TAKING THE BUDS.

We are once again brought to the moat
important period in chrysanthemum growi
ing, which is that of bud selection. yb«
commercial grower does not figure muco
on buds so early, excepting on the ea.ii-
heat varieties, but the exhibitor, who
waste the very largest flowers, must, in
■the majority of eases, gee the crown b^d
from the nxiddle of August onward.

That the novice may understand the
difference between what are known as
crown buds and terminal buds, I wo^ld
say that crowns are the buds that form
in the earlier stages of the growth of the
plant, the teriniijttl bud being the termi-
nus, or finish of the growth. The differ-
ence between the buds may be known in
several ways, the time they are produced
being one way. No variety that I am ac-
quainted with produces terminal buds so
early in the year as August; consequent-
ly any bud produced in that month can
be set down as a crown.

The crown bud always has two or more
growth shoots that appear around it, and
these shoots, if not removed, will grow
on, and, taking the nourishment from the
bud, will render the. latter useless. If
the date is not too early, the surrounding
sHoots can be rubbed off and then the
bud will develop properly.

T'he terminal bud is surrounded by a
cluster of smaller buds, and appears in
September or later, according to the time
the plants are set out. The flower pro-
duced from a terminal bud is nevef so
large as from crown buds. In some (;a8es
it is more highly colored, some of the
pink varieties showing this condition, but
very few prizes are won by terminal bud
flowers.

How early can I take a crOwn bud
with safety, is often asked. This will
vary with varieties and localities. Here
in New Jersey we are safe after August
20 in taking buds of any varieties except
a few late kinds that I will enumerate
shortly. This date is for the great bulk
of the varieties. Some jof the earlier
kinds, like Monrovia, are taken as early
as August 1. It is impossible to get the
plants all showing bud just the day you
want them, but if a hud is showing Au-
gust 12 to 15 it can be easily held for a
week on the plant in a semi-dormant
condition by permitting the side shoots
to grow avd pinching them at the first
joint, gradually removing them alto-
gether, in ten days to two weeks. It is
not wife to remove all the shoots at once
from around the bud, even if the date
is Dot too early. By holding one shoot
for a few days the sap is diverted from
the tiny bud, until it begins to swell.
Some exhibition growers take chances on
buds as early as August 6 to 10 and
come out all right, but they are at a
much higher altitude than we are, and
the average temperature is consequently
much lower than on the plains. On the
other hand, some growers in the middle
west claim that they can do little TVith
crown buds taken in August, as the air
is -fraeh dryer and the buds shrivel in-
stead of swelling. Personally, I think
much of this could be overcome by co-

pious spraying, making one 's town atmos-
phere, as it were, but as I have no actual
experience of the climate I merely sug-
gest such a possibility.

I mentioned that there were some va-
rieties that should not be taken on
August crowns. A list of these is as fol-
lows: Col. Appleton, Mrs. Swinburne,
Mrs. Geo. Beech, W. H. Chadwick, Yel-
low Chadwick, Jeanne Nonin, and the
old Mand Dean. It is entirely possible
that there are others.

From the second week in September
onward these kinds may be taken with
safety for the best results. Many of tnem
come all right on August buus, but the
petals are shorter and the flower not
nearly so graceful. This is particularly
true in the case of Appleton, which from
an early bud produces a heavy flower,
but it is short petaled, coarse and lumpy.

It is a good way, particularly where
one is trying new kinds, to tie a label
on certain plants, giving the time of tak-
ing the bud. This gives a certain rec-
ord when the plant flowers as to which
buds produced best results and is valua-
ble as a guide for future years. It is
impossible to carry such data in one's

should not have good success with Itoi
d'ltalie. C. H. T.

FEEDING THE PLANTS.

Mukh.

The chrysanthemum is a gross feeder
when well established, and from now on
food may be applied in greater or less
quantity, as the plants may need it.

A light mulch of rotted cow manure
is very good, and a dusting of very flne
bone applied to the beds before the
manure is put on is even better. I say.
fine bone, because the time is too short
for the plants to get very much benefit
out of it if coarse bone is used. So get
the bone flour, if you can. This mulch
helps to keep the beds from drying out
so rapidly and furnishes food, as it is
gradually washed down into the soil. The
best principle to follow in feeding is to
give a little at a time, but give it often.
A heavy dose of anything kills the feed-
ing roots and does more harm than good.
Plants in benches will run from eight to
ten weeks after planting before any
feeding will be necessary. By that time
the beds should be full of roots and in
a condition to stand fertilizers.

Chemical F«rtilizcrk.

Chemical fertilizers, carefully used, are
of great value in finishing the crop and
much of the success of the best culti-
vators is due to their judicious use. I
prefer nitrate of potash and sulphate of
ammonia, these having given me the best

ROI D'lTALIE.

Kindly let me know how to treat Roi

d'ltalie mum. What bud should be

taken and when should I take it? This

is my first experience with this variety.

A. W.

The culture of Boi. d'ltalie presents
no diflSculties other than the ordinary
ones of handling any variety. So far as
the bud is concerned, take the first one
you can now. It is perfectly safe and
you cannot go wrong on it. Feed and
water it as you do the rest of your
plants and I see no reason why you

results if used in alternate dosed and in
combination with liquid from natural
manures. The proportion of chemical
that I use is one pound in a fifty-gallon
barrel of water. This proportion will
harm nothing, but don't think that if
one pound is good two pounds would be
better and increase the amount. It is
safe to say that more plants are spoiled
by mistaken kindness than in any other
way. Chemicals are odorless and taste-
less when dissolved in water, and as they
look BO innocent, one is tempted to nse
more than he would otherwise.

A Variety of Foods.

I like to change from one thing to
another, so that -the plants have a change
of diet constantly. I hold that the feeci-

iog sjstem of a plant is om the same
Uoes as the human syetem, and that a
variety of foods will better supply the
plant's needs than a surfeit of any one
particular thing.

Liquid from natural manures may also
be used too strong. A safe proportion
is to use half a bushel of sheep or cow
manure, putting this into a sack and let-
ting it soak in fifty gallons of water for
three or four days. Chicken or pigeon
manure is very caustic in its action and
should be used in much less proportion.
A quarter of a bushel, instead of half a
bushel, would be plenty to use.

APHIS ON MUMS.

feet from floor to ridge!

The proportions for cyaniding are as
follows: One pint of water, one pint of
sulphuric acid and two and a half ounces
of cyanide of potash to each 1,500 cubic
feet of air space. Personally, I have
never had to use it on mums, as I have
always found tobacco dust euflScient for
any insects that I have had to contend

PHILOSOPHY OF VHOLESALING.

[A paper by C. B. Meeban, read before the
Florists' Club of Pblladelpbla, September 3,
1907.]

It has been suggested by a friend that
I call this short paper by the above title.
I am rather in doubt as to the amount of
philosophy contained herein, but, never-
theless, we will let the title stand.

The wholesale florist has, I believe,
done more for the advancement of the
flower business in general than any other
branch of the florists' business. He has
been the outlet for the enormous 'quanti-
ties of cut flowers which have been com-
ing to our large cities and which could
not be disposed of, in many^instances, if
it were not for him. It is his business
to hunt for business wherever he can find
it, whether it be in his home town or
whether it is 1,000 or more miles away.
He has created markets for cut flowers
and plants that would have been impos-
sible but for his push and energy. His
relations to both growers and retailers are
of a peculiar character. I have often
heard^ it said that he is " between the
devil and the deep sea," and I think this
is, in a measure, true, as he has a hard
time to please both parties. If flowers do
not bring as much as the growers think
they should, he hears about it, and if
they bring good prices, the retailer calls
him a robber and other names of like
nature, or worse.

What the Grower Has Gained.

Now, let us take up this matter from
the standpoint of what the grower has
gained. In the first place, I think it
must be generally admitted that under

with Geny Bros., of Nashville, Tenn. It
is a sport from the Pierson fern and it
dops not revert, either to the Pierson or
the Boston type. The illustration gives
a good idea of the character and growth.
Messrs. Geny Bros, think they have in
■this novelty one of the best things the
«porting proclivities of this nephrolepis
have yet produced.

present conditions there is only one right
way to sell flowers and that is through
the wholesaler.

Years ago all t&^ flowers that came to
this city were sold direct by the grower
to the store men. This was a satisfactory
way at that time, but would never do
under present conditions. Other and
more satisfactory methods have gradu-

ally been adopted and at this time I can-
not recall in our city a single instance of
a grower who, having once tried the
wholesaler, has gone back to his former
ways. This, it would seem to me. i»
fairly good evidence that it must be satis-
factory to those who try it.

The reasons for this are many. Ill the
first place, whete a man may be the finest
kind of a grower, he may be the poorest
kind of a Salesman. Also, as before
stated, there are so many flowei^s grown
around the larger centers, they could not
possibly be consumed, but have to go to
other points. The wholesaler has created
markets and business by his up-to-date
methods; he has careful men to handle
and pack the stock, storage boxes in
which to keep the stock in good condition,
proper boxes to pack in, telephones, a
place of business close to railroads and
express companies, and, in fact, has
worked and developed his business until
today he is indispensable. He, however,
cannot do business unless he has the
stock to do it with, whidi means he must
give his growers satisfaction.

I believe if the growers would see their
wholesaler more often, see how their stoek
arrived from the express company, how
it is handled, etc., and keep in closer
touch with the wholesaler, it would be to
their advantage, as many times flowers
which are in seemingly good condition
when shipped arrive in bad condition, due
to improper packing and other causes
which could be remedied, and it does seem
too bad that in a few short hours all the
work and trouble which has been taken
to produce good stock should go for
naueht, simply for the want of proper
packing, cutting or keeping. Therefore,
I say again, Mr. Grower, keep in dose
touch with your wholesaler.

Specialization Pays.

I also believe in these times of speciali-
zation that it will pay the good grower to
grow what he can grow best in quantity
rather than to grow a number of things
indifferently. Get the opinion of your
wholesaler on this. He can do better for
you if you have a large quantity of first-
class stock rather than a number of small
lots of poorer stoek. I think this is gen-
erally recognized by growers, although
some of them still send all kinds to the
wholesalers and expect the same results
as the man who sends good stock.

Tt is often said by retailers that the
price of flowers is so much higher than it
used to be, but do they take into con-
sideration that the quality is just as much
better? A wholesaler cannot sell the fine,
long-stemmed stock of today at the price
of ten years ago for short-stemmed stock
and please his growejrs.

In this connection I want to say that
the wholesaler is. accused unjustly many
times of raising prices unnecessarily, but
do his accusers ever stop to think that the
law of supply and demand does more to
control prices than any wholesaler or com-
bination of wholesalers f

One trouble with a great many of the
wholesale man's customers is that they
want to be both buyer and seller. ^ I
might also say a word in this connection
about the retailer who takes advantage of
a falling market by not dropping his
prices, but that would not be pertinent to
the subject, perhaps.

AdvantagA for Retailers.

I said, in speaking of the growers, that
a wholesaler could not do business unless
he has the stock to do it with, nor eould
he do business if he had no customers to
whom to sell. I do not believe the retail-

era are using the wholesaler to the same
advantage in our city as is done in some
other big cities. What I mean is this:
The wfaplesaler has a large stock of flow-
ers on hand usually early in the morning.
Now, it seems to me, if the retailers were
to come or send their buyer to market
they would do much better for themselves
than by ordering some of this or some of
that, several times during the day. Think
of the variety he would have to select
from. And then, too, he would often-
times be able to pick up lots of certain
stock at better figures than if he bought
only a small quantity. The wholesaler in
selling a big quantity at once would also
be able ttT make better returns to his
growers than if the stock were 'sold in
small quantities and picked over, thereby
losing value.

The Retailers' Obtigations.

It seems to me that the retailer^ gen-
erally expect a great deal more from the
wholesaler than they ought to do. I am
not speaking altogether of service, but I
do think that after the wholesaler has
used his best efforts to serve his cus-
tomer for a month, oftentimes procuring
and delivering stock at a loss, it is up to
the retailer to meet his bills promptly. I
know this to be a sore subject generally
among wholesalers, but I think our busi-
ness has grown to such proportions that
the same or better business methods
should be as effective in the florist busi-
ness as they are in others. The whole-
saler pays his growers once a month, sonrie
twice a month and some weekly, and in
order to do this he has to collect his ac-
counts on time.

I think it pays the wholesaler to culti-
vate as close business relations with his
customers as possible; try to give the
best stock and service procurable, and in
return the retailer should do his part and
show his appreciation of what has been
done for him by the wholesaler.

In conclusion I want to say that my ex-
perience in the wholesale business has
been recently acquired, and perhaps I will
know more and talk less ten years hence.
I can speak with some authority from the
grower 's standpoint, as I have had con-
siderable experience in this line, And also
a little in the retail line, so tha^ I have
had some opportunity to gather ideas
from all sides.

CONFERENCE ON HARDINESS.

Leonard Barron, secretary, has sent
out the preliminary program for the
International Conference on Plant
Hardiness and Acclimatization to be
held October 1 to 3, under the auspices
of the Horticultural Society of New
York, in the romjMT of the American In-
stitute and itt^e Museum building of
the New York Botanical Garden. The
list of those who will contribute papers
includes the names of many eminent
men, although nearly all are scientists
rather than practical plantsmen. The
widest possible scope is to be given to
the conference and the committee states
that it will welcome promises of other
titles or suggestions from people who
are interested. Communications should
be addressed to the secretary. It is
planned \o publish in one volume a com-
plete repoKt of the proceedings, whidh

should be an important contribution to
the literature of horticultural research.

CONGRESS OF HORTICULTURE.

The week of September 23-27, 1907,
is to be an important one, horticultur-
ally, at the Jamestown Exposition, In
addition to the regular meetings of the
American Pomological Society, Ameri-
can Nut Growers' Association, the So-
ciety for Horticultural Science and the
Federation of Horticultural Societies,
arrangements have been made for a
Congress of Horticulture to consider
topics of a general character covering
the various branches of horticulture.
This congress was arranged for by the
National Council of Horticulture upon
invitation of the authorities of the Ex-
position Company and or the Norfolk
Horticultural and Pomological Society.

In view of the fact that the regular
biennial session of the Pomological So-
ciety occurs the same week, all strictly
pomological subjects are omitted from
the program of the congress.

The topics are to be treated in a gen-
oral way and the aim will be to show
the present status of our actual knowl-
edge of these subjects and to point out
just where we stand in the various
branches in a manner that will be of
interest to horticulturists generally. It
is hoped that these meetings will be the
means of bringing the more or less
scattered branches into closer union, of
adding inspiration and profit to all par-
ticipants and others who may be present
and of dignifying and advancing horti-
culture in all of its branches.

It is earnestly hoped that the attend-
ance will be commensurate with the in-
terests involved. The following is the

been insufficiently syringed. There is
no better antidote for mealy bug, and a
number of other pests, than cold water
froui? the hose, used with a good pres-
sure. This, if properly * applied, should
make it about impossible for this pevSt
to secure a foothold. In order to clean
the plants, stand them out separately
where you can reach them with the hose.

lay the plants on their sides and direct
the water so as to cover every vestige of

leaf and stem. ^If properly done, it
should wash off all the bugs. Keep the
plants freely syringed in future and the
bug will not trouble you. l'

if yon wish to use some insecticide to
kill the bug, try kerosene emulsion, or
one of the nicotine extracts, using them
of treble the strength recommended for

If applied powerful enough to hurt the
pests, it would seriously injure the
plants. C. W.

THE LONDON CONVENTION.

Papers and Discussions.

The tenth annual convention of the
Canadian Horticultural Association
opened in the Board of Trade building,
London, Wednesday, August 28, with a
good attendance of florists from all over
Ontario, with representatives from Win-
nipeg, in the west, to Montreal, in the
east. Mayor Judd welcomed the asso-
ciation on behalf of the city, and on be-
half of the Board of Trade Vice-Presi-
dent A. Ti McMahen extended a hearty
welcome.

In the absence of J. H. Dunlop, who
was to respond, J. A. Campbell, of Sini-
coe. replied on behalf of the association,
thanking the mayor and Mr. McMahen
for their welcome and assuring them that
by no means would we be at all backward
in taking advantage of the city,'s hospi-
tality.

President W. J. Lawrence, of Eglin-
ton, next addressed the delegates. After
calling attention to the advances made
„^.lw by the association in the last few years,

he said he hoped all -would take a deep
interest in the proceedings of the con-
vention. He commented favorably upon
the decided improvements which have
been made in the construction of green-
houses with regard to light, durability
and strength. He said that during the
last year the association had flourished
in a manner satisfactory to all. In con-
clusion, he suggested that a uniform
price for all plants and flowers be estab-
lished.

, The secretary's and treasurer's reports
were read, giving a favorable report of
the advance made during the year and
showing the rapid strides that the asso-
ciation had made since its inaugural
meeting in London some five years ago.

A paper on * * Experience with Lilies
for the Easter Trade" was read by A.
Gilchrist, of Toronto Junction. He em-
phasized the fact that it is important to
have the lilies on the market in due time
for the Easter trade, otherwise the great-
est share of the profit is lost. He at-
tributed his own success in growing lilies
to a command of temperature at all
times, which would always produce the
desired results and have the lilies ready
for market in ample time.

After adjournment the delegates took
a special car to visit the establishment of
J. Gammage & Son, and there were treat-
ed to the hospitality for which this firm
is well known. The firm 's new range of

\

greenhouses, planted in Carnations, is in
fine condition. Their stock of palms,
ferns, etc., is all in nice shape.

In the absence of T. W. Duggan, of
the Dale estate, Brampton, the treasurer,
Mr. Simmers, read Mr. Duggan 's paper
on * ' Up-to-Date Methods ' ' at the even-
ing session.

' ' Plants Versus Flowers for Holiday
Trade ' ' was a paper written by Thomas
Manton, of Eglinton, which dealt fully
with the question, and drew a -distinc-
tion between the smaller and the larger
cities, considering that cut flowers had a
larger demand in the smaller cities, while
plants were rapidly taking the lead in
the larger places.

F. E. Pierson 's paper on * ' Greenhouse
Construction" was given at this session,
as Mr. Pierson wished to get home. This
paper was discussed at some length by
Mr. King, Mr. Fendly and others, bring-
ing out many of the points touched upon
by Mr. Pierson and giving him a chance
to explain more fully why he favored the
single wide house to the block system.

Thursday morning a number of the
delegates went up to visit the establish-
ment of F. DickSf London, and were
much pleased with the general appear-
ance of everything.

The first item of business on Thursday
1 was the reading of a paper written by
Mr. McHugh, of Dorval, Que., on "How
to Grow Exhibition Flowers of Chrysan-
themums. ' ' This paper was read by Mr.
Simmers, in the absence of the writer.

After a brief discussion the paper
' ' What Is the Best Way to Appease the
Voracity of the Storeman for Greens?"
was read by D. .J. Sinclair, of Toronto.
After explaining what the term
"greens" implied, the writer went on to
show that the cold-storage system had
made it possible to sucessfully carry
southern greens throughout the whole
season. He thought it better to establish
a system, so that the prices of greens
might remain unifojin. This paper was
discussed at muclr^ngth from both the
retail and wholesale standpoint.

"Wholesalers Retailing, from a Retail
Standpoint," by A. E. Moore, of Toron-
to, caused a great deal of discussion that
brought out many diflferent opinions. The
wholesalers were attacked for selling re-
tail at wholesale prices. The morning
session was concluded with William Gam-
mage's paper on "What Is the Best
Way to Get the Cost of Production of
Greenhouse Stock?" Many of the mem-
bers considered that his paper took a
very advanced stand in estimating values

of bench space. It was pointed out that
in other lines of business that are as
complieated as the greenhouse business,
systems of keeping the exact account of
cost hrfve been inaugurated, and there is
no doubt but that in a short time book-
keeping systems can be put into green-
house work whereby the exact cost of
each plant can be arrived at and that the
grower will know what is paying and •
what is not paying.

After the morning session the dele-
gates were entertained by the London
Horticultural Association, and after a
trolley ride around the city were lunch-
eoned, photographed and listened to some
good songs by W. J. Lawrence and
speeches by different members. At the
luncheon the president was presented, on
behalf of the association, with a cut-
glass berry bowl and water, jug. The
presentation was made by Mr. Manton,
who considered it was particularly appro-
priate, as Mr. Lawrence is a teetotaler.

The election of officers was held, so as
to save time at the eveniag session. This
resulted as follows: President, John
Walsh, Montreal; first vice-president, E.
Annandale, Toronto; secretary, A. H.
Ewing, Woodstock; treasurer, H. Sim-
mers, Toronto ; executive -^committee,
elected for three years, Messrs. Philpott,
Connor and Hunt; for two years, Mr.
Fraser, F. Dicks, W. Kehoe; one year,
J. Suckling, J, Eddy, J. Campbell; rep-
resentative to Toronto exhibition, H.
Simmefs; representatives to western fair,
W. Gammage and F. Dicks; representa-
tives to Ottawa, E. J. Mepstead and R.
Wright.

A great deal of discussion was pre-
cipitated on selecting the next place of
meeting. On account of the S. A. F. hav-
ing selected Niagara Falls for next year
it was decided to meet there also.

At the evening session the first paper
was one written by Charles Chambers,
assistant park commissioner of Toronto,
on "How to Make a Flower Show Most
Attractive to the General Public and of
Most Benefit to the Trade. ' ' This paper
was discussed at some length, especially
the part referring to competition and
judging.

One of the best papers of the conven-
tion was that read by F. C. Brown, of
the Rosery, Toronto, on ' ' Up-to-Date Re-
tail Management." A general discus-
sion ensued, in which the work of the
convention was reviewed by the different
delegates. After a lengthy discussion a
motion was made to have a committee
appointed, naming J. H. Dunlop, J. W,
Lawrence, Thomas Manton, H. Simmers
and E. Dale, to wait upon the govern-
ment to have a census of the florist in-
dustry of Ontario taken to ascertain the
amount of glass, the number of men em-
ployed, the capital invested and the year-
ly sales. It was also moved that a like
committee be appointed to wait upon the
Quebec government, it being considered
that Ontario and Quebec are the princi-
pal provinces in the flower line, that we
might get a census quicker by approach-
ing the provincial governments, and with
these figures get the federal government
to get us the complete Dominion.

LILIES FOR EASTER.

[A paper by A. Gllclirlst, of Toronto, read
Ill-fore the Canadian Ilortlcnltural Asitoclatlon.
in convention at London, Ont., Aiignst 29, 1007.]

Be on time with your Easter lilies. It

is just as important to be on time with

ypur lilies as it is to catch the last train

for the convention. A few days late
with your lilies and all the profits of the
Easter season are gone. You may try
to persuade yourself that the weather or
the bulbs, or something else, is the mat-
ter, but remember the man is the main
factor in the affair. Do not depend
on luck to bring your lilies into bloom.
Some of you will tloubtless remember
the old rhymster who tried to make
poetry out of this, and it turned out to
be philosophy. Perhaps it is worth re-
peating here. What he had to say might
save you a world of trotible in other
matters than lily forcing. '~He said:

"Luck is pluck, with your sleeves
rolled up, working to make it come out.
Bad luck is sitting on a stump, with a
pipe in your mouth, waiting till it comes
out. ' '

Importance of Being on Time.

This matter of lily forcing for Easter
has been treated so often by practical
men, and in so great a variety of ways,
that I cannot add anything hew to the
subject. ^ However, as I understand I
am expedited to tell my experience, I
may state the case squarely. ^ly ex-
perience differs little from that of other
growers. I have been uniformly suc-
cessful since I started to grow lilies,
in having them in on time for Easter, not
missing one season. I attribute my suc-
cess to care and to having a command of
temperature, in different houses, carry-
ing them from house to house, so that
they may be all in on time, keeping in
mind the fact of $10 to $12 per 100
blooms, or after Easter $3 to $5 per
100; a profit or loss in the season's
crop.

In leaving your lilies in one tempera-
ture there will be from one to six weeks'
difference in time of flowering. To have
them all come in on time requires con-
stant care and attention, and, if there is
more work attached to removing them
from house to house, yet "Happy is the
man who takes pleasure in his work. ' '

Importance of True Stock.

How to procure good bulbs is a more

difficult problem than the growing of
them. Bermudian Harrisii were at one
time all that could be desired. But, alas,
greed and cupidity have destroyed the
business. The last lot, of Harrisii bulbs
I bought were only about five per cent
Harrisii; the rest were a poor quality
of diseased longiflorums. I have given
up Bermuda stock altogether and depend
on Japan bulbs. Here, again, the ordi-
nary longiflorum is generally a mixed
lot.

Various Types of Bulbs.

For convenience I will classify the dif-
ferent types: No. 1, short, narrow leaves
and more floriferous than the other
types, really the only type worth grow-
ing. No. 2, long, broad leaves with few
flowers; not profitable. No. 3, leaves
incurved, dwarf, few or no flowers; as
soon as I detect this sort I dump them
on the rubbish heap, for it does not
l)ay to give them room in the house.
The multiflorum, if you can be sure of
getting them true, is really the best, but
I have been disappointed again and
again in purchasing this variety. I have
ordered from very reliable men, but
they are helpless in the hands of the
growers, who are entirely to blame.

The Azore lily bulbs have proved more
.reliable and comparatively free from dis-
ease, much easier to force. The only
fault they have is not producing enough
flowers to the bulb. No doubt this might
be remedied by careful selection.

It is a question in my mind if it would
not be more profitable to use storage
bulbs. They could be more easily forced
and produce better results, with the as-
surance of getting them in on time. The
dealers now have the storage of bulbs
down to a science.

Home-grown Bulbs.

The next question that should arise is,
could the bulbs not be grown profitably
in some part of our own country? If
they could be ripened properly it would
be of less importance to secure them
early. No doubt some soil and climate
could be found within the bounds of our

own country. Then we should not have
to go so far afield as 7,000 miles for our
stock. Even if the bulbs cost more money
to grow in our own country, we might
be reasonably si^re of getting what we
purchase. The ezperinent stations
should take up this work and, if success-
ful, and a proper location found, capital
and experience would soon take hold and
mak^ it a success, and a great benefit
would accrue to the trade. A few more
flowers to the plant would make it more
4)rofitable . to the florist and that is the
line most to be desired.

'^'^ Cultural Methods.

My mode of culture differs little from
that of other growers, so it is not neces-
sary to take up valuable time describing
what all already know, but I will, state
in as few words as possible some of the
distinct features of culture: Have your
soil prepared in summer, that it may be
in good condition for potting when your
bulbs arrive. Do not delay potting one
hour after their arrival. Have good loam,
four or five parts to one' part of well
rotted manure, according as the loam is
rich or poor. I put 7 to» 9-inch bulbs in
4-inch pots, shifting after they are four
or five inches high and well rooted. After
potting, put them into a violet tempera-
ture. In this northern locality it is not

worth while putting them outside, for it
soon becomes too cold to make quick
root action. I prefer keeping them very
dry; they make stronger and better root.
As soon as well rooted, gradually raise
the temperature to 65 or 70 degrees. If
buds are showing four weeks before Eas-
ter they will be in time, but it is safer
to have your buds showing five or six
weeks previous to Easter. Japan bulbs
' require hard f oircing to get them in, espe-
cially if Easter is early.

It is much easier to grow lilies than
tell how to do it in a short convention
paper. I cannot go into all the minute
details of culture. Good judgment and
experience are absolutely necessary. Tak-
ing into consideration the vagaries of
the weather and the change of date of
Easter, lily growing is no sinecure. The
public is able and willing to pay good
prices and there is no reason why the flo-
rist should not have a fair remuneration
for his labor. Do not get stampeded into
the belief that lilies are too plentiful;
the last few days before Easter will clean
them all out.

Someone had the audacity to say that
florists are not business men. That may
apply to the growers, but not to the
store men, some of whom I am sure
would make a success on Wall street.

FUMIGATING FOR GREENFLY.

With the longer and cooler nights
greenfly will be certain to make its ap-
pearance. Whilst this is one of the
most annnoying and persistent enemies
of the rose-grower, it is also one of the
easiest to control and any one who gives
its habits a close study need be in no
fear of its ravages. Tobacco in its va-
rious forms is the most effective remedy
known. For roses which are in bud or
bloom vaporizing or fumigating are the
safest and most effective.

To derive the greatest benefit from fu-
migating at this season it should be done
in the morning before sunrise, immedi-
ately after the morning's cut is taken.
At that time evaporation is at its mini-
mum, the glass is cool and the soil is
comparatively dry, which allows the
vapor or fumes to settle closer to the
soil and to cling closer to the leaves and
stems than if the work was performed
in the evening.

By keeping the ventilators closed for
twenty minutes or half an hour the
fumes will have done their work, when
syringing can be proceeded with. The
ventilation required during the day will

dissipate the odor of the tobacco before
it is time to take the evening cut.

Fumigating, when done in the evening,
is apt to leave a disagreeable stale smell
on the morning cut which is very notice-
able after the flowers have been packed
and shipped a distance. The water from
the syringe seems to cling more tena-
ciously to the leaves, giving them a wet
and bedraggled appearance which is ab-
sent after a morning fumigation.

A system of periodical fumigating
should be adopted and strictly adhered
to, once a week being suflBcient to keep
the pest in subjection.

If fumigation is deferred until the fly
becomes so numerous as to injure the
buds the amount required to effect the
purpose will be apt to destroy the luster
of the petals.

The coloring of such varieties as Rich-
monds, Beauties, Maids and Chatenay
will also lose its intensity. Eibes.

LEAF SPOT.

I inclose some rose leaves. Will you
kindly let me know what the trouble is
and how to overcome it!

I also inclose a chrysanthemum leaf,
taken from a Touset. The under side is
whitish. C. A. M.

These chrysanthemums are infested
with the fungus septoria, which causes
leaf spot. This disease spreads very rap-

idly and, if not checked, will entirely
destroy the crop.

Pinch off all affected leaves and burn
them. Syringe twice a week with the
copper solution — carbonate of copper,
three ounces; liquid ammonia, one quart;
water, fifty gallons. Use a very fine
spray and see that the whole surface of
the leaf, upper and under sides, |[ets thor-
oughly washed. This spraying Sliould be '
continued on the stock plants during win- }■
ter and in the mum house, so that the
disease may be killed before next plant-
ing time.

The roses are affected with the leaf
spot fungus and should get almost the
same treatment chemically as the chrys-
anthemums. As there is also a. trace of
burning on the rose leaves, evidently pro-
duced by some substance used as a
spray, this ought to be discontinued or
used in a weaker form. Bibes. <

Carried over roses.

I have never carried roses over till this
year. On the side benches the cut back
canes are, in some cases, only two feet
from the glass. Is it necessary to tie
them down? They have begun to grow
and the tying ought to be done at once
if necessary. C. A. M.

Where the glass is only two feet re-
moved from the bench there is not suffi-
cient head room for carried over roses
of the varieties you grow. To get the
best of the situation, the wood should
be bent over at right angles at about six
inches from the ground. This should be
done at once and all small blind wood
should be removed. As soon as growth
commences, give a mulch of about one
inch in depth. Syringe twice a day dur-
ing bright weather and keep the new
growth tied up. Rises.

roses as bedding stock.

Kindly inform me as to what kind of
winter care I shouW give to Bride,
Bridesmaid, Uncle John and Richmond
when used as outdoor bedding roses in
summer. L. R. K.

This class of. roses, when used entire-
ly for bedding purposes, should, if
wanted to stay in the beds, be mulched
immediately after the first frost. This
mulch should be spaded in in April.
This is usually all the care required.

A very successful way to treat these
roses is to lift them as soon as they
shed their* leaves and heel them in in
a coldframe or pit, well protected. As
soon as the winter is past they should be
brought out, potted and started, and as
soon as the weather is favorable they
should be planted out. Rises.

The accompanying illustration is from
the latest photograph of the mammoth
greenhouse recently completed at the
Florex Gardens, North Wales, Pa. The
house is 156 feet wide and 575 feet long.
It is of truss construction, but the roof
is supported by six rows of posts. The
ridge is thirty-two feet high and, as is
shown in the illustration, the heating
pipes are next the glass. The house now
contains 45,000 Beauty plants, from the
earliest planted second-year stock, the
first flowers having been cut during con-

house and will watch closely the results
obtained from it. The average rose grow-
er feels that the ventilation in a house
of this width, and with no sash except at
the ridge, is less than he would want,
■especially for Beauties. The height of
the house certainly makes for the easy
■control of the temperature, although the
arratigement of heating pipes is novel.
As the photograph shows, the interior of
the house, gives the appearance of a cir-
cus tent, with its forest of supports and
its many lines of pipes beneath the glass.
It is understood the proprietors of this
remarkable house are now considering the
provision of side ventilation.

GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION.

[A paper by F. R. Plerson, of Tarrytown, N.
Y., read before the Canadian Horticultural
Assoclatton, In convention at London, Ont.,
August 29, 1907.]

The question as to the best style of
greenhouse construction is a most im-
portant one. As our business has wid-
ened and developed, the necessity for in-
creased facilities has arisen, as in other
mercantile lines. The ocean steamers of
twenty years ago bear about the same
relation to the leviathans that are now-
being built, as the small greenhouses of
twenty years ago bear to the large struc-
tures that are now being erected, any
one of which is as large and covers as
much ground as was covered formerly by
an entire establishment composed of
eight, ten or more houses. In the earlier
days of our business a number of houses
was not only desirable, but necessary.
In our business, however, as in other
branches of trade, we are fast becoming
specialists, growing one kind of flower
or plant and these in immense quantities.
As conditions have changed, the size of
the buildings has naturally increased.
Twenty y^ars ago 11-foot houses were
;in the majority; then came the three-

quarter span, eighteen to twenty feet
in width. In fact, fifteen years ago,
when we built a new range of four iron
houses, each 20x300 feet, it was consid-
ered a model range and was much in ad-
vance of anything that had been built
up to that time. Visitors came from
everywhere to inspect it. But times have
changed, and changed rapidly, and our
first model range has been duplicated to
such an extent in the meantime that it
has long ago become commonplace. At
that time, however, these light houses
were muT*h in advance of the houses in
general use.

Ridge and Furrow Construction.

But as the business grew and the ne-
cessity for larger houses became appar-
ent, what is now known as the ridge and
furrow open construction was introduced.
For economy in construction and the re-
turns on the investment, these are un-
doubtedly more economical and profit-
able than the 20-foot, separate, east and
west construction. This style has re-
cently been greatly improved in details
by the use of light iron gutters, by the
increased height of the gutter line, by
the use of larger glass, requiring fewer
sashbars, and by the use of light trusses
or posts, thus increasing the width of the
houses. This improvement in details has
resulted in an admirable structure, wliieh
is capable of indefinite extension, only
limited by the quantity to be grown of
one thing.

This ^tyle has many champions, and
fine examples of it can be seen in the
immense establishment at Brampton and
in other Canadian cities, such as Toronto,
Ottawa, etc. It has also been adopted
very largely in the vicinity of Chicago,
where immense ranges have been and are
being built, and where roses and carna-
tions are the crops.

Advantages of Single House.

I believe, however, that the old idea of
single, separate houses, running east and
west, and greatly enlarged in width, is
preferable to the ridge and furrow type
of house. Of course, I am speaking from
the standpoint of the cut flower grower,
to whom sunlight in the midwinter
months of December, January and Feb-
ruary is of especial importance. For
plant growing, of course, especially palms
and foliage plants, the ridge and furrow
open construction is ideal, but for cut
flower growing I consider the wide, sepa-
rate, east and west houses immensely su-
perior, as these houses certainly get much
more sunlight, especially in the short
midwinter days. In fact, this is where-
in their superiority exists, and as win-
ter is the season of the year when flow-
ers command the highest prices, it is of
the utmost importance to the grower that
he get every ray of sunlight that can
possibly be secured. Such a season as
we experienced last winter makes this
doubly apparent.

The argument in favor of the ridgo
and furrow open construction has been
that it costs less to build, and for the
money expended the results obtained were
in its favor, but by increasing the width
of the east and west single house this
advantage disappears. In contemplat-
ing a large addition to our establishment
last year, I went into the comparative
cost of the two styles and obtained esti-
mates for exactly the same area, and
while the single east and west house was
the very best style of flat rafter steel
construction and the ridge and furrow
was of the semi-iron construction only, I
found there was only six per cent dif-
ference on the total investment in favor
of the ridge and furrow construction, a
difference so small that the difference

in one week's crop at the holidays might
offset the entire extra cost.

Superior Ventilation.

With the question of cost settled, I
think the advantages in favor of the sin-
gle, wide, east and west house are un-
questionable. Not only is much more
sunlight obtained in the short, dark mid-
winter days when the sun is at its low-
est meridian, but much more ventilation
can be given. In fact, I have been sur-
prised to see how much is necessary in
the coldest midwinter weather, when
other houses could be given little, if any.
Of course, this superior ventilation adds
to the general health of the plants, giv-
ing stronger stems and increasing the
quantity of flowers. Take a dull, dark
winter, such as last winter was, and the
importance of this is better appreciated,
for it is a well settled fact that the
more air that can be given the better for
the plants. It is then that the ad-
vantage of this type of housie is seeu at
its best.

"We get better ventilation in these
houses in the summer also, as the side
ventilation is a great advantage, mak-
ing the houses airy and cool. Some have
thought that these houses would be dif-
ficult to heat. On the contrary, they are
much easier heated than the smaller and
lower houses. It is not the volume of
air that costs to heat; it is rather the
amount of glass exposed to the outside

air can be given in these houses in zero
weather than can be given in the smaller
and lower ones.

Gxt of Operation.

So far as the cost of operation is con-
cerned,. I see no advantage in either.
The single large house can be built as
large as one needs, as large as there is
any advantage in. We are building now
fifty-six feet in width, but there is no
reason why that cannot be greatly in-
creased if one wishes — say seventy-five
or even 100 feet in width, but, of course,
the greater the width the higher the
ridge would necessarily have to be. In
commencing a new range several years
ago, we started with a width of fifty-
six feet, and will continue that for the
present, principally for the sake of uni-
fermity, as there is no other good reason
for not increasing it; yet little would be
gainejL for we now get about all the
economy in operation possible. The only
advantage in greater width would be
a possible very slight decrease in the
cost of construction.

We have all been interested in the
monster house erected this year a* North
Wales, Pa. — 154 feet in width,^^ believe
— and we admire the faith and enterprise
of its projectors, but I fail to' see any
special advantage in such extreme size.
In this case, in order to avoid the exces-
sively high ridge a flat roof has resulted,
which I consider most objectionable, both

air, and there is little if any more ex-
posure in these . houses than in the con-
nected ridge and furrow ones. In fact,
the larger volume of air in these large
houses cools more slowly and is subject
to much less fluctuation. This large
volume of air is also a reason why more

on account of the liability of drip in
rainy weather and also from the lodg-
ment of snow in winter. The roof be-
ing so flat, I doubt if the snow would
slide off readily. So, while I am an
advocate of the single wide house, there
are limitations to be reckoned with, and

reasons for not building tp such an ex-
treme width.

Speaking From Experience,

In advocating the single wide house,
I speak from experience, as we have sev-
eral ranges of the most modern and per-
fected type of the ridge and furrow con-
nected houses, as well as the large, wide,
separate houses. We are now building
the latter type of houses and believe
fully and unqualifiedly that they are the
best type, all things considered, for the
cut flower grower. These light, steel,
airy structures, with reinforced concrete
sides, such as we are now building, elim-
inating all woodwork except the sashbarS
and ventilating sash, offer little or no
obstruction to the light. It is really
getting back to first principles and is
following out the same principle that
the market gardeiler, who is dependent
on sunlight only, is compelled to observe
in placing his coldframes. So I think
all will agree with me that an east and
west house, facing south, gets more sun-
light than the connected ridge and fur-
row house.

There is an all too prevalent idea, even
among florists, that the temperature or
warmth is the necessary factor, but that
this is not so is shown most conclusively
in the dull winter days, when the growth
becoiiies weak and the plants stop bloom-
ing. It is the province of the florists to
aid nature, and the house that will admit
the most sunlight, other things being
equal, is the best style of structure.

THE CHRISTMAS SWEET PEAS.

History of the Strain.

Anton C. Zvolanek, of Bound Brook,
N. J., has achieved an international fame
through the strains of Christmas flower-
ing sweet peas which he has developed.
These have made their way all over the
world and have given excellent results
under glass on both continents. In -the
Review of July 26, 1906, Mr. Zvolanek
gave the story of the origination of these
varieties and it has since created a vast
amount of discussion, especially in Eng-
land. The story of these sweet peas as
Mr. Zvolanek tells it is in brief as fol-
lows:

"About twenty-five years ago I made
my first experiments in raising sweet
peas in winter under glass. 1 tried all
varieties which were at that date ob-
tainable, but could never raise a plant
which would give flowers before the lat-
ter part of April. After several years
of such experiments I came to the con-
clusion that it was impossible to get
sweet peas earlier than the time men-
tioned, from the present varieties, so I
started cross-fertilization with others,
among them the lathyrus, but the first
few years Avithout success. I obtained
several new varieties, a few of which
were double-flowered, but I did not suc-
ceed in getting a free-flowering plant
until I made a cross with the European
vetch, largely grown on farms in central
Europe as green fodder.

"About October, 1891, I sowed some
of this seed which I had hybridized with
the vetch, and the following January 1,
1892, I was surprised to^find two little
plants, each with one 'open flower and
several buds. The flowers were, very
small, color a reddish-pink, and not of
much value, the plants growing only to a
height of twenty-four inches under glass.
But I was satisfied with this for a start,
I and increased the seed all I possibly

could. I crossed and re-crossed each
year, and •ach new hybrid showed im-
provement over the previous one, in size
of flower, color, length of stem, and in
the plant itself. The first seedling of
value which appeared was obtained from
Blanche Ferry; it came of the same
color, but the plant was only twenty
inches high, under glass, and produced
only about ten single flowers; but after
much crossing and re-crossing with the
parent variety, I secured fine, lonji-
stemmed, large flowers, plants over six
feet high, which were covered with masses
of bloom all winter. The first sort was
named Christmas Pink.

' ' I now have a large number of vari-
eties in all existing colors. All these va-
rieties, when grown under glass, begin to
bloom when three to four feet high, and
continue flowering all winter, sometimes
until June. ' '

Working: Up Stock.

The stock of seeds has steadily been
increased, but Mr. Zvolanek finds it neces-
sary each year to grow his stock seed
under glass as in the beginning, because
the varieties quickly run out and revert
to the ordinary types of spring flower-
ing peas if not so handled. La.st year
he secured about forty pounds of stock
seed in his greenhouses. This seed was
planted in the Santa Clara valley in Cali-
fornia and in a little valley in Austria,
about ten miles from Trieste, where for
an area perhaps two miles wide and ten
miles long the climate is practically the
same as that of the Santa Clara valley in
California. If anything it is a trifle
more favorable for the growing of sweet
peas, because rain rarely falls during
the flowering season. Mr. Zvolanek says
that the reason he never could grow
sweet pea seed outdoors at his home in
New Jersey is that rain always fell dur-
ing the flowering season and ruined the
crop.

It is a peculiar fact Mr. Zvolanek has
found that European growers of sweet
peas for cut flowers will have none of
this seed grown in Europe. They want
the California product, and claim they
get better results with the American

seeds, but the seed grown in Austria is
brought here and does excellently for
forcing for Christmas flowers.

Mr. Zvolanek says he has frequent of-
fers for his entire crop of seed, which
this season he expects to be some 3,000
pounds. Every now and then some whole-
sale seedsman wants to buy it by the
ton, but he prefers to continue handling
it as heretofore, in packages direct by
mail to the planters. He began sending
these packets out several years ago and
has steadily extended the circle of his
customers- until now he has a list of
3,000 florists, not only in the United
States, but covering practically ¥very
country in the world, who send to him
direct for seeds each year.

Two Sweet Pea Houses.

In the accompanying illustrations the
two interior views were taken at dif-
ferent dates. One of the pictures shows
one of Mr. Zvolanek 's houses of sweet

peas at Christmas week in 1906. There
are several varieties in the house, mostly
lavender, salmon and blue. These were
sown in the first part of September,
in 5-inch pots, and were planted in the
latter part of October, following a crop
of the earliest chrysanthemums, which
had held the houses up to that date.
Because of the unusually dark weather
of November and December the peas
were later than usual and did not reach
perfection for Christmas as usual.

The second interior view is another
house of sweet peas photographed the
week before Easter. These were from
seeds sown about the middle of October,
in 4-inch pots, and planted out in the
first days of December, following a crop
of late chrysanthemums. Cutting began
about Februafy 20 and a heavy crop was
produced until June 10. Each of these
greenhouses is 31x200, with side walls
seven feet high. The peas are grown in
solid beds, the compost being renewed
once a year.

Ne^tf Sorts.

Mr. Zvolanek began with only one vari-
ety, Christmas Pink, but he has now ex-
tended his list to include practically
every color. Among the new sorts short-
ly to be introduced he considers Mrs. Wm.
Sim and Mrs. George Lewis to be among
the best. The Mrs. Sim is a salmon-
pink self, a new color in sweet peas.
This and another variety called Le Mar-
quis, a large dark blue of the same
shade as the Princess of Wales violet,
will be sent out this season. The Mrs.
Lewis is a white sort and because of a
short crop of seed this year will not be
sent out until 1908. The illustrations
give an idea of the growth of these va-
rieties.

A Word Biographically.

Anton C. Zvolanek landed in New
York in 1888. He was born in Krusen-
burk, Bohemia, Austria, September 13,
1862, and acquired a public school educa-
tion prior to his thirteenth year, when he
chose commercial floriculture as a profes-
sion. From that time to this he has been
engaged in his chosen occupation, his
experience embracing almost every de-
partment of the trade. For thirteen
years he worked in leading European es-

tablishments, embracing practically every
horticultural center except those in Eng-
land, which country he never visited.

Arriving in New York, Mr. Zvolanek's
first position was with W. C. Krit-k, in
Brooklyn. Then he took charge of the
greenhouses of Koge Bros., in West Ho-
boken, going from there to the estab-
lishment of Thomas Young, at Jersey
City. After a time he returned to West
Hoboken to work for Emil Leuly. In all
these places roses, carnations and pot
plants were the specialties, but in each
establishment Mr. Zvolanek managed to

reserve a corner for his favorite, the
sweet pea, which he always had the fac-
ulty of growing especially well.

In 1890 he leased greenhouses in Grand
View, which he conducted for fifteen
years. In 1905 he built his present plant
at Bound Brook, where he grows chrys-
anthemums and sweet peas for the New
York market. This spring he made a
trip to California, his first one to the
west, to see his peas growing there and
to acquaint himself also with the great
seed-growing industry in the Santa Clara
valley.

Show Pelargoniums.

Plants of show pelargoniums which
have been on their sides, resting for a
few weeks, will now have lost most of
their foliage and the wood will be mostly
of a brown, nutty color. These should
now be pruned back to within two or
three eyes of the previous year's growth,
turned out of the pots and repotted into
smaller receptacles. Shake away all the
soil and cut back the long roots. If your
plants have been in 6-inch pots they
should go into 4-inch. If in 8-inch, they
can be squeezed into 5-inch. Use a com-
post of fibrous loam, well rotted manure
and sand. Pot firmly. Give one good
watering, then keep on the dry side at
the root until the plants start to break.
Two or three light sprayings a day will
1)6 found helpful. The plants will do
well in a coldframe for some weeks yet,
and a light shade after repotting for a
few days will be beneficial.

Cuttings inserted a few weeks ago
ought now to be riooted and potted off.
If you omitted putting any in, save the
tops of the plants as you prune them.
Even quite Hhrd wood devoid of foliage
will root, alth<»ugh it takes longer than
soft, green wjWwl with leaves. These
cuttings can be grown into excellent 6-
inch or 8-inch plants by spring and any-
one doing a local retail trade can always
dispose of a fair number.

Gklceolarias.

With cooler nights calceolarias are
making better growth. In the hot sum-
mer months they seem to make but little
headway. Do not allow the plants to be-
come crowded in the flats before potting,
i Green aphis is partial to both cinerarias
and calceolarias and a layer of tobacco
stems should be laid in the bottom of the
frame. If renewed fortnightly it will
keep this pest in check. A liglit compost
of loam, leaf-mold, old rotted manure,
with a dash of charcoal well powdered,
and sand, makes a suitable compost.
Pot the plants moderately loosely in the
early stages, but firmer when they go
into their flowering pots. Remove sashes
to allow night dews to fall on the plants
and look out for cabbage-worms, which
are fond of the foliage and will quickly
destroy the plants if given a free hand.
Cuttings of Calceolaria rugosa may
now be put in sand in a cool house or
coldframe. Kept well watered, they will
be well rooted in about three weeks.
There are several colors, but the yellow
form, Golden Gem, is the best. Grown
along in a cold house and flowered in
0-inch pots, it makes a beautiful deco-
rative plant, being also well adapted for
cutting. Plants may be raised from
seeds if cuttings are not procurable. Cal-'
ceolarias need a cold house at all times.
Any coddling will quickly ruin them.

Dutch Bulbt.

Early consignments of Dutch bulbs are
coming to hand and are of extra good
quality. A few sorts needed for early
forcing should be gotten into flats with-
out delay. La Beine, that most valuable

of all forcing tulips, is one; Trumpet
Major, or single Von Sion narcissus, is
another. While it is possible to get a
few of them in for Christmas, by hard
forcing, \ve question if the quality and
quantity of flowers obtained make it
worth while. The dwarf Due Voni;Tholl
tulip, in several colors, may be had in
bloom earlier than any other sort. TTiey
have short stems and have never attained
any great popularity in America.

Flats containing four inches of soil
will answer for any of the bulbs named.
A light, moderately rich compost, one
containing well pulverized old manure,
is ideal, sand being added to give it
porosity. For other varieties of Dutch
bulbous stock there need be no immediate
rush about getting the bulbs in the soil.
Unpack the cases, however, and lay the
bulbs in flats in a cool room until needed.
Do not leave them tied up in the paper
bags.

the tops of the leading shoots to make
the plants bushy, also removing all flow-
ers. A light shade only is needed.

While Lorraines are best in a cool
house when flowering, they do much bet-
ter in a temperature of 60 degrees at
night until the blooming season starts.
Place in larger pans before the roots
become matted. If plants are small, it
is best to use several in a pan. Six-inch
pans will grow fine plants of a useful
size . for retail trade, while 8-ineh ones
make handsome specimens. Lorraines
like a light compost. One containing
plenty of good leaf -mold and spent hot-
bed manure seems exactly to their
liking.

Cyclamens.

Cyclamens, like many other plants,
take on additional vigor as the heated
summer period wanes. The best place
for them yet a while is in coldframes,
where they can obtain an abundance of
pure air and be shaded from the heat
of the noonday sun. Sashes are better
left off at night, unless heavy rain
threatens. They can also be left off ad-
vantageously during the daytime when
there is but little sun. Do not place the
shadings over the frame too early in
the morning and remove them not later
than 4 o 'clock in the afternoon. A little
sun helps cyclamens and many other
plants. It warms the pots and promotes
root action. Many plants are half ruined
by overshading, cyclamens being one of
them.

Any plants not yet given their final
shift should be attended to at once. From
4-inch they can go into 6-inch and from
5-inch into 7-inch. Some growers flower
their stock in as small sizes as 4-inch
and 5-inch pots, but such plants cannot
hold a candle to the larger ones, no mat-
ter how carefully they may be fed.

Seed sown a few weeks ago is germi-
nating nicely and paper covers have been
removed. The flats will need some shade
on the glass over them, but should be
placed well up to the light. These will
do better in a greenhouse than a frame
and if a temperature of 55 degrees at
■ight can be kept up they will grow well.

Mignonette.

Mignonette being grown in pots will

need a few small pieces of brush placed
so as to keep the shoots erect. Pinch out
the tops of the shoots and grow the
plants as cool and airy as possible. They
need full sunlight and must be looked
over carefully for the green worms which
love to eat their foliage. Plants in beds
and benches are starting to grow quite
fast. Flowers are not needed for some
time yet and it is best to pinch back all
leading shoots. Supports should be given
the plants before they are grown too far.
Some use brush stuck in at intervals. We
really prefer this to strings. It does not
look so artistic, but we think answers
well for the grower who has only a
bench or two of mignonette. Scratch
over the soil frequently and keep all
weeds picked out.

Chrysanthemtims.

The season of early chrysanthemums is
close at hand and for some time mums
will call for a good deal of our attention.
Tying, disbudding and the removal of
weeds and decaying foliage takes up con-
siderable time. Each year many of us
aver that we will grow less mums, but
each succeeding fall we are found grow-
ing the usual quota and trying a few
novelties. There is something of a charm
ia the culture of the queen of autumn,
such as we cannot derive from any other
plant.

Any plants which have been grown in
bush form outdoors or on benches in-
doors should have been potted before
this. If kept well watered and frequently
sprayed they will soon fill the pots with
roots. We do not consider that such
plants will for a moment compare with
pot-grown ones, but many still follow
this practice and get fairly satisfactory
plants. There is a growing tendency
towards single flowering varieties in Eu-
rope, and this year they promise to be
much in evidence at tBe fall shows. Most
of them make splett^id pot plants and
wide-awake growers would do well to
make a note of the better kinds at the
exhibitions.

Brief Reminders.

Soft cuttings of perennial phloxes
placed in flats of sandy soil in a cold-
frame will make nice stock for another

season. This will bloom much earlier
than spring-rooted cuttings.

Reduce the shading on cattleyas, coelo-
gynes and dendrobiums. Place any of
the latter which have well matured their
growths in a cooler and airy house, with
plenty of sun.

Stake poinsettias on the benches be-
fore they become bent. Grow tbem cool
still. They need heat when the bracts
are being developed, but should not be
coddled now.

Finish putting in cuttings of any ten-
der plants as soon as possible. Frosts
usually arrive in September.

Do not leave Lilium candidum lying
around unpotted. Be sure to give them
a light, sunny place outdoors until No-
vember.

Put in cuttings of Ampelopsis Veitchii,
Euonymus radicans and English ivy. All
will root freely in an ordinary propagat-
ing bench. /^

Give hydrangeas and rambler roses
plenty of sun and a reduced water sup-
ply.

Keep genistas well pinched or clipped
into shape. Put a batch of cuttings in
now in a cool house.

HARDY PERENNIALS.

In the last few years the demand for
hardy perennials has increased wonder-
fully, and this not at all because of a
falling off in the demand for the class
of plants commonly known as bedding
plants, but rather because of a wider and
more extended knowledge of the merits
of hardy plants for purposes to which
the others were not put. In years gone
by, herbaceous plants were not given
anything like the attention by growers
that they are now receiving. Not so long
ago it was uncommon to grow these
plants in large numbers in pots, but
now there are vast numbers so grown and
sold every year, in the autumn and
spring.

Pot plants of most kinds of peren-
nials are the most satisfactory in vari-
ous ways; they are easier to ship and
they invariably succeed better in the
hands of those who are intended ulti-

mately to grow them than plants lifted
out of the open ground.

In planting perennials some consider-
ation should be given to the fact that
these plants are to remain where planted
for a longer period than bedding plants
and consequently more care is necessary
in the preparation of the soil for their
occupai^cy.

A gOQ^, strong loam above a clay sub-
soil will li^ found th^ most suitable fo^:.
these plants, gener?illy speaking, but no
matter what the nature of the subsoil is,
if the loam is shallow, say not more than
six inches, it should be tilled in so as to
make it at least a foot in^lepth. Before
planting, a good dressing of well rotted
manure should be given to the soil and
this thoroughly dug and incorporated
with the soil. Drainage is essential to
the proper development of nearly all
plants, and herbaceous perennials are no
exception to the rule. R. R.

BOSTON.

The Market. -^ ,

While (l^mand for flowers remains
light, better prices are being obtained
for such as are arriving. Asters continue
to dominate the market. Prices .as high
as $3 per hundred have been made by
first-class stock, and long stems, but or-
dinary stock has sold much cheaper. With
some growers these are a total failure,
owing to the prolonged drought. Carna-
tions are few in quantity and are

and speciosum, the latter now coming
from outdoors. Hydrangea paniculata.
grandiflora is among th^ outdoor flowers
seen, which just now ar* i^oi of especially
good quality.

QubFieUDay.

A heavy shower the night prior to the
field day som^wh^t relieved th? drought
and clear skies the following day made
ideal conditions for the field day August
31, at the Bay State Nurseries, at North
Abington. About fifty journeyed on the
12:43 train from Boston. Other arrivals
swelled the attendance to seventy-five, in-
cluding a dozen ladies. The party was
met on arrival by W. H. Wyman, the
proprietor, and his foreman, Mr. Bennett,
and conducted to a restaurant, where an
excellent dinner was served. Mr. Wyman,
in a few well chosen remarks, welcomed
the visitors and hoped they would spend
a pleasant afternoon. He was warmly
applauded. After cigars had been
passed, the party boarded coaches and
automobiles and made a tour of the sev-
eral nurseries, all of which were found
in splendid condition. The cleanliness
pervading every department was freely
commented on, weeds being allowed no
foothold. Mr. Wyman 's holdings in
Abington and vicinity are 350 acres in
extent, over 100 acres being in nursery
stock; of this, ten acres are devoted to
herbaceous perennials.

The blocks of evergreens, maples and
other shade trees and deciduous shrubs
were all in grand condition. The severe

l)lock8 of phloxes made an especially bril-
liant show, while liatris, gypsophila, as-
ter, kniphofia, veronica, helianthus, bol-
tonia and other seasonable flowers were
very attractive.

lightful and instructive day's p\iting.

Various Notes.

The annual auction sale of stalls at
the Boston Cooperative Flower Market,
more popularly known af the Music Hall
market, was held August 29, with a large
attendapce of growers. Over 100 stalls
were disposed of at an average premium
of about $45, the highest being $102.50.
Quite a number of new men purchased
stalls and the sale was the beat yet held.

Everything is in readiness for the auc-
tion sale of stalls at Park Street market
September 7. An excellent sale is looked
for.

Mr. and Mrs. D. Finlaysop returned
home September 2. after the convention,
the Jamestown exposition and other
sights were enjoyed, finishing up with a
trip up the Hudson river.

The dahlia show at Horticultural hall
September 4 and 5 was a big one in spite
of the drought. All the big- grower* sent
exhibits.

Mr, and Mrs. David Lumsden and fam-
ily are visiting friends in Detroit.

William Sim has had a most successful
season with tomatoes. Having practically
his entire plant devoted to them, he was
enabled to market an enormous quantity
at very profitable prices.

H. M. Robinson & Co. are doing a nice
summer trade. Hardy ferns are costing
them more, but the quality is good just
now.

Bulb dealers are busy unpacking large
arrivals of Dutch and F.rench bulbs which
came to hand last week. The quality
seems to be exceptionally good and de-
mand promises to be larger than ever, es-
pecially for outdoqr planting.

Thomas J. Grey was much benefited by
his recent European trip and his stock of
humorous stories has been materially aug-
mented.

W. W. Rawson & Co. will provide spe-
cial cars to Marblehead September 21, for
the club field day to their dahlia grounds.

Mrs. E. M. Gill, of Medford, was one
of the ladies present at the last club field
day and seemed thoroughly to enjoy it.
For a lady of 78 years she is remarkably
active. There have been few meetings of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
in a long term of years which she has not
attended and she invariably has some
exhibit at the various shows.

The New England Dahlia Society held
its annual meeting at Horticultural hall,
September 4, at 2 p. m. The membership
continues to grow apace. '

Anomatheca Cruenta.

I have read with interest in the Re-
view of August 22 E. V. Hallock's paper
on "Hardy Bulbs and Roots," and note
he utterly condemns Anomatheca cru-
enta, from which I assumed that garden
culture was referred to. The second
paragraph of the article may, however,
also justify the inference that the ex-
perience cited was with bulbs grown un-
der glass. My desire is to pay tribute
to nn elegant decorative plant. Having

so-called red freesia, I can say that it
is as easy to grow as the freesia and as
positive to flower, and free, while the
bloom is brilliant and durable. Seed is
freely produced and self-sown seeds un-
der favorable conditions will, I believe,
flower the following season. In later
stages of growth the anomatheca will
enjoy even more copious watering than
the freesia. The flowering season is
from April to June, but it may be had
earlier. I can recommend it as a gem
for the amateur. Theo F. Beckert.

CONVENTION VIEWS.

The accompanying illustrations are
from photographs taken during the 8.
A. F. convention in Philadelphia. The
first view shows the grotto of M. Biee
& Co. This grotto was an artistic
triumph, every trace of the warehouse
being removed or hidden from the base-
ment by the really beautiful decorations
of beech and birch foliage over dra-
peries, with sweet scented pine, and
flowers on the tables. The second view
shows the store as you entered the office
on the right, the showcases and walls in
gala attire.

In describing the grotto, Rice & Co.
say: "It was about eighty feet long,
the sides and walls bieing covered with
red rep cloth, covered with birch and
beech sprays, and pine branches. Each
side of the grotto was divided by
wicker decorating screens into six booths,
the screens being decorated with birch
and beech sprays and natural flowers.
The center of the grotto was arched
from booth to booth. The whole
effect was certainly very fine, and was
favorably commented on by some of the
best decorators who visited Philadel-
phia. Each booth contained a table at
which foqr or five persons could be com-
fortably seated, and was decorated with
a vase of fresh flowers, which were
changed daily. The grotto was opened

every day from Tuesday until Friday,
from 9 a. m. until 9 p. m., and refresh-
ments were served to over 600 people.
' ' The store was handsomely decorated

with many novelties, showing the
florists how same could be used to good
advantage. ' '

ASPARAGUS SF^ENGEHI.

Will Asparagus Sprengeri grow suc-
cessfully planted in a solid bed between
rows of sweet peas? HoW can I grow it
best, in benches or solid beds? B. S. B.

Asparagus Sprengeri will grow well
either in solid beds or in benches. The
latter give more sprays during the win-
ter and are, therefore, to be preferred.
We have never seen Sprengeri grown be-
tween sweet peas. The temperature
would be a little low. Sweet peas prefer
45 degrees to 48 degrees at night in win-
ter, while the Sprengeri will do much
better if kept 5 degrees to 10 degrees
warmer. If you care to try the experi-
ment, however, we think you will have
fair success until the sweet peas grow
tall enough to shut out the light too
much. We are afraid many of the sprays
would be trampled upon in giving the
sweet peas the necessary attention.

Why not try double or single violets
between the pweet peas? These could be
pulled out in early spring. They would
give you a nice lot of flowers all winter.
It will be more satisfactory to grow the
as]iaragus in benches by itself. C W.

DEUTSCHE CYCASGESELLSCHAFT.

A firm has been established in Berlin
under this title. The objects of the un-
dertaking consist in furthering the in-
terests of manufacturers of prepared cy-
cas leaves in particular^ in introducing
and carrying out arrangements having
for their purpose the, joint sale of these
goods, so as to prevent unhealthy com-
petition, and the obtaining of suitable
prices and payment. The capital amounts
to 25,500 mk., and the secretary is Dr.
Phil. Fritz Schulte, in Berlin. ^Horticul-
tural Trade Journal.

EXPRESS RATES REDUCED;

I beg to report that August 27 the ex-
press rates of the United States Ex-
press Co. from Madison, N. J., and other
points were reduced from $1 td-60 cents.

This result of the appeal of the S. A.
F. to the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion is a handsome illustration of the use-
fulness of the society to the florists'
trade. It is one of many arguments for
a larger membership and for a conse-
quent larger purse, which would ef-
fectively equip it for more such work.
Frank L. Moore.

THE DEATH ROLL.

Thomas Gunn.

Thomas Gunn died August 22, at his
home, 1441 South Salina street, Syra-
cuse," N. Y., where he h^d lived with his
sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Pycroft. He was
72 years old, had been a resident of that
part of the city for nearly thirty years
and had been engaged for many years
in the florists' trade.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. ^

["Daffodils — Narcissus and How to Grow
Them," by A. M. Klrby, 235 pages, profusely
Illustrated. Doubleday, Page & Co., New York,
publishers; price fl.lO net.]

This volume is uniform with its prede-
cessors in the Garden Library series of
Doubleday, Page & Co. The author, A.
M. Kirby, is favorably known to many
in the trade as the head of the bulb and
flower seed department of the seed house
of Peter Henderson & Co. This book is
specially valuable because the ratings
given to each variety show what they are
capable of under American conditions.
The garden value of the variety has been
kept prominently in mind, even in the
classification, leading, for example, to the
group of the ' * lesser trumpets. ' *

The text naturally divides into two
parts: (1) Cultural, including com-
mercial production of cut flowers in the
field and under glass; (2) A critical ap-
praisement of all the varieties commonly
in the trade (about 500) costing $5 a
bulb and less. The illustrations are de-
signed to show, the character of the lead-
ing sections and follow in natural se-
quence; and the key will help anyone to
properly place any flower.

The price of the book is $1.10 net, or
$1.21 postpaid, at which the Beview will
supply any of the volumes of the Gar-
den Library series, as follows: "Roses

Mpntl'in The Review when .von write.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The demand shows some improvement,
and the sentiment in the market is that
September will be a good month. The
out-of-town buyers are being heard from
regularly, with a promise of an early
active demand, especially if the month is
a cool one. City business is not yet
large.

The supply of-roses is above the nor-
mal at this season. Indeed, the first of
the week saw an unwieldy supply of all
varieties of roses except Beauty, follow-
ing one or two abnormally warm days.
Monday night saw the market with a
«on8iderable proportion of the day's rose
receipts still in wholesalers' ice-boxes,
and Tuesday did not suflBce to clear them
out. The quality of roses generally is
excellent. Beauties are not enough for
the demand, but Richmond is in espe-
cially large supply.

There are no considerable receipts of
carnations, but the market is easing a
little in this department. Asters have
been in the heaviest supply of the season
for the last week, and even the best stock
has been going to waste. One whole-
saler avers that the waste of asters in the
last week of August was greater than
the waste during the glut of the early
varieties. Some splendid stock is seen.

There are enormous receipts of gladi-
oli, and it is impossible to clear them all
out at anything like fair prices, for the
quality is poor. Hydrangeas and other
<iutdoor flowers also are abundant and
slow sale. There was a flurry in lilies
the first of this week. It seems that
jiractically all the houses which have been

making a specialty of summer lilies are
out of stock at the same time and a small
demand serves to make everyone hustle
to find the necessary stock. Valley is
selling well. A few auratums still are
seen.

All sorts of green goods are equal to
requirements.

Most of the houses closed shortly after
noon on Labor day, but others found it
would take them all the afternoon to get
their orders out. In future it is doubt-
ful if any of the houses close on Labor
day. The day was not at all generally
observed in Chicago this year.

Hereafter the wholesale houses will be
open until 6 p. m. daily, except Sunday.

The August Business.

It is the usual report that the August
business was ahead of last year. This
market each summer makes increased ef-
fort to provide for the hot weather de-
mand for flowers. Practically every house
was better equipped this summer than
last, and the result has been an increase
in sales. There always is more or less
call for good stock in the summer, espe-
cially for well-grown roses. A fewf houses
report a decrease in the summer business,
but these are the ones which failed to
make any special effort to provide stock
for it.

Weather in Aujfust.

"Weather conditions in Chicago made a
fair showing for August, the tempera-
ture averaging normal for the month of
August for the last thirty-six years in
which the government weather station
has existed here. The mean temperature
was 71 degrees. The highest was 92,
August 11, and the lowest 52, August 22

and 25.- The sun shone 278 out of a
possible 415 hours. The total rainfall
was 4.22 inches, or 1.43 inches above nor-
mal.

Various Notes.

C. L. Washburn returned Saturday
from a fortnight's fishing near Athel-
stane. Wis. He found Bassett & Wash-
burn cutting the largest sumnaer rose
crop of their history.

Fred H. Lemon, Richmond, Ind., presi-
dent of the American Carnation Society,
was a visitor this week.

C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's, says
that the largest order of supplies which
ever went out of this market was that
shipped to Charles Hammer, who is start-
ing in business at Memphis as the East
End Floral Co. The first shipment made
two large wagon-loads. Mr. Dickinson
says they are receiving many compli-
ments on their new catalogue.

One of the week's visitors was Dan
MacRorie, representing W. A. Manda,
South Orange, N. J.

J. B. Deamud is visiting his father at
Cairo, Mich. Will Kyle says they have
every reason to be pleased with the way
business has held up through the summer.

Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Randall
Co., has returned from a fortnight's trip
as, far west as Ogden and Salt Lake,

Weiland & Risch are cutting 1,800 to
2.000 carnations a day from the early
planted stock, and say the demand is so
Rood they can not ofteri accommodate
those who do not place orders in advance.

The first meeting of the season of the
Chicago Florists' Club will be held in
Handel hall at 8 p. m. on the evening of
September 12. M

Gentlemen: I am in receipt of your Catalogue of Florists' and
Greenhouse Supplies for season 1907-08, and wish to congratulate
you on your success in your efforts to give to the trade not only
a most complete catalogue, but what I would term seventy-six pages
full of suggestions and a list of necessities for modern Florists'
establishments. No catalogue of any other house can be compared
with it in regard to originality, neatness, excellent half-tone
illustrations and the valuable information it contains which is/
of so much help, especially to the progressive out-of-town Florist
who desires to employ up-to-date methods in his business, which
means success. With my best wishes, I am

Truly yours, FRITZ BAHR.

week with A. L. Randall at his farm in
Michigan. Mr. Goerisch reports that Mr.
Randall has the beat crop of peaches in
his section.

Philip Schupp says that the house of
J. A. Budlong has every rt 'son to be
pleased with the summer business. He
says their far southern buyers have left
their standing orders on the books right
through the summer, a circumstance
heretofore without j)recedent. They are
cutting some fine Brides and Maids from
carried-over stock.

Augusl Poehlmann sent word home
from Philadelphia that he had lost his
pccketbook, with his money, railroad tick-
ets and blank checks.

The edelweiss at Lincoln park is at-
tracting much attention from the daily
papers.

E. E. Pieser says that for the first time
in history August was a better month
than July for the Kennicott Bros. Co.
Incidentally it is worth mentioning that
it is the first time in many years that
Mr. Pieser has spent the entire month of
August in the store.

John Muno has practically gone out of
cut flower growing, after having devoted
nearly twenty years to it. His establish-
ment now is nearly all devoted to an au-
tumn Mop of cucumbers, which will be
followed by lettuce. He has retained a
few carnations.

P. L. McKee, of the J. C. Moninger
Co., and Mrs. McKee leave September 19
for a trip through the east, including a
visit to relatives in North Carolina and
Tennessee.

Mike Stauch is in town this week, look-
ing for a greenhouse establishment that
can be bought on favorable terms. He

wants to grow cut flowers for the whole-
sale market.

E. C. Amling is receiving some fine
Monrovia chrysanthemums, and, as usual
with the first of the season, they dre
bringing $4 per dozen.

Zech & Mann think the roses are far-
ther advanced than usual at this date.
They are cutting Brides of good October
quality.

Dan Vaughan is here from Louisiana,
visiting his brother, A. L. Vaughan.

Wietor Bros, are cutting some Kate
Moulton roses that find prompt sale.
They have good stems and the necks are
strong enough to hold up the buds.

Word has come from p]vergreen, Colo.,
where Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sperry are so-
journing, that Mr. Sperry was injured in
an accident while horseback riding the
other day. His horse fell and rolled upon
him, the pommel of the saddle inflicting
a bad injury, and when the horse got
upon his feet he stepped on one of Mr.
Sperry 's hands, cutting it badly. The
physician says Mr. Sperry will not be
able to be about for three or four weeks.

W. A. Arnold, foreman for George
Reinberg, while at the convention at Phil-
adelphia, made a trip to Rutherford and
bought another carload of orchid plants.

Vaughan & Sperry still have peonies,
red and white. They have kept excellent-
ly. This is a later date than peonies ever
before were seen in this market.

O. P. Bassett is suffering with hay
fever.

C. W. McKellar and the champion lady
bowler have just returned from the con-
vention. They visited New York, Wash-
ington and other points last week.

The E, F. Winterson Co. reports a

satisfactory business, with French bulbs
and Boston ferns as the principal items
on the street floor.

Peter Reinberg had contemplated send-
ing out the Marshall Field rose next
spring, but Leonard Kill states that he
has about concluded to hold it for an-
other year. The way it is blooming
pleases them immensely.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. say they have
not had a dull day all summer and that
shipping trade has been by far the best
part of the business. They are already
cutting some splendid roses and look for-«
ward to an exceedingly large fall busi-
ness.

The telegraph strike is slowly wearing
itself out. The service is now quite fair.

Peter Reinberg has now equipped
twenty-three of his boilers with the Mar
tin rocking grate.

O. J. Friedman had the family order
for the Nelson Morris funeral. The prin-
cipal piece was a casket cover of valley.
This funeral brought out one of the larg-
est floral displays seen in this city in
many months and nearly all the leading
retailers had their share,

W. L. Palinsky has recovered from the
illness that prevented his attending the
convention.

John Bratt, at Glen Ellyn, has sold his
greenhouses for removal from the prop-
erty and is contemplating a trip West
with a view to locating there.

The George Wittbold Co, has installed
an electric pump at its Buckingham place
establishment. When the city water
pressure runs down the electric pump is
automatically started, forcing water from
a well on the place and maintaining a
steady pressure.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Business seems to have picked up some
since last report. Besides more in the
line of funeral work, there has been
quite a demand for wedding flowers dur-
ing the last week. Stock remains about
the same as last reported. Kaiserin, La
Detroit and Meteor are about the only
good roses available, with La Detroit in
the lead. Some very fine asters are com-
ing in daily ; the price averages about one
cent, the best ones bringing two cents.
Gladioli, sweet peas and a variety of
other stock are helping out. Green stock
is quite plentiful.

Michigan State Fair.

When this report reaches our readers
the fifty-eighth annual fair held by the
Michigan State Agricultural Society, at
Detroit, will be about over.

The grounds are, of course, looking
better every year, as the shrubbery gets
more developed. Most of the shrubbery
about tlje main entrance has been donat-
ed by some of Michigan's largest nur-
series. J. C. Vaughan, of Chicago, was
given honorable mention for a bed of
seedling petunias, a bed of King Hum-
bert eannas and a bed of Superb roses.
Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian, were
also given honorable mention for a bed
of Express eannas.

The following firms are on the grounds
with exhibits of nursery stock: W. W.
Essig, Pontiac, Mich. ; R. J. Coryell, Bir-
mingham, Mich.; E. Eerrand & Son, De-
troit, Mich.; I. E. Ilgenfritz, Monroe,

Mich.; the Greening Nursery, Monroe,

As will be seen, there was really no
competition worth speaking about in any
of the entries. Much of the stock en-
tered was hardly worthy of any prize.
Some years ago nearly all of the larger
Detroit florists took some interest in the
fair, but this seems to be dropping oflF
from year to year, this year there being
none of the large florists on the grounds.

Frank Holznagle and Robert Unger
acted as judges of the flower and plant
exhibits, respectively. They did their
duty well and the selection of such men
as judges may tend to increase the inter-
est in the fair for another year.

The only really attractive collection of
f)lants was that shown by the park board.
This comprised a collection of palms,
ferns, etc.

Various Notes.

Theodore Damerow is cutting some ex-
ceptionally fine asters. The stems are
long and stiff and the flowers of a fine,
clear color.

The Breitmeyers also are cutting some
very fine asters at Mt. Clemens.

tfrounds have also been put into spick
and span shape.

D. MacRorie, of Orange, N. J., and H.
K. Philpott, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, paid
lis a visit recently.

The park board has been doing some
ifood work on the main streets by cutting
out all of the dead branches and the
dead trees. This is really the first time
the trees have received a thorough over-
hauling for many years, and it adds
orreatly to the appearance of the city.

Taepke's store is receiving a new coat
of paint. The front has been put into
tjfood shape again and Mr. Taepke is all
ready for the winter rush. H. 8.

NEV YORK.

The Market

Labor day opened the fall season with
a big rain storm, making wholesale flow-
erdom funereal, spoiling the parade of
the 50,000 and the restful outings of the
■■),000,000 New Yorkers. August was the
most delightful month florists have ever
experienced in cool, sunny weather, and
gave opportunity to make ready for the
great season of prosperity just at hand.
There is not a cloud in the floricultural
commercial sky. *

Little first-class stock is yet reaching
the New York market. When it does,
whether orchids, roses or carnations, the
demand absorbs it quickly. There is a
big call from the society centers, espe-
cially from Newport, and mostly for or-
chids and Beauties. Prices for these aro
rising, and for good Brides and Maids,

yet few and far between, better figures
than average quotations are easily ob-
tainable.

The quality of valley is excellent, and
carnations are lengthening their stems'
and beginning to look natural again. The
river of asters and gladioli is as wide and
deep as ever. Market gardeners are
growing asters all around us. This ac-
counts for part of the flood, and the
same may be said of the gladioli. Childs
and Cowee send enough daily to New
York to beautify every country store in
the Union. Selected stock commands $1
a hundred, America steps a notch higher,
but the great, common, everyday lower
class of the procession is well sold at 50
cents a hundred. The same applies to
asters.

Next will come the dahlias and, within
speaking distance, the army of chrysan-
themums is on the way. Plenty of lilies
are coming in, and hydrangeas, any num-
ber, for there is not a suburban home
witiiout a yard of them. They" are as
popular and universally in evidence in
the fall as is the Crimson Rambler in the
spring.

Various Notes.

Do not forget the club meeting next
Monday evening, September 9, at the
new rooms in the Murray Lyceum, Thir-
ty-fourth street and Third ^venue; won-
derfully handy , for Long Islanders and
an excellent location for all. John B.
Nugent has something special in the com-
missary department and the occasion will
be made one of jollity and importance to
the club 's future prosperity.

The new president of the S. A. F,
boars liis honors and congratulations

with becoming modesty. The position is
all the more gratifying because it was
unsought and unexpected.

These are the days of fairs, though
they are often on anything but a fair
day, for at noon on Monday the heavens
were still open and the rain descending.
Over on Staten Island the Richmond
County Agricultural Society begins a six-
day session, which it calls New York
City's. Great Interborough Fair. They
announce exhibits from Bobbink & At-
kins, Stumpp & Walter Co. and growers
from Sparkill, Nyack, Glens Falls and
other outside sections. The fair grounds
are near a popular summer resort, Mid-
land Beach. Great crowds are expected.

Saturday, August 31, an agricultural
and horticultural exhibition began at
Schuctzen park, Glendale, L. I., under the
auspices of the Schwaebischer Saenger-
bund. This is the thirty-first annual ex-
hibition of the society. The Long Island
florists were much in evidence.

September 4 the annual exhibition of
the Southampton Horticultural Society
began at Agawan hall, Southampton,
Long Island.

The seedsmen 's windows these days
appeal to the vegetarian's heart and
make him glad such tomatoes as Thor-
burn's windows display, from currant
size to Ponderosa, solve the food prob-
lem. To specify all the other exhibits
in these windows would need a catalogue.
Stumpp & Walter's new windows seem
built to last and are tastefuUy filled with
the products of their seeds. Hender-
son 's have almost everything in fruit and
flower.

William Elliott and his wife have been
rusticating in the Thousand Islands. The

veteran spieler has a strenuous season
ahead of him.

Out-of-town visitors at A. T. Bodding-
ton's last week were: A. Ferguson, of
Dupuy & Ferguson, Montreal; William
Williams and Robert Borroughs, of St.
Anne de Bellevue, Quebec; Mr. Corley,
secretary of the Green Floral Co., of Dal-
las, Texas; E. W. Clark, of New Lon-
don, Conn.; Harry Papworth, of New
Orleans; Otto Wittbold and wife, of Chi-
cago; W. O. Roy, superintendent Mt.
Royal Cemetery, Montreal; William Dil-
ger and wife, of Detroit.

F. O. Pierce & Co. have their new of-
fices now on the fifth floor of the Mail
and • Express building. Corner of Broad-
way and Fulton streets, next door to
their old quarters, lately destroyed by
fire.

• The Dutch bulbs are arriving in large
quantities and crowding the French bulbs
out. All are in prime condition. The
French goods are hardly up to the stand-
ard of previous years and are scarce, ow-
ing to prolonged dry weather on the con-
tinent.

Mr. Loechner, of the Yokohama Nur-
sery Co., is back at his desk after a se-
vere hospital experience. Miss Mills, of
the same company, is enjoying her vaca-
tion in Canada. Arnold Ringier, of Chi-
cago, and J. R. Jock and V. Matraia, of
California, were guests of Mr. Loechner
August 31.

Rickards Bros, are now receiving their
bulb importations ; 150 cases of French
and Dutch bulbs arrived August 31, the
day they celebrated their first anniver-
sary as proprietors of the Bridgman

business. They have made a fine start.
A. J. Rickards has just completed his
New England trip.

We are all glad to welcome W. H.
Taplin as a resident of New York.

O. V. Zangen, of Hoboken, will open
a wholesale cut flower store early this
month in the Coogan building, on the
fifth floor, with C. Schaefer, his travel-
ing salesman, formerly with Stumpp, as
manager. Mr. Zang6n will devote his
personal attention to his rapidly growing
seed business, as usual.

Perkins & Nelson have a fine new de-
livery wagon, and Mr. Perkins makes
daily journeys to his Brooklyn clientele.

Charles Millang says he is handling
10,000 asters daily and receiving ship-
ments from Albion, Lockport and Buffa-
lo. He is devoting his entire place on

The Market.

After being away from home nearly
two weeks, we found the market about
the same as when we left it and business
among the different retailers as usual
during the month of August. About the
only demand is for white flowers for
funeral work, which i^ the only kind of
work that is being made up just now.
Th6 opening of the schools this week

should help, as well as the opening of all
the downtown theaters. Stock at the
four wholesale houses runs about the
same. In looking it over Monday morn-
ing, September 2, we found plenty of
asters in all colors and, as that was
Labor day, the demand was quite good
for this stock. The late comers found
the best stock of it pretty well sold out.
There are plenty of roses in the market,
but not of the best grades. Thousands
of short-stemmed stock are being dumped.
There are too many gladioli in the mar-
ket, also tliberose stalks. Carnations are
very poor. Here and there a bunch or
two of good ones come in, but very few.
Quite a lot of short and medium Beau-
ties are coming in, which sell well. In
greens everything is in plenty.

Most of the S. A. F. excursionists

for the Philadelphia boys, as to the way
they were entertained, and are with me
in saying that it was one of the best
conventions they ever attended. They are
also much pleased with the selection of

was assisted by his friend, John Burke.
This was one of the largest decorations
of the year.

The Rising Eastern Market.

There are ripples of business here and
there on the quiet summer sea of busi-
ness, indicating that fall has come, fore-
runner of increased activity. There are
good days and poor ones, with just
enough of the former to keep the latter
from becoming unduly depressing. As-
ters rule the market, with sales at the
highest listed quotations by no means
infrequent. Purple is at present entirely
too numerous to keep pace in price with
white, pale pink and lavender, diplomacy

being needed to move the finest flowers
of this color. The bulk of the asters
are still of the poorer grades and less
easily sold than the better flowers.
More gladioli have been sent in than the
market could absorb.

Beauties are too plentiful in the lower
grades. Good blooms, with stems from
thirty inches upwards, are in demand at
good figures. Easter lilies are becoming
more plentiful. They are the only large
lilies in the market today.

Carnations are scarce. Nice flowers,
though small and borne on short stems,
are bringing extremely good money.
Kaiserin sells better than any other rose,
possibly excepting good Beauties. Short-
stemmed blooms of Richmond are en-
tirely too plentiful. Other roses are not
so much overdone.

Asparagus plumosus has been poor
stock, but the other members of the green
section received better support. Valley

Fall Prospects.

The prospects for the coming season
are as bright, yes, brighter, than ever
before. The supply houses, whose busi-
ness is the pulse of the florists' body,
have more and heavier advance orders
than any previous September 4. While
it is too early to go into detail, yet
there is confidence in the air. The de-
pression in securities is merely a light
malady. General business is prosperous;
crops, though late, are abundant. An
active season may be fairly anticipated.
The outlook for the greenhouse crops is
generally excellent. Most growers say
their houses never looked better. A
good deal depends on getting the crops
when they are wanted. To this end fpe-
cial effort should be directed.

G)mpton«

Compton, the country seat of John T.
Morris, president of the Chestnut Hill
Horticultural Society, is one of the most
interesting of our suburban places. Comp-
ton, lying to the north of Chestnut Hill,
commands a fine view over the valley of
the Wissahickon, on the south, and to
the northward over picturesque hills and
valleys to "White Marsh. Compton is a
triumph of nature, aided by art to no
small extent. The situation of Compton
is ideal. The soil is not. To make it so
hundreds of tons of street dirt have been
added, Mr. Morris and his gardener,
Frank Gould, believing this fertilizer bet-
ter for their purpose than any- other.
The condition of the lawns and shrub-
bery confirms them in this belief. It
would be hard to find their superior any-
where.

Possibly at some future time I can
give you a detailed description of Comp-

ton. Today I want to call attention
broadly to its most interesting features.
The general plan in the planting at
Compton is the development of the indi-
vidual to the highest degree of perfection
and the comparison of different varieties
of the same species. Flowering shrubs
are a feature of this place. All the best
varieties of each species of blooming
shrub are planted singly, with plenty of
room to develop to perfection, yet near
enough to the others for the family group
to be seen at a glance. For purposes of
comparison this arrangement is excel-
lent. It is so carried out that the gen-
eral effect is heightened, there being no
stiffness anywhere; undulating ground,
curved lines and grassy walks, with a
stream and a summer house in rustic
style, a place to study and to love nature.

Compton is famous for its fine grotto.
The house is unique in construction, a
dome shaped with architectural aspira-
tions that make its lines beautiful, the
stone smoke-stack and air-flue rising on
each side of the doorway like sentinels
guarding the portcullis of an ancient
castle. Inside, the impression is of a
light cave filled with a great number of
varieties of ferns. There are steps of
rock leading about the cave, up and
down, a dark hollow in one corner where
water plashes steadily over certain filipy
ferns most rare.

There are woods and nurseries and
glass houses, but I have described enough
to give you some idea of Compton. If
you are a true plant lover both Mr. Mor-
ris and Mr. Gould will welcome you to
this earthly paradise.

We have had a long, severe drought.
G. Bright says that such shrubs as the
althseas and white oleanders have been
the greatest help in keeping up a supply
of flowers after the annuals were all
burned up. Clematis paniculata is do-

hyacinth l)ean8, we defy the great heat
and the hot, drying winds. Of course we
get some carnation flowers and roses, but
the supply is quite limited and the roses
just now only good when in bud.

A person, as yet unknown, has been
calling upon florists in different parts of
the country representing himself as J.
H. Myers, of Altoona and Eldorado,
Pa., soliciting loans in cash, also cut
flowers, etc., directing bills to be sent
to me. In some cases he has succeeded.
A notice similar to this was placed in

PITTSBURG.

The Market

Almost everyone is glad that August
is past and the time approaching when
business should revive. Vacations are all
right, and a few dull days are not so
bad, but by September 1 everyone is
ready to get down to hustling.

Good white asters have been very
scarce the last week and there were not
enough lilies to go around, but there
were plenty of roses and good gladioli
to' take care of all the trade there was,
and some to spare, so that, except among
the few who must have a special flower,
there w^s no hardship felt.

Various Notes.

There is still some convention talk,
and, to be fair to Philadelphia, the talk
is all in its favor, as some of the oldest
attendants say it was the best conven-
tion they ever attended.

The growers are very busy just now
getting carnations planted, and, as a
rule, the plants look fine. There has not
been much complaint so far about dis-
eases in the field, except among some few
of the new sorts. However, the com-
plaint will probably come later. As la-
bor isixigh and good help is scarce, most
of the growers will be so shorthanded
that stock will not get all the attention
it needs after it is housed, on account
of the great amount of fall work, and
when the plants commence going back
the excuse will come.
• The Pittsburg exposition has arranged
a floral hall this season, the first for
some years. The contract was let to
John R. Elliott, a son of Capt. John El-
liott, who had charge of that work for
the old exposition for many years, when
the floral hall was the principal exhibit
at the exposition.

"What was originally the Scotch Hill
market lot was in 1869 made into the
first public park planted with flowers.
This was done by Captain Elliott. Three
fountains were put in and soil for grass
and flower beds was hauled in from the
old Fourth street road. A beautiful
park, about 75x1,000 feet, was made, and
enjoyed by all in the neighborhood. All
signs of the park are now being removed
and the space will be covered with con-
crete to make a playground for the chil-
dren of the neighborhood, and the old
Second Avenue park will be a thing of
the past. The only green breathing spot
in the downtown section is gone.

With the first of this month the Pitts-
burg Cut Flower Co. enters on its tenth
year. Just nine years ago many thought
its experiment would prove a failure;
now everyone will admit that the firm is
a necessity and its business has grown
until it is now one of the leading whole-
sale houses of the country.

E. C. Ludwig and wife have left for
Washington and the Jamestown exposi-
tion. They will return by way of New
York.

J. B. Murdoch & Co. report themselves
as, on the whole, well satisfied with the
summer business.

Mr. Demas, of the Pittsburg Florists'
Exchange, has made a trip east, looking
up sources of supply for an enlarged
business this fall.

Prize Euays.

Samuel Murray, of Kansas City, offers
two prizes of $30 and $20 for the fol-
lowing essays to be presented by Septem-
ber 30 : ' ' Comparative Worth in the Com-
munity and to Horticulture and Flori-
culture. * '

First: The man who is a gardener and
florist, having' a store and conservatory in
the city, conducts a high-class business;
has greenhouses in the suburbs; grows
plants and cut flowers for his store; has
a good business in spring bedding plants
and does all in his power to increase the
sale of hardy perennials, setting forth to
his patrons on every occasion possible the
beauty and charm of ithe hardy flower
garden plants, shrubs and trees and bulbs
in the fall.

Second : The man who conducts a store
and conservatory in the city has a high-
class business, but does not have any
greenhouses, buying all his plants and cut
flowers at wholesale.

These essays were originally to have
been presented at the Philadelphia con-
vention, but because of the short notice
given, the time was extended.

Department of Plant Registration.

M. H. Walsh, Woods Hole, Mass., sub-
mits for registration the following ram-
bler roses:

Walsh's Poesy, color clear dark pink;
base of the petals fading to pure white;
distinct; free flowering, strong growers;
flowers borne in large clusters and hang-
ing gracefully on the plant. This variety
raised in Woods Hole in 1901.

Walsh 's Coquina ; beautiful shell pink ;
lower half of petals creamy yellow; fo-
liage glossy ivy green; profuse bloomer;
single flowers.

Walsh's Cinderella, beautiful dark
rose; flowers double, borne in immense
clusters, shoots bearing from sixty to one
hundred blooms; when fully developed
flowers assume imbricated form and
change to a lovely shade of light pink;
one of the latest of the rambler class to
flower.

Walsh 's Delight, single flowers ; intense
carmine tipped with scarlet; lower half
of petals white; most profuse bloomer;
flowering from every bud on each shoot;
foliage dark glossy green and a grand
forcing rose.

Walsh's Evangeline, single flower; two
inches in diameter; large bronzy, glossy
green foliage; most vigorous grower; de-
liciously fragrant, suitable either for
climbing or creeping in parks or shrub-
beries; color, soft pink and white.

Walsh's Paradise, single flowers; borne
in large clusters ; hardy, profuse bloomer ;
fragrant; petals, lower half white, upper
half pink; when fully developed the pet-
als recurve to a sharp point, forming a
perfect star; center filled with yellow
stamens. P. J. Hauswirth, Sec 'y.

* Lewiston, Me. — T. J. Allen visited
Boston last week, buying fall supplies.
He reports business as good and is busy
with an addition to his houses.

Mason City, Ia.— The Perth Floral Co.
lost $3,000 by fire August 25. The build-
ing was completely destroyed. The loss
is partly covered by insurance. The ori-
gin of the fire is unknown.

BocHESTEE, Ind. — John Shelton expects
to begin work at once in the enlarging
of his greenhouses. The new buildings
will be 45x149- feet and will be completed,
before the arrival of cold weather.

All root crops on the other side are
reported to be making a light seed crop.
Some of the varieties of beets are ex-
ceedingly light.

Reports from the onion seed fields of
the central west state that the harvest is
over and that the seed balls indicate a
good seed yield.

The cool weather which generally pre-
vails over the country is reported to be
bad for the sweet corn, \dne seed and
tomato seed crops.

Beans are coming along all right, ac-
cording to reports. Much can happen yet,
however, to change the situation, espe-
cially on the Refugee and other late
ripening sorts.

At Chicago some of the onion seed that
was labeled, "Eastern grown, strictly
choice white," seems to be badly mixed
with a mongrel yellow and red, according
to the set growers who planted it.

Long Island growers of cabbage seed
have harvested nearly a full crop in
good shape, but the increased demand
renders the supply short. Recent rains
have materially improved the condition
of cabbage stock for seeding 1908, and
also were of great benefit to cauliflower,
of which hundreds of acres are grown
on Long Island for market.

The way peas are coming in at the
growing stations bears out the reports
that the crop is going to be light. Some
of the canners, however, say they will
have a lot that got too ripe for canning
and that this feature may have a bearing
on the price. The best posted growers
think the canners have an object in send-
ing out these statements.

The onion st't situation is not well in
hand. Opinions vary as to the actual
production of the commodity. It cer-
tainly looks as though the crop is far be-
hind that of last year in quantity. Grow-
ers are holding off for stiff prices and
unless there are quantities in places that
have been overlooked the indications . are
that stiff prices will have to be paid.

The cool weather has not hastened the

Lester L. Morse is the delegate of the
American Seed Trade Association to the
National Irrigation Congress.

The tomato packers are getting a bet-
ter crop and -pack than was anticipated,
but their market is still firm.

The season is decidedly late, but the
prospect for a fair crop of tomato seeds
is better than before recent rains.

^ The dealers who placed their orders in
France at too low prices, for Paper
Whites and Romans, have not secured full
deliveries.

The supply of valley pips in cold stor-
age promises to equal the requirements
up to the date new crop stock Avill be

D. Lakdreth Seed Co. has a splendid
location at Bristol, Pa., on the banks of
the Delaware, and has had a good grow-
ing season, although the rainfall has
been light.

TrtE canners report that on the whole
the pea pack will exceed that of last year,
but the advance orders take the entire
pack of standard grades and the demand
for 390S is assured.

Ax investigation of the legal aspects
surrounding the non-fulfillment of orders
for French bulbs shows that a contract
in France is not binding unless the bulb
grower's wife is a party to the written
agreement.

Retail seedsmen say that the high
quality, abundance, price and other fac-
tors which have effected so great an in-
crease in the canning of peas, have been
felt in a reduction in the retail sales of
peas for seed.

The exports from Rotterdam, Holland,
to the United States during the year
1906, as reported by Consul-General Lis-
toe, include bulbs and flowers to the
amount of ^■i7r),209, plants $305,076, and
seeds $151,907.

Secretary C. E. Kendel has published,
and mailed to members, the volume con-
taining the proceedings of the twenty-
fifth annual meeting of the American
Seed Trade Association, held at New
York June 25 to 27.

It is reported that at least two New
York seed houses are seeking a way to
secure legal redress from a French
grower who failed to fill orders for Paper
Whites and Romans which had been
booked some time before.

HOLLAND BULB CROPS.

Now that both the tulip and hyacinth
crops in Holland have been harvested
and warehoused, it may be said that on
an average the results are more satis-
factory than were at first expected. The
hyacinth crop in general is fine, with the
exception of only a few varieties. Con-
sidering the much smaller acreage
planted out this season, this must be con-
sidered rather fortunate, as under these
circumstances it is likely that the supply
will be able to meet the demand, which
would not have been the case if the crop
had been a poor one. Nevertheless, as
the season is at least ten days backward
it is quite evident that shipments will
also be later than usual and the fine, dry
weather was certainly a great boon to
tlie growers, in securing perfect curing of
the bulbs just out of the grounds.

As was at first expected, the crocus
crop is a poor one and the quantities on
hand will not be sufQcient to meet the
demand, but narcissi promise a good crop
all round, although the quantities to dis-
pose of are considerably less than last
season and no surplus is likely to remain
on the hands of any of the growers.

Gladioli Colvillei, says the Horticul-
tural Trade Journal, are generally look-
ing weak and poorly, and good stock free
from disease is likely to be scarce and
therefore higher in price.

ERFURT SEED CROPS.

We thought last season an unusually
late one in the Erfurt district of Ger-
many, but the present bids fair to eclipse
it in this respect. A cold, late and dry
spring gave everything a bad start, and
low temperature, little sunshine and
plenty of rain have caused vegetation,
in popular phraseology, to take two steps
backward to every step forward. We are
now quite three weeks behind a normal
season, and the result is that it is diffi-
cult to make any sort of estimate as to
liow the various crops will turn out.

The cabbage tribe, owing to heavy
stocks, was not largely planted and looks

Garden carrots are poor, but field car-

well, as far as we can see. Peas have

Parsley is all right, but parsnip and leek

the critical time of the pod setting is
now at hand. Asters are .ery backward
and absolutely nothing can be said now
as to their prospects. Of pansies a good
crop is unfortunately hardly to be hoped
for, as the moist and cloudy weather
causes so many of the best flowers to
drop off without setting. An army of

SWEET PEAS FOR SEED.

Thei'e is no gainsaying the fact that
sweet peas of the Spencer type are large-
ly given to sporting, or, to be more cor-
rect, many flowers are so formed that
bees have a chance of assisting in the
work of fertilization. Consequently,
many seeds are the result of cross-fer-
tilization. One may walk down rows
of sweet peas and find the bees busy
enough on Spencer varieties, but pay-
ing practically no attention to the older
forms. Members of the cabbage family
intercross so freely through wind or in-
sect agency that for seed purposes the
crops have to be grown wide apart, and
so it will be with sweet peas. Those who
wish to be able to distribute true stocks
will have to isolate the varieties that
show this sportive character.

Sweet peas are so popular, and the
prospects of extended sweet pea culture
are so considerable, that those growers
who distribute seed that can be depended
upon to yield the variety purchased will
reap a large reward. It is useless to ex-
pect a sweet pea to be suflSciently fixed
for distribution in its second year, and
unless the same care is taken with sweet
peas as with many other florists' flowers,
growers will unquestionably defeat the
en«l8 they have in view. Every raiser
wants to put his new varieties on the
market as soon as possible, and bis
hurry is the greater because he fears

Vegetable Forcing.

Toledo, O. — Searles Bros, are build-
ing five houses, each 750 feet long. They
grow vegetables and will install the
Skinner system for watering.

Horseradish will grow almost any-
where, but the best and most tender
roots are produced in a rich, deep and
rather moist soil. It is propagated by
planting pieces of the roots, any portion
of which will grow, no matter if buried
deeply in the earth.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE.

The Jerusalem artichoke is a hardy,
tuberous rooted perennial, a native of
Brazil. It must not be supposed that
this plant is an artichoke; it is only
so called because it resembles that vege-
table in flower and not because it be-
longs to the same family. Neither is
it a native of Jerusalem, that word in
this instance being merely a corruption
of the Italian name girasole. In Eng-
land the tubers of the Jerusalem arti-
choke are made use of in much larger
quantities than in this country, and they
are much liked by some people when
cooked in various ways. The tubers are
baked, roasted and boiled and are served
with milk or butter. Their flavor, when
properly cooked, is quite agreeable, and
as a food they are far from being un-
palatable. The Jerusalem artichoke thrives
in almost any kind of soil and situa-
tion. It is propagated by planting small
entire tubers or pieces of larger ones,
just like the potato. The sets may be
planted any time from the beginning of
February to the end of March, in shal-
low trenches, or may be dibbled into
holes one foot apart and the rows three
feet asunder. E, R.

GRAPES UNDER GLASS.

Kindly tell me what is the best treat-
ment for forcing the Muscat of Alexan-
dria grape. What are the best fertilizers
for it? H.Y.B.E.

To fully answer this query would ne-
cessitate a minute description of grape
culture from start to finish. This would
easily fill all the pages of a few editions
of the Review. Only a few of the more
important points, therefore, can be
treated here.

Assuming that the vines are already
established plants, planted in a suitable
house, with suitable borders, the first
thing of importance is to have the house
and vines thoroughly cleaned before
starting. This is dond by either washing
or painting the woodwork of the house,
removing the loose bark from the vines
and washing them with a solution of
Gishurst's compound or other good in-
secticide. About two inches of the sur-
face soil should be removed all over the
house; then a good coat of manure or
bone meal should be given and lightly
forked in. After a good watering, this
should be covered with about two inches
of fresh soil. It is a good plan to alter-
nate the fertilizers, giving well rotted
cow manure one year and bone meal the
next.

The temperature to start should be 40
to 45 degrees at night, with a rise of
from 10 to 15 degrees by day, increasing
at the rate of about 5 degrees a week

until a night temperature of 65 degrees
has been attftined.

The vines should be lightly sprinkled
twice a day from the time of starting
until the vines come into flower, when
sprinkling of the vines should be discon-
tinued, but the floor of the house should
be sprinkled several times during the
warmest part of the day, to help main-
tain suflBcient moisture in the atmosphere.
The old theory was to keep the atmos-
phere of the house as dry as possible
during the flowering period, but from
personal experience I find that a much
better set is procured with the assistance
of atmospheric moisture.

Disbudding, pinching and tying must
be attended to as required. By disbud-
ding I mean the removing of all surplus
shoots from around the spurs as soon as
the strongest can be selected. This
should always be left where possible, but

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Septembgb 5, 1907-.

as the position of the shoot must be
taken into consideration, it is sometimea
better to rem6ve a stronger shoot and
leave a weaker, pn account of its being
in a better position. The shoots nearest
the vine are the best to leave, as this
helps to shorten the length of spur. Sev-
eral bunches will often appear on a shoot,
but all should be removed except one,
and the point of the shoot should be
pinched out three joints beyond the fruit.
All lateral shoots that appear between
the bunch and the rod should be removed
and those beyond the bunch should be
pinched back to one eye. The lateral
shoot produced by this eye should again
be pinched to one eye, and so on, as long
as the shoots continue to. appear.

Copious waterings should be given, ac-
cording as the border shows signs of
dryness, the last being given when the
grapes are about to show the first signs
of coloring.

Feeding must be regulated according
to the condition of the soil. In a house
where the vines have been several years
planted, feeding should be given about
four times during the watering season.
Applied in liquid form, it is most effect-
ive and quickest in action. Liquid made
from sheep manure is about as good as
can be applied.

The temperature to be maintained dur-
ing the growing season is 65 degrees at
night and from 75 to 80 degrees by day,
according to the brightness of the
weather. But after the grapes are thor-
oughly ripe, if it is desired to hang them
on the vines for any length of time, the
temperature should be lowered about 15
degrees and all possible air allowed, to
prevent damping.

Thinning should be done as soon as
the berries begin to stone. This period
can be discerned by the swelling of the
berries; those improperly fertilized will
stop •■sw-eHing shortly after setting; so
the smaller ones should always be re-
moved and the larger ones left. The
proper amount of thinning cannot be de-
scribed, but can only be learned by ex-
perience. The operator must know the
size the berry will finally attain and
allow ample room for each to swell, so
that when finished the berries will touch
but not crush each other, which they
would in the case of being left too thick.
On the other hand, if too severely thinned
the bunch when cut, instead of being
stiff enough to retain its shape, will be
loose and lie flat when laid on its side.

Muscat of Alexandria grape is not one
of the easiest to grow. The chief trouble
with it is during the setting period;
hence it is not advisable to force it very
early, as the principal agency towards a
good set is sunshine. If started not ear-
lier than the middle of February, by the
time the flowering period arrives bright
sunshine can usually be depended on.
This, combined with atmospheric moist-
ure, will usually insure a good set.

We potted up about 6,000 4-inch gera-

our retail trade to try the Review and
see if it would sell some for us. We
Bent in a small advertisement and in
five weeks we were sold out and re-
ceived orders for 1,000 more than we
had. We sent money back to eight dif-
ferent states. When a man gets his of-
fer into the classified department of the
Review he wants to be careful or his
stock will all be sold and he will have
nothing left but empty houses to take
care of. The Review is worth dollars
a year, instead of $1, to any one in the
business. You can use this letter if you
want to; it is true. Raqan Bros.

Pros., J. W. Hill, Des Moines, la.; Vio«-prus.,
O. M. Hobbs, BrldgTtiport, Intl.: Soc'y. Geo. O.
Sea«er, Rocne8tep;T.-e»8.,C.L. Yates, Rochester.
The 83d a<inuai convention will be helu at Mil-
waukee, June, 1908.

J. Henry Clark, of Wheelock & Clark,
Fredonia, N. Y., was stricken with apo-
plexy August 23. He is 60 years of age.

E. P. BoswoRTH, an agent for the
Fairview Nursery Co., Rochester, died
of heart failure in the postoflBce at "West
Derry, N. H., August 21.

The demand for shrubs is reported
stronger than ever by some of the nurs-
erymen in the Mississippi valley. There
seems no limit to the demand in this
section.

It is stated that the indebtedness of
the Central Michigan Nursery, Kalama-
zoo, Mich., is approximately $100,000
and the best offer for its assets is
$12,000.

S. C. Moon, Morrisville, Pa., says that
in his experience the rule for the one
transplanting trees or shrubs should be:
"Get all the roots you can, and keep all
the roots you get. " '

The Corn Belt Nursery Co., Blooming-
ton, 111., has been incorporated with $10,-
000 authorized capital stock. The incor-
porators are Burton J. Vandervoort,
Louis Denning and U. G. Owens.

The landscape architect advises the
people to beware of the man who will
make a plan free, or at nominal cost, but
who expects the property owner to buy of
him the stock to execute the plan.

The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates the average condition of the apple
crop of the whole United States as 39.4
per cent. In New York it is 65 per cent
and in Missouri only 10 per cent.

CALIFORNIA PRIVET.

It has been observed on occasions after
California privet suffered injury during
a severe early frost in autumn, or a late
frost in spring, that plants which had
been moved the autumn previously were
unharmed. In consideration of this it
will be well for those intending to plant
privet in large numbers this autumn or
next spring to do as much as possible of
the work in the autumn in order that the
plants will at least be reasonably sure of
a fair start.

In planting privet for a hedge, it may
be desirable to make provision for the
protection, not only of the hedge itself
from heavy accumulations of snow in
winter, but also to construct it so that it
will be effective in some measure in pro-
tecting the area which it is intended to
enclose from some kinds of animals, bi-
peds and quadrupeds. Therefore it may
be well to plant the hedge double, but
it is doubtful if it is in any way de-
sirable to plant double if those con-
siderations are not present.

A great deal depends on the founda-
tion laid for a hedge at first, in regard
to its ultimate success, and for that rea-
son, when the trench is dug, if the soil
is not fairly rich it ought to be made
so by the addition of a generous portion
of good manure, cow manure preferably,
always taking care, however, to cover

the manure with eoil before placing the
plants in the trench.

As a precaution, it will be well to cover
the surfape of the soil, when the plants
are in place, with coarse stable manure
to the depth of three or four inches.
This can be removed in the spring or
allowed to remain and, in case it may
be in a location rendering it objection-
able, it may be lightly covered with soil.

EDUCATE THE PUBLIC

[A paper by J. A. Stewart, of Christopher,
Wash., read at the recent convention of the
Pacific Coast Nurserymen's Association.]

Nurserymen ought to educate the
public and illustrate the difference be-
tween good and bad nursery stock. I
believe that the nurserymen, as a rule,
are getting into line to furnish the pub-
lic with good, healthy, high-grade and
true-to-name trees and plants. The hor-

this particular, how many really know
whether or not they have got what they
ordered? As a rule they have to rely on
others and they in turn on some reliable
nurseryman.

What is a Good Tree.

Is a good tree the one that has made
the most vigorous growth and stands con-
spicuously among its fellows, or, on the
other hand, is it the tree that has had
a hard struggle to grow and has been
hardened and perhaps dwarfed by rea-
son of its poor cultivation and care and
adverse environment? I hold that it is
neither of these types which is best, but
the happy medium; the one which de-
velops a tree which does not rush too
much to wood, but as it grows has
time to harden and mature its structure
in its gradual development of leaf and
bud.

To raise a superior tree it must be
nursed from the start to the finish. You
must see to it that your seedling stock
is clean and vigorous, one-year-old pref-
erable, being free from all diseases.
After it has been lined out in the nurs-
ery row and your ground kept clean of
weeds and cultivated regularly, it is time
to bud and graft. The selection of your
buds and scions is a most important mat-
ter, if you would be sure that the variety
is true to name.

I will not bring in here the question
of pedigree stock, although I believe
there is a great deal in it. Vigilance
must attend it all along the line of its
growth, as disease may attack it any
time. A first-class tree is the one that
is budded or grafted on such stock, and
any other, to my mind, such as home
grafts and cut backs, is inferior and
ought to be classed with inferior stock
and belong to the category of diseased,
crooked, forked, too low crowned, roots
cut too short, not true to name trees, as
against clean, straight, well-rooted,
healthy trees.

I come to superior and inferior nurs-
ery stock as regards its name and va-
riety. We know that there are many vari-
eties that are really worthless; there are
also some varieties that do well in some
localities and will not do well in another.
There are also some new sorts that are
advertised and many flattering things
said about them. These may be worth-
less and many of them are.

PACIFIC COAST.

Sacramento, Cal. — The Fifteenth Na-
tional Irrigation Congress will be in ses-
sion here September 2 to 7.

Everett, Wash. — Trubsnaw & Fergu-
son are building a big greenhouse near
the Wye in Snohomish to grow lettuce for
this market.

Spokane, Wash. — The Spokane Floral
Association announces that silrer medals
will be awarded for the best displays at
the twelfth annual aster show in connec-
tion with the Spokane Interstate Fair,
September 23 to October 5. Exhibits are
expected from Washington, Idaho, Ore-
gon, Montana and British Columbia.

Six century plants, with variegated
leaves, are said to be blooming at one
time in the Sutro gardens, at San Fran-
cisco, Cal. They are on the upper para-
pet, overlooking the sea. Assistant Gar-
dener Coleman says that they were
moved from different parts of the gar-
den to this point ten or twelve years ago.

IRRIGATION FOR ROSES.

TTie use of irrigation in the growing
of outdoor roses, when the plants are to
be used for greenhouse forcing, is a sub-
ject that should be carefully studied by
the prospective planter, as the condition
in which the plants are replanted in hot-
house beds has a great effect on their
subsequent failure or success.

In a broad sense, ' there is a much
greater chance fbr a succession of heavy
crops from stock that is grown without
irrigation than when considerable moist-
ure has been used. The popular idea,
that the best results are to be obtained
from the largest plants, irrespective of
the real condition the plant may be in,
has dominated the growers, and much
stock is transplanted into houses that
is far from being in condition to imme-
diately respond to heat and moisture,
and too often it will rest a long time,
together with the attending dying back
of more or less wood, before it responds
vigorously to its new conditions.

Under ordinary circumstances it is not
necessary for a hardy rose when grown
outdoors to have a resting spell in the
middle of summer. Nature intended
such a time to take place with the ap-
proach and continuation of cold weather.
But when this is circumvented by artifi-
cial heat at the time the rose expects its
holiday the plant must have received a
reasonable amount of forced drying off
previously if it is to be expected to con-
tinue its good work. Were it not for the
fact that the soil becomes impoverished
from the constant drain on its supply of
nitrogenous matter and also that the rose
is usually overforced, it should live and
})loom for many seasons, if other condi-
tions were equal.

If the weather is warm there is always
danger in handling roses that have been
grown in the nursery rows, where arti-
ficial watering has been resorted to. If
the weather is cool they can probably be
transplanted safely enough, but they will
be very slow in starting. Again, roses
that are irrigated usually make a few
very long roots and there is an absence
of fibers, which is always conducive to a
long wait before they leaf out. The
greatest trouble, however, is from the
fact that the stock has not had a suffi-
cient Testing season and, whether it dies

back or not, it is bound to take a long
rest before it makes much of a showing.
Consequently the season is often well
over before anything is accomplished in
the flowering line.

Eoses grown without irrigation, wheth-
er on their own roots or budded or graft-
ed, are always more satisfactory to plant-
ers. They will stand more neglect and
more extremes of temperature, have bet-
ter roots, do not need as much trimming
and will respond with much more alacrity
to their new environments than any other
kind. This is on the same lines as the
artificial drying up of rose beds in the
summer before they are started again in
the fall. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

Business continues well down, as far
as receipts are concerned. There have
been some funeral orders, and these have
helped to use up quite a portion of the
surplus white stock. There is little be-
ing offered in the line of fancy stock of
any kind. Roses are fair, considering
the time of year. A few very good
Bridesmaids are being shown from Bur-
lingame, but with other sorts there is
nothing in season.

Carnations are still scarce, as there is
but little being cut from the newly plant-
ed stock. The shortage of white varie-
ties still continues, and it will be several
weeks before we have our usual quota.

Asters are being brought into town in
enormous quantities, particularly the
short-stemmed • flowers. The prices on
these are not worth quoting, as they can
be bought for almost any price offered.
They will last about two weeks yet, and
then will become scarcer.

From appearances the chrysanthemums
will be in evidence in a short time. The
acreage that is devoted to them is not
quite so extensive as in former years, and
whether there will be suflicient or not to
supply the demand can better be told
later.

Japanese lilies are in good demand and
are paying the growers well for their
trouble. Amaryllis of the early variety
are drawing to their close and have not
proven good sellers. The later flowered
sorts are beginning to be seen, and they
appear to be better sellers.

Valley moves slowly. Colored gladioli
and dahlias are a positive glut in the
market. All other kinds of hardy stock
move slowly, with the exception of sweet
peas, and they are much scarcer, particu-
larly the long-stemmed stock. The weath-
er continues cool, with prospects of its
unlimited continuance.

DBS MOINES, lA.

Twenty-five of the flower growers of
Iowa gathered in the headquarters of the
Horticultural Society at the State House
August 28 for the fifth annual meeting
of the Society of Iowa Florists. Although
the convention was not large, a very en-
thusiastic session was held. Vice-Presi-
dent Judscn A. Kramer, of Cedar Rapids,
was elected president and Charles N.
Page, of Des Moines, succeeded himself.
Secretary Wesley Green was reelected,
and Peter Lambert, of Des Moines, was
made treasurer, vice W. A. Harkett, of
Dubuque.

A paper by J. T. D. Fulmer, of Des
Moines, who is detained in the east, on
' ' Bedding Plants, Their Use and Abuse, ' '
was read by the secretary. The follow-
ing papers were read by the authors:
' ' Cannas, " J. T. Temple, of Davenport ;
"Thrips and Red Spider," Wm. Tril-
low, of Des Moines; "Color Effects in
Arranging Flowers," M. K. Zimmer, of
Woodbine, and "The Best Method of
Glazing Greenhouses," by J. A. Kramer.

The next convention will be held in Des
Moines during fair week in 1908. It was
decided to hold a two days' convention
next year, as one session gave insufficient
time in which to accomplish the work.

OLD SOIL FOR CARNATIONS.

1 sowed some buckwheat on old carna-
tion soil in the benches, intending after
it was partly grown to turn it under,
leave it there for a short time and then
plant the carnations in it. It is now in
bloom, but we are a little fearful of the
result. Will you kindly advise us what
it will be best to do, as our carnations
are ready to come in? C. C. N.

We have never tried the experiment of
sowing buckwheat on any indoor benches
and doubt if it pays for the trouble in-
volved. While some fertility may be
added to the soil by sowing buckwheat,
cowpeas, red clover, rye and some other
quick growing crops, when we consider
that you need to water these crops as
you would your carnations and that to
cover any of these crops properly involves
considerable labor, we do not think it
worth the candle.

Seeing, however, that your crop is
grown, turn it under without delay. We

fear it will give you considerable trouble
to cover it properly and, when replant-

nuisance. It never pays to plant carna-
tions or any other indoor crops in old
soil. We know it is often done, but you
will never find successful growers using
anything but new compost. You should
add a liberal coating of well rotted barn
manure to your soil, and some ground

Another year, clean out the old soil,

ONCINNATL

The Market.

All along the line there seems to be an
increase in business; it is not yet marked,
but the general average shows it. There
is much more activity among the buyers
and the calls for stock are more fre-
quent. As the schools and colleges will
begin to open in a few days, those per-
sons who have been spending the vaca-
tion in the various summer resorts are
beginning to arrive home, and this is al-
ways the signal for the start of the fall
business. With the advent of the mum
at the end of this month everything will
be in full swing.

Koses are in heavier supply and are
not selling quite so well. The better
quality of them sell well, and at good
prices, but the short-stemmed ones move
slowly. There are many more Beauties
coming than we have seen for some time.
They sell well, too, and bring good
prices. A few carnations are coming in
and the supply will increase gradually
from day to day. They are selling well,
and more could be used to advantage.
Asters are going well now. The best
quality sell out clean at good prices.
There are not nearly so many of the
poorer grades coming in, and even these
are selling now. Gladioli are not in so
much of a glut now, and there is some
prospect of getting a respectable price
for them. They certainly have been
bringing next to nothing this season, and
it is to be hoped that what are left will
b« able to redeem themselves a little.
Dahlias are still selling poorly. It is
hard to move them at any price. We are
in hopes of doing better with them soon,
though. Some good lilies are to be had
and they sell well. With the exception
of smilax, this market is well supplied
with green goods, and they are selling
well.

Various Notes.

The forty-eighth annual harvest home
of Green township was held Thursday, Au-
gust 29, and the flower display this year
was the best that was ever seen there.
Fred frear acted as judge, and he award-
ed to H. Koester five prizes, to Philip
Berlier five prizes and to H. Keuten-
schroer two prizes.

The next regular meeting of the Flo-
rists' Society will be held in the club
room Saturday, September 14. A good
meeting is looked forward to.

Mrs. Anna Garges will leave this week
for ' a vacation, which she will spend
mostly in Louisville.

Martin Reukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer &
Co., is in town. He has introduced an
innovation this trip by bringing a large
line of samples with him, which he has
on exhibition at the Gibson House.

C. J. Ohmeb.

Mt, Vernon, N. Y.— The H. A. Stoot-
hoff Co., formerly at 116 and 118 West
Street, New York, has removed its head-
quarters here.

Huntington, Mass. — More than 1,000,-
000 ferns a week are being gathered by
Huntington residents for New York flo-
rists. The fern pickers receive 40 cents
per 1,000, tied in bunches of twenty.-five.

FiSHKiLL, N. Y. — Benjamin Hammond
has been improving his office facilities
until, as the local paper says, "the office
has put on that up-to-date appearance
which characterizes a prosperous and sub-
stantial business."

BUFFALO.

, The Market

The weather conditions in Buffalo con-
tinue to keep very cool and dry. As a
result asters are not up to the standard.
Up to date the quantity has been large
enough, but the quality is away off. The
best asters are bringing 2 cents, which
is far better than last year. Sweet peas
are about over with for this season.

Old Home Week.

Decorations are the order of the day
in Buffalo now, celebrating Old Home
week, and the florists have been very
loyal to the occasion. W. J. Palmer &
Son have a miniature arch of white as-
ters, representing the gate of the city,
with all trains leading to it. The show
which attracted the attention of the pass-
ing crowd was a farmyard scene in S.
A. Anderson's window. This window
certainly is worthy of praise, for it is
original in every way. It pictures Buf-
falo years ago, as the people left it to
seek their fortunes. The whole city is
ablaze with lights and decorations of all
kinds, and Buffalo expects more visitors
than we had at any one time during the
Pan-American year.

On Wednesday, August 28, the Scott
Floral Co. held its annual picnic, scoring
the usual success. K. A. S.

COLORADO SPHINGS, COL.

Flower Show.

The flower show of the El Paso County
Horticultural Society, held in this city,
i-ame to a close Friday, August 23. It
was the greatest show ever held by the
society. The exhibits, attendance and
receipts were larger than ever before.
Tliere were over 3,500 paid admissions,
besides the annual tickets and the passes.
All the professional exhibits were good,
the honors being divided among the local
florists.

An important feature of the show was
the large exhibit by Mr. Fohn, head gar-
dener for General Palmer. This was not
for competition and was afterward given
to the society by General Palmer. It
comprised some of the best begonias ever
seen in Colorado, besides ferns, gerani-
ums, pelargoniums, gloxinias and an im-
ported variety of lobelia, the flowers of
which were almost as large as vincas.

The exhibit of wild flowers by Mrs.
S. B. Walker, of Salida, also attracted a
great deal of attention.

The first prize for a general collection
of dahlias went, as usual, to W. W. Wil-
more, the dahlia specialist of Denver, his
exhibit being almost perfect.

G. Fleischer, of Pueblo, who attended
the show, reported the building of five
large houses and the installation of a
fine new boiler costing $1,000, and he had
to hurry home to superintend the work.

Tarrytown, N. Y. — The Tarrytown

IT IS SURPRISING

Every Carnation Grower who has put our Common Sense Carnation Sup-
port to a practical test has demonstrated to himself the necessity of its use
over that of the present stringing method or any of the other so-called Wire
Carnation Supports.

The old-fashioned, slow, expensive stringing method coBts you more
money and embodies continual work during the season of plant growth.

Other so-called Wire Carnation Supports are pui^zles in construction,
troublesome to maintain and impractical to a great degree, and usually after
a season's trial get in the junk pile.

The Common Sense Carnation Support

DK8CRIPTION: FIk. 1-A 2-rt Galvanized Stake that will hold 1 to 9 r)D?8. F!c

The Common Sense Carnation Support is simplicity in construction, and
when in position among the carnation plants in the bench they work right-
fit every plant and stay permanently until removed with the plants.

The Common Sense Support is easy to put up, easy to apply to the plant
— easy to be removed and taken apart.

When out of use the stakes and rings are bundled separately, like the
ordinary Galvanized Wire or Cane Stakes. The Common Sense Carnation
Support IS A SURE THING, and undoubtedly a standard article.

Before we introduced it to the trade we prepared in advance for the
expected demands. A sample 100 two-ring Support for $1.60.

Grandest novelty for 1908.

BUTLER, PA.

Gladlolitt Display.

At the annual exhibition of the But-
ler County Agricultural Society, held at
Butler, Pa., August 20 to 24, Jesse A.
Heydrick made an exhibit of gladiolus
blooms, which was quite unusual at such
exhibitions and a very meritorious one.

Mr, Heydrick has been growing these
bulbs for twenty-five years and, although
he is not a florist, is an expert in the
growing of gladioli. He had on exhibi-
tion, on this occasion, about 6,000 of the
finest blooms, 2,500 of which he produced
from seedlings grown in his own garden.
Many of these were rare and beautiful.
The balance of the exhibit was furnished
to Mr. Heydrick by John Lewis Childs
and Arthur Cowee, who are well-known
growers.

This display was arranged along one
side of a long hall and the stems were
inserted in long boxes filled with sand,
which was damp, thus keeping the blooms
fresh during the four days of the ex-
hibition. This display was doubtless the
finest ever made in the floral line at any
fair in Pennsylvania. As the work of an
amateur grower, Mr. Heydrick 's success
in producing new and fine seedlings, in
this line, has been marvelous. He has
20,000 bulbs in his collection this vear.

W. H. H. R.

PEACE ON BOTH SIDES.

A traveling salesman died suddenly in
Pittsburg, Pa., and some of his friends
telegraphed to the undertaker an order
to make a large wreath. Investigation
showed that the telegram ordering the
wreath read as follows:

' ' Rest in peace, ' ' on both sides of
the ribbon; if there should be room,
' ' We shall meet in heaven. ' '

The undertaker was out of town and
the new assistant handled the job. It
was a startling floral piece which turned
up at the funeral. The ribbon was ex-
tra wide and it bore the inscription:

* ' Rest in peace on both sides and if
there is room we shall meet in heaven."

Wappinoers Falls, N. Y. — The Wap-

fireenhoMse Beating.

The bureau of plant industry, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, has in con-
templation a study of the various sys-
tems of greenhouse heating as the basis
for a bulletin on the subject.

STEAM FOR COMPLETE RANGE.

My greenhouses all run east and west,
and are situated on the south slope of
a hill in eastern Minnesota. All are set
well into the hillside and thoroughly well
banked.

House No. 1, which is on the lowest
part of the hillside, is 12x104 feet, and
seven feet and a half to the ridge. It
is a violet house, has wood walls three
feet high and is now piped for hot water,
with a 2% -inch pipe on one side and
three I'/a-inch returns on the other. The
boiler-room is at the west end of this
house.

At the north side of the boiler-room,
and extending part way along the north
side of House No. 1, is House No. 2,
joined at its east end by a narrower
house, House No. 3, which also extends
eastward, parallel with the east part of
House No. 1. Thus Houses No. 2 and
No. 3, standing end to end, extend the
full length of the boiler-room and House
No. 1.

House No. 2 is 24x75 feet, and four-
teen feet to the ridge. It is even-span
and has cement walls, banked or pro-
tected, with two feet of glass between

the wall and the gutter on the south side.
I wish to pipe for steam, maintaining
a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees.

House No. 3 is 14x53 feet. Its south
wall is cement and protected, with two
feet of glass between the top of the wall
and the gutter. The north wall is the
side of a warehouse in part, and the bal-
ance is wood, made thoroughly warm
and banked. I wish to heat with steam
to 45 or 50 degrees.

Extending northward from House No.
3 are two warehouses, the combined
length of which is sixty-six feet, and at
the north end of the warehouses is a
lean-to greenhouse, 12x42 feet. There
is also an oflBce at the northwest corner
of the warehouses. The two warehouses,
oflSce and lean-to greenhouse will not be
used during the cold winter months. The
lean-to greenhouse faces a much fre-
quented street and is intended merely for
a display room during the spring, sum-
mer and early fall. I wish to run pipe
enough, the length of the warehouses, to
reach the office and lean-to greenhouse,
so as to supply the necessary heat during
the spring weather.

Can the pipes now in House No. 1 be
used for return steam, from the flow
pipe in Houses No. 2 and No. 3, and get
heat suflScient for violets? Also kindly
suggest the size, and style or type of
boiler which would be most suitable, and
which would also have capacity for an
additional house, to be erected another
season, a duplicate of House No. 2.

under the ridge and six IVi-ineh returns
on the side walls or under the benches.

House No. 2 requires a 2V^-inch riser
under the ridge, running direct from the
boiler to the far end of the house and
returning through fifteen 1%-inch re-
turns arranged beneath the benches.

House No. 3 can. best be heated by an
independent 2-inch riser from the boiler
along the wall of House No. 2, into
House No. 3, to the far end of No. 3
under the ridge, and returning through
nine 1^-inch returns. This riser can be
branched between Houses No. 2 and No.
3, and carried through the warehouse
and storehouse to heat the office and
lean-to greenhouse. A 2-inch pipe will
be sufficient for this, on the basis stated.
The lean-to greenhouse should have seven
1^-inch j-etums installed, and from these
a single 1^4 -inch return direct to the
boiler. A boiler to do this work, and
care for an additional house 24x75,
should be rated for 2,000 square feet of
radiation. L. C. C.

PIPING IN WESTERN NEW YORK.

I have two new greenhouses, running
east and west. The south house is 12x70
feet and is connected on the south side
with an old greenhouse, which runs par-
allel with it. The north house is 11x70
feet, and on the north side of it is a
propagating house, five feet wide. There
are no partitions between these houses.
I wish to heat these new houses, includ-
ing the propagating house, with hot
water, maintaining a temperature of 50
degrees in zero weather.

The south house contains two solid
beds, and I have planned to heat the
south bed from the old greenhouse, by

house I would also place a 2-inch flow,
which would have two 2-inch returns in
the south house and two 2-inch returns

house would be another 2-inch flow, with

STRENGTH OF GLASS.

We contemplate erecting a greenhouse
29x100 in an exposed locality and would
like to know the relative strength of
glass 16x24 inches and 20x30 inches. We
plan to use the second quality in double
strength, setting the sashbars either six-
teen or twenty inches apart. The wind
sometimes is as high as sixty miles an
hour. Will there be danger of breakage
by wind or snow with the large glass?

F. D. S

We would have no hesitation in using
double thick glass with the bars twenty
inches apart. As a matter of fact, we
are using double thick glass with bars
twenty-four inches apart in a great deal
of our work, and we never have had re-
ports of trouble from breakage by the
wind. The only case where we have had
any trouble was in one instance where
heavy, wet snow accumulated on the roof.
In this case our customer had no lieat
near the eaves, but a heating pipe has
since been put in and we do not antici-
pate any further trouble.

The Market

There is little to be said about the cut
flower business, as everything is quiet,
although August business was up to the
average. Some houses report a little
more than in the corresponding month
last year.

Flowers are sufficient for the demand.
Asters are abundant and of excellent
quality. Gladioli also are plentiful and
good. Dahlias are also abundant, but
some not so good as in previous years,
Van den Dael, perhaps, being the finest,
and they will soon be over. Roses are
still on the short side of the market,
though good for the season. Some excel-
lent long and medium stemmed Beauties
have been seen, and such sell well. Some
good Richmond roses are arriving, but

Various Notes.

One of the events of the week was the
reception to Secretary of War Taft.
Thomas F. Walsh tendered him a break-
fast at his country place, where the dec-
orations were fine. There were also ex-
cellent decorations at the luncheon in the
Brown Palace hotel, the predominating
colors being red, white and blue, done by
the Park Floral Co.

Another event was the annual flower
show of the El Paso (Jounty Horticul-
tural Society, at Colorado Springs. The

only exhibitor from Denver was W. W.
Wilmore, the dahlia specialist, who had
a fine exhibit and took most of the lead-
ing prizes in that class. Among his
prize winners worthy of note in the dec-
orative class might be mentioned Laven-
der Beauty, Mme. Van den Dael, Gloire
de Lyon and Lucy Fawcett. E. S. K.

The Market

Trade is still quiet anil good stock
scarce. Some new roses are coming in
now and are fairly good. Few carnations
are to be seen on this market at present,
but tlie supply will be much greater this
season. There will be at least one-third
more carnatioii plants grown than in any
previous year. Gladioli are still plenti-
ful and good. Some good asters are seen
on the market and the choice stock finds
ready sale, while the poorer grades are
hard to move at any price.

This being state fair week and also
home-coming week, large crowds are ex-
])ected. The city is nicely decorated with
flags and bunting for the occasion.

Various Notes.

The Florists' (Jlub held its regular
meeting August 27 and a large crowd
turned out. After a short meeting they all
turned in at the bowling alleys and had
a pleasant time and also made some good
scores. Eeichert, Torrey and McKellar
were the high rollers.

Mr. Metzmaier has completed his new
house and has it planted with carnations.

C. A. Roth built his new house 20x100
over his carnation beds, and reports them
looking fine.

Mrs. E. M. Krauss and sister are back
at their post after a pleasant vacation.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is putting
in two seventy horse-power boilers at the
new plant and will soon be in shape with
the entire plant.

All the boys are back from their vaca-
tions and all feeling fine to face the rush
of the coming season. J. M.

At H. F. Crawford 's place in Montello
•the houses are being chiefly devoted to
roses this season. A nev(- house, ,52x165,

Another is filled with Richmond, while
Kaiserin occupies another. Of the latter
some nice flowers are now being cut. One
house has the center benches planted with
Carnation Fair Maid and sides with As-

ing thrifty. F. J. Dodd is the grower

Business conditions are alx>ut the same
as last reported. The retail business is
quiet, Trith the exception of funeral work,
which seems to have had a fairly good
demand. The light shades of blooms are
quickly bought up, while the darker
shades hang on and many see the dump.

Carnations are failing fast and seldom
produce a first-class bloom. Roses are
coming in niceh% with fairly good stems.
The outdoor stock is doing well. Gladi-
oli are coming in plentifully. Hollyhocks
are abundant; the white variety is mostly
called for. Hydrangeas can be had in
large quantities and are selling well, es-
pecially white. Asters are still coming
in heavily and many of our retail stores
are showing a large display in their win-
dows; they seem to be selling slowly.
Dahlias are arriving in considerable quan-
tity ; they are now better in quality and
more salable. Golden glow is shortening
up. Greens of all kinds are enough to
meet the demands.

Various Notes.

F. X. Powell, Putty HiU, Md.. is
bringing some extra fine white hydran-
geas to market and finds ready sale.

William Terry, Owings Mills, Md., has

An agreement has been made between
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and
Struntr Bros., of Westport. The railroad
allowed them $o,0(K» for onfrquarter of
an acre of land and agreed to move their
house and stable. Struntz Bros, will dig
a new well and a windmill will be
erected. They will have to tear down two
of their greenhouses and will erect one
large house in their place.

E. A. WoodfalL of Glenburnie, Md., is
putting in this year about 1.5,(K>0 carna-
tion plants, and also grows callas.

H. Kaiser, of Annapolis, Md., reports
business dull anu looks forward to the

The Mount Saint Agnes College, at
Mount Washington. Md., is erecting a
new greenhouse, 110 feet long, and will
start with new stock.

Announcements are out of the mar-
riage of Miss Ida M. Bothe to William
Lehr, Of Brooklyn, Md., last Wednesday.
Mr. Lehr is one of the members of the
firm of Lehr Bros., and is well known by
the trade, having at one time been in the

THE MASONIC EMBLEM.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph of a design made by James
J. Curran, at the Salem Conservatories,
Salem, Va. The Masonic emblem is well
brought out, especially by the fact that
the green predominates, the asters stand-
ing out and showing the character of the
conception better than would have been
the case had the wire frame been covered
solidly with flowers.

RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT.

[A paper by F. C. W. Brown, manager of
TLe Kosery, Toronto, Ont., read before the
Canadian Horticultural ABBOciation. in conren-
tion at London, Ont., August 29, ]9(>7.]

By "up-to-date" we must mean suc-
cessful, and the success of a business is
largely due to the individual

The qualifications are so numerous that
for one man to possess them all, or even
a majority of them, would indeed be re-
markable. Decidedly the most important
qualification is executive ability, fol-
lowed very closely by magnetism and an
almost superhuman foresight; then in
succession, to suit our opinion, tempera-
ment, control, artistic taste, appearance
and fluency of speech. The first diflB-
culty that confronts the managing head
of a retail establishment is the need of
confidence. If he be the owner, he must
have the confidence of his assistants; if
lie be an employee, there is the double
'iiflSculty of gaining the confidence of
liis employer and of his fellow employees,
and I deside to impress the fact of
the absolute necessity for confidence
.-unong those who are associated together
for the success of their business. Where
harmony is lacking, there will be little
success, for if there be discord in a
business where every sense of our ar-
tistic nature must be always on the alert,
the finer touches, the little spontaneous
actions, which go so far to make suc-
cess in the flower business, are sure to
l»e absent, and Miooer or later our ever
ready comptetitors will annex our trade.

Cofifidenrr oi Patrons.

Another great point is to gain the re-
spectful confidence of your customers.
The only way to do this is to be honest
in your dealings. Let them see that you
are ever ready and anxious to serve them
honestly and well; teach them — do not
:u<sert — that you are more capable than
they of choosing varieties and grades of
(lowers, and do not imagine, because
your customers are wealthy, that they
are anxious to squander their wealth in
your eetabUshmeat. Bather you should
sell them a dollar's worth less than they
are willing to spend, than force a dollar
more and thus create in another flower
buyer the impression that florists are
robbers. When you do find a customer
who seems to think that he is being
taken advantage of, teD him, carefully
and well, a few of the diflBculties of pro-
curing such flowers for him at such a
fseason. This is where fluency of speech
is neceswiry. but he careful not to nver

work it. There are some with whom it
would be better to laugh it off. Study
your customer, and also remember that a
fine bunch, with one, is twenty dollars'
worth, and with another, fifty or seventy-
five cents' worth.

Sttidy Your Customer.

Don't suggest orchids to a cai'nation
pocketbook, if you can help it.

Always make it a pleasure, and never
appear condescending in executing any

ited ebmee- of varieties, and let you do
the rest. The opportunity for increas-
ing the valne of your customers without
antagonizing them, is far greater by
this method thaii by any other I know.
Also you are enabled to move the stock
that is plentiful and good, instead, as is
often neeeesary where bound by a stated
kind, of giving scrubby stock of an off-
crop variety. There is one disadvantage
in the preceding statement, and that is,
that there is sometimes a temptation to
take advantage of your opportunity, and
palm oflF poor and long-kept flowers.
Don't do it, if you valne your trade.

The Purchasing Department.

I now come to the section of retail
management where real diflSculties are

I'.y "np-to-datc" we must nir;iii snc-
I c'ssful, and the snceess of a business is
largely due to the individual.

'fhe qualifications are so numcmus that
lor one nmn to possess tiiem all, or even
a majority of them, would ind('e<l be re-
markable. Decidedly the most important
ijiialificalion is executive ability, f(d
lii\ve<l very closely by magnetism and an
almost suporliuman foresight; then in
Nucee.ssion, to suit our opinion, tempera-
ment, control, artistic taste, appearance
.ind lluency of speech. The first dilli-
cidty that confronts the managing lieaii
of a retail establishment is the need of
' oiifidence. If lie be the owner, ho must
li.ue the coulidence of his assistants; if
lie lie ;(n employee, there is the double
dillicully oi' gaining the confidence of
his eiiiployi'i' and of his fellow eni|doyces,
:iiid I deside to impress the t'act ot

IIk' absolute neressity I'or confidence

lUiong those who aie assoeiatecl together
lor tile siiciess of their business. Where
harmony is lacking, there will be little
siicces,s, I'or if there be discoid in a
business where every sense of mir ar-
tistic nature must be always on the alert,
the finer touches, the little spontaneous
actions, \\hich go so far to make sue
less ill ilie tlower business, are sure to
lie ab.sent. and sooner or later our e\er
ie;iily competitors will annex "ii! trade.

Confidence of Patrons.

Another gicat point is to <^:iui the re
-pectful confidence ot" yoiii- cii--ioiners.
The oidy way to do this is to he honest
111 your dealings, l.et theni see that yini
are (>ver re.ady and anxious to sei\e tluin
honestly and W(dl: teach tlietii do not
■ i.ssert - that _\oii are more i-apahh' than

Willi- customers are w(\'iltliy, tli.at they
:Me anxious io squander their wealth in
\our establishment. Kather you should
sell them a dollar's worth less than they
are willing to spend, than force a dollar
more and thus create in another flower
buyer the imjiression that florists are
i(d)l)ers. When you <lo find .a customer
who seems to think that he is being
taken advantage of, tell him, carefully
and well, a few of the difliculties of pro-
luring such flowers for him at such a
sea.son. This is where flucney of speech
is necessni V. but be careful not to over

work it. There are some with whom it
wdiild be bettiM' to laugh it off. Study
your eiistonier, .and also remember that a
tine Imncli, with one, is twenty dollai's '
worth, ;iiid with another, fifty or seventy
ti\ e rents ' w ortli.

Study Your Customer.

jiocketbook, if you can hel[) it.

Always ni.ake it a plesisure, tiiid ikwci
;i|>pear coiiih'scending in executing any

ited choice of varieties, and lot you dii
the rest. The opportunity for increas-
ing th(; value of your customers without
antagonizing them, is far greater by
this method tlian by any other I know.
Also you aie enabled to move the stock
that is plentiful and good, instead, as is
ot'ten necessary where bound by a state<l

ill the jjreccding sttitenient, and that is,
that there is sometimes a temptation to
take advantage of your opportunity, and
[lalin off poor and long-kept flowers.
Koii't do it, if you value your trade.

The Purchasing Department.

I now come to the section of retail
nmnagement where real difliculties are
faced, where the greatest uncertainty pre-
\ tills, where, if there be any lying awake
at night, we can always look for the
cause — the purchasing department.

scarce; therefore vve take all he has. A
few weeks pass and the grade falls, or
other growers improve, and are bring-
ing in stock which is superior to that
of our first man. We only have use for
the best. We take it, and we cease to
purchase from grower No. 1. In my esti-
mation we are justified. Unfortunately,
owing to a dearth of commission houses
in Canada, it is sometimes a hardship on
the grower to force him to look for a
new market when flowers are plentiful.
It is an unfortunate situation, but a de-
cided case of survival of the fittest.

The Grower and the Retailer.

Then, again, we are in the habit of
taking a majority, perhaps all, of the
stock of a grower. The day dawns when
we find ourselves with a surplus. The
tendency is to expect the retailer to take
all offered. Such being impossible, we
are compelled to turn our supplyman
away, with the result in many cases of
his being offended. There, again, is a
problem for the retail management to
overcome. The solution must be left
to the individual, but remember, Mr.
Grower, if you force your stock when it
cannot be used you might kill the goose
that lays the golden egg.

In advertising a retail business — and
we are strong in the belief that it pays
to advertise — there are splendid oppor-
tunities to show good management as
to the kind that pays best. I will leave
the overzealous lady with program space
in a good cause to explain to you.

Unstable and Unjust Prices.

One of the chief obstacles of the re-
tail manager, and a subject that needs
rapid and up-to-date adjustment, is the
unstable and unjust prices that prevail
in some varieties at the beginning of
their season. Though there are others,
I will mention particularly the chrysan-
themum. Why we should be compelled
to pay prices that range from 25 to 50
cents at the beginning of the season for
stock that later would go begging at 10
cents, is more than I can understand.
It is unjust and unreasonable. It is un-

reasonable of the grower to exact it,
and unjust both to himself and to the
retailer, driving away, at the very com-
mencement of the season, many would-be
customers, who, after hearing the price,
gasp for breath and break for the open
air, in many cases never to return. There-
by is killed a prospective buyer who
would in the later season have helped
consume that surplus stock that is so
ruinous to the grower, in that it tumbles
the price from the legitimate to the
ridiculous.

Short-sighted Policy.

The claim may be advanced, "Well,
we can get that price and sell all we
have, ' ' but that is poor justification and
shows great lack of foresight. Let me
give you, Mr. Grower, the experience of
fifteen years' retail business under

varied conditions, and that is, that not
one-half of that early stock is sold by
the retailer, but it is rather consumed
in design work, and if it was not for the
necessity of being so-called ' ' up-to-
date, ' ' compelling us to carry that early
stock, it would pay both branches of the
trade, under present conditions, to keep
it from sight, and use the stock in de-
signs, until such times as sane prices
should prevail. That season is fast ap-
proaching, and to me it has always caused
the heaviest pangs of regret to see so
many would-be purchasers turned away
from our business, perhaps to return only
when forced to do so by weddings or
funerals.

Artistic Designing.

Another, and always important, point
in retail management is the designing.
In this connection it is entirely with the
individual. Good taste is essential, and
where there is any uncertainty in color
combination, don't do it, but rather keep
to the tried and accepted. In passing,
it might be well to remark that many
of the colors that were supposed to clash
are quite acceptable. Take, for instance,
pink and yellow: Enchantress and single
daffodils are very beautiful under arti-
ficial light. Also pink and blue: Kil-
larney (that wonderful rose) and pale
blue ribbons form one of the most soft
and artistic effects imaginable. I specify
the above to show that hard and fast
rules cannot be set in combination of
colors in our business. The artistic taste
of the retailer is tested here. Be very
careful where you experiment, though.

A study of colors and values would be
beneficial to all of us, as flowers differ
greatly in shades according to the ac-
tinic value of the light to which they
are subjected.

The foregoing are only a few of the
many questions that face the manage-
ment of a retail flower store.

Up-to-dateness, and success, are large-
ly a matter of individual ability, backed
by personal magnetism.

In closing let me say to you, Mr. Man-
ager, be honorable. Study the requi-
sites of your particular people; keep ac-
tive; profit by the experience of others;
always try to improve; work for the mu-

tual good of your customers and your
associates and you will benefit yourself.
Then, if you have the executive ability,
you are what I understand to bo an \ip
to-date retail manager.

PEONY PLANTING.

The season for digging, <Uviding, ship-
ping or replanting peonies is at hand, and
in some localities the work already is well
under way. As a general proposition the
peony business this season has not come
up to the eicpectations of those who were
counting on a large run of orders for
stock for cut flowers. There is no falling
oflP in the demand for peonies for home
planting or for landscape work. There is,
indeed, an increased demand for the
choicer varieties, single plants for collec-
tions, larger lots for the wealthy owners
of large estates, and for considerable
quantities from those who foresee a
steady increase in the call for these finer
sorts. The only place where the demand
for peonies has fallen off is. from those
who were a few years ago planting them
by the acre for cut flowers.

The average florist who had no peonies
is planting a few this fall, for his own
use. While he does not want a quantity
to ship to a wholesale market, he feels
the necessity for a few of the better cut
flower varieties on his own place; also, he
realizes that groups of the finer varieties
flowered on his lawn in spring will enable
him to take a large number of orders for
plants of these varieties, which he may
either produce himself, or buy of the
wholesale grower.

Taking it all in all, this promises to be
a fairly satisfactory season for the grow-
ers of peonies who have the better sorts.
TTie common trash and mixed lots are not
wanted. The only way they can be
worked off is through the nursery agent.
The fine varieties wfll' never cease to be
in demand.

PEONIES THAT SURVIVE.

A large part of the peonies in gen-
eral cultivation in the United States are
of French origin and in the majority
of cases the ones largely grown have
been on the market many years. Marie
Lemoine appears to be a peony which
has only recently come into its own. It
was not much heard of until a few years
ago, but it now is 'in practically every
collection, thirteen of the trial lots sent
to Cornell containing it. It was intro-
duced by f'alot in 1869. There is some
variation in the phraseology of the
growers' descriptive lists, but there is
little complaint of stock not being true.
H. Den Ouden & Co., Boskoop, call its
color soft yellow rose. Their neighbors,
Endtz, Van Nes & Co., describe it as

sulphury white lightly shaded chamois.
Dessert, in France, adds to the latter
color description the words, "with nar-
row carmine edge," and supplements it
by saying that the bloom, which is late,
is enormous. Peterson, at Chicago, calls
it a solid, massive bloom of extra size,
delicate ivory white, very late. C. W.
Ward says it is a magnificent variety and
very scarce.

Mme. Crousse is an old and widely
known variety, originated in France, by
Calot, and first offered, as far as records
go, in 1866. W. A. Peterson, Chicago,
considers it one of the best. He de-
scribes it as pure white, but sometimes
with slight crimson markings in the cen-
ter, and comments on its fragrance. A.
Dessert, the widely known French peony
grower, describes it thus: "Large
bloom, pure white, center edged with
bright carmine, fine bud, strong stems,
one of the best white varieties for cut
flowers." It is widely grown, the va-
riety being in nine of the collections sent
to Cornell for trial.

Jeanne d'Arc is another old variety
credited to Calot in 1858. Nine growers
included it in collections sent to Cor-
nell. Den Oudsn & Co. describe it as
flesh color, white and rose center.
Endtz, Van Nes & Co., who put it in a
list of choice varieties, say it is a large,
soft pink flower, sulphur white and
lively rose, center spotted carmine, to
which Dessert adds that it is a "very
fresh color. ' '

Boule de Neige is a Calot variety of
1862. Only four growers sent it to Cor-
nell. Dessert calls it a largo cup-shaped
bloom of perfect shape, with brightly
sulphured center, bordered with bright
carmine; habit erect. It is listed with
practically identical descriptions by most
of the European growers, but American
growers do not carry large stocks of it.

Mme. de Verneville is a comparatively
recent variety, being listed as distributed
by Crousse in 1885. It is in six of the
trial lots at Cornell. Peterson describes
it as pure white with red flakes in cen-
ter, large guard petals, early, free, fra-
grant and very delicate. H. Den Ouden
& Co. call it yellow, white, bufflsb.

Peony M. .lules Elie is a Crousse va-
riety of 1888. There are seven trial col-
lections at Cornell which contain it.
Peterson describes this as a massive pink,
clear flesh color, large and free bloomer.
Den Ouden & Co., in Holland, call it
fine rose, sulphur tinted. Dessert gives
it a lengthy description, as follows: Very
large, full globular flower, color of the
finest glossy flesh pink, deepening at the
base of the petals, reflex silvery pink,
quite fragrant, flower of a nice form and
very beautiful.

Peony Mrs. Willock is one which is
little known. It is listed at Cornell, but
none of the tedt collections contains it,
nor does it apj»"ar in the catalogues of
leading growers, either in this country or
France. Several of the Holland growers
have it and in nearly every case their
description is copied verbatim from the
catalogue of Kelway & Son, the English
firm with which the variety originated,
only a few years ago. They describe it
as ' ' rosy lilac guard petals, with narrow
yellowish petaloids in center." The il-
lustration will serve to show the form
of the flower.

The illustration of IVony Thryne is
from a photograph sent, with several, by
Endtz, Van Nes & Co., Boskoop, Hol-
land, and may be of value as an example
01 how easily peony nomenclature may
be mixed. No such name is recorded in
the Cornell check list, nor do Endtz, Van
Nes & Co. themselves list it in their cata
logue. It is j)088ible the name is an error.
Does anytme recognize it?

I do not know that many of the facts

I have not had the experience of very

me to contribute a jtaper on this sub-

and its management.

efforts should be put forth, and no loose-
ness allowed in any direction. Preachers
divide their subjects into several head
ings, and while I am not much of a par-
son, I shall take the liberty of suggest-
ing three main thoughts: First, charac-
ter; second, capacity; third, cash — in im-
portance in the order in which they are
given.

Character— Its Effect on Employees.

Nothing in this world exceeds charac-
ter. It permeates every part of life. The
work of employees and the confidence of
customers will be affected by the charac
ter of the management. We must give
our co-workers every consideration, to be
able to get out of them the best possible,
and we must treat them in a spirit that
will cause them to feel that they belong
to the business and are recognized, not as
machines, but as integral parts of the
firm. Probably nothing touches a man
more (juickly than the pocket, and I think
that our growers, and other assistants
who merit it, ought to be paid .every dol
lar that the profits of the business will
afford. It is our custom to revise the
wages of the whole staff at the end of
every business year, which with us is June
30, and give such increases as the merits
of the men might reasonably call for,
taking into consideration the annual
profits. 1 believe that when men realize
that their actions are being scrutinized,
not for the advantage of the employer
only, but also to give opportunity •f
reind)uri-:ing them, our men will work
with a zest and consequent success that
cannot otherwise be obtained.

Since I took the management of the
Hale estate, seven years ago, the wages
of our men have been materially in
creased, the increase running from twen
ty-five to fifty per cent, and 1 do not
know that we have arrived at high-water
mark vet. In connection with our busi

iiess I have lionestlj' emleavorod to con-
sider the finani'ial obligation to them
pven more than my own, so much so tliat
while the above })ercentage Of increase
has been made since Mr. ])ah>'s death,
the executors have not asked for, nor re-
ceived, any increased allowance, although
the burden has been very nuich heavier,
and the business five times as great aw
'when we first took charge.

Employees Not Mere Hireliags.

Men, however, arc not influenced by
money considerations alone, and 1 have
felt it desirable to treat them, not as
hirelings, but as associates, as good as J
am in every respe<'t, and make them feel
in every possible way that they are neces-
sary parts of our successful business, and-
to the visitor and public generally bring
them forward as deserving of notice and
praise. Out of business, too, I think
they ought to be recognized as ecjuals,
which they are, and i believe it is jiossi-
ble to do all this and still have all the
respect that is due to the management.
Although we have a staff of about 120
men, more than half of them growers, we
iiave remarkably few changes, aiul have
not in seven years lost more than two or
three men that we would hav<' cared to
retain.

In connection with the new office and
shipping room building recently erected
we have made provision for a reading
room, and adjoining bath-room, etc., and
(irovide magazines ami daily papers,
where our men can while away the time
during the noon hour, or before or after
work, and while all has not been done
that we would like to do, and that may
yet be done, we have honestly endeavored
to show our men that we think of them
in every respect, and in this way we re-
tain their confidence and get from them,
in most cases we believe, the best that
they can give us.

Character Its Effect on Patrons.

Allow me to turn away in the relation
of character from ourselves to our pa-
trons. In this resj)ect I was glad to fol-
low in the footsteps of the founder of
the business, Harry Dale, than whom, 1
believe, a more honest grower never live<l.
His ideal was a high grading, and a stick-

to-it under all circumstances, and it is
well known to the trade that we have
followed this out in every respect. The
customer ought to know what he may ex-
pect when he gives an order, and neither
scarcity of .stock, nor any other contin-
gency, is an excuse for dej)arting from
tlu' proper line of <'onduct.

Our staff — specially set a|)art for grad-
ing the stock after it is cut, and before
it is j)ut in the cellar — have positive in-
structions about the grading of stock as
brought in from the growers. Then,
again, the shipper and his assistants are
warned in their reselection prior to pack-
ing, that each individual flower as han-
dled must be inspected and set aside, no
matter how great the hurry, or how scarce
stock is, if it is not up to the ])r(tper
standard.

We believe it is very short-sighted pol-
icy for the grower to attempt to substi-
tute a lower grade for a higher grade
under any circumstances. It might pass
by unuoticed, or, being noticed, without
comment by the consignee, but it is a
. suicidal jtolicy that will injure the busi-
ness. It will not do to get the confidence
of your customer, and think you have
him, and then take advantage of his
trust. Every consignment ought to con-
sist of stock selected and packed as if
his business were dependent upon the re-
sult of that shipment, and once your cus-
tomer believes that he can depend im
plicitly upon the character of the grower,
his business is not likely to go elsewhere.
I might say, in passing, that so fi^r as
my memory serves me we have not lost
more than one customer during these
seven years, and have gained vtry many
new ones, largely, we believe, because of
the reputation of the firm for H«|uare
dealing.

Capacity.

.\s to the second item, ca[)i*city, I do
not j)retend to be able to give the mem-
bers of this association any pointers on
how to grow stock. That is not the pur-
pose of this ])aper, nor have I the ability
to contriV»ute anything in that direction
if it were desired. There must, however,
in any medium sized business at least, be
some capacity for nmnagement, as well
as for growing. The late Harry Dale,
who was a king among rose growers, and
a very clever mechanic as well, had sense
enough to recognize his deficiency in this
respect. I remember very well his send-
ing for me and telling uw honestly that
while he could grow roses, do steam fit-
ting and other mechanical work, he felt
that the business must have some better
management than he could give to it, and
asked nie to join him and take charge of
this jiiirt of the business. The results
speak for themselves. .\ doubling up of
this nature, or even a partnership, may
not in many instances be either wise or
desirable, even to get the benefit of busi-
ness training, but there ought to be, on

the part of the grower, a study of up-to-
date business methods as followed in the
building up of other concerns, and a cer-
tain portion of time given to that phase
of the situation. Where possible, one of
the family ought to be trained for busi-
ness, as well as for growing stock, and in
this way be able to give assistance as the
older heads become incapacitated.

Choice of Location.

My five years with Harry Dale, and
subsequent seven years, have taught me
that growers have something else to think
of besides producing their wares. In be-
ginning a business, there must be first the
consideration of situation. I believe that
no business of this nature can be estab-
lished very distant from a large city with
very much hope of attaining any great
size, partly because of the l)enefit of the
adjoining city trade, but principally be-
cause of good railway facilities, which are
vital to building up any large greenhouse
trade. While Brampton is not a largo
town, it is practically in the suburbs of
Toronto, having the immediate benefit of
all the railways centering in that city. A
smaller business may, of course, be made
up as an adjunct to any town in the Do-
minion, and the business would likely be
froportionate to the size of the town, but
believe every such business must be
owned and have the personal conduct of
the proprietor.

I do not believe any small or medium
sized business, say under 50,000 feet of
glass, can be managed and made profit-
able by a company, with directors, man-
ager, and other officers to be paid out of
the dividends.

There can be no question about the de-
sirability of possessing the most modern
buildings, with the best class of construc-
tion, very best quality of glass, frame-
work kept well painted, and greenhouses
kept scrupulously clean. It is a positive
hindrance to the trade and to our business
success, and is in my opinion altogether

inexcusable, to allow greenhouses to get
into the condition in which many are
found through lack of proper care.

It is Wise to Specialize.

So far we have not thought it wise to
mix the trade of plants with cut flowers,
ours, as is well known, being a cut flower
trade exclusively. I think that it is wise
to specialize, unless the business can be
made so enormous as to specialize in
many different departments. That point
has not yet been reached in the trade in
Canada.

In connection with our business, which
is wholesale exclusively, we have not
thought it wise to have a retail store.
When I joined the late Harry Dale he
had a retail store on Yonge street, To-
ronto, and I came to the conclusion that
it was hardly fair to the trade, either
there or elsewhere, to depart even to this
extent from our wholesale feature, and on
my solicitation the store was closed. Mr.
Dale lived to indorse my view as being
absolutely correct, and I have not yet
changed my opinion. Furthermore, we
have lived up to our professions of selling
to the trade only, and not to the public,
with this exception, and at rare intervals,
that whore a demand for our flowers
comes from a locality far distant from
any place where our goods are handled by
the trade, and there has not been time to
direct service elsewhere, rather than dis-
appoint we have filled the order. This
trade is discouraged, however, is not de-
sired, and never given heed to, except
where a refusal would carry unnecessary
disappointment. The public, however,
cannot in any instance obtain goods from
us direct in any town or city where our
goods arc handled by the trade, and we
believe that growers cannot be too par-
ticular in this respect. It is a duty to our
customers that will pay, as well as make
us feel that we are living up to our pro-
fessions.

CARNATION NOTES. -WEST.

Seasonable Culture.

Before you begin supj)orting your
plants is the proper time to do whatever
cleaning off of dead leaves needs to be
done. You can get at the plants better
and more and better work can be done.
This is an operation which requires great
care to prevent injury to the plants,
and unless you can do it carefully it
had better be left undone. We had
splendid weather this summer and our
plants have few (Jead leaves, so that
little cleansing is necessary.

The best time to do this is when the
plants are quite dry. Then tiie leaves
will break off readily, while if they are
damp they are apt to pull a string of
the bark from the stem, causing injury
to the plant. Be sure you rembve the
dead leaves entirely from the house, as
they are apt to have on them the spores
of any i>f the loaf-spot diseases and to

allow them to lie on the damp soil is to
start them into activity.

After cleaning off the plants, dust
them with grape-dust or any such prep-
aration and stir the soil again before
putting on the supports.

Perhaps in going along you will notice
some of the lower leaves partly eaten off
along the edges. This is being done by
the pests known as wood-lice, sow-bugs
or shot-bugs. You will find them mostly
along the edge of the beds and they are
easily reached by distributing bait along
the edge-board. Use sugar and Paris
green, or the remedy recommended for
cut-worms in the Eevieav a few weeks
ago. Do not expect one dose to kill
them all, but repeat at the end of a
week, and even a third time if deemed
necessary.

If the red and pink varieties are com-
ing with white spots on the petals it is
a sure sign that thrips are present and
you must get right after them. There
will be few blooms of value for a few
weeks yet, and you can use tobacco dust
to good advantage. After blooming com-

mences you must use only the liquid ex
tracts, which will not injure the blooms.
Fumigating is not desirable at this time,
"because you should not have the ventila- "
tors down tight any length of time, even
at night4

Aphides will not appear for some time
yet, but if you spray to keep down
thrips the aphides will not bother you,
as they succumb easier than the thrips.
Red spider will not likely appear until
hard firing begins, so you can reduce
your syringing to a couple of times each
week, or less if any of the leaf-spots
appear. Keep the soil in good, open
condition and give all the air you can
both day and night. A. F. J. Bauk.

STEM-ROT.

Will you please tell me the cause and
remedy of young carnation plants,
planted from two to four weeks, simply
withering up and dying? Upon examin-
ing the plants I find the bark of the
stem rotted, decayed and falling off. Not
rnany are affected so far, possibly two
per cent, but this loss is giving me mucli
worry, t did not notice this trouble in
the field and the plants are exceptionally
fine, thrifty stock. I have followed direc-
tions given in the Review as to sprajdng.
watering, ventilating, etc. The varieties
are Enchantress, White Perfection, three
varieties of the Lawson, Craig and Bos
ton Market. The plants have all taken
hold of the new soil and are making fine
growth. Ninety per cent of the loss is
among the Enchantress. I had a light
lime shade on the glass, which is now
practically all off. The plants suffered
little from wilting, as we had cool
weather at time of housing. E. H. O.

Your plants are dying off with the
common form of stem-rot. This is one
of the worst enemies we have to deal
with, because not only is it destructive
to the plants, but it is di£Scult to combat.
Its operations are confined to the stem
«f the plant and it is difficult to reach
the stems with any remedy you may ap-
ply. After you once notice the plant be-
gin to wilt, it is too late to do anything
to save it, as it is too far gone by that
time.

This is a fungous disease, which re
mains practically inactive when kept dry
and which delights in a warm, humid at
mosphere. That is why you find it so
troublesome right after housing the
plants. The frequent syringing and the
greater heat of the house cause it to
spring into activity. Planting too deeply
will also bring it on.

Stir the soil and dust the plants well
with slaked lime and sulphur mixed in
equal portions, and sprinkle the soil as
well with it. Grape dust is also good.
These will dry up and kill the fungus
wherever they reach it. Run the soil a
little on the dry side, too, and give all
the vontilation possible. A. F. J. Batjr.

FAIRY-RING.

Enclosed are some leaves of carnations.
Most of our carnations are turning thic
way. Please let us know the cause and
what to do for it. The new shoots have
leaves that are turning the same way. We
arc beginners on this line and do not
know the cause of the trouble. We arc
picking off all the leaves this way now.
but would like to know what else to do.

is brought on by the Hani« conditions that
bring on all tho loaf-spots and kindred
<li8ea8e8. Too inm-h rain or a hot spell
right after a iieavy rain is most fre-
ijuently the cause. Bonietinies it does not
appear tintil the plants are benched, in
which case it is caused by too much heat
and too much syringing. Picking oflf the
affected leaves is the proper thing to do,
and after you have them picked clean
dust the plants with grape-dust or with
lime and sulphur mixed in equal jiropor-
tions. Bordeaux mixture is also one of
the best remedies. Stoj) syringing just as
soon as practical and water only at the
roots until you have the disease checked.
A little fire heat on cool nights with the
ventilators open and a pipe painted with
sulphur and lime will be found a great
help. A. F. J. B.\UR.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

phia, offers a silver vase valued at $40

vase and open to private gardeners only.
Albert M. Herr, Sec'y.

EXTERMINATING SNAILS.

My greenhouses are full of snails,
from two to four inches long. They live
in solid beds and at night come out to
feed. What shall I do to get rid of
them? A. V.B.

Snails, if in such numbers as you men-
tion, will do much damage to any plants
for which they have a liking. Air-slaked
lime dusted over the surface of the soil
will kill all which crawl over it. Scatter
it on the beds the last thing in the eve-
ning, when the surface is moderately
dry. It is of little value when damp.
Many can be trapped by laying lettuce
and cabbage leaves at intervals over the
beds and searching these at intervals.

If you have a bad plague of these
pests and heroic measures are necessary,
purchase a bottle of carbon bisulphide,
with a pointed stick make holes at in-
tervals of twelve to twenty-four inches
apart each way, and allow a few drops of
the liquid to go in each hole, covering
it up immediately. Go over your beds
in this way and you will clean out not
only snails but any other pests in the
soil.

Carbon bisulphide is poisonous and is
explosive, so do not light any matches
while using it or results may be disas-
trous to yourself. It is best used .when
the soil is quite damp, the fumes then
penetrating farther. It will not injure
the plants in the least. If you have the
facilities, sterilize your soil before plant-
ing the houses for another season. It
will not only help you keep clear of
snails, but will free your soil of all weed
and fungous growths, and insects, and
will cost yon little. C. W. ,

SEASONABLE CULTURE.

The days are rapidly getting shorter and
the summer sun is decreasing in power.
This, with the heavy growth now on the
benches, means that much less syringing
is necessary than was the case a month
ago. Excepting on clear, bright days the
plant* should not be sj)rayed at all, and
they should never be sprayed so late in
the day that they are not perfectly dry
by nightfall.

Just now is when the different forms
of leaf -spot (Septoria), rust and kindred
(liseases get their foothold if the plants
are indiscriminately watered and syr-
inged. The beds will not dry out as
evenly as they did, because the sun can-
not penetrate to the center of the bench,
and it will often be found that the
benches need water along the sides when
the middle is moist enough.

As the stem begins to ' * bark up, * ' that
is to say, as it ripens, the bottom leaves
of the plant will gradually turn yellow
and decay. This is in no sense of the
word a disease, but merely a natural
process by which, as the stem gets hard,
the supply of nourishment to these leaves
is gradually withheld. They can be re-
moved and the plants will be better with-
I'ut them, as it gives the soil a better
ihance to dry out.

The earliest varieties are showing color
and, as they develop, the feeding should
be discontinued. It is generally neces-
sary to shade the earliest flowers and
this should be done without shading the
crop generally, because just at present
the main crop is in need ef all the sun
[lossible to ripen the growth.

All buds should be taken now as they
appear. There is no longer any question
of early or late crowns. Any bud in
"ight is safe to take and it is wonderful

at this time how quickly they show up.
Plants should be gone over every day,
in the early morning, and all buds taken
that show. After the cool night, the
superfluous shoots and buds break out
much more quickly than they do in the
middle of the day, when the sun tough-
ens up the growth a^ain.

Charles H. Tottv.

TAKING THE BUD.

What is meant by the following expres-
sions used in catalogues in connection
with the culture of mums: "Take the
bud August 25 to September 1," "sec-
ond crown bud, " " use early crown ' ' ?

W. N. T.

By saying, "Take the bud August 25
to September 1, " we mean that it is per-
fectly safe to take the first bud that
shows after August 25, while buds taken
before that date will not give flowers of
such good quality. I would rather give a
date that way, as it is so much simpler
than to say, "Take a first or second
crown bud." The terms "first crown,"
"second crown," etc., are misleading,
because early rooted stock will produce a
first crown bud in May, a time when most
commercial growers are only just propa-
gating their stock. Plants rooted in Feb-
ruary and grown right along will often
produce four or five buds before one
comes late enough .to be taken, and in
such eases the term "first or second
crown ' ' is useless. The term comes to us
from England, where the growers time
their blooms, and that, too, with wonder-
ful regularity. Here conditions are very
different climatically and the same
method of culture cannot be followed
with any degree of success.

By giving a date after which it is

safe to take buds, one not thoroughlj
at home in mums is relieved of a lot of
worry, and crowns and terminals need
not enter into his calculations at- all.

I presume W. N. T. is aware that
when we say ' ' taking a bud ' ' we literally
mean leaving it, rubbing off the side
shoots or buds and retaining the central
bud; that is what is meant by taking
buds. C. H. T.

NIGHT SOIL.

We think of using some night soil on
our mums and would like to have some
pointers on how much to use to a barrel
of water for applying in a liquid state.
Would a pail of night soil to a barrel
of water be too strong? J. A. K. -

Niglit soil may be used on chrysanthe-
nmms and other stock, but in its raw
state it is decidedly objectionable. The
odor, which is not exactly that of
' ' Araby the blest, ' ' will hang around the
place for weeks, and this one fact pre-
vents its use in any establishment hav-
ing any pretensions to being sanitary or
progressive. There is a preparation on
the market called Clay 's fertilizer, which,
it is claimed, is sewage matter, dried and
pulverized, and which gives splendid re-
sults. Far better use this than become
' ' a stench in the nostrils of men. ' '

The chief element of virtue in night
soil is, of course, the nitrogen. This can
be obtained from sulphate of ammonia,
nitrate of potash, nitrate of .soda, or from
the excrement of cows or sheep, in a far
more cleanly manner, and so far as I ca«
see is equally beneficial. To any reader
intending to feed with night soil I would
say, Don't! C. H. Totty.

COLEUS FOR STOCK.

Tlu* practice of j)utting aside a few
old coleim plants for the provision of
cuttings in spring is a general one, but,
like a good many common praetices,
not incapable of improvement. These
old plants are often none too clean,
mealy bug and scale being in many cases
firmly established on them. This is bad
for the plants themselves, and their ulti-
mate progeny, and bad, too, for other
plants occui)ying the same structure.
How much iKjtter is it to select a few
healthy cuttings now, and throw away
the old plants. These cuttings root with
the greatest facility, and, if pinched
when struck, will give far better and
cleaner material for wintering than the
old stagers. By removing the tops of
these youngsters in spring, not only are
nice young cuttings provided, but the
framework of a good specimen is laid at
'the same time, says a Euroi)ean garden-
ers' magazine.

THE HUMFELD QUARTETTE.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph of four of the Ilumfeld
brothers, all in the tlorists ' business.
Henry M. Humfeld, beginning at the
right of the picture, has a business lo-
cated in Frankfort, Ind. He has 11,000
feet of glass devoted to cut flowers and
plants. He located there eleven years
ago and is the leading florist in that
place. The next one to him is Simon

Humfeld, of Muncie, Tnd. He has about
23,000 feet of glass and grows cut flow-
ers and plants for bedding. He located
at Muncie about eighteen years ago,
when natural gas was abundant. He
has been successful in his undertaking
and is now the leader in the business in
that city. The next brother is Ed A.
Humfeld, who has a business at 8ixtli
and Paseo streets, Kansas City. He lias
about 10,000 feet of glass, growing cut
flowers and plants. He grows a great
many {)lants for Electric park. He has
charge of all plants and lawns »t that
park.

To the left of the picture is W. H.
Humfeld, of the W. H. Hjimfeld
Floral Co., whose place of business is at
Ninth and Highland avenue, Kansas
City. He has about 23,000 feet of glass
and grows cut flowers and plants. He
has been in this place fifteen years. He
has the reputation of filling more porch
])oxes than any other florist in that city.

There is one more brother in the busi-
ness, at Clay Center, Kan., who does
not appear in this group. This brother
is Charles Humfeld, the verbena king.
His face is well known by his advertis-
ing in the Review. He has about 30,000
feet of glass, devoted mostly t(» rooted
cuttings. He started in business there
about seventeen years ago and his busi-
ness has. grown to such an extent that
this spring he could not any way near
fill his orders, which came from all over
the United States.

Marguerites.

During the summer montiis margue-
rites persist in throwing flower buds on
every shoot and it is difficult to secure
suitable cuttings for propagating pur-
poses. Now, witli the cooler nights and
heavier night dews, the plants are grow-
ing rapidly and it is possible to secure
a good quantity of excellent cuttings.
Marguerites are among the most popular
of market pot plants and the cut flowers
meet with an increasing sale each year,
being disposed of without trouble when
roses and carnations are quite druggy.
From cuttings taken now, fine j^lants for
spring sales can be grown. Both the
white and j'ellow forms sell well as cut
flowers, perhaps the latter having the
best call.

There arc several varieties of margue-
rites in commerce, the most recent ac-
quisition being the beautiful Queen Alex-
.andra. Young jilants of this rlo not
bloom so early as the other varieties and ,
where they are wanted in bloom for the
Christmas holidays it is better to propa-
gate late in the spring and pot on as
needed, pinching out all flower buds as
they appear, f'ine stock may be had of
any of the marguerites by adopting this
plan. It is in the spring, however, that
the demand for marguerites is best. Both
at Easter and Memorial day they are
good sellers, either in pots or cut. Give
,ajiy old plants you may have a light,
sunny house and give them a shift into
their blooming pots now. If the cut-

tings put in are well watered and siiaded,
they will be fit to pot oft" in three weeks
an(l should be potted off as soon as tlie
roots are an inch long. Grow them cool,
airy and sunny and they will grow sur-
prisingly fast.

Azalcjtt.

It will be a few weeks yet before the
new Belgian imjwrtations of azaleas
come to hand, but you may have some
left-over plants from last season, which
have been planted outside and which can
now be lifted and potted at any time.
Azaleas like a compost of leaf-mold,
sand and peat, but will do well in loam
instead of peat. It is better not to use
any manure when j)otting. Tlie roots of
these liard-wooded plants are numerous,
but fine and hair-like. Prick away as
nuich loose soil as you can with a pointed
stick, in order to get them in pots, of
moderate size. Be sure to pot 'firmly.
Use a pointed stick rammer and, after
placing the ball in the center of the pot,
shake some of the compost around the
sides, give the pot a thump on the pot-
ting beiujh to settle it down; then use
the rammer. Continue this proceeding
until the soil is packed firmly all around
the sides of the pots. All hard-wooded
plants need this care in potting; it is
not sufficient to scatter a little compost
around the ball, press in with the fingers
and thumb, give the pot a shake and call
to the boy for the next.

Azaleas, after being potted, may be
stood in the open air for a time, or
placed in a cold house. If kept syringed
for a few days they will quickly recover
from their temporary check and start
rooting. Kept-over plants usually force
more readily than the freshly imported
ones.

Adiantums.

An indispensable adjunct to every es
tablishnient doing any retail trade is a
good batch of maidenhair ferns. The
fronds are always in request; even the
customer who comes to you for a quar-
ter's worth of flowers will expect it to
be liberally sprinkled with adiantum
fronds. We hope you have looked after
your plants well during the summer, in
which case they will be well furnished
with quantities of rich, dark fronds. Con-
tinue to keep them well shaded. Adian-
tums grown in light houses have tougher
foliage, maybe, but it is pale in coloi
as compared with those produced under
more shade. The dark green brand al-
ways sells the best.

eiate some feeding. Alternate doses of
weak cow manure and ' soot water are
safer than chemicals. Once a week is
often enough to feed.

Plants in rather small pots, if badly
potbound, may still be given a shift.
Scratch the ball with a sharp stick and
drain the pots well.

Adiantum euneatum is still more
grown than all other varieties combined.
It remains the best all-round kind for
the average florist to handle. Jt suc-
ceeds well in any house where a night
temperature of 5.5 degrees to 60 degrees
in winter is kept. Adiantum Farleyense
prefers a warmer house. It is inostly
in the hands of specialists, who give it
the attention and conditions which are
impossible to the every-day florist. Where
a house can be devoted to this fern, with
the necessary heat, it is not difficult to
grow. The fronds are always in request
for choice decorations or funeral work.

Nephrolepis.

No ferns sell like the nephrolepis. It
is not many years since the Boston fern,
Nephrolepis exaltata Bostoniensis, was
practically the only sort grown. Since
then we had successively Piersoni, Bar-
rowsii, Scottii, Elegantissima, Whitman!
and several others whose stars were
quickly set, and we are promised a flood
of additional sports in addition to Todea-
oides and Amerpohlii, which are both
beautiful. In spite of the accession of
new varieties, the old Boston fern still
meets with a big sale. Scottii is popular
with many. Elegantissima has many ad-
mirers and Whitmani is popular with
everyone who has grown it.

Now is the time to dig up and place
in pots or pans a good batch of the
^)lants you have had growing in the
benches during summer. If carefully
lifted, they will sustain little check and
will be well established before Thanks-
giving, by which date there will be con-
siderable demand for ferns of this class.
Give the plants a close, moist house until
well established, then move them to cool-
er and airier conditions. Be careful in
watering the heavily fronded varieties
not to Met them, as careless use of the
hose will soon raise havoc with this class
of ferns. They do not require heavy
shade, like adiantums.

Sfloall Femt.

There is always a good call for small
ferns, especially those suitable for fill-
ing fern dishes. Few florists raise their
own stock of these, preferring to buy
what they need each fall from special-
ists handling big quantities. The pres-
ent is a good time to place orders for
whatever may be needed in this line, in
order that they may be delivered while
the weather is warm. Give them a bench
in a north house for a while and keep
them well shaded. As the weather grows
cooler, place them where they can get a
minimum temperature of 55 degrees.
Look out for snails and lay traps for
any which may trouble the adiantums.
Dusting among the pots with air-slaked
lime is sometimes necessary. A good plan
is to move the pots from the bench and
give it a soaking with boiling water.
This will clean out the snail family ef-
fectually.

Brief Reminders.

Give early Lilium Harrisii wanted, for
CTiristmas a bench where a temperature
of 60 degrees is maintained. Be careful
not to overwater. Better keep a little on
the dry side.

. Keep the soil well stirred among bien-
nials and perennials re<;ently trans-
planted. The heavy fall rains bake the
ground hard and jdants will not grow
satisfactorily under sucli conditions.

Finish the transplanting of evergreens
by the middle of September. It is too
early yet to move deciduous trees and
shrubs.

Use care in watering primulas, espe-
cially of the Chinese type. S<;ratch the
surface of the pots. Use the watering
jK)t instead of the hose for this section.

Pinch gardenias and keep them well
s{)rayed to free them from mealy bug.

Reduce the amount of shading on the
houses. Outside of palms, ferns and
some other foliage subjects, the majority
of plants will now need full sunlight.

Take advantage of wet days to wash
down glass and wootlwork. All possible
light will be needed before long.

Do not crowd your nephrolepis speci-
mens. Give them room to show their
symmetry. Elevate the largest plants, or
hang them from the roof. Be sure to
give them plenty of water.

Give your early batch of Roman hya-
cinths and Paper Whites another soaking.
They dry out fast at this season, even in
a cellar.

Do not allow mildew to get a foothold
on roses. Fire heat will now be a neces-
sity on damp days.

Sponge palms and Other decorative
plants when time permits.

Have you an ample supply of bulb
pans, flower pots and flats for fall use?
If not, get in a stock without delay.

THE SEASON'S START.

Here is a partially rainy day, for
which we feel duly thankful, having had
so little rain this summer. And as I sit
down to my writing it comes to me that
it is again September; the convention,
with its pleasures, inspirations, etc., is a
thing of the past and we are again at
the threshold of the growers' fall season.
It will be but a short time ere we find
ourselves hard at the old tasks that the
past warm weather has freed us from —
picking, bunching, packing, shipping,
cleaning, watering, airing, firing and all
the many details that go to the care of
a season 's crop.

Particular care should be taken from
this time on that the plants have all the
light possible. If you did not grow your
plants in the house, but have lifted them
and brought them in, see to it that the
shading is entirely removed as soon as
they have taken hold. And give them all
the air possible, keeping them in a
thrifty, growing condition. Under no cir-
cumstances let them make a soft, quick
growth, but by all the light and air pos-
sible, and by judicious watering, main-
tain a stiff, stocky, hardy, healthy clump.

As I have often remarked, the time
when you must begin to pick must neces-
sarily determine how long you will con-
tinue to pick off the buds now forming.

It is well to keep them off for some time,
thereby strengthening your plant, unless
you especially desire the early blooms
and have the market for them.

The growing of violets in any quantity
is at the best very tedious and monoto-
nous work, and the only way to have it
profitable or satisfactory is by all the
time keeping ahea<l of your work and, by
sq doing, reducing the work to a mini-
mum and keeping the standard up to the
maximum. In order to accomplish this
desired end, everything must be taken by
the forelock. Not a single aphis of any-
kind should be allowed to appear ; no
snails, sow bugs, centipeds or any other
variety of live stock, either new or old;
not a dead leaf or a runner; no soddeik
soil or anything tending toward an im-
perfectly kept house.

