PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage
of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generally suc-
cessful. One of our successful growers has this year taken out 6ooo feet of
wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6000 feet
of the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order.
Our long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of
the large growers at Chicago you will confer a favor on the

endless details. It treats you just the way our boilers do
your greenhouses— they get busy at once. Send for this catalog.

'ou can see plain
enough that
with this valley con-
nection the U-Bar
construction is just
about as light as any construc-
tion can be, and be enduring.
U-Bar greenhouses are the best
greenhouses built because
there's no other construction
admits of such light connec-
tion, or makes such connection
in as mechanical, yet pleasing
way. The gardener likes the
results these houses give — the
owner likes both the looks and
results. Send for catalog.

FIX THIS
IN YOUR
MIND
that with our 40-foot wide
Iron Frame House, two small
columns at every rafter, 8 feet
4 inches apart, are all the
supports needed. Just think
what a tremendous factor that
is in shade reduction, not
taking into account the added
convenience in working your
beds.
Yon can't get that proposition In any other
house. Get the exact particulars of this con-
struction from our Iron Frame Catalog.

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.
^. Various Notes.

Martin Rocking Grate
Will burn less coal per pound of steam, will waste less coal in the
ash-pit, will burn more different grades and sorts of coal— more
economically, and will last longer than any other grate made.

BOMBAYREED
JARDINIERES
Are What
The Florists
Are Using
Nowadays!
WHY?
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.
Don't forget that our Foliage Green colors have made the hit.
See our artistic window boxes.

THE NEW PINK ROSE
AURORA
••••
A Rose for Everybody
••••
This Rose is a seedling from Bon Silene and Souvenir du President Carnot. The flowers are large and full,
and are produced on long and stiff stems, with a rich dark green foliage. The color is a beautiful pink with a
deeper shading in the center. The keeping quality of the flowers is excellent, and it does not lose its brilliancy of
color when kept in the cellar. The habit of growth is strong and vigorous; it has absolutely no tendency to go
dormant during the winter and every shoot has a flower bud.
M ■ I^B^^V^/% has inherited the productiveness of Bon Silene and has the free flowering qualities of this
>% ^J iC^^ICAm well-known, prolific variety. It is easy to grow, and does not need a high temperature.

EASTER PLANT ARRANGEMENTS.
A Variety Desirable.
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-

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.
The willow or bamboo basket is good
where the material to be used is heavy,

a plant receptacle. it is offered in
dozens of shapes and sizes and goes well
with almost every flowering or foliage
plant.
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.

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,

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. A lily delivered Sunday after-
noon, after you have had three telephone
calls about it, is a poor substitute for
the one promised at 9 a. m. Devise a
system that will get you there on time.
NEVER TROUBLE TROUBLE.
Trouble, trouble, let me be.
Trouble, trouble, twenty-three!
Trouble, trouble, prunes for you.
Trouble, trouble, oh sklddoo.
"You will have no trouble if you
buy your plants at Roselawn Greenhouse.

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

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

to look faded and old ; but this is enough
to jog your memory about this.
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.

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.

by no means dump it until you have
given it a trial; immerse it in water up
to the rim until it is quite wet, but don 't
let the water overflow.
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.

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.

quite freely discussed, this evil occur-
ring chiefly with agents at country sta-
tions who seldom receive plant ship-
ments and either do not know or care
about the special discounts, or are paid
on a commission basis and naturally are
interested in collecting as full an
amount of charges as possible. 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,

the best informed men in the world,

hybrids, came repeatedly to the exhibits

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,

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

Rambler Roses.
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. Jf you raise cucumber, tomato,
<'gg })lant or any other vegetables to
.™i-......^.

sell, the hotbed will be found far su-
perior to the greenhouse.
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.

edly William Sim's houses of sweet
peas at Cliftondale, Mass. 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.

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,

The Banquet
The Washington Florists' Club enter-
tained at a banquet at the Arlington
hotel Thursday evening, March 21. 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.
"Washington Parks, Past and Pres-
ent," by George E. Brown.
* * The Gardener and His Work for
the Rose," by Patrick O'Mara.

Stewart.
"Our Guests," by Wm. F. Gude.
"The Ladies," by Robert Craig.
Friday afternoon the society was re-
ceived at the White House by President
Roosevelt.

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. ■

'riicy adiipt theiiisclvos to the varied con-
ditions of soil and climate; of eourst%
the better the soil and more attention
received, the finer will be the growth
and profusion of ilowers. 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.

