus.) 174:; Why Use Cypress? 174:i The Men We Meet— M.

This may be called between-season with the rose and carnation growers, but the demand for competent help is still ahead of the supply. Why not ask a little higher retail price for bedding stock this year? Every item entering into the cost of produc- tion has advanced in price since last season. The cuttings of Red Lawson carnation are not in active demand; in fact, those who have propagated it beyond their own requirements report it slow sale. It is not red enough to fill the bill. COLEUS. I am thinking of building a green- house expressly for growing rooted cut- tings of coleus for wholesale trade. In I am having a very nice trade this spring — far better than common— and I have to thank for it, as IT IS THE ONLY ADVERTISING MEDIUM I AM USING. F. A. BALLER. Bloomington, 111* April 22, 1907. a house 16x75 feet could I grow enough to make it profitable by having the stock plants in the center bench? What tem- perature would be required for best re- sults? About how many stock plants would be required for the center bench, say 6x70 feet, to be rooted on the side benches? Please give me some idea of the number of cuttings that could be jiroduced in the season for spring trade. M. W. W. A house of the size named should prove quite suitable for growing coleus. It should be piped so as to give a mini- mum temperature of 60 degrees in cold weather, for coleus needs a warm house. Your propagating bed needs to be on the north side. A better plan would be a small section especially for this pur- pose; then you could maintain just the right condition needed. Coleus, however, is easily rooted and with some bottom heat and the necessary shade and water- ing, few or none should fail to root. Coleus grows so speedily that propaga- tion is neither necessary nor desirable before the end of February. The tons of the early struck cuttings can be uscvl again and it will hardly pay to bother with more than two batches from your old stock plants. Of the latter, there is no need to pot up a large number. F.i- such a house as you describe lift 100 aivt you should have no trouble in filling >r with stock from them. In fact, yt ,, could raise more if necessary. We presume plants from small pots a, - desired for spring trade. If rooted ci, tings are wanted, it would be as well • . fill the whole center bench with stoi plants and use the side benches for pro agating. Allow them to root throuj. i into some soil and in this way keep \-,; their vigor. The exact number of cii tings to be raised depends so much ( whether cuttings are to be sold fro; i sand or potted that it would be difficu'' to give any estimate. If cuttings onl-. 25,000 should be produced easily. If p( plants, of course additional greenhous ■ space, were it at command, would insui • your having the same number. C. W. THE DEATH ROLL. Edward W. Fenn. Edward W. Fenn, aged 62 years, dicil Sunday morning, April 14, of a disease of the liver, at his home on High street, Terryville, Conn. He had been ill all winter. About thirty years ago he built a greenhouse upon the farm where ho had always lived, and from that time he gave all his attention to growing flowers. He was fond of his work and was so suc- cessful in it that his place became th(> center of attraction for a considerable section of the country. Mr. Fenn was twice married, his first wife being Misf Jeanette Van Buren, by whom he had one son, Clarence Fenn. His second wife survives him. He is also survived by his son and his father, Stephen Fenn, who is 84 years of age. William Matters. William Watters, the oldest citizen of Charlestown, W. Va., died April 16 at his residence, in that city, of old age. He was a Scotchman and came to this coun- try when a young man, conducting green- houses for many years. He is survived by a widow, one son and two daughters, all of Charlestown. John C. Buckmeister. John B. Buckmeister, a nurseryman, is dead at Fort Scott, Kan. He was born near Frederica, Del., on July 17, 1842, and was the son of Geo. W. Buckmeister and Mary Burchenal. He removed to Freedom, Lafayette County, Mo., in September, 1859, with his parents, being then at the age of 17. In March, 1862, he joined Company B, of the Seventli Missouri state militia and served with bravery for three years. After the war was over, in the spring of 1865, in John- son County, Mo., he married Miss Eliza- beth Burrow, and from this union seven children have been born, five of whom survive him. He located at Fort Scott in 1882, where he developed much skill in horticulture. MOLINE, III. — William Knees is hav- ing an office built of Moline sandstone brick. Last summer Mr. Knees erected a greenhouse at the rear of his property and he expects to build at least two more this summer. APRIL 25, 1907.

Last week was an exceptionally heavy one and business started ofiE this week in a way which gave the wholesalers much encouragement. While supplies were con- siderably increased by a couple of warm, bright days, the demand Monday was ■such that the market was well cleaned up at good prices. There always is a lull on Tuesday and Wednesday, with in- creasing shipping demand Thursday and Friday and the best local trade Saturday morning. The shipping demand has been active over since the cold weather shut off pro- duction and it continues good now that ■uts are on the increase. Local buying is considerably improved, but is not so brisk as to be in keeping with the out of town requirements. While a large part of the stock now received is of excellent quality, there is I considerable demand which calls for pecial stock and those growers who are ortunate enough to be cutting a little 'letter grade than the rest of the market >re receiving a premium. But short roses >re cleaned up quickly, for funeral work, ind bringing fair prices. The medium ^Trades are the ones least in demand and ast to sell. The Beauty again is the weakest item in the market. There is a good demand, onsuming large quantities of long stock, 'mt production is heavy. Eichmond is rounding into its spring form. Quality 's excellent and production large with nearly all who are growing it. Killarney is seen in considerable quantity. Bride is selling better than Maid. Chatenay is not much wanted. The cuts of carnations have not in- creased in proportion to the increase in other items. The market is steady, even in the slowest days, and has advanced whenever demand took a spurt. The qual- ity is beginning to run down with many growers and some even have thrown out more or les^ for replanting. New York violets continue to arrive in fair shape. There has been quite a scramble certain days to find valley. Calla lilies still are abundant, but Easter lilies are gone, except for those from cold storage bulbs, and as a result prices on good lilies have advanced to the place held before Easter. Not many tulips or daffodils are seen, but there now are gladioli, antirrhinums, pansies and other spring items. Peonies have been delayed by the cold weather and the outdoor lilac is not received in any quantity. Bulb stock again is coming from the south in considerable quantity and is slow sale. The receipts of sweet peas have mul- tiplied several fold in the last week and much of the stock is excellent. They are possibly the most popular flower at the moment and are selling at good prices. There is a good call for greens, but everything of this character can be sup- plied if orders are received before the morning receipts are sold out. To be safe, order the day before. The whole- salers take much interest in ferns and opinions differ as to what may be looked forward to in the month of May. Some of the houses are anxious to unload, while others are advancing prices. It appears that there are so many poor ferns that first-class stock commands a premium. A September Show. At a meeting of the executive commit- tee of the Horticultural Society April 19 it was reported that the Coliseum has been rented for all four weeks in Novem- ber and therefore is not available for a flower show. This led to a call for a general meeting at the Union at luncheon April 23, at which E. Wienhoeber pre- sided. Some seventeen were present. After general discussion, a vote was taken to get the consensus of opinion. It was to the effect that a show should bo held in September, preferably in a tent on the lake front, if such an ar- rangement can be made. It was left with the executive committee. If such a project is carried out it will, of course, mean a wide departure from former show standards. Killarney. It appears that practically every large grower of roses will increase his plant- ing of Killarney this season. Among those who will add one or more houses are Peter Reinberg, Benthey-Coatsworth Co., Poehlmann Bros. Co., George Rein- berg, Bassett & Washburn and Weiland & Risch. Doubtless there are others who have not been heard from. Those who have been successful with the rose say that if increasing production brings its price down to that of Maid they still will be making more money on it than on any other rose.

From southern Illinois comes Avord that the Old Bed has been practically ruined, but that other sorts are found to have sustained little injury. What are known as local peonies, if grown back from tl)e lake, were far enough advanced by tlie warmth of March so that Old Red has suffered con- siderably, other sorts not at all. Southern peony growers are hoping for a few more days of cool weather, fearing that otherwise the crop cannot be held for Memorial day. Poehlmann's Plans. The Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton Grove, is preparing to largely increase its planting of Richmond and Killarney roses for next season; both sorts have proved highly profitable this season. They have a splendid lot of young grafted Killarney from A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn. Three half houses have been planted with Morton Grove, the Poehlmann sport of Chatenay, and the young plants are in especially good shape. This variety is to be disseminaPted next spring. Various Notes. An advertisement of the Spot Cash Store, at .Joliet, states that the "floral department is now under the manage- ment of Mr. J. D. Thompson, of the Thompson Carnation Co. — which means that the pick of flowers of the Thompson ]>lant are reserved for the people of Joliet and vicinity." The A. L. Randall Co. reports that the supply department has been quite busy since Easter. People are restocking and the call for Decoration day supplies has begun. There was a large attendance of those in the trade April 18, at the funeral of William Louis Kidwell, son of W. H. Kidwell, of John F. Kidwell & Bro. The services were held at the family home, 3 Oakland crescent, where the young man died Tuesday morning. The floral trib- utes were many, for the father is one of the most popular men in the trade and has everyone's sympathy. The choice quality of the flowers used was noted, and the fact that nearly everyone had made something out of the ordinary run of work seen at obsequies where florists are not personally interested. K. ]T. Hunt's report that, while they knew there was a wide interest in the subject of fertilizers, which prompted the publication of "Wise Words," still they are surprised at the number of re- quests received for the booklet ; they have come from every state in the Union. One grower writes, "If ' Wise Words ' are too heavy to mail, please express me a copy. ' ' There is, no doubt, some pro- found thought in the pamphlet, but wis- dom is not so weighty as to go by freight. Basset t & Washburn state that they will after this season wholly discontinue the growing of Chatenay and Gen. Mac- Arthur. Liberty and I^a Detroit here- after will be grown only for summer blooming. Increased space will be given to Killarney. They have two houses of Liberty in fine shape for a spring crop. O. W. Frese, of the Poehlmann store staff, is serving his second week on the Baumann & Co. have a large decora- tion on at the store of Marshall Field & Co. This is the fifth successive FieM decoration Avhich the Baumann people have supplied. A large part of the ma- terial has been made to order in each case. One of the week's visitors was Chris Lund, of Wausau, Wis., who has a new carnation support in which he was seek- ing to interest local growers. He says that a number of rose growers will use it instead of the usual method of tyinj; for supporting their plants. A trio of the young men of the Wien hoebor Co. gave a very successful dance at a north side club house last Saturday evening. Wietor Bros, report being especially well pleased with the business last week. They say the aggregate of sales was ahead of any week containing a Me morial day or a Thanksgiving in the his- tory of the firm. Crops are large in al! departments. Weiland & Risch say they will find room for two more houses of Killarney next season. E. C. Amling says it is surprising as well as pleasing the way sweet peas hav( been going the last few days. He ha? one grower whose peas have been making up to $2 per hundred in the last fe^^ days. TTie E. F. Winterson Co, is doing a good counter trade in its seed depart- ment.

Green stock is much the same, except hardy ferns, which are scarce and of poor quality. Qub Banquet. The annual banquet of the Gardeners* and Florists' Club was held in the lec- ture room of Horticultural hall Wednes- day evening, April 24. The attendance hardly equaled last year 's, when 250 were present. The higher price of the tickets kept some away, and others, owing to the busy season, could not attend. The gathering, however, was a splendid and representative one and included several visitors from other states. The banquet tables were beautifully decorated with roses, carnations, candidum lilies, antir- rhinums and other seasonable cut flowers and plants. J. W. Duncan was chairman of the decoration committee, being as- sisted by Peter Fisher, G. M. Anderson, S. F. Doten and James L. Miller. Cook acted as caterer in his usual efficient manner. An informal reception preceded the banquet and at the close the tables ware cleared away for dancing, which was kept up until the "we sma' hoors ayont the hoor o' twal. " Edward Hatch had charge of the ticket selling and also had a few felicitous remarks, couched in his usual happy style, to offer the audience after the banquet. Peter Miller acted as chairman of the dancing committee, with an able corps of assistants. Duncan Finlayson proved an ideal chairman for the reception com- mittee. The whole evening was a thor- oughly enjoyable one for all who at- tended. Various Notes. William C. Eust, gardener to Dr. C. G. Weld, showed a large and magnificent flowered specimen of the pure white, sweetly scented Rhododendron Lady Alice Fitzwilliam, which was awarded a silver medal. The members of the landscape garden- ing class of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club had rather unfavorable weather for their field day, on April 19, in the Park- way, West Roxbury, rain and snow fall- ing all afternoon. There was, never- theless, a good attendance and much practical knowledge was gained. It is probable that the unsatisfactory prices realized for bulbs this season will materially reduce the numbers grown in this section another year, unless growers change their minds between now and planting time. J. T. Butterworth is cutting fine Cat- tleya Mossiae at present.- He has a splen- did lot of this cattleya and grows it well. William Sim was, as usual, last in the market with single violets, frame grown. He is still marketing quantities of fine sweet peas and has his violet houses planted with tomatoes. Nephrolepis Whitmani, from H. H. Barrows & Son, graced the tables at the club banquet this week. Messrs. Barrows report a continued heavy call for this popular fern, but think they have a new one coming along to beat it. Walter Mott, the genial representative of Bobbink & Atkins, has just finished a tour in this section. Mr. Mott will next July assume charge of a commer- cial establishment at Sharon, Pa., where his many friends will wish him good luck. W. N. Craig.

Trade in the cut flower line has I'icked lip greatly since my last report, ;ind from the way the retailers scramble lor stock at the wholesale houses every "lorning, everybody must have had a iiood deal of work on hand. The weather opened fine Monday morn- 'ig, the first spring-like day we have had 'or the last six weeks. A few good rains ■re needed to put the ground in shape ■or planting out, and for these our .^rowers are waiting. The wholesalers again have the edge ['n the retailers. Stock of all kinds has "een scarce and prices have gone up a 'cw cents on roses and carnations, and '>e way the trade hustled from one house ^ the other for stock was a caution, bargain signs among the downtown re- tailers were not seen, as carnations were Retailing at 75 cents and $1 per dozen. J^he wholesalers have been cleaning up almost every day in all lines except long Beauties, which have been quite plenti- ful of late. The stock in roses that is coming in seems to be of extra good quality, especially those of Fred Am- niann and Walter "Weber. Their Rich- mond and Chatenay are hard to beat in their present form. Carnations are in great demand and anything that looks good is bought up. Boston Market and Lady Bountiful are fine, but so are Nelson Fisher and Law- son, Few good reds are in. There is plenty of fine valley, also callas. Next week cape jasmine from Texas is expected. Good greens are plen- tiful, except ferns. Various Notes. E. W. Guy, Henry Emunds and A. S. Halstead, three of Belleville's leading florists, spent a day in the city last week, visiting the trade and buying supplies. They all report a good trade since Eas- ter, in design work, cut flowers and plants. Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, Mo., and A. C. Canfield, of Springfield, 111., v«- ited the wholesale houses and some of the trade last week. Philip C. Scanlan has been appointed park commissioner by Mayor Wells, suc- ceeding Robert Aull, who has held the oflice for four years. Mr. Sc.inlan will have the power to appoint the superin- tendent of parks, to succeed George Os- tertag, the present incumbent. Trustee Smith has arranged to hold a meeting of the trustees of the Florists' Club sometime next week, to arrange de- tails for the club's anniversary and re- port at the May meeting of the club. It has been report^ that the fall flower show, which will be given by the St. Louis Horticultural Society, will be ' held in the new exhibition building which will be erected at Jefferson and Wash- ington avenues, this to be the first event given in the new hall, if the report is correct.

Mr. Sanders is a cousin to Edgar Sanders, of Chi- cago, who is the same age as he. Here's hoping that both enjoy many years to come with us. Fred Foster's place, at Broadway and Olive streets, looks lonesome, with every- thing around and above him for rent. Still he is making his usual good show and doing a rushing business. John Burke has given up the idea of renting the big corner at Sixth and Lo- cust streets and will content himself with the old stand as long as trade is as good as it has been. Adolph Brix reports that he had a big week with funeral work and that as soon as the weather permits he will start building his new houses at his Mead avenue establishment. His foreman, Henry Braun, has left his employ and will look for larger fields. Frank Fillmore had great success this year forcing candidum lilies for Easter. This stock was handled by Kuehn and brought good prices. Mr. Fillmore says he will make a specialty of these next year. The plantsmen at the Union market report trade not so good last week, owing to the cold weather. The seedsmen, too, came in for a little slack time during the cold snap. Should this keep up planting out will not begin before May 1 and then all hands will have to hurry. At their installation last week, the newly elected councilmen and the new appointees of the mayor received a num- ber of large floral designs and bouquets of American Beauties. In the council chamber every desk was filled with flow- ers. American Beauties were in pro- fusion. J. J. B. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS. Adyertlsements under this head one cent a word. CASH WITH ORDER.

Arrangements have been made accordingly and no great in- convenience has resulted. Taken gener- ally, the seed trade recently has been good, some say even a record. Prices mostly have been higher; quality gen- erally has been better and more pleasing to the dealer and the customer, and the demand has been bigger than usual. Those firms who do an advertising trade, receiving the bulk of their orders by mail from all parts of the kingdom, re- port the trade as never having been so heavy. Sweet peas possibly have not realized the expectation of some. In my opinion tlu'V have been somewhat over- boomed, and, as is the case when an art- icle is boomed by advertisement, etc., the popularity does not last. I am afraid, therefore, that sweet peas are likely to lose ground in public favor; at least they have reached the zenith of their fame. As previously reported by me in these notes, the trade in the better and choicest class of flower seeds has been excep- tionally good, probably never better — a sure proof that the trade of the country is in a flourishing condition. Garden peas, although at times very low prices prevailed, considering the big stocks, have cleaned up moderately well, the returns generally being nothing to grumble at. This is probably due in a great measure to the pleasing samples. The seed potato trade, as far as the old and well tried varieties are concerned, is in a booming condition. For such old sorts as Puritans, Myatts, Dates, etc., the demand has never been greater, some of the largest distributors informing me Summer-Blooming Bulbs.

The Review would be glad to receive photographs of houses of forced vege- tables, or any other photographs pertain- ing to the subject of growing vegetables under glass. In all markets the best grade of greenhouse-grown vegetables is holding its own in price, but lower grades are suffering from the competition of the southern outdoor stock. VEGETABLE MARKETS.

Would you buy seeds now for three crops, or would you let the seeds- men carry it, and order the quantity wanted for each sowing? Could I run in a house of mums, planting early, and follow with cucumbers, or would it be better to follow with a crop of lettuce and then cucumbers? Would it be wise to get my cucumber seed now? Will Mr. Croydon please state at what date he procures his seeds and how he stores them until wanted for sowing? Do they lose vitality easilv? Illinois climate. '_ H. R. If you intend your lettuce to follow a crop of chrysanthemums you will not be required to sow seed before Septem- ber 20. This would give you ample time to get good, strong plants for setting out in the benches. If you mean to plant your whole house at one time and follow with another crop of lettuce, your next sowing would have to be made about three months after the first, as you will have to calculate on that length of time for your crop to mature from time of sowing. It is immaterial whether you procure all your seed at one time or get it as you need it. If you have a good place for keeping it, and there is no danger of its being destroyed by mice, it would be just as well to get it all together ; other- wise get it as you want it and let the seedsman carry it.

Lettuce seed over a year old is not to be depended on, but cu- cumber seed is good for two years at least. I think your best plan, seeing that you are just starting in the vegetable forcing business, would be to grow a crop of let- tuce to succeed the chrysanthemums and follow with cucumbers, if you decide to grow the latter. By the time the cu- cumber plants reach the setting period the weather will be sufficiently bright to make the setting operation easy com- pared with conditions as they exist dur- ing the dull days of winter; but if you should take two crops of lettuce and then follow Avith cucumbers, I am afraid you would be too late in getting the crop matured to be sure of remunerative prices, as the southern products would be plentiful in the markets by the time you had your crop ready.

Sweet peas have been scarce and the demand for them has been much in excess of the supply. It is expected that the sup- ply will increase this week, as several growers report a crop about ready to cut. Lilies of all kinds have been scarce and in demand, and other varieties of bulbous flowers are the same. Ferns and smilax are also on the scarce list. There is some good Asparagus plumosus in strings to be had in large quantities. Various Notes. During the recent meeting of the Na- tional Baseball Commission in this city T. W.

The price of trees of Mcintosh Red apple has gone up far above the record. A NOTICE of the death of John B. Buckmeister, Fort Scott, Kan., appears in the obituary column this week. It is reported that the recent cold weather did much damage to the peach crop in Georgia, the Elbertas suffering more than any other variety. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has issued a bulletin. Circular No. 83 of the bureau of entomology, entitled "The Locust Borer and Methods for Its Con- trol. ' ' J. W. Adams & Co., Springfield, Maas., say that the Amoor Eiver privet was the only ligustrum growing on their grounds that did not suffer in the winter just closed. The railroads have been busy gathering information as to the damage done to fruit crops by the cold weather follow- ing the three weeks of spring in March. They find no great losses. The German reichstag is wrestling with the problem of overcoming the phylloxera and is considering the reno- vating of vineyards with American stocks as the only means promising ultimate success. The mayor of Bartlesville, I. T., has appointed a * ' beautifying commitee, ' ' to have chaj-ge of civic improvement. The committee has bought a quantity of orna- mental nursery stock, which is being sold to citizens in small lots at cost price. A, E. Reynolds, Boonville, N. Y., says that he has charge of about 2,000 feet of hedge of the common thornapple and that he knows of nothing better for northern New York. It is perfectly hardy and if kept trimmed makes a beau- tiful hedge. A southern nursery is advertising in farm papers to supply "fine, thrifty, June budded Elberta peach trees, two to three feet high" at 2 cents each. Here's hoping they may make something at it besides trouble for those who ask a decent price for well-grown stock. Martin Dolan and Daniel Norris, who recently bought the Lapham farm, at Bridgewater, Mass., which included twen- ty-five acres of nursery stock, part of tlie defunct Shady Hills Nurserv Co. land, have decided to sell off all the stock and not operate it as a nursery. They have already recently received sev- eral offers for the entire stock. One of the unique features of the Chanute Nurseries, of James Truit «fc Sons, Chanute, Kan., is the advertising wagon, a six-horse affair, which traverses the country roads of se\-eral states, with men who put up signs and distribute ad- vertising matter. The business is grow- ing steadily and fast. A storage and packing shed 100x225 is the latest addi- tion to the facilities. 1776 The Weekly Florists^ Review* April 25, 1907.

Incorporation papers have been ap- plied for at Springfield by Colonel Ben- nitt, George A. Barr and James H. Fer- riss for the Joliet Nurseries Co., Joliet, 111,; capital, $10,000. The purpose ot the organization will be that of a general nursery business and landscape garden- ing. Special attention Avill be given to ornamental stock. The nurseries at West Chester, Pa,, are still busy shipping, the continued cool weather operating in their favor. Buds were not far enough advanced by the warm Aveather of March to be in- jured by the cold which followed. The prolonging of the season has enabled the nurserymen to keep well up with their work and the season has been the largest in years. Deutzia Lemoinei is a shrub that blooms freely early in the spring, at a time when there is not an abundance of shrub bloom. The plant is almost covered with panicles of pure white flow- ers carried above the leaves, the con- trast giving a striking appearance. This shrub grows to a height of about four feet and is equally satisfactory, accord- ing to the publicity bureau of the Na- tional Council of Horticulture, as a hedge plant, in the mixed border or as a specimen plant in the lawn. It is easily kept in neat form by a small amount of pruning, which should be done after the plants bloom. It is perfectly hardy, of easy culture and rapid growth. THE BILTMORE CATALCXjUE. The Biltmore Nursery was established in 1889, For ten years almost the entire output Avas used on the Vanderbilt es- tate, in the landscape and forest plan- tations, Avhich have become world famous. In 1898 the Biltmore Nursery entered the commercial field and is steadily adding to the extent of its business. The 1907 catalogue of the Biltmore Nursery is attracting a great deal of attention in the trade. It contains 192 pages and is new from cover to cover. It contains 215 illustrations, all half-tones from pho- tographs made in the nursery, and there are 2,736 items of stock listed in the index. Tliere is no more complete nurs- ery catalogue issued in this country and there is none which was compiled with more care or printed with closer atten- tion to details. The presswork appeals with special force to one accustomed to printing. The copy was written by Mr, Beadle and the illustrating and printing done by J, Horace McFarland. It is such a book as cannot be turned out on a few days ' notice, but it is sure to lead to much better nursery printing in the future. Such a book gives the reader the idea that here, indeed, is a nursery 25,000 MOSS PINKS (PHLOX SUBULATA) In three separate colors, pink, pure white and white with pink eye; well rooted, strong plants; $1.60 per 100; $10.00 per 1000.

CRATAEGU.S Crus-galli, the cockspur thorn, is one of the hardiest of the thorns, and, besides being hardy, it is very handsome when in flower, especially \vhen the tree has attained a height of twelve feet or more. If properly looked after it will, in that stage, be covered with flowers in May, which give place to large haws, or fruit bright red in color, in tlie fall of the year. The English hawthorn, C. Oxyacantha, is another thorn beautiful while in bloom, and it has also the additional merit of its flow- ers being very fragrant. The double- flowered hawthorns are beautiful for lawn planting. The silver maple, Acer dasycarpum, is one of the best maples for street plant- ing, especially when quick effect is sought rather than durability.

Wieri laciniatum, is an offspring of the silver maple and, like it, grows rapidly and is prized for the quick effect it is capable of, as well as for its distinguishing fea- tures, deeply out leaves and drooping branches. The bed maple, Acer colchicum ru- brum, is frequently planted because of the contrast it makes; the young foliage is bright red in early summer and it makes a second growth in August of the same color. This maple is not a quick grower by any means. The purple Norway maple, Acer Schwedleri, is another beautiful maple in its young summer growth of reddish purple, and again in autumn it presents a gorgeous appearance, changed to har- monizing shades of golden tints. K. E. THE GIANT BURNING BUSH. To many people there is attached to the dictamnuses an air of mystery be- cause of the peculiar property the com mon D. fraxinella has of emitting a kind of inflammable vapor, which will b8rn if a light is applied to it under certain circumstances, particularly on a calm and rather dull evening. Apart from this, however, the dictamnuses are hand- some border plants, whose distinct mien and flowers give it a peculiar value in the border. Still more valuable and an admirable plant for the border, is the giant burn- ing bush, Dictamnus caucasicus, or D. giganteus, a species not at all plentiful in gardens, but which is now, says a British journal, offered in seeds, and la thus easily procured, although the seeds may sometimes be a little slow of ger- minating unless sown as soon as ripe. Compared with the old D. fraxinella, which has changed its name, by the way, and should now be D. albus var. rubra, it is considerably more imposing by reason of its taller stature and its larger flowers. Its flowers are a kind of rosy purple. The dictamnuses are good dry weather plants so far as resistance to drought is concerned, sending down long, thong- like roots which draw moisture from CRIMSON RAMBLER Two years, strong:, fteld-grown, at $7.00 per 100, a few other varieties still to be had in No. 1 stock, as well as a good assortment of SHRUBS, SHADES, CONIFERS, VINES AND PERENNIALS For Spring planting;.

The Market. There is still some complaint about business being slow and the weather gets most of the blame. A few hours' sun- shine, but with a cold wind, some rain and on last Thursday three inches of snow, is enough to affect business. One thing is certain; it has affected stock. Roses have shortened up so that they clean up at fair prices every day. Carnations are scarce, not enough com- ing in to supply the demand. There is still a surplus of Beauties, selling at low prices, but there is little demand for them, except on the street stands. Lilies are quite plentiful, but violets have shortened up and will soon be things of the past. Greens of all kinds are plentiful, ex- cept smilax and ferns. Various Notes. Edward Eeid, of Philadelphia, was looking our city over last week. Miss L. L. Lockhart, of Youngstown, O., was a visitor. She reports business in that city as excellent. F. H. Kramer, Washington, D. C, sent a bunch of his new rose, Queen Beatrice, to the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. for ex- hibition. They received them Saturday and Monday they were in fine shape. They occasioned a good deal of favor- able comment, on account of their keep- ing qualities, their good stems and foli- age and the color of the rose, which is a beautiful deep pink, showing up well when open under the electric light. The general opinion was that it is a good thing and is needed. J. B. Murdoch & Co. are receiving a great many fancy Beauties. M. Bloy is now foreman for the Pitts- burg Rose & Carnation Co. Joseph Jones is a victim of quinsy. Hoo-Hoo.

Calumet will soon have a new green- house if present plans of the Dale broth- ers mature. The two brothers, James H. and Walter Dale, are now looking over the ground and, while they have several sites offered them, have not decided ex- actly where they will locate. It is pos- sible that Laurium may be the town where they will build, as there is an ex- cellent site available there. Dale Bros, expect to go into the busi- ness with the purpose of making their greenhouses the most modern in the cop- per country. The work will commence on the buildings as soon as the snow is off the ground and they will be ready for business before next fall. Both the brothers are experienced flo- rists. James H. Dale is now in the em- ploy of A. M. York, of Hancock. He was at one time employed with A. E. Lutey, at the Calumet greenhouse. Wal- ter Dale recently came to this country and has an excellent reputation as a florist. GRAND ISLAND. NEB. Edward Williams and S. H. Brewster have dissolved partnership, Mr. Williams buying over the entire stock, valued at $12,000. Owing to ill health Mr. Brew- ster was forced to retire from the busi- ness and Mr. Williams, the junior part- ner of the firm, will take full charge. The property consists of a half block almost covered with greenhouses, on North Elm street, and about two other blocks on which stock plants are grown, Mr. Will- iams contemplates making a number of changes, which, however, have not been definitely decided upon. Mr. Brewster has not decided what to do, but thinks something of leaving the city. New Garden, Pa. — Thompson Eich- ards is erecting a number of new green- houses and having other work done about his place. Clinton, Mo. — M. L. Bonham states that he will retire from business this season, on account of old age and in- firmity. He is nearly 72. Brewer, Me. — The Mount Hope Floral Co. has been organized for the purpose of carrying on a wholesale and retail floral, horticultural and nursery business. The capital stock is $10,000. The oflScers are: President, Helen M. Tolman, of Bangor; treasurer, Alfred C. Blake, of Brewer.

SOUTH BEND. IND. A business deal was consummated April 19 by which the business of Trea- nor & Eettic, established twenty-five years ago, comes into possession of the South Bend Floral Co., the firm of Treanor & Eettic dissolving partnership. Mr. Treanor will continue with the South Bend Floral Co. as decorator and store manager, while Mr. Eettic will con- duct the greenhouses in the rear of North Lafayette street. The South Bend Floral Co. was or- ganized about five years ago with Clem W. Studebaker, president; William K. Studebaker, secretary; Irving Gingrich, treasurer and manager. Walter Topper is manager of the store. They have four large greenhouses, covered by 35,000 square feet of glass, at 804 East Dubail avenue, and at present oflBces are in the basement at the corner of Washington and Main streets. Their establishment is one of the most modern in the west. By acquisition of the Treanor & Eettic business they come into possession of the lease on a storeroom in the Oliver hotel, where they will remove June 1. Fernandina, Fla. — Gus. Gottichlich has started in the business here, handling both florists' and nursery stock. Harrisburg, Pa. — Charles Uttley is spending a week in New York for the purpose of visiting the trade there and getting the latest ideas in flower work. He has made a specialty of designs and decorations. Waterloo, Ia. — The lively way in which the spring trade is opening up has convinced Charles Sherwood that he must have more spacious quarters in or- der to handle it properly. He concluded negotiations April 18 for half the space in the building at 303 East Fourth street. Union City, Pa. — Easter trade was good and business has been generally satisfactory. J. K. Postma says young carnations were all planted out the lat- ter part of March. Fruit and truck were bit by the frost Saturday night, April 13, and the water was covered with ice. New Castle, Ind. — The extent of the mail order business done by Heller Bros., as a result of their magazine advertising, is shown by the fact that one recent mail brought them an order from Daw- son, Alaska, one from Nova Scotia and another from Chili. The Alaskan gave explicit directions as to shipping "so the plants would reach him by August 1. ' ' BARGAINS pirr""™ BBADT FOB M&BKET AT OHCE.

YOD SSd all the best OFFERS ALL the time in the Review's Classified Advs. 1788 The Weekly Florists^ Review* April 25, 1907. BALTIMORE. The Market. The weather conditions last week were extremely bad ; nearly all the early fruits were destroyed and much damage was done to outdoor plants. All the outdoor work is at a standstill. Our growers at this time of the year usually dispose of a large number of potted plants, but I regret to say the reverse is true this sea- son and they are in need of the space that the plants now occupy. Some of the carnation growers have set their stock out in the field. One reports that he lost a few plants. At present it ia hard to tell the outcome, but according to the weather man there is likely to be an improvement soon, the old prosperous times will return and all the boys will wear the smile that won't come off. Business conditions last week were fair. A few weddings have taken place, which made a call for decorations. Fu- neral work still holds out. Roses and carnations are coming in heavy enough to meet the demands. American Beauties are abundant, selling as low for long-stemmed buds as $6 a dozen. Violets are offered at a low figure, while there is a bit of bulbous stock on the market moving slowly. Greens of all kinds are coming a little more regularly. Various Notes. Charles Cook, of West Mosher street extended, is displaying a fine collection of hydrangeas. B. StoU, Brooklyn, Md., reports that Easter week he cut 2,700 carnations and last week he cut 1,500. He had quite a quantity of bulbous stock for Easter, but considering the carnations more valuable, cast his bulbous stock aside. John Donn is still bringing Easter stock to the market, but it moves slowly. Quite a number of florists are growing vegetable plants this year. J. R. Bland, Catonsville, Md., is erect- ing a small house. George Morrison, gardener at Uplands, is erecting two new houses. The wintry weather that now exists has seriously affected the counter seed trade and the nursery business. J. L. T. Seasonable Stock Geraninmi. standard var , 2-ln., 8c; 3^-in., 7c Mme.