Of course you attended long ago to
the heating apparatus and know that this
is in perfect order for the winter, so that
later, when it may be necessary to start a
little heat, all that you will have to do
will be to lay your fire and touch the
match to it. It is a great relief to a
grower of any kind of plants, at this
season of the year, to feel that every-
thing is in readiness for a hard winter's
firing, including a full coal bin, so that a
winter strike of the miners has no terrors
for him. R. E. Shuphelt.

TROUBLE WITH GERANIUMS

We send some sample branches of
geraniums. You will see that they are
full of disease and we would like to
know what it is; also how to clean the
plants. Tliese are plants growing in the
open air for propagating on next season.
S. & N.

The shoots and leaves received were
badly diseased and should not on any ac-
count be used for propagating purposes.
Tlie plants are evidently starved and
stunted, if the shoots sent are typical
ones. It is difficult to tell what has
caused the trouble. If your stock was
planted out late, was badly potbound and
perhaps dry at the root when put in the
ground, it would fall an easy prey to
disease. Climatic influences often cause
blighting of the foliage, damp, muggy
weather without sunshine being specially
favorable to its spread.

I would suggest the purchasing of
some clean stock. Nothing but disap-
pointment can follow propagating from
your own plants, if they are all like the
samples seen. Plant out your stock in
an open, sunny spot next season, and do
not depend on the left-overs from your
season's sales. Set out good jilauts early
in June and we see no reason why you
aliould not have clean, thrifty cuttings
next fall. c. W.

METHOD OF APPLYING MANURE.

In a recent article on "Hen Manure
and Its Value" you advise sowing it
broadcast after being screened and mixed
with dry soil. Now, do you plow it under
or sow it after the ground is planted?

I have supposed that the best plan for
using it in the hill was to mix it with
soil and rot it thoroughly before using.
I have also been told that a good way to
do is to sow it broadcast in the fall and
plow under. Would be glad to have your
opinion. l. M. G.

To insure proper decomposition of ma-
nure, both air and moisture are necessary,
while extreme dryness or too much water
will arrest it. *

chickea niauure and three-fourths good

it over at intervals to allow aecess of air,
until ready to use it, would be in accord-
ance with the principles as laid down by
Dr. Voelker and Messrs. Laws and Gil-
bert, experts in this class of work.

By sowing it in the fall, either broad-
<'ast or in hills or drills, and plowing it
under, there would be no loss of its most
valuable constituents, nitrogen, phos-
I>horic acid and potash, which by this
process would be in an assimilable form

THE DEATH ROLL.

Flint Kennicott.

Flint Kennicott died as he had lived
a good share of his life — in the market,
rt was at about 11:30 Monday morning,
September 9, that he was mounting the
^teps from the barber shop in the base-
ment at 22 Randolph street when he was
ivercome and sank to the sidewalk. An
t.nbulance was summoned and he re-
f lined consciousness suflSciently to ask
lo be taken to his firm's store, at 48
Wabash, but by the time he had reached
there he was again fainting and was
carried to St, Luke's hospital, where he
breathed his last in a few moments. An
inquest was held and the cause of death
decided to be an organic disease of the
heart,

Mr. Kennicott was president of tlie
Kennicott Bros, Co, and the dean of the
wholesalers in the Chicago cut flower
market. He was the first man to rely
for a livelihood wholly upon wholesaling
cut flowers on a commission basis, and
had been actively and continuously en-
gaged in the business longer than any
other man in the market. To his fore-
sight and enterprise, as much as to any
other factor, was due the early develop-
ment of the Chicago wholesale market —
Hnd in his later years he kept' in step
with its progress, though health had
l)een failing for some time and his activ-
ity was much lessened by his implacable
foe, rheumatism,

Mr. Kennicott was the youngest son
of the late Dr. John A, Kennicott, a
pioneer settler of Illinois, He was born
fifty-nine years ago, at the family home
at The Grove, near DesPlaines, 111, In
his youth he followed the profession of
an actor, and old-timers remember him
well as playing "The Two Orphans,"
with Katie Putnam, in which the two
made a great success, appearing all over
the United States, Mr, Kennicott 's old-
est brother, Amaza, who died at The
Grove April 7, 1907, was probably the
pioneer in tho growing of outdoor flow-
ers for the Chicago market. He had been
engaged in this for so many years that
at the date of his death the exact date
of the first sales had been lost. About
1880 he induced his brother, Flint, to
join him in opening a retail flower store
on Wabash avenue, A little later, ap-
preciating the opportunities which lay
before a wholesale flower store in Chi-
cago, they started wholesaling at 27
Washington street, in a basement where
the Marshall Field building now stands.
Amaza Kennicott withdrew after a time,
but Flint continued to give his whole
time and attention to the business from
that day. The vicissitudes were many,
but the record of the house was kept
•without blemish and since its incorpora-
tion, about ten years ago, it has had the
smoothest of sailins;, with Mr, Kennicott
MS prf»8ident, G, H. Pieser as secretary

and K, K. Pieser as treasurer. Mr. Ken-
nicott, of course, through his many years
of connection with the trade, had a wide
circle of acquaintances and it was al-
ways a pleasure to have him tell of the
days when the flower business was in
embryo. His memory of men and events
was of the clearest in spite of his fail-
ing physical i»owers. He had the con-
fidence and respect of all who knew him
either personally or by reputation, for
his acts always were in accord with jus-
tice and his judgments tempered by con-
sideration for others. He leaves a wid-
ow, two unmarried daughters and a son.
The funeral was held at Graceland
chapel at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of

September 11, a large number being
present and the floral display elaborate.
The Chicago Florists' Club, of which
Mr, Kennicott was an old member, at-
tended in a body, »? a mark of respect
all the wholesale cut flower houses in the
Chicago market closing during the hour
in which the funeral services were held.
Interment was at Arlington Heights,
beside the body of his brother and part-
ner, Amaza, who had preceded him to
this last resting place by only five
months, Mr. Kennicott had not had a
photograph taken in many years. The
one appearing herewith was printed in
the initial number of the Revibw, Decem-
ber 2, 1897, and is his latest portrait.

THE FUTURE OF THE DAHLIA.

The dahlia, so long a favorite flower
with many flprists, has certainly attained
a popularity undreamed of by those who
first undertook the culture of the dahlia.
The question of its future will doubtless
also engage the closest attention of the
specialists who champion the cause of
this most showy group of plants.

Already in some quarters we perceive
signs of a strong movement against the
present race of cactus dahlias, a move-
ment which is antagonistic to formal
types and conventional designs. This
new tendency will sooner or later chal-
lenge the very existence of the stiff,
formal type of cactus dahlias, and varie-
ties which are at present regarded as

representative of the best of the exhibi-
tion type, will be disregarded. Although
cactus dahlias are largely used, often as
cut flowers for large vases, yet the ar-
rival of a better type for decorative pur-
j)oses will rapidly displace them from
their position.

The single dahlias, some of which are
most refined in appearance and dainty
in coloring, arc still a specialty with a
few leading growers. New varieties are
(juietly being added to the group year by
year, and when the tide turns in favor
of this useful type many will be sur-
I)rised at the beauty and charm of the
varieties which have been added of late.
That the tide will turn strongly in their
favor there is no doubt, for as the pop-
ular fancy tires of the stiff, pointed
glories of the cactus group, they will be
impelled to return to the graceful dim-
j)licity of the singles. And what a user
ful section they are, valuable for cut-
ting, light in formation, and easy to ar-
range, as they possess long, stiff stems,
and go well with their own foliage, or
branching sprays of late summer and
autumn leaves.

But one may, perhaps, be pardoned
for stating that with the new peony
flowered section lies, to a large extent,
the future of the dahlia. But such a
statement will be realized sooner or
later, for even at this time they are
filling a large part of the dahlia talk,
both in England and on the continent.
In them we see the results of the ebbing
tide of formality, stereotyped design,
regularity of petal. The newcomers, with
their pleasing, loosely arranged petals,
irregularity of form, and their absolute
disregard of the conventional florists'
types, to which may be added the nat-
ural beauty of the golden centers, will
assuredly come to the front, — P, S. Hay

CONNECTED HOUSES.

[A paper by George Robinson, of Outreinout,
Que., read before the Canadian Horticultural
AHsoclatlon, In conyentlon at London, Ont., Aiv
>f>i8t 29, 1907.]

The first consideration in constructing,
maintaining and running a commercial
establishment is economy, and the con-
nected house style is certainly to be rec-
ommended in this respect, for several
reasons. First among these is economy in
land investment. This is a great con-
sideration, especially among florists in
(dose proximity to a city where land is
quickly becoming too valuable for flo-
rists' uses. The connected style of green-
houses will allow the florist the use of
practically every foot of land, thereby
realizing the same amount of produce
from two-thirds the amount of land re-
quired to erect separate houses.

There is a great saving in cost of con-
struction and up-keep. The sides of
greenhouses are costly to erect and are a
source of expense forever afterward. This
is the part of a house where decay sets
in, and they have to be renewed fre-
quently— not to mention houses getting
out of shape and glass loosening all over
the roof, to be lifted out some fine, cold,
windy night, A stronger construction i»
obtained in block houses at less expense
for foundations, and the wider the block
naturally the greater the 8a>'ing in con-
struction and maintenance.

There is also a great saving in fuel,
in favor of connected over separate
houses. Houses in blocks twenty feet
wide require ten runs of steam pipes to
maintain a rose temperature in our local-
ity, in the province of Quebec; if sepfl-

rate, the same size of house requires
fourteen runs. This means forty per
cent additional boiler plant, forty per
cent additional piping and forty per cent
additional fuel. Add to this the expense
of extra mains and returns, which are
needed for separate houses — and which
in some cases have to be run underground
or possibly outdoors — and you will realize
the advantages of connected over sepa-
rate houses.

Snow Storms Not Troublesome.

When we first built connected houses
all sorts of troubles were predicted for
us from the heavy snow storms which we
experience in our latitude, but, as a mat-
ter of fact, we have had practically no
trouble at all. Iron being a conductor of
heat, the snow will melt during an ordi-
nary snow storm nearly as fast as it falls.
On the other hand, after a severe storm
I have seen the gutters full of snow from
ridge to ridge. Two days afterward the
gutters were clear, while the north sides
of the separate houses were partly cov-
ered with snow, owing to the ice hanging
on the eaves and preventing the snow
from sliding off. Of course this applies
to iron construction. I would not, under
any circumstances, favor connected houses
with wood gutters in this locality, but
with iron gutters and a run of steam
pipes under each gutter, no trouble will
be experienced from snow. Not only is
the glass clear practically all winter,
when light means growth, but the break-
age of glass is practically nil, unless un-
der exceptional circumstances such as we
had to contend with last year, when it
was raining and freezing at the same
time, forming a coat of ice all over the
glass, which, as it thawed, slipped down
in chunks and broke the glass on the op-
posite roof. This has only happened once
in four years, and in consideration of the
advantages above named we are willing
to overlook this one break.

Evenness of Temperature.

Regarding the advantages of connected
over separate houses from the growers'
standpoint, I would not like to go on rec-
ord as saying that better results can be
obtained in block houses, but will try to
point out some of the advantages of large
blocks of houses over smaller, separate
houses for the cultivation of flowers and
plants. It is a recognized fact that a
better circulation of air can be obtained
and a more even temperature maintained
in a large than in a small house, for the
reason that in separate houses variations
of heat and cold are localized, mainly
owing to the fact that the bulk of the
heating pipes have to be placed near the
sides of the houses, which are the coldest
places. This is especially the case in
small houses, and every grower knows
the trouble and loss resulting from this
excessive heat. Not only does red spider
breed here, but the plants next the pipes
always have a dried-up appearance which
is not noticeable before heavy firing com-
mences, and disappears entirely after
firing ceases. On the other hand, in a
block of houses the heating pipes can be
distributed in single or double runs along
every path, and a more even temperature,
without excessive heat in any one part of
the house, can be maintained.

Admission of Light.

Advocates of separate houses claim
better light by the prevention of the roof
of one shading its neighboring house and
by the admission of light at the side;
but the modern construction of connected

Gladiolus America.

houses has so reduced the light-obstruct-
ing features of the roof as to much
weaken the force of this contention. An
iron gutter five inches wide throws very
little shade, and this shade is not station-
ary by any means. The shadow cast by
the gutter moves with the sun, and there
is absolutely no space in connected houses
that cannot be utilized to full advantage.
On the other hand, the advantage that
advocates of separate houses claim in the
increasing of the width and consequently
the height of separate houses is in itself
an argument in favor of connected
houses, since, as far as side light and
equal distribution of heat are concerned,
there is practically no difference bfetween
a single house 150 feet wide and a block
of connected houses 150 feet wide; but
the circulation of air will be much more
perfect in the block of houses than in the
said single house.

For the wliolesale grower of cut flow-
ers connected houses have a great eco-
nomical advantage over separate houses,
and the produce from these blocks cer-
tainly cannot be excelled by the produce
from spparatc lionses. That fact is

strongly in evidence at such places as the
Dale estate, J. H. Dunlop's, W. Gam-
mage's, and many smaller establishments
throughout the country.

For the retail grower who grows a lit-
tle of everything, connected houses may
not be such a great advantage as to the
larger grower, unless two or more houses
of one class of plants are grown, when
connected houses can be built and prove
a success, both from a grower's and from
an economic point of view.

But whatever houses you intend to
build, be sure to use iron gutters, or
eaves, as the case may be, not only for
their lasting qualities, but for the sake
of light in winter and the saving from
the non-breakage of glass.

GLADIOLUS AMERICA.

Gladiolus America, which has been
in a few of the wholesale markets in
previous seasons, at first under the name
of Ruben H. Warder, which is the title
given it by Frank Banning, of Kins-
man. O., is now seen in all the prin-
cipal markets. Since John Lewis

< 'liilds bought the stock of this gladiolus
from Mr. Banning, he has distributed it
widely and its commercial value has
been tested in smaller markets than
heretofore. In practically every city
where it has been offered it has sold
better than any other gladiolus received
this season. The wholesale price has
usually been double that of any other
variety of the outdoor crop, $1 per
dozen spikes being readily paid by re-
tail florists after they have found how
well the variety takes with their cus-
tomers. Those who bought stock from
Cliilds are not reaping any great profits
in the sale of cut blooms this season,
(^hilds asked $75 per thousand corms, so
that the grower is hardly getting his
money back, but he is getting an in-
crease in stock, which will increase the
production of cut blooms next season.
Wholesalers agree that there should bo
no material reduction in wholesale prices
because of a large increase in the supply
of the cut spikes next season.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The Jewish New Year had its usual
inspiring influence upon the market and,
especially on Saturday, the demand for
Beauties was far ahead of the supply.
The good eflfect of the holiday carried
over into Monday and Tuesday, and
everything of quality in stock arriving
was cleaned up closely.

The fact is, there is a scarcity yet of
first-class stock in almost every line.
Even in asters and gladioli the best sell
readily and at good prices. "Tliere is
.'ilways room at the top ' ' and there is al-
ways a certainty of disposing of a first-
class article at satisfactory prices in the
New York market.

The weather of September's first week
was depressing. Rain, and clouds, and
Immidity daily. Lots of second and third-
class stuff has, in consequence, sought
this outlet, with unsatisfactory results.
Poor stock of everything has gone beg-
ging. But the cloiuls are fast passing.
The schools arc opening, the society peo-
ple are coming back and soon everybody
will be busy and the strenuous anxieties
of the dead montlis forgotten. We look
for the revival right away and wholesale
and retail New York are ready for it.

The fear of a panicky condition and
relaxed confidence in the business world
seems to have been dissipated. We hear
only optimistic predictions as to the com-
ing season. The retailers all have made
ready for it and the wholesalers, too, have
spared neither time nor expense in pre-
paring themselves for the anticipated in-
crease, which must naturally come, with
increased wealth and j.opulation in the
community.

The out-of-town call last week was the
best of the year at the fashionable sum-
mer resorts. The prince woke things up
at Newport, where the season has been
none too satisfactory. There are few
long-stemmed roses yet. Carnations
lengthen slowly. A few were worth 2
cents the first of the week. Valley is im-
proving. Some grand stock from Schul-
theis commanded 3 cents September 9.
Dahlias are arriving of good quality and
xn many varieties. Tlie cactus kinds seU
fast. Orchids are both scarce and popu-
lar. The trade could easily take many
times the quantity reaching headquarters.
A great demand this Avinter is antici-
pated.

Qub Meeting.

The first autumn meeting of the New
Y'ork Florists' Club took place Septem-
ber 9, President Totty in the chair.
About fifty members were present. The
meeting was a most enthusiastic one.
The new rooms in the Murray Hill ly-
ceum, 160 East Thirty-fourth street,
seemed to give general satisfaction. They
are convenient, cheery and large enough
for exhibitions.

The semi-annual report of the secre-
tary showed a balance of nearly $2,500
in the treasury. Several standing and
special committees reported and Walter
Sheridan, for the trustees, reported that
it had been decided to recommend that
the fee for life membership be placed at
$75. Mr. Totty made a plea for the ulti-
mate permanent home of the club and
announced that the new rooms had been
secured for the year at a rental of $200.
An appropriation of $50 for the house
committee was made.

The resignation of L. W. Wheeler as
member and treasurer of the clu]? was
received Avith regret and a message was
sent him to his new home in Pasadena,
Cal., wishing him health, wealth and hap-
piness. The rules were temporarily sus-
pended to admit of the immediate elec-
tion of a treasurer.

The committee on nominations, ap-
pointed for the purpose, suggested the
names of Walter Sheridan and John Don-
aldson. Mr. Donaldson resigned and
.1. K. Allen was nominated. The vote re-
sulted, Sheridan, 23; Allen, 20; Schultz,
1, and Mr. Sheridan was declared elected.
On motion of Mr. Allen the vote was
made unanimous. Mr. Sheridan resigned
as a trustee.

The resignations of F. G. Mentz, of
Oyster Bay, and Irving C. Harris, of
Cambridge, Mass., were received and ac-
cepted with regret. Messrs. Barron, Hen-
drickson and Duggan were proposed for
membership.

The new president of the S. A. F. was
called upon and made an interesting ad-
dress, asking united support to make the
1908 meeting at Niagara Falls the best
in- the history of the society. He also
spoke in behalf of the national flower
show in Chicago, urging all the members
to unite in making it a great success,
and expressed a hope that the next na-
tional show may be in New York City.

Harry Bunyard, John Young, Patrick
O'Mara, Charles Lenker, John Birnie,
S. S. Butterfield, Harry Turner and oth-
ers spoke of convention pleasures and
some of them suggested ways whereby the
S. A. F. could strengthen its work. Will-
iam Duckham exhibited his silver cup,
won at Philadelphia. Rev. McGee Pratt
was among the speakers.

•Tohn Lewis Childs, Floral Park, ex-
liibited twenty-seven varieties of gladioli
and received the commendation of the
committee on awards.

Harrv Turner's exhibit of six fine
plants in distinct colors of his Colosia
pyraniidalis, Pride of Ca-stle Gould, re-

Varioui Notes.

Another expert orchid grower has gone
into the business on his own account. John
Ingram, pf Great Neck, has leased the
three Sonecawana Greenhouses and one
and one-half acres of land at Oyster Bay
and will gi-ow orchids and carnations, as
well as doing landscape work there.

The outing committee of the New York
Florists' Club is able to announce a sur-
plus of over $50 above all expenses as the
result of the vearlv celebration. The

total receipts from all sources, including
subscriptions, advertising and prizes,
amounted to over $1,000.

One of the results of the ball game at
the Philadelphia convention was a par-
tially paralyzed arm, caused by a hit
from a thrown ball, which Phil Kessler
is still nursing.

Jules Vacherof, a leading landscape
gardener of Paris, arrived in New York ]
September 8. His object in visiting this /
country is a study of American landscape
architecture, and also to find a remedy
tor the pests which are ruining the trees
of Paris.

The Richmond County Agricultural So-
ciety's fair on Staten Island last week
was a great success. The exhibits of fruits
and flowers by the local florists were
large and creditable. The Elizabeth
Nursery made a display of well grown
stock, and John Lewis Childs donated a
splendid display of gladioli. The finest
exhibit was that of Bobbink & Atkins, of
Rutherford. Over 100 varieties of ever-
greens were on exhibition and three of
the representatives of the firm gave the
entire week to the care of the stock.

H. H. Berger & Co. report a great au-
tumn trade, their new center having
proved a most desirable advance in room,
shipping facilities, etc., for their fall im-
portations.

Phil Hauswirth and George Asmus,
with their wives, have been spending the
week at the Ocean avenue residence of
Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Traendly in Brooklyn.

H. E. Froment has returned from his
mountain refuge at Stamford, N. Y. He
hardly knew his headquarters, his em-
ployees having completely redecorated in
his absence. Every wholesaler has bees
busy in refreshing and refurnishing his
place of business. The "clean up" has
been universal. Never saw New York
from Twenty-sixth to Thirtieth streets
quite so slick before.

W. G. Saltford, of Poughkeepsie, was
in the city September 7. His son left
the same day for an ocean trip to Maine,
in an effort to rid himself of hay fever.

George Saltford is enjoying a few
weeks at Rhinebeck and presumably tell-
ing a few dozen more farmers in that
perfumed country "How to Make Money
Growing Violets."

A. Warendorff, whose summer home is
at Averne-by-the-Sea, decorated the first
prize automobile in the great carnival
completed there on Labor day. Cornu-
copias of choicest flowers were the best
feature of the decoration.

W. A. Donohoe had a big wedding at
Grace church September 7, using great
quantities of asters, hydrangeas and
lilies. He also decorated the tables at
the Simpson bachelor dinner at Delmon-
ico 's.

W. H. Gunther has had a happy sum-
mer at Sea Girt, N. J., and John has
been absorbing' health at Atlantic City,
with the Philadelphia convention and
American Association ball park on the
side.

W. Taat is in the city from a trip to
Europe, representing M. Van Waveren &
Sons, of Hillegom, Holland, and several
other European houses.

A window of Boddington's butterfly
begonias attracted much attention last
week, in twenty-five varieties of single
and double tuberous beauties, that I
have never seen excelled.

The summer schedule of hours in the
wholesale section is off and it is ope»

^ptember 7, and suggests that the first
week in September would be a better one
for the S. A. F. convention, because so
many of the smaller florists, having by
that time completed their plantings,
could attend, where now it is impossible
for them to be away.

Joseph Fenrich and family have re-
turned to their city home after a two
months' holiday at Asbury Park, N. J.

Three boxes of violets of excellent qual-
ity reached the New York market Sep-
tember 9, the first of the season.

Charles Weber has completed a new
200-foot house for Victory, Imperial and
Pink Imperial carnations,

Robert Berry returned from Canton
Monday, where he has been superintend-
ing the tree planting on the McKinley
memorial grounds for Wadley & Smythe.

The autumnal auction season will begin
September 17, when William Elliott's
familiar voice will float out upon the
breezes at 201 Fulton street. The initial
sale will be of special interest because
the plants to be offered are decorative
stock, including some large kentias, for
which there is a big demand just now.

Arthur Hunt, of Langjahr's force, en-
tertained the stork September 8, on the
arrival of a baby boy.

F. Lautenschlager, of the Kroeschell
Bros. Co., Chicago, was in the city over
Sunday, the guest of A. J. Guttman, and
celebrated his arrival by placing a No. 10
boiler with John Scott, of Flatbush.

O. V. Zangen's new wholesale cut
flower store is on the first floor of the
Ooogan building.

Joseph Leikens' store on East Thirty-
third street was opened for the season

be back from Newport September 15.

Alex. McConnell is sending glowing ac-
counts of European travel from the con-
tinent. He is expected home early in
October.

John King Duer, of 644 Madison ave-
nue, is summering at the Maine resorts,

turned from a trip to the popular society
centers, including Long Branch, Lenox,
Newport and Bar Harbor.

BOSTON.

The Market.

The wet weather which at last ef-
fectually broke the drought last week,
proved discouraging for business, but
the conditions now are somewhat im-
proved and all good stock meets with a
ready sale. Roses are not of more than
moderate quality, but are improving. A
few more carnations are arriving, of the
new crop. They are not yet of much
size, but, such as they are, sell well.
Sweet peas were practically finished by
the late rains. Asters are in good sup-
ply, although the drenching rains ruined
many of these and other outdoor flowers.

Some tuberoses are seen, but they meet
with a slow sale. Cosmos also is seen in
moderate lots. Gladioli are less abun-
dant. Speciosum lilies now come from
outdoors. Lilium Harrisii is just about
<K}ual to the demand. Lily of the valley
is only of fair quality. The demand is
rather light for adiantum, smilax and
Hsparagus. The quality of all green
stock is exceptionally good.

Dahlia Exhibition.

The show September 4 and 5 was the
finest ever held in Boston and we doubt
if it was ever equaled in America, in

so far as dahlias are concerned. The
New England Dahlia Society has done
much missionary work in the last year
and the remarkable interest taken in the
exhibits attested the growing popularity
of its pet flower. T'he main exhibition
hall and lecture hall were almost entirely
devoted to dahlias and competition in
the various classes was remarkably keen.
Among the largest and most successful
exhibits were those of W. W. Rawson &
Co., Mr». H. A. Jahn, Johnson & Hall,
J. K. Alexander, J. H. Flint, E. W.
Ela, W. H. Symonds, Mrs. R. O. Rich-
ardson, W. D. Hathaway, F. L. Tinkham,
Geo. H. Walker, W. D. Moon, N. A.
Lindsey and Mrs. L. M. Towle. The
cactus and decorative varieties seemed
to be the most interesting to visitors,
but there was a noticeable falling off
in the singles.

In the class calling for the largest
display of named varieties W. W. Raw-
son & Co. staged what was undoubtedly
the finest exhibit ever seen in Boston.
Numerous large trumpet vases were used
to break up the flatness of the display.
This firm staged over 3,000 specimen
blooms in some 500 varieties. There were
many fine seedlings shown. Johnson &
Hall have a superb display of these.

Non-competitive groups of dahlias
were staged by Mrs. E. M. Gill, who also
had other seasonable flowers; W. Whit-
man, Geo. B. Gill, Forbes & Gillette, H.
A. Jordan, Sanderson & Lindvall, A, F,
Eastbrook and Mrs, J. B, Laurence. A,
H. Wingett, gardener to Charles Lanier,
received a certificate for a fine yellow
show dahlia, of which he staged a large
vase. Sidney Hoffman also received a
certificate of merit for artistic arrange-
ments of dahlias in the forms of wreaths,
table centerpieces, etc., all of which were
very effective.

Among other displays, B. Hammond
Tracy had a grand collection of gladioli,
many bemg his own seedlings. Certifi-
cates were awarded to Princess Sander-
soni, the best white gladiolus in Mr.
Tracy 's estimation, and Jean Dieu la Foy.
C. S. Sargent, C. Sander gardener, re-
ceived honorable mention for Gladioli
Georges Frick and Baron J. Hulat, both
Lemoinei varieties.

R. & J. Farquhar & Co. had an exten-
sive display of eulalias and other orna-
mental grasses, with quantities of Lilium
auratum, L. PhiUppense and L. tigrinum.
Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wm. Thatcher gar-
dener, had a good group of ornamental-
leaved greenhouse plants and a dozen
Clerodendron fallax. John L. Smith, gar-
dener to Mrs. A. W. Blake, received a
certificate of merit for a large specimen
of Nephrolepis Barrowsii. H. A. Dreer
showed Nephrolepis Amerpohlii and
Nephrolepis Todeaoides, awarded honor-
able mention, the first named showing up
the best.

Rev. T. L. Dean had a collection
of helianthus; W. Whitman vases of
liliums; J. J. Rea, Helenium autumnale
superbum rosum; Harvard Botanical
Gardens, tuberous begonias, and Blue
Hill Nurseries, a grand lot of herbaceous
plants which were awarded first prize in
their class, making first prize for this
enterprising nursery at every competi-
tive show this season for perennials.
There was a fine display of fruits and
vegetables.

On September 7 the annual display of
products of children's gardens was held
at Horticultural hall. In spite of the
dry summer, there was an extensive and
excellent display of both flowers and
vegetables, competition being unusually

keen. The attendance of the public
showed the increasing interest in chil-
dren's gardens. The Mycological Society
had a good show of fungi on the same
date.

The display entirely filled the main ex-
hibition hall and competition was so,
keen that it was quite late in the after- j
noon before the judges completed their j
labors.

Various Notes.

The annual auction sale of stalls of
the Boston Cooperative Flower Growers'
Association took place, at Park Street
market, September 7, when there was a
large attendance of buyers. First choice
went to Peirce Bros., at a premium of
^88.50. J. A. Budlong Co. gave $87.50.
Waban Conservatories secured two at $90
each. William Nicholson paid $97.50 and
$80 for his selection ; W. W. Edgar, $75 ;
W. H. Elliott, H. N. Eaton, E. Suter-
meister, Kidder Bros, and A. Parker,
$72.50 each. Mann Bros, secured four
stalls at $62.50 each, S. J. Goddard and
T. Pegler giving similar amounts. P. G.
Richwagen paid $67.50. The sale was a,
great success, more stalls being disposed*
of than in 1906 and the premiums being
larger.

Samuel Neil has pulled down one of
his houses in Dorchester and is rebuild-
ing same, to be used for carnations.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club will
start the fall campaign September 17.
The essayist will be R. G. Leavitt on
"Hybridization." A rousing attendance
is expected.

W. W. Rawson & Co. have a magnifi-
cent display of dahlias at their Marble-
head farm. They had over 1,500 visitors
Sunday, September 1. They anticipate a
big attendance on the cnib field day,
which comes September 21.

The New England Dahlia Society made
no change in its oflScers at the annual
meeting on September 4. A salary was
voted to the secretary, Maurice FuM.
which he gracefully declined. The mem-
bership continues to grow steadily.

TTie annual meeting of the directors of
the Park Street market will occur on tlie
first Saturday in October.

Patrick Welch and family are back
from their annual vacation at Old Or-
chard, Maine. During the late disastrous
fire there, Mr. Welch performed yeoman
service in caring for burned out families.

Waban Conservatories are sending in
some good Beauty roses for the season. I '.

The garden committee o*f'*t(»fe Massjx-
chusetts Horticultural Society visited the

LYCHNIS VISCARIA.

Lychnis viscaria splendens plena is a
long name for a desirable little alpine
plant, with spikes of purple flowers al-
most like those of a stock in their dou-
bleness. It is one of the finest forms of
lychnis, which makes an excellent border
plant of much beauty. There is, however,
about these lychnises a touch of coloring
which makes them difficult to associate
with other plants in bloom at the same
time. The Avhite varieties of L. viscaria
are all right in this respect, but if we
take this colored form, or those of the
diurna or Flos-Cuculi types, we find this
defect strongly pronounced. Thus we
have to associate them mainly with white
or y6llow flowers to give them the requi-
site settings which show such a good
plant as this in perfection, according to
an English gardeners' magazine.

Have you those printed letter-heads
that you have been needing ever since
you started in business?

A FURTHER advance in the price of
tinfoil is reported to be in immediate
prospect. The demand is said to exceed
the supply.

Although never used for publication,
it is necessary for those who submit in-
quiries, to receive an answer, to sign their

Everyone in the trade will be inter-
ested in the legal action against a grower
whose neighbors hold him responsible for
the spread of cucumber blight, as re-
ported on page 33 of this issue.

THE TELEGRAPH STRIKE.

It is pretty well established that the
capital stock of the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. is largely water and that the
rates are therefore unnecessarily high. It
also is pretty certain that there is some
sort of an alliance between the Western
Union and Postal companies in restraint
of trade, as witnessed by the recent raise
in rates already high. Now business has
suffered from a month of the telegraph-
ers' strike, both sides seeming indifferent
to the rights of the public. If this is
the kind of service the people are to get
at high rates it is time Congress took a
hand, as often proposed, in running the
telegraph business of this country. There
is no justification for the present rates
except swift and accurate service. After
a month of "accepted only subject to in-
definite delay ' ' the patience of the people
is becoming exhausted.

COUNCIL OF HORTICULTURE.

There will be a meeting of the Na-
tional Council of Horticulture at the In-
side Inn, Jamestown exposition, immedi-
ately after the second session of the Con-
gress of Horticulture on the afternoon of
September 23, 1907. It is hoped there
will be a good attendance, as matters of
importance on the future policy of the
council are to be considered.

Three of the national societies — seeds-
men, florists and nurserymen — have each
appropriated $200 toward the press bu-
reau work of the Council for the coming
year. Plans for conducting this work
should be worked out. Other matters
which may be presented will be given all
possible consideration.

All national horticultural bodies are in-
vited to be represented in addition to the
four which have regular authorized dele-
gates, the following having already be-
came a part of the Council: Society of
American Florists, American Association
of Nurserymen, American Seed Trade As-
sociation and American Nutgrowers' As-
sociation. H. C. Irish, Sec 'y.

CROP REPORT.

If there is any body of men who
should be interested in the state of crops,
it is composed of those who are engaged
in the horticultural trades. Another year
of prosperity is ensured for florists,
seedsmen and nurserymen by a good har-
vest this fall. The government crop re-
port as of September 1, issued at Wash-
ington September 10, covered the leading
cereals, as follows:

The condition of spring wheat Septem-
ber 1 was 77.1, compared to 79.4 a month
before, and 83.4 at the time of the 1906
harvest. On the sown area which weath-
ered the season through the condition in-
dicated a yield of between 215,000,000
bushels and 222,000,000 bushels. The
winter wheat yield is estimated at about
409,000,000 bushels, thus bringing the
yield of winter and spring wheat up to

the total of 625,000,000 bushels. The
1906 crop of winter and spring wheat was
finally estimated at 735,000,000 bushels.

The report made the condition of corn
on the first of this month 80.2, compared
to 82.8 a month before, and 90.2 Septem-
ber 1, 1906, with a ten-year average of
81. The decline since August 1 is attrib-
uted to cool weather, which has retarded
progress of the backward crop. On an
area of 98,500,000 acres, the condition
indicates a total yield of about 2,518,-
000,000 bushels, compared to an outturn
of 2,927,000,000 bushels last year, which
marked the largest crop of the cereal in
the history of the country. The August
1 condition suggested a yield of about
2,607,000,000 bushels.

The report indicates a large shortage
in the oats crop as compared to the bum-
per yield of last year. It made the con-
dition at the time of harvest only 65.5,
compared to 75.6 August 1, and 81.9 Sep-
tember 1, 1906, with a ten-year average
of 82.6. The total outturn is popularly
estimated at about 745,000,000 bushels,
compared to a crop of 964,000,000 bushel.s
harvested last year.

ILLINOIS STATE FAIR.

The Illinois State Fair, at Springfield,
will be the occasion for a large flower
show September 30 to October 2. J. F.
Ammann, of Edwardsville, has been ap-
pointed assistant superintendent and
writes :

* * It has been requested by the Statt*
Florists' Association that a member of
the trade be put in this department and
Mr. O'Dwyer, the head of same, has seen
fit to request me to assist him. I enclose
a premium list, which, through the ef-
forts of a committee of the state associa-
tion and Mr. O'Dwyer, has been largely
increased over last year. It is our sin-
cere hope that the trade will take advan-
tage of this and make large exhibits. As
the fruit exhibit will be small this year,
on account of shortage of crop, we wUI
have much more space for our exhibits,
which will be staged in the same building,
so this is an opportune time for the flo-
rists to show the board of agriculture, as
well as the public at large, what can be
done in this line. There is no doubt that
more people see the floral displays at the
State Fair than in any two of the best
flower shows given in the best cities in
the country. So from an educational
standpoint it far exceeds anything in
this line. It comes at a time of the year
when prices are low for our products;
hence there is no great sacrifice to any
grower to show a few cut flowers. The
prizes are liberal, the same in amount as
offered by the best flower shows in the
land, so the argument is entirely in favor
of the trade. I sincerely hope that every
grower in the state will see fit to assist.
I shall be glad to send a premium list to
any who will write for it."

REMDEY FOR WHITE FLY.

Please publish a remedy for white fly.

J.S.

The most effective and, in fact, the
only remedy for white fly is hydrocyanic
acid gas. The following formula is the
one mostly in use for this pest, with the
quantities as calculated for 1,500 cubic
feet of space: Cyanide of potassium, two
and one-half ounces; sulphuric acid, one

CHICAGO.

The Great Cenlral Market.

The consensus of opinion is that last
week was decidedly dull. There was no
life to the demand and receipts were ex-
ceptionally heavy. The select stock
cleaned out fairly well, but the low
grades were sacrificed for whatever they
would bring. Wholesalers express a fair
degree of satisfaction with the money to-
tal of sales, but they say that average
returns to the growers were decidedly
low.

There is a good demand for Beauties,

especially from out of town. The city
buyers want only the medium length of
stems. With many of the houses the qual-
ity of the Beauties now is much the best
of the summer season and supplies are
fairly large. There is steady improve-
ment in the quality jaf other roses. Rich-
mond continues in large supply. Brides
and Bridesmaids are improving every
day, in length of stem and in substance,
and each day's receipts are a little heav-
ier than before. There is now quite a
large variety of roses available in this
market, including Mrs. Field, Kate Moul-
ton, Kaiserin, Carnot, La Detroit, Killar-
ney, Uncle John, Sunrise, Chatenay, Mor-
ton Grove and one or two others. Only
a few Liberties are seen.

The receipts of asters were the heav-
iest of the season in the last week and
supplies continue above good market pos-
sibilities, though with many growers it
can be seen that the crop is approaching
an end. With the later varieties the
quality is all that could be asked, but it

is impossible to find a legitimate outlet
for all. The accumulation is cleaned up
at ridiculous figures, one sale having been
noted at the rate of 20 cents a bucketful.
Carnations are beginning to be some-
tliing of a factor again. Receipts are
not yet large, but they are increasing
daily and the quality is improving. Some
good Enchantress may be had, with stems
up to a foot long. Easter lilies are not
in large supply, but there still are plenty
of auratums. Gladioli continue a glut.
A few good spikes sell, but the mixed
stock is almost valueless. Valley com-
mands ready sale. There is no special
call for green goods.

The telegraph service still is erratic
and the delivery slow and unsatisfactory.
^rany houses advise the use of the long
distance telephone or special delivery
mail as being more satisfactory.

new aster which he now is shipping to
market in considerable quantity. He has
three colors, white, lavender and En-
chantress shade of pink. It is the largest
aster coming to this market and E. C.
Amling, who handles it, says it is the
best seller of anything in the aster line
he ever has got hold of. It is understood
that Mr. Crego's object is to work up a
stock of seed which will perm'it of the
distribution of the variety in the trade.

The Orchid Situation.

During the fortnight which C. W. Mc-
Kellar spent in the east after the Phil-
adelphia convention, he looked into the
orchid situation. At present cattleyas
are remarkably scarce. To the buyer it
seems as though the crop is much less
than at any time in recent years, but Mr.
McKellar says it is largely because the
demand has increased so greatly that the
shortage is so apparent. He reports that
a good crop of Cattleya gigas will be
ready about the first part of October,
coming in nearly a month later than
usual and at about the time the fall
crop of labiata is due. Mr. McKellar
says there will be a fine crop of Den-
drobium formosum also due in about
three weeks.

Defiance and Sincerity.

Jensen & Dekema have just finished
planting their six houses. Besides the
best standard carnations, their stock in-
cludes W. N. Rudd's two new varieties,
which have been named Defiance and Sin-
cerity, and which will be ready for de-
livery January 1, 1908. They describe
Defiance as belonging to the same class as
Victory or Beacon, but the color, they

say, is a scarlet of unusual, perhaps un-
equaled, intensity and brilliance. Sin-
cerity is a salmon pink, of a shade be-
tween Enchantress and Lawson. Ten of
the forty-four benches in the range of
houses are planted to these two novelties,
and the fact that nearly one-fourth of
the available space is thus occupied may
be accepted as evidence that the firm
has a good degree of confidence in these
novelties. Mr. Dekema is still in Cali-
fornia.

Schubert is Out.

John C. Schubert, who was once a
promii\ent retail florist, on September 5
lost the position of city smoke inspector,
a 4,000-dollar job, he has held for many
years. His successor is a smoke special-
ist. Schubert succeeded Gallagher at the
stand at Wabash and Monroe. He had
a good business, but it ran down as he
built up his political strength, until he
sold out to John Mangel, about five years
ago.

Must Have Dreamed It.

The following is from a florists' paper
published in London, England:

"The Chicago florists have received a
sad blow. High rents to pay, bad "trade,
street fakers taking their passing cus-
tomers, and their best ones leaving for
the sea or the country, are a few of the
evils they have had to contend with. Now
comes the news of a man being hauled
up for contempt of court for sending his
wife, whom he had been ordered not to
molest, a bunch of flowers. This kind of
molestation is not usually displeasing to
the ladies, but evidently the lady in ques-
tion saw some sinister meaning in the
gift, and if this has the effect of damp-

ing the ardor of other husbands, beaux
and beaux to be, well, what is to become
of our friends the florists! Truly, like
the Gilbertian policeman, their lot is ' not
a happy one.' "

The esteemed London contemporary
must have dreamed it. Certainly the Chi-
cago florists are well contented with
their "lot." They stand now at the
threshold of what promises to be the best
of their many good seasons.

The High Ridge Show.

September 1 and 2 the Luxemburger
society at High Ridge held its annual ex-
hibition of flowers, vegetables and fruits
at the place of Nick Karthauser, ex-
florist, at 3543 Ridge avenue, and the ad-
joining establishment of Joe Ebert. In
prizes $1,000 was distributed, partly in
silver cups, and the total cost of the two
days' show was $3,000. Alderman Rein-
berg was in attendance during the two
days and there was such a large crowd
that the facilities were inadequate and
will be increased next year. The exhibits
were staged in tents.

Wietor Bros, were first for roses and
first for carnations, a silver cup.

Adam Zender was second for roses,

Anton Then was first on floral design,
and won a silver cup.

The Chicago Rose Co. was first on col-
lection of cut flowers.

Sinner Bros, were first on asters and
lilies.

John Bell, of Glencoe, was first on col-
lection of perennials.

Fischer Bros., of Evanston, were first
for palms and cycas ; also for cannas with
King Humbert.

collection of annuals and jjcrenuials,
not for competition, and received honor-
able mention.

There were five premiums for fruit
and several for vegetables, Mark
Schmidt being first for collection of vege-
tables. Tlie uhole affair was a most
pleasing success.

Various Notes.

Tlio death of Flint Kennicott Septem-
ber 9 was a shock to all in the market,
for everyone liked him. An account of
liis life and work will be found in the
obituary column on another page. As a
mark of respect, all the wholesale houses
closed from 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock on
Wednesday, the hour during which the
funeral was held.

Some of the retailers already are re-
ceiving violets direct from tlie growers.

C. M. Dickinson and Mrs. Dickinson
are spending a fortnight in Michigan.

P. J. Youngquist's greenhouses, on
the north side of West Foster avenue,
are in the direct line of the city's fu-
ture drainage operations and will be con-
demned by the drainage board before
many months have passed. When the
transfer will be made, however, is still
uncertain, and Mr. Youngquist has not,
as yet, made any definite plans as to
what business course he will follow when
the drainage board takes possession of
liis property. He has six houses, de-
voted exclusively to carnations.

George TTarrer, "mayor" of Morton
Grove, no longer has any active connec-
tion with the greenhouse business, but
whenever he comes to town the attrac-
tions of old associations with the market
are so strong that he naturally gravitates

to the corner of Wabash avenue and
Randolph street.

C. L. Washburn says that the demand
for Killarney is starting at a most grati-
fying rate. Although Bassett & Wash-
burn, in connection with many other
large growers, greatly increased their
planting of Killarney this season, Mr.
VVa.shburn says they cannot get enough
of it to fill their orders.

A. A. Sawyer, at Oak Park, is still
sending some exceptionally fine asters to
K. H. Hunt. It is his own strain of
Comet.

The Brides and Maids with the Poehl-
niann Brothers Co. have come along with
remarkable rapidity in the last few-
weeks. The stems are the longest ever
(lit at this season of the year and the
size and substance of the buds are equal
to late autumn stock.

Philip Schupp says that .T. A. Bud-
long's shipping trade is starting off
heavier than ever this fall. Monday was
an especially good day.

The mother of the Pieser brothers, of
the Kennicott Bros. Co., celebrated her
seventy-fifth birthday anniversary Sun-
day, September 8. There was a large
gathering of friends and relatives.

It is stated that Marshall Field & Co.
will this season have the largest decora-
tion for the fall opening ever put up by
any mercantile establishment, eclipsing
their own best previous efforts. The
Wittbold Co. will supply the plants. The
cut flower bill will run into the thou-
sands of dollars and Fields are looking
about to sec where they can get the most
for their money.

Miss A. L. Tonner says that the sup-
jily business with the A. L. Randall Co.

is opening in two or three times the vol-
ume that it did last year.

E. C. Amling was at Richmond, Ind.,
September 5 and 6. He says that the
new rose of the E. G. Hill Co., named
Kliea Reid, is a wonder. He says that
for early blooming qualities and luxuri-
ance of growth he has never seen its su-
perior.

The Florists' Club will hold its first
meeting of the season at Handel hall
this evening, September 12. A lively ses-
sion is in prospect.

\. J. Wietor says that Wietor Bros,
arc able to cut white chrysanthemums in
limited quantity at any time now, but
that they anticipate no special call so
long as asters remain so plentiful and
so good.

L. E. Bohannon is now with the Alpha
Floral Co., at Wabash avenue and Adams
street. The management of Fleischman 's
north side store now devolves upon Har-
ry Rubel, with J. B. Blackistone, for-
merly of Washington, D. C, as the dec-
orator and maker-up.

Peter Reinberg continues to cut in-
creasing quantities of the Mrs. Field
rose. A. C. Spencer says that this variety
has been the most profitable thing they
ever grew for a summer crop. They have
boon marketing thousands every day
rijrht through the summer, at prices rang-
ing from 3 cents to 8 cents, but aver-
aging from 4 cents to 6 cents for the
nia.iority of the cut.

The trade will learn with regret that
Edgar Sanders is steadily failing in
health and that he is not now able to
receive the calls of the many who took
pleasure in running in upon him when-
ever opportunity presented.

RIBBONS

We have the largest stock of Ribbons of

These Ribbons were bought before the recent market
advance, and besides having the advantage of buying before
the increase in price, we have bought in what are known as
"loom orders.' This necessitates the use of a large sum of

A stranger visited Schofield, at 184
North State street, the other day and or-
dered $600 worth of funeral work, stating
that the money had been nearly all col-
lected at the offices of the Illinois Central
railroad following the death of an ofiQcial.
He suddenly reeollected that he was to
call at a hospital just at that hour to
see his wife, who was ill, and Schofield
gave him a -sice bunch of roses. Calling

at the I. C. offices for further details, it
was found the whole thing was a fake.
One thought to be the same party has

MILWAUKEE.

The C. ('. Polhvorth Co. is this month
mailing out copies of its new catalogue,
to which it has given the rather unusual
name of Polhvorth 's Inventory and Sup-
ply Directory. The Iwok is noteworthy
as showing the rapid develoj)nient this
house has made in the last few years.
The pages are 10x13 and the book con-
tains ninety-two of them, printed on
heavy calendered paper, so that the lialf-
tone illustrations show up in fine shape.
The Pollworth establishment, including
the greenhouses, contains about every-
thing the florists of the northwest require
for their season's business. In the cata-
logue a number of pages are devoted to
the plant department, others to bulbs,
and the body of the book to the supply
business, which is rapidly becoming the
leading feature with this firm. They
handle not only retailers' requisites, but
a large line of supplies for the grower,
and the house is pleased to report that
business starts off this year much ahead
of that of any previous season.

The Pollworth catalogue bears the im-
print of the Pollworth Press, Milwaukee,
one of the Pollworth brothers being en-
gaged in the printing business in a large
way.

"If your business is not worth adver-
tising, advertise it for sale. ' '

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The cool nights have improved the
young stock greatly. The supply is in-
creasing, but the demand seems irregu-
lar for almost everything except Beau-
ties. The retail trade so far is nothing
to brag of, but in some cases we find
that trade has picked up a great deal
since the schools opened. Society folks
are beginning to arrive home from their
sunmier vacation, and not until they are
all back can we say that the florists'
business is where it should be.

At the wholesale houses there seems to
be an abundance of roses of all kinds
from new slock, with stems still short,
but fairly good flowers. Plenty of them
went to waste last week for want of
demand. Beauties, though, are having
a big call, with good prices for short
and medium stems. There arc quite a
few carnations coming in from the
field, but they are of poor quality and
selling cheap. Asters are too many for
the demand, though extra good stock
sells well. There is plenty of good smi-
lax, asparagus and fancy ferns, with
good demand.

Various Notes.

T. F. Judge, representing the Scran-
ton Florists' Supply Co., was in town
last week calling on the trade.

Oswald AmlesB, living at 3520 Ohio
avenue, in South St. Louis, was acci-
dentally drowned last week, at East

Carondelet, while waiting for the ferry
boat. The body was found September
4, and the funeral took place on the fol-
lowing day. Mr. Amless was well known
among the growers.

Martin Reukauf, who represents H.
Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, was
at the Jefferson last week, showing sam-
ples.

W. B. Brown, of Detroit, stopped here
a day on his way to Mexico to look after
mining interests, where he will spend a
month.

Frank J. Farney, who represents the
A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, arrived in
town September 9.

A. G. Greiner's place, where he makes
cacti a specialty, is a great attraction
for visitors during the summer months,
o« account of his fine collection, which
numbers 14,000. Mr. Greiner, who has
been sick most of the year, is now much
improved. ,

J. W. Dunford's place, at Clayton, is
in fine shape for fall business and he
expects a good cut from his large stock
of roses, violets and carnations. At pres-
ent he is cutting a fine lot of Lilium
longiflonim, for which H. G. Berning
reports a good demand.

E. W. Guy, of Belleville, was a caller
last week. Mr. Guy reports a good sum-
mer trade and all outdoor stock looking
well.

The Ellison Floral Co., at Taylor and
Olive streets, has had quite a lot of
large funeral designs the last month. Mr.
Ellison is still up north, but is expected

C. A. Kuehn is receiving large con-

the large white and purple selling well.

who will be installed in oflBce Thursday

during November. The trustees this year
are Charles Schoenle, W. C. Smith and
Carl Beyer, who will work hard to make
the club meetings interesting to the
members. President-elect Young, Secre-

tary-elect Bentzen and Treasurer -elect
Weber will work in conjunction with
them to make the meetings so interest-
ing that they will be largely attended.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

The month opened much like any other
September and, while everyone hopes that
business will improve after August is
past, we are not far enough along to no-
tice it as yet. Gladioli and asters are
here for fair, with Beauties, lilies and
roses fighting for next place. The result
is, the wholesalers have much more stock
than the trade can take care of and
prices are about as low as they can pos-
sibly get, especially on the low grades of
stock.

Variotn Notes.

The Florists' Club's regular meeting
September 3 was a success and, if not the
largest, made up in enthusiasm what it

lacked in numbers. Among the interest-
ing talks was one on asters, in which a
servant of the city who has had phenom-
enal success with asters volunteered the
information that he had the formula for
something that will destroy the aster bee-
tle. As that is just what we all are look-
ing for, a demand was made for the pre-
scription. Now, while the discoverer
admits that he is not going to patent it,
or put it on the market in any way him-
self, he refused to divulge his secret and
thus puts himself on record as being the
first member of the club who has been
unwise enough to mention anything in
connection with his stock that he was not
willing to tell all about. John Lewis
Childs, Floral Park, N. Y., sent one of
his gladiolus displays. It elicited much
favorable comment, as the stock and va-
riety were exceptionally fine. Frank Ban-
ning, of Kinsman, O., was there with
America, 1900, Augusta, a new pink seed-
ling, and a lot of unnamed seedlings.
This collection would have gladdened the
heart of any fancier of gladioli, and he
has a trick of putting some very good

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

Conditions are rather unfavorable at
present, the wholesalers contrasting the
first two weeks in September with the
months of July and August, to the detri-
ment of the former. It is only fair, how-
ever, to consider the increase in receipts,
which has not been offset by any marked
increase in business. The result is dull-
ness, with extra effort required to market
many varieties of flowers, at any price.
Beauties sold particularly well on Satur-
day and MonOTiy, the Jewish New Year.
This stock is of excellent quality. Tea
roses have been enormously overdone. To
instance this, a faker, whose word can
be depended upon, says that he bought
8,000 tea roses for $6.

Asters continue the leading factor in
the market, the retailers using them more
freely than any other flower. The qual-
ity has fallen off a little in some quar-
ters, but still averages well, though there
are too many of the poorer grades. Pur-
ple asters are less overdone than during
the last two weeks. The supply of glad-
ioli really seems unlimited, the whole-
salers marketing only a small portion of
what they receive, or might receive, were
they in demand. The Ught ^Iprs con-

warm weather, the better stock is sold at
fair prices.

Cattleya labiata and oncidiums can be
had in small quantities. Valley is plen-
tiful. Carnations are improving in qual-
ity and increasing in quantity, though
they are still by no means plentiful. The
stems are short and the flowers of mod-
erate size. Outdoor flowers of other va-
rieties find limited sale.

The September Meeting.

The September meeting of the Flo-
rists' Club was fairly well attended.
Vice-President Hahman presided. Ke-
ports were received from the various
committees in charge of the S. A. F.
convention, and all except the executive
committee were discharged. These re-
ports showed that the finances bad been

carefully managed, the expenditures be-
ing well within the amount provided*,
while everything proposed had been car-
ried out. There was some discussion on
the national flower show, the general
opinion being that November would be a
more popular time than the spring, al-
though a better show could probably be
provided in March or April. A resolu-
tion of sympathy for Joseph Heacock, at
the loss of bis son, was passed. Charles

E. Meehan's paper on "The Philosophy
of Wholesaling," which appeared last
week, was well received. John Westcott
complimented the workers on the success
of their efforts in entertaining the S. A.

F. and in one of his most telling speeches
declared that Philadelphia would go to
Niagara 100 strong. Robert Craig and
others spoke on the work of the conven-
tion.

Then the Ladies' Bowling Club was
presented with the silver trophy, em-
blematic of second prize won in the con-
vention contest. Miss Graham, captain
of the ladies' team, accepted the trophy
and handed it to President Hahman, who
received it on behalf of the club. Mr.
Hahman spoke feelingly of the pleasure
that he felt .in accepting the custody of
this first ladies' prize to grace our trophy
cases. Nominations for officers to serve
during the ensuing year were as follows:
President, Samuel S. Pennock, Fred Hah-
man; vice-president, William Graham,
William P. Craig; treasurer, J. William
Colflesh; secretary, David Rust, Edwin
Lonsdale. The election will take place
at the next meeting, Tuesday evening,
October 1.

better for this time of the year than here-
tofore; any prospective customer caii be
held up at almost any store, if attraction
will do it. Mr. Shaffer had a beautiful
arrangement of gladiolus and Clematis
paniculata. The Washington Florist Co.
has a handsome high-handled basket
made of Physostegia Virginiana and Clem-
atis paniculata, with a cluster of Kais-
erin roses on the handle; it was very at-
tractive and well gotten up.

F. H. Kramer is much elated over the
behavior of his Queen Beatrice rose this
summer. He thinks more of it than ever.

The Qub Meeting.

The club had an interesting meeting
September 3. The chrysanthemum show
committee reported progress. The sched-
ule has been sent to all prospective exhib-
itors; it can also be had by addressing
Charles McCauley, Eighteenth and Kear-
ney streets, N. E., Washington. The club
received an invitation to visit the dilhlia

farm of R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., at
White Marsh, Md., September 17. There
will be a large number present. The fine
trip last year is still fresh in the memory
of those who attended.

Joseph E. Freeman, being requested to
say a few words for the Florists' Club in
receiving the cup won in Philadelphia,
said that there could be no time or place
more appropriate to express his personal
feelings toward the loyal friends who
showed their confidence in him during the
recent convention. In an extremely happy
vein he paid tribute to two classes of
voters, those who were his own friends
and who worked for his election and
those who openly and in manly fashion
championed the cause of the successful
candidate. He then thanked the bowling
team for its diligence, courage and skill,
as demonstrated by the winning of the
beautiful cup handed over to the club
through the generosity of the Philadel-
phia brethren. He regretted that the cup
was full of nothing more substantial than
his personal good will and gratitude, of
which it was full to overflowing. He paid
a glowing tribute to the Philadelphia
Florists' Club, which, he said, made every
Washingtonian feel as if he were a spe-
cial guest, and said that he had no doubt
they succeeded in conveying the same feel-
ing to those from all other places. He
said the series of entertainments was
complete and satisfying, that the florists
of Philadelphia had made Philadelphia in
fact what it was in name, the City of
Brotherly Love, and that their generosity
and attention would Uve as long as the
memory of the recipients of their bounti-
ful hospitality.

By Wm. Gude's motion, Mr. Freeman
and Mr. McCauley were appointed as a
committee to get up a suitable letter
thanking the Philadelphia club for the
noble manner in which they had enter-
tained the florists from Washington.

NEW ORLEANS.

From what can be learned in a general
way, the crop of chrysanthemums seems
to be growing quite satisfactorily, out-
door plants seeming ahead of the ones
under glass. In fact, growing chrysan-
themtuns in a closed house requires more
attention and expense than is put on the
ones outside, which can be covered at bud-
ding time. The season has been quite
favorable and if quantity and quality are
not good the weather should not be
blamed for it.

C. W. Eichling is getting ready for his
fall trade. Boxes of bulbs are unpacked
all over his place. His Adiantum hy-
bridum, of which he makes a specialty,
are clean and ready to start after their
summer's rest. His stock of palms is
free of insects.

Chairman John Frawley, of the budget
committee of the city council, is asking
for an increase of appropriation for the
City park and Audubon park. M. M. L.

DuLUTH, Minn. — W. W. Seekins was
busy with funeral work last week and has
had a good many reception and wedding
decorations, including an especially large
one at the Spalding hotel. The wedding
decorations were carried out in pink and
white roses exclusively. He is at present
growing all his own roses at the Wood-
land greenhouses. Flower trade is good
here and the florists cannot complain. —

Treas., C. E. Kendei, Cleveland.

Cantaloupes are yielding an abun-
dant crop this season.

September started dry and hot in the
Texas trucking districts.

At least a fortnight more without frost
is needed in the seed corn fields.

Thomas Cox, of the Cox Seed Co., San
Francisco, is about to start on an East-
em trip.

The western state fairs are offering
liberal premiums for exhibits of pedi-
greed seed corn.

The Texas truckers are preparing to
largely increase the acreage in fall crops
as compared to last year.

The up-to-date catalogue man is now
busily engaged on his 1908 books, to
have the southern edition ready for mail-
ing in December.

The weather for the last month has
been unfavorable to grain crops and es-
timates oi probable yields of the princi-
pal cereals are considerably reduced.

C. F. Wood's paper, the Market Grow-
ers' Journal, published at Louisville, es-
timates the onion set crop at slightly
more than 390,000 bushels, as against
about 525,000 bushels in 1906.

F. W. Beuggebhop says that it should
be the aim of every seedsman, as it is of
Thorburn & Co., to supply only seeds of
the best possible quality, for such seeds
mil almost sell themselves.

A D0LX.AR or two spent on retouching a
photograph may mean many dolltirs addi-
tional sales, not only on that one item,
but on other items in the catalogue, for
the influence of a cut, good or bad, ex-
tends to other varieties than the one it
illustrates.

As price competition becomes closer
and closer between wholesale seedsmen,
the country firms find that they are at no
<lisadvantage as compared to those who
<lo business where ground values are
stated by the square foot and where
cartage, storage, hsindling and incidental
expenses are at the maximum.

Seedsmen will be interested in the in-
junction proceedings begun by farmers at
Charleston, S. C, against a neighbor
whom they hold responsible for the
spread of cucumber bUght. As reported
on page 33, they seek by injunction to
stop his growing cucumbers in his green-
houses.

The Planters' Seed Co., Springfield,
Mo., has commenced to erect a warehouse
on the Frisco and Missouri Pacific tracks,
to facilitate the handling of the carload
business. The building now occupied will
be used for ofiSces and a retail store. Ar-
thur G. Lee, the seedsman at Fort Smith,
Ark., owns a controlling interest in the
company.

lilALLEEY & White, De Smet, S. D., are
having a contest with three prizes for
sweet peas, competition open only to

White. The contest is being advertised
in local papers, which are admitted to the

to the one used by Montgomery Ward &
Co., Chicago, and which resulted in that
firm's seed catalogue being barred from
the mails last spring.

A. L. Don, New York, says that a
seedsman doing a strictly retail business
may not make as much noise as one who
chases hither and yon after quantity or-
ders, and then for the stock with which
to fill them, but that the man dealing out
packets, quarts and pounds gets just as
many of the comforts of life, and possi-
bly more. Mr. Don is in a position to
know.

Reports from pickle packers in the
west show that crop conditions vary
greatly, a fairly good yield reported in
some sections and an extremely poor one
in others. Too cool nights in some local-
ities are hurtful. Minnesota reports indi-
cate a smaller yield than expected, re-
ports from Kansas points say the pack
will be about two-thirds, and dry weather
is hurting the cucumbers in Nebraska.

Articles of incorporation of the Car-
penter Seed Co., Prove City, Utah, have
been filed. The company vrill do a gen-
eral wholesale and retail seed business,
with the principal place of business in
Prove City. The capital stock is $20,000
in shares of the par value of $100 each.

the present one, some time in the near
future, possibly this fall.

Mr. Gundestrup 's estimate of his
onion-set crop is encouraging as compared
with the reports received from other
sources. His stock of onion sets is grown
for him, from seed furnished by himself,
on many different tracts of ground on the
northwest side of the city, and the re-
turns he has received from some of these
tracts indicate, he says, that his crop will
be at least fair, if not exceptionally good.
He says that the crop, so far as already
delivered to him, has averaged seven or
eight bushels to the pound of seed, and
in at least one case as high as twelve
bushels to the pound. The stock, also, is
good and sound in quality. It is now ar-
riving at his warehouse at the rate of
nearly 2,000 bushels daily, but the re-
ceipts will soon begin to decrease in vol-
ume and most of the stock will be in
.storage within the next three weeks.

Mr. Gundestrup also deals extensively
in mushroom spawn, and nine-tenths of
hia stock of this article is imported from
England. He spent most of this summer
in Europe, visiting the great centers of
the seed trade. He says that European
seed crops are not only much below the
arerage, but, on account of the coldness
of the season, are maturing very slowly
and the harvest will be the latest on rec-
ord. Though the quantity of the yield
will undoubtedly be small, it is impossible
now to make positive predictions as to
the quality, but fears are entertained that
many of the crops will not ripen prop-
erly, Mr. Gundestrup saj's the weather
was unseasonably and almost uncomforta-
bly cold during almost the whole of June,
.Tuly and August, the months he spent in
Europe.

The Weekly Florists* Review.

Skptembek 12, 1907.

of the seed crops leaves uotbiug to be
desired. Cabbages promise well. The
crops of hearting cabbage seed in the
vicinity of Paris and in central France
are somewhat deficient; but in the south
the harvest will be excellent. The crop
of brussels sprouts is safe, and that
of cauliflower in Italy will be excellent.
Kohlrabi is everywhere good. Cucumber
and gherkin seed came up badly in the
north and center, owing to wet, cool
weather at the period of seed-sowing.
In the south the plants suffered much
less. Beana germinated badly, and the
quantity sown in the south was incon-
siderable. Cabbage, lettuce and summer
and winter endive are expected to yield
normal crops. Onions promise a good
crop, but the promise may be spoiled at
the last moment. Of the chief variety,
Vertus, several cultures in central
Prance are diseased, while about Paris
and in the south the condition of the
plants is extraordinarily fine. Leeks are
excellent, but land occupied by this crop
is limited in extent; the demand will
about be covered, and medium prices ob-
tained. Parsley showed well for seed,
and a good harvest is expected. Peas will
be plentiful, but as the demand is con-
stantly increasing, dealers are expecting
to get good prices. The harvest com-
menced early in July. Salsify and scor-
zonera promise good crops in France and
Holland, but the amount of land under
these crops is not great.

which proved popular, the variety Haer-
cnsiana being especially well liked.

The Haerens Co. is composed of John
B. Haerens and Henry Wille. They
produce principally azaleas, araucarias,
bay trees, palms, etc., for the American
trade and have built up a large business,
necessitating annual additions to their
plant. H. Frank Darrow, their Ameri-
can representative, who recently returned
to New York after a visit to Europe,
says that the Haerens Co. will this year
add several large palm houses. Azaleas
are grown in great numbers and, a point
of special interest, are kept in the best
of condition by the application of liberal
supplies of water by means of an Ameri-
can device, the Skinner system of me-
chanical watering, the pipes running the
entire length of their fields. They also
have the sprinkling system in the houses
and are well pleased with it. Some new
varieties of azaleas are of special inter-
est, having gained certificates of merit
at the Ghent expositions, and will soon
be sent to America. Among them are
some fine white sorts for Easter and some
early-flowering pink varieties for Christ-
mas. One block which pleased Mr. Dar-
row particularly contained 20,000 plants
of Ardisia crcnulata. He says they were
the finest lot he ever saw. A number are
being grown three and four plants in a
large pot or tub and will make a fine
display when berried.

Two Grand Novelties for 1 908

Fcf^hcrhnltTlA flitintv fllioon we faave the greatest pleasure in beln? able
l-»l>ll9MIUII.£ia Uainiy yueCII ^^ introduce this exduielte new color In
Eschscholtzlas. It is so delicate and atrikln jr that we are certain It will excite universal
admlratioo, especially with the iHdleH, and become one of the greatest favorites nf this
cliarmlng race of our new Improved compact Calif ornlan" Popples. It is almost Impossible to
adequately describe Its soft and delicate shades of color, but we are having a plate prepared
which we thlnk'wlU do justice to Its beauty.

The color Is a tender blush, or pale coral pink, slightly deeper toward the edges, with a
groundwork of delicate cream, and like Intus Rosea, our Introduction of two years ago, the
petals are quite the same culor Inside as outside, so that the color effect is the same when
the flower is open as when closed— a quite unusual point In all other Eschscholtzlas.

It has the same upright, compact habit as Eschscholtzla Intus Rosea, forming a small,
compact bush, very free blooming, with the flowers standing well above the bright green
foliage, which glvea It a singularly attractive appearance for bedding or massing. '

blight spreading on the Neck, and that
as long as he plants and grows cucum-
bers under glass, the blight will con-
tinue to ruin the crops of the farmers
near him who plant in the open air.

Mr. West has eight houses in which
be grows cucumbers. He values his plant
at about $15,000. By planting in boxes
under glass, he has been able to produce
about 700 bushels of cucumbers each
year, grown during the winter, and mar-
keted at a time when they bring from $1
to $1.50 a dozen. He has found that
plants affected by the blight will, when
transplanted under the glass, recover and
outgrow this disease and produce fine
cucumbers. His attorney went on fur-
ther to show to the court that after the
season was over Mr. West carefully fumi-
gated his houses with sulphur, killing all
vegetable and animal life in the tightly
closed houses.

Attorney Von Konitz, appearing for
Mr. West, went on to show by reading
various aflBdavits and letters that there
is blight all over the cucumber belt,
where greenhouses are not near; that it
had been in this part of the country for
many years, before Mr. West started to
grow cucumbers in a greenhouse; that in
many farms not near Mr. West's place
the blight was prevalent; that a cold,
damp, late spring caused blight, and
other facts. His affidavits were read to
show that it was unreasonable to lay the
cause of the blight which ruined the
Neck crops to the greenhouses of Mr.
West.

By the petitioners it was shown,
through their attorneys, that it was the
opinion of a government expert that thej
greenhou.ses did cause the spread
blight among the cucumber crops ol
Charleston Neck. Affidavits were res _
from many farmers planting cucumbers
in the neighborhood of Mr. West, stating
directly that they believed the blight
came from his greenhouses, and that it
was harbored there through the winter;
furtliermore, that they had observed the
crops nearest his greenhouses withered
first. Many of the neighboring planters
said they were on friendly terms with Mr.
West and stated their belief that his
greenhouses spread blight only because
they sincerely thought it was so, from ob-
servation and the government reports.
Estimates of losses from blight were
given in the affidavits.

The case will be fought to a finish and
the outcome will be watched with much
interest.

With this idea in view we have made selections for the
past few years from our Rawson's White Spine, which
nave resulted in a strain about two inches longer and
a darker green in color, with a few light spines showing
at blossom end. This new strain we confidently

figiit. Tomatoes and cucumbers seem to
be its favorites, but it is not uncommon
ou lettuce, and in some localities it is
very severe on roses.

Where an establishment is thoroughly
infested with these worms there is little
chance for the proprietor to make ex-
penses until they are exterminated. This
may be accomplished in either of the fol-
lowing three ways: Probably the cheap-
est way is to remove all the old soil from
the benches and haul it away from the
houses, where it can be spread out to
freeze through in winter. The benches
should be thoroughly cleaned and
scrubbed and given a heavy coat of fresh
lime whitewash. Then, if the dirt and
refuse are cleaned from the aisles and
under the benches, they are ready to re-
fill, but the tools, wagons, etc., and the
spot where the new soil is to be dumped,
should be thoroughly scraped and the
fresh soil selected from a new field. This
method will sometimes entirely rid the
place of the eel worms, and where it does
not it will reduce them so that little dam-
ago \vill be done to the next crop.

Another method, which can be easily
employed by some growers, is to freeze
the houses up in midwinter by shutting
down and draining the boilers and all
pipes, and opening the ventilators, until
the ground is frozen quite deep. Care
should be taken that no water is left in
sags in any of the pipes, to freeze and
burst them.

Review for August 15.

The eel worm is so minute that it can-
not be seen without a microscope. It at-
tacks only the roots of the plants, caus-
ing a growth of bead-like galls along the
roots. Sometimes they are so severely at-
tacked as to become a tangled mat just
below the surface of the soil, at the stem.
Even where the plants are not killed they
cannot produce anything like a fair crop
when so attacked. H. G.

BUFFALO.

Old Home Week.

The week of September 1 to 7 was set
apart in Buffalo as Old Home week. The
affair was a big success and, while it
• lid not help business in general, we be-
lieve the florists were benefited by it.
Decorations were extensive in all lines
and it was one holiday from Monday till
Saturday.

M. J. Palmer & Son had the contract
for supplying the laurel which was used
for decorating the wires along Main
street.

Tho weather was cool and threatening
tlie whole week and it finally did rain on
Thursday, the day Governor Hughes ded-
icated the famous McKinley monument.
To celebrate this event, M. J. Palmer
erected a miniature monument of white
asters, which was Avorthy of much praise
and the people certainly did seem to ap-
])reciate it, judging from the way they
blocked the window.

Another event of the week was the
automobile parade. Elaborate decora-
tions were used here, mostly of bunting
and hardy flowers. The cars were divided
into classes and Mr. Schoenhut, the popu-
lar east side florist, carried away the
first prize for the small touring cars. His
<«r was decorated with paniculata and
small electric lights.

Chas. H. Netch had a float for the
whole week and appeared in every pa-
rade which took place.

Variou* Notes.

The Wni. Scott Co. has installed a big
new Kroeschell boiler, to replace two old
smaller ones.

The convention at Kiugara Falls next
year will be the means of reviving the
spirit of the Buffalo Florists' Club. The
club is to have a meeting very shortly.

ing to say of the outing of the employees
of the Wm. Scott Co., August 28 :

"The annual outing of the employees
of the Wm. Scott Co., of Buffalo, was
held here yesterday. About twenty em-
ployees of the Buffalo office arrived here
on the noon train and were met by the
employees of the company's local branch.
They all adjourned to the Union hotel,
where a bountiful dinner was spread,
covers being laid for thirty. In the
afternoon a ball game was played be-
tween the Buffalo and Corfu employees,
which resulted io a victory for the Cor-
fu boys by a score of 19 to 10. After
the ball game all hands adjourned to the
company's East Main street property,
where a program of sports was carried
out, followed by a bountiful supper
served on the law*..

"Our old friend, Wm. Scott, was with
the party and stayed till the finish. He
took great interest in the day's sport
and, as ever, carried that good-natured
smile. He has still a warm spot for old
Corfu and his friends here wish him and
his enterprising company every success."

him."

The Review receives many similar
courtesies at the hands of its readers and
hopes to continue to merit their recom-
mendation.

MARKETING NURSERY STOCK.

[A paper by C. J. Maloy, of ElhvanRer &
Harry, read at the Detroit meeting of the
.Vmerlcan Association of Nurserymen.]

Marketing is by far the most impor-
tant operation connected with our busi-
ness, because we may grow as much
stock as wo please, but if we cannot
find a market for it, our efforts will all
be in vain.

Nursery stock is sold at retail by
means of a catalogue, dealing direct with
the customer. This is also known as a
mail order trade. It is probably the
most satisfactory way to dispose of your
stock if you can get enough orders. To
develop such a trade, the first thing
necessary is to advertise in such papers
or magazines as in your judgment will
bring you the most returns, and these
returns are mainly used to distribute
your catalogue, which is the most neces-
sary adjunct in a business of this kind.
A well arranged, comprehensive cata-
logue is necessary. Tiie descriptions
should be concise — not overdrawn; the
prices should be given for each article;
in fact, it should be made as plain and
<'lear as it is possible to do, because this
catalogue really is to act as a salesman
and from it you must expect to get your
orders. Prices should be reasonable, ac-
cording to the quality of stock furnished.
Of course, the expense of all this will be
considerable, but it is the only way in
which a business of this kind can be
worked up.

Nursery stock is also sold at retail*
through agents, and this has now as-
sumed large proportions in this country,
but I do not feel competent to give ad-
vice on this branch of the business.

The wholesale branch of the nursery
business is larger now than ever before.
This is particularly true of fruit trees
shipped from the west, as well as from
the nurseries at DansvilJe, Geneva and
Rochester. The demand for ornamental
trees and shrubs in wholesale quantities
was, I think, greater the last spring than
ever.

GILBERT COSTIGH, ROCHESTER, N. Y.

Mention The Review when you write.

While there were immense quantities
of both fruit and ornamental trees and
shrubs shipped, the question arises
whether we have received the prices we
should, considering the increase in the
cost of i)roduction. This has always been
a disputed question, and I have spolfen
of it before at these meetings. It seems
to me that the nurseryinan is not re-
ceiving anywhere near what he ought for
his product, as coinjjarod with prices in
other lines of trade. We go on year
after year growing immense stocks of
this, that and the other, and tiien enter
into competition with one another in or-
der to dispose of these goods, at ruin-
ously low prices. As a matter of fact,
we are selling goods today at the same
prices, and in sonic casfs less, than wo
did ten years ago. when wo know that
the cost of growing has incroasod at
least fifty per cent, to say notliing of
the losses by drought, frost and hail.

There is one remedy I would like to
see ajjplied, which I believe would, in a
measure, relieve this condition, and that
is to avoid as much as possible the dan-
ger of overplanting. It is true that this
is a large country, but there is a de-
mand only for a certain quantity. It
may vary some one year with another,
but you know pretty well what the aver-
age demand is. Now, if you plant more
than what your market demands, you are
creating a surplus which, if you sell it
at all, nnist invariably be sold at a loss.

Then again, prices at which surplus

at regular prices, and they will form the
habit of waiting until these surplus lists
appear before placing their orders. So
I say that overplanting creates a surplus
which, if disposed of at the usual low
prices of surplus lists, is a great detri-
ment to the following year's business. It
is a hard thing to do, but in the long
run, would it not be more profitable to
bum i/he stock left overf Would it not
have a tendency to stop the evil of over-
planting, which is really one of the prin-
cipal causes of low prices?

I think it is also a mistake for nur-
serymen to sell roses and shrubs to de-
partment stores, which retail them in
most cases at below cost merely to bring
trade for other things to the store. It
cannot help but have a depressing effect
upon this branch of the business, be-
cause if you ask a fair price for a rose
plant, people who have no idea of the
real cost of such things wiU tell yon
that they can be bought at much less at
department stores.

In marketing nursery stock, too, it
must be borne in mind that one of the
principal essentials is to know that the
stock you are selling is genuine; that is,
true to name. This is an important thing
to consider, because it really means the
foundation of your business, your repu-
tation. If yon are not careful to pre-
serve that, your business is bound to
suffer; in fact, it cannot exist for any
great length of time.

The grading of nursery stock is an-
other important item, and to which more
attention should be given. There should
be a uniform grade established which
will apply to all sections of the country.
For example, a silver maple or American
elm eight feet ten inches in height
should have a given caliper or diameter
at say six inches above the ground.

There may be other things to consider
in the marketing of nursery stock, but
I have tried to touch on some of the
-principal ones.

EVERGREENS.

The demand for fairly large specimens
-of Colorado blue spruce is constantly in-
creasing— increasing to such an extent,
in fact, that specimen plants from five
feet up are hard to obtain in some parts
of the country.

"When the necessity arises for the mov-
ing of large evergreens, trees twenty
feet high and over, it will be well to
have arrangements made for the work
to be done in winter, when frost will
permit a solid ball of earth of generous
dimensions to be taken with every tree.
It is extremely hazardous work, the mov-
ing of evergreens of such dimensions at
any other time of the year, because there

may occur mishaps which would cause
the balls to get broken, with the almost
inevitable result of dead trees in spring.

There is no denying the fact that for
serviceable qualities, when planted in
the northern states, there are few if any
evergreens, capable of attaining a large
size, that equal the white spruce. This
tree will live and thrive in almost every
kind of soil and location. It will grow
up into a beautiful and shapely specimen
when planted singly in a somewhat shel-
tered situation inland. When planted in
large or small groups near the seashore,
•ley do remarkably well. They take so
kindly to crowding that by the time they
show signs of being individually disfig-
ured, in consequence of being too closely
planted, they will be so hardened that
judicious thinning will work no injury
to their future success.

PACIFIC COAST.

Sylvan, Ore. — Hoffman Bros, now do
business as the Western Floral Co. and
their address is E. F, D. No. 1, Hills-
dale, Ore.

Portland, Ore.— The Tonseth Co. has
taken the necessary legal steps to change
its name to the Tonseth Floral Co. ' The
incorporators are Briger Tonseth, Cor-
nelius Tonseth and Kosa B. Eckenberger.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Business shows a gradual improve-
ment. A majority of the town people
have returned from the various country
places and things are assuming a more
lively aspect. The weather continues
cool, favoring the growers and retailers
alike. Flowers are not overplentiful,
however, with the exception of asters,
and they are still seen in great profu-
sion. The demand for them has not been
quite as good this year as formerly and
it is doubtful if there will be as large
an acreage planted next year as there has
been previously. Sweet peas are short of
stem and the cooler weather is having
the effect of making the blooms fall to
pieces easily. Some long-stemmed flow-
ers are shown from interior places, but
those grown in this neighborhood have
apparently outlived their usefulness.

Indoor carnations are more plentiful
and, although the stems are short on
many kinds, the blooms are of good
quality throughout. The prices are a
shade higher than those quoted a couple
of weeks ago. Eoses are scarce and
will continue so for a considerable time.
The best Maids, Testouts and Brides
cost the retailers from 75 cents to $1
per dozen, while short-stemmed stock can
be had at about half that price.

Japanese lilies have held the market
for several weeks, at good prices, and
are now becoming scarcer. Valley is in
fair supply, but moves slowly. Other
kinds of outdoor stock are not in much
demand and but little money has been
made on them this season. Smilax is
more plentiful and is in fair demand.

VariotM Notes.

W. 8. Jesserun, representing the Bom-
bay Eeed Manufacturing Co., is in town.
He reports splendid business for his firm
all along the coast.

Wm. Cox, of the Cox Seed Co., has re-
turned from a trip to Oregon and Wash-
ington. Thomas Cox, manager of the
same firm, will depart on an eastern trip
in a few days. He contemplates being
absent fronj. California for several
months.

John Vallance, of C. C. Morse & Co.,
has returned from a visit to the northern
part of the state.

W. W. Saunders has opened a store
for baskets, moss and florists' supplies
under the Chamber of Commerce build-
ing, Oakland. G.

auratum and L. speciosum. Asters never
were finer than now, and a beautiful
rain a week ago means that we may ex-
pect a continuous supply of them until
the frost comes.

The sales from a new crop of roses
again remind us that they can always
command first recognition in popularity.

A half holiday on Labor day gave us
an opportunity to make a few social
calls among the growers, so we greased
up the automobile and started for Sell-
wood. Mr. Sibson had told us that he
had something of interest to show us
and we were not disappointed. Few
changes were noticed in the greenhouses,
as last year's rose stock was carried
over, and we certainly think that Mr.
Sibson did right. Everything under
glass showed a clean, healthy growth.
Mr. Sibson is rapidly preparing to cater
to a large wholesale trade. He was most
enthusiastic over the merits of Kate
Moulton and Liberty and is cutting a
large crop of each. This establishment
is just what we need in the northwest.

of Mt. Tabor, This firm has added one
house and made other improvements
which betoken progress and prosperity.
Here, too, everything shows the best of
care and it is one of the leading retail
places.

Crossing over to L. G. Pf under 's, we
were told that the veteran was absent,,
having been invited to deliver an address
before the Federated Trade Unions on
the "Social and Moral Obligations of
the Laboring Man." We left, wishing
that we, too, owned such a valuable
piece of property.

Around the corner appears the fine
range of houses owned by William Mar-
tin, formerly Martin & Forbes. Some
20,000 feet of glass have been added
here this season, another move in the
"right direction. Close attention to busi-
ness on the part of the employer, with
plenty of competent help, accounts for
the constant productiveness of this es-
tablishment.

A mile south of here, in a popular
growing suburb, Clarke Bros, are going
right ahead. To allow for further ex-
pansion they fenced in a few adjoining
acres and have increased their glass area
by 25,000 feet. This is the greatest in-
crease for any one firm and their busi-
ness demands it. The entire place has
received a complete overhauling and is
all under the personal supervision of A.
J. Clarke. H. J. M.

SALINE WATER FOR PLOVERS.

In digging a well for some new green-
houses we struck water that is strong
with magnesia. The water is soft and
seems to be suitable for drinking. Do
you think it will harm the flowers!

W. C. H.

Saline waters are those, the predomi-
nant properties of which depend upon
saline impregnation. The salts most usu-
ally present are the sulphates and car-
bonates of sodium, calcium and mag-
nesium; in the latter case the name mag-
nesian is given to them. This element,
magnesium, in some form or other is uni-
versally disseminated throughout the
whole of the earth 's crust. This accounts
for traces of magnesia in the ashes of all
plants and animals, and for its presence
in almost all natural waters.

If this is the only salt in the wa'ter,
and the impregnation is not too strong,
there is no danger in using it either for
irrigation or syringing. A safe plan
would be to expose it to sunlight for some
time before using it for syringing.

on it during the cold weather. Select
a piece of ground with a slight slope;
the aspect is immaterial. Transplant the
pansies, either into beds or regular nur-
sery rows. After the ground is hard
frozen, say about the first week in De-
cember, spread a light coating of coarse
meadow hay (that from salt marshes is
often used) or straw which has been
used for bedding and from which the
manure has been shaken out, broadcast
over the plants. In order to prevent
this covering from being blown away,
lay some pine boughs, pea brush or corn
stalks over it. Do not remove this cov-
ering too early, for the greatest injury
to pansies comes in March, with the al-
ternate freezing and thawing, which
heaves the plants from the ground.

Be sure not to put on the protection
until the ground is frozen; too early cov-
ering would be injurious. Remember
also that a heavy coating of mulch is
not wanted. The idea is to protect the
plants from the sun, which harms them
more late in the winter than the frost,
and not to keep them warm. Leaves
make a good mulching, but blow away
too easily.

Of course you can winter pansies well
in coldframes if you have any such to

NEWPORT. R. I.

Ctsrrent G>inineiit.

President Batterton, of the Newport
Horticultural Society, has appointed
Alei MacLellan, John T. Allan and
Daniel Coughlin judges for the coining
exhibition.

James Eobertson, gardener for Mrs. T.
O. Eichardson, took second prize for the
best twelve cactus dahlias at the recent
show of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, in Boston.

Although with the close of the horse
show the season is now noticeably on
the wane, there is still quite a good deal
doing. There are dinners nearly every
evening and the florists on the avenue
ar« getting the bulk of the decorations
to do, because most of those now enter-
taining have no greenhouses of their
own.

Last week one of the biggest affairs
of the season took place at Oakland
Farm, in Portsmouth, where Alfred
Vanderbilt puts up when in Bhode Is-
land. This event was at first styled a
luncheon, but it eventually resolved it-
s^f into a garden party in addition.
Gibson Bros, had charge of the floral
decorations, which were on a lavish scale.

Joseph Leikens had a large decoration
at J. B. Hagin's residence a few days
ago.

Wadley & Smythe are unable to pro-
cure in Nevrport or vicinity anything
like the number of cattleyas they re-
quire in their business in Newport.

The old Fadden store, on Bellevtie
avenne, where flowers and plants were
sold summer and winter for fifty years
or more, was the scene of a serious con-
flagration Tuesday evening, September
3. The interior and contents were badly
burned and damaged; insurance partial.

Mrs. A. T. Herrington and two daugh-
ters are visiting Mr. and Mrs. William
Jones, on Maher court.

Charles W. Cowles, gardener for G.
C. Knight, Jr., is standing floods of
congratulations with remarkable forti-
tude— another daughter.

Melons of large size and good quality
are bringing extraordinarily high prices
here now. Five dollars is a common
price to ask and receive for one of these
melons. They are imported from Can-
ada. B. B.

JoLiET, III. — The Illinois State Flo-
rists' Association, incorporated, has cer-
tified to the secretary of state a change
in location from Springfield to Joliet.
The next annual convention will be held
at Joliet in February.

Albion, Mich. — Arthur Dew's tene-
ment house was destroyed by fire August
30; loss partly covered by insurance.

The largest free-flowering white
carnation ever produced; the
form is beautiful and displays the
size to the very best advantage;
color very pure; texture excellent;
stem extra long at all times of the
year; a startling novelty, produc-
ing flowers with great freedom.
Grandest novelty for 1908.

SUPERIOR

At last we can give you Enchan-
tress with Lawson color. This is
not a sport from Enchantress, but
a seedling, but it resembles En-
chantress in every respect. Guar-
anteed to be as we represent it.
Every one who grows Lawson or
Enchantress will want to grow
this variety. Early delivery as yet.

Either variety at $12.00 per

Septembeb 12, 1007.

CINONNATL

The Market.

Business has certainly had its ups and
downs. One day there would be quite
a rush and the next there would be noth-
ing doing. Even the general average
did not amount to much, as the majority
were small orders which did not count
up fast. Roses are coming in much
more heavily, and the cool nights which
we have been having lately have im-
proved the quality a great deal. Beau-
ties are still in good supply, of good
quality and selling well. Bride holds
the lead as a seller, though. Carnations
are coming a little stronger, but still
most of them are from the field and of
poor quality. They sell well, even at
that. Asters are plentiful still, but they
are selling much better and the pros-
pects are for higher prices this week.
The better grades sell first-class. There
are still great quantities of gladioli and
they are not selling much better than
they have been. Only those of the best
quality bring anything like a fair price.
Dahlias do not sell at all well, but it
is expected that they will do better as
soon as the aster crop thins out a little.
Lilies of all kinds are good property.
Good smilax is scarce, but other green
goods are equal to the demand.

Various Notes.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

September 12, 1907.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Little complaint was offered among
the retailers last week. Stock of nearly
all kinds is plentiful and moved fairly
well. The cool breezes of fall have at
last made their appearance and shortly
those who are spending their time away
from home will be arriving in the city,
and naturally business will once more go
ahead.

Stock inside is in every way encourag-
ing. Boses and carnations are looking
exceedingly fine. There is little mildew
or stem-rot. Many of our growers will
have a surplus of carnation plants. Mums
are in elegant shape. Asparagus and
smilax are up to the usual condition.
Violets are in fine condition; single
varieties will be grown more extensively
than the double. Roses are arriving more
regularly and the carnations are looking
better and coming in slowly, selling well.
Gladioli are not so heavy in supply as
in the last few weeks. Dahlias are com-
ing in much heavier and find good sale
at fair prices. Asters are still a glut,
but are moving fairly well, considering
the large quantity on tb« market.

Various Notes.

The Maryland state fair, held at Ti-
moninm, Md., was a great success, and
many gardeners and florists attended.
The farmers and private gardeners made
a display of their products, but I regret
to say I did not see a plant or flower
from our florists. Among those who ex-
hibited were GriflBth & Turner Co. and
J. Bolgiano & Son.

Tischinger Bros, are again in the mar-
ket with a fine line of house plants.

W. G. Atkinson, Glyndon, Md., has
four acres of gladioli in bloom. Mr.
Atkinson is a member of one of our
large shipping firms.

G. H. Rhodes, Arlington, is cutting
some extra fine asters and sweet peas.

The amount of work at the range of
houses of Chas. Cook, on West Mosher
street extended, has compelled Mrs. Cook
t« look after the city market trade.

J. L. T.

Orange, N. J. — The meeting of the
New Jersey Floricultural Society held
September 6 was called to distribute the
schedules of the forthcoming dahlia show,
October 4. There were but six exhibits
and a scattering of members.

BEATRICE;^ Neb. — At the state fair at
Lincoln the Dole Floral Co. was awarded
nineteen first, second and third premiums
and the premiums had a total cash value
of $97. The Dole exhibit consisted of
two carloads of stock.

Grand New
Double Daisy

A sport from that great money-making single
variety. QUCKV AUBZARDRA. that every-
body grows to a good profit. Ton can do better
with this. The flowers are larfte. averaging
three inches in diameter, and none of the flow-
ers comes tingle at any time of the year. It
blooms freely, either under glass or outdoors
Toung stock, out of 2Vinch pots, ready for de-

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

September 12, 1907.

DETROIT.

The Market.

The flower stores about the city are
assuming an air of business again, ^fter
the long quiet spell. Nearly all the stores
have received a general overhauling and
painting. Several large weddings are al-
ready booked for the next week, besides
numerous small ones. The fad for June
weddings seems to have changed around

to fall.

Stock remains about the same. Some
fine asters are arriving daily in large lots.
Many are used, but hundreds are going to
waste as well. There are really no good
flowers on the market at present with
which to do fine work. Carnations are
again on the market; of course the flow-
ers are still small, but of a nice, clear
color. Sweet peas suffered severely from
the long drought, and the rain of the last
few days came almost too late to do any
good. Greens are quite plentiful.

Variout Notei.

George Eackham has certainly been
having his share of the world's troubles
the last year. Some six weeks ago Mr.
Rackham injured his knee and he has
been laid up more or less ever since; at
present he has to rely on the use of a
pair of crutches.

There is no doubt but that Morris Wolf
will have to go back to selling flowers
again, as his venture as a summer resort
promoter has proved a failure. WJiat has
been known for the last two seasons as
Wolf's park was placed in the hands of v
a receiver several weeks ago, with a
heavy list on the loss side of the books.

Albert Pochelon has gone back on the
Detroit clothiers, it seems. On the recent
eastern trip he bought a complete new
outfit of clothes in Philadelphia, from his
head down to the soles of his feet.

Miss Mae Wright, for several years in
the employ of B. Schroeter, has given up
her position. She is leaving the city for
Spokane, Wash.

Hammond's paint is being used to re-
decorate the whole interior of the Mich-
igan Cut Flower Exchange. H. S.

Colorado Speings, Colo. — Wm. Henry
Evans has returned from a month's trip
in the east.

Feedonia, Kan. — Loyd C. Bunch says
the weather has been very dry in this
neighborhood all summer. He is build-
ing a house 24x84 feet, for vegetables.

OcONOMOWoc, Wis. — Fred Pabst, of
Milwaukee, is building two greenhouses
36x100 at his summer place at Oconomo-
woc Lake. The Moninger Co., Chicago,
is supplying the material. Albert B.
Havrane is Mr. Pabst 's gardener.

(ireeahonse Heating.

HOT WATER COIL.

Would you kindly tell me how large a
coil I will need to heat from 1,800 to
•JjOOO lineal feet of 2-inch pipe? vWhat
size of pipe, and how many lineal feet
(»f it. will be required to make such a
ooil? A. B.C.

1 take it from what you say that you
desire to construct a hot water heater out
of pipe and make it capable of heating
2,000 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe. If such
a coil were to be constructed from 2-inch
pipe it should contain 250 lineal feet of
2-inch pipe. If built from 1%-inch pipe,
320 lineal feet of pipe will be needed in
its construction. L. C. C.

PAINTING STEAM PIPES.

We notice in a recent issue of the Ke-
viEW an article on painting steam pipes,
and would like to ask your advice in this
connection. About a week ago, during
the absence of the superintendent, one of
our men gave the steam pipes in some of
our rose houses a coat of paint made of
white lead and oil. Do you think that
this will prove injurious to the plants?

C. F.

There is no danger to roses from the
fumes arising from white lead and oil.
The oil, however, gives off a disagreeable
smell when heated, and the white lead
will prevent proper radiation. If the coat
of paint is not heavy, there may be little
difference in the radiation, but all paints
with a heavy body, when used on steam
pipes, retard the dispersion of heat.

PIPING IN NEV MEXICO.

We are sending you under separate
/•over plans of our heating system, which
is not satisfactory, and wish you would
give us some directions as to its improve-
ment. We have the Wilks No. 30 hot
water boiler. The expansion tank, which
has a capacity of ten gallons, is two feet
above the highest point of the flow pipe
and eight feet above the boiler.

The fault we find with the system is
the slow circulation of water in the pipes,
as it takes two hours or more to get the
heat returned to the boiler. We are using
hard coal and, as it costs from $16 to
$23 per ton, we do not like to waste much
<^f it if we can be informed how to get

a better circulation. Would it be an im-
provement if the pipe of the expansion
tank were connected to the main return
near the boiler? F. 0. S.

Your houses have almost the exact ra-
diation for a temperature of from 60 to
65 degi'ees in New Mexican climate, pro-
viding the plan sent is drawn to the ordi-
nary architectural scale of one-quarter
inch to the foot. The chief criticism I
would make of the system is in regard to
the location of the boiler and the manner
of carrying the flow pipes. If possible I
should cut out the loop in the riser in the
house adjacent to the boiler-room. Run
the riser direct from the boiler to the
main riser through this house; cut out
the expansion tank at this point. This
will make the distance traveled by the
water about twenty-five feet less in this
house. The 88-foot house, which stands
at right angles to the smaller one, I
should handle as follows: Use all pipes
now in the house as returns and carry the
main riser from the point where it enters
the house to a point under the ridge;

there divide it into two 2'/^ -inch pipes,
one going to the north and one to the
south end of this house, and there divide
to enter each of the coils under the
benches, as returns. This arrangement
will give you a somewhat quicker flow
than you now get. The next thing is to
connect the expansion tank to the main
return within twelve inches of where it
enters the boiler, and by the use of a
%-inch pipe carry it eighteen or twenty
feet above the highest point in the sys-
tem ; or, if you have an elevated tank for
supply, make direct connections with it,
provided it is not over twenty or thirty
feet above the ground. Tlit'se modifica-
tions, if your boiler has a rated capacity
of 1,500 feet, should give satisfaction.

The Market

The cut flower trade continues about
the same as usual. TTie summer dullness
is still on and there is not much doing,
outside of funeral work, which calls for
plenty of short stuff. The supply of
flowers is about equal to the demand.
Some nice asters are coming in. Sweet
peas are still to be seen, but they have
not done as well as in other years, ow-
ing to the continued dry weather here.
Outside of these, there are plenty of out-
door annuals, etc., useful for bouquet
making. A good many of the growers
have finished planting their young car-
nation stock in the houses. The plants
j|ook healthy enough, but are small as
compared with other years. This, again,
is due to the dry weather. This has
been the dryest summer for a number
of j'ears. Many ot the wells in this sec-
tion are dried up.

The Carnival Flower Show.

The last w^eek of August was Carnival
or Old Home week. The mills were all
shut down and it was a gala time. The
Carnival flower show was a great .sue<ifess.
It was open August 27 to 29, and for
these three days a record-breaking at-
tendance was reported. The show wais
held under the auspices of the New Bed-
ford Horticultural Society. Most of the
prizes in the dahlia classes were cap-
tured by Mrs. H. A. Jahn, who is one
of the principal local growers of dahlias.
H. H. Rogers was the winner of several
first prizes in the general flower display
and for plants.

been picking from all summer. He re-
ports an excellent demand for flowers
all through the warm season. He has
ijust finished his new boiler-pit, which is
lall of concrete, the best Portland cement
^ving been used in its construction.

GOOD STOCK FOR CUTTING.

While the demand for cut flowerB
slackens off heavily during the hot
months, there is always some call for
suitable white flowers for funeral and
other work. While gladioli, asters,
stocks and sweet peas are, in addition to
the omnipresent roses and carnations,
those mostly met with on the market,
there are many other flowers worthy of
cultivation, especially by those who do
a funeral retail trade. Now is the time
to plan and prepare for the summer of
1908. As practically all are hardy which
I will name, and of easy culture, any
florist can, with little expense, plant a
Initch of each.

Phlox Miss Liogard.

Phlox Miss Lingard is a splendid va-
riety, in my estimation the finest of all
the perennial phloxes. It belongs to the
suff'ruticosa section. The leaves are of
ii shining green color and the flowers al-
most pure white, with a delicate pink eye.
The spikes grow from twenty- four to
thirty inches in height and in some sea-
sons we have cut them as early as the
first week in June. If restricted to one
[)lilox, my choice would be Miss Lingard.
I n the whole decussata or paniculata sec-
tion there is not a variety to equal it
for cutting or mass bedding. A good
feature about it is that while the main
crop may come in during July, the
plants keep throwing up more flowering
slioots and give a persistent crop of
flowers until fall. No other phlox lasts

give splendid spikes the following June
and July.

Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum Hybridum.

The common name of Chrysanthemum
leucanthemum hybridum is the Shasta
daisy and it is one of the few valuable

are four inches in diameter in the best
types and well adapted for cutting. In
addition to its value for cutting, the
Shasta daisy is an effective plant for
massing in borders. Plants are readily
propagated by division of the root as
well as from seed.

Lilium Candidum.

Lilium candidum is easily the best of
all hardy garden lilies. Unfortunately,
the disease which has been so rife on
outdoor stock has greatly restricted its
culture. In many old gardens, how-
ever, glorious masses of it, undisturbed
for years, are to be met with.

The Madonna or Annunciation lily, as
it is commonly called, is in season dur-

ing the last days of June and the first
half of July, Unlike the majority of
lilies, it needs an open, sunny location
and requires planting only four to five
inches deep. The new bulbs usually ar-
rive in America in late summer or early
in the autumn and should be planted as
soon as they arrive, as they start to
root and form a rosette of leaves at
once. Some growers advocate planting
the bulbs on their sides. This is en-
tirely unnecessary. I have never known
them to decay when planted in the regu-
lation manner.

There are two types of the pure-white,
fragrant, garden lily. One is represent-
ed by large bulb*, with narrow scales. I
have seen bulbs almost cover the top of
a 6-inch pot. These produce narrow
leaves and short, thin spikes, with three
to five flowers each, which have small
flowers with narrow petals. This is the
variety usually seen in America at Eastor
and it is almost worthless.

The tall, broad-petaled type has
smaller but heavier bulbs, with broader
scales. The leaves are wider and the
flower-stalks stout and producing eight
to ten flowers, not infrequently two or
three spikes coming from a single large
bulb.

A thin coating of leaves or straw,
which should be removed early in April,
is all the protection this lily requires.

plants grown, and the florist who has
need of white flowers in summer for de-
sign work, is badly off without it. Once
planted, it will take care of itself, as
it spreads with surprising rapidity. It
will be necessary to give it a bed where
it will not encroach on other plants, and
to replant every second or third year to
keep it in place. While double flowers
are produced on seedlings, a great many
are single and semi-double. B^ing so

idea that they are not suitable for the

I have always found them as ironclad as
the German or Japanese types, needing
only the lightest protection in winter.
For outdoor culture the bulbs should not
be planted before the beginning of No-
vember, to prevent growths appearing
above the ground before freezing-up
weather. I have, however, frequently seen

GUdiolus Nanus Mathilda.

Gladiolus nanus Mathilda is not strict-
ly a hardy plant, although it may be
treated as such. Better results are,
however, to be had by growing it in flats
and keeping quite cold, placing the flats
outdoors about the middle of April and
keeping them well supplied with water.
Boxes 12x24 inches and containing three
inches of soil will hold seventy-five bulbs
and these will average two spikes each.

While all the forms of Gladiolus nanus
are excellent, this variety, which is pure
white with a faint suffusion of lavender,
is far superior to G. Colvillei The Bride,
usually grown by florists in quantity.
TTie spikes have a graceful droop and
the flowers are double the size of those
produced on The Bride. The flowers are
specially valuable at Memorial day and
can be kept back, if desired, until the
middle of July. The low price of this
fine gladiolus should cause more florists
to take it in hand.

Delphinium Chinentis Alha.

The Chinese larkspurs, both blue and
white, are well adapted for cutting. While
the deep blue form is usually seen, there
is a pure white variety well worth cul-
tivating. Propagation is easy, by seeds,
which may be sown any time from March
to September and, when suflBciently large
to handle, be transplanted into nursery
rows. Spring sown seedlings will flower
the same year and make strong plants
the succeeding year. In addition to be-
ing useful for cutting, the Chinese lark-
spurs can be dotted among the taller
growing delphiniums, or are telling in
masses by themselves. The flowering
season is from July until frost.

Iris Hispanlca.

The merits of the Spanish iris for
forcing are being more and more recog-

shoots several inches high about Thanks-
giving, and the most severe frosts never
seemed to injure them. The bulbs make
beautiful effects in irregular mass plant-
ings, using several hundred bulbs in each.
For cutting they are splendid and, flow-
ering, as they do, during June in the
open, they are of special value for wed-
dings and graduation exercises. The
bulbs will flower for more than one year.

Qematis RccU. i,

Clernatis recta is one of the most de-
sirable hardy perennials blooming in
June and early July, attaining a height
of four feet and producing large panicles
of white, fragrant flowers similar to
those borne on the well-known Climbing
C. paniculata. There is also a double
form which produces erect umbels of
fine white flowers, excellent for floral
work. Propagation by division of the
roots in fall can be effected. The plants
resent frequent removals and flower but
sparsely the summer after being trans-
planted. A little support is needed be-
fore the flowers open, or high winds and
rains will break down the clumps.

Promptncst.

Another requisite that is exceedingly
important is promptness. The cut flower
business calls for quick action, and there
must be no loafing or dilatory conduct in
the way an order is handled. The trade
is always a quick one, and must be han-
dled with alacrity. An order that is ex-
pected tomorrow morning ought to arrive
then, so far as we are concerned. Our
driver, for instance, who has the impor-
tant position of taking our consignments
to every express train that leaves the
town, is paid so much per week and a
bonus every week that trains are not
missed, and I might say that i^ot more
than twice in a year is a bonus missed.
Our head shipper, too, who has charge of
the orders, and has to use a great deal of
head work in very quick time, is paid a

Division of Responsibility.

Before passing this item of capacity I
might say that I have found it of great
benefit to divide the responsibilities of
work in the greenhouses, and we have a
general foreman, under whom are assist-
ant foremen, one for each department —
one for engineering work, one for steam
fitting, two for roses, one for carnations,
one for chrysanthemums, one for vfilley
and orchids, and so on in the different de-
partments. These men are in immediate
contact with the other members of the de-
partments, who are advised by them.
When the management, or the foreman,
or one of the assistant foremen; desires
to offer any suggestions — and such are al-
ways courted — or to make any changes in
plans, a cabinet meeting is held by the
manager, with the foreman and his as-
sistant foreman in consultation, and at
intervals meetings are held for the dis-
cussion of things that pertain to the es-
tate, in this way not only showing confi-
dence in these men but bringing about re-
sults that are often beneficial. These men
are specially considered and remunerated
at the end of the year, and in instances
where suggestions have been made by
growers not holding a special position,
where the estate manifestly benefited by
the thought, immediate recognition was
given, and a knowledge of these facts is
bound to give valuable help to the man-
agement.

Advertising.

As to advertising, no rule can be laid
down for any one business. We have
never done much advertising, because
most of the time the demand for our
goods has been greater than the supply,
but where we have had stock to offer in
unlimited quantities we believe it has
paid us to advertise in the trade journals,
and I refer, of course, specially to our
own Canadian journal, which is improving
so much in every respect and ought to be
])atronized. There can be no question
about the advantage of advertising if
you have stock that ought to be sold and
there is any uncertainty as to the de-
mand. Advertisements should be honest,
fresh and to the point, not leaving them
in week after week without any change,
and in some cases longer than the season
of the goods spoken of. For instance, I
have seen, in our Canadian trade .iournal.
carnation cuttings advertised when all

carnation cuttings had been sold, and the
season too late for sale even if any ex-
isted. Furthermore, I believe in plain
facts being stated and not so-called funny
or smart phrases, which to my mind do
not appeal to the up-to-date man of busi-
ness. For instance, I have just received
an advertisement with an imitation fish-
ing line and hook, headed ' ' Do You Hook
On?" I was not the kind of sucker to
be caught by that kind of bait, and at
once threw the advertisement into the
waste-basket without further reading.

Regulation of Prices.

As to prices, this is a tender but vital
part of our inward workings. I do not
believe in combines, and have never had
part in one, but I believe there should be
an intelligent arriving, as near as possi-
ble, at the cost of an article, and then the
selling at a fair price. I may be frank
enough to say that it has been our policy
to intimate to some other large growers
what we consider is a fai^ price, and to
invite their following suit, but we have
never endeavored to ascertain what prices
they charge, or found fault with their
following or rejecting what- we consider
to be fair and proper. I have, however,
an utter contempt for growers who will

ask for price lists, intimating their inten-
tion to follow suit, and use the prices for
cutting on. When a price is fixed as a
proper one, and lists sent oat, that price
ought to be adhered to strictly. It is our
policy never to deviate, and one customer
is served to the same advantage as the
other. I believe that the building up of
some large business concerns is largely be-
cause of three things: First, careful buy-
ing, in our case careful growing; second,
one price; third, cash sale.

Prompt Collections.

Now as to the last item, cash. If a
man treats his men well, grows good
stock, grades properly, packs carefully, is
prompt in his delivery, and hands over
in good condition to the express com-
pany for his customer the order that he
has been intrusted with, he is entitled to
charge a fair price and to get the money.
Undue credit is a curse to business. For-
tunately, by degrees it is becoming less-
ened in every respect, and I believe that
the success of large firms, like the T.
Eaton Co. an'd Bobert Simpson Co., is due
largely to the strictly cash basis, which
is the only proper way of transacting
business. WTiat right has the grower to
pay for his stock, pay his employees for
growing, pay for his coal, and be out
thousands of dollars each month, with an
uncertainty as to whether or not he is
going to get it back?

When, at his request, I first looked
into the affairs of the late Harry Dale,
I found that he neither knew how much
he owed nor how much was due him. Al-
though the business then was not more
than one-tenth what it is now, there was
then on his books, past due for any
period from one month to two years,
about $8,000, or about six months' busi-
ness, a great deal of which, of course,
was never got in. On suggesting to Mr.
Dale the advisability of refusing credit
in some instances altogether, and of cur-
tailing credit to even our best customers
to a limited time, he objected most stren-
uously, and said that customers would not
buy stock when they were looked to for
prompt payment. Tliis necessitated pur-
chasing all his supplies on credit, with
all sorts of liabilities floating around.
Knowing that this sort of thing was
bound to end in one way only, he called
in help, as I have stated in a former part
of this paper, but still did not care to
Imvo his customers drawn on at limited

course as a proper business one, I subse-
quently succeeded in extending our
C. O. D. list, and in reducing the max-
imum credit to thirty days from the end
of each month. This maximum has since
been decreased to the fifteenth day of
the month following for payment of each
month's account, and our C. O. D. list
now is larger than our ledger account.

I have covered all the ground in this
crude paper, the first I have ever at-
tempted. The running of a greenhouse
concern is not an easy task, by any
means. It requires us to be hard at it,
and always at it. In fact, during the
seven years that I Have had the manage-
ment of this business I have worked
harder than during the fourteen years
preceding. I have not even been able to
take time to visit more than a few of
our customers, and believe this is a dis-
advantage. One's trade customers ought

l)aid on August 15, all shipments must

Long Credits Disastrotis.

I believe, gentlemen, that it is in the
interests of our trade customers, as well
as to our own advantage, to insist upon
such prompt payment. If the coal dealer
gives long credit to the grower, and the
grower gives long credit to the trade
customer, and the customer gives longer
credit still to his patrons, it brings a
long chain of misfortunes to every one
concerned.

We ask no more than we give. Every-
thing we buy is paid for in cash, and in
no other way could we possibly run our
business and give our customers proper
value. Our losses during seven years of
business have not amounted to one-half
of one per cent of our output, and in-
deed we find our margin of profit so
small that we could not afford to do
business at the prices we charge on any
fither basis. Many of our customers^ at
first not greatly pleased at limited credit,
liave since told us that we did not gain
as much as they by their being compelled
to limit their own local credit, and
tliereby reducing their losses. We be-
lieve that no grower is doing' his trade
customer a kindness in extending a credit
beyond the month following delivery of
goods. Indeed, some of our very best
customers, and best off financially, will
not have goods other than on a C. O. D.
basis, some others insisting upon paying
each week, finding that they will attend
to their own collections better when these
payments have to be made. The express-
man, telegraph man, telephone man, etc.,
cuU monthly — why not the florist?

Acquaintance With Customers.

I do not pretend to say or think that

to be personally known to the grower,
but in an endeavor to build up a large
business, which now includes about 750,-
000 square feet of glass and is nearly
five times as large as it was when Mr.
Dale was unfortunately taken away,
seven years ago, I have found it neces-
sary to devote to the business every pos-
sible moment of time, and all my ener-
gies, without much relaxation.

In connecti(?ir with this paper I have
not knowingly withheld anything that

seemed important, and hope that some-
thing said, while not new, may stir us
up to better efforts and greater success.
We do not know it all. There is much
to learn all the time, and when we think
that we have arrived at perfection it is
about time for Tis to quit. There is
something new and something better ob-
tainable all along, the line of our pro-
duction. With eyes open, minds concen-
trated and energies unflagging, we can
yet produce varieties finer than those yet
known. We must not be too slow in
discarding what has become out-of-date
and tiresome to the public, and replac-
ing it with something that appeals to
ever varying demands.

Ours is a noble calling. Let us look
and act as if wo realized it. The clergy-
man and physician minister to the sick,
and so do we, in some instances with
greater success. Our mission extends to
the sorrowing on one hand, and to joy
in every phase on the other hand. In
short, we are partners with nature in en-
deavoring to make life bright and enjoy-
able by assisting in the production of
what is most beautiful and fragrant.
TTie very atmosphere and loveliness of
our greenhouses ought to spur us on to
efforts that shall not only enrich us to
a moderate degree, but shall make for us
a good name, which is rather to be
chosen than great riches.

PAINT FOR INSIDE WORK.

What is the best white paint for inside
iron work in greenhouses? Will ordinary
white lead and oil do as well as a graph-
ite paint? H. F. C.

Having used many grades of white
paint for inside work, both on iron and
wood, I have always found the best that
I could buy was none too good. Good
white paint will keep the iron in good
shape and, if attended to every two
years, will suit the case just as well as
graphite. By consulting the pages of
the Review you will find paint suited
for greenhouse work advertised nearly
every week. Don't hesitate over a few
cents' difference in cost; get the best
there is. RiBES.

BABY DOROTHY ROSE.

The accompanying illustration is re-
produced from a photograph supplied by
Hugh Low & Co. of a plant of the rose
which was originally named Maman Le-
vavasseur, but which has been renamed,
with the originator's consent, Baby Dor-
othy, a much better appellation.

The rose is a Baby Eambler of Doro-
thy Perkins color, which is a sufficient
guarantee of its value to the trade. The
rose is being offered in Europe this sea-
son, and doubtless will have wide dis-
semination in this country. It is adapt-
ed either to bedding or forcing and will
be of inestimable value in the making of
the now popular basket and hamper ar-
rangements of blooming plants for
Christmas and Easter.

ROSES FOR DESIGN VORK.

Are there any roses, suitable to use in
design work, that will bloom well in
pots in a night temperature of 55 de-
grees? I. E. L.

Both Bride and Bridesmaid roses will
bloom in pots at the temperature given,
though not so freely as they would do
in benches. Some other varieties, such
as Kaiserin, make a stronger growth in
pots, but do not flower so freely or so
constantly as the two given above. In
them you have a pink and a white that
are hard to beat for design work.

and P. O'Mara.

The certificates to be sent to life mem-
bers and the certificates for exhibitors of
new roses will soon be mailed.

The Chicago people are already astir
with promise of everything that can be

HYDRANGEAS IN TUBS.

Please advise me as to the best treat-
ment for hydrangeas in tubs after they
have finished blooming. Shall I cut off
the blooms that have passed? Which are
the next year's blooms on the stems?
How shall I treat the hydrangeas in tubs
so as to have them in good shape for next
year? L. S.

Hydrangeas which have done blooming
should have the flower heads removed
without delay. It is too late now to get

supply to hydrangeas from this time, in
order to fully ripen the wood. Give them
all possible sunshine and keep just moist
enough to prevent wilting. Do not allow
the plants to sustain anything like a hard
freeze. Two or 3 degrees below freezing
will not hurt plants with matured wood,
but plants exposed to a temperature of
20 degrees above zero are usually ruined,
so far as flowering is concerned, for a
season.

A cellar or shed, moderately light and
dry and just clear of frost, makes an
ideal winter storage place for these
plants. A little frost will not harm them.
Keep them fairly dry at the root all win-
ter and ventilate whenever weather con»
ditions permit. C. W.

any growths from the stems which have
carried the flower heads. You must de-
pend chiefly on the shoots made this sea-
son which have not bloomed. When start-
ing the plants in the spring, shorten back
the previous year's wood to two or three
pairs of eyes and do at that time any
necessary top-dressing or re-tubbing.
It is best to gradually reduce the water

which were exposed to occasional temper-
atures of 15 to 20 degrees below freezing.
In America we of course cannot winter
them without protection. TTiey do not
need the heat of a greenhouse. If you
have a well-lighted shed or cellar which
just excludes frost, they will come
through nicely and light freezing will not
harm them. Do not allow them to be-

come dry at the root. The soil should
always be fairly moist, even iu midwin-
ter, for no evergreens will withstand dry-
ness at the root and not show after-
effects of it.

If you have no suitable shed or cellar,

give your plants space in the coldest
greenhouse, where they can have an
abundance of air. There will be no need
to house them before the end of October
in any part of the United States.

Lilium Philippeiise.

This lovely lily, reintroduced two or
three years ago and now comparatively
plentiful and inexpensive, is well worth
increased attention. The flowers are
larger and longer than those of L. Har-
risii or longiflorum, with a delightful
odor. The stems are slender but wiry,
the foliage grasslike. The whole plant
has a peculiar grace, which we can not
find in any other lily. As a rule the
bulbs, which are quite small, carry one
or two flowers to each stem. Occasion-
ally more than one stem oomes from a
bulb, and a peculiarity of the plant is
that after one lot of flowers is cut an-
other cut of spikes is often produced.
For cutting, this lily is splendid, while
in funeral designs it is superb.

TTie best way to treat L. Philippense
is to put several bulbs in each 6-inch pot
or pan, place in a frame or cool house
for a short time, until growths are three
or four inches high, then shift to a
bench in a house where a temperature oi
60 to 65 degrees at night is kept. Un-
der such conditions plants will flower
easily in eight to ten weeks after pot-
ting. Bulbs must not be left out of the
soil a moment after being received, for
they start to make roots and shoots with
astonishing rapidity. As it flowers in
lialf the time required to bloom Harrisii,
this lily should prove a valuable com-
mercial variety.

Pentstemons.

Cuttings of pentstemons should now
be taken, for these are very useful bed-
ding plants. Select those with the soft-
est wood and of such colors as are most
pleasing. Plant moderately thick in flats
of light, sandy soil and keep shaded in
a coldframe until rooted. They may be
carried over winter in a coldpit just
cleared of freezing, or on the shelf in a
cold greenhouse. Give them the fullest
sunlight as soon as rooted. These cut-
tings, if potted off early in February,
will make excellent stock for spring
sales, being much earlier in flowering
and altogether more satisfactory than
spring seedlings.

Antirrhinums.

Where a bench is at disposal and can
be planted now, a fine cro}) of snapdrag-
on spikes may be had for Christmas.
Space, however, is so valuable in most
establishments until the chrysanthemum
season is over that most growers wait
until benches are cleared of chrysanthe-
mums before planting their stock. Young
plants in 2*/4-inch pots which arc becom-
ing moderately potbound will be benefit-
ed by a shift into 4-inch pots. Keep
them in a coldframe for some time vet

and pinch out all flowering shoots. Cut-
tings put in now will give nice plants
for late benching. Do not grow a mis-
cellaneous mixture of colors, but rather
select a good batch each of red, yellow,
white and pink, all of which are salable
shades.

Atpaxigui Sprengeri.

Have you a sufficient stock of that
ever-useful plant, Asparagus Sprengeri?
Remember that every customer you may
have who orders a 25-cent bouquet wants
a little greenery, just for good measure,
and Sprengeri fills the bill most econom-
ically and satisfactorily. There is al-
ways a good market call for bunches of
this popular asparagus, while none hav-
ing design work or the supplying of
cemetery bouquets can well afford to be
without it. Look over your old plants
now, pick off any dead or decaying
shoots and, if they have been in the
benches a considerable time, give a sur-
facing of well-rotted manure. If bench
space is scarce you can get a good num-
ber of sprays by filling a few large bas-
kets and suspending them in any house
with a winter temperature of 50 degrees.
If you are short of stock for cutting

from, put some of your best pot plants
in a bench containing four or five inches
of soil. They will make considerable
growth before winter.

Freetias.

Your early batch of freesias will now
have made considerable growth. If you
still have them in frames and want a
few for Christmas, move them into a
house where a night reading of 50 to 55
degrees is kept in winter, place on a
shelf well up to the light and see that
they are afforded plenty of water. Later
batches will be all the better in frames
a while longer. Stir the surface soil oc-
casionally and remove all weeds. Be
careful not to water too freely until the
flats or pots are well filled with roots.
Another batch of bulbs for succession
may now be started.

Preparations for Housir^.

We are now past the middle of Sep-
tember and, while delightful weather
and fairly warm nights have so far been
vouchsafed to us, a change to frost may
come any night now. We have known a
killing frost to come as early as Sep-
tember 24, and, on the other hand, have
had vegetation unscathed until the mid-
dle of October. We are never safe after
the middle of September, and it will be
unwise to risk any tender plants out-
doors after this date unless facilities
for protection are at hand.

Stevias are specially sensitive; a
breath of frost blights them. Give them
as cold a house as possible.

plants will be all right in frames for
some time.

Hydrangeas, rambler roses, lilacs and
other shrubs for forcing should have all
])Ossible sunshine .outdoors. Each of
these needs some frost before housing.

If you have omitted putting in cut-
tings of coleus, alternantheras and simi-
lar stocky do so at once. Do not lift old
plants, as many do. They will yield you
a harvest of mealy bug. Label any
cannas, dahlias, gladioli or outdoor
stock you want true to name while the
llowering season lasts.

( Heating Apparatus. '

We presume your boilers are over-
hauled, where such attention was need-
ed, and that heating apparatus gener-
ally is in good condition. It is poor pol-
icy to leave work of this kind until the
advent of nipping nights, but year by
year it is the same old story — a strenu-
ous rush to get necessary repairs made
to avoid a freeze-up. We hope you
closed your coal contracts some time ago,
while fuel was on its summer basis. Get
your winter supply in, or as much as you
can house, while the weather remains
pleasant.

Propagating Bench.

The drainage and sand in your propa-
gating bench should be removed before
the active work of increasing stock com-
mences. Clean the bench out thoroughly,
washing and scrubbing after the sand is
removed. Give the inside of the benches
a washing of hot lime before refilling.
Use three inches of coarse cinders for
drainage. Over this place a good layer
of moss, then three inches of sand, well
pressed down, and afterwards soaked
with the hose. Neither the coarse nor
the fine sand should be used. Try to
strike the happy medium. To give it
more porosity, if fine, add a proportion
of finely screened charcoal to it.

Brief Reminders.

Keep gloxinias and tuberous-rooted
begonias drier at the root as they pass
out of flower. Do not make the drying
too sudden.

Poinsettias and Euphorbia jacquiniae-
flora should now be housed or loss of
foliage may result. Give them full sun-
shine.

Use the hose for overhead syringing
with greater judgment now. Plants
should have their foliage dry before
nightfall. This is particularly true of
carnations and chrysanthemums.

Nerines should now be pushing their
flower spikes. Pot over any urgently re-
quiring it, remembering that these pret-
ty bulbs do best when pots are well
matted with roots.

Give mignonette abundant ventilation
and watch for green cabbage worms now
getting in their work.

Finish putting in geranium cuttings.
Do not make the mistake of standing the
pots outdoors. A soddening rain will
cause many to rot.

Keep azaleas, ericas and other hard-
wooded plants outdoors in a sunny loca-
tion as late as the weather will permit.

Lay rambler roses on their sides if
they have the wood well matured. A
daily spraying overhead will keep them
plump.

Do not allow greenflies to secure a
foothold on cinerarias and calceolarias.
A fresh layer of tobacco stems among
the pots will act as a deterrent.

Keep the runners, now appearing in
goodly numbers, cut off the single vio-
lets and ply the cultivator among them.

GREENS FOR THE RETAILER.

[A paper by D. J. Sinclair, of Toronto, Ont.,
read before the Canadian Horticultural Asso-
ciation, la convention at London, Ont., August
20, 1907.]

When asked to prepare a paper on this
subject, I was much at sea as to what
would be expected, and also as to how
to treat the subject that the members
of this association might receive the
most good from any discussion that
might follow.

First, what does the term "greens"
imply? I take it for granted that all
greenhouse greens, as well as the differ-
ent varieties of imported southern
greens, are included, which will make a
list something like this: Greenhouse
greens — smilax. Asparagus plumosus.
Asparagus Sprengeri, adiantum, and cut
nephrolepis. Hardy greens — native ferns,
galax, leucothoe, boxwood, and southern
smilax.

A Perpleziog Question.

Now, I am not here to tell anything
of the merits or demerits of the various
greens mentioned, how they can be used,
etc., as you are all conversant with that
part of it, but what you do want to
know is how to sell carnations at 50
cents per dozen when they are $3 per
hundred wholesale, and put in a nice lot
of green (gratis), asparagus preferred,
and make money. There is the question
that many retail florists have to face
today. No florist will do any worrying
over what to cover a design with, what
to back a spray with, or what to decorate
a house or church with. The day for
these worries is at an end. With the
present system of cold storage, all these
southern greens are successfully carried
through the whole season, and it is only
a matter of time and we will find the
Canadian trade using the southern hardy
greens as extensively, proportionately, as
they do in the United States.

Greenhouse Stock Crowded Cut.
But with the more extensive use of

imported green, our greenhouse stock
will be to a certain extent crowded out.
A few years ago smilax was used almost
exclusively for covering designs. Now,
hardy ferns and galax are used to quite
as good effect, and are much cheaper.
This makes it more difiicult to get smi-
lax when it is wanted, on account of the
small quantity grown. Asparagus still
holds its own for a cut flower green,
and here comes the perplexing question,
how to give the asparagus that cost 3
cents to 4 cents per spray away with the
cut flowers, or, how to charge extra for
it without offending the customer. It has
been suggested that the retail florists
get together and agree upon some kind
of imiformity in this, as well as other
questions, but the great difference in the
location of the stores and in the classes
of customers makes it very hard to do
this.

A Choice cf Tacftcs.

It is simply up to the florist and his
clerks to use their heads a little and they
will soon get wise to the way some of
the shrewd flower buyers are using them.
.\s an instance, A sells carnations at 75
cents per dozen and gives the green
gratis. B sells his at 60 cents per dozen
and charges extra for the green. A cus-
tomer of A goes to B's store and buys,
but is horrified at being charged extra
for the green, and informs B that A al-
ways gives the loveliest lot of asparagus
"fern" with the carnations and does
not charge extra. The purchaser, of
course, does not for a moment intimate
that the price at A's was 75 cents. B
will nine times out of ten give the green
to get a customer, and save a fuss. Here
is the mistake. B has made a precedent
and it is impossible to break away from
this precedent when this customer comes
back again. The best plan is to have a
rule and stick to it. Either have the
price so as to give green, or, if you
decide to charge extra for the green,
make that the rule and stick to it. Some
florists make it a rule to give hardy

ferns with cut flowers, but if the cus-
tomer insists on asparagus, then charge
extra for it.

Educate (he Public.

One question that might be raised is,
can asparagus and smilax be sold profit-
ably, cheaper than at present! The larg-
est and most extensive growers of these
greens tell us that the present price is
as low as these can be sold for and leave
a fair margin. It is, therefore, up to

the retailer to educate the public to eith-
er one system or the other. Either charge
a price so as to be able to put in the
green, or make it a rule to charge extra
for the green. Which system is the best
is a question that has many debatable
points, each system having its advan-
tages and disadvantages. One thing,
however, I do know — that the retail
florist who gives the asparagus and smi-
lax gratis uses the most; does he sell the
most cut flowers t

STEM-ROT.

I am growing carnations of many va-
rieties and have been troubled with stem-
rot to a great extent. I have lost 4,000
plants this summer and am still losing
them. Enchantress is the most affected.
I have never before had. any disease
among these plants. I had them in pots
and did not lose any. They did not
start to die until they were extra large
plants. There is plenty of lime in the
field and I have been giving the plants a
good deal of lime since they were in the
benches, but have not yet succeeded in
checking the trouble. F. J. B.

It is frequently diflScult to advise in
case of stem-rot trouble, as it is brought
on in so many different ways. The fact
that your soil contains considerable lime
is no guarantee against stem-rot. While
your soil will likely be naturally free
from fungus, yet the lime will not pre-
clude the possibility of its being intro-
duced in a number of ways. Then, again,
it may be present and lie dormant until
a heavy rain comes,™ followed by a spell
of hot, sultry weather. It may have
been introduced with the manure or it
may have been in the soil you brought
out with the young plants. In the house
the chances in its favor are all the great-
er, and during the first week the atmos-
pheric conditions are always highly
favorable to the disease.

Dusting the plants and the soil with
lime and sulphur or grape dust is the
best remedy I know of. This is better
than spraying with fungicides, because
the lime and sulphur dry up, whereas
the liquids supply one of the chief ele-
ments the fungus requires to become ac-
tive, namely, moisture. Stirring the soil
frequently, to allow the air and sun to
penetrate, will also help considerably.
Bordeaux mixture and formalin, the lat-
ter used about 400 of clear water to one
of the solution, are about the best fungi-
cides we know of in the liquid class, and
may be resorted to in case of extremity.
When cool weather sets in, it will Vje
easier to check it. When you begin fir-
ing, paint one of your steam pipes with
a thick paint made of lime and sulphur,
in equal portions, and water. This should
not be made too strong, however, when
the crop is on, as it will cause the blooms
to fade. A good plan is to have on a
crack of air the first twenty-four hours.
By that time its strength will be some-
what spent. Plenty of ventilation should
always be supplied, however.

You may also have planted too deep.
When mulching be sure you keep the ma-
terial away from the stems. Leave a
space about six inches in diameter
around each stem. A. F. J. B.

and not at all unless good growing
weather prevails. I would break it up
as fine as possible, mix it with about six
times its bulk of soil and apply it to the
bench about a quarter inch thick. Along
toward spring it can be applied twico
as heavy without injury. If your car-
nations are growing strong it will per-
haps not injure them now, but I would
prefer to wait until about the middle of
October. By that time the roots have
worked through the soil pretty well and
the plants are thoroughly reestablished
and able to take up rich food.

If you begin with good soil at plant-
ing time it will contain all the food the
plants will want until the roots have
worked through it. During this warm
weather the blooms will not come large,
whatever food may be available, but
when cool weather sets in the plants will
take it up and return it to you in the
blooms. A. F. J. B.

HEN MANURE FOR CARNATIONS.

How strong is it safe to use hen ma-
nure as a mulch for carnations, and at
what time should it be applied! My
idea is to mix the fertilizer with soil
and apply to the surface of the benches.
In what proportions ought I to mix it
and how deep should it be applied! Car-
nations housed August 10 are now be-
ginning to throw up the first crop of
buds. G. W. P.

Poultry manure makes a splendid ar-
ticle for feeding greenhouse crops if
used judiciously. It is very strong and
should be used rather sparingly at first,

MUMS FOR EXHIBITION BLOOMS.

By Thos. McHugh, or Dorval, Que.

[Read before the Canadian Horticultural Asso-
riatlon, la convention at London, Ont., August
29. 1907.]

Your secretary has insisted on my
writing a short paper on exhibition
blooms. I have nothing new to tell you
about their culture. Everyone knows
that it is more a matter of personal at-
tention and enthusiasm on the grower's
part than any secret formula. There is
no secret whatever about growing first-
class mums nowadays.

In March clean, stout young cuttings
should be selected. Avoid any that are
yellow or otherwise unhealthy. Insert
the cuttings in a bed of clean sand — no
bottom heat is needed — in a temperature
of about 50 degrees. Shade from strong
sunshine and spray lightly on bright days
until rooted. When the roots are about
one inch long, the plants should be
potted at once, or they will get hard.
Pot them in 3-inch pots in a compost of
good loam, three parts to two of leaf
soil, with a good dash of sand. Spray
lightly for a few days until the roots
take hold and grow on in a cool house.

say 45 or 50 degrees. Give all the air
possible and syringe every bright day,
but avoid giving them an excess of water
at the roots.

Repotting.

The plants must never be allowed to
get potbound until in their flowering
pots. When the roots show freely around
the ball of soil, shift the plants at once
into pots two sizes larger, unless it is
intended to plant them in the bench.
The writer's practice is to pot the cut-
tings, when rooted, in 3-inch pots, from
thence into 5-inch, and into 7-inch or
8-inch pots to flower. At each repotting
the soil should be made stronger. Four
parts good fibrous loam to one of de-
cayed cow manure, with the addition of
a little bone meal and wood ashes, and
enough sharp sand to make it porous, is
a good compost.

Proper Feeding.

Towards the end of July the plants
may show the need of feeding. This con-
dition is easily recognized by the foliage
turning a lighter shade of green and
the new leaves coming smaller. Begin
by using a weak liquid made from cow

u

or sheep manure, increasing the strength
as the plants become accustomed to it
and changing occasionally to chemical
manures, such as sulphate of ammonia,
nitrate of soda. Horticultural manure,
one pound to fifty gallons of water, and
Clay's manure, used as a top dressing
au4 watered in, are also good. Care
should be taken not to use any of these
manures too strong, and never when the
plants are dry or wilted from want of
water.

With regard to the bud to take for ex-
hibition blooms, the first or second crown
is undoubtedly the best, provided it ap-
pears at the proper time. In this locality
it is safe to take the crown bud, on the
great majority of varieties, from Au-
gust 20 onward.

Ventilation and Syrineios.

During the warm weather keep all the
air possible on the house night and day.
Syringe freely to create a good growing
atmosphere and keep down red spider.
This pest will surely ruin the flowers if
allowed to gain a good foothold. Keep
a sharp lookout for green and black fly,
caterpillars, grasshoppers, etc.

The foregoing, while it applies prin-
cipally to pot culture, will also suit plants
grown in boxes or planted on the bench.
But the opinion of most growers is that
bench-grown blooms lack the perfect
finish of those grown right along in
pots.

TREATMENT OF PAPER WHITES.

How can one manage to have Paper
Whites in bloom when wanted on Christ-
mas, Easter and other occasions? I have
a cold, dark cellar to start them in, but
it is usually too cold in winter. Could
one start them by potting them in flats
out in the open and covering them with
soil or litter, or would they start under
a bench on the north side! R. E.

To have Paper Whites in bloom for
Christmas, allow three weeks in a tem-
perature of 60 degrees after housing
them. In a house 10 degrees cooler give
them a month. We prefer to give them
a moderately cool house, thus making
the spikes stouter and giving the flowers
more substance. At Easter you would
find little use for this bulbous flower,
even if you could hold them back as late'
which you can not do.

If your cellar is just clear of freezing
it will do for the flats. I can not ad-
vise putting them in the open and cov-
ering with soil. These French bulbs arc
more tender than the Dutch ones and
quickly suffer from cold and soddenness
at the roots. Under the bench on the
north side of a house would answer well.
You could board the front of the bench
to keep it darker for them in the early
^tages, or hang some cloth in front of
it for the same purpose.

From bulbs now in flats, flowers can

be had much earlier than Christmas. It'

before Christmas and they will come in

HAIL AT DES MOINES.

There was a heavy fall of hail at
Des Moines, Iowa, Saturday, September
7, which broke a great deal of glass for
all of the west Des Moines florists, but
it did not strike those located in east
Des Moines. The accompanying illustra-
tion shows two different ranges of the
Iowa Seed Co. The pictures look bad
enough, but do not tell the whole story,
for there were a great many panes cracked
which look whole in the illustrattfen,
so that they had to be replaced. The
Towa Seed Co. lost about 12,000 feet.
Vaughan's greenhouses lost about 5,000
feet, William Trillow about 2,000 feet
and Jules Ledig about 2,000 feet. A
few miles west the storm was more like
a tornado and tore up large trees by
the roots and tore houses and other
buildings to pieces.

BEDDING PLANTS.

By Alois B. Fkkv, ok Chicago.

[Rend before the Society of American Flo-
rists, in convention at Pliiladelpliia, August 21,
1907.]

Kiding through parks, " along boule-
vards and country roads, speeding in

the popularity and universal love for
bedding plants.

There is an immense variety of these
plants, from the smallest annual, like
portulaca, up to the stately subtropical
plants, and also the perennials must not
be forgotten, for they figure greatly in
various effective displays. Then we have
tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, etc., for early
spring flowering. No garden, therefore,
need be without flowers, from the time
the dainty little crocuses peep out of the
snow until late in fall.

No matter how small the purse, enough
seed can be purchased to obtain a very
harmonious and artistic effect, as well
as a continuous season of flowers. It is
not the means of being able to procure
a large amount of choice plants, but it
is the good taste and skill of the de-
signer, who understands how to make
an arrangement to harmoniously and
discriminately combine the various col-
ors with immediate surroundings, no mat-
ter how inexpensive, that appeals to the
lover of nature with all its art and
beauty, and this is what we are striv-
ing for more and more every day.

The average florist, who deals in bed-
ding plants, should by all means give
this particular subject thorough study
in order to be able to assist and educate
his customers, who in most cases appre-
ciate such advice and instructions in re-
gard to arranging and planting their
gardens so as to present a beautiful pic-

trains through villages and towns all
over the country, passing the magnifi-
cent palaces of the wealthy, with their
beautiful lawns, and the humble cot-
tages of the poor, surrounded by mod-
est yards, everywhere the eyes meet the
brightness of flowers and richly colored
plants, which at once impress upon us

ture. It requires just as much artistic
judgment and ability to accomplish this
as the painting of a picture on canvas.
The designer must show individuality
and know exactly what proportions the
plants will attain, how soon they will
be fully developed, also how the colors
will blend together; in fact, he must

see the finished picture before him
when he designs his plans. The sooner
we commence to understand how to ar-
range these beautiful gifts of nature
better, the sooner we make a large ma-
jority of the people of our grand na-
tion happier. We have everything to
do it with; now let us understand how
to do it.

To cover the subject best I have di-
vided it into two sections: "Where to
Use Them," and "How to Use Them,"

Where to Use Them.

TTie proper selection of the place for
the floral display is the first to be con-
sidered. A place where it will be prop-
erly effective is just as important as the
execution of the planting, as this takes
a definite part in the entire scheme. Lo-
cality, building and size of grounds must
be taken into consideration. The smaller
the place, the simpler should be the dis-
play; it is so easy to overcrowd a small
front lawn, whereby the proper effect
is entirely lost. Large places in pro-
portion will have more elaborate plant-
ings and the artist will have occasion to
plan special features, such as courtyards,
parterres, sunken gardens, Italian gar-
dens, etc.

The front of a building is nearly al-
ways selected for the display, which is
generally formal, and, if the space is
limited, a narrow border of plants ad-
joining the building will be suflBcient,
with perhaps one or two beds on the
lawn, proportional to the latter. There
should always be plenty of green grass
to offset the beds. The back yard, as a
rule, is very much neglected and in
many instances unsightly. Here I would
advocate having a grass plot with a bor-
der plantation. How much . more cheer-
ful one would feel, looking into a well
kept yard, than at a lot of rubbish!

Places of larger dimensions, with their
beautiful landscape effects, must be
treated more in detail. Here we have an
opportunity to lay out, in connection
with residences, conservatories and pub-
lic buildings, courtyards, parterres, rose
gardens, etc., which as a general rule are
part of the architectural scheme and in
harmony with the style of the building.
In the last few years Italian gardens
have again become quite popular, and
these, especially set apart from the rest
of the landscape, must be treated by
themselves; they are very set and usually
contain considerable color well blended
together.

Besides these forms of special treat-
ment already mentioned, we also have
other flower gardens, which give an op-
portunity for a large variety of flower-
ing plants, in the line of annuals, roses
and perennials, etc., which, properly ar-
ranged, make a brilliant effect without
interfering with the more subdued and
restful landscape.

In Parks and Boulevards.

Public parks especially are a great
field for floral displays and, although
some authorities on landscape gardening
do not favor them, I believe the public
fully appreciates flowers, though utmost
care must be taken not to let the flowers
run wild all over the park, but keep them
in the vicinity of buildings or entirely
away and screened off from the quiet
landscape. Boulevards, also, and small
squares, can be most admirably bright-
ened with the ornamentation of flower
beds.

Last year, at the convention at Day-
ton, O., all our members had the rare op-
portunity of seeing how the surroundings

of a factory can be laid out in a most
praiseworthy manner. Here our bedding
plants brighten daily the minds of thou-
sands of people.

How many people are not fortunate
enough to possess a home with a lawn and
flower beds! There is no necessity to de-
prive themselves of nature 's gifts, but they
can enjoy them in a more modest way
by keeping flower boxes, which, no mat-
ter how obscure and unassuming the
dwelling, give it a homelike air and en-
liven the aspect of many an otherwise
somber home.

On the other hand, many beautiful res-
idences rely solely upon piazza boxes for
their floral display and exquisite results
can be obtained in this manner.

Finally, a few words should be devoted
to the homes of our loved dead. There
is nothing more soothing to the grief-
stricken heart than the sight of well kept
cemeteries, bedded with appropriate flow-
ers speaking the language of peace and
rest.

How to Use Them.

There are many and varied ways that
the bedding plants lend themselves to;
there still remains another problem to
solve, namely, "How to Use Them."
Here skill in artistic arrangement and
harmony of colors is put to a severe test.

Starting with the beginning of the
season, the various Dutch bulbs are the
first ones to attract our attention. They
are easily cultivated and therefore most
appropriate for the amateur. Exquisite
effects and color schemes can be carried
out. Although their duration of bloom
barely reaches more than four weeks, I
think they make the most striking dis-
play of the season. Only the purest and
clearest colors should be selected. Off
colors and the peculiar magenta shades
are hard to match with pure colors and
are best planted by themselves, or far
enough distant so as not to detract from
them. Mixed beds containing a number
of varieties look very well, but beds of
all one color show by far better taste.
"Where a number of beds are planted,
greater attention must be given to work
out a harmonious color scheme. Pink,
white and light blue blend admirably to-
gether; next comes yellow, then red and
yellow and the various reds. It is a
great deal more pleasing to the eye to let
the colors run into each other by degrees
than to create too great" a contrast. Col-
onies of crocuses, snowdrops and scillas,
singly and several together, irregularly
scattered on the lawn, look very charm-
ing.

Pansies, bellis and myosotis are also ex-
tensively used. Although the pansies
come in a multitude of colors, they are
mostly used mixed and often with Bellis
perennis as a border. Little advantage
has been taken of working out color
schemes with pansies and yet, if we stop
to study their rich tints, tints which I
think cannot be found in any other plant,
the possibilities are wonderful.

Following these come the summer
plantings with cannas, geraniums, helio-
tropes, begonias, petunias, coleus, acaly-
phas, abutilon, salvias, verbenas and a

great number of other plants too numer-
ous to be mentioned.

Treatment of the Plants.

Nearly all bedding plants thrive and
flourish best in full sunlight except tuber-
ous begonias and fuchsias, which do best
in half shade, where there is plenty of
indirect light. Other plants, like some
of our hardy palms, phoenixes, latanias,
chamserops, and the various fibrous rooted
begonias, like Semperflorens, Vernon,
Schmitti and fancy-leaved caladiums, do
well under both conditions.

The soil for cannas, musas, ricinus and
Caladium esculentum should be very rich,
their growth will be so much more lux-
uriant, while the rest of the plants, like
geraniums, begonias, verbenas, salvias,

cuphea, ageratums, etc., also need en-
riched soil. Care must be taken, how-
ever, not to use too much fertilizer, as
this would result disastrously, the plants
showing an abundance of foliage in place ,
of flowers.

Bedding plants, before being set out
in their summer quarters, should be prop-
erly hardened off. They should be ex-
posed freely to the air and sunlight at
least two weeks before the planting sea-
son commences. Nothing serves this pur-
pose better than the hotbed, no matter
how much some of the growers are op-
posed to this sort of cultivation. It is
true that the cost of labor is somewhat
higher, but the superior results obtained
fully justify the expenditure made, and
plants hardened off in this manner suf-
fer but very little in transplanting.

We have plants of every desirable
height, from two inches up to eight feet,
some with a wealth of flowers, others
with richly colored foliage, some with
coarser, others with more graceful fea-
tures.

Gmsideration of the Sky Line.

In the arrangement of plantings one
great object, which is one of the great
principles in landscape gardening, is in
many cases lost sight of, namely, the
consideration of the sky line. Especially
in large border plantations this should be
applied. Here we have tall plantings
broken with lower ones, until they finally
run out to very low plants at the edge.
In fact, in smaller as well as in larger
displays, the relation of one bed to the
o^her should be treated this way.

While the beds are more or less for-
mal, they should not appear stiff. Every
plant should have plenty of room for full
development, and where a number of va-
rieties are used in one bed, the tall ones
should not be massed all together, but
here and there one should rise above the
lower ones, so as to present a loose and
pleasing arrangement, and in this manner
every plant will show its valuable points
more advantageously. For example, a
bed planted only with Ficus clastica
would look very stiff, but intermingled
with the graceful Grevillea robusta and
a border of ivy, it would lose this stiff-
ness and present a very pleasing effect.
This shows that by careful study we can
improve the bad points of one plant with
the good ones of another.

Particular care should be given to the
selection of the various tints, blending
richly colored foliage tastefully with the
more gorgeously tinted flowers, so as not
to create too great a contrast. Beds of

solid colors, alternating with some of
less contrast, will harmoniously tie the
entire display together and this will help
greatly to achieve the desired plan. It
is in the designer's power to present a
very brilliant or a very quiet picture,
accordins to the scheme that is reauired.

Quiet and restful effects are worked
out by using tints of various blues, white
and gray, variegated, glaucus and bronze
foliage with a little touch of red. An-
thericum vittatum var., Punica Granat-
ium pumila, Abelia rupestris, helio^irope.
Plumbago Capensis coerulea and alba,
Phygelius Capensis, santolina and Abutil-
on Savitzii lend themselves well for this
purpose.

Much more could be said on the sub-
ject, but, in my oi5inion, one runs no
risk of failure by adhering to the points
laid out in my modest essay.

NIGHT-BLOOMING CEREUS.

The Eeview is indebted to Fred Ehret,
of Philadelphia, for the accompanying
illustration of a night-blooming cereus
and the following description, which was
given to Mr. Ehret by a private gar-
dener :

' ' The owner of this plant is Kensel
Wills, Avho has been giving nightly re-
ceptions at his home, 1603 Popular street,
to his numerous acquaintances to see the
plant in flower. The last time Mr. Wills 's
plant bloomed was three years ago, when
it showed three flowers. This year it
showed nine flowers, and the night fol-
lowing two more blooms were in evidence,
and during the following week several
more flowers were produced. Mr. Wills
is very proud of his plant, which he has
had for twenty-five years. The fame of
the plant has spread over a large section
of the northern part of Philadelphia."

NEVYOEK.

The Market

In the east we are experiencing
the vagaries of a peculiar season.
August was September — cool, clear, de-
lightful weather. September has gone
back to the dog days, and business has
consequently gone to the dogs. The
"good old summer time," with its hu-
midity, is with us again. It is needless
to dwell on the consequences. Dullness
prevails, stock is soft, and there is too
much of it. The best sells readily, and
at good prices, but the supply of bon
ton flowers is like the number of ban
ton people. The street venders are com-
ing back to the city. This week closes
the summer resorts, and the city will
soon be overflowing again with displays
by the sidewalk merchants, and the
usual fall trade will begin, as it always
does, with the advent of the cooler
weather. Another week will see a de-
cided change for the better.

Everybody must be growing asters
this year, farmers, market gardeners,
amateurs, even private individuals in the
suburbs, whose highest ambitions were
tomatoes and onions. They all have the
aster fever, from the looks of the whole-
salers' windows, cellars and ice-boxes.
It is impossible to find an outlet for the
daily receipts.

Gladioli seem to have grown better in
quality, and the demand is great. There
is no surplus of fine stock, such as Mr.
Hendrickson, of Childs' Floral Park
farms, exhibited at the last meeting of
the Florists' Club.

Vaitout Notes.

John Young has commenced to cut
Beauties from his 700-foot house at Bed-
ford Station. He says he wishes he had
two more" houses just as large. "The
wish is father to the thought, ' ' they say.

A goodly number of the wholesalers

are nursing attacks of hay fever, but

there are no hayseeds among them. The

new president of the S. A. F. is one of

. the victims.

Lyman Craw, of the Lord & Burnham
Co., is enjoying his late vacation at the
New England seashore resorts, as is his
yearly custom, with his family.

Eetail windows in New York are pro-
fusely decorated with the new nephrol-

water lilies is most effective. Thorley
uses Ficus pandurata, orchids. Gladiolus
America and selected hydrangeas. War-
endorff used many varieties of dahlias
all the week, and by arrangement and
profuseness illustrated how useful and
artistic a display could be made with a
comparatively common flower. Constant
change of color and variety made each
day worth notice. Tritomas are also
largely used. Nugent 's Whitmani, with
artistic grouping of selected valley, or-
chids and roses, keeps his window an ob-
ject lesson to practical Twenty-eighth
street, which has its effect in neater
wholesale window displays all along the
lino.

Wertheimer Bros, are placing another
new ribbon on the market this week,
which they term a rich design of inter-
woven leaves and foliage, suitable for
Beauties and Enchantress especially.

The Johnston Heating 'Co. will move
its New York office, October 1, to Twen-

ty-ninth street, comer of Lexington ave-
nue. This firm has a contract for the
erection of a conservatory at Far Rock-
away, amounting to over $1,4(J0, and
seems well satisfied with the business of
the year.

Hitchings & Co. are now casting their
boilers at the new fouhdry at Elizabeth,
N. J. The plant will be completed and
the firm fully established in the new lo-
cation by the first part of November.

The Pierson U-Bar Co. is receiving
many orders from Canada this fall, the
fact that there is no gutter or eaves in
the construction appealing to the florists
of the northland, because thereby the
snow storms lose their menace and im-
portance.

Lord & Burnham are building an ex-
tensive addition to the plant of the Bo-
tanical Gardens at Washington. They
also have a $20,000 contract for a build-
ing at the Agricultural College at Stoors,
Conn., and one of similar proportions at
the Soldiers' Home at Washington.
These and other large plants at Cornell,
Amherst and other colleges demonstrate
the universality of interest in floricul-
ture taken everywhere by our educa-
tional institutions.

Guttman & Weber report their plants
of Imperial and Pink Imperial in fine
shape and prophesy a big demand for
the flowers. Victory promises to be as
popular as ever this winter.

A. M. Henshaw visited some of his
Jersey growers last week. He is quite
sure his large store will be none too deep
for the flood of stock he has arranged
for.

N. Lecakes & Co. are already receiv-
ing an average of 1,000 strings of smi-
lax weekly. Four thousand a week is
the winter record. Good leucothoe and
galax are arriving from the south, while
more ferns are already in storage than
were used all last season.

F. O. Pierce Co. moved on Monday of
this week to the new store, at 12 West
Broadway and 227 Greenwich street.

The Kervan Co. now occupies both
floors of the new store on West Twenty-
eighth street. Regular supplies of wild
smilax are arriving daily, and fresh pal-
metto canes are now in abundance. This
firm has facilities for a large winter's
trade. Mr. Kervan, Sr., has just re-
turned from the Grand Army reunion,
at Saratoga, N. Y.

Russin & Hanfling report a large
shipping trade. Their baskets and
sheaves are of their own manufacture.

General complaint is made of the
slowness of collections in every line of
the trade, but if advance orders with the
bulb men and wholesale supply houses
are a safe indication of prosperity, this
will be the best season ever known in
New York.

Gunther Bros, are handling Herbert &
Sons' dahlias. The weather has dom-
inated quality and first arrivals have not
been up to expectations, but improve-
ment is noted daily and grand stock is
promised.

During the alterations and repainting
and general refurnishing of the wholesale
stores many of the firms have used the
awnings and rear yards to their advan-
tage. John Gunther says it reminds him
of the story of the barber who announced
by sign at the front of the store, "Dur-
ing alterations, customers will be shaved
in the back."

Frank Millang and family are home
from a two months' trip in Europe. Mr.
Millang has fifteen pounds more of good

German weight than when he went away.

Tuberoses are here again, but J. K.
Allen says that for years it has not paid
to grow them. There is no demand for
them.

Among the Rhinebeck violet growers, J.
Vonder Linden has 35,000 plants there
and 40,000 at Staatsburg. The output is
all handled by B. S. Slinn, Jr. Septem-
ber 10 Mr. Slinn received se/en boxes.

George Cotsonas & Co. have already
two and a half million fancy ferns in
storage. Sixteen men are out gathering
fern stock for the winter season. Large
quantities of new green galax are ar-
riving.

The Geller Florist Supply Co. has in-
creased its working force in the store, put
a traveler on the road and added a new
wagon to its conveniences. Mr. Geller
says the importations selected by himself
in Europe this summer are beginning to
arrive.

David D. Howell entertained Mr. and
Mrs. Ernest Ludwig, of Allegheny, Pa.,
last week and showed them the sights.
Mr. Howell is an ex-resident of Pitts-
burg and announces that he will shortly
open a retail store in New York.

In Brooklyn on Thursday last, J. V.
Phillips had the decorations for the Held-
Greene and Seaver-Fiske weddings. These
were both home weddings and the deco-
rative work was elaborate. W. A. Phil-
lips, his son, and Miss Grace Erskine
were married recently.

S. Masur, of Brooklyn, has an aster
farm near Rahway, N. J., that has kept
his store filled with fine stock for weeks.
His n^w establishment is far in advance
of the old and his business has doubled
since his removal to 238 Fulton street.

William Hanft, formerly with Fleisch-
man, has taken a position in the store
of Thomas Young, Jr., on West Twenty-
eighth street.

John P. Scherer, of Union Hill, has
large contracts for wreathing. He will
make his headquarters hereafter at his
New York store, 468 Sixth avenue,

William Starke has a stock of several
hundred fine Whitmani ferns in his con-
servatory at 52 West Twenty-ninth street,
that are selling fast. There is a seem-
ingly universal demand for the Boston
fern and its many children, this fall, in
excess of any former season.

Next week, commencing Tuesday, Sep-
tember 24, the seventy-sixth annual ex-
hibition of the American Institute takes
place at the Bakeley Lyceum building,
19 West Forty-fourth street. Dahlias
are featured. There will also be fruits,
vegetables, orchids, herbaceous flowers,
palms, ferns and floral novelties.

State of Business*

Stock is coming in much better, and
improving right along. Some good roses
are seen, and also some carnations from
new stock which are good flowers but
short in stem. Some fine gladioli are
still coming in. Asters are rather scarce
at present and are running poor; few
good ones to be seen. The weather has
been extremely hot for this season of
the year.

Various Notes.

Sherman Stephens reports a busy time
for a week or so, on funeral work. He
has rebuilt one of his rose houses and
built one large house in place of two
smaller ones.

There was a good turn-out at our club

after six weeks' illness. After the meet-
ing all went to the bowling alleys. The
three high rollers were McKellar, Reich-
ert and Bauman.

The parks here are looking fine at this
time.

The Munk Floral Co. is busy complet-
ing its range and has a nice lot of carna-
tions and mums coming on.

Gus Ackerman is cutting some fine
roses and carnations, which find ready
sale.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has just
completed its 75-foot stack and is busy
with piping. The roses and carnations
are looking fine and some stock is being
cut from the new place.

▼M. C. YOUNG.

William C. Young, who was installed
president of the St. Louis Florists' Club
at its meeting September 12, was born in
Toronto, Canada, June 1, 1857. When
he was eight years of age his parents re-
moved to St. Louis, locating in what
was then far out in the suburbs. After
three years of country schooling he en-
tered the employ of a firm known as C.
Young & Sons. He has continued with
this establishment ever since. He was
admitted to partnership in 1887. The
firm is now C. Young & Sons Co. and
they do a large business, including all
departments of the trade. They have a
large retail cut flower business, an ex-
cellent plant trade and do a large vol-
ume in the seed department.

The Market*

The market has not changed much in
the last two weeks. Good roses are still
scarce, home-grown ones being poor. Some
fine stock is shipped in from Chic&go.
Carnations are making their appearance
once more, but are rather short in stem.
Gladioli are plentiful, but extra good
ones are scarce. Dahlias are now com-
ing in, but in small quantities. Asters
are plentiful and selling at $1 to $1.50
per hundred. This market is well sup-
plied with greens.

Various Notes.

The demand for funeral work is good.
Florists are quite busy arranging and
preparing for the interstate fair and ex-
position, which will open September 23
in this city. The outlook is good and
everybody is looking forward to that
week. There are quite a number of pre-
miums offered and everyone who enters
fully expects to win. The grounds are
located just south of the residence part
of the city, on the Elm Ridge race track.

Nelson Jarrett is quite busy installing
a new hot water boiler in the two large
liouses just completed. He has an ofBce
and salesroom attached to these houses
and soon will be in shape to do business.
Mr. Jarrett sells the bulk of his output at
the City market, as his place is quite far
in the outskirts of the city; but the city
is fast coming his way.

Miss Lillie Humfeld, bookkeeper for
the W. H. Humfeld Floral Co., has gone
on an extended trip east for her vacation.
She will visit Indianapolis, Cincinnati,
Washington, Philadelphia, New York,
Boston and other points. She expects to
be gone about five weeks. W. H^j /

M. Crawford, who is now growing
gladiolus bulbs for the trade at Shioc-
ton, Wis., sent the Review a pail of
fine spikes one day last week.

The new rose, a sport from Belle Sie-
brecht, being introduced by Hugh Low
& Co., Bush Hill Park, Middlesex, Eng-
land, is spelled Joseph Lowe, not Low,
as it appeared in the Review of Au-
gust 22.

David Fbaser, secretary of the Chry-
santhemum Society, says: "The judges
at Cincinnati speak very highly of Chry-
santhemum Golden Glow, exhibited by
Smith & Son, and say it is good in every
way and will be a valuable addition to
the early flowering varieties. It was
shown in Pittsburg September 3 in fine
shape. ' '

It may be possible to govern by in-
junction, but you can not cure diseases
of plants by that process, as instanced
by the failure of the Charleston, S. C,
growers to secure an order making per-
manent the injunction against one of
their number whom they seek to hold re-
sponsible for blight. The outcome of
the interesting suit is reported on page
34 of this issue.

The increase in the cost of wrapping
paper and twine has been an item in the
accounts of many florists. Manila has
advanced thirty per cent in the last six
months, and the finer grades of tissue
have gone up, some of them as much as
100 per cent. Hollis & Duncan, who
supply a large part of the trade in Chi-
cago, say they can see no early prospect
for a reduction in prices.

Fbosts now are due at any time over
that part of the United States where the
interests of our trade are greatest.

VARIEGATED IMPATIENS.

Will you kindly inform me if there is
any variegated impatiens, as I have about
a dozen plants of them which originated
with me? W. CD.

I have seen occasional variegated plants
of Impatiens Sultani and one of I. Hol-
stei. I do not know if any such are in
commerce. I think it probable that they
are not uncommon, however. It ig pos-
sible your plant may be a desirable nov-
elty for bedding and pot culture. Send
leaves to some prominent plant specialist
and ask his opinion of it. C. W.

COULDN'T ANSWER HIS MAIL.

A subscriber in the west sends the
Review a circular issued by William
Kuyk, of HiUegom, Holland, giving de-
tails as to the new carnations originated
by Alfred Giraud and for which varieties
Mr. Kuyk is looking for a purchaser.
The circular begins:

"With reference to the advertisement
in the Weekly Florists' Review of
June 20, 1907, page 31, I received so
many letters that I decided to make a
circular giving the desired particulars."

When an advertiser, who offers for sale
the entire stock of a new plant, gets so
many applications for details that he
cannot answer them all by letter, he
ought to be pretty well satisfied with
the results from an advertisement that
cost $10, and evidently Mr. Kuyk is.

STATE OF GENERAL BUSINESS.

Fall trade in dry goods and wearing
apparel picked up considerably last week,
and judging from the number of orders
booked the volume of business this sea-
son will compare favorably with that of
last year. The more promising aspect of
the corn crop as the result of favorable
weather was reflected in more confident
buying by country dealers. Tight money
is still a deterrent influence in the gen-
eral business situation, but with the in-
creased movement of crops there is no-
ticeable improvement in mercantile collec-
tions throughout the agricultural dis-
tricts. Visiting country merchants were
present in the cities in large numbers
and purchased freely.

There was some increase in the de-
mand for building material, though the
stringency of the money market is a fac-
tor in curtailing construction work. Deal-
ers in paints and oils had nothing to
complain of, though some of them de-
clared business could be a little better.
The steel trade, if anything, showed a
slight improvement. A good many or-
ders were placed by buyers who had
been holding off for more favorable
money developments.

THE DEATH ROLL.

A. G. Hall.

A. G. Hall died at his home in Fair-
mont, W. Va., September 9, after a long
illness. He was 78 years of age. For
many years he had been postmaster of
Fairmont. Of late years he had conduct-
ed a flower and garden seed store. This
business is now in charge of his son,
E. M. Hall. Another son, Harry Hall,
resides in Chicago.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

A week of unseasonably hot weather
has had a depressing effect upon the
market. For five or six days the tem-
perature has been 10 to 15 degrees
above the normal for the time of the
year, and all lines of business are feel-
ing the effect. We are having 85 de-
grees in the shade, with a minimum of
72 degrees at night, at a date when we
usually begin to look for our first frosts.

Not only has the warm weather taken
the desire for flowers from the public,
but it has resulted in a considerable in-
crease in daily receipts. Stock is com-
ing on too fast. Not only are receipts
increased, but quality is impaired. Koses,
in the first part of September, were con-
siderably better than usual, but the heat
has taken the quality out of nearly all
varieties. There continues to be a fair
demand for Beauties, with receipts about

equal to the daily requirements. White
roses now are in larger supply and about
equal to the demand, which is largely
for stock for funeral work, with which
the local retailers have been especially
favored in the last few days. Kaiserin
still holds up well, for it is the best hot-
weather rose. Other varieties are all in
good supply. Stems are getting longer
daily.

Carnations again cut a considerable
figure on the market. The receipts are
steadily increasing, and the increase has
been rapid since the warm days came on.
They have not helped the quality. Stems
are gradually lengthening, and as soon
as we get a little seasonable weather to
put crisp ness into the blooms we shall
have carnations equal to the require-
ments of the most exacting. If the heat
continues we shall soon have supplies
which will trouble the wholesalers to find
a market, although now all good carna-
tions are selling well, and those with the

4-inch stems are bringing as much as
could be expected.

In spite of the fact that some growers
say they are near the end of their aster
crops, still the market is overloaded, es-
pecially with the poor stock. There is
an abundance of large, long-stemmed
asters to meet all requirements. The re-
tailers have been able to make a good
profit on the heavy run of funeral work
of the last few days by using white
asters.

There are a few violets received in
each of four or five commission houses.
The quality runs from pretty poor to
fairly good. Last week as high as 75
cepts per hundred was received, but this
week 50 cents is the top price, and
some violets go to waste. There really
is no use in sending them to such a
market as we have this week. Chrysan-
themums in yellow, pink and white are
to be had on advance orders.

Gladioli continue to be a burden. A
little good stock sells, but the common

the double store entirely redecorated.
The walls are covered with mirrors, the
same as in the old Fleischman store on
State street. Mr. Rubel says they have
ways of doing business all their own,
and that he wants his store different
from other flower stores. Certainly there
is none other like it in town. The fit-
tings are probably the most expen-
sive in the west. While the store will
undoubtedly attract many people, some
retailers believe that such decorations,
while they might not convince the pub-
lic that one could be sure of getting
first-class stock within, would not fail to
convey the idea that first-class prices
would be charged. There is an opening
in progress all of this week.

The Horticultural Society Dinoer.

The executive committee of the Hor-
ticultural Society of Chicago entertained
about forty people at dinner at the
Union restaurant on the evening of Sep-
tember 16. The purpose was to present
to the winners the society 's silver med-
als, which have been so long in course
of preparation. Some forty of these
medals are now ready, and seem well
Avorth working and waiting for. The de-
sign is excellent.

Following the presentation of the
medals to those of the winners who were
present, there was a general discussion
regarding the coming show, with free
expression of opinion by all present,
with the result that there seems suffi-
cient support pledged to insure the suc-
cess of the autumn exhibition.

Following the general talk, there was
a meeting of the executive committee to
arrange early details. George Asmus
was appointed manager, as usual. J. C.
Vaughan was instructed to go ahead with
poster and program and authorized to
appoint all necessary committees for
show work. The Coliseum has been
leased for a show opening Wednesday,
November 6 and continuing to include
Tuesday, November 12.

Qub Meetin£.

Th^re was an attendance of about
twenty members at the meeting of the
Florists' Club Thursday evening, Sep-
tember 12. Routine business was dis-
patched with promptness. A committee
consisting of J. C. Vaughan, Andrew
McAdams and P. J. Hauswirth was ap-
pointed to prepare resolutions upon the
death of Flint Kennicott.

Upon the request of Treasurer Edgar
Sanders to be relieved of his duties, the
trustees were directed to select an as-
sistant treasurer and the secretary was
instructed to express to Mr. Sanders the
club's sympathy and hope for the res-
toration of the failing strength which
makes his request seem necessary.

The applications of John Van der
Wal, S. B. Fischer and Frank Beu were
received. Mr. A'^an der Wal was present
as a guest and brought up the subject of

the expediency of wholesalers declining
to handle the stock of growers of sum-
mer flowers who are not regularly en-
gaged in the florists' business and whose
product comes in competition with those
whose livelihood is wholly obtained from
the trade. A long and lively discussion
ensued, in which it appeared to be the
opinion of the smaller growers, who
largely are dependent upon outdoor
crops for the season's profit, that out-
side competition should be restricted,
but, on the other hand, many took a
broader view and argued that as "great
oaks from little acorns grow," so da
large trade institutions sometimes de-
velop from small and amateurish begin-
nings. While it was pointed out that
there was no possibility of the club tak-
ing action in any such matter affecting
the welfare or interests of any part or
parts of the club membership, the sub-
ject is one of such interest that it was
made a special order for discussion at
the November meeting.

C. F. Wood, of Louisville, and J. G.
Morley, superintendent of parks of Los
Angeles, were present and each spoke-
briefly.

J. S. Wilson, of Vaughan 's Green-
houses, Western Springs, exhibited a
vase of the Red Kaiserin rose. Presi-
dent Bruns appointed a committee, con-
sisting of F. Fischer, George Asmus and
W. L. Palinsky, to examine it. They re-
ported that the variety seems to have a
promising commercial future.

Bros. Co. were more than double those
of the same month last year. E. E.
Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros. Co., says
that in the first ten days of September
as much business was done as in the first
twenty days of the month last year.
Other houses doubtless could also make
good reports.

Fred Sperry, of Vaughan & Sperry, is
due back from Colorado this week.

E. Fransen calls attention to the fact
that it was a year ago on September 17
that Scheiden & Schoos opened in the
Flower Growers' market. He says the

firm is more than pleased with the result
of the year's business. They now are
cutting a good crop of carnations and
doing quite a shipping trade.

Mike Fink, who has been with the A.
L. Bandall Co. since he went out of the
retail business on Cottage Grove avenue,
started in with the Kennicott Bros. Co.
September 16.

George Eeinberg has just put in a
new Orr & Lockett refrigerator at the
city store, so that now he has a box
thirty-four feet long and eight feet deep.
It can be cooled either with ice or with

outside air, when the weather is suitable.

John Kruchten has his store in fine
shape for the fall business. An orna-
mental railing has been put around the
balcony and the entire place treated to a
coat of white enamel.

G. H. Pieser, president and secretary
of the Kennicott Bros. Co., has been
away this week on a brief vacation.

Capt. A. I. Simmons is able to be about
once more, after spending four weeks in
bed with an abscess on one leg.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Trade seems to improve, but is not as
active as it should be. Almost the only
business is funeral work, which was
quite plentiful last week. Some of the
downtown retailers report that transient
trade also is looking up, especially since
the theaters are open. The wholesalers
say that the trade was buying more
heavily last week than for some time,
and business should increase each week
from now on.

In looking over the stock Monday
morning, September 16, we find roses
plentiful in all grades except of the spe-
cial. There are too many short-stemmed,
which are sold cheap in order to dispose
of the large consignments. Carnations
are coming in more plentifully; still few

Qub Meetin£.

On the afternoon of September 12 the
Florists' Club held its regular monthly
meeting, an enthusiastic one. The at-
tendance was some twenty members.

President Irish and his staff of offi-
cers opened the meeting and heard re-
ports from all the committees, which
were discharged with thanks. One ap-
plication for membership was received,
that of Walter Retzer, of the St. Louis
Seed Co. Two new members were elect-
ed, L. M. Van Hook, a grower, and D.
Bova, a retailer.

President Irish appointed ex-Presi-
dents Guy and Dunford to assist him
in the installation. The first officer in-
stalled was the new trustee, Charles
Schoenle, who promised, with the assist-
ance of Messrs. Smith and Beyer, to
make this the banner year of the club
in attendance and social features. Treas-
urer F. H. Weber was next installed
and promised to watch the treasury with
an eagle eye. Secretary A. J. Bentzen
followed, and promised to do his duty to
the best of his ability. George H. An-
germneller, vice-president, came next,

with a promise to never miss a meeting.
Then came President William C. Young 's
turn. He said that, with the assistance
of his staff and the members, he will
make this the best year in the history of
the club. Ex-President Irish thanked

the members for their assistance in the
last year and spoke very enthusiastically
on the future of the club.

The secretary's report showed that the
average attendance during the year was
twenty-five. The largest attendance at
any one meeting was forty, the Novem-

ber meeting, when the chrysanthemum
exhibition took place. The treasurer's
report showed a healthy balance.

A number of excellent queries from
the question box brought forth a lively
discussion, in which Messrs. Dunford,
Guy, Irish, Fillmore and Fulgraf took
part. Before adjournment President
Young announced that a luiuh. with re-
freshments and cigars, was in waiting
in a near-by cafe, where a general talk
took place.

Various Notes.

Secretary H. C. Irish, of the National
Council of Horticulture, reports that a
special car will leave Kansas City Sep-
tember 20 to carry those who will attend
the big horticultural meeting at the
Jamestown exposition, September 23
to 27.

In a letter to the Florists' Club Pro-
fessor Trelease, of the Misso\ni Botan-
ical Garden, stated that Edwin Nyden,
the club's scholar at the garden, had
passed the highest examination and had
been accepted to fill out the term of
Paul Roper, who had resigned. Young
Nyden 's home is in Kenosha, Wis.

J. F. Ammann's failure in not at-
tending the club's last meeting was ex-
plained by the fact that he is serving on
the United States jury at Edwardsville.
Next month he will be assistant super-
intendent of floriculture at the Illinois
State Fair. A large delegation from
here has promised to spend a day there.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Trade last week was fair. Funeral
work still holds out well, and, in fact,
that is almost the only kind of l)usiness
looked for. Koses are coming in more
regularly, as the warm weather is nearly
gone, and the stock is improving in
quality. Carnations are much better.
Asters are still coming in heavily, but
will soon be on the decrease; they are
selling well. There are still large quan-
tities of gladioli on the market. Dah-
lias are better and selling better, as the
cool nights we are having are bringing
the .stock up to the standard. Greens of
all kinds are enough to meet the de-
mands.

The Gardeners' Club.

At the last meeting of the Gardeners'
Club plans were made by many to go to
the Jamestown exposition to attend the
horticultural show, September 23.

An informal discussion of the labpr
question was held, in which many told
their troubles in getting men who are
interested enough in flowers to work con-
scientiously.

The meeting continued till nearly mid-
night.

Various Notes.

E. Van Eeuth, of Hamilton, Md., is
erecting a new house.

G. Cook, of Arlington, is still hauling
flowers and vegetables to the market.
He has named his home Floral I*ark and

reports that a new hotel costing $100,-

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Trade has shown some improvement
the la.'st week, several weddings, the
iiorse show and a few large funerals
helping, but there is no scarcity of flow-
ers. Asters are coming in all colors,
and some of them are i)retty bad, none
of them just what they should be. Roses
continue to improve every day, and there
is demand for all the good stock.

Various Notes.

The handsomest thing seen in the way
of a store decoration was arranged by
Mrs. E. A. Williams, for McCreery &
(-0. About 300 feet of show windows
were arranged with green plush, sped
men foliage plants and America gladioli.
The same flowers and plants were used
throughout the store and the effect was
elegant. This firm, when making these
annual decorations, remove all their own
goods from the window and depend on
the elegance of the floral display to
bring the ])eople inside. From the ap-
pearance of things in this place of busi-
ness they are not disappointed, as noth-
ing more elegant has been seen for a
long time.

There has been a small war among
some of the street men, who have been
cutting prices on asters, and last week
they were selling at 5 cents per dozen,
and pretty good stock at that.

Miss McKinley is back at her post
with Randolph & McClements, after a
two months' vacation, and is looking
ready for all the rush business that can

The Market

Business has been fairly good ami
flowers have cleaned up better than for
some time. Rosea are gradually improv-
ing, but need cooler weather than we are
now getting to give them size. Carna-
tions are increasing in quantity, but are
not nearly sufficient for requirements yet.
The quality is not yet high class. A
few single violets made their appear-
ance this week. They are, however,
small and pale. A few cold nights will
improve them. Gladioli are still fairly
abundant, but will not last much longer.

Asters still dominate the market and
are quite abundant at a wide range of
prices, some first-class stock bringing
$2.50 to $3 per hundred, while small
stock has only made 25 cents to 30 cents.
Lilium Harrisii and L. speciosum are
both in fair supply and there is plenty
of cosmos. The early mums should make
their appearance in a day or two, but
meanwhile the best quality asters will

discount them. A few sweet peas are
still coming in. Some dahlias are seen,
but these are not popular market flowers
in Boston.

Qub Meeting.

About 150 members attended the club
meeting September 19, which opened the
fall season, the gathering being a rous-
ing and enthusiastic one. The lecture of
the evening, by Dr. R. G. Leavitt, of the
Ames Botanical Laboratory, North Eas-
ton, on * * Hybridization, ' ' proved e.K-
tremely interesting. What takes place
after fertilization, the Mendelian law, the
jirobable effects of using double pollen.
and other phases, were all touched upon
by the lecturer, who used the blackboard
to illustrate some of his remarks. A dis-
cussion followed and a rising vote of
thanks was tendered Dr. Leavitt.

The report of the picnic committee
was read and accepted and the committee
and prize donors thanked. Prizes of $2,
$4 and $6 offered last October for gera-
nium plants to be started at that time,
from cuttings, and shown in September,

1907, were competed for by young gar-
deners and some excellent specimens were
shown. The exhibition was further added
to by a goodly number of names. Re-
freshments were served, as usual. Ar-
rangement was made for the coming field
day, at Marblehead, with W. W. Rawson
& Co., September 21. A special coach
for club members will be attached to the
12:44 train at North station. Tickets,
free. Other business kept the meeting
until quite a late hour.

Various Notes.

posed of his collection of orchids, the
largest portion being donated to Bronx

The Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety will hold its annual exhibition of

prizes are proving a great attraction.

The Rising Eutem Market.

Truly might a flower lover in the
month of September, A. D. 1907, be par-
doned for believing that the initials
stood for Asters, Dahlias, instead of
Anno Domini. But asters are now on the
wane. Really choice stock is none too
plentiful, with the ordinary and common
grades less superabundant than a week
ago. Reports from certain sections in-
dicate, however, that we will have some
fine asters for some time to come. Dah-
lias now rule the market. They are ar-
riving in far larger quantities this week
than at any time so far, and the demand
for them is improving. The varieties
are pretty much the same as those men-
tioned last week. The quality is excel-
lent. There appears to be a shortage of
good whites.

Carnations are still scarce. The qual-
ity of the flowers is improving; so, also,
is the length of stem. Winsor, Beacon,
Enchantress, Eose-pink Enchantress. Bos-
ton Market and Guardian Angel arc
among the better varieties. A noticeable
feature in the rose market is the con-
tinued excess of small roses. Bride,
Bridesmaid and Richmond, of poor qual-
ity and short stem, being enormously
overdone. Killarney is proving a good
warm weather rose. Kaiserins are fine.
Beauties are improving in quality, some
really good specials being offered.

The orchid market has been strength-
ened, Cattleya labiata and oncidiums
being reinforced by dendrobiunis and
fancy cyps. Valley is abundant. Choice
sweet peas have sold well. Some greens
are sold. There is no demand for
cosmos. Summing up, it may bo said

that dahlias. Beauties, Kaiserins, and
valley sell best; that the market is dull,
but that there has been an increase in
the volume of business each week during
the last month over that of the week
preceding. This increase is less notice-
al)le because of a more than correspond-
ing increase in the receipts of flowers,
making prices average low on all but
the best stock.

A Pleasing Idea.

The effort to decorate store windows
in a way that shall be at once novel,
artistic and suggestive of some want
whicii it is designed to satisfy, has rarely
been more successful than is seen in a
window on the south side of Market
street below the Reading terminal this
week. This window is designed to show
a scene in Holland. Beds of blooming
tulips and hyacinths in various colors are
painted in oil in the background. To one
side are kentias, Holland grown ; in front
many, many pairs of Dutch wooden shoes
of various sizes, such as are used by the
bulb growers. These shoes, and also col-
ored glass jars, are filled with hyacinths,
tulips, narcissi, etc., each variety care-
fully labeled and (here the artistic must
give way to the practical) priced. Tlie
whole effect, when lighted by improved
electroliers, is so striking that it was
said the Gimbel brothers had called to
compliment the Henry F. Michell Co. on
the work. The idea was planned and
executed by Philip Freud, and to under-
stand its difficulty, I must add, the twen-
ty-eight pairs of wooden shoes were all
imported from Holland, to say nothing
of the bulbs.

J. J. Habermehrs Sons had the principal
share of this work, which is of special
interest, as it always closely precedes the
active opening of the festive season so
earnestly desired.

Variotu Notes.

William J. Baker is receiving some ex-
ceptionally fine yellow daisies, worthy
of special mention.

H. H. Battles had the decorations for
a large wedding at Mauch Chunk this
week.

•John Berger and William P. Craig
paid a visit to Stockton & Howe, Prince-
ton, X. J., recently. They report that
the place has been practically doubled in
size during the season and that the stock
is in the pink of condition. Bride,
Bridesmaid, Liberty, Beauty and Kich-
mond are, I think, the varieties grown.
The stock is handled by Berger Bros.

B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., has re-

turned from a trip south. He visited
Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Nor-
folk, and the Jamestown exposition. Mr.
Eschner is enthusiastic about Jamestown.
He thinks the exposition well worth a
visit, and would gladly have spent three
or four days there had time permitted.

George A. Strohlein and family have
returned from their trip to Europe.

F. Herbert Steinmetz is building up a
nice business at Eighth and Arch streets.

The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. has
installed a new cash register with the
latest improvements, which Mr. Hayden
says can do everything but speak.

Eugene Bernheimer is receiving fancy
long-stemmed Beauties, in quantity, from
the Florex Gardens.

W. E. McKissick is looking forward to
a prolongation of the aster season. He
is receiving exceptionally fine stock of the
Ostrich Plume variety.

The Leo Niessen Co. reports a slow but

steady improvement in business. The de-
mand for wild smilax is taken for an en-
couraging sign. The company will this
year handle the entire produce of many
of our leading specialists in various lines.

J. Stern & Co. have received fresh im-
portations of fancy baskets this week.

John Mclntyre is first in this market
with chrysanthemums, color yellow.

The dahlia exhibition of the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society was held on
Tuesday and Wednesday in Horticultural
hall. L. K. Peacock, of Atco, N. J., de-
livered an address Tuesday evening,
which was much enjoyed.

W. W. Crawford says that his father's
carnations at Secane are in magnificent
condition this season, a pleasing contrast
to the plants housed last year.

Ralph G. Faust, of the S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co., reports a gratifying increase
in the florists' business as compared with
each month of last season. Phil.

THE BLUE DAISIES.

Blue flowers are always welcome, even
if of small size and more suited for the
rockery than the border, and the globu-
larias meet with favor from the vast
majority of those who see them, not only
because of their color, but also on ac-
count of the pretty globe-shaped flowers.
Some are not too small for the front of
the border, but the majority really look
more at home in the rock garden, where
their neat, daisy-like leaves and their
heads of flower are welcome when they
bloom in summer.

