XOVEMUEU 21, 1!)07.

held November 13 and lA,— Among the
tispecially commendable features were
the begonias shown by F. C. Smith.
Hall & Robinson showed some splendid
carnations and their basket of Eich-
mond roses and valley was excellent.
They also showed some line orchids.
The chrysanthemum cut blooms were
iiot as good as in former years, but
the single chrysanthemums attracted
much favorable attention.

The principal exhibitors and prize-
winners for plants were: A. Piuoteau,
of the citv parks; "NV. G. Pascoe, gar-
dener ^or E. Eeford; J. S. Eddy, gar-
wiener for A. H. Sims; J. Pidduck, gar-
dener at Mount Eoyal park ; F. C. Smith,
jjardener for Sir William Van Horn;
C. A. Smith, gardener for T. A. Dawes,
and Hall & Kobinsou and Wilshire
Bros.

The cut chrysanthemums were large-
ly from the same exhibitors, with the
addition of Thomas Fewtress, gardener
to H. A. Allenger, and E. J. Haywood,
gardener to John Berkey. Hall & Eob-
inson were the principal exhibitors of
carnations and roses and divided the
premiums on made-up floral work with
Wilshire Bros. P. McKenna & Son had
a trade exhibit of begonias.

The judges of cut flowers were Mr.
Smith and J. Bennett, and Mr. Pew-
tress and Mr. Hayward for the plants.

DRACAENA MANDAIANA.

Dracaena Mandaiana, which had its
first introduction to the trade at large
at the Philadelphia convention of the
Society of American Florists, was
awarded the Shaw gold medal at St.
Louis last week for the best new plant
of American origin. It is a cross of

Draca-'ua terminalis and D. Youngii
and W. A. Manda, with Avhom it orig-
inated, at South Orange, N. J., says
that he considers it the finest of all the
red hybrid dracronas. The 4ftcompany-
ing illustration gives a good idea of the
plant, tlie larger picture being from a
photograph of the house of this variety
now to bo seen at South Orange. The
piants grow from two to four feet high
and kijep Avell their broad claret red
foliage, which is of extra good sub-
stance, showing the veins plainly. The
characteristic color is shown on plants
all the way from the cutting stage to
mature specimens, and the color is
heightened in the third to the fifth mid-
dle leaves. The plant is of easy growth
and even snails, the terror of dracajnas,
do not molest it. The flowers and rich
scarlet fruits are also showy. Mr. Manda
considers it an ideal Christmas plant
and one that is sure to be grown in
largo quantities.

ST. LOUIS.

The first fall flower show given by
the St. Louis Horticultural Society was
held November 12 to 14 in the new hall

proved a magnificent place in which to
hold such a show. There was a grand
display of plants, cut roses, carnations
and chrysanthemums. In the special de-
signs Fred H. Weber's automobile was
a great attraction; also the grotto, made
up of plants, birds and gold fish, with
colored electric effects, by the St. Louis
Seed Co., came in for admiration. Fred
C. Weber 's display in this class was a

Dracaena Mandaiana.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK.

The first annual flower show of the
Arkansas Floral Society was held in the
banquet room of the Hotel Marion No-
vember 14 to 16. The exhibits were
sufficient to fill the space provided, and
the quality of the stock was excellent.
The manager of the show was P. M.
Palze, of Vestal & Son, which was a
guarantee of capable arrangement. As
an artistic success the show left noth-
ing to be desired, and financially it was
satisfactory, the attendance being large
throughout, and the interest taken by
the best flower buyers of the town all
that could be desired. The principal
trade exhibitors from outside of Little
Rock were the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond,
Ind., which staged a large number of
new variety chrysanthemums and the
new rose, Rhea Reid; Vaughan & Sperry,
Chicago, who exhibited violets, all the
way from the Hudson river ; H. W. Buck-
bee, of Eockford, 111., who exhibited cut
blooms of chrysanthemums, carnations
and roses and pot plants of chrysanthe-
mums; Poehlmann Bros. Co., of Chicago,
which exhibited chrysanthemums, carna-
tions and roses; Nathan Smith & Son,
Adrian, Mich., cut chrysanthemums; Pe-
ter Reinberg, Chicago, who exhibited the
new rose, Mrs. Marshall Field; Charles
W. McKellar, Chicago, who exhibited or-
chids, and Zech & Mann, Chicago, who
sent chrysanthemums.

J. W. Vestal & Son were the leading
exhibitors among the local trade, and
captured nearly all of the many pre-
miums for plants, there being several
local amateurs who also put up good dis-
plays.

PHILADELPHIA.

' ' Place all the 6-inch chrysanthe-
mums on the stairAvay, ' ' was Secretary
Rust's directions to Mr. McGregor on
the morning of the second day of the
annual fall show in Horticultural hall.
This was done, with telling effect, the
6-inch pots, with their perfect specimen
flowers and clean foliage, adorning the
magnificent stairway in a manner wholly
different from the usual groups of long-
steuimed cut flowers in vases. The whole
interior of the hall, as well as of the
foyer, was also rearranged, the effect
being vastly heightened thereby.

The second <lay brought out the cut
roses, carnations and violets, and a large
number of growers, who came especially
to see the novelties. They were well
worth ^eing. The rose novelties includ-
ed Mrs. Jardine and a coppery-colored,
tulip-shaped bud with yellow on the inner
petals, both from Robert Scott & Son,
Sharon Hill, Pa. These have previously
been described in this column. A rose
of a lovely shade of pink came from
John Cook, Baltimore, pretty in bud
form as well as when half open. A fine
])air of novelties brought by E. G. Hill,
Richmond, Ind., were- Rhea Reid, a bright
red rose of great size and substance,
which was much admired, and Princess,
an exquisite soft pink with long, pointed
bud, rather single.

tracting the most attention Mere a vase
of Imperial, with immense stems and
large flowers. These were from William
Kleinheinz. Dailledouze Bros, sent Aft-
erglow, which will be sent out this
spring by a quartet of distributors. Ex-
pert judges consider Afterglow as an
even better carnation than Aristocrat,
which created such a sensation last sea-
son. Among the other carnations were
fine exhibits from Samuel Batchelor, Ed-
ward A. Stroud and F. E, Pierson Co.
The best varieties in these collections
were Lieut. Peary, Lady Bountiful, White
Perfection, White Lawson, Winsor, En-
chantress, Helen Goddard, Mrs. Lawson,
Beacon and Harlowarden.

The violets were a small but most
creditable display. ^Irs. Sarah 1. Smith
sent Princess of Wales and La France;
John Maclntyre, California and Princess
of Wales; Louis I. Couche, Gov. Herrick
and Princess of Wales.

Other features of the show were the
ferns from Thomas Long; the center ar-
rangement of oak leaves, Boston ferns
and pompons, from William Graham Co.,
christened the Kendezvous by one of the
bright lady visitors; and the display of
vegetables in the lower hall. The at-
tendance was large, most enthusiastic
and gratifying, when it is considered
that it is the first exhibition that the
society has held under the new retrench-
ment plan. This plan "consists in the ab-
solute curtailment of all expense for
premiums, the prizes being entirely do-
nated by the members of the society and
by business houses that have an interest
in the exhibitions.

A summary of the awards shows that
the principal exhibitors and winners
were :

•Joseph Hurley, gardener to J. W.
Paul, Jr.; Gordon Smirl, gardener to
Mrs. J. F. Sinnott ; ,Tohn McClearv, gar-
dener to Mrs. R. J. C. Walker; William
Kleinheinz, gardener to P. A. B. Widen-
er; J, F. Whittaker, gardener to Robert
Le Boutillier; Samuel Batchelor, garden-
er to C. B. Newbold ; William Robertson,
gardener to J. W. Pepper; Thomas Gay-
nor, gardener to Mrs. J. B. Stetson;
George Bastard, gardener to Curwen
Stoddart; Edward Smith, gardener to E,
N. Benson; Joseph Crowther, gardener
to S. B. Brown; Thomas Long, garden-

S. Friedbergor; R. J. Morrow, gardener
to (5. I. Bodine; J. 1\ Sisson, gardener
to Mrs. Thomas McKean.

Robert Craig Co. was first for Lor-
raine begonias and for display of cro-
tons.

Dailledouze Bros, won the silver cup
for new carnation, with Afterglow.

A silver medal was awarded Robert
Scott & Son, for Rose Mrs. .lardine.

A silver medal was awarded E. G. Hill
Co., for Rose Princess.

A certificate was given P. A. B. Widen-
er, for Chrj-santhemum Lynnwood Hall.

Special mention was given Mrs. S. 1.
Smith and L. A. Couche, for violets.

Show Notes.

"William Kleinheinz has sold Lynn-
wood Hall to E. (J. Hill." This was the
startling announcement made by Secre-
tary Rust on the third day of the ex-
hibition. Those present were amazed.
They did not understand how Mr. Kleiu-
iieinz could have sold P. A. B. Widener 's
mansion over liis head. Smart as Mr.
Kleinheinz is, they di<l not believe him
capable of this, oven iiad his loyalty
not rendered it impossible. But gradu-
ally comprehension dawned that Mr.
Kleinheinz had disposed of his new
white seedling nuun, named after his

employer's home at Ogontz. This was
the finest novelty in the show.

Gordon Smirl exhibited two superb
seedlings, a white and a purplish pink,
of grand form and great size.

Among the orchids exhibited by Lager
& Hurrell were the white form of Cat-
tleya labiata and the yellow, Cattleya
Dowiana.

H. F. Michell Co. had a fine display
of bulbs, seeds and implements.

Henry A. Dreer made an interesting
display of all tlie best forms of neph-
rolepia.

Robert Craig Co. made a fine showing
of Ficiis pandurata and crotons.

George E. Campbell made an excel-
lent floor manager.

Among the visitors were E. G. Hill,
of Richmond, Ind.; Elmer D. Smith,
of Adrian, Mich.; William R. Smith,
Washington, D. C. ; John A. Cook, of
Baltimore; Henry and Paul Dailledouze,
of Flatbush, L. I.; Charles H. Totty, of
Madison, N. J.; John I]. Haines, of
Bethlehem, Pa., and J. D. Cockcroft, of
Long Island. Phil.

TORONTO.

The fourth annual Canadian fruit,
.flower and honey show was opened in
Massey hall, Tuesday, November 12, un-
der tiie most favorable auspices. The
show may be said to surpass all pre-
vious shows in many respects, and in
few entries was there any lack of in-
terest or exhibits. The fruit, without
excejition, was the finest that was ever
put up at a Canadian exhibition, and
jierhaps would be hard to duplicate in
any fruit-growing center of the world.
Jn the flower section the exhibits were
well filled, and, according to the judg-
ment of John TL Dunlop, who had just
returned from Chicago, the blooms quite
equale<l anything he saw there. Per-
haps the most notable was the orchid
exhibit, and it was certainly a revela-
tion to (Canadian flower lovers to see
."ucii masses of orchids as those exhibit-
ed by T. Manton, who captured first,
and the Dale estate, which got second.
Some fine vases of mums were exhib-
ited by the Dale estate. Perhaps the
most noticeable was the vase of Mrs.
Thirkel, a large yellow ; in fact, these
were the largest mums that have yet
been exhibited in Toronto. The chal-

third year by T. McHugh, of Dorval,
now goes to him for keeps, and Mr.
McHugh is to be congratulated on his
persistency in following it up.

W. Wilshire, of Wilshire Bros., Mont-
real, judged the plants and chrysanthe-
mums. S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo, was
to judge the roses, carnations and made-
up work, but unfortunately he received
a telegram Wednesday night which
called him hurriedly home, after having
judged the carnations. C. Tidy, of our
city, was asked to finish Mr. Ander-
son's work, which he did in a manner
most creditable to himself and' satis-
factory to the exhibitors.

Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian,
Mich., put up a fine exhibit of nmms.

The attendance was good throughout
the week, as entertaining concerts were
furnished by local bands and the best
local talent. A summary of the awards

ARTISTIC ARBANGEMENTS.

Basket of Roies.

The French basket shown in the illus-
tration was especially arranged for an
effective photograph, the flowers being
a little more loosely arranged than would
ordinarily have been the case. The ex-
quisite coloring of Mme. Abel Chatenay
rose gives a peculiar charm to this ar-
rangement. It is the work of Charles
Henry Fox, at the Sign of the Rose,
Philadelphia.

INTERESTING IF TRUE.

Walter Tapper, with Joseph R. Gold-
man, Middletown, 0., supplies the fol-

lowing story and suggests its publica-
tion under this head:

' ' The other day one of the well-known
clerks of the war department at Wash-
ington died. He had been a telegraph
operator before he was appointed to his
clerkship and had worked in the tele-
graph division in the war department
for some years. When his fellow op-
erators learned of his death they de-
termined to send a floral tribute, and
a collection was taken up and order
given to the florist to make a lai-ge pil-
low of flowers and mark in the center
the figures 73, which in telegraph lan-
guage means the signal between op-
erators, 'My compliments and remem-

brance. ' On the day of the funeral
the operators went to pay their last
respects to their clerk, and were greatly
shocked when they saw their floral trib-
ute on the casket, for instead of the fig-
ures 73, there, in red immortelles, on a
white field of roses, were the figures 23.
It was too late to do anything, and as
the casket was borne to the grave the
pillow sent with 'Compliments and re-
membrances* was marked with the mes-
sage *23.' The next day an indignant
committee of telegraphers waited on the
florist for an explanation. All he could
say was that he had never heard of 73,
but he knew 23 and thought that was
what they wanted. ' '

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

The American Eose Society has issued
certificates of life membership which are"
very handsome documents, worthy of
being framed and preserved, and certifi-
cates for new roses exhibited as novel-
ties not receiving the society's gold
medal but worthy of special notice. To
make these certificates more interesting,
a new seal has been prepared, which in
design is distinct and original.

The society has now begun its efforts
to make ready for thg exhibition . to be
held in Chicago. The show of Eam-
blers from the west is expected to out-
shine in quantity anything which has
been given to the public. New roses
from two or three growers in the east
are expected to be of interest to all who
are working along this interesting line.

The list of life memberships is in-
creasing as one and another drops into
line. The society is not very rich, but
it is likely to become the head and front
of the special associations of flower
growers in America.

BROWN SCALE ON ADIANTUM.

I enclose a few fronds of adiantum,
which are "inhabited." Will you kind-
ly name the insect and the remedy!

Mac.

The adiantum fronds are badly in-
fested with the common brown scale,
an insect that is frequently found upon

Chrysanthemum W. M. Moir.

T

greenhouse plants. When a fern is in
such a condition as that indicated by
the specimens, it would be best to throw
it away and procure a fresh stock, as
an insecticide strong enough to kill
these pests would be sure to injure the
tender foliage of the fern. Solution of
tobacco extract will destroy this scale,
but would also affect the adiantum
foliage. W. H. Taplin.

THE NOVELTIES.

O. H. Broomhead.

0. H. Broomhead is a dwarf-growing,
stout-stemmed pink, and will become
popular, when generally grown, as an
exhibition flower. The color is a deep
rose-pink with silvery tips, which, how-
ever, show but little, as the flower when
finished is a true Jap. 0. H. Broomhead
is easy to grow, and early crowns, late
crowns and even terminal buds produce
full flowers. It can be cut by October
20, but keeps for three weeks on the
plant in almost perfect condition. 1
think we will find in Broomhead a pink
that will give satisfaction in the coun-
try generally, and not be confined to a

limited area, as is the ease with some
pinks we now have.

W. M. Moir.

W. M. Moir can be grown by every
one with confidence, for it produced
enormotis flowers this year from late
struck plants and has hardly gotten ac-
climatized yet. I think that when the
exhibitors get hold of it and can start
with good stock early in the season,
Moir will give some phenomenal flowers,
as I have noticed that if the showing the
first year is good it will be very much
better the next year, varieties like Bea-
trice May, Mrs. W. Duckham and Mrs.
John E. Dunne being cases in point.
Moir is the only variety scoring over
ninety before the committees this year.

and for this reason I claim it is the pre-
mier variety of the year. The color is
an absolutely pure white, and foliage
and stem are perfect. The foliage might
come a little higher up the stem with
advantage, but that is the only criti-
cism one can make of this phenomenal
variety.

Mary Donnellan. •

Mary Donnellan is a yellow that will
make its own way. It is a deeper shade
than Appleton and a much more perfect
flower — two pretty broad statements to
make. As a keeper it outlasts any va-
riety I know of. The specimen shown
in the illustration appeared in my win-
ning class, twenty-four kinds, at Madi-
son, October 31, and a week later I
showed it in the winning class of thirty
varieties at New York, where I had the
photograph taken on November 8. Con-
sidering the conditions prevailing in ex-
hibition rooms generally, I call this re-
markable. All my Donnellan were de-
veloped fully by October 15; yet they
kept all right for the show on November
6. Donnellan is a tall grower and a
little necky, but is well worthy of a trial
by every one.

Mary Mason.
Mary Mason possesses to perfection
what we have come to regard as the
Wells Pockett habit; that is, a very
dwarf, robust growth, with the foliage
right up to the flower. The style of
the flower condemns it from the com-
mercial growers' point of view, and yet
these are the varieties that people rave
over in the exhibition room. To my
mind, whatever a lady likes she will

buy if. she only gets a chance, and the
grower who slavishly follows the other
fellow 's load, with his Appletons and
BonnaflFons, is. only standing in his
own light. Mary Mason is rosy red in
color, and the flower is extra large. Jt
will be very j)rominent in the any other
classes next year.

Dorothy Goldsmitb.

Dorothy (ioldsniith was not finished
in time for nie to exhibit this year. Ha<l
it been a week earlier, it woui<l have been
talked abont. One admirer called it a
bronze F. S. Vailis, and 1 think this
descri])tion fits it very well. The petals
are just as long and tiie flower shonld
come as large. I have liad petals on it
this year eleven inches long and hang-
ing straight down. It is necky and most
suitable for short-vase classes, l)nt if it
lives nj) to the jiromise of its youth we
may look for a big fellow next year. It
is one of the English seedlings, and what
we have to look for first with them is
fullness. This (ioldsniith has to perfec-
tion, and so I do not fear Imt that it
will come out all right.

Kitty Lawrei ce.

Kitty Lawrence is a delicate fawn
color, and I think will become a great
favorite witii exhibitors becau'-e of it?

Kitty will make her in«»rk in her partic-
ular color.

Lynnwocd Hall.

Lynnwood Hall is highly thought of
in the neighborhood of Philadelpliia,
where it originated, and it has scored
to a certificate on the commercial scale.
It is a tJapanese incurved white and
reminds me of Convention Hall in its
contour and habits. J am unable to
say anything as to its growth, only that
it has a stiff stem and carries the foliage
u}) to the flower.

• , Mrs. Norman Davis t'

One of the best of the novelties of the
year that* I failed to get a picture of
is Mrs. Norman Davis. The plate, unfor-
tunately, went wrong and the picture
was spoiled. This variety is a splendid
white, entirely different from Moir in
its make-up. It is a true Jap, and the
flower meets the foliage even when early
crown buds are taken. Mrs. Norman
Davis will be very welcome, because our
list of exhibition whites is none too
long at present. C'hakles H. Totty.

Lily of Ihe Valley.

The imported pips of lily of the
valley are now coming to hand; It is
not advisable to force any of these be-
fore the new year. Our experience has

kind, free habit and perfectly shaped
flower. Stock was limited and I did
not have enough to stage before the
committee, but every exhibitor who saw
it was very pleasetl, and I am sure that

not pay for the labor expended upon
them. Soak the bunches of pips well
after they are unpacked and place in a
cool frame until needed. Let them have
some frost; it will not hurt them and

they will force all the better for it. It
is best to rely on cold storage pips until
Christmas, after which time the new crop
can be used. Lily of the valley, to be
forced successfully, should have a brisk
bottom heat of from 75 to 90 degrees,
which can be steadily maintained, and
a toj) heat 25 to 30 degrees lower. It
shouM be kept in the dark until the
spikes are well drawn up, then more
light should be given.

The small grower, who only needs a
few hundred pips a week at most, should
select a place over the steam or hot
water pipes. Box it in, making a case
not less than a foot deep over the pipes;
eighteen inches will be better. Place a
layer of moss over the bottom boards;
cover with six or eight inches of sand
and plant your pips as wanted. Glasa
washes may cover the frame. These can
be darkened by cloths. Keep the sand
moist, but avoid much overhead damp-
ening after the spikes are well advanced.
Soil is not needed for lily of the val-
ley. The pips make no roots while be-
ing forced. As you will need batches
coming on at regular intervals, it will
be advisable to divide your case by par-
titions. One may need light and air
^vlliIe others will need a close, dark at-
mosphere.

Lilacs.

The largest portion of forcing lilacs
which are pot grown are import^l from
Kurope. Now is a good time to secure
a stock if you have not already obtained
them. No variety beats the ever popular
white Marie Legraye for forcing, but
Charles X, Souvenir de Ludwig Spaeth,
Mme. Lemoine and several other sorts
are grown to a lesser extent. Plants
<lug up and potted now will not force
satisfactorily. They should have been
pot-grown since last spring or early sum-
mer, at latest. In starting lilacs, 55 to
(50 degrees at night is ample. This may
be increased' in a few days to 75 to
SO degrees, gradually lowering the tem-
perature as the flowers open. If de-
sired, the plants may be kept in the
dark until the flowers are about to open,
when they should be gradually inured
to light. Forced in this way, the col-
ored sorts come practically white. Fre-
quent spraying overhead is very bene-
ficial until the flowers commence to open,
when it should be discontinued. Towards
spring, of course, much less forcing is
needed.

f ! i -' ' '-': ' Azalea Mollis.

While lieas grown than the omnipres-
ent Indian azaleas, the mollis section
is well worthy of being more grown by
florists. Well-flowered plants are usu-
ally quite a feature in the first three
months of the year at all the better-
class flower stores. It is not necessary
for these to be potgrown. The plants
always lift with substantial balls, and
should be potted firmly. Their treat-
ment need not differ greatly from that
advised for lilacs, only the plants should
never be grown in the dark. There are
some beautiful shades of color in these
azaleas, such as are unknown in the
Azalea Indica group, and all are popular
with flower buyers who know how to
appreciate good things. Pot up any
plants you may have bought or grown
yourself. Keep cool and subjected to a
little frost until you want to force them.

Indiaa Azaleas.

If azaleas wanted for Christmas are
not already started, lose no time in get-
ting them in a warm, moist house. It
will only be possible to get in such early
sorts as Hexe and Deutsche Perle at this
late date, as Christmas is only a trifle
over a month ahead. Keep any plants
you are forcing well syringed in bright
weather, and let the atmosphere in wMch
they are growing be congenial and moist.
As flowers get fairly well expanded,
remove to a cooler house, not to one just
clear of freezing, but rather where it is
kept at 50 to 55 degrees at night.

Lilies.

If you are figuring on a good batch
of lilies for Christmas they will need
close attention during the next few
weeks, and you will undoubtedly have to
do considerable moving around to time
them to a nicety. The sun power now
decreases daily in marked contrast to
what it is in March or April, when we
are hurrying on our stock for Easter,
and growth is now much slower than in
the spring months. Do not allow aphis
to secure any lodgment. Spray the
plants freely and remove the most ad-
vanced ones to slightly cooler quarters.
Those you are forcing should have 70
degrees at night to send them along, and
do not forget a dose of manure water
once a week.

Lilies for Easter, which comes much
later next year, should be kept moderate-
ly cool, and do not overwater them.
Better keep a little on the dry side to be
safe.

Brief Remioders.

Protect hybrid perpetual roses by
drawing earth up to the stems. This is
better than putting leaves and manure
among them. ^

Hybrid tea roses will winter with
earth protection in favored latitudes. In
more rigorous sections it is better and
safer to lift and bury them, or to heel
deeply and quite thickly in a coldframe.

Get antirrhinums planted as the mums
are cleared away. Sweet peas also make
a good successional crop.

Keep stevia cool. The flowers are
specially valuable at Christmas and dur-
ing January.

Start a batch of French Trumpet

Major narcissi, and if La Eeine tulips

are well started, bring in a batch. Keep

• them dark to draw up the stems for a

time.

Keep the early sweet peas carefully
tied up. The night temperature for them

Chrysanth'Qium O. H. Broomfiead.

is better kept below 50 degrees at night.

Do not forget to save plenty of chrys-
anthemum stock for yourself. Give the
plants a light bench in a cold house.

Give more room to Lorraine begonias,
which are now growing fast. A tempera-
ture of 55 degrees is high enough as the
flowers open.

Lift any roots of doubtfully hardy
perennials, and place winter protection
over those requiring it.

Keep berried solanums in a cokl house
if you want them in good condition for
Christmas.

Put Gladiolus Colvillei, The Bride and
any of the nanus section in flats as soon
as you receive them. Keep in a cool
pit, but do not cover with ashes or other
material, as they start to grow very,
early.

The Market.

Something of a pall continues to over-
hang the flower market, and a good deal
of pessimistic talk is heard as to the
trade during the coming winter. Condi-
tions, if anything, show a trifling im-
provement, but continue the reverse of
satisfactory. While chrysanthemums are
still arriving in goodly numbers, they
arc dominating the market less than they
did. There is no change to be recorded
in prices for these, although some ad-
vance is anticipated for Thanksgiving.
Some nice flowers of Chadwick, Penn-
sylvania, Enguehard, Nagoya, Faton and
ito yellow sport are seen". Bonnaffon
and its white sport are stUl much in
evidence.

Roses are doing a little better, but
prices are not what they should be.
Beauties are fine and special grades are
selling ii little higher. The same is true
of the best quality blooms of Killarney,
Wellesley, Chatenay and Richmond.

Carnations are in heavy supply, with a
slightly hardening tendency in prices
due to the approach of Thanksgiving.
Violets remain about the same. Paper
White narcissus conies from several
growers, but is not yet in much demand.
Lily of the valley is not abundant, but
suffwMent for the light calls. Lilies and
callas are more plentiful. Other flowers
arriving include bouvardia, mignonette,
snapdragon and gardenias. There is a
fair call for smilax, adiantum and as-
paragus.

not look specially roseate, and prices are
likely to be moderate. "While the finan-
cial upheaval will aflfect trade, a fair
business is looked for. Plant trade con-
tinues only moderately good, not at all
what it ought to be. Some jgood Lor-
raine begonias are now arriving, and a
few azaleas have also put in an appear-
ance. Palms and other decorative plants
aro not selling as well as could be wished,

Qub Meeting.

Election night, as usual, drew out a
big crowd to the Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Club meeting November 19, nearly
175 being in attendance. There was no
regular lecture, as the balloting occupied
considerable time. The nominating com-
mittee, consisting of Wilfred Wheeler,
W. C. Rust and Charles Holbrow, pre-
sented the list of nominees and Presi-
dent . Westwood appointed as tellers
Messrs. Holbrow, Wheeler, Kennedy and
Cameron. The balloting resulted as fol-
lows:

For president, Thomas Westwood, 53;-
F. E. Palmer, 36; vice-president, F. P.
Davis, 67; T. J. Gray, 52; secretary,
W. N. Craig, 113; treasurer, Edward
Hatch, 112; executive committee, Peter
Miller, 90; John Farquhar, 79; Robert
Cameron, 95; Paul Johansson, 48.

A motion was introduced changing the

Tlie landscape classes begin December
3. F. E. Palmer gave a report on boiler
legislation.

Wm. Sim was given an award of merit
for Boston violet. M. A. Patten had a
fine lot of seedling carnations, and
James Cartwright showed Oncidium
ornithorhynchum.

The market was improved November
20. Receipts were lighter and prices
better. The Thanksgiving outlook
brightens.

Variotss Notes.

The annual election of omcers for the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society
took place November 16. There being
no contests, the number of votes cast
was unusually small. The following
were duly electeu: President, Stephen
M. Weld; vice-president, Walter Hunne-
well; trustees for three years, W. C.
Baylies, C. W. Parker, J. A. Pettigrew
and William Whitman; nominating com-
mittee, W. H. Bowker, J. W. Duncan,
J. H. Fletcher, D. F. Roy and Wilfred
Wheeler.

The Yale-Princeton football game No-
vember 16 caused a good call for vio-
lets. Welch Bros, forwarded nearly
100,000 alone, singles having the prefer-
ence.

Malcolm Orr and L. E. Small are

date of election to December in future.

It was »oted to hold a field day at

Framingham, December 14, to visit S. J.

Goddard, Wm. Nicholson nnd T. Buttor-

handling some fine double violets at the
Music Hall market. Messrs. Orr and
Cummings have splendid singles with
12-inch stems.

The t«o flower markets expect to offer

some $500 in prizes at the exhibition, to
be held probably in February. As the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society holdsf
its midwinter exhibition about that timef^
an amalgamation would insure a fine
exhibition.

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society visited
the estate of H. H. Rogers, at Fairhaven,
November 18. James Garthley, the head
gardener, had two houses of pot chrys-
anthemums which were finely grown. The
party were entertained to dinner and
spent a pleasant afternoon.

John McFarland has finished a fine
new forcing house. In addition to lily
of the valley, he will force a quantity
of Lilac Marie Legraye. He has a nice
house of poinsettias coming on for
Christmas.

David Lumsden has been appointed
superintendent of the greenhouses of
New Hampshire College at Durham,
N.H.

November has given us some low tem-
peratures, 12 to 14 degrees above zero
being recorded November 15, 16 and 17.
It has been an excellent fall, however,
for finishing up outside work.

NEVYOHK.

The Market

■ The week opens With a cold rain and
cheerless skies, hardly in keeping with
the better tone that begins to materialize.
This is the week of the horse show, al-
ways a good week for the retailer, and
with the grandest blooms of chrysanthe-
mums in abundance flooding the mar-
ket, of the finest quality that has ever
reached the New York wholesalers, there
is no reason why this week should be
an exception to the rule. Prices are no
higher this week than last, and may not
be before Thanksgiving, but the demand
is growing and the ice-boxes are emptied
every day at some price.

Saturday's football game at New
Haven absorbed enormous quantities of
yellow mums and violets. The aggre-
gate must have totaled hundreds of
thousands, and yet the New York local
call was beard and answered satisfac-
torily; in other words, notwithstanding
any extraordinary demand at any time,
there is always left enough and to spare.
One of the leading violet wholesalers
declared he had not shipped a violet to
Yale, the city demand absorbing his
entire shipment.

Mums of superb quality and size, last
year bringing $4 to $5 a dozen, are gladly
sold this year at $2. While these ab-
normal receipts of chrysanthemums con-
tinue there will be little satisfactory im-
provement in prices. Roses have not
advanced except in quality. They could
hardly be more perfect. No signs of
mildew are yet in evidence. Beauties
are in demand at the present prevailing
reasonable prices, and no wonder, when
retailers can buy 40-cent goods at 20
cents, and all other roses in proportion.
The finest Maids last week were to be
had for $4 a hundred. The beginning of
this week finds prices at the same low
ebb.

Carnations sold at 2 cents for the top
at times, and there was no lack of sup-
ply. Valley does not advance, though
the November weddings are numerous.

Orchids are abundant and growing in
favor constantly. Shipments are heavy
to out-of-town florists.

before the end of the week. Thanks-
giving will. Btir things up, and, while
.prices will remain reasonable, the volume
of business promises to be large.

Various Notes.

CrecKtors of Hicks & Crawbuck,
Brooklyn, filed a petition in bankruptcy
against tnem last week, and E. T. O 'Con-
nor, Jr., was appointed receiver. He is
continuing the business, and it is hoped
that early resumption of the firm can be
arranged, for it is stated that assets,
including book accounts, more than equal
the liabilities. Frank S. Hicks with-
<lrew from the firm last June and, al-
though his name is retained, is now of
Prank S. Hicks & Co., New York.

deary's Horticultural Co. has just re-
ceived sixty-two cases of azaleas, rhodo-
dendrons and other nursery stock. They
are having good sales, with large attend-
ance.

The Plant Growers' Association will
Jocate its headquarters in Twenty-eighth
street if a suitable building can be se-
cured. This society includes all the ex-
pert growers in and near New York.

Joseph Fenrich is receiving a grade
of Bride from Kobert Schultz, of Madi-
son, that is bard to beat, and Totty's
novelties in mums are seen here daily.

A. J. Guttman calls attention to grand
stock of Dr. Enguehard, Eaton, Maud
Dean and Golden and White Chadwick,
from Jacob Hauk, of Bloomfield, N. J.

John Young reports the Cottage Gar-
<len8 now cutting a large crop of fancy
carnations.

Henry Hessian's cut, as seen at Ford
Bros.', shows that if quality were the
test this would be the height of the
season.

John King Duer, who has been quite
ill, is now recovering. J. J. Coan, man-
ager of this establishment, says since
society returned to town business has
been satisfactory. The general effect
produced in this handsome store makes
it quite distinct and unique among New
York flower shops.

William H. Kuebler, of Brooklyn,
says his business is again beyond the ca-
pacity of his store, and more room is
a necessity, aa last year. He says he
will have chrysanthemums for Christmas.

J. K. Allen must be a Princeton sym-
pathizer, judging by the number of
yellow mums he shipped to the football
enthusiasts at New Haven on Saturday.

Walter Sheridan is on deck again,
fully recovered and optimistic as to the
future of the cut flower market, with the
rise and fall of which he has been con-
versant for just a quarter of a century.

Tons of flowers were used at the
funeral of Charles T. Barney, late presi-
<lent of the Knickerbocker Trust Co.
N^early every prominent florist had a
share of the work.

Lucien M. Underwood, botanist and
professor at Columbia College, commit-
ted suicide November 17.

Karl Kammann and Miss Elizabeth
Wade were married November 10 at
the Church of the Ascension. Miss Wade
is a sister of Thomas J. Wade, man-
ager of Bloomingdale 's cut flower de-
partment. Mr. Kammann is with Joseph
Leikens, and a two weeks' vacation and
$100 from his employer was one of the
wedding gifts.

Perkins & Nelson are receiving fine
stock of cypripediums from the same
grower who has shipped orchids to the
veteran since 1882.

C. C. Trepel, of Brooklyn, opens a
branch store next week on Lexington

Chrysanthemum Mary Mason.

street, opposite Losier's, which he will
call the Blossom. It has a 50-foot show
window. Mr. Trepel handles the entire
mum stock of Mr. Meesum, of Elm-
hurst, over 40,000 blooms to date this
year. He sells as high as 5,000 fern-
dishes, filled, weekly, and his Saturday
sales have reached as high as 8,000
each of roses and carnations and 10,000
chrysanthemums.

G. Myer has thoroughly refitted his
handsome store at Madison avenue and
Fifty-eighth street, and with his big ex-
panse of glass makes some effective
window decorations. Many unique fea-
tures attest his versatility. He has
built a reputation for house and church
decorations, and numbers many of the
society leaders among his patrons. He
has branched out also into landscaping,
and the grounds of Brokaw at Great
Neck and of Dr. Dennis at Norfolk,
Conn., demonstrate his skill. Mr. Myer
was in the employ of Alex McConnell
for twenty years before venturing on the
business sea on his own account.

Hanft Bros., Madison avenue and
Fifty-eighth street, will move to the cor-
ner of Sixty-second street and Madison
avenue March 1. Their new store will
have a frontage of lOO feet on Madison
avenue, and plate glass windows will
make possible one of the largest deco-
rative displays in the city. The locality
is on© of the best in New York, and
close to the fine stores of Warendorff,

John King Duer, Myer, Stumpp and
Bloomingdale. For the first time in a
generation, Mr. Hanft informed me,
there will be no Arion ball this season.
They have decorated for this great year-
ly feature for a quarter of a century.

At Bloomingdale 's, Manager Burnham
has in the great roof conservatories two
century plants that have drawn great
crowds of interested flower lovers for
weeks and will continue to do so until
nearly Christmas. The plants were at
one time owned by Louis Menand, of
Albany, and were purchased from him
by W. A. Manda, from whom Mr. Bum-
ham secured them. The greenhouses
here are stocked with the best of ferns,
palms and plants of every kind. Espe-
cially good are the branched ficus of
Fritz Dressel and the Scottii and Whit-
mani ferns. Mr. Burnham declares that
no decrease in trade has been noted this
fall. He maintains prices that average
as high as those , of the leading retail
stores. J. Austin Shaw.

Lake Geneva, Wis. — The Lake Geneva
Gardeners' Association closed its third
annual exhibition November 16. The
quality and number of exhibits were the
best in the three years. The principal ex-
hibitors were J. J. Mitchell, N. W. Har-
ris, E. T. Crane, Mrs. Kellogg Fair-
banks, C. L. Hutchinson, George Stur-
gis, Mrs. B. N. Isham and M. A. Ryer-
son, although there were many others.

It is reported that the E. G. Hill Co.,
Richmond, Ind., has bought the stock
of the new chrysanthemum, Lynnwood
Hall.

Those who select the best paper and
then confine their advertising to it, can
afford enough space to make their ad-
vertisements effective.

One of the best growers for one of the
biggest cut flower markets still ventilates
his houses by means of notched sticks —
but he watches the notches.

Edwakd Amerpohl, of Janesville,
Wis., with whom Nephrolepis Amer-
pohlii originated, says he has begun
working up stock of an improved form.

At the exhibition of the Royal Horti-
cultural Society, London, England, Octo-
ber 29, the American carnations, Bea-
con, Winsor and Rose-pink Enchantress,
were given awards of merit.

In England it is noted that the inter-
est in chrysanthemum shows is declin-
ing, and one of the reasons offered is
the later-day practice of requiring
blooms to be staged in vases instead of
on boards, as formerly was the universal
custom.

The red carnation, Britannia, which
made a great stir in England last sea-
son, is giving some fine blooms wher-
ever i,t is being tried in the United
States, but is late in blooming and does
not give the stems required. With
home propagated stock growers may
have better success next season.

It wi'l interest many in the trade
that conditions are such that South
Water street commission houses, itfi
Chicago, that have handled large
quantities of bouquet green in recent
years, this season find conditions such
that they are taking little or no Jjand
in the green trade.

RECEIVER FOR TEMPLIN CO.

The Templin Co., with a large nursery
and seed business at Calla, O., and a
florist establishment in Youngstown, has
■^fibeen placed in the hands of a receiver.
' C. Edwin Oyster, president of the Gen-
eral Audit Co., of Youngstown, has
been named as receiver and will in the
future have charge of the business.

The assets of the company are ap-
proximately $90,000. The liabilities, not
including the capital stock, are placed
at about, the same figure. The capital-
ization of the company is only $35,000,
a small figure compared to the volume
of business transacted.

The receivership was not established
for the purpose of winding up the busi-
ness, but operation will continue as here-
tofore. The Templin Co. has been en-
tangled for some time, and a committee
representing the Youngstown . Credit
Men's Association has been in charge.
The committee consisted of C. Edwin
Oyster, W. D. McCloskey, cashier of the
East Palestine bank, and Harry Schmick,
cashier of the defunct First National
bank of Leetonia. The latter institu-
tion was the Templin Co. 's heaviest
creditor. The subject of a receivership
has been under discussion for some time
and culminated in a petition in the
United States Court at Cleveland.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The market has been decidedly dull
since last report. The crop of Bride and
Bridesmaid is heavy with every grower
of roses and the daily receipts since the
middle of last week have been greater
than the demand. It always happens
that when the crop is at the fuU in Chi-
cago it also is heavy with those who
buy part of their supplies^in this market,
but grow another part under their own
glass. When a man has a house or two
of chrysanthemums ready to cut and a
big crop of Bride and Bridesmaid it
hardly is to be expected that he will do
otherwise than push the sale of this stock
and order as little as possible from Chi-
cago.

The result has been a noticeable re-
duction in the shipping demand, while
the local buyers do not get beyond the
first house visited in their daily rounds
of the market. These are conditions
which are met with periodically and
which in this instance are largely due to
the fine weather we have been having.
It has greatly increased production and
curtailed demand, for flowers are most
sought when skies are wintry.

Also, the greatly increased supply of
low grade chrysanthemums has been a
large factor in weakening the market.
The vegetable growers did so well with
mums last year that nearly all of them
have contributed to the glut this fall,
practically every man doubling his plant-
ing. The mums promise to be pretty
well out of the way by Thanksgiving
and the heavy crop of roses will last
only a few days, so a change in the
weather is likely to bring a radical
change in the market.

There is enough and to spare of every

thing except Beauties and camationa of
shipping quality. The supply of Beau-
ties is so light that prices have advanced
to Thanksgiving quotations. The supply
of carnations is equal to requirements
if made known early in the day, but late
orders that called for good stock were
cut by at least one house in the 'face of
Monday's rose glut.

Paper White narcissi are now ready.

Bronze galas has arrived and relieved
the shortage. All other green stock has
been plentiful right along.

Thanksgiving.

With the present glut in the market
a decided change in the weather will be
necessary if advanced prices are to be
realized at Thanksgiving. Growers are
cautioned that there is no possibility of
profit by holding ba«k their stock. Send
it along each day. As buyers realize
they can get good, fresh material with
no advance in prices they will push for
business and make a fair outlet. Any-
thing like accumulating stock for No-
vember 27 will result in disaster that
'day.

Poehlmann at Little Rock.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. sent eighteen
large boxes to the flower show at Little
Bock, Ark., and only got them through
after a deal of trouble. To begin with,
the St. Paul train due to bring the
stock to Chicago was late and connec-
tions were missed. Investigation showed
that Shipping by way of Memphis would
permit a transfer to put the stuff into
Little Eock in time, so it was dispatched
by this roundabout way, only to get into
a wreck on the Illinois Central and suf-
fer another missed connection, but when

finally staged the stock was the most ad-
mired feature of the show. Among other
winnings were two silver cups.

August Poehlmann and A. L. Vaughan
were the only Chicagoans at Little Eock.
Mr. Poehlmann says he never has seen
a show that was so well attended in pro-
portion to the size of the town, nor has
he seen one where the best people of the
city took so much interest. He was well
pleased that he exhibited.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. also exhibited
largely at St. Louis, with their custom-
ary success.

Qub Meeting.

About a dozen members turned out to
the meeting of the Florists' Club Novem-
ber 14. Walter Scott, of La Grange,
and Frank Mitsch, of Eogers Park, were
elected to membership. There were thre6
proposals, to be voted on next month.
E. r. Winterson was elected treasurer.

It was voted to make December 12
rose night, and all those who have new
rosea are invited to exhibit. Local grow-
ers will show what they can do in the
way of high grade stock.

Various Notei.

C. L. Washburn says he lays the pres-
ent state of the market entirely to the
heavy crop of fine Bride and Bridesmaid
roses and that he expects a change in a
very few days. Bassett & Washburn are
cutting a fine lot of giganteum lilies.

A. L. Eandall Co. is rushing the sea-
son, for they have poinsettias now ready.
Stevia is another of their additions to
the list.

E. C. Amling says he considers the
weak violet market to be due to the fine
weather and says he looks for a stiffen-

ing in demand and values as soon as we
get typical November days. Violets cer-
tainly never were finer with any of the
wholesale houses.

Anton Then says he took first prize on
White Lawson carnation at the fiower
show, instead of second as was reported
last week.

The E. F. Winterson Co. is still re-
ceiving cosmos, but it is indoor grown.

A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry,
who was judge of the flower show at
Little Eock, Ark., last week, went to
his old home at Collinston, Ala., for a
Sunday visit.

It is reported that the Batons' ship
came in last week.

F. F. Benthey, who became a convert
to Killarney last season, says that it
still sells much better than Maid and
that it always is possible to sell out on
Killarney, while Maid carried over every
night during the present glut.

Peter Eeinberg and the Evert brothers
returned Sunday morning from Duquoin,
111., with so many quail that Leonard
Kill had to meet them at the train with
the automobile.

C. W. McKellar is receiving daily con-
signments of gardenias which are of
good quali^ and which he says sell ex-
cellently.

Frank Beu has named the bronze pom-
pon chrysanthemum which he has been
growing for several years, calling it Mrs.
Beu.

E. H. Hunt calls attention to the fact
that there is no more talk of a shortage
of chrysanthemums for Thanksgiving.

Leonard Kill is well pleased with the
reception given the Mrs. Marshall Field
rose at the St. Louis flower show, where
it was an attraction second only to the

interest with which it was viewed by
the visitors to the Chicago show. It took
first in the "any other variety" class.

John Tait, foreman for Weiland &
Risch, was run down by an automobile
while crossing Bidge avenue in Evans-
ton Sunday evening. He was thrown
ten feet and appeared badly injured, but
the automobile did not stop. He will
be around again in a few days.

E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
says he has' been figuring on how the
growers are coming out this month and
finds that they are producing about fif-
teen per cent greater quantity than at
this date last year, and receiving at
present nearly twenty per cent less
money; but he looks for a radical change
in the market when winter days strike in.

George Reinberg is cutting lightly dur-
ing the glut and Joseph Forester con-
gratulates himself that they likely will
get their heaviest crop when the market
is least well supplied.

J. A. Budlong's people report that
it is the first time this season when busi-

ness has not been running well ahead
of last year.

John J. Kruehten says he has no fault
to find with market conditions. While
prices are low, he steadily is increasing
his business. He did not cater to the
shipping trade last winter.

Wietor Bros, say that not only will
they have chrysanthemums in plenty for
Thanksgiving, but that some of the" late
sorts will be holding on until well towards
Christmas. They are this year again
buying all the new sorts in sight.

John Zech, of Zech & Mann, says they
have been particularly favored this week,
in that the shipping demand has kept
them well cleaned out each night.

W. W. Barnard Co. says there is enough
bouquet green so that no florist need
lose any sales because of inability to
get the goods.

Julius A. Peterson, Jr., of Cincinnati,
son of the well-known plantsman, is
taking a course in cut-flower growing at
Morton Grove with the Poehlmann Bros.
Co. Later he intends to see how grow-

ing is done in the east and then join
his father and brother in the business at
Cincinnati.

A. Lange has taken up the burdens of
the "Wilson avenue passengers of the
Northwestern elevated, who think the
Ravenswood people are favored, and vrill
see what he can do to reform the serv-
ice. He was left to cool his heels on
the platform the other evening, and got
hotter and hotter as the Ravenswood
trains went by.

Among the week's visitors were
Thomas Joy, of Joy & Son, Nashville,
Tenn. ; W. T. League, of Hannibal, Mo.;
A. B. Silliman, of Boone, la., the mis-
tletoe man; Edward FuUe, of Fulle
Bros., Richmond, Ind., who reports they
have bought the old Gift place and are
moving the houses to add to their own
range.

ST. LOUIS.

Tlie Market.

Business showed no improvement last
week. Though quite a little funeral
work was done, there was entirely too
much stock in all lines. Prices of roses
have gone down to almost nothing. Car-
nations and fancy mums are holding
their own. Quite a few extra good mums
are coming in. Carnations are not in
oversupply; whites are plentiful, but ool-
ored stock is a little scarce. Rose-pink
Enchantress has the call for fancy.

Paper Whites are coming in, Connon,
of "Webster Groves, being the first with
them. These sell well. Valley is drag-
ging. In green the market is, as usual,
well supplied.

Qub Meeting.

The monthly meeting of the Florists'
Club was held November 14. President
Young made great efforts to have all the
visiting florists present. In this he suc-
ceeded well. Including the visitors, the
attendance was over fifty.

Henry Jennemann, of Webster Groves,
was elected to membership. Two appli-
cations for membership were filed, those
of Charlie Johann, of CoUinsville, 111.,
and A. S. Halstead, of Belleville, 111.

Dispensing with the regular order of
business, the chairman called upon sev-
eral of the visitors for a few remarks.
Among them were: S. S. Skidelsky, who
spoke on the coming national flower
show; J. J. Karins, Herbert Heller, Dr.
A. S. Halstead, A. F. Longren and Wal-
ter Eetzer. The question box led to quite
a discussion on how to advertise and run
a flower show to make it a financial suc-
i-ess. This will again be taken up at

the next regular meeting of the club.
At adjournment the visitors and mem-
bers were requested to go in a body to
the cafe below, where forty sat down
to a turkey lunch with other refresh-
ments and cigars. The speakers were W.
W. Coles, P. J. Hauswirth, George As-
mus, S. S. Skidelsky, J. F. Ammann and
J. J. Karins.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis Horticultural Society
tendered the visiting florists a banquet
November 13, in one of the large rooms
in the hall where the show was held.
The executive committee, composed of
ten members, was present, and all visit-
ing florists. F. W. Brockman acted as
toastmaster. Speeches were assigned to
James Wilson, P. J. Hauswirth, E. H.
Mann, S. S. Skidelsky, W. W. Coles,
Andrew Meyer, Sr., Leonard Kill, Au-
gust Poehlmann, O. G. Koenig and Fred
H. Meinhardt. The affair was most en-
joyable. The same night the local ladies
gave a theater party to the visiting
ladies, Mrs, Leonard Kill, of Chicago;
Mrs. J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati; Mrs.
M. S. Vesey, of Fort Wayne; Mrs. J.
S. Wilson, ' of Webster Springs. The
hostesses were Mrs. H. G. Berning, Mrs.
Fred C. Weber, Mrs. Theo. Miller, Mrs.
John Steidle, Mrs. Botenhoefer, Mrs. J.
J. Beneke and the Misses Meinhardt, five
in number. All the ladies carried large
blooms of chrysanthemums. Eddie Foy,
the comedian, in the play commented
on the florists' ladies being present.

November 13 Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Kill, of Chicago, entertained a party
of friends at supper at the Jefferson
hotel. Their guests were Mr. and Mrs.
J. S. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Peter-

son, Mr. and Mrs. Henry G. Berning,
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Beneke. !

The Foster Floral Co. had the floral
decorations for the opening of the new
department store of Scruggs- Vandevort
and the Barney Dry Goods Co., at Tenth
and Olive streets. A number of other
florists had floral designs to send.

A. G. Greiner had a fine display of
cacti at the flower show. Mr. Greiner
says he will prepare a great display at
the national flower show at Chicago next
November.

Kelley & Petschonek have bought out
the Eggeling Floral Co. branch at Del-
mar and Kingshighway. Mif. Kelley was
formerly with Ostertag BrtisT, and Mr.
Petschonek was the bookkeeper for the
Eggeling Co. These two young men
should do well, as they have one of the
best stands in the west end.

Julius Koenig has left the employ of
the park department and is now with
Ostertag Bros.

J. W. Dunford has bought the control-
ling interest in the Gallagher Floral Co.,
on Page avenue, which will be run as
a retail store.

The local rose growers had quite a
discussion during the week as to which
was the i)eat new rose exhibited this
year. Among those mentioned were
Eeinberg's Mrs. Marshall Field, Hill's
Rhea Reid and Princess, Poehlmann 's
Mrs. Potter Palmer, Scott's Mrs. Jar-
dine, Heller's William R. Smith, and the
Cardinal. This subject will be taken up
at the next club ijieeting. J. J. B.

The Market.

Conditions remain about the same as
last week. Mums are still a glut and
are selling cheap. Eoses are more
plentiful and everything seems to move
slo^yly. Quite a number of the downtown
florists are complaining about there being
little doing.

Southern holly has arrived. This
week one of the Walnut street stores
had a large window elaborately deco-
rated with it, making the appearance of
Christmas.

. Various Notes.

A visit to the greenhouses of the
William Eock Flower Co. found every-
thing, as usual, neat and clean. They
are cutting quite a fine lot of roses.
Their carnations are looking well, but
the main crop will probably not be on
by Christmas. They also have a fine
l)ench of new seedling carnations of
their own. As they were not all in

bloom, we could not say much about the
colors, but the growth looked strong
and healthy. They have no success with
the Lawson carnation, but gt'ow Nelson
Fisher in fine shape. They have four
houses 27x240 in carnations, and all are
in solid beds, and to see them will con-
vince anyone that this way of growing
is as good as on raised benches. They
are forcing about 500 valley each week.
They have fourteen men working on the
place and all seem to keep busy.

To see Samuel Murray 's greenhouses
is a treat to anyone. It is a special
treat to see his fine Gloire de Lorraine
begonias. He has about 500, and all in
bloom and in excellent shape. Almost
any pan or pot would answer for a show
plant. Mr. Sharp, the grower, is proud
of his begonias, and truly he has a
right to be. They also have a house of
very fine Whitmani ferns.

B. S. Brown, now over 70 years of
age, is as busy as any young man work-
ing among his plants. Their mums are
fine and large, but they are almost sold

out, selling them mostly wholesale, sup-
jtlying the downtown stores. They have
some fine specimens of Pandanus
Voitchii, being the largest in the city.

We found Nel?on Jarrett quite busy
j)lanting pansies. He says that he will
plant about 40,000. - His new coldframes
on the south side of his new greenhouse
make an ideal place for pansies. Hif
propagating bench is full of cuttings of
all kinds of plants. He now has plenty
of room for plants in the two new
large houses, and it will take him all
winter to fill them. The heating appa-
ratus is working splendidly. Mr. Jar-
rett did the building of the greenhouses
and also put in his own boilers and
piping. He has surely done well this
summer.

Charles Humfeld, of Clay Center, Kan.,
visited the florists of this city last week.
He also visited George M. Kellogg 's
place at Pleasant Hill, Mo. He was
accompanied by his grower, Budolph von
der Euhr, and Ed Humfeld, of this city.
They report a good time and a fine daj.

They say that Mr. Kellogg 's place is in
excellent condition. The verbena king
says that business is quiet in Clay Cen-
ter, but he 13 looking forward to a good
trade for spring. He is making large
preparations to meet all demands.

We are sorry to have to report the
death of Miss Julia Dalley, who with
her sister, Miss Maria Dalley, formerly
conducted a flower store on Eleventh
street near Walnut. They have not
been in business since last spring. The
building their store was in has been torn
down and is being replaced by a larger
one. Miss Dalley 's funeral was held
at the Trinity Episcopal church, Friday,
November 15. Miss Dalley leaves a
large circle of friends. The high esteem
in which she was held was shown by the

VAYSIDE NOTES.

Mrs. Robt. B. Stiles, of Petersburg,
Va., has recently completed a fine range
of glass upon her new property. Busi-
ness is good, with prospects of an active
season. .Judging from present appear-
ances, it will not be long ere all stock
will be grown right at home.

Henry Steinnietz, of Ealeigh, N. C,
has added new houses and rebuilt sev-
eral old ones. A leader with him is
Magnolia grandiflora, of which he raises
a big stock in all sizes.

J. L. O'Quinn & Co., of Baleigh,
report an excellent season, with increas-
ing demand for high-class stock.

The Dillworth Park Gardens, of Char-
lotte, N. C, cater to the best trade and
make an attractive display, which catches
and pays.

Chas, A. Moss, of Spartanburg, S. C,
is considering the purchase of a &ie loca-
tion, with the intention of either remov-
ing his old plant or building a new one.
He reports a splendid business and says
some of his success is due to the up-to-
date ideas conveyed through the col-
umns of the Review. He gave a mum
show recently and had specimen blooms
that would have taken premiums at the
big shows. W.

The Market.

Last week was one of disappointments,
as business was just about as bad as it
could be. The business of the stores
was practically at a standstill and, with
a large quantity of stock coming into
the wholesale houses every day, prices
started toward the bottom. It was not
until Saturday that there were any signs
of a relief. Then a fairly good demand
made itself felt, and large quantities
of flowers were moved off at good prices,
especially when compared with those of
a few days previous. There was no
demand for funeral flowers or any other
kind, and though we expect a let-up in
business at this time of the year, still
we were not quite ready for what hap-
pened. The demand is not much so far
this week, but it seems that the glut of
mums is over and that those left will be
very good stock.

Roses of all varieties, with the excep-
tion of Beauties, are coming in heavily,
and many go by the job lot. Carnations
are still holding their own, with the ex-
ception of whites, which are moving

slowly. Carnations are beginning to
come more strongly, and it looks as if we
will be well supplied with them for
Thanksgiving. Violets are increasing in
supply and selling fairly well. Other
flowers are about as last reported. Box-
wood will soon be in the market, and,
judging from the advance orders, it will
be much in demand this season.

Various Notes.

Henry Smith, of Grand Rapids, is
sending some good mums to this market.

C. P. Dieterich & Bro., Maysville, Ky.,
are in with single violets that are good
and sell well.

Ed Ellison, who for many years has
been conducting a small range of glass
on Biddle street, Clifton, one of the
suburbs of this city, has settled up his
affairs and left for England. He is a
native of that country and for many
years has been planning to go /here to
spend the rest of his life. He was quite
a character among the florists of this
city and was well known by all of them.
He made roses a specialty and grew La
France as his main crop, which he did
especially well. He never changed the
stock, but grew the same plants year
after year. For years he has lived in
the potting shed, with no other com-
panions than his cats, of which he had a
great many. He made a good deal of
money at the business, but spent it all
trying to perfect some sort of a boat,
which proved to be a failure.

J. T. Conger, of Hartwell, 0., was
elected to the council in that city at the
last election.

Weiland & Olinger have made a fine
record at the fall shows, in several beating

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

Conditions have slightly improved
when compared with those of a week
ago. There are not so many chrysan-
themums coming into the market, and
the demand, particularly from out of
town points, is better. Business is still
far from brisk, however. The prices
realized are low and uneven, some good
stock being unsold. Not so much is
wasted, the fakers being more in evi-
dence.

The midseason varieties of chrysanthe-
mums have pretty much disappeared. The
late sorts are now taking their place,
Bonnaffon, Eaton, Chadwick and Mrs.
Jerome Jones being the principal yel-
lows and white, while Maud Dean and
Adelia, pinks, are to be seen in limited
quantities. The pompons are now at
their heighl, Lulu, Klondike, Briolus
and Quinolia being almost as familiar
in the market as the Major and Timo-
thy. Singles, too, are having their inn-
ing, a fine white, resembling a daisy,
being prominent.

Not a great deal can be said about
the general list of flowers. Sales are
disappointing, and there is little to en-
thuse over in the market conditions of
today. Good judges confidently predict
an improvement by November 25, when
the season will open in earnest. The
fine growing weather of the last fort-
night has greatly improved the quality
of much of the stock coming in. White
violets have made their appearance.

Fancy flowers are selling; ordinary
flowers not.

Bulb Planting Season.

The bulb planting season has been
jAther late this year. It is now fully
vnaer way. The seed houses are receiv-
ing many orders for tulips, hyacinths
und daffodils, to be planted in the beds
that have been filled with geraniums
and other soft-wooded plants during the
summer. At Fairmount park, the ex-
tensive planting of bulbs has just been
completed. The parterre, or sunken gar-
den, is filled this year with 80,000 tulips,
planted six or seven inches apart, to
assure a good effect. The varieties used
are Artus, Chrysolora, La Beine, Rose

parterre are, I think, in red and white,
Artus and L'Immaculee. At the east
end a new arrangement has just been
completed. These beds are planted in
fancy tulips, chiefly.

The Latest Move.

The event of the week in wholesale
circles is the removal of W. E. Mc-
Kissick from 1221 Filbert street to 1619
and 1621 Banstead street. The move
was effected at night, business being
conducted in the old place one day and
opened in the new place the next morn-
ing. The move was made to secure bet-
ter facilities. The new establishment
has a floor space of 30x51 feet, with a
gallery running around it. This will be
utilized for the stock of florists' sup-
plies. A cold storage room 16x16 feet

is built and regulated on the modern
lines.

W. E. McKissick started work with
Samuel S. Pennock in 1893. Seven and
one-half years later he resigned his posi-
tion and soon after accepted one with
Leo Niessen, becoming vice-president of
the Leo Niessen Co. when the business
was incorporated a few years later. Mr.
McKissick resigned June 30, 1905, and
on September 4 of th^ same year started
in business for himself in the building
he has just vacated. Mr. McKissick is
a hard worker, enterprising nnd re-
sourceful. His business has grown rap-
idly, now requiring fifteen employees
to handle the stock of his growers.

Victor Grosbens of Glenside.

"When it became known that the Leo
Niessen Co. was selling flowers from
two brand-new plants, one at Glenside,
the other at Hatboro, it behooved Phil
to secure first-hand knowledge of these
two places of more than ordinary inter-

€st. A schedule was laid out embracing
visits to Glenside and Hatboro in the
same afternoon, but other demands on
the correspondent's time limited the
first efforts to Glenside alone.

Victor Groshens, as is well known, was
foreman for many years in charge of the
Hugh Graham place at Logan. His man-
agement was recognized as most able in
all the cultural details, and when Mr.
Groshens started out for himself last
spring, with a silent partner, great in-
terest was manifested in his plant.
Twenty acres of ground were purchased
adjoining the places of A. Farenwald
and Edward Towill. Here two splendid
houses 28x500, open between, were erect-
ed on plans and with material furnished
by the King Construction Co., North
Tonawanda, N. Y. Mr. Groshens worked
early and late to such good purpose
that on the day before the glorious
Fourth these houses, embracing some-
thing over 30,000 square feet of glass,
were planted with 16,000 Bride, Brides-
maid and Bichmond roses in solid beds,
the number of plants being evenly ai-
vided between the three varieties. The
roses have made excellent growth and
promise well for the coming season, the
Richmond being especially fine. Mr.
Groshens modestly says that the soil of
the locality is well adapted to red roses.
A fine boiler-shed, 50x50, with coalbin

and springhouse adjoining, is nearly
completed. Two eighty horse-power re-
turn tubular boilers are harnessed to-
gether, supplying steam through a main
running across the centers of the two
long houses, sloping from the center to
each end, thus securing the best circula-
tion. A 75-foot brick stack gives ample
draft.

Mr. Groshens has large ideas, feeling
that the day has passed when it is pos-
sible to secure results with a small start
and that in order to do justice to his
building he must have enough glass to
become a factor in the Eising Eastern
Market.

Variota Notes.

There were a number of visitors in
this city last week who went down to
Robert Scott & Son's, at Sharon Hill,
to call on Mrs. Jardine. Benjamin Dor-
rance, of Dorranceton, Pa., made his
second call, Robert Craig escorted
"William R. Smith, of the Botanic Gar-
dens, "Washington, D. C, who also paid
his respects. Another caller was L. J.
Renter, of "Westerly, R. I., seen once
nxore in the City of Brotherly Love.
A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., far
famed as a grower of roses, and almost
everything else, was there, too.

Herman Zimmer, "West Collingswood,
N. J., exhibited two fine chrysanthemums

before the Florists' Club at the Novem-
ber meeting. One was Mrs. Perrin, the
other Zimmer 's Yellow. Credit should
have been given before.

The floral photographs of Charles
Henry Fox, now appearing in the Re-
view, have attracted much attention.
Last week's debutante's bunch, which
adorned the cover of the Thanksgiving
number, was especially noteworthy.

William J. Moore, of the S. S. Pen-
nock-Meehan Co., is on the jury this
week.

B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., has
just returned from a business trip. Mr.
Eschner reports business conditions as
improving in all the principal cities,
the florists of Pittsburg being espe-
cially busy when he was there a few days
ago. Mr. Eschner spoke with much
pleasure of his visit to the wonderful
Chicago show in the Coliseum, the finest
thing of its kind ever held in this or
any other country. The attendance was
gratifyingly large.

John Crawford, well known in floral
circles in this city, has joined the forces
of Berger Bros.

Pennock Bros, had a beautiful window
decoration this week, composed entirely
of single chrysanthemums, yellow, white
and an ideal shade of burnt orange.
They were grown by Henry I. Faust, of
Merion.

ASHES IN CONCRETE.

For concrete foundations, sides of
greenhouses and solid benches, is soft
coal ashes and cinders just as good as
crushed stone and sandl S. S. P.

A mixture of clean gravel and cement
in the proportions of seven of gravel to
one. of cement is as good for founda-
tions as there is any need for. For
walls, sides of benches, etc., where there
is an exposure above ground, there is
nothing better than hard-coal ashes for
a mixture. The proportion ^ should be
five of ashes to one of cement. This
concrete is tough and firm and possesses
the property of resisting the ravages of
frost better than any other mixture that
I know of. Soft coal ashes do not an-
swer the purpose so well, as the mixture
never seems to set to the proper condi-
tion of hardness. Eibes.

State of Trade.

Trade still holds up well, but the bulk
of the business is done on mums. Most
of the growers report that they are
caught up nicely on their mums and
all they have now can be held nicely
for Thanksgiving, while some *few
growers report they are about cleaned
up on mums. The outlook here for good
mums, roses and carnations for Thanks-
giving is satisfactory. Maids and Kil-
larney have been badly oflf color for the
last two weeks, but the growers say the
next crop will be on soon.
Qub Meeting.

The Florists' Club met November 12,
but the business part of the meeting
■was dispensed with, as the mum show
was on and competition was very keen.

The committee appointed the follow-
ing judges: Fred Windmiller, of Lan-
caster; Albert Hills and Fred Hohen-
stine, of this city. The following awards
were made, to the entire satisfaction of
all competitors:

ones.

Trade has been rather quiet, although
there is some fine stock to be had.
Splendid chrysanthemums are offered
and roses are of fine quality. Carna-
tions are »ot plentiful.

Jacob Schulz recently had a public
chrysanthemum exhibition at his store,
which was a big success. The store
was beautifully decorated and there
•was a great variety of chrysanthe-
mums, carnations and roses artistically
arranged. One of the special features
was a pair of boxwood plants, trimmed
and trained in the shape of geese.
Ficus pandurata was a notable feature
to the visitors.

John V. Bohrman is cutting some
fine Richmond, Golden Gate and Perle
roses and his place is in fine shape,

Henry Fuchs has opened a store in
the Hopkins theater. The fixtures are
light oak, with the refrigerator to
match, and it makes a handsome store.

Fred Schulz, who has started in the
wholesale business, reports business
picking up.

C. B. Thompson is attracting atten-
tion with some elaborate show window
decorations. H. L.

Union City, Pa.— The Union City
Greenhouses, owned by W. J. Olds, were
recently destroyed by fire. The loss
amounted to $2,500, only a small paj-t
of which was covered by insurance.

MiDDLETOWN, O, — The greenhouses of
Henry Behrens have been equipped with
electricity. This is an improvement
that is highly appreciated by customers
who wish to select their purchases in the
evening, as the houses are brilliantly
lighted.

FOET Collins, Colo. — Espelin & War-
ren are building four greenhouses 20x
85, on a tract of land leased from the
city for a term of years. This firm
had the decorations for the opening of
the new store of the State Mercantile
Co., November 14. Southern smilax,
palms, ferns and chrysanthemums were
used.

All the Spencer type of sweet peas
are shy seeders.

Have you secured the postoflBce 0. K.
on your 1908 prize offers?

German grass seeds are now reaching
this country in large quantities.

These are the days when the canner
goes to the seedsman, not the seedsman
to the canner.

Henry Nungesser & Co., New York,
issued their wholesale price list of grass
seeds November 14.

Edwin Oyster has been appointed
receiver for the Templin Co., Calla, O.
The assets and liabilities each are said
to be about $90,000.

How much space are you giving in
your 1908 catalogue to cuts of "your
not-for-sale face, your hardly-for-sale
buildings," or your much coveted office
and sales force?

There is genuine alarm as to the
situation in sugar corns, but while late
sorts are undeniably scarce, it is to be
remembered that it always is darkest
just before dawn.

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture has figured out that the yield of
corn this year is twenty-six bushels per
acre, as against 30.3 last year, and a
ten-year average of 25.4.

Seedsmen not only have this season
to contend with short crops and high
prices, but short supplies of money and
high interest rates for carrying them to
the time of turning the seeds into cash.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
shows that in 1906 the United States
imported 872,566 bushels of onions,
338,752 bushels of which came from
England or its possessions, 205,121
bushels from Bermuda and 202,637
bushels from Spain.

Charles P. Guelf, of Jerome B. Eice
Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., is visiting
Chicago. He makes his headquarters at
present at Columbus, O., and says that
from his point of view it looks as
though there will be pyrotechnics a
little later in onion and sweet corn.

C. S. Clark, Wakeman, O., makes a
dismal report. "I very much regret to
inform you," he writes, "that the late
varieties for seed refuse to dry. Stow-
ell's Evergreen and all late sorts are no
drier than they were a month ago, due
to cold, wet weather and an unmatured
cob."

The United States Department of Ag-
riculture has issued a bulletin on
"Eoselle: Its Culture and Uses." The
plant is an annual and the bulletin rec-
ommends it as a commercial crop for
jam or jellies, and as a substitute for
cranberry sauce. Only the fleshy calyxes
surrounding the seedpod are used for this
purpose. Botanically the plant is Hibis-
cus sabdariffe. Southern seedsmen will
be interested.

Mention The Review when you write.

SO general throughout the entire list of
garden peas and beans, small seeds of all
kinds, and even flower seeds, as they are
this year; but, on the other hand, there
seem to be few absolutely total failures.
It is a year of shortages sufficiently acute
to warrant the steadily advancing prices
which are being asked for ev«ry line of
good seed stock."

LIVINGSTON'S NEW TOMATO.

The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus,
O., is enthusiastic over its new tomato,
Livingston's Coreless, and feels sure it
will take the place of many varieties now
used for canning and Catsup making,
not even excepting their good old Stone.
It is of large size, globe-shaped, full at
the stem end, bright red, a strong grow-
er and a big cropper. It always is free
from the green core and is therefore an
excellent table variety, although slightly
more acid than Livingston's Globe. The
flesh is firm, so that it is a good shipper.

The Livingston Seed Co. is widely
known for its work with the tomato, to
this house probably more than any other
being due the present perfection of this
fruit. In 1905 they sent out Living-
ston's Globe, which is an excellent
thing, and in 1907 Livingston's- Hum-
mer, which has proved a winner. The
1908 introduction is in the same line of
advance and these three are the result of
the continuation of the careful work of
hybridization and selection which gave to
the trade and the country such standard
sorts as Stone.

ENGLISH NOVELTIES.

One of the principal sources from
which the American seed trade draws
Its flower seed novelties is the firm of
Watkins & Simpson, London, and this
year's novelty list from this house of
world-wide connections shows the usual
number of new varieties. The leading
features are Eschscholtzia Dainty
Queen and Godetia Crimson Glow
which have been previously mentioned
•° >f ®^® columns. In addition there
IS Model, a new and distinct variety
of ostrich plume aster which it is
thought is a great acquisition as a
border aster. The habit is compact
and the plants are not more than six
inches high. Mauve Queen is a new
florists' cut flower aster, the color be-
ing described as a rich, pearl gray
nearly approaching the color of the
t-ountess of Eadnor sweet pea. The
flowers are large, double and carried
on long stems. It is in the Comet class

In vegetables Watkins & Simpson

special attention to Green Sprouting

WHOLESALE SEEDSMEN'S LEAGUE.

In the Review for November 14 oc-
curred the following paragraph:

The last meeting of the Wholesale Seedsmen's
League has helped out somewhat on the price
question, but the unfortunate circumstance that
only a sectional view of the situation is taken
at the league meetings is thought by some to
lessen the general value of its price lists.

To the concluding remarks, that the
league takes a sectional view of the
seed crop conditions, I beg to demur
and to reply that, while most of the
western seed merchants have withdrawn
from the Wholesale Seedsmen's League,
the eastern and middle state members
of the boar<f do anything but take a
sectional view of crop conditions; quite
to the contrary, they take a world's
view^ for, wherever located, they obtain
portions of their contracted supplies
from every section of the globe from
whence garden seeds are shipped, and
are in such intimate correspondence with
American and foreign growers that no
other men know more, and many not as
much.

The men who compose the board of
directors of the league are not influ-
enced by isolated reports of crop condi-
tions, good or bad, any more from Con«

green toward tbe extremities, and cbanging witb the season to a warm tint in autumn.

In size the leaves are (mall beautifully dentate, and tbe edges, being prettily crimped,

necticut than from Kansas, any more
from California than from Ohio, or any
more from England than from Ger-
many, for they are of far broader vision.

The suggested values of October 24
were very conservative, as who now
would be willing to sell many seeds at
the prices then proposed? In their wide
experiences the directors of the league
have heard the cry of wolf too often
to be stampeded by bulls in the mar-
ket, growers of onion seed, sugar corn,
peas, beans and some other things.

The values of the league lists are
marked by the very general desire of
seedsmen not members of the league to
get possession of copies.

JOHNSON'S NOVELTIES.

The firm of W. W. Johnson & Son,
Boston, England, is prolific in novelties
and this year sends out its customary
list. American seedsmen feature many
of Johnson's new things in their cata-
logues and will be interested in this
year's oflPerings, first of which is the
Perfect pea, a selection from Daisy but
growing taller, with deep green pods
produced in pairs. It is said to be a
large cropper. The new Cos lettuce Em-
peror, Johnsons place in the front rank
of Cos lettuces. It is of large size,
hearts well and is of fine flavor; espe-
cially good for exhibition work. Mars
is a new marrowfat pea offered for
maincrop work. It is of robust growtjj,
bearing large, dark green pods in pairs,
each pod containing eight to ten large,
dark green peas. It rather resembles
Glory of Devon. This is an introduc-
tion of Barr & Sons, which Johnsons
endorse. First Crop is a n^w cabbage,
the earliest of all the pointed varieties,
which Johnsons say they are convinced
is distinct from any other on the mar-

ASTER SHOW IN ERFURT.

A very nice and interesting little
autumn aster show was arranged Octo-
ber 13 in that well-known German horti-
cultural town of Erfurt, by the local
union of horticulturists. Not only a
number of Erfurt firms sent their ex-
hibits, but some of our best known and
leading German growers of herbaceous
plants, as well, took part in it. I men-
tion some of them: H. Junge, Hameln;
G. Arends,' Konsdorf ; Goos & Koene-
mann, Niederwalluf. All of these have
made the growing and improving of
autumn asters, besides other herbaceous
plants, a special line of their business.

The flowers of autumn asters of all
varieties were arranged in a great num-
ber of vases on a long row of tables
and presented a very fine sight by their
freshness, difference in color and form.

with its lovely pink-red color, was most
admired. Other good novelties of the
same exhibitor were Rosalinde, Christo-
beles and Gartendirektor Trip. Several
local firms, such as J. C. Schmidt, F.
Sturm and Weigelt & Co., showed by
some beautiful designs, wreaths and
hampers, entirely composed of autumn
asters, what these flowers are worth
in the hands of a clever florist.

The number of varieties sent was very
large; all were properly labeled and so
gave every friend of these beautiful
autumn blooms an opportunity for a
close study of, and acquaintance with,
the best old and new sorts.

I do not doubt that in a very few
years autumn asters will be used in parks
and gardens on a much greater scale
than is the case at present. A very good
and faithful friend of them died only
recently, F. Trip, the superintendent of
public parks in Hanover. He was a
great admirer of all autumn asters and
used them with great skill quite largely
in the decoration of the places under
his care. Many a landscape man was
able to benefit by a visit to the public
parks of Hanover in the months of Sep-
tember and October, when all the autumn
asters were in full flower. W. H

considerably smaller than last year, and,
as the bad weather has sadly affected
this species, the crop is small. The
market has already opened with high
prices, with certainty of an advance, as
last year's stock is exhausted.

Alopecurus pratensis yields a poor
crop of satisfactory quality. The cleans-
ing of the original seed as delivered by
the growers is exceedingly tiresome and
wastes much time, in consequence eft the
maiden seed containing much Aira
caespitosa, which can only be separated
by specially constructed machines, and
occasions a loss in weight of fifteen per
cent to twenty per cent. The first-class
qualities therefore command high prices.
The power of germination is fair.

Avena elatior produces a small medium
crop of satisfactory quality. Avena
flavescens only cropped in a few favored
places and will not meet the demand.

Bromus inermis yields only a short
crop, prices being higher than last sea-
son 's.

Cynosurus cristatus has hardly yield-
ed a medium crop. Cutting was late and
the seed could only be housed under
difficulties.

for a medium crop, the quality of which
is most variable, as considerable por-
tions were got in during wet weather.
The germinating power has also suf-
fered.

Festuca ovina angustif olia has turned
out badly everywhere, so that only small
quqintities will be offered, for which
collectors will demand high prices. In
Festuca pratensis, according to official
reports from America, the jirea of culti-
vation has been still further reduced, so
that the total crop will turn out much
lower than formerly. The prices, which
opened reasonably, have already expe-
rienced a noticeable rise, which may be
expected to advance yet. Festuca
elatior has a poor crop and is estimated
to produce about two-thirds of last
year's yield. Festuca heterophylla is
almost a failure, and, has only been har-
vested in quite insignificant quantities.

Lolium perenne also shows poorly
against former yields. The unfavorable
weather prevented a normal develop-
ment, so that the grounds were behind-
hand and poor, the consequence being
that the weight is very low, and the
average will certainly not exceed twenty-
three to twenty-four pounds per bushel.

Lolium Italicum also suffered in the
United Kingdom from unfavorable
weather, whereas France has a much
better crop of good quality.
•:,'-Pea^ pratensis is a moderate yield, and
yearling stocks are said to be available.
The market opened exceedingly high, and
the prices are fixed and controlled by a
syndicate. This seed was entirely sold
out in Europe last season. Poa nemo-
ralis is scarce, and high rates have to
be paid to collectors. Poa trivialis is
one-third less than' last year, and prices
consequently dearer.

Medicago sativa was last season
cleared to the last seed, but prices
opened comparatively cheap on the pros-
pect of an average crop. A lively de-
mand for the first lots thrashed forced
the prices up to such a degree that to-
day's quotations are 10 shillings per
hundredweight higher than at the com-
■jnencement of the season. Furthermore,
*the later arrivals suffered so much in
color from wet weather during the har-
vest that fine, high colored qualities are
rare, and it is impossible to foresee what
price fluctuations this article will yet
experience.

ASPARAGUS.

I would like to know if it is safe to
set asparagus roots in Iowa late in the
fall. I have always set them in the
spring, but would like to replace the
missing ones in an acre patch this fall,
if it is safe to do so. J. F. C.

I have had but one experience in
planting asparagus in the field in the
fall. Having many vacancies in my old
bed, I decided to transplant some nice
two-year-old plants and fill all the broken
ranks, but although they were carefully
handled, and a nice rain came next day,
I lost nearly all of them and had to fill
in again in the spring. Some growers
report fair success in planting in the
fall, but I have never seen this method
practiced in this latitude. The better
way by far would be to this fall mark
the places of the missing plants, either
by putting up small stakes or making a
hole with a spade, and put in the plants
next spring, when you are reasonably
sure of getting them started. If the
places are not marked this fall it will
be difficult to find the right spots in the
spring. Two-year-old plants will be
found best for filling in. H. G.

NORTH MILWAUKEE, VIS.

A Viiit to the Carnation Houses.

While North Milwaukee is not booked
as a beautiful suburb. for dwelling pur-
poses, still it is on the map as a manu-
facturing town and is noted for the
high grade stock of carnations that is
grown in its neighborhood. A visit to
the different establishments certainly
was a treat.

The carnation stock of the new firm,
the Mueller, Schrader Co., Inc., is in a
fine, healthy condition and the good
blooms show that Gust Mueller, the man-
ager pays the closest attention to all
details that tend to success. The firm
also has one raised bench of sweet peas,
which look fine now, but no doubt will
Buffer for lack of head room later. .

The place formerly owned by Mr.
Johannsen, but now the property of the
Wisconsin National Loan & Building
Association of Milwaukee, was left to
care for itself for a long period, but
can now be compared to a street urchin
who has been put in shape to attend
Sunday school, for the place has been
cleaned throughout and been planted
with carnations and mignonette. With
the exception of the Lawsons, the stock
shows that it receives careful attention
at. the hands of Wm. Muel, the grower

now in charge. The Lawsons, too, will
come along by and by.

At the Manke Bros.' place nobody
was at home, for everyone had gone to
help "William Manke, the junior partner
of this concern, get started on the new
road of life. It was on November 6
that he was joined in wedlock with Miss
Ida Koepke, of Milwaukee. Our best
wishes are with him. Their stock of
Enchantress, Lawson, Bountiful and
Cardinal is in fine shape, with a bench
of Aristocrat looking especially thrifty.
Here, also, is a raised bench of sweet
peas which will soon butt up against
the glass and not increase the returns
as expected.

The long established firm of Wm.
Ediefsen, with retail quarters in the
city, will from now on be known as
the Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., having been
incorporated with a capital of $15,000
and with the following members: Wm.
Ediefsen, Kud. Leidiger and Arthur
Leidiger. Mr. Ediefsen will retain the
supervision of the growing end, while
Arthur Leidiger will take charge of the
retail department.

The up-to-date place of Nic Zweifel,
which is never known to be off crop, is
in its usual prime condition. The older
varieties, such as Enchantress, Lawson,
Bountiful, etc., are clean and thrifty,
with plenty of buds of all stages to
produce a steady output for the season.
The newer varieties are well represent-
ed, such as Winsor, Aristocrat, Imperial,
Pink Imperial and Beacon, The last
named seems to hold its own and, as
reported also by other growers, it is
what it was cracked up to be. Winsor
came rather short-stemmed at first, but,
like Lawson, it takes time to get the
really good stems. Aristocrat did not
establish as quickly as it might, but is
coming along nicely now. Another va-
riety which is doing especially well is

White Perfection. Of special interest
on this place ia the bench of seedlings,
which contains very promising varieties
in the Scott pink, red, cerise and white
colors. There is also a violet sport of
iNelson Fisher, which is a novelty and
worthy of mention. Victory also has
become a favorite red on this place, aa
it shows up better this season than last.
Estelle is still an old standby. The little
house of Ivory mums, which certainly
did finely, will help some toward buying
that automobile.

PACIFIC COAST.

BCorticulture on the Pacific coast is
only beginning to awaken to its possi-
bilities.

A. H. Burt, landscape gardener, of
Spokane, Wash., is making a trip of
15,000 miles to visit eastern nurseries
to get new ideas of landscape work and
acquire information as to where stock
may be had as wanted. He says Spokane
has plenty of money and will pay the
price of the best stock the country
affords.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Business continues quiet and the
chances seem to be in favor of its re-
maining so for some time. A few bank
failures around this region have not
helped to liven matters at all, but the
florists do not seem to be any harder
pressed than other lines of trade.

Flowers are plentiful and the quality
throughout is good. Mums are at the
height of their season, and the outdoor
stock, owing to the coixtinued favorable
weather, is first-class in every respect.
The big football game last week cleaned
up all the yellow varieties, but the de-
mand for colors since then has been poor.

Indoor roses appear to be about the
only exception to the general rule. There
is a great scarcity of good pink and red
stock, although Bride and Kaiserin are
more in evidence. " The prices of all such
stock remain at about the same as those
quoted during the last few weeks.

Carnations are good but cheap. They
are probably twenty per cent cheaper
than they were one year ago. Valley
moves slowly. A few Paper White nar-
cissi and Roman hyacinths are seen, but
the demand for them is light.

Smilax and green stuff of all kinds
are plentiful and bring good prices. Eed
berries are more in evidence than ever
and sell well. The street hucksters de-
vote a goodly portion of their attention
to them, together with Princess violets,
which, by the wavf' are in good de-
mand.

RED BERRIES.

The trade in red berries bids fair to
be larger than ever this season. Already
Frisco retailers are being pestered by the
farmers and green-goods hucksters to
place orders for the season's supply.
The red-berry industry results in the
handling of hundreds of tons of the Het-
eromeles arbutifolia yearly and with a
great many farmers is one gf their chief
sources of income. Up to the present
time the weather has been favorable for
the ripening of the berries and large,
bright, plump bunches are the result. If
the conditions remain good until the
bunches are matured there will be little
diflSculty in harvesting any quantity of
good stock. Should we get a few weeks
of foggy weather, coupled with frost, the
chances will not be so good for bright
clusters. The foggy weather turns them
black, but as fog only reaches to certain
localities, the places far inland can al-
ways be depended on to produce good
material. But this makes the handling
and shipping more expensive and adds
greatly to the cost.

The frost, unless it is very severe, does
not spoil full-grown clusters, and if it
does not show until late in the season,
after plenty of growing weather, there
is little to fear from it. The present
season, however, has been backward in
the fact that there has been little warm
weather anyTvhere on the coast, and as a
result the berries are not so far ad-
vanced as they usually are at this time.
However, up to the present writing the
prospects are good.

Many worthless berries are sent to
Frisco every year. This is not so much
because they are poor when picked but
because no judgment is shown in the
packing. They should be packed dry.
This is imperative, because if there is
the least inclination toward heating the
berries invariably fall off the stems and
this renders them worthless.

Another good point is to have the ber-
ries so packed that they will not touch
the sides of the box. This is the only
way to keep them from bruising. Never
put them in sacks or open crates. Al-
ways pack dry, in closed boxes. Do not
cut them on too long stems, unless for
some special purpose. The tendency to
dry out is too great. If long stems are
wanted, the boxes should be lined with
burlap or paper.

Berries for shipment should not be
picked too ripe or too green, as the color

NURSERY NEWS.

AMBBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBYHEN.

Pres., J. W. Hill, DeB Moines, la.; Vice-pres.,
C. M. Hobbs, firldgreport, Ind.; Sec'y, Oao. C.
Searer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Tales, Roches-
ter. The 83(1 annual convention will he held at
Milwaukee, June, 1908.

Thk court proceedings in the effort to
break the will of the late George Ell-
wanger are occupying a great deal of
space in the Eochester papers.

The Saturday half -holiday is becom-
ing quite general in English nursery
establishments, where it is found to in
no way lessen the amount of the week's
work.

Stanley Walker has bought the
nursery of the Grand Junction Seed
and Nursery Co., Grand Junction, Colo.,
and is building a greenhouse this fall,
with the intention of building more in
the spring.

The Division of Foreign Markets, U.
S. Department of Agriculture, Washing-
ton, D. C, will in a few days issue a
bulletin entitled "Ocean Freight Kates
and the Conditions Affecting Them,"
which will be of interest to importers.

Just as soon as the young wood on
privet is ripe enough, cuttings should be
taken and, immediately after they are
cut, tied up in bundles and then buried
in soil or sand in a cellar or some other
cool place. It will do to bury the cut-
tings in soil outdoors, but it may be
more convenient to haul them somewhere
under cover.

In moving, and planting trees of any
kind, it should be seen to that when the
roots are broken or mutilated, those
so mutilated or broken are cut with a
saw or sharp knife (preferably a knife),
to where they are unharmed. By doing
this, conditions are made right for new
and serviceable roots emitting from those
operated upon. On the other hand, if
the damaged roots were left unattended
to they would most likely decay and han-
dicap the tree in its effort to accommo-
date itself to changed conditions.

VEIR'S CUT-LEAVED MAPLE.

Weir's cut-leaved maple is in many
respects a most desirable tree. When
wanted for use as single specimens it
requires little pruning beyond keeping
to the desired shape, but when they
are planted as street trees they will
require to be kept cut back from the
start. It stands cutting well. The
foliage of this tree is ornamental and
pleasing, while the branches, which are
of a weeping character, are decidedly
graceful. Weir's cut-leaved maple is
nearly as rapid a grower as any of the
maples.

The Norway maple is now, as it has
been for a number of years, in greater
demand than any other deciduous tree.
It, is doubtful if on the whole there
is any tree so well adapted for plant-
ing in so many locations, varying in
climate and other conditions. M.

huge hind wheel wreathed in flames and

The truck was loaded with half a
dozen heavy cases of shrubs, trees and
plants from the W. T. Hood Nurseries.
The cases were consigned to several sta-
tions on the line of the Norfolk & West-
ern. On account of the weight of the
load the negro driver chained the rear
wheels of the truck before descending
the hill, fearing that the heavy bur-
den would gather momentum on the
steep incline and sweep the mules be-
fore it.

The friction of the steel rims against

FOREST POLICY IN FRANCE.

France has under way a far-sighted
forest policy which will require two
centuries before the work reaches its
greatest eflSciency. The plan covers the
reforestation of vast tracts of denuded
land and the work is in the hands of
4,000 trained foresters in the pay of
the republic and a large number of men
employed by the communal govern-
ments.

Consul-General E. P. Skinner tells

FOR inmDIATS SHIPMENT

The right time to buy Roses is when they are fresh and well ripened. Roses potted up in
the fall or winter become better establishecl and force better, and are far more satisfactory
in every way, and you can retard and force at your leisure. We recommend American-grown
Ramblers. Don't attempt to force imported Ramblers; the general experience 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:

Ann* d* Dleabaoh. Bright carmine.

Ball of Snow. Pure white.

Baron de Bonstatten. Dark crimson,
shaded.

Baroness Bothaohild. Satiny pink; extra.

Captain Olirlsty. Delicate flesh-color.

shaded carmine.

John Hopper. Beautiful rose pink.

XitL France. The finest light pink.

Margraret Dlokaon. White, pale flesh

much yet remains to do that Mr. Skin-
ner s.iys in iiis report:

' ' The work is slow. It will require
probably 200 years to bring it up to its
maximum effectiveness. But the time is
foreseen when existing damaged forests
will be reconstituted, and when all the
waste spaces will be replanted to the
point of proper proportion to insure the
conservation of the water supply, and
to furnish the timber and wood re-
quired by the population. The effect
upon private landowners of this public
work has been most salutary. Where
absolutely bald mountains have been re-
planted, very surprising local results are
now visible to all observers. This is
especially true in the Hautes-Alpes,
which had the unenviable reputation of
being the poorest department in France,
and is, in fact, one of the few from
which the United States has received
several thousand French immigrants.
There are now many artificially planted
forests in this department of twenty-
five years' standing, and in the bottom-
land below, conditions have so improved
that a state of general prosperity pre-
vails. ' '

The plan of the French foresters is
comprehensive. It embraces the care of
forest land, planting of trees, fixation
of dunes near the coasts to prevent the
drifting of sand upon agricultural land,
correction of mountain streams, regula-
tion of pasture land, utilization of water
in pastoral and forest regions, and the
surveillance of river fishing and fish cul-
ture. This comprehensive service ex-
tends to every part of the republic.

The area of the national forests of
the United States exceeds twenty-fold
the national and communal forests of
France, but the problems are the same.
France has been longer at the work
and when it began its forests were in a
worse condition than ours are now, but
not worse than our privately owned for-
ests will be if present methods con-
tinue.

Consul-General Skinner concludes his
report with this suggestion to those in
America who have shown sufficient in-

The Market.

Trade conditions are about the same
as last reported. The market trade is
dull, and the only hope is to get rid of
the large quantity of chrysanthemoma
that are still on the market. Some of
the growers realize that the thing to do
next season is to only grow a small quan-
tity of the choice varieties, such as the
trade calls for, as pure white, pink and

SARAH BILL

The largest free-flowering white
carii;i'ion 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-
ENCH4NTRESS

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.
Everyone who grows Lawson or
Enchantress will want to grow
this variety. Early delivery as yet.

certainly been up against it this season,
and many mums are left in the houses
to go to waste.

Roses are coming in heavily and selling
low. Thousands of choice blooms are
seen on Lexington street nearly every
day offered at from 1 cent to n cents
each. Carnations are still arriving
m fair quantities and are moving
nicely. Violets are getting to be plenti-
ful, bringing their usual prices. Deco-
rative house })lants are selling fairly
well, but are a little scarce. Our ex-
change is well stocked with nearly all
kinds of flowers, and in a short time
the retailer can secure his supply.

The Weekly Horists' Review*

November 21, 1907.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

There has been a decided falling off
in the movement of all kinds of stock
in the last week. Mums were coming in
heavily and some good stock sold far
below value. Carnations continue scarce,
but, with plenty of other stock, the short-
age is not noticeable. There is every
indication of a scarcity of both roses
and carnations when the mums are all
cut, as carnations are especially back-
ward with most growers.

Various Notet.

A visit to Lars Anderson 's found every-
thing in a promising condition. His car-
nations, of which there are five houses,
are particularly fine. A house of poin-
settia for Christmas looks very well.
Quantities of Romans, Paper Whites and
stevias are coming along for the holi-
days, and there is no question but that
the high quality of stock from this place
will be maintained.

Smith & Fetters are having an opening
this week and are showing fine stock in
quantity.

W. H. Kramer has two liouses of car-
nations that will be Just in full crop
for the holidays. His Enchantress and
Lavvson are very good. A fine house of
lettuce will be cut at the same time.

The .1. M. Gasser Co. is sending in
quantities of fine roses from its large
range of glass. Tlie Brides and Maids
are second to none.

Visitors: Martin Keukauf, of H.
r>ayersdorfer & Co.; Henry Heepe, of
Akron, O. ; ,1. Vonder Linden, of Rhine-
beck, N. Y. B.

INDIANAPOLIS.

Witii three free shows in progress
at retail florists' establishments at one
time it might be taken that tiiey would
hurt each other, but the experience
last week proved it has the opposite
effect, each show acting as a booster
for the others. Of these exhibitions,
those of Bertermann and Rieman were
private undertakings, but the one at
Wiegand's was assisted b}" the State
Florists' Society.

E. A. Nelson has installed a More-
head steam trap. He says it works like
a charm and that he sleeps more sound-
ly and is putting on flesh ; he docs not
see how he ever managed without it.

The Tomlinson flower market is a
show in itself every Saturday at this
season and trade there holds up re-
markably well, considering all things,
l)ut prices are not now as good as a
year ago. S.

Krik, Pa.— The Baur Floral Co. had
its annual flower siiow last week in the
Majestic building and attracted throngs
of visitors.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

NOVBMBHR 21, 1007.

DETROIT.

The Market.

There is little of special interest to tell
concerning business last week. Of course
some have been rather busy decorating,
but the business in general has been
dull. Many of the florists are complain-
ing of trouble in making collections.

The football game at Ann Arbor creat-
ed a big demand for yellow mums
the latter part of the week, as pale
blue and gold are the colors of the
U. of M. The Michigan Cut Flower
Exchange alone shipped about 500 to
Ann Arbor.

While the good chrysanthemums re-
main well cleaned up in all colors, the
poorer stock is piling up; in fact, there
seems to be a scarcity of good stock
this year. The stock of roses is about
equal to the demand. Some fine Brides
and Maids are arriving from Pontiac
and Mount Clemens. With carnations
it is about the same as with the mums;
the good stuff sells at sight, while the
poor remains for the fakers. Some fine
ferns, this year's galax and fine leu*
cothoe are on the market and meet with
a ready demand.

Various Notes.

Schroeter's beautiful display of or-
chids in the window attracted so much
attention that it was rearranged for an-
other week.

The Breitmeyers had their annual
chrysanthemum show November 14 to 16.
Their intention was to hold the show
this week, but having several large dec-
orations on hand which would take all
their time, the date was changed on short
notice. For this reason the display of
mums was not as elaborate from a
florist 's point of view as in former years,
but still they had a fine display of the
beet stock to be had, and it attracted
much attention. Some very neat engage-
ment books were distributed to the vis-
itors.

G. H. Taepke had his hands full v?ith
funeral work for the funeral of Mrs.
Katherine Waltz. Mrs. Waltz died at
the age of 74 years. She was the widow
of Frederick Waltz, one of Detroit's
first florists, and the mother of Mrs.
Taepke and Mrs. M. Flammer.

Henry Ferguson, aged 12 years, died
suddenly at the home of his father, An-
drew Ferguson, November 12. The fu-
neral took place the following Thurs-
day. Among the floral offerings was a
large piece from the Detroit Florists'
Club.

The large conservatory at Belle Isle
is attracting much attention with a beau-
tiful display of chrysanthemums. There
is hardly an hour in the day but what
some customer remarks about this an-
nual exhibition of flowers, and this goes
to show that the flower lovers take an
interest in such exhibits. H. S.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

I

There was no scarcity of stock 'along
Hoy line last week, and business in a
general way has been fair, but with no
excitement anywhere except at the street
stands. They seem to be after one an-
other. They make a new agreement every
morning to keep all signs of low prices
off their stands, but break it within an
hour. During last week the signs read:
Carnations 25 cents per dozen, roses 25
cents per dozen, and fine, big mums $1
per dozen. This looks strange at the
present wholesale price of stock.

Various Notes.

David Aten, of Toronto, O., who has
been very ill for some time, having had
a large carbuncle on the back of his
neck, is now able to be about again.

A traveling man remarked that H.
Glenn Fleming, of Fairmont, W. Va., is
the only florist he knows who could
ride to work in his own touring car.
Mr. Fleming is an auto enthusiast.

The Lake Newell Floral Co. is about
to open a new store in East Liverpool, O.
, E. M. Hall, Fairmont, W. Va., will
take possession of a larger building, op-
posite his old stand, about December 1.

Thomas Fitzgerald, of Beaver, is put-
ting up another large house.

C. W. Espy, of Brookville, has com-
pleted several new houses this fall.

J. H. Myers has opened a store, with
a conservatory attached, at Tyrone, Pa.

A. A. Whitbred has opened a new store
m Altoona, Pa.

Will and Arthur Hall, of A. W. Smith
& Co., have the sympathy of their many
friends in the loss of- their mother.

B. A. Mick, of Wellsville, O., has
moved down into the business part of the
city. Hoo-Hoo.

We think the Beview is beyond com-
parison with any other. — G. H. Hank-
ELE, Bell Mawr, N. J.

Marion, O,— F. E. Blake & Son held
their fall opening November 8 and 9.
The display of chrysanthemums was one
of the finest ever seen in this city.

GiRAKD, Kan. — Sourdry Bros, last week
received a carload of glass from Cha-
nute for their new extension to the
greenhouse. The carload contained 375
boxes of glass costing $3.70 per box.
The addition will give them 17,000
square feet of room and more than
double the present plant. A new boiler
will be added for heating and every-
thing put in first-class shape for forc-
ing the growth of green things to eat.

INDURATED FIBER.

Indurated fiber, wliich is simply wood
jmlp hardened by chemical process, is
used for a multitude of things, but in
no line has this material been more
successful than in its application to the
making of plant tubs, vases and various
other florists' supplies. As a material
for pots and tubs for growing plants,
it is unexcelled. It has just the quali-
ties required for this service: hardness,
toughness, cleanliness and neatness. It
is, besides, very light, and is of strik-
ingly rich and handsome appearance.
Add to this that indurated fiber tubs
are inexpensive, being cheaper than
wood tubs, even in first cost, and practi-
cally indestructible, and the superiority
of this material over wood and earth-
enware at once becomes apparent.

Indurated fiber makes the most serv-
iceable vases for exhibiting cut flowers
on the counter, and is also made up into
a variety of things useful to the florist,
such as saucers, handy dishes, etc.

Cordley & Hayes, New York, who
originated the application of indurated
fiber to florists' furniture, registered the
trade mark Fibrotta, under which name
indurated fiber ware is catalogued by
many supply houses. The rolling stand
of this ware should be under every large
specimen in every flower store. It con-
sist of two steel crosspieces mounted on
casters and carrying an indurated fiber
saucer. The tqb is placed in this, and
the whole thing can then be rolled around
safely and easily, without injury to floor
or carpets.

ORNAMENTAL PLANTS.

[Conclusion of a paper by W. 11. Tapllii,
beBun in the Review of November 14.]

Among the ferns that are grown into
larger-sized plants for house and store
decoration we find a variety, there being
some of the maidenhairs or adiantums,
a number of nephrolepis, some pterises
and an occasional representative of the
tree ferns, among the most notable and
satisfactory of the latter being Cibo-
tium Schiedei.

Cultute of Ferns.

These ferns are all grown in moder-
ately rich earth, but are given just as
ranch fresh air and light as they will
stand, this resulting in a sturdy growth
of fronds that will endure much more
abuse than those that are grown in close-
ly shaded houses and potted in light soil.

The methods of propagation vary with
the species, some being gotten from divi-
sions of the crowns, others from runners,
and those used in the small sizes for table
ferneries being produced from spores al-
most exclusively.

As a business proposition, the fern de-
partment offers some inducements to the
expert grower, but stock of this charac-
ter must be of first-class quality to en-
sure a prompt and profitable sale.

rhc mam crop of small ferns for fern-
eries 18 sown during the preceding au-
tumn, the time required from the sowing
ot the spores until the seedlings are laree
enough for potting varying between six
and nine months, the practice being to
HOW the spores while fresh, as some spe
e.os lose their vitality by long keeping^

The supply of spores is usually a home
product and requires the exercise of S-

S'n Thf ?'"°^ ^1!^ preservation. Palm

times home-grown, and is also sent from
Cuba and Soutli America, phoenix arc
rather widely spread, and Livistona ro-
tundifolia is grown in Hawaii, though a
native of countries farther south.

Other Oroamental Plants.

Ficus elastica and F. pandurata are
both grown extensively in the florists'
trade, and both are admirably decorative
for the dwelling, besides being most en-
during in foliage.

Dracaenas in several species and varie-
ties are also grown in quantity, the
brightly colored varieties being especial-
ly in favor at Christmas time.

Crotons in many varieties find a ready
sale during the holidays, those with high-
ly colored leaves in which red, orange
and yellow predominate being quite
largely used in window decorations and
plant baskets at that season.

Pandanus Veitchii is still grown ex-
tensively, and is more used than any
other member of its family.

The dracsenas, crotons and pandanus
are all heat-loving plants, and -with a rich
soil and plenty of sun and moisture make
rapid growth and develop rich coloring.

Brightly berried plants are in demand

Insecticides.

Insects, and tlie means with which to
fight them, are problems of interest to
the commercial plant grower, and while
progress has been made in this line, yet
the perfect insecticide is still in the fu-
ture.

Probably the most satisfactory reme-
dies thus far are some of the nicotine
preparations, the results from these hav-
ing been better than from the various
soluble oil preparations. The latter are
more likely to injure tender foliage than
the nicotine is when carefully used, but
the disadvantage of the nicotine prep-
arations is found in their high cost.

Fertilizers.

In the matter of fertilizers the pro-
gressive plant grower is also frequently
experimenting, for soils vary so greatly
that it takes time to find out the needs
of each.

In palm growing, the best commercial
fertilizer is one that contains a good pro-
portion of phosphoric acid, but ma-
nures strong in nitrogen are also used to
some extent, though an excessive use of
the latter produces brittle stems and foli-
age.

Among the other plants briefiy noted
in this paper various manures are used,
beginning with stable manure and run-
ning through bone dust, dried blood,
spent hops, soot, nitrate of soda and
others.

The future of the plant trade in this
country looks encouraging, for the gar-
den is a youthful institution in our land
as yet, and its pleasures and possibilities
are only beginning to be realized, and
while the proportion of profit to invest-
ment is probably less than in cut flower
growing, yet there is abundant room for
all the well-grown plants that are likely
to be offered for some time to come.

THE READERS' CORNER.

To Exterminate White Fly.

Will you allow me a few lines in re-
gard to the white fly? Are plants
salable covered with white flies and their
eggs? I .think not. I recently bought
some Primula obconica which were
badly infested with the white flies.
Now, it seems to me that after so much
has been said in the Review in regard
to them and how to kill them, no man
need have them in his greenhouses.

Let us rid our greenhouses of this
troublesome pest. I have used hydro-
cyanic acid gas for four years and find
it cheaper than other insecticides, for this
reason, that on almost every lot of
plants you get more or less of the white
fly. But it seems that people are afraid
to use it. Now, I will go to any green-
house in the New England states and
show any man how to use hydrocyanic
acid gas for what the trip would actual-
ly cost me.

I have all kinds of plants in my
greenhouses and have yet failed to see
any plant injured by the use of hydro-
cyanic acid gas when properly used.

I would suggest to G. G., the Puget
Sound correspondent whose inquiry ap-
peared on page 13 of the Review of
JVovember 7, that he cover his beds of

lily seed with a good mulch of excel-
sior, keeping it down with long pieces
of Scantling or light poles. This will
keep the soil moist and keep down weeds.

BRONX PARK, NEW YORK.

The immense range of houses at the

inspection by anyone visiting New York.
The houses are finely built, and from an
architectural point of view leave little
to be desired. The collection of plants

pected to find them, and credit for it
is due to A. Miller, the foreman in
charge. The houses are much too large
for their occupants in many cases, and
are in almost every case insufficiently
heated, although 6,000 tons of coal are
consumed annually. The palm and New
Holland houses contained some fine spec-
imens, most of which have been donated
from private estates, although a good
many have been collected. The nomen-
clature leaves much to be desired. On-
cidium ornithorhynchum is labeled epi-
dendi-um, cattleyas are labeled maxil-
laria, and vice versa, while a small and
insignificant botanical orchid was labeled
Odontoglossum Alexandrse. I was in-
formed that the labeling was recently
done by a botanist from the museum.
I wondered while looking at this ridicu-
lous nomenclature what the gentleman

who recently donated his almost entire
collection to the gardens would think
could he but now view them and see
how they are cared for. I interrogated
several of the greenhouse men and found
that the majority of them knew little
about plants. The practical end of the
business would seem to be discouraged
here in many ways. The staff of men
is entirely inadequate, their pay wretch-
edly small and their plant knowledge,
with some exceptions, woefully deficient.
The Bronx Botanic Gardens are intend-
ed to rival if not surpass Kew, but radi-
cally different methods must be ob-
tained if they are ever to hold a candle
to that institution.

An immense additional range of glass
is soon to be built here. Money seems
to be obtainable for every possible addi-
tion needed. It would be better, how-
ever, if more of it were given to the
men who are to grow the plants, and
not subordinate everything to botanical
research. The system of placing plants
in houses from each country should be
changed. Plants growing at an eleva-
tion of 10,000 feet on the mountain
slopes need radically different treatment
from those growing in the hot valleys.
The grounds at Bronx are extensive,
beautifully wooded and very romantic.
It is an ideal spot for a big botanic
garden which should be to America what
Kew is to the British Empire. It is
fervently to be hoped that needed
changes, which are apparent to any
practical plantsman, will not be much
longer ignored. W. N. C.

Greeahonse Heating.

PIPING IN PENNSYLVANIA.

How many 2-incli flows and how many
]-ineh returns will be required to heat
with steam a greenhouse 30x100, four
feet to the gutters and fifteen feet to
the ridge, with the ends all glass and
twenty-four iNclies of glass in the sides?
1 want a temperature of 50 to 60 de-
threes. The outside temperature some-
tiiiMia uocs to 30 degrees below zero.

K. E.H.

To provide radiation for the house
30x100 with 2-inch flows and 1-inch re-
turns, it will require three flows and
twcntv-seven returns, nine to each flow.

L. C. C.

aTY WATER PRESSURE.

I have two houses piped for hot water,
with the downward system. I also have
the city water under the middle bench
of my north house. Could I attach this
to the boiler and get more rapid circu-
lation? The water has a pressure of
.sixty pounds. Would this be safe, with
:in old boiler and second-hand pipe?

G. A. T.

li you install a reducing valve, so as
to place a pressure of not more than
<'ight or ten pounds upon your plant,
the boiler and pipe will probably stand
it, but I doubt if it will be safe to use
the full sixty pounds of pressure. The
increased pressure will not increase the
rate of circulation, but it will allow
you to heat the water in the boiler to
a higher temperature and thus make the
jdant more cflicient. L. C. C.

PIPING IN COLORADO.

We desire to have a night tempera-
ture of 50 degrees in a house 20x85,
with side walls four feet high; no glass
in the side walls; glass in one end. We
shall use hot water. How many 2-inch
pipes will be necessary to keep up this
temperature? The outside temperature
occasionally goes down to 20 degrees
below. How many more pipes would
be required to have a night temperature
of 60 degrees? E. & W.

To carry a temperature of 50 degrees,
a 21/2 -inch riser under the ridge, with
ten 2-inch returns, will be required. For
60 degrees, install a 3-inch riser and
twelve 2-Jnch returns. L. C. C.

HOT WATER FOR SMALL HOUSE.

How shall I pipe for hot water, and

how small a heater could be used, to heat

a small greenhouse 14x21 and 9 feet to

the ridge, in this Maine climate? The

sides are four feet high and have no

glass; there is one glass end. The

; house is exposed on all sides, and 1

1^^,°"!^ !^^® ^° maintain a temperature

H. A. B.

To heat the greenhouse 14x21, in your

dimate, you will require a hot w-ater

1 heater rated to carry about 300 feet of

radiation. The heating surface for the

house can be provided by installing fif-

pipe in each coil vould connect with
the heater and go direct to the far end
of the house and enter a manifold car-
rying seven pipes in one case and six
in the other, these pipes to act as re-
turns and to be gathered into manifolds
at the end of the house nearest the
boiler, to which the manifolds should
be connected by pipes of the same size
as the flow in each case. Connect a
good-sized expansion tank with the main
return close to the point where it enters
the boiler, and give the tank as much
elevation as can be obtained. L. C. C.

WATER PIPE USED FOR STEAM.

A simple experiment made at the Bell
^lawr Greenhouses, at Mount Ephraim,
N. J., by using a water pipe which
runs through the center of the green-
house for a steam pipe on cold nights,
was a success. The length of this pipe
IS 200 feet, the full length of the hot-
house. A valve is first placed on the
water pipe where it enters the green-
house, so as to keep water out when
ready to use the steam. A pipe is then
installed to furnish connection between
the water pipe and the steam pipes.

with also a valve in the center so as to
keep the steam back when used for
water. This end of the pipe is now
completed and ready for steam, but it
must be borne in mind that it must
be a few inches higher than the other
end, so as to drain all water out.

The other end may be adjusted in two
. ways, either by attaching a pet cock,
always to be left open when used for
steam, or by connecting with the return
steam pipes, with a valve to keep steam
out when used for water.

As chairman of the program commit-
tee, John M. Good announced that the
December meeting of the club would
be a social session, and introduced Pro-
bate Judge Frank W. Geiger, who de-
liv6red an excellent address on "Civic
Improvement. ' '

At the conclusion of the paper by
.Tudge Geiger the club and guests ad-
journed to the spacious mailing-rooms
on the upper floor, which had been con-
verted into a well-appointed banquet
hall, with tables tastefully spread, and
an appetizing supper was served by the
ladies at the heads of departments in
the office force of the Good & Reese
Co.

Acting as toastmaster, President Mel-
len briefly outlined the object of the
gathering and introduced W. H, Stack-
house, president of the Commercial
Club, who spoke of the great import-
ance and magnitude of the local plant in-
<lustry and urged cooperation of all
bodies toward the end in view. Paul
Martin mentioned progress already
made in adorning the schoolyards and
the possibilities of accomplishing
much through the school children, and
P. M. Cartmell, ex-postmaster, related
some ancient local history relating to
the selection by the city fathers of
Greenmount cemetery, now in the resi-
dential portion of the city and about
to be abandoned, in preference to the

by Ferncliff.

Current Comment.

The jocently formed firm of Spauld-
iiig k Hodgsou will, in addition to the
runuiug of a retail tiower store in New
York, next spring restock and run the
greenhouses of the late firm of J, M.
Hodgson. Mr. Spaulding is a son-in-
law of the late J. M. Hodgson, and
Charles Hodgson, the junior member of
the new firm, is a son of the founder
of the late firm.

Oscar Schultz was just putting the
finisliing touches on the second of his
two new houses when he Avas appointed
an appraiser of the Hodgson stock.
This appointment gave him an oppor-
tunity to focus his eye on what he
would be able to utilize in the filling
of liis houses. The result was that in
a couple of days after the sale Mr.
Schultz 's houses were packed with palms.

There is quite a brisk demand here
now for large plants of nephrolepis
for shipment to New York for use in
hotels. J. J. Leikens is a heavy buyer
of these for such purposes.

Mr. Beard, of the late firm of Temple
& Beard, nurserymen, is understood to
have secured the contract of reconstruct-
ing and planting the Pembroke Jones
estate on Bellevue avenue. This work
will be a very large and important un-
dertaking, requiring much manual labor
and large quantities of material.

Wadley & Smythe, who have in the
last year or two made great strides in
their progress as landscape gardeners,
have important work in Newport for
attention in the spring. M.

Buffalo, N. Y. — Tony Wean, on West
Delavan avenue, has been rushing the
building of another new house.

Fremont, Neb. — At the flower show
recently held in Masonic hall by the
Fremont Flower Girls' Mission, the
flowers were supplied and arranged by
C. H. Green, proprietor of Green's
Greenhouses. Clirysanthemums formed
the chief part of the display and pro-
duced an artistic effect. The show was
a success, financiallj* as Avell as other-
wise.

ROSE CARDINAL.

Cardinal is one of the varieties in-
troduced by John Cook, and originated
in his greenhouses at Baltimore. It took
first prize at the Chicago flower show
this year, entered in the class for forty
blooms of any variety outside the old
forcing sorts. The entry was made by
Poehlmann Bros. Co., who supplied the
flowers shown in the illustration. The
photograph was made at the store of
the E. Wienhoeber Co., Chicago, on the
day of its recent opening. Mr. "Wien-
hoeber called the attention of every vis-
itor to this flower, because he thinks
the variety an excellent addition to the
list. The fragrance is one of its strong
points. Mr. Cook recommended it as
either a forcing or garden variety. It
is a strong grower, with large crimson
flowers, very full, and therefore pos-
sessed of excellent keeping qualities.
The flowers photographed had been on
display for two days at the time the
picture was made. It is a hybrid tea.
The Poehlmann Bros. Co. has found it
quite free flowering. They began with
only fifty plants, but have now worked
up stock so that three benches are de-
voted to the variety. The luxuriance of
the foliage is one of the most noteworthy
points. •

VENTILATION OF ROSE HOUSE.

Should rose house ventilators be kept
closed on dark or misty days when the
temperature runs as high as 70 degrees to
90 degrees? M.

The proper temperature for roses dur-
ing dark weather is 60 to 65 degrees,
with ventilation on whenever possible, so
that there will be a circulation of air
among the leaves, preventing a close,
damp atmospiiere, which is very detri-
mental to the health of the plants. Such
an atmosphere causes them to become
soft and thin in the texture of the leaves
and makes them very susceptible to fun-
goid troubles.

Roses will not do well in a temperature
above 75 degrees, and when conditions
can be controlled, which is easily done
during the period of firing, the mercury
should not be allowed to rise above that

^a^'^- RIBES.

HYBRID ROSES.

, J'f-^ave not such a quantity of forced
Hybrid perpetual roses on the market
as was the case a generation ago. Still
tuere is always a demand for good
flowers of this popular class of roses in
tne early spring, while nicely bloomed

pots sell well, especially at Easter. To
time the flowering period to a nicety
requires considerable skill, but those who
have mastered the science have invaria-
bly found that it paid them well. It is
yet too early to speak of the forcing of
these roses for Easter, but the present
is an opportune time to pot up a good
batch, the wood on hybrid perpetuals
being now well hardened and ripened.
Pots six and seven inches in diameter will
hold strong, field-grown plants. Keep

protected well with leaves or strawy ma-
nure, to prevent the pots becoming bro-
ken. Lay a few pine or spruce boughs
over the covering to prevent the wind
blowing it away. No pruning will be
needed until the plants are taken indoors.

If cut flowers only are desired, several
plants may be placed in boxes six to
eight inches deep and of any convenient
length and width, and treated otherwise
in the same way as the pots. For the
best results plants grown all summer in
the boxes are to be recommended.

A few reliable hybrid roses for pot
culture are: Frau Karl Druschki, a
magnificent pure white; Ulrich Brunner,
still one of the best; Baroness Roths-
child, General Jacqueminot, Mme.
Gabriel Luizet, Magna Charta, Marchion-
ess of Londonderry and Mrs. John Laing.

the roots from drying out before you
pot them. Use a heavy, turfy loam for
compost if you have it by you. Press
the soil firmly in the pots, water well and
leave outdoors a few days, protecting the
pots with straw if severe cold threatens.
As a rule, no forcing is started before
the new year, and the plants should be
laid on their sides in a coldframe, if at
disposal; failing this, lay them on a
sloping piece of land, close together and

hauled last spring. The soil was a loamy
sod, with a trace of sand in it. The
j)lants have been kept in a temperature
of 58 degrees at night. There has always
been a crack of air on at night and also
one coil of steam pipe on. The plants
look healthy and clean, but are small;
they ought to be twice as large. They
are growiug, but very slowly. The soil
at present seems to be full of roots be-
tween the plants. When I water I cive

them a thorough soaking, but it takes
them a long time to dry out again. They
are in a large, three-quarter-span house,
and have received the best of attention.
They get plenty of sunshine when we
have it. I have been nipping the buds
off because the plants are too small to
bear. Can you tell me the trouble?
Would cow manure water help any?
C.U.

Boses planted during August have lost
the best part of the growing season, and
if it was late in the month and the plants
small they can hardly be expected to do
much before spring.

If the plants are in a healthy condi-
tion they will be benefited by giving them
liquid feeding in a rather weak form,
but it will be a mistake to soak such small
stock at this season, as evaporation is
slow and the plants are not vigorous
enough to use large quantities of water.
A sprinkling of bone meal, applied to the
surface and then stirred in about an inch
deep, will do them a lot of good. This
ought to be rei^eated once a month.

If these roses are on solid benches
they have little chance to produce a crop
before the spring growth commences.

RiBES.

SCOTT'S NEW ROSE,

The new rose, Mrs. Jardine, to which
frequent reference has been made in the
Review and of which a large illustra-
tion appeared on page 9 of the issue of
October 31, is seedling No. 778, raised

this country, where it has been tried in
the greenhouses of Robert Scott & Son,
the American agents of Dickson & Sons,
at Sharon HiU, Pa. Since its arrival in
this country this new hybrid tea rose
has behaved so splendidly under our ad-
verse winter conditions that Mr. Scott
has decided to send it out next spring,
believing it to be a fitting companion
for Liberty and Killarney, the only other
introductions that the Messrs. Dickson
have sent out for forcing purposes. It
produced more and better flowers than
Bridesmaid, on better stems, in Sharon
Hill greenhouses during last season, and
it held its color, a soft pink, during the
dark weather of January and February
when Bridesmaid and Killarney, under
tlie same conditions, paled.

A little party of three met in the
greenhouses of Robert Scott & Son one
recent bright afternoon, to inspect Mrs.
Jardine. They were Alexander B. Scott,
who will grow Mrs. Jardine; William P.
Craig, who will distribute Mrs. Jardine,
and Phil, who will describe Mrs. Jar-
dine. Mr. Scott, who has never sent out
a poor variety on behalf of the Dicksons,
confidentially asserted his willingness
to stake his and their reputation on Mrs.
.Tardine's ability to do well under vary-
ing conditions and he further stated that
he believes this variety will displace
Bridesmaid in popular favor. William
P. Craig has always associated himself
with winners, Nephrolepis Amerpohlii
being a striking example. Phil always
believed that a plant to be described

New Rose Mrs. Jardine.

by Alexander Dickson & Sons, at New-
townards, near Belfast, Ireland, in 1902.
It is a seedling from a seedling with
only the best parentage, being a de-
scendant of Liberty on one side. This
seedling was selected by Alexander B.
Scott on a visit to Newtownards in the
following year and later brought over to

well must have merit or it will not
arouse the writer's enthusiasm. Judge
then.

A small house planted with Mrs. Jar-
dine last August was first visited. The
plants were barely rooted cuttings when
benched and therefore were set close to-
gether. These plants liad by November

1 made a top growth of about six or
eight inches and were breaking freely
from the base; on one plant four strong
bottom shoots were counted. In another
house a ground bed of Mrs. Jardine,
planted in the ei;id of July, was full of
vigor, some of the ground shoots as well
as some of the top shoots being suffi-
ciently good to rank as specials, as
Bridesmaid is said to do in the Phila-
delphia market. One house, 38x166, was
filled entirely with plants of Mrs. Jar-
dine of various ages, some grafted, some
on their own roots. This house was a
splendid sight; the flowers, whether on
the special or on the lower grades, stand
erect on stout stems. Thicre was not a
trace of spot or mildew to be seen. The
color is a soft pink, on large, full flow-
ers of an orange shade, beautiful under
artificial light. It has been much ad-
mired by several of Philadelphia's most
fastidious critics among the retailers.

Propagation had already begun. Quite
a large batch of cuttings, which were in
mice condition, were in the sand, while
another batch had just been potted.
The flowering wood will be propagated
at the rate of about 5,000 or 6,000 cut-
tings a week until New Year's, when
Mr. Scott will decide whether to con-
tinue propagating or to offer some of
the flowers during the winter months in
order to make his new rose better
known. Phil.

AMERICAN DISCERNMENT.

It is curious how American rose grow-
ers have from time to time discovered
special merit in European introductions
before homesters, says a writer in an
English exchange. The famous Ameri-
can Beauty is, I believe, a French vari-
ety named Mme. Ferdinand Jamin, and
for winter work there is no rose that
fetches such enormous prices. Liberty
attracted little or no notice when first
sent out by Dicksons, but the American
glasshouse men proved it to be the best
of its class, and their new Richmond
is, I fancy, a seedling from Liberty.
Dicksons' new Mrs. Jardine also prom-
ises to be an important variety in Amer-
ica, although J have heard little or
nothing of it on this side. The New
York Florists' Club has awarded it a
preliminary certificate. Mrs. Jardine is
a remarkably fragrant rose, it is said.

REPOTTING PHOENIX PALMS.

I have two Phoenix reclinata which
require two strong men to handle them
and they must be repotted. Would it
be safe to remove part of the outer
roots, in order to make the same size
of tubs answer? R. M.

The phoenix may have some of their
roots cut away in order to keep down
the size of the tubs, but after having
such treatment they ought to be kept
warm, moist and well shaded until the
root action is brisk and growth is re-
newed. This operation, however, should
not be performed until next spring, say
about April, for most of the palms are
now going to rest and will not renew
active growth until the sun grows
stronger. W. H. Taplin.

ROTTING OF LILY BUDS.

We notice on a great many of our Har-
risii lilies, which we are forcing for early
December and Christmas use, some of the
buds appear to rot when they are about
three-quarters to one and one-half inches

.^' • Y-.^

NovBiiBEB 28, 1907.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

in length. The plants themselves are
healthy; in fact, it seems to happen on
the plants that look to be in the best con-
dition. We have been forcing Harrisii
lilies for several years and have never
experienced anything like this. They are
being forced in a temperature of 65 to
70 degrees and we would like you to
tell us, to the best of your ability, the
cause of this rotting of the buds.

• T. N. Y.

This trouble is not uncommon and may
be caused in several ways. Removing the

plants when buds are small, and when
plants have been subjected to Strong heat,
to a cold house will often cause a heavy
loss in buds. Heavy feeding with chem-
icals before the flower buds show at all
will also have a tendency to destroy
them. If the bulbs have been properly
ripened before being received, and the
plants have had careful attention in re-
gard to ventilation and watering, much
of the trouble should disappear. The dis-
ease, if disease it is, is serious, but may
be due more to indiscriminate watering
and feeding than anything else. C. W.

CARNATION NOTES -EAST.

Preparations for Propagation.

It is highly important that prepara-
tions for propagation be made before
the weather prevents the work being car-
ried out in all its details. Make sure to
secure a generous quantity of soil for
the express purpose of potting cuttings
as they come from the cutting bench, and
do not make the mistake of thinking
any old soil you may have at hand will
do.

Cuttings when first potted should re-
ceive the simplest diet possible, the ob-
ject being tp encourage a slow, sturdy
growth. The ideal soil for this purpose
is composed of well-rotted sod from
good pasture or grass land, free from
any animal or chemical fertilizer what-
ever. The addition, however, of a small
quantity of air-slaked lime is benefi-
cial.

Storing the SoiL

Choose a location outside where the
pile can be easily reached with the hose
^in case the soil needs wetting. An un-
heated soil shed is a most convenient
place in which to store soil, but if not
fortunate enough to have one, cover with
coarse hay, straw or cornstalks as soon as
the frost penetrates the surface about an
inch, forming a crust thereon. This is
to prevent further freezing. Later add
more covering, finishing with old boards,
tar paper or other material, to exclude
rain or melting snow.

With a supply thus at hand, one can
arrange to bying into the potting shed
the quantity needed for any particular
occasion, and in season to become
warmed to the temperature inside, as
should invariably be done.

The Bench and the Sand.

A fresh lot of sand for use in the
propagating bench should be procured
and screened to remove all objectionable
matter, but do not put it in the bench

^ 11 u *^'"°' ^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ and bench
will be better apart until nearer the
propagating season. Left outside, ex-
posed to frost, the sand offers no en-
couragement to fungous diseases. Thor-
oughly cleaned, coated with whitewash
containing sulphur and allowed to dry

S^'frtln'Ts!' " ^^"'^^ *° °^" '"^ P«^^
Any repairs or changes needed in the

propagating house or bench should be
attended to at once, and perhaps it may
be allowable for me at this time to make
my annual recommendation of 'the brick-
bottomed bench for propagating.

Make note of individual plants which
show vigor, the continuous blooming
trait, habit of growth or other quality
in any degree superior to the general run
of stock, and be particular to take cuttings
from these if at propagating time they
maintain their good behavior.

EGGS IN BUDS.

I am sending you some carnation flow-
ers and buds, rotten in the center, and
on examination you will find a white,
round substance resembling eggs. Can
you tell me what it is, the cause and
remedy? F. R. H.

I have often seen these eggs deposited
inside the calyxes of carnation blooms,
and while I am not certain, yet I have
always thought they must be the eggs of
thrips. If I am right, the same remedies as
for thrips will do to keep the place clear
of these eggs. I would advise sending
some of them to the Department of Agri-
culture, W^ashington, D. C, for identifi-
cation. A. F. J. B.

STEM-ROT AND RUST.

I want to ask what to do for stem-rot.
I am troubled with it in Enchantress and
Joost, and rust on Victory. I know these
subjects have been treated time and again,
but I am using these means in the hope
that some one has perhaps discovered
something I haven't heard of and tried.
I keep them a little on the dry side and
give lots of air. V. L. S.

The old saying that there is nothing
new under the sun is quite appropriate
here. This disease is well known and it
is not a question of finding something to
combat it with, but rather of using
known remedies successfully. Keeping
the water away from the plants and dust-
ing with slaked lime and keeping the at-
mosphere slightly charged with sulphur
fumes will usually be found successful in
both cases. I would suggest that the soil
be not kept too much on the dry side.
The plants are now well established and
need plenty of water to make a strong
growth. You can water the soil liberally

and at the same time keep the plants dry,
and by watering only on bright days the
surface will dry oflf fairly well again by
night. If deemed advisable, you can
scrape enough soil from between each
row of plants to make a trough to water
in to keep the stems of the plants dry.
Keeping the plants growing strongly will
help them to fight off the disease to some
extent. • A. F. J. B.

TO STIFFEN STEMS.

Please advise me if there is any chem-
ical I can use in the place of unleached
wood ashes, to stiffen the flower stems of
carnations, where the ashes are difficult to
obtain, and in what proportion! M.

If you can not get unleached wood
ashes you can secure practically the same
results by the use of air-slaked lime. Use
about a 2 V^ -inch pot of lime to each row
of plants across a 5-foot bench. Stir
into the soil lightly and water in with
clear water. This may be repeated safely
every two weeks.

A cool temperature and abundance of
air will help your stems as much as any-
thing and this is really the most desira-
ble method of obtaining the results you
are seeking. Little else will be needed
on most varieties of carnations, if these
elements are not withheld. A. F. J. B.

STIGMONOSE.

Some of my Boston Market carnation
plants are full of spots, as you will find
on the enclosed leaves. Would you please
tell me what the disease is, with its
cause, and how I can get rid of those
spots f J. A. 8.

Can your expert name the disease, with
the probable cause, from the enclosed
cutting of Fair Maidt The plants showed
the disease last season and a little *more
this season. The treatment was the same
in both seasons. A. H. Y.

The trouble in both of these cases is
the disease called stigmonose, formerly
called bacteriosis. This disease seems to
be the final undoing of more varieties
than any other disease or cause, and that
in spite of the fact that we know to a
certainty how it is introduced into the
plants' system and that it could be pre-
vented. It must be admitted that it is
directly caused through carelessness on
the part of the grower in keeping down
insects. While it is almost impossible to
keep the plants absolutely free from
thrips, red spider and aphis, yet the care-
ful grower will allow so few of these
pests to live that there will not be enough
punctures to injure the plants percept-
ibly. A plant will bear a moderate
amount of these punctures without show-
ing any deterioration, but if they are
too numerous the drain on its vitality is
too severe, and a breakdown of the cell
structures is sure to follow. This is es-
pecially true of new varieties.

A plant which is started from seed is
entirely free from this disease until it is
inoculated through insect punctures. This
may happen any time after germination.
A plant which is raised from a cutting
may have been infected when the cutting
was taken from the old plant. In fact,
it is almost sure to have some of the poi-
son in it, if the old plant showed any
signs of it. The more of these light spots
that show, the more is the disease getting
the upper hand. So, after a plant is
once infected, it is entirely a question of

*»»•,:■'■•.<■

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

November 28, 1907. ^

cutting selection, attention to insects and
careful growing being only natural,
whether there is disease or not. Spray-
ing with fungicides or germicides, or
fumigating, will do no good. If the cut-
tings are taken indiscriminately, regard-
less of the amount of disease they con-
tain, it will become worse each sea^n
until it destroys the whole stock ; whereas,
if the cuttings are selected carefully, and
only such taken as show no spots what-
ever, and this is followed up each season,
the disease can be worked out of the
stock entirely. As I have said before,
the value of a variety must determine
whether it is worth the trouble. New
and improved varieties come along so
rapidly that unless a variety is unusually
good it would pay better to discard it
entirely if badly infected.

It is sometimes stated that the pres-
ence of this disease signifies that a vari-
ety is getting old and less vigorous. I
do not agree with this theory. The only
thing it proves is that there has been

carelessness on the part of the grower in
keeping down insects and in the selection
of cuttings. There is, however, consider-
able difference in varieties. Those which
have a hard surface and firm growth in
general will not succumb so easily as
those of a softer nature. That is why
some varieties never show this disease at
all, while others will show it when you get
them from the originator.

One thing which the presence of these
spots does prove, however, most conclu-
sively is, that unless great care is exer-

APPLYING NITRATE OF SODA.

Will you kindly state what quantity of
nitrate of soda should be put on carna-
tions on a bed 5x7, or how much between
two rows across the bed? H. E. Y.

I would advise you to use nitrate of
soda in liquid form in preference to

sprinkling it on the soil. There is more
chance of getting it distributed evenly,
which is very important in the use of
chemicals. Dissolve one pound in fifty
gallons of water, and water enough to
saturate the soil. Do not have the soil
quite so dry before applying any kind of
food as you would have it when watering
with clear water. You will not apply as
much of the liquid feed as you would of
clear water, but after the application the
soil should be in about the same state
as it would be after a watering. Apply
not oftener than once in two weeks dur-
ing the dark days. Too much nitrate of
soda will make your blooms flabby; in
fact, excessive feeding of any kind will
bring on similar troubles. A better plan
would be to apply the nitrate of soda
once each month and alternate in the
middle of each month with lime, wood-
ashes, bone, dried blood or sheep manure,
A variety of food will bring better re-
sults and less dan'ger of harm.

BEST MUMS FOR NEW ORLEANS.

Would you kindly tell me what are
the best varieties of chrysanthemums
to grow and bloom in New Orleans for
November 1, in white, pink, lavender,
yellow and red? What fertilizer should
be used and when should feeding be
started? I should prefer an answer
from one of experience, who has experi-
mented near this section. X. G.

In answer to your inquiry about the
best varieties of chrysanthemums to
grow and bloom in New Orleans for
November I, I will state that for white
Mrs. Robinson is far ahead of all others.
There is no trouble to have it in time,
and when well grown the flower is per-
fect. Next to it are the two white
Holtz seedlings, which originated down
here. They also are very reliable. The
flowers do not open as white as Robin-
son, but they are a sure crop and can
be depended on better than any other.
The tall kind of these two is extensive-
ly raised without disbudding and has
taken the place of Silver Thimble,
which is also a single chrysanthemum,
very useful for bunches.

The Yellow Cannell and Yellow
Eaton are two good kinds. J. B. Crane
and Childs can be grown for November
1, but few of this color are then sold,
for at that time the white ones are at
least ninety per cent more in demand
than any other color.

As a lavender, none has been found
so far to be perfect. Dr. Enguehard
may be the best, but it is sometimes a
little late. Planting in March and dis-
budding in August, with good atten-
tion, will bring that sort advanced
enough to be disposed of November 1.

When growing, if planted in good

soil at the start, chrysanthemums do
not need much fertilizing except a little
mulching of cow manure once or twice
during the season. It is only after the
bud has been taken that they like to
be fertilized with liquid manure,
nitrate of soda or any of the commercial
fertilizers. As soon as the buds crack
open you must discontinue this. Thrips
and mealy bugs are very injurious. A
constant application of tobacco in any
form, from the very beginning, will
do better than waiting till the plants
are covered with these pests.

Perfect chrysanthemums can be
grown in New Orleans with a good pro-
tection of glazed sashes from the time
the buds are showing color. Cotton is
also used to cover them, but the flow-
ers will never be as well finished as
when protected bj' glass. M. M. L.

PROHTABLE CULTURE.

How should Estelle chrysantheinum \)v
grown to make it most profitable f How-
far apart should it be planted and how
many flowers should be grown to a plant ?

M.

It depends somewhat on the market
that one grows for. With us, who grow
for New York, by getting extra fine
flowers we can realize $4 to $5 a dozen
where the medium and small grades are
being sacrificed for a song. Such high-
grade flowers are grown by planting out
nice stock in May, 6x8, and taking one
flower to a plant. Some markets will pay
25 cents each and no more and a fair
grade can be produced by giving another
inch or so of space and taking two flow-
ers to a plant. Other growers claim they
can make just as much by running as
many shoots as the plant will carry and

selling in bunches. Personally I doubt
it, but as I have not handled the bunch
stock I do not know.

Boiled down, the thing is, as I said at
the beginning, a matter of your market.

C. H. T.

LATE VARIETIES.

Will you please give me a list of chrys-
anthemums that will bloom after Dr.
Enguehard has come in? I want to
know the color and about when they will
bloom. L. G. B.

Enguehard is still in shape to cut, so
that L, G. B. needs late varieties only.
A selection would be: White — J. Nonin
and W. H. Chadwick. Yellow — Nagoya
and Gold Chadwick. Pink — Miriam Han-
key and M. J. Rosette.

These are all good commercial varie-
ties and can be held for Thanksgiving
easily enough, and, if properly grown
for late flowers, can be kept even later.
Some growers get Bonnaffon good yet,
hut with most of us it has passed to the
great beyond, as also Maud Dean, which
was for years the standard late pink.

IVORY.

In spite of the fact that of new chrys-
anthemums of mammoth size the name
is legion, old Ivory year after year
brings in the coin to growers who cater
to the wholesale market demand in the
big cities. Many are the men who have
found little Ivory to bring bigger money
than any other sort. One of these is
G. W. Renard, of Avondale, Pa,, who
consigns to the Philadelphia market,
where the stock is handled by Eugene
Bernheimer. Although Ivory was intro-
duced in 1892, Mr. Renard thinks there

is nothing to beat it, and a glance at
the accompanying illustrations, which
show his house of it photographed early
this month, will confirm his good opin-
ion. Every flower of the 13,000 blooms
was salable and it is the general ex-
perience that blooms of this size and
quality go quicker than any other stock
offered in quantity.

GROWING EXHIBITION FLOWERS.

[A paper by William Duckham, Madison, N.
J., read before the CbryBanthemum Society of
America at New York, November 6.]

If by any fortunate chance you could
learn something from my methods, I
have no doubt that L could learn from
yours. But as you are not speaking at
this moment, and I am, I must venture
to assume the role of adviser and tell
you quite frankly and simply just how I
grow my flowers. I do not assert that
these methods are the best; I simply say
that they have come out of my experi-
ence and they seem to serve me well.

Cultural Methods.

And now we come down to the point
of cultivation, which perhaps is the one
all-important thing in maintaining the
interest in the exhibition of chrysanthe-
mums, for without good cultivation no
good or large flowers would be seen.
Each of us has, no doubt, his own ideas
and ways of doing this, but the follow-
ing is what I have practiced for some
considerable time. 1 do not say it is
the best way, but far from it, perhaps,
for I realize there are a number of you
here who could do all this much better
than is possible for me.

I hardly know where to begin, for it
has all been told so often that I am in
fear of this not being as interesting as
it might be.

Best Time for Propagation.

I have tried early, medium and late
propagating and am frank to say that
generally the medium early propagation
toward the end of February or early
in March, has given me the best results.
It is needless for me to describe in
detail the methods employed; you all
know about them. But I do claim that
as soon as plants are rooted and potted
no neglect can be made up. The plants
require all the attention it is possible
to bostow.

Some of you may say you can pro-
duce the very finest flowers from much
later propagation. This I am free to
admit; so have I produced good flowers
from late struck cuttings. In fact, some
of the best flowers, not only in finish,
color, etc., but the largest, were from
plants propagated in April, but for gen-
eral acceptance I would prefer the first
week of March. I shall omit the gen-
eral cultivation. SuflSce it to say, it is
impossible to give the young plants too
much care and attention in the growing
season.

Limited Space for Roots.

I have grown plants in boxes, in
benches and in pots; all with about the
same result. The best flowers, perhaps,
were grown in the bench divided with
strips between each plant, confining the
roots to a small space, and I found the
stronger the grower the better the
flowers, especially when the roots were
confined to the smallest area. I have
always been opposed to large pots or
spaces, and, after all I have observed, I
am more fully convinced than ever, for
when feeding time comes you have all
live and growing roots where, on the

other hand, if too much space and soil
is given, a lot of roots die and the
plants consequently suffer.

Some Experiments with Buds.

Now, to obtain flowers we must first
have the bud, and to me the bud is
quite as important as to have a strong,
vigorous plant.

In this connection I have had sur-
prising results during the last year or
two and particularly this year — brought
about somewhat, in my mind, by the
Australian varieties. I will refer only
to crown buds, for I don't know of
five varieties where terminal or even
late crowns would win in fast company.
The introduction of so many Australian
varieties perhaps accounts for this, as
my experience with varieties of Aus-
tralian origin has shown that the buds
can be taken much earlier and will de-
velop perfectly, especially if the weather
should be warm. If the weather is
cool, get the house a few degrees warm-
er by fire heat and you will find that
buds which seemed very unlikely to
open will develop perfectly, and what
appears at one time a hard core and
without the slightest semblance of a
flower develops finally into a beautiful
and well finished flower.

Choose Early Bubs.

I have in mind a batch of Nellie
Pockett, which showed buds August 1.
It appeared a little early to take them,
but if allowed to go on, they would, in
my mind, have been a little late. A
part was taken and the result was as
fine samples of Nellie Pockett as I have
ever seen. The other half, that was
allowed to go on, made only medium or
second class flowers, although taken
August 21 to 24. This applies to a num-
ber of varieties, and I say, do not be
timid about taking an early bud, espe-
cially of varieties of Australian origin.
And, as I said before, it is not always
the strongest and most vigorous plant
that produces the best and largest
flowers, but just as important is the
bud taken at the right time.

Variety in Feeding.

I would wish it to be distinctly under-
stood that I am speaking of exhibition
varieties only, but at the same time do
not think I despise the different types,

such as decorative, or commercial, or
the beautiful singles, for all are very
beautiful and all have their usefulness
and are fully as beautiful as the large
Japanese. But, as I was asked to con-
fine my remarks to exhibition varieties,
I have done so.

Feeding chrysanthemums is too well
understood for me to dwell on. You all
have your own way and it varies but
little. I find the chrysanthemum is not
very particular as to what it is fed on,
provided it is not fed on the same diet
too long; a change is always appre-
ciated, and the plant responds and re-
turns, many times over, the best care
and feed one can bestow upon it.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

The Handle Basket.

The handle basket filled with plants,
with twig and bird's nest, designed by
Charles Henry Fox at the Sign of the
Rose, Philadelphia, is effective in its sim-
plicity. The little bird's nest on the
right adds charm.

EMBLEMATIC DESIGNS.

W. L, Leeka, of Fairmount, 111., is a
Mason and as a Mason pronounces the
proportions of the Masonic emblem
shown in the accompanying illustration
as just what they should be. He says
that to a Mason the attempts sometimes
seen at the reproduction of the square
and compass are such as to make the
departed member of the order inclined to
turn over in his coflBn, no matter how
favorably they may impress his sorrow-
ing relatives. This design was made of
asters and tuberoses, with plumosus for
green on the design itself and Sprengeri
for green in the base. Mr. Leeka sug-
gests that the proportions of this design
be borne in mind by all makers of set
pieces, no matter how much they may
seek to elaborate the idea, and the same
faithfulness should be shown in the re-
production of other emblems. At a re-
cent funeral of an old soldier the de-
rision of the veterans attending was ex-
cited by the largest piece in the whole
floral display, a reproduction of the G.
A. R. badge — but the stars were in the
wrong corner of the flag.

SMILAX.

How should smilax be grown? What
sort of a place should be given it and
what temperature does it require? M.

Smilax may be grown in either solid
beds or raised benches, the former giving
most satisfactory results. Sow the seed
in February or March. Pot off when
large enough to handle into small pots.

Shift these into 3-inch or 4-inch pots and
plant out in beds in June or July. Allow
the plants a foot between the rows and
nine inches between the plants. There
should be anywhere from six to ten feet
of headroom. Strings should be run up
for the young, trailing shoots soon after
they are planted, and they must not be

allowed to ramble and become twisted on
other strings than their Qwn.

A temperature of 58 to 60 degrees at
night suits smilax. For soil use three-
fourths good, strong fibrous loam and
one-fourth old cow manure. Syringe the
plants once a day to prevent red spider
securing any foothold. Do not cut the
strings until the smilax is well ripened,
and after cleaning off any part of the
bed, keep the soil quite dry until growth
has started again for a second crop, or
the roots may rot. Smilax may be carried
over for several years, but it pays best
to plant it annually. A very light house
is not needed; one with a span roof is
to be preferred and some of the best
strings I ever saw were grown in quite
shady houses. Give the plants a mulch-
ing of old manure after the first crop is
cut. C. W.

HYDRANGEAS FOR EASTER.

When should hydrangeas be brought in
to be forced for Easter and Decoration
day? C.U.

Hydrangeas Avanted for Easter bloom-
ing should now be under shelter in a cool
house and should be put into a house of
55 degrees by New Year's day. For
Decoration blooming, forcing can be de-
ferred till the middle of February.

method of planting them in water two
or three feet deept C. H. K.

Nymphsea tuberoBa rosea is a beauti-
ful shade of pink, similar to the well-
known Cape Cod pink water lily, but of
a more robust constitution. N. odorata,
the white and sweet-scented pond lily
of North America, is more in evidence
on the markets than any other variety.
All the N. Marliacea forms are fine and
perfectly hardy. Albida is white, with
sepals tinged with pink. Carnea is soft
flesh, rosea, deep rose, and chromatella
deep yellow. Any of the foregoing are
reliable. I think it might be well to
grow more than one color if you are
intending to market them.

Nymphaeas, like all aquatics, like full
sunshine, water and rich soil, which
should consist of strong turfy loam well
mixed with old cow manure. If pre-
pared several months before being used,
all the better. If placed in boxes four
feet square and twelve to fifteen inches
deep, the water will not be dirtied so
much every time anyone wad^s in to
pick the flowers. Press the soil firmly
with the feet and cover with sand two
inches thick. If you do not care to
trouble with the boxes, put a foot of
earth all over the bottom of your pond.
In this they will grow well. Allow each
plant not less than fifty to sixty square
feet of surface.

Planting may be done as early as
April or as late as September. Late
fall planted tubers will start better the
following season than spring planted
stock. A depth of two or two and a half
feet of water is ample. C. W.

lilium:candidum and HARRISn.

I have just completed building an even-
span greenhouse, 16x50, and have it
partly filled with violets and carnations.
The temperature at night runs about 48
or 50 degrees. I have just potted a lot
of narcissi, some Lilium Harrisii and
some candidum. The narcissi I have put
in the cellar of my dwelling. Will I also
have to put the lilies away to root, and
for how long? I would like to have them
in flower as soon as proper conditions
would admit. J. O. B.

The Harrisii can be stood under a
bench in your greenhouse, if there is not
too much drip through it. The plants
may also be stood in a frame, cellar or
frost-proof shed. No frost should be al-
lowed to reach them. Keep somewhat

filled with roots.

Lilium candidum should be kept out-
doors after being potted, until quite
sharp frost arrives, when a coldframe
covering is desirable. Allow the plants
to freeze, for they will force all the bet-
ter for it. Many failures in the culture
of this beautiful white lily are due to
the growers persisting in treating it as
they would Harrisii, which is entirely
wrong. Better not attempt to force any
of the candidums before January 1. Fifty
to 52 degrees at night is warm enough.
The Harrisii, when well rooted and
started to grow, can be grown 10 degrees
warmer. C. W.

Asparagus Sprengeri.

Asparagus Sprengeri, so indispensable
to the everyday florist, is of easy cul-
ture, but, like everything else, it repays
a little extra attention. To supply an
abundance for cutting, bench culture is
to be preferred, although where space is
limited baskets will produce a surprisine
number of sprays. Even narrow benches
along the sides of the paths can be re-
lied upon to give lots of sprays for cut-

ting, more especially if the plants arc
fed well.

Look over the stock in the benches and
remove any sprays which are becoming
yellow or mouldy, as sometimes happens
where the growth is dense. Afford a sur-
facing of well-decayed barnyard manure
to plants needing some stimulant, scratch-
ing over the surface soil before spread-
ing it on. Do not cut the plants too
closely, or you will seriously cripple

them. It is bad policy to cut them down
bare, as we have sometimes seen, with
the idea of giving them a clean start.
It is much better to always leave a few
sprays on each plant.

Antirrhinums.

After the chrysanthemum season has
passed flowers of all kinds sell more read-
ily and those who can grow a good batch
of antirrhinums will always find a market
for them, especially if the most desirable
colors only are grown. Plants set out
in benches early in the fall are now
producing nice spikes, not, of course, of
such quality as may be had toward spring,
but a nice vase makes a pleasing type
as compared with the rather stereotyped
roses and carnations. When chrysanthe-
mums have been cleared from the
benches and antirrhinums planted in
their stead, a night temperature of 48 to
50 degrees is ample. Keep all prema-
ture flower stems pinched back. Stir
the surface soil frequently and encour-
age growth in every possible way. Be
careful not to overwater; rather keep
somewhat on the dry side at this dark
season.

Eub all side shoots from the flower
stems on the early crop if you want
extra strong spikes. It will be neces-
sary to reduce the number of shoots on
each plant. This will be more necessary
on seedlings than on the young stock
raised from cuttings. See that plants
are staked and tied in good season. Bent
and twisted spikes are of no value, A
mixed assortment of colors is also unde-
sirable. Batches of pink, yellow, pure
white and clear red invariably take well.

benched plants, alternating tbis with a
surfacing of a good, safe chemical fer-
tilizer. Dot in a few myosotis plants or
sow a bordering of sweet alyssum along
the benches, if you have a call for either
of these flowers.

Freesias.

You should soon be able to see the
first flower stems on the earliest batch
of freesias, if your plants are being
grown in a light and sunny house. Give
the plants plenty of water. Freesias re-

scattered among the pots once a fort-
night, aphis will be kept in control. Pot
along all plants needing a shift before
they become too matted. Loam, well-
rotted cow manure and leafmold, with
some broken charcoal and sharp sand,
makes a good compost. Use two-thirds
of loam and one-sixth each of the leaf-
mold and manure for a final potting.
Chemical manures are better left alone
now, but can be advantageously used
when the plants are well established in
the pots.

C C PoUworth and His Family Take to the Woods.

quire more moisture at the roots than
almost any other bulbous plants, and
many failures in culture are due to a
too scant supply. Liquid stimulants once
a week will be found helpful. There is
usually a small supply of freesias at
Christmas, at which season they always
bring very remunerative prices. If you
are trying to get in your flowers at that
time, 55 degrees at night, a good supply
of air during the day and a position well
up to the glass are necessary. Keep
later batches cooler. They will do well
in coldframes yet a while, if you have
plenty of covering at hand for severe
weather.

Smilax.

The demand for smilax is now only a
fraction of what it was before Asparagus
Sprengeri and A. plumosus nanus were
known, but the country florist usually
finds call for a few dozens or hundreds
of strings per annum. Th^ first lot of
strings will now be cut, or ready for cut-
ting. Do not make the mistake of pick-
ing out an occasional nice looking string
here and there. Start at one end of the
bed and clear it before you. Then stir
the soil, mulch with cow manure and keep
moderately dry until the new strings ap-
pear. Lose no time in putting up tlie
new strings. This work is easily done be-
fore growth starts, but a few (Jays ' delay
may mean endless bother, owing to the
entanglement of the young shoots. A
night temperature of 55 to 60 degrees
suits smilax, although it may be grown
10 degrees cooler. It pays best, how-
ever, in the warmer house.

Gdceolarias.

Calceolarias, which barely move at all
in the warm months, are now making
excellent growth. They love a cool
house and do not like much sun. A
temperature of 45 degrees at night is
ample, and if fresh tobacco stems are

PACKING AND SHIPPING.

Successful Beginners.

There is one thing that always seems
especially discouraging to the old
grower of violets, namely, the easy suc-
cess that the beginner so often has, in
having first-class flowers for the first
year or so, frequently with a haphazard
care and a lack of close attention to
details that would be ordinarily fatal.
This is* something that I have never
yet met a grower who could explain.
One common reason that everyone falls
back on is "new houses, etc." That
is all well enough as far as it goes;
yet there have been new houses, put up
by old growers, that have not been such
brilliant successes as others. So that
is not always a conclusive argument, and
I leave the fact as it is for some per-
son wiser than myself to explain. How-
ever, if I were a novice in violet cul-
ture I would not rest easy with this
idea, that the flowers could not help
but do well for me, but would give
them the very best care that I was
capable of, looking very carefully after
all the details of culture and properly
marketing.

Special Violet Boxes.

This makes me think of an item that
I saw only a short time ago regarding
sending the blooms out in any old box
that was handy. This is a subject that
has been frequently referred to, and
yet it will bear annual reiteration. Never
under any circumstances send out vio-
lets in anything but a special violet
box, new and fresh and properly lined

you who have competitors in business:
the dealer who always sends out the
most tasteful, most neat and attractive
violet package, even though it costs a
little extra, and always has his violets
up to standard, mark you, will in a very
short time have the bulk of the trade,
and the cream of it, as you will soon
find to your sorrow and chagrin.

A Time Not to Smoke.

Now, one of the things that are abso-
lutely essential to this perfect package
is the absence of all foreign odors.
Never under any circumstances allow
smoking while handling them, or while
picking or filling with water previously
to packing them. This is a matter that
you cannot be too particular about.

And do not think any lot of old vases,
etc., good enough for putting them in to ,
fill with water, but get some pans of
such size and shape as will be conven-
ient for you, and make some covers of
wire netting for them, so that as you
pick and bunch, you can place them in
there, which will keep the leaves and
blooms from the water and yet allow
the stems to be in in good shape and
without crowding in any way.

Another thing that it is well to keep
111 mmd IS the grading and quality. Do
not mix a few small or off-color flowers
in a bunch of otherwise first-class
blooms; they spoil the appearance and
lower the price of a bunch which, but
tor them, Avould be perfect and com-

BEST SINGLE VIOLETS.

I would like to ask you what you con-
sider to be the best single violet to grow,
also what temperature do they require in
cold weather? C. H. H.

The best single violet is undoubtedly
Princess of Wales, of which probably
ten times as many are grown as of #11
other sorts put together. A night tem-
perature of 40 to 45 degrees suits single
violets in winter. It should not exceed
the latter figure, or leaf growth will be
excited at the pxpense of flowers. Single
violets are hardy and should be allowed
to freeze tolerably hard before being
housed. They are better housed after
the middle of October. C. W.

THE HOUSE OF COCOS.

One of the features which interested
the thousand visitors at Riverton, N. J.,
during the S. A. F. convention was the
house of Cocos Weddelliana in 5-inch
pots. There were few among the visitors
who ever had seen so many plants of
this palm, or, indeed, any considerable
number in such large pots. The princi
pal use of the coeos is for the center of
fern dishes and in 2-inch and 3-inch pots
it has a large sale. Last season the
Henry A. Dreer company had a few
plants in larger sizes and found they
sold well. Conceiving the idea that the
larger sizes would prove profitable, they
this season set aside a number of thou-
sands for growing on into 5-inch pots.
The house of these plants as it appeared
at convention time is shown in the ac-
companying illustration. It looks dif-

ferently now, for a large part of the
stock has been taken by appreciative re-
tailers.

AMPELOPSIS JAPONICA POISONING

A British nurseryman writes as fol-
lows in the Horticultural Advertiser:

"While we had known that Ampelop-
sis Japonica (Rhus toxicodendron) was
poisonous, having had severe cases
through handling it, we had not observed
any ill effects from the variety Hoggii
until recently, when, having occasion to
propagate, one of the propagating staff
was told to prepare and put in some
cuttings. He took the precaution to
wash his hands immediately he had fin-
ished, but within two days his lips and
face generally began to swell, which
were the first symptoms; then his hands
and arms swelled and blistered, all the
skin came off his hands, and great boils
came up on his arms; altogether he was
off work for five weeks.

"Like Primula obconica, it does not
affect everybody, but those it does the
slightest touch seems enough. We decid-
ed directly our man took ill to destroy
every plant on the nursery. We hapjjened
to have a few standing on some plunging
ground, and one of our men who is not
harmed by handling it pulled them up
and burned them. A few days after an-
other man who had occasion to work in
the same piece of ground, although he
could only have come in contact with
some of the roots that had gone through
the pots, developed symptoms of poison-
ing, though not so severe as the first
ease. So that it would seem that all
parts of the plant arc dangerous."

Don't Forget: —

advertising copy must reach Chicago by
Wednesday morning, December 11, to
be in time, and earlier will be better.

Some desirable advertisements usually
are received the morning after going to

Sress with a Special lidition. Send to-
ay. Don't get left.

The Timothy Eaton chrysanthemum
this season came hollow-eyed with many
if not most growers. ;

It is stated that uo less than sixteen
firms sent buyers to the Wisconsin lyeo-
podiuin towns this season.

The lighter the demand tlie greater
is the advantage to the grower wifio has
a reputation for high quality.

It is an excellent thing for the trade
as a whole that credits are becoming more
restricted and collections closer looked
after. In the long run, everybody will
gain by it.

Chairman Kasting, of the National
Flower Show Committee, has appointed
S. S. Skidclsky as chairman of the trav-
eling representatives to the national
flower show.

You can turn surpluses into cash by
offering them in the Classified Depart-
ment of the Review. When seasonable
stock is offered, the returns usually are
out of all proportion to the cost of the
advertisement.

In last week's Keview there was an
illustration of W. A. Manda's house of
Dracajna Mandaiana "at Rutherford, N.
.J., ' ' when in reality the house is a dozen
miles away, at South Orange, as was
stated in the note accompanying the il-
lustration. Mr. Manda has no establish-
ment at Rutherford.

It is a mistake to put off the work of
protecting hardy ])lants in pots outdoors
until the weather conditions are actually
present to make such protection an im-
mediate necessity. Far better begin now
and have everything snug and secure be-
fore hard freezing weather comes. Every-
thing outdoors in pots needs -some sort
of covering to prevent the breakage of
pots by frost, if for no other reason.
It is also nuich the same with things to
he left all winter in eoldframes, which
are not intended to be covered to such
nil nxtent as to keep out frost.

The rubber hose has gone up, and still
is going up — in price.

A. C. B. fails to sign his full name and
to give his address, without both of which
it is impossible to answer his inquiries.

The r«e society of Germany has
!2,.500 members. It will give a national
exhibition at Leipzig, June 27 to July 5.

view and see that it is on your regular

In the Boston market the big mums
are decidedly out of favoir and the
smaller ones bringing much the better
return to the growers.

Those who do business in bedding
plants are planning big stocks for next
spring, in the assurance that the demand
will bo greater than ever.

It is surely a deplorable state of affairs
when the cotton growers of the south
and the corn and wheat growers of the
west and northwest have so much ready
money they don 't need to rush their crops
to market! ^

When a grower writes on a piece of
plain paper to order a ton of sheep ma-
nure it is no more than natural that the
dealer should ask for cash with order;
the grower may be good for it, but the
evidence is against his being a good busi-
ness man.

This season a larger number than
usual of the church sociable kind of
flower shows have been held and in most
cases with gratifying success. Where
florists have participated they have done
well, both in advertising and in promot-
ing the popular appreciation of flowers.

Readers of the Review will please
bt>ar in mind that it is the practice to
promptly discontinue all subscriptions
upon expiration if not renewed. If you
want the Review you will not neglect
sending the dollar when you get our no-
tice that it is due ; if you don 't want the
paper the publishers have no desire to
force it on you and then present a bill.

ODDS AND ENDS.

There are other draeronas just as bril-
liant in color as D. Mandaiana, but per-
haps none, with the possible exception
of D. terminalis, of the highly colored
varieties of so tough a texture of foliage.
That characteristic of the new dractena
will, no doubt, cause it to find favor with
commercial men.

The day of the huge specimen chrysan-
themum plant is surely at an end when
the fabulous cash prizes offered by the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society
failed this year to induce a single grower
to put one up for exhibition.

We hear a great deal of criticism of
the arrangement of groups of plants at
exhibitions and we must admit that much
of it is warranted, but there is little
ground for crjticism when the object of a
grouj) at an exhibition is the hiding of
considerable bare wall surface, if that
group in its finished state does not show
artistic arrangement.

Centerpieces of growing plants can be
so made as to be very eft'ective and pleas-
ing, but when they are made in such a
way that two-thirds of the material is
squatty and the other third set abruptly
upon stilts, they are neither pleasing,
(ffcctive nor artistic. B.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

After ten days of depression the mar-
ket began to take on life November 21
and by November 2.3 things had assumed
their accustomed activity. Saturday night
found the market well' cleaned up and,
in fact, late orders, received in rather
greater number tnan usual Saturday aft-
ernoon, were cut in many instances.* This
was particularly true of Beauties and
carnations. The prices on roses had not
advanced, but it liad become possible to
move the receipts, which had been accu-
Miulating all tin; week. Violets, too, felt
the .seasonable demand and the market
was not only cleaned out, but prices ad-
vanced. The wholesalers all wore a cheer-
ful air liome with them Saturdav night
and returned to duty this week with en
fhusiasin.

The Thanksgiving Market.

Miinday i)i»ened with a rush in all the
houses which cater to the sliipping de-
mand. It a|)pears that chrvsanthemums
are approa.-hing an en.l with" all the coun-
try grow.Ms who look to Chicago for sup-
jdies when their owu houses are eni]>ty.
and this brought renewed (leniand. too'
tor roN.-s and carnations. Mondav regu-

Mentlon ITie Review when yon write.

larly is a busy shipping day in this mar-
ket, but November 25 was better than
usual. Prices on Beauties even exceeded
quoted rates and special fancy carna-
tions in a few cases went to 6 cents, for
it was not possible to fill all orders. In
fact, the big orders were savagely cut
and buyers who had wired for thousand
lots were forced to be content with 300
to 500.

Tuesday brought the bulk of the
Thanksgiving shipping orders. Writing
before the completion of the day's work,
it is impossible to form a very accurate
idea of the volume of business, except
that it was large and orders for Beauties
and carnations were not all filled. The
receipts of carnations were heavy, but the
<lemand also was great and }»rices in
some instances above quoted rates. The
receipts of roses were not as great as a
week ago, when the big cut of Bride and
Maid was at its height. C'hrysanthennims
are i)retty well cut out with many grow-
ers, but there are on the market thou-
sands of medium to poor quality, the fag
end of the cro]). Fancv stock was not
overabundant. The bulk of the violets
Hell locally and it cannot now be told
how they fared, there not having been
many advance orders and receipts being
heavy. The market is well supplied with

lilies, valley, stevia, Romans, Paper
Whites and other seasonable items.

Green goods are in large supply and
equal to all requirements.

Variotjs Notes.

There has been much complaint from
the Khinebeck shippers as to the prices
realized for violets in the week of No-
vember 10 to 16, and no greatly better
checks were sent for the week following,
but it is hoped this week will make a
nuich better showing. While prices have
not been as high as last year at this sea-
son, it is felt by the wholesalers that the
returns from this market at least com-
pare favorably with what is had from
New York.

.1. ('. Bruchner. on Sixty-ninth street,
jiut in a stock of goldfish bought of the
E. F. Winterson Co. and says he is more
tlian pleased with the business it has
brought him. He and ^frs. Bruchner run
the store without hired help and their
expenses are light, so that Mr. Bruchner
says the profits on sjiles of goldfish paid
the running expenses last week.

Thomas McAllister has left the posi-
ti«m of gardener for Mrs. Ely. at When-
ton, held during the sumnu'r. and is look-
ing for a i)lace to start growing outdoor
cut flowers for the market.

Mention The Review when yon .write.

Scheiden & Schoos were fortunate in
having a crop of Timothy Eaton just
right this week and E. Fransen says they
are pleased with the week's business.

Nellie C. Moore is again at her stand
in the Growers' market after a month's
illness.

The E. F. Winterson Co. received 2,000
Bonnaff on from one grower November 26.

George Reinberg is cutting some splen-
did Killarney, and the general crop is
larger than at any time in the last month.

John Kruchten says his supply of
chrysanthemums will hold on for some
weeks yet.

Ed Benthey says he is no longer with
the Benthey-Coatsworth Co.

A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry,
returned Sunday morning after a week's
visit in Louisiana, following his service
as judge at the Little Rock flower show.
He says the hospitality of the Little Rock
florists was unbounded during flower
show week.

J. A. Sikutii made a wreath for $150
for the funeral of the mother of Captain
Schuettler, the assistant chief of police.

As one of the small items which go
to make up the supplies of a big grower,
it may be mentioned that Bassett &
Washburn this week received a carload of
hardwood ashes from Canada.

L. Lommel, who has worked for leading
florists all over the country, is now with
8eitz & Nordell, at 902 Evanston avenue.
The firm has' a neat new place and is
lining a nice business.

A. L. Randall says they are more than
pleased with tlio improvement in the tel-
ephone service since they put in a switch-
board with an operator constantly on

duty. They have three lines and seven
stations.

The Kroeschell Bros. Co. is stijj send-
ing out its carnation measure to all ap-
plicants, and the number increases each
year at this season. F. Lautenschlager
is now calling on the trade at Cincinnati.

Peter Reinberg is cutting a big crop
of Uncle John of fine quality. Mrs.
Field also is still giving a big cut.

C. H. Fisk, who operates the Halle
stand on West Madison street, is gradu-
ally directing the trade around the cor-
ner to his old store and says he will
eventually rent the Halle store for an-
other line of business, retaining the
greenhouse for his own use.

The carnation growers are becoming
expert at mending calyxes with the Baur
clip. Enchantress and Lawson are be-
ginning to split badly, so they have
plenty of practice.

Wietor Bros, have kept a record ever
since they started in business, showing
the amount of space devoted to each va-
riety and the receipts from chrysanthe-
mums, carnations and each variety of
rose, so that they know exactly what it
has paid them to grow, and what they
have been justified in dropping.

Albert Amling is not only president of
the Albert Amling Co., at Maywood, but
is vice-presid'ont of the Maywood State
Bank and of the Melrose Park State
Bank, with combined resources of $675,-
000. He never misses a directors' meet-
ing, but just now he is especially anxious
to liquidate ;i crop of smilax, which is
ready to relieve any possible money
stringency. E. C. Amling handles all the
stock from the ^favwood district.

G. C. Crego and wife are making a
short trip to the Pacific coast.

Percy Jones says he thinks the mar-
ket's experience in the first half of No-
vember was little different than usual,
although chrysanthemums may have av-
eraged less than last year.

W. E. Lynch, at Hunt 's, says he never
will have a complaint to make if the mar-
ket will continue as good as it has been
since November 22, In the supply de-
partment they have been busy right along.

E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
says they are saving a great deal of
work this week by having George Bayer,
at Toledo, ship many of their chrysanthe-
mum orders direct. Mr. Bayer 's Bonnaf -
fons always are in demand.

John Poehlmann is one of those cau-
tious gentlemen who never commit them-
selves to an unqualified statement of fact,
but he admits that if the week continues
as well as it started it will be a good one.

J. A. Budlong is cutting White Perfec-
tion and Enchantress, which readily
brought 6 cents Monday.

John Zech, of Zech & Mann, says the
market for roses is not yet as strong as
he would like to see, but other lines are
moving satisfactorily.

Weiland & Risch are figuring on an-
other big crop of Killarney for Christmas.

The J. B. Deamud Co. is receiving
some especially fine stevia.

If Frank Beu can get a clear title to
a piece of property ho has bought adjoin-
ing his place, he will in the spring put
up a house 50x200, which will be de-
voted entirely to Kaiserin, which made
him excellent money last season.

The Market.

The trade here has passed another dull
week in the cut flower business, and
about the only work done was for funer-
als. There is not much going on in the
social world worthy of mention. In the
downtown district the florists are display-
ing signs for stock at cheap prices.

Cut stock of all kinds in the commis-

sion houses was so plentiful last week,
and the demand so slow, that plenty of
stock was dumped or sold in thousand
lots very cheap. This is not encouraging
for this, Thanksgivingj^week, and should
the glut continue, prices will hardly go
up on anything, unless it be on violets.
In these, $1 per hundred will be de-
manded for . the best Calif ornias. No
doubles are in this market at present.

Chrysanthemums are still plentiful, but
the prices are not so high; still they have
a depressing effect on roses and carna-
tions. Eaton and Wedding are the best
that come in. Eoses are of good quality,
but so many come in that seconds hardly
bring over $5 per thousand. In these
they are mostly Bride, Maid, and
short Richmond and ^llarney. Carna-
tions are also of good quality, but did
not clean out last week. Enchantress,
White Perfection, Craig and Lawson are
in demand. Others drag, Violets are
extremely scarce. There is plenty of
good valley to be had. Paper Whites
sell well. Bomans are still among the
missing.

Smilax, asparagus and adiantum have
daily calls, but not in large lots.

Various Notes.

E. W. Guy, of Belleville, 111., was in
the city the early part of last week, buy-
ing supplies. He reports his business as
such that he could not find time to visit
the recent flower show.

The western half of Forest park, which
since the world's fair has been under-
going restoration at the hands of the
Louisiana Exposition Co., has been turned
over to the city as completed. Walter B.
Stevens, of the Exposition Co., reports
that the company spent $500,000 in res-
toration, George Kessler, the landscape
architect, had charge of the work. All it
needs now is the approval of Park Com-
missioner Phil Scanlan.

Otto Triebwasser, formerly in business
at 1542 North Twenty-seventh street,
Philadelphia, is in the city. Mr. Trieb-
wasser was lately with Miss Schnell in
East St. Louis, 111., but will leave next
week for the west, stopping at Kansas
City.

The St. Louis Seed Co. has purchased
a tract of land in the county and contem-
plates building a range of houses next
summer, to grow plants, mostly vegeta-

bles, for the mail trade. After the first
of the year a lot of hotbeds will be
started goinfj on the place. In this line
the firm is doing a large business each
spring.

The Burton-Allison Co., manufacturers
of flower colorings, of this city, have
placed on the market here a lot of colors
for flowers. Their yellow, St. Patrick
green and American Beauty are fiue, all
having been tried by the trade here
through sample. C;harles E. Schoenle, of
the Schoenle Floral Co., is one of the
company. All of our wholesalers are car-
rying stock in all colors.

Adolph Brix reports that since his free
flower show in the north end. his trade
has increased greatly in all lines. His
foreman, Mr. Vogel, at the greenhouses
is sending to the store a fine lot of cut
chrysanthemums and carnations. His
show windows are always attractive.

H. W. Buckbee, of Rockford, HI., is
sending to this market a fine lot of chrys-
anthemums. They are handled by G. H.
Angermueller.

Among the daily shipments sent in by
Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, we find
as fine a lot of Uncle John roses as could
be seen anywhere. His Chatenay, Ivory
and Bichmond are not far behind. He
also se6t in fine blooms of Appletou,
Golden Wedding and Bonnaffon. Mr.
Ammann and his foreman, Henry Blixen,
were seen at the recent flower show look-
ing over the new roses on exhibition.
They thought well of Cardinal, Marshall
Field and Rhea Reid.

Robert F. Tesson and bride are enjoy-
ing their honeymoon at Jacksonville, Fla.
They will return after Thanksgiving and
settle in their new home at Sunny Point.

West Forest Park, where Mr. Tesson is
engaged in the dairy business.

The Riessen Floral Co., John Burke
and the Foster Floral Co., who are in
the center of the theater district, are
daily making great window displays to
catch the eyes of the transient trade.
They report that white, pink and yellow
chrysanthemum blooms of the fancy
grades are most in demand. Roses and
violets are not selling so well.

The executive committee of the St.
Louis Horticultural Society held a meet-
ing last week at the Missouri Athletic
Club. Harry Young, chairman of the
committee, called the meeting. All bills
were ordered paid. The show was a social
success, but not so financially. All the
members of the committee were present.

The seventeenth annual banquet of the
trustees of the Missouri Botanical Gar-
den and their friends will be held at the
Southern hotel Saturday evening, No-
vember 30. This banquet is provided for
in the will of Henry Shaw, bequeathing
.$1,000 annually for the purpose. The
guests are literary and scientific men,
friends and patrons of the natural sci-
ences. The officers are Rufus J. Lack-
land, president; H. D. Cunningham, sec-

DETROIT.

The Market.

The general depression in all
branches of business has had its
olTects on the florists' trade, until
all the florists are complaining more
or less. Of course it affects the re-

tailers dJfiferently; those who get thife
swelldom 's business probably do not
notice the dullness so much. There does
not seem to be the usual number of
funerals and this has caused a falling
off in this work. Still, stock remains
well cleaned up at the wholesale
houses; at least the better grade of
stock does.

In chrysanthemums about the only
variety that does meet with ready sale
is Dr. Enguehard. The mums are
bringing good prices, the medium size
selling at from 121^ cents to 18 cents
and 20 cents. Roses are none too plen-
tiful at the present time. Many recep-
tions have kept these well cleaned up
at good prices. Good carnations sell
readily at from 2 cents to 3 cents in
the different colors.

Considerable valley, stevia, etc., is
disposed of daily. The different
greens are at present of good quality.
Some very fine bronze galax leaves are
on this market.

The above prices are, of course, not
Thanksgiving prices, which were much
higher. Violets jumped from 75 cents
up to $1.50 per hundred. The latter
are a scarce article on this market and
the chances are they will be for some
time to come.

Qub Meeting.

Tlie most succes'sful show and enter-
tainment that the Detroit Florists' Club
has ever had was held Tuesday evening,
November 19, at Harmonie hall. The
attendance was a little less than on
some previous occasions, but the absent
ones were the losers, as all present had
a grand time. The young people, a>i

well as many of the old, danced to their
hearts' content, while the genuine
cranks spent the evening discussing the
good and bad qualities of the carna-
tions, roses, mums, etc.

The whole affair was in charge of the
exhibition committee, which consisted
of T. Browne, A. Pochelon and Robert
Unger; and the entertainment commit-
tee, composed of Walter Taepke and
William Hielscher. These committees,
with several other volunteers, worked
hard to make the affair the success it
was, and deserve much credit.

The dancing program was inter-
spersed with sonic selections on the vio-
lin by Miss Ella Schroeder, one of our
local violin virtuosos.

As an inducement to the exhibitors
the club appropriated a small sum to
be used as premiums. This was divided
into some fifteen prizes. The judging
was done by Messrs. Breitmeyer, Sulli-
van and Holznagle. There were no sec-
ond prizes given, but in some cases two

prizes were awarded. The exhibitors
and winners were as follows:

In chrysanthemums, Thomas Brown*',
of Greenfield, showed nine varieties, in-
cluding Dr. Enguehard and T. Eaton,
both of which won prizes. Albert Sta-
helin, of Bedford, showed three va-
rieties and won a prize for white witli
Adelia. The Breitmeyers showed six
varieties. Frank Holznagle cxliibited
Helen Frick, which won a prize as tiie
best pink. J. F. Sullivan showed six
varieties, including Golden Chadwick
and Nagoya, both of which won prizes
as best yellows. August Von Boese-
lager exhibited a fine vase of assorted
mums, not for competition.

In carnations, Thomas Browne won a
prize with Winsor as the best medium
pink, and with White Enchantress as
the best white. He also exhibited
Beacon and Lawson. Robert Klaggo, of
Mount Clemens, was awarded a prize
for Beacon as best red; for Enchantress
as best light pink, and for a sport of

Enchantress as best dark pink. He also
exhibited White Perfection. Fred
Miesel showed four varieties. J. E.
Smith, of Wyandotte, showed two fine
vases of carnations, not for competi-
tion. A. Von Boeselager showed a fine
vase of Moonlight.

In roses, Robert Khiggc, of Mount
Clemens, exhibited a vase of La De-
troit and a vase of Kaiserin, for both
of which he received prizes.

In miscellaneous exhibits Fred Miesel
showed a fine lot of cyclamen, for
which he received a prize; also a vase
of snapdragon, for which he received a
prize. Robert Klaggo showed a fine
lot of violets and received a special
prize donated by Walter Taepke. J.
Breitmeyer 's Sons received a prize, do-
nated by A. Pochelon, for a group of
plants. B. Schroeter also was on hand
with a fine collection of plants. J. F.
Sullivan showed some lilies and Ro-
mans.

terpieces for dinner-tables. A. Poche-
lon, of the Bemb Floral Co., received a
special prize, donated by Eobert Unger,
for an arrangement of pompons, Arline,
and different grasses. Walter Taepke
exhibited a prettily arranged piece of
yalley and Sunrise roses. W. B. Brown
had a nicely made basket of La De-,
troit and cosmos. J. F. Sullivan showed
a low mound of Arline, decorated with
green chiffon ribbon. B. Schroeter was
there with a centerpiece of orchids and
valley, arranged in a low basket of
wicker-work.

Considerable interest was taken in
our show by out of town growers and
their efforts were much appreciated. The
Eobert Craig Co., Philadelphia, sent on
four vases of pompons, which attracted
much attention. They were Klondike,
Garza, Kitty Bourne and Lulu. The
E. G. Hill Co., of Richmond, Ind., sent
an assortment of twelve mums, includ-
ing some fine blooms; also a fine vase
of Bhea Reid rose, and a vase of the
pink rose. Princess. Robert Scott &
Son, of Philadelphia, sent a vase of
Mrs. Jardine, which was well spoken
of. The Chicago Carnation Co. sent a
large vase of Aristocrat, which showed
up well. They seem to be exceptionally
good keepers. Stevenson Bros., of Go-
vanstown, Md., sent a fine lot of Splen-
dor carnation, which showed up finely.
It has a growth similar to Dorothy,
with a long stem and a fair-sized flower,
and is of a pleasing deep pink color.

It is surprising that not more of the
florists turn out on an occasion of this
sort. The writer could name at least a
dozen who should have been there. The
evening's affairs were wound up with a
lunch.

Varioas Notes.

Pickling of stock was again notice-
able before Thanksgiving, bringing up
the price of stock when -there was no
reason for it, thus driving away many
prospective buyers. , ^ .

The Breitmeyers had the decorations
in Strassburg's hall for an elaborate
ball November 22. The color scheme
was white, yellow and green. The
white was a background of lattice work
and a nicely executed pergola at one

ress were the three favorites at the
club's show last week. Judging from
the comments you cannot make a mis-
take on any of them.

George Eackham is still far from

Current G>mment.

A week of dismal, rainy weather had a
depressing effect on business. The only
activity was among the decorators; there
were quite a few notable weddings. Mums
are a glut, with plenty of good stock of
all kinds. Our new commission house re-
ports business beyond all expectations for
the short time it has been open.

A visit to the plant of Gude Bros,
found the fern houses in fine shape. These
houses looked as if cleaned out by fire
six weeks ago. The Department of Agri-
culture sent several experts to see the de-
stroyer of i;he ferns. The only remedy
they coula suggest wa^ to pick off the
rainbow-colored worms that nothing
seemed to kill. Mr. Bartus, in charge of
the houses, says some mornings he would
pick half a peck of them. He is now
using a formula of his own, which has
proved very effective.

Grant wedding this week.

J. H. Small, Sr., who has been seri-

his own.

The flower show has enthused all the
florists and the guaranteed fund is grow-
ing for the show of 1908.

The Washington club will be well rep-
resented at the Baltimore show next
week.

Mr. Peterson, Jr., of Cincinnati, and
Mr. Dikis, of the Jansen Co., New York,
called this week. O. A. C. O.

NEW YORK.

The Market

Indian summer said farewell Novem-
ber 23. It was a week of almost sum-
mer temperature. A heavy rain of
nearly twenty-four hours' duration
ushered in Thanksgiving week and the
cold snap, so long anticipated, is here.

The receipts last week were enor-
mous and better quality never graced
the boards of the wholesalers. Every-
thing received was good and yet, with
operas and horse show in full swing,
the increased demand was hardly de-
tectable and there was never a scarcity.
At the horse show many violets, orchids
and gardenias were worn. We look for
a fairly satisfactory Thanksgiving.
Stock will be plentiful and superb in
quality, and prices will be reasonable.

'Last week the chrysanthemum sup-
plies did not diminish and prices did
not increase. The $4 a dozen ones of

1906 were the $2 a dozen stock of 1907,
but thousands were sold as low as $2 a
hundred. There should be a decided
change for the better for Enguehard,
Gold Mine, Chadwick and Golden Wed-
ding. No better stock of these ever
came to the New York market and this
market, F. H. Traendly says, with the
possible exception of roses, is head and
shoulders above the west. Certainly no
other center can compare with us in
the size, perfection and variety of the
chrysanthemum. Violets were low.

Beauties are advancing in price slow-
ly but surely. On Saturday $25 a hun-
dred was easily obtained. Some
claimed a higher rate for the selects.
There were too many Bride and Maid
for independence in values. Few
touched $5 a hundred. Quantities were
sacrificed early in the week.

Carnations remain below their real
value. Finer stock cannot be grown.
A year ago they were worth twice their
present quotations. The grower grows
impatient and wonders. Dozens of them
have been here to see conditions for
themselves. These observe and under-
stand. Conditions are abnormal.

The supply men seem to be very busy.
Millions of ferns are being housed. Ga-
lax, the bronze variety, so long scarce,
is now arriving. Wild smilax in
abundance may be found at all the sup-
ply centers and the basket and Christ-
mas bell disseminators are already
rushed. There will be some holly for
Thanksgiving and the supply of bloom-

ing plants would indicate an expected
demand for home decoration.

The advance orders for plants for
Christmas are now being booked daily.
The demand is universal for medium-
priced stock and the day of options 'at
$50 and $100 is past. The outlook seems
to be encouraging for an enormous call
for the plant combinations at $5 and
$10, and growers, as well as retailers,
are governing themselves accordingly.

Various Notes.

December 9 the New York Florists'
Club will hold its final meeting of the
year, and election. President Totty will
retire with a splendid record. His pet

E. Wadamon, of South Orange, N. J.,
is making a fine exhibit of Japanese
dwarf trees at 273 Fifth avenue, for
which a good demand has developed.
Some of his specimens are 100 years
old.

Siebrecht & Son move into their new
store, at 427 Fifth avenue, December 1.
This large and convenient store is next
door to the corner establishment opened
two years ago in the Siebrecht build-

This firm grows about everything re-
quired in its retail work at the green-
houses and nursery in New Eoehelle.
On Wednesday, November 20, Charles
See, bookkeeper for this house for the
last twenty years, was married to a
New Bochelle lady and is spending his
honeymoon in Washington. Mr. See
has just completed a handsone home on
hia property, the old Tom Paine farm,
where the couple will reside. The wed-
ding was a great surprise to his many
friends, as he has long been conside-red
immune.

A fire above the store of the Geller
Co. last week did considerable damage
by water to the stock in the cellar and
store. This is the second experience
Mr. Geller has had with fire since he
opened his supply house. The damage
is covered by insurance.

The imported Irish yews, Koster blue
spruce, and Nordmanniana find a ready
sale at Cleary's, where both at auction
and private sale good attendance and
brisk demand is encouraging the new
firm beyond expectations.

B. Rosens, 48 West Twenty-ninth

Mcintosh, on Broadway, celebrated

The most unique advertising seen in
New York of late is that of the Dayton
Cash Register Co. In its window is a
representation of a florist's store with
ice-box, natural flowers, boxes and all
else the florist uses. The purchaser and
salesman are expert actors and carry
out the simulation of purchase, pay-

Business last week was in no way over-

money market is somewhat responsible.
However, not any of our banks have
closed their doors. Money is scarce and
it seems that the public is slow in spend-
ing it for flowers.

There is an abundance of good quality
of flowers on the market and the demand
is not enough to clean them all up. Fu-

neral work calls for the greater part and
cses a great deal of the small blooms.

The mum season is at its height and
the market is well stocked. The outdoor
stock is still heavy, owing to the favor-
able weather we have had. At present
we are having a heavy rain; flurries of
snow are falling with the rain and the
wind is blowing a gale. From indications
the weather is surely making a change
to winter time and the inside blooms will
be depended on. Eoses are still plentiful
and, as usual, selling at a low figure.
■Carnations are coming in good shape, but
many are holding them back until Christ-
mas, for better prices. Paper White nar-
cissi are on the market, but sell slowly.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

A week of cloudy weather, with Sun-
day's added touch of winter, has re-
duced the quantity of cut flowers com-
ing into this market. Possibly the near
approach of Thanksgiving has also
caused some holding back of stock in
the hopes of increased demand and bet-
ter prices. At the opening of this week,
November 25, the demand is but
slightly increased. Few advance orders
for Thanksgiving have been placed.
Carnations are in lighter supply and
prices are firmer. The oversupply of
poor chrysanthemums is a thing of the
past. The quality ' of the chrysanthe-
mums now coming in is exceptionally
fine. White cattleyas are in fair sup-
ply and cypripediums are becoming
plentiful. Roses still are overabundant,
but fancy stock sells well. Romans and
Paper Whites have made their appear-
ance. Violets are not so plentiful and
are in fair demand. Bronze galax leaves
are now in.

The shipping demand shows some im-
provement compared with preceding
weeks.

Israel W. Durham is to the city of Phila-
delphia; so now you will see why Mr.
Seattle was staiK^ng at the front door
to welcome Mr. Wertsner and his three
companions.

He showed with justifiable pride 24,-
000 carnations that would have done
credit to anyone. In fact, they average
better than any carnation plants grown
at Strafford in previous seasons. The
stock that is particularly fine has been
grown indoors all summer, the first house
showing some varieties that would be
hard to beat with outdoor-grown plants
two months later. While the field-grown
stock was in good shape, it had not yet
rounded into condition, the blooms being
smaller and the stems shorter than on
those grown in pots. The varieties have
undergone considerable change since they
were last noted two years ago. Harry
Penn, crimson, has been discarded, and
also May Naylor, the then best white,
both having proved unequal to market re-
quirements. A white seedling of Edward
C. Marshall's is on trial, but has not yet
come up to Chester county form. The
standard varieties today are: White,
Lieut. Peary, My Maryland, Lady Boun-
tiful, Queen and Queen Louise ; soft pink,
Enchantress; bright pink, Winsor and
Genevieve Lord; rose pink, Helen God-
dard; scarlet, Beacon and Gov. Bliss.

The chrysanthemum house was filled
with a fine lot of Chadwick and Bon-
naff on; some pompons are also grown.
The flowers of this place are ranked
as among the very best by the S. S.
Pennock-Meehan Co.

The whole place is a model of neatness
and cleanliness, showing the progressive
ideas of Edward A. Stroud and the faith-
ful ability of his grower, Thomas Beat-
tie.

Carnations at Forty-ninth and Market Streets

Kobert A. Craig led the way into the
carnation range, the home two months
ago of the Philadelphia lace fern, Ne-
phrolepis Amerpohlii, now so widely
distributed over the country. The car-
nations are fully established, just be-
ginning the season's work. A glance
over the varieties may be of interest.
Three seedlings have been benched in
quantity: a pink and a crimson that
did well last season, both from the Cot-
tage Gardens, and a white, the Craig
Co. 's own seedling, a beautiful flower,
large and fragrant, with strong stems.
The standard varieties grown are Eob-
ert Craig, Enchantress, Rose-pink En-
chantress, Fisher and White Perfection.
The former is well liked as a produc-
tive white for every day.

• A Christmas Novelty.

M. Rice & Co. have .a pretty idea
this season, carried out in baskets, fern-
eries and pot-covers. It is a combina-
tion of red palm and natural willow,
the brilliant hue of the former being
softened by the green willow drawn
through it. The effect is a pleasing
Christmas red, free from the glare that
so easily becomes too pronounced. Mr.
Eschner says these have touched a
popular chord.

Various Notes.
"The Retailer's Position Toward the

Wholesaler" will be the subject for the
Florists' Club's meeting next Tuesday
evening. It will be treated by Charles
H. Grakelow.

Every man feels especially kindly
toward the satisfied customer, one who
appreciates his efforts to please. The fol-
lowing extract from a letter received by
William J. Baker is gratifying: "The
work for which I bought flowers on.
Saturday, November 9, turned out beauti-
fully. I had a few of the roses left,,
which I used this last Saturday, Novem-
ber 16, and they were still fine."

John De Buck, an orchid collector, wa»
in this city recently. Mr. De Buck states-
that the increased demand for orchids
from South America is rapidly depleting
the stock of plants within easy reach
of the coast, and it is now necessary to
go much farther into the interior than
in the past, thus increasing the expense
of gathering the plants.

At the annual meeting of the Penn-
sylvania Horticultural Society the follow-
ing officers were elected to serve during
the ensuing year: President, James W.
Paul, Jr.; vice-presidents, James M.
Rhoades, Dr. J. Chester Morris, Henry

street.

The Market

Business conditions were such last week
that it is not pleasant to write about
them. Almost every retailer sings the
same song. Outside of the few large
social affairs and funeral jobs, there
seemed to be nothing doing. Even the
street men were complaining, but all are
looking for Thanksgiving to start the
ball rolling.

Among the wholesalers there has not
been quite so much complaint, although
there have been such quantities of chrys-
anthemums, lilies and tea roses that
prices were not considered if there was
an opportunity to get rid of the stock.
Violets seemed to have lost their pull, as
they were being sold in quantity at prices
which attracted the street men.

Various Notes.

.To have seen the shipments of ground
pine, boxwood and moss received by the
Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. last week one
would have thought it was Christmas in-
stead of Thanksgiving that was ap-
proaching.

Among the visitors were S. S. Pennock,
of Philadelphia; J. A. Peterson, of Cin-
cinnati; Martin Eeukauf, of Philadel-

phia; Will Craig, with his new rose, Mrs.
Jardine, the flowers of which were well
received here by all.

selves as well pleased with the change to

BOSTON.

The Market.

A shortening up of supplies has been
in progress for the last few days. The
weather also has been overcast for a
week, which reduced the output of
flowers. There has not been any strik-
ing advance in prices, but better clear-
ances have been effected and Thanks-
giving prospects appear a little more
roseate. Unless an avalanche of flow-
ers appears on the market November
26 and 27, it looks as though trade
would be about equal to the normal.

Boses continue to improve. Beauties
are advancing on the better grades.
Bride and Maid show little change. Kil-
larney is making better prices and
there promises to be a good call for the

Wellesley. Liberty is little seen, hav-
ing been largely displaced by Rich-
mond.

promise to clean out as well as any
flowers, colored sorts of course being
in best demand. Chrysanthemums will
not cut much of a figure after the pres-
ent week. The finest flowers seen are
that excellent late white, Mile. Jeanne
Nonin. There are also some good Chad-
wick, Golden Dome and Eaton. Of
course Bonnaffon is most abundant of
the cheaper varieties. Violets have
made a little spurt and with clear
skies may reach the dollar mark. Pa-
per Whites are now quite plentiful.
Callas are more abundant, as are lilies.
Valley is in good supply. There are a
few sweet peas and some nice garde-
nias. Cypripedium insigne and cattleyas
are among choice flowers. No special
change in prices of green supplies.

Various Notes.

Patten & Co. are finding Variegated
Lawson prolific this season and the
plants carry long stems. They are grow-
ing quite a few Winsor, which are do-
ing well. They have a number of
promising seedlings coming along.

The club field day at Framingham
December 14 will undoubtedly draw a
big crowd. Carnations are always a po-
tent attraction when seen as they are
done with the Pramingham growers.

S. J. Goddard has been on the sick
list, but we are pleased to report him as
much improved.

The club landscape gardening classes
will be held on Tuesday and Friday
evenings at Horticultural hall, com-
mencing December 3. One class is for
advanced students, the other for be-
ginners. There will be thirty lessons
for a total cost of only $8.

J. T. Butterworth has this season
many Cattleya labiata sheaths carry-
ing six flowers each and quite a few
with seven each. His Cypripedium in-
signe are fine.

Henry M. Eobinson & Co. have re-
ceived many more orders for Thanks-
giving than a year ago and anticipate
first-class business this week.

Wheeler & Co., of Waban, have a
fine house of Cattleya labiata. They
had 2,500 flowers open a few days ago.

The Harvard-Yale football game,
played at Cambridge November 23,
caused a lively demand for violets and
crimson mums and carnations. The
weather was clear for the first time in
a week and this helped trade.

A telegraphic error made the name
of P. P. Davis appear in the last issue
of the Review as the newly elected
vice-president of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club, instead of William
Downs. The latter served efficiently on
the executive committee last year, and
his promotion is well merited.

Herman Waldecker, of Braintree,
has a fine lot of carnations this season.
Mr. Waldecker is a thoroughly up-to-
date grower, having some fine, modern
honses.

Thomas Boland is marketing some of
his fine cyclamens, which are superior
to any seen on the Boston market be-
fore.

Sidney Hoffman is rapidly coming to
the fore as one of the most up-to-date

the last club meeting, promises to be a
winner. It has a larger flower than
Princess of Wales, a bunch of seventy-
five Boston equaling 100 Princess. Mr.
Sim has a 300-foot house of it, which
is a grand sight now.

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society recently
visited the greenhouses of H. A. Jahn,
of New Bedford, to see his carnations.
A white seedling which is largely
planted and which has been shown at
Boston and other shows, was looking
fine. It is the most wonderfully pro-
lific white the committee had seen. The
flower is large, full and the stem ideal.
There were quite a number of other
promising seedlings.

"Welch Bros, are prepared for a heavy
Thanksgiving trade and, with advance
orders already secured, they anticipate
it will be ahead of last year.

W. N. Craig.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

Trade has been a little quiet the last
week, as far as the cut flower trade goes.
Funeral work is good and this calls for
lots of white flowers. Carnations are in
good supply, with the demand rather
light just now. They retail from 35
cents to 60 cents per dozen. Eoses sell
from $1.50 to $2 per dozen retail. Vio-
lets have not sold very well as yet; they
are now bringing from 75 cents to $1 per
hundred.

From present indications there will be
a good supply of flowers for the holidays.

Horticultural Society.

At the last meeting of the New Bed-
ford Horticultural Society the subject for
discussion was the outdoor and indoor
culture of the chrysanthemum. In the
absence of the grower who had been ex-
pected to address the society on the sub-
ject, William Keith delivered a few
impromptu remarks, giving some useful
information about the outdoor culture of
mums. In the general discussion which
followed, many important details were
considered.

H. A. Jahn spoke of some important

early-blooming varieties which have not
yet reached us from Europe.

Messrs. Forbes, Sherman, Peirce and
Reynolds were appointed a committee to
recommend suitable awards for the win-
ners of premiums at the monthly exhibits
for the past six months.

The subject for the meeting on Decem-
ber 9 will be * ' Plants for Christmas Deco-
ration. ' '

Various Notes.

One of H. V. Sowle's boilers gave out
last week, but luckily the weather has
been good of late. His carnations are
looking good and healthy. He intends
propagating about 50,000 plants the com-
ing season and has got a big batch in
already. White Lawson is a winner with
him. He has some grand Boston and
Piersoni ferns, which find a good sale.
His late mums are now in full swing.
There will be some fine Jeanne Nonin
mums here for Thanksgiving.

Davenport & Son have a large stock of
artificial flower wreaths at their store on
Purchase street.

Peter Murray is sending some nice
Winsor carnations in to E. H. Chamber-
lain.

attack of pneumonia. She is slowly im-
proving. W. L.

The ten houses, each 20x150, fitted with
Evans' Challenge ventilators, in the new
range of the West View Floral Co., are
considered by Alee Scott, the superin-
tendent, to be the best sizes for working
in this locality. Brides and Maids do
well, but Kaiserin is the best summer
variety. Wellesley is grand outdoors and
will rival Maman Cochet; both are as
large as hybrid perpetuals. Wellesley
also does well under glass, but prefers
solid beds to benches. Killarney is not
so thrifty. Richmond does well and likes

more water than other teas. Carnations
are very promising. Enchantress and
Queen Louise are the only two kinds
grown and are kept under glass all sum-
mer. Pink Enchantress lias not been
tried, but Mr. Scott says they will have
it another season, not wishing to be be-
hindhand with a good thing. He has
made several improvements and has
things in excellent shape. In time
benches will be done away with, as he is
convinced that solid beds are the thing
in the south, where the sun has such
power.