In a previous installment, published April 18, various phases of hot water systems for heating greenhouses were discussed. The hot water method is so much to be commended for small places that we will take up the consideration of some of the other points: Expansion Tank. The expansion tank oonuected with such a system is located over the boiler above the highest point in the system. This tank is connected by a pipe to the return main and also to the water sup- ply. It is equipped with a glass water column and an overflow pipe leading to some outside drainage. The object of this expansion tank is to prevent the waste of water by overflow, and hence to save fuel and hot water. In appara- tus of this description water heated, say from 40 to 212 degrees will expand about one-twentieth of its volume, and unless an open expansion tank is pro- vided the waste through overflow will be considerable. Good Greenhouse Heater. A good, effective boiler for green- house work should have a coal area of about fifty per cent larger than that of the grates, which is essential for main- taining a proper temperature during the cold winter nights. Anything short of this amount of space may cause trouble at critical moments. The firebox should be tinusually deep to provide ample space for good combustion of the gases, and the fire channels over the fireboxes to the boilers should incline toward the fire, so as to direct the heat directly against the boiler surface. The concentration of the fire in a series of currents thus pro- duces more force than if scattered. The firebox should pf operly be con- . nected with the smoke pipe so that no smoking or back-draft can follow. By means of a wide U-shaped flue extend- ing a considerable distance parallel with the boiler a good part of the escaping heat is utilized in heating the water. The grates should be of ample size and designed to receive and hold a good bed of coals, and when cleaned be sim- W« taav* a largre lot of olioio* 4-lacli Boiler tnbss (••ooad-hand) which we will ssU at a -Write for prices at once KROESCHELL BROS.

This does away with the "separate base," and enables you in making a repair to take out any one section desired, and simply draw the boiler together again, with but a slight loss of time and almost no trou- ble. Another feature of the Florence is that it is so conservatively rated that the difference in the capacity of the boiler when running under this condition would scarcely be noticeable, enabling you to get along until repairs arrive. As a matter of fact, Florence Heat- ers, on account of their superior con- struction, are not ordinarily subject to strains in the weakest point, which break so many heaters; consequently purchas- ers are relieved of the great expense for repairs so common with most of the present-day heaters.

Without properly designed grates the heater never will give satisfaction, and all the improvements made in other parts of the plant will be nullified. What Makes Circulation* The application of the principle of hot water circulation to greenhouse heat- ing is due to its adaptability. In in- stalling such a plant it must be remem- bered that it is gravity which produces the circulation of the water through the system. It is the difference in the weight between ascending and descend- ing columns of water in the perpendic- SAVE Fuel. Water, Repairs. HOW? By InstalllnK a Morehead Trap Write us for a 80 day's trial.

This means that the heated water be- comes lighter. As it becomes heated and lighter in the boiler through expan- sion it is forced through the boiler out- lot and flow-pipes to the radiating coils hy the colder water descending through fhe return pipes. The water as it makes its journey imparts its heat to the sur- rounding atmosphere and grows heavier ill weight and density. By the time it I'aches the boiler again it is suflSciently ")ol and heavy to force the lighter "ater up through the same circulation. To secure the most desirable results 'ith such a system, the pipes and mains 'lould be laid out with as few sharp i-'dines as possible, and the outlet -'lould be of ample size and placed at •he highest point of the boiler. This in- ■ires free and rapid circulation with •iie minimum of friction.

WAYSIDE NOTES. Dan Murphy, of the Doyle Green- houses, Cambridge, Mass., says two of the best sellers at Easter were Cleroden- dron Balfouri and Bougainvillea Sanderi- ana. It is strange that these showy plants are not more largely grown, for they sell at sight, and the demand for pot plants being on the increase, one cannot get too large a variety of salable kinds. Fred Vetter, at the Hoffman place, at Cambridge, showed the writer a grand batch of cyclamens in 3-inch pots, seed sown last August. For the last two seasons his plants have been prize-win- ners at the spring show at Boston, caus- ing much favorable comment. It proves his argument in favor of early sowing. When last visiting this place I reported a species of stem-rot in Easter lilies. Strange to say, it appeared in a few only, the remainder being perfectly healthy, and the crop came in just at Easter. J. M. Ward, of Peabody, Mass., and I paid a visit to Welch Bros., Boston, and were piloted by the worthy Patrick Welch through this up-to-date establish- ment and the order and system appealed to me as most commendable. First impres- sions are great, and one of the most nec- essary essentials today in our business is system. The popularity of the azalea seems to be as strong as ever. W. W. Edgar, of Waverly, Mass., had grand specimens for Easter and every one sold. There is a demand for plants of pyramidal form, which are never abundant. The Sunday closing law is being strictly enforced in Boston. I noticed the auto of Thomas Galvin out making a special delivery on Sunday morning, but it almost requires a permit to be al- lowed to look in the store windows of the Hub just now, so strict are the blue laws. Bayersdorfer landed here today and has secured three sample rooms at the Quincy House to accommodate the immense line of samples. W. M. Kramer's Poi Hanger For Sale by Wholessle Seedsmen.

The Market The weather has been favorable to the growers, but not the best for the re- tailers, as we have had a cold north wind blowing and customers preferred to re- main indoors. Saturday it warmed up nicely and, as the rose market has been glutted all week, a great many cheap sales were on. About every dealer had signs on his window offering roses at 50 cents per dozen. The street dealers also were much in evidence, and the de- partment stores were offering special in- ducements. Carnations are not any too plentiful and on that account prices have kept up. Funeral work has been heavy, the city demand being especially strong. Mlfmeapolis. Kalph I^atham has had a good busi- ness all week. The sales on roses by different concerns induced him to lower prices to some extent, but he obtained fair prices on everything. Amundson & Kerschner turned over considerable stock all week. Saturday the demand was especially strong and the results for the week they report as being very satisfactory. "Will & Son are cutting some fine Rich- mond, Bride and Maid. Their carnations are also good and find a ready market. Sunday morning trade seems to cut quite a figure with practically all the stores. St PauL The Eamaley Floral Co. has something new and simple in the way of a wire loop on which to make sprays. With it a great many ferns are saved and it is much easier to make a shapely spray. C. F. Vogt had a banner week, the demand being confined to funeral de- signs. Trade since Easter, he says, has kept up well. Robert C. Seegar has filed a petition in bankruptcy, scheduling assets of $175 and liabilities of $2,352.34. L. L. May & Co. have had a heavy wcd^ Funeral designs were the main issue; Holm & Olson are doing a big busi- ness. . Felix. SPRAGUE, SMITH CO. J^u*K,S^r. ..

Talk is cheap— as the old saying goes— and it's just about true when it comes to green- house material. Every firm says they have the best and that their material is the only kind to use— that if you use the other fellow's goods you'll be sorry, for he doesn't know anything about making greenhouses. The other fellow comes back and says everybody else makes shade traps but him, that they are in the lumber business and never knew how to build a greenhouse. How much of all this talk do you believe? Talk IS cheap, but we've got more successful florists and growers behind our statements than any other firm— they are satisfied customers too.

The fact is that such a statement only goes to prove that it is like every other firm's material and certainly that's no proof for your buying it. Now, when a man says to you that he furnishes you with the very best Cypress, sap free, and all that sort of thing, do you ask him how many feet of this he has air-drying ? Can he prove to you that not a stick of it goes into your greenhouse before it is air-dried fully two years? Does he take this material out of the yard of a lumber company or out of his own yard ? Will the lumber yard company sort the stuff out for him, discarding all sappy piieces, giving him the cream of the lot ? Do you really believe a lumber company does business that way ? Now, here is our point, we control large tracts of lumber lands in the South, cut all our own wood, ship it North in our own vessels, and always have at least five million feet air-drying. Not a stick of this wood goes into your house before it has been air-dried for two years; and that is not all, every piece that comes to the mill is passed on by^our expert, who chalks every sappy spot, be it white or blue sap. All sappy parts are then sawed out and burned up* Now notice the words, "burned up." We do not think it is a fair deal to use any of these sappy pieces in the smaller parts of ventilating sash, or out of sight places. You get just as good wood in these smaller parts as you do in the sashbars. Lord & Burnham Co. Gf nheu«» D»«ignT« and Manufacturra* NEW YORK OFFICES 1133 Broadway, Corner 26th Street.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ izn Tf^<^imL<^'n>m'n''0'n^m^n.'^^'*'n,>*^%.'m^n.^m^n.'^'H.'m'^^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS J on 1" iin Aquatics. ,0 of the most delightful features of parks, public gardens and of many ,tc estates are the ponds of nym- s, nelumbiums and other aquatic IS. Commercially they are not as 1 grown as they might be, but many ilo) ..-ts are asked advice as to their treat- mi ' and not infrequently take contracts to i'lant ponds with them. It will soon be time to set out the hardier nymphaeas. Wo have now a wonderful variety of th'^so beautiful aquatic flowers, due in larye measure to the painstaking labors of M. Marliac, the French hybridist, who by crossing the common English water lily, N. odorata, with the Cape Cod pink pond lily, N. odorata rosea, and the Flor- ida variety, N. flava, has given us a won- derful range of colors in this regal plant. Tonds or pools for the culture of aquatics are often artificial, in which case walls of masonry or concrete and a bottom of concrete or clay puddled to a depth of six or eight inches, are neces- sary. The action of severe frost is lia- ble to cause cracks in these artificial pools, which it may be necessary each spring to repair. The water should be from two to three feet deep and for compost a mixture of two-thirds pasture sod and one-third rotted cow manure is suitable. In some cases boxes four feet square and a foot deep are used to hold this compost, which should carry most varieties two years, although some culti- vators prefer to plant annually. If pos- sible, prepare the compost some time be- fore it is needed and cover with a layer of two inches of coarse sand after plant- ing. It would be well to bear in mind that under natural conditions nymphaeas grow in full sunshine and they should not, therefore, be planted near overhanging trees. It should also be remembered that in their natural state they have rich, alluvial mud in abundance and their food must not be stinted. In many of the concrete creations on expensive estates there is an objection to having the water clouded. The idea is to sit and watch the gambols of the carp or pickerel in tho pellucid water, but aquatics need more than clear water to thrive in and if an abundance of rich soil is not pro- vided, poor plants will be the result. Do not set the plants too closely. They should be allowed fifty to seventy-five square feet of space each. The Best Nymphaeas. The hardy varieties of nymphaea can be planted early in May. We notice that those in our ponds are already growing quite a little in spite of the cold, back- ward spring. Here are a few of the best hardy varieties, which can be left out over winter if the roots are at a sufl5cient depth to be clear of freezing: N. odorata, pure white; N. odorata rosea, pink, commonly called the Cape Cod pond lily; N. odorata sulphurea, yellow; N. Marliacea chromatella, yellow; N. Mar- liacea rosea, pink; N. Marliacea albida, white ; N. tuberosa, white, a luxuriant grower, needs more space than other va- rieties; N. Laydekeri rosea, rosy pink, and N. Eobinsoniana, another hybrid of M. Latour-Marliac, color yellow, overlaid with reddish purple. A few of the best tender sorts to plant are: N. Zanzibariensis, dark blue; N. pulcherrima, light blue; N. dentata and N. dentata magnifica, pure white; N. Devoniensis, red; N. rubra-rosea, red; N. Capensis, sky blue; N. Zanzibariensis rosea, rosy pink; N. Mrs. C. W. Ward, rosy pink, and N. O'Marana, reddish pink. As some of the tender varieties are night bloomers only, in purchasing a selection it should be stated whether night or day blooming sorts are wanted. Tender varieties should not be set out until the first week in June, when the water has become well warmed, and must be stored in winter in a tank of moder- ately warm water. Nelumbiums. The nelumbiums, or lotuses, are noble aquatic plants, but are better grown in a separate pond from the nymphaeas, as they grow so much more luxuriantly and throw their foliage and flowers a con- siderable height above the water. They should be planted about the middle of May, certainly not later than June 10. They require a good bed of rich mud and, while they may not grow very fast nor bloom much the first year, they will increase rapidly and flower freely in succeeding years. The nelumbiums are all perfectly hardy in our northern states. A few good varieties are: N. speciosum, Egyptian lotus, rose; N. Pekinensis rubrum, .rosy carmine; N. luteum, yellow; N. album grandiflorum, white, and N. kermesina, pink. Other Aquatics. A few good aquatics to use in addi- Pond of Hardy Aquatics at Lincoln Park, Chicago. ■■•"■ -" ' r- 1812 The Weekly Florists^ Review* May 2, 1907. tion to nymphseas and nelumbiums are: Cyperus papyrus, Egyptian paper plant; Limnocharis Humboldtii, water poppy; Eichhornia crassipes major, water hya- cinth ; Myriophyllum proserpinacoides, parrot's feather; Aponogeton distach- yum, cape pond weed; Pistia Stratiotes, water lettuce; Pontederia cordata, pick- erel weed; Sagittaria Montevidensis, giant arrowhead; Limnocharis Plumieri, Typha latifolia, the well-known cat-tail, and Saururus cernuus, lizard's tail. Hardening: Off Bedding Stock. Some attention should now be given to the gradual hardening off of many of the bedding plants. Too little attention is generally given to this, with the con- sequence that the plants, when set out, stand still for a long time, or even de- teriorate. It means a little more work to move your plants around into cooler quarters before planting them outdoors, but it will pay you to do it. Geraniums, if you are getting crowded for room, will now do well in frames. So will verbenas, dianthus, Drummond's phlox, petunias, ageratums and a number of other sorts. Coleus, alternanthera, Sal- via splendens, heliotrope and other ten- der plants must still be kept in the greenhouses. Place a layer of coal ashes to set the pots or flats on; it keeps worms away. See that the sashes are tight and be sure to close them on cool nights, but gradually increase the toothsome chewing for the cut-worms which invariably do an immense amount of damage each spring. The earliest asters should be sufficiently hardened to plant out by the middle of the month and ten weeks' stocks can go out any time. A light freezing will not hurt them. By planting out the hardier sorts now the work will be a little less strenuous toward the end of May. Brief Reminderi* A second sowing of sweet peas is now seasonable. Cover the seeds to the depth of three inches. The early sowings should now be appearing above ground. Support them with brush or wire netting as soon as possible and thin out if they have come up too thickly. Narcissi and tulips will now be in bloom in the open. Take note of desir- able bedding sorts for future use. The public parks and gardens usually have names attached and it will pay to visit one at the height of the bulb season. Evergreens do well transplanted dur- ing the first half of May. Cool, cloudy days are the best for this work, but we cannot always get such. Do not allow roots to be planted dry. Mulch after planting and a syringing overhead will be appreciated. If you have forgotten to plant out any gladioli in the rush of other work, get a batch out at once.

Plants treated in this way will do much better than if taken right outdoors from a warm green- house. Field Planting. You will probably have your young carnation stock in frames before now, if they are not already planted out, and your violets should be getting hardened oflf. Better to have these well hardened, for the tender, coddled plants make lings are more fully watered. A little carelessness may mean a serious loss. Leave night ventilation in your houses now, if nights are warm. Ericas, such as melanthera, gracilis and caffra densa, can be plunged or planted outdoors any time now. They ought to have been pruned back some- what after flowering. Keep pansies, myosotis, daisies and similar spring flowering plants fully ex- posed now. It will keep them stocky. As they like an abundance of water, do not allow them to suffer from a uu>,i of it. ''''^ Perennial phlox cuttings put in .^j^ni will root freely now and make 'u\^a plants for late flowering. Cuttings TDot easily, treated the same as chrysauthe- mums. Planting of perennials should be , om- pleted as soon as possible, unless . uick is in pots, in which oftse it can be ca ie^ on for some time yet. Plan to reserve a sufficient stock of all bedding plants for propagating • ur. poses another fall. It is best to set them on one side and mark "not for sale, " or " sold. ' ' If you are getting crowded again in- doors, pull out some of the carna: ^ns which have seen their best days nd utilize the space for other plants. If you run your carnations late, ] mt a few tomatoes up the posts. If you cannot sell them all, you can prob 'oly use them at home. EUPATORIUM WEINMANNIAN 'M. Eupatoriums and their near relat-vos, the hebecliniums, are, with few excjp- tiona, natives of our hemisphere. Of the several hundred species known to botanists only a limited number mrrit horticultural recognition. They are eil her summer-flowering herbaceous plants or casual inhabitants of greenhouse or con- servatory, where, in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees, with abundant Jiglit and water given, some varieties have proven to be more or less ornamental winter-flowering pot plants. To the best type of the latter class belongs Eupa- torium "Weinmannianum, a native of tropical South America. This species is of simple culture. Cut- tings strike easily in spring. They should be well established in 3-inch pots in May. If pot culture is intended, I would advise to plant now five to six plants together in, perhaps, a 7-inch size. Eupatoriums are gross feeders and re- quire a rich, loamy soil. When moviu{j them outdoors always plunge your pots in the ground to prevent the soil from drying out too quickly. On hot days water freely morning and night and, after your plants are well rooted, give manure water once a week. Thus treat- ed they should be specimen plants from one and a half to two feet high when, in the autumn, time for housing arrives. Eupatorium Weinmannianum also docs well when planted out in the open ground over summer, especially the kcc- ond year. The bushes should be «iit back somewhat right after flowering, or when moving thera outdoors. On a sunny place, during the growing season they need plenty of moisture and fi"C- quent cultivating. If taken up caio- fully in the fall, and shaded for a !< w days after potting, they lose hardly a y leaves. The specimen illustrated was a t\ ••- year-old plant, which had been gro n in the open ground the previous si* '■ mer. It was flowering in the grc i- houses of Clay Kemble, Esq., in La • rock. Pa., and bore its blossoms " through the months of December a ' January without showing the least si " of fading. Eupatorium Weinmannianum is, ^ course, not a commercial plant in t o present sense of the word; neither r - its handsome flowers, when cut, vc lasting material for vases.

Sources of potash are more infrequent. The importation of potash salts has grown to such proportions that other sources of potash are seldom given con- sideration. Sulphate of potash is gener- ally conceded to be superior to muriate of potash on account of the presence in muriate of potash of chlorides, which are injurious to some plants. Sources of phosphoric acid are always at hand. Perhaps the use of bones as a source is the most common. Pure bone meal is a favorite with many growers, as besides its large percentage of phos- phoric acid it also contains a fair quan- tity of organic nitrogen, which is grad- ually assimilated by the soil, thus adding to its value in preference to phosphate rock. Of late years the large importations of guano have placed a very valuable gen- eral utility fertilizer before the grower. Guano, besides containing generous pro- portions of all three of the fertilizer ele- ments, possesses some peculiar chemical conditions not found elsewhere. The dif- ferent grades of guano are all found to not only advance quickly to a complete resolution to the fertilizer elements, but seem to impart a mellowness and bal- ance to the soil. We would, therefore, conclude that with these the best of the fertilizer ele- ment sources at hand as standards, the true value of a fertilizer may be de- termined by comparison in price and its percentage of available elements in the best form, with the market price and form of those fertilizer sources which are standard. We also would conclude that a fer- tilizer composed solely of these standard fertilizer sources, without the addition of anything else (unless it be a little gypsum or land plaster to act as a chem- icsd reagent), would be the best possi- ble general forcing fertilizer for the many and diversified needs of the mod- ern grower. When all is said and done, by far the most important factor in a fertilizer is that it shall, as far as possible, build up all parts of the plant. Florists or others that build up one part of the plant at the expense of the others soon have a lopsided plant; that is, not healthy and perfect, more liable to dis- ease and never of any permanent vigor; whereas, by building up all parts of the plant, the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit and seeds, a symmetrical and thoroughly healthy plant, full of life and vigor, is obtained. TROUBLE WITH GERANIUMS. I have a fine lot of Geranium John Doyle, but there are a good many of them that are dying off. The foliage looks healthy, but the lower leaves have begun to get yellow. The roots are healthy-looking and the soil is not too wet or too dry. On the bottom of the - ..-■^-■■t.^- itU The Weekly Florists'" Review* Mat 2, 1007. stem they are turning black and dying off. Kindly let me know what is the cause of this. I never had it happen be- fore. They are all good, strong plants and I keep them at 55 degrees to 60 de- grees by night and at 65 degrees by day. F. B. The temperature named should suit geraniums well. The rot on the stem, commonly termed "damping off," is generally caused by too much moisture at the roots. We would advise keeping the plants dry for a few days, to harden the stems, and this should tend to stop the disease. Do not shade them at all, but give full exposure to the sun. Spray overhead once or twice a day to keep the plants from shriveling, but allow the soil in the pots to get quite dry. We think a few days of this treatment will remedy the trouble. C. W. CHRYSANTHEMUM NOTES- WEST. Prepariag for Planting. Chrysanthemum growers should at this time have their space on the benches all figured out. That is, they should have reduced to writing, exactly the number of plants they will require for their space. It should be figured out bench by bench and then the grower should go over his stock and make certain that he has provided the necessary number of plants, and some surplus to provide for the rejection of plants which are not in good shape at the time for benching. A great many times it has happened that a grower would find, when he came to planting his houses, that he was short of the required number of good plants for filling his benches. He then would change his mind and either use the space for some catch crop or let it go with less than the number of plants he had in- tended to grow in the house. In either case the result is a ^aste of space, and space is money to the greenhouse owner. A grower may be short of stock for a variety of reasons. He may have been so busy that he neglected the important detail of propagating, thinking he had plenty of time, or he may have neglected his old stock, allowing them to grow so long that he really got the second batch of cuttings in place of the first. Now, to make up for this set-back in many cases is easy. If the first batch of cut- tings was rooted, potted and planted out at the proper time, in a bench of good, rich soil, they will produce a fine lot of cuttings from now till the end of June. Of course, the early and dwarf varieties, if propagated at this late date, will be short but will give blooms of fair size. The mid-season and late varieties will produce good average blooms and straight stems, as these old plants grow ahead and do not make the crown bud until its natural time. If they are kept cool they can be had late, after the bulk of the chrysanthemum crops have been marketed, when they usually bring excel- lent prices. Care must now be taken to see that the young stock is not allowed to become too tall and spindling. If the stock is now in 2-inch pots, and must remain there until planting time, it is likely to become too tall; planting time may be the latter part of May, so that it would be better to give the plants a little more space one way. This will not only pre- vent their drawing up, but will keep the bottom foliage from becoming yellow and help to keep the stock free from disease. Light and air are essential to chrysanthemums at all times. I prefer to use 2 1/^ -inch pots for the young stock. These can be placed close together and will stand for watering, spraying and syringing. In planting I set nearly all varieties 8x10 inches or 9x9 inches, growing one flower to the plant and counting on getting first-class blooms. For an ordinarily good grade of commercial blooms I plant 8x10 and 8x12 inches, according to the variety, and grow two blooms to each plant. Some of the small-leaved varieties may be planted 8x8 and two stems carried up. Now, without delay, figure out ex- actly what you will do in planting your houses of chrysanthemums and see that you have the stock. If not on hand pro- cure it, either by propagation or pur- chase. The growers of young stock of chrysanthemums for the wholesale trade report a large demand for the best varie ties and it may not be possible to pj/ cure what you want a few weeks late/ Joseph P. Brooks. " FOLIAGE TURNING RED. You will find enclosed with this ictter a few geranium leaves and, as you will notice, they much resemble autumn 1- uvea from the forest trees.

The trouble is not at all uncommon, but is not serious and can be correctei! by feeding the plants. We would re- om- mend watering with a weak solution of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia in the water at intervals 6f five to six days until the foliage assumes a healtiiier hue. Give light doses, or you may do harm. Do not crowd your plants, but give them space in which to grow. "Wuter carefully and we think you will soon get rid of red foliage. C. \V. Albany, N.

The illustration opposite is from a photograph of a dinner table decora- tion given by James B. Regan, pro- prietor of the Hotel Knickerbocker, New York, previous to his sailing for Europe. Attached to the ceiling of the room was a huge umbrella frame nine feet across. The ribs were all covered with smilax, 275 strings being used for same. Under- neath the umbrella were used over 5,000 Narcissus Golden Spur. The outside edge of the umbrella was trimmed with long strips of Asparagus plumosus, and the supporting ribs covered with Rich- mond roses, 400 being used, and about fifty incandescent lights, the same color as the narcissi. In the center of the table was a miniature lake, about twelve feet long and four wide, banked on each side with thick clumps of moss and hun- dreds of fronds of Adiantum Farley- ense. In this lake were several dozen fancy, fan-tail gold-fish and swans, one of the latter being plainly seen in the photograph. At this dinner the cele- brated gold service of the Knickerbocker was used, and this feature of the din- ner was the admiration of all who saw it. The entire decoration was designed and carried out under the management of David D. Howells, manager of the floral department in the hotel. The illustration does not do credit to the decoration, for the reason that Ihe photograph was a poor one. The pho- tographer evidently was more or less of an amateur, for, while he got a little something of what was on the table, n" he succeeded in getting of the "\xva- brella," which was the principal feature of the decoration, was the lights.

I have just planted peach trees, whicii came in balls in 8-inch pots several months after being ordered. O.K. You should not attempt to do any forcing this year. Let the plants come away of their own accord, but after they have started see that the tempera- ture does not fall below 40 degrees. Vour efforts for this season should be directed towards the procuring of a clean, healthy growth and the shaping of your trees. They should be well pruned back before they begin to move and trained into whatever shape you desire to have them, according as they grow. When the growths have attained a length of about one inch, you will have to select the shoots that are best suited and most conveniently placed for train- ing in the direction you desire for the shaping of your trees, and rub out the buds which you cannot use. Do not make the mistake of leaving too many. Always keep in mind that the shoots you 'ay in this season will later on be the main branches of your trees. Give plenty of air night and day, when weather will permit, to keep your foliage strong and your growths firm. Give plenty of water Hnd syringe your trees thoroughly, at least twice a week, to prevent the at- l^acks of red spider and other insects. Peach trees are not as a rule hard to keep clean, as insects are not apt to trouble them if the trees are kept in good health, but careless treatment will bring insect pests on even the hardiest of plants. Next year you can begin forcing any time after January 1, according to the time you wish to have the fruit ready. Beginning about January 1 the fruit would be ready on the earliest varieties about the middle of May; starting about March 1 would give ripe fruit about June 20. The trees should be pruned at least a month before starting and the old wood should get a good washing with a solution^ of whale-oil soap, or some such insecticide, to dislodge any insects that may be hidden away in the crevices of the bark, and the trees tied into shape. The shoots should never be tied across one another and should be brought out as straight from the main branches as possible. A space of four inches should be left between the shoots, which will give room for the full devel- opment of the foliage without crowding. After starting, the trees should be syringed lightly every morning and the floor of the house damped down, so as to keep sufficient moisture in the atmos- phere to assist the bursting of the buds. The temperature should not exceed 40 degrees at night for the first two weeks; then a rise of 5 degrees may be allowed, but it should in no case be allowed to exceed 45 degrees until after flowering is over and the fruit set. A high tem- perature is certain to result in the drop- ping of the buds before setting takes place, resulting in no crop. This is the point where the greatest number of fail- ures occur in the growing of peaches under glass. At first the day tempera- ture should not exceed jIS degrees, with air on, but after the first two weeks it may be allowed to rise to 60 degrees. After the fruit is set and swelling the temperature should be gradually raised to 60 degrees at night and 75 degrees on bright days. Disbudding requires attention as growth advances and no novice should be set at the job; it requires a man who knows what to take off and what to leave. Two things must be borne in niintil.^> . 1816 ThcWeekly Florists' Review. May 2, 1007. -^ stoning they can safely be thinned to the proper distance. An old rule was to allow one j^each for every square foot of tree. But .a good, healthy tree will carry rather more than this, though it should not exceed it very much if first- class fruit is desired. The trees can be syringed up to the time the fruit begins to color, but should be discontinued from that time till after the fruit is picked, when an occasional good syringing will be beneficial. The results of next year's crop depend largely on the thorough ripening of the wood; so careful attention should be given to this matter towards fall, by keeping on the dry side and giving all the air possible. The ventilators should be closed only in the event of a sudden cold spell, lowering the temperature gradually to below the freezing point. The house may be shut down on very cold nights through the winter, but air should be admitted, if at all possible, through the day. It does not matter how much frost they get; it won't do the trees any harm, only freezing and thawing should be avoided as much as possible. So, by raising the ventilators before the thermometer rises to the freez- ing point, a more even temperature can be maintained. W. S. Croydon. SEASONABLE TREATMENT. The plants in tho bench having now at- tained their maximum size, and the soil in the bench having become deficient in some of the elements necessary for the support and ]»roi)er muggy air, by fostering a soft, spoil growth, has a tendency to cause bn heads in some varieties.

With many carnation growers, the burning question the last few years has l)een "Is Lawson running out?" I do not think it is. In my opinion, the only change is for the better. Lawson of course has some bad faults: First, its inclination to throw short stems, at least in the early part of the season ;, second, it has- a tendency to come off color, and, third, it bursts the calyx. All of these faults can be greatly modified, if not entirely eliminated, by proper cultural methods and careful and intelligent selection. Of late years it has been proven that the length of stem may be materially imi)roved by growing under glass all summer instead of plant- ing in the field for a part of the season, 'inis may be either by shifting them on gradually from 2-inch pots until they finally reach the 4-inch pots or by plant- ing on the permanent beds during the early jiart of June. This method is ad- mirably adapted to the requirements ol all the varieties of Lawson, in so far that it overcomes the short stem objec- tion. Lawson is prone to produce many blooms that are off shade. The plants })roducing these flowers should not b<' propagated from. The most careful man, with the highest degree of intel- ligence, is none too good to take the carnation cuttings. The propagator must avoid taking cuttings from any plant that is deficient in length of stem, habit of growth, in vigor of constitu- tion, or in color, or form of flower. H 'T'" ■ V " MAV 2. 190T.

Carna- tions also continue good and bring about the same prices as a week ago. Violets are practically over, although a few dou- liles are still to be seen. Sweet peas make 50 cents to 75 cents per hundred and are still very good. Liliums and cal- las are abundant and a little lower in lirice.

The weather continues to be of the March lion variety and business, all things considered, is ex- cellent. The unseasonable and exceed- ingly disagreeable weather has resulted in a large increase in the death rate, not only in Chicago but in many other cities that look to Chicago for supplies, and the demand for funeral work is note- worthily heavy. "While social activity makes a call for select stock in the rose department, it is the snorts which sell out first and bring relatively the best prices. Buyers will readily give 2 cents to 3 cents for large quantities of short roses, when 8 cents is paid with reluc- tance for really splendid stock, which is quite abundant. Short red roses, of course, do not share in the prosperity of the shorts in other colors, although short Beauties sell well. The supply of roses is large in all the houses. The carnation crop is off. Eeceipts in the last week have been less than in the week before and the carnation market has been stiff throughout. It is pointed out that a year ago at this date carna- tions were being moved in thousand lots at from $7.50 to $10, while in the last week they have been $2 to $4 per hundred. Opinions vary as to the result to the growers. Some wholesalers say they are not receiving as much money as a year ftgo, while others aver they are sending their growers larger checks than last year. Some fancy stock brings $5 and the market is well cleaned up every day. Growers say there is no immediate pros- pect ctf increase in the crop. The most active item at present is sweet peas. Everyone wants them and as they are quite abundant, a large busi- ness is done. A few violets still are re- ceived, but they sell slowly. A little out- door bulbous stock is arriving from the south, but much of it shows frost marks. Poet's narcissus is coming from Carbon- dale. Indoor bulbous stock is nearly over, only a few white tulips and jon- quils now arriving. Valley is in good demand. There is a large supply of callas, but they are moving quite well because of the demand for funeral work. Easter lilies are more abundant than a week ago. There is a considerable quantity of such things as pausies, snapdragon, stocks, swainsona, etc. Green goods are abundant, short sprays of southern piu- mosus selling even better than adiantum. Second Crop Lilies. As is well known, Albert Amling, at Maywood, grows a number of roses espe- cially for summer cutting. A year ago he planted a lot of bulbs of Easter lilies between the roses on solid beds and after cutting the lilies, left the bulbs undis- turbed. The roses were given a rest and the lilies enjoyed the same respite. When the roses were started up in the fall, the lilies soon showed signs of activity and now there is a splendid crop of thou- sands in sight for early cutting. Nearly every bulb is stronger than it was last year, five or six buds being the average. Speculation. Frederick Sperry, of Vaughau & Sperry, says that speculation is a neces- sary feature of a brisk market for cut flowers. He says that at present the re- tailers will not speculate on violets j they will pay a good price for violets when they need them, but they will not touch them at any price unless they have or- ders to be fined. The result is a poor market for violets. On the other hand, sweet peas are good property and tho retailers are quite willing to take a chance; they buy large quantities with- out having orders, knowing that there is good transient call for them every pleasant day. This willingness to specu- late makes a brisk market for sweet peas. Base Ball. The employees of Poehlmann Bros. Co. at Morton Grove have organized a base ball team and opened the season April 28 with a game with the Ferns, winning by a score of 11 to 9. The battery for the Poehlmann team was Brigetto and Sehultze. The team plans to play lead- ing amateur teams every Sunday. The growers north of town are many of them interested in the national game. It is stated that N. J. Wietor, of Wietor Bros., is one of the owners of the suc- cessful Rogers Park semi-professional team. Various Notes.

In his show window Ajjril 27 were arbutus, sweet peas, pussy willows, stocks, forget-me-nots, swain- sona, poppies, mignonette, pansies, tu- lips, daffodils nnd the all-the-year-around flowers. All these and other items may be had in the market, but not in great quantity. Theo. Fabricius, who owns a mush- room plant containing 50,000 square feet of beds, in Bowmanville, at Lincoln and Bryn Mawr avenues, plans to give his attention exclusively to the mushroom spawn business. Henry Hansen, who was formerly as- sociated with liis father, Hubert Hansen, in the management of the greenhouses at 4016 North Clark street, has aban- doned ihat business and is learning the carpenters' trade. The father, believ- ing himself too advanced in years to assume the entire responsibility of con- tinuing the business, has offered the greenhouses for sale. Ganger & Gormley are moving from 27 State street to 29* State, the next door south, where they will have a store that is about twenty feet deeper than the old one. Business is good with them and they need the additional space. Joseph P. Brooks, at Morton Grove, is I planting carnations in the field, but most of the growers are holding off, as the temperature was as low as 36 degrees April 29. The George Wittbold Co. is sinking a well and has bought an electric motor to ]»ump thg water that it is expected to find at no great depth. About $50 per month is now jiaid to the city for water, and a good ))art of this is expected to be saved when the well is working. (Jeorge Weinberg's second car of or- chid plants was shipped from Ruther- ford, K. J., April 29, and^vill be here the latter part of this week. C. W. McKellar says the annual crop of Cattleya Skinneri is on, but Mossise at twice the price sells better. The notice of the demise of Mrs. Doro- thy Bornhoeft appears in the obituary column of this week's issue. The E. F. Winterson Co. has disposed of the carload of boxwood received just before Easter and this week has a second carload in. The stock being of better quality than the first lot, it will doubt- less go even faster. Kennicott Bros. Co. received its first peonies April 27. Old Eed now is in small daily supply, with a prospect of early increase with a little warm weather in Missouri. These first Old Bed show frost marks, but that signifies little as to the rest of the crop. Sol Garland, of Des Plaines, was down town April 25 and closed up the deal for the new automobile. It is to be de- livered by May 15. The trade will regret to hear that Ed- gar Sanders has been under the doctor's care for the last week. It is stated that Scheiden & Schoos are contemplating planting one of their sec- tions with roses for next season. This year the entire plant has been devoted to carnations. C. L, Washburn, of Bassett & Wash burn, says that Monday's business has been steadily increasing until now Mon- day is decidedly the busiest day in the week, although it has been brisk every day in the last fortnight. N. C. Moore & Co. will change their steam heating plant to a vacuum system before time to fire for next season. Otto Goerisch, of the A. L. Eandall force, has been keeping bachelor's hall for three weeks. Mrs. Goerisch is ex- pected home from Burlington, la., Fri- day. John Evert, who now has eight houses in vegetables, is preparing to plant them all with chrysanthemums for an autumn cut. Last year he had only half his space in mums, but he did so well that he thinks he will double up this year. He has done excellently with lettuce, havinjj fine stock and getting good prices all winter. He now has a crop of cucum- bers approaching maturity. Steve Minor, who has been with the Kennicott Bros. Co. for several years, now has a job at the city hall. His place with Kennicott 's has been taken by B. G. Lambros, who formerly was in the re tail business here and at Milwaukee. J. Becker, who bought the Winandy establishment of A. Dietsch, has thrown out all the carnations and says that next season he will plant the entire place with lettuce.