Among the best known is Globularia
vulgaris, a good rock or border plant,
growing from six to twelve inches high,
and giving a plentiful supply of its
bright blue flowers from June to Au-
gust. There is also a scarcer white va-
riety, called Globularia vulgaris alba,
which some admire more than the blue,
probably because it is not so common,
although it can not be called any pret-
tier.

All globularias like a free and open
soil, with some leaf-mold among the
loam, with also a little grit, sharp sand,
and some stones, says a writer in the
Gardeners' Magazine. They must not
be allowed to become too dry in sum-
mer.

A YELLOV-LEAVED ASTER.

Among the Giant Comet asters grown
by Max Kornacker, at Wehrden on the
Weser, Germanj', in 1901, one plant at-
tracted attention by its yellow leafage.
Seed having been saved from" this plant,
it was sown for several years in order
to test its constancy. The yellow color
has remained in the leaves, so that now
90 per cent come true. The leaves of
this variety are said not to burn under
hot sunshine, as is the case with many
variegated ones. The flowers in the
type have remained pure white, and they
are moderately double, so that the long-
stemmed flower is" well adapted for cut-
ting purposes, and the ])lant is excellent
for planting in beds, etc.

CLERODENDRON FALLAX.

The dwarf Clerodendron fallax makes
a fine decorative plant, and provides a
shade of color that is distinct and at-
tractive. Seedlings are preferred by
many growers, and these may possibly
make the best plants, but cuttings will
produce specimens in much less time
than seeds permit. The old plants, after
a slight rest, if placed in a little warmth,
will soon produce cuttings which root
readily in a propagating case with an
intermediate temperature. Sandy loam
and leaf-soil form a good compost, and
with clay to fertilize the soil, when the
plants are growing freely, fine large
heads of flowers may be produced in a
5-inch pot, a size large enough for or-
dinary purposes. AVhen the plants are
raised from cuttings successional batches
may be had throughout the year, if the
stock is large enough. An intermediate
temperature is suitable during the grow-
ing period, and when the flower heads
appear the plants may be removed to
cooler and more airy quarters; a cold-
frame during the summer months will
suit them. When grown in this way the
plants remain in flower for some weeks,
and they stand house decoration well,
and for this purpose are very useful.

Specimens may be grown to carry sev-
eral heads of bloom, and these are useful
when a mass of color is required, but for
light and effective decorations plants
grown with a single head of bloom are
best, and they are more quickly flowered
than those with several heads, says a
writer in a London gardeners' magazine.

In parts of Germany, a condition of
the buds of the lilac has been noticed,
to which has been given the name bud
disease. The cause of the disease has
been determined by Dr. R. Laubert to
be a mite, so minute as not to be visible
to the naked eye, Phytoptus Loewi, one
of the gall-mites which are the causes
of so many diseases and malformations
in plants. This minute creature is im-
pervious to heat and cold, and is capable
of existing in the perfect state through-
out our coldest winters. The likeliest
means for their destruction would be to
apply some kind of wash or powder to
the affected bushes in the second half
of the month of May, when the mite
leaves its place of concealment and is
searching for a new one.

Recent rains in the vicinity of Roch-

The Michigan crop statisticians re-

peas in the state is seventeen bushels per
acre.

Good September corn weather gives
improved prospects for crops of the late
varieties of sweet corn 'growing for
seed.

The sale for pansy seeds has been
exceptionally brisk this year, largely due
to the short crop and the lateness of the
German stock.

The Nebraska vine seed crops have

Weather conditions have been exception-

Cablk reports indicate that the second
week of September was the warmest of
the summer in most European seed-
growing districts.

Truckers in the south, and especially
in the southwest, are calling for seeds
for early winter crops in heavier quan-

It looks as though the European seeds
are likely to be so late that it will occa-

general southern trade opens.

The tomato crop has responded to the
favorable weather and the vines are now
yielding abundantly. Two weeks ago it
looked as though the crop would be very
light.

The Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cam-

the onion crop of the country, places the

month some considerable threshing will
have been done and the growers say that
then will be the time to give definite re-
ports.

George C. Thompson, formerly with
R. & J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, is now
with the H. E. Fiske Seed Co., having
charge of the flower seed and bulb de-
partments.

The high price that the small farmer
is securing for pickles at the different
salting stations will cause him to go in
heavier for pickles next year and the re-
sult will help the seedsmen.

In the canning district of Maryland
the annual glut of tomatoes was on in
full force by September 10 and the pack,
which had looked to be smaller than
usual, now gives promise of meeting
market requirements, although the mar-
ket still is strong.

The crop of onion seed harvested from
the various small plantings throughout
the middle west is reported to be large
for the acreage. It is thought that it
will thresh out heavily and yield a qual-
ity of seed something above the average.
As has been intimated in this column pre-
viously, this addition to the onion seed
crop will cut a considerable figure in mak-
ing up for the California shortages.

Some of the market gardeners in the
vicinity of Chicago are still harvesting
onion sets. The smaller growers this year
appear to be harvesting more sets in pro-
portion to the acreage planted than are
the larger operators. The reason for this
may lie in the fact that the smaller grow-
ers plant their seed thinner, making it go
over more ground. In good years their
product runs too large for good quality,
but they get more quantity. In an oflf
year like the present one, they usually hit
it about right.

VARIETIES OF GARDEN BEANS.

Next to the potato, says W. W. Tracy,
Jr., in the introduction to his latest vol-
ume, American Varieties of Garden
Beans, just published as Bulletin No.
109 of the Bureau of Plant Industry,
U. S. Department of Agriculture, the
bean is by far the most important vege-
table of this country. Being sold in the
United States under more than 400 vari-
etal names and having at least 185 dis-
tinct types, it easily stands first among
vegetables in number of varieties and it
ranks second in the value of the crop pro-
duced. One American seedsman sells
every year more than 24,000 bushels of
seeds of garden varieties alone.

In Bulletins No. 21 and No. 69 of
the Bureau of Plant Industry reference
is made to the increasing number of

vegetable varieties and to the need of
some established standard of excellence
for vegetable types. The present publi-
cation, which is a continuation of the
line of work followed in the bulletins
mentioned, is largely the outgrowth of
variety tests carried on at Washington,
D. C, and in various places in the states
of Connecticut, New York, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Missouri, California and
Washington, says Dr. Galloway, chief of
the Bureau. "Considerable assistance
was obtained by Mr. Tracy from the pub-
lications of the state agricultural experi-
ment stations, and many valuable sug-
gestions were offered by seedsmen and
seed growers, several of whom have re-
viewed the manuscript of this mono-
graph.

"Varieties of garden vegetables are
now in such a confused condition and
reports of vegetable trials generally are
so meager and contradictory that it is
usually quite impossible for any but the
experienced seedsman to determine
whether a vegetable type, unknown to a
particular community, is really a new
type or a sort already cultivated in some

part of the country. Many varieties arc
probably unintentionally renamed, and
much unnecessary experimentation and
comparison are carried on every year
with sorts which are thought to be dis-
tinct, but are really identical."

Seedsmen will find a great deal of both
interest and value in the bulletin, which
is a volume of 160 pages, with twenty-
four plates illustrating side and ventral
view-s of ripe seeds of 112 varieties, cross
sections of thirty-six snap and green shell
pods, two views each of sixty-five varie-
ties and fifteen leaf types. Each of the
five species, into which garden beans
naturally divide, is taken up and the va-
rieties described, with a statement of the
number of seedsmen listing in 1906, a
comparison with similar sorts, synonyms,
history and reference to illustrations in
the bulletin. I]very word is of value as
confirming or extending a seedsman 's
knowledge of his business, and the vol-
ume evidences much painstaking work on
the part of the author. A catalogue of
all variety names in 1906 catalogues is
included, with a few words of descrip-
tion and history. Also there is an * * arti-
ficial key to varieties, ' ' arranged on the
dichotomous system, now largely adopted
by botanists, devised to enable the stu-
dent to determine the variety name of
any bean listed by American seedsmen.

If any seedsman fails to receive a copy
of Bulletin No. 109 he should write to
the U. S. Department of Agriculture for
one. It is wortli careful study and pres-
ervation in a handy place for reference.

ERFURT SEED TRADE.

Though we liave had, on the whole,
better weather since the middle of July,
we want still more sun and warmth for
the maturing of most of our seeds, both
in the vegetable and flowering lines. The
growers all hope for a long and dry au-
tumn, and some of them say, as the first
day of September was a dry and bright
day, we may well look forward to good
weather for the rest of this month. If
this he true, and September proves to be
a sunny and bright montli, things in the
seetl-growing business will change for
the better. August did much for crops,
although the sun did not show itself too
much and the nights were rather cool.
Nevertheless, a good many different

will begin with the vegetable seed crops:
The crop of cauliflower seeds will be
late and very likely good; red and white
cabbage, fairly good, in some places in-
ferior; brussels sprouts, broccoli or kale,
and kohlrabi, bad; carrots, fairly good,
but in some cases bad. Celery plants
wintered in the fields are bad, but the

beets, good. liCttuce got spoiled a lot
by rain, but crop will perhaps be good.
Onions, fairly good; leeks, bad, but in
some places fairly good; radish, good;
cucumbers, undoubtedly bad; melons,
good. Gourds may be good; peas, fair,
and beans at the best only fairly good.

Concerning the flower seed crop, it
may be said that asters will perhaps be
good; Impatiens balsamina, about the
same; summer stocks, fairly good; win-
ter stocks, good; wallflowers, fair; holly-
hocks (Althaea rosea fl. pi.), very bad;
larkspurs, bad; poppy, fairly good;
scabiosa, perhaps good; antirrhinum, the
same; celosia, only medium; dianthus,
perhaps good; lathyrus, only medium;
lobelia, up to now, good; petunias, phlox
and reseda (mignonette), good. Tagetes
suffered much from rain and will only
be medium. Tropa>olum and verbenas,
good; Viola tricolor maxima, medium;
Viola cornuta, good. Bellis wintered all
out, plants started from seed last spring,
promise to be fair or good. Calceolarias,
medium; calliopsis, good; campanula,
fair or good ; centaureas, perhaps good ;
convolvulus and cosmos, medium; elichry-
sum, gaillardias and godetias, perhaps
good; hclianthus, fair; iboris (candy-
tuft), good; iponwas, mimulus and my-
osotis, perhaps good; nicotiana, the
same; senecio, good, and zinnias, perhaps
good.

This is the outlook for jnost things at
present, but it all depends on the
weather. If we get steadily dry and
warm weather, everything may improve;
if, on the other hand, rainy and dull days
set in, the views held at j^resent by our
growers out here may have to be revoked.

GRASS SEED CROPS.

Under date of September 6 A. Le Coq
& Co., Darmstadt, Germany, issue their
annual report on grass seed crops, in
part as follows :

We are sorry to say that it i.s not a pleas-
ant thing this season to report on grass seeds,
as in most cases one has to speak of high
prices and a poor yield. Although we were
already pretty certain that tlie crop would
not be a good one, any favorable expectations
were doomed to disappointment in many cases.
The seed is very (haffy and well cleaned sam-
ples are not to l)o had, unless at lilch prices.
The wages for collecting the seeds have gone
higher, too. and we think It will be Impossible
in the future, even if there is a good crop, to
get our home-growu seeds at the priced we used
to pay in former years.

As regards the various species wo beg to
say that the prosnects for Agrostis stolonlfera.
South German, are not bad and one expects
a good crop as regards (piality as well as <iuan-
tlty; prices for recleaned seed will probably
rule just US high as in former years.

Aira (ai'spltosa lias turned out to be a me-

dium crop and prices will he somewhat higher.
Tlie same refers to .Vlra flexuosa.

The crop of .Vlopecurus pratensis has been
giiod and judging from samples to hand the
(puility seems to be all right, but wild specu-
lation has brought the prices to an enormous
height. There are no old stocks in hand and
this and the Increased demand will send prices
to the extreme.

For some years now we have had a small
cr<;p of .Anthoxantbum odoratum and this year
again we have to report a poor ylelil, but of
trood quality. Prices will be higher.

Bromus Inermis, which is just now coming
In, seems to be of an average crop, but there
Is already a good demand for export trade,
which no doubt will intluence the prices.

The crop of Dactylls gloniernta In New Zea-
land has been a third less than lust year, but
of goo<l <|uallty. We have also reports of a
sn\ill crop in .\merlca and the small cpiantity
saved In (Jerniany has suffert'd from the un-
iHvorable weather during the harvest. A fur-

above the average prices of last year. Al-
though the color has suffered a little by rain,
this has had no influence on the germination
and the seed will be of normal growth.

The crop of Festuca elatior (arundlnacea) Is
about one-third smaller than lOUC and the
<iuallty is light. For reclcaned seed much
higher pricts are asked.

For years past we have not seen such a poor
crop of Festuca ovlna tcnuifolla. The crop of
Festuca heterophllia and Festuca rubra Is again
small.

If one can rely upon the present reports on
English and Italian ryegrasses the crop will
turn out less than last year and somewhat
higher prices will rule.

Owing to disastrous floods in the producing
districts little seed of I'halaris arundlnacea has
been saved.

Poa nenioralis yielded a poor crop.

Poa trivialis is reported to be one-third less
than last year, but the quality appears to be
right.

It Is too early yet to say anything respecting
red clover, but not very favorable are the re-
iwrts on alsyke and yellow trefoil, while white
clover is offered freely but so far we have not
yet seen a nice sample. The crop of sainfoin
looks as if it would turn out well.

Ueports from some sections speak of a small
crop of alfalfa, while others seem to get a
pood crop as regards quality as well as quan-
tity.

INJUNCTION AGAINST BLIGHT.

Judge Memminger, at Charleston, S. C,
lias dissolved tlie temporary injunction is-
sued August 13 against D. T. West, upon
application of M. P. Croghan and other
truck growers, who set up that their cu-
cumbers were ruined by blight carried
through the Avinter iu West's green-
houses, and Mho asked that he be per-
manently enjoined from growing cu-
cumbers in his greenhouses. Two days
were devoted to the presentation of evi-
dence.

Judge Memminger held that no show-
ing had been made which justifies an
injunction to prevent West from plant-
ing, as it had not been demonstrated that
West cannot pay damages, and because
the crops, the damage of which is threat-
ened, do not even exist. He holds also
that blight can be prevented in the green-
house if proper means are employed, and
that the farmers themselves may change
their opinion about the source of the
local blight. His order is of much in-
terest and will be read with close at-
tention. The attorneys of the farmers
who plant in the open and are bringing
the suit declare that they are going to
back their case to the end and are going
to appeal to the higher courts.

Judge Memminger 's order says in
part:

"The plaintiflfs have not received a
judgment at law establishing the exist-
once of defendant's greenhouses as a
nuisance and measuring their damages.

' * There is here a very vague allega-
tion that defendant cannot respond ade-
quately in damages, but no proof what-
soever that he can not. Injury to crops
is capable of compensation in damages,
and is not irreparable, as injury to trees
has so frequently been held to be, and
upon which fact so many injunction
cases in our books are based.

"The crops for which the plaintiffs
arc seeking protection are not in exist-
ence and will not be provided for or
planted until next spring (many months
hence). Plaintiffs arc not, therefore.

This is an example of a balf-tone from one of
our 'wasli-dra'wlnBra— Kets much more detail

presenting to the court any present exist-
ing right in crops planted or growing,
but are seeking this relief tentatively.
In fact, even if the greenhouses are
closed they may yet change their minds
and not be willing to back their present
opinion with risking a crop against the
general blight which progresses each sea-
son from Florida, where it is endemic;
and may not plant such a crop at all,
and the injunction would prove to have
been needlessly obtained. *

"In the meanwhile the defendant, if
not restrained, can have planted and har-
vested his fall crop, and if managed as
it can be, there will be no blight in his
greenhouses when he opens the ventilators
in the spring, and consequently, no dan-
ger to plaintiffs. The showing is abun-
dant that proper spraying and fumigat-
ing will keep the greenhouses free of
blight.

operating it profitably, and as a means
of livelihood. Under the plaintiffs' view
of the case, he must be stopped now

there will then be no blight to be liber-

FORCING RHUBARB.

Will you kindly give directions for
forcing rhubarb in winter under green-
house benches or in cellars? I. E. L.

As dry heat is unsuitable for the
forcing of rhubarb, you will have to
select a bench that h^s no pipes under it.
At least two feet of space will be re-
quired from the top of the crowns to
the bottom of the bench, so it will prob-
ably be necessary to dig out enough
soil unfler the beijch to allow for this
amount of space. Delay the lifting of
the crowns until freezing weather; then
dig up the clumps, leaving all the soil
on them that will adhere. Leave them
on the surface of the ground for two or
three nights, but if the thermometer in-
dicates more than 10 degrees of frost
cover them over so they will not get too
severely frozen.

Place the clumps under the bench just
as close as they will pack; the soil ad-
hering will be all the covering required.
Get some strong burlap or some such
material and make a curtain all around
the bench, so as to keep the whole
thing dark. Sprinkle frequently to keep
moderately moist, but take care not to
overdo it, especially if the soil on the
floor of the house is retentive, as in this
case too much water might lodge around
the roots, seeing that they would be
practically in a pit.

A cellar is a good place for forcing
rhubarb, if it is provided with a means
of heating. Without this, even if the
cellar is frost-proof, growth would be
very slow. The best temperature to main-
tain is from 50 to 55 degrees, starting a
little low at first and increasing as
growth advances.

Fuller directions for the forcing of
rhubarb in cellars were given in the
ReView of August 29, page 34.

RAWSON'S HOTHOUSE
CUCUMBER

As a forcing Cucumber is one of the largest and most
proiitable crops of the Market Gardener, it is essential
•f^t the very best possible strain should be sown.
With this idea in view we have made selections for the
past few years from our Rawson's White Spine, which
have resulted in a strain about two inclies longer and
a darker green in color, with a few light spines showing
at blossom end. This new strain we confidently
believe to be superior to any other on the market.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

September 19, 1907.

DETROIT.

The Market.

We have been having our Indian siun-
nior and it is probably for that reason
tliat business has not picked up as it
should this season of the year. Still, in-
dications are that before long things will
he rushing again. Many people are drop-
ping in to make inquiries in regard to
j)rifes Tor wedding decorations, and one
or the other of the florists will surely get
these jobs. Funeral work, also, seems to
be be^x>ming more plentiful.

The condition of the market remains
about the same. About the best thing in
roses is Kaiserin and Killarney — for
those fortunate enough to have some.
The La Detroits on this market at pres-
ent are badly affected with mildew ; so
much so tliat the foliage is next to use-
less. Carnations are coming along nicely.
Some fairly good ones are arriving daily.
The white are still small, but Enchantress,
rose-pink PJnchantress and Lawson are
of j>retty good size. Asters are arriving
in altogether too large quantities for the
good of the growers. Many hundreds
nuist find their way to the waste pile.
Even the white ones are overplentiful.

Varioui Notes.

J. F. Sullivan is still at large. His es-
tablishment is cutting daily a large num-
ber of fine Killarney ros^s, which come
handy.

Mr. Dykes has just passed through De-
troit and reports business as being good.
Not only is his business prosperous, but
tiie florists all along the line, he says,
liad a good summer season.

B. Schroeter has just completed a new
front on his store. Tliis gives him much
more window sj)ace, as well as light in
the store.

There is much complaint among the
retailers of this city against the lateness
of the arrival of the Mount Clemens cut.
As this usually does not arrive until
about 11:30, it puts the store men to
nuich inconvenience, as well as making
many disappointed customers. About
two-thirds of the retailers rely on these
shipments for their day's supply and the
better part of the day is wasted before
stock arrives.

Our friend, Robert Watson, is in hard
luck. A contractor who built a cellar
for him, and has already received his
check from Mr. Watson, failed to pay
for the brick used and now the company
supplying the brick has put a lien on Mr.
Watson's property for something like
•tS"). In other words, Mr. Watson will
have to pay for the bricks twice.

IT DID THE VORK.

We potted up about 6,000 4-inch gera-
niums as a surplus over the needs of
our retail trade to try the Eeview and
see if it would sell some for us. We
sent in a small advertisement and in
five weeks we were sold out and re-
ceived orders for 1,000 more than we
had. We sent money back to eight dif-
ferent states. When a man gets his of-
fer into the classified department of the
Review he wants to be careful or his
stock will all be sold and he will have
nothing left but empty houses to take
care of. The Review is worth dollars

want to; it is true. Ragan Bros.

IT DID THE WORK.

We iKittcd up about G,000 4-ineh gera-
niums as a surplus over the needs of
(lur retail trade to try the Keview and
pee if it would sell some for us. We
sent in a small advertisement and ia
five weeks we were sold out and re-
ceived orders for 1,000 more than we
had. We sent money back to eight dif-
ferent states. When a man gets his of-
fer into the classified department of the
Review he wants to be careful or his
stock will nil be solil ami ho will have
nothing: left but emjity luni.ses to take
care of. The Review is worth dollars
a year, instead of $1, to any one in the
business. You can use this letter if you
want to; it is true. Um.as Bkos.

The Review will send Smith's Mum

Sealer, RocDester; Treas., C. L. Yatea. Bocheater.
The 88d annual conventlou will be helu at Mil-
waukee, June, IU08.

Work for better stock and better
prices, not for increased production, low
quality and cheap sales.

The dry weather in tlie east has not
helped the nurserymen to get a good
season's growth. Western New York
has had a summer of drought.

The Apple Shippers' Association finds
that the apple crop east of the Missis-
sippi will be considerably larger this year
than last, but in the west it will be
much lighter. Missouri, the home of the
Ben Davis, has but fifteen per cent of
last year's crop.

The American Pomological Society
will meet at the Jamestown exposition
September 24 to 26. C. L. Watrous, J.
W. Kerr, P. J. Berckmans and one or
two other nurserymen have places on the
program, but most of the papers are by
the pomological experts of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture and the state ex-
periment stations.

William A. Peterson, proprietor of
the Peterson Nursery, Chicago, says that
Mme. de Verneville is, in his opinion,
one of the most wonderful of peonies
and that it is not yet recognized at any-
where its true wortl^ by the trade in this
country, although in Europe it is held
at good prices and only small quantities
are to be obtained. It is white, full
petaled and incurved. It is one of the
best keepers as a cut flower and ex-
tremely fragrant.

BERBERIS THUNBERGII.

Hedges of California privet were so
badly injured — in fact, frozen to the
ground in many sections — last winter,
that it is desirable to know what will
take its place as an ornamental hedge
plant. Berberis Thunbergii stood the
winter just alongside hedges of privet
and was not injured. Can Berberis Thun-
bergii be planted successfully in the fall,
and if so, about what time!

W. H. H. R.

In answer to the above query, I would
say that I have seen hundreds of Berberis
Tliunbergii planted in the middle of June
to replace the same number of plants
which for some mysterious reason failed
to survive the previous winter. There
were few deaths among those planted
at the time mentioned. Berberis Thun-
bergii can be successfully transplanted in
the fall and the work of planting may be
done any time from the latter part of
September till frost sets in. Spring is,
however, the best time of the year for
the transplanting of Berberis Thunbergii,
because there is less likelihood of the loss
of the plants than from fall trans-
planting. R. R.

LITTLE THINGS WORTH KNOWING

FALL TRANSPLANTING OF TREES.

TTie recent heavy rains in many parts
of the country benefited nurserymen im-
mensely. The soil will now, where such
rains occurred, be in good condition for
the planting of evergreens, and if the
work of transplanting was deferred, it
should now be pushed steadily until ev-
ery one that will be benefited by moving
is set out. Although it is a distinct ad-
vantage to have as much soil adhere to
the roots of evergreens as possible while
moving them, it is not a necessity, es-
pecially in the case of small stock, but
if young trees are moved now without
soil adhering to the roots, and the soil
into which they are set is dry, it will be
absolutely necessary to water after they
are planted, in the event of no immediate
prospect of rain.

Apart from the time gained by trans-
planting trees in the fall, it will be
found that the work can be carried on
much more expeditiously then than in
the spring, and that for various reasons.
In the spring most nurserymen are so
busily engaged in the shipping of stock
that the work of transplanting is very
apt to be more or less neglected.

I do not think it is desirable to trans-
plant deciduous trees without balls of
earth adhering to the roots late in the
fall, particularly if the ground where
they are intended to be planted is not
well drained, but I think that such trees
succeed fully as well when moved during
the latter part of September and up to
the middle of October as when trans-
planted in spring. In moving deciduous
trees it is very important, at any time of
the year, that every root broken or in-
jured be cleanly cut with a sharp knife
or pruning shears, in order that, instead
of such roots decaying in consequence of
the injury, they will send out fresh roots,
which will immediately do service in
the sustaining and feeding of the tree.
Another very important point is to
spread the roots straight from the trunk

Professor Baker was the first instructor

uates have passed the civil service ex-
amination for positions in the United
States forest service in competition with
the graduates of the Yale Forest School
rind other leading institutions.

Professor Baker says he likes the spirit
of the west and greatly regrets to sever
his connections with the work at Ames,
but feels that the large forestry interests
of Pennsylvania offer a wider field for
labor. The new position also means an
increase in salary from $1,800 to $2,500
per year to start with and a liberal ap-
propriation for forestry investigations.

Spokane, Wash. — Miss Amy. Luff-

runaway early in August, is only now
able to be out. Her mother, who was
with her at the time of the accident,
was less seriously injured.

San Rafael, Cal. — Premium lists have
been issued of the first annual flower
show of the Marin County Horticultural
Society, to be held in Armory hall, iu this
place, Saturday, October 26. Further in-
formation may be obtained by addressing

Santa Cruz, Cal. — George W. Strea-
tor is carrying on some interesting work
here in plant breeding. He came here
from Ohio only a few years ago, but al-
ready has four acres of land planted to
choice things and a host of seedlings
coming on from crosses made since his
arrival. He is working in both orna-
mental and economic plants, including
phloxes, gladioli, roses, strawberries, corn,
potatoes and a host of others. This sec-
tion enjoyed a fall of rain sufficient to
wet the ground to a depth of nearly two
inches September 3. Last year the first
winter rain came in November.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Flowers are not plentiful at present.
The asters have almost passed out for
this season and chrysanthemums are not
yet in their prime. A few early white
and yellow sorts are in market, but we
can not expect a great quantity of them
for several days yet. Roses are as scarce
as they have been at any time this sea-
son, although several growers are cut-
ting a few Beauties and some fair
Brides and Maids are seen. Carnations
are a little more plentiful than they
have been. There are a good many
short-stemmed flowers from the recently
planted stock, but in a couple of weeks
they will have disappeared. Sweet peas
from most of the growers are getting
very short-stemmed, and are of little use
except in funeral work. Violets have
made their appearance, but are not in
great demand thus far. They are weak
and poor colored and need a few showers
to put the proper stiffness in the stems.
They cost the stores $1.50 per dozen
bunches, each bunch containing about
fifty blooms. Japanese lilies are getting
scarcer and are in good demand. They
have been good paying propositions with
all the growers this season. Late flow-
ered amarvllis are in full bloom, and in
good demand. They are much better
sellers than any of the early sorts. Glad-
ioli are getting scarcer and, except for
a few weeks at the commencement of
their season, they have not sold very well
and have found little usage, except to be
left in the shop windows as a decora-
tion.

Various Notes.

Considerable complaint has been reg-
istered by the residents of Berkeley
about the thefts of plants, both from
commercial and private places. H. M.
Sanborn had a bay tree valued at $25
stolen from in front of his Telegraph
avenue store during the present week.

the agency for the Garden City Pottery
Works, of San Jose.

The American Florists are almost
ready to move into their new building,
situated two doors above the old location
on Polk street. This vicinity is rapidly
becoming one of the flower centers of
the town.

Golden Gate park, under the guiding
hand of John McLaren and his assist-
ants, is rapidly regaining its former
beauty after a hard siege with several
thousand refugees who were encamped
on its lawns for many months. Several
of the city parks also fared in the same
way, but now things are assuming their
normal shape aeain.

The Chiaese'^ster growers complain
that this season has not been a profit-
able one with them. Owing to the
changed conditions of the town they
have had to market much of their stock
in Oakland and other near-by towns, so
the extra cost in marketing them, to-
gether with the low prices received, has
left but little to put on the credit side.

FICUS IN CALIFORNIA.

Tlu're are at least ten varieties of
ficus that are hardy in central and south-
ern California, and they are of such
graceful growth and effective appearance
that they should be more generally
planted than at present, but, owing to
the fact that but one or two species are
known to the general public, their scarce-
ness is easily accounted for.

The best known variety is the Fious
flastica. It grows to a height of from
thirty to forty feet and makes a good,
rugged tree in a few years. It is not
(juite so hardy as the F. macrophylla.
which', although not in such favor as a
pot or house plant, is more desirable
when planted outside. It is more grace-
ful, has more foliage, grows faster and
can be transplanted with greater safety.
The first variety mentioned has very
leathery leaves, stands considerable
rough usage and will grow in any ordi-
nary temperature, all of which qualities
are greatly in its favor.

Of the other kinds, F. princeps, a na-
tive of Brazil, is one of the most beauti-
ful varieties known. It was originally
not supposed to be hardy, but several
years' trial show it will grow wLere the

other sorts will. It is not of a rapid
growth, but has magnificent foliage,
which affects a l)eantitul bronzo shade
when young. Quite the opposite is F.
retusa, which is also very hardy, but has
small, dark leaves of a shining green
color, which are closely set along the
branches. It makes an excellent side-
walk tree and, like all the othei"s, revels
in plenty of moisture.

The F. religiosa is a rapid grower and
has peculiar, long-petioled leaves, whidi
sway and shiver in every passing breeze
in a very characteristic manner. The
leaves are also of a dark, shining na-
ture, and this is one of the prettiest of
the family. The tree is sacred to the
Hindoos and has proven hardy here.

The varieties already mentioned do
not display the habits so characteristic
of ficus regarding aerial roots and can
easily be kept to a single stem. F. ru-
higinosa, however, is on the line between
these and the banyan trees and emits
roots very freely far up the main stem.
The leaves are thick, coriaceous, rather
small and covered with a rusty tomen-
tum underneath. It adapts itself fairly
well to dry locations and is a very effec-
tive tree.

The F. Benghalensis is the true ban-
yan tree of India and, when it attains
a considerable size, its habit of sending
down aerial roots from its branches and
forming new tninks from them is well
known. This is not so noticeable if the
trees are grown in situations that are
not warm and moist, although this va-
riety is hardy with us. The leaves are
broadly oval, coriaceous, with proini-

nent veins and of a beautiful coppery
color, more pronounced in the young
leaves. The F. Indica is also one of
the varieties of banyan, but is of much
less robust growth and the leaves and
fruits are much smaller.

It was thought for several years that
the climate of California did not favor
the development of fruit on the varieties
of ficus mentioned, but it is evident now
that the only trouble has been that the
trees had not arrived at a bearing age,
as all the kinds grown here have com-
menced to mature 8e6d recently, which
grows very easily and quickly and makes
strong, hardy plants in a very short
time. G.

INDIANAPOLIS.

Qub Meeting.

The liuliaimpolis Florists' Club, which
Avas jiartly organized a month ago, met
on the evening of September 11 at the
office of A. Wiegaud & Sons. There was
a good attendance and fifty names were
entered for membership. The fine spirit
shown at this meeting sj)eaks well for
the future of the club. It is a purely
social clul) and the members all look for-
ward to many ])leasant nights this win-
ter. Bowling will be the chief amuse-
ment. Officers were elected foT the en-
suing year, as follows: President. F.
Sydney Smith ; vice-president, Fred lluk-
riede; secretary, E. H. Sellars; treasurer,
Ernest Kieman; sergeant-at-arms, Geo.
Wiegand.

The State Fair.

The state fair was held September 9
to 13 and was a great success in every
way. The floral exhibits were good in
all the classes for plants. E. A. Nelson
made a clean sweep in the other classes.
Tlie awards were as follows:

Two baskets, J. A. Eieman, first; E.
A. Nelson, second. Two floral pieces,
J. A. Rieman, first; E. A. Nelson, sec-
ond. Collection of roses, E. A. Nelson.
Collection of -cut flowers, E. A. Nelson.
Collection of gladioli, Wm. Hack, first;
E. A. Nelson, second. Three bouquets,
E. A. Nelson.

Original design — J. A. Bieman and
E. A. Nelson tied in this class. Twc^
splendid pieces of work were put up
and it took the judge a long time to
make his decision. Geo. Stellhorn offi-
ciated as judge.

There was also a fine exhibit of dah-
lias by E, T. Barnes, of Spencer, Ind.,
which attracted much attention.

Various Notes.

Bertermann Bros, will have an ex-
tensive display of dahUas in their store
September 26. They hope to have about
500 different varieties. This will be the
most extensive display of this flower ever
seen in the city.

Everyone is hustling around putting
things in shape for cooler weather.

Baur & Smith have finished the glazing
of their new addition. All their carna-
tion plants are looking extra well. The
experiment of planting with no shade
on the glass seems to have turned out
well.

The Smith & Young Co., of Cumber-
land, Ind., is cutting some extra fine
roses for this time of year. Besides sup-
plying the local demand, the firm docs a
good shipping business. S.

SARAH BILL

The largest free-flowering white
carnation ever produced; the
form is beautiful and displays the
size to the very best advantage;
color very pure; texture excellent;
stem extra long at all times of the
year; a startling novelty, produc-
ing flowers with great freedom.
Grandest novelty for 1908.

Lawson-Enchantress or

SUPERIOR

At last we can give you Enchan-
tress with Lawson color. This is
not a sport from Enchantress, but
a seedling, but it resembles En-
chantress in every respect. Guar-
anteed to be as we represent it.
Every one who grows Lawson or
Enchantress will want to grow
this variety. Early delivery as yet.

Either variety at $12.00 per
100; $100.00 per 1000.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

The last lew days of last week showed
quite an increase in business. The de-
mand for all kinds of flowers was much
greater and the prices made a decided ad-
vance. While the demand was greater, the
one thing that helped more than anything
else was that there was a decrease in
the supply of good stock. Good and
medium grade asters are now selling well,
though the poorer grades move slowly.
The cool nights have made a decided im-
provement in the quality of the roses.
Brides are especially in good demand,
witii American Beauties a close second,
("arnations are becoming more plentiful
and are selling well. Dahlias and gladi-
oli are in better demand. Lilies of all
varieties are good property, and tuberose
spikes are selling well. Some fine Ifly
of the valley, grown by George & Allan,
reached the market last week and it sold
out on sight at a good price.

Various Notes.

Some one tried to force an entrance
during the night into L. H. Kyrk's
Avholesale house. The would-be robber
tried to force the door and then broke a
window, but was unable to gain an en-
trance.

Frank Huntsman has not been well this
summer and it is hoped tiiat the cooler
weather will benefit him. He sent a
seedling carnation in from his green-
houses the other day. It had bloomed
in the field and it was a monster. The
color was white and it had a long, fine
stem and extra good fragrance. Tf it
does as well on being housed, it will be
a fine thing.

Gus Brunner and wife have returned
from a trip in northern Michigan. Mr.
Brunner is one of the unfortunate hay-
fever victims and he had not been back
an hour until it attacked him again.

Wei land & Olinger have increased tlie
floor sjiace of their wholesale house by
renting an adjoining store, which they
are now fitting up in time for the fall
business.

David Knott, manager of the city
greeiiiiouses, reports that they are in tlie
best of shape for tlie fall. The mums
are doing extra well and. with the num-
ber of varieties that they are growing, a
very creditable showing Avill be made,
which, of course, is for tlie benefit of the
jiublic.

K. G. Gillett expects to receive his
first shipments of mums about September
2."). The varieties will be Polly Kose and
Glory of the Pacific. Several large or-
ders have already been booked.

C. J. Ohmer.

C. J. Ohmer left September I'y for San
Diego, Cal., where he and Miss Alice E.
French, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. James
M. French, will l)e married September 2.").

DENVER.

The Market.

Since last writing business li:is shown
improvement. The weather has cooled
off to some extent, so that the effect has
been good. However, it is yet a little
early for continued cool weather, and
some of the aster growers apparently
are afraid of frost by the way they are
sending them in. There is certainly no
shortage. Roses continue to improve.
Brides and Maids are in good cut at
present, and quality excellent for so
early in the season. Beauties are not
any too plentiful; if anything, a little
scarce; quality fair. There is a strong
call for medium lengths, of which there
are about enough to supply the demand.
Carnations are not coming in fast,
though there are a few, and by the end
of this month they will arrive in force.
The plants never looked better, which is
a good indication of a heavy crop.

Various Notes.

One of the largest funerals ever held
in Denver vias that of W. B. Ftlke, the
victim of automobile races on J^abor
day. It took five carriages to bear the
flowers to the grave, the floral offerings
being among the most numerous evt-r
seen in Denver. A private watchman
was left to guard the blossoms at the
grave, that they might not be destroyed
by vandals.

Among our recent visitors were Emil
Buettner and party, of Park Ridge, III.,
who are traveling in a special car ou
their return from Yellowstone park.
They were shown around our city by J.
A. Valentine, and were delighted with it.

The Florists' Bowling League met last
•week and reorganized for the winter,
electing J. A. Valentine president and
G. H. Cooper secretary. They expect to
bowl at the Overland alleys every Mon-
day evening.

John Berry, of Colorado Springs, was
a visitor September 13.

J. A. Valentine and 0. X. Benson left
September 16 for a fishing trip on the
Gunnison river.

The Colorado State Fair, just closed
at Pueblo, was one of the most success-
ful ever held. The floricultural depart-
ment was especially good, being under
the competent supervision of John Ber-
ry, superintendent. The exhibitors froni
Denver were the Park Floral Co. and
W, W. Wilmore, the dahlia specialist;
also Harry Berrv', in the amateur class.
The Park Floral Co. took all the first
premiums on plants and flowers, with
one exception, also all first premiums on
bouquets, designs and mantel decora-
tions, and second premium on table dec-
orations. Mr. Wilmore took first on
dahlias. Harry Berry, in the amateur
class, took five firsts and two seconds on
gladioli, phlox and perennials.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

Septembeb 19, 1907.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

The Florists' Qob.

The Springfield Florists' Club is just
completing the first year of its existence,
during which the members have become
better acquainted, and it is generally
conceded that the frequent intermingling
has created a better understanding of
the mutual needs and aims of the several
lines represented.

At the monthly meeting, held Septem-
ber 9, officers to serve for the coming
year were elected as follows : President,
George H. Mellen, president of the Geo.
H. Mellen Co.; vice-president, Charles
W. Schmidt, of Schmidt & Botley; sec-
retary, George D. Leedle, secretary of
the Leedle Floral Co.; treasurer, Leman
Bradford, secretary of the Springfield
Floral Co.

These officers will assume their duties
at the first annual meeting in October,
at which time the standing committees
will be announced by the president-elect.

Various Notes.

Harry Eeeser is the proud father of a
first heir and is trying to figure out
which demands the more attention — a
babe or a greenhouse.

Gus Schneider, superintendent of the
Springfield Floral Co., recently wel-
comed a new florist as a first addition to
,hi8 family, and to make sure of the fu-
ture occupation of the little one is
erecting a small greenhouse on his resi-
dence lot, in which carnations, etc., will
be grown for the local cut flower mar-
ket. G- Dale.

GLEN COVE, N. Y.

At the regular meeting of the Nas-
sau County Horticultural Society, Sep-
tember 11, there waa a small attendance
on account of bad weather. The ex-
hibits, however, were excellent and hon-
orable mention was accorded the fol-
lowing:

Lilies, A. McKenzie; smilax and gladi-
oli, A. Janecke; roses, W. Eccles; large
tomatoes, John Dromboskie; snap beans,
V. Cleres; Asparagus Sprengeri, H.
Matz.

Judges were appointed for the fall
exhibition as follows: James Ballan-
tyne, of Tarrytown; A. Schultheis, of
College Point, and Peter Duff, of Or-
ange, N. J. The dates for the fall show
were changed on account of the New
York show to November 5, 6 and 7.

At the next meeting, October 9, there
is to be a special exhibit of dahlias.

Greenhoose Heating.

HEAT FOR FOUR HOUSES.

We are erecting a range of green-
houses, four in number, for vegetables.
One of them is 36x100 feet, and the other
three are each 28x100. They measure
five feet to the gutters and twelve feet
to the ridges. They are all connected
and have glass gables at one end. All
solid benches. We should like to know
how much piping will be required for hot
water, to heat to GO degrees here, in
Kansas, with the weather sometimes get-
ting as cold as 15 degrees below zero.
Could all the piping be overhead and pro-
duce as good results as when the flows
are overhead and the returns near the
ground? S. B.

Your houses can be heated by placing
a part of the radiation on the side walls,
and a part over the benches, or on the
supporting posts. If lettuce is to be the
crop chiefly grown, this arrangement wiir
be quite satisfactory. The pipes above
the benches should be about eighteen
inches or twenty inches above the surface
of the soil. The four houses, if piped
with 2-inch pipe, will require fifty-five
lines of pipe, eighteen in the 36-foot
house, twelve in each of the two protected
houses and thirteen in the exposed 28-foot
house. A 3-inch flow in each house will
be large enough to supply the radiation
for each, if water under pressure is used.

A good plan would be to carry an inde-
pendent 3-inch flow under the ridge of
each house and return through the speci-
fied number of 2-inch pipes in each build-
ing. To balance things up a little, it
would be better to use a 3% -inch flow in
the 36-foot house, connect the expansion
tank to the main return close to the boiler
and elevate it twenty feet or more if
possible. L- C. C.

GRAND RAPIDS.

West Michigan State Fair.

Wet, raw weather, necessitating night
firing to keep mildew off the roses, is the
kind we have had the past couple of
weeks. Last week, while the West Mich-
igan Fair was in progress here, it rained
the first part of the week, including
Wednesday, the usual big day, and a
financial failure seemed to be in pros-
pect, but clearing and warmer weather
Thursday brought out a record-breaking
crowd, insuring the management against
loss. The fioral display was ahead of
previous years. There were three ex-
hibitors, the Grand Rapids Floral Co.,
Crabb & Hunter and Charles Chadwick.
Eli Cross made the entries, but for some
reason did not exhibit.

The floral designs were large and well
made. Crabb & Hunter had a broken
wheel, made of roses, rubrum lilies and
swainsona. It took first premium.
Charles Chadwick had a 5-foot crescent
and lyre on a stand, the lyre filled solid
with pink roses, the crescent with roses

to the limited demand. Lilies are plen-

As to asters, they are in oversupply
and of good quality. Gladioli, dahlias,

The prospects for a good carnation
crop this winter are fine, as the plants
in the bench are the firmest, bushiest,
best all-around stock that has been
planted in years. Even the plants left

Current G}minent.

Business has taken a new lease on life.
Besides the unusual amount of funeral
work, cut stuff is selling well and the
wedding season has started off fine. At
Gude's three decorations are booked for
the coming week. The funeral this week
of Colonel Fleming, an old resident,
«alled for a great many large and elab-
orate pieces. All the stores had some.

The plant of the Washington Florists
Co., at Alexandria, Va., is looking fine;
everything is at its best. H. P. Dorsett,
formerly of the Agricultural Depart-
ment, is in charge of the place.

There is some talk of the florists
going to the Jamestown fair as a club.

A worm, all colors of the rainbow,
from half an inch to two inches in
length, has damaged thousands of dol-
lars' worth of ferns in Anacostia, D. C.
It thrives on the remedies that will de-
stroy other pests. The Agricultural De-
partment has promised to send an expert
over to see what can bo done. In a very
short time the worms make a fern house
look as if visited by a hail storm.

The Market.

We can truthfully say that business
has increased the last two weeks and
bids fair for a good fall trade.

Bed roses and Beauties are selling
ahead of the other stock, but what there
is all seems to go, except the asters.
Asters are always a drag, on account of
the many shorts which come in. Asters
have been very good of late, but heavy
rains have put a damper on the good
stock. Gladioli have found a ready sale
eath day and quantities have been sold.
All the colors seem to go alike, no spe-
cial color getting the call.

The first violets of the season were
seen last week, but violets at this season
are not what they are in winter, for they
are small, of poor color and in little
demand.

^Thc Weekly Florists^ Review* 3

EARLY VARIETIES.

The grower who has many early vari-
eties planted is now praying for an early
frost. The eastern markets at present
are filled with asters, dahlias and such
outdoor flowers, and while one grower
confesses to having received $6 per dozen
for Montmort last week, it is a safe bet
that the quantity marketed was limited.
Aside from the novelty of the thing, the
demand for chrysanthemum flowers in
September is limited until some fine
morning a killing frost sweeps the mar-
ket almost bare of stock; then the buyer
gets hungry and the mum once more
comes into its own. We usually look for
a frost in the . vicinity of New York
around September 25, and when we get
it, as we did last year, the man with the
early varieties reaps his reward. When
we do not get it, and the mum has to
meet the aster and dahlia competition
till well into October, the prices received
are not particularly alluring.

Monrovia and Montmort are now in
shape to cut at almost any time, and
Pacific and Polly Rose are close behind.
Before we know it, almost, we will bo
once more in the thick of the fray. Two
other varieties that are not grown so
much as they might be for early flowers
;ire Mrs. T. W. Pockett and October
Sunshine. They can both be got in by
the first week in October if handled on
the early bud and will come as large
again as Monrovia.

October Sunshine is very susceptible
to spider and should be closely watched
when the bud is swelling, but in this
respect it does not differ from Jeanne
Nonin, W. Wells or several other vari
eties. Why spider should find an affinity
in certain varieties more than in others,
no one appears iable to say, but often T
think the grower can find the reason in
his own carelessness. Some varieties
have a habit of curling their leaves in-
wards, and it is very hard to keep the
underside of those leaves free from spi-
der. A superficial spraying never touches
them, ami before one knows it the spi-
der has woven webs all over the bud ami
the flower never develops as it should.

The early kinds — in fact, chrysanthe-
mums generally — are looking in first-class
shape this year, and if the fall fogs only
keep away we should see some fine stock
at the shows. It is years since I have
seen benches so uniformly even and good.

Cultural Notes.

Be careful in spraying now, as the
buds are swelling rapidly on the mid-
season kinds. So long as the husky cov-
ering is unbroken, water does not harm
the bud, but when the petals begin to
show in embryo, do not let any more
water near the bud if you can help it.
The petals forming first on the outside
make a receptacle in the center that
holds the water, and the consequence is
that the bud rots and tiie labor of months
is lost. Some kinds, owing to the shape
of the bud, will hold water more than
others, and among them I would include
white and yellow Eaton, white and pink
Duckham, E. J. Brooks, President Viger
and Rose Lawrence. Drip from the ven-

tilating sash and leaks in the house cause
more loss of buds than the careless
grower has any idea of.

As the nights run cool and the ther-
mometer outdoors runs down near the
freezing point, it is sometimes necessary
to run a crack of heat through the house.
The thermometer should not be allowed
to run below 45 degrees and it is not wise
to close the house tight to keep the tem-
perature up to the desired mark. Run
a little heat through the house and keep
the ventilators open several inches. This
will give a dry atmosphere, just what the
opening buds require. A damp, clammy
atmosphere is above all things to be
avoided.

Do not, in using heat, however, go to
the other extreme and use too much. It
is sometimes a temptation, if one has a
good bench of early flowers that could
be sold at a good figure if they were
open, to run the house warm and push
them along. The chrysanthemum re-
fuses absolutely to bo forced, I have
experimented with batches of plants in
night temperatures from 60 to 70 degrees
and the flowers would open first in the
cool, airy temperature, running 45 to 50
degrees at night.

Chrysanthemum weather is cool nights
and clear, crisp days, and when we get
these one can almost see the flowers de-
velop. Charles H. Totty.

PRIMULA POISONING.

Several subscribers having recently
written as to having been poisoned by
handling Primula obconica, we reprint
herewith notes as to remedies which have
been published when the questioti has
previously been under discussion.

One reader writes: "As to a remedy
for poisoning by Primula obconica,
would say I have been poisoned several
times. I used Luytie's Pinus ointment
as a local application and sulphur and
cream of tartar to purify the blood. I
used one-third cream of tartar and two-
thirds sulphur, mixed well. Dose, one
teaspoonful every morning in milk. Also
take good nourishment. I have never
known it to fail,"

Another says : ' ' Tell the sufferer to
try good thick sweet cream well and fre-
quently rubbed on as a lotion. This has
with us proved a sovereign remedy,"

A Connecticut reader writes: "It
seems to me that the action of Primula
obconica poisoning is similar to that of
the poison ivy. The cure in both cases,
as far as my experience goes, is a free
application of tincture of blood-root.
Apply the tincture with a sponge or
clean cloth to the parts affected. I have
known of several cures by this tincture
where the poisoning has been caused by
either the ivy or the primula. ' '

"A few applications of peroxide of
hydrogen gave me relief," writes a
Pennsylvanian.

An alcohol solution of sugar of lead
is recommended by the Department of
Agriculture as an antidote for rhus poi-
soning. It will probably cure primula
poisoning as well. An application of the
juice of Impatiens fulva is said to cure
rhus poisoning.

ROSES FOR TEXAS.

Please tell me what varieties of roses,
including all colors, will be best adapted
to growing under glass in Texas. Would
grafted or own-root stock give a beginner
at rose-growing the better results?

Texas.

The most profitable and easily man-
aged roses for culture under glass for a
beginner are, for white. Bride and Ivory ;
for pink. Bridesmaid and Mme. Abel
Chatenay, and for light pink. Golden
Gate, For red there is no rose at pres-
ent under cultivation which has proved
so accommodating to culture under glass
as Richmond, This is as easily handled
as Bride or Bridesmaid and does well

at the same temperature and under the
same conditions. It may not be quite
so vivid in color as Liberty, but when
well grown it is hard to detect the dif
ference.

As to the merits of grafted stock over
own-root stock, it entirely depends on the
condition of soil and climate. When
the soil is a heavy, loamy clay, requiring
a small amount of feeding during the
winter, own-root stock thrives well and
produces crops in paying quantities and
of first-class quality. Where the soil is
of a poor quality, requiring heavy feed-
ing during winter, grafted stock would
bo the most profitable, for the reason
that the Manetti stock possesses more
fibrous roots, which cover a larger area
and are more active and vigorous than
stock on its own roots and can conse-
quently handle more artificial food. It is
a wise plan to try both kinds of stock
side by side where conditions are equal
before discarding own-root stock,

A GARDEN SHOP.

Wiljiam Watsou & Sons, Dublin,
have recently opened a new store Avhich
is in line with the most advanced ideas
of retail store arrangement, but accord-
ing to the Irish Times: "Messrs. Wat-
sons' new shop is quite unique so far as
Dublin is concerned. In fact, 'shop'
becomes a misnomer, for in the absence
of counters and their usual associations,
these premises would better be described
as a large floral room^ with artistic
garden furniture shadowed by spread-
ing palms. They are most aesthetically
arranged, with a trellis work screen di-
viding the premises into two parts, and
the marble fountain which plays in the
center of this fragrant place heightens
the sensation of constant freshness which
pervades it."

HART'S HANDY HANDLE,

One of the most attractive novelties at
the Philadelphia convention of the S. A.
F. last month was a device designated as
Hart's Handy Handle. That the judges
took the same view of it as did the trade
in general was shown by the fact that
it received the only certificate of merit
granted to an exhibit in the supply de-
{)artment, there being only three certifi-
cates granted in tlie whole great trade
exhibition. The retailers were CHpecially
impressed with the device, for it appeals
directly to the man who lias to decorate
a large number of plants and do it in
a short time. The handle is designed for
use with an ordinary flower pot, by its
mere attachment converting the pot into
a basket. The accompanying illustrations
show such a transformation. The small-
er cut shows a Crimson Kand)ler rose in
a i)0t decorated with dark green crepe
paper and tied with ribbon. The other
illustration shows the same plant with
the handle attached to the pot and deco-
rated with a spray of Criiu-ion Rambler
and a ribbon. The handle closer over the
edge of the pot and grasps it below the
collar, is quickly adjusted, and the heav-
ier the plant the tighter tlu- clutch.

The device is the inven ion of (Joorge
R. Hart, of Rochester, and was used last
spring by several of the Rochester re-
tailers. Salter Bros, say tlicy used sev-
eral hundred of them on azaleas, rose
plants, etc., and found t'ley sold well,
the expense being much less than in the
use of baskets. H. K. Wilson says he
found the use of the handle, with a little
I'hiff'on or ribbon, increased the value of
the jdants from fifty to 100 por cent. Mr.
Hart has patented the device and is pre-
paring to put it on tlie market through
the supj)ly houses.

THE NEWPORT EXHIBITION.

The autumn exhibition of the New
l»ort Horticultural Society was held in
Masonic hall, Newport, R. I., September
17 to 19. It was expected that this
would have been a good show, but no
one had anv idea that it would turn out

to be such a tremendous success as it
proved to be. The classes, which were
unusually numerous, were nearly all filled,
while in a number there were as many
as twelve entries. The exliibits were al-
most without exception of unusual excel-
lence. This autumn show is still much of
a dahlia display, but this year the ex-
traordinary interest taken in exhibits of
plants and other cut flowers, while de-
tracting nothing from the magnificence
of the disjday of dahlias, rendered the
latter a somewhat less predominating
feature than in recent years.

Dahlia growers of the commercial class
from Newport and other localities exhib-
ited in large numbers, prominent among
them being W. W. Rawson & Co., of Bos-
ton; H. F. Burt, Taunton; W. 1). Hatha-
way, New Bedford; Mrs. H. A. Jahn,
New Bedford; William F. Turner, New-
Bedford; the Star Dahlia Gardens, Prov-
idence; Arthur B. Wordell, Westport,
and William H. Richardson, New Bed-
ford. Local commercial men were well
represented by the exhibits of K. S. Man-
uel and Sisson & Thurston, the latter
being successful in winning first pre-

mium in the class for conmiercial grow-
ers. William H. Richardson was award-
ed the society 's silver medal for the best
seedling cactus dahlia, and James Rob-
ertson won the prize offered for the best
collection of seedling dahlias.

Although as far as Newport is con-
cerned nothing has as yet shown itself
an equal to Katherine Duer as a decora-
tive dahlia, the new yellow seedling of
this type exhibited by A. H. Wingett, of
Lenox, and named by him Charles
Lanier, is in many respects the best
dahlia of recent introduction. Tt was
awarded a certificate of merit.

James Robertson was again the most
successful exhibitor all through, taking
nine first prizes.

Gladioli were never before exhibited in
(piantity or quality in any way approach-
ing what was seen at this show. B.
Hammond Tracy, of Wenham, Mass.,
made by far the largest and most varied
exhibit of these. He was awarded the
society 's silver medal. John Lewis Childs
was also an exhibitor of gladioli, but
not in such large numbers as on former
occasions,

Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, exhibit-
ed water lilies, caladiums and Nephrol-
epis Amerpohlii and N. Todeaoides, re-
ceiving a Av ell-merited certificate of mer-
it. W. A. Manda showed a miscellaneous
collection of j)lants, prominent among
them being Draca'ua Arandaiana, award-
ed a certificate of merit. Dracaenas Black
Beauty and Bronze Beauty were also no\
ticeable novelties in this collection, as
also were ])lants of variegated privet.

The F. G. Conine Nursery Co., of
Stratford, Conn., showed a collection of

Oimton Rambler in Pot Decorated with Crept Paper.

ber of entries in the history of the so-
ciety, eight groups being staged. For

a group of foliage plants, Colin Kobert-
8on being second and John Marshall
third. Mrs. Eobert Goelet was first for
palms, ferns and flowering plants, Mrs.
Astor second. Oscar Schultz was first
for a group of ferns, and B. J. Berwind
second. The class for a table of foliage
plants was again keenly contested by
four exhibitors. David Mcintosh was
first, John Marshall second and Colin
Robertson third. James Boyd was first
for six dracBBnas in 8-inch pots. Colin
Bobertson was first for specimen crotons.
James Eobertson was first for specimen
cycas. Colin Robertson was first in all
classes of specimen palms, with Oscar
Schultz a close second in one with a fine
specimen of Phoenix Rcebelenii.

Both fruit and vegetables were exhib-
ited in larger numbers and of better
quality than at any previous show.

The first for annuals was won by Jo-
seph Gibson, with John Watson first for
perennials. James Boyd was first for
gardenias. Mrs. Goelet took first for
carnations. Hugh Williamson and his
son James took first and second respect-
ively for miniature flower gardens.

The chief attractions on the seconil
day of the exhibition were the made-up
baskets and centerpieces. For the best
centerpiece of dahlias, Gibson Bros, were
first, Oscar Schultz second and John
Marshall third. For a basket of dahlias,
Oscar Schultz was first, Gibson Bros, sec-
ond and John Marshall third. For a bas-
ket of other flowers, James Boyd was
first with American Beauty roses, John
Marshall second with allamandas and
Gibson Bros, third with Killarney roses.
In the class for six vases of cut flowers
James Boyd was first, Colin Robertson
second and Joseph Gibson third.

On the third day of the exhibition the
interesting attractions were the table
decorations, and what made these of un-
usual interest was that several society
ladies entered the lists and decorated
their own tables personally, with the
result that Miss Wetmore, daughter of
Senator Wetmore, was first for a decora-
tion of outdoor flowers. In the class for
a table decoration, for which Mrs. Ber-
wind offered liberal premiums and speci-
fied that the exhibits must show original-
ity, there was only one prize awarded,
to John Marshall, for a unique arrange-
ment of allamandas and Adiantum Far-
leyense. In the other class for table dec-
orations, Oscar Schultz was first, Colin
Robertson second and John Marshall
third.

The attendance at this show was far
in excess of any show given by the so-
ciety in recent years, doubling that of
the July show and the autumn show of
last year combined.

Nephrolepis Amerpohlii was generally
conceded to be the finest of that type of
fern yet introduced, while its running
mate, N. Todeaoides, because of its more
upright growth and robust center fronds,
was thought to be able to stand more
hard use and syringing in its cultiva-
tion.

Several oflBcers of the New England
Dahlia Society made their presence
known by the lodging of a protest
against an award of the judges. The
protest was found to be well founded

and the judges promptly reversed their
decision. The judges, visitors, commit-
tee and many prominent exhibitors dined
at the Perry House on the opening day.
The judges were Alexander MacLellan,
John T. Allan and Daniel Coughlin.

Use of Night Soil.

I do not agree with Mr. Totty, in the
Review of September 12, as to the use
of night soil. I have used it for a num-
ber of years with . good results. My
method is, use a pailful of soil to fifty
gallons of water. Put the soil in a bag,
drop the bag in a barrel and turn on the
hose. In that way there is nothing but
the liquid used. On a bTight day the
odor is gone in a few hours. J. G. W.

Remedy for White Fly.

In an attempt to kill off sow bugs I
accidentally found a remedy for the
white fly. I mixed flour and sugar and

Paris green and put it on the sides of
the benches, and I noticed that as the
mixture got soft and the sugar melted
the wliite flies swarmed around it and
fed, and soon they all disappeared. That
was last spring, and I have not seen
any since. I tried corn mixed with su-
gar and Paris green for the sow bugs,
but they do not touch it, eating only the
wheat flour. They eat but once.

I hope that this little item will help
some others, for I always flnd the Re-
view helpful, and "Give and take" is
my motto. J. G.

GUANO.

Guano, a corruption of the Spanish
huano, meaning dung, is, as everybody
knows, almost entirely derived from the
excrement of seabirds deposited in a hot
and rainless country. It has been kept
so dry that in the absence of one impor-
tant condition for fermentation — mois-
ture— it has only very slowly decomposed
through centuries, and, being covered up
with sand and other debris, has been re-
markably well preserved and the loss of

nitrogen prevented. In some cases the
deposits are, or were originally, a hun-
dred feet or more thick. Its introduction
into England was in 1840, and it cre-
ated a sensation in gardening circles. It
was then, indeed, a manure to conjure
with, containing, as it generally did,
from fifteen to twenty per cent of am-
monia, or nearly as high a percentage as
nitrate of soda. But there was a limit
to the supply of material of this high
quality, and the result has been that the
imports, which were about 200,000 tons
in 1850, are now, in some years, less than
20,000 tons, according to the Gardeners '

Magazine, "London. Still, there are al-
most numberless grades of guano on the
market at the present time, not only
from Peru, whence it was first intro-
duced, but from several parts of the
South American coast, from islands in
the Pacific, from Southwest Africa, etc.
Some of the guanos imported today are
of quite recent origin, some even being
collected annually after the birds' breed-
ing season. Guano is the basis of most
of the manufactured fertilizers of the
present day, various chemical fertilizers
being added to it in the manufacturing
process.

If your callas are still outdoors, it is
time to get them under glass. Frost so
far has not visited us, but cannot be
much longer delayed. Callas should
have all possible sunlight and a night
temperature of 55 degrees to achieve
best results. They will, however, do
well 5 degrees cooler or higher, and
in midwinter the higher figure will as-
sist in flower production. The pots
should now be getting fairly well filled
with roots and an increasing water
supply will be required. It is yet a
little early to commence feeding. When
using stimulants be sure they are mod-
erately weak for a time. Callas will
stand an abundance of liquid food later
in the season, when the pots are matted
with roots. Spray the plants overhead
on bright days and fumigate to keep
down insect pests.

Lilium Longiflorum.

Lilium longiflorum is arriving in
quantity now and should be potted as
soon as possible after the bulbs come
to hand. The general plan, and the
best one, is to use 6-inch pots, placing
one bulb in each. Some growers start
the bulbs in 4-inch pots and later shift
to the larger size. This plan involves
considerable additional work and wo
have failed to find any special advan-
tage in it. Another plan is to just
cover the bulb in the 6-inch pots and
leave a space of two inches for top-
dressing after the flower stem is a few
inches high. This also has its disad-
vantages, for the new soil may appear
8ufl[iciently moist, while the lower por-
tion is too dry. The best way is to
cover the bulbs two inches deep and
allow a fair margin for water, and to
water rather sparingly until the pots
are well filled with roots. Better to
give too little water than to have the
soil in any degree soggy. Under the
latter condition the roots will surely
rot, whereas little harm is done if the
soil becomes fairly dry. A great many
of the failures in lily growing are due
to overwatering in the early stages of
growth, and diseased stock is frequently
not the fault 6f the bulb dealer at all,
but of the grower.

After potting, place the lilies under
a bench in a cool house, shed or cellar

and cover the pots with excelsior or
moss to keep them from drying out too
rapidly. Do not water until the soil be-
comes quite dry. A few plants maj"
need moisture, while the main batch
will not require any. Easter comes
much later in 1908 and there is yet
ample time to pot up longiflorums for
that occasion. The average retailer,
however, can always utilize a few
stalks for his home trade and it is well
to bear in mind that each year more
lilies are too late rather than too early
for Easter.

Lilium SFedofum.

Where retarded bulbs of that useful
lily, Lilium speciosum, were potted in
July for winter blooming, the flower
stems will now be several inches high
and the pots becoming well filled with
roots. For Christmas trade this lily is
particularly valuable and an effort
should be made to get in as large a
percentage as possible at that time.
Do not give the bulbs a warm house.
They do not take kindly to hard forc-
ing, a minimum of 55 degrees being suf-
ficiently high. A frame or cold house
will answer for a few weeks yet. Give
them full sunshine and do not allow
green aphis to secure a foothold on the
shoots. A little tobacco dust will keep
them in check.

Poiotettias.

Poinsettias in the benches are now
making rapid growth and if some sup-
port has not yet been given them they
are liable to become bent and broken,
being quite brittle. Do not afford .i
high night temperature yet; 50 to .55
degrees at night will answer. This can
be increased a few degrees as the bracts
begin to show, to assist in their proper
development.

Pots and pans will need careful wa-
tering. An oversupply will quickly re-
sult in yellowing foliage and there is
little beauty in a leafless stem with a
scarlet bract at the top. The last pans
should be made up without delay. Even
these will produce nice little bracts
if properly cared for. A little liquid
manure may be afforded any which
have well filled the pots or pans with
roots. Once a week is often enough and
only mild doses are needed. Soot water
will help to green up the foliage on any
which mav have become a little starved.

Myototis.

If you put in a batch of mypsptis cut-
tings as suggested some weeks ago, they
will be nice little plants by this time.
Probably you can find space a]ong the
front of one of your benches for a few.
This is not much of p, market flower,
but works in nicely in designs, while
some of your customers may fancy a
bunch of forget-me-nots in preference to
carnations and violets. Myosotis is
speedily ruined by aphis. Watch tho
under sides of the leaves for any signs
of it. Drop some tobacco dust among
the plants as a preventive and fumigate
if it gets a foothold.

Chinese Primroses.

If you want some Chinese, primroses
in bloom for Christmas, they should
now be removed from the frames, in
which they have been growing for some
months, to a cool and airy house. A
little shade will be, needed to break
direct sunlight from falling on the
plants. The temperature should not
exceed 50 degrees at night and a dry
atmosphere is preferable to a moist
one. The plants should be in their
blooming pots by this time and the
earliest batch will have the pots nicely
filled with roots. Water must be care-
fully given. Use the watering-pot
rather than the hose. It may take
more time, but you will find it pays.
Space the plants so that their leaves
do not crowd each other and do not
spray overhead after this date. It is
yet too early to commence feeding.

Rubber Plants.

Eubbers have done well outdoors this
year, but it is risky to leave them ex-
posed much longer, even in lath frame
protections. The chilly nights will
soon affect the plants, hardy- as they
are. At this season we are tempted to
leave many plants outdoors longer than
we really ought to do on account of
the pressure on available bench-room.
If you have frames with requisite head-
room, you can hold your rubbers in
them until the earlier chrysanthemums
are out of the way. A cool house is all
they need, unless your stock is under-
sized and you want to give it some
heat to make it of a more salable size.

Ventilation.

September, as usual, has furnished
us with a wide range of temperature,
varying from the 90 degrees to freez-
ing. Considerable judgment is needed
to give ' ventilation properly. Little
fire heat will yet be used by the ma-
jority, except for roses and some of the
palms or ornamental foliage plants.
Frequently cold nights will succeed
hot days. The general impulse is to
close the ventilators to keep up the
temperature. Unless a trifle of fire
heat is at command, this is the very
worst policy. Better keep on a fair
amount of air and avoid a cold clam-
miness, such as is always found in a
tightly closed house without fire heat.
Temperatures are yet too variable to
permit of keeping exact night tempera-
tures. They must vary according to
the weather. Never mind if your ther-
mometer runs a few degrees low in the
mornings if you have a fair amount of
ventilation on. On hot days close the
side ventilators and open them in the
evening. Top ventilation only will be
needed in a short time. If a damp,
cloudy spell of weather arrives it will

pay to turn on a little fire heat, leav-
ing the ventilators well open. The
question of ventilation is an all-im-
portant one and chapters might be
written upon it. Blessed are the men
in your employ who attend to it in-
telligently. They are well worthy of
their hire, for the use of even a little
•judgment may materially increase your
profits.

Brief Reminders.

Except in the case of recently lifted
stock, foliage on all plants should now
be dry at nightfall. A moisture-laden
air will speedily breed rust and vari-
ous bacteria.

Give geranium cuttings abundant
ventilation and full sunlight. Do any
watering early in the day.

Now is the time to lift, divide and
replant almost all kinds of hardy peren-
nials. The earlier the work is done
the better will be the results next year.

Keep sweet peas well ventilated. The
early crop will need supporting strings,
if these are not already given.

Lift and pot erotons, dracsenas and
any other colored-leaved plants of a
tropical nature. Keep warm and close
until established, spraying several times
daily in bright weather.

Pot up plants of Campanula pyramid-
alis for flowering in July and August
next year.

Keep genistas trimmed into shape.
Cuttings will root freely now in a cool
house.

Hollyhocks, pansies, violets, digitalis
and other biennials or perennials will
now be fine stocky plants. Keep them

free of weeds and the ground well cul-
tivated. It is too late to sow seeds of
these for flowering next spring and
summer.

Pot on schizanthus before they be-
come potbound and make a successionai
sowing of seeds for early spring flow-
ering.

Cyclamens are now growing rapidly.
They will do in frames for some time
yet, if greenhouse space is at a pre-
mium.

GLOXINIAS AT SPRING BROOK.

The gloxinia is one of the best and
most useful of our greenhouse plants.
Its culture is easy if close attention is
paid to the few necessities of the plant,
and it will pay to provide some good
plants for another season. The house
of gloxinias shown in the accompanying
illustration was grown by William F.
Lyons, foreman gardener for R. D.
Foote, Spring Brook Farms, Morris-
town, N. J. Not all the plants in the
house show in the picture. There were
280 plants altogether, each plant carry-
ing fifteen flowers, on the average. Mr.
Lyons describes his cultural method as
follows :

The seeds of gloxinias should be
sown in a warm temperature early in
February, in pans or shallow boxes con-
taining a finely sifted mixture of peat,
leaf -mold and silvef sand in equal pro-
portions. The seedlings should begin to
appear in about ten days, when great
care must be exercised in watering, or
they will damp oflF. In fact, success with
these plants throughout the year de-
pends largely upon the care in watering,

even in their most active growth. I al-
ways water with a can, taking care not
to water the foliage, though they like u
warm, humid atmosphere during their
growing season.

As soon as the seedlings can be han-
dled they should be potted singly into
thumb pots, and grown on rapidly, using
in subsequent shifts a mixture of two
parts leaf -mold, one part fibrous loam
and one part peat. The plants must be
well shaded from sunlight, and placed
in a position free from draughts. The
seedlings should begin to flower by the
second week in August, when they should
be given an abundance of air and grown
at a temperature of about 60 or 65
degrees.

After the flowering season is over the
leaves will begin to mature, when water-
ing should be gradually withheld. As
soon as the leaves have all ripened off,
the pots should be stored away in some
convenient place for the winter, in a
temperature of about 45 degrees, giving
just enough water to keep the tubers
from shriveling. About February these
tubers will show signs of growth again,
when they should be shaken out, repotted
in small pots just large enough to hold
the tubers, and repotted as the season
goes on, until they have been put into
sixes or sevens, when they should flower,
giving the same treatment and using the
fcame compost as described above.

charge of the gardening. One of the
illustrations shows the drive, looking to-
ward the house, with Hydrangea Otaksa
on either side. The other pictures are of
specimen plants. These plants are all
set in the ground and stay outdoors all
winter. In the autumn they are turned
on the side and covered with soil.

The larger illustration, in which Mr.
Burke stands beside one of his plants,
serves to give an idea of the size of
these hydrangeas. This plant is about
seven feet high and the same distance
through. It was planted four years ago
from a 12-inch pot. Mr. Burke says the
flowers on this plant were pink in 1906,
and this year are blue, though nothing
has been used in the soil which would
account for the change in color. The
other plant is a more perfect specimen,
the flowers being more evenly distribut-
ed. The plant is over six feet high and
about seven feet in diameter. It has
been literally covered with flowers, which
were so numerous that it was almost im-
possible to get an accurate count of
them; there were several hundred. The
flowers on this plant are pink this year
and were blue last year.

BREEDING AND

PROPAGATION

Closely Related Subjects*

The coupling of these two subjects
seems eminently proper, as the present
situation, especially with regard to the
carnation, is that the breeders are yearly
producing new and better varieties, and
the grower is just as rapidly destroying
them by improper methods of propagat-
ing and growing.

Perhaps a short summary of the ex-
tent, or, better, the limitation, of the
writer's experience may be of use in es-
timating the value of any ideas ad-
vanced in this paper. For some eight-
een years I have been actively engaged
in growing cut flowers for market pur-
poses, largely carnations and chrysanthe-

mums, and for the last thirteen years
have been interested in the breeding of
carnations, with no very striking success
so far as the putting out of phenomenal
new things is concerned.

The Commercial Method.

The work has been conducted strictly
from the commercial standpoint and,
like all work of this kind conducted from
this standpoint, has but little value in
a scientific way. Questions of economy,
the saving of time, labor and greenhouse
space, compel the dropping of any line
so soon as it shall appear not to offer
reasonable chances for gain. We cannot
study retrograde or degenerate move-
ments. Failures — that is, undesirable
types — are at once destroyed and re-
placed by what seems to give more
chance of gain, and no proper study is,
or can . be, made of the causes of the
retrogression or degeneracy. This same
con^mercial pressure and desire to econ-
omize time leads us to keep incomplete
records and lays us open to more than a
suspicion of inaccuracy. General state-
ments, summaries or conclusions, no
matter how positively put forth by us,
are open to suspicion also, because we
have no true conception of what sciea-
tific accuracy means. Many of us en-
tirely fail to study the scientific work
which has been done, or is being done,
in breeding and heredity, while the best
of us can hardly lay claim to more than
a superficial knowledge of it, gained
through digests, reviews and summaries.

The Scientific Method.

On the other hand, the scientific stu-
dent of these matters is not primarily
concerned about the commercial value of
his products, and will preserve for care-
ful study degenerate or sickly individ-
uals which the commercial breeder will
promptly discard. Failures are failures,

the greenhouse hydrangea, for it is not
hardy outdoors in the north without care-
ful protection. It is ordinarily seen in
tubs on lawns and is one of the finest of
plants for the purpose. Late in autumn,
when the leaves have fallen after light
frost, the plants are removed to a frost-
proof cellar and kept rather dry until
spring, when they are repotted and the
growths cut back. During summer a liber-
al supply of water should be given.

Handsome pot plants for spring sales
can be grown in little more than a year.
Old plants, given a little heat in winter,
will give an abundance of cuttings in
February and March. They root quickly.
Pot on till June. Pinch out the tops.
During summer plunge outside where
drainage will be good. They have to
ripen the growth, and most growers leave
them out until after early frosts to do
it. They should be repotted in time to
be reestablished before frost. Keep cool
in the greenhouse until January, when
liberal treatment, with 50 to 60 degrees
of heat, will give plants in flower for
Easter.

simply, to the one, while to the other
they are often subjects for careful
study, as pdssibly containing the key to
the cause. The one is concerned solely
with the value of the resulting indi-
vidual, and has neither the time, knowl-
edge nor inclination to search deeply
into the cause. To the other, the cause
is the main matter of interest, and the
possible commercial value of the result
is a subordinate one. The commercial
breeder has a thorough knowledge of
commercial values, and a highly culti-
vated, almost instinctive selective sense
for progressive or valuable traits. The
scientific student is quite generally de-
ficient in knowledge of commercial
values.

These conditions of wide variance be-
tween the two classes of men as to
knowledge, methods and aims will ex-
plain the state of mild contempt fre-
quently shown by each for the other. The
commercial breeder takes a tumble when
he attempts to draw scientific conclu-
sions from his work, and the scientist is
often left at the post when he ventures
to discuss or assign commercial values.

Estimate of Scientist's Work.

It is far from my intent to belittle
the work of the scientist. He has
worked miracles and is doing so daily.
What future work in the close study of
the breeding of plants will do, no man^
can say. It is safe to believe, however,
that many problems, the answers to
which we cannot even guess at present,
will be solved. At the risk of being
called a Philistine, however, I am com-
pelled to say that, so far as regards the
commercial breeder of florists' plants,
the scientist, so far as science baa been
assimilated, has done little more for
him than to enable him in certain cases

wood, 111., read liefore the Congress of Hortlrul-
fnre nt the Jamestown exposition, September

to make a little shrewder guess. The
term scientific breeding, as applied to
our subject, is a misnomer. The breed-
ing of florists ' flowers remains today
almost a pure art.

There are two principal recognized
methods of breeding florists' flowers —
by selection to fix a type and by cross
breeding. The two methods are not so
different as they might seem. Success
in each depends, barring occasional ac-
cident, on the same qualities in the
operator. Tlie cross may almost be con-
sidered a minor matter. It is the fine,
almost instinctive, power for the per-
ception of minute variations, both pro-
gressive and retrogressive, on which most
largely depends success, and the lack of
it in either case means failure.

Power of Observation.

This same power of minute observa-
tion enables the cross breeder to become
acquainted, as it were, with his subjects,
to learn their individual potencies and
combining powers, and, year by year, if
he is careful about introducing foreign
blood, to predict more and more closely
the results of his crosses; and yet he
will often be unable to give to you or
me any good and sufficient reason why
he selects or rejects, or why he makes or
avoids certain crosses, any more than
the painter can give you rule or reason
for all the varying form or color in his
masterpiece.

Breeding and propagating in floricul-
ture have widely varying objects. One
is a process for producing — I had al-
most said creating — new forms; the
other is a process for. increasing the num-
ber of individuals of one form. An at-
tempt to discuss methods of propagation
is unnecessary.

Reasons for Deterioration.

Florists' plants that are propagated
by seed do not generally deteriorate for
long periods, as the seed is commonly

grown by expert specialists, carefully
rogued and kept up to standard. In
the plants commonly propagated from
cuttings, rapid deterioration is often no-
ticed. This is due to one or several of
many causes. A poor cutting may be
taken from a good plant, or an appar-
ently good cutting from a starved, sickly
or overfed plant. The cutting may be
weakened by too high a temperature in
the propagating bed, or by having to
sustain itself too long without roots by
reason of too low a temperature in the
sand, or by remaining too long after
rooting without potting. Attacks of dis-
ease or improper growing, of course,
h'asten the deterioration of a variety, but
do not concern us at this time.

Granting that the mechanical part of
the work is properly done, the sand good
and clean, watering and ventilation
properly attended to and soil and after
culture all that can be asked, there is
still deterioration in many cases. A
sickly or diseased plant gives its own
warning, and only the most careless
grower will take cuttings from it.

Prime Giuse of Deterioration.

By far the most insidious danger lies
in the strong, vigorous plant producing
fine blooms, but overfed. Here is the
great danger and here, I believe, lies
the prime cause of deterioration, espe-
cially in the carnation. A plant once
overfed seems a changed individual and
this changed condition extends to its
progeny by cuttings, to a great degree.

When we have taken cuttings from
healthy plants which are in %-igorous
growing condition, and which we know
to have not been overstimulated; when
we have given them perfect conditions
and perfect care, from cutting to flow-
ering time and back again, year after
year, there will often bo noted a steady
decline in productiveness, with a possible
retention of good health and vigor. We
have failed to learn our lesson of the

breeder; we have selected with only one
object in view and have overlooked the
difference in productiveness of our in-
dividual plants. When we learn to scru-
tinize every cutting as to its quality, and
every plant from which a cutting is
made, not only as to its health and
vigor, but also as to its flower-producing
qualities, and to reject all but the very
best, then will we hear less of the de-
terioration of varieties.

In a word, success in breeding, suc-
cess in propagating, in fact, success in
all floricultural operations, is due to that
quality by which some writer has de-
fined genius — an infinite capacity for
taking pains.

Methodt of Selection.

The following notes, though hardly
proper to be included in the reading of
this paper, may be of some interest if
subsequently printed.

It has been our custom to so time
our crossing as to ripen seed for March
sowing. These seedlings have been
planted in frames and allowed to bloom
in the open, those showing desirable qual-

the overdouble or bursting form. The
early bloomers have quite generally been
found the freest in bloom through later
trials. The bursters have increased in
number later, while the singles, though
still showing, have not been so numerous.
The larger number of desirable varieties
have flowered from two to four weeks
after the first bloom, and seldom have
any been saved after September 15. A
record of each cross has, of course, al-
ways been kept, and for several seasons
a brief record of each seedling blooming,
as regards doubleness and color. These
records cover 2,170 separate plants, and
during a season of confinement to the
house were tabulated and summarized in
various ways. It should be noted that
the records did not cover the entire num-
ber of plants from any cross, except in
a few cases, as sickly or plainly unde-
sirable forms were at once pulled up, and
many had not bloomed when freezing
weather came on. With these exceptions,
the notes are believed to cover the
ground reasonably well, and to be fairly
accurate. No distinction was made be-
tween those bursting from overdouble-
ness and those from malformation.

ities being removed to the greenhouse
for subsequent trial, the undesirable ones
being destroyed, and those not blooming
before frost being disregarded, experi-
ence having shown them to be generally
worthless.

The first bloom has been from July
15 to August 8, varying in different
years. The plants blooming earliest have
been generally singles and those double
enough for commercial purposes, but of
medium or small size, with very few of

Singleaeu and Doubleness.

In 733 individuals (one season's
crosses), we had: Singles, 161; commer-
cial doubles, 361; overdouble or bursters,
211. In 1,437 individuals, we had: Sin-
gles, 385; commercial, 706; bursters,
346. In 2,170 individuals, we had: Sin-
gles, 546 ; commercial, 1,067 ; bursters,
557. It will be noted that the sum of
the singles and bursters approximates
quite closely the total of the commer-
cials.

The earlier crosses seemed to produce
more singles and fewer bursters. The
crosses made December 10 to January 1,
where plants were at their best, before
feeding commenced, produced very nearly
an equal number of singles and bursters,
with the commercials showing a slight
increase over the sum of the other tw6^.
The late crosses showed the bursters in
excess of the singles, and the early and
late crosses showed the sum of the sin-
gles and bursters in excess of the com-
mercials.

The above should not be considered as
at all conclusive, as the mid-season
crosses were very much in excess of the
early and late ones.

Crosses of one female . by various
males and the reverse, when there were
100 or more individuals, did not vary
largely from the proportions of the
2,170 individuals noted before.

Color.

A large number of tabulations were
made and much care was exercised in
making them, but they all lead back to
one conclusion; namely, that the color
of the seedling is a matter depending
entirely upon the individual potency of
the parents. The most potent parents
as to color were those which were the re-
sult of many generations of previous
breeding to color. Some reproduced
their color better as males, others as
females, and others equally well in either
case. Special search was made for some
indications of the truth of the theory
that the male has the greater influence
on color. It is a positive fact that in
these 2,170 crosses the theory does not
hold. I could get no tabulation, the re-
sults of which would not be changed by
the withdrawal of certain male crosses
and the substitution of certain female
crosses, or vice versa. It is true that
certain mongrel crosses did show a slight
preponderance of the male color in the
seedlings, but they were few in number
and the withdrawal of a very few
crosses would have changed the result to
the other side.

E. A. SCRIBNER.

E. A. Scribner, the new president of
the Detroit Florists' Club, has been in
the retail flower business at Detroit for
about twelve years. Before that time
he was superintendent of Waterworks
park in Detroit, which all visitors to that
city know is one of the most beautiful
spots in a beautiful citj'. The grounds
now are the same as laid out by Mr.
Scribner many years ago. His experi-
ence thus embraces all departments of
the florists' business, and he is well
qualified by nature to preside over the
club's destinies in the coming year.

THE SROCZYNSKI PLACE.

The establishment illustrated herewith,
including a pressed brick flat building
and store, four modern greenhouses and
over an acre of ground, is the property
of Peter- Sroczynski, of Chicago, who
conducts both a wholesale and retail
trade at 810 Harding avenue. Besides
handling a general stock of plants, each
in its season, he makes a specialty of
Boston ferns, and he is also noted among
the trade for his success in forcing
Easter lilies.

Mr. Sroczynski is better known to his
Chicago friends as "Big Pete." He
came to this country April 5, 1888, with
only 35 cents in money, but with the

determination to become a good citi-
zen and a successful florist. He im-
mediately began work for Mr. Gorkey,
at $15 per month, but later was as-
sociated with Sam Pearce, and to this
day he says that Mr. Pearce is the
man who pointed out to him the road
to success. In the latter part of August
it was sixteen years since Mr. Sroczynski
started in business for himself and the
anniversary was celebrated in appro-
priate style.

GERBERA JAMESONI.

E. Adnet, of Antibes, writing in the
Revue Horticole, describes his experience
with Gerbera Jamesoni, and shows that,
like other composites, it is likely to af-
ford interesting variations in the form
and coloring of the blooms. The red
color already varies from the deepest
orange to pure scarlet ; also a beginning
in the doubling of the florets has been

noted. The plant requires much nutri-
ment and a porous and not too heavy
soil. It is easily injured by much mois-
ture, but applications of manure water
when the plants are in full growth are
followed by good results. The collar
must be placed slightly above the ground
level when planted, this part being other-
wise liable to be injured by moisture. In-
crease by means of seed is preferable to
division of the root-stock. Fresh seed
vegetates from ninety to ninety-five per
cent in the course of five to eight days.
The young seedlings are particularly im-
patient of excess of moisture. Under
suitable cultivation they flower when
about five months old. The plant is em-
ployed in the south of France for filling
groups and beds and for furnishing
blooms for cutting. The florists are hop-
ing to obtain a dwarf, compact-habited
race, with a less tender constitution and
greater vigor in growth than the type.

CARNATION NOTES -WEST.

Supporting the Plants.

After you have finished cleaning the
plants of what dead leaves there may
have been, and also the soil of weeds,
so there will be little w:eeding needed
until toward spring, it will be time to
put your supports in place. The plants
will be bearing some blooms from now
on, and while they are not as yet very
valuable, it pays to keep them off the
ground. The plants, too, will be better
off for being kept growing upright.

In case of early planting it may pay
to keep the early flower shoots topped
back, but when plants are housed in Au-
gust or later I believe it pays to allow
the blooms to come, even though you
may have little sale for them. There
will be less tendency to crop, and while
the crop may never be enormously heavy,
it will be more steady through the sea-
son, and usually more satisfactory.

Growers who have a steady trade to sup-
ply will agree that nothing is more dis-
concerting than to have an oversupply of
a certain color for a few weeks and then
suddenly, a decided shortage. You will
usually find the one followed by the
other. This is especially true with vari-
eties which are inclined to stool out and
grow what is usually termed grassy.

As to supports, there are many styles
and methods, and each has its advocates.
For the retail grower who grows a few
benches of carnations and may need a
part of a bench at any time, the wire
supports are the proper method. Of
these there are a number of good ones to
choose from. The main thing to look for
is rigidity. A flimsy support is not
worth having, as it will not do what it
is intended for. Many large growers are
using these supports, too, and with good
results. We use our old method of wires
and twine, and we are in no hurry to
change. The main point when using this
method is to have the stays at the ends
of the bed solid. If they give an inch
there will be a sagging of the wires

which will ruin its effectiveness. The
wires should be quite tight and they
should not be too heavy, else their own
weight will prevent them from being
drawn quite tight. Do not economize by
using only one strand of twine to each
row of plants, as we have seen done.
Two strands are required and less will
not do the work. You will need three
tiers of these wires, or, if you use wire
supports, you will need three rings. So,
when you lay them in, provide for that
many. A bench of plants that are only
half supported never looks well and will
never give the returns that it would if
the plants were supported properly.

Occasionally we see plants unsupported
away up to the middle of the winter,
which is rank folly. The supports should
be put in place before the plants have
made very much growth, else while the
supports are put in place the plants will
be pulled around and half-grown stems
will be standing crooked instead of up-
right, and the next crop will be any-
thing but satisfactory. The old proverb,
' ' A stitch in time saves nine, ' ' certainly
applies here.

We hear of a few houses which are
still unplanted. Plants housed after this
date should not be expected to yield a
first-class crop for the holidays. That
a large per cent of the proper season's
yield will be lost goes without saying.
The heavy crop will come toward spring
instead of midwinter, and instead of
good sales at good prices the market will
likely be draggy and prices low. Conse-
quently there will be a poor chance for
profit. A. F. J. Baur.

CONGRESS OF HORTICULTURE.

The Jamestown exposition is the cen-
ter of horticultural interest this week.
In addition to the Congress of Horti-
culture, held under the auspices of the
National Council of Horticulture, upon
invitation of the Exposition company
and the Norfolk Horticultural and Po-
mological Society, there are the regular
conventions of the American Pomolog-
ieal Society, the American Nut Growers'
Association, the Society for Horticul-
tural Science and the Federation of Hor-
ticultural Societies. These names have
a scientific sound and, indeed, those of
the trade are in the minority in most of
the societies, but the meetings have
called a number of florists, see<lsmen and
nurserymen to Jamestown this week and
on the program of each of the meetings
one or more business growers has a

trade interest will appear from time to
time in the Beview.

THE MILWAUKEE PICNIC.

The accompanying illustration is pre-
pared from photographs made at the an-
nual picnic of the Milwaukee Florists'
Club, September 15. There were nearly
200 members and their families present.
The Florists' Club donated numerous
prizes for the program of races, etc., and
the afternoon was thoroughly enjoyed.
Tlie pictures show the start in the men's
race, the finish in the married ladies'
race and the tug-of-war.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

The weather the first part of last week
was cool and threatening and a rainy
spell set in and lasted up to Friday. On
Saturday a bright, hot July day was on
hand, the streets once more were crowd-
ed and the street florists disposed of
their stock nicely. Trade with the re-
tail stores was fair and funeral work
held out well.

Boses are still coming in heavily and
carnations are enough to meet the de-
mands. Dahlias are almost a glut.
Gladioli are shortening up. Cosmos is
more plentiful.

Gardeners' Club in Wreck.

the harvest home festival at the estab-
lishment of R. Vincent, Jr., '& Sons

road crashed into the local just as it
was backing into a siding and threw the
engine down the embankment. Fortu-
nately the coupling broke and the cars
did not leave the track. Had the acci-
dent occurred a moment sooner, it would
probably have resulted in the cutting to
pieces of several carloads of the visitors.
It was considered marvelous by the rail-
road men who witnessed it that the pas-
senger cars were not bowled over into
the ditch.

Vincent's Dahlia. Show.

The fifth annual dahlia show of the
R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., combined
with a harvest home festival lasting four
days, started September 12, which was
gardeners' day. A number of florists
and members of the gardeners' clubs
from neighboring cities were present.
The Baltimore Club left Camden station
at 11:50 a. m. and on reaching Cowenton
station carriages were on hand to carry
the visitors a mile and a half to the
show. A genuine country chicken dinner
was served and was well enjoyed, after
which a general inspection was made of
the large packing and shipping depart-
ment, which was made a bower of love-
liness. Branches of oak trees depended
from the roof, while the walls were lined
with dahlias of all sorts, arranged with
such art as to display them to the best
advantage. Over 250 varieties were
shown.

At present there are twenty large green-
houses and six more will be completed by
October 15. .Nearly five acres are now
under glass. Thousands of greenhouse
and vegetable plants are raised in these

2,363,831 tomato plants, with peppers,
lettuce and sweet potato plants and other
plants in proportion.

Mr. Vincent plants his dahlias in rows,

as he would corn. He has forty acres in
bloom, and the effect of those broad
fields with their brilliant-tinted flowers
is unique and beautiful.

Various Notes.

F. C. Bauer, of Govanstown, Md., is
building a new boiler-room of concrete
and will have all his boilers under one
roof.

F. Seidelich, of Woodlawn, Md.,
brought the first lot of cosmos to the
Lexington market. Mr. Seidelich has in-
stalled a new pumping outfit itnd has a
four horse-power gasoline engine.

W. Keir, of Pikesville, has a fine lot
of roses coming on.

Lohr & Fritze will install a steam
boiler to take the place of hot water.

WATER HYAQNTHS.

A thing of beauty Is a Joy forever;
Its loTeliness increases; It will never
Pass Into nothingness, but still will keep
A quiet bower for us and a sleep
Full of erweet dreams and health, and quiet
breathing.

When the late Mr. Keata penned the
above lines he had plainly never made
acquaintance of the water hyacinth
nor attempted to log a saw mill via a
hyacinth covered bayou, says the Amer-
ican Lumberman. Men who have done
both are aggressively inclined to take
issue with the poetic gentleman and with
his pernicious doctrine. They admit
that the water hyacinth is a thing of
beauty, but are ready to take oath
that it is quite the opposite of being a
joy forever. They trust his prediction
that it will never "pass into nothing-
ness" will prove false; and while they
are forced to admit that it is putting
a number of saw mills to sleep they
emphatically deny that a sleeping saw
mill is conducive to sweet dreams,
either for the owners or the help.

Speaking seriously, the hyacinth in
Louisiana has graduated from the in-
considerable proportions of a pest to
the full and solemn dignity of a prob-
lem. It is costing the business inter-
ests thousands of dollars and this sum-
mer has been perhaps worse in all re-
spects than ever. Bayou Barataria,
across the river from New Orleans, has
practically been closed to navigation
by this aquatic growth, despite heroic
efforts to keep the channel clear. Ac-
cording to the statements in local news-
papers, the Louisiana Cypress Lumber
Co., operating an extensive plant at
Harvey, La., has been forced to shut
down temporarily because of its in-
ability to get its log tows through. In
Bayou des Allemands similar condi-
tions prevail, and it is known that one
large cypress mill has been forced to
suspend operations for weeks because
of the clogged waterway. Throughout
the cypress country the hyacinth is
prospering as never before, despite the
fight that is being waged against it.
The situation is serious and its impor-
tance is hardly recognized by those not
in the immediate vicinity of the water-
ways where the damage is being done.

CLEMATIS WITH BARE BASES.

The tendency of practically all the
clematis family seems to be to rush up-
wards as quickly as possible, leaving a
base bare and unprotected, but eventu-
ally forming a head of tangled shoots.
Sometimes an effort is made to keep this
head of shoots disentangled and spread
out, but rarely do we see anjr attempt to

clothe the bare base with foliage or flow-
ers. And yet, according to a note in an
English gardeners' magazine, this is
readily done during the growing season,
and the return obtained is so altogether
disproportionate to the trouble involved
that few gardening operations can pay
better for *he doing. All that is neces-
sary is to divert a few of the strongest
shoots in their upward career and twine
thom downward around the bare stems
at the base of the plant. They grow just
as well downward as upward, and soon
effect a most desirable transformation.

BOSTON.

The Market

The market is not at all in a good con-
dition at present and business is not at
all what it ought to be. The weather has
continued warm and a good many asters
and other outdoor flowers still arrive. A
killing frost is needed to tone up busi-
ness. Boses are arriving in large num-
bers, but nieet with only a moderate sale ;
the quality leaves much to be desired.
Carnations are steadily increasing in
numbers, but do not yet cut much of a
figure in the market, owing to the con-
tinued abundance of asters, which have
proved a fine crop in spite of the late
drought of summer. Violets are still
small and of poor color. A few Fitz-
wygram chrysanthemums are seen, but
are not superior to best quality asters.
Gladioli are nearing the end, also Lilium
speciosum. There is a fair supply of
Lilium longiflorum, also cosmos, trito-
nias and other outdoor flowers.

Club Jottings.

R. G. Leavitt, in his talk on hybridi-
zation at the last club meeting, referred
to the close similarity in pollen masses.
When placed in water these pollen grains
grew and formed pollen tubes. Some
plants were naturally self sterile, never
mutually fertile. In the case of peren-
nials, such as daphne, some were self
sterile, others fertile in the same spe-
cies. Speaking of the probable results of
using two varieties of pollen on one
stigma, he said it was remotely possible
that all three might be represented in

the offspring. He personally, however,
did not believe it. It was impossible for
two pollen tubes to get into one ovule.
A separate grain of pollen was needed to
produce each individual seed.

In the case of orchid pods, which con-
tained many thousands of minute seeds,
it was necessary for an equal number
of pollen grains to effect the work of
cross fertilization. In the case of citrus
fruit it had been proved that if three
seedlings were produced in one ovule,
never more than one of these would be
a hybrid. Messrs. F. E. Palmer, D. Fin-
layson, K. Finlayson, M. A. Patten, F.
W. Fletcher and G. Butterworth were
among those joining in the subsequent
discussion.

The club field day at the dahlia farm
of W. W. Rawson & Co. at Marblehead,
September 21, was a grand success. Two
special coaches were attached to the
12:40 train from the North station.
These were well filled, about 125 attend-
ing. An excellent lunch was served on
arrival at the grounds, after which the
large and representative collection of
dahlias was inspected. These were in
fine condition and blooming freely. The
following varieties were particularly good
in their classes:

Cactus — Alexander Immer, dark ma-
roon; Ambassador das Marchen, cerise
pink; Ignea, Les AUiees, Nil Desperan-
dum, Orion, pink, very good ; Perfect,
J. H. Jackson, dark maroon; Volker and
F, M. Stredwick.

Decorative — Alphonse Isore, red ;
Katherine Duer, Jeannie Charmet, Kais-
erin Augusta Victoria, very fine white;
Mrs. Roosevelt, W. W. Rawson and Fire-
burst.

A few good show varieties were A. D.
Livoni, Edward LeFavour, Governor
Guild, white; Le Colosse, Dr. Kirtland,
Mrs. Gordon Abbot, Rev. J. B. M. Camm
and Storm King. There was also a good
selection of fancy, single, peony and
other types.

During the day a baseball game was
played between the married and single
men, the former winning after the latter
had lost two balls. Before dispersing
President Westwood proposed a vote of
thanks to Mr. Rawson, which was re-
sponded to by Maurice Fuld, his man-

ager, Mr. Rawson being absent at the
Jamestown exposition. The 6:11 train
was taken for Boston, aU voting the day
a most enjoyable one.

Various Notes.

The Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety has issued a preliminary list of
prizes to be offered at the January,
March and May shows in 1908. A num-
ber of new classes are provided and con-
siderably more money offered.

W. W. Edgar & Co. have an extra fine
house of Bonnaffon chrysanthemums 30a
200 at their new establishment. They
are building a 50-foot addition to their
storage and packing shed.

J. K. M. L. Farquhar and Warren W.
Rawson are among the speakers at
Jamestown this week, under the auspices
of the National Council of Horticulture.

The H. E. Fiske Co. has had some at-
tractive window displays of dahlias and
hardy perennials of late. The company
has just celebrated its first anniversary
and the oflBcers are well pleased with
patronage accorded. George C. Thom-
son, late of Rennie & Thomson, of Prov-
idence, is now with them.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
loses a good member in William Allen,
gardener at Mount Auburn cemetery for
a number of years, who left September
23 to assume the superintendency of
Homewood cemetery, Pittsburg. The
club at its last meeting voted to send a
congratulatory letter to ilr. Allen on
his appointment.

J. T. Butterworth and daughter were
in Holland when last heard from and
will return about the middle of October.
He has a grand lot of Cattleya labiata
at his establishment in South Framing-
ham just coming in season.

Peter Fisher is marketing some nice
blooms of his new scarlet carnation. Bea-
con, which promises to be the leader in
its color this season.

William Nicholson has a fine house of
Carnation Afterglow, for which he is
eastern agent and which looks like a
winner.

John McFarland will force lilacs, not
lilies, as stated in last issue of the Re-
view, w. X. Craic.

As EAKLT as September 7 there were
large supplies of chrysanthemums, both
cut and in pots, in the market at Covent
Garden, London. The sale for them was
slow.

When you give a customer directions
as to the care of plants, do not speak of
dirt; dirt is what some florists have un-
der the greenhouse benches, but it is soil
that plants are grown in.

The Florists' Hail Association has
paid out $3,000 for glass broken by hail
since August 1, 1907, the recent storm
at Des Moines, la., having cost the asso-
ciation over one-third of that amount.

If H. F., New York, who writes about
ardisias, using plain paper and envelope,
will send his name and address the Re-
view will take pleasure in answering his
questions to the best of its ability. Names
and addresses are not used for publica-
tion, but are necessary in all cases; no
attention can be paid to any anonymous
communication.

ILLINOIS ASSOCIATION.

The Illinois State Florists' Associa-
tion will hold its third annual convention
in Springfield in February, 1908. This
will be the greatest convention of the
florists and kindred trades that has ever
been held in the state of Illinois. Al-
ready many inquiries have been made re-
garding space for trade exhibits.

The committee appointed by the
Springfield Florists' Club to look up the
matter of exhibits takes early opportunity
to ask all who are interested to make
known their wants. The committee can
give all the space wanted, whether it be
for banners to hang up or space on the
floor for any kind of exhibit belonging
to the trade, and asks hearty cooperation
in making this convention a record-
breaker.

Springfield, the capital city of Illinois,

is located in the center of the state and
will be visited by all florists of this, as
well as many other states. Springfield is
also famous for its horticultural prod-
ucts, no less than eighteen firms being
engaged in the growing of cut flowers,
plants and vegetables.

This being the center of the state, and
its easy access by steam and interurban
railroads, assures a great many of the
trade being present, thus showing what
a factor this convention will be from an
advertising point of view.

Hotel accommodations are unexcelled;
plenty of room for all at moderate prices.
The exhibition and convention will be
in the State Armory, with a floor space
of 30,000 square feet, with a large gal-
lery surrounding the entire building,
fully heated, and the exhibitors need have
no fear in sending their choicest stock
of cut flowers and plants. Exhibits
coming from a distance, and exhibitors
not being able to accompany them, will
be well taken care of by the local club.
The committee especially urges upon all
supply men and dealers in greenhouse
building and heating material to let them
know at once what space they will want,
so that it can arrange exhibits to the best
advantage. Address all communications
to the secretary of the Springfield Flo-
rists' Club, George W. Jack, 217 South
Fifth street, Springfield, 111.

GENERAL BUSINESS GOOD.

Bradstreet 's, in its current review of
the state of trade, says that whether at-
tributable to the improvement in the
general financial situation or because of
favorable weather allowing of additional
crop development, there is a perceptibly
better feeling in general commercial
lines. Warm weather has favored corn,
and seventy-five per cent of the crop is
now reported out of danger from frost,
while the same influence has allowed of
cotton opening rapidly and picking and
marketing becoming general. Fall job-
bing seems to have reached and passed
its zenith perhaps a trifle earlier than
usual, and now the traveling men are
preparing to go out seeking reorders.
Retail trade has hardly been as brisk as
desired or expected, because the warm
weather, while helping crops, has not
stimulated fall buying to any great ex-
tent.

THE DEATH ROLL.

CH.Gri£g.

C. H. Grigg, well known in the trade
in Philadelphia, died in the Presbyterian
hospital in that city Sunday, September
22.. He was 70 years of age. Mr. Grigg
had a long experience in the retail end
of the business, having been connected
with the Century and Colonial shops and
formerly being a member of Graham &
Grigg.

Marcus Aniley.

Marcus Ansley died September 16, at
the family homestead, about five miles
southwest from Geneva, N. Y., where he
was born and which was his residence
during his entire life of 81 years. His
father, William Ansley, was one of the
original settlers there. Marcus Ansley
was for some years a nurseryman and
afterwards an extensive fruit grower.
He was twice married. He leaves his
second wife and her two children, be-
sides four children of his first wife, two
stepsons and one sister.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The heavy rains at the end of last
week put the asters practically out of
tlie running so far as this season is con-
cerned, and the change to weather colder
than normal for the season resulted in
a decrease in all cuts under glass. The
result was that Sunday morning, Septem-
ber 22, the market felt the stimulus of
decreased receipts and increased demand,
for the two always go hand in hand in
this market. "When supplies are reduced
locally they also are reduced throughout
our shipping radius, and the result is an
increase in the number of out-of-town
orders. Monday saw brisk business in
the market, especially in shipping, and
it looks as though the season now really
is open.

Among roses, American Beauty con-
tinues to be in good demand. The re-
ceipts are not large, but there is a fair
quantity in market and all orders can be
filled if received early enough in the
day. There is a good call for white
roses and these it is not always possible
to supply on late orders. Kaiserin con-
tinues to be better than Bride, but the
latter is steadily improving. Maids are
of better color than last week and all
roses are of improved substance now
that the weather is cooler. The change
brought an attack of mildew to those
growers who were not prepared to fire.

There are still considerable quantities
of asters in the market, but most of
them are so poor that the buyers will not
touch them. The result is an increased
demand fo^ carnations, the steady in-
crease in the receipts of 'which has been

somewhat checked by the cool weather.
However, every day sees increased sup-
plies and improved quality. Good En-
chantress now is to be had in practically
every wholesale house, and, as last year,
it is the variety most largely in evi-
dence. Last week there were a great
many complaints because carnations did
not ship, but this week stock is traveling
well. There always is a cry of sleepy
stock whenever we have a period of un-
seasonably warm weather like that of a
week ago, and the complaints cease as
soon as the stock hardens up under the
influence of cool nights. The buyer should
know this by this time and should not
hold the commission man responsible for
natural conditions.

Chrysanthemums of all colors may now
be had by ordering in advance. Of
course the flowers are not fully devel-
oped, but they are with almost all grow-
ers better than usual at this early date.
The violets from Ehinebeck are selling
slowly, for quality is not yet satisfactory.
There is a good demand for longiflorum
lilies and valley. A few auratums and
speciosum lilies still are seen and tube-
roses are to be had. Outdoor flowers are
past their best and selling slowly.

There is a good call for greens, espe-
cially those used for decorations, for the
autumn openings are beginning.

'Wittbold's Decorating Headqoarten.

The George Wittbold Co. has rented
a large double store at 52 and 54 Wabash
avenue as headquarters for its decorat-
ing department during the rush of fall
work. The Wittbold Co. has a number
of big jobs on hand for next week, its
part of the contract to decorate the Field
establishment for the annual opening

amounting to around $13,000. With five
or six other large jobs on hand, the com-
pany was obliged to refuse some busi-
ness of this character. The store on
Wabash avenue, which is little more
than across the street from Field's, is
this week being stocked with all sorts
of stuff from the nurseries at Edge-
brook.

Putting in Rocking Grates.

The Martin Grate Co. had a force of
men at Bassett & Washburn 's, at Hins-
dale, this week to set rocking grates un-
der four more boilers. Bassett & Wash-
burn are trying a new method of boiler
setting, recommended by the Kroeschells,
by which they expect to increase the effi-
ciency of their plant and at the same
time decrease the cost of operation. Peter
Reinberg also is puting in four more
Martin rocking grates this week.

Better Late Than Never.

It always is a pleasure to give a little
special prominence to announcements of
interesting events in the families of
gentlemen whose modesty causes them
to keep silent over the good news. This
time it was a boy, who arrived August 3
at the home of Joseph Foerster, sales
manager for George Reinberg. The
daughter has reached the mature age
of 17 months.

Ananias Doesn't Work There.

Between the green telegraphers and
the telephoning of messages from the
telegraph oflSces instead of delivering
them by messenger, some strange things
occur. For instance: Saturday Poehl-
mann Bros. Co, received a telegram by
phono calling in a perfectly intelligible

manner for quite a lot of stock; but it
ended : ' * Please buy three tutty dulls. ' '
That was the best they could make of it
after several had tried an ear at the
wire. After mature deliberation, influ-
enced possibly by the fact that a few
days before the same buyer had wired
for a cupid, they decided that "tutty
dulls" meant Teddy dolls, Teddy bears
bought at Field's were shipped, Monday
morning the telegram came in by mail —
and then the light broke. It was three
putty bulbs that were wanted.

Various Notes.

The telegraph strike still makes
trouble, the delivery service being espe-
cially poor. All messages are supposed
to be telephoned by the telegrapli com-
panies, but often are not. E, C. Amling
lost a good order from a valued custom-
er Sunday. The message showed that it
reached Chicago at 10:05 a. m. Sunday
but was not phoned, although the boys
were at the store till 2 p. m. getting out
orders, and when delivered at noon Mon-
day it was too late. There arc many
such exasperating happenings.

At this season Chicago always is
crowded with visitors. The hotels have
been overflowing for the last two weeks.
The Auditorium Annex, which now has
],271 guest rooms, has been turning peo-
ple away almost nightly. The effect on
local trade is not great at this season,
but the visitors all leave money here, a
part of which will eventually find its
way to the florists.

J. A. Budlong is already cutting nice
blooms of Aristocrat on stems of fair
length for the season. They have 9,000

plants. Winsor is liked for its color, but
the stems are like those of Lawson.

John lieardon says that the local. gar-
deners have had an unusually busy Sep-
'tember raking leaves. The dry weather
of the summer, together with the unusu-
ally large number of insects which it
developed, caused the trees to lose their
foliage earlier than usual this season.

E. H. Hunt reports an unexpectedly
large demand for wild smilax for the
fall opening decorations, which seem to
be coming on a little earlier this year.

Frederick Sperry is at home from
Colorado. He has not yet fully recov-
ered from the accident in which the
horse he was riding fell upon him. His
hand still shows the hoof -shaped scar
from the bad cut he received. He left
Mrs. Sperry in Colorado.

A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry,
is visiting eastern business connections
this week.

Ned Washburn, son of C. L. Washburn,
returned to Madison this week for his
final college year.

Peter Reinberg has Iiis new range of
eight houses on the farm completed and
planted with carnations.

The trade will learn with sincere re-
gret that Edgar Sanders has failed rap-
idly in the last few days and that his
demise is thoupht to be little more than
a question of days.

Wietor Bros, are cutting well-finished
blooms of October Frost, which is the
earliest white mum to reach this mar-
ket. Their Monrovia also is good. N. J.
Wietor says the buyers take well to the
Joe Hill rose.

C. W. McKellar is busy this week tak-

ing in a lot of ribbons and chiffons
bought on his recent eastern trip.

George Reinberg 's store has been re-
decorated this week and now is in com-
plete shape for the fall business.

During the summer the Benthey-Coats-
worth Co. has made a change in its heat-
ing apparatus at the New Castle plant.
The main flow pipe has been taken out of
the trench across the range and has been
placed overhead. The improvement
sought is not in the circulation of steam,
but in the evenness of temperature
throughout each house.

E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
says that he does not agree with the gen-
eral view that hardy cut ferns will be
plentiful this season. He says he looks
for an even greater shortage than last
year, especially as he says the greater
the demand, usually the poorer the ferns
keep.

Weiland & Risck have a grower who
has just begun sending them tuberoses,
two months later than usual, but he now
will have supplies until Christmas.

Sam Pieser, who formerly had a retail
flower store on North Clark street, is
now with the Royal Co., with headquar-
ters in the Auditorium Annex, and takes
pleasure in showing the florists who drop
in upon him imported cigars that sell
as high as $1 apiece.

A number of north end growers were
present last week to see the test of the
new heating system at Peter Reinberg 's
Summerdale establishment September 21.
A brief note of the results will be found
in the Greenhouse Heating Department
of this issue.

The A. L. Randall Co. reports an espe-
cially good demand for fertilizers, sheep

DETHOIT.

The Market.

Busineaa seems to be brightening up a
Jittle, but not so much as might be ex-
pected. There is ao occasional spurt of
funeral work, and theu all is still again.

Stock in general is poor; this is es-
pecially true of roses. These are bring-
ing from 4 cents to 8 cents ; it is w ith
the 4-cent grade that the trouble lies, as
these are hardly worth the money. Some
pretty fair carnations are coming in
•daily and meeting with good demand.
At present the best price has been l^^
cents. "With the exception of Lawson,
the stems are long enough for ordinary
use. Asters seem to be on their last
notch. Good whites are getting scarce,
now that funeral work is commencing.
"The colored varieties are also none too
plentiful. This is a sad condition of
:aflfairs, as it will be some time Iwfore

we shall have chrysanthemums to use in
work.

Lilies remain well cleaned up. Lily of
the valley is also in good demand. Snap-
dragon, larkspur, salvia flowers, etc., can
be had without any trouble. Green is
quite plentiful.

Home Garden Day.

September 18 and 19 were celebrated
as Home Garden day in the Detroit
public schools. Each spring the Twen-
tieth Century Club, a society of women,
distributes seeds among the children in
the public schools, and prizes are
awarded in the following autumn to the
six schools making the largest and best
displays of flowers, etc. This year a new
feature was added. Boston ferns were
given as prizes to two children in each
school who had the largest and best col-
lection of flowers raised from the seeds
distributed by the club. Many of the
children also received honorable mention
in the papers for some especially \v(>ll
grown plant or nicely made set piece. Of
the latter there were many, and sonic of
them looked very professional.

This year's honors were carried off by
the Sill, Logan and Gillis schools, on the
west side, and the Fairbanks, Dickinson
and Thomas schools, on the east side. A
special prize was awarded the Amos
school, as its exhibit compared favorably
with that of the Gillis school. The
judges this year were W. B. Brown, Al-
bert Pochelon, Hugo Schroeter, E. A.
Scribner, J. F. Sullivan and Walter
Taepke.

Qtib Meeting.

A well attendetl meeting of the Flo-

rists' Club was held September 18. Thi^
was the first regular meeting since Aug-
ust 7. A hearty vote of thanks was
given the entertainment committee for
the well managed outing to Bois Blanc
park. The donors of prizes were also
given a vote of thanks.

The election of officers was held, with
the following result: President, E. A.
Scribner ; vice-president, Thomas Browne,
of Greenfield; secretary, J. F. Sullivan;
treasurer, Walter Taepke. The latter
two served last year and were reelected
by a unanimous vote. Albert Sylvester
was appointed librarian.

As the election had already been put
off for two meetings, the new oflBcers
immediately went into commission. The
retiring president, William Dilger, was
given a warm vote of thanks for his
faithful service, and on recommendation
of one of the members he was given
three cheers.

President Scribner said that it would
l>e hard for him to make any kind of a
showing this year, following so closely
on the heels of Mr. Dilger, whose plan-
ning had accomplished much toward the
success of the club. However, he prom-
ised to do all in his power to make the
coming year a banner number in the
history of the club's affairs. He ear-
nestly asked for the aid of the members
in all matters, stating that it was "up
to them. ' '

Convention matters were next dis-
cussed. Robert Unger was pleased with
the Horticultural hall, in Fairmont park.
He said it was like meetisg old, nearly
forgotten friends, to see the old vari-
eties of plants and jBowers. Thomas
Browne thought the convention a most

successful one. A visit to C. W. Ward 's
place, at Cottage Gardens, and to the
Dailledouze greenhouses, at Flatbush, im-
pressed Mr. Browne very much. Robert
Rahaley naturally was more interested
in the commission houses. He was much
impressed with the businesslike appear-
ance of the establishment of the S. S.
Pennock-Meehan Co., where a force of
about thirty-two men is kept busy. He
stated that the establishment of the
Leo Niessen Co. is the best equipped
place he had ever seen. Phil Breitmeyer
spoke of the artistic arrangement of the
entrance to the convention hall. He said
that the majority of people only notice
the improved things at an exhibition.
J. F. Sullivan was probably the only
Detroiter who attended all the meetings
of the society. The general hospitality
impressed him very much. William Dil-
ger took much interest in the parks in
the east. He is still of the opinion that
our own Belle Isle pa^rk needs but a few
hills to put it ahead of them all.

The secretary was instructed to write
a letter of thanks to Dreer's establish-
ment, in Riverton, thanking the firm for

A. L. Barnett, of New York, was an
interested N-isitor at the meeting.

VariotM Notes.

Murray T. Patterson and his mother
have returned from a most pleasant trip
to Europe. With the exception of the
outward voyage, which was marred by
seasickness, they enjoyed the trip im-
mensely.

Beard Bros, have just finished the job
of putting in a new boiler and shifting

the old one. This firm is already cutting
some really good carnations.

E. J. Fancourt, of the Pennock-Mee-
han Co., spent several busy days in De-
troit last week.

The date for the annual outing to
Mount Clemens is to be announced at
the next meeting of the club.

The question of getting the bulk of
the stock to the Detroit commission
houses earlier was brought up at the last
club meeting and, after a somewhat
lengthy discussion, the growers promised
to do all they could to eliminate this
trouble. Already some stock is arriving
at an earlier hour. This change will
benefit not only the retailer, but the
grower and the wholesale houses as well.
The business of many of the dealers does
not warrant the keeping of a large stock
on hand at the present time; therefore
they depend almost entirely on this stock.

G. H. Taepke had one of the largest
wedding jobs of the season last week.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

During last week and the beginning of
this one there was a little more life
among the retailers and some of them
had their hands full with funeral work,
which made white flowers in good de-
mand. The west end florists have booked
a number of orders for October wed-
dings. The Veiled Prophet's ball Octo-
ber 1 should use up a good bit of first-
class stock in American Beauties and
other flowers, more so this year, owing
to the fact that President Roosevelt will

be in attendance. The decorations on
this occasion by C. Young & Sons Co.
will be the best in recent years. Nearly
all of our society people have returned
from summer resorts and the retailers are
looking for a more steady demand in all
lines.

Stock is looking better every day, and
especially so with roses. A few hot days
last week made them soft and open and
of little use for any kind of work, Rich-
mond and Killarney being noted for this.
Bride and Maid came in better, also
pink and white Cochet. Extra fine Car-
not and Kaiserin are in demand. Beau-
ties in all grades are selling better than
ever before at this time of the year.

Carnations are of better color, but still
too short in stem. Asters are almost
over, but sell well. Dahlias and cosmos
are coming in. Lily of the valley sells
well.

Wild sniilax is now received in large
quantities. All other greens are plenti-
ful.

Horticultural Society Meeting.

The executive committee of the St.
Louis Horticultural Society held a meet-
ing at the home of C. C. Sanders on the
Hunlej' road September 17, Harry
Young occupied the chair. There were
present F. H. Meinhardt, Theo. Miller,
A. Jablonsky, O, G. Koenig. F. C. Web-
er, J. Steidle, Alex Waldbart, A. Nich-
olson and C. C. Sanders. Plans were
laid for the coming flower show, includ-
ing the final premium list. The hall
committee reported that it had secured
the new hall, which is about finished, be-
longing to the United Railways Co.,

the railway company furnished free of
charge. The dates of the show are No-
vember 12 to 15. The final premium
list will be out some time next month
and will contain a number of valuable
prizes in all classes, including the $500
Shaw prizes, which are always a good
attraction.

With the free rent of the hall, which
has always been the greatest expense,
the show should be a financial success
this year. After the meeting the mem-
bers, including Mrs. Miller, Miss Mein-
hardt, Mrs. Koenig and Mrs. Sanders,
sat down to a nice lunch furnished by
their host and hostess.

Various Notes.

Mrs. A. C. Canfield, of Springfield,
111., was a visitor last week, making
the rounds of the commission houses,
and reports stock at their place in fine
shape for a big cut this season.

Adolph Fehr, of Belleville, 111., found
time during the busy fair week to come
to the city to place orders for stock for
a number of weddings he has on hand
this week. He has a good word for
Canna King Humbert, which he says is
the finest red now in the market.

Charles Kuehn visited his friend, Fred
Ammann, at Edwardsville, last week, and
reports that his roses and carnations are
in better shape than ever.

At the county fair held at Belleville,
111., last week, the St. Clair Floral Co.
made a fine display of plants and cut
flowers. President Halstead, of the firm,
was on hand in person.

W. C. Smith visited his Kirkwood
consignors last week and reports that

Hugo Gross, W. J. Pilcher, H. Niemeyer,
A. Scheidegger, R. Wolfsberger and oth-
ers have fine violet and carnation plants,
from which great things are expected
this fall and winter. The bulk of the

The Rising Eastern Market.

Tlie opening of the fall season for
outdoor sports has produced its effect on
the cut flower market. While flowers
were not used either at the Bryn ilawr
horse show or the international cricket
match, these events brought society homo
from the seashore and the mountains,
and with society home once more enter-
taining in a small way has commenced.
The department stores have been open-
ing other departments, and the shipping
demand, a most important feature of
this market, has increased. Conditions
have been further aflPected by some ex-
traordinarily heavy rains, reducing the
shipments of outdoor flowers on wet days.
Wild smilax has been in hea\-y demand,
a clear indication that the decorating sea-
son is well under way.

growers, the result being a scarcity of
white roses on several days, as there are
few Brides equal to market requirements.
Killarney continues better than Maid
daring this warm month. Beauties are
iq good demand, especially the fancy
grade, of which many more could be
uded. The short-stemmed stock is at
times overdone. Orchids are becoming
much more plentiful, cattleyas being es-
pecially fine. Carnations are more abun-
dant. There is some demand for gladi-
oli. Easter lilies are nearly over. There
is little call for greens.

But what of asters and dahlias! Dah-
lias really rule the market today, where
handsome flowers are wanted for effect.
The quantity of choice varieties has
never been excelled, it being possible to-
day to secure many blooms of any one of
the finest sorts, and the market, or, more
properly speaking, the critical buyer, is
taking advantage of this condition to
elevate the standard of the public and
create a demand for the very best. As-
ters, chiefly from distant points, are of
superb quality, the white Ostrich Plume
and a soft pink being exceptionally fine.
Locally grown asters are nearly over,
much of the stock being short-stemmed,
and selling at reduced prices.

Wyndmoor.

Myers & Samtman have decided to
name their new cheerful pink rose Wynd-
moor, after the small town made famous
as a great rose-producing center. It will
be remembered that this rose scored
eighty-one points before the American
Rose Society at Washington last March
and that its certificate has been awaiting
the choice of a name before being award-
ed.

A visit to the firm's rose-growing es-
tablishment, showing Wyndmoor in its
glory, will long be remembered. The
plants, some 3,000 in all, had been grow-
ing in the tables. During the early
stages they were planted close together
and replanted July 12 in the house where
they are to spend the winter, the stock
being then about equal to good 4-inch
pot plants. These plants lost no time
in growing and bloom so freely that Mr.
Myers believes Phil's reputation for
veracity would suffer were he to give the
exact figures. SuflSce it to say, how-

The lace-like fronds of this grand fern are the

ever, that September 19, not quite ten
weeks after the plants had been planted,
they were in full crop, averaging four
or five medium-stemmed buds to a plant
and looking the picture of health and
vigor. The impression created by seeing
Wyndmoor on this day is that this rose
can be handled advantageously on any
place without regard to its size or soil.

Two Interestiag Poiott.

Two papers that have recently ap-
peared in the columns of the Review are
of more than ordinary interest. Both
are ably written, by specialists on sub-
jects of which they have made a thor-
ough study, and both contain many
points well worth learning.

* ' The Philosophy of Wholesaling, ' ' by
Charles E. Meehan, read before the Phil-
adelphia Florists' Club, which appeared
in the Review of September 5, has a

point worthy of debate. In this paper
Mr. Meehan gives it as his belief that
the retailer would be benefited by buying
in larger quantities from the wholesaler
instead of ordering small lots of a certain
variety during the day. While this may
be true, it appears to be a weakness of
the argument in favor of the concentra-
tion of large quantities of flowers. The
very fact that the city retailer has at
his door a source of almost unlimited
supply encourages him to place risk of
depreciation or loss on the wholesaler
rather than take it himself.

The second paper, read by F. C. W.
Brown, manager of the Rosery, Toronto,
before the Canadian Horticultural As-
sociation in convention at London, Ont.,
August 29, appeared in the Review of
September 12. After giving some most
valuable suggestions as to the manage-
ment of retail shops, Mr. Brown, who it

will be remembered was the manager for
J. J. Habermehl's Sons at the Bellevue-
Stratford in this city, criticisea the grow-
ers for asking high prices for the first
blooms of chrysanthemums, for instance,
when this price cannot be maintained,
and, he adds, frightens away flower buy-
ers from the retail stores. This argu-
ment has been made by buyers for many
years and as the market increases its
fallacy becomes more evident. The stock
offered is perishable and must be sold
soon after it reaches the market. With
these facts in mind, it is self-evident that
the first stock will not bring more than
the buyers are willing to pay, for, let us
say, advertising purposes. They have
no orders for the flowers, being the
first, therefore are not obliged to buy
excepting for display. Hence to say
that when we know there are only a doz-
en flowers of a certain variety in the
market, with perhaps half a dozen buyers
willing to take them, these flowers should
bring exacti}' the same price as when
there are a hundred dozen in the mar-
ket, with more than enough to go around,
is clearly a mistake. Would it not be
better to tell a customer who is willing
to pay a fancy price for the first blooms
that the stock is limited, or, as Mr.
Brown cleverly states it, would it not be
better to sell carnations to a carnation
customer rather than endeavor to sell
him orchids? An incentive in the way
of greater remuneration is absolutely nec-
essary if we wish earlier and longer sea-
sons for any variety of flowers.

A Dahlia Farm.

A wee small voice was heard to say
that the most progressive paper really
ought to say something about dahlias. It
was not the voice of conscience, but of a
friend over the telephone, who thougtit
Phil ought to visit Atco. It was Phil's
half holiday, and especially prized on ac-

count of the cricket match at Manhcim,
but the wee small voice was success-
ful, because it really is necessary to give
up international cricket matches some-
times if you want to keep in the lead.
So to Atco, iNcw Jersey, Phil repaired,
reaching tuere in due time, despite the
delaying efforts of numerous thundering
expresses, laden with visitors to the sea,
for whose benefit the local was repeat-
edly sidetracked. These slight draw-
backs were entirely forgotten in the
genial welcome of David Herbert, who
was waiting at the Atco station with
horse and buggy. Mr. Herbert was apol-
ogetic at the absence of his son, William
C. Herbert, who, he modestly insisted,
was the man to see. Phil could not help
feeling that he was in very good com-
pany indeed, and could not help enjoy-
ing his visit hugely, despite the absence
of Mr. Herbert, Jr. The gleanings of a
pleasant two hours are as follows:

David Herbert & Son have seventy-five
acres of land devoted to dahlias exclu-
sively. They commenced business Jan-
uary 2, 1906, and in the space of a year
and a half, or a little more, have thor-
oughly overhauled their plant and fields,
putting them in the best of running con-
dition. The greenhouses were entirely
rebuilt on brick foundations; the boiler,
packing and storage sheds were com-
pleted and enlarged; the water system
was entirely remodeled, a new and larger
tank being elevated ; a. new gasoline en-
gine was installed; the steam heating
system was relaid, the saving in coal
being fifty per cent over that of the pre-
vious year, a fact that speaks volumes
for tight roofs and sound greenhouses
and for properly laid steam pipes.

While speaking of steam heating, it
may be of interest to say that a bitter
cold night came on before the work was
finished. Mr. Herbert, who was away,
rushed back to Atco, fearing the dahlia

roots had been frozen. When he arrived
he found the foreman, Ed Young, fast
asleep in a chair in the oflBce, and — the
temperature in the houses just at the
right point. He had a right to be asleep,
as Mr. Herbert proudly exclaimed, for
he had been up all night keeping the
temperature up with oil stoves. Mr.
Young was working away for dear life,
packing dahlias to go up on the next
train, and was evidently the right man in
the right place on all occasions. Later
on he was seen at the railroad station
loading a haywagon full of empty crates
to be taken back to the farm.

crops. They are now coming into full
bloom, the shipments last week running
up to 16,000 blooms a day, while this
week on clear days they are touching 20,-
000 blooms daily. Ittiere are 136 new
varieties of various types on trial. Of
the older varieties, it is especially note-
worthy that the popular sorts, such as
Kriemhilde, pink and white; Lyndhurst,
scarlet ; Mrs. Clifford W. Bruton, yellow ;
Catherine Duer, scarlet; Nymphaea and
Sylvia, like sisters, pink and white, and
Winsome, white, are grown in quantity
to meet increasing demands. The Cen-
tury type, the large singles, are here in
force, presenting a striking picture wav-
ing in the fields. The pompons, cactus,
decorative, show, all the leading types,
have hosts of followers too numerous to
mention. A large soft pink, named John
Thorpe, was especially pleasing.

The impression created by the place
was of a business enterprise thoroughly
and systematically run in every detail.
A word of praise should be given to the
cleanliness everywhere evidenced, in
field, in packing-shed, in greenhouses.

The varieties appeared absolutely true to
name, a vacancy here and there telling
the fate of a rogue who had trespassed.
The Messrs. Herbert are making a spe-
cialty of roots, believing them preferable
to extensive propagation from cuttings.

his variety was Monrovia, a good yellow.
They were sold September 20.

band of particularly expert growers who
are careful to carry out his instructions

NEV YORK.

The Market.

Commencing Saturday and lasting un-
til Monday night, it rained almost con-
tinuously. Business and the weather
are in harmony. Even Beauties are
abundant and few reach the top quota-
tions. Nearly everything else in the rose
department is short-stemmed and open
and it is difficult to dispose of anything
at fair prices. Even the outlet through
the street merchants is dammed and the
atmosphere in the wholesale marts is
gloomy and depressed. Everyone is
praying fo» a good frost and the de-
struction of the outdoor competition.

There seems to be no end of the aster
supply. Amateurs have had a lesson that
may prove beneficial another year. When
great heaps of the stock are sold for
$1 a hundred bunches, and lots of it
thrown out altogether, it would seem
unnecessary to suggest to growers the
need of having the best or nothing in
the aster line to send to the New York
market. The same applies to gladioli.
For the common varieties there is no
sale except at cut rates, which means
less than cost, but for the best kinds
there is a constant demand and values
hold splendidly.

Few carnations are satisfactory. Stems
are short and flowers are small. Violets
are here almost a month ahead of any
possible demand. Saturday and Sunday
they dropped to 50 cents and $1 a thou-
sand. Forty boxes a day already are
coming in. When one of the growers up
state begins to ship, the rest follow on
as fast as they can and so the menace
of premature enterprise is with us.

Orchids are received in variety and
quantity and prices are reasonable.

Dahlias are improving daily in qual-
ity. Valley and lilies hold their ad-
vanced prices.

Various Notes.

Anton Schultheis is back from Europe
and Will Siebrecht will be home this
week. These are the valley kings of
the east.

The dahlia show at the American In-
stitute began Tuesday and lasts three
days. There is also a fine general ex-
hibit of other flowers, plants and fruits.

All this week at Mineola the big an-
nual fair will be in progress and the flo-
rists of Long Island will make extensive
displays.

The next meeting of the Florists'
Club will be held October 14. There
will be an illustrated lecture by Mr.
Nash, of the New York Botanical Gar-
dens, and an exhibition of flowers and
plants that will make the new rooms
homelike and attractive. Before the
meeting it is hoped to have a bowling
club established, President Totty being
anxious to leave this as one of the heri-
tages of his administration, even if the
home inspiration is postponed.

Joseph Millang, of the Cut Flower
Co., is getting some fine Winsor carna-
tions from the big Scarboro houses, the
advance guard of an enormous anticipat-
ed supply.

and the heavier the plant the tighter the clutch.

value of plantfe from 60 to 100 per cent.

Geo. B. Hart.

Dear Sir:— Hart's Handy Handle makes a basket
out of a fluwer pot without having to transfer the plant
to a basket. We used a lot of them last Easter c n aza-
leas and other blooming plants, and decorated the pots
and handles, and the effect was the same as a basket,
and sold well, as the expense was much 1(>sb than using
^^ baskets and the effect was just as good. They are good
^^-^ any time of year and, unlike baskets, they don't get shop-
worn. Yours truly, Salter Brothers, Florists.

the last ten days at his old home in
Ehinebeck. He says the stock of violet
plants is enormous, but October 15 is
early enough for shipments and it is
suicidal to crowd the New York trade
before that date.

D. Willis James, of Madison, N. J.,
died at his summer home in New Hamp-
shire last week. Under William Duck-
ham 's superintendency Mr. James ' estate
at Madison was developed into one of the
most beautiful country places in America.

Eobert G. Wilson is a busy man, com-
pleting his greenhouse establishment on

Green avenue, Brooklyn, which he has
rebuilt, installing concrete benches, the
invention of his brother, and so making
the plant practically everlasting. A
great many of the Long Island growers
have visited Mr. Wilson's place and at
once decided to adopt these benches. Mr.
Wilson has had many wedding decora-
tions this month, and one for $500 this
week at the Brich mansion and last week
one at Mount Vernon.

The latest outside enterprise under-
taken by a florist is that of Joseph

JUST READ IT!

The Florists* Review says in its issue of Sept. 18, 1907 :

"The book Is noteworthy as showlnir the rapid development this house has made In
the last few years. The pagres are lOxlii and the book contains ninety-two (92) of them,
printed on the heavy calendered paper, so that the half-tone llluBtratlons show up In fine
shape. The C. C. PoUworth Co., Including the greenhouses, contaios about everyihingr the
florists of the nortiiwest require for their season's business. There are also a number of
pages devotf d to the plant department, others to bulbs, and tne body of the hook to the
supply business, which is rapidly becoming the leading feature with this firm. They handle
not only retailers' requisites, but a large line of supplies for the grower."

in his experience. A good many florists
laid in stock of palms. Some large ken-
tias brought $25 apiece. Palms are
scarce, the growers say. Siebrecht &
Son have not a kentia to offer at whole-
sale. Straws show which way the wind
blows.

Hicks & Co. found more room a Neces-
sity. Now they have the entire floor at
52 West Twenty-third street and are
busy with fast growing shipments. The
ice-box has moved into the yard.

Harry Hoffmeir, of Eighty-third street
and Broadway, has been busy with the
fall openings of the big stores, especially
in their millinery departments.

Paul Meconi, the latest wholesale ven-
turer, has also ventured on the sea of
matrimony, having just married Miss
May Johnson, of Brooklyn.

Ford Bros, found their big ice-box in-
adequate for the increased shipments of
the new season, and have just installed
another, almost as large, in their base-
ment. J. Austin Shaw.

WASHINGTON.

Business is on the increase. There
seem to be more early weddings this sea-
son than usual. The Saturday afternoon
wedding, since the Longworth-Roosevelt
affair, seems to be quite popular.^ It is
not so popular with the decorator, as it is
necessary to take the decorations out
the same day.

The club attended the dahlia show at
White Marsh September 18. Mr. Gude
expressed himself, with the others who
attended, as being well pleased. The
blooms in the fields were not so far ad-
vanced as last year, but the show in the
potting-shed was as fine as, if not better
than, last year. The arrangement was
excellent. The roof was a canopy of
foliage and a number of new single va^
rieties were shown and made quite a hit
with the dahlia experts. On the way
home the florists had quite a scare. As
their train was backing into a siding, a
New York train ran into the front end
of their train, reducing the engine and
tender to junk. Several were injured, but
luckily no florists among them. Ten sec-
onds would have made a different story.

F. H. Kramer went to the dahlia show
and from there to Boston.

Miss Nellie Breuninger, bookkeeper at
Gude's, has gone to the seashore for a
rest. O. O.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia,
report the crop failure of Sweet Pea
Countess of Lathom.

G. B. McVat is vice-president of the
newly -organized Birmingham Florists '
and Horticultural Society.

In Michigan the bean crop is thought
to be up to all requirements, except on a
limited number of varieties.

Light frosts in Nebraska have not yet
hurt the corn, but late varieties of sweet
corn for seed purposes are not yet safe.

The Holland bulbs seem to be giving
better satisfaction than usual this year.
Importers are busy getting out orders in
a pleasant frame of mind.

Latest advices from California are in-
dicative of better deliveries of onion seed
than were at one time thought to be
within the bounds of possibility.

The little lots of onions grown for
seed in nearly every locality where seeds-
men operate at all are reported to be
turning out quite well, as a usual thing,
and will be quite a help on next season's
supply.

The market people are discussing what
can be done ' * to restore the uniform high
quality to the Rocky Ford melons" for
next season. The opinion is that the
Rocky Ford growers and shippers are get-
ting careless.

The Azores islands crop of Lilium
longiflorum bulbs has reached this coun-
try. It is fine-looking stock and the
quantity is considerably increased over
last year; enough so that several houses
have a few to offer, after filling orders.

Alfeed Emeeich, representingVilmo-
rin, Andrieux & Co., Paris, France, will
arrive in New York Saturday, September
28, to pay his annual visit to the seed
trade. Mr. Emerich's headquarters are
with H. Frank Darrow, the firm's Amer-
ican agent.

Bailey & Sons, Salt Lake City, Utah,
who deal in grain, seeds and bags, have
incorporated with $100,000 authorized
capital stock. The officers are: Presi-
dent, J. H. Bailey; vice-president, P. E.
Banker; secretary and treasurer, S. N.
Bailey ; manager, Burt Bailey.

W. Atlee Buepee, Philadelphia, reports
a flood of orders from Europe for their
two new Spencer sweet peas, both by
mail and cable. These originated with
L. C. Routzahn, at Arroyo Grande, Cal.,
and Howard M. Earl, of the Burpee firm,
is now on the ground where the seed
stock for dissemination has been grown
this summer.

W. W. Johnson & Son, Ltd., Boston,
England, say that while this is a year
of genera] seed shortages, it will not af-
fect the regular annual increase of their
business, as larger acreages were pro-
vided for in consequence of the steady
growth of their trade. Their trade in
America has expanded more rapidly than
any other part of the business, but E. J.
Deal may not visit the United States
this year.

TWO MANY SWEET PEAS.

It would be a decided advantage to the
buying public if our American seed mer-
chants followed some such weeding out
plan in their 1908 catalogues as that
adopted by the English Sweet Pea So-
ciety, reported September 12. To list 100
to 150 varieties, as some now do, is ab-
surd. Twenty-five to thirty would as
well cover the field and prove less be-
wildering to purchasers. There may be
one or two worth retaining in the list the
English society is dropping, but at least
fifty out of the fifty-seven would be bet-
ter dropped by American seedsmen, both
to their own advantage and that of their
customers. In some catalogues for 1907
we were pleased to note a smaller and
more select list of sorts. We hope to find
it in many more another season.

to mention that the home-grown sorts
have much suffered from the unsettled
and unfavorable weather in May and
June, and therefore ■fce will this season
see greatly varying qualities; bright col-
ors will be scarce and in demand."

Referring to festucas he says: "Fes-
tuca arundinacea, elatior, the genuine
Rhenish seed which is only grown in a
small district in this neighborhood,
brought this season one-third less than
last fall, and in consequence higher
prices had to be paid to the growers. I
am already occupied with the cleaning
of my lots. The new seed is of an ex-
cellent quality, and the germination is
very satisfactory, too. The prices for
well cleaned seed are ruling favorably
considering the shortness of the crop.

"Festuca duriuscula, ovina, at the be-
ginning the outlook entitled to the best
expectations, and the owners had the best
hopes for a rich harvest. But owing to
the continued rainy weather the color of

much light ee(Hl and chaflf, so that fancy
and superfine qualities will command
higher prices than last season.

"Festuca ovina angustifolia yielded an
extraordinarily short crop, and conse-
quently was only obtainable at high
prices. The lots are now coming in and
the quality turns out satisfactory. It is
not yet possible to say anything definite
regarding the germinative power and the
result* of the cleaning of the new crop;
undoubtedly high prices have to be
charged for well cleaned qualitieti.

70 per cent. These estimates may or may
not be proved later, but one thing is be-
lieved generally by the trade, and that is
that there will be a passably fair crop of
onion seed.

** Early varieties of garden peas have
been harvested, and from many growers
come reports of quite extreme shortages,
especially in Early Alaska, Daniel
O 'Bourke and those sorts especially large-
ly used by canners; and right here I will
take space to say that many of our largest
need houses, who have for years been
large suppliers of seeds to canners, are
Bot expressing themselves as pleased
wholly with the orders of these canning
factories, and for this reason — it is a
most uneven business. A firm may sell
aeveral hundred bushels of a certain
variety of peas, let us say, for years to
eanner customers, when without warn-
ing the demand for this sort ceases, and
a surplus to be disposed of at a loss
develops. Again, in a short year like
the one we feel is coming, those same
customers who have, without reason,
turned their orders elsewhere in years
of plenty in order to, perhaps, save a
few cents a bushel, expect their r^jular
•eedsman to take care of them, even if'
no seeds are left for the seedsman's
regular trade."

SEEDSMEN'S RESPONSIBILITY.

A Nebraskan writes to the Bural New
Forker complaining that he bought seed
of Tick's Scarlet Globe radish of a local
dealer and that the crop turned out to be
worthless because the radishes were all
shapes and colors, not over five per cent
being true. Dr. W. Van Fleet makes
comment in part as follows:

* ' There ought to be substantial redress
for such betrayal of a purchaser's confi-
dence, whether or not the seeds were
guaranteed as true to name by the dealer ;
but as a matter of cold fact the dealer in
seeds has been practically relieved of all
responsibility by recent legal decisions,
when selling under the usual non-war-
ranty clause. All he is required to do, as
the law is now interpreted, is to deliver
a package bearing the name of the vari-
ety called for. The purchaser has all
risks as to crop results. All honorable
dealers, however, stand ready to rectify
obvious errors in filling orders, but do
not hold themselves liable for losses be-
yond the original purchase price.

"Seed growers appear to be held to
stricter account, as the courts claim they
are in position to know the exact nature
•f their offerings, while the dealer cannot

SEEDS OF STOCKS.

Wherein lies the vital force that makes
stocks single or double? I read that
only five per cent of single plants should
be allowed to remain ; that only the pods
on the center stem should be gathered,
and of these only the seed from the lower
half of each pod should be taken. With
all this who will guarantee his seed to
produce sixty per cent doubles? I have
tumbled into some facts which lead me to
suppose that climatic influence has much
to do with this matter. Certain amateur
growers here in British Columbia annu-
ally save their own seed. They certainly
possess fine strains. They claim that
without any care or selection their strains
improve every year, both in quality and
nundjer of doubles. Last year I under-
took to experiment. A bed of Princess
Alice was allowed to stand for seed. It
contained sixty per cent doubles. A bed
of Queen Alexandra contained fiftj' i>er
cent doubles. All the singles were allowed
to remain. This year the result is sev-
enty-five jjer cent and sixty-six j)er cent
doubles, respectively. All the singles are
again allowefl to stand. No selection
was made. All pods, except malformed
ones, were harvested. A be<l of Princess
Alice stock from imported seed was also
planted. This bed is inferior, both in
<jualit3* and quantity of doubles. It is
worthy of note that nearly all forms of
vegetation are strong on this north
Pacific coast, and many seeds saved here
are of superior quality. We have a long
growing season, an ecpiable climate, and
a jterfect summer for ripening,

BUHBANK'S THORNLESS CACTUS.

At the irrigation congress held in Sac-
ramento recently, Luther Burbank gavi!
a talk on cacti. Among other things, he
said :

' ' One-third of the earth 's surface is
desert. Nearly the whole of Australia,
except a narrow rim along the coast,
has been found to be almost useless for
any purpose except sheep raising. The
cactus which was introduced there, and
also into South America, was one of
the poorest varieties and was brought
there probably for ornament, on ac-
count of its large and luxuriant thorns,
and it has since taken possession of those
countries. It is destructive to sheep,
often getting into their eyes, and when

more than the value of the laud to eradi-
cate it.

' ' Fifteen years ago I was examining
and studying forest plants for dry re-
gions, to see what imj)rovement could be
made upon them, and it struck me that
the cactus, if the thorns could be taken
off, would be one of the best for desert
culture. I found by raising them from
seed that ninety-nine out of a hundred
would be thorny, but once in a while
one would be found that had few or no
thorns. I carefully saved the seeds from
these and, after growing thousands and
thousands of seedlings, I finally j)roduced
one that was absolutely thornless.

* ' Now, as I wished to get a cactus that
would produce a great amount of nour-
ishment, of course my first object was
to get it thornless, and next to get a
variety that would produce the greatest
quantity of forage per acre. That has
been well accomplished. I nave a cactus ;
that, set out in rows 3x6 feet, produces'
200 tons of food per acre. Twenty tons,
per acre from beets, carrots, turnips or
cabbages is considered a good crop. Some
of the older cacti Win produce as much
as 100 tons.

* ' The cactus is not as nutritious as the
beet, but there is much more water in it.
By analysis some cacti produce 2Vi
per cent of starch, while others produce'
but 5-100 of 1 per cent, showing the;
difference in constituents. My object is:
to combine this great productiveness withj
great nutrition, and when that is done
my opinion is that the cactus will be
the most important plant that there is
on earth today for- arid regions. I have
taken the wild Colorado cacti, planted
them thickly in a small bed and given
then no water; then I have planted
four or five of my improved cacti in the
same bed and the improved cacti starved
the others almost to death. With the
same treatment they will grow three or
four feet in height, be in perfect vigor
and often weigh five to seven pounds
each, while the Colorado wild cacti are
drying up for lack of moisture. The abil-
ity of the improved cacti to root deeper,!
from their greater individual growth,
gives them the opportunity to strike
deeper and take the moisture up, while
the common wild cacti cannot reach it
and hence starve to death.

' ' Every animal that eats vegetation of
any kind is very fond of the cactus and
for that reason it has thorns. Otherwise
it would have been either out of exist-
ence or it would have taken some other
means to protect itself. Cows relish
<!actu8 and, when used to it, prefer it to
any other kind of fodder. It produces
good milk and is used in the Hawaiian
islands and northern Africa for that
purpose extensively. If people only
knew what cactus is and knew the bene-
fits to be derived by planting the im-
proved sorts, it would soon prove to be
the greatest thing eVer known for re-
«'laiming arid soil naturally. " G.

LETTUCE IN SOLID BEDS.

I am a new reader of the Review and
.shall be glad to have you giv« us some
information on growing lettuce in solid
beds. H.W.W.

You are lucky in having solid beds, as
lettuce is far more easily handled in them
than in raised benches. To begu» with
the sowing of the seed, these are best
sown in flats, in a rather light, free soil.
In such a soil the seedlings' are not so
apt to damp off as they would be in a
soil that is heavy and retentive. Sow
the seed rather thinly, cover lightly and
place in a house where the night temper-
ature does not exceed 45 degrees. Give
gufBcient water to settle the soil after
sowing and keep moderately moist but
not too wet, A shading of the flats is
beneficial until germination has taken
place, as it prevents drying out and ob-
viates the necessity of watering so fre-
quently. .

When large enough to handle, the littw
plants should be pricked out into flats,
allowing them a space of about two
inches each way. This gives them suffi-
cient space so that they will be large
enough to plant into the bench before
they begin to crowd one another in the
flats.

If the soil in the beds has been used
for former crops and the fertilizing prop-
erties pretty well spent, a good dressing
of manure should be forked into it pre-
vious to planting. I prefer to use ma-
nure from the cow-bams to that from the
horse stable and like to have it in a
pretty well decomposed condition, but I
would use either in preference to arti-
ficial manures, as lettuce does not seem
to take kindly to them.

In planting be careful not to set the
plants too deep in the soil. This precau-

tion saves much trouble from stem-rot,
much of which can undoubtedly be traced
to carelessness in this matter. The dis-
tance apart at which it is best to set the
plants will depend to a certain extent on
the variety grown, but as a general rule
eight inches each way will be found the
most profitable distance.

One of the most important points in
the cultivation of lettuce under glass is
the watering. This part should never be
left to a careless operator but should be
intrusted to a man who knows his busi-
ness, or one who can be depended on to
do as he is told. Bright days only should

be selected for the application of water
and it should be so applied that as little
as possible will get on the foliage, or
into the hearts of the plants. Always
apply water in the morning, just as soon
as the sun heat has begun to tell on the
temperature of the house, as this allows
the longest possible time for the moisture
to become dried up before closing down
time arrives. When watering is done, it
should be done liberally, so as not to
have to do it the more often. Solid beds

retain the moisture much longer than a
raised bench would and water' should not
be given every time that they appear a
little dry on the surface. It is always a
safe plan to find out the condition of the
soil a few inches below the surface and
make sure that water is necessary before
it is applied.

Next in importance is airing, and care
should be taken that the ventilators are
opened, be it ever so little, on every pos-
sible occasion, as much of the success of
the crop depends on the sweetness of the
atmosphere and guarding against conden-
sation. If the house is allowed to sweat
and the condensation allowed to settle on
the foliage, it creates a congenial condi-
tion for the development of fungous dis-
eases, but with proper attention to wa-
tering and airing the trouble from such
diseases can readily be reduced to a min-
imum. The surface of the soil should be
frequently stirred to keep it sweet and
no decayed or yellow leaves should be al-
lowed to remain on the plants.

If a leaf lettuce is desired, the best to
grow is Grand Rapids. This is the easi-

LETTUCE AND TOMATOES.

I have two small houses, 10x50 feet, in
pot ferns, which I expect to be rid of
by January 15, and I thought of filling
the benches with soil and planting lettuce.
When should Grand Rapids lettuce be
sown, to have them ready to plant early
in January? Later I want to plant to-
matoes. When should these be sown, to
get fruit ripe a little before the outside
tomatoes come in? Is Comet the best
forcing tomato ? J. M.

Lettuce seed of the Grand Rapids vari-
ety should be sown three or four weeks
before the plants are wanted for the
houses in which they are to mature. If
your houses will not be ready before Jan-
uary 15, plant the seed between Decem-
ber 10 and December 15. The seeds
should be sown in shallow flats, in a
light, sandy soil, which should be sifted
and fresh from a new pile, not previ-
ously used inside. Press the soil flrmlr

A* a forcing Cucumber b one of the largest and most
profitable crops of the Market Gardener, it is essential
that the very oest possible strain should be sown.
With this idea in view we have made selections for the

Est few years from our Kawson's White Spine, which
ve resulted in a strain about two inches looKer and
a darker green in color, with a few light spines showing
at blossom end. Tbia new strMin we confidently
believe to be aaperior to any other on the market.
The results we have had at our own greeuhouses with
die stock conclusively prove the above to be true. H

into the corners of the box and around
the edges; then smooth it perfectly and
press it down lightly with a square board
not much lower than the edge of the box.
The seed should be covered thinly and
watered very carefully. Keep the soil
.just moist; if overwatered, the entire lot
may damp off and be lost.

The tiny plants should be transplanted,
when only a few days old, into other
boxes, putting the plants about an inch
or an inch and a half apart. There
they will make nice, bushy plants by the
time they are needed. Give the plants
plenty of fresh air and do not let them
run too warm. A temperature of 45
degrees at night and 55 to 60 degrees in
the daytime will make a nice, healthy
growth, better able to stand the diseases
to which lettuce is subject. Watering
should be light and early in the day.
Great care should be taken to prepare
a light, sandy soil, enriched with well
rotted manure. If the benches have
been used for pot plants, tear all cover-
ing from the cracks in the bottom, to
give the soil good drainage. If neces-
sary, tear up the bottom and replace it,
leaving a crack between the boards. Then
put on a good coat of whitewash. Ster-
ilized soil is excellent for lettuce.

Tomatoes require about five months
from the planting of the seed until the
plants commence to bear. They can,
however, be kept in flats and pots about
three months of this time, before bench-
ing. Comet is considered the best forc-
ing variety by many of the leading
growers. For further information on
tomatoes, see the Review of August 22,

LETTUCE IN SOLID BEDS.

I am a new reader of the Review and
shall be glad to iiave you give us some
information rm growing lettuce in solid
beds. TI.W.W.

You are lucky in having solid beds, as
lettuce is far more cusily handled in them
than in raised benches. To begin with
the sowing of the see<l, these are best
Hown in flats, in a rather light, free soil.
In such a soil the seedlings- arc not so
iipt to damp off as they would be in a
soil that is iieavy and retentive. !Sow
the seed rather tliinly, cover lightly and
place in a house where the night temper-
ature docs not exceed 4.') degrees. Give
sutticicnt water to settle tlu; -soil after
sowing and keep moderately moist but
not too wet. A shading of the flats is
beneficial until g<niunation has taken
place, as 't prcv«'iits Irving out and ob-
viates th.> nri'.--;sity of uat.TitiL' ''o fre-
quently.

When larg.: •■iiniigh to handle, the little
plants shoidd b-' pri<-k.<l out into flats,
allowing tlwin h -pac; of nbout two
inches each way. 'fins givs thmi sufh-
cient spa<'o so that, they will I'o larg.-
.>nongh to pliint mto 1h.- b.'nch before
they begin to "■tow<l ok' anolh<-r in the

flats.

would iiso .ither ni preference to arti-

In planting be .'ar.ftil not to set the
plants too iir-..(, HI tl.. <oil This xirecati-

tion saves much trouble from stem-rot,
much of which can undoubtedly be traced
to carelessness in this matter. The dis-
tance apart at which it is best to set the
jilants will tlepend to a certain extent on
the variety grown, but as a general rule
eight inches each way will be found the
most profitable distance.

One of the most important, points in
the cultivation of lettuce under glass is
the watering. This part should never be
left to a careless operator but should be
intrusted to a man who knows his busi-
ness, or one Avho can be depended on to
do as he is told. Bright days only should

be selected for the application of water
and it .should be so applied that as little
as possible will grt on the f(diage, or
into the hearts of the plants. Always
apply w.'iter in the moinitiL'', just ;is soon
as the sun lieat has begun to tell on the
teni[ier.af lire of the liouse, as this allows
the longest y)ossiblc time for tlie moisture
to become drie<l up before closing down
time arrives. When watering is done, it
should be done liberally, so as not to
hav*^ to do it the more often Stolid lieds

retain the moisture much longer than ft
raised bench would and water should not
be given every i\nu: that they a[)pear £
little dry on the surface. It is always a
s.afe plan to find out the condition of the
soil a few inches below the surface ami
make sure that water is necessary before
it is applied.

Next in importance is airing, and care
should be taken that the ventilators are
opened, be it ever so little, on every pos
sible occasion, as much of the success of
the crop depends on the sweetness of the
atmosphere and guarding against conden
sation. If the house is allowed to sweat
and the condensation allowed to settle oc
the foliage, it creates a congenial condi
tion for the development of fungous dis
eases, but with proper attention to wa
tering and airing the trouble from such
diseases can readily be reduced to a min
imum. The surface of the soil should bf
fre(piently stirred to keep it sweet and
no decayed or yellow leaves should be al
lowed to remain on the plants.

If a leaf lettuce is desired, the best t«
grow is Grand Rapids. This is the easi
est of all the varieties to handle. For »
head lettuce the Boston Market type is
the best. A selected strain of this, knowr
as the Hothouse strain, is an improve

ExtJiJHBly hot weather last week did
not ha\<^ H good effect on trade. Stock
was plentiful, but small buyers -were uot-
in (Evidence. However, the shop men
were all in good humor and rejiort more
advance orders for the late fall and early
winter than they had last year for the
same time, and the prediction is for a
good year. Among the wholesalers there
was f some complaint of shipped stock
coming in slu)wing the effects of the
heat. Koses from young stock are com-
ing in heavier every day, but. having
short stems, do not amount to much.
There were quantities of light pink asters
with short stems, which were no^t in de-
mand, but good white, which were want-
ed, \fere scarce. Lilies also have dropped
out of sight. Gladioli are still coming
in large quantities and dahlias are get-
ting better every day.

( Various Notes.

Disgruntled growers are now iWidiug
to whom they will consign, and the
houses depending on them are beginning
to know where they are and the minds
of the commission men are beiiig re-
lieved.

TTie ordinance officers have kept the
-street men in hot water the last few
flays, as they are not allowed to put any?
thing on the sidewalk, thus being pre-
vented from making the usual show.

At a stockholders' meeting of the
Amuse U Co.. of which L. 1. Neff is
president, their books matle a showing
which would have tempted almost any
'^florist to go into the amusement busi-
iless.

Mr. Holmes has joined Mrs. E, A. Wil-
liams' force of decorators; the advance
orders which they have now booked made
.help a necessity,

Jarve Smith has been down looking
iover his farm and arranging things for
•winter. He has been successful wiJi his
summer flowers and has managed to keep
fl, succession of blooming stock, all of
♦which has been good.

' Ernest Zieger is" luistling now to get
his large house in shape in order to get
i^f his decorative plants in time to take
care of his early orders. His storeroom
is almost completed.

,Mr. and Mrs. W. A, Turner, of Wil-
kinsburg, have a son.

Burglars tried to enter the home of
Will Flemm, of Breitenstein & Elemm,
Sunday night, but were not successful.
About a year ago they touclied him for
"several hundred dollars and jirobably
thought he might have saved u]> another
roll by now.

John Wyland has constructed a large
lish-pond on his place, on which he sj)ends

COULDN'T ANSWER HIS MAIL.

A subscriber in the west sends the
Sevixw a circular issued by "William
Knylc, of Hillegom, Holland, giving de-
tails as to the new carnations originated
by Alfred Giraud and for which varieties
Mr. Euyk is looking for a purchaser.
The circular begins:

"With reference to the advertisement
io the Weekly Florists' Review of
June 20, 1907, page 31, I received so
many letters that I decided to make a
circular giving the desired particulars."

When an advertiser, who offers for sale
the entire stock of a new plant, gets so
many applications for details that he
cannot answer them all by letter, he
ought to be pretty well satisfied with
the results from an advertisement that
cost $10, and evidently Mr. Euyk is.

Seacrer, Routiester ; Treas., C. L. Yates, Rochester.
The 88d annual oonvention will be holu at Mil-
waukee, June, 1908.

The death of Marcus Aiisley, a ven-
erable fruit grower and forni«r nursery-
man at Geneva, N. Y., is reported in the
obituary column this week.

F. W. Kelsky, New York, has issued
a unique booklet entitled "Nature Mend-
ers," intended to promote the sale of
rhododendrons, azaleas, everjjreens, bay
tVefeB, etc.

Thk Joliet Nurseries Oo., Joliet, III.,
has had a favorable season and has
adopted plans for the erection of an-
other greenhouse. Forty acres of land
will also be inclosed and prepared for
the fall and spring planting. This firm
has done a good deal of landscape work
fcrf the people of the city.

Ben J. Gage, of the landscaite depart-
ment of the Peterson Nursery, Chicago,
ha» returned from a fortnight's pleasure
trTp to Colorado. More than with
nature's wonders, he says he was im-
pressed by the character and extent of
the landscape work done at <Jen. Palm-
er's estate at Colorado Sj>riiigs.

The nursery at Huntsville, Ala., here-
tofore conducted in the name of John
Praser, has been incorporated as the
Praser Nursery Co., with an authorized
capital stock of $30,00O. .John Fraaer
is president of the new organization ;
James Fraser is vice-president, and John
Fraser, Jr., is secretary and treaHurer.

Wn^LiAM A. Petek.sok, proprietor of
the Peterson Nursery, Chicago, is active-
ly engaged in the arrahgements for a
great revival meeting which is to take
place in Chicago during the months of
October and November. The meetings
will be held in a great tent provided with
steam heat. Part of Mr. Peter.son's
ddties are concerned witli the raising of
a fund of itl5,0<)0 to carry on the r.--
vival.

AS OTHERS SEE US.

Joseph Cheal, the well-known English
nurseryman, has just returned from a
tour through Canada and British Colum-
bia, and when we had the pleasure of
seeing him a few <lays since, says the
editor of the Gardeners ' .Magazine, he
was certainly not looking any the worse
for his journey of 13,4.'il() miles. It need
hardly be said that so observant a trav-
eler as Mr. Cheal was much impressed
by the evidence of progress that he
found in various parts of Canada, and
he was more particularly struck by the
enormous extension of Winnipeg, which
now has an area of twenty squan; miles.
In his journey across the Rocky moun-
tains Mr. Cheal made a break when about
halfway across to enable him to go down
the Okanagan valley, and visit the fruit
farm initiated by Lord Aberdeen about
fourteen years ago. This was, Mr. Cheal
states, practically th<> commencement of
the fruit-growing industry in British Co-
lumbia. The estate is now managed
by a company, and the 13,000 acres are
being cleared, divided into farms, and
plante(l wjth fruit trees. These farms
are being let and sold to settlers, while

utes, our actual knowledge of plant dis-
eases, the best methods of combating
them and the progress that has been
made, together with a suggestion or two
as to some improvements tliat may be
expected in the future. In accepting the
invitation I was fully aware that I could
not in so short a time begin to cover so
much ground with a suflBcient degree of
thoroughness to give an adequate idea
even of the most important bearings of
pathology on horticulture, but I conclud-
ed that the committee must have had in
mind that I would use their request as an
illustration of the greatest failing, not
only in pathological investigation but in
the application of methods recommended
for the control of diseases; namely, too
much haste and lack of thoroughness.
These are failings incident to work in a
new country under great pressure, where
the field is large and the workers few.
There has been a good measure of eco-
nomic justification for the mistakes of
the past, and they are teaching us valu-
able lessons for our guidance in the fu-
ture. "What we need now to do is to care-
fully study these successes and failures
and determine as accurately as may be
possible their causes, as a basis for im-
proved practice. The old conditions are
rapidly changing; the new times require
more careful and intensive methods.

Varieties Unsttited to Climate.

One-crop farming, too short and un-
wise crop rotations, improper methods of
fertilizing and culture, with destruction
of humus and the life and fertility of the
soil, careless methods of propagation and
seed selection, the use of varieties not
adapted to soil and climate, or other lim-
iting conditions, are responsible for loss
from diseases in a larger degree than is
realized. An orange, a plum, or peach,
or apple, or any other tree or shrub,
whose cambium responds to a few warm
days in winter or early spring, is not a

safe variety to plant in localities where
such warm periods occur. Plants of
northern range, accustomed to respond
to lower initial heat stimulus, are thus
subject to winter injury in more south-
ern latitudes. On the other hand, plants
of southern range planted north start
later, are less subject to late frosts, but
may be injured by early frosts. "These
cold injuries are often hardly noticeable,
but they are suflScient to weaken the
plant and open the way for trunk cank-
ers and numerous other parasitic diseases
which the trees could otherwise resist.

Varieties Unsuited to SoiL

A soil slightly too acid or alkaline for
a particular variety, though not enough
to prevent growth, may nevertheless
weaken the root system and, in fact, the
whole plant, making it subject to serious
disease. So, also, the moisture or tem-
perature fluctuations of the soil and its
aeration may be unfavorable to a par-
ticular variety, making it less resistant
to disease, if not actually causing a path-
ological condition in itself. Too little at-
tention has been given to these factors
by the farmers and horticulturists, as
well as by the pathologists.

An important duty in this new century
will be to develop a better appreciation

and more accurate understanding of the
relation of these factors to health and
disease. The cropping system of a farm
or orchard, the planting of a nursery or
a park, to be satisfactory and successful
in securing healthy growth, must be un-
dertaken only after a careful considera-
tion of all these factors involved. Like
the architect, the horticulturist and the
farmer must have a carefully thought-out
plan and as nearly as possible see the
end from the beginning.

ACACIAS.

For planting on dry hillsides in Cali-
fornia there are no better trees than Aca-
cia mollissima and A. melanoxylon. Three
years ago I planted two A. mollissima on
a very dry hillside in July, expecting to
later give them one or two waterings, as
it was late in the season and the ground
already rather dry. Through accident
this was not done; nevertheless the trees
took hold and have since made an excel-
lent growth. Melanoxylon has done about
as well under similar conditions. The
great beauty of mollissima when in bloom
is well known, and the delicate, fernlike
foliage is universally admired. I wonder
if it is equally well known that this tree
supplies excellent firewood? An old tree
that was blown down by a winter gale
was cut into firewood and I found it
fully equal if not superior to blue gum.
In places where the blue gum is used so
freely as to become monotonous — and
there are many such — I believe Acacia
mollissima can be recommended as not
only more beautiful but of nearly equal
economic value. O. B. L.

OUTDODR ROSES FOR CUTTING.

Should we be favored this year with
our usual mild winter and warm autumn,
a bed of outdoor roses is a desirable ad-
dition to any grower's stock of cut flow-
ers. Roses, if they have been dried out
in the summer, wUl, by the addition of
moisture, cultivation and a heavy mulch-
ing of manure, give a succession of flow-
ers from the first part of October to
Christmas. If the plants have been wa-
tered to a considerable extent during the
summer, they will not begin to flower as
freely with the advent of recultivation as
if they were dormant.

It makes but little difference whether
the roses are on their own roots or
whether they are budded or grafted. It
is a good plan, however, to plant all
grafted roses deep enough in the soil so
that roots can be freely made from the
union. As only strong-growing kinds
are of any use to plant for this purpose,
they should be well pruned along the
lateral branches, so that the shoots vrill
have a tendency to grow erect and
strong. Hybrid perpetual roses are the
strongest growers and produce the long-
est and stiffest stems. There are a few
teas, however, that can be depended on
to give quantities of blooms.

Of the white sorts, I have found Mme.
Alfred Carrier and Gloire Lyonnaise to
be the best for the purpose. They should
be heavily pruned and will give quanti-
ties of large, erect flowers that, if the
weather is favorable, will compare favor-
ably with indoor stock. Of yellows, the
old-fashioned Safrano is the best of the
late bloomers. Marie Van Houtte can
also be depended on for a goodly quan-
tity. In pink shades there is quite a
range of kinds. La France, Testout and
Mrs. John Laing have proven to be the
most desirable, and Duchess de Brabant
and Papa Gontier are easily the best tea
roses to plant. In brighter shades, Jacque-
minot is an old stand-by, but it will

not give the quantity of flowers that can
be had from Ulrich Brunner or Liberty.
The former produces flowers almost as
good as those from under glass. Cecil
Brunner is also a good autumn and win-
ter flowering variety.

The quantity and quality of the flow-
ers produced by any of the roses outside
during the fall and winter depend to a
great extent on the weather, but it does
not take many blooms usually to repre-
sent quite a quantity of dollars in the
winter time. AH the varieties mentioned
are equally good bloomers in the spring
and will produce heavily at the two sea-
sons provided they are given a good rest
in the summer, plenty of enrichment and
care taken in the pruning. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Flowers are scarcer than they have
been for several months. There is a
shortage of everything. Asters are over
for this year and chrysanthemums are
not yet in full supply. Carnations still
are being brought into town with short
stems, from the freshly planted stock,
but they are daily showing better form
and color. The price has not advanced
and the demand is good, especially for
whites. A few good roses are being
shown, of the pink sorts, but Beauties
and good white varieties are not to be
had unless the dealers are satisfied with
short-stemmed material.

Violets have dropped in price to $1 per
dozen bunches, but they are not of ready
sale, owing to the fact that the weather
haa been unfavorable both to their grow-
ing and keeping. With longer and cooler
nights we can expect plenty of flowers
in a few weeks. Sweet peas are in fair
demand, but they are invariably short-
stemmed and are being used principally
in funeral work.

Business has been good, considering the
season, for the last two weeks and there
has been a stiff demand for almost every-
thing. The growers are, however, still
practically between seasons and a full
supply of the ordinary lines of stock
cannot be expected for several weeks.
Valley is plentiful and has been closer
cut than at any time this season. .Jap-
anese lilies are out of season, with the
exception of a few auratums. Over in

by all the retail dealers.

SUMMIT, N. J.

An event of special interest to the
trade took place at Newark September
18, when Harry O. May and Miss Char-
lotte M. Jenkinson were married at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Richard C. Jenkinson, in the pres-
ence of 100 friends.

The ceremony took place under an arch
of ferns and palms, filled in with white
roses. The whole of the first floor was
festooned with wild smilax, ferns and
palms, and the parlor and library were
banked with white roses, the dining-room
with pink roses on the mantel and in the
center of the table. The billiard room
was also decorated with white roses. The
bride carried a bouquet of orchids, gar-
denias and valley. The bridesmaids, one
of whom was Mr. May's sister, carried
bouquets of La France roses.

Mr. and Mrs. May left that evening
for Rangeley, Me., where they have taken
a bungalow for a month. After their
return they will live at 41 Pine Grove
avenue. Summit, in a new house built es-
pecially for the young couple by Mr.
May's father.

Harry O. May is well known in the
trade as a skillful rose grower, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. John N. May and the
treasurer of the American Rose Society.

Lyons, La.. — Mrs. M. S. Eaton has
leased her greenhouses to Ernest Bather

Madison, N. J. — The twelfth annual
flower show of the Morris County Gar-

MONTREAL.

The Market.

Business is quickly picking up. There
have been an unusually large number of
weddings this month, the orders for them
being well divided among us all.

Flowers are more abundant. There are
still dozens of asters in all the stores,
roses are beginning to look better, and
some Enchantress carnations from the
west are good indeed, though not plenti-
ful. Some of the mums in the green-
houses of Hall & Bobinson are open and
ready for cutting.

Various Notes.

The Montreal horticultural show was
held in the Victoria rink. On account of
the wet weather prevailing at the time,
the attendance was not good, though the
exhibits were fine.

We have yet another florist in our
midst. Miss Carmichael, who waa in J.
Bennett's store for a number of years,
has opened one for herself, with her sis-
ter as assistant. It is situated on St.
Catherine street west, midway between
the stores of Mr. Bain and P. McKenna
& Son.

Hall & Robinson's store was beauti-
fully decorated this week, and many
pleasing remarks were heard about the
interior of the etore as well as the win-
dow. Their new greenhouses are nearly
finished.

W. Gray is now in the wholesale busi-
ness for himself and reports everything
to be very good.

Miss K. Campbell has returned from
a few weeks' trip to Buffalo. Miss Legg
is with Campbell 'q again and they are
now ready for the fall rush.

Frank McKenna has returned from
Buffalo, where he was for a few days.

Tommy.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA.

Under the name of the Birmingham
Florists' and Horticultural Society, the
florists of the city have organized and
will give two semi-annual shows. The
membership is open to all florists, land-
scape and park gardeners and the object
is the exchange of ideas in growing, as
well as to inspire the amateur and fur-
nish him with information. The member-
ship is now thirty-two and the officers are
as follows: President, Hugh Seals;
vice-president, G. B, McVay; secretary,
Alex. Sawyer; treasurer, Andrew Hague.
The society will hold monthly meetings,
on the first Tuesday.

Pekin, III. — Geo. A. Kuhl will dispose
of his grocery business to devote his en-
tire time to his greenhouses.

Nephrolepis Amerpohlii~J^- f e^-a?,^,^*- f^nitTi^J^

Plume type and is certain to prove a welcome and popular variety, holding for
delicacy and gracefulness the same position among the Nephrolepis that Artian-
tum iiraclllimum does among the Maidenhair Ferns. The pinnao are so flne'y
divided that it reminds one of a piece of fine lace; the fronds are broad and of a
depth which gives them a cushion-like appearance. It forms a beautiful speci-
men and is admired by everyone who sees it. 50c each; $3.50 per dozen; $25.00

Todaa, or Filmy Vem-like N«pli-

'rolepls— This is an English introduc-
tion that has received a flrst-class certificate both from the Royal liortioultural
Society and from the Royal Botanic Society of London, and is likely to become a
most important commercial variety. While in a general way it reminds one of
an exceptionally well-grown plant of N. Elegantist-ima, It is entirely distinct from
this and all others, in its strong vet compact growth and its bold heavy foliage,

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Skptembeb 26, 1907.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL,

Albert T. Hey, president of the State
Florists' Association, who directed the
■work of preparing for the children's
flower show September 14, declares that
the results attained by the show far sur-
passed the expectations of the most san-
guine. No one, not even the florists,
believed that there was so much general
interest in the cultivation of flowers
among the people of Springfield. Mr.
Hey attributed the interest shown large-
ly to the efforts of the Woman's Club
during the early spring and summer in
getting the children of the city into the
work.

"The only mistake we made," said
Mr. Hey, "was in not providing more
accommodations for the exhibits. But
we had not the slightest idea of what we
were to get, and everyone underrated the
interest the people of Springfield were
taking in the show.

"What little mistakes were made have
only cleared the path for a show next
year. With the experience in handling
this show, the second annual flower show
should prove an event indeed."

One of those particularly impressed
with the show was James Wilson, of
Chicago, who was in charge of the judg-
ing. Mr. Wilson declared that for a
first attempt the show was the best be
had ever seen. The display of asters by
private individuals was one of the best
he had ever seen.

DULUTH, MINN.

The weather has been bad this week,
which has made trade slow.

Asters are nearly gone, but carnations
are coming in to take their place. Gladi-
oli sell well and bring a fair price.

B. G. Evans, of W. W. Seekins', is at
work after a well earned vacation, which
he spent in hunting.

W. W. Seekins takes a trip to Chicago
the end of this week, for purposes of
business and pleasure.

Victor Huot has had a fairly good
week. H. G. V.

HiLLSBORO, Tex. — Harry Beck is the
organizer of the New Southland Nursery
and Floral Co., which has made a begin-
ning by building a greenhouse 16x60
feet on Mr. Beck 's farm just outside of
town.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

Current CotnmtaU

The supply of flowers just now is big.
There are plenty of asters coming in.
Carnations in the house are in bloom.
These are good flowers, but the stems are
rather short as yet. They retail all the
way from 25 cents to 50 cents per dozen.
Nearly all carnation plants are now
housed, and what are left in the field
nre growing fairly well, owing to the
late copious rains we have had. Violet
plants are looking extremely well, so far.

Sunday, September 8, was flower day
in the cemeteries here. All report the
demand for flowers on this day as very
encouraging. It will be repeated again
next year.

Sweet peas ar» about all done for this
season. Mums are looking well and
there will be a good supply of them in
this section.

The Winsor carnations grown by Peter
Murray, the originator, at his Fairhaven
place, are in splendid shape. This is des-
tined to be a grand variety.

At the last monthly meeting of the
New Bedford Horticultural Society, held
in the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. building,
H. A. Jahn, T. White and J. McVickers
were appointed judges of the exhibition.
Six out of seven dahlia exhibits were "by
amateurs. There was a fine collection of
dahlias and gladioli. There were some
interesting addresses and discussions.

W. L.

Wethersfield, Conn. — Henry S. Gris-
wold has started in the florists' business
here.

Muskogee, I. T. — C. E. Taube, man-
ager of the Muskogee Carnation Co., has
returned from an extended visit in the
east. Mrs, Taube and daughter, Hilda,
sailed from New York September 6, for
Germany, where Miss Hilda will enter a
conservatory of music.

Minneapolis, Minn. — James Souden,
who was for many years in the flower de-
partment of the L. S. Donaldson Co.,
has opened a store of his own at 106
Sixth street south. The formal opening
was held September 14 and the store
was beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion.

Kansas City, Mo, — The People's Flo-
ral Co. has opened a new store at 821
Walnut street. The store at Twelfth
and Main streets will also be continued,
and much of the stock for the two stores
will be obtained from the company's
own greenhouses. Though Max Eller,
the proprietor, has been in business here
loss than three years, he has developed
a large trade.

The Pruningr Book.

By L. H. Bailey. Thisis the first American work
exclusively devoted to pruning. It differs from most
other treatises on this subject in that the author takes
particular pains to explain the principles of each opera-
tion in every detail. Specific advice is given on the
pruning of the various kinds of fniits and ornamental
trees, shrubs and hedges. Omsiderable snace is de-
voted to the pruning and training of grape vines, both
American and foreign. Cloth. 630 pages. lUustntrd.

Greenhoase Heating.

SLOPE OF STEAM PIPES.

We are heating our greenhouse with
steam. The pipes are four feet above the
boiler at the farther end and the returns
are six inches above at the main return.
Will any valve or trap be needed to put
the water back into the boiler! If so,
what kind? B. B. & C.

If I understand your statement cor-
rectly there should be little diflSculty in
returning the water in this system, al-
though it would be better if the returns
near the boiler were at least two feet
above it. If the returns are four feet
higher than the boiler at the distant end,
will it not be possible to lessen tne grade
in the returns and increase the vertical
drop to the main return near the boiler
to at least two feet, or two feet and a
half? This would be a great safeguard.
In any event, place a swing check valve
in the main return. If the system does
not work well, give a more complete de-
scription* of the plant and we will en-
deavor to give you further assistance.

PIPING IN PENNSYLVANIA.

I will build a propagating house at
once, 16x40 feet, ten feet to the ridge,
and exposed on all sides. I should like
to get your advice in regard to heating it
with hot water or steam. I will add
sixty feet more in the spring and will
heat from another building then.

What size of grate surface will I need
to heat to 50 degrees, with zero tempera-
ture outside, 6,600 feet of glass, ten feet
to ridge, houses 66x100 feet?

J. G. S.

If you heat the propagating house
with steam, install a 2-inch flow or riser
under the ridge and twelve 1%-inch
pipes as returns under the benches. If
you use hot water, use a 2-inch flow un-
der the ridge and twelve 2-iuch returns
under the benches, or use one of the
pipes under each of the three benches
as a supply and three as returns, thus
making three flows and nine returns in
the house.

To heat the bank of houses 66x100, it
will be necessary to install twenty-six
lines of li4-'nch pipe, supplied from a
2-inch flow under each ridge; or, if hot
water in 2-inch pipe is used, install
twenty-four 2-inch returns, to be sup-

PIPING IN MISSOURI.

I am erecting an addition to an old
house. Will you please state how much
1-inch pipe I will need for heating, as I
would like to run l^^-inch pipe for feed-
ing overhead? The new addition is 18x
36 feet. The side walls are five feet high
and it measures eleven feet and one-half
to the ridge. The house runs east and
west ; the northern exposure is all boards
up to the gutter. Both gable ends are
glass and the south side is partly glass.
I will carry twelve pounds of steam and
would like to keep the house at 60 de-
grees in zero weather. M. H.

i To heat the room ]8x.36 with steam,
■using 1-inch pipe, it will be necessary to
install seventeen returns, which can be
supplied from the ]i/4-inch flow under
the ridge. It will be well to provide
valves on some of the returns, so as to
throw them out of commission during
mild weather. L. C. C.

Will you kindly let me know if this is
intended to mean five flows and five re-

2-inch pipe were used, how much would
be required? J. Y.

If the pipe is arranged as suggested,
with two lines under one bench and three
under the other, use a flow and return
under one and a flow and two returns
under the other. To heat the same house
by the use of 2-inch pipe, ten lines of
pipe will be necessary, placing a flow
and five returns under the wide bench
and a flow and three returns under the
narrow bench. With 2-inch pipe, the
flows can be run overhead if so desired,

TEST OF HEATING SYSTEM.

Charles N. Hays is a Pittsburg heat-
ing engineer who came to Chicago for
the purpose of showing the western peo-
ple, who are large consumers of fuel,
that he can burn the western coals in a
manner to conform to the city smoke
regulations and upon an economical basis.
He purposed doing this with what is
known as the McClave system, which he
had installed in many Pittsburg plants
and which provides for the consumption
of smoke by means of automatically reg-
ulated forced draft. A set of deflecting
walls is built beneath the boiler for the
purpose of retarding the passage of the
heated gases and thereby getting the full
benefit of them. Recently Mr. Hays un-
dertook to interest the greenhouse people
north of Chicago and last week made a
test of his system under a boiler at Peter
Reinberg's which he had equipped at his
own expense for the trial. Frank S.
Peabody, president of the Peabody Coal
Co., a large producer of Illinois coals,
naturally is interested in any device for
extending the use of his grade of coal,
and was present with a number of own-
ers of near-by greenhouses. The Peabody
coal, costing $2.35 per ton, against $3.75
for Pocahontas, was used, with the re-
sult that the heating engineer figured
that on his test the McClave system pro-

duced heat for Mr. Reinberg at a cost
of slightly less than 4 mills per horse-
power per hour, and that under his old
system the cost was 6 mills per horse-
power per hour. At the same time the
eflSciency of the boiler was increased
from eighty horse-power to an average of
136 horse-power. Firing with a load of
200 pounds of coal the chimney smoked
less than half a minute, while firing with
any of the so-called smokeless coals the
duration of smoke would be several min-
utes. Laying aside the technical features
of the engineer's report of the test, he
assured Mr. Reinberg that there would

be a saving of twenty-five per cent in his
fuel bills. Mr. Reinberg is said to have
last season expended $36,000 for coal.
He accepted the apparatus as fitted up
for the test and gave an order to at once
equip two other boilers.

After a lively discussion on the subject,
a motion was made by Harry Papworth
not to have any. The vote of the mem-
bers was favorable to the motion and it
was agreed among them that only an in-
formal exhibit of plants will be made
about that time. No location was se-
lected.

A state exhibit took place lately at
Jeanerette, a small, thriving place in
Louisiana. It seems to have been a
success as far as the exhibit of horti-
cultural products was concerned. Only
one florist from New Orleans was repre-
sented, but C. W. Eichling says that
there is a good opening for business
there. People are interested in flowers.