EXPRESS RATES.
Hearing: at Washington.
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

brother of Alexander B. Garden, the

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. Mr. Fisher's own
sales amount to 100,000 and it is evi-
dent that Beacon is going to be the,
dominant scarlet in 1907-8.

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.

NET YORK.
The Market
I'^astcr will lu' only :i week away
■wlu'ii this issue rcaclu's the readers in
.\e\v \()iU. If the ileliylili'ul S|irinally, I do not
believe there will be one j)erfect plant
in any j;re(>nliouse within fifty miles
remaining unsold four days before the
Kaster festival lu'f^ins. To speidfy the
centers of the plant* industry here and
do eacii om^ justice woidfl use up every
jiajje of this l)ijr nund)er. 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. The si/.e
at $2 is th(> most ]>opular and brings
easily .1'.) a plant at retail, ril)l)ons and
pot covers inidutle(l.
Lilies have all Ikhmi booked at 12
cents per bud; very few S(dd at 10 cents
and these only the smaller flowers.
From now on tiie bcdated buyers will
])ay ]") cents and I will not be surprises there are lilacs, ericas, rho-
df»(l(Midrons. liydrangeas, acacias and
azaleas in endless profusion.
1 note a year ago the ])i'oj)hec_\' was
fulfilled, as to the two dull weeks be-
fore Kaster, and it was stated that
similar results might be expected in
1907, and here they are. 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." Next week Wednesday Henry
Si(dire(dit, Sr., will give an illustrated
lecture on "Kaster Plants and Home
Decoration. "
Traendly & Scheuck's lieutenant is
very ill with pleurisy.
r. (!. 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.

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.

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.

run of orders for large designs last
week. 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.
Arnold Schaflfhauser, formerly with
Wietor Bros, and later foreman for
Adam Zender, is taking a vacation be-
fore taking hold of a new job.

fore starting east. Ed. Hauswirth, who
accompanied his father, preceded him

in town in the last week. Among them
were P. J. Kersten, Devils Lake, N. D.,
seeking material for a new greenhouse;
Theodore "Wirth, guest of Alois Frey, on
his way home to Minneapolis from

INDIANAPOLIS.
Charlotte, N. C. — Scholtz reports
business not at all affected by Lent.
They are erecting three greenhouses of
King construction.
Salem, 0. — The contract has been let
for a house and a residence for William
Mundy. Work will be started in early
spring.
Shillington, Pa. — ^L. M. Deeds is
building an addition to his greenhouses.
It will be 28x70 feet and will be used
for carnations.
Current Gmiment.
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. Brown, a grower,

Prize Winning Beauties
Mr. George Burton won the Lord & Burnham Cup at the National
Rose Show in Washington last week. This cup was offered for fifty-
American Beauties. There was no competition, Mr. Burton being the
only grower who could exhibit fifty fancy blooms. Mr. Burton having
won this cup two years ago from a number of competitors, now holds
the trophy. We handle all Mr. Burton's flowers.

Robert Kift, Herbert G. TuU, of Henry
A. Dreer; G. C. Watson and David Rust.
Together they aecided the above points
ana made financial arrangements.
Tuesday evening the Florists' Club
entertained the visitors at a banquet
given in the foyer of Horticultural hall.
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. Congdon,
Boston, and Edward A. Flood, Atco, N.
J. Samuel S. Pennock presided, and
Robert Craig acted as toastmaster.
Speeches were made by W. J. Stewart,
John Westcott, J. C. Vaughan, P. J.
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.
Connor, Robert Craig, W. P. Craig, J.

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.
Dodds, William Graham, Robert Kift
and Robert Schoch. I will allow the
Washington correspondent to give you
full details of this melancholy affair.
The second series will be rolled in Phila-
delphia Thursday, March 21.

COLD STORAGE LILIES.
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.
Leominster, Mass. — Nellie G. Stone

TROUBLE WITH GERANIUMS.
I enclose some samples of geranium
leave. The plants did well up to the
first part of March, when the spots ap-
peared. 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.

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

misunderstand just what I mean here;
I refer especially to those seeds that
are just as good, and in many cases
much improved, by being two or three
years old. 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 will go no further
into this matter at this time, but no
one who reads this article must misun-
derstand my position in regard to carry-

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. I am telling you about carry-

business policy, but in order that the

A SPECIAL LIGHT MIXTURE
GLADIOLI Hffi FLORISTS
What do You Think of This
Inparalleled
You cannot duplicate the
quality for several
times the price.
There are varieties in this
mixture you would
not sell for $15.00
per 100.
The vitality and power
of multiplication is
exceptional.