There is not much to say regarding the market aud store trade of the last week. The store men report a fairly good trade in all lines, but the customary large wed- ding (lecorations which follow Easter are missing this year. There are plenty of su.allor affairs. Funeral work has been quite jtlentiful of late and that helps out greatly. The weather also has had a bad effect on the trade. We have had few pleasant days since Easter, but the moiitii of ^lay should bring warmer and clearer weather. The greenhouse men have been waiting for this kind of weath- er for planting out, as they have plenty of orders ahead. At the wholesale houses we find plenty of good roses in all varieties.

Mr. Kunz was for- merly with the old Jordan Floral Co. and later in business for himself, and had friends by the score. The Foster Floral Co. moved May 1 to its new location at Ninth and Olive streets. Will Adels, formerly with Mrs. Ayers, made his appearance in the wholesale liouses April 29. He has been laid up with sickness since the first of the year; this explains his long absence. The Riegscn Floral Co.. on South Broadway, had a number of small hotel decorations last week; also a number of large funeral designs. Their window- displays arc always attractive. The trustees of the Florists' Club, Messrs. Smith, Beyer and Weber, held a meeting last week to look over a num- ber of propositions for a fit celebration for the club's twentieth anniversary, which is to take place June 28. It has been decided that it will be a stag af- fair. A full report will be made at the club meeting. Henry Braun. late foreman for A. Brix, is taking things easy, visiting the diflferent growers in Clayton and Kirk- wood. He reports that on a visit to •Tohn Stcidle he found his place in fine shape, with finf^ crojis of carnations and roses. "Billy" Smith had a street car acci- dent last week, which resulted in his re- maining indoors a few days. He is now out and about on crutches, attending to business. \vm. Schray & Sons have a large stock of bedding plants and plenty of orders for planting out. Emil Schray says the weather has kept them back considerably with their work. Others, though, have the same complaint. The florists near the large cemeteries liave been kept busy of late preparing for planting. Fred Meinhardt and the Koeuig Floral Co. have the bulk of the work in that district. Charlie Schoenle, of the Schoenle Floral Co., who has a fine tenor voice, is writing a new song he will sing at the club's celebration next month. The name of the song is "How I Came to Attend the Last Club Meeting, " and " Why I '11 Never Miss Another."

One of the largest growers, if >'t the very largest, is Herr F, Sinai, f Frankfort-on-the-Main, who has 150 lorgen of land, three-fourths of which is under lilac. In 1891 he had twenty morgen of land devoted to this crop. His chief lilac for forcing (he sells but few plants) consists of seedlings, select- ing these by reason of such peculiarities of growth as promise by further culti- vation to show valuable features; a method that has resulted in a number of seedlings being raised widely supe- rior to well-esteemed varieties. Besides the seedlings which he raises annually, there are the best of the trade varieties, as Charles X., Marie Legraye, Andenken an L. Spath, Michel, Buchner, Mme. Le- moine, etc., which are grown for forc- ing purposes, and a number of the Marly lilacs, which in less than four years in the nursery set a good number of flower-buds. These lilacs are grown from suckers, not budded or grafted, and they flower well in balls, and thus save the expensive potting Avork. Herr Sinai forces 108,000 lilac plants in all, but the demand is not great before Christ- mas. The plants for that season are placed in the forcing houses on Novem- ber 27, and these consist entirely of un- prepared plants. — Gardeners ' Chronicle. Faibbury, III. — Alex Milne is prepar- ing to erect two new greenhouses and will commence at once, so they may be com- pleted by August. One of the buildings will be 30x58 and the other 28x68.

The voluiiu; of business is a trifle smaller tliaii a week ago; that is, legiti- mate business. There are probably as many, or more, flowers coming into the market, and most of them find an outlet, but some at such poor prices that they do not go far toward selling the total. Tlie feature of the market from Thurs- day until Saturday of last week was the continued scarcity of carnations, the prices realized for the best being at times even higher than listed quotations. The first half of this week, however, has shown a decided change in the situation, the receipts of the divine flower being in excess of the demand, with prices easier. Roses continue fairly plentiful and, thanks to the cool weather, are of good quality. Some double violets still can be had, with indications that the close of this week will see the last of the season 's crop. White violets are over. The increase in the receipts of cattleyas is marked, assuring an abundance of choice flowers for the next month. They are a most welcome addition. Valley is in fair demand. Sweet peas are plenti- ful, with the rank and file improving in quality. The best are very fine. Pur- ple is a welcome addition to the list; lavender and pale pink are becoming more numerous. A novelty reported by the Leo Miessen Co. is Miniature gladioli. Wild smilax is over. A Question of G)unt. It too frequently happens that there is a diff"erence of opinon between the purchaser and the shipper regarding the number of each article contained in a particular shipment. An interesting example of this is reported by M. Rice & Co., who received a complaint regard- ing a shortage in one of their shipments recently. The firm wrote to the pur- chaser, stating that the shipment had been checked by three different persons, each acting independently of the others, and requesting that the count be again made.

Last Monday nine of the leading private gardeners from the suburbs of this city were invited, by W^illiam P. Craig, to visit Forty-ninth and Market streets to examine the new fern, Nephrolepis Amerpohlii. Mr. Craig of- fered each grower one large plant in a 7-inch azalea pot and two plants in 4-inch pots to be grown under the fol- lowing conditions: The three plants to be grown for three months, and shifted at the option of the grower, into any size pot or pan desired.

In the Review of April 18 I again see the formula for the use of hydrocyanic acid gas produced by the use of water, sulphuric acid and cyanide of potassium. This we have repeatedly had set out by the Review, but when I come to the drug store to buy the cyanide the drug- gist invariably asks me: What strength do you want?" And there I am; I don't know, because your direc- tions fail to tell us. Now would it not be a good idea for the Review to as- certain what really the proper strength of this stuff should be for this use, and where to send for the same in order to buy it the cheapest? I would like to use it, and I am sure that lots of other florists would do the same, but they are afraid of either overdoing it or not mak- ing a success out of it by possibly not getting the gas strong enough. Thanking you in advance for the in- formation, I wish to enter a word of high commendation for the Florists' Review, for whom no horn can blow too loud. IT, E. Z, The Review has many times stated that the formula for the use of hydro- cyanic acid gas is based on the cyanide being what is known in the chemicals trade as ' ' ninety-eight per cent pure. ' ' It is not an expensive article and it has been advised that the cyanide be bought of the local druggist and that he be asked to wrap it in packages of two and one-half ounces each in two thicknesses of brown paper; that is one package to each jar of water and sulphuric acid. 1830 The Weekly Florists^ Review* May 2, 1907.

Simpkins is superintendent, is a unique collection of standard zonal geraniums, heliotropes and fuchsias. They make a grand show- ing during the season and as decorative plants cannot be surpassed. A specialty is also made of varieties of the Martha Washington or show type. These are of splendid colors and size. Some hand- some specimens of Cattleya Trianse are in full bloom, J. M. Ward & Co., of Peabody, report the largest Eaater business on record. They make a specialty of flowering plants, which are increasing in popular- ity. At E. T. Gerry's, in Newport, R. I., under the care of Arthur Griffin, super- intendent, can be seen a fine showing of the rare and beautiful Gloriosa, which as a decorative plant cannot be equaled, either for graceful habit or richness of color. Something seldom seen on this side of the pond is a border of Laran- dula Spica. I met Richard Gardner, who pointed this out to me here. 'Twas like meeting an old friend. At the E. J. Berwind place, Newport, Bruce Butterton is completing what will be the show place of Newport, in addi- tion to possessing an almost complete col- lection of coniferae. In Warwick, R. I., rapid strides are being made by the Pierson U-Bar folks in the building of a fine range for Senator Aldrich. Supt. Greene says they cannot be built too soon to suit him. We shall see great crops of orchard house fruit grown here. Manager Burke, of the Warwick Greenhouses, who does most of the planting on the island, says he does not remember so late a season for planting. It has helped the nurseryman to catch up with his orders, but the gardener will be late with early vegetables. As a proof of the hardiness of Azalea amoena, E. W. Clark, of New London, Conn., pointed out a large speci- men that has stood several years in a sheltered corner, while hardy rhododen drons near-by were partially killed. Friends of Rennie & Thomson, ot" Providence, R. I., will regret to learn that this young firm has been forced to liquidate. The chief reason was un favorable location.

Rennie & Thomson, Providence, R. L, have retired from business. J. H. White, a well known English seedsman, died April 12, aged 59 years. There are more encouraging reports as to the prospects for sweet pea crops in the Santa Clara valley. The Civic Improvement League, of Denison, Tex., has recently completed a free seed distribution to the children of the public schools. C. G. Van Tubergen, Jr., Haarlem, Holland, will shortly distribute stock of a new freesia, a cross between refracta alba and Armstrong!. The color is pink. The Alaska pea is planted almost ex- clusively in the south. It is stated this year's acreage is below normal on ac- count of scarcity and increased cost of seed. The Ebbert Seed Co., Rocky Ford, Colo., is not a corporation, but is con- ducted by H. Van Buakirk and R. S. Beall. They have been in business about three years. Chicago: — The onion set growers here are having a hard time in getting their seed planted. The weather is cold, and on the low clay ground the soil does not dry out suflSciently between rains to per- mit working it up for seeding. There is yet ten days, however, before it will be too late for safe planting and the grow- ers hope that favorable conditions will give them a chance to utilize these days to good advantage.

Murillo tulips are freely selling in England at 60 shillings, Yellow Prince at 26 shillings, La Eeine at 24 shillings and so on, and these figures are likely to be considerably advanced in the near future. A much larger demand and the booking of some heavy orders are re- ported by travelers returning from America. In conversation with a traveler recently returned from Scandinavia I was informed that the sales in that re- gion constitute almost a record and at high prices. And on a recent prospect- ing journey into the new cultivations re- cently opened in the north of Haarlem, I found that an immense demand from this new district will be experienced this year. Many acres that have never pre- viously grown anything but vegetables are proposed to be planted principally with tulips.

It is a generally accepted fact that the larger bulb growing firms are fairly wealthy and not in need of ready money, and therefore many of them, rather than sell their own stock down, would buy in and greatly increase their stock. It is the usual custom in all trades to hold stock when prices are high and values con- tinually going still higher.

All these circumstances combined have brought the values up to their present level, and it is probable that, before the end of this year's shipment is in sight, there will bo some almost record prices, especially for forcing tulips. The future of the general bulb trade for at least the next four years is probably the brightest it has been for a long time. At the end of that period it is possible prices will come down with a run, unless new mar- kets or an exceptionally increased uni- versal demand shall be sufficient to take the immensely increased stocks which must be on the export market about that time.

Turnips look like producing an average plant, •while garden beets and swiss chards have distinguished themselves by coming through ■well. Quite two-thirds of our pansy plants, an important item, have perished, while hollyhocks, Bellis perennis, digitalis, etc., have disappeared completely. Myo- sotis and Campanula Medium have come through all right, and single wall- flowers looked strong up to the end of February, but the east wind has since caused half the plants to collapse. Per- ennials also have suffered. Quedlinburs District. Winter lasted considerably longer than usual, and rendered the sowing and planting of the early articles very late. No work of this kind could be done be- fore March 25, when the weather turned dry and warm. Numerous biennials and perennials that in consequence of the mild autumn were far advanced and looked well up to January 20, were for the most part destroyed by the severe frost the latter part of January, when there was no snow to cover the ground. Spinach and larkspurs were completely killed by frost. Cabbages, kohlrabi, turnips, swedes, leek, parsley, daisies, forget-me-not, pansies, hollyhocks, etc., suffered considerably. This season's trade, on the whole, may be considered as satisfactory. WhUe prices in general ruled low, an increase of the quantity of the seed sold has been noted in comparison with previous sea- son, and there will be little surplus. Round-seeded peas did not suffice for the demand, and wrinkled varieties, with r Summer-Blooming Bv^bs.

Kadishes met Avith an unusually brisk demand. The largest demand was for the White- tipped Rose Turnip, French Breakfast, Ne Plus Ultra, Scarlet Turnip, Long Scarlet, Long Rose, and Long White Icicle, of which the supply, though im- portant, did not nearly cover the de- mand. Cucumbers, endives, lettuce, par- snip, spinach and some herbs were sold out before the end of the season. Tur- nips went slowly the first of the season, but the demand increased toward the end. Farm seeds are well cleaned up. The demand has increased notably for the finer sorts of flower seeds, and many sorts, chiefly the finer asters, did not nearly equal the demand. It has been noted that the Triumph of the Giant pansy, raised and introduced some years ago by Henry Mette, has taken the lead of all pansies hitherto known as among the finest in the world.

The 32(1 annual convention will be held at De- troit, Mich., June, 1907. Nurserymen will find much of inter- est in the weekly department headed "The Pacific Coast." Nelson Bogue, of Batavia, N. Y., reports a large season's business, with an especial demand for apple trees, well grown and of the finer varieties. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has issued a bulletin, No. 101 of the bu- reau of chemistry, entitled "The Lime Sulphur Salt Wash and Its Substitutes," which will be of interest to those en- gaged in combating scale. The Lakeside Floral Co., Houghton, Mich., will plant a considerable quan- tity of nursery stock at the neighboring town of Chassell. Both fruits and or- namentals will be grown, but only the hardiest stock is adapted to the locality, where the planting season does not open until May. Baker Bros. & Co., dealers in nur- sery stock and horticultural supplies at Fort Worth, Tex., have incorporated and filed papers with the secretary of state for $40,000 capital stock. The company has an office at 505 Houston street and three divisions of its nursery stock east of the city, at Eiverside. J. B. Phia and William J. Baker are the incorpo- rators. G. Champion, of Toronto, has been appointed park superintendent at Winni- peg, Manitoba. Mr. Champion is an Englishman, was born in 1870, and has had a lifelong experience in the profes- sion in England and Canada. He was apprenticed at Frampton Court, Dorset, England, under T. Pullman, who is now superintendent of Richmond Great Park, Surrey, England. A GOOD SEASON. The season for the shipment of nur- sery stock, except some few specialties, now is drawing rapidly to a close. With the southern, and especially the south- western, nurserymen the season was ear- lier and shorter than usual. But with the northern nurserymen it has been longer than the average and especially favorable for handling a large volume of business. The heat wave of April caused alarm for fear that it would start growth prematurely, but the change to 25,000 MOSS PINKS (PHLOX SUBULATA) In three separate colors, pink, pure white and white with pink eye; well rooted, strong plants; $1.60 per 100; $10.00 per 1000.

They nearly all had a record season, and in a retail way the trade has been equally good. There has been another marked increase in the busi- ness done in ornamental stock, especially shrubs. Prices have averaged a little aigher than last year. Buyers have been iaore ready to pay the prices required 0 insure good stock. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. English Ivy. There are few things more easily dis- )osed of than English ivy, and usually he price obtained makes its cultivation '8 profitable as most things grown. Eng- ish ivy is seldom, if ever, in oversup- »ly and perhaps the reason why so many >lants are used is that private garden- n are just finding out to what innum- erable uses it can advantageously be put. Some ye.'irs ago this ivy was used principally in the attempt to cover build- ings and for cemetery work. Now there are hundreds of thousands planted every spring in border work and beds. Ivy will root much quicker in the month of August than later. A good method is to put all the cuttings ob- tainable in frames to root during the month stated. Root quickly as they will then, they may be potted at leisure. It will be found that cuttings put in in September and October will not only take much longer to root but will fail to make as good stock eventually. When cuttings are put in frames at the time suggested shade will have to be provided in the way of something movable, for when the cuttings are soft they are eas- ily damaged. Fcucgloves. Foxglove is one of the many good things that will not flower the first year from seed. Seed sown in spring will give good, strong plants for flowering the following year. The seedlings, when large enough to handle, should be trans- planted with room enough for them to grow into good, strong plants. A cover- ing of leaves or strawy manure will pro- tect tnem during the winter. Foxgloves make a gorgeous appearance when in bloom. They are especially effective when planted in masses, but are none the. less valuable for planting in the hardy borders and in shrubberies. Hollyhocks. When possible, hollyhocks should be grown in pots from the time they are first moved out of the seed flats. They are more easily handled when shipping, and they give better satisfaction to cus- tomers than plants lifted out of the open ground or out of flats. Hollyhocks show- ing signs of rust on the leaves should not be sold or planted. If they are planted, they will never amount to anything. Hollyhock seed should be sown as soon ■ \gw y»"i ■v.Mjpi i«/i"iP«* mi^ifiifytf^^fiffr 1848 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Max 2, 1807.

IVY in the autumn as the seed of that season is ripe, and grown on without a percep- tible check. If the plants are grown right along moderately cool there is lit- tle danger of rust attacking them. Storage. There is not the least doubt of the practical value and advantages of a cold storage house in connection with a nurs- ery, and such a house in the spring and early summer would be found especially serviceable to nurserymen who every year are in the way of receiving orders for fruit trees, shrubs and other decidu- ous trees when it would be too late to ship if the stock had to be dug then, out of the open ground. The utility of a cold storage house, as many are well aware, is by no means confined to the spring sales. Such a house is invaluable for the accommodation of bay trees, hydrangeas and a hundred other things in winter that keep well in such quar- ters, i^' ^' DEUTZIAS. For showy blossoms in early summer, few shrubs excel the deutzias. The flower clusters, which are usually white, are displayed so prominently and with such profuse prodigality, springing from the young wood of the previous year's growth, that they are especially desirable for the embellishment of home grounds. The flowers do not last long when cut, but their showy effect, with their grace- fully arching sprays, is well worth en- joying. Most of the species respond readily to cultivation in any fairly good soil, when it is well drained. Many of the best kinds are hardy even in the New England states. Deutzias should be pruned any time after the leaves have fallen, in the late autumn or during the winter. The young wood of the previous year's growth must not be cut back, but the old flowering sprays should be removed and weak, spindling wood and decrepit branches cut out. The plants appear to be remarkably free from the attacks of insect pests. The National Council of Horticulture says it is unfortunate that shrubs de- serving popularity as much as do the deutzias have no simple English name. Deutzia gracilis, a native of Japan, is a low, neat growing shrub seldom over two feet and a half high, with branches PLANT CONIFERS NOW!

We have had warm days and cold days, as well as rainy days. Under such conditions stock is not coming in as heav- ily as it should. Carnations last week cleane.d up fairly well. There was little trouble in dispos- ing of roses, while violets are getting scarce. Bulbous stock still hangs on. American Beauties are well up in supply and sold at a fair price. However, there is little demand for them, except among the street boys, who are offering all kinds of cut flowers at greatly reduced prices. Greens of all kinds are scarce. Various Notes. G. A. Lotze, Glen Burnie, Md., is cut- ting some fine carnations and finds ready sale for them. N. C.

The spring work is now in full swing in every department of horticulture and agriculture. The nurserymen are busy delivering trees and the various other kinds of stock planted at this time of the year. V. A. Vanicek, of the Rhode Island Nurseries, reports heavier demands for April than usual in many lines of stock, especially medium sizes of ever- greens and hydrangeas. Oscar Schultz is building two houses, one 20x100 for bedding plants, and an- other 30x150 for palms. Mr. Schultz is doing a good business in nursery stock, in addition to his usual trade in general bedding stock. There is already a noticeable change in the appearance of things at the Newport Nursery, since F, M. Smythe secured con- trol of that property. Waldemar Barth has been retained in the employment of the new owners. Mr. Barth is one of the most versatile of Newport horticul- turists and should be invaluable to Wad- ley & Smythe, considering their varied interests. James Murray, who is still in the hos- pital, but is mending, has resigned his position as gardener for Henry Clews, in whose employ he was for nearly twenty years. Many Newport gardeners are com- plaining of the small percentage of ger- mination of salvia seed this spring. Bon- fire was especially disappointing in that respect. In Newport the Lombardy poplar is much used in planting because of the rapidity of its effect, and it thrives re- markably well where the salt spray does not reach it, but on one place situated near the ocean, where a great number were planted, they are all dead this spring. Joseph Leikens, who has a store in the Downing block, on Bellevue avenue, was here last week putting things in motion for resuming business for the summer. Eobert Hunnick is row superintendent of Rough Point for the new owner, W. B. Leeds. There were no greenhouses at Rough Point during its occupancy by P. W. Vanderbilt, but it is understood that Mr. Leeds has intimated his inten- tion of building a range of glass on ground adjacent to the estate on the cliffs. Among the most magnificent places on the Island will soon be Oakland Farm, the estate of Alfred G. Vanderbilt, in Portsmouth. Mr. Adam, the gardener, has made great changes and improve- ments lately.

The Market* There has been little change in market conditions the last two or three weeks. Stock is fairly plentiful, especially roses and carnations, the demand being good, although the storm of last week may have slackened it a trifle. Little salable stock is left on hand. The quality in some cases is a little bit off. Carnations, some of the growers seem to think, will be coming in more heavily by the end of the week, as it is good stock and is bringing 2 cents and 3 cents. Sweet peas are coming in more abun- dantly, first-class stock with good stems selling at 75 cents, wholesale. Violets have seen their best days, owing to the warm weather, and are small. A few more days will see their finish. Beauties are first-class and a good de- maud for them is noticeable. Growers are throwing out rose plants in both American Beauty and tea sections. Bride and Bridesmaid are particularly fine in quality, while Chatenay and Alice Roose- velt hold their own in fine shape. The funeral demand uses up nearly all of the short stock. Pansies are also in heavy demand and selling well, both blooms and plants. Lilac is something not to be had on this market and, owing to the last cold spell, it is feared there will be a lack of snowballs and other outdoor flowers for Decoration day, most of them being frost-bitten. There may be some from southern localities where they were not far enough advanced to be nipped when the cold spell came on. Various Notes. Ben Boldt is again in possession of the Mud Lake Greenhouses, Mr. Braidwood having turned them back. Mr. Boldt will run both the West Twenty-ninth street houses and the present ones. E. E. Petersen and his wife have gone to California for Mr. Petersen's health, which has been poor. His son, Ernest, will have charge of the business during his absence. The Denver Florists' Bowling League closed the season April 22, after a suc- cessful run. Some good bowlers com- peted and the prize money was well dis- tributed. The convention team, with N. A. Benson as captain, captured most of the prizes, he himself getting first money for high, game and second money for handicap prize. Chas. Benson won first prize and R. S. Mahan, of the Alpha Floral Co., third prize. Chas. Benson is now with the Mauff Greenhouses. E. S. K. BOXWOOD'-JSSEsT."?.™- Per 100. .S25.ro, $30.00 $35 00, $40 00 $45 00. $55 00.

Keuter is a strong advocate of good labor and pays according to its value. This reminds me of a story heard recently that would seem to outdo Jaggs at his best, but 'tis true, nevertheless. One of the stipulations called for in a recent engagement was that the employee should smoke during working hours, to aid in fumigation, and use tobacco that was wrapped in silvered paper, which paper could be saved for the purpose of filling wire designs. Mr. Eeuter says the returns from his advertisements in the Eeview are very gratifying and have almost cleaned him out of stock, which sounds well, seeing that he has 100,000 carnations in 2-inch pots left, ready to plant out. There are thousands in 3% -inch pots, fine stocky plants, ready to plant into benches. White Perfection is grown in large num- bers, but Queen Louise is considered the best commercial white today. Lawson, both pink and white, succeeds well in the old range, as free as ever. In roses, Killarney has produced the best returns this season. Kaiserin has been in crop from November and is now throwing heavy canes. Owing to Killarney and Wellesley being grown in the same house, it was not rested beyond keeping dry for about six weeks, which has benefited it. Chatenay is the only variety that is grown on own roots. Bride, Maid, Kil- larney and Wellesley are grafted, grown one year on benches, then planted in solid beds and run for two and three years, giving excellent returns. Mr. Renter's new house, 35x500 feet, will be planted, when finished, with the kinds mentioned. The purlin pipe is also used to carry the water supply; this plan is adopted in all the modern houses and works well. Large numbers of bed- ding stock are grown to supply the big demand at Watch Hill and near-by sum- mer resorts. The Whitmani fern is con- sidered one of the finest for cutting, but not a good pot plant, as it breaks out from the center. Ficus pandurata stands the sun and makes a handsome addition to Buptropical bedding. A western manure spreader is used upon the land and is considered a per- fect machine, soon saving its cost, in ad- dition to doing the work thoroughly. Outdoor planting of carnations began April 29. W. M. Sault Ste. Maeie, Mich.— The Pries- ter Garden Co. has been organized here, with E. F. Priester at its head. The company will conduct a general nursery business.

CINCINNATI. The Market. A week of the best weather we have had in a long time has not as yet made its effect known on the quantity of stock coming into this city, but there ought to be something doing in that line before long, especially if this kind of weather holds out. It is so much warmer, and we have had so much more sunshine, that it surely ought to bring more flowers. Business is still first-class and if it will but hold out for a few weeks longer, we will be more than satisfied. The way it has started off this week would indicate that the end is not in sight, for a while, at least. The general scarcity of all varieties of flowers still tends to keep the prices up, and in some instaBces they were boosted again last week. Roses con- tinue fairly equal to the demand, but when it conies to carnations it is another story. There are not enough of them to come anywhere near taking care of the demand. And what is worse, from the reports of many growers it would appear that there will not be many of them for some time to come. Green goods of all kinds are in demand and good ferns are scarce, as the cold storage supply is about uSed up. Smilax is also scarce, but there is a fair supply of Asparagus plumosus strings. Various Notes. Chas. Knopf, of Richmond, Ind., is sending some fine Richmond and Liberty to this market. The pick of them find a ready sale at $1.50 per dozen. W. K. Partridge is in with a fine cut of roses, and he is one of the few growers who have a good crop of carnations in sight, to be harvested soon. E. G. Gillett was in fepringfield, O., Monday. Martin Reukauf, of Bayersdorf er 's, Philadelphia, was a caller. C. J. Ohmer. Mansfield, O. — Peter Ott, who has his headquarters here, is the chief florist of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad lines west of the Ohio river. Saginaw, Mich. — The Wm. Roethke Floral Co. is setting an example by em- bellishing the grounds around its place at Michigan and Adams streets. The pub- lic seems to take much interest in the landscape work that is being done and the prospects are that as an advertise- ment it will be a winner. BARGAINS p,.:::r*" BBADT FOB XABZBT AT OVOB.

I have two houses, one 20x75 and the other 12x60, with 4-foot walls and 7-foot ridges. "Would I require as much pipe for steam as I would for hot water? The average temperature here (state of Washington) last winter was 12 degrees above zero, the coldest it has been for years. I cannot very well use a pit, for the water is too near the surface; so I would have to place the boiler on the surface. One house stands east and west, the other north and south, on the sides of a square. C. J. J. The only satisfactory method for heat- ing your houses will be by means of hot water. Secure a boiler of a low, hori- zontal type and set it just as low as possible. For the 20-foot house carry a 21/^ -inch flow pipe from the top of the boiler along under the ridge of the house to the farthest end; then drop below the benches or along the side walls and di- vide into eight 2-inch returns, four on each side. For the 12-foot house provide one 2-inch flow pipe and six 1^-inch re- turns.

The 4-inch llow pipe will supply tiie four- teen 2-inch returns, but no more. As the water will be considerably cooled by the time it returns to where the extra pipe.s branch off, they will add little to the warmth of this section :nid thi.s part of the house will be inclined to be cool- est. A better plan would be to insert a tee in the 4-inch flow pipe just before the partition is reached and connect di- rectlv to the extra return pipes below the benches.

The weather remains unusually cool, but has been much more pleasant than during the previous week. The heavy run of funeral work still keeps up, draining the market of all short stock, especially white. There is little doing in the way of wedding flowers, but inquiries as to prices are being made more frequently, and some of these inquiries will, we hope, soon materialize as orders for deco- rations. The few orchids available in this market seldom go to waste. Hoses are arriving in good quantity. The stock is fine and speedily picked up, excepting short reds. Prices range from 3 cents to 8 cents. Carnations are of fine quality and the large shipments arc usually sold in ad- vance. About the only plants going to waste are daffodils. Some good ferns, this season's pick, are arriving at the commission houses. Smilax is still at a premium. Where formerly a foot was thrown in it is counted up to the inch now. Various Notes. Much interest was manifested by the Detroit public in the lecture on "Home Garden Work and Civic Improvement," as delivered at Harmonic hall May 1 by E. R. Thomas, of Welfare League, Na- tional Cash Register Co., Dayton, O. Mr. Thomas deserves much- credit for the ex- cellent manner in Avhich he handled this subject. President Wm. Dilger, of the Detroit Florists' Club, under whose aus- pices the lecture was held, introduced Secretary J. F. Sullivan, who, after de- livering a short address as a preliminary to the lecture, in turn introduced Mr. Thomas. The daily papers were gener- ous in the space devoted to advertising the affair, publishing all the copy sup- plied by the press committee. A num- ber of posters were also distributed among the stores, for displaying in the windows, so there was a good attendance. Louis Charvat, of the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange, was laid up with a severe cold last week. William Dilger spent several days last week at the Cincinnati Zoo in connec- tion with his duties as park superintend- ent. Ferdinand Beyer, the hustling young head gardener at the Wayne County House, is contemplating the growing of violets as a side line. There is a rumor afloat that Ferdinand is soon to join the benedicts. Herbert Pierce, manager of the De- troit Cut Flower Supply House, is again back in harness after three weeks' ill- ness. The Memorial day business in Detroit is of such little account that there is little need of making any special prepa- rations in the cut flower line. The only florists who are busy are those located near the cemetery entrances. H. S. WATER! WATER!! THE FLORISTS CRY. We tell How to Obtain and Apply.

The Market Trade during the last week has been better than in the first part of April, but with the heavy quantities of stock coming in it is difficult to clean up. For- tunately for the others, a few of the growers are short on carnations, on ac- count of the great number of cuttings taken off. This helps to keep the supply lower than it otherwise would be, but still there is a great deal of stock that is looking hard for a purchaser.