Charles Eble is quite proud of the dis-
tinction he received at the convention
for his new fern. He invited the so-
ciety to hold its next meeting at his
residence. He is ready to move to his
former quarters, now rebuilt, on Baronne

The weather continues favorable to
chrysanthemums. So far, outside grown
flowers will give more satisfaction than
those under glass. M. M. L.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

For the last week the weather has been
ideal in Buffalo. As a result stock in-
doors is improved very much, but out-
door stock, with the exception of gladioli
and dahlias, is poor. Dahlias continue
to be of good quality and take the place
of asters very nicely, except for funeral
work. Indoor stock is improving daily,
but still far short of the demand. Kil-
larney, Richmond and Beauties are of
good quality. Maids and Brides are still
short, but welcome.

At this particular season of the year
there is always trouble witll stock, but
the early planting has eliminated this to
a large extent. Carnations afe arriving
more and more plentifully every day and
are of good quality, but rather short-
stemmed.

.. Varioui Notes.

found very ready sale in Buffalo and we

season, as the spikes sold before they
were out of the box at ^he commission

TULIPS FOR BEDDING.

Soil and Fertilizer.

For bedding purposes tulips are far
preferable to hyacinths. They are less
expensive, give more brilliant and tell-
ing color effects and last much longer in
flower. It is not surprising that their
use outdoors is advancing with leaps and
bounds, for they are not by any means
fussy as to soil and location, as are some
of the hardy bulbs, for while a sandy
loam of good depth suits them best, they
will give excellent results in any good
soil which has been well worked over and
in which a good proportion of well de-
cayed manure has been incorporated.
Fresh manure is positively hurtful to
tulips and all other bulbs. Cow manure
is the best animal fertilizer to use.
This is used almost exclusively in the
HoUaad b'ulb fields.

In planting beds a depth of four to
five inches to the bottom of the bulbs,
varying according to their size, and five
to six inches apart each way is about
right if a really good effect is wanted.
(Jare should always be taken to plant
the bulbs at an even depth, so as to
liave them all bloom together. Use some
sand below the bulbs in stiff soil. In
sandy soil tulips always make the finest
and cleanest bulbs. Good drainage is
I'ssential to success, for while tulips love
moisture, water must not stand where
rhpy are planted.

Planting and G>vering.

The time to plant depends on the lo-
cality: In the more northern states,
from the end of September until the end
of October, and a month later farther
south. While tulips are one of the
hardiest of bulbs, they are benefited by
a winter mulch of leaves or strawy ma-
nure, which should not, however, be
placed on the beds until they are well
frozen ; and care must be taken to remove
it carefully early in the spring. A heavy
covering is not wanted; just suflBcient to
prevent continual heaving of the ground
from frost, especially in February and
March.

A common query asked by customers
who have purchased a few bulbs is,
• ' Will they bloom all right a second
year?" Of course it is not to a deal-
er's advantage to have the bulbs carried
a second season, and few ever do so, or
succeed if they try, but if the flowers
are removed early and the plants allowed
to well mature the bulbs before lifting
and storing, good results may be at-
tained in succeeding years. But where,
as is usually the case, flowers are left
on, seed pods allowed to develop and the
bulbs dug up as soon as t^e blooms are
gone, it does not pay to plant a second
season.. The early bedding tulips do not
wear so well in America as do thf< Dar-
wins and other late varieties.

Best Single Bedders.

For bedding purposes the single va-
rieties are mvch superior to the double
ones, although some few of the latter
are worthy of culture. A, selection gf
the best singles is as follows: ,/"

Four splendid whites are Joost Van
Vondel, White Hawk, White Pottebak-
ker and White Swan. , The last named
blooms later than the other sorts. Of
the four sorts I consider the first named
the best. .

In pinks the best is undoubtedly the
beautiful satiny rose-col6red Queen of
the Netherlands. The rose and white
variety Pink Beauty is also superb. Both
these are still rather high priced.
Cheaper varieties are Cottage Maid and
Bosamundi Huikman. In reds and crim-
sons General Gould (syn. : Sir Thomas

Late-flowering an4 Darwin Sorts. •

In the late-flowefftig class the follow-
ing singles are deserving of increased
use; they bloom when the early tuUps
are gone, have longer, stems and last a
long time in bloom: Bouton d'Or,i fel-

cream shaded rose; Vitellina, creamy
yellow, and Golden Cream, yellow, edged
red.

In the magnificent Darwin section such
varieties as Gretchen, Edmond Rostand,
Glow, Gretchen, Fire King, and Pride
of Haarlem are a few specially fine
ones. These latter, in my estimation,
quite outclass the early flowering sorts

my estimation being the more effective.
The old Duchess of Parma, red, edged

The Weekly Florists' Review.

OCTOBEB 3, 1907.

Public Gardens last aeason initiatod the
plan of having large solid be^ of one
variety and this method of '}>lantiiig
proved very effective. Some of these
b^ds are pictured in this issue of the
Review and the practice is worthy of
more general adoption. The beds of such
standard sorts as Pink* Beauty, Prince
of Austria, Joost Van Vondel, White
Swan, Couleur Cardinal, Keizerskroon
and others were extremely telling. To
cover the ground, such plants as violas
in several colors, daisies and forget-me-
nots are used. Where the flowers are

pots throughout, says a writer in an
English trade paper.

TULIPS FOR MEMORIAL DAY.

What are the best tulips for outdoor
blooming for Memorial day ? I. E. L.

For late May-flowering tulips we pre-
fer the Darwins. They are perfectly
hardy and produce large flowers of fine
substance, that stand well when cut. The
varieties embrace a fine assortment of
colors, so that one has no trouble in get-

dark, the groundwork should be light,
and vice versa.

A pretty circular bed may be had by
planting a broad cross of a red, like
Couleur Cardinal, and filling the inter-
vening spaces with White Swan. Care
should always be taken in planting sev-
eral colors in a bed not to use white with
yellow or scarlet with crimson. Flowers
with mixed colors should be planted by
themselves. Keizerskroon makes a superb
bed by-; itself, but a band or cross of
white rUtterly spoils it. The decadence
of carpet bedding has helped to kill the
design style of planting tulips and the
change is truly a wholesome one. The
ribbon border style is still popular with
some, but mass planting of solid colors
is rapidly displacing it.

Where there are a number of beds to
be planted, the high colors, like red and
crimson, if used, should be nearest the
outside of the garden and farthest from
the observation points. Soft colors
should always predominate. Some rather
harsh bulbous effects can l)e tolerated
by reason of the fact that we are glad
to see these harbingers of spring after
the long winter, and they do not stay
sufficiently long in bloom to pall upon
us, as summer bedding might do.

POTTING VAN THOL TULIPS.

Tlie most generally useful way of grow-
ing the small, but early, bright-colored
Van Thol tulips is to place six good
bulbs in a o-inch pot, one bulb in the
middle, and five around the sides. But
some pretty little plants may be obtained
by placing one good bulb in a thumb pot,
using fairly good loam, and feeding well
when the foliage commences to expand.
These small pots are exceedingly useful
for table decoration, or for filling the
small fancy dishes found on many tables.
If preferred, the bulbs can be grown in
boxes, and placed in small pots when
;ibou< to commence flowering. Person-
ally, however, I prefer growing them in

ting just the shade he wants. Most of
the trade catalogues describe and give
colors of the varieties, which makes it a
simple matter to make a selection, or you
will find a fine article, with numerous il-
lustrations, in the Review of June 13,
1907. Wm. Scott.

that region under the supervision of
the department. The climatic conditions
of the I*uget Sound region are especially
favorable to the development of tulip
and narcissus bulbs, and it is probable
that the corner stone of the American
bulb industry will soon be laid in that
region. We are cooperating with com-
mercial men who are endeavoring to
develop the industry, and plans are al-
ready under way for a considerable ex-
tension of the work."

RETARDED VALLEY.

We hear much of catch crops in the
garden, but catch crops in the green-
house scarcely seem to have such a vogue.
And yet most growers know that there
are times when such a greenhouse catch
crop would be extremely useful, notably
in early autumn. A useful catch crop at
this season may be found in lilies of the
valley. Retarded crowns are of course
to be used, and they may be either pot-
ted or boxed; I have found 5-inch pots
most generally useful. Planting should
be done somewhat thickly. Flowers
should be produced in from three weeks
to a month from the time of potting, if
kept nicely moist in a spare corner of a
greenhouse.

BULBS ON PUGET SOUND.

In his address before the Congress of
Horticulture at the Jamestown exposi-
tion last week Prof. B. T. Galloway,
chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry,
related what the government is doing to
assist the trade and, referring to bulb
culture, he spoke as follows:

* * Investigations are being carried on
in the encouragement of the production
of tulips, narcissi and hyacinths on the
Pacific coast. At the present timi^
three gardens are being maintained in

VARIETIES OF NARCISSUS.

I am located in a district in Califor-
nia where narcissi do finely and I can
produce good bulbs on a commercial ba-
sis. But I have too many varieties and
too few of each. Will you kindly tell
me which ones are the leading trade sorts
and about the proportion in which they
are called for? Any suggestions relat-
ing to the growing of narcissus bulbs in
California for the eastern trade will bf
more than welcome. L. B. ('.

I give below a list of the leading va
rieties of narcissus in the order of their
importance for forcing and planting out
in the eastern states: Narcissus Paper
White grandiflora, for forcing only; Von
Sion, double; Golden Spur, Empress, Em-
peror, Horsfieldii, poeticus ornatus, and
poeticus. There are thirty or forty other
varieties of narcissus more or less in
demand, a list of which can be obtained
by consulting the catalogue of any first-
class seed house. I know nothing of the

Tulip Royal Standard, Red and Yellow.

presume to advise a practical grower.
The varieties mentioned above comprise
ninety per cent of the narcissi sold by
the florists and seed trade tliroughout
the United States.

. Arthur T. Boddington.

Answering the inquiry made above,
we herewith give the names of the lead-
ing narcissus bulbs which are in demand
today in the commercial market: Single
varieties — Campernelle rugulosus, Em-
press, Giant Princeps, Golden Spur, Trum-
pet Major, Emperor, Incomparable Stel-
la, Sir Watkin and poeticus. Double va-
rieties— Alba plena odorata, Incompara-
ble double, Orange Phoenix, Sulphur or
Silver Phoenix and Von Sion.

In regard to growing narcissus bulbs
in California, the writer has not had any
direct experience, but provided they arc
given a good, heavy soil we do not see
why they should not do well. So far as
we know, narcissus bulbs are not culti-
vated in California, but it may be that
they have never been tried, and it may
also be that they will not thrive there.
We have shipped a great many of them
into California, but presume that they
are used for cut flowers.

Henry F. MicIiell Co.

Kegarding the varieties of narcissus,
the most successful and largest growers
in California confine themselves to fancy
single varieties, such as Emperor, Golden
Spur, Empress, Sir Watkin, etc. It
would not pay to ship a stock of Polyan-
thus narcissus from Chicago to the Pa-
cific coast, as they are very plentiful. out
there indeed and bulblets could ,be pur-
chased much cheaper locally than import-
ed stock could be furnished from Chi-
cago. If L. B. C. lives in southern Cali-

fornia, it undoubtedly would pay him to
interview C. A. Brazee, Wilmington, Cal.,
one of the largest growers of bulbs on
the Pacific coast; or, if he is anywhere
near San Francisco, any of the leading

retail florists will substantiate the state-
ment we make above and can tell hini
the proportion of the best-selling vari-
eties he ought to grow.

Dutch Bulbt.

The time for boxing and potting what
are commonly termed Dutch bulbs has
again arrived and no time should be lost
in getting the bulbs in the soil. While
outdoor planting may be better delayed
a short time, those required for early
flowering under glass, which miust fill the
pots, pans or flats with roots before they
can be successfully forced, should not be
allowed to fritter away their strength in
bags or boxes. We hope a good pile of
compost was prepared, as suggested some
time ago. If this was not done, get it
in readiness at once. We do not believe
that any old soil is good enough for the
average run of bulbs. It is true that
the embryo flowers are already contained
in the bulbs, but the compost used will
materially affect the quality of the flow-
ers to be produced. A mixture of two-
thirds well decayed loam, one-third well
pulverized and rotted cow manure ami
a liberal addition of sand makes a good
potting medium. Some growers add leaf-
mold. If your soil is heavy, this will be

found advantageous. Bulbs all seem
to prefer a rather sandy and porous
compost.

After your bulbs are boxed or potted,
the question arises as to where to store
them. If you have abundant cellar space,
we would advise putting them under
cover. With many growers such accom-
modations are wanting, in which event
they can be placed in a pit on any
ground where water will not stand in
winter. Cover with ashes or soil after
watering well and remember that more
water must be given once in ten days
or so for some time, for the flats dry out
rapidly and most of the failures in
Dutch bulb storing arise from having
the soil too dry. By the middle of No-
vember leaves or strawy manure can be
spread over the soil to exclude frost. Be
sure to place large labels where your dif-
ferent varieties are, so that you can pick
them out readily when needed. There
are many disadvantages in placing the
bulbs outdoors and if any cellar or shed
is at disposal, by ;ill means utilize it.

Hyacinths.

While less popular as a market flower
than tulips, there is still a fair demand
for nicely flowered pots and pans of hya-
cinths. Place one large crock over the
drainage, then some of the rougher com-
post. Fill about two-thirds full, press
moderately, drop some sand over the
soil, lay the biilbs in position and cover
with compost until the noses of the bulbs
just show. When potted the soil should
be firm but not hard, and a space of
three-fourths of an inch left for water.
For cutting, use flats four inches deep
and set the bulbs moderately thick. The
second size or bedding hyacinths answer
well for this purpose.

A few good sorts are: Red and pink
shades — Gertrude, Robert Steiger, Nor-
ma. White — Baroness Van Thuyll,
Grandeur a Merveille. Blue — Baron Van
Thuyll, King of the Blues, Grand Lilas.

The foregoing are all single varieties
and for either indoor or outdoor work
are better than tlie double sorts. Place
the flats and pans under cover if possible.
In a wet fall the soil will become over-
wet, get sour and roots decay.

Tulips.

Year by year we are told that bulb
forcing is unprofitable, that the market
is constantly glutted with bulbous stock

of this beautiful early variety. Whether
for use in retail work at home or for
market purposes, it is un8urpaii»4d. A
few other good forcing tulips are Ver-
milion Brilliant, scarlet; Yellow Prince,
yellow; Cottage Maid, pink; Keizer-
kroon, red and yellow; Proserpine, silky
rose; Pottebakker, white, and Chryso-
lora, yellow.

Pans eight inches in diameter will
hold about a dozen bulbs. Flats 12x14
inches and four inches deep will ac-
commodate from seventy-five to 100, ac-
cording to the variety. Fill the flat with
loose soil, after providing good drain-
age; press in the bulbs and leave them
.just covered. Make the soil moderately
firm. If you do not care to grow any
tulips or hyacinths in pots and pans and
have any subsequent call for such, you
can take the requisite number out of
your flats before the flowers open, make
up pans and they will look just as
well as if they had been grown in them.
The tens of thousands of pans grown for
the Covent Garden market, London, ^re
all grown in flats and a few small ferns
are placed among them in the pans.

In double tulips Murillo and Coronne
d'Or are the best sorts to grow.

Narcissi.

It is time now to get in a large batch

and that another season fewer growers
will handle them, but there is no ap-
parent decrease in their production. It
is true that there has not been the tre-
mendous increase in the forcing of this
class of bulbs that there has been in
their use for outdoor planting, but never-
theless we think there is still a good fu-
ture for specialists in this line.

Tulips are better market bulbs than
hyacinths, both in {tans and for cutting.
For very early forcing it is not at all
easy to handle them successfully. Many
will come blind and about all will be
dwarf. The earliest of all, the Due Van
Tholls, are too short to become useful.
They come in more easily at Christmas
than any other sort. Following these
comes La Reine, the queen of forcing
tulips, a delicate pink in winter and pure
white later in the season. Xo mistake
will be made in ])utting in a large batch

of the single and double Von Sion nar-
cissi. The latter remains a good market
variety, although double daffodils look
singularly coarse compared to the singles.
The single Von Sion is commonly known
as Trumpet Major. The best of all the
golden trumpet section is the popular
(lolden Spur. Princeps is inexpensive.
It is about the poorest of the trumpet
daffodils, a flimsy flower with little to
reconnnend it but its cheapness. It still
holds a place where cheap flowers are in
request, but cannot be placed in the
same class as Golden Spur and Sir Henry
Irving. The newer Victoria is a mag-
nificent white-winged variety which has
now become moderate in price and is
worth a trial. Emperor and Empress
are favorites and there is a moderate call
for the flowers of Sir Watkin, the giant
Welsh daffodil. The beautiful Barri
Conspicuus is excellent for late work.

but cannot be forced early. Some of
the Leedsii type, such as Mrs. Langtry
and Minnie Hume, are occasionally met
with and will some day be largely grown
for market.

N. poeticus ornatus is an invaluable
sort for early forcing and can be had
in bloom by the end of January. The
ordinary pheasant's eye narcissus, N.
poeticus, is a most useful flower at Eas-'
ter, for which date it can readily be re-
tarded. The golden, sweet-scented jon-
quils are useful either in pans or flats.
N. rugulosus is the largest and best,
but the smaller N. campernelle blooms
a little earlier. These jonquils do not
need covering like the other narcissi, as
they start to grow very quickly after
being planted. ,

Spanish Iris.

Spanish iris is well adapted for forcing
and more are being grown each year.
For this purpose flats three inches deep
answer well, but better success will re-
sult if they are an inch deeper. Cover
the bulbs two inches deep and keep in
a coldframe until November, when they
can be stored in any cool, light pit or
kept in the frame if protected until
needed for forcing. They resent a high
temperature. A carnation house suits
them nicely. A few good sorts are Le-
onidas, violet blue; Chrysolora, yellow;
British Queen, fine white; Louise and
Helena, light blue. The flats need no
covering with soil or ashes, as the iris
starts to grow within two or three weeks
after being planted.

Gladioli.

That old variety, G, Colvillei The
Bride, is an inexpensive and useful sort
to grow. The flowers are pure white
and borne on compact spikes. The va-
riety Blushing Bride, with crimson flakes
on the petals, is also a profitable sort
to handle. The various forms of G. car-
dinalis or nanus are even better than G.
Colvillei, having larger flowers, stronger
spikes, and l)oing less susceptible to rot
at the base of the flower stalk. There
is quite a wide range of colors in this
comparatively little known race, a few
specially good ones being Peach Blos-
som, rosy pink; Salmon Queen, salmon
pink; PiuK Perfection, rose; Ackerman--
ni, orange, and Mathilde, delicate laven-
der. The culture of these gladioli
should be the same as that afforded the
Spanish iris. The bulbs can be planted
quite thickly and may be used a second
year with good success.

ENGLISH THADE SALES.

The annual auction trade sales in the
establishments near London have now
been conducted, in the second week of
September, by one English firm for thirty-
nine years. According to report this sea-
son there was a good attendance all
round, and in most instances the venders
should be well satisfied with the results.
There were buyers from all parts of the
kingdom, and though no exceptionally
high prices were made, in several in-
stances they went higher than they have
been the last few years. Palms were
much in demand, and brought higher
prices than usual, kentias especially so.
The ferns claimed the attention of most
buyers, those of the ordinary market sorts
making what were considered excellent
prices. There was not so much competi-
tion for the choicer sorts, and those who
had use for them got them at consider-
ably reduced prices. Tlie new plumose

varieties of nephrolepia caused a little
competition, and many extra lots had to
be made up at the rate of about 24 shil-
lings per dozen for Todeaoides and Whit-
mani. Small ferns sold well at prices
nearly equal to ordinary quotations.
Other foliage plants went at about the
usual or a little above what they have
made previous years.

SOW BUGS OR WOOD LICE.

Can you tell me of something that
will kill sow bugs? I have tried Paris
green in meal, shorts, bran, etc., sweet-
ened as directed in the recipes, but I
cannot get the pests to eat it. This is a
new place and 1 have millions of them.
They are iu my dwelling as well as in
my greenhouse. They seem to be partial
to Asparagus plumosus and ferns. They
eat the young shoots off as fast as tiiey
start up. They are in the soil all around
here. T. A. G.

Since the suw bugs do not take kindly
to the Paris green, try white arsenic
mixed in sweetened bran. If the pests
are as numerous as you state, they will
be a real menace to successful plant cul-
ture. Besides using the poison, you can
trap many by laying around some pota-
toes or turnips with the insides scooped

out. Look over these frequently, espe-
cially early in the morning, and drop the
pests in hot water. Dust the surface of
your benches with tobacco dust, which the
pests do not like. Try a little Cayenne
pepper dropped about their haunts in
your dwelling house. Sterilize any soil
you use for potting, and if your bench
soil is infested use some carbon bisul-
phide, dropping a little in holes eighteen
inches apart each way, covering the holes
at once. This will not harm the plants.
Do not leave any rubbish under your
benches, as that would make congenial
hiding places for them. A few cans of
boiling water poured into their haunts
will kill large quantities. ('. W.

PANSIES FOR WINTER BLOOM.

When pansies are wanted for winter
blooming should they be allowed to
freeze before bringing in? How early
will they bloom in a cool house with solid
benches? Seed sown about August 1.

L. D.

A little freezing will prove beneficial
to any pansies which are to be under
glass for cut flowers. Treatment and
temperature should not vary much from
that afforded single violets. If kept just
clear of freezing at night, they will do

well. You will probably not get many
flowers until the new year, February
being as early as the plants will bloom
with anything like freedom. Avoid ex-
tremes of temperature and do not on
any consideration try coddling in the
hopes of getting an early crop of bloom.
Heat reduces the size of the flowers and
soon spoils the plants. C. W.

HARDINESS OF HIBISCUS.

Will you please inform me if the
Peachblow hibiscus is hardy enough to
stand the winters in this climate, in
southwestern Michigan? W. B.

The hibiscus most often seen in cul-^
tivation is H. Mo8cheut< s. This is the
best of the marsh malhw.s and succeeds
well either in any good j.arden soil or in
quite moist locations, such as the bor-
ders of streams and ponds, in which lat-
ter situations it succeeds specially well.
Probably the variety Peachblow is a
form of H. Moscheutos. This and H.
militaris are both perfectly hardy and
need no winter protection wh'^tsoever.

SEASONABLE CULTURE.

When to Feed.

The questions of when to feed the
plants, how long to continue the proc-
ess and when to stop feeding altogether,
often prove a stumbling block to the
grower of limited experience, and one
cannot well, from his own experience, in-
struct others • without seeing the plants
and knowing the general conditionfk
Many good flowers are spoiled every
year by well-meaning but too enthusias-
tic growers, who are determined to
"have some exhibition flowers thjj*-.
year," and overshoot the mark in their
* eagerness.

Pot plants can be fed with liquid at
any time that the pot is well filled with
roots, and plants set out in benches will
take feeding after they have been set
out from eight to ten weeks. It is en-
tirely wrong to feed any plant that is
not well established, no matter where it
is growing.

Assuming, then, that we have com-
menced feeding, how long should it be
continued and how much should be used?
Once I commence feeding, the plants do
not have any more clear water except
when, once in a while, a section of bench
dries out oftener than another. By keep-
ing the strength of the liquid well with-
in the lines of safety — the proportions
were given in these notes in the Review
of September 5— the feeding root hairs
are not destroyed, and the plant can be
seen to be improving every day by the
thickening of the main stem and the
increasing size and richer color of the
leaves. It is better to feed liquid solu-
tions after September 1, because what
we need is immediate results and the
chemist teaches us that what is water-
soluble is immediately available for the
use of the plant.

When to Stop Feeding.

There are several ways of seeing when
the plants have had about enough feed-
ing. When the foliage is large and of
a black-green color and rustles as you
brush your arm along it, the plant is
getting all the feed it needs. When the
foliage is so brittle that it snaps off the
stalk when touched and the leaf will snap
into pieces when folded up, instead of
bending to the fold, your plants have
had all the nitrogen they need and feed-
ing should be stopped altogether.

Plants that have the wood well
ripened, as shown by the bark appear-
ing all up the main stem, will stand
much more feeding and produce a much
larger flower than later planted stock
that is fleshy and gross looking, with
stems still green.

Occasionally you will see buds that
look as though some one had taken a
knife and cut the stem halfwav through
immediately below the bud. This is an-
other of nature 's methods of telling" you
to stop feeding. The roots are pump-
ing up more sap than the bud can as-
similate, and under the pressure the
weakest spot snaps first. The Duck-
hams, owing to their strong root action,

often show this trouble, and to a greater
or less degree any variety will show it
if overfed. When it appears, shut off
the feed altogether and also most of the
water supply, and let the plants go hun-
gry for a time.

Red varieties should not be fed after
the bud splits its covering, as they are
very sensitive to damping of the petals
and melt away in the sun in a heart-
breaking manner. The crimson color is
in some way responsible for this, be-
cause the reds shading to purple or
bronze do not show this trouble, while
G. W. Childs, perhaps one of the most
beautiful crimsons ever sent out, used to
be sometimes a total loss and several of
our present-day crimsons are not much
better.

It is best to stop feeding on any va-
riety when the petals are advanced far
enough to show the color well, because
unless one is well versed, it is easy to
spoil everything after this time and one
should not take too many chances.
Charles H. Totty.

effectual remedy will be *to procure some
bisulphide of carbon at a drug store.
Make holes with a sharp-pointed stick,
eighteen to twenty-four inches apart
each way. Pour a few drops of the car-
bon in each hole, immediately covering
it with soil. Be sure not to strike any
matches while using the liquid, as the
powerful fumes are explosive, and
moisten the soil in the benches well be-
fore applying it, if thev are at all dry.

C. W.

THRIPS ON VIOLETS.

We have an abundance of thrips in our
violet soil and some in our rose and car-
nation soil. We spray with tobacco ex-
tract on roses and carnations, but as to
violets, we are doubtful whether they
will stand spraying with this, so we
sprinkle tobacco dust, but cannot get rid
of the pest. We use compost from the
cow lot, and bone meal. J. L. O.

For thrips on roses and carnations I
know of nothing better than the tobacco
extracts, but they must not be used on
violets, as they will burn the foliage.
Tobacco dust, or the fumes from tobacco
powder or the extracts, ought to destroy
the aphis and thrips without injuring
the plants. Thrips are hard to get rid of

WORMS IN MUM BENCHES.

I send under separate cover some soil
from a bench of mums. There are numer-
ous spots on the bench where the soil is

tell whether these worms are injurious
and what to do in order to exterminate
them? F. A. W.

The worms were dead and so shriveled
when received that we could not identify
them. They appear to be a small edition
of a very bad pest in the east, viz., the
latrse of the May beetle, which devour
the roots of many plants. Probably
many of these pests will come to the sur-
face and could be poisoned, but the most

Tidewater region were particularly favor-
able to the growth of narcissi, tulips,
gladioli, iris, peonies, etc. Starting four
years ago with five acres, last season the
firm had thirty-five acres planted with
these bulbs, which presented a fine,
healthy appearance. This season an ad-

ditional fifteen acres will be planted. The
firm asserts that one great point in favor
of Virginia-grown bulbs is the fact that,
given the same treatment as Dutch bulbs,
the Virginian bulbs will flower at least
ten days earlier, thus saving time and
fuel and finding a better market.

PUNCTURES BY INSECTS.

Inclosed are a few leaves from Lawson
and White Enchantress carnations which
are now housed and have become thus
affected since taken from the field. They
were in perfect health when in the open.
Kindly inform me as to the cause and
remedy of the disease. E. L. B.

The leaves sent show unmistakable
signs of a bad case of red spider, and
also a few light spots caused by stig-
monose. The. latter may be caused by
the former, but most likely it was caused
uy aphis, possibly previous to the pres-
ent season.

The spider you can get rid of at once
by spraying the plants every bright day
for a short period with a sharp spray
from the hOse, from both sides of the
bed if ~ possible. Be careful, however,
that you do not get the soil too wet,
and also be sure the plants dry off well
before night. The days are getting
shorter and the sfln we&kef ; hence "evapo-
ration is less rapid and , there is more
danger of leaf-spot and kindred dis-

eases, usually brought on by too much
moisture and stagnation.

The stigmonose is not so easy to get
rid of, but can be worked out of the
stock by careful selection of cuttings and
sane culture. When taking cuttings for
next season's stock, take them from
plants that show none of these spots.
Root them cool and when rooted pot into
new soil which is not too rich and set in
a cool house of about 48 to 50' degrees.
Shift as may be needed and see to it
that they do not get a check from any
cause, such as too much or too little
water, too rich soil, or from starvation.
The following season there will likely be
less of the disease, though it will hardly
disappear altogether that soon. It will
•likely require the same careful selection
for from three "to five years to rid your
stock of it entirely.

In view of the rapid superseding of
one variety by a better one tliese days,
one would be inclined to doubt the wis-
dom of spending so much labor on reju-
venating a run-down variety, and in
many cases it would be economy to dis-
card it and stock up with a new variety
in gox)d health.' But when there is not
a variety to be had to immediately take

its place it will pay well for the trouble.
If you are obliged to grow a variety you
should bend every effort to have it as
strong and robust as possible while you
are growing it.

Your this year 's plants will show these
spots to some extent in spite of any-
thing you may do. Moderate culture
will, however, minimize it to some ex-
tent. Any undue forcing or feeding
will aggravate it and should be carefully
avoided. As this disease is started by
the pupctures of insects, great care
should be taken to keep them off the
young plants especially.

CLUB-ROOT ON CARNATIONS.

We have a very bad attack of club-
root on our carnations. Some clubs have
fjrown to the size of the end of your
finger. We have seen signs cf it for some
three years, but this is the worst of all.
We have never used the same soil for
two successive years and have never
planted our carnations in the field where
tliey were grown before. We use a lib-
eral quantity of air-slaked lime, both on
field and in compost heap. We housed
our carnations, six houses in all, and
finished planting by August 10. Now,
what we want to know is how to get rid
■ of the disease. Is it inheritable through
propagations of cuttings? What can we
do with our stock, to expect a good cut
of flowers? We have applied a heavy
sprinkle of lime over the benches. Tlie
carnations are growing very nicely, but
we have noticed that plants having this
disease never make many flowers.

J. L. O.

I regret that I cannot give you any
advice on your query about club-root on
carnations. I have never come across
such a thing. I should like to see a
plant thus affected. I have often seen
individual plants which produced only

grass and no flower steins. Such plants
are termed ' ' wild. ' ' No cuttings should
ever be taken from them, as they will
invariably grow into similar plants. I
have been told that by cutting such
plants back hard they can be induced to
throw flower stems. While I do not know
the cause of plants behaving in that
way, I have never attributed it to any
such thing as club-root. You ought to
be able to tell whether it is inheritable,
by observing the new varieties you buy
each season. If this trouble remains
only among the older varieties, of which
you propagated your own stock, then
such may be the case. But, on the other
hand, if the newer importations are af-
fected, also, then it is likely in the soil

Boiler Explo.ion at Pleasant Hill.

At 6 a. m. Thursday, September 26,
a boiler exploded at the establishment
of George M. Kellogg, Pleasant Hill,
Mo., wholly demolisliirig the boiler-she<l
and breaking about .')0,ObO square feet of
glass, besides wrecking the framework
of some of the houses. There was no
loss of life, as the fireman had left the
shed and the men had not yet reported
for work. After two days Mr. Kellogg
said that at the lowest estimate the dam-
age to the plant would be $35,000, to
say nothing of the loss of stock in the
houses.

The boiler that exploded was 80-inch,
tubular, with a capacity of twenty
pounds of steam. It was fired the day
before for the first time this fall and
was kept going all night. A second
boiler was also under steam, but the
other three in the battery were unused.
The fireman, who had left the room, in-
sisted that his steam was gauging well
within the limit, but the fact that the
boiler, of quarter-inch steel, was ripped
as if it were so much cloth, indicates
a tremendous pressure, and Mr. Kellogg
reports that it was afterwards proven
the gauge was shut oflf the boiler and the
valve letting the sicam into the houses
was closed tight. Houses reeled and
rocked with the explosion, which came
with a snappish roar, and many people
in the town ran out, thinking that an
earthquake was at hand.

tion, and the force of the explosion lift-

s'.one which fell upon the range broke
glass all over the place and here and
there heavy objects did damage to roof
and benches as well.

Rebuilding Not Delayed.

Tlie same morning Mr. Kellogg went
to Kansas Oity, estimating that he re-
quired over 1,000 boxes of glass to re-
glaze his houses, and the next day the
first car reached Pleasant Hill. Two
small boilers were procured for tem-

porary use and are now doing duty. The
greatest diflSculty was in securing lum-
ber to do anything more than a tem-
porary job of repairing.

Mr. Kellogg takes his loss philosophic-
ally and on the following Saturday, Sep-
tember 28, wrote: "Trusting in the
Lord, I am still hard at work and hope
that cold weather will hold off for an-
other week, after which I think I will be
fairly well closed in."

GROWING OF CUT FLOWERS.

(A paper by F. R. Plersou, of Tarrytown,
N. Y., read before tUe Congress of Horticul-
ture at the Jamestown exiiosition, September 23,
1907.]

The development in the commercial
growing of cut flowers in this country
during the last thirty years has been
phenomenal. Wh^t might be dignified
as the commercial growing of cut
flowers practically had its beginning less
than thirty years ago. Prior to that
time the quantity of flowers produced
was insignificant, the quality, compared
with present standards, inferior, and
the methods of culture crude in the ex-
treme. With the increase of wealth,
there has been a marvelous progress in
the production of cut flowers, both in
the quality and the immense quantities
produced.

It seems incredible now that the
writer, less than thirty years ago, was
advised by one of the foremost florists
of that time not to go into the cut
flower growing part of the business, be-
cause it would soon be overdone. This
seems the more incredible when one con-
siders that today many single establish-
ments are producing more cut flowers
than the entire greenhouse production
of the United States probably amount-
ed to at that time.

Thirty Years Ago.

New York, which is one of the great-
est cut flower centers in the world, thir-
ty years ago depended on Boston for its
supply of roses. TTie leading varieties
of roses in those days were Safrano,
Isabella Sprunt and Bon Silene, all of
which have practically disappeared, hav-
ing been superseded by improved sorts,
and today these one-time popular roses
are almost unknown. In carnations at
that time the leading variety was Presi-
dent De Graw. A long-stemmed carna-
tion was then unthought of, as many
buds being allowed to develop on one
stem as possible, and tiie flowers were
cut with no stems. Loose, long-stemmed

flowers were then an unknown quantity.
These short-stemmed flowers were sup-
plemented by wooden stems and wires,
and made up into baskets, bouquets, etc.,
in the most formal and artificial arrange-
ment; in fact, the inferior quality of
the flowers permitted nothing better.
The best flowers then produced would
simply be unsalable today, on account
of their small size and short stems. At
that time so few roses and carnations
were grown that they were necessarily
supplemented by French and Dutch
bulbs, which in those days were forced
in comparatively large quantities.

In the earlier days of the cut flower in-
dustry, European methods of culture were
in vogue. The few roses and carnations
that were grown were mostly in pots,
the greenhouses of those days being very
primitive. Up to that time, the build-
ings erected for the production of cut
flowers were very small and insignificant
and comparatively crude affairs. With
the introduction of some of the finer
roses, like Perle, Cornelia Cook, Cath-
erine Mermet, Bride, and Bridesmaid,
a great impetus was given the cut flower
industry, and then came the queen of
all roses, American Beauty.

Beginning of Present Methods.

I believe that the present up-to-date
methods of rose growing had their be-
ginning in the vicinity of Madison, N. J.
The old pot method was discarded, and
roses were grown on shallow benches in
light, sunny, airy houses, and the re-
sults obtained were exceedingly satis-
factory and profitable. Large ranges of
rose houses were constantly erected in
that section, along the line of the Dela-
ware, Lackawanna & Western railroad,
and at that time Madison, Summit, and
other towns in that vicinity were known
as the rose belt of America; but since
then immense ranges of glass for the cul-
tivation of roses have been erected in
so many different localities around New
York, Chicago, Boston, and other large
cities that no one place in the country
can boast of any particular supremacy.

The same development that occurred
in the rose took place in the carnation,
but at a considerably later period, and
the present fine varieties of carnations
that are now grown have all been pro-
duced within the last decade. First
came Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson, which
marked an epoch in carnation growing.
This variety was the forerunner of such
fine varieties as Enchantress, Mrs. M. A.
Patten, Beacon, White Perfection, Win-
sor, etc. Tlie trade was quick to dis-
cern that while these improved carna-
tions could be grown in the old-time
houses, they could be grown much bet-
ter in the improved houses that were de-
voted to rose culture.

Progress in Violet Growing,

Another flower which has become one
of the most important is the violet. In
the earlier days violets were grown in
coldframes, covered with sashes and
straw mats; and, of course, with our
severe winters, the supply was small and
uncertain. The same improved methods
of culture that have taken place with
the rose and carnation followed with the
violet; and today violets are grown in
large quantities in light, airy houses, en-
tirely under glass — a method of culture
that fifteen or twenty years ago was un-
heard of and unthought of. The violet
business has been largely centralized for
many years in the Hudson river valley,
especially in the vicinity of Poughkeepsie

Boiler- shed at George M. Kellogg's After the Explosion.

and Rhinebeck, which has become fa-
mous as a violet-growing section, where
the variety called Marie Louise is prin-
cipally grown. Princess of Wales, the
large single violet, which is not so dif-
ficult to grow, has been -grown in other
sections where Marie Louise has not been
grown sucessfully or profitably. Im-
mense quantities of Princess are grown,
especially in the vicinity of Boston, and
also in some of the large Canadian cen-
ters.

One of the most phenomenal improve-
ments that have been made in any flower
has been in the chrysanthemum, which
has been developed to such an extent
that one who knew it twenty-five or
thirty years ago would not recognize
the immense blooms grown today.

The Bermuda Easter Lily.

Another very important flower tor tlie
florist is the Easter lily, which was
grown only in very small quantities un-
til the introduction of the Bermuda
Easter lily twenty-five years ago. Prior
to that time, lily bulbs were obtainable
only from Japan and Holland, and the
sources of supply were very uncertain,
besides which, the bulbs often reached
this market too late to force for Easter.
I'Uder these circumstances, the advan-
tages of the Bermuda Easter lily were
immediately recognized, as the bulbs
could be brought here in July and Au-
gust, so that it was possible not only to
force them for Easter, but they could
even be brought into flower by the holi-
days, so that the Bermuda Easter lily
has become one of the most important
flowers, especially for the Easter sea-
son, and is now grown in immense quan-
tities.

I introduced the commercial culture of
the Bermuda Easter lily in Bermuda
about twenty-five years ago, and I be-
lieve that for many years one-third of
the revenue of the Bermuda Islands was
derived from the culture and sale of
this bulb. It has been grown there in
immense quantities; the normal output
for many years has been two million
bulbs and up, and one year it reached
as high as four million. Unfortunately,
with bad cultural methods, the quality
of the bulb has deteriorated; still, the
Bermuda-grown lily is an important fac-
tor. But the Japanese bulbs have made

great inroads into the demand for the
Bermuda bulbs, on account of the lower
price for which the former can be sup-
plied, and the fact that, by reason of
more rapid steamers and transcontinental
railroads, it is possible to bring the bulbs
here as early as September; so that the
Bermuda lily does not occupy the impor-
tant position today that it did fifteen
years ago.

The Lily of the Valley.

Among other bulbous flowers, the lily
of the valley is one that has held its
supremacy. This always has been,_and
probably always will be, in great' de-
mand, while other bulbous stock, like
tulips, narcissi, and especially hyacinths,
do not occupy the prominent place today
that they did in former years. In the
larger cities, especially in the east, they
are not very profitable. They are more
largely grown in the west and in interior"
towns, where the supply of roses, car-
nations and the other finer flowers is
more or less limited. Bulbous stock is
more largely grown in Europe than in
this country, because, owing to the lack
of sunlight there, roses and carnations
cannot be produced so easily as they are
here, so that the Europeans are more
dependent on bulbous stock. Recently,
however, English growers have found
that by following the American method
of using shallow benches and building
very light houses, very good results can
be obtained. This is especially so with
carnations, English growers having-
learned tliat they can do much better
with our improved American varieties
than with the varieties that they have
grown heretofore; and there is begin-
nijig to bo a large demand for our new-
est and l)est sorts.

LAUREL IN CAR LOTS.

How many pounds or tons of moun-
tain laurel, loose, for festooning, will an
average railway ear hold ? H. L. L.

Laurel is not commonly shipped in car
lots, but we think a car would hold from
3.50 to 400 sacks, and as there are fifty
pounds in each sack the total weight of
a carload would thus be from ITj.'jOG to
20,000 pounds.

SEASONABLE REMINDERS.

Watchfulness Essential Now.

With the changeable conditions which
we may now expect, greater watchful-
ness and care are required. Especially
is this so when we commence firing. The
transition from natural to artificial heat
requires a keen and prompt adaptation
to the altered conditions, which cannot
be neglected witiiout incurring great
risks. In natural heat the drying out
or evaporation largely takes place from
the surface downwards, but just as soon
as we apply the artificial heat evapora-
tion takes "place at those points nearest
our radiators. These in many cases are
yet placed under the benches and where
this is the case the greatest care is nec-
essary to j)r event the roots from becom-
ing dry. A careful daily examination
of the condition of the soil should be
one of tiie first duties of the grower.

With the longer nights and lessened
sunshine, and also the natural inclina-
tion of stock to take a rest, great care
must be used in watering and ventila-
tion. The natural tendency of all plants
to go to rest at this season gives a deal
of trouble to the grower to get them
past this stage. Any sudden check, such
as an abrupt lowering of temperature,
withholding of water, or even the re-
verse, giving too much, will certainly
encourage this tendency.

Ventilatioa and Mulching.

The importance of proper ventilation
at this season cannot be overestimated,
ii8 the health of the stock entirely de-
pends on the way it is carried from
summer to winter conditions'. Shutting
down the ventilators to save a load or so
of coal results in an accumulation of
moisture in the house which will show in
the morning in the form of small glob-
ules of water on the leaves. If this is
permitted to occur frequently it will so
aflfect the leaves that they will become
so soft as to be susceptible to the first
trouble that strikes them, and these
troubles are many and frequent.

By firing when there is danger of the
temperature falling below 55 degrees
outside, and keeping the ventilators
open, many of these troubles can in a
great measure be avoided.

Mulching, to be of any use in helping
the early winter or holiday crops^
should be applied soon. While spealc^g
of mulching, I have found it profitable
to give the surface of the soil a light
sprinkling of wood ashes before apply-
ing the muich at this season. TTiis helps

to stiffen the stem and will most cer-
tainly give better color to the petals.

If the soil is deficient in calcareous
matter, and most of our soils are, a gen-
erous sprinkling of air-slaked lime will
also greatly benefit the plants during
the dark weather.

It should be remembered not to use
bone and lime in cerabination, as this
will release more ammonia than the
plants can use, so it is hot safe to use-
bone on limed benches for at least a
week, or until the gases from the lime
have been dissipated. Ribes.

HARDY GARDEN ROSES.

Will you please tell me the names of
the best pink and red hardy garden
roses, to grow here in Rhode Island?

W. B.

To name the best varieties of roses
for any locality is rather a hard task,
so many attending conditions, such as
climate, quality of soil, etc., having to
be taken into consideration. This que-
rist also failed to state what class of
roses he intended to grow.

In ramblers there are no safer varie-
ties than Crimson Rambler for red and
Uorothj Perkins for pink. In hybrid
perpetual roses, General Jacqueminot is a
good red and Captain Christy a good
pink. In teas, hybrid teas and hybrid
China roses, the best for outdoor pur-
poses are Bridesmaid, pink; Gruss an
Teplitz, red. Helen Gould is also a good
red in some localities.

There are many varieties which, ow-
ing to local conditions, may do as well
or even better than these. It is only
after years of experimenting that one
can reach the best results.

RlBES.

LIQUID MANURE.

How much chicken manure should we
use to the barrel of water for liquid
manure to be used on roses and carna-
tions, and how much cow manure should
we use for the same purpose? Should
we use fresh cow manure or should we
use manure that has lain in a pile for
some time, and why? G. B.

The quantity of chicken manure re-
quired to a barrel of water is one-half
peck, and this should be allowed to stand
until fermentation has commenced. For
a first application it should be even
weaker than this. For cow manure one-
half bushel to a barrel of water is suf-
ficient and, as before mentioned, first ap-
plications should always be a little
weaker, until the plants become accus-
tomed to this class of food.

The quality of the manure has also a
good deal to do with the experiment, as
the droppings from young stock possess
only about one-half the nutriment con-

tained in that from mature stpck, and
that procured from cattle fed on hay,
grain and straw is much superior to that
from grass-fed or brewery-fed stock.

Fresh cow manure is always prefer-
able when used for liquid feeding, but
the "why" would occupy more space in
these columns than could be allowed.
Expert growers, after long experience
and with all scientific aids, have found
this the most perfect of manures for
the purpose, and from a commercial
point of view it is safer to follow in
their footsteps than to branch off into
unknown paths. Bibes.

THE DEATH ROLL.

Edgar Sanders.

Edgar Sanders, the dean of the Chi-
cago florists, passed away early on the
jnorning of Sunday, September 29, after
an illness covering five years but whicli
had confined him to the house only dur-
ing the last few months. He was widely
known in the trade and esteemed as it
was given to but few men to be held in
the regard of their associates.

The funeral was held at 2 p. m.
Wednesday, October 2, from the home of
Mrs. H. P. Victor, 1639 Belmont avenye,
with whom Mr. Sanders had made his
the chapter chose as pall-bearers florists
which Mr. Sanders was treasurer, at-
tended in a body. The services were con-
ducted by Lincoln Park Chapter, of
which Mr, Sanders was a member, but
the Chapter chose as pall-bearers florists
who also are members of the Masonic
order, as follows: Andrew McAdams,
Sam Pearce, Anton Then, George Asmus,
John T, Muir and H. N. Bruns. Among
the twelve honorary pall-bearers were
four of the oldest florists, George Witt-
bold, J. C. Vaughan, F. F, Benthey and
E. Wienhoeber. The funeral was one of
the largest seen on the north side in
many a day, for Mr. Sanders was as
widely known in other walks of life, and
as highly esteemed, as he was in the
trade. Interment was at Graceland.

Edgar Sanders was born near East
Grinstead, in the northern part of Sus-
sex county, England, October 10, 1827.
His father was gardener on a neighbor-
ing estate, known as Felbridge Park.
Later his father became gardener at Til-
gate House, near the town of Crawley,
where Edgar attended school until he
was 1 2 years ohJ. At that age, being the
eldest of a family which eventually con-
tained fourteen children, Edgar found
it necessary to begin earning his own
living. t

His first regular work was in a nur-
sery, where he remained till 1841. Then
he obtained a position as under gar-
dener on a private estate at Lower Til-
gate, and attended to business so dili-
gently that he soon became foreman of
the establishment. In 1845, when he was
18 years of age, he went to London.
After some experience as a journeyman
gardener there, he held the position of
head gardener in two private places near
Egham, Surrey.

In 1853 Mr. Sanders decided to come
to America, and landed at New York
April 29 of that year. He immediately
proceeded to Albany, where his first
labor was performed in James Wilson's
nursery. Subsequently he obtained a
month's work laying out the grounds of
Luther Tucker, who was the original
publisher of Downing 's Horticulturist,
but at the time mentioned had started
the Country Gentleman. For this paper

Mr. Sanders began to write at once, and
was on its stafF for a period of six
years. After completing th« work for
Mr. Tucker, Mi-. Sanders becaut« garden-
er for General John P. B^tbbone, of
Albany, a gentleman who afterward be-
came famous for his collection of or-
chids. A few years after Mr. Sanders
left, the late William Gray, of Albany,
filled this position at Rathbone's.

After remaining with General Bath-
bone for nearly four years, Mr. Sanders
decided to try his fortune in the west.
He removed to Chicago, therefore, in
the spring of 1857, bought some land in
Lake View and built a cottage with a
50-foot greenhouse at the south side of
it. Lake View was then but a small
town with a few hundred inhabitants,
and Chicago's entire population was less
than 100,000. There were no sidewalks
north of North avenue, and the old
plank road, now Evanston avenue, was
the fashionable drive leading to the
equally fashionable Lake View House,
on the lake shore. It was on this plank
road that Mr. Sanders' greenhouses were
located.

When Mr. Sanders made this start as
a Chicago florist there were three other
florists in the city, each with about the
same extent of glass as his own and all
growinfj a general stock, including vege-
tables as well as flowers. In a few years
Mr. Sanders had erected several green-
houses and was becoming noted as a
shipper. In March, 1867, he opened the
first flower store in Chicago, at 56 Clark
street, under the Sherman House. The
great fire of 1871 checked his progress
for some time, although he was fortu-
nate in having only the store burned out.
He remained away from the retail trade
for three years; then he entered this
brahch again, continuing in it till about
1882, when he retired from active con-
nection with the florists' trade both as
a grower and a seller.

Mr. Sanders has been nearly all his
life a contributor to the horticultural
papers. He made his first venture in
that line at the age of 19, when he began
writing for the London Gardeners'
Chronicle. He also was a correspondent
from England to the American Garden-
ers' Chronicle, then published in New
York. As already stated, when he left
England and came to Albany he at once
began his six years' connection with
the paper called the Country Gentleman.
On arriving in Chicago, he became at-
tached to the staff of the Prairie Farmer,
published in that city, and continued
in that position until about 1890. He
also conducted for a short time a horti-
cultural department of a daily in Chi-
cago, and for some years had charge of
the department of Garden and Lawn in
the Orange Judd Farmer. About 1893
he became the Chicago correspondent of
the Florists' Exchange, and he continued
to act in that capacity until July, 1902,
when he was prostrated by an illness
from which he never fully recovered.

Aside from his work as a writer, Mr.
Sanders has always taken an active in-
terest in all horticultural matters. At
the age of 19 he belonged to a garden-
ers' society in England, and on coming
to America he participated without loss
of time in the organization of a horti-
cultural club in Albany. When he ar-
rived in Chicago he aided in the organ-
ization of the Cook County Agricultural
and Horticultural Society in 1857, and
also in the organization of the Chicago
Gardeners' Club the following year. At
the organization of tho Aniericnn Asso

Edgar Sanders.

elation of Nurserymen in 1876 Mr. San-
ders acted as temporary president, and
he was elected president again in 1884.
He was at one time president of the
Chicago Florists' Club, and for many
years has been its treasurer. He haw
also been a member of the executive com-
mittee of the Horticultural Society of
Chicago and has taken a deep interest
in the success of the annual exhibitions.
His last appearance among his many
warm friends in the trade was during a
visit to the 1906 show at the Coliseum.

Mr. Sanders has also during his busy
life taken an active part in political
work. From 1869 to 1873 he was com-
missioner of highways of the town of
Lake View, and he was supervisor and
treasurer of the same town from 1879
to 1883. He has also acted as deputy
sheriff and as deputy assessor. He was
appointed commissioner of public works
of Lake View when it was organized as
a city, and he retained that position dur-
ing most of Lake View's existence as
a separate city.

Mr. Sanders was married before leav-
ing England. His wife died in 1874.
He has five daughters, all of whom are
married, and he also has quite a number
of grandchildren.

Charles Schlecter.

< harles Schleeter, a florist who lived
on the Newburg road, two miles and a
half from Louisville, Ky., dropped dead
in a barber shop in that city, Saturday
evening, September 21. In response to
the barber's call of "Next," Mr.
Schleeter was stepping across the floor
to the barber chair, when he fell Rnd
was dead in a few seconds-

Henry A. Jones.

Henry A. Jones, a traveling represen-
tative of Ralph M. Ward & Co., New
York, died at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Florence J. Barton, Cromwell,
Conn., August 23. His illness was of
short duration. Being attacked with
acute indigestion while on the road, he
hurried home, but died in four days.

Mr. Jones was a man of many sterling
qualities, genial and very companionable,
and made a great many friends during
his travels. He was born in Baltimore,
Md., February 29, 1840. His parents died
when he was quite' young, leaving him
to shift for himself. Most of his educa-
tion was obtained by studying after
working hours in the evening. During
the war and for several years afterward
he was chief clerk in the quartermaster
general's department at Washington, and
also-held other responsible government
positions. After leaving the governmenPs '"y.
employ he was for many years a whole-
sale dealer in builders ' supplies at
Washington. He married Frances Kath-
erine Howser, of Baltimore, who died in
1881. He leaves four daughters and one
son.

a widow, two sons and a daughter. His
brother, William C. Barry, is the present
head of the business founded by the late
George Ellwanger and the late Patrick

fiEOKGE DiCK.SON, of the firm of Alex-
ander Dickson & Sons, Newtownards, Ire-
land, raisers of the Liberty, Killaruey
and. iiiany other well-known roses, has
been a Victoria Medalist of Honor.

William Scott advocates the late
planting of tulips outside for spring
flowering; he says that bulbs planted
as late as the end of November will re-
main longer in flower than those planted
the middle of October.

The flower business is a rapid-fire
affair; celerity is an essential in the
execution of practically every order.
But that is no reason why a florist
should fail to place his own orders f i ••
supplies as much in advance as possible.

No, it isn't true that every florist who
amounts to anything has a printed let-
ter-head. There are hundreds of grow-
ers and others who are making a good
living at the trade who still send onf
their orders and other communications
on ])lain paper, unbusiness-like as that
may seem.

All lilies are better for fall planting,
but many varieties of .Japanese lilies do
not arrive from .Japan before the grouad
freezes up. There is one method, how-
ever, by which they can be planted late in
November or in December, says J. Wil-
kinson Elliott, and that is to cover the
ground in which they are to be planted
before it freezes with eight to twelve
inches of stable manure. This will pre-
vent the ground from freezing, and the
manure can be removed and the lilies
planted upon their arrival.

Anp now New Orleans proposes to
have a world's fair, the Panama Bi-
oceanic Exposition, in 1915.

Send out a neatly printed announce-
ment to your bedding plant customers,
calling their attention to the Dutch
bulbs, and you will pick up many new
orders for planting beds this fall.

The McKinley memorial was dedicated
at Canton, O., September 30, and co-
incident with it H. M. Altick sent out
a statement of the florists' contribution
to the fund. He showed that $1,051.64,
given by 231 contributors, has been
turned over to the memorial association

POSTAGE ON FOREIGN LETTERS.

According to the provisions of the
last Universal Postal Convention, signed
in Rome, the maximum weight of a let
ter that can be sent to a foreign country
for 5 cents is now double what it for-
merly was. In other words, the rate of
postage charged in the United States on
letters mailed to foreign countries, in-
stead of 5 cents for each half ounce, as
formerly, is now 5 cents for the first
ounce, and 3 cents for each additional
ounce or fraction of an ounce. This re-
duction took effect October 1, 1907. The
rates on other classes of foreign mail
matter remain unchanged.

IT ISN'T RIGHT, IS IT?

A short time ago a small advertise
ment, which we inserted in the Review
for two issues, brought us nearly $200
clear money. We received orders from
several different states. But, among all
those who ordered, not one «»i4~he had
seen our advertisement in the ReV^w.
They simply stated what they desired
and remitted the cash for it. Now/if
we had put our advertisement in any
other florists' paper — which we had in-
tended to do, but neglected it in some
way or other — we should never have
known where the custortiers saw our ad-
vertisement, but as we advertised only
in the Review, we knew surely that it
was the Review that brought us the
orders.

Now, do you think this is right! We
certainly do not. It is not fair either
to the publisher or to the advertiser.
The advertiser, if he has advertisements
in several papers, does not know which
paper he is- getting his orders from, or
which is the best paper for him to ad-
vertise in. Neither does the paper re
ceive the credit due it, if not mentioned
in the order. And again, the person
who receives an order is sometimes puz-
zled in his attempt to decide whether
the items in the order were selected from
an advertisement 'in a trade paper or
from his catalogue, whereas, if this in-
formation were given in the order, it
might save much time and trouble and
would be better in every way.

This is a true account of our experi-
ence, and we should be more than pleased
to hear what the publishers have to say
about the matter. We believe in giving
praise to whom praise is due, and we
try to do it. Alonzo J. Bryan.

[The publishers of the Review devote
considerable space to carrying the line
under each advertisement, "Mention the
Review when you write." Most readers
heed it, we believe, and Mr. Bryan's ex-
perience in this respect is quite excep-
tional, for prompt and satisfactory re-
sponse, mentioning the paper, is the rule
whenevor seasonable stock ig offered.]

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The market has had another of its
violent fluctuations since last report and
now is well on its way back to the con-
ditions which prevailed a week ago.

It rained almost incessantly for
four days in the latter part of last
week, and the outdoor flowers are prac-
tically over. A few asters still are seen,
but they are so poor that few of them
are acceptable to the retailers. The long
period of sunless weather also had the
effect of reducing cuts under glass, with
the result that at the end of last week
there was a material reduction of all
lines of supply in the market and a cor-
responding increase in demand. Monday
found the market shorter than it has
been in several months and the demand,
by comparison to the supply, was some-
thing enormous.

It invariably happens that when sup-
plies are sharply reduced in the Chicago
market, they also are reduced every-
where else in the middle west. The re-
sult is that those who have their own,
or local, supplies in times of normal pro-
duction, are forced io call on Chicago
and the demand upon this market is
multiplied several times. If the buyer
stops to consider the result he will not
be surprised at some of the things which
happen. Take into account Monday's
condition: supplies not more than half
what they were a week before; demand
three times what it was a week ago. By
rights prices should be multiplied by six.

It was, of course, impossible to fill all
orders. Such a scurrying for stock must
inevitably result in a sharp advance in

prices, but the advance always is lim-
ited by the figures which the local buy-
ers can afford to pay for stock. Out-of-
town buyers may not appreciate the fact,
but it is nevertheless true that on Mou'
day local buyers paid^ as high as 5 cents
for carnations, of course in limited quan-
tity and when they were urgently needed ;
but the out-of-town buyers got off
cheaper. Shippers always favor the reg-
ular out-of-town customer in times of
sudden scarcity, although they do not
always get credit for it. The advance
on roses was not as sharp as on carna-
tions, for the demand was not so great
and the supply was larger. Bride may
be an exception. There was an espe-
cially heavy call for Beauties and local
buyers paid as high as $5 per dozen for
select long stock. Chrysanthemums were
about the only item in increased sup-
ply.

This week has brought a return of
bright skies and, under the influence
of the genial sun, cuts are again increas-
ing. If the weather continues good
the latter part of this week will see sup-
jtlies normal for the season and prices
where they ordinarily are. It is predict-
ed, however, that carnations will bring
higher prices through October this year
than they did last year. This, of course,
is somewhat dependent upon the demand,
but it seems assured that the demand
will be strong and the carnation grow-
ers nearly all say that, while their plants
are strong and healthy, they are much
smaller than they were at this date last
year and the crop may be said to be at
least three or four weeks late.

There are abundant supplies of all
greens, although the demand is excel-
lent, store openings beipg numerous.

Rhinebeck Violet*.

A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry,
returned September 28 from a week's
stay at Rhinebeck, N. Y., during which
he visited a large number of violet grow-
ers in Rhinebeck and adjoining towns.
Mr. Vaughan reports that there has been
a large increase in glass devoted to
violets there this season. Not only have
many of the older growers added to their
glass, but at least a dozen new places
have been started. He says the stock
looks better than he ever remembers to
have seen it at this date. He anticipates
not only a large production but also ex-
cellent quality this season. Mr. Vaughan
met J. K. Allen, A. J. Guttman and
other New York wholesalers in the violet
country and says that the development
of the western markets is being watched
closely, not only by the growers but by
the wholesalers.

Mn. Field.

The farther Peter Reinberg goes with
the Mrs. Marshall Field rose the more
he thinks of it. It is well known that
the productiveness of this variety was
the means of largely increasing his busi-
ness during the summer months and
Leonard Kill shows sales-tickets for Mrs.
Field at 20 cents each within the pres-
ent week. Of course no great propor-
tion bring this figure, but several hun-
dreds are cut each day which bring from
10 to 15 cents.

Interest in Asters.

E. C. Amling says that he has re-
ceived strong evidence of the interest
taken by Aster growers an procuring the
newest and best varieties. Since be ad-
vertised the new Crego aster in the Hr-

VIEW, during the period he was market-
ing the cut blooms, he has received a
number of requests that he procure from
the grower, as soon as ready, seeds for
his correspondents, several of whom men-
tion their indifference as to what the
price may be.

Auxiliary Telephones.

There now are two telephone lines
eonnecting with the city store of the
Poehlmann Bros. Co. The old phone
number has been dropped and the in-
coming call now is Bandolph 35, the
peculiar feature being that this also is
the street number. The auxiliary line is
Randolph 36.

An interesting feature of the tele-
phone service, which not all users under-
stand, is that where a subscriber has
two lines with consecutive numbers, the
two plugs in the switchboard are circled,
BO that the operator knows the two wires
lead to the same house and if the num-
ber called for is ^usy the other one can
be given without delay, unless that also
is occupied.

It was to get two numbers together
that the Poehlmann Bros. Co. gave up its
old number. The same method of oper-
ating is practiced wherever any sub-
scriber has two or more consecutive num-
bers.

The Weather in September.

September was cold, the mean temper-
ature being 65 degrees, or 5 degrees be-
low^ last year, jhe rainfall waa.- 4.49
inches, or 1.41 inclies more than nocmal.
We are now 3.17 inches ahead for the
year. The wind was strong, from the
southwest: total movement, 9.416 miles

There were seven clear days, eleven partly
cloudy, and twelve cloudy.

Various Notes.

George Keinberg is cutting quite a few
orchids, in the two houses now devote<l
to that specialty. He has fine cattleyas
and Dendrobium Phalsenopsis.

L. Coatsworth, president of the Ben-
they-Coatsworth Co., says they will di
vide an acre of their property at New-
Castle and sell it as building lots, put-
ting the money into the purchase of other
land near New Castle. Their investment
at New Castle turns out to have been a
profitable deal, not only from a floricul-
tural standpoint but from a real estate
point of view, as the town has grown
rapidly in their direction and values have
greatly advanced.

Word comes from Aurora that W. C.
Ysin Burgen and C. H. Stahl, of Chicago,
who were negotiating for a site for a
large greenhouse plant north of Aurora,
have abandoned their idea.

Frank Oechslin, who has concentrated
his growing of pot plants at the range at
2572 West Adams street, made a record
in the matter of erecting his seven new-
houses, each one 120 feet long. They
were begun August 10 and completed
September 23. Among his many items
of stock are some especially good chrys-
anthemum pot plants.

C. M. Dickinson, treasurer and man-
ager of the E. H. Hunt corporation, re-
turned September 28, with his family,
from a month's stay at Benton Harbor,
where he took a course of baths for
rheumatism. He was greatly benefited.

L. Baumann & Co. supplied a large
part of the artificial flower and foliage

work for the decoration which is on at
Field's this week. Their establishment
has been working night and day for
weeks preparing the Targe quantity of
material needed and Mr. Baumann per-
sonally superintended its delivery and
putting up. He was on duty constantly
from Friday night until Monday morn-
ing. Although the George Wittbold
Co. put in an immense quantity of
outdoor stock and thousands of palms
and ferns, it made comparatively little
showing in the mammoth store. The cut
flowers also failed to create any effect
as of lavish use, the store is so great.
Wittbolds have several other decorations
on this week.

Peter Reinberg is crowded in the city
store and the need of more room is felt
to the extent that inquiries have been
made as to the terms of a lease on a
larger space. This has given rise to
various rumors as to his intentions, all
of which are said to be news to those
who have charge of the selling end of the
business.

N. J. Wietor is more than pleased with
the way the October Frost chrysanthe-
mum is doing with his firm and with
nearly all to whom they sold cuttings last

him especially to note that the growers

the bud to take, have profited by the ex-

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business is not as steady as it might
be. Funeral work is the bulk of the
business done throughout the city, and
outside of that and a few small wed-
dings, I cannot say much for the cut
flower trade last week. This month the
trade is looking forward to a good busi-
ness, as a number of large orders have
been booked for weddings, receptions and
dinners.

Stock is becoming better in color and
length of stem. In roses American
Beauties have the call, as in all grades
they clean up daily at good prices. Of
Bride and Maid there is little select
stock, but plenty of first and second
grades. Carnot, Kichmond and Killar-
ney sell well when not too open.

Carnations are also better as to bloom.
Stems still are too short to bring any-
thing like high prices. Enchantress is
the best in the market. Rose-pink En-
chantress, too, is good. Lawson, Car-
dinal and Lady Bountiful have good
flowers ojily. Chrysanthemums are ex-
pected to arrive this week. Asters are
over. A few small California violets
are coming, but meet with slow sale.
Cosmos is expected this week. Quite a
few good dahlias are in. In greens the
market is well stocked. Wild smilax has
a good call at all the wholesale houses.

Variotis Notes.

Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, was
a caller last week. He will be in Spring-
field all this week, where he expects to

see a great many of his St. Louis and
Chicago friends at the Illinois state fair.
Harry Rieman was in Hot Springs,
Ark., last week, representing Ostertag
Bros., who had the decorations during
the street fair at that place.

The engagement of Miss Hattie Wil-
kerson and Robert F. Tesson is an-
nounced. The wedding will take place
sometime this month.

Mrs. William Ellison is back from her
summer trip and is busy making prepa-
rations for a number of wedding decora-
tions, orders for which were booked while
she was away.

Adolph Brix announces that he will
hold a free flower show for the benefit
of his north side customers in the Young
Men 's Christian Association rooms. Nine-
teenth and St. Louis avenue, November
7-9, just one week before the big show
to be given by the St. Louis Horticul-
tural Society. Mr. Brix is enterprising
and has built up a large trade in North
St. Louis, where he started in a small
way.

Grimm & Gorley are making big prep-
arations for the float which is to repre-
sent them in the big label parade this
week.

A number of large fall opening dec-
orations were made this week by Beyer,
Schray and Young, all using a great
many plants.

This week is called Veiled Prophet's
and Roosevelt's week and all the down-
town stores are handsomely decorated for
the occasion. Most of the work was
done by the Sehuerman Floral Co., which
makes a specialty of this kind of work.

Mrs. M. M. Ayers has her Grand ave-
nue place looking finer than ever, with

a great many changes. She also has a
handsome new delivery wagon.

Miss M. S. Newman also has a new,
good looking delivery wagon. Since she
returned from her summer trip many
good changes have been made.

September 30 the large hall in the
Merchants' Exchange was decorated by
C. Young & Sons Co. for the Veiled
Prophet's ball and President Roosevelt.
George B. Windier will have a fine lot
of pot chrysanthemums.

A telegram to Carew Sanders, an
nouncing the death of his cousin, Edgar
Sanders, at Chicago, on September 29,
caused much regret. C. C. Sanders at-
tended the funeral.

Mrs. M. S. Vesey, of Fort Wayne,
Ind., is a visitor this week, a guest of
the Misses Meinhardt.

A. J. Bentzen, of the Bentzen Floral
Co., reports that they will have a large
float in the label parade October 5. They
have a fine lot of poinsettias. The com-
pany will make an exhibit of mum plants
at the flower show.

The St. Louis Florists' Club meeting
will take place next Thursday after-
noon, October 10, in the Burlington
building. President Young would like
to see a large attendance at this meeting.

J. J. B.

Des PiiAiNES, III. — A. F. Longren has
gone to see the floral exhibit at the state
fair.

We frankly say that we look forward
to the arrival of each edition of the Be-
viEW, as we find it almost impossible to
get along without it. — Nanz & Neuner.

NEVYOEK.

The Market

We have had a week of rain and chill,
with little change in business condi-
tions. A slight improvement was no-
ticeable Saturday. With cooler weather
and sunshine, with which the week has
begun, the market should harden and
prices commence their fall advance.

The long spell of wet weather has de-
pleted the supply of outdoor stock, dah-
lias and asters showing the bad effects
of the storm and shipments growing less.
Both will be out of the way apparently
before the chrysanthemum flood begins.
Up to date few mums have reached the
market. Those arriving have been used
in decorating the retail windows and
have brought good prices. Monrovia,
Montmort and Gastellier comprise the
arrivals and as high as 75 cents was paid
for the best of them.

Bride, Maid and Richmond are improv-
ing daily, and for the best 6 cents is the
asking price; 25 cents is top for Beau-
ties, and there are few of them. The

lower grades of all roses are correspond-
ingly low in price.

Carnations improve slowly. A few
good ones are arriving, but nine-tenths
of the supply is short-stemmed and dis-
posed of at buyer's option. Cosmos is
fine and abundant. There are plenty of
orchids and values have retrograded.

Of violets the less said the better. The
demand cannot be hoped for before the
middle of the month, and yet the grow-
ers are sending them along, as if it were
in our power to create a call for them.

Hodesoo Bankrupt.

A petition in bankruptcy was filed
September 27, against J. M. Hodgson
(corporation), 718 Fifth avenue and
Newport, R. T., by Alex J. Guttman, a
creditor for $530 on two protested notes.
It was alleged that the corporation while
insolvent paid $200 to a creditor in New-
port to prefer him and permitted Julius
Roehrs Co., a creditor, to obtain prefer-
ence through legal proceedings. The
business was established in 1865 by J. M.
Hodgson, who died some years ago, and
the present corporation succeeded to the

business in February, 1902, with a capi
tal stock of $40,000; Charles F. Hodg-
son, president. Joseph A. Arnold, at-
torney for the corporation, said the fail-
ure was due to continued poor business
and lack of capital. Liabilities are placed
at $10,000 and assets $5,000.

Various Notes.

The New York Herald of September
29 devoted a whole page to the modest
violet, with illustrations of planting,
picking and packing that were correct
and interesting. The violet crop of the
country is estimated at $2,000,000 yearly,
Rhinebeck getting $500,000 as its share.
Overproduction is lamented.

The Florists' Club meets October 14
to listen to a lecture by Mr. Nash, of the
Botanical Gardens, on "Water Lilies,"
illustrated. There will be a special of-
fering of southern cured delicacies from
the Jamestown exposition, imported by
Caterer Nugent, and an exhibition of
novelties.

The dahlia show at the American In
stitute last week was a success. Large
delegations from society's ranks and a
goodly number of the common people at-
tended. A few of the florists and gar-
deners were also there. Julius Roehrs
Co. exhibited a splendid bank of orchids
and foliage plants. In this department
there was no competition. Rickards
Bros, were the only bulb exhibitors, and
had a fine assortment. Will Rickards
was in charge. Ellwanger & Barry, of
Rochester, made their usual excellent ex-
hibit of fruit. J. T. Lovett, of Little
Silver, N. J., carried off many of the
honors for dahlias. The new red single,
Seawood, deserves special mention. T;es-

the leading private estates of America.

James Hart, in addition to his whole-
sale cut flower business, has done a large
trade in New York hotel decoration and
has invented a new style of plant stand
that is practical and popular.

Reed & Keller have invented a new
process of preserving magnolia leaves
that makes them durable. Wreaths can
be made up, and will keep almost indefi-
nitely. Mr. Reed says the firm is work-
ing night and day, and away behind in
filling orders, so great is the demand. All
tlie florists ' supply houses have the same
story of abundant orders, and large ship-
ments. There does not seem to be any
lack of optimism and enterprise in this
branch of the trade.

Ford Bros, are receiving fine Beauties
from the Florex Gardens, of North

sympathy of all in the death of his wife

Walter Sheridan has been quite ill for
two weeks, but is now fast convalescing.

A notable decoration October 2 was
ma<1c by J. H. Small & Sons at the Wal-
dorf-Astoria on the occasion of the ban-
quet of the cotton nwjrchants of this city
to their English visitors of the Liverpool
Exchange. American Beauties and im-
mense quantities of cotton balls were
nised in the unique display.

F. H. Traendly, J. K. Allen and Jo-
seph Fenrich gave considerable time last
week to traveling and, in fact, all the
wholesalers have made fraternal calls,
during the last month, on their sources
of supply. Everyone comes back opti-

PHILADBLPHIA.

The Riling Eastern Market.

Despite the weather, conditions are
steadily improving. Tlie volume of busi-
ness is larger than a week.agp, with last
Saturday corning very close' to a 'record-
maker for September. Dahlias are ar-
riving in enormous quantities, on tlic
days when rain has not spoiled tlie
blooms. The demand for them is excel-
lent, at prices that appear renuinerative.
Asters are on the wane, the bulk of tlic
stock being of poorer quality, and much
shorter in stem. Prices are receding.
The immense crop of tea roses, so notice-
able during the middle of last month, is
now over, with scarcely enough good
stock to satisfy the demand, the result
being advancing prices, especially on
Kaiserin, Bride, Maid and Killarney.

Valley is in good demand. Cattleyas
are a feature of the market, the quantity
larger, probably, than ever before at this
season, the quality very fine. Tiiere ap-
pears to be enough demand to keep the

jtrice steady at this week's lower quota-
tion. Single violets are becoming more
|)lentiful and have improved in quality
and length of stem. They are also fra-
grant, an indispensalde quality in the
violet. Gardenias have made their a|)-
pcarance from distant points. Cosmos is
fine and abundant. Tuberoses can now
be iiad in quantity. Chrysanthemums
have made their appearance in numbers,
Monrovia, Mrs. Kalb, Glory of Pacific
and.Cremo being first varieties.

Wild smilax is in Jictive demand. The
market for greens is only fair.

liospitality extended to its members who
were present at the entertainment ten-
dered to the S. A. F. at Riverton August
21. The letter continued by requesting
the company to send specimen fronds of
each variety of nephrolepis on the place
to the October meeting of the club, held
October 1. The letter was signed by the
president, J. W. Jones.

The other letter was from the Detroit
Florists' Club, couched in terms of
hearty commendation for the courtesies
exteijded by the company to those of its
members Avho were present at the outing
tendered the convention in August at
Riverton, and highly commending the ex-
cellent culture everywhere in evidence on
the farm. This letter was signed by J. F.

L. J. Reuter, who made many friends

was not intended to share the fate of all
invitations where time is not set. It so
happened, however, that the tide of
iiuman events landed Phil at Westerly in
the wee small hours, with but limited

what each of us ought to do to educate
the public. Mr. Skidelsky intended to
tell, and probably has told, the Council
of Horticulture that the true advance-
ment of public interests in beautifying
the home lay in the hands of the florists
themselves, who should make their places
object lessons to their customers.

Phil believes that it is not the right
thing to look over a man's place when
that man is absent, or it may be in bed,
no matter how early a riser he be, so a
glance only was given to the houses, re-
vealing the fact that Mr. Reuter believes
in producing everything that his cus-
tomers need, and in doing everything
that he attempts thoroughly. But time
flies, and Phil was obliged to go just as
the first employee was seen riding in on

European Notes.

George A. Strohlein, who returned

however, has ripened the wood nicely,

Azalea shipments will probably be later
this year than usual, but it is believed
the plants will be up to the standard.

The demand for palms in Europe is
excellent. The cold weather in the south
of France, where large crops of Phoenix
Canariensis were frosted in the open
ground, has quickened the demand for
kentias and other palms to fill their place.

Horticulturists, in Germany especially,

Vegetable Forcing.

BEES IN GREENHOUSES.

'Not many years ago vegetable growers
devoted much time and labor to the hand
pollination of fruit-bearing vegetables in-
doors in winter, such as cucumbers and
tomatoes. The slow, tedious task of
knocking the pollen from the flowers into
a silver spoon or a watch crystal on a
paddle, and dipping a tiny camel 's-hair
brush into this and applying the pollen to
the fruit-bearing flowers, would certainly
seem an expensive operation at the pres-
ent prices paid for labor. Thanks to the
honey bees and our better knowledge of
handling them, the vegetable forcer does
not now have to hire extra help for fertil-
izing or pollinating the blooms in order
'to have the plants set fruit;

In plants and flowers there is what cor-
responds to sexes in animals. In some
plants both sexes of bloom exist on each
plant, and in some others the sexes are
on different plants. And again, in some
Instances both sexes exist in the same
bloom. In any case the fruitf«lness de-
pends upon pollination of the jjistil by
grains of pollen from the stamen. The
stigma, the upper part of the pistil, is
covered with a sticky substance to which
the pollen adheres when placed thei'e,
whether by hand, by insects or accident-
ally by currents of air. As soon as the
pollen is located it puts forth pollen
tubes, which lengthen until they reach the
ovules. This completes fertilization and
causes the fruit or seed to grow and ma-
ture for reproduction.

Honey bees are now used in nearly all
vegetable-forcing establishments for the
pollination of the blooms. In their efforts
to gather honey they get themselves liter-
ally covered with the pollen, which they
seldom fail to leave just where it is
wanted in going from bloom to bloom,
and a good swarm in a house of cucum-
bers will accomplish in less than an hour
each morning more than several hands
cobld do in a whole day.

While the value of the honey bee as a
pollen distributer is known to many, it is
safe to say that the majority of garden-
ers and horticulturists do not realize or
appreciate the great value of our little
friend and helper. In some fruit-grow-
ing localities, where large fruit farms are
owned or controlled by one person, many
swarms of bees are kept and a greater
profit is made on the increased production
of fruit than on the honey produced. The
flower must be pollinated and, as in all
the other work, if there are not enough
men or bees to do it there is a loss. In
some instances careful tests have been
made, which proved beyond a reasonable
doubt that the absence of bees was the
cause of very light crops. To the out-
door gardener or fruit grower who does
not know of bees within a half-mile of
his place, we would say, keep some your-
self, by all means.

Bees are sometimes supposed to injure
fruit by stinging it or tearing it open.
This supposition is, however, incorrect.
The honey bee will gather honey material
where fruit is already stung by wasps or
torn by birds, etc., but will not injure it
in any way to cause the juice to flow.

Bees are often poisoned in great quan-
tities by getting onto fruit trees which
were sprayed with arsenates and other
poisonous mixtures when in full bloom.
This should never be done, but.the poison
should be applied just before the buds

THE READERS' CXJRNER.

A Hint to G>rrespoadents*

I suppose the Review is open to sug-
gestions from its readers; at least, I
take it for granted that it is. I have
noticed that communications, seasonable
suggestions, carnation and mum notes,
etc., seldom give either a date, so as to
enable the reader to determine the exact
time of the season the writer had iu
mind when writing his article, or a post-
oflSce address, so one could judge of the
climatology the writer had to contend
with.

I suppose the Eeview is cosmopolitan
in its intentions, aiming to cover the
whole United States and not only the
local conditions where* it is published,
for what may be seasonable in northern
Illinois, or in Massachusetts, or Penn-
sylvania, may be out of season here, in
Texas. If climate and soil be two es-
sentials for proper plant growth, then
before one can theorize on the value
of advice it is absolutely necessary for
one to know where the article was
written or what locality the writer had
in mind. I see that most of your ar-
ticles and communications are only
signed with the initials of the writers'
names. It seems to me that if an ar-
ticle is worth publishing, the writer
ought not to object to his name and
address being published in full, if it is
withheld at his request. Anyway, there
is little utility in the publication of a
suggestion or note if one has to guess
at the conditions the writer had in mind
when he wrote it.

If you will take note of this point
and compare the difference between soil
and climate in northern Illinois and
southwestern Texas, you will see what
I am driving at. J. J. Nussbaumer.

THE PITTSBURG PARKS.

I recently visited some of the Pittsburg
parks, beginning with Schenley park,
where I met JMr. Jones, and together we
took a look through all the greenhouses
and their surroundings. There is some
fine bedding here and the plants in gen-
eral are looking well. The chrysanthe-
mums are especially fine, and their ap-
pearance indicates that there will be as
Koo*! a show this year as ever. At High-
land park, also, the bedding is beautiful

Onion sets may be plentiful, but the
brokers who deal more or less in the
commodity cannot find many to start the
season with.

The fact that Alaska peas are selling
for $4 per bushel in round lots to the
trade is an indication that there is a
scarcity somewhere.

In Wisconsin there is reported to be
a light crop of seed potatoes, although
julvices indicate that in the country at
large there is a normal yield.

A. T. BoDDiNGTON, New York, will this
Heasou send out a new cosmos, named
Lady Lenox, of gigantic size, the flowers
being said to be six to seven inches in
diameter.

Max Wilhelmi, of the Barteldes Seed
Co., Lawrence, Kan., was a recent visitor
at Chicago. He spent several days in
the vicinity and it is not thought that he
was looking for popcorn, although he in-
timated that might be the object of his
quest.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia,
report orders for their two new Spencer
sweet peas coming in at a remarkable
rate. One order received September 24,
from a retail seed house, called for 8,000
])acket8. The novelties are packeted in
two sizes, containing ten seeds and twen-
ty-five seeds each.

The L. L. Olds Seed Co., Clinton,
Wis., located right in the barley country,
report that they are no more fortunate
than the rest of the seed trade this
year, in the matter of crops for seed
j)urpose8. Potatoes, barley, speltz and
oats are their specialties, and all are
short crops. Corn with them is two
weeks late and not yet out of danger.

L. L. Mat & Co., St. Paul, have in-
corporated with a capital stock of $200,-
000, one-half preferred. OflScers are:
L. L. May, president and treasurer; F.
W. May, vice-president; E. W. Eeid, sec-
retary; W. H. Lovell, assistant treasurer.
This firm has vacated the warehouse on
Minnesota street and moved its offices to
the second floor of the Sixth street store.
A new fireproof concrete warehouse is
being erected on Como avenue, near the
greenhouses, where the wholesale seed
business will be k^andled.

Otto Schwill, son of the late Otto
Schwill, has acquired the interests of all
the other heirs and some other stock-
holders in the corporation known as Otto
Schwill & Co., at Memphis, of which he
is now president. Mr. Schwill has for
years done a large florists' business as
the Idlewild Greenhouses, which he has
now largely turned over to a manager,
«o that he can give his personal atten-
tion to the seed business, which is in-
creasing rapidly. The firm was estab-
lished in 1869 and incorporation fol-
lowed in 1899. The premises at 20
South Front street have just been
doubled by securing No. 18, next door.
A general catalogue trade is done.
Jacob F. Haid, a brother-in-law of Mr.
Schwill, is secretary, treasurer and of-
fice manager.

B. Suzuki, of the Yokohama Nur-
sery Co., thinks the Island of Formosa
will be looked to in the future for our
supplies of longiflorum, replacing the
Bermuda-grown bulbs to a large extent.

The fact that th& California onion
crop for seed is turning out better than
was expected in the excitement follow-
ing the floods last spring should not
cause anyone to lose sight of the fact
that the high water materially reduced
the acreage, so that a big scarcity is in-
evitable.

Beans are reported to be spoiling in
the straw. Many crops were cut pre-
vious to the wet weather and have been
lying in windrows. The weather during
the last stages of the crop's growth was
not favorable to good ripening and the
moisture left in the pod, together with
the wet straw, is causing a mould that
will cut the crop considerably.

WESTERN NEW YORK CROPS.

The general line of crops in western
New York will be unusually light ; all va-
rieties, including field and sweet corn,
beans, etc. Tomatoes will be only a me-
dium crop.

The season was so backward that our
asters, of which we grow in the neighbor-
hood of forty acres, are in full bloom
September 25, but with a favorable fall
will ripen. C. H. ViCK.

ONION SETS.

The Chicago onion set crop is har-
vested, and part of it has been put into
winter storage, filling for early orders
is under way and a few cars have been
. shipped out.

The crop, while far below normal as to
quantity, disappoints no one, as this has
been expected since midsummer. The
worst hit of any grower, as far as a
short crop goes, is unquestionably the
one who had the most land planted. As
has been recorded previously in the Re-
view, many of the gardeners, with whom
onion set growing is but a side line, have
fared better than the professionals and
have no cause for complaint. The land
that these gardeners work is situated in
such a way as enabled it to withstand
the adverse conditions of the freakish
weather. The quantity of sets harvested
in this favored section did not, however,
exceed 15,000 bushels, largely whites,
and for the most part they have been
bought in by the Leonard Seed Co.

The quantity of sets harvested this

year at Chicago has been variously esti-
mated. It has been given out by S. F.
Leonard that the crop at Chicago in a
normal year is not far from 400,000
bushels. The same authority, it is said,
puts this year's crop at 240,000 bushels.
This is 100,000 bushels less than last
year's crop and as no onion set section
claims an increase this year over its last
year's harvest, the situation is obvious.

MICHIGAN BEAN PROSPECTS.

Alfred J. Brown, Grand Rapids, Mich.,
vjrites as follows under date of Septem-
ber 27:

"We wish to correct you in your re-
ports of the bean crop. The weather
has been, and is still, most unfavorable,
and beans have been damaged to a very
large extent. This embraces all varieties.
The most damage, we fear, will be done
to the green-podded sorts, such as Val-
entines, Refugees, Mohawks and all late-
maturing varieties. It is true that some
crops of wax beans have been harvested,
but there will be a heavy shrinkage on
account of so much hand-picking, and,
besides, the beans do not seem to be
turning out in quantity anything like

what we expected. Taking the crop as a
whole, it is short and this fact will
be recognized a little later, when bean
growers begin to get in their crops and
hand-pick them."

LONG ISLAND CABBAGE.

The seed crops on Long Island have
all been harvested and, so far as cab-
bage was concerned, returns have been
rather better than anticipated, although
upon some varieties they have been short.
TTie demand for cabbage seed, particu-
larly in the south, has been much larger

than for two or three years past and this
increased demand, more than any great
shortage in the crop itself, has led to a
short supply on quite a number of the
varieties.

The spinach crop on Long Island was
not better than one-half crop and all of
the seed crops were shortened by the ex-
cessively dry summer.

one season results, for it is probably
unequaled for producing a crop of feed
in early spring and gives a succession of
growths until fall, but is not perennial
and hence not adapted to permanent
pastures. According to reports from
Great Britain, this sort is in harvest and
a fair crop is expected; the color vpill
perhaps be a little darker than last
year. From France a good crop is re-
ported, and Conrad Appel, of Darm-
stadt, says samples already to hand shovr
satisfactory qualities. The seed will be
obtained at about the same prices as last
season. The harvest of Lolium perenne,
perennial ryegrass, is also late this year,
and most of the samples represent darker
qualities. Heavy lots of more than
twenty-six pounds bushel-weight will be
scarce this season and in strong demand.
Prices rule somewhat higher than in
1906.

PEAS AND BEANS.

S. M. Pease, president of the Cleve-
land Seed Co., Avon, N. Y., writes as
follows under date of September 25:

"Our pea crop in Canada is showing
up fully fifty per cent short of an average
crop, so far as deliveries have been made.
As a rule the first deliveries are from
the best crops. We do not anticipate any
improvement as to average quantity.
Values of the leading sorts have nearly
doubled from early contract prices, es-
pecially of canners' sorts.

"Beans in western New York must
necessarily make a light crop. The dry
weather when they were podding and
filling had a serious effect on them. It
is true no deliveries of the new crop
have been made yet, and we may possi-
bly be wrong in our judgment, but guess
not. Another thirty days will tell the
story. ' '

SOUTHERN SEED CROPS.

After all the unfavorable reports of
this, most disappointing of seasons, it
is a pleasure to receive such a letter as
the following, dated September 25, writ-
ten by the Amzi Godden Seed Co., Bir-
mingham, Ala.:

' ' It might be of interest to your read-
ers to know that we have the best crop
of cowpeas in the south we have had for
a number of years. The crop is not only
large, notwithstanding the high price of
seed last year, but owing to the favor-
able season for the maturity of the cow-
pea the quality will be much better than
usual, and of course prices will rule much
lower.

"The crop of melon seed, which has
already been harvested, is only about an
average one. But the quality and ger-

AN EXPERT OPINION

While in Erglind during- July the writer received a letter from Mr. Lester L. Mohse, the
well-known grrower and sweet pe* specialist, of California, in which he spoke most enthusiastically of
these two new Spencers. Mr. Morse had kindly traveled several hundred miles with our Mr. Earl to
see the cro s which were being grown for us in San l.uis Obispo County, California, by Rev. L. C.
Rui'TZABN. on whose grounds both varieties had originated.

When preparing this, it occurred to us that it would br well to give the opinion of such a recog-
nized expert as Mr. Morse, who had no financial interest whatever in either variety. Instead of ask-
ing, therefore, merely for permission to quote from his personal letter, we wired that we were now pre-
paring circular for tlie KngliU) trade and would like him to telegraph us his impartial opinion of the
Two.New Spe.vcers. His telegram reads as follows:

San Francisco, California, August 26, 1907.
W. ATLEE BURPEE & CO., Philadelphia: —

As seen Routzahn's both unquestionably finest of their
class. Immense size, wavy; long stems; fragrant. White
especially excels all other whites. LESTER L. MORSE.

BURPEE'S WHITE SPENCER

produces in the greatest profusion flowers of enormous
size that are absolutely pure white. It is white-seeded
and comes true to the Countess Spencer type. The
standard is decidedly waved, crinkled and fluted: the
wavy wings are so folded that the keel is almost hid-
den. The standard measures from one and three-quar-
ters to two inches across by one ai d three-eighths
to one and five-eighths inches in depth The wings
are fully an inch wide and nearly as deep as the stan-
dard. 1 he flowers are borne three and four to the stem
and are uniformly well placed. The stems are extra
strong and measure from twelve to fifteen inches in
length.

The vines are most vigorous in growth, with heavy
foliage, and attain a height of from ten to twelve feet.
They are nearly covered with bloom, while the flowers
retam their enormous size throughout the season. Of
fine substance, the magnificent fl iwers are unsurpassed
for cutting ana for keeping after being cut.

NEW SWEET PEA

BURPEE'S PRIMROSE

SPENCER

This is a fitting companion to Burpee's White Spen-
cer. The vine is equally thrifty and free flowering,
but slightly shorter in growth, attaining: a heigi t of
eight to nme feet. The flowers are well placed on
strong, thick stems, ten to twelve inches long, and are
borne never less than three flowers, and sometimes
f I iur flowers, to the stem, as shown in the illustration.
The standard measures one and three-quarters inches
to nearly (if nut quite) two inches across by about one
ard one-quarter inches deep; the wings are an inch
across by one and one-eighth inches deep. The tex-
tuie is fully as substantial as in Burpee's White Spen-
cer.

The color is a pronounced primrose or creamy-yellow
throughout both standard and wings. It is equal in
depth and richness of color to The Hon. Mrs. K. Ken-
yon, which of course it outranks in form and size.
Both standard and wings are thoroughly crinkled or
"waved." Burpee's Primrose 8i>encer will
hold its own with any of the so-called "Yellow" Sweet
Peas in color, while it surpasses all others of this color
in size of flower J length of stem and vigur of growth.
A decided acquisition to the Spencer type and the first
of its color to be introduced.

DUTY ON COWPEAS.

The Board of General Appraisers at
New York has rendered a decision on
the protest of the Wallerstein Produce
Co. affecting the rate of duty on cow-
peas and admitting the importation on
payment of 30 cents per bushel:

"The importation in question in this
case consists of 1,000 bags of black-
eyed beans, as described in the invoice.
The testimony shows that the commodity
is known as cowpeas or black-eyed peas.
The importation was assessed for duty
at 45 cents per bushel as beans under
paragraph 240, tariff act of 1897. It is
claimed by the importers to be dutiable
at 30 cents per bushel as peas, dried,
not specially provided for, under para-
graph 250. The paragraphs involved
read as follows:

240. Beans, 45 cents per bushel of sixty
pounds.

2.';0. Pons, green. In bulk or in barrels,
sacks, or himllar packages, and seed peas, 40
cents per bushel of sixty pounds; peas, dried,
not speclall.v provided for, .SO cents per bushel;
split peas, 40 cents per bushel of sixty pounds;
peas in cartons, papers, or other small pack-
ages, 1 cent per pound.

"A portion of the importation was
submitted to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture for identification, and in his report
he describes the article in the following
language :

These seeds are cowpeas, Vigna nngnlcnlata,
and consist of two varieties, the so-called black-
eye and the so-called brown -eye. Botanlcally
speaking, cowpena are neither tnie Ijeans nor
true peas, though most closely relating to the
former.

The use of cowpeas as a crop Is, however,
totally different from that of either the true
beans or the true peas. A very large propor-
tion of the cowpea crop growing In this country
Is for use as hay, though a considerable part
is plowed under as green manure. • • •
These two varieties, nnmel.r. the black e.ve and
the brown eye, are used more or less as human

food, though none of the other varieties of
cowpeas are so employed.

"If the testimony with regard to this
commodity ended here we should be
inclined, upon inspection of the sample,
to classify it as beans. It appears, how-
ever, from the record that it occupies a
sort of intermediate position between
the bean and the pea; and as we can not
conclude that this particular commodity
is well known by the common and uni-
versally accepted name of bean or pea,
we think it is a case where, for duty
purposes, we should rely upon commer-
cial designation, if there is one. The
testimony of three witnesses on the be-
half of the importers is found in the rec-
ord. They are men of integrity and good
standing, apparently, and have had long
experience in handling peas and beans —
one of them at least both here and in
the south, where, we learn, the com-
modity in question is extensively grown.
We think the testimony clearly shows
that they are known — and were at the
time of the passage of the act — in the
trade and commerce of this country as
peas, either cowpeas or black-eyed peas.
We do not think the evidence would war-
rant us in finding that they are seed
peas, as there appears to be just as
much proof that they are for table con-
■sumption as that they are imported for
•seed purposes.

"The protest is therefore sustained
and the collector's decision reversed."

AN ENGLISH SEEDSMAN'S SHOW.

John Wilson, seedsman at Hereford,
England, recently held his thirteenth an-
oual show under a lengthy expanse of
canvas, in Hereford produce market. The
main attraction was the open class for
Excelsior onions, which has constituted
the piece de resistance of all Mr, Wil-
son's shows. This year, considering the
ungenial summer we have gone through,
says a local paper, these onions were so
remarkable a display as to constitute a
•surprise. TTiirty-five grand lots were
put up, many from distant parts of Eng-
land, local growers of repute being also
well represented. All were alike credit-
able to the growers and to this renowned
variety. Tomatoes, a very attractive
•class, were much above the ordinary.
The variety known as Wilson's Market
Gardener secured three out of the four
prizes. This is a variety which is mak-
ing great headway, not only with exhib-

ANTIRRHINUM FIERY BELT.

The distinct colors and greatly im-
proved flower spikes among the tall and
dwarf sections of snapdragons during re-
cent years has increased their usefulness
as border plants and for cut flower pur-
poses. The variety Fiery Belt is sent
out this season for the first time and is
a very attractive variety, the name being
peculiarly appropriate. One or two rows
of it give a belt of color which fully
justifies the name. A vxdsa we have
of it has been the admiration of both
English and Canadian visitors, says T.
H. Slade in the Gardeners' Magazine.
Fiery Belt belongs to the dwarf section,
the plants being of compact habit and
about eighteen inches in height. It is
one of Messrs. Carters' introductions.
Snapdragons are not fastidious, as thev
grow in various soils and situations, but,
like many other plants, they delight in
generous treatment and are probably seen
at their best when gro'^ in a fairly
heavy soil, for such land certainly pro-
duces good plants and flower spikes.

The Market

Cut flower conditions remain the re-
verse of satisfactory. There are still
quite a few outdoor blooms arriving, but
the present week will about see the end
of them, recent severe gales and rains
having made them of poor quality.
Boses are in overabundant supply and
are hard to sell. Many go at $1 per
hundred, some lower. A few choice
Brides and Maids have realized $8.
Some very nice Chatenay, Wellesley and
Eichmond are seen. Carnations are in
increased supply, but are inclined to be
druggy. From $1 to $3 are ruling rates.
There is something of a glut of Fair
Maid, which has been much grown as a
summer variety. Quite a few single
violets are arriving, but these sell slow-
ly as yet. Chrysanthemums are coming
from several growers. Some nice blooms
are seen, the best making up to $3 per
dozen.

Lilium longiflorum is scarce. L. spe-
ciosum is done for the season. Lily of
the valley sells rather poorly. Gladioli
and sweet peas are still arriving in re-
duced numbers. Asters are in fair sup-
ply and have sold well all the season.
Quite a little candytuft, feverfew and
Gypsophila acutifolia is seen.

Various Notes.

On visiting the dahlia farm of W, W.
Rawson & Co., September 21, many of
the club members were surprised to find
several beds of Anemone coronaria and
Anemone St. Brigid in bloom. A large

KEERIA JAPONICA FL. PL.

Among the shrubs planted to beautify
our parks and gardens in May and June,
with their wealth of flowers, Kerria Ja-
ponica flore pleno really deserves special
attention on the part of our landscape
men and lovers of beautiful flowering
shrubs. I have often wondered that
among many other shrubs the single flow-
ering fern, Kerria Japonica, is handled
by our landscape gardeners far more
than it really merits. Why! Its flowers
are not only single; they are small as
well and do not last long. That is rea-
son enough to look for something better.
Kerria Japonica fl. pi. indeed deserves
to be handled more than is the case at
present. This form is a good and hardy
grower and is, in May and June, simply
covered with its large double yellow flow-
ers, which last for a considerable time
and give much pleasure to all passers-by.
Kerria Japonica fl. pi. stands severe win-
ters well and distinguishes itself through
a fine habit and can, moreover, be easily
propagated by cuttings.

I certainly think it might be to the
advantage of our landscape gardeners,
on the whole, if they would give a little
more attention to our better varieties of
trees and shrubs and give them a better
chance of coming under the notice of our
public at large.

There is, to my knowledge, at least one

plat'o in the United States where all sorts
of good trees and shrubs get a fair
chance to show what they are worth,
namely, the Arnold Arboretum, near Bos-
ton, Mass. Gardeners in all parts of the
world have felt, and may feel yet, the
beneficial influence of that famous insti-
tution.

I should like to mention the name of
one man, V. Lemoine, of Nancy, France,
still hale and hearty, who is certainly
holding the world's record in the way of
improving plants. Besides many other
fine things, we owe to him a great num-
ber of the most lovely flowering shrubs,
well fitted to ornament our gardens and
to make them still more beautiful. A
detailed description of his life's work
appeared recently in one of the best-
known German horticultural papers. '

Resistance and Immunity.

Our ideal, of course, is to cultivate
plants that can, in the largest measure
consistent with other requirements, fight
their own battles. Observation and ex-
perience have given us a large amount of
information on adaptability to conditions
and resistance to disease, which remains
to be classified and digested in order to

be made generally available. We often
neglect to reap the benefits of a destruc-
tive drought, a cold wave, an epidemic of
disease or the failure of a crop by neg-
lecting to study and save what is left.
The few straggling plants left do not ap-
peal to the average man. He plows them
up or turns in the hogs. But the man
familiar with nature's methods sees in
these survivors resistant strains and saves
the few straggling plants for seed, with
the hope that the few survivors may have
some peculiarity transmittible to prog-
eny, making them resistant to the factor
that caused the general destruction of the
crop. In this way originated the wilt-
resistant cotton, wilt-resistant cowpeas
and flax, and cowpeas and tobacco resist-
ant to nematode or root-knot. Strains of
red clover resistant to anthracnose, a
disease which in many sections of the
south makes it impossible to grow ordi-
nary non-resistant clover, were also origi-
nated in this way. Strains of corn, oats,
wheat, rye, clover, alfalfa, sugar beets
and other grains, forage plants and vege-
tables resistant to cold, alkali apd
drought have been developed from such
selections, in some cases made purposely
by subjecting the crop to these condi-
tions, in others by simply taking advan-
tage of what occurred naturally,

has forced the saving of the last straw.
This is why we find the drought-resistant
durum wheats in the dry regions of Rus-
sia and Asia and around the Mediter-
ranean, the alkali and drought-resistant
alfalfas and other forage crops in the
same regions, a cold-resistant alfalfa in
Siberia and northern Manchuria, the
cold-resistant winter wheats of Bussia,
and other crops too numerous to mention.
Hundreds of years of culture and selec-
tion, forced by poverty and necessity un-
der forbidding conditions of cold and
drought and disease, have made those
sections veritable storehouses of good
things, but what nature and neces-
sity have not produced for us we can in
large measure do for ourselves. We can
combine the cold-resisting quality of the
trifoliate inedible orange with the fruit
qualities of the tender sweet orange; the
disease-resistant quality of the citron
with the fruit quality of the edible mel-
ons; the rust-resistant quality of the
durum wheat with the berry of the blue
stem; the cold-resistant quality of the
wild crab with the fruit of our finer ap-
ples. The possibilities of such composite
breeding have scarcely been touched or
appreciated. In such work many factors
must be taken into account and great
care and foresight exercised.

Pathological Investigation.

Coming now to the scientific study of
plant diseases, there is almost unlimited
room for improvement. Compared "with
what there is still to discover, our knowl-
edge of most diseases is still meager and
one-sided. The brain of the pathologist
is his most important instrument in such
investigation. It must be trained to
work with precision in all of the various
directions and fields involved in such
study. This is not now generally the
case, and onr colleges must be awakened
to their duty. To most successfully com-
bat a disease we should know the causes

tect the plant against them or assist it to
recover.

Spraying.

In the cases of disease due to attack of
parasitic organisms we are often able to
protect our crops by spraying. Spraying,
like a coat of mail, is a protection
against entrance to the tissues by invad-
ing organisms. If there are any holes in
the coat of mail, or if it is made of poor
material or is put on after the arrow has
pierced the flesh, it may be of no avail.
Much of our spraying has holes in it.
The tissues are not properly coated dur-
ing the periods of attack. Much of the
new growth is left unprotected during
the critical period. The parasite gets in
through these places, and we find too late
that hasty, careless spraying is of little
value.

Improperly made mixtures, or mixtures
made of poor materials, are often of no
protection, and may be as injurious as
the disease. Even good Bordeaux mix-
ture cannot safely be used on some
plants, such as peaches, though some of
the sulphur sprays can be used. The ap-
paratus for spraying is, as a rule, poorly
constructed, clumsy, and in great need
of general improvement and adaptation
to particular conditions. Demand good
machinery and pay for it. It is essen-
tial to success.

Fewer Btilletini and More Men.

Those who know these things must
teach by demonstration those who know
imperfectly or do not know at all. Lit-
erature is valuable as an aid to demon-
stration teaching, but can never take the
place of it. Too much dependence on
literature is one of our great educational
mistakes. Send out fewer bulletins and
more men.

Briefly, then, we shall improve on the
pathology of the last century if we take
time to be careful and thorough, study
the causes of failure and profit by the
results, demand better trained minds and
improved apparatus, and depend in our
teaching more upon men and less upon
books.

HARDY STOCK IN POTS.

The handling of pot-grown hardy stock
at this time of the year, particularly if
it is intended for sale during the coming
winter, should not be overlooked by the
grower. Plants or young trees that have
been standing for several months and
not 'been disturbed should be changed
from the positions they occupy, so that
the roots will be disconnected with the
ground underneath. This is important,
as it is late enough at this time for them
to have a chance to recuperate before
the growing season is over.

A great mistake is made in handling
evergreen trees in pots when they are
dormant, so to speak, and when well root-
ed through the pots. They have no in-
clination to grow immediately, even un-
der the best of circumstances, and when
in addition they have lost a number of
roots they often die, or at least lose a
great quantity of their growth and do
not give satisfaction. Hence it is de-
cidedly better to shift them this month,
taking care to give them such trimming
as they may need, restaking if necessary
and occasionally repotting should they
require it. There is little use, however,
in doing much potting so late in the
season. Plants are handled easier in
small pots, especially in shipping, and
unless they are intended for specimens
they will easily get along until next
spring.

When pot plants are carried along on
board benches such care need not be
taken as far as rooting through the pots
is concerned, but restaking and trimming
should be attended to. G.

I cannot say that trade has improved
any since I wrote our last report, but
if September averages as good as Au-
gust it is all we can expect. Septem-
ber is only second to June as a matri-
monial month and the weddings have
been coming thick and fast. Of course
all the brides want white roses; there-
fore the new crop is a great financial
success. Outdoor stuff is getting poorer
and scarcer. . Gladioli are done for,
asters are waterlogged and sweet peas
have taken a chill. Dahlias alone are
trying to preserve a respectable appear-
ance. Yiolets have made a modest be-
ginning and the only quality lacking in
the new carnation crop is the length of
stem. Soon we shall have the chrysan-
themum with us and then we shall feel
quite prepared to meet the demands of
an active winter's campaign.

Various Notes.

George Beta's new range of houses
has received the finishing touches and
shows up well from the Oregon City car
line.

The Montavilla Floral Co. is grad-
ually filling up its ten-acre field
with nursery stock. Landscape work is
made a feature here. One of the mem-
bers of this firm has just returned from
Germany with a bride, and another mem-
ber departed immediately for the same
place in the interest of the firm's busi-
ness.

William Jackson, formerly in business
at Vancouver, Wash., is building a
small range of glass in the pretty and
thriving town of Stevenson, Wash.

T. E. Miles and H. Clemens, of New-
berg, both know how to grow asters and
for two months supplied us with high
grade stock. John Gower, recently a pri-
vate gardener of Portland, has moved
out to the same place and is erecting
glass for the cultivation of vegetables
and cut flowers.

We recently had the pleasure of meet-
ing F. A. Huntley, state commissioner
of horticulture, of Tacoma, Wash. Mr.
Huntley owns property in North Yak-
ima and is indirectly interested in the
florists' business there.

Thomas EUingham, out on the Base
Line road, has added one new house.

F. A. Van Kirk, in the same locality,
is not building this year, but he is cut-
ting a fine lot of Enchantress carna-
tions.

To our amateur enthusiast, Asa
Sleeth, we must give credit for grow-
ing the finest gladioli ever seen in
Portland.

The Market.

Business has been fair during the last
week. Flowers are still rather scarce.
Mums, owing to the continued cool
weather, have been slow to develop, but
at this writing they are more plentiful
and in a few days will be in their prime.
The best greenhouse-grown white and
yellow varieties cost the stores $2.50 per
dozen, with good demand. Asters are
entirely out of season and from reports
from the growers were not an especially
profitable proposition this year. The
public does not take so kindly to them
as to the chrysanthemums and their use

was principally relegated to decorations
and to funeral work.

Carnations still show the results of
their recent replanting in the houses, but
they are daily becoming better in size
and quality. The best kinds cost the
stores $4 per hundred and from that
price downwards to $2 per hundred for
poorer stock. Roses are much more
plentiful than they have been at any
time since last spring and, although the
quality is fair, there is yet much chance
for improvement. Valley is plentiful,
but moves slowly. Japanese lUies are
out of the market. A few late varieties
of amaryllis are seen and net the grow-
ers $4 per hundred.

Violets are a shade more plentiful
and, with the advent of cooler nights, are
better in stem and brighter in color.
Sweet peas are almost over for the sea-*
son. Those that are brought in are usu-
ally short-stemmed and are of little value
except in funeral work.

Everyone is expecting a brisk fall
trade, but up to date it has not been par-
ticularly noticeable.

Several dealers in Christmas trees and

The Chinese growers of asters in the

NEW ORLEANS.

At the last meeting of the club, when
it was decided to abandon this year's
flower show, C. W. Eichling said he
wished to go on record as not being in
favor of giving up the chrysanthemum
show, and was the only one holding out
for it.

To have a show in November in a hall
or store on Canal street, only members
exhibiting, was an idea advanced by
Paul Ebele, which met with unanimous
approval, and a committee, consisting of
P. A. Chopin, H. A. Despommier and
Paul Ebele, was appointed to arrange for
this, H. Papworth's tender of his store
was received and will probably be ac-
cepted by the committee, the show being
arranged to continue sevqjral days, and
calls for some of the best collections of
the florists' stock that can be brought
together.

The society unanimously indorsed the
projected Panama Bioceanic Exposition,
to be held in New Orleans in 1915, and
it is intended that the society get in
close touch with the workers for the
project and endeavor to give every aid
toward making the New Orleans exposi-
tion renowned for its beauty of land-
scape, the trees, hedges and gardening
being started in time to make a decent
show when the exposition first opens, in-
stead of being delayed and only being
attended to after all else.

Charles Eble, the pioneer florist of
Baronne street, opened his new quarters
in the Cusachs building September 25,
and his store now forms one of the at-
tractions of that district. Assisting Mr.
Eble are his sons, Charles Eble, Jr., and
Bernard Eble, and his niece, Miss Car-
rie Eble. Mr. Eble had been in business
in Baronne street nineteen years.

The Weekly Florists' Review!

October 3, 1907.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

I

Business last week was fairly good.
Many designs were disposed of and the
market trade was good.

Outdoor stock is plentiful. The last
few nights have been cool and many
thought frost likely to come. A frost
would have ruined acres of outdoor
blooms and would have put a damper on
business, so many cut heavily, fearing
they would be caught. However, we sel-
dom have frost before October 15. The
indoor blooms are arriving slowly and the
stock looks so well that our growers are
encouraged.

The Dutch bulbs are nearly all deliv-
ered and many are planting. Some com-
plain of the bulbs being damp, but stock
that I have seen is in fine condition. It
seems that some of our growers are de-
voting their space to pot plants for Eas-
ter use and cutting down their bulb
houses.

Various Notes.

W. R. Bauer, of Owings Mills, is cut-
ting some extra fine dahlias.

Edwin Bishop, of Roslyn, has made his
appearance in Hollins' market with
dahlias.

The park board has decided to hold
five chrysanthemum shows this fall, one
at each of the large parks.

Bowling matches will take place this
month between the employees of the fol-
lowing firms: S. L. Lambert Co., Grif-
fith: & Turner Co., Eawlings Implement
Co., John Deere Plow Co., International
Harvester Co. and Brown Implement Co.

Richard Oler, of Arlington, has a new-
comer— a bouncing baby boy.

C. Gregorius, of Arlington, is install-
ing a new boiler.

C. Seigwart, of Carroll, has some splen-
uid mums.

For many years there has been an un-
friendly feeling between the growers and
the so-called fakers that occupy stalls on
Lexington and Eutaw streets. The ques-
tion as to how to get rid of the fakers
has been brought up in the club, some
speaking in tavor of them and others
against them. Now one of our growers
has taken up the idea of getting rid of
them, and he and his lawyer succeeded
in getting them out of their old stands
last week. Now there are only three
stalls on Lexington street, where for-
merly there were about a dozen. Some
were fortunate enough to find stalls on
Eutaw street among the growers, though
formerly they were all at one end of the
market. I am under the impression that
the ill feeling will result in cutting
prices. J. L. T.

OGONTZ, PA.

William Kleinheinz, as private gar-
dener for P. A. B. Wildener, has the man-
agement of a range of greenhouses con-
taining about 60,000 square feet of glass,
and he also has charge of the lawn, about
sixty acres in extent, which surrounds
his employer's residence. The lawn is
laid out in the most approved style.
Among the plants that he grows in the
greenhouses are carnations, chrysanthe-
mums, hybrid tea and American Beauty
roses, ferns, orchids, palms, stove and
cold house plants. One house, 150 feet
long, is devoted to grapes and nectarines.
He also g^^ows about 80,000 mi^ed bed-
ding plants.

SARAD flILL

The largest free-flowering white
carnation ever produced; the
form is beautiful and displays the
size to the very best advantage;
color very pure; texture excellent;
stem extra long at all times of the
year; a startling novelty, produc-
ing flowers with great freedom.
Grandest novelty for 1908.

Lawson-Enchantress or

SUPERIOR

At last we can give you Enchan-
tress with Lawson color. This is
not a sport from Enchantress, but
a seedling, but it resembles En-
chantress in every respect. Guar-
anteed to be as we represent it.
pA'ery one who grows Lawson or
Enchantress will want to grow
this variety. Early delivery as yet.

Either variety at $12.00 per
100; $100.00 per 1000.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

OCTOBEB 3, 1007.

ST. PAUL.

SUtc of Trade.

Killing frosts have destroyed outside
stock, driven the lake dwellers homeward
and hastened social functions, all of
which tends to improve trade. Stock is
fairly plentiful, but the best grades of
it are scarce. Carnations are becoming
more plentiful and the quality is improv-
ing daily. A few violets are coming in,
wMle the first of the mums have made
their appearance. A number of millinery
openings have created some demand for
palms and decorative material, while the
first fall receptions are setting the style
by using autumn foliage in quantity.

The Greek has invaded this territory
once more and has a full-fledged flower
department in one of the large stores. A
local grocery store also has been selling
palms, rubbers and ferns at "bargain"
prices.

Various Note*.

Holm & Olson have had several large
wedding decorations lately and report
trade in their new location as fully forty
per cent better than when they moved
in a year ago.

John A. May, who has been identified
with the trade for many years, has en-
gaged in the shoe business.

L. L. May & Co. have incorporated
and have plans for largely extending the
business.

Holm & Olson are building a new
propagating bouse and are extending
their palm house. They have recently
erected a large barn and wagon-shed, as
well as made several other improvements
about their premises.

Chas. Keiper is cutting some very fine
nnims.

Recent callers were J. J. Karins, of
the H. A. Dreer Co.; Martin Reukauf,
representing Bayersdorfer & Co.; Wm.
Abrahamson, of E. H. Hunt, Chicago;
J. J. Comont, of Carter, Dunnett &
Beale, London.

The St, Paul Floral Co. is rebuilding
one house. X. Y. Z.

I HAVE been very much pleased with
the articles published in the Review
and could hardly do without it. — Wm,
J. Thoms.

Portsmouth, Va, — During a cyclone
last week a greenhouse in course of
erection at D 'Alcorn & Sons' was blown
onto their chrysanthemum house, smash-
ing about 100 panes of 16x20 glass. The
firm cheerfully remarked, "It might
have been worse. We have less disbud-
ding to do, anyhow," Two dwelling
houses were wrecked and a dump cart
was blown about like a newspaper.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

OCTOOEB 3, 1907.

PITTSBURG.

ThcMjtfket

It is not long since some of the boys
remarked, ' ' Anything for a change ! ' '
Well, they have the change. Asters and
gladioli have about gone. Carnations
are not enough in evidence to mention.
Lilies were out of sight and the afore-
said dealers had to skirmish for stock
to fill their orders and, strange to say,
they did not appreciate the change.
Business is good and there aro better
things in sight, but stock will be scarce
unless chrysanthemums get a move on.
They seem to be about one month later
than last year.

There has been no frost here so far,
although several places in the immediate
vicinity have reported first snow, but
dahlias are the only flowers left and they
are good.

Variotu Notes.

Mr. Garland, of the Finleyville Floral

tions in fine condition. He expects to
build next year.

Among the other visitors were Mr. and
Mrs. Gus A. Geng, of Youngstown, O. ;
W. S. Kidd and daughter, of Beaver,
Pa. ; William Cromack, of Irwin, Pa. ;
G. A. McWilliams, of Natrona, Pa., and
E. M. Hall, of Fairmont, W. Va.

W. R. Maebius, of Lock No. 4, Pa.,
has sold out to T. J. Allen, who will con-
tinue the business.

A railroad wreck on the B. & O. de-
layed the flower train and the Pittsburg
Cut Flower Co. did not get the roses
until almost 3 o'clock Saturday after-
noon, September 28, causing groat in-
convenience. It was a strange coinci-
dence that the trains on all the other
roads were detayed the same morning,
and the Pittsburg Florists' Exchange
and J. B. Murdoch & Co. were no better
off. Hoo-Hoo.

WiNFiELD, Kan. — E. H. Gilbert, who
has been ill for a month, is able to at-
tend to business again.

Belle Plaine, Ia. — Henry Bowers, of
this place, has been experimenting in
the production of new varieties of
chrysanthemums from seed, and it is
said he has obtained about thirty fine
new sorts.

OCTOBBB 8, 1907.

KANSAS aXY.

The Market.

The market remains about the same
as last week, except with reference to
roses, in which there is quite an im-
provement in both size and color. Car-
nations are not plentiful. Very few
asters remain to be seen. There was
a great deal of funeral work last week,
which cleaned up all the good stock.
A great many American Beauties .are
BOW used in large sprays.

Variotit Notes.

Nathan Brown, at Independence, is
quite busy at present taking geranium
cuttings. He has a large stock o^
moonvines and expects to have 10,000
to offer for next spring. His house of
mums looks exceedingly fine.

E. A. Humfeld has gone to Clay Cen-
ter, Kan., to see his mother. She is
ill and is not expected to live.

Nelson Jarrett has. been quite busy
unloading a large car of flower pots
shipped in from the Ionia Pottery Co.

W. H.

WASHINGTON.

Business last week was not as good
as it had been for two weeks previously.
Dahlias are plentiful. Some extra fine
ones are seen in some of the windows and
bring $2 per dozen retail.

The "Washington Florists' Co. has a
nice window of variegated caladiuma and
other foliage plants in Italian Signa

ware.

Gude's old mill and pond are out of
the window, being replaced by baskets
and hampers of dahlias.

Hardy is now permanently located in
the Ebbitt house entrance on Fourteenth
street.

W, J. Stewart, president of the S. A.

F., and J. K. M. L. Farquhar stopped

over after attending the horticultural

, convention at the Jamestown exposition.

Friday, September 27, was flower show
day and harvest home in the public
schools. A large delegation from the
local club attended in a body. Professor
Woods, of the agricultural department,
presented the certificate and made a
very interesting address. In his remarks
he said the promoters of the Washington
florists' show felt proud to know they
bad been the first to have the school
gardens. Much credit is due to Miss
Susan B. Sipe, the promoter of the
school garden work. She is a lady who
lectured during the S. A. F. convention
here. O. 0.

CONSERVING SOILS.

In going through some of the market
nurseries near London, where cucumbers,
chrysanthemums and tomatoes are exten-
sively grown, says a writer in the Hor-
ticultural Advertiser, I find that in many
instances the cost of suitable compost is
a great item. Those starting should be
careful to secure ground that will give a
depth of good loam; yet after this is
done, it requires management to keep up
a supply, and those who do not economize,
soon exhaust their resources, but with
proper treatment, the same soil may be
used over a good many times.

Fresh loam with manure added is best
for cucumbers, and after the crop is over,
all loose leaves and rubbish may be
cleared from the surface, and when re-
moved from the house, a good dressing of
lime may be added. Turned up into a
heap, with more manure added later on,
it will make a good compost for chrysan-
themums the following year. There will
be an advantage in adding a bag of soot
to each cartload of manure and well mix-
ing it before adding to the other soil, and
after mixing, it should remain a few
days. Soil that has been used for tomato
growing may also be purified. All stems
and leaves should be cleared oif. This is
important, for the disease germs may live
for a considerable time in the old stems,
but with a good sprinkling of lime, the
soil may be cleansed, and if laid up for a
year, may be again used for tomatoes.

I have seen much more waste in regard
to soil since I have been near London
than when I was in the country. There
nothing was wasted. All old pot soil was
kept in a heap for about a year, and
loose rubbish in another heap. In the
winter, after the hedges had been
trimmed, all loose rubbish which would
burn was got together and a fire made.
When a good foundation was made with
the more combustible materials, almost
anything could be burned, old rhubarb
stools and other roots could be reduced to
ashes ; and when properly burned, provid-
ed good material for mixing with potting
soil.

I know it is the general opinion that
soils get worn out in time, but from my
own experience, all soil used for indoor
growing may be re-used again in three
years, and will be better than virgin soil
if it has been properly treated. In the
purifying of soil, frost is a great factor,
and when the soil is laid up in heaps,
weeds may be allowed to grow if the tops
are cut off before they seed.

Co. reports that the business of the last

COULDN'T ANSWER HIS MAIL.

A subscriber in the west sends the
Revievvt n circular issued by William
Kuyk, of flillegom, Holland, giving de-
tails as to the new carnations originated
by Alfred Giraud and for which varieties
Mr. Kuyk is looking for a purchaser.
The circular begins:

"With reference to the advertisement
••u the Weekly Flokists' Review of
June 20, 1907, page 31, I received so
many letters that I decided to make a
circular giving the desired particulars."

When an advertiser, who offers for sale
the entire stock of a new plant, gets so
many applications for details that he
cannot answer them all by letter, he
ought to be pretty well satisfied with
the results from an advertisement that
cost $10, and evidently Mr. Kuyk is.

IT DID THE WORK.

We potted up about 6,000 4-inch gera-
niums as a surplus over the needs of
our retail trade to try the Review and
see if it would sell some for us. We
sent in a small advertisement and in
five weeks we were sold out and re-
ceived orders for 1,000 more than we
had. We sent money back to eight dif-
ferent states. When a man gets his of-
fer into the classified department of the
Review he wants to be careful or his
stock will all be sold and he will have
nothing left but empty houses to take
care of. The Review is worth dollars
a year, instead of $1, to any one in the
business. You can use this letter if you
want to; it is true. Raoan Bros.

ment of primroses; sold out. We would

SUPPLY TANK TOO LOW.

I have a regular steam boiler, but use
hot water. I wish to get your advice in
regard to a change in the vent pipe. I
used the system last year, but whenever
the water would get a li±tle too hot it
would blow half the water out of the
boiler before it would stop. With the
vent as it now is, this sometimes broke
glass for me, and I want to know if I
can put the vent on the steam dome of
the boiler and get good results. I will
inclose a rough outline of the system.

S. E. L.

From the diagram and from what you
say I infer that your supply tank is only
slightly higher than the high point in the
system. The plan is all right, but the
supply tank or expansion tank should be
twelve or fifteen feet higher and of am-
ple size to provide for the overflow, so
that when the water in the system cools
down the pipes will remain full. Run
the pipe outside and above the green-
liouses and slied, if necessary, and give it
protection from frost by inclosing it
with proper material. L. C. C.

lowed, the consensus of opinion being
that a soil well enriched with barnyard
manures and deeply spaded, and upon
which no similar crop had been grown
for some time, was the best suited for
sweet pea culture.

With most growers sweet peas have
done remarkably well this season, and
the varieties in the following list were
considered the best in their different
colors: King Edward, scarlet; Countess

State of Business.

Trade has been rather brisk here for
the last week or so, and stock scarce.
Asters are all gone and are certainly
missed. Roses are coming in more plen-
tifully, but are far from being enough
to fill orders. Carnations are coming on
nicely, but very few are blooming at
this writing. The month of September
is one of the worst months in the year
for stock on this market, as very few of
the growers plant early enough to have
much stock at this time. Mums are look-
ing fine and there are some few of the
earlier varieties to be seen on the mar-
ket. They will be welcomed by all, as it
will break the spell of trying to fill or-
ders with nothing, so to speak.

Florists' Qub.

The Fli.rists' Club held its regular
meeting September 22. There was a
good turnout, as the members were much
interested in the mum show, to be given
in November. President Stephens ap-
pointed the following committee on the
show: Messrs. Torrey, Eeichert, Metz-
meier, Ciirrie and Wedemeyer. After the
meeting the single men rolled against the
married men. Of course the married
men lost. The four highest rollers were
as follows: Single — Reichert, Blum and
Buehler ; married — McKellar.

A Private Dahlia Show. .

The dahlia exhibit held September 26
and 27 at the store of Bertermann Bros.
Co. was a great success and both the firm
and the grower, E. G. Barnes, of Spencer,
Ind., are to be congratulated on the re-
sult of their I efforts. There is no doubt
that the dahlia has been steadily grow-
ing in favor for the last few years, and
this show will greatly stimulate its pop-
ularity in this section, showing the peo-
ple what can be grown here and the
different forms there are, from the im-
mense double to the single and cactus.
Among the best varieties shown were
Gabriel, Sylvia, Kaiser Wilhelm, Gettys-
burg, Apple Blossom, Juliette, Bronze
Beauty and a dark one well named Aunt
Chloe. There were many others that
were favorites and it is really hard to
make any real choice; all are good. The
Is. G. Hill Co., of Richmond, had some
vases of its new Rhea Reid rose on ex-
hibition that brought forth much favor-
able comment, the color being especially
pleasing. The same firm also showed two
other new roses, one named Princess
and the other labeled No. 10.

It is hoped that this effort will en-
courage others and that the dahlia show
may be made an annual feature. S.

NEWPORT, R. I.

Although the time af which we might
expect a material decrease in business
has arrived, we have quite a number of
cottagers who are entertaining and thus
helping to prolong the season for the
florists. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and
her daughter arrived at the Breakers
this week and will remain until late in
the fall.

Arthur Griffin, gardener for E. T.
Gerry, is now in England visiting his
parents after an absence of fifteen years.

Wadley & Smythe are to make some
improvements on the estate of William
B. Leeds this fall.

At a meeting of the Newport Horti-
cultural Society September 24, nine new
members were proposed. The year
drawing to a close promises to be one of
the most prosperous in the society's his-
tory. The silver cup presented to the
society by Henry A. Dreer was greatly
admired. It was voted that the cup
should not be in the possession of any
one individual until it is won twice.

Oscar Schultz will from this out give
special attention to palms and decorative
foliage plants, and with that object in
view he has secured the services of John
Booth, lately in charge of the W. S.
Wells estate greenhouses.

Stewart Ritchie has his carnations in

growing profitable in summer and he has
his son Charles in charge of this branch
during the season. R. R.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

The Eeview takes pleasure in present-
ing its readers with a series of views
taken at ThQ Sign of the Bose, the
unique flower shop of Charles Henry
Fox, on Broad street, below Walnut,
Philadelphia. These views, which em-
brace the flower shop and conservatory
at Tbe Sign of the Eose, and some of
Mr. Fox's brightest efforts, will ap-
pear each week in this column until the
series is complete. Mr. Fox's reputation
for decorative work stands so high that
it is only necessary to say that his cus-
tomers are among the most fastidious
flower lovers of the Quaker City.

GOOD LUCK EMBLEMS.

The Beview frequently has called at-
tention to the opportunity for securing
business which is presented whenever a
new store is opened in any of the ordi-
nary retail lines. The accompanying il-
lustration shows one of the orders for
such an occasion, which came to John G.
Heinl & Son, at Terre Haute, Ind. This
piece, which stood over seven feet high,
was presented to the proprietor of the
Herz Bazaar upon the day of the re-
cent opening of that new enterprise. It
was a birch-bark stump in which were
157 long American Beauty roses. This
was a rose for each one of the employees
of the establishment, who paid for the
piece by subscription.

Upon this occasion there were some
fifty baskets, designs and other good-luck
emblems sent by business associates in
the town and business connections
throughout the country. In fact, it was
a regular flower show and one which, no
doubt, did much to further this commend-
able custom.

It is now quite a general thing to
send flowers on the day that a new
store is opened. Not only do the pro-
prietor's friends remember him, but
those business houses in which he has
bought his stock, and those houses which
hope to gain his future patronage, rec-
ognize in this an excellent means of
expressing their sincere good-will. No
man can be otherwise than pleased when
his friends send him flowers on such a
day.

The next time a good-sized new store
is to be opened in your town, make a
try for a little of this business. If it
is a shoe store, get a copy of the shoe
trade journal and send a letter to all its
largest advertisers. The chances are you
will hit those who sold the new stock,
as well as many others who will be inter-
ested. Send them a neat letter, type-
written if possible, and unquestionably
upon your business stationery, setting
forth your facilities to send suitable
good-luck emblems to the opening. Ten
to one the response wiU be greatly to
your satisfaction.

Don't use a wire frame on such or-
ders. Loose arrangements, like bas-
kets, are preferable to anything remotely
suggesting a funeraL .

FUNERAL WORK.

Panels and Casket Cover*.

From a spray or flat bunch it is but
a short step to large panels of flowers,
or complete covers or blankets of flowers
for caskets.

As the panel is the next step, let us
consider it first, leaving the covers until
later.

There are a great many ways of
making up flowers or the different ma-
terials at hand into the form of a panel,
or in other words a large, flat piece,
usually having square corners. These
pieces can also be used in many dif-
ferent ways.

Often a large panel of flowers is used
in place of the more expensive casket
cover; in this case the piece must be
made of a suitable size so as to look
well upon the casket. A good size is

order for a floral design which will just
cover the lower end of a casket; that is,
from the glass down. This space you
will find will measure about 18x42 inches
on top.

The first step is to procure the wire
frame upon which to make the design;
this is merely a flat wire frame, just
heavy enough so it will hold its shape
well. Order one, 15x36 inches, from
your wire man.

We will also suppose that the choice
of flowers was left to the artist, though
this is seldom his good fortune. Almost
any variety of flowers can of course be
used, but as this panel is for an elderly
person and we have some nice white
chrysanthemums at our disposal, we will
use these.

Place one end of your frame on the
edge of your work-bench and the other
end on top of a high chair or stand, so
that you can get your hands underneath
when fastening the flowers into place.
Next lay some fern leaves on the frame;
these serve as a background for the
flowers, besides giving the piece a fin-
ished appearance.

In my article on sprays in the Eeview
of June 27 I spoke of the necessity of
letting the smaller flowers project over
the tops of the larger ones, as well as
toward the edge. Pick out some of the
small chrysanthemums and lay them
down upon the ferns. Let some _extefid

one made upon a flat wire frame about
15x36 inches; this, when made up, will
just nicely cover the top of the lower
end of a full sized casket. Then again,
a panel can be fastened to an easel, thus
making a fine funeral design.

A Panel ai a Casket Cover.

^ As we can do but one thing at a
time, let us suppose that you have an

one or two inches over the edge and some
just even with the edge; in other words,
avoid having the edge too even. Bring
the stems of several of the flowers to-
gether and tie into place on the frame
with a piece of No. 24 wire bent over
your finger in the shape of a hairpin, I
like to bring the wire for fastening the
flowers up from underneath, tying it at
the top, tor when you tie at the under

The Weekly Florists' Review.

OCTOBIBS 10, 190V.

Bide of the piece the wire eads catch
on everything and also scratch the top
of the casket or furniture.

After tying the first row of flowers
in place, work along just as yOu would
in making a flat bunch. Asparagus
Bprengeri is a nice green to use in
connection with chrysanthemums. Do
not use this too sparingly, as the green
adds much to the appearance of any
floral work. Arrange the flowers as
loosely as you can, at the same time
giving a nice square shape to the gen-
eral outline of your design.

Work from each end of the frame
toward the center. As you near the
center, avoid having the stems meet or
hunch up in one place. Keep the stems
as flat as you can and stick them out
of sight underneath the flowers opposite.
You may experience a little trouble in
finishing up nicely at first, but after
a little practice it will be hard for even
yourself to find where you finished.

As I said before, almost any flower
can be worked up nicely into a panel
or cover. Large and small .flowers can
also be used nicely in the same piece;
as, for instance, valley with roses, carna-
tions or BO on. Sweet peas and some
larger flower also work well together,
and even lilies and some such flower as
the rose will harmonize well.

The same rule holds good here as in

panels used in place of a casket cover.
A very elaborate floral design can be
made by fastening a panel to an easel.
When it is to be used in this way, more
care must be exercised in fastening the
flowers to the frame, so that each one
will stay in its proper place.

It is not necessary that a panel bo
always made entirely of flowers. On
the contrary, very elaborate ones can be
made in different ways. Galax leaves
come in very conveniently for this pur-
pose. In a piece of this style it will,
of course, be necessary that you moss
your frame. After you have procured
a frame of suitable size, use either
paper, foil or fern leaves to keep the
moss from falling through the frame
and to serve as a background for the
design. It is absolutely necessary that
you consider the back, as this shows
plainly after the panel is fastened to
the easel. Many are careless in this
respect, but it pays to use something
that will not detract from the appear-
ance of the design. A good plan is
to lay some fern leaves between the
paper or foil and the frame, thus giving
a nice, finished effect. Next lay enough
moss on top of the paper so that after
it is drawn into place and tied it will
be about an inch and a quarter thick,
or just full enough to hokl the picks
or fern-pins well. In tying the moss

sprays as to the mixing of too many
varieties of flowers together. Too much
of. a mixture never looks well, whether
rt be in a spray, a panel or a cover.

A Paiul as a Floral Dciign.

The foregoing description is for

into place, be sure to use string of a
color that will look in keeping with the
back of the panel.

Your design is now ready for the
decorations, which we will assume are
to be galas, roses and lily of the valley.

Cover the whole piece with bronze

galax leaves, using fern-pins for fasten-
ing the leaves. Begin at the edge and
work toward the center. Use only good
leaves and enough bo that the fern-pins
will not show. Do not spoil your de-
sign by using poor leaves just to save
a few pennies. After you have the
moss all nicely covered, make a border
of flowers around the outside of the
panel about two inches from the edge.
First lay some smilax on the leaves,
fastening it with a few fern-pins; this
will be your guide. Then stem some
white roses on toothpicks, leaving the
stems of the roses about two to three
inches long. The most open roses should
be stemmed the shortest. Arrange these
roses along the smilax; in other words,
form a garland of roses.

Now make a loose spray of lily of the
valley and white roses for the center
space, just large enough so it will not
look crowded. Fasten this spray to the
panel with some wire, having it ex-
tend from the lower left-hand to the
upper right-hand corner. A suitable
bow will add much to the appearance
of the whole.

Another fine piece is made by taking
the same panel of galax and fastening
a nicely made cross, anchor or other
design into place on it. A design when
used in this way should be made all
white and as plain as you can. If
the panel is large enough you can use
a garland around the edge in the same
manner as with the spray, but try to
avoid having the panel look crowded.
Several small bunches, each containing
about six or nine roses or carnations,
fastened in the corners, also produce a
very pretty effect.

Green galax leaves can also be used
in the same way as the bronze. A
spray or design with a touch of pink
will go very nicely with the green leaves.

You will find that a panel constructed
according to the foregoing directions
makes as fine a looking design as your
best class of customers may wish for.
By falling hack on your own imagination
you can, of course, make up an almost
endless variety of panels.

Next week I will tell about the casket
cover proper, illustrating a moderate
priced one. Huoo ScHROETER.

GARIBALDI'S WREATH.

The Italian population on the south-
west side of Chicago is .large and each
year Garibaldi day is celebrated by every
native of sunny Italy. Each year the
statue of Garibaldi in Lincoln park is
decorated with dozens of floral emblems
sent by the Italian societies, in 1907 the
flowers representing an expenditure of
probably $2,000. The accompanying illus-
tration is from a photograph of a wreath
six feet in diameter made by B. Abra-
liamson, who appears in the picture. He
is not taller than the wreath, as ap-
l)ear8 in the picture, because he is stand-
ing on a box. The wreath was- made to
combine the colors of the Italian flag,
green, white and red, which were the
colors of the ribbon with which the two
flags were tied at the top and also the
color of the ribbons crossing the center,
the square object at the intersection of
the ribbons being a picture of Garibaldi,
which does not show in the illustration.
For green along the outside of the wreath
Mr. Abrahamson used peony foliage; for
the white, which occupied the center of
the wreath, he used sweet peas, and for
the red circle at the inside of the wreath
he used red peonies.

THE SIGN OF THE ROSE.

The Sign of the Rose, on the west side
of Broad street, below Walnut, is sit-
uated in the fashionable section of the
Quaker City. The proprietor, Charles
Henry Fox, has aimed to reproduce an
old-fashioned English shop, with all its
best features brought prominently for-
ward. The swinging sign is perfect in
every detail; the windows, the carving,
and the lanterns, the boxes, and the
casement windows, all are faithful re-
produclions.

SUBSTITUTE FOR COW MANURE.

For use on violets would equal parts
of bone meal, muriate of potash and ni-
trate of soda take the place of liquid fer-
tilizer made from cow manure? I gen-
erally use the bone meal dry and mix
it with the potash and soda, using one
tablespoonful to a gallon of water.

In reply to this query would say that
I have not tried thi.s formula and do not

think that chemicals of any kind can
take the place of stable manure. I
would advise you to try only a small
place as you suggest and note carefully
its effects before using the formula
largely, and then give us the results of
your trial in these columns.

THE CATTLEYA FLY.

r would like to get a little informa-
tion about a sniad insect called the
orchid fly. It makes ^mail holes in tiie
orchid jilants. goes down the stem of
the plant and lays eggs in the young
growlli, causing it to swell and get
thick and spoiling the bloom. T have
heard of several ways to kill the insect,
hut do not know which is the best way.
1 would like to know whether you tiiink
it best to cut off the young growth
where the eggs are. We liave never be-
fore l)een troubled with iinything of the
kind. We have just noticed them re-
cently, and think they came in on some
new plants we bought last vear.

■ W. .T. T..

The pest referred to is known as the
cattleya fly and is dreaded by all ordiiti
cultivators. It usually comes in importa-
tions of ("attleya labiata, but occasion-
ally on other cattleyas, and attacks every
species once it has' secured a foothold iii
the house they are growing in. It is
also destructive to la-lias. ejiidendrunis

and all the bigenerie crosses between
these sppcies.

The flies lay their eggs in the growths
while these are very young, causing an
easily perceptible swelling. These should
be cut out and burned as soon as noticed.
P^imigation twice a week with some
stron.; nicotine extract will kill many
of the flies, which are active in the
spring months. Even with all these
measures it is a tedious task to con-
trol, not to speak of eradicating, the
|!est. It is distressing to see growth
af.er growth attacked and plants flower-
less which should under more favorable
coiidilions have made a brilliant show-
ing, but if the fumigation is kept up
and growths removed when infected, a
visible impression will soon be made on
the fly.

Quite a few collections have been
partially ruined by this destructive pest
and there are few who have not had
experience with it. Hypodermic injec-
tions to destroy the maggots have been
tried, but did not jirove a success. T
would recommend frequent strong fumi-
^'ations. especially in the spring, when
tlif mature fly is on the wing.

THE SEASON FOR CUTTING.

Some Early Varieties.

Cutting is iiQw on in real earnest in
most establishments, and prices so far
are fairly satisfactory. Monrovia holds
the j)alm as the early yellow. It is this
year the most profitable thing I have
grown and at this date, October 5, is
all sold and t^ie 8pa<-e is being utilized
for another purpose. There is practi-
cally no waste with Monrovia, as every
plant produces perfect buds and flowers.

Miss Mary CJodfrey, as a yellow to fol-
low Monrovia, will be largely grown.
The C. S. A. gave a certificate for
this variety last year on October 18, and
its behavior this year shows that this
certificate was richly deserved. It is
now fully developed and its splendid
color and excellent stem and foliage
make it more profitable than any other
yellow yet ready for shipping, aside from
Monrovia.

Two other yellows, Irst year 's novel-
ties, are now ready to cut, but they are
not in the same class with Mary God-
frey. Comoleta is fully open, but it has
no size and has to improve immensely to
be grown again. The fault may be due
to my culture, but it has not been treat-
ed differently from the other kinds and
I would be pleased to hear how it has
behaved in other sections. Sergeant
Ijcvy, the other early yellow, is good
• enough in foliage and stem, but the
flower is not full enough and the shape
is very j»oor. not to mention the fact
that with me it burned badly, an unusual
fault in a yellow variety.

Director Gerard is cut and gone. It
is a fine variety. It shows too much of
the bronze to be called yellow, but it is
large, finely formed and bound to sell so
early in the season.

Lady Hopetoun, which I have cut for
some years by October G, is only just
showing color and will have to hustle to
be up in shape for the late October
shows.

Of the other earlies, Pacific and Polly
Rose are being shipped into the market
in fine shape and they are very popular
this year. There is no white to touch
Polly Rose for the first week in October.

It is a trifle early to see yet how the
general line of exhibition stock will be.
but some kinds are opening rapidly.

Mrs. J. A. Miller, the finest thing in
its color that we have, is finishing grand-
ly, as usual. The stem and foliage of
this variety are not equaled in any other
sort, and a deep yellow sport that has
appeared gives hopes of a sterling nov-
elty for next year.

Mrs. George Heaume could be cut in
a week if one so desired, and though the
color, a salmon bronze, is against it
as a commercial variety, it is a splendid
thing nevertheless.

Beatrice May, by present showing, is
going to hold its title as the peerless
white. A bench of it jiust now about half
developed is a glorious sight. It is a
pity the foliage is spotty. The abso-
lutely perfect is an ideal that we can
never attain, perhaps, but if Beatrice

May had tlie ioliage and stem of Mrs.
J. A. Miller I would .say that the ideal
was not so very far off.

Morton F. Plant is putting up an
enormous bud and I think will possibly
be set up in much better shape than last
year.

Mi.ry Mann is making up very nicely
anil should give a good account of it-
self.

Dakoina, a novelty of last year, should
fc-e fine. It is only showing color yet,
but foliage and stem are excellent.

Magnificent is magrificent in foliage
an<l stem, but 1 fear that the flower, by
present indications, will not correspond
to the balance of the plant.

Mrs. A. T. Miller will be in shape to
cut by October 10, and for an absolutely
pure white is the largest we will have
so early. I see no reason why Miller
jhould not find a welcome place as a
second early, to follow Polly Rose.

The Novelties.

Tlie imported novelties this year show
no early types, the earliest with me be-
ing an Australian unnrnied seedling
which will be ready to cut by October 1.5.
It is building up for an immense flower
and is, by the appearance of the leaf, a'
seedling of Mrs. W. Knox. The color is
n rosy red.

Mary Mason, also a Wells variety, is
extra fine in foliage and stem so far and,
by the looks of the bud, it should line
up as one of the best of the year. Every
year we get a few that stand out more

prominently than the rest, and Mary
Mason will be one of them. Color, old
rose. Another one is W. M. Moir. This
variety has the largest bud at its pres-
ent stage of development that I ever
saw, and if the finish is as it should be,
we shall, as W. Wells says, * * shake hands
with ourselves." Watch for Moir at
the shows.

Mary Donnellan I am watching with a
good deal of interest. It is rather tall
in growth and will need to be started
later another year. Mr. Godfrey recom-
mended it as a good commercial variety
last spring in these columns, and so far
it looks promising.

0. H. Broomhead is showing splendid-
ly, and if it finishes as I anticipate, every
one will have to grow it as a deep pink
exhibition flower. Every bud is fine,
both the early and late buds showing
equal fullness, and the center of the bud
is crowded with petals. O. H. Broom-
head is a Silsbury seedling and it is
worthy of note that few of his produc-
tions have been successful in our climate,
though sweeping the boards in England,
notable examples being Mrs. F. W. Val-
lis and J. H. Silsbury. If Broomhead
does finish well here, it will be interesting
to watch its behavior on the other side.
W. Meredith, by the same raiser, is at
present very promising. It is an exact
counterpart of the old Edwin Molyneaux,
a color we need badly. Crimson and
gold form perhaps the most striking com-
Innation of color in the. range of the
mum, as any one admits who has ever
grown Lady Roberts in good shape.

From now on the interest will increase
daily and the mum lover is in his glory.
No flower excites the interest and ad-
miration of the world at large as does
the chrysanthemum, and it is the flower
that renders possible all the fine exhibi-
tions that will be held throughout the
country in the next six weeks.

PROTECTING HYBRID TEA ROSES.

Hybrid tea roses require protection
in some form in the northern states, and
for their winter protection there are
several methods practiced successfully.
Where the number is limited, it may be
practicable as well as profitable to lift
the plants before very severe frost sets
in and, after they are potted, place them
in coldfraires, covering the pots and
also the plants halfway up with soil,
and covering the remainder lightly with
hay or straw, or even with leaves.

Where there are large numbers of
plants to be fared for and the method

of potting them for the winter is con-
sidered too expensive, it will answer, per-
haps, quite as well if the plants are dug
up on the approach of very cold weather
and heeled in frames, covering them
with soil in the same manner as advised
for the potted plants, covering the re-
mainder of the wood also in the same
way, with hay, straw, leaves or similar
litter.

Another method is that of allowing
the plants to remain where they are
growing, and for their protection manure
is placed a few inches in depth all over
the ground where the roses are. Then
all the wood is securely covered with hay
or straw, which should be left un-
touched until spring opens. In the case
of the others, however, ventilation can
be given them from time to time, when
the weather permits. D. M.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

. RED SPIDER AND STIGMONOSE.

1 enclose a growth from one of my
Enchantress plants, in a diseased con-
dition, and would be thankful if you
could inform me what the ailment is,
liow it is caused, and what the cure is,
if you know of any.

How often should fine bone be given
to the plants, which are budding fast?

F. N. B.

Your case is identical with that of
E. L. B. and is covered fully in my
answer to his query, under the head of
* ' Punctures by Insects, ' ' on page 9 of
the Review of October 3. You have
both red spider and stigmonose infest-
ing your plants.

Do not be too liberal with the bone
this early in the season. If you mixed
H fair quantity into the soil at plant-
ing time, and if the plants are growing
strong, a light application in connection
with a mulch at this time will likely
prove beneficial. Then do not give any
more for two months. After February
you can give a light dressing of bone
every six weeks with good results, but
up to that time it is not wise to indulge
in too much feeding. A. F. J. B.

RUST ON CARNATIONS.

I have heard that good results may
be obtained from the use of a solution
of arsenic as a remedy for the rust of
the carnation — about one ounce of a so-
lution known as Fowler's solution to
eight gallons of water. I should be glad
to have your advice before trying such
a remedy. J. W. G.

Some years ago we used the arsenic
solution in combating rust on carna-
tions, and with more or less success.
We have since found, however, that we
can control it much more easily and
with less danger to the crop. We have
seen serious damage to the crop result
from the improper use of this article,
and unless you can be sure of just what
you are doing I would advise you to
leave it alone. We find that by keeping
the foliage of the plants dry and keep-
ing the atmosphere charged slightly with
sulphur fumes, the spores of the rust
will remain inactive and harmless. You
will now be running a steam pipe in
each house at least a part of almost
every night, and if you will drop a pinch
of sulphur on that pipe every few feet
it will answer the purpose. Dusting the
plants with sulphur and lime will also
prove effective. By picking off all the
affected leaves and burning them you
can destroy millions of the spores in a
short time. A. F. J. B.

COMPRESSED AIR SPRAYER.

I am a beginner at greenhouse work
and would like to know what would be
the best kind* of sprayer to get for gen-
eral use among carnations and chrysan-
themums, with special reference to keep-

ing down thrips and aphis. I note in
the Eeview of August 15 thsit Mr. Baur
recommends a compressed air sprayer for
thrips, but does not mention any par-
ticular style. Would a small force pump
with a fine nozzle be satisfactory?
H. P.

There are a number of compressed air
sprayers on the market, all of which I
understand are good. The principle upon
which they operate is much the same,
which is to partly fill a tank with spray-
ing liquid and then pump into it enough
air to cause enough pressure to force
the liquid out through the spraying noz-
zle. We use tlie Simplicity style of
sprayer and like it very much. I like
these better than the force-pump spray-
er, because after pumping them up you
are free to devote all your attention to
the spraying. Before we bought this
sprayer we used an ordinary brass syr-
inge with good effect, but we find this
sprayer a groat saver, not only of time,
but also of spraying material. With a
stead}' spray you walk right along and
do not go over a large part of the
space a second time, as one is likely to
do when attention is drawn away every
few seconds. The sprayer soon pays for
itself. . ' A. F. J. B.

FORCING WHITE LILACS.

T have some white lilacs in the garden
which were forced under glass in the
spring of 1905. Can they be forced
again with good results this sea.son?
Please give directions how to do it.

Morris.

Lilacs, like some other shrubs of a
like nature, can be reforced after two
st-asons' rest. Our experience has been,
however, that pot-grown plants will give
better results. Lift and pot the lilacs
at once. Keep outdoors until frost has
removed the leaves, then store in a cool
pit, shed or cellar until you want to force
tliem. I would not advise starting before
January 1. A warm, moist house and
frequent sprayings overhead are needed
fnd the plants should be removed into
a cooler house as the flowers expand,

SUGGESTIONS

Vc^^t^*^^

Lcrraine Begonias.

Now is the time that popular winter
bloomer. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, is
growing raj^idly. The plants should
double in size this month, if well looked
after. They now need a warm house;
one with a rather moist atmosphere and
little shade suits them well. Keep the
shoots pinched and siake out the plants
with thin sticks. Leave them a little
Icnger than the shoots, so that you can
give them an additional tie later.

If any Lorraines are not yet in their
flowering pots or pans, lose no lime in
shifting them. X'se plenty of flaky leaf-
nold, well rotted manure and san<l in
preference to a heavier comnost. Pick
off any flowers appearing. You do not
want any of these much before Christmas.
Do not try to grow Lorraines in a coM
house. They will endure 50 degrees at
night while blooming and be of improved
quality, but 10 degrees higher is needed
for a while.

Poinsettias.

Late propagated cuttings of poinset-
tias which are in small pots can still
be made up into pans, in which they al-
ways sell much better than in jutts.
Some growers plant a few small pteris

or nephrolepis ferns in the pans. They
make the pans much more attractive, and
also assist in covering the lower part
of the stems, which a little careless wat-
ering will quickly defoliate.

Poinsettias should now be in a house
kept not below 55 degrees at night.
With careful watering they will stand
5 degrees lower and hold their foliage
well. This cannot be done if the man
in charge persists in giving each plant
a regular morning allowance of water,
no matter whether it be wet or dry.
With foliage of a dark green color down
to the pots, poinsettias are very attract-
ive ; far too often we see long, naked
stems.

The plants are now growing rapidly.
Stake Ihem wherever necessary and, if
any are well rooted in the pots or pans,
give them weak manure water or a top-
dressing of some such chemical as Clay's
Fertilizer.

Azaleas.

The Belgian-grown azaleas will soon
be arriving in quantity and where many
are grown this will entail a good dea!
of labor in potting. Quite a few of the
balls nmy have become very dry in tran-
sit. It will be unsnfe to pot them in
this c(tndition. Soak in water for a

couple of minutes first. Pot the plauts
in as small pots as they can be con-
veniently squeezed into. It may be nec-
essary to pare off a little of the ball
to accomplish this. For compost use a
mixture of loam, leaf-mold and sharp
sand, but not any manure. Drain the
pots well and pack the soil firmly
around the pots, using a flat-pointed,
wooden rammer for the purpose. Allow
a good margin for watering on. The
|)lants should be stood after potting in a
cold house, shed or cellar, one from
which, however, frost can be excluded.
If you are busy with other pressing
work, the azaleas will not suffer any
harm for a few days if stood on the
floor where it is cool and moist.

Freesias.

A late batch of freesias should now be
potted or placed in flats. They will not
be long in appearing above ground.
Room in the greenhouses will be at a
premium until the pressure of chrysan-
themums wanes, but the freesias will be
all right in a cold frame for some weeks.
Mats may be needed for protection by
the middle of the month.

The earliest batch, wanted for Christ-
mas or New Year 's trade, which ought
to be on a bencli in a light, snnny
house kept at 50 degrees to 55 degrees
at night, will need some staking if you
want straight flower-stalks. The plants
will now have their receptacles well mat-
ted with roots and a weak dose of liquid
manure once a week will be found help-
ful.

Use care in fumigating where freesias
are grown. They will not stand strong
doses. The leaves will burn at the
tips and this much decreases the value
of the flowers. Be especially careful

prising to note how the uses of cattleyas
are being extended. Many retail store
florists who turned up their noses at
orchids a decade ago, find them a neces-
sity now. Cattleya labiata is not a diffi-
cult species to grow and flower. Just
now, as the buds are pushing through
the sheaths and the blooms are in some
cases expanding, use care in watering.
The plants are better kept moderately
dry at the root while the flowers are
open. A dry atmosphere will also assist
in keeping the blooms fresh. For store
trade nothing will so quickly attract the
eyes of passers-by as a basket or two
of orchids. Even if you do not sell the
plants, they will prove a good advertise-
ment.

Cyclamens.

How are your little seedling cycla-
mens, sown in late summer, coming
along? They should all have appeared
before this and some will be making their
second leaf. If you sowed them rather
thinly in flats, as recommended some time
ago, they will not need disturbing yet
awhile. Do' not allow the surface soil
to become green and slimy. Stir it up
with a jointed stick. Give the little
plants a li^ht bench or a house kept at
50 to 55 degrees at night.

Plants for winter and early spring
blooming will all have received their final
potting before now. If you have housed
them, keep them cool and airy, not over
50 degrees at night, and 5 degrees lower
will be better. If your frames are well
built and you can protect with mats, you
can keep your cyclamens in them for a
month yet. Do not neglect an occasional
fumigation. Thrips will quickly dis-
figure them. As the sunlight decreases
a reduced water supply will be needed.

if you are using h)l)acco stems. An ex-
perience has been that the use of these
damaged the foliage far more than a
fumigation with liydrocyanic aciil gas.

Cattleya Labiata.

Labiata, the most useful of all fall-
blooming cattleyas, is now coming in
season. It is always welcome, arriving,
as it does, at :i lime when flowers are
none tot» abundant. It is reaflv sur-

I'se the watering pot instead of the hose
now and the plants will benefit from
the change.

Brief Reminders.

It will hardly pay you to run any
houses now without a little crack of
fire heat at iimes. This is especially
true in dull and damp weather.

Son;e shading will be needed over the
chrysjuitheminns as tlie flowers open, or

you will lose many of them. Early
varieties again are proving the most
profitable sorts to grow. Take note of
valuable early kinds you have not yet got.

Give Euphorbia jacquiniseflora (ful-
gens) a warm house. This makes a capi-
tal Christmas seller in pots and the
sprays always take well.

Mignonette must be grown cool. Use
as little fire heat as possible and you
will have stronger stalks. Attend to dis-
budding and give supports before the
stems become twisted.

Ardisia crenulata should have a light,
cool house. Its berries and foliage are
both attractive and well grown plants
are always easy to sell.

Do not be in a hurry about lifting
roots of cannas, dahlias and gladioli. Cut
the two former down to within a few
inches of the ground after frost comes.

Do not trouble to save old plants of
Salvia splendens for stock. You can get
better plants from spring-sown seed.

Continue to divide and replant hardy
herbaceous perennials on all favorable
occasions.

Make a sowing of a good strain of
stock for bench culture. Sow in
flats and pot off singly.

Do not allow the hydrangeas to feel
too severe a frost; 2 or 3 degrees below
freezing will not injure them, but 10
degrees may destroy all hopes of flower
for another season.

Be sure to fumigate all the houses
regularly now. Never mind if you can
not see the pests. Prevention is better
than cure.

Last week the types made the asser-
tion that seventy-five to 100 tulips could
be started in a flat 12x14 inches, when
it should have been 12x24 inches. Don 't
plant too thickly.

THE JACOBS ESTABLISHMENT.

Since S. Jacobs & Sons moved into
their new factory at 1365 to 1379 Flush-
ing avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., their busi-
ness has shown the increase which sel-
dom fails to follow improvement in fa-
cilities. There is a stimulus in greater
room and wider possibilities that is al-
most always felt in the selling depart-
ment, even before the work turned out
from a modernized plant has a chance
to speak for itself. In the case of
Jacobs & Sons the increase in business
has been so great that already an addi-
tion to the plant is being, planned. They
have fifty men employed. This enter-
prise began in 1871, thirty-six years ago.
The new factory has 50,000 square feet
of floor space. There are two 150 horse-
power boilers and an engine capable of
400 horse-power. The first floor is the
mill department, where all the lumber
is planed and prepared for its various
uses. Modern machinery has been in-
stalled. The second floor is the sash
department, and it is crowded to the
doors. Everything is ordered, and tbe
firm is already oversold. In the glass
storage room are 5,000 boxes of large
greenhouse glass and 5,000 boxes of
hotbed glass. The lumber yard, filled
with air-dried cypress, covers nearly an
acre. The putty department is an in-
teresting one, for 150 tons of putty are
manufactured and shipped yearly. The
machinery is never idle. No mineral
oils are used, or anything causing arti-
ficial weight. Four brothers constitute
the firm, every one an expert in his spe-
cial department.

MIDDLEMAN AND SALESMAN.

[A paper by Win. H. McKisslck, of Philadel-
phia, Pa., read before the Florists' Club of
Philadelphia, October 1. 15)07.]

This paper, gentlemen, is not written
with an antagonistic spirit, for we whole-
salers are far from hunting trouble. A
full share is already portioned out for
us, and we are pretty sure to get it
without looking for it. But it is written
with a hope that it may in a measure
bring the middleman and the storekeeper,
or the buyer, into closer touch with each
other, and with the idea that it will
help each to more fully realize and ap-
preciate what one is doing for the
other.

Some Bygone Salesmen.

Some of you will probably remember
how, twelve or fifteen years ago, the few
wholesale houses which were in existence
at that time employed men and boys at
from $8 to $12 per week and called
them salesmen. Their business was to
sign for express packages, check up the
contents, wait on a customer or answer
the telephone — which was first installed
about this time in one of our houses.
In other words, these men were a sort
of jack of all trades and master of none.
As a rule their employer was a frank,
open-hearted, honest sort of man him-
self, and one who felt that his employees
were equally so whether he was on deck
or not, and he never thought it neces-
sary to see whether these so-called sales-
men were handing out $1 worth for $1, or
$10 worth. He simply took their word
for it, and when the end of the week
came he possibly sat down and figured
for hours and hours in his efforts to lo-
cate the sale of certain material which
he was positive he had received from
his growers and for which he found no
bill of sale. Finally, after all his ef-
forts had been exhausted, he would go
down in his pocket to pay for the goods
and take chances of finding the leak
later. Another week would go around,
with possibly the same experience and
the leak still unfound.

Mysterious Disappearance of Stock.

Now, in other markets, I am told, it
is customary for the buyer, in order
to secure a bargain, to pass slyly to the
80-called salesman a piece of money, pos-
sibly 50 cents or $1, and if he did not
resort to this method he would probably
have to pay an exorbitant price, or, to
use a common phrase, be burned. The
word "burned" needs no explanation;
we all know too well the meaning of it.
Now, while conditions were in days past
nearly as bad on this market, it never
came down, to my knowledge, to the de-
liberate handing out of cold money. To
be sure, there were times when material
disappeared mysteriously from the
wholesale houses. After accepting a ci-
gar or a dinner on the quiet, or after
visiting some neighboring grog shop at
the invitation of some of the buyers who
were not burdened with an oversupply of
principle, the so-called salesman did the
work, and should these buyers have sud-
denly gotten religion, and on the impulse
of the moment revealed what they knew
to the proprietor, he would probably have
had a solution to the leak in his sales.

Another bad feature of the business
at that time was the overgenerous spirit
of the wholesaler in allowing his em-
ployees and others what was known as a
donation. When Saturday night came it
was not considered out of place by the
employer to allow an employee a portion

Villiam E. McKissick.

of the flowers left over as a donation.
But this privilege became sadly abused,
so much so that flowers at times took
wings, and the privilege had to be
stopped.

Selling From Wagons.

Another ancient idea was the sale of
flowers from the wholesale houses by
wagon. This custom you are all familiar
with, and while at one time a success, of
late years, since we have had the tele-
phone and understand more thoroughly
what could >je accomplished by it, the
wagon has almost entirely been aban-
doned. If it were not for the fact that
one of our wholesalers, whom I have
the honor to regard as a good neighbor
and a close friend, still persists in using
his wagon, I would be inclined to say
about such a man, as our friend Mr.
Meehan said about the grower who still
carries his own stock, that "he was ten
years behind the times. ' '

But today, gentlemen, things are dif-
ferent. The wholesaler, profiting by his
past experience and that of others, and
awakening to the call which competition
has made, is running his business direct
from the shoulder and on the most up-
to-date principles and methods. The day
of the donation is past; he has discovered
that the flowers in his possession are not
his own but the property of some grow-
er. If his employees want them they are
welcome to them at the lowest market
price; but they must be paid for. The
day of the would-be salesman is done,
and in his place we have those who have
stood the test and have proven them-
selves to be capable salesmen without
a question of doubt. The wholesaler of
today employs the most fully experi-
enced men he can get. systematizes his
business, puts the men in their respective

places according to their knowledge and
ability as salesmen, packers, graders and
delivery clerks, paid them their price,
and demands results. He has an eagle
eye on the goods coming in — where they
come from, how they are handled and
gr.ided, how sold and at what price, how
packed and delivered — thus keeping in
touch with the stock he is handling from
the time it reaches his place of business
until it is handed over to the store-
keeper and the bill is O. K.'d, or is de-
livered to the express company for ship-
ment.

The Modern Salesman.

The salesmen in our wholesale houises
today are a class of experienced and
energetic young men of whom our store-
keepers should feel proud. As compared
with the salesman of fifteen years ago,
these are real salesmen and real men,
who are fully capable of selling material
at its market value and who do not have
to stoop to the low standard of giving
the buyer more than a dollar's worth for
a dollar, with the idea of securing his
business and making a large book or
appearing to be more than he is to his
employer as a salesman.

Philadelphia's middlemen, I am giad
to say, are all progressive and have m^de
wonderful strides along the lines of ad-
vancement, credit for which has been
handed out to them in various forms.
One will say, "He's a wise, shrewd
business fellow." Another will say,
' ' Mr. Blank, his former employer, taught
him all he ever knew," And still an-
other will say, "His financial backing
is his whole success, and without that
he would be lost." But, gentlemen, let
me put you right; all of these things
are in a measure responsible. A man
must have a good, level head to man-

age his business successfully, but a great
percentage of his success is due to the
ability and untiring efforts of the men
who plug away from morning until night
to sell the stock, and who after hours
will give him valuable suggestions to aid
him in the daily routine of his business;
this man is the salesman. Now, where
do we get these good salesmen of whom
we are boasting? Were they born sales-
men or made salesmen? Allow me to
answer this by saying that in my judg-
ment it is ability and experience on their
part, combined with keeping in cloee
touch with their employer, which has
made many of these men what they now
are; but I hope they will not take my
remarks as flattery, for they are simply
intended to give them the encouragement
which they deserve and which has long
been coming to them.

We have few college-bred men in our
profession, but we have men of charac-
ter and ability, who are slowly but surely
pushing to the front. Why not a course
in scientific salesmanship for some of

Telephone Service and Its Cost.

Possibly two-thirds of our local busi-
ness is at the present time done over
the telephone. Each wholesaler has his
trade divided, and a careful man appoint-
ed to look after the requirements of
every customer. The stores are only be-
ginning to appreciate what these men
do for them in the way of keeping them
in touch with the market conditions, and
especially in the way of prices and new
material, which some of the out-of-the-
way stores would not know about for
possibly a week if it were not for the
telephone. As it is, they can now find
the exact conditions in a few minutes.

But does our friend the storekeeper
realize the great expense item that the
telephone is to us? The total cost to
the wholesalers combined for local tele-
phOEe service is probably from $5,000
to $8,000 annually, and while we cannot
do without such service, I assure you
the cost is a problem which gives the
middleman some occasion at times to

them and fit them for the positions
which will surely be to oflPer if the whole-
sale florists' business continues to ad-
vance with the same speed it has done?

put on his thinking cap. With this
amount of money expended we expect
results, and in most instances we get
them, as I am glad to say that the ma-
jority of our stores appreciate the tele-

phone service and the information which
it brings. But there are still a few
stores where the management is so poor
that they allow their employees to treat
a call from a wholesale house as a joke,
and believe the salesmen have nothing
else to do but to make telephone calls to
pass away the time. Sometimes the em-
ployees of such stores, when answering
the telephone, are not courteous enough
to inquire the purpose of the call, but
as soon as they learn that a call is from
a wholesale house simply say, "Nothing
doing,'' and hang up the receiver. This
is one abuse of the service which needs
attention. We can make allowance in
some instances, where the storekeeper
may be busy with a customer, or again
where he may have a good supply of
stock on hand and no prospects of busi-
ness, but salesmen are human beings, and
a little courtesy extended to them, though
it costs nothing, may work wonders for
the storekeepers at some future time,,
when certain material may be scarce and
the proprietor badly in need of it. Mr.
Storekeeper, try my prescription, and in-
struct your employees accordingly, and if
it fails to cure we will refund your
money with pleasure.

Prompt Delivery Setvice.

Just a word now in regard to delivery
service. Our city today is doing for the
retail trade what no other city does,
as far as I know — giving them prompt
delivery service at any hour of the day
from 7 a. m. to 8 p. m., and during
the holiday season, I may add, at any
time during the day or night. This is
, all free to the storekeeper, but not to
the wholesaler. To give the proper serv-
ice the larger houses are compelled to
employ for their delivery at least from
five to ten boys, at a cost of anywhere
from $4 to $5 per week. Total this up,
add the amount it costs weekly for car
tickets, etc., and you will find it runs
into money.

The prompt delivery service which we
are giving today ha& been brought about
by competition. Often our larger stores
will divide a very large order between
two or more wholesale houses, ask for
immediate delivery, and then watch care-
fully to see which house has their order
delivered first. This is an important
item to the buyer, who makes a note of
the best service given him and in return
places the next important order which
he may happen to have, with the man
who gives him the attention and on
whom he can depend.

Excessive Competition.

I have endeavored to show you what
this service means to our most up-to-date
storekeepers, and to make it plain to you
that they fully appreciate our efforts,
but in some ways the competition has
been overdone in the way of delivery.
We have been at times so ambitious to
please the trade that we have delivered
at a loss very small bills of goods, pos-
sibly 75 cents' worth, or, to make it
round figures, $1, the commission on
which will amount to a paltry 15 cents.
The goods are placed in a box probably
worth 5 cents and the carfare to the cus-
tomer may run anywhere from 8 cents to
15 cents. Figure this up ^ourselves, gen-
tlemen. This is what some of our less
thoughtful storekeepers expect and insist
that we do, but I tell you that the
wholesaler is beginning to realize that
this is making money backwards, and
one of our houses has boldly come out
recently and told its customers, in a

polite way, that while it wants their
business, and is willing to give them the
service, it cannot afford to and will not
deliver a bill of goods under $2 to any
point where it is necessary to pay car-
fare, unless the carfare is added to the
price of the goods. This, in my judg-
ment, is a step in the right direction,
and while I believe in every man run-
ning his own business, I do not think
he would make a mistake in following
this example. Every sound-minded store-
keeper is well aware of the fact that the
existing competition in our business is
bringing not only this service but dol-
lars and cents to his door every day,
and it would be suicide for him to dis-
courage us in our efforts. Is not 10 or
15 cents' worth of carfare a small mat-
ter to you, Mr. Storekeeper, if you
want an accommodation and want it
quickly ?

The OuUook for the Wholesaleri.

To make a long story short, allow me
to say that the wholesalers have to be
and are a hustling class of men, who are
willing to work night and day for re-
sults, and who have been doing it for a
number of years. Today they are com-
mencing to see light aheaci; the grower
and storekeeper alike are slowly grasp-
ing the fact that the wholesaler is a
better man than they had given bini
credit for. They have had a Idok at his
brighter and better side and are profit-
ing in more ways than one by his ef-
forts. The sun is rising for him ; 1 will
not say in the east, but just as surely
as the sun must rise somewhere, so surely
will the middleman, continue to advance.

Our business is in its infancy, and
while it is so, why not bring it up in the
way it should go? We can never form
a Philadelphia florists' protective asso-
ciation, after our experience of one year
ago, but we can show our fellow business
men, both wholesale and retail, that we
are willing and ready to meet them half-
way on any proposition that will be for
the mutual good and advancement of
our profession, or that will in any way
make this rough road, which the florist
must travel, more smooth.

THE SPENCER SWEET PEAS.

It is quite certain that no sweet pea
ever created more interest than has re-
sulted from the introduction of Countess
Spencer, for not only was the variety
of itself a marked advance, but it seems
to have been imbued with a sportive
character all its own, and we now have
Spencers of many colors, the one trouble
being that several European firms have
sent out practically identical Spencer
sports under different names, so that
some confusion has resulted.

Two Spencer sports of special inter-
est originated with L. C. Routzahn, of
Arroyo Grande, Cal., and are now being
exploited by W. Atlee Burpee & Co.,
Philadelphia, in their own proficient way,
prior to distribution to the trade. One
is a pure white and is called Burpee's
White Spencer. It is unquestionably a
magnificent variety, white seeded and
true to the type. The large, waved
flowers are borne three and four to the
stem and are uniformly well placed. The
other variety is Burpee's Primrose Spen-
cer, as good in all respects and equal
in depth and richness of color to The
Hon. Mrs. E. Kenyon, which, of course,
it outranks in form and size.

Lester L. iviorse gives these two vari-
eties a splendid sendoff, the white espe-
cially, which he says excels all other

Sweet Pea Burpee's Primrose Speocer.

whites. Mr. Burpee liimself says:
' ' From examination of Etta Dyke and
Purity as grown in England the past
summer we should not be surprised if
these and Burpee's White Spencer (all
of similar origin) would prove to be
identical. This remains to be proven
when they can be thoroughly tested
side by side in 1908." In this connec-
tion the following, written by a London
seedsman for the Horticultural Adver-
tiser, will be of interest:

' ' There are some good Spencer breaks
in the States, for I have before nie as
I write blooms of deep mauve, light
mauve, lavender, white, magenta, and
cream Spencers grown from seed sent
me by a well-known American. I have
seen similar things in home gardens, but
certainly not finer types.

"I have seen a good many white
breaks from Countess Spencer, but cer-
tainly none to surpass this American se-
lection, which will probably be sent out
this coming season. To all intents and
purposes it is synonymoifs with Bread-
more 's Etta A.yke, which will appear
shortly. At Reading, Breadmore's stock
w-as quite fixed, but the flowers were very
impure, being greenish, and not com-
parable with the blooms I have now he-
fore me. These open with a greenisii

edge, winch very soon fades, leaving the
flowers quite dead white.

"This White Spencer seems to take
more time to develop than most sorts,
but when cut with two flowers open,
and finished in water, it is glorious. Much
as I love Dorothy Eckford, this true
White Spencer is assuredly delightful.
It is more waved than any other Spen-
cer, large, and although not so leathery
as D. Eckford, it is still very good.

"I have no hesitation in saving that
the White Spencer, or, as it "^is to be
known on this side, Etta Dyke, is going
to be one of, if not the, leading varieties
tor 1908. It has created much excite-
ment wherever I have shown it, and
a friend in Victoria, B. ('.. tells me that
his White Spencers fairly made people
gape. However, one need go carefully
when buying stock, as there are manv
different lots about.

"It is curious that while a number
of growers may get a break, all ap-
parently the same, yet when comparisons
are made, one may prove to be brighter,
larger, or more vigorous. It is so with
John Ingman, TTiere were many who
found a rosy carmine among their Count-
ess Spencers, but they were not all the
same although the color was practically

It is worth while keeping an eye on
the pag&s of European advertising in
the Review. There are many offers
there that will mean money to you to
know about.

The paper on ' ' The Growing of Vege-
tables, ' ' by W. W. Rawson, Boston, which
appear on page 26 of this issue, is of
interest to other tlian forcers of vege-
tables. It contains many points of value
to every man in the trade.

When the Review delivered to its en-
graver tlie set of photographs of the
work of Charles Henry Fox, the first of
which appears in this issue, the engraver,
necessarily a man of artistic perception,
remarked : ' ' Well, there certainly are
in this world some men of excellent
taste. ' '

H. B. May & Sons, of Edmonton,
near London, England, who have long
been famous as fern raisers and growers,
have purchased the stock and good will
of W. & J. Birkenhead, Sale, Man-
chester, who are among the most widely
known British fern specialists, having
a considerjible business in America.

The strongest opposition to a parcels
post comes, not from the express com-
panies, but from the country merchants,
who see in it a means for their certain
extinguishment by the mail-order con-
cerns in the cities. On the whole, is not
the prosperity of the country merchants
of greater importance to the people at
large than is the success of a few big
mail-order houses?

A ket.vil florist should have station-
ery in the best of taste; it often is re-
garded as an index to one's capabilities
iu the matter of executing orders.

The police authorities in the city of
Washington have ordered all bay trees
and other plants removed from the side-
walks, where they stood in front of
many flower stores, hotels, etc.

It is interesting to note that at the
Congress of Horticulture at the James-
town exj)08ition both F. R. Pierson and
W. W. Rawson advocated the building
of large greenhouses, rather than cover-
ering the same area with smaller struc-
tures. One is a loading cut flower
grower and the other an authority on
vegetables under glass.

William Kuvk, of Hillegom, Holland,
who is the owner of the new type of
carnation .originating with the French
grower, Alfred Giraud, reports that the
first variety of the set of five, deep pink
in color, has been named Rose Giraud
and exhibited before the Societe Na-
tional d 'Horticulture of France, where it
was given the highest award, as he says,
La Prime de premiere Classe.

THE DEATH ROLL.

Leon Duval.

Word conies from Paris, France, of
the death of Leon. Duval, widely known
as a nurseryman at Versailles. He was
63 years of age and has devoted much
l)ainstaking attention to chrysanthe-
mums, orchids and anthuriums.

John E. Olsen.

John E. Olsen, of the Illinois Seed
Co., Chicago, died September 27, after
an illness of only five days with appen-
dicitis. He had been with the Illinois
Seed Co. for many years and had many
friends in the seed trade and on the Chi-
cago Board of Trade. George S. Green,
president of the Illinois Seed Co., and of
the American Seed Trade Association,
pays Mr. Olsen a high tribute when he
says his demise brings a sad loss to the
trade and to the firm, while individually
he feels a deep sense of personal bereave-
ment. Mr. Olsen leaves a widow and a
son 4 years of age.

E. E. Petersen.

E. E. Petersen, of Denver, who was
well known in the trade, died September
28 at Los Angeles, Cal., where Mr. Pe-
tersen and his wife had been for four
months in hopes of benefiting his health,
which had been steadily failing for some
time. He leaves a widow and three chil-
dren.

Andrew D. Pryal.

Andrew D. Pryal, a well-known horti-
culturist and a resident of Alameda
county, California, for over forty years,
died at his residence at Claremont, Cal.,
September 28, and was buried in Oak-
land, Cal., three days later. Mr. Pryal
was probably the oldest nurseryman on
the Pacific coast, and although he had
not for many years been actively engaged
in business, he kept in close touch with
horticultural matters and for several
years had acted as inspector of fruit
pests for Alameda county. He was
much interested in the growing and hy-
bridizing of vegetables and bulbs and
he had considerable success with pota-
toes, gladioli and berries. Mr. Pryal
is survived by a family of grown-up sons
nnd daughters.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

■ There is considerable difference in
the reports as to the state of business
this week, some houses saying that the
demand is still excellent and ahead of
what it usually is at this period, while
others say that the big rush which
began September 28 lasted only a few
days and that this week finds the mar-
ket decidedly slow. The difference ap-
pears to be in proportion to the sup-
plies available in the different whole-
sale houses. Those which have large
cuts of good stuff are doing a fine busi-
ness this week, and those which have
only odds and ends and whose regu-
lar winter stock has not yet come in,
are feeling the absence of demand.
Brown-edged dahlias are not salable
and the fag end of the aster and glad-
iolus crops is little more in request.

There continues to be an excellent
demand for Beauties, although prices
have eased off a little since a week
ago, especially on the longest. Medium
lengths are not equal to the demand,
which is strong for this grade. In fact,
all good roses are selling well, but at
somewhat weaker prices. While the
extra select grade is still bringing the
top quotations, the grading is a little

closer than it was when the market
was stiffer. The quality of the roses
is improving rapidly.

The supplies of carnations are this
week considerably greater than a week
ago, for the several days of warm
weather brought out the flowers rapid-
ly. Some growers have not yet begun
to cut, but the production is larger
than it was in the first half of October
last year and the quality of stock gen-
erally better. Some dirty whites are
seen, but most of the stock is really
fine and the stems are of satisfactory
length. Enchantress leaves little to be
asked for and White Perfection is in
splendid shape. Prices on the best
grade hold up well, and it looks as
though there would be a good market
unless the weather is too warm and
takes the shipping quality out of the
stock.

Chrysanthemums have come on at a
rapid rate this week and supplies are
now equal to all demands. Prices have
weakened perhaps 25 per cent as a re-
sult of increased supplies. From re-
ports it appears that there are more
mums being grown for this market this
year than in any recent season. Whole-
salers who have visited among the
growers say the stock all is in fine shape
and that they look for an inundation
of chrysanthemums in the next couple

of weeks. This naturally will have the
effect of weakening prices in other
lines.

The receipts of Hudson river violets
have increased and the quality im-
proved since last report. The flowers
now received are as good as one could
expect before settled cold weather ar-
rives. There is no active demand for
them and prices hardly seem to war-
rant such heavy early shipments.

Lilies have become one of the scarce
items and are in good demand. There is
quite a call for valley, as the autumn
wedding season is on.

The store-opening decorations, which
made so good a demand for greens last
week, have ended, but there is still a
good market for wild smilax. The in-
door article seems rather overabundant.
The call for plumosus in bunches regu-
larly exceeds the supply.

First Provide a Supply.

It seems to be generally understood
that the Chicago market is certain to be
well supplied with stock this season.
There has been no great increase in the
aimount of glass, but inspection shows
that everywhere conditions are excellent
and good production assured. One or
two growers seem inclined to take alarm,
hut they should bear in mind that the

assurance of supplies is also an assur-
ance of large demand. It has been
proven over and over again that when
buyers know their orders will be filled
they send thenri" liberallj', but when there
is a doubt as to the supply they often ,
refrain from ordering stock they well
(!Ould use. A steady and adequate supply
is the basis for building a big business.

Various Notes.

The employees of the wholesale florists
will give their second annual ball at
(Jolumbia hall, on North Clark street, on
Wednesday evening, October 30, and have
laid plans for an event which shall eclipse
in all respects the successful affair held a
year ago. The committee in charge con-
sists of Charles Erne, .Tohn Enders and
Herman Rodgers. They speak of the
decorations as being a special feature
of the affair.

Bassett & Washburn say that if the
retail business is as good everywhere as
it is in the wealthy suburbs along the
Burlington, the retailers should have no
cause for complaint. In the towns of
Hinsdale, Downers Grove, Riverside and
La Grange there are a large number of
well-to-do people, and there is no florist
in any of these towns catering specially to
the local demand, a large part of which
comes unsolicited to Bassett & Washburn
at Hinsdale. C. L. Washburn says Sep-
tember was away ahead of all jtrcvious
records with theni.

F. Stielow, at Niles Center, has been in
the growing business there since 1874. He
says that in his early days ho came to
town with a pasteboard box containing
stofk for which ho frequently secured

$50, while now to get $50 one must send
in a whole express-wagon load. In the
early days he brought in his stock per-
sonally and peddled it among the retail-
ers, who were forced to buy when the
growers presented themselves in the
morning, as there would be no further
opportunity to secure stock that day.

A. L. Randall resumed active work
in the store October 7. His annual period
of rest on his fruit farm in Michigan
gives him renewed vitality for the stren-
uous winter season indoors.

C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's,
says that they are surprised at the de-
mand for fertilizers thus early in the
season, especially for pulverized sheep
manure. The factory also is behind in
orders for To-bak-ine.

Percy Jones says that the receipts of
stock in the Flower Growers' market on
Monday, October 7, were at least sixty
per cent greater than the receipts Sep-
tember 30, and that quality showed con-
siderable improvement.