Dear Sir:
Herewith find $ lor which you may
enter my— our order for thousand
of your Meadowvale Florists' Light Mixture to
be shipped via, freight— express about
P O. B. Berlin. N. Y.
This order is given by me— us and taken by
you with the understanding that if given proper
soil and cultivation, we can. after blooming this
season (1907) conscientiously say we have not
received full value I— we can. at harvest time,
return the stock, together with its increase in
bulbs and cormels to you via freight— express
and you will refund tbe above amount paid.
If returned fi eight— express charges will be
paid by me— us.
Name
Town County.
State
This order has been accepted and entered
under the above conditions.
Berlin. N. Y 190.
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. Y., cash with
order, and will be sold subject to the conditions on above order blank.
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.
Xllnstrated Catalogrne of Other Collections, Mixtures and Named Varieties will be Mailed upon Application.

great responsibility. 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. The oc-
cupant of such a position is morally
obligated to every customer of the house ;
he stands between the planter and crop
failure. On the other hand, his firm ex-
pects him to make money for the house;
and fortunate is the man who can serve
both masters satisfactorily.

is Conklin's seed house, which is situ-
ated up to the tracks of the two rail-
roads from Eobinson street, and which
annually distributes great quantities of
grass and farm seeds to all parts of the
country. 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.
In the five-story section of the plant is
located the department for the recleaning

This Is Ny lOth Year
I am a little proud of the record the Orchid is making for itself in America. I have endeavored to
do my share in emphasizing its value to floriculture in this country. I think you will admit I have
accomplished my purpose. Now, when you want them, you know the one place where you are

TORONTO.
The Market.
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. The
exhibition was a good one, and the

quality and the quantity of the carna-
tions put up were fine. J. 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. If we get all the papers that are
down on the list we should certainly
have an interesting meeting next fall in

London, as there are many papers down
which touch on live subjects in connec-
tion with the flower trade. 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. The firm intends
putting up another large house in the
spring.

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. Violets are getting poor. Smi-
lax IS still scarce. Ferns are up to !:>2.50
per thousand, and are poor at that. Aza-
\^^A ^^^^^' ^°^^ plants, bulbous plants,
rhododendrons, etc., are selUng well.

flowers, dyed green, in his window last
week.
J. E. 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.

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.

Madsen has sold his business and haa
returned to Denmark to live. Mr. and
Mrs. Madsen sailed March 16.

The North Shore Horticultural So-
ciety held its regular meeting in Man-
chester, March 15, President McGregor
in the chair. J. W. Duncan, of Boston,
read an interesting paper on "Trees
and Shrubs." 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. T.

The George Wittbold Co., Chicago, a

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.

American Elm.
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

free from the said San Jose scale or other plant
infectious diseases.
Whenever any nursery owner of this state
ships, or causes to be shipped, the trees, plants,
shrubbery, vines, etc., produced by a nursery
in any other state, the same, before they are
offered for sale, shall contain a tag or tags
announcing the place where the same were first
grown, and the advertising of nursery stoclc
grown in a foreign state as "home grown" Is

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."

The floweri are large, of splendid form, and are borne very freely in immenae olusterB.
The color is a deep rich Bblnlnc scarlet slightly dappled with crimson. Foliage Is a ricli
bronse. Height, SH to 4 feet. We believe that Wn. Saaaden is decidedly the most perfect
Oanna of this type that has been introduced. 60c each; $5.00 per doz.; $85.00 per 100.
OTTAWA
Is a strong grower, very robust and 5 to 6 feet high. The flowers are large and beaa-
tifully formed, color is carmine with tints of old rose and deep coral, add to this the silken
sheen and you can imagine the effect a few plants will produce.
NOTE— We had this Oanna on trial among the Oanadlan experimental stations last
summer and this is the official report of their expert: "Quite distinct and one of the most
beautiful shades of color I ever saw in Oannas. Of 70 massed In one bed daring tbe past
season, this was the most floriferous in tbe 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;
$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. Tbe color is a solid rich scarlet covered with a beautiful glowing sheen.
The flowers are large and contrast beautifully with the dark bronze foliage. 60o each;
$6.00 per doz.; $36.00 per 100.

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.

CARNATIONS ON THE COAST.
I am located about six miles from
the Pacific ocean and about midway be-
tween San Francisco and Portland. 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

Carbon is a splendid yellow striped sort.
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.