The Weekly Florists' Review^ J887 >*^^^^ EXPRESS RATES ORDERED CUT ^Ur#S^Mf»'^#-^ Interstate Commission Upholds Florists. The Interstate Commerce Commission, :it Washington, May 4, rendered a de- ■ision in the matter of t^e protest of ilie Society of American Florists against tlie rates charged by the United States Express Co., for carrying cut flowers I'lom New Jersey and* Pennsylvania points to New York City. The commis- sion holds that the rate now in force is unreasonable and orders that it be materially reduced after June 15. The case is of special interest to growers for the New York market, as materially affecting their daily expendi- tures, but it is of importance to the whole trade in that it indicates the at- titude the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion will take on the claim that special remuneration is justified by the special service and extra expense involved in handling cut flower shipments — it will head off increases in rates in other sec- tions of the country and teach the ex- press companies that might no longer makes right, or if it does, the might now is in the hands of the people. In- cidentally, the decision will attract the attention of the whole country to the flower business, for this is the first ease under the new law in which a decision has been rendered as to the reasonable- ness of an express rate. The ease was brought in the name of the Society of American Florists, which claimed that the rate charged by the United States Express Co. on cut flowers from New Jersey and Pennsylvania points to New York City was unreasona- ble, excessive and unjust. This rate till May, 1906, was 50 cents per hundred pounds, and at that time was raised to $1 per hundred pounds. G>mpany^s G>ntention. The express company defended its in- crease of 100 per cent in its rate by claiming that the delivery service given cut flowers in New York is much more expensive than that given other articles, and that it could not increase its rate a sutficient amount to meet the expense of this special service without largely increasing the total rate, because of its contracts with the railroads under which it is required to pay a percentage of its gross receipts to the railroad companies for their service. It was set forth that the United States Express Co. has con- tracts with the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western Eailroad by which the rail- road receives forty-five per cent of the total gross receipts of the express com- pany; but the commission found that the service rendered by the railroad is no greater or different under the new rate of $1 than it was under the old rate of 50 cents; that the railroad now re- ceives forty-five per cent of the .$1 rate, namely, 45 cents per hundred pounds; that prior to May 1, 1906, the railroad received but one-half of said amount for the same service; that the percentage of gross revenue paid by the express com- pany to the Central' Railroad of New Jersey is forty-three per cent, and to the Lehigh Valley Eailroad forty per cent; that the United States Express Co. em- ploys agents at the points of origin concerned, who are, generally speaking, paid for their services in gathering, bill- ing, loading, unloading and delivering express matter with a percentage of the gross receipts at such offices, which per- centages range downward from twenty per cent. The Decision. Commissioner Lane, who prepared the decision, said: ' ' Elaborate tables have been presented by the defendant tending to prove that the former rate of 50 cents was unre- munerative, owing to the percentage which it paid to the railroad, added to the percentage which it paid to its agents and the cost of delivery in New York. From these same figures it can also be adduced that the present rate of $1 is unremunerative ; and it may well be said that from an analysis of the charges made upon any single commodity or class of commodities transported by this company a similar result could be arrived at. * ' In order to increase its business the express company gives an especially prompt service to flower raisers. There is no evidence that this is not done by all express companies, or that it does anything with respect to this traffic which transportation companies do no,t gener- ally do as to certain classes of perish- able freight. But, admitting that an ex- tra return should be made over and above that received for the carrying of articles generally transported by express, no reason has been shown why the rail- road charges and agents' pay should .be doubled, excepting that the express company has to pay double the amount under its contract to its agents and to the railroad company — a necessity or condition which we cannot recognize as controlling as to rates. ' ' The New Rates. The order of the commission requires the United States Express Co. to cease and desist from charging the $1 rate after June 15 and directs the express company on or before that date to put in a 60-cent rate from Chatham and Som- erville, N. J., to New York City, a 72- cent rate from Allentown, Pa., to New York City, and from Philadelphia, Hill- side and Dorranceton, Pa., a 90-cent rate. The order also directs the reduction on rates on empties from New York City to the points named to the merchandise rate of 50 cents per hundred pounds. History of the Case. It was October 9, 1906, that the sec- retary of the Society of American Flo- rists filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission the petition setting forth "That in the course of their business members of the S. A, F. located at vari- ous points in New Jersey and Pennsyl- vania make shipments of flowers from such points to the city of New York. ' That quick handling of these shipments is so essential, that the use of defend- ant's express line, even at higher rates than those of railroad companies, has been and is absolutely necessary. That on or about the first day of May, 1906, defendant arbitrarily knd unjustly in- creased its express charges on flowers from the points named to New York City. That the following table shows the places, the express charges prior to May 1, 1906, and the advanced express charges of defendant, in cents per 100 pounds : Charges prior to Charges since From. May 1, 1006. May 1, 1900. Somervllle, N. J 50c $1.00 Chatham, N. J 50c l.Oil Allentown, Pa 60c l.OO Philadelphia, Pa 75c 1.00 Hillside, Pa 75c l.ftO Dorranceton, Pa 75c 1.00 ' ' That said advance in charges by de- fendant was altogether unwarrantable and unjustified by the circumstances of the case, and the present charges are unjust and unreasonable of themselves and generally. That complainant's members at said points are willing to pay express charges largely in excess of what carriers by railroad would be likely to charge on such commodity between the same points, but it alleges that the above-named advanced rates are so un- just and so much in excess of what they should be that their exaction is nearly ruinous. ' ' That prior to May 1, 1906, the empty • boxes or cases which contained the flow- ers were either returned free or at a nominal charge by defendant, from New York City to said points, but that since said dat^ defendant unreasonably exacts the same charge per 100 pounds for the ^', return of the empties as it exacts for the flowers themselves. That this addi- tional burden placed by defendant on such shippers is unjustified and should be changed. "That these flower shipments aic, in a majority of cases, delivered by com- plainant at the railroad stations, and the defendant is not required to call for them at the greenhouses. That the mar- kets in New York City are bunched in a circumscribed area, so that in cases of delivery to places of business defendant is not required to cart shipments long distances. That the express-carriage of flowers does not call for any special service other than promptness of deliv- ery, and much of the cost which defend- ant has to assume in collecting and de- livering ordinary merchandise is elim- inated." The Society of American Florists ap- j>eared before the interstate commerce commission at W^ashington Friday and Saturday, March 15 and 16, at the time of the meeting of the Eose Society. Some twenty or twenty-five oflScers and members of the society were present and evidence was offered by Frank L. ^loore, Chatham, N. J.; L. ^f, Noe and Eobert Sciniltz, ^Madison, N. J.; Adolph Faren- wald, Eoslyn, Pa.; F. H. Traendly, New- York City, and ^\. J. Stewart, Boston. Two hours and a half were consumed in presenting the evidence. On the follow- ing day representatives of the express company presented their side of the case. The judgment of the commission now is rendered. There is no appeal. It will be noted, however, that the de^ cision was largely on a technical ground, concerning the railroads' contract, not touched on in the S. A. F. petition. VM* (^pf* 'jf^'-^'^jn ■* • v^»-n^f. '^"i^'www'* ' *'MMF' .v^WL< learned to confine their efforts to types and varieties susceptible to the greatest improvement under intense cultivation. It is true, also, that the quality of the produce from improved varieties has greatly increased the demand and en- gendered a wider taste. Proper organization is essential to the economical and successful operation of a modern horticultural establishment, raor.c especially that it does not and should not increase the detail of labor of the man- agement, but be divided among the various heads of departments, in whom confidence should be reposed. EAHLY PLANTING. The Advantages. Many of the best growers in the east bench their stock this month, and it is from this early planted stock that most of the finest exhibition flowers are cut. I long since proved to my own satisfac- tion that the longer season of growth produced a heavier flower, and the man who plants late in June or early in July need not expect, other conditions being equal, to win many prizes. Early planted stock has more time to ripen the wood, and this ripening is one of the essentials in producing large flowers. True, there is an extreme in ripening, also, and Ave do not attempt to ripen our wood so much as does the British cultivator, who, with his outdoor culture, finishes his plants with bark on the stem like a young tree. We, owing to the almost universal system of ex- ' hibiting flowers on long stems, must have those stems so they will absorb water to sustain the flower, and this a stem cannot do if hardened too much. There is a big ditference between ripening the wood in the fall and getting the young plants hide-bound at the present time. See that they are well supplied with water, particularly on those days when we get bright sunshine and a brisk and drying wind. Just now, for a week or two when everyone is busy, plants are apt to be neglected and when a plant gets dried out a few times it becomes hard and wiry in the stem. It is not an easy matter to get such a plant back into a healthy, vigorous condition after planting. Some varieties make a spindly growth naturally in early spring, Appleton being one of them, but they are merely the exception that proves the rule. Start with the good, fat cutting if possible, and keep it fat during its early growth ; or, in other words, keep your young stock in a soft, growing condition. I am an advocate of placing the young stock out in a coldframe for a few weeks be- fore planting, so that the plants will not get drawn up or spindly, as they so easily do when grown close together in a house, often with other and more ten- der subjects. Holding the plants in good shape till planting time is very im- portant, and if the house is ready and the soil in shape, do not delay the plant- ing longer than you can help. Soil and Head-room. We will assume, of course, that the soil was stacked and composted last fall and chops down in fine, mellow condi- tion. Such a soil, with the addition of a 6-inch pot of fine bone to a barrowful of soil, will grow mums in fine shape. Get it in dry and fill the bench level full, so that a little firming after plant- ing leaves the soil about half an inch below the top of the outside board, giv- ing plenty of room for water. The distance apart to plant should be not less than 9x9 inches for this early planting. The plants will make long stems and the bed will be completely shaded from the sun. If it is not a ques- tion of money, but only just how fine you can grow the stock, as it is in sonn private establishments, I would say plant 9x12 inches. With early planting, of course, one must figure on the head room, and unless you have six feet clear above the bench it is better to top th*' plants over and wait awhile. The dwari kinds, such as C'heltoni. Beatrice May. May Seddon, Xellie Pockett and Merzii. will not get o\-er four feet planted now. but many of the general run of varieties will, and it will not pay to plant early and then have to bend the stems all ways to get the flowers away from the glass \n the fall. Foresight is better than hindsight in figuring out such problems as these. If you cannot plant early i» the bench you can always have some i" TH, •V7IWJlWl,''-'*5TTt ; MAY 9, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ im iiots, and these can be set along the laths or anywhere at flowering time. Some splendid growers of my acquaint- ,iice grow their finest flowers exclusively n pots and boxes. My only objection () it is that it takes considerable time. \ man can look after many more plants II a bench than he could if those same iilants were in pots. Specimen Plants. As these plants are ready, move them I'rom 6-inch to 8-inch pots, never permit- : ing them to become pot-bound in the oast degree. Let the soil be good rotted •;od, chopped not too fine, with all the fiber retained, and a fourth part of well- rotted manure, with some bone added. If you are so unfortunate as not to have any fibrous sod, use coarse sand in the soil, so it will not pack into a solid mass. The mechanical condition of the soil must be right, because it is a long while to next November and it is an easy matter to get a plant waterlogged and unthrifty. Attend faithfully to the pinching of the main shoots, and as the plant begins to round out, put a stake here and there to tie the main branches, so that they will not get broken by the wind. Charles H. Totty. ^.^"^^^"^ ''.***■*■ ' YOUNG STOCK. It is rare to find a house in which there are no defects in the glass, and these defects are certain to cause blister- ing and burning of the tender leaves if not attended to. These defects should be located as early in the season as pos- sible, as burns caused by them have a very debilitating effect. Select a very bright day, when the burning spots can be easily detected, and touch them with either a solution of alum or boiled oil. It does not require a big splotch of paint, which is unsiglitly, to eliminate the siK)ts, which are usually minute and consequently hard to locate. This search- ing for the burning spots cannot be done in an hour, as tl • sun shadows are con- tinually shifting, but should be perse- vered in as long as the sun continues to shine on the glass or until the burning spots have all been subdued. Beauty foliage, even on the old plants, is liable to sufl'er. and a.s the most valua- ble leaves at this season are usually above or overhead, it is diflicult without a close examination to detect the dam- age. A close inspection shouM be made daily. Preparations for planting should now be made by getting the soil into proper condition and having all tools, etc., in good working order. The work of that busy season will be greatly expedited by having all supplies, such as nails, lum- ber and all other necessaries, in stock and in their proper places, so that no time may be lost in getting the benches repaired, filled and planted. An old friend, a prominent grower, has just called my attention to the fact that for the last two seasons 1 have neglected to say anything on the subject of fumigation as connected with rose culture under glass. This subject has been discussed by so many able growers that I: felt as if I had nothing new or interesting to set before my readers; lienre the omission. In a future issue I intend to give, to the best of my ability, my ideas and ex- perience along these lines. I am always thankful to any of our readers who call my attention to any omissions or to any subjects which they wish discussed. Ribes. MILDEW ON ROSES. In a recent issue I see the old rem- edy of blowing flowers of sulphur again recommended. It is a troublesome, not to say slovenly process, and now entirely unnecessary, thanks to Campbell's in- vention. The sulphur vaporizer throws a thin film of sulphur evenly over every- thing within range, and, provided the directions are strictly adhered to, it is done practically without risk. I have used the apparatus several vears with- out mishap and look upon it as a desid- eratum attaint. It is, in fact, what for years we longed for, and I notice from your advertisement columns that though it is a British invention, it is obtained at several addresses in the United States. It renders us quite in- dependent of hot pipes for diffusion. Farnham, Surrey, C. BEXNEfT. LATE PLANTING. I have under construction one green- house* 21x75 feet in which roses will be grown. It will be six weeks or two months before all my material for roof construction will be here and, of course, after it arrives several days more before house will be completed. Since that would make it about July 15 to August 1, it would be late to plant roses. Is it considered practical to set plants in benches before the roof is completed? What roses would be best suited to grow in the same house? J. X. H. Roses being so sensitive to overwater- ing and climatic conditions, it is not a safe practice to plant the benches be- fore having the houses glazed. It is much better to keep going along by repotting and, even though the planting may be late, you will get better results arid eliminate many of the risks. A beginner should plant those varie- ties which possess vigor and immunity from fungous diseases, among which are Golden Gate, Ivory, Chatenay and Rich- mond. These varieties are also good all- round j)roducers and do not require the same amount of scientific care as do Bride and ]\Iaid. It may be well to try these in small quantities in order to gain experience. Ribe.s. CARNATION NOTES.-WEST. Field Planting. By the time this appears in print, planting in the field will be in full swing, an little time. If your carnation field is in close proximity to the water supply you need not consider tins proposition so much, but if it lies some distance away and artificial water- ing is ini])ractical, then it i)ays to take advantage of every little ]>oint. Watering in the Field. I am not an advocate of artificial watering for the carnation field after the ])lants are in active growth ; in fact, I prefer to grow them rather on the |ply liainlv.

Mich 1960 Peony-Flowered Dahlias 1960 The Proceedings of the Sixteenth An- nual Meeting of the American Carna- tion Society has been issued as a pam- phlet of 148 pages. It contains a sten- ographic report of the Toronto meeting, together with the essays read, and pub- lished in the Review at the time, to which is appended a list of carnations registered in 1906 and 1907, and a list of the membership of the society. Results bring advertising. The Review brings results. Be business-like; use a printed letter- head. The trade finds collections coming in freely this month. Sphagnum moss is more easily ob- tained than it was a couple of months ago. Every man you buy of has given prices a boost; why don't you pass it on? Look out for thrips; they recur as regularly as the spring fever, and at the same time. The season of hail storms is at hand. Better get under cover — in the Hail Association. Look over your stock of supplies and see that you have all the things needed for Memorial day and the June com- mencements. Order today anything that may be lacking. After October 1, 1907, a letter to any country in the postal union may be sent for 5 cents for the first ounce, and 3 cents for each succeeding ounce or fraction of an ounce. At present it is 5 cents for each half ounce. Several pieces of badly mutilated mail recently have reached the Review, accompanied by the post-office's explana- tion that it happened "while passing through the pneumatic tubes. ' ' Last week C. W. Benson was the great- est sufferer, the letter containing copy for his half-page advertisement being so badly soaked that the address was illegible and it, was returned to him, looking, as he said, "as though it had been through the drainage canal and the Chicago river, as well as the tube." COLD IN MAY. Just as the people were beginning to believe the point of human endurance had been reached in eccentric meteoro- logical conditions, the god of unseason- able weather sifted enough snow out of a murky sky to white the city streets until it melted, and in the suburbs, where the greenhouses are, to leave a blanket varying from a half-inch to an inch and a half in thickness. This was May 3, and the temperature at Chicago went down to 34 degrees. The cold weather extended throughout the greater part of the middle western states, snow falling in many states just west of the Missis- sippi river, and as far east as Ohio. In Nebraska, where a high wind was blow- ing, drifts large enough to delay trains were formed. The weather man said it was the cold- est May day since 1875, with the single exception of May 14, 1895, when the mercury registered 32 degrees above zero. But there was no snow then. May 2, 1875, there was a temperature of 27 de- grees, but still no snow. THE PRICE OF PIPE. The price of pipe is becoming a mat- ter of considerable importance to those who are contemplating the erection of new greenhouses, or who have houses under way but have not yet bought the pipe. Not only is the price going up, but the demand is so great that it is becoming difficult to get promise of de- livery at any early date. Jobbing houses offer quite a variety of reasons for this. It is said that floods in the Pittsburg district forced the mills to shut down and threw them behind in their orders. Another report is that the Standard Oil Co. is buying immense quantities of. pipe and urging that its orders be delivered first. At any rate, a leading jobber re- ports that mills at Pittsburg will only book his orders "open," that is, they will enter them now and along in June or July will notify as to price and date of delivery. That is not a basis on which a jobber can himself give his customers much satisfaction. But the jobbers still have pipe on hand and it can be had if one wants to pay the price. To illustrate what has taken place, one buyer of wrought iron pipe for greenhouse use says that he bought at the lowest at seventy-eight per cent off the list; the next purchase was at seventy off, the next sixty-six, and now sixty off is quoted. That may not sound so bad, but when you reduce it to dollars and cents it is different. The list price on the sizes mentioned is as follows: 1 -inch pipe 16% cents per foot lV4-lnch pipe 27 cents per foot 2 -inch pipe 36 cents per foot 2%-lnch pipe 57% cents per foot 3 -inch pipe 75% cents per foot Now, at seventy-eight per cent off the list, l-inch pipe costs net 3.63 cents per foot; at seventy off it ,costs net 4.75 cents per foot; at sixty-six off it costs net 5.61 cents per foot, and at sixty off it costs net 6.6 cents per foot. Other sizes are in proportion. So really the advance has been, in the period covered by these quotations, about eighty per cent. There is nothing else which enters into greenhouse construction which has advanced so greatly. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. John A. Macrae, Providence, R.

Mention The Review when you write. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The market still is active, but not nearly so strong as in the fortnight pre- ceding the last week. For some reason difficult to explain, the local retailers are doing no great amount of business out- side of funeral work, although this keeps them fairly busy. The out of town demand is brisk, but it has shown some falling off as crops have increased. This is a general condition always to be reckoned with. "When crops increase in Chicago they also increase with all the growers in the Mississippi valley, and these growers stop buying. Then when crops go off, they go off not only in Chicago, but through a considerable range of territory, and many who have been wholesaling are forced to buy for their retail needs. This in a large meas- ure accounts for the wide fluctuations in the Chicago market. "Within the week there has been some little increase in production and some little decline in out of town demand. The rose market continues about as it has been. Beauties are a little less abundant, but still enough to meet the demand. There continue to be large supplies of fancy roses of all other va- rieties, and an especially strong demand for shorts. Eichmond is in especially good supply and there are some splendid Chatenay. Because of the amount of funeral work the shorts are cleaned up first and bring relatively better prices than the higher grade. This is a condi- tion almost without precedent in this market. "Usually it is the fancy stock which sells quickest. Carnations are increasing in supply. It is noted that the city buyers are using few carnations but that the call from outside is strong. "While the avail- able quantities are greater, prices are holding firm. The weather has suited carnations well and the quality is ahead of the usual standard for this season of the year. There is a big business being done in sweet peas. Blanche Ferry is the most common variety. No great quantity of white is received, but there are only a few of the special fancy colors. The better the quality the quicker the peas sell, prices ranging from 50 cents to $2 per hundred. There is a strong demand for valley. "With the continued cool weather, vio- lets are holding on later than ever. Bulbous stock is about gone. The few remaining jonquils and daffodils sell well. The outdoor stock does not cut so large a figure as usual, but it may come later. Callas and Easter lilies sell well but are equal to requirements. Pansies are popular. There is a good sale for all greens. This market always can supply anything needed in greens if the order is placed before the morning rush has cleaned up the day's receipts. Ferns are moving well at all sorts of prices. There are now four varieties of hardy ferns in the market; cold storage stock, spring pick from Massachusetts, spring pick from Michigan and southern stock. The cold storage stock, where good, is command- ing much the highest price. Carnations Frosted. Some of the growers began planting carnations in the field before the usual date, regardless of the backwardness of the season. This is what Joseph P. Brooks, Morton Grove, has to say about it: ' ' I have some of the highest sand and gravel land in the neighborhood, where I grow my carnations for benching, and as my land can be worked and put in shape early I always start early. Later the land becomes too dry and the plants do not take hold as well. Last year I started planting April 20, beginning with Lawson. They were hit by a hard frost about a week later. I remember they looked much injured, but they turned out all right. This time we had the temperature down to 26 degrees and cannot yet tell what harm has been done. Some of the plants look sleepy, but others seem all right and fresh and my idea is that it will not have hurt them much. Several of my neighbors started planting with me, but ceased when it turned cold, and are now making a fresh start, though some are waiting for a warm rain before starting. For my part, I don't mind the cold. I am hard at it every day and by Monday had out about 70,000 plants of Queen and several thousands of other varieties." The Peony Prospects. It is nearly six weeks since the first of the season's peonies reached Has market. There was a period of a month following the first receipts when no peonies were seen. For the last week or ten days there have been a few dozens ,;7"'f7 "^"V ■,"■ 7.'.!^^',T'TJ^:i!.l,»,WWI"pip'i",»KP.(*l" i»H""i HMU) ipnTSvUjlkJi^liW'JVjJl J900 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Max 9, 1007.

It is reported that last week 's drop in tem- perature did much damage in the Mis- souri and southern Illinois fields from which the first supplies come and to which this market looks for Decoration day. The full extent of the injury will not be known until a few warm days have moved the stock along. Practically no outdoor flowers are seen in the market. We had a deluge of them a few days just before Easter. That was three or four weeks earlier than normal. Then came the cold and now the season is two or three weeks later than usual. The crop of peonies will be an important factor in the market for Decoration day. The Weather in April. It was the coldest April since 1874. The moan temperature was 40 degrees, where in 1906 it was 51 degrees and the average for thirty-seven years is 46 de- grees. There was 2.37 inches rainfall and two inches of snow. There were seven clear days, eight partly cloudy and fifteen cloudy. The wind averaged sev- enteen miles an hour. There was killing frost as late as April 26. May started off with snow May 3, from half an inch to an inch and a half deep. Funeral Work. As explaining the heavy run of fu- neral work it may be stated that Chi- cago 's death rate for the first four months of 1907 was greater than in any corresponding period since 1899, accord- ing to the bulletin of the health depart- ment. Abnormal weather conditions are held greatly responsible. Pneumonia leads as a death cause, with 2,405 vic- tims since January 1. This is an excess over the corresponding months of 1906 of 549. There were 222 more deaths due to scarlet fever, 191 more due to heart disease, and 153 more due to consump- tion. The mortality of the last week ex- ceeds that of any seven days since the week ending February 28. There were 764 deaths, an annual death rate of 18.90 per 1,000, and an increase of eighty-six over the week before. Various Notes. The Sehillo Lumber Co. reports much trouble in getting cars to bring pecky rypress from the south. They have sold large quantities of this bench material and would like to get hold of a big lot that is being air-dried in the south, but it is coming along in driblets because of the car shortage. Before the death of Mrs. Louise Schil- ler, plans had been nearly completed for the building of a new store and green- house almost directly across the street from the present establishment at 897 West Madison street, but on account of Mrs. Schiller's death the work of erec- tion has been deferred till next year. The city plans to build a sewer in Robey street, but a number of the prop- erty owners protest, claiming that it is not necessary. Wietor Bros, are one of these. It makes quite a difference to them, as they have 500 feet of frontage on which the special assessment would be spread. Ed. Kissingen, at Fullertoji and Mil- waukee avenues, is buijding a conserva- tory. Bassett & Washburn report that they have a large number of lilies which they are growing cool for Memorial day. All the large growers of young stock of carnations, chrysanthemum? and roses report excellent business the last few ^^•eeks. The carnation cuttings are pretty well sold out and chrysanthemums now in the height of the sea.son. The A. Dietsch Co. reports that the season 's business shows one important change as compared with other years. Ordinarily February and March are the largest months in the matter of booking orders, but this season April exceeded the two preceding months. It always is characteristic that the larger orders are booked early, so that the April increase indicates additions by a large number of growers. There has been much litigation with regard to the drainage canal, which is being built on the north side. This was originally planned to cut diagonally through Peter Reinberg's "farm." The direction has now been changed so that it skirts the property and adds to its value instead of detracting from it. A switch has been put in and a new range of six houses, each 300 feet long, is being erected. Louis Wittbold has completed a mold, by means of which he will erect cement benches all in one piece. It looks so good a thing to him that he contemplates taking out a patent and putting the mold on the ma.rket. Ed. Blameuser, at Niles Center, is re- modeling his residence and adding two greenhouses, 18x125, to his plant. His ^l|.^rl''v^■ Mai 9, 1907.

Club meetings now open promptly at 8 p. m. and there is something of special in- terest every night. Sol. Garland, at Des Plaines, has been sending Percy Jones a remarkably steady cut of carnations all through the season. Asked as to how he manages to main- tain his cut so evenly, he said he thinks it is due to his method of disbudding in the field. Instead of disbudding all the stock at one time, he disbudded part e\-ery day. The result was that the plants had growths in all stages of de- velopment. J. W. Breaky has a new store at 3915 Cottage Grove avenue and is doing a nice business. It is the stand occupied ever so many years by H. & E. Hil- mers, the Art Floral Co. Mrs. Clark 's ladies ' lunch club, at 33 Randolph street, now supplies a large part of the wholesale cut flower market with its daily luncheon.

Emil Buettner is no longer forcing valley for the wholesale market. Ranson Kennicott went to Carbon- dale Monday to superintend the ship- ment of the spring crop of peonies and other outdoor flowers. He will return in season to handle the Kennicott local crop of these flowers. E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros. Co., was at home ill Sunday and Mon- day. There are none more assiduous in their devotion to business than he, and it is a matter for special note when the visitor fails to find him on deck. A. L. Randall and Mrs. Randall are spending the week at West Baden. A florists' baseball team has been or- ganized with W. P. Kyle as manager. The players are young men from both wholesale and retail stores and they say they have a fast team. The first game of the season was played at Washington park last Sunday. It is expected to ar- range for a game there each Sunday aft- ernoon at 3 o'clock. P. J. Hauswirth is at Moliue this week, attending a state meeting of the Red Men.

He says they have had considerable trouble through carnations being asleep Avhen they reached Colum- bus. He has convinced himself that the fault lies with the express company, and not at all with the shippers, and he thinks he has made enough noise around the general oflSces in Chicago so that cut flower boxes will get at least a little of the great amount of special attention the express companies tell us is given flower shipments.

The week opened with just the weather needed in Oklahoma and Kansas ; a warm rain and a thorough one precedes the certain coming of the summer tempera- ture." Before the week is over we will forget there was a six months' winter and that freezing cold extended into May. No such season recurs to the memories of the oldest florist in New York. Still, there is much to be thank- ful for. Business is almost universally encouraging and the outlook is brighter every year, as population grows. There has been but little change in wholesale prices of cut flowers since a week ago. The best Beauties grew scarce and some of them touched 25 cents again. With a few days of sunshine there will be the usual retrogression peculiar to the season. Of all other roses there is an abundance and prices hold at last week's quoted figures. Carnations have been the most inde- pendent of the cut flowers; prices have been well maintained. Quality cannot be excelled. The market was depleted of orchids early because of the large number re- quired for the funeral decoration at the burial of "Silent" Smith. McManus had one order for over 1,200 Cattleya Mossiae. It speaks well for his resources when such a call can be met promptly. The Eosary and Leikens received the bulk of the family orders. The designs were unique and elaborate, the best being a standing wreath and cross of orchids. Gardenias have fallen to the lowest quotations of the year. Of lilies there are enough and to spare. Spring flowers are coming fast, and apple and cherry blossoms enliven the re- tail windows. Fenrich had a large ship- ment of southern lilac Monday. The first southern peonies, the early red variety, were received by J. K. Allen Monday. From now on there will be no lack of anything seasonable and the spring weddings will have novelty and abundance to draw upon. Club Meeting.

John Ringier, brother of Arnold Ringier, of Chicago, has returned to his native land in quest of renewed health and will spend the summer in Switzer- land. Sigmund Geller leaves early in June for his annual business tour in Europe. A. J. Guttman returns Wednesday from Cuba and will give his observations on tropical fruits and flowers at the club meeting. There have been lively doings on Twenty-eighth street. Mr. Sheridan's plate-glass window was mysteriously broken. Mr. Nugent swept the entrance clean of an obstreperous colored demon- stration which obscured the vision and later in self-defense a native American won a Marathon by overcoming a repre- sentative of the race that defended the pass with Leonidas at Thermopylae. After the storm all has been placid and peace- ful, but Twenty-eighth is a lively street now that the wholesalers are gathering there so fast. Gunther Bros, are already settled and will soon have their new store in up-to-date condition at No. 114, while across the way Kervan has rented the whole building and is moving in this week. Hiram T. Jones has completed the out- side planting at the Hotel Knicker- bocker. The New York dailies on Monday were profuse in reports of the overthrow of the U. S.

On the occasion of his leaving Great Neck, April 27, to fill a position on the Hudson, James Bell, superintendent for C. Mayre, was entertained at supper at F. Kane's hotel. John Ingram occupied the chair and, after supper, presented Mr. Bell, in the name of his many friends, with a handsome 400-day time- piece. Mr. Bell feelingly replied. Alex. Lothian gave a fine address ; also Messrs. Matthews, Walker and Hoye. A pleas- ant evening was spent with song and story. Mr. Lothian, as toastmaster, pro- posed the health of Mr. and Mrs. Bell and family. The chairman moved a vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. F. Kane for the splendid supper. The company broke up by singing "Auld Lang Syne." John Reese, lately with Bonnet & Blake, has bought the retail store at 301 Flatbush avenue, formerly owned by Miss Koch, of Flatbush. Mr. Reese has had experience in all departments of the business and should succeed. Miss Koch will soon accept congratulations from her many friends on the occasion of her marriage to Julius Eoehrs, Jr., of Rutherford, N. J. Last week I stated there had been some closings of retail stores lately that were no credit to the trade. The whole- salers tell me this was putting the mat- ter very mildly. In one case especially it is said to be much easier to name those who escaped than the multitude who were bitten. There are too many barn doors locked after the horse has got away. Reed & Keller have received notice of the granting of a patent for their famous cycas-leaf holder. Their latest inventions are bamboo canopies, glass hangers and screens. The latter, a three- winged aflfair, cannot fail to become popular, as it reduces cost to a minimum. The firm has an exhibit this week at the Quincy house in Boston. The firm of Wm. H. Brewer's Sons, 428 Fifth avenue, was dissolved April 30 by mutual consent. John L, Brewer will conduct the business at the old stand. Lorenzo Brower will have an office in the Coogan building and devote his attention to special and family work, a new departure, which by persistence and close attention to his patrons' interests cannot fail to win. John Myers came to this country forty-one years ago. He rented a block of land from the Astor estate, at Nine- tieth street and Broadway, for $500 a year, and has been doing business there all these years, while on every side of him the city grew and buildings rose. Fifty-ninth street was the end of New York in those days. For forty years Mr. Myers has been subject to a thirty- day notice of removal from his acre and a half and million-dollar block.

Perkins & Schumann have risen. They now occupy a store five or six times larger than their last and on the first floor of the Coogan building, a most con- venient place in every way and just what they needed for their growing trade.

Bonnot, of Jersey City, is now visit- ing his old home, Paris, France, and in his letters to his brother in the Coogan building, asserts that in elaborate and beautiful fitting up the Parisians' retail stores are in advance of our own. A. M. Henshaw was confined to his home last week with a severe case of the grip.

There will be a special exhibition of tulips and other late bulbous flowers, etc., at Horticultural hall, Saturday, May 18.' It would pay commercial grow- ers to visit this show and note the names of the many fine Darwin and other late tulips which are invaluable for Memorial day trade. General S. M. Weld has invited the trustees of the Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society to visit his estate in Ded- ham May 11. Owing to the lateness of the season, the annual rhododendron exhibition of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society will be held June 8, in lieu of June 1, as previously arranged. Various Notes. William Nicholson finds that margue- rites have sold better this year than ever before. His sales average 10,000 per week, and many more could be dis- posed of. William H. Elliott will plant his large new house, at Madbury, N. H., with Eichmond and Killarney, in the culture of which varieties he is in the front rank. James Farquhar has a fine batch of seedling liliums which he is watching with much interest. They are crosses between L. Philippinense, L. longiflorum, L. Krameri, etc., and Mr. Farquhar hopes to bloom quite a number during the present year. Superintendent Kirkland is preparing, for an active campaign against the gypsy and brown-tailed moths through- out the state. Some of the parasites in- troduced here wintered well and great hopes are placed on the work they will do in the future. Local nurseries report an unusually busy season. The cool spring has ma- terially assisted them in keeping pace with their orders. Superintendent Pettigrew is particu- larly busy this season, doing a great deal of planting of shrubbery in the park system. Tulips in the Boston Public Gardens are later than usual and will be at their height about May 12. W. N. Craig. THE READERS' CORNER. Floating; a Boiler. South Park Floral Go. is almost too large a name for this strenuous age, so I am now running the business under my own name. I started here three years ago with two houses, each 20x50 feet. Last summer I built a carnation house, 25x127. We are now building a rose house, 25x50. I do my own erecting of houses. The Moninger Co. furnished the material for the rose house. We grow a general line of stock. I did a caper that I do not think any- one else in the business has ever done. That is, I bought a first-class sixty horse- power locomotive type of boiler, with sixty 3-inch flues, and it was on the other side of the river and four miles above town, in an almost inaccessible place. I could not get a drayman in our town of 18,000 people to contract to move the boiler. I worked my knowledge box overtime and figured that the blamed May 9, 1907.

So I closed all openings and pumped fifteen pounds air jji-essure into it, and as it was lying within a hundred feet of the river I rigged up a set of skids and rolled it into the river.

If there is anything I enjoy it is to sit in my armchair after a hard day's work and muse over all the interesting things you publish in the Review every week; so instructive, so edifying, so en- couraging; it makes work lighter for us. We have had a very peculiar spring — so very warm in March, soaring to 90 de- grees in the shade and making everybody in a rush to plant trees and shrubs; but so cold in April that planting has been much delayed. I have had a busy season 80 far. Robert Fulstone. TROUBLE WITH GERANIUMS. Will you please tell me what is the cause of my geraniums turning crim- son? The edge of the leaf will first show red and finally the entire leaf turns a brilliant crimson. Plants are not growing. I at first thought too much bone meal was used in the com- post, but I now find that some of the plants show the same trouble that had no fertilizer. They are in 3-inch pots, and the pots placed on a bench that has two inches of wood shavings, getting full sunshine and located in the lightest and airiest part of the house. What can I do to overcome it? E. H. O. Without knowing something of the local conditions and treatment it is dif- ficult to tell what can have caused the coloring of the leaves referred to. I presume the plants are not too much potbound and have been carefully wa- tered. If intended for late spring sales there is little time left now to tone them up. I would scratch over the sur- face of the soil and if the pots are well filled with roots give a watering with nitrate of soda once in four or five days. This should make the plants greener very soon. I think it possible that too much bone may have been used, but the fact that other plants, in the compost for which no bone was used, are also in the same condition, leads me to think that either the plants have been starved or underwatered. I think the use of nitrate of soda or some other quick acting chemical fertilizer will im- prove them. C. W. The Review will send Smith's Mum Manual for 40 cents.

The first week in May brings rather unusual conditions. Owing to the cool, (lark weather which has prevailed for a fortnight or more, flowers where they have been cared for are in excellent con- dition; unusually good value for the prices prevailing. There is, of course, considerable rubbish of little or no value. Business has fallen off, the demand being weak and irregular, especially on white flowers. Colored stock is much better value. Carnations have again become rather scarce, prices holding well for the season, excepting on whites. Sw«et peas have fallen, the best being one-third lower than ten days ago. Violets can still be had, owing to the cool weather. Cornflowers have made their appear- ance in fair quantity. Candytuft is an addition to the list. Valley is in fair demand; the outdoor stock has not as yet made any impression. Cattleya Mossiae is of excellent quality and plenti- ful; other orchids are over. Beauties are fine, plentiful, and good value. Tea roses are selling well for the better grades, poorly for the ordinary. Liberty and Richmond are not in especial demand. Ilarrisii lilies are scarcer, the best bring- ing higher prices. Daisies are fine and plentiful. Dagger ferns are extremely scarce. Wyncote. It always is a pleasure to go over the houses of the Joseph Heacock Co., near Jenkintown station, P. & E. No matter what season of the year you may happen to visit them, order and cleanliness always prevail. The palm range is de- voted largely to kentias, as of yore, two- thirds Belmoreana and one-third Forster- iana. The stock is in vigorous condition, showing only the ravages of the buyer, a parasite who threatens to destroy certain sizes before August if unchecked. There are, however, thousands more in the next lower sizes coming rapidly forward. The features of the larger kentias are the introduction of the 9-inch and of the 12-inch tubs, which have now supplanted pots of those sizes.