Chrysanthemums are passing, but those
having late kinds are getting good prices.
There is an abundance of good stock out-
doors, which affects the sale of early varie-
ties. Timothy Eaton, Mrs. Jerome Jones
and Dr. Enguehard, with Golden Wed-
ding, are the chief kinds. I saw some
grand blooms of these in the swell store
of the C. A. Dahl Co., where Logan D.
Thompson has introduced metropolitan
ideas; in fact, it is doubtful whether a
more handsome and attractive store of
its size can be found anywhere. I saw
some grand Beauties here.

I met Dr. Howard, of the Atlanta
Floral Co., returning from his extensive
plant. He is quite an expert in the busi-
ness and has a fine stock on hand.

Wachendorf Bros, have made great im-
provements and added new houses. They
<lo a big outside business, roses being a
strong feature, especially the crimson
p]toile de France, which they consider the
best outdoor tea yet introduced and an
excellent companion to Maman Cochet,
white, which grows to an immense size
here.

I found Mark W. Johnson, of the John-
son Seed Co., engaged in reading the Ee-
viEw. He says the seed bulletins issued
weekly are very interesting and keep
folks posted when so far from the seat
of war. Mr. Johnson landed here and
embarked in the business directly after
the war, and although he follows along
tlie old lines, he does a remarkable busi-
ness,

Katzenstein & Co. are busy removing
into larger quarters. Seedsmen seem to
have the moving fever about this time.

MACON, GA.

Chas. N. Woodruff has the plant for-
merly owned by his father and does a
good business. His specialty is outdoor
roses, grown on a ten-acre lot a short dis-
tance out. Such varieties as Etoile de
Prance, Maman Cochet, Kaiserin, Welles-
ley, Hermosa and Etoile de Lyon should
be in every southern garden. They thrive
luxuriantly in this rich red soil and clear
atmosphere.

D. C. Horgan, of the Idle Hour Nurser-
ies, was inclined to think the stringency
in the money market is responsible for
the sudden let-up in business which
started in with a boom. Certainly it is
not because this establishment is not pro-
ducing the stock or is lacking in an at-
tractive display. ^

Wilhelmi seems not to have lost interest
in the onion set problem.

The last of the bulbs for bedding are
not moving out as they should, and many
little surpluses still represent a- consid-
erable part of the season's profit.

Many of the bean crops are still in
the straw and the growers are hoping
that they have kept all right since har-
vest. This lack of knowledge as to how
the beans will look when they are threshed
out is the only reason that exists for
thinking there may be a shortage. At

fore harvest things looked favorable for
a fairly good yield.

The seedsmen who issue catalogues
and cater exclusively to retail trade by
mail are not worrying much about prices,
from all accounts. They know what they
have, they know what it cost them, and,
as they have no wholesale trade to bother
about in protecting as to price, they can
proceed with their catalogues and when
they are sold out of a given article and
cannot buy at prices to cover they can
refund the money and let it go at' that.

In the judgment of many of the cata-
logue compilers the wholesale values of
certain varieties of scarce seeds at this
season of the year are of little value as a
guide to base retail prices on. It is
often the case that the users of large
quantities of seeds will pay more in the
fall than the small buyer wll stand for
in the spring. A market gardener will
usually wait until planting time is at
hand and if the price of anything in
seeds that he intends to buy is beyond a
certain figure he will let it go and swing
to something else.

Speaking of onion sets, it is a notice-
able fact that the whites, no matter
where found, are showing a dry rot that
is shortening them up; and the worst
feature is that there is no way to stop it.

At Chicago the week opened with the
market for timothy seed quiet. Novem-
ber, $4.20, and March, $4.50. Country
lots quoted at $3.60 to $4.20. Clover
seed, November closed at $15, cash lots
at $10 to $14.50.

The seeds of the flat varieties of
onions are likely to range around $2 per
pound in the retail catalogues. The
Globes will stand at about last year's
prices, with the exception of White
which will hardly be less than $4 per
pound and perhaps as high as $5. The
Italian sorts will not be changed much
and the American Silverskin will sell
around $2. These prices are the ideas
of one or two parties who are anxious to
get things settled, and if they do not
correspond with the ideas of others on
account of being too low they may be al-
tered before the presses are started. It
18 pretty certain, however, that they will
not be lowered.

SEED WARRANTY.

The Rural New-Yorker has been in-
teresting itself in the matter of the
seedsmen's non-warranty and recently
addressed the following inquiry to a
number of leading seed houses:

One of our readers says he will pay $io a
pound for Prizetaker onion seed absolutely true
to name— which will not produce onions of
different shape or color from Prizetaker. Will
your house guarantee such seed?

The replies are full of interest as
showing how such inquiries are handled
by those who meet them most frequently.
Thorburn & Co. cut it short, as follows:

"We can supply seed of Prizetaker
onion, but we would not guarantee it, or
any other article, in fact, under any con-
sideration. Our stock comes from the
most reliable growers, and we believe it
to be pure, but we could not hold our-
selves responsible for the crop or for the
seed being true to name."

Burpee & Co. talk as though they ex-
pect to make a sale, as follows:

"At Fordhook Farms each season we
have the most complete trial grounds in
the United States. Wo know that our
seeds are as good and as pure as any on
the market, and in fact many times we
find them far superior to many strains
that are ordinarily supplied. There is so
much to be considered as to the purity of
a seed crop that we doubt very much if
there is a seedsman anywhere who would
guarantee new crop seed to be absolutely
pure. If your reader desired to purchase
seed of the Prizetaker onion that can be
guaranteed to be as true to name as it is
possible to get it, it would be far better
for him to purchase year-old seed from a
firm who annually test all the seed they
supply. At Fordhook we test samples for
purity from every sack of onion seed that
is received from our growers. Seeds of
all kinds, as you know, will vary very
much indeed in different seasons, but it
is reasonable to suppose that seed carried
over from a lot that had been proven in
the trial grounds will give the same re-
sults the next season, although it may be
a little deficient in vitality. Wo have so
much confidence in our seeds that they
have for years boon sold under a guaran-
tee which states plainly tlmt while we

The older leaves in eummer are of a dark metallic green, brigbtenlDK to a fresb apple
green toward the extremities, and cbanging wltb the season to a warm tint in autumn.

In size the leaves are Email, beautifully dentate, and the edges, being prettily crimped'
give a very pleasing efTect to the eye, when the plant is growing on a wall or rambling over

This charming novelty clings closely and, growing as it does, rapidly, speedily covers

the protection implied in the name,
cover, or, if sufl5ciently dignified and
decorative, to stop the catalogue on the
way to the yawning waste-basket, which
is the seedman's Hades.

"Much experience has made me shy
in relation to having any definite opin-
ions as to the selling power of any par-
ticular form of cover. This same expe-
rience has convinced me that there is a
tendency for better covers; that is, those
truer to life and free from the garish
characteristics of the German school of
lithography. Yet candor compels me to
also state that I have seen an apparently
beautiful and accurate cover fall down
utterly in pulling business, and an ex-
tremely plain and simple cover produce
satisfactory results.

' ' The selling covers have been usually
colored, and sometimes gaudily colored;
yet a number of extremely satisfactory
covers are in monotone. Speaking cau-
tiously and with an attempt to consider
tiie whole country and not the east mere-
ly, I feel that a well-considered colored
cover made by some one of the processes
which give truthfulness in form as well
as in color, is likely to be satisfactory
and profitable. That it is hard to devise
and secure such covers no man before
me needs to be told.

"I think that, after all, the question
of covers simmers down c-loselv to the

class of trade sought. If the seed house
is of age and dignity, the covers of its
catalogues should show that dignity, and
can bear to advantage some restraint.
If the trade sought is that of the farmer,
color may and frequently does prove
distinctly advantageous. That one of
the strongest, oldest and largest Ameri-
can seed houses has within the last two
seasons found it pays to drop entirely
the glaring forms of lithography for an
extremely refined decorative cover on its
expensive book, is a significant point
which may well be sharply considered."

SIMILAR SWEET PEAS.

Many seedsmen, both at home and in
America, says a writer in an English
trade paper, look* upon George He#)ert
as an improved John Ingman. Cole's
determination to offer seed of his origi-
nal stock will settle the matter, for it
is certain that some of the stuff going
about is nothing like the variety he
first sold to Sydenham. George Her-
bert is claimed to be the result of a
cross. A much boomed penny-a-seed
variety of last year was also said to be
the result of a cross, but the difference
between it and John Ingman, as I know
it, was infinitesimal. The advent of
Rosy Morn, which was quite fixed with
me, still further creates trouble, and I
was amazed when I saw it flower.

Rosie Sydenham is little if any dif-
ferent, and the fact of Burpee's drop-
ping it out of their list after intro-
ducing it serves to indicate its nearness
to John Ingman. Personally, I could
find no difference in these two as I
grew them in 1905.

Still another variety that is likely to
cause some discussion is the new Para-
dise Carmine. I suppose we may take
it for granted that these newer sorts
have been selected from some other vari-
ety, and to the selectors they may pos-
sess points which appear to warrant a
fresh name. The difficulty, however is
to convince the growers that such is 'the
case. There are scores who look upon
Enchantress as being little if any way
different from Countess Spencer. Para-
dise was claimed to be an improved
Enchantress, yet the greater part of it
was purely Countess Spencer, while the

remainder differed in no way from En-
chantress, so far as I could see. Yet
when Paradise was first exhibited, I
looked upon it as synonymous with Cod-
sail Bose, a variety possessing more
color than Enchantress, but having a
tendency to reversion.

What applies to John Ingman also
applies to Countess Spencer, for the
raiser's own stock is now being offered.
Should Cole's stocks of these and his
other Spencer varieties possess superior
points, either in coloring or fixity, it is
safe to say that the recognized traders
will suffer.

I have reason to believe that Cole
has been worried a* great deal by ama-
teurs for true stocks, and his deter-
mination to offer all varieties of his
own raising means that the many splen-
did things he has in hand will not pass
• into trade channels in the ordinary way,
and all because of the sporting trouble.
It is a great pity, anyhow!

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

NOVBMBEB 28, 1907.

Vegetable Forciog.

The price of leaf lettuce at Chicago
has been unprofitably low for the last
month or six weeks.

Walter P. Stokes, Philadelphia, calls
himself "the market gardeners ' seeds-
man," because the special attention he
gives the market gardeners' needs has
brought him a large business in that spe-
cial line.

In taking up asparagus for forcing, if
forced in that way, great care should be
exercised so that all the roots possible
will be carried. The plants should be
planted somewhat closely together in
light, rich soil. The temperature at
starting should be about 50 degrees. As
growth proceeds the temperature may be
increased to 70 degrees. In finishing the
crop, ventilation is essential to a natural-
color.

Under greenhouse conditions and at
*the time of year that the cucumber is
forced it is necessary to provide for pol-
lination. In small establishments this
work can be done by hand. The stam-
inate blossoms are removed, the petals
turned back so as to allow the anthers
to project, and the pencil thus produced
is then thrust into the cup of the pistil-
late flower in such a way as to distribute
pollen upon the stigma of the pistillate
flower. In large establishments where
hand pollination is out of the question
a colony of honey bees frequently is
placed in each house to accomplish the
work.

PRIZE ONIONS.

Some may wonder how the large
onions that" are occasionally seen at
exhibitions are produced in such size
and perfection. Although large speci-
mens are sometimes the result of ordi-
nary outdoor culture all through the
summer, the method usually adopted
by gardeners when aiming at exhibi-
tion onions, is the sowing of the seed
of Prizetaker or Ailsa Craig in shallow
flats during the latter part of winter.
When the seedlings are fit to handle
they are transplanted into other flats,

and perhaps shifted later into small
pots. In spring, when danger of frost
is over, they are planted outdoors in
well enriched soil. Generous space is
allowed for each onion to develop prop-
erly. Thorough soil cultivation is al-
ways essential to success. Feeding
with liquid manure or chemicals is also
resorte(l to bv enthusiasts. B.

DAMP-ROT OF LETTUCE.

The damp-rot has lately appeared in
my lettuce. Any advice you can give re-
garding the treatment of the disease,
also treatment of the soil to prevent the
spreading of the disease, will be appre-
ciated. H. O.

The only ihiug you can do to check the
disease is to lower the temperature a
little and keep the atmosphere of your
house as dry as possible, but if damp-rot
has much of a hold it is doubtful if you
can ever bring your plants back to a
fairly healthy condition.

This disease is one of the most vexing
problems that confront the lettuce
grower, and is brought on by some un-
suitable condition for which it is often
hard to account. Several causes may con-
tribute toward the development of the
disease. Constant vigilance is the price
of good lettuce, so the grower's energies
should be directed toward the prevention
of the trouble by keeping the conditions
as suitable for the crop as possible.

Lettuce does not take kindly to artifi-
cial conditions,' such as must prevail to a
greater or less extent under greenhouse
treatment. It will stand so much, but no
more. In all my experience I have never
found a case of damp-rot on lettuce
grown in coldframes, with average care.
This goes to show that the conditions
prevailing in the coldframe are quite
congenial to its welfare, and in growing

it in the greenhouse it is a safe guide to
copy the coldframe conditions as nearly
as possible; here there is usually abun-
dance of natural moisture, but this does
not seem to do them any harm in the ab-
sence of artificial heat. In the green-
house the artificial heat dries up the nat-
ural moisture, but causes an unnatural
condensation. In this condensation, it is
my opinion, lies the root of the trouble.
From this, then, we can readily conclude
that the less artificial heat we use the less
condensation we are likely to have, besides
preserving more of the natural moisture.
I have found from experience that let-
tuce cannot be forced. It must come
along by easy stages, and it pays to wait
a little longer for a good crop and make
ample allowance for the time it will take,
rather than start a little late and try to
rush them in for a certain date. For
just as sure as the grower begins to try
to push things, damp-rot or some other
such disease vnll put in its appearance
and not only check the growth of the
plants, but cause endless trouble. W. S.

PACIFIC COAST.

Snohomish, Wash. — Fred Gall, who
came here from Chicago five years ago,
now has about 5,000 feet of glass and is
carrying on a very prosperous business.

PORTLAND, ORE.

State of Trade.

The city is feeling the effects of the
financial quiver which is visiting the
whole country, and, as three banking
institutions have already suspended, nat-
urally we are apprehensive of the out-
come. We experfenced a few extremely
quiet days early in the month, and every
means of economy was rigidly enforced,
lunches consisting of coffee and sinkers
being one principal dish and a nickel
cigar our only luxury. However, we are
not pessimistic, and trade has averaged
well. Social events are of minor impor-
tance and counter trade is suggestive
of the depression. It is the big funeral
orders that keep us occupied and relieve
the market of the surplus. The bright
days are still with us, and all kinds of
stock are a]>undanf and of the finest.
Xever have we seen more beautiful chrys-
anthemums than the blooms now offered
to the Portland public. Timothy Eaton
and Appleton are giants and have all
the qualifications for strong competi-
tion. Yet we have to admit that they
have suffered, like all other matured
stock, for present prices will not warrant
growing so many of them tinother year.
Even the great horse show last week did
not stimulate the sale of them, violets
being the general favorite for that oc-
casion.

Carnations are maintaining good qual-
ity, and we notice some excellent blooms
of late addition to this staple flower.

Boses are good, only a trifle off crop,
which is as it should be while the mum
is supreme. H. J. M.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Business, although not equal in vol-
ame to that done at this time one year
ago, is in comparison with that of other
trades, very fair. There is a surplus of out-
door mums, and violets are overplentiful,
bnt outside of these two articles every-
thing is well bought up. Eoses continue
to be scarce, especially fancy stock,
and there are not more than enough
carnations to supply the demand.

ing better cleaned up than it was a
couple of weeks ago. Indoor mums are
getting scarce and only a few of the
later varieties of white and yellow are
seen. Narcissi have made their appear-
ance in fair supply and Koman hya-
cinths are seen, but move slowly..

Sweet peas are showing the results
of the cooler nights and all kinds of
outside stock, with the exceptions I
have named, are becoming scarcer and
of poorer quality.

Smilax has at last become cheap
enough to be used in any place where
green goods are required. Good, long-
stemmed maidenhair seems to be off
crop with a majority of the growers.
There is plenty of shorter stuff, but this
is not of a desirable quality.

Business in Oakland continues to be
as good as can be expected, although
not up to the standard of one year ago.
The best trade at present seems to be
in the line of funeral orders.

PREPARING CUTTINGS.

We are now at the season when hanl-
wooded cuttings of hardy stock can be
made with safety. This does not apply
to all portions of this country, but the
Pacific coast is peculiarly situated cli-
matically and consequently we do such
work much earlier than it can be done
farther east. When the rainfall decides
whether planting of cuttings is to com-
mence or not, it is all-important that the
soil be put in condition at the earliest
moment. I mean by this that the plow-
ing or spading must be done as soon as
possible, even if it has to be done again,
owing to an excess of rain, by which the
soil packs so hard that planting is im-
possible. This is more noticeable in
heavy soils than it is in sandy soil and it
is nothing unusual to have to replow
three or four times before the soil is in
the proper condition to receive cuttings.

When the proper time to make the cut-
tings arrives, and it is when deciduous
trees are thoroughly dormant and at this
time evergreens will be practically in the
same condition, I have found it a good
plan to make the cuttings, tie them in
bunches and put them under a greenhouse
bench, covering the ends for an inch or so
in sand. They should not be kept too
long or too dark in this position, but
they have the advantage of not getting
too much water before they are ready to
sprout.

On the other hand, if the weather is
too dry or the ground not yet sufficiently
moistened to be workable, the same- rule
can be carried out. Do not let the cut-
tings get dry, however, for although they
do not require much moisture, they must
not be allowed to get too dry.

In this condition most cuttings will cal-
lous over and this makes them doubly
sure to grow, and at the same time the
dead ones can be discarded.

This way of handling is not applicable
to many kinds of evergreens, especially
those that are heavily leaved. But in
other cases the leaves can be stripped off
st'ISk *'"**'°S^ treated as in deciduous

Should unfavorable conditions remain
so long that the cuttings are in danger
of damping off, the best plan is to open

the bunches and plant them in flats. Tliey
can be put very closely together and the
sand should be well packed around them.
Be careful that they do not get any ex-
cess of heat overhead, for this is particu-
larly liable to happen during our season
of frosty nights and vparm ckys.

Provided the roots have grown in pro-
portion to the tops, there is little danger
of handling hardy cuttings of any kind
even as late as April, when the soil is
suflSciently moist either by natural or ar-
tificial means to receive them.

The great trouble is with too much
moisture at the root and an excess of
heat overhead, with an absence of the
callousing process at the planted end.

Much better success will be had in
making cuttings early and keeping them
in the way mentioned than in waiting
for the soil and the weather to get right..
Ana the stock plants in the meanwhile are
allowed to get in a condition where the
sap commences to rise. G.

Pres., J. W. Hill, Des MolDes, la.; Vlce-pres.,
C. M. Hobbs, Bridgeport, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. C.
Seager, Rochester; Treae., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. The sad annual conyentlon will be held at
Milwaukee, June, 1908.

C. A. EowLEY is preparing to start a
nursery at Gridley, 111.

David P. Maecum is reported to be
planting an orchard of 10,000 Elberta
peach trees at Woodward, Ok., this fall.

Wiseman 's horticultural establish-
ment, Elgin, Scotland, says it has ten
million larch and eight million Scotch
fir seedlings one and two years old.

William A. Peterson, Chicago, says
that his confidence in the peony has been
justified by the aggregate of the season's
sales, which are ahead of last year.

This has been a splendid season for
the nurserymen of the middle west.
Freezing up having held off, they have
done a most gratifying amount of fall
planting, and are still at it.

One feature of the nursery business is
that fall orders, if anything prevents
filling, can be carried over until spring,
but spring orders, if not filled, are lost.
It pays to push for autumn business.

GoRSE, or Ulex Europseus, has been
successfully grown from plants raised
from seed imported from Scotland, in
several locations along the New England
coast. It has not only survived one but
several winters and blooms regularly and
profusely.

Peterson Nursery, Chicago, reports
that its fall season now is double the
spring leason in volume of business done,
where" ir was just the other way only a
few years ago. Now all work of trans-
planting in the nursery is done in the
spring instead of in the autumn, as for-
merly was the practice.

Ered C. Smith, Ashland, Wis., has
taken steps toward becoming a nursery-
. man as well as a florist. For that pur-
pose he has purchased twelve acres of
land near town, and will begin work on it
as soon as the weather will permit next
spring. It is his intention to put in
20,000 plants the first season, including
fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs and
everything appertaining to a first-class
nursery.

When it is desirable to procure trees
of rapid growth and of pyramidal habit,
to be planted somewhat closely together
to screen some unattractive object, Lom-
bardy poplars will be found to answer
the purpose admirably. This tree is also
well adapted for planting on boundaries
of estates and on places where the archi-
tecture, as well as the general character
of the landscape, requires trees possess-
ing such pronounced characteristics.

C. W. Ward, of Queens, N. Y., who
holds timber interests in Michigan, is at-
tacking the state taxing laws, which he
says are hastening the deforesting of the
state by making it economically impos-
sible for property owners to maintain
their property on the plan of a forest
reserve. Mr. Ward delivered a carefully
prepared address on the subject at the
Lake States Forestry Convention held at
Saginaw, Mich., November 12 and 13.

The season is now at hand for the an-
nual meetings of the state horticultural
societies, and the nurserymen who have
the gift of oratory or the art of "mix-
ing" will proceed to get busy. Either
accomplishment is worth cultivating.

One of the most rapid growing thorns,
as well as one of the handsomest while
in flower and fruit, is the cockspur
thorn, or Crataegus Crus-galli. This
thorn flowers usually about the middle of
May, and while in full bloom it is a
gorgeous mass of pure white. Late in
the autumn the fruit begins to color,
until by the middle of October it is a
bright red color. The fruit remains on
the tree for a considerable time during
which there are but few more striking or
cheerful objects than trees covered with
fruit.

PROTECTION OF EVERGREENS.

Small and medium-sized evergreens in-
variably need some protection in winter.
At least, it usually happens that those
protected in some way are in much bet-
ter condition when spring opens than

In providing partial cover in winter

is not to protect them from frost, but
rather to shade them from the evil ef-
fects of the sun when they are in a
frozen condition. To prevent such bad

in among the growing plants will help
greatly, and so will loose hay or straw
strewn over and among the branches.

It is not expedient to transplant small
evergreens from now on until spring,
but if there is urgent need of moving
large specimens, the work can be carried
on successfully if good balls of earth
are taken with the trees. If the nature
of the soil makes it difficult to retain

au the digging except that necessary for
undermining and then allow the ball to

FOR IMMIOIATB SHIPMKNT

The ritrht time to buy Roses is when they are fresh and well ripened. Roses potted up in
the fall or winter become better established and force better, and are far more satisfactory
in every way, and you can retard and force at your leisure. We recommend American-Krown
Ramblers. Don't attempt to force imported Ramblers; the general experience is that they
are a failure.

We oiler exceptionally strong two-year-old dormant, low-budded stock (on Manetti), in
the following varieties, true to name:

Anne ds Slesbaob. Bright carmine.

Ball of Snow. Pure white.

Baron de Bonstetten. Dark crimson,
shaded.

Baronsss Bothsohild. Satiny pink; extra.

Captain Obrlsty. Delicate flesh-color.

Due of Bdlnbnrcrh. Bright vermilion; fine.

Fisher Bolmss. Dark rich scarlet.

Fran Karl Brasohkl. The finest wblte in
cxlstenco*

General Jacqueminot. Rich velvety crim-
son.

General Washlnsfton. Beautiful red,
shaded carmine.

Jobn Hopper. Beautiful rose pink.

I>a France. The finest lisrht pink.

Marcraret Blckson. White, pale flesh

THE NEW BABY RAMBLER ROSE

Catherine SCelmet. A very important novelty. A White Baby Bambler Boss,
larger and better flowers than the type. White with yellowish center. An important fact is
that it has the true rose perfume in a high degree. One ot the best polyantha types to date.

$60.00 per 100.

THE TREE BABY RAMBLER

Orows as a Standard.

The popularity of the Baby Rambler has suggested the growing of it as a tree or standard.
The variety is too well known for description; enough to say, it retains all its characteris-
tics of free blooming qualities, etc. 35o each; $3.50 per dozen; $25.00 per 100.

DEUTZIA

Gracilis. Pot-grown for forcing. $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per 100.

Paris green as a matter of course and a
necessary duty. Nurserymen and garden-
ers have no excuse for being in any way
less mindful of fruit trees, and when
spraying will come to be looked to as a

The Market.

Business has been quite satisfactory
to the retailers. Several funerals which
■called for a large number of designs,
besides a number of dinner decorations
and several weddings, have used up
nearly all the good stock on hand. The
continued bright weather has given us
a good growing season and the fall
•crop of flowers is showing quality
rather ahead of the usual at this sea-
son. The troubles of the stock and
money markets seem to have had less
effect on the cut flower business than
in any other line of the so-called lux-
uries. Some dealers report a slight per-
centage of falling off from the receipts
compared to last year, but others report
what they consider a normal trade, or
even a slight increase for November.
The charity ball which took place No-
vember 21 was the beginning of the
social season, and the attendance
showed no falling off. The decorations
for the ball were elaborate, as usual,
and done by the Park Floral Co.

Beauties are scarce and hard to get,
especially long stems. Carnations are
none too plentiful, but tney are of ex-
cellent quality. Beds are a little scarce,
and will be for Thanksgiving, while
white and pink and Enchantress are
more abundant. Prices are firm at 3
cents and 4 cents. The violet situation
is not exactly satisfactory as yet, and
supply is limited, at $1 per hundred
wholesale. Paper White narcissi are

Chrysanthemums have come forward
very fast and this week will practically
see the last of these flowers, except a
few late ones. They have been in
good supply and as a paying crop they
have been a success, with prices aver-
aging as good as last year.

Brides and Bridesmaids are in good
crop and yet none have gone to waste.
Richmond, perhaps, is more abundant
than others and excellent in quality.

Berlin, Ont. — The potting shed of H.
L. Janzen was gutted by fire early on
the morning of November 17 and the con-
tents were entirely destroyed. Owing to
the calmness of the night and the excel-
lent work of the fire department the
greenhouses were saved, but considerable
damage was done to the stock by smoke
and heat. The loss is estimated at $4,000,
partly covered by insurance. The fire
started in the boiler-room, but the cause
is unknown.

New Carnation

Brilliant Scarlet

1

DEFIANCE

n

IHIS sterling novelty is the result of a cross between Estelle and a seedling
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; $100.00 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.

Current Comment.

Business was quiet last week and
prices for all stock remain the same.
"The supply, as far as mums are con-
■cerned, is greater than the demand.
All look for a good Thanksgiving trade
3,nd that will about clean up the mum
■crop, with the exception of a few late
ones.

I forgot to mention in my notes of
last week the exhibit of Mr. Totty.
"The single chrysanthemums he sent
contained two or three varieties that
will be useful, but the six single blooms
were the attraction and easily over-
shadowed all others in size. All wished
he had added a few more and put them
up in competition. The exhibit of
Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian, Mich.,
arrived too late to be judged, much
to the regret of all concerned, as all
the blooms were fine and would have
displaced some of the others. But such
is the fortune of the shows, as it seems
to be impossible for all exhibitors to be
:able to get their exhibits through on
time and it's an "ill wind that blows
no one any good."

Messrs. Langstaff and Irwin Berter-
mann are candidates for the position
of superintendent of parks. Their
many friends hope they are not losing
any sleep over the job.

F. J. Hartwich, of the Foley Manu-
facturing Co., was in the city this
week. S.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Business conditions remain steady, with
a little rush of funeral work now and
then. Many small parties have taken
place, with the exceptional large one.
Plenty of stock is going to waste, the
bulk of the stock being mums. The Jap-
anese air plants have found a ready sale
and, with a neat vase, bring a good price.

Various Notes.

John Milley, who a few months ago
bought the business from his brother, is
erecting a new house. The King Con-
struction Co. is doing the work. William
Milley was married a few weeks ago.

J. Bowland Cloudsley has been suffer-
ing from a slight attack of rheumatism.

WACO, TEX.

In the chrysanthemum exposition re-
cently held here by the State Floral
Society, many fine exhibits were staged
and attracted a large attendance. One
of the most unique designs, awarded a
prize, was an elaborate navigation scene,
made of mums and roses, by Miss Annier
Wolfe. The following were among the
prize winners in the general exhibits:
In plants and decorations, Miss Annie
Wolfe, Chas, H. Mayer and Miss B. Harn.
In cut chrysanthemums, James Mohan,
Chas. H. Mayer, Walter L. Eeese and
Walter L. Keese, Jr. In cut roses, C. A.
ICasserman and Walter L. Keese, Jr. In
cut carnations. Miss Annie Wolfe.

Among the most successful exhibitors
in the amateur classes were Mrs. Geo. W,
King, Miss Emma Nelson, Mrs, N. M.
Gay, Mrs. W. S. Plunkett, Mrs. W. P.
Gilbert, J. W. Barnett, D. A. Saunders
and George Stubblefield.

DENISON, TEX.

Regardless of the unfavorable weather
and the freeze just before the opening,
the second annual flower show of the
Denison Civic improvement League No-
vember 20 to 23 was a success in every
way. The exhibits of the city schools
were a prominent feature. Among the
out-of-town florists who sent exhibits
were: J. W. Vestal & Son, Little Rock,

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Flowors of all kinds moved rather
slowly last week. Roses especially have
been a drug on the market. Good mums
brought fair prices, but the large quan-
tity of poor stock that arrives has had to
be moved at great sacrifices. Valley has
hung fire, it being impossible to interest
a buyer at any price. About the only
stock cleaned up was carnations and
eastern double violets, which sold well.

Various Notes.

Smith & Festers held their usual fall
opening threfe days last week. The store
was handsomely decorated with southern
smilax and autumn leaves, elaborately
lighted with fruit and vegetable electric
globes, giving the store a regular Thanks-
giving appearance. Huge bunches and
baskets, mostly gifts from the trade, of
chrysanthemums, . roses, etc., were ar-
ranged in the store. The window looked
especially well, with its handsome green
and lace curtains sprayed with California
grapes and adiantum. The dining-table
in the center of the window was excep-
tionally handsome, with its different dec-
orations of clioice flowers each day. Small
baskets, hampers and vases of violets,
orchids, sweet peaa and valley furnished
the decorations. The attendance for the
three days was unusually largo.

Frank Piggott, on the west side, is out
with a fine new delivery wagon, it being
one of the handsomest in the city. The
color is solid black, with gold lettering.

George W. Smith, of the Cleveland Flo-
rists* Exchange, had the misfortune to
lose his daughter, a baby of sight months.
The entire craft expresses sympathy in
the bereavement.

Ogden Gaul, of the Cleveland Cut
Flower Co., reports business first-class
throughout the state.

Fred Zeichman has been rebuilding
some of his houses, putting in cement
sides on the new benches,

John Kichner is cutting some fine Rom-
ans and Paper Whites, which come in
handy for his funeral work, of which he
has quantities.

Gordon Gray has a fine house of mums
for Thanksgiving.

TRe Cleveland Cut Flower Co. will be
in its new store on High street December
1. It will be one of the finest wholesale
cut flower and supply stores in the west.
Knoble Bros, report trade good, having
had a good run of funeral work all last
week.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

NoVKMBKlt 28, 11)07.

CINONNATL

The Market..

Last week brought the lowest ebb of
the flower business for this season. There
"was hardly any life in the demand and
what stock was sold hdd almost to be
pushed upon the buyer, and at any price.
Boses were sold out at job lots for what
one could get for them. Even the best
quality was hard to move at a decent
-price. Mums arrived in large quantities,
but it can be said for them that few
found their way into the ash barrel and
the average price was not so bad, all
.things considered. But it took hustling
to keep things moving so as to prevent a
.big glut. Carnations in all but the
■poorer grades moved out nicely and the
best quality sold at a good price. Violets
Svfire in fair demand and sold well in
'spurts. Valley sold much the same way.
Lilies are a drug. The small mums for
work were a glut and they were the hard-
est of all to move. The retailers had no
funeral orders, and even cheapness would
not tempt them.

* From all indications it appears that
from now on mums will be good property.
The heaviest cut' is over and what are
left will average much better prices.
Thanksgiving also will give things a
boost, as quite a few advance orders have
been booked and there ought to be some
good business before this week is over.
With the demand anywhere near the sup-
ply, prices will advance to normal, and
with the business thus equalized all of us
will feel more cheerful and' perhaps begin
to make a little money.

Various Notes.

David Knott, who has charge of the
city greenhouses in Eden park, has his
mums in fine shape this season and the
houses are being visited by thousands of
people every day. The last two Sundays
brought out large crowds, who were well
pleased with what they saw.

Myer Heller, of New Castle, Ind., was
here for a couple of days last week. He
was on his way home from a business
trip through the south.

Fred Lautenschlager, representing the
Kroeschell Bros. Co., of Chicago, was a
caller. C. J. Ohmer.

HoPKlNSViLLE, Ky. — As is well known
in the trade, T. L, Metcalfe, besides his
greenhouses, has several other interests,
including a steam laundry, and it is said
that between the greenhouses and laun-
dry he gives the ej^ress companies more
business than any one else in Hopkins-
ville.

"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 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.

21 YEARS

spent in running greenhouses will not
make a rubber manufacturer out of a
florist. But 21 years' experience enables
a FLORIST to select a hose as no man-
ufacturer could, with regard to light-
ness, strength, flexibility and endurance.

SUNNYWOODS GREENHOUSES

afford both the experience and the hose.

A TEST

The "Sonny woods" Hose is one that I
can heartily and -t^onscientioasly endorse,
after seeinsr Its behavior since the sprlnc
of 1905. This afternoon I gave a se-
vere tfst to a length that has been in con-
stant use for ovxr ie^veHrs, by putting on
the "Boss jet" SHUT TIOHT. and then
turned on the water. Our water has a pres-
sure of 110 lbs. and althonsh this hose was
worn through 4 of the 7 ply, it stood the
test; whit h Is even better than I thought
for. This should speak for itself to any
florist wanting a good hoso.

November 28, 1907.

SAVANNAH, GA.

A, C. Oelschig & Son report a bigger
trade than ever in rubbers. Mr. Oelschig,
St., the acknowledged rubber king, was
under the weather at the time of my
visit, but only for a spell, he says. The
boys are keeping up the reputation made
by the founder and, judging by the qual-
ity of the wagonload of floral designs
just being sent out, the Gate City can
hold its own in this direction.

A. W. Richardson is a recent addition
to the craft and is scoring a success. He
was formerly a successful market gar-
dener and has combined the two branches
into one.

Geo. Foulsham is superintendent of the
S. P. Shotter estate and is making many
improvements. He is a Lenox graduate
and very popular with the boys here.

There is talk of forming a florists'
club, and certainly there is ample mate-
rial for one. John Wolf will give the
first essay, on how to force valley, he
being one of the heaviest growers in the
south, as well as one of the most artistic
decorators. John Heeremans, superin-
tendent of the R. T. Wilson, Jr., estate
at Bluflfton, is expected to give an illus-
trated lecture on the culture of the
famous Sea Island cotton plant, which
under his care has attained a high degree
of cultivation. He is also a Lenox gradu-
ate and is making rapid and successful
strides on this vast estate, which em-
braces an area of twenty square miles.
A leading feature will be the naturaliza-
tion of hardy bulbs and orchids, the idea
being to give a semitropical effect.

H. F. Teynac is building a snug dwell-
ing adjoining his greenhouse plant. He
is one of the pioneers and has built up
a sound business. ^^

Oregon, III.— Frank Gilbert is erect-
ing a greenhouse seventy-five feet long
and expects to shortly put up two more.
He sees every prospect of good business.

Toledo, O.— Krueger Bros, have pur-
chased twenty-six acres of land about a
mile beyond the city limits, in Wood
county, and intend to begin next spring
the building of what will eventually be a
large range of houses.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

The Bridesmaid's Basket.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph of a bridesmaid's basket
designed by Charles Henry Fox, at thQ
Sign of the Eose, Philadelphia. It is
a crushed hat filled with Killarney roses,
Mr. Fox being a great admirer of the
delicate shading of the Killarney rose
when used for this purpose. No green
has been used, the foliage being suffi-
cient.

THE RETAILERS' POSITION.

[A paper read before the Florists' Club of
Philadelphia, December 3, 1907, by Charles H.
Grakelow. ]

The retailer of today is a much har-
assed man, as, with endeavoring to real-
ize the constantly increasing opportuni-
ties of the business, trying to adjust the
prospective customer to the ever-varying
prices of grower and commission-house,
and a desire to hold and add to his most
valuable asset, customers, his is an un-
enviable lot. Wholesaler of cut flowers,
temper your prices with the knowledge
of past sales and the possibilities of
the future, and at the first sign of scar-
city do not make advances so rapidly
that the retailer stands mutely by,
thinking it a Shakespearean drama and
expecting to hear that world-famous
quotation: "Lay on, lay on, Macduff,
and damned be the first to cry enough."

The Retailers' Troubles.

A slight knowledge of the conditions
of the market and the orders entered
on the book, which are paid for and
waiting to be delivered, educate the re-
tailer to the advance, but a duplication
of last week's effect for the same
amount or a slight increase, if any, is
all the prospective customer can see.

The Thursday before Easter last year
a little girl asked your humble servant
for 15 cents' worth of cut flowers, and,
"Mamma does not wish too many of one
kind." Another instance: Carnations
are 35 cents a dozen. "Give me three
and put them in a box; plenty of wax
paper so they will not bruise, as I am
taking them across the mountains."

"Will some wholesaler kindly advise
the best method of handling the retail
trade?

Gentlemen, I know this is the extreme
and is simply quoted to give you a
slight idea of the troubles a retailer en-
counters without advancing prices. Help
ns to educate the people to a more gen-
erous use of flowers; do not discourage.
Our business is in its infancy and ab-
normal profits today will not meet all
the obligations of the future.

Carfare and Credits.
Agitation of carfare charges is one
worthy of consideration. In large pur-
■liases, carfare is ignored. Now, then
wiien the occasional short-notice, un-
important order (except for the knowl-

edge of the value of the customer in the
past and the prospects of future busi-
ness) comes along, should not the
wholesaler pleasantly share our misfor-
tune as well as our prosperity?

While, no doubt, unreasonable de-
mands are made upon the wholesaler, a
fixed rule in this case is not practica-
ble. The wise man measures his cloth
to fit the customer.

The amount saved by the wholesalers
by a united stand for only thirty days'

at any price, and with a hamlsome
profit.

Laxity in credit invites men of no
stability to embark in any business,
inakinj{ unequal competition for the men
who pay and a sad experience for the
wholesalers when the inevitable failure
takes place.

Give the small fellow the same atten-
tion as the big fellow, as our baby of to-
day is our man of tlie future.

Local- and Shipping Demand. I

Keep in close touch with your con-
signors. Impress on them the necessity
of shipping when requested, the stock
desired, so the poor retailer does not
have to substitute and thereby lose a
good customer.

When stock is scarce and out-of-town
orders strong, before filling orders on
file, ask yourself: "Where were the
shipping orders when the summer glut
was on?" Then fill according to your

Crushed Hat with Killarney Roses, for Bridesmaids.

credit would more than meet the carfare
charges and assist the" legitimate florist
by effectually removing the "take-the-
order-at-any-price " retailer. The small
occasional payments on a constantly in-
creasing account enable him to take an
order at almost any price and still fig-
ure on a 100 per cent profit. That
which he does not pay for can be .sold

judgment, realizing that the high dollar
policy is not always the most profitable
in the end.

Whether the faker is the godsend to
the business that the wholesaler would
have us believe, is a question in my
mind. That he instills in the heart erf
the public a love and a desire for flowers
is true, but would not more good be de-

The Weekly Rorists' Review.

Deckmbub 5, 1907.

rived by the business in the future by
allowing tlie storekeeper to purchase at
the same price when the glut is on, there-
by enabling him to run a "special" or
use the extra quantity (which he would
purchase at the reduced figure) to make
a window display? The attention would
attract credit to that store, and, inci-
dentally, create a heavier demand for
the wholesaler by reason of the increased
patronage which the retailer would re-
ceive.

True, the fakers move . stock we
couldn't; but is it right that we should
pay a higher price than' they for the
good stock we so often see upon the
street, when we in winter pay the price
which they will not? The up-to-date re-
tailer, if given a chance at low-priced
stock, will consider a display good ad-
vertising. The wholesalers claim the
fakers move stock which would other-
wise stand: When next overstocked
give us a chance to do a little moving
and the result will, I think, be a pleas-
ant, profitable surprise.

Closer Relations Desirable.

The retailer is a grateful, but inde-
pendent, man, and does not desire some-
thing for nothing, but only asks the
same desire to serve him in January as
is displayed in July, and his sun will
always shine bright.

Discuss all subjects with your retailer
that concern him, inject into every club"*
meeting a social feature, and the dis-
trust now existing throughout the trade
will give way to a better feeling be-

tween wholesaler and retailer and good
felhiwship will be the stepping stone to
a better understanding of each other.

THE TABLE DECORATION.

"Go hire a hall" is old advice where
friendly argument is long drawn out, but
Adolph Brix, of St. Louis, accepted it as
fitting his case when he concluded to give
a public flower show this fall. He not
only hired his hall but he filled it with
exhibits, all on his own responsibility
and as a demonstration of his facilities
as a retail florist. To say that Mr. Brix
was amply repaid for his enterprise and
expenditure is putting it mildly. The
hall was thronged with visitors through-
out the days of his display and as an
advertisement it was far and away ahead
of what any other retail florist has ac-
complished this fall.

The illustration opposite shows a
unique table decoration which was a fea-
ture of the exhibition. It is supposed
to have been spread for a wedding feast
and plates are laid for twelve. It wiU
be noted that both low and high styles
of decoration are combined and that the
greatest objection to high decoration, the
obscuring of the view across the table,
is obviated by the character of the sup-
ports used. The flowers were rosea and
valley.

As is almost always the case at flower
shows, the table decoration attracted
more attention than any other display of
the retailer's skill.

CARNATION NOTES - EAST.

System.

' The beginning of this mouth should
see the pressure of work relieved and a
routine established.

If the plants are clean of dead leaves,
the soil in good mechanical condition and
free from weeds, and if the supports are
in place, close attention can now be given
to watering, airing, disbudding and cut-
ting the blooms, each in its proper time.
By this is not meant that certain parts
of the day can be set apart in wiiich to
perform each operation, or that all claim
attention every day, but that we can ar-
range the work in such a way as will al-
low of its being done at the most essen- *
tial time ; in other words, at the plants '
convenience and not our own.

By this means one can drive the work,
instead of the work driving him.

Every grower must, of course, ])lan his
work to make the most of his working
force and to best serve his trade, but
whether the place be large or small, there
should be a system — necessarily some-
what flexible, it is true, to meet changes
in weather.

Watering and Airing.

Watering and airing are operations
much dependent on weather conditions,
though it is a safe rule to take a look

oyer tlio beds every morning and after-
noon in search of spots that may have
dried out more than the surrounding
soil, remedying this, if need be, what-
ever the weather may be. And it may
be said of airing that every day requires
more or Jess, it being more the amount
than the mere question of ventilation
that is dependent on outside conditions.

♦Early morning or late afternoon is
the proper time to cut blooms — the for-
mer preferred.

It is said that ' ' woman 's work is
never done ' ' ; this is likewise true of
disbudding; so that there need be no
lack of something to fill out the routine.
To go into details of all these operations
in one batch of notes is not possible,
but each will be dealt with in due time.
Meanwhile keep this matter of system
well in mind.

The Christmas Crop.

Tlio time is very near when growth
in plants is naturally at its lowest ebb;
every minute of daylight is needed to
keep tilings moving and to forward the
holiday cut.

You may have noticed in former years
what unfavorable weather we usually ex-
perience during the week previous to
Christmas. In any event one cannot go
far wrong in taking this circumstance
into consideration, for if the period
should prove fine this year, so much
the better. Geo. S. Osborn.

CARNATION NOTES-WEST.

The Holiday Cot.

All your plants will be well established
now and should be making a strong
growth, if they are not in full crop even
now. No doubt you are beginning to
figure up what your chances are for a
big cut for the holidays, and I may add
that it is not too early to do whatever
you find it necessary to do, to get your
crop as heavy as possible at that time.
There will be a scant three weeks from
the time you get this until Christmas, At
this time of the year it is not wise to
hurry a crop too much by running the
house warm. With the lack of sunshine
and the short days the plants and blooms
giovf soft enough under normal condi-
tions, and hard forcing will likely make
your cut worthless for the greatest part
of the season.

However, if you see that your crop i^-"^
going to come a few days late, you can
speed them along moderately by raising
the temperature 2 degrees from now on
and giving light top dressings of wood
ashes and lime two weeks apart. Before
watering it into the soil, rub it into what-
ever loose material there is with the
hand. This rubbing over the loose sur-
face material will help as much as the
dressing itself. In fact, you will find
that one of the best things you can do
is to repeat it every two weeks through-
out the season. It opens up the soil and
lets the air in. It acts the same as cul-
tivating in the field. With this extra
heat must go a proportionate amount of
extra ventilation, even though you may
find it necessary to run an extra pipe
part of the time. If you neglect this
part you will find yourself the possessor
of a lot of fine big blooms which will go
to sleep the day after you cut them. The
carnation's great popularity is based
very largely on its fine keeping qualities,
and to destroy these qualities is a mis-
take you cannot make up with size of
bloom or in any other way.

Beware of Overfeeding.

If your crop is right and coming along
nicely, with blooms of fair size and good
texture, etc., be reasonable. It is a great
temptation when one has fine, strong
plants, in excellent health. One wants to
push them just a little harder, to get
extra size and more blooms, and feeding
is the first thought which presents itself.
Many a fine crop has been ruined by it
when applied by overzealous hands. Much
of the splitting of calyxes is also caused
by overfeeding. For instance, take En-
chantress and such varieties ; when there
is a good crop of buds, if the encourage-
ment is confined to keeping the top soil
stirred slightly and careful watering and
ventilating and firing, fine blooms will be
cut and very few splits. But give them
a dressing of sheep manure or any other
of the common feeding materials and at
once you w}]\ see a large percentage of
splits, to say nothing of soft texture. To
avoid the splitting you will raise the
temperature, only to aggravate the soft-
ness of bloom and stem. Later, when
the days are longer and the sun is strong
enough to necessitate a good deal of ven-
tilating, the plants will be able to take
the feed and then they will enjoy it and
give it back to you with interest in th6
blooms.

gating most varieties. However, if you
have some which you wish to work up
all you can, there is no need to throw
away the one or two good cuttings you
will cut with each bloom. Take them
off and root them, and if you will keep
them growing they will make fine plants.
Take only good, strong cuttings if you
wish to keep up the vitality of the stock.
Weak cuttings will never make strong
plants, even though they have twice as
long to grow. Of course you have your
supply of sand, enough for the whole sea-
son. Do not cover it with boards, but use
sash instead. The sunlight will be better
for it. A. F. J. Baur.

BREAKING OFF THE BLOOMS.

Should carnation blooms be broken off
at a joint or cut with a knife! C- U.

Carnation blooms should be broken off
at the lower joint of the flower stem, and
if this is done early in the morning they
snap off readily. KiSes.

CUTWORM AND RED SPIDER.

Enclosed you will find some carnation
leaves. "Will you please tell us what the
trouble is and how to remedy it?

R. H. L.

The specimens you sent were so badly
frozen that I could tell but little about
them. Your inquiry does not give any
description, either. I could see that some
of the leaves had been chewed by some
form of cutworm or larva, and for these
I would suggest that you use the flour,
sugar and Paris green mixture, as rec-
ommended in the Review of October
24, page 11.

There are also traces of red spiders,
which cause the foliage to take on a
rusty appearance. For these the best
remedy is a sharp spray from the
hydrant, applied with as much force as
possible on every bright day, until they
have been eradicated. Cut the foliage
with the spray from the side; in fact
It should be done from both sides, in
order to hit the under side of each

blade, as that is where they lodge usu-
ally. Whenever a leaf is cupped or
furled you will always find them in th^
cupped side. Do not spray too many
days in succession at this time of the
year,^ ev^n though the days may be
bright. If the plants are thoroughly
syringed they will be wet through and
through, and one day's sun will not dry
them out fully, and if the drenching is
repeated several days in succession the
dense part of the plant is likely to be-
gin decaying. By spraying two days
in succession and then skipping one or
two days, you will avoid any such con-
dition. A. F. J. B.

SPOT ON VIOLETS.

Please inform me what to do for white
spot on violet leaves in field and house.
Is there any means of eradicating it!
If so, detail the plan. R. L.

The spot on violets (Alternaria violae)
is dreaded by all cultivators of this
flower. The single varieties seem almost
immune from its attacks, or, if they have
it, usually grow out of it quickly. It is
otherwise with the doubles, as once it ap-
pears it will speedily run over a house.
No spraying antidotes are really effect-
ive. Picking off affected dead and de-
caying foliage, keeping the soil stirred
and everything as clean and sweet as pos-
sible is the best way to combat it. Select
the best plants to propagate from for
another season. Grow your stock under
glass through the summer or plant in

very early. Use care in watering, venti-
lating and other details and this is about
as much as you can do to keep clean
stock. Even with these precautions many
fail; still others succeed, and there is no
reason why you should not be one of the
latter. W. N. C.

VIOLET GOVERNOR HERRICK.

la the Governor Herrick a true violet
or is it one of the pansy- violet hybrids?
My Herricks have practically no odor;
neither do they send out any runners, but
grow in dense clumps. I should be
pleased to know if they take with the
trade. W. D.

Not knowing anything of the parent-
age of this violet, I am unable to answer
the first part of your query. Governor
Herrick has not with us proved a satis-
factory single violet. It gives few flow-
ers in winter, when flowers are most
needed. And when they do come they
are neither in size, color nor odor equal
to Princess of Wales, The color is not
popular in the large flower markets of
the east and it looks as though Princess
of Wales had the field pretty much to
itself among single violets. C. W.

OUTDOOR PROTECTION.

While no severe weather has yet come
our way, we can never tell how soon an
arctic visitation may arrive, and it be-
hooves us to be ready for it when it does
arrive, Roses of the perpetual class, as
well as hybrid teas, should be protected
at once in the more northern states.
Farther south a few days later will be
early enough. Perennials of doubtful
hardiness, which have not been lifted and
stored in frames, should be given a good
covering of forest leaves, pine needles or
strawy manure. All herbaceous peren-
nials are benefited by a winter mulching,
either of leaves or coarse manure. If
leaves are used, and they make the most
ideal covering, they must be held in place
with spruce or pine boughs or the wind
will whisk them in all directions. Rho-

8 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ dkckmbeu 3, im.

dodendrons, andromedas and other flow-
ering evergreen shrubs need a heavy
mulching of leaves to keep the roots
moist and exclude frost. Pansies, violas,
foxgloves, aubrietias, hollyhocks and sim-
ilar plants will winter well in even north-
ern climes if on sloping ground and
mulched with leaves or straw held in
place by evergreen boughs. This covering
Bhould not be applied until the ground
becomes hard frozen. Beds of Dutch
bulbs require the same treatment. It is
a big mistake to heavily cover them until
they are frozen, for the mulching keeps
the ground warm and causes the bulbs to
push up into the covering when they
should be lying dormant. Consequently,
when removing the protective material in
the spring, many tops are broken. Lil-
lums should have a good covering, which
should not be removed too early in spring.
The majority of hardy plants need only
a light mulching, just such a covering as
we see shed in the woods each fall. Un-
less it is necessary to exclude a frost, be
on the safe side and cover lightly, but

bo sure your covering cannot blow away.
Firm all labels well in the ground to pre-
vent frost heaving them. Look over and
rename any plants requiring it.

INSECTS ON FERNS.

I have an insect on my ferns which is
doing great damage. It is a very small
white fly, which multiplies rapidly, and
the ferns turn yellow and die. Please
advise me as to what I can syringe with
and not damage the ferns. G. W. C.

Without seeing a specimen from the
affected plants, one must necessarily an-
swer this query by guess, there being so
many insects found on ferns. But it
seems likely that this is the same insect
that is so frequently found upon Boston
ferns, and one that has caused much
trouble to growers. If so, the best meth-
od of procedure would be to cut off the
worst leaves, and then to dip the plants
in a solution of Rose Leaf extract ;>f to-

l)aL'((), uting one part of the extract to
fifty parts of water.

'jhia insect is hard to kill and may
need more than one application. Syring-
ing with the sanfe preparation may also
be done, but is less effect ve than dip-
ping. W. H. Taplin.

PROnTS IN PLUMOSUS.

I should like to have someone tell me,
through the Review, if Asjjaragus plu-
mosus would be a paying crop at an
average price of 20 cents a bunch, a
dozen in a bunch. I have a house 20x60
feet. What could I realize out of a
house that size? F. J. R.

If F. J. R. is not growing any strings
from the same plants, he ought to cut
about twenty-five good sprays to the
square foot, which, at his price, woukl
make a house 20x60 bring about $4S0
of gross income. With extra good cul-
ture, he may be able to exceed that es-
timate. Albeet F. Amling.

THE NOVELTIES.

Grace Whitney.

Grace Whitney is an American seed-
ling that has received the society's rec-
ognition as a handsome exhibition pink.
It was exhibited by Frank Whitney as
No. 4 and has since been named Grace
Whitney. Size, stem and foliage are
O. K., and it will hold its own with
any of the importations. I considered
it one of the good things that I could
not afford to let go, and so the control
passed from Mr, Whitney to myself. We
do not have many native seedlings that
come large enough to run in the exhibi-
tion class, and I think more of it on
that account.

Other Novelties.

W. Meredith, as a crimson, is also
welcome, because we have so few really
good crimsons. We all used to love the
old Edwin Molyneux, and Meredith
might easily be taken for a good flower
of that variety. I have no compunction
in recommending Meredith to any one
who will give it good care and who
knows when to stop feeding.

Glitter, which W. Wells thinks very
highly oif, has not done well with me.
The color is good, but the flower is
only medium in size and poor in stem,
and after a second year's trial I cannot
indorse it. I understand it has done
fairly well in the west, but I Jo nut
think it will do in our locality.

Mrs. J. C. Neill has a serious rival
here in Cheltoni, which is also an Aus-
tralian, and seems to get better every
year. It does not show much difference
in style, color or growth from Cheltoni
at present. It is a gold medal winner in

Australia, and so another year may show-
it up in a much more striking manner.

The notes printed November 21, wifh
this addition include the best of the
new things as I have seen them, and
I think we have more good ones than
usual. The interest in novelties certainly
keeps up, and I believe it will continue
to do so as long as the quality of the
novelties is likewise kept up.

BITLER'S PRIZE-WINNERS.

One of the successful exhibitors at the
show of the Indiana State Florists' So-
ciety, held at Indianapolis in November,
was W. A. Bitler, (tf Kokomo, and the
interesting feature about his prize-win-
ning was that this is his first season
growing chrysanthemums and that he had
an exceedingly limited quantity from
which to select his exhibition blooms. He
took first for ten pink, on Dr. Enguehard,
with only 150 plants to select from, and
he took second on yellow, with Col. Ap-
pleton, with only 100 plants to select
from. Mr. Bitler 's blooms are shown in
the accompanying illustration, but as the
flowers are only second consideration in
the Bitler family, the children were put
in front.

REVIEW OF VARIETIES.

The Best Forty.

In accordance with my usual custom,
I present herewith a review of the best
forty varieties, in their respective colors,
as they have shown up at the exhibi-
tions. This table of varieties is com-
piled as far as jmssible from my own
experience, and from the published lists
of varieties exhibited at different shows

and checked by myself at gliows I have
visited. Not one of the uudisseminated
sorts is given, because they are not yet
in general culture, and consequently are.
only in the experimental stage.

Yellow.— F. S. Vallis, Col. Appleton,
Mrs. Geo. Hunt, Cheltoni, Mrs. W.. Duck-
ham, C. Montigny, Dubuisson-Foubert,
Mrs. W. Knox, Souv. Scalarandis and
Rose Lawrence.

White. — Beatrice ilav. Miss Clay
Frick, Pres. Loubet, ills. D. V. West,
Merza, Nellie Pockett, Mile. Simone Jos-
sier. May Seddon, Ben Wells and Mrs.
F. F. Thompson.

Pink. — President Vigor, Miriam Han-
key, M. Loiseau-Rousseau, Morton F.
Plant, William Duckham, Reginald Val-
lis, Valerie Greenham and Lady Hope-
toun.

Red.— Mrs. H. Partridge, S. F. Wright,
Mrs. A. H. Lee.

Bronze shades. — Ethel Fitzroy, Mrs. J.
A. Miller, Mrs. Geo. Heaunio, Mmo. L.
Roussel and Dakoma.

Chestnut and red shades. — Mrs. John
E. Dunn, Mrs. Henry Barnes. E. J.
Brooks and Mary Ann Pockett.

Some Old Friends.

It is interesting to note how some old
friends stick. Among them are Merza,
whicii was shown in splendid shape
again; also Nellie Pockett, which seems
to improve right along; F. S, Vallis,
which still takes the prize always for
the biggest flower in the show, and Col.
Appleton, which is still largely shown
in yellows.

Chrysanthemiste Montigny furnished
the most sensational vase in yellows.
This has been previously noted in these
columns, but I seriously question if it is
over siinwn again in such condition. Mrs.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

* Chrysanthemum Grace "Whitney.

W. Knox and Kose Lawrence, while not
much used as long-stemmed vase flowers,
are fine for the short-vase classes. Souv.
Scalarandis is an addition in this class
that may need special treatment to keej^
it from wilting, but so many growers
can now handle Merza right that I
know manv will handle Scalarandis equal-
ly well.

The two most prominent additions to
the yellow class of the novelties are Mary
Donnellan and Mrs. J. P. Neil.

Wonderful Keeping Qualities.

The whites show Beatrice May as be-
ing exhibited more largely than any oth-
er one variety. One of the most remark-
able instances I know of, in regard to
flowers keeping," was told me at the Phil-
adelphia show, of Beatrice May. An ex-
hibitor, William Robertson, staged flow-
ers in perfect condition and won first
prizd with the identical flowers that he
had exhibited a month previously, which,
with all due credit to the skill of the
grower in knowing how to keep them,
shows wonderful lasting qualities on the
part of the flower itself.

President Loubet did not do very well
with me, but some splendid blooms were
set up by men who caught an early
crown bud. Clay Frick and Mile. Simone
Jossier, two new additions to the whites
should hold for some time. The latter
might be stouter in stem with advantage
perhaps. ^ '

Mrs. D. V. West and Mrs. F. F
Thompson are for short-vase classes only
but they cannot be beaten in this re-
spect, the former oeing the largest white
we have and the latter one of the most
beautifnl. May Seddon is a beautiful
vvhite, but it needs to be started early
to get the best results. The whites will
be enriched this year by the addition of

several good ones, among them W. M.
Moir, Mrs. Norman Davis, Mrs. Girard
Foster and Lynnwood Hall.

In the pink class President Viger fur-
nished the largest flowers in several
shows. It is coarse and often of poor
color, but in size it is truly enormous.
Reginald Vallis has shown itself to be
one of the most striking things of late
years and will be very largely grown
another year. T^oiseau-Rousseau is a
poor color, but well-nigh perfect in form,
size, foliage, stem and every other good
(juality. It was very popular wherever

exhibited. Lady llopetoun was shown
splendidly in several places, particularly
so at Lenox, Mass., by A. H. Wingett.
We certainly cannot yet do without Lady
Hopetoun. Additions to the pink class
this year are O. H. Br^omhcad, Grace
Witney and Mrs. Joa. Sinnott, the first
an imported variety, destined, I think,
to become a leader, and the two latter
American seedlings, one of which, Grace
Witney, was a\varded a certificate by the
C. S. A.

Few Good Red Novelties.

Perhaps the most unsatisfactory class
is the reds. Very, very few are good,
Partridge being practically the only va-
riety that does not burn. Wright, on the
late bud, is fine if one keeps the feed
away from it. I tested a dozen or more
reds in the novelties this year and re-
tained only one, W. Meredith, which I
think should be a welcome addition.

The any other color class takes in
many of the finest varieties we have,
Mrs. John E. Dunne, Mrs. J. A. Miller,
Ethel Fitzroy and E. J. Brooks being
shining examples. While they cannot
be shown as either white, pink or yel-
low, when it comes to a collection, or for,
say, six varieties, six flowers of each,
these kinds are indispensable.

The additions to this class that will
be welcomed will be Mary M^son, Mrs.
W. Wells, Dorothy Goldsmith, Margaret
Codrington and Kitty Lawrence. Neither
of these has been scored by the C. S. A.,
because stock was scarce with me and
it is impossible to exhibit at several
places and have enough to do the vari-
ety justice. Were I to exhibit at all
the shows where I am asked to exhibit,
and where I would like to exhibit, I
would need several hundreds of each
variety, and those who have tried im-
porting plants do not need to be told
that this is impossible.

The Exhibitions.

Speaking so far as my personal ob-
servation goes, I would say that the av-
erage quality of the flowers staged was
well in advance of any previous year,
not alone in a few wonderful vases that
were shown here and there, but in the
great bulk of the flowers. The growing
season, or rather I should say the finish-

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Deckmbek 5, 1907.

ing season, from September 1 to show
time, was the best season I ever remem-
ber. No fogs to cause one heart failure,
and no very warm spells, but just the
clear, crisp, cool weather that the mum
delights in. This, no doubt, helped the
growers to finish their flowers in better
shape than usual. Many of the shows
were rendered more attractive by exhib-
its of pompons and singles and a larger
variety of short-stem classes.

Anything that furnishes a change from
the monotonous routine of the average
flower show should be encouraged, if we
are to retain and increase the interest in
flower showing and flower growing.

C'HARLKS H. TOTTY.

TWO SAMPLES OF GARZA.

I send what are supposed to be two
flowers of the Garza chrysanthemum.
Which one is the true Garza, the single
one or the one with the full center f Are
they distinct varieties in the trade! The
culture of both has been the same.

O. S.

The flowers sent were both Garza, to
the best of my knowledge and belief,
though they were both flattened out
when they reached me so that I could
not tell very much about them. The
type varies somewhat, of course, but the
cushion, which is the distinguishing mark
of that class of chrysanthenuims, is
plainly visible.

If O. S. wishes to keep his stock good
he should propagate only from the best
plants, showing true character, and by
that means eliminate the poorer variety.
Selection of stock has just as much to do
with success in chrysanthemum culture
as anything else. Charles H. Tctty.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Propagating.

As the season for propagating ap-
proaches we should begin to get every-
thing in readiness for that important
branch of the work, so that there will
be no drawbacks to prevent the work
being done in season.

The propagating house should claim
our first attention. The benches should
be looked over and put into good shape;
the pipes should be tested and the ven-
tilators adjusted. The benches should
be thoroughly washed and given a coat
of hot lime wash to help destroy insect
eggs and fungus spores. The house
should also get a thorough fumigation.

The Supply of Sand.
The propagating medium should be

secured while the weather is open, and
in sufficient quantity to supply the sea-
son. Where clean, sharp sand can be
procured it is suitable for almost any of
the ordinary kinds' of stock, as it pos-
sesses no nutritive properties, thus pre-
venting decomposition, and as a medium
for retaining moisture in sufficient quan-
tity for this purpose, without souring, it
is nearly perfect.

This sand should be laid on the bench
to the depth of five inches and then
watered. When partly dry it should be
pounded quite firm and made of even
depth all over.

Handling the Cuttings.

The cuttings of teas and hybrid teas
should be put in straight lines across the
bench, with a distance of about two
inches between the lines and with the
cuttings an inch and a half apart in the
rows. Beauties require more room, as
they are very impatient of crowding.

The heel of the cuttings should be at
a uniform depth in the sand, and as the
center of the sand will be of a more uni-

ThcWeckly Florists' Review.

It

form condition both as regards tempera-
ture and moisture, the heel of the cut-
tings should be placed at about half the
depth of the sand. With other condi-
tions right, all. the cuttings will form
roots in about the same period of time.

Selecting the Cuttings.

The care and skill bestowed on the
proper selection of wood for propagating
are among the fundamental elements of
success. A thorough knowledge of what
is best, with care and patience in select-
ing, being really essential, this duty
should never be entrusted to any but the
most experienced and painstaking help.

We frequently see whole batches of
cuttings taken indiscriminately, includ-
ing strong, pithy flower stems and small,
blind wood. These make a very unsightly
bench, and while they will form roots,
they fail to make good, thrifty plants,
and the grower who uses such is courting
failure.

Immediately after being cut, the wood
should be immersed in water to prevent
wilting, as the least wilt proves almost
fatal, for even if the cutting does form
roots, it will take longer time to do so
and consequently will lose in vitality,

RiBES.

THE MRS. FIELD ROSE.

It has been said that Peter Eeinberg,
Chicago, who led the way in the building
of the mammoth ranges for which the
great central market has renown, was
born under a lucky star, but in the mat-
ter of the Mrs. Marshall Field rose some
little foresight and skill were coupled
with good fortune. The rose has been
on the place for several years, but has
only now come into its own.

Several years ago the search for nov-
elty led to the importation of four new
sorts from England. Among these, two
were red, one was white and one was
yellow. The whole lot proved worthless,
but among the plants one diminutive
specimen produced a flower of fine form
and substance and of a delightful pink.
This plant was saved and gave three
cuttings for the next year, when the
flower again proved excellent, although
the growth was as poor as could be
imagined. The result was that the fol-
lowing season plants were grafted on
Manetti. With this foundation they
thrived splendidly and gave good stems
and fine flowers in abundance. The fol-
lowing year quite a stock was worked up
and the blooms exhibited at the first
Coliseum flower show in Chicago under
the name of Mrs. Marshall Field, who
was just then occupying a particularly
bright spot in the public eye. The choice
of name proved an inspiration from a
business point of view, for that season
and the following one the limited stock
made it impossible to supply the demand
for the cut flowers.

This year Mr. Eeinberg has six and a
half houses of the Field rose. That this
means something may be better realized
o« oc** IS stated that the houses are each
-6x265. It proves without doubt his
confidence in the variety, for no man
would venture planting practically 50,000
feet of glass with a speculation.

much of a showing of color, but one
seldom sees a heavier crop in a rose
house than was on at the time the photo-
graph was taken. The remaining space
in the range, two and one-half houses, is
planted to Killarney and Kate Moulton
and neither compares with Mrs. Field as
a producer. At Mr. Eeinberg 's city
store they say they sold over $100 a
day of Mrs. Field through August, and
through September the sales were over
$200 a day. Mr. Eeinberg and Mr.
Spencer were disposed to send out young
stock of the variety to the trade in the
spring of 1908, but Mr. Kill thinks the
rose is such a good thing from a cut
flower standpoint that they will retain it
at least another year for their own use.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

A June Exhibition.

An invitation to hold a June show in
connection with the Horticultural Society
of New York, at Bronx park, New York,
in June, 1908, was accepted by the ex-
ecutive committee of the Amcrica,n Eose
Society at its meeting at New York No-
vember 25. Various prizes of value will
be offered, including the society 's medals.
This is a popular show which it is esti-
mated thousands of people will visit daily
and is a part of the usefulness of the so-
ciety planned from the beginning.

The March Exhibition.

August Poehlmann, of Chicago, wrote
that the people in the west mean to do

their part to make the annual exhibition
one which would leave a name behind it as
.to what Chicago can do. It was resolved
to issue the schedule of prizes without de-
lay. The cash premiums at present reach
$700. There are two prizes amounting to
$300 in cash, from Philip Breitmeyer and
A. T. Boddington, for outdoor roses.
There is $25 for the best twenty-five
blooms of La Detroit ; $25 for the largest
and most varied collections of cut roses
of all classes, only one bloom in a vase,
variety to count sixtv-five points, from
W. A. Manda. The E. G. Hill Co. offers
$50 ; Alexander Montgomery donates a
silver cup for the best fifty blooms of any
variety of American origin, and four
other cups are also promised.

The new life membership certificates
were authorized to be issued, also certifi-
cates of merit for the roses exhibited in
Washington, which were as follows: F. H.
Kramer, Washington, D. C, for Queen
Beatrice; Myers & Samtman, Wvndmoor.
Pa., for Wyndmoor; E. G. Hill Co., Rich-
mond, Ind., for Ehea Eeid. and M. H.
Walsh, Woods Hole, Mass., for Paradise,
La Fima, Delight and Juniata.

The following topics have boon named
to be presented to the Chicago conven-
tion: "Practical Eose Growing in the
Middle West," "The Raising of New
Eoses," "What Is the Proper Size of
a Greenhouse to Grow Eoses for Commer-
cial Purposes?" "Twelve Best Garden
Eoses," "Eoses in the Far West,"
"Forcing Roses in Pots for Easter,"
"Eoses from the Retailer's Standpoint."

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Decbmbkr 5, 1907.

THE RURAL FLORIST.

The acoonipanying illustration shows
the estaltlishiiKiit of one of the most
fortunate of ineu. It is typical of the
many places of moderate size in the hun-
dreds of small cities through the land.
Belviderp, in northern Illinois, is large
enough to provide a good business for
a progressive florist and it is small
enough so that endeavor may be l3ss
strenuous than where crowds gather and
costs are higher; where there is more

time for the amenities of life and the
pleasures of doing business among those
who are one's personal friends. This is
the establishment of Bert R. Lucas and
the picture shows his home, his barn,
his poultry sheds, for he handles poultry
extensively as a sidj line, his boiler-shed
and packing-room and the end of his
greenhouses. In the foreground there is
his plantation of summer cut flowers. It
is a site any man might feel satisfied to
call his own.

Geraniums.

It seems a long time ahead before
there will be any sales of bedding gera-
niums, but if you want plants which
will do yo)i credit and please your cus-
tomers, you cannot afford to neglect
them even now. Far ^oo often they
are crowded together in some out-of-the-
way plape to jaiake room for what are,
at the time, considered more important
plants. Even if this has been done, it
is not yet too late to remedy it. Your
chrysanthemums will be on their last legs,
so to speak, and you can afford to space
out your little geraniums somewhat. Let
them have all possible sun, but do not
overwater them. They are much better
kept on the dry side for the next two
months. Pick off any decaying leaves
and keep water off the foliage now as
much as possible. Water only on bright
days, so that any moisture nmy dry up
iKifore nightfall.

Quite a number of florists are begin-
ning to appreciate the value of a few
nice pots of geraniums for winter bloom-
ing. They are particularly serviceable
at Christmas, especially the scarlet and
crimson varieties. The semi-doubles and
doubles are usually grown, and while they
stand shipping better than the singles,
they are much less beautiful. S. A.
Nutt, Alphonse Ricard, John Doyle, Gen-
eral Grant and Ville de Poitiers are
fine doubles for the holiday season, while
among singles, Jacquerie, Paul Crampbel,
Richmond Beauty, Cannelrs Crimson
Bedder, Telegraph and Mrs. E. Rawson
are among the best. A rather dry at-
mosphere and a night temperature of 50
to 55 degrees suits these geraniums to
a nicety. Feed the plants with light sur-
facings of some good chemical fertilizer,
in preference to liquid manures, which
tend to promote too rank growth at the
expense of the flower.

Show Pelargoniums.

These showy spring flowering plants
require a cooler house in winter than the
geraniums; 40 to 45 degrees at night is
better than 50 degrees. It is unwise to
promote too rapid a growth now. It
should be the grower's aim to keep
them stocky. This cannot be done in
a warm house. Do not allow any of them
to become potbound before overhauling
them. Pinch the tops out of any shoots
which seem likely to take the lead. Keep
a sharp lookout for green aphis, which
has a marked partiality for these plants.

If you make a plan of fumigating once
a week and adhere to it strictly, you
will have no trouble.

Calceolarias.

A temperature such as has been recom-
mended for the show pelargoniums will
be all right for calceolarias. They can-
not tolerate anything in the nature of
coddling. -We never saw finer plants
than were grown in a cold, clammy feel-
ing house, which gave one the shivers on
entering it. The temperature varied
from 36 to 45 degrees in winter, but
the calceolarias simply reveled in it, as
the big plants in 10-inch and 12-inch
pots, clothed \\ith dark green, luxuriant
foliage, testified. We cannot all imitate
these conditions, but we (!an at least re-
member that a cool, moist house is to
tlie liking of these plants and in such a
structure aphis will trouble compara-
tively little. If some tobacco stems
are scattered around once in two weeks,
they will scarcely obtain a foothold at all.

In potting along calceolarias, use some
well dried and decayed cow manure, as
well as a dash of soot and l)one dust.

are the best of the compost, also giving
it the needed porosity.

Genistas.

As a rule, these attractive yellow
j)lants sell best in the ekrly spring, being
specially in demand for Easter. They
do not require at any time anything
like forcing, being injured by it. A
temi^erature just clear of freezing will
suit them just now. If an early batch
is needed, introduce a few plants into
a house kept at 45 to 48 degrees at night.
Spray well once a week to prevent red
spider getting any foothold. If you
want to increase your stock, and have
not yet put in any cuttings, do so now.
A bench which roots carnations satisfac-
torily will be just the place for the
genistas. These cuttings should be pot-
ted off as soon as rooted, and will make
very • nice, bushy stock for sales a year
hence.

Camellias.

A somewhat better demand now exists
for these plants. They will never again
attain the proud precedence they held
before the rose displaced them as a cut
flower, but a few bushy plants make
an attractive window decoration and
usually sell well. Let your plants have
a temperature of 50 degrees at night
and spray on bright days, until the
flowers start to open. The only time
camellias will tolerate a little forcing
is after the blooming period, when mak-
ing their growths.

Ericas.

The heaths are very acceptable Christ-
mas plants. The most popular and easily
grown kind is Erica melanthera, which,
when neatly trimmed with ribbons, makes
an ideal holiday plant for retailers. E.
gracilis and E. hyemalis are both good,
but do not seem to succeed so well in
America as the other variety. Do not
try to force your plants into bloom.
They will not stand it. If you cannot
get them in for Christmas, they may
be kept until Easter if required. They
may be had in bloom over a long period
and the flowers last surprisingly well.

Establishment of Bert Lyons, Belvidere, lU.

A rather lumpy compost suits them
better than a mixture which has been
passed through a screen. Some growers
make too frequent use of the screen.
It may be all right for soil for seed
sowing, or for young plants just potted
off, but it should be tabooed for later
pottings. The turfy lumps are just what
the plants need and, furthermore, they

Be particularly careful not to allow
ericas to become dried out at the root.
One thorough drying will often kill a
plant. While a dryness at the root may
not seriously hurt a geranium or mar-
guerite, it may mean death to a hard-
wooded plant, especially if it has the
pot filled with the fine, hair-like roots
peculiar to the bulk of these plants.

Hydrangeas.

Your old plants will now be stored
in some cellar, pit or cold house for the
winter. Keep on the dry side and look
over them once a week and shake off the
decaying leaves. Give all air possible
in favorable weather. A light freezing
will not hurt them. If an early batch
of plants is wanted, some can be started
now. Pick away some of the old sur-
face soil in their pots, and give them
a liberal top dressing. Do not start in
a very warm house. Fifty-four degrees
at night is better than 60 degrees. You
can give a higher temperature after the
plants have fairly started.

Brief Reminders.

Poinsettias with bracts well developed
should be moved to a cooler house; 50
to 52 degrees at night will suffice if they
are carefully watered.

Move the lilies around which are being
timed for Christmas. Put early ones in
a cooler house and force those that are
backward. As lilies sell fairly well after
Christmas, do not attempt to force those
on which the buds are not well advanced.

Keep decaying foliage and any show-
ing spot picked off the violets. Let them
have an abundance of ventilation and
no more fire heat than is necessary.

Pot up clumps of spiraea (astilbe),
which are now coming to hand. First
soak them, if dry, and lay the clumps
where they can have a little frost.

Cover spaces with leaves or straw out-
doors where hardy lilies are to be plant-
ed which are aot yet to hand. These
give far better results planted in De-
cember than in spring.

THE DEATH ROLL.

P. J. Hauswirth.

Gonial, lovable, loyal Phil Hauswirth
is gone. He shot himself in the stom-
ach while in a period of despondency
about 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, De-
cember 4, and died before his son, Ed-
win, who was just coming in to open the
store in the Auditorium Annex, Chicago,
could reach his father in the basement
workroom. The inquest, held the after-
noon of his death, failed to bring out
any fact sufficient to account for his
mental depression, for no man in the
trade had more friends. Generous to a
fault and indefatigable whenever a
friend's interests could be served, he
might have 4iad any service in return.

And in his loss the craft loses one of
its most wilUng workers for the general
good. His time and talents always were
at command whenever any organized un-
dertaking was afoot, and he was as act-
ive in the affairs of the Bed Men and
the Elks as he was in matters of the
S. A. F., the flower shows or the Chi-
cago Florists' Club. The S. A. F. turned
to him at Dayton as the ideal man to
fill the secretaryship, made vacant by
the advancement of W. J. Stewart to
the presidency after twenty years of
service, and so well did he perform his
duties that he was unanimously re-
elected at Philadelphia. Mr. Hauswirth
also had served twice as the president of
the Chicago Florists' Club and was a
member of the Rose, Carnation and
(chrysanthemum Societies.

The funeral will be held Friday, De-
cember 6, at 1 p. m., from the family
residence, 144 Clyboum avenue, and at
1- p. m at the chapel at Bosehill ceme-
tery. The services at the house will be

P. J. Hauswirth.

for the family and those at the chapel
for friends. Florists will serve as pall-
bearers, the Elks will have charge at
the chapel and the Red Men at the
grave.

Mr. Hauswirth was born in Germany,
December 18, 1861. While a boy he came
to Chicago with an aunt, who, in 1871,
married Charles Reisig, who was ene of
the pioneers in the trade. In the school
vacation of 1873 the boy worked in the
Reisig greenhouses on West Sixteenth
street and may fairly be said to have
been identified with the trade since that
time. In the autumn of the next year he
went into the store as errand boy. He
continued with Mr. Reisig almost con-
tinuously for eighteen years. They had
stores at 88 and 66 Washington street,
at 175 Wabash, on State street, and
again on Washington street, where the
Marshall Field annex now stands, at
various times during that period. Joe
Curran, who is a few years older than
Mr. Hauswirth, was also a protege of
Mr. Reisig, ani in the store duriag that
time. At the time the Auditorium was
completed it was far south of the center
of trade, but Mr. Reisig moved there,
occupying a part of the drug store on
the Wabash avenue side. This was not
at first profitable, and in July, 1892,
Mr. Reisig, being well along in years,
turned his business over to Mr. Haus-
wirth, dying within the year. Mr. Haus-
wirth later moved into a store on the
Michigan avenue side of the Auditorium
Annex, and only a few months ago
moved again to a new store in the latest
addition to the Annex, where he had one
of the best stands in Chicago.

In 1882 Mr. Hauswirth married Marie
C. Collnot. They have two children and
two grandchildren. Mrs. Hauswirth has
spent part of her time in the store and
has been her husband's constant com-
panion on convention and other trips, so

tliat she is widely known in the trade.
The whole trade shares in her bereave-
ment.

John Rinsfier.

Stumpp & Walter Co., New York, re-
port the death of John Ringier at
Seurch Home, in Switzerland, November
15. He had two brothers in the United
States, both in Chicago — Arnold Ringier,
secretary of the W. W. Barnard Co., and
Max Ringier, of the Kennicott Bros. Co.

George Edward Davenport.

George Edward Davenport, a noted
botanist and scholar, who had won a
national reputation as a specialist in
the ferns of North America, and who
formerly possessed one of the finest col-
lections of these plants in America, died
suddenly November 29, while strolling
through the picturesque Middlesex Fells,
which he loved so well, accompanied by
his three grandchildren. Mr. Davenport
was seized with vertigo and died before
help could be summoned. One of the
children stayed by the body while the
others ran for help.

As a young man, the deceased was a
groat friend of Wendell Phillips and
William Lloyd Garrison. After mar-
riage he confined himself to botanical
work, and for many years classified new
and rare plants for Harvard and Yale
colleges and the Smithsoniam Institution,
at Washington. He lived in Medford,
Mass., since 1875, was a member of the
school board for eighteen years, and held
other offices.

Mr. Davenport's figure was well known
at Horticultural hall, Boston. He fre-
quently exhibited collections of ferns
and other native plants, and hr.d served
on the library and other important coni-
niittees. He had been a life member of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
for many years.

•THE ANNUAL

CHRISTMAS NUMBER

will be Issued
DECEMBER 12, 1907.

" S

Don't Forget:—

advertising copy must reach Chicago by
Wednesday morning, December 11, to
be in time, and earlier will be better.

Some desirable advertisements usually
are received the morning after going to
press with a Special Edition. Send to-
day. Don't get left.

And now Christmas is less than three
weeks away.

Foe those who can use them, there are
some fine bargains in bulbs offered in
current issues of the Review.

Manetti stocks are due to arrive in
the next few days. Time to plan your
grafting operations for 1908 planting.

The laying off of unskilled labor by
the big corporations, perhaps this sea-
son a little earlier than in other winters,
has brought its usual number of seek-
ers after work in greenhouses among
those who were called away by the bet-
ter wages and change of scene incidental
to other occupations.

The market for bouquet green at
Chicago has weakened, but is expected
to stiffen as soon as the season opens
in earnest. Demand has been light in
the last few days. Buyers inquiring for
strictly fancy holly find it difficult to
place orders. The indications are that
well-berried holly will be decidedly
scarce.

If uo Ijetter place is available, aucnbas
will winter fairly well in a cellar where
there are windows to admit reasonable
light. Box in tubs or pots will also keep
in good condition under like circum-
stances. Much water will not be needed
through the winter for either aucubas or
box, but it will not do to let them get
dust dry, especially large specimen box
cramped for room in their pots or tubs.
Bay trees should not be allowed to get
bone dry at their roots when stored away
for the winter, and when they are wa-
tered they should get it in such quantity
that all the roots will get wet.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.

The Packer, recording the doings of
the fruit and vegetable commission men
throughout the country, takes a one-sided
and inaccurate view when it says:

"Since the selling and manufacture of
holiday decorations has been placed on a
commercial basis the florist has almost
become a nonentity in the trade." But
there is some truth in its further state-
ment, probably not intended to apply to
bouquet green, that "whereas goods
were formerly sold at high prices, the
active competition as now extant among
Chicago commission men has resulted in
bringing sales down to a small margin of
profit. A reduction of from seventy-five
to eighty per cent is manifest since the
retail florists were ousted from this par-
ticular line.

"Chicago supplies a big part of the
holiday trade from Maine to California,
and as far north as Winnipeg, Canada.
This business, yet in its infancy, is grow-
ing almost beyond the hopes of its South
Water street originators,"

THANKSGIVING TRADE.

Almost without exception there is re-
port of satisfactory trade for Thanks-
giving. Not all cities report an increase
in sales, as compared with recent years,
but practically every reporter says busi-
ness was rather ahead of expectations
than below them. Supplies were large
throughout the country and prices did
not average as good as a year ago. The
trade, as a whole, feels greatly encour-
aged with* the Thanksgiving business,
and regards it as an assurance of a
splendid demand for Christmas.

OH I HAPPY FARMER.

"No general crop failure afflicts the
farmer this year, not even within small
areas. The production of the farms, all
things considered, is well up to the av-
erage of the previous five years in quan-
tity, while its value to the farmer, as
now appears at this annual day of reck-
oning, reaches a figure much above that
of 1906, which by far exceeded any
previous year's wealth production on
farms," says that greatest of optimists,
James Wilson, in his eleventh annual re-
port as Secretary of Agriculture. "Out
of the farming operations of 1907 the
railroads will get an average haul of
freight, and foreign countries will take
a heavy excess above home consumption.
The farmer will have more to spend and
more to invest than he ever before had
out of his year's work. He reckons his
income in ten figures, and he is still im-
proving his farm, buying bonds, lending
to his neighbors and putting bis money
into the vaults of banks.

"The grand total of the value of the
crops for 1907 is $7,412,000,000. This
is $657,000,000 above the value of 1906,
$1,103,000,000 above that of 1905,
$1,253,000,000 above that of 1904,
$1,495,000,000 above that of 1903,
and $2,695,000,000 above the census
amount for 1899.

"A simple series of index numbers
shows the progressive wealth production
by the farmer. The value of the prod-
ucts in *1899 being taken at 100, the
value for 1903 stands at 125, for 1904
at 131, for 1905 at 134, for 1906 at
143, and for 1907 at 157.

"The miner cannot restore the min-
eral to the mine. With the farmer it is
different. The primal forces and atoms
of the universe are his. The sun shines
and the rain falls and the farmer applies
hia art and science to inexhaustible re-
sources, ever adding enormously to the
country's wealth, capital, credit and wel-
fare."

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

December came in with temperatures
considerably below the normal and the
opening of the present week found sup-
plies somewhat reduced thereby, but
there is in market an edequate quantity
of everything to take care of all the
business there is doing. Local demand
is not active, but those houses which
cater specially to the shipping trade
are not complaining. Prices are fair and
the volume of sales is fairly satisfactory.

Roses continue the most abundant item,
and several large producers are coming
in with crops of Beauty, so that the
Beauty market is much easier. For sev-
eral weeks it has been difficult to fill
all orders for Beauties.

Carnations have not yet caught up
with the season; they have been back-
ward ever since housing. "While there are
plenty of carnations in the market, not
all are up to standard and there is a
great difference in reports as to demand;
the lower grades are not wanted.

The cold weather appears to have
struck the Hudson river violet growers,
for receipts are lighter and this week
started with a stronger market than at

any time this year. The wholesalers all
are hoping it will continue, for the
violet growers have had the worst of it
thus far this season.

With some wholesalers, chrysanthe-
mums are pretty well at an end, but
others have considerable quantities to
market. Out-of-town buyers may not be
able to get what they want on telegrams
late in the day, but if they will send
orders early, mums can be supplied for
some weeks. Lilies are more abundant
and lower in price. Stevia is every-
where, and fine, Romans and Paper
Whites move slowly. All green stock
is abundant.

Thanksgiving.

There are varying reports as to how
Thanksgiving turned out, but on one
point all are agreed : The growers played
the ^same old trick. With wonderful
unanimity they held up Monday's ship-
ments, with the result that on that day
every order went out billed at the limit
price and it was impossible to buy a
carnation ; many orders were cut severely.
Tuesday there was enough to go around,
with some exceptions, for there are
always special circumstances which pre-
vent any statement applying without
exception. Wednesday the market had
more stock than it could use, and local

demand was not sufficient to clean up the
supply carried over to Thanksgiving
morning.

It seems that the demand for stock was
somewhat better than a year ago, and .
had supplies been evenly divided be-
tween Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, everyone would have been in posi-
tion to enjoy his turkey. Those whole-
salers who did not increase their sales
for the three days, lay it to the fact that
they did not have as large supplies as a
year ago. For instance, one house lays
a decrease to an absence of a crop of
Beauties; another had a good crop of
carnations last year and a light crop this
year.

On the whole, the average prices were
lower than a year ago and the grower
who did not produce more stock certainly
got less money than last Thanksgiving.
The market had the stock for a fine in-
crease had the receipts been a Uttle
more evenly divided and conditions a
little more favorable.

The three days following Thanksgiv-
ing also give a variety of report: Some
houses say they were active, others only
fair, while one or two report them dull.

A. L. RANDALL CO., 19-21 RANDOLPH ST., CHICAGO, ILL.

Mention The Review when you write.

ing fnd of George Reinberg's business,
has been sizing up the prospect for
Christmas. As he looks over the market,
it appears to him that there will be a
good supply of almost everything. Rose
crops may not be at the full, but Beau-
ties will be on, and so will carnations.
Mr. Foerster says the prospect pleases
him, because a good supply means mod-
erate prices, but at the same time returns
more money to the growers than would
a small supply at higher prices. At
the same time the buyer has a better
chance to please his customer and can
do a bigger and better business.

E. E. rieser, of the Kennicott Brofe^
Co., subscribes to the prediction of good
supplies of carnations for Christmas.

November Weather.

The mean temperature for November
was 2 degrees higher than normal, ac-
cording to the averages of the Weather
Bureau, and the rainfall was six-tenths
of an inch less than normal. There were
twelve clear days, ten partly cloudy
and eight on which the sun did not shine.
The wind movement, which affects green-
house heating, was less than usual, 10,-
520 miles.

Various Notes.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. looks forward
to a big Christmas, with a fine crop
of Beauties and heavy supplies of carna-
tions. They have booked an order for
mums for New Year's.

E. C. Amling points to bouvardia as
an evidence that a steady and adequate
supply is necessary before a satisfactory
business can be done. He can supply
bonvardia on advance orders, but says
he could g»t more money for it, as well

as doing more business, if he had it
regularly in quantity to supply at a
moment's notice.

Vaughan & Sperry handled 40,000
violets the day before Thanksgiving,
which of itself made a good day's sale.

Bassett & Washburn say they have had
an especially good season on chrysanthe-
mums, and are well satisfied. It is a
report to which not all chrysanthemum
growers can subscribe this season.

Leonard Kill says that if the mar-
ket is at all favorable, Peter Reinberg
will make a new record this month.
He says they will have a greater sup-
ply the next four weeks than in any
period in their history.

In the Flower Growers* Market, Mrs.
Beu flays they will be cutting chrysan-
themums for Christmas and M. Evert will
do even better, for a lot of Nonin are
only jnst showing bud.

C. W. McKellar says that since
Thanksgiving there has been an excellent
call for gardenias and cattleyas. He
has just opened a stock of immortelles,
cape flowers and other Christmas goods.

Wietor Bros, still grow White Cloud
as their principal white and, the way
they do it, it leaves little to be desired.

C. L. Washburn is trying to beat Job 's
record, with boils, and his patience, also,
is entitled to special mention.

F. F. Ben they says the Benthey-Coats-
worth Co. has every reason to be satis-
fied with tlic business of the last two
weeks.

John Kruchten is doing quite a busi-
ness with boxwood, ferns and other
greens. His location is excellent for
this trade.

John Zech, of Zech & Mann, says

Thanksgiving was even a little better
than he expected.

E. H. Hunt has taken the exclusive
selling agency for Louis Wittbold's
patented articles, including the water-
ing system and the cement bench de-
vice.

It is reported that O. Johnson and
some associates have purchased a piece
of property at Wilmette and will erect
greenhouses in the spring.

The E. F. Winterson Co. is handling
some especially fine Chadwicks this week.
In the supply department, they have
just opened a big stock of bells, statice
and immortelle wreaths, etc. Winding
green will uegin in a few days.

The A. L. Randall Co. has called its
traveling men home to help get out the
orders in the supply department, during
the holiday rush.

E. Fransen, of Scheiden & Schoos, says
they still are receiving orders for field -
grown carnation plants, one inquiry, De-
cember 4, being for 16,000.

Weiland & Risch again are cutting
heavily of Killarney.

Percy Jones^ denies that there has been

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Thanksgiving business in this city was
not so good as in previous years. From
reports, out in the west end they did
much better than downtown, while the
north end, as reported, did better than
down south. From general reports we
can safely say that Thanksgiving trade
was not up to any of the previous years.
In fact, tlie business for the whole of
last week can be called duU in all lines,
including social and funeral work.

The wholesalers were not short. No-
vember 25 and 26, however, the market
was shy of good stock, with quite a
demand. Wednesday, November 27, there
was plenty of stock shipped in, with
few buyers. Had the shippers sent this
stock in Monday and Tuesday all could
have been sold, but they held it over
and plenty of it was left unsold. The
trade will not stand for pickled stock.
There is also too much of the cheap
grade of stock, which has a bad effect
on the market and the retail trade. If
this stock could be kept out of the
market, the shipper and the retailer
would obtain better prices.

Chrysanthemums are about over. This
should have a good effect on roses and

carnations. The prices on these will
go up this month. Boses are still ar-
riving in large lots, in all grades. Bride
and Maid are most plentiful. Of Bich-
mond and Eillamey, there are enough.
American Beauties are not overplentiful.
Carnations last week had a good call,
but the market was heavily stocked with
good quality.

Violets started in at $1 per hundred,
but dropped to 75 cents for the best,
with not any too many. Longiflorums are
in plenty; so are Paper Whites. Callas
are selling slowly. Bomans are not in
yet. A few good sweet peas are in.
There is plenty of everything in greens.

Various Notes.

W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, was in
every day last week, attending the chick-
en show. His stock took a number of
first prizes. Mr. Pilcher has his new
Kroeschell boiler in working order and
is sending in a fine lot of violets and
carnations to the market.

Roses are fine, especially Killarnoy, which is now in full crop. Carnations are

flowers and exceptionally fine. Prices have dropped quite a little since Thanksgiving.

NEVYORK.

The Market.

The Thanksgiving business did not
occasion abnormal prices, but there was
a little pickling. The old menace will not
down. There are a few growers still
alive who will pickle though the heavens
fall. Some daj these will be in a pickle
themselves and let us hope their descend-
ants may be few.

Most of the stock sent in for Thanks-
giving was superb. Beauties, a few of
them, touched 40 cents; 30 cents and 35
cents were the general prices. This week
Monday, they had retrograded to 25
cents and 30 cents. The tendency, how-
ever, will be upward until Christmas.
Maid and Bride advanced to 8 cents for
the best; a few to 10 cents. This week
opsns with the best at 8 cents, and this
probably will be top for a while. This
price also applies to Chatenay and Kil-
lamey. Fine Richmond have sold at
12 cents. With fine weather, receipts
will increase and these figures may not
hold.

Carnations are coming to their own
again; 4 cents was the asking price and
good stock commanded this figure easily.
The variety is now complete and Long
Island and other districts are producing
grand stock. It cannot be excelled
Every new and valuable variety is here
Never were prices so reasonable when
ment is considered. There will be no
break for the balance of the year.

There will be an abundance of chrysan-
themums for Christmas. Common goods
have ceased to arrive. All the stock now
arriving brings good prices, with a ris-

ing tendency. From 4 cents to 15 cents
is a fair quotation. The best will be
higher before the week is over.

Orchids are not overabundant and
prices are steady. The out-of-town de-
mand is growing. McManus says he al-
ready has booked many orders for
Christmas.

Violets did not fare very well last
week. A few specials touched $1 for
the holiday. These are down to 75
cents now. There is no limit to the
supply. Quality is at top notch, but
they have been cheapened by sidewalk
abundance and relegated by society to
humbler service by the triumph of the
gardenia and orchid.

The market sees an abundance of
stevia, mignonette and sweet peas.
Lilies and valley are abundant.

Variota Notes.

Holly sold fairly well for Thanks-
giving, but little of it arrived and good
berried stock was not in evidence, nor
will it be this season. The reports from
the south are far from encouraging. No
guarantee of first-class stock is author-
ized. Lack of berries is general and
$5 a case will be the minimum price
for anything worth having. Stumpp &
Walter Co. and other expert handlers
declare that never before has the out-
look been so discouraging for first-class
holly.

Every industry in our line is up and
doing for the Christmas holiday. Cheer-
fulness again reigns; the people have
about decided the end of the world is still
a long way off. The plantsmen are
disposing of their products rapidly. Soon
they will have a central depot in the

wholesale district, where samples of their
goods will be always on exhibition.
Bumor credits them with having secured
the immense ground floor of the big
building of the Volunteers of America,
on west Twenty-eighth street, close to
Young & Nugent 's and across the street
from Walter Sheridan's. Amid so many
good influences the venture should be a
great success.

A. Herrington and W. Duckham, of
Madison, were in the city December 2
and reported a 3-inch fall of snow in
the country. They will attend the meet-
ing of the executive committee of the
Chrysanthemum Society at Philadelphia
on Friday of this week.

Next Monday evening, December 9,
the New York Florists' Club will meet
at the new rooms, Thirty-fourth street
and Third avenue. There will doubtless
be a large attendance. No one whose
dues are not paid to the end of the year
is eligible for the annual election or
authorized to vote. With the exhibits
and music, the evening should prove a
memorable one.

The Dayton Cash Register Co. contin-
ues its model florists' store on Broad-
way. The decorating is done by M. A.
Bowe, so the good rule of publicity is
working both ways.

Mr. Stumpp and wife have returned
from their southern trip, after a most
enjoyable visit and tour through the
southern states and Mexico.

B. J. Slinn, Jr., is receiving large
quantities of the fine single violet, Gov-
ernor Herrick, daily, that find a ready
demand at 75 cents per hundred.

Thanksgiving Trade.

Reports from both wholesalers and
retailers indicate that while there was,
everything being considered, a good
flower market for Thanksgiving, it did
not nearly approximate that of a year
ago. The wholesalers sold out much
better than the retailers, some of the
latter having a good deal of stock left
on hand. Prices averaged lower all
around than a year ago. In roses, the
top price on Beauties was $4 a dozen;
best quality Brides and Maids brought
$8 to $10, few selling higher. A good
many cleared at $4 to $5, the short stems
making $1, There were not many Rich-
mond, but some nice Wellesley, Killarney
and Chatenay arrived. Prices on these
did not advance much. Carnations were
in heavy supply and sold at a wide
range in prices. A few extra fancies
made $5, but as a rule $4 was the top
price on scarlets, crimsons and the En-
chantress varieties. The ruling price
on good stock was $2.50 to $3 per hun-
dred in large lots, a few selling lower.

Violets were of fine quality. A f#w
made $1, but more sold at from 60
cents to 75 cents per hundred. Lily
of the valley varied from $1 to $4 per
hundred, according to quality, more ar-
riving than the market called for. East-
er lilies and callas made $2 per dozen,
but were not abundant. Chrysanthe-
mums varied all the way from $4 to $20
per hundred, the higher prices being for
best quality Eaton, Maud Dean and
Nonin. The top figures reached were
$4 per dozen. Some good bouvardia,
mignonette and snapdragon were seen.
Paper Whites were plentiful, but sold
well. Green stock was in moderate re-
quest.

The wholesalers attribute lower prices
in some part to the action of selling
agents, who telephoned buyers in other
cities, oflfcring to sell them flowers at

certain figures, thus preventing much
rise in prices. Although prices were
lower all around, flowers cleared out
pretty well and business was fully as
good as could have been expected.

The market has remained fairly good
since Thanksgiving. Roses are a trifle
slow, but carnations are holding up well.
Very ordinary flowers made $3 per hun-
dred November 30. Violets are also
clearing moderately well. Quite a few
mums are still arriving, but some have
a decidedly ancient and pickled ap-
pearance. Prices on these keep fairly
firm. Quite a little stevia, Paper White
narcissi and Roman hyacinths are com-
ing in. Cypripedium insigne is now be-
eoming quite plentiful. There is no spec-
ial social activity to stimulate trade,
and conditions will probably remain dull
until Christmas.

Various Notes.

including some fine Golden Dome. This
variety, by the way, grows tall and has
too much of a neck to suit commercial
growers.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

Thanksgiving was truly named, both
from a religious and a business stand-
point, for the advent of the holiday
marked a complete change in the situa-
tion in the market.

The volume of business done at
Thanksgiving was fully equal to that of
any previous year, but it took a great
many more flowers to do as much busi-
ness, prices being in many cases far be-
low previous seasons.

The demand, which started so briskly
for Thanksgiving, continued on Friday
and Saturday, owing to the Army and
Navy football game, and the large num-
ber of visitors brought into the city
thereby. This week there is enough go-
ing on in the social world in this and
other cities to keep up a fair degree of
activity and to maintain, and, in some
eases, increase prices.

Going over the list, it may be said
that violets were in exceptionally heavy
demand. All really well-grown stock,
whether from Hightatown or up the Hnd-
sor, sold at good figures, wliile even the
poorer stock brought fair returns. Some
fine single viotols were more eagerly
sought than the doubles. Chrysanthe-

mums, especially those of high grade,
sold wonderfully well, $4 and $5 per
dozen being obtained for some choice
flowers of Golden Chadwick, while other
good sorts brought $3 easily. By far
the larger portion of the fancy stock did
not realize so much, and $1.50 to $2
was a popular price for Jones and Bon-
naffon. Pompons, especially those of
poorer grade, were far too numerous, the
good stock selling well, but the others
hanging fire. There were some singles
seen, and they have warm friends, but
there are not enough of them to fairly
test their appreciation in the market.

The feature of the rose market was
the supply of American Beauties, the
quality being fine. The demand was
fully equal to that of previous seasons,
but, in face of the enormous supply,
prices ruled lower than for any previous
year, and for the first week in Decem-
ber the average price on specials is just
half that of the corresponding period
last year, which was, of course, unusual-
ly high. Bichmond was in active de-
mand, many buyers preferring this rose
to Beauty. In fact, the wholesalers
were puzzled by the varying conditions
that confronted them. Bride, Brides-
maid and Killamey were in fair demand,
good stock moving well at moderate
prices. The poor stock is diflBcult to
market.

Carnations advanced in price, fancy
flowers of Enchantress, Beacon, and a
few other leading sorts, bringing even
more than listed quotations. The aver-
age stock was in demand, there being
little waste. Valley has sold rather
poorly, the supply exceeding the de-
mand.

Poinsettias made their appearance
and with them stevia. Both are of ex-
cellent quality and will be important
until the end of the year. Cattleyas are
rather scarce, with indications that prices
will advance. Cypripediums are plenti-
ful. Bomans and Paper Whites are
abundant, with only a moderate demand.
Gardenias of excellent quality are in
fair supply. The feature of the green
market is the immense demand for
bronze galax leaves, which were sold in
large numbers during the last few days,
praetieally every case reaching this mar-
kst beiag promptly sent out.

'With an Insider.

The street iias always asserted that
Frank S. Jackson was an insider. When
you ask, "What is an insider!" they
tell you that an insider is one who has
a "pull," and on further inquiry you
are told that it does not much matter
what an insider grows, he has a "pull"
and can sell at good prices anyway.
When describing Mr. Jackson's pull the
street says that when he happens to be
long of any plants or flowers, all he
has to do is to take down his telephone
and pretend to speak crossly to Henry
Bauer or to Frank Gaul and they will
at once order all that he wishes them to.
Mr. Jackson asserts that this is not so;
that he has no pull, and that his stock
is sold strictly on its merits. And Mr.
Jackson 's word is one that can be relied
upon. Probably the whole truth is that,
all other things being equal, Mr. Bauer
or Mr. Gaul would prefer buying his
stock to that of anyone else, because
Mr. Jackson's cultural skill enables him
to produce stock that is superior to that
of other growers.

It so happened that a friend and
Phil went "a Sabbath day's journey"
one bright Sunday to call on an attrac-
tive young man. It further transpired
that the attractive young man was at
church, and the greenhouses presided,
over by Mr. Jackson being hard by, a
call there was a natural sequence.

Frank S. Jackson grows Adiantum
Parleyense as few others can grow it,
the plants in all sizes being the pictures
of health and symmetry. This fern he
has made a specialty for some years and
has developed an excellent demand for

it, both as specimen plants and for cut
fronds. A variety of other plants are
grown in smaller quantities for green,
a bench of peperomias for ferneries
being especially noteworthy.

It is in the cutflower Une that Mr.,
Jackson is now blossoming out strongly.
He believes that hybrid tea roses are
better than the pure tea, and he is pin-
ning his faith on Bichmond, which is
grown in quantity, and on Killarney.
Safrano, Isabella Sprunt and Bon Silene
are grown for buds. All are in nice
condition, the houses light, airy and neat
as wax. Indications point to good crops
this season.

The Valtie of Advertising;.

The business men of this city have
been pointing with pride to the wonder-
ful courage of John Wanamaker, who
has, during the dull period through
which we have just passed, advertised
with the same freedom and persistency
that he exhibited during the time of
most buoyant prosperity. Mr. Wana-
maker felt that whatever business was
going he wanted, and he wanted every-
body to know it.

A parallel may be found in the floral
world today in the splendid work done
in this line by Godfrey Aschmann, who,
during the six weeks of depression which
has just so happily ended, has adver-
tised with an amount of vim and fear-
lessness that would put life into the most
doubting. His advertisements have at-
tracted considerable notice from their
breezy style. Mr. Aschmann has a
catchy way of saying things about his
plants that appeals to florists all over
the country, and on the strength of his

Christmas holidays. How was this de-
mand to be mett The supply men at
once stepped into the breach by offering
an endless variety of baskets, pot covers,
ferneries, crepe paper, and what not,
generally of the cheerful Christinas color
always so popular. But this was not
enough. The leading plantsmen experi-

mented with certain plants, those they
could make fit subject? for forcing into
bloom in the short, dark days of Decem-
ber, and the color of whose blooms was
sufficiently cheerful. These experiments
proved successful, and today we have
whole places largely devoted to flowering
plants for Christtmas.

Bobert Craig was a pioneer in this in-
dustry, and the company that bears his
name has increased the number and qual-
ity of the plants flowering for Christ-
mas until it seems hard to see where
improvement will be made, as it surely
will. Their stock this year is as fine
as ever before, and in many cases finer,
and their knowledge of the demands of
the Christmas buyer enables them to pro-
duce what is wanted. A trip through
their houses showed a variety of stock
in splendid condition, carefully timed for
the holidays. There were azaleas, poin-
settias, short plants made up with aspar-
agus and Pteris Wilsoni, in pans of va-
rious sizes. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine,
both in soft pink and in the more showy
but less lasting bright pink, are a fea-
ture, and it is doubtful if they have ever
been better grown. Begonia Turnford
Hall is also here, for variety's sake,
though Mr. Craig says it is not the color
for Christmas. Cyclamens, from seed of
their own strain, are superb.

Otaheite oranges, dwarf -shaped plants,
well filled with fruit, fill a couple of
houses.

Among the foliage plants, Ficus pan-
durata stands out prominently. The
larger specimens in branched and single-
stemmed plants are magnificent, perfect
in every detail. A house of Dracaena ter-
minalis in medium sizes is richly col-

for the purpose of creating a better un-
derstanding among those who distribute
our cut flowers, and for the purpose of
inaugurating a better system of cred-
its.

Freeman & Co., auctioneers, will dis-
pose of the greenhouses and their con-

S. S. Pennoek-Meehan Co., is showing
something exceptionally choice in

well-grown chrysanthemums and foliage
plants.

President Loubet has proved a fail-
ure as a cut chrysanthemum.

R. G. Palmer, well and favorably
known throughout this city, is now with
Alfred M. Campbell.

Beech sprays of unusual length are a
specialty this season with M. Rice & Co.

All through the recent depression, so
happily ended with Thanksgiving day,
Charles E. Meehan said to the chorus of
croakers who came to him for sympa-
thy : ' ' Never mind, we '11 eat three meals

OUTDOOR FLOWERS.

I should like to grow outdoor flowers
for cutting, for shipment to the Chicago
or St. Louis wholesale markets next sum-
mer. What should I grow? I have a
small piece of ground adjoining the
greenhouses and last season grew about
one-eighth of an acre of sweet peas, but
prices were not profitable, although the
quality is good and will ship in excel-
lent condition. What could I grow to
get more money? J. J. M.

A grower located where he could ship
to either Chicago or St. Louis would nec-
essarily be at a disadvantage competing
with the growers of outdoor flowers who
are close enough to town so they can
personally deliver their stock, fresh, at
the wholesale houses each morning. As
there are enough such growers who sup-
ply either of the markets mentioned, the
prospect is not an encouraging one. The
only possibility is in producing a su-
perior grade of stock. Outdoor sweet
peas ship poorly and it seldom pays to
ship asters any distance. Fancy gladioli
usually bring fair prices, but it means
quite an investment for bulbs. R. F. D.

WATER ANALYSIS.

In the following table I give an anal-
ysis of two different samples of water.
The water marked "Mine" comes from
a soft coal shaft; the water marked
* ' Pump ' ' comes from a drilled well below
the coal vein. Which supply of vrater
would be more suitable for plants grow-
ing under glass, such as roses, carnations,
etc., or would either kind be fit for such

use? Onlna

Per U.S. Oal.
Chemical Properties — Mine. Pamp.

Both waters are faintly alkaline. There
is no free acid present, all sulphuric acid
having been neutralized with lime and

Neither sample of water, according to
the analysis, contains any injurious prin-
ciple save the common salt, and since the
one marked "Pupip" contains only a
fraction of the amount contained in the
other, everything considered, the * * Pump * *
water should be more desirable for green-

PIERSON GETS BRITISH AWARD.

F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y.,
sent an exhibit of its new fern Nephrol-
epis exaltata superbissima to the meet-
ing of the Royal Horticultural Society,
London, England, November 12, where it
gained the highest award, a first-class
certificate. It was described as follows
by an English authority:

"This is another plumose variety of
the well known nephrolepis. The fronds
are more plumose and dense than N. to-
deaoides, each frond being almost like a
cushion, several inches in depth. Some
of the pinnsB grow upwards, at right an-
gles to the rachis, thus producing the re-
markable thickness of the frond. It is a
very hard fern, and will probably be cap-
able of withstanding ill-usage better than
N. todeaoides, but it is much less beauti-
ful than that variety, being too dense,
therefore of heavy appearance."

Todeaoides is an English sport and the
Britons are loyal to all things British.

FERNS FOR A COOL HOUSE.

Please let me know what would be the
best ferns to grow in a house where the
night temperature is about 48 or 50 de-
grees. J- O. B.

Any of the nephrolepises, such as Bos-
toniensis, Elegantissima and Whitmani,
will do well. Adiantum cuneatum will
succeed satisfactorily. Cyrtomium fal-
catum, Polypodium aureum, many of the
pterises, such as Cretica, Wimsetti, trem-
ula, serrulata and argyrsea; Aspidium
tsussimense, Lastrea opaca and L. aris-
tata, with quite a few of the davallias
and aspleniums, may be relied upon.
The ferns will require the shady end of
the house and prefer a moderately moist
atmosphere. C. W.

Toledo, O. — The Schoen Floral Co.
was more than pleased with Thanksgiv-
ing business. In addition to store trade
they had two large decorations, one for
an elaborate wedding and one for the
Knights of Columbus.

Vegetable Forcing.

Whehe it is convenient to obtain sea-
weed it will be found a good covering
for asparagus beds. Mixed^ with stable
manure, it may be covered with fine soil.

Fremont, Mich. — E. L. Chamberlain,
of Chamberlain & Bunker, greenhouse let-
tuce growers here, is secretary and man-
ager of the Dade City Vegetable Co. at
Dade City, Fla. This concern is growing
large quantities of head lettuce and other
salad vegetables and expects to make a
specialty of producing cucumbers under
canvas. The firm has about six acres un-
der irrigation and cover. Considerable of
the product will go to the western mar-
kets in car lots.

The Bureau of Soils of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture has materially
aided in the development of the early
truck and fruit industry in the Atlantic
and Gulf Coast states. It has shown
that there is a close relationship be-
tween the soils of different localities
and the character of the truck crops
which can be raised. The principal re-
quirements of soils suited to early truck
crops have been found to be small clay
content, insuring excellent drainage and
ease in cultivation and quick response
to applications of fertilizers, and near-
ness to bodies of water, insuring free-
dom from frost. The soil survey has
outlined large areas of land suitable for
early truck— ^md— has— been, instrumental
Tevelopment of this industry. ~'

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The first real snow storm fell on Buf-
falo December 1 and 2. Only light
frosts have occurred, and up to this time
bulb planting has been done every day.

Thanksgiving day was a little raw,
but not too severe for the season. Trade
was brisk the whole week, and before
the day was over mums were scarce;
those who waited till the last for them
"got left." Carnations were very scarce
and not*nearly enough to go around.
Violets sold well and brought about the
same price as in other years.

As Christmas approaches, everyone is
running around to see who has the stock.
We find in this section that poinsettias
are going to be very scarce. Everybody
blames the poor stock, to begin with.
Lorraine begonias are not to be found
with everyone, but there is plenty to
go around. Christmas azaleas are al-
ways scarce and the same can be said
of this year.

In going around, we find that every-
one has received the same word regard-
ing bouquet green; that is, that stock
is very short and the dealers are not
sure of full orders. It is certainly dis-
couraging, after giving an order one
year in advance, to receive this notice
at the last minute. The market is
cornered somewhere, for each year the
market opens up a few days before
Christmas with advanced prices.

Jacob Wiese is going to the holly
fields to buy his own stock for this
season. His business in this line is very
large, and in order to buy a good lot
he is going direct to the fields. Ee-
ports from the south say that holly is to

Variotis Notes.

Professor Cowell, of the Botanical
Gardens, gave a very interesting orchid
show last week. The affair was well
attended and Mr. Cowell was well pleased
with the results.

Paul Milloff, who was in the employ
of the Wm. Scott Co. for a number of
years, and later was employed by
other Buffalo florists, has taken a posi-
tion in a private institution, as garden-
er, Mr, Milloff has not been on the
place long enough to show results, but he
succeeded a good man and was able to
show some of the best mums in Buffalo.

Notice was received last week of the
death of Charles Havanette, who died
early in October. This young man came
to this country when he was 17 years
old, to learn the practical side of the
business. He centered his efforts in Buf-
falo and made many friends here.

Envious of the record of Mr. Weston,

and Wm, Poore entered the annual cross

NOTICE

To Whom it May Concern:

Certain parties are traveling through
the country purchasing Sweet Corn from
farmers with whom the Western Seed &
Irrigation Co. holds contracts for the
delivery of the said corn. This is to no-
tify all such parties - either buyer or sel-
ler—that the Company will prosecute to
the limit of the law, all parties guilty of
such an offense.

Cass Lanning, nurseryman and florist,
at Nowata, Okla., will add a full line
of seeds for spring.

Now that Congress is in session again,
we shall have to roll up our sleeves and
for the 'steenth time wade into the fight
against that free seed appropriation.

Bulbs for bedding have moved much
better in the last ten days than in the
first days of November, and the surpluses
are now well cleaned out, making it a
satisfactory season on the whole.

The wholesale prices of lettuce seed
December 1 were from ten to twenty-five
per cent higher than last year, and some
special sorts higher; Grand Bapids fifty
per cent above last year.

The W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, suf-
fered a slight fire loss last week in one
of its temporary storage buildings, at
Sturgeon Bay, Wis., caused by water,
owing to a fire next door.

The Planters' Seed Co., Springfield,
Mo., is preparing to move the wholesale
department into the new warehouse
which has just been completed, on the
Frisco tracks. The addition of the ware-
house located on the switch will be a
convenience in handling business in the
future.

The Texas Seed & Floral Co., Dallas,
Tex., makes a specialty of poultry food
and has just shipped an order of 100
sacks to one farm. Three carloads of
seed, including oats, were recently ship-
ped to South Africa. Mr. Nicholson, the
manager, reports export trade as steadily
increasing.

The ramifications of the seed trade are
becoming more intricate every year. For
instance, to place the cantaloupe seed, or
at least a part of it, that goes into the
ground in Michigan, in Georgia, in Ten-
nessee, in Arizona, and even in Colorado,
you have to see a fruit and vegetable
commission man in Pittsburg.

The Maryland Seed corn Breeders'
Association held its annual meeting and
exhibition at Baltimore December 3 and
4. J. Bolgiano & Son say it was "the
greatest event of its character ever held
in the state." They oflfered a silver
cup for the best ten ears of corn in the
show. The papers read were by experi-
ment station corn breeders.

A. T. BoDDiNGTON, New York, is ex-
tending his operations in imported nur-
sery stock.

The matter of short seed crops is im-
portant to all dealers, but the only one
who worries over it is the man who has
sold at a fixed price an article not yet
in his possession.

Arthur G. Lee, Fort Smith, Ark., has
recently moved into his new warehouse
on the Frisco tracks. In his new loca-
tion he will have room to install clean-
ing machinery necessary to handle all
business at this point.

Quite a number of seed dealers and
seed growers from over the country were
in Des Moines, la., during the last half
of November, giving evidence before
the grand jury in the case of the United
States vs. F. C. Graves, of the Graves
Seed Co. Mr, Graves was charged with
misuse of the mails.

GOVERNMENT SEED TESTING.

Address all samples and correspondence
concerning seed testing to Seed Labora-
tory, United States Department of Ag-
riculture, Washington, D, C, Samples
are often lost and reports delayed on
account of improper address.

Accompany all samples with a state-
ment as to the exact purpose for which
they are sent: (1) Examination for pres-
«nce of adulterants or dodder. (2) Test
for mechanical purity. (3) Test for
germination.

The examination of samples for the
presence of adulterants or dodder re-
quires but little time and will be given
precedence over all other work. AH sam-
ples sent for this purpose will be ex-
amined at once and reports sent by mail
or on special request by telegraph at the
expense of the receiver.

Test for mechanical purity requires
the separation of the samples into three
parts: (1) Pure seed (the kind being ex-

w°'?^;. ^V ^^'^^g'^ «««^ (a" seeds
not ot the kind being examined). (3)

THE BLUE KOLB GEM.

The Kolb Gem watermelon, the big
blue sort, is getting to be a good crop
for east Texas. It goes on the market
about July 1, when there is just enough
watermelon weather up north, and the
farther it goes north the better it is
when it gets there. And let me tell you,
when you get hold of a big blue Kolb
Gem, after it is good and ripe, you have
a better melon than most of these new
' ' extra sweet ' ' melons, the flesh of which
feels like cotton in your mouth. A great
mistake is often made, however, in ship-
ping the Kolb Gem too green, and then
there is a light colored variety of the
Kolb Gem that never gets good and ripe.
Certainly the demand in Texas is increas-
ing for well graded and loaded Kolb
Gems for the far northern trade, for the
reason that they stand the long haul bet-
ter than any other variety, and, if of the
blue sort, are fine and dandy when they
arrive — well, the farther north the better.

Speaking of the Kolb Gem reminds me
that the first season or two I grew this
melon for shipment I planted the faded
out sort, and wondered why they sold as
well as they did up north. Some one
asked me why I grew them. I answered
that it was the only way I could think of

But these east Texas people know a

in my neck o' the woods the only melon
they prefer to the blue Kolb Gem is the

SEfiD WARRANTY.

Referring to the Rural New Yorker's
inquiry as to how the seedsmen stand
on a warranty of seed of Prizetaker
onion, Northr«p, King & Co., Minneap-
olis, say:

"There is no reputable seedsman in
the United States who would give posi-
tive guarantee of the purity of
any seeds he sends out. This would
be impossible for the following rea-
flons: In the first place, we do
not know of a firm in the regular
seed trade that grows its own Prizetaker
onion seed. This variety is produced al-
most entirely in CaUfornia by those who
™^e it a business to grow such seed.
The balance is grown in Europe by other
professional seed growers. All seeds-
men must purchase their supply through
such growers, and, while due precaution
18 taken after it reaches the seedsman's
hands, he cannot guarantee that it is
pure seed, because it comes through the
hands of another party. Should he at-
tempt to ^arantee the purity of the
seed. It might possibly become mixed

this fact would not be taken into con-

AMPELOPSIS LOWII

This beautiful novelty was obtained from seed raised from AmpelopslB Veitchii.

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 beautifally 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.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

Its Work Affecting Seedsmen.

The introduction of leguminous crops
throughout the different farming sections
of the country is considered of the high-
est importance by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The future maintenance
of fertility is based on a wise use of
such crops. During the year 1907 ex-
tensive work was carried on having in
view the extension of alfalfa culture into
those portions of the country where it is
not now a staple crop. In general, coop-
erators have shown much enthusiasm in
these experiments, and the effect of suc-
cessful work of this kind in stimulating
neighboring farmers to undertake the
culture of the crop is especially gratify-
ing.

"The great interest in alfalfa-grow-
ing throughout the country has created

a much larger demand for alfalfa seed
than our farmers have been able to sup-

"This has brought about the heavy im-
portation of foreign seed, some of which
has been shipped even to the Pacific
coast. With the enormous areas devoted
to alfalfa in this country we should be

the cultural methods used and is partly
dependent upon varietal characteristics.
Both these lines of investigation are be-
ing vigorously prosecuted, so as to bring
about a great increase in the production
of American alfalfa seed."

After relating the VFork done in im-
proving varieties in other crops, such as
corn, cotton, tobacco, etc., including the
work of exploration and pathological
investigation, the secretary continues:

"The department is making a special
effort to educate the farmer in the mat-
ter of good seeds. With this end in view
many thousands of tests have been made
during the year, both for seedsmen and
for farmers. The work on seed adultera-
tion has been continued, with gratifying
results. Aside from the continued sale
of Canada bluegrass seed for Kentucky
bluegrass seed, fewer cases of adultera-
tion have been found than in former
years. The importation of low-grade red
clover seed has continued, some lots con-
taming over 8,000,000 weed seeds per
bushel. ^

"The work of securing, packeting, as-
sembling and mailing the seed for con-
gressional purposes was carried on the
same as in past years. This work is now
80 systematized that it goes along smooth-
iy, despite the large quantities of seed
that must be secured and sent out. The

tributed has remained the same for the

QNCINNATL

The Market.

Business during Thanksgiving week
was satisfactory from almost every point
of view. The total sales footed up to
last year, and in a few instances exceeded
it. Of course, we hear of those who
are kicking, but we have plenty to be
thankful for. Thanksgiving trade has
its peculiarities. Monday and Tuesday
brought forth little demand and Wednes-
day saw great quantities of stock be-
ing received by the commission houses.
It looked as if there would be a big
glut. The retail stores had bought lit-
tle and were careful what they bought.
But of a sudden, orders began to come
in, and business took on a holiday rush.
This kept up till Thursday noon, when
virtually all of the good, salable stock
had been sold at good prices. Yel-
low mums went like hot cakes.

There has been a big let-up in mums
since Thanksgiving. It would appear
that the market was cleared out of them
in a day. Medium sizes are scarce and
there are practically no large ones.

Carnations continue scarce and there
is little prospect for a crop of them
before the holidays. Eoses are in good
supply and of good quality. Now that
the mums are virtually out of the way,
roses ought to begin to sell better and
the price ought to rise to something
near what it ought to be. A strong
inclination to boost prices a little can
be felt now.

Various Notes.

"With the change of political power in
the city government January 1, there
may probably be a change in the head
of the park department. The present
superintendent, J. W. Rodgers, is in
hopes of retaining his position. Besides
him, B. P. Critchell, who was formerly
park superintendent, and David Knott,
who at present is in charge of the city
greenhouses at Eden park, are possibil-
ities. It looks as if political pull will

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

There is some diversity of opinion as
to the amount of profit in Thanksgiving
trade. Some retailers claim that the bulk
of sales was equal to those of one year
ago, while others say that they did not
equal them by twenty-five per cent. There
were apparently as many sales made but
they were for smaller amounts and, al-
though a great deal of stock was han-
dled, it was of a cheaper grade than that
usually sold at this season.
. Violets and carnations were in the best
demand, while fancy roses and big chrys-
anthemums were not so eagerly bought
up. Tons of red berries were handled
and they formed a large bulk of the sales
with many of the smaller dealers. Al-
though the profits on these are large
enough, the sales are usually for small
amounts and they take up much time and
space in handling.

Valley, narcissi, hyacinths and cycla-
mens sold fairly well, but not at the
prices they should have brought. The
growers are stiflfening somewhat on the
prices of carnations and all good stock
is held at 50 cents per dozen. Roses, es-
pecially of the light colors, are cheaper
in proportion, but they can be expected
to advance in price at any moment.

Bouness outside of the Thanksgiving
day trade is fair, especially in the line
of f unpral /orders,

HOLIDAY PROSPECTS.

Now that the first of the season's

their attention to the coming ones. There
was some disappointment to tne retailers

pear to be more fortunate thus far.
Prices are not excessive and there is

With ordinary climatic conditions we
can expect from the growers fully as
much stock as' there was offered by them
one year ago. There is this exception,
however, in the case of roses, that not
a few growers have turned their houses
to carnations and, as there has practi-
cally been no building during the past
year, the difference will be noticeable.

Practically all the indoor mums are
gone. Violets are at the same acreage
devoted to them last year, but they are
cheaper than a year ago.

is already engaged by the retailers.
The prices average about $10 to $12
per dozen for the best stock planted in
6-inch and 7-inch pots.

Cyclamen are in good demand and any
first-class stock will be quickly bought up.

Half a dozen growers make a specialty
of the various varieties of nephrolepis
and these, with well grown pots of adi-
antum, seem to be by far in the great-
est demand. Baskets of the same and
Asparagus Sprengeri are another popu-
lar article.

In palms, Kentia Belmoreana and K.
Forsteriana are the best sale and have
practically superseded everything else.
Since the advent of their growing by the
Japanese nurserymen, they have cheap-
ened in price, but the quality has cor-
respondingly lowered and the results of
too much forcing make them unsatisfac-
tory propositions for handling by the
ordinary florist, who has no facilities for
putting them in the temperature to which
they have been accustomed and without
which they rapidly lose their color and
stability.

Bulbous stock will apparently not be
plentiful during the coming season, with
the possible exception of valley. Hya-
cinths have not bee« heavily planted,
and forcing varieties of tulips seem not
to be as popular with growers as one
might expect at this season. G.

STORING TREE SEEDS.

Seeds kept through the winter in bot-
tles or jars are often, when spring ar-
rives, found to have been entirely spoiled
because the air in these vessels has be-
come contaminated by the exhalations
from the seeds and has got into a wet
condition from the closely confined mois-
ture they contain. There is no danger
of such a result with seeds if they are
put away in sand or fairly dry soil
and kept in a cool place.

Now, or a little later, is the time to
procure seeds of holly, which should,
when collected, be mixed with sand or
fine loam in a box and put away in some
cool place indoors or buried where they
will be safe outdoors until spring. Then
they may be taken in hand and freed of
pulp, and the seeds again mixed with
sand and put away as before, until au-
tumn, when they diould be sown in the
open ground.

There are a great many seeds of trees
and shrubs which, unless preventive
measures are taken, will be welcome prey
for mice and rats. There are many meth-
ods that will suggest themselves to who-
ever is interested in the preservation of
seeds, that will avoid their loss in this
way. M.

USE OF NITROGEN AND LIME.

Plants derive their nitrogen from am-
monia and nitric acid, and though at one
time it was supposed that they obtained
nitrogen from the atmosphere, it is now
universally admitted that the nitrogen of
plants is assimilated from the two sources
above mentioned.

Estimated by its proportional weight,
nitrogen forms only a small part of
plants, but it is never entirely absent
from any part of them.

If poor growth on trees in a nursery
is not the result of neglect in the thor-
ough tillage of the soil for the preserva-
tion of the moisture, the soil needs nitro-
gen, which may be given in the form of
nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia,
at the rate of about 300 pounds to the
acre. The application should be made in
spring.

Lime acts more by bringing other sub-
stances into a proper condition for being
absorbed by the roots of plants than by
directly affording nourishment of itself.
Some soils, especially such as are peaty,
become acid or sour because of the pres-
ence of vegetable acids. On such soils
lime acts in a beneficial and corrective
manner, by uniting with and neutralizing
the vegetable acids. B. B.

- FOLL^GE INJURY.

For a number of years it has been a
problem with pathologists to find some
successful way of treating the peach with
fungicides in order not to injure the fo-
liage. Some of the standard fungicides
often cause complete defoliation. For

this reason it has been found diflScult to
control a number of serious diseases af-
fecting the peach by any of the ordi-
nary treatments. This year it was dis-
covered, by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, that a sulphur wash made
by combining lime and sulphur, with
no other heat than that produced by the
slaking of the lime, gave a preparation
which was not injurious to peach foliage
and which prevented the scab and re-
duced peach rot to ten per cent on the
sprayed trees, whereas unsprayed trees
had seventy-five per cent of the disease.
This fungicide, further, completely pre-
vented the leaf-spot fungi and produced
no injury whatever, either to foliage or
fruit. While this preparation has been
previously used in winter, when the trees
were dormant, this is the first time it
has been tried on trees in active growth,
with the success as indicated.

ture demand a certainty. For a beauti-
ful, hardy, compact shrub, there is
scarcely anything to beat this Japanese
barberry. It never seems out of place,
either when seen growing singly, in large
groups or in hedges. It is equally satis-
factory in whichever way used.

This shrub has, of course, for long
been used as a shrub for planting as iso-
lated specimens and in grouping, but it
is only quite recently it has been to any
great extent taken advantage of as a
hedge plant. Its hardiness and orna-
mental character from early spring right
through the winter will cause it to take
the place of privet to a considerable ex-
tent, especially for locations where privet
has occasionally proved disappointing in
its liability to winter killing.

Seeds of Berberis Thonbergii should
be gathered now and kept all winter cov-

some place such as a cellar indoors. Or
the usual method may be adopted, of

FOR IHMEDIATS SHIPMKNT

The right time to buy Rnses is when they are fresh and well ripened. Roses potted up in
the fall or winter become better established and force better, and are far m'ire satisfactory
in every way, and you can retard and force at your leisure. We recommend American-grown
Ramblers. Don't attempt to force imported Ramblers; the general experience 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:

Anns ds Slssbaoh. Bright carmine.

Bell of Snow. Pure white.

Baron de Bonstetten. Dark crimson,
fhaded.

Baronses Botbschlld Satiny pink; extra.

Captain Obrlsty. Delicate flesh-color.

Duke of Bdinbnrg'b Bright vermilion; fine.

Flsbsr Bolmss. Dark rich scarlet.

Fran Xarl Drasobkl. The finest white In
existence.

Osnsral Jaoanemlnot. Rich velvety crim-
son.

Osnsral WashlnirtOB. Beautiful red,
shaded carmine.

John Hopper. Beautiful rose pink.

Marffarst Dlokson. White, pale flesh
center.

BEaffna Obarta. Olear rosy pink.

Mms. Oabrlsl ]&nisst. Light satiny
pink.

Mms. Plantlor. White.

Mrs. John I.ainir< Soft pink; most desir-

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Chrysanthemums are almost a thing
of the past for this year, but there were
plenty of them for Thanksgiving," as
well as of almost everything else. The
general trade was better than most of
us expected and everything cleaned up
nicely. There was not much advance in
price. The people wanted flowers, as
usual, but were looking for something
reasonable in price, and the retailers
believed conditions were such that it
was not wise to advance prices for one
day, so they made it their business to
see that they did not pay high prices
for stock. No doubt they were wise,
but many growers will be disappointed
in their returns, although, all things
considered, they fared well.

With the disappearance of mums stock
was short of the demand at the first of
the present week and prices were bet-
ter. If all reports in our city are true
we can look for better things from this
time on. Hoo-Hoo.

LANSING, MICH.

The Maplewood Violet and Nursery
Co. has done a fine business in nursery
stock during this, its first year. Miss
Chittenden says that the indications for
a fine holiday crop of violets, both sin-
gle and double, were never better.

W. Krieger believes in doing well
what he undertakes, and this was well
demonstrated in his fine stock of chrys-
anthemums.

ST. PAUL.

State of Trade.

There is no reason to complain about
Thanksgiving trade. Everybody was busy
and nearly everything salable was dis-
posed of; it is hard to say which was the
best seller. Roses were plentiful, except
in red. Carnations fell short of the de-
mand. Violets were in fair supply and
good demand. Mums were cleaned out
and their season is practically ended in
this market. Beauties partook of the
general call and sold well.

The holiday spirit is now in the air
and, while sales fluctuate widely, the av-
erage is good. Social events have been
numerous this fall and the flower busi-
ness good in consequence. Country busi-
ness has been brisk and funeral flowers
in great demand.

Various Notes.

The death of three prominent men in
one day last week created a great de-
mand for flowers. Holm & Olson had a
heavy business at the close of the week,
mostly for Masonic designs.

The weather has been ideal for the
growers and they are all getting into
line for a big crop at Christmas.

O. J. Olson and G. A. Clausen returned
from their moose hunting trip a few
days since, bringing in one fine buck
and some smaller game.

Holm & Olson banqueted their em-
ployees Friday evening, November 29.
There were twenty-one at the table at
the Norden Club, where a fine dinner of
seven courses was served. The afifair
was informal and highly enjoyable. O. J.
Olson presided as toastmaster.

There was a decided improvement in

Some fine late chrysanthemums, such
as Nonin and white and yellow Jones,
are to be seen in the windows.

Violets were never better and there
is a good demand for them.

Gudes' are cutting some exceptionally
fine Enchantress carnations.

At the Grant-Root wedding 10,000 gar-
denias were used, sent from Mexico.

NEW ORLEANS.

The Trade in the South.

With the thermometer standing at 70
degrees at night, the craft, who usually
have considerable planting to do at this
time, are not very jubilant. Walking
through the beautiful Audubon park with
Superintendent Jules Fonta, I noted scar-
let geraniums, poinsettias, jasmines, and
the like, in full bloonl.

Chrysanthemums are passing. A big
exhibition was held in Horticultural hall,
and among several varieties that were
new to- me were Miss Minnie Baisley,
Mlle^. Marie Lager and Fred Dormay. The
latter is of a soft creamy shade.

Among foliage plants Pandanus San-
deri gives much satisfaction, as it holds
its color well and is far superior to
Veitchii, which bleaches out during the
hot months. In cannas. King Humbert
is the best yet introduced. The grand
specimens of Araucaria Bidwillii and
Cedrus Deodara, so much admired, will
not be disturbed in the improvements be-
ing made.

A wave of rebuilding and overhauling
has swept over the city. There is scarcely
one member of the craft who has not
made some change of late. The trade
looks healthy and progressive, from the
handsome ranges of glass owned by
Ha»ry Papworth and U. J. Virgin to the
pansy frames of the more modest crafts-
men. They are up to date. Mr. Virgin
proved this one evening when he had an
immense floral horseshoe to deliver. A

The Weekly Florists' Review^

Deciuibbb 5, 1007.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Thanksgiving business was good. Most
of the stores report their sales as be-
ing ahead of last year. About the
only flower that went begging was the
violet, and this is the growers' own
fault. They held back the violets until
the day before Thanksgiving, thereby
making it appear as if violets would
be scarce and scaring the retailers out
of taking orders.

This market is well cleaned up at pres-
ent on all good stock. The chrysanthe-
mum season is rapidly nearing the end,
and the chances are that then we will
get funeral work with no flowers to
make it. The medium grade mums
seemed to be in the best demand last
week, although all the higher priced
stock cleaned up well.

Boses are in good demand and are
bringing good prices. The stock on this
market is nothing to brag about, but
it no doubt compares favorably with
stock in other cities. Some good car-
nations are arriving daily and meet with
a ready sale, bringing from 2Y2 cents
to 3 cents. For Thanksgiving they
brought as much as 4 cents. To make a
long story short, all good stock sells
rapidly at a good price. Galax, leu-
cothoe, ferns, smilax, etc., are plentiful.

Various Notes.

A commendable exhibit of pompons in
pink, yellow and white was made by
Fred Pantke, of Grosse Pointe, at the
club's show November 19.

B. Schroeter tells us that orders for
Beacon, Winsor and White Enchantress
cuttings are coming in with every mail.
Many thousand cuttings are in the bench
and the first shipment will be made next
week. The stock plants at Schoeter's
greenhouses look healthy and strong, and
are good for many more cuttings. Win-
sor seems to be the strongest grower of
the trio.

J. F. Sullivan displayed a beautiful
lot of extra large mums in his window
before Thanksgiving, and no doubt this
helped him to increase his sales con-
siderably. H. 8.

Olean, N. Y. — Mrs. F. H. Johnson
says there was more business than money
during the last month. Besides some
small receptions, there were two or three
weddings, for which good decorations
were ordered.

MoNTQOMEEY, Ala. — 'Robert W. Pat-
terson has added four houses, 30x200
feet, heated by a Kroeschell boiler. This
gives him a glass area of 90,000 feet.
His stock is in excellent shape. His car-
nations are the best seen in this section.
He is also very successful with Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine. Bose Kate Moulton
is a money maker, as grown here. A re-
cent purchase of fifty acres of rich,
loamy land will supply soil for a while.

The Weekly Florists' Revic w«

Dbcbmbwi 5, 1907.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

Business Good.

TbaukBgiving was quite satiafactory.
All the florists found themselves pretty
wefl cleaned out after the rush. Yellow
chrysanthemums sold at a premium. Al-
though florists replenished their supply
of roses froHi the north, there were
still not enough to go around. Beauties
are scarce. Violets are arriving in fair
quantities, but not enough to supply the
market. Potted plants are moving
slowly.

Joys Reorganize*

Joy & Son Co. has reorganized under
the name of Joy Floral Co., with a cap-
ital stock of $40,000. T. S. Joy is re-
tiring from active business. Tom C.
Joy is president and treasurer of the
new company and Michael Stauch, of late
years with J. F. Wilcox, at Council
Bluffs, is secretary and general mana-
ger. Their place consists of about 125,-
000 square feet of glass. All is in the
best of repair and well stocked with
roses and carnations. Enchantress, rose-
pink and white, are hard to beat. Aris-
tocrat is also showing up fine. They
also grow a large stock of miscellaneous
plants.

In connection with the greenhouses,
which are located in East Nashville, they
run a store at 601 Church street. T. C.
Joy has taken the lead at this place,
while Mr. Stauch has taken hold at the
greenhouse end of the business. The
Joy & Son Co. has been one of the most
successful places in the south. S.

DENISON, TEX. \

The second annual flower show of the
Civic Improvement League was held here
November 20 to 23, and was so success-
ful as to arouse great enthusiasm, which
culminated in the immediate formation
of plans for next year's show. The
auction sale of blooms, on the closing
day, was well patronized and added
considerably to the receipts.

Among the few members of the trade
who were represented at the show were
Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian, Mich.,
whose exhibits were conspicuous for
their size and elegance and captured most
of the prizes in all the classes in which
they were entered.

Without the Review I should be
obliged to go out of business, as I find it
is the key , to a successful trade. — Feed

Greeohoose Heating.

ONE BOILER OR TWO?

Is it cheaper to heat two houses, 24x
120, with one large boiler or with two
smaller ones? If two boilers are used,
one could do the work during mild
weather. (j_ jij

In general it is cheaper to run one
boiler than two. However, in large
plants where reserve power is needed or
where there is danger from placing en-
tire dependence on a single boiler, two
or more are installed. As a rule, large
boilers are more economical of fuel than
small ones. The work of firing, the cost
of installation and the efficiency in heat-
ing must all be considered in planning a
heating plant. L C C

WATER UNDER PRESSURE.

We have a greenhouse 32x50 feet and
we cannot get the expansion tank as
high as I would like it. I am told there
18 a way to run hot water under pressure.
Will you please give me an idea of how
It IS done! J. W. F

Water under pressure simply means
water conducted in malleable iron, not
cast-iron, pipes, under a head produced
either by connecting the system with an
expansion tank elevated twenty feet or
more or by connecting the plant to the
standpipe of a large elevated supply
tank or city water main. In any case a
small pipe, not over %-inch, is connected

State of Trade.

Trade has been good for the last two
weeks. Thanksgiving trade was satisfac-
tory all around, from all reports. While
roses and carnations moved rather slowly
in the early part of the game, there was
a good demand at the last hour. But
mums held full sway over everything and
they are pretty well cleaned out, with
the exception of a few late varieties.
Roses, carnations and violets are coming
on fine and since the bulk of the mums
is gone there is hardly enough stock to
supply the demand.

The stores are beginning to take on
their Christmas garments and there are
plenty of paper bells to be seen in the
windows at this early date.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting Tuesday, November 26. The new
officers took their chairs, as follows:
President, R. A. Currie; vice-president,
C. P. Torrey; secretary, James McKel-
lar; treasurer, Jacob Reichert. Messrs.
McKellar, Torrey, Metzmaier, Hills and
Bauman were appointed to arrange
some sort of an entertainment for each
meeting and there will be something
doing in the near future. After the
meeting adjourned the members tried
their strong arms at bowling. The high
scores were made by Reichert, McKellar,
Currie and Metzmaier. The boys are
greatly worked up on bowling and there
will soon be a good team here.

Sherman Stephens has a nice bunch of

Thanksgiving Trade.

Trade for Thanksgiving was very
good. There was a fine supply of flowers
on hand. Some nice mums were seen,
Jeanne Nonin being fine. A few Bon-
naffon were seen. Prices were satisfac-
tory, $2 and $3 per dozen retail being
realized for them. Some fine rosps were
available, $2 per dozen retail being the
selling price. Carnations were in fine
shape; 75 cents per dozen retail for
them. Violets were in big demand on
this date; $2 per hundred was the price
they brought. The Thanksgiving hop
given by the four hundred of this city
November 29, called for a large quantity
of stock of the first-class variety and
at good prices. This, with funeral work,
made last week a busy one.

Various Notes.

B. H. Woodhouse reports the mum
season the best lie ever had. He re-
alized top prices for all through the
season. He had fine batches of J. Nonin
and Nagoya for Thanksgiving.

-Napoleon Lemay met with a serious
accident at his greenhouse Wednesday,
November 27. While trying to tighten
a steam pipe, it burst and scalded him
severely. He is now improving.

August Jahn has some fine carnation
seedlings. He has a large block of a
white, about 10,000 plants, called Lloyd,
which fills three large houses. A house
containing another seedling, a good Har-
vard crimson, something like 1,200
plants, is in fine shape. He ships the
blooms daily to the Boston market, where
they realize a good price.

William Livesey had some nice Jeanne
Nonin for Thanksgiving.

Fred C. CouU has left the employ of

THE RETAIL

FLORIST

PLANT ARRANGEMENTS.

Reasons for Their Popularity.

Christmas is one of the seasons at
■which the supply man and the plantsman
reap their greatest harvests. The retail
florist is, of course, the harvest-hand and
through him the public's dollars are gar-
nered for the bright men who provide the
many accessories which are an essential
at this season, and for the careful grow-
<>rs who provide our Christmas plants.

For more than half a dozen years the
trend toward plant arrangements at the
holidays has been pronounced. First it
was in the large cities that these gifts
gained popularity, but as the supplies of
Christmas plants increased, the business
in them grew and broadened until now
every florist, even in the little country
towns, sells some sort of plant arrange-
ment at Christmas and Easter.

A portion of the popularity of these
arrangements is no doubt due to the high
prices which cut flowers command at
Christmas. But if the supply were equal
to the demand, there would be no advance
in the price of cut stock. Therefore the
plant arrangement has its place as fur-
nishing stock for sales which could not
be made if the trade were dependent
•solely upon cut flowers. Cut flowers can-
not be manufactured, but some sort of a
plant arrangement can be turned out, no
matter how meager the material.

To the retailer who finds it impossible
to make his usual margin of profit on cut
flower sales at the holidays, the plant ar-
rangement has also the virtue of afford-
ing an even better profit than is made at
other seasons. Therefore it is but natural
that retailers should push the plants,
knowing that they can sell without mucli
trouble all the cut flowers the season is
likely to produce.

Lorraine Leads.

As a Christmas plant there is nothing
which boats the Lorraine begonia when
the demand is for nice work and no guar-
antee of enduring quality is required. It
has been the experience of a good many
retailers that Lorraine drops its flowers
quickly when taken into a dwelling and
one leading retail florist, who deals on
the plane of strictest truthfulness, for
several seasons has instructed his sales-
men, when the customer asks of Lorraine,
"Will it keep?" to say nothing more
than ' ' At least as long as cut flowers. ' '

It will be noted that the Lorraine is
part of all the best plant arrangements
illustrated in this issue. These are from
Ithotographs made at Christmas, 1906,
the best of them at the store of W. J
Smyth in Chicago. The smaller pieces
were photographed at a store where trade
ot less expensive tastes is catered to.

Hampers the Most Popular.
Possibly the most popular plant ar-
rangement to sell in a first-class store is
Iho hamper of mixed material. If well
<lone, those sell by the dozens where $5

mw •\*W '\'W V"?^

to $10 is an ordinary price for a cus-
tomer to spend for a Christmas gift.

The gem of all the arrangements
shown in this issue is a square hamper
of wide plaits, silvery in hue and lined
with tin to prevent the moisture coming
through. In this was planted a fine speci-
men of Lorraine, with supporting stakes
removed so that the plant had no unnat-
ural support. The cover of the hamper
carried a big bow and was held erect by
the strands of ribbon which encompassed
the plant and which were tied at the
front of the hamper, as shown, in a big
loose bow. The ribbon was pale green
gauze and the combination of colors of
the silvery hamper, the darker green of

to make its best appearance from one
aide.

The other basket was square, with the
handles at two diagonally opposite cor-
ners, so that the basket really was dia-
mond-shape; the colors, red and white,
braided. The variety of stock in this
case was even greater, poinsettias and an
araucaria being added, and a small ken-
tia at the back, for the basket was ar-
ranged to make its best show from the
side upon which the Lorraine begonia
drooped. Of course, there was a ribbon.

The Large Hamper.

The large hamper shown in this issue
was in Christmas red and one of the
handsomest things the season produced.
The long wicker hamper was in ox-blo()4l
red and the color was furtlier heightened
by the row of poinsettias planted at the
back and by the Jerusalem cherry in
each end of the hamper. In the center
of the basket there was an azalea, a Lor-
raine begonia and some primulas, the
space at the back between the single
stems of poinsettia being occupied by
Whitmani ferns, which added much to
the eflfect. The ribbon used, not too
I)rofu8ely, was wide and holly red. The

Christmas Basket of Lorraine, Farleyense and Other Plants.

the foliage, the jiink of the flower and
the tint of the ribbon was exquisite.

LtLTge Basket Arrangements.

The two large baskets were made to
sell at about $15 each. One contained,
besides the Lorraines, a small azalea, some
cyclamens, a primula or two and a fine
plant of Adiantum Farleyense, with some
nephrolepis ferns. The 'basket was red
and white, round in shape but pl?inted

cover was rounded, not flat, and was
fastened to lean forward just the least
bit.

The Straw Hat.

In a number of stores last Christmas a
popular seller was the straw hat shown
in another of the illustrations in this
issue. It was used as a receptacle for
a variety of plants, but for none did it
servo as well as for the Lorraine begonia.

u

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Dkcembku 12, 1907.

There is no high art about this. It was
simply a case of taking a small begonia,
covering its pan with white crepe paper,
setting it in the hat, tying the ribbons
to the top of the stake in the begonia,
and sending it out on orders. In one
store where these were offered at $3
each, hardly anything else was sold until
the supply of hats was exhausted.

' Boxwood.

It is a long time since any green has
been offered which has met with the
quick success of boxwood. In its cut
state it was regarded' as a find by the
retailers of keen perception who first got
hold of it, and it was only until another
season before the wholesalers nearly all
were offering it by the pound, or by the
case, and it was in general use in floral
designs of all sorts.

As a pot plant boxwood has had an
equal success for many uses, but in no
form does it sell more readily, or bring
a better profit, than as a Christmas
plant. The green harmonizes splendidly
with the holly red which is demanded by
most Christmas buyers. A plant which
costs from 25 cents to 35 cents, the pot
covered with a red Porto Eican mat and

tied with a big bow of red ribbon, easily
becomes worth $3. In the case of the
illustration a scarlet trumpet of red im-
mortelles tied with red cord was added
at a cost of 75 cents and hardly seemed
to be justified in the minds of the Christ-
mas shoppers.

In this case the mat was red and the
ribbon of a darker shade, but an excel-
lent result is secured by planting the
boxwood in one of the mat-green, round
jars offered by the supply houses and by
tying a ribbon in the branches of the
plant, but rather low down.

Cheap Christmas Plants.

Without doubt the majority of retail
florists, especially those in the country
towns who grow their own supplies, find
cyclamens and Jerusalem cherries much
more salable than the expensive plants
handled in the leading city stores. Such
stock only needs a pot cover and a band
of ribbon with a bow. The combinations
which may be made are infinite, but
green is the safer color. These plants
may be made up to sell for as little as
$1 and return an excellent profit where
the delivery expense does not have to bo
considered.

Boxwood in Red Porto Rican Mat,

Single Plants.

Among the leaders for Christmas sales
are azaleas, araucarias and, of course,
poinsettias. The best poinsettia is the
pan of several low plants with wide scar-
let bracts, All these need is a pot cover,
preferably dark green crepe paper tied
with red ribbon. Tall plants, one in a
pot, can only be sold to discriminating
customers when made up in the rather
high priced hampers. Azaleas, too, need
only a pot cover. The araucaria sells
best with some bows of red ribbon in the
branches, or perhaps some little Christ-
mas bells. Low, broad plants of course
are best.

Delivery a^Big Item.

One of the advantages which the coun-
try florist has over his city brother is in
the item of delivery. The country cus-
tomer in many cases takes his purchase
with him, but in th6 city nearly every-
thing must be delivered. One of the lead-
ing retailers in Chicago has said that
it does not pay him to make a sale at
Christmas or any other holiday whicli
does not give him a profit of at least 75
cents. He estimates that the extra ex-
pense incidental to the large number of
long distance deliveries which must be
made within a very few hours on Christ-
mas morning takes away all profit on
smaller sales.

On another page in this issue are pic-
tures of some odds and ends which re-
turn a good profit to all florists where
delivery charges are not an obstacle. One
is simply a small Asparagus plumosus in
a red straw pot cover with a ribbon
looped through the handles. Another is
an enameled twig basket with a cocos
and some small ferns. Another is a
raflia basket, with three or four sprays
of holly. A little more pretentious affair
is a larger raffia basket with a cover. Al-
most any small plant could be sold in
this. The lichen-covered Dutch shoes
and an innumerable List of such oddities
may be had of all supply houses and will
sell in large numbers.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.

Lycopodium, commonly known as bou-
quet green or ground pine, used exten-
sively for wreaths and festoons, looked
likely to fall shorter this year than at
any time in the history of its use as a
decoration. Stringent game laws which
have taken effect in the northern states
since last year — shortening of the hunt-
ing season to one month instead of three
— threatened not only to reduce the out-
put this year but to do so in future sea-
sons. Reports from the regions in which
lycopodium is found told a tale of an un-
precedented influx of hunters all through
the short open season. Modern • fire-
arms and their far-reaching bullets, to-
gether with the greatly increased
number of sportsmen in the woods
coming in conflict with the pickers of
lycopodium, at first caused the natives
to see the wisdom of staying within
their domiciles during the hunting sea-
son. These conditions promised to re-
duce to an alarming degree the supply of
ground pine, for weather conditions are
seldom favorable for picking after the
influx of hunters has ebbed away. It is
true that the Indians are less fearful of
the hunters' bullets than their white
brother, and were it not for their love
of lethargy and disinclination to work
so long as they have any money whatever,
Chicago jobbers pould safely depend on
them for an adequate lycopodium .supply.

A Basket of Christmas Plants Arranged by W. J. Smyth, Chicago.

And in the last fortnight the high price
caused by the prospect of scarcity so
stimulated the pickers that the result has
been unlocked for heavy receipts and a
falling market. Green now is abundant.

Holly promises to be in fair supply,
though it is reported that many sections
in Tennessee and Mississippi are makin^r
a poor showing. Growers are fast learn-
ing the necessity of shipping only such
holly as produces bright red berries, for
there is neither demand nor price for the
other kind.

While mistletoe is always popular, the
demand for this parasitic plant is limited.
Dealers have learned by experience that
it pays them to practice extreme caution
in the purchase of this decoration, and
to buy only of experienced and responsi-
ble shippers. Poor packing and a lax ob-
servance of weather conditions often re-
sult in a total loss, and more than onco
• l)ig consignments of mistletoe shipped on
speculation have been sold for charges.
Only well-berried mistletoe is in demand,
and, like holly, this decoration must come
np to a high standard of quality to be
marketable. Mistletoe is said to be abun-
<lant this season.

While a considerable quantity of green
sheet moss is used for pot coverings,
store windows and hanging baskets, its
use as a strictly holiday decoration, like
that of the southern, or Florida, gray
moss, is not so profuse as the holly and
green, and therefore does not play an im-
portant part in the jobbing trade about
Christmas time.

But chamarops palm crowns and palm
leaves have decided advantages over some
of the green- decorations in that their
keeping qualities are superior. The
leaves, however, must be placed in water
or wet moss to avert wilting. But de-
spite these advantages the demand for
palm crowns is almost gone. Their un
wieldy qualities, which make them diffi-
cult of shipment, have tended to destroy
the interest formerly taken in them by
jobbers.

Wild smilax is not exactly a Christmas
green, nor do magnolia wreaths, or galax,
or laurel festooning have a great sale,
although each is a factor. For fine trade
boxwood wreaths sell well and this is an
article likely to stay in the hands of the
florists for some time, as the supply' is
too limited and the price too high to at

tract the attention of the provision peo
pie, whose incursions into the field in re-,
cent years have done so much to destroy ■
the profit in Christmas greens, because
quality has been a second consideration
and cheapness the first thing sought.

FASTENING WALL DECORATIONS.

« In decorations where it is desired to
fasten smilax or asparagus strings, or
ribbons, to walls or ceilings where there
is no woodwork, how may this be done
without marking or marring the paper
or paint? H. F. C.

Such a question as yours often con-
fronts the decorator. I presume you are
referring to house decorating. There is
in almost every room in a house some
woodwork where you can get a hold, al-
though it may be some distance away
from where you are decorating. Of
course, if there is none at all you will
have to get a hold on the wall or ceil-
ing somewhere.

The extreme corners of a room are a
good place to fasten a wire or string.

will leave no noticeable mark when re-
moved, as paper, paint or tapestry usu-
ally meets in the corners. Sometimes I
have found it necessary to draw a strong
wire from the fixture in the center of a
room to the side, or rather to the meet-
ing place of the wall and ceiling. From
this wire you can suspend green, doves,
bells, a canopy, etc.

A picture molding in a room also af-
fords a good place to fasten green.
Some time ago I had occasion to de:'-
ora^e a ?ort of bay window with south-
ern smilax. The window was off a large
reception hall and the ceiling of the win-
dow was somewhat lower than that of
the room proper. As the finest of tapes-
try was used on the wall and the lady of
the house was standing close by, I had
to be exceedingly careful. To begin
with. I stretched some strong silkaline
•from the curtain ])oles in the window
to the jiicture molding running around
the room. This gave me something on
which to fasten the smilax to form a
sort of canopy at the top of the window.
Then it was an easy matter to hang the
green from the curtain rods down to
the floor, forming a background. To
fasten some smilax at the aide of the-
room just at the entrance to the window
and over the entrance, I drove a few
small tacks into the top of the molding
and tied the stems of "the southern smilax
to them; it, being stiff, held itself in
])Iace.

Very often one has to go far out of
his way to find a place to fasten a thin
wire or strong string from which to hang
garlands or ribbon.

Push pins with the glass handle are
very handy to use in decorating. The
hole til at rhey leave when removed is so
small as to be almost invisible. You
will liave to resort to fome such scheme
if you desire to fasten a few flowers or
a bow to the side of a w.-ill. unless you
suspend those from the ceiling.

AVhere a room rounds off instead of

coming to a sharp corner where the ceil-
ing and wall meet, it is often a hard

matter to find a hold. TIaually this curve
in the ceiling or wall is set off with a
molding and this latter attords a place
to fasten something. In a case of this
kind, if you want to decorate the ceil-
ing, unless you can drive a tack in each
corner and form a sort of network of
thin wire, you will have to extend some
stiff wire from the chandelier and sus-
pend your decorations from this.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

The Sons; of the Violet.

This arrangement was one of the
bright ideas of Charles Henry Fox,
Philadelphia, whose work at the Sign of
the Rose has been appearing in half-
tone reproduction in the Rkview for
some weeks. The arrangement was to
cover a baby grand piano, and was pho-
tographed as designed by Mr. Fox for a
musicale at a fashionable home where
Mme. Nordica sang ' ' The Song of the
Violet. ' ' The space occupied was six
feet long by four feet wide. The ham-
per in. the background was filled solidly
with violets. The violin and manuscript
of music rested against the hamper,
the six favors being large clusters of
violets and orchids.

ENGLISH IVY.

English ivy is not perfectly hardy in
all sections of this dbuntry. This is
proved by the fact that during several
successive winters many thousands have

been killed outright in certain sections of
several northeastern states.

Notwithstanding such happenings, I do
not believe in covering ivy to the extent
of excluding the light of day from it
absolutely, as is sometimes done by the
use of burlap. I rather think that such
coddling weakens it, and renders the
plants incapable of surviving or of cling-
ing to the wood after the covering is re-
moved and they are exposed to light in
early spring. If, instead of being cov-
ered 80 closely, the plants are partially
shaded by means of spruce or hemlock
branches, and a good, heavy mulching of
manure, in a half rotted state, is placed
over the roots, there will not be so many
dead plants in the spring. M.

bench to bloom for Memorial day? Are
these usually profitable? W. C. H.

Snapdragons should be sown without
delay, if wanted in flower in good shape
for Memorial day. A better plan would
be to take cuttings from the sides of the
flowering shoots of any plants you may
now be growing and root in sand in a
moderate bottom heat. A bench which
will root carnations will be equally good
for antirrhinums. Pot off as soon as
rooted and plant in the benches when
nicely established in the pots. Adopt
the same plan with any seedlings raised.

It is too early to sow seeds of ten
weeks stock. The middle to the end of
February will be about right, if you use
White Column and a good selected strain
of ten weeks. Pot off the seedlings as

advised for antirrhinums and bench be-
fore they become matted in the pots. A
certain percentage always come single.
Pull them out as soon as they show them-
selves, as they are of little value.

A temperature of 50 degrees at night
is suflBciently high for either of these
plants. A warmer house would be un-
suitable. As to whether they are profit-
able crops, much depends on the quality
of the stock you grow and your facili-
ties for selling it. If you have a good
local trade, you should have no trouble
in disposing of ftiem. It will be better
to grow separate colors than mixtures.
In stocks, white, lavender, pink and flesh
are always popular, although for Me-
morial day scarlet and crimson would
take well. In snapdragons, white, yel-
low, pink and scarlet are suitable.

A few desirable sorts are: Cypripe-
ilium 4nsigne, C Sallieri, C. Sedenii, C.
villosum and C. Harrisianum; Coelogyne
iristata; Dendrobium nobile and D.
splendidissimum ; Lycaste Skinneri, L.

autumnalis, L. flava, L. acuminata and
L. albida; Epidendrum vitellinum majus;
Cattleya citrina ; Oncidium " varicosum'
Rogersii, O. tigrinum, O. ornithorhyn-

Bulb Stock.

While a few La Beine and Van Tholl
tulips appear on the market at Girist-
mas each year, they are invariably short-
stemmed and would have been much bet-
tol left until a month later. The same
holds good of the trumpet narcissi, for
while the French Trumpet Major niay
be had of fair quality, the Dutch stock
is too late. We doubt if the forcing of
these bulbs for Christmas pays, even at
somewhat enhanced prices; better far to
have them from the middle of January
onwards, when decently long stems are to

be had and better prices realized.

For the commercial grower. La Eeine
is the forcing tulip par excellence and
is rarely overdone. Its delicate pink
color during the winter months is pleas-
ing, more so than when it later assumes
its n^itural pure white shade. Succes-
sional batches of this tulip should be
housed every ten days. Do not bring
them in unless the plants are well started.
Keep them dark for a few days, to as-
sure presentably long stems. It is rather
early yet to force Cottage Maid, Keizers-
kroon, Proserpine, Yellow Prince and

other varietiee. They also will sell better
later in the winter.

Some of the Dutch hyacinths will now
be well sprouted and a few can be in-
troduced to heat. Draw them up well
before exposing them to the light. While
you have them in the dark, be careful
not to pour water in the center of the
growths or the tender flower spikes may
decay.

In addition to Trumpet Major narcis-
sus, Golden Spur should now be ready
for housing if placed in flais. Princeps
also comes in early, but while cheap, is a
rather flimsy flower.

Boman hyacinths want little forcing
now. They are better opened in a cool
house. One about 50 degrees at night
is warm enough. Paper Whites can
stand a little more forcing, but should
not be kept in a warm house after the
flowers start to open.

Weathtr reports indicate that winter
set in over a considerable section of the
continent early in December. In the
colder states, if the stock of bulbous
plants is plunged outdoors and has not
yet been protected, no time should be
lost in affording the necessary covering.
It is true we may have spells of open
weather, but do not be lured by these
mild intervals.

When the ground is hard frozen is a
suitable time to apply a mulching of
leaves or coarse strawy manure to bulb
beds outdoors. Do not make the cover-
ing a heavy one. The mulch is less for
protection than it is for preventing the
heaving of the ground after thaws.

Azaleas.

Christmas will soon be here and it be-
hooves us to look carefully after our
azaleas wanted at that season. Some of
the varieties, such as Hexe and Deutsche
Perle, will flower without hard forcing,
but other sorts will take considerable
pushing to time them rightly. Bemove
to a cooler house any which you are
sure will be flowered sufficiently. Give
the more backward ones frequent spray-
ings and a night temperature of 65 de-
grees.

Poinsettias.

Poinsettias are the most brilliant of
Christmas decorative plants. Pans of
well grown plants, which should be stocky

and furnished with foliage to the
ground, are good sellers. If your foliage
is not what it might be, mix a few
nephrolepis ferns in among the poin-
settias, or any other common fern you
may have in small pots.

As the bracts ^ould now be pretty
well developed, gradually lower the tem-
perature to 52 to 55 degrees at night.
This will harden the plants somewhat
and they will not mind the change, if
not too sudden. Do not give them a
lower temperature than this, or a loss
of foliage will be the result. Water
carefully and especially avoid an over-
supply. Try to k^p your foliage good,
and even if the bracts are not large the
plants will sell.

Berried Plants.

Ardisia crenulata is probably the best
of the Christmas berried plants. It
takes several years to grow a salable
plant, so we never find an oversupply in
the market. The berries hang on the
plant almost a year. The leaves are
tough and the ardisia will stand much
ill treatment without resenting it. They
do well in a cool house now, but can
be grown warmer while ripening the
berries.

The Jerusalem cherry, as Solanum
capsicastrum is called, is an easily grown
berried plant w^ich can be sold at a
popular price at the holidays. Let the
plants have plenty of water and grow
them cool. Christmas and Chili peppers
have some call at Christmas, but are
less desirable than ardisias and solanums,
and do not make nearly so good pot
plants.

English hollies are now arriving and
some of them are finely berried. The
beat are grown in small tubs, but some
are shipped with a ball, and if potted or
tubbed at once and kept well watered,
will soon look as bright as the estab-
lished ones. The same applies to Aucuba
Japonica, Skimmia Japonica and other
berry-bearing shrubs, which are mostly
imported at this time and make desir-
able stock for the festive season. These
imported shrubs, if they can be kept in
a cold greenhouse a few days before
going to the store, will wear better.

Primulas.

Chinese primroses, especially of scarlet

and crimson shades, make pretty Christ-
mas plants. They should now be in a
light and airy, but not too sunny, house,
kept at 45 to 50 degrees at night. A
warmer house will draw them too much.
These primulas must not be overwatered
and should never be sprayed overhead.
Primula obconica, apart from its poison-
ous effects on some people, is a useful,
cheap holiday plant. The brighter shades
will sell the most freely at this season.
Its persistent flowering qualities make
it specially valuable as a house plant.
We now hear little of the so-called but-
tercup primrose and the baby primrose,
P. Forbesi, has a decreasing band of
admirers. The newer P. Kewensis, of a
golden yellow color, promises, however,
to be a useful winter-flowering plant, al-
though it is not at its best until the
end of January. All the primulas need
cool, airy treatment and a dry atmos-
phere.

Cyclamen.

Cyclamens always prove one of the
best winter-flowering plants for store
sales, and any who have a batch with at
least a few flowers open on each for
Christmas will easily dispose of them.
Like primulas, cyclamens dislike cod-
dling. To keep them stocky grow them
cool and airy. The sun we get at this
season is beneficial to them. Do not at-
tempt the forcing of backward- plants.
You will only ruin them.

How are next year's seedlings coming
on? Do not allow them to become pot-
bound, nor should they be left in their
flats too long. They can be grown a few
degrees warmer than the flowering size
plants.

Lorraine Begonias.

That popular begonia, Lorraine, is
now somewhat overdone and does not
sell so well as a few years ago. At
that time few had mastered the grow-
ing of them and, while everyone cannot
handle them creditably today, many
more growers are able to produce fairly
good plants. In common with all flower-
ing stock needed for sales, the tempera-
tures in the houses should be reduced or
the plants moved to cooler quarters.
P'ifty degrees at night is now ample
for Lorraines, although 10 to 15 degrees
higher suits them better prior to the

flowering season. If you have a num-
ber of small plants which do not amount
to much individually, make them up sev-
eral together in small pans. Lorraine
■ begonias like full sunshine and should
not be sprayed overhead. Fumigation
with tobacco stems will ruin them un-
less lightly done. None of the begonias
will stand heavy fumigation without loss
of flowers.

Brief Reminders.

Dicentra spectabilis should be potted
soon after arrival. Keep in a coldframe
for a time.

Move out into a cooler house any of
the azaleas being forced for Christmas,
as they come into flower.

Get any » left over bulbs into the
ground at once, before frost seals it up
tight. ^

A little stevia will come in useful now.
Keep most of the plants as cool as pos-
sible without freezing, and move a few
boxes or pots into a warmer house
every week.

As the flowers develop on Romans and
Paper Whites, move into a cool house.
Have you a good batch coming on all
right for Christmas?

Keep berried solanums, ardisias and
Christmas peppers quite cool. All are
very useful Christmas berried plants.

Have plenty of covering ready for
outdoor plants needing it. Use it as
soon as the ground freezes solid.

Feed the Lorraine begonias. Give a
few ties where required. Less heat is
needed after the flowers start to open

VIOLETS FLOWERING POORLY.

I am growing Princess of Wales and
California violets, but as yet have been
getting few blooms. The plants appear
to be in good condition and have plenty
of buds scattered, but they are slow to
develop. I used one load of rotted ma-
nure to four of sod soil. I keep the
temperature down to 40 degrees at night,
but it runs up pretty high these bright
days. What do you think is the trouble!

I figure to grow sweet peas early in
the spring in the violet house, planting
between the rows. What time should I
plant so as not to interfere with the
violets and what are the best pinks and
whites? E. W. G.-

Very likely the trouble with your vio-
lets is that they were lifted too early.
Many florists and gardeners fail with
singles through planting thenv at the
same time as the doubles, which is en-
tirely wrong. They should not be housed
until they have had a good freezing and
if you leave them out another year un-
til the middle of October, your trouble

will probably disappear. Your tempera-
ture and treatment are all right. To im-
prove your crop for the balance of the
winter, allow the plants to have a good
freeze. Never mind if some of the ten-
der leaves are destroyed. Let the tem-
perature go down to 28 degrees. This
will help to check leaf growth and pro-
mote floriferousness.

The single violet season will be over
about April 1. Sow sweet peas early
in January. The seed may be placetl
either in flats of fine, sandy loam or in
small pots and later transferred to the
beds or benches. This will be found bet-
ter than sowing directly among the vio-
lets. By the time your violets are over,
your peas will be starting to yield some-
thing, and it may be necessary to remove
one row to give them a chance. A tem-
perature of 40 degrees at night is all
right for violets, but the peas prefer it
5 to 8 degrees higher, especially as they
near the flowering stage. The best forc-
ing varieties are Mont Blanc, pure white,
and Earliest of All, or Christmas Pink,
pink and white. C, W.

FAILURE WITH SINGLE VIOLETS.

Will you please tell me why my Prin-
cess violets do not flower better? I have
a bed 6x75. Two-thirds of this is Marie
Louise and the other third Princess.
Both were housed at the same time, Sep-
tember 15, in well enriched, loose, black
soil. The doubles are doing finely, but
tlie singles have very few flowers, and I
think too many leaves. The. latter look
very green and healthy. Is it possible
that the soil is too rich? It is niv first

year with the singles and I supposed they
would take the same soil as Marie Louise.
A good many of the few flowers that
come have very short stems, not more
than two inches, though the flower itself
is large and of good color. H. A. P.

Your failure with Princess of Wales
violets is not at all exceptional. It is
due to a cause which some of our best
growers have had to learn from experi-
ence, namely, too early housing. Double
violets require to be lifted early ; in fact,
many growers keep them under glass all
the time, but the singles need radically
different treatment. They should. never
be planted indoors before the early part
of October, and from the middle to the
latter part of the month is to be pre-
ferred. A good freezing is required to
stop leaf growth; otherwise you will get
an abundance of foliage at the expense
of flowers. A temperature -of 10 to 12
degrees below freezing will put the nec-
essary check on growth and not in the
least injure the plants.

Many people are unaware of how hardy
Princess of Wales violets are. Some
plants we left out last fall came through
the winter without any protection, al-
though exposed to temperatures 10 to 15
degrees below zero. One grower at least,
to our knowledge, leaves a large bed out
all winter, merely covering with salt hay
after the ground freezes, and gets a
splendid crop late in the spring.

The only way you can now benefit your
single violets will be to allow them to
freeze moderately in the house in order
to check the leaf growth. A little frost
will not hurt your Marie Louise, but no
doubt you could place some covering
over them to make sure that they are not
damaged. Try this plan and you will
find you will get more flowers, but not as
fine nor as many as if your plants had
been left outdoors a month later.

Next season do not house your sin-
gles until after a good frost.

A VISIT TO MADISON, N. J.

Mr. Tott/s Place

C. H. Totty is doing a large and in-
creasing business in chrysanthemums.
His trade, in fact, has grown so much
of late that he finds he will need to
restrict himself to the queen of autumn
or build more glass. Many of the best
single-stems had been cut for Madison
and other shows at the time of my visit,
but enough remained to satisfy anyone
that the quality would be haid to beat.
Among the new varieties I was par-
ticularly attracted by Mrs. W. Wells, a
bright bronzy-orange flower, similar in
form to Old Gold, but a larger and
better bloom. Mme. Simon Jossier is
a good incurved white, but the gem of
this color was W. Moir, with which Mr,
Totty won the gold medal at the C. S. A.
show in New York for the best novelty,
Dubuisson Foubert, tawny yellow, was
unique and of a pleasing color. Of the
older varieties Mrs. D. V. West seemed
to be weak-necked. Miss Miriam Hankey
was the best in the pink class. Lady
Hopetoun was also good. Dakoma,
bronze yellow, had the earmarks of a
good commercial variety.

Singles are being brought into promi-
nence at Madison, and Mr. Totty has a
fine collection of them. Some -of the
best were Kitty Bourne, Pretoria, Annie
Holden, Kathleen Bunyard, Golden Star
and Lily Beard in yellows; Irene Cragg,
Gertrude and Nancy Perkins, whites;
Nellie Coppard, Mrs. E. Eoberts, Lady-
smith, Mrs. Untermyer (new) and J. T.
Angus, pink; Crotvn Jewel, bronze; Mrs.
T. C. Warden, sulphury white; Miss
Baillie, Mary Kichardson, salmon red;
Hilda, deep orange. All these singles
are much better grown undisbudded, and
nearly all make excellent pot plants.

Florham Earms.

At Florham Farms we found A. Her-
rington, who escorted us over his im-

mense department. At the commercial
range, the large house, 40x200, of mums
was largely cut over, but sufficient re-
mained to show the high quality of the
blooms. Boses and carnations looked
well in several houses, Cattleyas, Tri-
ana?, labiata, Mossise and other stand-
ard varieties, filled several large houses.
Of Cypripediums Leeanum and i^signe,
Mr. Herrington has undoubtedly the fin-
est houses in the country. The wonder-
ful vigor of the plants is quite a reve-
lation. As many as 10,000 flowers of
C. insigne are cut in a season from one
house, Calanthe Veitchii filled a long
lean-to house. Bulbs were a foot long
in some cases, and spikes of great vigor,
as fine as I had ever seen. A span
house formerly occupied by Gros Colman
grapes is now planted with peas, beans
and tomatoes, Colmans at 50 cents per
pound at Christmas were not a paying
crop; hence the change. Some Muscats
still hung in the house devoted to them,
and were of a rich amber color. The
early grape house will be started about
December 1, In nectarines. Early Riv-
ers, Cardinal and Lord Napier are
grown,

A drive through the attractive and
fertile park brought us to the private
block of glass. Here are three divi-
sions of Adiantum Farleyense, much in
demand for large table decorations, and
splendidly grown. Three houses are de-
voted to melons. Royal Jubilee being
the favorite sort. Gardenias occupy one
house, Cattleya Trianse, newly imported,
another; the immense specimens of
azaleas some nine to ten feet across
still another. In another house some
specimen plants of double and single
chrysanthemums were in evidence. The
roomy palm house contained some superb
specimens. A pair of Kentia Belmo-
reana are probably the finest in the
country, and will soon be too large for
their present quarters.

housed at the time of our visit. Con-
siderable changes are in progress in the
way of terrace extensions and avenue
improvements, which will add to the at-
tractiveness of this fine estate.

At Mr. Duckham's.

At the Mrs. D. Willis James estate,
where W. Duckham presides, most of the
finest single-stem chrysanthemums had
been cut, but the quality of those re-
maining was first-class. A nice collec-
tion of singles were noted in pots. Th6
carnation house contained some really
magnificent flowers. Beacon, Robert
Craig, Enchantress, Patton, White Per-
fection and Britannia, the champion new
English scarlet, being the varieties
grown. Britannia showed up finely. So
far it is of dwarfer habit than Beacon
and Bobert Craig, but it carries an
immense scarlet flower and will be heard
from. Cosmos Lady Lenox, being ex-
tensively shown in the east just now,
originated here and is a fine thing. In
the orchid house a bank of Dendrobium
Phalaenopsis was attractive. The cattle-
yas looked well, some specially good C.
gigas being in baskets near the ridge.
Other divisions were occupied by roses
and various decorative plants.

WATERING AND VENTILATING.

Prom this time onward we usually ex-
perience a good deal of dark, sunless
weather, often accompanied by fogs and
rain. Greater care is now needed in wa-
tering all classes of plants, no matter
whether in benches, flats or pots. There
are still not a few growers who imagine
that a daily dose of aqua pura is needed
by every plant. These men are never
successful florists. Watering is a good
deal of a science and the man who has
mastered it can be relied upon to produce
good stock. At this season plants dry
out much more slowly and the hose in
careless hands speedily produces soggi-
ness at the roots, with the inevitable
sickly plants as testimony to its abuse.
It 13 much better now, with all plants,
to give too little water rather than too
much. Little harm will be done by al-
lowing pot plants to become fairiy dry
before watering them. Hard-wooded
stock will not stand absolute dryness, and
more careful watering is needed in the

case of ericas, acacias, azaleas and oth-
ers of this class, than with soft-wooded
subjects, such as calceolarias, cinerarias,
primulas and cyclamens.

We are not advocating anything ap-
proaching dusty dryness at the roots, but
experience will teach anyone that the
plants thrive the best in pots which are
never allowed to become wet and slimy
on the surface. Overwatering causes
sourness and this in turn ruins root ac-
tion.

In benches, as with pots, too much root
moisture must now be avoided. When
you water let it not be in driblets, but
thoroughly, and until you can see it run-
ning through the bottoms of the benches.
Do not water again until the surface

looks a little dry. If the soil has become
baked, give a scratching over before wa-
tering again. In syringing choose the
mornings of bright days, in order to have
the foliage dry before nightfall. Keep
some ventilation on the houses on every
possible occasion. Avoid anything in the
nature of coddling. Do not for one mo-
ment imagine that any of your plants
will long grow and thrive without some
fresh, pure air. As well expect human
beings to flourish in a house in which the
windows are never opened. In mild
weather a little night air should be left
on the houses. If you keep a night fire-
man of ordinary intelligence, ne will
speedily learn your wishes in this respect.

CARNATION NOTES -EAST.

Cutting the Blooms.

Cutting the blooms may appear to
some as a matter easily disposed of or
not worthy of much thought, when in
reality a great deal depends on its be-
ing properly done. It is the starting
point of the divine flower's career as a
messenger of expression, and as it is a
well known fact that many people hesi-
tate to send cut flowers to the sick or
convalescent for fear of their fading all
too soon, it is decidedly in our interest
to spare no effort to send the messenger
on its journey equipped to carry the
semtiment to be expressed.

We must not only use care in bring-
ing the blooms to the highest quality
possible, but so handle them at harvest
time that, whatever their mission, it
may not be in vain.

As stated in last week's notes, cutting
is best done in early morning, before
the sun is high enough to affect the in-
side temperature to any great extent,
or late in the afternoon, when similar
conditions exist.

In no case should blooms be taken
from plants suffering for water. You
may reason it out that such will revive
after standing in water for a time, and
perhaps they will, to a certain extent,
but the question is, how will they stand
up against the real thing!

While good results may be obtained
by breaking in place of cutting the
stems, it does not necessarily follow that
it is the better method.

At some seasons, under certain condi-
tions, the stems will break like glass
and it will be noticed that quite fre-
quently the break comes at a joint, just
above the leaves, furnishing a pocket
for the lodgment of moisture, but there
is no certainty about these matters. By
using a sharp knife — be sure it is sharp
— you are able to jnake a smooth, slant-
ing cut at any point, with absolute cer-
tainty, and with the assurance, too, that
the stem is in better shape to conduct
water and the stump to shed it and heal
than in the case of its having been
broken.

It is advisable to remove the two
lower pairs of leaves from the stems,
but before doing this, allow them to
stand in water for a time, as under no

circumstances should there be any un-
necessary exposure of freshly cut stem
ends to the air.

Provide a generous supply of vases.
Use fresh water, about the temperature
of the house from which the blooms were
cut. Avoid putting too many in a vase.
Stand them where the temperature will
not vary much from 45 degrees and
where they will, be out of drafts, but
nevertheless where the air is not stag-
■ant. Geo. S. Osborn.

CARNATION NOTES.- WEST.

Saving Blooms for Holidays.

You will pardon me if I repeat the
old story of pickling the blooms and
the consequences thereof. It seems that
every year some growers make the same
mistake, in spite of repeated warnings
and admonitions to send in all blooms
which will not keep in first-class condi-
tion until they are wanted. That there
must be a certain amount of storing up
goes without saying, else where would ail
the extra blooms come from? And if
the supply were kept at a normal vol-
ume and fifty per cent of the demand
had to go unsatisfied the complaining
about shortage would be louder even
than it is now about pickled stock. This,
however, should not be taken as an ex-
cuse for carelessness in saving up the
blooms.

The grower must discriminate between
the varieties which naturally keep well
and handle well after being water-
soaked. There are a few varieties which
can be kept several days and handle as
well as when first cut, while some of the
most extensively grown varieties are ren-
dered unfit for much handling after
standing in water three days. All the
Enchantress varieties seem to bruise very
easily when water-soaked, while the Law-
son varieties and Victory are among the
best for holding.

Look over your blooms carefully each
day in search of those which fail to
draw water properly. There will be a
percentage of such blooms, and it win
not pay you to mix them with the good
ones. By separating them from the
good blooms and accepting a fair price
for them you will be able to command
the top figure for your best stock.

When placing your blooms in water
do not crowd too many in a vase and
see that the blooms are supported prop-
erly. A fairly strong stem vdll often
be found insufBcient for holding up a
large bloom after it has soaked up
water for several days.

This question of caring properly for
the blooms is really of more importance
than the length of time they are kept.
If you are conscientious in sending in
only first-class stock, you are not Imely
to send in any which have been kept
too long. This, in short, covers ihe whole
question. If you are a wholesale grow-
er, consult your patrons frequently and
keep them advised correctly as to what
you will have and deliver when it is
wanted. In that way you can realize
the greatest gain from your products.

BEST CARNATIONS.

Although I do not profess to be an ex-
pert carnation grower, I think I have as
much right to say my piece as any large
grower. First I will say what I think
of last year 's novelties. I will put White
Enchantress ahead of White Perfection,
as it has a better stem and is a freer
bloomer. Pink Enchantress and Eose-
pink Enchantress are good enough for me.

I like Helen Gould very much; it is a
good grower and a fancy flower. For one
who retails his own stock it sells on
sight at 10 cents each or $1 per dozen
at tijnes when other stock sells at 4 or 5
cents.

Victory, in red, I cannot say much
about. It did not do well with me, but
I think I know where my mistake was,
as I grew it in the house all summer and
fed it highly. I will try it again next
year.

The old standard kind. Enchantress,
is my standby for light pink.' G. Lord is
my best pink for cheap flowers. Boston
Market is my bread and butter for cheap
white.

Next year I will grow Boston Market
and White Enchantress for white, Eose-
pink Enchantress, G. Lord and Winsor
for pink, Enchantress for light pink,
Victory and Crane for red. For new
kinds I will try Sarah Hill, Lawson-
Enchantress and Afterglow. I saw Aft-
erglow grown at its home and liked it.

Perhaps someone may not think I have
a good list to grow, but I am growing
the kinds that bring me the doUars. I
also keep my eyes open to look for others,
and when I get a good thing I keep it,
no matter whether it is old or new.

I will put up a new house for the En-
chantress family next spring.

FUMIGATING.

Please tell us what is the matter vdth
our Enchantress carnations. The ends
of the leaves are turning color. They

have a fine growth, some stems being
three feet long. They have been kept
at a temperature from 50 to 58 degrees,
never over or under, with plenty of air
both dajr and night. They were sprayed
with Nicoticide, after which they were
fumigated with tobacco stems, which
might have something to do with it.
Any information gladly received.

H. p.

It is quite possible that'you used the
Nicoticide too strong, or that the fumi-
gating was too strong in connection with
the spraying. You would have done
better to have skipped a day to allow
the Nicoticide to spend its strength be-
fore fumigating. If the house was too
warm the fumigating would have the
same effect. A. F. J. B.

DETERIORATION.

I send a few carnation blooms;
Glacier is the variety; also a few leaves
from Lawson, that appear to have been
burned at the tips. There seem to be
quite a number of the carnation blooms
affected in the same way. The trouble
seems to be confined to the one variety.
I thought perhaps it was thrips, but I
have been unable to discover any of
them. We had the same trouble with
them last year. Can you tell me the
cause for condition of each and what to
do for same? E. M.

Your trouble does not seem to be
caused by thrips, as the most careful ex-
amination fails to disclose any. We
have noticed these blooms on some va-
rieties, and at times quite numerous.
We cannot account for it, except that it
seems to be a weakness in the variety
and as the variety gets older and de-
teriorates, the trouble grows worse. We
have had seedlings do the same thing
when we were satisfied there were no in-
sects to cause it. There is no help for it
and I would advise you to discard the
variety and replace it with one of the
newer sorts. A. F. J. B.

it decidedly gains in many other
respects, for neatness, cleanliness, sys-
tem and order are the dominant fea-
tures here — and the stock produced is
invariably of a high grade, commanding
the highest prices in the Philadelphia
market.

It may be worthy of note that Mr.
Herr is d. stanch believer in the gospel
of cleanliness. His oflSce is a "thing
of beauty" — no rubbish or dust to be
seen anywhere; in fact, comparing most
favorably with the neat little parlor,
the pride of the careful housekeeper.
The same rule holds true as regards his
greenhouses, the results proving beyond
the shadow of a doubt that plants thrive
best where the environments are favor-
able.

Carnations are Mr. Herr's specialty,
and the best varieties are grown, as- a
matter of course. I need hardly add
that Mr. Herr has no blooms for the
rubbish heap. S.

LILIES FROM SEED.

If I plant hardy lilies of various kinds
in Ohio, can I cross themt I have never
seen any lilies form seed in Ohio, but I
do not know whether it is the climate or
what that prevents them. I am desirous
of doing some experimenting along this
line and should be pleased to have some
information as to what varieties would be
the most appropriate to use for the work
and also any details as to the way to suc-
ceed. How long does lily seed require to
germinate and to flower? W. D.

Many of the varieties of hardy lilies
rarely or never pfoduce seeds in Amer-
ica, including speciosum in variety, can-
didum, tigrinum, Brownii, excelsum, Chal-
cedonicum and some others. L. auratum
seeds freely, but the seeds do not, as a
rul^ germinate until the second season.
L.. Henryi seeds with great freedom, and
If crossed with some of the speciosum

varieties might give interesting results.
It has remarkable vigor, and its entire
freedom from disease commends it as a
seed-bearing parent. L. tenuifolium will
germinate the first year and occasionally
flower the second summer. The bulk,
however, of the hardy lilies require from
four to six years to produce blooming
size bulbs.

Some of the forcing lilies may be
raised more quickly. L. Harrisu and
longiflorum can be flowered in from one
to two years and L. Philippense in as

short a time as nine months from seed.
Unless you have infinite patience you
will find lily hybridization most tedious.
Stock may be increased more speedily by
means of scales or offsets, these latter
being produced freely from the stems of
some species. Seed can be sown either
outdoors or in a frame or cold green-
house, preferably the latter. "Well drained
pans containing light, sandy soil are suit-
able' for seed sowing. They should be
mulched with moss or some other cover-
ing until the seeds germinate. C. W.

SINGLE-FLOWERING MUMS.

The Vogue of the Singles.

For decorative effect in pots, the sin-
gle-flowering chrysanthemums, which
have attained vdde popularity in Europe
during the last two or three years, are
much superior to the double varieties.
The craze for big blooms, which is now
subsiding to some extent, led many grow
ers, on both private and commercial es-
tablishments, to utterly ignore the pom-
pon, anemone and single classes, and
even now in many places they are given
little attention. The C. S. A. has —
somewhat tardily, it is true — realized at
last the fact that the smaller flowered
sections demand recognition and there
is little doubt but that in the next few
years they are destined to displace, to
a considerable extent, the specimen
blooms, which even now are less inter-
esting and attractive to many visitors
at our exhibitions than the singles and

pompons. The big blooms are declining
in popularity both here and in Europe,
a& reports of nearly all exhibitions testi-
fy. There is no lessening in the public's
regard for the queen of autumn, how-
ever, as the growing interest in singles
shows.

Practically all the singles make good
pot plants, having, as a rule, a bushy
habit and, owing to the light weight
of the flowers, needing much less staking
than the doubles. In fact, some sorts,
like the old Mizpah and Zeroff, need
no supports at all, unless grown into
large plants, in which case a few short
stakes only are needed. Mizpah, rosy
pink, and Zeroff, yellow, make beautiful
bush plants, with foliage right, down to
the pots. Cuttings rooted in April make
fine plants in 8-inch pots, and, rooted as
late as July 1, make pretty little bushes
in .5-inch or 6-inch pots.

a wealth of material to choose from,
of almost every imaginable color. Cut-
tings of any of these, inserted late in
March or April, potted off into 3-inch
pots, shifted later to 5-inch and 7-inch
or 8-inch and kept pinched until the
middle of August, will make very salable
stock. Of course, bigger plants may
be grown if desired for exhibitions, in
which case a start could be made a
month earlier. The plants may be grown
either out of doors after June until Sep-
tember 1, or under glass. The latter
system will give the best foliage. Cut-
tings put in as late even as August 1
and potted along will make nice little
plants for window boxes or for finishing
off the edges of groups. I , have not
tried them planted outdoors and lifted,
but think pot culture is to be pre-
ferred.

Grown in boxes or benches, the sin-
gles produce splendid sprays for cut-
ting. In water these keep better than
the double varieties, while for table
decorations they are vafUy superior. A
great mistake made by some growers is
in disbudding the flowers. This "should
never be done, as it utterly ruins their
character and beauty.

Some Good Varieties,

Some of the more desirable sorts to
grow are: Ladysmith, light pink; this
makes a very bushy plant, which needs
but little staking; Nancy Perkins, a
good early white, flowers rather small;
Annie Holden, yellow; Edith Pagram,
light pink, center of flower almost white,
one of the best for pot plants and
cutting; Pretoria, yellow; Kathleen Bun-
yard, pink; Gertrude, white; Stella,
white ; Mrs. E. Roberts, soft pink ; Irene
Cragg, white; Miss T. C. Warden, sul-
phur yellow; Kitty Bourne, yellow;
Mrs. Baillie, red; and Mary Richardson,
deep orange, shaded with red, a beauti-
ful color under artificial light. There
are a host of other sorts, but the fore-
going comprise some of the best.

SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Many of the newer varieties of the
single-flowered chrysanthemums are pass-
ing into the stage when size becomes a
noticeable feature. The coloring in many
has of late years been intensified, and
the singles are certainly charming flow-
ers for decorative work. In build there
seems to be a tendency to encourage a
light, long floret, instead of a short, stiff,
flat one which characterized many of the
earlier introductions. One of the most
popular varieties is Ladysmith.

"There are so many now in cultiva-
tion," says C. Harman Payne, "that I
can only mention a few of the most re-
cent or the most attractive of those al-
ready known, which I have seen in good
form this season. Blushing Beauty is a
wonderful bloomer; the flowers are large
and colored a delicate rosy blush, with a
yellow center. Miss E. Partridge is a
neatly-built bloom of almost the same
color as Ladysmith; the florets are flat.

Derrydown has broad, flat florets, and in
color is a reddish shade of terra cotta,
with a yellow center. "White Duelfess is
a free-flowering, pure white variety; the
blooms are large and the florets flat and
stiff. Progress is a striking variety, of
terra cotta color passing to golden yellow
at the base of the florets. Florence
Adams has long florets folded over; they
are white, shaded blush toward the ex-
tremities. Mrs. E. Allen has large flow-
ers of rosy-amaranth shade and long,
stiff florets. J. Fergusson is a sport
from Mary Anderson; the flowers are
pale pink, with white base and yellow
center. Mary Richardson has rich
golden flowers, colored a warm shade of
terra cotta, with yellow center. Emile has
medium-sized flowers of a pale shade of
rosy mauve, with yellow cente^; the flo-
rets are narrow. Bessie Payne has a
high center and flat florets of a pretty
shade of pinkish mauve. The variety is
free, and the flowers are effective.
Among others noted in good form are
Edith Pagram, Emily Clibran, Merstham
White, Acme, Ideal, Golden Fleece, Pink
Beauty, Miss Mary Anderson and Miss
Annie Holden. ' '

THE POPULARITY OF MUMS.

William Duckham, of Madison, N. J.,
maintains that the great popularity of
the chrysanthemum is due to the huge
exhibition varieties. In support of that
opinion Mr. Duckham spoke as follows,
in the introductory part of his address
before the Chrysanthemum Society of
America, at New York, November 6:

"The chrysanthemum continues its
prosperous and undisturbed march down
the wide avenue of popularity. We are
a year older; the chrysanthemum also
has added, another year to its career, but
it is not a year older; it is more youth-
ful and full of vitality and capable of
new and fresher development than it was
a year ago. We are distinctly older,
and may have some parsing twinges in
the bones to remind us of that very dis-
turbing fact. The chrysanthemum is
fresher and more beautiful and more
varied and even a little larger than ever.

. chrysanthemum now has its place and
its honor. Its forms seem almost end-
less and its varieties are bewildering,
I am, however, inclined to think that
some excellent people entirely miss the
real explanation of the great popularity

• which the flower now enjoys. Permit
me to say, with all conviction and ear-
nestness, that the popularity is entirely
due to the growing of exhibition vari-
eties. I am convinced that if you were
to secure all the flower shop windows
on Broadway and fill them with pompons,
and with every other variety that grows
and flowers at this season, and omit en-
tirely the exhibition varieties — I am con-
vinced, I say, that they would attract no
popular attention whatever. I grant that
flower-lovers of the old-fashioned vari-
ety, who worship constantly at Flora's
shrine, no matter what she has to display,
would view them with pleasure; but the
greater public, the Press Society, and
even ' the man in ■ the street, ' would
pass them unnoticed.

"The splendid position in popular and
social esteem now held by the flower is
due to that wonderful development from
the tiny little parent flower to these mas-
sive blooms that now entrance every be-
holder. If we had here before us the
'blooms that were exhibited even ten or
twelve years ago, even we who know
the history of the flower would be dum-
founded at the progress, and I mjike
bold to say that the end is not yet. The
flowers which only the few could pro-
duce when the shows first began are
now produced by the many, and the lead-
ers are more closely pushed by their fol-
lowers year by year. And, as the blooms
increase in size, in finish, in brilliance of
color, in > decorative quality, so also does
the popularity of the chrysanthemum in-
crease. The growing of larger, nobler,
"iP^'e, stately flowers, and in greater
abundance— this is one sure way of hold-
ing the popular favor."

COMMERCIAL FERNS.

The list of ferns suitable for retail
sales is not very extensive, but there are
several varieties which are not generally
known to the average grower who makes
ferns a side line and not a specialty. Be-
yond ferns of the nephrolepis varieties,
comparatively few are sold in large num-
bers in pots, although quite a variety
may be suggested. The saying that a
good article usually sells itself is equally
applicable to florists' products, and a

clean grown, bushy fern shouid not ordi-
narily be difficult to sell.

Those florists who have used Poly-
stichum tsussimense for dishes know how
well such a dish looks, particularly with
a cocos in the center, or a graceful
Geonoma gracilis. Another useful fern
of a similar texture in the frond, dwarf
and tough, besides being variegated,
Polystichum aristatum variegatum, is to
be recommended.

The tinted ferns present an assortment
which, to those who demand something
choice, cannot be surpassed. Adiantum
macrophyllum, A. rhodophyllum and
Doodia aspera multifida are three of the
best, inasmuch as they are dwarf in
habit.

Among the variegated varieties Pteris
VictorisB, P. albo-Uneata and P. Mayii
are good and, for dishes entirely of
green, among the most common may be
mentioned Cyrtomium falcatum, Asplen-
ium biforme, Pteris serrulata, P. serru-
lata cristata, P. nobilis, P. Wimsetti, P.
cristata, Blechnum occidentale, Lomaria
Spicant, and numerous others.