< 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.

The Florists* Qub.
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. W.

Vegetable Forcing.
Vegetable growers will be interested
in the illustrated notes on the establish-
ment of Wm. Sim, Cliftondale, Mass.,
which appears on another page of this
issue.
The members of the Market Garden-
ers' Association at Peoria, 111., of -which
Wm. Seibold is president and George
Schofl secretary, resent insinuations that
they have formed a trust. They say their
purpose is not to raise prices except by
preventing the market being glutted.

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. W. S. Croydon.
SEEDTIME PLEASURES.
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.
For in this catalogue I find
New radishes and peas.
Six kinds of lettuce, eight of corn —
I want to try all these;
CucumBers slim, cucumbers fat,
And limas short and tall.
And melons, cabbage, beets and greens —
I want to try them all.
Tomatoes, ten varieties.
And onions white and red.
Asparagus and celery —
I want of each a bed,
And turnips early, turnips late.
Potatoes by the score,
And squashes, my! don't say a word,
A dozen kinds or more.
I herewith thank the seedsman kind
For sending me his book,
When all these things are coming on,
How pretty they will look I
And when the frost has left the ground,
Amidst the robin's song,
I'm going to plant my total plot —
Twelve feet by twenty long!
— New York Sun.
York, Pa. — A blaze was started in the
boiler-room of Charles Smith's green-
house, caused by an overheated stovepipe.
Fifty dollars will cover the loss.
Newtown, Pa. — Arthur Smith and
John Van Aart, formerly of Indian-
apolis, have bought the Lincoln Heights
greenhouses of H. W. Wieland. They
will operate under the firm name of
Smith & Van Aart and will make carna-
tions their specialty.
Henderson, Ky. — M. C. Morgan, of
Madisonville, and Ed. Eckerd and Will-
iam D. Lambert, of this city, have pur-
chased the greenhouses of the W. K. Con-
over Co. and will begin repairs and addi-
tions at onc«. The new firm will be
known as the Morgan Floral Co.

The new Petunia THE QUEEN has been grown by us for the past five years. It is a
wonderful bloomer, the flowers are of an enormous size and measure from four to four and
one-half inches in diameter. The flowers are white, mingled with purple, very nicely fringed,
making one of the handsomest plants grown. It is an early bloomer, in fact, one of the best
sellers for Decoration Day. THE QUEEN9 planted outdoors will continue to bloom all
summer. The flowers can be used to good advantage in design work.

superior to and must not be confounded with young winter
propagated stock such as is generally sent out in the spring of
the year.

March 21, 1907.
KANSAS C3TY.
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.

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.

TWIN QTIES.
The Market.
Trade conditions have not changed
much during the last week. Business
has kept up fairly well and stock is
plentiful. 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.

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. It is the most incessant bloomer, early and
late, we have evergrown. Stock limited. No discount.
Price tl2.Q0 per 100; tlOO.QO per 1000.

MARGUERITES.
I wish to grow yellow and white mar-
guerites for cutting next winter. 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.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^
Mabch 21, 1907.
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.

EASTER PLANTS
Blooming Easter Week
or earlier if desired, are now ready
for immediate shipment.
Come or mall your order direct to the head-
quarters. Our reputation over the entire country
from the Atlantic to the Paclflc In growing Eas-
ter stock for the wholesale market for many
years past ought to be sufficient guarantee as to
the truth of what we say and advertise. 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.
What was my daty on mjr trip to Ghent,
BelKiam (the land of azaleas, araacariaa
and palms), last fall, 1906? Answer: Of
course, the interests of my customers, not
speaking of the 1100 souvenir cards which I
mailed to my customers In America. For the
beneflt of my customers I also bought Azalea
Indica for Easter trade, the cream of Belgium's
production that money could buy.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*
Mabcu 21, 1007.
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.