From a grower's standpoint the moisture of the wood is more beneficial to root action than the pots, which so readily dry out. A change is noted in the system of making up plants. In Forsteriana, espe- cially, 12-inch tubs are now made up from the specimen 8-inch plants, sur- rounded by smaller 5-inch plants. This is preferred to the old method of mak- ing them up in 6-inch from a 4-inch plant and some smaller plants around it. Belmoreana, while more expensive, is oc- casionally made up for buyers who pre- fer this variety for its grace. One house of Areca lutescens is now growing into condition. This variety had been almost discarded, but was taken up again to meet the market requirements. Cocos WeddelUana is grown in limited quantities for fern dishes. Among the ferns were some specimens of Nephrolepis Bostoniensis Harrisii in 12-inch pans on pedestals. The plain Boston fern is grown to some extent in 5-inch and 6-inch pots; also N. Whit- mani and N. Baxrowsii. A few plants of Cibotium Schiedei are also grown. The rose par excellence of the place is American Beauty, house after house being filled with this variety, tall and leafy as a forest, with thousands of their little ones in 2^x3-inch pots near by. Liberty, Bichmond and Killarney are also grown, the first largely. Two additions, made recently, add dignity to the establishment, the first a handsome office with open brick fire- place, an air of substantial comfort per- vading; under it a well-built cement vault containing an ice-box for holding the roses. Some fine carnations on a shelf in the vault gave evidence of well- grown stock in those houses. Various Notes. Charles Balderston, of Colora, Md., well known as a grower of Jacq roses, died April 28, 1907, after a severe attack of grip. Mr. Balderston, who was 61 years of age, has been a shipper to this city for many years. Miss Mooney, of Mooney & Weir, "The Little Flower Shop," Wilkes Barre, Pa., was a visitor in this city on Monday. The Florex Gardens have their mam- moth greenhouse at North Wales, Pa., well under way. The smaller house is far advanced. Eugene Bernheimer and George Samtman are busily engaged there, keeping the wheels moving. William Gloeckner, of Albany, N. Y., was in this city last week. H.

Dreer Co., read an able paper on ' ' The Organization and Equipment of a Modern Horticultural Establish- ment" before the Florists' Club last Tuesday evening. This paper will be found elsewhere in this number. The Leo Niessen Co. is having a good demand for Cattleya Mossise. The funeral of H. B. Curran, of the firm of Castner, Curran & Bullitt, on Monday created an active demand for choice flowers, branch offices of the Pocahontas smokeless coal sending orders to this city for floral tributes. It is said that M. Rice almost had trouble with the German authorities over a cartridge hidden in a candy box in his possession on the steamer. William Kleinheinz, of Lynwood Hall, objects to the statement in this column that after an automobile accident in Washington recently he was taken to his hotel in a red devil, unless it be coupled with the statement that Phil was sent back to his hotel in a trolley car. Joseph Swearer, of Holland, Pa., is cutting nice Brides, Maids and Aspara- gus plumosus. A letter addressed to "Mr. Edward Reid, gardener," proved the writer to be a good Review man. Berger Bros, are enjoying an active market. It is a pleasure to record that Ralph G. Faust, treasurer of the S. S. Pennock- Meehan Co., is back at his post after a long illness. I should have called Robert Scott & Son's new rose Mrs. Jardine, not Mrs. Gardine, as incorrectly given by me last week. Phil. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Cut flower trade has been only fair. Weather conditions were unfavorable, making it hard on the growers, retailers and wholesalers. A great deal of funeral work helped out greatly with the store men. The greenhouse men feel gloomy over the weather, as little planting out could be done. At the wholesale houses we find the usual scarcity in carnations, with prices away up on all varieties. White had a great demand, with 4 cents about the average price. Lawson and Enchantress were also in demand, only few reds coming in. In roses there is a different story to tell, as there is an actual glut of them in the market, and extra good stock at that, with plenty of extra fine long Americair Beauties, which went begging all week. Bride, Maid, Chatenay, Rich- mond and Perle are many more than the demand calls for, and shorts sold as low as $5 per thousand. Callas and Harrisii, too, are plentiful and cheap; also lily of the valley has gone down a cent or two in price. The quality is fine.

They at- tack many species of greenhouse plants, lettuce, violets, etc. ' ' They prefer moist situations, hence drainage, where practicable, is a pre- ventive and a remedy. Trapping with cabbage leaves, sweetened bran, etc., is the usual practice and clear, weak lime- water sprinkled over the plants and on the soil will drive them out. ' ' PITTSBURG FLORISTS' CLUB.

SPRING CROP OF LETTUCE. If the last crop of the season is just about completed and those in the cold- frames almost ready to cut, the condi- tions for a continuous supply will be all right. Where coldframes are not de- pended on so much, another crop in the greenhouse will have to be under way to keep up the supply to meet the first out- door crop, which will be later than usual this year. Some of the larger growers do not trouble much with coldframes, but with us the coldframe crops are the most sat- isfactory of the season. True, the earlier crop for some time after planting re- quires a good deal of attention in regard to covering and protecting during cold •ipells, but once the warm spring weather •its in this trouble is reduced to a Hiinimum and the plants seem to grow along without any trouble, W'e have never had a case of disease in the frames. This in itself is a strong argu- ment in favor of frame culture. Plants intended for subsequent plant- ing in the open ground should have at- tention in regard to hardening off be- fore the time of setting out arrives. This time differs considerably with the locality. We can usually trust them out- doors before this date, but this is an exceptional season.

If protection can be given during cold nights they could be set in the open ground even earlier than this, but where large plantings are made, cov- ering is hardly practicable. Two good varieties, the two best we have tried, are Boston Market and Big Boston, Hardi- ness is one of their strong points, but the quality and flavor are also there. Radishes are another very satisfac- tory frame crop.

Seed Trade News. AHEBICAN 8BKD TBADE ASSOCIATION. Pres., Henry W. Wood, Richmond, Va.; First Vlce-Pree., Charles Burge, Toledo, O.; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 25th annual meeting will be held at New York City, June, 1^07 Seedsmen will appreciate the illustra- tion on page 1889 of this issue. Tuberose and other flowering bulbs that were scarce and high some time ago are now offered freely. The canners report a poor prospect for a pea crop. A light pack will in- crease the demand for seed peas for next season. If collections turn out as good as an- ticipated the jobbers will have little fault to find with the final result of the 1907 seed business. All lines of the seed trade are still feeling the effects of unseasonably cold weather. Reports from all sections show that the depression is general. J. E. Farrinqton does business at An- adarko, Okla., and Chickasha, I. T., han- dling seeds and intending to go more heavily into this line another season. There is a hopeful feeling that the weather will get warm enough to plant sweet corn before it is too late; so far the demand for corn is far below normal. It is sometimes surprising how much vitality there is in seeds. Some of the early vegetables, after lying six weeks in the cold, wet ground, are germinating nicely. Seedsmen will be interested in Farm- ers' Bulletin No. 282, entitled " Celery, " just issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The author is W. E. Seattle. The market gardeners are becoming pretty well discouraged. The season is the most unfavorable ever experienced and the conditions are general. In the long run, the seed trade will also be loser. The M. G. Madson Seed Co., Mani- towoc, Wis., in addition to its retail and catalogue seed business, handles fruit trees, small fruits, roses, bulbs, and al- lied lines. The season is late this year, but good. In Germany, as in this country, onion seed was among the short items this season, except Giant Yellow Zittau, which was in abundance owing to the unusually large plantations in 1906, and the price of this sort went down lower than ever. Edward Rigg, Jr., Burlington, N. J., is advertising in the May issues of farm papers as follows: "Onion seed — Prize- taker, $1 per lb. ; Southport Yellow Globe, $1.50 per lb.; Southport White Globe, $2 per lb. Subject to being un- sold." The suburban amateur gardener has a grudge against the weather man. The gardens and lawns that looked so well at this time last year are barren, undug and generally going to the bad. There is no question about a lack of enthusiasm among this class of seed buyers, and the dollars they intended to spend for garden supplies will be used for the summer vacations.

Our superintendent over our Wis- consin branch, when last reporting, stated that it was snowing as he wrote and that the first seeding was still two weeks off. Our Mr. Cross, in charge of our Michigan branch, states that no seed- ing was done in his section until the first part of May. However, this handicap will be readily overcome if favorable conditions follow. The seed grower must be optimistic. Treat us somewhat more respectably in the mat- ter of moisture than we were treated last season and we will yet 'make good' with a crop of peas and beans. As to acreage, up to March it looked as though we should not get all our seed out — the farmers were thoroughly dis- couraged. An advance in farm prices, together with other considerations, and much coaxing finally induced them to try once more, with the result that all of our desired acreage of both peas and beans is now booked. "Our stocks along all lines are un- expectedly well cleaned up. In the small seeds we have no surplus to men- tion, and of corn only the customary odds and ends, which will always be on hand at the end of every season. Together, however, these do not aggre- gate a surplus of any consequence. Of peas, it goes without saying, and of beans as well, we are practically bare. Thus we start out the new year of pro- duction with a clean slate, good future sales and high hopes for a full crop."

If one could be sure that the impurities were harmless, like chaff and timothy, it might be safe to buy a red- top even as low as eighty-five per cent pure. Unless one is assured of the character of the impurities, it is unwise to buy a redtop less than ninety-five per cent pure. From the above it is evident that in the judgment of the director of the ex- periment station, it is wise to buy only high grade seeds that are comparatively pure. He says that not only are the high-grade seeds purer, but they are usually larger, plumper and heavier, more of them will germinate, and they make stronger plants. Baldwinsville, N. Y. — T. N.

EUROPEAN NOVELTIES. The following notes on continental novelties we take from the supplement to the Horticultural Trade Journal, an English publication : Begonia Semperf lorens La France. This cross between B. semperflorens elegans and B. semperflorens gracilis rosea, possesses all the good j)oiuts of the parents; the large blooms form co- rymbs of great breadth, well raised above the foliage, and so numerous as to cover the entire plant. The plant has good height, leaves shining green, and of a size commensurate with the blooms. Well adapted for large as for small beds, etc, and for pot culture and solitary plants. When taken up from the beds in the open in autumn and pot- ted, the plant continues to flower the en- tire winter. The variety originated in a garden in southern Germany, and is being sent out by Daiker & Otto, nur- serymen, at I^ngenweddingen, near Magdeburg. Begonia Semperflorens Berna. This pretty variety is much finer than B. semperflorens magnifica, and comes true from seed, a matter of great value to those who are not possessed of much space under glass in the winter season. It has been in commerce for two years. The flowers are brilliant red in tint, the anthers j-ellow, making a good effect. The growth is much branched, and the flowering extends from early summer to late autumn. The leaves have a metallic hue. It is better to avoid a rich soil for B. semperflorens if flowers are de- sired. Gigantic G)Ieu8. Half a dozen crosses of coleus have been raised by the firm of Teupel Bros., of (^uedlinburg, which are said to ex- ceed all other large growing varieties in the extraordinary sizes of their leaves and robustness of growth. The leaves also possess fine coloring. The plants make imposing objects and bear com- parison with the handsomest codseiums, but they are incomparably quicker and more easy growers. Fuchsia Emile Wildman. Although the fuchfia has been a fa- vorite plant with hybridists and cross- breeders for more than three-quarters of a century, novelties are annually be- ing raised which deserve attention. Among the latest of these is Emile de Wildman. a variety put into commerce in 1905 by the raisers, Lemoine & Sons, of Nancy. This variety grows naturally in regular pyramidal form without prun- ing, and flowers grandly, still it is ad- vised by a writer in Moller's Deutsche (iartner-Zeitung to nip off the flower buds till the end of the month of May. The flowers j)ossess carmine sepals of a light tint, and a very large and full corolla of a dull tint of rose-pink. The plant has great vigor and should find much employment in conservatories on pillars and walls, and as a standard. Heliotrope Cyclops. One of the most valuable varieties of heliotropes is Cycjops, raised by Herrn. P. Fidler, at Strausberg, near Berlin. The habit diflfers from that of the older varieties, is more compact, and growth is made from below, and without being rampant, and the flower corymbs stand out well from the leaves and shoots, on stout footstalks. The plant is as avail- 1000 Tuberous-Rooted Begonias Fine Bulbs, Cut Price to Ciose Out Perdoz. 100 Slnsle, Yellow, Red, Rose, Lemon, Orange and White ii6c 12 00 8jnKle, Mixed 30c 1.90 $18.00 l/ouble.

PACIFIC COAST. Tacoma, Wash. — Charles Halkier ex- pects to begin this summer the erection of three parallel greenhouses, each 16x100 feet. Tacoma, Wash. — E. B. Roberts, super- intendent of parks, has offered the U. S. Department of Agriculture the use of five acres of land in Point Defiance park for experiments in bulb growing. Grass Vallev, Cal. — William E. John- son has a force of men at work building large greenhouses at his place on West Broad street. He expects to engage ex- tensively in the flower and plant business. Chico, Cal. — A sale has been consum- mated whereby F. W. Power, who has held the controlling interest in the Chico Nursery Co., and M. McDonald and A. McGill, minority stockholders, have dis- posed of their entire interests in this company to F. X. Bouillard, E. Wight- man and E. Harlan of this city, who are now sole proprietors. VICTORIA, B. C. Bedding season has set in and the out- look is gooil. Geraniums look like being in short supply. Carnations are now fine in many of the establishments. Enchantress, of course, holds first place. Wollaston & Wallace's bulb farm is now in its glory. One bed of Narcissus Barrii conspicuus contains 40,000 flow- ers. They are cutting Narcissus Emperor with stems two feet long. The death of Mrs. M. A. Farrington is announced in the obituary column this week. • E. A. W. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Business is at a low ebb and were it not for the few funerals and some- thing in the way of school closings there would be hardly aoiything to write about. The threatened street car strike did not materialize, as was expected, and everyone breathes more freely in consequence, as during the trouble of last year the florists were affected dis- astrously. Stock of all kinds, with the possible exception of fancy roses, is extremely plentiful and prices are away down. Carnations can be had at any figure, but the surplus will be over in a few days and better prices may prevail. There is not much yet to be had in the line of outside stock. A few sweet peas have arrived, but they show the results of the excess of moisture and from the first plantings we can not expect an extra good cut. Violets are practically over. Only a few straggling bunches are seen and there is no demand for them. Late flowering daffodils, as well as outdoor tulips, are holding on. Valley is plentiful and cheap, although it is not in quite as abundant supply as it was two weeks ago. Peonies sell well, but they are not yet in large supply. Coreopsis, gaillardias and stocks are be- ginning to be peddled around the streets by the hucksters, which usually shows that flowers are getting plentiful and prices have dropped. In Oakland the retailers seem to be as.OOO seeds $ 35.00 50,000 866(18 65.00 100,000 seeds 110.00 CALIFORNIA True Asparagus Plumosus Seed Raised under lath in Gallfcrnia, is so superior in vitality as to be beyond comparison.

( larke Bros., of Oakland, took a unique way of advertising the openings of their new Clay street store. They announced in the daily papers that every lady attending would be given a bouquet of carnations. The crush was tre- mendous ; the public stormed the place all day long. The clerks were unable to handle the mob, but succeeded in giv- ing away about 25,000 flowers before the day was over. John Vallance, for many years super- intendent of the plant department of the Cox Seed Co. at Glen Echo, will con- tinue in the sanie position with ('. C. Morse & Co., the successors of the former owners. Much difficulty is being experienced by the growers in getting sufficient help to handle their nurseries. The tre- mendous demand in other lines in which labor is better paid accounts for this, so that the growers have had to rely to a great extent on Japanese. Thomas O'Xeil, for many years identified with the Myrobolan Nurseries at Hayward, has withdrawn from that firm and will plant about twenty acres of young stock at Mount Eden. .T. J.

Hill, Dt s MoineB, la.; Sec'y, Geo. O. Seatrer, Rochester; Treas..C.L. Yates, Rochtster. The 82d annual coi>ventlon will be held at De- troit, Mich., June, 1907. It is reported that the Waterloo Nurs- ery Co., Waterloo, Wis., is planning to remove its headquarters to Fall Creek, Wis. Augustine & Co., Normal, 111., report a fine spring business, prolonged by the continued cold weather. They have shipped Sudduth pear trees to South Af- rica, Australia, Japan and other coun- tries. The U. . S. Department of Agriculture has just issued a bulletin of forty-two pages devoted to a discussion of * ' Spraying for Apple Diseases and the (Codling Moth in the Ozarks. " As it is stated that Ben Davis is the predominat- ing variety in the orchards affected, dis- criminating consumers of apples will doubtless think the publication of the pamphlet a sad waste of puoiic funds, but if the bulletin does not show how to improve the flavor of the Ben Davis, it tells how the merchantable percentage of the crop may be largely increased. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. Currants and gooseberries encuml)er the ground if they are not kept free of worms. 1 know of nothing so unsightly as rows of currant and gooseljerry bushes denuded of their foliage and with starved fruit sorrowfully clinging to their branches. Timely applications of pow- dered hellebore will keep them in good condition and render them capable of maturing good fruit. The early morn- ing, when the foliage is moist, is the best time to apply the powder; one or even two applications may not suffice. California privet grown into shapely specimens of medium size will pay for the little extra care and trouble required, by the price easily obtained for such stock. To grow them as suggested, the plants after the first year neeil room to form into the dimensions de.sired. An occasional clipping will bring them into shape. Many privets grown in this way are now planted singly and in groups and rows on private estates. Standard privets in many instances are answering the purposes for which bay trees were heretofore used, and it is questionable if they are not as effective as the bays. Tliey are certainly hardier and can be produced at a much less expense. .Japanese maples, in order to keep them in good shape indefinitely, should be regularly pruned hard back. Then they will continue to develop their ef- fective characteristics, whereas, if they are let alone to grow unhindered, in a very short while they will get unshapely and bare of foliage at the base. Plants of Hydrangea Otaksa in tubs and left unsold should be planted out in the open ground, and, if the flowers are no consideration, it will also help to in- crease the value of the plants to cut them back well when planting them. Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora is easily grown from hardwood cuttings, and considering the demand for plants of small size they should be grown in large numbers.

Department ot Agricul- ture, issued another set of its forest planting leaflets. These will be of in- terest to the nurserymen, as they describe the characteristics of each species, treated under the several headings of form and size, range, habits and growth, economic uses, methods of propagation, planting, cultivation and care, etc. Not only is the department issuing a large edition of these circulars, but copies are supplied to the daily and weekly press, with the result that the circulation runs into millions of copies. The subjects of this series are as fol- lows: Hardy catalpa, Catalpa speciosa; box elder, Acer negundo; white willow, Salix alba; tamarack, Larix laricina; black walnut, Juglans nigra; osage orange, Toxylon pomiferum; coffee tree, Gymnocladus dioicus; green ash, Fraxi- nus lanceolata; yellow poplar, Lirioden- dron tulipifera. FOLEY'S FAMILY FRACAS. M. F. Foley, president of the Great Northern Nursery Co., Baraboo, Wis., was a candidate for the state senate at the last election and political capital was made of a suit started by his brother, W. E. Foley, who claimed a balance due under a contract. Election circulars said the plaintiff wanted a "square deal." W. E. Foley had a contract with the Great Northern Nursery Co., under which he was to receive certain stock from the company at wholesale prices, and he in turn sold this stock to custom- ers in different parts of Wisconsin, using the company's order blanks, but taking the profits between the price he paid to the company and that which he got from the customers. In the season of 1905 he took certain orders for deliver- ing the following spring, which he claimed he turned over to the company and upon which he sued for $977. M. F. Foley claimed that the orders taken by W. E. Foley were purchased by the company and more than paid for. The questions submitted to the jury, with answers by the jury, were: 1. Did the defendant company pur- chase of W. E. Foley the orders in ques- tion! Answer: Yes. 2. Did W. E. Foley have any authority to give free replace contracts with de- fendant's customers? Answer: No. Both questions were decided in favor of the company, and the decision wiped out the plaintiff's cause for action en- tirely, and it entitles the company to go on and prove what damages have been caused by the plaintiff having gi^■en replace contracts to patrons which he had no right to do. The company claims that the replace contracts made with customers by W. E. Foley, then agent of the company, were filled because it was obliged to make good agreements of agents in order that it might retain its standing with the patrons. Whether the Great Northern Nursery Co. will prosecute for damages is not known, but it is likely that it will not, now that its president has removed the stigma from his name of having "tried to beat his brother."

One of the hardiest deutzias is the species par\'iflora, a native of northern China. A native of China and Japan is Deutzia scabra, usually sold in nurseries as Deutzia crenata. It varies in height from six to ten feet, according to condi- tions, with stout, yellowish branches. The upright, spiked, white clusters come into bloom in June and last until July. There are a good many forms of this deutzia in cultivation, differing in semi- double, double and purple or rose-tinted blossoms. Deutzia Watereri has a large, double, rose-tinted flower which is showy. Deut- zia discolor, a native of China, is a grace- ful shrub growing three to four feet tall, wit^ white flowers tinged with pink on the outer side of the petals. It needs protection from the cold in New Eng- land winters. Deutzia Kalmaeflora is a beautiful shrub, with large, white, dis- tinct blossoms slightly tinted with rose, but the publicity bureau of the National Council of Horticulture says it should be well protected in winter. A large number of forms and hybrids have lately been sent out by French originators in which the parentage of Deutzia gracilis on one side has been largely used, and which are conspicuous for rose tints, large, bell-shaped blossoms and more conspicuous clusters. The Beview is the most compact and business-like journal in the horticultural field. — C. Adams, Memphis, Tenn. IVY ENGLISH, 2 to 3 ft.. 4-in. pots, per 100, $10.00 to $12.60.

Munson, Denlson, Tex., read before a recent session of his state hor- ticultural society.] It has always been the custom of in- telligent and progressive people, when they find there is a quality lacking, or a shortcoming in any article, tool, animal or food, to find out what this shortcom- ing is, or what the defect is, or where it lacks in certain qualities that might be better, and then to see if such can not be improved, either by doing away with the poor qualities and substituting better or to improve that quality already found. Such has been the history of tile grape in Texas and the south. Need of the South. When the pioneers first came to this country they found no native cultivated varieties, but only wild kinds growing in the woods, and these wild kinds, while the vines flourished, produced no such fruit in good eating qualities or did not have the proper marketing qualities as had such cultivated varieties in the north and east. So the first improvement over the sour grapes of the woods was to get vines of the northern varieties and plant them here. But it was soon demon- strated that they would not be the ideal grape for the south, as they were gener- ally short-lived, and the quality of the Max 9, 1907. I ^^.- r*'^''" ■<■■■>.

DREER, lU Chestoot Street, Philadelphia, Pa. The above prices are only lor Florists, or those eneraered in the trade. fruit was not as good as the same variety is found to possess in its northern home. The efifort to plant the varieties of the vinifera or European grape also failed in that the vines and fruit possess no re- sistive qualities to fungus troubles; that is, mildews or rots. The reason for their doing so well in California and other places is that those places have a dry at- mosphere, in which such fungus growths do not thrive. Thus it became patent that if the grape industry was to be of any good in this section of the south it was necessary to get a set of varieties that could endure the climatic conditions of severe drouth and sudden cold and at the same time to get grapes of fine eat- ing and good marketing qualities. Meeting the Need. Here was a want to be supplied. How was this to be filled? By improving the old sorts, by giving them healthy vines and better quality, if possible; by im- proving the vigorous, long-lived native grapes by giving them a sweeter, a more agreeable flavor, a larger cluster and a persistent berry, so that it would carry to distant markets. Could not this come about by cross-breeding and combine the good qualities of both fruit and vine into a new variety? Such was the solution. But it can not be done in a day, or a generation, but must take time and patience. We find in the woods as native growth vines of the post oak grape. Learning its life history and characteristics, we find it to be healthy, vigorous, deep- rooting and long-lived, in a climate we want such qualities. But we find its fruit is rather too astringent for pleas- ant eating, but also find there is quite a variation in its fruit, as some vines have much better and sweeter fruit than others, as well as a variation in size of cluster, and persistence of berry to clus- ter. In this way a selection is made of the vines having the fruit nearest our ideal. Such vines are taken up at the proper season, or else cuttings taken from them and propagated so that we can have vines to set in the vineyard as parent vines. In the same way we choose varieties of the other kinds, hav- ing the fine flavors, large, fine appearing clusters. After the selection of the parent vines are made, and having them planted in the same or neighboring vine- yards, we are ready for the next step. [To be continued.] 1932 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Siuee my last report the market con- ditions have been about the same. The stores and retail markets are doing all that can be expected. . The cold days and nights hampered business somewhat and, to top it off, the circus was hero and the races were going on, which made the -week a little dull. However, few cut flowers went to waste. Carna- tions are just enough to meet the de- mand. Boses are a little, more plentiful, •while violets are getting to be a pre- mium. Bulbous stock is getting off the market fast. There is a good supply of callas and Harrisii left. Greens of all kinds are a little scarce yet. We are still in the clutches of wintry weather and the bedding plants move slowly. As soon as the weather breaks, thousands of potted plants will be thrown upon the market and a grand rush will take place. Already some of our growers are offering plants at an extremely low figure. Various Notes. F. Seidlich, of Woodlawn, has sold ;his place, consisting of five and one-half acres, and has bought one and one-half acres of land from Mrs. Selzie, at Ca- tonsville. He will rebuild at once. The weather conditions ha\"e kept one of the regulars at home, J. H. Brummel, of (.'atonsville, who has been well known by tiie trade for the last twenty-five years and who has stood on the same corner that his son, August, now occu- pies. jS'o doubt, as soon as the weather permits lie will again be with the regu- lars. J. O. Strand reports market trade dull in the potted plant line. After spending a day in town May 3, J. B. Harman, on reaching his home, found a large hay barrack a mass of flames and the stables and other build- ings in danger. The prompt arrival of the county fire department kept the blaze under control. Mr. Harman has one of the liest kept places in Catonsville. Thomas Patterson, of Waverly, is of- fering his place for sale. It is improved with a fine dwelling house and stable and a range of greenhouses, and is con- venient to the center of the citv. H. C. Scott & Sons, of Ellicott City, are cutting a fine lot of short-stemmed Marechal Niel out of a house 20x60 feet. These come in splendidly for funeral work and there is a steady demand for them.

The first annual banquet of the Al- bany riorists' Club was held in the even- ing of April 29 in the Hotel Hampton. It was attended by thirty-four members of the trade in Albany and vicinity and proved a most enjoyable occasion. One of the features was the election of offi- cers for the ensuing year. It resulted as follows : President, William C. King; first vice- president, Edward F. Meany; second vice-president, Frank M. Briare; treas- urer, William C. Kurth; secretary, Thomas F. Tracy; committee on by-laws and board of trustees, Patrick Hyde (chairman), Henry Barthel, Fred Henkes, Fred Goldring and Patrick K. Morrissey. The newly elected president, William C. King, was escorted into the chair of office by a committee composed of William C. Gloeckner and William C. Kurth. Short addresses were made by Fred Henkes, the temporary president of the club, which was organized last summer, Frederick Goldring, the oldest florist in this section, and by Fred A. Danker, Wil- liam C. Gloeckner, William C. Kurth, Frank M. Briare, Henry Barthel, Patrick K. Morrissey, Thomas F. Tracy, Edward Tracy and others, who made impromptu responses. John A. Howe, Jr., gave re- cital of his experiences as an amateur florist and in addition gave a number of humorous recitations. Among those present were the follow- ing: Fred A. Danker, William C. King, William C. Gloeckner, William Hannell, Watervliet; Patrick Hyde, Frank M. Briare, George Russell, Henry Barthel, James Conley, John Murnane, Jr., Frank Keeler, Thomas Snare, Edward F.

Weather conditions continue the same — one fair day and three cloudy or rainy ones, with an occasional frost sand- wiched iu. Last Monday all were hope- ful that we were going to have season- able weather, but today it is raining, all are in the dumps, and the flower shops look like funeral houses. There is no change in stock coming in. Carnations are still short of supply. Eoses are bringing good prices. Lilies and smilax are short of supply, but beauties are in abundance. Violets are still very good, with lots of outside nar- cissi of all kinds. Various Notes. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Cp. is re- ceiving large quantities of Gladiolus Blushing Bride, which arc fine. The Pittsburg Bose & Carnation Co. is cutting fine Richmond, Chatenay and Killarney. J. B. Murdoch & Co. report a satisfac- tory business. They handle stock from growers as far east as Philadelphia and as far west as Indiana. Among the people who are standing on their toes at this time is John Bader; the plant business is keeping him going overtime. Randolph Sc McClements are trying to do some building, and their plant and decorative business is very active. Blind Bros., with their two stores and market stand, are showing up well with the large quantities of blooming plants they have in every day. Mrs. E. A. Williams has her hands full with numerous social affairs and decorations. The Florists' Club will meet Tuesday evening. May 7. Hoo-Hoo. Lansing, Mich. — Rheinhardt J.

In the month of May we can say in New Orleans that the best season to sell plants is over. This year has not been satisfactory, by any means. After a mild winter the gardens were full enough of plants which had survived to not require much new planting. Besides, the prices, owing to some surplus pro- duction and close competition, have been decidedly lower than usual. r. X. Baker, who supplies several markets downtown, is selling young roses at a low figure. It is astonishing to see the growth these little cuttings received from the north make in two or three months, when planted in the right soil. They become bushes which look as though they were two or three years old. B. Eichling is again with U. J. Virgin. E. Lockerbie took the contract to level the neutral ground of Canal street. M. M. L. TARRYTOWN. N. Y. The monthly meeting of the Tarry- town Horticultural Society was held in the regular meeting room April 30, with President Howard Nichols in the chair. Four magnificent specimens of calceolaria in 6-inch pots were exhibited by Mr. At- kins, gardener to Henry Seigle, Mama- roneck, N. Y., who was awarded a cul- tural certificate for the same exhibit. Mr. Atkinson was also awarded a cultural certificate for two plants of pelargoni- ums. Eobert Allen, gardener to E. C. Benedict, Greenwich Court, was awarded a cultural certificate for a cluster of the Princess of Wales tomato, there being twenty-three large fruits on the cluster. The monthly prize for two foliage plants was awarded to D. McFarlane for Dra- caena Lord Wolseley and Croton Lady Zetland. Henry Seigle offers a silver cup for the best table of ferns and flowering plants at the fall show. The society voted to donate $25 toward the fund for the proposed new hospital, and to make a charge of 25 cents admis- sion to the June show, the proceeds to be turned over to the hospital fund. The society voted also to lay out and decorate the grounds around the new hospital, ex- clusive of the rough grading. D. McFarlane. Salem, Va. — Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Simpson have a baby daughter.

MILWAUKEE. The Market Business for the month of April was considerably aliead of last year for the same period. Usually at this time of the year there is an abundance of stock, but on account of the continued cold weather the supply kept shortening up right along and good prices were realized on all varieties, Koses are beginning to come in more freely now, but heavy fu- neral work keeps them pretty well cleaned up. Various Notes. There have been a few changes among the retailers in the downtown district. William Ziinmerman moved one block, and now occupies a large store at Fifth street and Grand avenue. Peter Kap- salis is occupying a store on' Wisconsin street. He had a new front put in and the interior remodeled and now has one of the best located retail stores in the downtown district. James Chacona has also branched out and now occupies quarters in the Plankinton block. Mrs. F. Ennis has also moved into a new store on the corner of Second street and Grand avenue, where a large show win- dow gives her plenty of space for mak- ing a large display. Mrs. Ennis ex- pects to do a good business in her new quarters. Considerable space was given in one of the local papers last month to out- door gardening, and prizes are to be of- fered for the best arranged and most effective yard. Alex. Klockner, of the Milwaukee Florists' Club, was selected ;is one of the judges. Incog. WICHITA, KAN. S. Kuechenmeister, who owns green- houses west of Biverside park, reports that the hail on the evening of Satur- day, April 27, destroyed over 3,000 square feet of glass for him and that it was with great difficulty he prevented his plants from being frozen Monday night. Mr. Kuechenmeister uses gas in his boilers, and by keeping the furnace going was able to prevent much dam- age. He was insured in the Florists' Hail Association. The greenhouse of Charles P. Mueller, 1819 East Ninth street, was also dam- aged by the hail storm. BooxviLLE, Ind. — Mrs. Joe Hudspeth says the continued cold weather through April has ruined fruit prospects here, and retarded gardens and flowers. The coal man is the most popular man now. The ice man is not in it.

TVIN QTIES. The Market The bad weather the latter part of last week put a damper on what prom- ised to be a good business. Snow and rain kept the buyers at home and also prevented any planting of shrubbery and trees, which had been going on quite actively. Cut flower business, with the exception of funeral work, has been quiet. Consequently considerable stock has accumulated, which has had a tend- ency to lower the market, and some nice stock, especially in roses, has been closed out at low prices. Carnations are hold- ing their own. Nearly all are doing something in the nursery line. There appears to be an unusually heavy de- mand for ornamental stock. A heavy increase in the quantity of bedding stock grown is noticeable, and the stock appears to be farther advanced and will undoubtedly be in better con- dition when needed. Already numerous orders for plants have been booked. The city appropriation in St. Paul for the decoration of graves on Decoration day has been cut to a very small figure, which means that the citizens individu- ally will be compelled to spend more. StPauL Holm & Olson report a good cut flower business and a heavy demand for orna- mental trees and shrubs. L. L, May & Co. report funeral work good. The retail seed business is on in full blast, which keeps their retail de- partment crowded almost every day. They have made some heavy shipments 6f nufse^^•" stock, the largest single order amounting to $3,000. Mr. May has pur- chased a new Packard automobile and with it can go to the Mayfield Nurseries in fifty minutes. A. W. Lemke, successor to Colberg & Lemke, reports business quite satisfac- tory, ^liss Benson, formerly employed by him, is now with Holm & Olson. E. F. Lemke continues to keep up an attracti\-e display of flowering plants; the sale has been slow on them as yet. STOP! LOOK ! ! LISTEN I ! I That Is what the railroad crosslns ■Igrnboard says. WE SAY STOP putting your boilers in a pit, for with a Morehead Steam Trap it is not neces- sary, as it will return the water to the boilers whether located above or below coils. LOOK and you can see the Morehead operate, as all the moving parts are on the outside— no interior floats or buckets to collapse or stick.