The selaginellas are worthy of con-
sideration. Selaginella Kraussiana, usn
ally called Lycopodium denticulatum, is
frequently used for dishes, but the va-
riety aurea and variegata make a pleas-
ant change, although the true glaucous
tint of Selaginella ceesia (S. uncinata
csesia) is quite unsurpassed and it is a
good seller because of its pretty, unique
appearance.

Among the davallia some of the best
known are Davallia dissecta, D. Tyer-
manni, D. buUata, D. Canariensis and D.
Fijensis, the first three varieties being
suitable for dish work. Davallia dissecta
is easily raised from spores, besides hav-
ing dense foliage, and is especially recom-
mended.

Beyond the nephrolepis group perhaps
Cibotinm Schiedei is the only fern usu-
ally seen in 6-inch pots. I maintain that

of these two. With its dark green, shiny
fronds it makes a graceful and durable
plant, and, indeed, Pteris major of the
Drinkwaterii type, when grown nearly
a yard through, besides being clean and
of dense foliage, always proves a choice
subject.

I might go on ad infinitum, but the
subject is too comprehensive to be dealt
with in all its phases. From the com-

mercial point of view the ferns men-
tioned are all well tried and are profit-
able to grow when done properly. The
culture is not diflScult except in a few
cases. Keep the foliage dry over night,
give plenty of room and light, with an
occasional pinch of manure when well
rooted, and attention to the watering,
and one cannot go far wrong. And va-
riety in the stock is desirable.

THE WYNDMOOR ROSE.

With all the excitement about the new
roses which are to be disseminated next
spring, it is worth while to keep in mind
that there are candidates already in sight
for 1909. One of these is the cheerful
pink rose, Wyndmoor, a house of which
is shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion. This is from a photograph taken
September 22, at the establishment of
Myers & Samtman, Wyndmoor, Chestnut
Hill, Philadelphia. After being cut off
entirely August 22, the cut from Sep-
tember 11 to September 30 was 6,630
salable buds from 1,560 plants and the
house was in full crop again October 1.
At the meeting of the American Rose So-
^ ciety at Washington last March the rose
scored 83 points and was granted a cer-
tificate of merit. Growers visiting the
establishment of the E. G. Hill Co., Rich-
mond, Ind., will find Wyndmoor blooming
there this winter.

MANCHESTER, MASS.

December 6 the North Shore Horticul-
tural Society had the pleasure of listen-
ing to a lecture on the subject of * ' Land-
scape Architecture" by J. Woodward
Manning, of Beading. Mr. Manning
covered the subject as fully as was pos-
sible in the time, commencing with the
landscape architect and classing some of
the requirements necessary for success
as being "some college education or
training, extensive travel, knowledge of
building architecture, engineering, soil
and soil requirements, plants and plant
requirements; he must be well read, a
good d»aughtsman and above all he must
possess good taste. ' ' The formal and
informal style of landscape architecture
have each enjoyed alternate periods of
popular favor. The speaker, not being
a faddist, did not advocate either to the
exclusion of the other, but rather that
natural existing conditions must be taken
advantage of and improved upon, re-
taining everything of beauty, broaden-
ing or creating vistas and bringing the
whole estate into complete harmony and

restfulness to the vision and the senses.
Mr. Manning referred to the great
achievements of the late Frederic Law
Olmsted, and how much the present gen-
eration owes to his genius and skill.
Continuing, the speaker briefiy touched
on road, or drive-making to suit differ-
ent conditions, bridges, catch-basins, gut-
ters, the making of lawns, the various
styles of gardens; formal, herbaceous,
rock and wild flower gardens with refer-
ence to plants suitable for each; the
fruit and vegetable garden, shrub beds,
plantations to cover unsightly objects,
hedges for boundaries, and trees for in-
dividual planting for shade or orna-
mental purposes.

In the discussion which followed Mr.
Manning deplored the needless friction
which has too often occurred between
the landscape architect and the gardener.
He stated that the ultimate success of
the architect's efforts rested with the
gardener. His position on that matter
was that after the engineering problems
were overcome and the final plans were
accepted, they should be turned over
to the gardener and that he should
complete the work or at least he should
be consulted on all matters, especially
the selection of shrubs and flowering
plants, as he knows the requirements of

the place and is the one looked to for
after results.

A vote of thanks was extended to Mr.
Manning by a large and appreciative
audience, after which the refreshment
committee took charge and provided their
share of the evening's entertainment.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Trade was quiet last week, there being
no particular rush for aily kind of stock.
Carnations continue short in supply, but
there are enough to fill all orders.
Violets and valley have moved slowly,
having to be forced on the buyer, which
means low prices. Romans, Paper
Whites and lilies have been coming i^
quite heavily, but the scarcity of funeral
work has made them a drug, also.

Various Notes.

The James Eadie Co. has been cutting
a fine lot of late mums since Thanksgiv-
ing.

W. A. .Calhoun has completed his new
houses at East Cleveland and now has a
strictly up-to-dafe retail establishment.

The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. is in its
new quarters at 231-235 High street,
where it has double the space formerly
occupied. The firm now has 5,000 square
feet of floor space, in a new concrete
building constructed especially for the
wholesale trade.

Smith & Fetters had a beautiful win-
dow decoration December 7, composed
of novelties in decorated boxes.

C. A. Bramley has been busy with
large orders for Christmas wreaths.

Geo. W. Mercer, of the west side, has
twenty-five girls making Christmas
greens, etc., selling large quantities at
wholesale.

HOW IS BUSINESS

AND WHAT PROMISE DOES
1908 HOLD our FOR YOU?

Alabama.

Montgomery. — Business is running
ahead of any previous year. Collections
have been slow, on account of so much
cotton, our staple crop, being unsold. For
the same reason, and because it will
bring a higher price when sold, the pros-
pect for 1908 is good.— W. B. Pattee-
SON.

Arkanaat.

Eureka Springs, — Chrysanthemum
blooms have sold well here this year and
we confidently expect a' much better
trade next year. — C. ,S. Barnett.

Oallfomla.

Los Angeles. — Business has been very
good, as good as last year, if not bet-
ter. Next year cannot help but go ahead
of 1907 here, as the growth of Los An-
geles is phenomenal. Besides, a presi-
dential year, with political obligations,
helps the florist, however it may affect
other lines of business. — F. Edward
Gray.

LoOMis. — Orders are commencing to
come in and no doubt we soon will all
be doing a good business. Everyone is
getting ready for it.— H. S. McGowan.

Colorado.

Colorado Springs, — Business to date
has been equal to that of last year.
Commercial interests throughout the
country seem to be sound, and any ex-
isting trouble has the earmarks of quick
recuperation. — Pikes Peak Floral Co,

Conneotiont.

New Haven. — Business has been far
in excess of last year. We have had
ready sales and good prices. Stock in
general was never better. The prospects
for a busy Christmas are good. — Charles
Mtjnro.

norlda.

Neptune. — I find that there is an in-
creasing demand for my specialty. As-
paragus plumosus nanus sprays, and 1908
promises to be a good business year with
me. — Herbert A. Pennock.

Xllinols.

Danville. — I am looking forward to
a larger business than ever in 1908. —
B. E. Wadsworth.

booming and I expect it to be good in
1908,— L. Stapp.

Indiana.

Anderson. — Our business is good. We
have no kick coming. — Stuart & Haugh.

Kanaas.

Hutchinson, — Business was a little
quiet in October and November, but De-
cember started in good. Crops in this
country are good and we expect trade to
improve. — John Stamm,

Kentucky.

Danville,— In spite of the financial
flurry, which cut down our November
-sales somewhat, we think we will come
out equal to, if not ahead, of 1906, As
for 1908, crops of all kinds have been
good^ and prices good, and I can see
nothing but prosperity for the coming
year,— S. M. Harbison,

Maryland.

Hagerstown, — The year 1908 holds
out to me the brightest prospects. — A.

I can see why business should not be as
good as last year, if not better. — W. W.

a trifle slack, it is now resuming its
normal condition and we are looking for-
ward to a good Christmas trade. There
will certainly be no surplus of good
stock. — Clinton Falls Nursery Co.

• Montana.

Livingston. — Business is good, and if
1908 brings forth what I expect, it will
be even more prosperous than 1907. — E.

F. KiRKLAND.

Vebraaka.

Hastings. — Business is good. Nearly
everybody is prosperous and has money,
and conditions are favorable for another
good year. — Charles W. Winkler.

Holdrege, — Our sales for November
ran about fifteen per cent above those
of the same month last year. We are
now better equipped than before to meet
all possible demand and we expect 1908
to far exceed the present year. — David-
son Floral Co.

Grand Island. — The year 1908 ought
to be a banner year. We have had good
crops for several years, and consequently
the people are prosperous. — Brewster
& Williams.

North Dakota. «

Valley City. — Business is improving
again and we are looking forward to a
prosperous year, for this country will be
in a splendid condition as soon as the
crops can be marketed. — Charles E.
Moore.

Okie.

Kinsman. — My business is growing
steadily every year. If my life and
health are spared, I have no reason to
expect anything different for the com-
ing year. — Frank Banning.

Malta. — This has been the most pros-
perous year in my business and I do not
see any decrease in the demand. — W. C.

SCOVELL.

HiLLSBORO, — I am entirely sold out
and orders still coming by every mail, I
received four orders today and it breaks
my heart to return the currency, which I
have to do, I came to the conclusion
that with right stock, in right season,
at right prices, and a little "ad" in the
Review, you will have nothing but empty
houses to look into in the fall of 1908.
You will surely hear from me whenever
I have any surplus stock, — Simon J.

HiDEB.

Oklahoma.

Nowata. — Everything looks bright
here, in our new state, and I am mak-
ing arrangements to enlarge my busi-
ness next year. There is no place under
the shining sun where there are better
opportunities than here, — Cass Lanning,

Oreffon.

Salem, — ^Business with us is fair, con-
sidering that we are young in the trade.
With the recently completed electric con-
nection with Portland, the metropolis of
the state, the prospect looks brighter
for the coming year. — Mason Bros.

Tezaa.

San Anqelo. — The promises for 1908
are good. The city is growing tremen-
dously and the country is filling up with
settlers. Another railroad from Kansas
City will be running by the first of the
vear, wluch will give us an increased out-
of-town market. The southwest is pros-
perous, in spite of the overspeculation
north and east, and when people are
prosperous they will buy flowers. — J. J.

NUSSBAUMEB.

South Carolina.

Charleston. — ^We cannot complain.
During the last month we have done bet-
ter than in any month of November in
years. December has not started quite
so well. — Carolina Floral Co.

. South Dakota.

Pierre. — We look for a gradual in-
crease in our business for 1908. Our
town is growing and we think the growth
will continue. The development of
towns to the west of us will undoubtedly
add to the volume of business. — Enoe &
Barney.

Sioux Falls. — ^Business has been very
good; fine demand for flowers all fall.
— Jos. TOSINI.

Aberdeen. — With me business has
been very satisfactory all through 1907.
Th^re has been an average increase of
twenty-five per cent over 1906. I look
forward to 1908 with the expectation of
a still greater increase. — R. Strohmeier.

Deadwood. — Business has been good
this year and is growing steadily. I in-
tend to* build another house in the
spring. — Andrew Daniels.

Vermont.

West Derby. — During the last six
months we have had larger sales here
than in any corresponding months of
previous years. November sales were
double those of last November. Money
is plentiful and people are buying free-
ly, so I say the outlook is good for 1908.
— H. J. Ball.

been larger than in previous years.
Everything in my greenhouse is in first-

packing during the last few weeks and
are much pleased with the way the or-

DETROIT.

The Market.

Indications all point to better busi-
ness than we had last week. People
seem to be getting a little more confi-
dence. The market remains well cleaned
up of all good stock. The few Beauties
on this market seldom go begging.
There is a good demand for roses, the
price ranging from 3 cents to 8 cents.
Chrysanthemums are a back number.
There are still a few to be seen, but
there is little or no call for them. Car-
nations meet with a good demand.
Green stock of all kinds is plentiful.
The first holly arrived in town Decem-
ber 9.

Club Meeting.

But a smaU percentage of the mem-
bers turned out for the meeting Decem-
ber 4. Probably they are still resting
up after the strenuous times of the
dance. T. G. Phillips was unanimously
elected a member. Mr. Phillips is en-
gaged in the landscape gardening busi-
ness in this city.

Albert Pochelon, of the exhibition
committee, reported that the last club
show cost the club only about $30. The
expenses of the hall, lunch, printing, etc.,
were just about met by the funds secured
through selling the exhibition flowers.
Several kicked about selling the flowers,
but there is no reason why they should,
as the grower is benefited by these local
shows just as much as the retail man.
One retail man showed a lot of mums
from his own greenhouses and bought
all his own stock back at a good price
and never said a word about it. This is
the right spirit.

Herman Knope spoke about the Toledo
show. He made special note of Mr.
Bayer's fine lot of mums. He stated
that despite the fact that the florists
lost a little money, they were well
pleased and are already planning a more
elaborate show for next year. The out-
side growers did much toward making
the Toledo show a success.

Several of our members are enthusias-
tic about a show in February. The idfea
is to have it one afternoon and even-
ing, devoting the afternoon to viewijjg
the exhibits and the reading ^f some
good papers, and in the evening have the
show open to an invited public. This
will be further discussed the evening of
the next meeting, December 18.

A resolution was adopted to convey
the sympathy of the members to Mrs.
Hauswirth and a telegraph message dis-
patched.

The outlook for Christmas was dis-
cussed. The members were bound to
take an optimistic view of the situation,
despite the fact that business at present
is not rushing. Some even thought busi-
ness would be ahead of last year, as
many people will buy a plant of flowers
instead of jewelry or other expensive
presents. Business seems to have picked
up the last few days and the writer is of
the opinion that we will have a good
Christmas.

At the request of Wm. Dilger our
president gave a very amusing rehearsal
of his talk before the Twentieth Century
Club. Both he and the secretary seem to
have had quite a struggle with them-
selves to keep from running away.

Various Notes.

Fred Pantke is sending in some fine
rweet peas. He expects to have a good

crop of red Mrs. Wirtz sweet peas for
Christmas.

The Detroit Cut Flower Exchange is
handling some fine Brides and Maids.
H. S.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Eecent wintry conditions have short-
ened supplies somewhat, but trade is not
so brisk as it might be. Chrysanthe-
mums are nearly over, although some
will be in evidence until Christmas.
Bonnaffon, Nonin, Maud Dean and Gold-
en Dome are the varieties mostly seen.
These sell quite well at present. Koses
are not in heavy crop, but are ample for
all requirements. Beauties are fine,
while no better Killarneys were ever seen
in the market. Brides and Maids now
have stems of something like winter

"We take pleasure in saying the
readers of «

are quick to see the merits of a new
idea. Our advertisement of Sunlight
double-glass sash for hotbeds and cold-
frames has brought us inquiries from
florists all over the country and we
ahready have you to thank for many
sales of trial lots. We rely on the
merit of our sash to bring larger or-
ders next year.

length. There is no special change in
prices on roses.

Carnations remain much the same. The
finest quality bring $4 per hundred, while
common grades bring as low as $1.50.
Enchantress, Rose-pink Enchantress,
Helen Goddard, Victory, Beacon, "White
Perfection and Winsor are all good, the
last named being, however, rather short-
stemmed. Violets are doing a little bet-
ter, quite a few making $1. There are
plenty of Paper "Whites and Roman hya-
cinths coming in and an abundance of
stevia.

Lilies and callas are not abundant.
Some nice mignonette, bouvardia and
poinsettias are seen. There is a fair call
for green stock. The near approach of
Christmas is attested by quantities of
laurel and other wreaths and an abund-
ance of other evergreen decorative ma-
terial at the commission houses. The
flower markets do not handle much of
this trade.

Horticultural Society.

At a meeting of the board of trustees
December 7 the following, among other
new committees for 1908, were appoint-
ed: Prizes and Exhibitors — J. K. M. L.
Farquhar, chairman; General F. H. Ap-
pleton, "W. J. Stewart, Peter Fisher, "W.
N. Craig, Edward MacMulkin. Plants

hibits— Mrs. R. G. Shaw, chairman; Miss
Rose HoUingsworth, Mrs. E. M. Gill,
Miss Helen Callamore.

A motion w^s unanimously adopted
recommending the appropriation of $50
for an affiliation fee with the Chrysan-
themum Society of America. The
finance committee approved the recom-
mendation. A motion was also carried,
to the effect that the schedule for 1909
be printed not later than May 1, 1908.

Club Notes.

A special electric car, kindly fur-
nished by S. J. Goddard, will leave Park
square at noon, December 14, to carry
club members and friends to the Fram-
ingham field day. J. T. Butterworth will
be first visited, next S. J. Goddard 's and
the afternoon will close at "William Nich-
olson's, from which place the special car
will carry the party direct to Boston. A
large delegation is already assured.

In lieu of holding ladies ' night Decem-
ber 17, as at first planned, this event has
been postponed. W. J. Stewart will read
a paper on "The Innocents Abroad"
and there will be other interesting fea-
tures. The exhibit tables promise to
be unusually attractive.

The landscape gardening classes in
charge of B. K. Howard and Daniel A.
Clark are being well attended. Half a
dozen more students only can be accom-
modated.

"Various Notes.

"W. "W. Edgar remains in a critical con-
dition and his illness arouses much sym-
pathetic comment among his many
friends. Mr. Edgar's sons, Robert S.
and Frank, are doing yeoman work dur-
ing their father's illness, being ably
helped by H. H. Bartsch, their popular
salesman.

The Haskell Seed and Implement Co.
has opened for business at 21 South
Market street, occupying the building re-
cently vacated by A. D. Bramer. Messrs.
L. B. Haskell and "Webster are members
of the firm, which will do a general
business in garden and farm seeds, im-
plements, etc. The location is a central
one, between the firms of Farquhar &
Co. and Schlegel & Pettier Co.

Houghton & Clark are displaying some
fine specimen plants of Adiantum Far-
leyense. They have, as usual, a good
show of seasonable orchids. A large
bowl of orange calendulas last week was
quite effective.

Galvin is showing some extra good
azaleas, Lorraine begonias and poinset-
tias. His orchid display is always in-
teresting,

H. M. Robinson & Co. have received
large consignments of boxwood, holly,
laurel and other Christmas greens and
will need to work long days with a large
force until after the holidays.

"Waban Conservatories are sending in
some splendid Killarney roses, with stems
two to three feet long. They hope to
have a heavy cut of all roses for Christ-
mas.

H. E. Fiske & Co. are making a spe-
cialty of dwarfed Japanese evergreens,
of which they have a fine assortment, for
the holidays. "W. N. Craio.

The Market.

Trade is moving along nicely. Every
one is busy getting things in shape for
Christmas. As far as business is con-
cerned, there is nothing pushing and
not much trouble getting all the stock
that is needed.

Various Notes.

The club held its regular meeting De-
cember 3 and the most important thing
done was arranging for a rose night,
•when it is proposed to award prizes for
the stock exhibited. A committee was
appointed to provide the same. This show
will be in connection with the regular
meeting and a large attendance is looked
for.

will be found in the obituary column on

ONCINNATL

The Market.

While business is fair, there is noth-
ing extraordinary doing and no one is
rushed. Several good decorations used
up a lot of flowers and there was a
good deal of funeral work as well, but
had it not been for that there would
have been a glut of roses. As it is, this
flower is just about able to maintain the
advance in price made at Thanksgiving.
A good many are being received by the
wholesale houses every day and it is
about all they can do to make them move
at the quoted prices. As is usually the
case in this market, however, there are
none too many red roses and Beauties.
The latter rose was called for quite fre-
quently and many more could have been
sold than were received.

Carnations are still the scarce article
and there is every prospect that they
will remain so until after the holidays at
least. Wm. Murphy, in speaking of the
supply, said that there were not enough
being cut out of the many plants at
Murphyville to pay the coal bill and that
it would be along in February before

there would be anything like a good
crop in. He said that the plants were
looking fine and appeared to be growing
well, but all were late and no one had
been able to get a crop except those
who had housed very early. It appears
that there is a slow increase in the cut,
and if only a good crop will be in by
Christmas it will do a whole lot toward
making up for the scarcity this fall.

A few good mums are still to be had
and they are mighty good property, as
they always are at this time of the year.
What few come sell out at sight and
bring top prices; in fact, better than
at any time during the season. G.
Brunner's Sons have a large lot of late
ones that will be in fine shape for the
holidays and they will easily realize 25
cents each for them.

Violets are in good demand, and both
double and single are selling well. The
New York violets are fine this year and
those from Virginia are up to their usual
standard. The singles grown in this lo-
cality are fine and they bring the highest
price of all.

The market is well supplied with green
goods. Bronze galax leaves were scarce
for a while, but plenty of green were
on hand. Boxwood is selling well and
large quantities of it are being handled
by the wholesale houses. From all indi-
cations, good holly will be a scarce ar-
ticle this year. At the present time it
is almost impossible to obtain any that
will pass muster. We suppose that at
the last moment there will be plenty of
it to be had, but at present the prospects
are none of the best and the reports
from the woods are not very encourag-
ing.

Various Notes.

Richard Witterstaetter reports a good
lot of seedlings this year. He is one
of the lucky ones and has been having a
good cut of carnations all the fall. At
present he is slightly off crop, but hopes
to make it for Christmas.

C. P. Dieterich & Bro., of Maysville,
Ky., have just finished remodeling their
retail store. A new front was put in
and the entire store painted and put
into the best possible shape. This firm

does a large florists' business and also
goes heavily in for nursery stock.

I regret to report the death of Mr.
Roll, father-in-law of James Allan. Mr.
Roll was quite an elderly man, but his
death, which was sudden, was neverthe-
less a great blow.

The news of the death of P. J. Haus-
wirth was sadly received by his many
friends in this city.

C. W. Ward, of Queens, Long Island,
accompanied by Mr. Potter, stopped over
in this city long enough to make a few
calls upon friends. They were on their
way to Virginia to attend an important
board meeting.

B. P. Critchell was attacked by a dog
and his right hand was severely bitten.
The wounded member is doing nicely
and it is to be hoped that nothing serious
will result. C. J. Ohmer.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

The week after Thanksgiving, trade
was fairly good, but far from satisfac-
tory when taken as a whole. The weather
has been pleasant; in fact, too nice for
good trade. It wiU take cold weather
to create a good demand. This alone
will stimulate the trade for the coming
holidays and make it satisfactory to us
aD. Some of our uptown florists have
been quite busy with wedding and re-
ception decorations, while the downtown
florists had funeral work. The north
end and south end florists say that trade
is not at all steady in any one line. We
cannot say that stock at the four whole-
sale houses was overplentiful last week.
Shipping trade aided greatly in using up
the surplus.

Chrysanthemums are over for this sea-
son. Last week a few Jerome Jones and
Chadwick came in, but this week none
are to be had. This, of course, makes a
better demand for roses, which are sell-
ing well and are of good quality. Chate-
nay, Killamey, Richmond, with Bride
and Maid, are plentiful. Long Beauties
are limited, with plenty of shorts. Car-
nations are a little scarce at present. En-
chantress, White Perfection, Lawson,

Club Meeting.

But a small percentage of the mem-
bers turned out for the nu^eting Decem-
ber ■]. Probably they are stiil resting
up after the strenuous times of the
dance. T. (i. Phillips wa'< unanimously
electe«J a member. Mr. J'hillijis i.s en-
gaged \in the landscajie gardening busi-
ness iiwtltis city.

Albert I'ochelon. of the exhibition
conunittee. rejiorted that the last chib
show cost the club only about .f-'iO. The
expenses of the hall, luueh, jjriutiug, etc..
were just about met by the funds secured
through selling the exhibition tlowers.
Several kicked about selling the tlowers,
but there is no reason why they should,
as the grower is benefited "by these local
shows just as much as the retail man.
One retail man showed a lot of mums
from his own greenhouses and bought
all his own stock back at a good price
and never said a word about it. This is
the right spirit.

Herman Knojie spoke about the Toledo
show. He maile special note of .Mr.
Bayer's fine lot of mums. He state<l
that despite the fact that the florists
lost a little money, they were well
pleased and are already ])!anning a more
elaborate show for next year. The out-
side growers did much toward making
the Toledo show a success.

Several of our members are enthusias-
tic about a show in February, The idea
is to have it one afternoon and even-
ing, devoting the afternoon to viewing
the exhibits and the reading of some
good papers, and in the evening have the
show ojien to an invited public. This
will be further discussed the evening of
the next meeting. I)ecend)er 1^.

A resolution was adoiited to convey
the synijiathy of the members to Mrs.
Hauswirth and a telegrajih message dis
patched.

The outlook for Christinas w;is dis-
cussed. The members were botmd to
take an optimi-~lic view of the situation.
despite the fa^t that business at i)re«;ent
is not milling. Some ( ven tlnuiglit busi-
ness Would lie ahf.Kl of last year, as
many jiei.pjr will buy a plant of tlowers

presents. Busines-; seems to have picked
up the last few days and the writer is of
the opinion that \ve will ha\e a good
Christmas.

At the request of Wm. Dilger our
president gave a very amusing rehearsal
of his talk before the Twentieth Century
Club. Both he and the secretary seem t<i
have had quite a struggle with them-
selves to keep from running away.

Club Notes.

A special electric car, kindl.y fur-
nished by S. J. Goddard, will leave Park
square at noon,' December 14, to carry
club members and friends to the I'ram-
ingham field day. J. T. Butterworth will
be first visited, next S. J. Goddard 's and
the afternoon will close at W'illiam Nich-
olson's, from which place the special car
will carry the party direct to Boston. A
large delegation is already assured.

in lieu of hokling ladies' night Decem-
ber 17, as at first planned, this event has
been post]ioned. W. J. Stewart will read
a jiaper on "The Innocents Abroad"
and there will be other interesting fea-
tures. The exhibit tables promise to
be unusually attractive.

The lamlscaiie gardening classes in
charge of B. K. Howard and Daniel A.
Clark are being well attended. Half a
ilozen more students only can be accom-
modated.

Various Notes.

W. W. Edgar remains in a critical con-
dition and his illness arouses much sym-
]>athetic comment among his numy
friends. j\Ir. Edgar's sons, Robert S.
and Frank, are doing yeoman work dur-
ing their father's illness, being ably
helped by H. II. Bartsch, their popular
salesman.

The Haskell Seed and Implement Co.
has opened for business at 21 South
Market street, occupying the building re-
cently vacated by A. D. Branier. Messrs.
L. B. Haskell and Webster are members
of the firm, which will do a general
business in garden and farm seeds, im-
]>lements, etc. The location is a central
one, between the firms of Farquhar &
Co. and Schlegel & Fottler Co.

Houghton & Clark are displaying some
fine s|)eeimen plants of Adiantum Far-
leyense. They have, as usual, <a good
show of seasonalile orchids. A large
bowl of orange calendulas last week was
quite effective.

(ialvin is showing some extra good
azaleas. T^orraine l)e^onias and poinset
tias. His ori-hid display is always in-
teresting.

H. M. Roliinson Sc Co. have received
large consignments of boxwood, holly,
laurel and other Christmas greens and
will need to work long days with a large
force until after the holidays.

Waban Conservatories are sending in
some splendid Killarney roses, with stems
two to three feet long. They hope to
have a heavy cut of all roses for Christ-
mas.

H. E. Fiske & Co. are making a spe-
cialty of dwarfed Japanese evergreens,
of which they have a fine assortment, for
the holidavs. W^ N. Ciiai.;.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

While business is fair, there is noth-
ing extraordinary doing and no one is
rushed. Several good decorations used
up a lot of ilowers and there was a
;;ood deal of funeral work as well, but
had it not been fur that there would
iiave been a glut of roses. As it is, this
llnwrr is Just aijout able to maintain tlie
advance in price made at Thanksgiving.
A good many are being received by tl7e
wholesale hou.scs every day and it is
about all they can do to make them move
at the quoteil i)rices. As is usually the
<ase in this market, however, there are
none too many red roses and P.eautios.
The latter rose was called for quite fre-
<iuently and many more could have been
i-old than were received.

(:arnati(ms arc still the scarce article
and there is every prospect that they
\\ill remain so until after the holidays at
if'-AH{ \\m. Murphy, in speaking of the
^iipply, said that there were not enouirh
being cut out of tlie many plants at
■Murphyville to pay the coal bill and that
It would be along in Februarv before

there would be anything like a good
crop in. He said that the plants were
looking fine and appeared to be growing
well, init all were late and no one had
b(M>n able to get a crop except those
who had housed very early. It appears
that there is a slow increase in the cut,
and if only a good crop will be in by
Christmas it will do a whole lot toward
making up for the scarcity this fall.

A few good mums are still to be had
and they are mighty good property, as
they always are at this time of the year.
What few come sell out at sight and
bring top prices; in fact, better than
at any time during the season. (i.
P.runner's Sons have a large lot of late
niies that will he in fine shape for the
holidays and they will easily realize LM
cents each for them.

Violets are in good demand, and both
double and single are selling well. The
New York violets are fine this year and
those from Virginia are up to their usual
standard. The singles grown in this lo-
cality are fine and they bring the highest
price of all.

The market is well su[)plied with green
goods. Pronze galax leaves were scarce
for a while, but plenty of green were
on hand. Hoxwood is selling well and
large quantities of it are being handlo.l
by the wholesale houses. From all indi-
cations, good holly will be a scarce ar-
1i<de this year. At the present time it
IS almost iinpos.sible to obtain anv that
will j.ass muster. We suppose tliat at
the last moment there will be plenty of
it to be had, but at present the prospects
are none of the best and the reports
from the woods are not very encoura"--
ing.

Various Notes.

Kichard Witterstaetter reports a good
lot of seedlings this year. He is^one
of the lucky ones and has been having a
good cut of carnations all the fall. At
l)rosent he is slightly off crop, but hoiies
to make it for Christmas.
/'. P. Dieterich & Bro., of Maysvillo.
Ky., have just finished remodeling their
retail store. A new front was put in
and the entire store painted and put
into the best possible shape. This firm

does a large florists' business and also
goes heavily in for nursery stock.

I regret to report the death of Mr.
K'oll, father-in-law of .lames Allan. Mr,
K'oU was quite an elderly man, hut hia
death, which was sudden, was neverthe-
less a great blow.

The news of the death of P. J. Ilaus-
wirth was sadly received by his many
friends in this city.

C. W. Ward, of Queens, Pong Island,

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The week after Tiianksgiving, trade
was fairly good, but far from satisfac-
tory when taken as a whole. The weather
lias been pleasant; in fact, too nice for
good trade. It will take cold weather
to create a good demand. This alone
will stimulate the trade for the coming
holidays and make it satisfactorv to us
all. Some of our uptown florists hare
been quite busy with wedding and re-
ception decorations, while the downtown
tlorists had funeral work. The north
end and south end llorists say that trade
is not at all steady in any one line. Wo
cannot say that stock at 'the four whole-
sale houses was overplentiful last week.
Shipping trade aided greatly in using up
the surplus.

Chrysanthemums are over for this sea-
son. Last week a few Jerome Jones and
Chadwick came in, but this week none
are to be had. This, of course, make3 a
better demand for roses, which are sell-
ing well and arc of good quality. Chate-
nay, Killarney, Richmond, with Bride
and :\laid, are plentiful. Long Beauties
are limited, with plenty of short.s. Car-
nations are a little scarce at present. En-

Various Notes.

The Engelmann Botanical Club held
its monthly meeting Monday night, De-
cember 9, in the Central High School
building, at which there was a large at-
tendance. Dr. J. Arthur Harris, of the
Missouri Botanical Garden, read a paper
on "The Fertility of the Soil and Other
Plant-food Problems," which was lis-
tened to with great interest. Superin-
tendent H. C. Irish and all the students
of the Missouri Botanical Garden were
in attendance.

E. W. Guy, of Belleville, was in the
city last week and reported a good
Thanksgiving trade. He purchased a
new rubber bowling ball for his Belle-
ville team.

The Review brought the first news of
the sad ending of our friend, Phil J.
Hauswirth, in Chicago, which waa a great
shock to his many friends in the trade
here. Both the St. Louis Florists' Club
and the St. Louis Horticultural Society
sent floral tributes of sympathy to the
bereaved family.

Harry Young, in company with his
brother Charlie, spent last week on a
hunting trip in Arkansas. Both are
great marksmen and returned home with
a big load of game.

"William Bouche, the landscape gar-
dener, has finished up Park View place

giving trade was very good. His new
houses are producing a good quality of
stock in roses, carnations and bulbous
stuff.

W. C. Smith & Co. are now making
their own wire work, having bought out
John Seekter. The wire department has
been placed in the rear of the store.
They are receiving daily a fine supply of
carnations and California violets.

C. A. Kuehn is having a good run on
holiday supplies, both local and outside
the city. The cut flower and wire de-
partments are also kept busy.

George Angermueller reports some
large shipping orders last week in both
cut flowers and supplies.

Kelley & Petschonek, who recently
bought out the Eggeling branch, on
Kings highway, report an excellent trade
in decorations for dinners and receptions.
Thanksgiving trade was satisfactory.

Frank Fillmore reports that he will
give up his Meramec street store after
the first of the year and do all the re-
tail work at the Nebraska avenue place.
He has given up growing roses and has
everything planted in carnations.

Henry Berning's consignments of
California violets and carnations from
Kirkwood are large and of extra good
quality. Winter's and Ude's stock is
much looked after by the local buyers.

Miss Theresa Badaracco had a good
run on funeral work last week, in large
designs and bunches. Miss Badaracco
is a clever artist in this line. She was
much taken with the paper by Charles
H. Gi-ikelow, "The Retailers' Position,"
in the last issue of the Review, and said,
"He voices my sentiments."

John Connon, of Webster Groves, is
enjoying a good run of trade and is
using up most of his stock. His Thanks-

made their appearance and our large
business houses are already decorating
their fronts in holiday attire. A great
many orders for this wreathing have been
booked among the retailers and a good
demand is looked for this year. The
stores all want to put their best foot
forward, after trade.

The Market.

The gulf stream must have gone
astray. The weather December 9 was
like a day in June. It's a wonderful
climate. The birds and beavers have
become unreliable. We can't have "a
long, cold winter," as the prophets say,
unless it begins quickly. It is only two
weeks to Christmas. Leap year and
April 19 (Easter) are very near. But
Christmas, now, is the vital question.
What will it evolve for the florist! If
the clear, fine, warm weather continues
it wiU mean a shortening of supply.
Several of the growers from Rhinebeck
and Madison and intervening centers
were in the city during last week and
seem to agree as to the supply. Some
have ventured to even predict the prices.
Long Beauties, they say, will be worth
50 cents and upward; carnations up to
10 cents; Brides and Maids to 25 cents;
and violets to $1. Compared with other
years these are encouraging figures for
the retailer and if there is no pickling
everybody will be satisfied to do busi-
ness on so fair a basis. The outlook
for Christmas is encouraging.

Prices this week are holding up fairly
well. There probably will be no change
until a few days beforei Christmas. Busi-
ness generally is growing normal. There
are many weddings and dinners and De-
cember promises to be a record month
in the marrying department, judging by
the florists' bookings. The two big
opera houses and a hundred theaters are
in full swing, the sailings to Europe on
the big new floa^ng palaces are abnor-
mal, accommoaation for all who desire
to go impossible. There has been an
abundance of funeral work and no reduc-
tion in size and value of the emblems of
sympathy that have kept the retailers
exceedingly busy. Altogether, there is
much to be thankful for, and there is
no reason for distrust and pessimisni. ,

The chrysanthemum supply continue^
abundant. Even up to Christmas groi^-
ers promise shipments. Beauties selj at
from 30 cents down and Maids and
Brides at from 8 cents. These rates
cover all roses at present, and 4 cents
is top for carnations, John Young had
a window of Alma Ward that was the
talk of the town. Violets do not rise
•bove the 75-cent crest, and then only
for the cream of the specials; 50 cents
would be a fairer quotation. Lilies have
advanced and 12 cents is readily ob-
tained. The orchid supply now includes
all the popular varieties for which Mc-
Manus is famous, and the orders for
Christmas exceed those of any other sea-
son; they come from every large city in
the country.

The green goods men are busy, day
and night, with increased forces, and
wreathing, holly wreaths, and all the
accessories that go to make Christmas a
decorative season are already in evi-
dence everywhere. Trees from the moun-
tains and from Canada are already ar-
riving, and soon the aroma of ever-
greens will fill the downtown air.

Qub Meeting.

The final meeting of the year was
held December 9, President Totty in
the chair. About seventy-five mem-
bers were present, notwithstanding the
rain. The report of the committee on

discussion was participated in by
Messrs. Totty, Stewart, Marshall, Nash,
Barron, Jaenecke, Lenker and Nugent.
The proposition for affiliation involves
associate membership and the payment
of $1 for each member of the Florists'
Club, but carries no voting power. A
decision will be arrived at at the an-
nual meeting in May.

Mr. Manda read the report of the
awards committee, which visited, De-
cember 6, the plant of Eobert Scott &
Son to pass upon the merits of the
rose Mrs. Jardine, giving it high com-
mendation and a first-class certificate.

Alfred E. Wheeler, Shunzaburo Su-
zuki and Samuel A. Woodrow were
nominated for membership, and F. W,
Wagenfohr, of Woodside, was elected.

Several declinations were read from
those nominated for office, and the
election resulted as follows: Presi-

dent, W. E. Marshall; secretary, John
Young; treasurer, J. K. Allen; trus-

C. Zvolanek, of Boundbrook, N. J., re-
ceived preliminary certificates. Mr.
Pye, of Nyack, also brought two hand-
some red and pink seedling carnations.

Messrs. O'Mara, Shaw and Miller
were appointed a committee to draft
resolutions on account of the death of
Mrs. A. M. Henshaw. A unanimous
vote of sympathy was ordered sent to
the family of P. J. Hauswirth, Chicago.

Messrs. Nugent, Richards and
Schultz dispensed roast turkey and
other viands with true holiday liber-
ality. So ended the reign of President
Totty in harmony and enthusiasm,
after one of the most interesting and
successful years in the club's history.

Various Notes.

The New York and New Jersey Asso-
ciation of Plant Growers opened its
wholesale market at 43 West Twenty-
seventh street, December 7, with a large
stock and an encouraging attendance.
Ihe experiment, for this its members de-
clare It to be, may be, if the ambition
of Its promoters is fulfilled, the nucleus
or a great plant and cut flower market
that will include every branch of the
floncultural industry, in a building com-
mensurate with the importance of the
trade in this community. The member-
ship includes Messrs. Schultheis, Roehrs,
Scott, Dreyer, Manker, Schmutz, Lehnig
,& Winnefeld, The ffinode Co., Pankok &

Schumacher, Zeller, Wagner, Steinhoff,
Schoeltzel, Dupey, Miller, Maenner, Mar-
quardt, Dresel, Darlington and Bobbink
& Atkins. These names should be a
guarantee of the success of the associa-
tion.

The Engineers ' Club gave a great ban-
quet this week to Andrew Carnegie. The
building, costing a million and a half,
was the gift of the great Scotsman. The
decoration by Bowe was unique, the
tables showing quantities of heather,
Richmond roses and Scotch thistles, in
keeping with the occasion.

James H. Blauvelt is now associated
with Charles Millang as manager.

D. Smith & Co. is the name of a new*
wholesale cut flower firm, located at 111
West Twenty-eighth street.

The betrothal is announced of Miss
Anna Brenner and Al Furdeman, for
nine years associated with Gunther Bros.

Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer
& Co», was in the city last week and
very optimistic as to Christmas pros-
pects.

Henry E. Mengham and Mackenzie
Westwood, both for several years with
Thorley, have opened a retail store at
422 Columbus avenue, a splendid loca-
tion.

Moore, Hentz & Nash are receiving
from Ed. H. Behre, of the old Burnett
place at Madison, as fine Maids and
Brides as ever reach the wholesale mar-
ket.

Messrs. Hoflfmeyer, Pye, Turner, Totty,
Duckham and Manda visited Philadel-
phia last week and interviewed Mrs.
Jardine, a rose worthy, in their estima-
tion, of ninety-two points.

Mr. Grant, lately of Chicago and
Philadelphia, is now in the service of
Harry Hoflfmeyer, at Broadway and
Eighty-second street. Mr. Hoflfmeyer 's
store is one of the most artistic on the
avenue.

W. H. Elliott, of Brighton, Mass.,
was in the city December 7.

Cut dracaenas and calabash baskets
were among the Christmas novelties in
Traendly & Schenck's windows last-week.

December 7 the funeral services on
account of the death of Mrs. A. M. Hen-
shaw were held at the family residence
in Brooklyn. Many of the florist friends
of Mr. and Mrs. Henshaw attended, and
the rooms were filled with flowers.

Siebrecht & Son will be fully estab-
lished in their new store for Christmas.

It 18 Chriatmas already at the big
store of David Clarke's Sons on upper
Broadway, where the firm is celebrat-
ing Its fifty-eighth anniversary. They
have no fault to find with the year's

business, and are expecting as large a
holiday as they ever enjoyed.

The new plant market meets with
Charles Millang 's approval. He says
it will add to his plant sales rather
than diminish. Gaeenhouso accommo-
dation makes the preservation of the
stock easy. This difficulty will be one
of the problems with which the new
association will have to wrestle.

Twelve months ago Ford Bros, said
the year had been double any in their
experience, but now they say 1907 puts
the last one in the shade. They have
some splendid growers on their staflf.

A. L. Young & Co. are unique and
original advertisers. A handsome mir-
ror is this season's contribution to the
holiday.

The enlargement of the business se-
cured by H. E. Froment, a couple of
years ago, goes on steadily at 57 West
Twenty-eighth street. L. B. Codding-
ton, one of Mr. Froment 'a largest
growers, is now on the ocean, returning
from his European trip. James Coyle
still holds the reins as manager.

Sixteen months ago the Richards
brothers took over the old-established
Bridgeman's Seed Warehouse, on East
Nineteenth street. Their progress has
been constant.

W. H. Donohoe centers his Christmas
at one store this year, the new one at

enough for a big business, decorated
with rare taste, and in a splendid sec-

With Cotsonas & Co. the demand for
Christmas wreathing keeps a big force
at work day and night.

A. J. Guttman has had a record break-
ing year and the big store is always an
interesting scene of hustle and bustle
and progress.

Samuel A. Woodrow has just returned
from a successful trip through New Eng-
land. His sales of plants for the holiday
trade are large and the shipping demand
is far greater than he expected.

Alexander McConnell's big arcade es-
tablishment on Fifth avenue is a thing
of beauty and the memory of its Christ-
mas decoration should be a joy forever.

J. B. Nugent 's window, on West Twen-

and wholesaler, as usual.

John King Duer, with the management
of J. J. Coan, has built up a fine trade

RICE AND THE KOW BELL.

This is a season of tremendous activ-
ity with the florists' supply dealers.
Each Christmas for many years has seen
a marked increase in the use of the ac-
cessories which add so much to the sala-
bility of plants and cut flowers, but it
is a characteristic of human nature that
a large proportion of the buyers will put
off purchasing these necessities until the
eleventh hour approaches. The result is
that the supply establishments are now
hives of activity, the sight of which
would cause heartburn to a king of a
closed down copper industry.

When M. Eice was in Europe last sum-
mer he knew he could count wifti cer-
tainty upon this late demand for sup-
plies and he arranged for fresh ship-
ments to arrive at this season and so
systematized the work that the large vol-

Eice & Co. say this season is by far the
largest in their history and the visitor who
sees the great variety of up-to-date nov-
elties gathered from the four corners of
Europe in their modern building, will
see that they are taking good advantage
of the possibilities presented by the ever-
widening market for their line of mer-
chandise. While the stock is still com-
plete, one of their best sellers this sea-
son has been the bell shown in the ac-
companying illustration. Characteristic-
ally, they list it in their kat-a-log as a
kow bell.

BALTIMORE.

TheMaiket.

Trade last week was fair, funeral work
being the most called for. As many cut
flowers were on the market, the trade
used a large quantity. Last Saturday
brought out many more and they sold
slowly. Eoses are abundant. Carnations
are arriving nicely. Paper White narcissi
are beginning to come in regularly 'and
sell slowly. Chrysanthemums are still
dragging on and the stock looks as
though their time was past. Christmas
is near at hand and the trade is looking
forward to making up the quantity of
goods we usually have calls for.

Flower and G>rn Show*

The tenth annual meeting and show of
the Maryland Horticultural Society, com-
bined with the Maryland Corn Breeders'
Association, was opened' at the Fifth
Eegiment Armory Tuesday, December 3,
and continued for three days, ending
with two separate banquets. The show
was one of the most successful yet held.
The exhibits were far greater than at
any previous show. There were visitors
from far and near. Quite a few out-of-
town florists were there. The Horticul-
tural Society had 1,500 exhibitors and
the Maryland Corn Breeders' Associa-
tion had 207 corn exhibitors. The ar-
mory has a floor space of 60,000 square
feet, which was transformed into a bit
of Arcadia. The city parks made a re-
markable showing of plants. Clifton
park had a solid bed of chrysanthemums
at the entrance of the large hall. Many
of the nurserymen made a fine showing
of their nursery stock. The private gar-
deners also made a demonstration of
their skill with beautiful roses, extra
fine mums and various kinds of pot
plants.

The commercial growers had wagon-
loads of plants and cut flowers. John
Cook's new unnamed rose was highly ad-
mired. It was given a silver medal as
the best American seedling. F. H. Kra-
mer, Washington, had his new rose,
Queen Beatrice, on exhibition, and won
a silver medal and dipl6ma. On Thurs-
day evening an auction was held. The
cut flowers, some plants and fruits were
sold.

C. L. Seybold, Baltimore, was elected
president of the society. E. Vimcent, Jr.,
White Marsh, Md., was elected county
vice-president.

Among the trade exhibitors were:
Lord & Burnham, New York, greenhouse
supplies; Thomson Chemical Co., insecti-
cides; Griffith & Turner Co., spray
pumps and florists' supplies. J. Bol-
giano & Son offered a loving cup for the
best ten ears of corn and it was won
by N. 0. Collier, Easton, Md. They also
had an exhibit of bulbs and florists' sup-
plies. Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia,
Pa., florists' supplies and bulbs; Henry
A. Dreer, Philadelphia, Pa., a collec-
tion of plants and new ferns; Heren-
deen Mfg.* Co., several Furman boilers;

THE DEATH ROLL.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

Current Comment.

Trade has been quiet; almost no busi-
ness at all, except for funeral work,
which has been quite good. Carnations
are now bringing from 50 cents to 60
cents per dozen retail; roses $1.50 to $2
per ddzen retail; violets $1.50 per hun-
dred retail. A few mums are still to
be seen, but of poor quality, and carna-
tions have full sway once more.

R. H. Woodhouse will have a grand
lot of plants, such as begonias, primulas,
cyclamens, etc., for the holiday trade.

H. A. Jahn is cutting some fine
flowers from his new white seedling car-
nation, Lloyd, which he is placing on the
market. This promises to be a good va-
riety. Mr. Jahn devotes all of his time
to his carnations, having given up his
store last July.

- William Mosher is cutting some nice
violets at his new place on North street.

Peddlers of greens have made their ap-
pearance. A Targe business is done in
wreaths, etc., for the Christmas trade.

The regular monthly meeting of the
New Bedford Horticultural Society was
held December 9, ladies invited. The
topic for the evening was an address on

Christmas Decorations," by David Mc-
intosh, secretary of Newport Horticul-
tural Society. Light refreshments were
served. Frank C. Barrows presided.

Mrs. C W. Pike.

Mrs. C. W. Pike died at her home at
Bacine, Wis., December 7, after a week's
illness with pneumonia, Mrs. tike had
been in the retail flower business at Ra-
cine for fifteen years. She was a par-
ticularly skilful decorator and worker
with cut flowers and did a large and
prosperous business. She was vfidely
known and respected by all in the trade.
One of the things for which Mrs.
Pike's name will be remembered for
many years is the Clara cemetery vase,
which was her invention and patent, al-
though marketed by others.

Mrs. Pike left one sister, her husband
having died a number of years ago.
There were no children. The funeral
was held on the morning of Wednes-
day, December 11, the remains being
taken to Mrs. Pike's former home at
Oshkosh, Wis., for interment.

Samuel H. Walker.

Samuel H. Walker, for quite a number
of years in the florists ' business in Taun-
ton, Mass., died suddenly of heart failure
at his home on Somerset avenue, Taun-
ton, December 3. The deceased was born
in Dighton, May 14, 1838, and flrst en-
tered the tack business with his brother.
He MTSS later identified with a prominent
firm of coal merchants, afterwards en-
gaging extensively in shipping, being
agent of a fleet of vessels, thirteen in
number. Upon retiring from the ship-
ping business, Mr. Walker, who had a
great love for flowers, engaged in the
florists' business, building a number of
greenhouses on Weir street. Those, which
he managed successfully for years, are
now occupied by Willard & Williams and
are known as the Taunton Greenhouses.
^ The deceased was a much respected
citizen of Taunton, where he had always
resided, and his entire business life was
marked by square methods of dealing.
The deceased is survived by one daugh-
ter.

Robert Faulk.

Robert Faulk, probably one of the
most popular and best known men in
Pittsburg in connection with the bedding
plant trade, died suddenly Thursday, De-
cember 5. Mr. Faulk had been in bad
health for a year, but was seemingly bet-
ter and his death came as a shock to his
many friends. He leaves a wife, two
daughters and three sons, two of whom,
Frank and Walter, are in the cut flower
business in the Allegheny market. Mr.
Faulk was a G. A. R. man, besides being
a member of several other orders, and
his funeral was largely attended.

George D. Kelley.

George D. Kelley, 30 years old, a flo-
rist employed by H. F. Lange, was
found in Hotel Warren, Worcester,
Mass., December 5, with a bullet
wound 'in his head. He registered at
the hotel under the name of Burns, of
Boston, and committed suicide during
the night. He left a note saying he
had seen both sides of life and there
was nothing in it.

Luke M. Deeds.

Luke M. Deeds, superintendent of the
Deeds Floral Co., at ShilUngton, Pa.,
was found dead on the floor of the
greenhouse office, Sunday morning, De-
cember 1. On Saturday evening he had
gone to Beading to attend to some
business. On returning home, probably

about midnight, he went to the green-
house to attend to the fires and, it is
presumed, was overcome by coal gas,
with which the place was still filled some
hours later. It is supposed that he had
fallen asleep while waiting for the fires
to burn up, and that when he awoke he
was too much overpowered by the gas to
be able to reach the door. The position
of his body, when discovered, indicated
that he had been trying to crawl out-
doors into the fresh air on hands and
knees.

Mr. Deeds was 33 years old and was
the only child of Owen and Mary Deeds,
of Shillington. Besides conducting his
floral business, he had given much atten-
tion, from earl;^ youth, to the training
of horses, and had become remarkably
proficient in managing them. He is sur-
vived by his wife, his parents and his
two daughters, Mabel and Alice.

P. J. Hauswirth.

To sweetly solemn music and with the
burial rites of the Elks and the Red Men,
six florists, in the presence of a large
concourse of sorrowing friends, laid
away all that was mortal of P. J. Haus-
wirth beneath a bank of flowers at Rose-
hill cemetery, Chicago, December 6.

Private services over the remains of
Mr. Hauswirth were held at the family
home at 1 o'clock and an hour later the
public ceremony took place in the chapel
at Rosehill, the Elks burial ritual being
spoken with only a small part of the
large number of persons in attendance-
able to gain access to the chapel. The
floral decorations were among the most
elaborate seen at any florist's burial in
many years, and a conspicuous piece
was a large standing wreath from the
Society of American Florists. At the
grave the Red Men had charge. The
pall-bearers were Leonard Kill, W. N.
Rudd, E. Wienhoeber, H. N. Bruns, J.
C. Vaughan and Joseph Curran. The
trade turned out almost to a man and
there were present a considerable num-
ber of florists from other cities, who had
come to pay their last respects to one of
the most popular of men.

The Review has received dozens of
letters deploring the death of Mr. Haus-
wirth, so many that space forbids the
publication of all the references to that
sad event. From many, the following
from the secretary of the American Rose
Society, has been selected as representa-
tive of the general sentiment:

When I opened the Review, and by
chance it proved to be the page bearing
Phil Hauswirth 's picture, I was struck
with surprise and sorrow at tlfe news of
his death, and cannot refrain from ex-
pressing in a few words what probably
hundreds of others will also think and
feel, the deepest regret at the occur-
rence and the most profound sympathy
for all the members of his family. Mr.
Hauswirth I had met for several years
in connection with the S. A. F. and the
American Rose Society, and always had
found him a man of courteous intelli-
gence, such a one as it was "safe to tie
to." Whatever may have been his af-
fliction in body, or anxiety in regard to
any business care, his end was sad. Fel-
low men, when care comes, when pain
strikes hard, look up — and wait.

Merry Christmas!

They all read the Eeview.

Results bring advertising.
The Eeview brings results.

The Jamestown Exposition Co., after
an unsuccessful season, has passed into
the hands of receivers.

A PRINTED letter-head is as necessary
for a business man as a presentable suit
of clothes is to a traveling salesman.

Cut boxwood and red immortelles
make far handsomer wreaths and balls
for Christmas sales than can be made
from poor holly.

The demand for sheep manure as a
florists' fertilizer has outgrown the sup-
ply and many growers are experimenting
with shredded cattle manure as an abun-
dant and cheaper substitute.

The man who refuses credit to the irre-
sponsible and who demands prompt set-
tlement when bills are due may not have
the largest business, but it is safe to say
he lives as well and sleeps as soundly as
his less conservative competitor.

The market for bouquet green has
broken to lower Ifevels than was thought
possible early in the season. The high
prices then offered have apparently
stimulated the people in the big woods
to unusual effort, and green has become
abundant.

There are few sections of this coun-
try where hybrid rhododendrons do not
need winter protection. Spruce or hem-
lock branches, kept up over the plants by
means of some structural contrivance,
will be found to be the most effective
method of protecting groups of these
plants. Single specimens are much easier
to handle and means for their protec-
tion readily suggest themselves. All
hardy rhododendrons and azaleas will be
much the better if protected at the roots
with a covering of some such material
as Utter or leaves.

FiBROTTA ware, the indurated fiber
goods used by alinost every florist, re-
ceived a medal and diploma at the
Jamestown exposition.

There are still plenty of- openings
for capable greenhouse employees, but
until spring opens the recent rule of
two jobs for every man will not be in
force.

The only way in which business can
be handled satisfactorily is to have a
system that brings up every detail in
suflScient season so that each one may
receive attention without haste. Haste
makes waste.

Advertising men of wide experience,
who come in contact with all classes of
business men, say that the florists have
passed through the autumn period of
financial excitement with less loss of busi-
ness than almost any other line. They
say the flower business has been much
more active than such necessary lines as
the metal trade, whi6h has suffered
most of all, building materials and sta-
ple merchandise being next lowest. In
these lines it appears to have been merely
a case of suspended animation.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

The first week in December was not
as active as had been hoped. Demand
was light, both locally and shipping, and
the volume of sales was not up to the
same week in recent years, in the experi-
ence of most wholesalers and growers.
The most that could be said for the busi-
ness was thai) it was fair, and this week
does not start in much better. It al-
ways is the case that just before Christ-
mas there is a quiet spell and this year
it seems to be likely to be just a little
more quiet than usual.

There have been no particularly large
supplies of stock. "We have had consid-
erable dark weather, which has operated
to hold back the crops, but there has been
a sufiScient supply in all departments,
with the usual exception that now and
then an order would be received after
the stock had "been moved. Prices gen-
erally had averaged low.

Long Beauties are more abundant and
promise to be in fine shape for Christ-
mas. Other roses are not now in the
heaviest crop, but quality has been fine
and there is every reason to anticipate
a large supply of splendid stock for
Christmas if the weather is at all favor-
able in the next ten days. Bed promises
to be scarce, for none of the growers ap-
pears to have a big crop of Richnio€i<l

just now. Killarney is probably the fa-
vorite of the other varieties and will be
in strong demand for Christmas.

Carnations have not come in heavily,
but the supply has been erratic, some
days large and some days light, so that
it has been a problem to supply and
satisfy one's customers and make any
sort of a showing to the growers. Car-
nations have not come on as expected.
The growers say the plants are full of
buds and they anticipate big crops for
Christmas, but the plants seem almost
to stand still and receipts do not in-
crease as one would look for them to do.

The violet market has had a relapse.
At Thanksgiving, and just after it, there
was a good market, but it was not long
before prices went back to the old level,
which is on what the growers say is an
unprofitable basis. Opinions vary as to
the Christmas supply. Some houses look
for exceptionally heavy receipts and
others expect nothing beyond the ordi-
nary. The retailers freely predict they
will not have to pay as much for violets
this Christmsis as last. The receipts are
wanted on December 24, which is Tues-
day, a day on which comparatively few
Rhinebeck violets reach tlus market. It
is up to the growers to make special
arrangements to get their shipments
here as wanted. "Wednesday will be too
late.

Chrysanthemums are now down to a
few late whites, but some good stock
still is to be had. Callas and Harrisii
are abundant and Paper Whites and
Romans are a glut. Stevia is everywhere
and mignonette is plentiful. All green
goods are abnndant. Good holly ia to
be had in spite of the predictions that

there would be few berries on it and
bouquet green is offered at cheap prices.

Christmas Prospects.

It is the consensus of opinion that
with bright weather we shall have a con-
siderably larger Christmas supply than
ever before. The same factor will make
quality fine. But the growers must not
hold back for the advanced prices at
Christmas, or they will defeat themselves.
The man who will make the best average
will be the one who keeps his stock com-
ing in steadily as cut December 18 to 23.
There is a justification for trying to
make the Christmas crop as large as pos-
sible, but you can lay odds that the mar-
ket December 20 and 21 will be stronger
than it will be December 24. The morn-
ing of December 23 is when the bulk of
the stuff should reach this market.
Everything received in good condition
that day is sure of a good sale, for the
Christmas business will be heavy and
possibly the best on record.

Some veteran wholesalers who have
passed through several hard-times Christ-
mases say that, while preceded and fol-
lowed by quiet business, those Christ-
mases have been invariably good. They
explain it by saying that the men who
bought diamonds for their vrives when
they were flush bought flowers at other
times.

A Good Book by yf^ite*

In newspaper circles there is an old
story of how a reporter got a scoop by
beating the other reporters to the only
telegraph wire and, after he had sent his
story, holding the wire by giving the op-
erator a copy of the Bible with instruc-

tions to telegraph Genesis until 12
0 'clock.

Last week W. J. Smyth received »i
book by wire, from Gude Bros. Co.,
Washington, together with several other
big designs. These were ordered of
Gude's by government of&cials and de-
partments, to be sent to the funeral of
Gen. Palmer, formerly Public Printer.
The book was on a four-foot frame, the
right page made of dendrobiums, cat-
tleyas and valley. On the left page was
the Inscription, "From Government
Printing Office, Washington, D. C."
The other designs were equally elab-
orate. The Gudes executed the orders-
on short notice by means of precise tele-
graphic instructions to Mr. Smyth.

Variotis Notes.

The shipping demand for Bhinebeck
violets is steadily increasing. Having-
come a thousand miles to CMcago, they
lose nothing by another night's travel,
and many out-of-town retailers are buy-
ing thousand lots.

The A. L. Randall Co. figured on plac-
ing a car of holly, but when the car ar-
rived December 9 it was found the or-
ders necessit?ited picking up another car.

Bassett & Washburn are congratulating-
themselves that they will have an ex-
ceptionally heavy crop of Killarney in>
the next fortnight.

A vase of Fritz Bahr's white seedling
of Prosperity has been on exhibition at
the store of the E. F. Winterson Co. for
several days. The flowers are of enor-
mous size.

Frederick Sperry has been on the sick
list for several days.

to a basket. We used a lot of them last Easter on aia-

baskets and the effect was just as good. They are good

PHILADELPHL\.

The Riuns: Eastern Market.

Conditions from December 5 to De-
cember 11 were somewhat of an anom-
aly. The demand has undoubtedly im-
proved, but so has the supply, and there
is not enough business to consume all
the flowers that come into the market,
at remunerative figures, even with the
aid of extraordinary effort. Prices con-
tinue low, remarkably low for the sea-
son. Christmas is now but two weeks
off, and with the moderation in weather,

it seems doubtful when the long-expected
advance will really come.

Carnations are the strongest feature
of a not too strong market. The quality
is excellent in the fancy and select
grades, and most of the desirable stock
sells readily. Boses are by no ibeans
in so happy a state. Bichmond is the
strongest, with prices higher than a
week ago, even the shorter grades being
in demand. Bride and Bridesmaid sell
fairly until it comes to the ordinary
stock. Killarney is more popular than
Maid, possibly owing to the limited sup-
ply. Strenuous efforts have been made
to advance *the price of American
Beauty, but the conditions of supply and
demand will not warrant it, and we are
confronted by October prices in the
second week in December, an unheard of
thing.

Cattleyas have shortened sufficiently to
advance. Violets have fallen back since
last report, despite extremely fine qual-
ity. Chrysanthemums are by no means
over, Jeanne Nonin being a feature of
the market. The quality is all that could
be desired. It is only regretted some-

Mignonette is fine. Bouvardia is im-
proving. Stevia was never better, but
is in oversupply. Paper Whites are al-
most a drug, as Eomans would be were
they more plentiful. Poinsettia is only
cut on orders. Valley is in slight favor.
Christmas greens are already becoming
an important feature.

Beauties at Christmas.

The consensus of opinion among ex-
pert judges is that the price of Ameri-
can Beautx roses at Christmas will not
equal that of the last few years. While
it is possible for unfavorable weather
conditions, or heavy demand, to upset
this opinion, the chances are that it will
be verified. The supply is much larger
this year than ever before. The demand
appears to have temporarily weakened,
and while there will undoubtedly be a
good demand at Christmas, it is ques-
tionable whether it will be sufficient to
warrant the usual fancy prices at the
holidays. In view of these conditions it
seems reasonably safe for intending buy-
ers to figure on being able to secure
whatever stock they may require at from
one-fifth to one-third less than last sea-

son.

George Btirton's.

I think it was in 1901 that two de-
cisions were reached, both of which have
a bearing on the flower market in this
city today. One was John Burton's
conclusion that the time had come when
he could establish a new place for his
son on which to grow Beauties. The
other was Leo Niessen's determination
that he must have good Beauties all the
year around to satisfy the increasing de-
mands of his business. The result is
that George Burton has been growing
Beauties for the last six years, almost
to the exclusion of everything else, and
growing them with an ability and pre-
cision that has practically kept him in
the market from July to June of eacb
year. The rapid rise of George Burton
is coincident with the immense increase

in the territory covered by the IJeo Nies-
sen Co., the cut flower business now
having risen to a point where the choicest
roses may be required at any moment in
some section of this territory.

George Burton added another range
to his plant early last spring. It was
completed and planted with Beauties in
time to cut during the summer. The
plants grew well, producing quantities
of good flowers, which were marketed
when good flowers were scarce. This
range, while producing good stock now,
is not expected to do much more until
early in the spring, the later planted
houses, which have been held back, being
depended upon to produce the crops dur-
ing the winter months.

While the place is practically devoted
to Beauties, which are in splendid condi-
tion, one house is still planted with Gold-
en Gate, now in its third year, a rose
that has proved most prolific with Mr.
Burton. It produces strong canes, and
usually comes in heavily in the dark
winter months, when other roses are
scarce and the demand heavy.

W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, Ind., who
was formerly a member of the firm of
Coles & Whitely, of Landsdowne, says
that in all hia travels he has never found
a soil so well adapted for Beauty grow-
ing as they have at Chestnut Hill. Be
this as it may, the Chestnut-Hillers un-
derstand how to use that good soil to
secure results.

briefly covered by last week's report in
this column, saw one of the most notable
discussions ever held at a gathering of
the kind. Mr. Grakelow 's paper was de-
livered with great fervor, his Shakes-
pearean quotation bordering on the dra-
matic. The debate which followed was
well maintained throughout, entirely free
from acrimony. The strongest point
brought out by Mr. Grakelow in his
argument was that if the wholesalers
would devote more attention to the regu-
' lation of their credits the carfare
charges on small orders would not re-
quire consideration, he believing that
their practice of extending credit to those
with little or no capital was pernicious.
Mr. Grakelow stoutly maintained his
position that were the retailers given the
same opportunity as .the fakers for buy-
ing flowers at low figures, they would
make larger window displays, but the
leading wholesalers as stoutly contended
this was not the case, one of them offer-
ing to show his books in proof that the
retailers always had the preference at
the same figures, while another said that
the fakers were shown scant courtesy,
simply being given stock for which there

was no demand after the possibility of
other sales had ceased.

While the discussion brought the mat-
ter no ];iearer to a conclusion than be-
fore the debate started, much valuable
information was brought out and a bet-
ter understanding established of the
other fellow's position. Any club might
be proud of the ability and good feeling
displayed by those who spoke.

Various Notes.

Edward Keller, president of the Keller
Pottery Co., died December 2, after a
lingering illness of several months. The
funeral took place on December 7.

The meeting of the executive commit-
tee of the Society of American Florists,
which was to have been held in this city
December 7, was postponed by President

& Note, Yeadon, Pa., offered at auction
by Freeman & Sons on December 9, were

NASHVILLE, TENN.

Joe Browne, tbe genial manager of
^he Lischey Greenhouses, is much pleased
with the new Moninger house, just fin-
ished.

The Joy Floral Co. has secured a
valuable acquisition in the new member
of the firm, who will take hold of the
growing end. Tom Joy will handle the
8t«re in town.

Geny Bros, are doing a good business.
They handle a large quantity of stock,
all at retail.

Mclntyre Bros, handed me a bullet.
Some folks hand out lemons, but this
was a genuine bullet. The plant stands
on an old battlefield and numbers of bul-
lets are occasionally turned up when
plowing.

Jos. Grudy, Dreer's representative, was
a caller, returning from a southern trip.
He reported business good. W.

PLANTING BULBS DEEPLY.

The deep planting of bulbs in outside
beds can be recommended as sound prac-
tice in the great majority of cases. When
planted deeply, the root system develops
enormously before the green shoot shows
its nose above the soil, and the latter has
plenty of support behind it should it en-
counter inclement weather. Again, a
deeply-planted bulb is longer in pushing
its growing point through the soil, and
this delay often means much in an un-
favorable season, one of mild weather
followed by a freeze. When dealing with
bulbs in pots, we take care to ensure root
production before top growth by cover-
ing the pots with ashes; by deep plant-
ing we do the same for our outdoor
btilbs.

NOTICE

To Whom it May Concern:

Certain parties are traveling through
the country purchasing Sweet Corn from
farmers with whom the Western Seed &
Irrigation Co. holds contracts for the
delivery of the said corn. This is to no-
tify all such parties - either buyer or sel-
ler—that the Company will prosecute to
the limit of the law, all parties guilty of
such an offense.

The Haskell Seed and Implement Co.
has opened at 21 South Market street,
Boston.

The Texas Seed & Floral Co., Dallas,
do a large business in birds and gold-
fish, and supplies, both wholesale and
retail, and find a good margin of profit
in it.

BoLGiANO & Son, Baltimore, are seek-
ing to extend their trade with southern
trucking sections by getting commission
merchants at the big markets to represent
them in securing orders on a commission
basis.

Sales of Country Gentleman sweet
corn at $7 per bushel are reported and
$8 has been asked, but no record of a sale
at this price is on file. Evergreen is
probably worth as much as Country Gen-
tleman, but the holders of it have not
yet got their proper quota of nerve and
$5 for it is the maximum figure so far
asked.

The flurry in canners' peas continues,
but, like the financial flurry, it is being
kept well in hand. There has been no
complaint that any canner has been un-
ablp to get what peas he has needed
where he was willing to pay the price,
and an odd car may yet be secured by
anyone who needs it badly. Aside from
the canners' favorite sorts, there will
probably be enough peas to go around,
but in all cases it is thought that prices
will be higher than those ruling last sea-
son.

The sweet-corn growers seem to be
having their own troubles now. In addi-
tion to the bad drying weather, many
of the farmers with whom they have
contracts are selling the corn to out-
siders. This is unfortunate, of course,
but the sweet corn people are not the
only ones who have these things con-
fronting them. The pea and bean grow-
ers are making the same complaint, and
it seems to be a case of just taking the
medicine.

Onion sets at tlie present time are not
giving anyone worry, except that the
whites in storage continue to fall away
owing to the dry rot. Yellows and reds
are keeping fairly well. "When the Jan-
uary shipments begin to go out, condi-
tions may change materially and by Feb-
ruary the situation will be known. The
January shipments are the ones that

of your Meadowvale Florists' Light Mixture
to be shipped via freight — express about

F. O. B. Berlin, N. Y.

This order is given by me — us and taken
by you with the understanding that if given
proper soil and cultivation, we can, after
blooming this season (1908), conscientiously
say we have not received full value I — we
can, at harvest time, return the stock, to-
gether with its -increase in bulbs and cor-
mels to you via freight — express and you
will refund the above amount paid.

If returned freight — express charges will
be paid by me — us.

State

This order has been accepted and en-
tered under the above conditions.

Berlin, N. Y... 190..

For forcing I can recom-
mend it as bzmg
almost equal to the
best named varieties
generally used for that
purpose.

It contains named novel-
ties of merit and hy-
brids bred especially
to supply the needs
of Florists requiring
li^ht colors.

Having for many years experimented extensively to the end of supplying a White and Light Mixture especially
adapted to the Florists' trade, for Funeral and Decorative work where light colors alone would be appropriate, I am
now prepared to furnish my Meadowvale Florists' Light Mixture, which I can guarantee to contain the best quality
obtainable in the world at the price. There is such a variation in Florists' Mixtures, as generally offered, that I do
not wonder at the frequent disgust of the purchaser, and in my preparation of this stock I have endeavored to elimi-
nate every variety with which the most critical florist could find fault.

This Mixture was offered in Spring of 1906 for the first time and over 500,000 were placed and not one com-
plaint received, a sure indication that it was favorably received by the Florists. For this season, 1908^it will be
sold only by me and in lots of not less than 1000 or more. Price, $16.00 per 1000, F. O. B. Berlin, N. X^., each with
order, and will be sold subject to the conditions on above order blank.

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

ZlluBtrated Oataloirne of Other Colleotions, Miztnre«Vnd Hamed Varieties will be Mailed upon Applioation.

ing out a 16-page order sheet with a full
list of flower and vegetable seeds con-
tained in this catalogue printed there-
on, which will greatly facilitate order-
ing and filling orders.

The general retail seed catalogue of
the Barteldes Seed Co., Lawrence, Kas.,
arrived December 11. It quotes South-
port White Globe at $3.50; Red Globe,
$2.50; Yellow Globe, $2.50; Yellow Dan-
vers, $2.25, and most other sorts $2.

The first general retail seed cata-
logue for 1908 to come to hand, that of
A. T. Boddington, New York, quotes
onion as follows: Southport White
Globe, $3.50 lb.; Yellow Globe Danvers,
$2.50; Red Wethersfield, $2; Southport
Red Globe, $2.50.

A NEW cantaloupe region in the vicin-
ity of Phoenix, Ariz., is rapidly being
developed and it is said the acreage will
be largely increased in 1908. Hereto-
fore two shipping associations have han-
dled the output, but next season there
will be three and perhaps more.

M. Crawford has returned to Cuya-
hoga Falls, O., after a summer spent in
experimental work at Shioeton, Wis. His
work is said not to have wholly confirmed
the high opinion of its property for mar-
ket garden purposes held by the Shioeton
Gardens Lands Co., and Mr. Crawford
has shipped back to Ohio his stock of
gladiolus bulbs.

Beans, notwithstanding the unfavor-
able reports some time ago, will be plen-
tiful enough for all legitimate demand,
in the opinion of most of the growers.
Deliveries are now coming in from the
fanners and they are panning out bet-
ter than was anticipated. The milling
and hand picking may change the sit-
uation some, but it is not thought that
any variety will be scarce enough to
cause trouble.

CBUTOHFIELD & WOOLPOLK, of Pitts-

burg, are large handlers of cantaloupes
in the various markets and act as distrib-
uting agents for several associations of
growers. For several reasons they have
this season become large buyers of Rocky

New Close-Clinging Hardy Climber

ANPELOPSIS LOWII

This beautiful novelty was obtained from seed raised from Ampelopsis Veltchii.

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 (mall, beautifully dentate, and the edges, being prettily crimped,,
give a very pleasing elTect 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.

MoNTGOMEEY Waed & Co., Chicago,
are at work on their third annual spec-
ial seed catalogue.

Carrot seed will be scarce, from all
indications. The foreign growers are
cutting heavily on Danvers and other
standard sorts and last year 's crops were
pretty generally disposed of, so that
little carrot seeid is being carried.

The Children's School Farm, a New
York institution organized for the pur-
pose of creating an interest in gardening
among school children, was awarded a
gold medal at the Jamestown exposition.
The seed used was supplied by J. M.
Thorburn & Co.

The lithographed cover of the Bar-
teldes Seed Co. catalogue for 1908 shows
a prosperous looking farmer sowing
seeds on a globe and bears the inscrip-
tion," Western Seeds to All the World."
Manager C. R. Root says they think it
the best thing they have yet had.

ONION SEED.

The onion seed situation has not
cleared any. It is the opinion of many
of those who want to buy that there is
plenty of seed stowed away somewhere
and that it will be offered at low6r
prices later on. What these prospective
purchasers base their idea that there is
plenty of seed on, is a conundrum, as
there seems to be no good reason for it.
It is a certainty that the flat sorts of
red and yellow are scarce and that the

onion-set growers will not find enough of
American grown seed to plant more than
half of the acreage they contemplate
sowing. It may be that there will be
enough foreign seed to make up the de-
ficiency, but even so the price is bound
to be higher than usual. As has been
stated frequently in this column, there
is no scarcity of the varieties that are
usually sown for the market onions, ex-

cept the White Globe. It is the onion-
set producers who will find it hard to get
a supply of the seed that will be safe
for an onion-set crop.

under the above heading on pages 46 and
47 of the issue of the Review for No-
vember 14, in regard to my first report
on natural grass seeds this season. In
the first place I wish to point out that
there was a lapse of over five weeks be-
tween the date on which my first report
was issued (September 16) and the date
of the "large exporter's" "correction"
(October 22).

Moreover, my first report on the crop
of natural grass seeds was issued several
weeks before that of any other German
seed house, and by the time others, in-
cluding the gentleman at Aschaffenburg,
were ready to make a report on the crop,
I had already kept my friends posted
on the situation of foxtail and all other
grasses. Owing to unsually heavy pres-
sure of business, it had been overlooked
to follow up my first report by others
for publication in the Review.

The above will no doubt suflBce to prove
that it is a very bold undertaking to
correct a report, which was quite cor-
rectly describing the situation at the
time.

As to the ' ' correction, ' ' which is more
misleading than anything I have read so
far, all I have to say is that I am not
aware that as much as 100 marks had
been paid for rough seed, as the corre-
spondent at Aschaffenburg says, neither
now nor any time before since the begin-
ning of this season. Conrad Appel.

SEED WARRANTY.

Referring to the stateme»ti%^of lead-
* ing seedsmen in the matter of non-
warranty of Prizetaker onion, the editor
of the Rural New Yorker says:

"Under the circumstances they take
a sensible position, for anyone who
knows about seed growing will under-
stand how many chances there are for
a mix-up. In some cases, however, the
mistakes of a seedsman are serious, and
lead to great trouble and loss. One
case now up for adjustment is a typical
one. An onion grower of long experi-
ence has developed a good trade for a
white onion. He bought seed, as
he supposed, of this variety last spring
from a prominent seedsman. The pack-
age was marked properly, but bore the
usual statement about a seedsman 's guar-
antee. You can't tell one variety of
onion seed from another, and this seed
was all planted and well cared for. A large
proportion of it turned out to be an
inferior yellow onion. Thus the grow-
er not only lost several hundred dol-
lars on his crops, but his special market
for white onions was injured, since he
could not supply his regular customers.
He claims, and with reason, that some
one in the seedsman's employ made a

IN AID OF THE FARMER.

The report of the appointment clerk of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture for
1907 shows that there were on the rolls
of the department at the close of the
fiscal year 9,107 employees. Of the en-
tire force 1,972 were employed in the
District of Columbia and 7,135 outside
of the District.

The following figures are sufficient to
show the growth of the department dur-
ing the last forty years: In 1867 the
total number of persons employed was
99; in 1877 the total number was 77; in
1887 there were 328 employees; by 1897
the number had increased to 2,444, and
on July 1, 1907, the total number of
persons employed had reached 9,107.

The results of the investigations con-
ducted by the department are made
known and become available for the use
of the people by the means of publica-
tions, of which 1,415 were issued during
the year, 596 being new and 819 re-
prints. These publications comprised
52,363 printed pages, and the total num-
ber of copies aggregated 16,746,910, an
increase of 3,258,889 copies over last
year. But, says Secretary "Wilson in
his annual report, ' ' the publication work
of the department has assumed such mag-
nitude that only by the most careful ed-
itorial supervision, and by the enforce-
ment of the most rigid economy in the
printing, and by the exercise of con-
stant discretion in the distribution of
documents, has it been possible to ac-
compUsh the results attained with the
present appropriation. ' '

PACIFIC COAST.

- Santa Cruz, Cal. — Dr. J. P. Parker,
the orchid grower, has bought an interest
in the Leedham Bulb Co. and is vice-pres-
ident and a director of the company.

ExPEEiMENTS for the control of peach
blight in California have shown that the
disease can be completely controlled by
the use of standard Bordeaux mixture,
or lime and sulphur wash, applied early
in the fall, about the time of the first
rains. The methods recommended by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
were widely used in California last sea-
son, with complete success, and it is
stated that the treatment has meant
many millions of dollars to the peach
industry of that state.

PORTLAND, ORE.

It sounds good to hear such favorable
reports of the business being done by
the local florists. November made a
good record, with a great demand for
funeral work. Thanksgiving and the
annual football game on that day
proved a grand finale to the month's
business, with a tremendous sale of
chrysanthemums. While there were as
many fine blooms sold as last year, yet
we were obliged to shave the price.
Everybody says that the financial sit-
uation is improving, but we are still
transacting business with stage money.
A few of us got hit for small amounts
when the banks closed, but no knockout
blows were reported.

The growers are busy people right
now, and never have we seen stock so
plentiful or looking finer during the
short days. Harrisii lilies grown from
cold storage bulbs made their appearance
three weeks ago and offered a variety
to the regular line of material. Paper
Whites and Bomans are recent arrivals
and we will use them in large quanti-
ties the next two months.

The rainy season is with us now,
though there are occasionally intervals
of a bright day or two, and things
might look a great deal worse.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Business is quiet enough at present to
suit anyone. There is almost nothing
doing in the floral line, with the excep-
tion of a little funeral work, and that
seems to be confined principally to
sprays and bunches. The expected rain-
fall has arrived, but only a slight shower

to lay the city's dust. We have had
practically no frost thus far this sea-
son and, taking, it as a whole, the
weather is the best that could be imag-
ined for all kinds of stock. This is par-
ticularly noticeable with violets and it
has been very favorable also for the
chrysanthemum growers.

Boses are a little scarcer than they

«were a few days ago, but there is plenty

of short-stemmed stock of all kinds.

Fancy Beauties do not come to town in

anything but very small packages.

Carnations have not advanced any in
price since before Thanksgiving and
they are in ample supply for the trade.

Quite a few poinsettias are being sent
here from the south. The crop is in
good shape so far, and unless unforeseen
circumstances occur there will be plenty
to go around.

Narcissi, Boman hyacinths and valley
move slowly. Smilax and other kinds of
green stuff are very plentiful. Stevia is
being used largely for mixing with
sprays and bunches and will last until
after the holidays.

Vegetable Forcing.

E. C. Stammerjohn, Boonville, Mo.,
grows lettuces, radishes and onions in
hotbeds south of his greenhouses and
finds them a decidedly profitable winter
crop.

The low prices at which lettuce has
sold at Chicago thus far this season
have put a stop, at least for the time
being, to talk of increasing glass areas
for next year.

As indicating the great expansion
which took place in the vegetable forc-
ing industry in 1907, Kroeschell Bros.
Co., Chicago, says that twenty per cent
of its sales of greenhouse boilers this
year have been to vegetable growers.

It is reported that Searles Bros., To-
ledo, O., who two years ago built what
is said to be the largest range of vegeta-
ble houses ever erected at one time in
this country, ten houses 15x750, and who
last season added five more such struc-
tures, are planning to this Season in-
crease the plant by erecting eleven addi-
tional bouses of the same dimensions.

THE PROSPECT.

Referring to the prospect for 1908
as it appears to the Ohio lettuce grow-
ers, E. A. Dunbar, sales manager for the
Ashtabula Lettuce Growers' Association,
Ashtabula, O., writes as follows: "De-
cember finds the winter vegetable busi-
ness just about on a par basis. The
staple products are moving at fair aver-
age prices, with enough stock to sup-
ply all demands. It will require good
crops and good management to pay divi-
dends in 1908, which means, eventually,
the survival of the fittest. The year 1908
will bring more conservative business
management, decreased demand and
lower prices."

MILDEW ON CUCUMBERS.

The cucumber is a tender plant sind
will not endure some of the severe meth-
ods employed for combating aphis and
mildew on other plants. The careful
spraying of cucumbers with ammoniacal
carbonate of copper solution, which is
made by dissolving five ounces of car-
bonate of copper in three pints of strong
ammonia (26 degree) is recommended.
This stock solution should be diluted to
forty-five gallons when used— that is, one
pint of the solution will make fifteen
ffaUons of the spraying mixture. This
should be appUed with a strong force
pump through either a Vennorel or a
Bumlar nozzle and should keep the house
free from mildew.

An additional safeguard is to keep
the heating pipes at all times covered
with sulphur. When it is not desirable
to moisten the foliage of the plants with
a spray the distillation of sulphur is
effective. This is accompanied by some
danger, however, and the novice should
carefully observe and carry out every
detail.

TOMATOES.

It is generally conceded that the sin-
gle-stem system is the most practicable
for the commercial grower, the plants
being set from twelve to fourteen inches
apart, according to variety and width of
bench. One stake only is necessary for
each plant, but this should be a strong
one and should have the support of at
least one wire; if two, all the better.
Where one only is used it should be near
the top of the stakes, to which these
should be firmly attached. Another wire
about half way up the stakes will help
to stiffen and strengthen the whole thing.

The plants should be supported as
soon as planted by being loosely tied to
the stakes. Loosely means that the
string is tied so as to allow for the
swelling of the stem; otherwise it will
become girdled as growth proceeds. To
make sure that the string will stay in
place it should be wrapped around the
stake first, then around the stake and
stem together and securely tied. EaflBa
is the best and cheapest material to use.
As growth proceeds tying should be fre-
quently attended to, as the points will
draw over to the light and become bent
if tying is too long delayed.

All the pinching that is necessary is
to keep all side growths taken out as
they appear, and after the plants have
reached the top of the stakes to pinch
out the points and stop their skyward
journey. We also find that quite fre-
quently growths appear on the ends of

the bunches of fruit, especially when the
plants are growing strong. As these are
a decided detriment to the development
of the fruit, they should be pinched out
as they appear.

We sometimes have found it necessary
to cut away part of the leaves of some
varieties to admit the light and prevent
crowding, but aa a rule varieties that
make such heavy foliage as to make this
necessary are not the most profitable
ones to grow. Though they are gener-
ally the producers of the heaviest fruit,
they will not produce so much weight or
fruit per plant as some of the less ram-
pant growers. w. S.

the wood is in a frozen condition.

GiFFOKD PiNCHOT, who has charge of
the government's forest service, is a mil-
lionaire and sticks to his job because he
likes the work rather than for the $5,000
a year it pays him.

Investigations of the apple soils of
California have shown that there is a
close relationship between the keeping
qualities of the apples and the various
kinds of soils on which they are grown.

A GOOD many nurseries find themselves
in a position where they don't care so
very much what spring brings forth; the
long and busy fall season has cleaned
them up closer than they ever were at
this date.

The Sheridan-Oest Co., New York, has
been incorporated with $100,000 author-
ized capital stock. The directors are Eu-
dolph J. Bodmer, Mount Vernon; Lester
8. Abberly and Royal B. Cushing, New
York city. A general nursery business
will be done.

Apple trees live longest and produce
the heaviest crops where the soil is fairly
heavy and of a substantial, loamy char-
acter. The pear will thrive in soil suit-
able for the apple, only the roots of the
pear stock will find their way into the
hard subsoil sooner than those of the
apple.

It is extremely hazardous to attempt
the moving of very large and valuable
specimen evergreens when there is a
probability of all the soil falling away
from the roots. In winter, when the
ground is hardened by frost, such trees
can be moved without the least likelihood
of failure. All that is necessary to move
them successfully is the equipment for
the conveyance of large balls to the des-
tination of the trees.

Cuttings of a great many kinds of
evergreens will root readily in winter
when placed in cutting boxes which have
previously been filled with sand or what
is commonly called sandy soil, if the
boxes are placed where a little heat will
reach them from underneath. The tem-
perature otherwise will stiit them when
as cool as it in all likelihood can be had.
The cuttings may also be put in the prop-
agating bench in the same manner as rose
cuttings.

There is an increased demand for
trained fruit trees for planting outdoors
for the twofold purpose of pleasure and
profit. Perhaps the frequent visits of
Americans to European countries have
more than a little to do with this inclina-
tion to derive some profit from trees
without in the least detracting from the
appearance of the surroundings. Garden
walls, fences and trellises can with advan-
tage be utilized for the support of vari-
ous fruit bearing trees, such as peaches,
pears or plums. When properly attended
to, fruit of larger size and of better qual-
ity can be produced from trees planted
in such a way than from tr«es grown in
the ordinary way.

Chionanthus Virgimca.

The demand for trees is growing rap-
idly, but he who benefits by it must not
only know how to grow them but he must
also know how to dispose of them.

The tulip tree, or Liriodendron tulipi-
fera, is one of the most elegant trees
that thrive satisfactorily in many parts
of this country. The foliage is glossy
and of peculiar form, and the appearance
of the tree, when growing under favora-
ble conditions, is such that in grand ef-
fect it is not surpassed by any other de-
ciduous tree. This tree is especially well
suited for avenues and for planting with
the ultimate object of having isolated
specimens in parks and in close prox-
imity to imposing buildings. The tulip
tree, after it has attained considerable
size, is rather hard to transplant success-
fully. It is well, therefore, to plant
them when young and in permanent po-
sitions.

MOVING EVERGREENS.

This is the best time of the year to
handle large evergreen stock from the
open ground in California. This in-
cludes everything in the line of palms
and other stock that is not considered
easy to handle under any circumstances
after it has been standing several years
in the open ground. A great many gar-
deners have an idea that early in the
spring is the proper time to shift ever-
green stock that is too large to grow in
pots and with which there is always con-
siderable risk in handling.

Acacias, peppers, grevilleas, eucalyp-
tus, cedars and dozens of other varieties
that I might mention, which are usually
looked on as being delicate propositions
under all conditions, can be moved with
impunity provided good balls of earth
are taken and there is no severe check
in the proceedings.

To insure success, the stock must still
be in a growing condition, and there
must be no dry, frosty weather until
they get a new start in the ground.
Neither of these conditions is usually

found here in the early spring or late
winter months. The trees are usually as
dormant as it is possible for them to be,
and, in addition, the dry, frosty weather
is likely to take all the moisture from
the leaves and branches before the roots
have had an opportunity to take hold of
their new situation and have commenced
to send sap upward to replace the evapo-
ration from the foliage.

This explains entirely why there' is so
much difiSculty in handling large ever-
greens early in the spring months, but
of course refers only to such kinds as
are handled with more or less diflBculty
at any season.

Take such a tree as the Grevillea ro-
busta. It is, unless conditions are just
right, one of the most difficult trees to
handle from the open ground, but at
this time of the year there is absolutely
no trouble, even when they have been
standing for years in the same situation.

A good ball of earth is always essen-
tial, and also a good, watering or two
after they are transplanted, unless the
ground happens to be sufficiently moist
from the natural conditions. G.

CHIONANTHUS VIRGINICA.

The well known white fringe, Chion-
anthus Virginica, is one of the most
striking lawn trees of moderate dimen-
sions in cultivation. When in flower
a well-grown specimen on a lawn can-
not fail to rivet the attention. The dark-
green leaves and the wealth of grace-
fully drooping white panicles which are
produced from the middle to the end of
June produce a floral picture which is
hard to rival.

While looked upon as somewhat tender
in the northern states, I have seen no
injury come to plants from recent severe
winters when temperatures of 20 de-
grees to 30 degrees below zero were
recorded. The plants seem to do best
in a deep and rather moist soil, where
they can be fully exposed to the sun.

CROWN GALL.

The pathologists in the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture, and in some of the
experiment stations, have for a number
of years had under investigation a dis-
ease of fruits commonly known as crown
gall. Heretofore no organism has been
definitely proved to be the cause of this
disease. The results of the department's
work the last season indicate that there
are two types of the malady. One form,
which occurs in apples, producing hard
galls, appears to be non-contagious, while
the other, the soft gall, which occurs oc-
casionally on apples and is the common
form on stone fruits, especially the peach
and plum, is very contagious. Two pa-
thologists working on a similar disease in
another plant have isolated an organism
which produces galls practically identi-
cal with the soft crown gall on the
peach, plum, hop and numerous other
plants. This is an exceedingly impor-
tant line of investigation, and doubt-
lees will pave the way for securing in-
formation which will be worth a great
deal to the fruit interests of the country.

The Market.

Trade is fair, but the market lacks
that snappy feeling it ought to enjoy
at this season of the year. Thanksgiv-
ing business was not up to last year.
Buyers hesitated in putting in good sup-
plies and prices would not hold firm.
Carnations which were quoted at 4 cents
to 6 cents found buyers taking them
slowly and the supply was greater than
the demand. Jioses sold fairly, but
plenty of white stock was left over.
Violets, stevia, valley and Paper Whites
were plentiful. The season on mums
fell below the average of former years.
Medium grades sold well, but it was
difficult to get the price on the large
fancies.

Bouquet green is coming in plentifully
now. Pickers were holding it much too
high and jobbers were overbidding each
other to get it. The result was that
prices kept soaring and pickers were
busy getting in all they could, until now
supply exceeds demand. The first holly
has arrived and the quality is good.

C. S. P.

MEMPHIS, TENN.

Olaf Johnson says he will sell out to
a hustler, but it is not the fellow who
has a flourishing business who wants to
let go. The sick man of the east is not
in it, and should a possible purchaser
turn up I question if Mr. Johnson would
give up, as his property is steadily in-
creasing in value and he does a big busi-
ness. He realizes there is a fine field for
a wholesale growing establishment, both
in plants and cut flowers, and predicts
the time will come when such a place
will exist.

The Memphis Floral Co. does a large
shipping retail business, in addition to
the floral department. J. Haisch has
charge of this end, while W. Hume does
the buying and sees to the drummers,
of whom there were three at the time of
my visit. As he says, they are the life
of the business.

Pearson & McCarty handle a good
cemetery business and report an increas-
ing demand for funeral pieces of less
extravagant design than formerly. W.

PoSTOBiA, O. — Next spring the Fos-
toria Floral Co. will add about 20,000
feet of glass to its already large plant
and will considerably increase the out-
put of cut flowers and bedding plants.

New Carnation

Brilliant Scarlet

DEFIANCE

There are Seven Reasons Why You Should Grow
Defiance, aild They Are :

Ist. It ia by far the beat color seen in a scarlet
carnation; it is the true velvety scarlet and not red; it
will average three inches in diameter throughout the
season.

2d. It is unexcelled for productiveness by any
carnation in commerce today.

3d. It is a clean and upright grower, producing
an abundance of high grade flowers without any spec-
ial treatment.

4th. It is in perfect health and not subject to rust
or any other disease which is very prevalent amongst
other carnations today.

5th. It is of perfect form. Blooms are very sym-
metrical; center nicely built up and very full, but not
so as to appear crowded; stems are very stiff and wiry,
holding the flowers perfectly erect.

6th. It is a scarlet for the entire season, and can be
had in crop in October, continuing through the entire
season. It does not lose its color in bright sunlight— in
fact it improves under a bright sun when other reds fade.

7th. It is the only scarlet today, and by grow-
ing DEFIANCE you will be satisfied it has no faults;
it is full of vigor and will do the work when other
scarlets fail.

NEW ORLEANS.

The Market.

At this time of the year in New Or-
leans, when the trade in plants is re-
duced to the selling of a few palms and
ferns for inside decorations, business is
bound to be dull with most of the florists.
Balls and weddings give paying work to
a few, but many others are doing the
best they can with a small trade. Prepa-
rations for an early opening in the spring
are made all around, and from the ap-
pearance of things stock will be plenti-
ful. The weather has been quite mild
so far.

Various Notes.

George Thomas is quite successful
with annuals. The season opens early
down here and the first annuals on the
market are the ones of real value, bring-
ing good resturns. To have them in
this condition requires skilful attention,
which they receive in full from Mr.
Thomas. He furnishes also part of the
trade with early sweet peas. They stand
our winters outside in the open ground.

Peter Kaul has been a direct importer
of such plants as laurus, araucarias,
rhododendrons and other stock coming
from Belgium. With the idea of build-
ing another greenhouse, he has a large
general assortment getting ready for the
market in two months from now.

The contract of keeping Canal avenue
has been given by the year to John
Doberto.

Richard Chevalier, one of our chrysan-
themum growers, intends opening a gen-
eral florists' establishment, on Caroleton
avenue, near Maple. M. M. L.

JOHNSTOWK, Pa. — Abraham Hostetler
has completed a greenhouse 31x103 for
growing vegetables.

CARNATION SARAH HILL, ACTUAL SIZE.

SARAH miL

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-
ENCH4NTRESS

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.
Everyone who grows Lawson or
Enchantress will want to grow
this variety. Early delivery as yet.

Either variety at $12.00 per
100; 9100.00 per 1000.

WASHINGTON.

Current Comment.

The week opened with a cold snap and
the first real snow storm of the season.
The stores report business about the
same as last week. Debutante bunches
had the call and everyone got his share.
Several good decorations are booked for
debuts the coming week. Some good fu-
neral orders were booked by the Gude
firm and telegraphed to Chicago for the
funeral of Gen. Palmer, former public
printer.

Learning of the sad death of Secre-
tary Phil Hauswirth, a special meeting
of the directors of the Florists' -Club
was called and a suitable floral offering
was ordered, which waa heartily ap-
proved by the club at the meeting held
December 6. Wm. F. Gude, James Car-
bery and J. J. Harty were appointed as
a committee to draft suitable resolutions
to convey our sympathy to the bereaved
family.

The coming carnation convention was
discussed at the last club meeting and
several prizes donated by the local mem-
bers. Mrs. Florence Hading sent a vote
of thanks to the club for the show
flowers sent to the hospitals.

Peter Bisset has gone to Porto Rico,
where he will spend a few weeks for his
health.

F. H. Kramer has secured the stand
formerly occupied by the American Eose
Co., in Center market. They have given
up their business in the market, Mr.
Kramer was all smiles as the boys
dropped in to congratulate him on win-
ning the flrst prize, silver medal and
club certificate at the Baltimore show
with his Queen Beatrice rose.

A trip to Geo. Field's found every-
thing in ship shape, but a month behind,
as Mr. Field puts it. He cannot account
for it. Cypripediums should be plentiful
now and there are plenty of buds, but
they do not open. Cattleyas are late.
He reports a much larger demand than
usual for dendrobiums.

Carl Kausch, formerly with the Schultz
Co., of Louisville, Ky., has taken a posi-
tion with the Washington Florists Co.

F street will have a new Greek flower
dealer if he can secure a location.

E. J. Fancourt, of the Pennock-Mee-
han Co., was a visitor. O. O.

AuBtJKN, N. Y. — A. Patrick has opened
a store at 80 Genesee street, for the dis-
posal of a part of the output of his
greenhouses.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Decdubbb 12, 1907.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

Qub Meetins[.

In spite of a stormy evening, tiie meet-
ing of the Springfield Florists' Club,
held December 9, was well attended. A
communication from W. H. Stackhouse,

g resident of the Commercial Club of
pringfield, was read, in which an invita-
tion was extended to the florists to at-
tend a meeting on the evening of Decem-
ber 19, at which a speaker of national
reputation will address the two clubs and
other citizens on the subject of the ex-
tension of our park system, to be fol-
lowed by an informal buffet lunch and
smoker. This invitation was unanimously
accepted and the florists will attend in
a body.

The committee on civic improvement
reported progress and the program com-
mittee announced that the January meet-
ing will be in charge of the local retail
florists, with such topic as they may
choose to present.

A communication from a florist-nurs-
eryman desirous of locating in or near
Springfield was discussed and referred to
the president and secretary for further
correspondence. This project would re-
quire from twenty-five to fifty acres of
suitable land and would add volume and
variety to the industry.

It was the sense of the meeting that
the local press had not given due pub-
licity to the offer made by P. M. Cart-
mell in his address at the banquet held
in November. In the way of encourage-
ment to the civic improvement idea, Mr.
Cartmell makes a standing offer of $100
to any block 400 or more feet square,
now fenced about in an established part
of the city, which will entirely remove
fences from its front lawns.

After the transaction of routine busi-
ness, the club adjourned to the dining-
room, where a substantial Dutch lunch
was served by Edward Kriegbaum and
Opha Jackson, of the entertainment com-
mittee, followed by the reading of mock
"indictments" against various members
who were called upon to respond, and in
a majority of cases pleaded guilty to the
charges, greatly to the amusement of
their fellow members. Ge Dale.

' into big slau^hterln? houses. Can't be helped,
down groes the ax and cuts prices in half. Why?
We want the .room after Christmas to grow our
immense Baster stock. "Have you ever heard of
Godfrey Aschmann?" "How do you spell It'.' "
"G-o-d-f-r-e-y A-8-c-h-m-a-n-n." "Ol Yes. the
man who lives in Philadelphia, 1012 Ontario St.,
the grreat Importer of and dealer In Araucarlas.
Every child, woman and man In the florist tracie
all over thecountry has heard of him." That is
the man who can give you bargains. Just what
you are looking for, bargains In times like this
uf business dcpresBlon. Is It possible to sell an
Araucaria Robust a CompactaorExcelsa (ilauca,
the Hon of the araucaria family, as bisr as a
Christmas tree, worth 110 00 for only 12.60? Yes.
Aschmann does It. How to trim: Tie a bow of
pink, red or lavender ribbon about half way up
on the tree, and you will have a light in your
store window that wlU never be forgotten by
passers-by.

Have Araucarlas to Beat
the Band

At only half of their normal price. How is it
that Aschmann can sell so cheap? It Is strange.
Answer: Because we have made a specialty of
Importing and growing araucarlas for the past 15
years. Have them grown for us by an araucaria
specialist of Ghent, Belgium, under contract;
about 10,000 every year of Robusta Compacta,

NEWPORT, R. L

Current Q>niment.

The prospects for Christmas are get-
ting brighter as the time approaches.

Zeigler has secured a lease of the store
adjoining his old stand on Broadway.
This store he is now utilizing for a dis-
play of Christmas bells and the manu-
facture of wreaths, etc. Mr. Zeigler is
80 far satisfied with his season's expe-
rience on Bellevue avenue that he has
renewed the lease of that store for
another year. A placard in one of the
windows announces that it will be re-
opened two weeks before Easter.

Gibson Bros, are making a combina-
tion display in their windows, of roses
and fine Whitmani ferns.

Oscar Schultz has an unusually large
assortment of decorative foliage plants
to offer for the holiday trade.

There are few lilies in an advanced
condition here. All that will be called
for will be procured elsewhere. '

John Marshall, who has been in charge
of the Perry Belmont "By the Sea
Greenhouses" for some years, has taken
a year 's lease of the establishment. Here-
after Mr. Belmont will have no connec-
tion with the business except as landlord
of the property.

J. K. Sullivan has at last secured the
contract for the improvements in con-
templation on the Pembroke Jones estate
on Bellevue avenue.

David Mcintosh has accepted an in-
vitation from the New Bedford Horticul-
tural Society to read a paper on * * Plants
for Christmas Decorations" on the even-
ing of December 9.

Tuesday evening, December 10, the
annual meeting of the Newport Horti-
cultural Society took place.

Richard Gardner, whose appointment
on the park commission was recently an-
nounced, seems to put new life into that
body. R. E.

I AM sold out of gladiolus bulbs. The
little advertisement in the Review was a
good investment. — Frank BIlotz, Bowl-

Livingston, Mont. — E. F. Kirkland
thinks the outlook for the future is
bright and he urges others in the trade
to keep on improving and producing.
"People have to live and look well," he
says, "so grow your flowers and vegeta-
bles and be happy, for I think you will
get rid of them all. This financial un-
easiness, which is caused by Wall street
schemes, will soon be ended."

PIPING IN ARKANSAS.

Are twelve 1%-inch lines of hot water
pipe sufficient to heat a house 22:r80 feet,
with the sides five feet high! The roof
is not of the best to keep out cold. The
outside temperature here sometimes
drops to near zero. M. G.

To pipe a house 22x80 feet so as to
maintain 60 degrees during severe weath-
er will require twenty lines of 1^4 inch
pipe. A good way to provide radiation
in this house would be to install seven-
teen 1^4 -inch returns, arranged in three
manifolds, each fed by a 2-inch flow.
This would give a little more radiation
than is provided in the twenty 1^4 -inch
pipes and give a better distribution,

EXPANSION TANK OVERFLOWS.

What is the cause of the water run-
ning out over the top of my expansion,
tank?

I could not get my heater down where
it belongs, but it worked well last spring
and the circulation is fine now. If the
fire becomes quite hot, however, out goes
a barrel or more of water over the top
of the expansion tank. The heating pipe
goes from the top of the heater upward
four inches, with an elbow on top and
a pet cock. This is the highest part.
Then the pipe goes eighteen inches from
the elbow and connects with four 2 -inch
pipes that go around the house under the
benches, with a true grade down until

they get back near the heater, where
they connect again with a single pipe,
which drops down eighteen inches and
enters the heater. The expansion tank
is about seven feet above the heater,
and is connected by a %-inch pipe with
the return pipe where it enters the heater.
The greenhouse is 20x45 find that
system of piping keeps it warm enough,
but I do not understand why the water
should run over so. W. E. H.

In regard to the behavior of your ex-
pansion tank, I suggest first that the
tank is not high enough. It should be
twelve to twenty feet above the boiler,
if it is possible to so arrange it. Sec-
ond, the expansion tank may be too
small or you may keep too much water
in it. The expansion tank should have
merely a trace of water in it when the
system is warm and should be large
enough to hold all the expansion of the
system when heated to full capacity, so
that when the plant cools off the pipes
will all still be full of water.
■ Baise the tank if possible, and in-
crease its capacity so it wUl hold the
expansion of the system. See that the
tank is practically empty when the sys-
tem is cool ; otherwise the expansion tank
does not fulfill its mission, that of hold-

W. D. Snell, Mohawk, N. Y., Jan. 21, 1907, says:
"I hare to report In regard to the No. 407 Standard
Sectional Steam Boiler recently Installed In my green-
houses, that It gives thorough satisfaction. About
January 1, I had occasion to note an Incident that I
consider worth reporting. The boiler was attended to.
fuel furnished, grate shaken down and everything
. arranged for the night at 12 o'clock midnight. At
that time the boiler showed two lbs. steam. To test
the boiler and see how long It would run without
attention, I deferred giving It any further attention
until 11 o'clock the following day. At that time the
fuel needed replenishing, but steam had been main-
tained In the system practically all the time and at
the time It was replenished the gauge stood at two lbs.
pressure. The experiment showed that tlie boiler ran
without any attention whatever for eleven liours. carry-
ing 7000 sq. ft. glass to about 55 degrees. The weather
outside was about zero."

there are three 1%-inch returns, making

1^^-inch pipe will be necessary, in this

be 2-inch or will 1%-inch headers be
large enough t

My boiler is a Nichol & Shepard trac-
tion boiler. It is fourteen horse-power
and has thirty-three 2-inch flues. Its
capacity is three barrels and a half of
water. B. P. M.

The house in question, in order to
maintain a temperature of 60 to 65 de-
grees during severe weather, should be
provided with twenty lines of li^rinch
pipe, twelve in addition to the present
equipment. In order to install the ad-
ditional radiation the present headers
will require to be modified, and it mil
be well to install 2-inch fittings for all
new pipes for hot water service.

below the surface of the ground, I
have a vertical boiler, capable of 100
pounds of pressure. It has two open-
ings for l^/^-inch pipe.

Please tell me how much pipe is
needed for these houses, here in Ohio,
and how to put it in for best results.

G. W.

My advice is to heat the plant in ques-
tion with hot water instead of steam.
It is too small to economically use steam,
unless you have automatic diaphragms
to regulate the drafts and dampers,
which can of course be used on an up-
right tubular boiler, but which as a rule
work best on a magazine or self -fed type
of boiler. I will state the piping for
both systems of heating and you may
choose.

Steam: Carry a 2-inch riser under the
ridge of each house from the boiler to
the far end and return by eight 1-inch
pipes, six on the outside wall and two
on the middle partition of each house.
Hot water: Use a 2-inch flow as above,
and eight 1%-inch returns, distributed
as above stated, six on the outside walls
and two on the partition in each house,
thus making sixteen lines of 1-inch
steam pipe in addition to the flow pipes
for the two houses; or sixteen li^inch
pipes arranged in like manner for the
hot water plant. For hot water an ex-
pansion tank should be carried twelve to
fifteen feet above the highest point of
the piping in the houses and connected
to the main return close to where it en-
ters the boiler. You cannot run the
plant on a steam basis unless you sink
the boiler so the returns in the house are
at least two feet above the water line
of the boiler, while the hot water will
work without lowering the boiler.

DALLAS, TEX.

A jolly party of three, comprising
Eugene Corley, the genial private secre-
tary to Col. Green, Alex. Miller, super-
intendent of the Green Floral & Nursery
Co., and the writer, took a spin out to
inspect the comparatively new plant of
this hustling firm. It was a grand
afternoon and as we whizzed along, be-
tween gasps for breath and holding on
to the side of our express, I had some
chance of noting what great progress
has taken place in this foremost Texas
city during the last decade.

Soon the Green plant came into view
and the first thing that I noted was the

absence of the immense chimney stack
that is usually seen. Smoke consumers
are used. There are tanks for softening
water,^ an ice machine and refrigerator
vaults^ There is a boarding house, with
separate rooms for the help. There are
200,000 square feet of glass. The houses
average 28x200 feet, with cement walls,
tile drainage and solid beds. This is
recognized as the only successful method
of growing roses and carnations in this
semi-tropical climate. To see the stock
growing and the cut arranged both in
the storage vaults and in the shipping
rooms in town, one could hardly realize
that he was in a comparatively new

GENISTAS.

Will you please inform me concerning
the culture of Genista racemosa under
glass! W. B.

Cuttings inserted in sand now in a
house where the night temperature does
not exceed 55 degrees will soon root, and
if potted along as required, will make
nice, bushj plants in 6-inch pots for an-
other winter. Genistas need a lot of
pinching or clipping to keep them
shapely. They should never be subjected
to anything like forcing or the flowers
will have little substance and soon drop..
They may be wintered in any light pit
or house kept just clear of freezing and
if allowed 45 degrees to 48 degrees at
night will bloom in late winter or early
spring, when most needed.

The plants do best outdoors during the
summer, plunged in ashes or loam. They
require syringing to keep red spider in
check, as it speedily ruins them if allowed
to secure any foothold. C. W.

Lansing, Mich. — The Michigan Agri-
cultural College has completed a new
greenhouse which is to be used by the de-
partment of entomology as an insectary.
The structure is 20x50 feet and is divided
into two apartments, one of which is the
warm room, or growing room, in which
the development of the insects will be
watched during the summer conditions.
The other apartment is a cold room, in
which the insects will have an oppor-
tunity to hibernate. In order to carry
out these experiments, it is necessary to
grow the plants on which the insects
thrive best.

FLORISTS' FERTILIZERS

From now to replanting time you will need some of these. Our prices can't be beat if you insist on
having the pure article. (There are lots of "cheap" offers to be had— but an impure fertilizer is not
only valueless, but harmful, as growers all know, ana not to be used even if it costs nothing.) We
guarantee the absolute puiity of our fertilizers, as follows:

that further comment is unnecessary. Write for prices on larger quantities.

This we believe to be the coming fertilizer. Bassett & Washburn, Hinsdale, 111., after using two cars
for trial ordered 300 tons, and say: "It is fully 3 to 4 times as strong as rough manure and, being put
up in bags, not a pound is wasted, which makes it cheaper in our opinion than rough manure which
we got for freight and cost of loading."

Not only should cut flower growers give this a trial, but florists who do bedding and other planting
will find it a good seller to put on lawns. Clean. No odor. Order of

the unusual number of buds. Twenty-five
on a stalk is not unusual, although the
bulbs were only the ordinary size. White
Bomans and Golden Spur are also in
good shape.

The Jamestown exposition is closed,
and it is not thought a very regrettable
fact locally. The sum of $400 was to be

this was confined to mums, which were

HINTS ON POTTING.

Potting soils of all descriptions are
much better in tbe open air until it be-
comes necessary to remove them indoors
in order to nry them suflBciently to be fit
for use.

It is not at all necessary to keep sod
piled up for any great length of time be-
fore being used; in fact, it rather de-
tracts from its value as potting material
to keep it after the roots of the grasses
are dead.

Plants should never be potted in wet
soil, nor yet should soil that is dust-dry
be used in potting. There is a certain,
though indefinable, degree of moisture
necessary for the attainment of the ideal
in potting soil.

Under no consideration should soil be
put through a sieve unless it be soil in-
tended for use in potting up newly root-
ed cuttings. Soil passed through a sieve
is liable under most prevalent conditions
to get into an adhesive mass, totally un-
suited to the demands of the roots of
plants. B.

Louisville, Ky. — Mrs. C. W. Eeim-
crs reports splendid success with poin-
settias this year, having some magnif-
icent stock for Thanksgiving.

A STORY OF WATER SUPPLY TROUBLES

* * * He saw our ad. In the Florists' Review— sent for our catalogue and got it promptly. The

AUTOMATIC SAFETY VALVE IS CERTAINLY FINE.

"But yon are too high priced. I can buy a engine and belt driven pump and get a

common safety valve and then I have just the same thing (or less money." He did so— had it six
weelcB— it never worked just right, so he threw it out and refused to pay for it. Then he tried an-
other—the belt slipped, the safety valve leaked and got stopped up, it was not made for that
kind of work. He threw this one out, too, and said to us: "Tell me more about your

AUTOMATIC BY.PASS

and how soon you can ship me a UT AMD AMD PUHPUrO BVOXVB ?" We got his order
on Saturday, we shipped the same day by express, * * * running in his place the next Tuesday
and saved bis dried-up stock.

His letter with payment said: "Working fine. Wish you the success you so richly deserve."

POTTING CAMELLIAS.

Camellias should be potted when they
have completed their growth, and when
that takes place depends, of course, on
when the plants are started. If flowers
are wanted in November it will be neces-
sary to start them into growth early in
the season, so that they will set their
flower buds soon. It is easy to see when
they are about to set their flower buds;
the shoots cease to lengthen and they
commence to thicken at the points; the
terminal leaves attain their full size and
get solidified. This is the time to shift
the plants into larger pots; if potting is
neglected until the buds are fully formed
they will very likely drop off soon after
the operation.

Camellias do not need repotting as
often as most other hard-wooded plants
do. The pots should be well drained, and
in potting the soil should be made as firm
by means of the potting stick as the ball
of soil which the roots are already in;
otherwise, when water is applied, it will
pass through the new soil and leave the
ball dry, in which condition it is impos-
sible for the plants to remain healthy
and vigorous. F.

'E WISH you all a successful holiday trade and hope that next year's business will far surpass
that done this year. Your patronage has been much appreciated and we thank all of you
for the many favors you have shown us this season. This has been the best year we have
ever had in the forty years we have been in business, 1908 being our fortieth anniversary, but we are
looking forward to the coming year as a larger and more successful one than this.

The talk of money being short and th^t hard times are coming is without good foundation
and the wise florist is going right ahead the same as usual ^Be of good cheer ^ is the sentiment of
the season and it just fits the situation this year — don't worry; we are going to have plenty of busi-
ness and no shortness of money. People all over the country have been impressed by the great
flower exhibits, that have been made this year, and the general public are awakening to the fact that
flowers are almost a necessity — the outlook, therefore, is better for next season than it has ever been
before. There is only one thing for the business florist to do — be sure he can supply his trade. It is
almost a settled fact that the demand will be large and the one who can furnish the goods will make
the profits. Don't wait until summer, but let us talk it all over this winter while we have plenty of
time. Build more, grow more, sell more and make more is the motto for )908. Start now to get ready.

We wish you again a very Merry Christmas. . t '

AND

ABOUT SOME
REPAIR HAPPENINGS

Last week we went through a large range of
wooden houses in which about every sixth bar
was repaired at the eave line; fully half the
wooden plate had been replaced, and here and
there, all along its length, pieces of iron had been screwed on to stiffen a weak point. This is
the sort of thing this man has been doing every year for the last ten, and he doesn't know to this
day that his repair bills long ago amounted to more than the difference in expense between the
cost of those wooden houses and our Iron Frame. And see the shade-casting traps he has to
meet in competition with growers having our light, enduring, up-to-date construction. Forget
the money you made in old wooden houses along in the seventies — things are different now — you
have to be up-to-date or you are down and out these days. Write us.

B. C. Kerr contemplates making a big
change in his business in the near mf'
ture, having secured a fine plot of land
located a short distance from the town
plant. The grand hybrid tea rose, Helen
Gould, makes wood and buds almost equal
to the best Beauty. It i^ a splendid

Wm. Kutschbach has recently added
three houses and is looking for a loca-
tion to put up a large range, if business
continues to increase as it has done of
late. One of the sights of the town is
Asparagus Sprengeri grown in 3-inch
baskets, a specialty not seen elsewhere.
Mr. Kutschbach has a corner on these.

ANYTHING NEW IN ROSES?

[A paper by K. 6. Hill, of Richmond, Ind..
read before the Chicago Florists' Club December
12, 1907.]

"Anything new in roses?" is a ques-
tion propounded much more frequently
now than a few years ago, especially by
the rose growers of our country, and the
> same question is asked with even more
interest in Europe.

The rose growers charge the retail
store men with being more largely re-
sponsible than themselves for the seem-
ing indifference toward new varieties
and in this there is undoubtedly a con-
siderable degree of truth, but it must
1)6 confessed that a large number of
florists, including the growers, have
shared in this indifference. In the light
shed on the matter of novelty by the
milliner, the silk manufacturer, the dry
goods man, and in fact by all the vend-
ors of apparel, ornament and furniture,
it is a wonder that we of the florists'
profession should have been the reac-
tionaries in the matter of novelty in
roses, but we will have to admit that
such has been our past record.

A Society Lady's Protest.

It was a leading society lady in an
eastern city who gave utterance to the
protest against being compelled to use
Bride, Maid or Beauty for her frequent
functions. Her criticism was only too
Nv'ell justified and she simply voiced the
general complaint concerning the world's
preeminent flower, the rose. But a change
lias recently taken place and new varie-
ties are given a very different reception
from that accorded a few years ago.
It is well for the rose that such is the
oase, else the carnation would have con-
tinued its triumphant march to the point
i)f disputing leadership with the rose.

Believing that a radical change has
taken place and that novelty in roses
is^ being sought, the question arises :
Will we be able to meet reasonable ex-
pectations and can we provide new vari-
eties so as to satisfy this greater in-
terest! The answer is in the affirma-
tive, and it is a pleasure to record that
a considerable number of workers are
ondeavoring by hybridization and cross
fertilization to give to the rose-loving
public new forms and types.

So many qualities have to be present
in a variety that lays claim to favor
as a forcing variety that the progress
made will seem slow, but nevertheless
It 18 within the range of possibility to
gain entirely new and unique colors and
forms.

The Source of Future Varieties.

I believe, with Eobert Simpson, the
present president of the Eose Society,
that the forcing roses of the future will
come largely from an admixture of Rosa
Indica with the present hybrid perpet-
uals. In fact, do not the hybrid teas
bear witness to this prophecy? Still,
the strong old Bourbon varieties, like
Gloire des Eosomanes, should be made
to furnish their rich scarlet tones to the
newer sorts. Our task is to breed into
the tea varieties the strength, vigor,
length of stem and the finer dark shades
found among the hybrid perpetuals, us-
ing the tea section in order to secure
freedom in flowering. The varieties of
the future will not be the result of a

Rose Wm. R. Smith.

single cross between the two sections
named, but will be the result of patient
interbreeding, extending through a series
of years. I would not say that here and
there a desirable new variety may not
make its appearance as a result of a
haphazard cross, but to get at definite
results we must make careful note of
the qualities present in the progeny and
then seek to breed those missing quali-
ties into future seedlings.

We must not forget that Rosa Indica
is the one class that is to furnish the
foundation for all our forcing varie-
ties, and this is on account of its con-
tinuity of bloom. Xo matter how fine

a rose, or what the tint or length of
petal, unless it has the inherent power
to produce buds and flowers freely it
will prove practically valueless. We
have every reason to hope that we may
yet possess the ideal from the careful
crossing of the hybrid perpetuals and
the teas. We have Richmond, Chatenay,
Liberty, Killarney, all undoubtedly from
this source; hence it is within reason to
hope for others in this particular line.

The Treatment of New Varieties.

The new varieties appearing will per-
haps require more careful treatment, or
at least different cultural treatment
from that given our present forcing va-
rieties. The new varieties will require
study; perhaps some will thrive best
grafted on certain stocks, or will do best
in certain soils. A case in point is the
variety Killarney. It was Ben Dorrance
who discovered the peculiarities of this
variety and who brought it into its pres-
ent prominence. It would be well,
therefore, to give new varieties a care-
ful trial before casting them aside. My
conviction is that we have much to learn
in regard to right cultural conditions.
I am inclined to think that perhaps other
valuable varieties have been lost sight
of by their not having had proper cul-
tural treatment. We know that to grow
American Beauty successfully requires
the application of good cultural skill,
and very often this variety fails to give
best results in the hands of the most
skillful growers. Great progress has been
made in methods of culture and you
have some notable examples in this line
in your own vicinity. I mention the
cultural side of the question in order to
show how important it is that new intro-
ductions shall not be condemned too
hastily.

Some fairly saccessful rose men still
inveigh against Killarney and Richmond
because they cannot do them success-
fully, and it is only the fine showing
made by a majority of our best growers
that has given these roses the position
they deserve. Each new rose must be
studied and results carefully noted, be-
fore its cultural requirements can be
known. It is infinitely easier to master
the peculiarities of two or three sorts,
drop down into a rut with them and run
along comfortably, than to experiment,
and fail, and try again. Experimental
work is seldom comfortable work, but
buyers demand novelty and variety, and
there is nothing for it but for us to
take off our coats and get down to hard
work.

ROSE W. R. SMITH.

There are many instances where tlio
true merit of a rose has failed of gener-
al recognition at the time of its first
introduction to the trade. Killarney is
an instance. Another is Cardinal, one
of John Cook 's seedlings, which has been
considered of little value under glass,
but with which the Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
Chicago, now is making a great suc-
cess. Heller Bros., New Castle, Ind.,
point to William R. Smith as another
rose which was not received as it should
have been. This is a variety raised
some years ago by John A. Shellem, of
Philadelphia, of which little has been
heard until the present season, when Hel-
ler Bros., of the South Park Floral
Co., have taken it up and are growing
it largely because of the excellent re-
sults they have achieved with it. The
western trade first saw it growing four

or five years ago at the establishment of
the E. G. Hill Co., and Mr. Hill con-
cluded at that time that it was not a
forcing variety, but Heller Bros, find it
excellent for growing under glass April
to December, and that it is an ideal
bedder. The growth is all that could be
desired, with long, heavy stems and good
foliage. The buds are large and well
formed. The color shell-pink. It is
as much the type of Kaiserin as any
other. The Hellers say it has become
with them the most vigorous of any rose
they ever have grown and that it is
easy to handle.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Propagating*

During the process of making the cut-
tings the foliage should be kept well
moistened, so that there will be no dan-
ger of wilting. The cuttings should also
be protected from drafts and from too
dry an atmosphere, and should be put in
the propagating bench with as little de-
lay as possible.

From the time they are inserted in the
sand until root formation is completed,
they should never be allowed to approach
dryness. They should also be protected
from bright sunshine by a light shading,
which can be easily removed when the
8un ceases to shine on the bench. If this
shading is not removed and the cuttings
are allowed to form roots in a dark,
shady position, they will become soft and

life are entirely due to neglect in this
matter.

A temperature of 60 to 62 degrees in
the sand and a house temperature 8 or
10 degrees lower, with a free circulation
of air, should put the cuttings into a con-
dition to be ready for potting iu twenty-
eight or thirty days. , .

Treatment for Beauty Cuttings.

Beauty cuttings, owing to their large
and somewhat coarser texture of foliage,
require more space in the bench and
greater care in syringing, so that the
leaves may be entirely free from moist-
ure by sundown. In selecting the wood
for propagating Beauties, it is also well
to remember that in long canes the eyes
do not possess the same condition of
ripeness from base to tip, and if discrim-
ination is not used having this in view,
the cuttings cannot form roots in the
same period of time. By using short
wood, with close joints, the condition of
ripeness can be more easily attained and
also a nicer, stockier plant secured.

YELLOW FOLL^GE ON ROSES.

I should like to know what is the trou-
ble with my roses. I grow them in a
mixed house and had them very fine for
three years. This year I put the cut-
tings in sand in March and benched them
in June. They did well and looked prom-
ising up to the end of October, Since
then the leaves have been dropping and
the young growth comes of a light yel-

delicate and will be longer in starting in
the pots.

Ventilation and Temperature.

The importance of proper ventilation
during the period of root formation can-
not be overestimated, as on this depends
not only a successful strike but also the
after constitution of the plant, as many
of the ills which affect the plant in after

low color. I gave them the same treat-
ment as in the other years. Have I been
keeping them too wet, or have they been
started too late, or is it a stopping of
the root action that causes them to be-
come light yellow? Enclosed you will
find a sample of the leaves. H. F.

From the appearance of the leaves en-
closed, the plants are evidently suffer-

ing from some root trouble, probably eel
worms. There are many causes , which
could account for the condition of the
leaves, but as these same conditions pre-
vailed in the houses in former years,
when you had good success, I am inclined
to think that you have a bad case of eel
worms on your ha,nds. This can be eas-
ily determined by lifting some of the
worst affected plants and washing the
roots clear of soil. If eel worms are
present the roots will show a quantity of
tubercles from the size of a mustard seed
to that of a barley seed. These tuber-
cles are cysts containing from three to
five worms resembling eels in form. They
are very small and require microscopic
inspection to make identification sure.
For this trouble, and especially in an ad-
vanced stage, there is no known remedy.

PROPAGATING OUTDOORS.

Will you be so kind as to tell us the
best method of propagating field grown
roses in the south? We have not been
successful in propagating teas and hy-
brid teas in sand from outdoor wood.
Tea roses grow finely here outdoors, and
without any protection. If we can only
hit on a way of propagating them suc-
cessfully, we could work up a good busi- ♦
ness in this line. How are they propa-
gated in California? Our conditions are,
to some extent, similar. S. & C.

Hybrid tea and tea roses cam be prop-
agated during the summer anywhere if
conditions are made right, and probably
the best way is that of preparing a bed
outdoors by excavating to a depth of
about eighteen inches, then filling in
with stable manure up to the surround-
ing grade. After the manure has had a
few days' rest, put about three inches of
sandy soil on the top. Over this put an
inch of clean sand. Then procure the
wood for cuttings and cut it up into
cuttings of one or more eyes and insert
them in the sand in the same way cut-
tings are placed in the propagating
bench in a greenhouse. But before that
be sure to make the soil and sand firm
and level and put a board frame over
the bed. When the cuttings are in, give
them a good watering and shade them
and keep them fairly well shaded dur-
ing the daytime for at least two weeks.
Keep the foliage moist by frequent
sprinkling. The whole intent of this
method is to get a little bottom heat in
order that the cuttings will root. A
cover for the frame can be made of laths.

Another way of propagating these
roses is that of taking cuttings of the
dormant wood in fall and putting them
in boxes, pots or propagating bench in a
greenhouse to root, or plants may be
lifted late in fall and potted, which after
a short rest may be started into growth
and, when the wood is in condition, be
cut up into cuttings and these rooted in
sand and potted up when rooted. M.

ASTERS IN OREGON.

Growers of-'asters in the east will be
interested in the accompanying illustra-
tion of these flowers at the establishment
of Carl F. Ruef, of Salem, Ore., which
shows that the conditions there are cer-
tainly favorable to magnificent results.
The variety is Semple's Late Branching,
but he also had some of Henderson's
Invincible which were equally good.
Some of the plants had as high as
twenty-five blooms and the size of the
flower may be determined from the pic-

FORCING ULY OF THE VALLEY.

At a meeting of the Philadelphia Flo-
rists' Club, November 5, Walter P.
Stokes delivered an interesting informal
talk on forcing lily of the valley. Mr.
Stokes' remarks were almost wholly ex-
temporaneous, which will account for the
shortcomings of the following notes,
taken from memory:

"I have come here at the request
of the essay committee, not so much to
tell you what I know about forcing lily
of the valley as to learn something that
I do not know. I will tell you gladly
all the little that I know without re-
serve, and I hope that you will straighten
out some of the points that have trou-
bled me and give me your experience.
When I took up valley forcing about
six years ago I did it with a definite
aim, to produce a maximum amount of
money from a minimum amount of
glass. It seemed to me that I could
do this better with valley than with
anything else. When I started I knew
nothing whatever about forcing the pips,
and I had no man who knew anything,
either. There was therefore only one
thing to do; that was, to begin. What
I know I have learned by experience.
I think the first year's experience cost
me $500 or .$1,000; since then I have
secured results.

"The selection of pips is the first
and most important matter in valley
forcing. I have found it impossible
to secure good valley from cheap pips;
so I buy only the best. I am told that
other growers are able to secure good
valley from cheap pips; I should like
to be taught how to do this. I endeavoT
to secure only the best Berlin valley,
selected stock, securing part from im-
porters, but importing the greater part
myself. The great difficulty in pips as
they are bunched todav is that the strong

pips with heavy, vigorous roots are put
on the outside row, while in the center
of the bunch are pips of a lower grade,
with poor roots. An honest valley grower
should never allow his pips to be bunched
in this way. Selected pips are of course
scarcer than second or third grade stock,
for on securing these pips depends the
quality of the flowers.

"My aim has been to have valley
the entire season through,, and for this
purpose I depend on cold storage stock
for a great part of the year. When
the pips arrive in November I make a
point of having them taken out of the
cases and repacked before they go into
cold storage. We use for this purpose
ten bales of sphagnum moss, dampened,
and four cartloads of sand, in addition
to the packing already in the cases. The
object of this is that when the pips are
taken out of the cold storage they will
be crisp and fresh, whereas were they
to dry out and shrivel the percentage
of loss would be much larger.

"It has been claimed that valley im-
ported in November can be forced success-
fully for Christmas, but this I find is too
expensive, the percentage of loss being
much greater than when these pips are
carried over until January 15 or later.
Care is required in calculating the time
of forcing, especially when valley is re-
quired throughout the year; this time
differs with the age of the pips. Pips
taken out of cold storage in January
require four weeks to force; in March
and April this time is reduced to three
weeks; in July it is decreased to sixteen
or eighteen days, while in October two
weeks is sufficient. When a case of pips
is brought out of cold storage and al-
lowed to thaw, we find they are soft; it
is of great value to allow these pips to
remain in the case in a warm tempera-
ture for twenty-four hours, in order to
harden them before placing them in
heat. This decreases the percentage of
loss.

"I would estimate the cost of forcing
valley as follows: Original cost of pips
per thousand, say $12; average cost of
cold storage, $1 ; average waste, say
eight per cent, 95 cents; commission for

selling, say fifteen per cent, $3.45; ex-
pressage, 50 cents; labor, fuel and bench
room, say $2; total cost to produce,
$19.90. With an average price of $3
per hundred for select stock and $2 for
ordinary, it will be seen that there is a
fair profit, provided this important item
of waste is kept down.

"The forcing methods of valley are
so well known that I will only say that
we use sand, though sifted ashes or
sphagnum moss will do just as well,
changing it every four months to keep
it sweet. The bottom temperature ia
kept at 75 or 80 degrfees, the top cooler.
A heavy green duck is used for cover-
ing the forcing pips during the first two
weeks; after that a lath shade is ex-
cellent. Full light may be admitted
during the hardening process, providing
the sun be excluded. We place our
rows of pips about four inches apart,
packing as closely in the row ae pos-
sible; 150 to a 5-foot bench is the aver-
age. Our aim is to be able to cut all
the flowei-8 at once from a given batch,
as it does not pay to go over them sev-
eral times.

"It is said that valley can be grown
anywhere. While this is true, I think
the quality of my valley has been im-
proved by growing it in my new houses,
i)uilt by the King Construction Co. They
are light and airy, fully twelve feet to
the ridge and twenty-eight feet wide,
without a post throughout."

Mr. Stokes exhibited two bunches of
valley, one bunch containing long, slen-
der pips with heavy roots, denoting
vigor; the other containing short pips
with scrubby roots; the one select, the
other ordinary. He also exhibited two
bunches of his fine Floracroft valley,
one bunch in Philadelphia style (each
spike of bells with its foliage attached),
the other in the New York style (with
the spikes pulled loose and bunched
• above their foliage). In answer to a
question, Mr. Stokes said that. Hamburg
valley could be secured for $2 per thou-
sand less than Berlin pips; also that the
Hamburg were grown in heavier soil,
but he had no experience with them.

SHASTA DAISIES.

I would like to hear from some one
■who has had experience with Shasta
daisies. I have about 300 plants in the
field ready for next year's blooming
outdoors. This year, the first year from
seeds, they gave me some fine flowers,
many measuring four and five inches.
These were shipped with, my other flowers
and were given X grade, but some com-
plaints came to me that sometimes they
withered on their journey and could not
be revived. They were usually cut in the
morning, put in a cool cellar in water
until evening before being shipped, reach-

ing their destination early next morning.
Now, is there any special treatment
which could be given them which would
prevent them from withering, or which
would insute their shipping in better con-
dition? Will Queen Alexandra winter
outdoors, in New York, and will it give
as fine flowers and as good returns as
the Shasta daisy, marketed during the
summer months? L. J. B.

Probably if your daisies were cut in
the evening and kept in cold water
twenty-four hours before shipping they
would carry better. There is no good
reason why these flowers, if fresh and

allowed to remain in water that length
of time, should not travel perfectly for
any reasonable distance.

If you refer to Marguerite Queen Al-
exandra, the only daisy of that name v
of which I have knowledge, this is
not a hardy plant and any flowers
produced in summer are of inferior qual-
ity. Grown under glass it is one of the
best marguerites and may be had in
bloom in succession from Thanksgiving
until Memorial day. The flowers are
smaller than those of the Shasta daisy,
but sell well in bunches in winter and
early spring. Its principal value, how-
ever, is as a pot plant. C. W.

BUD-ROT IN CARNATIONS.

In answer to the query of F. R. H.,
on page 7 of the Review of November
28, I wish to say that the so-called eggs
found in rotting carnation buds are
mites and they are associated with a
fungus which is the direct cause of the
rotting. The large, white, egg-like body
is the abdomen of the female mite and
is filled with eggs. The rest of the body,
including the head and legs, is very
minute. The only method of eradicat-
ing this mite and disease is by the pick-
ing and destruction of the infested buds.
The mite itself, which is probably the
means of transmitting the disease to
other buds, spreads very slowly when in
the greenhouse and, if the above method
is employed, the premises should be
made free from this pest within a month
or so at the most. The mites are prob-
ably in the sod soil when brought into
the houses, and from there they get
upon the carnations.

I have already found this bud-rot in
some Chicago greenhouses. I would like
to hear from those who have found it in
their carnations and especially from
florists outside of Chicago, with regard
to the amount of injury it is doing.

WATER FOR CARNATIONS.

Is well water good to water carna-
tions with, or should it be of the same
temperature as the house! H. B.

Well water, which is free from alkilli,
such as we find all through this section
of the country, is as good to water plants
with as any you can get. As to the
temperature, I will say that unless it
is icy cold it will need no tempering.
For syringing roses, however, most grow-
ers prefer it warmed to about 50 de-

grees, not because it would hurt the
plants, but because at that temperature
it will not lower the temperature in the
house so much as it does when it is
40 degrees or colder. The sudden change
is apt to bring on mildew, etc. Carna-
tions being run cooler, the drop in tem-
perature would not be so noticeable, and
a cooler water can be used even for
spraying. A. F. J. B.

CARNATIONS GO TO SLEEP.

I am perplexed at the way my carna-
tions act this year. I gave them a lib-
eral top dressing of wood ashes and they
never before were so beautiful, large and
brilliant, but they do not keep so long.
In two days after picking, they go
gently to sleep. Now, were they over-
stimulated or is this a general state this
year? JVill some of the experts come
forward and give us their opinion? Was
it the ashes, or, as a Christian Science
lady told me, want of harmony? She
says she practices that art and her plants
do beautifully. Dr. Review, give us
your version and thus oblige, perhaps,
a good many of your readers, and most
of all yours truly, J. W.

Your liberality with the wood ashes
is, no doubt, the primary cause of your
carnations being of poor texture, though
the trouble might not have become so
serious if it had been supplemented with
proper treatment. Any feeding at this
time of the year should be accompanied
by a corresponding amount of ventilation
to begin with. This will do more to
counteract the bad effects of an overdose
than anything, because it helps to build
up the plant and promotes vigorous
growth as much as the food does, only
it works for sturdiness, while the food
promotes size mainly. By this I do not
mean a lowering of the temperature. In
fact, a rise of 2 degrees would be pref-
erable. But extra steam should be sup-

plied to keep the temperature at the
proper level, and it should be kept regu-
lar, even more so than is customarj-.
Watering, also, should be done more care-
fully and the soil kept very uniform in
moisture and not too wet. A plant which
is growing at a moderate gait is able to
stand more or less variation in these
matters without serious harm, but a
plant which is being pushed to the
very limit is easily unbalanced and
quickly ruined. Perhaps that is what
your lady friend meant by harmony.
It is the only kind of harmony I know
of. Harmony with the laws of nature
must be practiced in the cultivation of
plants under gla^s as well as out o^
doors. A. F. J. BAxni.

USE OF HORN DUST.

I should like to ask your opinion on
using buffalo horn dust, and also deer
horn dust, in top dressing for carna-
tions. I can get a lot of it in my
locality and should like to know whether
it is good or not. H. B.

You will find horn dust a splendid
material to use on your growing crops.
The finer it is ground the better it is,
because, like bone meal, it is slpw in de-
composition. Use it in quantity about
as you would bone and you can use it
very largely in place of the bone. I
would suggest that you cut down the
bone to one-half and use the horn dust
in place of the other half. A. F. J. B.

ONE LINE OF VENTILATORS.

tion this winter, for a propagating room.
The remainder of the house is not piped.
On a sunny day, with the thermometer
at 25 degrees above zero, I am unable to
lower the inside temperature under 70
degrees when the water is shut off en-
tirely from half the pipes and the others
only slightly warm to the hand. Do you
think I will be able to grow good carna;
tions in the remainder of the house, with
the same amount of ventilation? I was
assured by a prominent greenhouse build-
ing firm that the single line would be
sufficient, but I have some misgivings,
and think it will be difficult to prevent
the temperature from rising to 85 or
90 degrees in fair weather in the month
of September. "Will it be necessary to
provide another line of ventilators on
the other side? E. C. B.

If you have glass below the eave plates
on each side of your house, you can
make out very well with the one row of
ventilators at the top. If there is eigh-
teen inches of glass in the ventilators,
the sash and all will likely measure about
twenty-four inches. By taking out every
third pane of glass in the sides when
warm weather sets in and having them
out until cooler weather sets in again in
the fall, you will be able to provide
enough ventilators for carnations. The
most up-to-date houses are now built with
ventilators on both sides of the ridge,
using the same number of vents and
placing them alternately. The advan-
tages of this method are many. In the
winter, when a cold wind is likely to
be blowing, you can open the ventilators

on the side opposite the wind and no
cold draft will strike the plants. In
the summer, under the old method, if
a strong wind is blowing into the ventila-
tors it will hold the heat in the house;
whereas, if there are ventilators on the
opposite side of the ridg^ the wind will
go through and take the heat along out.
The ventilation on the sides can also be
used to good advantage on such houses.

VISIT TO FRAMINGHAM.

It was unfortunate that a severe snow
storm, the heaviest of the season, should
have started just as the heavily laden
special car left Park square, Boston,
for Framingham on the club field day,
but the elements did not prevent a most
enjoyable and profitable outing. Seven-
ty-five journeyed on the special car, pro-
vided by Mr. Goddard, while other ar-
rivals made a total attendance of 100.
The first stop was at J. T. Butter-
worth's. Here orchids are a special
feature. Of Cypripedium insigne, a su-
perb lot were in flower. Many are
huge specimens, but all were flowering
freely, one plant carrying eighty-five
flowers, others nearly as many. A fine
lot of Cattleya Trianse and C. Percivali-
ana were just coming in season, also
Lffilia aneeps, including some fine white
forms, and L. autumnalis. A large
batch of C. intermedia and C. Harris-
onise, recently imported, were noted.

A large house of carnations looked
well. Callas filled one house and were
blooming freely. Lily of the valley.

Roman hyacinths and Paper Whites are
grown in quantity. Some Trumpet ma-
jor narcissi promised to be in flower for
Christmas.

The next move was to S. J. God-
dard's, where several large houses of
carnations were the star attraction. In
whites. White Perfection was extra fine
and the best of its color. A small lot of
Ijady Bountiful looked well. White En-
chantress is well thought of, and will be
grown more heavily another season. A
bench of The Queen was smothered with
bloom. This sort still proves a bread
and butter one.

Rose-pink Enchantress was a grand
sight and is considered far the best of
its color. Winsor was short-stemmed
and is not thought necessary with such
a carnation as Rose-pink Enchantress to
fall back on. Helen Goddard looked
remarkably well and is evidently right
at home here. Ceres, a seedling just
named and raised here, will be largely
grown another year. It is of a Scott
shade of pink. Enchantress itself is, of
course, still a necessity. Priscilla is
chiefly grown as a variegated. The crop
of flowers and buds on this were im-
mense, flowers three and one-half inches
across and stems twenty-four to thirty
inches long holding up the flower finely.
Habit is good, every shoot running up to
flower and no surplus grass. Form of
flower is ideal, symmetrical and of the
build of its pollen parent. Enchantress.

Mr. Goddard still considers Victory
the best scarlet commercially, although
Beacon is fine now and somewhat bright-
er in color. A small lot of Britannia

carried some good flowers, but these were
rather short-stemmed compared to Ameri-
can varieties. Octoroon is the best crim-
son, coming in earlier than Fenn, of a
better color and with no split calyxes.
Fair Maid will not be grown after the
present season. A pure white sport
looked well and. should prove valuable to
all who can grow Fair Maid profitably.
A nice lot of cyclamens, geraniums
and azaleas were ready for Christmas
retail trade, while good batches of mar-
guerites, mignonette, single and double
violets, French Trumpet major narcissi
and other flowers for the same occasion
were noted. The propagating house con-
tained quantities of carnation cuttings.
Everything on the place was the picture
of neatness.

A short walk took the visitors to
William Nicholson's, where carnations
are also a prime attraction. Mr. Nichol-
son, Sr., has been compelled to refrain
from active duties for a year, being run
down by many years of hard work, but
it is hoped will soon be himself again.
His stalwart son, William E. Nicholson,
now has charge of the place and its
condition goes to show that the son is
a true chip of the old block, for every-
thing was in good shape. Carnations
were fine, stems long and stiff and
blooms large. A large house of After-
glow was keenly scrutinized. Many of
the plants were cut down for stock, but
sufficient were in evidence to prove the
merits of this fine carnation. In stem,
form and color it is ideal, and it is
destined to become one of the most popu-
lar varieties another season. Heavy
orders have already been placed for
it. In light pinks. Enchantress was
good. Some Fair Maid are still grown,
but do not compare with Enchantress.
Rose-pink Enchantress was fine. Win-
sor, while it was blooming freely, was
short-stemmed and had all the charac-
teristics of Lawson. It will probably
be fine later in the season. In scarlet.
Beacon seemed to be the leader. Victory
does not do so well. Ked Chief, a new
sort, is proving satisfactory. In crim-
sons, Harry Fenn is mostly depended
upon. In whites, we were pleased to
see Governor Wolcott stiil grown finely.
White Perfection was splendid. Some
Bountiful are still grown and Queen is
looked upon as a money-making sort.
Prosperity does probably as well here as
anywhere in America and some fine
flowers were open, and a good crop in
sight for Christmas. A few Mrs. Patten
are still grown. Quite a number of
promising seedlings are on trial.

In addition to carnations a general
assortment of other florists' stock is
handled. White and yellow marguerites
are a specialty and were already flower-
ing nicely. Some magnificent mignonette
attracted much notice. Cyclamens, gera-
niums, stevia and other seasonable plants
were in good shape for Christmas. Many
thousands of shamrocks were coming
along for St. Patrick's day. Farquhar
violets in pots were extra fine.

After an inspection of the greenhouses
a generous collation was served, after
which President Westwood, on behalf of
the club, called for cheers for the en-
tertainers, which were given with a will.
Bemarks were made by Messrs. F. E.
Palmer, T. J. Grey, S, J. Goddard, W.
A. Hastingsj J. T. Butterworth, W. Nich-
olson and others, after which a short
walk carried the visitors to their car,
which arrived in Boston about 6:30.
Snow still fell heavily at this time, and
owing to train delays, consequent on |

snow blockades, it was morning before
some of the members reached home, but
all pronounced the outing most interest-
ing and none complained of the little
wetting they got. W. N. C.

CURE FOR MILLEPEDS.

Kindly advise me as to a good remedy
for the thousand-legged worm, which
infests our soil to such an extent as to
ruin our crop of sweet peas, eating the
seeds and also damaging the roots of
other plants, so they make only a stunt-
ed growth. A. A. -

The thousand-legged pest referred to
is very annoying and destructive, when
it is present in such numbers as de-
scribed. Sterilization of the compost on
the benches or on the compost heap
before housing makes sure work of this
and all other pests. This remedy is

out of the question on benches with grow-
ing plants, of course, and I would sug-
gest the use of carbon bisulphide in
your benches. Make holes eighteen inch-
es apart each way with a pointed stick,
and pour in a few drops of the carbon in
each hole, covering it up immediately.
Go over the whole of your benches in
this way and, while it may consume
some time and be a little tedious, it
will undoubtedly kill the thousand-legs.
It is better to have the soil quite moist
when applying this remedy. Be careful
not to use any matches or naked light
while using this remedy, as it is explosive.
It will not harm any of your plants in
the least.

Tobacco dust dropped on the surface
of the benches is occasionally used to
good advantage, but I think you will
find the carbon bisulphide remedy the
most effective. Another season it will
pay to sterilize your compost. C. W.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

Slipper and Hamper.

In each of the accompanying illus-
trations the slipper is filled with gar-
denias, and may be used as a favor at
a cotillon, as a gift, or even as a dinner-
table decoration. The hamper, filled with
lilies of the valley, orchids and Farley-
ense, is arranged with the charming
taste which always characterizes the work
of Charles Henry Fox, at the Sign of
the Bose, Philadelphia.

TEMPERATURE FOR ICE-BOX.

Please let Ae know the proper tem-
perature for a refrigerator for keeping
cut flowers.

W. E. H.

Experience has shown that slightly
different degrees of temperature and
moisture are best adapted to keeping
different varieties of cut flowers, but
for a general purpose ice-box in the re-
tail store, a box which runs 52 to 55
degrees will answer well. R. F. D.

PLANT NOMENCLATURE.

"We call the rose the queen of flow-
ers, and the Chinese call the tree peony
meu-tang, the king of flowers. In
Greek it was the name of a god of
mythology.

"Another mythical personage com-
memorated in a flower is Narcissus, the
beautiful youth who fell in love with his
own image. He pined away, and was
metamorphosed into the flower. This,
at any rate, was th,e view at the time of
Ovid, though there is some reason to sup-
pose that in earUer times narcissus was
the word used for what was later called
the hyacinth, and was probably our
Martagon lily.

"The tobacco plant got its name
through a curious mistake. The Span-
iards adopted the word from the In-
dians of Cuba, but instead of taking the

word 'cohiba, ' which was the name of
the plant, they took 'tobacco,' which
was the name of the pipe in which it
was smoked. The botanical name of the
tobacco plant, nicotiana, is in honor of
Jean Nicot, French ambassador to Por-
tugal, who sent seeds of the plant to
Queen Catherine de' Medici.

* ' The pansy is said to have received
its name from its quaint shape. It is
the French pensfie, that is, thought, the
'There is pansies, that's for thoughts,'
of Ophelia. It provokes thought or
fancy. Botanically the pansy is a viola,
derived by cultivation from Viola tri-
color, and perhaps others. Florists,
however, seek to restrict the word
'viola' to a strain of bedding pansies,
thus ignoring the fact that all pansies
are violas. A country gardener, a great
prizetaker at the local shows, heard of
the much advertised violas and deter-
mined to try some. 'They were nobbut
pansies,' he remarked contemptuously
after seeing them flower, 'and not very
good 'ens at that ! ' So the florist who
grows his prize ranunculus ignores the
fact that the plebeian buttercup which
disfigures his lawn is also a ranunculus.
And in using the words 'hepatica' and
'auricula' we lose sight of the fact that
the former is an anemone and the latter
a primula."

CRAMBE CORDIFOLL\.

I have some roots of Crambe cordi-
folia given to me to grow, which were
sent here ftpm England, and I do not
know how to handle them. They are
new to me. In giving me this informa-
tion you will greatly oblige me.

G. A.

Crambe cordifolia is a well known
hardy herbaceous perennial in Europe;
a member of the crucifersB family and a
native of the Caucasus. It carries large
leaves and attains a height of six to
seven feet. The crambes are but little
grown in America, although they are

. NARCISSI AND HYAQNTHS.

Is it too late to plant narcissi and hya-
cinths for Easter? R. C. E.

It is getting a little late to plant hya-
cinths and narcissi to flower for Easter.
It is true the latter floral carnival also
comes late this year and if you can get
some bulbs into the soil right away they
will be in season all right. The quality
of the flowers will not equal that of
bulbs potted some weeks ago, as bulbs
have by this time exhausted some of their
strength by being so long out of the soil.

TROUBLE WITH SWEET PEAS.

I have a solid bed of sweet peas. The
bed is above the floor level. The peas
were planted the last week of August.
The vines look fine, but the buds are
blighting. The bed has no drainage, but
80 far as I understand peas like plenty

of water and on examining the soil it
does not seem too wet. They have had
a little ventilation every night but one
or two; temperature from 45 to 55 de-
grees. What do you advise?

C. A. M.

Your sweet peas would have done much
better on a raised bench in winter. It
is true that these flowers love plenty
of moisture, but even outdoors they must
have good drainage. No doubt they
would do well with you for late winter
or early spring flowering, but few
flowering plants^ succeed well in solid
beds in winter. * In benches the roots
are warmer and take lots of water. In
beds, little watering is possible, which
is a disadvantage at this dark season.

I would advise a temperature of 45
to 50 degrees at night, with a rise of 5
to 10 degrees in the daytime. Keep the
surface of the bed stirred and let it
dry out pretty well before giving any
more water. Do not give any liquid
manure or chemical top-dressings. Ven-
tilate as you have done and your plants
will improve after the New Year. An-
other year use a raised bench for your
winter crop and the solid beds for peas
to flower after February. C. W.

GLADIOLI FOR MEMORIAL DAY.

When should gladioli be planted to
have in bloom by Decoration day? How

sliould they be cared for/ Will have to
grow them in a carnation house. Can
they be planted where carnation plants
have died out? R. C. E.

The small-bulbed gladioli, of the Col-
villei and nanus types, if placed in flats
now will bloom for Memorial day. They
can be held in a frame or pit until March
and then grown along in a cool house.
The large-bulbed section would be quite
suitable to grow where your carnations
have died out, and if planted at the end
of January will come in all right for
Memorial day. A few suitable forcing
varieties are May, Auglsta and Shake-
speare. Any of the Gandavensis section
will come in if planted two weeks ear-
lier than the sorts named. Separate
shades of color would be preferable to
mixtures. They cost a little more but
sell much more readilv. C.W.

LE CANDEUR AS A POT TULIP.

Culture under glass often redeems an
otherwise commonplace variety, be it tu-
lip or other flower, and it certainly has
a marked effect upon the late double
white tulip called Le Candeur, says the
Gardener's Magazine. Outdoors this is
often unsatisfactory, being greenish in
color, and often of poor shape. Under
glass it is almost, if not quite, the best
double white tulip we have. I once did

a turn in a nursery where 100,000 bulbs
of this were grown annually. They were
placed thickly together in boxes, which
were piled one on another and covered
with ashes outdoors. Before the foli-
age was too crowded, the bulbs were

placed in 4i/i>-in(h pots, and had a ready
sale at a good price. This is a rough-
and-ready method of tulip growing, but
it answered well, and should be worth
adopting where labor is scarce and space
at a preininm.

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

Winter Protection.

Where the needful winter protection
has not yet been given, it would be well
to afford it as soon as possible. We may
expect zero temperatures with some regii-
larity, notwithstanding all predictions of
weather sharps about a mild winter. Pan-
sies winter very well outdoors in many
places in the coldest eastern states if on
well drained ground where no water will
lie, and mulched lightly with leaves or
straw kept in position by hemlock or pine
boughs. A heavy covering is hurtful; so
merely cover the plants. Similar protec-
tion should be given hollyhocks and any
other biennials or perennials of doubtful
hardiness.

Khododendrons, more especially the Ca-
tawbiense hybrids, need protection for a
few years after being planted in the
colder states, and in very severe locations
will require covering every winter. A
heavy mulching of leaves, well packed in
among the bushes, will keep the roots
moist and prevent their becoming frozen.
A framework covering of evergreen
boughs above the tops of the rhododen-
drons makes an ideal protection. The
great damage comes late in the winter,
when we get severe frosts followed by
warm, bright days. This is the time when
the covering is of the greatest service.
There are a number of so-called ironclad
American hybrids, all Catawbiense hy-
brids raised in Europe, which, once well
established and given some shade from
the morning sun, will not need protec-
tion. Such sorts as Delicatissimum, Al-
bum elegans, Eoseum elegans, Everestia-
num, Charles Dickens, C. S. Sargent, Ket-
tledrum, Caractacus and some others are
included in this list.

Preparing Christmas Plants.

All florists do a considerable pot plant
trade at Christmas, if at all, especially if
the weather is not too severe. All salable
plants should be gotten into as present-
able a shape as possible. Scrub pots
clean; dirty pots are aniabomination and
any.one sending out such to customers de-
serves a severe calling down. Do any nec-
essary staking and remove dead or dying
foliage. Even a plant but moderately
well grown looks presentable under these
conditions. If you have a small division
you can use in which to display your best
pot plants, all the better. Even a bench
with a nice assortment will be more apt
to create buying than the same plants
would be if scattered here and there over
your establishment.

While flowering plants take precedence
over foliage varieties at Christmas, there
is usually some call for palms, Boston
and other forns, araucarias, ficus and
other sorts. Ferns in shallow pans for

tables are gpnerally in demand, as are
the same pans if filled with colored
leaved plants in variety. These should
have been filled some days ago. Light
and graceful palms, such as Cocos Wed-
delliana, make suitable subjects for cen-
terpieces. See that the leaves are clean
on all foliaged plants.

Christmas weather is a variable quan-
tity, some years below zero and probably
a year later warm enough for frogs to
peep and bluebirds to sing. In all like-
lihood, however, plants you sell will re-
quire wrapping up, and in sharp, frosty
weather use plenty of paper and see that
no plants are allowed to go out if insuf-
ficiently protected. Your customers have

a right to expect to receive plants in as
good shape as when they viewed them at
the greenhouses or store. Unless you are
something of a floral artist, do not essay
to decorate with ribbons. We have al-
ways hitherto failed to see much beauty
in this ornamentation, although some-
times the judicious use of a little ribbon
will make a rather miserable looking
plant present a better appearance, but
well grown specimens need none of this
decoration.

Mijfnonette.

You should have some fine spikes of
mignonette for the holidays if your
plants are from seed sown early in Aug-

ust and have been grown cool. It is the
height of folly to attempt any gentle
forcing at any time, for mignonette sim-
ply will not endure it. A temperature of
45 degrees at night is ample. Attend to
the necessary disbudding and supporting
and, as the benches are now well filled
with roots, a surfacing of well decayed
cow manure broken up finely and spread
evenly over the soil will be found bene-
ficial. Use great care in fumigating.
Mignonette is very susceptible to injury
from tobacco smoke, and if the leaves
are even slightly singed the flowers will
be almost unsalable. If you chance to
have an excellent strain of mignonette,
it will pay to mark and select one or
two of the .best spikes for seed.

Gladioli.

If you have some unoccupied bench
space and are uncertain what to do with
it, make a planting of gladioli. The
bulbs of the large flowered or Gandaven-
sis type are now ready. Such varieties
as May and Shakespeare force well. The
separate shades of the Groflf hybrids are
very pretty and Childs' fine variety,
America, the peer of this class, is down
in price sufficiently to make it profitable
to grow where you can secure a fair
price for the flower stalks. Sometimes
carnations die out with stem-rot and a
catch crop is needed. Gladioli then fill
the bill very nicely. Plant the bulbs
three inches deep. Make the rows a foot
apart, allowing the bulbs four inches of
space in the rows.

Spiraea*

Though sometimes called astilbe, the
old name of spiraea dies hard. In fact,
we doubt if the old name does not sur-
vive the new one. The newly imported
roots are at hand and, after being
soaked, exposed to frost and potted up,
may be stored in any place just clear of
freezing. In securing stock for 1908, do
not plant too much of the old S. Japon-
ica. The improved sorts, such as Queen
Alexandra, pink; astilboides, grandiflora,
Gladstone and others, are superior either
as pot plants or for cutting purposes.
Better not try any forcii% until after
Christmas, after which date it will begin
to start naturally.

Dielytra Spectabilis.

The well known bleeding heart, Diely-
tra or Dieentra spectabilis, with its deep
rosy red flowers, makes a pretty pot
plant for spring sales. While the spi-
raeas will stand very hard forcing, the
dicentras are impatient of such treat-
ment and should be started in gentle
heat, such as a carnation house would af-
ford. Keep them well up to the Bght
at all times.

Bouvardias.

If you have a few nicely flowered pots
of scarlet bouvardias, they will probably
sell at Christmas. Other colors will go
more slowly. The time was when this
flower was vastly more popular than it
is today, but even now it fills an accept-
able place in the market. Plants are
much the best gyown in benches in a
night temperature of 55 to 60 degrees.
The hose must be worked among them
to keep mealy bug in check, as it seems
to possess a peculiar liking for this
plant. To increase your stock and se-
cure strong plants for 1908, put in a
batch of root cuttings in a propagating
bed. Use the thickest portions of the
roots, cut in pieces about half an inch
long and lay them quite thickly on the

The pots are now well filled with roots

BEGONIA GLOIRE DE LORRAINE.

Its History.

Among the many species of winter
flowering plants in cultivation at the
present time, we can find none more beau-
tiful or more useful than this charming
begonia. For winter use, for the florist
and private gardener alike, it could hard-
ly be dispensed with.

Introduced in 1892 by Lemoine, of
Paris, it is the result of a cross between
Begonia Dregei and B. Socotrana, and
is in itself a lasting memorial to the
enterprise and horticultural skill of this
noted firm. "When first introduced it at
once caught the public fancy, and each
succeeding year has seen its popularity
going up by leaps and bounds, until at
the present day it is grown in enormous
quantities in almost every country in the
world. In London, Paris, Berlin or St.
Petersburg, let us go where we will, it
is regarded by all as indispensable.

Its Usefulness.

In America it finds a ready sale, and
I am sure there are few private gar-
deners who do not know its worth for
house and table decoration. Invariably
in the early months of the year, plants of
any decorative value are exceedingly
scarce, and it is here that Lorraines prove
their value. They possess all the points
of a good house plant, good color and
graceful habit, last well, and, most im-
portant of all, are a prime favorite with
the ladies.

Its Culture.

These plants are of comparatively easy
culture. They succeed best when grown
in frames during the summer months,
and with a little ordinary care and at-
tention will give good returns from De-
cember until well on in February. We
usually start to put in cuttings about
the second week in January. To some
people this may appear a trifle early to
start propagating. I find, however, that
if good, large specimens are required for
early winter work, it is best to get a
batch of cuttings in as early as possible,
and this date is none too early. Suc-
cessive batches may be rooted until well
on in the summer. By rooting cuttings
at frequent intervals, we are enabled to
have plants by Christmas, in sizes ranging
from an 8-inch pot down to small stuff
in threes. I have always found small
plants exceedingly useful for decorative
work, such as table decoration, the edges
of groups, etc. They may be handled
with impunity.

Striking the Cuttings.

To strike the cuttings successfully re-
quires a good bottom heat. A propagat-
ing case with hot water or steam pipes
running underneath suits them admir-
ably, and if the cuttings are inserted in
nice, clean sand, and kept moderately
moist, every one should root well. When
the cuttings are well rooted, pot them
off into twos, and place them close
to the glass in a house where the
temperature runs from 60 to 65 de-
grees, taking care that they are always
kept well shaded. Syringing may be
done on all favorable occasions.

The Final Potting.

During the first week in June the
main batch of plants should be in a
condition to receive their final potting.
For this shift a good mixture to use is
a soil composed of two parts loam, one
part good, flaky leaf soil, a small quan-
tity of old mushroom manure, and plenty
of good, coarse sand. When potting, on
no account use a rammer, or the result
will be disastrous. Light potting is one
of the secrets of the successful begonia
grower. Another great point to remem-
ber is to avoid crowding. Give your
plants plenty of room at all times to
develop, and keep in mind the old say-
ing that "one plant grown well is equal
to half a dozen inferior specimens."

Judicious Feeding.

About August Lorraines begin to make
very rapid growth, and it is best about
this time to assist them as much as pos-

Bible, by a little judicious feeding. I
find weak soot water a very good stimu-
lant; also a little Clay's fertilizer, dis-
solved in the water, occasionally is very
beneficial. The best plan I know of for
preventing leaf disease is to scatter dry
soot between the pots. It not only pre-
vents disease, but also has a stimulating
effect on the foliage.

When staking your plants, it pays to
use small, green-painted stakes, and to
make the ties with green raffia. It is
wonderful how a little extra care in this
respect will add to the value of each*
plant.

Housing the Plants.

I should like, before closing, to write
a few words about housing begonias.
I may say that there is no way in which
the deadening formalism of plant houses
may be more effectually removed than by a
little care and taste in the arrangement
of our plants. "With florists and private
gardeners alike it will give the most
pleasing results, and will impress upon

others the beaaty and value for decora-
tive purposes of each particular class
of plants. What do we see as a general
rulef Perhaps a good batch of Lor-
raines, which, if carefully staked and
artistically arranged, would look attract-
ive and be a credit to the grower, but
on the other hand are spoiled for want
of a few extra stakes and a little taste
in their arrangement.

A Model Begonia House.

The accompanying illustration is a
splendid example of what may be ac-.
complished in this respect. No words of
mine could give the reader an adequate
idea of the glorious brilliance of this
magnificent range of begonias. The gen-
eral brilliance of effect was truly be-
wildering. While there was here a fixed
idea prevailing in the grouping and ar-
rangement, we entirely escaped anything
which might be called monotony in de-
tail or outline.

The large plants in this establishment
were flowered in 8-inch pots, and av-

eraged three feet in height and about the
same through. The main batch, however,
were in 6-inch pots and pans, this being
the most serviceable size for general use.
For the edge of the benches plants in
4-inch pots were used; these were al-
lowed to grow naturally, without any
staking whatever.

*.'. Beautifying the Roof.

A very attractive feature of this range
was the method of taking away the bare-
ness of the roof. For this purpose hun-
dreds of small cork baskets were used,
and the effect when in flower was most
satisfactory.

At the present time we have but two
distinct colors in this class of begonias.
Looking into the future, however, I can
see a day coming when yellow and scar-
let will be included in the number. When
that time comes, then indeed begonias
will be booming, and the critics who tell
us that Lorraines are much too common
will take a back seat.

REVIEW OF THE SEASON.

Profit or Loss.

, The season is practically over and we
can now look back over it and draw a
few lessons. For many growers the sea-
son has been a disastrous one and, while
the financial trouble did not affect all
parts of the country so much as it did
my section (New York), still its effects
are everywhere felt to a greater or
less extent. The market started out
bravely and the early kinds were bring-
ing good money. Monrovia, Mrs. A. T.
Miller, Polly Rose, Pacific, Mrs.
Coombes, White Coombes and Beatrice
May paid handsomely — and then the
panic struck us and it has been a case
ever since of taking what one could get.
Stock that other years could be easily
disposed of at $5 and $6 a dozen could
not be moved for half that, and to many
of us the midseason kinds show nothing
but a balance on the wrong side of the
ledger.

All signs fail in a dry time and also
in times of financial trouble, and to give
a selection of varieties that sold the best
when nothing at all sold would be sheer
absurdity. I believe that if the market
had continued as it began we would
have had the best year, or at least one
of the best years, for a long while, so
that supply and demand did not figure
this year. It was really the outside in-
fluence that affected the market, a con-
dition, perhaps, that may never occur
again. The quantity of stock in sight
was not in excess of former years and
the market in a normal condition would
have absorbed it all right, but this year
it was not a case of moving stock quick-
ly by lowering the price. There was no

market and stock simply did not sell at
all.

There is considerable stock in the
market at the present time (December
14), but the price it is selling at is not
very alluring. While late varieties may
pay well in some sections, there is but
little call with us after Thanksgiving.
The season is over and people turn once
more to the roses and carnations.

The kinds most in evidence just now
are Nagoya, Helen Frick, Maud Dean,
Nonin and Mrs. R. MacArthur.

The Single Varieties.

I was pleased to see the notes on the
single varieties in the Review December
12. They are the one bright spot in the
market this year. Grown as pot plants,
they sold well and brought good money.
Being more or less of a novelty, of
course, had some bearing on this, but
their light, graceful beauty has made
them welcome. Among the best people
their merits are recognized and the com-
ing year will see them grown by the
thousand to supply the demand.

There is one objection to the single
varieties as cut flowers. They do not
ship very well, owing to their flowers
getting jammed, but as pot plants or
for growing for a home trade, few
plants will turn in the profit that the
single varieties will when properly
handled. Chables H. Totty.

MUMS FOR EXHIBITION.

We have just had a successful chrysan-
themum show in northwestern Texas and
I want some advice as to varieties to
grow for next year's exhibition. Please
give the names of the best exhibition
chrysanthemums, including each of the

colors, and please designate those which
are medium early and which sorts are
very late. I like the incurved varieties
best, but what I want is the largest,
best formed ar^d brightest colors I can
get. R. S.

If R. S. will turn back to the Review
of December b', page 8, he will see a
list of forty varieties that I consider the
best kinds in cultivation today. They
are for exhibitions ranging from Octo-
ber 25 to November 16, which is when
the most of the shows are held.

An earlier selection would include
Mary Godfrey, Mrs. A. T. Miller and
L. H. Cochet, while late varieties that
are good are M. J. Rosette, Kathleen
Stoop, Mrs. Geo. Beech and Mrs. Swin-
burne. These are all of the incurv-
ing style and are useful for late flowers,
but the very largest and most satisfac-
.tory varieties for exhibition are the
forty varieties mentioned above. In
most cases the Japanese types give larger
flowers than the incurved.

MUMS FOR POT CULTURE.

Please give a list of the best varieties,
early, mid-season and late, in three or
four of the best colors, to grow in pots.

G. L. E.

A good selection for pot work would
include the following varieties:

White — Polly Rose, Beatrice May,
Moneymaker, Mrs. Clay Frick, Mrs. R.
Beckett, Mrs. .T. Tranter and Merza,

Yellow — Cheltoni, Mary Godfrey, Sou-
venir Scalarandis, A. T. Stevens and Oak

These are all splendid growers and can
be relied on, and would give a good
selection covering practically the entire
season. Polly Eose, or, as it is known
in some sections, Estelle, is grown more
than any other one variety, but one
would do well to remember that in most
seasons anything a little different from
what the other fellow has will bring in
more money. C. H. T.

REFLEXED CHADWICK.

This year I have been growing both
W. H. Chadwick and Golden Chadwick;
in fact, I grew both last year. In the
Golden Chadwick, my flowers were very
nice and incurved, while in the pink or
white Chadwick the petals were reflexed
and drooping and not incurved like
Golden Cnadwick. The flowers were
fine, but I was disappointed. I went to
the parties from whom I got the plants
and theirs were all incurved. They
could not give me any explanation what-
ever. I took the second crown bud after
September 1. Should I have taken the
first crown? I consider it a fine variety
to grow. I have written to several
growers about it, but they could not give
me any reason at all. The cuttings
were made in April. M. H B

I am unable to say why tne Chad-
wicks were reflexed and drooping, since
they came of incurved stock; they cer-
tainly should have kept true. A local
condition of soil or location should not
make any difference, since the Golden
Chadwick retained the incurved habit
1 pass up the question myself. One
thing IS sure; it was not the bud selec-
tion, because any bud after September
1 will come true and right and a bud
taken in August would not come at all

It is by no means unusual for indi-
vidual flowers to deviate from the type
but It 13 another story when all the
flowers are affected in a similar manner.

AMERICAN MUMS IN ENGLAND.

Now that there appears to be a re-
newal of interest in the chrysanthemum
on the other side of the Atlantic, says
C. Harmon Payne in the Gardeners'

Magazine, it will be interesting to know
whether there is any probability of an
influx of novelties from that quarter, as
there was twenty years ago. Most Amer-
ican growers appear to be of the opinion
that Australian varieties are far more
adapted for the American climate than
European ones, and several critical arti-
cles by specialists have already appeared
in the American gardening press on the
subject.

It is curious that in spite of the severe
competition both from France and the
antipodes, to say nothing of the efforts
of home raisers, there still remain
with us a few of the American seedlings
that once figured on our show-boards,
and also some of those introduced from
Japan via the States. They are pre-
served chiefly by growers whose require-
ments are largely decorative, and during
some visits recently I have noted a few
of these old-time Americans with no
little interest.

In the hairy section Louis Boehmer
and Hairy "Wonder are probably the only
two. There are several anemones, of
which Mrs. Judge Benedict and Dela-
ware appear to be the principal surviv-
ors. Of incurves, always a limited class
from any source other than English, I
have not met with a single instance of
American origin.

Among the Japanese, William Tricker,
a bright pink, seems to be much appre-
ciated for decorative groups. Colonel W.
B. Smith is also occasionally seen. Good
Gracious, still one of the most distinct
Japanese in cultivation, with its curious
whorl of florets, is well worthy of being
retained. Only once have I met with
the deep crimson G. W. Childs, but Sim-
plicity and Mutual Friend, both large
whites, are much more common. Modesto,
a rich deep golden-yellow, is another
survivor. Very valuable on account of
its earliness is Mrs. E. G. Hill, a tall-
growing pink, of great size. Of the
many others grown in the heyday of their
popularity not a trace has been seen.

A JOKE ON VANDERBILT.

"An amusing but nasty trick was
played in the early autumn at George W.
Vanderbilt's Biltmore estate near Ashe-
ville," said a Pittsburg florist. "A
friend of mine, one of the Biltmore gar-
deners, wrote and told me about it the
other day.

"It seems that, at the entrance to

Biltmore, there was a sign that read,
'Please do not pluck the flowers without
leave. '

"Well, one visitors' day, some joker
added an 's' to the sign's last word. As
a result, every visitor left Biltmore that
day with a delightful smile and an enor-
mous bouquet." — Philadelphia Bulletin,

IN THE RESIDENCE DISTRICT.

For twenty years Henry J. Puvogel
has been in the business at St. Paul.
Originally he was located at Summit
avenue, where he did a wholesale trade.
Six years ago the present place was built,
at Grand avenue and Chatsworth street,
as shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion. This is in one of the best resi-
dent districts of St. Paul, one of the
good business locations every city offers,
where expenses are not so great as in
the leading retail district downtown, but
where greater facilities can be main-
tained. Mr. Puvogel has 12,000 feet of
glass, which he devotes to carnations,
violets, chrysanthemums and a general
stock of pot plants. He does a large re-
tail trade and wholesales any part of
the stock not required at home, relying
on other growers for roses.

The outside florist has a great advan-
tage over the strictly^ retail store man,
not only in handling the big holiday
rushes, but when it comes to the spring
and autumn planting seasons. Mr. Puvo-
gel does an exceedingly large business
in bedding plants, etc., and maintains
his own place in such attractive shape
that it is a standing advertisement to all
who pass within sight.

Waukesha, Wis. — Schneck & Bliese
say that the new house, 42x152, which
they built last summer, is bringing good
returns. They are much pleased with the
results of fumigating with hydrocyanic
acid gas. This remedy, they say, is sure,
quick and cheap.

Dayton, O. — A great many resigna-
tions have taken effect recently at the
Cash Kegister Works and among others
that of John E, Freudenberger, head of
the horticultural department. It will be
remembered that Mr, Freudenberger was
given the thanks of the S. A, F. for his
work in the outside exhibition for the
Dayton convention. The Dayton people
think the N. C. R. is retrenching.

NAME OF PLANT.

The leaves are those of an acacia,
either A. armata or one with very similar
foliage. C. W.

A QUESTION ON GLAZING.

Do you know whether glass not bedded,
but with the putty run on top, has proved
satisfactory? E. C. B.

We putty all our houses in this way,
and six years of trial have given us
good satisfaction. If the glass does not
fit too tightly, so that a portion of the
putty can get between the glass and the
bar, it will, of course, stick on better.
This is well worth considering. We use
Twemlow's putty in preference to any
others we have tried. A. F. J, Baur.

D^SECTS ON FUCHSIAS.

I am much troubled with a white mite,
exactly like the black mite. I have
found it on fuchsias several times. I
would like to know of some way of get-
ting them off, other than by hand-pick-
ing. A. E. P.

I am not acquainted with any white
mite on fuchsias, but possibly the white
fly is the pest referred to. Syringing
freely with soap and water will keep it
in check, but the only way to extermi-
nate it is to fumigate with hydrocyanic
acid gas, directions for the use of which
have frequently been given in the col-
umns of the Eeview. The white fly is
partial to fuchsias, pelargoniums of the
show type, marguerites, calceolarias and

some other greenhouse plants. Fumiga-
tion with gas can be done with perfect
safety, especially during cool weather, if
directions frequently given in the Re-
view are followed. C. W.

INSECTS ON EUONYMUS.

Please tell the remedy for the insect
found on the enclosed leaves of Euony-
mus Japonica. The bushes are covered
with them. W. J. H.

The leaves enclosed were covered with
San Jose scale. This pest is a difficult
one to combat, but can be overcome if
fought persistently. There are several
remedies recommended for this scale.
The Ume and sulphur wash would make
your plants, which are evergreens, very
unsightly; Try spraying with Scalecide,
sold by many seedsmen and manufac-
tured by the Pratt Mfg. Co., New York.
I have found this remedy effective and
can confidently recommend its use. Full
directions on all cans. An article on San
Jose scale appeared in a recent number
of the Review, which ^may contain some
points of interest. C. W.

THE READERS' CORNER.

A File of the Review.

Here is one way of keeping the Re-
view for reference. Cut two covers of
heavy pasteboard. Take all the issues
for the month, place them between the
covers, punch three holes through them
all and tie loosely with cord. Cut out
the table of contents from each enclosed
copy and paste them in order on the
cover.

There is so much useful information
in the Review that no florist can afford
to lose even one copy.

F. D. Hartshorn.

One Possible Improvement.

I am extending my subscription to the
Review for two years, hoping to add
that many to my present seventy-two
years and enjoy your excellent periodical
as in the past. I can see only one way
by which, the paper could be improved,
and that would be by more persons ask-
ing questions. F. P. Avery.

THE DEATH ROLL.

James Dell.

James Dell; whose death occurred this
week, came to Pittsburg about twenty
years ago as a cut flower artist for John
R. & S. Murdoch, and worked for them
until that firm quit business, when he
took their store, but things not going
right he closed out the business and has
since been employed by the various
florists of that city. He has had the
management of H. L. Blind & Bros.'
south side store and had not been away
more than a week when his death oc-
curred.

Mr. Dell was qf a kind and genial dis-
position and was well liked by every one
who knew him. He leaves one son. The
remains will be taken to New York and
laid in the family lot in that city.

E. Al Lacy.

E. A. Lacy, of Rochester, N. Y., died
December 3, after a brief illness with
typhoid fever. He was 30 years of age
and the only support of his mother and
sister.

The Great Central Market

The wholesalers in the great central
market already are beginning to get
nervous. "We have had a week of ex-
ceedingly bad weather and it has had the
usual effect of cutting down supplies.
At the same time, the growers are hold-
ing back more or less and the result
has been a decided shortening of re-
ceipts. As a consequence, the market
feels more or less doubt as to the extent
of the holiday supplies. Where a week
ago it was considered that supplies in
nearly all lines would be adequate for
the Christmas demand, it now is seriously
questioned if there will not be a short-
age in most lines. The result has been
that the wholesalers, while anxious to
book orders, are not willing to do so at
anything but top figures, and in many
cases they are booking them, where the
customer will stand for it, on the basis
of, "If we have the stock, you get it,
and at the market price. ' '

As a natural result of the shortening
in supplies, prices have advanced all
along the line. Beauties and other roses
are up. The quality is fine, but the
receipts have been reduced in the same
proportion that the price has advanced.

Carnations, too, are under tJtte require-
ments of the market, and gjriees close
to Christmas quotations wer»-e asked by
Tuesday of this week. On cDother items,
there is not much change. Viiiolets, -while
not in such large supply as » last week,
still are abundant and not materially
advanced in price. The martrket is full
of Paper "Whites and longifljaorum lilies
have become abundant. Stevia and
mignonette are seen everywheaere and are
slow sale. The business donne in green
goods leaves nothing to be dessired.

While a large number of ' Christmas
orders now are on file, still i many good
buyers have not been heard from. It
appears they are waiting, unxidecided as
to how much stock they will i need. The
indications are that at the Islast minute
there will be a rush which wilLU beat any-
thing ever seen in this marttket. "With
existing weather conditions, siiiipplies will
be reduced throughout the I Mississippi
valley, and Chicago will bear - the brunt
of the demand. Four or firve days of
bright, mild weather would be worth
thousands of dollars to the tra^de.

Last week's market was laockadaisical.
The word is a favorite wi ith W- E.
Lynch, of Hunt's, and referesnceto the
dictionary shows that it is poarticularly
applicable to the condition last week.
Century says it means "setrmtimen tally
woebegone, languid, or listless. -"

Lest They Forget.

Borrowing a phrase from KipUng,
"Lest they forget, we say it yet," don't
overload this market December 24.

Practically every wholesaler agrees that
the holding back, which is inevitable,
will produce a stronger market Decem-
ber 20 and 21 than we shall have De-
cember 24, after the shipping is over.

Quite a number of shipments will go
out December 22, which is Sunday, but
the bulk of the shipping will be De-
cember 23. Let everything come in by
December 23 and let the wholesaler carry
it over, if in his judgment it seems wise.

Club Meeting.

There was an exceptionally good at-
tendance at the club meeting December
12, but one of the best liked and familiar
faces was missed, and immediately after
reading the minutes, President Bruns
asked W. N, Rudd to put in words the
sorrow which everyone felt at the death
of P. J. Hauswirth. A committee, con-
sisting of J. C. Vaughan, "W. N. Rudd,
and F. F. Benthey, was appointed to
draft resolutions.

The March meeting of the Rose So-
ciety was discussed, E. G. Hill, of Rich-
mond, who was present, outlining the
history and aims of the organization.

On motion of George Asmus, a commit-
tee of seven was authorized to raise a
guarantee fund, which the club headed
with $100, to engage a hall and to go
ahead with the promotion of the show,
the solicitation of exhibits and member-
ships. The president named August
Poehlmann, Leonard Kill, Philip Schupp,
George Asmus, P. F, Benthey, E. C.
Amling and J. C. Vaughan.

The club voted to offer a suitable
trophy in the premium list for the na-
tional flower show, November, 1908.

Applications for memberships were
received from Thomas McAllister, Oak
Park; A. P. Longren, Des Plaines; E.
Bolinger, Lake Forest; William Keimel,
Morton Grove. Resignations were ac-
cepted, with regret, from P. N. Hal-
brook, formerly of Mount Greenwood,
who is now located at Columbus, O., and
from H. Hasselbring, formerly of the
University of Chicago, who is now lo-
cated in Cuba.

F. F. Benthey, for the nominating
committee, presented a report which paid
compliment to the efficiency of the corps
of officers who served the club this year.
H. N. Bruns was named for re-election
as president but withdrew and nominated
Leonard Kill in his stead. The other
nominees are: Vice-president, George
Asmus; treasurer, E. P. Winterson; re-
cording secretary, Tim Waters; financial
secretary, J. E. Jensen; trustees, P. F.
Benthey, J. P. Klimmer, August Poehl-
mann, C. H. Fisk, H. N. Bruns.

E. G. Hill read a paper on roses,
which appears elsewhere in this issue,
and followed it with a brief discussion
of what he believes to be the theory
through the application of which we shall

derive our best mw roses of the future.
Paul M. Palez, of Little Rock, Ark.,
spoke of the Little Rock flower show
this fall, and asked for Chicago sup-
port in 1908. A. N. Pierson, of Crom-
well, Conn., was present during the early
part of the evening, but had escaped be-
fore the talking commenced.

The exhibits were numerous. Carna-
tion Defiance, the scarlet now being dis-
seminated by Jensen & Dekema and W.
N. Rudd, was in fine form. It has im-
proved greatly since the November flower
show. Afterglow, grown by the E. G.
Hill Co., also was better than when
seen here in November, The E. G. Hill
Co. staged a splendid vase of Princess
rose and another of Rhea Reid, the
flowers in each case being somewhat the
worse for wear. Mr. Hill said orders
for over 50,000 Rhea Reid have been
booked. Peter Reinberg showed Mrs.
Marshall Field, Sunrise and Uncle John,
and Poehlmann Bros. Co. brought Cardi-
nal and Mrs. Potter Palmer, the former
being specially good, the stems nearly
four feet long. The judges awarded
certificates on the following scores:
Cardinal, 87; Princess, 89; Rhea Reid,
88; Afterglow, 87. Defiance had been
previously certificated by the club. Mrs.
Palmer scored 83. Mrs. Field, Uncle
John and Sunrise were not scored, as
they previously had been exhibited be-
fore the club. The prizes offered by the
E. F. Winterson Co., to those who were
actual growers of the flowers exhibited,
were awarded as follows: First, to Joe
Hill, for Princess; second, to Fred Lem-
on, for Rhea Reid; third, to W. Keimel,
for Cardinal. The judges were W. N.
Rudd, Frank Benthey and J. P. Risch.

Various Notes.

W. L. Palinsky has been suffering for
a week with neuralgia in his face.

Friday the thirteenth proved a lucky
day for W, S. Scofiejd, on North State
street, for on that day he won, at a
church raffle, a muff and stole, valued
at $200.

In the midst of Saturday's blizzard,
Bassett & Washburn recived a telegram
from O, P. Bassett, announcing his safe
arrival at Pasadena and adding "Glori-
ous summer weather ! "

The first Proserpine tulips seen in the
market this season were received by E.
H. Hunt December 16. They hardly
could be called cut tulips, for the grow-
er had shipped them bulbs and all.

Vaughan & Sperry report that, after
hesitating about it for a fortnight, the
leading retailers have concluded that
lycopodium vine, a new article this sea-
son, is a good thing and that the best
stores are buying it in good quantity.

Bassett & Washburn have a large crop
of giganteum lilies, which are not sell-
ing any too fast just now.

Stollery Bros, report they placed their
first pans of tulips on sale Decem-
ber 15, and that they sold quickly. They
say business,^ while quiet, is fully up to
last year at this season.

For a fortnight it has been noted
that Max Ringier's smile has been even
broader than usual. When he could no
longer keep it to himself he announced
the arrival of the first son.

Kennicott Bros. Co. says the business
in green goods this season beats all
records with them. The double store
over their place being vacant, they put
in a car of wild smilax, another of holly

TO THE TRADE:

We want to call your attention to the fact that, while we look
for a more than fair supply in all lines, we like to have our or-
ders booked early so we can put aside orders as stock is received. This avoids a lot of handling and in
that way stock ships best.

been doing a brisk business.

N. J, Wietor says that orders thus
far booked make Sunday the big ship-
ping day for Wietor Bros., but that he
looks for a heavy run of late business
Monday.

C. W. McKellar says the orehid crop
is coming on just in the nick of time.

A. Dietsch has been in El Paso, Tex.,
for nearly four months, but is expected
home for a visit in January, after
which he will return to the southwest.

Peter Eeinberg has received about
70,000 Manetti stocks and the rose graft-
ers soon will get busy. Out of Mr. Rein-
berg's supply Adam Zender will have
enough to graft stock for a good share
of his replanting next season.

E. C. Amling says his growers assure
him of about 75,000 carnations and 150,-
000 violets for the three days before
Christmas.

The A. L. Randall Co, says that if
the Christmas business in cut flowers is
as good as the Christmas business in
supplies, no wholesaler or grower will

have any cause for complaint. The sup-
ply business has gone ahead of their
expectations.

White carnations have been scarce
this week, and the E. F. Winterson Co.
has found the buyers very ready to take
W. N. Rudd's white seedling at the
top of the market. His cut of Defiance
will come in for its share of attention
next week.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. says that
while Bride and Maid are off with them,
their crop of Killamey is just in season.

A. F, Longren is again able to be out
after having been laid up for three
weeks with blood poisoning.

August Poehlmann states that his firm
is so well pleased with the Cardinal rose
that the Poehlmann £ro8. Co. will plant
it heavily and make it a special feature
for 1908-09.

Leonard Kill spent a day last week as
the guest of his friend, Otto Schwill,
at Memphis.

Among the visitors in the last week
were: Miss Sherman, with the Hill
Floral Co., Streator; Mrs. William Ditt-

mann. New Castle, Ind.; William Hage-
mann, New York.

Zech & Mann say that, with anything
like a fair supply of stock, they will
considerably beat last year's Christmas
trade.

W. S. Perkins, who has been quite sick
with sciatica for the last seven weeks,
is slowly recovering and is able to sit

and bought a boiler of the Exeter Ma-

install in his place at Dorchester.

Fred Barlow has entered the employ

PITTSBURG.

The Market

The general condition of business last
week has shown some improvement, but
not all that is desired. In going the
rounds one finds the trade in a specula-
tive mood regarding the holidays. They
should be placing orders for flowers, but
are holding off, in doubt as to how touch
they should order. The experience of
some old-timers has been that during
other periods of business depression the
cut flower trade seemed to be benefited
at the expense of the jewelry and other
lines, as many seemed to consider that
they could send a box of flowers to a
person to whom they could send nothing
else unless of much greater value, so that
flowers were an economical investment.
The problem is, "Will this be true this
year?"

Vaiiotis Notes.

All the shops are looking very much
like Christmas. Mrs. E. A. Williams
has a grand collection of specimen
plants artistically arranged, and in her
window, not too conspicuous, a large
wreath of artificial poinsettias, which,
with the other decorations, is an attrac-
tion which holds crowds all day — even
the last few miserable days.

Bandolph & McClements are taking
advantage of their great show windows,
all arranged with handsome vases and
beautiful plants.

A. W. Smith has his big store filled
with everything that belongs to Christ-
mas and expects to make this the ban-
ner holiday season of his long business

career. (With that spirit you sell
goods. )

H. L. Blind & Bros, have a beautiful
show of poinsettias in pans, azaleas,
begonias and other fine plants that
would be hard to equal, much less sur-
pass.

Breitenstein & Flemm, who always
have unique things, this year have among
their decorations May lanterns, the same
as watchmen of old carried. These are
tied with red ribbon and evergreen and
attract a great deal of attention and
appeal most to readers of old German
Christmas lore.

The Zieger Co., not satisfied with a
beautiful new shop, has done everything
possible to improve it and make it more
attractive with fine stock.

The fact of the matter is, never have
the shops been made to look better than
this season and one going around cannot
conceive how people can look and not
buy.

The decorative fever has spread to at
least one wholesaler. The Pittsburg Cut
Flower Co. has decorated the big store
with wild smilax and artificial poinset-
tias.

Billy Lowe, the green goods man, came
to life and is stocked up as usual, the
only shortage being holly, which has been
scarce in this markdi up to the present.

Jos. Thomas, of Greensburg, has
moved into a large new store, which he
has made equal to the larger city stores.

Albert McCoyd has been confined to
his home by an attack of grip, but ex-
pects to be out this week.

Among those indisposed at thig writ-
ing are A. M. Murdoch and T. P. Lang-
hans. Here's hoping they will all be

able to hustle before the last of the
week. Hoo-Hoo.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

State of Trade.

Trade has been brisk of late and stock
about used up from day to day. Several
funerals of prominent people last week
used up loads of stock.

The outlook for Christmas supply is
not encouraging, as carnations seem to
be almost at a standstill. The cut is
just about one-third what it should be.
Roses will be in fair supply. There will
be plenty of Paper Whites, Bomans,
sweet peas and valley, which will help
out fbr cheaper stock. Smilax is fine
and likely will be enough to go around.
Plumosus is a scarce article in this mar-
ket, as little is grown here.

All the florists are hoping for a big
Christmas trade, but it looks as though
the high prices will be a drawback.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting Tuesday evening, December 10.
A card game was on the program, but
many memUers present were in favor of
bowling, so after the meeting they re-
tired to the alleys. The high scores
were made by McKellar, Reichert, Beuh-
ler, Currie and Blum. The high roll
was 196, by McKellar.

The Munk Floral Co. reports carna-
tions coming on slowly. This firm makes
a specialty of lettuce and it is in fine
condition.

Metzmaier reports business flourish-
ing. J. M.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

Business was only fair last week. As
the Christmas holidays are upon us, the
outlook is for more steady demand if
prices are not too high. Social work
among the uptown florists has not been
so brisk as usual at this time of the
year. Funeral work was quite heavy
last week and that helped out greatly,
as the wholesalers say white flowers
have been in good demand. There was
a good call for blooming plants with
the uptown florists. At the wholesale
houses stock is plentiful in all grades ex-
cept extra fancy. "How is stock going
to be for Christmas t" is the question
of the hour and the wholesalers have as

yet fixed no definite prices, although
they think there will be plenty of al-
most everything. They only hope that
the growers will send their stock in right
a^ng and not resort to pickling and ex-
pect fancy prices.

Eoses were not high last week. A
scarcity was noticed in fancy Beauties
only. Carnations jvere never of better
quality, with top price at $5 per hundred
for extra fancy. Eomans, Paper Whites,
lily of the valley and callas are plentiful
and selling at usual prices, with demand
fair.

Californian violets were down to 50
cents per hundred for the best. These
should be in great demand next week.
Some extra fine poinsettias were, seen
last week at $3 to $4 per dozen.

Smilax, galax, adiantum and asparagtis
are selling well, and there is plenty in
the market.

Club Meeting;.

The Florists' Club held its regular
monthly meeting Thursday afternoon,
December 12, and it was one of the
largest of the year, there being nearly
fifty present when President Young cali-
ed to order. There was a large rep-
resentation of students from the Mis-
souri Botanical (Sarden, who took a great
interest in the proceedings.

A. 8. Halstead, of Belleville, and
Charles Johann, of Collinsville, 111., wore
elected to membership. Resolutions on
the death of Philip J. Hauswirth, of
Chicago, were adopted.

C. C. Sanders introduced S. L. Bray,
who talked on starting a pottery, with
the co-operation of the members of the
club to form a stock company. On

motion. President Young appointed a
committee of five to take this matter up
with Mr. Bray and report at the next
meeting. The committee is as follows:
C. C. Sandere, Emil Schray, J. F. Am-
inann, A. J, Bentzen and E. W. Guy.

The trustees were instructed to report
at the next meeting regarding an enter-
tainment to be given early in February.
After this, George H. Pring, of the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden, entertained the
members with a stereopticon lecture on
'■'The Royal Gardens of Kew." This
young gentleman visited the gardens last
Slimmer and brought the slides back with
him. His lecture was listened to with
great interest and all were delighted
with the pictures as shown on the can-
vas.

Various Notes.

Walter Mott, after an absence of
several years, paid us a visit last week
in the interest of Arthur T. Boddington,
New York. Rodger Peterson, of Cin-
cinnati, also called on the trade last
week.

with the boiler-pit when building the fine
new packing shed. I was shown here a
sport from the Enchantress carnation
which is identical with Schroeder's Rose-
pink. Some bouses here are made to grow
three crops during the year. Beauty,
Chatenay and Wellesley are largely
grown. Out-of-town demand is steadily
increasing, both for cut flowers and pot
plants. A large shipping business is
being built up, which taxes the present
capacity to its limit. Violets are grown
in quantity, chiefly Princess of Wales,
which is preferred to Gov. Herrick, owing
to the latter 's lack of fragrance. The
fine batch of poinsettias sold for the
holidays proves this plant to be as popu-
lar here as ever. The store is an orna-
ment to the town and is conceded to have
done much toward educating the public
to appreciate high class goods. The
prices obtained would do credit to the
biggest city.

regarding their begonia, which was il-
lustrated and described in the Eeview.
It is a good thing, being very free in
habit of growth and flower. The color
of bloom is Enchantress pink. It is an
acquisition in flowering begonias to the
catalogue man looking for a sterling
novelty.

quite a little. The financial flurry did
not affect the craft to any extent and a
good holiday business is looked for.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

The business of last week in general
was not as active as had been hoped.
Prices are holding about the same, with
prospects of an advance. There prob-
ably will be no marked change until a
few days before Christmas. Beauties
are good, and promise to be in fine shape
for the holidays, but are not expected to
bring quite as fancy prices as in former

years. Some fine Richmond and Liberty
roses are received daily and sell at fairly
good prices. The demand for these in
the next few days will be heavy, and it is
supposed they will bring splendid prices.
Killamey is in fine condition and sells
well, prices being a trifle better. Some
really fine ones bring exceptionally good
figures. Brides and Maids were never
better at this time of year. The better
grades cl6an up nicely, while the shorts'
sell slowly.

Carnations have not come in heavily,
but the supply has been erratic, some
days heavy and others light, so that it
has been hai^ to fill all orders. The
growers say the plants are full of buds,
and they anticipate a nice cut when
they will be in demand, at the end of
this week. Poinsettias will be in good
demand and in fine shape. Some grow-
ers claim that those grown in pots are
much harder and will not wilt as soon
as those grown in benches or beds. Vio-
lets have been in fair demand and prom-
ise to be in fine shape. Gardenias are
excellent and are selling well.

The Finest Place in America.

Florists all over the country will be
interested in a visit paid this week to
Riverton, N. J., where the establishment
of Henry A. Dreer is situated. The
greenhouses never looked better than on
that afternoon, and a few notes gathered

in the two and three-quarter hours' stroll
through them may prove valuable. Only
the most important features are here
recorded. A house of specimen plants
of Adiantum Farleyense was in beauti-
ful condition, the 6-inch and 8-inch sizes
being both well grown, showing cultural
skill of no mean order. A whole range

of a dozen benches was devoted to
Cocos Weddelliana, a rare sight. The
plants were in 2-inch, 3-inch, 5-inch and
6-inch pots, most of them singly, some
made up. The larger sizes were superb,
something seldom seen in this country,
the plants being tall and graceful to a
degree. Kentia Forsteriana, in the
large, decorative sizes; filled many
houses, the plants being uniformly of a
rich, glossy green that bespoke perfect
health. Phoenix Boebelenii is making a
strong bid for popularity, the medium
sized plants being very pretty and yet
combining strength with beauty.

The cold house is an interesting sight.
Bay trees, tree-shaped or standard and
pyramidal, presented an imposing appear-
ance. There was boxwood, both standard
and ball-shaped, and also small stock for
window boxes. Aucuba Japonica, also
Laurus cerasus, were there, too. A bench
of Rex begonias, in great variety,
is beautifully colored. Among the ferns
for small ferneries Pteris Wilsoni stands
out prominently. A block of Ficus elas-
tica was well grown, of medium height
and very attractive. Pandanus Veitchii
was nicely colored. I could, as Mr, Bay-
ersdorfer often says, "write a whole
volume, would space permit," of this
most interesting placo^ where things are
done well and done in quantity.