A. Ley & BrO., Langdon, D. C.
CENTRAL, MO.
The writer, in company with "Walter
Weber, of St. Louis, went out to see an
old friend, John Steidle, and his modern
place at Central, and found the carna-
tions in unexcelled condition. Mr. Stei-
dl5 has made a specialty of the divine
flower for a number of years and cer-
tainly has made a great success of it.
This is his first year with roses and they
have done wellj there was only a bench
of Brides that was a little off in health,
but fast recuperating. He has cut a
great many fine blooms during the sea-
son. He grows exclusively for Fred C.
Weber.
Next we visited Mr. Steidle 's neighbor,
A. Jablonsky. Here, also, we found
carnations looking well, full of blooms
and buds. Eoses have not done so well
as Mr. Jablonsky could wish, but, like
all good growers, he has his back up and
says he will make the queen of flowers
come to time next season.
From there Mr. Steidle drove us over
to J. W. Dunf ord 's place. He also makes
a specialty of carnations. A big bench
or more of Lawson was fine. He grews
a great many Boston Market, a rather
small flower, but a wonderful producer,
as it was a regular sea of buds. Mr.
Dunford says that his wholesale trade
demands this variety. He has a great
lot of lilies. Some are very good, one
lot in particular; another lot was dis-
appointing. He grows a good many cal-
las, also bedding plants. He has 15,000
geraniums ready to pot up.
Although the weather was wretched
the greater part of the day, how much
lighter all the houses looked in compari-
son with ours so near the city. Plants
have a different appearance within the
city's smoke. We were tired out with
our long ride, but felt amply repaid for
our visit. P. J. P.
Enclosed find $1 for another year's
subscription to the Review, which so
long as I am in the business I will never
be without. — Louis H. Seaman, Danbury,
Conn.
I COULD not get alone without the
Beview, as it puts us in tench with
those who want to buy, or with those
who have stock to sell. — J. H. Hutford,

CLEAR CYPRESS FOR FRAMING AND CONSTRUCTION—
PECKY CYPRESS FOR BENCHES AND SOIL TRAYS. /
PKCKT CTPRK88.
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."

Iff you want to kill Scale on your plants absolutoly,
there is only one preparation -^
WILSON'S PIANT OIL
Take a can of this preparation, dilute to four times its bulk with water, and wash or spray
your palms, ferns, aspidistras, smilax, or any plants subject to scale, bugs or vermin and
YOUR PLANTS WILL BE CLEAN. One of the greatest discoveries of modem times.
NO ALKALI. NOTHING DELETERIOUS. DRIES AT ONCE. Saves many a dollar
for you, Mr. Florist. Did you ever see any of these testimonials attached to an article
that was not good.
READ WHAT OTHERS SAY OF IT:
iLUNOis State Pexitkntiary, Joliet, Ii^l., Nov. 14. 1906.
Dear Sir : — Tour Plant Oil arrived, and tried, and one applica-
tion did the work. Something I have been looking for— for years.
It's sure and no injury to the plants.
Very truly yours. W. M. 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.
New York Botanical Garden, Bronx Park,
New York City, Sept. 5. 1906.
Having used your insecticide here, I can testify to its efHciency
in destroying scale and other insects infesting plants.
Yours very truly, GEO. A. SKENE.
Fi/)RHAM P"ARMS, Madison, N. J., Dec. 8, 1906.
Your Plant Oil is certainly the most effective scale killer I have
ever tried. Please send another five gallons.

PANCRATIUM MARITIMUM.
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."

The Wittbold Watering System
„ , ' .... — '^"'^Bi
<^;^
^^l^^p
FOR GREENHOUSE AND FIELD WATERING.
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.
HERE ARE LETTERS FROM WELL-PLEASED USERS:
"Some Wxac ajro we put In 100 feet of your system on trial and It
baa Riven perfect SHtisf action. Send 500 feet more at once and
we shall wai i 1800 feei additional as soon as our new houses are
i-eady. We thlnU the system a very good tliln? and consider the
labor saved will pay for tbe apparatus In one season."
Davis Bros., Morrison, III.
"We wish to have our entire rangre fitted up with your watering
system. We are mncb pleased wltli tbe working of the section
whlcli we have in at present and are perfectly satisfied that the
time win be very short till all np-to-date grrowers will use the
Wittbold system instpud of tbe present method of watering with
the hose. Wlien tlie nozzles are properly spaced, they throw ex-
actly the same amoant of water to all parts of the bench."
W. B. Davis & Co., Cucumber Growers, Aurora, 111.
"It is a fine tbInK and I wonder why greenhouse men have not
taken hold more. It should come into general use. It puts the
water on more evenly than the average man will with the liose."
STKrHEN Hydk, Vegetable Grower, Carthage, Mo.
"We have your system In one of our Flcus houses; It is Working
fine and Is doing' as mncb as ten men would do in tlie old way
In tbe same time. We like it so well ttiat as soon as we can arrange
for water supply we shall equip our whole place."
A. C. Oet.schkj & Sox, Savannah, Ga.
"We have the Wittbold system la six houses 3:{x200and It works
to perfection, doing the watering better than tbe average
man can do with the hose. We will equip our other two plants
next season; no more watering with the hose for us."
Cha.mhehi-in is. BiKKER, Vegetable Growers, Fremont, Mich.
"It is the King of Sprinklers; beats everything in the watering
line." J. B. ADAMS, Pass UlirlBtlan, Miss.
"We are better pleased every day. A boy can do better work
with it than a good man can with a hose. It is tbe only way to
water lettuce." R. T. Donxeli,, Springfield 111.
"As a time-saver, in my estimation there is nothing to equal it
and no one reallclng Its value will be without the Witt-
bold system." Wm. Edi.efsex, Milwaukee, Wis.
"Your system in our Rose house works so well we want to equip
five more houses. The labor and hose saved will in a short time
pay for the system." Ki-eh.m's Niirsekies, Arlington Heights. 111.
"It wont be long before It will be universally us«d."
Alois Frev, Head Gardener, Lincoln Park Chicago.
"The Wittbold system is a great success with ns, a great