There was a decided lull in business last week. Eoses are about equal to the demand. Carnations are ar- riving in fairly large shipments, the quality is good and the price ranges from 2 cents to 3 cents. Sweet peas are arriving in large quantities, but hardly enough to equal the demand. They bring from 50 cents to 75 cents per hun- dred. Ferns are of a better grade and in larger supply than for some time. The supply of sphagnum has about given out in Detroit, bringing the price per bale up to $2. Various Notes. The Detroit Cut Flower Supply House is handling some fine sweet peas. On the night of May 2 about 200 ice wagon drivers went on a strike for a raise in wages from $17.50 per week to $19.50. The dealers offered them a raise of $1 per week during the summer months. This they refused, also refusing to arbi- trate the question. Friday the dealers called for a general lockout of about 500 drivers. No ice is being delivered, but consumers sending to the ice-houses for ice have not been molested by the strikers. An early adjustment of the trouble is expected. Norman Sullivan went to Toledo ^lay 3 with the Knights of Columbus bowling team. David Byer has accepted a position with the Wavne hotel for the summer. H.S. Des Moixes, Ia. — May 1 was the oc- casion for a general cleaning up in this city and nearly all florists and dealers in articles used in outdoor work made special prices for the day. Freeport, III. — In John Bauscher's store, on the evening of April 26, while Miss Bauscher was in the act of blacking the hot stove, the plate of blacking ex- ploded and set fire to the floor and coun- ter.

On the morning of May 3 an inch of snow fell here and the mercury stood at 5 degrees below freezing point. It is believed that such a temperature must ha^•e damaged any fruit Avhich had hith- erto escaped unharmed. Our carnation stock Avas planted at the usual time, about April 20, and every plant in the field is killed nearly to the ground. And they were from 3-inch pots and well hardened in a eoldframe be- fore planting out. They seem to be breaking nicely from the base of the stems, however, and we think that they will all come along. Peonies are away behind and will hardly make it by Dec- oration day. Pansy planting by our cus- tomers, which should be well under way, has not begun. The small fruit crop in this locality is practically all ruined. Business has been good and is now ahead of last season. "When the weather reforms we expect to have all that we can possibly handle, as people are get- ting impatient to plant their flower beds and we have a grand stock of bedding stuff ready for them. We expect to begin the building of a house for general stock June 1. The house will be 18x120, of Moninger ma- terial. We have just installed a gaso- line engine for running a rotary pump, with a capacity of a thousand gallons an hour, which, combined with the ele- vated tank pressure, enables us to run three lines of hose at the same time, if needed. Garden truck is as good as could be expected, weather considered. We devote 200 sashes and seventeen acres of land to this and find it profitable. We* ship hundreds of bushels of tomatoes to the north and west during the summer. C. H. Green. PORTLAND, ME. At a largely attended meeting of local florists, April 29, at Mrs. Lizzie Den- nett's, a permanent organization was ])erfected for social purposes. The fol- lowing officers were chosen: President, L.

The regular monthly meeting and flo- ral display of the New Jersey Floricul- tural Society took place May 3, with John White, Jr., of Elizabeth, as essay- ist and "Landscape Gardening" for the topic. Among the exhibitors of orchids were the following: Julius Roehrs Co., of Rutherford, Cattleya Mossia?, C. Mar- tinelli, C. Mendellii and Lselia purpu- rata; Joseph A. Manaa, of West Or- ange, Cypripedium Morgania;, a hybrid of C. Stonei x C. superbiens, and Cat- tleya William Murray, a hybrid of C. Lawreneeana x C. Mendellii, a fine flower never before exhibited in this country, and awarded a first-class certificate* Be- sides the usual array from private es- tates, there were also a number of plates of cut pansy blooms from John White, of Elizabeth, of his own strains; those of purple and white, with radiating pen- ciled lines from the eye, attracted par- ticular attention. J. B. D. PEONY-FLOWERED DAHLIAS. Although the peony-flowered dahlias, which originated in Germany a few years since, are not regarded with much favor by a considerable number of dahlia fan- ciers, they are, by reason of their dis- tinct character and effectiveness, steadily becoming popular with owners of gar- dens who base their estimate of these flowers upon their decorative value. The varieties at present in commerce are somewhat too robust in growth for gar- dens of limited dimensions, and the flow- ers of some lack the refinement character- istic of the show and fancy varieties.

One of these, Nicholas II, has large, pure white blooms, with broad florets, which are more regularly arranged than are those of the flowers of the vari- eties introduced .from Germany. The va- riety is very free in blooming and the horticultural press in England says it is of much interest as indicating the possi- bilities of this new type. jilAY 9, 1907.

If you are an experimentalist, a man who tries this thing today, and another thing tomorrow, then any old construction will do; but if you are in earnest and have your eyes open for the thing that saves you time, money and no end of annoyance— then you will be satisfied with nothing but one of our Iron Frame Houses. You'll have a house that's as good as a fifty years' insurance against repairs, and that will grow more plants and of better quality. That's why we say write— and write today. HITCHINGS AND CO.

E^ ^^ ^a S^ ^a ^^ ^^ Wa A MONEY-MAKING PROPOSITION There isn't one of you but agrees that our galvanized ice clearing eave plate and sash- bar clasp combination is one of the most practical moves ever made toward increasing the life and strength of green- house construction. You know, to your sorrow, that the wooden plate is a short-lived affair — that the method of fastening the bars to the wood- en plate by toeing of the nails, lacks rigidity, besides making a joint that's bound to rot out in a short time, in spite of white lead, paint or whatever you may do. Our ice clearing eave plate is sold (with or without cypress facia) with sashbar clasps attached for any space of glass. It's gal- vanized in our own plant and drilled and fitted ready to fasten up. It may cost more than the wooden plate, but you save in erecting time — are sure of accu- rate spacing of bars — know your house will be tremendously strengthened — that the eave line will be the last, instead of the first thing to go. Send for prices. Find^out what it costs to keep repair costs down. Lord & Burnham Co.

The accompanying illustration is re- produced from a photograph of a rather large design made by A. Londenberg & Son, Valparaiso, Ind. The flowers used are Maids, Brides, sweet peas, a few lilies and some smilax and asparagus. To realize the full significance of the piece it is necessary to see the lettering at the base, which does not show satis- factorily in the illustration. Inscribed there are the words, ' ' The sad hour. ' ' MEMORIAL DAY ADVERTISING. There is certainly a large volume of business done on and for May 30, but 1 believe it can be further increased, es- pecially by the florists in the medium- sized and smaller cities and towns. In the first place, I noticed there were quite a few flowers sent in from people residing at a distance but having rela- tives buried in our cemetery, and the thought occurred to me, Why^ not reach out for some of this trade? I was al- most certain that if those people were informed in time that good, fresh flow- ers could be had of the local florist they would perhaps send their money and orders to him, or to some of their friends and have the flowers purchased here, in- stead of sending them a long distance and having them in poor condition upon their arrival. You will find persons liv- ing at a distance who would be glad to have flowers placed on their loved ones ' graves if they only knew of some way it could be accomplished, not hav- ing any one near whom they would like to ask to do it. Accordingly, I had the following cir- cular printed — and let me say here: Get your printer to get it up in the best of style and print it on first quality paper: We will be In position to flU orders for flow- «r8, especially carnations and roses, perhaps a few lilies; also designs of all kinds, Intrusted to us for May 30, provided we receive the order at least one week In advance. If received much later than that, we cannot guarantee to 'fill them, but will do the best we can. We would especially call the attention of those living out of town, and respectfully solicit your orders; will guarantee to fill them for you and have the flowers placed on any lot In Oakdale cemetery you may wish, Just the same as If you were here in person. I will see to It personally that your wishes are fulfilled, or should you have relatives or par- ticular friends whom you would wish to take the flowers to the cemetery for you, you can have them call for them on the way down, and Inrtruct us whom we shall deliver to. Correspondence solicited. Write for prices. Please remember, prices on (lowers vary ac- cording to the supply, but we will give you full value for all money sent us. The first circulars printed did not give prices, but later ones have always had prices printed on them and I believe it much the better way. These circulars were sent out ten days to two weeks beforehand, to the names gathered up. Some of the names I got from friends, and I found it advisable to get on the good side of the secretary of the cemetery association, from whom you can obtain all the names of non-resi- <]ent lot owners.

It is usually the duty of the undertaker to provide these, and the leading undertakers in the cities no longer think it possible to do satis- factory work without using a load or more of palms and ferns. Where this fashion has not been started, many ways will suggest themselves for putting it in practice. Tlie florist could well afford to donate the use of some plants to families that have been good custom- ers and in this way get other people to call upon him for similar services. The delivery of flowers on telegraph orders is capable of great development. Print a neat card reading something like this : ' * We have correspondents every- where and can deliver flowers in any city at a few hours' notice." Put this in every package you deliver to customers, but of course you cannot put it in those sent to others than the buyers. As time passes the use of these cards will estab- lish a steady and profitable business. NEW FERN DISHES. There is a growing realization among retail florists that a stock of considerable variety in the way of fern dishes, etc., adds to the volume of trade. The old- fashioned fern dish, which comes back time after time to be refilled, is so well known and has been in use so many years rists find it a profitable side line to carry a considerable stock of pottery of many kinds. While there is a great variety possible in the selection of a stock of these aids to the sale of plants, two of the best sellers are illustrated in this issue. Th« brass receptacles are usually more ex- pensive than is pottery, but they are having a good run wherever they are shown. They may be filled with almost any material, due care being exercised that the plant is not so large as to be out of proportion to the size of the re- ceptacle. In the accompanying illustra- tions the same receptacle is shown filled in one case with small plants of Aspara- gus plumosus and in the other with pri- mulas. They have recently been filled with violet plants, making an attractive combination. The brazen ware comes in dozens of shapes and sizes, and may be had in large pieces if one has a trade that makes them useful. Possibly the best selling single item in the line of small earthenware is the un- glazed green jar shown in the other illus- tration. This is made in many sizes and the color is such that it combines attract- ively with anything in the way of small ferns, etc. Larger sizes are used for planting boxwood or evergreens, but they do not go well with flowering plants. The shape shown is the one which sells most largely, but several manufacturers now , • '■' ■ •' ' 0\_''_'^___ ,x Y ^/n^B^^r .^^ ' .^ iRFo-.v^.-^' |H ■ _\ • ^^^*^ ^feif ^^^^^F ^ W^^^LA T .vi I" - ^^^^^^^^^^W ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .T Dull, Green Poltery, for Ferns or Boxwood. (The chick was a special touch for Easter.) that many people are quick to buy some- thing different for the same purpose. All the leading florists' supply bouses offer a considerable range of selection in these articles and many of the pottery manu- facturers are now canvassing the florists ' trade, so large has the sale for these ar- ticles become. Indeed, many retail flo- are making them in a great variety of styles, including the bowls, vases and even pitchers, etc. Every retail florist who has not tried this class of ware should lay in a small stock. There not only will be a profit in selling it, but it will help the sale of plants to a surpris- ing exteht. THE NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. [A paper by S. S. Skldelsky, of Philadelphia read before the New York Florists' Club, Mav 13, 1907.] ^ It was very kind of your Florists' Club, represented by the chairman of its essay committee, Mr. Wallace, to in- vite me to address you on a subject that, it seems to me, is of absorbing interest, not only to the members of our craft, who have the welfare of horticulture at heart, but to every amateur, to every private gardener, to every man and woman throughout the land, whose love for the beautiful and the ornamental in nature can neither be gainsaid nor ignored. The proposed national or international flower show, to be held at Chicago dur- ing the month of November, 1908, will unquestionably prove an epoch-making event in the history of horticulture. And right here the thought occurs to me, that, unless we put forth our best efforts and our utmost energies, bearing in mind that upon the success or failure of this first attempt hinges the future of an industry involving millions of dol- lars; unless we stand shoulder to shoulder and work for the common good of all, each according to his means and might; unless we do this, I say, we shall have no right to enter the ranks of pro- gressive business men. It was nearly two years ago, at Wash- ington, that E. G. Hill, "the sage" of Bichmond, Ind., first broached the sub- ject of a national flower show. His ob- servations on the European continent, where such shows are held annually un- der the auspices of royal and national horticultural societies — as in England and France, for example — led him to believe that an enterprise of this sort, undertaken by the Society of American Florists and given under the auspices of the American sovereigns — the people — could not help but prove a success. And how, I will ask in passing, could it prove otherwise? Objections Answered. As a matter of course, opinions pro and con were freely expressed on all sides. There were those who predicted inevitable failure, basing their predic- tions upon no other reasons than such as presented themselves to their dis- torted, pessimistic imaginations. "Why, indeed, should a national flower show be thought of at all? Why? Haven't we plenty of local shows of all kinds, ' ' they reasoned, "that never pay?" "And who would benefit by this na- tional show, anyway? Men who have something to sell, of course. It is all nonsense, ' ' they concluded, ' ' and * there is nothing to it." There were others, however, who took a broader, a much broader view of the situation, whose mental vision was in no wise circumscribed by petty jealousies or selfish motives of one sort or another, who could see at a glance the great pos- sibilities for the advancement of hor- ticulture, who could realize the inesti- mable opportunities and advantages that would accrue to our interests, who, in brief, took a retrospective view of hor- ticulture, comparing the present with the past and drawing their conclusions as to the future. Kindled by an enthusiasm well worthy of the cause, there was soon formed a small circle of men, who were, so to speak, carried away by the idea, and a subscription list for the necessary premium guarantee fund was started. V May 16, 1007. The Weekly Florists' Review^ J97J Brass Receptacles That Take the Place of the Every-day Sort of Ferneries. Something like $4,000 was subscribed there and then. Thus the idea of a na- tional flower show — the ficst show of the kind ever attempted upon the Amer- ican continent — bids fair to become a successful reality. I shall not attempt to portray to you the grandeur of the show itself or the magnificent hall — the Coliseum — where it is to be held. Such is not the object of this brief paper; nor, indeed, am I equipped to go into any details of the sort. That American enterprise, inspired by the go-ahead spirit characteristic of our people, will triumph despite all obstacles and despite all predictions to the con- trary, is a foregone conclusion with many. Educational Purpose. The national flower show, it may be depended upon, will not only come to pass, but, like any other great work ever attempted by public-spirited men for the benefit of a people at large, it is des- tined to fulfill a mission; it aims to educate our people, to enthuse them, to inspire them with a desire for all that is beautiful in nature, to show them Dy means of an object lesson how things can be done, how the humble garden and the humble cottage of the workingman can be made as attractive in their way as the magnificent grounds surrounding the stately mansion of the millionaire. What the progressive and enterprising florist has attempted and has carried out in a small way in his own town, what public-spirited individuals have accom- plished by way of spreading the idea of horticulture in their own communities, the national flower show aims to do on a large scale. We are all familiar, more> or less, with the history of the National Cash Register Co 's. institution at Day- ton, Ohio. We know that Mr. Patterson, the head of that model institution, has worked long and hard to transform a wilderness into a garden spot. We have been told how rowdyism, that took pleas- ure in wanton destruction of flower beds and lawns, was converted in the end to the gospel of ornamental horticulture, how unsightly cottages in the imme- diate vicinity of that institution were transformed into beautiful little palaces, how tin cans and rubbish heaps of all sorts disappeared, flower beds and shrubbery taking their place. To the moralist, such a transformation bears another lesson, for who will question the benign and wholesome influence of l>eautiful surroundings upon the mind and character of the child, the youth — our future law-maker or law-breaker? He was a wise man indeed, who said, ' ' Tell me your company and I will tell you who you are." To paraphrase this saying, we may put it thus: "Show me your surroundings and I will define your character and social standing in your community. ' ' After all we are but creatures of cir- cumstances. To the one who rises from amid squalid and filthy surroundings and forces his way through into a world of light, there are hundreds who suc- cumb to the darkness and wretchedness of the nether regions. If I remember right, it was the late Benjamin Harrison, who, in a speech at one of the Indianapolis chrysanthemum shows, remarked that "the man who loves flowers was never known to abuse his wife," or something to that effect. G)mmercial Results. But, to return to the subject, stripped of its moral element. Viewed in the light of pure utilitarianism or commer- cialism, a national flower shotv, such as it is intended to hold at Chicago, must as a matter of course bear good fruit. We need but recall the early strug- gles of the florists of a generation or two ago, men still living in our midst — their trials and tribulations long before a society of American florists and or- namental horticulturists sprang up, long before a carnation society made its ap- pearance or a local flower show of any sort was ever thought of, to arrive at the conclusion that the progress we have achieved was due in a large measure, not so much to individual endeavor or to individual enterprise, as to a combi- nation of efforts, having for its aim the benefit of each, individually, and of all as a body. Whatever arguments one may advance in favor of that hackneyed injunction, "Attend to your own business," etc.; whatever success one may point to as the result of strict attention to one 's own affairs, it is a fact beyond dispute that the Society of Atoerican Florists is re- sponsible for most of our achievements in the past and, if I may venture a prophecy, for much more that we are sure to accomplish in the future. 'I will go further and say tha,t the Society of American Florists, as a body composed of earnest, energetic, progressive and in- telligent men, is directly responsible for the success of the very man who ' ' can 't see what good it will do him to join such a society. ' ' What Good? "What good?" Let the history of our society speak for itself. Twenty-five years of energetic work along progres- sive lines has brought about the results, which we see in the greenhouse, at the .i.Au^-.:.«^ .—V -^^^.j.j J- . it/'^ .

Our improved products, the evolution of the button sized carnation, the measly rose and chrysanthemum into perfect specimens of their kind, our improved facilities for marketing our products, our business methods, etc., are all due to organized effort — to the Society of American Florists. "What good?" I need but cite the recent victory scored by our society be- fore the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion— a victory that will compel the United States Express Co. to submit to reasonable rates and, incidentally, will save dollars to the man who ' ' can 't see any good in our society. ' ' Verily, * * in union there is strength, ' ' We all know by experience what it means to give a local flower show; we know how these flower shows, whether financial successes or financial failures, have induced the growers to vie with •each other in their efforts to show their "best products; how these, in turn, have induced the dealers to handle the best at prices remunerative to both the grow- lers and themselves; how, furthermore, the flower buying public has learned to this tremendous advance along progres- sive lines within but a comparatively short space of time? The answer is easily given. The local flower show, often held under adverse and discourag- ing conditions, has brought about this result; it has educated the public; it has brought the grower and the dealer together; it has induced the private gardener and the amateur to advance to the front and to improve upon past achievements. Thanks to these shows, we have ceased to dwell within our own shells, to grope in the dark, as it were, each for himself. We have learned by actual ex- perience the lesson of combination, or ' ' community of interests, " if I may borrow the expression that has origi- nated somewhere on Wall street. Local and National Shows Compared. What has been accomplished, I repeat, by the progressive florist in a small way, in his own town; what the public-spir- ited individuals have brought about in their own communities; what the flor- ists' clubs have achieved by means of giving occasional flower shows, the pro- moters of the national flower show aim Primula in Brass Receptacle. discriminate, to draw the line between a high grade flower and the semblance of one, not marketable at any price. The demand at all times, as we all know, is for high grade stock. To the man or woman, to whom all flowers looked alike but a few years ago, nothing Jjut the best appeals today. Whence this* change, to accomplish for every florist, nursery- man, gardener and amateur, of every city, town and village, in every state in the Union. It is the aim and object of the na- tional flower show to be held at Chi- cago, not only to bring forth the best there is in cultivation, both here and abroad, for the inspection of "society folks," but also to inaugurate a cam- paign of education for the benefit of our people as a whole; to demonstrate, if such a thing be possible, through the public press and by means of circular letters, pamphlets, etc., to the great mass of horny-handed Americans the beauties and wholesome influences of shrubs, flower beds, lawns and trees; in a word, to promote horticulture in all its branches among all the people. The Future of Horticulture. How often do we hear the remarks, that * * horticulture in this country is still in its infancy," that the possibili- ties for its development are practically unlimited, that much as we have ad- vanced during the past decade or two, the, future development of horticulture bids fair to surpass our most sanguine expectations! If this be true, as it un- questionably is, is it not high time that we make some effort to hasten the ap- proach of its development? Is it not within our own power to devise some means and ways in order to bring about the results desired more speedily and within our own time? Why wait until Mrs, Jones' infant daughter, playing upon a rubbish heap in that back yard, may some day, when she grows into womanhood and has a home of her own, prefer a canna bed to a bed of tin cans? Why not show to Mrs, Jones herself the striking contrast between the two — the beauty of the one and the unsightly, ugly features of the other? Is it not within the range of possibility that Mrs. Jones may turn the scales in favor of the flower bed? Aside from the fact that the national flower show is sure to bring dollars and cents into the pockets of the very men who have neither the time nor the patience for "such inno- vations," aside from the fact that a show of this kind is sure to benefit our people at large — for no industry, be it the cultivation of sugar beets or shrub- bery, was ever known to prove other- wise but beneficial to a community — aside from these obvious facts, we must not overlook the educational, esthetic and moral features of such a flower show, a benefit that can neither be over- estimated, nor can it be estimated by the usual standard of dollars and cents. After all, the future of horticulture, like the future strength and stability of our beloved republic, depends, not so much upon the favored few, able to gratify their whims and desires, as upon the great mass of the American people. The future of horticulture hinges not upon what is being or will be done at Jsiewport, along the Hudson or at Lenox, but upon the general improvement in the conditions, environments and educational standards of our people throughout the great American continent. Just as soon as the miner in the Penn- sylvania coal regions, or the laborer in the overcrowded tenements in our cities, or the farmer in the Dakotaa will deem it a necessity to relieve the squalor and the painful monotony of their daily sur- roundings by the introduction of a pot- ted plant, a flower or a shrub into their homes — just as soon as this comes to pass, as come it will, the future of horticulture will be laid on a solid and most enduring foundation. The Need of Concerted Action. And right here I can scarcely refrain from saying a few words — although I am repeating myself — on the need of * I - May 10. 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ J973 A 1907 Field of 250,000 Hairisu Lilies Blooming in Bermuda. organization, on the need of concerted action in behalf of a common cause. That Chicago will have the honor, as nell as the Herculean task, to hold this 6rst national flower show, does not nec- essarily mean, as some perhaps are prone to think, that this is to be a Chicago »^flfai^ Not by any means. While Chi- cago undertakes the work — and a tre- mendous work it is — it will depend on ihe aid and co-operation of the eastern cities and the eastern growers. This is certain. It is likewise certain that in order to make a success of this, our first attempt, there must be no division of forces, no division of interests, no geographical lines drawn. Boston as well as Milwaukee must come to the front and help share the burden of Chi- cago. "Let us ever remember," said the late President McKinley, "that our interest is in concord, not in conflict." Let us remember this, if we wish to see horticulture upon a plane equal to that of any other great industry in our country. LILIES IN BERMUDA. The season for the blooming of lilies was later than usual in Bermuda this year and the usual shipments to New York for Easter were omitted, possibly to the advantage of all concerned. When the plants got into flower they made a magnificent show, as can be seen in the accompanying illustration from a recent photograph of a field which contains 250,000 plants. All the Bermuda grow- ers are practicing better cultural methods than they were, having profited by the experience of those who have not at any time departed from the straight and nar- row path of bulb growing. Those who have done their best are steadily im- proving the quality of their stock and it is now the general practice to destroy all diseased bulbs and weed out the hy- brids. If this is kept up the result will be to put Harrisii back where it once was, before so many diseased and mon- grel bulbs began to come out of the island. The report is that this year, as in recent ones, the crop of large bulbs will not be up to requirements, but there will be a good quantity of the medium sizes. CIVIL SERVICE GARDENERS. At Kochester, N. Y., the foreman of the Highland park greenhouses is under civil service. A vacancy having oc- curred, an examination recently was held to select a man for the job. As indicat- ing the range of horticultural knowledge the commission thinks a capable fore- man should possess the following details of the examination will be of interest: The most important question was that requiring the candidates to write a state- ment of their experience, qualifying them to take charge of a park green- house. This counted for twenty-five per cent of the total. In addition were twenty-five questions, counting three points each, as follows: What are the requirements of a greenhouse foreman in a park system ? State the different methods by which plants are propagated. What is meant by a species of any tree, shrub or plant? What methods are commonly employed for the propagation of ffpecles? State exceptions when more profitable and quicker methods can be used to propagate spe- cies than the sowing of seeds. What is meant by a variety of any tree, shrub or plant? How are varieties usually propagated? State exceptions where varieties can be raised true from seed. Name the different kinds of coniferous ever- greens that can be profitably raised from cut- tings. State briefly the best methods of handling and growing coniferous evergreen cuttings. What method of grafting is commonly used with coniferous evergreens? Name some of the kinds of coniferous ever- greens usually grafted. Name the two horticultural groiips of orchids and describe their habits of growth. State the different general treatments the two sections of orchids require In cultivation. Name six of the most important groups of garden roses. By what methods are roses usually propa- gated? What method is commonly resorted to to propagate hybrid perpetual rowes from cuttings? Name six plaAts that are used in what is know;5 as subtropical bedding. How many horticultural groups of begonias are there? Name them. State how tuberous rooted begonias can be propagated other than by seeds. What are the crown and terminal buds in chrysanthemums ? State which kind of chrysanthemum cuttings make the best plants. How are the foliage plants known as hen and chickens (eeheverlas) propagated? How many tulips will It take, set five inches apart, to plant a bed 1.5x20 feet? How many geraniums will it take to plant a l)ed 20x30 feet, set ten inches' .apart? Three hours were allowed in which to answer the questions. Four candidates, in this instance, felt equal to the ordeal. Two were men who had been employed in the park greenhouses for some time, and two were employees of local florists. WANTS TO DAZZLE. M. Eice & Co., Philadelphia, forward the following unique letter received a few days ago from a well-known florist: In the Review of March 14 you advertised that you had lost several hundred sets of Ombre ribbons. We sincerely trust that by this time you have recovered same, as we might like to reward you with an order if one of the sets were found on our desk some nice, bright, sun- shiny morning, and we were feeling as if we wished to detach ourselves from a portion of the coin of the realm we have extracted from the purses of our customers in return for a few of our dreams in the plant or floral line.

Thanking you in advance for Jhls requert to And us, we are, Yours truly, and then something. WINDOW-BOXES. In spite of the retarded spring, which has made window-box talk sound unsea- sonable, summer will come some time surely, and with it the ever recurring rush for the filling of tubs and window- boxes innumerable. This rush is not con- fined to the placing of orders for these indispensable exterior embellishments of city and country homes and public build- ings, but of necessity there is associated with it also the need ot more or less of a rush to fill these orders, a fact often responsible for poor and indifferent re- sults. The first consideration in the filling of window-boxes should be the procuring of good soil for the plants to grow in all through the summer. The next consider- ation is well established but not over- developed plants, properly selected for the purpose, location, etc., for which the boxes are wanted. For sunny situations, flowering plants are usually asked for, and succeed well when placed there, but it is almost use- less to put geraniums or other flowering plants of the like nature in boxes or tubs to be placed where the sun never strikes. In such places many kinds of foliage plants will do well and, if in addition to shade, or partial shade, there is shelter, there is nothing more effective than palms, especially kentias and phoenix, among which any or all of the different varieties of nephrolepis may be used to advantage. Dracaena indivisa is admirably suited for window-boxes, as well as for tubs, both for its graceful habit and its abil- ity to stand intact, when well cared for, all through the summer and autumn in bright sunshine and in partially shaded situations. Boxes look well w^ien planted entirely with this dracaena, with the ad- dition only of something in the nature of a vine to hang downwards; or when one or more are planted in each box, with the remaining space filled with geraniums or some other equally suitable flowering plants; or with foliage plants, such as aspidistra, which is cast-iron in its hardi- ness. Ivy-leaved geraniums are charming plants for window-boxes and tubs. Sal- vias are bright and stand well. Acubas are hardy and well adapted for shady and exposed situations. Crotons, colored dracaenas and Rex begonias are choice subjects for warm locations on the prem- ises of high class buyers. Cannas and hydrangeas are used extensively for bold effects when the ornamentation is under- taken on an extensive scale. Rubber plants are effective in boxes when a large number may be allowed. Lobelia gracilis may be planted along the edges. It is questionable if for the general run of window-boxes anvthing in effect- iveness beats the variegated yinca for a trailing vine. English ivy is also very good for the same purpose, but it is not so showy nor is it as a rule so satisfac- tory in the matter of growth. Nasturtiums are well adapted for fill- ing in the edges of window-boxes and around the edges of tubs, and especially useful when the question of expense arises in the mind of the buyer. Among the many other kinds of plants suitable for this work are marguerites, eoleus, petu- nias, fuchsias, centaureas, tuberous and fibrous-rooted begonias, ageratum, alys- sum, achyranthes, Latania Borbonica, anthericum, Grevillea robusta, cupheas, araucarias and German ivy. Bright and effective window-boxes are sometimes seen, the flowering plants of which they are composed are of mixed colors, but boxes filled with plants of one color are as a rule more pleasing and they give, besides, the impression of pro- fessional workmanship. The boxes, as receptacles, need not by any means be costly or of superior work- manship. For all practical purposes, plain board boxes painted any desired color, green always preferable, are just as good as those costing five times as much money. Important as the work of filling the boxes undoubtedly is, that of properly attending to the plants after the boxes are filled is of still more importance, be- cause their remaining for any length of time a source of pleasure depends upon the care with which they are watere«l from the time they are filled. D. M. PROPAGATING. Tho plants intended for 6-inch pots sliouW be propagated from now on to June 1, nnd many commercial growers also do not root their main crop before this date. It is harder to root plants from now on than it has been earlier in the season, because with increased sun- light, a higher temperature and drying winds the cuttings wilt so quickly. If a grower has a propagating house with a northern aspect, he can get along all right by watching his stock, but the man who has to propagate in a house where stock is growing is at great disadvantage. The warm, dry air is every uit as bad as direct sunlight for sapping the vital- ity of the cuttings. If a corner can be shut off from the rest of the house by using a burlap screen, it will cut out the direct draught from the bed, and by frequent spraying the cuttings can be kept fresh till they are rooted and able to take care of thenaselves. I have had good success at this time of the year by propagating in a frame behind a north wall, where the sun could never strike. In such a place, by shading the glass and keeping the sash almost closed during the day, one can root prac- tically 100 per cent without much trouble. The cuttings intended for the 6-inch pot plants should be watched and potted just as soon as the roots are half an inch long. If you can get some leaf soil, make the soil for the first potting nice and light by its use, putting in one-third of leaf soil to two-thirds of soil. . After potting, stand the plants in a frame outside and give them every care {lossible, so that they will make stocky plants. A drawn-up cutting is useless for this work if one figures on exhibiting the plants in the fall. Other things being equal, lue dwarf plant will gain the prize over A longer one. The ideal plant is not over twelve to eighteen inches from the top of the pot to the flower, so it can easily be seen that a cutting neglected has not much chance to make good. Another important thing is the selec- tion of dwarf varieties. I would suggest among others the following varieties: White — Beatrice Maj', Merza, Nellie Pock- ett. May Seddon and Mrs. A. T. Miller. Pink — Lady Hopetoun, Valerie Green - ham, W. Duckham, M. F. Plant and Mir- iam Hankey. Yellow — Cheltoni, Mrs. W. Duckham, Old Gold, A. T. Stevens and Col. Appleton. Bronze — Mrs. A. J. Mil- ler, Mrs. G. Heaume, Mary Ann Pockett and D. McLeod. Red — Merstham Red, Merstham Crimson and Mrs. A. H. Lee. From these kinds a fine selection for twelve varieties could be obtained, and they are all large in size and of splendid habit. C. H. Tottv. IN A CARNATION HOUSE. I have built a carnation house this spring, 12x24 feet, and I wish to grow a limited quantity of chrysanthemums. Should I plant them in the benches and grow single-stemmed plants, or would it be better to plant them in pots, or plant them in the open ground and lift them in September? The varieties are A. J. Balfour, Wm. Duckham, Alice Byron, Mrs. Robinson, Black Douglas, Wm. Mat IC 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1975 :^iiiipson, Uncle Sam, Good Gracious, in ihree colors, pink, white and yellow; Philadelphia, and Midwinter, a late va- 'iety from John Lewis Child's catalogue. My greenhouse this fall will be kept at :\ temperature of 54 degrees, and planted to carnations. Please explain clearly how to grow the mums I have named. F. C. P. Answering F. C. P., I would say that if he proposes to grow only a small number of plants, why not fill the benches with carnations and grow the mums in jiots? They can then be flowered along the paths or in any corner and the re- turns from the house could be increased l)y just that much. He could, of course, ]ilant them out in the garden and lift Ihem early in September. Handled in this manner, they are not so liable to be neglected in the hot summer — if we are to get any this year — and will produce a good enough grade of flowers for fu- neral work. The culture in such 9, case consists merely of pinching back the main shoots until about the first week in July and then letting the plants produce buds when they are ready in September. Water the plants and syringe them vigor- ously once in a while, putting in a stake or two to prevent the plants from get- ting broken. To grow them in pots means more work watering; otherwise it is not much different. To explain in de- tail how to grow mums would take up lots of time and space, but if F. C. P. will watch the notes appearing from week to week in this column and will use his own common sense in applying them to his own individual case, he will not find any very great difficulties in his path. C. H. T. FOR TWO HOUSES. I have two carnation houses, each 25x 50 feet. I intend growing Winsor, Fian- cee, Robert Craig, Mrs. Patten, Eoose- velt, Enchantress, Eose-pink Enchantress, White Perfection, Lieutenant Peary and Dorothy Whitney. Will you kindly in- form me which varieties I should grow in each house, and the temperature of the houses? Also I intend to plant right in the benches, as my stock is in 3-ineh Jiots. When would you advise planting, and will you please inform what soil you consider best for carnations? A. N. B. In dividing the varieties for planting ill the two houses you will have to take into consideration the quantity you wish to plant of each, as well as the temper- ature required by each variety. If you were to gr. *.MrJ^ aV.-jw.1. l.--..*^.! w^^.^jL:\A.fti-^/A . tn. 'A.tfM2v. £^k ---^^ ' "7ng---^-i ."\J,"Jjf W d ..