Godfrey Aschmann's.

Godfrey Aschmann has established a
lucrative business in pot plants through
his thorough knowledge of the require-
ments of the buyer, through his ability
to cater to those requirements, and
through his fearless advertising. Mr.
Aschmann believes that the medium sizes

of plants are what the buyer requires,
and what pay best, and he produces
those medium sizes with the least pos-
sible expense consistent with satisfactory
quality. His place today fully demon-
strates these facts. His benches of
araucarias, in three varieties, are in fine
condition. His ferns show judgment in
picking the winners. He has pinned his
faith on Boston, Scottii and Whitmani
ferns, and has all three in quantity in
good, salable sizes. His Primula Sinen-
sis are well grown, of a large flowering
strain, while his Primula obconica make
a pleasing eflfeet in mass, the variety of
colors contrasting prettily. The showiest
bench on the place is filled with good
sized plants of Gloire de Lorraine be-
gonias, a sheet of pink. Mr. Aschmann
has a fine lot of azaleas, a few being
flowered for Christmas. The varieties
are Apollo, scarlet; Deutsche Perle,
white; Vervaneana, pink; Simon Mard-
ner, pink, and Mme. Petrick, rose-pink.
There were a nice lot of small ferns for
ferneries and many other things of in-
terest.

The Grab-Bag.

One of the most interesting features of
our horticultural gatherings today, and a
feature that is said to exist nowhere else
than in Philadelphia, is what may be
termed the grab-bag game, which is
played at the close of each meeting of
one of our local horticultural societies.
The theory of the grab-bag game is that
the society, having awarded money prizes
for every exhibit staged, is entitled to
that exhibit, provided it be cut flowers,
and these flowers are then and there dis-
tributed among the fair sex who have
stayed throughout the meeting. The prac-
tical side of the grab-bag game is start-
ling. "When the motion to adjourn has
been carried several members of the ex-
ecutive committee ^re seen whispering
with the exhibitors. This is merely a mat-
ter of form; they are saying, "You have
won umpteen dollars; may we give your
flowers to the ladies?" Of course, the
exhibitor, whose wife's eye is probably
upon him, says he will be charmed, and
the committeemen then gather around
the exhibition table. Here is where the
fun begins. The ladies, who have been
scattered about the hall talking to their

escorts, suddenly lose that gentle expres-
sion ; you hear the words, ' ' I want that, ' '
spoken in low tones, but with great earn-
estness, and the speaker springs forward.
Soon there is a crowd five or six deep
around the committeemen, who are dis-
tributing the spoils with exemplary fair-
ness. 'There was a regular attendant, in
particular, who invariably came with an
umbrella even on perfectly clear nights.
This umbrella had its purpose, for in it

NEWPORT, R. L

The annual meeting of the Newport
Horticultural Society was held in Mer-
cury hall December 10, with President
Butterton in the chair. This meeting
would have been largely attended, were
it not that a fierce storm of wind and
rain raged all the afternoon and early
evening. However, there was a fair at-
tendance.

At this meeting there was a large and
varied exhibit of carnations from H. A.
Jahn, New Bedford. The president ap-
pointed John T. AJlan, Andrew S. Meikle
and James J. Sullivan as a committee to
look the exhibit over. From this com-
mittee, later in the evening, came the re-
port that it recommended that the so-
ciety's silver medal be awarded to Mr.
Jahn for his seedling white carnation,
Lloyd. This recommendation was adopted.
The same grower was also awarded a cer-
tificate of merit for another white seed-
ling carnation.

The secretaries and the treasurer sub-
mitted their yearly reports. Those of
the financial secretary and treasurer
showed that the receipts during the year
were about $2,200, with expenditures al-
most the same amount. Two large shows
had been given, which, along with various
other large items of expenditure in con-
nection with these shows, made the cash
balance on hand at the end of the year
smaller than usual. There is a substan-
tial balance in the building fund and
dues unpaid to the amount of $600.

The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: President, John T. Allan; first
vice-president, Samuel Speers; second
vice-president, James Robertson; record-
ing secretary, David "Mcintosh ; financial
secretary, Daniel J. Coughlin; treasurer,
A. K. McMahon; sergeant-at-arms, W. I^
Smith; auditors, W. S. Sisson, Bruce
Butterton and B. M. Anthony; executive
committee, Andrew S. Meikle, James J.
Sullivan, Bruce Butterton, Alex Fraser,
Wm. G. Matson, E. Patterson, C. Oscar
Sehultz, B. M. Anthony and W. F. Smith,
along with the officers as members ex-
officio.

It was voted to give a ball sometime
early in January.

dition. The past year was one of the

best in its history. The attendance at
the exhibitions showed a marked increase
over that of the previous year, while the
interest of the public showed a decided
awakening to a realization of what the
society is accomplishing. The officers of

The Market.

While business was not specially
brisk last week, the usual shortening
up of supplies, prior to Christmas, is
now in evidence and prices are, if any-
thing, a little higher. The optimistic
feeling, which was lacking a month ago,
is now much more general and it looks
as though the business for the coming
holidays would be fully equal to last
year's. Plant trade, which has been
cutting more and more of a figure each
year, at the expense of cut flowers, again
promises to be heavy, there being a good
demand already for Lorraine begonias,
solanums, ardisias, •cyclamens, ericas,
poinsettias, azaleas and other seasonable
plants.

Chrysanthemums still arrive in small
lots and will do so until after Christ-
mas. These realize fair prices. Growers
who have early and late sorts will do
much better than those who have grown
midseason varieties. Roses are of fine
quality. Beauty, Killarney, Chatenay
and Wellesley, of exceptional excellence,
are seen. Carnations vary from $2 to
$5 per hundred; whites sell the slowest
and only the fancies reach the higher
figure. Violets are selling fairly well.
The arrivals are fewer, as a heavy pick-
ing is being held back. Only a few
Lilium Harrisii are coming in; some
speciosums are also seen. Callas are not
abundant.

Bulbous stock is plentiful, as is stevia.
Quite a little bouvardia is coming in,
also marguerites, mignonette and a few
poinsettias. The last named are not
usually sold much until Christmas week.
There is a better call for adiantum and
asparagus, while the dealers in Christ-
mas greenery are exceptionally busy.

Horticultural Society.

An invitation has been extended to
the Music Hall and Park Street flower
markets to hold their winter exhibition
in Horticultural hall. As artificial light
is necessary in both markets, a neutral
site, with such facilities and Ught as

Horticultural hall afifords, will be a de-
cided advantage.

Awards made by the garden commit-
tee of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society include first prize of $160 in
the Hunnewell triennial class to the
Plant estate, T. W. Head, gardener; a
silver medal to James Garthley, garden-
er to H. H. Rogers, for skillful cultiva-
tion of chrysanthemums, and first prize
for best peony garden to Dr. C. S.
Minot,

A school garden conference was held
at Horticultural hall December 15. In
spite of the heavy snow storm there was
a good attendance. E. V. Hallock, of
Queens, N. Y., was one of those who
made addresses.

The annual series of lectures and dis-
cussions are in the printers' hands and
will be ready in a few days, as will the
schedule of prizes for 1908.

Qub Meeting.

The closing meeting oi the year at-
tracted a large number of members to
Horticultural hall December 17, over 150
being present. Some time was occupied
in the discussion of an amendment to
the by-laws regarding the election of
officers. The plan has been to select a
nominating committee to bring in a list
to be voted upon. An amendment

After a number of members had ex-
pressed themselves the amendment was
put and declared carried. W. J. Stewart
read a paper entitled "The Innocents

teresting.

There were some seasonable exhibits
on the tables as usual. Several new
members were elected. Announcements
of the successful launching of the land-

WHOLESALE GROWERS AND SHIPPERS OF CUT FLOWERS

Chicago

51 Wabash Ave. Jentllilll,

Mention The Review wlien you write.

NEW YORK.

The Market

Saturday of last week developed tlie
worst storm of the year. Much damage
was done. Commencing with a Canadian
snow storm, it rapidly developed into
'sleet and later on a constant downpour
of rain that made the streets impassable,
gave the retail flower business too great
a burden to carry and added to the half
million who are already suffering from
the prevailing epidemic. About fifty per
cent of the florists, as usual, cannot make
the grip behave. So far there have been
no fatalities. The disease is of a mild
form and none have been on the shelf
over a week.

The new week opens clear and cooler,
with a fair outlook for seasonable
weather. In the meantime the plants-
men are shipping their stock day and
night to out-of-town customers and the
New York retailers already are making
their stores ready for Christmas. Every-
thing indicates a more cheerful ex-
pectation for the holidays, and while the
ordering of large and expensive plants
is much curtailed, the volume of busi-
ness, especially in the small and medium-
sized plants, will be greater than ever
before. Some of the growers say they
are already sold out. The new plant
market on Twenty-seventh street has
naturally given an impetus to this de-
partment.

The prophecy of last week, as to prob-
able Christmas prices, seems to meet
with general endorsement. Beauties may
do a little better than 50 cents; some
say 75 cents. At present 30 cents is
top and there are plenty of them. There
will be a gradual increase from now
until, the holidays, especially if the
weather grows colder and the confidence
of business men increases. Bride and
Maid are selling from 2 cents to 10
cents and carnations 2 cents to 5 cents.

The stock of chrysanthemums lessens
daily. There are a few arriving this
week and the remnants that hold over
for Christmas will meet with a ready
sale.

Violets hold at the quoted prices. Sel-
dom do they touch 75 cents and 50 cents
has been the almost universal figure.

One of the experts predicts $1 for the
holidays. Orchids and lilies are scarce
and adVaneing.

The call for holly, wild smilax and
wreathing is abnormally insistent. Great
forces of extra help continue the manu-
facture of roping night and day. The
green goods men have made their store
fronts attractive. Christmas trees are
here by the million. John Weir, in
Brooklyn, handles over 1,000 trees year-
ly, and every Brooklyn florist does his
share.

Varioos Notes,

The new officers of the New York
Florists' Club give general satisfaction.
They are 'all practical men, high in the
esteem of the members and competent
to lead the club to still greater achieve-
ments. With a membership of 250, it
is the general desire to have an annual
dinner that Avill gather the majority of
this host in a harmonious reunion that
will materialize a better attendance than
has been the average for many years.
This can easily be accomplished by pop-
ular prices and a judicious selection of
a banquet hall.

The Greek American Ketail Florists'
Association will have its first annual
ball January 31, 1908, at the Palm Gar-
den on Fifty-eighth street, the proceeds
to be devoted to the establishment of a
Greek school in New York.

The Horticultural Society of New
York held its regular monthly meeting
December 11 at the American Institute
rooms on West Forty-fourth street. The
lecture by Miss Ella Shinn Carter, of
Philadelphia, on a " Summer School Gar-
den, ' ' was very interesting and was illus-
trated by handsome stereopticon views,
but the audience may be considered a
fair demonstration of New York's in-
terest in horticultural development, there
being thirteen in attendance. It is to
be hoped the number may not seriously
antagonize the superstitious. I noted F.
R. Pierson and Patrick O'Mara among
those present, so after all the little lady
is to be congratulated. I think the New
York Florists' Club would give her a
larger reception.

The usual Christmas turkey raflle un-
der the management of Thos. .Jackson
will occur in the rooms of the Cut Flower

Exchange, in the Coogan buildiiig, De*.
cember 24. . . . V

W. E. Marshall & Co.,' at 146 West'
Twenty-third street, report a splendid
year. A. Watkins, for some .'years with
Win. Elliott & Sons and W. W. EaWs<?n
& Co., is how associated with this house.

Jeff. Doremus,, of Madison, was in the
city December 16. He is shipping some
fine -Beauties to A. J. Guttman, whose
name was omitted from the list of trus-
tees elected by the New York Florists'
Club in our last issue.

John A. Payne, of Jersey City, has
had a busy 'year and repoi^s the outlook
for 1908 optimistic;

Igoe,Bros., manufacturers'of the ex-
tension carnation support, report an ex-
ceptional year, their large new factory
now meeting every requirement.

Andrew Wilson, of Madison, was in

the city December 14. The seedsmen are

all cataloguing his plant oil a'nd the

florists' supply houses are also dispens-

•ing it.

Frank L. Moore, of Chatham, reports
that a great many are trying his Sunpy-
woods hose.

The Julius Roehrs Oo. was never bet-
ter prepared for Christmas. The ma-
jority of its customers prefer the visit
to the great plant of 100 greenhouses
to the selection from samples at the
plant market, and the days have been
busy ones for a month past, until al-
ready the majority of the blooming
plants are spoken for.

Anton Schultheis, of College Point,
has some especially handsome ericas,
poinsettias, ardisias, oranges, cyclamens
and azaleas this Christmas.

Schloss Bros, say business is too good.
Day and night work is too strenuous.

Wertheimer Bros, report a year far in
advance of any in their career.

B. Eosens, at 48 West Twenty-ninth
street, is having^ a wonderful Christmas
trade in all supply lines, especially
Christmas bells.

The Kervan Co. is handling great
quantities of wild smilax, holly and other
southern evergreens.

H. Kenney's facilities, in Brooklyn,
for the storage of moss of every kind
speak well for an immense shipping
trade.

Ambidextrous alliteration character-

it decisively, dextrously and delightfully.

Push the catalogue or you will be
behind the . procession.

A LARGE proportion of the seed stores
are just now devoting their attention to
Christmas greens.

Bean prices of last year will be all
right for this year's retail lists, accord-
ing to some of the catalogue men.

Visited Chicago: W. H. Grenell,
Saginaw, Mich. ; Wra. Kueker, of the
Fanners' Sefed Co., Faribault, Minn.

W. W. Barnabd Co., Chicago, reports
a greater rush for Christmas greens now
on than at any time in their maay years
of experience with this trade.

A. Watkins, for two years with Wm.
Elliott & Sons and for on^ year with W.
W. Bawson & Co., Boston, is now asso-
ciated with W. E. Marshall & Co., New
York,

H. G, Hasting & Co., with headquar-
ters at Interlacheli, Fla., have branches
at Atlanta, Ga., and San Antonio, Tex.
They expect their seed sales for 1908 will
approximate $250,000,

Evergreen sweet corn is not likely to-
go into the retail seed catalogues at more
than $1.75 per peck and $7 per bushel,
while the wholesalers will hardly be in
shape to put it at less in the trade lists.

In the case of the protest of the Wal-
lerstein Produce Co., Richmond, Va., the.
U. S. Board of General Appraisers has
reaffirmed its recent decision as to the
duty on cowpeas and sustained the im-
porter's contention.

A few cars of onion sets have been
shipped out of Chicago this week, and
the chance thereby given to overhaul
the piles of trays shows that the sets
are going to shrink heavily before the
bulk of the shipments are due to go out.

It is argued by some of the posted
dealers that the high prices placed upon
onion seed last fall by the California
growers gave other sections a chance to
break in and that California will feel
the effects of it for some time to come.

It is predicted by some of the parties
interested in the onion set business that
the acreage for 1908 will be cut down
greatly on account of the shortage of
onion seed. These predictions, however,
do not usually amount to much, as the
price asked for seed will eventually be
paid, each grower trusting that the other
fellow will be the one to cut his acreage.

The wholesale seedsmen report condi-
tions in first-class shape. The outlook
for spring trade is good, judging from
the inquiry for prices. Fall shipments
on the contract basis have been sent out
and the stocks shipped have given ex-
cellent satisfaction. There is not much
complaint on the percentage of cut on
the scarce items, the only criticism
worth mentioning on this point being on
the fearful cuts on the white varieties
of American grown onion seed. This
criticism can hardly be called legitimate,
however, as hints of conditions were
given out quite early in the season.

DUTY ON BROCCOLI SEED.

Broccoli seed is not duty free. The
Portland Seed Co. protested against the
assessment of duty by the collector of
customs at the port of Portland, Ore.,
objecting to the classification of broccoli
seed under paragraph 254, tariff act of
1897, as seeds not specially provided for,
contending that it was free of duty under
paragraph 656, as cauliflower seed. Un-

New Close-Clinging Hardy Climber

AMPELOPSIS LOWII

This beautiful novelty was obtained from seed raised from Ampelopsls Yeitchli.

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 sise the leaves are small, beautifully dentate, and the edges, being prettily crimped,
give a very pleasing etiect 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 coven
although the individual growths are so ' lacey" in appearance.

Hard plants for Autumn delivery, in pots $15.00 doz.

Toung plants for Spring delivery 7.50 doz.

of the seed inclosed in a small illustrated
envelope similar to the usual package in
which garden seed are commonly sent out
by dealers. The following printed de-
scription appears on the back of the en-
velope :

Broccoli. — • • • Taller and more hardy
than cauliflower, but otherwise very similar to
that delicious vegetable. Culture and use are
identical with that of cauliflower.

"It is very evident from the above de-
scription that these are not cauliflower
seed. As broccoli seed are not specially
provided for in the tariff act, we hold the
collector's assessment to be correct and
overrule the protest."

SEED SAMPLES.

At the request of the Secretary of
Agriculture the Treasury has directed
that until July 1, 1908, two-ounce sam-
ples of all importations of 100 pounds or
more of grass, clover and forage plant
seeds be prepared at the earliest practica-
ble date after entry and forwarded to the
Seed Laboratory, Department of Agri-
culture, labeled with names and addresses
of consignors and consignees, name of
seed and quantity of the consignment.
This is the same order that has been is-
sued annually for several years.

RESULTS OF SELECTION.

Notable Examples.

The result of selection is a most inter-
esting subject, of course observed and
studied most intensely in the human fam-
ily, really more in every family of the
entire animal kingdom than in the vege-
table kingdom, but even in the case of
table vegetables there is ample oppor-
tunity for most interesting observations.

For a lifetime a grower of esculent
vegetables for their seed, the writer has
taken great pleasure in studying the his-
tory of evolution of present-^y table
vegetables from their supposed original
or primitive condition, and their later
intermediate stages up to their present
degree of development. Take, for in-
stance, so common and homely a thing as
the cabbage. Consider how it has been
improved over its salt-water parent, as
the writer has observed it, still found
growing, but slowly disappearing, on the
rocks of the seashore from Norway south
to Spain and around the Spanish coast to
the Mediterranean side, a plant when
wild somewhat resembling a broad-leaved
seaweed. It has taken 2,000 years, how-
ever, to bring it up to its present condi-
tions and to change it to the many dis-
tinct forms of varying merit which it
presents, from the cow cabbage of
France, sometimes growing ten feet high
with stalks six inches in thickness, so
woody as to be utilized as fence material
and the making of cow pens, to the mar-
row-like savoy and toothsome cauliflower
of the present day, for all come from one
source. And why in the next few hun-
dred years should not the improvement be
indefinitely extended t Then what will be
the outcome?

Com.

Take the subject of maize, or corn, as
reported upon by the early settlers in
America as a grain then in everyday cul-
tivation; seeming to be of a fair degree
of development and fixity of, character.
But how it has improved since those early
days, and with what surprising variations
as to its productiveness!

Though we have no record whatever of
what was its productiveness 300 years

ago, there has been a constant progres-
sion, for in the last 200 years there is
recorded a continuous increase in its
productiveness. In this short period in
the lifetime of the world the yield has
been increased 100 per cent, and in nine
cases in ten because of natural variations
which have been seized upon by observant
men. Take, for example, an ear of
corn selected from a field where as much
as 130 or 140 bushels of shelled grain
have been produced to the acre, and put
this alongside an ear of pod corn, some-
times termed primitive corn. This pod
corn is supposed to be the original form
from which all others have been derived,
all the result of selection, covering per-
haps 2,000 years; and as it takes an
observant man, whether civilized or a

savage, to pick out and develop good
variations, it is evident that the earliest
as well as later aborigines were observers
of nature to a practical degree.

This primitive pod corn produces a
small ear, with grains around the cob in
even and uneven rows as in any other
corn, but each separate grain enclosed in
a small husk similar to a grain of rice.
Variations in the earliest pod corn and
subsequent variations for the better in
the selection of those variations through-
the centuries, eliminating entirely the
husk around each grain, brought the pod
corn to be fixed or nearly fixed before
America was settled, as the early settlers
in this country were very enthusiastic
over the maize in the possession of and
cultivated by the Indians.

The aborigines cultivated it on a large
scale. For example, the brother of Colum-
bus, on a voyage of discovery in 1496,
reported in his journal that when ashore
he had traveled through eighteen miles of
corn on the Isthmus of Panama.

Yet, with all this progress in early
times, still greater variations have been
made in the later days, particularly in
the last fifty or sixty years ; for instance,
there was the introduction of sugar corn,
a form which was not publicly known
before 1840. And what a great variety
there is in quality of both field and
sweet corn, from the gigantic grain of
the Chilian corn, with stalks twelve feet
high, to the small-grained shoepeg corn
or small pop corn! Or what a difference
there is between the many sorts of sugar
corn, in degrees of size, maturity, rooting
habits and contents of saccharine!

Melons.

What a source of regret that the thou-
sands of sports or variations in all fami-
lies of plants have not been seized upon
and perpetuated, as it cannot be doubted
that better things have been lost than
have ever been captured, lost because
overlooked by unobservant eyes!

Take the melons, either water or canta-
loupe; what variations they offer, and
will ever continue to offer! Livingstone,
the African explorer, reported having
seen whole districts, miles in extent,
literally covered with wild watermelons.
The practice of the natives, in the ripen-
ing season, was to break the melons with
clubs to discover those fruits which were
sweet. But the melon is not alone of
African origin, as it is on record as an
edible fruit from early days in many
parts of Asia. But neither Asiatics nor
Africans are to be given much credit for
its early improvement, they having left
that to the more intelligent peoples along
the shores of the Mediterranean sea. And
what an almost endless variety of melons
now exists! There are variations in every
form and quality, some from cross-
breeding, but in ninety cases in a hun-
dred the result of natural variation. And
these same reflections can be made as to
the whole list of garden vegetables, all
of which have been derived from wild,
uninviting forms, so far remote from the
present development as to be almost be-
yond belief as to derivation.

The Tomato.

A still more recent and recognized evo-
lution or improvement in form appears
in the tomato. Seed merchants cata-
logued up to 1840 only half a dozen
varieties of what at this present day
would be looked upon a.s almost worthless
forms. This evolution of the tomato is
the one subject which people of nearly
%11 ages can recall as occurring to some

veloped from obscurity to positions of
greatest importance. Among these a
notable example is that of the beet root,
which back as far as a little over 200
years ago was a crude and almost value-
less plant, possessing only two and a half
per cent of sugar. But now, by process
of selection and high breeding, the pro-
portion of sugar has been raised to
twenty pet cent, and frequently far more,
80 that the extraction of the sugar from
it is the greatest agricultural and milling
occupation in France and Germany, an
operation furnishing two-thirds of the
output of the world's annual production.

The Sweet Potato.

Now, why cannot a similar improve-
ment by selection bring the sweet potato
and yam to the front as a sugar pro-
ducer, in sections of the country where
the climatic conditions are not favorable
to the development of sugar in the beet?
And that implies the entire cotton belt
and much of the corn belt.

At present there are two deterrent fac-
tors: First, a slight difference in the
nature of the component parts of the
juice of the sweet potato compared with
the juice of the beet root; second, an
inherent disposition toward an early de-
cay of the tubers. But as it took 200
years to discover the best agricultural
and chemical processes connected with the
culture of the beet root and the treat-
ment of the beet juice, it would seem
that if the subject of sweet potato selec-
tion was pursued for a tenth of the
number of years given to the beet, at
least as much could be accomplished in
the field in changing the physical charac-
ter of the tuber so as to make it rich
in sugar and of a long-keeping habit,
and in the factory in the mechanical and
chemical treatment of the juice, as has
been accomplished in the improvement
of the beet root and the treatment of its
juice. Burnet Landreth.

amount of $5,000 for that purpose. The
receiver will, therefore, continue the
business without any of the difficulties
which have heretofore been experienced.
As an example of the good work being
done by the receiver, he has found that
the Youngstown storeroom was not all
needed for the purposes of the company,
and has accordingly sub-leased a small
portion of the space for more than
enough to pay the entire rental. This
arrangement will probably make this
lease worth $3,000 or $4,000 to the cred-
itors, when it becomes advisable to sell
it, as it has two years yet to run. In
other ways he has cut down expenses,
and the business should certainly show
a nice profit in the next few months.

Readers of the Review will undoubt-

through the combined efforts of the truck
growers in the vicinity of Norfolk, Va.,
and the State Board of Agriculture,
there has been established, just outside
of the city of Norfolk, in Princess Anne
county, an experiment station devoted
exclusively to the interests of truck
growing. This station has been placed
under the immediate charge of Prof.
T. C. Johnson, formerly of Cornell and
of the West Virginia University. The
station is located upon characteristic
trucking soil of tL: region and embraces

some fifty-eight acres, which will be im-
proved and devoted to the cultivation of
various truck crops, and the solution of
the many problems involved in the fer-
tilization, harvesting, marketing and im-
provement of such crops. The Southern
Produce Co. has set aside $7,500 for the
purpose of equipping the tract with suit-
able buildings for 'conducting the work.
The State Board of Agriculture devotes
$5,000 of its funds to the maintenance
of the work, and the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, and the
State Experiment Station at Blacks-
burg, Va., both cooperate with the above
named organizations in carrying on the
work.

While no experimental work has yet
been inaugurated, the ground is being
improved and prepared for the work of
actual experimentation. It is hoped
that, as the spring opens, areas will be
available for extensive fertilizer and
variety tests, as well as the beginning of
some systematic breeding work with
standard vegetables.

This is a notable undertaking in this
respect, that it is the first experiment
station to be organized in the United
States exclusively devoted to the inter-
ests of truck growing of any locality.

The organization is to be congratulated
in having secured the services of a care-
ful, conservative and well trained man in
the person of Professor Johnson, and all
possible success is hoped for the under-
taking. It is a new field of work and
will of course present innumerable
problems, a few only of which can be
taken up and solved at once. It will be
necessary to devote years of careful
study and research to this industry,
which has sprung up and grown to such
gigantic proportions in comparatively
few years, for it involves many problems
peculiar to itself, which have never been
touched upon by the regular experiment
station workers of the countrj'. It is
fortunate, therefore, that this station
has been established in a region so pre-
eminently devoted to trucking as is the
territory in the neighborhood of Norfolk
and Portsmouth, Va. L. C. Corbett.

ELECTRiaTY IN GREENHOUSES.

Have any readers had any experience
in the growing of mushrooms by elec-
tricity? If so, will they kindly give their
experience? L. F. M.

Lettuce, radishes and some other vege-
. table crops have been forwarded to some
extent by the use of electric light and
some of the large market growers, such
as W. W. Bawson, of Arlington, Mass.,
have experimented a good deal along
these lines. A good many experiments
have also been made at Cornell and other
agricultural colleges. I am unaware if
mushrooms have been included in the in-
vestigations. Any advantage to them
must come from applying an electric cur-
rent to the soil, as mushrooms are of
a whiter color when grown in the dark.
Mr. Bawson has found that some vege-
tables come to maturity earlier where
electricity has been applied to the soil
and there would seem to be no good rea-
son why a gentle, steady current in
mushroom beds would not bring the crop
along earlier.

It is possible experiments may have
been made along these lines and I trust
any other readers who may have knowl-
edge of such will send a few lines to
the Eeview on the subject. C.

WASHINGTON.

Wind, rain and slush have helped to
give some of the storemen the blues. We
are having the usual lull before the rush.
The stores are beginning to put on their
holiday attire and the market has already
done so. Stock is both good and plenti-
ful. Mums still hold on. Some good
Jones and Nonin are to be seen in the
windows. Some of the debutante decora-
tions cleaned up a good deal of the sur-
plus stock last week.

American Eose Co. for nearly twenty
years, has opened a stand for himself
formerly occupied by F. H. Kramer in
the Center market.

Alex Garden has added two more stalls
to his business.

"Wm. F. Gude and George Cook have
been to Philadelphia looking after
Christmas plants.

J. J. Harty & Co., the new wholesale
florists, are offering some fine cut poin-
settia. They received a fine lot of holly
by boat December 14, As indicating
the two facts that there is a need for a
wholesale house in Washington and that
many in the trade in this vicinity read
the Eeview, and the Eeview only, Mr.
Harty reports that the few lines in this
column announcing his start in business
brought several mail orders. O. O.

BUEFALO.

The Market.

The terrific snow storm which prevailed
all over the east, played havoc with
things in Buffalo. It arrived in Buf-
falo the same day as the Christmas num-
ber of the Eeview, Saturday, December
14. The car system was very poor and
business was brought to a standstill.

Cut flowers are very scarce, with only
a slight demand. Plants are more in de-
mand and will be untii after Christmas.
Chrysanthemums are still in the market,
but very scarce.

Various Notes.

W. A. Adams, our able supervisor, is
arousing President Neubeck to call a
meeting of the club directly after the
holidays for the purpose of taking up
the donation question. This will be a
good move and, if the affair pans out
all right, those who are benefited will
see that Mr. Adams succeeds Governor
Hughes, should he be nominated for
treasurer.

D. Newlands & Co. lost their able
foreman last week. He has been very
successful at this place and has given
up his position with the company to
take the Tonawanda greenhouses of Mr.
Pult.

Jacob Bailey, lately with the Wm. F.
Kasting Co., has ventured into the whole-
sale business in the old 'stand of the
Kasting business. Mr. Bailey has worked
in the business for a number of years,
both in the retail and wholesale depart-
ment. This store will be the third whole-
.sale establishment in Buffalo, although
Mr. Netch runs a retail store in connec-
tion with his other business.

We failed to report an accident which
occurred a week or two ago to one of
Mr. Christensen's men while driving to
the commission house. The man has a
drive of about five miles and, while on
his way in, a car struck the wagon and
the driver was thrown heavily to the
ground. The accident occurred quite
early, and it was some time before aid
reached him. Word was sent to Kast-
ing's, and it happened that Mr. Schoen-
hut was at the store with his Mercedes
car and they soon found Mr. Weigle,
the driver, and rushed him to the doc-
tor's. It was found that his injuries
were only slight.

TERRE HAUTE, I ND.

Carson Bros., of Paterson, N. J., have
opened a retail flower store on Con-
necticut street. The location is very
good, with plenty of business in other
lines, and so the men have a new locality
to work in.

Wm. Harrison, an old-time florist and
nurseryman, dropped dead last week. He
was managing a floral counter in the
arcade at the time of his death. The
cause of his death is unknown.

Wm. B, Scott has again demonstrated
his ability as a fancy pigeon raiser
by taking two first prizes at the poultry
show held last week. R. A. S.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

Ctirrent Comment.

Trade remains about the same as usual.
There is a good supply of flowers. Prices
remain the same: carnations 50 and 60
cents per dozen retail, roses $1.50 per
dozen. Violets do not seem to sell read-
ily as yet; $1 to $1.50 per hundred is the
general retail price. Some nice Paper
White narcissi are coming in. They sell
at 50 cents per dozen.

R. H. Woodhouse says he will have
some nice tulips for Christmas, also aza-
leas and primroses.

H. V. Sowle and Wm. Livesey are put-
ting batches of cuttings in the sand. Mr.
Sowle will root a large block of White
Lawson, this being a great favorite with
him.

Mums are about over for this season.
Both E. Y. Pierce and R. H. Woodhouse
had some grand blooms this year.

E. H. Chamberlain is receiving some
nice Winsor carnations.

Some of the department stores are dec-
orating on a large scale, using large
quantities of festooning. This does not
benefit the florists in a general way,
most of the greens being bought from
the farmers;

December 14 we had a big snow storm.
This will stop the gathering of bouquet
green in the woods for a while.

One of our florists is still advertising
carnations at 25 cents per dozen, violets
75 cents per hundred, callas $1.50 per
dozen, and this a week before Christmas.

H. A. Jahn has been awarded a silver
medal by the Newport Horticultural So-
ciety for his new white carnation, Lloyd.
Mr. Jahn received also a certificate of
merit for a white seedling, No. 2, and a
pink seedling was much admired and the
request made that the latter be exhibited
again. W. L.

Dayton, O. — At the last meeting of
the Florists' Club, resolutions were
adopted with reference to the death of
William Kiefaber, Sr. The resolutions
highly commended Mr. Kiefaber 's char-
acter and expressed deep sympathy with
his wife and family in their bereave-
ment.

• The Phoenix Nursery Co., Blooming-

$200,000 to $300,000.

The Scotch broom thrives fairly well
on Cape Cod, although occasionally in
severe winters it gets a set-back.

Most of the work of the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture of direct value to
nurserymen has been that done on behalf
of the fruit growers.

In spite of the millions of peach pits
now planted each year, many nurserymen
predict that buyers will find good stock
"hard to locate next spring.

C. Betscher, Canal Dover, O., says the
1907 peony season was the best yet and
he says that where hundreds now are
sold thousands will be planted a few
years hence.

Privet is greatly benefited by a coat
of manure placed over the roots. This
may not only be left there all winter,
but the greater portion of what remains
in spring may, with benefit to the plants,
be left undisturbed.

The man who has an acre or even less
planted in roses in rows not much more
than two feet apart, and who puts into
practice the advice that it is better to
pull soil up to the plants for winter pro-
tection than to strew manure or leaves
in among them, will, before he is far
ahead with the job, realize the puzzling
nature of the undertaking.

Norway spruce makes a good hedge
for all-the-year-round protection of stock
in nurseries from high winds. When
Norway spruce is used for such a pur-
pose it should not be pruned or headed
back until the trees have at least attained
the desired height, or they will never at-
tain it, but the trees will live and thrive
for an indefinite period in hedge form
and after the tops are removed.

WU.LOWS are easily grown and of
much use, but it is well to plant them
but sparingly in any location where trees
of finer appearance and of more lasting
usefulness will thrive. For planting
along the banks of streams, ponds or
lakes, willows are peculiarly well adapted.
They are also suitable for planting to
form screens for the purpose of hiding
objectionable features, such as low,
squatty buildings or fences.

PROPAGATING PRIVET.

Will you kindly tell us how to set
about propagating California privet in
the south? S.B.S.

There are two methods practiced in
propagating California privet, either of
which I should think would work satis-
factorily in the south, as well as else-
where.

When the wood of the season just past
has become ripe, it should be cut and
then tied up in bundles of 100 or more,
first making the cuttings' the same length,
say from six to eight inches. After that
is done and the required number pro-
cured, place them in some cool place in-

doors and cover them with soil or sand,
or bury them outdoors in soil. Leave
them until about the beginning of March.
Then prepare a piece of ground for the
reception of the cuttings. After this
has been done, stretch a line where the
first row is intended to be and' with a
spade make a trench from three and one-
half to four and one-half inches deep,
along the line. In the trench thus made
place the cuttings, resting thein hard
against the side, three or four inches
apart, or if they are intended to be trans-
planted in the fall or spring following
they will do still closer in the row. Fill
in the soil and firm it as the work of
putting in the cuttings proceeds. If the
soU is loose, the cuttings may be put in
by simply sticking them in the soil along
the line, but a trench is preferable. The
distance between the rows should depend
on how the soil is to be cultivated. If
by hand and hoe, fourteen inches will be
enough; if otherwise, allow space ac-
cordingly.

The other method of propagating
privet is that of taking the half ripened
wood of the same year's growth about
the middle of July and, after it has been
cut clean by a shears or knife and the
extreme tips cut off, insert them in any
kind of soU (that which contains a large
proportion of leaf -mold preferably) in a
somewhat shady place outdoors. Water
thoroughly as each batch is put in and
keep the leaves moistened frequently and
the soil moist until they have made roots.
For green wood cuttings shade is essen-
tial until the cuttings have calloused.
Early in September the newly rooted
plants should be transplanted into nurs-
ery rows, about five inches apart and
fifteen or eighteen inches between the
rows. The year following these plants
will make fine growth and be marketable
by fall. M.

WHITE PINE FROM SEED.

Will you please tell us how to start
white pine, as I wish to grow a large
number in Rhode Island? W. H.

White pine may be started from seeds
sown in a well prepared bed outdoors in
spring. The seed should be sown thinly
over the even surface of the bed and
covered, to a depth not exceeding a quar-
ter of an inch, with leaf -mold and sand.
It sometimes happens that the seed of
this pine refuses to germinate for nearly
a year after sowing, but a remedy for
that may be had in taking the precau-
tion of immersing the seed in warm
water for nearly a day before sowing.
If the seed is sown in a frame outdoors
in the early fall whenever it comes out
of the cone, immersion in hot water will
not be necessary.

Sowing in a frame is advised only be-
cause a proper condition of the soil as
regards moisture can be best maintained.
Neither the seed before germination, nor
the young seedlings, should be allowed
to become dry in the soil. Neither should
the bed they are in be allowed to become
soaked with water. This is especially
applicable to the seedlings at their ear-
liest stage of growth. The frame should
not be covered with glass sashes. A cov-
ering made of laths should be used in-
stead. M.

BERBERIS WILSONAE.

Berberis Wilsonae is a new species
from China. It is an elegant low-grow-
ing shrub two to four feet high, with

slender branches clothed with small
leaves disposed in clusters at regular in-
tervals along the growths. The upper
surface of the leaf is bright green; the
under side white. Subtending each clus-
ter of leaves is a spreading three-forked
spine, bright red in color when young.
The numerous berries which follow the
small yellow flowers are produced on
short stalks in clusters of from four to
six; they are BHght, coral-red where ex-
posed to the light, yellowistt on the op-
posite side, semi-translucent, surmounted
by the remains of the stigma, which ap-
pears as a slightly raised point. So far
as at present observed, says the Garden-
ers ' Chronicle, the fruit is immune from .
the attacks of birds, and, in consequence,
promises to remain on the plant for some
time after attaining ripeness and color.
In its native country the foliage is said
to assume brilliant autumn tints. From
its small size, spreading habit, and neat
appearance Berberis Wilsonae is a suit-
able subject for clothing banks or mar-
gins of shrubberies, or, planted in the
rock garden, its bright red berries would
form a welcome color in the autumn
months.

PEAR AND APPLE DISEASES.

"It was pointed out in my last re-
port," says James Wilson, Secretary of
Agriculture, "how important work had
been inaugurated on the Pacific coast
with a view to preventing the destruction
of the extensive pear orchards, valued at
many millions of dollars. Pear blight

has been and is devastating these
orchards, and the Department, in co-
operation \dth state authorities, has been
working to check it. The systematic
work undertaken in the matter of eradi-
cating blight from the orchards through
winter pruning has" led to beneficial re-
sults. The progressive ofchardists who
have carried on the work thoroughly
have succeeded in holding the disease in
check and in securing a profitable crop
of fruit from the treated orchards. In
other caseS; however, principally as the
result of careless treatment or no treat-
ment at all, many orchards have been
destroyed. The work wiU be continued
this coming season and every assistance
possible given to those orchardists de-
sirous of fighting the disease. As al-
ready indicated, the Department has had
the hearty cooperation of the state ex-
periment stations and other state author-
ities, who are fully alive to the impor-
tance and necessity of doing all within
their power to aid the fruit growers of
the respective states in which ttey are
located.

"Another line of work which has been
carried on successfully during the last
year has had for its object the control
of apple diseases in the Ozark Mountain
region.* This section of the country is
developing into a fine fruit region, and
the value of the orchards is increasing
yearly. Since the orchards have come
into bearing, however, various serious
diseases have appeared, and the vital
question of how best to control these
diseases has arisen. Some of the work
started last year in Nebraska and local-
ities in Missouri had to be discontinued
on account of the destruction of the fruit
by cold. In a considerable portion of the
Ozark region, however, there was a good
crop of fruit not injured by cold, and
in these orchards the control of bitter
rot, black rot, and the fruit blotch was
again practically complete where the
methods recommended by the Depart-
ment were carried out, from ninety-five
to ninety-eight per cent being saved in
the sprayed orchards. In all this work
combination treatments have been made
in order to prevent both diseases caused
by fungi and injuries produced by in-
sects. In this work the Bureau of Plant
Industry is cooperating with the Bureau
of Entomology."

ST. PAUL.

The Twin City Florists' and Garden-
ers' Club was organized in Minneapolis,
at the city park greenhouses, Thursday
night, December 13. A constitution and
by-laws were adopted and the following
officers elected: President, Theo. Wirth,
Minneapolis; vice-president, O. J. Olson,
St. Paul; secretary, S. D. Dysinger, St.
Paul ; treasurer, E. A. Latham, Minneap-
olis. Executive committee: E. Nagel and
T. Hall, of Minneapolis; E. P. Holm and
A. S. Swanson, of St. Paul.

There were thirty-four present, who
signed the charter roll, while a number
were unavoidably absent. The club will
meet monthly, alternately at Holm & Ol-
son's store, St. Paul, and the city green-
houses, Minneapolis. All intending char-
ter members should send in their names
at once to the secretary.

Expressions of sympathy are heard on
every hand over the untimely death of
P. J. Hauswirth. The Twin City florists
sent an elegant wreath of orchids, lilies
and roses to the funeral.

Trade is good and promises to be a
hummer for Christmas. X. Y. Z.

PORTLAND, ORE.

Btisiness Good.

A slight falling off in trade is percept-
ible, which we hope is only the calm pre-
ceding the storm, for we are looking for-
ward to the usual Christmas rush. Surely
the florists of this locality cannot com-
plain about the volume of business done
so far this season. Prices have held up
well, the sale of the large chrysanthe-
mums only showing a reduction in value.

Various Notes.

Some remarkable blooms of Eaton, Ap-
pleton, Chadwick and Jeanne Nonin are
seen at the store of Clarke Bros., and the
craft unanimously admit that this firm
is entitled to first honors in these. A
bench of the late varieties will be in
prime condition for the holidays.

A few hours off duty one afternoon
gave us an opportunity to visit some of
the greenhouses and it proved a delight-
ful diversion. At the Sibson establish-
ment we found the rose houses producing
a new . crop for the holidays, a^d with
more sunshine we shall expect to see some
grand stock cut here in the next few
weeks. One house of sweet peas just
coming into bloom will materially help
to swell the midwinter receipts.

Calling next on the Tonseth Co., we
were joined by Frank Rennison, of the
Portland Seed Co.; Albert Pierce, of the
Clarke Bros, force, and James Wait, of
Walla Walla, Wash. The last named gen-
tleman has successfully conducted a busi-
ness in Walla Walla for seven years and
this is his first visit to Portland. After
giving the necessary password we were
given the freedom of the place and cen-
tered our attention on a fine batch of
cyclamens, which will have reached per-
fection when wanted. A bench of poin-
settias and azaleas were also looking
promising. The roses are a little off
crop, but as large and fine a house of
carnations as we ever saw will offset that.

We next made a raid on Rahn & Her-
bert and there, too, received a most cor-
dial welcome. Miscellaneous stock is
grown for the wholesale trade and they
report a splendid sale for everything.
Several importations have just arrived
and every preparation is being made to
cater to the wants of the retailer.

Going over to Wm. Martin's place, we
hold up the foreman, George Spencer,
and requested him to show us around this
fine establishment. The usual line of
potted plants for the holiday trade is
much in evidence here and when dis-
played before the public should sell like
hot cakes. And we hope they will.

Mr. Martin's near neighbor, F. A. Van
Kirk, owns two good sized houses, one
planted with lettuce and the other with
Enchantress carnations. The lettuce
tasted all right, but the house of carna-

Stock of all kinds is plentiful and the
demand is apparently rather light. Eoses
and carnations, especially the latter, are
being brought into town in large quanti-
ties and they are not being used up as
well as the retailers could wish. The

than was received for the same quality
of stock one year ago.

Christmas goods, and if plenty of busi-

Various Notes.

Domoto Bros, have several houses en-
tirely devoted to the growing of poin-
settias this season, and their stock looks
remarkably healthy.

James Skinner, of Portland, Ore., has
just received four carloads of Christ-
mas trees from Oregon. Mr. Skinner
makes a specialty of these trees and
handles more of them than any one else
on the coast.

C. C. Morse & Co. are receiving large
consignments of stock from Europe at
present. It consists principally of
hardy conifers and young deciduous
stock.

Many sidewalk florists have made their
appearance in town with the return of
the hoUdays. They handle only the
cheapest classes of stock, but they as-
sist materially in keeping a lot of poor
goods moving.

Wm. J. Aiken has returned from a
two weeks' visit to Los Angeles and
San Diego. G.

BEST SELLERS ON THE COAST.

There is but little flowering stock to
be seen either among the growers or in
the stores for Christmas this year, with
the possible exception of poinsettias.
There was a time, a few years ago, when
there was a good demand for Chinese
primulas, Boman hyacinths and ciner-
arias. This has, to a great extent,
changed, so that the principal demand
is for something large and extra showy.
The poinsettia easily fills the bill and it
is being used almost exclusively when
it is permissible.

There has been some demand for
azaleas in bloom, but there are but few
of them to be found and these are ap-
parently very backward this season.

Mentloq The Review when yon write.

Pans of primulas, ferns and creeping
vines are very pretty and usually sold
very well formerly, but this season shows
but a, few of them in evidence. This
is true of all varieties of fern baskets
and dishes; the public seems to have
tired of them.

About the only bulbous stock shown
is cyclamen and valley in pans and pots.
The former is always a good seller,
provided the specimens are good, and
the latter is apparently the only small
flowered plant that is popular.

With ferns, the newer varieties of
nephrolepis in various sizes are the best
sellers. The older kinds are sold to a
certain extent, but not in the quanti-
ties seen in former years.

In palms, although there is always
some inquiry noticed for something dif-
ferent from the ever-present kentia, there
is apparently nothing that can take its
place for a showy, hardy, cheap orna-
ment, and the sales, although possibly
not as heavy as those of last year, are
still lively.

A few well grown plants of erica in
half a dozen varieties have attracted
some attention and have been well bought
up. They are rather a new thing for the
general public.

Several growers have produced very
small sized poinsettias in 4-inch and
5-inch pots, which are very suitable for
pans or dishes, and they have become
very popular with flower buyers.

WeU grown plants of Adiantum gracil-
limum and A. cuneatum sold well this
season. They are old standbys, but al-
ways in good demand at Christmas.

The garden committee of the Masiacbusettg Horticultural Society recently visited the

; The Market •

Trade has been fairly good, taken as
a whole, and compares favorably with
last year. The present week is likely to
be a little quiet, as is generally the case
just before Christmas, but it promises a
good trade for the holidays and may
break the record.

There have been no particularly large
supplies of stock, but a sufficient cut of
almost all kinds. Prices have been steady.

Long Beauties are coming in a little
more plentifully and promise to be in
fine shape for Christmas. While other
roses at the present time are not in the
heaviest crop, the quality is fine and
there is every reason to think there will
be a good supply of splendid stock for
the holidays. Eed will be scarce, al-
though one or two growers appear to
have good crops of Richmond and Lib-
erty. Killarney also looks good and will
be a favorite.

Carnations have not been so abundant,
but enough to supply all demands, with
prices firm, and some retailers have al-
ready sent out their Christmas price-lists
at $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. Chrysanthe-
mums are now down and out, with the
exception of a few late ones straggling
in. Violets are likely to be in good de-
mand, with no exceptionally heavy re-
ceipts, while the prices will be the same
as last year, and quality good.

Paper Whites and Bomans will be on
deck again and up to standard. Good
holly is to be had and apparently most
of it is well supplied with berries. The
rest of the green goods seem as plentiful
as in former seasons.

Plants were never better and there will
undoubtedly be a good demand at rea-
sonable prices. Poinsettias look fine, es-
pecially in pots, while Begonia Gloire de
Lorraine are good, but mostly in 5-inch
and 6-inch pots. Cyclamen are extra
fine J never before have they looked so
well and some specimens in 7-inch pots
are most excellent.

Some of the large stores are showing
these as well as primulas, celestial pep-
pers, Otaheite oranges in fruit, and ar-
disias. The azaleas also are of fine qual-
ity; in fact, the whole plant stock is
perhaps better than for some years.

the hardiest and most useful varieties for this purpose. Our stock will be found
$80.00 par 1000.

Surplus Bulb Stock

We offer what remaining bulbs we have at bargain prices. The only cheap thing about them is
the price. Tne bulbs are of first-class quality and in perfect condition. Bulbs planted in Decem-
ber, and even as late as January, can be bad in fine shape for Eafter; and as Easter is late this
spring (April 19), they can be planted later than u»ubI. If you have not all the bulbs jou want, this is tbe last oppcrtunity to get
them. We offer an exceptionally fine lot of Hyacinths, Tulips, and the choice varieties of Narcissi, at bargain prices. Band for our
■urplua list.

WAYSIDE NOTES.

Jacob Schulz, of Louisville, Ky., is-
busy making cuttings of his White En-
chantress, which he claims is the real
thing. His stock is looking grand and
will produce plenty of cuttings. He has
some big orders booked and can handle
more.

William Walker, of Louisville, has re-
modeled and added to his plant.

John G. Bettman & Son, New Albany,
Ind., are substituting cement, benches for
wood. The posts are 4x4, set on stone.
They figure that they will be repaired
quickly. This makes a neat and lasting
job, with no chance for vermin to locate,
and is away ahead of old lumber. Messrs.
Bettman are doing the work themselves
and will add more glass the coming
spring.

Anders Easmussen, of New Albaay,
says his new rose house gives entire satis-
faction. It is 50x250, twenty-two feet
to the ridge, and fitted with his patent
balance ventilator. This ventilator has
been exhibited and received favorably.

The Wm. Blackman Floral Co., of Ev-
ansville, Ind., was busy with funeral
work at the time of my visit. A casket
pall of white roses and violets was very
effective. The construction was very
simple. There was a background of green
cheesecloth, on which the smilax and
flowers were pinned. It was one of the
easiest and quickest pieces I ever saw
made. Mr. Blackman, Sr., is quite in-
firm, but retains a lively interest in the

Miss Nellie Goodge, the owner of the
Oakhill Greenhouses in Evansville, re-
ports a good plant business at the ceme-
tery. She does much decorating in town.

Julius Niednagel, of Evansville, is
ably assisted in the business by his two
sons. While he has no store, he disposes
of all the stock raised right at the houses.

Geo. Waldbart, of St. Louis, Mo., re-
ports a good sale for the berry globes
sent out by Mark Aitken, Springfield,
Mass. They are a new thing in this lo-
C£ilitv

A. E. Kunderd, of Kendallville, Ind.,
is a specialist in gladioli. The Indian-
apolis News of December 14 devoted con-
siderable space to a description of his
work and showed a large picture of a
seedling grown by him. W.

Thb trade could not do without it. —
r. W. MuRDOCK, Gardner, Mass.

Ballston, Va. — G. E. Anderson has
rented the greenhouses formerly owned
by Mr. Hess, and is now busy putting
in a new boiler, heating plant and water
tank. He will plant the houses with a
full assortment ' of spring and bedding
plants.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Decembeh 19, 1907.

GREENWICH, CONN.

The Greenwich Gardeners' Associa-
tion is at work laying plans for the
education of the children of this town
in the art of horticulture. As yet these
plans have not been thoroughly worked
out, but one method of stimulating in-
terest will be to present a plant to every
school child in town on th^^rst day of
May and let the child plant"nd care for
it to the best of his or her ability. In
the fall the association will hold a flower
show and give first, second and third
prizes in each grade to the children whose
plants have been best cared for. The
idea of introducing horticulture in one
way or another, into the schools, ema-
nated from the Society of American Flo-
rists. T. Y.

DONT 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 classified
advertisement in the Eeview, at a cost
of 10 cents a line. Everyone reads the
Review's clasjiified ads. Don't let the
little surplus go to waste.

The Eeview will send Smith's Mum
Manual for 40 cents.

I AM much taken with the Review;
I think it is a fine weekly for florists. —
M. F. Kblssy, Worcester, Mass.

I AM sold out of gladiolus bulbs. The
little advertisement in the Review was a
good investment. — Frank KiOTZ, Bowl-
ing Green, Ohio.

We have sold out of stock, thanks to
your classified advertisements. We have
nothing else to offer just now, but when
we have we surely shall advertise it in
the Review, because that means to get
rid of it. — France & Vandeqrift, Mon-
roe, Mich.

Dallas, Tex. — The park board has
accepted the plans of Architect Flanders
for the erection of another greenhouse,
40x75, adjoining the present house, in
City park. The cost of the building has
been estimated as close to $3,000, though
the contract has not yet been awarded.

Wellsville, O. — B. A. Mick, whose
greenhouses are near Glasgow, conducts
a retail store in town.. He was burned
out at his stand on the public square a
few weeks ago, but has secured a new
store on Main street near Sixth, which
he will conduct as the Wellsville Flower
Store.

Washington, N. J. — Alonzo J. Bryan,
proprietor of Bryan's Flower and
Truck Farm, although he has been lo-
cated here less than two years, has
about 6,000 square feet of glass and
is doing a good business in both the
flower and the vegetable lines. He.
not only has a home trade, but is
shipping nearly every day to various
points. Mr. Bryan is greatly improving
his place from time to time, and it is his
intention in the spring to erect three
more greenhouses, each 281^x100 feet,
connected with an engine-room and pot-
ting shed all along the north' side. He
will also install a steam heating plant.

TWO SEPARATE HOUSES.

Please state whether the following
would be the most efficient way to heat
two houses, 26x150 feet each: Two 4-
inch flows and fifteen 2-inch ' or ten 3-
inch returns in each house, each 4-inch
flow running along the side walls, with
two feet of fall, into four coils in each
house under the benches as returns. The
returns would have a fall of two feet
from one end of the house to the other.
Is it necessary to lead those four coils
of each house into two 4-inch returns
to the boiler, or will one 4-inch pipe do
it? What size of an expansion tank
should I have and how high! The houses
are separate and one end of each is
glass. They are located in New York
state, and I want a temperature of 60
degrees in zero weather. If you can sug-
gest any other hot water system that
would be better than the one I have de-
scribed, I shall be greatly obliged.

A. P.

Each house 26x150 can be heated to
60 degrees if one 4-inch or two 3 -inch
flows are used in connection with four-
teen 2-inch returns. My preference
would be to use two 3-inch flows, each
supplying seven 2-inch returns. The
flows would be placed overhead about
halfway between gutter and ridge and
would be graded so as to rise about eight
inches in the length of the house. The
highest point in the system would be the
one most distant from the boiler and at
the place where the branches for supply-
ing the return manifolds are taken off.
The main returns should in this case be
3-inch, so as not to throttle the flow. The
expansion tank should have a capacity
of seventy-five to 100 gallons and should
be located twenty-five or thirty feet
above the highest point in the system if
possible. This will give twelve to four-
teen pounds of pressure, which will en-
able you to heat the water to a much
higher temperature than is possible with
a lower tank. The connection from the
system to the expansion tank should be
made with the main return close to where
it enters the boiler; a 1-inch pipe should
be sufficient. L. C. C.

DAMAGE FROM PAINTED PIPES.

I am in trouble and I come to you as
the surest source of reliable assistance.
Last July the man in charge of my
houses painted the hot water pipes with
Haskell- Wise rubber paint, like the en-
closed sample. I noticed no ill effects
until we began to close up the houses and
had put on about 60 degrees of heat.
Now everything looks very bad. The be-
gonias are losing their leaves, the mums
were discolored, the callas are brown at
the edges, the smilax is dwarfed and
twisted, and in fact nothing looks a
healthy color. Is it on account of the
fumes from the pipes? If so, what can

While I know nothing of the materials
used in the paint in question, it is likely
that if it contains creosote or coal tar
products of any kind it is responsible for
the trouble in the houses. A little of
either of these is suflScient to prove detri-

The Market.

As is to be expected, flowers of all
kinds are getting scarce. There is no
question but that we can look forward
to a whole lot of pickling this year,
as the general market conditions would
bring out a shortage without the holi-
day demand and, in order to come any-
where near filling orders, some stock will
have to be held back. Judging by the
looks of some of the stock coming in
now, some growers have begun already.

At present time we are glad to say
that business is good, with the whole-
sale men at least. Flowers of all kinds
are cleaned out well every day and at
good prices, and those houses which han-
dle florists' supplies are quite rushed.
The demand for supplies is right up to
standard and it does not look as if the
retailers are holding back to any extent.
Should the present demand continue, this
Christmas will be a record breaker, in
spite of the financial disturbances. This
will only go to show that the public
must have flowers and florists' novelties,
even if the times are a little hard.

Several large funerals and a few good
decorations last week made a hole in the
surplus of roses, which looked for a
time as though they would grow into a
glut. Everything is selling out clean
now and the price of all kinds of flowers
is advancing. The fact that carnations
are going to be scarce for Christmas goes
without saying, and the price is going to
be as high as it has ever been in this
city. There will be a good supply of
roses, but not enough to fill all orders.
Poinsettias will be the only flower that
will be plentiful. The stock will also be

flowers, they will be good property.
There will be a good supply of violets

Holly continues to be scarce and good
stock is very hard to get. It is bring-

The weather conditions last week were
unfavorable, both for the grower and the
retailer. The cut of both carnations
and roses is light. The crop of custom-
ers ditto. It takes the sunshine to bring
both flowers and people out. If the
weather conditions improve and old Sol
asserts himself this week, the supply
for Christmas will be good. Money mat-
ters are easier, and with a better feeling
all around, it is hoped that the Christ-
mas demand will be as good as in the
past.

DETROIT. . -

The Market*

One more issue of the Review and
Christmas will be a thing of the past
for another year. Present indications
all point to a fair Christmas business.
It lies to a large extent with the mer-
chants themselves whether they get what
business there is or not. Those who put
on all the extra war paint they can will
get the orders, while the fellow" who
goes along with the idea that there
simply will be nothing doing is not likely
to be disappointed. A great deal will
also depend on the growers. If the
price of cut flowers is reasonable, all
well and good, but if some of the pres-
ent quotations really go into effect many
people will buy candy instead of flowers.

All of the good stock remains well
cleaned up from day to day. There has
been no noticeable change in prices since
the last report.

Holly and ground pine are in good
supply; the former sells for from $4
to $4.50 per case.

Various Notes.

Hubert Pierce, of the Detroit Cut
Flower Supply House, has just returned
from a trip through Michigan. In his
opinion there will be a good supply of
carnations in this section for the holi-
days.

J. F. Sullivan disposed of a large
number of Iferns last week by filling the
window with them and displaying a card
bearing the words, "Special Sale of
Ferns." The price was not reduced on
the better grade of plants.

B. Schroeter, Jr., who is attending the
University of Michigan, is at home for
the holidays. He will help out at the
greenhouses during the rush.

The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange
has had exceptionally good luck with its
cold storage ferns. The first lot was
taken out last week and there were
twenty-six good ferns in each bunch.

Nothing has as yet come of the suit
against George Leadly by Mrs. Allen
P. Cox. The case was again postponed
last week.

Schroeter had the decorations at the
Hotel Ponchartrain for the New Eng-
land Society. Green and red were the
colors.

Philip Breitmeyer made bis annual
Christmas trip to New York, taking his
son Harry along. Harry Breitmeyer is
already one of the regulars in the store.

FUNERAL WORK.

"W^reaths.

Next to sprays of flowers there are,
in my estimation, more wreatiis made up
for funeral work tiian any other design.
Of course, this is not the case at every
funeral. Among the poorer and even the
middle class of people the harp, anchor,
etc., are still popular, and it is hoped
will always remain so. It is mostly the
well-to-do people who prefer wreaths or
large, fine sprays.

Of all the chances the floral artist has
to show his skill, I believe the wreath
gives him the most opportunity.

Many Styles.

There is really no end to the number of
ways of making up wreaths. Probably
you have noticed the flowers at some ex-
pensive funeral, where we often see
from fifteen to twenty wreaths, and each
one has its own individuality. This, I
presume, is one of the reasons why the
wreath is so popular. It gives each per-
son a chance to carry out his own taste.

The Preliminaries.

Before going into details in regard
to the making of wreaths, I want to say
a few words about the preliminaries.

Of course, the first step is to procure
the frame. We will take it for granted
that ours is going to be a 20-inch wreath,
meaning twenty inches across the frame,
outside measurement. As already stated
in former articles, there are several ways
of keeping the moss in the frame. The
most frequent way is to use common tin-
foil. This does well enough for ordi-
nary work,, but if you are making up a
more elaborate piece, then I should pre-
fer to use either green foil, black paper
or, best and cheapest of all, the green
wax paper we use for lining up boxes.

Place the paper over the back of the
frame and bend it. over the sides. Then
put enough nicely torn up moss into
the frame so that when tied into place
it will, be packed just closely enoifgh to
hold a toothpick or fern pin.

Have the.moss about even with the top
of the frame for all ordinary work.
About the handiest way to tie the moss
in is to hold the ball of string in the
right hand and wind it about an inch
and a half apart from the outside over
the top to the Inside of the wreath. Press
the moss into place with the left hand
as you go along. Then trim off the stray
pieces with a pair of shears.

Most Simple Wreath.

The most simple wreath, and still
pretty when well made, is one made up
along the lines of a set piece. That is,
ytou first cover your moss with common
fern leaves, and make an edging of
either smilax or galax leaves. When
osing the latter, stem them t6 toothpicks
•oite short and stick them^'tround the
-j^atside and inside of the frame quite
evenly, and all facing up. Then make a

background of white flowers; run them
around both edges first and then fill in
the center. A few lilies, placed around
in the wreath about every ^ght or ten
inches, add much* to the effect of the
finished design. First make a hole in
the moss, where the lily is to be placed,
cut the lily off short and stick it into
the hole. Trim the wreath with an as-
sortment of flowers, such as roses, car-

necessary to have the moss a little deep-
er than for the foregoing wreath, so as
to hold the flowers well in place. We
will now suppose that you wish to make
a loose wreath of all roses. For about
an 18-inch wreath you will require about
seven to eight dozen roses. Stem them
to toothpicks, fastening one or more
leaves in with each flower. The more
open ones should be stemmed shorter
than the buds, which should have about
4-inch to 5-inch stems. The more uneven-
ly they are stemmed as to length, the
better will be the effect of the finished
wreath. Of course, you will have to use
your own judgment to a large extent as
to how closely to place the roses. They
should not be so tight as to have the
effect of being crowded; still, there must
be enough. Some Asparagus plumosas
or maidenhair fern stuck in between the
roses will add much to the finished ap-

either in all white or in pink and white,
as the occasion may demand. It is not
necessary to pack tho piece full of flow-
ers; just arrange them loosely.

Loose Wreaths of AH Flowers.

The more artistic wrelth of all flow-
ers is made up loosely of «>n(> or more
kinds. For a loose wreath it will be

pearance. Wreaths of carnations, asters,
etc., can, of course, be made up in much
the same way. Asparagus Sprengeri goes
well with either of the latter flowers.
Then, again, you can use some smaller
flower in connection with the large one;
as, for instance, roses and vaSey, or
carnations and swe«>t peas. If it be de-

bunch and of different lengths, to avoid
a machine-made effect.

A wreath of all violets is also very
pretty. Stem about ten or twelve of
them at a time to a toothpick, using
some of their own foliage as green. A
wreath of valley or violets should not be
made up too long before use. H. S.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

Tabk Decorations.
The accompanying illustration shows a
dinner-table decoration arranged in the
conventional style by Charles Henry Fox,

of the Sign of the Rose, Philadelphia.
The plateau, or centerpiece, is made of
dahlias with corner-pieces to match, of
a single color. The arrangement is car-
ried_.^t for a luncheon or dinner at
which the guests are seated, the idea
being not to interfere with the view.

^ SUGGESTIONS

J

Rambler Roses. *

Rambler roses with well ripened canes,
more especially such as have been pot-
grown all summer, may be had in bloom
from the middle to the end of March by
starting now. Repotting is neither neces-
sary nor desirable at this season, but a
quantity of the surface soil should be
removed with a pointed stick and a sur-
facing of fibrous loam and bone meal
applied. If the latter has been mixed
in a pile for some time it will be all the
better for it. For this early forcing
Crimson Rambler is to be preferred to
the pink varieties, such as Lady Gay and
Dorothy Perkins, which latter are all
right after January 1. The canes should
have any weak or dead wood removed;
any thin shoots are better cut away en-
tirely. In orifer to make them break
evenly, twist them around three or four
stakes stood uprightly around the sides
of the pots. A night temperature of 45
degrees is ample at the start, raising it
to 50 degrees as the plants break, and a
few degrees higher later^ lowering it
again as the flowers start to open, but
not too suddenly. Syringe the canes
twice a day. Discontinue this after the
shoots are started, or mildew may be en-
couraged.

Double Feverfew.

This easily grown but Very useful
plant should now be planted where any
vacant bench room is at disposal. While
a common flower and with the reverse
of a pleasing odor, double white fever-
fews prove very useful in the spring and
are especially valuable at Memorial day,
at which time quantities of white flow-
ers at moderate cost are in keen demand.
No special culture is needed for double
feverfews. Soil which has been used
for chrysanthemums will answer very
well for them if given a dressing of rot-
ten manure. A cool house, 45 degrees
at night, is better than one 10 degrees
higher.

Marsfuerites.

Old plants grown in pots during the
summer will have given a fine crop of
Christmas flowers. With the passing of
the chrysanthemums, there will be a bet-
ter call for the smaller but more grace-
ful marguerites. Plants from which a
supply of Easter and Memorial day flow-
ers are expected should not be neglected.

Do not allow them to become potbound
before giving them a shift, and spread
them out so that they can have room to
grow. If you want them in flower early,
discontinue pinching. The tops can be
removed once more from those being kept
for Easter. Marguerites are gross feed-
ers and heavy drinkers. They resent any-
thing in the nature of forcing and should
always be grown cool; 50 degrees at
night is ample.

Dendrobiums.

That useful and ever popular orchid,
Dendrobium nobile, will now be com-
mencing to push its flower nodes. The
plants ought now to be resting in a mod-
erately cool and dry house; 45 to 50 de-
grees at night is sufficiently warm. Only
enough water to prevent shriveling of
the pseudo bulbs should be given. A

little careless watering will cause many
of the nodes to produce growths in lieu
of flowers. A syringing overhead twice
a week on bright days should provide all
water necessary. Let the plants have the
fullest sunlight. Never mind if the
foliage and bulbs take on a yellowish
hue; they will flower all the more satis-
factorily. As the nodes iJecome a fourth
of an inch long the plants may be taken
to a warmer house, using judgment in
watering until the flower buds can be
seen, when a more generoys supply can
be afforded them. Dendrobium Wardi-
anum requires very similar treatment to
that recommended for D. nobile.

Codogync G4stata.

In February and March no florists' or-
chid is as valuable as Coelogyne cristata.
It flowers over quite a long season, and
being a good grower, it succeeds with
ordinary care. It never should have a
high temperature, even when growing. At
present a house kept at 55 degrees at
night will be high enough. The flower
spikes can now be easily seen and counted
at the base of the newly-made bulbs. It
is the height of folly to force coelogynes
at all. It does not advance them at all,
but leaves the plants weakened and the
flowers are more puny and wretched look-
ing. Keep the plants all on the dry side
now. Never mind if the bulbs shrivel
a little; they will plump up again when
watered more freely.

Gittleya Trianae.

This is the standard winter cattleya,
being indispensable from December 1
until April 1. If the plants have been
grown together with a miscellaneous
batch and have been kept well watered
and shaded, they are probably deep green
in color and, grown under these condi-
tions, many of the flowering bulbs will
produce one and two blooms only. Had
they been subjected to more sunshine, the
plants would have bloomed very much

better. While in bloom they can be
placed in a house kept at 50 degrees at
night if required. Keep the plants on
the dry side and do not play the hose on
them unless absolutely necessary. All
cattleyas prefer a cooler and drier at-
mosphere when flowering, while in the
growing season thoy will relish abundant
water supplies.

Cypripedium Leeanum.

As a successional variety to C. insigne,
nothing is better than C. Leeanum. The
plant is a splendid grower. The flowers
are produced with great freedom, and
while the stems are less rigid than in the
case of C. insigne and ('. viilosum, they
stand up nicely. The dorsal sepals of
the better forms of C. Leeanum are
broad and bold, the colorings being very
attractive. A temperature of 60 degrees
at night will proiluce good C. Leeanums.
The individual blooms will last thre^
months, or just as well as in the case of
C. insigne. As a commercial variety, this
is one of the very finest cypripediums
known,

Adiantums.

As you cut down your maidenhair ferns
from time to time, remember that they
like a little rest before being started into
active growth again. We are referring
more especially now to A. cuneatum,
more grown probably than all other sorts
combined, commercially at any rate. A
repotting may be necessary in some
rases; in otliers a top dressing may suf-
fice for a season, if the plants are af-
forded occasional liquid stimulants.

Brief Reminders.

Save i. few berries of sohuuims for
seed before disposing of all your plants.

A large proportion of your Lorraine
begonias will now be sold. Keep a sutfi-
cient number for stock purposes and do
not let these be mere odds and ends.

Do you remember the weekly fumiga-
tion? Don't wait until you see plants
alive with aphis. Prevention is better
than cure.

Give your chrysanthemum stock plants
a light bench in a cool house. Keep the
soil scratched among them.

Spanish iris, sweet scented jonquils.

La Reine tulips and Golden Spur narcissi
may. all be started at once. Grow the
first two varieties cool.

The present is a good time to propa-
gate crotons and dracsenas by ringing the
shoots.. Be sure to keep the moss moist.
Ficus elastica roots readily in the' same
way.

Keep early schizanthus staked and se-
curely tied.

Throw away any sickly or weak lilies
as they show the'r character. Drop a
Uttle tobacco dust on the tops of any
plants first showing flower buds, which
aphis will otherwise infest.

Don't forget to save a batch of po'.u-
settia plants for stock for 1908.

STRAY NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

State of Trade.

There is still an abumlaut supply of
chrysanthemums at (Movent (ilarden mar-
ket, but prices show an improvement.
First quality carnations realize good
prices, but common grades are cleared
cheap. Roses are bringing better money,
some good Richmond bringing tlie high-
est figures. English, French and Parnux
violets are of good quality. Orchids
are in good supply. Eucharis, gardenias,
pancratinms and other choice flowers are
selling better. In pot plants Gloire de
Lorraine begonias, poinsettias, sp ra>as,
zonal pelargoniums, ericas, cyclamens,
azaleas and bouvardias are abundant and
of excellent quality. Trade in both
plants and flowers shows an improve-
ment.

Adiantum elegans is to a considerable
extent displacing the old A. cuneatum at
Covent Garden. Points in favor of the
new-comer are larger fronds, longer
stems, a more delicate color and fine
keeping qualities.

Winter Flowering Guiiation Society.

The third exhibition of the recently
organized British Winter Flowering Car-
nation Society was held in the conserva-
tories of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Re-
gents Park, December 11. Points are
awarded as follows : Color 5 points, size
5, fragrance 5, substance 5, calyx 5, gen-
eral appearance 5, length and substance

of stem 5, habit of plant 5; total pos-
sible points 40. Certificates of merit of
the first class are awarded only to varie-
ties scoring at least 30 points, and
awards of merit to those scoring 25 or
more points.

The membership of the society grows
steadily and the larger number of com-
petitive classes early assured the commit-
tee of the finest jBxhibition of the divilie
flower yet seen in London.

National Chrysanthemum Society.

The annual banquet and meeting of
the National Chrysanthemum Society of
England was held at the Holborn res-
taurant, London, November 26, when
Charles E. Shea presided over a goodly
company. The annual report showed that
seventy-seven new members had joined
the society and that seven additional so-
cieties had become affiliated. The total
membership was 430 and the number of
affiliated societies 109. The reserve funH
exceeded £100. During the present sea-
son 194 novelties had been set up for
certificates, of which twenty-five re-
ceived some form of award. The entries
at the annual national show at the Crys-
tal palace were one-third greater than
in 1906.

Several new chrysanthemums received
certificates at the hands of the National
Chrysanthemum Society November 19.
Among them were: Gretchen, a pure
white, single, narrow petaled variety from
Wells & Co.; the same exhibitors had M.
Ellis, a bright yellow decorative variety,
reflexed, promising as a market variety;
Norman .Davis had Mrs. .1. Hygate, an
immense true incurved white; ~R. Searle
received a certificate for "Marquis of
Northampton, a fine bronzy yellow sport
from W. R. Etherington.

The National Chrysanthemum Society
held its winter exhibition December 4
and a market show December 11, at Co-
vent Garden Market.

Royal Horticultural Society.

At the exhibition of the Royal Horti-
cultural Society, November 26, Norman
Davis secured an award of merit for a
laYge mauve pink Japanese chrysahthe-
numi named Edith Jameson. James
A'eitch & Sons had a beautiful group of

their winter blooming begonias, which
presented a brilliant appearance. Some
of the best kinds were Agatha, Soco-
trana, Winter Perfection, Julius and En-
sign, the last two being specially note-
worthy. J. Hill & Co. had a splendid
group of ferns, in which they are spe-
cialists. H. B. May had a striking group
of platyceriums, polypodiums, davallias
and other ferns, mostly growing on bark
and pieces of wood, with a groundwork
of small adiantums and pterises.

Cutbush & Son had a telling display
of oranges in fruit, Skimmia Japonica,
pernettyas and other berry-bearing
plants. H. J. Jones, Philip Ladds and
W. Wells & Co. were the leading ex-
hibitors of chrysanthemums, the last
named having a grand collection of sin-
gles, some of the best being Irene Cragg,
Kitty Bourne, Purity, Gretchen, Lady
Windsor and Doreen. Cannell & Son had
a great collection of zonal pelargoniums
and there were many other attractive ex-
hibits, including a table of pyramidal
Lorraine begonias from J. Vert, a yard
in height and as much in diameter.

A Vexed Question.

' ' Boards versus vases ' ' has ^been a
vexed question this year at the many
chrysanthemum shows here. Some so-
cieties have entirely abolished boards,
practically all are now using vases to
some extent and the doom of the board
system is heralded by some. Many grow-
ers and a large percentage of visitors do
not approve of the abolition of boards, as
one result would be a somewhat dimin-
ished interest in the exhibition. Unless
some board classes are retained, many
exhibitors will drop out of the running.
Exhibitors here must furnish their vases,
which is quite a serious expense item.

DRACAENA ROTHIANA.

The dracsena shown in the accompaiiy-
ing illustration is Rothiana, a species
long known to science and for many
years seen in collections in botanical gar-
dens in all parts of the world, but it is
only lately that it has attracted the at-
tention of commercial growers, first by
its beauty and second by its great hardi-

ness, in which it is superior to Dracsena
fragrans. The specimen illustrated was
photographed at the establishment of W.
A. Manda, South Orange, N. J. The
plant makes a fine specimen, one to two
feet high, the long, pointed leaves being
closely set, of great substance, bright
green in color. It is yrell adapted for
either indoor or outdoor use.

THRIPS IN BEAUTY HOUSE.

Prevention Better Than Cure*

This season so far there has been less
complaint than usual about the ravages
of thrips in Beauty houses. Is there any
explanation for this? In former years
we would have credited this condition to
either a wet or cold fall. Neither of
these conditions prevailed during the past
season ; still there are few complaints

- ■ —>

Dracaena Rothiana*

about thrips. However, it i^not good
policy to shout until we are mit of the
woods, and we have quite a long journey
yet. So it is best to use all precautions
to keep the pest in subjection.

As a means of preventing its entrance
to the houses, great care should be taken
to see that the manure used for mulching
is free from the eggs. If there is any
danger from this source the manure
■should be cooked; that is, subjected to
such a temperature, either by boiling or
roasting, that the eggs could not possibly
survive.

I have frequently noticed that houses
which have been clear of thrips during
the early part of the season have devel-
oped a good crop of them immediately
after the first application of mulch.

Use of Cayenne Pepper.

Light and persistent fumigation of to-
bacco stems will keep thrips in subjec-
tion. This frequent fumigation has a
tendency to bleach the outer petals, which
of course reduces the value of the bloom.
Cayenne pepper can be used once a week
with good effect. To derive the full ben-
efit from this method of fumigating, it
should be applied somewhat as follows:

Procure some iron plates and heat them
in the furnace, withdrawing them just be-
fore they become red. Lay these in the
path at about twenty feet apart and close
the ventilators. After everything is in
readiness, start at the end of the house
farthest from the door and place on each
plate a spoonful of the pepper. Work
towards the door as quickly as possible,
as the fumes are disagreeable and even
dangerous if inhaled freely. Keep the
house closed until the fumes are dissi-
pated. This should be repeated at least
twice a week during the season.

Many have found this method no good,
but the reason is that they do not carry
it out consistently. If after a few ap-
plications they still find thrips, the
method is condemned. As the egg.s av.'!
being hatched all the time, each brood
should be looked after as soon as it
appears. Ribes.

BEAUTIES IN GEORGIA.

A great many people labor under the
delusion that the American Beauty rose
cannot be successfully grown as a green-
house crop in the south, but this is re-
futed by a glance at the accompanying

bouses of Beauties at the establishment
of John Wolf, at Savannah, Ga., whose
experience has been that he can grow the
rose as successfully as it is grown in a
more temperate climate.

^ Mr. Wolf's establishment is a modern
one and the Beauties have tis good quar-
ters as experience and money can pro-
vide. The house is a Lord & Burnham
structure, the plants growing in solid
beds, which are found preferable to
benches because they do not dry out so
fast.

Mr. Wolf has been in the business at
Savannah since March 1, 1895, when he
located there with $60 cash capital. With
this sum he bought hotbfed sash and
plants. Not many florists ever made as
small a beginning as did Mr. Wolf, and
not many have worked harder or pros-
pered more. Now he has twenty-one
large greenhouses, all new, the entire
place 'having been built or rebuilt within
the last three years. He also has ten
acres of land inside the city limits, with
all improvements, office buildings, sta-
bles, horses, fixtures, a two-story dwell-
ing, in good shape and paid for. Mr. Wolf
was married on New Year's day, 1900,
to Miss Sterib, of Philadelphia, to whom
he gives a large share of the credit for
his success. Besides the retail trade done
in Savjinnah, he does a large shipping
business to nearby towns and says he has
no trouble in selling all that he can grow.
Mr. Wolf is only 37 years of age and he
says that he expects the next ten years to
show a much greater increase in his es-
tablishment and the business than have
the last ten years.

LOVE AND SYMPATHY.

Is there a feeling of mutual sympathy
between a gardener and the plants he
grows, and do the latter respond to care
and kindness the same as a dog or a
horse, or is it all a question of cultural
attention? These were questions raised
by a lecturer at a recent meeting of the
Bristol Gardeners' Association, and, as
might be expected, they aroused quite an
animated discussion. At any rate, says
the Gardeners' Magazine, there is some-
thing novel in the idea of plants re-
sponding to the care of a sympathetic
grower, and vice versa, and if there is
anything in it, then love and affection

A Beauty House at John Wolf s^ Savannah^ Gft»

are the chief factors in successful horti-
culture. I must admit that I have often
marveled at the way certain plants thrive
and bloom under the care of old cottage
dames in tiny windows, and where the
conditions from a gardener's point of
view are by no means favorable. There
is no mistake about the old women loving
their plants. Perhaps this explains it.

SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

The large flowers common to most sec-
tions of the chrysanthemum family, the
result of specialized treatment, enjoy a
well-earned popularity which few of us
would seek to lessen in the slightest de-
gree, yet there are occasions when we
feel they are overdone, and instinctively
we seek the rest and change secured by
the single varieties. These make a wel-
come change and addition as pot plants,
but it is probably as cut flowers for fur-
nishing dinner-tables, living-rooms, and
all decorative work where lightness is es-
sential that their utility is most generally
recognized. Of late years the single va-
rieties have made steady progress in pop-

ular estimation, which is partly explained
by the present tendency to produce
varieties having a clean central disk, this
being one of the prominent character-
istics of a first-class flower. At the same
time, there has been a steady advance in
the production of flowers having decided
color.

The cultivation of single chrysanthe-
mums does not materially differ from
what is generally given the other sections
of this group of plants. They may with
advantage be propagated later. The soil
should be moderately rich, and artificial
manures be mainly employed to
strengthen the color of the flowers, avoid-
ing stimulants which influence vegetative
growth alone.

Taste in the size of flower has often to
be reckoned with; at present medium-
sized flowers, like Mary Anderson or the
beautiful Stella, appeal with singular
force, while for certain classes of deco-
rative work the dainty quill-like flowers
of Star of Honor are appropriate, being
suitable for arranging in the smallest and
lightest flower glasses. The varieties
named are offered by an English garden-
ing magazine as the selection of the best
seen at the exhibitions in 1907 :

Star of Honor. — White, having a single
row of quill-like petals borne upon dark-
colored wiry stems.

Stella. — Pure glistening white, petals
not flat, and in a double row ; a first-class
variety of dwarf habit.

Mary Anderson — White, soon changing
to pink, petals broad and flat ; a good old
variety.

Annie Holden. — A rich bronze-yellow
sport from Mary Anderson; desirable.

Annie Bramwell. — WTiite, single row of
petals, broad and refiexing, dwarf habit;
one of the best.

Sir George BuUough. — Dark yellow,
dwarf habit ; an old variety, but still one
of the best yellows.

Kitty - Bourne. — Deep yellow, double
row petals, dwarf habit; grand flower.

Mrs. B. N. Parkinson. — Bright yellow,
petals flat, habit and growth like Mary
Anderson; extra.

Mrs. E. Roberts. — White ground suf-
fused by a delicate rose color, petals flat,
about three and a half inches across; a
splendid single.

NOBLE'S HOOSffiR HOME.

In this issue of the Review there are
three illustrations which show how pleas-
antly t). C. Noble is situated at Colum-
bia City, Ind., where he built his first
greenhouse fourteen years ago. It was
only 18x54 feet and was put up for
growing lettuce, radishes and tomatoes.
So good did the local demand for these
prove to be that he extended the house

the next year and two years after added
another house sixty feet long, using hot-
bed sash for the roof.

In 1900, with a partner, three more
houses 18x100 were built, but the part-
nership lasted only one year. It was in
this year that carnations and roses were
first grown, and these did so well that
the next season another house 18x100
was added, with a small structure 12x48.
This constitutes what Mr. Noble knows
as the old plant and is next to his dwell-
ing. The heating here is hot water.

In 1906 he built three houses 21x150,
across the alley, "and heats this range
with steam. This year he added another
house 21x150 to the new plant and grew
in it 5,000 chrysanthemums, achieving
such good results that he was able to
win first prize on fifty blooms white at
the Chicago flower show, his Mrs. Robin-
son beating-the Eatons shown by Wietor
Bros, and the Poehlmann Bros. Co. His
Appleton were second ^nd so were his
Viviand-Morel, Poehlmann Bros. Co.

CARNATION NOTES. -EAST.

Watering.

Conditions affecting soil moisture un-
der glass are different from those met
with in the open, where there are no
heating pipes, raised benches or confine-
ment of roots. While these are intended
to assist nature Ijy maintaining more con-
genial conditions, they are nevertheless
artificial and consequently demand close
attention.

The old-time rule of watering only
when dryness of soil made it imperative
and then drenching the soil to the point
of saturation or until a fair sized shower
occurred under the bench, was obviously
a waste of water, to say nothing of the
loss of plant food carried out in solu-
tion. Probably no system of heating is
without defect, and partly on this account
we find spots which dry out sooner than
the greater part of the bench; also the
strip of soil along the side of a bench is
inclined to become dry, especially on
afternoons of bright days, and no matter
when either state of affairs is found to
exist, suflScient water should at once be
applied to equalize matters.

A trip through the houses every morn-
ing and afternoon in search of such dry-
ness is time well employed.

The oft-repeated advice to do the gen-
eral watering on mornings of bright days
is safe to follow, but I cannot accept
the theory that no water should be al-
lowed to touch the foliage; on the con-

trary, the whole plant is benefited by a
gentle bath.

Of course, when touching up the dry
spots between general waterings, care will
be taken to wet the soil only.

If what promised to be a bright day
turns out cloudy or stormy, after having
watered, do not make the mistake of
turning on more heating pipe and shut-
ting the ventilators, with the idea of dry-
ing off the foliage. Turn on a little
more heat if you choose, but raise the
ventilators as the temperature increases,
keeping the air moving outward.

In regard to syringing, I can only re-
peat my unaltered opinion that as a
remedy for red spider it is often worse
than the afliiction; the careful grower
will detect this pest's first appearance
and either sacrifice the plant or prevent
increase and spreading.

CARDINAL AND WOLCOTT.

At the place where I work the Cardinal
carnation often does not open well, look-
ing sleepy when it first opens and stay-
ing that way. Our Wolcott also has
somewhat the same tendency. Is there
anything we can do to bring them out
better? J. R. T.

When we grew Cardinal we had some
blooms act the same way as you describe
during the early winter, but later on the
trouble disappeared. We were unable to
discover the cause, so we concluded that
it was a weakness in the variety. You
will find Victory, Beacon or Red Chief

more satisfactory to grow than Cardinal.

If the Wolcott stick in the center it
may be that they are infested with the
mite which is described by Mr. Davis on
page 8 of the Review for December 19.
Examine the blooms closely and, while
you are looking for the mite, look also
for thrips. They may be the cause of the
trouble.

In this case, too, I would advise you
to stock up with the newer sorts. Un-
less you are unusually successful with
Wolcott you will find White Perfection
or White Enchantress far superior and
more profitable to grow. Yon will always
find that a moderate sum of money spent
in new varieties each season is a splen-
did investment. That you must recruit
your list of varieties with the improved
sorts as they prove themselves worthy
goes without saying. I have always main-
tained that the grower who keeps' right
up to date is usually the one who makes
the most headway. It may be that the
same progressiveness which impels him
to keep up with the times in this direc-
tion causes hiiil to be more progressive in
other directions, but anyway, you will
usually find the current season's intro-
ductions on the places which are turning
out the best stock and turning in the
most money.

By this I do not mean a certain class
of plungers, for I have always advised
against plunging on any one new variety.
Our own experience with the new varie-
ties has taught us to avoid such folly.
Having decided on about how much we
wish to invest in new varieties, we make

a list of all the varieties which we think
might prove valuable to us and a few
others, and then we order of each ac-
cordingly: Of some only a hundred, of
others more, according to our impression
or information about each variety. More
than once have we found that the varie-
ties on which we would have plunged
have proved to be the least valuable of
the collection. A most notable case was
the variety Fiancee.

Under our method we have never yet
failed to get one or more valuable addi-
tions to our list each year, and sometimes
they came from where we least expected
them. The old adage of not putting all
your eggs in one basket is certainly well
applied in the buying of new varieties. ,

I do not pretend to say how many you
should buy of each new variety. That is
entirely a matter for your own discre-
tion. The size of your business and the
nature of your business must determine
that for you. If you propagate for your
own planting only, you will not need as
many as you will if you do a rooted cut-
ting business. A hundred plants will
make lots of cuttings and even less than
that number will suffice on many places.

We have heard the remark that if a
new variety is worth growing at all, not
less than 1,000 plants should be benched.
I agree with that remark when speaking
of standard varieties, but with the new
varieties, never. It is the language of
the plunger, unless he has a very large
establishment. Imagine a grower who
houses 25,000 to 50,000 plants buying a
thousand each of a dozen or more varie-
ties each season at $100 per thousand!
It IS among these plungers that you hear
the complaints about new varieties being
gold bricks, etc., but you never hear such
complaints from the grower who buys a
reasonable quantity of practically every
variety offered. He expects to fail with
part of his purchases, but he seldom fails
with all of them, and those which do suc-
ceed more than repay him for those which

CARNATION SHOW IN LONDON.

The finest show of carnations ever seen
in £]ngland was held in the Royal Botanic
Gardens, London, December 11, under the
auspices of the Winter-flowering Carna-
tion Society. The marked improvement
in the number and quality of the ex-
hibits bore testimony to the rapid strides
carnation culture is making in this coun-
try. In a short time we expect to have
many English raised varieties and the
society is formulating a registration
scheme. On this occasion, however, there
were no home raised varieties equal to
Mrs. H. Burnett and Britannia.

First-class certificates were awarded to
the American varieties Winsor and
Melody, exhibited by A. F. Button, Iver
Bucks, the pioneer grower and exhibitor
of American varieties, and to Rose-pink
Enchantress and Beacon, exhibited by
Hugh Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, who
now rank among our largest cultivators.

For collection of cut carnations W. H.
Page, Hampton, was awarded the blue
ribbon for flowers of fine quality in
which My Maryland, Mrs. T. W. Lawson,
Enchantress, Britannia, Harlowarden,
etc., were prominent. S. Mortimer se-
cured second prize with an artistic ar-
rangement in which the best were En-
chantress, Harlowarden, Lady Bountiful,
Mrs. M. A. Patten, Mrs. H. Burnett and
Nelson Fisher.

The leading classes were for vases of
thirty-six blooms. For white, all three
prizes went to White Perfection; first,
W. H. Lancashire, Guernsey; second, G.
Lange, Hampton; third, W. H. Page,
Hampton. For blush all prizes went to
Enchantress in the following order: A.
Smith, Enfield, W. H. Page and W. H.
Lancashire. For light pink or salmon,
A. F. Button scored with a charming
vase of Winsor, followed by A. Smith
and H. Burnett, both with Mrs. H. Bur-
nett. For deep pink or rose, Mrs. T. W.
Law.son held the sway, the prizes going

to W. H. Page, W. H. Lancashire and
A. F. Button. For crimson, A. F. But-
ton came to the front with Harlowarden ;
W. H. Page second with Gov. Roose-
velt; W. H. Lancashire third. A. Smith
was first for scarlet, exhibiting his own
variety, Britannia; W. H. Lancashire sec-
ond, with Robert Craig. On any other
color or fancy, A. F. Button was first,
with Imperial, and H. Burnett, second,
with Mikado.

Then followed classes of the above
named colors for eighteen flowers of
each. White Perfection was not so much
in evidence here, the prizes going to Lady
Bountiful, White Enchantress and My
Maryland, exhibited respectively by Bell
& Sheldon, Guernsey; H. Mathias, Med-
stead, and S. Mortimer. Bell & Sheldon
were first in nearly all the eighteen
blooms classes, winning in the blush class
with Enchantress. Winsor was first in
the pink or salmon class, the President
in the crimson class, Robert Craig and
Britannia first and second in the scarlet
class.

For twelve blooms of any variety not
in commerce, W. H. Lancashire scored
with a seedling having a large, finely
formed scarlet flower, but not altogether
too pleasing a shade for commercial pur-
poses. The same exhibitor was honored
with having the finest vase of flowers in
the show, thirty-six of White Perfection.

There were many minor classes in
which smaller growers competed, in many
instances with creditable flowers. Non-
competitive exhibits were a grand fea-
ture of the show and some of the ex-
hibitors put up a wide range of varieties
on long stretches of tabling, notably: H.
Burnett, large gold medal; Hugh Low &
Co., large silver gilt medal; Bell & Shel-
don, gold medal; J. Lange, silver gilt
medal; J, Peed & Son, large silver
medal ; C. Engellmann, silver gilt medal,
etc.

J. R. Fotheringham, representing F.
R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown-on-Hudson,
N. Y., has been over here for several
w-eeks on a business trip and was in-
vited by the committee to assist as one
of the judges, and this he did with satis-
faction to all. After the judging he
spoke in eulogistic terms of the excellence
of the show and the quality of the
blooms, assuring us that in the leading
classes they were equal to the blooms

AT BRANDYWINE SUMMIT, PA.

A visit recently to E. A. Harvey 's
place, where carnations abound, was
much enjoyed. While Edwin was not
at home, his father took the lead and
we followed from house to house, be-
ginning with the house of Lawson,
bench^ the last of February, which
were fine, and surely one could ask no
more at this season of the year. Just
across the ^ain aisle was a block of
Aristocrat, -which looked good, but did
not see the gilt or hear the gingle that
was in sight on the other side. Winsor,
just over the way, was giving Lawson
a hard chase, and Enchantress and Bose-
pink Enchantress were traveling in their
usual fine style. Quite _ a fine lot of
Lady Bountiful showed' all signs of
winning the race in the whites. Per-
fection, hard by, was not in it at all.
Queen still holds a good space. Vic-
tory was not to be passed by unnoticed.
Beacon promises well for a little later.

A trial block of E. C. Marshall's
white made us stand and take notice.
It has flowers of the largest size, with
stems strong and erect. A visit to its
home, near Kennett Square, is well worth
the time it takes. Any one wanting a
white — and that of all colors we cannot
do without — ought to keep an eye on it,
for like its owner, E. C. MarshaU, it will
bear scrutinizing and acquaintance. I
have seen it at three different times
since it was planted in, and on the last
visit I was amazed to see the wonder-
ful wealth of growth and bloom that
had developed in the four weeks. At
Mr. Marshall's place we also saw En-
chantress and Victory of fine quality.
Queen naturally has had to retire to
the side beds, with Bed Sport and its

companions. A house of mignonette
here, as well as two at Mr, Harvey's,
were in the best of shape.

THE BEGONIA MITE.

The begonia mite is a scourge in some
gardens. Specimens of begonias sent
from the west of England to the Board
of Agriculture, says a British contem-
porary, were found to be infested with
the mite (Tarsonymus), but this mite
does not confine its attack to begonias,
some species of which seem to be more
susceptible than others, but also infests
a number of other plants. Closely alUed
species have on occasion done much harm
to box. With begonias the pest seems to
be held in check if the plants are dusted
with tobacco powder. Tobacco water and
fumigating with tobacco are also favor-
ably mentioned. Sulphur is a well-known
treatment for mites generally, the treat-
ment recommended for the black currant
mite being to dust the plants with a mix-
ture of two parts of sulphur to one part
of finely ground unslaked lime. The be-
gonia mite spreads rapidly where the cul-
tural conditions favor it, and the increase

is especially marked when the plants are
allowed to become too dry. A case is
known in which the mite, at one time a
great pest, is now easily kept in check by
the thorough and repeated syringing of
t^e plants with clean water.

NERINES.

Those brilliant South African bulbous
plants, the nerines, are little seen in
either commercial or private establish-
• ments. This is rather surprising, as
they'bloom at a period when choice flow-
ers are the reverse of abundant. One
reason why they are not grown commer-
cially is that at the time flowers are pro-
duced the plants are practically leafless.
The umbels of flowers, borne on scapes
twelve to twenty-four inches long, are,
however, splendid for cutting and last
nearly a fortnight in water, and should
sell readily at any of the high-class
flower stores, where novelties are always
in demand.

Nerines, or Guernsey lilies, as they
are commonly called, need cool treatment
at all seasons. Our plants are wintered
in a light, sunken pit which has no fire
heat and where the temperature fre-
quently hovers near the freezing point.
The plants are never in the greenhouse
except when in bloom, being placed in
the pit as soon as the flowers have faded,
and are grown there until the middle of
May, when they are laid on their sides
on a hot, sunny bank and left in this
position until the flower scapes show in
September or October. Two essentials
for success in nerine growing are to have
the pots thoroughly matted with roots
(otherwise they will not bloom) and to
give them a thorough summer baking in
the sun.

In potting, three bulbs may go into a
5-inch pot and from a 5-inch into a
6-inch; such sorts as Sarniensis or Foth-
ergilli major, some of the pink and
other light forms, making smaller bulbs,
do well in smaller pots or in shallow
pans. For compost, turfy loam, leaf-
mold and sharp sand is ideal, and plants
should not be potted more than once in
six or eight years, for the best results.
Small bulbs can be picked out and potted
rather thickly until they reach blooming
size. The old plants require a little sur-
face dressing each fall and doses of
liquid manure once a week while making

their growth, the leaves appearing just
after the flowers.

The plants can be used effectively for
open fire-place decoration, mixed with
maidenhair ferns, and are • Iso good for
stands or window-boxes, arranged with
light foliage plants of any kind. In a
cut state they make a bright and at-
tractive dining-table centerpiece. No
other bulbous plant, excepting perhaps
Vallota purpurea, compares with them
in brilliancy.

N. FothergiUi major, with crimson

scarlet flowers, is in my estimation the
best of the forms. It is in season late
in October or the early part of Novem-
ber. N: Sarniensis, brilliant scarlet, has
smaller- umbels and blooms a few days
later. N. Corusca, which is in reality a
form of N. Sarniensis, has larger flowers,
broader foliage and greater vigor. The
foregoing are the best varieties to grow,
but the weaker growing, but free bloom-
ing pink, rose and other light-colored
sorts are well worth a place in any col-
lection of plants. W. N. Craig.

SOME FACTS

ABOUT SOILS

WJWL<^^>^>.^♦Jn■'♦^'♦=n.'^^♦^w>.'♦^^

Definition of SoiL

Soils are an aggregation of rock and
mineral fragments, carrying an admix-
ture of organic debris, together with
substances in soluble and colloidal con-
dition. The productivity of soils is de-
termined by their composition, by their
structure, by their climate and by the
life activities within them. By composi-
tion we refer to their mineral and chem-
ical nature; by their structure we refer
to the size of the soil grains and to the
segregation of them; by their climate we
refer to their water content, their tem-
perature, their aSration, their drainage;
by life activities we refer to the inter-

Wis., read before the Congress of Horticulture

action of the roots of plants and micro-
organisms upon one another, upon the
soil grains, upon the organic matter, up-
on substances in solution and upon col-
loids.

Compositioa.

The composition of soils, and their
structure so far as it influences weight,
determine the absolute amount of plant
food elements per unit volume, per cubic
foot, per acre-foot or per acre-four-feet,
which is the depth to which most crops
are a,ble to feed, the depth to which they
send their roots if all the factors of
productivity are at their best. Compo-
sition, therefore, determines the endur-
ance of a field; the outermost limit of
its productive capacity. This statement
is not in accord with the teaching of

our national Department of Agriculture,
where it aflSrms: "Practically all soils
contain sufficient plant food for good
crop yields; the supply will be indefinite-
ly maintained and this actual yield of
plants adapted to the soil depends main-
ly, under favorable climatic conditions,
upon cultural methods and suitable crop
rotation. ' *

It is safe to say that no statement in
recent years, designed to direct agricul-
tural practice and issued by high author-
ity, is farther from the truth than this.
Few statements could be more mislead-
ing and land agents are using it, both
in good faith and unscrupulously, to sell
at high price low grade lands. Much
nearer the truth is the statement: No
soils contain sufficient plant food for
maximum yields when all other factors
are at their best; and the best cultural
methods, with rotation of crops, only
hasten the exhaustion of soils.

Fallacy In Teaching.

The Department's teaching has result-
ed from confusing plant food elements
with plant food. Rigid chemical analysis
has demonstrated that primary rock,
crushed to the fineness of soil, may carry
per acre-four-feet, seventy-eight tons of
potassium, 250 tons of calcium, 133 tons
of magnesium and even eight tons of
phosphorus. So, too, an acre-four-feet
of good soil may carry as much as 100
tons of potassium, forty-five tons of cal-
cium, thirty-five tons of magnesium and
even twelve tons of phosphorus, and
there is this much foundation in fact for
the statement we have criticised. But
these enormous amounts of plant food
elements present in the root zone of
field crops are no more to be regarded
as plant food for those crops than they
are food for the animals feeding upon
pasture grass.

■:^^^'K*'-*' _:■ Structure. ■•. , , ',

From the standpoint of structure, soils
differ very widely, both in the extent of
their internal surface and in the char-
acter and extent of the segregation or
their particles. These differences are
fundamental, and very important in de-
termining the relative productive capac- , ,
ity and In directing agricultural prac- ^
tice. An acre-four-foot of one-foot gran- ^"
ite blocks would possess an internal sur- . \
face of twenty-four acres to which water
might adhere, upon which plant food
might develop and where it might be
stored, over which the roots of plants
might spread and feed and where soil ,
organisms might dwell. To reduce the
diameters of these cubes from one to
one-thousandth of a foot would increase
the internal surface one. thousand-fold,
making it aggregate 24,000 acres per
acre of field. But even this surface is
too small to maintain a high productive
capacity. Our coarsest sandy soils pos-
sess an internal surface per acre-four-
feet exceeding forty-five square miles
per acre of field; our loams, 270 square
miles ; while our finest clay types pos-
sess an internal surface exceeding 1,300
square miles per acre of field. It is
clear, therefore, that there must be wide
differences in the productive capacity of
soils due to differences of internal sur-
face alone, even where their chemical
natures may be identical. This must be
80, because where there is more surface
more water can be retained, plant food
may form more rapidly and more may be
stored and held in reserve and even ac-
cumulated during intervals of small de-
mand, as well as retained against loss
by leaching. ,

The innermost portion of water films
investing soil grain surfaces, in my
judgment, is held there with so much
force as to be little subject to change,
either by drainage or capillary move-
ment, and also becomes highly charged
with plant food, which likewise is strong-
ly retained, escaping only by the slow
process of diffusion when the roots of
plants are placed in contact with the soil
grain surfaces or when the excess hydro-
static and capillary portions of water
are moving by. We have found, for ex-
ample, that when a chemically cleaned
sand was charged with a solution of
potassium nitrate, ten repeated washings
in twice its weight of distilled water
still left in the films of moisture retained
by the sand grains enough of the nitrate
to represent 244 pounds per acre-four-
feet. Plant food so retained by soils
may still be available to crops, for their
root hairs are similarly invested with
water films and when placed in apposi-
tion with the soil grains the water film
becomes common to the two and simple
diffusion permits the root to feed upon
the plant food so retained.

Proper Drainage.

This brings me to consider a principle
underlying prdper land drainage. It is
very important that when rain falls upon
a field the excess water remain only just
long enough on its way through the
open water passages to saturate the soil;
anything longer than this provides time
and opportunity for the most valuable
plant food materials carried in the water
films about the soil grains to diffuse out
into the moving water and so become
lost in the drainage.

TTo be continued.)

The food of plants, derived from the
soil, is only certain substances which are
dissolved in the soil moisture or which
are carried in the soil in a form which
may be readily so taken up as it is
needed; and the amounts of these pres-
ent in the root zone of field crops at
any one time are relatively very small
when compared with the arnounts of the
plant food elements from which they
are derived. Much more is a soil like
a pasture where plant food grows than
like a bank or granary where it is
stored, and just as a rich pasture may
produce suflBcient grass to carry a large
herd, so may a fertile soil produce from
day to day plant food sufficient for good
crops. Just -as pastures differ in the
amounts of herbage on the ground and
in the amounts they are able to add to
this as it is fed away, so do fields differ
both in the amounts of plant food pres-
ent in the root zone at any one time
and in the amounts they are "able to add
as this is withdrawn.

An Actual Experiment.

Our own observations, published by
the Bureau of Soils, have demonstrated
that four good soils, observed to pro-
duce 2.5 times the yield of corn and
potatoes per acre that four poorer soils
did under identical treatments, also gave
up, when washed three minutes in five
times their weight of pure water, 2.58
times as much plant food. Not only
was there this difference in the amounts
of plant food carried in water-solilble
form in the best and in the poorer soils,
but the amounts of this same plant food
taken out of like areas of field by like
numbers and kinds of plants during the
same time was 3.2 times as great in the
sap of the plants which gave the high-
est yield. Such observations would ap-
pear to fully justify the general convic-
tion that increased yields should be di-
rectly attributed to better feeding and
that better feeding is a direct result of
larger amounts of plant food available
to the crop. It is taught, however, by
the Bureau of Soils, that all soil solu-
tions are sensibly identical in composi-
tion and in concentration ; that they are
strong enough for large yields and that
this strength will be indefinitely main-
tained. From these conclusions the Bu-
reau further teaches that mineral fer-
tilizers, green and stable manures and a
good rotation of crops owe their ef-
ficiency to the power they have of neu-
tralizing toxic principles which tend to
accumulate in cultivated soils, rather
than to any power of increasing avail-
able plant food, an abundance of which
at all times and in all soils is held to be
present.

Availability of Plant Food,

While it is true that good soils may
yield to pure water two, three and more
times the amounts of plant food • that
poorer soils will, and while the absolute
differences may be as 3,200-pounds per
acre-four-feet to 1,200 pounds, yet these
quantities are so small in proportion to
the total water present in the soil that
one may with truth say, from the stand-
point of the chemical balance, as Pro-
fessor Whitney does, that the composi-
tion and concentration of all soil solu-
tions are sensibly the same. Neverthe-
less it is undoubtedly true that aoil solu-
tions are measurably different, "both in
composition and concentration, and from
the standpoint of plant functions they
must be profoundly so, for organic life

is almost inconceivably sensitive to small
quantities of matter.

Our published results show, too, that
we are able to recover from the surface
four feet of good soil as much water-
soluble plant food of both potassium
and phosphorus as would be removed
from a field by nine forty-bushel crops
of wheat per acre, and from poorer soils
as much as would be removed by six
such crops, and here is what has been
thought a safe foundation for the con-
tention that even in water-soluble form
the poorest soils contain plant food
enough for good yields. So there is,
in absolute quantity, but not in
available quantity. For example, a
three-horse tread-power may be in
such condition that when one horse
is put upon it no work is done; adding
a second horse may yet yield only half
an available horse-power, but when the
third horse is put in place its whole
weight may yield effective power, so that
the available work becomes three times
what it was with two horses. So it may
be with soils. Plant food enough for
perhaps many crops must be present in
order that enough for one may become
available. • -

Nature's Metfxod of Fertilizing.

So far as we know, either from pub-
lished data or on a priori ground, there
is no foundation for the hope that the
supply of plant food in soils may be in-
definitely maintained simply by good till-
age and suitable crop rotations, which
make positive additions only of nitrogen
to the soil. The only way Nature has
ever produced crops, and this is the way
she has always maintained soil fertility,
has been to return to the field the whole
crop, and by working along this line for
a thousand years together she never did
and never can bring all her fields to an
equality in productive capacity, as should
be the case if all soils carry an abund-
ance of plant food.

A very simple calculation, based on
well-established data, will show that an
exhaustion of the plant food elements,
large as these amounts are, must neces-
sarily follow any system of cropping
which involves no return to the soil oth-
er than nitrogen. The amounts of plant
food removed by certain crops are defin-
itely known; the absolute amounts of
plant food elements carried by good soils
are known, and taking twenty tons of
potassium per acre-foot, which is about
the amount carried, a quantity equal to
the whole of this would be removed in
about 1,400 years by wheat yields of for-
ty bushels per acre ; and the entire
amount of phosphorus carried by the sur-
face foot is equivalent to only about 400
such crops. Careful records have shown,
too, that the Mississippi river carries
out to sea annuAlly enough material to
lower its entire drainage area one foot
each 4,000 to 6,000 years, which means
that the surface foot of soil may be com-
pletely removed and replaced by a cor-
responding layer from below at the same
rate, but the rate of removal of potas-
sium by a forty-bushel crop of wheat is
three to four times as rapid as this, and
the crop exhaustion for phosphorus is
ten to fifteen times as rapid as rock is
being converted into new soil on the
average over the Mississippi valley.
Were Professor Whitney's contention
true, the mean productive capacity of
the soils in the Mississippi valley should
be no more than three to four bushels
of wheat per acre, for this is the rate
at which rock weathering and erosion are

THE DEATH ROLL.

W. W. Edgar.

After a somewhat lingering illness,
borne however with much patience, W, W.
Edgar died December 18, of cancer of
the liver. Mr. Edgar was an English-
man, hailing from Cheshire, where he first
saw the light April 28, 1843. After work-
ing on several English estates, he decided
to try his fortunes in Ainerica and
crossed the Atlantic in 1867. He was
employed first in the, at that time, well
known Pratt estate in Watertown, where
David Allan had charge for many years.
Later he went as gardener to Major Claf-
fler, who became governor of Massachu-
setts, and stayed there seven years. Aft-
erwards he was employed by the late
John Galvin, father of Thomas F. Gal-
vin, the well-known Boston florist, and
upon leaving him went as foreman to
Thomas W. Dee, at Mount Auburn, where
he stayed until he started business on
his own account, at Waverley, Mass., in
1885. ■

Mr. Edgar, who was possessed of tire-
less energy, soon built up for himself a
successful business and his productions,
both of cut flowers and plants, have al-
ways had a high standing in the Boston
market. His specialty had usually been
pot plants, such as lilies, Lorraine bego-
nias, azaleas, Rambler roses, acacias,
poinsettias, ferns and about every thin jj
salable from a commercial standpoint. In
addition to his greenhouses at Waverley,
which covered a considerable area, Mr.
Edgar, owing to his increasing business,
bought the Nathan Morse estate in Wal-
tham, a short walk from his other plant.

and erected several commodious houses
on it. The deceased was possibly the first
successful commercial grower of the now
popular Begonia Gloire de Lorraine and
was quick to note the merits in any nov-
elties which promised well from a com-
mercial point of view. He on many oc-
casions exhibited at the Boston shows,
having some splendid vases of chrysan-
themums at the last exhibition.

Mr. Edgar was always pleased to wel-
come visitors at his greenhouses and home
and the Gardeners ' and Florists ' Club en-
joyed pleasant field days there on several
occasions, being always kindly enter-
tained. Of this society the deceased gen-
tleman had been a member almost from
its organization. He was a life member
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety, of the S. A. F. and the American
Rose Society. He had been for some
time a director in the Park Street flower
market, where many of his products were
sold. He was a member of Belmont Lodge
A. F. & A. M. and Coeur de Lion Com-
mandery K. T., of Charlestown. He also
belonged to the Odd Fellows and Royal
Arcanum. In affairs connected with the
town of Waverley he took an active inter-
est and his was one of the best known
figures in a community in which he was
held in much esteem.

Mr. Edgar had been married three
times, a wife and nine children surviv-
ing him. Two sons, Robert S. and
Frank, are engaged in the business at
Waverley and have been a great help to
their father of late years. The inter-
ment took place from All Saints'
Church, Belmont, December 21, when the
sacred edifice contained a large gather-
ing of mourning friends who" had come

from far and near to pay a last tribute
of respect. There were delegations
from the several societies to which Mr.
Edgar belonged, including a number of
his confreres from the Park Street mar-
ket and Gardeners' and Florists' Club,
each of which sent handsome floral sou-
venirs. The display of flowers was one
of the largest seen at any funeral in
Waverley of late years. The pallbearers
were Alex Montgomery, Thomas Roland,
W. J. Stewart, P. Welch, M. P. Norton,
Joseph Fuller, F. R. Mathieson and T.
A. Cox.

Mrs. Julius Schray.

Mrs. Julius Schray, wife of Julius E.
Schray, St. Louis, died early Monday
morning, December 23, after a short ill-
ness. Mr. Schray is of the well-known
firm of Wm. Schray 's Sons and his naany
friends in the trade extend their sym-
pathy.

Dennis McKenney.

Dennis McKenney, a nurseryman well
known in Alameda county, California,
was burned to death at his home in Irv-
ington, Cal., on the morning of Decem-
ber 19. Mr. McKenney was alone in his
house at the time and the fire was dis-
covered by a watchman on the premises,
who hastened to extinguish it, but when
he broke in his employer was found ter-
ribly burned about the lower part of the
body. He was still conscious when taken
from the building, but expired shortly
afterwards. The supposition is that Mr.
McKeuney went to sleep in bed with a
lighted cigar in his hand and in this
way set fire to the bedclothes. He was
60 years of age and leaves a wife to
mourn his loss.

George Vair.

George Vair, of Toronto, Ont., dropped
dead December 11 as he was stepping off
a street car on his way home from his
day's work. On leaving his work at the
Normal School he had appeared to be
in perfect health, and his death was evi-
dently due to some form of heart trouble.
He was bqrn in Scotland 74 years ago
and came to Toronto in 1855. During
the following year he was engaged by
Sir David McPherson as gardener and
florist at Chestnut Park, and he re-
tained that position for thirty years. Dur-
ing the last eight years of his life he
had been gardener at the Normal School.
He had always taken an active interest
in horticultural matters. He was promi
nent in the work of the Toronto Electoral
District Society and was its president for
about ten years. He was widely known
and highly esteemed in the trade and
took an active part in entertain'ng the
American Carnation Society at the time
of its convention at Toronto last Janu-
ary.

E. V. R. Thayer.

Eugene Van Rensselaer Thayer die<1
of heart disease at his Boston home De-
cember 20. Mr. Thayer was 52 years of
age and had been ailing for some time.
He had a fine estate at South Lancaster,
Mass., where also three of his brothers
had their residences. He was a life
member of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society. His head gardener, E. O.
Orpet, is noted as a grower of orchids
and has. made a specialty of seedling
raising. W. N. Craio.

WHAT IS MONEY?

The John C. Moninger Co., in a " Mer-
ry Christmas" circular, has this to say
on money:

"What is money? It is not wealth,
for no man figures his wealth by the'
actual cash money that he possesses.
Money is merely la means of exchange. It
is a substitute for real wealth. The man
who builds a house would not want to
take his pay in shoes from the man who
makes shoes — he couldn't use that many
shoes, nor would he want his pay in
hats, or neckties. For this reason money
was brought into use. Thousands of
years ago, before money was used, men
traded cattle. Cattle were wealth. If a man
had a piece of ground be sold it for
a certain number of cattle and all busi-
ness was transacted with cattle as the
base for money. Finally the hides were
traded and then a piece of leather with
a stamp on it. At -last paper was used
and various kinds of metals — money was
brought out in this way. It represented
wealth. Because money is short is no
sign that we are poorer — not in the least,
for our wealth still remains and we are
only in need of means for exchanging it.

"As to the shortage of money, the best
illustratipn we know of is this: Freight
cars are, like money, used for moving
things from one place to another, and
if several of the large owners of freight
cars got together and decided to hoard
the cars we would soon be without means
for moving our goods. Freight cars
would be short and the business of the
country would be at a standstill. If the
holders of money, from fear of hard
times and panics, choose to hide their
money and hold it, there of course fol-
lows a shortness of it. When our money
is gone we have no means of exchi^nging
our wealth and must go back to primi-
tive methods of trading cattle. We would
not be any poorer than we were before.

"It is now time for the man who has
any wealth, whether much or little, to put
it to use. You can make a better trade
just at present than you can later on.
We honestly believe that the florist who
builds for next year will make more
money than he ever did before on the
same amount of capital invested."

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The latter part of last week saw only
moderate demand but light supplies of
stock of good quality, so that prices were
strong. It was not until Saturday night
that there was any quantity of stock
to be seen, and this was due to Saturday
afternoon shipments by growers who
could not reach the market Sunday.

The Christmas business began in ear-
nest Sunday, when shipping was heavy.
Those houses which make a specialty of
the shipping business found it necessary
to work all day Sunday and a number
were open until late at night before the
last order was dispatched. It was a big

Mention The Keview «ii«-ii you wrli*-.

<lay — one of the largest the Chicago mar-
ket has seen in a long time. In general,
there was enough stock, but of course
special lines ran short. Some houses
were obliged to cut carnation'orders, but
most of them had enough of everything
but red. Roses were shorter than carna-
tions, which was just the opposite of
what had been expected by the majority.
Of course, red was out of the question.
Beauties were scarce, unless one was will-

ing to take open flowers, and these were
not wanted for shipping orders. There
was no special call for other items of
stock Sunday, although poinsettias,
(•hrysanthemums and some other things
were shipped in good quantity.

Monday, December 23, was really the
big day in the market. Orders were
heavier than on Sunday and supplies of
stock generally less. During the day it
was difficult for one wholesaler to buy ' f

in

another and early orders were cut —
many instances, but after the wholesal-
ers found where they stood there was a
sorting up which let orders go out in as
good shape as they ever are sent out at
a holiday. Of course, red could not be
supplied wherever wanted, and medium
Beauties were exceedingly short. Long
could be had if open flowers would do.
Roses were much shorter than carnations.
Enchantress was in heavy supply, exceed-

ing either piukor white in quantity, and
was just a little weaker in price than
had been expected, which may be said
to have been the case with the whole car-
nation market late Tuesday evening,
after the orders had gone out. There
were heavy receipts of violets December
23 and large quantities were carried over
to Tuesday, although the shipping de-
mand for violets is steadily increasing.
Poinsettias were in largo supply and not
especially good sale. There were no not-
able increases in the supply of such
things as lilies. Paper Whites, Komans,
sweet peas, stevia, etc., and few of these
are called for on shipping orders. Many
chrysanthemums were on hand, but most
of them were poor and not many ship-
ping orders called for them. The city
buyers received little attention Monday
and, in fact, they made little attempt
to buy for other than that day's needs,
asserting that a break was certain by
Tuesday night.

"While there was some stock carried
over from Monday night, Tuesday, De-
cember 24, brought much lighter receipts
than on the two previous days. The
market would have been comparatively
bare had the retailers taken hold as
usual Monday night, but even on Tues-
day morning they showed little desire to
buy. The receipts of violets, which had
been heavy Monday, were still heavier
Tuesday, but there were great differences
in quality. Some stock was fine, but
there were thousands upon thousands of
shakers. The good stock was selling out
fairly well at about $1.50 for Tuesday's
market, although prices ranged from $2
down. A fair clean-up of all good vio-
lets seems certain, but there will be a

great quantity of poor stuflf that will
bring next to nothing. Tuesday's mar-
ket was firmer than the retailers ex-
pected, the wholesalers standing firm
with the conviction that before the close
of business Tuesday night the retailers
would have to take at good prices every-
thing of good quality that was in the
market.

Christnus at RetaiL

The retailers put in the usual stocks
of plants in anticipation of the Christ-
mas trade, but most of them were in-
clined to delay the placing of orders for
cut flowers. The trade did not amount
to much until Monday, when the rush
began. As this issue of the Beview
went to press on Tuesday, it is impos-
sible to say how the total of sales com-
pare, but it seems likely to be some-
what less than last year, for where the
holiday business is crowded into a couple
of days it seldom makes a record. The
retailers say buyers generally have, asked
for lower priced gifts than last year.
The best selling baskets were from $4
to $6, where last year $5 to $10 was
readily paid, and the same request for
cut flowers at lower prices has been
noted.

Christinas Plants.

The supplies of Christmas plants were
rather greater than usual, but there was
not much novelty among them. Quality
was excellent, the azaleas being par-
ticularly gocd, and they were used in
more of the plant arrangements than
usual. I'ninsettias in pans were offered
in thousands, but not all were of rapid
selling quality. In fact, the bracts were
decidedly small. Cyclamens, primroses

and Jerusalem cherries were good and
sold well. Oranges and ardisias were seen
in considerable quantity, with some au-
cubas. Lorraine begonia was less freely
offered than last year. Boxwood and other
evergreens were used in considerable
quantity and it was noted that in many
stores more green was used in plant
arrangements than ever before.

A Retailers' Market.

A well-known downtown retailer says
that there is no cloud but has its silver
lining. While his business thus far this
season has been less than last year, the
difference in the cost of stock has been
enough to make up a large part of the
loss, and his profits have been almost as
great as last year. While a part of his.
requirements are extra select, he does a
great deal of funeral work and can use
flowers which would not ship. During
the rose glut in November he made a
harvest and with a falling off in sales
throughout October, in November ex
cept at Thanksgiving, and in December
up to Christmas, he came out nearly as
well as in the same period last year.

In Edgewater.

Stollery Bros, were looking forward
last Saturday to one of the busiest weeks
in their experience. They had already
received enough orders for 'decorations,
in churches and elsewhere, to assure them
of a good holiday business.

Leopold Koropp 's store, always notice-
able for its artistic appearance, is par-
ticularly attractive at present, in its
holiday array. Mr. Koropp has been
strenuously busy for a week or more.
In addition to a fair amount of work

AN INVITATION

To all my brother florists of
Chicago and vicinity, and all their
friends, I hereby extend a cordial
invitation to visit me in my newly
rebuilt quarters, at the old loca-
tion, Lincoln and Van Buren Sts.
My Christmas decorations will be
in place for two more weeks.

in his own immediate neighborhood, bo
had decorations for several downtown
hotels and restaurants, including the
Hofbrau, the Edelweiss, the Bismarck
and the Union hotel.

H, F. Halle is well satisfied with the
patronage he is receiving at his pleas-
ant new comer store on the north side.
His show windows are so large as to
give him a fine opportunity for the dis-
play of his stock. He has just received
a nice lot of azaleas, chiefly Simon Mard-
ner and Vervreneana.

Seitz & Nordell have dissolved partner-
ship and Henry Seitz is now running the
business in his own name. His new place
at the northeast comer of Evanston and
Glenlake avenues is a model of dura-
bility, completeness and convenience. The
greenhouses are of Moninger construc-
tion, with concrete walls. The store,
boiler-room, work-room and stable arc
built of concrete blocks. Mr, Seitz is
also building, for his own use, a pretty

six-room frame residence, near the green-
houses and fronting on Glenlake ave-
nue.

Mr. Kill is Interviewed.

A recent issue of the Inter Ocean, one-
time Chicago's leading daily, contained
half a column about Peter Reinberg and
his business that bore unmistakable evi-
dence that the young lady reporter had
been interviewing Leonard Kill. Wit-
ness the following:

"The Mrs. Marshall Field rose, which
is a shaded pink of exquisite tints, is
grown by Peter Keinberg, who combines
the duties of being the Democratic alder-
man from a Republican ward with the
business of being the grower of more
roses than any other Chicago florist.
There are 1,580,000 square feet of glass
over the Reinberg greenhouses, and the
Reinberg rose tract covers acres and
acres.

"Because the Reinberg roses arc
grown cooler than any other roses, they
keep longer and look fresher. There is a
dewy freshness about one of the Rein-
berg roses that a professional florist will
recognize at a glance.

"The colorings of the roses are an-
other accomplishment that the florists
who are employed by the Carnation Al-
derman have become expert in. The
tints of the roses are the more wonderful
to contemplate when the observer remem-
bers that they have been secured by a
marvelous application of scientific prin-
ciples of art with the assistance of na-
ture. It is the personal quality of ab-
sorbed and enthusiastic interest in the
growing of roses that has made the Rein-
berg rose what it is. From Alderman
Reinberg, and Manager Kill to the boys

who work in the greenhouses as assist-
ants, there is a uniform interest about
the product of the place. The Mrs.
Marshall Field is the queen who reigns
supreme among their roses, and they give
her the homage courtiers would pay to a
reigning monarch. And not one of her
lovely court of minor satellites is
neglected. ' '

A Christmas shipment of Mrs. Field

C, A. Samuelson and W. J.. Smyth had
the greater part of the business for the
Henry Dibblee^ funeral December 21,
where large quantities of flowers were
used. Mr. Smyth says business has been
excellent in the last fortnight, although
not quite up to last year.

At E, H, Hunt's, W, E, Lynch says
they were excessively busy beginning De-
cember 21, and that the Christmas sea-
son has been the best on record, with
the opportunity of doing more business
had the supply in certain lines been
greater.

The store of Kennicott Bros. Co, has
looked like Thanksgiving instead of
Christmas this week, because of large
receipts of Bonnaffon chrysanthemums.
Domer's new pink carnation, Winona,
is handled here. It sells quickly and
the retailers report it has great keeping
qualities.

C. A. Samuelson says buyers who
readily paid $20 per dozen for long
Beauties last Christmas, hesitated at $18
this year, and the $2 difference was di-
rectly out of the retailer's pocket.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. sent a good sized
shipment of its special grade of roses

to Ottawa, Canada, December 21. With
twenty-five per cent duty added to the
Chicago market price, it gives an idea of
what Canadians think of Chicago roses.
Cardinal brought $6 a dozen.

The K. F. Winterson Co. had large re-
ceipts of white and pink chysanthemums
for Christmas. Quality being fair, good
prices were realized.

Zech & Mann report receiving a Christ-
mas present December 21 in the shape of
a new rose grower, who began shipping
that day without the formality of pre-
vious arrangement.

Cliflford Pruner, who has been o« the
sick list since the flowor show, was able
to take part in the holiday rush at
Hunt's. He will go on the road again
early in the new year.

W. H. Hilton acknowledges that his
affection is for horses rather thau for
flowers and will sell his flower stjre if
he can.

Harry Rowe had the writing-room at
the Palmer house as an annex for the
Christmas business, the same as he had
it Easter.

Frederick Sperry, of Vaughan & Sper-
ry, says he looks for a steady improve-
ment in business after January 1, re-
ferring particularly to general trade and
its natural effect upon the cut flower
market.

The Fleischman store on Jackson bou-
levard is said to use more violets than
any other store at Christmas and Easter.
For December 24 they ordered 45,000, di-
viding the business between several
houses.

One of the visitors last week was V. C.
Bice, of Rice Bros., Minneapolis.

E. C. .\mling had the first Trumpet

Major narcissi seen in this jnarket. They
arrived December 20.

£. B. Washburn is at home from Madi-
son, and helping out at Bassett & Wash-
burn's during the holiday rush.

Weiland & Risch say they missed their
heaviest crop of Killarney for Christ-
mas, but will have it for New Year's.

The A. L. Randall Co. reports excel-
lent satisfaction with the Christmas busi-
ness in supplies. Sales exceeded expecta-
tions and all Christmas specialties were
cleared out except a few paper bells and
some immortelle wreaths.

Philip Schupp, at J. A. Budloug's,
says the Christmas business was in every
way satisfactory except that some special
lines of stock did not ecjual require-
ments.

Joseph Foer'ster has completely
changed his notion about Killarney. T^ast
year he thought little of it, but this
season it was the best thing George Rein-
berg had at Christmas. The Benthey-
Coatsworth Co., too, says Killarney was
the loading item this week.

J. J. Kruchten is figuring on a large
crop of carnations from his father's
greenhouses during January.

Wietor Bros, say that the chrysanthe-
mum season, which practically ended with
Thanksgiving, while not as good' as last
year, was still entirely satisfactory. Their
Christmas business was helped out by a
big cut of fancy carnations.

C. W. McKellar is handling cyclamen
plants again this season and says they
sell well.

The committee of the Florists' Club
appointed to handle the rose meeting
had a session December 21 and delegated
the various parts of the work of

preparation to the se\eral members of
the committee. George Asmus was dele-
gated to hunt for a hall.

Dodd's Floral Co., not incorporated,
opened a flower store at 1047 East Sixty-
first street early this month.

P. J. Demas, proprietor of the Pitts-
burg Florists' Exchange, was in the city
December 21 and 22 looking for stock.

Holly has sold for $7 per ei^ate and
upward. Green was abundant and the
market closed at the lowest.

Alonzo Wygant, general superintend-
ent for the United States Express Co;,
and well known to wholesale florists, died
December 23. The funeral December 26
will be a big one and call for many flow-
ers, for Mr. Wygant was widely con-
nected in the business world and a mem-
ber of many clubs and lodges. He was
71 years of age.*

Lily of the valley has been slow sale
for several weeks.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Last week business was rather quiet.
As usual, just before Christmas there was
little society work going on; a few small
weddings and dinners and a good deal of
funeral work is about all that can be re-
ported for the week. Some of the large
establishments report a great many ad-
vance orders and plant sales have been
quite satisfactory. Baskets filled with
plants are being more generally offered
than last year.

The cut flower market is a hard propo-
sition to solve at the present writing

(December 23), as little stock of any one
variety ia coming in and the commission
men will only take advance orders on the
basis of "If they come in we will fill
your orders," and all are looking for a
scarcity in roses, carnations and violets,
with greatly advanced prices. They ex-
pect the usual supply of bulb stock,
which is generally large for the holidays.
Last week all the commission men cleaned
up every day, as little came in. All stock
is of extra good quality. Holly is scarce,
selling in some instances at $14 per case
for extra select.

Various Notes.

J. Bruns, of Pacific, Mo., was a caller
last week, buying holiday supplies.

C. Young & Sons Co. has an artistic
outdoor decoration of laurel. This, with
the artistic window decorations, attragjtj
a great deal of attention.

The club's committee on the pottery
question was to have met December 19,
at Kuehn's, but owing to the busy sea-
son Chairman Sanders will call a meeting
after New Year's, when more time can
be taken and the members of the commit-
tee are not so busy.

W. C. Smith & Co. are receiving some
extra fine bulbous stock, which includes
lily of the valley, Romans, Paper Whites
and callas. A fine lot of Californian vio-
lets are also seen here daily from their
Kirkwood consignors.

Pierre Schneider, of Kirkwood, is send-
ing to Kuehn's some of the finest En-
chantress carnations that come to this
market. This consignment is sold clean
each day to one of the west end florists.

Fred H. Weber's Boyle and Maryland

avenue place is filled with the finest of
everything in the blooming plant line. lie
is in the heart of the fashionable district
and expects a large holiday business.

Ludwig Zimmer, the Biddle market flo-
rist, reports that he has disposed of a
great deal of green end holly. He has an
attractive window decoration.

Arthur Ellison is home for the holi-
ilays. He will come in handy to help the
Ellison Floral Co. during the Christmas
rush. He will return after New Year's.

F. H. Meinhardt and the Koenig Flo-
ral Co., who are opposite the large ceme-
teries, have been kept busy with cemetery
decorations, which consist of grave cov-
ers, wreathing, holly and green wreaths.

The window of the Riessen Floral Co.
is one of the attractions on Broadway.
A great many advance orders have been
placed and they expect their usual rush.

The Bentzen Floral Co., on North
Grand avenue, is making great prepara-
tions to supply the large retail trade. A
specialty is made of fine blooming
plants.

The first Florists' Club meeting in the
New Year will take place Thursday aft-
ernoon, January 9, at two o'clock. Presi-
dent W. C. Young reports that the trus-
tees are preparing something interesting
for the members. A general discussion
will take place on the holiday trade. This
should interest retailer, wholesaler and
the grower. Secretary Bentzen will send
out special invitations to all in the trade.
A large attendance is expected.

Adolph Goldenberg, representing R. M.
Ward & Co., New York, was a visitor.

BOSTON.

The Market

The woek before Christmas .saw the
usual curtailment in flower receipts. De-
mand was light, with prices considerably
higher, especially on carnations and vio-
lets. Christmas week opened with.heavier
supplies and a firm tone to the market.
Whether prices will remain stiff until
Tuesday evening is problematical; on
Monday, a slump in some lines seems
probable. There is a good demand, far
better than we could have hoped for a
month ago, but it hardly promises to
equal last year's record. The compara-
tively clear skies and absence of severe
cold has been favorable to a large cut of
flowers and no shortage of any varieties
seems likely.

Roses are of fine quality. Beauty is of
exceptional excellence. Bride and Maid *
were never better. Richmond and Kil-
larney are splendid. Wcllcsley, Chatenay
and other sorts are all good. Some nice
blooms of Safrano, an old-time favorite,
are also seen. Carnations are rather ag-
gressive, as usual. For a week past .$(>
per hundred has been realized by all good
flowers, some bringing higher rates. Vio-
lets are making $1 to $1.50 per hundred,
but may be lower before Christmas. There
is a fair supply of valley, callas and
lilies, both Harrisii,and speciosum. Paper
White narcissi and Roman hyacinths are
plentiful. Yellow daffodils of the French
Trumpet Major type are arriving in fair
quantity, also tulips from one or two
growers. Poinsettias seem to be moro
plentiful than u.sual, at prices ranging
from $2 to $6 per dozen bracts. A little

Peirce Bros, have a big lot of Hexe
azaleas just right for Christmas, also a
dwarf double pink named Petrick. They
have some nice Lilium auratum from
cold storage bulbs.

Houghton & Clark are showing a fine
lot of Otaheite oranges, Lorraine bego-
nias, azaleas and ardisias.

H. M. Robinson & Co. say that trade
in wreaths and other decorative greenery
has surprised them. They feared dimin-
ished demand but it proved heavier
than a year ago. They had some fine
cattle yas and gardenias among choice
flowers.

Henry Penn is mourning the death of
his sister, which occurred December 20.

A. Roper's new seedling striped carna-
tion, Bay State, has been making top
price at the Music Hall niarket.

William Spillsbury and A. T. Kidder,
as usual, have had some Princess of
Wales violets which it would be hard to
duplicate.

Thomas Roland had an excellent plant
trade and is well cleaned out of all sala-
ble stock,

William Walke, of Salem, noted as a
grower of poinsettias and Lorraine be-
gonias, had a splendid lot of Lilium Har-
risii just nght for Christmas.

Among the earliest bulb specialists to
market yellow Trumpet daflfodils were E.
Sutermeistef, Frank T. White, Mann
Bros, and William Patterson, of Wol-
laston.

T. F. Galvin had a fine stock of ardi-
sias and poinsettias. One window was
devoted to camellias.

The late W. W. Edgar was one of a
well known quartette of growers who
came over the ocean about the same time,
including Thomas Cox, F. R. Mathieson

fancy.

Thomas H. Westwood, president of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club, is among
the latest victims of the grip.

William Sim had his usual immense
stock of high quality single violets for
Christmas supplemented by a fine lot of
sweet peas.

No finer Bride and Bridesmaid roses
ever came into the Boston market than
W. H. Elliott is now sending from his
Brighton establishment.

Parquhar & Co. have a batch of several
hundred seedling lilies, longiflorum x
Philippense, many of which are showing
flower buds. Their effort is to secure a
larger bulb than L. Philippense produces
and at the same time get a lily which can
be forced into bloom much quicker than
L. longiflorum or Harrisii.

F. J. Dolansky, of Lynn, has made a
specialty of ardisias for the Christmas
trade. Mr. Dolansky is a noted grower

of sweet peas. His stock is handled at
Park Street market by J. F. Free.

Welch Bros, have handled an enormous
quantity of decorative material the last
fortnight.

President Westwood has appointed Ed-
ward Hatch, W. J. Stewart and P. Welch
a committee on resolutions on the death
of William W. Edgar.

W. B. Goodenow and Thomas Peglar
have some of the finest double violets
seen in our market for Christmas.

NEW YORK.

The Market

Christmas is in the air, and all that
the word implies of good cheer, op-
timism and generosity. All last week
and Sunday we have had in New York
a bra'nd of weather that would make a
Californian envious; sunshine in abun-
dance, Sunday like a day in June. This
should overcome somewhat the light
Christmas supply of cut flowers which
has been feared for several days and
which, judging by the steadiness and
gradual advance of the last of the week,
means higher rates than had been an-
ticipated. The fact is, stock is scarce.
Pickling or no pickling, there will not
be enough to go around and, moreover,
the financial situation is clearer, the
money pulse is beating stronger and
the people are spending money again.
On Saturday streets and stores in retail
New York were blocked with the mul-

titudes of Christmas shoppers and few
were without holly and wreaths and
many other evidences of the florists'
prosperity. Many of the luxury mer-
chants have suffered, especially the jew-
elers, but the florists seem to have ben-
efited by the economy of the wealthy,
and plants and flowers have taken the
place of diamonds and pearls, as accept-
able gifts to friends and loved ones. So
we now anticipate a merry and success-
ful Christmas for all. A continuation of
good weather will assure it.

The plantsmen are already out of the
woods and every plant worth while in
the greenhouses of the expert growers
of this vicinity has been sold and de-
livered. Every good plant within a ra-
dius of thirty miles will be used by the
New York market or shipped to other
cities. There have been many buyers
here lately, making their selections, the
swellest one of them all from the park
department of Detroit. Prices for per-
fect plants have been firmly held and at
quite as high a figure as a year ago, for
there has been no diminution in the ag-
gregate of sales. The varieties which
have sold most rapidly are Lorraines,
dracaenas, azaleas, oranges, ericas, poin-
settias and ardisias. Holly trees have
sold well and cyclamens and araucarias
have been especially attractive and well
grown. Of the popular nephrolepis
• ferns and decorative palms the sale has
been large and satisfactory. The plant
growers have no cause for discourage-
ment and now that they have effected a
harmonious and powerful organization,
there seems to be no good reason for
anything but progress and profit this
side of April 19.

Special Beauties sold at 40 cents De-
cember 21, and a few of them touched
SO cents. There is no doubt of 7^ cents
for Christmas and for the best T think
one may safely forecast .$1. All the
grades of Beauties and, in fact, of every
rose, sold fast and high. Scarcity rather
than heavy demand was given by the
wholesalers as the cause. Maids ad-
vanced to 12 cents and carnations to 6
cents, these figures of course being for
the selected.

Lilies were firm at 12 cents. Best val-
ley sold at from 5 cents down to 2
cents. Orchids were in good demand in
the city and out of it. There will not
be any orchids in wholesalers' ice-boxes
Christmas morning. There are some
grand gardenias in the market, selling
at 50 cents, and there are a lot as low
as 1.5 cents. You pay your money and
you take your choice. This fact now

applies to about everything sold by
the wholesalers. One has to have a
pretty good reputation and record to
secure credit, and the slow payers and
non-payers are rapidly becoming con-
verted to the new system, which has
been inaugurated by the wholesale cut
flower association.

There are still a few chrysanthemums
in the market. The growers plan to de-
liver the last of them Christmas morn-
ing. The Jap has had a lon^ and per-

Monday, December 23, brought a
heavy rain, but notwithstanding this
handicap, the retailers did an excellent
business and expect to be well cleaned
out. The weather turned cooler Mon-
day night and prospects are for an ex-
cellent clean-up everywhere.

Monday the prices for the best Beau-
ties were up to $75 per hundred; Maids
$20, carnations $10, violets $1; cut
flower shipments were light. The plant
market was lightly attended.

Various Notes.

The store of Traendly & Schenck was
burglarized Sunday night, Deceinber 22.
Entry was had through the cellar and
the cashier's desk was broken open. The
loss was only $10 in change.

Mrs. Scallen has taken over the store
at Broadway and Forty-second street,
formerly conducted as Scallen's and
sold out by the sheriff last week.

Herman Mende, of Secaucus, N. J.,
has been delivering from $50 to $100
worth of mums daily for some time,
which Fhil Kessler handles. The stork
celebrated at Mende 's last week and
left a young mum grower as a Christ-
mas memento a little ahead of time.

The Hatchet Club, of Newport, R. I.,
composed of the best of the gardening
aristocracy of that city of millionaires,
will have its annual banquet January
2 and the Eickards brothers will be
guests. They have a number of new
songs for the occasion.

The Starke Co. is the name of the
new plant and cut-flower firm, head-
quarters at 52 West Twenty-ninth
street, with William Starke as manager.

The sales of angelus and alpha bells
have been large this year. Their last-
ing quality especia'Hy commends thefti.
B. Rosens was the inventor.

About 5,000 cases of holly came to
New York this year. Sixty per cent of
it was unfit for sale. Twenty per cent
of it was good. This readily com-
manded $5 a case. A good deal sold
at $4 and the trash went off at $3 and
under. The worst of it was not worth
opening. The scarcity of good quality
holly became known in time to set a
lot of dishonest shippers at work and,
berries or no berries, all the holly in
sight was cut and sent to this market
and other markets. There will be a lot
of foxy grandpas next year who will
want to see the goods before they pur-
chase. Another goose that laid' golden
eggs has been killed.

The holly trees that were imported
sold fast. Stumpp & Walter Co. had a
fine stock of them. Mr. Walter has re-
covered from a severe attack of the
grip, which laid himself and family on
the shelf for two weeks.

Trepel's new store. The Blossom, has

farmers, I judge. Prices ranged from
75 cents a single bundle to $25 for a
single tree. A florist on East Thirty-
fourth street near Fifth avenue was the
buyer of the gidnt, and a good many
trees from $15 each down to $5 were
purchased by the florists for church and
hall decoration.

No pen can paint the beauty, variety
and gorgeousness of coloring in the win-
dows of the retail florists of New York
this week, especially on Monday, before
the real rush began and the selected
plants were put away. Never have such
brilliant decorations been seen. To par-
ticularize would mean the naming of
every retailer in New York. In many
a window was illustrated artistic indi-
viduality that I have never seen ex-
celled.

Mr. Nash, of Moore, Hentz & Nash,
with his family, is spending his Christ-
mas holiday at Glen Cove, L. I.

Joseph Fenrich is handling superb
valley from Schultheis, as usual.

Charles Millang's conservatory was
crowded all the week with blooming
plants of every kind that were going
out as last as they came in. Some
especially fine poinsettias and begonias
were among them.

J. K. Allen 's sale of poinsettia plants
was quite satisfactory. As usual at
Christmas, his display of thirty va-
rieties of carnations attracted much at-
tention.

Out of town shipments by all the
wholesalers were larger than expected.

Samuel A. Woodrow worked day and
night for a week with a large force of
helpers, shipping plants to Boston and
many other Now England cities.

All the wholesale cut flower houses
made merry the night before Christ-
mas.

The year in its entirety has left no
oause for pessimism. The success, in

the aggregate, has shown enlargement
and profitable progress. The future is
bright with possibilities and accomplish-
ments. J. Austin Shaw.

SAN FRANOSCXD.

The Market

The continued rainy weather has put
a small damper on the transient trade of
the retailers, but regular customers were
buying much better last week than for
some time. There is an abundance of
all kinds of stock and prices have not
yet commenced to inflate, although we
are within one week of Christmas.

There is the usual scarcity of fancy
roses, especially Beauties, but of every-
thing else there seems to be enough and
to spare. Violets are a glut and de-
spite the nearness of the holidays the
price has decreased twenty-five per cent
during the last two weeks. For the first
time in the history of local conditions
there has been an abundance of poin-
settias, and they are of better quality
than ever before seen here. The Japan-
ese growers have gone heavily into this
end of the business this season and, al-
though they have produced a large quan-
tity of stock, the quality has not been
first-class. The finest lot seen in the
local market has been from the nurseries
of Hutchins & James, of Elmhurst.

Carnations will, from all appearances,
be in ample supply for the holidays and
the quality is first-class throughout. The
growers have not raised the prices, but
we can look for a slight advance in a
day or two.

Valley has been moving slowly and is
not used to any extent, apparently, ex-
cept in funeral work. Roman hyacinths
are in the same position and the demand
for these also is light. Green goods of

all kinds are among the best selling arti-
cles at this time and together with red-
wood and garland and smilax have done
much to swell the receipts of many re-
tailers.

Various Notes.

H. M. Sanborn, of Berkeley, leased a
large lot adjoining his Telegraph ave-
Que store for the Christmas holiday
trade.

The Young American Florists, now
situated on Mission street, near Twenty-
sixth, report a heavy demand for all
classes of holiday goods. They have oile
of the largest stores in the Mission.

D. H. Maggart, formerly connected
with the Capital Nurseries, of Salem,
Ore., has gone into business at Elmhurst,
Cal.

A. Rolleri has opened a store on Sev-
enth street, near the corner of Clay, in
Oakland.

James Skinner, the Christmas tree man,
has handled over 10,000 trees up to the
present writing this season and expects
several car loads from Oregon within
the next few days.

Charles Stappenbaeh reports a record-
breaking holiday trade along all lines.
His store is one of the centers of attrac-
tion on Polk street.

ney, of Irvington, will be found in the

♦'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 thiff 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.

I TAKE the Review for the retail mat-
ter that is in it, including the advertise-
ments, and get lots of help from them.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Risui£ Eastern Market.

The dark weather of the last week had
its eflPect on the supply of all cut flowers,
but more so on roses and carnations,
which by the end of last week were bring-
ing excellent prices, almost equal to those
of last year. Our old standby, Brides-
maid, in the better grades is scarce, but,
with Eallamey and Chatenay to help out,
the shortage is not badly felt. The sup-
ply of Beauties has shortened considera-
bly and they have doubled in price, with
a firm belief that they will bring $10 to
$12 per dozen for selected stock before
Christmas is over. Some of the large
growers who have cut heavily in the last
few weeks report a scarcity in good
medium and long Beauties.

Red roses are in great demand. One
grower alone, in one day 's shipment, sent
over 1,000, which found ready sale.

Carnations are still scarce. The sup-
ply fell off decidedly in the last week,
du6 mostly to the growers holding up
their stock, and to the cloudy weather.
: Cattleyas and cypripediums are in good
demand, the shipments to out-of-town
customers heavy. Valley is selling well,
while good mignonette and Easter lilies
find ready purchasers.

Bomans and Paper Whites are a glut
and sell at any price. Violets, double and
single, are holding their own and with
good weather will be fine for the holi-
days.

The stores plunged in plants for Christ-
mas, such as poinsettias, Scotch heather,
etc., which when made up in baskets find
ready sale.

The most beantiful as well as the most useful FcrD ever offered.

It is suitable both for specimen pot plants and for using as a cut ^ ;,

Gardenias.

Alexander B. Scott was standing in
the middle of a beautiful gardenia house
that sunny afternoon. "This house is
just a little better than I had them this
time last year," Mr. Scott said, "while
this other house next door is just as good
as I had them then." Mr. Scott's gar-
denias last year were the best in the
country; the apparent difference between
the houses lay in a slight difference in
the profusion of buds and in the greater
length of stem. The house conditions
were most favorable, a high temperature
with air, while the soil had evidently
been as an old grower loved to describe
it, "joos soaked," the foliage and buds
being perfect throughout.

Among the Retailers.

All the leading flower shops in the city
have made their windows and stores most
attractive for the holiday season. As is
usually the case, red and green predomi-
nate and are conspicuous in the displays.
Although a week or so ago it seemed as
though, owing to the financial troubles

of the last few months, the Christmas de-
mand would not be as great as in pre-
vious years, this has not proven so, as
the demand for cut flowers is quite as
large as it was a year ago, while the
demand for growing plants is even
greater.

H. H. Battles has a number of pretty
shaded camellias growing in pots in his
window, and these attract the eyes of
many passers-by. He also has great quan-
tities of especially fine single violets and
large mignonette, and orchids of fine
quality. Mr. Battles states that Easter
lilies and azaleas are in great demand.

J. J. Habermehl's Sons have, in addi-
tion to the fine display in their store and
window, a large display in one of the main
halls of the Bellevue-Stratford, and have
decorated the dining-rooms and palm-
room with pretty hanging bstskets, filled
with growing poinsettias. With the pos-
sible exception of mistletoe and holly,
nothing seems more appropriate for
Christmas decoration. Their window is
especially attractive, being one mass of
Lorraine begonias, some growing, some

tastefully arranged in baskets, the light
pink of the flowers giving a particularly
delicate effect.

Joseph Kift says that this is quite as
good a Christmas as he has known, but
he is unfortunate in having two of his
trusted employees away. He has a fine
display of poinsettias, and has a novelty
in the shape of a number of pots filled
with growing mushrooms, large and well
formed.

Many and various sized Kriss Kringles
catch the eye among the decorations at
the store of Pennock Bros. Their window
is full of them, some with packs on their
backs, others carrying their packs in
their hands in the form of baskets, and
in some cases the little figures are carry-
ing watering pots. They were brought
from Antwerp, Germany, to look out from
Pennock Bros. ' window, and make a very
pretty display, as the packs, basket and

watering pots are filled with either grow-
ing or cut flowers appropriate to the
season. The idea is quite a novel one,
as the figure can be used as well for
a vase as for a flower pot.

Charles Fox has the Sign of the Rose
in even more festive garb than usual at
this season of the year. In fact, this
attractive shop has never looked better.

The general air of prosperity and the
busy signs in and around the various
shops surely bespeak a good winter, and
even though the season did start late.
Lent does not start until March 4; so
the season should average well when com-
pared with its predecessors.

Variotts Notes.

Mark Mills, who was reported ill, was
back for the Christmas rush.

M. Rice & Co. report that their busi-
ness for the year 1907 was far ahead of
any year in their history. Their contin-

ued growth is the result of carefully
looking after every detail of their busi-
ness.

The retail stores have doubled their
forces for the holidays.

Charles Grakelow, the enterprising up-
town florist, is sending out an attractive
calendar.

Robert Montgomery, of Natick, Mass., .
is serving his apprenticeship in the seed
house of Henry A. Dreer. Mr. Mont-
gomery, who is a nephew of Alexander
Montgomery, of Waban Conservatories,
is working in the city warehouse and
boarding at the Riverton Nurseries.

A visitor to the Florists' Club said
that he at once recognized Godfrey Asch-
mann from his published photographs.
There was, however, something wrong; it
finally came to him that he had no arau-
carias in his hand.

H. F. Michell Co. reports the sale of
green good* as extra heavy.

Eugene Bernheimer is receiving some
good Beacon, the new red carnation.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. had a new lot
of stock, such as birch bark baskets, sea
moss and cycas leaves, which arrived on
the steamer Andalusia. It was all dis-
posed of before reaching their store.

Berger Bros, are doing a large busi-
ness in holly and holly wreaths.

The store of the Pennock-Meehan Co.
might have been mistaken for a beehive

The Leo Niessen Co. has been pushing
steadily forward since becoming settled
in its new building and the result of the
increased facilities was more apparent

The Weekly Rorists' Review*

DECS5MBEB 26, 1907.

DOOM OF THE BIG TOMATO.

The big tomato has had its day, and its
fate has been settled by that voice which
decides what shall and shall not be in
most matters of public interest, i. e,,
public opinion. When the man in the
street first cultivated his palate up to a
point of liking tomatoes, growers set out
to provide him with big fruits, which
went all right for a time. The new
varieties of a few years ago were char-
acterized by the size of their fruit, and
there is no telling what pitch we should
have got to by now if things had gone
on, but the consumer put the veto on big
tomatoes, and they have gone under.
Perhaps he admired the monsters when
seen on the show board, but when he
went to the shop for a pound of toma-
toes he didn't want a single fruit, but
about four, and market growers soon be-
gan to realize this.

Exhibitors have followed in the same
line, and today one rarely sees monstrous
fruits staged, and- if they are they are
generally passed over for medium-sized
specimens, for judges, as a rule, have
got to treat tomatoes on the show board
from a utility point of view.

Again, the cook has had something to
do with the triumph of the medium-sized
tomato. She plainly indicated to the
gardener that he could keep his big
fruits to show, or do what he liked
with them, but she wouldn't have them,
and now the four or five to the pound
variety rules supreme in the private gar-
den, as it does in the market establish-
ment. Baisers, too, have come into line,
and the tomatoes of recent introduction
which are now popular are varieties
which bear large clusters of medium-
sized fruits, that are bright in color, and
are not given to cracking. Doubtless we
shall have more new varieties as time
goes on, but unless they favor the above
description, and are heavy croppers, they
will stand a poor chance, for in the to-
mato world today quantity with quality
is demanded, rather than individual size.

White Globe onion seed is already
marked "sold out" in the incoming
offers.

The favorite stocks of market garden-
ers in the carrot line are exceedingly
scarce.

Some heretofore hidden lots of seeds
of the flat varieties of onions are being
discovered.

The Henderson catalogue is out and
one of the handsomest books the house
has sent out.

The prices of seeds arc going to vary
a good deal, judging from the rctaU
catalogues so far received.

Onion sets arc reported to be shrink-
ing heavily, a dry rot in the whites, and
a wet rot in the reds and yellows being
accountable for it.

Posted dealers are of the opinion that
$6 per bushel for Evergreen and $7 for
Country Gentleman is about all that any
purchaser will stand at present.

Labqe quantities of German grass and
clover seeds are still arriving ^ this
country, the last boat from Hamburg
having landed 1,700 bags of clover seeds
and 519 packages of grass seeds.

Valley pips promise to be equal to all
requirements of the trade in 1908, large
lots still arriving. The fast new steamer.
President Grant, from Hamburg, reach-
ing New York December 20, brought 644
cases of pips, as follows: H. F. Diarrow,

be 80 limited that their orders will not
tax the supply.

It is reported that seed of Phoenix
Eoebelenii is scarce.

The W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, haa
five catalogues "on the fire" at present.

The seed advertising in the general
magazines for January is lighter than
usual.

Henet F. Michell, Philadelphia, was
elected, December 17, one of the vice-
presidents of the Pennsylvania Horticul-
tural Society.

Is it not a little bit curious, when you
stop to think about it, that the seed
catalogues go out almost on the day that
winter begins?

Some of the newer standard varieties
of bettns that have heretofore sold at
high prices will be surprisingly low in
the coming lists, it is said.

The preliminary price lists of repre-
sentative wholesale seed dealers are out
and there are no startling features,
either as to prices or otherwise.

The southern editions of the seed cata-
logues are now in full flight, to apprise
the planters down in Dixie that the joy-
ous holiday season is at hand once more.

It seems pretty well-established that
where a seedsman employs the Seed
Trade Association's non-warranty he is
protected from liability for unsatisfac-
tory crops.

The United States Department of
Afiriculture haa issued its final estimate
of the 1907 crops, showing the farm
value of the corn crop to have been
$1,340,446,000.

Seedsmen will be able to place their
hands quickly upon much valuable in-
formation by adding the Garden and
Farm Almanac for 1908 to their trade
libraries, and any planter will get 25
cents' worth from the almanac, so that
it may well be added to the list of pub-
lications carried in many catalogues.

Referrikg to the increased cost of
catalogues this year, particularly in the
cost of paper and press work, one whole-
sale and retail seedsman says: "We ex-
pect the. trade and the public to stand
for higher prices for seeds this year, so
why should we kick on the cost of paper?
All we want to know is that others are
being charged the same advance."

"Integrity of stocks" is a card that
yet seems to cut a figure in assisting
seedsmen to get a double price for the
seeds they offer, at any rate some houses
seem to thrive mightily by printing
prices m their catalogue that if placed
m others would cause a complete frost
If the purchaser will pay double for an
article because it is offered by a special-
ist, it would seem then that it pays to
be in the specialist class, if you can.

NATIONAL SWEET PEA SOCIETY

The annual meeting of the National
Sweet Pea Society of England was held
m London, December 6. Leonard G.
Sutton, F. R. H. S., of the firm of Sut-
ton & Sons, at Beading, presided. The
annual report showed a record of a
splendid year of work and increasing
suecesa. At the annual show there were
more exhibitors, more exhibits and more
visitors than in 1906. The committee re-
ports that one of the most pleasing and

interesting features of the year was the
visit of W. Atlee Burpee, of Philadel-
phia, with his wife and family. Mr.
Burpee visited most of the leading sweet
pea growers in the United Kingdom. He
was keenly interested in the splendid
London show, which surprised him; and
he was impressed by the extent and im-
portance of the society's trials. As evi-
dence of the pleasure he experienced
among us, he has presented the society
with a fine fifteen guinea challenge cup.
The society's trials are recognized by
all as one of the most important and
most valuable services rendered by any
society to floriculture, and traders in the
United States, in New Zealand and on
the continent of Europe have frequently
testified to their value. Three hundred
and fifty rows were on trial last sum-
mer, and, in addition to giving awards to
meritorious varieties, the floral commit-
tee did excellent work by drawing up a

list of "too-much-alike" varieties, by
recommending certain varieties as the
best in their respective color classes, and
by preparing a list of those old and in-
ferior varieties which it is unnecessary
to test further in the trials.

Next year's show will be held in Lon-
don, July 24, and in connection with the
Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland
a show will be held in Dublin, August 5.

Wm. Cuthbertson, J. P., of the firm
of Dobbie & Co., Rothesay, Scotland,
was unanimously elected, on the motion
of S. B. Dicks, of Cooper, Taber & Co.,
London, to the oflSco of president. He
has long been closely identified with
sweet peas and everything pertaining
to them. In conjunction with the
late Richard Dean, he promoted the
exhibition of the sweet pea at the
bicentenary celebration in 1900. His
firm has introduced a number of merit-
orious varieties and this year received

offered this season is a foregqne conclu-
sion, says a specialist writing to the
HorticiiUtural Advertiser, Clara Curtis
and (Prea,m Spencer axe pretty sure to
be al^e. - I have grown the latter, and
have geen the former growing, but could
not compare^ blooms. Constance Oliverj
Nell 0wynn,p, Evelyn Hemus, Vera, Jef-
fery and Oar Queen will ijin the creamy
pink (Shade closely, although the last
named- is probably the richest of the lot.

Th^, I guess, we shall have a bother
with the two varieties named Purity.
Bolton's Purity is closely akin to Etta
Dyke and White Spencer. Lumley's
Purity is said to be an advance on
Dorothy Eckford. Then we have Lorna
Doone, Bobby K, and Princess Victoria
running the blush shade. Beauty comes
under this tint also, but it is unknown
to me. It shows a buff pink tint.

The amazing rush of white sorts in re-
cent years has been noticeable to every
one. Four were sent out last year. This
year we have the three Spencers —
Purity, White Spencer and Etta Dyke,
— one plain sort in Finetta Bathurst,
one hooded in Purity, and Acme faintly
tinted. In deep pinks we have an in-
flux again — M. A. Linzee, Audrey Crier,
and Horace Skipper, all Spencers.

Silver Wings will prove a pretty sort
for daylight, but under artificial light it
will look white, or nearly so. Maggie
Stark reminds me of Coles' Earl
Spencer, a formidable rival to St.
George. The American Florence Morse
(Spencer) may prove to be Elsie Her-
bert.

POSTAL PROGRESS.

The committee on postal affairs of the
American Seed Trade Association has
Hot pushed very haM thip season; still,
yfe have been corresponding with the
various parties trying to secure the adop-
tion of favorable legislation both in-re-
;gard to the mailing of catalogues at a
^bulk weight and on parcels post, both
foreign and domestic. From the dis-
cussion at the last Seed Trade conven-
tion, I did not think that the association
was ready to undertake a vigorous cdm- '
paign this year on these subjects, as of
course. i^ will require the expenditure of
aome^ftioney and considerable time to
push them forward to^^a successful issye.

You will notice that we have changed the
wording quite a little from previous bills,
so that it now applies to seeds and other
third-class matter, as well as to cata-
logues. While I know that by far the
larger portion of such bills die in the
committee-room, without even being dis-
cussed on the floor of the House, still this
matter is of such interest and would be
of such great benefit to the postoflSce de-
partment, as well as to all publishers and
dealers who do a large amount of busi-
ness through the mails, that I think it
should be looked upon favorably by the
committee on postal affairs in the House
and secure their approval. We are doing
what we can by correspondence to push
the work forward.

NOVELTIES FOR 1908

Godetia Dwarf Compact

Crimson Glow

(Oar Own Raiaing.)

This splendid new Godetia will be eagerly sought
after when once known. It forms a compact little
bush about 9 Inches in height, completely smothered
with flowers of the most dazzling, intense crimson. A
bed of this variety produces a vivid effect, the in-
tensity of which it is impossible to describe. To be
fully appreciated it must be seen growing.

The color of Crimson Olow is many shades deeper,
more vivid and intense, and quite as compact in
habit as Sunset, which we introduced three years ago.

$15.00 per 100 pkts. $2.00 per doz.

(25 cents retail.) (See Colored Plate.)

Cschscholtzia Crecta Compacta

DAINTY QUEEN

We have the greatest pleasure in being able to in-
ti'oduce this exquisite new color in Eschscholtzias.
It is so delicate and striking that we are certain it
will excite universal admiration, and become one of
the greatest favorites of this charming race of our
new improved compact Californian Poppies. It is al-
most impossible to adequately describe its soft and
delicate shade of color.

The color is a tender blush or pale coral pink,
slightly deeper toward the edges, with a groundwork
of delicate cream, and like Intus Bosea, which we in-
troduced in 1905, is quite the same color inside the
flower as outside, so that the effect in color is the
same when the flower is open as when closed, which
is quite unusual in all ether Eschscholtzias.

$15.00 per 100 pkts. $2.00 per doz.

(2fe cents retail.) (See Colored Plate.)

PEA, THE PILOT (Re-selected)

We have no hesitation in saying that of all the Peas introduced for many years past, there has not been one
to equal the PILOT in merit or usefulness. Unfortunately when this Pea was first introduced it was not per-
fectly fixed. However, even in its unfixed state it was considered the best early hardy Pea, but it showed too
much variation. Ever since it was first brought out we have been carefully selecting it, and have at length
succeeded in obtaining what we consider a really first-class stock, which we have now pleasure in offering.

We are quite sure that eventually this now re-selected variety will take the place of Bountiful and Ameer, as
it is practically as early as Eclipse-and as hardy, while it possesses a pod of the Gradus type.

We have but a limited quantity of this fine stock to dispose of. $18.00 per 100 lbs.

OUR RECENT NOVELTIES

••laotsd and Introdnoed by us durlnc tta* last on* or two years are certainly amonK the most tlzed and dlstlnot of

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum) Queen of Tom Thiunb. The
elegant and distinct new race of variegated
leaved sorts which we were the originators of and

Queen Hybrids.

Sweet Peas. In these we have introduced the last
year or two some of the very finest large flowered
varieties, and certainly the most fixed, viz.:
Gladys Unwin, Phyllis Unwin, Evelyn Byatt; Nora
Unwin, today the finest and purest white. Mrs.

CALIFORNIA ONION SEED.

''Some months ago we had occasion
to make observations on the rather ex-
aggerated claims made for California
grown seeds," says W. Van Fleet, in
the Rural New Yorker. "That the pe-
culiar climate favors abundant seed
production in many plants, and is also
especially favorable for seed harvest-
ing, is a commercial certainty. Cali-
fornia-grown seeds in certain varieties
now dominate the market, and are used
with a fair degree of satisfaction, but
evidence of occasional deterioration is
not lacking. Sweet pea and onion
seeds from California come in for more
than usual criticism. They are doubt-
less grown with care and every effort
made to keep them true to type, but
they fail to measure up to the reason-
able expectations of the buyers. The
idea is that excessive seed production
may lessen vitality of individual seeds,
and the long and featureless growing
season may diminish the inherited tend-
ency of plants, native to regions where
summer and winter are sharply defined,
to perfect the portions desired by the
grower, such as the bulb in the onion
and the bloom in the sweet peas. As seed
production is mainly a matter of econom-
ics, seeds being naturally grown where
they can be most abundantly and cheap-
ly produced and the deterioration not
particularly evident in a single genera-
tion, it has been suggested that the
stock plants be grown where the nec-
essary seasonal conditions obtain and
the product then used m California to
grow the seed crop. The need for
this * revitalization ' has been denied
by Pacific coast growers and horticul-

tural journals, but that it is practiced
by observing seed producers is made
plain by this clipping from a Colorado
farm paper:

The California seed growers who contracted
for 110 acres of seed stock in the Greeley dis-
trict are disappointed in the crop, for they are
not securing more than half a yield. These
onions were contracted to be grown at 70 cents
per 100, and it was thought that 30,000 sacks
would result, but the attacks of lice cut the crop
short. As fast as the onions are harvested they
are shipped to the coast, where they will be
replanted for the production of seed. The best
yield yet reported was five acres from wlilch an
average of 300 sacks an acre were taken.

"Better results would doubtless be
had by coming to the Atlantic coast,
where our commercial onion varieties
have been largely developed, and where
the most careful efforts to perfect the
types are still made, but the climate
of northern Colorado furnishes seasons
far more clearly cut than California.
Sweet pea stock seeds for California
planting are to some extent grown ;n
New York and New England. The
practice is quite certain to extend, as
western seed-growing problems are fur-
ther elaborated. Lima beans, nastur-
tiums, petunias and a host of tropical
and semi-tropical varieties, however,
seem entirely at home in that land of
abundant sunshine, and may be expect-
ed to improve steadily under the foster-
ing care of their growers."

Dr. Van Fleet seems wholly to have
lost sight of the fact that the pur-
pose of the Califomian growers in con-
tracting for the crop at Greeley, Colo.,
was the prime necessity for replenish-
ing their stocks of bulbs, the quantity
available for planting for seeds in the
Santa Clara valley having fallen below
their needs. We doubt if the Cali-
fomian growers will admit any thought
of necessity for * ' revitalization " in
their stocks by using Colorado bulbs.

BOLGIANCyS DISCLAIMER STICKS.

In the matter of the non-warranty suit
won December 12 by J. Bolgiano & Son,
Baltimore, the New York Commercial
says: "The Bolgianos advanced two con-
tentions. One was that the seed had not
been planted in land favorable to its
development. The other was that in any
circumstances they were not responsible
for the failure of seed. This latter
ground was taken in view of a disclaimer
of responsibility which they averred was
distinctly printed on seed packages, bill
heads and in their catalogues.

' ' Some years ago, it is stated, the seeds-
men of the United States, anticipating
trouble through the failure of seed sold
by one or another of them, employed the
best legal talent available to provide a
method of avoiding damages in just such
cases. The advice of the lawyers was
that a disclaimer of responsibility be

given as wide publicity as possible by the
seedsmen. This has been done, accord-
ingly, since that time and the Bolgianos
oflFered their catalogues, etc., in evidence
to show that they had adhered to this
course. They also presented catalogues
of more than 100 seed firms of this coun-
try and Europe showing that with only
one exception the disclaimer was availed
of by all of them."

The suit was over the failure of a
pound of pepper seed, costing $2.45, to
produce satisfactory results. The plain-
tiflfs, Winfield & Leggett, asked damages
in the siun of $3,600. The case occupied
the attention of the court for two weeks,
involved the hearing of sixty witnesses
and the reading of twenty-five deposi-
tions. It was stated by an attorney that
the suit cost in the neighborhood of
$5,000.

FOR HOTBEDS.

I have a good call for tomato and
oiher vegetable plants in the spring. At
what date should I sow seeds to grow
the plants in holbeds and have them
ready at planting time in Ohio? Any
suggestions will be welcome.

M. W. H.

Members of the brassica family, such
as cabbage and cauliflower, should be
sown about the first part of March to
give nice plants by setting out time, but
the more tender subject, such as toma-
toes, peppers, egg plants, etc., need not
be sown until about two weeks later, as
they cannot be set in the open ground
until the weather is warm and settled,
which is usually about the middle of
May, or later. W. S.

MILDEV ON LETTUCE.

Is there a remedy or preventive for
mildew on lettuce t Although I keep my
lettuce on the dry side, yet I lose a large
per cent of small plants in flats when
there are several cloudy, damp days to-
gether. D. F. E.

There must be something wrong with
the atmospheric conditions of your house.
Just what it is it would be hard for me
to say without seeing it, but lettuce at
that stage of growth is not subject to
the attacks of mildew in a house where
it has the proper temperature and suffi-
cient fresh air. A too high temperature
would cause a soft growth and leave it
an easy prey to this and kindred diseases
during dull, cloudy weather, but the more
probable cause is lack of proper airing.
A close atmosphere is congenisd, both for
the breeding and spreading of the spores
of fungi. Try to maintain a night tem-
perature not exceeding 45 degrees, with
60 degrees by day in bright weather, and
give air to sweeten the atmosphere on
all possible occasions. Keep the plants
fully exposed to the light to keep the
foliage firm and avoid crowding and I
do not think that you will have much
more trouble from mildew. P. R.

WORMS IN MUSHROOM BEDS.

Can you give me any information con-
cerning the small worm that attacks the
mushroom and spawn? It resembles the
worm found in decayed blood or bone
meal. R. E. P.

When this small worm is troublesome,
the larva is present either in the soil or
compost forming the bed, but as a rule

it seldom appears to any injurious extent
(luring the mnter months, or as long as
the temperature can bo kept compara-
tively cool; but as the season advances
the insects hatch out and begin their de-
structive work. Our experience is that
as long as the temperature of the mush-
room house can be kept as low as 55 de-
grees the worm gives little trouble, but
just as soon as we fail to keep the tem-
perature down to this figure it begins to
get down to business and the crop might
as well be given up for the season, as,
once it has got a footing, we have never
been able to find anything that will ex-
terminate it without injury to the mush-
room crop.

The mushrqom is delicate and easily
injured and will not stand experimenting
with, as other plants would. Anything
that could be applied strong enough to
kUl the worm would almost certainly
prove destructive to the crop. W. S.

PACIFIC COAST.

A DELAY in the mails throws the San
Francisco news-letter out of its usual
position this week. It will be found on
page 25.

Santa Ceuz, Cal. — J. P. Parker has
purchased an interest in the Leedham
Bulb Co. and has been elected vice-presi-
dent of the company.

SEATTLE.

State of Trade.

The outlook for the Christmas trade,
in spite of the depression in money
circles, is bright. Seattle seems to have
a little the best of the situation, with
so much Alaska gold coming in. People
are certainly crowding in here, and sta-
tistics taken from the records of arrivals
and departures at the Union depot show
that the city is growing at the rate of
4,000 to 6,000 people a month.

The Florists* Assodatloti.

The Seattle Florists' Association,
which has been practically dormant for
about twelve months, was shaken out
and restarted at a meeting held at the
store of Malmo & Co. on the first Tues-
day in November. The oflScers elected
for the ensuing year, and who have
pledged themselves to put new life into
the society and try to overcome the pro-
fessional jealousies existing, are: Presi-
dent, W. H. Thompson, superintendent
of the Seattle pubUc parks; vice-presi-
dent, C. Malmo; treasurer, J. J. Bon-
nell ; secretary, Frank Bathurst, comer
of Twenty-second avenue and Olive
street.

The meetings are to be held on the
first Tuesday in the month, at the Cham-
"ber of Commerce rooms. First avenue
and Cherry street.

It has been decided to change the
name of the club to the Seattle Florists'
Society, for a most peculiar reason. One
of our leading members said that on sev-
eral occasions people had come into his
place of business and made the remark
that the florists had got together and
formed an ■*< association," and that the
prices of flowers, etc., would be advanced
the same way as in other trusts and as-
sociations. It took time to explain away
this false impression; so a motion was
put in writing at the November meet-
ing and was passed at the December one,
changing the name to the Seattle Flo-
rists' ^ciety.

It was decided to hold a chrysanthe-
mum show next fall, and a committee

Various Notes.

The Washington Floral Co. will have
an excellent lot of stuff for Christmas.
A house with 1,500 poinsettias is just
right. This firm also has a nice lot of
made up pans of flowering and foliage
plants.

The amount of glass erected this last
summer is quite large, as the following
list will show: H. Harrington Co., seven
houses, 20x150 feet; Woodland Floral
Co., a block of houses 100x300 feet;
Jackson & Co., Brighton Beach, five
houses, 20x200; the Seattle Floral Co.,
two houses, with an elegant store and
showroom; G. Bjorkman, Fremont, one
liouse; G. Bell, Brighton Beach, two
houses. Several others have added glass
this season, whom I have not had the
time to visit.

Several new stores are open now. Mr.
Walz, late manager for the H. Harring-
ton Co., has opened an attractive store
in the Washington annex. Sam Graflf,
late of Chicago, has a store in the public
market. Pike Place. The Al-Ki Floral
Co. has a store on Cherry street, be-
tween First and Second avenues. Miss
W^inehill has a small store in the en-
trance to the Downs block, on Second
avenue, and the Bell Floral Co. a small
store at the entrance to the Savoy hotel,
on Second avenue. The Burdette Co.
has opened an uptown store at First

into flats when large enough to handle
and plant outdoors when frost danger is
gone, lifting and potting about the end
of August. As the planted-out stock
grows to quite a large size, it may be
better to carry along in pots all summer,
shifting successively from 2-inch to 4-
inch and 6-inch pots, in which latter size
fine bushy specimens can be grown by at-
tention to watering and judicious feed-
ing. Jerusalem cherries (Solanum capsi-
cafltrum) can be similarly treated, plants
from outdoors and lifted being in this
case much superior to pot-grown ones. I
think you will find this a much better
selling Christmas plant than the peppers.

DONT 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 soifieone,
somewhere, who needs just that little
batch of plants. You can reach that
someone, everywhere, through a classified
advertisement in the Revievst, at a cost
of 10 cents a line. Everyone reada the
Review's classified ads. Don't let the
little surplus go to waste.

NURSERY NEWS.

AHIBICAN A880CI1TI0N OF MUBSEBIMBN.

PreB., J. W. Hill, DeB Molnea, I».; Vice-pres.
C. M. HobbB, Brtdjeport, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. C
Se»»er, Rocheater; Treas., C. L. Y»te«, BpchM-
ter. The 83d annual convention will be held at
MUwaukee, June, 1908.

The Grandview Nursery & Orchard
Co., Des Moines, la., has completed a
new oflBce building and warehouse at
East Ninth and Hull streets.

Crimson Eambler roses are still called
for in large numbers, but it has been a
noticeable fact that larger numbers of
pink climbing roses have been planted.

William H. Most, of the government
forest service, has collected 600 pounds
of seed of the Douglas fir near Thunder
City, Idaho, which will be planted in the
forest reserves in Colorado and Utah.

Pbivet, no matter how old or how
large, will stand cutting back to any
extent, but in the event of cutting back
young or old privet being necessary, it
will be better to delay the work until
spring.

Eeal estate agents at Nelson, B. C,
are endeavoring to interest the English
people in Kootenay, which is being ad-
vertised as "British Columbia's greatest
fruit district" in English horticultural
publications.

Abbor vitaes are perhaps the most
serviceable of what may be termed the
minor evergreens. Among them are vari-
eties useful alike for hedges, groups and
isolated specimens, and invariably satis-
factory in varying situations.

The Garden and Farm Almanac for
1908, just issued by Doubleday, Page &
Co., New York, contains the American
Pomological Society's "Catalogue of
Fruits" as a list of varieties adapted to
each section of the United States.

There is a growing demand for Eho-
dodendron maximum. It is gaining in
favor because it is almost hardy every-
where, besides being unquestionably one
of the most decorative shrubs, easily ob-
tained and needing little after care.

All rhododendrons, even E. maximum,
are benefited by some covering over the
roots in winter in many sections of the
country, while those that are not hardy
should have the protection of evergreen
branches laid over them in addition.

At Beeville, Tex., A. V. Schwab and
E. A. Eolleck have established a nur-
sery and will be ready for business in
the spring. F. G. Hutchison, a Cali-
fornian, also contemplates locating in
that vicinity and starting a nursery.

John C. Olmsted is planning the im-
provement of the park system of Port-
land, Ore., and has made a report to the
city council in which he recommends,
among other things, the purchase of land
along the hiU west of the city for the
extension of the system. The property
is valued at nearly a million dollars.

PROPAGATING.

Cuttings of yews, arbor-vitses and reti-
nosporas root readily in sand in a prop-
agating house where bottom heat is avail-
able in winter. Cuttings of the last sea-
son's growth, taken with a heel, will root
freely. After the cuttings are put in the

sand they should bo well watered and the
sand kept fairly moist right along. Light
shade also is necessary.

If the cuttings have been put in the
bench, when rooted they will require to
be put in boxes filled with sandy soil and
kept for at least two weeks in a growing
temperature. Then they may be removed
to a cool house and kept there until early
spring, when they should be placed in a
coldframe to harden and finally be dis-
posed of for the summer by placing in a
somewhat shady, sheltered place. For
the first winter it will be well to' keep the
young plants under cover and then in the
spring following plant them in beds in
the open ground.

If instead of putting the cuttings in
the sand on a bench, they are put in
boxes and the boxes placed over beat, the
necessity for transplanting the cuttings
when rooted will have been obviated,
while equally satisfactory results in root-
ing the cuttings will usually follow.

M.

PRUNING.

When, in pruning trees, it is necessary
to remove branches wholly it is much
the better way to saw the branch close
up to the trunk of the tree than to leave
a portion of the branch. Some have still
the idea that benefit results from leaving
a part of the branch (about one foot),
but from actual experience it has become
well known that such a practice invaria-
bly injures the trunk of the tree if the
portion referred to is aUowed to remain
and decays." The decay often extends in-
ward to the trunk. On the other hand,
when the branch is cut off close up to the
trunk, the wound soon heals, leaving no
trace of its infliction upon the tree. And,
besides, the latter method produces neater
work.

When pruning is necessary it should
be done to most trees in late fall or win-
ter. Pruning in spring has the effect of
weakening the vitality of the subjects
operated upon, a condition to be espe-
cially avoided when the desire is that
. strong and vigorous growth should result
from the operation. No trees should be
pruned when the buds are bursting in
spring; rather than do that, when strong
resulting growth is the object, it will be
better to defer the work until another
autumn. M.

THE LAXTONBERRY.

The Loganberry has been successfully
used abroad in breeding berry fruits. The
most promising appears to be the Lax-
tonberry, raised by Laxton Bros., Bed-
ford, England, from a cross of Logan-
berry with Superlative, long considered
the best European raspberry. The new
fruit is raspberry-like in appearance and
flavor, being darker red than the Logan-
berry, and pulls off in the manner of rasp-
berries, instead of retaining a black-
berry like core as does the Loganberry,
but grows like the latter in long trailing
canes. The growers think it will super-
sede the Loganberry, which has become a
recognized market fruit in eastern Eu-
rope, South Africa and Australia, though
in common with other hybrids of the
western dewberry it is a flat failure on
this continent, except along the Pacific
coast, where it originated, says the Eural
New Yorker. Plants will grow and bear
for several years in eastern fruit-growing
localities, but are never productive and
satisfactory. Many crosses of the Logan-
berry with blackberries and raspberries
have been made in this country, but none

appears to be desirable. Superlative is a
large, long, red raspberry of the Euro-
pean type, productive 'where it thrives
and of excellent quality. It is said to do
well at Eochester, N. Y., but the foliage
blights severely.

WESTERN ASSOCIATION.

The eighteenth annual meeting of the
Western Association of Nurserymen was
held at the Coates house, Kansas City,
December 17 and 18. In the morning
session of the first day routine business
was discussed and committees were ap-
pointed. In the afternoon President
Willis delivered his address on "The
Past, Present and Future. ' ' In the
course of his remarks he said that the
most troublesome question the nursery-
men had to face was in connection with
railroads. Shipments which should be
delivered in three days are often delayed
a week, until trees are killed. "The
discoveries of Luther Burbank have not
affected us much," he said. "And in
the hubbub over him many other faithful
workers have been ignored."

One of E. M. Skinner's suggestions
aroused a warm discussion. He proposed
that the association resolve to pay com-
mon laborers only $1.25 per day. J. W.
Hill, of Des Moines, and C. G. Ferguson,
of St. Joseph, protested, and it was
finally decided to allow the labor question
to remain unsettled.

In the afternoon session, also, the fol-
lowing officers were elected to serve dur-
ing the ensuing year: President, E. P.
Bernardin, Parsons, E[an. ; vice-president,
E. S. Welch, Shenandoah, Iowa; secre-
tary and treasurer, E. J. Holman, Leav-
enworth, Kan. Executive board: F. H.
Stannard, Ottawa, Kan.; W. P. Stark,
Louisiana, Mo.; E. J. Bagby, New
Haven, Mo.; J. W. Hill, Des Moines,
Iowa, and A. J. Brown, Cieneva, Neb.

The program for Wednesday, the sec-
ond day of the meeting, included a long
list of brief papers on topics running aU

York banking flurry to consideration of
the best size of apple tree for orchard
planting. Nearly everyone present had a
chance to be heard.

NEW ORLEANS.

The main subject of the last meeting
of the New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety was to be a discussion on the next
chrysanthemum show. The attendance
was so poor that no action could be
taken. Is it on account of bad weather,
or a little more rush of business at this
time of the year, or is it that the florists
show little interest in the matter which
prevented them from coming? A deci-
sion will be had at the next monthly
meeting. Paul Abele, E. Eichling and
E. Lockerbie were appointed members
of the finance committee for next year.

Eobert Lockerbie says that J. News-
ham will have finished moving to his
new quarters at the Halfway by the
first of the jyear.

E. Eichling, at U. J. Virgin.'s, reports
business for decoration and funeral work
brisk.

At the markets the sale of plants is
slow.

IVom the appearance of the supply,
Christmas trees are not going to be short,
as last year.

Miss Carrie Eble, niece of Charles
Eble, was married December 18. She
has been Mr. Ebele's eflBcient artist as-
sistant for the last four years.

On Sunday morning, December 22, a
hail storm passed over New Orleans, do-
ing considerable damage to the hotbeds
and greenhouse glass. This sort of
weather is happily quite unusual around
here. M. M. L.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

The new greenhouse in Snyder park is
44x150 feet, with a shop at the west end
14x44. It is equipped with a hot water
system, including a Kroeschell No. 5 boiler,
300 feet of 4-inch heating pipe and 2,400
feet of 2-inch pipe, and is thoroughly up-
to-date in every respect. The total cost-
of the building, including boiler, car-
penter-work and steam-fitting, was $3,000.
The cost, however, was greatly lessened
from the fact that the entire plumbing
excavation, and carpenter-work was done
by Superintendent Mclntire and the park
force. Already 50,000 flower pots have
been purchased and the work of propa-
gating bedding stock for 1908 has begun.

parison with any other.— G. H. Hankele,

New Carnation

Brilliant Scarlet

There are Seven Reasons Why You Should Grow
Defiance, and They Ares

iBt. It is by far the best color seen in a scarlet
carnation; it is the true velvety scarlet and not red; it
will average three inches in diameter throughout the
season.

2d. It is unexcelled for productiveness by any
carnation in commerce today.

3d. It is a clean and upright grower, producing
an abundance of high grade flowers without any spec-
ial treatment.

4th. It is in perfect health and not subject to rust
or any other disease which is very prevalent amongst
other carnations today.

5th. It is of perfect form. Blooms are very sym-
metrical; center nicely built up and very full, bift not
so as to appear crowded; stems are very stiff and wiry,
holding the flowers perfectly erect.

6th. It is a scarlet for the entire season, and can be
had in crop in October, continuing through the entire
season. It does not lose its color in bright sunlight— in
fact it improves under a bright sun when other reds fade.

7th. It is the only scarlet today, and by grow-
ing DBFIANCB you will be satisfied it has no faults;
it is full of vigor and will do the work when other
scarlets fail.

Strong, well-rooted cuttings, every one guaranteed, $12.00 per lOO;
$100«00 per lOOO* Usual discount on large orders. January delivery as yet.

RAMBLING JOTTINGS.

John Murchie, of Sharon, Pa., did a
wise thing when he located at West Mid-
dlesex, and he did not consult a clair-
voyant either.

Walter W. Coles, of Kokonio, Ind., is
blossoming out as an orchidist now that
he has so slick a range of houses, built
by the King Construction Co. He says
the truss system is all right and he has
no fear for the prairie gales that for-
merly made him quake. He always grew
fine Beauties and will not be satisfied if
he does not beat the best. He ex-
pressed himself on carnations thus:
"Victory is great. Craig is a disappoint-
ment. Aristocrat is not a taking color.
Cardinal is the only scarlet just right for
Christmas, and a heavy crop. White Per-
fection is the best white. Winsor is act-
ing very much as if it were a sport of
Lawson, being stocky and almost identical
with the exception of color. Enchantress
and Rose-pink Enchantress- are practic-
ally the same in every locality, being the
least affected of any kind by the nature
of the soil or the method of culture. ' '
A house of Princess of Wales, just right
for the holidays, with every bloom al-
ready sold, was a sight. Mr. Coles said
that 1,000 of them would each cover a
silver dollar. I doubted it, but we meas-
ured several that more than did so.

The garden committee of the Massachusetts Horticnltnral Society recently visited the
greenhouses of H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, to see his carnations. A white seedling which
is largely planted and which has been shown at Boston and other shows, was looking fine.
It is the most wonderfully prolific white the committee had seen. The flower is large, fall
and the stem ideal.— Boston News-letter in Nov. 28, 1907, issue of The Flobists' Review.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

There has been a decided falling off in
the receipt of all kinds of stock. Eoses,
especially, are away off crop and will
be scarce for some time. Carnations are
beginning to come in more plentifully,
but are none too many for the demand.
Bomans and valley are coming in freely,
as well as some fine stevia.

The quality of violets received of late
has never been surpassed in this locality.
The eastern double violets are also ex-
cellent.

Variotis Notes.

E. A. Wilhelmy, of Lorain avenue, had
two adjoining stores rented for his extra
Christmas rush.

The Excelsior Club, on Woodland ave-
nue, was badly damaged by fire December
. 20, giving Warncke & Son 's greenhouses
a close call. The glass, being close to the
clubhouse, was damaged somewhat.

A. M. Coe's carnations are coming on
in fine shape. His single violets are
also fine.

Knoble Bros, liad a large business at
the HoUenden, having twenty-five tables
to decorate, in addition to the banquet
hall. ^

Lars Anderson, of Rocky River, has
been sending in some extra fine cut poin-
settias.

The stevia being sent in by Robert
Kegg, of West Park, is by far the best
m the market.

The F. R. Williams Co. is cutting a
fine lot of calla and longiflorum lilies

Westman & Getz report business as
very good.

The J. M. Gasser Co. bad an attractive
window display, consisting of green cur-
tains draped with clusters of small elec-
tric lights in different colors. B

Easton, Pa.— rred Munz has leased
the Herman Simon greenhouses and will
sell his stock at 459 Northampton street.

Madison, Wis.— Louis Russos is now
occupying the new store which he built
tor his own use, about a block from his
former location. The new building is an
.^legant one, with the interior finished in
mahogany.

DETROIT,

The Market

I think I am safe in saying that
Christmas business was away ahead of
expectations. There was a big demand
for plants of all kinds at good prices.

There was a scarcity of roses of all
kinds. Carnations were plentiful; the
price ranged from 4 cents to 8 cents.
Violets were also in good supply; the
demand for them up to the present writ-
ing has been good. Contrary to my last
report, holly and ground pine were a
scarce article by Christinas. The supply
of holly was not nearly equal to the do«

The last regular meeting of the De-
troit Florists' Club was held Wednes-
day, December 18. About one-third of
the members were in attendance.

A lengthy discussion was held con-
cerning the advisability of giving a fall
or spring flower show. The matter was
finally left in the hands of a committee
of six. This committee is to be appoint-
ed by the president and the names are
not known as yet.

There will be no meeting January 1.
The next regular meeting will be held
Wednesday, January 15.

TTic Weekly Florists' Review.

Decbmbes 20, 1007.

, < . WASHINGTON.

At the present writing everybody is
getting in sliape for the final rush. All
the stores report business as good as
usual, with plenty of good stock. Harly
& Co., the wholesalers, besides cut flow-
ers, have sold a great many azaleas and
other plants.

The store windows are unusually at-
tractive this year. Small's have a large
cluster of satin bells in all sizes sus-
pended with ribbons, some white, some
red, with red electric light bulbs for clap-
pers, under a canopy of asparagus with a
background of holly. The effect is beau-
tiful.

Z. D. Blacklstone has a sleigh drawn
by a flock of doves, and some beautifully
decorated heather plants.

The Washington Florists' Co. has a
pretty rustic window filled with cedar
stumps with ferns and other plants grow-
ing in them. A camp kettle with twigs
sits over a red light.

Kramer has his usual display of
wreaths, poinsettias and decorated plants.
He has a store on Ninth street for the
holidays. * O. O.

USE FOR LOW GROUND.

"We. have a low piece of ground that
covers about two acres which can be eas-
ily arranged so that it is covered with
anywhere from six inches to s-s feet of
water, fed by five large springs. Are
there any flowers or vegetables that can
be grown in this fresh water to market
that will bring ua fait returns? If so,
what are theyf Our market is handy for
anything. " A. J. B.

I am unaware of an7 vegetable' which
can be grown in water. \ou might flood
the piece of ground and grow water lilies,
such as nymphaeas and nelumbiums. They
are the only aquatic flowers which would
have any commerc.al value. A depth of
two or three feet of water would suffice
for these plants. For a list of suitable
varieties and methods of cultivation refer
k) the REViEvy of November 28, page 11.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Dbcbmber 26, 1907.

ONCINNATL

The Market

That flowers are scarce goes without
saying. But it can be said that they are
scarcer this year than they usually are
at this time. In fact, I don't believe
that you could pick up a good sized
bundle in all of the wholesale houses put
together. The weather has been any-
thing but what is wanted to force bloom.
There has been scarcely any sun and it
has been pretty cold, too. Many of the
growers were off crop anyway, and so it
was expected that flowers would be
scarce for Christmas, scarcer even than
they have been at that time for many
years, and that is saying a whole lot.
Poinsettias were abundant and we had
them to fall back on in many cases where
other stock could not be secured. There
does not appear to have been as much
salting as is usual, but this is perhaps
because stock was so scarce anyway and
prices correspondingly high. There are
plenty of green goods. The demand for
galax has never been better and box-
wood is selling in great shape. A box-
wood and red immortelle wreath has a
holly one beat anyway, and it will bring
a much better price, too.

Retailers reported few advance orders.
I believe, though, that everyone had all
of the business he could take care of.

Various Notes.

Mums are still being shipped to this
market by the Kenton Floral Co., of Ken-
ton, O., and the Lampert Ploral Co., of
Xenia, O. The stock is good for so late
and brings a good price.

The Hoffmeister Floral Co. reports a
shortage of roses for the holidays, though
a good cut was expected. The bad weather
prevented the numerous buds in sight
from opening.

• Charles Pommert, of Amelia, O., the
goldfish man, reports the demand for
goldfish to be as good as ever and he
cannot raise enough to fill all orders.
Mr. Pommert ships the fish all over the
country and has been very successful in
this ticklish business.

L. H. Kyrk spent a few days last week
among his growers in Indiana. He re-
ports stock scarce with all of them,
though the quality is of the best.

E. J. Fancourt, of the Pennock-Mee-
han Co., Philadelphia, Pa., was a visitor.

C. J. Ohmer.

All members or prospective members
of the American Carnation Society living
in the state of Ohio will please notify at
once E. G. Gillett, 113 East Third street,
Cincinnati, O., if they will attend the
meeting of said Carnation Society, at
Washington, D. C, January 28 to 30.
This request is made by Secretary Hays,
, of the American Breeders' Association,
for the purpose of getting railroad rates.

E. G. Gillett.

Louisville, Ky. — This market was
well stocked with Christmas supplies,
both greens and cut flowers.

Jamestown, O. — D. E. Adsit has
erected three houses, each 20x80 feet, and
expects to grow a general assortment of
bedding and decorative plants and vege-
tables. This winter he will use part of
his space for the growing of lettuce.
L. C. Adsit, lately of the Livingston Seed
Co., Columbus, O., will act as his grower
and manager.

ANTHRAQTE COAL. , .

According to my <5xperieilce' in the use
of anthracite coal for horticultural pur-
poses, it matters little what the size of
the boiler is, provided the character of
the fuel is rightly understood by the
stoker. I began using, the large vein
anthracite coal somewhere about the year
1876 or 1877, with no previous knowledge
of Its peculiarities. Not much success
resulted at the start. By continuously
raking and disturbing a fire of anthra-
cite coal, not only is an indiflferent heat
evolved, but a considerable proportion of
the fuel IS shaken through the fire bars
and remains thus unconsumed. In order
to obtain the best results with this fuel
in any type of boiler, quite apart from
the question of price, it must be allowed
to do its work undisturbed. By proper
regulation of the damper, a fire of
anthracite coal will endure manv hours
without attention. The chief value of this
coal, therefore, lies in its great dura-

HOUGHTON, MICH.

The Lakeside Floral Co.

The Lakeside Floral Co., with its head-
quarters here and its branches at Calu-
met and Chassell, has developed and pros-
pered remarkably since it was organized
last spring. Besides buying all the prop-
erty of the old Lutey Floral Co., the new
firm has almost doubled the capacity of
the Chassell greenhouses, has built a new
store and conservatory at Calumet, im-
proved and partly rebuilt the Calumet
greenhouses and purchased the building
formerly occupied by the Lutey Floral
Co. in Houghton.

At Chassell the company has eighty
acres of land, with a quarter of a mile
of lake frontage and with side tracks,
docks and other special conveniences for
transportation. Part of the land is used
as pasture, while the rest of it is being
planted with nursery stock. It is the
intention to use the entire aareage for
nursery and greenhouse purposes eventu-
ally. The Chassell greenhouses include
35,000 square feet of glass, devoted en-
tirely to cut flowers. The success of this
plant is largely due to the energetic ef-
forts of the foreman, Harry Lutey, and
his assistant, Alfred York.

The Calumet greenhouses comprise 20,-
000 square feet of glass, besides the new
store and conser\'atory, already men-
tioned. The houses at' this branch are
under the efficient management of John
Murley and are used not only for cut
flowers but also for propagating purposes
and for ferns, bulb stock and beddine
plants. *

DALLAS, TEX.

Such men as E. E, Perrynjan, Otto
Lang. Ernest Nitsche and Henry Holt-
kanip were the pioneers in the florists'
business in this section and cleared the
way for the great industry that was to
come. From tl;e nucleus started by these
men, the first greenhouse and nursery
of any considerable size was constructed
by the Texas Seed and Floral Co. some
fifteen years ago, and this was followed
a short time afterwards by the plant of
the Southern Floral Co., under the man-
agement of E. E. Ferryman. It was
with the coming of E. H. R. Green two
years ago that the industry reached a de-
velopment that made its influence felt
throughout the southwest.

Curious to relate, that which was main-
ly responsible for Mr. Green's big plant
on the Kaufman road is the boll weevil.
For the purpose of fighting this insect,
which was playing havoc with cotton
raised along the Texas Midland, of which
he is president, Mr. Green purchased 245
acres of land near Terrell, to be used
as an experimental farm for seeking a
way of exterminating the pest. Quite
naturally, with glass on the place, some
flowers were grown.

Dallas has now practically 500,000
square feet under glass, there being be-
tween 400 and 500 men employed at some

seasons of the year. In onfe flower fac-
tory alone there were over seven car-
loads of glass used, and two carloads of
mre are required to furnish stakes to
maintain the upright character of the
plants. During the summer season it is
necessary to syringe the flowers under
glass frequently and it takes 65,000 gal-
lons of water daily at the Green plant
for this purpose. This water comes from
their own wells and goes through a soft-
ening process before it is used on the
plants.