Autumn foliage is one of the special-
ties with the E. F. Winterson Co., which
reports the well-colored bunches in good
demand. Wholesale bulb business is
brisk. The counter trade in bulbs is
only just starting.

Vaughan & Sperry report that the
principal demand at the present seems
to be for chrysanthemums. The retail-
ers do not yet want any considerable
quantity of violets, especially since they
know they can replenish their supply at
any hour of the day. The quality of
the violets is much improved by the
cooler weather.

.Tohn Zech is far from being well.

He was able to be at the store for a few-
minutes October 7, but is too weak to
attend to business. Zech & Mann had a
big order October 7 for a wedding. A
large quantity of green stuff was called
for and 750 valley, which was supplied
by a grower at Milwaukee.

C. W. McKellar calls attention to
"The Orchid," now playing at the Gar-
rick, as an evidence of the increasing
popularity of that flower.

Weiland & Riscb say that the New
York violets are decidedly better than
they were at this season last year and
that the supply is much larger.

Leonard Kill and a party of his
friends gave a supper October 7 to Mor
decai Brown, the star pitcher for the
Cubs, during which they presented that
gentleman with a diamond scarf pin
of Mr. Kill's designing. Peter Rein-
berg, John Kruchten and A. C. Spencer
were among those present.

Sam Pearce has been drawn for the
October grand jury, which is scheduled to
investigate gambling.

John Sinner is now at the sales ilo
partment in the Growers' market two or
three days each week, but will put in
the balance of the time in the green
houses until the carnation crop comes on.

Ernest Weber has his place all in
Brides and Maids this year, except two
houses of chrysanthemums, which will be
followed by sweet peas and lilies. He
says his prospects are good, his first cut
just being on.

C. H. Fisk says he expects to buy the
business and take over H. F. Halle's
lease on the West Madison street prop

ture make his headquarters there. Mr.
Halle will in that event give his whole
nttention to his new north side store.

E. C. Amling says that the local
chrysanthemums are about a week earlier
than last year, he having begun to re-
<!eive large local supplies the middle of
last week.

In the sales department at J. A. Bud-
long's they keep a record of every rose
<-ut on the place. It is possible to look
back for three years and see what has
l)een the production of each variety and
the total sales. The record also is of
value as showing the periods of each
year when prices have been high or low
or cuts on or off. There is a similarity
of the records each year in these respects
>vhich makes the information especially
valuable.

John Eeardon says that the chrysan-
themum pot plants at the November show
will be larger and better than any the
local growers ever have exhibited. They
were inspired by the wonderful plant
-Arthur Herrington, exhibited List year.

In framing the premium list the Horti-
cultural Society provided for such plants
by permitting in certain classes the car-
rying up of as many growths as desired.
Heretofore an inch of single stem above
the soil has been required on all plants.

(«eorge Frobey entered the firm of C.
Frauenfelder in August, 1906, when it
became Frauenfelder & Co., and he is
now doing the buying ou the market.
He is Mr. Frauenfelder 's father-in-law
and often is mistaken for Billy Mason.

George Keinberg is preparing to build
a large house to bo devoted to his orchids,
which now occupy two smaller houses.
He will have a considerable output of
green goods this year.

Wietor Bros, say the chrysanthemums
are coming on very fast as a result of
the good growing weather of the last
week.

Kennicott Bros. Co., so E. E. Pieser
says, find October starting a great deal
better than last year.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. reports
that up to September 1 it had taken in

to within a few dollars as much on
Beauties as it did all season last year,
with the same space in Bichmonds.

Frank Felke, at Wilmette, has his en-
tire place in vegetables this season, being
ready this week to market his first crop
of lettuce.

Hugo Luedtke, at Maywood, says Aris-
tocrat is in splendid shape, but does not
give promise of giving many cuttings.
Ho had the first 500 cuttings sent out
of this variety.

The Florists' Club meets tonight and

ILLINOIS STATE FAIR.

At the Illinois State Fair at Spring-
field, October 1 to 3, considerable effort
was made to enlarge the professional
flower show feature. The display of
plants was very good and in nearly all
cases well worthy of the prizes, espe-
cially so in nephrolepis ferns, but the
display of cut roses and carnations in
the professional classes was, with a few
exceptions, very poor. H. W. Buckbee,
of Bockford, came in with a fine lot of
roses and carnations, most of which
came too late to be judged. In roses,
especially, he would have swept the
board. The few of his exhibits that
were up in time all took first prize. The
Thompson Carnation Co. and Chicago
Carnation Co. showed some fine stock in
carnations. In miscellaneous cut flowers
competition was more keen, but mostly

confined to local growers. In artistic
designs the displays were very good,
with a few exceptions.

It is to be regretted that some grow-
ers and retailers that stand among the
leaders in our profession will exhibit
stock and design work that is wholly un-
worthy of any premium at all. This
was done at this show in a good many
instances. Another thing that is much
to be regretted is that the leading cut
fiower growers of our state, especially in
and about Chicago, do not avail them-
selves of the premiums offered at this
show. Their attention was called to
this opportunity just previous to the
fair, and they failed utterly to respond.
Hence the work done by members of the
State Florists' Association, with the as-
sistance of Hon. Bobt. O'Dwyer, to get
the increased appropriation from the
board of agriculture for premiums in this
department, has to a great extent gone
amiss, and most of the time put in by
these men has been a sacrifice. Therefore
there is not much encouragement to
keep it up. J. F. A.

Dahlia night was observed by the New
Jersey Floricultural Society on the eve-
ning of October 4. Besides a large dis-
play of dahlias by private gardeners and
amateur growers, there were many trade
displays. J. C. Williams, of Montclair,
exhibited fourteen varieties of dahlias,
and also peaches and grapes. Lager &
Hurrell, of Summit, exhibited orchids,
including Cypripedium Fairieanum, the
celebrated lost orchid rediscovered in
Thibet by Col. Younghusband. Julius
Roehrs Co., of Butherford, showed sev-
eral rare orchids. Joseph A. Manda, of
West Orange, exhibited orchids, includ-
ing a number of his own seedlings.

The Market.

A most unsatisfactory week, at least
among the wholesalers, has passed since
last report. The early part of the week
there seemed to be a big demand for
stock and nothing with which to fill or-
ders, but the last two days stock arrived
in great quantities, especially dahlias
and chrysanthemums. There were not
enough orders to take the stock. The
present week opened with beautiful,
bright days and chrysanthemums are
coming in quantities.

The retailers were not much better
off than the wholesalers last week. They
were out of humor because they could
not get stock to fill orders and what they
did get was not always satisfactory.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The business last week was excelleut.
Entertainments extended President
Boosevelt and the visiting governors, with
the carnival, kept most of the trade busy.
Quite a few we<lding decorations also
were furnished.

Chrysanthemums are now coming in free-
ly, Willowbrook and Opah, in white, and
Monrovia, in yellow. Prices rule high
on these, as they always do when they
first come in, but by the end of the pres-
ent week prices will no doubt come
down. Roses in all varieties and grades
are coming in more freely, with prices
the same as last week, but a slump is
expected soon. Carnations are cleaning
up almost every day, with some extra
good blooms coming in, but the bulk
of them are still short in stem. Violets
are slow in sale, as they are too smaU
and pale to command a fair price. Cos-
mos is fine and sells well. We had a
little frost last week, which killed some
of the outdoor stock. In greens we have
anything one needs.

Various Notes.

Max Herzog has charge of the green-
houses at the Female hospital and has
the place looking in fine shape.

Gus Eggeling, of the Eggeling Floral
Co., put up a fine decoration for the
banquet given at the Jefferson October 2,
in honor of President Roosevelt.

The Riessen Floral Co. had the decora-
tions at the Planters' and Southern ho-
tels last week, where the many visiting
governors stayed during President Roose-
velt 's visit in the city.

Adolph Brix visited the Springfield fair
last week and bought a few fine plants
for his exhibition next month.

Walter Weber, who has charge of the
greenhouses of H. J. Weber & Sons Nurs-
ery Co., at Nursery, Mo., is sending in a
fine lot of roses. His Richmond, Killar-
ney and Perle are among the best. The
Bride and Maid are good blooms, but as

yet short in stem. He expects this to be
his best season since he started his rose
houses.

The Foster Floral Co., John Burke and
Alex Siegel did a large over-the-counter
business last week. Carnival week proved
a good one for them.

Henry Ostertag had a number of large
decorations last week, for downtown
stores, and has a number of good wed-
dings booked for this month.

Mrs. H. Lohrenz, wife of Henry Loh-
renz, of the Park Floral Co., is visiting
her son in Chicago.

Frank A. Weber, secretary of the H.
J. Weber & Sons Nursery Co., has suc-
ceeded in bringing Geo. T. Powell, of
Geneva, N. Y., hero to address the fruit
growers and others interested in protect-
ing their trees from San Jose scale,
also other orchard insect pests. Mr.
Powell will lecture at Clayton Octo-
ber 12.

The Bentzen Floral Co. and Grimm &

DETROIT.

The Market.

Business is still none too Ijrisk for
tills soason of the year. Some of the
riorists have been busy Avith store deco-
rations, etc., but further than that there
is time for much more work. Several
hirge weddings are booked for this
month and numerous small .jobs spring
lip daily. There is some funeral >vork
lieing (iono, but not enough to keep all
liands busy, although the market remains
well cleaned up.

-Many good roses arc arriving at this
market daily and meeting with ready
sale. Bride, Maid, Killarney, Meteor,
Richmond and Kaiserin are the different
\arieties of good roses on the market.
The price ranges from \\ cents to 8
cents. The first chrysanthemums were
sold in this city last week, but not at
the commission houses. Carnations are
arriving in fairly large quantities and
the stock is good. Of course so far the
snjiply has not been nearly equal to the

demand, but the outlook is for a better
supply soon. Many fine gladioli are go-
ing to waste, with the price down to .3
cents for the best stock. («reen stock is
plentiful,

Qub Meeting.

The last meeting of the Detroit Flti-
ii.sts' Club was well attended. Vice-presi-
<lent Browne occupied the chair. Presi-
dent Scribner gave a lengthy talk on the
last convention. It was a well-prepared
speech and showed much thought. Mr.
Scribner is to give the ladies of the
Twentieth Century Club a talk on gar-
den work. A committee consisting of
^lessrs. Breitmeyer, Scribner and Sulli-
van was appointed to wait upon the
al)ove club. The date for the coming
outing was left open until the next meet-
ing. There was some talk of a local
show, but so far nothing definite has
been done.

Various Notes.

This city has gone baseball mad and,
now that we have the world's champion-

ship series on, all the stores are dis-
l)laying some sort of .appropriate deco-
ration.

White Enchantress lias proven a readv
seller with the Michigan Cut Flower Ex-
change. Many field-grown plants are
l)eing sold and numerous inquiries con-
cerning cuttings (>f it are coming in
daily.

This has been a busy week for Schroe-
tcr's men, with three' store decorations
on their hands, the largest being for

sion of Beauties, foliage baskets elab-
orately trimmed with ribbon, and sev-
eral hundred palms, ferns, etc.

has issued a beautiful catalogue containing samples of
everything desirable in floral ribbons and chiffons.

The cover is in several colors by a well known artist, the
subject being " The Flower Girl/*

This is the most complete and useful ribbon and chiffon
catalogue ever issued to the trade, and should be on the desk
of every florist. The samples of many novel and practical creations shown therein
will give new inspiration to the floral decorator.

The low prices of our standard, reliable grades should prove of
interest to florists catering to every class of trade.

NEW YORK.

The Market

It is Indian summer weather and the
wholesale streets are one vast flower gar-
den. The windows are brilliant with
color and the quality of stock is now su-
perb. The retail demand is growing
daily. There is a market for every-
thing that is good, and . none too much
.stock.

Prices have hardened all along the
line. Some selected Beauties touched 30
eants October 7. A marked improvement
in their quality is evident. The Brides
and Maids, too, begin to assert them-
selves. Stems are longer, heads are
larger and there is little mildew. There
18 no diflBculty in -getting 6 cents for
the best of them. The lower grades,
too, are improving and seem likely to
hold steady at present rates if the chrys-
anthemum flood is not greater than
usual.

The mums are coming rapidly. Polly
Rose, Monrovia and Pacific are most in
evidence. All the earlies will be in by
the end of this week and prices will
doubtless take a tumble. Totty sent
some Monrovia to Fenrich last week
that were sold at 50 cents to 75 cents
i>ach. A big wedding in the near fu-
ture at the Waldorf will use 10,000 Polly
Kose. It will be the largest mum wed-
ing ever seen in New York. Traendly
& Schenck are booked to furnish half
<»f them.

Some grand dahlias are arriving daily
from Lovett, Herbert and other special-
ists. With a continuance of the delight-
ful weather with which the week has

opened the dahlia will round out an ex-
cellent season. .

Carnations are improving rapidly and
for novelties and specials as high as 3
cents is easily obtained. All the medium
and low grades have advanced, but there
is no call for short-stemmed flowers.

Violets are improving in price and
quality. One specialist on Twenty-ninth
street found demand on Monday strong
enough to make them touch 75 cents a
hundred, but 50 cents is high for the av-
erage grade. There will be no steady
violet selling before November.

Gladioli and asters have had their day
and are now retiring. The few that
straggle in at the rear of the proces-
sion are not wanted and this week will
see the last of them. Of isters espe-
cially the shipments have been beyond
all needs. Gladioli of the new and bet-
ter kinds have sold well to the end.
America still holds the palm.

Of green goods of every kind there
is an abundance. Bronze galax is scarce.
The price has advanced to $1.25 per
thousand and will be $1.50 before the
week is over.

There is a grand assortment of Cat-
tleya labiata, Oncidium varicosum, Den-
drobium Phalsenopsis, Vanda coerulea and
Dendrobium formosum. The shipping
demand is materializing early and many
of the large cities have booked season
orders. The outlook for the orchid is
better than ever.

Various Notes.

Frank L. Moore, of Chatham, was in
the city October 5. He is now pushing
rubbejr hose as a side line.

James McManus, best known as an I

orchid specialist, also is handling large
quantities of mums, gardenias, daisies,
valley and Farleyense.

H. H. Berger & Co. report a fifty per
cent rise in values of kentia seeds. Their
big importation is nearly sold, many of
the palm growers using as high as 50,-
000 from this shipment. The demand for
bulbs is said to be excellent.

Ambrose Cleary, at 62 Vesey street,
is conducting auction sales Tuesdays and
Fridays, with a large attendance. .His
sister, Miss Cleary, of Haverstraw, is
office manager. Business is far ahead
of last year at this time and many largo
growers are shipping stock.

B. Suzuki is no longer with the Yoko
hama Nursery Co.

Walter Sheridan was operated on for
appendicitis October 1, after two weeks'
serious illness. The latest news was en-
couragfing. He rallied from the opera-
tion promptly and his splendid health
and constitution will soon, it is hoped,
place him out of all danger. No one
in the trade is better liked or more re-
spected than Walter Sheridan.

Scott Bros., of Elmsford, N.. Y., are
building another greenhouse for sweet
peas and chrysanthemums. James Scott
gives indication of life in the nursery
trade by exhibiting over $2,000 in orders
for fall planting as the result of one
week's hunting. That is better than
hunting bears in Louisiana swamps.

M. Adler, at 30 Wooster street, who
had an exhibit of pins for florists at
the S. A.'F. convention, finds the result
of his Philadelphia display most grati-
fying.

Wertheimer Bros, say the ribbon busi-
ness is the best ever, especially among
florists. S. B. Wertheimer has been
in the west for ten days. The business
there is always much earlier than the
local demand. The firm is receiving
many compliments on its new catalogue.

Arthur T. Boddington has had a phe-
nomenal sale of lilies, especially rubrum
and melpomene. He says there will be
no surpluses of bulbs this season.

H. E. Froment is now receiving large
shipments of L. B. Coddington's Beau-
ties, and from now on the supply will

grow daily from his 50,000 square feet
devoted to this rose, in addition to the
fine Brides and Maids, the entire outfit
being handled by Mr. Froment.

Charles Millang has turned half of his
conservatory into a mum exhibit, and
it makes a light spot for particular
buyers. Ho is handling great quantities
of ferns and plants, as usual.

Mr. and Mrs. Leikens are back from
Newport, although their Newport branch
is still open and a good, steady trade is
maintained at that society center.

Oscar Schultz, of Newport, R. I,, was
in town this week.

John Young says business has im-
proved greatly in the last few days. He
is getting $30 per hundred for the long
Beauties from his Bedford place.

The Yokohama Nursery Co. says the
longiflorum bulbs arrived in particularly
fine shape this season and that, contrary
to the experience of recent years, they
have a surplus of the larger sizes to
offer.

John King Ducr, 644 Madison avenue,
under the management of J. J. Coan, is
rapidly establishing a fine business. Many

works of art add to the distinctiveness of
the establishment, J, Austin Shaw,

VASHINGTON.

Current G>mment.

Some delightful cool weather has had
a bracing effect on business and good re-
ports come from nearly all the stores.
George Cooke says a decided improve-
ment is noticed. Blackistone has his
annual palm sale on. J. A. Phillips has

a fern sale, mostly Piersoni and Bar-
rowsii, fine stock from Henry A. Dreer,
Philadelphia. F. H. Kramer also has a
plant sale on. Mayberry & Hoover have
a force of paper hangers and painters at
work at their store and will soon be in
shape for the coming season, which is
predicted to be a good one.

A lady passing Gudes' store so ad-
mired the old mill and millrace, with the
pond of lilies, water plants, etc., that
she purchased it as it stood and had it
installed in her home.

A visit to Twin Oaks shows that Peter
Bisset has everything in the best of
order. The three new houses just fin-
ished are up-to-date in every respect. He
lias added a fine cellar for mushroom
culture. Mr. Bisset and family are doing
the big show at Jamestown this week.

Gude Bros, are cutting a fine lot of
white chrysanthemums.

The October meeting of the Florists'
Club was held in the Scottish Rite hall,
to give the public a chance to view the
dahlias on exhibition. The hall was well
filled with this beautiful flower. W. R.
Gray, Oakton, Va., exhibited fifty varie-
ties. Mr. Gray has been compelled to
erect a new building for packing ex-
press ancl mail orders. Henry A. Dreer
showed a collection, including quite a few
of the newer ones. Dr. W. W. Evans
showed select blooms of the cactus varie-
ties.

Geo. H. Cooke, J. R. Freeman and Wm.
F. Gude were appointed as a committee
to see the heads of the police department,
who have ordered all bay trees and plants
from the sidewalks.

The Market

While we have not yet had any sharp
frosts, outdoor flowers have been about
destroyed by recent storms of wind and
rain, and this has materially strength-
ened the market, flowers clearing out
much better, although prices have not
shown much advance. Eoses, with the
cooler weather, are steadily improving
and meet with better sale. Carnations
are coming with gradually lengthening
stems, and some nice flowers, for this
early season, are arriving. Chrysanthe-
mums are now fairly abundant. In addi-
tion to Mme. Bergman, Fitzwygram, Oc-
tober Frost and other earlies, some nice
Polly Eosc, Glory of Pacific and Mon-
rovia are seen. Prices are holding up
well on these. Violets are a little bet-
ter in color, but are not yet in great
demand. Lilies are not abundant. A
few callas appeared this week.

While some asters are still seen, this
flower does not now cut much figure in
the market. Really good blooms bring
fancy prices. There would seem to be
an opportunity for some grower to pro-
duce a late crop in frames to come in
at this season, which would pay well.
Some dahlias are seen, but retailers
seem chary about taking these in hand.
Gladioli, candytuft and tuberoses are
seen in small lots. Asparagus plu-
raosus, Sprengeri and adiantum are all
of fine quality, but selling only moder-
ately as yet. The better class stores
are now getting a good supply of Cat-
tleya labiata and Oncidium varicosum
Rogersii.

At the Brockton fair. New England 's
leading autumn carnival, held October
1 to 5, the floricultural show was large-
ly of dahlias from such well-known
growers as J. K. Alexander, Geo. H.
Walker, W. D. Hathaway, Johnson &
Hall, W^ P. Lothrop, Mrs. H. A. Jahn

and others. Waban Conservatories
showed a fine vase of Wellesley rose
through their Brockton agent, W. W.
Hathaway. Paid admissions on October
3 totaled 78,000, with gate receipts of
$32,000. Possibly if the managers of
the coming national flower show can
arrange for a Midway of the Brock-
tonian stamp as a side issue, they may
be able to approximate the foregoing
attendance. Shrewsbury, England 's
greatest show, combines the two. Why
not try it at Chicago?

Welch Bros, have just rounded out
thirty years as a commission firm, ma-
king them probably the oldest firm of
the kind in the country. As most of
their growers have increased their glass
area this season and new firms are ship-
ping to them, they anticipate a banner
season for cut flowers and other lines
5-hich they handle.

Mann Bros., of Randolph, have been
marketing some fine dahlias. They
have an unusually fine lot of winter
blooming stock of various kinds in pots
for the coming season.

Thomas Pegler, as usual, was first in
the field with blooms of Campbell vio-
lets, of nice quality for early October.

September gave us a rainfall of over
seven and one-half inches. Of this
amount three and one-quarter inches
fell September 29.

Edward Hatch, the respected secre-
tary of the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club, is a director of the Exchange

H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, says
his new white seedling carnation is
looking splendid this season and will
be heard from at the coming exhibi-
tions.

Wellesley rose from Waban Conserva-
tories is coming in of fine quality. This
rose has a host of friends and grows in
popularity. W. N. Craig.

TAERYTOVN, N. Y.

Horticttlhiral Society.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Tarrytown Horticultural Society was
held in Good Templars' hall Friday even-
ing, September 27, with President How-
ard Nichols in the chair.

Wm. Will, of Katonah, N. Y., and Alex
Maitland, of Irvington, N. Y., were
fleeted to active membership.

Some very good exhibits of vegetables
were on the tables, and in this connec-
tion there was a lively discussion as to
methods of judging.

The tickets are out for the Novem-
ber show, and our secretary urged the
members to push the sale of them.

LYNCHBURG, VA.

Intentate Fair.

The annual interstate fair was held in
Lynchburg, Va., October 1 to 4. The

weather was fine, which induced a large
attendance. The exhibits in the agri-
cultural, horticultural and pomological
sections were large and of an excellent
grade. The horticultural and pomologi-
cal exhibits were judged by Hon. George
E. Murrell, president of the State Horti-
cultural Society.

The following is the horticultural prize
list:

Largest and bandsome.st rose, cut bloom,
.Tas. J. Curran, Salem ConserTatorles, Salem,

PHILAI/BLPHIA.

The Riiiti£ Eaitern Market.

The arrival of October, first month
of society weddings, brings an increased
demand for choice and white flowers.
Cattleyas are selling briskly. Valley is
scarce. Beally fine white roses command
an excellent price, while in carnations
whites are perceptibly more favored than
the colored varieties. Where showy ef-
fects are desired there is nothing equa)
to the dahlia, which is sold in enormous
quantities at moderate prices. The fancy
varieties are about the same as those
enumerated recently. They are now at
their best.

Chrysanthemums are becoming more
plentiful, with prices receding slightly on
all flo-wers that are not of finest quality.

The varieties of the Pacific family,
named last week, have been reinforced
by Polly Rose, Tint of Gold, and Octo-
ber Frost. Prices are excellent on fine
stock, but there is no especial demand
as yet, excepting for yellow. Asters
are falling back. Double violets have
made their appearance. Single violets
are improving. Smilax is in better de-
mand than the other greens. Some Giant
cosmos is seen. Autumn foliage is be-
coming an important factor. Gardenias
are less scarce.

Qub Meeting.

At the club meeting, reported briefly
last week, the superintendent of the S.
A. F. trade exhibition reported a balance
of a little over $200 after all bills had
been paid. When this account is closed,
one-half will be paid to the national
society and the other half to the Florists '
Clab. President-elect Hahman made a
happy speech when the result of the
election was announced. Eobert Scott
& Son exhibited a beautiful vase of their
new rose, Mrs. Jardine, which was much
admired. William Kleinheinz, of Lynn-
wood Hall, exhibited a vase of remark-
ably well grown standard and seedling
varieties of carnations. Mr. Kleinheinz
told the members that the flowers were
cut from plants that had never been
grown outside. He said he believed that
pot-grown plants, properly handled, so
that they did not receive a check, were
superior to field-grown plants, as the
water could be controlled. It must be
added that Mr, Kleinheinz has remark-
ably cool houses, with side as well as top
ventilation, so that his stock planted in
the benches in July is really almost as
cool as if in the field, and much better
off in every other way.

A Business Experiment.

Tlie S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. is try-
ing a business experiment that is attract-
ing some attention throughout the city.
Their idea is to bring the buyers to their
salesroom, believing that much more sat-
isfactory results are secured by having
the buyer see the stock than can be
obtained over the telephone. To secure
this object, they have issued cards to the
local buyers, entitling the holder to re-
ceive 1,000 galax leaves for every five
purchases of ^4 each made at their

expense of delivering small orders to a

for all the wholesalers, who are watching
this experiment with interest.

A Durable Plant.

Ever since H. H. Battles tested the
durable qualities of Ficus pandurata
and found that it would stand almost
anything in the shape of drought, gas
and high temperature in a dwelling, its
success as a decorative plant has been
assured. It remains for the Eobert
Craig Co. to push this splendid plant as
a necessary adjunct to hotel, restaurant
or apartment house decoration. Today
they have raised a stock that is unrivaled
both in single specimens and in branched
plants. The larger sizes, grown in the
now popular cedar tub, show the true
character of this ficus to advantage.

on Monday he called Phil up to say that

Vegetable Forcing.

THE GROWING OF VEGETABLES.

(A paper by W. W. Rawson, of Boston, Mass..
read before tbe Congress of Horticulture at
the Jamestown exposition, September 23, 1907.]

The culture oi vegetables ia one of the
most interesting and profitable of the
many branches of agriculture, and from
the fact that the demand for fresh vege-
- tables is so great in our larger towns
and cities the growing of these crept
has become a business followed by man^
situated near the large markets. The busi-
ness as carried on today is termed mar-
ket gardening, to distinguish it from the
old-fashioned farming. It requires a
vast amount of knowledge and experience
to be a successful market gardener, and
one must not only know how to grow,
but also what to grow. There are many
crops of vegetables which may be termed
annual products, but there are a num-
ber of varieties which may be grown
to a high point of perfection at all
seasons by the use of glass.

The kitchen garden, as it is often
termed, includes many of these varieties
and especially those which are most
desired by the market gardener, namely,
lettuce, cucumbers, cabbage, onions, rad-
ishes, spinach, beets, celery, carrots, par-
snips, tomatoes, cauliflowers, squashes,
peas, beans and corn.

A good many of these may be called
luxuries and are quite difficult to grow,
but there exists a large demand for
them in our larger cities and towns, and
those market gardeners who specialize in
the varieties mentioned and grow them
successfully have built up a business or
profession which is very profitable.

Vegetables Under Glau*

It is a well-known fact that it is
more difficult to grow crops in the field
than under glass and those who have
the best knowledge of the business grow
many of the finer vegetables inside. To
be successful it not only requires a large
capital and good land, but also a
thorough knowledge of the business.
While in field culture we use the land
for what it will produce with a little
cultivation and some fertilization, under
glass we use land as a machine, putting
into it such crops as we wish to produce
and using such fertilizers as each spe-
cial crop requires. As the manufacturer
puts into his machine the materials which,
with proper care and attention, turn
into the finished product, so it is with
the grower producing his crop from the
soil.

The largest material necessary to pro-
duce any crop is moisture or water; con-
sequently no vegetable grower or mar-
ket gardener can succeed without an ir-
rigation plant. This is true in the field
as well as under glass, though under
glass the water can be regulated bet-
ter according to the requirements of
tbe crop, while in the field the rains are
often so heavy as to cause more damage
than benefit.

The fertilizers are applied before the
crop is planted and as the crop to be
grown demands.

The Complete Fertilizer.

There is only one complete, perfectly
satisfactory fertilizer, and that is stable
manure, which is applied in such quan-
tities as the crops require. Wherever
stable manure cannot be obtained, it is
desirable to use some form of commercial

fertilizer possessing the required amount
of nitrogen and potash for that partic-
ular crop and soil, but for a general
fertilizer there is nothing equal to stable
manure.

There is, however, another complete
fertilizer that has been used to some
extent during the last two or three years,
and that is sheep manure. "When used
as a top dressing for second crops in
the houses, I have found it to be very
satisfactory. It should be used spar-
ingly, however, and only in the pulverized
form, which hastens its availability.
Where it is impossible to obtain stable
manure, sheep manure may serve as a
substitute better than the commercial
fertilizer, as it is a complete manure,
possessing all the elements necessary for
plant life.

Many wonder how the land can stand
so much stable manure, applied many
times a year and for many years without
a rest, but it does stand it and will pro-
duce the best of crops even after such
treatment has been continued for forty
or fifty years.

In the greenhouses there are many in-
sects, weeds and fungi that get into
the soil and endanger the crop, but these
are eliminated by a system of steriliza-
tion, or cooking the soil to a tempera-
ture of 212 degrees. This process will
renovate the soil and produce astonish-
ingly large and perfect crops.

After sterilizing and getting the
soil into perfect condition, with an ap-
plication of twenty to thirty cords of
manure the crop surely should grow,
with proper care and attention. All
crops require a certain amount of light,
heat, air and moisture, and it depends
wholly on the application of these four
items how well the crop will grow
and how perfectly it will mature.

Electricity in the Greenhotise.

During the short days of winter we
are deficient in light, but this can be
supplied by the use of electric arc lights,
which will quicken the crop about fifteen
per cent.

The air should be always pure and so
regulated by ventilation as not to hurt
the growing crop by a draft.

The heat is supplied by the sun and
by steam conducted from the boilers by
pipes to all portions of the houses. The
amount of steam can be regulated by
valves placed near the boilers, thus giv-
ing in each house the necessary amount.
Large boilers are required to produce
steam, at as low a pressure as possible,
to heat large territories of glass; that
is, by the acre. The use of hot water
is an ancient process to the modern mar-

ket gardener. When heating by steam
the pipes are placed three to four feet
above the surface of the soil, at such
distances apart as the desired tempera-
ture requires, and only enough pipes to
give the highest temperature required
in the coldest season.

The moisture or water is supplied f ron>
pipes arranged similarly to the steam
pipes and used as the crops demand.

I have spoken of the use of electricity
in the giving of light, but we have founh
that it is equally beneficial when ap-
plied to the soil by means of a current
passing through the soil from a battery
at each end of the bed and connected
with a wire. The circulation is mani-
fest through all the soil to a marked
degree. The amount of this has to bo-
tested at all points of the bed until tho
proper amount of current is obtained,
for if it is too high the crop will show
a forced growth. This experiment has
only just begun and when, we can regu-
late the current to that amount whicl)
is of the greatest benefit without forcing
the crop too much, it will prove of the
greatest value to the modern market
gardener. I have tried the experiment
in one of my houses in a bed 400 feet
long, and the difference in growth be-
tween that bed and one not treated was
quite marked.

Visited Chicago: E. H. Shumway,

The estimates of delivery of seed peas
on the contract basis range all the way
from thirty to 100 per cent.

Catalogue paper will cost from 50
cents to $1 per hundred pounds more
than it did for 1907 books, and press-
work and binding also have advanced.

The reports from European seed-grow-
ing centers are of more encouraging
character. The splendid weather of late
summer has done much to repair the
damage of a bad start in the spring. •

The death of John E. Olsen, of the
Illinois Seed Co., Chicago, is reported
in the obituary column thia week. He
was highly esteemed and had a wide
circle of acquaintances in the grass seed
trade.

It is reported that the field bean for
commercial purposes will go as high as
$2 to $2.50 per bushel. If this is the
case it will make it easier for the seeds-
man to get $4 to $6 for the garden
varieties for planting purposes.

The improved forms of the Japanese
morning-glory deteriorate rapidly if
great care is not exercised in seed-grow-
ing. This is particularly true of seed
grown in this country, and it appears
Japanese growers are getting careless.

Beports on vine seeds, especially the
pickling varieties of cucumbers, are not
encouraging except in so far as they in-
dicate that high prices will be the rule
and thus give those who have any car-
ried-over stock a chance to recover losses.

C. C. Morse & Co., San Francisco,
have a Countess Spencer sweet pea sport
to introduce this season. They call it
Florence Morse Spencer, and describe it
aa white with picotee edge of pink, of
Spencer type. They have several more
Spencer selections for next season.

The Michigan radish seed crop is re-
ported to be short. Michigan vine seeds
will not pan out more than half a crop.
Garden beans in the Michigan district
are probably better on the average than
in any other of the large producing
centers, but in many cases even there the
reports point to a comparatively short
crop.

Onion sets are now worth about 6
cents per pound, for all colors; shipment
immediate. For later shipment 1 cent
additional per pound is being offered,
but holders are not anxious to sell. It
is thought by some that 10 cents per
pound win be the value of this necessary
commodity when time for spring ship-
ment arrives.

The milling and hand-picking thus far
done on the pea crops of the year show
a much greater shrink than was expected
when the peas were taken in at the grow-
ing stations. The grower depends to
a certain extent upon the dockage taken
at the time of delivery to make up to
him the natural shrink, but as a rule he
loses out and this year more so than
nsiially.

THE NON-VARRANTY.

In discussing recent comment on the
legal phases of seed-selling, a leading
western seedsman said:

"If those who object to the justice of
the seedsman 's non-warranty clause could
realize, as the seedsman does, the neces-
sity for making it stand out prominently
in catalogues and on stationery, their
views would be different.

"Seeds are not, properly speaking, a
product. They are simply the germs
which under favorable natural conditions
will result in a product. The seedsman
may safely say that the seeds, or germs,
that are contained in the package he is
handing over were taken from the ar-
ticle that his customer is seeking to ob-
tain, and that to the best of his knowl-
edge the substance handed over has in it
the inherent characteristics of the article
from which it was taken; and further-
more, that the chances are in favor of

FIELD NOTES ON SVEET PEAS.

C. C. Morse & Co., San Francisco, have
just issued the second edition of their
"Field Notes on Sweet Peas." In the
introduction Lester L. Morse says in
part:

"A substantial evidence of the con-
tinued popularity of the sweet pea is the
numerous requests from many of the
seed trade for copies of our 'Field
Notes.' Since the great fire destroyed
all of our surplus copies we have been
unable to meet these requests, for the
fire left us with just two copies for our
own use.

"We promised many of our friends
that we would rewrite the 'Notes' and
add all the introductions since our is-
sue of 1905, and bring it up to date, and
this issue is now presented to fulfill that
promise, and we trust it will prove a
useful guide to the seed seller, which is
its chief mission.

"In anticipation of our rewriting the
'Notes' we arranged this season for un-

usually comprehensive trial grounds, and
planted practically every variety men-
tioned. Many of these varieties we never
expect to see again, for one can never
appreciate the progress of evolution in
the sweet pea till he contrasts the old
and obsolete varieties with the modern
new ones — for instance, Adonis with
George Herbert, Cardinal with King Ed-
ward VII, Queen of England with Shas-
ta, or Mrs. Gladstone with Countess
Spencer.

' ' The demand for sweet pea seed this
season is even greater than when our
last book was written two years ago,
and our acreage is larger. The intro-
duction of Countess Spencer, as we pre-
dicted, has added to the popularity of
the flower, and the greatest amount of
development work is now being done on
this type, so that within a short time we
will have them in all shades. Person-

Two Grand Novelties for 1908

Esch^choltzia Dainty Queen

We have the greatest pleasure In being able
to Introduce this exquisite new color In
Eschscholtztas. It is so delicate and striking that we are certain It will excite universal
admiration, especially with the ladles, and become one of the greatest favorites of this
charming race of our new improved compact Oallforntan Poppies. It is iilmost impossible to
adequately describe its soft and delicate shades of color, but we are having a plate prepared
which we think will do Justice to its beauty.

The color ts a lender blush, or pale coral pink, slightly deeper toward the edges, with a
groundwork of delicate cream, and like Intus Rosea, our Introduction of two years ago, the
petals are quite the same color inside as outside, so that the color effect is the same when
the flower is open as when closed— a quite unusual point in all other EschsuhoUzias.

It has the same upright, compact liablt as EschschoUzIa lotus Uosea, forming a small,
compact bush, very free blooming, with the flowers standing well above the bright green
foliage, which gives it a singularly attractive appearance for bedding or massing.
$15.00 per XOO packet*; $2.00 per dozen packetg. (25c retail.)

This splendid new Godetia will be eagerly
sought after when once known. It forms a
com'pact little bush about a Inches in height, completely smothered with flowers of the most
dazzling, Intense crimson. A bed of this variety produces a vivid effect, the intensity of
which it is Impossible to describe. We are having a plat-i prepared, which will perhaps con-
vey some idea of its splendid color, but to be fully Hpprpclated, it must be seen growing.
In habit it resembles our Godetia Sunset, which is without doubt the most compact in habit
and most free blooming Godetia yet IntroducPd.

$16.00 per 100 packets: $3.00 per dozen packeta. (25c retail.)

may, however, prevent their general use,
and the standard forms will always be
in demand and we shall continue to work
with them as well as with the new

The pamphlet contains classificatiouB
by form and color, with descriptions of
some 275 named varieties and several
lists of preferences. It is a volume of
great value to the seed trade.

REAPPEAISEMENT.

The Board of United States General
Appraisers at New York gave notice
October 5 of the following reappraise-
ment:

Bulbs. — From C. J. Speelman & Sons, Sassen-
helm, exported Aug. 16, 1907; entered at New
York. File No. 46519. Invoice No. 30845.
FlndlngB of Sbarretts, G. A.: Single tulips,
various colors; entered at 2.50, advanced to
8.60 U. S. dollars per 1000. Double, ditto;
entered at 3, advanced to 4 U. S. dollars per
1000. Add cases and packing. Cash discount
8 per cent.

PEAS AND BEANS.

Although the spring was late and de-
layed sowing, and a dry summer fol-
lowed, we had a very satisfactory yield
on early varieties of peas, giving us sur-
pluses on Alaskas, Wonders, Premium
Gems and Nott's Excelsiors, while Ad-
vancers, Horsford's Market Garden and
later sorts are very short with us.

The continued dry weather shortened
the bean crop and during harvest we
have had so much rain that the sample
■will not be as good as we erpected, re-
quiring more work in hand-picking. A
month ago we expected to be able to
fill our orders on beans in full, but now
find we vrill be short twenty-five to fifty
per cent on quite a number of kinds.

W. H. Grenell.

CALIFORNIA CROP REPORT.

Writing as to conditions in the Santa
Clara valley September 30, Lester L.
Morse, of C. C. Morse & Co., said:

"In regard to crops, the late planted
pieces, which are now being harvested,
are turning out much shorter than we
anticipated.

"Onion seed is considerably less than
we figured a month ago, and personally
we are going to have very little onion
seed left after filling our autumn or-
den.

"Onion bulbs remain high, which will
probably materially affect planting for
the 1908 crop.

"We have been able to do our har-
vesting and shipping much earlier than
usual and within two weeks will be ready
for our early rains."

Japan bulb business has attained may

dian Pacific Co., which left Yokohama
August 27, 1907, for Vancouver, B. C,
took the largest cargo of lily bulbs '^ver
shipped from Japan. A regular record
breaker it is on one steamer, consisting
of -the immense amount of 4,699 cases,
or about 360 tons measurement; one ton
equals forty cubic feet. Taking as an
average 225 bulbs per case, this steamer
carried 1,057,265 bulbs.

The principal jwrtion of this shipment
goes to the United States and Canadian
cities, although a rather large number
reach Europe by this route, partly direct
via Montreal and partly by transhipment
in New York. The bulbs shipped are
at this season principally Lilium longi-
fiorum and its ditterent types and vari-
eties. L. BOEHMER & Co.

MEADOW FOXTAIL.

Alopecurus pratensis, the meadow fox-
tail, is an important item to all dealers
in grass seeds, for it is in wide demand
as a permanent pasture grass. The crop
in Germany turned out larger than last
year and Conrad Appel, of Darmstadt,
says the samples he has received at the
date of his last report, September 16,
show a satisfactory quality and con-
tain less larvE than the year before. ' ' As
you know, last season the owners asked
very high prices for the raw seed, and
therefore the demand for cleaned seed
was not very animated. In spite of the
bigger new crop the owners are now quot-
ing much higher figures, having made

IMPROVING THE TOMATO.

The firm of W. Maugor & Sons, JJrook-
dale Nurseries, at S. Samjison, in the
Channel islands, is doing a good work in
improving tlu> old Large Ked variety of
tomato. For some years Mr. Manger has
carefully selected the seeds of tlie best
shaped fruits, at the same time always
keeping the nuiin features of Large Ked,
its heavy cropping cajjability, and its
anienal)iiity to hard forcing, clearly and
distinctfv preserveil. All Mr. Manger's
tomatoes have been improved in their
stamina and roljustness l)y having a
year's ontcloor growth each second or
third y(>ar. Last year tiu^ best of the
strains of Large Ked were sent to a
specially selectetl district of France and
there grown in the open. The plants
from the seed of these are now growing
nnder glass at Brookdale and have a
heavv' crop of fruit, beautiful in ai)pear-
ance and as healthy as it is possible to
be. There is ju) trace whatever of the
ill-shaj)en, rough-looking old variety.
Though still corrugated, the nnirkings are
(jnite regular, and very gradual. The
fruits are solid ami heavy and of a deep
red color, wliich adds greatly to the
salability of tli(> fruit. Kven the worst of
the tomatoes are infinitely to be j>re-
ferred to the misshapen fruit often jiro-
duced by Winter Beauty and Stirling
Castle when forced hard, says a writer in
the Horticnltnral Trade Journal.

CULTURE OF PENNISETUM.

Please state how to handle the j)en-
nisetum, so as to have bedding plants
in the spring. I have fine clumps.

T. C. B.

There are two methods of getting
stock of this useful grass for spring
sales. The simplest is to sow seeds in
heat in January and pot off when large
enough to handle, gradually hardening
them. We have had excellent success
with plants grown in this way. The
second plan is to lift the old clumps be-
fore severe frost ; ])ack them closely to-
gether in a frame or under the l>ench.
Use a cold north liouse. If just clear of
freezing, they will be all right, .\bout
the end of February break up the
clumps and place in 3-inch pots in a
warm, moist house, where they will soon
commence to make roots and foliage.
P. longistylum is the best species for
florists. C. W.

KivKS Junction, Mich. — E. K. Stewart
is shipping cut spikes of gladioli to
Detroit and Chicago. He is cutting 4,000
to 5,000 spikes per week. They meet
with a ready sale now, as most outdoor
flowers have been killed by the severe
frosts.

and nearly as deep as the standard. The flowers are b()rne three and

I Ills is a fitting companion to Ucit
i'KK's Whitk Si'K.NCEit. The vine is
equally rhrifty and free flowering
l)ut slightly shorter in growth, at
taining a height of eight to nine feet.
The flowers are well placed on strong, thick
stems, ten to twelve inches long, and are
borne never less than three flowers, but
sometimes four flowers, to the stem, as
shown In the Illustration opposite. The
standard measures one and three-quarters
Inches to nearly (If not quite) two inches
across by ab«mt one and one-(iuarter Inches
deep ; the wings are an Inch across by one
and one-eighth inches deep. The texture
is fully as substantial as in BuurEE's
White Spexcek.

The color is a pitoxouxcED pklmrose or
creamy yellow throughout Iwth standard
and wings. It is equal in depth and rich-
ness of color to The Hox. Mas. E. Ken-
YOX, which, of course, it outranks in form
and size. Both standard and wings are
thoroughly crinkled or "waved." Burpee's
Primrose Spencer will hold its own with
any of the so-called "Yellow" Sweet Peas
in color, while it surp.vsses .\t,l others of
THIS COLOR in size of flower, length of
stem and vigor of growth. A decided ac-
((uisition to the Spencer type and the first

NURSERY NEWS.

AHBBICAN A880CIATIQN OF NDBSEBTMEN.

PresM J- W. Hill, Des Moines, la.; Vlce-pres.,
O. M. BobbB, Brldfoport, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. O.
Sewer, Roobester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Rochester.
The 88d annual conTentlon will be hela at Mil-
waukee, June, 1908.

It is worth while keeping an eye on
the pages of European advertising in
the Review. There are many offers
there that will mean money to you to
know about.

S. C. Clapp, for the last six years con-
nected with the John A. Young nursery
at Greensboro, N. C, has been appointed
state inspector of nurseries and orchards,
to succeed S. L, Smith, who hns gone
to Illinois to take up similar work.

The San Benito Nursery Co., of San
Benito, Cameron county, Texas, has been
incorporated, with a capital stock of
$5,000. The incorporators are H. G.
Stilwell, Alba Heywood, W. H. Steiger,
F. P. Foley and R. L. Watts.

W. B. Sands, the florist of Baltimore,
Md., has joined with his sons, W. B.
Sands, Jr., Geo. M. Sands, Frank N.
Sands and Hugh K. Sands, in the char-
tering of a company at Towson, in Bal-
timore. The new corporation, which will
be known as the W. B. Sands & Sons
Co., has a capital stock of $5,000, and
will engage in a general nursery and
landscape gardening business.

The East Highlands Nurseries, Co-
lumbus, Ga,, of which Mrs. Adele L.
Foley is proprietor, suffered a loss of
about $1,000, September 25, by the fall-
ing of a large water-tank. The tank
fell to the ground, a distance of eighty
feet, and was broken into fragments.
The flood of water, suddenly released,
swept everything before it, even break-
ing down a brick wall and carrying some
of the bricks fifty or sixty yards. No
one was injured.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

English ivy can be protected in winter
by i>lacing a coat of loose stable manure
over the roots and spruce or hemlock
branches over all the vines. This will
afford just the amount of protection in
the way of shade that the leaves of ivy
require.

It is not yet too late to put in quan-
tities of ivy cuttings. In many parts
of tho country it is only quite recently
that English ivy started to make such
headway that cuttings in considerable
numbers were available.

Hydrangea cuttings may also be put
in now, either in flats or pots, or in
sand in the bench. It will have to be
t-arefully seen to that the cuttings are
not allowed to wilt during the first few
days.

All the planting that can be done now,
before cold and hard freezing weather
makes such work impossible, should be
rushed to a finish. And then there will
be time for the covering of things that
require such protection.

It will be well to bear in mind that
maples may be seriously injured by prun-
ing or cutting back during the winter
and early spring. That work, if nec-
essary, can be done yet for a little
while.

Although Ampelopsis Veitchii is quite
hardy, or nearly so, in most parts of the
country, sometimes it gets killed right
down from some unknown cause. To

It will be well now to pick up all the

they become useless by remaining on the
damp ground.

All newly planted trees, shrubs or

some other substance, like litter, over the
roots and well up to the trunks or stems.

Spokane, Wash. — In the aster show at
the interstate fair, Hoyt Bros, were
among the exhibitors.

Tacoma, Wash. — Mrs. F. A. McLaugh-
lin is building a greenhouse 20x65 at
Sixteenth and Junette streets.

Los Angeles, Cal. — Frederick Hauss-
niann is building a propagating house
17x70. His son, Milton, is now with
Schwerin Bros., San Francisco.

Alameda, Cal. — The store formerly
occupied by H. Gresens, at 1251 Park

of the Alameda Floral Co. They report
a fine business. Mr. Petrie was former-

MISTAKES IN PLANTING TREES.

The frequent complaints made by
planters, to the eflfect that their trees
have died, and the ever repeated query
as to what is the trouble and why the
trees live a few months and then give
up the ghost, constitute an important
.subject for discussion at this time.
Many people are now making up their
lists of stock and frequent consultations
with the landscape gardener or the nurs-
eryman are held.

To a man who understands the na-
ture of the growth of hardy trees and
plants there is little mystery as to why
«o much good material perishes. With
careless or incompetent gardeners much
of the fault lies. Many of them use
little or no judgment in the selecting of
sites for the planting of specimen trees,
and the one that should be put on high
ground, where there is bound to be but
little moisture in the rainy season, is
probably planted in a low, moist situa-
tion, where it dies at the earliest oppor-
tunity.

One of the greatest mistakes made by
planters — and the gardening fraternity
are not entirely without blame in this
matter — is to dig a hole in a mass of
hard clay soil and, because the ground
is apparently poor and heavy to exca-
vate, fill in around the newly planted
tree with well broken up soil or sand.
Almost invariably the poor tree makes
an abortive effort to overcome the ex-
cess of moisture at the root, and, after
a few leaves have been thrown out, it
is no longer able to continue the struggle
against such tremendous odds and it
grows no longer. This usually hap-
pens after it is too late to plant again
for the same season and the grower or
dealer is usually called on and aske<l
why he sold trees that did not grow.

This may sound like a story told to
children, but every grower who has had
any experience at all is up against such
propositions many times during the sea-
son. I have called attention to the plant-
ing of trees in an excavation in hard
soil and filling up the hole with sand,
all of which acts as a sponge, keeps the
water and allows for no drainage, and
as a result we have a puddle of sour
water and a dead tree.

Thousands of deciduous and ever-
green trees are planted on sidewalks and
hillsides, usually with no topping or
trimming, and then left to shift for
themselves, with the possible chance that
they may be favored by some late rains
and kept alive until they get a fresh

start the following winter and spring.
Of course only a few survive and in-
variably the nurseryman is called on
for an explanation as to why so many
of the trees have died. As an argument,
he will have it called to his attention
that some of the stock lived, showing
conclusively that the others must have
been of inferior quality. The customer
will gravely say that they all received
the same amount of care; therefore, why
did some of them die? California is a
comparatively new country, and nature
has been so prodigal with her natural
gifts that the careless way of merely
planting a tree, and expecting the powers
that govern to do the rest, has per-
meated all branches of the profession
in a measure. However, with a few
more years of experience and more at-
tention to detail, the proposition of edu-
cating planters up to the first principles
of tree planting may not be an impossi-
bility. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The retailers have had considerable
trouble for the last week to keep up even
a semblance of a show of flowers in
their windows. The mum crop, owing
to the rather unfavorable weather we
have experienced for some weeks, is not
so far along as it should be, and as a
consequence the factor we depend on
principally at this time is not sufficiently
in evidence to do us much good. Carna-
tions are apparently scarcer than they
were a week ago, and although the prices
have not been raised, the growers could
get much better figures than they are re-
ceiving for their stock at this time.
Good roses are not to be had, either,
and the heavy, dry winds of the last
few days have done their share toward
making this class of stock scarce. Vio-
lets are fairly plentiful and sell well.
Sweet peas are beginning to show the
results of the long nights by their rag-
ged appearance. Other kinds of outside
stock are not up to the standard, but
the weather has to be taken into con-
sideration when comparisons are made.

Valley is in fair supply. Japanese
lilies are gone for the year. Amaryllis
are scarce and only a few of the late-
blooming kinds are seen. Smilax is
plentiful and all kinds of green stuff
can be had in any quantity.

A few Roman hyacinths have been
brought into town. They will, however,
not be very plentiful this year, as com-
paratively few are being grown. Sev-
eral of the large growers have com-
plained that there is nothing to be made

fall. In the spring they intend putting
up three more houses, all 27x180. They
have 65,000 square feet of glass, the
material all furnished by the John C.
Moninger Co., Chicago. Speaking of the
season's prospect, Mr. Cashman said:
"We are looking for a brisk demand
this winter, as there is plenty of money
in the northwest. Farmers are receiv-
ing big prices for everything raised, and
although tbe crops are not quite as good
as last year, which were record-breakers,
the farmers will receive more money for
what they have and make it up in that
way. When the farmers have money,
good business is assured for everyone
else. ' '

Qub Meetiii£.

The annual election of officers of the
Cleveland Florists' Club resulted as fol-
lows: President, F. C. Bartels; first
vice-president, H. P. Knoble; second
vice-president, F. C. "Witthuhn ; secretary,
Isaac Kennedy; assistant secretary, A.
Hart, Jr.; treasurer, H. A. Hart.

Various Notei.

Chrysanthemums have made their ap-
pearance in this market. F. C. Bartels,
of the Essex Greenhouses, was first in
with October Frost, a grand white, and
the Lamborn Floral Co., with Willow-
brook. Other lines of stock are a little
scarce and the prices are on a steady
rise.

Smith & Fetters have several large
weddings for the first part of this month,
which will help the market for the better
class of stock. The funeral trade was
lively last week and has kept the market
well cleaned.

INDIANAPOLIS.

State Florists' Society.

The regular monthly meeting of the
State Florists' Society was held at the
state house on the evening of October
1. There was a good attendance. The
business of the evening was the holding
of a fall show and it was decided to
hold it in A. Wiegand & Sons' conserva-
tory, the firm giving the use of the
building and decorating it for the oc-
casion. As the show is to be free, the
question of the expense of hiring a hall
for two days was the chief topic, and
after much discussion it was unanimously
decided to accept the offer of A. Wie-
gand & Sons. Their place, being cen-
trally situated among the best flower
buyers, should prove a good attraction.
The money saved in hall rent will be
added to the premiums and will make the
list that much better.

Various Notes.

Frost is holding off well and outdoor
stuff is still plentiful. Eoses and car-
nations are improving in both quantity
and quality.

Baur & Smith had the first chrysan-
themums on the market October 5.

All the seed stores are receiving large
shipments of bulbs for fall trade, which
promises to be extra good this year.

BUFFALO.

TheMaricet.

lu spite of the fact that weather con-
tlitions are not any too favorable, busi-
ness keeps on coming. Naturally, with
increased trade, stock is shorter than
ever. In almost any flower you might
mention there is a marked scarcity, and
as a result prices have gone up, but are
still reasonable.
, Chrysanthemums have filled a big gap,
Init early mums bring a fancy price,
\\hich seems to increase each year. Vio-
lets are increasing in quantity but very
little in quality, being still very small.
One of the florists at Corfu has succeed-
ed in raising some very fine violets in
frames, and, coming such a short dis-
tance, they hold their fragrance, the lack
of which is one of the drawbacks to
Hudson river violets. The latter come
too long a journey to hold their fra-
grance, and half the time 'we arc ac-
cused of selling stale stock.

Early frosts have held oflf this fall,
ana very fortunately, too, for in this
season of the year there is always a
hurry to get outdoor stock, both flower-
ing and bedding.

Various Notes.

A meeting of the Buflialo Florists'
Club was called to discuss plans for the
proposed flower show. The affair is an
idea of a society formed by Buffalo's
moneyed men, who are in love with flow-
ers and have organized a society called
the Buffalo Horticultural Society. The
plans for the affair are not settled for
a certainty, so it will be better to men-
tion particulars later.

Alterations are now completed in W.
J. Palmer's uptown store. The change
luis added very much room, utilizing all
possible space, and, after repainting, the
store is very attractive.

Mr. Graham, of Bradford, is a fre-
quent visitor to Buffalo nowadays, but
for very serioua reasons. For a few
years past he has been troubled with his
eyes, and it has now come to the point
where an operation on his eyes is nec-
essary. We all realize Mr. Graham's
position and wish him success and good
eyesight.

W. A. Adams, an associate of S. A.
Anderson, has entered into politics and
carried away the nomination for super-
visor.

William Scott has improved in health
very much of late and has just returned
from Corfu, where he spent the last
week with his son, David. R. A. S.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

OCTOBEB 10, 1907.

RICHMOND, VA.

The Market Case.

City Attorney Pollard has advised the
council committee on public markets that
it has no right to sell locations in the
street adjoining the market house while
any stall or stand in the market remains
unoccupied.

The complications now existing grew
out of a complaint made some time ago
by another florist against J. D. Hooper.
Both sell in Sixth street near Second
market, li was a custom long observed
that the choice position fell to the ear-
liest dealer to arrive in the morning with
his stock. Finding it inconvenient to
make the race each morning with other
growers who sought the best places, Mr.
Hooper ofifered the markets committee
$50 for the coveted position on the side-
walk and the bid was accepted. His
competitors in the business protested and
the matter was taken up for inquiry by
the committee. The point was raised
that an old ordinance forbids the com-
mittee to sell stands outside the market
house until every stand and stall in the
building is taken.

TTien the committee called on the city
attorney to define their powers. The
opinion of Mr. Pollard, it is said, sus-
tains the objection. It is probable, how-
ever, that the committee will ask the
council to amend the ordinance so as to
give them the right to dispose of side-
walk space adjacent to the market re-
gardless of the vacant stands in tlie
building. There are several undesirable
stands in remote corners of the market
for which it is impossible to get tenants
and under the ordinance these vacancies
prevent the committee from obtaining
good revenue from the sidewalk stands.

Hammond Claims Damages.

W. A. Hammond has commenced pro-
ceedings to set aside the orders entered
in the suit in the circuit court under
which the property of the Brook Turn-
pike Co., for nearly three miles, was
condemned by the Richmond and Chesa-
peake Bay Railway Co., the trolley line
running from this city to Ashland, said
to be owned by the same interests. Mr.
Hammond claims that the landowners
were not properly notified ; that there-
fore their rights and damages have not
been considered; that the condemnation
proceedings were in many other respects
not in accordance with law. He further
contends that he has been largely dam-
aged by the absolute destruction of one
of the finest boulevards in the state, and
that this destruction was entirely unnec-
essary. Other landowners also have been
complaining, but Mr. Hammond is the
first to come into court and ask for a
hearing.

Clarence, N. Y. — E. A. Mucliow has
completed two new greenhouses. He
lias also built a propagating house and
has planted it with carnations and gera-
nium cuttings. He says the aster crop
this year was almost a total failure here,
owing to lack of rain in the summer.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

OCTOIJBR 10, 1907.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

business shows little change from last
week, excepting that a few wedding deco-
rations are on hand and funeral work
has dropped off a little. Many cut
blooms are on the market and little goes
to waste.

Dahlias are a glut, as also are tube-
roses. Cosmos is not up to the usual
supply. Boses and carnations are a little
more regular. Asters have nearly dis-
appeared, but here and there a few can be
seen. Greens of all kinds are enough to
meet the demands.

Our farmers are bringing dahlias in
by the thousands and selling fine blooms
as low as 5 cents a dozen. Cosmos will
soon share the same fate.

Various Note*.

H. C. Caines, of Catonville, Aid., is
growing some extra fine carnations and
roses.

W. Terry, of Owings Mills, brought
the first of his chrysanthemums to town,
the lot consisting of Glory of Pacific and
Polly Rose, and he will have about 1,000
for Home Coming week.

F. Eeitz, of Franklintowu, is erecting
a new house 20x100 feet and building a
new boiler-room 10x18 feet, with con-
crete walls. He will make a general
change of boilers and is also building a
new violet house 200 feet long at his old
home place.

On the night of October 4 Charles
Cook, West Mosher street extended, lost
nearly all the cut flowers that he had
cut for the Saturday market. His horse
was loose in the stable and made for the
feed box, and when through helping him-
self and inspecting the stable he tramp-
led on nearly all the cut flowers, making
t^em unfit for sale.

• J. C. Reinecke, of Catonville, has
changed his rose house into a carnation
house and the .stock is in a fine growing
condition.

L. Struntz, of Westport, will carry on
his business as usual, as the business
that was owned by his mother was bought
by him. Many improvements are under
way at this place. J. L. T.

Paducah, Ky. — Schmaus Bros, have
started on building a new house 42x140.

Grand New
Double Daisy

A sport from that great money-making single
variety, QUSEN ALKZANORA, that every-
body grows to a good profit. You can do better
with this. The flowers are large, averaging
three inches in diameter, and none of the flow-
ers comes single at any time of the year. It
blooms freely, either under glass or outdoors.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

OCTOBEK 10, 1907.

>f-.'^'y

DENVER^

Business has pickedCup quite a little,
although it could yet stand more activ-
ity. There was quite a demand the lat-
ter part of last week and the market de-
veloped a scarcity of all kinds of cut
flowers.

Asters, dahlias, gladioli and other out-
door flowers are practically off the mar-
ket. There were a few asters, but most-
ly inferior stock. Good American Beau-
ties have become scarce and the best
grades have sold at $6 retail. Bride
and Maid ,are not overabundant. Kil-
larney is good, having materially im-
proved with cool weather.

Few carnations are yet being cut.
Chrysanthemums are arriving in limited
quantities and sell according to the size
of the flower, at from $2 to $4 per dozen
wholesale. The largest growers say that
the chrysanthemum crop is about a week
further advanced than last year, the Sep-
tember weather forcing the buds earlier.

Violets are coming in, but are some-
what light in color and the odor some-
what weak. They range in value from
.50 cents to 75 cents per hundred.

Various Notes.

Charles Benson is cutting some fine
carnations for this time of the year.

The name of a new firm starting at
Fort Collins, Colo., is Espelin & War-
reii. Mr. Espelin was with the Park
Floral Co., Denver, Mr. Warren has
been in the seed business at Fort Collins
for some time.

R. S. Mahan, of the Alpha Floral Co.,
spent ten days hunting deer in the North
Park country.

E. E. Petersen died September 28 at
Los Angeles, Cal. His remains were
brought here for burial at Fairmont
cemetery October 2. Mr. Petersen had
been in poor health for some time. He
and his wife went to California some
four months ago. He leaves a widow
and three children. Mr. Petersen was
well known among the local florists, hav-
ing been connected with the trade for
many years. His greenhouses are lo-
cated at 33 South Lowell boulevard.

Greenhonse Heating.

PUT THE SYSTEM RIGHT.

In the work of heatinjj the houses it
is impossible to overestimate the value
of strict attention to detail, and to good
workmanship throughout. An excellent
scheme may be easily spoiled by what
might be considered trifles in the mat-
ter of getting out levels, or through in-
sufficiency of valves, or by the use of
valves of inferior make and pattern.
Things may go right for a time on a
new system of piping, even if the work
is not really well done, but after a
time some little item may go wrong
and throw the whole system into bad
working, and necessitate expensive re-
pairs.

The first consideration in the arrange-
ment of a system of heating should, of
course, be the boiler, and here several
things have to he considered, such as the
kind of fuel which is to be used, the
water with which the boiler has to be
fed, and lastly, the amount of piping
that has to be heated. In connection
with the last-named point, economy at
the outset is likely to lead to extrava-
gance during the whole jieriod of the
existence of the ap])aratus. for a boiler
which is not really well above its work
has to' be fired hard in severe weather;
consequently the wear and tear on boiler
iind grate bars is excessive. Moreover,
the hard stoking consumes an excessive
quantity of fuel. This strain upon the
apparatus and the waste of fuel may
be avoided by having a boiler that lias
a capacity for more piping than is used,
and by using in combination with it
more than the average jiiping in the
houses, says a writer in an English gar-
deners' magazine.

most anything that looks like a flower
finds a ready market. Of course it is
time for the regular fall business to
open, and it is expected that there will
be a good demand, but the fact that
flowers are scarce has helped things
greatly and the price has been boosted
accordingly. The principal demand is
for funeral flowers, white and light col-
ors going best.

cr and grows the finest varieties in the
country. The market is well stocked with
cosmos. Liiies are scarce. Fine lily of
the valley can be had to fill all orders.

The mum is the flower of the greatest
demand now. Everybody wants it and
the few blooms that come in sell at sight
if they have not been ordered in advance.
White and yellow are the colors. There
are few jiink on the market as yet.
Many advance orders have been booked
and it looks as if it will be some weeks
before there will be anything like a sur-
plus. Three dollars per dozen has been
the highest price so far, but some extra
good ones are expected to arrive soon,
which will go higher.

Smilax is in fair supply, but the qual-
ity is not of the best. Asparagus plu-
mosus and A. Sprengeri are equal to
the demand. Hardy ferns are plentiful.

Various Notes.

George E. Tromey, who for many years
was Fred Gear's right-hand man, has
opened a retail store at 923 Vine street
and will do a general retail business.
He had l)is formal opening Saturday and
his store was visited by thousands of
people. With his long experience in the
business, Mr. Tromey ought to be very
successful. He is well known among the
trade and every one wishes him success.

Sunderbruch & Meier are in with a
good crop of roses, and, as this flower is
.scarce, they are hitting the market about
right.

The Oabb & Hunter Floral Co., of
Grand Kapids, Mich., Avas in with the
first mums of the season. This firm is
shipping some very good early ones into
this market, the blooms being handled
by E. G. Gillett.

E. G. Gillett is spending the week in

ana, looking up the prospects for stock
in the near future.

NEV ORLEANS.

Current Cotntaeat.

From what "we have seen among the
chrysanthemum growers, we shall this
year liave a large supply of good flowera
for All Saints ' day. The weather has
been favorable all the way and, outside
of the regular florists, there are some
new special growers. On the Bayou St.
John we found St. Armant and B. Shaky
cultivating large patches of chrysanthe-
mums. On Gentilly road Herman Dasher
has nearly a square of ground of good
flowers. Several other large growers also
are in that neighborhood.

James Newsham is building an ele-
vated tank to give a better supply of
water. His chrysanthemums at the Half-
way are good, but his main crop is at
his nursery uptown, where he grows
them under glass. His orchids are doing
finely. He intends to take a trip to Cen-
tral America. K. Lockerbie has taken
charge of his uptown store, in place of
R. Newsham, who is now at the Metairie
Bidge Nursery.

At the Metairie Ridge Nursery I found
Harry Papworth carting from his field
a large lot of areca palms to be potted
for winter quarters. The constant use
of that stock during the winter for deco-
ration injures the plants and the best
remedy to make them come back green
and healthy seems to be to let them pass
the summer in the open ground. They
are certainly a fine lot of plants, worth
a good deal of mqney. Mr. Papworth is
confronted just now with a problem
which gives him no little trouble. The
water he has been using, from some cli-
matic change or other cause, has become
salty, and he must either bore an artesian
well or dig a canal for fresh water. His
chrysanthemums will be in prime condi-
tion November 1. He is certainly the
largest and the best grower of chrysan-
themums under glass around here. One
house of Adiantum hybriduni and Adi-
antum Farleyense is in a good way to
give an ample supply of nice fronds. A
large plot of ground has been just plowed
for hardy perennials. A fine new wagon,
with plate glass sides, adds to the gen-
eral reputation of the nursery, which is
up-to-date in every detail.

Work on the construction of the new
greenhouse at the city parks is progress-
ing nicely. ;M. M. L.

Sei.ma, Ala. — William Eickenroth,
manager of the Park Floral t"o., has
recovered from a bad attack of malarial
fever.

Pekin, 111. — Geo. A. Kuhl was unable
to make a dispilay at the state fair last
week on account of being busy closing
out his stock of groceries and crockery.
He has disposed of his building ami
stock must all be dispased of by (3ftol)er
15, after which he will devote his entire
time to the florists' line.

FUNERAL VORK.

Trimmiii£ a Guket With Loose Flowers.

Before going into details in regard
to the making of casket covers, I will
suggest and describe a w^y of triinming
a casket that will appeal "to the smaller
pocketbook. The plan I would , suggest
is trimming the casket loosely with
flowers at the funeral house. Select
about six or eight dozen roses, carna-
tions or almost any flower of medium
size, and a suitable green, then take
some green silkaline and some strong
pins and proceed to the funeral house.

First form a garland around the glass
plate with the flowers and green, fasten-
ing these firmly in place with the pins,
which you can stick under the cloth cov-
ering of the casket. Then cover the
lower end of the casket in the same
manner, arranging the flowers as loosely
as possible. To hold them more securely
in place, draw a piece of silkaline across
them about every eight or ten inches,
fastening the silkaline on each side with
a pin. Stick the pin through the cloth,
allowing both the point and head to
show about a quarter of an inch, and
wind the string around this.

In this manner you can trim a cas-
ket nicely for a small sum as compared
with the cost of the regular cover. Of
course, when a customer wants a cover,
do not suggest this substitute unless the
customer is unwilling or unable to pay
for the more expensive work.

Casket G>vers.

Now for a few words about casket
covers, or blankets, as they are often
called. These are made in much the
same way as panels, but of course on a
more elaborate scale. They are made
in various styles and almost any flower
can be used.

Let us first consider the frame or
the body of the cover. For this purpose
wire frames are used by most of the
florists, but a better and less expensive
way is to use cloth or wire netting.

When you desire to make a cover of
a small flower, such as the violet or sweet
pea, you will find that a piece of dark
green doth — denim or overall goods,
as it is commonly called — will work
well.

Before going any farther, it will be
necessary to make, out of some pieces of
wood cut from strips 1x3 inches in thick-
ness, a frame upon which to stretch the
cloth. Leave the latter a little larger
than the desired size of the cover and
fasten it to the frame with a few
tacks. Then place one end of the frame
on the work-bench and the other end on
a high desk-stool or stand, so you can
get underneath with your hands. Have
one of your assistants put the violets
up into little bunches of about ten each,
tying a few violet leaves in with them.
Sew these small bunches to the cloth
with some green string, placing the
little bimches just close enough together
80 that they will cover well. Begin

at the outside and work toward the cen-
ter. No extra green or ferns will be
necessary.

A very fine cover of aU smilax can
be made by fastening the smilax to
some deni;l. In this style of cover
the cloth should hang well over the
sides of the casket. Sew or pin — with
safety-pins — the smilax to the cloth in
the full length of the strings. "Wire
netting is used in the same way, but
usually for larger flowers, such as roses,
carnations, asters, etc. You will find
it handier to fasten the flowers to the
netting with wire instead of sewing,
as in the cloth. For this purpose I
usually bend some 6-inch lengths of No.
24 wire into square-shaped fasteners,
similar to hairpins, but about two inches
wide at the top and square at the cor-
ners. These will enable you to fasten
several flowers at the same time. Always
insert the wire from underneath and tie
at the top, so as not to leave a lot of
ends to catch in everything.

It will be well to lay a few fern
leaves between the fluwers and the net-

30x46 inches you will find will be just
about right for covering the lower end
of a casket.

Of course, if you are planning on
making a cover with galax leaves as
a background, you will have to use a
wire frame, for, as in the panel, you
will need moss to hold the fern-pins
or toothpicks. As the wire frames used
for the covers are usually made to ex-
tend over the edges of the casket, they
are somewhat diflScult to moss. The best
way is to moss the sides first and then
the top.

For large flowers, such as lilies, large
chrysanthemums, etc., it is advisable, in
my estimation, to use a wire frame, as
you may experience trouble in fasten-
ing the flowers tightly on the netting.

It is always advisable to make a
cover in two separate pieces — that is,
when a whole casket is to be covered —
as it is much easier to handle. "When
it is desired to cover a casket down
to the very edge or part-way down the
•sides, in using cloth or netting all you
have to do is to get the piece large
enough. Of course, in a stiff wire frame
it is desirable to have the side and
end pieces separate.

As you go along making up panels
and covers, it is a good plan to keep
exact count of the number of flowers
required for the different sizes of pieces.
In this way you can soon manage to
have a sort of reference list to turn
to when asked the price of these de-
signs. Of course, the quantity of
flowers required depends to a large ex-
<^pnt noon the size and closeness of the

ting. There are several reasons why the
cloth or the wire netting is preferable
to the stiff wire «over. One of these
reasons is the comparative cheapness
of the cloth or netting, and another rea-
son is the flexibility of these materials,
which allows them to conform naturally
with the top of the casket.

In some cases customers have even
asked to have the cover laid crosswise,
thus giving more the effect of a rug
of flowers.

A piece of cloth or netting about

work; nevertheless, it is well to have
records to refer to. Hugo Schroeter.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES.

It must be gratifying to those en-
gaged in the commerce of floriculture to
notice how rapidly flowers are taking
the place not long ago occupied by imita-
tion monstrosities of paper and cotton
fabrics. The better-class hotels, of
course, are often beautifully decorated
with plants and flowers, but during the

FUNERAL WORK.

Trimming a Casket With Loose Flowers.

JJeforc yoinjj into dotails in i^^jrard
to tlie makiiiff of casket covers, J will
suggest and describe a way of trimming
a casket that will appeal to tiie smaller
pocketbook. The plan I would suggest
is trimming the casket loosely with
flowers at the funeral house. Select
about six or eight dozen roses, carna-
tions or almost any flower of medium
size, and a suitable green, then take
some green silkaline and some strong
pins and proceed to the funeral house.

First form a garland arouml tlie glass
plate with the flowers and green, fasten-
ing these firmly in place with the pins,
which you can stick under the cloth cov-
ering of the casket. Then cover the
lower end of tiie casket in tiie same
manner, arranging the flowers as loosely
as possible. To hold them more securely
in place, di'aw a })ie('e of silkaline across
them about every eight or ten inches,
fastening the silkaline on (>acli side with
a pin. Stick the pin through tiie clolii.
allowing both the point and head to
show about a quarter of an incii, and
wind the string aroiuul this.

Jn this manner you can trim a cas-
ket nicely for a small sum as foin[iared
with the cost of tlio regular cover. Of
course, when a customer wants a cover,
do not suggest this substitut<' unless tlie
customer is unwilling or unable to pay
for the more expensive work.

Let lis first consider the t'ranie or

wire frames are used by most of the

florists, but a better .-UhI lis>^ exiie|i'<i\e

way is to use cloth or wire netting.

When you desire to make a eoxer of
a small flower, such as the violet or sweet
pea, you will find that a piece of dark
green cloth — denim or oxerall goods,
as it is eonunonlv < ailed will work
well.

I'.efore going any farther, it will be

necessary.

A very fine cover of ;ill sniilax can
be made by fastening the sniilax to
some denil. In this style of cover
the cloth should hang w<dl over the
sides of the casket. Sew or pin — with
safcty-jiins — the smilax to the cloth in
the full length of the strings. Wire
netting is used in the same way, but
usually for larger flowers, such as roses,
earnations, asters, etc. You will find
it handier to fasten the IIowims to tiie
netting with wire instead of sewing,
as in the (doth. For this jiurpose T
usually bend some 6-inch lengths of Xo.
124 wire into square-shaped fasteners,
similar to hairpins, but about two inches
wide at the toji .and square at the cor-
ners. These will eiialile you to fasten
several flowers at the same time. Always
insert the wire from underneath and tie
at the top. so as not to leave a lot of
<'nds to ciitcli ill everything.

leaves lietwceli ti'e ll-iwels :!inl the iiet-

;U)x4(i iiu-hes ymi will find will be just
about right for covering the lower end
of a casket.

Of course, if you are ]ilanniiig on
iii.aking a coNcr with galax leaves as
a background, you will have to use a
wire frame, for, as in the jianel, you
will need moss to hidd the fern-pins
or toothpicks. .\s 1 lie wire frames used
for the covers an^ usually made to ex-
tend over the edges of the casket, they
are somewhat diflicult to moss. The best
way is to moss the sides first and then
the top.

l"''or large flowers, such as lilies, large
chrysanthemums, etc., it is advisable, in
my estimation, to use a wire frame, as
you niay experience trouble in fasten-
ing the flowers tightly on the netting.

It is always advisable to make a
cover in two separate pieces- that is,
when a whole casket is to be co\ered—-
as it is nuu'h easier to handle. Wiien
it is desired to cover a casket down
to the very e<lge or ]>art-way down the
sides, in using cloth or netting all you
have to do is to get the piec(> large
enough. Of course, in a stiff wire fi-aiiie
it is desirable to have the siile ami
end pieces separate.

As you go along making up panels
and covers, it is a good |daii to keep
exact count of the number of flowers
re(|uired for the different sizes of pieces.

last few years many quite humble estab-
lishments have followed suit. The dusty
imitation plants and the decrepit aspidis-
tras have been consigned to the dustbin,
and neatly arranged vases of the flowers
in season, with azaleas, genistas, deut-
zias, lilacs, roses and chrysanthemums,
show how the taste of the public has im-
proved. Recently we noticed a very
charming arrangement of flowering plants
at the l^se of the columns supporting a
balcony in a west end restaurant, white
chimney campanulas and liliums of the
speciosum group being placed alternately,
the pots being hidden by spreading
plants of Spiraea Japonica. ^The captious
critic may feel tempted to say that it
is merely a matter of fashion, but it
is impossible to believe that we can ever
return to the days of paper flowers and

to think that we shall ever again fill our
empty fireplaces with the paper shaving
abominations of thirty years ago. — Gar-

RETAILERS' ADVERTISING.

Every now and then a retail florist
feels called upon to keep up an adver-
tising contract when he really has noth-
ing to say. To such a suggestion as to
how the space may be filled to some ad-
vantage will be welcome. The accom-
panying illustration of an advertisement
shows one used by Dobbs & Son, of Au-
burn, N. Y. There is good talk in this

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

A glance about The Sign of the Rose,
the unique flower shop of Oharlts Henry
Fox, makes the visitor feel that he is in
London rather than in Philadelphia. The
rich, old-fashioned furniture, the wain-
scoting, the old English clock, the open
fireplace and the general absence of
obtrusive business signs are all most
pleasing to the fastidious flower lover.
Mr, Fox's aim has been to create a
quiet, restful atmosphere, wliere his own
and his patrons' artistic ideas of flower
and plant combinations should not be
interfered with by the rush of American
business life. The accompanying illus-
tration shows one . corner of the main
salesroom as it appeared last Easter, and
affords a glimpse into the inner room,
where the fittings and decorations are of
the same type. On the left is the open
fireplace, an indispensable feature of
substantial English architecture. The
carved mantel over this fireplace has a
bit of history attached to it that is of
more than ordinary interest. When the
old Lippincott mansion, at the neighbor-
ing corner of Broad and Walnut streets,
was sold to make room for modern im-
provements, Mr. pox bought the first
selection of the Lippincott elm. The tree
had been a landmark to Philadelphians
for several generations. This piece of
wood from the elm forms the mantel
over the open fireplace in The Sign of
the Rose. All the furniture of the shop.

WINTERING FUCHSIAS.

I have a number of fuchsias left over
from last spring. Would they remain in
good condition if kept in a cellar over
winter in a dormant or semi-dormant
state? ; •

The fuchsias should winter nicely in a
cellar if kept on the dry side and just
clear of freezing. Keep them in a cool
and light position and water just suf-
ficiently to keep the wood plump. A
warm cellar and much moisture at the
root would cause the plants to make
weak, spindling shoots and would spoil
them. C. W.

GROWING OF CUT FLOWERS,

[A paper by F. R. Plerson, of Tarrytown,
N. Y., read before the Congress of Horticul-
ture at the Jamestown exposition, September 23,
1907, continued from the Review of October 3.1

Improvement in Greenhouses.

In .■the character of the greenhouses
devoted to the cultivation of cut flowers
there has been a wonderful advancement
in the last twenty-five years. Twenty-
five years ago 11-foot houses were in the
majority. Then came houses eighteen
to twenty feet in width, and when, fif-
teen years ago, we built a range of four
iron houses, each 20x300 feet, it was con-
sidered a model range, being much in
advance of anything that had been built
up to that time; but during the last five
years especially, there has been a marked
increase in the size of the houses erect-
ed, and today we believe that the best
house that can be built is one ranging
anywhere from fifty to sixty feet in
width. We are now building houses
fifty-six feet in width, running east and
west, in which we use 16x24 glass and
reinforced concrete sides, and we believe
that houses of this kind are the most
economical in construction and operation.
While houses fifty-six feet in width are
seldom seen today, I do not believe that
the limit of size has been reached, by
any means, and I believe that the ten-
dency will be toward still wider houses.

Styles of Construction.

Large ranges have been built of the
narrower ridge and furrow connected
houses, in an effort to obtain large areas
under one roof, but we do not consider
this style of construction as advan-
tageous as the large, separate, wide
houses. Ten years ago no one had any
idea that such houses as are being built
today were even practicable! Today the
tendency is to gather under one roof
more area than ten years ago would have
comprised an entire establishment. The
reason for this is the tendency toward
specialization and the growing of one or
two varieties of flowers by different
growers, one grower devoting his atten-
tion to one variety of roses, such as
American Beauty, one concern alone
growing as many as a hundred thousand
of this variety. .The same thing applies
to carnations, some concerns grow-
ing between one and two hundred thou-
sand carnations alone; and, of course,
with the' increased quantities of one va-
riety, much larger houses have become a
necessity.

The tendency here in greenhouse con-
struction is to increase the size of the
house and the size of the glass, and, by
the use of steel rafters, to eliminate as
much woodwork as possible in order to
get the maximum amount of sunlight,
thus enabling tlie grower to produce the
largest number of flowers during the

short midwinter clays when flowers bring
the highest prices.

Cost of Production.

Today flowers are no longer considered
a luxury, but rather a necessity. In
this connection, we might say that few
people realize what it costs to produce
the finest flowers, especially during the
short midwinter days. In fact, I be-
lieve that in midwinter, when flowers
seem to bring phenomenal prices, they
are actually produced at a loss, when
one takes into consideration the capital
invested, the fuel consumed, and the
labor involved. Even with the prohib-
itive prices at the holidays, I doubt
whether they return the grower an ade-
quate recompense for the capital in-
vested. Even in California, that land
of flowers and sunshine, where nature is
so kind, it is necessary to grow flowers
of good quality under glass, so that
there, where one would naturally expect
that flowers would have little or no
value, it costs considerable to produce
flowers of high quality. In the east, dur-
ing midwinter, when there is little or
no sunshine and when the amount of
fuel required is enormous, the cost of
production is much greater.

Looking back at the progress that has
been made during the last twenty-five
years, and the improvements that have
been made even during the last five
years, one wonders what the next twen-
ty-five years have in store for us. Cer-
tainly, the end is not yet, for we have
reason to expect as much advancement
in the future as has occurred in the last

quarter of a century. Twenty-five years
ago, anyone could have gone into the
florists' business with little or no cap-
ital, and if careful and industrious, fail-
ure could hardly result; but today, with
the large amount of capital invested in
large establishments and the consequent
ability to produce flowers more cheaply,
larger capital is required, and first-class,
up-to-date business methods must be
practiced. A man cannot hope to suc-
ceed under the conditions that exist to-
day as he would have been able to suc-
ceed in the earlier days of the busi-
ness; in fact, the florists' business, as
it is conducted now in the larger estab-
lishments, is fast assuming the propor-
tions of a flower factory, and the same
up-to-date business methods will have to
be observed as in any other manufactur-
ing business, to insure success.

Selection of Proper Location.

In the future, the man who will make
the most marked success is the man who
is located in the right place; that is to
say, where labor is plentiful, where he
can obtain a supply of coal at the least
possible expense — preferably near a
large city, where the shipping facilities
are quick and frequent — where an abun-
dant supply of water is to be had, and
where the soil is first-class. One of the
most important considerations is the se-
lection of a proper location-. Heretofore
most greenhouse establishments have
been located without much reference to
this, as they have been developed from
small beginnings; but the proper loca-
tion is a large element to be taken into

consideration if one would be successful.
I believe that today America leads the
world in the production of fine cut
flowers, and, while we have many large
establishments that we may well be
proud of, I believe that the business is
only in its infancy, and that we may
expect to see marvelous progress in the
future.

TREATMENT OF DENDEOBIUMS.

My plants of Dendrobium nobile and
D. Wardianum giganteum have finished
growth. Please advise me as to the
treatment from now on. What tempera-
ture do they require and what amount
of water? Morris.

Bemove the dendrobiums into a some-
what cooler house, where they can get
more sunshine. A temperature of 55 de-
grees at night will be ample. This can
be reduced a few degrees later. Keep
much drier at the root, but spray the
plants overhead on bright days and water
just sufficiently to keep the pseudobulbs
plump. Keep the plants in a dry house
until the flower nodes appear, after
which they can be placed in a warmer
and moister house, but must not be al-
lowed much water at the root or many
of the nodes on Dendrobium nobile may
produce growths instead of flowers.
When you can actually see flower buds,
water more freely. G. W.

CARNATION NOTBS.-EAST.

Kerpins; Qualiticf . : ^

It is not enough that ■we grow car- '
nations each year equal to those pro-
duced the previous year; there must be
an advance in some direction, but rec-
ollect that size is only one quality of a
carnation bloom.

Better that a flower be of medium
diameter and possess lasting qualities
than that it be extra large but sleepy
on short acquaintance. You may per-
haps recall instances when at exhibitions
the winner- of some much-coveted prize
kept awake only long enough for the
judges to go around. Whether this is or
is not all right on such occasions, is not
the question at this time, but any one
will agree that the flower-buying public
is not eager for that class of stock.

Sleepiness may be traced to several
causes, the most prevalent being over-
development, he&vy feeding or unwise
use of fertilizing chemicals, improper
treatment after cutting and rough han-
dling.

Overdevelopment can easily be guard-
ed against by cutting the blooms when
about three-quarters out, allowing them
to finish in water and to reach the buyer
in the best condition. The sooner they
are in his hands after twelve hours of
standing in water the better.

Treatment Before Cuttiog.

Heavy feeding is very often the out-
come of a desire to increase the size of
bloom on a batch of plants which have-
been giving small, inferior flowers. This

behavior is very likely due to an excess
of nitrogen ih the soil, causing a strong
growth of plant at the expense of bloom.
In such- casS it is obviously wrong treat-
ment to apply either strong liquid ma-
nure or a solution of nitrate of soda.
The need is for either potash or phos-
phoric acid or both, and while these can
be supplied in chemical form, there is
more or less danger connected with their
use.

The only time I would advise the em-
ployment of chemical fertilizers in the
bench is near the close of the season,
and then merely as an experiment. Un-
^p leached hardwood ashes furnish potash
in a most desirable form and also con-
tain lime, which is beneficial. Bone
meal of a reliable brand carries a fair
percentage of phosphoric acid, besides
being a slow-consuming natural plant
food. Use these as alternate top dress-
ings at intervals of ten days or two
weeks, as circumstances require.

Treatment After Cutting.

As soon as severed from the plant, a
flower can no longer receive moisture
from the soil and therefore must de-
pend upon an artificial supply carried
to it through its stem, but if this be
exposed to the air long enough for the
sap exuding from the cut end to evapo-
rate or dry, its system of water pipes
becomes clogged, with the result that
the bloom suffers.

Get the stems into water "directly if
not sooner" after cutting, and provide
vases deep enough so that the stems
may be immersed two-thirds their
length. When cutting, it is a good plan
to remove the two lower sets of leav&s.
Place the vases of bloom out of drafts,

in a temperature about equ^I to that
where grown, and allow the temperature,
to fall gradually eight or ten degrees.
Handled thus, stock is in prime condi-
tion after twelve hours to ship or fill re-
tail orders.

The rough handling to which stock is
subjected cannot all be charged to the
express" companies. Allowing that they
do their share, much carelessness is dis-
played in packing, and who has not seen
boxes of flowers thrown into the delivery
wagon on end, side, .top or bottom — it
mattered not which to the driver? It is
up to you to stop it.

CARNATION NOTES.- WEST.

'' Autumn Temperatufc*' !

Up to this date, October 14, we have
had no frost severe enough to kill vege-
tation outside, and to those who grow
,only low temperature stock this mild
weather must have been a great tempta-
tion to put off firing until colder weathef
sets in. While we have had no nights
cold enough to do actual damage to the
plants in the houses, yet it is a mistake
to delay putting on the night man and
starting up the fires until everything is
actually frozen up. The plants should
be making rapid strides now, and they
cannot do so unless the temperature is
kept at a proper level.

We have heard it argued that during
a bright, warm day the sun warms up
the soil and the boards, etc., that these
in turn will throw off warmth most of
the night and that the houses will be
low only a few hours. That is a mis-
taken idea. If the day has been warm,
in fact warm enough to cause flagging,
it is a mistake to allow the temperature
at night to drop below the ideal grow-
ing temperature.. The combination of
two extremes does not produce an ideal
condition, by any means. The plants will
freshen up in a temperature of 40 de-
grees, but that does not necessarily mean
that they have recovered from the ef-
fects of the flagging of the previous
dav.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

One of the Rice & Co. Wedding Outfit.

It would be fair better, after a warm
day, to hold the temperature most of the
night a couple of degrees above the nor-
mal night temperature. It is only by
making progress that the plants will
really overcome the effects of flagging or
any other check. After such a day the
ventilators should not be closed down
tight until the temperature is down to
normal, with a steam pipe running. Our
method is to lower the ventilators to
about two inches. Then, if necessary, we
turn on one steam pipe in a house of
medium width. If the temperature out-
side drops 80 low that one pipe will not
hold the temperature up to the mark,
we close the ventilators down tight and
after that turn on more pipes, as may
be needed. It is good policy to run a
crack of air on the houses whenever
possible, but it would be folly and a
waste of fuel to run several pipes in a
house and keep the ventilators up.

If the temperature outside hovers
around 48 to 50 degrees and you need
no steam to keep the houses up, it is a
good plan to run the steam around a
couple of times during the night anyway.
It will keep the air moving and prevent
the dampness from settling down on the
plants. A. F. J. Baur.

CAMELLIAS.

Camellias, at one time universal favor-
ites, are but little seen in the markets
today. We are pleased, nevertheless, to
find an increasing call for them at the
better class of stores. Plants carry-
ing a few flowers make exceedingly use-
ful stock for Christmas trade, and we
expect to see a very large demand for
them the coming winter.

The treatment recommended for azaleas
will suit camellias well, but they seem
to prefer heavier compost, and the addi-
tion of a little well decayed manure
■will prove beneficial. Camellias will not

stand forcing like azaleas. Such treat-
ment will cause a loss of flower buds.
A sufficiently high temperature is 50
degrees at night and they will winter
in one 10 degrees lower. When making
their growth they enjoy frequent syring-
ings anu a warm, moist atmosphere.

THE WEDDING OUTFITS.

The photographs reproduced on this
and the opposite page show the great
progress that has been made in up-to-
date accessories for the decorator, in re-
producing almost any effect desired in
enameled wicker or willow ware. These
wedding outfits, which are made in sev-
eral styles, are made by M, Rice & Co.,
Philadelphia, who have the reputation of
producing 'some of the most practical and
original ideas in the florists ' supply busi-
ness.

To give an idea of the size of these
wedding outfits, the following dimensions
are given: Height of large posts with
globes, nine and one-half feet; height
of gate posts, four feet, without the
vases; width of the entire wedding gates
and posies complete, about eighteen feet.
;The set is so constructed that it can
be readily taken apart in sections, and
used in many different combinations.
Where space is limited the 4-foot posts
and gates can be used, producing a pleas-
ing effect for a house wedding, as shown
in the illustration in which the kneeling
stool is shown. The outfits are made
both solid and open, and the sections are
interchangeable, so that a decorator who
possesses two outfits can create with them
a sufficient number of combinations so
that it has the value of a new set for
every decoration. Electric lights can be
iised in the globes on top of the posts,
if desired. The globes and vases are
detachable and can be lifted off and
plants or flowers used in their place.

Rice & Co. state that the first of these

outfits made, the ones illustrated, were
turned out to order for a leading retail
florist.

HARDY AQUATICS.

What do you consider the best aquatic
plants for our short seasons in North
Dakota? I want to use something of
that sort in my park work next year.
C. E. M.

There are quite a few aquatics which
will succeed well in North Dakota, and
which would form attractive features in
private gardens or public parks. A few
reliable and easily cultivated sorts are:
Nymphsea alba, European water lily;
N. Marliacea, in pink, yellow, rose and
white colors; N. odorata, fragrant pond
lily, in variety; N. tuberosa rosea, pink;
N. Laydekeri, in several colors. Ne-
lumbium speciosum, or Egyptian lotus,
with magnificent flowers and superb
foliage, is worthy of a trial. It is per-
fectly hardy, as are other members of
the lotus family.

There are many other aquatics suit-
able to use on the edges of ponds in
which yon may be growing water lilies.
A few easily grown sorts are: Myrio-
phyllum proserpinacoides, parrot 's
feather; Limnocharis Humboldtii, water
poppy ; Caltha palustris, marsh marigold ;
Peltandra Virginica, water arum ; Ponte-
deria cordata, pickerel weed; Sagittaria
MonfeAHdensis, giant arrow-head; Lim-
nanthemum Indicum, snowflake; Jussieua
longifolia, and others. All these will be
found of easy culture, but do not mix
them indiscriminately among the
nympha^as. Keep them near the edges
of the ponds. c. W.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

OCTOBEB 17, 1907.'

OCTOBER FROST.

This has been another excellent season
for the growers of early chrysanthe-
mums, the first earlies realizing as good
prices in practically every market as
they ever did. The season of maximum
prices for the earliest varieties was not
quite so long as last year, for the second
early sorts came along quicker than they
did a year ago, when the way they hung
back was a great disappointment t© those
who did not have stocks of the earliest
kinds.

This year, as for the two preceding
seasons, MoiproA^a has been the leading
early sort, for yellow sells better than
any other color. But October Frost, for
white, has proved a fit companion. This
was the first year it has been grown in
any quantity and by a large number
of growers. While there have been some
failures with it, due to the selfefction of
the wrong bud, still the average grower
has had excellent success with it and has
had it early and in shape to bring ex-
cellent prices. These ttva early sorts,
Monrovia and October Frost, have proved
especially valuable to the vegetable grow-
ers who use mums for a fall crop, as
they had these varieties cut before the
middle of October and the space avail-
able for other crops. Elmer D. Smith,
of Adrian, Mich., with whom the Octo-
ber Frost mum originated, says that in
taking the bud it is a decided advantage
to secure the early one, as the flowers
from such are much larger and more
double than from the later buds.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Shading the Blooms.

There appears to be in some quarters
a prejudice against shading the opening
blooms, but why I cannot say. Blooms
grown naturally, that is, not fed to any
extent and running several blooms to a
plant, need no shading, because they are
harder grown and the small flowers have
no superabundance of petals to lie on
each other and rot. But plants
that have been heavily fed have
large and comparatively soft petals
and must be protected from the sun, at
least in New Jersey if not in other sec-
tions of the country. It will be observed
that in spite of all one can do to keep
the atmosphere dry and moving, some
moisture will settle on the petals. When
the 5jin comes up strong early in the
morning and hits these flowers, moisture
laden as they are, damping of the petals
is inevitable.

For a little while papers or cheesecloth
spread over the kinds that are just open-
ing will be all right, but as soon as
everything shows color I always spray
the whole roof with lime or whiting and
am not bothered much with petals damp-
ing afterwards. Growers along the coast
line are bothered a great deal more with
damping than those in the interior, be-
caues the sea fogs that occur night after
night leave the flowers dripping with
water. The present season, so far, hap-
pily has been free from heavy fog, but

I have seen in some years a loss equal
to fifty per cent from the fogs alone.
We may, as some experts claim, have the
advantage of the moist atmosphere in
the summer, but we certainly are handi-
capped late in October by that selfsame
moist atmosphere.

.Cutting the Blooms.

There is s^omething to learn in cut-
ting chrysanthemum flo;»fers, as there is
in cutting any flowers io have them just
right. We are none onus proof against,
temptation when the 'first flowers are
coming in and the market will take the
flowers at a good price, .whether they are
finished or not, but from now on the
market is well supplied and flowers

Chrysanthemum October Frost.

should be left to finish on the plant.
When the center of the fiower is still
hard and green, let the flower stay till
the color is even all through.

If the stem happens to be cut at a
joint, where the wood is hard, it is often
difficult to get the water up the stem.
Make a second cut before putting the
stems in water and also see that the jar
is deep enough so that the stems will be
held erect to take the water right up to

the flower. A stem bent over cannot
take up the water and the flower will of
necessity wilt. Such kinds as Merza, that
make a very hard stem at the bottom,
should be cut sufficiently high so that
the water will have a chance to get up
the stem.

If the flowers are to travel any dis-
tance they should have twenty-four
hours in water, so that, they will start
on their journey with the stems full of
water,

Packing.

In packing flowers some care should be
exercised, so that the product of the
labor of months shall not be rendered
unsalable. Some exhibitors send their
flowers out in high boxes with the flow-
ers erect and tied to wires. Such a
system is too cumbersome and expensive
for commercial uSe. Make pillows of
excelsior covered with paper and have a
pillow under the neck of each row of
flowers and lay the flowers down. If a
little tissue paper is used between ekch
flower it will prevent rubbing and if
slats are nailed across the stems to keep
them from threshing around, a box so
packed can travel in fairly good shape. '

If, as sometimes happens, the box falls
into the hands of a fiend in the guise
of an expressman who plays ping-pong
with it, and tries how many times he can
turn it over in a given time, no sys-
tem of packing can stand it. There is
a special corner reserved for that kind
of expressman in Carmody's health re-;;
sort. Charles H. Totty.

SPLITTING OF DUCKHAM BUDS.

Flease let me know what is the cause
of William Duckham chrysanthemums
splitting at the bud. Is there any way
to prevent itf Will the buds which are
now split amount to anything?"

Morris.

, If Morris will look up the notes on
feeding in the Review of October 3,
page 8, he will see why his Duckhams
split at the bud. It is due to an ex-
cess of sap pumped up to the flower.
When the bud is small it cannot take all
the sap, and trouble ensues. The buds
will finish satisfactorily and the petals
will drop down enough to hide the dis-
figuring cut in the stem. Here and
there a bud will be bent over and use-
less, but most of them will develop flow-
ers. The finest flowers I have seen ex-
hibited were some of them hanging by
almost a thread. Charles H. Totty.

MORE AIR WANTED.

I enclose, some leaves of the Bride
rose and would like to know if the yel-
lowed condition is caused by too frequent
fumigating with sulphur on the pipes, or
•if it is the result of too much water. It
has notw been at all serious, but the
trouble is growing worse and the leaves
finally drop off the plants. J. F. D.

The apparent cause of these bushes
dropping their leaves, irom the indica-
tions furnished, is want of veutilation.
There is no sign of their suffering from
overwatering, or the reverse, to cause
such an effect. The texture of the leaves
shows that the atmosphere has been too
close.

Extra strong fumigating has a very
bad effect on rose foliage and should al-
ways be avoided. Fumigate periodically,
say once a week, and if this is persisted
in a light fumigation will suffice.

Keep on plenty of air both night and
day, even at the expense of firing, and
be careful in watering for some time,
till the plants have got over the period
when nature calls for a rest. Bibes.

ROSE DOROTHY PERKINS.

Among rambler roses Dorothy Perkins
is one of the best for clothing a fence,
wall or unsightly object, says . a writer
in the Gardeners' Chronicle. "As with
climbing roses in general, plants under
three years old transplant more sucess-
fully than older plants and are capable
of making a good display in less time^
The plants should be obtained in Octo-
ber, or early in the following month. As
it is always advisable to trench the soil
for roses and allow time- afterwards for
the settling of the soil before planting is
commenced, the work of trenching should
be undertaken in September. If the
trenching is three spits in depth, place
about four inches of fich manure, not
greatly decayed, two spits deep, say eight-
een inches, and if the trenching should
only permit of two spits being taken out,
put the manure at the bottom after loosen-
ing the base with a digging fork or mat-
tock. A small quantity of weak nianure
should be mixed with the top spit in
each case. See that the roses, when they
come to hand, do not suffer from dry-
ness at the root, and after cutting back
the strongest roots a little, dip all the
roots into a puddle of clayj|pd water,
adding a little cow dung if this is procur-
able. In planting a rose tree spread out
the roots in all directions and cover them
with some of the finer soil; partially fill
in and make firm with the feet, then com-

plete the filling in and again make the
soil firm. In planting these climbers and
any roses that are not growing on their
own roots, bury the point of union of
rose and stock t^o inches deep, and
those on their own roots a little deeper
than when they were growing in the nur-
sery. If the soil be dry at the time of
planting, afford the plants a good soak-
ing with clear water; and before hard
weather sets in, apply a strawy mulch over
the roots. Cut back the plants to five or
six inches in the following April and en-
courage growth in after years as much
as possible.

POOR VENTILATION.

We have a number of plants going off
as if. of low vitality. They don't bloom
much and many shoots die iat the top
and wither. The roses were planted in
May in new soil, one-fourth cow manure
in the soil. Can you tell us what the
trouble is? J, C. F. C.

From a careful examination of the
specimen sent it appears as if the at-
mosphere in which it was grown must
have been close and damp, as the plant
is suffering from the disease kpown as

anthracnose. Although this condition
may not be the cause of the disease, it
certainly fosters it, and so long as the
condition exists there is no chance for
recovery.

Keep the house at night at a tempera-
ture of 56 to 58 degrees, with ample ven-
tilation, allowing it to run up to 85
degrees during bright sunshine, but with
plenty of air on.

At this season great and extra care is
required in gauging the supply of water,
as the plants are not able to use much
by reason of the sluggishness of root ac-
tion and the decrease in evaporation. The
soil is not of a really good quality for
roses, being deficient in fiber and clay
and. possessing few of the constituents
required by roses. Bibes.

WINTERING WATER HYACINTHS

I would like to know how I can carry
through our North Dakota winter a lot
of water hyacinths which I have had
growing in a small fountain all summer.
They have not bloomed, but have grown,
finely. Is there any way in which I can
keep them over winter and have them in
shape to put out in the spring?

C. E. M.

The water hyacinths, or eichhbrnias,
can be carried over winter successfully
in tubs of water, in which they may be
stood quite thickly in a moderately warm
greenhouse. If you have a tank which
gets good light, they will do well in it.
Both Eiehhomia speciosa and E. azurea
(lavender blue) increase in size rapidly,
a small plant often growing several feet
across' in a season. As is well known,
these pretty aquatics have proved a ter-
rible pest in Florida waterways, where
they seriously impede traffic, and large
sums are b^ng spent to keep them with-
in bounds. - C. W.

Canoas.

Frosts now will have cut cannas down
in most localities, unless it may be in
some of the warmer-,and more southerly
states. Cut the tops off a few inches
above the ground and allow them to"
stand a few days before lifting. The
stems will bleed considerably where they
are cut off, and it is not good policy to
dig the roots until they have dried. Let
the roots stand in the sun a few hours
to dry out somewhat. Do not shake too
much soil away. They will keep all the
better with a fair amount of loam at-
tached. Some growers place them under
the benches in a cool greenhouse. The
water dripping on them may create mold
in the winter months and start prema-
ture growth if the house is warmer.
Shelves in a shed or cellar are excellent
storing places, a temperature of 40 to
45 degrees being ample, indeed, being
preferable to one 10 degrees higher. Be
sure the labels are tied securely to each
plant if you grow a number of sorts, for
a mixture spoils your bedding.

Dahlia*. \ -

The first breath of frost blackens the
dahlias, most gorgeous and increasingly \
popular of late summer flo.wers. Do not \
be in too great a hurry d-bout cutting
them down. It is a great mistake to
hoe off the tops level with the ground
as soon as frost has struck them. Far
better Jet them stand a few days and
allow the stems to dry up before doing
so. Do not cut down nearer than six
inches of the ground. Shake away all
soil from the tubers and let them dry
well in the sun before storing them. A
cellar or shed where potatoes will keep
well is ideal for dahlias. They must
be quite dry at the root. Any moisture
is ruinous. They are also better in an
unheated cellar. The tubers will shrivel
badly in a furnace-heated cellar. Bet-
ter have them in one which occasionally
goes below freezing. If the roots are
stored in boxes or barrels of dry sand,
sawdust, refuse hemp seed, dry earth or
any similar material they will take no
harm.

Gladioli. '

"While the lifting of gladioli is less ur-
gent than that of dahlias and cannaa,
it should be attended to sometime in
October. Gladioli, like montbretias, will
winter with a little winter covering and
are not by any means tender bulbs. They
are, however, better lifted and replanted
yearly. If they can be dug and left on
the surface of the ground to dry a few
days, all the better. In a treacherous
climate, this is hardly possible, but if
laid on boards in a sunny spot and some
awning or other covering placed over
them on cold nights, they will soon dry
and ripen sufficiently to allow of the
stems being cut off a few inches above
the bulb. It is unwise to cut the stems
down too far while green. Shelves in a
cool shed or cellar make excellent storage
places. Where many are grown it is cus-
tomary to stack them in shallow crates.
If you wish to increase your stock of
any particular varieties, save all the lit-
tle bulbs or corms and plant next sea-
son. These will bloom usually in a couple
of years.

Caladium Esculentum.

If you only grow a limited quantity of
Caladium esculentum it is far the better
plan to buy a few tubers at some seed
store each spring. If, however, you de-
sire to keep some roots, lift as advised
for dahlias and dry well in the sun, pack
the tubers in perfectly dry sand in a
temperature of 50 to 55 degrees and they
will come through all right.

LemoDHceoted Verbena*

Perhaps you have an all-sufficient stock
of lemon-scented verbena. If not, it will
pay you to lift a few old roots. Never
mind if they have had a little frost.
Pack them quite thickly in boxes of earth
and store in a cool house, where they are
just clear of freezing. Keep fairly dry
all winter and in early spring put them
in a warm, moist house. They will soon
give you a fine crop of cuttings, which
will root readily if rubbed off with a
heel.

Hydraogeas.

It was remarked in recent notes that
hydrangeas should be kept somewhat on
the dry side to assist in ripening the
wood and that a little frost would bo
beneficial. We all have seen painful ef-
fects of October frosts on plants with
green foliage and soft, sappy wood.

While a temperature of 28 or 30 degrees
would do no harm, if the temperature
should suddenly drop to 20 degrees, as
sometimes happens, probabilities are that
any plants not well ripened would have
their flower buds all killed. Better be
on the safe side and if your plants are
still outdoors giet them together in a
batch and be prepared to throw some
covering over them on frosty nights.

Hardy Perennials.

Much outdoor work now demands at-
tention. Many of our customers, having
had their tender bedding plants cut down,
are clamoring to have the beds filled
with bulbs. There is no immediate hurry
for this work, for the bulbs are just as
well off if not planted until the last of
the month. More and more small grow-
ers are planting collections of peonies,
phloxes, larkspurs and other hardy her-
baceous perennials. There could be no
better time than the present to do any
replanting of these, either for yourself
or your customers. The average retail
florist does not half appreciate the value
of these plants. By planting a bed or
row of a few of the more useful sorts
he can depend on a good supply of flow-
ers from May until October. In re-
planting be sure to give the stock well
spaded and enriched ground and plant
firmly. A winter mulch of some sort is
also advantageous to this class of plants.

Trees and Shrubs.

A great amount of planting of trees
and shrubs which is usually crowded into
the strenuous spring months would be
better done during the latter half of
October and first half of November.
There are many advantages in planting
at this season. The ground is more
moist than in the spring, the sun less
powerful and roots less likely to become
dried up. Shrubs moved at this season
make a much better start in spring than
those replanted at that time. All fruit
trees, except peaches, are better planted
in the fall even in a northern state, pro-
vided they are planted firmly and suf-
ficiently early to allow the roots to make
a little start before the ground is sealed
by frost. The same applies to about all
deciduous trees and most of the shrubs.
Some subjects, like Viburnum plicatum,
the Japanese snowball, afe better spring
planted, but as a rule better results may
be had by doing more of this work now
and less in the spring. Nurserymen can

more readily make delivery now and you
are more likely to get just what you
want than in the overwhelmingly busy
spring season.

Brief Reminders.

Do not give mignonette too much fire
heat; 40 to 45 degrees at night is am-
ple. Attend to disbudding and give a
little weak liquid , stimulant where plants
are coming into flower.

As your early mums are cut be sure
to reserve an ample supply of stock
plants of the best sorts. Throw away
any kinds which do not do well with you.
It is a mistake to grow too many va-
rieties.

Do not forget the shading for the
mums. We get very hot days in October
and if petals are damp in the early part
of the day through false economy in
withholding - fi*e heat, scalding will re-
sult whfen tne sun strikes them.

Cinerarias are now growing rapidly.
Look out for aphis among them. Keep
renewing the tobacco stems among them.

Sow candytuft or sweet alyssum on
the edges of any beds where there is a
chance for them to flower, or give a
separate piece of bench to them in a
cool house.

Wash some of the heavy shading from
palms and other foliage plants. Do not
remove it entirely, for the sun will still
be too strong for many of them.

Have protecting material in readiness
for coldframes and if breakages in glass
are not repaired, attend to them at once.
Let the greenhouses have an overhauling
at the same time to make them tight.

Current Comment.

Everybotly reports business to be rush-
ing, with all kinds of orders. Flowers
are niucli better in quality and quantity,
though carnations are not yet at their
best. Mums are in all the stores,
though they are expensive as yet. Violets
and valley are seen in large quantities
and one sees occasionally some splendid
orchids.

Tlie weatlK^r has been very disagree-
able, rain nearly all the time and a few
hail storms. We have had some sharp
frost an<l all outdoor plants and fiowers
are now things of the past.

Campbell's are having their large store
thoroughly cleaned and rearranged, white
being used for the woodwork, etc. It
promises to be one of the handsonu'st
stores in Montreal. They have had a few-
large orders for balls and dinners and
can boast of having some of the finest
mums in town.

Miss Murray has had one of her win-
dows beautifidly decorated with violets
and valley, with a background of ferns,
while another window showed huge
bunches of American Heauties.

Miss Carniichael 's little store looks
fine this week. She has a large number
of good forns and palms and reports
busini'ss to l)e verj- good.

E. (Jurnaey has opened a wholesale
store near tlie Grand Trunk station.

We regret to report the sad bereave-
ment which befell F. ('. Smith, gardener
to Sir William Van Home, October 11
by the death of his wife. Besides three
little girls, she leaves three sisters, one
of whom is Mrs. J. Bennett.
^ Miss L. S. Bennett has returned from
England after an absence of si.xteen
months. She will enter her father's
business in thf near future.

We .extend our congratulations to
Alex Lee, gardener to T. Dawes, on his
recent marriage. The happy couple have
settled in Lachine for the winter.

REMEDY FOR SPOT.

Can you tell us if there is any remedy
for the spot on violets? We planted
them in August, in benches, and they did
well at first, but now some plants are
leafless. We inclose some leaves. The
violets were shij)ped from ilichigan. The
varieties are Imperial, Marie Louise,
Lad}' Campbell, Dorsett and Princess of
Wales. The first ones got tlic spot badlv.

E. B.'

Well, the spot is not a pleasant thing
to be up against and E. B. has my
sympathy, but I judge by the sample
sent arid the query that there is no hope
of any profit and, a.s a nile, the best
thing one can do is to pull and burn all
the plants, leaves, etc., in the boiler,
sweeten up the house and use it for some
other crop. However, if you wish to take
the time and trouble to see if you can
overcome the disease, you will have to
pick off and burn every sign of spot.
Then the first clear morning, when the
plants can dry off quickly, take the hose
and wash each plant off thoroughly with

a fairly ^strong stream, as .strong as you
can use without injuring the plants.
Scatter air-slaked lime between the plants
and work it lightly into the soil. Give
all the air and light possible. Watch
closely, and remove and l)uru daily all
signs of spot and you nuiy be able to
carry part o'^ the plants through, al-
though I very much doubt if you can
get any profit from the iiouse. Where
you have to remove all tlie leaves, you
might as well pull the jilants first as
last, unless they were in a very tlirifty,
growing condition. I wonder if j'ou did
not have your hou.s.e too close, damp and
untidy and then fumigated heavily with
tobacco stems. This will often cause
spot. R. E. Shuimielt.

ed to growing roses, carnations, palms,
ferns, etc.. with six acres of nursery
grounds. Mr. Curran does a wholesale
and retail trade, shipping to Richmond,
Philadelphia, Washington and intermedi-
ate points. He also does a retail seed
trade. He reports roses as doiui; remark-
ably well, the young stock jiroducing a
fine cut. Carnation planting was finished

You should not only have a printed
letter-head, but it should be of good
quality.

If you send an editor a newspaper,
mark conspicuously the item you want
liim to see; many editors' eyesight is
bad.

Do today what might be put off till
tomorrow and you can drive the busi-
ness instead of letting the business
drive you.

Correspondents will add to the accu-
racy of their reports if they will state
the day of the month, instead of using
&uch expressions as ''last Tuesday," etc.

The motto of the American Eose
Society is, "A rose for every home, a
l)U8h for every garden," and its admoni-
tion, "Come thou with us, and we will
do thee good."

The long step you take every time
you pass that muddy spot in the j?reen-
house path soon consumes more energy
than it would take to get a shovelful of
ushes and fix the walk.

The Annual Proceedings and Bulletin
of the American Rose Society for 1907
has been mailed to members. It is a
neatly printed pamphlet, containing a
report of the Washington meeting and
exhibition, constitution, by-laws, etc.

Bear in mind that you can almost in-
variably judge of a man's character
as well as of his prosperity by the
cleanliness and order that prevail in
his place of business. On this evidence
what will be the public's estimate of
you?

Buyers of green are scouring the Wis-
consin woods, but as yet little can be
said as to the season's supply and prices,
so much depends on the weather, but
each year it is necessary to go farther
afield for lycopodium, so that there is
little prospect that the market ever again
will be flooded.

W. F. Kasting is a candidate for city
treasurer of Buffalo at the approaching
election.

W. J. Godfrey, the well-known chrys-
anthemum grower at Exmouth, England,
is also something of an authority on
sweet peas. He says the variety George
Herbert is one of the best he- has found,
although the National Sweet Pea Society
prefers John Ingman.

THE PARCELS POST.

The new postmaster general has set
about making his administration memor-
able by establishing a sure enough par-
cels post in this country.

' ' Two interests are opposing the exten-
sion of parcels post — the express com-
panies and the country .retail mer-
chants, ' ' said Mr. Meyer in an interview
October 12. "The latter fear that the
mail order houses will derive a benefit to
their own disadvantage. It is in connec-
tion with the country retail merchants
that I desire to speak especially. I pro-
pose to recommend the establishment of
a parcels post in rural routes which will
meet the objections of the small store-
keepers *and retailers.

' ' This win be a boon to our rural
population and to the storekeeper, so the
latter can receive his orders by mail or
telephone and dispatch the desired mer-
chandise by the rural carrier. The
farmer will be saved from hitching up
his horse and losing the time he needs
for planting or harvesting his crops, and
it will enable the storekeeper to increase
his sales and meet the requirements of
modern trade.

"If my recommendations are adopted
it will cost 12 cents a pound for the
mail order house to send parcels to the
rural delivery patron from any city post-
office, while for delivery from the dis-
tributing oflSce of the rural route, or if
mailed by any patron of any rural route
for delivery to a patron on the same
route, or at the distributing office of
said route, the charge will be but 5 cents
for the first pound and 2 cents for each
additional pound up to eleven pounds,
or 25 cents for a package weighing
eleven pounds."

DON'T LOSE IT.

You may have a little surplus stock
in some line — not much, perhaps, but
enough to cut quite a hole in the profit
made on the whole lot if this little sur-
plus is lost. But it isn't necessary to
lose it. Nearly always there is someone,
somewhere, who needs just that little
batch of plants. You can reach that
someone, everywhere, through a classi-
fied advertisement in the Review, at a
cost of 10 cents a line. Frequently a
30-cent advertisement will sell $30, $60
or more of stock, depending on its sea-
sonableness and abundance. Everyone
reads the Review's classified ads. Don't
let the little surplus , go to waste.

THE DEATH ROLL.

Hu£o Book.

Hugo Book, of Worcester, Mass., is
dead, following an operation for appendi-
citis, performed at St. Vincent 's hospital.
He was 50 years of age, a native of
Germany and of excellent family. He
was well schooled and a thorough master
of the trade. He had built up a fine
business, whii\h is left to his widow and
three children,! the eldest 15 years of age.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Last week we were almost too excited
about what the Cubs were doing to the
Tigers to pay much attention to business,
but nevertheless the demand was fairly
active and Friday and Saturday were
big days, with the market well cleaned
up by the local buying Sunday morning.

This week opened with a market which
was almost a duplicate of the Monday
market for the last three weeks. The
receipts were decidedly light and de-
mand, which was active, was made to ap-
pear exceedingly heavy by the running
about which it was necessary to do to
find the stock to fit the orders. The
fact that Tuesday found the market
much easier indicates that it was not
Bo much a shortage in production as it
w^as a disinclination on the part of the
growers to cut on Sunday, For three
weeks we have had a remarkablv stiff

market each Monday, with increasing
supplies as the week progressed and no
shortage whatever. The increased de-
mand on Monday has largely come from
the fact that the retailers have had good
Sunday business, and have sold out what-
ever was left from Saturday. Still Fri-
day and Saturday are the largest days
in the week.

The crops of Beauty are lighter than
they were and several growers concur in
the report that all rose crops are on the
downward grade. There were, however,
even on Monday enough roses of all
kinds, except Beauties and possibly
white. Maids are in large supply. There
is a much greater variety of roses of-
fered in this market this year than in
previous seasons.

Carnations are excellent in quality and
the production is steadily increasing. De-
mand is good and on Monday a large
number of orders were cut or turned
down, especially for white.

Chrysanthemums have come on rapidly

in the last week and prices have gone
down considerably, although a few fancy
blooms still bring $4 per dozen. All
sizes and colors are now to be had in
quantity, but the best sellers are yellows
at from $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen.

Home grown single violets have come
to reinforce the large supplies of New
York doubles. Quality is improving with
cooler weather, but there is as yet no
special demand. Lily of the valley is
abundant. Easter lilies are less plentiful
and higher in price. A few callas are
arriving. There were large supplies of
outdoor stock at the first of the week,
but quality has become poor and the end
is close at hand.

Boxwood is again in the market in
quantity and all greens are abundant.
Smilax is cheaper. Ferns are excellent.
There is a good call for wild smilax.
Bunches of piumosus are scarce.

rists' Club October 10, the west side be-
ing represented by its four leading re-
tailers. Among the visitors present were
E. Bollinger, president of the Horticul-
tural Society of Lake Forest; .T. W.
Scharf enberger, Lake Forest ; W. P.
Longland, Lake Geneva; Henry W.
lUenberger, Lake Geneva ; F. R. Kuehne,
Lake Geneva, and A. J. Smith, Lake
Geneva.

John Vander Wal, S. P. Fisclier, Frank
Beu and Fred Shield were elected to
membership and applications were re-
ceived from Walter Scott, of La Grange,
and Frank Mitsch, of Evanston. F. F.
Benthey, for the trustees, reported the
selection of E. F. Winterson to act as
treasurer until the successor to the late
Edgar Sanders shall be elected. E. F.
Winterson and C. H. Fisk were nomi-
nated for treasurer, the election to take
place at the next meeting, November 14.

George Asmus, manager of the flower
show November 6 to 12, reported splen-
did prospects, indications pointing to
more exhibits than in any previous year.
A. J. Smith, of Lake Geneva, said that
not enough classes were provided solely
for private gardeners, and this precipi-
tated a general discussion of ways and
means of making the show bigger and
better than ever. P. J. Foley, for the
Foley Manufacturing Co., and John
Degnan, for the E. F. Winterson (Jo., ten-
dered special prizes for the private gar-
dener classes, which the premium com-
mittee accepted. The final premium list
will be out in a few days and will em-
body a number of the suggestions made.
For the benefit of the retail florists who
will exhibit, Manager Asmus stated that
the rules will provide that any exhibitor

may take at the exhibit all the orders
he can for future delivery.

Randall Increases Capital.

The A. L. Randall Co. October 15 cer-
tified to the Secretary of State at Spring-
field as to the increase of its authorized
capital stock from $10,000 to $50,000.
A. L. Randall, president of the corpora-
tion, states that the increase in capital
does not indicate any change in the com-
pany's affairs except the capitalizjition
of its surplus, for which the company
now has employment as a result of the
rapidly increasing business in the sni)ply
department.

Flower Show Matters.

Preparations for the big annual ex-
hibition at the Coliseum November 6 to
12 are progressing favorably, the great-
est need now being for worker.s who
can give some time to the show. There
is work for everyone. Those wanting
some of it should apply to George Asmus,
manager; Jens Jensen, chairman com-
mittee on decorations; A. Lange, chair-
man committee on general advertising,
or E. A. Kan.st, a.ssistant secretary. Mr.
Asmus, especially, will be able to provide
a means for the enthusiastic to help
along the cause.

The quarterly meeting of the Horti-
cultural Society was set for October 15,
but in its stead a meeting of the execu-
tive committee was held, devoted to per-
fecting details for the show. All re-
ports wero favorable.

Variout Notes.

E. C. Amling says there will be no
more stenciling on the ends of his boxes.

the buyers having called his attention to
the fact that the stenciling makes it im-
possible to use the box for the retailers '
own shipments. Incidentally it is worth
noting that Mr. Amling was the first
shipper in this market to .stencil his
boxes.

Harry Manheim is no longer with J.
A. Budlong.

Yaughan & Sperrv .say tlity already
have booked several orders for All
Saints' day shipment to New Orleans,
and N. J. Wietor says he has one order
for 500 white mums for the same occa-
sion.

Some of the wholesale houses are re-
ported as saying they are not interested
in the scramble for violet business which
is pretty sure to come off as soon as
supplies really get under way. but Wei-
land & Risch say they think the violet
business just a little more desirable than
most other lines, and they intend to
push it with the best of them this sea-
son.

John Poehlmann, president of the
Poehlmann Bros. Co., says he thinks the
market has got beyond the point of any
slackening in demand until Lent. He
says he looks for steadily increasing busi-
ness from now on and calls attention to
the fact that the roses are much better
than they were at this date last year.

L. Baumann & Co. report moss wreaths
as scarce and say that the price in Ger-
many is going up every day.

T. F. McGrath and wife, of Northamp-
ton, Mass., are the guests of W. E.
Lynch, vice-president of the E. H. Hunt
corporation. Mrs. IMcGrath is Mr.
Lynch 's sister.

was one of the heaviest shipping days in
many months, Bassett & Washburn hav-
ing had fifty-six orders on their book at
the time packing commenced.

There was a heavy frost on the morn-
ing of October 14, which finished most
outdoor flowers.

Seitz & Nordell, who purchased the
John C. Ure plant, have left the old
stand and are rapidly completing new
houses and a store at the northeast cor-
ner of Greenlake and Evanston avenues.
The store will be a model of its kind.

H. E. Klunder is preparing to open a
retail store, using the old State street
fixtures, at the corner of Forty-third
street and Drexel boulevard.

G. H. Pieser, president of the Kenni-
cott Bros. Co., visited Columbus, O., and
Pittsburg last week.

E. Wienhoeber reports business good.
For instance, on Saturday three wedding
jobs and a funeral called for attention
at the same time. A large number of
weddings have been handled this month.

The George Wittbold Co. has given
up the store at 54 and 56 Wabash ave-
nue, used during the rush of the decorat-
ing season, but will retain the basement.
On Sunday, October 13, the firm redec-
orated the Field store and several other
good jobs are on this week. The lobby
of the Auditorium theater has been made
into a bower of autumn foliage, the
foliage being fireproof and wired onto
branches by the Wittbold employees. Tim
Beaver is now head decorator.

^Irs. George Collins, wife of the fore-
man of the Peter Keinberg plant, has
been ill at the Ravenswood hospital for
some davs and her recoverv is despaired
of.

While Peter Eeiuberg's crop of Beau-
ties is not now as heavy as it has been,
the quality is worthy oi special mention.

Miss Clara Lackey and George Rein-
berg were married Wednesday evening,
October 16, and are now in Colorado on
their honeymoon.

N. J. Wietor says that Wietor Bros,
were cut out of October Frost and Mon-
rovia by October 12 and that the mid-
season sorts are coming on rapidly. The
firm is well pleased with the mum season
to date. Lady Harriet as grown by
them is especially good.

E. E. Pieser, treasurer of the Kenni-
cott Bros. Co., says that the season is
one of the few in his recollection when
all the summer flowers were still avail-
able at a date late enough to see all
colors of mmns in large supply.

L. Coatsworth went to New Castle Oc-
tober 1.1 to remain until" Saturday, when
an auction sale will be held to dispose
of the eleven lots adjoining the Benthey-
Coatswortli greenhouses, which Mr. Coats-
worth has platted as the Ravenswood ad-
dition to New Castle.

Ed Benthey bowls Thursday evening
with a north side club. In twelve games
he has made an average of 181.

•T. A. Budlong has an especially heavy
cut of Maids now on.

Matt Mann is beginning to cut callas
from bulbs which he is growing for the
sixth successive year.

John Zech is again able to be on duty.

.Tohn Degnan was at Joliet October 14
and reports the establishments there look-
ing good.

C. W. McKellar says the orchid stock
is now complete, dendrobiums, vandas

and oncidiums being in large supply, as
well as cattleyas.

The wholesalers ' employees are mak-
ing large preparations for their dance
on October 30. Tickets are selling rap-
idly and last year's crowd is likely to
be considerably beaten.

Mrs. W. E. Horton, of Bassett &
Washburn 's, has been ill for a week with
the grip.

P. J. Hauswirth had the decorations
Saturday night, October 12, for the ban-
quet of the Chicago Association of Com-
merce. While the banquet was the larg-
est of the season, the decoration was not
elaborate. A larger one, also by Haus-
wirth, was that for the National Pack-
ers' Association earlier in the week.

Gus Lange has resumed his advertis-
ing in the Tribune. H. R. Hughes has
stated his intention of giving daily news-
paper advertising a trial this season.

Highly as the Chicago market regards
Detroit as a flower town, and thorough-
ly as Detroit's orders are appreciated,
we had been misinformed and really
thought Detroit could play ball.

Wholesalers report collections unusual-
ly good this month.

Among the visitors in the last week
were Charles E. Critchell and Fred Gear,
Cincinnati, and Harry Rackham, son of
George Rackham, of Detroit.

Macon, Ga.— The Idle Hour Nurseries
had quite a big decoration on hand last
week, on account of the fall opening
display of the Danncnburg Co. 's do
partment store. The artistic and orig-
inal decorations were on a vast and
magnificent scale. The entire store was
in reception array.

ONCINNATL

The Market.

One week sometimes makes quite a dif-
ference in tlie outlook in the florists'
business and sucb was the case last
week. The demand for flowers of all
kinds remains about the same, but the
supply has increased to a great extent,
so much so in some lines its to almost
constitute a glut. Dahlias, which were
selling out well, are now a dead article
and it is hard to move them at any
price. Cosmos is also a drug and there
is scarcely any demand for it at alL

We have had several frosts and con-
siderable has been done in the way of
using up the outdoor flowers, but aa a
rule they are unharmed and are being
cat by the thousands. It is to be hoped
that we will get a good, hard freeze
this week, as it would help business a
good deal.

Funeral work constitutes the main de-
mand, there being little doing in so-
ciety. The demand at the wholesale
houses has been steady and quite good,
but nothing surprising. Mums, of course,
take the lead and they are selling well.
Some fine blooms are coming in and good
prices are obtained, but by far the best
demand is for the varieties that will sell
for $1, $1.50 and $2 per dozen. Some
extra good blooms are bringing $3 and
$4 a dozen, but the buyers of thia grade
are few.

Carnations are more plentiful, but are
bringing good prices, for there are not
enough to fill all orders. B. F. Hens-
ley is sending in some fine Enchantress,
which find ready sale. Boses are coming
steadily and the quality shows gradual
improvement. Beauties are scarce. Lilies
of all kinds -vre in good demand. In
green goods tuis market is well supplied.
Some especially good smilax and adian-
tum are being handled.

Various Notei.

The Cincinnati Florists' Society has
been rather quiet of late, but I judge
that now, since the sununer has gone its
way, the members will bestir themselves
and get things to moving again with
some of their old-time vigor. The next
meeting takes place November 9.

Fred Gear and C. E. Critchell went to
Chicago to attend the world's champion-

J. A. Peterson and wife returned Oc-
tober 13 from a three months' trip
through Europe. Mr. Peterson visited
many of his old haunts and renewed
friendship with many of his old com-
rades. 'His stories of his trip and the

many greenhouse plants which he visited
are interesting and instructive. Both he
and Mrs. "Peterson are in the best of
health.

E. Mack, whose greenhouaes are lo-
cated on Price Hill, has everything in
first-class shape for the fall business.
He is making preparations for a large
business on AH Souls' day.

J. T. Conger was judge of the agri-
cultural exhibit at the Butler county
fair at Hamilton, O., last week. He says
that the exhibition was fine and the com-
petition close. Mr. Conger is on a trip
through Indiana this week.

Julius Baer's auto delivery wagon is.
now doing full duty. It has been in'
commission for several weeks and has
proved to be a good investment. It
makes a fine appearance and is a big ad-
vertisement.

Gus Adams, who is with the Crabb &
Hunter Floral Co., of Grand Kapids,
Mich., is in this city. He was starting
on his way to Germany, to claim an in-
heritance of some $4,000 left to him by
a sister, but on arriving in this city he
found that it would not be necessary to
make the trip, as all arrangements could
be made through the German consul.

Myer Heller and wife are in town on
a short visit. They made the run over
from New Castle in their auto.

Visitors last week were Daniel Mc-
Borie, of South Orange, N. J. ; J. Hona-

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The cut flower trade is not as good
as it might be. Funeral work is the
bulk of the business done, but there are
a few small weddings and dinners. The
call for chrysanthemums is good. Some
extra fine Monrovia, Fitzwygram, Glory
of Pacific and Willowbrook are now to
be had, but not in large lots as yet.
These hurt the prices of roses, v.hich
are plentiful. Bride, Maid, Richmond
and Killamey are fine and too many for
the demand. American Beauty still has
a big call. Carnations are not anytoo
many. Last week, however, all varieues
were abundant. They are now coming
in with longer stems and the market
price seems to hold around 2 cents, un-
less extra fancy, when a cent more is
asked. Violets are of much better qual-
ity, but aa yet there is slow sale for
them.

Some extra fine lily of the valley is
offered at all the wholesale houses. Cos-
mos is now offered in large quantities
and hag been selling well. Tuberoses

have been quite plentiful and prices have
dropped. Dahlias are fine, at cheap
prices. Wild smilax has a good call, as
have other greens.

Qtib Meetiii£.

The Florists' Club held its monthly
meeting October 10, with a good at-
tendance. President William C. Young
presided, with all the new officers pres-
ent. Henry Jennemann, of Webster
Groves, made application for member-
ship. Mr. Jennemann make»- a specialty
of dahlias and exhibited a fine vase at
the meeting. Walter Retzer, of the St.
Louis Seed Co., was elected to member-
ship. A vote of sympathy was extended
to George M. Kellogg in his great loss
by boiler explosion. A vote of sympathy
was also extended to the Chicago Flo-
rists' Club in the loss of Edgar Sanders,
who was its treasurer at* the time of his
death.

Prof. H. C. Irish and J. J. Beneke
were appointed a committee to act with
the trustees who are to confer with a
committee from the Horticultural So-
ciety for the purpose of entertaining the
visiting florists during the flower show
next month.

Adolph Brix invited the Club to at-
tend his free flower show November 8
and to be his guests on that night, which
was accepted.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, gave
an entertaining talk about the Spring-

field flower show, given during the Illi-
nois State Fair, and was listened to with
great interest.

G. H. Pring, who has charge of the
orchid houses at the Missouri Botanical
Garden, was present and spoke on his
trip to Europe this summer and will,
during the December meeting, give a
stereopticon lecture, at which all florists
in the city will be invited to be present.

After adjournment all the members
were taken to a near-by cafe and all sat
down to a fine spread provided by the
officers, who say that this will take place
after all the meetings during the year.

As the next meeting will take place
November 14, the week of the flower
show, the trustees will make special ef-
fort for an interesting meeting, as all
the visiting florists will be invited to
attend.

Variottt Notes.

Henry Ostertag reports that he has
the contract to decorate the Railroad
Y. M. C. A. The order was given by
Miss Helen Gould, who donated the new
building. The big job will take place
this week.

L. N. Van Hook, of Ferguson, Mo.,
will cut a great many extra fine Cali-
fornia violets and carnations this season.

The Kirkwood florists, of whom there
now are many, have this year made prep-
arations to furnish this market with Cali-
fornia violets and carnations. Among

A. Jablonsky, of Central, is now cut-

His cut will be extra large this season.

The force at C. A. Kuehn's reports a
steady increase of shipping orders.
Chrysanthemums are selling well, which
has a tendency to crowd the roses and
carnations to lower prices.

MOLINE, ILL.

The Tri-City Florists' Association held
its monthly meeting October 10, with
William Knees, of South Moline. There
was a full attendance and one of the
best meetings of the year took place. The
topics up for discussion were "Shrubs
and Trees Best Suited for Private Use ' '
and "Street Plants." After the discus-
sion supper was served and a social en-
joyed. The next meeting will be at the
home of Superintendent Boehm, of Cen-
tral park, Davenport, and the subject will
be " Chrysanthemums. ' '

The Eeview will send Herrington'a
Chrysanthemum Book, with complete
cultural details, on receipt of 50 cents.

' ' The frost is on the pumpkin ' ' again
and it has closed the aster and dahlia
season in a blaze of glory, for all the

the days of outdoor cut flower supplies
are practically at an end.

perhaps, how one may claim this as the
city beautiful. There is little change
in prices, but in quality of everything
there is a constant advance towards per-
fection. The chrysanthemum display,
especially, is more than was anticipated
in size and beauty. The wholesale win-
dows are filled with Polly Rose, Monrovia,
Mrs. Robinson, Pacific and all the early
popular varieties. Thousands of plants,
too, are for sale and for the present we

may as well acknowledge chrysanthemum
is king.

Beauties are beauties indeed, now, and
the best of them hold their top price
with ease. All roses have advanced in
value, if not in price, and there is ample
demand for the best of them, notwith-
standing the mum torrent that is pour-
ing in. While this lasts, steadiness is
all we can ask or hope for.

The finest carnations sell at $4 per
hundred.

Orchids have been in good demand,
owing to the increase in bon-ton wed-
dings and the return of society folks to
town. The call from other cities is per-
sistent and growing daily. ' Valley is
abundant, but the Schultheis and Sie-
brecht brand finds a ready sale. The
time has come to consider the lilies. The
supply is insufficient and values are ris-
ing.

Cosmos was never better. Great masses
of it filled one of Small 's mndows
October 14, the other still attractive with
its great display of water lilies.

Violets begin to look natural and the
time has at last arrived when common-
sense coupled with experience indicates
the wisdom of shipments. Good selected
flowers are worth 50 cents per hundred
and so on down to where the street mer-
chants have their say, and that is law,
for the inferior and left-over supplies.

Qub Meeting.

The monthly meeting of the Florists'
Club October 14 was a most interesting
occasion, seventy-five members being pres-
ent. President Totty in the chair. L. S.
Dickinson, Frank Duggan and Leonard
Barron were elected to membership and
Mr. Schaefer was proposed. Several
changes in the by-laws were made, the
most important estabKshing a life mem-
bership at a cost of $75.

The exhibits were numerous and great-
ly" admired. Robert Scott & Son, of
Sharon Hill, Pa., exhibited their new
rose, Mrs. Jardine, a brilliant pink of
splendid substance and size, given a pre-
liminary certificate. Fred Hollender, of
Ozone Park, contributed a dozen dahlias
assorted, awarded honorable mention. H.
Beaulieu, of Woodside, showed a plant
of variegated nasturtium, given a vote of
thanks. Arthur T. Boddington staged a
grand vase of the new cosmos, Lady Len-

Prof. George V. Nash held the at-
tention ~ of all for an hour by his very
interesting lecture, ' ' Water Lilies and
Aquatics." The stereopticon views on
colored slides were especially beautiful
and added immensely to the deUght of
the audience. The enthusiastic thanks
of the club were tendered Prof. Nash
at the close of his address.

J. B. Nugent and his lieutenants did
excellent work, especially in the line of
Virginia-cured porcine delicacies that
seemed to touch a soft spot in many
oorporosities. William Tricker, of Ar-
lington, N. J., and F. Lautenschlager,
of Chicago, were visitors.

welcome him. Mr. McConnell visited
many European countries while away, but
found his old home on the Isle of Man

J. Von der Linden, of Rhinebeck, was
in the city October 10, a guest of B. S.
Slinn, Jr., who handles his shipments to
New York. He had spent the week in
Boston with the firemen of Poughkeepsie.

John Heeremans, of Morristown, N.

where he takes charge of the immense

tate is as large as the Vanderbilt place
at Biltmore, which S. A. F. convention-
ists remember with delight.

which has made Floral Park one of the
most attractive of the Brooklyn suburbs.

Felix Albert, of Buffalo, and later in
the retail business in Rochester, is in the

The MarkeU

The advancing tide of chrysanthemums
is now beginning to make its mark in
the market, and while trade was fairly
good last week, the arrivals of the queen
of autumn promise soon to be more than
can be readily disposed of. Chrysanthe-
mums are much more abundant and
prices have tumbled. A few strictly fan-
cies bring $3 per dozen, while inferior
goods fetch the same price per hundred.
Polly Rose and Glory of Pacific are
most in evidence, but some fine Clemen-
tine Touset are seen, also Ardel and a
few Ivory and Mrs. Coombes. Roses are
of good quality and so far have sold

well. Beauty, Richmond, Killarney and
Weljesley are all good, while Bride and
Maid now have fine stems. Carnations
remain about the same. Rose-pink En-
chantress promises, another season, to
largely displace the ordinary variety.
Some nice Beacon, Victory, Octoroon and
Queen are noticed. Winsor, like all the
Lawson varieties, has too short stems
so far.

Lilies are not abundant and bring
good prices. A few asters and sweet
peas are still seen, also gladioli and
cosmos. Antirrhinum and mignonette
are seen in small quantities. Quite a
large supply of both single and double
violets now are arriving, but the demand
is not yet strong for them. Prices on
adiantum are a little stiffer, also on
hardy ferns. The latter are speciallv
good at present.

lowed the reading of Mr. Wheeler's pa-
per and he was accorded an enthusiastic
vote of thanks. President Westwood ap-
pointed a nominating committee to bring
in lists of oflBcers at the next meeting.
•Several additions were again made to the
membership.

The awards committee gave William
Downs a report of merit for fine Celosia
plumosa. W. N. Craig received a report
of super'i.ir merit for Nevjn" Fothor-
gilli major. W. W. Rawson & Co. had
large displays of dahlias, anemones ~and
colchicums. George Page exhibited climb-
ing Kaiserin rose.

The nominating committee appointed
consists of Wilfrid Wheeler, Charles Hol-
brow and William Rust.

The landscape committee reported that
it is hoped to resume classes in land-
scape gardening at an early date. The
idea is to have two classes this season,
one for advanced students, the other for
beginners. It also is hoped to arrange
for a .series of practical lectures from
first-class authorities on the same sub-
je^'t. A good number of members en-

rolled themselves as pupils. There was,
as usual, a fine display of seasonable
flowers on the exhibition table. Re-
freshments were served and it was quite
late before the meeting terminated. The
attendance was 150 and indications point
to the best winter session in the club's
history.

Various Notes.

The annual fall exhibition of fruits
and vegetables on October 10 and 11 at
Horticultural hall was a splendid one,
all the halls being called into requisition
to accommodate the exhibits. In spite of
the rather light fruit crop, the apples
and pears were splendid and finer vegeta-
bles were never staged at a Boston show.
The display of fifty varieties of hardy
grapes from the T. S. Hubbard Co.,
Fredonia, N. Y., was a great feature and
was worthily awarded a silver gilt medal.
Gratuities were awarded to R. & J.
Farquhar & Co. for a display of foliage
plants and Lilium spcciosum rubrum,
W. W. Rawson & Co. for a fine collec-
tion of dahlias and G. E. Davenport for
a general display. W. C. Strong re-

ceived honorable mention for seedlings of
Weir's cut-leaved maple.

Blue Hill Nurseries have had a very
heavy fall trade in hardy perennials and
have shipped more evergreens than usual
for early fall planting.

Some very fine Clementine Touset
chrysanthemums are coming into the
market from W. C. Ward. Another suc-
cessful grower of this fine variety is Wil-
liam Nicholson.

Alexander Montgomery reports his white
sport of Killamey rose is doing finely.
He expects to have 5,000 plants of it
next season. One grower who has seen
it ordered that number alone. It will
not be introduced before the sprine of
1909. ^

William A. Walke, of Salem, has a
splendid lot of several thousands of Lil-
ium Harrisii coming for Christmas.

Alexander McKay is growing freesias
more heavily this season, these, with car-
nations, being his specialties.

Thomas Galvin is making some effect-
ive window displays of oncidiums, cat-
tleyas and other seasonable orchids.

PHILADELPHIA.

Houston, Tex.— W. W. Westgate, of
the Westgate Drug Co., whose green-
houses were destroyed by the big storm
in 1900 and who withdrew from the
florists' trade at that time, is making
preparations to enter into the business
again. He has five lots, situated close to
town, which he will use as the site for
his city stand, and he expects to buy a
tract of land, about six miles out, for a
nursery and a summer home.

Austin, Tex. — A. J. Seiders, lately
with the Austin Floral Co., has been ap-
pointed director of rural arts at the Col-
lege of Industrial Arts, Denton, Tex. Jn
his department of the college, instruction
is given in gardening, floriculture, cut
flower work and designing, poultry and
bee keeping. Though not a college gradu-
ate, Mr. Seiders has had fifteen years'
practical experience in these lines. The
salary is $1,800 per annum, with resi-
dence on the grounds.

The Rliios: Eastern Market

The aster and the dahlia have made
their bow; the former has left the stage
entirely, so far as the quality goes, while
the dahlia is hovering in the wings un-
certain whether it will receive an en-
core or be summarily dismissed by Jack
Frost. Chrysanthemum is queen, the
early varieties being with us in force.
The Pacific family is most in evidence,
but unlike former seasons, there are
more good yellows about now — mid-Oc-
tober. Monrovia has come strongly to
the front, some fine flowers of this va-
riety bringing top prices. While Tine
of Gold can hardly be described as a
yellow, its deeper shade has won ad-
mirers. Halliday has made its appear-
ance, the whites being reinforced by
Early Snow, a beautiful thing, and the
pinks by Rosiere. There are other va-
rieties, but these will give an idea of
the range of color and shades of color.

Dahlias are still good, the cut being
aifected at times by cold nights, to be
followed by an increase after warmer
days. Roses are rapidly improving in
quality. Fancy Beauties have been in
demand at good prices. Valley is
scarce. Carnations are greatly improved,
some superb stock being seen, with long
stems. The average, however, is not yet
up to the mark, owing, no doubt, to the
hot weather in September. Orchids are
very plentiful, and appear more in de-

mand than ever. Single violets are fine,
but as yet do not keep well. Double
violets are improving and increasing in
quantity. Pansies have made their ap-
pearance. Greens are in fair demand,
wild smilax and autumn leaves being
most popular.

Bouvardia is not selling quite as well
as at first. There are a few nice Har-
risii lilies in the market. Gardenias are
sufficiently numerous to stimulate the de-
mand at advancing prices. The poorer
grades of flowers are suffering from the
oversupply caused by increasing indoor
and unchecked outdoor crops. Hydran-
geas are sufficiently bad to suit the most
fastidious buyer, who will turn from
them when they are pure white, but be-
comes interested as soon as they assume
the rainbow colors.

The Highest Awards.

The Conard & Jones Co., West Grove,
has received a letter vmtten last month
by S. T. Wright, superintendent of the
experiment station of the Royal Horti-
cultural Society, whose trial grounds are
at Wisely, Ripley Surrey, England. Mr.
Wright states that the judges of the
cannas sent to him for trial have highly
recommended Wyoming and awarded cer-
tificates of merit to Gladiator, William
Saunders, Uncle Sam, The Duke of York
and Venus. This is a great triumph for
the Conard & Jones Co., as it is believed
in this country that there were few cer-
tificates of merit awarded and that no
other American grower has ever received

such recognition from the Royal Horti-
cultural Society.

Antoine Wintzer, to whose genius as a
hybridizer of cannas this result is due,
when seen a few days ago, stated that
these cannas were all of the firm's own
raising, that they had been sent to Eng-
land in the spring of 1906, but owing to
delays had not been in condition for
judging that season. Mr. Wright cared
for the stock and got it in fine shape for
planting out this year. It was stated in
Mr. Wright's letter that the judges were
greatly impressed with the variety of
coloring shown in these American can-
nas, a greater range of color and shades
of color being seen among the eighteen
varieties sent than in any other collec-
tion. Three other seedlings of Mr. Wint-
zer's were awarded certificates of merit;

these were shown under number and are
not yet named.

Robert Pyle, president of the com-
pany, in speaking of the awards, said
that the Royal Horticultural Society has
a membership so large as to seem almost
incredible to Americans familiar with
the size of our horticultural societies.
When Mr. Pyle was abroad a couple of
years ago, he was much interested in one
of the exhibitions of this society. Not
only were the exhibits varied and of high
order, but the interest shown by the
average visitor was keen and his or her
knowledge far greater than that of the
average visitor in this country, as shown
by the comments on the exhibits.

An hour spent with Mr. Wintzer in
the canna fields was full of the keenest
enjoyment. Nearly all the varieties
grown are Mr. Wintzer 's own raising,
though a few choice sorts, such as King
Humbert, are admitted to fellowship in
this select company. A whole block of
Buttercup seedlings in many generations
were full of promise. Another yellow,
an improved Coronet, exactly implies
what its name describes, but the chief
work of the past year centers in the im-
proved whites and pinks. Mont Blanc, in
course of four generations, has been im-

proved to a wonderful degree, both in
size of flower and in purity of coloring.
These whites are an especial favorite
with Mr. Wintzer, who says that at twi-
light the long rows of Mont Blanc and
its successors can be seen and enjoyed
when the other varieties have faded into
dusk. These long rows of 400 plants of
a single variety are worth going miles
to see, first Mont Blanc, then Venus,
then Gladiator with its spots on a yellow
field, and so on through the last of the
varieties. The improved pinks, starting
with Maiden's Blush, run through all
shades of pink and so-called pink, some
having exquisite colored edging, the
beauty of others being enhanced by
bronze foliage. A new type of canna lily
is the gladiolus-flowered, much admired-
by some canna lovers. Mr. Wintzer has
just lifted his plants to be used in
hybridizing, which will soon be done in-
doors.

The Treastxry Portfolio.

' The retirement of J. William Colflesh,
after long and faithful service as treas-
urer of the Florists' Club of Philadel-
phia, marks an epoch in the history of
the club, the treasurership passing from
a grower once more into the hands of a
retailer. The new incumbent, George
Craig, has a long and honorable business
record and in his hands a faithful and
conservative management of the club's
finances is assured. It is doubtful
whether any horticultural organization
in the country has ever had such a trio
of able financial managers as Thomaa
Cartledge, J. William Colflesh and
George Craig.

Various Notes.

Leo Niessen paid a visit to Brandy-
wine Summit a few days ago, calling on
Albin Harvey & Sons. Mr. Niessen re-
ports that the carnations at this place
were equal, if not superior, to any that
he had ever seen. The Lawson, indoor
grown, are tall and bushy, producing fine
flowers on stems of unusual length for
this season. Winsor and Rose-pink En-
chantress were also in the Lawson class.

Mr. Jones, representing J. M. Gaaser
Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, was a visitor
recently.

TheMa^et

Trade last week kept up fairly well.
Many funeral designs were made up and
used a great deal of the large quantity
of cut blooms that was on the market.
We have had a little frost, but could
not find that any damage had been done
yet. On making a trip to Vincent's last
Tuesday, I found his dahlia fields one,
mass of blooms and thousands could be
cut. The firm was still making ship-
ments of cut dahlias and is now potting
up thousands of geraniums.

Boses and carnations are arriving in
fine condition. The early chrysanthe-
mums are abundant, selling well, and the
only drawback is the lack of outside
blooms, such as dahlias. In cosmos the
city market had quite a rush last Satur-
day and the public seemed eager to buy.
Some dealers were sold out early in the
evening. Violets are coming in slowly.
Greens are enough to meet the demands.
Wild fern leaves are plentiful.

Home Cominf Week.

Our city is now entertaining thousands
of strftPgers and home comers and the
decorations are gorgeous. The public
buildings are nearly all brilliantly il-
luminated and at night are transformed
into great blazes of light. The city mar-
ket florists are well pfitroni^ed, selling
many cut flowers, aijd from the indica-
tions the flower business will get some

benefit. At present little decorating
with plants is going on, but many
bunches will be used in the parades. G.
Siddons generally makes up hundreds
of bunches and has his men on the
streets, and they dispose of them easily.
This will be a busy week. Large recep-
tions and entertainments will be held,
calling for decorations. The doors are
open and you are welcome.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

OCTOBBB 17, 1907.

Vegetable Forcing.

W. W. Rawson states that all the soil
used at his big vegetable forcing plant
at Arlington, Mass., is sterilized.

W. B. Davis & Co., large vegetable
growers at Aurora, 111., say that they
now employ no other insecticide than
hydrocyanic acid gas.

It is worth while keeping an eye on
the pages of European advertising in
the Review. There are many offers
there that will mean money to you to
know about.

VEGETABLE MARKETS.

New York, Oct. 14. — Mushrooms, 20c

Chicago, Oct. 15. — Leaf lettuce, 20c to
35c each; mushrooms, 20c to 35c lb.

THE GROWING OF VEGETABLES.

[A paper by W. W. Rawson, of Boston, Mass.,
read before the Congress of Horticulture at
tbe Jamestown Exposition, September 23, 1907,
continued from the Review gt October 10.]

- Greenhouse Construction.

Now a word about greenhouses and
their construction. The foundation
should be of cement, the frame of iron,
and the purlins, in cold climates, of
wood. The glass should be as large as
possible, 20x30 inches having been found
to be the most economical. As to the
size of the houses, I would recommend
one twenty feet wide to be 100 feet long,
one thirty feet wide to be 200 feet long,
one forty feet wide to be 300 feet long,
and one fifty feet wide to be 400 feet
long. This proportion has proved to be
the most satisfactory, but I should rec-
ommend the larger sizes as being much
more economical to heat and regulate.

I have only mentioned the way to pro-
duce crops as a whole in the market gar-
den. Each one of the crops mentioned
above could easily be made the subject
of a lecture by itself, but I have not the
time to go into the matter now.

This subject of the commercial culture
of vegetabifes has been studied deeply in
New England, and the prosperity of the
majority of our market gardeners shows
with what success.

Intensify and Specialize.

There are many branches of agricul-
ture and horticulture which may be fa-
miliar to many men, but the method
today is to intensify and specialize, and
the truly successful man is the one who
cultivates only a few crops, those to
which his land and climate are best
adapted and those which have the great-
est demand in his market.

We have fotmd in New England that
while we depend upon the farmer and
agriculturist of the west and south for
many of the necessities, they look to us
for many of the finer vegetables, to be
suppUed to them at certain seasons of
the year. While corn, wheat, oats and
potatoes are their agricultural products,
lettuce, cucumbers and celery are ours.

Massachusetts is not an agricultural
state, but it produces annually at the
present time $65,000,000 worth of prod-
ucts, its -largest crop being cucumbers
under glass. In the little town where I
live there are today over 100 acres of
glass where thirty years ago there was
not one acre, and we produce in Arling-
fon more products for-^#r acreage than

any other town in the country and, I may
say, the world. There are many hun-
dreds of acres under glass in the state
of Massachusetts, all producing crops of
lettuce and cucumbers, where forty years
ago no glass was used.

The men of those days did well on
their outside growing, but by the intel-
ligent use of all the new methods and
inventions great changes have been made.
The sons of those men followed their
fathers and are cultivating successfully
today the same land with the improved
methods, and ever looking forward to
still greater improvements and thereby
larger and better crops. The most suc-
cessful of these market gardeners at
present confine themselves to a few crops
having a ready sale all the season,
thereby having a continuous crop and
steady returns.

Profits of Market Gardeniog.

All of these men will testify that the
business of market gardening can b«
made as profitable as any other business
and they can live better, feel better and
know that what they enjoy really be-
longs to them and is not obtained by
speculation.

The time is coming when the business
of agriculture will stand as high as any
calling, and in the future those engaged
in it will be looked up to as men of in-
telligence and knowledge and be re-
spected as exponents of the leading in-
dustry of mankind.

To the young man of today I would
say: Study agriculture. Apply yourself
to that part of it to which you are
adapted and which you like best, and
you may be sure there is no calling in
which you will take greater pleasure. The
profit is sure to come to those who follow
it, and among the first branches of agri-
culture will be found the commercial
growing of vegetables.

KANSAS aXY.

Eugene Rust, general manager of the
Union Stock Yards Co., is the moving
spirit in the flower ghow held in the
stock pavilion this week as an adjunct
to the American Royal Live Stoek show.
When Mr. Rust conceived the idea of
adding the floral feature to the Amer-
ican Royal he secured the cooperation
of W. L. Rock, who in turn enlisted the
aid of the local people and secured a
number of exhibits from out-of-town
growers, including a splendid vase of
the Mrs. Marshall Field rose from Peter
Reinberg, Chicago. The show occupies
40,000 square feet of space in the pa-
vilion. Monday was garden flower day,
Tuesday was rose day and chrysanthe-
mums and carnations the special attrac-
tions for Wednesday and Thursday. Fri-
day and Saturday the program calls fot
violets, valley and orchids. It was Mr.
Rock's idea to designate one day spe-
cially for br'des-to-be and make a fiuiture
of a display of wedding arrangements.

The American Pomological Society at
its biennial session at the Jamestown ex-
position, September 24, awarded to Ell-
wanger & Barry the Wilder medal, for
their display of fruit, consisting of 111
varieties of pears, ninety-six varieties of
apples and forty varieties of grapes. The
firm has just received an order for nurs-
ery stock from the United States gov-
ernment to be shipped to the Philippine
islands.

New York, N. Y. — A stone green-
house, 136x159 feet, will be erected in
Bronx Park Botanical Garden, at a cost
of $62,796. The architects are Brinley
& Holbrook.

CORN EXPOSITION AT CHICAGO.

The corn exposition at the Coliseum,

attracted many farmers and done much
to stimulate the interest in better seed,

careful selection it is of utmost value.
The show continues to October 19, all
exhibits being sold at auction that day.

others comes word that there is hardly
any seed at all. The estimated deliveries
from the California growers do not help
matters, as the actual needs of the plant-
ers and middlemen were not arranged
for by half when the California people
booked contract orders last spring. A
great many of the dealers held off from
giving orders at the prices then asked
and as a consequence are now looking
for, or will be looking for, seed. Onion
seed of a quality that set sowers are
afraid of is being offered at reasonable
prices, but the dependable article does
not seem to be in evidence at anything
but prohibitive rates. The stock of seed
of the standard sorts for making the
marketable onion is exceedingly hard to
locate and wholesale seedsmen are reluc-
tant to book orders except at an open
price. It goes without saying that prices
will be about as high as the traflSc will
bear, but it is likely that after a while
prices will settle down to considerably
below the rates now talked of; still this
possibility affords little encouragement
to the man who cannot now put his hand
on a good round lot of a single variety
at a price that he can use it at.

CORN IN OHIO.

C. S. Clark, well known as a grower
of corn for seed purposes in Erie and
Sandusky counties in Ohio, writes as fol-
lows under date of October 12:

"Eegarding the condition of our seed
com crops, I will say that all extra early
sorts will make fair to good crops of
seed. All late varieties are in great dan-
ger of getting frozen up solid before
dry, which will make them unfit for seed.
The weather is so cold, and we are having
so much rain, that corn stands still.
The prospects now point to a very great
shortage in all kinds of late corn, both
field and sweet. Last year our corn was
all ripe by September 20; now, Octo-
ber 12, finds hundreds of acres green yet.
We are now very busy building another
dryer, to use heat for drying if neces-
sary."

NEBRASKA SEED CROPS.

William Emerson, manager of the
Western Seed and Irrigation Co., Fre-
mont, Neb., October 9, completed an
inspection trip through the vine seed and
seed corn section of central Nebraska.
He gives his conclusions as follows:

"I regret to state that the crops in
general are somewhat below the average,
and I do not look for any large yields or
surplus crops. Owing to the cold, back-
ward spring, many of the crops were
thin stands, and were further hurt by the
cut worms and the striped beetle, and in
some cases the crops were nearly de-

varieties will be short, and that nearly
all growers will be unable to fill their
orders for the late varieties in full. The
same will apply to the white flint varie-
ties of field corn, and some of the yellow
flint varieties.

"The cucumber and muskmelon crops
are below the average, as to yield, and I
look for shortages of some varieties of
cucumber and a great scarcity of some
varieties of muskmelon. The water-
melon, pumpkin and squash, with a few
exceptions, seem to have done better, but
there will also be some short deliveries
of a few varieties of these kinds.

"I believe, therefore, there will be a
good demand for sweet and flint corn,
also vine seeds, and that the prices will
range somewhat higher."

With December wheat $1.06, December
com 63%c and December oats 55c on the
Chicago Board of Trade October 15, the
farmers should be able to buy $2 onion
seed by the time the catalogues are out.

At Chicago this week timothy seed is
dull and steady. Contract was quoted
October 15 at $4.30(5)4.35 ; March, $4.60,
and country lots, $3.50@4.40. Clover-
seed was steady at $17 for contract and
$11@16.50 for cash lots.

M. S. Staek, Otter Lake, Mich., says
that, following an unusually dry season,
the bean growers in his vicinity are hav-
ing bad luck, for up to October 11 it had
rained almost daily. Mr, Stark says he
does not look for more than one-fourth
of a normal crop of good beans in that
section, which is considered about the
best in the state for growing beans.

■ The small onion set dealers in the vi-
cinity of Chicago are occupying the cen-
ter of the stage at present, reports giv-
ing them credit three times for each car
shipped. There is nothing wrong in this,
only it makes the onion set crop appear
much greater than it really is and
throws the outsider who is seeking a
straight tip off the track, the final re-
sult being hurtful to the industry.

The market gardeners are beginning
to ask for seeds of their favorite strains.

It is worth while keeping an eye on
the pages of European advertising in
the Review. There are many offers
there that will mean money to you to
know about.

W. W. Eawson & Co., Boston, have
issued their ' ' Bulb Guide, ' ' a companion
pamphlet for ' ' Practical Guide for Vege-
table Growing" and "Guide for Flow-
ers." As in the earlier "Guides," this
contains cultural directions and no ad-
vertising. The set of three are thought
to answer about all the questions an
amateur can ask.

NURSERY NEWS.

AHBBICIN ASSOCIATION OF NDB8EBYHBN.

^^I?'*-;,''- ^- ^"^' ^e* Moines, la.; Vlce-pres.,
C. M. Hobbs, Bridgeport, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. O.
Sealer. RocheBter; Treas., O. L. Yatea, Bocbes-
ter. The 33d annual convention will be held at
Milwaukee, June, 1908.

Thebe are a great many peonies that
the owners are willing to part with at
reasonable prices.

The Crown Nursery Co., in Knox
county, Tennessee, has been incorporated,
with a capital stock of $10,000.

The American Association of Park
Superintendents has issued a booklet con-
taining an account of the proceedings
at the last annual meeting, August 15 to
17, 1907.

Thebe will be a big call for the Frau
Karl Druschki rose next spring. It did
well everywhere last season and nursery-
men esteem it one of the best new things
in years.

It is worth while keeping an eye on
the pages of European advertising in
the Review. There are many oflFera
there that will mean money to you to
know about.

A TABLE showing the Agricultural
Department's revised figures as to the
total imports of nursery stock in the
years 1905 and 1906 appears on page 34
of this issue.

The Eagle Nurseries Co. has been in-
corporated at Camden, N. J., with a
capital stock of $100,000. The incorpo-
rators are L. M. Stiles, of Philadelphia,
and R. Peacock and C. Bridge, both of
Camden.

Geobge H. Bbown, formerly of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, Wash-
ington, D. C, has been awarded the con-
tract to make the landscape plan, to cost
$500, for Evergreen cemetery at Nor-
folk, Va.

The Horticultural Trades Association
of Great Britain this year tried the
badge-book idea of the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen and the members
were so well pleased that the plan will
be continued.

Mbs. J. C. Feslee, of Eochelle, is
urging that Illinois adopt a state tree
and asks each public school to take a
vote to decide which tree shall be se-
lected, the result of the joint ballot to
be communicated to the- state legislature.

Oechabdists throughout Missouri and
Illinois must choose between the spray
pump and the ax in treating their fruit
trees, according to experts who addressed
a meeting of St. Louis county fruit grow-
ers at Clayton, Mo., October 12. G. T.
Powell, Geneva, N. Y.; Leonard Hase-
man, assistant in entomology in the State
University at Columbia, and Prof. H. C.
Irish, superintendent of the Missouri
Botanical Gardens, were among those
who spoke. It was one of several meet-
ings arranged for by Frank A. Weber,
secretary of H. J. Weber & Sons Nur-
sery Co.

but for a brief space of time, betouse
of a misunderstanding of the manage-
ment of the screens, or, still worse, of
neglect. The trees were allowed to grow
up unchecked and in several cases they
were planted thickly, and in consequence
little foliage was on the trees where it
was most needed to answer the intended
purpose. If on the other hand these
trees (maples and willows) had been at-
tended to in the matter of trimming and
pruning, especially topping, an operation
absolutely necessary in the case of trees
of rapid growth intended for permanent
screens, the purpose originally intended
would not only be attained but the lives
of the trees would also be considerably
prolonged.

When trees are at first planted for
the purpose of screening it is no doubt
necessary to plant them thickly in order
that something will be accomplished with-
out loss of time, but it should always be
remembered that as they grow and be-
gin to crowd each other it will pay either
to move some to make room for others
before all are practically ruined, or to

And, again, it should be remembered
that it is not a good plan to wait until
a tree grows to the same height as the
object it is planted to screen before it
is topped or pruned back.

After the trees moved or cut down are
gone there may be blank spaces that will
require some temporary filling until such

Buch time, be filled with other quick-

should also without fail be removed be-
fore they begin to injure the former in
any way. M.

BORERS IN WILLOWS.

I notice that on many two-year-old
Kilmarnock weeping willows the base of
the trunk is rotten. Something like a
ring is formed around the trunk. The
center of the trunk, extending a foot or
so upward, is also rotten. What causes
this? -Is this worm or bug also destruc-
tive to other trees? Please also give a
remedy and preventive. J, K.

The damage to the willows may be
caused by borers. The parts of the trees
affected, as well as like parts of those
yet unaffected, should be painted with a
somewhat thick solution of coal tar and
clay, or coal tar and cow maiiure. The
clay or cow manure is required in order
to render the coating adhesive and per-
manent. Calcium dissolved in water and
then applied with a brush will also be
found to act as a good preventive. The
soil should be carefully removed from
the base of the trees and then the trunk
down to the roots should be cleaned,
thereafter applying a coat of either of
the above. R. B.

THEE ROOTS IN CISTERN.

Please tell me how I can keep the
roots of a large Cottonwood tree out of
a cistern. There is a distance of about
thirty feet between the two. Would it
be advisable to put an inch coat of
cement on the inside of the wall and
then put in an extra wall, laid in
cement f Or is there a less expensive
way to save the cistern and the tree
too? E. D. B.

All that appears to be necessary to
prevent the roots of the cottonwood tree
from entering the cistern is a coat of
cement, as suggested. There seems to
be no need to build another wall. Al-
though a cheaper way out of the diflS-
culty might be found, it would prob-
ably only answ'er the purpose tem-
porarily, whereas an inch coat of con-
crete, made out of sharp gritty sand
and Portland cement, will last and
answer the purpose without fail for a
long time. R. R.

STRATinCATION OF SEEDS.

The stratification of seeds is practiced
mainly because seeds are protected there-
by, and easily in large quantities, until
the season most favorable for sowing.
Nature provides protection for seeds by
covering them with leaves, besides using
atmospheric agencies in the treatment
necessary to be undergone by them be-
fore germination as well as after. It is
this work of nature that doubtless first
gave man the idea of stratifying seeds in
order to aid nature in her work.

Stratification consists of placing a
layer of sand or dry earth in a shal-
low box or flat and then placing a layer
of seeds, repeating the operation until
the box is filled. The seeds may be mixed
with the soil or sand and keep just as
well as when placed in layers, but it
sometimes happens that some of the seeds
germinate before the others and then, if
they had been placed in layers, each
layer could with ease be uncovered and
taken oat for sowing or planting; where-
as, with the other method there would
be considerable difficulty experienced in

doing that. And, again, when the seeds
and the covering material are mixed it
becomes necessary, before planting, either
to screen the material away from the
seeds or to plant or sow it with the
seeds.

The boxes, when filled, should be
buried in a trench and covered with
boards and then the earth filled in and
up to form a ridge, or the boxes may be
placed on the level ground and earth
in sufficient quantity thrown over them.

Besides attaining the object of pre-
serving the seeds, this form of stratifi-
cation rots the coverings of many seeds,
while the depth at which they are placed
renders them incapable of sprouting.

holly two years, before thev vegetate.

pear to be scarce articles." Mr. Mann
says he "can fill any order for any
amount for all these articles up to a
million dollars," which seems to be as
much as any florist is likely to need for
a brisk season's business.

PORTLAND, C«E.

State of Trade.

WjB feel quite satisfied with the prog-
ress "October is making. It bids fair to
outshine September in many ways, and
these bright autumn days are just what
is needed to bring forth a better supply
of stock. Trade is on the increase, with
a demand which leaves nothing a drug
on the market. We are now getting a
fine supply of indoor-grown stock, chrys-
anthemums filling a prominent part. Al-
though very much sought after, violets
are a little disappointing in quantity.
Carnations are improving and bringing
a good prjbce. About the only flowers of
commercial value that are left outside
are the dahlias. We have them in the
best colors and varieties and they seem
to be growing in popularity, for we are
selling lots of them. Choice roses arc
none too plentiful, but the Kaiserins and
Camots seen at Clarke Bros.' store this
week deserve special mention. They sur-
pass anything shown this season in
lengths of stem and perfection of bloom.

Varioui Notes.

During our rambles one bright after-
noon we called at the Sibson Rose Nur-
series, where the proprietor is always
glad to pilot visitors around. In re-
sponse to numerous questions, we were
told that the rose houses were now pro-
ducing a heavy crop, all of which finds a
quick aifd profitable sale in the whole-
sale market.

We next devoted a little time to car-
nation discussion with Peter Johnson.
While his is an unpretentious place, it is
quality and not quantity that prevails
here. Mr. .Johnson built his houses for
carnations alone and he has them as fine
as they are grown.

L. G. Pfunder has quit his store and
the business forever and joined the ranks
of retired capitalists. The greenhouses

bert has grown up with the business in
Mr. Pfunder 's employ.

Martin Beukauf arrived last week in
Ids private car from Philadelphia, rented
one of the most spacious rooms at the
Portland hotel, in which to display his
large line of samples, and promptly an-
nounced to his customers that he was
ready for business. Mr. Beukauf is one
of the few Quakers to come to the coast
and we have to look serious during his
visits.

The rose carnival and fiesta, already
announced to take place next June, is re-
ceiving widespread attention. The com-
mercial bodies promoting it propose rais-
ing a subscription of $100,000, and as-
sistance from the florists has been ear-
nestly requested. A. J. Clarke, George
Otten and Berger Tonseth were ap-
pointed a committee to raise a fund
among the florists.

Our city park now offers the most bril-
liant display of the year. The immense
beds of salvias, geraniums and cannas,
together with the beautiful autumn foli-
age, are a delight to the eye and a source
of great pride, owing to the lateness of
the season. H. J. ^I.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

Flowers of all kinds are scarce, but
they are no scarcer than are orders with
the retailers at i^resent. Business is des-
perately quiet, and were it not for a
few straggling funeral designs and
bunches there would be absolutely noth-
ing to write of on this score. Flowers,
however, with the possible exception of
chrysanthemums, are well bought up and
the wholesalers have but little to com-
plain of. I refer to outside grown
mums and those of the smaller grades,
of which there has been a small surplus
for the last week. Carnations and roses
have not advanced in price, but we can
expect a slight rise in a few days. Val-
ley is not quite as plentiful as it was
a week ago, but moves faster. A few
Boman hyacinths are being sent into
town. They cost the retailers at the
rate of three dozen for $1.

Smilax is getting plentiful, much to
the delight of the dealers. It has been
a scarce article all summer and has been
in good demand throijghout the season.

Violets are not yet very plentiful, al-
though the street hucksters are com-
mencing to take advantage of their grad-
ual reduction in price and are offering

Martin Beukauf, representing H.
Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, is

kets and general florists' supplies. He
reports a heavy trade all along the Pa-
cific coast.

D. F. Carnes, representing the Sose-
ville Pottery Co., has left on a trip to
Los Angeles and San Diego.

Bernard P. Miller, who successfully
directed the recent Alameda county car-
nival at Idora park, Berkeley, has been
appointed by the Oakland chamber of
Commerce to secure the next annual flo-
ral exhibition of the State Horticultural
Association for that city. This is to
form the nucleus for a splendid floral
display next spring. The movers in the
project will plan for the competitive ex-

from all sections of the coast.

The dahlia and chrysanthemum exhibi-

Polito hall, on Sixteenth and Guererro
streets, on the afternoon and evening of
October 5. Both amateurs and profes-

The SIMPLICITY SPRAYER

II

|N LAST week's Review a reader asked: "Which is the
best Spray Pump?" This is the Editor's advice: "We
use the Simplicity style of sprayer and like it very
much. We like these better than the force-pump
sprayer, because after pumping them up you are free
to devote all your attention to the spraying. Before we
bought this sprayer we used an ordinary brass syringe with
good effect, but we find this sprayer a great SAVER, not only
of time, but also OF SPRAYING MATERIAL. With a steady
spray you walk right along and do not go over a large part
of the space a second time, as one is likely to do when atten-
tion is drawn away everv few seconds. The sprayer soon
pays for itself. A. F. J. B."

diameter at the stock just above the
roots f They are growing on a public
street and I intend to transplant them
to another location. The land would be
very hard to dig now, but after the win-
ter rains it would be an easy matter.

W. E. K.

Speaking in a broad way, the present
time is the best season of the year to
handle evergreens of the pittosporum
type. Or, to be more explicit, I might
add that thescf trees should be moved at
any time when they can continue to grow
without having a setback on account of
very cold, frosty weather or exception-
ally hot or drying weather. Unlike de-
ciduous trees, which should be handled
when they are dormant and when the
climatic conditions favor a cessation of
growth, the evergreens should not have a
check of any kind when transplanted,
for they either go ahead almost imme-
diately or die back in a few days, after
which only the most vigorous pruning
can save them.

Although I prefer to handle these
trees at Uiis season of the year, in pref-
erence to cold, frosty weather, there are
several factors to be taken into consid-
eration. A tree with a trunk six inches
in diameter must be at least ten feet
high, and unless the owner wishes to sac-
rifice a large portion of the top, a very
large ball of earth should be taken, in
this case at least thirty inches through.
Of course, unless the trees have been
growing in a situation where there has
been considerable moisture during the
summer, the ground will be too hard to
permit of such a procedure. It is very
easy, however, to soak the soil around

the trees for several days and get the
earth soft enough to ball properly. This,
of course, would not be true unless the
soil were of such consistency as to al-
\(fw a proper ball of earth to be made.
Should the trees be growing in sandy
soil, they should be root-pruned at once
and left standing in their respective
places until early in the spring, and then
transplantetl with as much soil as will
stick on the roots. If such a course has
to be taken, the trees should be root-
pruned to a distance of eighteen inches
on all sides of the trunk and thirty
inches deep. This will cause the trees,
if a few good soakings are given at this
time, to make a quantity of fibrous roots,
in which case they can be very easily
handled, even if but little soil sticks to
the roots.

Should it be impossible to handle the
trees under any consideration at this
time, I should not touch them until the
end of March, when I should carefully
ball them and prune them in, say, to
three-fourths of their normal size. The

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

State of Business.

Trade has been brisk for the last ten
(lays. There has been a great deal of
funeral work, and that has used up white
stock closely. . Mums now are coming in
fine and are in fair supply. Eoses and
carnations are more plentiful, but are
not nearly enough to meet the demand.
The growers all report stock unusually
good this season, especially mums, and
no doubt there will be some keen com-
petition at our show next month. Every-
thing is fairly well housed for the win-
ter, and the run of business in general
indicates a good season ahead of us.

Variotis Notes.

The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting Tuesday night, October 8, Presi-
dent Stephens in the chair. There was
a good turnout. The mum show commit-
tee reported everything moving along
nicely for the show and no doubt we
will have a good exhibition, as everyone
seems much interested. After the meet-
ing the married men rolled against the
single men and got beat — the same as
usual. The four highest scores were
made by Reichert, McKellar, Buehler
and Metzmaier, all single except McKel-
lar.

J. R. Hellenthal has some fine carna-
tions and mums and also one table of
Perle roses that are a picture. He is
adding a new office and workroom, which
will be a great help to him in handling
trade.

E. Metzmaier is adding a new office
and salesroom to his plant.

The Munk Floral Co. is cutting some
good mums and reports stock in general
doing nicely.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has
leased space in the Snyder-Chaflfee choco-
late shop, which will be used as a cut
flower branch, and expects to open about
October 17.

The Franklin Park Floral Co. is cut-
ting some fine Monrovia and reports
stock looking promising.

G. H. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
Chicago, was a visitor here last week on
his way home from Pittsburg. J. M.

Rochester, Mich. — Frank Dahlman is
building a greenhouse and store, of
cement blocks, on his property at the
south side of East Third street. The
greenhouse is 20x60 feet and the store
10x20 feet. Mr. Dahlman will handle
early vegetables as well as cut flowers.

The largest free-flowering white
carnation ever produced; the
form is beautiful and displays the
size to the very best advantage;
color very pure; texture excellent;
stem extra long at all times of the
year; a startling novelty, produc-

Grandest novelty for 1908.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

OCTOBUB 17, 1907.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Laat week opened with a fresh lot of
mums much larger in quantity, and an
increase in other lines of stock. £oses
are much improved in quality and carna-
tions are longer-stemmed. Killarney is
making a big hit and is getting to be in-
dispensable. Mum plants are now on
sale and go well. We have nothing
else to oflFer in the flowering line, and
people become very anxious at this season
of the year for a few house plants.
Boston ferns have had a heavy call this
fall, no doubt larger than ever before.

Various Notes.

Mr. Lee, who has been in the employ
of Miss R. M. Rebstock for the summer,
has left to take a similar position in
Chicago. Mr. Lee accomplished one thing
in Buffalo, and that was to get a wife,
which is more than some have done in
thirty years.

Mr. Hewson, of the William Scott Co.,/.
has returned from his trip, starling at
the state fair, at which he was judge of
the flowers. This was an honor to him,
as it was his second year to hold this
position. The rules call for any man
to be a judge for one year only, but lack
of first-class men, combined with Mr.
Hewson 'a ability, necessitated his return.

Mr. Jones, of Tonawanda, has com-
pleted two new houses, to be devoted to
carnations.

Mr. Cfillman, of Rhinebeck, made his
usual fall visit to see Mr. Kasting and
the people who buy his flowers. Accord-
ing to Mr. Gillman's story, the labor
problem is serious with the violet grow-
ers. He has solved the problem by buy-
ing houses and renting them to his em-
ployees, so as to keep them .where he
can handle them or he knows why.

David J. Scott, of Corfu, was in town
looking up the entry list for the fall
show to be held in Buffalo this fall,

A number of the Buffalo florists have
entered politics this fall, including our
ex-president, William F. Kasting, who
is running for city treasurer. We shall
expect every florist in town to cast his
vote this way. R. A. S.

Elwood, Ind. — Miss Laura Albertine
Dftebendorfer was married October 16
to Louis Eugene Michelly, of Chicago.
The couple will make Chicago their fu-
ture home.

Macon, Ga. — The Idle Hour Nurseries
recently completed the erection of three
large greenhouses, which have been
planted with carnations. Most of the
material for the houses was furnished
by the Foley Mfg. Co., Chicago.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

OCTOBBB 17, 1907.

INDIANAPOLIS.

Current G>ininent.

The Indianapolis Florists' Club met
on the evening of October 9, at the South
Side Turner hall. The meeting was well
attended, forty members being present.
After a short business session, all ad-
journed to the bowling alleys. There are
hopes of forming an Indianapolis flo-
riets' team that will make it interesting
to all comers. A spirited bout of boxing
enlivened the proceedings and terminated
a very pleasant evening.

The State Florists' Society will hold
its fall show November 13 and 14, at the
conservatory of A. Wiegand & Sons.
Premium lists may be had by applying
to the secretary, A. F. J. Baur.

We had several light frosts last week,
but no damage was done to outside stock.
Roses and carnations are now making
nice growth and there will soon be a full
supply of good flowers. Another week
will see plenty of mums on the market.
S. /

NEV ORLEANS.

A few days of fresh weather are bring-
ing the market to a better condition and
also giving a check to the chrysanthe-
mums, which at one time looked as if
they would be too much open for No-
vember 1. The demand for flowers and
decorations has also started and will keep
on improving.

U. J. Virgin and others had a few
good decorations for the opening of
stores on Canal street.

Richard Eichling has again full charge
of U. * J. Virgin 's greenhouses. The
forcing of bulbs, lilies, callas, etc., to sup-
ply his store is his principal business
and his stock of decorative plants is in
good condition. Mr. Eichling is build-
ing a nice little home to receive his bride.
The wedding will soon take place.

B. M. Wichers, of Gretna, across the
river, is multiplying his stock of nephrol-
epis. He has quantity, variety and also
quality and is disposing of them to re-
tailers around New Orleans. M. AI. L.

Erie, Pa. — M. T. Wilkins has a pros-
perous business. He is using eight
houses at present and expects to put up
20,000 feet of glass next season.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

OCTOBBR 17, 1©07.

^ - DETROIT. ' -r ' '

The Market

Business was considerably enlivened
last week. There was more funeral work
than before. The demand for flowers for
parties, receptions, etc., is also increas-
ing with the coming of cooler weather.

The market keeps well cleaned up on
all stock. Beauties are selling well.
Very few find their way to the local
commission houses, as none are grown
for the wholesale market in this vicinity.
Koses meet with a ready sale. The best
stock at present is Kaiserin, Bride,
Bridesmaid, Richmond, Meteor and La
Detroit. The La Detroit is growing
smaller in size, but still sells well.

Chrysanthemums are selling fast.
There was a good demand for white and
pink for funeral sprays. Yellow was
also in big demand, as yellow and black
are the colors of the Tigers, who won
the American League pennant. Mums
are bringing from $1 to $2.50 per dozen.

Carnations are arriving in fairly large^
quantities, but, the demand being good,''
all are disposed of at prices ranging
from $1 per hundred up. Enchantress,
white, red, etc., is of fairly long stem,
but Lawson is still short.

Very fine valley arrives daily from
MounC Clemens and Canada. Smilaz,
ferns, asparagus, fancy ferns and south-
ern smilaz are plentiful.

Variout Notes.

I presume that by this time the whole
world knows that the Cubs defeated the
Tigers for the world's baseball cham-
pionship. This is a sad story, but we
still have the American Lea^e pen-
nant, and in honor of the event the city
of Detroit presented the players with a
huge tiger made of flowers. W. B.
Brown was the artist 'and he did his
work well. The body of the tiger was
over six feet long. It required in the
neighborhood of 800 mums to cover the
frame. The head was of papier-mache
and this was also partly covered with
flowers. The black stripes were produced
with black immortelles. The whol^ was
mounted upon a large platform covered
with sod.