This should be done while the sun is shining and the atmosphere of the house is dry. Care should be taken not to get the house too hot, or the foliage may suffer. The most effective and easily applied of all the mildew remedies, although rather expensive, is Campbell's sulphur vaporizer. With this appliance, if ordi- nary care is exercised in its manipulation, mildew can most surely be kept in sub- jection. Young stock now will require careful watching so that they may never be al- lowed to dry out, especially in stock where the pots are well filled with roots. In stock houses, after some of ■ the plants have been removed, it is well to keep the sand or ashes upon which they have been standing just as wet as for- merly, in order to keep the atmosphere up to the proper point of humidity. These jnatters may appear small and of little importance, but there is nothing in rose growing too minute to be worthy of notice and recording. The attention given these seemingly trivial matters is frequently what constitutes the difference between a success and a failure. Every grower should keep a journal in which to note his observations and keep a record of his work, and while record- ing his successes he should also be care- ful to note his failures and, if possible, the causes. By keeping these failures and the causes vividly before his mind he will be the more apt to avoid them in future. It is by studying the causes which lead to failure that we ultimately attain success. Kibes. BEST THREE NEW ROSES. W. S. Nickerson, of Cambridge, Mass., who is a great rose enthusiast and a member of the American Rose Society, as well as the National Rose Society of England, offered, through the latter so- ciety, three prizes which have created an unusual amount of interest among the English growers. His prizes were as fol- lows: 1. To the raiser of the best hybrid perpetual rose introduced since 1900, £5. 2. To the raiser of the best hybrid tea rose introduced since 1900, £5. 3. To the raiser of the best tea rose introduced since 1900, £5. The National Rose Society selected sixty judges, men both in professional and amateur ranks, who had to decide on these prizes. The result was that prize No. 1 was forwarded to the raiser of Frau Karl Druschki, which received fifty-four out of a total of fifty-five votes. Prize No. 2 went to the raiser of Dean Hole, and prize No. 3 to the raiser of Mme. Jules Cravereaux. Such a decision should set- tle for some time the relative standing of the newer roses in Europe and should be received with interest by American rosarians. W. N.

Pyrethrums are valuable florists' flow- ers, and, being of easy culture, should be more largely grown. The single forms of P. roseum give a fine variety of colors, including pure white, vivid scarlet, pale flesh, rosy pink and rosy carmine. Propagation is from seed, or divisions of the plants. Seed should be sown in early spring, but it is not yet too late to secure strong plants to bloom in June, 1908. Sow in a frame which is well shaded and prick off when large enough to handle. The plants can be set out during the month of September, where it is intended to flower them. If division of the clumps is decided upon, the work is better done not later than August. This insures the plants becoming well established before winter. A light scattering of straw or leaves is all the winter protection needed. Given an early season and a good many single pyrethrums are available for cutting at Memorial day, but during .Tune they are especially useful. Having long, stiff stems, they are excellent for mixed bouquets and a vase of one de- cided color is decidedly effective. The double varieties of P. roseum are popular and succeed well in Europe, but are more uncertain here. They import badly, a large proportion being usually dead on arrival. They are propagated by divi- sion of the clumps and are fully as hardy as the single ones. The double white and pink are useful in funeral work, tak- ing the place of asters. Pyrethrums need wellj drained ground or the clumps will rot. The well-known, tall-growing P. uliginosum is fine for massing on lawns and in shrubberies and is splendid for cutting. It blooms late, usually not before the middle of August. Flowers are pure white, with yellow cen- ters. The plant grows four to six feet in height* and is a notable object when in flower. It is propagated by division of the roots and increases rapidly in size. Perennial Phlox. Perhaps the most useful of all flow- ering herbaceous perennials is the phlox. No commercial grower can well afford to be without a row of phloxes. Their cul- tivation is simple and their propagation of the easiest. Soft wood cuttings root readily and may still be placed in sand and make oice little plants before fall. Treat the same as you would chrysanthe- mums or carnations and few will fail. During a damp, cloudy spell they can be placed directly outdoors from the propa- gating bed. Phloxes are easily raised from seed and the clumps may be chopped in pieces with a sharp spade. Young plants, however, give the finest heads of bloom. By making a judicious selection of varieties a continuity of bloom may be had from early June until freezing weather. Some varieties of P. suffruticosa are valuable and flower earlier than the vari- ous forms of P. decussata (paniculata). The best of this class is Miss Lingard, almost pure white, with a faint pink eye. Other good varieties are: Nettie Stuart, white shaded pink; White Swan, pure white, and Rosy Gem, clear rose. A few specially good forms of P. decussata are : Independence, Le Cygne, Albatre, Jeanne D'Arc, all pure white; Le Soleil, rose; Coquelicot, orange scarlet; General Chanzy, scarlet pink; R. P. Struthers, salmon pink; L'Esperance, lavender pink ; Mme. P. Langier, geranium red ; Lumineaux, rose tinted carmine; Richard Wallace, white, rose center; Eclaireur, crimson; Boule de Feu, cherry red, and LejMahdi, violet blue. There are many other good ones. Perennial phloxes last very well as cut flowers. They should be cut early iu the morning and placed for a few hours in cold water in a cool chamber before being placed in a warm room. The white and pink sorts come in useful in summer for making up design work. The early dwarf phloxes are splendid for early spring bedding, also being at home in the alpine or rock garden. P. divaricata makes a pretty pot plant. Incarvillea Delavayi. Few perennials have jumped into such instantaneous popularity as Incarvillea Delavayi. The flowers, which are glox- inia-like in form, are carried in erect clusters, being large, trumpet-shaped, of rosy-pink color, and last remarkably well. Incarvillea Delavayi is not reliably hardy. In well drained locations near the sea, and on sandy soils inland, it win- ters with a mulcliing of sea weed or leaves. It is sater, however, to lift th^ roots in November and store them like dahlias, in dry soil, and plant out again in the spring. For mass effects, or even for individual plantings in mixed bor- ders, this is one of the most beautiful perennials introduced for many years. Like some other plants from northern China, it is less reliably hardy than phloxes, peonies and some other peren- nials. Funkias* The funkias, or plantain lilies, are de- sirable hardy perennials and perfectly hardy. F. subcordata grandiflora, com- monly called the giant day lily, witli broad, pale-green leaves and handsome spikes of pure white, fragrant flowers, is a beautiful subject for the edges of shrubberies, preferring a little shade. We have used the flowers in design work to good advantage, F. ovata has handsome, glossy foliage and large spikes of trum- pet-shaped, lilac-colored flowers. F. lan- cifolia, flowering in August, has deep green, lanceolate leaves and pale-lilac flowers. F. undulata media variegata, with green leaves, margined and edged with white, is fine for borders and edg- ings and, being thoroughly hardy, should be especially valuable commercially. All the funkias are easily increased by di- viding, which can be done either in Sep- tember or April. Anemone Japonica. The Japanese anemones are the most charming and useful of all late-blooming perennials. Their flowering period is from the end of August until cut down by frost. While perfectly hardy in many places, in well-drained land when well mulched, there are other locations where Mav 16, 1007. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ J977 The Horticultural Establishment of a Prairie Factory Site. it is advisable to lift the roots and store them thickly, either on a cellar floor or in a coldframe covered with earth, plant- ing them out as soon as the ground can be worked. " Propagation is extremely simple. Pieces of roots cut from one- fourth to half an inch long, laid on a sand bed and covered, will speedily start to grow and make roots. They should be potted, gradually hardened off and planted outside in April. A good time to propagate is in November or Decem- ber. These young plants will not bloom quite so early as the older clumps, but will give handsome flowers toward the end of September. A few may be planted together in boxes or large pots and placed under glass when sharp frost threatens. Whether for cutting for vase work or for using in designs they are unexcelled in their season. There are many forms of A. Japonica. The ordinary form has rosy-purple flow- ers. The variety alba carries pure white blooms with y^low stamens. A. Queen Charlotte has lovely, rose-colored, semi- double flowers, while A. Whirlwind bears white, semi-double flowers with a whirl of green bracts around the base of the petals. There are many other excellent named forms of these anemones. All at- tain a height of two to three and one- half feet. They have stems sufficiently strong to make staking unnecessajy and merit extended culture by both commer- cial and private growers. Astilbes. The astilbes, or spiraeas, as they are more commonly known, are all of easy culture and of considerable value to flo- rists. As pot plants we do not now pro- pose to discuss them, as they are suffi- ciently known to render this needless. When planting a herbaceous border for anyone it is always well to include some of them, for in addition to making an excellent showing there, they are well adapted for cutting. The old A. Japon- ica has now to a considerable extent been displaced by such forms as A. com- pacta multiflora and the hybrids, hke Gladstone, Washington and Queen of Holland. All these make splendid border plants and rapidly increase in size and value. If given rich land they will, in a couple of years after forcing, make splendid plants for potting again, al- though it may be necessary to chop them in several pieces before doing this. The well-known, robust-growing vari- ety, aruncus, or Aaron's beard, makes a noble individual plant on a lawn and is fine in shrubberies. Its long, feathery panicles are open early in July. A. pal- mata, with rosy-crimson flowers, makes a good border plant and is also well adapted for pot culture when not sub- jected to hard forcing. A. astilboides is well known as a forcer. Outdoors its beautiful, dense plumes of feathery, white flowers are borne in profusion. A. venusta and A. lobata each carry spikes four to five feet in height, of feathery, soft-rose flowers, one of the most beauti- ful shades imaginable. A. Filipendula, with white flowers tinged with rose, and A. Ulmaria fl. pi., the double white form of the Queen of the Meadows, are both excellent herbaceous border varieties. All the astilbes prefer rich and mod- erately damp soil to give the best re- sults. Land where no water will stand in' winter, however, should be chosen. A. Davidii, one of Veitch's introductions from western China, growing five to six feet in height, has not proved hardy in some places, but is well worth a trial if only for its color, which is rather new in this genus, being a deep, rosy-pink color. Brief Reminders. The bedding out season promises to be a late and dragging one. There is little to be gained by planting out tender stock while the weather remains so extremely cold. Geraniums, if well hardened, should be all right to plant out and, of course, Dracaena indivisa, a popular plant for the center of vases, does not mind a little cold. Be careful not to overwater poinsettia cuttings or they will speedily damp off. Get additional batches of cuttings in as fast as they are produced. Those rubbed off with a heel root the quickest. Give the little plants a warm house for some time yet. Do not neglect ficus, cr'i^^ns and other plants. You may be propagating by the mossing method. Be sure to always keep the moss damp and few will ^'ail to root. Stevia serrata must be shifted into flats or larger pots before it becomes too matted. Keep it well pinched and as cool as possible without freezing it. Salvia splendens may still be sown for late use in borders. Successive sowings of asters and stocks can be made. Do not forget a row of Shirley poppies; these fleeting but beautiful annuals are admired by everyone. Do not allow bedding stock to get dry at the roots, and above all things never plant out any with dry balls, or failure will result. Give the little cyclamens more room as they grow and do not allow thrips or aphis to get a foothold among them. Continue to put in chrysanthemum cut- tings. They will still give you good, serviceable flowers. Try to get caught up on your other work so that you can devote more of your energies to bedding out and Memorial day business, but of this more another week. FACTORY SITE IMPROVEMENT. It is becoming the fashion for the large manufacturing concerns to leave the big cities, with their congestion and high costs, for the roomy cleanliness of the open country, where horticulture usually finds a place in their field of operations. If a site is chosen outside a city, a new town quickly springs into being and, following the example set by the company, the people of the town take to gardening as naturally as ducklings take to water. Hence the trade has a direct interest in every such large concern, and every encouragement should be given the management in the matter of beautifying its factory site. The accompanying illustration is re- produced from a photograph showing how the work has been started at the plant of the Bradley Mfg. Co., at Brad- ley, 111., near Kankakee. The planting of trees and shrubs was done bj the Peterson Nursery and the bedding by the company gardener, who is charged with the care and development of the floricultural features. As time goes on not only will the whole town become im- bued with the gardening spirit, to the betterment of the character of the com- munity, but other large manufacturers 7W^r"-i - "Z^^^T* " •"i4'im^~iiP TT ;■.*■'•" y "/jp ^^'T7lw^■»F^7»^■ J978 The Weekly Florists^ Review* / Max 16, 1907. will be led to follow the example set ]>erhaps in the first instance by the cash register people at Dayton. One of the specially good features of the work be- gun at Bradley is that the plant stands beside the tracks of the Illinois Central railroad, and several other lines have their entrance to Chicago over the I. C. tracks from Kankakee to the city, so that millions of the traveling public will be given a demonstration of what can be done to make life worth living. RETAIL PLANT ADVERTISING. In spite of the fact that at this sea- son of the year the rush is about all that any one can take care of, still nearly every grower of bedding plants who sells his stock at home does more or less advertising in the local papers; only the rush makes him slight the prep- aration of his advertisement, and as a consequence he loses half the value he might have had. Advertising has be- come a large factor in our business life and it is worth some thought; thought not only as to the selection of the methods of advertising, but as to the wording and appearance of the adver- tisement. It costs just as much to pub- lish a poorly worded, meaningless ad- vertisement as it does one that is direct, clear, convincing and attractive, and there is all the difference in the world in the results. An advertisement always should be concise. No matter how much space you use, don't put in unnecessary words. Tell the whole story but boil it down. Don't crowd your space. Too few advertisers appreciate the effectiveness of white space in advertising. It is as good as a cut, though the latter shows .the goods, and a picture is the next best thing to a sample. Quote a price; priced adver- tisements always bring the most direct returns, other things being equal. A price sells goods. It doesn't leave the reader in doubt. Put a well-worded priced advertisement in the paper that the people read — the one that carries the most advertising — and it will bring you business, whether your price is high or low. The local retail advertisement repro- duced herewith is one published in Bal- timore newspapers by J. Bolgiano & Sons. It is one of the kind that sells goods. GARDENIAS. We want to grow some gardenias and would like to know what temperature they need and if plants frou; i;'/2-inch pots will bloom this winter. "Wul they do as well in pots or planted i;i the bench? Do they need smoking and will they stand watering overhead when in Mnom? In fact, please tell us all you can about them. A. B. C. A temperature of 60 to 65 degrees at night is necessary, the higher figure being better than the lower one. Plants from •Jlij-inch j.ots will make nne bushes be- ' 'v' winter. They will need pinching several times until the middle of August to keep them bushy. They n.-quire fumi- gation for green aphis, which attacks the young shoots. Scale and me.ily bug, es- pecially the latter, are partial to gar- denias, but can be easily kept in check by using a spray nozzle on the hose twice a week. Syringing overhead while in bloom does not harm the flowers in the least. Plants grown along in pots will give rather earlier flowers, but these will not be of the size or quality of those pro- duced on good benched plants. Some bottom heat is helpful and the plants do not need any shading during summer. If freely syringed, carefully syringed,' the surface soil kept stirred and not al- lowed to become wet and slimy, the plants will make rapid growth.

I have a contract with a party to cover about half an acre of hillside with any kind of vine of rapid growth. If I can get one suitable for the purpose it will have to be one that will droop, or grow downwartl. About twelve to six- teen feet of the lower or 'bottom part of tbe hillside is of a rocky and scaly nature, and above that there is about ©[IDS^KilOirail Oc. Bach, S for 25c. $7.50 Xor 100.

"We are unable to speak enthusiastic- ally of the market at present. Weather has remained unseasonably cold, with much of it damp and dark, but far more material has arrived than was needed. Probably v-armer and brighter weather might stimulate purchases, but the close approach of 'Memorial day will tend to brace up prices, temporarily at least. Boses are in abundant supply and many have to be cleared at quite low figures. Carnations vary from $1 to $3 per hun- (ire'd, a few fancies going higher. A few double violets are still arriving of good quality for. the sea.son. Sweet peas are in heavy supply> but are good selling flowers. The colors are right. Bulbous stock is again overabundant, a lot of outdoor stock being now available in tulips and narcissi. Spanish iris is of good quality and sells fairly well. Gladi- oli are quite abundant. There are the usual quantities of marguerites, antir- rhinums and other flowers. Green stock is of good quality, with little change except in the case of hardy green ferns, which are arriving much better. Visit to General Weld. On invitation of General S. M.

The estate comprises about 1,000 acres, the mansion standing on the crest of the highest elevatfon. The land is naturally rocky and no attempt at formal gardening has been attempted, but tlie rocks and ravines, with streamlets and ponds, have been utilized for an extensive system of alpine and natural gardening, the winding paths dis- closing fresh objects to excite interest and admiration at every turn. Bulbs of many kinds, trilliuras, dwarf phloxes, hepaticas, mertensias, anemones, ranun- culi, myosotis and other suitable plants are now blooming and will be followed by scores of other varieties, many of which are rare and unique. The collec- tion of coniferae and the greenhouses were later inspected. The latter contain roses, carnations, grapes, peaches and miscellaneous stock. The conservatory attached to the mansion was gay with well grown schizanthus, Canterbury bells, azaleas, herbaceous calceolarias and other seasonable flowers, while near by beds were brilliant with tulips, narcissi and hyacinths. General Weld and Thomas Coles, his head gardener, have accomplished splendid results in tlie last few years and still have unbounded scope in which to develop. The party reached Boston on the return trip after a most delightful, interesting and instructive afternoon 's outing. Various Notes. The next meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club will occur at Horti- cultural hall, on the evening of May 21. In lieu of a regular lecture there will be ten-minute talks by three members of the club, on "Bulbs as Bedding Plants," ' ' Herbace-ous Plants for Bedding Pur- poses, ' ' and * ' Tender Bedding Plants. ' ' There will be interesting exhibits of sea- sonable flowers and other attractions. Owing to the unusually cold season, double violets of excellent quality are still arriving in the markets, those from Thomas Pegler, of Wallaston, and South- worth, of West Stoughton, being spe- cially good. Trade m bedding plants is late in starting. Some growers have not brought in a plant yet. It looks at this time as though lilac, Darwin and other late-flow- ering tulips. Narcissus poeticus and out- door valley would all be available for Memorial day trade. As a rule they are on the wane at that date. Interest in the club picnic is begin- ning to show itself. The married men are this year determined to beat the bachelors at baseball. We hear rumors that the commercial growers, remember- ing last year's experience, have secured an option on a steel hawser to assist in pulling the private gardeners over the picnic grounds. A record entry is prom- ised for the fat men's race. Seed merchants report a dragging sea- son, which promises also to be a long one. The unusually cold and danip spring ha.s lessened sales to some cus- tomers, but the aggregate promises to equal last year's, if it does not sur- pass it.

The Rising Eastern Market Immense quantities of flowers are sold daily, but larger quantities are received. This about covers the situation. Business is good for the season, quality generally all that could be desired, where stock has been given intelligent care. Beauties are plentiful, fine, and in fair demand. There is no special demand for Liberty and Richmond. The quality is better than anything ever seen before in this market in May. The second crop of Kaiserin is in full supply. Outdoor valley has made its appearance, depreciating the indoor- grown stock. Sweet peas have fallen off in quality, owing to the dark weather of last week. Two new orchids, Cattleya gigas and Laelia purpurata, have rein- forced Cattleya Mossia) this week. Vio- lets are over. Their seaaon has been a month longer than usual. Some wild vio- lets are seen. Jersey lilac is plentiful but not ?n demand. White carnations still far exceed the colored varieties in numbers. The supply of callas has de- creased. Harrisii lilies are in fair de- mand. The demand for smilax has fallen off ; prices are receding. Snapdragon has never been finer than this spring. It is still of excellent quality, and is in de- mand. Dagger ferns are scarce and sell- ing well. Phil Visits Mr. Leonard's. The visits made by florists to members of their own profession may be divided into two kinds, business and social.

This question of rank is complex. It is often most difficult to determine who should pay the first visit between a given pair of florists, as there is no tribunal to decide points of floral etiquette. Many calls are unfortunately never made. I say unfortunately, because an exchange of ideas is one of the greatest blessings to the hardworking florist. Now it happened at a meeting of the Florists' Club that William A. Leonard met Phil and, after a pleasant chat, cordially invited him to call. Phil, be- ing hazy as to who should call first, re- plied: "With pleasure, and you must come and sec me. " So it stood for some time until the Dickson banquet, when these courtesies were substantially re- peated. Neither would give in on this delicate point. They met again at Wash- ington in March. Mr. Leonard was so cordial that Phil decided to give in, a decision the more easily made because Mr. Leonard had asked to be in- troduced at the aforesaid Florists' Club CINERARIA The Cineraria seed offered by us is the best procurable.

President Pennock called a large gath- ering of Florists' Club members to order May 7. The important committee report was made by Charles D. Ball, who said the finances for the August convention of the national society are in a flourish- ing condition; contributions are coming in at an encouraging rate. The report of William Graham, for the bowling com- mittee, was read by the secretary. It provided for a series of games to be rolled to decide the membership in the team to represent this city in the na- tional tournament. All members desiring to compete should notify Mr. Graham. The resignation of Edwin Lonsdale, sec- retary of the club, was again presented and this time accepted, with sincere re- gret. David Rust was unanimously elected to fill the vacancy. J. Otto Thilow delivered his paper in fine style, receiving hearty applause. Alphonse Pericat, of CoUingdale, ex- hibited a spike of Cattleya gigas San- deriana of great size, its beautiful flow- ers being much admired. Samuel Batchelor, gardener to Clement B. Newbold, Jenkintown, exhibited some fine pelargoniums. Soft Wooded Plants. The oldest gardener has been aston- ished by the weather this month. There was ice Sunday morning. May 12, when everybody tells you geraniums are per- fectly safe outdoors after May 10. The geraniums that were planted out last week look most unhappy now. Despite this bad start, the bedding season is opening in earnest. There are many window-boxes going up in the city and in the suburbs. There are beds to be filled, and porch-boxes are now being filled in the greenhouse. An early Easter and a late spring are most favorable for the class of florists who grow this class of stock, and indications point to an ex- cellent season. Various Notes. William H. Ferguson & Son have bought the building at 1208 Spring Gar- den street, near their present store. They will move their retail florists' business to the new building this summer. William J. Moore joined the forces of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. last Mon- day. Godfrey Aschmann was elected a mem- ber of the Florists' Club at the May meeting. The Textile Manufacturers' convention held in this city Wednesday and Thurs- day was attended by great crowds of del- egates. J. J. Habermehl's Sons had the decorations for an immense banquet Thursday evening at the Bellevue-Strat- ford, at which there were over 800 guests. A feature of this convention was the large use of cotton described in these columns after the Christmas holidays. It is a specialty with W. E. McKissiek and he handled it in quantity. The packing, by the way, of this cotton is remarkably well done. The officers of the Joseph Heacock Co. are: President, Joseph Heacock; vice- president, James W. Heacock; secretary and treasurer.

Thomas Love, of South Bethlehem, Pa., is one of the few veterans in the profes- sion who can boast of a record of thirty- six years ' continuous service in one place. He has just rounded out this length of time on the beautiful estate of G. B. Linderman and has practically planted every tree fJourishing thereon. He looks good for another span of the same length of time. Timothy Hogan, who has charge of the E. P. Wilbur estate, grows annually a grand lot of gloxinias from leaf cut- tings. As decorative plants they are gorgeous, and while not profit.nble to grow commercially, a few are fine for window decoration. William Scott, of Buffalo, has grown a large number each year and sold them at good prices. Ernest Ashler, of Allentown, Pa., has a most unique flower store. The sides are covered with mirrors of various sizes, bordered with birch bark and moss. Kift's flower holders are used to advan- tage. This end of the business is pre- sided over by his clever little side part- ner, who keeps the boys hustling at the greenhouse end to supply the stock nec- essary for a rapidly increasing business. A. B. Ellsworth, of Allentown, reports a busy seed business. The backward sea- son has caused a rush which will soon be over. F. Horn & Bro., of Allentown, have a big stock of bedding plants, a leading line with them. Ira G. Marvin, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., is reported as having purchased a coal breaker for the purpose of supplying the necessary fuel to heat his big plant.

Something unique is the training of the loquacious parrot, it being the special duty of a clever lad, during spare hours, to teach this bird how to talk.

Richard King says he will turn out finer stock than ever in this new range. H. N. Hoffman, of Elmira, is a busy fellow. Ho is on the advisory board of the Cut Flower Co., steward of the fine estate of J. Sloate Fassett, executor of the big Hoffman estate, a live nursery- man, fanner and florist. Frank Durand handles the local outplit of the Cut Flower Co., and finds it very convenient since disposing of the old Eawson plant. He is an artist of note and has had charge of the finest decora- tions seen in this hustling town. A. H. Woeppel, of Corning, N. Y., was very busy at the time of my visit. Con- gratulations are in order; the stork passed over from Hoffman's, where he bad dropped a lusty boy, and left a rosebud with Mr. Woeppel, who says it is the prettiest of the bunch. W. A.

Y., are steadily nearing the city with the big range of glass going up. There is quite a stretch of land not yet covered, but with the demand for stock it looks as though there is not enough to provide for the needs of the future. A big handicap with Supt. Roney is the difficulty in getting compe- tent help. He has hit upon a plan to form a night school for the purpose of studying Latin, as the sons of sunny Italy are being trained for the profession of rose growers and carnationists. It is to be hoped a repetition of the rude shock sustained by a trusted employee of Mr. Renter will not happen here. Evi- dently the gentleman in question was anxious the intended victim should pass away amid the posies. Geo. Heelas, the artistic decorator at Lake View, says he is kept very busy filling orders for the noted brand of plant food introduced by Walter Mott when here. M. I.

FLORISTS GET STATE AID. Illinois to Build Greenhouses. In the closing days of the session the Illinois legislature appropriated $7,500 for the erection of greenhouses for re- search and experimental work at the State Agricultural College, the idea being to devote attention to florists' problems. The favorable outcome was due to more than two years of persistent work on the part of the Illinois State Florists' Asso- ciation, during which it was shown to the legislature that commercial floriculture in Illinois, according to the census of 1900, represents a larger aggregate business than does commercial orcharding, which long has enjoyed state assistance. J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, until recently president of the Illinois State Florists' Association, has worked inde- fatigably for the appropriation and when it finally was granted he was so pleased that he sat down at his desk and penned the following in bright purple ink and mailed it to the Review: Congratulationst Florists I The Illinois State Florists ' Association has at last found an opening and pried its wedge into the legislature for a small appropriation to carry on experimental work. While the appropriation is small, nevertheless it is a beginning, and it now behooves us to make the best of it for all concerned. This is a tie that should bind us closer together. I hope we all realize that our work is just begun. I, for one, feel very much gratified at the work ac- complished so far, and I take this oppor- tunity to thank all those of the trade, and especially the legislators who so kindly assisted in this work. J. F. Ammann. Representative Heinl, a son of Joseph Heinl, the old and well known florist of Jacksonville, is the man who put the ap- propriation through. NATURAL FERTILIZERS. About how long a time must be al- lowed for horse or cow manure to reach that state often referred to in these columns as "half rotted" and "well rotted"? Can poultry and pigeon ma- nure be used in the greenhousef How may it be applied, and in what quantity? £. C. S. We find that cow manure that is brought to us in the winter will be right for use next fall and winter. By turn- ing it a few times it can be worked into condition somewhat quicker. Mixing in an equal bulk of soil also will help. Horse manure requires about the same time; in fact, it can be used as soon as the heat is out of it. Poultry manure is excellent for feeding if used cautiously, ^iix it with three times its bulk of soil and let it decompose, turning it occasion- ally to prevent heating, and next winter , use it as you would sheep manure. A.B. DUTY ON ROSE CUTTINGS. A report from Buffalo, dated May 10, says: "Judge Hazel yesterday afternoon handed down an opinion in a case sought by the government against the American Express Co. on an appeal from a deci- sion of the customs board of general ap- praisers. The opinion sustains the action taken by the government officials in charging twenty-five per cent duty on rose cuttings imported into this country from Canada. "The rose cuttings were brought here by the American Express Co., represent- atives of which held that they were not dutiable. The matter was brought be- fore Judge Hazel by United States Dis- trict Attorney Bass and his assistant, Donald Bain, and after hearing the argu- ments the court ruled that rose cuttings came under the title of greenhouse and The Kdltor Is pleased when a Reader presents his Ideas on any subject treated In y^nr As experience Is the be^t teacher, so do "wb learn fastest by an ezchanee of experiences.

WE SHALL, BK GLAD TO HCAR rROM TOU. nursery stock and were therefore dutiable under the customs law. The express com- pany did not appear to put in an argu- ment." This is presumed to be the case involv- ing an importation for Heller Bros., of the South Park Floral Co., New Castle, Ind., a couple of years ago. If so it upholds the contention of the importer and affirms the decision of the board of general appraisers at the time: that the stock was dutiable at twenty-five per cent of its value, the local appraiser having assessed duty under another paragraph of the law at 2^4 cents each. The treas- ury department appealed. BOXVOOD AND CAMELLIAS. I have a lot of large boxwood about four feet high which I would like to move and put some of them in tubs. Would you kindly inform me the best time to take them up, and would it be safe to do so? I have also four or five large eamelliaa four or five feet high. They have been blooming four years. Would it be safe to move them? When would be the best time? R. S. W. An excellent time to move evergreens is just when new growth is commencing in spring. Probably by this time the new shoots will have started, but ever- greens can be safely transplanted almost any time during the summer if lifted with good balls and transplanted with care. The roots should not be exposed any more than possible and it would be well to dampen before filling in much loam. A thorough soaking of water when the plants are moved, a syringe over- head several times on bright days and a mulching over the roots of the camellias if they are planted in the open should insure success. If from any reason the planting is deferred it would be best to wait until August before doing it. Cloudy and showery weather is ideal fof this work. Do not attempt it if there is a strong drying wind. It might be advisable to give the boxwood a shady location, such as would be afforded by some overhanging tree, for a few weeks. C. W.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. Pres., Henry W. Wood, Richmond, Va.; First 'Vlce-Pres., Charles Burge, Toledo, O.; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 26th annual meeting will be held at New York City, June, 1907 It is hot in the Santa Clara valley. Plant imports are being delayed by the stevedores' strike in New York. The prospects are that radish will agaan be one of the scarce items next season. The return of spring brought a rush of counter trade, but mail order business is practically over. Weather conditions continue to make the retail seed business erratic in all sec- tions of the country. Spring has not yet come in the Michi- gan pea and bean districts. Seeding oper- ations everywhere are late. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has issued a bulletin on the corn leaf- aphis and corn root-aphis which will in- terest seedsmen and especially growers of seed corn. The calls for seed for replanting opera- tions have not been up to anticipations and the general opinion is that the loss of early plantings was not so heavy as at first reported. The Chicago growers of onion sets are feeling a little more cheerful. They have got out a fair acreage and the stand on the early planted fields is better than was anticipated. Adolf Kruhm, formerly with W. Atlee Burpee & Co., is now with F. Barteldes & Co., Lawrence, Kan., and will have charge of their retail trade and catalogue business. D. LiANDRETH Seed Co., Bristol, Pa., re- ports that its crop of Seven-top turnip, now in bloom, has been injured so seri- ously by cold weather that the prospects for seeds have been reduced to almost nothing. The temperate climate as well as the good, irrigated soil of the southeastern district of France, the Provence, quite properly called the garden of France, places that country in a favorable posi- tion to produce, with a real success, nearly all sorts of seeds, and the indus- try there is steadily on the increase. Knud Gundestrup, Chicago, will sail from New York June 8, for a trip to Europe, and will return about the middle of August. He will be accompanied by his family. They will stop first in Eng- land, and, after a short stay there, will go to Denmark, where Mr. Gundestrup will leave his family while he visits seed growers in France. After making a tour of Germany together, they will embark from a German port for their return voyage. Mr. Gundestrup expects to bring with him, when he returns, a seed-testing machine which he believes to be superior to any machine now used for that pur- pose in America.

The last week in April he had fifty-eight men employed and paid out $445 for help. He employs only men and boys — even his stenographers are men.

No trade visitor to Holland can pos- sibly fail to notice the enormous extent to which the culture of bulbs has ex- tended during the last few years. Not only have fresh fields been added to old grounds, but huge areas of some hun- Stokes Standard $eeds Write xne for advance prices on Frencb and Dutob Bulbs. $tokes $eed $tore 219 Market St, Philadelphia. Pa. Mention The Review when yon write. dreds of acres have been transformed from woods to level fields intersected by canals and planted with bulbs. We speak now of the development in well-known districts, but there are hundreds of acres in other parts, where formerly it was considered impossible to cultivate bulbs, which are now carrying good crops of tulips, narcissi, etc., and we are credibly informed that the amount of land under bulb culture is five .times more than it was ten years ago. During the last year or two the demand for many bulbs, especially tulips, has been marvelous, for in addition to the export trade large stocks have been re- quired to plant up all the new land which has been developed, and thus the grower has been in clover, while the ex- porter has had to supply bulbs at prices, fixed in his catalogue, which, when he had to purchase supplementary stocks, left him with no margin of profit, or with an actual loss. However brilliant this business may have been, our Hol- land friends have a wide open eye to the future, and the growers begin to ask themselves -how will things be when the home demand drops off? They also realize that at any rate in England the demand for hyacinths for forcing in pots is not a growing, but rather a diminish- ing one, while year by year amateurs demand bulbs at lower prices for this culture. Tt was possibly with those thoughts in mind, says a writer in the Horticul- tural Advertiser, that the Society of Dutch Bulb Growers gave this year at Sassenheim the first annual exhibition outdoors, the idea being to demonstrate the value of these buft»* for bedding purposes, and the manner in which they should be planted to obtain the best effect. The main point to be noted was the way iu which the bulbs were planted, which is, roughly speaking, about twice as thickly as one is accustomed to see them. In the case of hyacinths, young bulbs are used, and they nearly touched each other, while the blooms completely covered the beds, producing a grand effect. Some idea of the planting may be gained from the fact that circular beds ten feet in diameter contain 500 bulbs of hyacinths or 900 tulips, while the largest bed, which has a diameter of thirty-three feet, contained 10,000 hyacinths. Tulips were planted in similar fashion, and also daffodils, one of the finest beds in the show being a crescent-shaped bed of Bicolor Victoria, which was worth a journey to see. The arrangement of colors in the beds was very pleasing. One bed of Roi des Beiges, with a border of King of the Yellows, was especially effective; other good beds were Rose Jl Merveille, a good blush hyacinth ; Prince de Ligne, a very early yellow tulip. La Eemarquable and Red Pottebakker tulips. With these exceptions, the bulk of the bulbs were old and well-known varieties. SEED TRADE STATISTICS. Frederic J.