The establishment of great greenhouse
plants here has brought about a marked
decrease in the local retail prices for cut

Roses are a great deal cheaper, and, in
fact, there has been a decrease of from
twenty-five to fifty per cent all down the
line in cut flowers of all kinds. This, of
course, is occasioned to a great extent by
the doing away of express charges. Lo-
cal retailers report that the citizens of
Dallas are taking advantage of these
prices and that there is always a ready
sale for good stock.

With Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana,
and the leading cities of north, south.

east and west Texas, as our tributaries, it
will be only a question of time before the
industry of raising cut flowers and plants,
and the nursery branch of the business,
will be recognized as one of the leading
factors in the growth of Dallas as the
financial, manufacturing and industrial
metropolis of the southwest.

Service will, on January 10, open bids

GLEANED EN ROUTE,

Irving Gingrich, manager of the South
Bend Floral Co., of South Bend, Ind.,
says he does not recall a time when pur-
chasers held oflf so long as at this holi-
day season, but they came with a rush
that kept him and his help as busy as
they could be.

A. F. Beyer & Sons, of South Bend,
found their big store none too large to
accommodate the stock disposed of dur-
ing the holiday season.

W. D. Rettic, of South Bend, has no
store, but has fitted up a natty oflBce at
the greenhouses, which, being near the
center of town, are easily reached and
they are kept very attractive.

Van Bochbve & Bro., of Kalamazoo,
echoed the call from the great central
west market of short supply and stiffer
prices.

Burt & Coggan, of Battle Creek, Mich.,
are located in the new Arcade building,
occupying two stores ordinarily, with an
additional store during the holiday sea-
son. They grow pot plants quite largely
and find an increasing demand. Azaleas
are scarce, owing to late arrival of ship-
ments, but poinsettias, primulas and
specimen ferns are in splendid shape.
Almost everything was sold out, owing
to the almost prohibitive prices of roses
and carnations.

Levant Cole, of Battle Creek, is one of
the pioneers in the business and has no
fault to find. He has a snug place and
disposes of all he can grow.

Joseph B. Blessing, of Jackson, Mich.,
intends taking a long trip after the holi-
days. He has not had a vacation for
thirty years and the recent death of his
side partner has convinced him that all
work is not good, even while in this land
of Eden.

Clara Brown & Co., of Jackson, do a
large cemetery business. Just now they
are rushing orders- for wreathing. The
junior partner is laid up with rheuma-
tism; particularly unfortunate at this
busy time. W.

Fitzgerald, Ga. — Joel Thomas has
erected an additional house, 16x70, and
will do P'oro building next year if busi-
ness continues to prosper.

WAYSIDE NOTES.

If you want to catch Anthony VVie-
gand you must get around early in the
morning, for this young man of 76 sum-
mers is around at 5:30, ready to inspect.
the early shipments of flowers. Later
in the day he hands over the reins to the
boys, who are handling this flourishing
business just as the founder would wish.
The exhibition, described and illustrated
in the Review recently, was an unquali-
fied success. Mr. Wiegand feels justly
proud of the enterprise and says he saw-
only one this season that was on a more
elaborate scale, and that was at Dreer's,
which he acknowledged to - be the most
complete commercial collection put up.

H. W. Rieman, of Indianapolis, is
aiming to give a spring show on the
southeast side. He can do it, having re-
modeled his entire plant. It is now ce-
ment and iron throughout, with the excep-
tion of the rafters. He has a fine lot of
cypripediums, which sell freely on the
place — a striking proof of the esthetic
tastes of his patrons.

John Heidenreich, of Indianapolis, for-
merly attended market regularly, but is
now raising stock that sells quickly on
the place. He has the best batch of
late chrysanthemums in the city.

Conway & C!o. make a specialty of car-
nations. They should have named the
nejv aster Lucky Strike. A big batch of
orders demonstrated the medium by
which their find was brought to the notice
of the trade.

The Bertermann Bros. Co., of In-
dianapolis, has purchased a large farm
about seventeen miles out. John B.,
who presides over the ranch, says they
can raise fine cattle, as well as flowers.
Nothing isL too good for them, as their
fine store attests. '

Another of the cra^t .^yho has partially
turned farmei^ is John A. Newby, of
Logansport, In^, who recently purchased
a fine tract of land outside the range of
smoke and dust. There is no need to
worry about good soil now. W.

NEW YEAR
GREETING,

'S

S. A. F.

To THE Members of the S. A. F. O.
H. — Greetings: At the opening of this
year I desire, on taking over the office of
president of our national society, to ex-
tend to you my heartiest good wishes for
a prosperous and successful year, both as
regards our individual interests and those
of the organisation, the welfare and ad-
vancoment of which we all have so much
at heart. No man ever entered on the
duties of the presidency of the S, A. F.
O. H. more conscious of the great re-
sponsibilities resting on him than I am.
To maintain the standard of efficiency
to which the organization has been
brought by my able predecessors is a
task which even the most experienced in
the work of the society must regard as
a formidable one. But, as the old say-
ing has it, ' ' the best of men are but men
at best." I assume the leadership, there-
fore, to which your suffrage elected me,
promising you my very best "endeavor to
fulfill, as far as I can, the trust which
you, my fellow members, have reposed in
me.

But in order that the society shall
measure up to its highest efficiency dur-
ing the year 1908, I must have, and ex-
pect to obtain, the fullest cooperation of
all the members. I therefore urge the state
vice-presidents to do their very best in
securing new members in their respective
localities, to spread abroad therein prop-
aganda concerning the organization, its
benefits, its usefulness and how deserv-
ing of encouragement and support it is,
by every man and woman engaged in
the lines of industry we are banded to-
gether to promote and advance.

Of the various committees appointed
by my predecessor in office I earnestly
desire, as I feel sure of obtaining, the
faithful and full performance of the re-
spective duties which have been assigned
to them, as on the result of their en-
deavors very much of the progress of
our association depends. I also hope
that every member, individually, will act
well his or her part in the furtherance
of the work of the S. A. F. O. H. " One
for all and all for one ' ' should be the
motto impelling each of us in our every
effort along the lines of society work.

I wish to call particular attention to
the forthcoming flower. show, to be held
under the society's auspices at Chicago,
111., in the fall of this year. The com-
mittees appointed to carry out the de-
tails of this our first undertaking in this
line are now hard at work, and I bespeak
for them the best assistance of all the
members, looking to the ultimate success
that is hoped for in our stupendous ven-
ture.

I would briefly refer to the great loss
which our organization has sustained by
the sad death of our secretary, P. J.
Hauawirth. The work of the secretary 's
office is being looked after temporarily
by Willis N. Rudd. Morgan Park, 111.,
whose well-known ability ensures the ut-
most efficiency in everything connected
with that office.

The preparation of the annual report

for 1907 is being rapidly pushed to a
conclusion, and the publication and dis-
tribution of the document will be ac-
complished with as little delay as pos-
sible.

Again assuring you of the ' ' best that
is in me" in the conduct of the society's
affairs during 1908, and looking for and
expecting the cordial and hearty support
of you all, I am.

Yours fraternally,

F. H. Traendly, President.

CHRISTMAS BUSINESS.

There is evident satisfaction in the
Christmas trade reports.

A fortnight before the holidays, pros-
pects were not encouraging, but it ap-
pears that almost universally the busi-
ness was as great as in any previous
year and in most of the cities a new rec-
ord was established. The general ex-
planation seems to be that all this scare
about hard times has been false alarm,
but that a few people who have in pre-

vious years spent large sums for Christ-
mas gifts, really did this year content
themselves with sending flowers.

It seems to have been quite generally
the case that supplies were greater than
a year ago and as a consequence many
wholesale centers report that prices were
not up to those of last year. In some
cases retailers tell the same story, but in
general they realized the same figures
and consequently a better profit.

The demand for red always falls short
and when it came to Beauties, or Eich-
monds, or red carnations, it was a repe-
tition of the old saying that "he who
hesitates is lost." The retailer who
hesitated about placing his Christmas
order got no red. Nor were there, as a
rule, otlier roses for late buyers, but
carnations were enough to go around.
This refers to the wholesale markets.
In the country towns practically every-
thing was cleaned up and more could
have been sold.

The plant arrangements, which have
been so popular the last few years, had
a larger sale than ever before. They
have worked their way down from the
fashionable stores of New York to those
places where the stock is retailed in the
|)otting-shed at the greenhouses. Nearly
everyone now sells some kind of plant
arrangement at Christmas and Easter.
The supply of plants was greater than
ever and cleaned out fairly well.

There is general satisfaction with the
(liristmas business and the trade starts
in on 1908 with the enthusiasm engen-
dered by its biggest Christmas.

RETROSPECT
AND PROSPECT

^

End of an Unusual Year.

The year 1907 has passed into history
as one of the most unusual in the annals
of our trade. The early months of the
year saw business at high tide; not only
the flower business but all lines of manu-
facturing, mercantile and speculative ac-
tivity. Everything went merrily "as a
marriage bell" until the date arrived for
spring ; but spring did not arrive on time
and from that portion of the year until
its close conditions have been disturbed
and the future fraught with more or less
uncertainly.

The Year in Cut Flowers,

The first part of the year was one of
unusually high prices for cut flowers. It
was only the fortunate grower who was
able to produce the usual quantity from
a given space, but the good prices which
prevailed enabled everyone to make a
profit and the summer found the grow-
ers in the heyday of their prosperity.

The result was a general overhauling,
expansion, and thorough preparation for
a big season in the fall of the year. The
autumn found rose crops well advanced
and production the heaviest on record,
with its consequent tendency, had there
:»een no unusual outside influences, toward
lower prices. Exactly the reverse was
the condition with carnations. In gen-
eral, the field conditions had been un-

favorable, the plants were small when
housed and they did not get away
promptly, with the result that production
all through the autumn was lighter than
usual and the tendency toward higher
values.

The Mum and Violet Seasons.

With chrysanthemums, the splendid
season which the growers enjoyed in
1906 prompted a large increase in the
production for 1907, and, as is almost
always the case where production is in-
creased, the principal part of the in-
crease was of no better than medium
quality. This of itself would have tend-
ed to reduce average values all along the
line, and especially by comparison with
the splendid season of the year be-
fore, had there been no unbalancing of
general business conditions just as the
mum season opened. While prices were
lower than usual in nearly every mar-
ket, those growers who supply the trade
in New York city suffered much more
than those in the west, and many report
an unprofitable season.

The violet growing industry along the
Hudson has become one of more than
local importance, for Ehinebeck violets
now are sold in practically every market
east of the Mississippi, and from Chi-
cago they find their way in thousand lots
clear up into British Columbia and south
to New Orleans. Western towns also are

finding that the big dark blue violet of
Rhinebeck will sell at a profit in spite of
the loss of its fragrance. The violet
growers have complained for years that
there was no longer any profit in the
business, but just the same they keep on
increasing the production.

Last spring the New York violet mar-
ket was overloaded and the western out-
let was sought and considerably devel-
oped, as a result. Since autumn, the dis-
turbed condition in the east has caused
heavier violet shipments west than ever
before.' Prices have been below those of
other years, while quality has been su-
perb.

Bulbous Stock.

The sales of bulbous stock in the
spring were at a somewhat lower level
than the year before, but this did no{
prevent a banner business in bulbs this
season. The standard forcing sorts of
tulips were quickly cleaned up and, after
a somewhat prolonged season, the bed-
ding stock also has cleaned up nicely.

The reports show that rather more
Harrisii and longiflorum have been
potted up than a year ago, and there are
larger quantities in cold storage for
later blooming, so that we shall have
lilies in quantity all the year around.

The cut of French stuff, Paper
Whites and Eomans, which comes into
the market at the end of November, has
been going slowly at lower rates than
last year and the prospect for a good
season for these is not brilliant. Nor

states and it resulted in sadly overtax-
ing the capacities of the greenhouses;
there was no room to spread out the
stock and a great deal of the material
sold was below the usual quality, as a
consequence. When spring finally came
it passed quickly into summer and the
large amount of spring business had to
be taken care of in less than the usual
time. Nevertheless, there was little
cause for complaint over the profits of
the season; the troubles were in the diffi-
culties of handling stock and sales. It
again was demonstrated that all the
good bedding plants, ready at the right
time, would find a sale. In fact, there
was a shortage in many lines at the
height of the season, particularly of
geraniums, which later became plenti-
ful, that part of the stock which proved
to be surplus not having been in bloom
at the time it was wanted.

A condition specially noteworthy was
the spring demand for perennials. The
sale of hardy stock for garden planting
in 1907 was greater than in any year in
trade history. The peony and the phlox
stand specially well in public apprecia-
tion, but many florists are growing to
handle flowering shrubs and many nurs-
eries are taking up perennials. The
gardening instinct appears to be only
just awakening in the American people.

Holiday Plants,

Those plantsmen whose specialty is
holiday supplies, did a big business for
Easter ami again for Memorial day and

were the first jonquils or cut tulips
pounced upon with avidity by the buyers.

The Spring Plant Trade.

The late spring of 1907 was a matter
of serious moment to those who grew
bedding plants. The condition was gen-
oral throughout most of the northern

for Christmas. In the spring they
cleaned up everything at good prices, al-
though some had their troubles with
lilies. For Christmas, sales were equally
good in volume, but prices were not quite
up to those of a year before. The holi-
day plant trade is steadily increasing, be-
cause the possibilities of cut flower pro-

duction generally throughout the coun-
try are not equal to supply the holiday
demand for blooms. The sales of holi-
day arrangements of plants in baskets,
hampers or other receptacles are increas-
ing all over the country, not so much,
we believe, because of their novelty or
their enduring quality as because a sup-
ply of cut flowers adequate to every-day
requirements falls far short of the needs
of a holiday.

Summer Business.

The excellence of the summer business
is worth noting. While there are locali-
ties in which nothing is doing in sum-
mer, this condition no longer prevails
with the majority of the trade. Many
large growers of cut flowers for the
wholesale market now find their sum-
mer crops among the most profitable for
the year. This does not apply to asters,
gladioli, outdoor sweet peas, etc., which
generally seem largely overdone, espe-
cially in the poorer qualities. There is,
however, a good summer sale for really
first-class cut flowers, and crops of
Beauty, Kaiserin, Killarney, etc., pay
handsomely.

Increase in Gltas,

The greenhouse builders and the deal-
ers in horticultural supplies had their
banner season in 1907. It is difficult to
estimate with any degree of accuracy
the extent oi the year's increase in glass
area, but it is of record that one manu-
facturer of material supplied cypress
milled for 800,000 square feet of glass
in the first four months of the year.
With eight or ten firms making a spe-
cialty of this business, and a number of
smaller growers still unaware that the
specialist can beat the local planing mill
at all points in the game, the total in-
crease must have been something pro-
digious.

It is worth while noting that the in-
crease was not great in the enormous
plants which are now supplying several
of the cut flower centers, but rather the
increase lay in the fact that almost every
grower who had one or more houses add-
ed something to his place. In addition,
quite a number of new establishments
for cut flower growing were started in
districts at some little distance from any
large cut flower market.

Effect of New Glass.

These plants are doing a shipping busi-
ness in wholesale cut flowers, supplying
only a few near-by customers, but they
must sooner or later be felt in the older
wholesale sections. To a greater or less
extent they are responsible for the sud-
den and violent fluctuations in wholesale
prices in the larger markets. These local
wholesale cut flower growers, with no
very large supply, take care of the needs
of a limited number of buyers during
times of normal production. In times of
heavy crops they can supply one or two
more near-by stores, but in times of
scarcity they fall short of meeting the
needs of their regular customers, who
then fall back on the big markets and
boost the prices they have to pay. The
same thing results from the building of
glass by those whose outlet is at retail.
In times of large supply they are con-
signors; in times of scarcity, buyers.
With many a wholesaler it is either a
feast or a famine, and the condition
promises to become more acute as the sea-
sons progress, but fortunately so far
buyers have increased in number and
needs more rapidly than local glass has
increased, so that thus far supply and

demand are on the whole fairly well bal-
anced in the big wholesale markets, even
if the changes in supply and prices often
are startling.

Glass for Vegetables.

In passing, the increase in the extent
of glass devoted to vegetables should
not be overlooked. A year or two ago
the forcers of vegetables under glass
were in panic lest the rapid increase in
the winter supplies of vegetables from
the far south, brought in express re-
frigerator cars, should ruin their busi-
ness. But they have found that the public
will pay for quality. (If they will do so
in supplies for the table, it stands to rea-
son that the same thing will hold true
in matters of sentiment, and the grower
of first-class cut flowers will have the
call on the market.) Last year the vege-
table growers had a splendid season and
they built heavily in the spring of 1907.
Thus far this winter prices have been
exceedingly low and the probability is
that there will be much less building for
vegetables in the spring of 1908, what-
ever may be true of building for cut
flowers, which gives every indication of
being large, particularly in the west,
where the country is prosperous as never
before.

Flower Shows.

The flower shows of 1907, those edu-
cators of public taste in things floricul-
tural, were the most successful ever held,
although they came just at the height of
the financial flurry, when the banks were
hoarding their currency and declaring it
was the people. The greatest show of
the year was at Chicago, but all the
lesser affairs were marked by exhibits
of superior quality and rewarded with
attendance greater than usual. The
popularity of flower shows is certainly
greater than ever before.

The shows of 1908 will have to con-
tend with a presidential election, al-
though save in a few localities, where
early exhibitions are the rule, the shows
will open the week after election. The
"great and only three-ring event of the
year ' ' will be the national flower show at
Chicago. This not only is planned on
broader scope than any other exhibition
ever held in this country, but it is the
first attempt of the Society of American
Flonsts in the way of a public exhibi-
tion. The guarantee fund is the great-
est ever raised for a flower show and the
premium list the most liberal. The co-
operation of the Rose, the Chrysanthe-

mum and the Carnation Societies has
been enlisted and the show will, without
any opportunity for it to be otherwise,
prove not only the greatest ever held in
this country, but the longest, for it will
be open to the public for ten days, No-
vember 6 to 15, inclusive.

Florists Fortunate.

The florists may count themselves for-
tunate in the business of the autumn
season. Men well informed on general
trade conditions assert that the florists'
business in November and December was
less affected than almost any other by
the financial flurry. Florists have spoken
of their wares as luxuries and have
taught themselves to believe that at the
first sign of retrenchment on the part of
the public, the flower bill will be cut off.
This may be true in a sense, but the ex-
perience of the last two months has
shown that flowers are a need of the
present, and that what the public needs
today it will buy, while the needs of to-
morrow are put off. As an illustration,
the metal industry (and surely metals,
like copper and steel, are necessities)
have been almost at a standstill. The
general view is that it is merely a case
of suspended animation and that the
business usually booked by the dealers in
necessities in November and December
will come with a rush at a little later
day.

The Flurry in Percentages.

As indicating something of how the
country felt the fall flurry in finance,
the figures of the bank clearings for No-
vember are of interest. Bank clearings,
being the exchange of checks among city
banks, are generally considered the best
index of the extent of the country 's busi-
ness.

In November the bank clearings of the
whole country showed a reduction of
29.3 per cent. In New York city the
reduction was 36.1 per cent. For all the
clearing houses outside of New York it
was only 17.6 per cent, and the average
in the group of western cities ranging
from St. Paul and Minneapolis to Kan-
sas City and Denver was only 3 per cent.
In the middle west, including Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, etc., the reduction
was 15.9 per cent.

We all know that the New York cut
flower market felt the blow a great deal
worse than did any other city, and the
comparison of 36 per cent reduction in
clearings in New York and 3 per cent re-
duction in the grain states indicates

about the way the flower business was af-
fected by the troubles of the banks.

Wealth in Farmers' Hands.

As pointed out in the annual report of
the Secretary of Agriculture, made pub-
lic November 30, the total value of the
farm crops of the United States for
1907 was $7,412,000,000, which is the
prodigious sum of $657,000,000 greater
than in 1906. If the farmers had any
share in making the prosperity of the
early part of 1907, they surely have the
means in hand for contributing to equal-
ly good times in 1908.

Exports Greatest Ever.

As another indication of what we may
look forward to, the exports of the
United States for the month of Novem-
ber, which is the latest for which figures
are available, were the greatest for any
thirty days in the history of the coun-
try. In that month, the United States
sold and shipped to foreign countries
foodstuffs, agricultural products and
manufactured articles to the enormous
value of $204,444,860. This not only
exceeds October by $24,000,000, but it
was $5,000,000 greater than any month
in our history. Breadstuffs alone con-
tributed $24,736,636, so the farmer is
getting his share.

Balance of Trade.

But the best feature of the November
figures is that in the month our imports
were only $110,789,109. This means that
the balance of trade in our favor for
only one month of the year amounted to
$93,665,751. It is equal to all the gold
the banks imported tp allay the finan-
cial flurry. It was the farmer and the
manufacturer whose products paid for
the gold that helped the bankers out, and
it is upon such natural and economic re-
sources that the prosperity of 1908 will
be based.

CONWAY'S ASTER.

F. A. Conway & Co., Indianapolis,
think they have a first-class thing in the
white branching aster they have been
growing for cut flowers for several years,
and which has now been worked up to a
point where they have saved about 115
pounds of seeds from the 1907 field of
plants shown in the accompanying illus*
tration. The Indianapolis retail florists
have endorsed the opinion of Conway &
Co., and it is largely due to the recom-
mendation of Bertermann Bros. Co. that

Increase in Glass.

The greenhouse huilders and the deal-
ei's ill litiiticiiltural supplies tiad their
hanner season in 1907. It is dilhcult to
estimate with any tlegree of aecuraey
the extent cA' the y(\ar's increase in glass
area, hut it is o\' record that one maiiu-
factiirei' of material sujiplied eyjiress

With eight or ten firms making a sp(>-
ci.alty of this husiiiess, and a number of
smaller growers still unaware that the
spt'cialist can heat the local planing mill
at all idiints in the game, tlic total in-
j crease must have heen something ]iro-

It is \\orlli wliile noting that the in

so large a stock was worked up. Irvin
Bertcrmann, when blooms were first
oflfered him, pronounced it an excellent
thing and predicted a wide popularity in
the trade as soon as the variety should
become generally available; he insisted
that a large stock of seeds should be
worked up before Conway & Co. let the
variety go out of their hands. The flower
is pure white, of large size and good
shape, showing no open centers in a large
field of plants. The time of blooming is
from midseason to late, and it usually
is the late asters that realize the best
prices.

THE NEW DIRECTORS.

It hardly would be possible for Presi-
dent Traendly to have picked out two
better known men as his appointees to
the executive board at the S. A. F. John
Young is as widely known as any man
in the trade in the east. Not only has

he spent many years in active work as
a wholesale florist in New York city, but
he has served for years and years as
secretary of the New York Florists'
Club, his popularity being such that,
coupled with his eflSciency, the members
never have thought of a change.

George Asmus, the western appointee,
has served for the last half dozen years
as manager of the Chicago flower shows
and as such has made a record for effi-
ciency which places him at the head of
exhibition managers of this country. He
is no less indefatigable in his work for
the affairs of the Chicago Florists ' Club,
the Illinois State Florists' Association
and many of his other trade connections.
He not only has been a regular attendant
at the S. A. F. convention and partici-
pant in it? work, but he has been a lead-
ing spirit among the bowling element,
which President Stewart in his annual
address said was of such paramount im-
portance to the society.

Popularity of Pot Plants.

One more Christmas has come and
gone. We trust it was a profitable one
for the many readers of the Keview and
that their benches of salable pot plants
were well cleaned out. The great holi-
day once more showed the striking popu-
larity of pot plants as Christmas gifts.
It would certainly seem that Easter and
Christmas are becoming the plant grow-
ers' two best selling periods, and another
year will probably note a still further
advance in the popularity of well-grown
pot plants.

The Christmas sales should have made
some bench room for bedding and other
stock, which has been cramped for some
time. Give your little geraniums more
space and spread out all plants coming
along for spring sales. In the general
clearance of left-over stock, be sure to
reserve -enough for your needs another
season. Poinsettias will be mostly cut.
Lay the pots or pans under a bench on
their sides, in a house kept at 45 to 50
degrees at night. They will need no
water or attention until May. If your
stock was grown in boxes or benches,
take up a number of roots and plant
thickly in other boxes and stand in a
frost-proof shed or any dry building un-
til wanted. Lorraine begonias will be, or
should be, sold out pretty well. Do not
forget to reserve sufficient plants to pro-
Nnde stock for propagation. Do not keep
all the poorest stock for this purpose.
It pays to take cuttings from strong,
healthy plants. Keep these in a tem-
perature of 50 degrees. You cannot do
any propagating now; later, however,
you will get all you want.

Any azaleas or camellias unsold should
have the flowers picked off. Give them
a warm, moist house to make their growth
in and syringe twice a day in bright
weather. Move to cooler quarters as
growth advances. These will flower fine-
ly for you another season and earlier
than what you may import. The com-
monplace but ever useful stovia should

not be forgotten; half a dozen pots will
provide all the plants you will need. Cut
them down and hold in a cold house for

at least a couple of months before propa-
gating.

Seed Sowing.

January is a cold month, but the days
are lengthening quite perceptibly and old
Sol's power is again slowly increasing.
The coldest months in the year are the
best for propagating purposes, as there
is a steady bottom heat in the benches
and less fluctuation in atmospheric con-
ditions. While cuttings root better un-
der such conditions, seeds of many kinds
also germinate very satisfactorily. It is
yet too early to start seeds of any bed-
ding plants, but if you want to get some
fine plants of gloxinias and tuberous be-
gonias, a start can be made at once. As
the seeds of both of these plants are very
tiny, they should be sown on the surface
of the soil in pans or flats which had
been previously watered. A light scat-
tering of fine sand over the seeds is all
the covering required. Dracaena congesta
and D. Australis, Grevillea robusta and
Aralia Sieboldii may all be sown now,
and if kept in a warm, moist house, with
a temperature of 65 to 70 degrees at
night, good seed can hardly fail to germi-
nate. Avoid the use of animal or chem-
ical manures in soil for seeds. Plenty of
leaf-mold is the safest medium.

Propagation.

Cuttings of crotons, dracsenas, dieffen-
bachias and other fine foliaged plants
will now root easily in a brisk bottom
heat. If the sand is kept moist and they
are screened from the sun's rays, very
few will fail. Most of the country flo-

lists need a big stock of variegated vinca
for vases and piazza boxes. Now is a
good time to insert a good batch of cut-
tings. The young shoots springing from
the base of your old stock plants will
root much more quickly than the more
matured wood. Hydrangea cuttings
taken now can be grown into nice sal-
able plants for Memorial day trade.
Hydrangeas which were recently started
will be throwing a good crop of side
shoots. Inserting a batch of these will
insure fine plants for next year's sales.
If you are short of lemon scented ver-
benas and heliotropes, put your old plants
in heat and they will soon give plenty of
nice soft cuttings. If you kept over
some old coleus plants, these will very
likely be crowded with mealy bugs; bet-
ter get in a good batch of cuttings and
consign the old stock to the rubbish heap.
Your old plants of bedding geraniums
should also now furnish a crop of stocky
cuttings. Insert these in 2-inch or 2^^-
inch pots of light, sandy soil. Place in
a bench over hot water pipes or steam
pipes. Water well and then allow to dry
out before applying more. This is bet-
ter than putting the cuttings in a sand
bed, where a large proportion would un-
doubtedly damp off.

Lilies.

It is still a long cry to Easter, as that
festival is quite late in 1908, but the
florist must needs be on the alert now
if he wants his lilies in prime condition
by April 18. If the plants are four to
six inches high and are kept at 50 to 55
degrees at night, they are all right. Those
just coming through the soil will need a
warmer house for at least a time. Do
not allow the plants to crowd one an-
other. Throw away any sickly or dis-
eased ones. Drop some tobacco dust on
the tops of the shoots as a preventive
of green aphis and, to make doubly sure,
fumigate once a week, L. candidum, if
wanted in flower before Easter, may now
be given a night temperature of 45 to 50
degrees. It will not tolerate any hard
forcing. L. Harrisii comes in very use-
ful all through the winter. It should
have 60 degrees at night, and the flowers
are better cut before becoming too fully
expanded.

Miscellaneous Bulbous Stock.

Most of the Dutch bulbous stock will
now be well sprouted and such standard
varieties as La Reine tulip and Golden
Spur and Von Sion narcissi can be
brought in every few days. The tulips
will be very short-stemmed unless drawn
up well in a warm, dark place before be-
ing placed in the light. The narcissi do
not require as warm treatment as the
tulips; 70 to 75 degrees at night will
give the latter the necessary fillip, where-
as 10 to 15 degrees lower will suit nar-
cissi better. Hyacinths are also now well
started and if kept in a warm, dark
place until four inches high will give
satisfactory results. Be sure to give suf-
ficient water to all bulbs being forced
tor remember the pots are full of roots
and dryness will quickly spoil your
chances of a good crop of flowers.

Freesias.

You will now have cut some of your
oar best batch, if the bulbs were planted
early and the plants were treated as ad-
vised m previous issues. Freesia flowers
are very welcome at midwinter. They
rnake a pleasing change from the always
present roses and carnations. In a cJt
state they last well and all the flower

buds open. Certainly no bulbous plant
has a more delicious fragrance. As you
finish cutting your crop do not neglect
the plants, as you will want to use your
bulbs again. Give them a shelf, if pos-
sible, for a few weeks and keep well
watered until the bulbs are matured;
then gradually reduce the supply. We
have frequently seen the boxes and pans
stood under the benches out of the way
as soon as the flowers were cut. Here
they became soddened and what might
have been fine bulbs for another season
were simply ruined. Keep successional
batches well supplied with water, not
forgetting a little liquid manure. The
nearer they are to the light, the better
they will do, and the more substance the
flowers will have.

Brief Reminders.

Keep the antirrhinums in benches se-
curely staked and do not forget to dis-
bud the flowering shoots.

If you have forgotten to make a sow-
ing of ten weeks' stock, do so now. Re-
member the best quality seed is always
the cheapest in the long run.

A batch of spiraeas can be placed in
heat at any time now. The newer and
dense flowering forms require a couple
of weeks longer to come into bloom than
the old S. Japonica.

Shamrocks for March 17 sales should
now be placed in little pots or pans.
Grow in a cool house.

Have you an ample supply of loam
under cover or within reach when zero
temperatures arrive? Do not be de-
ceived by prevailing Indian summer con-
ditions.

It is much too early to propagate
chrysanthemums for benching, but if
there are any kinds in which you want

to increase your stock it is time to make
a start.

Put a few azaleas in heat from time
to time where you have a demand for
flowering plants. Keep stock for Easter
just clear of freezing.

Keep stevia in flower in a cold houie.
If not allowed to go below 32 degrees,
it will be all right.

Sow schizanthus for late spring flower-
ing. There is no better sort than S.
Wisetoncnsis.

HAIL STORM AT NEW ORLEANS.

Sunday morning, December 22, at
about 3:30, there was a record breaking
rain and hail storm in New Orleans.
Really the hailstones were chunks of ice
as large as hens' eggs and rough, some
weighing half a pound, and breaking
glass a quarter of am inch thick. They
went through hotbed sash piled up six
deep. The downpour of rain was general
in and around New Orleans, but the hail
fell over a narrow strip along the upper
section and Metairie Ridge.

The Metairie Ridge Nursery Co. seems
to have been in the thickest of it and
suffered most. The probable damage to
glass and plants at this nursery is esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $5,000, with no
insurance. Harry Papworth, having car-
ried insurance since he established the
place nine years ago and never suffered
any loss, decided in the early part of the
year to discontinue the insurance.

CARNATION NOTES.- EAST.

Winter Airing or Ventilating.

Did you ever notice the peculiar state
of the atmosphere in a house early in the
morning, after a n^ht of hard firing?
While this cannot bd^id to be the result
of wrong treatment;- it is nevertheless a
condition which needs correcting by a
change of air.

Do not make it one of the night fire-
man's duties to- do this. Get around
yourself by sunrise" and, as soon as the
inside temperature begins to rise, put on
a very small crack of air at the ridge,
if only for three or four minutes, but
long enough to make a noticeable change
in the character of the atmosphere.
"Weather conditions-, may require this
crack of air to be left on, gradually
increasing the amount of ventilation as
occasion demands. ^.

Never allow the temperature to run
several degrees above the desired point
before raising the ventilators. Begin
early, proceed moderately and do not in-
dulge in ventilation of the explosive sort.
It may as well be admitted that my
object in the foregoing remarks is to
call particular attention to the fact that
the ventilators are not solely for the pur-
pose of controlling temperature, at the
same time endeavoring to make apparent
the importance of personal attention
early in the day. Anyone having suffi-
cient strength can manipulate a venti-
lator and can be taught to rely on a
thermometer for guidance, but that is
not all there is to ventilation. W^e must
avoid extreme temperature in either
direction, or sudden fluctuations. In
the early morning instance referred to
above, when we understand where airing
leaves off and control of temperature
begins, then we shall have begun to grasp
the subject. Geo S. Osborn.

RUST ON CARDINALS.

Please tell me what disease has af-
fected the enclosed carnation leaves. The
plants were affected when I got them.
The leaves are from .the Cardinal. Will
you tell me how best to destroy the dis-
ease? E. S. R.

Your Cardinal plants are troubled with
a bad case of the common carnation rust.
This is one of the most common and yet
one of the least feared diseases of the
many which attack the carnations. There
are few varieties which are entirely free
from its attacks unless handled carefully,
but yet there are few varieties which
suffer serious harm unkss the culture is
decidedly bad. Cardinal is one which
seems to be subject to this disease more
than the average and is seldom seen with-
out it, especially if the plants suffer much
of a check at any time. To get rid of it,
pick off all the rusty leaves and burn
them. Then dust the plants with sulphur
and lime in equal portions, or dust them
with grape dust. Keep the water off the

foliage as much as possible and reduce
the syringing down to a minimum as long
as no signs of red spider are visible.
Keep the atmosphere dry and crisp and
slightly charged with sulphur fumes.
Keep the plants growing as vigorously as
possible and they will soon fight off the
disease. A. F. J. B.

TOADSTOOLS IN BENCH SOILS.

I am having trouble with the soil on
my raised benches, carnation soil espe-
cially, as numbers of toadstools, some as
large as the palm of my hand, are con-
tinually springing up. I keep pulling
them out, but in a night they pop out
again somewhere else. What is the cause
of this and what shall I do to prevent it ?
The houses run east and west and the
sun has full play upon the benches. My
soil is one-third clay and two-thirds rich
black soil. When filling the benches we
put in first a thin layer of rotted cow
manure, as we always have done. The
only feed we have given them is lime and
manure water and we have only been
giving that about a month, while we have
been fighting the toadstools for three
months. My plants are not doing well
for some reason, and I think these toad-
stools are the reason. I have been par-
ticular as to temperature and ventilation.
My plants were housed about September
1 to 8. M. E. H.

If the toadstools, as you call them, are

the same as we often have come up in
our benches between the carnations, the
best and most profitable way of getting
rid of them is to eat them. Ours are a
variety of mushrooms and most likely
yours are the same. Be sure to ascertain
to a certainty, however, from some ex-
pert, before you use them, else you might
suffer severe ill effects. We never thought
they did any serious damage to the grow-
ing crop and your troubles most likely
spring from some other source. These
mushrooms, or toadstools, whichever they
are, grow from spawn which was in your
soil before it was put into the benches,
and do not form from any improper con-
dition of the soil, as you imagined. I
cannot tell you how to kill this spawn,
but if they are mushrooms, as they likely
are, I would consider them as an extra
crop and would make good use of them.
To the initiated there are few things
more toothsome than a mess of mush-
rooms, etc. A. F. J. B.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

The rate of a fare and one-third has
been again secured for the annual meet-
ing of this society, to be held in Wash-
ington, January 28 to 30.

This is on the certificate plan. All
you have to do is to be on hand about
fifteen or twenty minutes before your
train is due, ask the agent for a certifi-
cate for the meeting of the American
Carnation Society, pay full fare going
and you can then return for one-third of
a full fare.

As the 2-cent rate is in effect in quite
a number of states, this will make a
very cheap rate for this meeting and no
carnation grower who consults his own
interests can afford to miss it.

Premium lists have been mailed to alJ
of the members. Any one who wishes
a copy can obtain one by applying.

FUNERAL WORK.

Wreaths of Galax Leaves.

The wreaths described in my notes,
page 5 of the Eeview for December 26,
by no means completes the variety of
wreaths that can be made up of all flow-
ers, but we will drop these for a time
and learn something about some of the
other styles of the more common
wreaths.

First we will consider those common-
ly known as galax wreaths. These have
several redeeming features. In the first
place, there is no funeral design that
will net the florist a better profit or
give more universal satisfaction. When
stock is scarce you can often fall back
on galax leaves and with a few dozen
flowers make up a pretty wreath. An-
other good feature is the short notice
upon which such a wreath can be made up.

The most simple form is a wreath of
all leaves. Every florist has his own
style for a galax wreath, or any other

wreath, for that matter, and naturally
each thinks his the best and most artistic.
Some are the best only as far as the
money made on one is concerned, but
if you care to hold your trade, then do
not be too stingy with the leaves. To
make a nice wreath of galax leaves, but
of a small size, say a 14-inch to 16-incb
frame, first pick out some of the largest
leaves and fasten them to the moss vnth
fern pins; then stem about 100 to 150
leaves, each one to a toothpick, leaving the
stem of the leaf about two inches and a
half long. Begin by running around the
outer and inner edges of the wreath, and
then fill in between these, giving your
design a nice round shape, and be care-
ful to leave an opening in the center of
the wreath. A bow of ribbon of white,
dark red or lavender color will add much
to the appearance of the whole.

The wreath just described is suitable
to use in place of or with door-crape,
or to lay upon a grave, and often it may
even be sent to a funeral house.

When it is desired to make a large

u

wreath, say an 18-inch frame or larger,
then it is a good plan to wire two leaves
to one pick. Pick up two leaves, pref-
erably of different sizes, place the small
leaf upon the larger, but of course pro-
jecting out over it several inches; then
with your knife cut the stems off evenly
about one inch long, or below the large
leaf, and wire the two to the toothpick.
By making the wreath of leaves stemmed
in this manner you will procure a much
more airy effect. Many florists shine
the galax leaves with oil, but in my es-
timation this gives them too much of an
artificial appearance.

Galax and Flowers. I

"When your order calls for a galax'
wreath with flowers you make the wrfeath ,
in about the same way, leaving a space
for the flowers at one side. A good plan
is to start the leaves at one place and;
work in each direction and, as you draw
near to the side opposite your starting
point, leave a space about one-quarter
the size of the wreath. Of course, the
moss must be covered with leaves laid
flat.

Before going any farther, let us just
size up the different flowers that will go
well with galax leaves. We will consider
the bronze leaves first, as these are used
most. With these lavender or purple
flowers, red roses or crimson carnations,
roses of the Sunrise type, white flowers
of any kind, or the brown or bronze
types of mums, go nicely. With the
green, of course, almost any flower will
harmonize nicely, but I prefer pink or
white. You can also use a combination
of flowers to good advantage. Bichmond
roses and vaBey, for instance, make a
very pleasing combination, with Aspara-
gus plumosus or adiantum for green.

When the leaves are in place, first
pin a few sprays of the green on the
space left for the flowers; have an extra
fine spray lying over the leaves on each
side. Then stem some of the more open
roses and stick them in between the
green; the tighter flowers should be on
longer stems and should extend a little
over the tops of the leaves. The valley
should be stemmed and arranged loose-
ly in between the roses, along with some
of the valley foliage. Now, there are
many ways of arranging these same fiow-
ers on a galax wreath. For instance, in-
stead of arranging the lily of the valley
in between the roses, have each flower
separate; that is, the roses on one side
and the valley on the other; this makes
a very pretty effect. Another pretty
scheme is to face the flowers all to one
end. Beginning with a few flowers at
one end of the space, you keep spread-
ing out until you end up in a bunch at
the other end; then tie a bow of rib-
bon at the finish, tying the bow cross-
wise. The galax wreath in the illustra-
tion 13 of this style.

You can elaborate on these wreaths by
using some cycas in between the flowers,
but 1 prefer the galax alone with the
flowers.

Ivy leaves are used in much the same
way as the galax leaves; in fact, they
make a more artistic wreath, but, of
course would cost more. The ivy leaves
should be cleaned with a piece of cot-
ton batting and a little sweet oil before
using. Use just enough of the oil to
procure a dull gloss. H g

is more effective than the proper use of
the show window. An attractive display
frequently changed is an asset for any
florist who is located on a generally
traveled thoroughfare. Not only should
artistic displays be made, but also sea-
sonable and special ones, which will
prove probably the most effective of them
all, as in the illustration on page 6,
which is from the photograph of the
Hallowe 'en window at the store of Joseph
H. Seaman & Co., Washington, Pa. Oak
leaves, cornstajks, pumpkins and apples
were used, with mums and roses. The
little faces in the front were light with
small electric globes and altogether it
made not only an attractive but a busi-
ness-getting window. Mr. Philips, the
decorator, who is a member of the firm,
is shown in the picture.

GREEN GOODS IN CALIFORNIA.

The demand that has been created by
the public love for green goods in and
around San I'rancisco has induced many
of the retailers to devote a considerable
space of their stores and a goodly por-
tion of their time to handling the vari-
ous phases of it. Several years ago no
dealer would think of handling some of
the articles that are now looked on as
perfectly consistent with a well regu-
lated business.

Even Christmas trees, long looked on
as a rather cheap adjunct, are now reg-
ularly enrolled among the Christmas as-
sets and these furnish not a little to the
pecuniary success of the season.

Eodwood wreaths in large bunches,

sold by the out-of-town green goods men,
are largely bought up by the public, who
until the last year or two only expected
to find them on sale by the hucksters or
in some vacant store improvised for the
holiday trade. Garland of the same ma-
terial has been used lavishly in the dec-
oration of stores and homes and the flo-
rists have been called on to supply the
bulk of it, either directly or through
sonic of the country dealers.

But the California redberry is the
kingpin of all the Christmas goods and
it is almost incredible what quantities
are disposed of. Ten years ago such an
article was never thought of and when
one of our leading dealers told me that
he had handled over forty tons during
one week of this winter's holidays, it
gave an idea of what this trade amounts
to. Formerly these were also handled by
small boys and hucksters, but all the
dealers now devote considerable space
and time to them. They are of extra
quality this season and the public taste
has become so well educated even with
reference to this article that only the-
largest and brightest colored are consid-
ered worth handling.

Madrone berries have been used to a
pertain extent in large decorations, where
they can be used to some advantage, but
for small bunches they have to take sec-
ond place. They do not keep as well as
the ordinary redberry.

Huckleberry has taken the place of
almost everything in the way of a cheap
green decoration in the vicinity of San
Francisco and thousands of bunches of

it are sold daily by the wholesale deal-
■ere. It is in season all the year and is
as popular at one time as at another.

The common marsh or fango grass is
another decorative article that has come
to stay, and no dealer pretends to do
business without it. It is cheap, lasting
and graceful and can be used in any
number of ways.

Some good English holly from Wash-
ington and British Ck)lumbia was seen
in San Francisco during the holidays,
but there is practically none of it grown
there and it is expensive for the retailer
to handle. It has usually been picked
such a long time that the leaves fall off
it after it is exposed for a short while
and then it ceases to be a thing of
beauty. There is some California grown
holly, but our trees are usually not old
enough to produce many berries and, on
account of our dry summers, the leaves
are usually not up to the bright, green,
glossy color to be had from those locali-
ties where an abundance of moisture in-
sures a healthy, vigorous growth. Ci.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

Surprise Gift Box.

The patent suprise gift box, designed
by Charles Henry Fox, is one of the most
unique arrangements ever conceived for
flowers and has met with the greatest
success in novel creations in flower art,
for which the Sign of the Rose is gaining
an enviable reputation. It was patented
in October, 1905, and is now shown for
the first time. Mr. Fox expects to put it
on the market and give the trade the
benefit of this novel invention early in
1908.

The first view shows the box as de-
livered, unopened ; in the second view
the box is half opened, showing how per-
fectly the sides fall in place and display
the flowers; and the third view pictures
a perfect table decoration. The ground-
work is a point-lace doily. In the center
is a crushed hat filled with Liberty roses.
A more expensive one may be filled with
cattleyas or gardenias. The four bunches
of violets are so arranged that they can
be taken ofif and worn, used as favors.
This bit of arrangement is charming for
a theater party dinner or a card party,

and can be shipped anywhere in perfect
safety.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Christmas, 1907, is now ancient his-
tory, but it is history thsft is gratifying,
better than was anticipated and gener-
ally satisfactory to all concerned from
the florists' standpoint, grower, retailer
and wholesaler all having- had occasion
to make merry, and all are ready to de-
clare they had much to be thankful for.
There never was grander Christmas
weather; the productions of the plants-
men never were more perfect; the prices
for cut flowers never were more reason-
able for the holiday, and the majority

of the retailers never cleaned up so thor-
oughly and satisfactorily. So what bet-
ter memory than this with which to be-
gin the Happy New Year? May its
happiness and prosperity make for flori-
culture the greatest year in all its his-
tory.

For Christmas there was not much
pickling. Everything that was good sold
rapidly and satisfactorily to the whole-
salers. The all-night session was never
uninteresting, and by noon on Christmas
day there floated up into the sunny sky
a song of jubilee. Everything was sold
in the wholesale cut flower markets, the
plantsmen were depleted, and even the
retailers had disposed of every hand-
some plant and flower. The prices esti-
mated in the letter of a week ago were
realized; occasionally for the selected
stock a little higher figure was obtained.
But a fair average top for the popular
flowers was: $1 for Beauties, 10 cents
for carnations, $1 for violets, 75 cents
for orchids, and 25 cents for Maid, Kil-
larney, Chatenay and Richmond.

Since Christmas the warm and unseas-
onable weather has continued. Sunday
reminded one of May. Everybody has
the grippe, or will have it, if the promised
cold snap does not soon arrive. We are
ready for winter and we have not had a
breath of it to date. Before we are wide
awake Easter will be here. In less than
twelve weeks the plantsmen will com-
mence their deliveries. Already they
are planning and the new plant market
brings together the best of the experts
in friendly rivalry and mutually bene-
ficial consultation.

This market proved a great conven-
ience to retailers the week before Christ-
mas, especially when journeys to head-
quarters became impossible. Many a
load was sold and all the exhibitors
seemed to be doing their share in the
general distribution. The veteran grow-
ers believe the plant market will be more
and more appreciated as the season ad-
vances and that it has come to stay.

ber 21, as was expected. The supplies
became again normal and the usual dull-
ness of the waning holiday season pre-
vailed. Beauties fell to 60 cents, car-
nations to 8 cents, Maids to 12 cents,
orchids to 60 cents, and violets to 75
cents and under. Beductions were in
order all along the line, and the usual
level of midwinter prices was estab-
lished.

Various Notes.

W. F. Kasting was a guest of Presi-
dent Traendly December 22. They de-
voted a part of the day to fraternal and
pastoral visitation, giving the carnation
specialists, Dailledouze Bros., and the
Cottage Gardens Co. their special con-
sideration.

The wholesale houses were as usual
generous in their Christmas remem-
brances to their employees, the majority
of bequests being made in cash. Mr.
Reidel seems to have drawn the high
number, however, his employer, A. J.
(Juttman, putting in his stocking a trip
to Europe. Mr. Guttman has issued a
handsome Christmas calendar.

Among the happy retailers of the city
was John J. Foley, of the Bowery, who
tells me the Christmas trade was good
on that ancient thoroughfare and that
the demand for his floral album, con-
taining photographs of his unique and
artistic handiwork, is coming from every
state in the Union.

W. H. Bostwick, of Staten Island, one
of the leading members of the Richmond
County Agricultural Society, died at his
home last week of heart failure. He
was an enthusiastic horticulturist and
enjoyed the respect of all. The funeral
was largely attended.

The sincere sympathy of the trade and
of his many friends is tendered W. H.
Gunther in the loss of his wife Decem-
ber 24. Mrs. Gunther was universally
beloved and a wealth of floral tributes
from Mr. Gunther 's wholesale associates

and friends attested the great "regret
felt by all. Mrs. Gunther leaves a daugh-
ter of seventeen and a baby girl. The
funeral took place at Woodlawn ceme-
tery, December 27.

James McDonnell, formerly with Scal-
len, has graduated into business on his
own account, with headquarters at 44
West Twenty-eighth street.

Twin A. Smith, of Woodside, displayed
the early tulips of the season, at the
Cut Flower Exchange, for Christmas.
Incidentally he won the 20-pound turkey
at the yearly raffle, which his father,
Charles Smith, of Bound Brook, N. J.,
claimed, the twins not yet being of age.
The second turkey was won by another
Schmitt, so that one may safely say the
Smiths are the people. The rumor that
Mr. Smith had distributed the big tur-
key to his patrons in sandwich form
proved unfounded.

W. N. Eudd, of Chicago, secretary of
the S. A. F., was in the city December
21 on his way home from the Philadel-
phia meeting, where gathered a notable
assembly, including Messrs. Stewart,
Traendly, Kasting, Beatty, Elliott, Far-
quhar, Hallock, Westcott, Craig and
Harris. The new directors, Messrs. John
Young, of New York, and George As-
mus, of Chicago, represent the highest
type of the young, loyal, aggressive and
experienced element of the national so-
ciety and their appointment will give
universal satisfaction.

January 13 is the first meeting night
of the New York Florists' Club for 1908.
President Weathered will be in the chair
and a night of great interest and ap-
propriate celebration is anticipated. Ex-
hibits will be welcome and this early
notice should give ample time to prepare
them.

Mackintosh, the well known Broadway
retailer, is in bankruptcy. The liabili-
ties are $8,000 and the assets $5,000.
The business will be continued by Mrs.

Mackintosh, James Meehan, manager.
Mr. Mackintosh is ill in a sanitarium.

BOSTON,

The Christmas Market.

While it cannot be said that Christmas
trade once more broke all records, busi-
ness was satisfactory, much better than
could have been expected, and both
wholesalers, growers and retailers seem
well satisfied with business transacted,
and it was only to be expected that there
would be considerable stock unsold on
Christmas eve. The quantity was less,
however, than seemed probable early in
the day. Some retailers state that their
business was better than a year ago, one
claiming that he did fifty per cent more.

The demand for good flowering plants
was excellent. Azaleas were not in
heavy supply except in the case of the
bright little Hexe, or Firefly, as it is
locally known, as it sold well. Lor-
raine begonias were abundant. Many of
the plants were quite poor and were left
over, but good stock cleaned out well.
Poinsettias seemed to be overdone, many
of the plants being almost minus foliage.
Berried hollies, ardisias, solanums and
well fruited Otaheite oranges took well.
Cyclamens found a good sale and there
was a fair call for pans of bulbouj
stock. Nephrolepis ferns had a good
call and fern dishes sold well.

Some special Beauties got up to the
dollar mark, but the demand for this
rose did not equal that of former years.
On the other hand, Bichmond and Lib-
erty sold splendidly, the best making
$50 per hundred. Killarney was also
popular, some making $4 per do^^, at
which price a number of Chatenay^ride
and Maid changed hands. Boses were
not overabundant and sold quite satis-
factorily. There was a tremendous out-
put of carnations, in spite of talk about

their being off crop. The highest price
heard of was $14 per hundred. Beacon,
Victory, Eobert Craig, Fenn, Octoroon
and other scarlets and crimsons made
$10 to $12. If of good quality, Enchant-
ress and other pink sorts made from $6
to $10, while whites dropped as low as
$4. Of course, many flowers were sold
at lower prices, but these were not first-
class flowers. "Violets did uncommonly
well. The majority made $1.50, a few
reaching $2. Ordinary flowers cleared
at $1.

Lily of the valley, Koman hyacinths,
Paper Whites and yellow narcissi were
all rather druggy. Poinsettias were
plentiful enough, but many were small.
They did not sell as well as usual. Eas-
ter lilies and callas were in fair supply
and advanced but little. The demand
for greenery was unprecedented and all
dealers in it had a heavy trade.

Since Christmas the market has been
rather quiet. Prices have weakened some-
what, due in large measure to so many
flowers arriving, owing to the warm
weather. Carnations vary from $3 to $6.
Violets have dropped back to 75 cents
and $1. Bulbous stock goes slowly.
Roses are not in heavy supply and are
selling quite well. Poinsettias are now
almost unsalable.

Various Notes.

The sad tragedy in which Mr. and
Mrs. John Clark and family of three
children perished December 26 has ex-
cited much sympathetic interest among
the trade, in which Mr. Clark was widely
and favorably known. There was a
large representation of seedsmen and
florists at the funeral services.

Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham, is
one of the largest growers of Queen car-
nations for the Boston market, having
over 25,000 plants of that popular white
variety. Beacon, Winsor and other novel-
ties are all doing well with Mr. Chris-
tensen.

Both Welch Bros, and H. M. Robinson
& Co. report Christmas trade as beyond
their expectations in volume.

S. J. Goddard, E. Sutermeister and
one or two other growers are bringing a
little freesia into the market.

From present indications there will
be an excellent delegation from Boston
and vicinity to the carnation convention
in Washington.

The annual inaugural meeting of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society will
take place January 4. The early winter
exhibition will be held January 25.

W. H. Ward, of Montvale, as usual,
is sending in some extra fine carnations,
to the sale of which Mrs. Ward devotes
part of her time.

The week ending December 28 was an
abnormally mild one and the daily press
contains numerous references to dande-
lions, lilacs bursting their buds and
other premature signs of spring.

A feeling of optimism pervades the
trade here and all look forward to 1908
being their banner year.

Christmas Trade*

Reports from the different retailers
on holiday trade are far more gratifying
than expected, nearly all of them being
more than satisfied. The wholesalers
also did a fine business, cleaning up
everything in color with the exception of
a few poinsettias. White carnations and

Roman hyacinths went rather slowly, but
found a stronger market the day after
Christmas. Roses were short in supply
and sold at from 6 cents to 20 cents.
Carnations were received in large quanti-
ties, bringing from 4 cents to 10 cents.
The demand for violets was exceptionally
heavy, a larger quantity being moved
than ever before. Quantities of fine lilies
were to be had, and sold well at $2.50 per
dozen. Sweet peas, stevias, Paper Whites
and valley were all in heavy supply and
were moved at good prices. There seemed
to be a heavy call for all kinds of fine
potted plants, among which there were a
great many azaleas, Lorraine begonias,
decorated araucarias and different varie-
ties of ferns.

Various Notes.

C. M. Wagner, of Euclid avenue, re-
ports Christmas trade as very gratifying
in his new store, having had a heavy call
for fine decorative plants of all kinds.
He also ^ays holiday trade wanted a fine
grade of stock this season.

Westman & Getz report a fifty per cent
increase in trade for the holidays, having
moved quantities of made up baskets,
consisting of dracsenas, crotons and dif-
ferent varieties of ferns.

Milford Parks has been on the sick list
the last week, with a siege of the grippe.

John Kirchner, of Quincy avenue, has
been very busy with a heavy run of fu-
neral work.

The J. M. Gasser Co. reports both
wholesale and retail trade as good for the
holidays.

Aniirews Bros., of Lakewood, are send-
ing in a fine cut of carnations to the
Cleveland Cut Flower Co.

A. Graham made a specialty of large
boxwood wreaths that were very beauti-
ful and sold well. He also had a fine lot
of poinsettias in pans.

The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. handled
over 25,000 carnations for Christmas, as
well as the same quantity of violets.

Knoble Bros, had a fine Christmas
trade, with a heavy call for the best of
everything in the cut flower line. B.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

Christmas Trade.

Christmas trade was good. Prices were
high and the weather for delivery was
grand. Carnations were none too plen-
tiful. They brought from $1 to $1.25
per dozen retail. Violets were at a
premium. They sold for $2 and $3 per
hundred retail and the demand was good.
Roses brought $3 per dozen retail;
Paper White narcissi, 60 cents per
dozen.

The funeral of a prominent mill man
Christmas week called for a large quan-
tity of flowers. Add to this a coming
out party, and the florists were taxed to
the limit.

There was a good assortment of holi-
day plants, such as azaleas, primroses,
cyclamens, begonias, etc. E, H. Cham-
berlain had some nice Firefly azaleas,
also a magnificent display of Lorraine
begonias, which sold like hot cakes. There
was a good demand for wreaths, etc.,
prices ranging from 25 cents to $2. Well
berried holly was rather scarce.

Various Notes.

S. S. Peckham, of Fairhaven, had a
heavy cut for Christmas. Cleary, the
Pleasant street florist, handled the entire
cut. Mr. Peckham is a carnation spe-
cialist. He grows some 12,000 plants.

He will root lieavily for the trade the
coming season. He thinks a great deal
of Jahn's new white, Lloyd. Speaking
of Mr. Jahn reminds me that he has
two or three third-year seedlings which
are promising. One, a white, is a cross
of Lawson and Queen and looks to be a
winner. He has about 1,000 plants of
these. Another, a dark one, is a magni-
ficent variety both in size, stem and habit.
This is also in its third year. Another
is a bright red, a grand color, and easily
goes ahead of Victory, besides being a
much freer bloomer than that variety.
Growers around here intend to give his
new white, Lloyd, a good test. Many of
them have bought heavily of it.

We are having mild weather of late,
which is very good for the coal bill.

H. T. Reynolds & Co. will go out of
business.

A. B. Hathaway had a good cut of
violets for Christmas and realized good
prices for them.

J. H. Cleary had some nice pans of
Roman hyacinths and a big display of
Christmas plants. W. L.

street, died at his home in Webster
Groves, Saturday evening, December 28,
at six o'clock. He was ill eight months.
The funeral took place Tuesday, Decem-
ber 31, from his late residence, to Belle-
fontaine cemetery.

Mr. Plant was 87 years old and was
born in Lancaster, now Clinton, Mass.
He attended Yale from 1843 to 1847,
being one of the oldest of Yale's alumni.
He was in Europe in 1850, when he vis-
ited the first world's fair in London. In
1853 he returned to St. Louis and in
1856 he entered the employ of Plant
Bros., seedsmen, eventually becoming the
head of the firm.

One son survives, Frederick S. Plant,
for some years the active manager of the
Plant Seed Co., and a member of the
St. Louis Florists' Club.

Everett B. Clark.

Everett B. Clark, president of the
Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Milford,
Conn., died at noon December 23 at
Darlington, S. C, where his wife and he
had stopped for a month previous to
going to Florida for the winter. He
was 64 years of age and a kinder, more
generous or more considerate man never
lived. He was of stanch New England
stock and served his country well during
the civil war. He returned to start his
career with a capital which consisted of
debts. For thirty years he worked as
few men have worked, days leading the
best of his men in the heaviest toil on his
seed farms, nights doing all of his own
office work. In this way he paid debts,
acquired surrounding farms and bnilt up
a reputation as a seed grower. His sons,
Frederick M. and Arthur B., have taken
up his work, for during the last few
years he has chosen to withdraw from
active participation in the business, and
many are the times they have heard:
' ' You young men will have to strive hard
to live up to the reputation established
by your father," or "If you use us as
well as your father always has, we shall
be well pleased. ' ' Another incentive the
sons have had was the pleasure given
their father by the growth and develop-

ment of the business. Many are the bits
of advice he has given since withdrawing
from active business, such words of cau-
tion as, "Now, boys, don't go in farther
than you can wade, "or more often the
homely expression, "Don't bite off more
than you can chew." This was not to
hinder growth but to safeguard it, for
never did a man love a business more
than Mr. Clark loved the business which
he built up. To the last day of his life
he kept in close touch with every transac-
tion of importance and had a deep living
interest in every detail of the business.

He was one of the charter members of
the American Seed Trade Association,
was once its president and always up to
within recent years active in its work. He
served the Union honorably; he served
his town and state conscientiously, both
iu private and in public whenever public
responsibility was placed upon him; he
served his wife and family always in a
most exemplary manner as a devoted
husband and a fond father.

Mrs. W. H. Gunther.

Mrs. Gunther, wife of W. H. Gunther,
well known wholesale florist in New York
city, died December 24, leaving a daugh-
ter only a few hours old. Mr. Gunther
has the sympathy of a wide circle of ac-
quaintances in the trade.

Arthur B. Howard.

Arthur B. Howard, one of the best
known seed and fruit growers in central
Massachusetts, died at his home in Bel-
chcrtown, December 20, in his seventieth
year. He had been in poor health and
confined to his bed by spells for a year
or more, but able to be around on his
place and do light work at other times.
He was born in Belchertown, June, 1838,
and lived practically all his life on the
place where he died. He was married
September 1, 1874, to Miss Minnie
Chandler, of his native town, who died
about eight years ago. He leaves a son,
Everett C, who has been in company
with his father, and a daughter, Naomi,
who also always lived at home.

Arthur B. Howard was a man of strong
personality, strict integrity, untiring en-
ergy and an enthusiastic horticulturist.
While in his late teens he lived for about
two years in the Oneida community, at
Oneida, N. Y., and it was there that he
got his brief horticultural education,
which served him well in later years. He
was much more than a mere commercial
grower, for he was the originator of
many fine varieties of flowers and fruits.
His new verbenas and zinnias have be-
come popular, while his new Star petunia,
introduced seven years ago, is now cata-
logued by nearly all seedsmen in this
country and Europe and is one of the
best of bedding petunias.

His ideals were high and he was never
satisfied with a new variety until it was
worked up to as near perfection as it
was possible to make it, which took many
years of time. The Star petunia is a
go(.(l example of what can be done in
producing new and improved varieties by
•selection and breeding and should be an
mcentive to others in like lines of work
His object at the outset was to produce
a first-class bedding variety of a dark
crimson color, with a distinct white star
in tlie center, with the undesirable purple
entirely eliminated. Taking the common
purple and white variety, he worked on it
twenty years before these characteristics
were fixed so as to come true.

Mr. Howard was one of the oldest and
most suooessfnl fruit growers in his sec-

tion, being the first to grow the straw-
berry for market, over fifty years ago,
when the "Wilson was young. During the
last twenty-five years he grew and fruited
over 10,000 seedling strawberries from
crosses of the best sorts, striving to pro-
duce the ideal berry. Some of these
proved so much more profitable with him
than any of the named varieties that he
grew them almost exclusively for market.
More of them were being disseminated,
as he prepared to keep them for his
own use. He also grew the apple, pear
and peach largely. He was a regular ex-
hibitor of his products at fairs and his
exhibits were awarded about 2,000 pre-
miums during the last thirty years. He
often served as judge at other fairs. He
was a frequent contributor to agricul-
tural and horticultural papers. The busi-
ness will be continued by his son, Ever-
ett C, who is also an expert and enthu-
siastic horticulturist. L. W. G.

R. H. Warder.

Beuben H. Warder, superintendent of
Lincoln park, Chicago, and secretary of
the park board, died December 26 in his
apartments at 50 St. James' place. Mr.
Warder had been ill for the last eight
months, but performed the duties of his
office until December 24, when he was
compelled to take to his bed.

Mr. Warder was born in Cincinnati in
1843. He was the son of J. H. Warder,
himself a famous horticulturist. He
came to Chicago to accept the position
in the park in June, 1901. He had filled
the same position in the parks of Cin-
cinnati and other cities. He became
active in the affairs of the Horticultural
Society of Chicago and was one of its
vice-presidents at the time of his death.
Mr. Warder is survived by a brother,
John H. Warder, secretary of the West-
ern Society of Engineers, and one sis-
ter. The body was taken to Cincinnati
for interment.

John Clark.

John Clark, salesman and traveler for
H. E. Fiske Co., Boston, lost his life in
a particularly sad tragedy early on the
morning of December 26. Mr. Gark,
who resided in a new house somewhat re-
cently purchased in Watertown, with his
wife and three children, aged respective-
ly 7 years, 4 years and 12 months, re-
tired moderately early on Christmas
night. Neighbors noticed volumes of
smoke coming from the roof about one
o'clock. The Belmont and Watertown
fire brigades were hurriedly summoned
and responded as speedily as possible,
and firemen forced their way into the
sleeping rooms in spite of the dense
smoke. The whole family were found
to be dead from suffocation. The police
believe that a cat upset a lighted lamp
and started the blaze and as all the win-
dows were tightly closed, there was no
egress for the smoke.

Mr. Clark was 44 years of age, hailing
from near Glasgow, and came to Amer-
ica about twelve years ago, working suc-
cessively for Peter Henderson & Co.,
New York, and Joseph Breck & Son, T.
J. Grey & Co., W. W. Rawson & Co., and
the H. E. Fiske Co., by all of whom he
was held in high esteem. He was well
known at the Boston flower markets and
was acquainted with a large proportion
of the florists of New England, among
whom his geniality won many friends.
Mr. Clark belonged to the Masonic fra-
ternity among other fraternal bodies.
He had been for some years a member
of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of

Boston, attending and speaking at the
last October meeting. His father, John
T. Clark, has been for many years at
the Botanic Gardens, Washington. A
brother is with the H. A, Dreer Co. and
one is in business at Philadelphia. The
sincere sympathy of a wide circle of
friends goes out to them in their sad
bereavement.

Funeral services for Mr. and Mrs.
Clark and family were held at the Water-
town cemetery December 29. There was
an immense attendance and the services
were most impressive and pathetic. There
were large delegations from the seed
trade, Gardeners ' and Florists * Club of
Boston and other bodies with which Mr.
Clark was identified, and all sent beau-
tiful floral pieces. The pathetic tragedy
cast a gloom over the trade in Boston,
especially coming, as it did, at a season
when it could least have been expected.

Myrtle Rosen&eld*

Myrtle Eosenfield, eldest daughter of
J. F. Eosenfield, of West Point, Neb.,
died in Bethany hospital, Omaha, De-
cember 16, of typhoid fever. She was
born February 8, 1887, and had taken
charge of the household affairs since her
mother's death. The bereaved family
has the sympathy of a host of friends.

DENVER.

The Market.

Christmas business was satisfactory,
and with few exceptions every florist re-
ports a larger volume of business than
for the corresponding period last year.

Weather conditions were good, with
the exception of a high wind on Monday,
which kept a few shoppers at home. The
stores were never more attractive than
this season. Plants always are a promi-
nent holiday feature, and this year they
were better than ever. Perhaps a reser-
vation might be made by excepting poin-
settias. Those, though good, were not
as generally excellent as they were last
year, not in color or in size of bracts.
There were exceptions, of course, and
some elegant plants were seen, but to
take them as a whole, they were not up
to last year's standard. Azaleas were
fairly plentiful and were finely flowered,
but there was perhaps a scarcity of me-
dium sized and priced plants. They sold
well and not many were left except in
large sizes. Cyclamens were everywhere.
On the whole, this stock was excellent.
White and crimson were the favorite col-
ors. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine as of-
fered was a fine plant. Take it all in
all, the plant trade was the best of any
season yet.

Carnations were plentiful enough to
fill all orders except in scarlet. The rul-
ing price the retailer received for carna-
tions was from $1 to $1.50 and $2 per
dozen and was the most called for flower
of any.

The quality and supply of roses were
good, the demand for red, . of course, be-
ing in excess of the supply. The prices
ranged from $2 to $4 per dozen for pink
and white, with a few selects at $5.
American Beauties were scarce. The
prices were not prohibitive, $5 to $20
per dozen.

Violets were another popular seller and
the quality was good, the supply equal-
ing the demand, retailing at $3 and $4
per hundred. Narcissi were somewhat
sought after on account of fragrance and
cheapness. E. S. K.

Happy New Year I

Now, let's all get busy.

An English firm has a white sport of
Dorothy Perkins rose.

"As the days begin to lengthen the
cold begins to strengthen." How is the
coal pilet

The twin cities of St. Paul and Min-
neapolis now have a florists' and gar-
deners' club and in due season will be
ready to entertain the S. A. F.

Wm. Cuthbertson, the new president
of the National Sweet Pea Society of
Great Britain, wants to add Americaus
to membership at $1 per annum.

It is worth while bearing in mind
that a business can advance only on its
own merits; the "other fellow's" de-
merits have nothing to do with the case.

Advertisers should promptly discon-
tinue an advertisement when it has done
its work. Use a telegram, if necessary,
to head off an insertion of your adver-
tisement after you have sold out of
stock.

The retail florists have advertised in
their local papers more liberally this
season than ever before and the whole
trade will profit by it, for only a small
percentage of the population appreciates
how appropriate flowers are as gifts.

An attractive Christmas specialty in
some of the first-class retail stores was
Biota aurea nana, usually shown in a red
receptacle, either a Porto Rican mat or,
in one instance, in bouquet boxes bright-
ly colored. The biota was best with
some red ribbon caught through the
branches.

A GREAT deal of the complaint which
arises over differences of opinion be-
tween buyer and seller as to what con-
stitutes "first-class stock" would be ob-
viated if the buyers would cease to be
guided by price cheapness in placing
orders. You never could, cannot, and
probably never will be able to get some-
thing for nothing.

SCXZIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Executive Committee Meeting;.

The postponed meeting of the board
of directors of the Society of American
Florists was held at Philadelphia Decem-
ber 20. Among those present were : Pres-
ident Wm. J. Stewart, Boston; President-
elect F. H. Traendly, New York; Treas-
urer H. B. Beatty, Pittsburg ; . Secretary
pro tem W. N. Budd, Morgan Park, 111. ;
W. F. Kasting, William H. Elliott, J, K.
M. L. Farquhar, E. V. Hallock, and those
of the Philadelphia contingent.

The business for 1907 was wound up
and unfinished business put in shape for
President Traendly, who became the offi-
cial head of the society on New Year's
day. Mr. Traendly announced that two
appointments to the board of directors
would be John Young, of New York city,
and George Asmus, Chicago. The society
has had a successful year and looks for-
ward to great things under the leadership
of President Traendly, with the conven-
tion at Niagara Falls in Augfust and the
national flower show at Chicago in No-
vember.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Since Christmas there has been a fair-
ly steady demand and the total of sales
has been satisfactory, but the supplies
of stock have been so heavy that prices
were not as well maintained as they
usually are between Christmas and New
Year's. Several large growers have
good crops of Beauty, especially long,
and Bichmond and Killarney are in
heavy crop with several houses. Bride
and Maid are of splendid quality, but not
in particularly large supply. Other roses
are to be had on all early orders.

The carnations seem to be catching
their stride and the long delayed crops
appear to be on. Carnations are abun-
dant and of splendid quality. Prices
are fair. Unless we get too much dark
weather, there will be no complaint of
shortage of carnations from now on.

Violets sold well for New Year's and
are of fine quality. All requirements can
be met with lilies, valley and bulbous
stock in general. Paper Whites are a
glut and selling even cheaper than last
year. Only a few tulips are seen as yet.
Sweet peas sell well, but the stems are
not yet long. An item which moves with
disappointing slowness is mignonette.
Stevia does fairly well, for the retail-
ers all use it in boxes and bouquets.

There continues to be an excellent de-
mand for green goods of all kinds, but
the market is well supplied.

The special demand for New Year's
did not develop to the extent that had
been hoped after the brilliant finish at
Christmas ; in fact, it looks as though the
New Year's business will be quite a
little less than a year ago, when it was
particularly good, however.

Christmas Aftermath.

After the wholesalers had rested up
from the Christmas rush and had a little
time for figuring, a general appearance
of satisfaction pervaded the market.
While there are some exceptions, most
houses report greater aggregate sales,
money value, than in the banner Christ-
mas of last year, and nearly everyone
says that the clean-up was exceptionally
good, even such little sought items as
Paper Whites selling out well.

Mention The Review when yon write.

There is one point on which all agree,
and that is that, quality for quality and
flower for flower, prices were consider-
ably lower than last year. This appears
to have been especially true of carna-
tions and violets. At first it appeared
that there might be a shortage of car-
nations and then, December 23, it looked
like a glut, but the next day courage had
returned and better prices were de-
manded.

It is estimated that at least twice as
many violets were offered in this market
this year as were sent here in 1906. One
wholesaler contends that the supply was
four times as great. The market was
from $2 down, with the bulk of the re-
ceipts bringing $1,50. At least a quarter
of the receipts were in such condition
that the first-class stores would not touch
them at any price and they went to the

cheap stores at from 30 cents to 60 cents
per hundred. Even at that, some Christ-
mas violets were dumped the following
Saturday.

The rose market was the strongest fea-
ture at Christmas. It comes hard to a
big grower to wire that he cannot fill an
order for 200 long Beauties at $1 each,
but it had to be done where nothing
but the best quality would answer.
Bichmond reaped a harvest for its grow-
ers, selling up to 35 cents and 50 cents
each, aaid in a good many cases long
Bichmond were substituted for medium
Beauties without complaint. There was
a big crop of Richmond on.

Poinsettias were the item that suffered
worst. The supply was large and they
proved to be almost a drug, even where
the quality was all that could be asked.
The retailers simply could not be induced

to buy cut poinsettias in any quantity.
Bed berries also were a glut and many
are still on hand.

The wholesalers who look back to 1893
say that this Christmas was a repetition
of that one; quiet business in December
up to Christmas, then a great rush oc-
casioned by well-to-do people who had
passed up the diamonds for that year,
having eleventh hour recourse to cut
flowers, and then quiet business again
for a while. However, there is general
satisfaction. The shipping rush was
heavy, but the local buying quiet, al-*
though steady, retailers declining to
stock up on cut flowers, but having nev-
ertheless to come back to the sources of
supply time after time when they began
to get their orders out. It is seldom a
holiday market is so steady and prices
so even from end to end of the period.

JUST WRIT!—

BETTER TIMES

Christmas at RetaiL

The retailers report general satisfac-
tion with this year's business. It was
about up to last year in total of sales
and those retailers who were able to get
last year's prices made more money than
a year ago. Both cut flowers and plants
were cheaper at wholesale. Most of the
retailers cleaned up on plants as closely
as could be expected and hardly anyone
was stuck with cut flowers, because no
one bought any great quantity of stock
until after orders had been taken for it.
A few retailers could not get rid of all
the plants they had bought. Some
azaleas were left, but the principal over-
stock was the poinsettia. This city never
has seen so many poinsettias as were of-
fered this Christmas and a great many
of them had nothing to brag about as to
quality. Quite a few of these still are
to be seen.

Various Notes.

E. C. Amling says Christmas was not
only the best on record, but was notable
for the even balance between supply and
demand. He cleaned up as closely as
he ever did and at the same time says
he filled every order, even those calling
for red.

The George "Wittbold Co. is rigging up
an electric pump to return the condensa-
tion to the boilers, to take the place of
a Bundy steam trap.

The A. Dietsch Co. says that it cannot
supply the demand for Washington red
cedar, although that material costs a
little more than the best grade of cypress
greenhouse material.

E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros.
Co., says that the first twenty-eight days
of December, 1907, gave the same sales
record, almost dollar for dollar, as the
whole month of December in 1906.

C. M. Dickinson is again on duty every
day at E. H. Hunt's after a fortnight's
illness, covering the Christmas rush, dur-

The A. L. Bandall Co. reports that
the four days of Christmas business were
the largest in the history of the house,
but they concur in the general report
that prices averaged less than last year.

Percy Jones, manager of the Flower
Growers' market, says the Christmas

business was notable in that there was no
great rush for stock, but a good steady
business that cleaned everything up.

Vaughan & Sperry say they had vio-
lets at Christmas that the city buyers
took at $2 without stopping to ask the
price of. other grades.

E. Fransen, of Scheiden & Schoos,
says his firm is ready to ship carnation
cuttings.

Bassett & Washburn are still cutting
large quantities of longiflorum giganteuni
lilies.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. reports that on
the Christmas business they filled many
more orders than last year, but the or-
ders did not average so large. At the
same time they were short 500 to 600
dollar Beauties. Since Christmas busi-
ness has been good with them.

The E. F. Winterson Co. had freesias
for Christmas, and every day since. Cat-
tleyas are among their receipts. They
report having secured better prices for
carnations than at any previous Christ-
mas. E. F. Winterson began a term in
the criminal court December 30, serving
as juryman for Judge Wright.

White Perfection continues to give
splendid results at J. A. Budlong's.
They think it leaves little to be desired
of white carnations.

Weiland & Risch are beginning to cut
heavily of Killarney once more.

Orchid receipts at C. W. McKellar's
are the heaviest of the season. Quality
is fine and a large number of varieties
now are available.

At Peter Reinberg's, Leonard Kill
reports that December 23 was the big-
gest day thus far recorded in their busi-
ness.

I. C. Silliman is now with Gus Lange.
Mr. Lange says business has been better
right along this fall than it was last
year and that Christmas was somewhat
ahead of a year ago, in spite of the fact
that trade was late in starting. He says
they had no trouble in waiting on every
customer except between two o'clock and
five on the afternoon of December 24,
when the rush was past all possibiUtiea
of handling.

George Eeinberg is planning to do con-

George Walther is recovering from an '

John Kruchten says 1908 looks good
to him, as he starts the year with a
new carnation grower and a new rose
grower.

N. J. Wietor says that Wietor Bros,
are so well satisfied with 1907 that they
will not add to their range of glass for
1908, feeling content with the extent of
the business now done. They are cutting
heavily at present.

L. Coatsworth made a flying trip this
week to the establishment of the Ben-

Peter Eeinberg has put in an exten-

DETROIT,

The Market

The calamity howlers seem to have
been lost in the Christmas rush. It is
business again on all sides, just at pres-
ent writing, and all are confident that it
Avill remain so. Several good weddings,
debutantes' parties and numerous recep-
tions are helping things along. There
has also been considerable funeral work
of late.

Never before were orchids in such de-
mand in this city as this year. B.
Schroeter is one of the largest growers
in this vicinity and besides supplying
his retail trade he helps out some of the
other florists from time to time. Valley
is in big demand at all times. This
favorite, used alone and with orchids,
is taking the place of many a violet
corsage.

Eoses are hardly equal to the demand.
Many large shipments arrive, but the de-
mand is large. Carnations are plentiful
and still the price is away up. Con-
siderable bulbous stock is arriving daily.
Romans and Paper Whites are almost too
plentiful.

Green stock, such as asparagus, is plen-
tiful. There seems to be a tendency
among the growers to hold green for
the holidays. This is poor policy. This
year much of it went to waste.

Christmas Trade.

Alexander Common, who is located in
the northern end of the city, said his
Christmas business was somewhat ahead
of last year. He is running his place on
a sort of a cash store plan and his
charges for Christmas could be counted
on one's fingers.

W. B. Brown, of course, was busy.
His business is still young, but is grow-
ing nicely. Being on the avenue, he
catches a large transient trade. Mr.
Brown did a good cut flower business
as well as a plant business.

Sullivan's window was prettily decor-
ated for the holidays, A latticework of
white ribbon, studded with poinsettias,
formed a pretty background for an as-
sortment of plants and baskets. Mr. Sul-
livan did not think much of the outlook
for Christmas, but the writer is of the
opinion that he is satisfied now.

Herman Klagge, the hustling manager
at Breitmeyer 's, spoke well of the holi-
day trade. Among other things, the cut
poinsettias and lilies sold exceptionally
well. Many made up baskets and pret-
tily trimmed plants were disposed of.
Scotch heather was in good demand. A
number of large decorations have kept
this firm busy and another large one was
booked for New Year's eve.

\Valter Taepke is more than pleased
with the holiday business. He had a

large cut of elegant roses and carnations
from his own houses and disposed of the
same at a good profit. He is of the same
opinion as many others, that the fabu-
lous prices charged by some of the grow-
ers at the time when there is a good de-
mand for stock is a detriment to our
business. People are willing to pay a
fair price, but when it comes to day-
light robbery they will not stand for it.
Taepke 's sold many medium-sized palms
during Christmas.

The Berab Floral Co. had an unusually
brisk trade. Several decorations helped
to occupy this firm's time. Many

wreaths made of green moss and trimmed
with various colored cape flowers were
disposed of.

E. A. Scribner, away out on the east
side, did not anticipate much business
and therefore was not prepared for the
rush. He picks up a nice lot of business
in the residence section. His auto is
still doing business. Mr. Scribner is the
only florist in town who uses an auto for
delivery purposes.

Things were humming at Schroeter 's.
This firm makes a specialty of plants
and the large assortment this year was
second to none. Poinsettias, cyclamens,
begonias. Bostons, palms, etc., went like
hot cakes. Begonia Agatha was a good
seller. A fine lot of azaleas was also
disposed of. Over 1,000 deliveries were
made for Christmas, as the receipts in
the route books will show, and this means
some hustling. Small ferns were in good
demand, showing that fern dishes are
becoming more popular as gifts.

Asman & Dunn were well satisfied with
holiday trade. Mr. Dunn is also of the
opinion that the wholesale prices were
too high and drove many prospective
buyers away.

Summing up the whole, we find satis-
faction on all sides. Beauties sold fair-
ly well, but the price was too high.
Plants of all kinds are becoming more
in demand and some day it will be a
plant business almost entirely. The vio-
lets on this market were good and met
with a ready sale. There was a scarcity
of roses. Carnations were enough to go
around. Holly could hardly be bought
at any price December 24. Ground pine
also was quite scarce.

Various Notes.

Fred Cychion, foreman for B. Schroe-
ter, has been in the employ of Mr.
Schroeter for twenty-five years and De-
cember 28, in remembrance of his years
of faithful service, he was presented
with a large arm chair.

The Lohrman Seed Co. disposed of a
lot of holly at a good price during the
rush. This firm is soon to move into
more spacious quarters.

The following members of the club
are to act on the local show question:

The Christmas Trade.

Eeports from all over the city, from
the large as well as the small florists, in-
dicate nothing but satisfaction with the
amount of business done for Christmas.
In spit© of the high prices, cut flowers
sold as well as ever. Some of the up-
town retailers say that business increased
nearly ten per cent on the sale of bloom-
ing plants and that in cut flowers it was
about the same as last year. The down-
town florists depended on cut flower
sales alone and report a satisfactory
business. From up north and from the
southern part of the city, we also hear
splendid reports as to Christmas busi-
ness. The weather was all that could
have been asked for, clear and cool, just
right for delivering plants and cut stock
without extra wrapping, which saved a
great deal of time.

Our wholesalers, Messrs. Kuehn, Smith,
Berning and Angermueller, report that
this Christmas was as good as any they
have had. Everything sold well, except
poinsettias. Of these, too many were
on the market to bring a good price.
Shipping trade, too, was as good as
usual at this time of the ye£ir.

Sine© Christmas, business has kept up
pretty well, with a great deal of funeral
work to help out. Not much stock is

coming in just now and the wholesalers
are cleaning up almost every day, in
everything except bulbous stock, which
is quite plentiful. Violets, too, have
taken a drop in price since Christmas.
They are down to 50 cents per hundred.

For New Year 's nothing like Christmas
business is looked for; still an increase
over last year is expected, as quite a
few advance orders have been booked
and prices will not be as high as last
week. We are having spring-like weather
and this should make stock more plenti-
ful.

A good many of our florists got left
this year on holly. Those who had not
ordered in advance were greatly sur-
prised when the price went up to from
$7 to $14 a case. Then they expected, as
usual, to buy from the Third street com-
mission men at $3 to $4 per case. The
holly and lycopodium sent here by W.
W. Barnard Co., Chicago, were the best
in the market. Those who had ordered
in advance made good money.

Various Notes.

James Dunford, proprietor of the Gal-
lagher Flower Shop, on Page avenue, re-
ports that his first Christmas in the re-
tail business was a good one, much bet-
ter than he expected.

Henry C. Vogel, foreman for Adolph
Brix, had a fine crop of Enchantress for
Christmas, in spite of the dark weather.
He has also a fine crop of sweet peas
coming on; in fact, the whole place has
been in fine shape since Mr. Vogel took
hold.

The funeral of Mrs. J. E. Schray took
place December 26, from the family resi-
dence, 4100 Pennsylvania avenue. Many

beautiful floral designs were sent by the
local trade. Among the florists who at-
tended were Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Weber,
Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Miller, Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. Kruse, C. A. Kuehn, O, G. Koenig,
F. H. Meinhardt, F. J. Fillmore and J.
J. Beneke.

George Ostertag received his Christ-
mas present in the shape of a four-year
reappointment as superintendent of
parks. The appointment was signed by
Philip Scanlan, park commissioner, and
Rolla Wells, mayor. Mr. Ostertag 's ap-
pointment is not a political one, but be-
cause he has made good with the de-
partment.

Arthur Ellison, who is here for the
holidays, says the Ellison Floral Co. had
a fine Christmas trade. Everything sold
well and at good prices.

George Waldbart and Mrs. M. M.
Ayers, at Grand avenue ind Olive street,
as usual, did a rushing business. Their
show houses were empty Thursday, where
crowded two days before.

Fred H. Weber reported a big increase
over last year's business in both plants
and cut flowers. He also had quite a
few orders from outside of the city.

The attractive store front of C. Young
& Sons Co. brought them a great deu
of extra trade. The whole force was
kept busy filling orders. The trade was
very satisfactory all through.

Fred C. Weber did his usual large
Christmas business. His window and
showhouse display was of the best, with
everything in season.

The new firm of Kelley & Petschonek,
on Kings highway, reports its first
Christmas beyond expectations.

W. W. Hathaway reports Christmas
trade as a little better than a year ago
in spite of some business depression.
Among flowering plants, azaleas, Lor-
raine begonias, cyclamens, primulas and
poinsettias sold well. Nephrolepis Whit-
mani was easily the leader in the foliage
class, there being a heavy demand for
this fine fern.

Carnations, as usual, led in popularity
among cut flowers; roses, violets, sweet
peas and bulbous stock being next in
popularity.

^Mountain laurel took the lead in
wreathing and roping, going far ahead
of 1906 in spite of the fact that there

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

There seemed to be plenty of flowers
in every store for Christmas -and bloom-
ing plants sold well. They are becoming
more in rlemand every year. There were
plenty of azaleas, but they sold well.
Medium sized ones sold at from $2.50 to
$3.50. larger ones selling at $5 and
up. Narcissi in pans at from 75 cents
to $1.50 sold well for smaller gifts.
Roman hyacinths and primroses, poinset-
tias and Lorraine begonias and fancy
baskets of mixed plants also sold better
than last year.

Green was plentiful. Christmas trees
were a glut and everyone who handled
them had some left.

There were plenty of violets. Some of
the stores were overstocked on them and
were ready to wholesale to the rest tlio
next day. The weather was delightful.
Palms for decorating were taken out in
open wagons. Such fine weather made
all delivering easy, so that but little
wrapping of plants was necessary.

Various Notes.

Arthur Newell says that he had a splen-
did trade and sold out entirely on green
and holly. Everything else went well and
he is much pleased.

Mr. Freudenthal had a fine trade dur-
ing Christmas. He sold mostly cut flow-
ers.

The William L. Rock Flower Co. re-
ports trade as good for Christmas and
they had all they could handle.

Miss .J. E. Murray reports a splendid
trade and could have sold more in bloom-
ing plants. Her supply of plants ran out

early in the day. She now has her store
back into good shape, it having gone
through much repair since the fire.

W. H. Humfeld says that ho was sur-
prised at the amount of business he had,
especially the last two days, it being
much greater than he had expected. He
is satisfied that he had his share of the
business.

We believe that everybody is well sat-
isfied with the Christmas trade. There
does not seem to be any complaint.

Adolph Goldenberg, of Ralph M. Ward
& Co., was a visitor last week.

W. H. H.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Christmas this year was looked for-
ward to with much doubt by many of
the retailers, the stringency in the money
market causing many to think trade
would be short. However, if the reports
being given out by the various dealers
are correct, it has been the best this city
has ever seen.

Plants, of course, were more conspicu-
ous than ever before and many s foremen
said they would not handle cut flowers at
the prices at which they were sold, but
the last two days settled that matter
and without doubt they handled just as
many as ever.

The commission men seemed to find
the stock somewhere to fill orders, not-
withstanding the fact that a short cut
was reported all along the line, and
prices were about the same as any other
Christmas. In fact, for several years
there has been but a slight difference in
the price lists. Beauties doubled in

price and Richmond roses soared away
up, but there was enough of everything
to more than satisfy the demand, includ-
ing violets.

The out-of-town dealers, iiowever, do
not speak so well of their business and
much complaint comes from the small
towns surrounding us, especially wliere
they depend on the mills, which were
shut down, and with no information when
thej' will start again.

Various Notes.

It is reported that one of our whole-
salers speculated in the western market,
buying carnations in quantities which
were not justified. The result was that
on the day before Christmas the street
stands on Fifth avenue were offering
carnations at 50 cents per do'zen, and it
is said even as low as 25 cents per dozen.
This made it look bad for the storemen
when they were asking very high prices,
having paid more themselves for their
stock than the stands were selling for.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. reports
its sales considerably in advance of last
year and one-half their help, including
Mr. Langhans, had been suffering with
grip, just getting out Monday. Mr.
Langhans found by the time the rush was
over that he had gotten out too soon and
has been confined to his room ever since
Christmas morning.

Mr. and Mrs. L. I. Nelf have the sym-
pathy .of their friends in the death of
Mrs. Neff 's mother, December 27.

There were few cases of good holly in
this market. Many Cliristmas trees went
to the dump. Boxwood was very scarce
toward the last and sold at 25 cents per
pound. Rod bells wore not in it this

The Christinas Trade.

Christmas ia over and, after reckon-
ing up, the florists are looking like
breakfast food advertisements. They
are wearing the smile that will not come
•oflf. With one or two exceptions, they
report business from twenty-five to fifty
per cent better than last year. There
was a much larger cash business. Plants
sold well; that is, all except the very
large ones and there was little large stuff
in the plant line this year. Plant bas-
kets sold well, but cut flowers sold better
than last year. There was enough to go

around. Violets were short on Christ-
mas morning, but a good many pickled
violets were to be seen. This was about
the only real complaint. Gude Bros, had
one order of twenty-one armadillo bas-
kets of growing plants to ship out of
town. They had a fine lot of 2,000
Beauties for their Christmas trade.

good. They are receiving some fine ear-

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

The Christmas business began in earn-
est on Sunday, December 22, when ship-
ping was heavy. The commission men
found it necessary to work all day Sun-
day to get their out of town orders
packed, as the shipping business was un-
usually large. The supply of ros&s was
fine and by Christmas morning had sold
up clean. Beauties were never better
and while they did not bring $15 for the
best, there was quite a nice lot of them
sold for $10 and $12 per dozen. The
short and medium grades sold up clean
at a good average price, anywhere from
$4 tQ $9 per dozen, as the supply on these
grades was decidedly short. Richmond
and Liberty were especially fine and sold
splendidly. The prices ranged from 8
cents for the short ones to .35 cents and
50 cents for the best, of which there
were not quite enough to meet the de-
mand. Brides and Bridesmaids in the
fancy grades were in good demand and
sold up clean where the stock was fresh.
The salted stock, of which there was
quite a lot, did not sell at any price, the
growers having held them too long be-
fore sending them to the market. Kil-
larney was at its best. The weather,
which has a good bit to do with the color
in this rose, was bright and warm and
the flowers were exceptionally well col-
ored. The specials, which had 3-foot
stems, brought from .35 cents to 40 cents
each, which was a good price for a tea
rose.

Carnations were in good shape and
sold up clean on the better grades.
There were a few of the new red carna-
tion Beacon which sold for $16 per hun-
dred. Winsor, which cut quite a good
figure, whiJe not so long in stem, was
fine in color and is a good shipper. The
best of these brought 12 cents. Enchant-
ress and a few of the other larger varie-
ties sold for 10 cents and 12 cents. The
smaller kinds cleaned up well at a good
average price.

Cattleyas were, plentiful and were in

good demand, the prices ranging from
60 cents to 75 cents each. Cypripediums
were a little bit scarce. The main crop
will be in about two weeks later. They
sold well at $15 per hundred. There
were entirely two many Harrisii lilies
and they sold poorly, as did plumosus
and adiantum, with which the market
was overstocked. The shipments of val-
ley were heavy, while the demand was
light and the prices did not advance.

Poinsettias were fine, but there were
too many of them and the market would
not take them all. Fancy single and
double violets were in demand and
brought a fair price, 75 cents and $1 per
hundred. The smaller ones did not sell
so well, no reasonable offer being re-
fused. Mignonette in the fancy grades
brought 6 cents and 8 cents. Bouvardia,
which is always in good demand at this
time of year, sold up clean at from 3
cents to 6 cents.

I'lants for Christmas, which a few

years ago were scarcely known, were a
big factor and the sale of them was
heavy.

The general impression of the busi-
ness done at Christmas this year is that
it was as heavy as any year previous.

phia, one located in the Bellevue-Strat-
forcl hotel, and the other at the corner of
Twenty-seioinl and Diamond streets.

On emoiiiig the first floor of Horti-
cultural hall, the eye wa.s at once at-
tracted by a wealth of smilax and ferns,
uhich tastefully adorned the marble bal-
ustrades on cither side of the grand
stairway. The lower hall itself was
banked with jialms, Jeanne Nonin chry-
santhenuini!i. pink roses and large
bunches of Easter lilies. At the turn
of the stairway the pillars were decked
with pink azaleas, and everywhere in the
lower hall and on the stairway minia-
^^/f /'^-^''^*^ ^'^lits of various colors
added to the picturesque scene.

On reaching the main ball room the
eye was charmed by the great beauty of
the picture. The color scheme, which was
earned out in everv detail, was pink
Along each side of the hall a raised

promenade had been constructed, made
to resemble white marble, and about
three or four feet in height. This was an
original idea of the decorators. Toward
the front of the promenade were numer-
ous small boxes, each seating four or five
people, which could be used by those
who did not desire to dance. This was
a welcome innovation and was much ap-
preciated. The front of the boxes was
decorated with pink roses, lilies, and
Lorraine begonias. Begonias were also
seen in great profusion in every direc-
tion throughout the ball room, some in
hanging baskets suspended from the ceil-
ing, others in pots at various points.
The crowning beauty of the decoration,
however, was the huge bunches of the
new pink rose, Wyndmoor, grown by
Myers & Samtman, the well-known rose
growers, whose houses are at Wyndmoor,
a suburb of Philadelphia. This rose is

of a most delicate pink, and the firm
has been developing it for the last nine
years. This is the first time that it has
been used in any quantity in a decora-
tion. It somewhat resembles the Brides-
maid and Killarney, but is richer in
color than the former, and not as deep
a pink as the latter. Great quantities of
smilax and laurel were used in every
direction, streamers from each window
forming the roof of this attractive and
unique garden. As in the hallway, small
electric lights were used in profusion,
and gave forth a soft glow. Another
feature, entirely new, was having hun-
dreds of butterflies which were released
during the evening and which added to
the effect. Fountains also had been in-
stalled, and by the use of electric lights
the scented water from the fountains
took on various hues. The musicians
were on the stage at one end of the
hall and were hidden by palms and other
greens, while large candelabra, the lights
shaded with pink shades, completed the
effect. The table decorations were of
pink roses, hyacinths and orchids.

Variotis Notes.

Kobert Craig Co. reports a good busi-
ness in plants for the holidays, such as
poinsettias, begonias, cyclamens, azaleas
and everything of a bright color. Green
idants, such as palms and ferns, sold
slowly.

Alphonse Pericat, the well known
orchid grower, had a pretty novelty in
cattleyas in fancy wooden baskets, which
was much admired and sold remarkablv
well.

Edward Keid reports the holiday busi-
ness as better than any year previous.

The first single daffodils and pussy
willows were seen at the store of S. S|
Pennock-iJeehan Co.; the first sign of
spring.

11. Bayersdorfer & Co. say business
for the last year was the largest in their
experience. Their fancy baskets for
Easter are arriving in great variety.

W. F. Kasting, of Buffalo, and the
Gude brothers were among the visitors
seen in town.

The shipments out of town of natural
cotton and boxwood sprays were excep-
tionally heavy.

That it was a good year no one can
deny, for everybody was busy and,
though cut stock was a trifle high, it
went well. Trade opened a little slowly,
but came fast at the end, and before

cry and the result was an advance in
price. To add to this, the cases were
lightly packed and short weight. A few
of the shops gave up the attempt and
sold boxwood and pine wreaths. Pine
roping seemed to be losing favor to the
laurel. All the big stores were using the
laurel in preference to other greens.

Statice wreaths, which were such a
big seller last year, did not take this
year, for some reason or other.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Business last week was in a rushing
state. The ideal weather we are having
brought out large crowds of busy buyers
and stock of all kinds sold well. The re-
tail florists had a big week and some
tried to close a half day on Christmas,
but tlie trade still sought flowers up to a
late hour. One of our new florists re-
ports he had several extra wagons and
hands making deliveries of flowers and
had little Christmas for himself. The
markets had a rushing trade and nearly
sold out entirely. Christmas trees this
year were a glut and thousands went to
waste. The nursery trees sold only fairly
well. Holly was scarce and was easy to
dispose of. Mistletoe was plentiful and
sold reasonably. Yarding and various
decorating greens had a good demand.
Wreaths of all kinds moved nicely. Roses
were not so plentiful. Carnations were
scarce, sold at a high figure and some
growers sold their entire blooms in their
houses, as the stock stood for 4 cents
each. Paper White narcissi were plenti-
ful and one grower had about 1,000

blooms that he said he would sell at 1
cent each to work them off.

There was quite a demand for funeral
work and at present writing our city is
in the clutches of the dreaded grippe and
the disease has become epidemic here and
the death rate is telling. The thermome-
ter registered 72 degrees December 28.

Various Notes.

F. N. Powell, of Fullerton, has retired
from the florists' business.

James Hamilton, Mount Washington,
Md., had a fine house of carnations ready
for Christmas and is still making exten-
sive improvements.

J. Bartell, Radnor avenue, Govans-
town, has erected a number of new
houses and will improve his place.

N. Terry, Owings Mills, reports a
heavy trade during the holiday week.

N. O. Strand reports trade at his new
store in good condition.

R. L. Graham, Waverly, Md., had a
fine collection of cyclamens, which found
ready sale.

E. Holden, Catonsville, reports he had
a large crop of Lorillard tomatoes and
picked 1,000 pounds of the fruit, and he
is growing a large quantity of lettuce
and radish. J. L. T.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

(Christmas has come and gone and it
proved to be a happy one for most flo-
rists, as the prices were higher than ever
before and the business done was above
the average. Both cut flowers and
plants went like hot cakes. Poinsettias
in any form sold at sight and late mums

held their own. Christmas tree» and
greens seemed to be a little overdone.
Toward the close of December 24, trees
could be bought at your own price and
there were lots to be hauled away the day
after. Every street corner had its ven-
dor and while the business done must
iiave been immense, there was too much
stock laid in. Tiie stores did not dec-
orate as much as usual.

Variotis Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. A. F. J. Baur spent
Christmas at Richmond. While there
Mr. Baur visited the various growers and
all report a fine holiday trade.

Homer Wiegand is going after the
rabbits, now that the rush is over. He
believes in the strenuous life and makes
things "git" wherever he is, rabbits in-
cluded.

The next meeting of the City Florists'
Club will be held at the South Side Tur-
ners' hall, January 8. A good social
time will be had.

The State Florists' Association of In-
diana will hold its annual meeting at
the Commercial Club rooms, Wednesday,
January 15, in the afternoon and even-
ing. Parties concerned will please take
notice of change in date. There will be
the usual trade display and all members
are requested to bring an exhibit of some
kind. The election of oflBcers will also
take place in the afternoon. There will
be a supp6r in the evening. S.

Pekin, III.— Holiday trade was fully
up to last year. One of George A. Kuhl's
specials was cutting Trumpet Majors on
Christmas morning. Mr. Hansen, for-
merly with Long Island growers, now
has charge of his roses.

Some varieties of sweet corn are being
offered freely. Country Gentleman is not
among them, however, and Evergreen
only in small quantity.

The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, has is-
sued its market gardeners' price list. It
has Evergreen com at $5 per bushel and
the early sorts at $4; Longfellow beans
at $3.50; Gradus peas at $6; Red Weth-
ersfield onion seed at $1.75 and the flat
yellows at $1.50; globes at $2.00, except
white at $4.

Onion sets for January shipment are
being aired up and sorted at Chicago.
The two months' storage has put a dif-
ferent appearance upon many of the lots.
On the whole they are not keeping as well
as the holders would wish. It looks now
as though onion sets the coming spring
will be high and scarce. The whites are
shrinking badly and the yellows and reds
are showing more of a shrink than any of
the growers anticipated.

Beans are still being received from
the farmers at the different growing sta-
tions and the crop on the whole is satis-
factory enough as to quantity. Many of
the wax varieties are badly speckled from
the dampness which was in the straw at
the time of stacking. Considerable hand
picking will have to be done to put these
stocks into merchantable shape. This
will add to the cost of the beans and, al-
though there seems to be enough to make
contract deliveries in full in most cases,
it will nevertheless work a hardship on
many of the growers when they do this
at the low contract price.

strength of the plant being given to the de-
velopment of large, perfectly double flow-

W. F. Dreer, Philadelphia, passed
through CJhieago December 28, en route
to California.

The death of A. B. Howard, originator
of the Star petunia, is recorded in the
obituary column this week.

Onion seed is stiH^too high to meet the
view of the onion-set growers. It is
hoped that they will come to see it dif-
ferently soon.

Rogers & Co., Leamington Spa, Eng-
land, offer an onion competition open to
all gardeners, with first premium of £100
and sixty other prizes.

Notice of the death of Alfred Plant,
head of the Plant Seed Co., St. Louis,
will be found in the obituary column
this week. He was 87 years of age and
.had been in the seed trade over half a '
century.

Seedsmen will be interested in the
outcome of a legal battle, reported in
this issue of the Review, whereby the
JuUus Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J.,
has fixed upon the Cold Storage Co. re-
sponsibility for the loss of valley pips
which started in the warehouse.

Carl Sonderegger made a hit with
the people of Beatrice, Neb., when he
opened a seed department as an adjunct
to his nursery business, for one of their
favorite themes is the amount of adver-
tising he will do for Beatrice and the
amount of business he will bring to the
town. A. Luck, formerly of Des Moines,

catalogue will have 104 pages and 80.000
copies will be sent out.

There are few prize oflfers in the 1908
seed catalogues.

There is no equity in the average
claim for damages because of a crop
failure; for instance, in the latest law-
suit $3,600 was asked because seed for
which $2.45 was paid failed to give the
results expected. The two amounts are
out of all proportion to each other.

This year it is found that the seed
stocks of the market gardeners' quality
all through the list are scarce. There
will not be enough of them to go around.
It is likely that when the first call has
been met other stocks, which heretofore
have not been classed as entirely suitable
for market gardeners, will be given out
and if the result is satisfactory a change
of opinion regarding sources of supply
for reliable market gardeners' quality
may occur.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Januaht 2, 1908.

The privilege of mailing catalogues in
bulk, without affixing stamps, will be
taken advantage of by seedsmen more
generally this season than in the past.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says that there is abso-
lutely no chance for a parcels post bill
to get through at this session of Con-
gress.

James Vick's Sons, Eochester, have
two new asters for 1908, a quilled va-
riety called Imperial Sunrise and an
early strain of their well-known Vick's
Late Branching.

A British writer has counted up the
sweet pea novelties for 1908 and finds
that not less than four dozen so-called
new sorts are to be introduced. Only
three are from America.

Montgomery Waed & Co., Chicago,
' will this season change the form of their
seed catalogue, using a page rather
larger than the standard size, instead of
long and narrow, as in the first two edi-
tions.

The U. S, Department of Agriculture
has recently issued Farmers' Bulletin
No. 313, "Harvesting and Storing
Corn," by C. P. Hartley, physiologist in
charge of corn investigations, which will
be of interest to seedsmen.

The Burpee's Farm Annual for 1908
lists Prizetaker, Yellow Globe Danvers
and Bed Globe onions at $2.50 per
pound; Southport Yellow Globe at $2.75
and White Globe at $4.50; Evergreen
sweet corn at $1.75 per peck; Country
Gentleman, $2.25.

John Clark and his family were suf-
focated in a fire at Watertown, Mass.,
December 26. Mr. Clark was a salesman
for the H. E. Fiske Co., Boston, and had
previously worked for Peter Henderson
& Co., Joseph Brack & Son, T. J. Grey &
Co. and W. W. Eawson & Co. An ac-
count of the tragedy appears in the obit-
uary column this week.

A BUSHEL OF CORN.

The laws of the majority of states
recognize seventy pounds of ears as a
bushel of corn. Some few states specify
that previous to January a bushel of
ears shall weigh seventy-two pounds.
Almost without exception the state laws
specify that fifty-six pounds of shelled
corn shall constitute a legal bushel. Un-
less the strain of corn has exceedingly
large cobs and short kernels the legal
bushel of seventy pounds of ears will
yield when shelled fifty-six pounds of
grain, or the legal bushel of shelled
corn. A struck bushel of kernels of dif-
ferent strains of corn will vary in
weight from fifty to sixty-four pounds.

NOVELTIES FOR 1908

Godetia Dwarf Compact

Crimson Glow

(Our Own Raiaini;.)

This splendid new Godetia will be eagerly sought
after when once known. It forms a compact little
bush about 9 inches in height, completely smothered
with flowers of the most dazzling, intense crimson. A
bed of this variety produces a vivid effect, the in-
tensity of which it 18 impossible to describe. To be
fully appreciated it must be seen growing.

The color of Crimson Olow is many shades deeper,

Eschscholtzia Erects Compacta

DAINTY QUEEN

We have the greatest pleasure in being able to in-
troduce this exquisite new color in Eschscholtzias.
It is so delicate and striking that we are certain it
will excite universal admiration, and become one of
the greatest favorites of this charming race of our
new improved compact Californian Poppies. It is al-
most impossiK^le to adequately describe its soft and
delicate shade of color.

The color is t, tender blush or pale coral pink,
slightly deeper toward the edges, with a groundwork
of delicate cream, and like Intus Bosea, which we in-
troduced in 1905, is quite the same color inside the
flower as outside, so that the effect in color is the
same when the flower is open as when closed, which
is quite unusual in all other Eschscholtzias.

PEA, THE PILOT (Re-selected)

We have no hesitation in saying that of all the Peas introduced for many years past, there has not been one
to equal the PILOT in merit or usefulness. Unfortunately when this Pea was first introduced it was not per-
fectly fixed. However, even in its unfixed state it was considered the best early hardy Pea, but it showed too
much variation. Ever since it was first brought out we have been careiftilly selecting it, and have at length
succeeded in obtaining what we consider a really first-class stock, which we have now pleasure in offering.

We are quite sure that eventually this now re-selected variety will take the place of Bountiful and Ameer, as
it is practically as early as Eclipse and as hardy, while it possesses a pod of the Gradus type.

We have but a limited quantity of this fine stock to dispose of. $18.00 per 100 lbs.

•vrell known German growers. About
half of the pips in question were used
at Rutherford during the winter of 1903,
and about the middle of March, 1904,
the Koehrs Co. stored the remaining half
million pips with the Manhattan Cold
Storage Co., New York. The following
summer the Eoehrs Co. discovered that
the pips, while in the storage warehouse,
had sprouted and were growing. An
investigation was at once made by law-
yers who represent a number of local
florists and who have given special at-
tention to the legal rights of the trade
in the matter of, the very heavy losses
which have been sustained through the
careless storage of goods. As a result of
this investigation a demand was made
upon the storage company to reimburse
the Eoehrs Co. for the loss of the pips,
and thia demand brought about a test
. of the respective rights of the florist and
the storage house, under the circum-
stances disclosed.

It was claimed, on behalf of the stor-
age company, that its legal obligation
was not to ' ' preserve the goods, ' ' in the
absence of a special agreement for a
specific temperature, and that, as the
Eoehrs Co. could not establish what oc-
curred in the storage warehouse, it could
not recover.

It was also claimed that the condition
of the goods at the time they were re-
ceived from Europe, as well as their con-
dition at the time they were stored, was
in doubt, because not all of the boxes
were examined at the greenhouses of the
Eoehrs Co.

So important were these points to the
trade generally, that the Eoehrs Co. de-
termined to fight the case to the end,
and at the trial many well-known florists
and growers of lily of the valley ap-
peared as witnesses. Attorneys for the
Eoehrs Co. succeeded in getting before
the jury the temperature records of the
storage company, which contained some
damaging evidence in the way of tem-
peratures which experts said were too
high to preserve the pips. It was also
shown that the goods of several other
dealers stored there during the same
period were found to have sprouted.

Expert storage men were brought from
Philadelphia and other cities, who testi-
fied that the storage plant of the de-
fendant was constructed according to
the most modern plans and was equipped
with approved refrigerating machinery;
but there was strong evidence offered to
establish some special carelessness and
oversight on the part of the storage
company, during the spring of the year
in question. A sufficient rise in tem-
perature was indicated to start the bulbs
from their dormant state, and it was
proved by the testimony of experts that
when once the pips had sprouted, their
growth could not be stopped or retarded
without destroying bhem. The court
mied against the storage company on

ant storage company, and other com-
panies in the same line, will take special
notice of this case in the future conduct
of their business^ and it is also apparent
that the decision will attract much at-
tention from florists, who cannot fail to
benefit largely by the protection which
this decision affords them.

ONCINNATL

The Market

Christmas business turned out to be all
that we hoped it would be, and then
some. Of course there are reports here
and there that the trade fell away short,
but taking the reports as an average
there can be no question but that the
business done this year was well up with
last year — which was a banner year — if
it did not go it some points better. For
one thing, there were more flowers this
year than last, as a rule, and this alone
would point to a larger business, for,
with the exception of poinsettias, there
was not a flower of any kind left over.
So, taking everything into consideration,
we can say that the business done this
year was highly satisfactory from every
point of view and the florists as a whole
have good cause to rejoice in the fact
that their business, even with the poorest
of prospects, has made good and proved
that it is being done on a good, sound
basis; for even though there was a finan-
cial panic on, the people had to have
their flowers for Christmas, as they have
now become a necessity.

As stated above, the poinsettia was the
only flower that did not sell out clean,
and this was onlv because the wholesale
men held the price right up to the top
line. They considered the stock on hand
to be good even after the Christmas
business was over and would not lower
the price to sell out. Boses and carna-
tions sold out to the last flower and the
prices have never been higher. The qual-
ity of the carnations was fine and the
roses showed less salting than for many
years, which is a good thing. Violets sold
well and narcissi and Romans went out
clean. Valley also did well.

Holly continued to be scarce through-
out the week and when, December 24,
it was seen that the wholesale price was

Establishment of Joseph Bancroft & Son, Cedar Falls, Iowa.

THE FORDHOOK MUSK MELON.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia,
are this season to introduce a new musk
melon, to which they have given the name
Fordhook and which was originated in
1900 as a cross of Emerald Gem and
the Improved Jennie Lind. It was
raised by A. P. Owen, at Mickleton, N.
J., who has agreed to sell seeds to no
other seedsmen for a period of three
years.

The Fordhook melon is the subject for
a colored plate in the thirty-second edi-
tion of Burpee's Farm Annual and the
way in which it is exploited is charac-
teristic of the Burpee establishment. An
extract from the novelty sheets of the
Burpee catalogue will be of interest, not
only as showing the character of the
melon, but as indicating the selling talk
which abounds throughout the Burpee
book. ^

"The Fordhook melon resembles Im-
proved Jennie Lind in form; it is
equally roughly netted, while the
skin, showing between the netting, is
emerald green. The flesh is very thick,
of an attractive deep salmon color and
surpassingly sweet to the very rind. It
18 fully equal in flavor to Emerald Gem.
Many who have been so fortunate as to
taste the new Fordhook say that it is
even better — 'the most delicious of all
melons.' The beautiful salmon flesh,
while BO surpassingly luscious, is not only
very thick but also extremely solid. The
rind, although thin, is unusually firm,
so that the fruits carry well to market.
There are no musk melons that are bet-
ter shippers.

The Fordhook melon is most vigor-
ous in growth, very early and extremely
prolific. The fruits are ready for mar-
ket fully as early as the green fleshed
Early Jennie Lind. The vines grow
vigorously and each vine sets from five
to nine melons immediately around the;
stem; frequently the fruits touch each
other. The melons are remarkably even
in size, weighing from a pound and a
half to two pounds each. Fordhook ia

so 'thoroughbred' that there are prac-
tically no fruits unfit for market."

Certainly any melon grower would
want to try Fordhook after reading that,
and a lot more like it, but for fear it
may be considered the description is only
the word of the enthusiast, there is this
paragraph :

"Twenty-seven years ago (in 1881)
we first named and introduced Burpee's
Netted Gem, now the most popular musk
melon in cultivation and the variety
that, under the market name of Rocky
Ford, has made Colorado famous. Twen-
ty-two years ago (in 1886) we intro-
duced the celebrated Emerald Gem, which
has been recognized ever since as the
sweetest of all melons, the standard by
which all others must be judged as to
quality. Of our other introductions
which have become standard varieties we
would mention Bayview, Montreal,
Champion Market, Golden Eagle and
Burpee's Matchless. We have been
equally successful in the introduction of
water melons. The above record of musk
melons, however, will sufiice to show that
we know melons. ' '

BANCROFT VILLE.

The fame of Cedar Falls, in Iowa, rests
upon the wide extent of the business of
Joseph Bancroft & Son. At the date of
the last census the count of noses showed
Cedar Falls had 7,000 people. The an-
nual pay roll at the Bancroft greenhouses
is over $5,000, or almost a dollar apiece
for every man, woman and child Uncle
Sam found in the town at the date of his
last count.

The business was established in 1876,
thirty-two years ago, by Bishop & Ban-
croft, in connection with their nursery,
but the greenhouse department was soon
after purchased by Joseph Bancroft,
whose son, George, is now the active man-
ager of the business. The first green-
house was 30x50 feet and it waa not until
1892 that additional glass was erected.
Since then new houses have been added
almost yearly, until now practically half

a city square is covered and the establish-
ment is one of the largest and best
equipped in Iowa.

Besides the local trade of the town, a
general mail order business is done, cover-
ing practically every department of the
trade and extending not only throughout
Iowa but over adjoining states. A portion
of the glass is devoted to the growing of
cut flowers, but a large part is given to
the production of plants for the catalogue
trade. Besides wholesaling cut flowers
and plants, the retail business includes
the shipment of cut flowers and designs
to adjoining towns and a general mail
order catalogue business in plants and
seeds. The spring catalogue for 1907 was
an edition of 10,000, which will be some-
what increased for 1908, as the firm looks
forward to one of the best seasons in its
history. A fall bulb catalogue also is
issued and at the Christmas season a
large business is done in Christmas greens
and Christmas supplies, such as bells,
wreaths, etc.

The accompanying illustration shows
the Bancroft establishment with the ex-
ception of two greenhouses, which are
obscured by the dwelling. These two
houses contain 4,000 feet of glass.

Everett, Wash. — The Broadway
Floral Co. says that business has never
been better than at present. The firm
is planning to extend its glass area and
expand its business in 1908.

Freeport, III. — Louis Bauscher says
the Christmas trade was exceptionally
good and gave no indication of any
money shortage. But, he says, the flo-
rists are in need of these lively holiday
seasons to spur them up after the lulls so
often experienced.

Titusville, Pa. — W. Bay says that
Christmas business in this city .was satis-
factory. The volume of trade was larg-
er, but the value less, than last year.
There was an increase in the demand for
cheap potted plants and absolutely no
call for fancy price stock.

■were fortunate enough to have good holly
this year made a very good thing out
of it.

It has been many years since we have
had such warm weather during the holi-
days. It has' been close to 50 degrees
here every day, and scarcely low enough
at night to freeze. While this is very
bad on the flowers in the greenhouses,
it was ideal weather in which to deliver
goods. As a consequence the plant busi-
ness has never been better. It was so
easy to deliver them that the stores made
extra effort to sell plants.

.Variotis Notes.

The Carnation Society meeting at
"Washington, D. C, January 28 to 30, is
now fast approaching and will soon be
upon us. As we have several carnation
enthusiasts in this city, Cincinnati ought
to send a pretty good delegation. E. G.
Gillett is laying his plans to go and of
course Bichard Witterstaetter will be on
hand. A rate of one fare and a third
has been made on the certificate plan.
From all indications, this meeting will
be the best ever this year.

A new park superintendent will likely
be appointed this week. A new possibil-
ity for the position is Ben George. He
was called before the new board of pub-
lic service yesterday. Carl Schweitzer
has also put in an application. J. W.
Rodgers, the present superintendent, is
not saying much, but has some hopes of
holding the place. There are many,
though, who would not be surprised to
Bee B. P. Critchell, who held the posi-
tion prior to Mr. Bodgers, get the ap-

■ pointment.

The Walnut Hills Floral Bazaar had

■ three of the best decorations of the sea-
' son during the last week. They were

all elaborate affairs and the work was
done in the high class manner for which
this firm is noted.

On Christmas day Nick Weber held a
reunion of his large family at his home.
Some twenty members were present and
all enjoyed the occasion greatly.

C. J. Ohmer.

Webb City, Mo. — S. S. Brenneman
says that Christmas trade was fine and
everything was sold. The weather also
was fine.

Syracuse, N. Y.— P. B. Quinlan &
Co. are operating two stores this sea-
son, one at 417 South Salina street and
one at 133 East Washington street. The
Christmas stock was especially strong on
blooming plants and many baskets and
hamper arrangements were sold. The
Christmas trade was as good as ever.

VEGETABLES AS A SIDE LINE.

There are probably no readers of the
Review who could be more benefited by
reading the articles on vegetables indoors
than the small growers who do a retail
trade with at least a part of the stock
grown. Such places we find in every
city and in many small towns. We have
met some growers who grow both flowers
and vegetables and who make use of
every foot of space in their houses at all
times, but such places are seldom found,
and more often the visitor will see empty
benches and half filled houses, or houses
partly or completely filled with worth-
less stock because there does not seem
to be any need of the room at the mo-
ment. Such a condition is more likely
to be noticed by the traveling salesman
or the visitor than by the proprietor, be-
cause the one who is in charge often
permits his houses to get into such shape
gradually and unnoticed, with his mind
intent on funeral work and retail sales,
or planning on bedding stock, etc., for
the coming spring; and before he is
aware of it his place looks as if it was
very much mismanaged.

Whether it is mismanagement or lack
of knowledge, it would be well for us
all to shake ourselves occasionally and
look around. Perhaps some one else has
been learning all the time we were
dreaming. Suppose we go out and visit
our competitors and others and see how
they are doing; read the Review care-
fully, and ask ourselves if after all it
might not pay better to throw out a
lot of rubbish and get something grow-
ing that will bring in some money.

It takes no more rent or interest, no
more coal and little more expense to
have the houses full, and full of some-
thing that will sell, than to be wasting
fuel, time, etc., on half-filled houses or
poor stock.

Vegetables* as a side crop would actu-
ally double the profits on many green-
house establishments, and it would be
well for all growers to get posted on
vegetable forcing and then get expe-
rience. How often we see the mum house
standing with the last remnants of the
crop hanging on the strings for weeks
after it has ceased to pay for the fuel
it takes to keep the frost out, when a
fine crop of radishes or lettuce could be
had in a few weeks if the grower had
only looked ahead and planned what to
put in as soon as he could possibly cut
the last of the bench of blooms.

It takes only a little work to get a
nice batch of lettuce plants up and

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Christmas Trade.

Christmas has passed and gone and is
now only a memory. From conversations
with the retailers around town I find
that business on the whole was almost
up to that of last year. I must qualify
this statement, however, and remark
that the demand was for the cheaper
grades of stock, and those florists cater-
ing especially to this class of trade had
all the business they could handle.

There was quite a difference in this
year's trade as compared with that of
last season. The public generally were
in quest of bargains and it was not until
the last day that the buying public got
reckless and to a certain extent bought
almost everything in sight.

To begin with, December trade had
been very dull and until the twentieth of
the month the retailers had been buying
very sparingly. The growers and whole-
salers had been importuning the stores
to fill up on everything grown, but with
poor results. Growers of poinsettias, be-
gonias, ferns and other Christmas stock
began to think they were doomed to a
quiet year, and prices were correspond-
ingly lowered. About a week before that
time, however, the buying public began
to get busy and inquiries for stock were
noticeable. The universal cry of hard
times had its effeot on the florists, as well
as all the other lines of trade, and as a
result the storemen commenced to buy
very cautiously. But about Saturday, the
weather being warm and bright and
hordes of shoppers on the streets, the
indications were that the holiday trade
would be heavy and the retailers com-
menced to double and treble their orders
to the growers. Monday witnessed the
shops full to overflowing with every-
thing in the flower line and the demand
only fair. Late in the afternoon the
crowds began to besiege the stores and,
as I remarked before, the cheaper grades
of stock were soon sold out. Then began
a scramble to replenish for Tuesday and
stock jumped up in value fully 100 per
cent in a few hours. Growers that had
anything pickled on hand reaped a har-
vest and it was impossible to satisfy
the demand. With th€ possible excep-
tion of valley, cut poinsettias and Ro-
man hyacinths, everything went sky-
ward, and the retailers commenced to
reap a harvest. The demand was prin-
cipally for the cheaper classes of stock,
and any dealer who could not get fancy

Beauties had no difficulty in satisfying
his customers with fancy carnations.
For flowering plants poinsettias seemed
to be all that was necessary to keep on
hand to fill the wants of the buyers.

Palms sold poorly, but there was a
great demand for Nephrolepis elegan-
tissima and other potted ferns. Potted
hyacinths and valley sold fairly well.

The Tuesday before Christmas was a
record-breaker and the demand for all
classes of stock was exceptionally heavy.
Some of the dealers closed tlreir doors
early in the afternoon and put placards
on the doors announcing that no more
orders would be taken for delivery. The
weather up to this time had been all
that could be desired from a shopper's
standpoint, but too cloudy to suit the
growers. As a result, the cut of flowers
just before Christmas was light and this
greatly added to the troubles of the
retailer. But little stock was ,, delivered
to the stores between Tuesday and Wed-
nesday mornings and many orders went
unfilled in consequence.

Violets, which were of slow sale until
Tuesday evening, all of a sudden began
to be among the most sought for flow-
ers in the category and they were quick-
ly cleaned up. On Wednesday morning
some of the larger stores offered $2.50
per dozen bunches to the growers for
an additional supply jind,-ftlthough this
was twice the usual price, they were not
forthcoming. There is such a close bond

between the Italian violet growers and
they have such a monopoly of the busi-
ness that it was impossible to get them
to deliver any more than the ordinary
quantities, and the retailers lost many
dollars on this item, as there were prac-
tically no violets in town on Wednesday
and the demand was enormous.

Sales in general in San Francisco
averaged about twenty-five jper cent less
than the sales of one year ago, but, as
I stated before, the higher class stores
felt the stringency of money more than
the cheaper class of stores. A well-
known jeweler remarked to me after
Christmas that it was a frequent remark
among his customers when they were in-
clined to send an article of jewelry as
a present and felt that the price was

NURSERY NEWS.

AIIBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NDBSEKTMEN.

Pres., J. W. Hill, Dee Moinee la.; Vice pres.,
C. M. Hobbs. Brldgreport, Ind.: Sec'y, Geo. C.
Meager, RocheBter. N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yatea,
Rochester. N. Y. The 33d annual convention will
be held at Milwaukee, Jnne. 191S.

The Chaso Nursery, at Geneva, N.
Y., has been incorporated with $0,000
authorized capital stock. The incorpora-
tors are George N. Chase, Thomas II.
Chew and Lansing D. Hoskius.

One of tlie commendable practices of
the German emperor when he goes a
visiting is to plant memorial trees. On
his recent visit to England he dotted
that country with Cedrus Libani and C.
Atlantica glauca, and oaks. The best
trees of local nurseries were used.

Hybrid tea and tea roses are now
planted outdoors in larger numbers than
formerly, because there is a more wide-
spread knowledge of their merits than
was formerly the case. Hybrid per-
petual roses are still popular and al-
ways will be, but rose plants that will
go on giving flowers for a much longer
time cannot fail to appeal to a class of
flower lovers not so much in evidence
years ago as today, and not nearly so
much today as they will be a decade or
80 heace.

The American gooseberry mildew has
become so serious a pest in England,
and has been the subject of so much
agitation, that "the Board of Agricul-
ture and Fisheries, by virtue and in ex-
ercise of the powers vested in them un-
der the Destructive Insects and Pests
Acts, 1877 and 1907, do order, and it is
hereby ordered, as follows: The land-
ing in Great Britain of any gooseberry
bush or currant bush brought from any
place out of Great Britain is strictly
prohibited" after January 31, 1908.

PLANTING FOR TIMBER.

The numerous inquiries and other evi-
dence go far to prove that there is now-
adays much earnest consideration given
to the question of what is suitable, and
in the future will be profitable, to plant
on large areas for timber where hitherto
very little if anything in the tree line
has grown.

Of course almost everyone knows that
every kind of tree will not succeed or
even grow in any one locality. It stands
to reason, then, that it has to be ascer-
tained what kind or kinds thrive in the
neighborhood, either after being planted
by the hand of man or otherwise. That
fact being established, the next move
is to raise from seed in that same local-
ity, or somewhere else where climatic
conditions are mnch similar, trees of the
kinds favorably disposed to the soil and
climate where the planting is eventually
intended to be made.

These remarks are, though perhaps in
a somewhat less degree by reason of
greater resources for protection and lim-
ited area, afpliCable to the planting of
trees for ornamental purposes, on
grounds surrounding private residences.
The person who is planting on private
grounds has the advantage usually of
being allowed to plant nurse or protec-
tion trees at the same time those in-
tended for permanencv are planted.

The garden committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society recently visited the
greenhouses of H. A. Jahn. of New Bedford, to see his carnations. A white seedling which
is largely planted and which has been shown at Boston and other shows, was looking fine.
It is tbe most wonderfully prolific white the committee had seen. The flower is large, full
and the stem ideal.— Boston News-letter in Nov. 28. 1907, issue of The Florists' Review.

NEW CARNATION DEFIANCE

Mr. w. N. Rudd, Morgan Park, 111.

Dear Sir:--I wish to congratulate you on your splendid red car-
nation. Defiance. I have for three seasons been using part of the
cut at my two retail stores and it has made for me customers and
money. Its keeping qualities are wonderful, its color pleasing and
its form and fragrance are in keeping with its other good merits;
its only drawback being the inability to secure enough blooms, as
the local retailers all seem to want this particular variety.

Yours truly, GEORGE ASMUS .

$18.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. Usual diacounts on larg^er orders.

TOLEDO, OHIO.

The day after Christmas I'ouiul busy
Mrs. E. Slider rushing out a big weddiiig
order. She said she had not let up for
a week, all hands -norking all day and
into the night. Everything that was sal-
able went at good prices.

Chas. A. Schramm says he has no kick
coming. He was cleaned out of all flow-
ering plants and wished he had more, as
cut flowers hung fire at the high prices
asked.

John Barrow was taking a siesta
after a thirty-six-hour almost continu-
ous pegging away. There was noth-
ing left but a few fine poinsettias and
these will be used up during the next few
days in some good orders for decorations.

O. B. Wisner says he did the proper
thing when he took the store he occupies
in the Ohio building. Holiday business
was all he could\hvish.

Geo. A. Heiny hardly knew where he
stood until he had got straightened out
after the rush. He had plenty of stock
and good orders.

The Henry Phillips Seed Co. is getting
in its usual supply of seed. Fall busi-
ness was good and the firm sees no rea-
son wiiy spring demand will not come up
to the most sanguine expectations.

Chas. Phillips, of the Perennial Gar-
dens Co., says the firm lias about five
acres planted with excellent stock and
looks for big business, as the demand
for herbaceous and perennial plants is
steadily increasing. W.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

The Springfield Florists ' Club was well
represented at the meeting of the Com-
mercial Club held on the evening of De-
cember 19, to which the florists had
been specially invited. J. H. McFarland,
of Harrisburg, Pa., was the principal
speaJter. The movement in behalf of
civic improvement inaugurated at the
November banquet of the Florists' Club
has been taken up and is being ener-
getically agitated by the Commercial
Club, and will undoubtedly be forcibly
presented to our new city council, which
comes into power with the beginning of
the new year. G. D.

North Tonawaxda, N. Y. — John

FORT WAYNE, IND.

At the time of my visit to the Vesey
establishment a big wagon-load of empty
shipping boxes was being unloaded.
"Our business was never better," re-
marked Mrs. Vesey, "and from the re-
ports received from our customers, they
all did well. In fact, the holiday season
generally is ahead here of previous
years. ' '

Mrs. Vesey had just received an im-
portant communication from the secre-
tary of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the S.
A. F., Mrs. Maynard. This branch bids
fair to become a strong supporter of the
parent body. Very interesting subjects
will be broached at the next convention
and the male members of the craft will
have to be on the- qui vive not to be
caught napping. Mrs. Vesey feels proud
of the presidency and is working hard to
add another century to the roll of mem-
bership before August next.

Miss C. B. Flick reports a most satis-
factory business. Her large and beau-
tiful store was completely filled and
emptied several times around the holi-
days. The demand for flowering plants
was very satisfactory.

Geo. Doswell & Son had a good busi-
ness. Being at the cemetery, they do
considerable decorating on graves and
they notice a tendency toward permanent
decoration, in the form of shrubbery.

Lanternier & Sons cleaned out all
blooming stock.* W.

WAUSAU, WIS.

Chris. Lund has just completed two
fine greenhouses, which make a large
addition to his already extensive institu-
tion on Grand avenue. Each house cov-
ers 25x100 feet. He has now 17,000
square feet of glass. Mr. Lund super-
intended the work himself and it has
taken two months of his time. The new
houses will be used this winter to raise
vegetables. Next June American Beauty
and other roses will be started in them.
Besides this work, Mr. Lund has changed
his heating throughout from hot water
to steam.

Mr. Lund is the inventor and manu-
facturer of the Common-sense carnation
support.

BiCHMOND, Ind. — G. B. Gause's Christ-
mas business was a record breaker. The
demand for carnations was very strong;
roses sold well and there was an^ in-
creasing call for flowering and foliage
plants as compared with former years.
Prices were as good as last year.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

January 2, 1908.

NEWPORT, R. L

The sales of plants and flowers for
Christmas were fully equal, in number
and in the amount realized therefrom,
to those of former occasions. Flower-
ing plants of all the kinds were in far
greater demand than foliage plants.
Palms were especially hard to move.
Ferns went much easier, but were in no
way to be compared with Lorraine be-
gonias, cyclamens and various other
flowering plants. Poinsettias were on
hand in goodly numbers and of fair
quality. They sold readily at prices
that in some cities would be considered
good for much better stock. Ardisias
were of much better quality, relatively,
than poinsettias, but the latter were
favorites. Primulas were, on the whol^
the poorest lot of stuff ever seen here
or perhaps anywhere else.

Roses were plentiful up to Christmas
eve, when it was found that the demand
for Beauties was in excess of the supply,
and that at a good stiff price. Carna-
tions were plentiful all along, but good
holiday prices were maintained. All the
other staples in cut flowers were in stock
in large quantities, but little if any was
left over.

The business was evenly distributed,
perhaps more so than usual, with the
result that everybody is fairly well satis-
fied with the outcome. E. B.

EocHESTER, N. Y. — The Callister-
Smith Co. now conduct a business, un-
der the name of The Flower Shop, at
462 West avenue.

Buffalo, N. Y.— The Buffalo Cut
Flower Co. has been incorporated, vpith
a capital of $25,000. The directors are
John H. Gould, Louis H. Gould and
George E. Sheldon, of Middleport, N. Y.

Bridgepoet, Ind. — William Hack has
returned from a visit which he paid to
his son on board the United States war-
ship New Jersey, in Hampton Eoads,
before the vessel started on its way to
the Pacific Ocean along vrith the rest of
the fleet.

Pelargonium Purity

Why not grow PELARGONIUM PURITT as an EASTKR PLANT? They can be
had in splendid shape. Tbey are as easy to grow as a geranium, bloom early and continue
blooming for two months: make dwarf, bushy plants as pretty as an azalea, and can be sold
moie readily because cheaper. We have a few thousand In fine shape, 3-lnch stock which
we offer at $1.50 per doz : $<).00 per 100. We aho have other good varieties, ouch as Galatea,
Countess of Crew^, Gloiiosa, Countess of Warwick, Tommy Dodd, etc., $1.50 per

WAYSIDE NOTES.

I found Chris Winterich, of Defiance,
O., busy building a concrete bench. Its
lormation is as follow*: It has %-inch
piping for support, with crosspieces
placed four feet apart. Upon a wooden
irame and bottom a layer of sand is
placed, just the height, or rather the
depth, of the crosspiece. Upon this is
placed a layer of newspaper, then 1-inch
mesh poultry wire, three feet wide, upon
Which 18 placed the cement. When this
IS thoroughly dry, the wooden frame is
taken away and you have a bench that
wiil last for years. Judging by the
amount of concrete being put in, both

points east and west.

W. Ullrich, of the Ullrich Floral Co.,
Tiffin, O., expressed himself as more than
pleased with holiday business. There
was a fine stock, which went well. Flow-
ering plants took the lead. By making a
big display just previous to the holidays,
the firm seemed to get the people in the
mood for buying.

E. E. Sackett, of the Fostoria Floral
Co., Fostoria, O., says holiday business
cleaned them out completely. They do
quite a little shipping and it kept them
guessing to satisfy their patrons both at
home and abroad.

Charles Warncke, of Woodmere, Mich.,

had a heavy run on poinsettias and
ferns. He made up combination bas-
kets to order.

A. Steineke & Son, of Detroit, Mich.,
sold out of flowering plants and had a
good run on palms and Boston ferns.

Robert Flowerday, of the Detroit
Floral Co., says there is nothing to beat
poinsettias and Lorraine for combina-
tion work. He had one order of fifty
pans, to be made up on a rush for
Christmas morning, but was equal to it.
All their business is retail and kept
everyone on the rush. I noted a pretty
lot of small crotons and dracaenas from
the Robt. Craig Co. They made up hand-
somely and were not expensive. W.

TORONTO.

The Season's Business.

Now that Christmas is over and we
have had a few days for reflection, and
also time for a little figuring, we are in
a position to compare this season's busi-
ness with that of other seasons. From
general reports and personal observation,
we think that from a point of net profits
this year will surpass other years. One
reason of this is that the quaUty of stock
was better and there was ik(t so much
of it, and consequently business was done
on a more profitable basis. When there
are great quantities of stock shipped
after the greater part of it has been
held in vaults for a week or so, there is
sure to be a great amount of waste, both
to the wholesaler and retailer. This
year we found little pickled stock on
the market. The supply did not come
near to the demand; especially was the
shortage noticeable in white roses. In
fact, roses of all kinds were scarce, and
many of our retail men had nothing to
offer the public after 9 o'clock Tuesday
morning, with the probable exception of
a few palms or azaleas. However, the
quality was so uniformly good that those
who received only half their order were
able to handle that halt to good advan-
tage. Plants sold extremely well. This
made a big run on mats and baskets for
plant decoration. It is, in fact, notice-
able that plants are becoming more
popular every year. It is not a long
stretch of memory to the time when Tor-
onto was known as * * the great cut flower
city of Canada," while today plants are
taking their place along with the cut
flowers.

Miller & Son, Bracondale, had a mag-
nificent cut of Richmond roses, which were
without exception the best on the mar-
ket. George Allen, Toronto Junction,
had a splendid cut of Beauties, Killarney
roses and carnations. H. L. Janzen,
Berlin, sent in some very fine violets.

It might be mentioned that this is the
first season that the retailers cleaned up
all kinds of bulbous stock. In fact, I
do not think that there was a retailer
in Toronto who had any cut stock left
over. D. J.

MILWAUKEE.

Christmas Trade.

Trade for Christmas was somewhat
spasmodic. Buyers hesitated about plac-
ing advance orders, causing stock to
accumulate pretty heavily on Mon-
day, but at the last minute buyers came
in strong on Tuesday and the market
was pretty well cleaned up. Red, as
usual, was scarce and brought top prices
in both roses and carnations. Enchant-
ress were more numerous than ever and
took a slight slump, but sales will aver-
age up pretty well on them. "White stock
was plentiful in all lines. Romans, Pa-
per Whites, valley, lilies and stevia were
plentiful enough to meet all demands.
Violets were also plentiful and sold be-
low the average of former years. In
plants, poinsettias in pans, about three
bracts to a pot, sold well and none were
left over. Good azaleas and cyclamens
were short of demand. There was an
abundance of primroses, primulas, pep-
pers and mignonette. The retailers re-
port a good business. Taking it all in all,
this Christmas will balance up favorably
with former years. C C. P.

Greenhouse Heating.

PIPING IN MICHIGAN.

Please inform nie as to the proper
method of piping a greenhouse 20x60
feet, with hot water. The house is ex-
posed on three sides. The height from
floor to ridge is ten feet four inches.
The walls consist of sixteen inches of
glass and two feet of concrete. My
j^sa is to use fifteen lines of 2-inch pipe.
Three feeders, connecting with a 3-inch
pipe from the boiler, would run to the
farther end of the building and there
<^rop into twelve returns, which would
gradually slope back and connect with
a 3-inch pipe leading into the boiler.
Ihe bottom of the boiler is four feet
below the greenhouse floor. If the fore-
going plan. is correct, should manifolds
be used or return bends? Should the
returns run directly under the benches
or at the sides? Should the benches be
placed first or should pipes be laid and
benches built over them? F. D.

The house in question should be main-
tained at 65 to 70 degrees by using a
single 3-inch flow from the boiler direct-
ly ^} ^. *^^ ®°^ of the house, where it
Should divide to feed ten 2-inch returns.

connected by manifolds and not return
bends. At the end near the boiler the
returns should be collected by manifolds
and lead into a 3-inch return back to the
boiler. It will be more convenient and
economical to do the piping before the
benches are constructed. L. C. C.

STEAM WITHOUT NIGHT MAN.

Will you kindly tell me if it would be
advisable to run a low pressure steam
system without a night man, with nat-
ural gas as fuel? It seems to me that
by putting a regulator on the gas at
the boiler, a good safety valve on the
boiler, and thermostats in the houses, I
could go to bed and sleep without dream-
ing of being blown up or frozen out. I
have at present about 3,500 feet of glass
and am adding some each year, and
would like to change to steam if I can
do it safely without keeping a night
man. L. C. B.

By the use of automatic valves on
the gas main, to be controlled by the
boiler pressure or by thermostats in the
houses, both or either of which is per-
fectly practicable, you should be able to
maintain almost ideal conditions in the
greenhouses by means of steam installa-
tion. It will be wise to install an alarm
thermometer, to give a signal in case

anything should happen to throw the

measure and not an absolute necessity.

PIPING IN NORTH DAKOTA.

I should like to know if a 24x42
Wilks hot water boiler would be large
enough to heat my two greenhouses and
residence. The greenhouses are built
end to end, and run east and west, with
the residence at the east end. The east
house, which is protected on the east by
the residence, is 20x31 and nine feet to
the ridge. The side walls are four feet
high, triple boarded, with two feet of
glass in the south side. The required
temperature is 60 degrees. The west
house is 20x32, and requires a tempera-
ture of 50 degrees; the other dimen-
sions and the construction are alike in
the two houses. There is glass between
the two houses and in the west end. In
the residence we heat only three rooms,
one 16x16 and the other two 8x16 each.
The outside temperature is often 20 de-

grees below zero, and sometimes 30 de-
grees below for a short time. "Would a
Kroeschell boiler, No. 1, bo altogether
too large for this work? A. D. S.

The house to be carried at 60 degrees
should have sixteen 2-inch pipes installed
in it. The house to be heated to 50 de-
grees, which is more exposed, should
have fifteen 2-inch pipes. If an inde-
pendent flow is carried from the boiler
to each house and to the dwelling, a 2-
inch pipe will serve in each case. If all
are to be carried on one riser, then a
3-inch pipe will be necessary up to the
second greenhouse, beyond which a 2-
inch pipe can be carried. An independ-
ent flow to each is preferable, however.
The 24x42 boiler is just about large
enough, when working at its highest
rated capacity, to heat the two green-
houses, without the dwelling. It would
be wise to get a larger boiler, one rated
to carry at least 1,000 feet of radiation.
L. C. C.

THREE CONNECTED HOUSES.

It is our intention in the spring to
erect a range of three connected green-
houses, each 281/4x100 feet, running
north and south, with a potting-shed
and engine-room, fourteen feet wide, all
along the north end. The side walls will
be four feet and a half high, with double
thick boards. The houses will measure
twelve feet to the ridge. They are to
be used for the growing of carnations
and pot plants. In this New Jersey
climate, how many runs of steam pipes
will be required to maintain a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees! The engine room
is at the northwest corner.

Where would be a good place to ar-
range a propagating bench of about 800
square feet? A. J. B.

Each house can be piped by using a
3-inch flow under the ridge and sixteen
114-inch pipes or returns arranged
along the side walls or under the
benches, according to the amount of bot-
tom heat desired in the houses.

A lean-to house built along the north
wall of the potting shed would make a
very satisfactory propagating bouse. If
space in the other houses is to be used,
I see little preference except as regards
convenience, in which event I should
choose a portion of a side bench near
the potting shed. L. C. C.

ST. PAUL,

' ' The best ever ' ' is the way everyone
in the trade speaks of the Christmas
trade. Weather conditions for ten days
preceding Christmas were ideal and that
alone accounts for the big trade. Stocks
on the whole were good and enough for
demands, except that more red roses and
red carnations could have been sold.

In the plant line well grown poinset-
tias sold at sight. Palms and ferns were
in good demand. Cyclamen were in favor
and Lorraine begonias also sold well, as
did azaleas, primroses and other bloom-
ing stock. In cut flowers the only item
that lagged was Beauties and while there
was a demand for them the leading stores
had left over stocks of them.

In the green line, holly was of indiffer-
ent quality and in short supply. All the
dealers were cleaned out of it early. Bou-
quet green wreathing sold well and was
plentiful.

An abundance of funeral work since
Christmas has kept stocks normal.

JERSEY CITY, N. J.

MANCHESTER, MASS.

The North Shore Horticultural Society
held its regular meeting December 20,
with President McGregor in the chair.
A. E. Parsons, gardener to E. S. Grew,
read a paper on carnations, covering the
subject in a very able manner. Com-
mencing with the propagating bench and
the cutting, Mr. Parsons took his audi-
ence through the successive stages of the
growth of the plant until he turned out
the finished flower. He referred briefly
to watering, ventilating, feeding and the
various diseases and insect enemies which
menace the existence of tlie plant and
which the successful grower must over-
come. Mr. Parsons well merited the vote
of thanks which the society extended to
him for his paper.

James Salter followed Mr. Parsons
with a few extempore remarks on the
same subject. Both men produce first-
class blooms, though they differ in their
treatment of the growing plants. Mr.
Parsons plants his young stock out in
the garden or field, and plants out in
the benches about August 1 to 15, while
Mr. Salter plants his young stock in
boxes until well rooted and transplants
from the boxes to the flowering bench
about May 1. The results in both cases
are first-class blooms. There is a reason
for Mr. Salter's treatment and its name
is stem-rot; if the two gentlemen should
exchange locations and soils, they would
also exchange ideas.

Mr. Parsons had on exhibition a vase
each of Beacon, Enchantress and Lady
Bountiful, for which the society award-
ed him a certificate of merit.

the officers for the ensuing year will be

FUNERAL WORK.

Wreath of Magnolia Leaves.

When it is desired to make a wreath
of magnolia leaves the leaves should all
face in one direction, or, rather, in two
directions. An empire shape of frame
makes the nicest magnolia wreath, in my
estimation. To make one of this style,
moss the frame up quite high, especially
at the large part of the frame; then
begin with small leaves at the smallest
part of the frame, fastening the leaves
to the moss with fern pins. You can
use the broken up leaves for this pur-
pose, as they serve but as a background.
Now wire up a lot of leaves to tooth-
picks and commence at the small end
of the wreath, as before. Stick the
leaves quite close to the moss, and work
toward the wide part of the frame, us-
ing larger leaves as you proceed. The
leaves should be placed close together,
80 as to give the effect of a wreath
hewn out of stone. Spread out as you
work along, making the piece larger and
larger. Both sides should be made in
the same way, leaving a fair-sized place
for the flowers at the large end; here
the leaves should, of course, cover the
moss, as in the galax wreath.

The flowers on a wreath of this kind
should, of course, be of a rich kind.
Valley, orchids, roses or some of the
finer flowers should be used; otherwise
you cheapen the appearance of the leaves.
Arrange the flowers in a cluster, using
some suitable green between. Several
cycas leaves also go well with magnolia
leaves.

In the magnolia wreath in the illustra-
tion shown December 26, with the first
of these notes, the leaves were ar-
ranged as in the foregoing description.
Four cycas leaves were used. The ar-
rangement of the valley, orchids and
lilies you can see for yourself. The
large bow of ribbon is of the orchid
shade.

Formal Wreaths.

Another and decidedly different style
of wreath is one which has about two-
thirds of its surface made solidly of
white, either carnations, or asters, or
small mums, etc. In filling the frame,
give the moss a rounding shape ; this will
aid you in securing a nice, round, solid
effect. The balance of the piece can
be made up in many ways. A loese
bunch of flowers, laid diagonally across
the one side of the wreath and tied with
a bow, makes a very pretty piece.

Many Styles of Wreatlis.

Of course, there are numerous other
ways of making wreaths; so many, in
fact, that they are almost beyond de-
scription.

For instance, a large wreath of all
bhes gives a very rich effect. Or a large
wreath may be made up loosely of, say,
one-third roses, one-third carnations and
the balance of Ulies, orchids, valley, etc.
ihe whole should be fastened to an

easel, as is the wreath in the illustration,
and tied with a bow with long streamers.
In a wreath of this style I would have
the roses and carnations slanting a little
downward or toward the center of the
lowest part of the frame.

Easels or Stands.

The question as to the placing of the
wreath on an easel or stand, of course,
depends to a large extent on how the
customer desires it to be. Some wreaths

shows up to as good advantage as when
placed on an easel. In many cases where
wreaths are ordered by the family or
a near relative of the deceased, the cus-
tomer wants them lying flat.

The Use of Ribbons.

The matter of ribbons on wreaths also
depends largely on the wishes of the pur-
chaser. In many instances a bow great-
ly improves the piece, as in a large
wreath on an easel or a wreath of all
galax or magnolia.

There is much more that could be told
about the subject of this article, but as
there really would be no limit to the dis-
cussion, we will leave the rest to the
artistic taste and imagination of the de-
signer. Hugo Schroeter.

look out of place on an easel or stand,
as, for instance, a small wreath of vio-

small wreath is better lying flat. A
large wreath, on the other hand, never

with the San Francisco florists and there

of the ordinary. For the last few sea-
sons" the so-called Oregon grape, or
Mahonia Aquifolium, has been largely
used in funeral designs, either as a solid
mass or for trimming, in place of smi-
lax or some other green. This beauti-
ful shrub attains its best condition after
it has been touched by the frost and
its color changes to a rich, glossy brown
and green. It is very graceful and is
easy to handle. It is very lasting and
makes a beautiful desig^n when worked
in this way. A few minutes will suffice
to make a large design and^t has helped
many a florist to cover up a good quan-
tity of moss when flowers were very
scarce. It has to a great extent taken
the place of galas leaves in California
and is a much more durable and graceful
article.

Galax leaves are apparently not used
as much this seasoii as formerly, but
they are yet much in evidence, espe-
cially in the cheaper classes of work.
Green ivy leaves have been practically
superseded by them, as they are easier
to keep on hand in a good condition and
are a much more glossy color.

Laurel leaves are occasionally seen.
The variety used is the well-known
Laurus cerasus. Magnolia grandiflora
leaves are used sometimes in the same
way, . but not to any great extent.
Wreaths of wild huckleberry are made
sometimes, but it is a rather stiff propo-
sition to break up to advantage and
much of it has to be wasted before a
sufficient quantity can be had to pro-
vide graceful stems.

Maidenhair wreaths are still much
used. Either solid or with a bunch of
carnations on the side, they make a beau-
tiful design. The finer sorts of maiden-
hair can be used to advantage, but they
are not good keepers and are only of
value for immediate effect.

There has been quite a run on violet
designs. The Princess of Wales is the
only variety used, and for a great por-
tion of the season it is by far the cheap-
est article in the cut flower line for the
florist to use. With a sprinkling of ferns
and violet leaves a very acceptable de-
sign can be made at a very slight cost.

Orchids in combination with ferns
and asparagus make very acceptable
high-class wreaths, but unfortunately
our supply of orchid blooms is very short
on the Pacific coast and all the dealers

complain that they are afraid to recom-
mend them very highly to their custom-
ers, as the chances are not always good
of being able to secure the stock after it
has been ordered.

The Pacific coast is young yet in the
flower growing industries, and probably
before many years there will be enough
orchids and other expensive stock grown
to supply the demand. Q.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

the interest taken in the society's affairs
is largely dependent upon the personal-
ity of the leader in the chair, the man
who collects the coin is the one who pro-
vides the means of club activity; his
tact has much to do with the mainte-
nance of the membership list among
those who do not attend the meetings.

J. E. Jensen will be the next financial
secretary of the Chicago Florists' Club.
He is popular and widely known in the
trade and his selection for this important
office was a happy choice of the nomi-
nating committee. Mr. Jensen was born
in Viborg, Denmark, August 23, 1878.
At 14 he entered upon a four years '
apprenticeship embracing all branches of
horticulture, after which he started out
to see a little of the world. After a
short experience in Germany he landed
in London and spent a few months each
in a number of the leading establish-
ments, arriving at New York March 17,
1899. His first employment in this coun-
try was with Hugo Book, Worcester,
Mass.

After a brief time he decided to make
carnation growing a specialty, and se-
cured a position with Peter Fisher, Ellis,
Mass., where he remained for nearly two
years and a half, making such good prog-
ress in the art that the last year and a
half was spent in the capacity of fore-
man. This was at the time Enchantress
was disseminated, and Mr. Jensen went
west to enter the employ of the Thomp-
son Carnation Co., Joliet, of which es-
tablishment he was in full charge for
almost three years, leaving there Febru-
ary 1, 1905. After a trip to the Pa-
cific coast Mr. Jensen formed his present
partnership with J. S. Dekema, as Jen-
sen & Dekema, growing carnations exclu-
sively. Mr. Dekema has been on the
Pacific coast for his health for some
months, so that the whole responsibility
for the firm's success rests with Mr. Jen-'
sen. He is a member of the American
Carnation Society, the Society of Amer-
ican Florists, is a Mason and an Elk.

MARGUERITES FOR EASTER.

Can Queen Alexandra daisies, which
are in 2^ -inch or 3-inch pots now, be had
in bloom for Easter, say in 5-inch or
6-inch potst H. C. O.

Queen Alexandra marguerites, if shift-
ed into 5-inch pots now, grown along
carefully and given a further shift into
7-inch pots later, will make excellent
plants and be in good season for Easter.
These can be grown in a comparatively
cool house. A temperature of 45 to 50
degrees at night is sufficient. C. W.

NAME OF BEGONIA.

I send by this mail leaves of a begonia
for name. It has pink flowers and
grows twelve to eighteen inches high. I
think it is a scarce variety. Is it a good
or valuable commercial variety!

S. J. G.

As nearly as I can tell, the leaves are
those of Begonia Gloire de Sceaux, a
rather scarce variety in America. It is
well spoken of as a winter bloomer in
Europe and promises to become a useful
commercial sort here. I do not believe it
will compare with B. Gloire de Lorraine
or even B. incarnata as a Christmas va-
riety, as its blo'oming period is a little
later; still, it is well worthy of a good
trial. C. W.

UQUE) FEEDING.

From now on during the remainder of
the season, where the plants are in a
vigorous condition and the benches full
of roots, stimulants in a liquid form
can be used with great benefit.

For this purpose there is nothing bet-
ter and safer than fresh cow manure
from well fed stock, as this contains
nearly all the elements necessary to plant
life, and in the proper proportions, and
possesses few of those caustic properties
so prevalent in chemical preparations.

To prepare this properly, the manure
should be placed in a tank with sufficient
water added to cause speedy fermenta-
tion. After fermentation, the liquid
should be drained off into another tank
and water added to reduce it to the
required strength. The first applica-
tions should always be weak. After ap-
plications can be made gradually strong-
er without incurring much danger.

The correct time to apply this is when
the young wood is from »three to five
inches long and it should be continued at
least every alternate week until the buds
are well developed, and should be dis-
continued when the buds show color.

As liquid food is so quickly and easily
assimilated, great care should be exer-
cised regarding its strength, especially
where any chemical preparations are
added. The use of ammonia and nitrate
of soda at certain stages of growth is
very beneficial, but being powerful and
immediate in their effect they should be
used with great caution.

During dark weather it is safer to re-
frain from strong and frequent feeding.

VARIETIES IN SAME HOUSE.

grees. Whether it requires feeding or
not, will be a question of the future.

BiBES.

Brides, Bridesmaids, Chatenay and
Richmond do well at the same tempera-
ture and with the same kind of treat-
ment. Killarney has done better with
me, and with many others, at a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees and can stand a lot
of feeding. As Rhea Eeid is a new rose
and has never been under my care, I can
say little about it. Being of the Beauty
type and of a good constitution, it ought
to succeed at a temperature of 58 de-

PROPAGATING COCHET ROSES.

What is the proper method of propa-
gating Cochet roses? I tried two batches
in sand in September and October, with
no success. J. P, K.

Cochet roses, when grown outside,
should have an abundance of half -rip-
ened wood in August and September,
which will root readily if the proper
conditions are complied with.

Prepare a frame with the lower side
at least ten inches deep. Place six
inches of clean sand in it> this must be
six inches deep after being made firm
enough to receive the cuttings. The cut-
tings should be inserted at least two
inches and a half in the sand. Water
thoroughly and shade with some light
material for three or four weeks. Some
growers are very successful with only
lath shades as protectors. Water and
syringe very sparingly. BiBES.

Begonia Incanuta.

Many commercial growers do not grow
Begonia incarnata and probably not a
few have never seen it. While it will
never equal Gloire de Lorraine in popu-
larity, it is nevertheless a splendid va-
riety, erect and more robust in habit
than Lorraine, but equally floriferous,
the flowers being a trifle paler in color,
a beautiful soft pink shade. This be-
gonia is hardly at its best for Christ-
mas, but for decorative effects in Jan-
uary and February it is hard to beat.
There is a much improved form of B.
incarnata, which we believe originated
near Boston. The flowers in this case
are double the size of those in the old
type. This begonia is much more easily
propagated than Lorraine. After the
flowering season has passed, prune back
the plants, which will soon send up a
crop of fleshy shoots. These will root
readily in bottom heat. Potted off and
grown along, they will make bushy stock
in 6-inch pots for winter flowering.
Some pinching will be necessary to keep
the plants shapely. This begonia grows
well stood outdoors during July and
August, being, in fact, benefited by such

treatment. It is a plant well worthy the
increased attention of florists.

Begonia Rex.

There is a fair call for plants of those
handsome, ornamental-leaved begonias,
the Bex section. They make good house
plants and have the advantage of being
almost free from insect pests. Now ia
a good time to increase the stock of the
best selling varieties. Propagation is
very simple and the merest novice can
hardly fail in rooting Bex begonias. Cut
weU matured leaves in pieces an inch
square, discarding the tWn outer edges
as being least likely to root. Set these
on edge close together, as you would
carnations, in a brisk bottom heat. Give
a good soaking of water; afterward
water more sparingly until the little
plants appear, when more moisture can
be afforded. Place in 2 1^ -inch pots of
leaf -mold and sand, and keep in a warm,
moist house until established, after which
somewhat cooler quarters will be suit-
able. If a propagating bed is not at
liberty, you can root Bex begonias by
merely laying the old leaves on a layer
of moss below the benches in a warm

house. Make a few cuts in the leaves
and you will get plenty of young plants.
These begonias are very useful for plant-
ing outdoors in summer under trees,
where flowering plants fail, and are also
quite effective in piazza or window boxes
where there is but little sunphine.

Lorraine Begonias.

It is time to make a start with the
propagation of that most popular of all
winter-flowering begonias, Lorraine.

* Probably you have sold the major por-
tion of your best plants, and sales from
now onward will be more limited. Leaf
cuttings must be depended upon now,
as it will be some time before the plants
have suitable cuttings. Our experience
has been that stock propagated from
leaves gives more vigorous plants, carry-
ing heavier foliage and larger flowers,
but the latter are produced less densely
on the plants, which is a decided advan-
tage, the great objection made by many
to Lorraine begonias being that they
carry too many flowers in proportion to
the foliage. A propagating bench where
a bottom heat of 75 to 80 degrees can
be maintained, with a slightly lower at-
mospheric reading, will be very suitable.
The sand should not be too fine, or it
may prove hardly porous enough, with a
consequent loss from damping of the
leaves. Add some fine charcoal to sand
inclined to be too close. It will sweeten
it and give it porosity. Select strong
leaves and leave an inch or more of the
atem attached. Let the leaves merely
touch the sand. Avoid an oversupply of
water, to prevent decaying of the leaves,
and in from four to six weeks little
plants should make their appearance,

" several on the best leaves. These can be
potted off singly and kept growing in
a close, warm atmosphere.

Fuchsias.

It is pleasing to note the coming again
of those old-time favorites, the fuchsias.
Barely now do we see the specimens
which some of the old practitioners used
to pride themselves in growing. In Eu-
rope they are not infrequently striking
features at the summer shows. In the
west of England plants eight to ten feet
high are sometimes exhibited. Our hot
summers make it difficult to produce such
plants here and, as the flowering period
is shorter, the general plan is to root
cuttings each year, carry a few over for
stock and discard the balance. Plants
which have been kept somewhat dry in
a cool house, if brought into moderate
warmth — 55 degrees at night is sufficient-
ly high — will soon produce a crop of
strong cuttings, which, if rooted in sand,
potted and grown along, will make nice
plants for Memorial day trade. Euchsiaa
work in very nicely for filling vases,
standing in moderate shade. They also
make excellent plants for window boxes.
They may be had in bloom over a long
period by pinching the shoots and re-
moving all flower buds until a week or
two before they are wanted in bloom.

Heliotropes.

That popular, sweet-scented plant, the
heliotrope, is always in good demand.
As a bedding plant it is hard to beat,
being always in bloom, and neither dry
weather nor excess of moisture seems to
affect it in the least. A good batch of
cuttings should be gotten in now. None
will fail to root in a warm house, if
well watered. These, when potted off,
will soon yield a further lot of shoots
for propagating purposes and it will be

found easy to get an ample stock in
readiness for spring sales.

Verbenas.

If you have carried over a number of
verbenas for propagating purposes, they
will now give you a good crop of suit-
able cuttings. Get these into a propa-
gating bed without delay. It may seem
early to root verbenas, but these little
plants can themselves furnish consider-
able additional cuttings before long. Do
not grow them in a warm house; 50 de-
grees at night is quite high enough.
Many growers do not trouble themselves
with cuttings at all, preferring seed-
lings. As separate shades of color can
be had from all reliable seed firms, this
is really the better method of propaga-

there will be no probability of aphis
or any other pests troubling them. Plants
coming along for late winter or early
spring flowering must be grown cool;
45 degrees at night is ample. The sun
is not yet powerful enough to be harm-
ful and therefore no shade is necessary.
Manure water once a week will now be
found very beneficial. An occasional
dose of soot water will keep the foliage
up to the mark and help to add intensity
to the flowers.

Foliage Plants.

Take advantage of wintry weather,
when other work is not so pressing, to
overhaul these and clean the foliage
thoroughly. This is especially beneficial
to palms, which should never be allowed

tion. Buy the best quality seed and sow
a good batch of it sometime during the
month of January.

Geraniums.

The little geraniums are now growing
fast and will require more space almost
every week. Any still remaining in sand
should be potted at once. Do not water
too freely the plants which have been
newly potted, and be sure to have the
foliage dry at night, to prevent damping
off. Continue to take cuttings from any
old stock plants yon have. They will
root very easily just now, while firing
is heavy and before there are any wide
fluctuations in temperature.

Cyclamens.

Seedlings of cyclamens potted off when
advised a few weeks ago will now be
rooting nicely in their receptacles. Keep
the surface soil stirred and let the
little plants have the fullest light. If
you fumigate the houses once a week.

TTie Weekly Florists' Review*

THE BALTIMORE EXCHANGE.

One of the most successful of the many
efforts made by growers to place the mar-
keting of their product on a cooperative
ba43is is that made by the growers in the
vicinity of Baltimore. It was in 1890
that the Baltimore Florists' Exchange
was incorporated and it has therefore
entered upon its eighteenth year, which
places it among the most venerable of
these florists' organizations.

Business was begun on Liberty street,
Baltimore, in a small basement, which
later was abandoned for a location across
the way, where a street floor was avail-
able. For a time the market was located
on Park avenue and later, when larger
quarters again were in need, the exchange
was removed to Eutaw street. After the
several removals, when greater facilities

tains a storage vault 20x33 and there is
a cool room of half this size on the main
floor for cut flowers.

The officers of the corporation are:
President, E. A. Seidewitz; vice-presi-
dent, F. C. Bauer ; treasurer, W. G. Lehr ;
secretary, C. E. Akehurst ; directors, I. H.
Moss, William Feast, J. M. Eider; man-
ager, John J. Perry.

Nearly all these officials are well known
to the trade, the president of the corpora-
tion having been mayor of Annapolis,
Md., where his greenhouses and nursery
are located. He has a retail flower store
at 323 North Charles street in Baltimore,
and is in addition one of Baltimore's
enthusiastic bowlers, so he is identified
with practically every branch of trade
activity. Manager Perry, upon whom

once more became necessary the manage-
ment concluded that the best thing to do
was to erect a suitable building and one
which should anticipate the needs of the
future. The plan finally bore fruit last
year in the erection of the building shown
in the pictures on pages 8 and 9, which
was put up at a cost of $30,000. It is
paid for and the corporation on a divi-
dend basis.

While the btisiness has grown steadily
throughout the life of the exchange, the
increase in the last few years was par-
ticularly rapid and since occupying its
new building a still greater increase has
been noted. A large number of both
growers and retailers in the Baltimore
district are stockholders and in addition
to providing ample facilities for handling
the business in cut flowers, plants and
supplies, a hall was provided for the use
of the Baltimore Gardeners ' and Florists '
Club in the second story. The pictures
show the salesroom. The basement con-

depends, has devoted all his time to its
interests for many years, and is capable
of holding up his end in any company of
wholesalers.

THRIPS ON BEDDING PLANTS.

Please advise me as to the best rem-
edy for thrips on bedding plants, what
to use to get rid of them and how to use
it. My house is 18x100 feet. F. T.

Fumigation with tobacco smoke is the
sovereign remedy for thrips. If they
have secured a good foothold on your
plants I would advise fumigating on al-
ternate days for a week, not giving too
strong doses. This should clean the pests
out pretty well, but it will be necessary
to give fumigations once a week or you
will soon be in trouble again. Diluted
tobacco extracts used through a force
pump are effective and in the case of a
batch of badly affected plants it may be

well to adopt this remedy. Fir tree oil,
seal oil and whale oil soap may all be
used for the same purpose. Clear water
from the hose applied through a spray
nozzle is also one of the best preventives
of thrips. Attend to the fumigations,
ply the hose freely among your plants
during favorable weather and avoid a
dry atmosphere and thrips will soon
cease troubling you. C. W.

COMPETITION, FAIR AND FOUL.

[A paper by S. S. Skldelsky, of PhUadelphla,
read before the Philadelphia Florists' Clab Janu-
ary 7, 1908.]

Competition, it is claimed, is the life
of trade, and so perhaps it is, providing,
of course, that the "live and let live"
principle is not lost sight of.

It is an axiomatic ^ruth, and we are
beginning to realize it, to some extent at
least, that success in its broader sense
hinges not upon the failure of others but
upon the general welfare and prosperity
of the community.

The idea that one man's failure con-
stitutes another man's success, or vice
versa, as we have been led to believe by
those whose vision is circumscribed by
the ramifications of their pocketbooks,
has long since been relegated, in theory
at least, to the rubbish heap of similar
fallacies, having no foundation in fact.
The infamous financier, for example,
who attempted to corner the gold mar-
ket and succeeded in plunging the coun-
try into a panic, was no more of a suc-
cess in life than the savage in the jun-
gle who strangles his antagonist in order
to possess himself of a few brass trin-
kets. Both are dismal failures, notwith-
standing the apparent ascendency of
might over right.

The progressive business man of today
is inclined to take a broader and more
rational view of business conditions and
business opportunities. It begins to
dawn upon him that the fundamental
principle underlying the success of any
enterprise, great or small, must first of
all be sound in itself, else no enterprise
can possibly endure.

Power of Public Opinion.

Go where one may and look where
we choose, the signs of the times point
clearly to a general awakening of public
conscience, to a general revival of that
spirit of justice which, since times im-
memorial and throughout the whole range
of history, both ancient and modern, was
never known to fail in its struggle for
a worthy cause.

The Standard Oil Co., well-nigh a king-
dom and a law unto itself ; the tobacco
trust, the beef trust, and many another
corporation of questionable repute, whose
colossal fortunes were amassed at the
expense of an indifferent and patient
people, and who defied public opinion
and strangled competition by means that
were foul and methods that were adverse
to the public welfare — all these are called
to account at last. Their day of reck-
oning seems to have come. A mighty
avalanche of public opprobrium, which
has been gathering momentum for some
time, bids fair to sweep down and hurl
itself upon the heads of the malefactors
with a force that will be crushing in its
effect. "Fair play" and "a square
deal ' ' seem to be the cry of the hour.

We seem to realize at last that the
"corrupt man of business," to quote
President Boosevelt, "is as great a foe
to the country as the corrupt politician. ' '
We hear it also from the pulpit, at the

bankers' banquet table, in the corner
grocery store.

We seem to realize that the time has
come to call a halt to iniquities, that
God Almighty had never intended to con-
centrate all the privileges and all the
opportunities in the hands of the few,
that the world is broad enough for all
willing to try their chances in it.

The Rdgn of Selfishness.

It is claimed — and not without good
reason, perhaps — that the wave of mate-
rialism -which has swept our country is
gradually expending its force and that
the succeeding generation will witness a
complete transformation in our ideals
and in our moral make-up. . Be that as
it may, the fact is patent that our tend-
encies and aspirations are still steeped in
the mire of greed, that we still resemble
our brothers in the jungle, one arrayed
against the other, the strong preying
upon the weak, the mighty crushing the
small fry.

That green monster. Jealousy, prompt-
ed by the inexorable dictator, the Al-
mighty Dollar, not only rules amid us,
but it rules us with an iron rod which,
at times, and to many of us, is well-nigh
unbearable.

*' Peace on earth and good will toward
men" is a beautiful injunction, having
the right ring to it — in church, but no-
where else. In our daily intercourse with

to prove that two multiplied by two
make four. Nor need I depart far from
my course in quest of examples in order
to illustrate the striking contrast be-
tween the methods of fair and those of
foul competition. Examples of both are
at our very doors. We b^old the one
with a feeling of satisfaction and we be-
come inspired with confidence in our fel-
low man; the sight of the other fills us
with disgust and suspicion.

Fair competition courts the light of
day. Having nothing to fear and noth-
ing to conceal, it stands upon a pedestal
of its own creation, firm and indestruct-
ible, in full view of an exacting multi-
tude. It is eager to prove and to con-
vince, striving to achieve its success not
by the circuitous way of fraud and de-
ception, but by the straighter path of
honorable means and honest business
methods. Fair competition believes in the
"live and let live" principle. Having
learned that lesson in its own school of
experience, it is eager to promulgate its
truth to the world at large, fearing no
detriment to its own interests, no ill re-
sults to its own pocketbook. It is like an
open book, accessible to all wishing to
peruse its pages.

Merit Wins in the End.

Fair competition goes into the open
market, firmly convinced that merit must
and will win in the end, that success, if

our fellow men, some of us think, we
cannot possibly be governed by such ob-
solete rules. "Business is business"
bears a more practical sound to our ears.
It is our favorite slogan and, in our esti-
mation, it is broad and powerful enough
to cover up a multitude of sins.

It is not my object, however, to deal
in platitudes, nor do I wish to assume
the role of the preacher, whose business
it is to exhort his audience.

Fair and Foul Gmtrasted.

The subject I have chosen for my pa-
per need not necessarily take me into a
labyrinth of figures and data in order

it is to be permanent, must rest not upon
the quicksand of uncertainty, but upon
the bed rock of stability.

It makes no rash promises; it shuns
reckless statements; it abhors falsifica-
tions and adulterations of all sorts, ever
aiming to improve rather than to cheapen
quality, ever striving to win and to hold
public confidence, without which success
is impossible.

Fair competition does not cringe, does
not fawn and does not sham, such des-
picable methods being foreign to its busi-
ness policy. Nor does it concern itself
with the affairs of its rivals for the pur-
pose of ascertaining their methods in

order to underbid and to undersell them.
If John sees fit to peddle his 4-inch

feraniums at 60 cents or 75 cents per
ozen, heralding that fact for months
in advance in the "locals," with a view
to cornering the geranium market and
incidentally putting his rival out of busi-
ness, it is John's own affair, of course.
Fair competition does not attempt to
follow his methods, much less to "go
him one better," knowing full well that
such prices do not cover the cost of pro-
duction, let alone a living profit, and
realizing that by attempting to corner
the market John will inevitably get into
a tight corner himself. And the final
result generally confirms this opinion.

A Fundamental Principle.

Fair competition has mapped out its
own way of doing things and it follows
its own business methods. It reasons
thus: The principle that the cost of pro-
duction, plus the cost of marketing the
product, plus a legitimate profit, equals
the price to the consumer, is clearly de-
fined and based upon strict business
lines, and any deviation from this
straight business course, either one way
or the other, must inevitably result either
in a loss of confidence and custom, if the
quality of the product be cheapened, oj
in financial ruin to the concern itself if
quality be maintained at the expense of
its legitimate profit.

A sense of propriety deters me from
citing examples of concerns that have
gone to the wall because of such rea-
sons, and other concerns that are heading
that way by leaps and bounds.

Having arrived at this logical conclu-
sion, fair competition becomes conscious
of its own impregnable position. It has
cast its anchor, as it were, in the harbor
of safety, never fearing the assaults and
calumnies of the numerous cheap Johns
who would fain see a tidal wave engulf
their successful competitor.

I doubt if any of the gentlemen pres-
ent here will take exception to my asser-
tion that foul competition is a curse to
the business world.

The Bait of Cheapness*

Being utterly devoid of business prin-
ciples or any other sort of principles,
foul competition works on the assump-
tion that there are fools — a plenty —
eager to swallow the tempting bait, hook
and all, called "Cheap."

Cheap! The very word has a sinister
meaning if considered in its proper light.
Cheap bulbs, like cheap clothes, yield but
cheap results. Cheap plants come dear
in the end. A cheap design, a floral
monstrosity at so many nickels or dimes
per foot, is a veritable sore to the eye,
as well as an insult to the dead, and so
all along the line.

Foul competition does not end here,
however. There is a type of it which is
so low and degraded, so vile and treach-
erous, that the wonder is how any re-
spectable and self-respecting business
man can tolerate the moral stench of its
very presence. Conceived in iniquity and
fostered in an atmosphere of fraud and
corruption, unscrupulous, morally dis-
torted, suave and cunning, foul competi-
tion has but one object in view and that
to attain its ignoble end, regardless of
means.

In its anxiety to grasp everything
within sight, it is by no means content
with the "purse" only, which the great-
est poet of all times characterizes as
"trash" and the slave of thousands. It
goes a step or two farther, considering it

good business tactics to reflect upon the
name and the honor and to attack the
reputation of a rival in business. It
never occurs to these fellows that "he
who steals my purse steals trash, but he
that filches from me my good name robs
me of that which not enriches him and
makes me poor indeed."

Defaming a'G>mpetitor.

Honor and justice are empty sounds
to their ears, and business ethics are an
unknown quantity to them. They will not
at all hesitate to tell you that the design
or the decoration put up by Mr. Brown
is not worth half the price paid for it,
that the work is poor and that Mr.
Brown is a foxy fellow anyway, one who
will bear watching. On the road they
will make it their business to sling dirt
in every direction, in the hope of strik-
ing some competitor or other, leaving a
trail of moral filth behind them which,
to the fair-minded man, is nauseating in
the extreme.

They will pick up a plant of a rival
concern and will pass judgment upon it
there and then. In their estimation it is
a very poor specimen indeed, the price
paid for it being most unreasonable, of
course.

New varieties of carnations lend them-
selves especially to attacks and to
"knock-out blows," and these are often
dealt without mercy. * * Don 't touch it, ' '
you will hear them say; "it is a crop-
per, it has a weak constitution, it makes
a measly growth, the calyx bursts, the
blooms are ragged, the stem is short, and
you had better leave it alone," and all
this assault without having the faintest
idea of the true merit or faults of the
variety in question.

Some Ghoulish Work.

If it be a batch of lily bulbs going
or gone to the bad, as often happens,
here is a splendid opportunity to put
in their ghoulish work. As a matter
of course, they say, the concern that
supplied these bulbs is to be blamed
for the poor results. The concern in
question, they will tell you, is a back
number anyway and is losing prestige
and ground every day. In fact, there
are all sorts of rumors. Has not some-
body told him of somebody somewhere
in Missouri or Connecticut who had
a similar experience with lily bulbs

bought of this very unreliable concern?
In fact, Mr. So ard So had the same
trouble during the past few seasons,
"but now that he has our bulbs, you
ought to see his lilies — perfect peaches
and no mistake."

To be sure, men of this ilk soon show
their true colors and, like all scamps,
they will sooner or later defeat their
own ends. Nevertheless, the mischief
they create has, for the time being at
least, a demoralizing effect upon an
otherwise good business situation.

How to discourage such abominable
practices and counteract such pernicious
influences upon the trade is indeed a
vital problem, which is well worth our
serious consideration. If it be true,
as somebody has aptly put it, that "no
shady transaction can stand the lime-
light of publicity, ' ' it may be worthy of
our effort to turn on that light in its
full force.

Says Dr. Torrey, the evangelist, "A
business man who says that every oth«r
business man is dishonest or a liar is a
liar and a thief himself."

An evil that affects us all alike must
not be ignored. A sneak at random, to
say the least, is a troublesome creature.

CHEER UP.

The Eichmond (Ind.) Item January
4 was a "Cheer Up" number and con-
tained expressions of opinion from a
large number of local concerns as to the
outlook for 1908. The E. G. Hill Co.
said:

' ' We believe that 1908 will be another
prosperous year. In October we were a
badly frightened firm; we saw little op-
portunity for materially curtailing our
expenses without serious results, for a
greenhouse plant cannot be shut down
like a factory; fires and water and wages
must go on, or the loss will be total;
our collections stopped as short as if
we had had no ledger accounts; as
our only means of retrenchment we cut
our time to eight hours. Early in No-
vember collections suddenly came back
to normal, ordefs for spring delivery
came in, an unusual number of interest-
ing inquiries were received for quota-
tions, cut flowers brought good prices
in the wholesale market, and we at once
went back not only to the ten-hour day,
but considerable overtime, and were able
to pay all current bills, greatly to our
relief.

"The local cut flower trade has not
had the full volume of 1905 and 1906,
which we attribute largely to the num-
ber of workmen who have been laid off
during the past months, but this has
been fully offset by our wholesale re-
turns.

"The administration has been severe-
ly criticised in many quarters for bring-
ing on the panic, but in our opinion Sec-
retary Taft's splendid exposition of the
causes, effects, and his warrant of faith
in a prosperous future, vnll do much
toward setting the public mind squarely
right and at ease again.

"Using our best judgment, after care-
fully going over conditions, both local
and generlS, we believe that the finan-
cial storm is past and that we have fair
sailing ahead for 1908."

G. K. Gause said: "The year 1907
has been a prosperous one, and I am
confident that 1908 will be equally
good if not better than the one just
past. The demapd for flowers is stead-
ily on the increase, and I can see no rea-
son for any other than a bright future
for business."

The Advance Co. said: "We have
had a remarkably good run of business

the paat year — at times taxing our abil-
ity to take care of the same. Although
this is the dull season in our principal
line of business, orders continue to drop
in at frequent intervals, thus showing
an optimistic feeling on the part of our
customers. It is rather early, and at the
same time too close to the holidays to
say much as {o the future. Our trade
begins to figure in earnest and to order
■when the spring weather begins to swell
the buds, etc. We anticipate a good
trade for the year 1908, judging from
the amount of inquiries, etc. Our collec-
tions have been very good and we have
not seen any material difference in the
last three or four months over that of
previous years covering the same time."

LOCATION OF GREENHOUSES.

Would you kindly submit the follow-
ing query to be answered by someone of
experience, whose judgment can be re-
lied upon! We contemplate enlarging
our plant, situated on town lots where the
front street runs northwest to southeast.
We already have one house parallel with
the street and two houses adjoining this

one at right angles. We propose widen-
ing an 18-foot house, running northeast
and southwest, to twenty-three feet, and
continuing it seventy-five feet beyond its
present length. This can be done with
comparatively little expense in the chang-
ing of our heating apparatus and would
be uniform with all streets and other
buildings.

It has been suggested that we build a
house of like dimensions (upon the same
town lots) running straight north and
south, and install an independent heating
plant. The question is, would the devel-
opment of plants in the house running
north and south be enough better to war-
rant the necessary expense and general
appearance of disorder! May we suggest
that the above be answered, not by
builders of greenhouses or makers of
boilers, but by someone experienced in
plant growing? K. C,

I fail to see any particular advantage
in running the proposed house north and
south. This is not the aspect chosen by
the majority of practical plantsmen, east
and west being almost invariably se-
lected. The location of a house a little

to the east of the south is perhaps the
best possible one, for in such a case the
morning sun strikes it more directly.
Weather reports prove that we have more
sunshine in the morning than in the aft-
ernoon, taking the year through.

I would certainly carry out your own
proposed plan. Such a house would, in
my opinion, be fully as good as the other
one recommended, for general plant cul-
ture. The considerable additional outlay
for the north and south house, and the
fact that the aspect is not at all an ideal
one, combine to condemn it, to say noth-
ing of the element of disorder. C. W.

BUGS IN GLADIOLUS BULBS.

What remedy is there for mealy bugs
in gladiolus bulbs? W. H.

We never have been troubled with
mealy bugs among gladiolus bulbs. We
have, however, been troubled with black
aphis and these we have successfully
fought and driven out by burning sul-
phur. I should judge the same remedy
would be equally effective with the mealy
bugs. Arthur Cowee.

, CARNATION NOTES.— WEST.

Propasfating.

During the next two months we will
have the best weather for propagating
and, in fact, there are several reasons
why this is the best time to do this
most important work. Atmospheric con-
ditions are such that you can readily
control heat, light and moisture, and if
these are kept under control, there should
be no trouble in striking practically a
hundred per cent of the cuttings. From
now on, too, the days begin to lengthen
and the plants take on more vigor, and
there can be no doubt as to a cutting
being better if taken from a plant which
is gaining in vigor than if taken from
one which is losing in vigor.

If you propagate only for your own
use, you can choose your own time for
putting in the cuttings of such varie-
ties as you have plenty of stock of, and
you must be governed somewhat by your
own local conditions and your methods
of culture in order to get the very best
results. In fact, this holds good in all
things. If your local conditions differ
somewhat from your neighbors', you
must modify your course to suit those
conditions. Indeed, you cannot follow
any man's advice or recommendations
to the letter, unless he is on the ground
and thoroughly familiar with the case
in hand.

There is no doubt that for the carna-
tion specialist, who endeavors to grow
his stock to the very highest perfection,
early cuttings taken from the sand dur-
ing February and even January are the
best. But for the grower of a general
line of stock, who will not take time to
repot his young carnations in March
when he is rushed with other work, cut-
tings taken from the sand early in
March will prove most satisfactory. Such
cuttings can be potted into 2%-inch pots
and left until planted in the field in
May. These will, of course, not make
good-sized plants ^or July planting in
the house, but this class of gprowers
usually do not house carnations until
August. The one thing to be borne in
mind is that a young carnation, after
it is once rooted, should be continually
kept on a steady move. Large, soft
growth is to be avoided strictly. Sturdy,
well matured young plants transplant
best and you will always find that the
plant which suffers the least in trans-
planting will make the greatest gains
later.

Selecting the Cuttinsfs.

I have often preached cutting selec-
tion, etc., and I will say again that if
the selection of cuttings were done more
critically many varieties would stay in
commerce longer than they do. No doubt
the rooted cutting men are largely at
fault here, but as long as the trade in-

sists on buying carnation cuttings as
cheap as they are frequently offered,
nothing very choice need be expected.
If choice stock is wanted, a fair price
must be paid for it. You will usually
find the two go together.

When selecting your own cuttings,
there is all the more reason why you
should select them well. There is no
doubt but that the young shoots which
spring from the lower part of the flower
stem are the best. On some varieties
they will be below where you cut the
stem in gathering the blooms, while other
varieties will make one to three good
cuttings above that point. Avoid all
cuttings which have much of a stem
between the lowest leaves and the flower
stem. They never make good, strong
plants. These growths may appear be-
fore or after the bloom is cut and may
be taken off any time they are in proper
condition.

Avoid all diseased plants. If a plant
shows disease, every shoot is likely to
be tainted, even though it may not show
any traces. If your stock is diseased, dis-
card it, and procure healthy stock from
someone whose stock is clean.

Select your cuttings of a uniform
average size, avoiding abnormally large
cuttings as well as the small, weak ones.
A uniform lot of plants will be the
result. If you cannot get as many cut-
tings that are right, in one batch, then
take a second or third batch later. Do

not make the mistake of putting into the
sand a lot of soft shoots, which have
no energy stored up within themselves.
A week or ten days longer on the plants
will make firat-elass cuttings of them.

Take no cuttings from the plants
when the soil is very dry and the plants
look wilted. The same holds good when
the sun is shining strongly during mid-
day. Take your cuttings in the morn-
ing of clear days, or on cloudy days.
"With proper foresight this can be man-
aged very well. Cuttings taken from
plants which have been highly fed will
not root as satisfactorily as those taken
from plants which have been growing on
a moderate diet.

Inserting: the Cuttjns;s.

After the cuttings are taken from the
plants they should be gotten into the
sand as speedily as possible. While they
are being prepared they should be kept
cool and moist at all times. In pre-
paring the cuttings, make a clean cut
at the bottom and remove entirely from
the stem all those short leaves which
would sink below the surface of the
sand. Cut back only the longest lower
blades and leave all the upper blades
intact.

The sand in your propagating , bench
should be about three inches deep after
it is packed firmly. Set the cuttings into
the sand about an inch deep and press
the sand along each row after it is filled.
Set the cuttings about three to every
two inches and set the rows about an
inch and a half to two inches apart.
These distances may be modified accord-
ing to the size of the cuttings, but they
are a good average. Water in well after
you have a number of rows set, and
never allow the sand to become dry
thereafter. Further instructions will
follow in my next. A. F. J. Baus.

A MODEL CARNATION PLANT.

Those who have an interest in carna-
tion growing find it well worth their
while, when visiting Chicago, to make
the trip to a point two miles north of
Wheaton, 111., to see the model carnation
growing establishment of E. T. Wanzer.
Here are six houses, ridge and furrow
plan, each 23x200, erected two years ago
by William Reitmeier, of material sup-
plied by the A. Dietsch Co. The heating
IS hot water supplied by a Kroeschell
holier, the pipes all being on the floor of
the greenhouses.

Mr. Wanzer spent a number of years
on the Chicago Board of Trade and went
into carnation growing because of his in-
terest in the work. He selected an ideal
spot on a farm where the soil is the deep,
"CJi prairie loam and put up a thor-
oughly well built establishment, but with-

out any frills. He then turned the work
of carnation growing over to R. Scheffler
and became that efficient grower's first
assistant. The quality of the stock turned
out from the beginning was an evidence
that the needs of the carnation are thor-
oughly understood and provided for.

The range houses 35,000 plants. Law-
son 'being grown in largest quantity, but
with Enchantress a close second. Lawson
occupies two houses and Enchantress one
and one-half houses. Victory occupies a
whole house and the remaining house and
one -half provides space for Winsor,
Aristocrat, White Lawson and Boston
Market. Each of the varieties is in ex-
cellent shape and there is no sign about
the place of any of the diseases the car-
nation is heir to. But the visitor invaria-
bly is first impressed with the splendid
color in Lawson. It is much brighter
than usually seen and Mr. Scheffler says
it is due to the soil, which is a rather
light, black, friable loam, quite different
from that in use in many places around
Chicago where good carnations are grown.

Winsor is well liked, but fault is found
with the keeping qualities of Aristocrat,
which Mr. Scheffler says has such hard
wood that it does not draw up water with
the freedom of the more fleshy-stemmed
varieties. He thinks Winsor can be
grown with profit by anyone who can
make money on Lawson, but Victory is
his especial favorite. The first season
this was grown it was full of rust and
obtained a poor start, but in the end
gave a fair account of itself. This year
it has done splendidly, there being no
special difference in the plants which
were benched early and those which were
housed late in August. Mt. Scheffler says
it will establish itself and give a cut of
good quality quicker than any other vari-
ety of which he knows. Another point is
that it gives a steady cut, the shoots
being in all stages of growth — but this
is a characteristic of all the varieties in
the Wanzer place. They cut 1,500 Vic-
tory flowers December 22 and realized
over 10 cents each for them. It pays
them better than any other sort on the
place and next year they will plant 10,-
000 of it. Mr. Wanzer says he has vis-
ited practically all the carnation growers
around Chicago this season and has seen
no place where either Craig or Beacon
was good enough to compete with Vic-
tory.

While Enchantress is doing well with
Mr. Wanzer, as with practically every
grower, he is of the opinion that the vari-
ety is overdone and he will grow less of
it next year. Part of the space will be
given to White Enchantress, o'f which he
already has some fine stock from John
Reitmeier, brother of the man who built
the greenhouses.

Visitors are interested in Mr. Schef-
fler's method of propagating. He uses
about half sand and half soil and roots
his cuttings with little moisture. Over
the cutting bed he erects a frame of lath
and wire on which he spreads newspapers
for shade and says the cuttings get much
better attention through the daily re-
moval of the shade than where it is ac-
complished by simply winding up a long
sheet; every spot in the bench comes di-
rectly under the propagator's eye. That
his method is an excellent one is shown
by the fact that no stronger lot of cut-
tings could be found anywhere than those
now about ready for potting and to make
room for which a fine bench of Enchant-
ress has had to be thrown out. This year
Mr. Wanzer is propagating more heavily
than last year, it being his intention to
make a specialty of rooted cuttings as
soon as he can establish a reputation for
his stock.

The store room for blooms is worth a
moment's consideration. It has been fit-
ted up with galvanized iron tanks for
hardening the flowers. The tanks are
deep enough to let the stems in almost up
to the flower and are provided with racks
dividing each tank into small squares for
each handful of blooms. The tanks are
emptied by merely pulling a plug as in a
bathtub and are filled by opening a fau-
cet, so that fresh water can always be
had. Here the flowers stay twelve hours,
before packing for shipment to the A. L.
Randall Co., Chicago, which has sold
every flower the place has turned out, ex-
cept a few which are retailed from the
greenhouses.

Mr. Scheffler makes good use of every
bit of space in the greenhouses. He has
just finished cutting a crop of fine stevia
grown in the walks and he has a box of
sweet peas at each end of each bench.
Chrysanthemums are grown as a catch
crop in the propagating house and in the
field there is a plantation of peonies.
Gladioli will be added this season and it
is expected they will do better than the
100,000 asters picked did last year, al-
though asters still will be grown. Gera-
niums also are propagated for wholesj^l-
ing as well as for retail trade.

CLYDE CARNATION HOUSES.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph of the carnation growing
establishment of the Clyde Floral Co., at
Clyde, Ohio, a few miles east of Belle-
vue. The range was built by Arlin &
Arlin, but the business is now conducted
under the former name. There are four
houses 21x100, erected of material fur-
nished by the Foley Mfg. Co., Chicago.
The up-to-date varieties of carnations are
grown and the season thus far has been
an excellent one.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Directors Appointed*

As announced in last week's Review,
President Traendly on January 1 ap-
pointed John Young and George Asmus
to membership on the executive board of
the society. President Traendly now
has appointed E. Y. Hallock, of Queens,
N. Y., as director to fill the vacancy on
the executive board occasioned by Mr.
Traendly 's election as president.

Executive Board Proceedings.

As reported in last week's Review,
the executive board met at Philadelphia
December 28 to close up the year's busi-
ness. The following official report is
now supplied by the secretary:

Pursuant to call by President Stewart,
the executive committee met in special
session at Horticultural hall, Philadel-
phia, December 28. There were present
Messrs. Stewart, Elliott, Kasting, West-
cott, Beatty, Farquhar, Traendly, Hal-
lock and Rudd. The president appointed
Messrs. Robert Craig and Wm. P. Gude
to act in the place of Messrs. Wirth and
Murray, who were not present. The

president announced that he had appoint-
ed W. N. Rudd as secretary of the so-
ciety, in accordance with the by-laws,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of P. J. Hauswirth, which action was
approved by the committee.

President Stewart prefaced his formal
announcements of the business before the
meeting by a few words setting forth
most feelingly the loss which had been
suffered by the society, and by the
trade at large, through the death of
P. J. Hauswirth, and on motion a com-
mittee, consisting of W. F. Kasting,
Frank H. Traendly and Wm. F. Gude,
was appointed to draw up resolutions,
and which committee later presented the
following report, which was adopted:

Whereas, we, the executive committee of the
S. A. F., in special session assembled in the city
of Philadelphia, December 28, 1907, have learned
of the sad death of our beloved secretary, which
occurred in the city of Chicago, December 4,
1907.

Therefore, be it resolved by the executive com-
mittee of the S. A. F., that in the death of
Mr. Hauswirth the society has lost a good
worker and a loyal friend.

His motto always was the greatest good to
the greatest numt)er, and best Interests of all
concerned. For time and ability freely given to
the best interest of our society, he stood without
a peer. With him the common good was always
first. He was ever ready to sacrifice his own
interests for those of others. If he had a fault,
it was that In his generosity, he sacrificed his
own interests too much. For time freely given
in the best Interests of this society and for the
welfare of horticulture at large, we are indebted
beyond expression.

As an acknowledgment of this debt and as
a token of grief we feel at bis sad death, these
resolutions are to be spread upon the records of
this society and a copy sent to his bereaved
family.

The secretary stated that there was a
net balance of the society's funds in the
hands of the estate of the late secretary
amounting to approximately $1,500 and
that the family were ready to turn this
sum over, but under the advice of their
attorney, had asked that a complete check
of all society matters which had been in
his hands should be made, in order that
there should be no uncertainty. The
secretary had deemed this also an emi-
nently proper course to pursue, so that
any fears on the part of members of
the society, arising through groundless
rumors which always are circulated in
such unfortunate cases, might be set at
rest beyond peradventure.

At the afternoon session Mr. Farquhar
was unable to be present and the presi-
dent appointed Edwin Lonsdale to take
his place. On motion of Mr. Kasting
the flower show committee was author-
ized to use for awards at the national
flower show, to be held in Chicago, No-
vember, 1908, ten silver gilt medals,
twenty-five silver medals, twenty-five
bronze medals and as many certificates
of merit as would be needed for worthy
subjects there shown.

The thanks of the members of the com-
mittee were then formally tendered to
President Stewart for his long service
as secretary and president of the Soci-
ety of American Florists.

W. N. Rudd, Sec'y.

STARTLING REDUCTION.

A special telegram from New York te
the Chicago Inter Ocean says:

"New York florists are facing great
losses from lack of demand for their
goods and are slashing prices right and
left in the hope of disposing of a fair
proportion of their stocks. Purchasers
are reaping the benefit of the reduc-
tions, which in many cases are said to
reach five per cent. This situation is
different from that of previous years,
when the florists reaped a harvest."

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The feature of the market at the be-
ginning of the new year has been the
large crops of American Beauties. Prac-
tically every grower is cutting heavily
and with several the crop is something
enormous. At the same time, most of
the houses report an excellent outlet for
the stock, at prices which should be sat-
isfactory to the growers, in considera-
tion of the heavy supply. The quality is
excellent and big retailers are buying
long Beauties in hundred lots.

All other roses are equal to the pres-
ent demand. The supply is not large,
comparatively speaking, and the weather
•s exceptionally favorable for rose pro-
iluction. The year has started with a
week of unusually warm, bright weather,

far different from that usually experi-
enced at this season, and a change to
seasonable temperature and cloudy skies
will mean a sharp change in market con-
ditions, especially on roses. The quality
of roses leaves nothing to be desired.

Carnations, too, show the effects of
the bright weather in largely increased
production. Many growers have been
cutting lightly thus far this season, but
it is the general report that crops in
sight indicate that production soon will
be averaged up and with a continuance
of the bright weather we may look for
exceptionally heavy supplies of carna-
tions in the next few weeks. Any grade
of carnations wanted can be had, but
the low grade stuff is not so great a
factor as it usually is at this season.
Most of the stock grades as fancy.