GREENHOISE BOILERS
Superior because made of the same STEEL as high-pressure boilers; no sections to give way on a cold
night, as with cast iron heaters — it isn't fair to call them "boilers." Made in the good, old-fashioned
conscientious way, of HEAVIER steel than any other steel boiler; naturally they last longer.
LARGEST HEATING SURFACE. MOST PERFECT COMBUSTION. BEST OF CIRCUUTION INSURED
RBAD WHAT A FSW U8KR8 SAT :
"Saperlor to any Hot Water Boiler we ever used. Tou certainly bare placed the right name to your boilers; no effort at all to keep the
temperature at desired points when zero weather comes. Night after night the past severe winter weather gave your boilers a good test.
We are more than pleased with the Superior Boiler." -TREANOR & RETriC, South Bend, Ind.
"We are running twelve of your Superior Boilers and find them satisfactory in every respect. They are not only good heaters, but eco-
nomical to operate. We shall be pleased to have florists visit our place to see these boilers working."— PETER RBINBERQ, Chicago.

heat besides the small one, and what sys-
tem of piping would you advise? There
will be a half bench on each outside and
two full benches in the center. 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.

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. L. C. C

TWO HOUSES AND DWELLING.
I wish to heat two even-span houses,
one 20x50, with brick walls four feet
high and rafters twelve feet long, the
other 20x30, with walls four and one-
half feet high and rafters twelve feet
long. In connection with these two
houses I wish to heat a dwelling, one
story, 25x50, containing three rooms and
a hall only that will need to be heated.
I have a twenty horse-power tubular
steam boiler, thirty-three inches in diam-
eter, containing twenty-eight 3-ineh flues
eight feet long. The boiler has a dome
and the flow has 4-inch taps at the dome.
How deep should I dig the boiler-pit for
a hot water system? I have about 500
feet of 21/^ -inch pipe, 800 feet of 2-inch,
three 2-inch valves, three 2%-inch valves
and one 3% or 4^ -inch valve. How
many radiators and what number of sec-
tions will the house require and the num-

gest that it be eighteen inches or two
feet lower, ao that in case it should be
♦lesirable to run the plant as a steam
J)! ant the boiler would be set properly.
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.

Seeing Chicago
THIS IS WHAT THE CRIER IS SAYING:
"On my left you will see the well-known E^roeschell Hot
Water Greenhouse Boiler. It is the invention of Charles
Kroeschell , one of the oldest and best known boilermanuf acturers
in the country. He makes all kinds of boilers for all purposes.
"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."

carry the 2-inch flow to the far end of
the house and have it connect at the
opposite end of the manifold to where
the 11/4 -inch return is now taken off,
your plant should give good service, pro-
vided you have radiation enough. 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. Y., intends

diately after Easter.
Sambrook Bros, were rushed with
funeral work at the time of my visit
in Troy. T. J. Totten, of Saratoga,
looked in on his way home from the
south, where he went to recuperate and
prepare for a busy season. He says the
craftsmen in the coast towns are up-to-
date and he was especially interested in
the establishments of John W-olf and
Oelschig & Son, of Savannah, Ga., where
Ficas elastica is grown by the thousand.

PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage
of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generally suc-
cessful. One of our successful growers has this year taken out 6ooo feet of
wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6000 feet

EUONYMUS RADICANS.
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.