Many palms, ferns and other plants
are being sold, now that the people are
coming back to winter quarters.

Howard W, Metz, of the firm of C. H.
Fisk, Chicago, was in this city last week,
attending to the burial of his mother,
who died in the east at the ripe age of
90 years.

J. Gammage, of London, Ont., paid
this city a visit last week. H. S.

fireeohonse Heating.

HEATING IN COLORADO.

I wish to build a house 21x50 feet,
three feet and a half high at the sides
and ten feet to the ridge. I want to
heat it with hot water. How much 2-
ineh pipe would be required and how
would you arrange it? W. D. E.

•The house in question, 21x50, will re-
quire fourteen 2-inch pipes the length
of the house. If the house is to be ar-
ranged for bottom heat, with three
benches, I would suggest that you ar-
range to use a flow and four returns
under each side bench and a flow and
three returns under the middle bench.
Connect the expansion tank to the main
return near the boiler and give it twelve
feet or more of elevation.

L. 0. C.

PIPING IN WASHINGTON STATE.

Will you please advise me as to the
heating of my greenhouse? It runs east
and west, is 11x41 feet and eight feet
to the ridge. The walls are three feet
high, double boarded and filled with saw-
dust. The house will be used for bed-
ding stuff. The temperature here is sel-
dom very low, 15 degrees above zero
being considered cold. I have been plan-
ning to put in a Magee round heater.
What size of hot water heater would be
required, and what size and quantity of
pipe! W. W. Li.

For a house of this ske I would sug-
gest the use of 2-inch pipe. Carry a
2-inch flow under the ridge to the far
end of the house, there divide and re-
, turn by four 2-inch radiating pipes un-
der each side bench, making nine 2-inch
pipes the length of the house. The
boiler should have a rated capacity of
750 feet. L. C. C.

PIPING IN MISSOURL

My greenhouse is 20x50 feet, twelve
feet to the ridge, and the sides are five
feet four inches high, including sixteen
inches of glass. There are also sixteen
inches of glass in the north end. The
house runs from north to south, and is
exposed on all sides, except at the south,
where the boiler-shed and work-room are
attached. I have a Wilks hot water
heater, 30x48 inches. It has two 3-inch
openings for flow pipes and three 3-inch

PIPING IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO.

I have built an addition to my green-
houses and have installed a steam heat-
ing system, but we are not satisfied with
the way it works. We can get steam
up to twenty pounds or more, but as soon
as it is turned on, the system runs down
to nothing and we cannot raise it.

I have a return flue boiler, nine feet
six inches long, with thirty-six 3-inch
flues. It is fitted with the improved
shaking grates, and the grate surface is
two feet six inches by three feet six
inches. This is intended for the heating
of two parallel, connected houses, 21x100
and 18x100. The steam is taken from
the dome of the boiler through a 2-inch
pipe and carried ten feet to the end
of the greenhouses, where there is a cross-
head with a IV^-inch flow leading across
to the larger house, and connecting, by
means of 1 14 -inch pipe, with four coils
of 1^4 -inch pipe, three pipes in a coil,
running the full length of the house.
The other flow on the cross-head is 1%-

inch pipe, and conveys steam to three
coils of 114 -inch pipe, three pipes in a
coil, for the smaller house. The boiler
is in a pit, walled in on both sides.
The return pipe is 2-inch. There is a
fall of two feet six inches from the coil
to the water line of the boiler, which
makes a fall of four feet six inches from
where the steam enters the coil to where
the water enters the boiler. The coils
all have a fall of one inch in twenty
feet.

Have I pipe enough to heat in zero
weather? What can I do to make a bet-
ter circulation? Would it be better to
change to a water system, and if so,
would 2-ineh pipe do to convey the flow
under the ridge? How many coils of
114 -inch pipe, three in a coil, would be
required in each house, to heat to 65
(legrees in zero weather? H. E. E.

The system of piping seems to be quite
complete. The changes I would suggest
are as follows: Place a 2 %-inch riser
under the ridge of each house; carry
each direct from the boiler to the far
end of the house; there divide by 2-
inch pipes to feed as many coils of 114-
inch pipe as there are benches in the
house, using twelve pipes in the 18-foot
house and fifteen in the 21-foot house.
Keep the coils as close to the bottom
of the benches as possible, so as to in-
crease the height from the water level
of the boiler to the radiating pipes as

much as possible. Place a swing check
valve in the main return near the boiler
and use plenty of air valves on the heat-

is in radiation and in distance from the
water level of the boiler to the radiating
pipes. L. C. C.

CEDAR RAPIDS, lA.

Charles Kline, an employee of I. N.
Kramer & Son, fell into a boiler pit at
the greenhouses last winter and sued the
firm for damages, asking $2,000. A jury
in the county court, after being out for
three hours October 10, returned a ver-
dict in favor of the defendant, laying
the costs upon the plaintiff.

Kline claimed to have been injured as
a result of falling into a pit in the
Kramer greenhouses at Marion, Decem-
ber 24, 1906. Dr. Muirhead was the^
plaintiff's physician and was called to
testify in behalf of the plaintiff. He
said that on December 25, 1906, the
plaintiff called and exhibited abrasions
on the knee and the elbow. There was
also a contusion on one hip which the
plaintiff said had been caused by his
falling into the pit. As a result of
these injuries plaintiff asserted that he
had developed a severe case of stomach
trouble. The symptoms were g^eat
nausea and a continued ravenous appe-
tite.

The accident happened while the de-
fendant was making some repairs in his
boiler room, which necessitated the dis-
connecting of certain steam pipes in the
pit into which plaintiff claimed to have
fallen. Plaintiff testified that he fell
clear to the bottom of the pit by reason
of its not being properly covered. He
emphatically stated that he did not get
his feet wet while in the pit, although it
was thoroughly established by the evi-
dence thai at the time he claimed to
have fallen into the hole there was scald-
ing water in it to the depth of eighteen
inches. It appears that the jury could
not reconcile a vigorous appetite with
nausea nor see the connection between
continued stomach trouble and the abra-
sions on the elbow and the knee. There
also was some wonder in the jury room
as to why the plaintiff didn 't get his feet
wet if he fell into that hole which
contained eighteen inches of hot water.

THE GOLDEN VAY.

The Eeview is indebted to E. W.
Gaehring, 1805 Frankford avenue, Phila-
delphia, for the photograph from which
the illustration was prepared. The Gold-
en "Way is evidently a sublimation of
the more plebeian gates ajar, for the
path we all must tread is seen leading
up to the pearly gates, which are just
closing after the departed in the same
old way. It was designed by Mr. Gaeh-
ring and was six feet high, thirty inches
broad, and twenty-six inches deep. The
flowers used were lavender sweet peas on
the inside of the arch, blending har-
moniously with the dark pansies on tho
border of the Way. The star was of
Enchantress carnations. The remaining
flowers were Bride roses, Baby gladioli,
giant candytuft, valley, and Harrisii
lilies in the base. It was an excellent
conception and a pleasing variation of
this old-time favorite floral design.

THE USE OF ACCESSORIES.

Some florists still think that because
the leading florist in the town uses many
more supplies, in proportion, than the
others do, it is because he has the money
to put into them. It is not that way at
all. The man who makes most free use
of the things which add to the attrac-
tiveness of his stock is the one who gets
the business, and any florist easily can
'lemonstrate for himself how the use of
suitable embellishments adds to his
trade. For instance, take the item of
violet boxes. Some retailers still send
out violets in any sort of small box, but
the one who knows his business has a
stock of special violet boxes, and usually
he has more than one grade. It never
fails that where one florist sends out
violets nicely put up in a box made for
the purpose, and his neighbors use any
ordinary box, or none at all, the trade
soon gets all into the hands of the one
who has the enterprise' to do things
right. What applies to the small matter
of a few pennies for a violet box ap-
plies to the larger items. No retailer
can afford to send out anything but at-
tractive packages.

DAILY ORDERS.

In almost any city it is possible to
work up a considerable number of daily
orders, which will average a good profit
if the whole season is considered.
Wherever a dining-car is started out on
its run, some florist in that town has,
or can get, an order to place a bouquet
on each table in the car each day, or
fo keep the car's ferndishes in shape.
In supplying cut flower work of this
kind any grower can afford to make an
attractive price, because he can stipulate
that he is to use whatever kind of flowers
are most abundant with him.

Many of the first-class hotels now
make it a rule to have a few flowers on
the table for dinner each evening, and
the leading restaurants are adopting the

same idea. The florist can arrange to
supply a daily change, at least during
seasons of abundant supplies, the same
as is done with the dining-cars.

Another source of daily, or at least
frequent, orders is the high-class stores
which make a specialty of elaborate win-
dow decorations. A vase of flowers is
the finishing touch in the surroundings

the ordinary. One dealer in table-ware
has a display room where each day a
different set of dinner-ware is shown
on a table fully set. Of course, he must
have flowers to go with his napery. A
leading photographer always has a vase
of flowers on the center-table in the
reception room of his studio. There are
many chances for such orders if one
keeps an eye open for them, and makes
the right suggestion.

LUNCHEON TABLES.

Please give us some ideas as to how
to decorate small card-tables with flowers
for luncheon. D. B.

Because of the fact that the tables
are small, the luncheon decorations must
of necessity be not large. Probably the
most frequent style of decoration for

many a department store window. There
is nothing unprofessional in soliciting
this kind of business.

In the large cities there are hundreds
of exclusive stores, studios, etc., where
an effort is made to do things out of

the purpose is a small, low bowl filled
with small flowers like violets or valley
at this season, or sweet peas or pansies
in spring, loosely arranged. This might
be elaborated by scattering flowers on the
cloth, or by streamers of smilax leading
out to points between the plates; or in-

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

The ' conservatory at the Sign of the
Bose, the artistic flower shop of Charles
Henry Fox, Philadelphia, is on the sec-
ond floor, above the store. It is reached
by a winding stair, is very light and
always beautifully arranged. The two
views shown in this issue show the con-
servatory as it appeared at Easter. Un-
der it is the demonstrating room, where
Mr. Fox shows just how an arrangement
will look, and in the rear, his workshop.
This conservatory is strong and well-
built, with cement floors, made, like
many other things about the place, by
the employees. Beyond the conserva-
tory is Mr. Fox's private oflSce, where
he plans his floral arrangements, some-
times aided by a masterpiece of art in
the shape of a watercolor, as an inspira-
tion. Beyond this of3ce is the book-
keeping department.

EUROPEAN REVIEW.

Owing to the cold, sunless summer,
dahlias were in poor form at the early
shows and there was a dearth of novel-
ties. The glorious weather of Septem-

ber changed the aspect completely and
at the later shows flowers were good
and novelties plentiful. J. Stredwick &
Son, St. Leonards-on-Sea, our leading
specialists for several years, are again
on the top with new varieties in the
cactus section.

In England and Germany, and to some
extent in France also, the peony-flowered
dahlias have been quite a feature at the
leading shows and their success is as-
sured, owing to the favor bestowed upon
them by the public. These were raised
by Mr. Hornsveld, a florist at Baarn,
in Holland, who spent seven or eight
years in hybridizing and sent out a
dozen varieties two years ago, followed
by another dozen a year ago. How pop-
ular they have become for decorative
purposes in the gardens may be judged
from the large orders placed with
growers for spring delivery. They are
also beautiful for cut floVer work. A
few of the best are: Nicholas II, pure
white; King Leopold, pale yellow; Paul
Kruger, white grgund flushed rosy red;
Queen Emma, apricot; Duke Henry, rich
crimson, and Dr. von Korken, soft peach.
Hornsveld, the raiser, devotes his time
mainly to the raising of new varieties
and leaves their distribution to others.

Some little idea of the gigantic pro-
portions which the trade in (^vent Gar-
den, London, in chrysanthemums has as-
sumed may be gleaned from the fact
that one grower alone is sending 3,000
dozen specimen blooms daily, varying in
price from 6 cents to 12 cents each.

Novelties in sweet peas offered by the
British growers are not quite so numer-

ous as during the last few years, mainly
owing to the rigorous selections of the
National Sweet Pea Society. St.
George, from Hurst & Son, is one of the
best, standard orange red, wings bright
rose; Elsie Herbert, white petals, tipped
rose; The Marquis, bold lavender
flowers; Evelyn Hemus, distinct, creamy
white, picotee edge rose-color; Etta
Dyke, large pure white, exquisitely
formed; Mrs. Wm. King, an improved
form of John Ingman, warranted ninety
per cent fixity; Nancy Perkins, orange
scarlet; Eosie* Adams, heliotrope; Silas
Cole, deep maroon ; these are the most
promising ones. J. S. B.

CYCLAMEN MITE.

I am in trouble and, like many others,
come to you for advice. I inclose some
leaves and buds of cyclamen, which,
when I place them under a glass, I find
to be infested with some kind of insect,
which is new to me. It causes the leaves
and buds to curl. Can you tell me what
it is and if there is any remedy! The
plants are clean of any ordinary insect.
My treatment for them has been fumiga-
tion, part of the time with red pepper
added. I have also given frequent sprays
of To-bak-ine, but none of these seems to
do any good. The plants are in 5-inch
and 6-inch pots and until about two
weeks ago seemed to be in prime condi-
tion. F. T. E.

Your leaves, as nearly as I can see,
are badly affected with what is conunon-
ly known among cyclamen growers as
cyclamen mite. Although it has now

been troublesome for some years, I am
unaware of any scientific investigation
having been made in regard to it and
so far I have not heard of any grower
who has been able to successfully com-
bat it when it has once secured a foot-
hold.

I know many growers who have had
fine batches of plants ruined yearly by
this pest. It usually shows itself the
most just before the blooming season
arrives. Malformed flowers and de-
formed leaves are certain indications of

its presence. About every imaginable
remedy has been tried, but never, so far
as we know, with anything approaching
success. The only thing I can recom-
mend, and it is certainly a radical rem-
edy, is to destroy your entire batch of
plants and start anew. Probably you
would not be troubled again, although
I know of instances where even this
method has failed. I think that pos-
sibly, if you make a clean start with
seed, you may be spared any further af-
fliction of this kind. C. W.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

The Grower-Retailer.

Although not wishing to trespass, in
the least, on the Retail Florist Depart-
ment of the Review, I venture a few
remarks on the selling end of the car-
nation business as likely to interest
those growers of the divine flower who

retail a portion or all of their product.
The Old Buttercup.

Growers who confine themselves strict-
ly to the wholesale trade are not obliged
to study the tastes of the actual con-
sumer as closely as the retailer, who
must not only keep informed on the
prevailing customs and ever-changing
fashions of the general public, but must
carefully note and carry in mind the

particular preferences of each one of his
customers. To satisfy the varied de-
mands coming from a large number of
persons widely different in their inclina-
tions, there must needs be grown some
varieties now but seldom seen; for in-
stance, the old Buttercup, than which
there has never been a better yellow in
point of beauty. 'Ihis variety's shyness
and late blooming qualities have long
since put it into the class of "also
rans." Besides, yellow carnations can-
not be termed staple, like white, pink
and red. But, with all that may be
urged against this old gem, I am not
prepared to admit that it could not be
grown at a profit under present modes
of culture and at a time when high
prices obtain — solely, bowever, by a
grower-retailer.

The Question of Green.

The question of green to be included
with an order for carnations is at times
a perplexing one, inasmuch as many
buyers assume, either through ignorance
or arrogance, that, as the green has no
value, it is only necessary to ask for it.

That something in the line of green
is needed in arranging a vase of car-
nations for the best effect, no one will
deny; at the same time, its use entails
expense, prejudiced opinions to the con-
trary notwithstanding. But to make a
practice of omitting green in case of
its not being specially requested and

.;^ifc,«,7"s:f!:^:^•.^i

supplying it when specified in an order,
charging the same price in both in-
stances, would seem to be an inclina-
tion toward the false principle that two
wrongs make a right. Either charge ex-
tra for green when furnished or make
the price per dozen high enough to in-
clude it; the latter plan is the better.
And, most important of all, when once
the course is decided upon, keep in the

straight and narrow path; don't deviate,
or you are lost again.

Stevia is a most pleasing accompani-
ment to carnations and can be grown
in various ways. Our plan is to lift
clumps from the open in early Septem-
ber, benching where young carnation
stock will stand later.

More on this subject soon.

Azaleas.

llie importations of Belgian grown
azaleas are coming to hand once more
and, in spite of earlier pessimistic prog-
nostications, are extremely well budded.
These plants, it must be remembered,
have a tolerably long journey before we
receive theih and are in not a few cases
stored too near boilers. As a conse-
quence the balls become dry and there
is a lamentable loss of foliage. As you
unpack your plants, note carefully
whether the balls are dry and soak any
dry ones in tubs of water. If other
work is pressing, these azaleas can be
stored quite close together in a cool,
light shed or greenhouse until you have
time to pot them. In potting, be sure
that you press the soil firmly around the
sides of the pots and leave a good space
for water. It is impossible to properly
water any hard-wooded plant where the
soil comes nearly to the top of the pot.
Yet how often do we see plants potted
in this way!

Nicely bloomed azaleas are always in
demand at Christmas and it is not too
early to start a good batch of them.
Bright colors arc in special demand at
the holidays and there is no finer variety
than the orange-scarlet, Apollo. A

food, very early white is Deutsche
'erle. Simon Mardner, silvery rose in
color, is always popular. Other desir-
able sorts are Yervseneana and Hexe or
rirefly. The last named, which is rosy
red in color, makes an ideal Christmas
plant. It can be flowered as early as
Deutsche Perle and no grower will go
wrong in forcing a good number of it.
Oive the early azaleas a night temper-
ature of 55 to 60 degrees and syringe
freely. Better do a little forcing now
than nearer Christmas.

RhocUxIeodroot.

Ehododendrona are becoming quite
popular as pot plants. They cannot be
had in flower at Christmas, but usually
take well at Easter. You will probably
receive a supply of these with your
azaleas. There need be no hurry about
potting them, for, unless wanted as early
as March, they may as well be heeled in
a deep coldpit until a few weeks before
being required in flower. We cannot
advise hard forcing of these in an ef-
fort to get them in for Christmas. They
will sell much better in the spring and
are good subjects to use even as late
as Memorial day. A few good sorts to
grow are: Lady Clermont, rosy red;
Michael Waterer, bright red; Cunning-
ham's Whitp. fine for early .forcing;

John Walter, crimson; Mme. Masson,
white; fastuosum flore pleno, lavender,
and Sir H. Havelock, crimson. The
large-flowered and beautiful Pink Pearl
is still high in price. It is a great
seller with the bon-ton florists.

Rambler Roses.

The long spell of clear, sunny weather
has been splendid for ripening the canes
on rambler roses. We presume many
florists will lift and pot their plants
early in November. We hope any plants
intended for forcing have had their
shoots tied up in order to secure proper
hardening of the wood. Pot-grown plants
are always preferable to fall-lifted ones,
but nevertheless good results may be had
from fall-potted stock, especially if the
canes have not been allowed to ramble
over the ground all summer. The Crim-
son Bambler has a more erect habit than
the pink varieties and generally ripens
its wood earlier.

The canes of plants which have been

forms, such as Lady Gay and Dorothy
Perkins, have. It is a great pity that
Crimson Bambler has such unattractive
foliage. This drawback has caused
many to plant the pink forms in their
piazzas and arbors in preference to the
crimson variety.

Prepare for Winter.

It may be somewhat premature to talk
of winter while we enjoy such ideal
climatic conditions, but we often see
some snow in October and sometimes
heavy snowstorms occur early in No-
vember. We must therefore be up and
doing if we would be fully prepared for
winter's arrival. We suppose there are
few of us who have not had some work
we had hoped to do before freezing-up
weather, which we have had to postpone.
The same occurs every year. We hope
that all cracked and broken panes of
glass have been replaced in greenhouses
and frames, and any necessary painting
and puttying should be completed with-
out delay. This work can be done com-
fortably now, but it is a different prop-
osition if you wait for snow and ice
and then try, with benumbed fingers, to
do necessary repairs. An abundant
coal supply should be in your cellars,
and if heaters and piping are O. K. you
can then heave a sigh of contentment.

LiUes.

There is still abundant time in which
to pot a good batch of Japanese longi-
florum lilies for Easter. Bear in mind
that this great festival comes late next
year and that there are still six months
to grow your plants in. Your earliest
Harrisii will probably now be showing
buds in sdme instances. You can prob-
ably get a number of these in for
Thanksgiving by forcing hard. Give
them 70 to 75 degrees at night to hurry
them along. Those intended for Christ-
mas may be kept 10 degrees cooier, but
be sure that you can count the buds

Azalea Hexe, or Firefly^ as a Christmas Plant.

kept on the dry side lately should now
be pretty well ripened, but the pink sorts
grow much later and need more time to
plump up their wood. Give the plants
all possible sunshine and allow pot-
grown stock to become quite dry before
watering. You will probably notice
what beantiful, shiny leaves all the pink

forty days before you want them m
bloom. Remember that forcing for
Christmas and forcing for Easter are
two very different propositions. You
have a diminishing supply of sunlight
prior to the first event, with steadily
falling temperature, whereas the reverse
is the case with the latter.

Sweet Peas.

The early sown sweet peas will now be
growing fast and need constant attention
in tying. Continue to grow them co^l
and airy. A night temperature of 45
degrees is better than one 5 to 10 de-
grees higher, although we have seen fair-
ly good sweet peas grown in carnation
temperatures. If you have not yet sown
any seed for a crop to follow chrysanthe-
mums, lose no time in doing so. Fumi-
gate once a week and spray to keep
down red spider, this being especially
necessary where the plants are near the
heating pipes.

Geraniums.

Cuttings put in late in August or
early in September will now be rooted.
Afford water sparingly, so as not to ex-

cite too rapid growth. Where the
plants are in small pots and you are anx-
ious to propagate from them later, more
water may be applied. If the cuttings
perchance are in flats and are rooted,
keep the soil or sand quite dry and give
merely suflScient water to prevent the
stems from shriveling. You can still
root cuttings easily. Give them the full
sun at all times for best results.

Brief Reminders.

Keep watch on the mums as they
flower and be sure your plants are cor-
rectly named before you reserve them
for stock. Have courage to throw away
sorts which are becoming obsolete.

Finish lifting cannas, dahlias, glad-
ioli and similar roots.

Keep Cypripedium insigne in a co^.1

house while in flower. You need not
be in a hurry to cut the flowers, as they
last three months on the plant.

Sow shamrock seed now if you want
good plants for the anniversary of St.
Patrick's day.

Give Moschosma riparium 45 to 50
degrees at night. It promises to be-
come a useful midwinter decorative
plant.

Finish up potting Dutch bulbs in flats
and pans and be sure they are well
soaked with water.

Give Euphorbia jacquiniseflora 60 de-
grees at night. It makes a nice Christ-
mas plant.

Let the berried solanums have pienty
of sun and water. A little feeding will
also prove helpful now.

BEATRICE MAY.

The accompanying illustration shows a
bench of Beatrice May growing in a
house at Florham Farms, Madison, N. J.,
where Arthur Herrington presides. I
have been watching chrysanthemums for
many years, but never before have I seen
such a magnificent sight as this bench
presented. The" reproduction of the
photograph gives an idea of the flowers,
but cannot show the exquisite coloring
or the absolute uniformity of the whole
lot of plants. The foliage of Beatrice
May generally is spotted and poor, but
these plants were shaded somewhat all
summer by the position of the house and
the foliage is very good.

The bench is 100 feet long and has
four rows planted in it, the individual
plants being ten inches apart in the rows.
The plants were grown to single stem
and the loss of flowers is only one-half
of one per cent.

Some growers have intimated that
Beatrice May is not a commercial
variety, but if I were at liberty to give
the price these flowers brought in open
market, many of my readers would not
believe me. Beatrice May is a slow
grower and should be propagated not
later than March, and then, given a fair
show in the bench, it will turn in moje
money than any other mid-October kind
!?Town. Chables H. Tottt.

SOME OF THE NOVELTIES.

This Year's NovelUes.

Already the mail is getting heavy with
inquiries from the enthusiasts as to what
is to be expected in novelties this year,
how they are shaping and so on. By
present indications there will be at least
A dozen good things, some of which I
will mention below.

The best thing to date that is fully
'jpen is Mary Donnellan. It is a beauty,
without a doubt. The color is a rich,

deep yellow, which is a yellow in any
light, artificial or otherwise. The in-
curving petals, many of them, are an
inch wide, giving the flower a massive
appearance, a good deal like a well fin-
ished Duckham. It is a tall grower and
April propagation should be early
enough for it, but Mary Donnellan will
be on hand next year; that is certain.

W. W. Moir is building up a monster
flower and, if I mistake not, will be the
king-pin of the season's novelties. The
stem and foliage are of the usual Wells-
Pockett dwarf grand type, while the
flower is on the Beatrice May style, but
has a stiflfer, heavier petal. W. Moir-
certainly has all the earmarks of a win-
ner. It is pure white in color.

OCTOBEB 24, ld07.

Mrs. Norman Davis is an EnglisI). seed-
ling and it is a beauty. Stock was hard
to get last spring and will be for another
year. It is a rather tall grower, but the
stem and foliage are beautiful. The
flower will be finished in a few days and
reminds one of the old Mayflower in its
best days, twelve years or more ago, only
that Mrs. Norman Davis is twice as large
as Mayflower used to be. The color is
much the same as the latter variety was.

Mrs. H. Eider Haggard is another of
the season's whites that is very promis-
ing. A flower that I had on exhibition
at the New .York Florists' Club last week
was very favorably noted by several ex-
perts present. It is a true Jap, every
petal hanging right down, which takes
away the appearance of size, though the
flower is reaJly well up in size. It is a
very refined flower, without a trace of
coarseness in its make-up.

O. H. Broomhead, previously noted in
these columns, is finishing splendidly. The
color is a rich, deep rose, and early and
late buds alike are full to the center. The
habit is very dwarf. Every bud is com-
ing perfect and we must set Broomhead
down as the best novelty in its color for
the year so far showing.

Mrs. W. Wells is one of the most strik-
ing colors ever seen in mums. The flower
is not very heavy ' at present, though
there is considerable center yet to come.
It is a Jap, and the color, boldly pre-
sented by the reflexing petal, is an
orange shading to vermilion — just the
color of a lovely sunset, such as we often
see in the early fall. I am no color poet
myself, but I found an artist friend com-
posing a poem to Mrs. W. Wells yester-
day. "Soul sister" and "aflBnity" and
other strictly up-to-date words were
being rhymed with "divinity," etc., just
about the time I turned the hose on him.
And who knows? Possibly I may have
destro;^ed the aspirations of an embryo
genius-by so doing. Mrs. W. Wells, in
a collection of forty or fifty kinds, is
easily noticed and admired.

Margaret Codrington is also a peculiar
shade of color and a handsome flower.
It is somewhat on the color of Mrs. Geo.
Heaume, though shading slightly more
to the fawn color. Personally I like this
variety very much.

E. Newman, a Jones seedling, if I re-
call correctly, is a good early yellow. It
was fully open by October 7 and should
find a place in the early division. The
stem and foliage are very good. It is a

Jap instead of & Japanese incurved, and
some people profess to believe that this
type is not good commercially, but it
has never seemed that way to me.

W. Luxford, a Wells-Pockett seedling,
has merit in the flower, but the foliage is
very spotty with me, for some reason.
Another year, with careful selection, we
may overcome that. Oftentimes we can
not tell with only one trial what a va-
riety will be.

Last Year's Novelties.

The novelties of last year are now also
presenting an interesting sight. The
largest one so far is M. Loiseau-Eous-
seau. The color is a light lavender and
has been described as "charming,"
"fierce" and "rank" by different par-
ties, but however much we may differ in
opinions of its color, there can be but
one opinion of its size and that is,
immense.

Dakoma, as a bronze, looks good and
I like it very much. One good thing
about a bronze is that it is almost always
fine in foliage and stem.

Souv. Scalarandis, from buds August
'25, is making very beautiful flowers.
This variety is a good yellow. The petals
are hard and not affected by dampness
in any degree. Scalarandis should rank
high with the commercial grower who is
looking for the kind that will grow it-
self. It will not go over three feet high
and will give a flower that can be kicked
all over the place without damage.

Mrs. A. T. Miller and Mary Godfrey
are both gone. They will be grown con-
siderably in the east next year commer-
cially, but they are too early to hold in
very good shape for the shows.

Miriam Hankey, which I am claiming
as the best of last year's varieties, is
only now showing color. It is a splendid
grower and, I believe, has a great future
as a late pink. I had it in excellent
shape last year at Thanksgiving; in fact,
the flower illustrated in my list this
spring was not photographed till Novem-
ber 30.

Eeginald Vallis is finding many ad-
mirers. The flower as a whole is entirely
distinct, and the long, narrow petals, of
deep rose, hanging down to the foliage,
are very striking.

Clay Frick, by reports to date, is mak-
ing good in all sections where Duckham
is well done. I look to see fine competi-
tion with this variety at som6 of the
eastern shows. Charles H. Totty.

SECRETARY WILSON'S OPTIMISM.

Secretary Wilson, of the Department
of Agriculture, began an address at Syra-
cuse, N. Y., October 23, as follows :

"The American people are prosperous.
Labor is all employed at the highest
wages paid in our history.

"Skill is in demand in all lines of in-
dustrial activity.

"Capital is increasing and active.

"Every industry in the land is ex-
tending.

"Labor from other lands looks to us
and comes to us.

"Schools are overflowing.

"Our transportation systems, the best
in the world, are unable to meet the re-
quirements of commerce.

"Our manufacturers more nearly sup-
ply home demands than at any time in
the past and sell heavily abroad.

"The farmer feeds the people as no
people ever before were fed and sells
in foreign markets a surplus of $1,148,-
J000,000 worth of his prouucts. Prosper-
ity quite up to the average of human
success attends intelligent management
of farm affairs nowadays. No class of
people live better, enjoy life more, or
contribute as much to the wealth of the
republic. ' '

. REINBERG'S NEW PLANT.

There are a number of reasons why
Peter Eeinberg, Chicago, decided to put
up his 1907 addition at a location re-
moved some two miles and a half from
the old plant at Summerdale. In the
first place, land is commanding a
premium at the old location. Since hav-
ing started the 1907 addition he has se-
cured a couple of acres adjoining the old
plant on North Eobey street, but there is
no large contiguous piece of vacant prop-
erty. Again, the question of soil supply
is important, for all soil must be hauled
several miles. Also, where the future
expansion is to be there must be side-
track facilities, where coal, manure, etc..
can be unloaded from the cars directly
into the buildings. All the conditions
are met at the new location on a 40-acre
tract just off Lincoln avenue, close to
the Peterson Nursery. The soil is excel-
lent. The switch is there and the locality
is one of the best north of Chicago for
growing cut flowers. It "is perhaps a
mile or more west of the Wietor estab-
lishment.

at the new location this summer consists
of eight houses 21x300 feet. The style
of construction is the same as at the old
place, except that wooden gutters are
used, the Dietsch pattern, supported on
iron posts seven feet high. The ridges
are thirteen feet, so that it is practically
one house 168x300. One of the ac-
companying illustrations is from a photo-
graph taken with the camera standing in
one corner of Ihe range. The houses are
as light as modern building methods can
make them, with narrow gutters and
wide glass, but the strength is shown in
the picture by the number of roof sup-
ports. In view of the lens there are
seven rows of gutter supports, 2-inch
pipe, set seven feet apart. This makes
a total of 294 gutter posts. In each
house there are two lines of purlin sup-
ports; 1-inch pipes seven feet apart.
This makes a total of 672 purlin sup-
ports, igiving 966 pipes for the 50,400
square feet of ground covered, or prac-
tically one post for each fifty-two square
feet of ground, which ought to be enough
to hold the roof up or down, according
to the weather.

One of the interesting features of the
place is the heating apparatus. There
are two 60x18 return tube boilers. These
are second-hand boilers which formerly
<iid high pressure duty in the boiler-
room at the Auditorium Annex. Now
they are expected to carry fifty to sixty
pounds' pressure, which is choked down
to whatever the weather requires by
means of the Eclipse pressure regulating
valve, the same device the John Davis
Co. has installed in many greenhouse
plants. By a simple adjustment of
weights on this valve the grower can
have any pressure he wants, from one
pound up. In each house there are two
IV^-inch flow pipes carried on the purlin
posts. Under each of the outside benches
in each house there are two 1 ^-inch re-
turns, giving six pipes to a house. The
return of condensation is taken care of
by two Morehead traps. It is worthy of
note that Mr. Reinberg has discontinued

the use of hot water since he put in the
first Morehead trap. He finds that it is
economical to carry the high pressure on
the boiler, the check valve makes it easy
to thus maintain a steady pressure, and
with the return trap the circulation is ex-
cellent, permitting the use of the mini-
mum of heating pipes. The Martin grate
is installed under these boilers, as it has
proved a coal saver. Pocahontas coal is
used and the narrow openings between
the grate bars prevent a waste such as
occurs with the use of this fuel in the
old-fashioned, wide, stationary bars. No
matter how heavy the load^ the grates
rock easily and return to the center posi-
tion of their own accord. It takes but
a little shaking, if done frequently and
regularly, to keep the grate clean.

In each house there are three benches,
each five feet wide. These are put lower
than in the older houses. The entire
plant is given to carnations, the range
housing some 64,000 plants. With .six
147-foot benches in each house, the
varieties are as follows: Enchantress,
twelve benches; Lawson, twelve benches;
White Lawson, five benches; Lady
Bountiful, five benches; Boston Market,
eight benches; Cardinal, two benches;
Robert Craig, two benches. This leaves
the bench along the west wall for propa-
gating purposes, and the character of the
wall shows that it is expected to come
down shortly, when an addition is made
to the plant.

The houses were built by Mike
Matchen, who has charge of all building
and repair operations for Mr. Reinberg.
The foreman in charge is Jacob Geimer,
who had charge of the M. Winandy place
while Mr. Reinberg was one of the trus-
tees in bankruptcy. The plants are not
as large as those in the seven houses
given to carnations at the Summerdale
place, because they were planted later,
after a season of growth in a heavy soil
outdoors. But they are dean and healthy
and give promise of a better crop than
Mr. Reinberg has had in the last two
years.

TREATMENT OF SCHIZANTHUS.

I have quite a few schizanthus in 4-
inch pots, three plants to the pot. Will
you kindly give me a few cultural direc-
tions for carrying the plants up to the
flowering season? Morris.

Keep the plants well pinched to make
them stocky. Grow along in a cool and
airy house. If you are crowded for
room they will do well in a frame from
which frost can be excluded. Shift into
6-inch pots before the roots become too
much matted. The variety Wisetonensis,
which is of dwarf habit and the best
adapted for pot culture, can be flowered
in 6-inch pots by feeding well. A few
stakes will be needed before the flowers
open. If larger plants are required, give
a further shift into 8-inch pots. Varie-
ties like grandiflorus, oculatus and retu-
sus albus can be grown into quite big
specimens by allowing them 10-inch to
12-inch pots and staking out well, but
as a rule smaller plants in 6-inch to 8-
inch pots are preferred. Grow cool and
in full sunshine all the time and afford
abundant ventilation. The plants are
speedily ruined in a close, stuffy atmos-
phere. C. W.

TEMPERATURE FOR KILLARNEY.

What temperature suits Killarney, and
is it a strong feeder? I have some nice
looking plants, but cannot get over four-
teen inches of stem. We try to keep
a temperature of about 60 degrees ht
night. J. G. T.

The best temperature for Killarney
is 58 to 60 degrees, and at this tem-
perature it will stand high feeding. Kil-
larney is not noted for its long stems
and at this season fourteen to sixteen
inches is considered a good marketable
length. As the season advances the
stems will lengthen, but it is a rose re-
quiring at all times plenty of air; other-
ytiae it is inclined to shed its leaves.

BiBES.

MILDEW AND RUST.

Please give me the formulas for the
following remedies: Sulphur solution
to spray for mildew; kerosene emulsion;
blue vitriol solution to spray for mil-
dew and rust.

Would you advise feeding roses that
are badly mildewed?

Is the wet soil under the rose beds
partially responsible for the mildew on
the roses? E. G. S.

I do not know of any way of pre-
paring sulphur to be used as a spray
which would be effective against mildew.
The most effective way to use this is to
use it either in the powder form by
blowing it over the foliage with a pow-
der blower, or to make it into a paint,
in the proportions of two parts sulphur

and one part air-slaked lime, and apply
it to the pipes. By closing the venti-
lators for a couple of hours during the
coldest part of the night and repeating
this once a week, mildew cannot exist
in a house.

Kerosene emulsion is prepared and ad-
ministered as follows: Soap, finely
sliced and dissolved in warm water, two
ounces; kerosene, one pint; water, ten
quarts. When the soap is liquefied, re-
move from near the fire and add the
kerosene. Agitate with a force pump for
five or ten minutes, until it becomes a
homogeneous mass, from which the
kerosene will not separate on standing.
Dilute with water in proportion of six-
teen to one for roses and most other
greenhouse stock. Apply with a
syringe.

Blue vitriol chemically is designated
in the U. S. pharmacopoeia as Cupri sul-
phas and in the British work as sulphate
oi copper, and may be obtained by heat-
ing sulphuric acid and copper together
and dissolving the soluble product in
water, then evaporating the solution un-
til crystallization takes place on cool-
ing.

Ammoniacal copper carbonate, which
is the ordinary remedy for rust, is pre-
pared as follows: Copper carbonate,
one ounce; ammonia, enough to dissolve
the copper; water, twelve gallons. Dis-
solve the copper carbonate in the am-
monia and dilute before using.

Copper carbonate is rather costly, but
can be prepared in the following man-
ner: Copper sulphate, two pounds; soda
carbonate, two pounds and a half. Dis-
solve these separately in about two gal-
lons of water, pour together and stir
thoroughly. A precipitate of copper
carbonate will form and sulphate of
soda will remain in solution.

Roses should never be subjected to

heavy feeding when they are suffering
from any trouble or are in a weak con-
dition, as this only aggravates the
trouble.

Muddy bottoms of benches, caused by
defective drainage, are a fruitful source
of disease, as they create weakness by
root inaction, and where weakness oc-
curs disease is certain to get a hold.

RiBES.

PARKER'S ASTERS.

With some of the aster growers the
season of 1907 has been an exception-
ally successful one in spite of the fact
that weather conditions were not at all
favorable. One of the growers who
have profited by the result of years of
care was A. S. Parker, of Stoneham,
Mass., whose field of asters, photo-
graphed in September, is shown in one
of the accompanying illustrations. The
picture shows only a part of the field,
there having been over 40,000 plants
altogether. The smaller view is from
a photograph taken of one day's pick-
ing and shows 5,500 blooms ready for
bunching for the market.

The variety is one of the branching
asters, a strain worked up by Mr. Parker
through a number of years of painstak-
ing care. He has made it a point to save
seeds only from plants of the best health
and habit. No seeds have been saved
from other than perfect flowers and the
result was that in his immense crop this
year practically every bloom was sal-
able at a remunerative price.

ACCELERATING PLANT GROVTH.

Experiments are being conducted by
B. H. Thwaites in the gardens of the
Koyal Botanic Society, Eegent's Park,
London, in respect to the culture of
plants by the aid of the electric light.
The plants receive the benefit of the
ordinary sunlight " during the daytime,
and at night a powerful electric light en-
ables tlie plants to carry on the work
of carbon assimilation.. The light is ob-
tained from a powerful lamp which
travels slowly from one end of the house
to the other, and returns again by an
automatic process. A small engine gen-
erates the electricity, and the surplus
heat from the engine is utilized for the
heating of the house in which the ex-
periments are conducted. The cost of
the gas, which serves the double pur-
pose of heating the structure and driv-
ing the generating plant, is lower than
that of the fuel consumed in an ordinary

THE READERS' CORNER.

Paris Green for White Fly.

In "The Eeaders' Corner," on page

0 of the Review of September 26, I rec-
ommended as a remedy for white fly
a mixture of flour, sugar and Paris
green, applied to the sides of the benches.
In reply to an inquiry as to the pro-
portions of the ingredients, I would say
that I was not guided by any exact
formula, but used enough Paris green
to make the mixture look green, and put
in a liberal quantity of white sugar. It
is evident that the flies were attracted
by the sweetness, for you cannot catch
flies with vinegar. We thought that
melted white sugar, with the Paris green
in it, would do the work, but when
mixed with flour it kills both the sow
bugs and the white flies, and is more
easily applied than in liquid form. As

1 mentioned before, we tried bran — not
corn, as the printer made me say it —
and we also tried brown sugar, instead
of white, but the bugs wrinkled their
noses at it. Next, I suppose, they will
insist on a pure food law. I conclude,
from my observations, that the lower
creation, like the higher, likes plenty
of sweetness. Therefore, don't save the
sugar. J. G.

Gas Factory Near Greenhouses.

We shall be very much obliged if some
reader of the Eeview will give us any
information as to whether a gas plant
within a hundred feet of greenhouses
would have an injurious effect on the
stock. We are threatened with the erec-
tion of a large gas plant close to our
greenhouses and are much afraid that
the manufacturing of the carbureted

water gas, which this company is intend-
ing to put out, will make the growing of
flowers impossible. Any information on

Tfie Peachblow Hibiscus.

In the Review of October 3, page 7, I
noticed a paragraph concerning the
hardiness of the Peachblow hibiscus
which may be misleading. The Peach-
blow, as we know it in Kentucky, is
not a form of H. Moscheutos, but of
H. Sinensis. It bears beautiful flowers

almost continuously, but it is a tender
shrub and needs the protection of the
greenhouse through the winter in Ken-
tucky and farther south. S. M.

Another Remedy for Sow Bugs.

In answer to T. A. G. 's inquiry in the
Review of October 3, concerning sow
bugs, I would offer the following simple
recipe, hoping it may be of some help to
him. It has helped me.

Take common white granulated sugar,
any quantity, and mix Paris green
through it until the granules are well
coated. Then sprinkle indiscriminately
under the benches, or anywhere where
their haunts are. Mix dry, and watch
results. A. P. M.

Results bring advertising.
The Eeview brings results.

Procrastination in small matters is
the thief of good results in many a
grower's greenhouses.

It costs little money to keep a green-
house establishment clean and in order,
but a great many growers seem to think
the cost in effort is excessive.

The progress being made by Pelieano,
Rossi & Co., San Francisco, as illus-
trated by the picture of their new store,
on the Pacific Coast page of this issue,
shows that the trade is rapiaiy re-estab-
lishing itself in even better shape than
before the great fire.

Readers are advised to cut out and
preserve the article on exterminating the
white fly with hydrocyanic acid gas,
which appears on page 48. In spite of
the fact that the formula has been pub-
lished scores of times, almost daily
requests are received for it.

The Wisconsin shippers of lycopodium
are asking 6 cents to 7 cents per pound,
and one asks 8 cents. Little green is
coming out of the woods, but with open
weather there is likely to be enough
stock to go far at present asking prices.
However, jobbers are not anxious to
book further orders until they have fully
covered their advance orders.

DAMAGES FOR MRS. BAARTMAN.

Mrs. Baartman, widow of H. C. Baart-
man, who was drowned by the foundering
of the steamer Berlin while crossing
from England to Holland last spring,
brought an action for compensation
against the Great Eastern Railway Co.
In the London courts she was awarded
$7,500. Mr. Baartman was a partner in
the jrm of Baartman & Koning, bulb
growers, Sassenheim, and was returning
from a business trip. According to the
Horticultural Trade Journal, the surviv-
ing partner, J. W. Koning, in giving

evidence stated that in 1905 the net
profits amounted to $5,000, in 1906 to
$7,500, and deceased's share this year
would probably have exceeded $5,000.
Mr. Baartman was a life member of the
Society of American Florists, and was
widely known in the United States, as he
had made many annual trips to this
country in search of orders for bulbs.

BREITMEYER IN INSURANCE.

A number of well known men at De-
troit are organizing the American Na-
tional Life Assurance Company and have
chosen Philip Breitmeyer as president.
The company is to be a legal reserve
company, capitalized at $250,000, and
the home office is to be in the Breit-
meyer building, at Detroit. The com-
pany plans to issue all forms of non-
participating poLcies, believing that the
present affords an excellent opportunity
for a company in which the policy-holder
will know in advance exactly what he is
to pay and what he is to receive. Ed-
ward G. Brazier, .the secretary, is the
life-insurance expert of the organization,
and it is said Mr. Breitmeyer took an
interest in the company and became its
president because of hia friendship and
confidence in that gentleman's knowl-
edge of the business. In turn, several
florists have displayed their confi-
dence in Mr. Breitmeyer 's leadership by
taking stock in the company. At pres-
ent $100,000 of stock is being marketed,
shares of $50 selling at $75 each. The
$100,000 is to be deposited with the state
treasurer in Michigan, and the company
will^ start out with a large surplus.
George H. Luther, who is at the Hamil-
ton Club, Chicago, representing the com-
pany, says that enough insurance is
pledged to assure the company's success
from the start.

THE DEATH ROLL.

John R. Davy.

John R. Davy died October 18, at his
home at Stillwater, Fla. About twenty-
five years ago Mr. Davy erected a large
range of glass on his farm at College
Hill, Cincinnati, O. At the same time
he opened a retail store on Fourth street,
Cincinnati, under the name of the Cin-
cinnati Floral Co. He did a large busi-
ness and prospered fairly well. He was
well known and well liked by the trade.

Mrs. Magdalena Trausch.

Magdalena Trausch, the widow of the
late Peter Trausch, died Saturday, Oc-
tober 19, at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Peter Risch, at Evanston. The
funeral was held October • 22, at High
Ridge. Mrs. Trausch was 84 years of
age. Her family was among the oldest
of the market gardeners north of Chi-
cago and her sons are thought to have
built the first greenhouses ever erected
in that vicinity for the growing of win-,
ter vegetables,

Margaret Collins.

Margaret Collins, wife of, George Col-
lins, died at the Ravenswood hospital,
Chicago, October 17, after a short illness,
and was buried October 19 from the
family home at 228 Summerdale avenue.
She was 47 years of age and leaves one
son, almost grown to manhood. Mr. Col-
lins is widely known in the trade, as he
has been general foreman of the Peter
Reinberg establishment during the whole
period of its wonderful expansion.

There are varying reports as to the
volume of business in the last week.
Certain houses say that trade has kept
up first rate, the volume of stock
handled compensating fully for a reduc-
tion in price, so that aggregate sales
have been ahead of last year. Other
houses, however, say that business slack-
ened materially in the latter part of last
week, and that the beginning of this
week shows little improvement, daily
sales running below those of the same
days last year.

The feature of the market in the last
week has been the remarkable increase
in the supplies of chrysanthemums. The
blooms now being cut were at least two
weeks later last year anjj the supply now
is so heavy that prices are less than
they were a year ago. In fact, it may
be said that the chrvsanthemum market

is decidedly weak and that growers are
not likely to realize as much for this
season's cut as they did last year. But
then, it must be remembered that last
year was an especially good one for the
mum growers and was the cause of a ma-
terial increase in the number planted for
this season. There is some exceptionally
good stock in the market, but it takes a
fine flower to bring $3 per dozen at
present, and $1.50 to $2.50 is the price
on good stock.

Fine weather has largely increased
the receipts of roses and the abundance
of chrysanthemums has decreased the
demand, with the natural result that
prices are down. Beauties continue to
be rather less than the demand, but all
other roses are abundant. The quality
generally is all that the most particular
buyer could ask.

The same factors which have affected
other departments of the market have
reached the carnation, but the effect is
not s<' **-ioiig)7 felt because there has

beeii a scarcity of carnations thus far
in October. The weakening which has
taken place only brings the market back
to normal. The quality of the carna-
tion is improving steadily and stems are
now of good length, but plants are small
and cuts likely to be late.

The week has seen a considerably bet-
ter market for violets, but the receipts
have increased in proportion, so that the
supply continues a little ahead of de-
mand. Valley is abundant but selling
well. Several growers are now cutting
new crops of Easter lilies from retarded
bulbs, fine stuff and in good demand.

There is a good business in greens.
"Wild smilax is reported selling better
than ever. Bronze galax is scarce, most
houses asking $2 per hundred and refus-
ing to pick over the bunches. All other
greens are plentiful.

where in this issue, says : * * The Chicago
wholesalers may look forward to a big

Poehlmann's Plans.

John Poehlmann, president of tlie
Poehlmann Bros. Co., says it is too early
to say anything definite as to the com-
pany's plans for next year's building
operations, l)vit admits that things may
so shape themselves that a pretty good
sized range will go up. From other
sources it is learned that the company
is negotiating for ten acres of land ad-
joining its Plant A and that the jdans
contemplate the early erection of one
of the largest additions the Poehlmann
Bros. Co. ever has put up.

Flower Show Pktu.

The executive committee of the Hor-
ticultural Society held a meeting Octo-
ber 22 at the office of Manager George
Asmus in the First National Bank build-
ing, to settle details as to the approach-
ing flower show. The decorative scheme
of Jens .Tensen has been accepted and
Mr. .Jensen ap})ointed to carry it out.
The committee has accepted many ideas
which the press agent thinks will go far
toward insuring the interest of the daily
papers and of the public. One of these
is a voting contest for a display of house
plants, which is to be given to the pub-
lie school receiving the most votes.

Manager Asmus says he is assured of
more exkibits than ever before, and a
greater variety. A large attendance of
those in the trade at outside points is
expected, and the Florists' Club will
give a banquet to trade visitors, as
usual, during the show.

Various Notes.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111.,
was in town October 18 to attend a
meeting for the discussion of details of
the research to be conducted at the
State Agricultural College, with the ap-
propriation secured by the greenhouse
interests from the last legislature. It
will be remembered that the bill pro-
vided for a committee from the State
Florists' Association to advise the col-
lege officials as to the direction of the
research. There has been some delay in
getting action because some of the
])owers-that-be at the college want to
rent greenhouses and make the matter
experimental in every sense of the word.

C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's, has
been on the sick list for a couple of
flays during this week.

D. C. Knoble, of Columbia City, Ind.,
was a visitor October 19.

Reed & Keller, of New York, have
asked local florists to ascertain the
whereabouts of A. L, Barnett, for many
years on the road for them. Mr. Bar-
nett has been working in this vicinity
for some weeks. He had a large line of
samples at the Great Northern hotel, but
it is said has not been there since Oc-
to1>er 12. It is feared he either wfts
taken suddenly ill or met with an ac-
cident. O. J. Friedman took charge of
the samples.

Joseph Guranka, for many years a
wire worker with the Kennicott Bros.
Co., died October 22.

H. W. Buckbee, Eockford, 111., has be-
gun his annual shipments of chrysanthe-
mums to E. H. Hunt.

John Sinner says that the prospects

with Sinner Bros, are better than ever
before. The carnations are a little late,
but all the stock looks well.

Wietor Bros, have considerably in-
creased their planting of the Joe Hill
rose. It is liked so well that one or
two leading retailers take the entire
product.

L. Coatsworth sold two lots in his
new addition to New Castle while there
last week. He says stock in the Benthey-
Coatsworth greenhouses never looked
better.

C. W. McKellar says telegraph orders
for orchids are coming in from all over
the west and that he looks for a much
increased demand this winter.

E. C. Amling says the mum season is
treating him especially well, for his
Iwoks for the first three weeks, of Oc-
tober show an increase of over thirty
per cent compared to last year.

.John Kruchten says carnations in the
neighborhood from which he draws his
supplies will soon be giving splendid
crops.

H. F. Halle, whose headquarters now
are on Sheridan road, says that in his
experience the season is opening later
and later each year, because the society-
people stay away longer each year as
their wealth increases.

Peter Reinberg, Leonard Kill and A.
('. Spencer represented the trade at the
big banquet given the world's cham-
pions at the Auditorium Annex October
17. P. J. Hauswirth had the decora-
tions, which were of Sunrise roses, of
course furnished by Reinberg 's.

and Maids this year are grafted stock,

in their second year. The production
thus far has proven heavy and the Maids
in particular have been giving a good
account of themselves. A. H. BucUong
is reported a firm convert of grafted
stock.

Martin Peterson says business is ex-
cellent on the northwest side.

The Drexel Floral C!o. has been in-
corporated with $1,000 capital stock.
The incorporators are William T. Un-
derwood, Delavan B, Cole and Alvin L.
McElroy. The articles of incorporation
state that the purpose is to conduct a
flower and confectionery business.

It is reported that August Poehlmann
is one of the stockholders in the new
life insurance company of which Philip
Breitmeyer, of Detroit, is president.

President H. N. Bruns has appointed
the following committee to represent the
Florists' Club at the flower show at the
Coliseum beginning November 6: John
P. Degnan, chairman; A. L. Vaughan,
Alex Henderson.

Logan Kring, of Fairbury, 111., was
in Chicago Sunday and with E. C. Am-
ling went out to Hinsdale to see Edward
Ering, who is resting up in a sanitarium
there. They found him much improved.
Kring Bros, are among Mr. Amling's
consignors. They have been exception-
Jilly successful with carnations the last
two seasons.

O. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett re-
turned October 20 from a month's stay

at Mount Clemens. Mrs. Bassett was
greatly improved in health.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heyme have re-
turned from a trip to Europe. Before
sailing they sold out their store at 5422
South Halsted street to a man in another
line of business. They now have se-
cured another store only a few doors
away and arc fitting it up as a first-
class retail establishment.

C. A. Samuelson says business has not
opened this fall as early as it usually
does. One thing that hurts him, and it
will soon affect W. J. Smyth's transient
trade, is the repaving of Michigan ave-
nue, which is now in progress south of
Twenty-second street. Good progress is
being made, but in the meantime travel
is diverted to Prairie avenue.

Last week some of the wholesalers
were in receipt of a telegram which
read: "Our bookkeeper is coming.
Treat her well. Smith & Fetters. ' ' Miss
Lucile Esther Schmitt arrived in due
course and it is hoped was pleased with
her reception. Certainly she pleased the
wholesalers, not only personally but by
her knowledge of flowars and buying.
She ordered a lot of stock and since her
return to Cleveland has been wiring for
much more. Evidently business is good
in Cleveland.

The wholesalers' employees are more
than pleased with the prospects for their
second annual reception on the evening
of October 30. Columbia hall and Fitz-

gerald's orchestra have been secured, the
same as last year. The sale of tickets
has been ahead of anticipation.

Carl N. Thomas arrived October 21,
after having spent the summer on his
farm at West Springfield, Pa., and be-
gan selling with the A. L. Bandall Co..
in the middle of the morning rush, it
is said, right where he left off in the
Easter rush last year. At any rate, he
bottled up an abundant supply of energy
for the winter.

Stollery Bros, report trade on the
north shore about as usual this season.

Jensen & Dekema are sending the E.
F. Winterson Co. blooms of the Winsor
carnation with stems fully twice as long
as most growers are cutting. They gave
their stock indoor summer culture.

Geo. Eeinberg and his bride have re-
turned from a fortnight's wedding trip
to Colorado.

Hugh Wood is one reader of the Bj:-
viEW who does not read it, paradoxical
as that may sound. His sight has become
so bad that he has the paper read to
him each week by a nurse. He has been
in the hospital five times for operations
on his eyes and will have another op-
eration soon.

F. W. Timme, Jr., formerly with the
J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., at Jo-
liet, is now with Vaughan & Sperry.

Percy Jones states that he has a lease
under negotiation which will probably
on November 1 take the last vacant stand

in Flower Growers' market. He says it
will be the first time since the market
was opened that there has been no space
for rent.

In the obituary column this week the
death of Mrs. Peter Trausch is recorded.
She was the grandmother of John P.
Risch, of Weiland & Risch, and well
known to the oldest of the gardening
fraternity.

E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros.
Co., says the demand for wild smilax
has this season been practically double
what it was a year ago.

Zech & Mann have been receiving this
week some especially fine Clementine
Touset chrysanthemums. The variety
has become a standard, and every
grower has it, but there is a great dif-
ference in the quality of the stock.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. has had the best
success on record this year with Mrs.
Bobinson chrysanthemums. As they
have it this year none of the new whites
can beat it.

The Geo. Wittbold Co. now has an-
other big decoration on hand at the
Chicago Athletic Club.

The growers are now spending their
leisure moments experimenting, against
the time of need, in the application of
the Baur calyx clip, the plyers and clips
ordered months ago having just been de-
livered.

D. T. Murphy, of Manistee, Mich.,
was a visitor October 19.

Mrs. George Collins died October 17,
as reported in the obituary column this
week. She was a woman of splendid
character and Mr. Collins has the sym-
pathy of everyone in the craft.

C. Keller, of Granton, Wis., is visit-

ing his daughter, Mrs. Henry Bornhoeft,
372 Monroe street. A dinner party in
honor of the old gentleman was given
October 20 by John Bornhoeft and on
Monday evening he was entertained by
Fred Meyer..

EXETER, N. H.

The thirteenth annual flower show of
the New Hampshire Horticultural Soci-
ety was held in the town hall, Exeter,
October 15 to 17. The Exeter Rose
Conservatories, Thomas Carter grower,
took first prize on roses and a special
prize on Richmonds. W. S. Perkins, of
Exeter, took first prize on carnations,
violets, mums and decorative plants.
Fred Churchill, of Exeter, and Charles
Davis, of Dover, took second and third
prizes.

Thomas Carter is cutting some excel-
lent Richmonds at the Exeter Rose Con-
servatories.

Fred Millbury is spending ten days
in Brooklyn.

Samuel Neil, the veteran florist of
Dorchester, is spending this week with
W. S. Perkins, of Exeter. They leave
next week for Deerfield for a week's
hunting. Mr. Neil's sons, Thomas and
Charles, are in charge while he is aw^y.

not think the floral exhibit was what it
should have been for a state fair.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Tlie market was quite strong all last
week. The wholesalers say all lines of
stock were in good demand at fair
prices. The retailers, too, were busy al-
most every day. Funeral work kept
them occupied more than weddings and
other social work, which has not been
any too plentiful since the season
opened.

This week there are a great many
strangers, who represent society else-
where, in town attending the interna-
tional balloon race and this should cut
quite a figure in dinner decorations, for
our society folks are much interested in
these races.

Stock was not heavy October 21, but
as the weather is fine, warm Indian sum-
mer having arrived, a crowded market is
looked for in almost everything by the
end of the week. Roses are not selling
so well and it is only at cheap prices
that the wholesaler has any chance to
clean up on them. All stock is of fairly
good quality, but the demand for first-
class grades has fallen off, owing to the
call for chrysanthemums, which, of
course, are the most seasonable flowers.
Of these the market is not ^s yet over-
stocked with extra fancy quality. The
best of those that come in do not bring
over $3 per dozen.

Carnations are much better and bring
top price, which is $3 per hundred. The
bulk of them, though, are sold for $2.
Kirkwood consignments are coming in
fine. Violets are of improved color and
longer stems. They arc selling much

last week. Greens are plentiful.

Variotu Notes.

The Mullanphy Floral Co., on Grand
avenue, is sporting a fine new delivery
wagon all in white. The company was
busy last week with wedding decora-
tions.

Henry Felter 's Lexington avenue place
is a fine sight. His chrysanthemum
plants are of the best this year.

Charles Kuehn is handling a lot of
fine longiflorums, which sell well. Am-
mann's consignments of roses are among
the best that come to this market. Can-
field and Belle Miller's consignments
are also large and fine.

The F. J. Foster Floral Co. is making
daily fine window displays of cut chrys-
anthemums in the New Century building.

The Metz Floral Co., on Page avenue,

has changed hands. It is now known
as the Gallagher Flower Shop. It is a
neat store and in a district where busi-
ness should be good.

Kalisch & Sons, at Taylor and Delmar
avenues, are this week making a fine dis-
play of chrysanthemum plants; also cut
blooms. Ed Kalisch reports trade in
blooming plants as being excellent.

J. F. Wilcox, of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
is consigning to this market a lot of
extra good Brides and Maids, also Amer-
ican Beauties. These are handled by
W. C. Smith & Co.

Frank J. Fillmore is now all through
piping his houses, the work being done
by young Frank, who is there "with the
goods." The place is now ready for a
large season's business. Everything in
season can be found there.

At H. G. Berning's shipping trade is
reported good.

President William C. Young, of the
Florists' Club, was out hustling for the
club last week and says he will have the

banner attendance at the November
meeting.

A visit to the new quarters of the St
Louis Seed Co., at Fourth and Lucas
avenues, shows a fine store with plate
glass front, with four large floors above,
in which a fine display of bulbs, seeds
and birds is made. Walter Eetzer says
that the firm is doing a large business
in fall bulbs and that business has
shown a large increase since the opening
of the new store.

The Schisler-Corneli Seed Co. also is
making a great show of fall bulbs. Mr.
Schisler says the sale of fall bulbs has
been surprisingly large this fall.

The Engelmann Botanical Club held
a meeting October 14 in the Central
High School building. C. H. Thomp-
son, of the Missouri Botanical Garden,
presided. Mr. Kellogg, of East St.
Louis, gave an interesting talk on bot-
any. C. Fulgraf, of the Missouri Bo-
tanical Garden, lectured on the emigra-
tion of plants, which was of some im-

The Market

Business in cut flowers has been quite
good of late and chrysanthemums have
not yet overwhelmed the market, al-
though they are now exceedingly abun-
dant. Quite a variety of the queen of
autumn is now offered. In addition to
such earlies as Polly Bose, Pacific,
Adele, Monrovia, Halliday, Ivory, Touset
and others, some of the midsea.son and
even late ones are seen, Bonnaffon be-
ing noted on several occasions. Few-
fancy prices are being made, $2.50 to $3
per dozen being the top-notch figures.
Roses continue to improve in quality and
have been plentiful, due to the continu-
ance of clear skies. Prices are, if any-
thing, inclined to sag a little.

Carnations also have been coming for-
ward in increasing numbers, but have
sold quite well for the season. Numer-
ous society weddings have helped to re-
lieve the market of late.

Violets are plentiful, but are not yet
in special favor. A large proportion are
being picked outdoors, many growers
having only started to house their plants
of the single sorts. LiKums are rather
scarce. Some cosmos, tuberoses, gladioli,
mignonette and snapdragon are arriv-
ing, but only sell moderately well. As-

paragus and ferns remain about the
same. Supplies of boxwood and other
greenery are now coming to hand.

for commercial growers.

The next meeting of the Gardeners''

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

The Florists' Qub.

At the annual meeting of the Spring-
field Florists' Club, held October 14,
the charter president, John M. Good,
called the meeting to order and after
tha'hking the members for hearty co-
operation during the first year of the

club's existence, introduced the presi-
dent-elect, George H. Mellen, who dis-
tributed fragrant cigars.

Mr. Mellen spoke in appreciation of
the honor conferred upon himself, con-
gratulated the club upon the good work
accomplished and outlined plans for the
ensuing year.

Vice - President - Elect Charles W.
Schmidt beamed approval in his genial
"Sunny Jim" smile, while George D.
Leedlc and Leman Bradford, respective-
ly, assumed the duties of secretary and
treasurer, the latter taking in charge
a balance of $82.43 turned over by Ms
predecessor, Roy McGregor, who reported
all bills paid.

Standing committees were then an-
nounced by the president, as follows:
Program, John M. Good, Leman Brad-
ford and Christian Binning; enter-
tainment, Chas. W. Schmidt, Opha Jack-
son and Ed Kriegbaum; membership,
Chas. M. Niuffer, Wm. H. Reeser and
Bert C. Blake; grievance, Frank E.
Good, Chas. W. Unglaub and John A.
Doyle; publicity, Geo. D. Leedle, Roger
n. Murphy and Harry C. Reeser.

The names of Albert K. Hahn and
Jessie M. Good were proposed for mem-
bership.

The subject of "Civic Improvement"
was quite generally discussed, it being
freely conceded that for the greatest
plant shipping city on earth, Spring-
field was yet considerably lacking in
the matter of central beauty spots and
well kept yards, both front and rear.
The utilization of vacant lots for the
growing of something other than weeds,
if nothing better than potatoes, was ad-
vocated, and the planting of a bed or

two of caunas or similai* ornamentals
on the esplanade in place of a few slabs
of cement was suggested, for which some
of the floral concerns would be willing
to supply stock gratis, if need be, in
order to make a start in arousing pub-
lic spirit on the idea. Mention was
made of the effect which might be pro-
duced by photographing a few back
yards of prominent citizens, well kept
and otherwise, and printing half-tone
cuts, as has baen done by some of our
leading journals; the sharp contrasts
would prove quite surprising, and it be-
hooves the "prominent citizen" to clean
up and plant something before the club
turns loose its civic improvement com'
mittee, which will be announced at the
mooting in November. G. Dale.

All other flowers are much better in
quality and quantity, especially roses
and carnations, though they are by no
means at their best yet.

J. Bennett has a splendid lot of ferns
on hand, which find ready sale among
the different florists.

NEVYORK.

The Market

The week opens with a chill in the
air, betokening the coming of the frost
king. Already the snow has fallen on
the mountains near us, and we feel the
breath of winter. Everybody welcomes
the frost and business will soon feel
the thrill of better times and condi-
tions.

History repeated itself last week, in
producing about as dull and discourag-
ing a condition as the market has known
in a generation. The depressing state
of affairs in the financial district re-
flects itself in the flower market more
(Quickly than in any other line of busi-
ness. It is the men who make fortunes
rapidly in Wall street who are the back-
bone of the leading retail florists' trade
of New York. Society comes back this
week to the big city, the opera season
is to open, and November is booked for
weddings innumerable. The coming
weeks ought to be full of prosperity for
all.

The wholesaleio complain of slowness
of collections and are inclined to get
together and form a protective associa-
tion for their mutual benefit.

All stock arriving in the cut flower
market now is of splendid quality.
Beauties are abundant and, while the
mums remain, 25 cents will doubtless be
the top, with few commanding the high-
est quotation. Maids and Brides may

go to lower figures before the week is
over. The street is ablaze with the
chrysanthemum display. Every day is
adding to the quantity received. Prices
are gradually waning; some are cut in
two. The grade that last week brought
25 cents now commands only 15 cents,
and so on down to as low as $2 per hun-
dred. The street merchants are taking
advantage of their opportunity for dis-
play and the outdoor exhibit is worthy
of the admiration of the passing
throng.

Gardenias are advancing. The prom-
ise for their popularity this season is
assured. Orchids are abundant and of
great variety. The demand is steady.
Shipments to other cities increase and
retail windows are incomplete without
a vase of them.

Violets begin to fill their old place in
the daily shufSe. Prices are better and
the wisdom of the middle of October for
the first shipments, is fully demon-
strated. For a month their existence
has been a menace to their popularity.
If growers would only learn their les-
son and remember it, next year the first
violets sent to the wholesale markets
would not come before October 15.

The oak is proving itself the popular
autumn tree. Its foliage, beautiful with
varied coloring, serves many decorative
purposes and brightens the windows of
every retailer. J. P. Scherer finds an
enormous demand for oakleaf roping and
has sold many thousands of yards of
it for the large house and casino dec-
orations. There is a glut of smilax and
asparagus, and prices have fallen.

Dahlias, tuberoses, gladioli and, this

coming week, cosmosj have all played
their parts and rung down the curtain.

Fellouris a Bankrupt.

Anthony J. Fellouris, wholesale dealer
in evergreens, 52 West Twenty-eighth
street, has filed a petition in banitruptcy,
with liabilities $11,892, and nominal as-
sets, $2,218, consisting of cash, $5u;
accounts, $543; fixtures, $125 and con-
tingent half interest in damages for ter-
mination of a lease. Of his liabilities,
$8,750 are contingent for rent x>t No. 52
West Twenty-eighth street. He owes
$402 for wages to two employees and
$2,325 to twelve men in various parts
of North Carolina for evergreens.

Various Note*.

J. K. Allen has an idea of a home for
the New York Florists' Club which
meets with general approval, the base-
ment to be used by a wholesaler, the
first and second floors for club rooms,
library, meetings and recreations and
the upper floor for offices. A location
is available that, presents an opportunity
that may not come again so favorably,
and the club's committee and its pres-
ident are giving the project serious con-
sideration. It is the best scheme that
has ever been suggested for the purpose,
and its accomplishment would double
the club's membership in a year.

Moore, Hentz & Nash are selling large
quantities of fine celosia plants, in values
ranging from 50 cents to $2. There is
a great demand for them.

John Young, Frank H. Traendly and
John I. Raynor visited Walter Sheridan
at the hospital last week and report

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Our Home Coming week was a suc-
cess, though business at times was al-
most at a standstill. Thousands of vis-
itors took advantage of the good time
and little attention was paid to busi-
ness. However, judging from the large
(Quantity of flowers used in the many
parades, someone was doing business, but
there was little demand for carnations
and roses. Chrysanthemums were seen
made up in fine bunches. Our market
has a glut of flowers, which is due to
the large quantity of dahlias and cos-
mos. We are having light frosts, but
little damage is done and some of the
growers are cutting the outdoor blooms
and storing them away. Very few out-
door blooms will go to waste this year.

Chrysantheqinms are abundant ; they
move slowly, white in particular. The
pink varieties move a little better.
Some of the mum growers are wishing
for a heavy frost to do away with the
outside flowers. Carnations are coming
in a little more regularly, Roses are
plentiful. Violets are slow in coming
in. A few callas are making their ap-
pearance. Hydrangeas are still on the
market. Ferns and palms are beginning
to move nicely. Greens of all kinds seem
to be enough to meet the demands.

DETROIT.

ThtMuket.

From all indications, business was
good with the store men last week. There
seemed to be a large amount of funeral
work. Plants were in good demand, the
Boston fern seemingly still the most
popular of them all. Stock in general is
scarce and everything on the market
cleaned up nicely at a good price. There
was a good sale for orchids last week,
owing to there being several large funer-
als. Beauties are in big demand.

Of course chrysanthemums are about
the most popular of all flowers at the
present time, and why shouldn't they
bef Stock brought good prices, running
all the way from 75 cents for stock for

work to the fine large Halliday or the
beautiful Clementine Touset at $3 per
dozen. Besides these, there are on the
market such varieties as Polly Rose,
Rosiere, Pacific and Monrovia.

Roses are at somewhat of a premium
at present and naturally are bringing a
good price. La Detroit and Kaiserin are
becoming quite scarce. Short stock sells
readily at from 3 cents to 4 cents, while

Carnations are improving daily and

Green of all kinds is plentiful.

Qub Meeting.

There was a rather slim attendance
at the Detroit Florists' Club's last meet-
ing, as compared . with the previous
meetings. There was no special sub-
ject assigned for the evening and this
was, no doubt, the cause of the smaller
attendance.

A new entertainment committee was
appointed by the president, as follows:
Walter Taepke, chairman; Wm. Hiel-
scher and Albert Pochelon.

The date for the annual trip to Mount
Clemens has been set for November 1.
All arrangements for this outing are in
the hands of the foregoing committee.

Some of the florists' wives or sweet-
hearts have been complaining that there
are not enough ladies' nights, so the
entertainment committee was instructed
to arrange for several for the winter.
The first will take place on the evening
.of November 19, at Harmonic hall. In
connection with it there will be held an
exhibition of flowers and plants by local
growers. A liberal sum has been al-
lowed by the club as prize money. The
exhibition committee, consisting of T.
Browne, Robert Unger and Albert
Pochelon, has the arrangements for this
show in charge. Outside exhibits are
also welcomed.

A resolution was passed to keep on
record at the Michigan Cut Flower Ex-
change a list of all the dead beats who
have stung any of the store men about
town. This list will be open to the in-
spection of all the club members, and
any florist will confer a favor on his
brother florists by sending in the names
of no-pay customers.

Among the Growers.

The writer took a run out to Grosse
Pointe last week. Theodore Damerow
was busy cutting chrysanthemums for
the market. He will have a nice lot
of mums for some time to come. The
growing of violets has been given up for
the present by Mr. Damerow. The

George Rackham's greenhouses, on the

using crutches as a means of getting
around for nearly eleven weeks and
thinks it will be another month before
he will be able to get along without
them. All the stock on this place looked
very well. At present they are cutting
some fine Halliday and Eosiere. The
••arnations look fine. This firm is also
building up a nice local retail trade.

Out on Gratiot avenue Charles Plumb
has a nice span of glass devoted to a
variety of stock. Mr. Plumb was just
potting up a nice lot of palms, which
came through in good shape. A large
stock of small ferns is ready for the
market. Besides roses, carnations and
chrysanthemums, the usual large quan-
tity of bulbous stock is being grown.
The many friends of Mr. Plumb will be
glad to learn that Mrs. Plumb is again
on the road to recovery, after a long
illness.

ing at its building last Thursday,
October 17, and had as the subject of
the day "Town Gardens." J. F. Sul-
livan and E. A. Scribner were the only

tlemen gave the ladies a talk on garden-
ing, which was much appreciated. Mr.
Scribner says this was no easy task, as
the ladies are all well informed and
can ask many unheard-of questions.

Painters have been busy at Breit-
meyer's store the last week. This store
always makes a fine appearance, but now
that mums are in season it looks like a
fairy-land.

J. F. Sullivan has been displaying
some exceptionally fine yellow chrysan-
themums in his window. They are being
shipped from Fort Wayne, Ind.

B. Schroeter had a large wedding job
this week, using several hundreds of the
best mums on the market, a number of
cases of smilax, palms, etc. The color
scheme was white and yellow. This is
something unusual for a wedding, but
the effect was very fine. H. S.

PRICES AND VALUES.

Prices cannot be determined as ex-
cessive or as cheap, merely from an ex-
amination of catalogues. Bulbs or seeds,
or plants of a particular variety appear
much the same as one reads the descrip-
tions in a catalogue, but the samples
offered for sale may vary in quality to
a greater extent even than the prices
asked for them. "We are not concerned
with the particular circumstances in any
case, and have no desire to determine
which firm gives the better value for the
money it receives. It is conceivable that
the firm which asks the lower prices
also supplies the better articles. If this
be so, however, matters may be left to
right themselves, for eventually the pub-
lic will discover which is the best mar-
ket, ,and, having ^obtained that knowl-
edge, will be certain to act upon it. For
ourselves, we cannot pretend to give an
opinion on the .matter, but must leave
the dealers to adjust their prices ac-
cording to the value they place upon the
goods they have to distribute. Their
customers, however, should not hastily
conclude that prices are dear because
they are high in comparison with others,
or cheap because they are lower. If they
are to be judged satisfactorily they
must be compared after a careful in-

MICHELL ADOPTS NEW SYSTEM.

The best informed members of the
trade recognize in Henry F. Michel!, of
Philadelphia, a far-seeing, progressive
business man. His capacity for organiza-
tion, combined with close application,
has yielded remarkable results. From
the simple beginning in the home of an
exploded concern he has in seventeen
years created a seed business requiring
the services of over eighty employees.
The office on the second-story front, from
whence the policy of the house emanates,
overlooks Market street. Mr. Michell was
hard at work at his desk when Phil was
ushered in by appointment. "You want
my age first?" Mr. Michell asked with a
pleasant smile. But Phil was not that
kind of an interviewer; he does not be-
lieve in reporters who ask visitors to this
country about their impressions of
America as they step off the gangplank,
and he does not believe that the garden-
ers, nursery, seed or supply men are in-
terested in personal affairs. So his face
assumed a far-away expression as he an-
swered, "You said something about a
new system." Mr. Michell 's face bright-
ened at once. "The Baker- V'awter Sys-
tem, ' ' he replied, and then came one of
the most interesting discourses Phil has
ever enjoyed.

The Heary F. Michell Co. introduced
the Baker-Vawter system of bookkeeping
in its seed store in the middle of Sep-
tember. The objects of the system are
to expedite the transaction of business
and to avoid errors. It cost the com-
pany nearly $3,000 to make the change,
but it saves three bill clerks, the annoy-
ance and loss occasioned by small errors
and greatly expedites the work of the
order-filling and shipping departments.

The principal points in the system con-
sist in typewriting in duplicate and in
keeping all items of each account to-
gether at all stages of the account. When
an order is received it is turned over to
the person operating the billing machine.
That machine makes three copies of the

order simultaneously, and these, to dis-
tinguish them, are on papers of three
different colors. Yellow is the color sent
to the customer, pink to the order clerk,
while white goes to the office.

Another point in the system is the ar-
rangement for payments by which the
check to be paid for stock purchased is
attached to a statement of amount in the
same way that it is ordinarily attached
to the stub of a check-book. The num-
bers of these checks correspond with the
numbers in the stub-book, which is much
larger than that of the ordinary check-
book, in order to give room for memo-
randa. The system corresponds to all
branches of the ledger and of the order
and shipping departments, and through
its aid every department has already
benefited.

This description is not intended as a
lesson on the Baker-Vawter system, but
simply to give an idea of the problems
arising in handling a large seed business
and how these problems are being met.

DISCOLORED PANDANUS LEAVES.

We write for information relative to
the color of foliage on Pandanus utilis.
Among a lot of seedlings which are now
in 3-inch and 4-inch pots, and all of
which were originally bright green with
red or maroon edges, are a lot of plants
on which all of the foliage has turned a
dull shade of brown. These plants are
otherwise in a desirable condition; they
are appjirently healthy and robust and
are growing rapidly. C. P. N.

at least a sample of the foliage, it is not

easy to say just what the trouble is. If
the discoloration of the leaves is gen-
eral, it would seem to be due to either
thrips or red spider, and a dipping in a
tobacco or tobacco-soap solution would
be likely to do good. Pandanus utilis is
also subject to a leaf spot disease, but
this shows itself in spots or patches
rather than in a general change of color.
The spot is said to be due to a minute
insect that burrows in the tissue of the
leaf, and applications of sulphur have
been recommended as a cure.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Riling: Eastern Market.

The improved varieties of chrysauthe-
mums are much more in demand than
the early sorts, the season of which is
now nearly over. Eobert Halliday, yel-
low, is at its best. Mile. Clementine
Touset leads among the pinks, while
Early Snow is far and away the best
white today.

The outdoor stock, excepting pnly eos-
tfios, is over, and the other flowers on
the list are improved in tone thereby.
Violets are now arriving in much im-
proved form, fragrance, stem and keep-
ing qualities being all there. The de-
mand for them has improved correspond-
ingly. Valley is more plentiful than at
any time during the present month, with
brisk demand. Cattleyas are coming in
well and priees rule a shade lower, al-
though the change from weddings to
suburban debutante teas is in their
favor.

While a few fancy and numerous se-
lect carnations bring the listed quota-
tions, there is no especial demand for
this flower, and anything not of quality
is apt to drag. Whites sell better than
colored varieties. American Beauty roses
are particularly fine, there being more
fancy stock in the market today than at
any time since June. Small roses are
improving in quality. The first grade is
now rounding into form.

The prices realized on early chrysan-
themums, especially of the Pacific fam-
ily, have this year been far below those
of last season. This is attributed chiefly
to thie delayed killing frost, dahlias and
other outdoor flowers lasting fully twelve
days Idnger this season than a year ago.
It is also thought that there are too
many of the medium and poor grades of
early pinks and whiter grown. Yellow
has averaged better.

J. D. Eisele and J. Otto Thilow re-
turned October 19 from a four weeks*

calling at Ware's to see the dahlias,
Paul 's to see the roses and Kochf ord 's
to see his immense range of glass. Then
crossing the Channel, they visited tne
principal cities in Holland, Belgium and
Germany, not forgetting Erfurt, the
home of Mr. Thilow 's relatives. The
trip was in every way most delightful
and thoroughly enjoyed by both tne
tourists.

An Auto Ride.

It was a select little party of four,
with Edward Eeid as chauffeur, who
went out to North Wales to see the
largest greenhouse. Mr. Eeid's guests
were A. B. Cartledge, J. Liddon Pen-
nock and Alfred M. Campbell. The
chauffeur received so much advice as to
the proper turns to make on the way up
that he landed the party at John Bur-
ton's in Wyndmoor. Here a kindly dis-
posed countryman gave further direc-
tions and they reached x>orth Wales in
safety. The house was all there, one
of those things, as Mr. Reid sententious-
ly described it, which must be seen to be
appreciated. After a thorough tour of
inspection the party turned its faces
homeward. Mr. Pennock assured the
chauffeur that he used to call on a girl
at Chestnut Hill and so knew the turns
perfectly. The turns were made just so,
and the auto landed in a private lane,
leading to a country mansion. Some men
appearing in the distance, they speedily
retraced their steps, and finally reached
Lincoln drive. Here Mr. Pennock and
Mr. Campbell agreed that by keeping
the river on your right and going
straight ahead you were bound to reach
the city safely. This was finally accom-
plished (I did not say easily accom-

plished), and when the party reached
Green street entrance the chauffeur an-
nounced that he could now pilot t^om
safely home again.

Morton.

The Highland Hose Co. operates 32,-
000 feet of glass at Morton, in Dela-
ware county. The houses, nine in num-
ber, lie a little east of south, in the cen-
ter of a nearly level meadow. Five of
them were built a year and a half ago,
the remainder added this summer. All
are even span, ridge and furrow, open
between, length 150 feet, width varying
from sixteen to twenty-five feet. The
entire range is planted with roses:
Bride, Bridesmaid, Bichmond and Perle.
Bride and Maid are being tried both
grafted and on own roots. The former
are looked upon with favor by the man-
ager, W. E. Fowler. Lily of the valley
is being forced at the end of the range
next the boiler-shed. Gardenias are also
being tried here. A narrow covered way
at the opposite end is devoted to chry-
santhemums, Major Bonnaffon, to be
followed by Manetti for grafting. The
plant is heated by one eighty horse-power
return tubular boiler. A manure tank,
with paddle and screen for liquid fer-
tilizer, is operated by the gasoline three
horse-power engine that pumps water
from the creek nearby. A vault con-
veniently located is used as a cooling
room, proving most satisfactory even
during the summer. The impression cre-
ated by this plant is of a thoroughly
business-like enterprise, with every de-
tail carefully worked out. The High-
land Bose Co. is and has been a regular
shipper to the Philadelphia Cut Flower
Co. ever since it started in business. So

Dahlias at Dreet't.

I think it was late in the summer ot
1905 that a meeting of the Dreer com-
pany was called to decide an important
question, whether they should continue
having their dahlias grown by special-
ists or should add a dahlia depart-
ment of their own. After considerable
discussion it was decided in favor of the
(iahlia department, for several reasons,
chief among which was their inability to
secure stock that was absolutely true to
name. Sending out roots under a name
or color that proved deceptive was an
annoyance not to be borne by a flrst-

elass house. Ttere were other reasons,
some financial, some expedient," that de-
cided the point, but these it is not neces-
sary to dwell upon. Suffice it to say
that in November of that year, J. D.
Eisele, vice-president of the company,
looked about to secure a representative
to gather the nucleus for their dahlia
department. After due consideration
James T. Clark was selected for this im-
portant mission and was dispatched
forthwith to the scene of his activities.
Mr. Clark brought with him strong qual-
ifications for the work, determination to
go through fire and water to secure his
object, untiring energy, snarp eyes and
an excellent memory. His task was a
difficult one, but it was finally accom-
plished and in January, 1906, the dahlia
house was filled with the first batch of
cuttings. The purchase of the Locust
farm followed, and here the dahlias were
planted out the next summer. The stock
was found to have been mixed and the
work of truing commenced in the fall.
So well was this work done that this
year the immense stock of over 200,000
dahlias, in over 1,000 varieties, is prac-
tically true to name. Mr. Clark, who has
been in charge of this department since
its inception, spent over a we^ this fall

tramping up and down the dahlia rows
truing the stock. Practically the only
serious mistake occurred through the
carelessness of a workman, who, last
fall, threw a single basket of one variety
into the bin belonging to another va-
riety. The method of truing the stock
consists in pulling out any plant that is
not true to label, thus preventing the
possibility of future mixing. Mr. Clark
has become so expert in this work that
he prefers truing the dahlia by leaf
rather than by flower, claiming that
there is less danger of error by this
method, because where one is loo^ng at
the flowers a single plant that may not
be in bloom is much more easily over-
looked.

The Largest Greenhouse.

Every florist has an uncle, some poor,
some rich, some real, live relations, oth-
ers only uncles pro tem., who do busi-
ness under three gilded balls. Phil's
uncle is a real, live relation, whose path
lies in pleasant places and who takes an
amateurish interest in horticulture. This
uncle read an article in a paper — it was
not in the Review — the figures of which
ran something Uke this: "The largest
greenhouse in the world is planted in
American Beauty roses. The owners will
cut 228,000 flowers during the coming
season. These flowers sell at the aver-
age price of 50 cents each and will bring
$114,000. The running expenses of the
plant for a year will be about $14,000,
leaving $100,000 for profit." Phil's
uncle had always talked of starting a
gnreenhouse and getting Phil to mn it;
the only difficulty was that the uncle
wanted a fabulous percentage assured;
but the greenhouse was never built. A
trip to North Wales was arranged
through the courtesy of D. Peurstenberg,
president of the Florex Gardens. Re-
view readers are familiar with the di-
mensions of the mammoth greenhouse
at North Wales; it looked larger than
ever when compared with the smaller
greenhouses now standing beside it. In
front, the brick office with packing and
cooling rooms, dimensions about 40x60,
is nearing completion. In the rear, the
large boiler-shed, containing one marine
and two sciple boilers, aggregating 500
horsfe-power, is also nearing completion.

The boilers are connected and work nice-
ly. The rise in the mammoth house from
the boiler-shed to the extreme end is ten
feet in 575 feet. The boilers are only
four feet below the surface of the
ground. A pump, with ball arrangement,
takes the condensed moisture from the
pipes into the boiler when enough is
collected through a tank. A dressing
room for the men is being built in con-
nection with the boiler-shed.

The Beauties in the mammoth house are
in excellent condition; the first flowers
!ire now being shipped to New York, as
well as to Philadelphia. Mr. Feursten-
berg believes that the atmosphere in this
style of house is conducive to better
growth than in the smaller houses, where
the air cools more rapidly. One-half of
the plants are staked in what might be
termed Philadelphia style, while the other
half are grown in ground beds, the canes
supported by two or three sets of wires
run lengthwise, as is the custom in New
York. The overhead heating has been
tested at Edgely, where it is considered
superior to any other arrangement.

The vastness of such a house as this
enormous concern, which accommodates
45,000 Beauties, is apparent at a glance.
The weaknesses, which brains and skill
will undoubtedly overcome in houses of
the future, are not so apparent; one of
them is the spliced sashbar and the long
stretch for glazing, drip being almost a
certainty with the present method of
iiplicing. Mr. Feurstenberg plans a still
longer house for the near future, which
will, however, be two feet narrower;
that is, 154 feet; this will enable him
to use only one splice for the sashbars
as against two in the present house, as
bars thirty-five feet in length can now
be secured. The bars used in the pres-
ent house are nearly twenty-eight feet
long; the total length of the bar when
in position is eighty feet.

Robert Craig, in complimenting Mr.
Feurstenberg on his courage in erecting
this mammoth house, said, "We are
greatly indebted to you; if this house
succeeds, you will have shown us how
to do it, and if it fails, we are also in-
debted to you because you will have to
foot the bill."

Various Notes.

Samuel S. Pennock and faiiiilv reached

home October 21, after a two months'
absence abroad. Most of the time was
spent at Craig-y-Dou, in Wales, where
the scenery, both mountains and water,
is .very beautiful. A week was spent in
Ireland.

Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, have
sent their first shipment of the new rose,
Mrs. Jardine, to the S. S. Pennoek-Mee-
han Co. They were quickly snapped up
by the bon-ton buyers.

Samuel Ldlley is handling the product
of Eugene Weiss and of Henry Weiss &
Son, both of Hatboro.

George Redlfes addressed the German-
town Horticultural Society's October
meeting on ' ' Native Ferns and Plants. ' '
Wood & Healy, of Hammonton, N. J.,
have been important factors in the dahlia
market during the last two months.

Baltimore shippers have been sending
some excellent dahlias to the local mar-
ket during the last few weeks. They are
received and sold by the curbstone mer-
chants.

Edward Reid is handling some fine
American Beauties.

The Robert Craig Co. has a fine white
chrysanthemum in Early Snow.

The Joseph Heacock Co. reports palm
business as double that of last season for
the three months just past.

Zebulon de Forest Ely, formerly a
well-known seedsman in Philadelphia, do-
ing business as Z. de Forest Ely & Co.,
died recently. A son of Mr. Ely is now
in charge of the mailing seed department
for the H. F. Michell Co. Edward
Reid was Mr. Ely's right-hand man and
when he retired from business Mr. Reid
started for himself as a wholesale florist.

fres., M. H. Duryea. New York; Sec'y and

Peas of the canners' varieties are not
made to seem any the more plentiful by
later reports.

The board of directors of the "Whole-
sale Seedsmen's League was in session
at New York October 22.

Visited Chicago: William T. Emer-
son, of the Western Seed and Irrigation
Co., Fremont, Neb;; A. Mangelsdorf, of
Mangelsdorf Bros. & Co., Atcnison, Kan.

It is reported that certain seed grow-
ers and wholesale seedsmen have indi-
cated a willingness to chip in to help
some reputable seedsman test the consti-
tutionality of the new Wisconsin seed
law.

J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the
Henry A. Dreer corporation, Philadel-
phia, and J. D. Eisele, vice-presiuent
and manager of the greenhouses and
nursery at Eiverton, N. J., returned Oc-
tober 19, from a month's trip to Eu-
rope.

Egbert Livingston, of the Livingston
Seed Co., Columbus, O., has a new core-
less tomato of which he thinks highly.
He was in Chicago last week with a pho-
tograph of a specimen and expects to
oflPer seed to the trade this fall, for their
1908 novelty lists.

The Corn Exposition at Chicago closed
October 19, with the promoters so well
satisfied with the results that already it
is announced the show will be given next
year on an even larger scale. The paid
admissions numbered 60,000, but there
was a deficit of some $20,000.

Near Chicago there are several lots of
asters for seed that are occasioning the
owners much concern. One grower who
figures on realizing $2,000 for his crop
of seed says it took the plants a moAth
longer than usual to come into full
bloom and that the seed is late in ripen-
ing.

The Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Mil-
ford, Conn., reports having just com-
pleted cleaning what it believes to be
the largest crop of onion seed ever pro-,
duced on one farm in the New England
states— 10,500 pounds. F. M. Clark
says: "This is, however, after several
years of disappointing crops."

W. Atlee Buepee will give a dinner
at the Union League Club, Philadelphia,
Saturday evening, October 26, in honor
of Postmaster-General George von L.
Meyer and for discussion of parcels post,
postal savings banks and other subjects
in the line of postal advance. A num-
ber of seedsmen are among the guests
Mr. Burpee has bidden to be present.

Samples of this year's crop of Refu-
gee and other late maturing beans will
^ow a large per cent of undeveloped
eolor and for this reason will be thought
inferior by the majority of the smaller
dealers, who go by the appearance of
the sample. These light-colored beans,
although they spoil the appearance of
the sample, will make about as good a
crop as the well-colored article, as ex-
perience has frequently shown.

IN VISCONSIN.

The potato crop in the vicinity of
Clinton is light and the grain crop gen-
erally is rather poor. Corn has been cut
short by the frost and there will not
be much good, hard corn in this section.

The new seed law passed at the last
session of the Wisconsin legislature, re-
quiring all seeds offered for sale in the
state to be stamped with percentage of
purity and year of growth, is causing
some consternation among seedsmen, as
the law is impracticable in the shape
passed and can hardly be lived up to,
at any rate so far as garden seeds are
eoncerned. L. L. Olds.

Healy Bros., of Belle Center, O., write

THE WISCONSIN SEED LAV.

At its last session the legislature of
the state of Wisconsin added to its
statutes the following sections to regu-
late the sale of seeds in the state:

"Section 1494 — lln. No person, firm
or corporation shall, by himself, his
agent, or as agent or representative of
any other person, firm or corporation,
sell, oflfer or expose for sale or for dis-
tribution upon the general market, any
flowering, garden, vegetable or agricul-
tural seeds for the purpose of seeding,
Bowing or planting, unless the same
shall, when put up and offered in closed
packages, have plainly written or printed
thereon in English the name, kind and
year when grown, and its percentage of
purity and freedom from foreign mat-
ter. If the same or any of them be put
in open packages, sacks or other recepta-
cles, there shall be securely attached to
the side thereof a plainly written or
printed label giving in English the name,
.kind and year when grown, and also its
percentage of purity and freedom from
foreign matter.

PACIFIC COAST.

The Hanford Nursery Co., of Han-
ford, Wash., has been incorporated, with
a capital stock of $40,000. The incor-
porators are John H. Lynch, H. L. Young
and James A. Louden.

PROGRESS AT SAN FRANCISCO.

The accompanying illustration is from
the architect's drawing of the front
for the new building being erected by
Pelicano, Rossi & Co., at 211 and 213
Kearny street, San Francisco. The firm
was located at 225 Kearny street prior to
the big fire of April 18, 1906, so that the
occupancy of the new premises will
bring them back to within half a block
of their previous location. It shows that
they at least have confidence that San
Francisco when rebuilt will have its bet-
ter class of business located much as be-
fore the fire. It is expected that the new
building will be completed by December
1. It will be occupied at once and will
be run in conjunction with the stofe now
located at 1343 Sutter street. In send-
ing the drawings Pelicano, Bossi & Co.

enough and some to spare at a reason-
able figure, and this is the first chance
they have had since the height of the
aster crop several months ago.

Indoor mums, especially of Bonnaffon,
are in splendid shape and are netting
the growers very fair returns. The
white sorts have been eagerly bought up
until the present time, but now they are
not being cleared up quite as fast.

Indoor roses are becoming more plen-
tiful in the stores, but not so much so
with the growers. The quantifies of
chrysanthemums and their popularity, at
the present time have given the roses a
chance to linger longer than usual in
the store windows and one gets a chance
to make comparisons which up to this
time have been impossible. Carnations
are much more plentiful than they were
and partly for the same reason. The
weather continues warm, with no signs
of rain. A shower would freshen things
somewhat, but if it were too severe the
late mums would probably suffer seri-
ously.

Varioui Notes.

J. J. O'Connor has opened a store on
Fillmore street, near the corner of Hayes
street.

Thomas Thompson, the nurseryman of
Santa Cruz, is in town.

H. Gresens, who recently sold out hie
floral establishment, is contemplating s
European trip in a few weeks.

Considerable interest is being taken
by the local growers in the forthcoming
Marin County Horticultural Society ex-
hibition, to be held in San Bafael on
Saturday, October 26. A good show it
promised by the committee in charge.

crop. Everyone hopes from year to year
that there will be something new added,
to our limited stock of varieties that
will be an agreeable change, but save
for two or three sorts that are quite
freely planted this season, there is noth-
ing new to describe.

From the point of quantity, I find
Bridesmaid to be in excess, with Beauty
probably a close second. After these
come Bride, Kaiserin, Caroline Testout,
Liberty, Cecil Brunner, Perle, Ulrich
Brunner, La France, Ivory, Mme. Chat-
enay, Richmond, Presid^ent Carnot and
Killamey. I think no mistake has been
made in this list and in putting them in
the order named.

Some of the varieties that were plant-
ed extensively several years ago are now
entirely discarded or grown exclusively
in the open or under lattice frames. In
this class I might mention Sunset, Gen-
eral Jacqueminot, Niphetos, Rainbow,
Papa Grontier, Meteor, Wootton, Cather-
ine Mermet, White La France, Duchess of
Albany and Belle Siebrecht. The latter
variety, however, I have found is still
grown in a few places, but only in lim-
ited quantities. The other sorts, al-
though good in their classes, have been
entirely superseded by roses that are of
better color and have more desirable
blooming qualities, or can be depended
on to give larger biooms.

American Beauty is still the best in
its class. I might have mentioned in
this regard that the Queen of Edgely
was planted here quite freely some years
ago, as a possible rival to the older rose,
but it has practically been abandoned.
Richmond is forging well to the front
and is quite a favorite with some grow-
ers. I am inclined to think it will be
well planted next season. The great
drawback to any rival for 'the claims
that are given the American Beauty is
that growers who are successful in han-
dling this variety are perfectly satis-
fied to let well enough alone and let
some other grower experiment with a
possibility. So many people have not
found this a money-maker that much
bench room is given over to Brides and
Maids formerly occupied by Beauty.

Of the newer pink varieties Mme.
Chatenay has hardly had a fair trial
here. I saw several beds that looked
well and gave abundant promises for
later on. Killamey does not come up to
expectations in the line of length and
stability of stem. It resembles Belle
Siebrecht in this regard. We are still
short of good yellow kinds. Perle is
not grown in quantity and it is the only
yellow I have seen at all. Of the scar-
let sorts. Liberty holds its place well,
having entirely succeeded Meteor. Some
growers claim to be unable to make a
Paying proposition out of it, and others
think it fills all requirements. La France

TO KILL WORMS IN POTS.

In what proportion should we mix or-
dinary aqua ammonia with water so that
the quantity of water used in watering
the plants once, with the aqua ammonia
added, will kill angle worms without
hurting the plants, or will even benefit
the plants? W. R. W.

We have not tried the aqua ammonia
solution for worms. "While it may work
satisfactorily, we think that by using lime
water you can attain the same results
just as easily and economically without
running any risk of injuring your plants.
All that you have to do is to slake a few
pieces of stone lime and use the clean
liquid to water your plants with. You
will find the worms come out of the
earth at a lively gait after this is ap-

E)lied. There are several special, odor-
ess liquid solutions which can be added
to water to clean out worms and which
are harmless to the roots of plants.

TO KILL VATER CRESS.

Is there any remedy which will kill out
entirely the water cress in a laket The
lake is three feet deep, in a private
estate. H. L. L.

There are many preparations that
could be concocted that would kill the
water cress, but as most of those I can
think of would contain substances of a
more or less poisonous nature, the use of
which might cause injury where injury
was not intended, I purposely omit men-
tioning such.

Lime, if applied in large enough quan-
tity, will answer the purpose, and a
strong solution of lime, sulphur and salt
will do the work still more effectively.
In order to kill the vegetation absolutely
with any of these, some contrivance will
be necessary to get the agency of destruc-
tion at work down at the roots before
much of its destructive properties is

Bags might be used for the purpose.
The bags containing the substance might
be sunk to the bottom and then ripped

CINERAEIAS.

We have had trouble with our cin-
eraria plants. Here are our data: The
seed was sown in April and came up
finely; potted to 214-inch pots May 21;
grew finely until June 15, then began to
die down and all foliage dropped off;
were still in 2% -inch pots, but big
enough to repot to 3-inch. Repotted
some to 3-inch and they died down also;
I do not mean that they all died en-
tirely, for in July and August about
one-third of them started up again and
by October 1 were just big enough for
;5-inch pots, but they do not seem to
grow. Of course, after flowering they
died down, but these plants were in-
tended for Christmas and New Year's
and February sales. Did we sow the
seed too early and the hot weather
cause them to lose foliage? We had the
same trouble last year. Please help us
out. "We have advertised in the Review
this year and have had grand success,
but wish we could have cinerarias to ad-
vertise. H. & C.

Your trouble has been caused by too
early sowing. Neither calceolarias nor
cinerarias can be successfully carried
over the hot summer months and for
this reason seed sowing should be de-
ferred until the end of July or the be-
ginning of August. Seedlings raised at
these dates will grow along steadily
without any check and make fine winter-
flowering stock. Use a light, leaf-moldy
compost to sow the seed in, and in pot-
ting later it will be found that a light,
rich soil will suit them. Loam, well de-
cayed manure and leaf-mold, with some
sand added, makes a compost such as
cinerarias will revel in. The plants
should always be grown in a cold house;
until November they are better in
frames. Use tobacco stems to keep
aphis in check. Shade from direct sun
is necessarv. C. W^.

WORMS IN SOIL.

Is it practical to kill worms in the
soil of raised beds by using water with
a temperature of 150 degrees by ther-
mometer test, or some other degree of
heat? E. G. S.

If it is absolutely necessary to de-
stroy the worms in the soil — and it
rarely is — use the following, which will
effect the purpose without risk: Un-
slaked lime, one bushel; water enough
to slake. Then dilute with fifty gal-
lons of water. Allow it to stand until
the water becomes clear and apply to the
bench. Ribes.

Schoolcraft, Mich. — A company has
been formed, under the name of Crop-
son & Simonds, for the forcing of flowers
and vegetables here on a large scale.
Two greenhouses have already been built,
each 23x100 feet, and, according to pres-
ent plans, several acres will eventually
be covered with greenhouses. Leo Crop-
son and Chauncy Simonds. of Grand
Rapids, are at the head of the company.

Milwaukee, June, 1908.

Peert's Haedt Plant Farms, from
which many American nurserymen have
drawn supplies, have been removed from
Winchraore Hill, England, to Enfield,
Middlesex.

One of the best plants, if not the
best, for a hedge in extremely exposed
places on the seashore, is Rosa rugosa.
In early summer the foliage of this rose
is luxuriant and beautiful. Later, when
in flower, it is simply gorgeous, and later
still, when the flowers have given place
to berries, the effect is almost as pleas-
ing and fully as bright and cheerful.
This last stage continues until winter has
almost arrived.

Sometimes when it became necessary
to fill in and around the trunks of large
trees in changing a grade, iron ban^s
have been used to keep tne soil away
from the trees, leaving a space between
such bands and the bark. It has been
conclusively demonstrated that such a
method for the supposed protection of
the trees is more fatal to them than if
the soil had been put right up to the
bark. This, no doubt, results from the
action of the water which collects in the
space between the bark and the band,
acting in- a manner injurious to the
roots just where they emerge from the
trunk of the tree,

WISCONSIN NURSERY LAW.

At the last session of the "Wisconsin
legislature four new sections were added
to the act relating to the sale of nursery
stock and seeds. That part of the new
laws regulating the sale of nursery stock
is as follows:

"Section 1494— 11m. Any person,
firm or corporation who shall, by him-
self, his agent, or as agent or repre-
sentative of any other person, firm or
corporatioB, sell or deliver, in this state,
fruit trees, shrubs, vines, cuttings, buds
or ornamental plants which are sold,
offered or exposed for sale for planting,
shall, at the time of the delivery of the
same, give to the purchaser a certified
statement of such sale, giving the correct
name, kind and number of each variety
sold and the name and location of the
nursery or place where such trees, shrubs,
vines, cuttings, buds or orn&mental plants
were fully grown.

"Section 1494 — llo. Any person, firm,
corporation, agent or representative who
shall violate any provision of section
1494 — 11m shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and upon conviction there-
of shall be punished by a fine of not less
tnan $10 nor more than $100 for each
and every offense."

MAGNOLIA SEEDS.

Magnolia seeds should be freed of
pulp just as soon as the parting of the
pods is noticeable. This can be done by
mixing the seeds with finely screened
clean sand and allowing them to remain
in that condition about a week, when all
the pulp matter will become decayed to
sucn a degree that in the process of sub-
sequent washing it will separate readily
from the seeds. When the seeds are well

cleaned they should be put in slightly
moist sand and then kept in a cool place
until they are required to be sown.

Although successful sowing of mag-
nolia seed outdoors in the fall is pos-
sible, still the spring is perhaps the
best time to sow the seed in the open.
The seed bed should be covered lightly
with leaves. Where greenhouse space is
available, magnolia seedlings may be
raised indoors by sowing the seeds in
shallow boxes during the latter part of
January, taking care to shade the seeds.
Squares of glass placed over the boxes,
with a sheet of paper over the glass dur-
ing the day, will answer the purpose.
When the seedlings are well above the
soil they should be put into small pots,
not transplanted into other boxes, and
should be kept growing and shifted as
growth progresses. M.

which will probably be the case, we may
find that the people who have from ne-
cessity been sparing in their use of
fruit this season will continue to use it
sparingly, to the great loss alike to pro-
ducer and consumer.

"In working for our own selfish inter-
ests in this case we are also doing a
great good to the public at large.

"It seems to me that your national
organization should take up this matter
and bring it before the state societies
at their annual meetings this winter."

PROPAGATION BY SUCXERS.

In general, propagation by means of
suckers is not desirable because plants
raised in that way have a marked ten-
dency to produce suckers. But this dis-
position can, in a measure, be kept in
check by being vigilant in observing
when undesired suckers make their ap-
pearance and removing them immediate-
ly. This precaution, together with care-
ful cultivation of the plant in order to
induce a full flow of sap in the proper
channels, will do mucb toward the at-
tainment of the desired end.

Some things, such as the raspberry, are
propagt^ted mainly by means of suckers,
and with all of them the mode of pro-
cedure is simple and consists of remov-
ing the suckers with all the roots eman-
ating from them and planting them.
This, of course, should be done at the
time of year the trees the suckers spring
from should properly be transplanted. It
is desirable that suckers for propaga-
tion should be taken up with ample roots,
yet the injury to the parent should be
guarded against. If the suckers emanate
from a thick root, the soil should be
removed and, instead of severing the
root, the sucker may safely be detached
by taking a slice oflf the root with the
roots of the sucker. M.

quince is valuable *a many ways. When

point of brilliancy is unequaled by that

HYDEOGYANIC ACID GAS.

Inclosed in separate cover I send you
a lettuce leaf, infested with a white in-
sect, which causes me no end of troujjle
and loss. The most frequent fumigations
with tobacco do not seem to affect it.
Last season I tried hydrocyanic acid gas
according to your specifications. It
helped only temporarily and it injured
the lettuce to quite an extent. I fumi-
gated in summer with sulphur, but, alas,
the insect is again at work I It does not
seem to hurt the lettuce until nearly
ready for sale, when it commences to
spread rapidly upward, causing the edges
of leaves to decay. Spraying at this
stage is almost out of the question.
Would arsenic be of any use, and in
what form? Or could I use hydrocyanic
acid gas in a mild dose and let it stand
all night? O. E. P.

The little white insect is the white
fly, which has now become a great nui-
sance all over the country. There is
but one sure remedy when once these
pests appear in an establishment. Pre-
pare to battle with them at once and
keep prepared for their return. Cyanide
is the only kind of fumigating material
which will affect them in the least. "We
have tried every known insecticide, but
nothing else will harm them.

Cyanide is not as expensive to use as
most other insecticides, and when prop-
erly used it will not injure plants in the
least and yet will be strong enough to
exterminate all insect pests and keep
your houses clean of them. Any green-
house proprietor not experienced in the
use of this valuable exterminator should
learn at once and educate his employees
in its use. There are some facts abo\it
the use of hydrocyanic acid gas which
have not been published, and through
lack of knowledge or experience many
growers give up using it after the first
unsuccessful attempt. In fact, most men
are only too glad to stop using it, oYi
account of the danger, the gas being as
deadly to human beings and animals as
it is to insects. There is, however,
nothing to fear if the fumigating is done
by careful men who know what they are
doing, and all doors are securely locked
for the night, so that no one gets inside
until morning. Heating pipes should be
set for the night.

Cyanide of potassium is worth about
50 cents per pound and sulphuric acid
about 50 cents per gallon; that is, in
quantity and at whoFesale prices. But
the best way to get it in smaller quan-

titles is to have your druggist put up
the cyanide in 2^-ounce packages, se-
curely wrapped in two thicknesses of
paper. The acid you can buy by the
jug, and the half-gallon stone jars in
which to mix it cost only a few cents
and can be used for years. When you
have these materials you are ready for
business. A still night should be chosen,
when there is little or no wind. Place
the little jars in the aisles, as closely
as needed. Then take a pail of water
and a dipper holding exactly a pint and
put a pint of the water in each jar. Do
not put in the acid until you are about
ready to drop the packages, as it seems
to weaken very rapidly after it is di-
luted with water.

Now see that all ventilators are shut
and all doors locked except those at one
end of the houses, which you are to
use in getting out. Also see that no pet
animals are left inside, and if you have
vegetable houses with bees in them, carry
the swarms out also. Now take the sul-
phuric acid into the houses in a pail,
just as you did with tlie water, and put
just a pint in each jar, also taking care
that your cyanide is not near until you
are ready for it; keep it locked up until
the last moment. You now have a pint
of water and a pint of acid in each jar.
The acid will sputter a little when it
mixes, but is not dangerous unless you
spill or spatter it upon yourself.

You are now ready for the last act.
Take your packages in small tins or
baskets, as many basKets as you have
rows of jars. Let one man take a basket
to the far end of each row of jars; all
drop in the first packages at the same
time, then go to the next jars and so on
until you get to the end of the house
and out at the end door, locking it
without delay.

It is best to have a door-tender, so as
to have no trouble in getting out. Do
not unwrap the packages, but drop them
in with the paper securely wrapped
around them. Do not let the acid spat-

ter on your hands when you place the
package in the jar. Above all things,
do not go back past the jara after you
have placed the packages in them.

It is safe to go into the houses in the
morning and open the ventilators a lit-
tle, although you can usually smell the
gas very faintly. Do not stay in long
until the houses air out a trifle; then go
back and spray the plants. Plants should
not be too dry when fumigated, but
spraying before fumigating is unneces-
sary.

For houses thirty feet wide, six such
jars per 100 feet of house will kill all
the white flies. This might be too strong
for some plants and five jars might be
enough.

THE NEW CARNATION

■V /">•

■V • '' ■■--.♦.-

AFTERGLdW

rWntv beg to announce that we will offer to the trade, the coming season of 1907 and 1908, the new carnatio n
mkm ''^'^E^GI'OW* ^ variety of sterling merit, which is destined to be grown as universally as the Lawson in
j^A^ its time, as it has done exceedingly well wherever it has been tried — in six different sections of the country—
the Far East, West and Middle States— and all report it as an "Ideal" commercial variety, grand in every
way. It won the S. A. F. Silver Medal, for the best flower or plant, at the Monthly Exhibition of the Cincinnati
Floral Exhibition in 1906, and scored 91 points at quite a number of exhibitions held in different cities in the United
btates. IJ; has never failed to score wherever shown. It scored the highest of any seedlings at the exhibition of the
American Carnation Society, held at Toronto in 1907, after reaching there twenty-four hours late from Framingham,
Maes. In color it is everything that the name implies— a brig^ht rosy cerise. In stem it excels any commercial
variety now extant, not excepting Enchantress, being somewhat longer and always rigid. Never weak,. in habit it is
very vigorous, "a Grower's Delight," as it recuperates very readily after planting from the field; also from the sand.
It loses no time in getting to work. AFTERGLOW has been g^^wn for the past season bjr the nnder-
sig^aed and offered by them.

Orders now booked, to be filled in rotation for well grown, well rooted
cnttings, at $g.00 per dosen; tl2.00 per 100; <100.00 per 1000.

The Chicago florists may look for a
large number of orders from New
()rleans for carnations, roses and ferns,
as a good supply will be necessary for
our All Saints' day, but I doubt whether
the demand for chrysanthemums will be
as large as before, as we are coming
every year closer to perfection in flow-
ers of our own growing.

The meeting of the New Orleans Hor-
ticultural Society was held Thursday,
October 17, at the residence of the pres-
ident, Charles Eble. The eighteen mem-
bers present had a splendid time, being
well entertained by Mr. Eble and the
ladies of the house. Perfectly devel-
oped flowers of mums were brought by
Abele Bros, and H. Papworth and can
be taken as a sample of the stock that
many other growers also have on hand.

An exhibit of flowers, not exactly a
regular flower show, will be arranged
to take place during the first part of
next month. M. M. L.

Trade here is excellent. At times it
is impossible to procure enough cut flow-
ers from Minneapolis.

The Litchfield Nursery Co. has added
1,600 feet of glass this summer, besides a
new boiler-room, complete. The firm now
has a good establishment, but cannot yet
i^row enough to supply its trade. Ex-
tensive improvements will be made in
the nursery the coming year and a rose
liouse will also be added to the range.
This firm is now in the market for
perennials and ornamental shrubbery in
q^riTitities. \. K. W.

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

OCTOBBB 24, 1901

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Weddings, parties and funerals have
kept the florists busy for the last week
in fine style. All stock moved freely, and
in spite of the number of mums on the
market nearly everything sold. Heretofore
it has been generally conceded that when
mums start other stock moves compara-
tively slowly, but this has not proved the
case this fall, for everything finds a
ready sale, and lilies have been scarce
for some time. Cosmos has taken the
place of other outdoor stock and sells
well, but after the night of Sunday last
we expect all outdoor stock to be frozen
up. It was the hardest frost this sea-
son and will start the bulb planting and
outdoor stock.

Various Notes.

.John Milley, formerly of the Erie
Floral Co., has bought out the business
of his brother William, who took pos-
session a short time ago on account of
the death of his father. William has
done a good business, but his health
does not permit him to do the work^re-
quired.

Henry Wise, foreman for the Erie
Floral Co., was in town last week, vis-
iting his old friends. This man is very
well named, for there are few things
that get by his notice.

G. W. McClure & Son, the landscape
gardeners of this town, have spread
their business over a wide territory.
They are now submitting plans for the
work to be done at the New York state
Pair grounds. This will be one of the
largest jobs of the year. The associa-
tion is to spend about a million dollars
in rearranging the grounds. R. A. S.

Leetonia, O. — R. K. Stokesberry has
replaced his brick flue with a steam
boiler of sixteen horse-power, doing all
the steamfitting himself. Owing to the
late spring and dry summer, carnations
are not as far advanced as is usual at
this date.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

OrroBKn LM. Um»T

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

Current Gmunent.

There is a good demand for flowers
just now and the supply is none too
plentiful. < tarnations are now of fair qual-
ity; from 25 cents to 50 cents per dozen
retail is the price asked. The stems are
rather short as yet. Roses are now com-
ing in of good quality and Jjil.SO per
dozen is paid for the best. A few vio-
lets are now seen, and with the advent
of cooler weather will be in full bloom;
75 cents and $1 per hundred retail are
the general prices asked.

Mums are now making their appear-
ance. Polly Kose is the variety grown
by nearly all the florists. A. B. Hath-
away was the first among the growers to
havff them in the market. He has some
tine Halliday and Pacific. R. H. Wood-
house and E. Y. Peirce are both in with
fine batches of mums. The carnations
at their places are looking grand.

Fred V. Coull, formerly with E. H.
Ohamberliu, is now with R. E. Nofftz,
the William street florist.

One grower here is advertising cstrna-
tion blooms at 25 cents per dozen retail,
and violets at 35 cents per hundred.

E. H. Chamberlin has a nice window
display of Whitmani ferns and rubber
plants. He reports the sale of bulbs as
very fair.

The regular monthly meeting of the
New Bedford Horticultural Society was
held on Monday evening, October 14, in
the Y. M. C. A. rooms. Ladies were
invited. The topic for the evening was
"The Cultivation of Bulbs Indoors and
Outdoors. ' ' The discussion was led by
Prof. H. A. Jahn.

Among the trade visitors last week
was Patrick Welch, of Welch Bros., Bos-
ton, Mass.

No heavy frosts are reported as yet in
this section. Outdoor flowers are still in
full bloom. W. L.

We have sohl our forty horse-power
second-hand Tx)iler through the adver-
tisemeijt in the Review. — 6. Van

I CONSIDER the Review of too great
value to have it out of ray reach when I
want reliable information. — Georoe W.

The Weekly Horists' Review*

October 24, 190T.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

The cut flower business has not been
all one could have desired the last two
weeks. Dahlias have been here in abun-
dance, and good stock at that, and last-
ed just long enough to create a demand
for them when on top of them came the
early mums. As there have been no
large decorations there was not much
demand for them and the bottom dropped
out of the price the first few days after
they came in. It is to be hoped they
will not get any cheaper this season.
The market is full of them, on sale from
.$3 per hundred upward, but it ^must be
fancy stock to bring $2.50 per 'dozen.
' Beauties also felt the effect and sold
cheaper than at any time this year. We
had a killing frost the night of October
17 and it is to be hoped that prices will
go up from this time on. Boses are in
pretty good shape, but carnations are
^till far short of the demand.

Variotts Note*.

The. retail stores have been compledn-
ing that business does not seem to take
on the usual October life. They all have
more decorations booked than at this
time last season, but the regular store
business is out of whack.

J. B. Murdoch & Co. have removed to
their new store, 714 Penn avenue, and
are ready for business.

John Harris, who runs one of the Fifth
avenue street stands, is a victim of ty-
phoid fever.

H. C. Frick opened his conservatories
to the public October 20 with a display
of chrysanthemums, orchids and be-
gonias.

The great advance in the price of
boxes is causing the wholesalers some
concern and the only way they can see
out is to charge for packing small or-
ders, which will no doubt be generally
(lone.

One of our retail men was compelled
to sue an undertaker last week, for
plants amounting to about $60, which
the undertaker appropriated from a fu-
neral job.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is car-
rying orchids in stock, a new departure
for the Pittsburg wholesalers,

E. Volkwein, who for some year's has
been one of the principal vnre design
makers of this city, is now in charge
of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. wire
shop. Hoo-Hoo.

Cakton, Pa. — Terry Bros, have had
an extra good season and intend to build
a large greenhouse next spring.

fireeahoiise Heating.

FROM A PRACTICAL FIREMAN.

By means of an advertisement in the
Eeview I have obtained a position as
fireman in a first-class heating plant,
with 2-inch flow pipes under all the
benches. There are two boilers and 25,-
000 square feet of glass, and I have no
reason to complain.

I was very sorry to hear of George
M. Kellogg 's loss, at Pleasant Hill,
Mo. This explosion goes to show that
the fireman did not know his business.
Who shut oflf the steam gauge? Was
there a safety valve on the boilers? All
boilers ought to be tested during August
and September, to make sure of safe
pressure. All water glass and pipe
should also be taken apart and cleaned.
And, most important of all, there must
be no cheap fireman, but a licensed fire-
man, who knows his business, and no
florist who owns boilers can get them
insured unless he has a licensed man to
look after them.

As I have fired and run engines for
more than twenty years, perhaps I have
a right to say that I know what I am
talking about. I have asked florists and
other men if they depended on the glass
and gauge, and they answered, "Yes;
that's what they are made for."
"Well," I told him, "your undertaker
is depending on getting you." Then I
asked them, "Why do the boiler mak-
ers make the man-hole oblong?" "So a
man can get in and out easily," they
answered. "Wrong again," I said, "it
is in order to get the man-hole and hand-
hole plates in or out. If the holes were
round or square, you couldn't get the
plates out, could you? A man-hole or a
hand-hole plate must be an inch larger
than the opening, to allow a gasket to
be put on, and that is why the holes and
plates are made oblong."

In my experience as an engineer I
have often had occasion to make hurried
repairs of leaky pipes, and I have found
that a good appliance for this purpose is
what is called the Emergency Pipe
Clamp, manufactured by James McCrea
& Co., Chicago. This is the best thing
a florist can have for stopping a leak.

My experience has also taught me that
the best pump for florists' use is the
Marsh pump. It is powerful and gfives
good service. In cold weather, water-
ing the plants with cold water will chill
them, but the Marsh pump will take the

chill off, as it is built so as to turn the
exhaust steam into the water end of the
pump; hence it warms the water. The
address of the makers is: Marsh Steam
Pump Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

I have also found out that the More-
head steam trap cannot be beaten.

Now about the night fireman again.
There is enough to do looking after the
steam, the water and the temperature,
without his going outside to feed horses,
milj£ cows, or drive the horse to town
in a cold morning, after coming out,
all covered with perspiration, from a
warm house. There is none of that,
however, in my plant, as my employer
will not allow it. All he wants me to
do is to keep a bright lookout for the
heating of his houses.

Feank D. Haebison.

FROM STEAM TO HOT WATER.

I inclose a blue print of my steam
heating plant and would like to know
what changes to make in it to change it
to a hot water system. The boiler is lo-
cated in a cellar or basement and the
bottom of the boiler is five feet below
the level of the returns. The boiler is a
regular steam locomotive firebox boiler,
rated at fifteen horse-power.

The system I now have works well for
steam, but, of course, it requires con-
stant attention and I thought that for
that reason a change to a hot stater sys-
tem would be desirable, provided the
change could be made without too great
expense. I have two houses, connected,
each house 21x107 feet, and two more

your houses during mild weather. A
good plan for you to adopt would be to
run the plant as a hot water plant dur-
ing mild weather in the winter and dur-
ing spring and fall, and as a steam plant
daring severe weather. This can be done
by a slight modification, and without
the changing of any of the piping in
the houses. Connect the present system
with the city water pressure, if this is
twenty pounds or more but less than
fifty pounds. If the city pressure is
more than fifty pounds, install a reduc-
ing valve, 80 as to give twenty-five or
thirty pounds' pressure on the system;
connect this pipe to the main return
close to the boiler, replace all automatic
air valves with simple pet cocks and use
the plant as a hot water plant as above
suggested. I do not think it would be
wise to modify this plant so as to pliBU^e
it on a regular hot water basis, in view
of the fact that you are to erect two
more houses of the same size next year,
which will give you a plant large enough
to justify the attention demanded by
steam. As soon as possible, discard the
locomotive type of boiler you now have
for a regular brick-set or Scotch marine
type of return tube boiler. You will find
them more economical and they will re-
quire less attention. L. C. C.

RELATIVE SIZE OF PIPES.

Will three 3-inch returns, each sev-
enty feet long, be too much for a 2-inch
flow! Will a 3 -inch main supply three
2-inch flows? S. H, B.

One 2-inch flow is rated &s suflScient
to care for 400 square feet of radia-
tion; the three 3-inch returns, seventy
feet long, contain only about 200 square
feet, so there is ample capacity in the
2-inch flow. If the 2-inch flows are each
less than 480 feet long, a 3-inch main
will supply them on a steam basis. If
hot water is used, everything should, if
possible, be kept within 100 feet in
length. L, C. C.

The Market.

Last week was marked by a continua-
tion of good business and the prospect
is that there will be no let-up. While
some days are better than others, the
general average is well up to other
years, if not a trifle better. Funeral
work constitutes the main demand and
it is the general report from all retail
men that society is unusually quiet this
fall.

The mum is holding the lead, as is
usual at this season of the year, but I
hardly believe that it is averaging as
high a price this year as last. They are
selling well, though, and we have no
kick coming. This market is well sup-
plied with them in all sizes and colors.
Pink is a little scarce and consequently
sells out best and averages the highest
price. Small white blooms, being good
for funeral work, are in good supply
and sell out well. The mid-season va-
rieties are beginning to make their ap-
pearance now and some fine stock is be-
ing handled. Three dollars a dozen is
about the best price now.

Carnations are scarce, as they have
been all the season. "While there is a
gradual increase in the supply, the de-
mand more than keeps pace with it and
the price is consequently high. The
quality of the stock is good. Boses,
with the exception of Beauties and
some other red varieties, are plentiful
and selling as well as can be expected
during the mum season. .The quality is
good« Violets are coming in larger
quantities and the quality is good.
There is not a very heavy demand for
them, though, and they do not bring a
very high price. Other stock remains
the same as reported last week.

THE RETAIL

FLORIST

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

A Special Easter Ba(k«t.

The accompanying illustration is from
ii photograph of a special Kaster basket
designed by Charles Henry Fox at the
Sign of the Rose, Philadelphia. This
basket is one of Mr. Fox 'a choicest pro-
ductions. It is filled with "Alice blue"
hydrangeas, blue silk fiber being woven
through the straw of the basket to har-
monize. Both the l)asket and its ar-
rangement were the personal work of
Mr. Fox and his designation of the
hydrangeas as Alice blue is a touch in
keeping with the skill shown in the de-
sign.

COLOR COMBINATIONS.

Too few retailers give sufficient
thought to their color combinations. The
proper use of colors marks the floral
artist. It is not at all skill in the me-
chanical part of the work that marks the
adept. It takes an artist, for instance,
to know that only one color should be
used in a show window. Too many are
inclined to show how great a variety of
stock they have, rather than how well
they can display one item. One of the
handsomest retail windows seen in a long
time consisted of a single vase of big
yellow mums. This was some fine Mon-
rovia, but any good yellow sort would
answer as well, and there is nothing to
beat old Bonnaffon, which soon will be
in. The flowers stood at the rear of
the center of the window a'nd were in a
tall, dark-green, rattan-covered vase.
The floor of the window was carpeted
with green sheet moss, which was built
up to cover the pots of several fine
>*pecimen plants of Adiantum Farleyense.
From the tall vase of mums there were
streamers of yellow ribbon leading to
the adiantum. The only two colors were
shades of yellow and green. Words fail
to tell how much more efl'ective this win-
dow was than that of a neighbor who
probably had $50 worth of cut flowers in
no greater space.

FALL PLANTING.

The retail florist who does a general
Inisiness can often turn to good account
things outside his own sphere of adver-
tising. For instance, a widely circu-
lated weekly magazine recently began a
'Series of articles on "Home," with a
chapter devoted to the gardening en-
vironment of the ideal habitation. The
Budd Park Greenhouses, of Kansas City,
took quick advantage of the opportunity
py sending out to the owners of homes
m the vicinity, a neatly printe<l circular
which read as follows:

The article in the current issue of
the Saturday Evening Post, entitled
Home,' is suggested for your careful
consideration.

'We are more than anxious to have
^'5" give us a trial order of planting any
«i the bulbs or shrubbery that should

now be planted. We can, we believe, do
it just a little bit better than any one
else and at prices within reasonable
scope, quality considered.

"We are also prepared to fertilize
your lawn without the usual litter and
produce more satisfactory results than
where manure is lised, obviating spring
cleaning of same.

"Tulip beds made from $3 up.

"We will 'be pleased to advise with
you concerning anv work of this charac-
ter. ' '

The same opportunity lay at the door
of every florist who does planting and

scene, a horsey window during the week
of the equine exhibition, all help to keep
alive the public interest. The newspaper
and mail advertising should be in accord
with the window whenever possible.

HAUSWIRTH'S NEW STORE.

r. .1. Ilauswirth has a fine store
in the new annex to the Auditorium An-
nex, Chicago. The room is amply large,
with a basement even larger, equipped
for the storage of stock and the making
up of work, so that tlie store itself need
be used for nothing except display and
sales. The walls are white, marble be-
low and enameled terra cotta above, and
the flecoralion is simple, so that the stock
shows off to better advantage than where
the ornamentation of the walls is too
elaborate. No fixtures will l^e required
except some marble-topped tables, per-
haps a ribbon and basket case and the re-

the return is sure to be in the long run
much more than would be necessary to
justify such a piece of enterprise.

Every retail florist should seek to take
advantage of the things that excite pub-
lic interest, as many now <lo by special
window displays. The show window,
next to a well pleased customer, always
will be the florists' best advertisement,
and it is worth careful handling to get
out of it all it is worth. This week a

panels inlaid in the marble are of art
glass of various soft tone colors. The
floor of the flower chamber is laid in
white tile. The'rear of the flower cham-
ber is fitted with mirrors, which assist
greatly in the display of the cut stock.
The ice chamber of this refrigerator is so
arranged that it can be used either with
artificial refrigeration or natural ice, Mr.
Hauswirth having the advantage of con-
nection with the refrigerating plant in
the hotel. But should any accident hap-

pen to the artificial a])puratus. tlie coils
can be taken out and ice used. The ice
chamber is so arranged that it maintains
a temperature of from 48 to 52 degrees
and a circulation of air is j>rovided for to
carry the cut stock in good shape as long
as the most favorable conditions will per-
mit.

The refrigerator was built by Orr &
Lockett Hardware Co., (^hieago, whose
coolrooms are in use in most of the whole-
sale houses in the Chicago market, as well
as in many leading retail stores, not only
in Chicago, but in other cities.

THE KALISCH STORE.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph taken in the store of Wil-
liam Kalisch & Sons, at St. I.ouis, and is

typical of the well ordered establish-
ments where a general trade is done.
Kalisch & Sons are located at 4506
Delmar boulevard and have an excellent
general trade. The store is of good
size and well fitted up. The fixtures are
all in white enamel and there is a place
for everything and everything, as in the
old adage, is in its place. They carry a
large line of staple supplies; everything
that the trade requires. To prevent the
soiling of baskets and other easily dam-
aged articles, they are all protected by
display cases. At one side of the room
there is a case for the display of metal
and wax wreaths and design3, which in
certain localities are an important item
of stock, however their handling may be
regarded by the retailers who cater to
the swell society element.

CARNATION NOTES. EAST.

The Question of Green.

As stevia is in season only from
Thanksgiving to about January 15, the
greens then to be made use of are ferns,
asparagus and carnation foliage.

Th« largely used fancy ferns are too
well known to need more than passing
reference here, although it may be well
to advise against their too frequent use,
as customers soon tire of them. Aspar-
agus in its several varieties is always
acceptatjle. The growing of Sprengeri
as described some time ago by Mr. Scott,
i. e., in the empty boxes used for ship-
ping glass, materially lessens the-fost of
its production.

I Carnation Folijge at Grreos.

Last but not least of the greens 1
shall mention is the divine .flower 's own
foliage, the most appropriate of all, but
it is questionable whether most of us
realize how expensive it is. Kvery shoot
cut is one less would-be bloom and is
removed at a time when practically all
labor and expense necessary to its de-
velopment into a flower have been laid
out; a short wait and the shoot would
become an unquestionable asset. (!onse
quently a dozen sprays gathered here
and there, from a bench, while seeming-
ly of little value and apparently de-
tracting nothing from the plants, is in
reality a drain on the grower and plant.**
alike.. ■-. -,

So great is some Hower lovers ' aji
preciation of this green that they prefer
eight blooms and four sprays of foliage
to twelve blooms with other green at
the same figure. All patrons of the
florist are not of this mind, at least
concerning the question of price.

Real Value of the Foliage.

If an order came for a bunch to
contain, say two dozen fully developed
blooms and one dozen buds in all stages
of development, you would feel justified
'in charging for three dozen blooms at
full price and a customer could have no
cause to feel overcharge<l. A few sprays

of foliage are needed to complete the
natural effect, and any one appreciative
of this green can readily be shown that
these sprays are nothing short of blooms.

By the way, if bunches of this sort
were occasionally displayed in retail
places, much explanation could be
avoided that perhaps would take place
at a more critical time.

It has been our practice not to cut

foliage under any circumstances until
February and then from a variety to be
discontinued the year following, or from
plants of unusual vigor, young stock of
which has been propagated.

Later in the season, when perhaps it
is decided to throw out a bench for
room, that material can be used to

'f

advantage, but in all cases hold to its
value. GEO. S. Osborn.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY .

Peter Fisher, the originator of Bea
con, offers $12 for the best fifty blooms
of that variety, $8 for the second best
and $5 for the third best, to be exhibiterl

WINTERING HYDRANGEAS.

Will Hydrangea Otaksa and H, vaiie
gata stand storing in a dark underground
cellar, where the temperature is near the
freezing point for four months f In
storing them last year in the same place,
they were entirely covered with dry sand,
but a good many buds were lost in tak
ing them out and I should like to pre
vent such damage as much as possible,
leaving them packed together on the
ground. P. B. B.

While 1 would prefer a cellar with
some light, I see no good reason why
your plants should not keep all right in
a dark cellar if the temperature is not
allowed to go much below freezing. Let
the plants be denuded of foliage and
have the wood well ripened before stor
ing them. Covering with sand is not

neceBsary. If a little protection is
aeeded, use some hay or straw scattered
lightly over the plants. Give ventilation
on all favorable days and, if you can.
move your plants to other quarters be-
fore it is warm enough to start the buds.
A dry cellar, of course, is f)referable tti

USE FOR UNHEATED HOUSE.

I have a greenhouse that I am not
heating this winter. There are benches
in the house. Is it too late to plant
pansy plants on them, and if I cover
well will they be all right? Would it be
satisfactory to place hyacinths under the
benches, in potsf Do you think the pots
would break? I have no good place out-
sidp for them. What would von advise?

H. E. R.

The pansies, if good plants outdoors,
<an still be planted. They should be
vovered witli meadow l>ay after the
bench is frozen quite hard, and left cov-
ered until March. I see no reason why
they will not give you a good and profit-
iible spring crop.

As you have no suitable outdoor place
'or storing hyacinths, they can be placed
undor the benches. Cover with ashes and
atfi- ^ith a good thickness of meadow
"ay or straw. If you have a suitable
cellar it would be preferable to the un-
neated greenhouse, but the hyacinths
should do well under the benches. Tulips,
narcissi and other Dutch bulbs may be
^'lmllarly stored. C. Vf.

1 quote the foregoing especially for
the violet grower, and yet, as I write it
down, I cannot help thinking how much
better much of our work every day, in all
lines, would be if we only would make
' ' Today ' ' our motto. Many things will
stand the neglect of waiting for .tomor-
row better than will violets, as a little
delay in some needed care of them is
very often much more far-reaching than
it is with other plants. By this state-
ment I am by no means advocating the
neglect of other plants, but, for instance,
if' you see the least sign of spot, there
is no time to be lost if you hope to check

it, and you may not be able to do so
even then, no matter Bow hard you try.

Outside Temperature.

From now on the temperature should
be much more suitable for violets, as the
last week has seen it go down to 23
degrees with us, although today — two
days later — as 1 sit on the steamship
deck, and on the shady side at tha^
writing, it hardly seems possible. We
are having a delightful trip south and I
suppose that this is the coldest weather
thaW shall see this fall. I often wonder
how the violets do live and grow in
Florida ; it seems as if the summer would
kill them entirely. Yet we have all three
colors of the wild ones and they are
beauties. I also have double ones in our
yard that survive without any summer
care. But this is a digression and doea
not help the northern grower any, al-
though it may interest the writer. How-
ever, T think that I prefer to grow
vio!et.M in the north.

Plenty of Ventilation.

II you have not heretofore tried grow-
ing violets, do not get so careful of
them that you are afraid of giving them
jilenty of fresh, pure air, even if it is
l)retty cold. Remember that they will
stand a good deal, and do not make the
mistake of closing your ventilators and
l)eginning to fire early. Do not be
afraid to leave quite a crack on the
vents at night and follow it up for
some time, even after you start some
fires. A stagnant, damp, moisture-laden

atmosphere is very, very bad for them,
and a dry air in circulation, even if
almost at the freezing point, is much
to be preferred. As I have before said,
watch out on the watering also and do
not get things all wet down before a
rainy, cloudy, damp spell of weather, in
which you cannot get them properly dried
out as to foliage, or get the soil in a^
healthy, airy, breathing condition.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

importance of Ventilation.

Now that we are at the beginning of
the season, when steady firing will have
to be resumed, a few reminders as to the
care of the houses under these conditions
may not be out of place.

With a good, serviceable heating sys-
tem, tight houses and good ventilation,
the conditions are favorable to the
growth of good stock.

During the short, cloudy days it is
good economy to keep the fires going,
even though the temperature could be
kept at the normal by closing the ven-
tilation, as a. little heat, by encouraging
circulation, keeps the atmosphere sweet
and prevents a surcharge of moisture.

There are days and nights, too, when
the temperature can be maintained by
simply closing the ventilators, and no
doubt many are tempted to this course
to save a few dollars in the coal bill, but
the plants will certainly suflfer in health
and the quality of the cut will soon
deteriorate, resulting in a loss which the
few dollars gained by wonomizing will
be far from covering.

This method of treating roses is one
of the most fruitful sources of trouble.
The air becomes stagnant, causing the
foliage to become soft. The young
growth will lose that vigor and robust-
ness so necessary to carry a well finisheti
bud and the plant will acquire that con-
dition of impaired vitality which will
make it susceptible to the ravages of any
disease by which it may be attacked, so
that the only safety lies in keeping the
plants in a hardy, vigorous condition by
the judicious administration of air.

In order to give the plants the full
benefit of fret^ ventilation they ought to
be kept well tied up, so that the air can
circulate freely among the leaves. Any
neglect in this matter will later result in
weak and crooked stems, which will
seriously detract from the value of even
the best developed buds. This condition
•will also cause the eyes to break weak,
'by reason of the want of light and air.

and a growth of blind w»od will be
encourkged;^, which is especially undesir-
able at this season.

Cleanlinets Essential.

Keep the benches clear of all ripe and
decaying leaves, esi)ecially in Beauty
benches, as this decaying matter is just
tiie kind of breeding spot favored by
njos^^ungous growtli>'.

Precautions against mildew should
still be kept up by keeping the pipes
])ainted with the sulphur mixture and by
an occasional powdering with the blower.
Fumigating lightly oik e a week will keep
greenfly from making headway.

Disbudding and removing lateral
shoots should also be attendwl to at least
once a week.

From now on and during the winter
great care is ne<!essary in the applica-
tion of water and the use of the syringe.
By economizing on water it is easier to
economize on coal. RiBES.

LACK OF VENTILATION.

We have mailed you a few roses, hop-
ing you may help us in finding a cause
and a remedy for their condition. The
plants were in the l>est of health till
about ten days ago. Before we put on
a night man the temperature got as low
as 48 degrees and several mornings was
50 degrees, with air on. We have done
no feeding. There is onlv one house
affected. " C. M. J.

The low temperature to which these
roses have Iwen subjected would not
account for their present condition, if
they had been healthy and vigorous at
the time. The specimens sent show indi-
cations of having been giown in a close
and moist atmosphere, and stock so
grown is almost certain to suflfer when
root action gets sluggish and evaj)ora-
tion begins to decrease.

To remedy this condition, be very
careful in watering; keep them rather on
the dry side. Examine the soil care-
fully, especially where it is close to the
radiating pipes. Keep on plenty of ven-
tilation and maintain a circulation by

MRS. POTTER PALMER ROSE.

At the Chicago flower show in 1900
the silver medal for the best new rose
was awarded to a pink sport of Chatenay
exhibited by the Poehlmann Bros. Co.
It was the Chatenay in every respect
except that it had much deeper color,
and the trade liked it so well the Poehl-
mann Bros. Co. decided to send out
stock of the variety in the spring of
1908. The name Morton Grove was
given to it, but it has now been thought
best to give it the name of Mrs. Potter
Palmer, who is Chicago 's leading society
lady and who has indicated her accept-
ante of the honor. Under this name the
rose will be one o^ the conspicuous fea-
tures of the show next week.

ROSE MRS. JARDINE.

The rapidly expanding list of pink
roses for forcing "Will be augmented next
reason by another of the productions of
Alexander Dickson & Sons, which prom-
ises to be a fitting companion to Liberty
and Killarney. Newtownards, in Ire-
land, has turned out in recent years as
many new roses as any one spot in the
world, and Robert Scott & Son, Sharon
Hill, Pa., have had the pleasure of test-
ing many of them under American gar-
den and greenhouse conditions. Mrs.
Jardine, the present candidate, gives
finer promise than anything which has
thus far come to light among the many
good Dickson varieties. When E. G. Hill
first saAv Mrs. Jardine he turned to Alex-
ander B. Scott with the remark, "Aleck,
you have a winner there. ' ' It has proved
amenable to winter forcing, being a
strong grower and easily handled, with-
o^it special culture. The color is bright,
rosy pink, shading in the outer petals to
salmon pink. It is fragrant and in
.January, when Bridesmaid and Killarney
arc inclined to lose their color, Mrs.
.lardine gives flowers as bright as in
October or March. The flowers have full
petalage, so they can be used in any
stage of development. It is said to
flower more profusely than Bride or
Maid and the blooms are produced on
good stems.

It is unde*4tood that William P. Craig
will distribute stock of Mrs. Jardino for
Scott & Son in the spring of 1908.

SOME NEW EUROPEAN ROSES.

The autumn exhibition held by the Na-
tional Rose Society of England was of
special interest to searchers after nov-
elties, by reason of the comparatively
large number of new roses that were
represented. The most noteworthy of
the varieties shown that are not yet in
commerce was the fine hybrid tea Avoca,
for which A. Dickson & Son were award-
ed a gold medal. The blooms are of me-
dium size and good form; the petal is
large and remarkably stout and the color
is rich and effective. Conway Jones,
from the same exhibitor, is a hybrid
perpetual of merit; the blooms are of
large size and superb form and finish,
and the color is bright, rich red; the va-
riety has the additional quality of being
deliglitfully fragrant. Mrs. Franklin
Uennison is considered to be a hybrid
tea, but the soft, yet effective, shade of
yellow and exquisite finish suggest a
close relationship to the teas.

Of a very different character to the
foregoing is the tea-scented variety Lady
Meriel Bathurst, which was shown by
J. Jeffries & Son, Cirencester. This is
essentially a rose for the garden, and the

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

Rom Mn. Jardine.

Gardeners' Magazine advises its readers
that "those who appreciate roses that
grow freely and bloom profusely from
early in the summer to the close of the
autumn should buy and plant Lady
Meriel Bathurst." It has a vigorous
habit, is profuse in blooming and the
flowers are of medium size and elegant
in form, and the color is a delightful
combination of soft yellow, flesh color
and rose.

In one of the collections exhibited by
Frank Cant & Co., Braiswick, Colchester,

occurred a beautiful vase of Mme. Me-
laine Soupert. This belongs to the hy-
brid tea section and was raised by Per-
net-Ducher and distributed in 1905. In
one of the continental catalogues the
color is described as sunset yellow on
a carmine ground. Probably rich sal-
mon-yellow, tinted with carmine and
rose, would be a more correct descrip-
tion. Earlier in the season the flowers
attain to a large size, and full, but
whether large or small they are of great
beauty. Not less remarkable for its

distinctness and beauty is Bertha Kle-
land, a charming tea-scented variety,
which was exhibited by B. R. Cant &
Sons, Colchester, introduced last year,
it has given excellent promise as a gar-
den rose, being robust in growth, free ii.
bloom and pleasing in color. The flowers
are large and semi-double. The color is
salmon-pink suffused light yellow. The
variety is effective in the garden and
blooms from the beginning of the sum-
mer until late in the autumn. These
wore the best of the novelties.

YELLOW TOUSET.

Oi" all the early chrysauthemunis none
was more universally grown this season
than Clementine Touset. It is jone of
the finest of earlf sorts, of whatever
color, an easy doer with all growers, and
the news that there is a bright yellow
sport of Touset will be welcome to all
who have made money on the original
variety this year. The yellow sport
originated with F. D. Cramer, at Han-
over, Pa. It is the Touset in every par-
ticular, size, form, foliage and stem,
as well as habit of growth, differing
only in ■color, which is about the shade
of Halliday. Mr. Cramer has supplied
stock of this variety to the E, G. Hill
Co., Eichmond, Ind., for test next sea-
son. If it comes up to expectations it
will be put on the m&rket in 1909.

PACaFIC SUPREME.

Pacific Supreme is one of the seasou's
uovelties of Nathan Smith & Son,
Adrian, Mich. It was exhibited at
Philadelphia, October 26, when the seed-
ling committee of the C. S. A. scored it
87 points on the commercial scale. The
color is intermediate between Glory of
Pacific and William Duckham. It is a
delicate shade and yet sufficiently illumi-
nated so that it may be allowed to
develop without danger of the fading
which injures so many pinks. The flower
easily attains to six inches in diameter
and the one photographe<l was cut
October 20. The height is three and
one-half feet. The foliage closely re-
sembles Glory of Pacific, but the variety
is freer in growth.

WHITE FLY ON MUMS.

1 am somewhat surprised to see such
frequent inquiries in regard to the white
Ay; not that it is a thing to be lightly
considered, but from experience in fol-
lowing suggestions and instructions
Siven by the Review, I believe that any
orist, of much or little experience, can
keep his place clean.

Until recently I have always used to-
bacco for fumigating and my success
was never satisfactory; such frequent
applications kept something marked all
the time.

I had estimated a number of times
for sulphuric acid and cyanide of potas-
sium, but the cost looked out of propor-
tion to the benefit to be derived; so I
sent for tobacco stems or powder, and
still had a good supply of pests. This
fall the white flies were so numerous that
tobacco seemed a worthless waste of
time and money.

I have a house 53x55 feet, four feet
and a half to the plate and valley, with
three ridges, all connected, and I raise
a general line of plants and flowery, such
as are handled in a rural district. In
the flrst part of the winter I grow let-
tuce in all my spare room.

Four weeks ago my mums were black
with aphides for a space of six or eight
inches down the stem, and a covey of
white flies met me at almost every step.

The eonditiuii warranted drastic meas-
ures. I purchased one gallon of com-
mercial sulphirric acid for 75 cents and
twenty ounces of cyanide of potassium
and prepared eight jars as per formula.
This quantity, I believe, is quite a little
below what lias been recommended.

It is now thirty days since this treat-
ment and still 1 fail to find green, black
or white fly, or spider, or house fly, or
even a band of toads that I was har-
boring. Sow bugs alone infest the
house and these in their turn will re-
ceive their treatment of Paris green, as
per the Review. W. L. L.

LEAF-SPOT ON MUMS.

Tlie leaf -spot on chrysanthemums, long
known to American growers, has only
recently become common in England.
The disease can be recognized by the

presence of more or less rounded spots
of varying size on the upper surface of
the leaf. These spots soon turn to a
dark reddish-brown, and these dark
patches, which consist of diseased tissue,
besides disfiguring the plantj render the
leaves unable to carry on their proper
functions; and the plant in consequence
becomes weakened in vitality. When
the fungus produces its fructification,
little black dots become visible scat-
tered over the discolored areas ol the
leaf.

The disease was at first observed about
1890 in Italy, in the Botanic Gardens
at Pavia and elsewhere. Briosi and
Cavara state: "We have for several
years in succession observed this para-
site in the autumn just when the chrys-
anthemum is about to flower. The leaves
which are affected by it, besides bearing
brown patches, become* crumpled at the
margins, and fall prematurely."

In the United States, Dr. Halsted
wrote of the disease as follows, in 1891
and 1894: "A blight has been quite
prevalent upon the leaves of the chrys-
anthemum, blotching them with brown
until they wither and fall away. Mois-
ture favors the development of these
spots. Some varieties seem to be more
subject to the blight than others, but

probably all will take it when the con-
ditions are most favorable and the
spores are present." The same fungus
was found by Prof. Beach at the Geneva
Experiment Station on the foliage of
greenhouse chrysanthemums. Prof. Beach
writes of the disease as follows. "It
first appears in small brown spots, which
increase in size and number until the
leaf tissue dies and the foliage drops
off. In badly-diseased plants nearly all
the leaves wither and fall away."

Experiments with fungicides for this
pest have been carried out at the Geneva
Station, and it is recommended, after
the removal and burning of the spotted
leaves, to cover the remaining foliage
with Bordeaux mixture. It ia said that
five or six applications will iiHually be
sufScient to keep the foliage covered,
especially if the soap is used. The fol-
lowing formula for the Bordeaux mix-
ture is given: Dissolve two pounds of
"jopper sulphate in water, add whitewash
made of one and one-half pounds of
fresh-slaked lime, and dilute to twenty-
two gallons of water, then add enough
«ioap to form a suds.

The scientists give the name Septoria
ihrysanthemi, or perhaps more prop-
erly, Septoria chrysanthemella. On the
Continent the disease is becoming prev-
alent. It was recorded from green-
houses in Copenhagen in 1897, and is
now known from a number of places
in Italy and Germany. In October, 1904,
October, 1905, and in August, 1906, it
occurred in the form of an epidemic in
nurseries in Berlin. Last year it was
recoi-ded from Bohemia, in greenhouses,
with the following note : ' ' The fungus
is a dangerous parasite, especially in
glasshouses, where it soon attacks the
majority of the leaves and causes them
to fall."

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

Annual Business Meeting.

The annual business meeting of the
Chrysanthemum Society of America will
be held on the first day of the exhibition,
November 6, at 4 p. m., in the rooms of
the American Institute, New York, and
it is hoped that the members and the
craft in general will avail themselves of
the opportunity to be present at this
meeting. A very interesting program
has been prepared. William Duckham
has kindly consented to read a paper on
the cultivation of the chrysanthemum
for exhibition purposes and C. H. Totty
a paper on single varieties, which should
prove interesting. The exhibition prom-
ises to be the best in the history of the
society, and no doubt the great show to
be held in Chicago will form the subject
for an interesting talk at this meeting.

ODONTCX}LOSSUM GRANDE.

That magnificent autumn-flowering
orchid, Odontoglossum grande, is a na-
tive of Guatemala. Its large, showy
flowers, five to six inches in diameter,
are yellow, with bands of rich reddish
brown spots, and are produced on half
drooping spikes which usually carry from
three to eight flowers each. Occasion-
ally bulbs will produce two or more
spikes each. The illustration shows a
plant growing in a 6-inch pan, which
this season produced four spikes from a
single bulb, with a total of twenty-five
perfect flowers.

The baby orchid, as O. grande is com-
monly called, succeeds well in shallow
pans in a compost of fern fiber to which
is added a little fresh sphagnum. It
requires less water than other odonto-
glossums, likes a fair amount of winter
sunlight and succeeds best in a north
house in summer, hung well up to the
light and near the ventilators. This is
one of the showiest members of the
orchid family. It is of comparatively
easy culture, and blooming as it does,
late in September and the early part of
October, when other orchids are scarce,
it is specially useful. W. N. Craig.

Early Frerch Bulbs.

October is almost gone, and that
reminds us that Thanksgiving day will
be here almost before we know it. While
not comparable to Christmas, Easter or
Memorial day in flower sales, there is
always a brisk demand for good flowers
for this holiday. If you want to have
some of your earliest started Paper
White narcissi in season, bring them into
a house with a night temperature of 55
to 60 degrees and they will flower in nice
time. We are presuming that these are
well started, as they should be. if boxed
when recommended. While it is quite
possible to have Koman hyacinths in
bloom, do not commence forcing them
unless they are well started, with growths
say two inches in length. If you find
they have plenty of roots and not suf-
ficient top, place them in a warm, dark
case for a few days to draw them up.
Be sure to examine these and any other
bulbs you may have in flats or {)ans and,
if showing the least signs of dryness,
soak them well. Many bulb failures are
due to too little moisture Nat the root in
the early stages of growth\

Stevia.

That common but extremely useful
plant, stevia, ^^hould be kept in a cold
house; 40\ degrees at night is ample.
You will have no use for it until after
Thanksgiving. From that time onward
a succession of it will prove of great
value. The pots or flata will now be
getting well matted with active roots.
Provide some liquid stimulant and re-
member that stevia can scarcely be over-
watered. The dwarf variety makes a
.specially nice pot plant and, mixed with
.such - brilliant flowers as poinsettias,
makes a very pretty effect.

Motchotma Riparium.

Moschosma riparium is new to Amer-
ican growers, having been introduced
this season by C. H. Totty, of xMadison,
N. J. It promises to be a useful addi-
tion to our list of winter-blooming
plants. Of South African origin, the
moschosmas prefer cool treatment, a
(•hrysanthemum house being better for
them than one a few degrees warmer.
Of easy propagation from soft cuttings,
even if rooted quite late in the summer,
it can be grown into fine, bushy- plants
if kept pinched until early in September.
The flowers are eupatoriuni-like and
white when fully expanded. The plants
rather resemble some of the eupatoriums
in habit. The foliage has quite a pro-
nounced odor, pleasing to the majority.
We cannot tell what value the flowers
may have for cutting, but the chief merit

will undoubtedly be as a Christmas pot
plant.

Ferns.

With the advent of colder weather a
better demand for ferns in pots will
spring up. Probably you have been so
busy planting bulbs, potting azaleas and
doing the thousand and one other jobs
incidental to a florist's life that you may
have neglected these a little. Plants
lifted from the, benches some time ago
will be getting nicely rooted in their pots
and pans and will begin to require more
water at the root. • Do not allow them to
become too crowded. Elevate some of
your best plants on inverted pots or on
pedestals. Good specimens will always
bring more money. There is no necessity
for growing these very warm ; 52 to 55
degrees at night is ample for the
nephrolepis varieties. Do not spray
overhead, especially in the case of the
heavy-frond sports, such as Elegantis-
sima, Barrowsii and Whitmani. Cut off
all decaying fronds, to make the plant as
attractive as possible to prospective pur-
chasers.

Spiraeas.

The roots of spiraea, or astilbe, as
botanists prefer to call it, will arrive

is still grown a good deal, but there are
quite a number of vastly superior varie-
ties, such as compacta, astilboides, Glad-
stone and the new pink. Queen Alex-
andra, which altogether outclass the old
form. We have remarked before that
you can grow better spireea clumps than
you can buy abroad. Try it and prove
for yours-elf how superior they are.

Primulas.

The various primroses, such as Sinensis,
obconica and the new yellow, Kewensis,
will all be starting to bloom now. There
will be no special call for them before
Christmas, but nicely flowered plants will
be in demand at that time. A tempera-
ture of 45 to 50 degrees at night, plenty
of light but not too much direct sun-
light, and careful watering, are now
needed. The Chinese section will the
Tnore quickly resent overwatering, so, if
you use the hose among them, do not
water each pot indiscriminately. Better
to have them a little on the dry side
than the reverse. Afford weak manure
water to any which may have the pots
full of roots.

Look out for aphis on the lower sides
of the leaves on P. obconica. If you
fumigate once a week, as you should all
winter, you can keep them in control.
Curling leaves and a somewhat stunted
growth are sure indications of the pres-
ence of the pest.

Cyclamens.

If cyclamen seeds were sown rather
widely apart in flats, the little seedlings
will be all right for some time yet. If,
on the other hand, you sowed them thick-
ly and have neglected to transplant them,
lose no time in doing it. A good com-
post is made of flaky leaf -mold, loam and
sand. Do not use any manure. Give the
little seedlings two inches of space eacii
way. Do not cover the tiny corm, or
bulb, and afford the plants a position
near the glass in a temperature of 55
degrees at night. A house with plenty
of pure air will suit them to a nicety.

early in November. On arrival it is well
to soak them in a tub of water and then
store in a coldframe, or even outdoors
where they can be easily lifted when
needed for forcing. Let them have a
good freezing before potting and wait
until at least Christmas before you start
any. The pots seen in bloom at the holi-
days are from cold storage roots and not
the new crop. The old Spiraea Japonica

We note that the flower buds are now
appearing thickly on some of the older
plants. Those wanted for Christmas, a
time when cyclamens always sell well,
should be well looked after. A light
house kept at not over 50 degrees at
night is suitable. As the plants are or
.should be well rooted, afford gentle
stimulants once a week and do not for-
get a weekly fumigation.

it

Coidbiuaaet,

While winter has not yet arrived, we
have some sharp frosts, premonitory
warnings of what we may soon expect.
At this season an abundant supply of
coldframe sash is a great benefit to any
commercial grower. In these should now
be stored such doubtfully hardy seed-
lings of biennials and perennials as may
be growing in the field. These may be
planted quite thickly. After they are
frozen quite hard, cover with dry leaves.
Cover with sashes, which should be well
glazed, and they will need no further
attention until the end of March.

Such plants as digitalis, Canterbury
bells, .hollyhocks, pansies and violas,
rayosotis, double daisies and many others
can be wintered in this way. Of course,
in some sections all these may keep out-
doors, but in many places they cannot be
depended upon. There is no need to
place s£Oi(^ on the frames until quite
severe froOTtaets in.

Bulb Planting.

The arrival of November wartis us to
put off bulb planting no longer and,
where it has not been attended to al-
ready, the bulbs should be put in at
once. Some bulbs, such as liliums, are
late in arriving. If intended for outdoor
culture they are much better planted in
the fall than the spring, even though it
may be necessary to use a bar to loosen
the earth on the surface. In planting
lilies you will have better results by
placing the bulbs eight to twelve inches
deep, allowing such sorts as auratum and
speciosum the greatest depth.

Place no covering over bulb beds on
the first sign of the ground freezing.
Let the soil be hard enough to drive a
team over before you cover. If you put
protective materiaJ on while the ground
is soft, the bulbs will make growth under
their warm covering, which is exactly
what you do not want them to do. The
time a mulching is most needed is, not in
November or even December, but in
February and March.

Visit the Ezhibitiont.

The mum season is now in full swing
and several of the exhibitions have been
held. The queen of autumn shows no
signs of waning popularity and the shows
this fall promise to be better and more
largely patronized than ever. It will pay
every florist to visit at least one good
exhibition. No matter how good a
grower he may be, he will learn many
points by attending. He will see varie-
ties shown he has not grown which it
will pay him to try another year. He
will be brought in contact with many of
his confreres, and rubbing shoulders with
them at an exhibition is the best kind of
education for any man willing to learn;
and the man who is unwilling to learn
will soon be relegated to the rear. By
all means attend the fall shows in your
vicinity and take a notebook with you.
Do not continue to cultivate obsolete
varieties when you might just as well be
growing up-to-date ones.

RULES FOR JUDGING.

A Model for Qub Shows.

The State Florists' Society of Indiana
recently adopted a set of rules for judg-
ing exhibits at its monthly meetings
that are so good that they are presented
here for the information of other similar
bodies :

Moschosma Riparium*

^^ G>mmitteeof Awards.

1. The committee of awards shall con-
sist of three members, who shall be
elected by the society. One to serve
until and including the annual meeting

in January, 1908. One to serve until
and including the annual meeting in

January, 1909. One to serve until and
including the annual meeting in January,

1910.

At each annual meeting the vacancy
created by the expiration shall be filed
by election by the society, such election
to be for a term of three years.

If at any meeting of the society
(flowers or plants being on exhibition)
less than two members of the committee
of awards be present, the presiding
oflScer, with the approval of the meeting,
shall appoint others to act temporarily.
The power thus granted to expire at the
close of the meeting.

Character of Exhibits.

2. All exhibits of plants or flowers
striving for certificates shall be made at
a regular meeting of the society or one
of its authorized exhibitions and the
exhibitor shall notify the secretary at
least three days prior to the day of
exhibition. To secure the society's cer-
tificate, it will be necessary that a grow-
ing plant accompany the cut flower ex-
hibit in case of carnations or roses, and
that carnations and roses be scored at
three different meetings, these meetings
to be not less than two months apart.

It shall, however, be necessary to show
a growing plant at only one of these
meetings.

3. Any one showing a novelty with the
intention of obtaining the society's in-
dorsement in any way the committee
may recommend shall conform to the
rules laid down by them for their guid-
ance as herein stated.

4. Any one in this state not being a
member of this society and making ap-
plication to the secretary for the pri'^-
lege to exhibit at any meeting or exhi-
bition shall accompany such application
with $1 for each meeting or exhibition
he may desire to exhibit, unless he be
a subscriber to the premium fund (if
there be such) to at least that amount.

' Awards.

5. The highest reward for flowers or
plants shall be the society 's silver medal,
which shall be awarded to any new va-
riety, scoring 95 points or over. First-
class certificates of merit shall be award-
ed to any new variety scoring 85 points
or over.

6. In judging any flower or plant for
which there exists a national society, its
scale shall be used by the judges. If
no such society exists for any flower or
plant on exhibition the judges may use
their own discretion in judging the ex-
hibit. On any flower or plant (except
carnations or roses) the judges maj
make final award at any one exhibition,
if they are satisfied as to its merits, but

Coldframes.

While winter has not yet arrived, we
liMve some sharp frosts, premonitory
warnings of what we may soon expect.
At this season an abundant supply of
coidframe sash is a great benefit to any
lommercial grower. In theSe should now
be stored such doubtfully hardy seed-
lings of biennials and perennials as may
))e growing in the field. These may be
planted quite thickly. After they are
t'rozen quite hard, cover with dry leaves.
Cover with sashes, which should be well
glazed, and they will need no further
attention until the end of March.

Such plants as digitalis, Canterbury
bells, hollyhocks, pansies and violas,
myosotis, double daisies and many others
can be wintered in this way. Of course,
in some sections all these may keep out-
doors, but in many places they cannot be
depended upon. There is no need to
place sashes on the frames until quite
severe frost sets in.

Bulb Planting.

The arrival of November warns us to
put off bulb planting no longer and,
where it has not been attended to al-
ready, the bulbs should be put in at
once. Some bulbs, such as liliums, are
late in arriving. If intended for outdoor
culture they are much better planted in
the fall than the spring, even though it
may be necessary to use a bar to loosen
the earth on the surface. In planting
lilies you will have better results by
placing the bulbs eight to twelve inches
deep, allowing such sorts as auratum and
speciosum the greatest depth.

Place no coveiing over bulb beds on
the first sign of the ground freezing.
Let the soil be hard enough to drive a
team over before you cover. If you put
[trotective material on while the ground
is soft, the bulbs will make growth under
their warm covering, which is exactly
what you do not want them to do. The
time a mulching is most needed is, not in
November or even December, but in
February and jNlarch.

Visit the Exhibitions.

The mum season is now in full swing
and several of the exhibitions have been
iield. The queen of autumn shows no
signs of waning popularity and the shows
this fall promise to be bettcM- and more
largely patronized than ever. It will pay
every florist to visit at least one good
exhibition. No Jiiatter how good a
grower he may be, he will learn many
points by attending. lie will see varie-
ties shown he has not grown which it
will pay him to try another year. He
will be brought in contact with many of
his confreres, and rubbing shoulders with
them at an exhibition is the best kind of
education for any man willing to learn;
and the man who is unwilling to learn
will soon be relegated to the rear. By
all means attend the fall shows in your
vicinity and take a notebook with you.
Do not continue to cultivate obsolete
varieties when you might just :is well be
growing up-to-date ones.

RULES FOR JUDGING.

A Model for Club Shows.

The State Florists' Society of Indiana
recently adopted a set of rules for judg-
ing exhibits at its monthly meetings
that arc so good that they are presented
hero for the information of other similar
bodicB :

Moschosma Riparium.

Committee of Awards.

1. The comiiuttee of awards slwill con-
sist of three meiidters, who shall b(!
elected by the society. One to serve
until and including the annual meeting

in January, I'.tos. One to serve until
and including the animal meeting in

•lanuary, 19U9. One to serve until and
including the annual meeting in January,

1910.

At each annual meeting the vacancy
created by the expiration shall be filed
Ijy election by the society, such election
to be for a term of three years.

If at any meeting of the society
(flowers, or plants being on exhibition)
less than two members of the committee
of awards be present, the presiding
ofKcer, with the approval of the meeting,
shall appoint others to act temporarily.
The power thus granted to expire at the
close of the meeting.

Character of Exhibits.

2. All exhibits of plants or flowers
striving for certificates shall be made at
a regular meeting of the society or one
of its authorized exhibitions and the
exhibitor shall notify the secretary at
least three days prior to the day of
exhibition. To secure the society's cer-
tificate, it will be necessary that a grow-
ing plant accompany the cut flower ex-
hibit in case of carnations or roses, and
that carnations and roses be scored at
three different meetings, these meetings
to be not less than two months apart.

It shall, however, lie necessary to show
a growing plant at only one of these
meetings.

'■>. Any one showing .i novelty with the
intention of obtaining the society's in-
dors(>meut in any way the conmiittce
may reconunend shall conform to the
rules Inid down by them for their guid-
;iii((^ as herein stated.

\. .\ny one in this state not being a
niendx^r of this society and making ap-
plication to tli(^ secretary for the privi-
lege to exhibit at any meeting or exhi-
bition shall accompany such application
with $1 for each meeting or exhibition
he may desire to <'xhibit. unless he be
a subscriber to the iireniiuni fund (if
there be such) to at least that amount.

Awards.

f). The highest reward for flowers or
plants shall be the society's silver medal,
which shall be awarded to any new va-
riety, scoring 95 points or over. First-
class certificates of merit shall be award-
ed to any new variety scoring S-") points
or over.

6. In judging any flower or plant for
which there exists a national society, its
scale shall be used by the judges. If
no such society exists for any flower or
plant on exhibition the judges may use
tlicii- own discretion in judging tho ex-
hibit. On any flower or plant (except
carnations (jr roses) the judges may
make fiuiil award at any one exhibition,
if tliev nre satisfied as to its merits, but

they may require further exhibits in ac-
cordance with their judgment.

7. All reports of the committee shall
be entered in a book kept for that pur-
pose. All reports shall be signed bj
the members making same.

8. In case of protest, which shall be
made in writing, the judges shall select
one of their number, the protesting party
shall select another member of this so-
ciety, and these, two shall select a third
member of this society. These three
■hall review the judges' award, their de-
cision to be final.

The Market.

Business in general seems to have been
a little more quiet the last week than
before. Still, there is little cause for
complaint, as all the stock on the market
cleaned up pretty well.

Chrysanthemums are arriving in large
quantities. Naturally the white varieties
are in the best demand. Short stock
for work is plentiful. The price ranges
from $4 to $25 per hundred, some ex-
ceptionally fancy varieties bringing even
a still higher price. Touset, Halliday
and Amorita are the best sellers.

Beauties are in fairly good demand.
Eoses remain well cleaned up, with the
exception of the pink varieties; these
were somewhat of a glut last week. The
average stock on the market is good.
Prices range from 3 cents to 8 cents.

Carnations are arriving in large quan-
tities, and very good ones at that. The
fancy kinds bring 3 cents without any
trouble. Lawson are still very short
stem. Enchantress, Bose-pink and
White Enchantress, Beacon, Nelson
Fisher, White Perfection, Dorothy, Boun-
tiful, etc., are some of the popular va-
rieties on this market.

Green stock of all kinds is plentiful.
Considerable southern smilax was dis-
posed of last week.

Various Notes.

The writer, in company with S. S.
Skidelsky, took a run out to A. J.
Stahelin's greenhouses at Sandhill. Mr.
Stahelin was busy glazing. Most of this
place is devoted to carnations and chrys-
anthemums, some little bench room being
given to asparagus for green. In fumi-
;gating with hydrocyanic acid gas, our
friend gave his plants an overdose, burn-

ing the tips of the leaves of his carna-
tion plants. Some of the varieties seem
softer than others, as they suffered much
more. The carnation plants all look
thrifty. Beacon showed up well and Mr.
Stahelin is well pleased with it. The
mums on this place look promising.

Thomas Browne's and Qeorge
Browne's places were also visited.
Thomas Browiae has a large span of glass
devoted at present to carnations and
chrysanthemums. Among the former are
included such kinds as Beacon, Enchan-
tress, White and Kose-pink Enchantress,
Nelson Fisher, Bed Chief and Aristo-
crat. Mr. Browne will soon be cutting
a large number of mums, among them
such varieties as Golden Wedding, Bal-
four, Ivory, etc. Beacon carnation made
about the best showing of any variety
of carnation on the place; in fact, this

kind is giving especially good satisfac-
tion wherever grown. It produces
strong, healthy plants and long, wiry
stems early in the season. There is no
doubt but what Beacon will become one
of our standard varieties, like Lawson,
Enchantress, etc.

George Browne is interested in some
gold and silver mines in Mexico. He has
just returned from a trip to Mexico City
in the interests of the mining company
of which he is a stockholder. Only
three days were spent in Mexico, most
of the time being spent in traveling,
as it requires seven days to make the
trip one way from Detroit. Mr.
Browne's stock looks very well.

Albert Pochelon is the proud father
of another bouncing baby boy. The
other boy, of course, is still a baby, but
he already has inclinations to follow
in his father's footsteps; in fact, he
follows Mr. Pochelon all over the store.
This means another box of smokes at the
next club meeting.

The Market

The arrivals of flowers are now too
great for the market's needs and as a,
consequence trade is much poorer than
it was. These conditions are not by any
means new, and usually prevail during
the last part of October and the first
half of November, until the major por-
tion of the chrysanthemum crop has been
marketed. Eoses are abundant and,
while of good quality, do not sell at all
well. Carnations go a little better, but
are lower in price. Chrysanthemums
rule the market and are now plentiful
and sold at a wide range of prices.
There are comparatively few of the big
single-stemmed blooms now seen, those
of more moderate size being most in
demand. A few specials make $2.50 per
dozen, but sizes selling at $4 to $8 per
hundred are more in request.

Violets increase in supply and the sale
is not yet good for these. Prices are
inclined to be heavy. A few sweet peaa
of the new season 's crop are seen. Lilies
are not yet abundant. There is only a
moderate call for valley and merely in-
termittent calls for other seasonable
flowers arriving. Cattleya labiata is in
good supply. These are not seen at the
markets, but the wholesalers handle an
increasing number. Gardeniaa are also
seen of good quality.

In the way of pot plants, chrysanthe-
mums are most abundant. Berried so-
lanums, nephrolepis, Ficus pandurata,
ardisias, Pandanus Veitchii and kentias
are mostly in evidence. Trade is slow
on these as yet, but the colder weather
we are getting may stimulate it. The
financial crisis just now being experi-
enced hurts flower business seriously.

Park Street Market.

The annual banquet of the Park
Street market wfia held Saturday even-
ing, October 26. Addresses were made
by William H. Elliott, Hugh Cameron,
W. H. Knapp and others, following a
first-class dinner. At the business meet-
ing the oflBcers were reelected and a divi-
dend declared of $5 per share, or twenty
per cent.

Various Notes.

The death of O. B. Hadwen, of Wor-
cester, an account of whose career ap-
pears on another page, occasioned nu-
merous expressions of regret among his
numerous friends in and around Boston.
He was highly esteemed by all who knew
him.

Entries are coming in satisfactorily
for the chrysanthemum exhibition Open-
ing November 8 and the special prized
are sure to elicit an excellent competi-
tion. The date will suit chrysanthemum
plants much better than that of a year
ago.

H. M. Eobinson & Co. received a large
number of customers and friends Octo-
ber 29, at their salesrooms, 15 Province
street, it being the first anniversary of
their cut flower department, trade in
which has grown enormously from a year
ago, shipments being now received from
and forwarded to all parts of New Eng-
land. Eefreehments were served and a
general good time enjoyed.

The Lenox show, October 23, attracted
several visitors from this vicinity. All
were delighted with the splendid exhi-
bition put up.

The report from the various seed
houses is that fall trade in bulba has

THE DEATH ROLL.

Obadiah B. Haawetu

The death of this well known horti-
culturist occurred at Worcester, Mass.,
October 24, after a brief illness. As re-
cently as October 10 Mr. Hadwen pre-
sided at the annual meeting and banquet
of the "Worcester County Horticultural
Society and led the grand march in the
-dance which followed, although 83 years
of age.

Born in 1824, Obadiah Brown Hadwen
early evinced a deep interest in agri-
cultural and horticultural pursuits, be-
ing for over fifty years one of the lead-
ing farmers in Worcester county and
being prominent in the milk producing
business, and after his retirement from
active business he was much sought after
as an authority on agricultural and hor-
ticultural matters. He had a beautiful
estate on the outskirts of the city of
Worcester, planted with great skill and
noted for its collection of fine specimen
trees and shrubs, magnolias being a spe-
cial feature. Mr. Hadwen was also a
noted pomologist, being a large fruit
^ower himself and doing much to stim-
ulate interest in this important branch
of agriculture.

He had been closely identified with
the Worcester County Horticultural So-

ciety, which was founded in 1842, almost
from its commencement, being president
for many years and at the time of his
death still holding that office. There
were few meetings of the society in the
last sixty years which he had not at-
tended, and he frequently lectured and
took an active part in the discussions. In
an address made January 4, 1906, he
said, among other things: "Horticul-
tural training tends to develop human
faculties in a manner that all the forces
act in harmony, in whatever direction
they are pursued; when united with well
directed industry, it enables a man to
reach the highest degree in his calling.
Great advantages pertain to early train-
ing, for youth is the period when the
head and hand may easily work in har-
mony. ' '

The deceased had been a life member
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety for a long term of years and had
filled the highest offices in the gift of the
society, including that of president,
which latter he vacated five years ago.
His was a familiar figure at the shows
and business meetings and the society's
welfare was ever in his thoughts.

Mr. Hadwen had been president of
the Massachusetts Agricultural Club, the
Worcester* County Agricultural Society
and the American Pomological Society.
He had also been chairman of the ex-
ecutive board of the Massachusetts Ag-
ricultural College at Amherst and pres-
ident of various other organizations in
Worcester. He was an active member of
the Patrons of Husbandry, attending
many of the state conventions and filling
various responsible positions in the Wor-
cester and state granges. Hadwen park,
a beautifully wooded tract of fifty acres,
was presented by him to the city of
Worcester a few years ago and now
forms a part of the city's park system.

Lovers of horticulture and agriculture
were always welcomed to Mr. Hadwen 's
estate and his collections of trees and
shrubs and extensive orchard were great
objects of interest. Few men in Massa-
chusetts have lived longer or more hon-
orable lives and the esteem in which he
was held was strikingly shown by the

large outpouring at his funeral, which
included representatives from the many
societies with which he was identified,
members of the Worcester city council
and many other bodies. The fioral sou-
venirs were more numerous and costly
than at any recent interment in Wor-
cester. W. N. Ceaio.

INCAHVILLEA DELAVAYI.

Among hardy herbaceous plants, Incar-
villea Delavayi is one of the most strik-
ing introductions of recent years. Being
a native of northern China, it has proven
perfectly hardy under cover as far north
as the state of Maine and in southern
Canada. The roots are thick and fleshy,
forming heavy, compact clumps. The
large leaves, springing directly from the
root-stock, are highly ornamental, resenj-
bling in form the famous acanthus. They
appear rather late in sq^on, but retain
their dark green color up to the arrival
of the first frosts. Incarvilleas bear
their flowers on long, erect stems, well
above the foliage. The single blossom,
measuring about two inches in diameter,
reminds us of the gloxinia. Its color is
a deep rosy pink, well adapted for near
and distant effects. Along the northern
Atlantic coast, noteworthy in Mount Des-
ert Island gardens, the flowers, opening
the latter part of June, have shown re-
markable keeping qualities. Incarvilleas,
when planted together in small groups
or clumps, are doubtless very desirable
acquisitions in herbaceous gardens, or, in
fact, in any perennial border. The pres-
ent heavy demand for plants shows their
increasing popularity among garden own-
ers and plant lovers. The photograph
our illustration originated from was taken
in the Mount Desert Nurseries in Bar
Harbor. Richard Rothe.

A PROTEST by Eeed & Keller against
the assessment of duty on sea moss has
been sustained by the board of general
appraisers at New York.

The self-satisfaction of showing a
visitor through a clean and orderly place
is worth all the effort it takes to pre-
serve cleanliness and order.

You cannot tell how good a grower a
man may be who has no printed letter-
head, but you can form a pretty accurate
estimate of his business ability.

The new law in Wisconsin requires
every person who sells "ornamental
plants" to give the purchaser at the
time of delivery a certified statement of
such sale, giving the correct name, kind
and number of each variety sold and the
name and location of the place where
such ornamental plants were "fully
grown. ' '

"PLEASE SEND THE REVIEW."

The Review finds much encouragement
in the receipt of letters like the follow-
ing from a florist at South Framingham,
Mass. :

"Please send the Review to

, South Framingham, Mass., for

which I enclose hia dollar. The Review
is all right, as is shown by my advising
Mr. to take it in preference to

three others."

But what interests the publisher is
that the Review is all right enough for
a subscriber to take it upon himself to
take a friend's money and mail it in,
simply because he thinks the friend will
profit by having the Review; it must
be all right, sure enough.

The Review" frequently receives such
courtesies at the hands of its readers,
for which it not only returns thanks but
promises to provide an increasingly in-
teresting paper.

If the president of that new Michigan
life insurance company turns solicitor

Pbicelists recently to hand from some
of the potteries show ten per cent ad-
vance in prices on flower pots.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

The members of the committee of
fifty on National Flower Show will
please not overlook the meeting which
is called for 2:30 p. m., November 8, at
the Auditorium Annex, Chicago. The
committee will be pleased to receive and
consider any and all suggestions for the
strengthening of the big national exhibi-
tion of 1908.

Wm. F. Kasting, Chairman.

THE FARMERS' WEALTH.

There is only one thing needed to in-
sure good business for every florist, and
everyone else in this country. That one
' thing is money in the hands of the farm-
ers. A banker from a country town in
Illinois, visiting a Chicago florist last
week, remarked, "Why, this country is
richer than it ever was and business can-
not be otherwise than good this winter.
Our bank is full of money, and our de-
positors are all farmers. The prices they
are getting for their grain are the best
on record. I, myself, sold the corn off
my farm for 60 cents a bushel. The
farmers are buying automobiles and dis-
playing other evidences of wealth. One
man in our neighborhood felt so rich
after marketing his crop that he bought
a carload of automobiles and presented
one to each of his ten sons."

The government at Washington has a
big force of statisticians constantly at
work figuring on the country's crops
and their value. The figures are so
wonderful as to be almost beyond com-
prehension. The table below shows the
government's estimate of the quantity
of this year's crops, compared with last
year's, and the value of the crops of
1906 and 1907 on the farm. It shows
this year's value to be $324,000,000
greater than last year.

The following table shows the gov-
ernment's October estimates of this
year's yields of corn, wheat and oats:

Estimated yield. Yield,

1907. 1906.

Corn 2.500,000,000 2,963,000,000

Wheat 625,567,000 735,000,000

Oats 741,520,000 931,000,000

The approximate farm value of crops

is summarized as follows:

Farm-value, 1907. 1906.

Corn $1,375,000,000 $1,185,000,000

Wheat 531,000,000 519,000,000

Oats 333,000,000 300,000,000

Other products 1,717,000,000 1,628,000,000

Total value... $3,956,000,000 $3,632,000,000
Increase 324,000,000

DON'T LOSE IT.

You may have a little surplus stock
in some line — not much, perhaps, but
enough to cut quite a hole in the profit
made on the whole lot if this little sur-
plus is lost. But it isn't necessary to
lose it. Nearly always there is someone,
somewhere, who needs just that little
batch of plants. You can reach that
someone, everywhere, through a classi-
fied advertisement in the Review, at a
cost of 10 cents a line. Frequently a
30-cent advertisement will sell $30, $60
or more of stock, depending on its sea-
sonableness and abundance. Everyone
reads the Review's classified ads. Don't
let the little surplus go to waste.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

It is the general report that the de-
mand slackened to a considerable extent
last week but that various conditions
combined to make a decidedly active
market beginning October 28. As usual,
the growers cut lightly Sunday, so that
Monday 's receipts were lighter than in
the preceding days. A change to cold,
cloudy weather also had its effect on the
cuts of the following days. Local de-
mand being fair, shipping up to its usual
standard, and the All Saints' day de-
mand from the south heavier than ever,
served to create a strong pressure upon
the available supply. Monday is regu-
larly crowding Fnday for first place as
the heaviest shipping day in this mar-
ket. This week Monday's demand was
strengthened by a number of orders for
chrysanthemums for New Orleans. Tues-
day the bulk of the All Saints' day ship-

ments went out and the market was
cleaned. Wednesday there were further
heavy shipments for the south for All
Souls' day and it made three days of
especially heavy shipping.

The pressure of chrysanthemums is
not quite so strong as a week ago. Prob-
ably the reason is that the growers have
learned to refrain from crowding a weak
market and are not cutting all that they
might if the demand were stronger. All
the good mid-season sorts are now to be
had in quantity and the late varieties
are coming on. The rose growers con-
gratulate themselves that the chrysanthe-
mums will be out of the way earlier this
year than usual. Prices were decidedly
weak last week, but have been quite
satisfactory for the first three days of
the present period.