There is an oversupply of Paper

Whites and Romans. The short tulips
coming in are not readily salable. The
call for funeral work makes an outlet
for whatever bulbous stock is sold and
occasionally creates a flurry in longi-
florums and callas. The death record
last week set a new high mark for Chi-
cago, there being 665 burials. Mignon-
ette goes slowly. Stevia finds an outlet
for funeral bunches. Some good sweet
peas are quickly taken up, but the short
stuff hangs fire.

The violet growers along the Hudson
report excellent satisfaction with the re-
turns from this market for Christmas
and New Year's, and they are giving us
all the violets we need. The price has
steadily been weakening. This week it
ranges from $1 down.

Cypripediums are abundant and slow
sale.

THE WESTERN HOUSE FOR THE WESTERN TRADE

Mention The Review when yon write.

The market is somewhat overstocked
with green goods, especially smilax and
asparagus strings.

Chinfpag Demand.

Referring to the prediction of an east-
ern visitor that the tendency in this mar-
ket will be steadily in the direction of a
demand for better grades of stock, and
that the market for short roses will grow
steadily poorer and poorer, as it has done
in large eastern markets, A. L. Randall
had this to say: "We have for some
time noted that our customers are or-
dering the best grade of stock more
largely than ever, with less demand for
the low grades. I refer particularly to
the shipping demand. It appears that
the extensive greenhouse building
throughout the west has resulted in a
large production of short roses and me-
dium quality carnations, which many
buyers have either on their home places
or close at hand, but they must come to
Chicago when they want really fancy
stock, the demand for which is stronger
than it ever was."

Reinfoerg's.

The Beauty crop now being cut at
Peter Reinberg's is something phenom-
enal. It is the greatest ever cut in the
establishment, but at the store it is as-
serted that although the ice-box occa-
sionally overflows to the adjoining one
of John Kruchten, the stock is moving
out quite satisfactorily and they hope the
bright weather will continue, for they
fear an end to the Beauty crop when
dark days come again.

One of Peter Reinberg's firemen was

held up while going his rounds early on
the night of January 4 and one of the
storage rooms also was robbed, several
hundred roses being taken.

Mrs. Reinberg and Mrs. Leonard Kill
are sisters. They buried a third sister
December 31, who left a boy 4 years
old and a little girl of 2 years. Mr. and
Mrs. Reinberg propose adopting the
son and Mr. and Mrs. Kill have taken
the little girl.

Business for 1907.

In its annual review of business con-
ditions in Chicago in 1907 the Record-
Herald says the wholesale value of cut
flowers sold in this market was $1,815,-
000, as against $1,452,000 in 1906, an
increase of twenty-five per cent. These
figures are followed by a signed state-
ment by Oscar J. Friedman, retailer, as
follows :

A better proof of the adage, "The luxuries of
yesterday are the necessities of to-day," cannot
be found than in the marvelous growth of the
cut flower business of Chicago. In less than a
decade greenhouses having millions of square
feet of glass have sprung up like magic on the
outslcirts of the city. Two establishments claim
to have more than 1,000,000 square feet of glass
each, and it is conceded that Chicago has the
model establisliment of this kind in the world.

The wholesale cut flower dealers send their
goods as far south as New Orleans, as far north
as Duluth, as far east as Pittsburg and as far
west as Denver. Our city can pride itself on
being the largest shipper of cut flowers in the
world.

It is not clear whether or not the fig-
ures are Mr. Friedman's estimate, but
wholesalers will not generally accept
them as correct. There has been no
twenty-five per cent increase in the
wholesale cut flower sales in 1907. The
Tribune's estimate of sales in 1907 is
$2,200,000, no increase over 1906.

differed from normal by not more than
1 degree. January was much warmer
than usual, and March was phenomenally
warm, exceeding in temperature even the
following April. The contrast between
the warm weather of March and the cool
period during April and May was quite
marked. In fact, the average tempera-
ture of April and May combined was
the lowest for that period in the his-
tory of the station.

The amount of precipitation was 1.70
inches greater than the average. The
total depth of snow, 42 inches, was 5.7
inches more than the average, the great-
est excess of snowfall occurring in May
and December. The heaviest snow was
8.2 inches.

The cloudiness was more marked than
usual, except during February, March
and November. As compared with their
normals, April was the cloudiest and No-
vember the sunniest, the departures be-
ing minus twenty per cent and J)lu8 six-
teen per cent, respectively. The percent-
age of possible sunshine for the entire
year, 52.8, was 5.2 per cent below the
normal.

The last killing frost was May 4, the
first in fall, October 14.

The Glass Market.

The Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. reports
that inquiries from those who will build
greenhouses in the spring are coming in
quite freely and that the indication is
that there will be rather more than the
average amount of building this season.
They say the opportunity was never bet-
ter, so far as the price of glass is con-

cerned, but that it is hard to tell how
long these prices will continue, as the
production of hand-blown glass is not
great, a large part of the window glass
now manufactured being machine blown.
Florists have not yet been educated to
believe that machine glass is as good for
greenhouse use as the article made by
the older method.

Various Notes.

August Poehlmann says that for
Christmas they cut 2,762 Beauties that
came in the dollar grade. The company
now has in storage a million valley pips.
Dividing these up, it means a cut of
nearly 3,000 valley each day the year
around.

At C. A. Samuelson's perfect satisfac-

tion is reported with the December busi-
ness. November and the first part of
December were light, but the finish was
fine and the first week in January also
was good.

At E. H. Hunt's large consignments
of Easter supplies are being received and
the prospect is for an excellent spring
business. W. E. Lyneb says the cut
flower department is as busy as could
be expected.

Joseph Foerster is no longer in charge
of the selling end of George Reinberg's
business and his place has not been
filled. Miss Mamie Reinberg has taken
charge of the books, with the assist-
ance of Fred Klingel, who has been keep-
ing books for John J. Kruchten.

Percy Jones says that he makes no

pretensions to being a weather prophet,
but that he sees signs of a January thaw
in the market.

C. L. Washburn is spending the week
at West Baden, Ind.

E. Fransen, who has charge of the sell-
ing end for Scheiden & Schqos, started
a two weeks' term of jury service Janu-
ary 6. During his absence Miss Jose-
phine Then, who sells her father's crop
at the Flower Growers' market, will sell
Mr. Fransen 's stock.

Wietor Bros, say that the Kate Moul-
ton rose is fully justifying their judg-
ment in planting a whole house of it this
season. They are cutting a good crop of
excellent quality and have no diflSculty
in placing it with regular customers at
from 10 cents down. As many as 700 a

day were cut between Christinas and
New Year's.

New Year's is the birthday anniver-
sary of E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott
Bros. Co., and this year it was celebrated
in an unusual manner at the Pieser resi-
dence, opposite Jackson park. At three
o'clock in the morning they were routed
out by fire in a lower apartment. It was
more than three hours before they could
get back into their rooms, and then Mrs.
Pieser gave a New Year's breakfast for
the firemen.

C. W. McKellar says the orchid mar-
ket is just a little slow, especially for
cypripediums, which are abundant, but
that the call for gardenias is excellent.

The E. F. Winterson Co. says that it
is getting a great many calls for "the
bright red carnation," which means De-
fiance. Mr. Winterson says that for
Christmas they made shipments of this
variety to Denver, to Butte, Mont., and
to Pensacola, Fla., and have had good
reports of it in each case, the Pensacola
customer ordering again January 6.

Miss Gunterberg says she is more than
pleased with her business in 1907. For
Thanksgiving she did double the busi-
ness of the year before and for Christ-
mas three times as much as for the week
of Christmas, 1906.

Anton Then contemplates another trip
south.

The Florists' Club will hold its an-
nual election of officers this evening,
January 9, and a large attendance is ex-
pected.

E. C. Amling says that at the rate
things now are going he hopes to dupli-
cate last season's success with sweet
peas. His growers are providing some

fancy, long-stemmed peas that are all
put on orders as soon as received, only
the short stuff going on the counter.

H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayers-
dorfer, of Philadelphia, were in the city
this week on the way to Streator, 111.,
where they will attend a wedding. In-
cidentally, Mr. Bayersdorfer is calling
on a few customers.

Phil Cbupp, at J. A. Budlong's, says
he is well pleased with the way the ship-
ping demand has continued since Christ-
mas.

Vaughan & Sperry have Will Timme
on the road, picking up consignments
among the growers and gelling the grow-
ers fertilizers.

The visit to Weiland and Risch sel-
dom fails to find all hands grading
Killarney.

Zech & Mann say that shipping trade
has been better than the local demand
since the first of the year.

The funeral of Dr. Nicholas Senn, one
of the world's famous surgeons, Janu-
ary 5, made a large call for flowers.

Visitors: H. M. Burt and S. W. Cog-
gan, of the firm of Burt & Coggan, Bat-
tle Creek, Mich.; Robert Miller, East
Brookfield, Mass.

George J. Ball, well known as a grower
at Berteau and Oakley avenues, was
married New Year's day at Rock Island,
111. His bride was Miss Anna Kruse, a
teacher in the Chicago public schools,
whose home was at Ilock Island. They
are now at home to their friends at 2427
North Robey street.

I AM very well satisfied with the Re-
view and should hate to be without it.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

We had a fairly prosperous week fol-
lowing New Year's and the weather is
still fine. There was considerable activ-
ity among the uptown florists, in social
work, including weddings, receptions,
parties, dinners and a good bit of funeral
work. The downtown retailers, too, re-
port a fairly good week in the sale of
cut flowers and funeral designs. Prices
on cut stock at the wholesale houses de-
creased considerably and the supply has
greatly increased. The demand has kept
up well, but is not strong enough to ab-
sorb the supply. Shipping trade, too,
has continued quite strong.

In roses. Beauties of the long, fancy
grade are abundant. The medium grades,
though plentiful, are mostly deformed
blooms. Of the other varieties the qual-
ity has kept up, and supplies are more
than the demand calls for.

Carnations are of the best quality and
the supply is large, with prices half what
they were at Christmas. Violets, too,
have suffered in price. Plenty of extra
fine Californias are now to be had at
40 cents and 50 cents per hundred. Bulb-
ous stock is plentiful.

In greens, smilax and bronze galax
have a good call. Asparagus and adian-
tum also sell well.

Various Notes.

A. Augspurger, of Peoria, 111., has
been in the city,

Ostertag Bros, had the New Year's
decorations at the Marquette hotel and
Faust's cafe. Both jobs were large and

used up quite a lot of decorative stock
and cut flowers. This firm reports an
extra good New Year's business.

The Ellison Floral Co. made an at-
tractive New Year's decoration at the
new Raquet Club, on Kings Highway.
This is one of the small west end clubs.
Arthur Ellison, who helped out for the
holidays, returned to Chicago Janu-
ary 4.

William C. Young, president of the
Florists' Club, has been laid up with the
grippe since the first of the year.

Park Commissioner Phil Scanlan has
taken a few days' vacation out of the
city, which will give him a much needed
rest. The park department is busy with
the new Yeatman park and French mar-
ket place, which are being seeded and
planted with trees and shrubs; 22,000
bulbs have been planted this fall. Super-
intendent Ostertag is looking after the
duties of the commissioner this week.

The funeral of Alfred Plant, the seeds-
man, took place December 31, at Web-
ster Groves. There was quite an attend-

ance of local seedsmen and florists. The
St. Louis Florists' Club sent a large
wreath.

James W. Dunford is making good
progress in his new retail venture, the
Gallagher Flower Shop, on Page avenue.
He is using up most of his large cut of
carnations from his Clayton greenhouses.

Henry Emmons and Adolph Fehr, at
Belleville, had quite a brisk holiday
trade. Cut stock, blooming plants, holly
and greens sold as well as in any pre-
vious year. The St. Clair Floral Co.,
too, did a rushing Christmas and New
Year's business.

John Mather, of the firm of Jacobs &
Mather, florists in Texas, is in the city
calling on the trade. Mr. Mather will
visit Chicago shortly to buy greenhouse
material for a new range of houses.

C. C. Sanders, chairman of the club's
pottery committee, called a meeting of
the committee January 2, at Kuehn's.
Those who attended were C. C. Sanders,
A. J. Bentzen, J. F. Ammann, Emil
Schray, E. W. Guy, W. C. Young and

S. L. Bray. A full report will be heard
at the club meeting Thursday afternoon,

TheMaifcet

New Year's trade was fair only. The
demand was light, but at that it was
just about heavy enough to use up most
of the flowers which were on the mar-
ket. A few poinsettias were somewhat
of a drug, but almost every other variety
of flower sold out clean. In view of the
fine Christmas business that all of us
had, we cannot very well kick because
New Year's was not all that it might
have been.

At the present writing things are mov-
ing very slowly, with the demand scarce-
ly equal to the supply. In fact, roses
are in oversupply to a certain extent, es-
pecially white ones. Carnations are just
about cleaned out and the demand for
other kinds of stock is indifferent. Vio-

lets are doing well and lilies of all kinds
are in demand, but the supply of them
is not very heavy. The prices of all
varieties of flowers have dropped con-
siderably, but I believe that the bottom
has been reached and it will not be many
days till there will be a strong tendency
to raise them.

We have been having weather which
more resembled spring than mid-winter.
The sun has been doing full duty and it
has been quite warm. At present it is
a little cooler, but the sun is still with
us and its influence is already making
itself felt in the quality of the flowers
being received. If the temperature re-
mains cold, there will be a decided im-
provement in the quaJity of stock very
shortly, and also in the quantity.

Various Notes.

Fred Gear's Vine street store was en-
tered by burglars last week. They ef-
fected an entrance through the back
door and ransacked the whole store. They
could not find any money, so they made
away with a quantity of ribbon and tin-
foil of no great value.

The young man who has been going
the rounds of the retail stores for the
last few weeks working a game on them
was rounded up last Thursday in M.
Shanahan's store in Avondale. In the
police court his case was continued for
a week. His game was to order a funeral
design, ranging in price from $10 to $15,
to be delivered in a couple of days, and
he would promise to come the following
day to settle for it. He would then ask
for from $1 to $1.50 worth of flowers
to take with him, this to be charged with
the design. It worked in nearly every
case and he got away with the bunch

of flowers. I have only found one store-
man who will admit having made up
the design and attempted to deliver it,
and he found the number given to be a
vacant lot. Several of the others found
that there was no funeral at the ad-

dress given and so were not out much. It
has all grown to be a joke among the
storeraen, but so far you cannot get a
Fourth street dealer to admit that he
has been done. The wise ones are smil-
ing to themselves, though.

Huntsman & Co. are producing some

of the finest single violets seen in this
market. On actual measurement they
were found to have a stem of ten inches
and the flower measured quite one inch
and three-fourths across.

Walter Mott was a caller. He was as
jolly as ever and did some very good
business in this city.

Paul and Henry Dailledouze were also
visitors. Richard Witterstaetter had
them in tow and they were taking in the
carnation establishments about this city.
They are on their annual tour of in-

ORANGE, N. J.

At the last meeting of the New Jersey
Floricultural Society, held January 3, at
the society's rooms here, the new officers
were installed with the usual ceremony,
and the committees for the year ap-
pointed. The floral display, with but
two exceptions, consisted of orchids. A
Cypripedium Leeanum Clinkaberryanum,
the finest form of this genus in exist-
ence, and C. insigne Lucana, yellow
form, were staged by Lager & Hurrell,
of Summit; cut blooms of Cattleya
Trianae alba, of several distinct forms,
by Thomas Jones, of Short Hills; epi-
dendrums and Cypripedium Leeanum
Clinkaberryanum, by the new secretary,
Orson D. Miller, of East Orange, now
one of the largest growers for market
in this section; Anthurium Andreeanum

West Orange; violets by Charles Hath-

the matter was given to the executive

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Winter at last I After a week of de-
lightful fall weather, quite as salubrious
and sunny as October, we have zero in
the adjacent mountains and 20 degrees
in New York.

The New Year's celebration was not
much more than ' ' a good Saturday, ' '
as some expressed it. Many of the re-
tailers acknowledge a good clearing up
of Christmas plants and baskets and a
few declare it was the best New Year's
they have known. The wholesale market,
however, did not advance for the day
and prices have steadied down since
Christmas to about the usual widwinter
values.

Beauties have sold at from 50 cents
down. Maids and other roses brought
up to 12 cents. Carnations were worth
from 2 cents to 6 cents; orchids, 50
cents. Violets sell up to 75 cents. Win-

dows of the retailers were quite spring-
like January 4, with narcissi, sweet peas,
hyacinths and tulips. About everything
seasonable is now in the market. Valley
is abundant and low, 3 cents buying the
finest and much of this even cleaning up
at 2 cents. Lilies hold their price well.

Various Notes.

Orchids demonstrate the result of
years of creative influence in their be-
half by the enterprising advocates of
their beauty and rarity. The number
of growers has increased amazingly and
the New York market is well supplied at
all times and with all varieties. This
is surely now the orchid center of the
world. Just the time for Koehrs and
Manda to launch the orchid society they
have been nursing so long and which is
about ready to be bom.

Many New Yorkers are going to the
carnation convention at Washington.

These are the days of smokers and ban-
quets. Madison celebrates on Wednes-

day of this week. A good delegation
from this city will attend; good in num-
bers and capacity for enjoyment. Totty
writes, "It will be something worth
while," and Herrington and Duckham
promise an abundance of Eocky Moun-
tain celery.

A week from Wednesday evening Tar-
rytown gives its annual dinner. No one
who has attended one of them ever
misses another. This society is famous
for its cuisine, as well as for its flori-
cultural accomplishments. This is where
you see the Winsor carnation at home.
New York always dines once a year at
Tarrytown, if it can. Then come the
Orange, Glen Cove, Poughkeepsie and
Red Bank celebrations and the annual
dinner of the New York Florists' Club,
which, with its membership of 250,
should be the best attended and 'most
interesting of them all.

Next Monday night the club's first
meeting should bring out an inaugural
attendance. There will be much of in-
terest in the entertainment and exhibi-
tion. Don't miss it. The new rooms
are at Thirty-fourth street and Third
avenue.

Flatbush had its usual prize bowling
contest last week. The first prize, a $3
whisky flask given by Phil Kessler, was
won by Edgren. Riley made the highest
score, as usual. The others present were
the Dailledouze brothers, Schmutz, Rog-
ers, Wocker and Zeller. Hungry bowlers,
who have waited so many years for the
creation of a New York bowling club,
can always be sure of a pleasant Thurs-
day evening and a generous welcome at
Flatbush. Some day this village will
wake up and create some harmony and
have a club of its own.

John Scott has another florist in the
family. The stork arrived with the new
boy the last day of the year. Evidently
John is preparing for a change of firm
name to John Scott & Sons.

O, V. Zangen is sending out a unique
calendar that is in great demand among
his friends.

On Wednesday afternoon of this week
George T. Powell, president of the Agri-
cultural Experts' Association, will lec-
ture, at the rooms of the American In-
stitute, on "Agriculture as a Business
and a Profession." This is the first
of a course of lectures to be given by

prominent speakers every Wednesday
during January, February and March.

R. J. Irwin has formed a business con-

Joseph Frank, of Third avenue, is re-

The new fruit auction building, at 204
Franklin street, is completed, at a cost
of over $600,000. Through the courtesy
of John P. Cleary I was introduced to
its many luxuries and conveniences, and
shown the possibilities of a plant mar-
ket large enough to accommodate every
grower within a radius of twenty-five
miles of New York. Mr. Cleary, since
his visit to London's Covent Garden, has
had this concentration scheme bee buzzing
in his bonnet and elaborates a plan that
he thinks will unite all horticultural in-
terests in a convenient center, similar
to that of the famous European market.
The building is well worth a visit and
the way Mr. Cleary sells grapes and
oranges will make you sit up and take
notice. The plant market, on Twenty-
seventh street, will soon be too small for
the growers. Here is a chance to breathe

Referring to the Mackintosh failure
reported last week, a commercial agency
report is as follows: "Daniel J. Mack-
intosh, florist, 1144 Broadway, has filed a
petition in bankruptcy, with liabilities
$8,780 and nominal assets $4,406, con-
sisting of stock, $20 ; two wagons, $500 ;
fixtures, $150, and outstanding accounts,
$3,556 from several hundred customers,
which he has been unable to collect. The
largest creditors are Elizabeth Mackin-
tosh, $3,000, and Eichard Gager, $853.
John E. Mackintosh is preferred for
$708, bequest and legacy under the will
"^ Kate Mackintosh. The petitioner has
neen in business since 1896."

Knight & Struck is the name of a
new firm in the Metropolitan building.
The members are Thomas Knight and
George F. Struck, both of whom are
well known to the trade. Mr. Knight
has for some years been with the Julius
Eoehrs Co., Eutherford, N. J., and Mr.
Struck until a few months ago was with
Lager & Hurrell, Summit, N. J,, and also
represented F. E. Pierson Co., Tarry-
town. The partners announce that they
are prepared "to supply all wants from
a horticultural standpoint."

The greenhouse men are all optimistic.
Many contracts for extensive biiilding in
1908 are already signed, sealed and de-
livered. It will be a great year with
the horticultural builders, unless all

signs fail, and this is just as it should
be, with this country only waking up to
its future.

We are glad that Easter is within hail-
ing distance. April 19 will be here be-
fore we are ready for it. The wise
plantsman is already perfecting his
plans.

While taking a farewell drink to the
old year, Q«orge Nicodemus, 40 years
old, a Greek florist living at 205 Flush-

bert Baruth's saloon in 456 Flushing
avenue, December 31. Nicodemus had
invited the others in the place to join
in a farewell glass.

The Rising Eastern Market.

The demand for good stock has been
fairly brisk in the last week, fancy
flowers being scarce, especially in the
rose line. Beauties shortened up con-
siderably and were much sought after,
especially so in the medium grades.
Brides are scarce and clean up at good
prices. Maids are coming in fairly
strong and the short and medium grades
are hard to move. Killarney was in
good demand for New Year's day and
sold up clean at a good average price.
Bichmond and Liberty are good stock
and the supply is much stronger than
it was a week ago.

The carnations seem to be catching
their stride and the long delayed crops
appear to be on. The fancy grades hold
firm in price, while the shorter ones have
dropped and do not move rapidly. Val-
ley cleaned up better than it has for the
last few weeks. The big crop which
was forced for the holidays is about
over.

Green stuff is moving off in good
shape. Hardy ferns are scarce and have
advanced in price.

Violets are selling poorly and a good
many find their way to the street.
Romans and Paper Whites are a glut and
are hard to move at any price. The
fir.st freesia was seen last week, whicli
makes another addition to the list of
spring flowers. Mignonette, which is
fine, has dropped in price but sells fair-
ly well.

The first Assembly, which took place
last week, did not use much in the cut
flower line, Beauties being the only
flowers called for.

which was received with great applause.

There were a considerable number of
exhibits, including several new roses.
The Waban Eose Conservatories, Natick,
Mass., exhibited twenty-five blooms of
Killarney on stems three feet long, that
were greatly admired, flyers & Samt-
man exhibited a vase of their new rose,
Wyndmoor, which already has made a
reputation for itself in this market. The
E. G. Hill Co., Eichmond, Ind., exhibited
a splendid vase of Ehea Reid, the new

Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago, sent an
exhibit of Mrs. Potter Palmer, the deep
pink sport of Chatenay, which was much
admired. A. Farenwald, of Hillside,
exhibited Aurora, a pink rose which re-
sembles Chatenay. He also staged Miss
Kate Moulton and Killarney in good

some, but were dignified in their sim-

walls of the foyer were decked in green,
with white azaleas, and the whole mader
an exceedingly attracti%e picture. In
the ballroom the stage was the center-
piece of the' decorative scheme, and the
orchestra was concealed by palms and
various green foliage which extended
from the ballroom floor to the ceiling.
As in the foyer, poinsettias were used to
great advantage, and huge bunches of
American Beauties added to the color
effect. Azaleas and hyacinths were also
used to a certain extent at either end
of the stage. Large palms decorated
the balconies, but cut flowers were not
used there, as they would have obstructed
the view of those seated in. the boxes,
ihe three large dining-rooms which were
used for supper were tastefully decor-
:ited, and on each table were «^her
American Beauties or white lilacs, while
on a few the calla lilv formed the cen-

terpiece. By the whole effect produced,
this firm has added another triumph to
its already long list of successes.

Eugene Weiss, of Hatboro, has a fine

ness increases each year, and from ad-

reason why the year 1908 should not be

The Market

A firmer tone was noticeable last week
and, although prices have remained about
the same, there has been only a small
surplus to carry over each day, Roses
are in rather short supply and selling
well. Best quality Brides and Maids
make up to $15 per hundred. Beauties
of the top grade fetch about half
Christmas prices. Killarney remains
popular, as does Richmond. Few Lib-
erty are seen as compared with a year
ago. Wellesley and Chatenay have splen-
did stems and are each in demand. There
is a decided scarcity of white carna-
tions, due to heavy calls for funeral
work. All colors are clearing out re-
markably well at from $3 to $6, the
higher price only for strictly fancy flow-
ers. Violets seldom now reach the dollar
mark, the bulk averaging 75 cents. Qual-
ity is exceptionally good and the quan-
tity, owing to the clear, mild conditions
which have prevailed for some time, is
heavy.

Lilies remain about the same, as do
callas. Bulbous stock, such as Paper
Whites, Roman hyacinths and Trumpet
daffodils, is inclined to be druggy. Some
La Reine tulips are arriving, but these
are short-stemmed as yet. Some good
freesia is also offered. Mignonette is
extra good, some selling as high as $8
per hundred. Single white azalea, Mos-
chosma riparium, valley, antirrhinums
and English primroses are other flowers
arriving. Myosotis is also seen in small
lots. There is a good call for adiantum

and asparagus, while other decorative
greenery is still in good request. New
Year's day, which usually brings a good
demand for violets and other flowers,
made no perceptible difference this year.

Horticultural Society.

The annual inaugural meeting took
place at Horticultural hall January 4,
when there was a moderate attendance of
members. General Stephen M. Weld in
his presidential address spoke optimist-
ically of the year's work and considered
the future bright. Walter Hunnewell,
the treasurer, in his annual financial re-
port stated that receipts for the year
were $20,400, expenses $21,500. The
deficit is much smaller than in the pre-
vious year. Legacies during the year
amounted to $8,000. The reports of the
various committees were read and ac-
cepted. That from Wilfrid Wheeler was
an eminently practical one.

The board of directors at a meeting
January 4 favored the offering of spe-
cial premiums at the chrysanthemum
show in November, President Weld urg-
ing all to join hands and make the ex-
hibition a record one.

The lecture season opens January 11,
the speaker being Wilfrid Wheeler on
"The Concord Grape."

Various Notes.

At the next, meeting of the Gardeners'
and Florists'' Club, January 21, being
ladies' nighf, there will be no regular
lecture. The evening will be largely de-
voted to social enjoyment. The attend-
ance promises to be the largest in the
club's history.

carnations and sweet peas at his Ded-

well.

Charles Holbrow was the first to mar-
ket flowers of Moschosma riparium, or
African catnip, as it has been popularly
named. Buyers fight rather shy of it, as
they usually do of all desirable novel-
ties. Storekeepers, with a few notable
exceptions, are content to carry in stock
the same varieties of flowers from year
to year and growers of novelties find

December, 1907, was, with two excep-

ton for thirty-five years. Maximum tem-

to stevia, this should prove a useful flo-
rists' flower.

from an attack of grippe. He fa bring-
ing in his usual heavy supplies of bulb-
ous stock to the market.

William Nicholson is cutting some
splendid mignonette of Dailledouze 's
strain. He reports a fine demand for
Afterglow carnation.

Arthur T. Kidder's single violets are
again of splendid quality and are cleared
out quickly.

• Later reports from various towns and
cities in Massachusetts indicate that
Christmas trade equaled that of 1906 in
nearly every case and occasionally sur-
passed it. W. N. Craig.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

/

The Market.

Trade in cut flowers has been rather
quiet since January 1. Funeral work
has been good, using up large quantities
of flowers. Carnations are now selling
at 60 cents per dozen retail. There is
a good supply. Violets have sold poorly ;
$1.50 per hundred is the retail price.
Koses are selling from $1.50 to $2 per
dozen retail. A few tulips are now com-
ing in. These sell at 60 cents per dozen
retail. Paper Whites bring 50 cents per
dozen retail.

Various Notes.

H. A. Jahn is cutting large quanti-
ties of his new white seedling carnation,
Lloyd. Mr. Jahn has two or three
promising seedlings that will be heard
from later,

Wm. P, Pierce is picking some fine
violets.

S. S. Peckham, of Fairhaven, is listing
some thirty varieties of carnations this
year. He is trying out nearly all the
newer varieties. He will grow about
500 of H. A, Jahn 's new white, Lloyd.

J. H. Cleary, on Pleasant street,
handles goldfish, bird food and fish food
as a side line and in the spring has a
large trade in flowers and vegetable
seeds.

R. E. Noflftz is picking some nice
sweet peas. These sell at $1 per hundred
retail.

Peter Murray, of Fairhaven, is pick-
ing some nice Winsor carnations at his
new place.

It is rumored that Fred C. Coull,
formerly with E. H. Chamberlain, will
start a new flower store in the near
future. W. L.

Greene, N. Y, — Le Roy Ford has just
completed a new greenhouse.

Please stop my advertisements in the
classified columns; the stock is all sold. —
Louis Bauscher, PVeeport, HI.

Enclosed please find $1 for subscrip-
tion to the Review. Please see that I do
not miss any numbers. — John Evans,
Watertown, Conn.

The Review, like wine, is improving
with age. I cannot spare it; am always
glad to welcome it as an old friend. —
Paul Stakk, Liberty, Mo.

GOBHAM, Me. — N. W. Hannaford is
building an addition 21x40 feet. He is
also widening an old house five feet,
making its total dimensions 21x80, and
he intends to add eighty feet more next
summer, besides building a new boiler-
house and potting-shed, 24x28. He had
a good sale of Christmas trees and
wreaths, nearly double the business of
the previous CSiristmas.

A. B. Butler, 1226 Shapline street,
Wheeling, W. Va., is a florist who is put-
ting in a line of garden and flower seeds
for the spring of 1908 and who contem-
plates making the seed business one of
his principal interests.

There still are rumors that there is a
great plenty of Red Wethersfield and yel-
low flat onion seeds in the hands of un-
located parties and that it will show up
in the near future. The sooner the bet-
ter, is the opinion of the set growers.

Although onion set prices are re-
ported easier at some of the shipping
centers, investigation shows that it is the
lack of quality rather than abundance
that is accountable for it. Sets are no
more plentiful now than they were, and
the price for a good article has stiffened
during the last week, with no signs of a
decline.

Eeports from some of the catalogue
bpuses who mailed their books out ear-
lier than usual this year state that busi-
ness begins just as soon as the cata-
logues reach the buyers. It has been
held by the catalogue trade generally
that a too early mailing of the catalogue
is not advisable, as the later issues reach
at a time when the recipient needs seed
and the book received too early is over-
looked.

The Weekly Florists* Review.

Jandabx 9, 1008.

basis and that a much larger fill-in busi-
ness than usual will be a feature of this
line of trade during the spring of 1908.

The market gardeners are on the alert
and are buying seeds early.

Send your 1908 catalogue to the Re-
view and see that the Review is on your
mailing list to receive your printed mat-
ter regularly.

The conditions now prevailing in the
grocery trade cause some of the canners
to wonder if they haven't, after all,
enough seed for the 1908 pack.

The one hundred and seventh annual
catalogue of J. M. Thorburn & Co. is one
of the handsomest they have issued. The
cover is in keeping with the dignity of
their years.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has recently issued a bulletin entitled
"The Culture and Uses of Brome
Grass," which will be of interest to
seedsmen.

The Green Seed & Plant Co., Kearney,
Neb., says that it is, like others in the
locality, disappointed with the crops of
sweet com and vine seeds, but looks for a
good spring business.

The Ford Seed Co., of Ravenna, O.,
says that the Nectar sweet corn and Glory
cabbage are becoming very popular. This
firm introduced these varieties last year
and looks for a large sale on them during
the coming season.

H. WiLLAED Beown, of the firm of H.
G. Hastings & Co., seedsmen, Atlanta, Ga.,
is at St. Augustine, Fla., superintending
the mailing of catalogues. These have
been sent out from the St. Augustine
postoflBce at the rate of 30,000 a day for
the last two weeks.

A. T. BODDINGTON, New York, has
adopted the word "Quality" as a trade-
mark, and if the characteristic is appar-
ent in his seeds with the same frequency
that the word appears in his 1908 cata-
logue he can not fail to build up a large
business among those who want the best.

The Page Seed Co., of Greene, N. Y.,
expects to erect another warehouse the
coming season, as the present building,
40x210 feet, three floors, does not afford
suflScient room. The firm's sales on seed
com alone were over 30,000 bushels last
year. Another Brown bag filling machine
is being installed in the plant.

The success which is attending the
seedsmen's travelers in their trips to the
sections where the summer homes of the
wealthy abound relieves all fear of a
poor season among this desirable class
of trade. The gardeners frequently say
they have had instructions to keep down
expenses, but orders are as large as ever.

Henry A. Deeee, Inc., Philadelphia,
celebrates this year the seventieth anni-
versary of the business. The annual cat-
tklogue devotes twenty- four pages on spe-
cial paper in the front of the book to a
brief history of the house and an ac-
count ot its various departments, fully
illustrated. The Dreer book this year
contains 248 pages and is undoubtedly
the most complete horticultural cata-
logue issued in the United States.

W. W. Rawson & Co., Boston, have
undertaken the creation of a unique fea-
ture in an outdoor display and salesroom
at ^ 5 Green street, Marblehead, Mass.
This they intend to use only for growing
for exhibition, visitors being welcome
every day in the week, including Sunday,

COSMOS LADY LENOX.

Flower novelties of sterling merit
promise to be rather scarce this season.
One of the best, undoubtedly, is the
large-flowered cosmos. Lady Lenox, which
originated with A. H. Wingett, superin-
tendent for Charles Lanier, Lenox, Mass.
The flowers, as seen at the recent New
York show, were wd«ub1e to treble the size

of the ordinary cosmos and of a charm-
ing shell-pink color. A batch of plants
growing at William Duckham's, Madi-
son, N. J., from which these flowers were
cut, fully bore out our good opinion of
it. "We will, no doubt, soon have white
and other shades of color in the giant-
flowering type of cosmos, and, witk
flowers rivaling single dahlias in size

and far exceeding them in beauty, they
should have great commercial possibili-
ties.

Mr. Wingett also raised the fine, new
double yellow dahlia, Charles Lanier,
which gained high awards at Boston,
Newport and other exhibitions and which
will also be introduced the coming
spring. W. N. Craig.

IMPORTANCE OF SELECTION.

Commenting on the seedsmen's exhib-
its at 1907 exhibitions, an English gar-
dening magazine of international circu-
lation says: "On practically every
stand set up by the foremost seed grow-
ers of this country were to be seen exam-
ples of roots and vegetables brought to
the highest state of perfection mainly by
careful and persistent selection. Cultural
skill cannot have played more than a
secondary part in producing the really
wonderful specimens of mangolds, pota-
toes and other subjects there to be seen,
for the bulk of the exhibits were drawn
from crops growing in the open fields.
It must be obvious to any person of in-
telligence that seeds from stocks show-
ing such perfection of quality and uni-
formity of type must be more satis-
factory and profitable to grow than any
stock of inferior quality, no matter what
the price of the latter seeds may be.
The pity is that vendors of seeds from

fbbishy stocks still find buyers of
eir inferior seeds simply because they
e 'cheap.' "

CALIFORNL^ ONION SEED.

In the Beview of December 26 W.
Van Fleet was quoted as saying, in
part, that the need for revitalization of
the onion seed crops of California was
shown to be recognized by the Cali-
fornia growers by their going to Colo-
rado last season to grow crops of onion
bulbs for planting for seed in Califor-
nia. Commenting on the above, it was
stated that "Dr. Van Fleet seems to
have lost sight of the fact that the pur-
pose of the California growers in con-
tracting for the crop at Greeley, Colo.,
was the prime necessity for replenish-
ing their stocks of bulbs, the quantity
available for planting for seeds in the
Santa Clara valley having fallen below
their needs. We doubt if the Cali-
fornian growers will admit any thought
of necessity for 'revitalization' in their
stocks by using Colorado bulbs. ' '

Referring to this item, the following
letter, dated December 30, will be of
interest :

The writer begs to state that Dr. Van
Fleet's opinion we always value most
highly, and it is with regret that we
have not got more men throughout the
country just like him to encourage the
production of seeds up to the highest
possible standard.

We beg to say that he is in error in
regard to the growing of onions in Colo-
rado, or in any other place outside of

A Hitherto Unpublished Protrait of the Late Everett B. Clark.

(See page 14 of the issue of January 2, 1908.)

the state of California, to improve the
quality of the stock seed that is planted
here, not only by ourselves, but by all
of the growers on this coast. The facts
are that the California growers for the
past season, owing to the onion districts
being flooded during the month of
March, necessitated finding districts to
grow their onion bulbs in neighboring
states, it being too late to re-sow here.
It was for this reason, and this alone,
that the onion growers produced a large
quantity of their onion bulbs this season
in Oregon, Utah and Colorado. Had
we not done so. Me would have had no
onion bulbs to plant for seed purposes
this fall, and we beg to state right here
that the seed stock which was given to
the onion growers in the other states
mentioned is the same identical seed
stock that would have been planted here
in California were we in the position
to re-sow our fields after the flood.

The thought of Dr. Van Fleet's that
any of the growers went outside of this
state with revitalization in view is wholly
in error. The writer claims without fear
of contradiction that California produces
seed of the highest quality, equal to
that grown in any other section of the
United States or Canada.

We beg to conclude by saying that we
know that when the above is pointe<l

out to Dr. Van Fleet he will see his
error at once. Charles P. Braslan.

BONHOMIE BURPEE.

The committee of the National Sweet
Pea Society of Great Britain, in its re-
port to the annual meeting, speaks as
follows of the visit of W. Atlee Burpee
last July:

"One of the most pleasing and inter-
esting features of the sweet pea year
was the visit of W. Atlee Burpee, of
Philadelphia, with his wife and family.

TWO NEW VARIETIES FOR 1908.

Vick*s Imperial Satirise

A novelty of extraordinary merit. Seed-
ling from Viek's Daybreak, but distinct in

robust gnawer, upright branches, each
crowned with magnificent double flowers,
three to five inches in diameter. Type se-
curely fixed. Sure to be a winner. Packet,

Developed from Viek's Late Branching.
Flowers of this new variety can be placed

which are free from side buds, the whole
strength of the plant being given to the de-
velopment of large, perfectly double flow-
ers. Long stems. Two colors. White and
Rose. Packet, 25c; two packets or more,
20c each. For prices in quantity see our

Mr. Burpee visited most of the leading
sweet pea growers in the United King-
'lom; he was keenly interested in the
splendid London show, which surprised
him; and he was impressed by the extent
and importance of the society's trials.
At the dinner given to the judges and
officials at the conclusion of the show
Mr. Burpee presided, filling the chair in
the happiest possible manner. By his
yraciousness, bonhomie and generosity,
-\Ir. Burpee won his way into the hearts
01 all sweet pea lovers, and as evidence
ot the pleasure he experienced among us
»e has presented the society with a fine
nrteen guinea challenge cup."

The Market.

The wave of prosperity which struck
this city shortly before Christmas was
still with us December 31. All the
available good flowers were disposed of
at good prices.

Eoses met with good demand. Many
thousands of violets were disposed of by
some of the stores. Plants were in good
demand. All of the good stock not
cleaned up on Christmas was readily
disposed of for New Year's. In fact,
blooming plants have been selling well
all along. The popularity of Boston
ferns is by no means dying out, as the
recent sales will prove.

Since the holidays roses, carnations,
valley, violets, etc, have been moving
nicely. Considerable bulbous stock has
already appeared, namely. Paper "Whites,
Boman hyacinths and daffo(Uls. Many
daffodils were disposed of at New Year 's.
Poinsettias were pretty well cleaned up
during the holidays. There is plenty of
green on the market. Stevia has been
m big demand.

Various Notes.

A peek into the reception room of one
of the season's debutantes in the city
will reveal the fact that it is perfectly
nseless to try to educate the public aa
to what is artistic in the way of bou-
quets. Seventy-five per cent of the peo-
ple want the old-fashioned, stiff, crowd-
ed-up style of bouquet, such as anyone
can make up without much practice.
Well, perhaps it is a good thing for the
florist. It gives him a chance to get
fancy prices for short stock of all kinds.
Wire takes the place of long stems, and
a lavish use of stevia or green covers all.

A streak of hard luck put rather a
damp finish to the year of 1907 in J. F.
Sullivan's store. The night of Decem-
ber 30 some careless person left the fau-
cet open on the third floor of the build-
ing. In the morning the newly decoratojd
ceiling was ruined. Over a foot of water
came through from above, penetrating
every nook and corner, and it will take
some time before books, boxes, clothes,
etc., will have lost the appearance of
having gone through a flood.

W. B. Brown is sporting a flne new
delivery wagon, with rubber tires and
all the rest.

Beard Bros, furnished some chrysan-
themums as late as January 1.

Jerome K. Stock has a valuable nov-
elty in the form of a pure white, double
flowering snapdragon. It is from a seed-
ling of his own. He has been watching
it carefully for about two years and
now has considerable stock. H. S.

MILDEW ON LETTUCE.

i should like to add a little more to
what was said, on page 40 of the Eeview
of December 26, in answer to D. F. K.'s
inquiry for a preventive of mildew on
lettuce. The instructions given were
good, but it is not always possible to
follow such instructions exactly and thus
keep conditions just as they should be.

We find that the best preventive of
mildew on lettuce is sulphur painted on
the heating pipes. Take equal parts of
sulphur and lime, mix with water to
make a thick paste and apply it to some
of the heating pipes, say one or two
lines through the house, or enough to
make a slight sulphur smell. Do this
about once a week for a while and I
think your trouble will disappear, even
though atmospheric conditions may not
be ideal. Nobman Miller.

VEGETABLES AS A SIDE UNE.

Tomatoes make an excellent crop to
follow up mums, and cucumbers can be
used, also, in the same manner. We have
seen houses of roses and carnations that
looked pretty well run down from some
cause, tone out after cutting the Easter
•rop and the benches spaaed up and
cucumber plants already grown in 4-inch
pots planted into the house without los-
ing a day. And in about six to eight
weeks they commenced to produce ex-
cellent crops, which paid well until
July, and much better than flowers
would, which are hardly worth shipping
when the spring glut comes over the
market. What blooms are needed can be
bought for retail work and sold at a
better profit than could be made by leav-
ing a poor crop in for a few straggling
blooms. *^

We have also noticed houses of carna-
tions that did not pay for the labor of
watering them t^fter Easter, when the
house might have been made to pay well
if in vegetables.

Even the grower who uses all his
space and manages his houses as well as
one could, if he should leave a bench in
his coolest house for lettuce and parsley
and keep account of how much money it
brings, would find that there are few
things that have paid as well.

How often we are asked if we have
lettuce, radishes or parsley when taking
an order for plants, flowers and decora-
tions for a party or banquet!

We know of one thrifty grower who
has regular Saturday orders for flowers
to decorate the Sunday dinner-tables of

all the well-to-do people in his city and
in these Saturday orders, parsley, lettuce,
radishes and toward spring cucumbers
and tomatoes are always included, and
at top notch retail prices that would
make the flowers look like the side line
instead of the vegetables.

Every grower dislikes to be told that
he ought to be getting more out of his
place, etc., but ask yourself, "Are the
houses paying as well as they can be
made to? Is every foot of space utilized?
Or can vegetables be grown to advan-

TOMATOES.

Tomatoes have sold at unusually low
and unprofitable prices so far this win-
ter. From now on better prices will be
obtained. Fruiting plants should be
kept not lower than 60 degrees at night
and I have found 62 to 64 degrees bet-
ter. Tomatoes need a dry atmosphere
and should be allowed to dry out well be-
fore watering. Hand pollination of the
flowers for the next few weeks will en-
sure a much better set of fruit. On
bright days, shaking the wires at in-
tervals helps to scatter the pollen.

Care in affording liquid food is now
necessary. A little too much may cause
the flowers to drop. Surface dressings
are preferable to soakings of manure
water in midwinter. If you can keep
plenty of active feeding roots near the
surface, and your roots are not allowed

FLORISTS have a splendid oppor-
tunity of raising Maahroums by
utilizing the waste space under the
benches, and then utilizing the waste
material of expended mushroom
beds in growing: flowers. Now is tlie
time to make your beds. Lambert's

Mushroom Spawn in the market, is sokl by all leadins

more than a narrow border, they will
give much better returns.

Some differences of opinion exist as
to whether single-stemmed plants or
those with two or three shoots are best.
My experience has proven that single
stems produce much too rank foliage at
the expense of fruit. By allowing three
shoots to a plant, smaller leaves, less
succulent growth and greater freedom in
fruit-setting are secured. For spring
and summer crops the single stems work
out all right, but in winter it is other-
wise.

Growers can vastly improve their
strains by selecting fruits of the most
perfect shape from plants which are free
from any objectionable characteristics.
How often do we see fruit selected hap-
hazard for this purpose, and then when
coarse fruits predominate we are told
that the strain has run out. C.

Please find enclosed $2, in payment
for the Review two years in advance.
We find we cannot do without the paper.
Hardly an issue is received that does not
contain something of special interest or
benefit in our business. — J. P. Siebold,

PACIFIC COAST.

Santa Cruz, Cal. — W. E. King says
the outlook is thus : * ' Too much busi-
ness. No reliable help. Am likely to
be found dead in the harness."

McMiNNViLLE, Obe. — S. H. Maris, pro-
prietor of the Pioneer Greenhouse, says
that Christmas trade was better than
ever before. Flowers were all cleaned
up and twice as many plants were sold
as on any former Christmas. The finan-
cial stringency has not been felt here, so
far as his business is concerned.

LOOMIS, CAL,

The Loomis Floral Co. has been mak-
ing improvements in its heating plant.

The California Carnation Co. has been
getting in touch with the trade across
the big waters.

D. F. Eoddan, of the Loomis Carna-
tion Co., was recently married.

H. S. M.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

There has been the usual lull after
the holidays and everything is now get-
ting down to its normal state. The trade
for New Year's was fully as good as
that of one year ago, with an extra de-
. mand for roses and violets. Carnations
did not sell as well as was expected and
valley was a slight drug on the market.
Poinsettias were so well cleared out at
Christmas that there were no really good
ones offered. Fancy roses, owing to the
continued dark weather, were exception-
ally scarce and but little of the best
grade found its way to town.

There has been considerable funeral
work, which has been well divided among
the stores during the last week, and
this helps to clean up much of the short-
stemmed stock.

Chrysanthemums of the outside grown
varieties are nearly at the end of their
season. A few poor whites and yellows
are still being offered to the retailers,
but they are good for little else than to
use in funeral designs.

There has been a scarcity of maiden-
hair ferns for the last few days, but
smilax is overplentiful. The fact that
the large buyers for window decorations
were not so plentiful as usual this sea-
son left a great quantity of it uncut,
where it usually is completely cut down
for that class of trade.

The prospect for cut flowers is good
at present and the prices are a shade
less than they were at this time one year
ago. The tendency on all classes of
stock, however, is downward and I am
inclined to think that January prices
will not average over seventy-five per
cent of that received for the same class
of stock in 1907.

State of Trade.

The final struggle of 1907 ended wjth
most satisfactory results and we can now
sit up and take notice. The pessimisticly
inclined have taken a new lease on life
and agree that the florists got all that
was coming to them. We have seen
nearly all the retailers and find them of
the same mind in pronouncing Tuesday,
December 24, the greatest day in his-
tory. It did not rain on that day, but
Wednesday it fell in torrents, the wind
blowing a regular gale. Had it not been
so, we undoubtedly would be able to re-
port a twenty-five per cent increase over
last year's sales. Buyers were more

There was nothing particularly new in
the plant line, but everything displayed
was well done, especially the poinsettias.
Grown in pans they were the grandest

sold well, but daffodils needed a little
urging. Home-grown violets were de-
cidedly Bcarce and we were obliged to
import them from California, as we also
did the cut poinsettias. They arrived in
excellent condition and both sold out
clean. Oregon holly beats the world and
it proved to be one of the most profit-
able assets of the florists' trade. In
loose bunches it sold for 75 cents a
pound, and in made-up wreaths for $1.50
each. Mistletoe is everybody's prop-
erty. Out in the suburbs it grows on
lamp posts and telegraph poles and it is
not much handled at the retail stores.

New Year's day passed with a brisk
deniand for cut flowers and we hope this
beginning is a good omen for a pros-

12x66 feet; today he has a block uf houses sup-
plying a store at 116 South 2nd St., Harrisburg,
another at 35 North 2nd St., Harrisburg, another

A BULLETIN on the mulberry, by Geo.
W. Oliver, plant propagator in the Bu-
reau of Plant Industry, Washington,
D. C, will be of interest to nursery-
men.

The forty-first annual meeting of the
Kansas State Horticultural Society was
held at Topeka, December 26 to 28. Many
nurserymen were present and several had
places on the program.

A. B. Butler, 1226 Shapline street.
Wheeling, W. Va., is one of the many
florists who are making provision to meet
the demand for nursery stock, especially
for shrubs and fruit trees.

And now comes report from Spokane,
Wash., that Albert I. Mason, an orchard-
ist operating southwest of that city, has
discovered a coreless pear and gathered
300 pounds of fruit from the tree last
season.

The Texas Horticultural Society and
the Texas Nut Growers* Association will
hold their annual meetings at Abilene
January 16. There will be a large exhi-
bition of nuts, principally pecans, and
also an exhibition of vegetables and
fruits. The nurserymen are largely in-
terested in these two societies.

W. Harbison, of Harrison & Cragg,
the English nurseryman, who recently
paid a visit to the United States and
Canada, was evidently impressed by the
comparative prosperity of the nursery
trade in America ami in England, for
he is telling the nurserymen of Eng-
land about us in most optimistic lan-
guage.

The loganberry^ made a hit in Europe,
but an English nurseryman writing in
the Horticultural Advertiser now says
"there is going to be a lot of trouble
over these in the near future. He has
fruited some, seedlings, which have been
absolutely worthless; fruit so bad that
not one in thirty was edible in any way.
The big demand for stock has caused
quantities of seedlings to be raised and
distributed, which will give the plant and
those who sell them a bad name. Buyers
should insist on guaranteed stock."

WINTERING EVERGREENS.

There is not the slightest doubt but
there are many valuable evergreens
killed every winter because of lack of
moisture in the soil in which their roots
are embedded, and this result could
surely have been averted by a little labor
in the early part of the winter.

Winters when but little snow falls
are the winters most fatal to evergreens
not otherwise provided with matter help-
ful for the retention of moisture in the
soil. This winter so far, at least in many
sections of the country, there has been
but little snow, but it may not even now
be too late to make provision for the
protection of evergreens. Forest leaves
are of great value for this purpose, but

if, previous to their application, a light
coat of manury substance is applied, so
much the better. Even an inch or two
in depth of soil will be found beneficial,
with the coat of leaves placed on top.
There is yet a good part of the winter,
with hard freezing weather, to come, and
it will without doubt be labor well used
to do something along the lines indi-
cated. M.

NEBRASKANS PROTEST.

Three prominent nurserymen of Ne-
braska, Peter Youngers of Geneva, W.
A. Harrison of York and Harvey Mar-
shall of Arlington, January 3 obtained
a hearing from the state railway com-
mission on a protest involving the fol-
lowing points:

First — We respectfully request that a twenty
per cent reduction be made in Joint rates where
goods are shipped over two or more lines, the
same as now In effect In the state of Iowa.

Second — We request that the following items
on page 118 of the classification, at No. 56,
osage orange seed, worth about $3.50 per bushel,
now reading first class, should be placed In
third class, along with alfalfa and seeds not
otherwise specified.

Third — On page 96 of the classification, Nos.
49, 50 and 51, places buckeyes and butternuts,
worth about $1 per 100 pounds, and walnuts,
worth about 60 cents per 100 pounds, as second
class, which should read fourth class, the same
as peach stones.

We further request that your honorable body
eliminate the words in Item No. 55 on page 95,
"Invoice value, not exceeding $5 per 100
pounds," and Items Nos. 25 to 45, Inclusive, on
page 96, which are eliminated by the railroads
in their ofilcial classification.

After listening to the explanations ad-
vanced by the nurserymen, the commis-
sion agreed to take up the matter with
the various Nebraska railroads and at-
tempt to secure a satisfactory settlement
by correspondence.

Unless this informal means of secur-
ing a remedy fails no formal complaint
will be made and the railroads will not
be required to show cause why the
changes should not be made.

CARE OF TREES.

Mice in many places cause great de-
struction by girdling trees during heavy
and prolonged snowfalls. It is a mis-
take to pile litter of any sort around
trees which are heeled in; not infre-
quently a heavy coating for protection is
placed around this stock. It affords
suitable nesting material for the pests.
The ground should be firmly tramped
around all heeled-in stock. In addition
to the various phosphorous pastes, which
are effective in ridding grounds of rats
and mice, I have found tartar emetic
good. Take one part of the emetic to
five parts of oatmeal (if the latter is
burned a little, all the better), and add
sufiScient suet to make it into a paste.
Lay it where they are troublesome.

A number of washes are in common
use as protections for trees. A good one
is one part Morrill's tree ink or asphal-
tum and ten parts Portland cement. Make
it of the consistency of paint. The mice
seem disinclined to bark any trees coat-
ed with this mixture.

Moss or lichens growing abundantly
on trees is a sure sign of lack of vi-
tality. Usually such trees are unpruned
and full of decaying limbs. Prune care-
fully and scrape off all loose or decay-
ing bark. A wash of lye will be bene-
ficial and spraying with Bordeaux mix-
ture, standard strength, will kill the
moss. Cultivation of the ground around
mossy trees will greatly assist in restor-
ing them to vigor.

Coal tar is the most useful and last-
ing dressing to coat tree wounds with.
The various grafting waxes and paints
will not last over a year. In pruning

WESTWOOD, OHIO.

The casual observer, walking through
the begonia houses of J. A. Peterson at
this time, would imagine sales had been
poor of late. On the contrary, Gloire de
Lorraine never had a better sale, and
while quite a number are unsold, it is
well. Judging by the number of houses
being prepared for stock, the supply will
be as large for the next season, if not
larger. One house of rooted cuttings is
ready to pot up. There is not a sign
of fungus; it is as healthy a batch as
could be seen.

Mr. Peterson is hybridizing and ha.s
one excellent improvement on Lorraine,
in a much larger flower, deeper in color
and equally free flowering. Some may
be placed on the market during the com-
ing summer. It will be interesting to
know that not only are our carnations
finding favor abroad, but Lorraine as
grown here has rarely been excelled
across the pond. When in Europe last
summer and on the search for really good
novelties. Mr. Peterson called on the
royal head gardener at Frogmore. This
gentleman had heard of his skill, espe-
cially as a grower of specimen Lorraine,
and will be the first purchaser of the new
seedling as soon as it is ready for dis-
tribution.

I noted a batch of the new Dracaena
Victoria, which is a decided improve-
ment on D. Lindeni, being a rich golden
yellow, with a heavy marking in the
midrib. Manda's new dracaena is a
fine thing, but the old favorite D. tcr-
minalis, as grown here, will be hard to
eclipse in color.

Adiantum Farleyense and Nephrolepis
Scottii are extensively grown here. Quite
a stock is on hand, but orders are com-
ing in freely and will make space for
the 100,000 begonias to be placed in
sand, all leaf cuttings. W.

GRAND RAPIDS.

Business holds steady. Shipping con-
tinues good and prices have dropped a
little since the holidays. It is predicted
that 1908 may be tha banner year for
the florists' business. The next great
event will be Easter, with its heavy crops
of lilies. One grower is getting in
18,000, another 12,000, and so on. There
will be no lack of lilies for Easter.

Brilliant Scarlet

.»'-■•. -!.>.,;•'/,-.

DEFIANCE

There are Seven Reasons Why You Should Grow
Defiance, and They Are:

Ist. It is by far the best color eeen in a scarlet
carnation; it is the true velvety scarlet and not red; it
will average three inches in diameter throughout the
season.

2d. It Is unexcelled for productiveness by any
carnation in commerce today.

3d. It is a clean and upright grower, producing
an abundance of high grade flowers without any spec-
ial treatment.

4th. It is in perfect health and not subject to rust
or any other disease which is very prevalent amongst
other carnations today.

5th. It is of perfect form. Blooms are very sym-
metrical; center nicely built up and very full, but not
BO as to appear crowded; stems are very stiff and wiry,
holding the flowers perfectly erect.

6th. It is a scarlet for the entire season, and can be
had in crop in October, continuing through the entire
season. It does not lose its color in bright sunlight— in
fact it improves under a bright sun when other reds fade.

7th. It is the only scarlet today, and by grow-
ing DEFIANCE you will be satisfied it has no faults;
it is full of vigor and will do the work when other
scarlets fail.

Strong, well-rooted cuttings, every one guaranteed, $12*00 per 100;
$100*00 per 1000* Usual discount on large orders. January delivery as yet.

RAMBLING JOTTINGS.

The Hoffmeister Floral Co., at Lick
Run, Cincinnati, O., has a sport from
Enchantress of the color of Lawson at
its best. Growing in a house of En-
chantress, both white and pink, it is
identical in every way except color, and
as this firm is very successful with this
variety, we can look for a really good
thing in the near future. As with other
growers, there was complaint here of
the dull weather preceding the holidays,
which helped shorten the supply of
roses and carnations. It seems the pres-
ence of old Sol is absolutely necessary
to assist the anxious grower in giving
the retailer the goods just when needed.

"When in the Queen City recently I saw
the only Kellar produce an immense
bouquet of Killarneys from seed sown
but a few moments, and as he declares
his intention of retiring from the stage,
he may devote his attention to the magic
production of the queen of flowers, in
which case Burbank will be eclipsed and
the problem of shortage, just when it
should be the reverse, will be solved.

J, B. Heiss, of Dayton, O., was not
to be outdone by the shortage and high
prices of the real article, and so he
adopted the novel idea of combining the
artificial with the natural by inserting
artificial flowers into natural plants.
Orchids especially were treated in this
way and sold quickly. The deception
was explained and accepted by the pur-
chaser.

At H. H. Ritter's store, in Dayton,
Mr. Ritter himself was in charge when
I called, his son, William, having been
dispatched to Tippecanoe with a large
order executed on short notice and re-
ceived from J. H. Small & Sons, of New
York city. One piece was a casket pall,
which was beautifully executed.

W. W. Horlacher, of Dayton, was at
work on a large flat bouquet composed
of bronze leucothoe sprays, with Bride
roses and Roman hyacinths, one of sev-
eral handsome pieces being sent out.

John Boehner, of Dayton, says "one
cannot have the cake and eat it at the
same, time, ' ' meaning by this that he has
sold a tract of land for building lots
and in consequence is restricted for space
to grow flowers outside. He has a large
cemetery business.

H. Haerlin, Jr., head gardener at the
Soldiers' Home, is planning some new-
features in landscape work and asks
for information bearing on the point, es-
pecially with reference to new plants and
shrubs. W.

SARAH BILL

The largest free-flowering white
carnation ever prodnced; 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.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

JANUARV 9, 1908.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

State of Trade.

Trade was good here during the holi-
days; from all reports, it was up to
expectations. As usual, carnations were
the most in demand and they were
scarce, bringing all the way from $1
to $2 per dozen. Eoses went rather
slowly till carnations were cleaned up,
when they moved nicely at $2 to $4 per
dozen. Poinsettias sold well in pans and
also cut, and brought good prices. Pans
of valley sold on sight and there were
not nearly enough to go around. Some
azaleas were in, but were rather poor.

The growers all expected big cuts after
Christmas, but the cloudy weather made
stock scarce for New Year's and every-
thing sold at good prices. It looks as
though there is no room for complaint.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club had no meeting,
as its meeting night fell on Christmas
eve; so the next regular meeting will be
the second Tuesday in January, when it
is expected to give a hop.

G. Drobisch had plenty of funeral
work between Christmas and New Year's
and found it hard to get enough stock.

E. Metzmaier reports plenty of funeral
work and scrambling for stock.

J. M.

TAUNTON, MASS.

Taunton Greenhouses report Christmas
trade as good, but not quite equal to that
of a year ago. There was an excellent
call for such pot plants as azaleas, Lor-
raine begonias, poinsettias and bulbous
stock. Carnations sold at $1 to $1.50 per
dozen. Violets had a good sale. More
high grade flowers were sold than in any
previous season. Trade since Christmas
has remained quite good. W. N. C.

OODEN, Utah. — The greenhouses of
W. L. Porter were damaged January 2
by a fira that originated in the boiler-
room.

Greensboro, N. C. — An involuntary
petition in bankruptcy was filed Decem-
ber 23 against the Duffy Co. The peti-
tioning creditors were J. Van Lindley,
N. J. McDuflBe and others. A. S. Per-
kins was appointed receiver.

Atlantic City, N. J. — L. K. Nagy
has opened two stores under the name of
the Atlantic Floral Exchange, one at
1501 Pacific avenue and the other at 706
Arctic avenue. He will continue grow-
ing stock at Egg Harbor and will do a
wholesale commission business as well as
a retail business in Atlantic City.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

January 9, 1008.

ROCHESTER, N.Y.

Current Comment

Trade since the holidays has been very
quiet; there is practically nothing doing.
Flowers of all kinds are plentiful, with
the exception of roses. Carnations are
dropping in price and do not move.
Paper White narcissi have been a drug
on the market all this season, for some
reason or other, and sell for anything
that can be got for them. Carnations
are bringing from 2% cents to 4 cents;
roses, 8 cents to 12 cents; violets, $1
per hundred; valley, from 2^ cents to 3
cents.

Thomas Cogger is removing from
North street to Main street.

Hart's Handy Handle was a much
sought for article for Christmas. All
the Bochester florists used large quan-
tities and all were enthusiastic as to its
possibilities for plant decoration. They
found no diflSculty in increasing the value
of a plant 100 per cent by its use.

"We are at a loss to understand how
a large out-of-town concern can ship
roses here at a price whereby they can
be sold on the streets here as low as
three for 10 cents, and the legitimate
florists are naturally very sore about it.

S.

Beaumont, Tex. — The business of the
Beaumont Floral Co. has been purchased
by Mrs. B. O. Weissinger and Miss A. M.
Browne.

Le Roy, N. Y. — Fred Walter has
broken ground for a new house, 20x75
feet, his business having outgrown his
present equipment. He says that florists
in this vicinity can report a very pros-
perous season. Christmas trade was ex-
ceptionally good — twenty -five per cent
better than the year before.

Raton, N. M. — Christmas sales this
season were in advance of last year. Cut
flowers were more sought after than
potted plants. Carnations were the lead-
ing flowers, as they always are in this
market. The Raton Greenhouse had a
few dozen fine Ben Wells chrysanthe-
mums in bloom for Christmas. This
firm contemplates rebuilding its green-
houses in the coming summer.

Current Comment.

New Year's trade was like the Christ-
mas trade, more than expected. Stock
is scarce and prices keep up. The only
change this week is in violets, which are
selling cheaper. There is a big demand
for good single violets, which sell
readily.

A number of decorations are booked
for the coming week. The Gudes have
three good-sized ones, which will require
from 250 to 300 Beauties.

At the club meeting January 6 fur-
ther arrangements for the carnation con-
vention were made. President Peter
Bisaet has returned from Porto Bico
and has improved very much in health.

A reckoning took place one night last
week at the Gude Bros.' store, when one
of the drivers was married. After look-
ing over the list, it was found that
eleven of the firm's employees had been
married during the last eighteen months
— a record, Mr. Gude says, to be proud
of, as it shows the whole concern is pro-
gressive.

Otto Bauer, of the Washington Flo-
rists Co., who was laid up with the
grippe, is out again. O. O.

DENVER.

Various Notes.

One of the large decorations of the
season was the Denver Club ball Decem-
ber 27. It was done by A. H. Bush, of
the Daniels & Fisher Stores Co., who has
had it for the last two years.

The Florists' Bowling League, after
an intermission of two weeks, will re-
sume play on Monday evening.

Greeahonse Heating.

PIPING IN NEBRASKA.

We are planning a greenhouse 25x75
feet, running east and west. The north
wall will be five feet high, made of con-
crete. The south wall will be five feet
high, with two feet of glass. The height
to the ridge will be twelve feet. -There
will be a building at each end. We
shall heat with hot water. With a tem-
perature of 20 degrees below zero out-
side, how many 2-inch pipes will be re-
quired to maintain 55 degrees? Will
the same results be obtained by placing
five or six pipes against the north wall
and the balance under the bench, or will
the circulation be better if all are placed
under the benches! What size of boiler
will be required! I can buy a second-
hand horizontal tubular boiler. Can it
be fired as cheaply as the caat-iron
boilers! L. M. B.

The house in question can be heated
by using sixteen 2-inch returns, sup-
plied by two 3 -inch flows, one to each
eight returns. If the requirements of
the plants to be grown will be satisfied
as well by wall pipes as by those under
the bench, you may use your own discre-
tion regarding the location of the pipes.
With most crops, save lettuce, bottom
heat is to be preferred. To heat the
plant you should have a boiler rated for
not less than 1,200 square feet of radia-
tion. A horizontal, return-tube boiler is
one of the most economical types and the
best greenhouse steel and cast-iron boil-
ers are designed to secure as far as
possible the economy of the horizontal,
return tubular boiler. This does not ap-
ply to the locomotive type of boiler.

L. C. C.

PIPING IN MISSOUHL

T wish to heat, with hot water, two
houses, one 20x56, the other 20x66, run-
ning east and west. The side walls are
to be six feet high, the north wall be-
ing boarded up. The south wall is to
have five fe^t six inches of glass. The
house will measure twelve feet to the
ridge, with glass in three gable ends,
the fourth end being protected by the
boiler shed. How many 2-inch flows
and l^^-inch returns will be required to
keep the south house, the 66-foot one,
at 65 to 70 degrees, and the north house,
the 56-foot one, at 50 to 55 degrees, in
zero weather! Or would it be more

ance, saving its cost by the economy

satisfactory to use 2-inch pipe through-
out the whole system, and if so, how
many flows and returns would be needed!
The heating is to be under the benches.
In the future I intend to extend these
houses to 100 feet each; so in giving the
number, of pipes, please figure so that I
may extend the flows and returns with-

out changing the entire system.

What size of boiler will be required to
heat these houses, with the contemplated
extension! C. S. B.

Under the circumstances, I think it
economy to use 2-inch pipe throughout
the system, so that, when the houses are
extended, all that will be necessary will
be to extend the flows and returns. The
66-foot house requires fourteen pipes,
three of which should be flows, with

eleven returns. The 56-foot house re-
quires thirteen pipes, three of which can
be flows, although at present only two
are really necessary. This will give
three flows and ten returns in this
house. An extra pipe should be placed
in the manifolds under the benches on
the exposed sides of the houses, and
the others divided as evenly as possible,
so that each flow will carry three or
four pipes. The boiler for this plant

PITTSBURG.

The Market

New Year's day in this city was much
like any other day, and as far as the
cut flower business was concerned there
was not very much excitement. The
funeral of the director of the Depart-
ment of Public Safety the next day
called for about everything that was
left; so there was not much complaint.
Trade since then, while it has not been
what might be called good, has taken
everything coming in, so that the whole-
salers are not complaining much. How-
ever, the reports from the various deco-
rators are not very encouraging for so-
cial affairs for the next few weeks.

Various Notes.

The holiday rush seems to have had
its effect on some of the boys, as there
are numerous cases of sickness reported.
Among them are John McClements,
bookkeeper, and Gilbert Weaklen, man-
ager for Eandolph & McClements. Joe
Dick, another old employee of the firm,
is considering a trip to California in
the near future, for his health.

B. L. Elliott and wife left Sunday
night for Pasadena, Cal.

Lincoln I. Neff is out, after being
confined to bed for four or five days
with grippe.

Miss E. B. Maxwell, of Wilkinsburg,
had to be taken home Saturday from her
place of business in a carriage, and is
still confined to bed.

E. C. Ludwig, of Allegheny Market,
is another sufferer from grippe.

The Finleyville Floral Co. is arrang-
ing to construct a new iron frame house,
-42x220, for carnations. This is one of
the younger concerns and has been grow-
ing good stock.

Fred Burki, president of the Pitts-
burg Rose & Carnation Co., has let the
contract for a large refrigerator plant,
which is now in course of construction.
Booms will be provided for storing val-
ley pips and peonies; also coolers for
cut flowers. The system is the direct
brine system. The cost, when complete,
will be about $6,000. Hoo-Hoo.

NEWPORT, R, L

Current Comment.

Among those visiting Newport last
week were the Eickards brothers, New
York; John Beaton, representing E. &
J. Farquhar & Co., Boston; J. H. Cheyne,
representing Schlegel & Fottler Co.,
Boston, and W. E. Marshall, New York.
It so happened that the annual dinner of
the Hatchet Club, an organization to
which many gardeners and florists be-
long, took place while the Eickards
brothers were here, and as the fame of
these brothers as entertainers was well
known, they were prevailed on to add to
the enjoyment of the occasion. The
members of the club and the guests
are enthusiastic in praises of the talents
displayed by the New York boys.

The success of the seedsmen in book-
ing orders seems to dispel the idea of
any curtailment of expenses this year,
so far as Newport cottage owners are
concerned.

Both members of the new firm of
Knight & Struck are well known in New-
port and the general impression is, and
the desire al«o, that a successful career
is ahead of them. E. E.

THE RETAIL

FLORIST

tif^>H^^t<^

McKINLEY DAY.

January 29 is McKinley day, or Car-
nation day, as the trade would like to
have it known.

Every retail florist should do his part
to help in the work of establishing the
custom of honoring McKinley 's memory
by wearing a carnation January 29. Ee-
tailers who are following the commend-
able practice of doing some regular news-
paper advertising should see to it that
their copy is changed to call attention
to Carnation day, and where no news-
paper advertising is done, a sign in the
window at least may be used. There
ought to be a picture of McKinley in
the window of every flower store Janu-
ary 29, and the flowers in the windows
should be carnations.

Carnation day this year is specially
worthy of working up because the sup-
ply of the flower is much heavier than
it usually is at this date and carnations
can be sold cheaper. A florist can well
afford to start the practice on the morn-
ing of January 29 by decorating his
friends and the passers-by in the early
hours. An example goes far. Last year
one enterprising man put a carnation in
the button-hole of every street-car em-'
jiloyee when the car left the barns in
the morning, and in another town the
florist fitted out each policeman with a
l)outonniere.

Do your part, but don't raise prices.

ODORS IN FLOWER STORE.

What effect has the odor of steam
from a laundry on cut flowers and
plants? The reason I ask this question
is that the store next to me is vacant
.and the partition between the stores is
only of lath and plaster. If there 19
any odor in the adjoining store it comes
through to my store, and I understand
the landlord has rented the vacant room
to a Chinese laundry. If this is true I
believe I shall have to vacate. C. M.

It seems to me the question is not so
much as to the effect of the odor of a
Chinese laundry on cut flowers and
plants as it is the effect on the proprie-
tor and on the customers. Whatever else
a flower store may be, it should smell
sweetly. If the Chinamen start opera-
tions under the conditions you describe,
you doubtless will see a falling off in
your trade, which will justify you in re-
moval. And this is to say nothing of the
fact that a lover of flowers, such as a
flower store proprietor must necessarily
be, would not care to spend his days in
the atmosphere of a Chinese laundry.

H.O.

THE BROKEN COLUMN.

With the average rural florist the pil-
low is made more often than any other
design. With city florists the spray or
flat bunch is made oftener than any other
arrangement of funeral flowers, but in
small towns the wire frame still is the
beginning of the execution of almost

every order. Next to the pillow, and
when something a little more elaborate,
or expensive, is wanted, the broken col-
umn often is called for.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph of a column made by Claud
Wisely, of Murphysboro, 111. It shows
the simplest form of this design, which
may be elaborated in a large number of
ways, by the addition of loosely arranged,

column, but this column is not broken.
The significance is that life is broken off,
and it should be indicated by a somewhat
irregularly slanting top, filled in with a
slightly deeper shade of flowers than is
used for the solid body of the column.
If white roses are used for the column,
the broken top should be of Uncle John,
or something to convey the same idea of
a break.

GALAX LEAVES.

I will be grateful to you if you will
advise as to the care of galax leaves.

best way to freshen or soak them?

The illustration on page 5 is
from a photograph of a bride's bouquet

Sign of the Bose, Philadelphia. This
shower bunch, of white roses and lilies
of the valley, tied with gauze and satin

grace.

STRONG MEN AND CALVES.

The Chicago Tribune, having the lion's
share of about all there is going in the

advertising line in Chicago, is conduct-
ing an extensive campaign to develop
new advertisers. This is the way it in-
troduces the subject in a full page ad-
vertisement :

"Suckling calves grow into producing
cattle not because they have intelligence
enough to wean themselves and drink
quietly out of a pail that's set before
them, but because somebody is wise
enough — and strong enough — to take
them at the right time, stick their heads
into the pail and hold them there.

"The main reason that most small
advertisers do not grow into merchant
princes is not because there is any lack
of those wise enough to hold their heads
in the pail — but few are strong enough,
and it is not the custom to do so. Fool-
ish human beings cling to the right 'to
do as they please with their own,' as

their most priceless heritage. Foolish
calves have no such rights — therefore the
majority of them wax fat.

"The right of an individual to do as
he pleases with his own money is un-
doubted— the wisdom of it is not so sure.
The records of E, G. Dun & Co. indi-
cate that it is about 90 per cent foolish,
counting only the real failures. All of
the half-successes are included in the
other ten per cent.

* ' Advertising is sometimes made to ap-
pear as a royal road to easy wealth. The
Tribune does not present it as such. The
Tribune knows, however, that advertis-
ing, intelligently conceived and capably
handled, is the greatest constructive
force in modern business, and demands
consideration as such by every merchant
who hopes to succeed beyond the aver-
age. ' '

A BEGINNER IN MUMS.

I have never grown chrysanthemums,
but want to try some for next fall. I
'will have no room till late in April. Will
that be too late to buy good, healthy
plants? Is a cool, shady house better
than outdoors for the plants?

A Beginner.

A Beginner can buy good plants all
through the season up to July, many
growers advertising stock continuously in
the columns of the Review.

Plants do better with us inside than
when grown outside, and I think Be-
ginner will find inside culture necessary
if he looks for perfect foliage. The
cooler the house can be kept the better,
but the plants do not need shade, as
much of it will make them weak and
long-jointed. A little to break the fierce
rays of the sun will do no harm, but do
not start out by thinking that chrysan-
themums must have shade. C. H. T.

STOCK PLANTS.

The season is over and interest in the
mums is transferred to some other crop,
and too frequently at this time do we
see the stock plants stuck under the
bench and shamefully neglected. After
a month or two Mr. Florist will take
them up and set them in a flat, and later
he will wonder why his stock is so weak.
If you want good cuttings, do not let the
old plants be put under the bench at
all, but if you have, as most places have,
a house that runs cold at one end, set
your plants out there and let them get
all the air and light possible.

The chrysanthemum is never really
dormant. Just as soon as the flower bud
is swelling the plant makes suckers at
the base for another year, and these
suckers, unless frozen hard, keep green
and maintain a.' root action and there-
fore must have water. I have for years

argued in favor of taking off these suck-
ers after the plant has flowered, rooting
them and throwing away the old plant
altogether. When the plants, after root-
ing, are kept cool and handled right, they
give lots of splendid cuttings in the
spring and these cuttings have more push
and vigor than cuttings from old plants.
But if the stock is apt to be neglected
in midwinter, as it is in so many com-
mercial establishments, then it is hotter
to hold over the old stock.

A night temperature of 4.') degrees is
plenty for wintering stock and less than
that does no harm in cold weather.

If any of your stock had rust on it
throw it out, after taking what cuttings
you need, so that the spores will not be
carried over for another year. We hear
little of rust now, except from some
grower who neglected this simple pre-
caution. Charles H. Totty.

MUMS IN LETTUCE BENCHES.

I am growing lettuce and cucumbers
under glass, and would like to know if
I could grow mums, instead of the first
crop of lettuce, benched in the lettuce
soil, which is a light, black, sandy loam,
fertilized with horse and cow manure.
I wish to grow one, two and three blooms
to the plant. I have raised benches.
Could I plunge the mums outside in the
spring, as I do not get my cucumbers out
until the first part of August? Or, I
have two benches in each house that I
do not grow cucumbers on, but on a
trellis over them. If I plunged the mums
in these benches in June, would the
spraying of the cucumbers overhead in-
jure the mums? Could I use the same
soil for lettuce afterward, or would the
roots of the mums interfere? My
benches are six inches deep. C. H. T.

I see no reason why C. H. T. should
not grow . a crop of mums before he

plants his lettuce. It is often done and
with good success. The roots of the
chrysanthemums do not interfere to any
extent with the lettuce, but you should
have the soil new to start the mums in.
I am not a believer in running the same
soil in the house for different crops, but
I liave seen the mum soil growing fine
lettuce so many times that 1 do believe
in it to that extent.

I think I would rather keep the plants
outside till August than put them in the
house under the cucumber trellis, be-
cause, while the spraying of the cucum-
bers is more of an advantage than a
detriment to the mums, still a trellis
covered with vines would mean consider-
able shade and this the mum does not
want. Instead of plunging the plants out-
side, were I in the position of C. H. T.,
I would prepare a bed outside, using nice
soil, and then set out the plants in it.
They would be less trouble to take- care
of, growth would not get stunted and, if
carefully lifted with a nice ball, they
would hardly feel the transfer to the
house. The chief trouble with plants
outside in pots is that the violent thun-
der storms we get in July make the
plants waterlogged, and rust and leaf
disease are inevitable. Plants set out in
the open ground keep free of disease un-
less the summer is very wet, and the
roots do not rot as they do in pots.

When he has removed the mums, C. H.
T. should see that the house is well fumi-
gated before the lettuce comes in, as
the green and black flies, which are
hardly ever absent from chrysanthe-
mums, will make lettuce unsalable if not
closely watched. Charles H. Totty.

St. Paul, Minn. — Alfred W. Lemke,
formerly of Colberg & Lemke, has asked
for a discharge in bankruptcy and the
hearing has been set for January 27,
when the creditors will be heard.

FLORICULTUBAL EDUCATION.

I write today, not only for myself, but
for all the young men who intend to give
their life and time to floriculture or hor-
ticulture in its full sense. I have, I
think, a fairly good knowledge of most
plants as far as culture, treatment and
their habits are concerned, but I do not
understand very well the art of budding
or grafting, and do not thoroughly un-
derstand hybridizing, although I have
done a little of it.

But what I wish to ask you, Mr.
Editor, is a question which would inter-
est all young men who are contemplat-
ing entering this most beautiful work, a
question which should interest the profes-
sional man and all who call themselves
florists, nurserymen or plant breeders.
The question is this: Where can we
young men learn our trade as you florists,
. nurserymen and plant breeders have
learned it?

I am, and I know others are, more
than wanting to learn what there is to
learn, from seed sowing to hybridizing,
but I fail to find a single place where
they are willing to take us and bother to
tell or show us anything more than what
we can pick up ourselves. And as for
college, it takes money and there is a
lot of red tape, and only book knowl-
edge when you get out. And I don't
see why in our florist trade, which is the
trade beautiful, any firm would object to
taking in .a couple of us and giving us
the alphabet clear through.

I am sure that if we young fellows
don't learn, the florist will be a thing of
the past in a short time. Kindly, Mr.
Editor, see what you can do for us all,
as in my special case I would find it
most helpful if I could come with some
firm or individual doing budding, graft-
ing, etc., commercially. Don't believe,
however, that I mean it in these lines
only. It is the same in the retail store,
where fancy decorating and such things
iire done. Thos. A. Kempton.

Sow in a compost of leaf -mold and loam,
using more of the former than the latter.
A temperature of 55 degrees at night
is ample for successful germination. I
prefer to prick off into flats and from
these into the benches direct, rather than
trouble with pot culture, which entails
much more labor. Any unused benches
in a house kept at 45 to 50 degrees at
night will grow good asters. They like

a generous compost, such as you would
grow chrysanthemums or carnations in.
Do not plant in soil which has been
impoverished by another crop, or you
will only have failure for your efforts.
When planting in the benches, allow
nine inches each way between the plants.
Stir the surface soil frequently and
do not overwater at first. They need

rapidly. If j-ou want large flowers, rub
off all side buds. If you want them
extra laige, grow only two or three to
a plant and use a stake to each, as you
would to mums. If good ordinary
blooms are required, do no disbudding.
In color the best call is for white; after
that for pink and blue. The best forcing

A CHRISTMAS CROP.

The accompanying illustration affords
a somewhat novel demonstration of how
great was the Christmas crop at the es-
tablishment of Weiland & Olinger, New
Castle, Ind. It is from a photograph
taken December 22 and shows the cut of
that day. After the stock had been hard-
ened up in water, and before packing for
shipping, the entire day's cut was taken
into the open air for photographing for

a souvenir postal card. It shows that
the firm had a remarkably large crop of
tea roses, but not so large a crop of
Beauties. The people gathered back of
the flowers are employees, with the ex-
ception of Mr. Weiland himself, who
stands fifth from the left side of the
picture. Several of the growers have
been on the place ever since it was built,
and one of them began work before the
houses were started.

CARNATION NOTES.- WEST.

Propagatinc:.

After the cuttings have been set in
the sand the real task of propagating
begins. It does not require any great
amount of skill to take off good cut-
tings, nor to prepare them for the sand,
but it does require both skill and good
judgment to handle the propagating
house so that a good strike is secured.
Up to this point in the process it is
not difficult to define clearly what should
be done and how it should be done. But
from this point onward it is more diffi-
cult.

The successful propagator does not
go by rules very much, nor can he
just always give you a definite reason
for every action he may take. Like the
thorough grower, who can feel as soon
as he steps inside the door whether the
temperature is correct, without looking
at the thermometer, the experienced
propagator can tell by the appearance
of his cutting?! whether they are right.
And of course he can tell what steps
must be taken under certain conditions,
in order to avoid trouble before it puts
in its appearance. I can give you a few
rules which you will finil it necessary
to follow, but the small details you
must fill in for yourself and, I might
add, it is the small details which really
count in getting a full strike.

The First Watering.

The first watering should be so
thorough that the sand becomes as full
of water as it will hold, with proper
drainage imderneath. During the first
few days the cuttings are like cut flow-
ers; they can draw only water to keep
them fresh and there should be no lack
of it in the sand, so that the end which
is cut does not dry instead of forming
a callous. After the callous is formed,
suffering does not take place so quickly.
Spraying overhead must also be resorted
to, until the cuttings have begun to
draw water. Later the overhead spray-
ing should be dispensed with as much as
possible.

The whole secret of successful propa-
gating lijgs in keeping your cuttings in
a fresh condition without keeping them
too damp overhead. It is this proper

amount of spraying, etc., that taxes your
skill to the utmost at times. As long
as the days are cloudy and cold and the
atmosphere is fairly damp, you will have
no trouble in getting the cuttings to
stand up and naturallf take root. So
there is your cue. When these condi-
tions do not prevail naturally, then you
must provide them artificially. By shad-
ing and spraying you can usually man-
age it until the sun gets quite strong
toward spring.

Avoid Extremes.

To go to extremes in these matters,
however, is almost as bad as to neglect
them. Especially is this true with the
spraying. If you keep the cuttings
too damp you bring on damping off,
or rust, or leaf spot, etc. A safe rule
when you spray is to calculate that the
cuttings will be dry overhead by even-
ing and only spray when it is necessary.
We have found that very often, when
a batch is inclined to wilt, if we omit
the daily spraying and lay newspapers
over them from about 9 a. m. to 3 p. m.,
also using the curtain to keep the sun
and drafts off, we can hold them up. The
paper helps to keep in enough damp-
ness arising from the sand to keep the
cuttings fresh without any water stand-
ing on the foliage. I am a great be-
liever in the shading or covering method

when it is employed in the proper way.

You will also find that when a high
wind is blowing on a mild day and per-
haps the ventilators must be opened
some, the curtain will be insufficient to
keep the cuttings fresh. Evaporation
is too rapid and even spraying will not
suffice. But by covering the cuttings
with paper to hold in the moisture, and
dropping the curtain to keep the sun
off the papers, your cuttings will come
through unscathed. Take the papers
off as soon as atmospheric conditions will
warrant. Cuttings, like plants, enjoy
plenty of fresh air when the air is
properly laden with moisture. Never
cover the cuttings with paper and allow
the warm sun to beat on it, but provide
a curtain, as well, to keep the sun off
the paper. To allow the sun to beat
on the paper will produce a warm, humid
atmosphere, which is highly favorable
to the cutting bench fungus, leaf spot,
etc.

You will find a great difference in va-
rieties and you must watch each variety
closely. Some will be inclined to wilt
most during the first few days, before
they have commenced to draw properly,
while others will stand up finely for
two weeks and then suddenly begin to
droop. That is when your fine work
is required and one is apt to go to
excess in spraying. A. F. J. Bauk.

THE KING^ CARNATIONS.

Mackenzie & Moncor, the well-known
British horticultural builders, are at pres-
ent erecting three new carnation houses
at Sandringham, England, King Ed-
ward's favorite residence, to be devoted
to carnations grown in benches on the
American plan. Several houses have j)re-
viously been devoted to their culture,
the plants, however, being all pot-grown.
Queen Alexandra is specially fond of
carnations and all the best American
sorts are grown, in addition to quantities
of Malmaisons. King Edward's favorite
flower is the violet and at Sandringham
an effort is made to supply these every
day in the year. W. N. C.

STIGMONOSE ON CARNATIONS.

Will you kindly tell us what is the mat-
ter with plants of carnations like the
sample enclosed and what to do for*
them? How often shall we use fertilizer?
How shall we put it on, and what quan-
tity? M.C.J.

Your plants are badly affected with
the disease called stigmonose, which has
been described a number of times re-
cently and treatment outlined. See the Re-
view of October 3, 1907, page 9, under
the head of "Punctures by l&sects. "

When you should begin feeding your
plants and in what manner will depend
altogether on the condition of the plants
and the soil. If the soil is becoming ex-
hausted you can use bone meal, sheep
manure, cow manure and wood ashes to
good advantage, providing you feed very
lightly. Follow the same course as out-
lined for E. M. in this issue.

SMALL BLOOMS, BROWN LEAVES.

I am sending under separate cover
some carnation blooms; also a few leaves
from T. W. Lawson that are brown at
the tips. Can you tell me what is
wrong with the. carnation blooms and
what is the cause of the leaves being in
that condition? In the same house with
the pink Lawson from which the af-
fected leaves were taken we have White
Lawson and Lady Bountifyl, which seem
to be all right. We use cayenne pepper
once each week for thrips. I thought
that perhaps that had burned the leaves.
Would tobacco fumigating cause the same
trouble? We run Lawson about 53 de-
grees at night and the others about 50
degrees. We ventilate all we can.

I am also sending a sample of the soil
in which they are growing. Would there
be anything in the soil that would cause
either the leaves or blooms to come as
you find the specimens? I have given
them a dressing of hardwood ashes and
lime twice. Do you think they are suf-
fering from a Lack of sufficient plant
food, as they are coming smaller now
than they did earlier in the fall ? E, M.

The specimens you sent were badly
frozen on the way and did not disclose
as much as they would have done had
they been fresh. The leaves appear to
have been burned by the tobacco fumes.
The blooms and buds looked as though
they had been injured by thrips, though
their frozen condition makes this some-
what doubtful.

The soil you sent along is of a very
light texture and would become exhausted
early in the season, necessitating light
feeding regularly by this * time. No
doubt that is why your blooms are com-

Leonard K IL

ing small. I would advise you to begin
a systematic course of light feeding, to
be followed faithfully during the rest of
the season. Use bone meal, sheep ma-
nure, cow manure and hardwood ashes or
lime. Apply the cow manure either as a
liquid or as a mulch, and the others as
a top dressing. Apply them in rotation
and at intervals of ten days between
each application. You will soon see an
improvement in the size of your blooms,
but be careful not to overdo it. If you
notice the blooms getting scift or keep-
ing poorly, then break off feeding at
once. Give all the air you can, and in
fact do all you can to combat the ill
effects of the feeding. A. F. J. B.

PRESIDENT KILL.

The year 1908 promises to be the most
important in the history of the Chicago
Florists' Club. In March the club will
be called upon to entertain the American
Rose Society, and in November it will
have an important part in the work of
the national flower show of the Society
of American Florists, with hundreds of
trade visitors to look out for. For such

a year no better president could have
been selected than Leonard Kill, who was
elected to the office January 9. Mr. Kill
is one of the younger generation of flo-
rists and endowed with the young man's
capacity for dispatching much work. He
has been for some years the manager of
the selling end of the business of Peter
Reinberg and has been actively asso-
ciated with many trade enterprises. He
is a member of the executive committee
of the Horticultural Society of Chicago
and also a member of the S. A. F. and
the Carnation Society.

Mr. KiU enjoys a somewhat unique
distinction, and one that he never fails
to mention whenever the subject of age
is brought up. He was born in a barn,
and he is proud of it. His nativity oc-
curred just after the Chicago fire, when
his father and mother lost everything
they possessed and even were separated,
each thinking the other dead, for more
than two weeks. Later they and another
family erected a rough board building,
afterward used as a barn, amid the ruins
at the corner of Kinzie and Market
streets, and made it their home for some
months. Here Mr. Kill was born May 5,
1872. He married into floriculture, Mrs.
Kill being a sister of Mrs. Eeinberg and
of Mrs. Adam Zender, and related to
the Weiland, Wietor and other families,
well known and long engaged in the
trade.

RICHMOND A THIRD YEAR.

Kindly state as to whether or not you
would advise carrying Kichmond roses
over the third year. I allowed them to
dry off and in June moved them from a
raised bench to a solid bed with tile
drainage and they are looking fine.
Would you advise carrying Chatenay
over the second year? J. H.

Bichmond roses are admirably suited
for carrying over, and can be carried
over successfully the third year. Last
fall I saw a house of Bichmond that was
planted when the rose was first dissem-
inated and they were really the best Bich-
mond I have seen. They were on solid
benches. Bibes.

IMPOVERISHED PLANTS.

I send a rose plant taken from a solid
bed where the plants have been grown
ten years. They have been cut down
and rested each summer, the top soil re-
moved and new soil applied. The old
plants give fine blooms each winter, but
there are sections in one bench where
they will not grow. We set 4-inch strong
plants there each year, which make a
fair start, then deteriorate. Why is this
thusf J. J. L.

This failure of certain parts of the
bench to grow healthy stock indicates
that there is something wrong, or at any
rate a difference in the condition of that
part from the rest of the house. This
difference is evidently in the drainage,
or perhaps it may be in its proximity
to the radiators.

The plants have certainly been suffer-
ing from want of water at the very base
of the roots. This has caused a stunted
growth, which is hard to get rid of. This
stunted growth has also been the cause
of eel worm getting a lodgment. This
parasite is present and may be blamed
as the cause, whereas it is only one of
the results of impoverishment.

Stir up the soil between the lines and
give it a thorough soaking at least once
a week till bright weather comes. Keep
stirring, give plenty of water and ven-
tilation. Do not feed. Bibes.

LATE PLANTED STOCK.

I am sending you two rose plants,
which are samples of some of our stock.
The varieties are Bride and Maid. We
planted them in August in rotted sod
and one-fourth cow manure. They started
to grow and seemed to be in perfect
health, blooming the first time with

large, fine flowers. After the first crop
the plants were attacked by mildew. The
leaves began to fall off. Sulphur fumes
did not seem to do any good.

Some of the plants are coming out,
but the leaves are light green, on some
the small leaves withering after they
came out. A great many of the plants
are dead and are turning black on the
ends of the branches. What is wrong
and what can we do to benefit them?
We are thinking of putting in a new
stock of plants. J. Y. L.

From a thorough examination of these
samples I am unable to find any trace
of disease. August planting is rarely a
success. The long, clear d&ys of June
and July are the days when ^oung plants
get established and make their best
growth. Usually when planting has been
deferred until August, the young stock
has suffered during the previous months
from being confined to pots during hot
weather and the plants are shy to begin"

growing. The samples show a weak
growth and poor root action.

By stirring the surface and treating
them carefully they can be brought into
good health, but by the time this is
effected the season will be nearly over;
that is, if the rest of the plants are as
weak as samples. Better get some good
grower to look them over. Bibes.

NITRATE OF SODA.

We have a bench of roses that were
given too much nitrate of soda, which
turned the leaves yellow "ami^ a great
many fell off. Will you please let us
know what to do to straighten them out
again? E. W. & Co.

I have frequently pointed to the dan-
ger of, the inexperienced using chemical
fertilizers and have advised the use of
the product of the cow barn as being al-
most a perfect manure, and safe. Let
me again warn the inexperienced of the
danger tney run in using chemicals.

More rose plants are injured by over-
feeding than the reverse, and where
liquid feeding is used the food is in an
assimilable state and the plants are lia-
ble to gorge themselves. Nitrate, being
quick in its action, should be applied
sparingly and should be well diluted for
a first application.

As the plants get accustomed to this
class of food the dose can be strength-
ened, always keeping a close watch on
the result.

These plants, having got such a sick-
ening, are not likely, even with the best
kind of care, to recover sufficiently to
produce paying crops till late in spring.
Beduce the temperature to 52 degrees.

Reduce the water supply, but keep the
syringe going. As the plants begin to
show a new crop of leaves, raise the tem-
perature gradually and resume watering.
Do not attempt any kind of feeding un-
til the plants have entirely recovered.

BiBES.

RASMUSSEN^ NEW HOUSE.

The accompanying illustrations show
the new rose house of Anders Basmussen,
New Albany, Ind., and will be of special
interest as an example of a home-made
structure, the house having been built
entirely by the men regularly employed
on the place.

The house is 50x250 feet and the
framework is entirely of iron with the
exception of the sashbars and eaveplates,
which were purchased, cut to length, of
the John C. Moninger Co., Chicago. The
interior illustration shows clearly the ar-
rangement of the pipe supports, of which
there are six lines in the house. The two
lines in the center are 1%-inch pipes, the
line next outside on each side ly^-inch
pipe, and the outside lines 1-inch pipe.
The purlins also are 1-inch pipe and the
tie rod at the top of the two center lines
is %-inch round iron. All the pipes are
set in concrete and are galvanized one
foot above the ground. The pipes are
eight feet three inches apart.

The posts for the side walls are 2x4
red cedar set in concrete and the eave-
plates are light, measuring only 1^x3
inches. The ventilation is on both sides
of the ridge, the ventilators alternating,
and of course Mr. Basmussen used his
patent self-balancing ventilator sash,
which he thinks has many merits and no
faults. There also is ventilation on both
sides of the house, the self -balancing sash
being used here, set alternating, one run
of glass solid, the next run hinged, etc.
The glass is 16x24 and is laid the 24-inch
■^vay, so that the house is not only ex-
tremely light, but is thproughly venti-
lated and comparatively cool • in the
summer.

The house is heated by a main passing
across the center and feeding five lines
of flow pipes overhead on brackets at-
tached to the roof supports, the returns
lieing underneath the benches. The house
is used for roses and the benches are
made of pecky cypress, which has now
<'ome into general use for this purpose,
because of its lasting qualities.

Garbettsville, O. — C. E. Tinker says
that 1907 was the banner year for flo-
rists in this locality, but he looks for
1908 to be still better.

IPOMOEAS AND PRIMULAS.

Will you kindly inform me when is the
right time to sow ipomoeas for spring
sales; also Chinese primroses for Christ-
mas blooming? C.

Ipomoea grandiflora alba, better known
as the moonflower, requires to be sown
somewhat earlier than the other ipomoeas,
which are commonly termed morning-
glories. The moonflowers may be sown
during February, if strong plants are
wanted for late spring sales. The
Ipomoea imperialis and I. purpurea
germinate very quickly, and if you sow
them early in April you will be suffi-
ciently early.

Chinese primroses for Christmas sales
can be sown in February or the early
part of March. Plants from such sow-
ings will make nice specimens in 5-inch
and 6-inch pots. C. W.

SEASONABLE ADVICE.

Learning from Experience.

Probably every grower has now
straightened up after his Christmas rush,
and will now make it his first business
to go over all his stock in a most thor-
ough way, doing things which have
needed doing for several days, but which
have been necessarily neglected for the
last week or so, owing to the extra work
that naturally arises at this holiday sea-
son. This done, I think that before lay-
ing your plans for next season it is the
best way to compare this one, up to date,
with the corresponding time last season,
and so note where you have gained or
lost ground, and why. You would note,
also, what the demands of your custom-
ers are, with their tendencies, which are
constantly changing and which the alert
grower is ever on the watch for, in order
to be able to meet their wishes, and at
times to mold these wishes for their im-
provement and your own good.

How were those potted violets! Were

they up to the standard that you aimed
for early in the fallf Did you pick the
flowers from them longer than you
should, so that there was not the quantity
of bloom on them that you wished?
Again, have you kept a record of the
time you potted them, and all the items
of treatment, ap that you may not make
one or two errors next year that you
made thisf No, it seems to you now that
you can remember all those things, but
the most of us find, when the year rolls
around, that we are not quite sure about
these things, and that the only safe way
is to put them down in black and white
and have them ready for handy and in-
disputable reference.

Plants for Propagating.

And now, how about those better
plants that you wish to use to propagate *
from? It is to be presumed that you
have them all marked by this time. Surely
you want to hustle if you have not; oth-
erwise you will find yourself, a little
later, propagating from plants that were
not satisfactory in the height of the sea-
son, when you most want bloom, and as a
result you have more stock to discard
next season, and less to propagate from.
Some of you may have heard me say
something like this before, but then, we
sometimes forget if our attention is not
called to the matter.

Watering.

Watering your plants is one of the
things that need the best of judgment
and care, but is one of the tasks that
will become easier soon, with the length-
ening days. However, it is hard to tell,
at times, what the weather is going to
be and just how much water to give the
plants, and it is a good plan to so ar-
range your picking and watering that
you water when you have just picked, so
as not to throw mud and dirt on the flow-
ers, which ruins them.

Violets are a water-loving plant and
yet they do not like to be at all soggy or
heavy, with stale water that does not
drain away freely. No hard and fast
rules can ever be given for watering, as
so much depends on weather, soil, tem-
perature, wind, etc., so that one has
to learn this, like some other things,
mostly by experience in his own houses
and grounds. But this always holds true,
that, given proper drainage, violets like
a thorough wetting when you are making
a business of watering. Also, when you
have the right force on the hose, and a
bright, airy day, they seem to enjoy a
I good bath right on the crown and it

SPIRAEAS FOR EASTER.

Is it too late to plant spireeas for Eas-
ter? Also, is it absolutely necessary to
expose to frost before potting and forc-
ing? Kindly state the method.

H. C. O.

As Easter comes late this year, the

date being April 19, there is no need to
pot up the spiraais yet. Freezing is not
necessary. Recourse is frequently had to
it where early forcing is done, but a nat-
ural rest for the clumps is all that is
needed to ensure their starting well. If
you start your clumps about the end of
January they will be in season, if grown
in a night temperature of 55 to 60 de-
grees. The ordinary S. Japonica will
come in ten days to a fortnight earlier
than such sorts as Gladstone, astilboides
and grandiflora. C, W,

Adiantum Farleyense.

Erroneous ideas about the culture and
propagation of Adiantum Farleyense
have caused many a grower to fight
shy of it. This ia to be regretted, as
there is no more beautiful fern for many
decorative purposes, while in design work
it is unexcelled.

Those who are intending to increase
their stock should start right away by
dividing the crowns of the older plants
and planting them in a propagating case
where they can obtain a brisk bottom
heat. Plant the divided crowns in clean,
sharp sand three or four inches deep,
which has good drainage below it. The
gllass must be well shaded, and the
case kept moderately close and moist.
It is really surprising how soon, under
such conditions, the little crowns will
emit new roots and can be lifted with
a ball of sand adhering to them. Use
very little loam at the first potting into
2-inch pots, but good leaf -mold and sand.
At the next shift, equal parts loam
and leaf-mold may be used, while for
later pottings some well dried cow manure
and fibrous loam, with some powdered
charcoal and sharp sand, make suitable
compost.

Grow the plants in a close and moist
house, keeping them well shaded until
they have attained a size carrying salable
fronds, when more light will harden the
fronds. Copper or galvanized wires will
be needed to support the individual
fronds. These can be comparatively thin
and should be about a foot long, with an
eye partly open at the upper end to
rest the stalks of the fronds on. When
in active growth liquid manure water
is beneficial. Always keep water from
the fronds, but keep the surface of the
benches moist. Use great care in fumi-
gating, as this fern is very susceptible
to injury. Farleyense will stand well
in a comparatively cool house if the
fronds have been inured to moderately
strong light and have not been coddled
too much. A temperature of 60 to 65 de-
grees at night grows this fern well.

Adiantum Cuneatum.

Seedlings raised from spores are the
easiest method of propagation for the
ever popular maidenhair, Adiantum cune-
atum. Casual seedlings can be picked
up, also, as they frequently germinate
under benches in the summer months or
in any spot where cool and moist con-
ditions prevail.. Propagation by division
of the root is often practiced and works

fairly well, but seedlings grown along
develop into finer plants. In dividing
the plants, which, if pot grown, will
be a network of roots, the best plan is
to chop them into pieces with a heavy
knife. Start in small pots of leaf -mold
and sand, keeping close and moist until
nicely rooted.

Large specimens in pots, which may be
in sour and wormy soil, • should have
the compost washed clean away with the
hose and be given a fresh start in new
soil. Fibrous loam, leaf -mold, sand and
a little dry cow manure are a good
medium. Plants seem to be benefited by
a rest before being overhauled. Com-
parative dryness at the root and slightly
cooler quarters for a few weeks will be
followed by vigorous growth when the
plants start up again in heat.

Snails are very troublesome among all
adiantums and soon destroy a great many
fronds if not looked after. Traps of
potatoes or turnips, scooped out and fre-
quently examined, will catch both
these and wood-lice. Lettuce and cab-
bage leaves are also good bait, while
fresh. Removal of the pots and pour-
ing boiling water over the bench will
kill many, as will dusting air-slaked
lime over it. When sphagnum moss is
spread over the surface of the benches
for moisture, as is sometimes done in
the case of A. Farleyense, there is sure
to be added trouble. Better to use com-

mon wood moss, which is usually free
from these destructive pests.

Palms.

At this season of the year root action
is not very active, but it is a time when
commercial florists can better spare a
few hours to overhaul palms and other
foliage plants than will be the case a
month hence. Probably you have found
time to clean most of your plants since
the Christmas rush ended. If not, take
advantage of any spare time to do it.

Palms do not require large shifts. In
doing any repotting, therefore, use care
not to transfer into pots more than two
inches larger than the plants have been
growing in. Make the drainage good.
Cover this with moss; put some of the
rougher compost in first and be sure
that you pack the soil firmly with a
potting stick around the sides of the
plant and leave ample surface space
for water. In the case of such palms as
Cocos Weddelliana, which develop roots
slowly, very small shifts are necessary,
and the use of even dry cow manure is
not to be recommended. On the other
hand, in the case of kentias, arecas,
phoenix, latanias and livistonas, we gen-
erally add some bone meal or old cow
manure to the fibrous loam and sand.
Except for young seedlings, leaf-mold
is of no value. Where plants are be-
ing shifted into large pots or tubs, where
they must remain some years, somewhat
coarser bone can be used. Some soot
is also a useful ingredient in the soil,
as well as being of much benefit when
the plants are well established, if used
in liquid form occasionally. Palms re-
quire but little shade yet. They need,
however, a good syringing at least once
a day and plenty of moisture in the at-
mosphere.

Miscellaneous Bulbous Plants.

Hitherto tulips have come rather short-
stemmed, but after the middle of Janu-
ary it is possible to get more length
to La Reine and other popular forcing
varieties. It is still necessary to draw
these up well in the dark before placing
them on the benches. This will be un-
necessary after February 1. Trumpet
narcissi are now coming of good quality,
particularly that excellent variety Golden
Spur, which quite discounts such sorts
as N. princeps and Trumpet Major after
it comes in season. Batches of these
narcissi and the tulips, housed once a
week, will keep up a good succession.

^f'* -j^^

Hyacinths in pots and flats should be well
sprouted now and, if kept dark and warm
for a time, will have stems of good
length. Boman hyacinths and Paper
Whites come on very fast, even in a
comparatively cold house, and no forcing
will be re(juired for them now.

Keep ixias, sparaxis and tritomas on
a shelf or bench in a cool house; 45
to 48 degrees at night will suit them.
Be careful not to overwater them. Freesias
as they pass out of flower should, if
possible, be afforded a light position, if
the bulbs are to be retained for stock;
otherwise throw them away at once. Look
over the hippeastrums (amaryllis). Some
will be pushing flower spikes. See that
the drainage is efficient. Either repot
or give them a top-dressing of loam and
cow manure. Place in a warm house
and do not water very freely until the
spikes are well advanced.

Seed Purchases.

Seed catalogues are now arriving with
every mail and will soon make a formid-
able pile. Flower seed novelties seem
to be less numerous than usual, and no
very startling additions are promised. It
is well to buy sparingly of new things,
unless we really know the worth of what
we are purchasing, but nevertheless every
up-to-date grower should try at least a
packet of the more promising novelties.
The cost will not be great, and as prob-
ably one variety at least will be worthy
of more extended culture another sea-
son, the money will not have been wasted.

It is well to place seed orders early.
It is better for you and a great benefit
to the seedsman, who appreciates such
action on your part, giving him, as it
does, a better chance to fill your order
carefully, and relieving in at least a small
measure the inevitable congestion of
trade which comes his way a little later
in the season. Purchase what seeds you
think you will need the coming season.
It is poor policy to wait until you are
ready to sow particular subjects and
then send your seedsman a special de-
livery letter to forward it per return
mail.

Brief Reminders.

Bambler roses for Easter should be
started at once. If you wait longer,
harder forcing will be necessary and
the chances are that your plants may
be a little late.

Hybrid perpetual roses in pots and
boxes may now be pruned, top-dressed
and started in a temperature of 45
degrees at night. Prune the shoots back
quite hard if you want strong shoots
and fine flowers.

Spiraea Japonica and its varieties will
now force quite readily. Start these in
a brisk heat.

If you are a little short of any mums
and want to work up a good stock for
l)enching, get some cuttings in at once.

Single violets are now making an
iibundance of runners. Select the best
:ind*root in clean, sharp sand. Doubles
may be similarly treated.

Do not allow the little geraniums to
;,'et potbound. Shift into a size larger
pots. Spread the plants out as they
irrow, and put in cuttings as fast as
'obtainable.

Propagate verbenas from cuttings
uhere you have carried over stock plants.

Propagate coleus in a brisk heat. Get
rid of the old plants for the sake of
■leanliness.

Start dahlias where some are wanted
'or indoor blooming. It is much too

Avhere they are wanted for bedding
plants.

Sow a good batch of Asparagus
Sprengeri. This always useful plant
is not overdone yet, and you will find
sale for all you can grow.

ASCHMANN PLANS EXPANSION.

Godfrey Aschmann has outgrown his
location, in Philadelphia, and is laying
plans for building a plant outside the
city, where he will have room, air and
soil. The heart of a city is no place for a
plant factory, or even for storing im-
ported stock while awaiting shipment, for
while Mr. Aschmann has been building
greenhouses, his neighbors have been
building residences, until now every foot
of land not covered by glass is ©ccupied
by a typical Philadelphia urban domicile.
It is a case of go outside or stop growing,
but by going outside the city escape will
be had from conditions which have not
operated to make success easy. Indeed,
it has been only by moving stock rapidly
that the business has been kept on the up
grade and few men would care to say
they could do as well if similarly placed.

Godfrey Aschmann was born Decem-
ber 3, 1848, in Langnau, in the canton
of Zurich, Switzerland. He is the only
son of John Aschmann, a prosperous
planter and vine grower. After attend-
ing the public schools until he was nearly
15 years of age, he was apprenticed May
1, 1863, to Heinrich Temperli, the man-
ager of a large horticultural establish-
ment at Uster, in the canton of Zurich.
His apprenticeship extended over a pe-
riod of three years, under the strict reg-
ulations peculiar to that time and place.
By the terms of the contract, he was not
only compelled to work diligently, but
also to pay for his tuition the sum of
200 francs, or about $38, which un-
doubtedly looked like rather a formid-
I able amount in those days. The thor-

ough training that he received, however,
in botany and in the needs of all sorts
of trees and plants, probably repaid Mm
well for his outlay of money and labor.
At the expiration of his apprenticeship,
in 1866, he continued his practical edu-
cation by entering the service of a land-
scape architect and gardener in Zurich.

In April, 1869, Mr. Aschmann came to
America, bearing a letter of introduction
to Henry A. Dreer, and was immediately
put to work in Mr. Dreer 's nurseries at
Riverton, N. J., which were then a new
branch of Mr. Dreer 's business. After
being employed here for a month on
trial, Mr. Aschmann was engaged by the
firm for a year.

At the end of his year's engagement
at Riverton, Mr. Aschmann began busi-
ness on his own account, in Philadel-
phia. He had no greenhouses then, but
did landscape gardening, undertaking
some large contracts. In February, 1887,
he started in the greenhouse business, be-
ginning with one house, 15x35 feet, on
Thayer street. This house he tore down
one year later, to make room for a
larger one. From that time he steadily
increased the size of his establishment,
buying additional ground nearly every
year and erecting houses on it, until he
had thus acquired and occupied all the
available land in the block, on both sides
of Thayer street. This range of houses
on Thayer street is located at the rear
of his office on Ontario street. As no
more city lots can be purchased in that
neighborhood, he is now planning to buy
a few acres of land a short distance
from town, where he can build more
greenhouses, especially for azaleas and
roses and the housing of imported plants
As indicating the substantial qualities, it
may be mentioned that all of the prop-
erty occupied is owned bv him and is
free of incumbrance.

Mr. Aschmann has three sons, John
Edward and Howard, all of whom have
reached the age of manhood and are en-
gaged in the business with their father

If your opinions do not agree with
those expressed by any contributor to the
Review, we shall be ple^ised to present
your views of the facts.

The first to arrive of the plant cata-
logues of the mail-order specialists is
that of the Geo. H. Mellen Co., Spring-
field, O., mailed January 11.

The full, bright sunlight should not
be allowed to fall directly on bay trees
that are stored in a place where there is
a possibility of the soil or foliage freez-
ing.

The winter has been so unusually mild
thus far that it may have caused some
damping of roots stored indoors. Look
them over and if there is much decayed
matter, remove it.

The schedule for the annual exhibi-
tion of the American Rose Society, to be
held in Chicago March 25 to 27, has
been issued by Secretary Benjamin Ham-
mond, Fishkill, N. Y. The premiums are
those of last year, with the addition of
a number of special prizes which have
already been reported in the Review.

COUNCIL OF HORTICULTURE,

There will be a meeting of the Na-
tionril Council of Horticulture at the Au-
ditorium Annex, Chicago, at 10 a. m.
January 22, 1908. The members of the
council invite suggestions or questions on
any topics wnich should properly come
before that body. Plans for the press
bureau service for the coming year must
be worked out. It is hoped to make this
a stronger feature than ever before.
Other matters have been mentioned and
it is hoped that other lines of work may
be instituted which will be helpful to the
horticultural interests of the country.

THE DEATH ROLL.

William Cunningham.

William Cunningham died recently at

built. He leaves a wife and several
children.

Victor Dorval.

Victor Dorval died January 12, at
Woodside, L. I., where he had been at
grower for many years. He was widely
known among the old-time florists. The
business will be continued by his sons.

William Adams.

William Adams died at Great Neck,
L. I., December 31, at the age of 70
years. He was one of the pioneer grow-
ers of that section.

M. B. Btmker.

M. B. Bunker, retail florist, Boston,
died Sunday, January 12, as the result
of the second surgical operation he has
undergone in a brief period. The inter-
ment took place January 15, a number
of those in the trade attending.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The market for the closing days of
last week is described by most of the
wholesalers as being "just fair." Sat-
urday night a blizzard blew in and raged
"til day Sunday, so that the market
•lanuary 13 was decidedly dull. Tele-
yraphic communication was interrupted,
which doubtless had some effect, but
'he weather bureau reports the storm
^0 have been general over a wide ter-
ijtory, and the buyers, having stocked up
'n anticipation of a good Sunday trade,
found themselves with Sunday stock still
'•n hand Monday morning, which doubt-
'l^ss accounts, more than any other cause,
lor the absence of demand at the opening
'>f this week.

The change in weather has brought

a considerable reduction in receipts, but
there still is an abundance of stock with
which to meet all needs. Roses are
about the only item that cleans up in
good shape. And by roses Beauties are
not meant. The heavy crops of the lat-
ter variety are passing off, but there
continue to be supplies above the needs
of the legitimate demand. It is assert-
ed, and there is little danger of con-
tradiction, that never in the history of
this market have there been so many
Beauties in the first half of January,
and that never in January have prices
been so low. Bride has the call this
week, for a large part of the demand
is for funeral flowers. Killamey out-
sells Maid. Richmond has lost much
of the preeminence it gained just be-
fore Christmas, and other varieties are
a minor consideration, although they
all are selling fairly well.

Carnations are of splendid quality and
in large supply. Within the last week
receipts have been so heavy that spring
prices have prevailed. The regular de-
mand was insufficient to clean up the
daily receipts and recourse was had to
special offers telegraphed to the bargain
buyers out of town. It is a favorite
j>ractice to touch up the other fellow's
customers with these special offers, and
one that came back by mail to the regu-
lar source of supply read: "Good car-
nations, .$10 per thousand." It was
dated January 8. This was, of course,
an exceptional case, for good stock did
not go as low as that. Many sales of
thousand lots were, however, made at
$15, and $20 to .$25 called for fancy
stock.

With such heavy receipts of New York
violets as this market now has, the
outlook is not promising. In the last

week 75 cents per hundred has been
about the limit, if any quantity was
bought, and from that prices ran down
to where they vanished in the waste-bar-
rel. Violets never have been so low
in January and it is natural to suppose
that receipts will continue to increase
as spring approaches. Save for the
spurt which comes at St. Valentine's
day, and the other at Easter, there is
little prospect for any better price for
violets. The retailers can count with
reasonable certainty on at least one cheap
flower for the rest of this season, and
already many are making funeral work
of violets as affording better profit than
when made of other flowers.

Bulbous stock is abundant and slow
sale. Mignonette is almost immovable,
except in the fancy grades. Stevia is
about at an end, although one or two
houses still are receiving fine stock.

Green goods are plentiful, smilax es-
pecially so, although there is a big sup-
ply of long strings of asparagus. It
is noted that thq sale for boxwood, galax
and leucothoe is greater than usual, the
retailers making up more funeral work
with this material than in other seasons
— and funeral work is the reliance of
most of them just now.

Horticultural Society.

The annual meeting of the Horticul-
tural Society of Chicago, for the election
of oflScers and the transaction of other
business, was held in the trustees' room
of the Art Institute January 14. The

W. E. Kelley ; first vice-president, W. N.
Rudd; second vice-president, Ernst Wien-
hocbcr; third vice-president, N. H. Car-

committee who hold over are J. C.
Vaughan, J. B. Deamud, August Poehl-
mann and W. N. Rudd.

The treasurer reported a balance on
hand of $5,227.66. The society will not

give its annual autumn exhibition in
1908, but will cast its influence with the
Society of American Florists to make
the national flower show a success.

W, E. Kelley, the new president, is
not known to many of the trade. He is
the head of W. E. Kelley & Co., dealers
in lumber, with offices in the Railway
Exchange building. His residence is
2129 Calumet avenue.

Qub Meeting.

H. N. Bruns made a fine finish as
president of the Chicago Florists' Club,
seven new members being elected at the
meeting .January 9, at which his succes-
sor was elected. They are: F. R. Weiss-
gerber, Geo. A. Kuhl, Geo. R. Schumann,
A. F. Longren, W. J. Kimmel, Thomas
McAllister and R. S. "Woodward.

The new officers elected, and installed
with appropriate ceremony, are: Presi-
dent, Leonard Kill; vice-president,
George Asmus; treasurer, E. F. Winter-
son ; recording secretary, Tim Waters ;
financial secretary, J. E. .Jensen ; trustees,
F. F. Benthey, .1. F. Klimmer. August

Charles Knopf, of the B., K. & B.
Floral Co., Richmond, Ind., was present
with a magnificent vase of Sarah Hill,
the new white seedling carnation his
firm is disseminating this season. It
is of great size, of fine form and carried
on long, strong stems. The members
generally thought it the finest white car-
nation they had ever seen. The judges,
F. F. Benthey, August Poehlmann and
George Asmus, awarded it the club's
certificate. Mr. Knopf also exhibited

Various Notes.

Logan Kring, of Kring Bros., Fair-
'^ury, 111., who are on E. C. Amling's
list of growers of carnations, was in
town January 9 for the purpose of plac-
ing orders for a big boiler, glass and
f>ther material for a new house which
will be put up in the spring.

Phil Schupp, of J. A. Budlong's, pre-
dicts that with a continuation of winter
■^veather, buyers will be hustling for roses

before the end of the current week and
that next week carnations also will be
in demand.

C. L. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash-
burn, returned January 11, after a week
at West Baden, and feels much bene-
fited by the rest.

It is reported that both Bassett &
Washburn and George Reinberg will dis-
continue growing the Kate Moulton rose
next year, but Wietor Bros., on the
other hand, are planning to increase their
planting. N. J. Wietor says that from
the one house of it they are growing
this season, they are cutting more flow-
ers than from any other house of roses
on the place.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. devotes
an equal amount of space in its estab-
lishment, at New Castle, to Bride and

Killamey, and reports that the week of
January 5 to 11 was the first week this
season when they failed to take in more
money on Killarney than they did on the
other variety. L. Coatsworth went to
New Castle January 15 for a day.

Jeannette Iralson, mother of M. Iral-
son, died at her son's home, 382 E. For-
tieth street, January 13. She was 77
years of age. The remains were taken
to Dallas, Tex., for interment.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. ships a consid-
erable quantity of stock direct from the
greenhouses to out-of-town customers and,
in the big storm of January 12, suf-
fered much inconvenience because cut
off at Morton Grove from both tele-
phone and telegraph communication. The
city store ran short of stock and could
not reach the greenhouses by phone, so

a telegram was sent. Another good
order telegraphed direct from Detroit
to Morton Grove, sent Sunday morning,
was not received until nearly noon on
Mondav, with the order from the store.

Will Graff, of Columbus, Ohio, was in
town Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week. He says he suffered a 'severe case
of primula poisoning through handling
the plants at Christmas and was laid wp
nearly two weeks.

Bassett & Wasliburn say they can see
the approach of the end of the present
heavy crop of long Beauties, but they
still are cutting 300 a day and the qual-
ity is fine. Mr. Washburn says they
have done better with Beauties this sea-
son than ever in the history of the firm.

E. K. Pieser, of Kennicott's, has been
suflFering with the grippe, but has been
able to be about each day.

The E. F. Winterson Co. has been re
ceiving large consignments of fine Cat-
tleya Triana* from the east and also
gardenias and Adiantum Croweanum.

The supply houses are completing
their inventories and are well pleased
with the results shown for 1907. There
has been' little doing in the supply busi-
ness since Christmas, but the prospects
are thought to be good for spring.

H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayersdorf-
er, of Philadelphia, after spending a
week in this city, started January 13,
planning to continue their trip to the
Pacific coast.

The entire family of W. W. Fuller,
the Ravenswood retailer, has been on
the sick list.

It is reported that .Tensen & Dekema
will next season participate in the dis-
tribution of W. N. Ruild's white seed-

ling carnation. Mr. Jensen says the
sales on Defiance have been large since
the first of the year and the wide dis-
tribution of the variety is assured.

Leonard Kill says that Peter Rein-
berg has taken advantage of the low
price of glass to buy for the erection
of another range of carnation houses in
the spring. These houses will go up
beside the range erected last season, on
what the Reinbergs call the farm.

.John P. Risch, of Weiland & Risch,
points to his bandaged fingers as a sure
sign of the approach of spring. With
the turn of the year he always has
trouble from the festers caused by rose-
thorns beneath the skin.

L. Baumann & Co. say that whatever
may be the difficulties of a manufac-
turer, an importer also has his own
troubles. For instance, when the S. S.
Mt; Royal sailed from Antwerp in De-
cember it carried large consignments of
metal designs, moss wreaths and other
supplies for Baumann & Co. After be-
ing out thirty-one days the Mt. Royal
was brought into Queenstown with dis-
abled boilers. And Baumann & Co. need
the goods.

Charles Wiffin, of Des Plaines, is on
deck at the Flower Cirowers' market
after a month's illness with rheumatism.
Mrs. Wiffin still is suflFering from a
long attack of erysipelas.

Mrs. E. H. Hunt has been ill with
the grippe for several days at the home
of her son, C. M. Dickinson, at Park
Ridge. She has recovered sufficiently
to leave .January 13 for a visit with rel-
atives in Ohio.

Leaves of the English ivy are being
handled by E. H. Hunt in considerable

quantity. Funeral work made of them
presents a pleasing variation from the
ever-present galax and boxwood.

The A. L. Randall Co. reports that
Eniil Buettner will have his first crop
of white lilac ready for market by the
first part of next week.

C. W. McKellar has cyclamen plants
as one of his regular items of stock.

Last season the handling of New York
violets was largely concentrated in two
or three houses, but this year every
wholesaler has them in quantity.

Vaughan & Sperry say that while the
price of violets is lower than last year,
they are sending to Rhinebeck much
more money than last season, because the
shipments are so much heavier.

Some weeks ago it was reported in
the Review that the Batons' "ship had
come in." News of the event has just
reached the daily papers, some of which
are making big stories of the receipt of
a sum, said to be $100,000, from the
estate of .Tohn A. Creighton, of Omaha.

There will be a good delegation from
Chicago and vicinity at the carnation
convention at Washington, D. C, Janu-
ary 28 to 30. Among those who have
declared their intention of going are
.LE. .Tensen, W. N. Rudd, Peter Olsem.
A. T. Pyfer, F. Lautenschlager and A.
F. Longren. August Poehlmann doubt-
less will be of the party.

George C. Hartung, formerly in busi
ness on the north side, will open a storr
and greenhouses, .January 22, at llSlfi
Michigan avenue, Kensington. His new
establishment will be known as the Rose
land Greenhouses.

Society of America and judge at the
Chicago shows on several occasions, pass-
ed through the city January 8 en route to
Denver. Henry and Paul Dailledouze,
of Flatbush, N. Y., have been here this
week. Other visitors were Wm. Hage-
niann and C. B. Knickman, New York;
Edw. Amerpohl, Janesville, Wis.; Geo. S.
Crabb, Grand Rapids; I. L. Pillsbury
and son, Galesburg, 111.; P. J. Walker,
Danville, 111.

H. N. Bruns reports that he has just
received his third carload of valley pips,
making his importation for this season
about 900 cases, and close to two million
P'ps. This stock was, as usual, all pick-
ffl out by Mr. Bruns' brother, who is
located in the valley-growing district
of Germany. While Mr. Bruns will sell
a part of these pips, he intends to force
most of them for the Chicago market.

Mrs Herman Keller, of Granton, Wis.,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. Henry Born-
^op.U, on West Monroe street.

B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., Philadel-
phia, announces he will be in Chicago
January 17 to 21.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Winter has been side-tracked again
and the wholesale cut flower market has
followed in its train. Ever since January
6 the tendency has been to lower prices.
Quotations of a week ago look high to
the man who scans the average of Jan-
uary 11. Sunday we had rain, thunder
and hail. Monday was sunshine, warmth,
and all the earmarks of spring. If April
19 can furnish as lovely a day, look out
for a banner Easter. But in the mean-
time we must face present conditions as
cheerfully as possible. If the money
mart, as they call Wall street, is an in-
dicator, then good times are ahead, pub-
lic confidence is restored and all is well.
The depression, therefore, will be but
temporary.

Supplies are light, or prices would
have had no bottom. Beauties are down
to 35 cents for the finest, and 25 cents
would be a fairer average. The Beauty
quotations indicate the pulse of the en-

tire market, and so it is not difficult to
arrive at a just estimate of the whole.
Bride, Maid, Chatenay, KillaYney, and
even Richmond seldom rise above 10
cents. Carnations, which should lift
their heads on the eve of the great car-
nation convention at Washington, if
ever, have been split in two in price
since Christmas, and even worse, for the
novelties sold as low as 3 cents and 4
cents last week, and the older varieties
fell down to 1 cent and 2 cents.

Orchids and gardenias stay about on
an even keel, weddings, society dinners,
grand operas, and the coming-out par-
ties taking about all that come to town,
at regular winter prices.

Green goods of all kinds are abundant
and go off slowly. Lilies have fallen
about thirty per cent and valley has been
selling below its value, even the best of
it. Some fine long stock has been coming
from Canada. Tulips, hyacinths and
Paper Whites are doing nothing to make
a profit for the growers. Callas are
cheap, $1 a dozen securing the best of
them. There was not a violet in the mar-

ket on the morning of January 13, ex-
cept a single shipment, and even then
60 cents per hundred was the asking
price; 50 cents for the balance of the
week seems likely to be top. Saturday,
January 11, many were cleaned up as
low as $3.50 per thousand. Violets were
forced too heavily for Christmas. Qual-
ity since then has demonstrated that
fact strongly. The left-overs find rest
with the sidewalk merchants while the
spring temperature prevails. These and
valley are at every corner, and perambu-
lating Broadway in charge of an army
of the enterprising sons of sunny Italy
and classic Greece.

By the by, there is now in this coun-
try a society called the Pan-Hellenic
Union, composed of all the Greek united
bodies, with a membership of 250,000,
of which George D. Nicholas, the retail
florist, is secretary. Mr. Nicholas an-
nounces the ball of the Greek-American
Betail Florists' and Growers' Associa-
tion at the Palm Gardens, Lexington and
Third avenues and Fifty-eighth street,
on the evening of Friday, January 31,
and gives a cordial invitation to all the
Mew York florists to attend.

Qub Meeting.

The Florists' Club held its first meet-
ing of the year January 13, nearly 100
members being present. President C. H.
Totty gave his farewell address, in which
he gratefully acknowledged the loyalty
and good will of the members during the
year, after which he introduced the pres-
ident-elect, Charles B. Weathered. Mr.
Weathered made an address in which he
paid deserved credit to his predecessors,
Messrs. May, Dean, Scott, Traendly,
Sheridan, Totty and others, declaring it

would be a hard task to equal their rec-
ords. He promised to give his best ef-
forts to the club's upbuilding. He sug-
gested methods for increasing the at-
tendance and pointed out the wisdom of

bers. The opening of the meetings at
7 : 30 was advocated and emphasized. He
congratulated the club on its financial
strength, having over $2,500 in the bank.
^ Vice-president Marshall followed in a
similar vein, telling of the congratula-
tions on the honor which had reached

him from four states, as evidence of the
widespread interest taken in the club's
accomplishments.

John Young, the secretary since 1891,
spoke of the abundant talent in the club
and the general ability of its members,
of the need of a new home, and of his
gratitude for the continuous honor con-
ferred.

JTnX. Allen, the treasurer, foUowetl

gratitude, pledging his best efforts. Ad-
dresses were also made by the new trus-
tees, E. V. Hallock, W. B. Du Rie and
A. J. Bickards. Owing to the illness of
his wife. Trustee Guttman was unable
to attend.

Secretary Young read the club's reso-
lutions on the death of Phil ^. Haus-
wirth, which were adopted.

The president announced his commit-
tees as follows:

Legislative Committee — Messrs. O 'Ma-
ra, Sheridan, Stewart.

Essay Committee — Messrs. Hammond,
Barron, Burnie.

on closer relations with the Horticultural
Society of New York. Mr. Totty spoke
against the sinking of the club's indi-
viduality. In addition to Mr. O'Mara,
Aiessrs. Allen, Brinkerhoff, Troy, Lager,
Atkins, Nielson, Eoehrs, Siebrecht, Pier-
son, Turner and Ward are already mem-
bers of both organizations. The com-
mittee, after a conference, requested the
report be referred back to it for further
consideration.

After a recess, during which Messrs.
Nugent, Bickards and ^hultz dispensed
the luxuries of the season, Robert Simp-
son, president of the American Rose So-
^^®ty> gave a stirring address in its be-
half.

Announcement of the death of Victor
Dorval was made, and a committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Donaldson, Shaw and
Stewart appointed to draw up suitable
resolutions.

An interesting dinner discussion re-
sulted in a vote authorizing the commit-
tee to go ahead with the arrangements,

the cost fixed at $5, as usual. Messrs.
Schultz, Rickards, Marshall, Totty, Sher-
idan and O'Mara orated interestingly.

W. F. Sheridan read the trustees' re-
port, showing a balance of $2,601.95 in
the treasury.

The entertainment committee during
the last year expended .$300 in its ef-
forts to dispense good cheer and enjoy-
ment. Mr. O'Mara suggested a reduc-
tion to $10 monthly for the canteen.
Mr. Simpson spoke in favor of its elim-
ination. Mr. Nugent and Mr. Barnett
spoke for the house committee and its
work, as did Mr. Marshall, and by a vote
of twenty-one to fifteen the committee
was instructed to proceed as it sees fit,
cigars and food hereafter being elimi-
nated from the monthly menu. Messrs.
Young, Sheridan and Allen were ap-
pointed the committee to determine the
club's place of meeting after June.

The committee of awards gave a vote
of thanks to William P. Craig for a
grand vase of Mrs. Jardine rose and to

Anton C. Zvolanek for an exhibit of
sweet peas, thirty-two varieties being
shown. John Lapp, of Maspeth, showed
a pink seedling carnation which the com-
mittee requests to be exhibited again.

Interesting addresses were made by
Wni. P. Craig, A. Farenwald and S. S.
Skidelsky.

The B. & O. sent an offer of one and
one-third fare to the Washington carna-
tion convention, January 28 to 30, $7.75

The Smoker at Madison.

The annual smoker of the club at
Madison drew well January 8. Over 100
enjoyed the uproarious festival. The
famous Totty punch, a worthy rival of
John Westcott's decoction, was in evi-
dence. The society now numbers sev-
enty-five. Percy Herbert is president,

There is no pessimism in the ribbon sec-
tion of the florists' business.

Reed & Keller are enjoying the usual

lull before the Easter business, and, as
usual, Mr. Reed's inventive brain is
working overtime. The latest novelty is
the Easter-egg baskets made of plaited
cane on easels. There will be a wide
call for the birch bark plaited boxes for
palms and plant combinations. The sup-
ply men are all optimistic and predict a
growing demand until Easter, and all
are preparing for it.

The New York papers exploited a find
last week by Mrs. McNieee, a florist on
upper Broadway, of thirteen pearls in
the gizzard of a turkey, the jewels val-
ued at $4,000.

John Nash attended the wedding of
Alfred A. Tharp, Bedford, N. Y., and
Miss C. L. Brenminger at St. Matthew's
church January 8. He says it was a
beautiful decoration, with - some hilari-
ous demonstrations speeding the young
folks on their honeymoon, Mr. Tharp is
a son of A. F. Tharp, the carnation
grower whose first shipments years ago
were made to the firm of Moore, Hentz

of the west side. The only absentees
were Messrs. Julius Roehrs, Jr., John

of the S. A. F. was the guest of honor.
In addition to the hosts there were pres-
ent Messrs. Totty, Sheridan, Manda,

sided with dignity and suavity, a happy
augury for the year's developments.

I visited the orchid factory of Lager

Lord & Burnham built most of it some
twelve years ago. There are over 50,000
square feet of glass. Out of 6,000
known species of orchids this firm has

half of them. Altogether there are over
100,000 orchid plants housed here and
they are coming and going all the time.
Shipments are made to Shanghai, Yoko-
hama, Trinidad, Hawaii and Australia,
with perfect safety. The goods go by
express in ventilated boxes. The outlook
is most satisfactory and the growing
popularity of the orchid, they say, more
and more encouraging. Fancy cypripe-
diums are attracting at present the
greatest interest. Cattleya Trianae is
now in bloom, and others will follow in
rotation. From one enthusiast, whose
travels in South America would make a
book of interesting research and discov-
ery, the inspiration has spread until in

The Rlsin^f Eastern Market.

The market conditions last week were
not all that might have been desired. The
supply is not large, comparatively speak-
ing, and the business is not quite up to
the standard. The weather is favorable
for roses and carnations, the latter com-
ing in strong. Beauties are going slowly,
for the demand is not so heavy as in
former years at this season. Killarney
sells well. The fancy grades are bring-
ing a fair price. Bridesmaid in the
fancy grades cleans up well, while with
Bride it is the reverse, the shorter grades
being the most sought after for funeral
work, of which there has been quite a
lot. Red roses have not sold so well, the
supply being greater than the demand.

There are too many carnations at the
present time. All the growers are cut-
ting heavily and the demand is slow.
Yellow daisies are fine and are used ex-
tensively in baskets and window decora-
tions. Violets, single and double, are
moving slowly, as is also valley, which is
fine, but the supply is too great. Cat-
tleyas and cypripediums are in fair de-
mand. Mignonette and greens are sell-
ing well. Cornflower has made its ap-
pearance and is much sought after. Lav-
ender peas and freesia in the fancy
grades are quickly taken up, but the
shorts hang fire.

The Market.

Last week was noted for its fine weath-
er, its abundance of cut blooms at all
the wholesale houses, and prices away
down. January 13 we had our first
real winter weather and a good fall of
8now, which will, no doubt, stiffen up
the prices by decreasing the amount of
stock that has been coming in. According
to the reports of our wholesale men,
trade all over the city must have been
'lull in all lines except funeral work,
*s white flowers sold, while colored stock
"3(1 to be dumped or sold at a low
price in order to dispose of it. This
"^^ reference only to firsts and seconds,
'*8 fancy stock sold cheap.

I^rides and Maids are plentiful and
'0 are carnations of all varieties. Cali-
to uia violets, too, seem abundant. In

bulb stock, callas, valley, Bomans and
Paper Whites, the market is overstock-
ed. A lot of fine white and pink sweet
peas are coming in. The more season-
able weather should brace up the trade
in general all over the country.

Miller in Street Fi{[ht

The daily papers of January 8 con-
tained the following :

"Theodore Millei', a florist, of 4832
Delmar boulevard, was arrested Wednes-
day morning at Sixth and Olive streets
after he had knocked down Simon Jo-
seph, president of the Simon Joseph
Iron and Metal Co., of 4954 McPher-
son avenue. Both men were taken to
the Central Station by Policeman Duek-
er, who witnessed the fight, and Joseph
was released when be said he would ap-
pear against Miller.

"Miller said that about two years
ago he bought $1,000 worth of first

mortgage bonds of the St. Louis, Web-
ster & Valley Pa^k Railroad Co., for
$940 from Joseph. He said he received
his dividends up to six weeks ago. After
that, he said, Joseph would not pay him,
saying that the money stringency made
it impossible to do so. Miller said he
consulted a lawyer, but had taken no
action. He said he struck Joseph but
once. Miller is 48 years old and Jo-
seph 52."

Qub Meeting.

The new year's meeting of the St.
Jjouis Florists' Club was held in the
Burlington building January 9 at two
o'clock, and was attended by thirty
members. All the oflBcers were in their
chairs when the meeting was called to
order. President W. C. Young presiding.
The trustees reported unfavorably as to
the entertainment proposed at the last
meeting.

Chairman Sanders, of the pottery com-
mittee, made a report of the commit-
tee's meeting. This report brought out
a lengthy discussion, in which aU the
members took part. On a final vote
it was decided that a subscription
amounting to $10,000 must be completed
by May 15, and in case the subscription
was not completed by that time the pot-
tery proposition would be dropped. Dur-
ing the meeting $1,500 was subscribed.

It was decided that at the next regu-
lar club meeting the annual carnation
exhibition should take place. The local
growers and growers of new varieties
are invited to make exhibits.

J. F. Ammann invited the members to
attend the meeting of the Illinois Flo-
rists' Association, which takes place Feb-
ruary 18, at Springfield, HI. President
Young urged the members to prepare
exhibits and make a display at the na-
tional flower show, at Chicago, next No-
vember. The question box contained a
number of important questions, which
interested the local growers and retailers.

Qub Meettn£.

The Florists' Ciub met Tuesday even-
ing, January 7, and this was the time
for the nomination of officers. Presi-
dent John Jones declining another term,
Fred Burki was nominated for that of-
fice, and H. L. Blind as treasurer. The
balance of the old officers were nomi-
nated for reelection.

On motion the secretary was instruct-
ed to write to the secretary of the
American Carnation Society, extending
to that society an invitation to bring its
next meeting to Greater Pittsburg, and
if this could not be accomplished, to
make sure of the 1910 convention.

In discussing the next meeting, in
February, which is to be carnation night
and when prizes are to be awarded, the
committee having charge of the private
gardens' interests, not having shown any
interest, was discharged and on motion
a new committee was named. This was
necessary, as the many gardeners from

private places, who have helped the club
and are interested in this show, were
not satisfied to be dropped because sev-
eral members on their committee were
not interested. This show of interest
so stirred up our friend, Harry Bunyard,
who was a visitor, that he took the floor
and after a few pleasant remarks con-
tributed, in the name of his employer,
A. T. Boddington, $10, to be distributed
as the committee thought best.

The subject of the evening, "Roses,"
was then taken up and enthusiastically
discussed.

Mr. Mann, representing the E. G. Hill
Co., of Bichmond, Ind., arrived just in
time to stage a very fine exhibit of the
roses Bhea Reid and Princess, and the
carnations White Enchantress, Sarah Hill
and Afterglow. Rhea Reid is a fine thing
and if it is what is claimed for it,
Beauty growers will want nothing lesf
than 36-inch Beauties. The fact that
some had seen "White Enchantress which
were not white, reflected on that sort, but
Afterglow and Sarah Hill caught on.
as the orders taken by Mr. Mann wil
testify.

A handsome vase of Mrs. Pottc^
Palmer, sent by Poehlmann Bros. Co .
received deserved attention. The flower
arrived in fine condition, with good stem!",
fine foliage and a color that will be re
ceived well by the retailers.

EARLY COPY IS A GREAT HELP

toward'good display and position. If the nize of your stock does not
require a pare adv. send a classifled, but SEND IT EARLY.

A handsome vase of Mrs. Jardine was
well liked, but would have caused more
enthusiasm if they could have been shown
as they looked two days later, as this
is one of the roses that improve with
age.

Then came the home exhibit by the
Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co. — largo
vases of Richmond and Killarney, as
fine as ever exhibited; Maids, Brides,
Perles, Cusin, Chatenay, Bon Silene and
Alice Roosevelt. All of the stock was
fine, but the Killarney was exceptionally
fine. One visitor remarked that his busi-
ness took him all over the country, but
it was the finest rose of this variety he
had ever seen.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. exhibit-
ed a vase of very handsome Beauties
from its regular stock on sale for the
day, and they were all right.

Dr. Schaffer showed a number of va-
rieties of the rarer cypripedium plants
in bloom.

Wm. Meischke, of Castle Shannon, ex-
hibited a vase of assorted roses.

The committee appointed to look into
the good points of the new roses ex-
hibited, reported that they believed there
was a place for each of them and that
another year will find them greater
favorites than they are at present.

Varioos Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Ludwig and their
son, Edward, will leave in a few days
for the Pacific coast, to visit their son,
De Forest Ludwig, who is now located
at Los Angeles, Cal.

Gustav Ludwig, of the firm of G. &
J. W. Ludwig, is a candidate for school
director in his ward.

A good many belated poinsettias have

been coming into the market since New
Year's, but there is no sale for them.

Hoo-Hoo.

WASHINGTON.

Qub Meeting.

The night of the last club meeting,
January 7, was without a doubt the
worst night we have had this winter, and
yet there was a fair attendance. All
arrangements were completed, as far as
possible, for the coming carnation con-
vention. The National Rifles armory has
been secured. The meetings will take
place upstairs and the e^ibit down-
stairs.

The American Breeders' Association
will meet at the same time in the hall
adjoining. The members of the Carna-
tion Society will be their guests one
night and the breeders will be enter-
tained the next by the Carnation Society.

The banquet will take place at the hall
of Chas. Rancher, the leading caterer
of the capital.

The attention of the club was called
to the fact that the convention will be
in session January 29, McKinley day,
which is Washington's great carnation
day. A committee was appointed to
make arrangements to distribute carna-
tions to the public school children of the
city on that day.

President Peter Bisset, who is much
improved in health, gave a very inter-
esting talk on his recent visit to Porto
Rico.

E. M. Byrnes, superintendent of green-
houses and grounds for the Agricultural
Department, sent a vase of seedling car-
nations which were much admired, es-

pecially three extra fine ones. These
were a dark red, similar to Roosevelt;
a red, on the order of red Lawson, and
a very fine pink.

Ctirrent Comment,

Everybody seems to have the midwin-
ter pace. Business seems to be good
with everybody, especially the stores.
Stock still continues scarce. Funeral
work has been especially heavy for the
last two weeks. Last week the funeral
of Allison Naylor, a thirty-third degree
Mason, called for a great many large
pieces. All the stores had some orders.
January 10 the funeral of Captain
Diggs, a naval oflBcer, took place. There
were all kinds of designs, including some
special ones. One of these was a 5-foot
panel with crossed cannons made of
white carnations, embossed over a large
anchor made of violets, with clusters of
orchids and valley in the corners, made
by Gude Bros. Another was a large
standing wreath of white heather, vio-
lets, Killarney roses and valley, by Z. D.
Blackistone. O. O.

A. T. BoDDiNGTON's Ladj Lenox cos-
mos is more generally catalogued than
any other novelty of the year.

The business of the Planters' Seed
Co., Springfield,^ Mo., is said to have
been, in 1907, 400 per cent ahead of any
other year, January 2 the company
moved into its new warehouse, where it
has a switch and all facilities for han-
dling a large volume of business.

The majority of leading seed houses
began mailing catalogues earlier this
year than usual and report a prompt re-
sponse. It appears that many seed buy-
ers have been impressed with the fact
that this is a season of general seed
shortages and that one who wants a spe-
cial variety should get his order in early.

In the wholesale trade catalogue of
W. W. Johnson & Co., Boston, England,
there is a "Special Notice," as fol-
lows : "In consequence of the moist and
sunless season, seeds generally have been
indifferently ripened and harvested. We
therefore beg our friends to unpack
all goods immediately on arrival and
to recommend their customers to sow
more thickly than usual to prevent dis-
appointment. ' '

ary, but it lasted only a few days. Bet-
ter things are looked for soon, however.

The flurry in canners' peas has sub-
sided.

Congress will soon be ready to vote
its members free seeds for 1909.

The annual invasion of salesmen for
the Holland bulb growers has begun.

Theee is a brisk demand for the mar-
ket gardeners' varieties of early radish.

Late deliveries of seeds are interfer-
ing with the work of the mail order
houses.

Just as the catalogues went out, after
an unusually warm early winter, a big
blizzard buried the Mississippi valley.

The H. F. Miehell Co., Philadelphia,
devotes forty pages in its 1908 catalogue
to garden and greenhouse requisites.

South Texas promises to supply the
early vegetables, not only for the west,
but to penetrate to eastern markets to
compete with the truck from Florida and
South Carolina.

The Lohrman Seed Co., of Detroit,
has opened bids for the erection of a
one-story and basement warehouse, to be
erected at the corner of Gratiot avenue
and Bandolph street.

One seedsman even puts a cut of
Stowell's Evergreen and Country Gentle-
man corns on the cover of his 1908 cata-
logue, though a search of the sixty pages
in the book fails to show the latter vari-
ety to be listed and only pecks at $1.25
are offered on Evergreen.

William Sim, Cliftondale, Mass., re-
ports that mice have destroyed his stock
of seed of Comet tomato to such an ex-
tent that he will have no- more than
enough for his own needs, instead of
having quite a quantity to sell, as he
had expected. He grows it extensively
under glass.

The Knox County Truck and Berry
Growers' Association holds a meeting at
Knoxville, Tenn., every Saturday morn-
ing, to discuss growing and marketing.
It is proposed that a committee of the
most successful growers be appointed to
buy all the seeds the members will need
during the season.

Peter Henderson & Co. enclose in
their 1908 catalogue a blank headed:
I 'To the Kecipient: We would esteem
it a favor if you will send us the names
and addresses of a few of your neigh-
bors who are likely to be interested in
our catalogue and goods." And at the
bottom of the sheet it says: "If any
of the above make a business of grow-
ing vegetables for sale kindly put an X
in front of their names."

Many mail-order seedsmen feel that
this is to be a season which will bring a
great deal of early business. Most of
the houses consider that in a normal sea-
son their success is measured by the
volume of business in January and Feb-
ruary, as March and the first part of
April give them all they can do, no mat-
ter how much business has been taken
care of in the two preceding months.
The seedsman who is late with his cata-
logue this year is missing the gravy.

TWO NEW VARIETIES FOR 1908.

Vick*s Imperial Sunrise

A novelty of extraordinary merit. Seed-
ling from Vick's Daybreak, but distinct in
form of flower, each petal being perfectly
quilled. Color, delicate pink. Plant a
robust grower, upright branches, each
crowned with magnificent double flowers,
three to five inches in diameter. Type se-
curely fixed. Sure to be a winner, racket,
25c; two packets or more, 20c each.

Vick's Early Branching

Developed from Vick's Late Branching.
Flowers of this new variety can be placed
on the market ten days ahead of Late
Branching sorts. Plants have few branches
which are free from side buds, the whole
strength of the plant being given to the de-
velopment of large, perfectly double flow-
ers. Long stems. Two colors. White and
Rose. Packet, 25c; two packets or more,
20c each. For prices in quantity see our
"Aster Book for Florists."

Besults bring advertising.
The Review brings resuSs.

Olean, N. Y. — E. A. Llewellyn reports
that, despite the alleged panic, his sales
December 16 to 28, 1907, exceeded his
sales in the corresponding two weeks of
1906 by nearly sixty per cent. His sales
for the year 1907 show an increase of
about thirty-three per cent. This, he
says, would be very encouraging, if
wholesale prices had not been so high,

but the retailer has not been able to dis-
pose of his stock at a corresponding ad-
vance in price.

Richmond, Ind. — The Gift Floral Co.
had a good Christmas trade, better than
in 1906. Everything was sold out clean,
and more cut flowers could have been dis-
posed of. Prices were about the same.
Less holly was handled than formerly.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

JANUABT 16, 1908.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Quiet conditions prevail in the flower
market at present. Flowers are rather
more abundant than a week ago, partic-
ularly in the case of violets, which have
taken a noticeable drop. About 50 cents
per hundred is the prevailing price, a
few seUing higher and some lower. The
quality of both singles and doubles is
splendid. Carnations maintain the prices
of a week ago, there being still a more
active call for white than colored vari-
eties. Boses sell well and are not in
heavy supply. Killarney and Richmond
are proving fine sellers again this season.
Lilies are in good supply, the price re-
maining about 12 cents. Callas bring
similar prices.

Some good sweet peas are coming in,
making $1 to $1.50 per hundred. Trum-
pet daffodils are a slow sale, as they al-
ways are early in the season. Tulips are
still rather short-stemmed. Nothing but
La Reine is coming in. Paper Whites
and Roman hyacinths continue in over-
supply. Some fine freesia makes up to
$6 per hundred, the variety Purity being
exceptionally good. Lily of the valley
sells slowly and there is only a slow sale
for^ white lilac. Mignonette is of good
quality and some good antirrhinums are
seen. Among miscellaneous flowers ar-
riving are blue cornflowers, English
primroses, calendulas, myosotis and sweet
alyssum. There is still a good supply
of stevia. Adiantum, smilax and aspar-
agus are each meeting with a moderate
sale.

There is, a fine call only for pot plants.
Growers of palms and fcriM. are com-
plaining of trade being qyiffe'dull.

Various Notes.

Ladies' night at the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club, January 21, will attract,
it is expected, an attendance of between
300 and 400. A fine entertainment has
been prepared, which cannot; fail to be
enjoyable. Only necessary club business
will be transacted, as much time as pos-
sible being set aside for social enjoy-
ment.

Wilfrid Wheeler opened the lecture
season of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society at Horticultural hall Jan-
uary 11, with an interesting paper on
the Concord grape and its originator,
Ephraim W. Bull. This fine grape was
first exhibited in Boston September 3,
1853. Some fine seedlings raised by Mr.
Bull are still undisseminated.

Louis Sander, of the Arnold Arbore-
tum staff, has had to undergo a third
operation at the Faulkner Hospital, Ja-
maica Plain, consequent on a first opera-
tion for acute appendicitis. At last re-
ports, Mr. Sander was doing as well as
could be expected.

John K. M. L. Farquhar lectured on
"Italian Gardens" before the Worcester
Horticultural Society January 9.

Carnations, violets and primulas are
among the special features at the Horti-
cultural hall show January 25. Prelim-
inary schedules may be had on applica-
tion to W. P. Rich, the secretary.

A. Leuthy reports trade as rather quiet
in palms, ferns and other pot plants
which they specialize in.

The Killarney roses which Mr. Mont-
gomery is sending in from Waban Con-
servatories are of superb quality. Those
who have been accustomed to see this
fine rose on short stems are amazed at
the quality of the Waban Killarney.
W. H. Elliott is also having fine success

The Market

Business is moving along in a sort
- of rut. There is just about enough de-
mand to keep the wholesale houses fairlj
well cleaned out, but as there is not
a large cut of flowers coming in, the
total receipts are not large. Thibgs sort
of drag along, and prices are gradually
slipping downward. I do not believe
that they will go down so very far,
though, as a change in the weather is
due and with a change to colder weath-
er we can expect a revival of prices. It
is colder now, with the prospect of
some real winter weather soon.

While roses are coming in plentifully
now, many growers report that they will
soon be off crop and, with some cloudy,
cold weather along with that, we can look
for a shortage of roses within the next
couple of weeks. Carnations are doing
well and the supply is right up to the
demand. The quality of the stock is
good and the prices are satisfactory,
though the tendency is downward. Bulb-
ous stock is seen in increasing quantities
and sells well. Lilies of all kinds are
in demand. Violets move slowly. This
market is well fixed on green goods,
with a good demand.

Various Notes.

The florists in Covington and Newport,
Ky., had quite a rush last week when the
city ofiicials took their seats. They
about cleaned up the entire market and
this demand, coming just when it did,
was a great help to things in general.

January 22 E. G. Gillett will move his
wholesale house to 114 East Third street,
almost opposite his present location.
These new quarters are finely adapted
for the wholesale flower business and
will give him much more space. Besides
this, it will bo much more convenient for
his customers.

C. E. Critchell is expecting to go to
"Washington with the Cincinnati delega-
tion to the carnation meeting.

Several changes have taken place
among the florists of the west end. The
Brighton Floral Co. has closed its doors
and Franken Bros, have opened a store
on Central avenue.

Sunderbruch & Meier, whose green-
houses are located in Norwood, report
a shortage in roses, but have a fine crop
in sight.

J. Chas. McCullough has just returned
from a trip to California, where he went
to attend the wedding of his son, Trimble.
During his stay there he went on a
hunting trip into old Mexico and in
six days managed to bag 600 quail.
And they report that it was not so
very easy shooting, either.

Peter Herb has just delivered 200
fine white mums to Julius Baer. These
mums will be used in a wedding decora-

tion January 18. These, I should say,
are the last mums of the season. Mr.
Herb was the originator of the carnation
Adelaide Kresken, which can probably
be said to be the first of the race of
fancy carnations which are with us today.
This carnation was a very large one,
especially according to the standards
of that day, but it split badly and
consequently was of but little commer-
cial value. Richard Witterstaetter saw
the opportunity of improving the carna-

tion, though, and in his early experi-
ments he used it freely in various crosses.
Enquirer was one of the early results,
and though this carnation was a great
improvement, it still retained too much
of the bursting quality to be of great
commercial value. Mr. Witterstatter has
since eradicated the tendency to burst
from his seedlings by careful crossing.

John Walker says it is not very con-
soling to be told by a fellow craftsman
that he can grow more flowers by moon-
light than John can by sunlight, but it is
about a fact just the same and condi-
tions have become so that another year
will see this big range of glass trans-
ported to a brighter region. The cost
of even attempting to keep the glass
free from acid and smoke is in itself a
serious item. And yet some things flour-
ish. Carnations and I'oses just linger,
but violets flower profusely, particularly
a single named Mystery, of which, this
season, by actual count, more than 25,-
000 have been picked from a bench 200
feet long, plants four rows in width.

The stem averages five ipches and the
flower is deep blue, of good size and
highly fragrant. It originated with Carl
Merkle, of Mentor, and has not, I be-
lieve, been widely distributed. Here is
an experimental house of early flowering
sweet peas. The earliest and most free
is a fine white from a leading seed house
and is ahead of all others'. Mr. Walker
says it may well be called a dark weather
favorite. Begonia rubra is grown in
large numbers. It has a good sale, being
one of the best flowering kind to bed
out. Asparagus plumosus nanus in 3-
inch pots, by the thousand, is thrifty
stock, just ready for a shift. A large
stock of Nephrolepis Scottii and Ficus
elastica is disposed of at wholesale.

Gus. A. Geng is out of the smoke
zone and manages to produce a full line
of stock, which finds ready sale at re-

Vegetable Forcing.

PARSLEY.

Parsley sown now in rows on a raised
bench will give more leaves at a time
when the regular winter supply is run-
ning to seed and will net remarkable
prices. If a bench is not at liberty, drop
half a dozen seeds in each of a number
of sm^U pots and plant them out when
you have a spare bench. These plants
may be kept in pots, gradually hard-
ened off and planted outdoors in April.
At the time this parsley is yielding nice
leaves the price is usually high, the sea-
son being right between the winter and
summer crops. N.

ELECTRIC LIGHT ON LETTUCE.!

I am trying to force lettuce by light
at night. Should the temperature be the
same as during the day? B. B. C.

You cannot make your plants work
night and day without a little rest. Night
being the natural time for this, the tem-
perature must then be lowered. Even
with, electric light I would not run the
house over 45 degrees during the night,
or your plants wiU become weakened and
the foliage thin, and the plants will thus
be rendered susceptible to the attacks of
disease. Wm. Scott.

CAULIFLOWER.

Cauliflower sells well in the large mar-
kets during April and May, before the
season for fresh garden peas opens, and
brings good prices with the high grade
commission dealers. Kronk's Erfurt, of
which there is a special forcing strain, is
undoubtedly superior to all other varie-
ties for forcing. Sow the seed now in
flats or in the bench in a house kept at
50 degrees at night. Prick off into flats
or benches when suflSciently large to
handle, which would be after the second
pair of leaves has appeared, and later
plant out in benches of well manured
soil. They can be grown much wanner
than lettuce, 55 degrees at night suiting
them well, but they will do well 10 de-
grees lower. It is a good idea to place
a layer of rotten manure at the bottom
of the benches for the roots to run in.

Cauliflower must have an abundant
water supply when growing and manure
water as the heads appear will add to
their size. Coldframes in which a foot
of warm manure has been firmly tramped
are quite suitable for their culture after

VEGETABLES UNDER GLASS.

We should like to know what vegeta-
bles, besides lettuce, tomatoes and rad-
ishes, can be grown profitably under
glass. At what temperature should they
be kept? Do you think it advisable to
grow lettuce, tomatoes and radishes in
the same house? If not, how could we
manage? F. C. H.

Cucumbers are one of the most profit-
able crops for forcing under glass. They
require a night temperature of 65 de-
grees, with a rise of 20 degrees by sun
heat. CauUflower can also be employed
for this purpose. A night temperature
of 45 to 50 degrees suits it best, this
same temperature being also suitable for
radish and lettuce, though for the latter
45 degrees is better than 50 degrees. But
tomatoes require at least 60 degrees at
night. The variance in temperature re-
quired will therefore show that the three
vegetables mentioned in the query can-
not be grown successfully in the same
house.

The question, "How could we man-
age?" is a rather hard one to answer,
considering that you give no details re-
garding the arrangement, construction or
heating facilities of your house or houses.

If you have two houses and one is heated
so as to maintain the highest temperature
given above, then the matter is quite
easy. If you have only one house, you
can either cut out the warmer growing
class or the cooler growing class and
grow the other exclusively, or you can
partition your house, install enough pip-
ing in the one division to give you the
necessary high temperature and run the
other part to suit the cooler class.

PACIFIC COAST.

Berkeley, Cal. — H. H. Lilienthal,
state vice-president of the S. A. F., is
not confining his efforts to securing new
members, but has started an auxiliary,
in the Juvenile Horticultural Society, or-
ganized December 22.

CALIFORNIA NURSERYMEN.

The so-called "hard times" have af-
fected the nursery interests on the Pa-
cific coast to a considerable extent, and
some trouble has been experienced in
delivering orders that were placed last
summer and fall. Generally speaking,
last year's business was the heaviest
ever done by the coast dealers and the
wave of prosperity extended well into
the middle of the year. Much planting,
both on large and smaller places, had
been done and much more was proposed
for this season. Countermands, how-
ever, began to come in to the sellers,
and by the time the season was well ad-
vanced considerable stock was left on
hand that had been sold previously. This
is especially noticeable in the places that
do business by the aid of agents, and
many nurserymen will not be able to
deliver over fifty per cent of their orders.
There is not so much trouble with fruit
trees and vines, as these are looked upon
as necessities, but with ornamental stock
of all kinds there is a decided movement
to wait a year at least. Owners of large
tracts, as well as those who only buy
to beautify their homes, have shown the
same disinclination to expend much
money for what they do not consider
necessary articles, and the result is that
quantities of stock will be left on the
growers' hands.

With nurserymen who do not hire
agents there is the same condition, al-
though countermanded orders are not so
noticeable, as people usually deal directly
with these firms and the difference is
mostly noticeable in the absence of in-
quiries for stock.

Another feature that has made a dif-
ference in the sales of the larger firms
is their shortening of lengths of time of
credit to the smaller firms. This, in
turn, has made the smaller dealers more
careiful in extending credit to people
to whom they have in times past given
considerable leeway on purchases, and to
a certain extent this had the effect of
making them more cautious and better
able to meet their payments.

With such of the trade as depend en-
tirely on the sale of cut flowers for a
livelihood, this has also been very notice-
able this season, and quick payments
have been the rule all along the line.

We are yet early in the season and
there may be brighter times ahead for
both the retailer and wholesaler, but
the watchword all along the line so far
this season has been, "Go slow." G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Madcet.

We are far enough removed from the
holiday time for business to get back
again into its ordinary rut. There is
very little doing in a general way. Some
retailers seem to be busy enough, but
it is principally with funeral work and
outside of this there is very little moving.

The weather, however, has not been
very conducive to much in the flower
line, as we have had an abundance of

dark, cloudy days, with some frost. Such
a combination does not assist in the
developing of inside stock and, with
the exception of violets, there is a slight
shortage. This is particularly noticeable
in the realm of roses and but little
fancy stock is seen. White carnations,
too, have felt the season's unfavorable
weather and they are also in short supply.

Valley is plentiful and has been clean-
ed up better than at any time since the
season commenced. Narcissi of all kinds
are plentiful and are bringing good
prices. A few inside-grown sweet peas
are displayed and net the growers $2
per dozen bunches, each bunch con-
taining about three dozen flowers.

Chrysanthemums are holding out well
and, considering the season, they are
in good shape. Violets are plentiful and
cheap and are being used more this
season than ever before in floral designs
and sprays for funeral purposes. Maid-
enhair fern and asparagus are not in
as good supply as could be wished at
this time and the retailers have some
trouble in keeping supplied with these
commodities.

Variottt Notes.

The cheapening announced by the tele-
phone companies of the rates between
San Francisco and outside towns will
make it much easier for the retailers
to keep in communication with the
growers.

The Piedmont Floral Co., of Oakland,

and asters, which are the 'main crops
grown. The business will gradually be ex-
panded so as to include the growing of
hardy shrubs, vines and other nursery
stock. The range at present consists of
four houses, with an office, etc. The
houses are all connected. Two of them are
each 20x150, and the other two are each
27x150, with plenty of room to extend
them. The heating plant, including two
large tubular boilers, has also been con-
structed with a view to future extension.
The product of these houses is mostly re-
tailed at the downtown store, though a
portion is wholesaled to florists in near-
by towns.

NURSERY NEWS.

AHBICAN ASSOCIATION OF MCBSBBYHEN.

Pres., J. W. Hill, Des Molnee, la.; Vlce-prea..
C. M. Hobba, Bridgeport, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. C,
Seaerer, Rochester, N. Y.; Treaa., 0. L. Yates,
Rochester, N. Y.-The 33d annual convention will
be held at Milwaukee, June, 1908.

Plant a row of Colorado blue spruce
in some conspicuous place. Have every
one a perfect specimen.

A COEPORATION organized by citizens
of Atlanta, Ga., plans to plant large
citrus orchards in Cuba. H. L. Collier is
president and H, H. Cabaniss secretary.

The government will abandon its
nursery on Mount Wilson, in Los An-
geles county, California, and consolidate
it with the one maintained by the For-
est Bureau in Lytle Creek Canyon, near
San Bernardino.

Those who have made extensive use
of Ampelopsis Veitchii for covering old
trees, buildings, etc., can rest easy,
knowing that in spring this useful and
beautiful vine will come out unharmed;
no so with many other things used for
like purposes.

' Of all maples the Norway is perhaps
the most popular, and deservedly so. The
demand for this maple has increased tre-
mendously recently, and this increased
demand is by no means confined to a
few localities; instead, it is the same
nearly all over the country.

If you think there will be considerable
demand in your section within the next
few years for four or five-year-old trees,
look over some reliable wholesale men's
catalogues, then get prices on once trans-
planted seedlings, make the best bargain
you can, get them, plant them and the
chances are you will do better than if
you grew them from the start yourself.

Perennial phloxes, lifted before the
ground freezes solid and planted in a cold
greenhouse, will yield a fine crop of*
strong cuttings before they are obtaina-
ble outdoors. This is the best method to
increase stock of desirable sorts. The
cuttings need treating like chrysanthe-
mums and few will fail to root if care-
fully watered. Pot off into 3-inch pots
and gradually harden so that you cai\
plant out about the middle of April. The
trusses produced on these young plants
will be much superior to those on the
older and larger clumps and the plants
will be excellent for fall sales.

Clematis paniculata is one of the
finest, hardiest and most popular of
climbers. The present is a good time to
collect a quantity of seeds and sow under
a coldframe sash or in flats. Use a com-
post of loam, leaf -mold and sand. Give a
soaking of water and never mind if the
soil freezes solid for the winter. The lit-
tle seedlings will not germinate until next
summer; so do not become impatient
about their germination nor try to hurry
them by starting in a greenhouse, for
they will not start any earlier for forcing,
possibly not at all. Prick oflP the seed-
lings in nursery rows when you can han-
dle them nicely. In two years the plants
will be strong and fit to sell to your cus-
tomers.

NEW FORESTER AT AMES.

At a recent meeting of the board of
trustees of the Iowa State College, C. A.

Scott, of the United States Forest Serv-
ice, was elected to the chair of forestry
to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tion of Professor H. P. Baker, who ac-
cepted a position at the Pennsylvania
State College. Mr. Scott is a graduate
of the Kansas State Agricultural Col-
lege and a student of the Yale College
of Forestry. Mr. Scott has been con-
tinuously in the employment of the For-
est Service since graduation and during
this period of seven years has gradually
advanced through all stages of the work
from that of student assistant to forest
supervisor, which position he resigned to
accept the chair of forestry at the Iowa
State College.

STOCK WANTED.

Will you kindly give me the names of
any nurserymen in the United States
who propagate cuttings of shrubs ready
for lining out; or, if there are none in
the United States, will you give me the
names of two or three of the reliable
firms in the old country? I want about
10,000 small stock for lining out in our
nursery to grow on.

COBYDON G. DWIGHT.

INSPECTION IN OHIO.

W. E. Evans, acting chief inspector
of orchards and nurseries in Ohio, Janu-
ary 3 filed with Governor Harris the an-
nual report of that department. Be-
cause of the several changes in the head
of the department, it being vacant at
the present time, the work has been in-
terrupted through the year. Nineteen
certificates of private orchard inspec-
tion were issued during the year;
591 inspections were made. In nursery
inspection, 5,113 acres of nursery stock
were examined and 1,195 trees ordered
destroyed; 3,000 trees were fumigated.
It is stated that the law is lame in not
providing for the treatment of trees ad-
joining infested nurseries.

TREES FROM CUTTINGS.

In collecting the material for cuttings
of deciduous trees and shrubs now, it
will save much time that can be more
profitably employed in some other work
in the spring if the cuttings are all
made the proper length as the work of
collecting goes on. Eight inches is a
fair average for cuttings of most hard-
wooded things.

As the cuttings are prepared they
should be tied up in bundles of con-
venient size and then buried in sand or
soil in a cool shed or cellar, or even
outdoors. When disposed of outdoors
they will require more covering than
would be necessary indoors.

Evergreen cuttings should not be
placed in a house where the tempera-
ture is usually so low that vegetation
is hindered rather than promoted. Of
course, it is much better if the tempera-
ture in the house is cool at first, and a
little bottom heat available, so that the
cuttings will receive the necessary mois-
ture to sustain their foliage and to pro-
mote root action at the same time.

Shapely specimens of all kinds of
choice evergreens are in constant de-
mand, and many more would be planted
than there are if they could be within
a reasonable distance of the locality
where they are wanted. It pays to
grow a number of evergreens of the
kinds most in demand. There need be
no fear of selling them and at a good
profit. M,

AMERICAN APPLE EXPORTS.

W. A. Taylor, pomologist in the U. S.
A. Department of Agriculture, states, in
reference to the American apple exports,
that "the general outlook for sustained
and increased foreign demand for our
fruits continues good, although adverse
tariff rates and inspection requirements
in certain countries, notably Germany
and France, operate to retard normal
development to some extent." It is in-

teresting to note that for the twenty-
year period from 1887 to 1907 the ex-
ports of fruit to Europe have increased
approximately 540 per cent. On the
other hand, the imports have increased
only eighty per cent. Mr. Taylor points
out, however, that large losses in our ex-
ports are sustained every year by faulty
packing. In some consignments as high
as forty per cent of the barrels are re-
corded as slack or very slack. This
means a serious diminution in selling
price. It appears that the United States
furnishes about two-thirds of the apples
shipped to European markets from this
side, and Canada one-third.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The cut flower trade remains about the
same as usual. Funeral work is brisk,
calling for large quantities of flowers.
There is a good supply of carnations.
The prices are fairly good; 60 cents to
75 cents per dozen is the general price
asked. Boses bring from $1.50 to $2 per
dozen retail. Violets are almost a drug
on the market just now. There is not
much demand for these flowers at pres-
ent; $1.50 per hundred retail is the price.
Paper Whites are now coming in regu-
larly. These sell for 50 cents per dozen
retail. A few tulips and narcissi are to
be seen. These fetch 50 cents per dozen
retail.

William P. Pierce had an attractive
window display last week. Mr. Pierce
is growing violets that would be hard to
beat.

H. A. Jahn is selling his flowers of
the new carnation Lloyd to almost all of
the city retailers. Last week in two
days' cutting he picked over 800 blooms.
At the Park Street flower market in
Boston his flowers are eagerly sought
for.

A few sweet peas are now seen on the
market. These sell at $1 per hundred
retail. Growers are now getting ready
for Memorial day. Some of them are
planting their seeds of ten weeks' stock.
We are having mild weather. W. L.

Butler, Pa. — Anton Krut says that
his Christmas business was equal to that
of former years. Prices were not so
high, but there were more sales, with
the result that his stock was cleaned
out.

CLEVELAND.

The Market

Trade the last week has been quiet
and, with the increase in the cut of all
kinds of stock, quantities had to be sold
far below market prices. Roses have
held up in price better than other stock,
bringing from 5 cents to 15 cents. Car-
nations, which are usually in short sup-
ply'at this time of the year, have been
going slowly.

Tulips, Romans, Paper Whites and
valley are being sent in freely, but there
is no heavy demand for anything in this
line. Violets have also gone down with
the slump, there being practically no
demand for them.

Various Notes.

The F. R. Williams Co. is sending
in some fine pansies and long sweet
peas.

Geo. W. Mercer has erected a fine new
retail store on West Twenty-fifth street,
near Clark avenue, and reports having
had a fine trade for the holidays. The
walls are of white enamel, with light
green frescoing, which makes a beauti-
ful appearance.

Lars Anderson has been sending in a
fine cut of Rose-pink Enchantress. His
Enchantress are also fine.

F. W. GriflSn has had some very at-
tractive windows of late, showing novel-
ties in small potted plants, of which
he handles large quantities.

J. M. Gasser has been seriously ill in
a sanitarium at Flint, Mich., where he
has been spending the winter, and his
family was called, as the worst was
feared. Mr. Gasser has suffered from
heart trouble for some time.

Visitors: B. Eschner, of M. Rice &
Co.; Martin Reukauf, of Bayersdorfer

Des Moines, Ia. — J. T. D. Fulmer is
seriously ill with pneumonia, but his
speedy recovery is hoped for.

Petersburg, Va. — A. W. W. Bryan is
building an addition, 30x40 feet, which
will be used for bedding stock in the
coming spring. With this addition Mr,
Bryan will have about 3,500 square feet
of glass.

Green Bat, Wis. — Charles De Clerc
is building about 10,000 feet of glass on
the property just north of the Fort
Howard cemetery and will be ready for
the spring trade. A downtown office
and salesroom has been opened in the
Hoffman building, on North Adams
street.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market

Trade has kept up remarkably well
since the holidays. Everything has been
going on at a lively rate. There has
also been a great deal of funeral work
the last ten days.

American Beauties are more plentiful,
the supply being equal to the demand,
and prices are more reasonable. Azaleas
are plentiful and move slowly at half
the former price. Carnations have not
been very plentiful, and good prices
were obtained up to January 11, when
large advertisements appeared in the
papers, from two department stores, of-
fering carnations at 2 cents, or 24 cents
a dozen. Such advertisements by these
department stores are a ruination to the
market. When home growers ought to
get a return for their hard labor, these
stores spoil the profits and it is only
done as an advertisement to get the peo-
ple into the store. These carnations are
shipped in from Chicago.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Lamb, manager of Geo. M. Kel-
logg's wholesale store, reports business
as being very good. They are receiving
large shipments from Pleasant Hill
greenhouses,, of violets, American Beau-
ties, fBrides and Bridesmaids, and the
demand is good for them. They also
sold a large lot of cyclamen, of which
they had a fine display in their large
window.

Geo. M. Kellogg, who has been sick,
is now able to be about his business
again.

James Payne, on Twenty-eighth and
Main streets, is the owner of a freak
calla. There are two perfect blooms on
one stem. Mr. Payne says he has been
in business for forty years, but never
saw the like before. He is so proud of
it that he will not sell it at any price.
Mr. Payne is a good grower and, judging
from the way he is starting out the first
of the year, he will do double the busi-
ness this year. We wish him success.

W. H, Humfeld is in very poor health.
He has not been able to attend to any
business since January 1. He talks of
selling out and retiring from the florists '
business.

K, Von Bourgondien, of Hillegom, Hol-
land, was a visitor last week.

W. H. H.

London, Ont. — E. Whiting is erecting
three greenhouses 30x50 at Smith and
Trafalgar streets.

We find the Eeview a great help in
both our flower and vegetable depart-
ments.— S. H. Mabis, McMinnville, Ore.

Strong Rooted Cottings, Now Ready for Delivery

11/1 NCkOD ^^^ proved to be the finest carnation in the lirht pink class. We sold a large quantity of it last year, but there will be

WW mi^'i^^^w*, a much larger sale for it this year. At the Engrllsh Carnation Show held in December, it was the winner in the light

pink class. It is doing well everywhere, and will supplant everything in that color.

WHITP PNPH ANTDFQQ ^i" occupy the same position among whitecarnations that Enchantress does among
'*■■■ ■ *- ■-i^v»B«**l'^ ■ mm.K^'^^ Qg^ix pinks. It has all the good qualities of the common Enchantress— long stem,
earlinesB, large size, freedom, etc. In our opinion, it is by far the best white carnation ever introduced.

We have a splendid stock of both Winsor and White Enchantress ready for immediate delivery, and will guarantee perfect satisfaction
with the cuttings supplied. Do not wait, because tbe demand for these varieties is bound to be enormous. Order early, ^Mrhlle ^^9 can
promise Immediate delivery, and secure gilt-edged stock. We have a large stock o( both of these varieties, and all our cuttings are heel
cuttings, taken from flowering stems. On account of the quantity that we are growing, we are not obliged to over-propagate, and our stock is

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Jamdabt 16, 1908.

BUFFALO.

The Market*

Business since the holidays has been
very unsteady. Parties and funeral work
have produced the only steady call for
flowers. Aside from this, trade has been
very quiet. Plenty of stock is to be
had, excepting the bulb stock, which is
still very scarce. Carnations are plenti-
ful, but mostly of poor quality.

Various Notes.

A short visit to Corfu found all the
firms looking in good shape. Sweet peas
and carnations are the main product and
in a few days all will have a large cut
for the Buffalo market.

The Buffalo Cut Flower Co., the new
wholesale house, reports business to be
good. The firm is handling some fine
carnations and is well pleased with re-
sults.

Dutch bulb agents are arriving daily,
thicker and thicker as the time goes on.
Some do not even wait till you are able
to see how their stock is to pan out, be-
fore they ask for the next year's order.
Fortunately, we are able to see them
coming, by their square-cut coat and
small mustache.

As an attraction for a window dis-
play, W. J. Palmer & Son have secured
a cage of prize-winning cats from the
cat show. The idea was a good one and
kept a crowd before the window the
whole day. R. A. S.

I don't know of any paper that could
take the place of the Beview. — Abra-
ham Wynne, Stamford, Conn.

Cliftondale, Mass. — Wm. Sim, whose
specialties are violets, sweet peas and
tomatoes, says he is the largest grower
of violets in America.

Enclosed please find check for $1, to

florists' papers published — the Weekly
Floeists' Review. — S. J. Trepess, Glen
Cove, N. Y.

Onabga, III. — The Mosbsek Green-
house Co. reports that it is highly satis-
fied with the results from its advertis-
ing, and the numerous inquiries received
for bedding plants lead the firm to be-
lieve that either the season is starting
unusually early or there is a shortage of
good stock.

Newton Highlands, Mass. — Patrick
J. Melia says that business in this local-
ity is very good, notwithstanding the so-
called hard times. One thing particu-
larly in favor of the florists is, that the
weather has been mild and sunny this
winter, which means a saving in the coal
bill. Mr. Melia 's Lawson carnations are
unusually fine this season.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

Jakuart 16, 1908.

DETROIT.

The Market

The general business report for the
first half of January is good. In most
instances it is ahead of the same period
in 1907.

Roses and carnations clean up nicely,
carnations at from $2 to $4 per hun-
dred. Some exceptionally fine La De-
troit and White Enchantress being han-
dled by the Michigan Cut Flower Ex-
change are in big demand.

Violets have not been moving very
readily since the holidays. The price
has dropped down to $1 and $1.50 per
hundred.

Bulbous stock, consisting mainly of
tulips, daffodils and Roman hyacinths,
is a glut.

Several large decorations have created
an unusually heavy demand for southern
smilaz.

Various Notes.

J. F. Sullivan was laid up with the
grippe for over a week. Mr. Sullivan's
housekeeper, who has been with the
family for a number of years, died of
pneumonia last week.

B. Schroeter had several decorations
for the B. & M. I. U., which was hold-
ing a convention in Detroit.

JIugo Schroeter has been out of com-
mission several weeks, owing to sick-
ness. While he has been suffering from
a severe cold himself, his wife has been
laid up with the grippe. H. S. <

The Weekly Florists' Review.

JAnuaby 16, 1V08.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

■ The Livingston Seed Co. has special
sales on plants. These take well. At the
time of my visit the firm had a fine lot of
primroses and cyclamens, which undoubt-
edly would have gone off quickly had not
old Boreas been getting in his best licks

on that day. ■

Underwood Bros, have had excellent
success with the Enchantress carnation
and its varieties, planted in the bench
and from pots. This settles the question
with them; no more planting outdoors.

Carl A, Knopf, of the Franklin Park
Floral Co., spent his vacation reorganiz-
ing the establishment, making important
changes and many improvements. He
says business never looked more prom-
ising.

Gus Drobisch, of the Cottage Rose Gar-
dens, says that while he does not ship to
so far distant points as formerly, home
trade is very satisfactory.

J. R. Hellenthal has built a handsome
oflBce, facing the street. In addition to
being very ornamental, it makes the plant
complete.

Mrs. Charles will retire from business
after the spring season, having sold the
property for building purposes. She has
held the fort in the north end for many
years and has done well. Mr. Charles in-
tends taking up landscaping and has a
job pn hand that will take fully one year
to lay out.

Miss Fanny Evans has succeeded to the
business founded almost half a century
back by Maurice Evans. As she retains
the services of the clever grower, contin-
ued success is certain. W.

Parkersburg, W. Va. — J. W. Dudley
& Sons say that trade was not quite up
to the standard in Christmas greens,
chiefly on account of the shortage in
holly. Business in other lines was about
the same as in 1906.

Salt Lake City, Utah. — H. F. F.
Thorup, of the Southeastern Nursery &
Floral Co., says that business during the
holidays was very good, in spite of the
money panic. The weather was fine. The
death rate has been high of late, creat-
ing a harvest for the florist. Flowers are
less plentiful than formerly and bring a
fair price.

DAG ATA

Id DAGATA yie have what is conceded, and that without successful contradiction, to be
the highest deyelopment of the Geranium at the present time, the premier of M. Bruant's
many magrniflcent introductions, which are recognized as the standard in their different
classes the world over. The color is a beautiful shade of mauve rose, with large white
blotches at the base of each upper petal; flowers are freely produced in enormous trusses;
the habit is perfect, dwarf, robust and branching. SSo each; $2.00 per dos.; $15.00
per 100.

FACTS ABOUT RADIATION.

In the Review of December 26, 1907,
F. M. L. inquires the number of ieet of
radiation that certain sizes of pipe will
supply. F. E. gives him a table of fig-
ures which seems to have been prepared
with much care, but which in actual
practice is misleading, since it is im-
possible to state correctly what amount
of radiation a given size of pipe will
properly take care of without also giv-
ing the length of this pipe from the
boiler or other ample supply to the point
of connection with the coil or radiator.
A flow or riser of any certain size, run-
ning the length of a 70-foot house, for
instance, will not supply the same num-
ber of feet of radiation that the same
size of pipe would supply if it passed
through only a 30-foot or 40-foot house
before connecting with the coil or radia-
tor. The principal reason for this is '
the friction that must be overcome in
the long pipe, as well as the radiation
of heat from itself. Hence any table of
figures that can be given on this point
will mislead, unless the length of the
supply pipe is also taken into account.

Another point that must be consid-
ered is the size of pipe that is being used
as radiators. For instance, 500 feet of
radiation made up of 4-inch pipe will not
require so large a supply pipe as would
be necessary for the same number of feet
of radiation made up with l^^-inch or
2-inch pipe. Since the small pipes cool
so much faster and the friction is greater
than in the large pipes, the circulation
must be faster and the supply pipe
larger. E. G. Milford.

ONE HOUSE WITH PARTITION.

Please advise me about piping a house,
20x70 feet, for hot water. The house
is even-span and runs north and south.
It has 12-foot rafters and 4 14 -foot posts,
with two feet of glass in the sides. It
is double boarded and papered below.
The boiler-house is at the north end. The
south gable is of glass to within two
feet and a half of the ground, the same
^as in the sides. The house is exposed
on- all sides. It is divided by a parti-
tion, making a 16-foot compartment, next
to the boiler-room, in which a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees is desired, while the
remainder of the house will be run at 50
degrees. The minimum outside tempera-
ture-in this part of New York state is

25 degrees below zero. I contemplate
using a sectional boiler, rated for 900
square feet, and wish the plant to be
cheaply installed and to be economical
of fuel.

This is my plan for the east half of
the large south room: I would run a
L'-inch flow from the boiler to the far
end of the house, along the east purlin,
and drop below the benches to the end
of a manifold of four 1%-inch pipes
under the east middle bench, connected
by a 2-inch pipe to a manifold of five
1^-inch pipes under the east side bench.
At the other end of the benches, also,
the coils would be connected by 2-inch
l)ipe between the manifolds, with a valve
to cut out the middle coil. From the
outside end of the east manifold there
would be a 2-inch return to the boiler-
house, where a line of 3-inch pipe would
take up all the returns and carry them
to the boiler. This would complete the
piping in the east half of the large room,
and the west half of this room would be
piped in the same way, making eighteen
runs of 114 -inch pipe and two runs of
2-inch pipe in the larger compartment.

In the smaller room there will be two
raised side benches and two solid beds.
I have enough 1%-inch pipe on hand and
would like to use it for this if possible,
laying four coils of six 1^4 -inch pipes
each, one under each outside bench and

one at each side of the middle walk,
using one pipe of each coil as a flow,
which would be supplied by a line of
2-inch pipe carried from the boiler
across the end of the house near the
ground, the returns to be collected by
the line of 3-inch pipe across the house,
already referred to.

The expansion tank can be placed tei
feet above the top of the boiler. Eigh;
valves are to be used, six on the flow>
and two on the two middle coils in th.-
larger section. Do you think this ar-
rangement will be satisfactory? If not
what changes would you suggest '
Should the returns have the same capa
city as the flows, or greater?

eighteen. The small room can be heated
with twenty li/4-inch pipes, while you
have provided twenty-four, good faults
in both cases. The only criticism I have
is that it is not wise to attempt to feed
one manifold from another or to return
one through another. I would suggest
that you divide each 2-inch flow at the
purlin and carry an independent branch
to each manifold, and at the other end
carry an independent return from each
manifold to the main return. Follow
this plan as far as possible in the small
room. Push the expansion tank up ten
or fifteen feet more, even if you have to
carry it on a platform above the roof of
the boiler-shed. Your system has only
about 550 square feet of radiation, so a
boiler rated for 900 or 1,000 square feet
should do the work with satisfaction.

VAYSIDE NOTES.

Schmidt & Gorkel have succeeded E. H.
Fries in business at Fort Thomas, Ky.,
and will continue on the same lines. John
Fries has a good stock for spring and
keeps his market stand well supplied.

W. A. Heifer, of Akron, O., has greatly
improved the front of his place by the
addition of a store and office. Now he.
does not know why he did without this
convenience so long.

Salmon & Son, of Akron, finding that
the cut flower branch of their business
demands their whole attention, have
dropped the landscape department, which,
though extensive, was not sufficient to
be run alone.

Chas. Lindacher, of Canton, O., was
busy putting in the first batch of chrysan-
themum cuttings. He says it does not
pay to grow carnations on city lots when
choice grades can be bought for l^A
cents so soon after the holidays.

The Brown Floral Co., of Canton, now
has about 50,000 feet of glass, all up to
date, and are shipping much stock to
near-by towns. I saw Mrs. Brown make
up and pack a three-link floral piece in
less than thirty minutes, on a rush phone
order. It was a handsome piece, cleverly
executed.

Eeisch & Barber, of Beloit, O., re-
port a good season. They are satisfied,
also, with returns from the branch re-
cently opened at Alliance.

I have seen the quotation somewhere,
' * The desert shall blossom like the rose. ' '
Possibly this meant Texas, for John
Good, of the Good & Reese Co., Spring-
field, O., told me the firm has one cus-
tomer in the Lone Star state who alone
takes 40,000 rose plants each year and
distributes them through agents, and this
is only one. It would be interesting to
know the number of rose plants alone
that are distributed in Texas annually.
And they thrive, for bushes eight feet
high and six feet through are frequently
met with down there. W.

Danville, Ky. — S. M. Harbison's
Christmas trade was fifteen per cent bet-

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

For a Reception Table.

The accompanying illustration shows
an arrangement by Charles Henry Fox,
at the Sign of the Eose, Philadelphia,
for a reception or tea where the guests
stand or are seated about the room.
It consists of a high vase of one variety
of long-stemmed flowers, and around it
a wreath loosely arranged, with four
comer-pieces loosely tied with a ribbon
to match. This style of decoration gives
abundant opportunity for displaying
taste. In this case the flowers were

One of my customers brings me some
leaves from her rubber plant and wants
to know why the edges, and finally the
whole leaf, turn brown as shown in the
samples enclosed herewith; and she
wants to know what to do for the plant.
Can you give me the information?

H. P.

The ficus leaves enclosed with this
query have all the appearance of having
been frozen, and it seems probable that
the plant has been standing too near a
window during severe weather, or has
been otherwise exposed to a draft of
cold air. Occasionally one finds the
leaves of a ficus browning around the

edges from having too much water dur-
ing the period of rest, but a case of the
latter kind shows a rather different in-
jury from that shown by the leaves in
question, and a few minutes' exposure
to a sufficiently low temperature would
be enough to spoil the plant in the man-
ner indicated. W. H. Taplin.

COLORS.

There is nothing more difficult than
defining the colors of various flowers,
says a writer in a paper read by florists
in England. If we could only get some
registered guide it would be a great
help; but then, all the catalogue descrip-
tions would be wrong. I remember some
years ago a west end florist in London
telling me that when he had to match
a lady's dress or ribbons he always asked
for a sample; otherwise it would be im-
possible to be anywhere near the colors
wanted. We know what a white should
be, yet even here there are various
shades. Yellows are not so difficult; but
come to pinks we are in a sad fog. Com-
pare a rose-pink chrysanthemum with a
proper rose-pink rose, and they are as
different as possible, the chrysanthemum
described as a rose-pink being a purple-
pink. Take what is described in cata-
logues as a scarlet stock, and compare it
with a scarlet geranium and there is a
wide difference, and it is much the same
with other colors.

With a view to getting some more defi-
nite ideas regarding proper definitions of
the different colors, I once went to the
warehouse of a firm who are large im-
porters of French dress materials, and
after being shown the color chart, and
having some conversation with one of
the managers, I was in a greater muddle
than ever, for I found that none of the
colors in dress materials corresponded
with those of flowers as they are usually
described. It is the pinks, crimsons,
purples and reds that are the most per-
plexing. 'Then if we take mauve, laven-
der and heliotrope, can anyone define the
difference between these and lilac t To
be correct, there is no doubt a differ-
ence; yet as described in catalogues,
they are much mixed up. And I find
after going through an American color
chart that almost all the descriptions
found in any catalogue of florists' flowers
would have to be altered. The National
Chrysanthemum Society's floral commit-
tee defines the colors of the varieties sub-
mitted to them and they are registered;
yet there are few who would agree that
they are right.

THE EAGLES.

The illustration on pages 4 and 5
show two methods of treating a design
which often is called for. The Fraternal
Order of Eagles is national in its extent,
and its membership is large. The result is
that retaih florists everywhere are asked
times without number to make an ap-
propriate design for the funeral of some
member of the organization.

One of these illustrations shows the
bird of freedom as it is conceived to be
in Maine; the other is a prairie eagle,
from Illinois. It is evident that the
artist in Maine gets the conception of
the bird's poise, not from that new-
fangled notion, the clearing-house certifi-
cate, but from the good old dollar of
our daddies, several of which formerly

changed bands on the transaction. But
the Illinoisan is an impressionist and
does not seek a model, but puts up a
good, fat figure without much regard
to form. In each case galax leaves are
used for a background, one being bor-
dered with smilax and the other left
wholly unadorned. Asters were used in
Maine and white carnations on the prai-
rie.

One of these designs is the work of

of Augusta, Me., and the design has

member. The other design is by Claude

ed the business as a boy in knickerbock-
ers and does a prosperous trade.

FLORICULTURAL EDUCATION.

Travel and Observation*

, I have just read with much interest
Mr. Kempton's inquiry, " Floricultural
Education," of January 16, and, as I am
trying to learn the florists' trade also,
perhaps my reply may be of interest
to him and others.

He asks, "Where can a young man
learn the trade?" I would say, by
doing as our employers have done; trav-
el from one place to another; get differ-

ize that the more the employee knows
the more intelligence he shows in his
work?

I see no reason why a young man
of today cannot become as good, if not
a better, florist than those of the past.

J. E. M.

Agricultural G>IIeges.

It seems to me that there are two
possible solutions to the inquiry of
Thomas A. Kempton, on page 5 of the
issue of January 16 of the Eeview.
One solution is to become an apprentice
to some leader in the line of work
chosen. To thoroughly learn the "tricks
of the trade" from this leader the ap-
prentice may have to pay what might
be called a "tuition." When such is
done it can be demanded that the master
instruct the apprentice in the arts of
the trade. Where one simply hires him-
self to the master, only such things
may be learned as the employee may
pick up from observation, the employ-
er not necessarily being under any ob-
ligations to teach any of the ' ' secrets ' '
of the craft or trade. Such education as
this w^ill undoubtedly make a one-sided
man. Emphasis has been placed en-
tirely on the ' ' how "of doing any par-
ticular piece of work. The apprentice
in such cases has little chance of rising
above the standard of the master.

But to become one of the future lead-

The Eaglein Maine.

ent men's ideas, methods, etc. I am
afraid that he will be unable to find a
place where he can learn the trade
"from seed sowing to hybridizing,"
for the florists are going more into spec-
ialties.

I note that he mentions that florists
do not wish to bother with learners. I
would say that I have always found
my employers as willing to teach me
their business as I was to learn it,
and why shouldn't they, when they real-

ers in horticultural work there is, and
will be, a much stronger struggle for
existence than has been the case in the
past. This brings me to the second
solution I have to offer to Mr. Kempton's
question. The agricultural colleges of the
country are yearly turning out hundreds
of young men and women who have been
given solid and thorough training in the
"why" of doing the various phases of
work incidental to all of the multitudi-
nous lines of soil cultivation. These

young men have a broad, solid founda-
tion for their future work. It is true
that the education which some of these
men receive is purely "book learning"
and they are only partially equipped
for the struggle for existence. The
practical end of their work, the money
making end, has to be learned after they
get out of school. But in the better
schools of agriculture of today, equal
emphasis is placed on the practical side
of all work. The students are taught
how to do a certain piece of work and
then why it is done in that particular
manner. The purpose is to develop the
mind as well as the hand. It is a com-
bination of the purely practical and the
theoretical, and makes a broader man, a
man better equipped for his work, than
when emphasis is placed only on one side
of the training.

As for a college education costing
lots of money — 'it is true that it does
cost money. But the total amount of
a four-year course in college need not
scare any one off. Each year there
pass under my observation hundreds
of young men who are working their
way through school. Some of these
young men work for every cent they
get from the first day they leave home
till the day they graduate; others may
get some assistance from their parents
or friends. But it is a usual and ex-
pected thing for many students in col-
lege to work their way through. And
it is a good thing for the student in agri-
cultural schools especially, as there is
always a demand for help on the farms
or gardens, and the students get addi-
tional practical experience in their train-
ing and are just that much better equip-
ped in the end.

I am sorry that there are not more
schools giving instruction in floriculture,
but to my knowledge only two agri-
cultural colleges make any special at-
tempt at it, namely, the universities of
Illinois and Massachusetts; while a num-
ber of others give a good course in gen-
eral horticulture which equips one for
taking up floriculture after leaving
school. This lack of instruction in flori-
culture is because there has been only
a small demand for work of this sort.
But for any young man who is desirous
of following commercial floriculture, I
would strongly urge him to lay a good
foundation. This can be done by tak-
ing a full course in some good agricul-
tural college, laying especial emphasis
on the horticultural end of the work.
Much practical work will be obtained
while doing this, and the theoretical
obtained will better enable him to quick-
ly grasp the reasons for doing other
practical things which can be learned
only by experience. It is the practical
end of the training that makes the money,
but one with a good foundation can more
quickly acquire and understand these
practical phases than one trained in
the practical work only.

During the next generation there will
be a greater demand for these college-
trained practitioners than there has been
in the past. It was not many years
ago that no one thought of going to
college to learn to do practical work.
But each year sees a change of sentiment
and there is an increasing demand for
college-trained men, and most of these
college men are outstripping their prac-
tical brothers in the same lines of work.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

USE OF MIXED POLLEN.

There has been a wide divergence of
opinion among botanists and hybridizers
as to whether, bj using mixed pollen, the
influence of more than one of the pollen
parents will be transmitted to. the re-
sultant seedlings. Some botanists claim
that it is all but impossible to fertilize
with double pollen, but a short article in
the December number of the English
Orchid Review would seem to upset this
idea. The paragraph, i|hich I will quote
in full, 'is as follows:

"A year ago we recorded an experi-
ment made in the collection of R. G.
Thwaites, Esq., of Streatham, by cross-
ing Laelia xanthina with mixed pollen
from Cattleya Warscewiczii and C.
Dowiana aurea, and how one of the seed-
lings flowered as Laelio-cattleya Phryne,
a hybrid from the first mentioned cat-
tleya. Another which subsequently
bloomed was believed to be Laelio-cat-
tleya Ophir, a hybrid from C. Dowiana
aurea. We have recently seen the batch
of seedlings, some of which show clearly
the Warscewiczii and others the Dowiana
habit, and one which was in flower was
clearly a richly colored form of Ophir,
having deep yellow sepals and petals and
traces of the rich Dowiana color and
markings in the top. It is now clear
that both hybrids have appeared out of
the same cross and we hope to be able
to report further next year when other
seedlings bloom."