Now there are 150 large seed firms in America, each han- •dling hundreds of thousands of pounds annually. In many instances they have specialized, and handle only one kind of seed. Twenty-five of these firms deal only in peas and beans, eight in cab- bages, eight in tomatoes, lettuce, cucum- bers, onions, melons and beets. The money these firms pay into the Santa Clara Valley of California amounts to more than $1,500,000 yearly. This valley produces a little more than 2,000,000 pounds of seed per annum, and from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 pounds are sold yearly in the United States. Central Michigan and western New York produce almost all the bean seed used in this country. One locality in Michigan produces 75,000 bushels yearly. Potatoes and corn are sold so extensively that no estimate can be made of the amount produced each year. Two mil- lion pounds of turnip seed go into Amer- ican soil every season, but most of it is imported from England. One million pounds of radishes are planted here, one- tenth of which is raised in California, some in Michigan and the rest in Eu- rope. Of the million pounds of seed onions which the annual crop demands, California yields 700,000 pounds. More than half the million pounds of cabbage seed used in our crops is grown in our own soil.

Trials in many places appear to show that under good cultivation it possesses vigorous growth, large size of root, freedom from fibers and prongs, extra keen and pungent fla- vor, earliness and clean, white skin. It gives better roots with less trouble, not being inclined to waste its energies in useless blooms and heavy foliage. Prac- tical growers who have tried it say that its early maturity and whiteness of skin are qualities particularly valuable to pickle packers, as it is ready for use in October of the year planted, while the common kind does not really mature until the following spring. Immature horseradish has a rank, unpleasant and at times bitter taste, moderate pungency and the grated root soon darkens and loses strength. A writer in the Rural New Yorker says his experience is that the Maliner variety, dug any time after the foliage dies down, grates white and clean, with but little loss, on account of the thin, smooth skin, and keeps its color and sharpness many weeks, without any preservative, if mixed with good vinegar and kept covered in the usual way. One large grower says it yielded last year one-third more than the ordinary sort, many roots weighing two and a half pounds each, and realized 7 cents the pound in the wholesale markets. Good common horseradish sells at wholesale for prices varying from 3 cents to 5 cents a pound. The Maliner Kren horseradish takes its name from a village in Bohemia, where the variety probably originated or at least has been cultivated from time immemorial.

Some of it even finds its way to this country, where it sells at fancy prices. Long continued selection has probably developed the special qualities for which this variety is prized, and un- der careless culture it will likely degen- erate. Plants are still scarce in this country, but are listed by at least one seedsman. NEWPORT, R. L The Planting Season. Preparations are now under full head- way for the summer, and florists and jirivate gardeners are alike very busy ; more so because of the unusuaJly cold weather of April and the first week in May. In fact, the weather is still cool enough to prevent the planting outdoors of many things that in ordinary seasons would at this time have a good start made in the ground. Careful observation of planting opera- tions in this and other sections of the Island warrant the opinion that, notwith- standing the great run on evergreens dur- ing the last few years, the planting of deciduous trees is on the increase, with Norway maples in the lead. English lindens are scarce, in consequence of an unprecedented >demand last fall, espe- ciaJly for the larger size trees. The demand for herbaceous plants, so called, is more pronounced than ever, with evidences of a general knowledge of what is wanted cropping up when customers order fewer varieties and a greater number of plants of those of un- doubted merit from a viewpoint of prac- tical utility. A few years ago surpris- ingly few peonies were seen in the gar- dens of Newport, considering how com- paratively ancient a great many of these gardens are. Within a year v~.r two quite a large number of the beautiful things have been planted here, for the gratifica- tion principally of those cottage owners who come in time to see them at their best, and also for the pleasure of those who pop in once in a while on flying vis- its before they come for the season. By the way, the lateness of the opening of the Newport season has been mainly re- sponsible for the neglect of many mer- itorious plants by the craft here. Arbor Day. Arbor day wa.s observed in the public schools by literary exercises and in a still more appropriate manner by the planting of numerous trees in various parts of the city and in the laying out and allotment of school gardens. These gardens will be of much more than usual interest to both teachers and pupils this year, by reason of the liberal cash pre- miums offered by the Horticultural So- ciety for those that will in the opinion of competent judges be justly entitled to awards as a result of the painstaking industry of the little gardeners. The superintendent of schools was this week the recipient of a huge bundle of sched- ules of premiums to be awarded at the June exhibition of the Horticultural So- ciety. It is supposed the purpose for which the secretary of the society in- tended these was to inform the pupils of the school garden prizes, as well as the fact that numerous prizes will^be awarded to the children for cut flowers »— > EatabUsbad 1802 — — COLD STORAGE Lily of the Valley Pips Best possible grade in cases of 1000 and 3000 pips each, at $12.00 per 1000.

Not a bad idea, but had a forecast of it come to the attention of the committee getting up the schedule, a few features pecu- liarly interesting to botany students would no doubt have been added. Various Notes. Many principals or representatives of the florist firms doing a summer business on the avenue were here recently, making final preparations for resuming business for the season, among them Mr. Spaulding, of the J. M. Hodgson Co. Richard Mer- rit is no longer connected in a business way with that corporation, although the family relations existing between him and the other members of the firm will doubtless serve to continue a measure of mutual interest. Thore is some curiosity, if not a little anxiety, aroused by the introduction into the city council of a measure having for its object the taxing of concerns that do business here for the summer and remove to New York and other cities in the winter. Although there are engaged in this practice firms doing business of vari- ous kinds, still florists are numerous and out of proportion to other lines. Opinion is somewhat divided as to the feasibility of the proposed ordinance, not to men- tion the more vital point of the general good, that would result from its* passage. There is in Newport a great demand yearly for plants of large size for the interior decoration of dwellings, more especially .palmti Heretofore there seemed to be but little difficulty experi- enced by dealers in procuring the re- quired number, but during the last one or two seasons the constant call for them here, augmented by a presumable de- mand in other places, has caused a no- ticeable scarcity. In years gone by, are- cas were used considerably for the pur- poses mentioned, but their somewhat tender character caused them to be all but discarded in favor of kentias, which are in almost every way superior except- ing of course in point of gracefulness, but that is lost sight of when in a short time they show signs of not being adapted to the conditions of their sur- roundings. There is a great demand from city concerns for large plants of aspi- Flower Seeds and Bulbs ASTER SEED* We are the leading specialists and largest growers of high-grade Asters in the world, and have originated more of the standard varieties than all other American seedsmen combined.

WHITE FLY ON TOMATOES. I am growing tomatoes in my green- house. They are about twenty inches high and in good condition, but are now being attacked by small white flies. These are very numerous and seem to damage the foliage. I have smoked them with tobacco stems and with nico- tine papers, but it does not seem to affect them. Will you kindly tell me how I can get rid of them, also your opinion as to whether they are destruc- tive to tomatoes, roses and other plants grown in greenhouses? W. L. The only certain cure I know of for the white fly is hydrocyanic acid gas. Tobacco in any form does not seem to be strong enough to kill it, but the gas certainly will. It will be necessary, however, to apply it about three times, about eight days apart, to exterminate the fly, as the gas will only kill the live insects and will not reach them in the egg stage. It takes, I believe, about three weeks from the time the egg is laid for the insect to hatch, but by operating with the gas at intervals of about eight days the insects are caught before they get settled in their family arrangements. This insect succumbs readily to the gas, so I would not advise you to use it very strong. About one ounce of cyanide of potassium to one thousand cubic feet of space will be strong enough to kill them, and this strength will not hurt any plants you may have in the house along with the tomatoes. The proportions we use are five ounces cyanide, one quart sulphuric acid and one quart of water, this being sufficient to kill the white fly in a house containing 5,000 cubic feet of space. You are probably aware of the danger- ous nature of this gas if the materials are carelessly handled, but I never care VEGETABLE PUNTS 100 1000 LETTDCB PLANTS, ready now. Grand Rapids.

Mention The Review when yon write. to recommend it without a word of warn- ing as to its dangerous nature. You must first find out the cubic space in your house. In a house containing 5,000 feet it is best to use two jars, to insure even distribution, but a smaller house could be done with one, this being set in the center of the house. Use earthenware jars, large enough to guard against the material boiling over. First place in the jar the. quantity of acid and water necessary, then drop the cyanide in and get out and make for the door, making sure to lock this be- hind you. All other doors to the house should have been locked before beginning operations. The best time to use the gas is in the evening, leaving the house closed all night, and by morning it can be entered with safety. These insects are certainly destructive to plants and are very undesirable ten- ants to have in a greenhouse. W. S. Croydon. VEGETABLE PLANTS. My early cabbage plants grew rapidly after sowing, until they were about an inch and a half in height, when they began to change in color to a reddish blue, and finally the leaves began drop- ping off. Transplanted stock acted the same way. They rooted freely and it seems that all growth went to the roots. They finally became unsalable. The tomato plants were similarly affected, turning blue in the stems, while the leaves turned yellow and dropped off at a height of about four inches. All the plants root freely and the growth seems to be con- fined chiefly to the roots. Aster seedlings prosper, also verbenas.

The soil was taken out of my former garden, which was fertilized for the last five years with chicken manure, put on in the fall. No fertilizer at all was given to the cabbage in the house. The soil is a dark brown loam, and hardens quickly to a crust, when it becomes dry. F. N. B. Your trouble seems to be due to sour- ness in the soil. I would advise you to procure soil from some, old pasture in- stead of using old garden soil, which has been heavily manured for a number of years and is more or less of a fatty nature and unsuitable for use in a green- house for almost any class of plants. Try to procure a few loads of sod from some old pasture; pile it up and leave it for about six months, so that the grass will be rotted out before using. The fiber in this will keep the soil open and free. For growing cabbage, tomatoes or any other small plants, no manure whatever is necessary. There will be plenty of nutriment in the soil itself to sustain them until they are large enough for planting out, and they will make a firmer and better growth without the assistance of manure. W.

The fact that the growing of violets for the San Francisco market has prac- tically passed into the hands of the Italians, and also that there is no variety cultivated to any extent except Princess of Wales, shov?s another in- stance of the survival of the fittest. It is probably twenty years since the boom for violet growing commenced in the neighborhood of Menlo Park. At that time the old-fashioned Russian, the Neapolitan and the Swanley White were grown in about equal numbers. A few patches were to be found all the way from San Francisco along the country roads as far as Belmont, cultivated prin- cipally by Italians. When it was found, however, that the rich, mellow soil of San Mateo and Menlo were particularly adapted to their growing, many acres of ground were devoted to their culture, with good profit. About this time the California violet made its appearance and this favored locality scored more of a success than ever. The growers had everything in their hands for a few seasons and made money rapidly. The Italian growers at length began to find there was no longer any demand for the old-fashioned, purple an^ feet high 14.00 Camphor tree, 2 to 3 feet high 16.00 GrevlUea robnata, 214 to 3 feet high 16.00 Cork oaka, 1 foot high 9.00 Pittoaponim eraiaifollBm, 2 feet high 14.00 Pittospomm teaoifoUam, 2feethigh 14.00 Dracaena Indiviaa, 2 feet high 10.00 All the above plants are pot-grown and in the most healthy condition. 25 plants will be sold at 100 rate.

Mention The Review when yon write. Although only four days have elapsed, 7,000 men are idle and the end is not yet. Under such conditions it is hardly pos- sible that a correspondent can report anything very favorable in his chosen field. Although the towns across the bay, such as Oakland and Alameda, are to a certain extent removed from the seat of warfare, still the ill effects seem to in- fluence all the bay towns and there is nothing to report except a fair amount of funeral business for the last week. I am in' hopes that by next week I will be able to report more favorably of the situation, but at the present writing I cannot truthfully say anything that in any way might convey the idea that we are short of being strictly "up against it. ' ' Variouf Notes. Henry J. Zimmer, of Chicago, is vis- iting friends in San Francisco. He will remain here for several weeks and pro- ceed eastward by the way of Portland, Ore., and Seattle, "Wash. James Skinner, after having disposed of a carload of bay trees to the local trade, has removed his base of operations to Portland, Ore.

'';■ •■..,.■,-■■■• May 16, 1907. The Weekly Florists' Review* 2009 demands for all kinds of hardy annuals. The supply in that section is apparently not equal to the calls of the gardening public. Domoto Bros., of Elmhurst, will erect four more rose houses during the coming summer. They have at present one of the largest and most complete plants on the coast. E. Gill, of Oakland and West Berke- ley, has planted forty acres in roses for the coming season's trade. This firm handled over a quarter of a million two- year-old budded stock during the last season. G. PORTLAND, ORE. Current G}tninent. Trade conditions during April, while satisfactory, were not conducive to great enthusiasm, so we looked wise and made the beet of it.^ The present month greeted us with more promising indications and is taxing our efforts to a finish. It is with pride that we refer to the superior quality of stock in general grown in Portland in the last few weeks. The dis- play of Bride, Bridesmaid, Kaiserin and Richmond roses, perfectly formed, with stems three feet in length, we are sure cannot be excelled anywhere. The car- nation family can also boast of fine phys- ical development, in White Lawson, Lawson and Enchantress, and are more popular with the public. Late outdoor tulips and poet's narcissi, lingering re- minders of spring, are filling their places in the market and we dispose of many of them at a moderate price. There is an abundance of everything, and anyone earning over $1.50 a day can have a bou- quet for the Sunday table. The plantsmen are now in their glory, this being the height of the bedding sea- son. That oft-repeated phrase, * * Sales far in advance of last year," still holds good, and why should it not be so when growth and activity are noted in every direction? More beautiful weather could not be asked for. Vegetation is display- ing all her spring charms in full leaf and blossom, and open air competition for the florist has begun. Our customers take pride in inviting us to inspect their achievements in horti- culture, and we have a large number of beautifully kept pl£«es in Portland. While the roses are rapidly forming bud, the magnolia, snowball, vdstaria and tree peony are now seen at their best. But even this in our estimation cannot out- rival the natural charm of" the "Heights," where we often go for rec- reation and inspiration. Scattered among the tall firs are the dogwood, lilac and horse chestnut, forming a pleasing con- trast to the rich green foliage, while in the far distance the snow-capped moun- tains loom up like huge dishes of ice cream. This elevated district is a much frequented place, and observation ears are run daily for the accommodation of all visitors. H. J. M. TRAVELS SELLING CANNAS. J. D. Stratton is traveling through Ill- inois and adjoining states, selling can- nas, gladioli, etc., at retail, representing the Southern Floral Nursery Co. He ad- vertises in the paper of each town for several days in advance of his arrival and is reported to be doing a good busi- ness.

The wholesale nurserymen report a good inquiry for stock for fall trade. Many nurserymen are inquiring if the time has not arrived to make a general advance in prices. The demise of Eli A. Bronson, a pioneer nurseryman of Geneva, N. Y., is reported in the obituary column this week. The nurserymen at Geneva, N. Y., report the spring season as generally the best to date. They sold out closely on nearly all lines. At West Chester, Pa., it is said the rabbits did considerable damage to young stock in the nurseries during the last snowy period of the winter. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has just issued a bulletin of forty-eight freely illustrated pages descriptive of the insect and fungous enemies of the grape east of the Rocky mountains. The president of the American Asso- ciation of Nurserymen has appointed a committee of nine well-known men to report at the Detroit meeting in June a plan for the standardizing of grades of nursery stock. Nelson Bogue, of Batavia, N. Y., has for some years been breeding Morg; horses, more as a hobby than for pro but recently has made some good sales of thoroughbred stock to the owners of large private estates who have visited his nursery. A. R. Pickett will hereafter be asso- ciated with his father in the nursery business at Clyde, O. The new firm takes over the interests of the Highland Nursery and Orchard Co. and will be known as the Clyde Nursery, G. S. Pick- ett & Son, proprietors. Ninety-five per cent of the creditors in the bankruptcy case of the Hart Pio- neer Nurseries, Fort Scott, Kan., peti- tioned Referee Cory, April 25, to sell the remaining stock of the nurseries, and it was so ordered. An offer of $500 on the remaining nursery stock and a few wagons was made and will likely be ac- cepted by Trustee Dan Campbell. Previ- ous sales have amounted to about $2,500. The liabilities in this suit reached $40,- 000. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. The work of planting many deciduous trees may, with perfect safety, be pro- longed after the leaves begin to unfold, if facilities for the immediare watering of the trees are available. Maples are especially tractable in this respect and no fear need be entertained regarding their successful establishment if the above mentioned requirement has been timely applied. Early in summer is a good time to saw off branches that are either super- Own Root Pot- Grown strongly rooted, well ripened young plants from early summer propagation, in prime condition. 2H-ln., $8.

Tlie< above prices ara only for Florists, or those engeged In the trade. Huous or otherwise objectionable on ma- ples. If there occurs an interval of compara- tive quiet between the rush of planting deciduous trees and that of evergreens, it ought, as far as possible, lo be taken advantage of in the way of transplanting those of the former remaining unsold in the nursery rows. The labor thus de- voted could hardly be applied to a better purpose. Seedlings and cuttings kept right along under glass cover should be well hard- ened before being set out in the nursery rows. Weeds are a plague to nurserymen, es- pecially in wet seasons. It will help greatly to keep these down if the war of extermination is begun early and per- sistently waged during every dry day. This persistent killing of weeds, or the cultivation of the soil for their preven- tion, is not only good for that special purpose, but is also serviceable in^ its help to the trees in the nursery. There is no doubt that moving oaks is usually attended with some degree of danger, especially if the trees are large, but if those trees had been as frequently transplanted as is commonly the case with others requiring the precaution less, the danger would be reduced to a mini- mum. The moving of a large oak should never be attempted until at least a year has elapsed since the roots were cut at a suitable distance from the trunk of the tree. This is a good method to adopt with all trees on which the eye of the mover has been cast. The pin oak, Quercus palustris, is one of the handsomest of all the oaks. The leaves at the time of opening are a beau- tiful green, changing gradually to a darker hue until in autumn it assumes tints of brilliant red. In shape this oak is broad and massive, with a pyramidal crown. The English oak, (Quercus robur, is another beautiful tree, with dilated leaves, bluish green underneath and paler green above, changing late in the season to speckled brown. The willow oak, Quercus phellos, is a peculiar and graceful tree, with lanceo- late leaves resembling greatly those of a willow. The leaves turn yellow in the fall. The red oak, Quercus rubra, makes a large, symmetrical specimen tree. The leaves are large and divided into bristly Tffj.^rjiJTTiJ; ■; rilijr>.5r 2012 ^f' The Weekly Florists^ Review* May 16, 1907.

With the end in view of eventually bringing about the reforestation of the pine barrens of upper Michigan, the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co., of Neguanee, is carrying on, at considerable expendi- ture, extensive experiments of much pub- lic interest. It has established two nurseries at which pine trees are being raised from seed. These are at Negau- nee and Coalwood, and at each one the plan has to date been attended with entire success. White pine grown from seed are ready for transplanting two years after sprouting. Ninety thousand of these are ready for this purpose now, and they are being set out on cut-over .1 Hit .

As to begin with, one or even two varieties can be found containing all these qualifications, we must manage to combine them from two or three or per- haps a dozen different varieties and spe- cies of grapes, to be used as parents, re- quiring as many generations, and in each generation we may have to produce hun- dreds of thousands of distinct seedling combinations before we can get one we deem a sufficient advance toward the ideal to be used as a parent in the direct line to the ideal final product. Each generation, if our knowledge and judgment have been good, will furnish some individuals with more of the de- sired qualities than the previous genera- tion, and thus are used as parents for further breeding. Even if we do not reach the ideal in the first, second or many subsequent generations, these gen- erations will furnish improvements over the old, so we can be using them in a commercial way, while we are still striv- ing to get to the ideal. How Munsoa Worked. As an instance, to get the early red market grape suited for the south I will illustrate by example, from my home place, in which my father has partially brought about the ideal, it has not yet been produced, for enough time has not elapsed, but it can be said that it is an improvement by breeding. First the Lindley was used as the mother and the Delaware as the pollen parent. Among the crosses obtained was the Brilliant, a vigorous, healthy vine less subject to root rot than Con- cord, not so resistant to severe cold, but more enduring in the hot, dry, drouthy climate of Texas; subject to mildew in foliage as are both parents, and like them quite exempt from black rot. The cluster and berry are rather larger than its mother, the Lindley, though the clus- ter and berry when the variety first bore resembled the Delaware, and it ripens several days ahead of its parents, both the Lindley and Delaware. The quality is superb and generally preferred as an eating grape to the Delaware. [To be continued.] Rogers, Ark. — Mrs. E. D.

It has been so cold that no bedding out has been attempted, and as soon as the weather warms up all can look for a busy and rushing time. Cut flowers have been rather scarce. The last meeting of the State Florists' Society was held at Henry Rieman's place. Those present report a pleasant time. The subjects discussed were the fall show and the picnic. The latter will be held about June 26, at Willowmere, on the invitation of Frank Harritt. The Tomlinson Hall Market was well supplied. May 12, with all kinds of bed- ding plants. There were some fine Ric- ard geraniums to be seen. This variety is one of the main bedders in this city. E. A. Nelson has secui*ed the contract for this year at Woodruff place. It is one of the largest bedding orders in the city. S. RCXX ISLAND, ILL. The Tri-City Florists' Association met with Henry Meyer May 9. It was the regular monthly meeting of the associa- tion. Plans are being made for the an- nual picnic which will take place Thurs- day, July 11. The place has not yet been definitely decided upon, but the picnic will probably be held at Black Hawk's watch tower. A committee con- sisting of H. Bryant, John Staacljjkand Henry Gaethje will 'iHB^ the arrange- ments. The topic which was taken^ up was "Peony Culture; the Best Varieties for Cut Flowers." Mr. Bryant led the dis- cussion. Mr. Bryant's father, at Prince- ton, 111., is one of the largest peony grow- ers in the state. John Temple also gave an interesting talk on the subject. After the business session' a social time was enjoyed and a luncheon served by the liost. The next regular meeting will be held mth Ewoldt Bros, at Floral Hill, North Brady street. It is the custom to meet annually with the Ewoldts during the strawberry season. The next monthly meeting would regularly come on June 13, but it v>'ill probably not be held until a week later, on siccount of the tardiness of the strawberry season this year.

GLEN COVE, N. Y. A regular and well attended meeting of the Nassau County Horticultural So- ciety was held at the Oriental hotel May 8. Four new members were elected and there were two propositions for member- ship. The display of flowers by the mem- bers was fine. Alexander Mackenzie had an elegant showing of Kichmond roses. Valentine Cleres showed American Beau- ties. Henry Matz and Felix Mense showed carnations. The essay of the evening was by J. F. Johnson, "What Is the Best Time to Plant Evergreensl" The paper was fol- lowed by some spirited discussion and also by a question box, which brought out some interesting and pertinent queries. Announcement was made of some ad- ditional premium offers for the fall ex- hibition. Mrs. Paul Dana has promised $20 worth of books and Mr. Eickards, of New York, will give $10. William H. Bowne has offered a prize of $5 for the best showing of dahlias, the prize to be competed for at the October meeting. Dubuque, Ia. — W. A. Harkett recently addressed the Young Woman's Christian Association on "Home Gardening and the Care of Cut Flowers." The local papers printed a considerable part of his talk and the result was a good impetus to trade.

The Market. After passing through another disa- greeable week, business has dropped off a little; weather conditions are every way but seasonable. Work of all kinds is booked, but we are unable to check it off and at present there is little prospect of doing so. We have had several frosts lately, and this is unusual here at this time of the year. On an average the last killing frost strikes here about April 15, but May 11, 1907, we had a frost which played havoc in the farming sec- tions. The florists also were heavy losers. Any quantity of cut flowers can be had at reasonable figures. The street boys are doing a rushing business. Lilacs are in, but short in supply. Honeysuckle seems to be a little more plentiful. Greens of all kinds are more regular. Various Notes. While he was attending market on a recent Saturday the home of T. W. Gray, Catonsville, Md., was robbed. A gold watch and chain, some money and vari- ous other articles are reported missing. Charles Cook has been receiving con- gratulations from his many friends on the arrival, May 7, of a bouncing baby girl. The pea, bean and strawberry crops in Anne Arundel county are in a satisfac- tory condition and picking will soon start. Aug. Eberhardt is still cutting some fine Enchantress carnations and offering a nice lot of well rooted asters in 2-inch pots. John P. Willheim, Gardenville, Md., was seen the other day in town with a new rubber-tired buggy and driving a young, spirited colt. Among those who have taken up the idea of handling flower seeds in pack- ages in the market are Mrs. James Glass, Mrs. Emma Hahn and Mrs. F. Powell, and they report trade on them as satis- factory.

DORNER & SONS CO., x: Lafayette, Ind. 2020 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ May 16, 1907. COLUMBUS, OHIO. ThcMjtfkct. The cold weather continues, with the result of maintaining the same good, steady trade that we have had for the last two months. While there has not been any rush, even with the seedsmen, still the long spring business will result at the end in very favorable totals for all. What is now very much helping our florists is the fact that the unseasonable cold weather has so fax kept the best trade from leaving the city for the sum- mer; for the moment the settled heat comes, "society" begins to go, and the beginning of the "summer dullness" sets in. All stock is in good supply except car- nations, which are still hard to obtain in sufficient quantity to amply supply all the demands. Roses are especially fine this week, some long-stemmed Chatenay and Eichmond being particularly in de- mand. Some fine lots of white and ex- tra early Blanche Ferry sweet peas have been the feature of the week, and at the popular price of 25 cents a bunch have found ready sale. The wonderfully long season that the landscape and nursery- men are having insures a very large busi- ness in these lines. Various Notes. At the last meeting of the Florists ' Club, May 14, the club's prizes of $5, $3 and $2 were awarded to the winners in the "point system" contest, for plants and flowers that have been exhibited at our meetings during the past winter sea- son. Madison Miesse, of Lancaster, was re- cently in town, and announces that he has secured the services of Fred Wind- miller, who for several seasons had charge of the greenhouse plant of the Livingston Seed Co. Recently Mr. Wind- miller has been with the Cleveland Cut Flower Co. The closing of Green Lawn cemetery to Sunday burials, which plan went into effect last Sunday, has resulted in mak- ing our florists busier on Friday, as many more funerals are now being held on Saturdays, especially late in the aft- ernoon. The Livingston Seed Co, is holding its annual sale of magnolia trees. These are a special feature with this firm, which disposes of them in all the best varieties in large quantities. The official seal of Ohio, made from thirty varieties of seeds, all of which were grown in the Buckeye state, has been installed as a part of the state's display at the Jamestown Exposition. So perfect in workmanship is it that it ap- pears to be painted. William Graff, of Graff Bros., has re- turned from a ten days* trip to Chicago, and his firm is reaping some of the re- sults of his visit, in an American Beauty rose sale. Graff Bros, make a specialty of these popular sales, working off lajge quantities of stock. John Williams has adopted a unique and popular idea in the selling of his tomato plants. He transplants dozens and twenty-five plants into 3-inch and 7 -inch bulb pans, and they sell readily. M. B. Faxon has been invited to ad- dress the teachers and scholars of the public schools on the children's garden- ing problem. Zero.

May 16, 1907. LENOX, MASS. The regular meeting of the Lenox Hor- ticultural Society was held Saturday, May 4, with President Heeremaus in the chair. Thomas Proctor was awarded a first- class certificate of merit for two fine plants of Rehmannia angulata, grown and shown for the first time in Lenox. This beautiful, half hardy, herbaceous perennial comes from central China. It is free flowering. The flowers, borne up the stem, are rosy purple, about three inches in diameter, and have a rich yel- low throat, dotted with purple. The in- dividual blooms are large, striking and showy. Seed sown early in the year will flower the same year. This is a welcome addition for conservatory use. Mr. Proctor was also awarded two certificates of cultural commendation for two well grown plants of Schizanthus Wisetonensis in 10-inch pots and Phlox divaricata in 10-inch pans. The next meeting will be held Satur- day, May 18, when important business will be brought up before the society. G. H. F. ROSWELL, N. M. The weatlier during February and March was unusually warm, but took a sudden change April 20, when we had a big snow storm and a hard freeze on top of it, which killed a lot of advanced flow- ering plants. Since then the weather has been cold and windy. May 9 wo had a wet hail storm that lasted for sixteen minutes, but did not do much damage to glass, as the stones were small. All kinds of outdoor plants, however, suffered greatly. Flowering plants that were to come in for Decora- tion day are no more to be seen. F. O. S. Sherman, N. Y. — I. ing two greenhouses.

May 10 we had quite a snow- fall, followed by a heavy frost* Business seems to come in spurts, prob- ably Ijecauso the most of it is for fu- nerals. To say that the market remains well cleaned up is hardly putting it strong enough. Saturday and Sunday rtowers were so scarce that one of the commission houses borrowed one dozen sweet peas from a retailer. Roses sell at from 3 cents to 8 cents and are of fine quality. Carnations are of an ex- ceptionally good quality, and although the cut seems to be heavy, they are in such demand that one seldom sees any at the loc'il commission houses one hour after the arrival of a shipment. Sweet peas are also of good quality and sell readily at from 50 cents to 75 cents per hundred. Violets are on their last legs. Bulbous stock still holds on, but is noth- ing extra. Smilax is a little more plen- tiful. Southern ferns are about the best on the market at present. Various Notes. The ice peddlers' strike was of short duration. The dealers agreed to give all the men a raise of $1 a week. This means $16 during the winter and $18.50 during the summer months. Gus. H. Taepke has purchased the piece of land occupied by him for so many years on Elmwood avenue, also the strip along Hunt street. It is understood that the old houses are to give way to new, modem houses this summer. Beard Bros, are cutting some of the finest carnations in this vicinity. The Lohrman Seed Co. has gone quite extensively into the tree spraying busi- ness. This firm has three or four wagons rigged up with a spraying apparatus, the pressure being derived from the regular soda fountain air-pressure tanks. H. S. Sterunq, III. — The Sterling Floral Co. has planted a bed of pansies 7x120 feet along the east side of its new car- nation house. Peterboro, Ont. — .lordan Bros, re- cently made a shipment of 275 carna- tion plants to a florist at Adelaide, South Australia. They will be six weeks on the way.

Now, I would like to take out the flue. How much more 1-inch pipe will I need to heat the building for carnations, geraniums, etc., and how many flows of 2-inch pipe will I need?

On May 6 we had one of the most severe hail storms this country ever ex- perienced. A. A. Harper's houses are a total wreck. The loss on houses and plants was $400; there was no insurance. Mrs. C. A. Starr lost about the same amount; N. F. Penny, market gardener, lost 1,800 feet of glass. Hail or chunks of ice over three inches in diameter and weighing seven ounces were picked up. Gardens and orchards are all cut and beat up till they are ruined. As the spring is very late, all the greenhouses were full of bedding stock; so the loss is great. Owing to the mildness of the winter the cut flower trade was bad, as so many people cut flowers outdoors all winter. The lowest temperature we had last winter was 27 degrees, something unusual for this climate. H. ' STEAMER SAILINGS.

PHILADELPHIA Warehouses: JERSEY CITY. N. J. LONG ISLAND CITY. N. Y. Mention The Review when you write. PITTSBURG. The Market. Snow, rain and ice in the middle of May are not conducive to good business, and all of these we had last week. Greenhouse men usually are cleaned up by Decoration day, but up to this time have not been able to deliver anything and are wondering how they will be able to handle the stock quick enough to sat- isfy their customers when the weather settles. Vegetation was farther advanced in March than ever was known, but now the middle of May finds it farther back than the oldest inhabitant can remember at this season. The warm March brought shrubbery into leaf and the cold since has killed much of it. , In many places deutzia, weigelia and stock op that kind has been killed to the ground and her- baceous stock has suffered in the same way. One of our prominent gardeners says that there was more stock killed this year than any other year in his rec- ollection, and most of it since April 11. The continued rains have kept the farmer back in his work of getting in spring crops. In some cases oats are not yet planted. Among the cut flower growers stock becomes more plentiful every day. There is nothing short and many things are a drug, especially sweet peas. Some of the retailers still complain about business, but they seem to be busy enough and I imagine it has just gotten to be a habit. Qub Meeting. At the club meeting May 7 bedding plants were exhibited by I. S. Crall Co., of Monongahela, Pa., and by Blind Bros. The discussion of varieties brought out the fact that one successful grower grew only three varieties of geraniums, one red, one white and one pink, and the beat variety of each color. He grows these well and, while he has a large busi- ness, never has any trouble satisfying his customers and always sells out at top prices. A paper on credits was read by T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., in which he called attention to the loose manner in which florists as a rule conduct their business aflFairs, many of them having only one object: to dispose of their stock, without taking proper care of how they are going to get their money. He also called attention to the way florists let a beat go the rounds and stick everybody before he is found out, and suggested an association such as they have in other trades where competition is greater than ours, showing by figures how their losses had been reduced sixty- five per cent. He also censured the trade for carelessness in making collections, al- lowing accounts to stand for fear of of- fending customers, while the florist THE IONIA POT Appeals to the Aggressive Up-to-Date Florist BKCAUSBt It has style and is made on honor.

Did he say how he primed the material ? We have told you every once- in-a-while the way we do this painting business; how cypress absorbs more oil than most woods, and that a mere brushed-on prime coat can- not be as lasting as our "soaked in" method. This soaked in method is simply placing the materials right in a vat of pure oil and oxide of iron, where they actually do SOak* Then they are stood up to drip. The wood takes all the oil it needs; when you put on your second coat, the wood does not absorb the oil, leaving the pigment ready to chalk off. Next week we are going to tell you something about a special white lead that we make, that prevents mildew or blisters. w-. Don't believe for a minute that the "hardware man's," or any other man's paint will do for a greenhouse. It miist be a rreenhouse paint made for grreenhouaes, that la, if you don't want mildew or blisters. •■■"»*,.!Vi-T' >- f Lord & Burnham Co.