There are no special supplies of Beau-
ties, but enough to satisfy the demand.
Bichmond is in fine form with nearly all
growers, stems up to three feet long

being cut. Bride and Maid also have
improved materially. The other varie-
ties are in less active demand but clean-
ing out well.

The prices on carnations weakened
last week, but Monday inaugurated an-
other period of stiffening rates. The
supply does not increase rapidly, but
the quality is excellent. Violets are sell-
ing better than at any time this season,
but the supply is so large that prices are
held down. Quality is fine. Those grow-
ers who are cutting Easter lilies find
them cleaning out well. Valley is abun-
dant but in good demand.

There are all sorts of green goods,
except bronze galas, which brings $2 per
thousand.

Retailen' Premitmu.

Since publishing the final premium list
the executive committee of the Horticul-
tural Society has decided to offer $750 in
cash and one silver medal for the best

Poehlmann't Plans.

After building practically a million
feet of ridge and furrow houses the
Poehlmann Bros. Co. will next year
erect a big addition of detached struc-
tures.

August Poehlmann states that he be-
lieves ridge and furrow houses, all things
considered, are the best for general pur-
poses, but that the firm will for the
present build no more Beauty houses
other than detached structures. Plans
are still subject to change, so far as the
size of the addition goes, but the pres-
ent intention is to put up ten or pos-
sibly twelve detached houses, each 40x
350. They will be three-quarter-span to
the south, eight feet to the south plate,
ten feet to the north plate and nineteen
feet to the ridge. The houses will stand
fifteen feet apart.

Part of these houses will be erected
at each of the company's two plants
and in addition several ridge and furrow
houses will be added to each range, so
that the season's addition will be con-
siderably the largest the company ever
has built.

A contract has been made with Free-
man & Sons Cb., Eacine, Wis., for three
return tube boilers 72x18, of 150
horse-power each, for early delivery, and
three more similar boilers will be put
in next summer.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. also has let
contracts for the installation of a cold
storage plant at Morton Grove, the ap-
paratus to cost about $8,500,. exclusive of
the cost of the buildings. Not only are
two large cooling rooms for cut stock to
be provided, but rooms are to be piped
for the cold storage of valley pips, lily
bulbs and other stock now stored in pub-
lic warehouses. The Wolf ice machine
is to be used.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. has decided
to give the name of Mrs. Potter Palmer
to its rose heretofore known as Morton
Grove, the pink sport of Chatenay. Oc-
tober 28 Mrs. Palmer signified her ac-
ceptance of the honor.

Wienhoeber's Openings

For some months the E. Wienhoeber
Co. has been at work in the rooms above
the store on Elm street, which have
gained celebrity for their occupancy for
many years by Mansfield, the actor. The
space is now to be used for demonstrat-
ing rooms to show customers just how
floral work will look in use. The firm's
annual engagement book was sent out
this week and contained an invitation
to an opening of the demonstrating
rooms October 30 and 31. The attend-
ance of the elite on Wednesday was
large.

The E. Wienhoeber Co. had the deco-
rations October 30 for the wedding of
Marjorie Burns and Sidney C. Love,
house and church, one of the most elab-
orate of the season.

Flower Show Preparations.

Manager George Asmus is enthusiastic
over the prospects for the best show

Chicago ever has seen, and the press
agent, James Burdett, is sanguine as
to the crowds which will respond to th»
excellent notices the papers already are
giving. The show opens next week^
Wednesday, November 6, and carries
over until the following Tuesday. This
is an innovation and the result will be
watched with much interest. Sunday is
sure to be a big day, but opinion differs
as to whether the show has been pro-
longed by running into the next week
or whether interest wilj wane after Sun-
day. Manager Asmus has laid plans for
special features for Monday and Tues-
day to keep the crowd coming.

The final premium list was issued Oc-
tober 28 and may be had by address-
ing E. A. Kanst, assistant secretary^
5100 Cottage Grove avenue.

There will be a large attendance of
florists from outside the city and many
business houses, as well as the Florists'^
Club, are making preparations to en-
tertain them.

Excursion to JoUct.

A. T. Pyfer, manager of the Chicago-
Carnation Co., has issued an invitation ta
all florists visiting the Chicago flower
show to participate in an excursion ta
Joliet November 9. A special car will
be attached to the Eock Island train-
leaving at 11:45 a. m. Tickets will be-
furnished on application at the man-
ager's oflBce at the show, or by Mr..
Pyfer at the train.

greater than a year ago and the affair
a most gratifying success. Fitzgerald's
orchestra is on hand and the decorations
show that many wholesalers' employees
had their early training in retail estab-
lishments. The committee in charge
consists of John Enders, Charles Erne,
and H. W. Eodgers.

Various Notes.

Secretary Philip Schupp has sent out a
call for a special meeting of the Florists'
Qub at Handel hall October 31, to ar-
range final details for show week.

The telegraph companies have re-
opened their branch oflBces in the whole-
sale cut flower district, but the service
is yet far from what it should be.

George Walther, on Sixty-third street,
says business is all that he could expect
at this season.

J. A. Budlong cut the first Timothy
Eaton chrysanthemums October 28.
They were as big as ever.

Charles Bisch is the latest addition to
the staff of Weiland & Eisch. He is
from New York and a cousin of John
P. Risch.

Peter Eeinberg is cutting about the
best Eichmond roses in the history of the
establishment; stock that will be hard to
beat at the show next week.

N. J. Wietor says that the New Or-
leans demand this season was the heav-
iest the house of Wietor Bros, ever has

experienced. On Tuesday each of two
orders called for 500 chrysanthemums,
and 600 of the lot were at 25 cents
each. Their Appleton are gone and Bon-
naffon is sent for yellow.

C. W. MeKellar is handling large
quantities of green goods and has among
other things cut fronds of Adiantum
Farleyense that bring what look like
high prices to those who use cuneatum.

George Eeinberg is having better suc-
cess with chrysanthemums than any pre-
vious year. Just now he is cutting more
Bonnaffon than any other sort and has
finely finished stock.

The A. L. Eandall Co. is handling
Adiantum Croweanum from Peter Crowe,
Utiea, N. Y. A bunch of it is as large
as half a dozen bunches of cuneatum.

E. Fransen, manager of the selling
end for Scheiden & Schoos, says their red
seedling carnation is better this year
than last and that it brings more money
than any other red on the place. They
have no present thought of sending it
out to the trade.

October 25 George Baer, of Toledo,
began his annual shipments of Bonnaf-
fon to the Kennicott Bros. Co., show-
ing that mums at Toledo also are earlier
than usual, the same as in this vicinity.

Bassett & Washburn have concluded
that they vrill disseminate their red car-
nation, Orland P. Bassett, originally
known as No. 20, during the approach-

ing season. The flowers thus far cut
are excellent and the stems especially
good. John Mangel and one out-of-town
customer have had all the flowers so far
at 4 cents each.

A. I. Simmons is making use of his
1905 flower show medal for advertising.
The Englewood Times recently gave him
a good send-off on it.

At E. H. Hunt's, C. M. Dickinson says
the supply department already is feel-
ing the approach of the holidays, the
demand being stronger than ever at this
season.

Frederick Sperry, of Vaughan &
Sperry, is entertaining his father and
his sister, Miss lone Sperry, from Con-
neaut, O. Mrs. Sperry recently returned
from Colorado.

The trade thinks this year's flower
show poster the best up to date.

E. E. Pieser took advantage of last
week's flurry in Wall street to become a
partner of Eockefeller in the Standard
Oil Co.

E. C. Amling says he thinks the mar-
ket for mums quite a little weaker this
year than last, although he is getting
for his growers as much per square foot
of space as last year, which he says is
largely due to the fact that the stock is
the best ever. But Mr. Amling gays he
can trace back for years a steady annual
decline in the average prices of any
given grade of mums. He thinks it is

due entirely to increased production and
not to any decrease in popularity of the
flower.

The E. F. Winterson Co. is doing a
nice business with well colored oak foli-
age, which the retailers like, not only
for decorations but to put up with chrys-
anthemums in cut flower work.

The burial of James Beddick, the pol-
itician, made a big call for funeral work
Monday and Tuesday.

John Evert is marketing a big cut of
mums at his father 's stand at the Flower
Growers' market.

Among the week 's visitors were J. W.
Ludwig and daughter, Allegheny, Pa.,
who were guests of Victor Bergman, of
E. Wienhoeber 's staff; F. W. Ritter,
Dayton, O.

QNONNATL

The Market.

Business continues much as last re-
ported. The demand is good and the
total sales average well up with last
year, which is saying a good deal. I do
not believe that as a whole the mums
are averaging as well, though last year
was an exceptional one and I think
everyone ought to be satisfied as it is.
A few large decorations helped to move
the stock. Funeral work was better. So-
ciety does not seem to have awakened
as yet. Only now and then is there any-
thing of note, so that the florists are
making a rather poor haul in that re-
spect. It is to be hoped that these con-
ditions will not last much longer.

Mums are coming in large quantities
and the mid-season varieties are with us.
It is a pleasure to see some of our old
standby varieties come in, as the trade
knows their qualities and buys them
without question. Many of the newer
Borts are unknown and still more of

them will not stand up with the old-time,
tried sorts. It is hard to find a better
all-round yellow than Bonnaffon or a
better medium white than little Ivory.
They, together with some others of the
old varieties, are the surest sellers in
the business.

ginning to get off crop. The last few
weeks they have been selling poorly and
the supply has been heavy, but with the
supply growing less every day we can
soon look for better things from them.
Beauties are not very plentiful, but the
demand for them is not so strong now
and we have plenty to go around.
Carnations continue scarce, and from

the outlook it will be some time till
there is really a good supply of them.
At present it is just as well that they^
are scarce, for with the mum in first
place there would not be so much de-
mand for them. As it is, they will most
probably be in good crop when most
wanted. Violets are just about equal to
the demand. Valley is selling very well.
Other lilies are in good demand, with
a fair supply.

Small bunched white mums find a
ready market for funeral work; in fact,
all funeral work flowers sell well.
Green goods are in good supply and
selling well.

Various Notes.

D. Rusconi is now nicely fixed up in
his new location at 128 West Sixth
street. He has gone into the retail cut
flower business in conjunction with his
wholesale and retail bulb and plant busi-
ness, and it is now rumored that he will
do a wholesale cut flower business as
well. Mr. Rusconi has always done a
good business in this locality and is well
known and liked by the trade in general.

George & Allan report that they will
not force quite so many bulbs this year
as last, but still the amount will be
enprmous. They have been making a
specialty of bulb forcing for many years
and their product is known for its high
quality all over this section of the coun-
try.

Ben George has been suffering with a
very heavy cold for a long time. On
several occasions he has been obliged to
stop work for a day or two. The cold
was one of those summer kinds which
are so hard to lose. At last reports he
was getting better.

A. Sunderbruch 's Sons report business
as very good, on an average, this fall.
This firm is one of the most successful
in this city, and if they report that

Among the visitors were M. Shattles,
of Lion & Co., New York, and B. Esch-
ner, who is too well known to nee^ an

large line of up-to-date samples of all
kinds of florists' supplies and reports

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The last week's trade among the local
florists was not as good as expected. In-
terest centered in the international bal-
loon races and our trade suffered. So-
ciety did little entertaining and tran-
sient trade downtown fell off greatly.
Now that the fall festivities have ended,
business in the cut flower line will be-

come more steady; at least, we expect it
to be. The bulk of work done was for
funerals and a few small weddings.
Some of the uptown florists have booked
quite a number of good wedding orders
for the first part of next month, which
they say will require a lot of first-class
stock and decorative plants.

The wholesale market is stocked up
with almost anything the store man
wants and there seems to be plenty of
it. The wholesalers report quite a good .
shipping trade of late, which helped
them to use up some of their surplus
stock.

Chrysanthemums are at their height
now and the demand for white and yel-
low is good, with some extra fancy stock
coming in. Boscs are in plenty, but the
demand is slow and prices are away
down in all grades and will remain this
way until mums are over.

Carnations are not yet what they
should be, but the demand seems quite
good in all colors ana grades. En-

chantress and white have the call, with
the top price at 3 cents.

- There is plenty of good valley in the
market and violets are becoming better
almost every day. Colder weather will
bring them on edge. The recent frosts
have killed all outdoor stock. Every-
thing in greens is plentiful with all the
whole^talers.

Various Notes.

President Young and Secretary Bent-
zen, of the St. Louis Florists' Club, will
meet this week with the trustees of the
club to make arrangements for enter-
taining visiting florists during flower
show week. The meeting of the club will
take place Thursday afternoon, Novem-
ber 14, and President Young states that
all visitors will be invited to partake
of refreshments, and cigars will be
served at the meeting hall during the
afternoon.

Brix, on St. Louis avenue, was well re-

paid. Mr. Brix is making great prep-
arations for liis flower show, whicli takes
place November 7 to 9 in the Y. M. C.
A. building, Nineteenth street and St.
Louis avenue, to which the public will
be invited free. The members of the
Florists' Club have accepted an invita-
tion to visit the show in a body on Fri-
day, November 8, which will be known
.IS florists' day. On this day Mr. Brix
lias some surprises in store for the
trade.

Jules Bourdet, at South A'andeventer
avenue, has the finest lot of cyclamen
plants seen for many days. Mr. Bourdet
is also cutting extra fine yellow and
white chrysanthemum blooms, which are
consigned to W. C. Smith & Co.

The Riessen Floral Co. decorated sev-
eral swell dinners at the downtown ho-
tels, given in honor of visiting balloon-
ists last week.

H. Baer, of Peoria, and Swan Peter-
son, of Gibson City, 111., are sending in
to this market a fine quality of carnation
blooms in several varieties. Among them
Enchantress is supreme. This stock is
handled by C. A. Kuehn.

J. F. Windt, on Bayard avenue, has
his large show house filled with extra fine
chrysanthemum plants in full bloom.
Mr. Windt had two large wedding deco-
rations last week and reports the busi-
ness fairly on for the season.

C, Schlueter, at Fourteenth street and
St. Louis avenue, reports an extra good
demand for plants of all kinds. His
show house, adjoining his store, shows a
fine selection. Mr. Healy, the manager,
says funeral work was abundant last
week.

George Angermueller, who is handling
Heller Bros.' consignment to this mar-
ket, is receiving a lot of extra long
Beauties and other good roses, as well
;is good chrysanthemimis.

.Tnmps Young, president of the C.

Young & Sons Co., reports that the firm
is doing a large trade in bulbs this fall,
lK)th local and shipping. The cut
flower department has been busy so far
this season with decorations and funeral
work.

William Winter, of Kirkwood, and A.
Jablonsky, of Central, are consigning to
Henry Berning extra good quality of
stock in carnations and roses. The de-
mand for these is suffering a little, ow-
ing to the demand for chrysanthemums.

Robert J. Windier and Conrad Berg-
fitcrman, on South Grand avenue, report
a nice season's business in cut flower
work and decorations. Pretty window
decorations of mums are seen here daily.

The Bentaen Floral Co., Mr. Huette-
mann, the Mullanphy Floral Co. and
John Quinn, florists along North Grand
avenue, are having a good run of busi-
ness in funeral work, decorations and
blooming ])lants. These places also have
attractive window displays.

The St. Louis Horticultural Society is
making great preparations for its fall
flower show, which takes place Novem-
ber 12 to 15, in the United Railway
Co. 's new hall, at Grand and Park ave-
nues. The executive committee holds
meetings weekly now and a fine exhibi-
tion is looked for. The executive com-
mittee is composed of men who are
known as workers and will leave noth-
ing undone to make the show a success.
The feature of the show will again be
the Henry Shaw prizes. These, with the
local and outside entries, should make a
show which should be a credit to the
young society. J. J. B.

NEWYORK.

The Market.

Chatham, N. Y.— R. E. Shuphelt,
accompanied by his mother and sister,
sailed from New York October 23 on
the Clyde line steamship Huron, to spend
the winter at Fruitland Park, Fla.

T^ast week was the most strenuous ever
known in the metropolis. The upheaval
in financial circles has been the one sub-
ject of conversation and has affected all
business interests. It goes without say-
ing that the influence on metropolitan
floriculture was disastrous. Strange to
say, ten miles outside of the city there
lias been no excitement, no loss, no les-
sening of enterprise and faith in the fu-
ture, and, apart from New York, all is
good cheer, and hope, and optimism. So
will it be here when the clouds have
flown and common-sense rules and public
confidence is reestablished.

Naturally, with this nervous and un-
stable condition comes the enforced re-
duction in the retail florists' trade, a
result invariable when economy is forced
upon the public. But underlying all the
disturbed equanimity of business men,
remain the foundations of the nation's
prosperity, and before Thanksgiving day
arrives we shall all be realizing the fact
that there is much remaining to be
thalikful for and that all is well.

Beauties are abundant and, like every
other cut flower, lower in price and like-
ly to bo as long as the chrysanthemum
flood i>our8 in. The receipts of the lat-
ter are enormous and the variety and
(juality have never been excelled.

All prices have fallen, as usual when
the mum is king. It is the inevitable
rule for these weeks before the turkey
holiday. Why should this year prove an
exception? Memory and experience make
one patient when the past is considered
and we realize that what has been will
be again.

Carnations grow daily in size and stem
and variety, but prices are lower than a

week ago. Violets hold their own, when
they are perfect. A lot of inferior stock
comes in and gets what it deserves. But
good violets begin to be appreciated once
more and the tendency of values is up-
wards. Of other cut flow^ers, including
valley, the orchid and gardenia, the No-
vember weddings and the society events,
the horse show, the auto shows and the
<]inners in honor of duchesses and
l^rinces, will hold these steady, whatever
betides. The crop of millionaires is
large and the few who have lost their
tail feathers in the slump will soon be
forgotten. The coming season will be
brilliant in fforal display and after
Thanksgiving and election are past, and

financial waters are no longer tempest-
uous, we will hear no more of hard times
and bad business and will look on the
bright side of things again.

Thankfsiving Prospect

Ford Bros, gave me their list of mum
arrivals October 28 and they included
Halliday, Touset, Appleton, Alice Byron,
Coombes, Ivory, Bonnaffon, Bobinson
and Balfour. Every wholesale window is
resplendent. This year has never been
equaled in quantity and superb quality
of the stock shipped to the New York
market. The prospect for a Thanksgiv-
ing shipping trade was never brighter,
for out-of-town retailers close to New

York are doing the biggest business on
record. If the volume of sales in the
city is lessened by prevailing conditions,
it must be recognized that business, in
general, in the cities of the state and
Jersey and New England give no e^-
dence of lessened enterprise and believe
in a continuation of the era of pros-
perity.

Various Notes.

Many of the retailers had their money
in the banks that closed their doors last
week. The wholesale contingent was
more fortunate. One or two had de-
posits with the Knickerbocker or the
Lincoln, but the majority will suffer no

inconvenience. In due time all the insti-
tutions in New York and Brooklyn, it
is believed, will pay dollar for dollar.

The retail windows, with their oak foli-
age, prize mums, orchids and new cre-
ations in vases and baskets, are a dream.
It would be an endless task to specify
' the artists who have realized their op-
. portunities and made these window dec-
• orations worthy of the city.

Arthur Herriugton was in town Octo-
ber 28, preparing for the Madison ex-
hibition, which he says will pass all its
predecessors. This will be Thursday and
Friday. At Bed Bank, on Wednesday
and Thursday, the Monmouth County
Horticultural Society will celebrate.

Next week, November 6 to 8, we have
exhibitions at Tarrytown and Glen Cove,
and on the same days, November 6 to 8,
the Clhrysanthemum Society of America
will have its annual show at the Amer-
ican Institute in this city, 19 to 21 West
Forty-fourth street, unfortunately so
cramped for room that to do itself jus-
tice is out of the question. A grand
exhibit, however, is assured and Pres.
Totty and all the expert mum growers in
and around us will display their novelties
to the limit of the room afforded.

The establishment of a protective as-
sociation by the wholesale florists is now-
assured. Preliminary meetings have
been largely attended, and those not
present are quite certain to join their
brethren in the scheme. Every whole-
saler has evinced a practical willingness
to bind himself to the fulfillment of the
obligations. The i>rospect8 for a union
of the Plant Growers' Association with
this organization are also encouraging.
With the two interests acting in com-
mon, and loyal to each other, there can
be no question of the benefits accruing
to all concerned. It will inaugurate a
new era in credit giving, similar to that
HO effective in the fruit markets, with
clearing hou^e methods that will soon
eliminate the men who do not pay their
bills and place the retail business on
«ucii a basis that benefit must come to
all. The infamy of dishonest methods
and inexcusably long credits will cease,
and the men who deserve to succeed will
no longer be forced to compete with the
class who i)ay only when they have to
and, when opportunity and inclination
join hands, do not pay at all. Whole-
salers pay their growers every week. It
is a poor rule that does not work both
ways.

Traendly & Schenek are giving a
chrysanthemum show every morning at
their headquarters on Twenty-eighth
street. Such Appleton, Coombes and
Eaton as one sees here are hard to beat;
50 cents each, $5 a dozen, are the pre-
vailing figures as the week opens for
these immense blooms.

.Tames Hart supplies nearly a dozen
hotels with palms and flowering plants,
and last week had a big order for hedg-
ing at New Bochelle. To all of these
the veteran gives his personal attention.

A. Warendorflf now confines his atten-

1193 Broadway, having disposed of liis

Mrs. Theodore Lang will open the

Fifty-third street this week, an excellent
location.

O. V, Zangen finds the venture into

Avhich is far ahead of last year's record

The Riiins Eastern Market.

Couditions seem just a trifle disap-
I)uinting. There is business, but not
•juite so much a« was confidently pre-
dicted when the first frost had destroyed
many of the outdoor flowers. Consider-
ing the enormous quantity of chrysanthe-
mums coming into the market, and the
fact that other flowers are coming in
freely, business is fully up to the stajid-
ard of previous years, excepting only in
comparison with the wonderful strides
made last October, when early frosts and
H scarcity of indoor flowers kept the
early chrysanthemums on the run for
the entire month. The demand for
chrysanthemums appears to be strongest
for the medium grades of white. Fan-
cies are not so easily disposed of, while
the common stock is unsatisfactory.
The midseason varieties are now at their
best. Col. Appleton, Major Bonnaflfon
and Florence Harris are the leading
yellows. Mrs. Henry Robinson, White
Balsley, Alice Byron and Ivory lead the
whites. Harry Balsley, W^illiam Duck-
ham and Pink Ivory are the best pinks.

Violets have improved to a degree that
warrants the listing of singles in two
grades, the fancies being superb, while
the ordinary stock is excellent when not
compared with the others. Cattleyas are
a trifle less plentiful. There have never
been so many in this market before.
The orchid list is strengthened by the
arrival of Vanda cserulea. Mignonette
has made its appearance. Adiantum
Croweanum is meeting with ready sale.
Smilax has fallen off a little as com-
pared with a week ago, when it rose
unexpectedly, selling above listed quota-
tions. The quality of valley in this
market has created a steady demand,
which is well maintained over a wide
stretch of territory.

Carnations show improvement. The
supply has fallen off a little and the
demand is excellent, so that prices rule
firmer. Beauties are fully up to their
standard. Richmonds are increasing in
numbers. The quality is now good.
Brides are selling better than Brides-
maids. Killarney is becoming a factor.

Alfred Btirton'a.

When the Flower Market first became
prominent as a competitor in the business
of this city it was a common thing for
the anti-market people to say that ' * with-
out Alfred Burton the market would not
amount to much." Be that as it may,
while the Flower Market had many other
consignors as well as stall-holders, Alfred
Burton was a prominent factor, indeed,
in their daily business. Every market
employee, from Dick to Daddy and Miss
Miles to Miss Lathrop, felt a personal
pride in securing the best possible re-
turns for Mr. Burton. Fortunately, it
also so happened that Mr. Burton had
Liberties of a quality which at that time
was most rare, to say nothing of the
Beauties of the true Burton brand. The
result I can give you in Mr. Burton's
own words: "I had a good thing of it
that year."

Alfred Burton has his entire place
planted with Beauties and Liberties,
except for an odd hundred plants of the
western rose. Miss Kate Moulton. His
plants are aJl in solid beds except the
house added last summer, where the
Beauties have been tried in benches with
cement bed foundations by way of the
anchor to leeward. The points liat most
impress the visitor at Mr. Burton 's place
are the ease by which any point may be
reached, the houses being all open be-
tween ; the extreme lightness of the struc-
ture, its strength, and probable durabil-
ity. One is also impressed with the
general vigor of the stock, and what may

be termed the field methods of culture,
I suppose due to coddling and excessive
zeal in cropping. An effort is evidently
made to secure roses when they are
desired, but the crops are harvested at
every season of the year and contribute
to the increased demand for choice red
roses at all times. Mr. Burton's stock
of flowers attracts attention daily with
the S. S. Pennoek-Meehan Co.

Dahlias at Dreer'a.

The gems of the dahlia family this
year are the new Holland peony-flowered
varieties. These varieties may be best
described as improved singles of the
Twentieth Century type. They are in
reality semi-double, having two rows of
petals, of enormftus size and exquisitely
colored. George A. Strohlein, who se-
cured the stock of this type of dahlias
for his company, describes his experience
entertainingly. Mr. Strohlein said that
while on an azalea trip on the Continent
he heard of this wonderful dahlia and
called on the originator. The place
proved so out-of-the-way that Mr. Stroh-
lein had great difficulty in finding it
and arrived about 9 o'clock in the even-
ing. The originator at once conducted
him to the garden, where, with the aid
or a lantern, they picked a few of the
flowers. Mr. Strohlein took these to his
hotel and was astonished at their size
and beauty. When he inquired the price
of the entire stock the figure was so high
as to remove it from the realms of busi-
ness. Arrangements were finally made,
however, for a portion of the stock. Al-
though the flowers have not yet attained
the size in this country that they have
reached in Holland, they are a distinct

improvement on anything in the market
today.

The leading varieties of this class are :
Queen Wilhelmina, pure white; Queen
Emma, lavender pink overlaid with
golden yellow, very large ; Glory of
Baarn, soft rose; Paul Kruger, carmine
suffused and tipped with white; Duke
Henry, carmine red; Germania, straw-
berry red, fluffy, artistic flowers.

There are 317 new varieties of dahlias
on trial; some of them have already
proven their worth. Souv. de Gustave
Douzon, a new French variety, seems
to he of unusual merit for cut flowers.
It belongs in the decorative class ; it
is of unusual size; the flowers are of
bright scarlet and can be cut with long
stems. Also in this class is Colosse, red
suffused with carmine, of immense size;
a very full double flower.

Following are a few of the many ex-
cellent varieties which Mr. Clark has
kindly picked out:

Cactus — Country Girl, golden yellow
suffused with bronze red; Havel, nym-
phaea-form, fiery salmon, very free;
Prince of Yellows, clear yellow, long
stems, free blooms, good cut flower vari-
ety; Rohland von Berlin, cinnabar scar-
let, large flowers of fine form; Rosy
Morn, pink, lighter center to tips, a very
pretty variety; Aurora, rose, shading to
white tips, pale yellow center, a very
delicate and beautiful combination of
colors; Pink Pearl, rose-pink, tipped
white, a beautiful flower; Frau Hermine
Marx, delicate silvery rose, a very full
double flower, desirable as a cut flower
variety; Lavinia, pure white, very double
flowers; W. H. Sillem, intense crimson,
very large; Gottelinde, clear yellow;
Horn of Plenty, carmine, shaded plum;
Else, rosy white, tipped yellow center,
very pretty; Amos Perry, scarlet, long
petals, very fine; Keyne's White, pure
white, fine.

Collarette — Maurice Rivoire, rich car-
mine, pure white florets of large size;
Gazelle, purple, yellow florets, large
flowers; Exposition de Lyon, crimson,
large white florets, very free bloomer.

Single — Frau Van der Zyphen, white,,
each petal edged with scarlet, -a large,
fancy flower; Ami Barrilet, dark foliage,
scarlet flowers; Anemone, large white,
fine; Black Bird, maroon, very free.

Pompon — Ganymede, clear amber; San
Toy, white, tipped rose; Cheerfulness,
golden yellow, carmine tips; Snowclad,
white.

Decorative — Orange King, orange, very
fine; F. L. Bassett, glowing magenta
purple, very free; Mrs. Winters, white;
fine flower; Mme. Van den Dael, pink
and white, very fine, one of the best cut
flower varieties.

The dahlias, both at Locust Farm and
at Riverton, are in splendid condition,
having made remarkable growth during
their three months in the field; the
tubers are large and well developed.
Mr, Clark believes that the tuber is the
proper medium for the dissemination of
the dahlia, as plants grown from roots
are far more satisfactory than those
grown from cuttings. The method of
housing these dahlias has been so sys-
tematized as to render mixing, even of
so large a number of varieties, almost an
impossibility to workmen whose min<ls
are on their work.

The Firtt Cabinet MeeHne.

The first cabinet meeting under tlie
new administration was held in the
Florists' Club's room October 25. The
secretary of the treasury was unavoid-
ably detained by press of business, while
the new secretary of horticulture was
out of the city. Those present were the
vice-president, the secretary of state, the
secretary of the interior, the chief of the
bureau of registration, the commissioner
of publication, and the leader of the
opposition. Why the president had asked
the leader troubled the street greatly.
Opinions differed, some believing that
his presence was purely accidental, while
others insisted that this was evidence of
the new administration's desire for har-
mony, pointing out, in support of that
idea, the selection made for the new
department of horticulture and its ad-
vancement to a position of great promi-
nence.

While all the members present were-
reticent as to what actually took placo,
it was learned on excellent authority that

the president uufolded his plans for the
coming year, chief of which were in the
direction of securing desirable exhibits
for the monthly meetings, interesting
florists with a view to their becoming
members, and making the club both use-
ful and entertaining to all. While there
was a little sparring among the members
of the cabinet concerning precedence,
there was an evident desire on the part
of each member to do all in his power
to further the common interests and
support the president in his plans. The
vice-president was named as head of the
bureau of physical culture.

Variotts Notes.

The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving fine
shipments of Bichmond roses from sev-
eral of its specialists, that show that this
grand rose is rapidly coming into winter
form. The company has added gardenias
to its list; they will be handled regularly.

Walter P. Stokes will give an informal
talk on forcing lily of the valley before
the Florists ' Club next Tuesday evening,
November 5. The quality of stock sent
in by Mr. Stokes from his Floracroft
greenhouses at Moorestown, N. J., is too
well known to require comment.

William P. Craig* will distribute the
new hybrid tea rose, Mrs. Jardine, for
Robert Scott & Son.

The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. has
added Vanda cserulea to its list of
orchids. Boxwood and leucothoe sprays
are other additions. Mignonette, too, is
now on the list. , .

Last week I stated in this column that
Franklin Ely, of the Henry F. Michell
Co., is a son of the late Zebulon de
Forest Ely. This was an error.

The chrysanthemum show of the
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society will
be held November 12 to 15. Premium
lists may be secured by Addressing the
secretary, David Rust, Horticultural hall,
Broad and Locust streets, Philadelphia.

Mrs. R. J. C. Walker has contributed
prizes amounting to over $300 to the
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 's
November show.

W. E. McKissick is handling early
pompon chrysanthemums in quantity.
They find ready sale.

E. A. Harvey, of Brandywine Summit,
Pa., was in the city October 25, Mr.

Harvey, wlio lias been ill with typhoid
fever, is rapidly gaining strength.

Edward Reid is shipping quantities of
Adiantum Croweanum, They are excep-
tionally fine.

Alfred M. Campbell is handling a
beautiful English single chrysanthemum,
Ladysmith, pink-petaled, yellow center.
It is produced in sprays like a pompon
and is very graceful.

Berger Bros, are receiving some of the
finest Appleton chrysanthemums seen this
season. Phil.

EscANABA, Mich.— C. Peterson & Sons
will hold their second annual flower show
October 31 to November 4. C. Peterson,

Pleasant Hill, Mo. — During the four
weeks that have elapsed since the explo-
' sion of the boiler at Geo. M. Kellogg 's
greenhouses, the plant has been restored
to fair working condition. It required
1,000 boxes of glass to repair the sixty-
seven houses, all of which had been
damaged by falling fragments from the
boiler-room. In place of the five boil-
ers that were wrecked, two large and
two small boilers have now been put in
operation and are giving good service.
Two or three more boilers will be in-
stalled next month, and then the place
will be in readiness for the severest
winter. The repairs and extra expenses
have amounted to about $20,000.

Keports from the milling of beans
add nothing of a reassuring nature.

Some of the atlvance price lists of
European seedsnieu withhold prices on

The corn has had good curing weath-

There is a considerable difference of
opinion among the catalogue makers as
to what onion seed will be worth.

In Holland Alaska peas are offered
at 18 shillings, $4.32, per cwt., and
American Wonder at 23 shillings.

Cucumber seed, particularly the pick-
ling sorts, promises to give trouble to the
wholesalers who have been careless about
prices.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
shows that in 1906 the United States
imported 458,041 bushels of beans and
dried peas. Of these 127,709 bushels
came from Canada and 111,737 from
Mexico, while only 4,066 came from the
United Kingdom, but the latter had an
average value of $3.54 per bushel as
against $1.45 per bushel for the entire
year's imports.

The new Wisconsin law making it
compulsory for seedsmen doing business
in that state to print on each package
the year of growth and the percentage
of purity of the seed enclosed therein,
will place them in a peculiar position. It
is asking more from them than their
competitors in other states are called
upon to do in conducting a similar line
of business and is a discrimination
against them that is not just.

HMONG the most carefully selected
muskmelons that have reached the eastern
markets this fall were those from Ord-
yvay, Colo., a station on the Missouri Pa-
cific about ten miles north of Rocky
Ford. The shipping association there
has taken much care to send out only
perfect fruit and has been putting Bur-
rell's Gem on the market in splendid
condition. The pink flesh is its distin-
guishing mark to the buyers. |

CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA.

Every seedsman will be interested in
the following letter from A. J. Pieters,
president of the A. J. Pieters Seed Co.,
Hollister, Cal., dated October 25:

"We have not yet finished cleaning,
the season here having been unusually
cool and late.

' ' In regard to the condition of the
seed industry on this coast, we believe
that the coming year bids fair to be a
more satisfactorj' one in many ways
than the past has been. Rains have
begun early and we should be able to
get the crops in early. Early planting,
other things being equal, will give us
better crops and earlier deliveries. There
will be little surplus in the hands of
the growers by the time all deliveries
are made, and that little should move,
if reports from Europe and from the
east are correct, long before the new
crop is in sight.

least, at better prices than we got last
season. It is still too early to 8a,y what
the growers are going to do about onion
seed prices for next year. One large
grower has already come out with prices
that, to say the least, seem moderate.
Other growers have so far declined to
make prices. It probably all depends on
the crop of bulbs they believe they have
in f.ight. The one element in the situa-
tion that will tend to put prices up, if
nothing else will, is the labor problem.
This is becoming very serious, especially
so since the exclusion of the Japanese
that formerly came over from the
islands. Practically all the hand work
on the seed farms is done by Japanese
or by Chinese labor, and these people
Imve not been slow to see their oppor-
tunity in the present situation, with the
result that the price of labor has been
steadily going up, and bids fair to be
higher next year than it was this.

' * Representing so large a part of the
expense of producing a seed crop, the
cost of the labor must inevitably affect the
price of seed. Of course, indirectly
this will have an effect on the quality,
as, no matter how hard a grower tries
to put out first-class seed, he cannot,
without a substantial increase in what
he gets for the seed, afford to put the
present high-priced labor on the rogu-
ing and selecting. If the dealers want
good seeds they can get them from al-
most any of the growers here, but not
at the prices that have prevailed in the
recent past. ' '

HEINEMANN'S NOVELTIES.

The leading novelty in the list of F.
C. Heinemann, Erfurt, Germany, is the
Eros pansy. It is a large flower, of
deep, velvety brown, with a broad golden
yellow margin. The chief characteris-
tic of the variety is that, like the Freya
pansy, the back of each bloom has the
same broad margin as the front. Heine-
mann also has for this season three nefr
colors of his Emperor salpiglossis :
Faust, black; Purple-brown with Gold
and Lilac with Gold. The first of these
is without any marking and is something
entirely out of the ordinary. Last year
Heinemann introduced a Princess pink
(Dianthus laciniatus punctatus) with
ground colors of lighter shades, but this
year his offering is a variety of dark
purplish violet and blood red ground
color. Meteor is the name given to a

THE POSTAL PROGRESS DINNER.

As the guest of honor of W. Atlee
Burpee, Postmaster General George von
L. Meyer met at dinner at the Union
League, at Philadelphia, Saturday even-
ing, October 26, a distinguished com-
pany of manufacturers, merchants and
financiers and discussed with them plans
for the improvement of the service, no-
tably in the direction of enlarging the
scope of the parcels post, and the estab-
lishment of postal savings banks.

These are two things about which
there exists a difference of opinion
among the business and financial inter-
ests, and following the address of Mr.
Meyer there was an interesting discus-
sion in which two noteworthy partic-
ipants were former Postmaster General
John Wanamaker and United States Sen-
ator Boies Penrose, whose work on the
Committee on PostoflBces and Post Boads
gives him an insight into the workings
of the department.

W. Atlee Burpee, the host of the even-
ing, has long been a member of the Pos-
tals Committee of the Board of Trade,
and in addition is a vigorous advocate
of the parcels post. To meet General
Meyer he invited the most notable men
in th4 city and the 100 or more who
gathered about the banquet table at the
League represented the city 's largest in-
terests. The tables were decorated in
red and the room presented a magnifi-
cent appearance. Mr. Burpee presided
and at his right was the guest of the
evening. Mr. Burpee, in introducing
Postmaster General Meyer, referred to
the need of postal reforms and declared
that one law, at least, under which the
department was conducting business
dated from 1792. "That is too far back
even for conservative Philadelphia," he
declared, amid laughter.

The address of the Postmaster General
was a forecast of the things he will ask
of congress in his forthcoming annual
report. These include:

"The extension of the parcels post,
by increasing the weight limit, reducing
the rates, and extending the service to
the rural free delivery.

"The establishment of postal savings
banks on a basis where they will not con-
flict with established financial interests.

"The introduction of slot machines
and other devices to give greater facili-
ties for the purchase of stamps.

BULBS NEAR BELUNGHAM.

After a number of years of coopera-
tive experimental work, much of which
was carried on in and near Bellingham,
Wash., the United States Bureau of
Plant Industry has decided to establish
somewhere on Puget sound, if prac-
ticable, a regular station of ten or a
dozen acres for the further investigation
and exploitation of bulb culture in the
Puget sound country. This wUl be done
under the direct management and per-
sonal supervision of Henry E. Juene-
mann, bulb expert of the Department of
Agriculture, who has had charge ox the
bulb experiments of the government for
the last six years and who has spent the
last year conducting experiments at Bel-
lingham, Tacoma and Spokane, with
headquarters at Bellingham.

L. M. Morrison, assistant in charge of
the Bureau of Plant Industry, has been
on the ground during the last week, and
it is understood that he is authorized to
close negotiations for a suitable tract of
land and formally establish the station
under contract for ten years. The re-
quirements are that the land must be
ready for cultivation and must include a
suitable residence for the superintendent
and other buildings, all of which to be
furnished free of cost to the bureau.

Blentlon The Review when you write.

So far as the matter of informing the
bureau is concerned, the work of experi-
menting has progressed to the final stage
and there is no longer any question as
to the future of the flower bulb industry
in the Puget sound region. The experi-
ments have conclusively demonstrated
that the bulbs can be successfully grown
here on a commercial scale and in com-
petition with the best bulbs of Holland.
It will be the purpose of the prospective
experimental station to demonstrate suc-
fessful methods of growing the bulbs in
the various soils of the Puget sound re-
gion and to issue bulletins explaining the
details of the business.

THE BEST SWEET PEAS.

We have compiled the following list
from our classified order book, say C. C.
Morse & Co., to indicate the compara-
tive popularity of the different varieties
of sweet peas as proved by actual orders
for seeds, which must represent sales,
and naturally prove what the public is
using. This list is based on this sea-
son's contract orders, beginning witli
I^ng Edward VII, with 9,000 pounds,
and so on with smaller amounts to the
fiftieth. The orders represent an aver-
age of 100 dealers, the largest in Amer-
ica and England. The most heavily
ordered twenty-five are named in order
in the first column, the second twenty-
five in order in the second column.

NASTURTIUM PEREGRINUM.

Speaking of Nasturtium peregrinum,
the canary bird flower or canary creeper,
Sluis & (iroot, Enkhuizen, Holland, say:

' ' The steady growth in the demand
for this really very valuable climbing an-
nual in various countries, induces us to
draw more particular attention to it in
America.

' ' The appropriate popular name for
this lovely climber is derived from the
shape and color of its flower, which re-
sembles a canary j)erched on the twigs
of a tree.

"The plant flowers abundantly, and
its' well-shaped, fine yellow flowers are
very effective upon the tender green foli-
age.

"It is one of those climbers that do
not make too much straw, as some others
do, giving a rather disorderly, wild ap-
])earance to a small garden in the autumn.
This very attractive, neat plant, however,
is still a quick grower, and flowers freely,
when there are no early frosts, till al-
most Christmas. For this rea.son it has
bft<'ome a great favorite for c"overing
veranda railings, balconies, etc.

"It is easily cultivated and seldom
rauses disappointments to amateur gar-
deners. It attaches itself well to any
support without particular care in guid-
ing it. .\ltogether it is naturally (Jestined

to grow more and more a flower of
large demand, as it comes within the
reach of the public.

' ' Having grown this flower for ten
or twelve years on an ever-increasing
scale, we have been able to grow it at
a more moderate price than it was of-
fered formerly, and considering the above
it will soon be a flower for the million,
and we would therefore strongly recom-
mend that particular attention be paid
to this popular climber."

NOTES FROM HOLLAND.

Bulb growers have no reason to com-
plain, as nearly all sorts of bulbs have
cleared oiit at fair prices, and although
hyacinths have not sold as freely as was
at first expected, the surplus is not of
such importance as to justify any grum-
bling. Crocuses have been selling at a
premium, as was expected, and espe-
cially yellow crocuses have been in un-
usually good demand.

Planting operations are now in full
swing with all the growers and from the
present outlook it is almost certain that
the area of hyacinths planted out again
will be materially reduced, whereas tulip
stocks have increased considerably.

Darwin tulips also have been in un-
usually good demand and especially the
choicer sorts are now getting more into
public favor than has ever been the case
before. — Horticultural Trade Journal.

A FINE DAHLIA.

Maurice Fuld, of W. W. Kawson &
Co., Boston, and secretary of the New
England Dahlia Society, says Souvenir
de Gustave Douzou is a most wonder-
ful dahlia, which has flowered profusely
the entire season, and since the frost is
producing a most remarkable crop of
flowers, remarkable not only on account
of quantity, but also on account of per-
fection and size of blooms; it is with-
out doubt one of the best decorative
dahlias, and should be in every collec-
tion.

.This rejuvenating of growth after the
first frost has a most wonderful efifect
upon the roots. They are only perfect-
ed from then on, and in a great many
cases entirely new roots are made; the
latter ease is particularly true of the

plants which were entirely blackened
by the first frost. It is therefore of
the greatest importance not to do any-
thing to the dahlias after the first frost
has appeared.

It may be well here to mention that
in order to produce the greatest amount
of tubers and the largest clumps, it is
advisable to cut back the dahlia plant
to within eighteen inches of the ground
right in the height of the flowering
season. Experiments along these lines
will be found most interesting and in-
structive. In this period of second
growth it is of advantage to those who
are anxious to increase their stock of
certain varieties to make cuttings, as
just the ideal growth for cuttings is
then made.

WELL MATURED BULBS.

Those who have had any experience
know the advantage of having well-ma-
tured bulbs, but during the last few
years we have been receiving consign-
ments from Holland earlier than former-
ly, and I think many of them have been
dug before properly ripened, says a writ-
er in the Horticultural Advertiser. Early
potting is, no doubt, an advantajge, but
well-ripened bulbs potted later will do
better than immature bulbs potted early.
Treatment has much to do with success,
yet the most skillful grower cannot make
up for imperfect bulbs, especially with
those where the flowers are in embryo
state before being started into active
growth. Flowers may be developed to a
larger size and every bloom opened, but
you cannot add to the number of flow-
ers originally formed in the dormant

bulbs.

Another matter worthy of notice is
that it is not always the largest bulbs
that prove the most satisfactory, but
those of smaller size, which are firm and
plump, succeed better. Sorts vary;
some produce much larger bulbs natural-
ly than others do. In hyacinths the blues
are usually the largest and yellows the
smallest. Any that appear to be low
and soft in the crowns rarely prove Sat-
isfactory; but in this, sorts vary; some
show signs of starting much earlier than
others.

PACIFIC COAST.

SPOKANE, VASH.

The Empire Plant & Floral Co. has
just completed the erection of more than
5,000 feet of glass and will build two
more houses, each 25x100 feet, next
spring. The firm does a general business
and has a bright outlook for the coming
season. The stock at present includes
4,000 ferns, all of large size; 10,000
geraniums, and 3,000 double petunias,
among which there are some choice seed-
lings. There is also a house of carna-
tions, planted in June, which are at
present one mass of flower stems.

SAN FEANOSGO.

The Market

\ye have had several showers of rain
during the past week and everything
looks somewhat brighter. Business is
fair and flowers are, in a general way,
quite plentiful. Chrysanthemums are in
their glory and can be had at almost any
price offered. This is especially true of
the smaller varieties, but of the larger,
indoor flowers there are already signs of
shortening in the supply.

We have had a good supply of indoor
roses, about the first of the new crop,
and ]irospects are good for plenty of
stock of that kind from this time on-
ward. The prices range from $3 per
hundred up to $2 per dozen for fancy
Beauties. Carnations are in good shape
and continue at about the same prices
as they have been for the last month.
Fancy stock brings about $3.50 per hun-
dred and from that price down to $2 for
the cheaper varieties. Valley is plentiful
and costs The retailers about $4 per
hundred. Roman hyacinths move slowly
at .$3 j»er hundred. Violets, however,
share with mums in being the favorite
of the hour. They are in their glory
at this time. The price has steadily de-
creased since the first of the season, so
that now they cost the retailers about
75 cents per dozen bunches.

A tour of the florists' establishments
over in Oakland shows business to be
fair for this time of the year, the great-
est demand being for funeral work.

Various Notes.

William .1. Dingee has resigned as
park commissioner, on account of the
pressure of other business affairs.

.lames Xiven has accepted a position
as head gardener to H. E. Botkin, of
Ross Station, Cal.

W. W. Saunders is erecting a building
on Center street, Berkeley, to be devoted
to the florists' and seed trade.

C. C. Morse & Co. are making exten-
sive improvements on their grounds at
Glen Echo, Alameda county. They are
reconstructing a range of plant houses
at the present time.

The fourth annual exhibition of the
Menlo Park Horticultural Society was
held at that place October 19 and 20.
Under the direction of the committee of
arrangements, Sidney Clack and F. G.
Hutchinson, president and secretary of
the society, respectively, and H. Goertz-
hain, S. Pay, K. S. Murray, M. W. Car-
ter and A. McDonald, all of whom are
well known gardeners, the mammoth tent
in which the show was held was trans-
formed into the most beautiful of hot-
houses. The judges were George Wal-

lections of chrysanthemums, ferns and
foliage plants of James L. Flood, Tim-
othy Hopkins, S. E. Slade, J. L. Don-
ohue, and Mrs. W. H. Crocker were
especially worthy of mention and all
were the recipients of various prizes.
Sidney Clack, president of the society,
stated this was the best exhibition ever
given in Menlo Park. G.

BULB PLANTING.

The planting of bulbs for blooming in
the garden during the winter or early
in the spring should interest the intend-
ing grower at this time. Under ordi-
nary conditions the general planter on
the' coast does not have good success with
bulbs as a garden flower, esp^ially
when he buys promiscuously and uses
no judgment as to the varieties he plants
out. The idea is to get a couple of
dozen hyacinths, tulips, daffodils or
whatever he fancies, plant them among
a lot of shrubbery and wait for develop-
ments. A few suggestions along these
lines may be in order at this time.

To begin with, bulbs do not grow to
any advantage if planted among shrub-
bery or, in fact, anywhere except by
themselves. They invariably want sun-
shine; all of it they can get, in fact, as
they bloom during that portion of the
year when sunshine is at a premium.
This does not apply to everything in
the bulb line, but easily includes ninety
per cent of the more common kinds.

The soil should not be too heavy. This
is an important item, and by heavy soil
I refer to that which packs down hard
with the action of an excess of moisture
and has a tendency to bake like a brick
on top. On the other hand, sandy soil
acts well with bulbs for the first season
and if there is a sufficient quantity of
sediment in it they thrive well, pro\ided
they are not allowed to dry out in the
summer season. Too much moisture,
however, and especially if the drainage
is not of the best, is fatal to the long
life of almost all flowering bulbs, with
the exception of callas, etc.

Another factor that should be taken
into consideration is the cutting of the
flower stem before it dies off in the nat-
ural way. This interferes with the full
developm«it of the growth and the sub-
sequent growing of the bulblets. The
dying down of the foliage is apparently
not sufficient for the thorough drying of
a mature bulb. This does not apply so
much to the narcissus family as it does
to hyacinths and tulips, but in no case
does it make any particular difference

to the florist, who only expects one crop
of flowers from his bulbs and then
throws them out. I refer to the plant-
ing for permanent beds for garden dis-
play.

Bulbs do not, in this climate, want
an excess of moisture after their growing
season, as they will be found to be weak,
soft and small and will amount to but
little the following year. Too much
manure in the ground is another factor
which should not be countenanced.

Bulbs of the narcissus family should
be separated and transplanted at least
every three years, as they multiply rap-
idly and can be easily induced to still
further spread themselves under reason-
able circumstances. G.

State of Trade

Trade has been good. Funeral work
has been plentiful, using up lots of short
stock. Flowers outdoors are practically
all over; the night of Friday, October
18, froze up everything outdoors. Boil-
ers are all in operation now.

Carnations are in fairly good supply,
with the demand equal to it. They bring
from 35 cents to 50 cents per dozen re-
tail. The stems are getting longer every
day. Some nice roses are now coming
in. These sell at $1.50 per dozen retail.
With the advent of cooler weather, violets
will now begin to bloom more freely.
These are retailing at from 50 cents
to $1 per hundred. Mums are now in

Supply and D(ai»ndf

Trade was fairly active last week,
opening good October 21 and 22, but
quiet for a couple of days, but again
active on Saturday. The continued mild
weather is not conducive to active trade
in cut flowers, the weather being alto-
gether too good for the trade.

Stock of all kinds is again fairly plen-
tiful. Of roses, American Beauties
seem to be most in demand, quality be-
ing good. In tea roses the sale has been
mostly for pink and white. The Brides
are in perfect color and with good
stems, as well as Bridesmaid and Rich-
mond, both being good and having a
fair call. Carnations are coming in
more plentifully, and some good flowers
are seen. Although some are as yet short
of stem, they are getting better every
day.

The chrysanthemum season is now on
in full blast, but the demand is not ex-
actly what the growers would like, as it

in demand, and some of pretty fair qual-
ity are coming in, the demand being
about up to the supply.

Various Notes.

The Park Floral Co. has one of the
finest houses of cyclamens seen in a long
time.

The Alpha Floral Co. is receiving some
splendid chrysanthemums from the El-
itch Gardens.

In all the greenhouses in the city,
chrysanthemums are now the main fea-
ture, and in the greenhouses at City
park the display this year is especially
attractive and noteworthy. Frank Eush-
more, head florist, has taken care to
have the display as varied as possible.
They have fifty varieties and the exhibit
numbers 2,300 plants. The greenhouses
at the park are open to the public every
day from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m., Sundays in-
cluded, and the exhibit is quite worthy
of a visit. E. S. K.

The Market

The retail trade laat week was active.
Many cut flowers were on the market
and were used up well. October 21 kill-
ing frost was on hand and killed nearly
every plant in its path; naturally the
supply is thus cut down considerably and
once more the inside stock will be de-
pended on. Funeral work is one of the
main ends of the business and results
in that department have been satisfac-
tory.

Dahlias, cosmos and tuberoses, which
have lately been in chief demand, have

at last pa,ssed away, and the chrysanthe-
mum has come to take their place. It
is hard to say just what price will be
realized, as the early mums were in com-
petition with the outside blooms and a
good price could not be had for them.
However, they are now selling well and
we do not know of any going to waste.
The retail stores have a heavy supply
on hand. The yellow variety generally
finds H ready sale. Pink Is a little
Fcarce. Tlie small, white blooms come in
well for funeral work. This is the
kind our country farmers bring to town
and offer in large bunches for 10 cents
ii bunch. The later varieties are on the
way and the large blooms usually attract
more attention and sell much better than
the early varieties.

Roses are still coming in heavily and
are offered at retail as low as 35 cents
per dozen by the boys on the streets.
Carnations are still scarce. Callas are
now coming in slowly. Violets are a
little scarce yet. Greens are enough to
meet the demands. Ferns of all kinds
are in demand.

Various Notes.

C. Gregorius, of Arlington, Md., is in-
stalling a new boiler, a Burnham of the
largest type.

James Hamilton, of Mount Washing-
ton, Md., is installing two new boilers,
forty and sixty horse-power. He now
has about 50,000 square feet of glass
and is still building. He has some fine
mums in several houses. Later he will
have a large quantity of roses and car-
nations.

John B. Harman, of Catonsville, Md.,
has cut nearly all of his mums. As
usual, his roses are in first-class con-
dition.

The bulb situation here among the
growers is having little attention. Many
are drifting away from the planting of
bulbs.

C. E. Smith & Co., on Liberty street,
last week held a chrysanthemum show at
their store and made quite a hit.

W. W. Fiedler & Co., on Pennsylvania
avenue, had a beautiful window of
mums, backed up with ferns, last week.

George F. . Lurssen, the manager of
the Flower Garden, on North Baltimore
street, reports business this month as
satisfactory and he will now give his
entire attention to the business.

Some of the decorations of the Old
Home week still occupy part of the stalls
of James Glass and Mrs. F. N. Powell,

AIIBICAN AHROCIATION OF NURSEBTMEN.

Searer. Ro<-hester; Treaa . C. L. Yatea. Rocbea-
ter. The 8Jd annual convention will be held at
Milwaukee, June, 1908.

K. F. Spurlin has purchased all the
interest in the Home Nursery Co., at
Ussery, Ark.

O. H. TiNDELL, who about four years
ago established the O. H. Tindell Nur-
sery Co., at Corryton, Tenn., has moved
to a new location at Fountain City, Tenn.

Since the retirement of E. Albertson
from the firm of Albertson & Hobbs,
wholesale nurserymen at Bridgeport,
Ind., the firm has been conducted as C.
M. Hobbs & Son.

F. G. Keys, a nurseryman of Monroe,
La., has been arrested at Memphis,
Tenn., on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. After standing
trial at Memphis he will be taken to
Covington, Tenn., to face a similar
charge.

No honest nurseryman will oppose leg-
islation for the protection of the farm-
ers, but when the laws are framed by
the score in haste, by those who know
nothing of the business of growing and
selling of nursery stock, the result is
restrictive to conditions almost impos-
sible to be conformed to.

FRENCH NURSERY FEDERATION.

Though the movement in favor of or-
ganization in the French nursery trade is
comparatively recent, it has been taken
up with enthusiasm, and is already pro-
ducing important results, some of which
will, without doubt, have an effect upon
the trade in other countries.

English nurserymen are pleased to see
that one matter has received attention
which has been the cause of much ill-
feeling, and that is the practice of cer-
tain French firms sending wholesale lists
to retail buyers in England. According
to the Horticultural Advertiser and in
consequence of representations made 6n
this subject, M. Bene Barbier, secretary
of the Orleans association, announces
that it has been agreed by every nursery-
man in that district publishing a cata-
logue that for the future there shall be
a difference of at least twenty-five per
cent between wholesale and retail lists.
This decision has been communicated to
the Angers and Ussy districts and
adopted by them.

The Lyons branch has taken similar
action, with the rule that no trade lists
shall for the future be sent to landed
proprietors and other private buyers.
"It is very pleasant to us," says the
Horticultural Advertiser, "having stren-
uously advocated the advantages of
organization and co-operation in the
nursery and seed trades for many years,
to see that at last the movement has not
only taken firm root here, but is now
being warmly taken up in France, Ger-
many, and other continental countries.
Our American cousins, with their well-
known business acumen, are, of course,
years ahead of us in this important
question. ' '

Our French confreres have already
tackled the thorny question of prices, and
the Paris district has decided on a gen-
eral rise of ten per cent upon previous

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Where circumstances or conditions
have not been favorable for the thorough
preparation of the soil when rhododen-
drons were at first planted, it will be a
good plan now to cover the ground over
the roots of the plants with a good coat
of leaf soil, which will be so much the
better if there is some well rotted two-
year-old manure added to it. All winter
this covering may remain on top, but in
spring it may be lightly forked in. This
will have a wonderfully beneficial effect
on the plants, even during the season
immediately succeeding the time of ap-
plication.

Ampelopsis Veitchii makes a glorious
and intensely brilliant display wherever
it is growing, at this time of the year.
The only drawback to this vine is that it
remains so short a time in leaf when the

vvT^'T!'^-

colors are the most brilliant. For cover-
ing the stumps of old trees and other
objects it is doubtful if there is any
other vine as serviceable as this one. At
any rate there is none that will do the
work more rapidly and effectively when
it once gets a good start. This vine
needs little protection in winter and the
little that it may require will be some
manure over the roots. M.

EVERGREENS.

Evergreens in nurseries require fre-
quent transplanting in order to give
them room for growth and development,
but when evergreens are planted on pri-
vate estates it will be greatly to the
benefit of the trees if at the very start
they are planted where they may be
allowed to remain permanently. In the
case of single specimens there will be no
difficulty attending such a disposition of
the trees, but when they are planted in
large or small groups some foresight and
a good deal of judgment will be required
to have things come out right at the
finish. Moving evergreens after they
have attained considerable size in almost
every case has the effect of a set-back,
in group planting, those intended to
remain should be placed at first in such
positions that there will be no necessity
for disturbing them. It is also a fairly
well known fact that in cutting the tap
root of some evergreens the character of
the tree is thereby changed considerably.
When planting evergreens in exposed
places it is a good plan, even if specimen
trees are preferable eventually, to plant
in groups for the sake of sheltering those
that will remain. R. R.

EXPORTS OF NURSERY STOCK.

The Bureau of Statistics of the United
States Department of Agriculture has
just made public the revised figures of
the exports of nursery stock for the last
three years, as follows:

ExptH-ts to— 1904. 1905. 1906.

Canada $71,062 $69,143 $82,017

Cuba a6,653 62,881 48,11.1

tiermany 9,060 14,700 15,078

Mexico 15,57.3 19,771 36.532

.Netherlands 12,576 10,697 22,360

United Kingdom ... 120,730 23,930 23,597

Other countries 22,226 18.101 14,367

Total $287,880 $219,223 $242,056

In this connection it is of interest to
note in last week's Review, page 34,
that our imports of nursery stock in
1906 were $1,617,622, so that the bal-
ance of trade is against us in the pro-
portion of almost eight to one.

AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY.

As chairman of the committee on
peony diseases, I wish to bring before
the attention of the peony growers of
the United States some lines of work
which this committee proposes to under-
take during the coming year, and to
ask their hearty cooperation in the
same.

It is proposed, first, to bring togeth-
er all the literature bearing upon the
subject of peony diseases. This the
chairman of the committee expects to
complete during the coming year, and
will present a paper on the subject be-
fore the next annual meeting of the so-
ciety. In connection with this work it
is especially desired that all persons in-
terested in peony growing will send to
the chairman references to any litera-
ture on the subject of peony troubles
of which they may know.

Second, we will endeavor to get to-

gether all of the observations and ex-
perience of peony growers with diseases
of the plant. This will include any ex-
periences they have had with diseases,
methods of treatment and success or
failure of the same. On this point it
will be necessary to appeal directly to
the grower, and it is hoped that every
one interested in the matter will write
out briefly. and clearly anything he may
have to oflfer and send it to us.

Third, we shall endeavor to get to-
gether specimens of the different dis-
eases of peonies for the purpose of
studying them carefully imd making ex-
periments to determine their cause and
methods of their treatment. It is
planned to continue this work for a
number of years, in order that we may
arrive at some definite conclusions in
regard to the matter. Groiyers are
urged to send in any diseased plants
whenever they find them, transportation
prepaid, in return for which the chair-
man of your committee promises to give
whatever information he can in regard
to the trouble and to prepare from time
to time short articles on some common
and destructive disease, that will appear
for publication in the proper magazines,
etc. These specimens should be care-
fully wrapped in a box or stout pack-
age and mailed directly to our address.

HYDROCYANIC ACID GAS.

If used as directed in my article in
last week 's Review, i)ago 48, for houses
thirty feet wide, six jars per 100 feet of
house will kill all the white flies. This
might be too strong for .wme plants,
and live jars might be enough. Much
depends upon the weather. If it is at
all windy the gas does not remain in the
house long enough to be successful. Some
growers advise opening the ventilators
from the outside in an liour or two, but
we find this too much trouble as long
as it is not necessary.

Many are unsuccessful in the use of
gas because they expect one fumigation
to rid them of the pests, not thinking of
the eggs yet to hatch. Three successful
doses are necessary to exterminate white
fly, and two will usually kill anything
else entirely out. After the first fumi-
gation we watch for the oldest of the
eggs to hatch and tnc first insects we see
are the signal for another fumigation,
but the last eggs laiu are not yet hatched
and if we wait until they are the first
ones have laid more eggs, so we give
three fumigations and then we are rid
of everything for a long time and at a
much smaller expense than by using any
other insecticide. If the first attempts
are not successful the grower will do
well to study the above and try to find
out why, and it Mill be well worth while
and save much money and worry.

There are two reasons for keeping the
cyanide wrapped up in double papers:
First, it is deadly poison; a taste or a
touch to the tongue will kill a person
instantly, and a few breaths of the fresh
gas will do the same. Second, the acid
eats through the paper quickly, and two
thicknesses of paper permit the employee
to get a few yards away before the acid
eats to the cyanide, which decomposes it
rapidly, causing the acid to churn and
boil and emitting the poisonous gases.
If any acid be spattered on anyone or on
shoes, etc., a little grease applied will
stop it from burning. H. G.

FORCING TOMATOES.

At what temperature should a green-
house be kept, day and night, in which
tomatoes are now growing? What ferti-
lizer is best to use for top dressing
in a house of tomatoes? W. D. H.

I find that a night temperature of
65 degrees and a day temperature of
about 80 degrees on bright days gives
us the best results.

Some growers recommend a lower tem-
perature and many run their houses some-
what warmer with good results, but there
is one point on which we will all agree,
and that is: If you have a cool night

tempc'ratU|ie you should run your day
temperature accordingly, and not try
to make up for it by running the houses
warmer in the daytime. The difference
between day and night temperature
should never be more than 15 or 20 de-
grees in growing any hothouse crop. If
you must hurry a crop, do it by giving
a longer day temperature by running the
t('mi)erature up to the jiay limit early
and holding it there well into the evening,
l)ut only on bright days, and be sure
that it gets down to proper night tem-
perature before 10 p. m. On dark, cloudy
days it is best to run the temperature
only a little above that of night.

A§ to the fertilizers, there is much
ditterence of opinion and much depends
upon what plant food is already in the
soil. For making up tha beds before
])lantijig, nothing is quite so good as
horse manure, if it has been well cared
for, but unfottunately this is seldom
the case. If carefully turned, shaken
out and Avatered while jt is fresh and
hot, it will not burn, and when it is
partly decomposed and all heat has left
it, it is most excellent and it would be
well for greenhouse proprietors to give
more attention to it. When a pile of
horse manure is neglected until it is all
burned out, it is of little value. When
it is good it is not only a benefit as a
fertilizer, but it loosens up the soil like
roots in sod and the soil is kept nice
and mellow and well drained.

It must be remembered, however, that
horse manure is strongest in nitrogen,
ammonia being mostly nitrogen, and al-
though it will give the plants an excel-
lent growth of stalks and leaves they
may be slow to set fruit or mature it,
for lack of phosphoric acid or potash
or both. For this reason the commercial
fertilizers are better for the mulching
or feeding after the crop has grown to
the fruiting stage. A grower should not
think of refuse as so much manure or
by-product of some packing house, but
should consider the amount of plant food
contained in the different kinds of ref-
use or fertilizers. If little or no manure
is used in preparing the beds, nitrogen
should be applied in some form for
making a good growth, and there should
also be a feeding of bone meal or some
similar product containing the phosphor-
ic acid and potash for producing and
filling out fruit. Some fertilizers, even
when much needed, will injure the plants
if not properly applied. The best rule
is to apply small doses often and water
them in at once, or cultivate them into
the soil a little and then water. H. G.

OCTOBEB 31, 1907. '

INDIANAPOLIS.

Cttrrent G>fnineiit.

"Weather conditions were favorable last
week and roses and carnations show it
in better quality and quantity. Chrysan-
themums hold the stage and will do so
for some time to come; the different
store men use them lavishly in their win-
dow decorations.

The premium lists are out for the
flower show on November 13 and 14,
held under the auspices of the State
Florists' Association, at the conserva-
tory of A. Wiegand & Son, Sixteenth
and Illinois sti-eets. This ought to be
a succesSjj judging by the efforts the
secretary and committee are putting
forth. A go«d exhibit of new roses by
all the large rose growers is assured.

The annual fall opening of the Berter-
mann Floral Co. will take place Novem-
ber 11 and, as usual, will be a great
feature in florist circles.

Henry Bieman expects to have his fall
opening next week or the week following.
This will be one of the greatest attrac-
tions of the fall season. All the other
florists expect to have their openings at
7 a. m. every day, to which the public is
cordially invited.

Mr. Barnes, the dahlia specialist of
Spencer, Ind., is around visiting the
craft. He promises many good things
and surprises for next summer. He re-
]>orts a very good season and finds the
dahlia is fast becoming a favorite again.

LEXINGTON, KY.

Without any fireworks the officials of
the Agricultural Experiment Station at
State College have secured the funds
for the erection of what will be one of
the finest greenhouses in the country for
experimental work in the study of green-
house plant diseases. Besides the green-
house proper, there is to be a two-story
building 20x5.5 devoted to laboratories
for agricultural research. The green-
house is to be erected by the Pierson
U-Bar Co., with steel frame and curved
eaves. The floor is to be of concrete and
everything about the place is to be the
best that skill can provide, the benches
being of cement.

Howell, Ind. — The greenliousea of the
L. & N. railroad are located here and
are under the management of B. S, Wilt-
shire, who is 7.5 years of age and is the
oldest employee of the railroad company.
Mr. Wiltshire has the reputation of
knowing more about flowers than the
average florist.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

OCTOBEE 31, 1907.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

State of Tiade.

Traile is picking up in good shape and
is beginning to take on its winter gar-
ments. The heaviest part of the business
is on mums. Boses and carnations are
improving right along; in fact, they look
like winter stock, and by the outlook
stock in general will be of splendid qual-
ity this season. There have been a few
good decorations lately, but nothing
to speak of.

Qub Meeting.

The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting Tuesday evening, October 22,
President Stephens in the chair, and all
officers present. E. F. Alspach, of the
Fifth Avenue Floral Co., was elected to
membership. The mum show committee
reported everything in readiness for the
show to be held Tuesday, November 13.

This being election night, the follow-
ing officers were elected: President, R.
A. Currie; vice-president, C. P. Torrey;
secretary, James McKellar; treasurer,
Jacob Reichert; sergeant-at-arms, J. H.
Williams; trustees, G. H. Woodrow, A.
Knopf, John Brust, Geo. Bauman and (5.
Drobish.

The club is starting off the new year
in a flourishing condition and the mem-
bers seem to be getting better acquainted
and are attending meetings more regu-
larly. We have great hopes of seeing a
good delegation go from here to the
next convention, and no doubt our bowl-
ing team will be in good shape, as we
have the material for a good team and
they are looking forward to the contest.
Jacob Reichert is acting captain.

Various Notes.

The Munk Floral Co. has been cutting
some' fine Appleton mums and its carna-
tions are promising.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has been
cutting fine carnations, roses and mums.
The Touset are unusually fine, being
grown mostly three to a plant. The cut
flower branch at 47 North High street
has opened in good shape.

William Graff has been making a run
on chrysanthemums at 10 cents each and
handling an immense amount of stock.

Everyone here reports business good,
but the bulk of it is mums. J. M.

Ctnrent Comment.

There is not much chaaige in the cut
flower business since last report Eoses
have been coming much better. Beau-
ties bring $3 to $6 per dozen; teas, $1
to $3; carnations, 50 cents to $1 per
dozen; violets, $1.50 and $2 per hun-
dred. Chrysanthemums are plentiful
and bring from $1 to $5 per dozen.
Good pink is scarce. Clark Bros, are
cutting some fine Carnot roses.

There vpas a lot of funeraj work and
there were quite a few large designs.
Nearly all of the stores had their share.

Wednesday seems to still be the pop-
ular day for weddings, October 16
Gude Bros, had the bridal work for
ten weddings. George Shaffer had a fine
decoration for the Kidgley-Brown wed-
ding at the Church of the Covenant.
The coming week will be a busy one for
the decorators.

J. Robertson reports business open-
ing up finely at his Connecticut avenue
store.

Henry Pfister has completed his new
store. Besides his former store, he now
occupies the 6ne adjoining it, and he
thus has two fine show windows, with
a nice entrance in the center. The ice-
box was made according to his own de-
sign and is done in white and gold. His
floor space is 30x75 feet. He reports
business good.

Z. D. Blackistone has added a con-
servatory to his store. The carpenters
and painters are through and the effect
could not be better.

George Shaffer has a very attractive
store, with its new coat of white and
gold.

F. H. Kramer has his store looking
fresh with a frescoed ceiling and walls.

Fred Wolf, of the Washington Flo-
rists Co., has been operated on for a
tumor. He is still in the hospital.

Among the visitors this week were
Mr. Fancourt, of the Pennock-Meehan
Co., Wm. Hagemann, and Mr. Reed, of
Reed & Keller. O. O.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

Chrysanthemum reigns queen at pres-
ent in the floral world and the windows
•of the flower shops of the city are
beautiful with great bunches of the va-
rious colored mums arranged in most ar-
tistic manner. The trade also has im-
proved all around, notwithstanding the
financial scare. AH of the shops have
seemed quite busy. The wholesalers are
looking more pleasant every day since
the outdoor stock haa seen its finish, as
no matter how cheap the commission
man sold the stock he could not compete
with the farmer who had no expense ex-
cept his own time, which, in his own
opinion, wasn't worth anything.

Chrysanthemums are coming in heavily
and in all sizes, and most of the stock is
good. "While there is nothing in fancy
prices, the stock cleans up at fair prices,
which is satisfactory.

Various Notes.

In the Allegheny market, E. C. Lud-
wig, G. & J. W. Ludwig, D. A. Malie,
Frank Faulk and Erhardt & Swartz keep
up a show which is worth traveling to
see and the evidence that it is appre-
ciated is the fact that they draw much
of their trade from Pittsburg, where
their customers are compelled to take a
street car to reach them.

Allegheny park opened its flower show
•October 27, but, owing to the extremely
disagreeable weather, the crowd was not
as great as usual. The show reflects
great credit on George Moore, head
gardener, and his assistant. One house
•of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine in pots
and hanging baskets was a sight. Noth-
ing handsomer in this line was ever
shown in this city and it would be worth
any of the florists' while to go and see
what can be done with this plant. This
louse was in charge of William Getting.
The show of mums was attractively ar-
ranged, but much like other shows of
the kind.

Next week a report of the Schenley
park show, Frick, Peacock and Heinz
:8how9 will appear in the Pittsburg notes.

Hoo-Hoo.

EvANSViLLE, Ind. — The Blackman Flo-

Colorado Springs, Col. — The pro-

pose of keeping the hotel supplied with

(ireenhoose Heating.

INSUFFICIENT RADIATION.

Will a 2-inch overhead flow supply two
4-inch pipes in a house 10x75 feet, with
walls four feet high and eight feet to
the ridge? The house runs east and
weat. There is one foot of glass in the
south wall. There are no gables exposed.
I wish to have a temperature of 55 to 60
degrees. Our weather here in Indiana
hardly ever goes to zero. F. C. A.

While one 2-inch riser will supply two
•4-inch pipes seventy-five feet long, this
will not provide suflScient radiation for
your house to maintain a temperature of
60 degrees. In order to carry the tem-
perature you desire, it will be necessary
to provide the house with a 2^/^-inch flow
or riser and five 4-inch pipes, or better
still, nine 2-inch pipes the length of the
house. ' L. C. C.

HOT WATER FOR SINGLE HOUSE.

How shall I pipe, for hot water, a
greenhouse 20x60 feet and ten feet to
the ridge? There are twenty inches of
glass on the sides. The house is exposed
on both sides and also at one end, which
is of glass. It is partly protected from
strong winds. I want a temperature of
70 degrees in this Michigan climate.

R. E. H.

A satisfactory plan for arranging the
heating pipes in your greenhouse 20x60
would be to install fourteen 2-inch lines
of pipe. Use five lines of pipe — one flow
and four returns — under each side bench,
and four lines of pipe — one flow and
three returns — under the middle bench.
This should give radiation suflicient for
a temperature of 65 degrees in severe
weather and 70 degrees at other times.
The high point in each manifold should
be at the point most distant from the
boiler. By using a well elevated expan-
sion tank, connected with the main return
close to the boiler, such a system should
give good service. L. C. C.

THE BELL AND THE PENCIL.

Many a florist has been saved from
a crippling loss by the tinkling of a bell,
and in places where there is no night
fireman the prudent man installs a ther-
mostat. The Parker Mfg. Co., Boston,
has installed thousands of such for
greenhouses, or rather has sold them to
florists who have installed them them-
selves, so easy arc they to put up. All
you have to do, get two cells of battery,
Sampson or Le Cleche, and the necessary
wire and bell. The thermostat is ar-
ranged with binding posts to be connect-
»h1 with wires and can be set at any
two points on the entire scale, so that
the bell located in the owner's sleep-
ing-rooms will ring if the temperature
goes either below or above the degree
wanted. The cost of the whole outfit,
and the work of putting it in, is so
slight that it has no comparison what-
ever with the loss a grower would be
subjected to if the contents of one house
wore lost by frost, as happened with
niore than one grower last winter.

The better stock a man grows the
greater pains lie takes in growing it,
and in most of the big i)laces where
first-class stuff is titrned out there is a
recording thermometer in one or more of

llie lioHses, to show exactly, wliat has
taken place < luring the night, because
each morning the owner of such an in-
strument has pencile*! upon a paper dial
a record of the temperature of every
minute through the ])reviou8 day and
night. When these thermometers first
were installed in greenhouses their pres-
ence was resenteti by many night men,
as indicating a suspicion of neglect of
duty, bnt now quite a different view is
taken, as these penciled tlials are the
strongest testimonial as to a night
man 's ability. A good man makes the
pencil draw an even line along the de-
gree called for, but a careless one causes
the instrument to draw a wavy and un-

The Supply of Mums.

A few years ago some growers of the

in demand for All Saints' day, said that
large chrysanthenuuns couM not be
grown around New Orleans. They soon
found that .A'ississippi could raise them
satisfactorily, and for a few seasons the
chief part of the supply for New Or-
leans was drawn from that state. Today
a great change seems to have taken

can be used for either cast-iron or steam pipe. Tested
at 25 lbs. pressure and warranted; can be used for low

Eressure steam by adding steam drum. Best material;
est workmanship. Specially designed for greenhouse
use; corrects the faults of other boilers. Lightest boiler
on the market capable of performing equal work. We
defy eompetition in prices on any boiler of equal
capacity. Investigate. Send for new illustrated cata-

place, as New Orleaus iloes not depend
on any other market for that flower. In
fact, we do not see why, in the near
future, all the northern growers will not
come to New Orleans for the bulk of
their chrysanthemums. We have now a
few large growers making a speciftlty of
them. They grow a crop of beans or
lettuce during a few months; then all
their ground is devoted to mums.

We do not need expensive greenhouses
for this purpose. A raised bench, well
protected late in the season with glazed
frames, seems to be the ideal way to
grow cJirysanthemums to perfection.

NEWPORT, R. I.

Current Comment.

Most of the cottagers have taken
their departure and in consequence busi-
ness is now doAvn to its usual level. All
the Bellevue a,venue stores are closed,
with the exception of that of Joseph
Leikens, whose store will be kept open
for at least another week.

Mr. Smythe, of Wadley & Smythe, vis-
ited Newport last week on business con-
nected witli the landscape department of
the firm.

F. L. Zeigler is so far satisfied with
his avenue venture that he has about
completed arrangements whereby he can
resume business there again next spring.

During a slight business lull Gibson
Bros, are devoting a great deal of time
and energy to putting their greenhouses
on Malbone avenue in first-class order.

Oscar Schultz, while on a business trip
to New York recently, made an exteosive
purchase of orchid plants, mainly cat-
tleyas. Mr. Schultz believes that it will
pay to grow cattleyas more extensively
for the Newport trade than has been
done in the past.

Stewart Ritchie is sending in some
fairly good plants of Nephrolepis ele-
gantissima. Zeigler is handling them.

Chrysanthemums are coming in now in
quite large numbers, from in Newport
and vicinity. The quality is fully up
to the standard of former years. As
usual, the finest blooms seen here are
in the greenhouses of Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, which shows conclusively
that William Miller, who has charge of
that department, knows how to grow
them and grow them well. M.

LENOX, MASS.

The annual chrysanthemum show of
the Lenox Horticultural Society openetl
in the town hall October 23. The ex-
hibits were unusually good and so exten-
sive that the main hall could not afford
HuflScient accommodations. Experts de-
(flared that the display of chrysanthe-
mums was the finest ever seen in the
I'ounty. The exhibits were practically
all from the private estates in the neigh-
borhood, including those of Robert W.

TEACHING HORTICULTURE.

The Massachusetts Agricultural Col-
lege at Amherst has just isstied an illus-
trated booklet on the Division of Horti-
culture. In a letter to the alumni Presi-
dent Kenyon L. Butterfield sayiS:

"It is my opinion that M. A. C. now
has the best equipment for teaching hor-
ticulture— in buildings, apparatus and
men — of any institution in the United
States, and probably in the world. I
say this advisedly. And why should not
this be sof Massachusetts agriculture
must necessarily concern itself to a very
large degree with friiit-growing, market
gardening, greenhousie work-, landscape
gardening and related linet

"I hope you will take pains to make
these facts known among your friends
everywhere. We are able to offer special
facilities to young men going into prac-
tical work, as well as to those preparing
for investigational service; in fact, we
ought to have here a large number of
graduate students in horticulture."

FERNS.

What is the most satisfactory way for
a florist with a small place, where bench
room is scarce, to grow ferns, beginning
after the bedding season is over, say the
middle of Junet Would you buy 2%-
inch or 3-inch stock, plant them out in
a bench or grow in potst I will need
between 200 and 300 plants in 5-inch
and 6-inch, ready to sell by October 1.
I should like suggestions in regard to
watering, shading, etc. If the pot plan
is advised, what size would you start
with! O. T.

If you use your benches for any other
crop after bedding stock is gone and
have some coldframe sash at disposal,
you can grow splendid ferns in them.
The sashes will need shading and the
pots should be stood in a bed of coal
ashes, not allowing the tops of the ferns
to quite touch the glass. Ferns will
make just as good and in some varieties
better growth in frames than in green-
houses from June to the end of Sep-
tember. As you do not say what par-
ticular ferns are needed, I presume
that nephrolepis, the most salable sort
commercially, are specially in mind. If
you do not .need your benches after bed-
ding stock is gone, you can plant your
nephrolepis right in the benchefl, using
four to five inches of loam and leaf -mold,

and if your young stock is in 2% -inch
pots you will have excellent stuff ready
for potting up for winter sales in Sep-
teml^r. The Boston fern still leads all
others as a seller. Probably N. Whit-
mani is the best of the spoirts and with
least signs of reversion. N. Scottii has
many admirers. It has narrower fronds
than the Boston and makeib a nice, com-'
pact plant. N. Elegantisgima is similar
to N. Whitmani. >

Adiantums are always in demand. ^.
cuneatum still leads all others in popu-
larity. It should be grown in pots, not
benched. The same applies to any of
the pteris, such as Wimsetti, Cretica,

be unwise to shift from the smaller size
to 6-inch. Try your adiantums and
pteris in A frame and plant put the
nephrolepis. You will find this wtill give
good results. . '^;; Cf. W. •

ENGLISH IVY.

English ivy needs ^soox^^ kind of winter
protection almb'Sf " everywhere In this
country. Small and medium sized plants
may, perhaps, be as cheaply and con-
veniently preserved for futuM use by be-
ing lifted and pptted and wintered over
in a cool greerihdntjipjei^ asi^^ an;^ otheir
way, but such a niethod is altogether
out of the question when it comei to the
work of protecting large plants on trel-
lises or walls, or even those of like size
trailing on the ground. The safeft man-
ner of r^rotecting ivy on walls 6r ti^\-
lises is VCi9,^. of covering them with cheap
burlap, ■^•^ruce or hemlock bijanches,
however, make a much ^cheaper covering
than burlap, and, if care is taken that
they arej|5?roperly put on, they will
answer tha||)urpose nearly as well as the
more expensive material.

It mustdnot be forgotten that during

/^^O^y.-

Pussy Willowsi

cristata, Mayii and others, and Cyrto-
mium falcatum and other ferns useful
as pot plants.

Nephrolepis need less shade than the
other sorts named. All the ferns enjoy
a moist atmosphere, but do not need
spraying overhead; in fact, it is hurtful
to some. Plants in 2 V^ -inch pots will
be all right to start with. If kept in
pots these will soon need a shift to
4-inch and later to 6-inch pots. It would

winter ivy suffers fully as much from
the effect of freezing and thawing at
the roots of the plants as from the ef-
fect the same have on the wood and
foliage. For that reason, then, it will
be well to put a good covering of manure
or leaves over the roots. Manure is pref-
erable to leaves, because of the moisture
it helps to retain in the soil.

No plant likes a soil frozen dry; con-
serve moisture by mulch. M.

The Weekly Horists' Review,

NOVBMBBB 7, 1907.

New Display Rootxu of the E« Wienhoeber G>^ Chicago.

WIENHOEBER'S DISPLAY RCX)MS.

The retail store of the Ernst Wien-
hoeber Co. is located in the richest resi-
dence district of Chicago, within a block
of the famous Lake Shore drive, with its
mile of homes of millionaires. Natu-
rally, in such a location there is a de-
mand for the exercise of good taste in its
superlative degree. The Wienhoeber store
not only has been noted for the artistic
character of its work, but it has
achieved fame through several seasons'
occupancy of the rooms above the store
by Richard Mansfield, who not only was
a great actor, but who had many friends
in the neighborhood of the Wienhoeber
establishment. The society editors often
wrote of the gatherings in the rooms
"above the florists' shop," and the
editor of the Sunday supplement pic-
tured Mansfield in his quarters there.

Since the death of Mr. Mansfield, Mr.
"Wienhoeber has decided that the best use
he can make of the suite of rooms is to
employ them for the display of his stock,
and accordingly the three front rooms
have been taken for this purpose.
Hardly any change was necessary in fur-
nishings or fixtures, except the addition
of one or two cabinets. The accompany-
ing illustrations show these rooms as they
appeared October 31, on the second day
of an openifag to which the Wienhoeber
Co. invited a selected list of flower
buyers.

The large living room occupies the
entire front of the building, over the
store. Back of this is the dining-room
and, farther yet, a former sleeping-room,
which does not show in the illustrations

but in which the walls are lined with
display cases for vases, jardinieres, fern-
dishes, baskets, etc. One of the pictures
shows the parlor-living room, photo-
graphed with the camera standing in the
entry way. The old-fashioned fireplace is
shown at the side, and in the corner a
writing desk with its grandfather's
clock. In the right hand corner, just
out of range of the lens, stood a small
table with a red-brown pitcher filled with
Sunrise roses. At the left hand corner
stands the piano. The other illustration
shows the rooms looking from the living-
room into the dining-room, the walls of
which are occupied by cases of artistic

novelties in the way of vases, window-
boxes, ferneries, etc. In the window was
a large vase of Beauties and on-the table
stood other vases of flowers. During the
opening there was on display somewhere
in the store a vase of each of the popu-
lar roses of the day and each one bore
a label in order that customers might
learn to call for the newer sorts by
name.

Of the large number of visitors, not
one failed to mention the artistic qual-
ity of these rooms, and Mr. Wienhoeber
is of the opinion that by maintaining
them he will add largely to the number
of visitors to his establishment.

ENCHANTRESS VARIETIES.

I should like to hear about the ex-
perience of some florist who grows Roso-
pink and White Enchantress, as to their
productiveness, size and earliness, as
compared with the original Enchantress.
Will the Rose-pink take the place of the
Lawson shade of pink? M. W. W.

This is our first season with White
Enchantress and our second season with

the Rose-pink variety, and we find that
except for the color there is no dif-
ference between them and the original
Enchantress. They are just as strong
in growth and as early and free in bloom-
ing. Rose-pink Enchantress will never
take the place of Mrs. Lawson, though I
am not prepared to say that it is not a
more desirable and more beautiful shade
of pink. The two are in distinct classes
of color, just as red and crimson are
distinct, and while the lighter pink may
be planted in increased numbers, and

NOVDHBEB 7, 1907.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

New DitpUy Rooms of the E. Wienlioeber Co., Chicago.

the darker Lawson shades may be cut
down somewhat, yet as long as we have
good varieties in each shade, both shades
will continue to be grown as they are
now.

It will, no doubt, be remembered that
when Mrs. Lawson was being introduced,
considerable doubt was expressed by
prominent growers as to the desirability
of such a deep shade of pink, the
predominating varieties being of a light-
er shade, such as Wm. Scott, Eose Queen,
Edna Craig, Melba, Victor, etc. Mrs.
Lawson, however, with her other good
qualities, soon made a place for herself
and gradually crowded all the others off
the growers' benches, and out of the
market. It proved, in a most convincing
manner, that its color was no barrier
to its popularity, when it offered size,
stem and superior keeping and shipping
qualities. Now that this deep shade is
established as a class and new varieties
are being raised in that class of color,
and of first-class quality, there is little
likelihood of its ever becoming unpopu-
lar. In fact, any variety, of whatsoever
shade of pink, if it be a clear shade,
will become popular if it is prolific
enough to pay the grower well, and is
large enough and handles well enough
to make it desirable for the retailer to
handle. And, by the same token, it
might be said that whenever the vari-
eties representing a certain color fall
behind the procession in these qualities,
that color will disappear from the mar-
ket until another is offered which will
rank with the best varieties of the
day in the other colors. A. F. J. B.

LAST SPRING'S NOVELTIES.

A few words about last spring's novel-
ties will not be amiss. It is too early
to pass final judgment on them as yet,
but still, one will begin to formulate an
opinion even this early and it is well
to bear in mind how they have acted
the early part of the season. Another
season one can avoid mistakes if a
variety shows up better later on, but
failed to make a good showing early.

Winsor looks like a splendid thing
in every way except the stem. We will
have to get a longer stem on it another
season, though it is coming up better
now.

Beacon made fine plants in the field
and what blooms we have had were of
splendid size, but of poor color so far.
Lately the color has deepened consider-
ably, and in a few weebi' it will likely
be all right. Stem and calyx are fine.

Red Biding Hood is picking up rapid-
ly now, and may prove worthy of a
place, but up to date the color has
been poor.

Red Chief is a free flowering, medium
sized scarlet of fine color. We made the
mistake of allowing it to come right
into crop after being housed, instead
of encouraging it to make a strong
growth first.

Aristocrat made poor plants with us
in the field, on account of not being
pinched enough. It is picking up now,
though, and has made some splendid
blooms. It needs careful handling in
the field.

Mabelle made fine plants in the jfield,
and is making strong growth inside,

but will be a trifle late in throwing
its crop of blooms.

Bonnie Maid seems to want close pinch-
ing in the field in order to get a bushy
plant. It comes in early, makes fine
stems and blooms right from the start.
Its color is a beautiful combination of
light and dark pink.

Pink Imperial is throwing up the
stems for which it is famous. What
blooms we have had have been of fine
quality, and we expect this variety to
trot. It has the appea/ance of a long-
stemmed Lawson. A. F. J. Baur.

AZALEAS.

The inquiry for azaleas is not unfa-
vorable, says a German contemporary,
when one notes on the one side the ex-
traordinary great numbers on offer, and
the cheap prices which the Belgian nur-
serymen are inclined to take for their
wares, which in consequence of overpro-
duction have gone back to an extraordi-
nary extent. Owing to the cool summer,
the flower bud development is below the
normal and not so regular as usual. The
quality is on an average good, although
the growth is mostly short and compact.
As always, the early varieties well adapt-
ed for forcing are those mostly in re-
quest, and it is reported that in general
the larger examples of these are already
sold.

has been doing business here in the old

mile of lioinos of iiiillioiiaires. Natu-
rally, in sufh a location there is a de-
mand for tlio exercise of ^ood taste in its
sujierlative degree. The Wienhoeber store
not only has been noted for the artistic
character of its work, but it has
achieved fame through several .seasons'
o(;cu|)ancy of the rooms above the store
by Kichard Mansfield, who not only was
a great actor, but who had many friends
in the neighborhood of the Wienlioeber
establishment. The society editors often
uidte of the gatherings in the rooms
"ab(»ve the florists" shop, " ' and the
editor of tlie Sunday su])plem<'nt jdc-
tured Mansfield in his (|uai'ters there.

Since the death of Mr. .Mansfield. .Mr.
Wienhoeber has decided that the best use
he can make of the suite of rooms is to
employ them for the <lisplay of his stock,
and accordingly the thiee front rooms
have been t.aken for this |(ur[iose.
Hardly any change ^\as necessaiy in fur
iiishings or fixtures, excei»t the addition
of one or two cabinets. The accompany-
ing illustrations show these rooms as they
ajtpeared Octolter 31, on the second day
of an openihg to which the Wienhoeber
<,'o. invited a selected list of Hower
buyers.

The large living room occupies the
entire front of the building, over the
store. Back of this is the dining-room
and, farther yet, a former sleeping-room,
which does not sjiow in the illustrations

l)ut in which the walls are lined with
display cases for vases, Jaidinieres, fern-
dishes, l)askets, etc. One of the pictures
shows the ]iarlor-liviiig room, j)hoto-
grajthed with tiie camera standing in the
entry way. The old-fashiiine<i (irej)lace is
shown at the side, and in the corner a
writing desk with its gr.'i nd father 's
clock. In the right han<l corner, just
out of range of the lens, stood a small
table with a red-brown ])itcher filled with
Sunris(> roses. At the left hand corner
stands the ])iaiu). The other illustration
shows the rooms looking from the living-
room into the dining-room, the walls (d'
which are occupie<| by cases of artistic

novelties in the way of vases, window
boxes, feiiieries, etc. In the window was
a large \ase of lieauties .and onthe t.able
stood other \ases (d' flowers. l)uring Ihe

It will, no (loulit, lie lenieiiihered tliat

considerable doubt was expressed by
prominent growers as to the desirability

of such a deep sliadi- of pink, the
prcdoniinatinj; vai'ieties being of a light-
er shade, such as Win. Scott, Kose Queen,
Edna Craig, Melba, Vietor, etc. Mrs.
Lawson, however, uith lier other good
qualities, soon made a place for herself
Jind gradually crowded all the others off
the growers' benclies, and out of the
market. It proved, in a most convincing
manner, that its color was no barrier
to its popularity, when it offered size,
stem and superior keejting and shipping
qualities. Now that this deep shade is
established as a class and new varieties
are being raised in that class of color,
and of first-class quality, there is little
likelihood of its ever becoming unpopu-
lar. In fact, any variety, of whatsoever
shade of pink, if it be a clear shade,
will become popular if it is prolific
enough to ]>ay the grower well, and is
large enough and handles well enough
to make it desirable for the retiiiler to

THE AUTUMN

EXHIBITIONS

^^^♦^

i

CHICAGO.

Promptly at noon on Wednesday, No-
vember 6, the doors of the Coliseum
were thrown open for the sixteenth an-
nual autumn exhibition of the Horti-
cultural Society of Chicago, and the
early visitors found the show id a state
of completion rarely seen in any of the
larger exhibitions. The management
responsible for the present success is
so thoroughly experienced in its work
that all arrangements seem perfect and
the big task of installing the exhibition
moved like clock work.

The show is notaole, especially for
Chicago, for the large number and re-
markauie excellence of the chrysanthe-
mum pot plants. In number they far
exceed any previous exhibition and for
quality they surpass anything hereto-
fore exhibited by western growers.
The example set last year by A. Her-
rington, with his enormous specimen
from Madison, in. J., has inspired the
local gardeners to surpass themselves.
Also, the rules were so changed this
year as to provide classes in which a
number of growths could be carried up,
previous schedules having called for
plants with at least an inch of single
stem above the soil. The principal ex-
hibitors of pot plants are H. "W. Buck-
bee, Eockford, 111., and Vaughan's
Greenhouses, Western Springs, 111., but
the gardeners of the wealthy members
of the Horticultural Society are splen-
didly represented, Lake Geneva and
Lake Forest having also sent many en-
tries.

The arrangement of the show is after
the excellent park pian of Jens Jensen.
The floor is carpeted with sod, save for
the walks, and the central space is re-
served to the chrysantiicmum pot plants.
The arrangement is unanimously voted
the best ever. The parks are all rep-
resented by big groups of palms, ferns
and other decorative plants, and Mrs.
Pullman and other private growers have
sent their choicest. The Geo. Wittbold
Co. also has several fine groups.

The decorations are not as elaborate
as last year, when the great arch of the
Coliseum was festooned with laurel rop-
ing, but many consider the effect fully
as good. The steel structure is covered
with a sky-blue, starred canopy, through
which the brilliant electrics depend,
each group of lights in the center of a
great wreath of wild smilax. The edge
of the balcony is covered with autumn
foliage, bringing the decorations down
to the line of the booths underneath
the balcony.

In the retailers' exhibits lies the
one detail in which the show is not up
to the preceding ones in the Coliseum.
The retailers have not responded as it
was thought they would do when a sil-
ver medal and $750 in cash were offered
to stimulate their enterprise. Those
who are represented are C. Frauen-
felder & Co., the Geo. Wittbold Co.,
Julius Schnapp and Schiller the Florist.
Frauenfelder has an elaborate booth of
birch-bark, with wild smilax drapery,

and a display of cut flowers and plants
which will be changed daily. The
Wittbold Co. has a solid bank of green
in which there are vases of fine yellow
mums, creating an excellent effect. The
Schnapp booth also has a solid green
background, with cut flowers attrac-
tively displayed. Manager George As-
mus is respoHsible for the Schiller booth
and has executed this with the same
efficiency he has displayed in all the
show arrangements. It is a garden
scene, with a picture for a background,
presenting a vista in harmony with the
plant display.

In the corners at the south end are
miniature greenhouses erected by the
Foley Mfg. Co. and the John C. Mon-
inger Co. In the Foley house garden-
ers are at work potting cuttings and
shifting the pot plants. The Moninger
hoTise is filled with orchids and deco-
rative plants and next to the wall is a
hotbed filled with stock.

The E. Wienhoeber Co. maintains a
table decoration in anoti.er section and
A. H. Revell & Co. use one section for
a dining-room scene. Another section
is occupied by the benefit flower booth
in charge of W. P. Kyle. Another is
occupied by the Maywood Nurseries
and Mount Auburn Cemetery. One sec-
tion is given to a display of house
plants which are to be given to the
school receiving the most votes. Peter
Eeinberg has a section for a display of
roses, one or two varieties at a time,
which will be changed each day.

The annex is given to the nursery-
men and they all have winter scenes,
with cotton snow. The effect is fine.
The Douglas nursery at Waukegan is
especially to be commended for its
group of evergreens. The Peterson
Nursery has a fine showing of shrubs
with autumn foliage effects and a path
through the shrubbery leads to B. S.
Gage's private office. Klehm's Nursery
has one side of the annex and Swain
Nelson & Sons another, each with a
good display. Vaughan's Greenhouses
has the side next the main building
and the exhibit is staged on both sides
of the wall, the principal portion being
in the Coliseum itself, where there is a
splendidly executed landscape scene, the
path leading the visitor through the
archway to the other side of the ex-
hibit in the annex.

Among the trade displays on the
opening day, and not for competition,
were a table of orchids from Lager &
Hurrell, staged by C. W. McKellar; a
fine bed of valley in pots from H. N.
Bruns; a group of begonias, Farleyense
and ferns from J. A, Peterson; some
fine Ficus pandurata, crotons, dracaenas,
etc., from the Eobt. Craig Co., Phila-
delphia; two fine exhibits of Nephro-
lepis Amerpohlii, one from Wm. P.
Craig, iruiladelphia, the other from Ed-
ward Amerpohl, Janesville, Wis. Other
trade displays will be added from day
to day, with the carnations, roses and
floral work that are to be later fea-
tures.

Chrysanthemum Cut Blooms.

The chrysanthemum cut blooms were
not. as numerous as in some years and
they no longer were the chief feature
of the show, as in times of old. As a
matter of fact, all save the vases of
fifty, were relegated to a corner of the
building under the balcony. The judges
are, W. W. Coles, Kokomo, Ind. ; J.
H. Dunlop, Toronto; J. T. Temple, Dav-
port, la., and they have their hands full,
and judging a slow process because of
the uniform high quality of the stock.
Up to 6 o'clock, on Wednesday, they
had covered nothing but chrysanthemum
cut blooms, the awards being as follows:

Fifty blooms white, D. C. Noble, Co-
lumbia City, Ind., first, with Mrs. Rob-
inson ; Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago, sec-

MADISON, N. J.

The Morris County Gardeners' and
Florists' Society held its twelfth annual
show October 31 and November 1, and
for the quality and quantity of the prod-
ucts exhibited it was away ahead of
its predecessors. This year the exhibi-
tion committee made some changes in the
layout of the exhibits and the result
■was voted the prettiest show the society
■ever held. One solid bank of flowers,
which were chrysanthemums on short
stems, filled a table 175 feet long, and
seemed to constitute the chief attrac-
tion.

It was unfortunate that W. Duckham
and A. Herrington were unable to be
competitors this year, owing to deaths
in the families of their employers, but
with that handicap, the show was, to
the visitors, a revelation as to the im-
mense number of high grade flowers
produced in this section.

The principal prize in the mum classes
was $50 for twenty-four flowers on 12-
inch stems, in twenty-four varieties. This
was won by C. H. Totty, with Wm.
Turner, of Oceanic, second, and Wm.
Lyons, Morristown, third. The flowers
set up in this class were superb, and
it is an open question whether such
another exhibit could be set up elsewhere.
The winner's varieties were Beatrice
May, President Viger, M. Hankey, F.
S. Vallis, Merza, Mrs. H. Partridge,
Col. Appleton, Mrs. T. W. Pockett, Mrs.
D. V. West, Reginali Vallis, M. L.
Rousseau, Mrs. Geo. Hunt, Armand De-

troyat, Mrs. J. Dunne, Ben Wells, Chel-
toni, Mrs. W. Duckham, Montigny, Mrs.
J. A. Miller, Nellie Pockett, O. H. Broom-
head, • Mary Donnellan, Mrs. Norman
Davis and Mary Mason, the latter four
being novelties not yet in cultivation.
Wm. Turner had splendid flowers of
Pres. Loubet, Beatrice May, F. S. Val-
lis, and G. J. Warren in his exhibit.

The thirty-six flowers in six varieties
was also won by Mr. Totty, with Wm.
Lyons second. The winning six were
M. L. Rousseau, Col. Appleton, Nellie
Pockett, F. S. Vallis, W. Etherington
and Reginald Vallis. Eighteen flowers
in six varieties was won by John Down-
ing, Morris Plains, with James Fraser
a close second. In the class for twelve
in twelve varieties, conditions were re-
versed, Mr. Downing running second
to J. Fraser 's first. Mr. Fraser was
also successful on ten white and ten
pink, six white and six pink. Mr.
Eraser's Duckhams are always a feature
of this show. This year with the white
Duckham, or Miss Clay Frick, as it
should properly be called, he did the
same in whites and the flowers were bet-
ter at the close of the show than when
staged. Mr, Downing also did finely,
winning the Kahn silver cup, the Rick-
ards special and the Hammond special.

C. H. Totty won for twelve yellow
with Appleton and on single varieties
and collection of pompons. Peter Duff
won for six flowers, any other color, with
Glenview, and A. R. Kennedy won on
six yellow with immense Mrs. Geo. Hunt.

Mr. Fraser won for six flowers of
1906 introductions, and Harold B. Vyse
won the six of 1907 introductions, Mr.
Duflf taking the six flowers of any six
varieties. Particularly noticeable in his
exhibits were Mrs. W. Duckham and
Beatrice May.

In the groups of chrysanthemum
plants in flower with foliage plants, Mr.
Downing was first, H. B. Vyse second,
and John Jones third. Peter Duflf
showed himself invincible in specimen
plants, as usual, Mr. Downing running
second. Six plants in flower was won
by Mr. Lyons, with H. B. Vyse second.

The rose classes were poorly filled,
though the quality was high. L. A.
Noe won first for eighteen Beauties,
twenty-five Bridesmaids and Brides, and
second on Richmond, S. Wyatt running
second in Bridesmaid and L. B. Codding-
ton second in the Beauty class. Frank
L. Moore got first for Richmond and
twelve Brides and W. J. Badgley first
for twelve Richmond and twelve Maids.

In the rose classes open to private
gardeners only, Andrew Kennedy got
first for six Beauty and second for six

teas and six Richmond, first in the last
named classes falling to Peter DuflE and
E. Reagan, respectively.

Competition in the carnation classes
was stronger than ever before. Edward
Reagan got first for three vases of twelve
blooms each, and Jas. Fraser second.
Andrew Kennedy got first in twenty-

John Downing won the Pierson special
for twenty-five Winsor, Jas. Fraser sec-

twelve blooms each, and C. H. Totty
the single vase. The principal varieties
shown were White Perfection, Victory,
Enchantress and Robt. Craig.

The violet classes were won by W. J.
Herzog and Peter Duflf.

In the vegetable classes Jas. Fraser
covered himself with glory, winning the
Boddington special and the Burnett

Henderson prize, and Mr. Lyons the
celery classes.

Certificates of merit were awarded to
Dailledouze Bros., for a fine vase of
Afterglow carnations; to Lager & Hur-
rell, for a table of orchids; to C. H.
Totty, for collection of single varieties;
to A. T. Boddington, for Cosmos Lady
Lenox; to A. R. Whitney, for splendid
bunches of grapes; to Andrew Kennedy,
for Cattleya labiata, and to Harry
Turner, for new and entirely distinct
celosias. Mr. Turner calls his strain
Pride of Castlegould, and has refused
many tempting offers to sell his plants.
Jas. Fraser received a certificate for
new coleus, which he expects to place
on the market later.

Honorable mention was given to Brook
Ijawn Farms for a collection of trained
chrysanthemum plants, which attracted
coiisldcrable attention, one of which, a
hen sitting on her nest, was particularly
telling. Others were trained into boats,
fans and several other designs.

The stage was grouped by Mr. Her-
rington, as usual, and the other posi-

ENGLANiyS ROSE SCX:iETY.

From an English gardeners' magazine
it is learned that this society continues
to grow rapidly, and is increasing at the
rate of 600 members per year. At the
committee meeting held October 1, the

secretary reported that 216 mem-
bers had joined during the three-
months ended September 30. Next year
the society will hold four exhibitions in-
stead of three, two in London, and two-
in the provinces; the metropolitan show
will be held at the Eoyal Botanic So-
ciety's Gardens, Regent's Park, July
9, and the northern show will be held at
Manchester at a date yet to be ar-
ranged. The autumn show will, as usual,,
be held at Horticultural hall, but tho
date has not yet been fixed. The south-
ern show has been revived for the pur-
pose of enabling amateurs in the south
to exhibit under the best conditions.

VaRGINIA POEHLMANN.

At the establishment of Poehlmanu
Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 111., one of the
finest benches of early mums this season
was a pure white sport of Mme. Paul
Sahut, as shown in the illustration ac-
companying this note. August Poehl-
mann has named the sport for his
daughter, Virginia Poehlmann. The form
and substance of the flower are among
its best characteristics. It is a fine,
solid flower and a splendid shipper.
The photograph reproduced was taken
October 14 and shows a remarkable
evenness in a bench of flowers grown
without special care and purely for com-
mercial purposes. The blooms were
ready to cut a few days ahead of Touset.

The parent variety, Mme. Sahut, was
a Calvat sort, imported and distributed
in 1904 by Smith & Son and the E. G.
Hill Co. It is white, edged with pink.
It is not a tall-growing sort, usually
about three feet when the crown bud is
taken.

SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

[A paper by C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J..
read before the Chrysantbemum Society of
America at New York, November 6.]

The single-flowered type of chrysan-
themum is not new, in the sense that it
is a recent break from any other type,
and yet it was, until the last two years,
practically unknown by the majority of
flower buyers in America.

There are several reasons for this, the
principal one, perhaps, being that the
public had been educated to the large
flowers and could not see the money's
worth in the more modest singles, put-
ting them down in their own minds as
merely outdoor hardy flowers. Today
things are changing and the single vari-
eties are becoming recognized at their
true worth, I will confess that it was
the working of the old law of supply
and demand that caused me to turn to
the single varieties.

Americans traveling in Europe and
noting the many beautiful types of
singles, and the varied uses to which
they were put, asked their auperintc-nd-

ents why these singles were not grown
more in America. As in every walk of
business life, the demand created the
supply, and today I can point you to
many private establishments where
the singles are grown in ever-increasing
quantity for conservatory decoration, as
pot plants, and where they are highly
appreciated for cut-flower use.

Popular in Flower Stores.

One day last week I spent a few min-

Virgioia Poehlmann and Her Mum.

utes in a high-class retail store. On the
counter were two vases of singles, one
Kitty Bourne, a yellow, and the other
Ladysmith, a light pink. During those
few minutes I noticed that two sales

were made of those varieties, ' and,
though it may be only a straw, does
not the old proverb say that a straw
shows how the wind blows?

Aside, however, from the financial
side of the question, the singles make
beautiful pot plants, they are easy to
grow, and there are few homes the oc-
cupants of which cannot enjoy them if
they care anything for flowers at all.

There is no fear that the singles will
displace the big flowers, either on the
show table or for large decorations, but
both have their place and should be
recognized.

Society's Attention Suggested.

I am not aware that the Chrysanthe-
mum Society of America has ever made
provision in its classification or scale of
points for the single-flowered type, but
I submit it to the executive board for
consideration at some future date. The
American hybridizer is busy raising new
singles, and if the C. S. A, will give him
encouragement and an ideal to strive
for I think we could soon see wonderful
improvement over present types. I do
not happen to know the scale of points
of the British society, but for the sake
of uniformity it might be well, perhaps,
in case this society takes up the matter,,
to find out and see how they would ap-
ply to our own case.

A good type of single to my mind
should be, first, dwarf in habit. The
weedy, loose growing forms are not so
well adapted for pot plants, nor do they
make the showing as a cut flower that
the dwarfer, closer type does. The
flower should be almost flat when
opened. If the petals droop too much
it destroys the shape of the flower,
which should be circular. Also, the flow-
er should not have too many rows of
petals. A semi-double flower cannot be
called a single in any sense of the word.
If one add to these qualifications a
flower of good, clean color, the result is
a thing of beauty, which, if not a joy
forever, is at least a source of great
satisfaction to the grower, and a boo»
to the gardener who has to produce a
good deal of stock from a limited space.

' '■'■'X'^--:'':ii2- Of Simple Culture.

Culturally, the singles present no
problems to master. There is no ques-
tion of crown or terminal buds, since
the plants are allowed to develop natur-
ally, and, of course, give flowers only
from terminals. I find it pays to disbud
slightly, as the flowers then come much
£ner, and the plants respond to generous
feeding as readily as do the big flowers.

A selection of good varieties would
run about as follows:

White — Miss Irene Cragg, Nancy Per-
kins, Gertrude, Miss T. C. Warden and
Merstham White.

Pink — Ladysmith, Mrs. E. Eoberts,
<jrracie Lambert, F. W. Smith, Eeine des
Eoses, Katie Covell and Marvel.

Yellow — Kitty Bourne, Lily Beer,
Oolden Star, Miss A. Holden, Pretoria
and Kathleen Bunyard.

Odd colors — Mary Eichardson, salmon
red, one of the finest we have; Crown
Jewel, a fine bronzy yellow ; Belle of
Weybridge, chestnut; Felix, chestnut;
Linton, large flowered deep blush; Eev.
W. E. Eenfrey, crimson maroon; Ethel
Beer, bright terra cotta.

The list of varieties runs into the
hundreds, and all have some merit,
though many are almost identical in
•color, and one naturally looks for the
cream only. In conclusion, gentlemen,
permit me to say that few plants will
give better return for the amount of time
and trouble involved in their culture
than the once despised single chrysan-
themum.

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

'ye9i'Uem*'n.'%dt0^'ye0<'Ufm^^-%ie^'U,0<%dt0<U:0^'U^-U(^'U^

Preparing Composts.

Autumn is the season when the florist
must needs gather together a bountiful
supply of compost to last him for an-
other year. If a sufficient quantity has
already been stacked, all the better. If
not, an early opportunity must be taken
to secure it, as the ground may freeze
up tight at any time and the frost king
may not release his grasp until April, a
season when work overwhelms us on
every side and when we have less leisure
than now to secure what we need.

The supreme importance of good com-
post cannot be overestimated. We may
bave good houses, a fine heating system
and every other advantage for the pro-
duction of good crops, but if our soil is
below par we cannot hope to compete
with our neighbors, who hiave paid more
attention to their soil. How many
florists there still are who continue to
use over old soil for their carnations,
roses or chrysanthemums, merely mixing

some rotten barnyard manure or chem-
icals with it and planting their crops
right in it ! Common sense tells us that we
cannot get the same returns from ex-
hausted as from fresh compost, yet hun-
dreds from a spirit of false economy
persist in using the old soil.

Secure Good Composts.

Progressive florists would never think
of building greenhouses until they had
assured themselves of an abundance of
good loam, either on their own land or
within easy haul. It pays in the long
run to secure good pasture sod, with
plenty of fiber, even if it costs con-
siderably more per cubic yard than the
loose loam you can purchase from some
nearby contractor who is excavating cel-
lars for some of your neighbors,

Lanil which has been in pasture for a
number of years makes the ideal com-
post. The tougher and more fibrous it
is, all the better. Cut the sod four inches
thick, stack it in square piles and add a

load of well rotted barn manure (prefer-
ably that from cows) to every two or
three loads of sod. Stack it six feet
high, and leave a flat surface for water
to thoroughly soak it and assist in its
decomposition.

If you stacked it early in the fall you
now can chop down and mix over the
pile. If made now, the mixing can be
done in April after frost has gone.

Some growers decry this piecemeal
mixing of compost, but we have yet to
find a superior way of preparing soil to
grow good roses, carnations, violets,
mums and, in fact, any other bench crop.
It answers, we find, very well for many
pot plants. Of course' specialists may
not approve of this mode of preparation,
but it answers admirably for the aver-
age florist who handles a variety of
crops and cannot go to the trouble of
preparing a number of mixtures.

Some of your plants to be grown in
pots will not need any manure in the
soil in their early stage of growth, so
reserve a pile of pure sod to use for
them. Get good sod, even if it needs
a longer haul and costs more. The best
is usually the cheapest in the long run.

Miscellaneous Composts.

In addition to loam, a good supply of
which will need to be placed under cover
before the ground freezes tight, you
should have some of that valuable and
necessary medium, leaf -mold. Save your
leaves and stack them each year. Turn
once or twice, and in two years you will
have a supply of excellent mold, than
which nothing is better for seedling-
raising and for adding to the loam for
many plants. Be careful not to mix
pine needles in your leaves. An expe-
rience of these has been that they almost
ruin the mold.

Sand is another necessity, it being
needed not only for propagating but
for adding to the compost for many
plants. Secure a good supply of sharp
sand now.

Well rotted and dried cow and sheep
manure are both of great value, being
better than the manure from horses or
hogs. You cannot go wrong in placing
some of this where it is at least pro-
tected from the weather.

llie Weekly Rorists' Review.

NOVBMBBB 7, 1007.

Moss, either from the woods or that
from swamps, commonly known as sphag-
num, is useful for bottoms of pots for
covering drainage or for packing plants
you may have to ship away.

It is possible that we may have open
weather for some weeks yet, but it is
better to be on the safe side and get the
necessary constituents for your compost
together now, rather than when snow and
ice have covered them.

Chrysanthemum* for Stock.

Many of the mums will be cut now
and you will have much needed space for
other crops. Be sure to reserve an am-
ple supply of stock plants of kinds you
intend to keep. Do not put these in
pots or boxes under the benches, or in
any out of the way place. If possible,
plant them in a bench in a cool house;
one just clear of freezing is ideal.
Treated in this way, you are certain to
have an abundant supply of sturdy cut-
tings when you want to propagate. If
you cannot spare a bench, put them in
flats in a cold house or pit; if you have
frost-proof frames, plant in them, as
many do. A little frost at times will
not hurt them if they are allowed to
thaw out in the dark. Select vigorous
plants for stock and throw away kinds
which have become superseded.

".';; '■•■>,: Cineraria»,

Those spring blooming plants, the
cinerarias, make rapid growth now that
the weather is cooler and soon fill their
pots with roots. As a rule, 6-inch pots
are large enovigh for commercial stock,
but if specimens of good size will sell, it
will pay to shift them into 8-inch. Give
them a tolerably rich compost for their
final potting. Fibrous loam, dry cow
manure, sand and a little fine bone grows
good plants. Press the soil quite firmly
and continue to grow as cool as possible;
40 to 45 degrees at night is better than
10 degrees higher. Keep some fresh
tobacco stems scattered among the pots
to hold green aphis in control.

Hardy Lilies.

It is usually November before the sup-
plies of such lilies as auratum and spe-
cioBum come to hand. Each of the two
varieties named has some commercial
value, speciosum album being especially
useful. If you want some of these to
bloom next summer inside, get them into
the soil right away. Better not use too
small pots. Those seven and eight inches
in diameter and holding three or more
bulbs each answer well. Boxes six inches
deep also answer well for a large num-
ber and- where the flowers are all cut
this is good enough to grow them. After
potting, give one good watering and
then keep somewhat on the dry side until

the roots are running freely around the
sides of the pots.

To follow the pot plants, which cab
be stood in any cellar or shed just clear
of freezing, a good batch can be planted
outdoors. Place the bulbs nine to twelve
inches below the surface, bedding them
in sand, and give a winter mi^ch of
strawy manure or leaves after the
ground is hard frozen.

The present is also a suitable time to
plant nearly all hardy lilies. Do not
make a mistake and put them in the soil
as shallow as tulips or daffodils. Even
the smaller-bulbed sorts do better eight
to ten inches below the surface, and
none of the larger ones should be set
less than ten to twelve inches deep. In
Japan many are found growing luxu-
riantly at double these depths, and many
failures in growing hardy lilies are due
to too sallow planting. A little shade,
a summer mulch and deep planting in
ground well drained are essentials to
success with hardy lilies.

Brief Reminders.

Move lilies on to the benches as soon
as they are nicely above ground. Guard
against overwatering, which is a cause
of failure and diseased plants.

Keep mignonette disbudded and sup-
ported; 45 degrees at night is sufficient-
ly warm. Give plenty of ventilation and
feed the cut coming along for Christ-
mas.

Allow flowers to develop on Lorraine
begonias wanted for Thanksgiving sales.
If not needed until Christmas, pinch off
flower buds until the middle of Novem-
ber. Afford the plants full sunshine.

Plant out any antirrhinums, left over
in pots, in benches from which mums
have been cleared.

Finish up planting of Dutch bulbs as
soon as possible. Weather for this week
has been ideal, but can hardly last much
longer.

Keep gloxinia bulbs in a temperature
of 50 to 55 degrees and be sure water
does not reach them, to excite premature
growth or cause rot. Keep fancy-leaved
caladiums in a temperature of 60 to 65
degrees.

Spread out the little geraniums as you
have space to spare. Keep them on the
dry side for some time.

Practically all shading can now be re-
moved from foliage plants. Adiantums
will be of better color if shaded, but
nephrolepises do not now need it.

On warm evenings do not shut off all

midseason mums you will be able to give
marguerites more room. They are rapid
growers and need frequent repotting,
compared to the majority of flowering
plants. The earliest and largest plants
propagated last spring should now be
large and bushy and if well matted with
roots will be benefited by manure water
every few days; but, as with all stock,
use it weak at first.

These plants are valuable at Christ-
mas and are always in demand. To
flower for the holidays, old plants are
the best. If in a light, airy house these
should now be commencing to flower.
Keep succession batches potted on as
they require it. You can still secure
nice Easter stock by inserting cuttings
now. For Memorial day you can pro-
pagate even later. Plants in benches or
in pots allowed to root through into the
benches are less liable to give you a
Christmas crop than those closely re-
stricted to their pots.

heat from any of the houses. Rather
allow a little warmth to circulate in the
pipes and ventilate freely to preserve a
buoyant atmosphere.

The present is a good time to plant
hardy roses, provided they are afforded
proper winter protection.

Do not forget, to fumigate once a
week. It is better not to see any pests.
It is poor policy to wait until they are
swarming and smoke heavily, injuring
some of your more tender plants.

One picture shows the range of green-
houses, photographed from the carna-
tion field in the rear. The other picture
is from a snapshot of the delivery outfit,
which is a standing advertisement for
the firm.

Dobbs & Son say that business with
them has been exceptionally good, not
only this fall, but all summer. They
attribute this largely to persistent ad-
vertising, in which they are firm be-
lievers. They are using all possible
methods of reaching the buyers, includ-
ing newspapers, telephone and city direc-
tories, street car cards and circulars.
They believe newspaper advertising to
be most effective, but consider its value
added to by the constant showing their
name receives in 'other methods. They
are up-to-date in all their equipment,
not only in the greenhouses but in the
office as well, as they recently added a
card index of customers and a filing
system, which makes it possible to econo-
mize both time and space.

E. H. Dobbs is the youngest florist in
business for himself in his section, being
only 28 years of age. He has been at
the business all his life, working for his
father until he was 20 years old, when
he was taken into partnership. He
bought his father's interest in the busi-
ness in May, 1906, but continues it un-
der the same firm name.

DETROIT FLORISTS' CLUB.

Annual Outing to Mt. Clemens.

On Friday, November 1, another out-
ing was added to the long list of annual
outings at the Bath City, by the Detroit
Florists' Club. On this occasion, as
on some previous ones, they had as guests
a large number of Toledo florists, among
them Messrs. Bayer, Mills, Barrow, Peck,
Peck, Jr., Kruger, Schiller, Wortz, Mil-
ler, Miller, Jr., Searles, Phillips, and
Gallier. Just thirteen, and on a Friday!
No wonder the rear of the car was stove
in by a runaway freight car. Luckily
no one was injured.

The car was hardly under way when
cigars were passed around by Albert
Pochelon, on the strength of a baby
boy.

The first stop was made at J. F. Sul-
livan's greenhouses. One of the features
of this place is a fine house of Kil-
lamey roses. The mums looked espec-
ially good, with the exception of a lot
of Enguehard, the foliage of which suf-
fered from overfeeding. The inner man
was here well provided for.

Leopold Mallest grows Lawson, En-
chantress, White Perfection and Boston
Market. All these were in splendid con-
dition. A house of violets was coming
along nicely after having received a set-
back from poor soil. Mr. Mallest be-
came famous in this locality last year
on account of his violets.

From this place it is but a short dis-
tance to Breitmeyer's large span of
glass, where the visitors found a table
literally covered with good things to
eat and drink.

Breitmeyer's roses look fine. La De-
troit, Kiliamey, Richmond and Beauty,
especially so. Kiliamey is Fred's favor-
ite this year, and he intends to grow
many more in 1908. Chrysanthemums
are not being grown in as large num-
bers as before, the fancy ones being
grown at their Mack avenue place, but
what stock they are growing is good.
The carnations promise to bring in good
returns this season. White Perfection
is the favorite white variety. Beacon
is the favorite red. Winsor is liked
very much. Craig, Enchantress, Rose-
pink Enchantress, White Lawson, Vic-

tory and several others are grown and
they have a number of good seedlings of
their own. Between the Beauty houses,
which were formerly separate, they have
built small houses which are devoted
to violets. From these they are already
cutting some good flowers and the out-
look is for a large crop.

Just across the way from Breit-
meyer's is Robert Klagge's large span
of glass. In the new boiler-room, two
immense new boilers are waiting for
winter. Mr. Klagge's place has always
been known as a model one, and this
season it surely is well worthy of the
name. The stock in all the houses is in
fine condition, with the exception of
one house of La Detroit, which has been
suft'ering frota mildew all summer. One
house of Kaiserin attracted particular
attention; some of the stems must have
been five feet long.

Just across the way are A. L. Stevens'
greenhouses. Mr. Stevens grows noth-
ing but carnations, but these are ex-
ceptionally well grown. Lady Bountiful,
Lawson, Flamingo and Morning Glory
are some of the varieties. Of course,
the hospitality of this place meant some
more refreshments and cigars for the
crowd.

James Tayior was waiting at the door
with a glad hand for everyone. The
old shed which adorned the Taylor place
for many years has given place to a
long cross house which is to be devoted
to smilax and other green stock. From
the general appearance of things, it
was easily seen that he has been busy
during the summer. The mums are
as good as we saw in Mt. Clemens. Mrs.
Taylor provided some fine coffee, with
sandwiches, doughnuts and apples.

Just another short distance and we
arrived at John Carey's. To hear him
tell it, one would think he grew the
poorest stuff in the city, but if our
eyes are not deceiving us, he was wrong.
The carnations were fine. He has a
variegated sport of Lawson that is a
winner. The color is a delicate pink
with dark pink stripes, making a veiy
pleasing combination.

Carey's large shed is usually where
the boys rest for a short time, and dur-
ing the serving of refreshments the

president called on some of the talented
members for stories, songs, etc. Mr.
Peck, of Toledo, recited a funny piece
and George Browne, who has been called
the Michigan poet, recited several clever
things of his own composition.

A. Von Boeselager's place makes by
far the prettiest appearance of any in
Mt. Clemens. A new front of cobble-
stone and cement has just been added
to the front end of one of the green-
hmises, for it is the intention to do
some retail business. The whole stock,
roses, carnations and mums, was spoken
of as being as good as any seen. White
Enchantress showed up exceptionally
well. After a photo was taken of the
whole party, we were all fed again in
the potting shed, which was appropriately
decorated for the occasion.

The Toledo boys thoroughly enjoyed
themselves, at least so they all said.
The Toledo club resulted directly from
a visit of the Detroit florists to Toledo,
several years ago. Since then the club
has been growing steadily and now it
ranks with the best of them. H. S.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The market last week can best be ex-
plained by the everyday phrase, "Noth-
ing doing." Everybody complained of
stock going to waste and the commission
house was crowded the whole week.
Everything is abundant, with mums
standing above the others.

Various Notes.

Through the courtesy of Charles San-
diford we were able to see the beauti-

terations in its store at Cold Springs.
A complete change was made and the
store is now very attractive.

The fall flower show, which was pro-
posed for this season, it seems will not
occur. There seems to be no particular
reason for not having it, but the matter
seems to have been dropped entirely.

Conrad Forbach, Buffalo's begonia
king, is again in evidence with a grand
lot of plants for Christmas. A visit to
his place makes you wonder how he does
it. The houses were built years ago and
are in bad condition. The grower's abil-

A CORTLAND STORE.

Hike & Jones do a general business at
Cortland, N. Y,, handling seeds as well
as plants and cut flowers and doing a
wholesale as well as a local retail trade.
The accompanying illustration shows the
store and a part of the show house,
which is sixty feet long. At the rear are
the greenhouses, 250 feet deep. The dec-
orations are those put up during a recent
firemen's tournament in the town.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business in the cut flower line last
week was not encouraging to the local
retailers, who think that the dull week
was owing to the present difficulty in
obtaining currency. Large social func-
tions are few and far apart. Funeral

ful cosmos. Lady Lenox, the latest in-
troduction of A, T, Boddington, The
flower is a winner in every respect and
will no doubt be grown extensively next
fall.

The Wm. Scott Co. has completed al-

work is a daily occurrence and this alone
helps out greatly. As a number of
retailers say, if it were not for this kind
of work we might report the market
as being very dull. With the money
market in its present condition, the flrst I

thought is to cut out luxury, and that
means us.

There is plenty 'of good stock in the
market for any and all work that comes
in. As show weeks are at hand, chrys-
anthemums are at their height, and all
the wholesale houses are receiving extra
good stock in all varieties and are hav-
ing a good demand.

Beauties are selling better, but fancy
long are limited, and there are not any
too many of the other grades. The
smaller roses are plentiful, with only
the first grades moving.

Carnations are cleaning up well each
day, with fancy grades scarce. White
has been in great demand. The sharp
change in the market has had a bene-
ficial effect on violets in color and
stems, and the demand for them is very
good.

Small white chrysanthemums in bunches,
outdoor grown, sell well for funeral
work. There is plenty of good smUax,
adiantum and asparagus in the market.

Various Notes.

Adolph Brix, who celebrates his tenth
anniversary with a grand floral exhibi-
tion, free to the public, spent a few
days in Chicago last week buying plants
for the exhibition, which opens Novem-
ber 7 and ends SsEiturday night.

Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111.,
is sending C. A. Kuehn a fine lot of
Uncle John roses. Mr. Ammann expects
to be in Chicago during the flower show.

Charles Schoenle is making a pretty
show of blooming plants at his store.
He reports a good run in wedding decora-
tions and also a number of large funeral
designs last week, Mrs, Shoenle is among-
the best in arranging floral designs.

The Horticultural Society last week
distributed window posters announcing
the show. These are of the same de-
sign as those of the Chicago show. All
the members of the society are hard
at work for a grand opening Novem-
ber 12.

John Held, a florist living at 4722
Tennessee avenue, was robbed last week.
His wife and one of the workmen were
chloroformed while he was firing the boil-
er, Mr, Held arrived in time and held
on to the robber, but before the police
arrived he got away, A gold watch and
some money went with him.

The Grand Leader, one of our largest
department stores, has opened a plant
department, which is in charge of Frank
Buckshadt, lately with the Michel Plant
and Bulb Co, They are daily advertis-
ing cheap sales and are doing a rushing
business. No doubt, their next move
will be to add cut flowers to this de-
partment,

Robert F. Tesson visited Chicago re-
cently, in the interest of the Horticul-
tural Society, Mr, Tesson will be mar-
ried November 12 to Miss Harriet Wil-
kerson. The wedding will take place in
the Christ Church chapel. The happy
couple will be at home to their friends
after January 1, at Sunny Point, West
Forest Park. We extend our congratula-
tions.

Tom Carroll, who a few years ago had
an extensive greenhouse plant at Clay-
ton, and retired on account of his eye-
sight failing him, had the worst of
luck again last week. His house burned
down, and his wife, who was trying to
save him. as he is blind, was burned to
death. He lived at 6170 Bartmer avenue.
He lost everything he had. Great sym-
pathy is expressed for him in the trade.

ry ('. Ostertaj;, of Ostertag Bros., died
November 3. after an illness of three
weeks. She is snrvived by her husband
and five children. Mr. Ostertag is well
known in the trade throughout the coun-
try, and is a member of the Florists'
Club and Horticultural Society, which
extend their sympathy. The funeral
took place Wednesday afternoon from
the family residence, 4727 Washington
boulevard, to Bethlehem cemetery. A
great many beautiful floral designs were
sent by Mr. Ostertag's friends, express-
ing sympathy.

Florists Waldbart, Ayers and New-
man, at Grand avenue and Olive street,
are great attractions for the buyers in
that district, with their fine window dis-
plays of cut chrysanthemums. An ex-
cellent trade is reported in these blooms,
with good prices.

Henry Kohrs, manager for Grimm &
Gorley, reports an abundance of funeral
work last week. A chrysanthemum win-
dow display is attractive this week.

The Missouri Botanical Garden opened
its free chrysanthemum show November
4, and it will be open for two weeks.
The show, as usual, is held in a large
tent near the main entrance. A large
crowd was in attendance the first day.

The members of the St. Louis Florists '
Club should not forget that on next
Thursday afternoon, November 14, the
club holds its regular monthly meeting
in the Burlington building. Owing to
the great number of visitors who are
expected in town, extra preparations
have been made by the officers of th?
club to entertain them on that afternoon,
and an invitation is extended to all
Visitors to meet with us. President Wm.
Young says there will be plenty to eat,
drink and smoke for all who attend, and
requests that all members attend who
possibly can.

Charles Johann, son of the well known
florist, Henry Johann, of Collinsville, 111.,
WM married recently in Collinsville to
•Miss Anna Flahd, of Troy, HI. The

church in which the wedding took place
was artistically decorated by Mr. Jo-
hann, assisted by his friend J. F. Am-
mann, of Edwanlsville. The happy
coupl? will reside in a new house, built
by the father on the Johann place. Mr.
Johann is well known among members
of the trade here, who extend their con-
gratulations.

Among the visitors have been B. Esch-
ner and M. Reukauf. J. J. B.

ANEWONE JAPONICA.

During the last half of September and
the first half of October outdoor flow-
ers, outside of asters and dahlias, are
by no means plentiful. To those requir-
ing an abundance of flowers which can
be cut with long stems, there can be no
better plant than the Japanese anemone,
or Anemone Japoniea. Propagation
should be done in the winter, by cutting
up the roots into small pieces, laying
quite thickly in a propagating bed an<l
covering with sand. Growths will soon
start, and when a couple of leaves are
made the plants should be potted off
into 214-inch pots and grown along in a
cool house until the end of March, when
they can be placed in a coldframe anti
planted outdoors a month later.

The plants will not flower so profusely
or so early the first season as in suc-
ceeding years. After the second season
they will produce flower stalks four feet
in length, which are very fine in large
vases and make beautiful table center-
pieces. The flowers should be cut and
their stems plunged in a tub of cold
water over night before they are mar-
keted or used for house decoration. In
planting, select a sheltered location for
a number of the plants, to avoid early
frosts. A light freezing will not hurt
them. In 1906 we cut flowers until No-
vember 1. A coating of leaves or strawy
manure is needed after the ground
freezes. Ground on which water stands
in winter is unsuitable for anemones, as

the roots will decay under such condi-
tions.

Of the several varieties of Anemone
Japonica we consider alba, single, pure
white, the most chaste and useful.
Whirlwind, semi-double white, is good,
but less graceful either growing or cut.
The common A. Japonica has two rows
of rosy pink petals, (^ueen Charlotte is
of a better shade, namely, silvery pink,
with large semi-double flowers. Lady
Ardilaun, single white with overlapping
petals, and liord Ardilaun, double white,
are other goo<l forms. It is surprising
that these anemones are practically un-
known commercially. They fill in a gap
just before the chrysanthemum season
opens, which should commend them to
florists. The blooms partially close at
night, which, however, does not destroy
their j)opularity with critical flower buy-
ers. W. ^'. Craig.

SEEDS OF LILIUM.

I am growing quite a variety of bulbs
in the Puget Soun<l region and I would
like to know something about the sowing
of seeds of Lilium Washingtonianum.
What is the proper time for planting?
Any other information will be welcome.

G. G.

Lily see<l is best s*)v\n as soon as
gathered. Germination will t-ommence
the following spring and continue over
a long period; in fact, seeds of some
lilies will remain in the ground and not
germinate until the second season after
sowing. The seedbed should therefore be
left undisturbetl for a considerable
period. A. H.

Hoi'.STOM Heiohts.Tex.— W. A. Haw-
kins reports a fine business for All
Saints' day, better than ever before. He

doors in open ground, potted October
l.T, protected by 8-ounce ducking, well
flowered by October 30, and all sol<l.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

The . trade and the public both like
Carnation White Perfection.

Correspon'dents will add to the value
of their contributions if they will state
the day of the month an event trans-
pired, instead of writing it "Monday
week," or otherwise leaving it to the
reader to guess what day is meant.

A. J. Loveless, president of the Chrys-
anthemum Society of America, is of
opinion that for size, color and finish,
the magnificent blooms staged October
23, in his home town of Lenox, Mass.,
are not likely to be excelled at any ex-
hibition this season. The growers were
the gardeners who preside over the fine
estates which abound in the picturesque
Berkshire Hills.

GENERAL BUSINESS.

The Dun mercantile agency, in its re-
view of general business conditions last
week, said:

"Buying of necessaries and seasonable
goods in the leading retail lines has un-
dergone no notable diminution. Coun-
try buyers continue coming to market in
goodly numbers, many urging prompt ship-
ments, and the bookings in the principal
staples and holiday wares make a grati-
fying aggregate. Some reassortment or-
ders appear in the textiles, indicating
that consumption has already exceeded
expectations. Reports as to mercantile
collections are mixed, but slowness is
more apparent at various points.

' ' Iron and steel contracts keep the
furnaces and mills busy, and heavy de-
liveries continue of furnace product,

rails, structural shapes and factory out-
puts. Activity is well sustained in forge
and foundry work, heavy hardware, ma-
chinery, furniture and footwear, and the
absorption of raw material generally is
unabated, except lumber, which feels
effect of lessened building demand."

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

Quite general satisfaction is reported
as to the market in the last week. Ship-
ping demand has been fully as good as
usual at chrysanthemum season and local
buying is up to normal. Supplies are
rather more than equal to all require-
ments, with the possible exception of
carnations, some orders having Imd to be
cut last week.

The chrysanthemum rules the market.
Quality has deteriorated, for the mid-
season sorts are passing off, and the
late kinds do not seem to be much earlier
than usual, with the result that there
has been a hiatus, during which we
have had only the fag. end of the earlier
varieties. Only now and then is there
a wholesaler who thinks he is getting
as much for his mums as he received
last year, but most of them say they are
getting as much for them as they re-
ceived two years ago, last year having
been an exceptionally good season. The
good late sorts are now coming on and
it is to be hoped better prices are to
be realized, but by November 5 the
demand was exceedingly slow.

Rose crops are lighter than they have
been, and the market therefore is stiff-
er, and not so much affected by the
glut of small chrysanthemums. Maid
and Killarney have lost their color.

but Richmond is superb. (Jhatonay is
not so greatly in evidence as at this
season last year, when it was overabun-
dant. Such varieties as Mrs. Field,
Kate Moulton, Joe Hill and other spec-
ialty roses are selling well, but prin-
cipally in the city. The crop of Beauty
is not heavy, but orders can be filled
if wants are made known sufficiently
in advance of the hour of shipment.

Good carnations are quickly taken up,
at satisfactory prices. Some of the
stock is of splendid quality, but a
larger proportion than usual at this date
shows late benching. The New York
violets are coming in heavily, perhaps
because of a reporte<i dull market in
New York. The quality is excellent
for the season and as high as $1 per
hundred is obtained, but the market
averages much lower. Home grown
violets also are abundant, and the singles
do not fetch as much as the imported
doubles, although fragrant. There is a
good supply of valley, lilies, orchids and
other seasonable flowers. Green goods
also are abundant.

Thanksgiving is only three weeks away.

Flower Show Baoquet.

The Florists' Club's banquet to trade
visitors will take place Saturday even-
ing, at 7:30, at the Auditorium hotel.
Those living within a ramus of fifty
miles of Chicago are expected to be
members of the Florists' Club, and
tickets will cost them $3 each. The
guests from outside the fifty-mile radius
are expected to be numerous. P. J.
Hauswirth is in charge of the arrange-
ments.

Popularizing a Roic

Probably no new rose ever received

so big a boost with the public as the
Tribune gave Peter Reinberg's Mrs.
Marshall Field in its Sunday issue, No-
vember 3, whefi a full page in colors was
devoted to its exploitation as a flower
show attraction. The picture was strik-
ing and among other things the story
said : * ' No doubt the popularity of
Mrs. Field contributed to the popularity
of the rose. It instantly attracted at-
tention. The rose which had been chris-
tened in her honor captivated Mrs.
Field. She at once popularized it. The
namesake rose outstripped all its com-
petitors in the rose market. Mrs. Field
ordered hundreds of the wonderful blos-
soms. She decorated her house with them
at every aflfair at which she was hostess.
She had the roses which bore her name
on her table at every meal. When she
sent flowers to her friends .she sent Mrs.
Marshall Fiehl roses. Visitors to the
big Coliseum exhibition will look upon
the graceful, nodding flowers with added
interest when they know that it has been
a gold mine to its originator, Aid. Peter
Reinberg, has already brought him a
fair sized fortune, and is valued by him
now at $40,000."

Weather in October.

The mean temperature in October was
.53 degrees, exactly normal, but the rain-
fall was less than an inch and only two-
fifths of normal. The wind movement,
which has an important bearing on
greenhouse heating, was 10,842 miles, a
little greater than usual for October.
There were ten clear days, ten partly
cloudy and eleven cloudy. Killing frost
arrived October 14.

October Businefs.

The footing of Octol)cr sales gives

average satisfaction. The early part
of the month was considerably better
than a year ago, but the slackening
which took place in the middle of the
month had the effect of overcoming
soin»» of the gains. an<l spoiled some
good records. The last davs of the
month were satisfactory to all.

Various Notes.

While some houses report the All
Saints' day demand from New Orleans
as less than last year, and especially
so for chrysanthemums, W. E. Lynch,
vice-president of the E. H. Hunt corpora-
tion, says the southern shipping left
them bare of stock.

The firm of Schroeder & Myer, at
South Holland, III., has been dissolved.
L. Schroeder will continue the business.

.1. A. Valentine, of Denver, was the
first of the flower show visitors to put in
an appearance. He arrived November 2.
Mr. Valentine says business this fall
has been the best ever known in Den-
ver.

Bassett & Washburn are cutting
chrysanthemums of a number of va-
rieties never before sesn in this mar-
ket. They mostly are exhibition sorts
imported by the E. G. Hill Co. The
retailers like them to add variety to the
window displays.

The A. L. Randall Co. has received a
large importation of statice wreaths and
other prepared designs for Christmas.

C. W. McKellar again is handling
nice plants of Christmas pepper from
the same grower whose stock he handled
in quantity last season.

George Reinberg is cutting a splendid
lot of Col. Appleton chrysanthemums.
The foliage is as good as the flower.

this year.

Brown, the driver for the E. F. Win-
terson Co., fell down the elevator shaft
in the store October 31, but escaped
serious injury. He will be able to be
about in a day or two.

Mrs. C. Paasch has returned from
Colorado, where she has been since July.
In the meantime the store on Halsted
street has been managed by a daughter,
who is her partner in the business.

Zech & Mann have this week been
receiving a limited quantity of the Dr.
Enguehard mum, which they thought
the best stock in the market and held at
$4 a dozen. Pink has been worth a lit-
tle more money than white or yellow
80 far this season, but is now abundant.

Harry Rowe had a large funeral or-
der for the Lehman family November
6. The casket cover was of violets and
he bought 10,000 in the market Monday.

Joseph Ziska reports himself as well
pleased with the cut of roses now being
made at the Chicago Rose Co. green-
houses at Libertyville.

J. E. Franke, who lias a retail store
on Milwaukee avenue, spends his sum-

mers next to nature at a place he owns
in the woods in northern Michigan.
With Mrs. Franke, he returned Novem-
ber 2 after four months' fishing and
hunting there.

E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros.
Co., says the growers should be well
pleased with the prices carnations have
been bringing in this market. He says
that while the best stock may not bring
more than it did last year, the lower
grades are certainly realizing a great
deal more than they did a year ago.

Mrs. Felke is again conducting the
flower stand in the North-Western de-
pot, Anton Then having decided to
again wholesale his stock at the Flower
Growers' market.

W. W. Randall returned November
2 from a three weeks' vacation spent at
the family home in western Pennsyl-
vania.

A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry,
has been selected to judge the big flower
show to be given at Little Rock, Ark.,
Novenriber 14 to 16.

Weiland & Risch say they expect to
be right in full crop for Thanksgiving.

E. C. Amling says his growers of

carnations certainly hit it right in Octo-
ber, cutting fair crops when the sup-
ply was light,

J. E. Jensen, of Jensen & Dekema,
says they are more than pleased with
the behavior of Carnation Defiance,
which is doing splendidly. Mr. Jensen
thinks it bids fair to excel all other
reds. He says it is admired by every-
one who sees it and orders for stock are
coming in at a rapid rate. Defiance is
one of W. N. Rudd's seedlings which
will be sent out jointly by Jensen &
Dekema and Mr. Rudd. Beacon, White
Enchantress, Winsor and Aristocrat
also are doing exceptionally well with
Jensen & Dekema.

Wietor Bros, are among the largest
exhibitors of mums at the flower show
this week. They have probably as large
a list of commercial varieties as any
growers in the country, for they do a
big business in cuttings and stock plants
as well as cut flowers.

John Kruchten says his chrysanthe-
mum growers will be right in line, with
their heaviest cuts at Thanksgiving.

enough November weddings on the books
to make every retailer happy.

Beauties remain firm at 20 cents for
the best, though an occasional grower de-
clares his specials do even better. But the
general average remains as quoted, and
probably will until ThanksgiWng. Maids
and Brides are abundant and prices are
low, even for the splendid quality of

the best that rsach the market. There
seems no limit to the quantity arriving,
and value is sadly handicapped by the
tremendous flood of mums.

T'.iis week will see the inrush of nuims
at its height, and prices have gone
down with sickening thuds. Here and
there, where a wholesaler has an espec-
ially expert grower to depend on, flowers
of abnormal size and finish may bring
fancy figures, but for stock last year
commanding .$4 to $6 per dozen, the
wholesaler is fortunate this year to aver-
age .$3. From this, prices go on down
to $1 per hundred. Never were retail
windows more beautiful than now. The
whole city is a chrysanthemum show.
Even the streets are ablaze with the
wealth of color and the autumn leaves
accentuate the fascinating charm.

Carnations are as perfect as one can
conceive possible, but the price has gradu-
ally fallen during the week until $2
])er hundred will purchase about the best
of them. "Too early yet for carna-
tions, ' ' said one expert. ' * Wait till the
mum is dead and they will quickly come
into their own. ' ' Many of the new
varieties and novelties are arriving, but
the demand is light.

Gardenias are perfect and have held
their price well up to the present. Thif^
week a slight recession is apparent.
From 200 to .'SOO daily are handled by
John Young, who predicts a certain con-
tinuance of their popularity. Orchids,
violets and valley all feel the strain
of the exceptional times, and will until
the holitlay. Booking of orders for
the annual festival, however, are numer-
ous already, and a fine Thanksgiving
trade is anticipated.

satisfaction as to immediate results is
seldom seen at the launching of a new
enterprise. Nothing but good can come
of the scheme, and with hardly an ex-
ception the wholesale trade of New York
is a unit in its appreciation of the plan.
It is confidently predicted that within
the month not a man in the wholesale
cut flower ranks will be out of the circle
of community of interest.

The leading retail houses are unani-
mous in commendation. They are the
first to realize the fact that in the elimi-
nation of the slow and non-reliable ele-
ment in the trade, will come increasing
prosperity to themselves. It will put
a premium upon reliability, and give for
the first time in its history a stable basis
for the wholesale market and a positive
protection against serious loss. Eeason-
able credit, by the plans and by-laws
of the association, is not refused.

The grower may well congratulate him-
self that through all the labyrinth of
risk, and trust, and hope, that has sur-

rounded the wholesaler's footsteps, his
lines have fallen in pleasant places.
Every week he gets his money. Fortu-
nate grower! I wonder if he always
appreciates the blessings that are his.

Various Notes.

John Young and F. H. Traendly leave
for the west November 7, and will have
a look in at the Chicago show.

Next Monday, November 11, at the
Florists' Club's new rooms. Thirty-
fourth street and Third avenue, the great
meeting of the year will take place. It
is chrysanthemum night and ladies' night.
Henry Sexton Adams, of Wellesley,
Mass., will lecture on school gardens.
A fine display of novelties will be on
exhibition. Nominations of officers for
1908 will be made and there will be
an abundance of refreshments and
music.

G. T. Schuneman, of Baldwins, L. I.,
celebrates his 'steenth birthday, Novem-
ber 9. His twelve houses formerly de-

voted to violets now house the Goethe
carnation. The stock is handled in New
York by Joseph Fenrich.

Samuel A. Woodrow has added a de-
livery outfit to his conveniences and
reports a good autumn trade. His
sources of supply extend to Europe and
he handles a large variety of plants.

The sympathy of the trade is general
in the severe illness of the wife of A.
M. Henshaw.

M. Adler, at 31 Wooster street, re-
ports a large demand for his indestruct-
ible pearl pins.

Perkins & Nelson have sublet a part of
their store in the Coogan building.
Their new ice-box, as big as a Harlem
flat, is now complete.

Gunther Bros, say dahlia shipments
have ceased after the longest season the
dahlia has ever enjoyed. Messrs. Gun-
ther have done a lion's share in popu-
larizing this flower in New York.

DETROIT.

The Market.

A period of quiet seems to have come
over the business in this city. There
are any number of funerals, but there
is not much work being done. Weddings
are calling for a number of good decora-
tions, but not enough to keep all busy.

Chrysanthemums cleaned up well all
the week, with the exception of yellows,
which are a glut on the market, just
as in other years. Good whites are
scarce; it is a wonder that some of the
growers do not wake up after all these
years of teaching. Pink just about meets
the demand. Grasshoppers are destroy-
ing many chrysanthemums this year, as
usual.

Beauties are moving fairly well; the
$5 grade is about the best seller on
this market. Roses are not at their best
at present. La Detroit is producing
small flowers. Bride and Maid are still
none too good. Some fine long-stemmed

SUBJECT TO MARKET CHANGE.

Mention The Review when you write.

Kaiserin are seen, but the shorter grades
are scarce.

Carnations are still a scarce article on
this market. From the appearance of
things at Mount Clemens, there should
be a better supplj soon. Many good
callas were seen at Bath City and
these will come handy for work. Easter
lilies are in good demand. Cosmos, snap-
dragon, pompons, etc., sell fairly well.
Oreen is plentiful.

Variouf Notes.

The Greek who ran a flower stand
for some time in the entrance to the
Majestic building has found the rent
too high and has vacated, going out of
the flower business entirely.

Three of our hard workers were re-
membered by the boys last week. Just
before leaving the Breitmeyer establish-
ment, at Mount Clemens, last week, Sec-
retary Sullivan presented the retiring
president, Wm. Dilger, with a fine set
of German drawing instruments, on be-
half of the club members. Our secre-

tary went on to say that there was no
harder worker in the whole club, and
no one who took more interest in its
welfare. He said that, although at times
the ex-president was rather gruff and
quick-tempered, still, this is but the out-
side. In the inside there is a heart as big
as that of an ox, and no one ever asked
a favor but what he received it, pro-
viding it were in Mr. Dilger 's power
to give it.

The retiring president had a surprise
in store for J. F. Sullivan, in the form
of a fine solid gold watch. This also
was from his fellow club members, for
his untieing work for the club as sec-
retary for the last six years. Mr. Sul-
livan was about the most surprised man
the writer has ever seen; a photo of
him at the time would have been a
study. The watch has the recipient's
initials engraved on the outside. In-
side is the wording, "Detroit Florists'
Club,. November 1, 1907."

Walter Taepke, our present treasurer,
in his second term, was also remembered

by the members with a gold-mounted
fountain pen. Walter was, of course,
also much surprised, and when called
on for a speech he was just about able
to thank the boys.

That mums of medium size are the
most popular can readily be seen. Most
of the growers have given up the large,
fancy varieties, as few people in this
city are willing to pay the price for
them.

Breitmeyer 's had a large wedding
decoration at Grace church last week,
requiring several hundred yellow and
white mums, as well as a number of lilies
and cosmos. The pillars in the church
were banked up with autumn foliage
and Bostons. Down the center aisle,
fastened to the pews, were large bunches
of yellow mums representing torches,
the whole making an elaborate effect.

The Market

Chrysanthemums, of course, are in
heavy supply, and little real improve-
ment in cut flower conditions is to be
looked for until they arrive in decreased
volume. There are too many whites ar-
riving; pink, as usual, sells the best,
yellow being the next popular color.
There is no great change in prices to be
recorded.

Eoses are of good quality, especially
Beauty, Bichmond, Killarney, Chatenay
and Wellesley. Some of the latter have
fine stems. Brides and Bridesmaids are
extra good. Trade on all these is slow,
however, and many are cleared out at
low rates to fakers.

Carnations are abundant and com-
ing with stems something like winter
length. Bose-pink Enchantress, White
Perfection, Beacon, Victory and Octo-
roon are notably fine. The Queen con-
tinues to be largely grown as a white
by local 'florists, and is prolific. At
present whites are selling better than
colored varieties. Violets are steadily
improving and are now of fine quality
and selling somewhat better. Liliefl con-
tinue scarce, but lily of the valley is
in good supply. There are no special
changes to be noted in other flowers,
and greenery remains about the same.

Varioisi Notes.

The annual meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society for the
election of oflScers for the year 1908
will occur November 16. So far we
have heard of no contests.

Present appearances indicate a first-
class chrysanthemum exhibition Novem-
ber 8 to 10, entries having come in satis-
factorily during the last few days.

J. T. Butterworth is cutting a mag-
nificent lot of Cattleya labiata. His
Cypripedium insigne also are coming
in season and are carrying thousands of
flowers.

McCarthy & Co. will start their an-
nual fall plant auctions November 6
and 8.

A few single chrysanthemums are
seen at the stores, and some nice pom-
pons. There are good openings for

The most beautiful as well as the most useful Fern ever offered.

PHILADBLPHIA.

The Rising Eastera Market.

Conditions are rather depressing this
week. With Thursday and Friday quiet,
a rainy Saturday prevented that clear-
ing up that gives tone to the market
at the opening of the new week. Mon-
day found the wholesale houses loaded
down with fresh and left-over flowers, and
with an unusually light demand. Tues-
day, being election day, was but little
better. The result will be lower average
returns.

Some really fine chrysanthemums
have made their appearance, yellow and
white Eaton being conspicuous. Maud
Dean has strengthened the pinks, while
there are several other good sorts in all
three colors. The medium grades are
plentiful and, while they are in demand,
the buyers have been complaining that
there is not enough fancy stock at times
to meet requirements. Boses, barring
only American Beauties, have been en-
tirely too plentiful, with many sales at
low prices for quantity. Carnations have
fared rather , better, some choice stock
in fancies and in white realizing good

prices. Hudson river violets have made
their appearance, but there is no spe-
cial demand for violets of any kind
just now. Orchids are rather less plenti-
ful, cattleyas having decreased in quan-
tity, and the other varieties have never
been plentiful enough to exceed the de-
mand. Pompon and single chrysanthe-
mums are meeting with favor. There
are a few nice sweet peas. The demand
for autumn foliage is so strong as ta
suggest the wisdom of husbanding in-
door greens for the days oncoming.

A comparison with the same period
of last year shows that the market then
passed through a depressing period dur-
ing the first week in November.

The Coming Season.

It may be of interest to florists to
know that the coming season is an ex-
ceptionally long one, stretching from
Thanksgiving day, November 28, to Ash
Wednesday, March 4. Easter will fall
on April 19. Christmas and New Year's
come on Wednesday^

Various Notes.

Victor Groshens, of Roslyn, is ship-
ning the entire cut of his new place,
planted with Brides, Bridesmaids and
Richmond roses, to the Leo Niessen Co.

The Whilldin Pottery Co. states that
there is no likelihood of its making an
advance of ten per cent in the price of
flower pots.

Pennock Bros, have an exquisite win-
dow this week, arranged with pompon
chrysanthemums, chiefly yellows and
browns, in baskets of all sizes, with
foliage on a green satin groundwork.

THE DEATH ROLL.

WilUam Kiefaber.

The death of William Kiefaber, Sr.,
which occurred at his home in Dayton,
O., Wednesday, October 30, will T>b a
great shock to his many friends in the
trade. Mr. Eaefaber was in bis usual
health Monday morning, as he went to
his business with the Miami Floral Co.,
of which he was vice-president and mana-
ger. At 10:30 a. m., just as he was
preparing to return to the city, he was
suddenly stricken with apoplexy. Mr.
Kiefaber realized that he had received a
stroke, and requested that a doctor be
called at once. A few seconds later he
lost consciousness, which he never re-
gained.

Mr. Kiefaber was one of Dayton 's best
and most widely known business men.
He was born in Philadelphia, May 22,
1843, and after a few years removed to
Mt. Joy, Pa., in Lancaster county. From
that place he removed to Dayton, in
1857. When the civil war broke out he
joined Company A, of the First Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, and served for three
years. It was during this memorable
period that he was captured in Knox-
ville and kept a prisoner for eight months
in the Smoky Mountains of North Caro-
lina. Later he was captured by a guer-
rilla band and held till the close of the
war.

Returning to Dayton, he entered into
the life of the place with vigor and
earnestness, adding much to the prog-
ress of the city. In July, 1902, he
opened the business of the Miami Floral
Co., which is now one of the largest and
most modem of its kind in that section
of the state. Mr. Kiefaber has a large
circle of friends who will greatly miss
him. This was proven by the abundance
of costly floral tributes, which were pos-
sibly more numerous than has ever been
seen at one funeral in Dayton.

Hugh Chesney.

Hugh Chesney died at his home in
Farmington, Conn., October 18, of ty-
phoid pneumonia, after a short illness.
Mr. Chesney was bom in Newton Stew-
art, Scotland, in 1858, and came to
America at the age of 16. He learned

Business is steadily improving. Roses
and carnations are looming up finely,
with plenty of chrysanthemums, which
sell at $1 to $5 per dozen.

Mr. Miller, who is in charge of the

The regular meeting of the North

November 1, President McGregor in the
chair. The report of the show commit-
tee for the current year was read and ac-
cepted. A certificate of merit was
awarded to Eric Wetterlow for a dis-
play of pompon and anemone-flowered
chrysanthemums. James Salter had on
exhibition several fine seedling anemone-
flowered varieties, one lavender-colored
flower being of especial merit, for which
the society awarded him a special prize.

The subject for discussion was nitro-
culture, being opened by William Till.
Samples of the culture were used to illus-
trate remarks by the speaker. Cultures
in liquid form were furnished by the
Department of Agriculture, and cultures
dried on cotton were furnished by

SWEET PEAS OUTDOORS.

I am now preparing my trenches to
plant sweet peas in early spring, and
wish to fill them with rich compost.
Will the old soil that I used to grow
carnations in last winter be all right
to use for that purpose? A. K. W.

Soil in which carnations have been
growing aJl winter must be pretty well
exhausted and hardly what can be rec-
ommended for sweet peas, which prefer
a moderately heavy soil, one inclined to
be clayey being excellent. Good sweet
peas are, however, grown in quite light
and sandy soil if the ground is well
manured and the plants mulched in sum-
mer. Fresh loam from a pasture would
be better than your carnation soil. Add
plenty of well-rotted cow manure to it
and get your seed in as soon as frost
leaves the ground in the spring. If you
hav« no other soil at hand, mix one-
third cow manure to two-thirds carna-
tion compost and put in the trenches.
The land between .the trenches should
also be well turned over and enriched,
as the roots will run quite a distance
beyond the trenches. C. W.

CUTTINGS OF nCUS ELASTICA.

Will you kindly tell me how to make
cuttings of Ficus elastica? I have a
plant with about seventeen shoots. Is it
best to make them when dormant?

O. H. C.

The surest method by which to root
Ficus elastica is topping or mossing, as
it is variously known. This operation
has been described in the Review before,
but is briefly as follows: Cut halfway
through the shoot to be rooted, making
the incision about four leaves from the
top. Then bind enough damp moss
around the cut to make a lump about the
size of a hen's egg. Keep the moss con-
tinuously moist and the plant in a tem-
perature of not less than 60 degrees, and
with these conditions fulfilled there is
seldom any trouble in rooting the cut-
tings in from three to six weeks.

As soon as the roots show through the
moss, the shoot may be cut off below
the moss and potted in a 3-inch or 4-

FLOWER FOR NAME.

Under separate cover I have today
mailed you a flower which I would like
named. This is a native of Mexico,
which I have succeeded in growing suc-
cessfully, both outside and inside. I
think it is one of the helichrysums.

J. J. C.

The flowers are of a helichrysum, but
we cannot say what particular sort.
Most of these are received from Ger-
many in seed packets of six to twelve
colors. Helichrysums, with other ever-
lastings, such as rhodanthes and acro-
cliniums, are natives of Australia and
Africa, but have probably become ac-
climatized in Mexico. They are all use-
ful garden annuals. Rhodanthe Man-
glesii makes a specially good pot plant
and is considerably grown for market
in Europe. C. W.

The French seeds are already arriving
at New York, earlier tiian last year.

If anything in the line of seeds is really
low in price, most seedsmen have failed to
notice it. *

Two boats, in :^rom France, November
1, landed 4,300 bags of peas and 700
bags of beans.

When all the returns from the bean
fields are in, the crop estimators will real-
ize how far out their figures were.

The pea crops are about all in and
those who ordinarily have plenty at this
season of the year are about all out.

On the boat from Marseilles, reaching
New York November 1, R. M. Ward &
Co. and Schulz & Ruekgaber each had
twenty-nine cases of French bulbs.

Vilmorin, Andrieux & Co., Paris, France;
Joe L. IJllathorne, of XJUathorne Seed
Co., Memphis, Tenn. ; H. W. Buckbee,
Rockford, 111.

The Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, has
just completed another greenhouse 185
feet long. This makes a total of thirty-
two greenhouses, which are devoted al-
most exclusively to growing plants for
the mail order trade.

The Herman Glass Seed Co.,
Rochester, N. Y., dealers in seeds and
implements, has recently let the contract
for a new feed mill and implement ware-
house, 40x80 feet, and will push the im-
plement end of the business.

The onion set market remains firm at
Chicago. The unusual skirmish to secure
what sets were available for fall sale
helped out considerably. The shortage in
the crop is now known to be actual and
not trumped up for effect, as was sus-
•pected by the doubters. This leaves the
field open for legitimate trade and as-
sures a steadily rising price until the
end of the selling season.

From the wholesalers' standpoint, the
old story about the seed traveler who used
to wire to his customer that he would be
passing through the town on the limited,
and that he would accept an order con-
ditionally if the customer would hand it
to the porter, nearly represents the way
things are at present. It does seem as
though the buyer of seeds is seeking for
the seller, and not the reverse, as is nor-
mally the case. When the retailer gets
his turn it is to be hoped that he will find
as easy sledding.

M. Herb, Naples, Italy, sends out a
long list, printed in three languages, of
novelties for 1908. Among them are
Echeveria imbricata, with a long suc-
cession of waxy carmine flowers; Helian-
thus cucumerifolius plumosus. the little
flowers of the disk changed to small
feathers; Ipomoea purpurea flore pleno
striata, a morning-glory resembling a
gay tassel ; Myosotis dissitiflora Elf riede.
good for forcing and cutting; several
other variations of popular strains in
flower seeds, and a new mild pepper
called Spanish Bull.

Some sorts are high now. A jobbing price

that the high price asked by the man who

lessening the financial stringency.

THE CHICAGO PICKLE CASE.

At various times in the last two years
the Review has had occasion to refer
to what has been called the Chicago
pickle non-warranty case, which has now
developed into a suit against H. W.
Buckbee in the United States circuit
court at Freeport, 111. In brief, the his-
tory of the case is as follows:

October 17, 1903, H. W. Buckbee, of
Rockford, 111., entered into a contract
with P. Hohenadle, Jr., & Co., of Janes-
ville. Wis., for the sale to Hohenadle
& Co. of a quantity of seeds, among
others being 300 pounds of cucumber
seed known as Chicago Pickle, to be
delivered f. 0. b. Rockford. October 23,
1903, the same parties entered into an-
other contract for the sale to Hohenadle
& Co. of 3,500 pounds of cucumber seed
known as Improved Chicago Pickle, The
seeds were delivered in ample time ac-
cording to the terms of the contract
and it is claimed by Hohenadle & Co.
that the growth of the seeds developed
a diflferent variety of cucumber and of
less value.

These seeds were sold by Hohenadle &
Co. to various parties over the country,
some of them under contract to grow
cucumbers for Hohenadle & Co. It is
claimed that a quantity of these seeds
were sold to one Philip A. Marsh, who in
turn sold them to one F. H. Swett
and A. W. Todd, copartners as F. H.
Swett & Co. Some time after this Swett
& Co. brought a suit, in the circuit court
of Cook County, against Philip A. Marsh,
possibly for the purpose of recovering
a judgment against Marsh and giving
Marsh an action over against Buckbee,

as is alleged by Buckbee's attorney. No-
tice was served by Marsh on Hohenadle
&, Co. to appear and defend the suit,
who in turn served notice on Buck-
bee, Buckbee ignored the notice and
the matter was heard before Judge
Honore, without the intervention of a
jury, July 12, 1906. After the hearing,
the court took the case under advisement
and held it until the November fol-
lowing, when he found for the defendant
and dismissed the case, holding that
there was no warranty and no liability.
This, too, was without any real defense,
as it is a generally accepted fact, as
claimed by Buckbee, that there was a
collusion between Swett, Marsh and Ho-
henadle to practically let the suit go by
default and lay a foundation for an
action against Buckbee for damages.

After this suit was disposed of the
parties were not satisfied, but, although
they had taken appealing orders from
the decision of Judge Honore, they failed
to perfect their appeal. However, at
the April term, 1907, Hohenadle & Co.
commenced suit in the United States
circuit court in Chicago against Buck-
bee for $22,900, claiming that the seeds
sold to them by Buckbee were warranted
to be Improved Chicago Pickle and were

on account of their being another and
different variety, they suffered damages
amounting to $22,900. Buckbee appear-
ed by attorney and interposed a plea
to the jurisdiction of the court. This
plea was sustained by Judge Landis,
since of Standard Oil fame, and the
suit was dismissed.

At the October term, 1907, Hohenadle
& Co. again commenced suit in the United
States circuit court at Freeport, HI.,
and this suit is now pending.

CABBAGE NOVELTIES.

Among this season's novelties in the
«eed line, Sluis & Grott, Enkhuizen, Hol-
land, have two new cabbages. Zenith is
a red cabbage which the firm considers
an improvement upon all existing sorts.
It is a half-early variety, making few
leaves in proportion to the very solid
heads. It is thin-ribbed, of medium size
and exceedingly dark red in color. They
say they have no doubt this sort will
soon be a standard. Enkhuizen 's Glory
IS a new white cabbage of large size and
early, coming in as early as Early Flat

VARIEGATED NASTURTIUMS.

There is every likelihood of the new
variegated-leaved nasturtiums becoming
extremely popular in gardens, writes a
seedsman in an English contemporary.
I have given both the American and
English introductions a trial, and cer-
tainly they are worth pushing. Eyburgh
Perfection is very effective, as the bril-
liant flowers show up well against the
foliage, more so than Queen of Tom
Thumbs and Crystal Queen. Wherever
I have shown them they have caused
much comment, and that generally nveans
business.

ERFURT SEED TRADE.

At this writing, October 20, it is pos-
sible to overlook the whole of our seed
crop for 1907, with only a few small
exceptions, which, however, do not count.

In general our growers have been sat-
isfied with the weather lately, as it has
made up for a good many rainy and
cool days which we had to contend with
last summer. September, except for a
few wet and cool days and one rather
severe night-frost on the 23rd, was very
sunny and fine, and October has given
us, up to the present, very bright and
fine days indeed.

On the morning after the above-men-
tioned frost, all the growers of cauli-
flower seed, which is a great special line
in Erfurt, were as busy as bees, erecting
temporary stages over their cauliflower
beds to enable them to protect the plants
over night with canvas mats, boards or
any other suitable material; but this
one frost proved quite hard enough to
do some damage to the maturing seed.

Although this frost was rather rough
on a good many different plants, in full
))loom just then, it was surprising to no-
tice how well a lot of them pulled round
again. Dahlias, for instance, got over

New Close-Clinging Hardy Climber

AMPELOPSIS LOWIl

This beautiful novelty was obtained from seed raised from Ampelopsls Veitchli.
The older leaves in summer are of a dark metallic green, brightening to a fresh apple
green toward the extremities, and changing with the season to a warm tint in autumn.

In size the leaves are rmall, beautifully dentate, and the edges, being prettily crimped,
give a very pleasing effect to the eye, when the plant is growing on a wall or rambling over
a pillar, column or an old tree stump.

This charming novelty clings closely 'and, growing as it does, rapidly, speedily covers,
although the individual growths are so ' lacey" in appearance.

this very soon and at present are showing
up splendidly. Our beautiful October
sun brings them out to their fullest
splendor and they are drawing the at-
tention of all passers-by, be they all
lovers of flowers or not. The same can
be said of our autumn asters, herba-
ceous asters of all descriptions, which
are gaining in favor every year, and no
doubt they deserve it. In a special note
I will mention a smart little show, which
on last Sunday, October 13, was arranged
here in Erfurt by a number of our
foremost growers of herbaceous plants.
It presented autumn asters of all vari-
eties, among them a few very note-
worthy novelties.

In the following lines I am giving
an account of this season's seed crop and
will begin with the vegetables.

The seed crop of cucumbers, melons,
vegetable marrows and beans is inferior;
peas are good and medium; radishes
good; onions, leek and lettuce bad, or
at best only medium; turnips and celery
are bad; carrots and borecole medium;
kohlrabi and brussels sprouts bad; savoy,
red and white cabbage and cauliflowers
only medium.

Concerning the flower seed it must
be said that the crop of tropajolum,
tagetes, silene, senecio, schizanthus,
scabiosa, salvia and xeranthemum is
only medium; zinnia, verbena and salpi-
glossis are bad ; Viola tricolor maxima
and Viola cornuta good and medium;
mignonette, portulaca, phlox and petu-
nia medium ; papaver is good ; myosotis.

WORTH ATTENTION.

Under the above heading, F. C. Heine-
mann, the well-known seed grower at
Erfurt, Germany, says:

"Many novelties are bought and cul-
tivated for the sake of obtaining some
Belf-grown seed. But in most cases the
necessary care and pains are omitted,
and instead of improving from year to
year, a beautiful variety may degenerate
more and more, so that the raiser will
scarcely recognize it as grown after his
original stock. Though a plant may
come quite true from seed under the
hands of those who raised it, yet there
are many circumstances and diflSculties
to prevent others from doing as well with
the same seed. It is therefore advisable
not to use the second-hand, but the
original seed."

ONION SETS AT LOUISVILLE.

ville says sharp advances each week have

barrels Yellow stock delivered to ship-
pers and Whites are $7.50 and better.

Shippers* are actively working the
stock and many January delivery orders
are being booked on a basis of $2 a
bushel.

It is estimated that nearly half of this
year's approximated crop of 150,000
bushels has already been shipped or tied
up for future delivery and most of the
shippers figure that nearly two-thirds of
the supply is now out of the hands of
the growers.

During the past week the flurry in
Wall street circles influenced a number
of growers with liberal home holdings to
let go of their supply at the unprece-
dented high prices now being paid. How-
ever, the bulk of the growers ' supply re-
maining is controlled by strong men
financially. The 4 cents per pound and
better paying price for Yellows is not
attractive to many of those with means,
who have sets, but many of these grow-

AUGUST JURGENS,

184-144 Herndon St., Chicaf^o, 111.

ers say they will let go if the price
reaches 5 cents a pound or $8 a barrel.

The market records show that onion
set values at this same time last year
were fully one-third lower than they are
at the present time. Some of the more
bullish dealers anticipate a $2 a bushel
marl^et early in December. H. R. White-
side, the largest operator, says that in
his opinion the situation has resolved it-
self into just how high sets can go and
still be used. ' ' I believe firmly, ' ' said
he, ' ' that the deal will close at a higher
figure than they have sold for in ten
years. On March 1, 1906, they were
bringing $3.25 per 32-pound bushel, or
$16.25 a barrel. Now the indications
are they will be worth more than that
long before planting time. Chicago and
other producing points are already draw-
ing large immediate shipments from this
district and the demand for future and
prompt deliveries was never so great at
this particular time in any previous sea-
son, and undoubtedly more sets will be
planted next spring by onion producers
than ever before. To me it certainly
looks like a record breaker."

The Packer says the Whiteside con-
cern is doing a large business in sets
this season; in fact, they have led the
van in taking on the supply since the
movement began. It is conceded that
they have handled the major portion of
the crop so far. Large and small future
deUvery orders are being booked and
their shipping has averaged a car of sets
a day since the season opened. The
more conservative ones in the trade say
it is dangerous to advance prices so rap-
idly. However, if the distributors and
customers must have them, the sets are
here and will be delivered.

The Louisville crop of Yellows as a
whole is good this season; they were
never better, small in size, very few
picklers among them and the keeping
quality excellent. While the Whites have
shown a bit more than the usual shrink-
age, the dealers say, they will hold up
until spring without further loss. Thosa
who have been over the ground say the
bulk of the Whites has already been se-
cured by the dealers. Heavy buyers from
all parts of the country have been on
the ground contracting for carlots. At
Jefferson, the principal table onion grow-
ing point, nearly all the sets have been
marketed. It is said considerable of the
remaining supply will be held by the
growers for planting purposes. The
other principal nearby growing -4istricts
are St. Mathews, along the Bar^Stown
Pike and Eighteenth street withia^and
outside of the city limits.

Pickle onions are very scarce and
growers are receiving around $7 a barrel.
Onion seed is in demand. The market
this week is white $1.25 a pound, yellow
90 cents, Yellow Danvors $1.10.

DON'T LOSE IT.

You may have a little surplus stock
in some line — not much, perhaps, but
enough to cut quite a hole in the profit
made on the whole lot if this little sur-
plus is lost. But it isn't necessary to
lose it. Nearly always there is someone,
somewhere, who needs just that little
batch of plants. You can reach that
someone, everywhere, through a classi-
fied advertisement in the Review, at a
cost of 10 cents a line. Frequently a
30-cent advertisement will sell $30, $60
or more of stock, depending on its sea-
sonableness and abundance. Everyone
reads the Review's classified ads. Don't
let the little surplus go to waste.

"PLEASE SEND THE REVIEW."

The Eeview finds much encouragement
in the receipt of letters like the follow-
ing from a florist at South Framingham,
Mass. :

"Please send the Eeview to

, South Framingham, Mass., for

which I enclose his dollar. The Review
is all right, as is shown by my advising

Mr. to take it in preference to

three others. ' '

But what interests the publisher is
that the Review is all right enough for
a subscriber to take it upon himself to
take a friend's money and mail it in,
simply because he thinks the friend will
profit by having the Review; it must
be all right, sure enough.

The Review frequently receives such
courtesies at the hands of its readers,
for which it not only returns thanks but
promises to provide an increasingly in-
teresting paper.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

NOVBMBBB 7, 1907.

PACIFIC COAST.

Newberg, Ore. — Thomas E. Miles
says the prospect for a good winter's
business was never so good as it is this
year. He added a carnation house dur-
ing the summer.

PORTLAND, ORE.

State of Ttade.

Trade has developed to a point
where a good opinion is expressed by
everybody. All the downtown stores en-
joyed an exceptionally brisk month, Octo-
ber beating all previous records. There
has been a continuous demand for funer-
al work, in some cases the orders call-
ing for quite extensive arrangements.
Never were we blessed at this season
with weather so helpful to the growers.
It ha? put vigor into everything under

flass, and stock is showing up in fine
orm. Carnations have probably made
the best growth and Enchantress is mon-
arch of them all. Violets are now be-
ing picked in sufficient quantity to meet
all demands.

Chrysanthemums are doing nobly and
we would not hesitate to match them
iwith any in the country. The Oregon
climate is admirably suited to their cul-
ture, and we have them perfectly formed,
with quality of the highest.

Dahlias have paid better this year
than any time heretofore, and we hope
to see them grown more extensively fin-
other season. We must also speak of
the beautiful cosmos, which has created
so much admiration this fall and has
sold well, too. The early rains pro-
moted a tremendous growth, the flowers
being unusually large and perfect.

We wish to compliment the stores on
their decorative displays, and we hope
that nothing may happen to mar the
prospeefs of a good winter trade.

H. J. M.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Although the stringency in the money
market is noticed in San Francisco as
much as elsewhere, and general business
depression has visited our city on its
regular rounds, the florists have not
complained. Business is as good as it
was at this time last year and up to the
^ mark of former years; so we have no
fault to find.

Flowers are plentiful and the weather
is favorable for them at present. The
first of the new crops of roses are mak-
ing their appearance and are being well
used up by the retailers. Carnations are
quite plentiful and remain at the same
prices they have for the last few weeks.
Violets are much better and the long,
cool nights have made quite an improve-
ment on them, both in quality and quan-
tity. The Prineess of Wales are being
sold to the dealers at 75 cents per dozen
bunches.

Mums are at the height of their sea-
son and the price of outdoor stock is
away down. Indoor flowers are cheaper
than they were a year ago, but they
move well and the growers are not losing
any stock.

Valley and Romans are in good sup-
ply and are in better demand than a
couple of weeks ago. Narcissi are seen
in small lots. Sweet peas and other

in quantity, should place orders with us now. Remember, our
wood is all taken from healthy plants growing in the field. Also,
if you handle field-grown roses on own roots, don't fail to get
our RKO list at once, as sales are very heavy. :: :: ::

to the fact that the holidays will soon

Variotu Notes.

J. D. Morris has gone on a trip to
Portland, Ore., and will be absent from
town for a couple of weeks.

The American Florists are well estab-
lished in their Polk street store and
their windows are among the showiest
in that locality.

P. J. Meyer & Co., of Burlingame,
have several houses of roses in splendid
shape for a heavy cutting in the near
future. Half a dozen large houses are
devoted to carnations and these are in
tip-top condition at this time.

The Christmas tree men have made
their appearance in town, with the usual
inducements to florists to handle their
wares.

The Chinese growers are complaining
that the low prices at present received
for their goods will force many of them
into other lines of business next sea-

TO STUDY BURBANKOLOGY.

It has been suggested that some of
the great universities either in the east
or on this coast should make a special
branch to include t'he study and con-
tinuation of the work mapped out by
Luther Burbank. It has been ascer-
tained that any movenient along the
Unes suggested would have his hearty
support and help. As a preliminary
move some time since a committee was
named to have a conference with Mr.
Burbank and hear his ideas on the sub-
ject. The members of the committee
were President David Starr Jordan, of
Stanford University; United States
Judge W. W. Morrow, Judge S. F. Lieb,
of San Jose, regent of Stanford Uni-
versity; George P. McNear, of Peta-
luma; Mayor John P. Overton, of Santa
Rosa, and Dr. Humphreys, of Stanford
University.

President Jordan is enthusiastic over

the educational features of Burbank 's
work. While nothing is definite, there
is a report that a movement may be
started looking towards the foundation
of an educational institution in which
the scientific part of Burbank 's work
will be thoroughly explained and studied.

The Carnegie Institute of Washington,
D. C, has placed at the disposal of Mr.
Burbank $10,000 per year for ten years
to enable the extension of his experi-
ments along horticultural lines. Great
strides have been made and Dr. George
H. ShuU is at Santa Eosa at present
gathering data for the" publication of a
series of scientific treatises on Burbank 's
achievements.

An exhibit of Burbank 's creations,
both in flowers and fruits, is shortly to be
placed on exhibition in the Ferry build-
ing in San Francisco and President A.
R. Briggs, of the State Board of Trade,
is enthusiastic on the proposition. These
fruits, berries and flowers will be placed
in attractive glass jars and other re-
ceptacles and it is expected that tens
of thousands of people will be enabled
to inspect what will be the best ex-
hibit of the Burbank products to be
seen anywhere. G.

The Market

Trade last week was, by some, report-
ed good. The heavy rain Saturday put
a damper on it, and naturally many
cut flowers were carried over. The week
started in clear, and cut flowers, as well
as pot plants, moved nicely. However,
I can see no reason why any complaint
van be ofifered. As a rule, our trade
has little go to waste. At present our
market is heavily stocked with chrys-
anthemums and roses. Last week the
street boys were out with thousands of
roses that were in good condition, offer-
ing bargains that were seldom passed

reach of any one wanting roses. Chrys-
anthemums almost met the same fate,
fine, large blooms selling as low as 20
cents each, and roses about 3 cents each.
Chrysanthemums are abundant and mov-
ing well, considering the large quantity
on the market. There is a* demand for
the white and yellow.

Carnations are doing nicely and com-
ing in a little more regularly. The price
is a little low yet, 1% cents, and will
remain so for a while and then will
gradually increase until the usual holiday
price is reached.

Violets, the double variety, are in fair-
ly good supply and find ready sale. The
singles are also coming in. At times
I find some society people that ob-
ject to the single violets and regret the
double is at times hard to procure.

Variouf Notes.

H. Grahl, Halethorp, Md., is cutting
some extra fine double violets and has
, a fair collection of mums.

Mrs. M. Kimmelmond, Orangeville,
Md., has a house, 35x180 feet, standing
idle that can be rented or bought; so
there is a chance there for someone.

Charles Seigwart, Station D, has a
house of carnation plants that is hard
to beat, and is cutting some choice
blooms.

Shaw Bros., Dickeyv^lle, Md., are
raising a large quantity of double and
single violets. J. L. T.

The Market.

All Souls' day was rather a disap-
pointment this year. The weather on
Friday and Saturday was bad for busi-
ness, and the growers in the flower mar-
ket, who were loaded down with small
mums and cheap flowers of all kinds for
the cemetery trade, had a hard time
in getting rid of their stock. The whole-
sale houses also found things pretty
slow; but when Sunday opened a bright,
beautiful day, business took a brace.
The wholesale houses sold out and those
flori-sts who were fortunate enough to
be located near a cemetery did a large
business. Monday found the market well
cleared out. In fact, almost everything
was sold out, with the exception of
a few roses.