Mr. Thwaites is one of the best known
of English orchid specialists and an en-
thusiastic hybridist. The result of his
cross is most interesting. It settles one
point on which differences of opinion ex-
isted. The other point on which we
need further light is, can the character-
istics of two pollen parents be trans-
mitted to one seedling? It will be in-
teresting to learn whether any of Mr.
Thwaites' seedlings develop in this way
and thus settle what has been a knotty
problem. W. N. Ceaiq.

BENCHES OVER.CEMENT FLOORS.

Will plants on benches over cement
floors do as well as the ones over earth
floors! M. E.

There is no reason whatever why plants
will not grow as well in benches
over cement floors as over earth or cin-
ders, such as are usually found in com-
mercial establishments. From the stand-
point of neatness, the cement floors have
an advantage, the only trouble being
that they do not hold the moisture as
well as those made of cinders or stone,
and it is necessary to damp them more
frequently. I would certainly not advise
any florist to put in cement floors unless
it might be in some show house attached
to the store or salesroom. C. W.

FIBROTTA PLANT TUBS.

Cordley & Hayes, New York, who make
Fibrotta ware, as the indurated fiber re-
ceptacles are known in the trade, say
that many florists have adopted tubs
made of indurated fiber as the most ac-
ceptable for large plants. The great
strength and durability of this material
make it especially suitable for this
service, as it is absolutely water-proof
and of handsome appearance.

Wooden tubs are all right for a time,
but as soon as moisture from the soil
penetrates the coating of paint decay be-
gins, and there is no way of stopping it.
The metal hoops, too, are a source of

weakness, from their liability to rust
and break, allowing the tub to fall apart.
As regards earthenware, a blow or fall
is enough to break it, which not only
involves the loss of the pot, but not in-
frequently injures or destroys the plant
as well. Nearly all jobbers handle
Fibrotta ware and report it coming into
more general use as its qualities become
better understood.

POOR COLOR IN VIOLETS.

I bought some Princess of Wales violet
plants from a florist this spring. The
plants grew nicely and are blooming well,
but the color of my flowers is very light
compared with the original stock. What
is the cause of the difference in the
shade of the flowers! Can I work any
fertilizer, etc., in the soil and get dark-
er shaded flowers? W. C. P.

If you had stated the night tempera-
ture given your single violets, it would
have been easier to answer your query.
If you are keeping them at 45 to 50 de-
grees at night, they are too warm and
will come a much paler color than in a
house held at 40 to 42 degrees. Have you
ever noticed the magnificent color' of
singles grown in cold frames, where they

never get any fire-heat at all? The cool-
er they can be grown, the deeper will
be the color. They may open more
slowly, but if you want dark color you
must grow them cool.

Too early planting causes an excess
of leaf growth and the flowers come pale
in color also. We think it probable,
however, that too high a temperature is
the main trouble with your flowers. If
so, lower the night readings to 40 to 42
degrees, letting the thermometer run
up 10 to 15 degrees on bright days.
Adding fertilizer will hardly improve the
color of the flowers, unless they are
kept cool. Some soot-water aids in col-
oring both leaves and flowers. If the
benches are well filled with roots, mulch
them with some fine, well rotted cow
manure or pulverized sheep manure. This
will help to keep the roots cool and
moist and give necessary feeding at the
same time. C. W.

VIOLETS UNSATISFACTORY.

I enclose some violet buds. The stems
look dried out and the buds go to seed.
I keep them at from 38 to 40 degrees at
night and 50 to 60 degrees during the
day. I have kept them on the dry side
since last fall. They bloom poorly and
the leaves have not grown much since
last fall. They stay short and small.
My soil is loose. It does not pack solid.
I have a good deal of manure in it. What
kind of soil would you advise me to use
for next fall? Would new soil out of
new timber land be suitable? F.J.

The leaves and flower stems enclosed
were certainly puny and if these are an
average sample of what your plants are
producing, conditions must be radically
wrong. You do not state what variety
you are growing. It hardly seems pos-

sible that the variety is Princess of
Wales. Are you quite sure that you are
not growing some small and inferior va-
riety! Your night temperature should
be all right and the rise in the daytime
is not excessive, with sun heat. It is a
great mistake to keep your plants on
the dry side. Violets, like pansies, want
to be cool and moist at the root, and if
you have good drainage, my advice would
be to soak your beds or benches thor-
oughly, making sure the water has
reached the bottoms of the roots. Choose
a sunny day for watering and do it early
in the day, so that the foliage may dry
before nightfall. Violets want a light,
sunny house, a compost of three parts
loam and one part rotted cow manure.

well mixed, and must never be allowed
to become dry at the root. Some grow-
ers use even more manure than I have
suggested, but you can provide extra
food when needed in the form of top
dressings or liquid manure. C. W.

THE METAL TIE.

At the Philadelphia convention of the
S. A. F; a young man sat on a table
diligently wiring a plant to a stake.
He was using an invention for which he
had applied for a patent. He called it
Carpenter's Eapid Tie and he had a
circular on which was reproduced a let-
ter from A. N. Pierson, Cromwell,
Conn., dated June 22, in which Mr. Pier-

son said, "I believe your device to be
a labor saver and feel enough satisfied
with it to give you an order for 100,000
as a trial." Carpenter & Co., Cohoes,
N. Y., who were making the exhibit at
Philadelphia, say they have had a large
business as a result of their display. The
tie is simply a narrow strip of flat cop-
per, looped in the center where it natu-
rally clasps the stake. It is soft and
easily bends around the plant and will
neither rust nor cut into the plant.
While thousands %upon thousands were
used by chrysanthemum growers and
poinsettia growers, the approaching bulb
season gives Carpenter & Co. their busi-
est time, for millions will be used on
these plants.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Night Temperature.

From a letter recently received, there
appears to be some difference of opin-
ion regarding the graduation from day
to night temperature.

Some growers advise keeping the day
temperature at 60 to 65 degrees on bright
days, reducing it to 58 or 60 degrees at
dark, then gradually allowing it to fall
to the proper night temperature for each
variety by midnight and keeping it there
until the outside temperature begins to
rise, which will be about 8 or 9 a. m.
Others reduce to the proper night tem-
perature soon after dark and try to
keep it there until after daylight, while
there are those who allow the mercury to
drop several degrees below regular night
temperature after 4 a. m.

In changing from day to night tem-
perature we are striving to imitate na-
ture by adhering to the principle that
light and temperature go hand in hand,
and I imagine the plan of gradually re-
ducing the temperature until midnight
is an attempt to follow nature more
closely. To say this method is the ideal
one, would be making a very broad state-
ment; still, one would not be justified
in declaring it altogether wrong, as there
is a certain element of merit in it, for
one of the fundamental principles of
carnation culture is to avoid sudden fluc-
tuations in temperature, especially a de-
scending one. But, with all this, it is
doubtful if such mode of procedure
would-be practical from a commercial
standpoint.

A small addition to details often in-
volves an additional expense wholly out
of proportion to the advantage gained,
and the small grower might well hesitate
to increase his personal cares, for with
him a night fireman is out of the ques-
tion. My experience is that by proper

manipulation of the ventilators and
heating apparatus, we can bring about
the desired change in temperature by
dark, without in the least injuring the
plants or lowering the quality of bloom.

Taking, for example, a bright day in
January, when the sun sets between 4:30
and 5 p. m., the ventilators will need
lowering more or less, according to out-
side temperature, from 2:30 to 4 p. m.,
at which time all would, under ordinary
circumstances, be tightly closed. Mean-
while the heating apparatus should have
been gotten in condition to respond when
called upon, as the sun's influence les-
sens rapidly as its rays begin to leave the
glass. Increase the inside heat as the
outside temperature falls, but instead of
maintaining the regular day temperature,
allow it to fall gradually from 4 to 6
p. m., when the regular night tempera-
ture is reached.

Growers who claim to allow a drop
of several degrees after 4 p. m. may be
unwilling to admit that such a circum-
stance is beyond their control. I should
be pleased to learn of any benefits to
be derived from such a practice.

CARNATION NOTES.- WEST.

Splittinsrand Wilting.

During the last few days we have had
the most trying weather of the season on
the carnation calyxes. After consider-
able cloudy weather we had some mild,
bright days, followed again by several
cloudy days and so on, changing back
and forth every few days. TWs has
caused the blooms to develop in spurts
and much complaint is heard about split-
ting of calyxes. If you are having trou-
ble, do not blame the night man ; he can-
not help it. You will find that in most
cases the variable weather is at the bot-
tom of the trouble.

The worst of it is that you can do but
little to prevent the bursting. If you
have been feeding strong and pushing
your plants to the utmost, you will have
much more trouble than if you have been
growing them moderately. The same
may be said in regard to the plants wilt-
ing. Plants that are soft from having
been overfed will wilt so they will lie
down on the wires, and spraying must
be resorted to to keep them up. A light
spraying overhead before noon will help
them considerably, but make it light and
be sure the plants are dry by night. In
a few days they should hold up well.

In such weather it will pay you to cut
the blooms quite close on most varieties.
A stem which supports a bloom two-
thirds developed, if it wilts down, will
never straighten up as it should. The
weight of the bloom will hold it down.
If you are propagating now, take cut-
tings from the plants only in the morn-
ing while such weather prevails. The
cuttings are nice and fresh then and will
hold up better in the sand.

The Washington Convention.

I hope you intend to be in attendance
at the carnation convention at Washing-
ton, D. C, next week. From all accounts
it ought to be a hummer. Every grower
of carnations, whether on a large or
smaU scale, ought to make an effort to
attend and encourage this society in its
good work. Do not harbor the idea that
these meetings benefit only the carnation
specialists and breeders. Of course they
are the greatest beneficiaries, but every
man who grows any carnations at all is
benefited by the work this society is do-
ing. If it were not for these meetings,
etc., the society would not be doing this
work, and the least you can do is to en-
courage it by being a member, even if
you cannot be a very active one. If you
are not a member, I feel sure that you

are not very enthusiastic over your car-
nations. Enthusiasm is what causes men
to accomplish things and it is enthusiasm
about the carnation that this society
keeps up. So get in line and become an
enthusiast, and before you know it you
will be casting about for better varieties
and improving your methods of culture
and, in fact, you will be taking new
interest in your carnations.

NINETEEN SPORTS.

This number of sports in one season,
of a single variety and at one estab-
lishment, seems to us to be remarkable
enough to be worthy of being chronicled.
However, this is the number of varia-
tions from the original Enchantress that
we have noted among our 4,000 plants
of that variety, and they are almost as
varied as numerous. We have pure white,
shell pink, rose pink, variegated,
blotched, and splashed specimens. Three
of them are particularly worthy of note
— the pure white, a large splashed one
and a shell pink. Of these three, all of
which we consider quite distinct and
worth multiplying by propagation, the
shell pink one is especially attractive.
It is of a delicate, soft tint, without a
suggestion of the salmon tinge which at
times gives Enchantress a rather faded
appearance, and in this instance the
whole plant appears to be a sport.
Three blossoms have appeared and they
have all had the same attractive color.
We intend to take particular care of this
plant, which is a small one. We will
propagate what cuttings we can from it
this season, and if the variation proves
to be fixed it will certainly be heard from
as soon as we can get up a stock of it.

VARIETIES IN SAME HOUSE.

Could I successfully grow Enchantress,
Queen Louise, Lady Bountiful and Wm.
Scott in the same house? If so, would
it make any difference which would be at
the cool end? If the above varieties
would not go together, please name white
and pink varieties to grow with Enchant-
ress. K. E. G.

You can grow the varieties you men-
tion successfully in one house. Plant
Enchantress in the cool end and Queen
Louise in the warm end. Queen Louise
and Wm. Scott are not considered up-to-
date varieties any more up this way.
In your warmer North Carolina climate,
however, they may do better than some
of our best sorts. If Enchantress does
well for you, its white sport, called White
Enchantress, ought to do as well. White
Perfection ought to do well for you, too.
The Eose-pink Enchantress might come
washy most of your season, but Aristo-
crat has a good color in warm weather
and should do well for you. A. F. J. B.

BOTTOM HEAT FOR CUTTINGS.

Can carnation cuttings be successfully
rooted without the aid of bottom heat?
If so, I should like to learn how it can
be done. F. H. B.

Bottom heat is not absolutely nec-
essary for rooting carnation cuttings, but
with slight bottom heat they will root
in a shorter period of time. This is
quite important to those who propagate
large quantities, and if the bottom heat
is not too strong it is not harmful to
the cuttings. Ten degrees warmer than
the top temperature is not too high for
the bottom, but we do not want more.

It is not the heat that draws the

roots out, but the striking out of roots
is a natural function on the part of
the plant. Root formation and root
growth, like top growth, are more rapid
in a warm temperature than they are
in a cool temperature. The carnation,
being a cool-loving plant, will bear but
little forcing beyond its natural tem-
perature and therefore should be kept
cool. By keeping the top cool and the
bottom slightly warmer, the cutting it-
self is held stationary and in good con-
dition, while the root formation is en-
couraged or hastened. A. F. J. B.

STIGMONOSE ON WOLCOTT.

I am mailing a sample plant of the
Wolcott carnation, and should like to
know the cause of the spotting of the
leaves, and the remedy. I have just a
few that are affected this way. I also
find now and then one of the Enchant-
ress so affected. What would you sug-
gest doing? C. A. S.

The specimen of Wolcott you sent
is badly affected with stigmonose, and
if your plants are all as bad as this
one I would advise you to discard the
whole batch. There are a number of
white varieties on the market at pres-
ent which are far better than Wolcott
ever was, so why not stock up with up-to-
date varieties? However, if you prefer
to keep on growing Wolcott, propagate
only from plants which do not show any
of those light^ spots. By keeping this
cutting selecting up for several years,
you can work the disease out of your
stock. You must give your plants care-
ful attention and sane culture, however,
along with it. Especially keep down all
insects, as these are supposed to be the
cause of the introduction of the trouble
in the first place. A. F. J, B.

MUMS WITH WEAK STEMS.

Will you let us know how late in the
season we can run a mum house without
firing? What night temperature is best
during October and November? Our
mums have been somewhat weak-stemmed,
possibly from too high temperature. But
if the night temperature is low, will it
not affect the keeping quality of cut
flowers in a living room temperature
or the temperature that cut flowers are
subject tot F. D. S.

It depends on the season as to how
late one can run a chrysanthemum house
without heat. If the night temperature
is 40 to 50 degrees, it is all right,
though it is better to have a crack of
heat, so as to maintain this temperature
with air on, than it is to shut the house
np tight and get a damp, close atmos-
phere. By giving all the air possible,
day and night, F. D. S. will do away
with a good deal of trouble from weak

stems. The chrysanthemum loves air
and lots of it at all stages of its growth,
and neglect or ignorance of this is re-
sponsible for much of the wretched stock
one sees in the wholesale markets.

We generally, in this part of New
Jersey, get frost in the last week of
September and give heat at that time,
though after a few nights the weather
picks up again and one can sometimes
run through October with no heat to
speak of. The heat is given not so much
to keep the temperature high as it is to
keep a current of dry air moving through
the house, so that the flowers will not
damp. A high night temperature makes
the flowers soft and a low temperature
makes them stiff. In other words, flow-
ers grown in a low temperature will keep
longer after they are cut, because a low
temperature is natural to the chrysanthe-
mum at flowering time, and the nearer
a grower keeps to nature the better suc-
cess will he have. Charles H. Totty.

MUMS ON OPEN GROUND.

I have a large, level piece of ground,
adjoining my greenhouses, on which I
wish to grow a large number of mums,
two to a stem, for Thanksgiving day,
in the following manner: First I would
set up posts to support the woodwork
for the hotbed sashes; then I would plant
the mums in the ground and grow them
the same as indoors, only without glass,
putting on the hotbed sashes at the ap-
proach of the first frost and removing
them and piling them away for the
winter after the mums are all cut.

How high should this house be to
suit such mums as Dean, Baer and
Jones? Should these mums be planted
right in the flat ground, or, if planted
in beds enclosed by boards set on edge,
how wide should the boards be? The
sashes are 3x7, and thirty-two in num-
ber. How should this house be heated,
using hot water? The house would run
north and south and would be twenty

feet from the present house, where the
boiler is located. The boiler is capable
of heating another house 20x100.

Will mums produce bread and butter
blooms under these conditions? When
should they be planted? Are there any
other cultural notes you could add?

J. M. J.

While blooms grown as J. M. J. pro-
poses will not be of exhibition grade,
still fair flowers can be produced in
the manner described. If the piece of
ground referred to is well drained, I
would plant right in the soil and not
bother to make beds, but if the soil is
naturally low and wet, raised beds would
be necessary. Set a 10-inch board on
edge, supporting it by short posts and
filling with six inches of soil to make
the bed. The paths between the beds
will serve as drains in wet weather, but,
as stated before, if the soil is a sandy
loam no bed is necessary.

The house should be not less than five
feet and a half high, and more if
J. M. J. is a tall man, since when one

is building it is just as easy to build
a frar^awork under which one can work
in comfort as it is to build a squatty
affair which causes a man to use profane
language every time he goes into it.
The varieties mentioned, Dean, Baer and
Jones, do not go over four to five feet
at the outside. There are some other
kinds, such as Chadwick, Yellow Chad-
wick, Mrs. Geo. Beech and Mrs. Swin-
burne, which would need more head room,
possibly, but which would turn in J. M.
J. considerably more money from the
same amount of space, as would also
Jennie Rosette and M. Hankey.„

Planting should be done in^une, if
possible, so that the young stock will
have a good chance to get growing early
enough in the season.

As to the amount of heat needed, I am
no expert on heating, but a 2-inch pipe
all around the house should 'be ample
to keep out the frost and that is all
that J. M. J. would require for plants
grown under such conditions.

SUGGESTIONS

Herbaceous Gdceolarias.

The blooming time for herbaceous
calceolarias is April and May. They
make quite rapid growth now and it is
time to transfer them to their flowering
pots. For compost use fibrous loam,
dried and screened cow manure and
sand. If the loam is a little heavy, none
the worse. Some finely broken charcoal
and a little soot are also desirable soil
constituents. Better not use chemicals
in the soil; they can be utilized later in
the form of surface dressings. Grow
the calceolarias cool; 42 to 45 degrees
at night is quite warm enough. They
will revel in a low night temperature
and be less a prey to green aphis than in
a house kept 5 degrees warmer. Press
the soil moderately firmly in the pots at
the final shift. We find the plants ap-
preciate an occasional light spraying
overhead, and like plenty of fresh air.

SfflUax.

Probably your first crop of smilax
strings will now be all cut. See that
strings are run up in ample time for the
second lot, before they can become en-
tangled. Also give the beds or benches
a mulching of good cow manure. Keep
the plants on the dry side for a week or
two after the first crop is cut. When
you start them up, soak thoroughly.
Never use white twine for smilax or
Asparagus plumosus. The green article
comes somewhat higher, but should al-
ways be used.

Primulas.

J[f good flowering plants are wanted
for Christmas trade, it is always well to
grow a batch of primroses. They can be
easily grown and at a moderate cost,
usually selling well if in good shape.
The Chinese primroses make the best
holiday plants, especially the lighter
shades. Extra good sorts are Crimson

King and Chiswick Red, but there is
sure to bo a call for the white and pink
colors also, the blue varieties not taking
so well.

Seed can now be sown of any of the
primulas wanted for winter bloom. The
soil should be largely leaf-mold, with a
little loam, some fine sand and charcoal
added. To kill weed •'eeds and insect
life, it is better to sterilize the compost
for all choice seeds. This is easily done
where steam is used. Use well drained
pans or flats for sowing the seeds in.
Put some coarse compost over the drain-
age, filling the balance with that which
has been finely screened. Water the
surface, using a can with a fine rose,
after making the surface perfectly level.
Then scatter the seeds over it, dust a
little sandy compost over them, place in
a warm, moist house and keep covered
with paper until the seeds germinate.

Primula obconica can be treated sim-
ilarly to P. Sinensis. There are now
some fine colors of this primrose. Its
persistent flowering qualities should com-
mend it to all florists who grow pot
plants.

Seeds of these primroses may be sCwn
until the end of March and produce nice
plants, but if really strong stock is
wanted the seed must be gotten in as
soon as possible. Do not, on any con-
sideration, purchase cheap seed. The
l>est will be found the cheapest in the
end. Avoid cheap mixtures. Rather get
a packet each of the best selling colors,
which can be obtained separately from
all reliable seedsmen.

Plants for Easter.

It f-eems rather a long cry until Eas-
ter, it being still almost three months
away, but it is now necessary to pay a
good deal of attention to plants you may
want in bloom at that time. Rambler
roses must be started right away, or they

will not be in season. Do not tie th(>
canes straight up, but wind them round
and round three or four stakes evenly
spaced round the edges of the pots.
Start rather cool; 45 to 48 degrees at
night will suffice. Spray freely in bright
weather and give them the fullest sun-
shine. Hydrangeas do not cut much
of a figure as Easter plants. Any wanted
by April 19 should now have shoots sev-
eral inches long. Keep them well wa-
tered and feed liberally where they are
potbouud. It is much too early to start
genistas. Acacia paradoxa and Azalea
Indica.

Spiraea Japonica is one of the most
useful of Easter plants. By allowing
twelve weeks for the newer varieties,
such as astilboides, grandiflora and
Gladstone, and ten weeks for the ordi-
nary S. Japonica, they will come in sea-
son all right. Start in a brisk heat.
Grow them somewhat cooler after they
have made a few inches of growth. Rho-
dodendrons, lilacs, metrosideros, deutzias,
prunus and other shrubs for forcing
must not be started for some weeks yet.
Keep cool; a little frost will not harm
them.

If your longiflorum lilies are six to
eight inches high and in a night tem-
perature of 50 degrees, they . will come
along in good season. Get rid of any
sickly and diseased plants and do not
let green aphis secure any foothold.
Weekly fumigations will keep it in check.
Sprayings with diluted tobacco extracts
are also quite effective, as they kill any
insects they hit.

Blue Cornflowers.

Centaurea Cyanus, commonly known as
the blue cornflower, is seen a good deal
in the markets from January until July.
Sometimes, owing to erratic treatment,
plants of this class are a failure inside,
but grown in benches at the cold end of
a carnation house, they are very fine and
furnish a tremendous quantity of flowers
for bunching from even a small space.

Sweet Peas.

Weather so far during 1907-8 has
hardly seemed like winter at all. We
have heard of courageous cultivators who
have planted their sweet pea seeds out-
doors this month, anticipating from this
sowing decidedly better results than
would be the case if sown two or three
months later. Sweet peas under glass,
when flowering, like a temperature of
50 to 55 degrees at night, with 5 degrees
rise in the sun. While such varieties as
Christmas Pink and Mount Blanc are
necessities for indoor culture in winter,
any sorts may be sown now, and as the
flowering season will have stronger sun-
shine than we now enjoy, all will do
well.

Stocks and Asters.

Stocks and asters are both grown to
some extent under glass, the former more
than the latter. Stocks are useful for
Memorial day trade and are also in re-
quest at other seasons. They improve in
quality in spring very much. They
make a useful winter crop to follow
chrvsantheraums or carnations, which
may have died of stem-rot.

Asters are less met with as flowers
grown under glass, but will pay for any
indoor treatment accorded them. Make
a sowing of seed now, pot off the seed-
lings when they have made their second
leaves and grow them in a carnation
house temperature. Any florist who ha?

a good call for funeral designs and wants
some asters before they are obtainable
outdoors, should try a bench of them.
The flowers come of finer quality than
those grown outside, are always clean,
liever troubled by the aster beetle, and
Ti.re entirely free from summer droughts,
wl^ich are often disastrous for asters in
the open. Those wishing to experiment
on the asters under glass should try
Queen of the Earlies, Giant Comet and
Victoria. The Comet aster is a decided
break from the rather stiff and formal
asters. The petals are arranged more
loosely, curling up at the tips and re-
minding one of Japanese chrysanthe-
mums.

Brief Reminders.

Watch the little geraniums closely.
Be sure not to overwater them in the
small pots until they are well rooted.
Continue to spread out your plants in
the benches and give them all possible
space.

Start cannas where a large stock of
each kind is needed. For spring bloom-
ing, cannas in pots make pretty floral
pictures.

Continue to propagate any soft-wooded

bedding stock you are short of. Do not
root any Salvia splendens until March,
or the plants will all be much too large.

Shake out a batch of fancy-leaved
caladiums and start in small pots in a
warm, moist house. One kept at 65 de-
grees at night will be suitable. Be care-
ful not to overwater until growth is well
advanced.

Pinch the tops out of the show pelar-
goniums, unless you are anxious to have
very early flowers.

Start up any hybrid roses, still dor-
mant, which you may want for Easter.

Pot or box off any rooted cuttings in
the' propagating benches before they be-
come hard.

Keep Spanish iris in a cool house. It
resents hard forcing. Do not let the
night temperature exceed 50 degrees.

Mulch any outdoor plants hitherto
omitted. Alternate freezing and thaw-
ing is very bad for the majority of
plants.

Plan to attend the Washington carna-
tion convention if possible. It promises
to be the largest ever held and the ex-
hibits will surpass anything of the kind
ever seen before at a convention.

POTTING YOUNG STOCK.

As soon as the cuttings are ready, and
that is when the roots are from half an
inch to three-quarters of an inch in
length, they should be potted. As the
sand or other propagating medium con-
tains no nutriment, it is obvious that
the young stock will have to subsist on
water alone, if they are left in the
bench after root formation is complete.
Any growth they maj' make under these
conditions must of necessity be of a
weak and inferior character.

Good rose soil with little manure in it
and passed through a half-inch screen is
just what they like.

For tea roses 2-inch standard pots are
large enough. These should be thorough-
ly clean, especially on the inside. No
drainage is necessary.

Care should be taken not to pot too
deeply, three-fourths of an inch being
deep enough to steady the young plant.

Reject all poor and sickly looking
plants, as these require more care and
attention than the more robust, and sel-
dom give satisfaction, even if they seem
to recover. The space can be utilized
more pr(»ftlkiiibly than nursing weak stock.

Before setting the plants on the bench
it is a good plan to see that the soil is
thoroughly moistened. This caonot be
accomplished by one application of water,

and particularly so if new pots are used.
It frequently requires from three to five
applications to moisten the soil without
getting it into a muddy state, a condi-
tion which should always be avoided.

Those who have no regular stock house
should select some nice airy position in
a house with a night temperature of 56
degrees to 58 degrees. Spread some sifted
coal ashes on the bench to the depth of
an inch or so. This makes good, clean
drainage and prevents worms from work-
ing up into the pots. Set the pots close
together and shade lightly for a few
days until root action commences.

During bright weather they will re-
quire watering and syringing twice a day
and should at all times have an abun-
dance of fresh air. Ribes.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

Carnation and Breeders' Rate.

Through some misunderstanding, the
New England Passenger Association in-
structed its agents to issue certificates
for the Breeders' Association meeting,
to be held in Washington, D". C, Janu-
ary 28 to 30, in conjunction with this
society, but failed to add that certificates
should be issued to either the Breeders'
or the Carnation Society, as both are
to be counted as one meeting. This has
been changed and covers the whole of the
New England Association except the
Eastern Steamship Co. Certificates will
be issued for the Carnation Society in
this territory the same as in previous
years.

If you can not get a certificate for
the Carnation Society, and the agent has
instructions to issue for the Breeders'
meeting, buy your ticket for that meet-
ing. It will be honored in Washington
and you can then get the reduced fare
to return home.

We want everybody interested in ear-
nations to come to this meeting, and if
possible bring along an exhibit. You
will be getting into good company, both
in the exhibition hall and the meeting-
room.

Rates to Washington.

The Central Passenger Association
having refused the special rate, thus cut-
ting out the states of Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan and Illinois, members from
these states will do well to buy to Pitts-
burg and from there buy to Washing-
ton on the certificate plan, or get spe-
cial rates for parties of ten to Washing-
ton.

The special rate of one fare and a
third can be had from the following
states: Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, excepting the north-
west corner north and west of Pitts-
burg and west of Franklin, Oil City and
Warren ; New York, except the territory
west of Salamanca and Buffalo; Con-
necticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. In
all of these states agents will issue cer-
tificates with their tickets if asked for,
making the rate one and one-third fare.

Special Premiumt.

In addition to the premiums offered
in the premium list, the Berry & WJhit-
more Co. offers a silver cup for the best
fifty blooms of light pink. Enchantress
shade, either novelty or standard sort,
but separate from other exhibits.

The Weekly Rorists' Review.

JANUAKY 23, 1908.

W. J. Vonderheide offers a fine silver
cup for 100 blooms of the best carnation
to be disseminated for 1908. This ex-
hibit must also be separate from all
others, excepting that it can enter for
certificate of merit.

In considersCtion of the lateness in of-
fering these prizes, they can be entered
for at the meetipg in Washington with-
out extra charge. Anyone not a member
of the society • and not acquainted with
its rules and regulations can, by joining
at the meeting, make entries for the show
free of charge. Members who have neg-
lected to send in their entries or have
additions to make can make them at the
meeting by paying $1 for each entry
made. Everything possible will be done
to make the work of exhibitors easy and
expeditious. We have a fine lot of en-
tries now and want more for the above
prizes and any other of the numerous
ones bffered in the premium list.

RUFFLED GLADIOLL

At Kendallville, Ind., A. E. Kunderd
has for years been breeding and selecting
gladioli with a view to the development
and fixing of the type of flower illus-
trated in the accompanying reproductions
from photographs, in which it will be
seen that the petals are ruffled, unlike
any gladiolus heretofore known. Mr.

Kunderd believes that he is* well under
way to the development of the most mag-
nificent type of this flower, as these two
varieties are now well established in
character, and he has others in which the
development is even more marked, but
which are not yet established to his sat-
isfaction.

The illustration in which the section of
spike is shown is of a variety creamy
in color, with a blush tint overspread,
and has a fine feather or flame of red
in the center on the three lower petals.
The plant is strong and it is said that
flowers over five inches in diameter have
been produced. The ruffling is even
more apparent in the natural flower than
it is in the photographic reproduction.
The flutings are up to five-eighths of an
inch deep.

The picture showing the two spikes is
of a variety smaller in size but a fine
"white in color, with a little more pink
tint than in the flower previously de-
scribed. There is a similar feather on
the lower petals and the ruffling is more
pronounced. The arrangement of the
upper petals gives the flower much the
appearance of the azalea flower. Mr.
Kunderd says it increases less rapidly
thaw th« former variety, which makes
from fifty to 100 cormels. A bulb of
the first described variety was sent last
spring to Luther Burbank and was re-
turned in November with J.42 cormels.

Mr. Kunderd also is at work on some
other types. One is a flower that he de-
scribes as saucer-shaped, the petals being
all of about the same proportions and
opening so that the tube is short. He is
hybridizing to put the ruffle on this form
of flower. He also has a type in which
the flowers are well distributed around
the stem, with blooms as upright as tube-
roses, and with long tubes. In this form
all six petals are exactly alike. This
class comes in light colors, some being
solid colors and others having all the
petals blotched. Other sorts on which
Mr. Kunderd is at work provide still
other interesting variations.

LILY BULBS IN THE U. S.

A. E. Ktmdenl'$ Ruffled Gladioli.

Work of the Department of Agriculture.

As a preface to a bulletin by George
W. Oliver, just issued to record the
work of Bureau of Plant Industry, Dr.
B. T. Galloway says:

* ' The Easter lily is of great import-
ance to florists, its bulbs being largely
imported from Bermuda and Japan.
The imported bulbs, however, are not
satisfactory, and if the industry of
forcing these plants so that they will
be in flower at Eastej is to be continued
it will be necessary to produce the bulbs
in this country. The -problem of produc-
ing these bulbs in the United States has
been studied for some years by members
of the staff of this Bureau, and the ac-
companying paper summarizes the in-
formation on the subject to date. Mr.
Oliver has shown that healthy bulbs can
be readily and profitably produced in
this country and that disease-resistant
strains can easily be maintained. ' '

Disease in Imported Bulbs.

At the present time Bermuda is the
main source of supply of Easter lily
bulbs for the United States. The mild win-
ter climate of the island is. very favorable
to the growth of these lilies in the open
air, but the area of arable land is lim-
ited and many of the farms are so small
that alternation of crops is not prac-
ticed with lilies, onions and potatoes,
which are the staple crops.

As a result of these conditions and
the fact that careful selection is not
practiced, the vigor of the lily bulbs
produced is lessened and weak plants
are produced from them. As a conse-
quence the plants grown from Bermuda
bulbs in greenhouses in the United
States are in a very unsatisfactory con-
dition. In many cases from fifty to
seventy-five per cent of the plants are
diseased to such an extent as to be
practically unsalable; in fact, they
are so seriously affected that many
florists would willingly give up their
cultivation altogether were it not that
their patrons demand the lily in its
season. The problem how and where
to produce the bulbs within our own
borders therefore confronts those who
would continue in this industry. That
this problem will be solved soon there
is little doubt. It is not likely that
American growers will be able to harvest
the bulbs and place them on the market
as early as the Bermuda crop, but judg-
ing from present appearances their
efforts will result in supplying bulbs
practically free from disease.

It is said that about 3,000,000 bulbs
are annually imported from Bermuda
and that about 20,000 salable bulbs,
ranging in size from three to five inches
in circumference, can be grown on an

it

acre of ground from mother bulbs
planted the preceding year. The second
year's crop of bulbs of that size, whether
from seedlings or from bulbs, should
therefore bring from $1,000 to $2,000 an
acre. ^

Lily Bulbs in the United States.

Diiring the past decade many attempts
have been made by seed firms and others,
including the Division of Botany of the
Department of Agriculture, to grow the
Easter lily commercially in the Caro-
Unas, Florida and other states. These
efforts were useful in pointing out places
where it was evidently impossible to
produce bulbs cultivated after the man-
ner now pursued in the Bermudas and
Japan.

Both large and small imported bulbs
were planted at various places and re-
ceived the best of care, but in every
case the crop when harvested did not
warrant a continuation of the experi-
ments. All of these failures resulted
partly from unsuitable soils, but prin-
cipally from unfavorable climatic con-
ditions. It is reasonable to suppose that
the lily disease so prevalent in imported
bulbs played its part in making the ex-
perimental work a failure.

Trials in California.

The experimental work now being con-
ducted on the Pacific coast promises suc-
cessful results, but even in that region,
favored as it is with nearly ideal con-
ditions in the matter of soil and climate,
good results can not be expected by fol-
lowing the old methods of asexual propa-
gation practiced in the Bermudas. This
has been shown repeatedly in connection
•with several large lots of selected im-
ported bulbs planted out in widely dif-
ferent localities for seeding purposes.
These plants show the usual amount of
disease on the foliage, while the appar-
ently healthy plants propagated by divi-
sion and by scales also show the disease
to such an extent that it seems a difficult
matter to get rid of the trouble by
purely vegetable methods of reproduc-
tion from selected bulbs.

Effort to Grow Seedlin^^s.

A few years ago Dr. Albert F. Woods,
of the Bureau of Plant Industry, in his
investigations of the lily disease discov-
ered that seedling plants were practic-
ally free from the disease. About the
same time E. M. Byrnes, then connected
with the Office of Public Buildings and
Grounds, but now with the Bureau of
Plant Industry, found that the progeny
of crossed varieties were more vigorous
than either parent.

At the instigation of Dr. B. T. Gal-
loway the writer grew a large number
of seedlings in the Department green-
houses, and from these several pounds
of seed resulted. This was distributed
on the Paci6c coast and in Florida. The
«eedlings grown in California showed
conclusively that with liberal treatment
first-class bulbs can be grown by this
method much more quickly than by asex-
ual propagation. The plants are al-
most free from disease. A few plants
show it here and there in first generation
seedlings, but in the second and third
generations it is difficult to find an af-
fected plant. These results have been
80 encouraging to practical men on the
coast that several are now engaged in
getting up a stock of seedlings upon a
large scale.

Suitable Localities for Bulb Growing.

Although enough has not been done
in an experimental way to ascertain all
of the localities where lilies can be
grown successfully, it may be stated
that the lily seedlings have shown great
vigor where the winter temperature does
not fall below 24 degrees. Below that
point the plants get a cheek to their
growth and the foliage pubjMittn an un-
desirable yellowish tinge, w^tdl remains
during the winter.

In Florida, seed sent to persons who
undertook experimental work has not
given good results. The northern and
central parts of the state occasionally
get much too cold to insure strong win-
ter growth. In the southern part where
seed has been sent the reports of those
who were experimenting are not very
favorable. However, most of those who
grew the seedlings were absent during
the summer, in which season the grow-
ing plants need very close attention. It
is possible, therefore, that the failures
may be charged to want of attention
at critical periods.

At Miami, Fla., the temperature is
neither too hot in summer nor too cold
in winter for growing bulbs. During
the period from September, 1895, to De

cember, 1903, the temperature fell be-
low the freezing point on only two occa-
sions, the lowest being 29 degrees.
Under such circumstances the bulbs will
do well provided they receive the neces-
_sary attention.

At Key West, Fla., the conditions are
ideal, closely approaching those at Ber-
muda, the extreme range of temperature
in thirty-three years being from 41 de-
grees to 100 degrees, and the extreme
range of precipitation 21.1 to 58.4
inches. On the large keys near the
southeastern coast of Florida the seed-
lings do remarkably well, but the cli-
matic and other conditions during the
growing season are such as to practically
prohibit good cultivators from locating
there.

In the northwestern part of the State
of Washington the seedlings do not
stand the winter without protection.
However, bulbs planted deeply in the
fall make fine roots and develop w6ll the
following year, making excellent bnlbs
late in the season, but much too late for

and the winter temperature is not too
low, the seedlings thrive well. At
Loomis, a few miles northeast of Sacra-
mento, the soil and climate are well
adapted to their needs. Some areas in
that vicinity are nearly frostless, and
the lilies come into flower as early as
anywhere in the state, with the possible
exception of the foothills near Los An-
geles. So far, none of the seedlings
have been grown at Loomis, but judg-
ing from the growth made by mature
bulbs sent for seeding purposes and
comparing it with that made in other
sections the advantage lies with the^
Loomis locality. Very little disease was
apparent in the foliage, and the flowers
were open several days in advance of
those from bulbs planted at the same
period in the valleys of the southern
part of the state.

At several places south of San Fran-
cisco BClected for experimental work, it
was impossible to secure the carrying
on of the work necessary for the rais-
ing of bulbs from seed. The seed would
germinate well, but when it came to
planting out the seedlings in spring the
farmers and florists could not be brought
to believe that it was possible in twelve
months' time to raise a flowering plant
from a seedling not more than two
inches high. One firm had 70,000 seed-
iings in fine condition two years ago,
but not one was put out in the field.
Fortunately, however, a few capable
men were found who carried out the in-
structions of the Department, but even
then another diflBculty was encountered,
for wlien the lilies came in flower twelve
months after planting the seedlings the
price offered by retail florists for the
blooms was a temptation which few
could resist. One florist cleared $250 in
the spring of 1907 for flowers from

measured nearly eleven inches in cir-
cumference, while a bulb three years
from seed measured fourteen and one-
half inches in circumference when har-
vested, grown at Santa Ana, Cal., by
Edgar A. Metcalf. The bulbs secured
from these sources force well, and be-
ing almost free from disease the loss on
this account is small.

At Ventura, Cal., the conditions are
extremely favorable for the production
of strong, healthy growth, but the bulb
mite put an end to the experiment in
that section the second year. It should
be mentioned, however, that the soil in
which the bulbs were planted had been
used for calla lilies for several years.

At Longbeach, Cal., the growth made
by the seedlings before planting out was
very favorable, and probably a little
distance from the shore in good soils
the lilies would thrive well. At Yuma,
Ariz., the growth made from mature
bulbs planted for seeding promises well,
and it is probable that the bulbs can
be grown there to mature quite as early
as those from the Bermudas.

In the extreme southern part of Texas
the possibility of producing good bulbs
would seem very encouraging, but the
facilities for testing have been anything
but satisfactory. The farmers are men
who grow crops on a large scale as a
rule and a few hundred Ulies are apt
to receive but scant attention at critical
periods, especially when staple crops are
being attended to.

At Brownsville, Tex., one can see in
the old Spanish gardens very healthy
longiflorums in bloom during the first
half of April. The growth is very
strong and absolutely free from even a
trace of disease. January 15, 1907, some
bulbs of the Harrisii variety planted

Bulbt of Lilium Harrisii x L. Loneiflorum Grown from Seed witliin Ten Months.

seedlings on a space 25x45 feet, and

this was only for the flowers he did not

want for seed. The removal of flowers

and stems, of course, results in bulbs

, of an inferior grade.

. ' .ThQse florists who have grown the

'. seedlings for the bulbs alone are more

than pleased with the results. This has

been done in the vicinity of Santa Ana,

where the soil and climatic conditions

are evidently very favorable. Many of

the bulbs harvested were of the 7 to 9

inch grade. Some two-year-old bulbs

near Brownsville had made a strong
growth, averaging seven inches in height.
These bloomed about the end of March
and seeded fairly well.

Unfortunately, the temperature in the
southeastern part of Texas is not very
favorable, judging from the records sup-
plied by the Weather Bureau. Some
years the crop will turn out satisfac-
torily, but there always exists a danger
of low temperatures, on account of
which it would be unsafe to attempt cul-
tivation on a large scale.

Best Varieties to Grow. • .

During the past three seasons in Cali-
fornia the best success has been with
seedlings which were obtained by cross-
ing the red-stemmed Lilium longiflorum
giganteum with Lilium longiflorum Har-
risii. The progeny is remarkably strong
and in some localities totally free from
disease. In the open fields they come
into flower about a week later than the
true Harrisii. These seedling lilies of
the parentage mentioned are composed
of four distinct types: Long-leafed
and short-leafed green-stemmed plants,
and long-leafed and short-leafed red-
stemmed plants. All show a remark-
able freedom of bloom. Fred Eafferty,
of Santa Ana, Cal., bloomed a large
number of them in the spring of 1907.
Although the seedlings were only about
three inches high when planted out in
June, 1906, some of them had'^ twenty-
eight flowers to a single stem in June,
1907. Two years ago at Ventura, S.
Cole had some two-year-old seedlings
of the same cross, one of which had
thirty-five flowers to a stalk.

On the farm of the Santa Ana Easter
Lily Co. during May, 1907, hundreds of
plants had twenty or more flowers to a
stem.

The only well-known variety which
has been tried by the Department in
California and Arizona is the Harrisii
variety from bulbs imported from Ber-
muda in 1906. These bulbs were
planted in order to produce seed after
being artificially pollinated. All of the
stock grown turned out to be more or
less diseased and most of the plants,
although grown from good-sized bulbs,
produced very poor flowers and a very
low yield of seeds. A small lot of this
variety grown from seed has turned out
fairly well, but by this method of in-
crease there are several distinct types,
showing that it can not be depended
upon to produce plants true to the orig-
inal type. It would seem, however, that
many reliable growers in the east think
there does not exist the same necessity
for the Harrisii variety as an early
forcer as there was a few years ago
when cold storage bulbs were compara-
tively unknown for early forcing. If
this is true, then there is but little need
for haste in getting the Harrisii variety
into the American market, when in real-
ity the bulbs should still be ripening in
the fields. If the greenhouse men could
use only the cold-storage supply for the
production of flowers during the early
part of the year, the fresh bulbs' would
then get an opportunity to ripen thor-
oughly before being taken from the
ground. It would seem advisable to
grow types from seed alone and propa-
gate these for one or two seasons asexu-
ally, but only from bulbs and not by
the scale method, using seeds instead of
scales to increase the supply of bulbs.
But when we have types which come
absolutely true from seed there will be
little likelihood of a necessity arising
for saving even the smaller bulbs for
replanting.

Advantages of Seedlings*

The seedling method of propagation
not only has its advantages in so far as
the elimination of disease is concerned,
but it is also a much quicker method
than propagation from scales or even
from small bulbs. The seedlings one
year after planting very often show as
many as twenty flowers to the stalk.
During the past season (1907), as al-

ready stated, Fred Eaflferty, of Santa
Ana, Cal., bad seedlings with twenty-
eight flowers. Such plants can be de-
pended on to give bulbs of 8alal:>Ie size
the first year. Comparatively few of
the 9 to 11 inch size are produced. The
usual sizes are from 5 to 7 inches, but
a considerable percentage of the 7 to 9
inch size is found in lots which have
received good attention. The crop is
ready for harvesting by the beginning
of August. The smaller bulbs when re-
planted soon after being harvested
grow much better than imported mate-
rial.

LOUIS P. FAULK.

West View, Pa., is the home of Louis
P. Faulk, who is well known as a grower
of bedding plants for the spring trade
in Pittsburg, Allegheny and vicinity. He
is a grower of more than thirty years'
experience, for his first venture in the
greenhouse business was in 1876. As a
boy he had learned the painting trade
and in 1889 he returned to it for eleven
years, but in 1900 he went back to grow-
ing pot plants and has made this his spe-
cialty for the last seven seasons.

Mr, Faulk has tried out about every-
thing that has come to his attention in
the bedding plant line. His trade calls
for the best and he has been constantly
on the lookout for improvements on the
standard varieties, having found that his
trade will willingly pay for an article a
little better than the ordinary. In the
course of Mr. Faulk's work he has taken
up some varieties of our ordinary bed-
ding plants which not every grower has
been able to do as successfully as he, and
he also has raised several novelties on
his own place. He has a new lantana
which he calls Violet King, from its
peculiar color, which he says is the
greatest thing in lantanas he ever has
seen and which he intends to disseminate
in the trade. Another of his novelties
is Petunia American Favorite, and he
has a pure white moonvine which he
raised from a seedling and named Mid-
night Beauty. Among coleuses he has a
new one named Banner of Japan, and
Blue Jay is the name given to a new
heliotrope which he thinks will be wel-
comed by the trade. He has quite a
number of other new sorts of verbena,
heliotrope and coleus undergoing test.

Geraniums are, of course, his principal
item. After trying practically every-
thing in geraniums he has selected the
following as the baker's dozen of best
sorts: Madam Buchner, Jean de la
Bret, Mrs. E. G. Hill, Mme. Jaulin,
Castries, Kleber, Jean Viaud, Beaute
Poitevine, Marvel, S. A. Nutt, Beauty,
A. Ricard and H. L. Hartman, the latter
a deep rose-pink variety which he says
is unsurpassed by any other sort except
Alphonse Ricard, to which it is a close
second.

TROUBLE WITH CYCLAMENS.

I have a batch of cyclamens that was
received a month ago in good condi-
tion. From 2 V^ -inch pots I potted them
into fours, not having anything smaller.
They have not done well. The leaves
curl up, turn brown at the edges, wilt
and drop off. I have not kept them over-
wet. I potted them into new pots, hav-
ing soaked the pots first. I used good,
fresh loam, mixed with some fine rotted
manure. The temperature at night has
been about 50 degrees, 55 to 60 degrees

Louis P. Faulk.

in cloudy weather, 5 degrees higher in
sunshine. Does it damage them to have
the bulb covered? J. & B.

The shift from 2V^-inch to 4-inch
pots was about right, provided the cy-
clamens were nicely rooted in the smaller
pots. It was a mistake to cover the
corms or bulbs; these should always be
above ground. The temperatures given
were all right and the chief trouble un-
doubtedly lay in too deep potting. 1
would recommend repotting them into
3^-inch or 4-inch pots. Use a compost
of fibrous loam, old cow manure and
sharp sand. If your loam is naturally
heavy, a little leaf-mold will be bene-
ficial. In potting let the soil come to
the base of the corm. Stand your plants
on a shelf or bench,* well up to the
light. They require no shade for some
time. Water carefully and if the plants
are not irretrievably injured, you should
soon note an improvement. C. W.

PROPAGATING HOUSE.

What is the best temperature to keep
a propagating house, where I root car-
nations, roses, geraniums and other
spring cuttings? What ought the bottom
heat be and the top heat? L. E. B.

Carnations will root well in a bench
where the bottom heat is 55 degrees.
Geraniums will root in a similar bench,
but 5 degrees higher will suit them bet-
ter. Geranium cuttings inserted in late
winter or early spring will, however, root
more satisfactorily placed singly in small
pots and stood in full sunshine. The
carnations, and about all other cuttings,
require shade until they are rooted. Can
you not divide your house and keep one-
half 5 to 10 degrees warmer than the
other! In the cool end, which can be

kept about 50 degrees at night, carna-
tions, genistas, chrysanthemums, pelar-
goniums, verbenas and cuttings of any
plants requiring cool culture can be
rooted, while in the warmer division, to
be kept at 60 to 65 degrees at night,
with a bottom heat of 70 to 75 degrees,
coleus, altemanthera, heliotrope and
more tender subjects can be accommo-
dated.

Roses will root better at the cool end
of the warm division. If you cannot
well divide your house, try and arrange
it so that more bottom heat can be given
at the warmer end. Of course, after
May 1 any plants will root freely enough
in the same temperature, but as the bulk
of propagating is usually done while a
good deal of fire-heat is used, you should
endeavor to arrange your house to ac-
commodate cuttings requiring a brisk
bottom heat and those needing but little.

PLUMOSUS WITH CARNATIONS.

Can Asparagus plumosus be grown suc-
cessfully in a carnation house?

R. E, G.

Asparagus plumosus should have a
warmer temperature than carnations are
grown in, to be really profitable. They
will grow and make splendid stock, but
not as rapidly as in a temperature ten
degrees higher. A. F. J, B.

Erie, Pa. — It is announced that on

ness at the new greenhouses at Floral

That the supply of Louisiana cypress

far toward maintaining an advertiser's
reputation. Indeed, next to sending out
nothing but first-class stock properly
packed, it is the most important essen-
tial for one who would build up a mail-
order plant trade.

COUNCIL OF HORTICULTURE.

The Council of Horticulture was in
session at the Auditorium Annex, Chicago,
Wednesday, January 22, for the purpose
of shaping up the press bureau work to
which the S. A. F., the Seed Trade As-
sociation and many individual firms have
contributed. It is planned to extend
the scope of the work during the ap-
proaching season. Those present at the
morning session were: Chairman J. C.
Vaughan and W. N. Budd, Chicago; C.
N. Page, Des Moines, la.; C. E. Ken-
del, Cleveland, 0. ; Secretary H. C. Irish,
St. Louis, and others were expected for
the later sessions.

In sending in some subscriptions, the
owner of a good sized range of green^
houses writes:

"I make a standing offer to my men
to pay one-half the cost of their trade
papers and I let my boys choose which
they like best. It stands thusly: Thir-
teen chose the Eeview; the next paper,
six chose; the third paper, two chose;
the fourth florists' paper, one wanted.
So you see the boys have a liking for the
Eeview and I enclose my check for $13."

The record shows that of these thir-
teen subscriptions, six were renewals.'

tee of fifty.

The Horticultural Society of Chicago
has gone on the guarantee list for $1^-
000 and also will give $500 in special
prizes and medals. The guarantee list
now exceeds $12,500.

It is the hope of the committee that
the show will be so successful financially
that the guarantors will receive back
the sums which are necessary to advance
for the preliminary work.

The Great Central Market

Business is fair for the season and
toward the end of last week the market
stiffened perceptibly, the supply of roses
being scarcely enough to meet the de-
mand, and white carnations commanding
a premium. January 20 and 21, how-
ever, were April days and the market
softened again, with the prospect that
we shall have an abundance of stock
until the weather reverts to winter. There
would be a famine in the rose market
should we get a spell of dark, cold, snowy
weather, such as would be seasonable.

Beauties have deteriorated in the last
week. The supply is now much less
than at any time since Christmas and
the quality is off, but the demand is
not strong enough to lift the prices and
several growers report that with con-
tinued bright weather it will be only a
matter of a few days until they will be
on again with heavy crops.

There has been so much funeral work
of late that short roses are command-
ing a premium, Bride especially so. There

ket, but the supply is not greater than
the demand and it frequently requires
some skirmishing to find just the stock
needed for late orders. The market
now supplies quite a variety of roses
when orders are sent early in the day.
Killarney sells out first. Richmond is in
better supply. Mrs. Field also gives a
good cut. Kate Moulton is in good
shape. Not many Chatenay are seen.
Joe Hill, Cardinal, Perle and Sunrise are
daily items of stock.

The carnation market cleaned up well
last week under the leadership of the
white varieties, but there was an ac-
cumulation January 21, carried over from
Monday, which is a day that usually sees
the market well cleaned out. There were,
however, no whites left, but several grow-
ers say it will be only a few days
until they are again in crop with some
white varieties. The carnation crops
are now enough above the usual January
production to counterbalance the short-
age in the fall. There will be plenty of
carnations for McKinley day, January
29, and prices for good stock will be
moderate. Quality is so universally ex-
cellent that short Lawson, where offered,
is sold only at unmentionable prices.

The violet market has been in a bad
way, receipts being much above the
demand. Bulbous stock also has been
selling cheaper than ever before. There
are increasing supplies of tulips in three
colors, and jonquils and daffodils are
coming heavier every day. Golden Spur
is not making the better prices usually
noted for that variety. Roman hyacinths
are a decided glut. Paper Whites do
rather better and large quantities of
all the white bulbous flowers are sold
because of the demand for funeral work.

Some days there is an abundance of
Easter lilies and callas, but on other
days it is hard to pick them up and
the price on the few dozens available
takes a jump. Sweet peas are abundant,
but not many are of attractive quality.

Freesia has come in heavily this week.
Orchids are abundant.

All sorts of greens are plentiful.

New Conunission Man.

Joseph Foerster, who has been for a

number of years with George Reinberg,
and for the last three years manager of
his city store, has made arrangements to
enter the commission business on his own
account, beginning January 27. He will
make his start on the floor of the Flow-
er Growers' market, having secured the
space formerly occupied by F. R, Hills.

Variotn Notes.

A. I. Simmons is in St. Bernard's
hospital, where he underwent an opera-
tion some three weeks ago. He has
been having a serious time with his leg
for a number of months and will be in
the hospital for many weeks.

E. C. Amling has given close attention
to business without having taken a va-
cation for a number of years, and on
the evening of Monday, January 20,
he started for southern California for a
month's rest and recuperation. Mr. Am-
ling has a sister whose home is at Orange,
Cal., near Los Angeles. He was ac-
companied by Mrs. Amling and their
three children. Of the party also was
Albert Amling, vice-president of the May-
wood State Bank and president of the
Albert Amling Co., growers of greens
and roses, together with Mrs. Amling
and their two youngest children. All
told, it was a party of nine.

E. Wienhoeber says that business has
continued good ever since Christmas, al-
though it let up a little last week. He
says that beginning a few days before
Christmas and to the middle of Janu-
ary, the business of the E. Wienhoeber
Co. was ahead of that for the same period
last year, and he asks nothing more.

E. P. Winterson Co., appears in the
obituary column this week.

J. E. Jensen says he is well pleased
with the way business in carnation cut-
tings is progressing. Standard varieties
are moving out well, and some good
orders for Defiance have come in during
the current week. F. R. Pierson and
•T. R. Fotheringham, of Tarry town,
N. Y., were visitors January 20 and
left an order for Defiance.

Harry Bowe says that retail trade in
the first fifteen days of January sur-
prised him by going ahead of the same
period last year, when things were de-

cidedly brisk. The last week, however,
business has fallen off.

Weiland & Eisch say that orders for
young stock of the Killarney rose are
coming in so fast that they have been
obliged to refuse many of them. Kil-
lamey gives cuttings only at the ex-
pense of flowers.

E. F. Winterson is doing jury duty
againg this week, after having had a
week's respite.

Peter Reinberg and a party of friends
started Monday evening for a fortnight 's
trip to Alabama.

C. W. McKellar had a cyclamen plant

last week that carried 160 flowers, but
he says the size that sells for $25 per
hundred is the one that is in most de-
mand.

George Reinberg is still cutting poin-
settias and occasionally a retailer takes
the opportunity to make a decoration
unusual for this season.

Phil Schupp, of J. A. Budlong's,
started January 20 for a week's visit
to the growers in New Castle, Richmond,
Cincinnati and other towns in that direc-
tion.

E. E. Pieser, at Kennicott's, says
the retailers like Dorner's new carna-

tion Winona because it makes such a
pleasant effect under electric light. They
use it largely for dinner-table work.

Frank Beu is again marketing wall-
flowers, which find a good sale.

January 18 was the thirtieth anniver-
sary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs.
A. L. Randall, and the employees of
the company to the number of thirty
made it the occasion for a surprise which
was complete. They took along a salad
and ice cream set as mementos of the
evening. Carl N. Thomas made the
speech of presentation, and it was up
to Mrs. Randall to reply. The festivities
lasted until a late hour.

C. M. Dickinson says tlie last order for
a 10-gallon locked-faucet cask of To-
bak-ine came from Alabama.

C. L. Washburn says that in his
opinion there never will be any difficulty
in selling cut flowers in this market;
the only thing which concerns him is
ways and means of providing the higher
quality of goods which the trade steadily
demands.

Fred Sporry, of Vaughan & Sperry,
says that ninety-five per cent of their
Christmas business was on the credit
basis, but that collections have been
coming in first-class shape this month,
a report to which many of the whole-
salers subscribe.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. in the last few
daf s has begun to receive Purity freesia,
which is so much ahead of the old va-
riety that there is no comparison.

Wietor Bros, this season grew a large
part of their carnations indoors all sum-
mer, and are so well pleased with the
results that they are preparing to work
it the same way for next year. They

have had a good, steady cut of high
quality all season.

H. N. Bruns has been at Detroit to
place his daughter in school there.

George Bros., a firm of Greeks formerly
in the basement at 68 State street, have
closed up since the holidays and their
reappearance in the market is being
anxiously awaited by some of the whole-
salers.

ONONNATL

The Market

Everything is moving along satisfac-
torily in our business and no one has a
kick coming. There is nothing rushing,
but there is just about enough demand to
take care of the supply. There has been
a good deal of funeral work and, in
fact, this did constitute by far the
greater part of the retail business. There
has been scarcely anything doing in so-
ciety. So, with conditions as above, the
demand has been mostly for the poorer
grades of flowers and these, in propor-
tion, brought the highest prices. The
best grades of flowers sold at com-
paratively cheap prices.

American Beauties were in fair de-
mand, but the prices were low for the
grade of goods. Brides and Maids and
other standard varieties averaged bet-
ter. Other red roses were in demand,
with but few coming in. Carnations were
just equal to the demand, and though the
price was a little lower on the best
grades, it would seem that the average
price was well up to what it ought to
be. Enchantress heads the list in the
demand, with red a close second. Lilies

are in demand and at good prices. Val-
ley, Romans, narcissi and tulips are go-
ing nicely. Violets in some eases are
a drug, but those grown near home, and
which have some suggestion of perfume
left, sell well and at good prices.

We are well supplied with gteen goods
of all kinds and the demand is good.
Galax is selling finely this year and leu-
cothoe sprays are a close second.

Various Notes.

Samuel Batson, of Kalamazoo, Mich.,
is in with a good cut of his specialties
and they are in as good demand as
ever. He grows Baby primrose, wall-
flower, forget-me-not and snapdragon,
also carnations and Sprengeri. He also
grows stocks of all kinds to perfection,
and usually gets a fine crop of them in
for Easter.

Geo. FuUe, of Richmond, Ind., was
a caller January 17. He was busy pur-
chasing supplies for the range of 10,000
feet of glass he will erect in the spring.

The sick list is receiving new recruits
almost daily, but as luck will have it,
very few are serious. Chas. Jones is just
recovering from a severe case of the
grippe and hopes to be able to go to
his store by the last of the week. Wm.
Murphy has also been laid up with the
grippe. Wm. Gear has been confined
to his home for some time, but is now
slowly recovering.

I regret to report the death of H.
G. Conger, father of J. T. Conger, which
took place January 16, at Mount Airy,
O. Futher particulars will be found in
the obituary column.

Visitors were B. Eschner and Martin

The Market.

The market had plenty of everything
in season last week and the retailers had
a fairly good week's business, though
mostly work for funerals. Social work
among the west end florists is not as
brisk as it should be at this season of
the year. There are quite a few small
affairs, but those of any note have been
acarce so far this season.

The weather last week, except Mon-
day, was clear and springlike, which
brought to this market an abundance of
cut stock and especially California vio-
lets, which have become a glut, and sold
as low as $2.50 per thousand. Carna-
tions, too, are abundant in all varieties,
white having the call over the others;
$15 to $20 in thousand lots is what they
brought last week. January 20 prices
stiffened somewhat.

American Beauties of all grades are
plentiful, and so are Brides and Maids.

Extra fancy stock is not overplentiful.
Newcomers last week were jonquils,
tulips and extra fine mignonette. Ko-
mans. Paper Whites, callas and sweet
peas are abundant; also everything in
the green line.

Various Notes.

The Engelmann Botanical Club elected
officers at the meeting held January 13:
President, C. H. Thompson, who has
charge of the cactus houses at the Mis-
souri Botanic Garden; vice-presidents.
Dr. Green and Dr. Gladfelter; secretary,
H. S. Barber; treasurer, John Kellogg.
During the evening Professor Craig, in
charge of the herbarium at the Missouri
Botanic Garden, gave an interesting lec-
ture.

C. De Weaver, former manager for
J. W. Dunford, reports that he will this
spring build a greenhouse plant on his
place on the Olive street road, near Clay-
ton, Mo.

J. W. Dunford, who recently bought
out the Gallagher Flower Shop, has

opened a downtown branch in the drug
store of Johnston Bros., at Broadway
and Franklin avenue. Mr. Dunford re-
ports good trade at both places and is
cutting an abundance of stock of all
kinds from his Clayton place.

C. C. Sanders braved the big snow-
storm Monday, January 13, to pay a
visit to his friend, J. F. Ammann, at
Edwardsville, 111. Mr. Sanders says Mr.
Ammann 's place is in extra fine shape
and that it is worth any man's time to
visit it.

Park Commissioner Phil J. Scanlan
has returned from his recreation trip
and is again at his desk in the city
hall, looking like a much refreshed man.

Prof. H. C. Irish, of the Missouri
Botanic Garden, is to read a paper of
his own selection at the meeting of the
Illinois State Florists' Association,
which meets at Springfield, El., Febru-
ary 18 and 19.

signs last week. This department is
well stocked.

The Biessen Floral Co. has been quite
busy with decorations of all kinds since
New Year's. The window displays are
one of the attractions along Broadway.

Mrs. B. Buechel met with a bad acci-
dent last week, falling downstairs, re-
ceiving a bad scalp wound.

Henry Ostertag's specials in decora-
tions were used last week at the big
Lee wedding in Vanderventer place.
This is only one of the few big decora-
tions they have had since New Year's.

W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, is h&v-
i°g good success with violets and carna-
tions in his new houses. These were
built by the Foley Mfg. Co., Chicago.
Mr. Pilcher contemplates building an-
other new house or so this summer.

W. C. Smith estimates that 75,000
California violets were shipped into this
market daily last week from Kirkwood
and should the fine weather keep up the
quantity will soon be doubled. At pres-
ent violets do not bring much, but dur-
ing the holidays they brought a good
stiff price and cleaned up daily.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Market conditions remain rather quiet.
There is not the demand for flowers
which existed a year ago ; yet it is better,
almost, than could have been expected
and seems to be satisfactory in the main
to growers. Roses are in rather short
supply all round and top grade flowers
are bringing good prices; even the short
stems are being cleaned up rather easily.
Carnations seem to be rather off crop

with many growers, for in spite of the
clear, bright weather the supplies do not
exceed requirements. Prices vary from
$2.50 to $6, few selling below $3. Vio-
lets remain about the same, varying from
35 cents to 75 cents per hundred, the
average selling price being about 50
cents.

Sweet peas of best quality are making
up to $1.50 per hundred, some common
grades selUng for a third of this price.
No change in lilies or callas. Bulbous
stock is not in heavy supply and has
cleaned up rather better than a week ago.
Stevia still arrives, but is nearly over
for the season. In miscellaneous flowers,
some nice wallflower is noted, also pan-
sies. Purity freesia still arrives of ex-
cellent quality. Lily of the valley re-
mains a slow trade. Trade in pot plants
of all kinds is rather quiet.

Qub Meetins.

Ladies' night at the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club January 21 once more at-
tracted a large attendance, over 300 be-
ing present. There was no stated lec-
ture, a large part of the evening being
devoted to entertainment and social en-
joyment. Edward Hatch, W. J. Stew-
art and P. Welch, the committee, pre-
sented resolutions on the death of the
late W. W. Edgar, which were voted
accepted, spread on the records and a
copy sent to the bereaved family. The
committee on resolutions for John
Clark, consisting of H. E. Fiske, Thomas
J. Grey and Peter M. Miller, also pre-
sented resolutions which were adopted.
Five new members were elected.

The exhibition tables presented, as
usual, an attractive appearance. W. N.
Craig received a report of merit for a

large vase of Freesia Purity and also
showed zonal geraniums. F. W. Fletcher
staged eucharis and David Wdr had a
splendid specimen moschosma.

The newly elected ofScers were in-
stalled and spoke briefly. President
Westwood spoke of the work of the last
year and optimistically of the future.
He hoped various new avenues of use-
fulness would be opened up. Vice-
President "William Downs made an ex-
cellent address, making some excellent
suggestions. Treasurer Edward Hatch
reported a balance on the year's finances
of nearly $200. He spoke interestingly
in his usual genial and humorous strain.
Secretary W. N. Craig stated that there
had been sixty-one members added tO'
the roll during the year. There were
three deaths. The average attendance
at the club meetings, including ladies'
night, was 153; the smallest attendance
was 110, the largest 316.

The entertainers of the evening, all of
whom were enthusiastically received, in-
cluded Miss Harrigan and Mr. and Mrs.
Brough, who sang. J. K. M. L. Far-
quhar, T. J. Grey and S. S. Skidelsky
were speakers.

Eefreshments were served and it was
quite late before the meeting termin-
ated, all present voting ladies' night of
1908 the best ever.

It was announced that the club would
hold a carnation night February 18,
with prominent speakers, and a rose
night March 17.

are also hoping to go.

Cut blooms from Boston and vicinity
promise to be less numerous than would
be the case were the time for staging
them not put so early as Tuesday, Jan-
uary 28, at 1 p. m. Growers here do not
expect to be able to ship their flowers to
arrive in season, as they cannot be sent
on Sunday. Several novelties will be sent
from Boston and vicinity. Roper's Bay
State is in fine shape and will no doubt
be keenly scrutinized.

Various Notes.

David F. Roy, for nineteen years in
charge of the Converse estate and Pine
Bank park. Maiden, assumes the super-

intendency of the Converse estate at
Marion, Mass., in a few days.

The two committees from the flower
markets, which have been considering the
holding of a. combined exhibition, have
dropped the matter for the present. The
Park Street market will go ahead with a
show of its own, to be held on or about
February 29. A schedule of prizes is
being arranged and will be ready in a
few days. The committee in charge are
S. J. Goddard, W. H. Elliott and William
Sim.

There was a large attendance at Hor-
ticultural hall January 18, to listen to
the regular Saturday lecture, which was
by Prof. F. C. Sears, of Amherst, on
"Opportunities for Commercial Apple
Growing in New England. ' ' A long and
animate discussion followed the lecture.
The San Jose scale came in for consid-
erable attention. The lecturer advo-
cated the Ume and sulphur wash, but
several speakers stated that Scalecide was
an effective remedy and easily prepared
and applied. Robert Cameron's lecture
on "Annuals and Biennials" will attract

a big audience January 25. An exhibi-
tion the same day in the main hall prom-
ises to be an excellent one.

H. F. Calder, of Norwood, is bringing
in some double violets of splendid qual-
ity at present. Mr. Calder is a first-class
grower of violets.

Backer & Co. are still raising seedling
carnations. Some are exceptionally
promising. Their blooms of standard
sorts are of the usual high grade.

Seed merchants report that seeds of
many kinds are arriving unusually late
and it will be impossible to fill early or-
ders in full, owing to non-arrival of some
kinds.

A prominent Brookline private gar-
dener is a candidate for the position of
superintendent of the Boston Public
Gardens and his friends are hopeful of
his securing it.

Up to date we have had a remarkably
open winter, with no snow during Jan-
uary. As a rule, the carnation conven-
tion precipitates a snow storm, but we
hope this year may prove an exception
to the rule. W. N. Cbaio.

The Market

The oldest florist can remember no
such winter as this in New York and
vicinity. The week opens with sunshine
and spring temperature and the dictum
of Old Probabilities is milder. Only
eight weeks until the sun cro'feses the
meridian and less than twelve to Easter.
This year settles it. We have an ideal
climate in New York. One of the whole-
salers who knows Dixie well says we are
climatically in Virginia. And yet the
men who take chances are betting zero
before February. It would be the irony
of fate to have our coldest snap of the
year the week of the carnation conven-
tion. This will give the fellows who
bought fur coats and caps last year in
Toronto when the temperature was 20
degrees below zero a chance to wear
them.

The cut flower market was quite steady
the last of the week at quoted prices,
with Beauties scarcer and on the up
grade. Some sold as high as 60 cents, a
few, and experts say they will not break
50 cents for the fancies during the pres-
ent week.

Stock of all kinds was not abundant
Monday and prices were firm. The bright
weather and the high temperature will
bring an abundance of everything before
the week is over. The quality of all
stock arriving is now at its best.

Carnations are abundant and wonder-
fully low when their splendid size and
perfectness are considered. Never at this
time of the season have prices generally

been so below the average. It is an un-
fortunate state of affairs for the growers,
especially those whose glass area is small.
But there's a good time coming and the
law of averages will be maintained.

Violets stay down and hug the 50-cent
mark persistently. This, too, for the
best of them.

Orchids of many varieties help to make
entrancing the retail windows. In plant
and flower their opportunity for univer-
sality of influence has come. Not a
florist in the big city whose trade is
worthy of the name is without the orchid

now.

Various Notes.

There will be a goodly wholesale and
growers' visitation at the Washington
convention next week. A dozen or more,
including the president of the S. A. F.
and the noted experts of this section,
from Flatbush, Nyack, Tarrytown, Lyn-
brook, Queens and Bedford, will be
there and if the bulk of the prizes do not
come to New York we will be very much
surprised.

The many weddings and dinners in the
city keep the retailers alert and happy.
Grippe, too, is contributing its share of
influence and funeral work is said to be
excessive. The fine weather, however, is
proving a boon to the merchants du pave
and these now necessary addenda to the
cut flower history of all large cities man-
age to clean up the market daily.

One of the signs of an early spring is
the foreign bulb contingent here and ar-
riving on every steamer.

B. Buys' son, W. J., of the Royal
Moerheim Nurseries, Holland, was one of
last week's callers.

If prices of nursery stock at wholesale
in this country are an indication of de-
mand, then word from Rochester of the
spring rates confirms it. When apples
go to 12 cents and pears to 30 cents and
can be held there, with the call louder
than the supply, the activity of the com-
ing spring to Bobbink & Atkins, Hiram
Jones, J. T. Lovett, the Elizabeth Nur-
sery Co. and the many other growers
of nursery stock can be better imagined
than described.

Saturday, February 29, only happens
once or twice in a life time. The New
York Club will celebrate on that even-
ing'with its annual dinner and, with its
efficient managing committees, the club
may expect the greatest celebration in
its history. An attendance of over 100
is a conservative estimate. In fact, no
one with a spark of loyalty to the club 's
prosperity can afford to miss it, and
they won't. Send Chairman Sheridan
your acceptance now.

Leonard Barrow lectured this week
Wednesday, at 3:30 p. m., at the Ameri-
can Institute. His subject was "Every-
body's Flower Garden," The lecture
was illustrated by stereopticon slides
from photographs and * * harmonious color
effect" was the theme.

The floral manager at the Knicker-
bocker is arranging for a great Tam-
many dinner at an early date, with many
unique decorative effects, the piece de'
resistance being a floral tiger seven feet
in length, the frame for which is being
made by Reed & Kellar, whose last unique
manufacture was the sedan chair used at
the Vanderbilt dinner.

On January 27 come the elaborate
wedding decorations for Miss Gladys
Vanderbilt and Count "Sneeze it," of

January 23, 1908.

The fire at Thomas Young, Jr. 's, on
Twenty-eighth street, last week did not

interfere with business, the damage af-
fecting the building only.

Two acres of glass in four great
houses, averaging 50x325, every foot de-
voted to the growing of carnations, is
a vision worth any lover of flowers jour-
neying to Scarboro to see. Add to this
a heating system, simple, effective and
unsurpassed and results that make one
almost stand aghast with their extent
and promise, and you cannot understand
why every carnation grower, large and
small, does not visit Mr. Pierson's won-
derful factory. A cut of nearly 25,000
flowers Christmas week tells its own
story. Winsor here is queen. The
houses look like great wheat fields, so
even and abundant are the buds. There
is no disease, no failures and this is not
the end. There is room for three more
houses equally large, and a heating sys-
tem large enough for all of them, and
so simple, economical and perfect that
I cannot imagine any addition to its
"white perfection." Mr. Pierson grows
more than Winsor, but he grows Winsor
more. Here also are Melody, White
Lawson, Victory, Beacon, Red Chief,
Helen Gould, Patten, Enchantress and
all the Enchantress family, white, rose-
pink and variegated, as well as Red Law-
son and Variegated Lawson. At the
Tarrytown greenhouses ferns of Boston
and all its children may be seen in

abundance, and the latest, not yet even
exhibited, is a sport of Elegantissima,
the most beautiful of them all. Mr.
Fotheringham is back from England
with glowing stories of European horti-
culture, but in nearly every department
of floriculture he declares America leads
the world. J. Austin Shaw.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Risine Eastern Market.

The market conditions for the last
week have not been so good. The cut
on roses is not heavy and, with one or
two days of good business, the supply
would be short. Beauties are coming in
much better than last week, except in
the short and medium grades, which are
a little bit scarce, the most of them
being imperfect and off color. Richmond
and Liberty have shortened up and sell
a trifle better. Brides are scarce and in
great demand for funeral work, of which
there is quite a lot. Maids have short-
ened in supply and clean up at a little
better prices. Killarney and Chatenay
are a little shy and are much sought
after.

The cut on carnations, which was re-
ported heavy last week, has fallen off
considerably. Enchantress, which is fine
at this season, is much in demand. Win*

sor is a good sort and a great many more
could be used, but the supply is limited
and there is not enough to meet the
demand. Beacon is good and the grow-
ers say it is a free bloomer and a good
selling variety. White Perfection is at
its best and is a good commercial white.
The flowers are or enormous size. Law-
son and White Lawson are up to their
standard and bring fairly good prices.

The heavy crop of gardenias is about
over for a few weeks and the call for
them is much better, the price remaining
about the same.

Sweet peas are going fairly well and
are much improved in quality. Laven-
der and white are the most sought after
and bring $1 to $1.50 per hundred. Vio-
lets, which were plentiful at the begin-
ning of last week, have fallen off in the
cut and good singles seem to be a little
scarce. There are still a few good poin-
settias to be had. Spring sto<^, such as
lilacs, tulips and daffodils, cleans up
fairly well. Freesia and yellow daisies
are in good demand. Valley and mignon-
ette are too plentiful and are hard to
move. Cattleyas are good stock, C^-
ripediums are plentiful and hang nre.
Harrisii lilies are in fair demand and
the quality is fine.

Green stuff is selling in good shape and
is a trifle scarce.

The Ball Season*

The large private and subscription
balls continue at the rate of one or two
each week and it is safe to say that never
have these balls been given on a more
elaborate scaje. The decorations have
been striking in every instance and in
some cases have shown a degree of taste
and originality highly creditable to the
floral artist.

It is much the fashion for our florists,
both wholesalers and retailers, to say
that these balls have little effect on the
market and general business. While this
may be true to some extent, the state-
ment is certainly misleading. Leaving
Igreens, which they except, out of consid-
eration, we find that over 1,000 of the
new rose, Wyndmoor, alone were used
in the first of these decorations, while
in many of the others cut flowers have
been used more extensively than in for-
mer years, especially on the supper ta-
bles. But it is not in the ball decora-

Tbe most beautlfal as well as the most useful Fern ever offered.
It is suitable botli for specimen pot plants and for nsingr as a cut
frond. Well rrown stock ready now. 2^-inch, $3.60 per dos.;

also in the dinners that generally precede
these festive occasions. Sometimes these
dinners are large and the tables hand-

choice flowers are sure to be required.

An Interesting CataIog[ue«

The commissioners of Fairmount park
have issued a catalogue of all the tender
plants in Horticultural hall. The preface
describes the erection of the hall for
the Centennial in 1876 and its main-
tenance since then. The raising of the
vast roof ten feet higher, with addi-
tional glass for light; the addition at
the east end for the Carpenter collection,
the fitting up of the west end as a cactus
house and other improvements, are also
described. The catalogue proper is de-
voted to a list of the names of all the
plants in the hall, many of them brought
there by exhibitors at the time of the
Centennial and now of great value.
Each class is given a brief introduction
and a few of the principal specimens are
described at length. The catalogue is
illustrated with an excellent photograph
of the parterre or sunken garden, planted
in summer time, also with photographs
of the main hall, of the cactus house, of
the fern house, and of the show room at
the east end when filled with azaleas and
lilies in the spring and when filled with
chrysanthemums in the fall. While no
name is attached to the catalogue, it is
understood that the preface and descrip-
tions are written by the landscape gar-
dener, Oglesby B. Paul, while the correct
compilation and classification of the
names of the plants is the work of the
superintendent, Zavier E. Schmidt.

ready preparing for a big Easter busi-
ness.

J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the Henry
A. Dreer Co., delivered an illustrated
lecture on "The Flora of the Yellow-
stone Park" before the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society January 21. This
lecture was delivered by Mr.' Thilow be-
fore our national society in Broac* Street
Theater August 21, 1907.

The window of J. J. Habermehl 's Sons
in the Bellevue-Stratford created quite
a stir a few days ago. It was all in
white; Easter lilies, Paper Whites,
Brides, carnations, Bomans, etc., sot off
by a brilliant red background. Phil.

Little Rock, Ark. — The annual meet-
ing of the State Horticultural Society
was held at Van Buren January 21 to
--3. One of the speakers was W. K.
Tipton, of Tipton & Hurst, who talked
on evergreens.

THE DEATH ROLL.

Patrick McDonough.

Patrick McDonough died at his home
in East Newark, N. J., January 13,
after a long illness. He had been in
business as a florist in Kearny and Ar-
lington for many years and owned a large
amount of property in Kearny. He had
been a resident of West Hudson for
more than fifty years. He is survived
by his wife and by two sons and a
daughter.

Hannali Degnan.

Hannah Degnan, wife of Dominick
Degnan, died January 16 at her resi-
dence, 2730 Fifth avenue, Chicago. She
was 56 years of age and an old resident.
She was the mother of John P. Degnan,
who is well known in the trade as as-
sociated with the E. F. Winterson Co.,
I Chicago, and also the mother of four

other surviving sons. The funeral was
held Saturday, January 18, interment be-
ing at Mount Olivet.

H. G. Conger.

H. G. Conger, father of the Cincinnati
florist, J. T. Conger, died at Mount
Airy, O., January 16, and the funeral
was held January 20. Mr. Conger had
been ill for some time and his death
was not entirely unexpected. He was
76 years old and had been married fifty-
five years. His wife is still alive, but is
in poor health.

Marston B. Bunker.

Marston B. Bunker, the Boston florist,
whose death January 12 was reported
briefly in last week's Review, entered
Boothby hospital Thursday, January 9,
and the operation was performed on
Saturday. He rallied quickly, but later
the operation had to be repeated, and
the second time he failed to recover
consciousness.

Born in Cambridge, April 25, 1859, he
became a florist while young, and for
a number of years was in charge of the
stands at the Parker House, Young's
Hotel and the Touraine. Later he began
business for himself in a store on Beacon
street, moving nine years ago to City
Hall avenue. He lived at 82 Boston
street, Somerville.

He was a member of Soley lodge of
Free Masons; American lodge, L O. O.
F.; Unity council, R. A.; Royal Arch
chapter of Masons and the Somerville
lodge of Elks. He leaves a widow, %
son and daughter.

Fargo, N. D.— John L. Graves has
sold his interest in the firm of Shotwell
& Graves to A. T. Shotwell, who will
continue the business. Mr. Graves will
remove to California.

It gives me great pleasure to remit
another dollar for the renewal of my
subscription to the Review, the gem of
horticultural journals, which I look for
most eagerly every week and which in-
forms me in up-to-date style of what
is going on in our profession. I have been
perfectly satisfied with the paper in the
past, and hope to give it the support
of my little dollar, and any other sup-
port that I can render it, for many a
year. — C. Adams, Memphis, Tenn.

WORMS IN LETTUCE SOIL.

I have a small lettuce house, 16x80,
and use raised benches. I have used the
same soil for five years and it is very
rich. Now I find the soil full of small
worms that look like angleworms. I am
not aware that they do much damage,
but the top of the soil looks as if ants
had worked it up, though I know it is
the work of the worms. Do they do any
harm, and what is a good remedy?

A. V.

I would advise you to change the soil
as soon as possible, if you can get at
some fresh, clean, new soil. Clean out
the benches thoroughly, washing them
with the hose and a scrub brush, and
give them a good coat of whitewash.
The job will not occupy more than a
day or two and will make considerable
difference in the crops. The soil might
be sterilized, so as to kill all the worms,
etc., or you might clean them out by
giving the soil a heavy dusting of lime,
but it would be far better to remove the
soil entirely, as it has been inside too
long, even if kept rich by heavy manur-
ing. The worms will not injure the
plants directly, but make the soil soggy
and sour, so that it is difficult to get
a good crop. The frost, wind and weath-
er outside keep the soil in better shape
than any treatment we can give it in-
side. H. G.

MECHANICAL WATERING.

W. B. Davis & Co., at Aurora, HI.,
who are well known for the success they
have made in the growing of vegetables
under glass, have just completed a range
of seven new houses, each 28x150, for
lettuce and cucumbers. While the new
range is modern in every particular,
probably the innovation which will strike
the grower most forcefully is that there
is not a single water tap in the entire
range. After having used the Wittbold
system of mechanical watering for two
years or more, Davis & Co. are so well
pleased with it that they rely entirely
upon it to supply moisture to the plants
in the new range.

and gladiolus specialist, is putting up

State of Business.

There has been no material change in
the market since last writing. If any,
the tone of the market is better. Prices
are running about the same, stock is in
good condition and this, coupled with a
fairly good demand, makes it a pleasure
to do business. The supply is not abun-
dant, though sufficiently large to meet all
requirements, the bulk of the business
being caused by the demand for many
funerals.

Beauties are in pretty good crop and
in fine shape. Brides and Maids are in
fair crop, with just about enough to go
around; quality is fine. Richmond is in
good cut. Carnations have been in good
demand and moving lively; if the quality
holds, there will be no complaint. Vio-
lets are excellent and sell well. Romans,
narcissi and valley are in good demand
and not any too plentiful. A few tulips
are coming in, but stems are short as
yet, making them hard to sell. Daffodils
and jonquils are to be had, but not in
any large quantities; however, they soon
will be quite a factor in the business.

Various Notes.

H. Bayersdorfer and wife, of Phila-
delphia, were in the city a few days last
week on their way to the Pacific coast.
Another visitor last week was William
D^ckham, of New Jersey, who has min-
ing interests located at Idaho Springs in
this state.

Various agencies in the grocery trade

respectively, a difference of 970,897

J. Charles McCullough, Cincinnati,
has returned from a trip to California,
during which he attended the wedding
of his son, Trimble McCullough.

A GROWEK writes: "It is always an
aggravating experience to be forced to
observe plants mixed beyond redemp-
tion, when the whole were expected to
be of one variety and color, but extreme-
ly so when such a development means
the uselessness for market of the whole
product. The man or firm who can be
relied upon to furnish good seed, true
to name, should be counted among our
dearest friends on earth and frequent
inquiries made concerning the health of
such. ' '

It is becoming quite the fashion for
truck growers' associations to place bulk
orders for seeds. The Grayson County
Fruit and Truck Growers' Association
met January 11 at Denison, Tex., and
after listening to the report of a com-
mittee previously appointed, voted to
plant its acreage with Sure Head cab-
bage, Prizetaker onion, Rocky Ford can-
taloupe. Triumph potato and Alabama
Sweet watermelon. The committee was
authorized to buy for the association
seeds to plant its entire acreage, and
members were given until January 20 to
make known their individual require-
ments. It was reported that the com-
mittee had received quotations that indi-
cate a considerable saving by placing or-
ders in bulk.

WITH THE CANNERS.

It is said that with the canners there
is next to no business on peas for deliv-
ery from the 1908 pack. Buyers demand
a concession from the prices of last sea-
s'on, while canners want an advance.
Prices on Wisconsin goods are held firmly
but 80 far as can be learned the future
business in them has been a good deal
smaller than in previous years. Some of
the New York state packers are ready to
accept orders on the basis of last year's
pnces, and in one or two instances might
'Je induced to accept a little less, but the
•luestion of delivery terms is the rock on
which buyers and sellers split, the former
demanding guaranteed delivery on con-
tracts, while the latter are unwilling to
f'lose business except on a pro rata de-
livery basis. This difference is said to

be one of the main reasons for the back-
wardness of buying in future canned
goods generally and until after the na-
tional convention, when the question will
undoubtedly be a prominent subject of
discussion, it is believed that future busi-
ness will be slack. At the meeting of
the National Wholesale Grocers' Asso-
ciation executive committee, held in Chi-
cago January 20, this question of con-
tract deliveries formed the chief subject
for debate, and it is expected that a de-
cision will be reached which will enable
the jobbers to go to the canners' con-
vention in Cincinnati next month with a
well defined idea of what the jobbers
want and will insist upon having.

In the protest of Vandegrift & Co.,
dried iris bulbs which were classified un-
der the provision in paragraph 251, tariff
act of 1897, for "bulbs which are culti-
vated for their flowers," are claimed to
^ be free of duty under paragraph 548 as
"drugs," or under other provisions of
the free list. The following is the opin-
ion of the general appraisers:

The iris is a well-known flowering plant. See

ties of this plant is produced the orris root,
known to the drug trade. We think, however,
that the orris root of commerce la the root of

materials. It appears from the evidence that
these plants at the time of Importation were
in a condition to germinate and grow. If the
bulb may be used either to plant for flowering
purposes or to raise a product Intended for ulti-
mate conversion into a Oiug, It can not be said,
therefore, to be dutiable under paragraph 548.

The following view expressed by the Board In
Abstract 12933 (T. D. 27636) Is pertinent to
this case:

"Sonae stress Is laid upon the fact that the
United States Dispensatory refers to asparagus
as having reputed medicinal qualities and to
pumpkin seed as furnishing a remedy for tape-
worm, but this can not be the test. Many table
vegetables, or the plants or seeds producing
them, contain medicinal principles and are men-
tioned In the Dispensatory, such as lettnce,
pelery, potatoes, tomatoes, beans. It would
be opposed to common knowledge and sound
construction to class such articles as drugs un-
less the particular substance imported was of
such variety, quality, condition, or stage of
growth as to be unfit for Its common use and
to be adapted to the uses of the drug trade,
inis was true of the celery seed held to be
a drug In Clay v. Magone (40 Fed. Rep., 230),
which was not In such condition that it could
t* sold for planting purposes. We conceive
that It might also be true of lettuce after It
naa reached the period of Inflorescence, when It
[S unfit for food and yields the drug known as
laotnearlum."

The claim that the goods are free Is plainly
untenable.

samples of seeds have been collected, of which
1,187 have l>een examined. Sixty-six samples
were found adulterated and reported to the
various Commonwealth Attorneys. In addition
to the samples regularly provided for by law,
we have had numerous samples sent us by
farmers and seedsmen for examination. This
latter work is growing, and as our work be-
comes more familiar to farmers and seedsmen,
we expect this branch of our duties to increase
greatly. This work has been done without ex-
pense to applicants and I think this branch of
the work should so continue, unless at some
time it becomes so great a burden as to inter-
fere with our other work.

The law in its present form is defective.

First— Section 1 provides that persons who
sell, offer or expose for sale mixed, adulterated
or misbranded seeds and Ifnown by them to be
mixed, adulterated or misbranded, and done
with fraudulent intent wltbln the meaning of
this act, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. It
is almost impossible to prosecute under this
provision, because it is difficult to prove what
a man's intentions were In any given case. The
result is that not a single conviction has been
obtained. In this respect the law should be
similar to the State Pure Food Law, which only
releases the seller in case be has a written
guaranty of purity from the wholesaler who
resides within the State.

Second — Section 4 of the law exempts growers
of seeds from its provisions. Many seedsmen
grow their own seeds largely and there is no
reason why they should not furnish pure seeds
as well as the wholesaler or retailer of seeds.

Third — There is no provision made in the law
for paying expenses of inspecting and analysis.
Some provision should be made to meet these
expenses.

Fourth — Tlie law should also cover all field
seeds and seeds adulterated with weed seeds.
The presence of weed seeds in the great num-
ber of samples examined by this station indicates
that foreign seeds are a source of more loss to
farmers than seeds otherwise adulterated. The
parasite dodder, for instance. Is actually de-
structive to clover and alfalfa, and once estab-
lished on land renders it unfit for these crops
for several years afterwards. The law ought
to be amended so as to exclude from the market
all field seeds containing more than 5 per cent
foreign seeds of any sort.

The law, with the amendments suggested to
cover the defects, I believe, would be effective
and result in great benefit to the farmers of
the state.

RAVAGES OF RODENTS.

In last week's Review it was reported
that Win. Sim, of Cliftondale, Mass.,
had lost a considerable part of his stock
of seeds of Comet tomato, by the op-
erations of mice; in fact, that all the
seeds intended for sale were lost and
only enough remained to supply Mr.
Sim's needs for planting. Every grow-
er who at any time has even a small
quantity of seeds on hand should have
a mice-proof case for them. Heller &
Co., Montpelier, O., exhibited such a
set of"teed drawers at the Washington
convention of the S. A. F. They supply
complete sets of such fixtures for seed
stores, but make them in cabinets of
all sizes to meet the needs of those who
carry only small stocks of seeds for
their own use. So far as known, this
is the only firm which ever has shown
such device to the trade.

PEELING GLADIOLUS BULBS.

Why do -we peel gladiolus eorms just
before planting! I have tried various
experiments, but can discover no bene-
fits from so doing. I». S. S.

The practice of removing the husk
from gladiolus bulbs before planting is

not only unnecessary, but in many cases
is a disadvantage. Especially is this
true -when bulbs are planted for the
flower in soil which has been prepared
by the use of stable manure, either in
the fall, which is the preferable time, or
in the spring, through forgetfulness in
the fall or for any other reason.

The husk is a protection to the bulb,

keeping it, to quite an extent, from
contact with manure or other substances
which would bum the bulb if peeled. It
also protects it from bruising and, most
important of all, it protects the small
sprouts which produce spikes and new
bulbs. I would as soon think of peel-
ing an onion before planting as a
gladiolus bulb. Arthur Ck)WEE.

LIQUID FROM TOBACCO STEMS.

Of what fertilizing value, if any, is
liquid made from tobacco stems steeped
in water? M. E.

While there is some manurial property
in tobacco stems, it is so trifling as com-
pared with what can be obtained from
animial manures, that it would not pay to
bother with it. The water is useful
for spraying purposes and can also be
utilized on asters and other plants trou-
bled with aphis at the root. Potato
growers not, infrequently use the stems
in their 'furrows. They can also be ad-
vantageously used in the hills for
squashes and cucumbers outdoors. Plants
so located are more immune from at-
tacks of borers and other pests. C. W.

FAIRIES FOR MEMORIAL DAY.

I think I have lost all my pansies.
Will you kindly tell me the best way to
get some for Memorial day! Could I
sow some seeds in the greenhouse, or
would it be best foj me to buy plants,
and would they bloom by that time?

H.P.

Pansies may be sown now and will
bloom by summer, but if you want good,
strong plants in bloom for Memorial day,
your best plan will be to purchase some
* transplanted seedlings raised last fall and
which are being wintered either outdoors
or in a coldframe. Plant these in a cold
greenhouse, or, better still, in a cold-
frame. Give them well manured com- '

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Jamcabt 23, 1906.

PACIFIC COAST.

Pasadena, Cal. — W. J. Hesser,
fonuerly in the greenhouse business at
Plattsmouth, Neb., is now propagator
for the Park Nursery Co., of Pasadena.

PORTLAND, ORE.

State of Trade.

Trade fell to a low ebb immediately
after New Year's, allowing us time to
get rested and to take a trial balance,
and we are now more convinced that
1907 was a remarkably good year for our
profession. At this writing, business
has righted itself and we are prepared
to hold the fort for another six months.
One satisfying feature is the fine qual-
ity of nearly everything coming into the
market, and there is no scarcity of stock,
either, in any line except violets. We
must remark that the growers are right
up to snuflf this season, having surmount-
ed many difficulties characteristic of this
moist climate. The retail stores are em-
bellished with cinerarias, azaleas, cycla-
mens and daffodils which sell farily well
and are easily handled in the absence of
Jack Frost.

Visiting the Suburbs.

Portland's many suburbs have made
a surprising growth in the last few years
and none has shown greater activity than
that known as the Mount Scott district.
Lents, its terminus, lies six miles south-
east of the city proper, and we often
walk out and back to keep ourselves in
good physical trim. This we undertook
last Sunday. Leaving Hawthorn avenue,
we get a partial view of Clarke Bros.'
large place, once plainly visible from
the street car, but now almost obscured
by substantial cottages and bungalows.
The big dog on duty objected to our
presence, so we passed on to renew ac-
quaintance with Tom Bodley. No pre-
tension is made of enlarging his busi-
ness, as he is more interested in real
estate.

A Japanese firm, doing business under
the name of the Nippon Floral Co., is
nicely established at Arleta, with 7,000
feet of glass. Respecting a Japanese
custom, we removed our shoes before
entering the place and were nicely enter-
tained by one of the proprietors with
descriptions of many oriental novelties.
In the same neighborhood Budolph
Stadeli has built one good, substantial
house and knows how to grow carna-
tions. He also devotes much time to
landscape work and to the care of
gardens.

Our next stopping place was Kern
Park, where we met a gentleman bearing
the familiar name of Jay Gould. Al-
though an electrician by trade, Mr.
Gould has other talents and has trans-
formed a bit of the wilderness into one
of the most attractive places in the dis-
trict. He has started with two houses
« and equipped them with everything mod-
ern, including electric lights. Mr.
Gould says bis method of watering stock
is a legitimate one and looks good to
him.

On the return trip we crossed lots and
paid our respects to Jean Kobinson, in
Woodstock, a successful violet grower.
The sun was shining some and Jean said
it was worth a dollar a minute to him.
From there we went to Montavilla and

made a short call on the Mountain View
Floral Co. This firm is making a spe-
cialty of flowering plants this winter and
the output is a credit to any place.

The first traveling man to extend
greetings of the New Year was James
Karins, representing Henry A. Dreer.
There would never be hard times if
everybody were as optimistic as Mr.
Karins. Our Commercial Club has for
some months had a photographer sta-
tioned at the Union depot to take a snap-
shot of any traveling man landing there,
and Mr. Karins' picture now adorns the

The Maricet.

Everything is at a standstill, with the
exception of funeral orders, and they are
the chief source of income for the flo-
rists at this time. There has been a
great quantity of out-of-town shipping
and those retailers who make a specialty
of this kind of work have had plenty
to do.

Flowers are fairly plentiful and the
prices remain about the same as those
quoted during the last few weeks. Eoses
are scarcer than they were at any time
during the holidays and the prices show
a tendency to rise somewhat. Carnations
are plentiful and cheap, with a brisk de-
mand for all kinds of white varieties.

Valley is plentiful and moves slowly.
A few good Harrisii are seen and they
cost the retailers $2 per dozen stems.
Daffodils of the Ard Kigh type have
made their appearance in town and they
sell well at $2 per hundred. Narcissi of

the white sorts are in good demand for
white work, and although they are not
yet in their prime, they move well.

A few straggling mums of the late
white and yellow sorts are seen, and al-
though they are long past their prime,
they do very well to fill in designs with.
Hothouse-grown sweet peas help to keep
up the variety in the windows. Roman
hyacinths have moved slowly all during
the season and at no time has there been
any particular demand for them. Green
stuff is plentiful, with the possible excep-
tion of maidenhair, and all the large
growers seem to be in poor supply at
this time.

Various Notes.

G. W. Simmons, of Elmhurst, will

The cut flower trade is good. There
is a brisk demand for flowers, with a
plentiful supply to draw from. Carna-
tions bring 60 cents to 75 cents per
dozen retail. Boses are of good quality.
They realize $1.50 to $2 per dozen re-
tail. Violets do not sell so readily.
Sweet peas are in moderate supply. They
sell for $1 per hundred retail. There is
a fairly good supply of bulbous flowers
just now. Paper Whites, tulips and
narcissi bring 50 cents per dozen retail.

H. A. Jahn is busy shipping cuttings

Seager, Rochester. N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates,

be held at Milwaukee, Juue, 1908.

Visited New Yoek: W. J. Ruys,
representing B. Buys, Dedemsvaart, Hol-
land.

The man who wanted to plant a big
orchard of Jonathan apples would have
no easy time finding good two-year stock.

The Wisconsin State Horticultural So-
ciety will hold its annual meeting at
Madison February 4 to 6. .

Akebia quinata is a handsome Japa-
nese climber, quite hardy, with handsome
foliage, fragrant flowers and ornamental
fruit.

H. J. CoEFiELD, who for nearly three
years has been designing and construct-
ing an estate of nearly 300 acres near
Detroit, has resigned and returned east.

At Castle Haynes, near Wilmington,
Del., A. Van Leeuwen and H. H. De
Wildt, formerly of Worcester, Mass., are
establishing a nursery on the land of the
Carolina Trucking Development Co.

Abistolochia' siPHO, the Dutchman's
pipe, is a desirable vine for piazza cov-
ering when a dense shade is required.
The foliage of this vine develops to
immense proportions and is tropically ef-
fective.

The Oregon State Horticultural So-
ciety held its annual meeting at Port-
land January 14 and 15. There was a
splendid display of apples, and most of,
the discussion related to apples, for ap-
ple growing is becoming a large and
profitable industry in Oregon.

The English ivy is undoubtedly the
most satisfying of all vines for cover-
ing brick or stone buildings in locations
where it is able to survive without ma-
terial injury from year to year. The
older and more established the English
ivy becomes, the less danger there is of
it being damaged in winter or early
spring.

Wm. a, Peterson, proprietor of the
Peterson Nursery, Chicago, was re-
elected a director of the State Bank of
Chicago, with deposits of $17,000,000, at
its annual meeting this y^eek. Mr. Peter-
son takes nearly as much pleasure in
watching the bank grow as he does in
seeing his peonies bloom. The trust funds
are his special care.

BOX FOR EDGING.

In some European countries box was
at one time, and may be still, much used
for edging gravel paths and for defining
all sorts of formal beds. When used for
path edging the custom was to keep the
box clipped so that it seldom attained
six inches in height. When used, as it
was in many instances, for keeping the
soil in place in beds, just as much as
for its ornamental value of itself, it was
of necessity allowed to grow much taller
and thicker. There is a great deal of
box used in this country, mainly because
of the assistance it gives in the forma-
tion of so-called Italian gardens, and
when 80 used it is always called for at
least six inches in height, and often
double that. Box is also used along the

edges of walks, but it is used not in
small, insignificant plants, but in plants
of such generous proportions as will give
immediate and somewhat massive effect.
Large box plants ,are also used in great
numbers for planting in closely formed
groups to be subjected subsequently Jo
severe clipping to bring the whole, into
the desired form aj?d thereby bring about
the much coveted formal effect, now in
vogue. M.

OHIO NURSERYMEN ORGANIZE.

The nurserymen of Ohio effected a
state organization at Columbus January
15 with the following officers: President,
J. W. McNary, of Dayton; vice-presi-
dent, Bobert George, of Painesville; sec-
retary, W. B. Cole, pt Painesville ; treas-
urer, W. N. Scarff, of New Carlisle; ex-
ecutive comniittee, Robert George, of
Painesville; Fred D. Green, of Perry;
G. 8. Pickett, of Clyde; John Sieben-
thaler, of Dayton, and E. G. Cox, of
Proctorville.

BEDS OF EVERGREENS.

Nurserymen, landscape gardeners and
others are frequently called upon to em-
bellish public and private grounds with
evergreens and to plant or direct their
planting in groups, borders or beds in
such a manner that the effect will be im-
mediate. Although to some minds the
close planting of evergreens in formal
beds may seem unnatural, yet such ar-
rangement in planting only comes to ap-

^ar ' emphatically unnatural after some ^
tinte has passed, and after Hh^ Qnce ', ,
shapely* little trees have grown to such
an extent- that all individuality and •
shapeliness are gonev And that fault
cannot- b?, attributed to the system of
planting as. at first accomplished) "but
rather to neglect to adopt certain m^s- '>
ures Which, if attended to at the prop^
time, would be effectual.

When the planting was done it is rea->'.
sonably certa;in that whoever ha3' it in
charge expect&d that some one would •
see to it that just as the trees showed
evidence of crowding there would be a
systematic thinning out ai^d the plants
removed would be used in an "Extension
of the planting of the grounds. This
would not only prevent the utter deform-
ity of the trees in the beds, but would
also prevent the impression sometimes
produced that such planting as at first
done is practiced for the financial ad-
vantage it affords by the use of large
numbers of plants.

When further thinning out for the
preservation of the individuality of
plants in beds becomes impractical^ a
judicious use of the knife or shears will
do much to keep them well furnished
with foliage and prevent them from un-
duly crowding each other to the injury
of all. M.

State of Trade.

There is little doing here; in fact, in
all lines everybody is complaining and
no matter how optimistic we may feel,
we cannot get away from the fact that
conditions are not good, with so many
out of work, which makes quite a differ-
ence in our business.

Boses are scarce and command fair
prices: from 5 cents to 10 cents, the
cheaper grades being most in demand
for funeral work.

Carnations are poor this year. The
majority of them are split, especially En-
chantress, and, in faat, both white and
Lawson. The former are small and the
latter short in the stem, which makes it
difficult to make good returns. Fair
Maid is a dead one and can only be got
rid of at a sacrifice. It certainly ought

not to be grown in this section another
year.

Price of Bedding Stock.

For the first time in many ^ years the
florists of Rochester got together, Jan-
uary 15, to consider the question of ad-
vancing the price of bedding stock this
spring. In the past $1 per dozen has
been the price for geraniums at retail.
It is proposed to advance them to $1.25
and $1.50, according to ^rade, and other
things in equal proportion. Fred Vick
acted as chairman and a committee was
formed to draw up a scale of prices to
be submitted to the trade for their ap-
proval. The meeting was well attended
and it is to be hoped that from this gath-
ering others will follow and lead to the
organization of a Rochester Florists'
Club, which, for some unaccountable rea-
son, Rochester, now a first-class city,
does not possess. H. B. S.

REASONS

BIAY"

PITTSBURG.

The Market

The general business conditions are not
satisfactory to anyone at present. Soci-
ety is not doing anything to demand any
quantity of stock, confining themselves
usually, in the language of one man, to
"a sandwich and a few flowers on the
table." Funeral work continues to hold
up well, but Beauties and high priced
stock must suffer and you will hear
neither wholesalers nor retailers brag-
ging very much.

Various Notes.

There is considerable talk about the
carnation convention and it is likely there
will be a large delegation from this city.
Fred Burki, John Wyland, Albert Lorch,
Chas. Garland, I. S. Crall, Joha, Murchie
and E. A. Reineman have declared them-
selves and many others are holding the
matter under consideration.

Jos. E. Bonsall, the man who runs his
greenhouses without artificial heat, was
a visitor last week. He locked his house
after mums were done, took his good
wife and went traveling. He is now
going home to get ready for old Sol
when he warms up enough to heat his
houses. Mr. Bonsall has been experi-
menting with this for several years and
says he gets all the work he wants from
spring to Thanksgiving, and makes
enough money in that time to enjoy liv-
ing the balance of the year. Hoo-Hoo.

Ws sold 20,000 carnation plants with
a classified advertisement in the Bkyisw
for four weeks. — G. E. Beal.

Why You Should Plant MAY

May is a strictly commercial variety. Business
from beginning to end.

It comes into bloom early and continues unin-
terruptedly until the end of the season.

It is freer than any other light pink we know of.

The size of the bloom is just what you want in
quantity, 2Yt to 3^ inches.

The color is deeper and brighter and more even
than Enchantress and holds better.

The form is well shown in illustration.

It is not BO crowded in the center as Enchant-
ress, therefore opens quicker.

The calyx never splits and stem is always strong.

The plant grows strong and upright and about
as tall as Lady Bountiful.

Makes nice plants in the field and transplants
easily.

We invite yoii' to come and see our stock of it
any time; you will like its habit.

WASHINGTON.

Business was not so brisk last week.
The store men are complaining. Stock
is more abundant than it was the previ-
ous week. Prices still keep up. Bulbous
stock is more plentiful. Violets are
not moving so well. There is plenty of
fine lilac, which is selling at $1.50 per
plant.

F, H. Kramer is about the only man
in town who is making a specialty of
Virginia violets, selling them at 50 cents
per hundred. Several years ago these
violets were indispensable.

George Fields is sending in some ex-
ceptionally "fine cattleyas.

J. J. Harty & Co. have a fine lot of
double poinsettias, which bring $35 per
hundred.

A special meeting of the club was
called for Tuesday,-^ January 21, to finish
all business in connection with the car-
nation convention. The banquet com-
mittee consists of Peter Bisset, W. F.
Gude, Charles McCauley, George Cooke,
George C. Shaffer, F. H. Kramer and
John Eobinson. The tickets will be $3
per plate.

Reed & Kellar's representative, E., J.
Fancourt, of the Pennock-Meehan Co.,
and Mr. Goudy, representing Henry
Dreer, Philadelphia, were in town last
week. O. O.

WooDBRiDGE, Fla. — Albert Buckwell
says that oranges and other citrus
fruits have been rapidly going to mar-
ket for some weeks, in spite of the diffi- '
culty in finding the necessary help. The
wages paid to laborers run from $1.25
up. There has been very little cold
weather here; not enough to hurt poin-
settias or cannas. At Sanford lettuce
has been ready for shipment since
about the middle of December.

Wiosor and White Enchantress

Strong Rooted Cottiags, Now Ready for Delivery

11/1 lUCDIl has proved to be the flnest carnation In the liirht pink class. We sold a large qnantity of ttlast year, but there will be
WW ■ I ^ ^^^ ■* a much larger tale for It this year. At the EagllBh Carnation Show held in Uecember, it was the winner in the light
pink class. It is doing well everywhere, and will supplant everything in that color.

'*■■■ ■ *- ■-•^^^■■'•i^ ■ ■»*-.<^^ QeBh pinks. It has all the good qualities of the common Enchantress— long stem,
earlinesB, large site, freedom, etc. In oar opinion. It is by far tbe best white carnation ever introduced.

We have a splendid stock of both Winsor and White Enchantress ready for immediate delivery, and will «ruarantee perfect satisfaction
with th>> cuttluKS supplied. Do not wait, because tbe demand for these varieties is bound to be enormous. Order early. 'wbUe ^e can

State of Trade.

Trade has been brisk for the last two
weeks. There has been no let-up to fu-
neral work. Stock is coming in finely.
Eoses are fine and of good color, espe-
cially Maids. Carnations are coming in
heavily but a great many are split, which
the growers cannot account for. Tulips
are making their appearance in good
quantity, but are short-stemmed. Other
bulb stock is abundant. Freesias are
coming in i|vell, also azaleas in large quan-
tity, which help to make a nice store
display. The outlook is encouraging, as
there is plenty of stock in sight now,
something we have not had since Christ-
mas.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club held a short busi-
ness meeting Tuesday evening, January
14. After the meeting we had plenty of
music and the social hop took place. The
club will give another dance m the near
future on a larger scale. Next meeting
is bowling night.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

The above picture showa the Kerantnm garden of L.onla P. Faolk, Florist
of Ross Township, Allegheny Co., Fa.

This picture was taken Sept. 6, 1907, the day before we started to make the geranium cuttings The operator
stood too close to the bed of geraniums, as it only shows about two-thirds of the garden. This bed contains 3,000
geraniums, composed of 13 varieties— the leading 13 selected out of over 50 varieties— the BIO 18 which are the
leading geraniums for retail purposes about Pittsburg.

I run a first-class retail business and always demand the highest prices, give every variety a good test. I us-
ually grow from 20,000 to 25,000 geraniums and have retailed pretty near all of them each season. The varieties are
A. Ricard, S. A. Nutt, Marvel, Beaute Poitevine, Jean Viaud, Kleber, Castries, Mme. Jaulin, Mrs.
E. 6. Hill, Jean de la Brete, Mme. Buchner and Beauty, a large single salmon; and also my New

Geranium H. L. HARTMAN

The latter variety is a beautiful, bright, deep rose-
pink and it ranks next to A. Bicard, as it is classed
first in geraniums, and H. L. Hartman will be classed
second. You can see this variety at the left of the
picture. The color takes white in a photograph. This
variety grows very bushy and dwarf, joints close,
making it easy to propagate. This geranium is the
best bloomer and makes the largest truss of any
geranium grown. The truss is so large that it forms
a round ball when in full bloom. The color arranges
so nicely with other varieties that when left out of
these other varieties it is missed, just as much as if

you were to leave out A. Bicard. The center of the
upper part of each floret is shaded to orange-scarlet,
making it one of the prettiest geraniums grown. It is
full semi-double. One batch of 1,500 in 4-inch pots
in the greenhouse came into full bloom the week of
Decoration Day, 1907, and were all sold in three days
at $2 per dozen. A florist from Syracuse, N. Y., saw
them and said it was the finest geranium he -ever had
seen; he bought 200 of my stock plants from 2^4 -inch
pots. For further particulars and prices, as I have a
few more left to sell, please write to me, or watch the
Florists' Beview.

PETUNIA AMERICAN FAVORITE

I shall introduce to the trade my new petunia
American Favorite. This grand novelty is to petunias
what the American Beauty is to roses. It ranks first.
In habit this petunia is dwarf and bushy, one of the
very Eest bloomers.. The flowers are very large and
full double, exceedingly fragrant. A bed of two or
three dozen of this petunia is equal to a bed of roses,
as the flowers run from almost pure white to the
darkest shades in petunia colors. There will be as
high as 12 to 15 different colors on one stock at a
time, ranging from light to dark mixed and striped.
It is a perfect beauty. It is one of the best petunias
for a pot plant for market. They have three or four

different colors on a plant in a 4-inch pot, and sell
readily at 25 cents each. Everybody admires the
American Favorite petunia. This petunia comes in
bloom very small and continues blooming long after
all other varieties quit in the fall, I have several
other double petunias and all of them quit blooming
after the first frost (September 26, 1907), but Ameri-
can Favorite continued in full bloom. I covered them
every night from October 14, the night of the first
heavy frost, until November 10, when I cut them up
for cuttings. I now introduce it to the Trade. Every
Florist should have a hundred or more of this novelty
this season. For prices and further particulars watch
the Florists' Beview, or write

DETROIT.

The Market.

Business opened up nicely for the
latter part of January. Shipments are
not. l?irge at present and everything
cleans up well.

Roses are none too plentiful. White
roses are really a scarce article. Car-
nations are coming in a little more plen-
tifully than for some time and the' stock
is good. Considerable bulbous stock
helps out.

Romans are about the only thing that
could be called plentiful.

- Qtib Meeting.

The last regular meeting of the Detroit
Florists' Club was held the evening of
January 15. There was but a small at-
tendance as compared with other meet-
ings.

The subject of the evening was the
flower show question. A red-hot argu-
ment, to use the president's expression,
followed the committee's report. The
pros and cons were about equally divided
and nothing definite was done.

It was decided to hold a special meet-
ing at the club room on the evening of
January 21, to settle the question of
having a show.

Various Notes.

The writer called at the home of the
club's president, E. A. Scribner, and
found that worthy gentleman laid up
with the grippe. Friday night, January
17, was the first time since being in
business that Mr. Scribner had to trust
some one else to look after the green-
houses. Mrs. Scribner has also been in
the powerful grasp of the grippe for
over a week.

State Society Meeting.

At the annual meeting of the State
Florists' Association, held at the Com-
mercial Club January 15, it was unani-
mously decided to extend an invitation
to the Carnation Society to hold its con-
vention in this city in 1909. There was a
good attendance present, both from the
city and state, and if the society sees
fit to accept the invitation, a banner at-
tendance and a good time generally is
assured. The election of oflScers for the
ensuing year resulted as follows: Presi-
dent, J. S. Stuart, of Anderson; first
vice-president, H. Junge; second vice-
president, Chas. Knopf, of Eichmond;
secretary, A. F. J. Baur; treasurer,
Homer Wiegand.

The B., K. & B. Floral Co., of Rich-
mond, made a fine exhibit with its new
carnations Sarah Hill and Lawson-En-
chantress, both of which made a very
favorable impression on all. Mr. Bar-
ick, of Seymour, had some very good
Enchantress and Eose-pink Enchantress.
Baur & Smith set up a vase of May.

The out-of-town members present were
Messrs. Hill, Knopf and Evans, of Rich-
mond; Stuart & Haugh, of Anderson;
W. W. Coles and W. A. Bitler, of Ko-
komo; Geo. Moore, of Rushville; M. A.
Barick, of Seymour, and C. S. Barnaby,
of Columbus.

The Richmond florists invited the Indi-
anapolis push to visit them sometime in
February, and we will all be there, with
thanks. S.

Business continues to be good, but
mostly funeral work. We have had sev-

and then, to keep us busy all the week.
Plant trade is not as good as it might be.

One day last week I picked about a
dozen dandelion blooms in my yard; but
now we are having cold weather, with
the sun nice and bright, bringing us
good stock. Roses, carnations, hyacinths,
narcissi, valley and daffodils are in fine
shape and bring good prices.

January 23, 1908.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

There has been a decided improve-
ment in the movement of all kinds of
cut flowers, which means a good, clean
market.

Eoses are a little short in supply, but
carnations are coming in quite heavily
and have been well cleaned up. Tulips,
narcissi, Eomans and valley have all
been moving better than before. There
has been a heavy call for double violets,
as well as for both callas and Harrisii.

Various Notes.

John Kirchner, of Quincy avenue and
East Sixty-seventh street, has a fine
house of Boston ferns in pots, which
will be just right for spring trade.
Quantities of bulb stock are grown here,
the Romans and tulips being exception-
ally good. Mr. Kirchner may well be
proud of the good condition of the place.

Frank Smith, of Smith & Fetters, has
been called to the east, where his sister
has been critically ill.

F. W. GriflSn has added a fine collec-
tion of oil and water color paintings in
flowers, which give his store a very artis-
tic appearance.

Smith & Fetters had a beautiful win-
dow of decorated Lorraine begonias last
week.

Knoble Bros, report a marked im-
provement in trade last week.

George Neubert has been sending in a
fine cut of stevia.

Paul Kunze, of Eice avenue, has had
some good hunting lately, having shot
two foxes at Bedford.

The J. M. Gasser Co. has been show-
ing some fine window displays the last
few days.

Visitors: Mr. Schwake, representing
Charles Meyer. B.

Birmingham, Ala. — A quantity of
household supplies was stolen from
Theodore Smith's buggy recently, while
the vehicle was standing in front of a
store. Mr. Smith reported the matter
first to a patrolman and then went to
police headquarters.

The New Seedling

CANNA

In color it is a beautiful dark salmon pink, slightly flecked with crimson. Flower is large and of
much substance, with large rounding petals slightly recurved. It blooms early and continuously, pro-
ducing large trusses of bloom earned about 12 inches above the foliage, which is dark green with
very broad, heavy leaves edged with bronze. This is one of the most rapid and vigorous growers we
know of, and a grand bedding plant. Height, 4 feet. It was on exhibition at Jamestown Exposition,
where we were awarded a Diploma and Silver Medal. We have accumulate<l a large stock of this
grand new Canna before otTering it, and by so doing we are enabled to offer it at S5c each;
$S.50 per doE.; $18.00 per 100.

We also grow large quantities of all of the standards and a long list of the novelties, over 200
varieties in all. If you have never bought of us, ask for our miotations: or better still, send us a trial
order. Our stock and prices are right. We also grow Kudzu Vines in ijuantitv.

CAPAQTY OF BOILER.

What extent of glass can be cared
for, here in Connecticut, by a tubular
boiler fifteen feet long, four feet in
diameter, and containing forty-four tubes
three inches in diameter? The boiler
was tested at seventy-five pounds be-
fore being removed to this place. Also
what extent of glass will the boiler carry
using it as a water boiler? The grate
is five feet long and forty-four inches
wide. The temperature desired is 60
degrees in zero weather. A. H. D.

The boiler in question will care for
about 4,000 square feet of radiation,
which should be sufficient for about 18,-
000 square feet of glass at 60 degrees,
or five houses 20x100, heated by hot
water. If used on a steam basis it
will do considerably more — about 24,-
000 square feet, or seven houses 20x100.

L. C. C.

PIPING FOR EXTENDED HOUSES.

I have four houses, each 17x100, with
sides three feet high. I have a 3-inch
flow an^ seven 2-inch returns in each
house. I wish to make the houses 150
feet long this year. Will the 3-inch flow
continued be suflScient to heat the houses
to 45 degrees in zero weather, in this
New Jersey climate? If not, what
changes are necessary? I would like to
use all the old pipe. W. C. P.

The 3-inch flow will be large enough
to supply the 150-foot houses on a 45-
degree basis. I believe, however, that
it will be better to install nine instead
of seven 2-inch returns, even in your lo-
cality, unless you are growing violets or
lettuce, which would not be injured by a
few degrees of cold in severe weather.

L. C. C.

STEAM FROM DISTANT BOILER.

I should like your opinion on some
piping I have in \iew, as our place is
a little differently situated from most
plants. I think Mr. Scott's idea (by
the way, the ' ' Florists ' Manual ' ' is well
worth $50 a copy to beginners, or any
one else, in fact, instead of $5), of car-
rying, say, fifty pounds of steam on
the boiler and reducing to two or five
pounds, by the use of a controlling valve,
is the only correct idea in point of ef-
ficiency.

The Standard
Steam Trap

Is acknowledged the best for the
florist because it is durable, and does
its work without trouble and annoy-
ance, saving: its cost by the economy
Id coal bills.

E. HIPPARD, •Youngstown, Ohio

Mention The Review when you write.

We have an industry that requires sev-
enty or eighty pounds of steam through
the day and part of the night. Across
an unused street, we also have an acre
and a half of ground, on which we ex-

we also expect to move the houses we

to the houses directly opposite, which
will be a little below the level of the
boiler. It will be easy to pipe the
houses, which are on a little slope, but
the trouble will be the condensation,
which cannot be very well returned to
the boiler, as it would be almost too
long a lift for a pump. What would
you consider the best plan, and how could
we keep the boiler supplied with water
when there might not be a fireman around
for two or three hours at a time, of

longer during the night, to start the
injector?

How long could a boiler be left, gen-
erally speaking, with fifty pounds of
steam, before it would fall below five
pounds' pressure, provided the boiler
is properly proportioned to the plant to
be heated, and a good grade of soft
coal is used! Would it not be hard to
get the far end of the pipes in the heat-
ing coil as hot as the end near the
steam supply? H. C. S.

It is a simple matter to heat the
greenhouses from a high pressure plant,
but I doubt the economy of running the
boilers at high pressure merely for heat-
ing purposes.

It is diflScult to estimate the loss of
water from the boiler while the steam
pressure is diminishing through waste
from the heating plant. Unless there
is a decided difference between the level
of the boiler and that of the green-
houses, and if the piping in the green-
houses can be installed in the customary
way, so as to return the water of con-
densation near the point where the feed

)ipe enters the houses, then the instal-
ation of a hot well and a return steam
trap should carry practically all the
water back to the boiler, so that ther<'_
would be little danger from loss of
water. Just how long a boiler under
these conditions will hold steam I can-
not say, but should think that witli
the fires properly banked it should not
fall below five pounds in two to three
hours. This will depend, however, upon
the amount of radiation to be supplied.
By the addition of a diaphragm valve
the drafts could be automatically con-
trolled, so as to place the plant on an
independent basis for a much longer time.

The annual dinner of the Tarrytown
Horticultural Society was held January
15, with the usual attendance of the
town's horticultural enthusiasts as well

dent Robert Angus introduced Dr. Rus-

mostly the well known amateurs of the
region. John E. Lager, of Summit, N.

the trade preas representatives were

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

jANnABT 23, 1908.

NEW ORLEANS.

Various Notes.

Thursday night, January 16, a cold
wave passed over New Orleans, fresh
enough to keep many florists from at-
tending the monthly meeting of the New
Orleans Horticultural Society, and there
was no quorum.

Owing, no doubt, to a steady cold win-
ter, business in plants is dull. Cut flow-
ers are in good demand, bulb stock be-
ing disposed of as fast as in good shape.
The field roses went dormant and will
not show many flowers for about two
months.

R. Eichling, with U. J. Virgin, has
had callas in full bloom for some time.
He grows them in pots and finds them
doing better than in the ground. His
Paper White narcissi and Roman hya-
cinths are grown outside in frames pro-
tected by glass. He cuts Paper Whites
with stems twelve to eighteen inches
long, about twelve florets to the spray.
They are certainly as nice as can be
grown and stronger than when forced in
flats. He uses only cold storage valley
and, with good pips, he is exception-
ally successful. U. J. Virgin grows an
immense quantity of bulbs to supply his
store. For the next month, until Mardi
gras, the demand for bulb stock will be
large. A larger business than before is
being anticipated this year.

James A. Newsham has a flower of
Cypripedium villosum. It is not found
in many collections of orchids and is
rare. The outline of the flower is odd.
At his place he says that his house of
callas is in perfect bloom.

Frank Brocker, head gardener at the
City park, is busy moving his plants to
the new greenhouse. It will be the best
equipped house around here in every re-
spect. The boiler is a Henderson and
the piping is so arranged that it can be
regulated to send more or less heat into
different parts of the house. The propa-
gating house is unusually large, as a
large number of bedding plants must be
grown. A quantity of hotbed sashes also
are used. . M. M. L.

LiNDENWOLD, N. J. — S. E. & H. D.
Moore say that new properties are
steadily being developed in this vicinity
and they look forward to a better busi-
ness in 1908 than they had last year.

East Liverpool, O. — At the green-
houses of the Lake Newell Floral Co.
one of the interesting sights is a growth
of fine mushrooms surrounding a bed of
sweet peas. The soil provided for the
sweet peas seems to be well suited for ,
the production of a healthy crop of
mushrooms.

The American Carnation Society Holds Its Seventeenth

NEXT MEETING PLACE, INDIANAPOLIS, IND., JANUARY, 1909.

With an exhibition which for uniform
high quality of stock and for number
of novelties has never been surpassed
and seldom equaled in its seventeen
years of activity, the American Carna-
tion Society held its annual convention
and display of cut blooms at Washing-
ton, D. C, this week. The national cap-
ital is an ideal convention city, with its
many points of interest to add to the
attendance and its large hotel capacity
to provide for the comfort of the vis-
itors, and the number of carnation
growers present was up to the best pre-
vious records, although the western rep-
resentation was not large. Many old-
timers were absent, but the result of
last year's excursion to Canada was
shown in an increased delegation from
the Dominion, under the pilotage of
John H. Dunlop, who has oeen a "reg-
ular" for many years.

The interest in the business sessions
was good and the joint sessions with
the American Breeders' Association
added to the fidelity with which the
members discharged their duty to the
society. But while the papers were
closely listened to and the discussions
alive with good points, it was the dis-
play in the lower hall that held the
chief interest and repaid the closest
scrutiny. Aside from the points gained
in intimate exchange of views between
the members, which many consider the
best part of the annual gathering of
carnation enthusiasts, the opportunity
to compare the novelties with the best
varieties in commerce constitutes the
niain attraction of the meetings.

The novelties shown this year were
not only more numerous than usual, but
the quality showed that the improve-
ment of the carnation has by no means
reached an end; in fact, it looks as
though it is now progressing with
greater celerity than ever. Alma Ward,
t'le splendid white of the Cottage
Gardens Co., which received the S. A.
^- silver medal at Toronto, captured the
P''emier award, the gold medal, which
^■:?3 not awarded to any variety last
y' ^T. Mr. Ward also had another fine
JJ^ng in Mrs. C. W. Ward, pink. Of
the. varieties going out this year almost
^'i were creditably shown and some

were in grand shape, whiie the vicissi-
tudes of travel had left its mark on
others. Afterglow was fine. The Wan-
oka Greenhouses, Barneveld, N. Y.,
staged Apple Blossom, Climax and Wan-
oka, all in good shape. Splendor came
from Stevenson Bros., Maryland grow-
ers. J. D. Cockcroft had Georgia, Har-
vard and others. Jensen & Dekema had
a vase of Defiance in good shape con-
sidering its long journey. The B., K. &
B. Floral Co., Bichmond, Ind., had
Sarah Hill, Lawson-Enchantress, and
Mrs. Charles Knopf in good form. Creole
Beauty, from Ward, is a fine crimson.
Andrew Carnegie, by the Chicago Car-
nation Co., Joliet, III., won first on its

entry, and this firm, by the way, did
wonderfully well on all its exhibits, con-
sidering that they left home Sunday to
be judged Tuesday afternoon. H. W.
Field staged Gov. Seelye and No. 100,
white. Joseph Heacock also had a No.
100 seedling, but his was like Eose-pink
Enchantress, M. Tierney put up a fine
vase of Mrs. Robt. Hartshorne, red, and
John Beimels also had a good one in
this color, No. 52. Toreador, by H. Weber
& Sons Co., was one of the striking
vases. T. J. McClintock had two whites
and a pink and there were good exhib-
its of Viola Sinclair, pink; Snowflake,
white; Flavins, yellow; Ruby, pink,
and several others of which only a lim-
ited quantity was shown. To give an
idea of how some of the general classes
filled, there were twelve entries in the
class for fifty of the Eose-pink En-
chantress, Welcome and Winsor color.

The society elects its judges and the
three are W. N. Rudd, Wm. Nicholson
and Wm. Scott, but Mr. Scott is ill and
Eugene Dailledouzetook his place. Al-
though all was ready at the appointed
hour, thanks to the energy displayed by
the hospitable Washingtonians in per-
fecting arrangements, the task of judg-
ing was so gr at that Peter Fisher, M.

A. Patten and S. J. Renter were selected
to help out by covering classes A and

B. The task was performed to the com-
plete satisfaction of all, the hall being
closed only two hours.

The Opening Session.

The first business session was called
to order at 8 p. m. Tuesday, January 28,
in the hall above the exhibition, by
Peter Bisset, president of the Washing-
ton Florists' Club, who, after speaking
a few words of welcome for the trade
in Washington, introduced Commission-
er McFarland, whose job in the District
corresponds to the mayoralty in other
cities. He has the typical mayor's gift
of felicitous oratory,' but said he need

A. F. J. Baur.

(Vice-president Elect American Carnation Society.)

American Carnation Society. Today the
seventeenth president has the privilege
and honor of sharing in the expression
of thanks and appreciation for the hos-
pitable reception and cordial welcome ex-
tended by the convention city.

It must be remembered at this time
that the real work of preparation for this
convention has been done by our most
worthy vice-president, Peter Bisset, and
his able assistants in Washington. Allow
me to express at this time my personal
appreciation of the unfailing courtesy
and the untiring zeal and activity of the
vice-president, which, together with the
efficient services of the secretary, made
possible this most successful exhibition
and convention.

The Society'! Certificate.

Eeference has frequently been made
during the last few years to the subject
of the society's certificate; it is a pleas-
ure to refer to the eminently sensible
and correct settlement of the controversy
at the convention in Toronto last year.
The remarks on the subject by our hon-
ored member, W. N. Eudd, contain the
best exposition of the aims and province
of the American Carnation Society to be
found in all the society's literature. It
is indeed true, as stated in those remarks,
that ' ' the certificate is nothing except an
opinion of the quality of the flower shown
at the exhibition. The commercial value
of carnations must be shown in other
ways; and it is beyond the ability of this
society, beyond its province, to attempt
to say whether or not a certain carnation
shall prove a profitable investment to the
buyer. ' ' I wish at this time to most em-
phatically endorse this position in rela-

not offer the keys of the city, as most
mayors do, for it is considered that
every American citizen has the same
interest in the capital city as has the
resident there, and feels equally at
home. He spoke of last year's meeting
having been at Toronto and referred to
the evidence that the Carnation Society
is American in fact as well as in name.
He told of William McKinley's love for
the carnation and referred with feeling
to the coincidence that he was welcom-
ing an organization of other lovers of
the divine flower upon the eve of Mc-
Kinley's birthday anniversary, a day
always generally observed in Washing-
ton.

Chairman Bisset introduced' F. R.
Pierson, of Tarrytown, N. Y., to respond
and he, too, paid tribute to McKinley's
memory, speaking also of the impetus
given the carnation by the martyred
President's favor. He said there is no
north, no south, no east, no west, and no
dividing line between Canada and the
United States in things horticultural.

J. H. Dunlop, who presided last year,
was introduced to speak for Canada. He
spoke of the interest Toronto took in
the visit of the society in 1907 and of
the value the exhibition had been to
the trade. He also pointed out the
coincidence that at Boston in 1890 the
S. A. F. voted to meet the next year at
Toronto and went thence to Washing-
ton, just as the Carnation Society did in
1906.

Mr. Bisset then turned the gavel over
to President Fred H. Lemon, who read
his annual address, as follows:

President's Address.

It has been the custom for a number
of years for the president to share in ex-
tending a welcome to the members of the

tion to new varieties and to urge the so-
ciety to encourage in every way possible
the production of new kinds, and espe-
cially the exhibiting of new things at our
annual shows.

Value of Society*! Bndoricment.

There has been a decided inclination,
during the past few years, to belittle the
value of the showing made by a carna-
tion at the American Carnation Society
exhibition. Opinions of this kind have
been expressed by many prominent mem-
bers and have even crept into a number
of addresses by our past presidents. I
desire to especially emphasize my opin-
ion that any variety which can win the
American Carnation Society medal, or
obtain first place in one of our open to all
classes, must possess many points of ex-
ceptional merit. The fact of its winning
is prima facie evidence, and is incontro-
vertible, for the judgment is the ex-
pressed belief of at least two, and more
often three, of the leading experts of the
country, that such variety has produced
blooms superior to any others of its class.
The trade at large, and particularly mem-
bers of this society, should accept this at
its full value; that is to say, they should
recognize such action as coming from the
highest tribunal and as being the best
opinion obtainable in the United States
on the subject. The idea that the Amer-
ican Carnation Society does thereby guar-
antee such variety to be a profitable one
to grow commercially is a false position
and should be avoided in the future. The
society as a body can possess only the
prescience of its integral parts, its indi-
vidual members, and what man among us
can unfailingly predict a carnation's fu-

ture, even after studying the variety
from all vantage points?

The production of fine blooms is a
prime requisite and with this alone should
the society concern itself, leaving prophe-
cies as to the probable future of a vari-
ety to individual judgment.

Just as long as I remain a practical
grower of carnations I shall consider the
grant of a certificate or medal by the
American Carnation Society as the high-
est recommendation possible and amply
sufficient proof of merit to justify a

ciety. This should be done for the pur-
pose of increasing the number of exhib-
its in these classes. The judges may be
depended on to properly sift such candi-
dates.

Ezhibiti of Camationi in Poti.

Eeference has been made annually,
since the inception of this society, to the
proposed exhibition of carnations in pots.
Ex-president Rackham spoke of the mat-
ter in his address at Detroit. John Bir-
nie made a strong plea for such varieties

could be sent here for test as to their
adaptability to American conditions and
markets? Probably some exchange of
novelties could be made between growers
in the United States and those in Eng-
land for this purpose. A great deal of
interest is now being taken in American
varieties over in England, and the same
thing is likely to happen with English
varieties in the United States; hence it
would be well for the American Carna-
tion Society to take the first steps aiming
toward cooperation.

thorough test and earnest effort to grow
the variety as well as it has been grown
by the raiser.

Due R(Cos:nition of Merit.

However, there is one point in this con-
nection which does come within the prov-
ince of this society, and ^ that is, the
proper recognition of merit which has
been abundantly proven. Seven years
ago, at Indianapolis, when the fatal ill-
ness of the' president, Wm. J. Berter-
mann, placed me in the position of acting
chairman, I suggested that the society
ought to take some action commending
the raiser of any oarnation which has
proved itself the premier variety of its
class for a number of successive years.
No attention was given the suggestion at
that time, but my opinion has not
changed on the subject. I believe that
when any variety wins first prize- in any
Class A (open to all) section, for three
successive years, the raiser of such vari-
ety should be granted the soeiety's gold
medal, fittingly engraved, as ah award
of sterling merit. It is at least a sub-
ject worthy of discussion.

There ought also to be a sweepstakes
prize covering Class A (open to all) sec-
tions.

To refer again to the certificate classes,
I believe that the entrance fees, in both
preliminary and final certificate classes,
should be omitted except when such cer-
tificate is granted, and that the only re-
striction placed on exhibiting in these
classes should be membership in the so-

in his able paper at Toronto last year.
Now, to accomplish anything in this line
will require a radical step by the society
and it may as well be taken at once.
Offer a good, substantial prize for the
best collection of plants in bloom in pots.
To do this, reduce the breadth and scope
of Class B, which, as it now stands, tends
toward monotony in the exhibition.

Also, if it were possible to so divide
the money devoted to premiums as to ad-
mit of it, a certain amount ought to be
devoted each year to exhibitions showing
the adaptability of the carnation to recep-
tion and wedding decorations. Competi-
tive contests among Jocal retail men are
nqt practicable, but some prominent retail
man might be selected to prepare some
such exhibit each year, as this would in-
terest the public greatly and add to the
beauty of the exhibition.

' English Competition.

The very valuable papers from foreign
carnation growers last year, together with
the reports appearing in our trade papers
from time to time, indicate the rapid
strides being taken by our co-workers in
England in the development of the ever-
blooming carnation. Such reports should
stimulate the activity in America, for we
should xetain our supremacy in this line.

Taking into consideration the formida-
ble competition in the securing of new
varieties of carnations which the English
breeders have now presented, would it
not be a good thing to make some ar-
rangement whereby new English sorts

Regiitration of New Varietiei.

In the matter of the registration of
new varieties, the opinion has been ex-
pressed by interested members that the
society ought to omit all superfluous ver-
biage as to whether the new variety is
better than others of its kind, and give
simply the name, the parentage, the date
when the cross was made, and the color.
A uniform registration blank should be
adopted and this should avoid any ap-
pearance of indorsing the good qualities
of a new kind.

At the Chicago convention in 1907 an
action was passed authorizing the offer-
ing of American Carnation Society cer-
tificates at the fall exhibitions in our
leading cities, and the appointment of
judges for such exhibits. There was a
committee appointed with power to act,
but the plan never was carried out. This
should be taken up and some definite ac-
tion taken. The S. A. F. invited the co-
operation of our society in the national
flower show to be held in Chicago in
November of this year, and we should
offer our certificate and medals at that
great exhibition.

It is with great pleasure that I look
forward to the joint meetings with the
American Breeders' Association. I hope
and believe that much of benefit to the
practical grower may result from the
joint discussion on "Carnation Breed-
ing." If there is anything tangible as
regards Mendel's law in relation to the
breeding of carnations, it should be
brought out at this time.

JANUABT 30, 1908.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

15

The business sessions of the conven-
tion in Toronto were the best attended
of any convention in a number of years.
I am counting on the members to surpass
that record in Washington.

In closing, I desire again to join with
the visiting members of this society in
appreciation of the efforts of the Wash-
ington florists, which have made possible
a successful convention.

It is a high honor to be chosen presi-
dent of the best, most businesslike and
most effective florists' organization in
the United States, and I thank you most
heartily for that honor.

On motion of W. N, Budd the chair
was directed to appoint a committee of
three to consider the recommendations
in the president's address and report
ways and means for making the sugges-
tions operative. Mr. Rudd, A. F. J.
Baur and J. R. Fotheringham were ap-
pointed as such committee.

Secretary Albert M. Herr then read
his annual report, as follows:

Secretary's Report.

Your secretary reports having issued
the regular printed matter of the society
during the past year. Our annual report
was more complete than usual, thanks to
our stenographer and the fact that, being
from my own city, it could be worked
out to better advantage than could pos-
sibly be done by correspondence.

The premium list and dates for the
meeting were discussed and adopted at
the meeting of the board of directors
held in Philadelphia last August, quite a

ing of the show in 1909, With exhibitors,
judges, and the board of directors all
present, mistakes and friction could be
avoided. The exhibitor, being the first
consideration in our shows, should have
first consideration in our premium list.

In the opinion of your secretary, the
matter of advertising in our premium list
should be dispensed with. The members
do not patronize it to any extent, even
after personal solicitation, and it is hard
to get outsiders to look upon it as a good
business proposition. For the one issued
this year a circular letter was sent to all
members of this society, followed by a
personal letter to the possible advertisers
— in some casea two or three. In addi-
tion to this, personal letters were sent to
about 400 other advertisers, with the re-
sults shown before you. The getting up
of the premium list, aside from the solici-
tations, is almost as much work as get-
ting out the annual report, and after de-
ducting the extra cost of printing there
is such a small margin of profit that it is
hardly just to your secretary to pile all
of this work upon him,

A pet schema of my own was tried this
year and an invitation sent to every flo-
rist, within a radius of 100 miles from
the meeting place, to join the society.
The responses were two new members
and several inquiries, a result that teaches
its own lesson.

In addition to all of the foregoing,
there have been about 700 pieces of mail,
mostly personal letters in response to in-
quiries, and the regular correspondence

to be done and for which the society is
not in a position to pay an adequate sal-
ary, so that in making your selection it
will be the part of wisdom to select a
secretary who has leisure time to devote
to this work and one who employs clerical
help, to whom can be given the routine
part of the work. Your present incum-
bent, having served this society for thir-
teen years, feels that with another year's
service to break the hoodoo, he has borne
his share of the work and that some one
more competent and better able to give
the time and labor required should take
it up and carry it on to completion.

Treasurer F. E. Dorner presented his
annual report. It showed the society's
financial condition to be as follows:

For the nomenclature committee, con-
sisting of A. M. Herr, A. Herringtoii
and Eugene Dailledouze, Mr. Herr pre-
sented a report as follows:

"Your committee reports the regis-
tration of four seedlings and three
sports for the past year, a very poor

few changes being made in the premium
list and a three days' session agreed upon
as an experiment, all of which was duly
announced through the trade papers.

It has since developed that a portion
of intending exhibitors are not able to
get their flowers through in time for stag-
ing by 1 p. m. Tuesday. I would sug-
gest that a portion of our meeting be set
aside for the purpose of adopting a pre-
mium list, a set of rules governing the ex-
hibition and the best date for the open-

between this office, your president and
the board of directors.

Your secretary requests that, unless
you have selected a successor for the com-
ing year, he be continued in office for one
year longer, in order to use up stationery
and other matter that would have to bo
changed and lost if a new one were
elected, and that he then be released. The
work of this society is increasing in a
ratio of about three to one as compared
to membership. It is a work that ought

novelties described in our trade papers.
"We would suggest that a circular
letter be gotten up for use by the chair-
man of this committee, to mail to a
grower as soon as he describes a new
carnation in any of the trade papers.
This letter should show the advantages
of and the necessity for registration
and demand that he register the name
of his variety if he has any intention
of growing it commercially. We, of
course, cannot compel registration, but

we can demand it as our right, and
there are very few growers, members
of this society or not, who would not
honor the demand.

"Another point for action by your
society is the numerous increase of
sports that are being put on the market
each year. Your committee recommends
that each of these sports be given a dis-
tinct name, and where offered to the
trade as rooted cuttings that the de-
scription announce what they are a
sport from. As it now stands, we have

Wednesday evening the judges pre-
sented a supplementary report scoring
W. N. Rudd's light pink seedling 89
points and his white seedling 86.

Special Exhibits.

Among the special exhibits were:

Two splendid vases of Mrs. Jardine
rose, staged by W. P. Craig, Philadel-
phia. The judges specially commented
on its fragrance.

A fine vase of Queen Beatrice rose
from F. H. Kramer, artistically staged
on a bank of adiantum.

An especially good vase of Rhea Reid

rose, staged by the E. G. Hill Co., Rich-
mond, Ind.

A fine specimen plant of Nephrolepis
Superbissima, from F. R. Pierson Co.,
Tarrytown, N. Y.

Three fine, vases of Boston, the big
new single violet grown by Wm. Sim,
Cliftondale, Mass.

Baur Floral Co., Erie, Pa., the pliers
for mending bursted carnation calyxes,
the demonstrator being very expert.

Lord & Burnham Co., New York, pho-
tographs and printed matter on green-
house construction.

Eagle Machine Works, Richmond,
Ind., a carnation support.

Buxton & Allard, Nashua, N. H., the
Economy greenhouse bracket.

Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, exhib-
ited drawings and photographs showing
their boiler and system of heating as
applied in well known establishments.

W. N. Rudd's seedlings, unnamed, a
big light pink and a fine white, arrived
Wednesday and were staged in splendid
shape, considering that they had been
in the boxes forty-eight hours. C. E.
Marshall also staged some good seed-
lings Wednesday.

Wednesday Morning.

At the opening hour Wednesday
morning Dr. B. T. Galloway was in-
troduced to report on the work with
the carnation done by the Department
of . Agriculture. He illustrated his re-
marks with a chart, and at the close
many questions were asked and an-
swered. Dr. Galloway said that the
work done had proven conclusively
that plants grown under glass all sum-
mer are superior in every way and give
a greatly increased yield. It is said
that bone is valueless and stable ma-
nure the ideal fertilizer for carnations.
Propagation from selected plants not
only maintains vigor but increases pro-
duction. Sandy soils tend toward
shorter stems than are produced on
clay soil. When clear water will not
eradicate red spider, a five-cent bar of
Ivory or any neutral soap shaved and

'dissolved in a gallon of water, subse-
quently diluted with four gallons of
warm water and sprayed on with a
Vermorel or Climax nozzle, will do the
work. An hour later wash off the soap
and repeat every ten days until the
plants are dean.

Indianapolis Next Year.

There were lively times in the selec-
tion of next meeting place. After sev-
eral speakers had recounted the advan-
tages of the two cities, a ballot, with A.
F. J. Baur and Fred Burki as tellers,
showed 166 members present and 83
votes for Indianapolis and 83 for Pitts-
burg. To decide the tie and, inasmuch
as Indianapolis withdrew last year in
favor of Washington, I. S. Crall, of
Pittsburg, moved to make it unanimous
for Indianapolis.

A discussion of the premium list re-
sulted in the adoption of a resolution
offered by W. N. Rudd endorsing this
year's list as satisfactory in its essen-
tial features. The directors later held a
meeting and framed up the list for the
Indianapolis show.

It was announced that the session
Thursday afternoon would be aban-
doned, as President Roosevelt extended
an invitation to a reception at the
White House at 2:30 on that day.

Joint Session.

The Carnation Society and the Amer-
ican Breeders' Association held a joint
session under the auspices of the latter
on Wednesday afternoon, C. W. Ward
presiding. Some of the papers were on
animal breeding, but the program
called for several on plant breeding, as
follows: "Original Work Among
Native Roses," by W. Van Fleet,
Little Silver, N. J.; "Some Observa-
tions in Plant Improvement," by A. M.
Soule, Athens, Ga. ; ' ' Report of Commit-
tee on Breeding Roses," by Peter Bis-
set, Washington, D. C; "Development
of the Immune or Resistant Character
in Plants," by H. L. Bolley, Fargo, J^^.

Thursday's Sessions.

The exhibition had disappeared
Thursday morning. However necessary
three days may be to dispatch the soci-
ety's business, two days is fully as
much as carnations are good for under
average conditions of growth, shipment
and staging. The public helped them-
selves "Wednesday evening and cleaned
ap every bloom. The attendance also
was light the third day, many having
gone home, while others were sight-
seeing.

The first business was election of offi-
cers, which was perfunctory and result-
ed as follows: President, M. A. Pat-
ten, Tewksbury, Mass.; vice-president,
A. F. J. Baur, Indianapolis, Ind.; sec-
retary, Albert M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa.;
treasurer, Fred Dorner, Lafayette, Ind.;
director, J. S. "Wilson, Western Springs,
111.; judges, William Nicholson, Fram-
ingham, Mass.; Peter Fisher, Ellis,
Mass.

The committee on president's address
recommended that the society's medals
be awarded as sweepstakes in Class A
instead of as now. Not concurred in.
The committee recommended that mem-
bers be charged no fees for registration
on certificate entries, non-members to
pay as now; also that no variety be
eligible for exhibition unless registered;
also that registration consist of a
statement of the history and facts with
regard to a variety instead of opinions
as to its characteristics and merits, all
superlatives to be omitted and registra-
tion to be on a blank provided for that
purpose; also that the directors may rec-
ommend to the society that a gold medal,
to be known as the medal of merit, be
awarded to the originator of any vari-

ety that has maintained its commercial
position for not less than three years.
All adopted.

Eobert Craig's motion that sports be
registered only under distinctive names
was lost. W. N. Rudd's motion that
membership be restricted to individuals
was carried.

M. A, Patten, W. P. Craig and A. J.
Baur were appointed a committee on
final resolutions.

Thursday Afternoon.
After the reception by President
Roosevelt a joint session of the Breed-
ers' Association and Carnation Society
was held, at which the papers of C. W.
Ward and Prof. Norton were read, illus-
trated with lantern slides. Messrs. Wit-
terstaetter and Fisher opened the dis-
cussion, the former with a paper.

Reception by the President.

Thursday afternoon the members of
the Carnation Society and Breeders' As-
sociation were received by President
Roosevelt in the east room at the White
House. Three magnificent vases of
Alma Ward and Mrs. C. W. Ward were
presented to the president, whose words
were to the point: "I bid you welcome
and thank you for the beautiful flowers
you have brought. Those of you who
brought your wives I wish specially to
compliment on your good taste. It will
give me pleasure to shake hands with
you all." And he did it.

The Banquet

Over one hundred visitors were guests
of the Washington Florists' Club at
a banquet Thursday evening. Presi-
dent Peter Bisset acted as toastmaster.
A number of brief talks followed the
following program of toasts:

NEV CARNATIONS.

Marchioness.

The illustration on page 16 is from
a photograph of a house at L. E. Mar-
quisee's, Syracuse, N. Y., in which he is
growing the new white seedling which he
has named Marchioness. Owing to ex-
tensive repairs and alterations, the house
was not planted till September 15 and
the photograph was taken December 9,
which will show to all good carnation
growers its rapid growth and free flower-
ing qualities. All the local florists have
closely watched it for several years and
will grow it as soon as it is disseminated.
The flowers are large, three and one-half
to four inches in diameter, high built,
double and highly clove-scented. It
likes cool treatment, 48 to 50 degrees
at night, which makes quite a saving in
the coal bill. There is not a sign of rust
or stem-rot in the 8,000 plants benched
this season.

The local weather bureau reports on
ten bright days at Syracuse for three
months, the smallest number ever re-
corded. All carnation growers will un-
derstand the unfavorable conditions un-
der which Marchioness is growing. Grow-

ers also will note the character of house
the variety is given.

Sarah Hin.

The illustration on page 17 of this
issue is reproduced from the photograph
of a bench of Carnation Sarah Hill made
December 22 at the establishment of the
B., K. & B. Ffcral Co., Eichmond, Ind.
It shows the character of growth and
the size and style of flower quite clearly.
The word enormous is hardly too strong
to apply to this variety when speaking of
its flower. It is certainly larger than
any white thus far distributed in the
trade, and the form is excellent. The

ger Carnation Exhibition.)

petals are serrated and the flower is well
built up in the center. It is pure white
and carried on long, strong stems. Mr.
Knopf says that with him, in the four
years he has grown it, it has proved much
more productive than White Perfection,
which is generally considered the best
fancy white carnation.

Lawson-Enchantress.

The illustration on page 15 of this
issue is from a photograph of a bench
of Lawson-Enchantress made at the es-
tablishment of the B., K. & B. Floral Co.,
Eichmond, Ind., December 22, 1907. This
is not a sport of Enchantress, but a
seedling of that variety, with the habit
of Enchantress and the color of Lawson.
Mr. Knopf grows it in a house with En-
chantress, giving identical treatment, and
produces similar results in growth and
productiveness. He says the trade takes
to it well, because everyone is able to do
Enchantress profitably.

Splendor.

Carnation Splendor is a seedling now
bei^ig disseminated by Stevenson Bros.,
Govanstown, Md. It has been given a
trial for four seasons and has in every
particular proved a grand commercial
variety. In color it is somewhat light-
er than Lawson. The flowers are finely
formed, averaging from three to three
and one-quarter inches in diameter,
borne on long, stiff yet graceful stems.
The calyx is perfectly formed, insuring
a non-splitting flower. It is absolutely
healthy, an early, free, and a continuous
bloomer, produces no grass and is an
"easy doer," taking a night tempera-
ture of 50 degrees. Shown on page 23.

Afterglow.

The illustration on page 13 shows a
house of Carnation Afterglow that was
planted August 8 and photographed seven
weeks later. These plants were propa-
gated the first week in April, potted
in 214-inch pots May 10, and planted
in the field June 2. The blooms could
be cut with stems ten to fourteen inches
long at the time the photograph was
taken.

President Seelye.

On page 16 of this issue there is a
reproduction of a photograph of a house
of Carnation President Seelye, which is a
new white being grown by H. W. Field,
Northampton, Mass. It is a seedling from
Mrs. Lawson and Queen, now in its fourth
year. It is a large, well formed flower,

pure white, on long stems from the start.
It is free, does not split and does its
best in a temperature of 50 degrees to
52 degrees at night. Many visitors have
inspected it at Mr. Field's this season
and all speak well of it.

Harvard.

On page 19 of this issue there is an
illustration of Harvard, a crimson
which originated four years ago, with
J. D. Cockcroft, Northport, L. T. It
was the result of a cross between Pros-
perity and Maceo, and Mr, Cockcroft
Bays it "combines the size and stem of
the former with the freedom and rapid
growth of the latter. The flowers meas-
ure from three and one-half to four
inches in diameter and are symmetrical
and well built, with deeply fringed
petals, and are splendid keepers and
shippers. A critical examination by a
disinterested party just before Christ-
mas of the 5,000 plants now being
grown disclosed not a single case of
split calyx. The stems are long, stiff
and wiry at all seasons, averaging
about twenty-four inches in length.
The plant is a rapid and vigorous
grower, with no superfluous grass, com-
ing in bloom early and continuing
throughout the season, every shoot pro-
ducing a well-formed flower. ' '

Andrew Carnegie.

Andrew Carnegie, a bloom of which
is shown on page 23, is a scarlet sport
of Harlowarden and has the character-
istics of that variety in habit of growth
and the qualities of flower. It sported
simultaneously with the Chicago Carna-
tion Co., Joliet, 111., and Jenny P. Snow,
Sharon, Mass., and is being sent out
this year by the former concern.

Georgia.

Georgia is a new fringed white that
J. D. Cockcroft intends to send out in
1909. He says it "stands in a class by
itself, as it is a commercial variety in
productiveness and a fancy one in size,
fragrance and form." It is illustrated
on page 19 of this issue.

Faust.

Carnation Faust, illustrated on this
page, is a brilliant scarlet, a shade
brighter than Victory, with wiry stems

averaging twenty to twenty-four
inches. The flowers are of medium size,
well built up, with a strong calyx. It
is a strong, healthy and clean grower,
coming into bloom early, and J. D.
Cockcroft, with whom it originated, at
Northport, L. I., says its productiveness
makes it desirable for commercial use,
especially for the Christmas trade,
when it is in full crop.

Appte Blossom.

Raised at the Wanoka Greenhouses,
Barneveld, N. Y. ; Apple Blossom is a
white with a delicate pink blending in
the center of the flower, suggesting the
delicate apple blossom of early spring.
The flowers are carried on long, stiff

stems. It is fragrant, comes early and
is free through the season. The grower,
A. O. Grassl, says "the calyx does not
split, and the flowers have excellent keep-
ing quality and ship without difficulty.
It is best grown in a night temperature
of 48 and 50 degrees. This variety i&
distinctly the bread and butter sort, it&
prodigious blooming quality making it
one of the foremost carnations of today.
Flowers average three inches through
the season." It is to be disseminated
during the season of 1908-9. A vase of
it is shown on page 22.

Wanoka.

Named from the Indian word, "Wah-
No-Kah," meaning "Just one of its
kind," H. H. Nicholson and A. O.
Grassl have a fine name for a new crim-
son carnation. The growers say: "Wa-
noka is a superb, well formed and fra-
grant crimson, being of remarkable pro-
duction, and borne on extremely long and
heavy stems which never grow soft. It
succeeds best in night temperatures of 50>
degrees, but it can be successfully grown
in higher temperature. The calyx never
splits, and the flowers average three
inches and are first-class shippers. ' ' This
variety will be disseminated during the
season of 1908-9, by the Wanoka Green-
houses, Barneveld, N. Y. It is pictured
on page 21.

Climax.

Carnation Climax is a seedling raised
at the Wanoka Greenhouses, Barneveld,
N. Y. It is illustrated on page 21 of this
issue. The originators describe it as fol-
lows: "A beautiful, well made pink,
being a shade or two deeper than En-
chantress, and a color long desired by the
growers and the public. The color does
not fade. Flowers do not have the reg-
ular form of Enchantress, are borne on
long, stiff stems and are fragrant. They
average, the season through, three inches

and from December to April are three
and one-half inches and over. Flowers
come early and the plants yield more per
season than any other light pink variety,
Enchantress included. The calyx is re-
markably strong and seldom splits; the
flower is an excellent keeper and ships
well. It is best grown in night tempera-
tures of 48 and 50 degrees. ' ' This vari-
ety will be disseminated during the sea-
eon of 1909-10.

Defiance.

The illustration on page 14 shows a
house of Carnation Defiance photographed
January 20 at the establishment of Jen-
sen & Dekema, Chicago. Defiance is a
seedling which flowered first in 1902 and
is now in its sixth year. It was raised by
W. N. Eudd. The cross was Estelle on a
scarlet seedling, having Macoo, Mrs. Mc-
Burney, Lizzie McGowan and Wm. Scott
blood in it. Its habit may be described
as a compromise between that of Maceo
and Estelle. Mr. Eudd says it retains
all, aid he believes more than, the free
bloomiag habit of Maceo. * "It is the
same compact, upright grower and pro-
duces absolutely no superfluous grass. The
color is better than Estelle and we be-
lieve it to be the brightest so-called scar-
let in cultivation. It is early and con-
tinuous in bloom. The form is fine and
under ordinary conditions it reaches a
size of three inches. The stem is longer
than that of Estelle; in fact, it is amply
long, growing from two feet to thirty
inches. It has a fine constitution and is
free from disease. We now have a bench
in good shape which was grown in the
house last year, lifted, planted in the
open ground, grown through the summer
and planted in again at the usual time in
the fall. This variety is not a show va-
riety and cannot compete on the exhibi-
tion table. We believe, however, that it
is the commercial scarlet for all purposes
and we feel sure it will make a record
for itself in dollars and cents for those
that grow it."

Carnation Wanoka.

Lloyd.

A visit paid to H. A. Jahn, New Bed-
ford, Mass., a few days before Christ-
mas showed house after house of his
new white carnation, Lloyd, in fine shape.
It can easily be called a bread and but-
ter carnation. It is next to impossi-
ble to find a split flower among all the
10,000 plants; in fact, Mr. Jahn says
that his houses have gone as low as 34
degrees and still they hardly split at all.

Lloyd originated five years ago with
Mr. Jahn, and is a pedigreed seedling.
The blooms are fully three to three and
one-half and often four inches across
and are borne on stiff stems from eight-
een inches to three feet long. It is
fragrant and a free bloomer. One day
last October Mr. Jahn picked 3,000
blooms from his 10,000 plants, all good
stock. At the beginning of January he
was picking about 1,800 blooms weekly,
which he is shipping to Boston. The
first year of this variety, from one plant
Mr. Jahn picked sixty-five flowers. It
of course was exceptional, but if any
one can beat this I would like to hear
about it. The way the plants are bloom-
ing and in such old houses, too, is a sight
the writer will never forget. What this
variety would do in a northern green-
house we leave to your own imagination.

CARNATION HYBRIDIZING.

[A paper by Richard Wltterstaetter, Clncln-
nat , O., read before the American Carnation
^i*^«**, J^*, Washington convention, Januar

^o to oO, 1808. J

Some sixteen years ago, when I firs*
undertook the work of hybridizing tn©
carnation, I had very little knowledge
of nature's law regarding the results to
be expected from crossing the standard
commercial varieties of that date, and
concluded that experiments, with a com-
plete record of the parentage and the re-
sults, were necessary. As regards color,
size, stem, form, habit, freedom, etc., I
found, while we had some very good seed-
lings that pointed up well in everything
except color-— and color is a very impor-
tant factor in a commercial carnation —
that we got quite a few variegated, pur-
ples and off colors, and very few identi-
cal to the parent color. I concluded,
therefore, that this must be nature's law
in plant life, the same as in the human
race, and that blood would tell. Hence
subsequent breeding was carried on with
that point in view; namely, scarlets in a
race by themselves, whites in theirs, and

BO on, always selecting for future work
that which came nearest to an ideal as
to color and commercial value.

Difficulty With Scarlets.

Some have held that by following this
method you lose constitution. We have
proven this to our own satisfaction to be
untrue, if a selection of vigorous parents
is made for the work. This opinion may
have arisen from the fact that a very
brilliant scarlet has no vigor to back it
up, our most vigorous scarlets being only
a fair or duU red, and if a good consti-
tution and a brilliant color are combined
the result is apt to be a slow and shy
bloomer, not up to the commercial re-
quirements. As most of my endeavors
have been devoted to the scarlet race —
amounting to about one-third of the num-
ber of the seedlings raised — I have taken
the pessimistic view that it would be
an impossibility to produce a brilliant
scarlet of free blooming quality, backed
up by a vigorous constitution. Of late
years, however, I have observed that this
will not be an impossibility.

on the semi-dofibl6,* or'^'iiOt ■ too many
petals to insure a good setting of seeds;
also guarding against parents with flow-
ers containing too many petals, as the
•result will be too many extremely double
flowers, with no calyx to speak of.

Vigor of Constitutiofi.

Constitution, next to color, is the most
important factor of a commercial carna-
tion, from a grower's point of view, and
should be given the utmost considera-
tion. The parents should be selected and
bred to such varieties as are noted for
their healthy and vigorous constitution.
We believe that in order to gain the best
results this crossing should be done dur-
ing the months of March and April,
when plants are making their most vigor-
ous and rapid growth, insuring well-de-
veloped and ripened seed.

We sometimes question whether the
condition and class of food with which
we supply the mother plant when cross-
ing, and up to the time of ripening the
seeds, are not responsible, to some extent,
for our failures or successes, as the ease
may be.

Regarding any other points of hybridi-

Camation Apple Blossom.

Qualities Sought in Breeding.

In breeding for form we always se-
lected those that had reproduced them-
selves in that point for two or three
generations, choosing one or the other of
the parents, preferably the seed parent,
and using the same as a seed parent. In
pink we do not hold so closely to the
color line, but are very particular that
whatever color is used shall be of
good, clear, strong and lively tone, not
subject to fading into dull colors, nor
easily affected by the sun.

In breeding for size we do not hesi-
tate to use a small flowered variety as a
seed parent, provided its progenitors of
the first and second generations past were
large flowered varieties; neither do we
fear to use it as a pollen parent, if it has
all the other attributes of a good com-
mercial variety.

In breeding for stem and calyx I like
to select a variety that has inherited
these good points from one or two gen-
erations past, with the bloom bordering

zation, I might suggest a strong, well-
rooted love for the work, untiring pa-
tience and perseverance, with a studious
observation of the results and with a fair
sized bank account at your disposal, until
your aim has been attained.

INTRODUCING NEV CARNATIONS.

[A paper by S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia,
read before the American Carnation Society at
the Washington convention.]

It would be hard to find in the history
of floriculture another instance of the
rapid development of a flower to equal
that of the carnation.

The divine flower has indeed sprung
into favor as if by magic wand. Un-
like the short-lived chrysanthemum or
the queen herself, the rose, the carnation
is preeminently the flower of the masses.
It is grown everywhere; it is sold every-
where; the "curb merchant," no less
than the society florist, handles it in
immense quantities. More glass is going
up, more carnations are being grown,

and the demand continually is for still
more. Nor is its popularity confined to
our own borders. England, Germany
and France depend upon our varieties;
far-away Norway and Sweden grow them
with success, and even darkest Bussia,
we are told, can do Lawson, Enchantress
and White Perfection well. Let us hope
— and you will pardon my slight di-
gression from the subject — that with the
advent of Beacon there may come a
light to brighten the hovels of the semi-
civilized, wretched peasantry in the
czar's domain.

A Prophecy Fulfilled.

When John Thorpe, but a compara-
tively short time ago, predicted that
our puny carnation of yesterday would
attain the respectable size, by actual
measurement, of four inches in diameter,
there were many among us who were
inclined at the time to treat such proph-
ecy with a four-inch grain of salt. That
prediction of Mr. Thorpe's has come
true, nevertheless. We have practically
reached the goal of our ambition. The
four-inch carnation is here, and has evi-
dently come to stay. Nor are we con-
tent to rest upon the laurels achieved.
We are aiming higher and still higher.
What was good enough a season or two
ago, does not satisfy us today. We must
have something better. It will not do
to stay the march of progress or to
check the course of evolution. Aside
from the size of the bloom itself, we
must have also stem, a long and a stiff
one at that. We must have a carnation
with a non-bursting calyx, of good col-
or, good keeping qualities, and last,
but by no means least, we insist on
varieties that will produce the flowers
and yield us dollars and cents — "bread
and butter" carnations, if I may bor-
row the stereotyped description, now and
then applied to seedlings which do not
pay for the bread, let alone the butter.

It is not my intention, however, to
point out any particular varieties, nor do
I wish to call to the bar of the grow-
ers' opinion any of the introducers of
the "bread and butter" sorts, the kinds
that never paid for either the bread or
the butter.

Origin of W^orthless Varieties.

I am rather inclined to the belief
that the average introducer of a new
variety is honest and honorable, that he
means well, that his sole aim and ob-
ject in introducing a carnation is to
give satisfaction, that under all circum-
stances he aims to give the grower his
money's worth. There have been some
exceptions, of course, but this is an-
other story, having no bearing upon the
subject under consideration.

Granted, then, that no fraud or decep-
tion on the part of the introducer is
ever intended, the question arises, Why
are worthless varieties thrown upon the
market? Why, indeed!

I shall attempt to answer this question,
as I have studied it at close range,
depending upon my personal impressions
and observations, which, of course, are
in no wise infallible. My observations,
upon numerous occasions, lead me to the
conclusion that there are some hybrid-
izers who are inclined to be too opti-
mistic, often being carried away, so to
speak, by the momentum of their own
enthusiasm. The man thus inclined
makes his cross, selecting for the pur-
pose sturdy and meritorious parents
The result, he takes it for granted, must
be highly satisfactory. I say "he takes

c\

it for granted" advisedly, because tak-
ing things for granted is a characteristic
trait of the enthusiast. He watches the
seed pod with all the care, hope and love
which a young mother bestows upon her
first-bom. "To be sure," he reasons,
"something good must result. A chip
of the old block is an asset not to be
despised. * '

Enthusiastic Dissemination.

In course of time the seedling or seed-
lings appear. Out of a dozen or more
"uncertainties," the one looking the
most promising is selected and duly
labeled. No sooner does the bloom break
through the calyx than the plant is
chopped down, literally hacked to pieces,
in order to get all the cuttings, good,
bad and indifferent, that it may yield
through and beyond the season. The
vitality of the "promising one" is thus
impaired at the very outset of its ephem-
eral career. The season following, it
still looks promising, although the calyx
is somewhat inclined to go asunder and
the stem is not strong enough to sus-
tain the weight of the bloom or the
bunch of petals. The season, of course,
which happened to be either too dry or
too wet, is accountable for that. Per-
haps a little overfeeding did the nus-
chief, or the temperature was a degree
or two too low or too high to suit its
delicate constitution.

To be sure, there are numerous rea-
sons for its misbehavior, but no mat-
ter, where there is life there is hope.
A second massacre is in order and the
plants are propagated to the limit. Cut-
tings are taken regardless of their con-
dition. It will not do to "put oflE"
when the growers are so much in need
of a good white, a good red. or a good
pink, and, incidentally, when there is
a fortune in sight. I will stop ri^ht
here, however, to reiterate my assertion
that the introducers of new carnations
are absolutely honest, that no fraud is
intended when a carnation is finally
launched, with all the pomp and all
the songs in its praise which we are
accustomed to see and to hear.
The question as to what the grower

Carnation Andrew Carnegie.

should expect from the introducer of
a new carnation is rather a perplexing
one and is not so easily answered as
one might expect. Our ideas of the
fitness of things are so much at variance
with local conditions and local require-
ments that it would be practically im-
possible to set up a standard with a
view of insuring general satisfaction.

Real Bread and Butter Sorts.

In one of the November issues of
Horticulture, John Thorpe, in his notes
on the Chicago flower show, has this
to say about the carnations which were
on exhibition there: "Of new carna-
tions— in quantity very short, in quality
never better. Raisers of seedlings are
getting wise. It is not how many, but
how few. Let this prevail, because the
few have the best chance." Tersely ex-
pressed, but true. That the few of
superior quality have the best chance is
not to be denied. Yet, on the other
hand, we must also not ignore the fact

Carnation Splendor.

that while there are comparatively fsiw
growers ever in quest of "fancies" of
carnations of quality, whose products
are sure to command the highest prices
at all times, there are hundreds and
thousands of others who are ever on
the lookout for "the bread and butter
sorts, * ' whose local markets, either whole-
sale or retail, do not warrant heavy
investments in * * fancies, ' ' who, in brier,
must have carnations which, taking local
conditions into consideration, will pay
for the coal, the help, the interest on
the greenhouse plant, and will leave a
dollar to boot. It is the rank and file
that is to be considered, the man who
can no longer grow Lawson or Queen
and who is in want of something to
take their places. A standard, therefore,
to suit alike the sucessful growers in
the vicinity of New York or Chicago
and the man in the Dakotas, is not to
be thought of.

But what, after all, is the grower to
expect from the introducer of new seed-
ling carnations f

A Happy Middle Ground.

Coming to the point by the shortest
possible route, it begins to dawn upon
me that ^ there ought to be a sort of
happy middle ground, upon which both
the grower and the hybridizer could
meet for the purpose of advancing their
mutual interests, for the purpose of
adjusting differences, of overcoming
prejudices and of facing conditions. If
the one realizes the need of the other;
in other words, if the introducer of
seedling carnations will exercise the most
scrupulous care in behalf of the "goose
that lays the golden egg," and if the
grower in his turn will bear in mind
that his very success, or the "golden
egg," has been made possible by the
men who have made hybridization their
life study, who are sacrificing their time
and means in order to improve upon past
achievements and thereby advance the
interests of the carnation growers — if
both, I say, could meet upon such
ground, there surely would be no cause
for disappointment or dissatisfaction.
But how is this to be accomplished!
Leaving the hybridizer's cause in the
hands of Mr. Rudd, who, I am sure,
will do ample justice to it, I will take
up the grower's end of the question and

The Weekly Rorists' Review.

January 30, 1008.

will briefly outline his expectations from
the introducers of new seedlings.

Reasonable Expectations.

First, the grower expects his money's
worth. By this I mean that when he
orders a batch of high-priced cuttings,
he expects and is fully entitled to high
grade stock, cuttings that have been
carefully selected and well rooted —
rooted not by dint of the steam pipe
at so many thousands per week, but by
the natural process of keeping the feet
comfortably warm and the heads cool,
to insure vigor and health.

Second, he expects from the variety
just what it is represented to be. In
other words, when a variety is a cropper,
it should not be represented as a continu-
ous bloomer; when its calyx splits at
certain seasons or under certain condi-
tions, that fact should be brought to the
surface, regardless of losses or gains.

Third, he expects the benefit of the
introducer's experience without paying
an additional price, often a heavy one,
for the experience himself. By this I
mean that when a seedling has been
thoroughly tested and its requirements
and peculiarities studied and recorded,
the introducer is morally obliged to
give the grower the benefit of his own
knowledge and experience. The grower
is entitled to such information and it
should not be withheld from him. A
printed slip, bearing all the cultural
notes about the variety introduced,
should accompany each and every ship-
ment.

Fourth, the grower expects a "square
deal." By this I mean that no matter
what a carnation's previous record may
have been, no matter how many points
it scored or how many medals were
awarded it, unless it maintains its record
in all its essentials up to the time and
including the season of its dissemina-
tion, unless its vigor is in no wise im-
paired, it should not see the light of
day. The introducer must be absolutely
certain on this point; he must take
nothing for granted, else the grower is
sure to be a much disappointed man.

The grower's expectations, it seems
to me, are within the bounds of rea-
son and need hardly be dwelt upon at
greater length here. Let a condition
of thorough understanding and most
scrupulous honesty on both sides prevail,
and we will no longer hear about "gold
bricks" and "suckers."

After all, there is a deal of truth in
the old saw of honesty being the best
policy. The most successful business
men of today are those who pursue such
a policy, whether it be in the dissemina-
tion of seedlings or breadstuffs. The
child that bums its fingers fears the
fire; so does the grower steer clear of
the man who sells him a winner and gives
him a gold brick instead. It is to our
own interests, whether we be hybridizers,
dealers or mere agents, to discourage
worthless varieties, to stamp them out,
root, branch and all, if we wish to see
the most important branch of our busi-
ness thrive and develop without hitch
or hindrance.

CULTURE OF CARNATIONS.

[A paper by Irving Gingrich. South Bend,
Ind.. read before the American Carnation So-
ciety at the Washington convention, January 28
to 30. 1908.]

The subject of this paper is really one
that should have been assigned to a
grower of long and wide experience, as
the writer feels that he is just beginning
to learn something concerning the cul-

ture of carnations, his experience dating
back only eight years. During this time,
however, mistakes have been made that
he has profited by, and if he can say
something that will be of benefit to but
one out of ten of the growers here as-
sembled he will feel well repaid for the
effort. The writer will also endeavor to
confine himself very closely to his sub-
ject, as any slight digression will make
the paper entirely too long.

Beginning with the propagation of the
carnation, we may say that in this coun-
try the commercial grower has but one
method, namely, by cuttings. The spe-
cialist makes use of seed propagation to
secure new varieties, but we will not dis-

buds, and if these are stopped or pinched
back the plant is gone; the latter sends
up a rank growth which, on being
stopped several times as the growths are
ripe for the operation, produces a heavy
but rather slow growing plant, with
plenty of foliage and few flowers. These
statements must be made with some res-
ervation, as the writer has not had much
experience with different soils and these
exert a marked influence on the growth
of the plant.

A heavy, rich soil might produce a
fairly good plant from a side-shoot cut-
ting, whereas a light, quick, sandy soil
might have the same effect on the other.
Our soil being a medium chocolate loam,

Irving Gin^ch.

cuss this method, as the average grower
cannot devote the time and attention ab-
solutely necessary to success in this spe-
cial field.

Taking the Cuttings.

There exists a marked difference of
opinion as to where and how to take a
cutting and this subject received consid-
erable attention at our Toronto meeting.
There are, however, many present at this
meeting who were not fortunate enough
to be present at Toronto. At that meet-
ing a discussion was raised as to what
constitutes a top cutting, some being of
the opinion that it was one taken rather
high up on a flowering stem and others
maintaining that it was the top taken
out of one of the bottom shoots, which
would ultimately have become a flower-
ing stem itself. The writer's own ex-
perience, supported by actual experiment,
is that neither is an ideal cutting. The
former soon sends forth a bud which, if
removed, will send up four or five weaker

with considerable silt in its composition
and not very rich, we much prefer a side
cutting on a flowering shoot, taken at
one joint above and one joint below the
usual point of cutting the flower. Cut-
ting off the flower, therefore, requires
some discretion, as some varieties de-
velop the cutting before the bud matures
and some varieties do not develop the
cutting until after the flower has been
removed.

Time to Take the Cuttings.

With us January and February are
the best months in which to take cut-
tings, though there are others who prefer
March struck cuttings, on account of the
rapid growth made in their particular
soil, ^me slow growing varieties, such
as Prosperity, need to be taken in De-
cember to make profitable plants.

It matters but little whether the cut-
ting is taken with a heel or not. If
taken with a heel, it is grasped firmly be-
tween the thumb and forefinger and sev-

ered from the stem with an upward and
outward movement. This takes the leaf
and part of the wood of the flowering
stem with the cutting. The old wood is
then cut off an eighth or sixteenth of an
inch from the end of the shoot, and the
cutting is ready for insertion in the sand.
In March or later it is well to clip off
the ends of the leaves, to reduce the
transpiration or loss of moisture. Cut-
tings not taken with a heel, and cut oflE
at the base to any extent, should be cut
slightly below a joint, so that when the
lower leaves are pulled off backwards
they strip off the outer bark, leaving the
inner cambium tissue adhering to the
wood. It is on this tissue that the roots
form. "Whatever may be the method of
taking and trimming the cutting, the
most important thing is its treatment
after reaching the sand.

After trimming, the cuttings are given
a drink by soaking for a half hour to an
hour in fresh water, to thoroughly fill the
tissues and prepare them for the ordeal
to come.

The Propas;atis2 Bench.

The best propagating bench is six
inches deep, with a layer of brick on the
bottom to distribute the heat dnd moist-
ure evenly, and filled up with clean, sharp
sand. This is wetted down and packed
hard with a brick. Then wet again
slightly, and cut a crack in the sand with
an old putty knife and straight edge.
The rows can be two inches apart and
three-fourths of an inch in the row, or
three inches apart and one-half inch in
the row. The cuttings should not extend
more than one-half inch below the sur-
face of the sand. After the cuttings are
in, water with a sprinkling can, or with
the hose if you have it fitted with a
sprinkler head. Syringe lightly for sev-
eral mornings; then gradually let the
sand dry out, always being careful, how-
ever, that the foliage is not allowed to
wilt. During this period the cuttings
are very impatient of drafts, and venti-
lation must be carefully looked after, as
a trifle too much air may result in the
loss of an entire crop of cuttings when
all other details have been faithfully car-
ried out. Direct sunlight should not be
allowed on the cutting bench, at least
until the cuttings show signs of rooting,
after which anything but midday sun
will prove beneficial. The propagating
house should be 45 to 50 degrees at
night, with 60 degrees in the sand. Some
prefer to have no bottom heat, but we
have had no success without it.

Planting Out the Cuttings.

In three or four weeks the cuttings
will be ready for planting out, and for
speed and good results generally we al-
ways plant directly to a bench, in three
inches of soil that is somewhat spent. If
such soil is not available, mix enough
sand with it so it will not be too rich, as
a rich soil will cause considerable damp-
ing off. If so desired, they can be pot-
ted up in 21/^ -inch pots, using a heavy
loam lightened with well decomposed
leaf-mold. They can be planted into the
field without a shift, and this ball of soil
will remain intact when lifting time
comes. December struck cuttings planted
directly into a bench four inches apart
each way, and January struck cuttings
three inches and a half each way, can
'>e planted in without field culture by
'Tune 1. But by all means plant out into
♦he field all cuttings coming from the
propagating bench later than the middle
of February. If you can have your

bench for young stock arranged to give
a gentle bottom heat for a few weeks
after coming from the cutting bench, the
plants will show grateful appreciation.
This is not necessary, but it is desirable.
During this period weeding and stopping
should be carefully attended to. We
make it a rule to go over the young stock
once a week regularly and then stop or
cut back only those plants that are really
ready for the operation. When a plant
is ready for stopping it will be brittle
and can be snapped off very readily, and
this method cannot be too strongly ad-
vocated, since the knife will carry dis-
ease from one plant to another. At this
stage the plants are very tender and dis-
ease is most easily transmitted.

Removing to the Field.

About May 1 the young stock is ready
for the field. Benched plants can be
taken up with a trowel with a good ball
of earth, slightly pressed together to
keep it intact. Place in flats and take to
the field. Let one man or boy distribute
the plants about where they ought to go
in; this can easily be determined from
the adjoining row. Another follows with
the trowel, with which he makes the hole
with a single stroke, inserts the plant
and presses firmly into place without
dropping the tool. The rows should be
sixteen to eighteen inches apart and from
eight to ten inches in the row.

Weather conditions at this time of the
year are uncertain and the work should
be so planned as to get as many plants
as possible out before a rain. In sandy
soil without a bottom, and in dry sea-
sons, a Wittbold or Skinner watering
system is very beneficial in the field.
Neither is expensive to install and the
benefits are out of all proportion to the
cost of installation.

After the plants in the field become
well established,, stopping should begin
again and continue weekly to within a
week or ten days of lifting time. Use a
hand wheel cultivator to keep the weeds
in check, and mulch the soil to conserve
the moisture. If artificial watering has
been resorted to, cease the operation long
enough before lifting begins to ripen the
growth.

Rebenching the Plants*

In our locality, lifting begins from
July 15 to August 1, according to the
quantity of plants to be benched. At
this time have a convenient number of
crates, eighteen inches wide and three to
four feet long, prepared. Spread the
bottoms with one or two inches of wet
moss, to keep the roots moist until plant-
ed in. Two men with spades dig on both
sides of the plant simultaneously, and
lift. A third shakes off the soil, inserts
the roots in a bucket of water and places
them in the crates with roots standing on
the moss.

When the plants are lifted from the
crates the roots are shaken out so they
will spread, and a man on either side of
the bench does the planting by making a
hole with the hand or trowel, spreading
the roots out evenly, bringing the loose
soil around the roots, jumping the plant
up and down gently to distribute the soil
particles among the roots and then firmly
pressing in, leaving a shallow depression
around the plant to receive the first few
waterings. The plants should not under
any circumstances be set lower in the
bench than they were in the field. Ob-
serving this caution will save many a loss
by stem-rot. Care should also be taken
to have the smallest plants on the south

side of the bench and the largest in the
center or north of the center of the
bench. By winter you will be able to
distinguish but little difference in the
size of the plants.

During the planting-in period the glass
should be heavily shaded with a clay
wash squirted on the glass with a syringe,
to cool the houses and prevent wilting.

The Soil for the Bench,

And now let us take up a matter that
has been omitted, the soil for the bench.
If you can secure top soil from a pasture
where the soil is loamy and to the feeling
velvety, you have an ideal carnation soil.
We do not mean to say that carnations
cannot be grown on any other kind, for
the writer has seen most excellent results
secured from widely divergent textures of
soil. We merely mean that the soil men-
tioned requires the least skill to get good
results. When you have secured the soil,
remove four or five inches of turf; place
in piles grass side down, with one-fourth
good cow manure, during the fall preced-
ing the time wanted. Chop down and
work over several times during the winter
and spring, add a 4-inch potful of air-
slaked lime to one barrow of soil, run
through a coarse mixer and it is ready
for use. If this is impracticable, take
any good loam that contains no decaying
vegetation, work it over several times to
germinate and kill the weed seeds it con-
tains and wheel on the benches, after
spreading an inch and a half of well
decomposed manure on the bench bot-
toms. Add the lime as with the compost.

Kesuming the treatment of the plants,
syringe lightly several times a day and,
as the plants take hold of the soil, grad-
ually remove the shade. From now on
water the entire bench, and after the
weeds have been thoroughly disposed of,
a mulch of spent manure mixed with light
soil will be beneficial in retaining the
moisture. Syringe once a week on bright
days throughout the season, to keep down
red spider. Fumigations of nicotine prod-
ucts every two weeks will keep aphis in
check.

Proper Feeding.

If the soil has been well enriched, fur-
ther feeding will be unnecessary until the
first crop of flowers has been harvested.
Then, after a week or two of rest, a
light mulch of sheep manure, with one-
tenth part of dried blood added to give
a generous surplus of nitrogen, may be
given to hustle the growth along. This
may be followed two to three weeks
later by a dressing of wood ashes to
ripen the growth. After another inter-
val a dressing of bone meal will mate-
rially assist the development of the sec-
ond crop of buds. This rotation may be
continued to the end of the season, by
increasing the quantity according to the
growth of the plants. Towards spring a
mulch of rotted cow manure may be
added. Among the commercial fertilizers
as good a combination as we have yet
found is 500 pounds of bone meal, 200
pounds muriate of potash and 100 pounds
nitrate of soda, the latter two well pul-
verized and the whole well mixed and
applied at three-week intervals at the
rate of a handful to two rows halfway
across the bench.

In conclusion let me say that this is
far from being an exhaustive treatment
of the subject. It would be impossible
to give one within the limits of such a
paper. Every grower will find it neces-
sary to adapt his cultural methods to his
local conditions, and these he can only
find out by actual experience.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

•For a* Luncheon Table.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph of a luncheon table in the
style most popular with the "smart
set" in early spring. The center-piece
is composed of three ladies' hats crushed
into irregular shapes, all filled with the
same variety of flowers. Corner-pieces
are omitted in this style of decoration,
as arranged by Charles Henry Fox, at
the Sign of the Kose, Philadelphia.

FUNERAL WORK.

The Broken Column.

The comment on the alleged broken
column pictured in the Eeview of Jan-
uary 16 anticipated my criticism of the
manner in which the top is finished; but
I still have to disagree slightly with the
writer of that comment when he says the
broken top should be filled with flowers
of a deeper color than the body of the
column. While I do not often advise the
use of what may be called architectural
floral work, the florist is occasionally
called on to manufacture it; and when
he does, his imitation should resemble the
object copied as nearly as is possible
with the material at his command.

I venture to say that the common idea
concerning a column is of one composed
of white marble; and the flowers used
should be of that color, and all of the
same kind; such as white carnations, for
instance. These should be arranged to
form a fairly smooth surface, as is seen
in the ideal column; and the broken top
should.be of the same color, but finished
rough and uneven to represent a real
break.

In our own practice, if we use white
carnations for the shaft, we sometimes
finish the break with tufts of sweet alys-
sum to give the desired roughness.

Columns seldom spring directly from
the ground, or from a stone fioor, but are

set on a base which is usually of the
same material as the column itself; and
this should be indicated in the finished
design, bolow which the ambitious florist
may with good taste add a sub-base com-
posed of any material he may choose, dee-
orated with any kind or kinds of flowers
and greenery thought suitable, as his
taste or the lack of it may suggest.

While the shaft should be of one color,
and smooth, it is allowable to throw or
twine a slender festoon of foliage or
flowers or both around the column; but
this should be very slight, and show what
it is meant to represent, and so used as
not to obscure the main feature.

The Wreath.

A recent issue of the Eeview contained
a picture of a wreath on which the me-
chanical part of the work was nicely
done; but which showed a fault very com-
mon with this design as usually made.
That is, the foliage and flowers used in
its construction were allowed to extend
too near the center of the circle, thus
partly obscuring the form of the piece
and making it look too much like a flat
and formless body of flowers and leaves.

The wreath is the simplest and most
satisfactory formal design that can be
used on funeral occasions, being appro-
priate for either sex and all ages and
conditions, but should be used of fairly
good size. When it is necessary to use a
size that is smaller than it should be, the
line of flowers should be narrow enough
to still show its form. This rule will
apply to any small design, because, if it
is necessary for the artist to explain what
his design is meant to represent, someone
has made a mistake.

I have been surprised occasionally
when judging at flower shows to see what
inartistic affairs are sometimes entered
and exhibited, evidently with the expec-
tation of winning prizes.

So-called pillows, say, the flowers used
in which seemed to have been cut exactly
to the same short length, set in straight
lines, perpendicular to the surface they

were inserted in, and so far apart that
they seemed unable to communicate with-
out a telephone, and with the shining tin
foil showing between. W. T. Bell.

TROUBLE WITH ORANGE TREE.

I have an orange tree that looks nice
and healthy, which was in a tub, and I
put it in the ground in the greenhouse.
It is full of blossoms every spring and.
they form oranges the size of marbles,
and then fall off. Will you please an-
swer in the Eeview what the trouble isf

E.L.

From your query it would seem prob-
able that if the tree flowered well, but
always dropped its fruit at an early
stage, either the soil was too dry or, as
is more likely, the soil is sour and lack-
ing in drainage. I would advise lifting
the plant carefully, keeping as many
roots intact as possible, and grow it in a
tub if it is not too large. You will have
root conditions more under control in a
tub than a bed, on which latter are prob-
ably standing other plants, the watering
of which will keep the soil soggy and
wormy. If you prefer to plant out
again, remove the soil to a depth of at
least two feet, and put in stones, broken
brick or coarse cinders as drainage. Use
fibrous loam, dried, lumpy cow manure
and bone meal for compost, adding some
coarse sand and broken charcoal to keep
it porous and sweet. In such material
your plant will thrive and should perfect
its fruit. Do not keep the plant in a
heavily shaded position. Oranges want
abundance of sunlight. C. W.

ORCHIDS IN ROSE HOUSE.

Could a few orchids be grown in a
rose house to bloom during the winter,
and what is the best variety? How about
watering and syringing? When is the
period of resting and what is the proper
treatment then? F. D. B.

A rose house temperature will suit a
good many varieties of orchids. Among
cattleyas, C. labiata, blooming in October
and November; C. Percivaliana and C.
TriansB, in season during December, Jan-
uary and February, and C. Schroederse,
flowering in March and April, can be
recommended. These will do well hung
up near the roof and may be in pots,
pans or baskets. Their resting period is
after flowering, when only sufficient
water to prevent shriveling should be
given, until the new growths and roots

are pushing, when the supply can be
gradually increased. The plants like
plenty of air, especially in summer, and
will require some shade from March to
November.

Dendrobium nobile and its various
forms, D. Ainsworthii and D. Wardia-
num, are some of the many fine and
easily grown dendrobes for winter bloom-
ing. Their season is February and
March. These will be better removed to
a cooler and drier house when the growths
are completed, where they can be kept on
the dry side until flower nodes appear,
when they could be placed in the rose
house again. They like plenty of water
while growing and enjoy syringing over-
head in bright weather. Such Iselias as
L. anceps and L. autumnalis, if they can
be grown during summer in a carnation
temperature, with but little shade, and
placed in a rose house in November, will
do well.

Many of the cypripediums would do

finely in such a house all the time, if they
could have a piece of bench and be given
necessary shade in summer. A few relia-
ble, free blooming sorts are: C. insigne,
C. Leeanum, C. Spicerianum and C. vil-
losum. Coelogyne cristata would be a
useful variety, blooming in February and
March. Oncidium ornithorhynchum, O.
tigrinum, O. varicosum Rogersii, O. in-
curvum, Phaius grandifolius, Zygopeta-
lum Mackaii and Vanda caerulea are oth-
ers which can be recommended. The ma-
jority of those named can be suspended
from the roof. The cypripediums would
do better on a bench, as would the phaius
and zygopetalums. Potting or rebasket-
ing is best done after the flowering sea-
son. "Watering can be safely done with
the hose on all occasions. If you do not
wish to shade the glass for the orchids,
perhaps you have another house you could
grow them in during the hottest months.
If you can grow good roses, you need
not be afraid to try orchids.

Cannas.

It is too early to divide and start
canna roots, unless you want some to
bloom in pots for spring trade. It is
surprising that these showy plants are not
more cultivated in pots. There would
seem to be no good reason why commer-
cial growers could not make good use of
them at Easter. Certainly a pot carry-
ing two or three stalks of blooms is very
effective, much more so than a number
of other plants commonly grown. If you
want to have a few in bloom for Easter,
lose no time in starting them in a brisk
heat. Do not divide to single eyes, as you
would for outdoor planting, but leave
clumps which will give two or three
growths each. Flower the plants in 7-
inch or 8-inch pots, gradually accustom-
ing them to cooler conditions as the flow-
ers open. Customers purchasing cannas
in pots have not by any means thrown
their money away, for they can be bedded
out later and will soon send up additional
shoots in rich ground.

Look over your stock of canna roots.
Perhaps they are under a bench where
drippings from the daily waterings are
starting them to grow. Move any such
plants to drier quarters. If you want to
raise seedlings, the present is a suitable
time to sow the seeds. The majority of
growers do not trouble about seedlings,
but if you are short of stock and mixed
assortments will suit your customers,
seedlings will answer very well. Then
there is always the prospect, though a
rather remote one, that you may raise
something that will beat anything yet in
commerce. The seed of named varieties
comes fairly true and is offered occa-
sionally. Seeds should be soaked in warm
water for twenty- four to thirty-six hours ;
then cut off a little of the shell. Sow in
flats or pans of light, sandy compost and
plunge in a brisk heat. The little plants
•"ire not long in appearing. Pot them off
when large enough to handle.

Misfnonette.

Do not neglect the benches of mignon-
ette. Perhaps you have picked a fine
crop of robust spikes and have given the
plants but little care since doing so.
Mignonette will produce excellent spikes
for a long time yet if properly cared for.
Rub off any weak shoots. Support those
which have taken the lead. If they be-
come bent and crooked you cannot sell
them. Keep the soil clear of weeds. If
you have not given any top-dressing,
sprinkle some pulverized cow or sheep
manure over the surface. It will provide
some food in liquid form for the roots
and will also attract them to the surface.
Mignonette, like the majority of plants
grown in benches, enjoys some liquid
stimulant. Once a fortnight is as often
as it will be required yet. Keep the
temperature at night down to 40 to 45
degrees and, other conditions being right,
there will be plenty of this popular flower
for many weeks yet.

Lobelias.

Perhaps you carried over a few pots
of that useful little trailing, flowering
plant. Lobelia speciosa. If so, get in a
good batch of cuttings without delay. For
hanging baskets, rustic work, window
boxes and vases, this pretty dark blue
lobelia is very effective. You can raise
seedlings if you have no stock plants to
propagate from. These, however, will not
give you as fine a lot of plants as those
you get from cuttings, neither are they
so uniform in color. The dwarf lobelias,
which are so fine for carpet bedding in
Europe, are unfortunately not successes
here, except in shore and mountain re-
sorts, where the moisture-laden air and
cooler conditions are more to their liking.

The newer race of tall lobelias make
excellent pot plants for spring sales. The
flowers are much larger than those of the
other sections named and attain a height
of nine to twelve inches. There are now

several colors of Lobelia tenuior, or ra-
mosa as this new class is termed, includ-
ing dark blue, pale blue, white and rose.
For bedding out these lobelias are also
very useful, being of thinner growth than
the speciosa and gracilis section. They
do not rot off in hot, moist, cloudy
weather, as the other varieties do. Lobe-
lias have fine seeds and a thin dusting of
sand is all the covering they require.

The perennial Lobelia cardinalis is a
beautiful border plant. It is the most
brilliant of all our herbaceous plants. It
is a popular fallacy that the Cardinal
Flower must be grown in moist ground,
as it is generally found in such locations
in a wild state. It grows splendidly in
any good garden soil, and by sowing seeds
in heat now, some of the plants will
bloom in the field the first year. All will
do so the second year, and customers see-
ing them in flower can hardly resist the
temptation to try one or two.

Sweet Peas.

The splendid sunshine which was vouch-
safed to us during the major portion of
January was ideal for sweet peas. The
early batch, which has furnished flowers
since Thanksgiving, is still in heavy crop
and will produce excellent sprays for a
long time yet. A good supply of water
is needed, and as this early crop is now
exhausting the soil, afford them liquid
manure, also a surfacing of some well
rotted manure. Look out for that in-
sidious foe of sweet peas, the red spider.
It is most likely to attack them in the
hottest part of the house, near the heat-
ing pipes. Use a fine sprayer on the hose
if it appears and do not give it any
quarter.

Seeds of any of the sweet peas, sown
now, will come in very useful in carna-
tion houses or wherever there is room to
plant a few. They will give a nice lot of
flowers in late spring, at which time they
always sell well. It is better to sow in
flats and transplant, or in small pots,
rather than to drop a few seeds here and
there among other plants and expect them
to make satisfactory headway. A few
good sorts to sow now are: White, Dor-
othy EcKford; pink, Countess Spencer or
Gladys Unwin; orange-pink. Miss Will-
mott; red shades. Queen Alexandra or
Phyllis Unwin ; lavender, Mrs. W. Wright
or Frank Dolby; striped, Blanche Ferry;
mottled blue and white, Helen Pierce.

lAntirrhinums.