Mums are going nicely, and the aver-
age price is good. Some fine stock is
being handled and the midseason vari-
eties are in full blast. Roses of all vari-
eties are in oversupply. They sell slowly,
nnd the price has dropped in consequence.
For the first time this sea.son, Beauties
are going slowly, with the supply great-

er than the demand. Of course this
is due to the mum, which makes every-
thing take a back seat. The supply of
carnations comes nearer being enough
for the demand than any time this sea-
son, but still there are none too many
and the price holds firm. Violets are
selling well, with few coming in. There
is some fine valley, but it sells slowly.
Harrisii lilies are in fair supply, with
but little demand.

Varioui Notes.

The Lampert Floral Co., of Xenia,
O., is sending some good mums to this
market.

Some good carnations are coming from
Samuel Batson, of Kalamazoo, Mich. ;
also snapdragon, which is one of Mr.
Batson 's specialties. He also grows large
quantities of Baby Primrose as a cut
flower and, as he grows it, it always finds
a ready market.

Theo. Bock, of Hamilton, <0., was a
caller. He was looking for small flowers
for All Souls', as also were J. H.
Broxey and wife, of Dayton, O. They
have a retail store in the arcade and are
doing a first-class business.

C. J. Ohmer.

IRONDEQUOIT. N. Y.

Business continues good, with prices
below normal for the grower. About
$2.50 per hundred wholesale for carna-
tions is the highest the grower has been
able to get, whereas in recent years we
have got as high as $4. They have been
selling for a good price retail for some
time, bringing as much as 60 cents and
75 cents per dozen.

In regard to new varieties of carna-
tions, my opinion is that Winsor is too
slow and much too short in stem so far
to be of value to this market. Aristo-
crat is much affected with rust and not
as good in color as Lawson. Beacon, as
I have seen it growing at H. Merritt's
place, is a grand thing; it is the best
thing on his place. He says he has been
picking good blooms from the start, and
there is a prospect of a good crop
straight along. He says this carnation
sells ahead of any other red, as it has a
good, lively color. E. B.

Indianapolis, Ind. — The next meet-

G. W. Kemp, a nurseryman of Har-
nedsville. Pa., will remove about Decem-
ber 1 to Somerset county, Maryland,
where he has purchased a large farm and
nursery.

Do NOT hesitate to cut down a tree
that is a menace to its neighbor, if it
is not worth the trouble and expense of
moving it to some other location. Bet-
ter one good tree than two poor ones.

There are two kinds of nurserymen;
one of them sells what he can and then
cuts the price on the surplus to half or
less and does not answer letters from his
first customers, who want to know where
they get off.

It may interest those who have a de-
cided preference for the variegated Irish
yew over the green, that the fornier is
the hardier of the two, in so far, at
least, that it stands the winter better
than the other.

In some places it may be a serious
matter to procure material for the win-
ter covering of everything needing it,
but there are few places where a supply
of forest leaves cannot be had, and for
many things there is no better covering
than leaves.

The wholesale nurserymen are having
the biggest season on record, for not
only is fall planting on the increase, but
as more nurserymen become equipped
with winter storage and packing facili-
ties, they want autumn delivery of such
stock as they do not grow.

The extraordinary popularity, de-
served, of course, of Clematis paniculata,
has had a good deal to dp with the neg-
lect of C. Flammula. When we consider
how serviceable it is, coming into bloom
so much earlier than the other, we may
well wonder that more of it is not grown
than there is.

Bebberis Wilsonae, exhibited by
Veitch & Son, has been given a first-
class certificate by the Eoyal Horticul-
tural Society of England. It is a dwarf,
shrubby species from central China, with
rather pretty glaucous foliage, but the
attraction is the bright coral fruit with
which the twigs are studded in compact
little bimches. It is said it wiU make
an admirable plant for the rock garden.

A GOOD way of protecting figs grow-
ing outdoors from the severity of the
northern winters is by partially under-
mining the trees by excavating the soil
at one side and then bending the wood
down and covering it all well with the
soil removed in the digging. This is,
perhaps, in more ways than one, better
than digging up the trees entirely and
covering them up elsewhere, indoors or
out.

THE ROSE GARDEN.

A garden nowadays without roses is
hardly considered a garden at all, if the
phrase is permissible. Beautiful and
charming as roses undoubtedly are, one
drawback to their cultivation in close
proximity to dwellings is the fact that
during most of the time when not in
tiower they have anything but a decora-
tive appearance. Besides, the care and
treatment necessary to produce roses to
perfection, along with the mussing and
fussing inseparable therefrom, maJie it
almost imperative that they be grown
by themselves and at some little distance
from the dweUing. The rose garden
should not, however, be situated where
the plants would suffer from the heavy
shade of trees or from the detrimental
action of the tree roots on the soil in
which the roses grow. Eeasonable shel-
ter, on the other hand, is an 'advantage
tor a rose garden.

The nature of the soil and drainage,
or the facilities available for providing
suitable soil and means of drainage, are
important considerations. Roses suc-
ceed best in rich, deep and somewhat
^^^ soil, free from moisture of any-
thing like a stagnant nature. Heavy
clay soil or soil of a light, gravelly na-
ture is unfavorable to the wellbeing of

DISEASE OF LETTUCE.

Prof. George E. Stone, of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College, writes as
follows in the last annual report :

Our attention has been called 9t differ-
ent times to an undescribed bacterial
disease of lettuce, which is reported as
causing considerable damage in some lo-
calities. This disease has been observed
in our greenhouse for many' years, and
during the year 1901 Percival C. Brooks,
then a member of the senior class in
botany, investigated this problem. He
succeeded in isolating an organism from
a diseased lettuce plant, and obtained
positive results from his inoculation ex-
periments with healthy plants.

The disease in question has never been
observed by us in this state except in
our own house, notwithstanding the fact
that we have for many years had oc-
casion to carefully study the various let-
tuce crops in the state, and have con-
stantly been on the lookout for it.
Neither has careful inquiry brought to
light any trace of a similar affection in
lettuce houses in Massachusetts. Since
the disease occurred in our lettuce house
on crops which had been forced too rapid-
ly, it was considered of little consequence
and was given scarcely any attention, in-
asmuch as we thought the trouble arose
from improper management of the crop.
Our only reason for calling attention to
this disease at the present time is that
it iff reported as doing considerable dam-
age elsewhere, particularly in the south,
which makes it desirable that we should
be on the lookout for it. The disease
results in the appearance of numerous
small brownish spots about the size of
a pin-head on the young and tender
light-colored leaves of the head. The
spots are frequently quite numerous, and
in some cases run together, causing a
destructioh of a portion of the leaves
of the head. No attempt was made by
Mr. Brooks to make any extensive study
of the organisms causing the disease,
since at that time it was believed to be
of little consequence, and only an accom-
paniment of too rapid forcing. In some
localities, particularly farther south, we
hear different reports concerning its
prevalence.

We are comparatively new in the busi-
ness and some of our best work has been
done by following the advice given in
the Review. — F. D. Hartshorn, Augus-
ta, Ma.

TIME TO PLANT LILIUMS.

When is the proper time to plant
Lilium auratum, L. speciosum album, L.
speciosum melpomene and L. speciosum
rubrum? When is the earliest they can
be planted? Can they be forced to
bloom during the winter? How should
they be cultivated! H. J. H.

Lilium auratum and the various forms
of L. speciosum are best planted out-
doors as soon as the bulbs arrive from
Japan, usually early in November.
Plant them nine to ten inches deep.
Place some sand below and on top of
the bulbs and cover with leaves or
meadow hay after the ground freezes.

Both lilies may be had in flower for
Christmas if retarded bulbs are potted
about the end of July. Keep th*m in a
shed until they start to sprout; then re-
move them to a cool house. Some forcing
can be done if the plants need hurry-

It is a very quick grower, producing an abundance of flowering shoots from the start, and has no tendency
to split its calyx. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per lOOO. Usual discount on larger orders. Get

CLEVELAND.

The Market

Business last week was a trifle slow,
and with midseason mums in full blast,
as well as a falling off in funeral work,
some stock found its way to the street
faker, which is rather unusual at this
time of the year. Carnations, mums and
violets have sold fairly well, with roses
going begging. .

Eastern double violets have made their
appearance and are of fine quality. The
Gov. Herrick single violet is also mak-
ing a good showing for so early.

Various Notes.

The Ohio Floral Co., which has here-
tofore been disposing of its entire cut
to Knoble Bros., of West Twenty-fifth
street, opened a wholesale and retail
store in the Majestic Theater building
November 3. Mr. Coutemariehe, the well-
known decorator and store man, is man-
ager of the new store. \

J. M. Gasser is still at Mount Clemens,
Mich., where he has been foV the last
month, regaining his health.

Adam Graham, Jr., is running for
mayor of East Cleveland, and we all
hope that he may be successful in his
political venture. \ »

The F. R. Williams Co. has been send-
ing in some fine mums.

W, A. Calhoun has erected four new
houses of the King construction type,
which fill a long felt want in his increas-
ing retail trade.

C. M. Wagner has been showing some
fine windows in his new store on Euclid
avenue.

John Blechschmid has a fine lot of
carnations this season. One house of
enchantress is extra good.

Visitors: B. Eschner, of M. Rice &
Co.; Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co.; R. Mellen, of Ravenna, O.

B.

Medicine' Hat, Can. — The Roseries
Co., which selected this place as the site
for extensive greenhouses, was led to that
choice chiefly by the mildness of the
winters here and by the cheap supply
of natural gas for fuel. The company
has now nearly completed three houses,
each 20x300 feet, besides a boiler-house
and oflSce, and expects to spend $50,000
in the enterprise the first year. It is the
intention eventually to cover five acres
with buildings, so as to supply roses to
the retail florists in Assiniboia and the
three neighboring provinces. The capital
for the undertaking comes largely from
Winnipeg and Calgary.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

One looking into the flower shops would
have thought from the amount of stock
in sight, and the extent of the store dec-
orations, that business was booming. But
when you asked the man he usually said
things are quiet. This is Horse Show
week, and we expected a rush, but it has
not yet materialized. This was a com-
mon complaint. However, there was a
fair amount of business done in a small
way. Chrysanthemums are catching on,
but not at fancy prices. The m^ium
priced stock is the only thing wanted.
Beauties and lilies, which have been plen-
tiful, are not in the usual demand.

Various Notes.

Eandolph & McClements have had some
large decorations, among them several for
Hallowe'en, in which autumn leaves,
witches, pumpkin-head and other spookish
things formed a part.

Mrs. E. A. "Williams took care of a
number of social affairs last week, includ-
ing several dinner decorations in connec-
tion with the horse show.

H. L. Blind & Bros, had several wed-
dings and cleaned up a lot of mums last
week. ' •

The Zieger Co., although the shop is
not completed and the force is working
under diflBculties, is picking out some of
the good jobs.

E. C. Ludwig had several strenuous
days with funeral work during the week,
although the general market trade was
not up to the mark.

There was lots of stock of all kinds in
the wholesale houses last week. Even car-
nations were more plentiful and the rain
all day Saturday did not help them to
clean up to any great extent. There was
still good stock on hand Saturday night.
Lilies and Beauties were more plentiful
and prices all along the line were pretty
cheap. Hoo-Hoo.

Brooklyn, N. Y. — D. H. Hollings-
worth completed last month a prosperous
first year of business at 1146 De Kalb
avenue. Mr. Hollingsworth 's main es-
tablishment is located at Seabright, N.
J., and he recently started a nursery at
Eatonville, N. J., where landscape gar-
dening is made a specialty.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market

Eoses are more plentiful and improv-
ing in quality. Bridesmaids are per-
haps not up to the standard, but Ameri-
can Beauties are very good. Chrysan-
themums are more than enough to go
around and are selling cheap. One
grower is bringing them in by the
wagon-load and is selling them, good
big ones, at 6 cents to 8 cents each.
This market never had so many mums
as it has this year. Carnations are
still scarce, but the plants are in good
shape and there is a good outlook for
the Christmas crop. Violets are -small
and, not plentiful./ Green is abundant
at present.

Variotti Notes.

G. M. Kellogg is showing some fine-
Minnehaha roses at present. They have
excellent stems and prices are the same
as for American Beauties.

Mr. Freudenthal 's .window attracted
much attention last week. It was gor-
geously filled with mums and made a
grand show for Twelfth street pedes-
trians.

The People's Floral Co., on Walnut
street, is doing a good business. It
has a neat and clean store and is in
one of the best locations. Emil Eiche-
nauer is head clerk and also the floral
designjer.

The Alpha Floral Co. is doing a rush-
ing business in ferns this fall, selling
75-cent ferns for 35 cents. This is
one way of bringing customers to the
store. The show window is well filled
with flowers in season. The company
also has bought a new top wagon, each
side of which is decorated with a large
bunch of American Beauty roses. The
wagon is a good advertisement for the
store. The Alpha Floral Co. also does a
large business, in goldfish.

There is a rumor that there will soon
be a large wholesale and commission
store started here. Stockholders with
plenty of money is all that is needed
at present to complete the work. The
present condition of the country may
delay this project. W. H. H.

INDIANAPOLIS.

Current Comment.

We have experienced our first cloudy
weather this fall. During the last week
the suji has only shone about four hours,
("arnations and' roses show the effects of
it, the supply V)eing considerably short-
ened. Mums, of course, hold the field
and there is an abundance of all grades
and colors.

Kd Brown, of Shelbyville, was in the
city this week and reports business good
in his town.

F. A. Conway has saved 115 pounds of
seed from his 'fine white aster. He has
named it Conway's Seedling (Jhrysanthe-
niuni-riowering White Branching Aster;
it's a mouthful, but with every pound
of seed you buy he semis directions how
to pronounce the name quickly. All the
store men pronounce this flower as being
something choice and Mr. Conway is to
be congratulated on his success.

There will be plenty of bulbous stock
here this season, as every florist has
bulbs by the tens of thousands.

Baur & Smith are proud of the record
their carnation May had for the month
of October. Off a bed of l.-oOO plants
they cut over 2,700 blooms and the aver-
age is still good. S.

BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO.

Poole & Purllant, who established their
business here January 1, 1901, have sold
out to R. S. McMuiray. The partner-
ship has not been dissolved and, after a
rest, the firm will decide upon a location
and make a fresh start. In the mean-
time 8. F. Purllant is visiting his
parents at Stamford, England, whom he
has not seen in sixteen years. Thomas
A. Poole has recently returned from a
trip to th? Jamestown exposition, hav-
ing on the way stopped to investigate
several business chances. The firm did
well here and sold out a prosperous busi-
ness. .\n e(pial success is likely to fol-
low in a larger town.

Attica, Ixd. — Manager Cheak, of the
Attica P^lorists' Co., a comparatively new
concern, says everything promises pros-
perity. There are two houses, with a
general stock in good condition.

Current Comment.

Trade is about as usual, with a fairly
good supply of flowers on hand. Car-
nations are doing finely and are throw-
ing up lots of buds for future bloom.
They are bringing from 35 to 50 cents
per dozen retail. Some nice Winsor car-
nations are now coming in. This is a
grand variety.

Alice Byron and other midseason vari-
eties of mums are now in full bloom.
They are bringing from $1 to $2 per
dozen retail. There will be quite a few
Jeanne Nonin and other late varieties
for Thanksgiving day. Nonin is a great
favorite in this section.

Roses are now coming in of good
quality. They bring $1.50 per dozen
retail. Violets are going rather slowly
just now; 50 cents to $1 per hundred
retail is the price asked.

All flowers outdoors arc now practi-
cally gone, and steady firing at nights
is now the rule.

Fred Reynolds, formerly with Nofftz,
the William street florist, has started a
flower store on Water street, at the south
end.

R. H. Woodhouse will, have some nice
mums for Thanksgiving. His carnations
are doing finely.

William Mosher, on North street, is
operating the greenhouses formerly owned
by William Kroober, who is now some-
where in Virginia.

Bulb potting is now the order of the
day. W. L.

The Market.

All Saints' day for this year is over,
but we can hardly give yet a sure opin-
ion of what has happened in the general
business among florists. Still we may
say that the quantity of good flowers
produced here has been large. Prices
were from $2 to $4 for good stock. Me-
dium, fancy under-glass stock brought
as much as $5 and $6, and extra fancy
was retailed as high as $8 and $10.
Carnations were sold from $1.25 to $2.
The quantity of mums and roses received
from Chicago must have been less than
in other years.

Designs of any kind are not the style
any more. Loose bunches only are in
demand. Artificial designs are almost
a thing of the past. Still, Jos. Schind-
ler & Co. report a good business, say-
ing that their sale of artificial designs
has been large.

Various Notes.

Abele Bros, had the best flowers they
have ever grown. Their sales compared
favorably with other seasons.

Chas. Eble is not able to say much
yet about the result of his sales, but
he disposed of all his stock.

Harry Papworth, of the Metairie Ridge
Nursery Co., seems to have sold a larger
quantity of flowers than any other flo-
rist in town. Besides his nursery on the
ridge, and his store on Carondelet street,
he has a stand at the half-way house,
in front of all the cemeteries. These,
with one stand at the St. Charles hotel,
and one at the largest department house
on Canal street, put him in a position
to offer his stock to more advantage than
any of the other large florists of the
city. Besides, he is growing the largest
part of his stock, receiving very lit-
tle from any other source. Mr. Pap-
worth says that his cash receipts were
twice as much as last year. M. M. L.

Cbown Point, Ind. — The Crown Point
Floral Co., in addition to its other im-
provements this year, is now heating
with a new set of large boilers.

Green Bay, Wis.— John Melville, a
son-in-law of F. B. Parkman, and Frank
Parkman, Jr., are preparing to start a
greenhouse on the Parkman homestead,
in the Second ward. Mr. Melville has
been employed in a greenhouse in this
city for some time.

CHICAGO.

Xbe Review printed In Its Issue of Novem-
ber 7 a full description of the arrangements and
special features, together with tlie first day's
awards, of tbe exbibltlon which opened Novem-
ber 6.

Favored by a week of ideal weather,
the sixteenth annual exhibition of the
Horticultural Society of Chicago ran its
brilliant course and came to a successful
close at midnight November 12. It was,
all things considered, the best show Chi-
cago ever has held ana that means it
was the greatest exhibition ever held in
America. Indeed, T. Mellstrom, of San-
der & Co., London and Bruges, said at
the banquet: "For many years it has
been my duty and pleasure to attend each
year the principal exhibitions held in the
principal cities of England, France and
Germany, and nowhere in the world have
I seen under one roof so great a display
of plants and cut flowers, and nowhere
so uniformly high quality. The Chicago
show is a revelation to the European. ' '

The management was especially ef-
ficient this year. It is the third time
the show has been held in the same
place and bandied by the same people.
Manager AsmuS was serene for all of
the multitudinous calls upon him and
pleased everybody. E. A. Kanst, in
charge of the secretary 's office, had every
detail down and the records up to the
minute; P. J. Hauswirth handled the
admissions with ease. The paid attend-
ance was greater than a year ago, but
not quite up to that of the first show in
the Coliseum, when it had an element of
novelty the best efforts .of the efficient
press ag^nt, James Burdett, can not hope
to supply short of the national show
next veat.

The Coliseum, which looked so big only
a couple [ of years ago, is now too small.
Even without the usueJ number of retail
booths, the floor space was crowded and
the cut flowers did not have as good a
position as the management would have
liked. Aside from the four retail dis-
plays, wjiiich were excellent and attract-
ed much attention from the thousands
of visitors, retailers were given turns at
sections in which they staged table deco-
rations not for competition. Wienhoe-
ber, Wittbold, Schnapp, Schiller and oth-
ers availed themselves of this privilege
and the tables are always a popular fea-
ture of the show.

RoK Day.

The roses were staged Thursday, No-
vember 7, and it may safely be said
that never has so fine a showing been
made in this country, either at th^ date
or a later one. The quality of all the
roses was superb, not only in advance
of the showing made last year, but so
good as to bring out comment from
those in the trade who know all about
the high quality which marks the rose
products of the Chicago market. Such
splendid Bichmond and Killarney, Maids
and Beauties made discrimination dif-
ficult for the judges. The awards were
as follows:

Twenty-five Beauty, Poehlmann Bros.

Co. first, Peter Reinberg second, H. W.
Buekbee third.

Forty Richmond or Liberty, H. W.
Buekbee first, Poehlmann Bros. Co. sec-

hibited in this country previous to this
season, E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind.,
on Princess.

Twenty-five blooms any variety not in
commerce, E. G. Hill Co. first, on Rhea
Reid.

New Roies.

Classes 66 and 67 brought out a re-
markable competition for new roses. The
first class called for twelve blooms of a
rose never exhibited in this country pre-
vious to the present season. Conspicuous
among these was Princess, exhibited by
the E. G. Hill Co., which was an easy
winner of first premium, a silver cup. It
is a seedling of Testout, of Testout color,
of enormous size, Killarney shape and
splendid substance. In the bud state it
is one of the finest things imaginable
and Fred Lemon says they expect it to
prove a splendid forcing variety. They
have had it two years. Mrs. Jardine, by
Robt. Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, Pa., was
closely examined by the growers, for
fine things are said of it by those who
have seen it at Scott's. Emil Glauber,
of Montclair, Colo., sent Alice Roosevelt,
dark pink, and Wm. Laisle, Keokuk, la.,
staged a vase of a pink named Mme.
Laisle. The E. G. Hill Co. also staged
its new rose Rhea Reid and No. 83, pink,
the former taking first premium in Class
67, for varieties not yet in commerce.

In addition there were about the hall

One hundred any other variety, Peter
Reinberg first, with Mrs. Marshall Field ;
Poehlmann Bros. Co. second, with Mrs.
Potter Palmer; Wietor Bros, third.

In this class a vase of Kaiserin en-
tered by Poehlmann Bros. Co. was dis-
qualified, but the quality was so superb
that the judges awarded it a special
premium.

Twelve blooms of a new rose not ex-

grand vases for exhibition only of Mrs
Field^ Mrs. Palmer, Princess, Mrs. Jar-
dine and Cardinal.

Carnations.

Carnations were staged November 8
and made a particularly fine showing
when it is considered that the carnations
generally are not as far forward as they
usually are at this date. Some splendid
vases were shown, not only of the new
varieties, but of the standard sorts, but
it is worth noting that there was neither
a crimson nor a yellow entry and that
there was only one entry of variegated.
The awards were as follows:

Fifty White Lawson, Poehlmann Bros.
Co. first, Anton Then second.

One hundred red, Bassett & v\[ashburn
first, with Oriand P. Bassett; Poehlmann
Bros. Co. second, with Beacon; Jensen &
Dekema third, with Defiance.

Among the new carnations the B. K.
& B. Floral Co., Richmond, Ind., staged
a fine vase of its new white, Sarah Hill,
which seems a splendid thing. It is, a
good keeper and Richmond florists who
have watched it say it is a splendid pro-
ducer. Lawson Enchantress also was ex-
hibited by this firm, neither exhibit being
for competition.

It was the practically unanimous opin-
ion that the finest vase in the show was
Bassett & Washburn's new red, Oriand
P. Bassett. In the dark pink class Aft-
erglow showed up splendidly, but was
beaten by Aristocrat, sent out last year,
and from the same originator. Defiance,
shown by Jensen & Dekema, was well
liked by the growers. White Perfection
is hard to beat, but White Enchantress,
exhibited by several, is what its name
implies and sure to be grown largely
next year. Beacon and Winsor were
shown in splendid shape.

Among seedling carnations exhibited
November 9 was Snowdrift, a fine white
from R. Witterstaetter ; Red Fisher, from
A. C. Canfield; Lucille, from F. Bahr; an
unnamed white from the Wanoka Green-
houses, Barneveld, N. Y. ; Winona, from

Dorner & Sons Co.; Defiance and Sin-
cerity, by W. N. Eudd and Jensen &
Dekema, and several seedlings \mder
number from Mount Greenwood Ceme-
tery Association. No. 1605a, among the
latter, scored 89 points and the judges
pronounced it the best thing in the seed-
ling line at this show.

• Notes.

The benefit flower booth did a big
business under the management of W. P.
Kyle, who had the assistance of H. E.
Philpott as chief salesman.

W. P. Craig and W. N. Rudd were dis-
appointed at the way the judges "scored
their pets. If the Cubs had been no more
successful than were this set of judges
at rolling up good scores, we never would
have won the world's championship.

In addition to the trade displays noted
in last week's report, W. A. Manda
brought a group of his new draceenas
from South Orange, N. J.

Among the successful features was
the voting contest on the school to re-
ceive the collection of house plants. The
efforts of the pupils to get- their friends
to attend and vote no doubt helped the
attendance materially. Alois Fry's twen-
ty-five mums which were named by lot

miums served to bring out a larger com-
petition than usual. The awards follow:

recognition of a rose of yellow Eaton
exhibited by Poehlmann Bros. Co., and
gave high commendation to the land-
8(ftipe and seed display of Vaughan's

drawn from a box in which the ladies
deposited their cards, was another good
advertising feature. One of the mums
was named for May Irwin, the actress,
and another for Ida Kroeschell, daugh-
ter of one of the Kroeschell brothers.

The Banquet.

Nearly 200 persons, a large majority
of them trade visitors, attended the an-
nual banquet of the Florists' Club at
the Auditorium hotel Saturday evening.
At the right hand of President Bruns sat
F. H. Traendly, of New York, president-
elect of the S. A. F., and W. F. Kast-
ing, of Buffalo, chairman of the commit-
tee on national flower show. These gen-
tlemen were unfortunately compelled to
take an early train, but those present
were given an opportunity to hear them
between courses of the banquet. Both
Mr. Traendly and Mr. Kasting spoke for
united support of the S. A. F. and its
big show next year. Mr. Traendly in-
vited co-operation also for the August
-convention at Niagara Falls. Mr. l^wt-
ing outlined the national show arrange-
ments as so far completed.

When the cigars had been reached
President Bmns introduced W. N. Rudd

education at state expense in Illinois
and said that Illinois now has the largest
college of agriculture and state experi-
ment station in the world. Other speak-
ers confined themselves generally to the
two topics discussed by the first gentle
men called upon and there was unanimity
in support of the national flower ghow
and state aid to the florists' business iu
the form of educational effort. Prof.
Blair, who has direct responsibility for
the work in horticulture at Champaign,
says it is contemplated to eventually have
at the State University a thorough course
in practical floriculture adapted to the
needs of the sons of florists who will
follow in their fathers ' footsteps. Among
the speakers were: J. A, Valentine, Den-
ver; A. T. Hey, Springfield, Dl.; J. 11.
Dunlop, Toronto; J. T. Temple, Daven-
port; Ed Koehrs, Rutherford, N. J.; W.
P. Craig, Philadelphia; Thomas Mell-
strom, Bruges, Belgium; J. A. Smith,
Lake Geneva ; J. C. Vaughan, P. J. Haus-
wirth, P. J. Foley, George Asmus and
C. W. McKellar, Chicago. The Chicago
Indians whooped faintly, the softening
influence of time being manifest in the
demeanor of the Sagamores, whose num-
bers now are few.

National Flower Show.

The committee of fifty in charge of
the national exhibition of the Society of
American Florists was in session in Chi-
cago November 8 and voted unanimous-

Pleasant Hill, Mo.; S. S. Skidelsky,
Philadelphia; J. A. Valentine, Denver;
W. P. Craig, Philadelphia; Prof. A. C.
Beal. Champaign, 111.; Leonard Kill, J.
C. Vaughan, W. N. Rudd, of Chicago,
and a representative of the Review.

Chairman Kasting reported that tho
guarantee fund now aggregates $11,060.
A call for twenty per cent of the sub-
scriptions was ordered, Irwin Berter-
mann, of Indianapolis, being elected
treasurer. Committee chairmen were ap-
pointed as follows: Executive and
finance, W. F. Kasting, Buffalo; Amer-
'can exhibits, Philip Breitnicyrr, De-
troit; foreign exhibits, E. G. Hill, Rich-

mond, Ind. ; premium list, W. N. Rudd,

tures, O. J. Koenig, St. Louis; recep-
tion, August Poehlmann, Chicago; au-
diting, J. A. Valentine, Denver. These
nine chairmen were constituted the exec-
utive committee, with full power.

It was ordered that an invitation be
sent to all horticultural bodies to par-
ticipate and that the Carnation, Rose

to co-operate and nominate judges for
their respective sections.

In addition to the trade displays noted
in last week's report, W. A. Mauda

Among the succes.sfiil features was
the voting contest on the school to re-

elect of the S. A. F., and W. F. Kast-
ing, of Buffalo, chairman of the commit-
tee on national flower show. These gen-
tlemen were unfortunately compelled to
take an early train, but those present
were given an opportunity to hear them
between courses of the banquet. Both
Mr. Traendly and Mr. Kasting spoke for
united support of the S. A. F. and ita
big show next year. Mr, Traendly in-
vited co-operation also for the August

ments as so far completed.

The Exhibition.

The exhibition of the Chrysanthemum
Society of America at New York Novem-
ber 6 to 8, in conjunction with the
American Institute, brought out flowers
that will live long in the memories of
some of us. The vase of ten Chrysan-
themiste Monngnj' set up by Thomas
Proctor, gardener to R. W. Patterson,
of Lenox, Mass., were, I venture to say,
the finest flowers ever set up in America
and probably anywhere else. They aver-
aged twenty-six and one-half inches in
circumference, with a finish as fine as
satin and stem and foliage just as per-
fect as the flower. Mr. Proctor richly
deserved the C. S. A. silver cup awarded
to him. Either one of the other vases
set up in this class would have won in
other company, W. Turner's Mrs. John
E. Dunne and Mrs. Kleinheinz's Mrs. W.
Duckham being wonders of their kind.

Mr. Proctor also showed his skill in the
class for twenty-five flowers of one vari-
ety, putting up tAventy-five Merza that
were perfect in every way. This variety
with ninety-nine men in every hundred
will wilt after being cut, but these flow-
ers kept in perfect shape throughout
th" show.

The Frick silver cup for Miss Clay
Frick was woh by Wm. Kleinheinz, of
Ogontz, Pa., with fine blooms, and the
same grower took the Nathan Smith
prize with Lynnwood Hall, a new white
variety almost a duplicate of Convention
Hall, W. Hastings running second in
this ctass, with Talene.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

KOVEMBEB 14, 1907.

The Dreer special was won by Harry
Turner, gardener to Howard Gould, x-ort
Washington, L. I., as was also the Pier-
son silver cup for ten white, ten yellow
and ten pink. Mr. Turner is an exhibitor
who will have to be reckoned with in fu-
ture, his Duckhani in the twenty-five
flowers of one variety and in ten pink
being splendid stock.

The gold medal of W. Wells for six
M. Hankey was won by C. H. Totty, with
W. H. Waite, Yonkers, N. Y., close be-
hind for the silver medal and Thomas W.
Head the bronze.

The Boddington prize for ten Beatrice
May was won by John Downing, Morris
Plains, N. J., and the Totty prize by
Nathan Smith & Son.

The Lord & Burnham gold medal was
won by C. H. Totty, with W. W. Moir,
a grand new Australian white.

For the largest blooms in the show
Tliomas Proctor won first for yellow and
any other color with F. S. Vallis and
Mrs. John E. Dunne, .las. Fraser, Cedar
Court, Morristown, N. J., taking the
white with Mrs. D. V. West, and A. H.
Wingett the pink, with Lady Hopetoun.

I am not attempting to enumerate all
the classes in the exhibition, but merely
to pick out the chief points of interest.
The Vaughan cup for best specimen
plants was won by Peter Duff, who got
five first prizes in these classes. William
Turner, Oceanic, N. J., averaged a high

was first on yellow, with Mary Donnellan,
and in pink with O. H. Broomhead.

The standard varieties that scored
most in the winning classes were W.
Duckham, Morton F. Plant and M. Han-
key, in pink ; Clay Frick, Merza, Mrs.
D. V. West, Nellie Pockett, Beatrice May,
whites; C. Montigny, Appleton, Mrs. W.
Duckham, F. S. Vallis, in yellows; Mrs.
John E. Dunne, Mrs. J. A. Miller, Mrs.
Partridge and Mrs. G. Heaume, in the
any other colors.

W. Wells, of Merstham, England, had
on exhibition some twenty varieties.
These showed the effects of their jour-
ney across the Atlantic somewhat and did
not do the exhibitor justice. Pockett 's
Surprise will surprise many, I have no
doubt, later. Mrs. L. Thorne, as a yel-
low, showed promise. Modesty compels
me to forego at this time describing the
two kinds Mr. Wells has named after
your humble servant and his spouse, but
we will hope they will do in our climate.
These imported flowers are always inter-
esting to the public and many are skep-
tical of the fact that they really have
traveled 3,000 miles.

The plants staged were beautiful speci-
mens, W. H. Waite taking several pre-
miums in these classes, as well as Peter
Duff. John McNicol, Lawrence, L. I.,
got first of twelve plants, twelve varieties,
and for the class for market plants.
James Bell, gardener to Prof. Osborn,

Carnation Sarah A. HilL

quality of stock all through, running first
in twenty varieties, ten white, ten yellow
and others in the classes for sixes.

C. H. Totty won the thirty varieties,
one flower of each, with Thomas Proctor
a close second. For the ten in variety,
long stems, conditions were reversed and
Mr. Proctor got first to Totty 's second.
Tlj« classes of six were won mostly by
George Hale, Seabright, N. J.; Thomas
W. Head, Groton, Coan., and A. H. Win-
gett; Lenox, Mass.

In the new varieties Chas. H. Tottv

(iarris^on, N. Y., also was a prize winner
in the 6-inch c!asses.

W. W. Kennedy, Red Bank, N. J., re-
ceived certificates for several singles, as
did also Charles H. Totty and George
Hale.

The judges were Eugene Dailledouze,
W. N. Craig and Robert Cameron, and
their work was done promptly and well.

The Meeting.

The business meeting of the C. S. A.
was not attended so numerou.sly as it

should have been, but the tone of the
speakers' remarks was hopeful and we
may see a boom in the society during
1908, with the reelection of President
Loveless. His remarks at the opening
showed careful study of the conditions
confronting the society and the best ways
and means for enlarging the scope of,
and increasing the interest in the society.
If the committee on affiliation can evolve
a plan to get the other societies inter-
ested by certificates or medals at the fall
shows, it might be productive of good
results. As President Loveless very truly
said, the work is localized and confined
largely to the particular territory v^ere
the society happens to hold its meetings,
as it is at present conducted. The same
holds good, unfortunately, in other soci-
eties of a like character and the C. S. A.
need not feel discouraged on that account.
The C. S. A. will doubtless join hands
with the S. A. F. at Chicago in 1908 and
will make that show a splendid success.
The meeting place was left in the hands
of the executive committee with power
and the election of August Poehlmann
for vic3-president seems to point to Chi-
cago in 1908. The appointing of a com-
mittee to draft a scale for judging pom-
pons and singles is a good, thing and this
broadening out of the society, while it
may entail lots of work on the officers,
will bear fruit at a later date. The secre-
tary and treasurer also were reelected.
Charles H. Totty.

PHILADELPHIA.

The fall exhibition of the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society was opened
in Horticultural hall Tuesday evening,
November 12, The center of the main
hall was filled with well-grown specimen
chrysanthemums in large pots, the plants
being taller than usual, averaging fully
four and one-half feet in height. They
were well furnished with good flowers
and foliage. There were few new varie-
ties, most of the exhibitors pinning their
faith on well-known, standard sorts. The
sides of the hall were adorned by six
groups of foliage plants of choice qual-
ity, competitors for the new Walker
prize. Between them were the 6-inch
chrysanthemums grown to single stem.
Most of these exhibits showed high cul-
tural skill.

The stage was filled by the Henry A.
Dreer Co. collection of foliage plants,
new and standard varieties. To the
right again was a dainty table of orchids
in bloom, with foliage plants arranged
for effect. Next to this was a great dis-
play of pompon chrysanthemums in good
variety. These pompons, with the sin-
gles, formed a larger proportion of the
flowers in the exhibition than in past
seaj^ons.

The foyer was filled with well-grown
ferns, specimens from private collections,
and rare stove plants. Between these
and the main hall were the cut chrysan-
themums; not so large a collection as in
former years, but oif high quality and
showing to great advantage. In these
classes the Walker prize again proved
popular, bringing out four splendid en-
tries of sixty flowers each, in twelve
varieties.

Three seedlihgs of unusual promise are
on trial. Next to them is perhaps the
finest pair of vases of white in the hall.
Both are Nellie Pockett.

In the lower hall evergreens, ferns,
begonias, vegetables, seeds, bulbs and im-
plements are being arranged for judg-
ing as these notes are written. Phil.

Carnation Defiance.

TAHRYTOWN, N. Y.

The annual exhibition of the Tarry-
town Horticultural Society was one of

ous and the quality superb, the entries
being practically all from the private
gardeners on the splendid estates of the
neighborhood. Among the principal ex-
hibitors were William C. Roberts, gar-
dener for Frederick Potter; W. H.
Waite, gardener for Samuel Untermyer;
David MacFarlane, gardener for Emil
Berolsheimer ; George Middleton, garden-
er for "William Rockefeller; Robert An-
gus, gardener for Joseph Eastman; Os-
car Carlson, gardener •*Ior Mrs. 0. B.
Jennings; Francis Milne, gardener for

E. H. Weatherbee; Thomas AitchisoL'.,
gardener for Mrs. Henry Siegel; Edward
.Jenkins, gardener for Giraud Foster;
Thomas A. Lee, gardener for Mrs. M. E.
Sands; H. J. Thompson, gardener for

dener for Mrs. J, B. Trevor; William
J. Buckley, gardener for Stuyvesant
Fish; James Stuart, gardener for Mrs.

F. A. Constable; William Inglis, garden-
er for John J. Riker; E. Lundberg, gar-
dener for Henry Coon; William Lyons,

sima. Lager & Hurrell received a cer-
tificate of merit for a display of or-
chids. Honorable mention was given H.
A. Dreer, Philadelphia, for an exhibit
of ferns, palms, etc., and F. R. Pierson
Co. received certificates for a group of
chrysanthemums and ferns and for car-
nations.

CHESTNUT HILL, PA.

The eighth annual exhibition of the
Chestnut Hill Horticultural Society
opened in Joslin hall, Thursday evening,
November 7, continuing throughout the
week until Friday. The exhibits, coming
principally from the private gardeners on
the Hill, were varied and of excellent
quality. In the class for cut chrysanthe-

mums Eaton led in the whites, Colonel
Appleton in the yellows, and William
Duckham in the pinks. The pompons ware
a feature of the exhibition, both cut and
in pots, being varied and of excellent
quality. There were a number of excep-
tionally well-grown flowering plants of
the usual high quality shown in the foli-
age plants, a specimen of Boston fern
being noteworthy. A good table of vege-
tables was shown. Music, lovely ladies
and meeting of old friends made the oc-
casion memorable. Phil.

ORANGE, N. J.

The thirteenth annual exhibition of
the New Jersey Floricultural Society
was held in the hall of the Woman 's Club
in East Orange, November 7 and 8. The
principal exhibitors were D. Kindsgrab,
gardener to Wm. Runkle; Peter Duff,
gardener to J. C. Brown; A. T. Capaarn,
gardener to Stewart Hartshorne; Max
Schneider, gardener to Charles Hatha-
way ; William Reid, gardener to S. M.
& A. Colgate; Albert F. Larsen, gar-
dener to Stewart Dickson; George Von
Qualen, gardener to A. B. Jenkins ; J. J.
Dervan, gardener to A. C. Van Oaasbeek ;
George Oakley, gardener to T. A. Gilles-
pie, and other private gardeners. George
Smith and Popken & Collins also were
among the prize winners.

Trade exhibits not for competition in-
cluded a fine table of orchids from Lager
& Hurrell; a group of orchids, Phoenix
Roobelenii and Ficus pandurata from
Joseph A. Manda ; conifers in pots, varie-
gated privet and the new nephrolepis,
South Orange, from W. A. Manda; En-
chantress carnations from Henry Horn-
acker and group of chrysanthemums from
Popken & Collins.

The judges were John N. May, Charles
H. Atkins and Anthony J. Manda.

BOSTON.

The annual exhibition just closed strik-
ingly showed the changing conditions in
and around Boston. For many years the
big specimen plants have been a strik-

ing feature. Gradually their culture has
been discontinued until this year not a
solitary plant of this class was shown.
Plants of more moderate size are now
more popular and some years may elapse
before we have an era of the huge speci-
mens which used to be the wonder of
visitors to our shows. Nor are the speci-
men blooms as much in favor as they
were a few years ago; flowers of me-
dium size ai"e preferred, while the anem-
one and single varieties are coming
rapidly to the fore. In spite of the al-
tered conditions there was a fine aad in-
teresting show.

For twenty-five cut blooms, distinct,
first prize went to Peter B. Robb for the
following: Nellie Pockett, President Vi-
ger, Mrs. Felton, Yellow Eaton, Dr. Eu-
guehard, F. A. Cobbold, Mrs. H. Part-
ridge, W. R. Church, Mrs. W. Duckham,
Guy Hamilton, Mrs. E. Thirkell, Mrs.
Swinburne, Yellow Jerome Jones, Souv.
de la Comtesse Reill6, Lady Hopetoun,
Fidelity, M. F. Plant, General Hutton,
Mrs. J. E. Dunne, Timothy Eaton and
Mrs. G. A. Miller. Second went to E. D.
Jordan, W. Abraham gardener; third
to Edwin Jenkins.

For six vases, ten blooms each, W.
Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener, won
with Mrs. H. Partridge, Enguehard,
Merza, John Shrimpton, Appleton and
Mrs. J. E. Dunne. For twelve Japanese
incurved, E, O. Jordan was in the lead
with fine flowers of Mrs. J. Jones, Merza,
Miss M. Hankey, Millicent Richardson,
Mrs. H. Barnes, Princess, Souci, Mrs.
Peabody, Duckham, Miss Clay Frick,
Appleton and Peter Kay. The best
twelve, reflexed, from Mrs. Lester Le-
land, were Beatrice May, Nellie Pockett,
Mrs. G. Heaume, Mrs. W. R. Ethering-
ton, Brighthurst, Bessie Godfrey, Chel-
toni, May Seddon, F. S. Vallis, Souv, de
la Comtesse Reill^, Reginald Vallis and
Valerie Greenham. W. Whitman was
both first and second for six new varie-
ties of 1907 introduction.

For ten blooms, pink, W. A. Riggs
won, with Enguehard; W. Whitman sec-
ond, with the same variety, and third,

with Miss M. Hankey. W. "Whitman won
in reds, with John Shrimpton; James
Nicol second, with Shrimpton; W. A.
Riggs third, with Mrs. H. Partridge. For
white, W. A. Riggs led with splendid
Merza; James JJicol second, with Merza;
W. Whitman third, with Fidelity. In the
yellow class \V. A. Riggs was first, with
Mrs. W. Duckham, and second with Ap-
pleton; A. F. Whitin third, with Apple-
ton. For any other color, A. F. Whitin
was first, with W. R. Church; E. Jenkins
second, with Glenview; J. Nicol, third
with Dakonia.

R. Vincent, Jr. & Sons Co. had the
best display of pompons. James Nicol
won for the best large vase of Mrs. Je
rome Jones. For the special prizes for
100 blooms in one vase, W. W. Edgar
took first and second with excellent Bon-
naffon and W. Duckham; E. MacMulkin
third, with Bonnafifon.

For the specials, for retailers only, for
table of chrysanthemums Arranged with
autumn foliage, Sidney Hoffman was first
and E. MacMulkin, second. For similar
table for commercial growers, Mr. Hofl-
man again led, using Garza entirely ;
Mrs. E. M. Gill, second; E. MacMulkin,
third.

Wabau Conservatories took the special
prize for fifty roses, with grand Amer-
ican Beauties; Carl Juergens second,
with Beauty; W. H. Elliott third, with
fine Kaiserin.

For six vases carnations, fifty blooms
in each, Peter Fisher captured the pre-
mier position and $40 with superb flow-
ers of White Perfection, Enchantress,
Rose-pink Enchantress, Mrs. C. W. Ward,
Beacon and Mrs. Ian Harvey. S. J. God-

dard took second, $30. Included in his
collection were fine Helen Goddard, Oc-
taroon and White Perfection. Third prize
went to Backer & Co. and fourth to F. R.
PiersoJi Co.

For display of cut orchids, J. E. Roth-
well, E. Johansson gardener, was first
and Colonel Charles Pfaflf, Geo. Melvin
gardener, second.

For display coniferous trees, J. Breck
& Sons won. For group of flowering
plants covering 300 square feet, E. Mac-
Mulkin led, followed by W. Whitman and
Sidney Hofl"man. E. MacMulkin also
won for group of orchids, Cattleya labi-
ata and Farley ense fern being chiefly
used. W. H. Elliott had the best twen-
ty-five commercial grown pot chrysanthe-
mums. A new class for six plants in
6-inch pots, grown six flowers to a plant,
proved satisfactory and much better than
the usual one flower to a plant. Mrs.
Lester Leland took first and second and
W. Whitman third. For twelve plants,
single-flowered varieties, Mrs. Frederick
Ayers was first and third and W. Whit-
man second. For the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club prizes for table center-
pieces the winners were S. Hoffman, F.
Hceremans and E. MacN'ulkin.

Probably the most attractive featurr;
of the show was the decorated table of
fruit for the special prizes. E. Mac-
Mulkin won, Isaac Locke & Co. second,
Irwin Rickor & Co. third, and F. Heere-
mans fourth. For collection of vegeta-
bles, fifteen varieties, E. Jenkins staged
a splendid lot, winning the cup offeretl
by Farquhar & Co.; W. F. Clemsen sec-
ond and Mrs. O. B. Jennings third.

Among the miscellaneous exhibits, C.

New Rote, Priocf m, Exhibited at Chicago by E. G, Hill Co.

( Photographed forty-elgrht hours after being stared.)

H. Totty had a large collection of single
chrysanthemums. Mrs. J, M. Sears, W.
C. Ritchie, gardener, had forty varie-
ties of singles and anemones. Philip
Dexter, James Salter gardener,, had
fine seedling anemone varieties and car-
nations.. M. A. Patten, C. S. Stuart, Mrs.
Marian Pierce, Robert Rust and S. J.
Goddard had displays of carnations. A.
Roper showed a fine vase of Bay State.
His fine new variegated Priscilla, an-
other variegated from S. J. Goddard,
showed up well, also White Fair Maid.
H. A. Jahn had some fine white, crimson
and pink seedlings. W. Nicholson had
Afterglow ; Wanokia Greenhouses had Ap-
ple Blossom; M. A. Patten, a good seed-
ling No. 133.

Mrs. H. D. Underwood had six stand-
ard chrysanthemums; R. & J. Farquhar
& Co. a handsome group of bays, palms
and Lorraine begonias. Groups of the
latter flower also came from S. Hoffman,
A. M. Davenport and Robert Rust; Geo.
M. Haile had fine seedling single chrys-
anthemums. R. Vincent, Jr. & Sons Co.
received a certificate of merit for a large
collection of pompons; Dr. C. G. Weld,
W. C. Rust gardener, a cultural cer-
tificate for Odontoglossum grande with
nine flowers to a spike; W. A. Manda, a
certificate of merit for Dracaena Manda-
iana; Robert Scott & Son, a certificate
for new rose, Mrs. Jardine, which was
much admired. F. R. Pierson Co. also
received a certificate for their new neph-
rolepis, Superbissima. Lager & Hurrell
had a nice group of orchids; Julius
Roehrs Co. foliage plants and orchids.
Ludovia crenifolia and Cyclanthus bl-
partitus received honorable mention in
their group.

There were, as usual, many visitors from
a distance. The attendance was large,
although the weather was unfavorable
on the closing day. The committee of
arrangements worked hard and deserves
much credit for its eflScient labors.

W. N. Craig.

BULBOUS PLANTS.

Anemones and ranunculi are not so
much igrown as their beauty merits.
They sell well in early spring, when
people are tiring of carnations, roses,
violets and the ordinary run of bulbous
plants. A good way to grow them is
to plant them between the rows of
double violets, the temperature exactly
suiting them. If violets are not grown,
they may be successfully grown in flats
in a cold hoiise. Anemones fulgens and
coronaria, single, and St. Brigid, semi-
double, are the best sorts. The turban
ranunculi are the largest and showiest^
but the French and Persian are both
pretty.

Polyanthus narcissi of the Grand Mon-
arque type are useful in pans. Their
odor is rather heavy, but they are an at-
tractive plant. Place in a frame on a
bed of ashes and cover with the same
material. Do not place outdoors.

Allium Neapolitanum, with large
heads of pure white flowers, is an ex-
cellent florists' flower. Grow in pots
or pans and treat in the same way as
iris and gladioli. A little more heat
may be given than to the two other
bulbs named, when forcing.

Babianas are not much seen now. They
resemble the spiraeas. Their colors vary
from lavender and pink to crimson and
violet. They do well in rather small
pans, 6-inch being a suitable size.

Oxalises are lovely little bulbs for
hanging pots and baskets and may

be sold to almost anyone with an as-
surance that they will grow well. The
flowers are white, yellow, red and crim-
son and are produced for a long time.
Plant an inch deep and allow eight or
ten bulbs to a 6-ineh pan. Give full
sunshine all the time.

There are few more beautiful bulbous
flowers than ixia and spiraziis. Their
graceful habit, with slender, gladiolus-
like leaves and spikes of star-shaped
flowers in a wide range of colors, is

very attractive to critical flower buyers.
They succeed well in 6-inch pots or
pans, which should be well drained.
Keep them in a coldframe until Novem-
ber ; then place them in a cool, airy
house, well up to the light, where the
night temperature does not exceed 50
degrees. Water sparingly until growth
is well advanced, then more freely. The
best ixias are I. craterioides major and
1. rosea plena Wonder. Tritomas want
similar treatment to ixias. C. W.

IN CARNATION HOUSE,

Can a house be built 22x150 feet and
heated with hot water so that there will
be a difference of 10 degrees in the
length of the house? If this can be done,
would it be practical to grow a variety
of stock in it? I am thinking of roses
at one end and carnations at the other.

J. A. F.

It is neither satisfactory nor profit-
able to grow carnations and roses in the
same house and practically impossible

to run such at a temperature to suit
both. The most practical way would be
to divide the house by a partition and
attach a few extra runs of pipe in the
rose section, sufficient to keep the tem-
perature up to the normal, 58 degrees
during zero weather.

Some varieties of carnations can be
grown successfully at 45 to 48 degrees,
but we have no roses at present under
glass culture that can be grown prof-
itably lower than 56 to 58 degrees, and
as the amount of moisture in the atmos-
phere for roses is in excess of that re-
quired for carnations it will easily be
seen that the sections should be sep-
arated, both on account of temperature
and condition of atmosphere. Bibes.

ROSE MRS. POTTER PALMER.

In this week 's Eeview there appears
an illustration of the new rose, Mrs.
Potter Palmer, the photograph having
been made from a vase exhibited by the
E. Wienhoeber Co., Chicago, during the
autumn opening, the last days of Octo-
ber. This rose is to be introduced next
season by the Poehlmann Bros. Co. It
is a sport of Chatenay and has the char-
acteristics of that variety, save that the
color is a much deeper pink. The gen-
eral pubUe, as well as the trade, con-
siders the color a distinct improvement
on Chatenay, so that it is likely that in
a few years the old variety will have
largely given place to its deeper-colored
sport. The naming of the rose for Chi-
cago's society leader was an excellent
business stroke. The better class of
flower buyers in Chicago have been ask-
ing for the variety to such an extent
that the Poehlmann Bros. Co. has been
unable to supply the demand for the cut
flowers since the flower show exploita-
tion of the Mrs. Palmer rose began.

MILDEW.

I enclose several leaves of Maman
Cochet rose which you will note are dis-
eased. Please tell us what it is and what
to do for it. We have been treating it
as mildew. E. M. R.

You are quite correct; the trouble is
mildew and if you had carried out in-
structions as recently given fully in
the Review you could not possibly have
this pest in your houses. It does not
matter what variety of roses you grow;
if you treat them right in all respects
you can, by the sulphur remedy, soon
clear your houses of mildew.

This pest is the ordinary corollary of
keeping the stock coddle(i. By this 1

tion and carelessness in the application
of ventilation, causing draughts. To
remedy this condition, apply the sulphur
mixture to pipes twice a week and shut
the ventilators during the coldest hours
of the morning for a couple of hours;
and apply the sulphur in the powder
form once a week. Eibes.

RAMBLERS FOR CHRISTMAS.

I have about twenty-five strong plants
of Baby Bambler rose in 8-inch pots,
where they have been growing all sum
mer. The Avood is pretty well ripened.

How should these be treated so as to be
in bloom at Cbristmasf J. B.

It is now too late to start your plants
and have them flowering at Christmas.
I have seen a few of these roses at the
holidays, but they were merely a ghost of
what they ought to be. These roses will
sell much better toward Easter and it
would be better for you to lay your
plants on their sides and start them
early in February for an Easter crop.
The latter holiday comes April 19 next
season. C. "W.

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

^Wf»>''Wf»>^Mr^Vr»X • »!

Poinsettias.

If the stock of that brilliant and ever
popular Christmas plant, the poinsettiu,
has been given a temperature of 60 de-
grees at night, the bracts will now be
starting to develop. The present is a
critical time with them, as a little neg-
lect will spoil your chances of securing
good flower-heads. Liquid manure may
be applied every fourth or fifth day, tak-
ing care not to give it in too strong
doses. Use a little soot or nitrate of
soda with it to keep the foliage a dark
green color. This applies more espe-
cially to plants in pans or pots, which
are well rooted. Those in the benches
may also need a little stimulant. Try
to keep good foliage on your plants,
which means a neither too wet nor too
dry state at the root.

It is now getting late to make up pans
unless you happen to have a few in small
pots. Even in this latter case it will be
better to let them develop their bracts
before placing in pans. Use some small
nephrolepis, pteris or Cyperus altemi-
folius in making up the late pans, to
cover up any nakedness and give the
plants a more furnished appearance.

Gardenias.

Gardenias continue to grow in popu-
larity and there is scarcely a day in the
year when they are not obtainable at
some of the better-class flower stores and
commission houses. Plants in pots which
were rooted last spring or early summer,
should give some nice flowers from
Christmas onward. A temperature of
65 degrees at night is about right,
and a spray nozzle should be attached
to the hose at least once a week to keep
mealy bug in check. Pinching ought to
be discontinued on pot plants, but may
still be necessary on bench plants where
a heavy spring crop is wanted. Use care
in watering the benches. Too much mois-
ture will cause a loss of flower buds more
quickly than dry conditions. The leaves
should always be of a dark green color.
Keep the' soil well stirred. Let it dry
well before watering and if any signs of
yellow foliage appear apply soot water
to counteract it.

Crotons and Dracaenas.

Crotons and dracsenas are being used
a little more each year, although tho
majority of florists never handle them.
They need more heat to do them well

than the average trade grower can usu-
ally afford them. As firing increases,
thus ensuring more heat for the propa-
gating bed, both plants can be rooted
easily. It is no use trying to do this in
a house kept any lower than 60 de-
grees at night, 70 degrees being bet-
ter. Keep them moist and well shaded
and they will root surprisingly fast.
When nicely rooted, pot off and keep in
a warm, moist house until well estab-
lished. While tops make the best plants,
if you are anxious to increase your stock
of any of the colored dracaenas, you can
also cut the stems in small lengths and
lay in the propagating bed until the
little shoots appear above ground.

Pandanus,

The side shoots or suckers from Pan-
danus Veitehii and the newer but less
attractive P. Sanderi, taken off now and

overwater those in pots and keep any in
flats or sand just moist enough to pre-
vent shriveling. These latter make grand
fibrous roots and grow rapidly when
potted up and kept in warmth.

LiUes.

The buds on lilies wanted for Christ-
mas should now be plainly seen. The
sunlight is decreasing each day and
only 70 degrees at night will make
your lilies come on in season if at all
backward. If the buds are beginning to
droop you are all right and need not
force too hard. Look out for aphis.
Dropping a little tobacco dust over the
tops of the plants is quite effective, but
fumigating each week is the best pre-
ventive.

Probably the bulk of your plants in- '
tended for next Easter are potted and
these should now be pushing above
ground. Be careful not to water too
freely until the pots are full of roots.
As the mums retire from the field, the
lilies can be brought into some of the
benches vacated.

Dutch Bulbs.

The late arrivals of Dutch bulbs are
now at hand and no time should be lost
in getting them into the soil. Earlier
potted batches of tulips, narcissi, hya-
cinths, etc., should be looked over and
they will probably be found somewhat
on the dry side. Let them have a good
soaking, for there is no more fertile
cause of Dutch bulbs failing than dry
conditions at the root. Cover with loam,
ashes or some otl^r material after this
watering, to prevent the roots from
throwing the soil out of the pots. Do not
make the mistake of trying to force
these when just above the ground.

Rambler Roses.

The canes of Bambler roses should now
be getting well ripened if the plants
have been laid on their sides as previous-
ly recommended. Leave them outdoors

This is the Poinsettia that Sells.

inserted in the propagating bench of a
warm house, will soon root and make fine
stuff for sales a year hence. Keep them
well soaked with water and, if your
drainage is good, they will not be long
in making roots. The old plants will
prove useful for supplying further cut-
tings a year hence.

Bedding Geraniums.

As the mum season is already on the

waue, you will soon have additional room

to spread out your little geraniums,

which will now be growing well. Do not

as long as possible, but put them in a
cool pit or light shed or cellar, where
there will be no possibility of frost
breaking the pots. Similar treatment
will answer well for hydrangeas, the foli-
age on which is now almost gone. Finish
potting up any stock you want to force
for Easter. It will not be so good as
plants grown in pots all summer, but still
many growers adopt this plan and have
quite good success.

Brief Reminders.

Get hardy lilies in the ground before

winter, even if you have to use a bar to
break up the surfacing of frost.

Get some protecting material ready to
use on outdoor subjects. It should not
go on until the ground is well frozen.

Have you booked the names of all
mums you would like to try another
year? Discard all superseded sorts and
save only such as are up-to-date.

Sponge kentias and other palms on
wet days and give any other foliage
plants a similar cleaning.

Let your early Boman hyacinths and
Paper "White narcissi open in a cool
house. Hard forcing, especially after
the flowers start to open, is hurtful.

Finish planting violas, daisies, aubriet-
ias, myosotis and other spring bedding
stock in frames, unless you are located in
a milder climate and can winter them
outdoors.

NEW DAHLIA CHARLES LANIER

One of the finest of the new dahlias is
the yellow, Charles Lanier, of which A.
H. Wingett says as follows in the Dahlia
News: "Some five years ago I made
several crosses and obtained quite a few
seeds, from which I raised nearly 100
seedlings. I did not record these crosses,
but after flowering reserved the seven
best varieties. These in turn were fur-
ther weeded out until now I have only
this one variety, which showed merit
superior to any variety known to me. I
first exhibited it in Lenox, in 1906. Its
record is well known. As an example
of its shipping and staying qualities, I
may say that the flowers sent to New
York were cut on Monday, shipped on
Tuesday, and I was advised by the man
who staged it for me that no fresh flow-

ers were necessary to keep the vase in
good order until Thursday evening. It
is the most prolific variety I have and
every growth produces long-stemmed
flowers of about five and one-half
to seven inches in diameter, and it
is seldom a deformed flower is seen. It
may interest to know that the majority
of my plants were rooted cuttings, plant-
ed about the middle of June from 2^^-
inch and 3-inch pots. Some of the flow-
ers shown in New York were from plants
rooted after May 1 and not planted out
until July. As an exhibition variety it
is excellent, pn account of its beautiful
color, foliage and stem. But to my
mind its greatest value is duo to its pro-
lific flowering and easy culture. ' '

Mr. Wingett is gardener for Charles
Lanier on the latter 's estate at Lenox,
Mass. <

NOTES FROM MERSTHAM.

Varieties Sent to New York.

We have much pleasure in sending a
few notes for the benefit of readers who
are interested in mums in England, as
the season is now in its glory.

The new Australian varieties will no
doubt interest your growers most, for
these are the plants that are most likely
to be popular next season, and as a rule
do exceptionally well with the American
growers.

Up to the time of writing we have not
seen all of the new sorts that will be
sent out this year, and comment only on
those that were sent to Mr. Duckham,
who so kindly stages them for us at the
New York exhibition November 6. The
varieties sent are the undermentioned:

Pockett's Surprise is as the name im-
plies, and will be an agreeable surprise
to thousands of other mum lovers who
will have the patience to allow the plant
to make a second break and secure sec-
ond crowns. (On your side, you do not
experience the objection we have in tim-
ing the buds or breaks.) If the first
crowns are secured here, the first two or
three rows of petals are quilled, although
they have an enormous spread. The
later buds liave the first rows of florets
quilled half way only, and all others flat.
The petals are thick, and the flower is
a good keeper. The color is a rosy crim-
son, which does not burn. The habit is
fine and the stems props in them-
selves.

Another variety is Charles Beckett, a
bronze terra cotta flower with a big
spread. The petals hang over to an
enormous extent, and unless I am greatly
mistaken this name will be a household
word among growers. The habit of the
plant is as stiff as a cane.

Rose Pockett is an old-gold flower
with a shade of salmon, a beautiful
spread and superb habit. The name

alone is sufficient guarantee to warrant
something above the average.

Leslie Morrison is a broad-petaled
rosy crimson, the habit of which will be
hard to beat.

George W. Pook is a variety similar
to the last named in style and shape, but
of a salmon terra cotta shade.

Charles H. Totty is a bright chestnut
with old-gold reverse. It is full seven
and one-half inches across, with broad,
gracefully drooping petals and a splendid
habit.

Mrs. C. H. Totty is a beautiful pink,
a most telling color. The flowers are not
fully out on our second crown buds, but
we can see enough to insure we have not
misnamed the variety.

Clara Wells is an incurved variety, a
ball of rich cream, a stiff, dwarf habit.

Merstham Blush is an immense blush
flower, a color that is rarely seen among
chrysanthemums; an enormous and beau-
tiful bloom.

Another variety we have sent over, not
an Australian, is Mrs. L. Thorn. This
is almost an exact counterpart of Mrs.
A. T. Miller, but canary yellow in color.

Lilian Coppard is from Australian
seed, a bright crimson with drooping
florets, similar in make to old Viviand-
Morel. The flower is one of the pret-
tiest, seven inches across, and a magnifi-
cent keeper.

Other Novelties.

The varieties described above are those
sent over for the New York show, but a
word or two on other varieties "will per-
haps be welcomed. The notes are taken
from our own flowers, for up to the pres-
ent, exhibitions have not started in earn-
est here.

W. Luxford is a grand, buttery yel-
low, a real beauty, seven inches across
and very deep.

Dorothy Gouldsmith is not quite at
its best, but already hangs down eleven
inches from the top of the flower.

Harold Wells is as white as snow, and
easily spreads nine inches across.

W. M. Moir is only half out, but re-
minds one of a swan's back, both in
shape and color.

Mrs. Norman Davis is a beauty, al-
most pure white. On a plant only two
feet high in a small pot, this variety has
a flower nine inches across.

W. Beadle is a rosy purple, a pretty
flower nine inches deep.

Mrs. A. T. Miller is. as usual, one of
the best and purest whites among mums.

Lady Talbot is a great improvement
on Mrs. Mease, and Lottie is a really
good rich yellow. The two last varie-
ties are from Australian sources, as well
as two or three of the others, but most
likely your growers have them and will
no doubt exhibit thorn to the best ad-

The Season.

The season liere lias not been a good
one for chrysanthemums by any means.
We have not been treated with our usual
share of sunshine, and the year has been
damp and cold throughout. Blooms are
damping wholesale where attention has
not been given the flowers that are half
out, although we have been fortunate
enough in our nurseries to keep the flow-
ers dry so far.

The early flowering, or outdoor kinds,
have dono remarkably well in the south
of England. Up to the time of writing,
October 24, we have not experienced a
frost hard enough to cut the blooms, al-
though there has beeii just enougli to
upset many other flowers. ^lavket grow-
ers have had a good hanest of bloom.

Reverting to the Australian varieties
of the big late blooms, Mr. Pockett tells
us some of next season's will be better
than the varieties this year. Wo liave

doubt he was correct in every detail. I
have never had the pleasure of seeing
such a lovely lot of novelties, and it is
most gratifying to know that each year
the varieties raised by Mr. Pockett and
sent out by myself will uphold our repu-
tation for many years to come.

TREATMENT FOR CUTVORMS.

Would you kindly inform us if it
would be safe to use hydrocyanic acid
gas for the purpose of destroying cater-
pillars on mums and carnations? They
are found in the bud of the mums, are
about half an inch long and are of a
brown color. In the carnations the
caterpillars are an inch and a quarter
in length, dark brown in color and ap-
pear only at night, eating a hole in the
stem just below the bud.

We noticed in the Eeview of October
24, page 48, that O. E. P. used this acid
gas, with damage to his lettuce; there-
fore we should like to know if it would
injure the blooms on mums and carna-
tions. W, F. C.

The worm is the cutworm, I would say,
by the description of it. 1 cannot say
whether the gas has any bad effect on
the flowers of the mum, never having
tried any to see; nor would I care to
take the risk, except with a few flowers.
If the worm is the cutworm, it will be
found in a hole just beneath the surface
of the soil, at the base of the plant.
Cutworms were very bad with me this
year, but a little patience cleaned them
all out. Flowers are sensitive to gases,
much more so than the foliage, it seems
to me, and W. F. C. had better experi-
ment on a small scale first.

BEST VARIETIES OF MUMS.

I intend to grow some new chrysanthe-
tnums next year, as the old ones I have
are not very good. Would you be so
kind as to tell me what the best varieties
are to grow in A'irginia for early white,
pink and yellow ; then white, pink and
yellow to follow the early ones, and then
the best late white, pink and yellow?
Also name three good kinds to grow
outside for small flowers to bunch up and

sell for 25 cents and 50 cents per bunch,
a dozen in a bunch, Norfolk.

A selection of colors to grow commer-
cially is given herewith. I have placed
the kinds in the order in which they
will flower to give a succession through-
out the season. These kinds have given
me the best returns financially and none
of them is now in the untried novelty
class :

White— Polly Rose, Mrs. A. T. Miller,
White Coombes, Beatrice May, Clay Frick,
W. H. Chadwick, Jeanne Nonin, Mrs.
Swinburne.

Pink — Pacific, William Duckham, Mor-
ton F. Plant, Winter Cheer, Mrs. Mary
Mann, Miriam Hankey.

Yellow — Monrovia, Cheltoni, Mrs. W.
Duckham, Col. Appleton, Mrs. Geo.
Beech, Yellow Chadwick.

This will give a selection of color from
September 25 to Thanksgiving. There
may be local varieties th&t would pos-
sibly do better in some localities than
these, but they seem generally reliable.
I have omitted the Eatons, because with
me they are rapidly going back, coming
hollow-eyed and very poor this year.

In pompons for growing outside the
following are good: Queen of Whites;
Bohemia, yellow; Rose Trevenna and
Eynsf ord Gem, jJink, I would suppose also
that some of the singles would produce
gloriously outside in Virginia.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

[The address of President Loveless before the
rhrysanthemum Society of America at New
VorJc November 0.]

When you chose me for your president
at the Chicago meeting, it was with some
reluctance that I assumed the responsibil-
ities of the office, knowing the impor-
tance of the work undertaken by this
society, and the reputation which had to
be maintained: but with the cheerful as-
sistance of all the officers, I look back
with pleasure on the efforts of the past
year.

United Effort Needed.

Discouragements we have had, but I
think I can with confidence say, that we
are in a better and more promising con-
dition than we were a year ago, but there
is still need for a more general combined

effort to place the society where it should
be, and make it what it stands for, and
prof esses. to be — a really national society
in every sense of the word. Individual
responsibility can alone accomplish this,
but the right spirit is still lacking among
our membership, and if the society ever
expects to maintain its position, every
member must be up and doing, and make
the growth of the society a personal ob-
ligation.

While we have steadily increased our
membership, there are hundreds who
should come in and help by their influ-
ence, to give impetus to the work of the
society. It has been previously impressed
upon the society the importance of per-
sonal solicitation. I emphasize that rec-
ommendation, and woufd also suggest the
advisability of making an effort to put
our society upon a more national basis.

Work on Broad Lines.

I do not believe the best interests of
the society can be served by merely hold-
ing an annual exhibition in the autumn,
as it has a tendency to localize the work
in the immediate vicinity where the ex-
hibition happens to be held.

A national society should have broader
Unes, and reach out so as to embrace
every town in this country, where an ex-
hibition of chrysanthemums is held, but
this phase of the work can only be un-
dertaken when the society has a regular
standard membership, to insure sufficient
funds to cover any expenses incurred. To
this end I would suggest that the various
horticultural societies throughout the
country be invited to join the Chrysan-
themum Society of America as auxili-
aries, paying the national society an
amount to be determined by the member-
ship of each individual society, pro rata.
By this means every horticultural society
in the country can become a part of the
national society and be enabled to com-
pete for its special premiums, within its
own jurisdiction.

Work of the Committees.

Every lover of the chrysanthemum
should belong to the national society, for
when we consider the gradual improve-
ment which has taken place in the qual-
ity of the flower, and the excellent
blooms we see on our exhibition tables

today, it inspires us with greater zeal
for the further development of these
gorgeous flowers, along the lines of su-
perior quality, and nothing has done
greater service in bringing about the re-
sults which we have witnessed today, in
developing and encouraging the growth
of superior varieties, than the splendid
work of the various committees ap-
pointed in the different sections of the
country for this purpose.

And here I would add that this society
is indebted to these various committees
for their untiring, unselfish devotion to
the aims and purposes for which they are
appointed, and which they so faithfully
fill, for when we look through the vari-
ous reports of exhibitions, we invariably
see the prize winners are those varieties
that have passed the censorship of these
committees. Their work prevents any-
one, private or commercial, from need-
lessly occupying valuable space with
worthless or doubtful varieties.

Cultural Matters.

It is true that some varieties do not
turn out as well as one might expect, but
this fact is unavoidable and cannot be
foreseen, and while we get some marvel-
ous flowers from varieties originating in
England, France and Australia, I feel
sure the United States is capable of pro-
ducing something even more phenomenal
in size, and with a constitution suited to
our climatic conditions, and while the
whole world looks to us for the latest de-
velopments, let us be equal to the occa-
sion, and by careful and systematic hy-
bridization produce varieties which will
be sought after the world over for their
excellence.

We must work out our own problems in
matters of cultivation, for no cultural
methods successfully practiced in foreign
countries can be adopted and carried out
here with any degroc of success, our cli-

matic conditions being entirely different,
this also being true of different sections
of our own country.

^ Chaagiac; Tactics.

A new era seems to have commenced
by the introduction of the large flowered,
early varieties. These I feel sure will be
very welcome, as in some localities the
season for chrysanthemums is <all too
short, and as we are fairly well supplied
with late varieties, excepting perhaps a
red variety that would come in for
Christmas, the improvement seems to be
in the right direction. The single vari-
eties are also becoming more popular
year by year and as these are improved
in quality and color, the general public
will accept them as desirable plants for
the home, and also for decorative pur-
poses.

These are being grown more generally
than is supposed, almost every house of
chrysanthemums containing a few sin-
gles, and as we become acquainted with
them, our love for this class of blooms
increases and we find a little more space
devoted to them each year. The improve-
ment of these varieties should be the
work of our society, every encourage-
ment being given to exhibits as opportu-
nity offers.

The importance of the Chrysanthemum
Society of America as a factor in the
chrysanthemum world can be appreciated
when we learn that information is being
sought after from northern India by an
admirer of our society who is trying, as
he says, to enlighten his ignorant coun-
trymen and requests his name put upon
our mailing list, that our publication may
be forwarded. I cite this as only an
instance, which goes to show how the
world is watching our progress and it be-
hooves every interested member of our
society to consider the importance of a
steady improvement in our work in keep-

ing with the national character of our
society.

Elaboratiog^the Report.

A word regarding our annual report. I
think it would be of the greatest impor-
tance could we arrange to include in its
pages the reports of the various exhibi-
tions held throughout the country, classi-
fying the exhibits, naming the winning
varieties in every case, and compiling
these into a reference liqt, so that any-
one could see at a glance which varieties
had been most successful in the exhibi-
tions of the year, making valuable
memoranda for the future.

I wish to thank the horticultural press
for their courtesy in printing our notices,
and also for their interest in the work of
the society, and I hope in the future a
column can be devoted to items of in-
terest to chrysanthemum growers and be
contributed to by members oi the society.

I also wish to thank the various com-
mittees, who have so readily performed
the duties of their office; to the donors
of special premiums we also extend our
thanks, and to the American Institute
which has so kindly taken care of us dur-
ing this convention, and to all those who
have contributed in any way to the ad-
vancement of the interests of the Chrys-
anthemum Society of America.

SOME SEASONABLE ORCHIDS.

Laelia Gouldiaoa.

That handsome winter-bloominjj Iffilia,
Gouldiana, is a natural hybrid between
L. anceps and L. autuninalis. The flow-
ers rather more closely resemble the lat-
ter than the former, being of a rich rose
color and having a pleasing odor. The
scapes are one to two feet high and
carry, as a rule, four to six flowers each.
With the other Mexican la;lias, this va-
riety needs abundant light in summer.
If grown in a heavily shaded house it
will flower poorly. It requires a good
deal of sun, as do each of its parents.
It succeeds well in baskets or pans hung
well up to the light. For compost, pure
osmunda fern fiber is the best potting
medium. The flowering period is De-
cember and January.

Odontoglotcum Crispum Ameioe.

Odontoglossums are the most difficult
of all orchids to grow satisfactorily in
America. Coming, as they do, from
mountain highlands, where the shade
temperature rarely exceeds 60 degrees
and not infrequently falls to near freez-
ing, they deteriorate rapidly during our
tropical summers. In Europe cut odon-
toglossums have a great sale in all the
leading flower markets, but they are
hardly ever seen in America. One or
two commercial firms are at present
making an effort to grow and flower
them, but 1 question if they will make
a financial success of it. On some few
private estates they are now grown tnttd
erately well and if we could only be as-
sured of an absence of summer humidit\
they could be done finely.

O. crispum is the most popular of the
genus and highly spotted forms have for
years commanded almost fabulous prices
in Great Britain. The illustration is of
a small spike on one of our plants last
season. The sepals and petals, while
lacking somewhat in breadth, are pret-
tily spotted. A sunken north house is
needed for summering these Alpine
orchids, but they benefit from exposure
to our winter sun, from December until
the middle of March. Fern fiber with
a little sphagnum is a good growing
medium.'

Gittleya Bowringeana.

That beautiful fall-flowering cattleya,
Bowringeana, introduce<l in 1886, from
Central America, makes a glorious show
in the orchid houses during October and
November. The flowers vary consider-
ably in color, but are usually rosy pur-
ple, with a maroon baud, and two and
one-half to three inches in diameter, al-
though even larger on vigorous speci-
mens. As a rule the corymbose racemes
carry from six to fifteen flowers, but in
many cases more. The illustration shows
one with twenty-eight flowers. Even this
number is occasionally exceeded. One
raceme bore forty-seveu flowers two
years ago.

C. Bowringeana is allied to the popu-
lar summer-blooming C. Skinneri, which

it somewhat resembles in color. The
latter, however, never throws such superb
scapes of blooms. C." Bowringeana is a
robust-growing sort. It does well
treated similarly to C. labiata a^d grown
in either pots or pans in a compost or
fern fib^r. It is not by any means a
plentiful . cattleya and few imported
plants are offered.

Oncidium Ornithorhynchum Album.

OAcidium ornithorhynchum is one of
the most popular of the genus, being
free flowering, of a pleasing color, with
a delightful odor and flowering in No-
vember and December. The form shown
in the illustration has pure white flowers
and is much more beautiful than the
colored type.

This oncidium is of easy culture, do-
ing well in pans or baskets, which should
be hung well up to the light and grown
in a north house during the summer.
Snails have a particular partiality for
the tender flowen spikes and it may be
necessary to protect them with wrap-
pings of cotton wool. The use of sphag-
num moss is liable to bring in these
destructive pests and it is better to use
pure fern fiber and thus keep them
away from the plants. W. N. C.

ORNAMENTAL PLANTS.

[A paper by Wm. H. Taplin, of FlatbuuU.
Brooklyn, N. Y., read before the Congress of
Horticulture at the Jamestown exposition, Sep-
tember 23. 1907.]

The last decade has witnessed great
advances in the production of ornamental
plants for commercial purposes in the
United States, the trade having in some
instances attained to the dignity of be-
ing specialized. It is true that there are
but few specialists in this department of
the trade as yet, the majority of plant-
growing establishments being divided in-
to various sections, rather than confined
to a single specialty. However, there
are a few such jilacos, and tliese are al-

most entirely confined to the eastern
states, the specialists of the west devot-
ing themselves in most cases to the cut
flower industry, in which many of them
are remarkable examples of success.

Use of European Methods.

Broadly speaking, our cultural meth-
ods are adaptations of the methods long
in vogue in Europe. By adaptations is
meant that climatic differences have had
to be observed, and some of our methods
adapted to those differences. For ex-
ample, the intense sunlight of our sum-
mer season makes necessary rather more
shading on the glass than is required in
some parts of Europe, and, again, the
longer period of hot weather in the cen-
tral and southern portions of our country
gives us an advantage in the rapid
growth of heat-loving subjects.

As a rule American plant-growers are
impatient of delays in the production of
marketable stock, the consequence being
that the slower growing plants are not
handled to any great extent, such sub-
jects being imported from Europe, where
labor is a little cheaper and where time
seems to be less of an object. As a re-
sult of these conditions, such plants as
bay trees, box bushes, aspidistras, aza-
leas and various other plants that require
much time and labor in their culture are
imported from Europe.

Palms.

The palm industry has made wonderful
advances of late years, but up to the
present time there have not been enough
palms of all sizes to supply the demand,
this condition causing the importation of
large quantities of these beautiful plants
from Belgium each season. It is true
that a few small palms have been occa-
sionally exported from this country to
Europe, but these exports do not ap-
proach the imports in value.

The centers of commercial palm grow-
ing in this country at the present time
are New York, Philadelphia and Boston,
the neighborhood of these three cities
doubtless producing more palms than all
the rest of the country together, and
from these cities is shipped the choicest
stock of this description that is offered
in the interior cities and towns, even out
to the Pacific coast.

Palms from Seed.

By far the larger part of the palms
that are annuaUy sold in the United
States are grown here from seed, the im-
ported stock being chiefly in the larger
sizes, such as are used for decorating.
The species thus used are few, and but
little change will be noted in the cata-
logues from year to year, as the quali-
fications of a useful commercial plant
are somewhat exacting.

To fulfill the requirements of a plant
for this purpose, it must needs be a spe-
cies that is readily obtainable, so that a
regular supply of seeds may be had each
season, and it must also be of reasonably
quick growth, of considerable grace and
beauty, and having foliage of an endur-
ing character. Thus we find that out of
a possible hundred of new species of
palms that have been introduced to cul-
tivation in the last thirty years, there are
less than a dozen to be found in the
average trade lists.

The most popular palms of the present
day are the howeas (otherwise and more
generally known as kentias), the seeds
of which are imported by the million
each season from a certain small island
in the South Pacific ocean.

Oaddium Omithorhynchum Album.

Temperature for Palms.

The howeas, or kentias, are grown best
in a night temperature of about 60 de-
grees, and this may be considered as
the low average temperature for palm
growing, in comparison with the high
average palm temperature of 68 degrees
that is ordinarily given to Areca lutes-
cens. There are more pinnate-leaved
palms in the florists' list than there are
of the fan-leaved section, the latter find-
ing less favor with the general public,
about the only representatives of the fan-
leaved section of palms that are grown in
quantity being a few species of livis-
tonas and chamserops.

Some of the date palms, or pha?nix, are
used for decorating, and these are also
used quite extensively for outdoor plant-
ing in the extreme south and southwest.
As already hinted, there is a dearth of
novelties of real value in the palm trade,
but among the few of recent introduc-
tion there is one phoenix that is being
taken up extensively, namely, P. Rcebe-
lenii, a very charming dwarf species
from Siam, this palm now being procur-
able in quantity, owing to the more lib-
eral supply of seeds received in this
country during the last three years.

Ferns.

Next in importance to the palms among
the commercial ornamental plants are the

ferns, and to one unfamiliar with the
trade the numbers of these plants that
are annually distributed in our large
cities would seem marvelous.

The fern trade may properly be di-
vided into two sections, the first compris-
ing those that are grown into specimens
in pots of 5-inch size and upward ami
the second including the various ferns
that are grown for the purpose of filling
table ferneries and making other decora-
tions.

These latter ferns for small ferneries
are grown by the million in small pots,
2-inch to 3-inch being the sizes most
used, and while the wholesale prices are
not high, yet the crop is grown in a rea-
sonable time and is fairly remunerative.
The species most in demand are various
species of the pteris and nephrodium
groups, the chief essentials for a plant
that is to be thus used being rapidity of
growth, compactness of habit and dis-
tinctiveness of foliage.

Among the ferns that are grown into
larger-sized plants for house and store
decoration we find a greater variety,
there being some of the maidenhairs tr
adiantums, a number of nephrolepis,
some pterises and an occasional represen-
tative of the tree ferns, among the most
notable and satisfactory of the latter be-
ing Cibotium Schiedei.

CAHNATION NOTES.-EAST. ♦

Disbudding.

Several years ago, when carnations
were grown for quantity rather than
quality, it was frequently the practice
to remove the main bud and allow the
side ones to develop, thus obtaining
from three to five small, short-stemmed
blooms on each flower shoot.

As the purpose for which they were
intended did not require long stems,
this method answered very well, but un-
der present day demands we must not
only produce long stems but stiff ones
and blooms large enough to sit up and
be noticed; so the plan now is to en-
courage growth of the main bud.

Advantages.

Of the latter method we shall treat
here as having advantages over the cus-
tom of not disbudding at all or doing it
on the tri-weekly (t) plan — working at
it one week and trying to the next. The
term disbudding, as understood among
growers, includes the removal of surplus
side shoots as well as buds, and aside
from tending to increase size of bloom
and the length and rigidity of stem, the
timely removal of such growths con-
serves the plant's energies. You wUl
•take particular note of the word timely,
as used above, for the longer the opera-
tion is delayed after the growths can
be easily caught hold of, the more plant
tissue must be disposed of, with pro-
portionate waste of energy.

Although this waste may not be no-
ticeable, you will be sure to observe a
more important condition — no increase
in size of bloom' if this delay is carried
to the point where the main bud is about
to show color, and, in fact, the whole
object of the operation is defeated.

It may be that similar circumstances
exist with those growers who are rather
lukewarm on the merits of disbudding.

Rash or Severe Disbudding.

Beginners, in their determination to
leave no stone unturned in their efforts
to secure }arge blooms, sometimes begin
operations too soon, causing' injury to
leaves. Or perhaps they remove the bud
close under the main one, before it is
sufliciently advanced to come away with-
out wounding the stem, resulting in the
bloom turning at an angle.

Make it a point to go over the beds
weekly, thereby keeping up with the
work.

Let no one influence you to discon-
tinue the operation, taking refuge under
the excuse that people will not pay more
than a certain price anyway; they cer-
tainly will not if given no opportunity
and if you persist in growing to meet
that price. Geo. S. Osborn.

WORMS ON CARNATION BUDS.

Enclosed you will flnd some carnation
buds. Can you tell me what is eating
them? Its work seems to be done mostly

at night, as I have been unable to de-
tect what it is. D. L. V.

If you will look closely you will find
that a worm is eating your carnation
buds. There are several varieties of these
and all of them do most of their feeding
at night. Some of them are of a light
green color and are not easily distin-
guished from the carnation foliage, while
others are of various shades of light
brown. Look over your plants at every
opportunity and destroy all you can by
hand. Mix up some of the bran, molasses
and Paris green preparation, as was rec-
ommended in the Eeview some weeks
ago. You will find it as effective as any
thing you can do. A. F. J. B.

STIGMONOSE ON CARNATIONS.

Please tell me what is the matter with
the enclosed carnation slips and what to
do for them. They have had plenty of
air. C. A. M.

The spots on the carnation growth you
sent are caused by the disease called
stigmonose. We treated this subject at
considerable length in an article in the
Review of October 3, page 9, and in it
you will find all the information I can
give you. Careful selection of cuttings,
careful watering, feeding and ventilating
will do all you can do to rid your stock
of it. It will require several years of
time and you will have to determine for
yourself whether it will pay you to nurse
that variety out of it. A. F. J. B.

RED SPIDER ON ARAUCARIAS.

Enclosed you will find a piece of Nor-
folk Island pine. We never had any

trouble with plants of this sort until
lately, when a lady told us her pine was
dying. We brought it to the green-
houses, repotted it and put it with ours,
and every leaf that touched ours started
them to turn yellow and die. D. L. V.

The cause of the trouble with the
araucaria is a severe attack of red
spider, the specimen forwarded having
been severely pjinished by these pests.
Strong spraying with either pure water,
or a solution of Ivory soap or of whale
oil soap, should soon dispose of these
insects.

This pest is encouraged on arauearias
by lack of syringing and too high tem-
perature, these plants enjoying a moist
atmosphere and a temperature of 50 de-
grees at night W. H. Taplin.

RHODODENDRONS FOR XMAS.

I have a few rhododendrons recently
imported from Belgium. Could they be
gotten into bloom for Christmas?

J. E.

While such varieties as Cunningham's
White are sometimes forced for Christ-
mas, I hardly think it will pay you to
try to force the newly arrived Belgian
plants for that holiday. Better hold
them for Easter, when they will sell bet-
ter. In forcing them, treat similarly to
azaleas. C. W.

THE READERS' CORNER.

Pansies in a Cold House.

The advice given by C. W. to H, E. B.
in the Review of October 31, page 7, is
good only if the winter is warm enough
to thaw the beds out two or three times
and thus permit copious watering. If
the beds are frozen solid for even a
month, they will become so thoroughly
dry that the pansies must die. 'ftiey
must have moisture, and frost will make
the beds dust-dry if severe. As I lost
a fine lot of pansies that way four years
ago, I paid for my knowledge. M. P.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

The Debutante Bunch.

This week's illustration, of the series
now appearing showing the work of
Charles Henry Fox, appears upon the
cover. It is a debutante bunch sent out
at this season last year, from the Sign
of the Rose, Philadelphia. It is a com-
bination of Bonnaflfon chrysanthemums
with autumn foliage, and the arrange-
ment displays the highest class of work
by the floral artist.

THE ELKS' WREATH.

The accompanying illustration, and the
purpose for which the design is used,
suggests an idea which can be employed
with profit by a great many retail
florists, and especially by those who are

what are technically known as "join-
ers. ' '

This illustration is from a photograph
of the design used by Lodge Number 474
of the Benevolent and Patriotic Order
of Elks, located at Auburn, N. Y. When-
ever an Elk is buried the lodge sends
this design and it has come to be recog-
nized in the town as the funeral em-
blem of the order. This was made by
E. H. Dobbs, of Dobbs & Son, who is
a patriotic member of the order.

It is the practice in many lodges to
send flowers to the funerals of deceased
members, but in the majority of cases
the pieces vary as do the whims of the
moment, in some cases the observance
being overlooked altogether. The florist
member usually can secure the adoption
of some standard piece, with instruc-
tions that it be sent in every case where
there is a death in the lodge.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Exceedingly dull trade has been the
rule and signs of betterment are not yet
in sight. Perhaps with the passing of
the mums conditions may improve; it is
certainly a consummation devoutly to be
wished. Boses have fallen in value and
many of the smaller grades are almost
given away. Some grand Beauty, Eich-
niond and Kaiserin were noted last
week, but prices are not commensurate
with their qu&lity. Carnations are fine
in quality and becoming too abundant
for the market needs. Top-notch price
is $3 per hundred and some have been
cleared as low as 50 cents; of course,
these latter were small flowers.

Chrysanthemums still rule the market
but will be less abundant after a few
days. Bonnaflfon and Appleton are pre-
dominant yellows. Some nice Duckham,
Cheltoni and other seasonable sorts are
also seen, while Eaton and its yellow
sport are arriving. Violets are good
but not selling so well. Other flowers
do not cut much figure at present in
the market. There is no change in as-
paragus, smilas or adiantum. Pot plants
continue to sell rather slowly as com-
pared with last year.

Various Notes.

William H. Elliott has been at Mad-
bury, N. H., for some time, pu3hing
ahead work on his big, new house, of
which three sections are completed and
planted.

Visitors at the recent show included
D. McBorie, Orange, N. J.; Thomas
Knight, Butherford, N. J.; G. F. Struck,
Summit, N. J.; F. Heeremans and Edwin
Jenkins, Lenox, Mass.; A. McLellan and
John Marshall, Newport, E. I.; James
Stewart, Mamaroneck, L. I.; John Ash,
B. Marshall and Bobert Bust, Pom fret,
Conn.; George E. Baldwin, Secaucus,
N. J.

Bemember the club meeting Novem-
ber 19. The annual election of oflScers
is one of the main attractions, but there
will be others. The December meeting
will be ladies' night.

We are glad to report that the two
wholesale markets have arranged to hold
an exhibition. It should be held in Hor-
ticultural hall, as neither of the markets
is suitable. We are sure the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society will be pleased
to show all possible courtesies.

A few Paper "White narcissi have made
their appearance in the market. Some
dahlias also were seen, showing that frost
has not visited every section even yet.

The football game November 9 be-
tween Harvard and the Carlisle Indians
caused a run on red chrysanthemums and
carnations which made prices ascend.

S. J. Goddard is having good success
again with Helen Goddard carnation. His
variegated seedling, Priscilla, is promis-
ing, as are a white sport from Fair Maid
and a fine dark pink variety.

William Nicholson, as usual, has some
fine Pennsylvania chrysanthemums, which
variety he always grows well,, also Na-
goya, Appleton, Yellow Eaton and other
sorts

"Welch Bros, are handling superb
Beauty roses from Carl Jurgens, New-
port, B. I. Their valley from this grow-
er also is fine. . , ',. ^

chrysanthemums at the show were well
grown and netted him $70.

H. H. Barrows & Son report an active
"demand for nephrolepis, the varieties
Bostoniensis and Whitmani being in most
request.

E. T. McGorum is cutting some excel-
lent Bride and Bridesmaid roses, some
of which were staged at the show.

E. J. Shaylor has recently secured some
more choice, new peonies from Europe
and means to keep his collection in the
front rank. "W. N. Craig.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The market was overloaded with stock
and demand was dull last week, but after
aU, history is only repeating itself. It
is always a flood in chrysanthemum time.
This year it is a torrent and as a natural
result of swollen stream, prices have been
wrecked and grand flowers that last
year sold at $4 to $5 a dozen actually
have been cleared as low as $2. And
so it has been through every grade of
this wonderful flower, until for the lower
strata there is no price at all. But if
wonderful exhibitions and glorious retail
windows and wedding and dinner decora-
tions have any effect the profuse ship-
ments have not been in vain.

Boses suffered as well as mums. Few
Beauties went above 20 cents and 15
cents would be a fairer quotation. Bride,
Maid, Chatenay and Bichmond a-- joined
the procession of retrograding values and
with $4 per hundred as top for a small
selection, the cleaning up process would
often include in its sweep roses of every
grade and $10 per thousand looked good

to some before the week was over. So
was it with carnations and valley and
violets and, in fact, everything.

The weather continues periect; too
fine so far for trade. We need a killing
frost. The suburbs are demonstrating
Mr. "Vincent's faith in the value and
beauty of the pompon. Few gardens in
and around New York are without them.

Monday's prices showed no improve-
ment over last week. Shipments are
enormous; the wholesale houses are full.
November weddings, operas, society fea-
tures innumerable, do not seem to make
any impression on the supply, and there
is not five per cent of inferior stock to be
seen anywhere.

A )-ear ago almost similar conditions
prevailed, but the weather was clear and
cold, orchid prices were hardening and
retailers were making special arrange-
ments for Thanksgiving.

QubMeetin£. *

It was ladies' night November 11 at
the New York Florists ' Club and the fair
sex were as numerous as the members.
About 100 celebrated the final dual gath-
ering of the year. President Totty was
in the chair. E. G. Hill was a visitor
and gave an eloquent address, especially
emphasizing the importance of the great
national flower show of 1908, and urging
New York to do its utmost to interest
the east in its success. Mr. Hill had fine
exhibits of Bhea Beid and Princess roses.
Of the former 40,000 he says are already
sold. It won the premium at Chicago as
the best new rose and the silver cup at
Washington. Princess won the silver cup
at Chicago as the best new rose never
before exhibited. Both received the club's
preliminary certificates, the former with

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

NOVBMBGB 14, 1907.

94 points and Princess with 85. Clias.
Weber, of Ijynbrook, showed three splen-
did vases of Imperial, Pink Imperial and
Aristocrat carnations.

It has been announced that at the next
meeting of the club only those members
will be entitled to vote for the new offi-
cers whose dues are paid to date. The
nominating committee placed the follow-
ing members in preliminary competition
for thfe honors: For president, Chas. H.
Totty, Charles Weathered, Wm. Duck-
ham; vice-president, W. Marshall, H.
Weston, A. Jaenecke; treasurer, Walter
Sheridan, J, K. Allen,. A. L. Miller; sec-
retary,'John Young, J. Austin Shaw, S.
S. Butterfiold; trustees, E. V. Halloek,
W. B. Durie, Peter Wagner, Chas. Len-
ker, A. J. Guttman, A. M. Henshaw, A.
Rickards, Eobert Simpson.

Conrad Schafer was elected to mem-
bership. Messrs. Simpson, A. J. Manda
and Langjahr were added to the award
committee for the evening.

Henry S. Adams, of Wellesley, Mass.,
gave an interesting lecture on "School
Gardens," illustrated by many photos,
which were distributed to his hearers dur-
ing the discourse. A hearty vote of
thanks was tendered him and Mr.
O'Mara gave an eloquent address, in
which he dwelt upon "The wealth which
out of the land must come."

J. B. Nugent, chairman of the house
committee, took charge of the evening's
developments at the close of the regular
business, and ably assisted by Messrs.
Rickards and Fenrich, dispensed intellect-
ual and gastronomic feasts to all. The
ladies enjoyed a luxurious spread in the
club's parlors. The rooms were made
homelike for the occasion, and the tables
were nicely decorated with handsome
roses and carnations of the exhibitions.

The artists who helped to make the
evening memorable until midnight were
Messrs. W'oodell, the Rickards brothers,
the Burnett brothers, Mrs. Bevins and
Miss Eeiff, in vocal and instrumental
music, the ladies especially delighting all,

society's membership next year from
eighty to 800. The one regret of all
present was the small membership of the
year and the unresponsiveness of the
trade to the secretary's solicitations.

Robert Rutter, the president^of the
American Institute, made an elo(^nt ad-
dress of welcome to the society.

The papers by Messrs. Duckham and
Totty were practical, brief and interest-
ing and the discussion was participated
in by Messrs. Herrington, Stewart, Vin-
cent and other prominent horticultur-
ists.

W. N. Craig, of Boston, as chairman of
the committee on closer relations, will do
effective work in its behalf.

President Totty made a great display
of new varieties, and carried off many
of the honors, including the gold medal.

Elmer D. Smith and wife came all the
way from Michigan to the mum show
and continued their trip easterly to Bun-
ker Hill.

R. Vincent and son were especially
jubilant because the pompon has at last
come into its own and its value has been
officially recognized. Mr. Vincent made
a stirring address in his behalf.

The master gardeners were much in
evidence at the mum show and their
handiwork was the real foundation of the
society's triumph. Harry Turner's new
celosia. Pride of Castle Gould, was a
center of interest. So were Cook's new
roses and Pierson's fine display of his
carnations.

Arthur Boddington's cosmos is win-
ning its widening way wherever it is ex-
hibited.

Various Notes.

The flower shows are over and the rec-
ords they have made exceed all accom-
plishments of the past. At Madison and
Tarrytown, and in fact wherever these
annual exhibitions have been held, the
verdict has been that quality and variety
has never been excelled. Of the Chi-
cago show, F. H. Traendly, who re-

in the Land of the Big Grain Fields.

while Chairman Nugent was at his best
and kept all in good humor by his wit
and facetiousness until the wee sma'
hours. Everybody declared it one of the
best nights in the club's history. More
and more the need of a home of its own
is indicated.

Echoes of the Flower Show. v

President Loveless deserved the honor
of reelection. He is an ideal presiding
officer. Those who know him best, say
Lovemore should be his name.

Vice-President Poehlmann, of Chicago,
will have an opportunity to increase the

turned to New York Monday, has only
the most glowing account to give. Never,
he says, in beauty, quality, variety and
management has he seen its equal.

The Begerow Floral Co., the bon ton
flower shop of Newark, N. J., opened its
new store last week to a crowded house,
distributing free many thousands of
roses. A. J. Guttman, who was a vis-
itor, says it is one of the handsomest
stores in the country.

C. W. Dards opened his beautiful store
on Seventy-second street November 11.
There are many unique features that
place it among the tip top flower stores

of the world. A fine conservatory adds
to its attractiveness. The interior deco-
rations are rich and massive and the
locality is teeming with millionaires.

Charles Millang is doing his share this
week in dissipating the financial clouds
with his Sunshine mums and worry kill-
ing music.

Good crowds now attend the auctions
and splendid stocks in palms and retino-
sporas, boxwood and fruit trees and
ornamentals are going at reasonable
prices.

Le Moult, on the Bowery, is again a
grandpa, as his daughter, Mrs. Joseph
Fenrich, entertained the stork November
8 with a 12-pound. boy.

Mrs. A. M. Henshaw is recovering.

Large crowds attended the Central
park mum show November 10. The ex-
hibit is free and will continue until De-
cember. The arrangement and variety
of bloom is most creditable to the man-
agement.

L. Wertheimber & Co. have some fine
Japanese novelties this year in vases,
that appeal to florists, and their usual
specialties in bells for Christmas.

The Wholesale Florists' Protective As-
sociation may safely be announced as a
permanent institution. The few not yet
enrolled will doubtless come in out of
the cold before November 15, which is
the date that determines the scheme's
efficiency. The majority of the retailers
approve of it. Some refuse to purchase
from the wholesalers who stay outside.
One of the leading retailers gave this as
his ultimatum last week and made the
declaration practical. A few of the re-
tail men express a decided opposition to
the plan, largely because of its arbitrari-
ness, forgetting that the rules apply to
all, and that the ultimate result can only
be the elimination of the undesirable
competition in the business, and the plac-
ing of the trade at last upon a stable
basis.

George M. Geraghty has been seriously
ill for a month, but has recovered.

M. A. Bowe changes his window dis-
play daily. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine
is the latest plant to be effectively util-
ized for brilliant effects. In the very
heart of the city, he finds it to his ad-
vantage to keep his exhibit always up-
to-date.

Of the retailers whose artistic ability
is continually demonstrated in moderia
and unique effects in window and store
decoration in New York, none draw more
interested attention than those of Alex
McConnell, John King Duer, W. H. Don-
ohoe, A. Warendorff, David Clarke's
Sons, Leikens and Myer, while over in
Brooklyn Robert G. Wilson and S. Masur
show the city of churches how to make it
also the city beautiful. These all pre-
dict and are preparing for an old-time
Thanksgiving.

The ribbon houses which cater to flo-
rists' needs have no complaint of hard
times; in fact, they say there is more
business than they can attend to without
working into the night. It is an inspira-
tion to hear them dilate upon the trade's
prosperity.

The collection department is not so
serious a consideration as it was two
weeks ago.

The new firm of Spaulding & Hodg-
son has been incorporated, with $10,000
authorized capital stock. The incorpo-
rators are Sarah F. Spaulding and A.
W. Spaulding, of New York, and
Charles F. Hodgson, of East Orange,
N. J. The firm will do business both in
New York city and at Newport, R. I.,

ruptcy.

IN THE LAND OF GRAIN.

The illustration opposite shows the
establishment of A. N. Kinsman, at
Austin, M^inn. There are in all seven
greenhouses of up-to-date construction,
with a boiler-room and chimney capable
of taking care of a big growth in the
range. The plant at present comprises
practically 32,000 square feet of glass.
As instancing the proportionate demand
in such towns, it is interesting to note
that Mr. Kinsman grows 7,000 rose
plants and 11,000 carnations. Of course
he also has a line of general stock, such
as is required for a retail trade in a
small city. He forces bulbs in spring
and does a large business in bedding
plant^s at the opening of summer.

Mr. Kinsman makes no doubt of the
continued prosperity of the northwest.
The farmers in his region, the south
tier of counties in Minnesota, grow two
great staples, com and wheat, and while
the yield this year has not been so great
as in the two preceding seasons, the
price at the time of marketing the crop
was so much higher than usual that the
farmers have more money than ever be-
fore. All business men in Austin will
get their share of it as the winter pro-
gresses.

Schenectady, N. Y.— The New York
Central is building a new station and
will have several stores to rent, one on
the State street side having been leased
by John C. Hatcher, of Amsterdam,
who will open a branch flower store
in it about January 1.

TH« CREGO ASTER.

Our illustration shows a portion of a
field of this new aster as grown by the
originator near Maywood, 111. It had its
origin in a chance seedling ten years
ago and has been in process of selection
and improvement ever since. Like
many other hybrids, it is a shy seeder,
many of the largest and finest blossoms
producing no seed at all. It has been
offered to the Chicago trade as a cut
flower for three seasons and has had a
remarkable success, selling readily at
good prices even when the market has
been badly overloaded with older va-
rieties. The stock at present is made up
of three colors, light pink (Enchantress
shade), white and rose-pink. Two oth-
er colors, purple and lavender, are being
worked up and will probably be offered
for the approval of the trade within the
next two or three years.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Trade last week did not show much
improvement over the week previous.
Society is still dull, as only small affairs
ara being reported by the uptown florists
who do most of this work. The florists
in the downtown district sa-y that while
there has been plenty of funeral work,
other work was dull and even transient
trade dragged, which should be good at
this time of the year.

The wholesale market was lively
enough. There is plenty of good stock.
Violets have taken a brace in price and
quality. The demand, too, is much bet-
ter. Only Californias are in the mar-
ket. Chrysanthemums of extra fancy
grades will be scarce this week, as the

growers will save them for the show this
week. Still there are enough for the de-
mand. Ivory is a great seller and so is
Eaton. Beauties have been quite plenti-
ful in all grades. Kichmond and Chate-
nay are extra fine and other sorts are
plentiful and of good quality. Paper
Whites and Romans, though, are looked
for daily.

Carnations are in great demand. Bose-
pink Enchantress, Enchantress, Lawson,
White Perfection and Cardinal are
classed among the fancy grades. Lady
Bountiful is fine, but the buyers fight
shy of it for its sleepy habits. There is
plenty of valley of good quality, but the
demand is not extra. Smilax and aspara-
gus sell clean.

Various Notes.

Visitors last week were Henry Johann,
Collinsville, HI,; J. F. Ammann, Ed-
wardsville, 111.; R. H. Mandeville, New
York; R. S. Halstead and E. W. Guy,
Belleville, 111. Mr. Guy reports that he
has just returned from a two weeks'
fishing trip and that he will be judge at
the flower show at Marissa, 111., Novem-
ber 20 and 21.

Quite a number of our retail stores are
displaying Gothia berry globes, which
are sent out by Mark Aitken, of Spring-
field, Mass. This is something new and
seems to be a great window attraction
for the passing public.

Goorgp Kessler, of Kansas City, has
been engaged to lay out the new Yeat-
man park. Commissioner Scanlan and
Mr. Kessler left November 4 for a trip
to Kansas City, Chicago and Detroit to
look over park improvements in these
places. Superintendent George Ostertag
will be in charge of the department dur-
ing Mr. Scanlan 's absence.

Jamet C Luitweiler.

James C. Luitwciler died November 4,
at his home in York, Pa., after several
months' illness. He was born in Flush-
ing, Holland, in ,1830, and came to Amer-
ica when 7 years of age. He made his
home in Rochester, N. Y., where in later
years he was associated with two of the
largest nurseries in the country. In
Rochester he married Bertha A. Andrews,
who died in 1872. In 1861 he removed to
York, where he entered into the nursery
business in company with Edward J.
Evans. During the latter part of his life
he gave up the nursery business and de-
voted his time to the cultivation of flow-
ers. He is survived by his second wife,
who was Miss Martha I'letcher. He also
leaves five children.

Frank Lichtefeld.

After a constant illness of almost
three years, Frank Lichtefeld, the old-
est florist in Louisville, Ky., died No-
vember 7 of the infirmities of age. Mr.
Lichtefeld was 85 years old, and is sur-
vived by one son, Henry. His wife died
two years ago. Mr. Lichtefeld was born

Dexter Mason Ferry.

last year, but had attended to business
as usual and was at his office on Satur-
tlay.

The family of D. M. Ferry was of
French origin, but Mr. Ferry was born
August 8, 1833, at Lowville, N. Y. The
boy was thrown upon his own resources
when 16 years of age. In 1852 he
moved from Rochester to Detroit, be-
coming errand boy in a bookstore. Since
then his rise in wealth and position
has been steady, until years ago he
was recognized as Detroit's merchant
prince. The seed business which he
built up has become possibly the larg-
est in America.

In 1879 Mr. Ferry participated in the
organization of the firm of M. T. Gard-
ner & Co., to deal in seeds. By 1879
the business had so increased that it
was incorporated with a paid-up capital
of $750,000. The first year the sales
were only about $6,000, but the increase
was such that in 1901 an authorized
sketch of Mr. Ferry stated that in a
single year their sales had been more
than $1,500,000. It was in 1865 that
Mr. Gardner retired from the firm and,
after several minor changes, in 1867
the name became as at present. Mr.
Ferry assumed control on Mr. Gardner's
retirement and was the only person at
the time of his death who had connec-
tion with the house in its early days of
struggle and doubt. The firm of D. M.
Ferry & Co. was originally composed of
D. M. Ferry, H. K. White, C. C. Bowen

and A. D. F. White. The dbath of Mr.
I Bowen in the summer of 1900 was the
I first break in the long association of
these gentlemen. The business now for
some years has been actively directed by
Lem W. Bowen and D. M. Ferry, Jr. '

As prpsperity came to the seed busi-
ness, Mr. Ferry's interests extended and
diversified until he became identified
with a large number of Detroit's in-
-^aftiries^'cAt'th^ XixoB of his death he

August Loeber, late traveling salesman

for Arthur T. Boddington through the
southern and New England states, died
November 8 at the New York hospital
after d,n illness covering more than six
months. He caught cold last spring, this
developed into rheumatic fever, pneumo-
nia, pleurisy and indocarditis of the
heart, from which last he never really re-
covered and which was the ultimate cause
of his demise.

Mr. Loeber was born in Holland twen-
ty-six years ago and first traveled in this
country for the Continental Bulb Co.,
Hillegom, and was most successfuLas-a
traveling representative. He was a thor-
oughly lovable man and was popular with
all with whom he came in contact, bright,
alert and a good friend, generous to a
fault. He had no relatives in this coun-
try, but many friends who will mourn
his loss and bear with bis parents in their
sad bereavement. He was laid away in
Kensico cemetery.

Mrs. C Held. .

Mrs. C. Held, Baltimore, died suddenly
Monday evening, November 11. Last
summer an operation was performed and
she was able to be about again until a
few days ago. Mrs. Held was well known
by the trade, having carried on business
for twenty years and conducted her af-
fairs on a large scale. The trade in Bal-
timore has lost one who will no doubt be
long remembered.

East Haven, Conn. — The contract has
been let for the building of a residence
on Dodge avenue, for J, A. Long. It
will be a two-story frame structure, ar-
ranged for two families. The interior
will be modern in design and will be
finished in hard woods.

Battle Creek, Mich. — C. C. Warbur-
ton opened a city store November 2, at
the Monument Square comer. Hereto-
fore Mr. Warburton has conducted all
his business at the greenhouses, but the
growing demand necessitated the estab-
lishing of a downtown store.

New Castle, Ind. — Weiland & Olinger
have recently acquired a farm of fifty-
seven acres located on the Pennsylvania
line on the other sid^of New Castle from
their present plant. The property is an
ideal one for greenhouse purposes, and
will eventually be the location of a
range of glass.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Some men's work drives them because
they do not drive the work.

John T. Temple, of Davenport, la.,
says the pompon chrysanthemum is the
one that will be bringing in the money
five years from now.

At St. Louis November 12 the show
gold medal for new American plant was
awarded to W. A. Manda, for Dracaena
Mandaiana.

The scarcity of help of some experi-
ence is not so great as a month ago, for
the season is at hand when many large
growers lay off men who have been em-
ployed since spring.

W. J. Godfrey, the sweet pea grower
ak Exmouth, England, says that the
American variety Phenomenal seems to
be unnoticed in England, although it is
"a most beautiful variety and well
worth a trial, for it is distinct."

Wm. F. Kasting was candidate for
city treasurer at the election in Buffalo
November 5. He An 6,000 votes ahead
of the Democratic ticket, but failed of
election. To win in Buffalo, it looks as
though the Democrats needed a florist at
the head of the ticket.

By hundreds the florists, who d6 pros-
perous local business in country towns,
are finding that they can make more
money by using their space for other
crops and depending on the nearest
wholesale grower for their supplies of
roses.

Present indications are that in that
part of the country west of the Al-
leghenies, the approaching season will
break all records in the matter of green-
house building. Not only will the local
plants be added to, but the big establish-
ments will be largely increased, for all
are prosperous.

OUR TENTH ANNIVERSARY.

It had been our intention to felicitate
ourselves a bit upon this occasion, the
present issue completing the tenth yqar
of the publication of the Review, but
several patrons have arisen nobly to the
occasion and patted us on the back much
more gracefully than we could perform
the operation for ourselves. Not having
space in this issue for all the letters,
that of 'William L. Kroeschell, on page
35, is offered as an evidence, if any were
needed, that the Review has not been
idle during its first decade. If we have
failed of taking full advantage of our
opportunities we only can say, in the
words of the story as told of the cow-
boy's epitaph inscribed by admiring
friends: "He done his damndest; an-
gels couldn't a did no more.."

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The market was quiet last week and
a clearance on Friday and Saturday was
only effected by cheap offers of the our
selection grade. This week started off
better, Monday producing its usual run
of shipping and local buying being bet-
ter than at any time last week. Receipts
also were reduced by weather condi-
tions, which, though bright, have become
cold.

The chrysanthemum still doqiinates.
Receipts continue large, but quality has
improved, for the good late sorts are now
being cut. However, prices are not high.
In fact, the growers called them low, and
there is little prospect of anything much
better being realized this season. It
may have the effect of reducing the quan-
tity grown next year, this year's supply
of the catch-crop grade having been con-
siderably greater tnan that of last season.

There are some superb roses to be had.
Long Beauties are equal to all require-
ments and shorts are more abundant, but
medium lengths, as usual, are scarce and
command a premium. Fancy long Rich-
mond and Killarney seem possibly more
abundant than they really are because
the buyers are not anxious to pay the
price for the special grades. Bride,
Maid, Kaiserin, Chatenay and the spec-
ialty roses also arc fine and equal to
market requirements.

The receipts of carnations do not in-
crease as rapidly as usual at this season.
There is some fine stock and it brings
good returns, but even with the short
supply, bargain sales to clear out the
lower grades have been necessary.

There is variety in the reports on vio-
lets. Some houses speak well of the de-
mand and prices received, but others say
these must be easily satisfied, as their
own supply exceeds the demand and prices
realized are less than a year ago. Qual-
ity is fine. Easter lilies, valley, etc., are
abundant. A few short sweet peas have
arrived. Green goods of all kinds are
plentiful.

Thanksgiving Prospects.

The wholesalers are mindful of last
year's experience at Thanksgiving and
are not advancing quotations to any spe-
cial degree in their search for advance
orders for Thanksgiving. Last year we
had a brisk market in the middle of No-
vember and Thanksgi\dng rates were run
qa to a peiat whererthey shut off buying.
We shall have a large supply in Chicago
around November 25 and 26 and the ef-
fort will be to make prices so attractive
that big orders will be the result. The re-

Viiit to JoKet.

Forty of the trade visitors accepted
the invitation of the Chicago Carnation
Co. for a trip to Joliet November 9. The
establishment was found in exceptionally
good shape, the stock in all the houses
being of uniform good quality. Aristo-
crat is grown in largest quantity, there
being 20,000 plants. There are 10,000
each of White Perfection and a white
sport of Enchantress. Other varieties
grown in considerable quantity are Win-
sor, Beacon, Enchantress, Rose-pink En-
chantress, Victory, Cardinal, Lady Boun-
tiful, "White Lawson and Red Chief.
There are 10,000 plants of Andrew Car-
negie, the new scarlet which the firm is
disseminating this season. It is a sport
from Harlowarden.

State GreeohouscB.

November 9 there was a meeting be-
tween Dean Davenport, Prof. Blair and
Prof. Beal, of the State College of
Agriculture, and the advisory commit-
tee of the State Florists' Association,
to which a number of the local growers
were summoned. The plans for the
'dtate greenhouses at Champaign are on
paper and construction work will begin
in the spring. Dean Davenport said he
was particularly pleased with the sug-
gestion that this first state appropria-
tion is only a step toward a practicat
school of floriculture. Growers ex-
pressed themselves anxious to have a
solution for such practical problems as
their battle with thrips.

VarioiM Note*.

Bassett & Washburn have decided not
to send out their new red carnation,
Orland P. Bassett, this season. The
present plan is" to grow three houses of
it next year, especially for propagating.

Among the Chicagoans at St. Louis
this week are Leonard Kill, P. J. Haus-
wirth, August Poehlmann and C. L.
Washburn, the latter having gone by
way of Indianapolis, where there also
is a show on.

The A. L. Randall Co. decorated its
supply department for flower show week
and made a moat attractive display.
The effort was rewarded by the pres-
ence of a large number of visitors from
out of town. The company is this week
installing a new telephone switchboard,
with three trunk lines and stations in
all departments.

C. W. McKellar received red berries
November 8 and calls attention to the
fact that quality is much better this
year than last.

H. N. Bruns was the most cheerful
loser at the show. Incidentally it is
worth recording that in the wholesale
market buyers do not want dark green
foliage on their valley; they want light

§reen, the same as in plumosus and
prengeri.

N. J. Wietor says that Golden Chad-
wick is one of the best commercial chry-
santhemums in the large list they are
growing. He says that for all the
splendid novelties sent out year by year
the demand for cut flowers still is for a
few sorts, Bonnaffon and Chadwick be-
ing most popular.

There are two men in the market
who attend to business under difficulty.

E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., is
ill of indigestion and E. F. Winterson
is combating his old enemyi rheilmatism.

Philipp & Opitz have purchased the
retail business of Chas. E. Morton, at
3626 Cottage Grove avenue.

C. Brethauer has been located at 1198
Lincoln avenue for twenty-six years and
has seen the locality grow from an open
prairie to a solidly built up district.
The opening of the elevated station
within a few doors of his place has
helped business with him this fall.
Years ago he had greenhouses at this
location, but he now finds that he can
buy cheaper than he can grow.

E. C. Amling has begun to receive
sweet peas. He did a fine business with
them last winter.

A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry,
has gone to Little Rock, Ark., to judge
the show there this week.

Mrs. Frank Beu, who sells in the
Flower Growers' market, is again dis-
posing of a crop of pompon chrysanthe-
mums and says they are the best sell-
ing stock at present and that a bench
of these pays better than a bench of big
mums.

Peter Risch, of W^eiland & Risch, has
been ill for a week or more and Miss
Furlong, who presides in the office, wears
her face in a bandage as a result of a
visit to a dentist.

Andrew McAdams has had an experi-
ence of the cattleya fly in his house of
orchids and he says the cattleyas hardly
will be this season as they were last,
the most profitable thing on the place.

C. M. Dickinson says that E. H. Hunt
is now disposing of so great a quantity
of To-bak-ine products that he is con-

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

The fact that all the larger business
concerns are paying their employees with
clearing house checks is causing much
talk, for the reason that it is not under-
stood. Many persons fear that it will
affect trade. However, as long as there
is work enough for all, the people will
have just as much to spend and will soon
understand this method of receiving their
pay, if it has not gone out of existence
as quickly as it came in. So far trade
has not suffered much, although there 19
no great demand along any line, and each
one is able to take care of all the busi-
ness he can get without working over-
time. The wholesale houses seem to have
more than plenty of everything, and as
long as that is the fact they are not ex-
pecting any fancy prices.

time. The subject for discussion was
chrysanthemums, of which there was a
grand display, so great that the hall was
overcrowded and there was hardly room
to display them to advantage.

Among the exhibitors of cut blooms,
E. G. Hill Co., of Richmond, Ind., took
first place with a grand display. The
twenty or more varieties were all good,
and while all were not considered just the
thing by those growing cut flowers, the
balance were accepted as the correct
thing by the park and private gardeners
and all will be grown somewhere in Pitts-
burg next year.

The Pittsburg Bose & Carnation Co.
showed a vase of Detroyat, which was
considered the best appearing pink under
artificial light; Morton F. P^nt, Golden
Wedding, Appleton, Beatrice May, Mrs.
Duckham, Buckley, Alice Byron, Chad-
wick and Balfour. This was a most cred-
i|tttMe display and' some one remarked
that they must all be money makers or
Fred Burki would not grow them.

Schenley park had an exceptionally
fine lot of pot plants.

Walter James, gardener of the West-
ern Penitentiary, showed a bunch of
blooms grown inside the walls of the
penitentiary, in the smokiest part of the
«ity, and they were a credit. Mr. Falcon-
er says' Walter is one of his old boys
and deserved credit for being able to
grow stock, handicapped as he is.

Goodwin & Sons, Bridgeville, showed
Mrs. Robinson and Ivory, both good. Mr.
Jenkins, Mr. Peacock's gardener, had a
fine display jaT cut blooms. Jas. B.
Laughlin's gardener was there with his
collection and it was .creditable. Mr.
Frazer, gardener for H. C. Frick, had
quite a display, among them Miss Clay
Frick, which was well received. H.
Baggs,' of Sewickley, had a vase of mixed
chrysanthemums and a vase of roses. Mr.
Westhofif, of Allison park, had a vase of
mums and a vase of Robt. Craig carna-
tions with stems about sixteen inches
long, which were considered fine for this
time of year.

A \'i8itor from the east who was pres-
ent made a few remarks and expressed
astonishment that a club such as ours, in

a city as rich as Pittsburg, did not huve
enough enterprise to secure prizes and
get up a chrysanthemum show, and said
he had made it a rule to attend the east-
ern shows and would guarantee that if
our people would send such flowerr as
were shown at the club along with such
a bunch of carnations to the Philadelphia
show they would bring home prizes. It
sounded good to the members and tickled
a weak spot all right and is a safe thing
to say in a strange city. However, it is
hoped all Pittsburg readers will take
note of these remarks and get busy be-.
fore another year.

Various Notes.

Fred Burki left November 9, with his
family, for a few weeks in the south, vis-
iting his sister in "Virginia.

The Gude brothers, of Washington,
stopped in.t^is city on their way west to
pay a visft to the piftsbmg Itbsfe & Car-
nation Co., and say they were well re-
paid for the time and trouble.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Ritiii£ EjMtera Market

"I have never seen conditions worse."
That is the way one of our leading whole-
salers summed up the situation. Another
said: "There are no prices." Perhaps
the best way to convey an adequate idea
of the situation is to say that there are
enough chrysanthemums alone to do -all
the business, without any of the other
flowers. When it is considered that there
are heavy crops of a variety of other
flowers coming into the market the de-
plorable conditions can be realized. The
social season has not commenced in ear-
nest; the weather has been open; many
of the buyers have their own greenhouses
and these houses are now producing
abundant crops; the money market suf-
fered a temporary reverse. All these
causes combine to explain the unfortu-
nate conditions.

The average price of chrysanthemums
does not exceed half that of last season,
which was, however, very high. Another
condition which contributes to the de-
pression is that the fakers, usually re-
lied upon to dispose of poor stock, have
been ruled off the streets, but few of
them doing business now. Double vio-
lets are selling fairly well, and Beauties
are also in moderate demand. Tea roses
are not in demand, excepting a few of
the fancies. Carnations, chrysanthemums
and possibly single violets have suffered
most. Callas have made their appearance.
Snapdragon can also be had in limited
quantity.

A New Project.

One of our brightest business men has
suggested that the usefulness of the an-
nual autumn exhibition of the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society might be
greatly extended by paying especial at-
tention to its educational features treated
from a commercial standpoint. His sug-
gestion is that at least a portion of the
hall be devoted to decorations and deco-
rative effects; for instance, that the
stairway be decorated in ballroom style,
that the foyer be used to further carry
out this idea, either arranged as an ex-
liibition room or in such other way as the
committee might decide, and that a din-
ner or luncheon table be handsomely

adorned with flowers as well as plate,
silverware, glass and napery. To carry
out this plan he proposes that a guaran-
teed fund of $500 be contributed by ten
business men, $50 each. With this fund
the committee appointed by the society
could draw up specifications and ask for
bids from a few of our leading retailers.
The acceptance of the lowest responsible
bid will place this work entirely in the
hands of one man, who will then be able
to carry it out effectively and harmoni-
ously. The originator of this idea be-
lieves it will stimulate interest in the ex-
hibition and create a more intelligent de-
mand for artistic arrangements. Any
florists who are willing to 'aid in this
proposed plan with a view to carrying it
out next season are invited to communi-
cate with Phil, care of any of the whole-
sale, commission, seed or supply houses.
Should a suflScxent number of subscribers
be secured the matter will be placed be-
fore the Pennsylvania Horticultural So-
ciety for action with a view to put the
plan in effect at the show next fall.

The Park Show.

The annual chrysanthemum exhibition,
held at Horticultural hall, in Fairmount
park, was opened to the public November
9. The east end of the main hall, with
its wings, embracing a space of about
40x200, was devoted to the exhibition,
the queen of autumn being the only
flower used. The east end is laid out as
in a greenhouse, with center and two
side benches, separated oy two wide
walks. At each end the wing is broader
than the balance of the house. These
wings are completely filled with a mass
of chrysanthemums, arranged on staging
rising from the ground to a height of ten

or twelve feet at the back, forming a
complete color picture of perhaps 20x40
feet. The landscape gardener, Oglesby
B. Paul, with an artist's eye for effect,
willed that the various shades of pink
and the whites should go in one wing,
while the yellows, with a few reds, are
in the other. Between are groups of solid
or varied colors and long spaces of well
grown foliage plants, with a specimen
chrysanthemum here and there. The ef-
fect of the whole is most beautiful, well
calculated to increase the love for flowers
in every visitor's heart.

I was fortunate in finding the superin-
tendent, Xavier E. Schmitt, who ex-
plained his aims and methods. The bulk
of the stock is grown indoors throughout
the summer, although, as space is at a
premium, a certain number of plants are
grown outdoors of the varieties that will
thrive there best. The houses being
rather low and mass effects being de-
sired, made-up plants are frequently
used, plants from 3l^-inch pots being
made up, fourteen or sixteen in a 16-inch
pan; lesser numbers in smaller sizes.
These plants are given but little support,
the stakes used being kept low, so that
not a stake is visible when they are in
position and the flowers have a grace im-
possible to attain in carefully trained
specimens. This grace adds an indescrib-
able charm to the whole effect.

The varieties used are chiefly standard
sorts. Golden Wedding is still consid-
ered the best yellow. Col. Appleton,
Golden Age and Mrs. W. Duckham are
other good yellows. The leading whites
are Mutual Friend, Alice Byron and
Mrs. H. Weeks. The pinks are Maud
Dean, Doctor Enguehard and William
Duckham. Charles H. Miller, named after

the landscape gardener who was in
charge from the Centennial until his
<leath a few years ago, is still grown,
partly as a token of respect, I fancy.
There were many other varieties too nu-
merous to mention, all well grown, the
flowers of good size and well colored.

An enormous number of persons, esti-
mated at over 15,000, visited this show
on the opening day, Sunday. While the
attendance fell oflf on the following days,
good judges estimate that it will increase
■each Sunday until the close, which will
probably be on or about December 1.
The value of the exhibition from an edu-
•cational standpoint cannot be overesti-
mated.

Various Notes.

The November meeting of the German-
town Horticultural Society was held No-
vember 11. Edwin Mathews spoke on
* ' Hardy Chrysanthemums. ' ' He was sup-

ported by Ernest Hemming. The exhibi-
tion was fine. John H. Sibson, gardener
to Mrs. Thomas McKean, captured most
of the chrysanthemum prizes. Meehan &
Sons, Frank Gould, Peter McGowan,
Charles Thompson and others made good
showings.

Benjamin Dorrance, of Dorranceton,
Pa., was in town recently. It is under-
stood that Mr. Dorrance came here to
call on Mrs. Jardine.

P. J. Lynch, of West Grove, Pa., was
in the city November 9. Mr. Lynch vis-
ited some of the wholesale centers, but
stated that he was not here on business.

Charles Thomas, formerly a florist do-
ing business in the old Baldwin place
on Chestnut street, is now a curbstone
merchant in cut flowers.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. received 200
oases of red immortelle wreaths by the
S. S. Macedonia.

The Attalea Cohune oil palm, a native

of Honduras, in Horticultural hall, Fair-
mount park, is one of the finest speci-
mens in the country. It came from the
Kingston Botanic Gardens^in 1876 in a
4-inch pot ana was planted out in its
present position in 1888.

M. Rice & Co. have received one of
their largest importations of choice
Christmas immortelles. Their new Christ-
mas cowbell is a most promising novelty.

A Philadelphia & Beading railway
train struck a wagon belonging to H.
Bayersdorfer & Co. at Eleventh and Wil-
low streets one day last week. The
driver was injured and the wagon shat-
tered. The horses escaped.

W. E. McEassick will remove from his
present location at 1221 Filbert street to
1619 and 1621 Banstead street next week.

Miss P. A. Baker, of Media, Pa., is
cutting some choice Maj. Bonnaffon
chrysanthemums. They were seen at John
Mclntyre's.

The Henry F. Michell Co. has supplied
all the bulbs used in the local squares,
notably Independence, Logan and Ritten-
house, many of those in Fairmount park,
and in the parks and squares of Harris-
burg, Reading and Washington, D. C. In
addition to this all the bulbs forced in
the White Houss greenhouses have been
furnished by this enterprising house.

In going over the convention notes I
find that no mention has-been made in
this column of the valuable souvenir, in
the shape of a good knife, which was pre-
sented by H. Bayersdorfer & Co. to each
of their guests when he registered.

Another advance of 10 cents a ton
was made in the price of anthracite buck-
wheat coal by some of the collieries No-
vember 11.

E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., has
reached this city with two of his new
roses, Rhea Reid and Princess.

Onion sets at Chicago are now stored
for winter, in most cases, and are in ex-
cellent keeping condition. There is a
tendency among some of the storers to
double up too much in order to save
warehouse space. This is unwise econ-
omy, because when too many sets are
crowded into a tray they heat easily and
cause a loss that soon eats up any gain
that might come from lessened expendi-

acreages this year at Chicago. This ac-
counts for the stacks of empty trays.

The last meeting of the Wholesale
Seedsmen's League has helped out some-
what on the price question, but the un-
fortunate circumstance that only a sec-
tional view of the situation is taken at
the League meetings is thought by some
to lessen the general value of its price
lists.

Canners ' varieties of peas are still in
strong demand and prices are advancing
proportionately. The Leonard Seed Co.,
Chicago, reports sales of Advancers at
$5.50, Horsfords at $5.50 and Alaskas at
$4:50 for car lots; smaller sales propor-
tionately higher. When a carload of peas
brings $5,000 there is a pleasure in doing
business, the seedsmen say.

Little can be added to former reports
regarding beans. Considerable activity
in threshing and cleaning is reported
from some of the stations, but there still
remains a large portion of the crop in
the straw and it will be some weeks be-
fore definite information of the shortage
or otherwise of any given variety will be
known. It looks from the returns so far
that shortages will be the rule, however.

The onion seed perennial question is
still to the front. A careful canvass of
the set growers who harvested seed of
their own shows that the harvest with
them is not what was expected. Those
who have kad the best luck are shy some
few pounds of their estimated needs for
next year's sowings and they are out to
buy it if it can be secured. A $2 per

pound price frightens them somewhat,
but they will come to it if they have to.
The mongrel yellow from south of the
Ohio river will answer if none other is to
be had, but for a pure Red they seem to
be up against it, as the scarcity of seed
of this color is distressing. Seed of the
Globe sorts, excepting White, is not hard
to locate.

Michigan grown radish seed, what
there is of it, is reported to be of good
sized grain and well matured. Growers
report that the past season was the worst
for weeds that they have experienced for
many years and that consequently the
cleaning of the seed after it was threshed
was an experience they do not care to
have repeated. The profits of the crop
to them amount to so little that they

This beautiful novelty was obtained from seed raised from Ampel(n)EiB Veitchii.

The older leaves in summer are of a dark metallic green, brightening to a freab apple
green toward the extremities, and changing with the season to a warm tint in autumn.

In size the leaves are small, beautifully, dentate, and the edges, being prettily crimped,
give a very pleasing etTect to the eye, when the plant is growing on a wall or rambling over
a pillar, column or an old tree stump.

This charming novelty clings closely and, growing as it does, rapidly, speedily covers,
although the individual growths are so ' lacey" in appearance.

These facts were borne out by the crop

INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE.

A Factor Often Disregarded.

The producer of garden vegetables and
flowers, who grows them for profit, is
generally disposed to lay blame upon
the seedsman for all departures from de-
sired types, but the thoroughly practical
seed grower, who most intensely watches
the development of his plants from the
seedling stage up to full maturity, ob-
serving every unusual change in tem-
perature and moisture, or in manurial
or soil effects, bringing about a corre-
sponding variation in form, color, text-
ure and flavor, if in the case of vegeta-
bles or fruits, knows enough to place
the blame, most generally, on natural
causes. Generally variation in a few
individuals comes from the good or bad
influence of heredity, but when varia-
tion covers an entire field, it is either
from bad seed or some local influence of
climate or soil.

While variation, generally in the di-
rection of retrogression, is undesirable,
it is well that there is a tendency to
change characteristics of form, color and
flavor, as if it were not, then very few
novel vegetables, fruits or flowers would
exist, as twenty to one new introduc-
tions have been obtained by seizing upon
ushance natural developments and not by
the practice of cross-breeding, as so gen-
erally claimed by some in the seed busi-
ness.

This freak development, or "sport-
ing," as it is termed, generally in-
duced by climatic checks, will forever
continue, not the result alone of acci-
dental cross-poUenization in the field,
but in the great majority of cases the
outcropping of earlier forms, if not
sometimes the most primitive conditions.
Take the ears of pod corn, for exam-
ple, sometimes found in the fields of
the highest bred stock.

The general merchant selling seeds in
city or country is not a student of vege-
table physiology, and when he receives a
complaint from one of his agricultural
customers he at once flies to the con-
clusion that the seedsman, has robbed
th«n both, and he sits down and writes
an ill-considered letter.

Weather Influeoce on Cabbage.

As an illustration of weather influ-
ences, the writer points to observations
of the last summer in the Bloomsdale
trial grounds, where, among other things,
there were two trial patches of cabbage,
100 samples of 100 plants each, both
patches duplicates of each other, but
the second set out in the field eight
weeks after the first. The season was a
freaky one throughout and, as would be
expected by any student of plant growth,
the results were very conflicting. With
these two cabbage patches, those kinds
as a rule which were the best in the
early patch were among the worst in the
late patch, and those which were first

condemned gave satisfaction on the late
trial.

Suppose instead of one observer hav-
ing both these patches of cabbage, the
fields were under the observation of two
different men at distant points. In this
case each would draw opposite conclu-
sions and neither be right.

Just at present, through the river
bottoms of eastern Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, where extensive fields of
cabbage are grown, some hidden climatic
influence which has prevailed has most
mysteriously retarded the anticipated
development of thousands of acres of
cabbage. They are apparently in full
health, but are growing slowly, although
there has been plenty of rain, so neces-
sary to cabbage; and so it goes, the
plans of men and mice oft go astray,
and this old Scotch thought is noticed
especially by the tillers of the soil.

This retarded condition of the growth of
cabbage doee not apply to the high land
districts of Pennsylvania.

Vadatlon With Onioiu.

Again, of two large fields of Yellow
Strasburg onion seed drilled for sets,
one patch planted the middle of April
made perfect sets, while, with the same
seed, the other field, sown two weeks
later, all went to stage or thick necks.

Another case with onion seed: Two
fields sown for onion sets by neighbors
on contract, each sown with identical
seed, but at intervals of ten days, pro-
duced in the one case a perfect develop-
ment of plants and raised an enormous
crop, five or six bushels to every pound
drilled, but in the other, a three-acre
field, because of a pelting rainfall, re-
sulted in an absolute failure to germi-
nate; a failure so great as to warrant
the ploughing up of the field and the
sacrifice of 300 pounds of seed.

On Bloomsdale two fields of cucumbers
of the same sort, and out of the same
bag, planted side by side, one planted
in May, the other in June, were, the
early one a complete success, and an ab-
solute failure as respects the later
planted.

With root crops there is a great vari-
ation in shape and texture under differ-
ent conditions of temperature and rain-
fall, and with spinach under favorable
conditions it will be of such a deep
green and rampant growth as to seem
of an entirely distinct breed from plants
from the same seed grown without the
necessary amount of water.

Cauliflower aod Bgs Plant*

Cauliflower is largely dependent for
successful culture on climatic condi-
tions. It flourishes best when under the
influences of salt air, as on the coast.
Yet salt air, or any form of irrigation, is
not always a necessity, for altitude
seems to take its place, cauliflower doing
well on the sides of many mountains
when it proves an absolute failure in the
bottoms of valleys within sight.

For some years there has been sold
seed of the so-called High Bush egg
plant, a form which, because of its
growth in Florida, has acquired an ex-
ceedingly rampant habit; but why not
take the seed grown upon the island of
Trinidad, where the climatic influence
has changed the modest vine of the north,
twenty-four inches high, to a tree of
eight feet or moret Both the Florida
and Trinidad varieties have been in-
creased alone by climatic variations.

Many of the showy sorts of field corn
grown under the favorable climatic in-
fluence of the southwest, have often
been brought north, but they always dis-
appoint, as the effort of growth is not
to make ears of grain, but to make tall
stalks and broad leaves. Indeed, corn
brought from a point only 100 miles
south will often bring great disappoint-
ment, as the grain on the ears seldom
hardens before frost.

Cantaloupes.

Thousands of tourists visiting southern
Europe and western Asia, especially
Persia, for in this latter country espe-
cially the cantaloupe is found in great
perfection, oibserve that many times they
are superior to those often obtained at
home; but of all the various experi-
mental lots of foreign seed brought to
America, not in one case out of twenty
has the fruit produced been fit to eat.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

NUVKMBICU 14, 1007.

This is entirely climatic, as these va-
rieties show some tendency to improve
after a number of years of continued
culture; but as before said, a man ig-
norant of these things, be he merchant
or gardener, is a diflScult animal with
which to reason.

Cantaloupes grown on the line of the
farthest point north where they will
ripen are well known to be especially
.sugary, and just so with sugar corn:
the sweetest often is obtained from a
point north of the observer. Scientific
men say this is by reason of the actinic
influence of northern regions.

The intelligent gardener recognizes all
these variations of plants, either phys-
ical (that is, from heredity), or from cli-
matic influences, but all gardeners are
not intelligent. General merchants are
not seedsmen, nor are they gardeners;
consequently they cannot be expected to
understand the conditions of unusual
heat and cold, excessive rain or drought,
still less of electrical influences, which
students of agriculture claim exercise a
great influence in the growth of plants.

HOW PRICES COMPARE,

In the advance wholesale price list is-
sued November 6 W. Atlee Burpee & Co.,
Philadelphia, say : ' ' Never before in our
experience, covering over thirty years,
have we gone through such a growing
season as the one just closed. As every
one knows, we had not only practically
no spring, but the summer season was
unusually short. As early as June we
began to realize that crops of most kinds
would fall below the average in yield,
and felt that it was absolutely necessary
to have our representatives travel almost
constantly among the growers, that we
might keep posted."

The list quotes Alaska pea at $4.25 as
against $3.50 a year ago '; American Won-
der, $5, against $4.75 last year; Large
Red Wethersfield, $1.85, as against $1.25
a year ago; Southport White Globe,
$3.50, as against $2.75; White Spine
cucumber, 55 cents, against 40 cents a

$6.25, as against $4.75, and many other
items in proportion, but some beans are
lower. No quotations are given on sugar

new crop showing no surplus in any sort,
a possibility of covering momentary
wants will be keenly felt. I therefore
strongly advise early buying as oppor-
tunity occurs.

"Clovers suffered also considerably
from the bad weather; so much so that
only restricted crops can be expected.
Red clover has only produced small quan-
tities in the chief districts. Other small-
er places will yield better, but the aver-
age crop in Europe will not be more than
a poor medium one. America appears
to have a small yield and is already a
buyer from Europe."

The Market

The Review will send Smith's Mum
Manual for 40 cents.

The Eeview gives its advertisers quick
results.^^. I^M) Batjerle, Lansing,
Mich.

Trade was good last week, with the
supply of flowers plentiful. We are
having warm weather for this time of
year and this is bringing out the blooms
more quickly.

Carnations are now coming in of good
quality. They retail for 35 cents and
50 cents per dozen. A few Winsor car-
nations are seen. This is a grand sort.
They bring just now 60 cents per dozen
retail.

Late varieties of mums are now com-
ing in and by Thanksgiving will be
about done. Some nice Dr. Enguehard
are also seen; $2 and $3 per dozen re-
tail is the price asked. B. H. "Wood-
house will have a fine lot of Jeanne No-
nin for Thanksgiving.

Boses are fine; $1.50 and $2 per
dozen retail is the price. Violets are
a glut on the market just now. One
grower here is selling them at 50 cents
per hundred. This hurts the sale at
the stores. One dollar per hundred is
the general retail price. Funeral work
is very good, using up lots of stock.

Various Notes.

S. S. Peckham, who formerly kept a
store in this city, has now gone into
carnation growing exclusively. He has a
great many varieties, and is especially
heavy on "Winsor, the new carnation orig-
inated here. Oine of his most profit-
able sorts, he says, is the good old Joost.
Queen Louise does well with him, as also
the Queen, a good white. One of the
features of the Peckham place is the
large water tank, which holds some 10,-
000 gallons of water. This is gotten
from a spring fifteen feet deep on the
place.

The regular monthly meeting of the
New Bedford Horticultural Society was
held November 11. Ladies invited. The
topic for discussion was * * Mums Indoors
and Outdoors." W. L.

All the plants contained in the green-
houses of the J. N. Hodgson Co., bank-
rupt, were disposed of at auction Novem-
ber 4. There were present at the sale a
number of buyers, but their number did
not in the least interfere with the secur-
ing of unheard-of bargains in plants.
An idea of the ridiculously low prices
ruling at the sale may be had from the
fact that kentias in large and small lots
in 3%-inch and 4-inch pots sold for less
than 1 cent each, while large plants sold
at equally low figures. Joseph Leikens,
Oscar Schultz, V. A. Vanicek, Carl Jur-
geus, Gibson Bros., Samuel Smith and
D. Mcintosh were the heaviest' buyers.
"While the sale of plants was in progress
and conducted by G. C. O'Neill, the real
estate on which the greenhouses and oth-
er property stand was also put up for
sale by another auctioneer and knocked
down to Mr. Spaulding for a trifle over
$11,000.

About a month ago the gardening
fraternity was surprised by the an-
nouncement that Alex Adam was vacat-
ing his position as superintendent for
Alfred Vanderbilt at Oakland Farm.
This week we were again taken un-
awares by the announcement that W.
Butter, who officiates in a like capacity
for Reginald Vanderbilt, will after De-
cember 1 no longer hold that position.

THE HINCKLEY PLACE.

The accompanying illustrations of C.
B. Hinckley 's place give an idea • f what
is being done by the truck gardeners in
the Cleveland district. These three new
connected houses, each 30x140, were
erected under the supervision of Mr.
Hinckley. The heating is done by hot
water, using a Kroeschell boiler, and the
watering scheme is a direct pressure sys-

within two feet of the engine on either
side.

"When asked as to the cost of gasoline
for operating this pump, Mr. Hinckley
said that it was such a small amount that
he really never took notice of it, and if
gasoline got too high he wotfld simply run
his natural gas pipe over and connect it
to the engine, as it is made to use both
kinds of fuel at once if necessary.

This small farm of ten acres, practical-
ly all of which is undsr cultivation, is
sending into the Cleveland market some
of the finest of vegetables, and it is a
good example of what modern appliances,
coupled with intelligent effort, can accom-
plish toward the success of life. Owing
to the difficulty in obtaining materials,
Mr. Hinckley was somewhat delayed in
getting started this spring, and up till
April 1 had kept little track of what had
been delivered from these houses. Since
April 1, however, a reasonably accurate

Standard Pumpiog Engine and TaUring System at C B. Hinckley's.

record shows that the^e houses shipped
out 731 18-pound boxes of lettuce to
May 30, 330 peck baskets of tomatoes
from June 28 to August 24, 6,336 cucum-
bers from June 26 to August 26, and
over 3,000 tomato plants. Owing to the
fact that the season about Cleveland was
very backward, these greenhouse toma-
toes brought good prices until the houses
were entirely cleaned out for the begin-
ning of the fall lettuce growing, which is
now well under way. The first crop is
already being marketed.

Those of the trade who are interested
in this line of work will receive a cordial
welcome from Mr. Hinckley if they
should call to see his establishment, as
he is much pleased with his equipment.

NITRATE OF SODA ON LETTUCE.

Wil^ you kindly state what quantity
of subnitrate of soda should be put into
a 40-gallon barrel of water to water let-
tuce with? J. M. T.

For a barrel about the size mentioned
above, I would advise using only a
3-inch pottul of nitrate of soda. You
might use more without injury, but if
sprinkled on the foliage it might serious-
ly injure the crop if much stronger.
It is better to use it in weak solution
and oftener, but it is a strong fertilizer
and should not be used very often. Much
depends upon what plant food is already
in the soil. If rotted manure is liberally
used in making up the beds before plant-
ing, other fertilizers are not so necessary.

tern, using Skinner nozzles and having a
two horse-power Standard pumping en-
gine, taking the water from the cistern
reservoir and pumping it directly into the
pipe lines, fitted with spray nozzles. There
are two of these water lines in each
house, having valves in the mains so that
any part of tne system c&n be operated
independently. As the pumping engine
has an automatic safety valve, there is no
danger of breaking the machine or pipes,
even if it should happen that all the
valves should be closed at one time. This
is a very desirable feature in greenhouse
work where there are no storage tanks,
for the small plants which follow up the
crop just pulled sometimes require water
before all of them are set out and this is
done with a hose so that only certain sec-
tions are wet down at one time, leaving
the other ground dry for continuing the
setting. For work of this kind the fau-
cets may be opened or closed as required,
and the safety valve in the pump will al-
low the engine to run without wasting
any water or spilling it over the floor,
but the water will be at the faucet at any
time it is opened. One of the illustra-
tions shows how little space his pumping
plant requires, as the lettuce is grown

LETTUCE UNDER CLOTH.

Please tell me how to grow lettuce un-
der cloth, in this Georgia climate. I
am shading through the brightest days
and fastening the cloth down during the
coldest nights. Is that right? My
frames are 11x62, out in the open
ground. What temperature will it stand
and what temperature does it require for
growing! The plants are starting to
head. Is there any danger of running
up to seed and how shall I prevent it?

A. F. C.

In regard to growing lettuce in your
latitude, I do not feel that I could safely
give much advice, but would not think
it necessary to cover it at all at night,
as lettuce will do well if held little above
freezing, 40 to 45 degrees being the best
night temperature and about 15 or 20
degrees higher in the daytime. Perhaps
it would be best to place thermometers
in the beds to get some idea of how the
temperature runs. If the sun is very
warm it is well to shade a little through
the hottest part of the day, but whatever
is used for shade should be removed
early in the afternoon.

There is little danger of the heads
bursting if they are cut and sold when
ready, without leaving too long. Well
rotted manure should be spaded into the
beds before planting each crop.

The Market

There has been a great improvemeijt in
the movement of all kinds of stock since
last week. Mums of course hold the lead,
with carnations a close second. Roses

DETROIT.

The Market

The condition of the market remains
about the same as when last reported.
The first part of the week beginning No-
vember 4 was rather a dull one with the
retail trade in this city, but toward the
end of the week it livened up consider-
ably. The stringency of the money mar-
ket is probably to blame for this. There
are many debutantes for this coming
season and also several large balls that
should create some business.

The first snow of this season covered
the ground and trees with a beautiful
coat of white last Sunday nigtit.

Considerable stock piled up last week,
but mostly the poorer grade of stuif and
yellow mums. There are none too many
good mums on the market at present;
most of the stock is small. In roses we
have good Kaiserin, La Detroit, Killar-
ney, Richmond, Meteor, Bride and Maid.
Carnations move fairly well; much me-
dium grade white is piled up, owing to
the little funeral work. Green is plenti-
ful and in good demand.

dub Meeting.

The last meeting of the Detroit Flo-
rists' Club was held November 6. The
attendance was comparatively small. The
clubroom has been nicely redecorated in
pale blue and gold, making a pleasant
meeting place. Owing to the absence of
the secretary the minutes of the last
meeting were not read. The election of
new members was also postponed.

There was no regular subject assigned
for the evening. The recent trip to
Mount Clemens was thoroughly discussed.
The general opinion was that the chry-
santhemums seen this year do not com-
pare Mrith those of former years; the
flowers are small and the stems are short
and in some cases weak. The violet crop
this year looks better than for some time.

The discussion then went over into
soils and fertilizers, in which President
Scribner is much interested. The presi-
dent had Hugo Schroeter take the chair
while he talked of his experiences.
Messrs. Dilger, Carey, Unger, Knope,
otc, also told considerable about soil in
a long talk that followed.

Variottt Notck

The assistant park commissioner, Wm.
Dilger, spent several days in Paines-
ville, O., last week, in quest of some
fancy evergreens for the park system.

B. Schroeter, who now has the largest
single show window among the retail
stores in this city, had a beautiful orchid
display in the window last week. The
background was made up of purple beech
branches and hanging irom the ceiling
were many plants of fine cattleyas and
oncidiums. On either side was a group
of ferns and palms, with orchids between
the whole, making a fine effect.

Messrs. Breitmeyer, Carey and Stock
attended the show at Chicago. H. S.

TE^eddy Florists' Review.

November 14, 1907.

PACIFIC COAST.

Walla Walla, Wash. — A flower store
was opened November 9 by , Fred ^M.
Young, at 7 East Main street. Mr. Young
has been a^ employee of Martin &
Forbes, at Portland, Ore., and has been
in the trade for the last fifteen years.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The Ikst week was a strenuous one
with the florists, both retailers and
wholesalers. The entire town thought
of but little else than the municipal
election. The excitement had a depress-
ing effect on all kinds of business and
the flower sellers had to suffer with the
rest. But, from general opinions, the
best man won and by a handsome major-
ity, so that portion of the trouble has
been lived through and from appearances
we will have better business to ohronicle
next week.

^ The attitude of the banks in their
disinclination to allow customers to draw
more than a nominal amount from their
accounts, also has had the effect of
keeping things down to a cash basis, and
although this may be a good idea from
a financial standpoint, it makes the poor
retailer wish that such things could be
regulated without the necessity of his
having to take the short end.

However, such things cannot last for
an indefinite time. Already the horizon
is clearing and, with the municipal elec-
tions out of the way, there is no reason
why San Francisco should not soon ex-
perience a partial return of the good
times that characterized the city before
the fire changed the general plans of
everybody and everything.

Various Notes.

J. J. O'Connor has given up his store
on Devisadero street and Golden Gate
avenue.

E. Lacazette, of Elmhurst, is cutting
heavily from his new range of rose
houses. His stock of Kaiserin is in
splendid shape at this time.

P. J. Thorsted & Co., of Fruitvale,
are cutting largely of Enchantress and
other high-class stock.

D. Raymond, of San Jose, is in town.
Mr. Raymond reports the demand for
flower pots exceptionally heavy.

Chas. Butler is on a three weeks' visit
to Los Angeles and San Diego.

F. Morris, formerly a well-known
landscape gardener of San Jose, has re-
moved to Oakland, where he will follow
the same lines of work. G.

MARIN COUNTY FLOWER SHOW.

The Marin County Horticultural So-
city gave a largo exhibition at San
Rafael October 26 in Armory hall. The
weather was not the most pleasant, but
that did not prevent the exhibition from
being crowded with flower lovers. Much
credit is due to John Martin, J. F. Boyd,
A. W. Foster and others for generous
assistance. The entire front of the hall
was occupied by the display of H.
Schlueter, of the Laurel Grove Nursery.
It represented a semicircular pyramid of
f^ms, chrysanthemums, gladioli and
tknnas. The display attracted much at-
tention, but was not entered in the com-
petition.

FOUR GOOD CANNAS.

The Eoyal Horticultural Society, of
England,' has been conducting a trial of
cannas at its Wisley garden. At a meet-
ing of the floral committee September 6
awards of merit were recommended to
four varieties not previously recognized,
as follows:

Venus. — A fine flower of a soft shade
of rose, with mottling of white around
the' margin .of the segments. Height of
plant, two feet six inches.

Hesperide. — The flowers of this variety
are orange or orange-red and are equal to
the best of this type. Height of plant,
two feet six inches.

Duke of York-. — This variety is one
that failed to get an award at a previous
inspection. The flowers are of a dull
shade of magenta, but have brigj^t yellow
margins. The foliage is green and th<»
plants have a sturdy growth, scarcely two
feet in height.

Burbank. — This variety is in general
cultivation, Iput has not previously been
given an award. The flowers are of large
size, but somewhat lacking in substance.
The color is canary yellow, with sparse
red spotting.

Remarks were again made upon the
good cultivation seen in the cannas gen-
erally, and on a question being addressed
to Mr, Wright as to the kind of manure
that had been applied to the plants, it
was elicited that exclusive use had been
made of Peruvian guano.

A varjely that can be easily grown

Delicious fragrance

Distinct, pleasing color that will sell

A Rose that will hold its color in the
dull days of January

MRS. JARDINE has all these char-
acteristics, and in addition is of so
perfect a form that it can be used
either in the bud or half expanded
flower. (See illustration, page 9,
Florists' Review, Oct. 31.) The
color is bright rosy pink, shading in
the outer petals to salmon pink, and
even in January when Bridesmaids
and Killamey lose their color, Mrs.
•Jardine is as bright as in October
or March.

Mrs. Jardine is not a chance seed-
ling, but was raised by Messrs. Alex-
ander Pickson & Sons,Newtownards,
Ireland. This firm has not only
given us Liberty and Killamey, but
has sent out more new Roses of
merit than any other Rosarians in
the world. Over two years ago we
spent three weeks in their trial
grounds, and from three thousand
seedlings we selected thirty-five va-
rieties that we thought would be
successful in this country for winter
forcing. After testing these for two years we have selected one — MRS. JARDINE — which has with us, and
which we think will with all good rose growers, fulfil all the qualities as stated above. »»w i

We extend a cordial invitation to every one interested in this New Rose to visit our Nurseries and see
it growing. We have it both own roots and grafted i)lants, and in all stages of growth. As the demand
for this superb novelty will be very large, kindly place your orders early, as we fill in rotation in March, 1908.

C. M. Hobbs, Brtdreport, Ind.; 8ec'y, &«o. C.
Searer, BochMter; Treas., C. L. Yates, ttoebea-
ter. The 8M annual cooventlon will M held at
Milwaukee, June, 1908.

The Indian summer has been excep-
tionally favorable for autumn planting
operations.

W. H. Von Bayer, of the United
States Forestry Departpieut, is making
preparations to establish an extensive
nursery for foirest trees just outside' of
Chatham, Mich. Several species of pine
and spruce will be propagated, and the
first lot of ?,000,000 seedling trees will
be used for reforesting some of the
■ sandy soils near Coalwood, in that county.

R. A. Jones, proprietor of the River-
side nursery in Spokane, spent a pcfrtidn
of last week looking ovei the prospects
for a nursery in the vicinity of Brewster,
Wash. He was well pleased with the
outlook and selected 100 acres of land on
the Riverview acreage, below town, for
the site of his new enterprise. It is esti-
mated that 1,000 acres of fruit-treeff will
be set out in the vicinity of Brewster
next spring.

HALE'S INTERESTS.

The annual stockholders' meeting of
the Chattooga County Fruit Tree Co.,
at Summerville, Ga., was held in Chatta-
nooga, Tenn., November 7. Postmaster
'' J. C. Hale, of Winchester, was re-
elected president ; F. S. Carter, of Sweet-
water, -vice-president ; Ed W. Sturdivant,
of Summerville, general manager, and
J. E. Ram£iey, of Chattanooga, secre-
tary and treasurer. >•

There are about twenty stockholders
m the company, but only ten were pres-
ent. The company has at Summerville,
Qa., an orchard 6f 3,000 acres and be-
tween 200,000 and 300,000 Alberta peach
trees bearing peaches. J. C. HaJe is
proprietor of the Tennessee Wholesale
Nurseries, one of the largest peach tree
nurseries in the world. Besides, ho
owns individually a 200-acre peach or-
chard out seven miles from Winchester,
near Tullahoma. Mr. Hale is a wealthy
man and is one of the most influential
citizens of Franklin county. He is a
man who has worked himself up step
by step until today he is one of the best
business men in this section of the state.

SAN JOSE SCALE.

Thrt'e are now a number of remedies
on the market for San Jose scale. One
I have tried with good results is Scale-
cide, manufactured by the B. G. Pratt
Mfg. Co. This is a soluble petroleum-
like oil which, when added to twenty
times its bulk of water and sprayed
thoroughly through a Vermorel or other
nozzle, kills the scale without injuring
the tree. There are several other simi-
lar insecticides now on the market.

The sovereign remedy for San Jose
scale until recently has been the lime,
sulphur and salt wash. The proportions
of the various ingredients are: Stone
lime, fifteen to thirty pounds; flowers of
sulphur, fifteen pounds ; salt, ■ fifteen
pounds ; water, fifty gallons. Slake the
lime in a small quantity of hot wa^,
gradually adding the sulphur and fbor-
oughly mixing it. Dilute this mixture

an iron kettle or cook by steam in a cov-

Then add the salt, boiling half an hour
longer. Fill up the vessel to the required
tifty gallons. If cooked by steam the
wash is more easily prepared and better
made. The liquid requires straining
through a fine mesh before being ap-
plied and must always be sprayed on
the trees while hot. The best time to
spray is in spring, just as the buds begin
to swell. Every branch and twig must
be well coated.

recommend -washing the trees with strong
kerosene emulsion. Bub it well into all
the main stems and spray thoroughly
over the femaller branches. The petro-
leum remedies are preferable to the lime
and sulphur wash if properly applied. If
you have one tree badly affected and
others clean, better burn the one with
the scale and spray the others as sug-
gested.

The San Jose scale is the most serious
pest attacking trees and shrubs in Amer-
ica today. It has a special fondness for
all the members of the rosacea; family,
but does not confine its attacks to that
natural order. Hydrocyanic acid gas is
tbe only remedy which clears out this
pest in short order. It can, of course,
only be applied when the trees are in
sheds or greenhouses. In California
covers are placed over the orange trees

FOR IBIMIDIATS SHIPMENT

The right time to buy Roses is when they are fresh and well rinened. Roses potted up in
the fall or wlnttr become better established and force better, and are far m >re satisfactory
in every way, and you can retard aud iorce ai your leisure. We recommend American-giown
Ramblers. Don't attempt to force imported Ramblers; the general experfence is that they
are a failure.

We offer exceptionally strong two- year-old dormant, low-budded stock (on Manetti), in
the following varieties, true to name:

BALTIMORE.

The Market

It is rather diflScult to give the reader
tlie exact condition of the market. Some
are satisfied and some are almost dis-
gusted. Our store windows are well
decorated and the market stalls are filled
with blooms and have the appearance of
doing a rushing business. However, it
is true they could take care of a great
deal more and handle it with ease. Elec-
tion day was dull. The stir in the money
market has had little effect here.

Chrysanthemums are overabundant and
prices low. Roses are plentiful and sell-
ing extremely cheap for this time of the
year. Carnations are beginning to be
plentiful. Violets are coming in fair
quantities. Callas are coming in slowly.
Greens of all kinds are enough to meet
the demand.

Variofii Notes.

George Fox, Jones Station, Md., is
erecting a new house, 22x100 feet.

James Smith, who was established at
Lansdowne, Md., has given up the flo-

THE NEW CARNATION

AFTERGLOW

HWJE beg to announce that we will offer to the trade, the coming season of 1907 and 1908, the new carnation
iff* AFTERGLOW, a variety of sterling merit, which is destined to be grown as universally as the Lawson in
f^^^ its time, as it has done exceedingly well wherever it has been tried— in six different sections of the country—
the Far East, West and Middle States— and all report it as an "Ideal" commercial variety, grand in every
way. It won the S. A. F. Silver Medal, for the best flower or plant, at the Monthly Exhibition of the Cincinnati
Floral Exhibition in 1906, and scored 91 points at quite a number of exhibitions held in different cities in the United
States. It has never failed to score wherever shown. It scored' the highest of any seedlings at the exhibition of the
American Carnation Society, held at Toronto in 1907, after reaching there twenty-four hours late from Framingham,
Mass. In color it is everything that the name implies— a brig^ht rosy cerise. In stem it excels any commercial
variety now extant, not excepting Enchantress, being somewhat longer and always rigid. Never weak, in habit it is
very vigorous, "a Grower's Delight," as it recuperates very readily after planting from the field; also from the sand.
It loses no time in getting to work. AFTERGLOW has been g^rown for the past season by the under-
signed and offered by them.

Orders no^y booked, to be filled in rotation for yyell gro'wn« well rooted
cuttings, at $2.00 per dozen; 818.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

New Carnation

Brilliant Scarlet

DEFIANCE

E^3HIS sterling novelty is the result of a cross between Estelle and a seedling
11^ with Maceo and Daybreak blood in it, and was originated by W. N. Rudd,
^^ Mount Greenwood, 111. The color is a most brilliant scarlet, brighter than
anything seen in Carnations heretofore; size, 3 inches and over; habit and form
ideal. It is a very rapid grower and has no tendency to produce surplus grass,
every shoot advancing rapidly and producing a perfect flower. If you did not
already place your order for some, we would advise you to do so without delay,
so as to get early delivery.

$12.00 per lOO; $IOO.OO per lOOO. Usual discount on larger orders. >

There may be other reds* but there is only one scarlet carnation, and
that is DEFIANCE. Come and see it growing, and be convinced.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Quietness still reigns in the Buffalo
market, due probably to the fact of
election, but this event does not stop
funeral trade and even this trade has
been quiet. Parties, however, are very
numerous and this branch helps out con-
siderably. Mums are still the leading
factor and will continue to be for some
time.

Various Notes.

S. A. Anderson has taken advantage
of the mum for a show flower and held
his annual show November 7 to 9. His
store is spacious and he filled every
available part and had good success.
He advertised the affair extensively and
kept a very attractive window of orchids,
etc., during the time.

Each year the call for donations in-
creases for the different bazaars and
fairs, until now someone is asking the
whole time. Each event has a flower
booth and, if possible, the booth is run
with stock procured gratis. They inform
you that so and so of the other store
has agreed to send a handsome lot and
at the same time point out why it is up
to you to do the same. No doubt it is
the same in every city, and something
will have to be done to eliminate it.

W. A. Adams was elected with little
trouble, but we are sorry to state that
W. F. Kasting was defeated for city
treasurer.

The Ever-Ready Pot Cover Co. is
placing its pot cover novelty on the mar-
ket for the coming winter. It is simple

time. R- A. S.

Oswego, N. Y. — A downtown flower
store has been opened by W. H. Work-
man at 21 West Bridge street.

GiRARD, Kax. — Sourdry Bros, are build-
ing an addition which will double the
capacity of their greenhouses. A carload
of glass for the new extension has been
received from Chanute.

handy outfit and be rid of the split Carnation nuisance forever.

The Clips are very small and colored i^reen, just the color of the calyx, and are practically invisible.

RKAD WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT IT

The Carnation Mender is all right. Any grower who does not buy
one and work until be knows how to use it properly is not up to his
buBinei>s for if be cann't save the price of the apparatus In one of the
dark winter months and have the satisfaction of sending out good
stock instead of seconds, my name is not ALBERT M. HERR.

I have duly received the Plyrr and Clips. They work very well
and I enclose check for same. Please leDCI me 2000 more Clips by

In reply to your favor of the 2d inst. regarding the Carnation Clin,
would say they work very satisfactorily and do away with the split

for your kindness in sending it so soon.

ST. PAUL.

The Market

October trade •was the heaviest on rec-
ord. Early frosts cut down all outside
stock. The crop of debutantes was larg-
er than ever, while weddings and funer-
als helped to swell the totals in sales.

There is an ample supply of good
stock coming in and the demand keeps
pace with it. Mums are the leaders, but
the larger portion are now gone and by
the end of the month there will be none
left. Carnations are of fair quality,
though rather short-stemmed and a little
soft for shipping. Violets and valley
have been in fair supply. Orchids have
sold well and the leading stores have to
keep a supply daily to meet the growing
demand.

Paper "Whites are now on the market
and remind one of the winter months
so near at hand.

Varioui Notes.

At the Art Loan exhibition, held in
the Auditorium by the Ladies' Art Guild,
Holm & Olson won first prize for table
decorations with a centerpiece of cattle-
yas and Farleyense ferns, Mrs. A. S.
Swanson won the second prize with a
centerpiece of eucharis, cattleyas and
ferns. There were only two competitors.
The leading florists decorated the hall
free with wild smilax, palms and bay
trees. The festivities incident to the ex-
hibition closed with a Cinderella ball last
Tuesday evening. This event should cre-
ate a good demand for flowers.

May & Co. are now occupying their
concrete warehouse on Como avenue. Next
spring they contemplate building a range
of greenhouses on the roof of the ware-
house.

James Souden, who recently opened a
flower store on Sixth street, Minneapolis,
reports a very gratifying trade.

Theo. Wirth, superintendent of parks,
Minneapolis, has issued an invitation to
the local trade to inspect the park
board's new greenhouses, at Thirty-
eighth street and Bryant avenue, on
Thursday next.

O. J. Olson and J. Clausen, of Albert
Lea, are hunting moose in northern Min-
nesota.

Eecent callers: Arnold Eingier and C.
W. Scott, of Chicago, both from the
woods and both talking greens.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

NOVEMBEE 14, 1907.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

There can be no doubt that the present
state of the financial world is making
itself felt in the flower business, but on
comparing with last year's business for
the same period we find we are fully up
to it. Almost every year there is a lit-
tle depression in the flower business about
this time. Usually there is some sort
of election going on and it is sort of
between seasons and the demand has not
much backbone.

Mums are holding their own nicely.
They are not averaging as high a price
as last year, but no one is complaining.
The market is well supplied with all
grades and colors, and all orders, large
or small, can be well taken care of.
Roses are coming quite heavily and the
quality is good, but the market for
them is not of the best and the price is
low. Still they are all being sold, even
if at a low price. Carnations still con-
tinue to be scarce and that fact is their
salvation. Were they plentiful their
story would be the same as that of the
rose. As it is, they sell out well and at
good prices. Violets are beginning to
be called for and they sell out at a fair
price. The large single, as is usually the
case in this market, has the best demand.
Some extra fine lily of the valley is be-
ing handled, with fair demand. Good
Easter lilies are coming in, with but lit-
tle call. Ferns, smilax, Sprengeri and
like greens are in supply equal to the
demand and selling well.

Small white mums in bunches, which
always are good property in this mar-
ket, are keeping up their reputation.
Thomas Windram, of Fort Thomas, Ky.,
who grows large quantities to take care
of this trade, reports business as very
satisfactory.

Various Notes.

Miss Edith Kyrk is keeping a veritable
mum show in her store in Avondale.
She buys heavily every day, proving, as
it is being proved every day, that it pays
to have a large stock, so that customers
are attracted by it.

L. F. Benson, of Newport, Ky., is also
a large buyer, and he attributes his suc-
cess to the fact that he always carries
a large stock and makes an attractive
display.

George Bayer, of Toledo, O., is sending
daily shipments of mums to this market.

Julius Baer, P. J. Olinger and J. A.
Peterson were in Chicago attending the
flower show.

Geo. F. Moore and son, of Rushville,
Ind.. were callers. C. J. Ohmer.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

NovsMBsa 14, 1907.

WASHINGTON.

Girrent Comment.

There are plenty of mums and some
fine ones, too. The stores all report busi-
ness good. Some large weddings are
booked for the near future. Gude Bros.
Co. had the Garlisle-Allen wedding No-
vember 9, one of the most elaborate of
the season.

At the club meeting November 5 final
arrangements were made for the big
flower show. The committee was in-
structed to invite three judges from out
of town. Every store man promised to
do his share in the way of an artistic
exhibit. President Peter Bisset showed
some fine seedling roses, one a cross be-
tween Queen Beatrice and Kaiserin, the
other a cross between Gen. MacArthur
and Queen Beatrice. He also showed a
seedling of Killamey which was fine.
There will be a special meeting of the
club Saturday evening, November 16.

The chrysanthemum show at the Agri-
cultural Department is in full blast and
the finest held for years.

Fred Wolfe, of the Washington Flo-
rists' Co., is improving and hopes to be
out soon.

A. Gude and Wm. F. Gude are on a
visit to Pittsburg, Richmond and Chi-
cago.

Visitors this week: Mr. Zirkman and
Mr. Fancourt, of Philadelphia. O. O.

Plymouth, Pa. — In the family of W.
6. Neilson five children are ill with scar-
let fever, one in a critical condition.

engine boiler heat? What size of con-
nections, and how many, would you put
on it for using hot water? E. G. S.

The boiler in question should be suffi-
cient to heat a house of the cross-section
mentioned, 150 feet in length, to 60 de-
grees by using sixteen lines of 2-inch
pipe the length of the house. Three of
the sixteen lines can be used as flow
pipes, while thirteen are used as re-
turns. L. C. C.

HOT VATER FOR FOUR HOUSES.

I have three connected greenhouses,
running north and south. Two of them
are each 20x80 feet, with sides five feet
two inches high, sashbars approximately
twelve feet, and no glass in the sides.
The other house, which is on the east
side, is 15x75, with sides five feet two
inches high, sashbars eight feet, about
twenty-five feet of glass on the east side.
Extending east and west, along the south
end of the three houses, is a shed 7x55.
At the south side of the shed, and run-
ning parallel with it, I propose to build
another house, 28x70, with the sides five
feet two inches high, and with the south
sashbars eighteen feet long and the north
sashbars fourteen feet and a half long.
There will be glass on the south side

Please advise me as to the best way
of heating the whole range. At present
the boilers are located at the north end
of the houses, but I wish to move them

should prefer to use hot water, if it is
not too far to carry it into the west

Greeohoose Heating.

A HEATING RECORD.

I have two houses, each 23x100, In
which I grow lettuce and general stock.
I keep a night temperature 50 to 52 de-
grees. They are heated with hot water.
There are two flows in each house, along
the purlins. One 3 Mi -Inch pipe supplies

• • • • • ^1 KLa f\ \J • ■ ■ ■ •

six 2-inch pipes under the outside
benches and one 3-inch flow supplying
four 2-inch pipes under the inside
benches. The outlet from each house is
separate into the boiler in 6-inch pipe.
I had a special boiler made to order
that has proved itself beyond my expec-
tations. In the winter of 1905-6 I used
thirty-one tons of coal at |1.90 and ten
cords of 3-foot wood worth about $2.50
per cord. This I thought very reason-
able. The circulation Is perfect. Last
winter in moderate weather, that is, not
windy and outside temperature 20 de-
grees or so above zero, I would leave
the boiler nine hours with a variation
of but 3 degrees.

Ten days ago I was called to Cleve-
land overnight The outside tempera-
ture was 46 degrees at 2 :40 p. m., when
I left the boiler, with a gradually sink-
ing mercury. There being no men at>out,
I left instructions that the boiler should
not be touched until next morning. My
wife, on my return next evening, report-
ed that at 7 p. m. it became quite windy
and by 9 :30 was freezing, with stormy
outlook. When she awoke at 6 a. m.
the outside temperature was 26 degrees
and the greenhouses were 47 degrees. I
think this is a record for fifteen hours
and twenty minutes without attention.
I would liKe to hear from anyone who
can beat it. 8. C. Tbmplin.

Mr. John G. Frisz, of Vincennes, Ind., writes as follows: "Your No. 13 boiler is carrying 25,000 sq. ft. of
glass and I do not have any trouble to keep it at 60 degrees in the coldest weather. Your boiler, has given entire
satisfaction. I have THREE OTHER TYPES of boilers alsQ heating 25,000 sq. ft. of glass, but YOUR BOILER
ONLY.TAKES HALF THE COAL AND HALF THE WORK TO GI\T: THE SAME RESULTS." . _:iij

should be provided with a 3rinch flow
and thirteen 2-inch returns, and the^

PIPING IN OHIO.

I am building a greenhouse 32x60 feet,
with walls five feet high and the ridge
thirteen f^et from the floor. How much
radiation do I need for heating with
steam? H. A. C.

To carry a temperature of 60 to 65
degrees witli low pressure steam you will
require twenty lines of l^^.-inch pipe as
returns, supplied by a 2%-inch riser un-
der the ridge. L. C. C.

HEAT FOR A LETTUCE FRAME.

I wish to heat a lettuce frame 6x70
feet, on the south side of a house heated
by a flue. Can this be done with a pipe
coil in the furnace, made with l^^-inch
pipe and return bends t ,How many re-
turns wonld the frame require, with the
flow in the house? W. S.

The lettuce frame 6x70 feet will re-
quire eighty feet of radiation, which
can be supplied by three lines of 1'^,-
inch pipe the length of the bed. If
a li/^rincfi'flow is carried from a coil
made up of twenty-five lineal feet of
1%,-inch pipe in the furnace, to the far
end of the greenhouse and there enters
the frame, to return by three l^^-inch
returns, you should be able to get a
satisfactory temperature. L. C. C.

HEAT FOR CARNATION HOUSE.

I have a nineteen horse-power steam
boiler, used four years. Can I have it
tapped with 2i^rinch holes and use it
for hot water? It is an upright boiler,
with a solid grate three feet across and
a space of. two feet between the grate
and the ^bcs. Can I burn hard coal
with good results?

feet to the ridge. The house runs east
and west. The back wall is six feet high
and the front wall five feet high, with
three feet of glass in the front. In this
Massachusetts climate, how much pipe
would be required to heat with hot water!
Or, could I use the boiler just as it is for
steam, and could I burn hard coal as I
would in hot water heating? I have 800
feet of 1-inch pipe. I should prefer to
use hard coal. W. T. W.

You can use the boiler as it is with
hard coal for low pressure steam, and by
equipping it with an automatic dia-
phragm to open and close dampers, it
should give satisfaction. If you wish
to use it for hot water, I would ad-
vise having the shell reamed for a 2^^-
inch or 3-inch flange, to be bolted on.

If you use steam, a 2-inch flow under
the ridge, with twelve 1^,-inch returns,
should give good results. If you use hot
water, use a 3-inch main flow under' the
ridge and twelve 2-inch returns. Yon

might make a compromise by using the
first described equipment during mild
weather for hot water, and during severe
weather as a steam plant. L. C. C.

HEATING FOR SALESROOM.

I am putting up a salesroom 23x23
feet. The side walls will be of wood and
five feet high ; the roof will be of glass ;
the ridge will be eleven feet from the
floor. I have a No. 16 Hitchings hot
water boiler, with outlets for 4-inch
pipe. Could I use this boiler by making
the fire box smaller with fire bricks, and
could I pipe this house without digging
a boiler pit? I wish to pipe against
the walls. I want to use the building
to grow a few of my bedding plants,
as well as for a salesroom. Kindly give
me suggestions on piping. S. S. S.

You can, of course, reduce the size
of the fire box as you suggest, with fire
brick, but by so doing you will lose

If you can exchange the boiler in ques-
tion for one rated at about 500 or 600
feet, it will, in my judgment, be more
economical, as the room in question re-
quires about 300 feet of radiation in
your Pennsylvania climate. A No. 14
is more nearly the size you need. If you
place radiating pipes on the side walls
of the room you can arrange to heat
with hot water without placing the boiler
in a pit. The main flow should go well
overhead, however. L. C. C.

DOUBLE GLASS SASH.

There are two reasons why florists find
coldframes or hotbeds troublesome. One
is that they have to be covered and un-
covered every day in cold weather, and
the other is that when covered the plants
are in the shade and suffer.

The Sunlight Sash Co., of Louisville,
Ky., has patented a sash for hotbeds or
coldframes that needs no covering, even

in zero weather, if the plants in the box
are half hardy. It has been in use for
four years for cabbage, lettuce, cauli-
flower, violets and other stock and the
company claims that not a plant has been
lost by freezing, either in .hotbeds or
coldframes, though the temperature was
frequently below zero.

There are upper and lower layers of
glass in the sash and between them is an
air space about %-inch thick. The glass
admits the light always and the air space
keeps out the cold and retains the heat
stored by the sun. The second layer of
glass costs less than boards, mats or any
other opaque covering and, the company

VEST GROVE, PA.

The Flower Town.

West Grove, a town of 1,200 people,
situated on the Baltimore Central rail-
road forty miles from Philadelphia, is,
without doubt, the greatest flower town
in the United States, if not in the world.

The establishment of Dingee & Conard
Co., now in the fifty-seventh year of its
commercial existence, is the parent plant.
It is located a short distance from the
town. It consists of seventy green-
bouses, numerous root-cellars and pack-
ing sheds and a large and well equipped
office building. It is a veritable sea of
glass. During the last two years a num-
ber of houses of steel construction have
been erected.' The surrounding grounds,
planted with every seasonable flower
from the early spring tulip to the late
dahlia and chrysanthemum, form a place
of many attractions.

Boses constitute the chief specialty.
For side lines cannas, dahlias and shrubs
are grown. A large miscellaneous stock,
consisting of ferns, palms. Rex begonias
and novelties, is carried. Over 1,000
varieties of roses are grown, several fa-
mous sorts having originated here. They
are propagated from the bench and are
sold in' great quantity in one and two
year sizes.

The Conard & Jones Co., an offshoot
of the former place, was established
about twelve years ago. The business
developed with such rapidity that twenty-
two large greenhouses and several root-
cellars are now required to house their
enormous stock. Antoine Wintzer, prob-
ably the ablest propagator in the country,
has charge of the place. Boses, cannas
and hardy shrubs form their specialties.
A visit to their trial grounds in August
will give a never-to-be-forgotten pleasure.
Acres of cannas, arranged systematically
in rows and plots, their t^ll, graceful
foliage surmounted by magnificent clus-
ters of bloom, meet the eye. The land-
scape is relieved by long rows of hydran-
geas, spiraeas and ornamental grasses.

Of the minor floral concerns located
here, several are rapidly springing into
importance. Green & Baylis conduct a
thriving business in cut flowers. They
have a number of greenhouses, all de-
voted to the growing of carnations and
chrysanthemums. The fine quality of
their bloom has made them widely known
among commission men. Last year their
chrysanthemums graced several social
functions at Washington.

CAHE OF FICUS.

Please give me some information as
to the care of small rubber plants. Some
of mine are beginning to turn brown at
the end of the leaves. C. F. N.

Not knowing what treatment your
plants have had, it is difficult to advise
as to the cause of your trouble. Pos-
sibly you have had your plants outdoors
or in a frame and they were frozen
before being housed, or perhaps you are
growing them in a cold and damp house.
Give them a bench in a light, sunny
house, kept at 50 to 55 degrees at night.
Do not allow them to become dry at the
root. Spray overhead in bright weather
.and shift into larger pots before they
become matted with roots. Be care-
ful not to give the plants too large a
shift. Drain the pota so that water will
pass away freely. C. W.

HARDINESS OF OTAKSA.

Is Hydrangea Otaksa a hardy out-
door plant in the state of Maine, or is
it entirely for greenhouse culture?
C. F. N.

Hydrangea Otaksa is not hardy in the
state of Maine. The plants will stand
quite a little frost when the wood is
well ripened, but it would not be safe to
expose them even then to a lower tem-
perature than 20 degrees above zero.
These hydrangeas winter well in a cellar
or shed kept just above freezing. An
occasional light freezing will not hurt
them. In some parts of Bhode Island,
especially at Newport, large specimens
are boxed up outside. With shoots packed
in earth and with straw protection, they
•can be brought through the winter safe-
ly. Other growers dig up the plants,
lay on their sides and cover with earth.
The more severe climalle in Maine would
hardly allow of thrtse methods of win-
tering being tried. / C. W.

Galena, Kan. — At the Galena Green-
houses, where W. Peirce is manager, a
new house has just been completed. The
firm now has three houses, each 30x120
feet, and a large part of the space is
devoted to roses and carnations. The
stock is in first-class shape.

POINSETTIAS.

Will you please state briefly through
the Eeview some of the main points in
caring for poinsettias? L. N. B.

The flower bracts should now be show-
ing on poinsettias. The plants require
a temperature at this time not below
55 degrees at night, and 60 degrees
will insure you finer flower-heads. Fall
sunshine is required, and if the pots or
pans are well filled with roots, aflford
some liquid manure once a week until
the bracts are fully developed. The
plants can be kept in a somewhat cooler
house when in full flower, but the tem-
perature should not fall below 50 de-
grees, or less foliage may result. Water
must be given carefully; either too
much or two little will cause .yellowing
of the leaves. If your plants are in
benches, see that they are securely
staked to keep the stems from becoming
twisted.

After the flowering season, lay your
stock plants on their sides under the
bench in a moderately cool greenhouse
and keep there until the end of May,
when you can shake away the old soil,
prune them back, pot into small pots
and place on the bench in a warm house
or frame. Do not water too heavily
until the plants break freely. Bub oflf
the cuttings with a heel when three
or four inches long, and insert in clean,
sharp sand. Bottom heat is not needed
to root them. Shade and water care-
fully until rooted. Grow the plants in
frames during the summer, where they
will become more stocky than if kept in
the greenhouses.

Cuttings may be rooted until the mid-
dle of August. Those put in during
July and August are good for making
up pans, but the earlier ones will give
the finest bracts for cutting. C. W.