Antirrhinums carry magnificent spikes
when well grown. Their keeping qualities
in a cut state are excellent, and as their
culture is not difficult, it is not surpris-
ing to find them increasing in popularity.
Plants which have followed chrysanthe-
mums will be starting to give a few
spikes. Keep them tied up, for twisted
stems are of little value. If you want
extra strong stalks, it is better to rub off
all the shoots on a plant but three or
four. Attend to the disbudding of these,
as a swarm of side shoots will appear,
which will largely weaken the flower
stalks if left on. Mark some of your
finest plants and propagate stock from
these now. Plant them outdoors in May
and you will get vigorous cuttings from
them for next winter's crop.

Seedling antirrhinums possess greater
vigor than those raised from cuttings, but
do not give such uniform excellence of
spikes as the latter. Neither do they come
so true from seeds. Antirrhinums will
run out in a few years, however, and it
is necessary to start fresh seedlings and
save the best of these for cuttings. It is

yet a little early to make a sowing for
outdoor culture. The first week in March
will do.

Cyclamens.

The little cyclamens raised last fall
must not be neglected. They should oc-
cupy a light bench in a bouse kept at 50
to 55 degrees at night. Do not allow
the roots to become too matted in the
pots before giving them a shift. Stir
the surface soil occasionally, and give
them space enough so that the leaves do
not touch. Crowded plants now mean in-
ferior ones at flowering time. If your
old plants have been grown for late win-
ter sales, they will now be starting to
flower in a cool house. Do not attempt
any forcing. If you want nice, stocky
plants, which will hold their flowers erect,
they must be grown cool; 45 degrees at
night is ample. Some good growers run
them even cooler. As the pots will now
be full of roots, a pinch of Clay's Fer-

tilizer, alternated with liquid manure, will
prove beneficial. Once in ten days is
often enough for stimulants.

Brief Reminders.

Spiraeas for Easter can now be started.
If bench room is scarce, place them under
the stages for a week or two.

A batch of cuttings of sweet alyssum
will give you nice plants to propagate
from again in March and April.

Look out for mildew on rambler and
hybrid perpetual roses. Keep the steam
pipes dusted with sulphur and avoid cold
drafts.

Any of the narcissi can now be started.
It will be unnecessary to draw them up
in the dark after this time.

It is much too early to start azaleas,
acacias, rhododendrons, lilacs. Azalea
mollis, Staphylea Colchica and genistas
for Easter. Keep all these as cold as
possible.

Your Easter lilies cannot afford to be

neglected. Give those which promise to
be too early a cooler hduse. If your
plants are eight to nine inches high, they
are all right. Those less than six inches
high will need a warmer house.

Bambler roses for Easter should have
been housed before this time and be
breaking freely in a temperature of 50
degrees at night.

If you have neglected to sow smilax,
Asparagus Sprengeri and Asparagus plu-
mosus nanus, do so at once.

If you grow tomatoes to follow your
violets, it is time to make a sowing in
flats in a warm house.

Put in tops of any geraniums needing
a pinch. You cannot have too many of
this most valuable of all bedding plants.

Carefully water the Lorraine begonia
leaves in the sand. They should soon be
sending out roots now.

Never neglect fumigation, if you do
not wish aphis and thrips to cause you
trouble.

CARNATION NOTES.- WEST.

Disseminating Novelties.

Most of the disseminators of new car-
nations have begun delivering the young
stock, and it is interesting to note the
difference in the quality of the cuttings
and the way they are handled. The old
hands at the disseminating business
have long since learned the wisdom of
sending out only strictly first-class stock,
but there are here and there growers
who are having their first experience at
the game, to whom the 12 cents apiece
is too alluring to let slip if it can pos-
sibly be held onto on the least pretext.
To them the matter of 12 cents is
the paramount issue. This is entirely
wrong, as they will learn sooner or later
if they continue to raise and dissemi-
nate seedlings. To the veteran the first
and most important thing is to have his
variety "make good" after leaving his
place, and he allows nothing to stand
in the way, either in painstaking work
or in sacrifice of inferior cuttings. To
him every snip of a cutting, be it ever
so small and weak, does not represent
12 cents, nor does he keep counting so
many cuttings as so many dollars. Of
course, every disseminator should and
does want to get as much out of his
variety as he can, and he is entitled to
all he can get, as long as he delivers
honest value for money received.

Siiipping Inferior Cuttin^fs.

We will leave out of the discussion,
for the present at least, the question of

cuttings being properly rooted. The of-
fense, as far as I have observed, has
not been along that line. It has been
in the selection of the cuttings. One
batch in particular, which came under
our notice recently, contained mostly
cuttings which must have been taken
from the upper part of the flower stems,
the very first shoots which did not show
a bud, and most of them had blade-
less stems from three-fourths of an inch
to over one inch long. No experienced
grower would expect to keep up the vi-
tality of his stock with such cuttings,
and no such cuttings ought ever to be
put in sand. No buyer should be ex-
pected to accept and to pay for such
weak cuttings and no variety should
be subjected to such abuse. Both are
entitled to better treatment. That the
disseminator is more or less responsi-
ble for the success or failure of his va-
riety after dissemination is a fact
which cannot be denied. At least he is
praised or censured by the trade in ac-
cordance with the behavior of his va-
riety, and his success with such ven-
tures in future depends very largely
on it.

The Right Sort of Cuttings.

Now, I realize full well that no man
can guarantee that a variety will do
thus and so for another grower; yet he
can do much toward that success by
supplying strong, healthy cuttings, cut-
tings which will, with ordinary good
care, grow into strong, sturdy plants.
If a variety, on account of variation in
soil or climatic conditions, fails to prove

satisfactory, he is not to be blamed.
But for a grower to propagate just any-
thing that will strike roots and to send out
such weak cuttings that they cannot
possibly make strong plants, even with
the best of care, is not only rank folly,
but an outrage on both the variety and
the purchaser. In such case the failure
of a variety must be charged directly
to him.

On the other hand, however, you must
not be too exacting when you purchase
a new variety. Do not demand that
each cutting should be absolutely of the
very top grade. If the cutting is fairly
well rooted and has good vitality, and
if it will grow with ordinary care into
a first-class plant, then you should be
satisfied. We sometimes hear it said
that when one pays 12 cents per cut-
ting he should get fine stock. That* is
true, but it is no more true in this case
than it is when you pay only 2 cents.
The extra you pay is not for quality in
the cutting, but it is for quality in the
new variety. It was earned long before
the cuttings were put in the sand. So,
if the cuttings are as strong and well
rooted as you would demand of the
standard varieties, then you have no
cause for complaint. A. F. J. Baue.

SPUT CALYXES.

We are having trouble with our car-
nations and write for information. In
almost every instance the calyx bursts.
The plants are looking well and the buds
are coming freely. They were planted
in rich soil and then heavily mulched

with well rotted manure. "We have
been keeping them rather on the dry
side. The house is rather cool, some-
times as low as 40 degrees. T. & C.

You will have to change your treat-
ment considerably before you will be
able to stop your carnations from burst-
ing the calyxes. To allow the tempera-
ture to run down to 40 degrees occa-
sionally will cause almost any variety
to burst, especially if it happens after
a warm, bright day. Such carelessness
is entirely inexcusable. Running them
too much on the dry side will aggra-
vate the trouble, too. At this time of
the year the plants should te in a ro-
bust condition, with the soil full of
roots, and overwatering is not likely.
Your plants will enjoy a liberal supply
of water, just so you do not keep the
soil soggy. The thing for you to do
now is to give close attention to the
ventilating and heating, and to handle
them otherwise as if you wanted them
to grow. Water liberally, though not
«xcessively, and keep the temperature
between 6 p. m. and 7 a. m. as near 52
degrees as you can. During the day run
them at 58 degrees on cloudy days and
65 to 70 degrees on clear days. Avoid
sudden changes, but make the changes
gradually, taking a couple of hours each
morning and evening to change from
one temperature to the other.

STURDY STEMS, SMALL BLOOMS.

What causes large, healthy, fast-
growing Lawson carnations, grown in a
night temperature of 52 degrees with
plenty of air in the daytime, to grow
small, soft blooms, with perfectly sturdy
stems f M.

I will need to have more data than
you give here to be able to form any
intelligent idea as to what ails your
Lawson plants. I will say right here,
however, that large blooms do not al-
ways grow on rank growing plants, nor
do rank growing plants always pro-
duce large blooms. A well balanced
diet will produce both a strong growth
and large blooms, but a one-^ided diet
will produce the one at the expense of
the other. So long as I do not know
what you have done, I cannot suggest a
remedy. One would need to know some-
thing about the texture of the soil and
how it has been prepared, and what has
been added in the way of mulch and of
feeding, before any suggestion can be
made. A. F. J. B.

ZL A FAVORABLE SITE.

Would it be advisable to build a green-
house where one must depend on ship-
ping trade exclusively? I would like to
utilize land I now have, two acres, near a
natural gas main and with good water
pressure. Should like to grow carna-
tions and violets. I can reach Buffalo,
Cleveland and Pittsburg in three or four
hours. J. M.

So far as mentioned, the conditions
are favorable for growing for the whole-
sale market, but many other factors
would have to be considered, not least of
which is the character of the soil. A
large number of growers make more than
a living growing exclusively for the
wholesale markets. I have in mind a
greenhouse foreman who six years ago
had saved up the price of a piece of land
suited to his purpose. He borrowed the

money to erect two houses and started to
grow roses. He has been steadily add-
ing to his place until now he has an in-
vestment of $35,000 with only $7,000
incumbrance, besides having taken a liv-
ing out of the business for six years.
His is possibly an exceptional success,
but there are plenty of others who have
done well. F. R.

THE DEATH ROLL.

Gustave Wittbold.

Gustave Wittbold died January 24 at
his residence, 1681 Buckingham place,
Chicago, in the ninth day of an illness
with pneumonia. The funeral was held
from the residence Monday afternoon,
January 27, with public services at the
chapel of Graceland cemetery, where in-
terment took place.

Mr. Wittbold was 37 years of age, one
of the five sons of Mr. and Mrs. George
Wittbold, and since his youth engaged in
the business of the George Wittbold Co.
He was born at the well known Wittbold
establishment at North Halsted street
and Buckingham place, Chicago, where
Mr. and Mrs. George Wittbold still make
their home. Having reached young man-
hood, Gustave Wittbold took up the re-
tail end of the business and since the
firm's interests became so large and so
diversified, he has had charge of the re-
tail stores. There have been five broth-
ers identified with the business and this
is the first break in the Wittbold family,
for both father and mother, four broth-
ers and three sisters survive; also Mr.
Wittbold leaves a widow and two sons,
the elder a boy of 7 and the younger a
baby of 5 months. He was of quiet.

kindly disposition and liked and esteemed
by everyone in the trade. The funeral
was largely attended and many floral
pieces were sent.

Hauswirth.

John Edwin Hauswirth, Jr., son of
Edwin and Pearl Hauswirth, and grand-
son of the late P. J. Hauswirth, died
January 25 at Chicago. The boy was
only 5 months of age. Under the cir-
cumstances the blow was especially se-
vere, and the family has the sympathy
of the trade.

F. E. PiERSON says that there now are
really only three white carnations that
are worth the name — White Enchantress,
White Lawson and White Perfection.

Those who propagate carnations for
the trade report that there is a big
call for rooted cuttings of White Per-
fection and that the probabilities are
that the demand for this variety cannot
be met this season.

Some observers say that Aristocrat
carnation pleases the growers better than
it does the buyers. They say all grow-
ers think highly of it because it opens
its buds so qmckly, but that some buy-
ers prefer some other shade of pink.

The telegraph companies would lose
quite a bit of business if the florists
would order in season, or as soon as the
need for ordering becomes apparent —
and the florists would gain many times
the saving in tolls by the better satis-
faction it often is possible to give when
a little time is afforded on orders.

FRA ELBERTUS SAYS:

"Most anybody can do business fairly
well. Many men can do business very
well. A few can do business superbly
well. But the man who not only does
his work superbly well but adds to it a
touch of personality through great zeal,
patience and persistence, malung it pe-
culiar, unique, individual, distinct and
unforgettable, is an artist. And this
applies to all and every field of human
endeavor — managing a hotel, a bank, a
factory — writing, speaking, modeling,
paintiog. It is that last indefinable

touch that counts; the last three seconds
he knocks off the record that proves the
man a genius."

The man who complains that opportu-
nities are no longer what they once were
in the flower business has wholly lost
sight of the fact that the field has broad-
ened and is broadening every day. Dif-
ferent methods may be required, but th©
opportunities are better than ever. The
fact is that when things are too close to
them, some people overlook them alto-
gether.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

A week of cold weather has had its ef-
fect on the market. Prices have stif-
fened under the influence of reduced re-
ceipts, particularly in the rose depart-
ment, other crops being less affected and
the supply adequate to all requirements.

The receipts of roses are materially
reduced, Brides and Maids being spe-
cially shortened. But top prices have not
advanced, except perhaps on some special
fancy stock; the advance has been, as it
usually is under such circumstances, in
the lower grades, such as are used for
funeral work. The local demand, al-
though there is an occasional fair wed-
ding decoration, is largely confined to
funeral work, of which there has been a
heavy run for several weeks. It is th©
out-of-town demand which gives the mar-
ket its strength these days.

Carnations continue in fairly large
supply. While the weather has been sea-
sonably cold, the skies have been bright
and carnations are not only plentiful but
of fine quality. Prices continue consid-
erably below what they were on this date
last year, but carnation growers are re-
ceiving about as much money as ever, be-
cause crops are heavier. While some
houses have been short on white, others
have large receipts in this color and stock
can be bought for orders, if quality and
price are right.

There continue to be too great receipts
of violets and quality is not high. Prices
are extremely low. Valley is another
item on which the market is weak; there
is much new valley of low grade offered.
All bulbous stock is abundant and meet-
ing with but indifferent sales. Sweet peas
of good quality go well. There are heavy
receipts of callas. Orchids continue in
large supply, principally cattleyas.

The market for hardy green stock con-
tinues good, much of this class of ma-
terial entering into the funeral work.

St. Valentine's day comes February
14. It is a day which has shown great
increase in the flower business in the last
few years. Violets sell especially well
that d^y.

Mardi gras, in New Orleans, March 6,
will mean larger southern shipments.

January Business.

While January business has not been
as satisfactory to the wholesalers as it
might have been, the fault is found with
other things than the total of sales. The
volume of business in the market has
not been far from what it was last year,
but the prices of stock have been much
cheaper; the volume of sales has been
made from the greatly increased produc-
tion.

From the grower's standpoint, he has
shipped more flowers than usual in Jan-
uary, because of bright, mild weather,
and received about the usual amount of

an average demand in January, the re-
tailers have made fully as .much money,
if not more than usual, because of the
cheaper wholesale prices of cut stock.

Greenhouse Building.

Aside from the large ranges which
Peter Reinberg and the Poehlmann Bros.
Co. have in contemplation, and the ex-
tensive rebuilding to be done by George
Reinberg and others, it appears that there
will be much building this season on the
part of the smaller growers. The cheap-
ness of glass is one of the strong induce-
ments to build. What the season holds

forth in the way of greenhouse building
is shown in a report by the John C.
Moninger Co., which says that in Janu-
ary estimates have been sent out on more
jobs than in any other moi^th in the his-
tory of the concern. It furthermore is
stated that the estimates are not on wild
cat schemes, but on additions of two or
three houses for established florists.

Various Notes.

The sympathy of the trade again goes
out to the Hauswirth family in the death
of Ed Hauswirth 's second child, a boy
of 5 months, who died January 25.

H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg, was a vis-
itor last week.

Last season Bassett & Washburn re-
ceived, from the W. W. Barnard Co.,
5,000 bulbs of a new strain of Harrisii,
coming from some undivulged southern
island source. They like them so well

that they doubled the order for this year.
Arnold Ringier aays the source of supply
is a new one and the crop this year will
be from 125,000 to 175,000 bulbs.

H. R. Hughes is preparing for the
Valentine's business by sending out one
of his characteristic advertising folders,
with a Valentine's story and offering
special Valentine's boxes of flowers at
$1, $2 and $3 each.

Scheiden & Schoos say the business in
carnation cuttings is starting fairly well.

F. F. Benthey reports business in Jan-
uary satisfactory.

C. W. McKellar looks for an early re-
vival of the orchid market, when cropa

Wittbold appears in the obituary column

keeping quality. It is nearest true pink
of any carnation in the market.

Albert Lies is sending Zech & Mann
an extra fine cut of roses.

J. J. Kruchten says business in box-
wood is steadily increasing.

A visitor last week was C. De Weaver,
of St. Louis.

Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Bandall
Co., has been ill with the grippe for a
few days.

Each season Vaughan & Sperry sell
quite a number of rose and carnation
cuttings for their growers. They say
that with plants, as with cut flowers,
there is a good market for the new and
up-to-date varieties, but no one wants
Flora Hill, Portia and the other super-
annuated sorts.

The George Wittbold Co. has been con-
signing considerable quantities of cut
orchids to the wholesalers during Jan-
uary.

Weiland & Risch have in mind another
lunge of rose houses for spring, but have
not yet fully determined the matter.

Clifford Pruner, who has been ill al-
nost continuously since the flower show
in November, is again feeling like him-
self and traveling for E. H. Hunt.

At E. C. Amling's it is reported that
fancy sweet peas take as well as any-

while the short stuff goes slowly.

N. J. Wietor is planning to make his
usual trip around the circle in February.
He gets out once a year to see how the
trade in Indiana and Ohio is progressing.

C. N. Thomas, of the A. L. Randall

always all ordered in advance. So far as

mann Bros. Co. got next to a big block
of it when the brothers, August and
Adolph, were east last summer.

It is reported that the E. F. Winter-
son Co. has made and is making arrange-

ments for a big stock of roses, shrubs
and other plants for spring, and that it
is planned to make so big a show in
Wabash avenue that everybody will rec-
ognize the horticultural emporium when
a block away.

A number of eastern carnation grow-
ers have made the rounds of the Chicago
district in the last couple of weeks and
several have said that the carnations at
J. A. Budlong's looked as good as any-
thing they saw.

Leonard Kill says that Peter Reinberg
is doing exceptionally well on Beauties
this season, in spite of the low prices.
Another section of Beauties is just now
coming into heavy crop.

J. P. Foley has recovered from an at-
tack of the grippe.

convention at Washington this week con-
sisted of August Poehlmann, W. N.
Rudd, J. E. Jensen, J. S. Wilson, A. T.
Pyfer, P. Olsem, F. Lautenschlager and
H. B. Howard. Nick Zweifel, Milwau-
kee, was with the main Chicago party
going. With his usual carnation conven-
tion luck, Mr. Rudd's shipment failed to
make the expected train and was twenty-
four hours late.

E. C. Amling and party, who, as re-
ported last week, had departed for south-
ern California, arrived safely at Orange,
Cal., early in the morning of January 24.

E. Wienhoeber has been ill with the
grippe for the last week or two, but
is now recovering.

The Market

The long delayed winter has at last
arrived. January gave us clear skies and
110 snow until the 24th, which furnished
lis with a northeast snowstorm. News-
paper paragraphs about dandelions, daf-
fodils, snowdrops and other spring flow-
ers blooming outdoors are temporarily
suspended, but the late arrival of cold
weather, with the longer days we are now
enjoying, will make the winter less felt
than usual. Business remains fairly good
in the flower markets. Eoses are not
.vet overabundant and sell well. The
jiumber of American Beauties arriving
's hardly up to the requirements. Rich-

mond, Killarney and Chatenay are all
selling well. The quality of Brides and
Maids is now excellent, the colder and
clear weather improving them. Carna-
tions are abundant and have fallen in
vjilue, although white and light pink
shades are selling better than the higher
colored sorts.

Violets are not selling quite so well,
but sweet peas clear out very well. Some
of these are of splendid quality. In
bulbous stock there are now several va-
rieties of tulips in addition to La Reine,
but the latter is in heaviest demand.
Golden Spur narcissus is very good. Pa-
per Whites and Roman hyacinths are in
good supply. Bulbous flowers are sell-
ing a little better than early in the
month. In green stock, adiantum is not

so good or abundant as it was, but
Sprengeri and plumosus are each in
ample supply and meeting with a good
call.

Exhibition.

The first show of the year at Horti-
cultural hall, January 25, was an in-
teresting one, there being some fine ex-
hibits. Carnations were the feature
among cut flowers and filled several
tables. For twenty-five white, Patten &
Co. led with White Perfection; Backer
& Co., second with the same variety, and
third with Puritana. In scarlets, S. J.
Goddard won with fine Beacons; Patten
& Co., second with Beacon; Backer &
Co., third with Firefly, a good seedling,
its only drawback being lack of stem.

For daybreak pink, S. J. Goddard again

Enchantress from S. J. Goddard ; Patten,

S. J. Goddard, took first for dark pink.
Patten & Co. and Backer & Co. follow-

son, from Patten & Co., beat Mrs. Pat-
ten, from Backer & Co. Goddard 's Octo-
roon led for best vase of crimson; Har-
ry Fenn and Octoroon, from Patten &
Co., being second and third. Backer &
Co. took first and second for yellow with
Sunrise and Golden Glow, their own seed-
lings. "William Nicholson showed a fine
vase of Afterglow, not for competition.
For 100 double violets, prizes went to H.
F. Woods, H. F. Calder and W. B. Goode-
now in order named, all showing Camp-
bell ; while for singles, H. F. Woods, Mrs.
Frederick Ayer (George Page, gardener)
and W. B. Goodenow won, all showing
Princess of Wales.

For six Primula Sinensis, E. J. Nutton
(J. Lawson, gardener), Dr. C. G. Weld
(W. C. Rust, gardener) and Mrs. J. M.
Sears (W. C. Ritchie, gardener) won in
order named. Mrs. J. L. Gardner (Wm.
Thatcher, gardener) had the best six
Primula stellata, while for P. obconica
the successful exhibitors were Dr. C, G.
Weld, Mrs. J. L. Gardner and Mrs. J. M.
Sears. In the way of miscellaneous ex-
hibits, R. & J. Farquhar & Co. had a nice
group of Lorraine begonias and Nephlo-
lopis Whitmani. Wm. Davis had half a
dozen splendid specimens of the same be-
gonia. Mrs, Frederick Ayer had a pair

of handsome Erica melanthera, beautif ul-
> I'owered. Primula Kewensis came from
Walter H\innewell (T. D. Hatfield, gar-
dener), Gen. S. M. Weld (Thomas Coles,
gardener) and Dr. C. G. Weld. The
plants in the largest pots were not well
flowered. This primrose evidently does
better in pots not exceeding six inches
in diameter. T. D. Hatfield received
honorable mention for Corydalis Wilsonii
and Mrs. H. F. Durant (Thomas Watt,
gardener) a similar award for Schizo-
centra elegans; the latter also showed
Calceolaria fuchsisBfolia. W. A. Riggs
had a fine vase of Leptosyne maritima;
Mrs. E. M. Gill, a good general display;
E. A. Wood, fine mignonette, and Walter
Hunnewell, camellias.

Some splendid pans of Celsia Arc-
turus, from Mrs. J. M. Sears, received
a cultural certificate. Dr. C. G. Weld
also showed the same plant in pots, well
flowered.

Various Notes.

Robert Cameron 's lecture on ' ' Annuals
and Biennials" attracted a large audi-
ence to Horticultural hall January 25.
The lecture was an interesting and ex-
haustive one, enjoyable to all who
lieard it.

Boston and vicinity sent a good dele-
gation to the Washington carnation con-
vention. The snow storm, January 24,
came a little ahead of time. A warm
rain storm was allotted them this year
for a change.

Carnation night at the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club, February 18, promises
to attract a big attendance. Those who
cannot attend and wish to exhibit nov-
elties should address them, express paid.

care of the club secretary at Horticul-
tural hall, and they will be well cared
for.

Quite a number of members of the
Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club
attended the annual banquet of the North
Shore Horticultural Society at Manches-
ter, January 29.

Welch Bros., who are selling-agents
for Carnation White Fair Maid, report
a good call for rooted cuttings. They
are having a good trade in cut flowers
and other supplies.

Mann Bros, and E. Sutermeister are
handling some extra fine tulips, hyacinths
and narcissi in pans at Park Street Mar-
ket.

Celsia Arcturus, as shown at Horti-
cultural hall, January 25, should prove
worthy the attention of commercial grow-
ers. It ought to become popular as a
pot plant.

Harry F. Woods, of Brookline, who
has grown double violets successfully for
several years, is this year producing
splendid singles, also, the size and color
being remarkable.

T. Harrison, of the English firm of
Cragg, Harrison & Cragg, who visited
America some time ago, has decided to
locate in America permanently and will
arrive about February 20. Mr. Harrison
has sons located in and around Boston,
who have been studying commercial flori-
culture for some time. W. N. Cbaiq.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The prices of carnations in the whole-
sale market do not improve. Shipments
are increasing daily and no advance from
present quotations seems possible. Four
ilollars per hundred will buy the best nov-
elties, while the old time kinds have
fallen at times to $10 a thousand. We
have in abundance now all the varieties
and the quality is excellent.

The best Beauties still bring 60 cents.
Roses of all kinds hold at last week's
prices. The supply hardly keeps pace
with the demand.

Violets were a dump on Saturday and
Monday. Great quantities of left-overs
\vere cleared out to the sidewalk mer-
chants as low as $2 a thousand. Even
the best of them do not go above 50
cents a hundred.

The orchid asserted its domination

are correct, over 5,000 blooms.

cinths, narcissi, freesiaa, sweet peas and

mignonette. Lilies, too, and valley are
beyond the digestive power of the market.

A gradual improvement is looked for
from now until Lent. Society dinners
are more and more costly, elaborate func-
tions are given instead of the simple af-
fairs of the beginning of the season and
balls, weddings and musicales involve joy-
ous floral decorations, which the bon ton
florists are finding fully up to their ex-
pectations and capacity. Unique meth-
ods of distribution are in vogue, includ-
ing floral sedan chairs, wheelbarrows, etc.

McKinley day has been better adver-
tised this year than ever. The promi-
nent wholesalers have suggestive an-
nouncements in their windows. We hope
New York will do its share in honoring
the memory of the martyred president.
Too little interest is manifested by the
florists themselves.

Various Notes.

The New York convention contingent,
headed by President Traendly and Di-
rector Young, left for Washington at
3:30 Monday. Mr. Young declared the
delegation was large enough to deserve a

special car and that Caterer Nugent had
not forgotten his duty as usual. The
Northport, Flatbush, Cottage Gardens
and Tarrytown representatives were on
hand. If every city does as well as New
York, there will be no complaints as to
attendance.

Not to be out of fashion, the McManus
headquarters had a little fire of its own
last week that did little damage and left
the orchid supply for the big wedding
undisturbed.

On February 7 the dinner of the Or-
ange Society will be held, and on Feb-
ruary 29 the grand reunion of all the
members of the New York Florists ' Club,
at the Hotel St. Denis.

The next meeting of the New York
club will be on Monday evening, Feb-
ruary 10. Exhibits of new carnations will
be in order and the returning conven-
tionists will have their say.

J. D. Coekcroft is averaging a ship-
ment of over 2,000 carnations daily to
Traendly & Schenck, Georgia and Har-
vard among the specialties.

Ocean avenue.

Mrs. John Raynor has been seriously ill
with pneumonia. Her recovery is hoped
for..

Joseph Fenrich has been unable to at-
tend to business during the last week, the
result of a serious accident from a col-
lision with a street-car. It was a narrow
escape, it is reported, but he is out of
danger and will be back in his office be-
fore the week is over.

Nicholas Cocaliaries has sold his inter-
est in the firm of N. Lecakes & Co. to the
other three members of the organization.
This firm has been very prosperous and
has built up a large business, not only
in green goods but cut flowers, under the
able management of John Foley.

The Wholesale Cut Flower Association
reports most gratifying results to date,
with no withdrawals and every prospect
of including every wholesaler in the
business in due time. The combination
may be safely characterized as a perfect
success. The majority of the retailers
now give it their unqualified approbation.

The wholesale plant market is holding
its own. Some of those who withdrew
temporarily during the dull weeks after
Christmas are returning. Greater efforts
to have the plants on exhibition fresh
and frequently renewed are made, and
gradually, since the sensible hour of clos-
ing has been advanced from noon to 4
p. m., the retailers are beginning to ap-
preciate the convenience. With the ad-
vent of spring and the approach of Eas-
ter, the plant market will take on new
life.

Mr. Bennie, who was expected to take
a position as manager with a New York

seed house, has accepted an offer from a
Boston firm, and J. E. Eussell, formerly
with Vaughan's Seed Store, has joined
the force of W. W. Rawson & Co., of
Boston.

Mr, Chadwick, formerly with Thorburn,
has accepted a position with a seed store
on Barclay street. New York.

Robert G. Wilson has had a wonder-
fully successful winter with weddings, re-
ceptions and funeral work, his big force
being kept continually busy. His store
at the corner of Greene avenue and Ful-
ton street is far ahead of any Brooklyn
store in beauty and convenience and ar-
tistic decoration. While his greenhouses
on Greene avenue are now completely re-
fitted with the Wilson concrete patent
benches and under the management of
G. E. Layton, formerly with Dummett &
Wagner, of Mount Vernon, this branch is
proving a most profitable venture.

Last week T. Wahlgren, a gardener on
the estate of James Burden, Jr., West-
bury, L. I., was shot in a desperate fight
with a burglar and was reported dying
in the Nassau County hospital, in Mine-
ola.

The American Nursery Co. has been in-
corporated here, by Frederick W. Kelsey,
Theodore Foulk and William Flemer. The
authorized capital is $100,000.

A corporation has been formed by
Elizabeth Mackintosh, James Malone and
C. A. Flynn, with a capital of $2,500.

At the store of A. M. Henshaw a large
plate glass window was broken by a fall-
ing safe, causing a loss of about $200.

The Szechenyi-Vanderbilt wedding is
all over. The Rosery officiated as floral
decorator. The count ordered his bride's
bouquet and bridesmaids' muffs at Thor-
ley's. The bridal shower bouquet was of

white orchids and gardenias. The muffs
were made of acacia blossoms, suggestive
of ostrich plumes and the court flower of
Hungary. It is interesting to read the
metropolitan dailies' description of the
floral decorations. Apart from the fact
that an avenue of large palms and a bank
and grotto of the same were used, with
some thousands of lavender orchids at-
tached in charming decorative effects, the
rest may be left to the imagination.

A. T. Boddington's numerous salesmen
report a most successful canvass, with op-
timism everywhere, and the business out-
look is encouraging. This seems to be
the verdict of all the seedsmen of New
York.

Never have such beautiful catalogues
been sent out, and never so many as are
being mailed this season.

Evidently this branch of horticulture
has faith in the country and its resources
and is preparing for a busy year. The
financial skies grow clearer weekly. The
money situation is no longer a menace to
enterprise and legitimate business again
receives the confidence to which it is en-
titled. The panic and the agitation of a
presidential year together cannot stem
the tide of this nation's prosperity and
progress.

F. W. O. Schmitz, of Prince Bay, has
received in fine condition his big impor-
tation of azaleas from ten to eighteen
inches in size, well shaped and true to
name, and all the popular varieties.

A. T. Boddington has a quarter of a
million cannas of every popular shade
and variety for this season's demand.

H. H. Berger & Co. report a rapidly
growing business and their sales of tuber-
ous-rooted begonias, caladiums, gladioli
and gloxinias are far beyond any former

season. The new store at 70 "Warren
street is a model of convenience. Some
fine Japanese trees of 100 years and over
have lately been on exhibition there.

Bridgeman's Seed Warehouse is busy
day and night, and the only worry there
seems to be is the need of thirty hours
a day to keep ahead of orders. Never-
theless the Rickards Bros, manage to
take in all the banquets and dispense
melody, while their list of friends and
customers increases.

D. Smith & Co., the new wholesale
liouse at 111 West Twenty-eighth street,
are enthused by the addition of several
growers to their force, and quite en-
couraged, they say, by their experience
to date.

The Stumpp & Walter Co. may well
claim one of the handsomest and most
(iomplcte seed stores in the country.
They announce an active demand for
ijladioli, caladiums and Gold Medal strain
begonias, with a complete stock of every-
thing for the spring trade.

The Market

The last week the wholesale market
showed signs of steadiness and the re-
tailers report a fair trade. The whole-
salers were not so overstocked as the
week previous, both local and shipping
demand bointr better than at any time
since the holidays.

Fancy long-stemmed American Beau-
ties, also the shorter grades, are in good
quantities. Roses in other varieties have
been none too plentiful, especially white.
Bride and Ivory are in big demand.

Carnations sold well. These, too, in
white sold out clean almost every day.
Today, January 27, there is a large de-
mand for red and pink, the retailers buy-
ing for McKinley day. Tulips, jonquils,
Harrisii and callas are plentiful, also Ro-
mans, Paper Whites and valley. Cali-
fornia violets are selling for $3 per
thousand this week.

Various Notes.

Martin Reukauf, representing H. Bay-
ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, is calling
on the trade here this week.

B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., Phila-
delphia, from advance cards, is expected
here this week.

H. C. Irish, superintendent of the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden and secretary
of the Council of Horticulture, was in
Chicago the past week, attending the
meeting of the council.

E. W. Guy was in the city Saturday,
buying supplies. He reports everything
O. K. in Belleville among the florists.

C. C. Sanders, chairman of the pottery
committee, says he hopes, at the next
meeting of the club, to show a large sub-
scription list to the members. Mr. Sand-
ers says anyone wishing to subscribe
can do so by calling at Kuehn's or
Berning's commission houses.

Prank Fillmore was presented last
week with a beautiful gold ring by his

George Waldbart had the decorations

Carew Sanders, one of our oldest flo-
rists and nurserymen, now over 80 years
of age, called on friends in the trade
last week. Mr. Sanders kept close to

were all glad to see him looking so
well.

his carnations and sweet peas.

Werner Bros, are sending to this mar-
ket a good quality of California violets

The members of the St. Louis Florists'
Club should not forget the club meet-
ing, which takos place February 13,
which will be of some importance. Car-
nation growers wi'l find it of great in-
terest to them, as Secretary Bentzen
says a great many growers of new va-

their benefit. Also quite a few carnation
questions will come up for discussion.
Invitations are general for all in the
trade to attend.

The St. Louis Horticultural Society
held its annual meeting on Tuesday

night, January 21, in the Masonic Temple
building on Grand avenue. The meeting
was fairly well attended, but not as
large as expected. The election of of-
ficers was the main feature, which re-
sulted as follows: President, Edward
W. Mallinckrodt ; first vice-president,
Leonard Matthews ; second vice-president,
Alex Waldbart; third vice-president, J.
B. Gazzam; fourth vice-president, 8. H.
Gundlach; treasurer, Fred C. Weber; sec-
retary, O. G. Koenig. The executive com-
mittee this year will consist of eleven
members: Henry Young, chairman; C.
B. Nicholson, F. C. Weber, A. Meyer,
Jr., A. Jablonsky, O. G. Koenig, F. W.
Brockman, C. C. Sanders, Theodore Mil-
ler, F. H. Meinhardt and Emil Schray.
All the above served in the same capacity
last year.

The executive committee will meet
soon and determine on the plans for
the annual spring flower show.

ONCINNATL

The Market

Business during the last week was
nothing to be very proud of. There was
just about enough doing to keep one's
mind from dwelling on the slowness of
collections. As a lucky thing, too, the
supply of flowers was not very heavy,
for had they been so there would have
been a pretty good sized glut on. As
it was, the demand was about equal
to the supply, but it took some tall
hustling and talking to move the stock.
There did not seem to be any special
cause for the lack of demand. There
was just a sort of lull, which we have

at times in this business and which, as
a rule, lasts but a few days. From all
appearances it has already seen its end,
for this week opened with a rush that
was very promising.

The prices of the various flowers have
not varied much from the last report.
Of course the lack of demand had a
tendency to take the backbone out of
prices, and they weakened considerably,
but there was not a decided drop in
any line and at the present time they
are right up to the notch again. Roses
seemed to feel the effects more than
carnations, and Beauties received the
worse knock of all. But as that is all
over now, we hope, we can forget it
quite readily in the face of a good de-
mand and rising prices.

The month of January has given us
an unusual amount of sunshine. There
has been scarcely a day when the sun
has not been shining a good portion
of the time. This has made itself felt
in the quantity of flowers being cut.
It is to be expected that a large num-
ber of blooms have thus been forced
open, which ordinarily would not have
been fit to cut till sometime in Feb-
ruary. With February anything like
what it usually is, with its dark and
cold days, we can look for a shortage
of stock and high prices. Last year
the prices of flowers during this month
rivaled those of the holidays. From
present prospects this season will prove
no exception; so the grower with a good
crop just coming in can look for good
returns.

it can to relieve the distress of our un-

employed. Several thousand dollars have

The Market.

January business in this city seems to
have been better than expected. Accord-
ing to the expressions of different florists,
the outlook for the balance of the -season
is not as bad as predicted some time ago.
Everything cleans up well at the local
commission houses, and what more can
be expected? There has been considera-
ble good funeral work, using up much of
the best stock on the market.

Special Meeting of Qub.

The president of the Detroit Florists'
Club called a special meeting of its mem-
bers January 21, to settle the question
of a local show. The members did not
turn out as well as might have been ex-
pected with such an Important matter
before them, but after a short discussion
on the subject it was finally decided to
give up the thought of a show, for the
coming fall at least. A motion to this
effect was made by Ed Beard and sec-
onded by the secretary. Mr. Beard was
really in favor of holding a show, but
there was little enthusiasm among either
the growers or the store men, and so he
thought it better to give up the idea, for,
without the proper push at the back of

it, the failure of a show was already cer-
tain.

Several of the members were neutral.
Mr. Taepke was one of these. He could
not see where any real benefits were to
be derived from a show, either for the
grower or store man, but he promised
that if the rest were in favor he would
help all he could.

J. F. Sullivan gave quite a lengthy
talk, in which he expressed his views
very plainly. He spoke of the interest,
or rather the lack of interest, which the
people of the present time took in the
development of flowers as compared with
those of fitteen years ago. At that time
many peopie were as well posted on the
newer varieties as some of the florists.
This was one reason why Mr. Sullivan
thought that if flower shows could not be
made to pay in those days they could
never be made profitable at the present
time.

Some of the other members also ex-
pressed their opinions on the subject.
Most of them were either opposed to
holding a show or were neutral.

WAYSIDE NOTES.

W. A. Wettlin, of Hornell, N. Y., fin-
ished rebuilding in time for the busy sea-
son. He has now one of the handsomest
and most convenient stores in the state.
A very noticeable feature is the low win-
dow stage, constructed of tiling on a con-
crete base, with a gentle slope to allow
of drainage. The store proper is 25x55
feet, and connects with the houses. The
floor is mosaic, the counters Tennessee
marble. A solid cement cellar runs the
entire distance. While the cost exceeded
the estimate, he says it is the best ad-
vertisement he could have.

A. H. Woeppel, Corning, N. Y., is pick-
ing Rose-pink Enchantress carnations
that sell at sight. He has great success
with Enchantress and intends planting
nothing but this family another season.
Having no room to spare for testing new
varieties, he, together with many others
of the craft, depends almost entirely
upon the report of those who can experi-
ment. Mr. Woeppel has several seedlings
that possess merit.

George R. Clark, of Scranton, Pa., is
installed in his new stores at 124-126
Washington avenue, each one separate
but communicating, with a total width of
fifty feet by 150 feet deep. One is fitted

up as a flower store, the other as a seed
store, this branch being the largest in
this section of the state. It gives him
great facilities for handling a rapidly
increasing business.

Richard King, the busy superintendent
of the United States Cut Flower Co.,
Elmira, N. Y., says he does not remember
when crops were so short as they have
been this season, considering that the
weather has been favorable. Quality has
been first-class, especially in Beauties. He
speaks highly of Lady Bountiful, consid-
ering it one of the best white carnations
yet sent out. He notes that Lawson has
been in greater demand than Winsor or
Pink Enchantress. Lawson, both pink
and white, is very fine. Shipping busi-

The Rising Eastern Market.

There has not been any great change
in the market in the last week. The sup-
ply is not heavy, though enough to
meet all requirements. The crop of Beau-
ties, which is not very heavy, is moving
slowly and at times is hard to sell.
Red roses are in good demand and bring
fair prices, which is due mostly to the
cut, which has fallen off considerably in
the last few days. Brides and Maids are
a trifle scarce and sell up very clean.

work of late. The demand for Brides
and white carnations has been good. Kil-
larney and Chatenaj sold well and were
good stock at all times.

The Drexel ball last week, for which
the William Graham Co. had the dee-
orating, used quite a lot of Killamey
and pink carnations. The effect was
^ery striking and much admired. Wild
smilax and also quite a number of string
smilax were used extensively in the dec-
oration.

Carnations are not selling very well.
Most of the growers are cutting heavily,
and if the bright weather continues, the
^ipments will be much larger. Winsor,
Beacon and Enchantress head the list,
With Lawson coming next, which is fine
at this season. White Perfection is also
fine and sells well. The flowers are of
enormous size. There are too many vio-
lets, both single and double, and they
are sold for almost any price. Valley

and mignonette are moving slowly. Tu-
lips, which are not very long-stemmed as
yet, are hard to move. The demand for
daffodils is fair and they are used in
quite a number of the smaller decora-
tions. Sweet peas and freesia in the
fancy grades are in good demand. There
is also plenty of lavender peas, which are
good stock. Cattleyas and gardenias have
shortened up and there is not quite
enough to fill the demand.

Smilax and plumosus are moving off
in good shape, as is also cornflower, of
which the supply is limited. Lilies sell
fairly well and are especially fine.

Various Notes,

The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is re-
ceiving some very fine gardenias, which
are good stock.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. are receiving a
large lot of Japanese air plants, which
are sold before they reach the store.

They also sent some goods to Manila, In-
dia, South America and England. The
spring trade among the florists is very
heavy.

John Ruppert, who represents the H.
A. Dreer Co., is back and reports busi-
ness as being very good in the east.

S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. had a nice
order for Killamey last week.

D. Connor, who represents the Lord &
Bumham Co., was among the many vis-
itors at the carnation convention at
Washington.

Berger Bros, are receiving some of the
best Brides and Maids coming to this
town, which is a great credit to their
growers.

Harry Crawford, who is the grower for
the Secane Greenhouses, says they will
need a wagon for the carnations which
they will cut in the next few weeks.

William P. Craig reports the demand
for the stock of Mrs. Jardine to be very
heavy, which goes to show that she has
a great many admirers.

Edmond A. Harvey will deliver an ad-
dress before the Florists' Club Tuesday
evening, February 4, on "The Indoor
Cultivation of Carnations. ' ' Mr. Harvey
is a member of the firm of Albin Harvey
& Sons, Brandywine Summit, Pa., who
have achieved an enviable reputation as
growers of the divine flower. He has ad-
vanced ideas on cultural points.

The Henry F. Michell Co. has offered
a silver cup for fifty blooms of Miss
Kate Moulton, to be competed for at the
American Rose Society's annual meeting
in Chicago next spring. Now, Mr. Far-
enwald.

The Wm. Graham Co. decorated Hor-
ticultural hall for a large private ball
January 24. Mr. Graham arranged a
novel idea, with a canopy of smilax as
the chief feature. Killamey roses were
also freely used. This decoration elici-
ted much favorable comment.

M. Rice & Co. are enjoying the usual
amount of business for January, with
excellent prospects for the Easter trade.
Their Eaater novelties are arriving daily.

Charles F. Krueger is sending out very
prettily illustrated postal cards, showing
his stand in the Reading Terminal from
different viewpoints. The cards give a
good idea of the tasteful decorations.

may be made a profitable crop. Stirling

growing under glass.

CULTURE OF GREEN ONIONS.

1 wish some kind reader of the Eevievp
would tell me the proper way to treat
onion sets for green onions. What is the
best variety? Should they be started in
the greenhouse and transplanted to the
hotbed or coldframe? Are they of any
commercial value? Also what variety of
radishes is best for this purpose? T. G,

The best variety of onion sets to grow
green onions from will depend upon the
demand of the market to be supplied. The
Egyptian or winter onion set, when
planted outdoors in September in the
north, will produce green onions early
the coming spring. This variety of onion
set, however, does not make anything
more than d, scallion, but its earliness
makes up for the lack of bulb. In some
localities the Potato onion, or English
Multiplier, is a popular set for making
early green onions. It is planted out-
doors as early in the spring as possible.
In the south the Shallot is used largely
for the same purpose, the difference in
climate compared with the north making
the time of planting different. In gen-
eral the White Bottom onion set is the
one that market gardeners use to make
the early green onion. The Yellow Bot-
tom set is also used, but, owing to the
color, is not so salable as the white.

Green onions meet with a ready sale
on all markets. The expense of getting
them to market will be the main factor
in determining whether it will pay to
grow them. Onion sets may be forced in
greenhouse or hotbed, but it would be a
waste of time to transplant them. In a
general way it may be stated that the
onion set, when planted to make green
onions, is invariably an outdoor crop.

The Scarlet Globe radish is the best
turnip-shaped variety for forcing in the
greenhouse or hotbed and the Woods
Earlv Frame is the best long variety.

LEAF BURN ON LETTUCE.

Enclosed you will find some lettuce
leaves. Can you tell us what the trouble
is and what to do for* it? The lettuce has
seemed to be all right until now, and it
is heading up and the leaves on a great
many are getting this way. We have
found a small worm on some of it, but do
not know what to do for it. We are grow-
ing a bench of it in a house with other
stock, at about 55 degrees. E. H, L,

Your trouble is a very general one,
commonly called leaf burn, which is
brought about mainly through unsuitable
atmospheric conditions, I am not at all
surprised that you should have trouble
with this disease, seeing that you are run-
ning the temperature of your house at
55 degrees. It is impossible to do lettuce
successfully at as high a temperature as
this; 45 degrees is as high as the house
ought to be allowed to run for this crop
while fire heat is being employed. The
term small worm is very indefinite; there
are so many insects which might be so
termed that would be apt to be found
on or around your plants, some harmful

and others harmless, but I fail to see
where any of them could possibly cause
or have anything to do with the disease
under consideration. If you must main-
tain a temperature of 55 degrees for the
other stock grown in the house, you had
better cut out the lettuce altogether, es-
pecially head lettuce. The Grand Bapids
variety, which is not a head lettuce, will
succeed at a higher temperature, but 55
degrees is too high even for this.

named Grand. It originated with H. B.
Davis, a grower near Jackson, five years
ago, as a sport from Osage.

In voting to hold its next convention
at Detroit, the executive committee of the
Seed Trade Association also voted that
each participant pay for his place at the
annual banquet. Possibly the gentlemen
did not care to impose upon the hos-
pitality of a non-member to the extent
that would likely be the case under the
former arrangement.

Theee is still a scarcity of the red
flat varieties of onion seed. It is thought
that there is enough for all legitimate
purposes, but the holders do not seem to
be willing as yet to let go of it at prices
that the purchaser will pay. The next
month will have to do the adjusting of
this matter, as by March seed will have to
be planted.

Onion sets are being shipped out in
car lots at present and the stock is re-
ported to be in good shape. The market
shows no sign of breaking and the de-
mand for later shipment will be heavy,
judging from the inquiry for prices from
localities that have not yet stocked up
for the spring trade. High prices are
bound to rule this spring. Normal Jan-
uary conditions prevail in all lines of
the seed trade, according to the reports
at hand from the best authorities in the
different lines. An unusually heavy trade
is expected in what is termed fill-in busi-
ness with the jobbers. Most of the whole-
sale lists are out and a general feeling
of stability prevails. The catalogue
houses report good returns so far and the
seed purchasers seem to be in fairly good
financial shape. Market garden trade in
the central west is fully up to the aver-
age January expectations and a feeling
of satisfaction with conditions is general.

SEED TRADE DISCLAIMER.

At the meeting at Chicago January 21

the following resolution was adopted:

The Executive Committee of the American
Seed Trade Association recommends that Its
members still further emphasize and publish Its
Wsclalmer by having It printed on all station-

CARING FOR LAWNS.

A good lawn is a highly prized posses-
sion, whether public property or owned
by a private individual. And in like
manner there is dissatisfaction when a
poor lawn is in evidence. Handsome
trees are objects of interest and unceas-
ing sources of pleasure; shrubberies and
flowers are likewise means of enjoyment,
but all of these are enhanced in their
value when they are surrounded by grass,
varying in its extent of surface as con-
ditions demand, but unvarying in ver-
dant beauty.

A great deal is accomplished in the
keeping of a lawn in good order by care-
ful attention to the routine work in sum-
mer, but there is more than that needed
in order to have good grass year after
year. Perhaps the most essential require-
ment is supplying the roots at the proper

time with nutriment which will enable
them to act so that exhaustion will not
be apparent in the meagerness of the re-
sulting verdure.

Fertilizers in some form or other
should at frequent intervals be applied
to lawns, and there is probably no bet-
ter time for their application than the
winter or early spring. When stable
manure is applied it should be well
rotted before its application, not be-
cause there may be less nutriment in its
component parts when fresh, but because
a larger quantity of the rotted manure
finds a way to become available for use
and because there is less likelihood of its
being the means of causing objection-
able vegetation in the lawn.

When a fertilizer is applied to a lawn
in the form of well rotted manure or
loam, with the addition of bone meal,
the grass is not only benefited directly
by means of the chemical properties thus
applied, but the matter, when simply con-
sidered as solid substances, aids the
roots of the grass in the material it
affords for their extension and preserva-
tion. The benefit thus obtained can be
increased by rolling the grass thoroughly
in the early spring.

Wood ashes contain properties which
many people believe are capable of pro-
ducing grass of a ridher and darker color
than any other fertilizer. However that
may be, there is no question but wood
ashes are very helpful to grass, but great-
care is necessary in their application,
because, if heaps of the ashes are al-
lowed to remain here and there, burnt
patches will surely result.

When lawns are in such a condition
that it becomes necessary to sow seed in
order to make them look presentable,
and when a thorough renovation is out
of the question, a good plan is to mix
bone meal, or whatever other fertilizer is
used, with screened loam and apply it in
the early spring, taking care to allow an
extra portion to fall where seed is
needed. Then sow the seed, raking it
well in and finishing with a rolling with
a heavy roller. M.

CLIANTHUS DAMPIERL

My only desire, in writing this for
publication in your esteemed paper, is
to make known the result of a few per-
sonal observations on the culture of Clian-
thus Dampieri. This plant is reputed to
be very capricious; yet I am convinced
that if its culture, which is by no means
diflScult, were a little better understood,
one more remunerative and splendid
plant would thus be supplied to our re-
tail trade, both for pot culture and for
planting out.

The necessary material is not so very
considerable; a good propagating house,
with a warm propagating bed covered
with a sash, is sufficient.

Sow at the end of February or first
days of March some Colutea arborescens
or Caragana arborescens, preferably the
latter, in a small flat or pan, and place
it in a warm propagating house. As soon
as the seedlings are large enough, prick
them out into 2-inch pots and plunge
these in a warm propagating bench that
has a steady bottom heat of 65 to 70
degrees.

As soon as the cotyledons are well
developed you may sow out in the same
manner your Clianthus Dampieri seed,
which will be up in three to five days.
Now you are ready for grafting. Pull
out delicately your Clianthus Dampieri
seedlings, cutting them with a very sharp
knife, the same way as you do for cleft-

grafting. When the acion is ready, in-I
sert it in a well made split between the
cotyledons upon the colutea or caragana,
being careful to take off their young
shoots. If the operation is carefully fin-
ished, the graft will be calloused over
the next day. Although not absolutely
necessary, it is well to tie the grafts with
very thin rafSa. The grafting of clian-
thus, which may seem at first sight very
difficult, is simply a little delicate and
demands a rather steady and sure hand
to be practiced with success.

When the grafting is done, the plants
are plunged back again in the warm
propagating bed, under the sash. During
the next five or six days the only care
they require is to wipe off from time
to time the water that will have gath-
ered on the glass of the sash. After
those five or six days you may commence
to give a little air. Above all, be care-
ful that the plants do not suffer from
being dry. If the sun is too strong for
the newly grafted plants, place some
newspapers over the sash, until the young
plants are able to endure the free air
and light of the propagating house.
From then on they need no more shading ;
on the contrary, they ought to be ex-
posed in the best lighted place in the
warm house.

dry and warm, a syringing with not too
cold water will greatly benefit the young
plants. A light vaporization of tobacco
extract at intervals will keep the plants
clean of insects, but do not syringe the
cUanthuB with any extracts, or they may
spoil the nice glaucous appearance of
the leaves.

Before the plants become potbound
shift them into 4-inch pots, plunge them
in a closed frame, water and syringe lib-
erally, after which the same care is given
as at the first potting over.

When the pleasant days arrive, you
may get your plants inured to as much
air and light as possible, which is very
essential for a good result. To pre-
vent the plants from creeping on the
ground you may commence from now on
to tie them up on bamboo or wire sticks.

The best soil for clianthus is two-
fourths good, loamy soil, one-fourth well
rotted manure and one-fourth sharp
sand, well mixed. The object is to have
a good, permeable soil, through which
water, light and heat can easily pene-
trate. At the end of May the plants will
be quite robust and some will show their
first flowers. That is the time to give
to those that are to be grown in pots
for retail trade their third and last pot-
ting over. It is no more necessary to
have heat; an open frame, with a Uttle
shading for a few days, will do.

Two good varieties for commercial use
are Clianthus elegans and C. rosens.

LARVAE IN NARCISSUS BULBS.

Several horticulturists in the neigh-
borhood of Toulon, France, who grow
narcissi outdoors for the cut flower trade
have experienced a serious loss during
the last season, owing to the damage
done to bulbs by a destructive larva of
some insect. The matter has been stud-
ied by M. Val6ry Mayet, professor of
entomology at the Ecole Nationale
d 'Agriculture at Montpellier. He has
reared the larvae in question, and finds
them to belong to a beetle named Mala-
cosoma lusitanicum, belonging to the
family Chrysomelidse.

This insect is abundant in the central
region of France, and at the beginning
of May is common on the flowers of
various compositse. The larval form has
hitherto been unknown, but it seems like-
ly that it normally lives on the bulbs of
species of grape hyacinth, probably on
those of Muscari comosum, although this
has not yet been definitely ascertained.

The larva or grub is wMte and is about
five-eighths inch long and one-twelfth
in thickness. The head is small, and is
provided with two three-jointed anten-
nae and with mandibles, which are only
adapted to deal with soft tissues.

Several of the grubs are often met
with in a single bulb, but sometimes,
when the attack is a severe one, there
may be more than a dozen living in a
more or less decomposing mass. The
larvae enter on the pupal stage during
the early part of April, and the perfect
insect escapes about the beginning of
May.

M. Val6ry Mayet advises the taking up

of the bulbs and a disinfection of the
soil by means of bisulphide of carbon,
applied at the rate of 240 pounds per
acre. Xs a further measure, says a
french writer, it is recommended that
the beetles themselves should be col-
lected and destroyed, which can easily
be done, as they do not readily fly, but
allow themselves to be caught without
any difficulty.

THE GRAPE-LIKE FUCHSIAS.

A certain class of fuchsia has ap-
peared on the continent of Europe which
is meeting with general favor as mate-
rial for planting in beds, groups, and as
hot plants, says Karl Kiskoven, in Hol-
ler's Deutsche GUrtner Zeitung. These
are free flowering, and possess other
good properties, besides flowering

throughout the entire summer season.
The newer varieties, many of which pos-
sess flowers of light colors, flower a sec-
ond time at a late part of the season.
The older of these grape-like bunch
fuchsias have more or less tender foli-
age, and by a lowering of the tempera-
ture lose many of their leaves, whereas
the newer varieties do not fail in this
respect, and are considerably improved

in growth and in duration of the flow-
ers. This class is particularly adapted
for cultivation in pots, as the plants
quickly make numerous shoots and the
bright tint of the flowers contrasts ad-
mirably with the dark-colored foliage of
most of the varieties. The blooms ap-
pear in terminal panicles, as in F. corym-
biflora and F. serratifolia. The most
valuable variety is Koralle, so called
from the coral-red tint of the blooms.
The leaves are metallic-green; growth,
vigorous and stately. Gottingen has
flowers of a cinnabar-red tint, which are
of large size, and the foliage dark in
color. The variety Friiulein Bonstedt
has rosy-red flowers, these being white
at the tips of the sepals, and very
effective as seen against the light green
foliage. Perle has rose-pearl sepals, and
the tips are almost clear white, the flow-
ers being double and freely produced
and the leaves brownish-green. Garten-
meister Bonstedt has flowers of an or-
ange-red tint, which are of considerable
size. The plant has resemblances to
Gottingen, but is of an extraordinarily
bushy and compact habit. Eros has rose-
pink blooms, the points of the sepals be-
ing of a lighter tint, and the foliage
dark green. While all the other varieties
have pendent blooms, in this one they
stand erect, and afford a peculiar charm.

NEW ROSE

MRS. JARDINE

Every Florisf who Plants a Rose fornWinter Forcing wants at least Six Qualit'es

The folloMring^ testimonials are from some of the most
critical men in the trade in New York:

New York, Jan. 7, 1908.

Mr. W. P. Craig, Forty-ninth and Market streets, Philadelphia, Pa.

1 have deferred writing to you regarding the pink rose Mrs. Jardlne In order
to give It a thorough trial. I have this to say about it: I find it an excellent keeper,
that Its color remains true, and without a particle of doubt it will 1111 a long-felt want.
It Is in Itself a dignified rose; its color Is of the most refined pink, it seems to
Improve in use, its odor Is sweet and refreshing and my only regret is that it is not
in the market at the present time. Yours sincerely, CHAHLES THORLEY.

New York, Jan. 17, 1908.
Mr. W. P. Craig, Philadelphia, Pa.

Dear Sir: We wish to thank you very much for the samples of rose, Mrs.
Jardine, sent to us. We certainly think It is a line addition to the rose family, and
in point of fragrance is queen of them all. We find after keeping these roses two
or three days they are really in better shape than the time we received them, and
think it should certainly become very popular. With kind regards, we remain

Yours truly, TRAENULY & SCHENCK.

New York, Jan. 16, 1908.
Mr. William P. Craig. Philadelphia, Pa.

Dear Sir: We cannot too highly commend your new rose, Mrs. Jardlne. The
samplle cluster which we had In our window two days, then shipped to Washington,
is still in perfect condition, and the color Is as clear and true pink as when first
received. In color, foliage, length of stem, fragrance and durability Mrs. Jardlne
leaves nothing to be desired. Vecy truly yours, J. H. SMALL & SONS.

Washington, D. C, Jan. 18, 1908.
The Mrs. Jardlne roses specified above are still In excellent condition; their
quality and durability are without precedent. J. H. SMALL & SONS.

New York, Jan. 16, 1908.
Mr. William P. Craig, 1305 Filbert street, Philadelphia. Pa.

Dear Sir: Pardon delay in replying to yours. Regarding the new rose, Mrs.
Jardine, I have been desirous of thoroughly testing this new introduction to the rose
family and to be better able to criticise its characteristics. I regard Mrs. Jardlne as
possessing most excellent qualities. The rich pink shade in the hud, becoming a
lighter color as the rose develops, together with its delightful fragrance, gives It
very pleasing attributes, and consequently it is a most desirable acquisition. The
strong wood, which is nearly thornless, together with the bright, vigorous foliage, is
Invaluable and commendable to the retail florist. Its durability and lasting qualities
when cut (very necessary characteristics for success) are almost unrivaled.

Respectfully, ALEXANDER McCONNELL.

New York, Jan. 9, 1908.
Mr. W. P. Craig. 1305 FUbert street, Philadelphia, Pa.

Dear Sir: We find the Madame Jardine rose excellent in every way, opening
very double and holding Its color exceedingly well. It has a color which is a very
true pink and a most popular shade. Its stem shows very good strength until the
last, and the size and color of the foliage are very good. Thanking you again for
the samples of this splendid rose, we remain Very truly yours,

GEORGE M. STUMPP.

New York, Oct. 16, 1907.
Messrs. Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill. Delaware Countj', Pa.

Gentlemen: At the meeting held Monday evening, Oct. 14, the vase Mrs. Jardlne
exhibited was greatly admired and was awarded a preliminary certificate by our
committee on awards. I wish to add that I placed some of these blooms In my win-
dow Tuesday morning, and they were Indeed a great attraction. It is one of the
most pleasing roses I have seen in years, and I prophesy a great future for It.
Yours very truly, JOHN YOUNG, Secretary.

MRS. JARDINE has all these char-
acterietics, and, in addition, is of so
perfect a fotm that it can be used either
in the bud or half expanded flower. The
color is a bright rosy pink, shading in
the outer petals to salmon pink, and,
even in January when Bridesmaids and
Killarney lose their color, Mrs. Jar>
dine is as bright as in October or March.

MRS. JARDINE is not a chance
seedling, but was raised by Messrs. Alex-
ander Dickson & Sons, Newtownards,
Ireland. This firm has not only given
us Liberty and Killarney, but has sent
out more new roses of merit than any
other Kosarians in the world. Over two
years ago we spent three weeks in their
trial grounds, and from three thousand
seedlings we selected thirty-five varieties
that we thought would be successful in
this country for winter forcing. After
testing these for two years we have se-
lected one— MRS. JARDINE— which
has with us, and which we think will
with all good roses growers, fulfil all the
qualities as stated above.

We extend a cordial invitation to
everyone interested in this new Rose to
visit our Nurseries and see it growing.
We have it both own roots and grafted
plants, 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,

SOURCE OF TOBACCO DUST.

A dispatch to the Philadelphia North
American from St. Nicholas, Pa., says:

"Thomas Speelman, who went to New
York a poor boy, is home on a visit.
While here he bought several farms and
endowed the town with a public library.
He is a rich man, all of his wealth hav-
ing been accumulated through his Christ-
mas present exchange.

"Immediately after Christmas Mr.
Speelman sends his clients a letter noti-
fying them that he is ready to take their
Christmas presents either on a cash basis
or in exchange for other articles.

"Mr. Speelman says that he annually
gets hundreds of boxes of cigars which
wives have given their husbands. These
are not returned to the market, but are
ground in the form of powder and sold
to florists for killing slugs."

HARDY FERNS IN VERMONT.

Vermont farmers are said by a paper
published in that state to have reaped an
unusually large harvest last fall from the
gathering of ferns in the woods for sale
to florists. That industry has been of
value to the people who live in the Berk-
shire hills of Massachusetts for several
years, and it has been broadening out of
late. The claim is made that the pickers
of the ferns can make at least $4 a day,
as they can pick 10,000 ferns and sell
them for 40 cents a thousand, when tied
up in bunches of twenty-five fronds each.
They are plentiful in the woods of New
England, where the ground has not been
disturbed for several years. Florists need
millions during the winter, and the sup-
ply is almost entirely obtained from the
fine growth of rock ferns or dagger ferns,
or sword ferns, as they are called in dif-
ferent localities. October and November
are the harvest months and the pickers
roam the woods anywhere, regardless of
the ownership. The business has not been
systematized so much as yet that the own-
ers of the forest lands put restrictions
on their premises. That may come in the
course of time, as it has already in the
blueberry pastures and the walnut and
chestnut groves of some localities. There
is a cash value to all these products of the
wilds that have been neglected for cen-
turies.

St. Paul, Minn. — The trustee in the
bankruptcy case of Alfred W. Lemke has
filed his final account and the creditors
will have their final meeting at the office
of the referee February 3.

Farmington, Mo. — M. Butterfield,
proprietor of the Farmington Nurseries,
grows an excellent quality of carnations,
including many 4-inch ones, and he thinks
his success is largely due to the high alti-
tude of this locality, the fine climate and
also the red soil, which is richly impreg-
nated with iron. Trade is good.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Januaby 30, 1908.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FEiANCISCO.

The Market

Business is quiet all along the line.
The weather in the central part of Cali-
fornia for the last week has been a suc-
cession of heavy showers, while that of
the southern portion of the state has
been distressingly dry. The temporary
effect on business in the neighborhood of
San Francisco has been to stop almost
everything, with the exception of funeral
work, and this has moved along fairly
well.

Flowers are not very plentiful, however,
even in spite of the fact that they are
only in reasonable demand, for the
weather has been so cloudy that thqy have
not opened well. Carnations have stif-
fened somewhat in price, but it will re-
quire only a few days of sunshine to
lower them in price again.

Eoses, with the exception of Maids, are
really scarce, and good whites and Beau-
ties are in as much demand as they have
been at any time this season. Violets
are plentiful and excellent, and cost the
stores at the uniform rate of 75 cents
per dozen bunches. They are being used
more freely than ever before and they fill
in volume usually half a retailer's sales.
Outside mums are about over for the sea-
son, and white narcissi have taken their
place to a great extent in funeral work.
The mums held on remarkably long, on
account of the fact that we have had
such a mild winter, but we 'shall see no
more of them before next fall.

Daffodils and narcissi are quite plenti-
ful, but the former will not be in full
swing for several days yet. There is a
scarcity of cut adiantum, and until the
wild variety gets plentiful the florists
will have to depend to a great extent on
cut asparagus sprays.

Various Notes.

Joseph E. Jacques reports a good busi-
ness in the line of wholesale florists' sup-
plies. Mr. Jacques has filled a long-felt
want among the local dealers for an up-
to-date supply house.

H, A. Lewis and wife, of Eussellville,
Ore., passed through San Francisco en
route to Los Angeles, during the present
week.

H. Aebi, of Berkeley, Cal., has leased
his greenhouses to a local Japanese com-
pany.

L. M. Barrett, of Berkeley, has asso-
ciated with him S. E. and T. E. Barrett,
and the firm will henceforth be known as
the Fairview Nursery Co.

J. M. Holland has opened a store in the
new free market on Shattuck avenue,
Berkeley.

J. J. Kegley, for many years associated
with the M. J. Wragg Co., of Iowa, has
taken charge of the outside department
of Gill's Floral Depot, Oakland, Cal.

John C. Walbridge will leave on an
extended trip through southern California
in a few days. G.

ANNUALS IN CALIFORNIA.

The growing of early annuals should
interest the California plantsmen at this
time. During the latter part of January
it is late enough to plant asters, cosmos,
gaillardia, stock, coreopsis and other eas-
ily grown and quick selling stock.

seems to be that almost everyone gets the
stock ready too late in the season to be
in line for early planters. With the ad-
vent of a few days of warm weather, the
buying public suddenly discover that they
should have a flower garden and within
the next day or two they have made a
hurried canvass for such stock as they
require. They never take into consider-
ation the fact that it takes quite a while
to grow salable stock, and that nurseries
are not like grocery stores, in that you
cannot go to the shelves and pull down
the required goods.

The first part of April is early enough
to plant hardy annuals, but after Feb-
ruary 1, if the weather be at all salubri-
ous, the calls begin.

A few words about the growing of
hardy annuals. They should be started
in flats under glass, and with a little bot-
tom heat if convenient. They will grow
without this, however, and make fully as
strong plants after transplanting out in
the open. No soft-wooded stock needs to
be kept in seed flats over one month, and
at that time they are ready to be trans-
planted into other flats and planted the
usual distance apart. About four more
weeks, on the average, elapse before the
plants are ready for sale. They should
be planted at the rate of about 100 plants
in the ordinary sized flat. This appears
to be the most feasible way of handling
them and allows of just enough space
without wasting any room. G.

CHRISTMAS ROSES IN POTS.

Good roots of Christmas roses come
rather expensive to buy, says a writer in
an English gardeners' magazine; other-
wise, I believe, they would easily dis-
place many of the so-called Dutch bulbs
now so largely depended upon for winter
decoration. But, personally, I do not
consider Christmas roses are at all ex-
pensive if one considers all their good
points. Just how many flowers a clump
will produce is difficult to say, so much
depending on the clump. A long lasting
plant it is, too, the flowers hanging on
for weeks, and being reinforced by a
constant succession of buds and blooms.

I grow two varieties in pots, viz., Helle-
borus niger major, and H. niger maximus,
and both are far ahead of the ordinary
form of Christmas rose. H. maximus
comes in later than major, and is the
better flower of the two. I find that
both the plants and cut flowers are ap-
preciated in rooms, owing to the delight-
ful perfume the flowers possess; a fact
I have never seen commented upon. I
always grow the plants two years in the
same pot, and then split them up and
plant them outside.

The Market

Trade for the last week has been dull
here; even funeral work has been light.
There is a good supply of flowers coming
in. Prices remain about the same as
usual. Carnations bring 60 cents to 75
cents per dozen; roses $1.50 to $2 per
dozen retail. Violets have taken a little
move this week and are selling a little
better. They retail for $1 per hundred.
Sweet peas are arriving in limited quan-
tities. They retail at $1 per hundred.
Paper "Whites are quite plentiful; these
bring 50 cents per dozen retail. A few
tulips and daffodils are coming; these
fetch 60 cents per dozen retail.

Variotis Notes.

E. H. Chamberlain is receiving some
nice Winsor blooms.

E. E. Noflftz had an attractive window
display last week. He grows a great
many bulbs throughout the season.

William E. Mosher is cutting some fine
violets at his new place.

William P. Pierce, on Union street, is
receiving some fine Boston Market car-
nations from his grower, William R.
Hoxie, of Mattapoisett. Mr. Hoxie
grows about 5,000 plants, including Fair
Maid, Joost, Lawson, etc. Carnations
are his specialty.

H. A. Jahn is still busy shipping cut-
tings of his new Lloyd. It still keeps up
its crop of flowers and buds without any
let-up. This is certainly a winner, a
bread and butter variety in every sense
of the word.

8. 8. Peckham is busy putting in large
batches of cuttings in the sand. He
makes carnations his specialty.

Last week we had one of the worst
blizzards in years. Snow fell and drift-

The honeysuckles' are well suited for
planting to wire trellises.

The Cranbrooke Nurseries, Birming-
ham, Mich., have ceased to exist.

Cedrus Atlantica makes a fine speci-
men if given the room it needs.

From all parts of the country comes
the report of strong demand for and
short supply of two-year cherry trees.

From dififerent parts of the country
we learn of a serious mortality among
large oaks during the last two or three
years.

The white spruce (Picea alba) is the
one that can be most safely recommend-
ed for planting in exposed places near
the sea-shore.

At the nursery of J. G. Harrison &
Sons, Berlin, Md., over twenty-five bush-
els of acorna in ten varieties have been
planted since autumn.

Jackson, Miss. — The McKay Nursery
& Floral Co. has been incorporated, with
an authorized capital of $20,000. The
incorporators are A. B. McKay, J. F.
McKay and others.

The beetle whiqh, a few years ago,
threatened quick destruction to the elms
all over New England, seems to have lost
heart and gone elsewhere. At any rate,
we hear but little of it now.

The American Nursery Co. has been in-
corporated in New York city, with an
authorized capital of $100,000. The di-
rectors are Frederick W. Kelsey, 150
Broadway, N. Y.; Theodore Foulk, Flush-
ing, L. I., and William Flemer, Spring-
field, N. J.

Although the Scotch pine (Pinus
sylvestris) is planted mainly because
it is being recognized as an adaptable
tree to varied conditions of soil and
climate, it is also a tree by no means
devoid of beauty of form when it at-
tains fair proportions.

A SUITABLE vine for the covering of
single posts or like objects of medium
height in close proximity to dwellings,
is wistaria in variety. These, besides
effectually covering the object to be
hidden, can in a short time be made to
appear attractive specimens in them-
selves.

The pecan has become an important
specialty with the nurserymen in the
south and there are those who assert that
the English walnut would be an equally
good thing for the southern part of the
United States if growers were taught to
graft it on the native black walnut
stock.

The Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, 111.,
has bought the tract of twenty acres on
which the nursery is located and is re-
modeling the residence for the occupancy
of J. A. Young, president of the com-
pany. He says that business was never
better for epring and that the future
looks bright to him. The company makes

a specialty of shrubs and perennials. Mr.
Young says that florists in many towns,
by planting specimens on their grounds,
are able to take many orders for fall
planting and call upon the wholesale
nurserymen for the stock instead of
growing it themselves.

This is a good time, when there may
not be a great deal else to do, to get
packing material in shape for easy han-
dling when shipping time comes around.
Boards likely to be of use should be
sorted and laid away in piles ; every nail
should be takem out and all rusty nails
put where no harm will be caused by
them.

It is not so much what a grower grows
as what he sells that butters his bread.
A good grower, if left to himself, may
be a poor seller, which is not perhaps as
bad as being a poor grower. It is much
better to be a good grower and a good
seller, too. The Eeview will help you to
be a good seller, because it is read by
those who want to find out where the best
growers are.

Eemember that a reasonable profit on
a few thousand plants disposed of next
spring means more capital to work on,
with the probability of repeating the
profit from that same capital the spring
following. Marketable stock, unsold in a
nursery, is much like a team of work
horses standing idle in the stable. They
may be the stronger for the work when
it comes to be done, but it would be more
profitable to have them constantly em-
ployed.

AN ARBOR-VITAE HEDGE.

I am thinking of planting some arbor-
vitae as a fence and also as a wind-break,
and should like information as to the
best soil and culture. Our soil is light
sandstone. How far apart should the
plants be placed? Is arbor-vitae a suc-
cess here in Pennsylvania? D. B. V.

Arbor-vitfiB makes a good hedge and
wind-break and thrives well all over this
country. It likes a good, loamy soil, but
it will grow in the kind of soil referred
to in the query. It will be better, how-
ever, to dig a trench for the plants, deep
enough to receive a liberal allowance of
top soil mixed with some well rotted
manure. This will give the roots a body
to work on. Thereafter they should do
quite well.

The distance between the plants must
depend on their size when planted, if as
fences or wind-breaks they are wanted to
be immediately effective. For a hedge
the plants, if small, could be placed about
sixteen inches apart, or closer or other-
wise, as seems desirable for the purpose
in view. Larger plants need more room,
but if the intention is to allow them to
grow into each other it will be as well
to plant them closely to begin with. Ar-
bor-vitsB stands cutting back and pruning,
a feature of it that commends it as much
as anything else for a hedge, but it is
also of such a habit of growth that very
little pruning is necessary to keep it in
shape.

When ready to plant, after the trench
is dug and the soil is as already ad-

PRUNING.

Every man, before proceeding to act,
should haye some idea of what the effect
of his contemplated action will be, be-
cause, for one reason, lack of such an
idea will not save him from punishment
if the result of his action is contrary to
law. There is, unfortunately, no law
of the land to mete out punishment to
men who mutilate flowering shrubs when
undergoing the annual butchering, digni-
fied by being called pruning by the men
engaged in the act.

How often do we see weigeliaa and
many other beautiful flowering shrubs of
like character robbed of their birthright
by having their flowering wood cut
away! Sometimes we see broad expanses
of shrubbery composed of plants of
many different species, caused to resem-
ble a mammoth bundle of evenly clipped
twigs stood on end during winter and
early spring, with nothing much later
but green leaves — and all that in most
cases from a want of a proper under-
standing of the work undertaken.

No man of ordinary intelligence can
be held blameless if he repeats such
practices, more especially if he seriously
aspires to make horticulture his life work.
Pruning is always important work and
should never be mistaken for clipping,
or clipping for pruning. The object in
pruning should be to facilitate the at-
tainment of perfection in some form or
other, but never to prevent such an end.
Clipping is perhaps a necessary horti-
cultural evil. M.

THE LIQUIDAMBAR.

The liquidambar is a beautiful tree
when it is seen in a thriving condition
after it has attained a fair size. Nur-
serymen sometimes advise planting this
tree on low ground. I have had several
planted on low ground where the drain-
age was far from perfect, with the re-
sult that for a number of years they
made but little growth. I concluded
that the wet condition of the soil was
responsible for their failure to grow,
from the fact that others planted at the
same time on land that was better drain-
ed grew remarkably well, but with this
drawback, that the growth made by the
trees that thrived best invariably fails
to ripen and consequently gets winter
killed, whereas the growth made by the
others does not suffer injury to speak of.

The liquidambar is such a beautiful
tree that any one having trouble with
it should persevere and keep on nursing
it until the time comes when it will get
so established that it will be able to
take care of itself. M.

ADIANTUM FARLEYENSE.

Adiantum Farleyense succeeds best,
according to a British grower's view,
in good, yellow, fibrous loam, and a pro-
portion of good leaf-mold, with an ad-
dition of crock siftings, charcoal and
sand to keep the compost open. In the
winter months the moisture should be
reduced, both in the soil and in the at-
mosphere. An excess of moisture in
the atmosphere causes the pinnae of the
fronds to damp, and this badly disfigures
them. The plants should be kept at all
times well up to the light ; in fact, this
is most essential to develop those beau-
tiful tints of color which are seen in the
young fronds when thus treated. I
have not seen this fern do well when
growing in peat, and it is devoid of that
rich tinge of color noticeable in plants
grown in the compost described. Liquid
manure may be applied with safety to
plants that are root-bound, and growing
freely in the summer-time. If grown in
small pots for table decoration at this
season of the year A. Farleyense will al-
ways be admired.

make nice plants for benching about a
year from date. After the plants are
well established in the bed, you may be-
gin cutting a few sprays, taking care,
however, not to cut the plants weak. They
will gradually throw heavier shoots,
which may be trailed for strings. After
their season in the bed you can expect to
cut about two strings per plant during a
season.

A bunch, put up for market, should
contain twenty-five sprays.

Cinders and drain tiles may be used to
good advantage in preparing the beds.
Plumosus, Sprengeri and smilax can ad-
vantageously be grown together in such
a house as you have mentioned.

Albert F. Amling.

STORED DAHLIA ROOTS.

If you find any dahUa roots that have
signs of decaying, remove them at once,
carefully scrape all decayed matter off,
rub the newly cut part with a mixture of
dry soil and lime and place back into
storage, says the monthly bulletin of the
New England Dahlia Society. See to it
that the roots do not shrink or dry up;
this will happen if you keep them in a
place that is warmer than it ought to be.
A good remedy is to cover your roots
with newspapers and wet down the paper
with a fine rose spray; this will produce
enough moisture to swell up the roots
and make them solid. Let in fresh air
as much as possible, particularly during
the noon hours of pleasant days, and do
not allow mold to form at any time. If
mold is present rub the infested spots
with drv soil.

SARAH 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

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.
Everyone 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.

John Murchie is getting some good
crops from his new range at West Mid-
dlesex, but the white carnation, Fred
Burki, and its sport, a grand scarlet,
were never better than now, at the home
place and growing under the most ad-
verse conditions. Both are splendid
flowers, fully as large as Enchantress at
its best and as free flowering. They
sell easily around the holidays at $1.50
per dozen.

Sawyer & McDaniels have taken over
the business carried on for many years
by M. I. O'Brien.

C. B. Service has an attractive window.
Flowers and fruit seem to go well to-
gether.

Fj"ed W. Heintz does quite a business
in the east end, which takes in a large
territory.

It is rumored that the coming sea-
son will see a thoroughly up-to-date store
opened here, with every facility for han-
dling a first-class trade. W.

SMILAX WITH BOTTOM HEAT.

"Will smilax do any better on a low
bench with bottom heat than on a solid
bench, and are old smilax roots, that
have been in use for two seasons, of any
value? M. E.

Your smilax will do far better in a
solid bed and it would be a great mis-
take to use bottom heat for it. The old
roots are not worth carrying over after
the second year. They can be divided,
but it is 80 easy to raise seedlings and
they do so much better than divided
roots, that they are to be preferred to
the old roots. C. W.

\U I NGiO D ^'^' proved to be the finest carnation in the lirht pink class. We sold a large Quantity of it last year, but there wiU be

earlinesB, large siie, freedom, etc. In our opinion, it Is by far the best white carnation ever introduced.

We have a splendid stock of both Winsor and White Enchantress ready for immediate delivery, and will guarantee perfect satisfaction
with the cuttins'o supplied. Do not wait, because the demand for these varieties is bound to be enormous. Order early, vehlle ^^e can
promise licaiedlate delivery, and secure gilt-edged stock. We have a large stock of both of thede varieties, and all our cuttings are heel

PORCH BOXES AND LARGE BEDS.

What are the best blooming plants for
porch boxes, also for large beds in public
places! And what varieties would be sat-
isfactory, planted together in June for
summer blooming? M.

For porch boxes some of the most satis-
factory flowering plants are : Geraniums,
petunias, abutilons, nasturtiums, blue lo-
belias, ageratums, lantanas and the
fibrous begonias, like Vernon and Er-
fordii. For large beds no other plants
equal the cannas. A solid bed of one
color is the most effective. If you want
a little variation, you can edge a yellow
bed with scarlet of lower stature, or vice
versa. A few good bedding cannas are:
Queen Charlotte, scarlet-crimson, banded
with canary yellow; Egandale, soft red,
bronze foliage; Charles Henderson, crim-
son; Florence Vaughan, golden yellow,
spotted bright red; Alphonse Bouvier,
brilliant crimson-scarlet ; Pennsylvania,
which grows six feet high, suitable for
large beds, rich scarlet; Mme. Crozy,
crimson-scarlet bordered with yellow.

Sometimes a bordering of some other
plant, like Caladium esculentum, is seen
round the canna beds, but if you use a
dwarf variety of cannas for a bordering,
it will do fuUy as well. In planting porch
boxes you can use a few of the lower
growing cannas, if there is ample root
room for them. These boxes are usually
filled with a mixture of plants. Zonal
geraniums make ideal boxes. If you want
some hanging plants, the ivy-leaved sec-
tion can be utilized for the front. A few
suitable geraniums are: John Doyle, S.
A. Nutt, Jacquerie, Alphonse Eieard,
Jean Viaud, Double and Single Grant,
Mme. Jaulin and Beaute Poitevine. SoUd
boxes of petunias are very good and can
be depended upon to flower all summer.

more as being worthy of a thorough trial. It has been exhibited only as 294, being a
seedling raised by John Cook, of Baltimore. A beautiful rose with an exquisite fra-
grance. In color it may be described as a soft salmon pink, which brightens up beau-
tifully as the bud opens. We are intending to plant this rose in quantity.

A. N. PiERSON, Cromwell, Conn.

In answer to your inquiry what we think of your new rose. My Maryland, we
would say that after seeing others we still believe that you have the best new rose of
modern times. Gude Bros. Co., Washington, D. C.

CXEVELAND.

The Market*

Trade remains about the same as at
last writing, stock in all lines being
■well cleaned up. Eoses have been par-
ticularly scarce, it being impossible to
fill orders. There have been more than
the usual number of deaths lately, which
means quantities of funeral work. Bulb
stock is coming in freely and is a great
help when other stock is scarce. Sweet
peas, valley, lilies and violets are com-
ing in freely and sell at sight.

Various Notes.

Frank Piggott, of Meyers avenue, on
the west side, has an exceptionally fine
bench of callas. They are weU worth
being proud of, as well as a bench of
Boston ferns, which are hard to beat.

Guy and Herbert Bate, of the Cleve-
land Cut riower Co., are attending the
carnation show at Washington, visiting
Philadelphia and New York on their re-
turn.

C. B. Wilhelmy, of West Twenty-fifth
street, has been on the sick list the past
week, with a siege of grippe.

The funeral of H. Fiederman, presi-
dent of one of the largest west side
banks, used quantities of fine flowers.
Both Knoble Bros, and the Ohio Cut
Flower Co. had large orders.

WASHINGTON.

Current Q>mment

There has been no material change in
the market since last writing. This
is a long season for Washington and
the social functions are drawn out,
which makes quite a difference as com-
pared with the rush of last season.
We have had some remarkeble weather
the last week. Wednesday was a fine
spring day. On Thursday we had a
heavy snow storm with high winds, and
the thermometer down to 16 degrees
above zero. Stock is plentiful, espec-
ially carnations.

Jas. L. Carbery, of Ridge road, has
just completed a mushroom pit, 8x8x26
feet. Hefjwill grow mushrooms in con-
nection with his other business. He
is cutting at present some fine sweet
peas.

J. J. Harty & Co., the wholesalers,
have added a fine line of baskets and
floral supplies to their business.

J. C. Eeute'*, wife and daughter, from
Westerly, R. I., arrived January 25, to
attend the convention. O. O.

AUSTIN, TEX.

The winter here was mild up to Jan-
uary 12, when a severe norther caused a
drop to 22 degrees Fahrenheit and se-
verely hurt many outdoor plants.

Alfred Holm is closing out his busi-
ness, to go to Corsicana.

The Hyde Park Floral Co. cannot pro-
duce enough carnations for its trade.

Olsen 's Capitol houses are full of good
stock.

The Seiders greenhouses are turning
out a lot of carnations and pot plants.

Chas. Alff & Co. are filling all their
benches with plants for spring work.

The garden committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society recently visited the
(jreenhouses of H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, to see his carnations. A white seedling which is
largely planted and which has been shown at Boston and other shows, was looking fine. It is
the most wonderfully prolific white the committee had seen. The flower is large, full and the
stem ideal.— Boston News-letter in Nov. 28, 1907, Issue of The Florists' Rkvikw.

THE BOSTON VIOLET

The people today are looking for new Violets just as much as they are for new roses or carnations. THE
BOSTON VIOLET for the past two years has been placed before the most skeptical buyers in America, and they
prefer it to any other.

THERE'S A REASON. The Boston Violet is the largest, the most fragrant; it has a very pleasing color
and it is a great keeper. THE BOSTON VIOLET is a variety that is easily grown, it is the strongest grower and
is in crop from September to May.

THE BOSTON VIOLET was awarded a First-Class Certificate of Merit by the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, and a Report of Superior Merit by the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, of Boston.

Distribution will commence in April. Order now.

BUFFALO.

1 he Market

The beautiful spell of weather which
has crossed the country was broken in
Buffalo by a long snow storm, followed
by a drizzling rain. However, the weather
was elegant last week and has made
Easter stock jump. Heavy shading has
been appUed to houses containing azajeas
and such stock, which come so quickly.
As a result of this weather the stock is
being forced and still the market is not
overcrowded.

Funeral work has been so plentiful as
to take all the short roses, and in some
cases the long stock had to be used.
There have been an unusual number of
deaths and we learned that one day last
week broke all records for funerals at
Forest Lawn cemetery.

Violets are showing the results of the
warm spell which prevails over the east,
for they seem to have taken that faded
look. We hope they will last for Easter,
but, judging from last year, we may have
to sell sweet peas in their place.

Various Notes.

Conrad Forbach was in the city, visit-
ing the different florists, last week. He
is just as entertaining as ever and, after
his few stories, went on his way, leaving
everybody happy.

F. S. Hale, of Hamburg, Mich., made
us a short visit last Sunday. Mr. Hale
does the retail business of Hamburg, and
although he only started a few years ago,
has built up a fine country business.

Mr. Higgins, of R. M. Rebstock's, has
been on the sick list for a few days.

Harry Bunyard paid a visit in the in-
terests of A. T. Boddington. He was
happy as ever and his bright smile always
commands attention.

David J. Scott is suffering with the
grippe at his Corfu home. E. A. S.

The Kind That Satisfy !

I received the Carnations all right and have not lost one. They were the finest I ever bought. and next season
I shall want more. I lost three out of five I bought of others. FRED J. NEWMAN, Deweyville, Texas.

January 30, 1908.

CENTAUREA IMPERIALIS.

Will you be so kind as to tell me how
to transplant the Centaurea imperialis, or
giant sweet sultan, from the seed boxes
to the open ground, where they are to be
grown for cutting the blooms? I wish to
plant them in rows like other plants, so
they will grow and be satisfactory. Also
please tell me how they are forced in the
greenhouse for cut flowers. F. C. P.

The annual centaureas do not bear
transplanting as well as the majority of
seedlings. If you want plants to set out-
doors, it would be much better for you to
sow one or two seeds in a number of
small pots; 3-ihch size would be suitable.
If turned out with a ball and carefully
planted, they would receive no check.
Grow them in a cool house, not over 50
degrees at night.

We have had no experience in forcing
Centaurea imperialis, but one or two ac-
quaintances who have tried it have not
found it at all profitable. Centaurea
Cyanus, especially the true dark blue one,
does well on a light bench in a cool house.
A very successful cultivator of these sows
his seeds in rows eighteen inches apart on
the benches early in September, giving
them a temperature of 45 to 48 degrees
at night. He picks quantities of flowers
all winter from these. We think you will
find C. Cyanus superior for indoor culture
to C. imperialis. C. W.

PELARGONIUMS.

Please let me know what size pots to
put pelargoniums in to bloom by Me-
morial day. I have a nice lot of them
now. jj P.

I presume you refer to the large-flow-
ering show pelargoniums. Do not allow
these to become pot-bound. You can
flower nice, bushy plants for Memorial
day in 5-inch to 6-inch pots. Grow cool.
Pinch the tops out of the leading shoots
to make the plants shapely. Pack some
tobacco stems among them to keep green
aphis in check, or fumigate every week
for the same object. Use a compost of
fibrous loam, dried cow manure and sand,
to which can be added a dash of bone
dust for the final potting. Feed liberally
when the pots are full of roots. C. W.

NEW LANTANA

VlOLET-KlNG

KING OF ALL LANTANAS

I shall introduce to the public the grandest novelty in Lantanas ever offered.

combination of colors ever seen in this flower.

It is the finest

This great novelty was grown by me In 1906 and has been tested
for 2 years. It Is a seedling from fiadlation, also a choice variety.
Vlolet-Klng In color and habit Is as follows: It Is a continuous
bloomer, making extra large buds. The umbels are of large size,
of light yellow and pink; opens yellow and golden center, changing
to pink and orange. When about one-half In full bloom the first
florets change to a beautiful violet-maroon shade (from which Its
name was taken) and It shows all these colors until in full bloom.
It makes the largest truss of any Lantana. The flowers last longer
than any other of 10 of the best varieties that I grow. This
variety roots in half the time required to root any other Lantana.
It is semi-dwarf.

Last year I grew and sold 6,000 Lantanas; 800 were Violet-
King, and sold for double the price of the other kinds. There were
as high as 5 to 8 flowers In full bloom at a time on each plant in

a 3-lnch pot. They were perfect beauties and always picked out
first by the customers.

I propagate my cuttings to have them ready by January 15 and
pot in 2-inch pots. About March 15 I shift to 3-inch pots, in which
they remain until sold at retail. In May and June. Those I root
after March 1 I pot In 2-lnch and shift to 2%-inch and sell from
this size. Out of the 6,000 I grew, 3,000 were of the smaller size.
Of these 2 lots of Lantanas, when In full bloom for market, the
3-lnch plants were not over 5 to 7 Inches high, while the 2%-lnch
were not over 3 to 5 inches high.

Now, this Is the way to grow Lantanas. This beautiful dwarf
bedding plant should be grown more by all florists, as there is
a demand for more than double the number grown. I intend to
grow from 10,000 to 12,000 each year and would grow double the
number if I had the room.

Now then, make out your orders, as I will offer to the public this new variety, and ten other
leading sorts. These varieties sell readily at from 75c to $1.50 per doz., in bloom, while the new
Violet- King sells first at from $1.50 to $2.00 per doz., in bloom. For prices on this grand novelty and
other varieties

HAMMOND'S GRAPE DUST

MILDEW ON ROSES, CARNATIONS, ETC.

Now, in regards to your "Grape Dust," I must say that when I first heard of it I had but
little faith in it, because I had tried all the remedies for Mildew I had ever heard of, but they were
of little value. It seems that my location favors Mildew especially. When other Florists are but
little troubled, my houses are generally well covered with the Mildew, so when I sent for the first
keg of "Grape Dust" my Roses were almost worthless, but since using the "Grape Dust" my
Roses are the " Picture of Health." There is not a vestige of Mildew to be seen on my place, and
my Roses fetch double the price; besides, I have saved a month of firing, which I used to be Qom-
pelled to do to kill Mildew. Yours respectfully.

The Weekly Rorists' Review.

JANDARX 30, 1908.

AS MANY FLOVS AS RETURNS ?

I have started to pipe a greenhouse 22x
108 feet, running east and west. There
are twenty-four inches of glass on the
south side. The house is protected on
the north side by another greenhouse.
There is a glass gable on the east end,
and the boiler-house is on the west end.
I intended to carry the water from the
boiler to the floor level, then running a
4-inch pipe the width of the house, con-
tinuing in 3-inch pipe to the manifolds
and using as many flows as returns.

I would thank you for suggestions that
would be better, and would like to know
the advantage of an expansion tank
twenty feet high over one twelve feet
high, and the advantage of more returns
than flows. C. L. C.

I judge from what you say that you
wish to use cast-iron pipe in your heat-
ing system. If you do not and can use
wrought-iron pipe as well, I would sug-
gest that you carry a 3i/4-inch flow under
the ridge of the house from the boiler to
the far end, there divide by 3-inch pipes
to supply as many manifolds as there are
benches, under which place in all thirteen
2-inch pipes, giving the extra pipe to the
most exposed side. The reason for this
plan is that you have pipes more easily
installed and deliver the hot water from
the boiler directly into the radiating
pipes under the benches at a higher tem-
perature than when as many flows are
used as returns. The far end of the house
will show less variation in temperature
from the near end than by your system.
A 20-foot expansion tank is eight feet
higher than a 12-foot one, thus adding
approximately four pounds' pressure to
the system, which in turn raises the boil-
ing point of the water in the boiler, thus
making it more efficient. The idea in a
heating plant is that the flow pipes act
merely as conveyors, while the returns act
as radiators. If a large number of flow
pipes are used the water is distributed
and begins to cool, so that by the time
it reaches the returns the temperature
has fallen many degrees, because of the
slow circulation due to many flows. One
end of the house is hot and the other end
cool, which is not desirable. L. C. C.

TEMPERATURE FOR SALESROOM.

"What is the proper temperature for a
salesroom where plants are kept! In
our place it has been from 65 to 73 de-
grees most of the trme. Will you tell
me if there are any kinds of flowering
plants which will or can stand such a
high temperature ? F. J. Y.

The correct temperature at which to
keep a salesroom where plants are to be
kept depends somewhat on the heat you
have. "With hot water or steam you might
run up a little higher than in the dry
heat from a coal stove or a hot-air fur-
nace. From 60 to 65 degrees is about
right. Of course, in the case of a sud-
den change in the weather it may run
a little above or below for a short period,
but this you cannot prevent and it will
do no harm.

While almost any blooming plants will
live in a temperature of from 65 to 73
degrees if given enough water, they will
not last. Azaleas, for instance, would
soon be too far advanced to sell, as would
hlacs, bulbous stock, etc. The tempera-
ture you speak of is really about right
for an ordinary living room, and any flo-
rist knows how short a time blooming
plants will last in the house. H. S.

TOLEDO, OHIO.

The Market.

There does not seem to be a discourag-
ing note as to future business. While
the sale of flowers has been somewhat
limited during the last few days, it has
not been an unexpected slump and there
is no disappointment expressed by the
local dealers.

There has been a steady demand for
roses, however, ever since the holiday sea-
son, and assorted varieties have been sold
in large numbers during the last few
weeks. There is not quite as strong a
demand for carnations as usual at this
time of the year and at present violets
seem to hold the call.

There is an ample supply of stock of
all sorts, and while shipments from the
putside have not been as great as they
might be, local growers report excellent
conditions.

Variotis Notes.

Mrs. E. Suder says that her hyacinths,
narcissi and violets are the best she has
ever raised, and that one house of sweet
peas is in exceptionally good condition.

Although there is no contest on among
local florists, it s6ems that each one is
trying to outdo the other in the matter
of beautiful window decorations. Par-
ticular among these show displays is the
window at the new retaU store of Geo. A.
Heinl, on Superior street, which is filled
to overflowing with azaleas, tulips, mar-
guerites, feweet peas and lilies of the val-
ley. The Schoen Floral Co., the Barrow
Floral Co. and the store of Miss Helen
Patten have other notable displays.

Geo. A. Heinl is spending several days
at his brother's home in Terre Haute,
Ind. Mr. Heinl 's health has not been
the best of late.

John Barrow, who for several years
has conducted a greenhouse on Detroit
avenue, near the outskirts of the city, has
opened a new retail store in a recently
completed building at Adams street and
Ashland avenue. Business has been in-
creasing in fine shape.

The Youngstown Floral Co., on Madi-
son avenue, expects 50,000 violets to be
delivered to its store in a few weeks for
the Valentine day trade. There is a par-
ticularly large demand for violets here on
this festal ^y.

John G. Heinl, of Terre Haute, Ind.,
visited his brother George, the local flo-
rist, several days last week. H. L. S.

The Beview will send the Book of
Grafted Eoses for 25 cents.

The Standard
Steam Trap

is acknowledged the best for the
florist because it is durable, and does
its work without trouble and annoy*
ance, saving its cost by the economy
in coal bills.

NEW ORLEANS.

Current G>mment

This is the time, at the end of Jan-
uary or in the first days of February,
when business is generally starting at the
market, and judging from the stock that
some florists are already bringing, buy-
ers must be thinking that our spring is
opening.

Paul Abele, George Thomas and M. M.
de Lapouyade, at the French market, had
an assortment of blooming plants that
could not be much better for an Easter
Sunday. Abele Bros, say that their
stock is unusually large and in good con-
dition.

E. Valdejo, the retired florist, has a
good sized piece of ground adjoining his
newly built residence. He cannot help
cultivating for a pastime, if nothing else,
and he says he cannot grow pansies and
sweet peas enough to supply the demand.

C. Ory met with a serious accident
while riding in his wagon on St. Charles
avenue. A missile was thrown at him
by a mischievous boy, breaking his nose.

Louis Brichner, formerly with U. J.
Virgin and the Metairie Eidge Nursery,

ST. PAUL.

The Market

Trade has been active since the holi-
days, the leading stores reporting a for-
ty-five per cent increase in sales over last
January. Stock has been of good qual-
ity, -with the supply about equal to the
demand. An unusual demand the last
week for funeral flowers has nearly ex-
hausted the supply of white flowers. Vio-
lets are in oversupply and of most excel-
lent quality. Some fine tulips and Golden
Spur daffodils are coming in.

Club Meeting.

The first regular meeting of the club
was held January 21, at Holm & Olson's
store. There were about seventy in at-
tendance and an interesting meeting was
held. Mr. Nagel read an interesting paper
on "Bedding and Bedding Plants,"
which was freely discussed by several.
This led to a question of prices and a
committee was appointed to fix prices for
the coming season. The advisability of
holding a flower show next fall will also
be decided by a committee named for
that purpose.

At the next meeting the subject of
bulbs will be open for general discus-
sion. The name of the club is the Twin
Cities Florists ' and Gardeners ' Club, and
the next meeting will be held at the City
park greenhouses, Thirty-eighth street
and Bryant avenue, Minneapolis, Tuesday
evening, February 18.

Various Notes.

Holm & Olson have some extra fine
long-stemmed white sweet peas, with
real apple blossom fragrance. Such stock
sells quickly. They had the decorations
and bouquets for the recent Hill-Barrows
wedding and used several hundred white
orchids for the occasion.

The traveling fraternity are moving
freely since the first of the year. We
recall the following as they flitted by,
among many others: B. Eschner, of M.
Rice & Co.; Allister Currie, of Currie
Bros.; Arnold Ringier and C. W, Scott,
of Chicago; Wm. Hagemann and Mr.
Knickman, of New York, and a dozen or
more Holland bulb men.

P. Holm returned January 19 from a
two weeks' trip in the east and has since
been laid up with the grippe.

A. N. Kinsman, of Austin, was a re-
cent caller. He is planning to build three
more rose houses the coming spring.

Theo. Wirth, superintendent of parks,
Minneapolis, is another grippe victim, but
is convalescing, we understand.

G. A, Carlsen, of Albert Lea; Neil
Neilson, of Mankato, and John Larson,
of Red Wing, were recent callers.

The burial of the late Mrs. William
Broadhead at Lake View cemetery, Jan-
uary 20, brought out the largest and
most beautiful collection of floral offer-
ings ever seen in this city. The deceased
was the wife of Wm. Broadhead, one of
the pioneers of the Pearl City, and is
survived by two sons, one of whom is
A. N. Broadhead, president of the Lake
View Eose Gardens Co. George Heelas
had charge of the floral arrangements,
which included a beautiful decoration of
the mausoleum. Large numbers of vio-
lets and cattleyas were used.

Fred A. Dorman intends dropping his
political appointment and devoting his
whole time to the business. He says pol-
itics and floriculture do not run well to-
gether.

Elliot Worden has the sympathy of the
craft in the long illness of his side part-
ner. It is hoped she will soon be around
to assist him, as of yore.

Thos. Eussell, of the Brooklyn Park
Greenhouses, is making plans for two,
and possibly three, houses for carnations,
having purchased a splendid location. The
old plant will be used for pot plants and
forcing lettuce, of which he makes a
specialty during the winter season. He
says Grand Bapids is the best variety.
He predicts a good summer lake season,
having several big orders on hand for
decorations.

Hayward Bros, predict a good season
in both garden and field seeds. George
Chambers, the hustling salesman, has
been invited to address the eoming meet-
ing of the grange on "Closer Relations

HEAT FOR GERANIUM HOUSE.

I am building a greenhouse, 10x100
feet, and wish to heat it with hot water.
The house has brick walls four feet high
and measures seven feet to the ridge.
What size of flow pipe under the ridge,
and how many feet of 4-inch pipe under
the benches, will be required to heat
this house for geraniums, in this Michi-
gan climate? Should the pipes that con-
nect the flow to the returns be the same
size as the flow? J. B.

If you wish to use 4-inch pipe, which I
should not do unless I had the pipe on
hand, the house in question should be
provided with five lines of pipe, using
one flow and four returns, or, if you
prefer, two flows and three returns. If
you use one flow, it can be used to
feed a manifold containing three re-
turns on one side of the house and one
on the same side as the flow. If two
flows are used, they may serve one side
and one may be divided to feed two re-
turns on the opposite side, while the
other may be carried entirely around the
house. Neither of these schemes is as
good, in my judgment, as to use 2-inch
and 3-inch malleable pipe, placing a
3-inch riser under the ridge and four
2-inch returns under each side bench,
fed from the one riser. The riser would
be carried from the boiler to the far end
of the house and there divided by 2Vj-
inch or 3-inch pipe to feed a manifold
on each side containing four 2-inch re-
turns. Then you would connect an ex-
pansion tank by means of a %-inch or
1-inch pipe to the main return close to
the boiler, and carry it twelve or fifteen
feet above the highest point in the
system. L- C. C.

know that you can put in a Standard Pumping* Eng^ine and
get better results by Pumping Directly into the Pipe

the faucets are shut off by changing hose connections ; none wasted.

varies as the standpipe becomes par-

make any difference t What pressure

You can use the city pressure in the
way you indicate. It will be well to
hold the pressure between twelve and
twenty pounds, depending upon the
pressure the boiler is guaranteed to
carry. If you have a good steel boiler
of the return tubular type, you might
use the city pressure without a reduc-
ing valve. If you use a reducing valve,
you should also equip the boiler with a
safety valve, set at three or four

A NEW DISEASE GERM.

While the entire country is now bat-
tling with the germ of "La Grippe, ' '
another, and more serious germ has
taken quite a foothold among those en-
gaged in the greenhouse business;
strange as it may seem, the robust,
active and prosperous in the profession
appear to be most susceptible to this now
disease.

While there is evidence of the pres-
ence of this germ at all seasons of the
year, it is most prevalent at about this
time. The symptoms are exhaustion,
restlessness and irritability during the
day, and mental depression, or acute in-
somnia during the night; this latter in
aggravated cases.

During the day the one affected may
be seen walking about with bowed head
and wrinkled brow, apparently oblivious
of all that is going on about him. When
seated at his desk he seems to be gazing
off in the distance at — nothing. When
called, or disturbed by the slightest
noise he is suddenly startled, and cold

perspiration moistens his brow. At the
table the most deliciously prepared
"favorite dish" seems to have lost its
charm. The cigar, which usually put
the finishing touch to his much enjoyed
dinner, now smiles at him in vain.

In short, the greenhouse man who has
been attacked by this germ might well
say with Marguerita in Faust, "Meine
Kuh ' ist hin ! Mein Herz ist schwer ! ' '
(My heart is laden! My rest is gone!)
Instead of having his thoughts on his
crop of flowers, or vegetables, or on the
popular problems of the grower, such
as green-fly, sow bug, thrips, mealy bug,
scale or mildew, they are diverted into
channels such as these:

"My present boiler capacity is not
sufficient. ' '

"My boiler is not in perfect condi-
tion, and is liable to give out during
next season."

"It is not doing my work satisfac-
torily."

"It is burning more coal than it
should. ' '

"If I decide to add any to my pres-

ent greenhouses, my boiler capacity will
not be sufficient."

"I expect to build new greenhouses,
and in case I do, I shall need a new
boiler for them."

Then comes the question: "How large
a boiler do I need!"

"What kind shall I buy!" etc., etc.

PIPING FOR WATER SUPPLY.

I am about to install a water supply
for my nursery. What size of main
pipes should I use to secure a good

pressure, and what size of branches?
The tank is eighteen feet high and the
ground slopes slightly down to the
greenhouses. How do you pack cast-
iron pipes? Do you pack them twice
with lead? T. E,

The pressure will be the same
whether you use a pipe one inch or one
foot in diameter. The size must be
determined by the quantity of water
you wish delivered in a given time. If
it is a supply for greenhouses that is
desired, a 2-inch main with 114-inch
laterals will prove large enough.

If you wish to use cast-iron pipes for
water supply, they are packed with
oakum and lead. If for hot water, rust
joints will be satisfactory. For this
purpose the following may be used:
Iron filings, two pounds; pipe clay, one
pound; powdered potsherds, five pounds,
made into a paste with brine.

Prof, Bailey's Views.

I have read with much interest the
letter of Thomas A. Kempton, in the Ee-
viEW for January 16. There is no sys-
tem of apprenticeship in this country
whereby a person can receive the kind of
practical instruction and training in
handicraft which Mr. Kempton wants. I
do not know that the florists' business
can ever provide such a system of ap-
prenticeship, since it is necessarily or-
ganized on the strictly commercial basis
and is not developed from the private
gardening idea. It is in the well-kept
and well-supported private garden that
one is to look for instruction of this kind,
unless he goes to the agricultural college
or to some other special public or semi-
public institution. The horticultural de-
partments in connection with some of the
great parks might afford a means for
training a few men. The Missouri Bo-
tanical Garden is doing much for the
floricultural interests.

In a number of the agricultural col-
leges considerable attention is now being
given to floricultural subjects. If a man
wants an education he must take time for
it and he must take "book knowledge"
as well as the rest. If he wants mere
practical training in some of the handi-
crafts, he will find facilities provided him
in many of the agricultural colleges in
the way of short courses and special
courses. It is undoubtedly to the agricul-
tural colleges that we are to look in the
end for help of this kind. One difficulty
is that the floricultural interests have not
yet asked the agricultural colleges for
help in such a definite way as other in-
terests have. There is no reason why the
florists should not be served as well as
the fruit growers, if they really desire
such service and organize themselves to
secure it. L. H. Bailey.

From a CoUeze Gardener.

I notice in the Review of January 16
that Thos. A. Kempton, Pasadena, Cal.,
is looking for a place where he can get
a jgood education in floriculture and gar-
dening. I think we would be able to
offer him an extra good opportunity to
learn the various branches of the trade
in our greenhouses, parks, gardens, arbo-
retum, nurseries and orchards. We also
have a complete library on all subjects
in horticulture and forestry, for study
and reference, and we receive a number
of papers published for gardeners and
florists, "^'-ri- Julius Erdmann.

College Gardener, Ames, Iowa;

College lot One Year.

In answer to T. A. Kempton 's ques-
tion, I would say, attend your agricul-
tural college for one year. These col-
leges are founded for the purpose of
helping us along practical lines.

By a little correspondence before
starting, a couise can be arranged to fit
the needs of a young florist. The prac-
tical work in the greenhouses, of from
oue to three or more hours a day, is

supplemented by book work bearing di-
rectly on the subject. There is also
time and space given for any experi-
mental work desired.

In these colleges there is little red
tape, expenses are reduced to a mini-
mum, and any energetic young person
can take such a course and earn enough
to carry him through the year, at the
same time.

The college that I attended had no
such course, but I requested it, for my-
self, and since then several more have
taken it. We were taught propagating by
seed-planting, grafting, budding, layer-
ing, top and root cuttings. We studied
plant diseases and remedies, structural
botany, soil and atmospheric conditions,
and all other kindred topics, thus secur-
ing a most valuable foundation for our
future work. Our florist was also a land-
scape gardener and a decorator, so the
knowledge gained was such as could not
be obtained in the same length of time
in a commercial establishment.

Let our young people make use of the
opportunities thus afforded them.

Myra Eggleston.

Help From Horticultural Papers.

I have noticed with interest the article
of Mr. Kempton in your issue of January
16, and later comments regarding the po-
sition of the young man in floriculture.
I am in entire accord with Mr. Kempton
and do not think his advisers quite un-
derstand his position.

Now, there are many hundreds, prob-
ably thousands, of' intelligent young men
in this country who desire to advance in
this profession, but are handicapped by
being with a small firm or one that makes
a specialty of one thing, or even by being
confined to one section in a large com-
mercial establishment, which prevents his
getting a knowledge of things beyond his
confines. Of course this state of things
cannot be eliminated, but could be greatly
improved if a horticultural paper would
run a series of articles on different sub-
jects, starting at the very beginning and
by easy stages covering the subjects com-
pletely, on lines somewhat similar to
those followed by correspondence schools.
We all read the carnation notes, the rose
notes, the plant notes and what not,
which are very interesting, but how much
more interesting and instructive would
these same notes be to a great many of us
if we had a more practical knowledge of
the flower or plant discussed!

Then again, take the average store
man, who desires to know something
about the growing of the things he han-
dles, but who has had no experience in
this. The plan that I have suggested is
about the only way in which he can get
a clear idea on it, as he will get little
satisfaction in questioning, and a book
on the subject is generally too technical
or dry for anyone but a student.

The agricultural colleges are all right,
but how many of us can attend themf
Neither does it pay to keep hopping
around from one establishment to an-

other, trying to get a knowledge of dif-
ferent plants.

As stated before, this matter cannot
be altogether changed, but I would sug-
gest that you have a competent person,
who knows the subject thoroughly, write
an article each week, starting with les-
sons for beginners and continuing until
the reader knows about all a man needs
to know on each subject. Different sub-
jects could be taken up in succession. I
^.m sure this would be appreciated by a
large part of your readers,

E. J. McCallum.

Study Under Specialists.

In reply to the question as to the way
to receive a good, all-round knowledge
of this trade or art, there is no direct
method or means of learning to be pro-
ficient rapidly, except in possibly one
particular branch.

From experience I would say to the
earnest beginner, do three years for little
or no money in a good private establish-
ment, because by doing so you learn a
little of everything, although not enough
to make you a specialist in anything.

Never accept a situation where you are
required to be a thorough gardener and
drive a team, milk cows, etc, but just
learn all there is to learn about your
trade, and it is quite extensive enough to
devote one's whole time to.

To the plant lover a selection of one of
the numerous branches to follow up
proves rather bewildering, but to the one
who would choose hybridizing, a year or
two in Erfurt, Germany, would, I believe,
be the very best course to follow. By
presenting one 's self, with a reference, in
the spring, there would be no difficulty in
obtaining a situation, with wages large
enough to support one, if economical. To
learn rose cultivation in detail, the vari-
ous French nurseries present opportuni-
ties. Belgium might be visited for the
study of decorative plants and orchids,
and England for the study of miscella-
neous stock.

The question arises, "Does it pay?"
In a pecuniary sense, not always. One's
compensation very often must be that he
knows more than the other fellow and is
able to impart knowledge. It should also
be borne in mind that climatic or other
conditions are not always a good excuse
for ignorance.

Needless to say, the experience is very
interesting and you often meet your fel-
low workers in after years in every clime.

PONICA.

The Missouri Botanical Garden.

In reply to the article on "Floricul-
tural Education, ' ' in the Review of Jan-
uary 16, I should like to state the follow-
ing facts:

If a young person interested in our
beautiful work wishes to learn all he can
about the how, why, and wherefore of
floriculture and its allied branches, both
practically and theoretically, I suggest
that he put himself in communication
with Prof. William Trelease, of the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden, and make ar-
rangements with him to be admitted to
the benefits of the last will of the late
Henry Shaw. He will not get the train-
ing of commercial hurry and rush for the
almighty dollar there, but will learn all
of those things which Mr. Kempton asks
about in his letter. Then the commer-
cial end of it is quickly added by good
will and a little apprenticeship.

The work at Shaw's Garden is both
manual and mental, each supplementing
the other.

I should be very glad to give anyone

THE RETAIL
FLORIST

VALENTINE'S DAY.

No retail florist should fail to make a
special window decoration for Valen-
tine's day. The stationery store, with
its wonderful creations of tissue paper
filigree, no longer has a monopoly of the
business for St. Valentine's day; the
young man has found out that his best
girl would much rather have a box of
violets.

For several years there has been a
marked increase in the flower business
for February 14 and last year those who
made attractive window displays of small
baskets, boxes and hampers well filled,
were rewarded by a most satisfactory
day's trade. The plantsman has not yet
made any impression on the business this
day, and the cut flowers have it almost
all to themselves. While all flowers share
in the actual demand, violets lead, and
a part of the window display should be
attractive packages of violets. You can
buy violet boxes, specially made for
putting up this flower, for as little as
2 cents apiece, and from that up to sev-
eral dollars each. For every-day pur-
poses the square box of violet hue is a
standard article, but heart-shaped boxes
are preferred for Valentine's day. See
that you have a supply of a quality such
as fits with your trade. Also see that
you have violet ties, pins and foil. You
will need them all.

Last year those stores that showed in
the window, boxes of cut flowers ar-
ranged to sell at 75 cents, $1, $2 or
more, according to their location, found
many sales. Bulbous stock goes nicely
in such boxes for Valentine's day and
with the present price of violets, bulbous
stock and carnations a nice box can be
put up to sell at from $1 to $2. Put a
few in the window with a price-card on
them and watch results.

Do not forget to have your newspaper
advertisement changed to call attention
to the special Valentine's day flowers.
If you are not doing any advertising in
your local newspaper, right now is an
excellent time to begin. Try it, and you
will see that a large number of buyers
had not thought of flowers as Valentines
and that they welcome the suggestion.
Half the science of getting business con-
sists of offering acceptable suggestions
to possible buyers.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.

For a Dinner Table.

The dinner-table decoration, "Diana
Driving the Butterflies," illustrated in
this issue, from a photograph, was ar-
ranged by Charles Henry Fox. Tliis
graceful effect, produced with simple
material, is especially adapted for spring.
It will be noticed that the beauty of the

arrangement is not dependent on a va-
riety of colors.

A NEW ORLEANS SHOWER.

The accompanying illustration of a
bridal bouquet is said to have been the
handsomest thing of its kind seen at any
wedding in New Orleans this season. It
was the work of the retail department of
Metairie Ridge Nursery Co., on Caronde-
let street. The materials are cattleyas,

lily of the valley and Adiantum Far-
leyense.

TEMPERATURE FOR A COOLER.

Will you kindly inform me as to
the temperature which best suits carna-
tions and roses in a cooler?

In our store we have a cooler built
so that the cold air comes directly down
on the flowers. It stands at from 48
to 50 degrees and keeps the roses well,
but carnations do not last over forty-
eight hours, as a rule, before they go
to sleep. It seems to me that perhaps
the cool air falling directly on the flow-
ers might cause this, and I am now
piping my cold air to the floor, so that
it will not cause any draft on them.

P. P.

Florists differ in their opinions as re-
gards the correct temperature for a
cooler or refrigerator in which flowers
are to be kept. About 50 degrees Fah-
renheit is, in my estimation, a good tem-
perature in which to store a variety of
flowers. For a storage room for Beauties
and other roses, from 44 to 48 degrees
is about the best.

I presume that the cooler you speak
of is cooled by the outside air. By re-
arranging your pipes so that there is no
draft and keeping the box at the fore-
going temperature, I am sure you will
have no further cause for complaint.
The current of air falling upon the flow-
ers in your cooler was probably the
cause of most of the trouble. One thing
you must bear in mind is that flowers
kept at about 50 degrees or warmer will
give far better satisfaction when taken
into a warm living-room than those
which have been kept at a lower tem-
perature, as the change is not so de-
cided. It is also a well-known fact that
carnations will keep better at from
50 to 55 degrees than in a cooler temper-
ature, for the cooler it is the more mois-
ture there is in the air, and this puts
them to sleep. H. S.

FUMIGATING.

In fumigating a greenhouse with many
kinds of plants, what amount of smoke
is safe to use and how long may it be
continued? C. A. P.

Much depends on the fumigant you are
using. Frequent fumigations, say once
a week, are preferable to occasional
heavy ones. It is far better, if pests are
getting the upper hand, to give a mod-
<^rate smoking for three successive nights,
rather than risk damage to your plants
by an overdose. Tobacco stems are most
likely to burn the foliage if used
strongly. Dampen them somewhat and
watch your fumigating pan that it does
not blaze, or much injury will result.
Add more stems and sprinkle water on
the pan when flames appear. If you
<'an discern objects eight or ten feet
away, the smoke is dense enough. With
tobacco dust there is far less danger of

injury to flowers and foliage. If you are
inexperienced in the business, why not
try some of the preparations in paper
form, purchasable in boxes by the gross?
You can use these on practically all
plants without injuring them. Directions
for use come on boxes or cans.

Geraniums and begonias will drop all
their flowers if you smoke heavily with
tobacco stems. A cold night is the best
in which to fumigate, when frost closes'
up the laps of the glass. A damp night
is also excellent. You should keep the
ventilators closed all night. When fumi-
gating in warm weather, ventilate
earlier and syringe overhead before the
sun strikes the plants. C. W.

ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS.

Will you kindly tell me if too moist an
atmosphere will cause the leaves of As-
paragus plumosus to drop ? C. A. P,

If you are wetting the foliage a good
deal, the foliage will decay where it is
somewhat dense, especially if little venti-
lation is being used. This asparagus
iikes a moist atmosphere, but it is better
not to syringe it overhead unless it can
be dried out before nightfall. C. W.

NAMES OF GERANIUMS.

We have recently bought out a small
greenhouse of geraniums of about 3,000
plants, from a man who sold them in
a country town and could not give the
names satisfactorily. I am sending you
a few blooms and could you give me the
names? I will number them, so please
name by number. I will send you more
as soon as they bloom. H. H. B.

The flowers reached us so withered as
to be beyond recognition. In sending a

fresh lot, pick flowers which are just
expanding and tie some damp cotton
wool around the bottoms of the stalks.
Let them stand in water twelve hours
before shipping and use a tin box to
prevent crushing.

MISS LUFFMAN WEDS.

From Spokane, Wash., comes word of
the marriage of Miss Amy Kennedy
Luffman and James R. Lambly January
18. The ceremony was performed at
All Saints' cathedral by the Very Rev-
erend Alfred Lockwood.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. George E. Luffman, of Birming-
ham, Ala., and is widely known among
the florists through having served for
many years as assistant to the secretary
of the S. A. F., having charge of the
secretary's oflBce at the annual conven-
tion, where she came in contact with
those of the trade from all over the
United States. Mr. Lambly is a business
man of Spokane, where Miss Luffman has
been in the flower business for the last
three vears.

ADIANTUMS UNDER ROSE BENCH.

Can adiantums be grown under rose
benches in summer and used for cut
greens during winter? If so, when should
the plants be started, of what size, and
should they be put in pots or in beds?

Greenhouse.

You may be able to get adiantums to
grow in a feeble sort of way under rose
benches, but any fronds produced under
such conditions would be worthless. If
you want adiantum fronds which will
have some substance and be of use to you
in winter, you must grow them near the
light. Excellent plants can be grown in

coldframes during summer. If you have
no spare house to grow them in, dig out
the earth below a few sashes, so as to
afford ample head room, and spread a
coating of oinders over the bottom. Stand
your pots on the cinders, and if at any
time snails are troublesome, dust the
ground over with fresh lime. Shade the
sashes well with a mixture of kerosene
and white lead. Keep moderately close
for a time, but air freely on hot days.
Plants can be grown in the frames from
June until the end of September, and
these will give you an invaluable crop of
fine fronds for winter use. C. W.

ROOTING GERANIUM CUTTINGS.

Would you kindly inform me regard-
ing the damping off of geranium cut-
tings? Do you think that- cutting above
or below a joint would make any differ-
ence in damping off or prolonging root
formation! F. S.

While the general practice has been
to trim geranium cuttings below a joint,
it is of course well known that they will
root if cut halfway between pairs of
leaves. Those rubbed off with a heel
will make roots the quickest and, being

harder at the base, are also less liable to
black rot. - We believe it makes little
difference whether the cut is above or
below a joint, in regard to damping off.
Cuttings taken from outdoor stock, or
from indoor stock which has made a rank
and soft growth, are much more liable
to rot off than those taken from plants
under glass, which have made a firm and
short-jointed growth. The percentage of
loss from the softer cuttings will be less
if, when they have been trimmed, they
are allowed to lie in the sun a few hours
before being placed in the cutting bench.
Geranium cuttings should always be
rooted in full sunshine. Give one thor-
ough watering at the outset; then allow
them to become (juite dry before giving
any more. A little overwatering will
speedily ruin a fine batch of cuttings. In
winter and spring it is far the best plan
to insert the cuttings singly in small pots
of light, sandy loam. At least ninety per
cent should root if they have a little
bottom heat and a top heat of 50 to 60
degrees. Cuttings taken with a heel or
cut below a joint will root a little quicker
than those taken above a joint, and we
would prefer taking them in that way.

Ventilation.

The long delayed cold wave has at last
arrived and taken its departure. Win-
ters which display such abnormal mild-
ness in December and January, usually
give us in February, March or April that
which has been omitted. The florist does
not chuckle as do the lumbermen and ice
dealers at the advent of severe weather,
for he knows it means a speedier diminu-
tion of his coal pile and a reduced output
of flowers, with, as a rule, no advance in
prices. In severe weather the demand
for flowers to be worn on the streets, at
the theaters and other public resorts, is
much reduced and florists ' trade is hardly
ever as good as when milder climatic con-
ditions prevail.

The old adage about the cold strength-
ening as the days lengthen is again hold-
ing good. With the longer days, however,
we get more sunlight and old Sol 's power
is increasing quite appreciably. While
heavy firing will be needed at night to
keep up temperatures, on sunny days,
even with a low temj>erature, nearly all
houses will require a fair amount of ven-
tilation. It is a poor plan to shut off
most of the fire-heat and cool off the
houses so that little air is required. Of
course, some valves must be closed, but
suflScient should be left on to keep the
atmosphere warm and buoyant and per-
mit of ventilation being admitted for
several hours a day. In ventilating, use
due caution; put it on gradually and
reduce it in the same way. The man who
allows his house to run up to 80 or 90
degrees and then rushes on a foot of air,
deserves to have mildewed roses or burst
camationa. Try to admit a little air
every day when conditions are suflSciently
genial,^ in order to sweeten the atmos-
phere in your houses. Your plants can
no more be expected to thrive in houses

with closed ventilators than you your-
selves will do so in dwellings where the
windows are not opened daily. How to
properly ventilate is difficult to teach.
The man who can master it will make a
successful grower. At no time of the
year is careful ventilation so necessary
as during ^ the late winter and early
spring months.

Chrysanthemums.

It is, of course, much too early to
propagate chrysanthemums for bench
planting, but many fiorists have no doubt
picked up a limited stock of desirable
novelties or standard sorts they would
like to plant in larger quantity another
year. In such cases a good batch of cut-
tings should be placed in the cutting
bench at once. In about three weeks
these, under proper conditions, can be
potted off. If these plants, when estab-
lished, can be set out in a bench or in
boxes, they will soon give a lot of splen-
did cuttings. Do not run exclusively to
single-stem Japanese varieties. The pub-
lic taste favors the single anemone and
pompon classes more strongly than ever.
Grow some of each of these, especially
if you have a local retail trade. A tem-
perature of 50 degrees at night will root
mums nicely. Do not allow the sun to
strike them until they are rooted. Keep
the cuttings well watered until roots ap-
pear; then reduce the supply.

Heliotropes.

Heliotropes are always popular for bed-
ding and are invaluable for window and
piazza boxes and vases. A good bottom
heat is needed to root them. Few cut-
tings vdll fail to root if conditions are
right. Keep warm a few days after pot-
ting; then place in a house kept at 50 to
54 degrees at night. From these early

rooted cuttings plenty of tops can be ob-
tained later to still further increase the
stock. Heliotropes are also easily propa-
gated from seed and some fine forms may
be obtained in this way. The plants show
a surprising vigor, where standard helio-
tropes are grown, and they are becoming
popular in formal gardens. They can be
grown much more easily from seedlings
than from rooted cuttings. '■_ ^^•

>' ",Show Pelargoniums*

• As Easter comes unusually late this
year, it will be quite possible to have a
batch of pelargoniums in flower for that
holiday. When they are wanted in bloom
thus early, no further stopping of the
shoots must be done. Give them a shift
into their flowering pots as soon as possi-
ble and grow on in a cool, airy and sunny
house. Where the flowers and plants are
more in demand at Memorial day, any
necessary pinching may be done for a
month yet. Green aphis has a special
fondness for these pelargoniums and will
speedily ruin them if not persistently
fought. A fumigation once a week will
keep this pest in control, while some to-
bacco stems scattered among the plants
and renewed every two or three weeks
will materially aid in keeping them clean.
Pelargoniums should not have a night
temperature exceeding 50 degrees, and 45
degrees will be better.

Hydrangeas.

Hydrangeas will probably be rather
more in evidence than usual next Easter.
Its late date makes it possible to have
these showy plants in flower without too
hard forcing. Plants, to have them in
flower by April 19, should have been
started right after Christmas and ought
now to be growing freely. As they grow
very rapidly, it is necessary to frequently
give them more room. Keep them well
exposed to the sunlight to make them
stocky, and remember that hydrangeas
are very thirsty plants, needing lots of
water, and when the pots are well filled
witn roots, liquid manure every fourth
to fifth day should be applied. Probably
some of your plants do not promise to
flower well, but carry a good crop of cut-
tings. Get a good batch of these in the
cutting bench. These can be grown along
to make fine stock for forcing for another
Easter or Memorial day.

Brief Reminders.

A mulching of well decomposed and
broken-up cow manure on the violet
benches will now benefit them.

If you have not started spiraeas (as-
tilbes) for Easter yet, get them under
cover. They will not need hard forcing.

Keep the propagating benches filled
while you have a good bottom heat. Do
not leave cuttings any longer in the
sand than you can help, after they are
rooted.

Water seed boxes and pots carefully.
A little neglect may mean many failures.

If you have not already sown fibrous
rooted begonias, such as Erfordii and
Vernon, do so at once.

Start amaryllis as you see the flower
spikes pushing. A little bottom heat
is good for them.

When firing heavily, damp under the
pipes and benches to prevent excessive
aridity. Keep a watch for red spider
where plants are nearest to the pipes.

Do not keep the leaf cuttings of
Lorraine begonias too close, or most of
the leaves will rot. As soon as little
shoots show, pot them up. Get in a
further crop of well ripened leaves.

INDOOR SUMMER CULTURE.

[A paper by E. A. Harvey, of Brandywine
Summit, Pa., read before the Florists' Club of
Philadelphia, February 4.]

There is probably no cut flower of
which the methods of culture have
changed more in the last six or seven
years than is the case with the carna-
tion. When we began growing carna-
tions, six years ago, we benched
from the field about the middle of Sep-
tember, as this was the universal custom
among Chester county carnation grow-
ers, and generally so throughout the
United States, although some of the
large growers around New York were
practicing early planting. Now from
the middle of July to the middle of
August is generally conceded to be the
proper time to house from the field.

The next development would naturally
be indoor culture exclusively. To the
writer's knowledge, the first grower who
practiced this method to any extent was
Charles W. Ward, of Queens, L. I.,
who has always been a leader in the
development of the divine flower. I well
remember seeing in 1903, at Mr. Ward's
range, a house of Enchantress that had
been grown inside over summer and I
was struck with amazement at their mag-
nificence. I do not think that I have
ever seen them surpassed by any variety.

Potting and Benching.

To succeed with indoor culture, strong,
healthy cuttings should be put in the
sand not later than February 1; those
potted up before February 15 are pref-
erable. We first use 2-inch pots, and
when these are well filled with roots,
plant in a bench four inches apart each
way. Some growers again repot to 3-
inch or 4-inch pots and hold them in
these until they are finally planted in
the benches. When many plants are
grown this method makes a great deal
of work in watering, as the pots dry
out very rapidly when hot weather comes,
and the young plants are also liable
to become potbound before the benches
are ready for them. When their growth
is once stunted they are practically use-
less. At each transplanting all the weak
plants should be set aside. A weak
cutting may recover in the field, but
will never pay for itself grown inside.

As soon after Decoration day as pos-
sible the old plants should be thrown
out, the houses refilled with a good, rich
compost and the young plants put in
their final place.

Care must be taken with the watering.
There is not much danger of overwater-
ing in summer. The benches should
'lot be allowed to become soggy, but

there is greater danger in allowing the
soil to get too dry. As soon as it be-
gins to appear a light color on top it
should be wet thoroughly; otherwise the
plants will become hard and woody, and
will not break freely. Although shading
is generally objected to, we believe a
light shade is beneficial. We put a
thin coat of whiting on every other row
of glass about the first of July, and
remove it early in September. This aids
materially in keeping down the tempera-
ture and does not cause a weak growth
unless the plants are overwatered.

Ventilating and Spraying.

Full ventilation should be given both
day and night, except when a strong,
dry wind is blowing immediately on the
plants, which dries out very rapidly
both plants and soil, and is very likely
to bring on an attack of red spider.

This insect is about the only one
that will cause trouble in the summer,
and a thorough spraying with cold water
twice a week will, we have found, keep
down this pest. Should it appear, how-
ever, the plants should be sprayed every
day until they are clear, as the spider
will cause a great deal of damage in
a verj' short time, from which it will
tdke a long time for the plants to re-
cover.

The same carg should be taken in
pinching as in the field. Do not break
back too high, as this will cause a top-
heavy growth, and the plants will be
broken up by the spraying. As soon
as the shoots begin to elongate and
show the stem between the leaves, the
top should be taken out, leaving three
or four joints. Do not leave the plants
two or three weeks and then break off
all the shoots at once, but go over them
every week, topping all the longest ones.
This will make a more even growth and
lessen the tendency toward cropping.

Keeping the Soil in Condition.

The benches should be frequently cul-
tivated during the summer, both to keep
down the weeds and to prevent the sur-
face of the soil from becoming hard and
baked. If the soil was well fertilized
with cow manure and bone meal before
it was put in the benches, no feeding
will be necessary during the summer.
Through the fall we use top dressings of
bone meal and sheep manure every two
or three weeks, omitting all feeding
through December. In January, when
the days become longer and we get
more sunshine, we use a stronger and
quicker acting commercial fertilizer.
Feeding with liquid manure would doubt-

less be beneficial, but we have never used
this method.

If by the first of July the plants
in the houses are as large as those in
the field, you may consider that you
have been successful, for, although
through July and August the field plants
will make faster growth than the indoor
stock, these will catch up later. There
is always some check upon plants benched
from the field, and often it is very se-
vere, if the conditions are not right.
This is especially the case in a wet
season.

Advantages of Indoor Culture.

One of the greatest advantages of
indoor culture is the fact that we have
control of the watering, and this is es-
pecially important since stem-rot has
made its appearance. How often does
it happen that half of the plants die
in the field, and again half of the re-
maining ones die after they have been
planted in the houses, and it is nearly
spring before we begin to cut good flow-
ers! With proper indoor culture the
ravages of the dreaded stem-rot are re-
duced to a minimum.

.\nother advantage of this method is
tliat large flowers with long stems can
bo cut early in the fall, when they
briiifT good prices and when none of the
profits go into coal bills. A steadier cut
is also assured through the winter, and
there is less danger of getting the heav-
iest crop when prices are low.

Some varieties are undoubtedly better
suite<l to indoor growing than others.
As a rule, the broad foliaged, strong
growing kinds are best adapted to it.
xMrs. Lawson and Winsor are notable ex-
amples; in fact, we would not attempt
to grow them any other way.

A Common Objection.

The greatest objection offered to in-
door culture is the fact that the June
cut is lost. However, at this time car-
nations bring very low prices and, after
all, the problem is how to make each
square foot of bench surface produce
the most money. If we can make the
returns through the fall and winter more
than cover the loss during the summer
by indoor culture, we are foolish not
to adopt it.

It is not urged that this method is an
easy way to success in carnation growing.
It certainly will not help that grower
who is used to letting the plants take care
of themselves. A little neglect is far
more disastrous to indoor stock than to
plants in the field.

I should not advise anyone to change
his whole plant immediately from one

method to the other, but he should first
try a house, or at least a bench, and
prove for himself which way is the
better under his conditions. Some of
the largest and best growers in the coun-
try practice indoor culture exclusively,
and many others in part of their plant,
and they certainly would not do so if it
did not pay them. When any new
method of doing things is taken up by
the leaders in the trade, we owe it to
the success of our business to at least
see for ourselves if there is anything in
it; otherwise we shall soon be bringing
up the tail of the procession.

HEACOaCS No. 100.

The George H. Cooke special prize at
the Washington convention "was $10 in
gold "for the best twenty-five blooms of
a pink seedling or sport darker than En-
chantress and lighter than Lawson,
never before winning a prize or medal. ' '
This was won by No. 100, exhibited by
Joseph Heacock, Wyncote, Pa. Mr. Hea-
cock wishes to have it clearly understood
that No. 100 is not a sport but a seed-
ling (Lawson on Enchantress) and is
a stronger grower and more productive
than any Enchantress that he has over
seen. The variety was also given a cer-
tificate, the judges scoring it 86 points.

EXPERIMENTS IN CARNATIONS.

fA synopsis of an address by Dr. B. T. dallo-
way. of the t'nited States Department of Ajtrl-
cultnre, delivered before the American Ciiriiatloii
Society at the Washlnpton convention, Jiinuarv
28 to .-{0, 1808.1

Dr. Beverly T. Galloway, chief of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, in his address
before the .society called attention to the
experiments and tests of various kinds,
connected with the growing of carnations,
which have been carried on by the Do
partment of Agriculture for several
years. He stated that the work had for
its object the securing of information on
the follmving points:

1. The relative yield and vigor of
plants grown under glass all summer, as
compared with plants of the same vari-

etry grown outdoors during the summer
season and moved to the benches in the
usual way and at the usual time.

2. Fertilizer tests to determine the ef-
fect of different fertilizers, alone and in
various combinations, on vigor and yield.

3. A study of hereditary tendencies in
so far as they may affect continuous
vigor and healthfulness and yield.

4. The securing of new and desirable
types by crossing.

5. A study of fundamental questions
of breeding, with a view to securing data
that will be of value to carnation grow-
ers and others in the improvement of
their crops.

6. A study of diseases and means of
preventing them.

Field and Indoor Plants.

Dr. Galloway took up the subjects in
the order given, using a table or chart,
large enough to be seen by all present, to
illustrate the results of experiments con-
ducted during the summer of 1906 and
the winter of 1907, to determine the rela-
tive yield of field and indoorrgrown
plants. He explained how the experi-
ment had been conducted, namely, by
propagating plants from stock of four
varieties, care being taken to have the
stock of as nearly equal vigor and pro-
ductiveness as possible. Four benches in
the greenhouse were given over to the
work, each holding about 1,000 plants,
and these benches were planted with
stock from 3-inch pots, two rows the en-
tire length of each bench being reserved
for the plants grown outdoors. Dr. Gal-
loway stated that the field-grown plants
were given the usual treatment and
produced fair average growth, but
were not as large as those grown on the
benches when brought in in September.

He stated that the results, as shown by
the chart, were, without exception, very
much in favor of the indoor-grown
plants, in many cases the increase being
over 100 per cent. He added, however,
that while the results were so strikingly
in favor of growing plants under glass
the season through, from the standpoint
of the Department, other considerations
have to be kept in mind, such as the rela-
tive cost of the two methods, the produc-
tion for an entire season, the utilization
of the houses for other purposes, mainte-
nance,- etc., in determining what method
to pursue.

Experiments With Fertilizers.

The speaker also used the chart to il-
lustrate his remarks upon the fertilizer
experiments which the Department had
carried on. He said that this experiment
had been planned to bring out, if possi-
ble, the fact that growers as a rule are
prone to overestimate the value of com-
mercial fertilizers in crop production, and
he said he believed the results of the ex-
periment would show that there is no fer-
tilizer so good, reliable and sure as well

decomposed organic manure — something
which could be secured anywhere in the
country. He said, however, that experi-
ments of this kind, to be conclusive, must
be carried on for a number of years in
various places. He cautioned the grow-
ers to go slowly on commercial fertilizers
and to put their faith and work into
good composts.

He explained the work the Department
had been doing in its study of hereditary
tendencies in plants in so far as these
tendencies may affect continuous vigor,
kealthfulness and yield. He said the
question of whether there is true bud
variation was still an open one, but that
at the same time he did not think the
importance and value of careful and
rigid selection of stock could be ques-
tioned. This the Department has been
doing, and he stated it was its intention
to continue this selective work for several
years, until the effects could be fully
demonstrated.

The speaker mentioned the work the
Department had been doing in the pro-
duction of new types by crossing, and
referred to some of the crosses that
niight be seen in the greenhouses.

He said that Prof. Norton, whose talk
was to follow his, would explain in de-
tail the fifth line of work, namely, a
study of fundamental questions of
breeding, which work, he stated, had
been carried on by Prof. Norton before
leaving the Department.

Diseases of Carnations.

Dr. Galloway now took up the sixth
lin^ of work which the Department had
been conducting, namely, an investiga-
Hon of the diseases of carnations.
Among the diseases studied was the wet
stem-rot, due to rhizoctonia, which he
stated continues to be one of the most
''furious diseases with which the growers

have to contend, but that it could be
controlled by growing the plants in well
drained and well aerated soil containing
plenty of lime, and by avoiding mechan-
ical injury to the plants. He also men-
tioned the dry stem-rot, a disease caused
by fusarium, one of the wilt fungi, and
stated that the only remedy for this dis-
ease was the use of sterilized soil and
the liberal use of acid phosphate.

Two other diseases to which attention
was called were the macrosporium spot,
which he said could be prevented by
spraying with Bordeaux mixture, and the
bacterial spot, a disease occurring only
in wet seasons on the softer-leaved varie-
ties. This disease, he stated, might be
controlled by light syringing with a mix-
ture of two parts commercial formalde-
hyde to 1,000 parts water.

Dr. Galloway closed his remarks by
assuring the society that the Department
was always at its service, and with an in-
vitation to its members to visit the De-
partment greenhouses.

BUD ROT OF CARNATIONS.

Bulletin No. 103 of the Agricultural
Experiment Station of Nebraska contains
"The Bud Rot of Carnations," by F,
D. Heald, and "A Mite Accompanying
the Bud Rot of Carnations," by R. H,
Wolcott.

"During the last few years a trouble-
some and destructive disease of carna-
tions has been prevalent in a number
of the greenhouses of the state. The
disease affects the buds in various stages
of maturity and produces a rotting of
the petals and other flower parts, at
least the parts enclosed by the calyx,
thus interfering with the normal open-
ing of the flower. The disease has there-
fore been termed the bud rot of the
carnation," says Dr. Heald.

' ' The bud rot of carnations was first

reported in 1905 by Dr. Wolcott from
specimens received from a greenhouse
at Beatrice, Neb. He attributed the
trouble entirely to a mite which was
constantly present in the affected buds.
The mite was briefly described as be-
longing to a new and hitherto unde-
scribed species and possibly a new
genus. At this time the fungus origin
of the trouble was not suspected.. Later
in the same year the same trouble was
reported to the writer and an investiga-
tion was begun. The first examination
showed the mites, and in addition the
rotting petals were found to be per-
vaded by the mycelium of a fungus.
An examination of the rotting buds led
to the belief that the mites were only
secondary, and that the fungus was the
primary factor in causing the disease.
"The bud rot does not seriously af-
fect the plant, as the fungus is confined
entirely to the buds. It has never been
found growing on other parts. The in-
jury is due, then, solely to the fact that
affected buds produce deformed flow-
ers or entirely fail to develop. Flowers
which upon superficial examination ap-
pear only slightly malformed are badly
rotted within the calyx and soon wither
and die. This fact has been especially
noted in the discussion of the symptoms.
If the buds have remained without in-
fection until the calyx has opened suf-
ficiently to expose the tips of the petals,
subsequent infection will cause but slight
injury, as the fungus does not have time
to develop before the flower has ex-
panded. In houses where the trouble is
severe the buds become infected when
quite small, probably when not more
than one-half inch long. When infec-
tion took place at this early stage many
of the buds rotted before they had time
to open, or if they did open at all pro-
duced very imperfect and worthless

flowers. The actual loss from the dis-
ease may vary from a fraction of one
per cent to twenty-five or more per cent
in badly affected plants. In one small
house the grower reported a loss of
$1.50 to $2 per day from the bud rot
of the Lawson variety.

"The bud rot can easily be prevented
from becoming severe, if it is intro-
duced into a house, by pursuing the
proper measures. The most successful
growers of carnations have little to fear
from this disease, as' conditions in the
well-regulated houses are unfavorable
for the spread of the disease. Even
though the disease is present, it vdll not
become general if proper precautions are
observed. In order to test this by direct
experiment, Lawson carnations were ob-
tained from a house where the disease
was especially prevalent and then grown
for a time under conditions as favorable
for the disease as possible; that is, by
overwatering and allowing the accumu-
lation of cuttings, rotting buds and other
debris. After the disease was well es-
tablished the watering was made less
frequent and a less amount of water
was employed, while the benches and
surroundings were kept free from de-
caying organic remains. All affected
buds were removed as soon as observed
and at once destroyed. By pursuing this

destruction of all refuse that might of-
fer a temporary lodging place for either
fungi or mites.

"2. Keep the moisture down to the
minimum necessary for the healthy
growth of the plants.

"3. Pick off all affected buds as
soon as they appear and destroy by burn-
ing. Do not under any conditions throw
them down on the benches. The benches
should be gone over at least every other
day until the disease is thoroughly un-
der control."

A BELATED REPORT.

Through the wretchedly poor service
which characterizes the Chicago office of
the Western Union Telegraph Co., the
following message failed to reach the
REVIEV7 in time for publication with
the rest of the report of last week's
meeting of the Carnation Society:

"At the session Wednesday evening
S. S. Skidelsky presented a paper en-
titled 'What the Buyer Has Reason to
Expect of the Introducer of a New
Carnation. ' In the discussion Fred Burki
said a word for the introducer, contend-
ing that every variety is disseminated
with the best of intent and that if
healthy, well rooted cuttings are shipped,
the introducer is doing his part. F. R.

method the disease was entirely stamped
out. The treatment recommended was
followed in one large commercial bouse
with very satisfactory results.

"The work which has been carried out
up to the present time leads to the con-
clusion that the disease can be prevented
or eradicated if the following measures
are carefully heeded:

"1. Practice clean culture, with the

Pierson added that the trade has reason
to expect that a variety has been given
an adequate trial on all points prior to
disseminating.

"W. N. Rudd spoke in humorous vein
on ' What the Introducer Has Reason
to Expect of the Buyer of New Va-
rieties. ' He insisted that every dis^
seminator has full confidence in the nov-
elty he sends out and said the introducer

is entitled to fair treatment in the han-
dling of novelties by buyers. He main-
tained that it is unfair to force and
top cuttings to multiply the stock
bought and then complain of weak plants.
F. R. Pierson closed the discussion by
asserting that in view of the great ad-
vance made in the last ten years, in-
troducers as a body are entitled to the
hearty thanks of the trade instead of
implied censure.

' * After a paper by Irving Gingrich, on
'Cultural Methods,' was read by J. H.
Dunlop, Mr. Rudd introduced the sub-
ject of the national flower show and
Mr. Kasting stated the guarantee fund
is now $12,450. Three medals were
voted for the premium list and new
dies ordered, reading 'American Carna-
tion Society Medal,' instead of 'Lawson
Medal.'

"The society's regular judges were
nominated to act on carnations at the
national flower show."

NEW ROSE GROWING PLANT.

Word comes from Springfield, O., that
Charles C. Leedle, president of the Leedle
Floral Co., together with Charles P. Brun-
ner, Henry J. Roth, Mark M. Livings-
ton and James Sager, have filed articles
of incorporation with the secretary of
state at Columbus for the formation of
the Leedle Rosary Co.

Early in the spring the company will
erect a large range of glass near the
establishment of the Leedle Floral Co.,
which will be devoted entirely to growing
roses for cut flowers. The plant wiU
be modern in every particular. Mr.
Leedle will give his attention to both
companies. His son, Arthur C. Leedle,
will be active in the management of the
new company. Mr. Leedle is a thorough
business man, and judging from the
success of the Leedle Floral Co. in grow-
ing and shipping rose plants, the new
company will meet with success in grow-
ing roses for cut flowers.

LILY BULBS IN THE U. S.

Referring to the account of the work
of the Department of Agriculture in
growing bulbs of Easter lilies in the
United States, published in the Review
of January 23, George W. Oliver con-
tinues:

Selection of Seed Bearers.

The seedlings now growing in Cali-
fornia are principally crosses between
the Harrisii variety and the dark-
stemmed variety of longiflorum known
as giganteum; others are straight Har-
risii seedlings. The crosses are exceed-
ingly vigorous and the Harrisii plants
are also more vigorous than the parents,
but less vigorous than the crosses. The
plants selected for bearing seed were
apparently free from the disease, which
manifests itself in spotted leaves,
dwarfed growth and distorted flowers.

In selecting ground for planting seed
bearers it should be so arranged that
lilies will not be grown on it for at least
three years afterwards.

The Selection of Seedling Types for
Propagation.

The variations among the second gen-
eration seedling plants are easily recog-
nizable. A batch of seedlings has usu-
ally four distinct kinds: Dark-stemmed
(1) long-leafed and (2) short-leafed,
and green-stemmed (3) long-leafed and
(4) short-leafed. Three of these kinds
are marked by tying on pieces of raffia,

twine, and strips of rags, respectively,
wlule the fourth series of plants re-
mains unmarked. One kind is lifted at
a time and kept separate for future
propagation by division only, as it is
scarcely worth while to employ the te-
dious method of scale propagation.

Preparation of the Soil.

The preparation of the soil in the
field should be attended to much in ad-
vance of the time the seedlings are
ready to be planted out. If after a
very heavy manuring a crop of potatoes
or cabbage be taken from the ground,
it will be in good order for the recep-
tion of the seedlings. In well-com-
pacted soils a heavy crop of cowpeaa or
other legume deeply plowed under the
previous summer should bring about
good results. Immediately before plant-
ing, the soil should be worked by disk-
ing, rolling and harrowing to make it
smooth and easy to manipulate when
putting in the seedlings.

Beds versus Rows.

The question of growing the seed-
lings in prepared beds or in rows at
equal distances apart in the field is im-
portant. The bed system requires hand
work, while cultivation in rows two to
three feet apart can be done with a
horse machine. The beds have the fol-
lowing advantages: When the lilies
are planted moderately close together,
the foliage partly shades the ground and
the lilies protect each other so that they
are not likely to be whipped about by
the wind; moreover, by the bed system
more bulbs can be grown to the acre
than in rows wide apart. The foliage
of bed-grown plants is unquestionably
of a deeper green than that of plants
grown in rows. In irrigating, the
sunken spaces or alloys separating the
beds can be used to convey the water.
In Bermuda the lilies are all grown in
narrow beds and no irrigation is prac-
ticable, much to the detriment of the
<'rop at times. Growing lilies in beds

with hand cultivation is necessarily more
expensive than in rows wide apart with
horse cultivation, but it is likely to be
found that the additional expense at-
tending bed culture will be more than
warranted by the returns, as this crop
must not be viewed in the same manner
as the ordinary field crops which yield
$20, $40 or $100 to the acre. It is con-
sidered in Bermuda that an acre of lilies
is not much of a success unless it yields
from $1,000 to $2,000.

At Time of Planting.

The seedlings at planting time are
necessarily very small, having only a
few very short and narrow leaves — in
fact, they seem anything but promising
— and to one who has not had experience
in this line of work the appearance of
the seedling plants would very naturally
tend to discouragement. The rows in
the bed should be about eight inches
apart, and the plants at least five
inches. If the soil is loose and easily
worked, they can be put in by hand;
otherwise a short trowel is the handiest
tool. Care should be taken not to have
the seedling bed too wet at the time of
transplanting, as this has a tendency to
make the plants flabby. Water should
be given as soon as they are put in the
ground.

HARDY PLANTS FOR CUTTING.

I want to plant a half acre or more in
hardy plants for summer cut flowers.
Will some one please give me a list of
the best things, especially good novel-
ties! I am located in southern Ohio, one
hour from the market. C. P.

The following hardy perennials will
winter in the latitude named and would
be valuable for cut flower purposes: Tri-
toma Pfitzeri; Dianthus barbatus, or
sweet William; Spiraea venusta, S. astil-
boides, S. Chinensis; Scabiosa Caucasica;
Pyrethrum hybridum, P. uHginosum;
Physostegia Virginiana. P. alba; phlox,

including such good sorts as Miss Lin-
gard, CoqueUcot and Beranger. In peo-
nies the following are good: Festiva
maxima, Francois Ortegal, Marie Le-
moine. Lady Bramwell, Zoe Calot and
Whitleyi. Among liliums are L. specio-
sum, in variety, L. auratum, L. candidum,
L. tigrinum. Lychnis Viscaria splendens,
Liatris pycnostachya. Iris include Span-
ish, German and other classes, all good
for cutting. The Japanese varieties are
the most gorgeous.

Heuchera sanguinea, Helenium autum-
nale superbum, Helianthus rigidus Miss
Mellish, H. multiflorus plenus, H, Max-
imiliani, Gypsophila paniculata, Eupato-
rium ageratoides and E. coelestinum,
Echinops Ruthenicus, Funkia subcordata
grandiflora, digitalis, all the delphiniums,
Coreopsis grandiflora, Cimicif uga simplex,
pompon chrysanthemums. Campanula Me-
dium and C. persicifolia grandiflora, any
of the better asters, Boltonia latisqyama
and B. asteroides, Aquilegia chrysantha
and A. glandulosa, Anemone Japonica,
Achillea Ptarmica The Pearl.

A few plants, either novelties or re-
cently introduced in America, are: As-
tilbe Queen Alexandra, Astilbe Davidii,
Anthericum Liliastrum giganteum, In-
carvillea Delavayi, Stenanthiura robus-
tum, Stokesia Japonica, Gypsophila pani-
culata flore pleno, Dianthus Napoleon
III, Aster Sub-ccerulous, Trollius Japoni-
cus Excelsior.

In bulbous plants the narcissi are all
valuable. For commercial purposes yel-
low Trumpet varieties are in best call,
followed by the poeticus and Leedsii sec-
tions. Montbretias are hardy on well
drained land. Lilv of the valley does
well under field culture if the soil is a
generous one. All hardy plants need some
fall protection, in the way of a mulch of
short strawy manure, to carry them
through safely^ W. N. Craig.

NiLES, O. — John Dunston has added
this winter one greenhouse, 24x175, of
Moninger construction. He has also
built a brick boiler-house and installed a
ninety horse-power boiler.

ILLINOIS ASSOCIATION.

The Illinois State Florists' Association
will hold its third annual convention in
Springfield, February 18 and 19. The
local florists' club is making great prep-
arations to entertain the guests and to
make this convention one of the best that
has ever been held. The Springfield Flo-
rists' Club particularly requests a good
exhibition and calls on all who have any-
thing of merit to bring it; if you cannot
come personally, send it and it will be
taken care of. The public will be invited
to visit this exhibition on Tuesday and it
is expected an unusually large number of
the citizens of the capital city and sur-
rounding towns will take advantage of it.

These open and free exhibitions are a
good feature, as they bring before the
public the newer varieties of flowers, etc.,
and cause a demand for them, and also
educate the people up to a higher appre-
ciation of the florists' art. It is also
good for the florist who is not able to
visit the many establishments and see
these newer varieties growing.

Let me urge upon all who possibly can.
to attend our convention; whether mem-
bers or not. all will be welcome. Our
association stands for Illinois as the na-
tional society stands for the United
States, and through its combined efforts*
in legislature and other ways can do
more to advance the cause of floriculture
than anything I know.

"We shall be pleased to welcome, and do
cordially invite, delegates from other
state florists' societies and florists' clubs
to be with us and participate in the work
of our society. It Avill give me great
pleasure to answer any correspondence
in regard to our as.sociation and its work.

Our association, through its members,

has^'done good work in gaining recogni-
tion from the state, for floriculture and
establishing an experiment station. This
is only the beginning. Better things are
in store for us. The association is full
of practical, energetic and patriotic work-
men who are willing to give of their best
for the advancement of our cause. The
day is not far distant when we will see
a practical course for florists at our State
University. Illinois is big enough, broad
enough and rich enough, and it is for this
association to work without ceasing to
attain that higher recognition to which
we are entitled as a science and one of
the arts.

The state association will take an ac-
tive part in our national flower show, and
many things of interest will be presented
for your consideration, and I would say
to you one and all, be with us.

Albert T. Hey, President.

COUNCIL OF HORTICULTURE,

As reported in the Review of January
23, a meeting of the National Council
of Horticulture was held at the Audi-
torium Annex, Chicago, January 22.

In accordance with the original stated
composition of the council, the term of
service of the delegates at large was
arranged so that one-third, or three of
the number, should expire at the end of
each calendar year. The delegates were
accordingly divided into groups as fol-
lows:

Terms expiring December 31, 1907:
J. H. Hale, H. C. Irish, Prof. E. J.
Wickson. Terms expiring December 31,.
1908: J. Horace McFarland, Prof. L.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The market was no better than fair
last week and it did not start stronger
February 3. The cold weather, which
has marked the week since last report,
seems largely responsible for the fall-
ing off in demand. City trade is espec-
ially light and most of the local buyers
say there has been a marked falling
"ff in the business done since the mid-
'lle of January. Funeral work is less
•■ictive than it was and society is doing
I'ttle. It is the out-of-town demand

which is the salvation of the Chicago
market. Shipping trade is quite good,
but the call is largely for the best grade
of stock, so that there sometimes is a
surplus of low grades after the fancy
stuff has all been cleaned up.

The rose market is strong as a result
of good demand and much reduced re-
ceipts. The glut of Beauties is a thing
of the past and prices have advanced
about twenty-five per cent within the
last seven days, with the prospect of a
still further appreciation in values if
the weather stays wintry. The quoted
rates for other roses remain the same,
but there has been a stiffening all along
the line, for the supply is, generally
speaking, less than the demand. There
are some splendid Bride. Maid and Rich-
mond in the market and the varieties
grown in less quantity also are good.

The carnation market shows little

change. The supply continues ample for
all requirements and quality is excel-
lent. Prices have been slightly influ-
enced by the call turned to carnations
by the short supply of roses.

Bulbous stoek and violets continue in
the dumps. There is so much of prac-
tically all kinds of bulbous stock that
a clean-up is hard to make and no one
seems to want violets in quantity. There
is. however, anticipation of a greatly in-
creased call for violets next week. It
IS remembered that last year Valentine's
day brought a big spurt of business and
that violets, sweet peas and small flow-
ers for hampers, etc., were the most
popular items. It is hoped history will
repeat itself in this instance.

Sweet peas are selling well, if with long
stems. The supply of valley is some-
what reduced and quality is better. Cal-
las are abundant.

There continues to be a large business
with green goods.

Credits Tightened.

A number of causes have operated to-
ward the tightening of credits in this
market, which will be to the advantage
of every legitimate interest. For years
credits have been notoriously lax with
the Chicago wholesalers, and many losses
have been sustained which would have
been avoided by the exercise of a little
prudence. There is no reason why credit
should be more freely given in the flow-
er business than in other lines, and
many buyers have no other basis for
credit than the fact that they have thus
far paid their bills with more or less
promptness. A tightening of credits im-
plies, besides the refusjil of credit, more
attention to collections and the require-
ment of more prompt payment from
those with whom accounts are carried.

Kidwell's New Establishment

J. F. Kidwell owns 222 acres of land
in Du Page county, near Belmont station
on the C, B. & Q. railroad, and just west
of Bassett & Washburn's place. The
land has a frontage of five-eighths of a
mile on the railroad. On one corner of
this tract Mr. Kidwell is building his
range of houses; the rest of the ground
is at present used as a dairy farm.

The work on live of the houses is al-
ready well advanced. They are glazed
and the heating plant is now being in-
stalled. They run east and west and are
each 27x200 feet^ and sixteen feet to
the ridge, with vJde walls eight feet
high. They are bnilt of red cedar, of
the A. Dietsch Co. U gutter construc-

tion, with foundations and lower walls
of concrete blocks. At the north side o^
the houses is a shed 27x100, which is
built of concrete blocks and will contain
the boiler-room, work-room, etc. As soon
as the weather will permit, four more
houses will be added, of the same size
and construction as the others.

The Morehead double trap system of
heating will be used. The whole 60,000
square feet of glass will be cared for by
a 66x16 tubular boiler, of Pratt make.

The houses will be used principally for
roses and carnations, for cut flowers.
One house will be used for smilax and
Asparagus plumosus. The first five
houses will be ready for planting about
May 1, and the other four in time for
carnations — about July 1.

The new plant will be entirely inde-
pendent of the present business of J. F.
Kidwell & Bro., and will be managed by
J. F. Kidwell 's son, Frank N. Kidwell,
in company with the young man's cousin,
Eudolph Ellsworth. The new firm, both
members of which are about 20 years
of age, will be known as Kidwell & Ells-
worth.

Various Notes.

Bassett & Washburn say that the bliz-
zard Saturday, February 1. which car-
ried over into the following day, was the
worst experienced at Hinsdale in the last
three or four years. The temperature
was down to 8 degrees below zero, with a
high wind. C. L. Washburn went to
Madi.son February 4, to visit his son,
who is in college there.

The A. L. Eandall -Co. has added a
Burroughs adding machine to its office
equipment. They say the supply business

in January was double what it was a
year ago.

C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's,
is visiting Eockford and Aurora this
week.

St. Mary's cemetery started growing
cut flowers last fall for the wholesale
market, and is sending Miss Gunter-
burg, in the Flower Growers' market,
some especially fine Lawson carnations.

Fritz Bahr has returned from a trip
to Cuba and the Isle of Pines, well
pleased with his journey. He says the
horticultural possibilities, especially in
the line of palm growing, are great in
those islands.

Joseph Foerster says he is well satis-
fied with his first week's business in the
Flower Growers' market.

Orange blossoms are one of the spec-
ialties in the cut flower department of
the E. F. Winterson Co. this week. In
the retail store upstairs the spring seed
display is being prepared.

The Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. has
delivered to Peter Eeinberg 360 boxes
of 16x18 glass, at Webers Station, which
is the sidetrack at Mr. Eeinberg 's new
country range. The glass will go into
carnation houses early in the spring.

Kennicott Bros. Co. reports that Feb-
ruary 3 a carload of wild smilax, con-
sisting of eighty-eight cases, was re-
ceived and that by night all but eight
cases had been sold.

The George Wittbold Co. had a large
decoration at the Chicago Athletic Club
this week.

The J. A. Budlong estate is preparing
to build a good sized range of new
houses at some new location early in
the spring of 1909. The range will

George Beinberg is cutting a large crop
of short Beauties, something that has
been scarce in this market for several
months.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. reports a
good crop of Killarney on at the New
Castle plant, but a light crop of Maids
and Brides.

C. W. McKellar says that his advices
are that the heavy crop of cattleyas
has passed off, along with the big crop
fif Beauties, and he looks for some
■skirmishing to get sufficient orchids as
■oon as the social season opens again.

The H. M. Hooker Co. is now installed

is excellent.

Wietor Bros, have provided for their
season's requirements by potting up many
thousands of the early carnation cuttings.
They agree with Prof. Galloway that in-
door culture in summer is the ideal way
to grow carnations.

George Asmus had his grip packed to
start for the carnation convention, when
he was taken sick and spent the days
in bed instead of at Washington. He
says business is good at the Schiller es-

tablishment, running ahead of last year
in January,

Vaughan & Sperry say that the qual-
ity of the Rhinebeck violets has shown
fnuch improvement in the last week or
so and that the Bhinebeck growers re-
port a large pick in prospect for Valen-
tine's day.

J. D. Thompson was in from Joliet
February 4. He says retail business is
good there, his January sales having
exceeded those of December.

The Floradora valentine, which was
designed by Miss Anna Grace Sawyer,
manager of the Pansy Garden Flower
Shop, and was regarded as a successful
novelty last year, has been placed on sale
again this season, at the store of John
Mangel. Being ingenious in design and
artistic in execution, this valentine ought
to be popular.

Prank Garland, at Des Plaines, is

there being a good quantity of funeral
work and a few weddings. The whole-
sale call for valley has been rather light,
but is improving.

Tuesday evening, February 4, the Chi-
cago Eailway Equipment Co. celebrated
its fifteenth anniversary with a banquet
at the rooms of the Union League Club.
For this banquet J. F. Kidwell & Bro.
furnished an elaborate table decoration,
twelve feet in width, made entirely of
boxwood and red and white carnations,
and in general design resembling a wheel
without a rim. The six large 'spokes, or
radii, represented the six cities in which
the company transacts business.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

The cut flower business, as reported
in both wholesale and retail circles, was
good last week. The wholesalers say
they had plenty of stock in all lines
except white roses. These were much
in demand and scarce. The retailers all
had plenty of funeral work all through
the week, but in other lines there is not
anything of note going on. McKinley
day used up a great many pink carna-
tions, especially among the downtown
■tores.

At the wholesale houses February 3
there were plenty of American Beauties,
but for all other roses there is a large
demand and only few to be had. Carna-
tions of the colored varieties are plenti-
ful, but white is selling out clean, there
being a large demand. Violets are not
overplentiful and have gone up a few
cents in price. Bulbous stock in all

lines is enough to go around; stock of
good quality. Tulips are selling fine.
All greens, too, have had a good call
all last week.

Various Notei.

Adolph Fehr, A. S. Halstead and
Henry Emmons, of Belleville, were call-
ers last week, buying suppUes, and all
report trade good. They will attend
our club's carnation meeting February
13.

One of the features of the charity
play at the Odeon last week was a large
basket at the door, in which those who
attended the entertainment dropped cut
flowers on entering. The flowers were
sent to the different hospitals the next
day.

C. A. Kuehn received large consign-
ments of carnations Wednesday, January
29, McKinley day. These were of extra
fine quality and brought good prices and
filled a large lot of advance orders.

The Riessen Floral Co., Foster, Burk
and Siegel, downtown florists, report a
big run on pink carnations last week,
Wednesday, McKinley day. Other work,
too, has been good of late. Young &
Sons Co. and Ostertag Bros, were much
pleased with business done last week.

Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, is
cutting some extra fine quality of roses.
These include Richmond, Ivory and Kil-
larney, He will have his usual fine
Easter lilies this year.

W. C. Smith & Co. are still receiving
the greatest number of violets that come
to this market and an extra good sup-
ply of carnations and bulbous stock.

Secretary Bentzen, of the Florists'
Club, reports that he received a large
number of replies from carnation grow-

ers that they will send their new va-
rieties to the club's carnation meeting
Thursday afternoon, February 13. As
none of our local carnation growers at-
tended the carnation meeting at Wash-
ington, they will come out in full force
to see the new varieties on exhibition.
As this is to be an open meeting, non-
members are invited to attend. Presi-
dent Young and the trustees are mak-
ing special efforts to make this the ban-
ner meeting of the club. All the special
features that will come up at this meet-
ing will be of great importance to all
the members.

The death of Charles Flunker is re-
ported in the obituary column this week.

NEW YORK.

TheMaricet

Zero weather in New York! The
change was a sudden one. From spring
temperature to a blizzard in an hour,
then from zero, in forty-eight hours,
to a furious rain storm, and now close
to the low record. The week begins
with the prospects of continued cold
and clear weather, the first real touch
of winter of the entire season to date.

Roses are not plentiful. The demand
is quite equal to the supply and prices
are firm, with a rising tendency. Espec-
ially was this evident early this week in
the No. 1 and No. 2 Maids and Brides,
for which the prices realized were quite
satisfactory. Every variety of rose reach-
ing the market found ready purchasers.
The best Beauties were snapped up
promptly at 60 cents to 75 cents. The

higher quotation seems to be top for the
present. The carnation flood continues.
Prices are far below the average of a
year ago; 3 cents on Monday would
purchase the selected stock of Enchant-
ress. Few of the prize novelties even
could realize more than $4 a hundred,
and, as you saw by the record of the
Washington convention, our prediction
as to where the majority of the prizes
would land proved correct. Every grow-
er in this section has his favorite seed-
ling. There is evidently no limit to the
general supply. A year ago prices were
fifty per cent better than now. Quality
has never been surpassed. The divine
flower is much in evidence.

Valley is abundant; some of the best
of it holds at $3 per hundred, but the
most of it sells at $2, and this is selected
stock. A great deal of inferior quality
reaches the market daily, for which, at
times, a demand must be created and
prices are unmentionable.

Orchids are abundant and at rates
that make it possible for all retailers

to be in the swim. No window decora-
tion is now complete without them.

Of violets, unfortunately, the less said
the better. Vast quantities of leftovers
were sold at 20 cents and under during
the week. The finest never went above
50 cents, and a great many thousands
sold as low as 40 cents, of what the
experts called first quality. Surely the
old favorite has fallen upon discourag-
ing days when one compares with even
the rates of a year ago, while the $1
to $2 standard of 1906, and before, seems
to have been nailed to the mast or furled
for all time. Nevertheless, in size and
quality the arrivals are quite up to any
previous records.

Plenty of lilac, narcissi, tulips, freesia
and all other harbingers of spring are
arriving daily and prices for each are
below the average, while complete dis-
posal seems impossible.

To add to the general atmosphere of
discontent that prevails in the whole-
sale district, several of the banks which
the wholesalers patronize have closed

their doors temporarily and so added to
the annoyances of an already sufficient-
ly distracting season. Fortunately the
majority of the wholesalers are philoso-
phers and optimistic. The consensus of
opinion is that the worst is over and that
from now on there will be gradual im-
provement until Easter, by which time
all conflicting influences will have been
harmonized and all doubts and fears as
to business and presidential disturbances
eliminated and confidence restored.

The retail florists are not complain-
ing. Some of them say that business
was never better. All look forward
hopefully to a splendid Easter. Only
a little over two months and the great
day of all the year to floriculture will
arrive. It is none too early to begin
foundations for a greater Easter than
we have ever experienced.

convention will be heard and some of the
family of prize winning blooms exhib-
ited. Full particulars concerning the an-
nual dinner will be unfolded by Chair-
man Sheridan and an attendance of less
than 100 at the banquet will be a great
disappointment to the new officers and
no credit to the organization. It is time
there should be a demonstration of en-
thusiasm and harmony, as in the old
days. The decorations and service will
be an honor to the society and the enter-
tainment features are to be in keeping
with the club's reputation, as usual.

The Greek- American Florists' and
Growers' Association held its first an-
nual ball and reception last Friday even-
ing, January 31. A large sum was real-
ized for the Greek school of New York.
The attendance was gratifying to Presi-
dent George D. Nicholas and his com-
mittee, many of the Greek wholesale and
retail florists being on his staff. These
men of Athens know how to make a suc-
cess of everything they undertake, from
outings to receptions. Over 3,000 tickets
were sold and in the crowd were many
of the leading wholesale and retail flo-
rists of the city.

Hitchings & Co. are at last safely
housed in their new quarters on Spring
street, Elizabeth, N. J., where their gen-
eral offices and immense new factory are
located. Never before has this firm en-
joyed so good facilities for the extensive
and growing business.

The Fleischman Diocletian Baths at
Sixth avenue and Forty-second street
open to the public this week. J. Fleisch-
man is the president of the company and
Herman Warendorff one of the officials.
An immense sun bath on the roof occu-
pies 50,000 square feet of space and is

beautified by palms, blooming plants and
statuary. It is the most complete and
enterprising accomplishment of its kind
on earth.

I. S. Hendrickson, with John Lewis
ChUds, who was operated upon for ap-
pendicitis, has passed through the ordeal
successfully and is now rapidly recov-
ering. Walter Sheridan, who escaped
disaster by a similar route, has fully re-
gained his health. Several of the whole-
salers in New York and elsewhere are
quite corpulent enough to test this med-
ical voyage of exploration. Those who
have made the trip do not, however, rec-
ommend it.

A. J. Guttman has been suffering from
a bone felon on his thumb. It gave him
little sleep for several nights.

Joseph Fenrich has recovered from
the effects of his collision with the trol-
ley, narrowly escaping the loss of an eye
in the encounter.

J. K. Allen has had a battle with neu-
ralgia that has made life hardly worth
living.

A good many retail florists are alive to
the fact that St. Valentine's day comes
to town next Friday, February 14. Those
who do some catchy advertising will reap
the benefit. More and more the day is
growing popular as a gift-giving occa-
sion, especially with the young folks.
Boxes of flowers are the popular method
of salutation. The $1, $2 and $3 boxes
of cut flowers sell the best. "We have
some Broadway florists who make a spe-
cialty of these boxes frequently during
the year and they sell rapidly at all
times.

The store at 41 West Twenty-eighth
street, long used by Thos. Young, Jr., as
a wholesale and retail center, has been

leased to Charles Millang, the wholesale
florist of West Twenty-ninth street, who
has purchased the elaborate furnishings
and will take possession immediately.
The location is considered one of the
most desirable in the city.

We are all proud of the success of our
carnation experts, Messrs. Ward, Pier-
son, Cockcroft, Weber and Eeimels, who
won gold and bronze medals and first
and second prizes too numerous to men-
tion at the Washington carnation con-
vention. AU who were at Washington
are loud in their praises of the exhibi-
tion and delighted with their reception
and the uniform courtesy and care given
them by their brother florists.

The dinner of the Nassau County Hor-
ticultural Society at Glen Cove January
29 was a great success. The attendance
was an even fifty and from 5 p. m. un-
til 10 p. m. the fun was fast and furious.
The retiring president, Mr. McKenzie,
was presented with a handsome memento
of the society's respect, to which he
feelingly responded. Nearly every one
present did his share to add to the
evening's enjoyment. The Eickards
brothers were full of music and sang all
their new songs and many of their old-
time melodies. President Adolph Jaen-
necke gave the opening address. Mr.
Lenker's toast was "Harmony." Vice-
president W. H. Marshall, of the New
York Florists' Club; spoke eloquently
for that society. Mr. Scott, of Tarry-
town, and Joseph Manda, of Orange,
responded to toasts and Mr. Sperling,
of the Stumpp & Walter Co., made a hit
with "The Gardener as I Have Found
Him. ' ' Other speakers included Mr. Mac-
Farlane, of Tarrytown; Mr. Burnett, the
New York seedsman, and others. James

The Market.

The cold wave which struck us Janu-
ary 29 and which, with occasional mild
spells sandwiched in for variety, seems
inclined to stay, has completely demor-
alized the trade in cut flowers. With
zero temperatures and a keen wind blow-
ing customers are lacking at the stores
and the wholesale demand has suffered
severely, the market being in a poorer
condition than for many weeks. Eoses,
which hitherto have sold well, have suf-
fered with other flowers, especially in
the case of Bride and Maid. Killamey
and Bichmond have sold rather better
than other varieties. Carnations are in
heavy oversupply and many have had to
be cleared at low prices. First-class
flowers have made fairly satisfactory
prices, but the demand has been un-
equal to the supply. Single violets have
shortened up considerably, owing to the
cold weather. These and doubles are
little changed in price.

Bulbous stock is almost a glut once
more. Double Von Sion, Golden Spur,
princeps and ornatus are the leading
narcissi, while several tulips in addi-
tion to La Reine are arriving.

Sweet peas, callas, lilies, mignonette,
valley and other flowers are more than

ample for the lessened calls. Trade in
pot plants has suffered severely from
the severe weather.

Park Street Market Exhibition.

The schedule of prizes for the Park
Street market exhibition Saturday, Feb-
ruary 29, has been issued. The show
will be open from 11 to 4 o'clock, and
will undoubtedly attract a fine lot of
exhibits. Prizes offered are as follows:

Roses, twenty-five blooms each of
American Beauty, pink, red, white and
any other colors, prizes $10 and $5 in
each class. A silver cup valued at $25
is offered for the best new rose, and
certificates of merit will be awarded any
specimens.

For fifty blooms of carnations of each
color, crimson, dark pink, light pink,
scarlet, white and any other color, $5
and $3 is offered. For twenty-five
blooms of the same colors $3 and $2 will
be awarded. For 100 blooms in one
vase, not less than six varieties, a cup
valued at $15 and $7.50 is offered, and
for 100 blooms any new or standard va-
riety there will be a $25 cup for first
and $7.50 second.

For fifty tulips prizes are $5 and $3,
and the same prizes are offered for fifty
narcissi. For collection of bulbous
stock, twenty-five of a variety, $12 and
$8 will be given. Prizes are also listed

Cheap ice is something even florists can

to horticulture of intelligent attention
being given continuously to the spreading
of a knowledge of plant names. The
speaker gave it as his opinion that it
would be contrary to the best interests
of horticulture to do anything that would
bring the common names of plants into
disuse, and urged his hearers to aid with
their influence in getting the common
names as well as the botanical names of
plants taught in the public schools.

Coming to the question of plant regis-
tration, Mr. MacLellan pointed out what
seemed to him the injustice of the col-
lection of a fee for the privilege of regis-
tering a new variety and said that while
he did not doubt the ability of the S, A.
F. to conduct this matter, still he thought
it of sufficient importance to be under
the direct control of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington.

A general discussion took place on the
more prominent points brought out.
Among those who took part in it were
A, O. D. Taylor, president of the Natural
History Society; Bruce Butterton, James
McLeish and John Baumgartner.

Mr. Baumgartner spoke on the impor-

tance of a systematic warfare on the
San Jose scale. Even this not being con-
sidered sufficient for the evening, after
refreshments were served, the president
started what turned out to be a very ani-
mated discussion on dahlias, more espe-
cially the question of whether Mrs.
Charles Turner, a beautiful yellow dah-
lia, is really a true cactus or a decorative.
Many members contended that it is a
decorative, but James Robertson, who is
generally conceded to be the best grower
of dahlias in these parts, seemed to ef-
fectually down that contention by the
statement that this dahlia, when well
grown in good soil, develops into a true
cactus, but when grown in poor soil and
treated indifferently it deteriorates into
a decorative. This statement of Mr.
Robertson was fortified by a recollection
by many of the members of the beautiful
flowers of Mrs.' Charles Turner he had
exhibited.

Current Comment.

Mrs. Charles Hurn, nee Fadden, who
underwent an operation in the Newport

Various Notes.

P. McKenna & Son's Store No. 2 has
been re-arranged inside. They say they
sold 3,000 carnations last week.

Miss Murray reports that business is
just moving along, no worse and no
better than other years. Her store looks
exceedingly pretty.

Miss Cairn's window has been a mass
of fine carnations and ferns, well ar-
ranged. She says she always has plenty
to do.

Miss Carmichael reports trade to be
rather slow. She has decided to keep
her store for another year.

E. Mepstead, of Ottawa, was in town
last week.

George Robinson, J. McKenna and E.
Mepstead paid a visit to J. Bennett, at
Lachine, January 25.

C. A. Smith, gardener to T. A. Dawes,
Lachine, has been elected to the council.
If he keeps his promises Lachine will
have a small park this summer, with
well kept flower beds and lawns.

WM. P. CRAIG, 1305 Filbert St, Philadelphia

The Rising; Eastern Market.

The market conditions of last week
have been bad at times and most of the
stock was hard to move. Roses seem to
be the only flowers for which there was
any great demand. All grades of roses
sold up clean. Beauties have not sold
so well as might have been expected. The
supply is limited and good medium ones
are scarce, while the long Beauties are a
little plentiful and hard to move. Gar-
denias are scarce and are sold as soon
as they arrive, most of them being or-
dered ahead, Cattleyas are none too
plentiful and sell well, while the demand
for cypripediums is poor and they can be
had in any quantity. Carnations are
coming in heavily and the quality is fine,
but the demand is light, except for the
fancy varieties, which sell out clean from
day to day. The new carnation, Torea-
dor, which is an improvement on Pros-
perity, has been used extensively by
Pennock Bros, in their window decora-
tions and was much admired.

Sweet peas are fine and can be had in
almost any color. The fancy grades clean
up nicely, while the shorts are plentiful
and hard to move at any price. Daffo-
dils and tulips can be had in any quan-
tity and are good, but do not sell. Paper
Whites have shortened up and are in
fairly good demand. A large number of
them are sold for funeral work, of which
there is quite a lot. Valley and Romans
are a glut on the market and can be
bought cheap in large quantity, Violets,
single and double, are plentiful. The
fancy grades sell fairly well, while the
smaller ones are hard to move. Good
lilac and mignonette are in fair demand,
but there is entirely too much of the
poorer grade, Harrisii and callas are in
good shape; the demand is also fair and
they sell up close. Yellow daisies are
good stock and are a little scarce. White
daisies are just the reverse. Plumosus
and Sprengeri are none too plentiful and
the same is true of smilax. The other
green stock, of which there is quite a
lot, is selling poorly.

Qub Meetinsf.

The meeting of the Florists' Club,
which was held Tuesday evening, Feb-
ruary 4, was largely attended. Edward
A. Harvey read a paper on carnation
culture under glass all summer, which
was well thought of, it being one of the
best papers ever read before the club.

A. Harvey & Sons had a fine exhibit
of carnations. The varieties were Bea-
con, Robert Craig, Victory, White Per-
fection, Winsor, Lawson, Aristocrat,
Lady Bountiful, and a white seedling of
enormous size and fine stem which looks
like a good bloomer.

Joseph Heacock Co. has a fine thing in
the new pink seedling which has a color |

something like Rose-pink Enchantress.
The flower is enormous in size.

Samuel Batchelor, gardener to C. A.
Newbold, had Enchantress, white and
pink, and a fine pair of white cyclamen,
which were much admired.

The Strafford Flower Farm exhibited
a fine lot of Enchantress, Beacon, Boun-
tiful and Winsor.

F. H. Kramer, of Washington, had a
fine vase of the new rose. Queen Beatrice.
The flowers were large and a fine shade
of pink, on good stems.

H. A. Dreer had a plant of Clematis
indivisa, which was covered with a fine
lot of blooms and was much admired.

Hatboro.

Harry Weiss & Sons have two houses,
35x300, and thirty-five feet high. They
contain 35,000 carnation plants of En-
chantress, Winsor, Lieut. Peary, Mrs.
Lawson, White Lawson, Queen, Craig,
Aristocrat and Crimson Glow. There
are four benches in each house and
the plants are supported by vnres run-
ning the full length of the house, with
strings across, which make an excel-
lent support. Enchantress is fine and
will cut quite heavily for the next three
or four weeks; the other varieties are
also praiseworthy, and the houses massed
with buds are a sight well worth seeing.
Winsor and Aristocrat are well thought
of and will be grown extensively next
season. The young stock is clean and
healthy. The entrance to the houses is
through the boiler-shed, which is on the
south side and contains two boilers, about
100 horse-power. The greenhouses cover
five acres of ground. The cut of this
place is handled by the Leo Niessen Co.

Eugene Weiss has thirteen houses
of different widths, but all are

MRS. JARDINE

THE NEW FORCING ROSE

Wc offer this rose for March delivery and recommend it most highly for com-
mercial use. The color is a bright, pleasing pink, shading in the outer petals
to salmon-pink. It produces flowers on long, stiff stems from early fall until late
summer and is considerably more prolific than Bride or Bridesmaid. ^ ,jt jt

175 feet long, except the cutting house,
which is only seventy-five feet. Among
the 50,000 plants are Enchantress,
Lieut. Peary, Queen, Mrs. . Lawson,
White Lawson, Bobt. Craig, Kose-pink
Enchantress and Mme. Joost. The car-
nation houses are short-span, open be-
tween, are in excellent condition, and
will cut well later on. Brides and Maids,
mostly two-year-old grafted, are quite
fair; while the cut is not so heavy, pros-
pects are good for a heavy one later.
The boiler-shed and vault are combined,
making it very handy. This place covers
three acres of ground. The two places
are very close, only about eight minutes'
walk to the station. The popular Sam-
uel Lilly distributes this stock.

Various Notes.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. report the ar-
rival of the steamers Menominee and
Andalusia with shipments of new shapes

in fancy Easter baskets, and Japanese
air plants.

J. L. Pennock, who has been confined
to his home for the last few days, is
said to have typhoid fever.

The heavy wind of Saturday and Sun-
day did considerable damage to a great
many greenhouses in and near this city.

Robt. Crawford says Joost carnation
is the most profitable to grow.

The wholesale florists are well satis-
fied with their association, which is work-
ing well.

R. A. Stewart says Killarney is fhe
best rose to sell and gives good satisfac-
tion.

S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. is receiving
a fine lot of sweet peas and single daffo-
dils. ^

Alfred Burton, of Wyndmoor, is cut-
ting a fine lot of long Beauties.

M. Rice & Co. are receiving Easter

novelties on each incoming steamer. The
Barcelona, eight days overdue, brought a
large shipment.

The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving daily
a choice lot of fancy carnations from H.
Weiss & Sons, of Hatboro.

William Kleinheinz, of Lynwood Hall,
captured the Michell and Bisset prizes
at Washington last week, thus adding
further to his reputation as a carnation
grower. Joseph Heacock, of Wyncote,
was successful in securing recognition
for his new pink seedling carnation. No.
100, which is described as being a shade
of pink between Enchantress and Mrs.
Lawson.

E. F. Lieken, of Lansdowne, was
among the Philadelphians who attended
the convention at Washington last week.

William P. Craig is much pleased with
the interest taken by rose growers
throughout the country in the new rose,
Mrs. Jardine. Phil.

THE DEATH ROLL.

Wm. M. Robertson.

William M. Robertson, one of the old-
time florists of Boston and a member
of the first board of directors of the
Park Street flower market in that city,
in 1892, died January 29, aged 65 years.
The deceased, who was a Scotchman, was
at one time associated with Mr. Horri-
gan, of Foxboro. He was proficient in
athletics in earlier years and had won
showy, valuable prizes at putting the
shot, being, in fact, champion for a long
time. He was of a genial disposition
and well liked by all who knew him.
Although not much seen round the mar-
kets of late years, his old-time asso-
ciates heard of his passing with much
regret. W. N. C.

Charles Flunker.

Charles Flunker, aged 73 years, one
of the old-time florists of St. Louis,
living at 3727 Tennessee avenue, died
last week after a long illness. Before
Mr. Flunker died he named his four
pallbearers. They were Emil Schray,
Conrad Bergsterman, Frank J. Fillmore
and John Walther. The funeral took
place Thursday afternoon, January 30,

NO FROZEN WATER PIPES.

A system which was recently adopted
at the Bell Mawr Greenhouses, at Mount
Ephraira, N. J., to protect the water
pipes from frost, was found to be one
of the best plans for this purpose.

A home-made trap valve is first placed
in the bottom of the tank, over the flush
pipe. The valve is made as follows: A
thick piece of rubber, about 4x6 inches,
is fastened to a block about 4x4 inches
and about two inches thick. This block
serves two purposes — to keep the rubber
flat and also to act as a weight. The
2 -inch margin of the rubber, which is not
covered by the block, acts as the hinge,
and is fastened to the bottom of the
tank. This valve is operated by a rope
which extends from the block to the top
of the tank, over a pulley, and then down
to the bottom of the trestle. When the
rope is pulled it opens the valve, and
when the rope is left loose the valve
closes, as the water acts as the weight and
the more water in the tank the tighter it
closes. Remember, a small chain is to be
fastened to the block and to the floor of
the tank, so that the valve can open only
about two inches.

In the boiler-pit a spigot is placed on
the water pipes, at the lowest point on
the grounds. At night, after the valve
is closed in the tank, this spigot is opened
and all water is drained out, which makes
it impossible for any water to freeze in
the pipes. E. W. Hankele.

PLANTS IN A UVING-RCXDM.

Will too much steam cause the leaves
of geraniums and hydrangeas to drop
when kept in a living-room during win-
ter? C. A.P.

FROM ALL SECTIONS.

A dry, warm atmosphere, such as is
found in the average living-room in win-
ter, will cause the foliage on geraniums
to turn brown and fall off. They prefer
a cool room, not above 55 degrees at
night. Your hydrangeas should have
been rested in the cellar during the win-
ter and any old foliage now remaining
on them may be expected to fall off.
They are better kept cool and rather dry
from November to March, and at this
time should lose their foliage naturally.

is just opening in the northwest.

The Holland bulb salesmen are now all
present or accounted for and have spread
over all that part of the country east of

They say, almost to a man, that they are

but the buyers are equally unanimous in
saying the orders they have placed are
not as large as in recent years.

the right times.

The large seed houses in eastern cities
say January business was about equal to

Ohio is one of the largest producers of clover
and the Toledo Board of Trade regulates the
clover seed prices of the world, while Cleveland,
Cincinnati aud other Ohio cities handle it in
large quantities.

With this law in force no clover seed can be
handled uuless In the immediate vicinity where
it is raised. Nobody but the grower knows
whether it is medium or mammoth and he alone
can guarantee it. Even the local dealer would
not buy it under such conditions except on per-
sonal investigation of the growing crop or from
a personal knowledge that the grower and his
guarantee were responsible. The larger dealers
would not dare to purchase or sell clover seed
under such conditions, as such guarantees could
not be traced back to their origin.

Before reaching the last purchaser, seed often
passes through a dozen hands. All dealers must
reclean and grade clover seed in order to sell
It. Each little lot can not be sold by Itself.
They must mix the difTerent lots together to
make a uniform mixture, which is salable.

How could the identity of any particular lot
be traced and the responsibility be placed a year
later when the crop is matured? says one
dealer. There is no reason for deception on
the part of the large dealers. Both clovers are
equally valuable and nothing is to be gained by
any dealer in mixing the two varieties. In
fact, unusual precautions are taken to prevent
the varieties becoming mixed, but to guarantee
his sales would be absolutely impossible and so
extremely hazardous that no responsible dealer
would do it, for various reasons. First, he does
not grow it himself and must depend on the
carefulness of every man who handles it from
the grower to the man that sells it to him.
Again, climatic and soil conditions, combined
with the early or late sowing of clover, will
cause such a variation in the crop that it would
be difficult or impossible to differentiate them.
How can we or you become responsible or guar-
antee a thing whose Identity is so easily lost
after it leaves our hands? No responsible seed
dealer will take the risk.

As stated above, we exercise great care and
our best Judgment to have not only clover seed
but all other kinds of seed true to name and
that is all anybody can do. In our opinion, if
the law is passed, it will prohibit the purchase
and sale of clover seed in Ohio and not only
the dealers, but the farmers will sufTer untold
injury. Everybody interested should write his
representative to consider the situation well be-
fore voting for such a law.

GLADIOLUS BULBS.

Can you tell me what is the matter
with the gladiolus bulbs I enclose, and
the remedy? C. H. K.

• • • . . —

The bulbs sent are badly diseased. It
is not an uncommon occurrence to find a
small percentage of these at lifting time.
They should never be kept and any bulbs
showing the disease ought to be dis-
carded. Keep your bulbs in a cool, dry
cellar just clear of freezing. A warm
storage place will greatly weaken their
vitality. Plant in well manured ground
«Tnd do not allow the manure to come in
direct contact with the bulbs, as this
^'ill encourage the disease. In stiff soil.

Vegetable Forciflg.

A SUPPLY of garden herbs is an im-
portant addition to gardens in summer.
In many gardens there are herbs of all
kinds that are likely to be called for, and
there should be some grown in every gar-
den. Many useful herbs can be grown to
be fit for use from seed sown the same
season.

FORC3NG CUCUMBERS.

February is the month which most veg-
etable growers look to as the best month
to sow cucumber seed for the spring
crop. By the time the seed is up and
the little plants potted off, the weather
is much more suitable than when they
are planted earlier. The plants grown
from seed sown by the middle of this
month often come to beariiig almost as
soon as plants from seed sown a month
earlier, and are always stronger and
more likely to produce a good, healthy
and more lasting crop.

There are many reasons for this. First
of all, there is the increased amount of
sunlight; that is, there are usually more
bright days. The sun is rapidly getting
higher and has much more strength, be-
sides rising earlier and setting later each
day, and sunlight, we all know, is what
the cucumber needs. A young cucumber
plant will grow more in one day in
March or April than in three days in
December or January at the same tem-
perature. And to be a healthy, profit-
able crop, cucumbers must make a rapid
growth, without being checked or stunt-
ed. A poor, unhealthy lot of plants
would far better be torn out and the
house replanted to young plants, even
when considerable time is lost, for a
house which makes a poor start cannot
be made to pay well.

Cucumbers can be grown through the
entire winter, but it requires a most
thorough and careful grower, with the
best of greenhouses. They are also often
made to pay when planted as late as
April 1. Jhey come to bearing long be-
fore the outdoor-grown plants and- sell
for much better prices than the outdoor
product, even after the latter become
quite plentiful.

One of the principal reasons for plant-
ing in February is that the last crop of
lettuce is not marketed until about
March 1, and as soon as the "beds can

cucumber plants are ready to bench.

There are many diflFerent methods of
starting the young plants. Some plant
the seed in the pots, filled about two-
thirds full of soil, and when the plants
are well up they are thinned out to one
or two plants and the pots are filled with
soil. For this purpose 3-inch or 4-inch
pots are used, the size depending on
whether one or two plants are to be left
in the pot. Many growers plant the seed
in boxes and transplant the plants from
the seed boxes right into the green-
house beds, where they are to grow and
bear.

I prefer to sow the seed in flats of

seed should not be sown too thick; to
drop the seeds about an inch apart and
use more boxes is better than to crowd
them too much, as they spoil very quick-
ly after coming up if too thick. The
plants are potted aa soon as two days
old, or when the two seed leaves are de-
veloped. If left too long, the roots
get tangled and are broken in handling.
They are then put in the lightest and
warmest place in the houses, and where
they are protected from drafts. The best
temperature is 68 degrees at night and
75 to 85 degrees by day, according to the
amount of sunshine.

Strong bottom heat is as necessary
as it is for the propagating house. When
the plants have made about three leaves
they are ready to be planted out in the
beds, two plants in a hill and the hills
about three feet and a half apart.

From the time the seed is planted,
cucumbers require the most careful at-
tention as to temperature, ventilation
and watering. This should not be left
to inexperienced help. They should at
no time be soaked with water until the
vines are quite large. Great care should
also be taken that they do not suffer for
want of water at any time, or they be-
come stunted. A little ventilation should
be given each bright day, to harden the
plants, but not too much, so as to blow
the leaves or cool the house. Hourly
attention is not too often for best re-
sults. The plants should not be watered
too late to allow the foliage to dry off
before night, and ventilation should be
given early in the day and closed down
as the sun commences to decline.

There is probably no hothouse vege-
table which requires such constant atten-
tion to grow successfully as the cucum-
ber, nor a crop which pays any better
when well grown. H. G.

POOR GROWTH OF LETTUCE.

I am sending you a sample of soil
and a diseased lettuce plant. Will you
kindly tell me what is the matter! I
have new soil in my benches and in spots
the lettuce will not grow at all — just
gets bunchy and curls up, while in other
places in the same bench it grows to fine
plants. I use the same soil in another
house for carnations, and it grows fine
blooms. M. B. S.

Your soil seems , to be of a stiff, re-
tentive nature, one that would require
great care in the matter of watering,
but if this were carefully attended to I
see no reason why good letture could
not be grown in it. Keep the surface

making sure that one place is not get-
ting more or less than another. Such a
soil as yours Trill retain the moisture
for a considerable time, so I would ad-
vise you not to water when you think
the soil is dry, but wait until you see
your plants beginning to suffer for want
of it; then give a good watering as di-
rected above. You will be surprised to
find how little water your plants vrill
really need in such a soil as this, espe-
cially during the dull, short days.

LARVAE IN CUCUMBER SOIL.

In growing hothouse cucumbers we
gather stable manure during the winter
and pile it up. In the follovring April
it is worked over and then left until
used the following fall. In September
we fill our house with one-third of this
manure and two-thirds soil — rotted sod —
and this compost is thoroughly worked
over in the benches. The plants are
then set out. About six to eight weeks
afterward the pieces of manure all over
the house are full of white maggots
about an eighth of an inch long. These
hatch into a small, dark bluish fly or
gnat. While in the larvee stage they
kill many cucumber vines.

Can any cucumber grower or anyone
else give me any light as to prevention
of these maggots or how to save the
cucumber vines! W. & C.

I understand from your statement that
the sods and manure are composted sepa-
rately. In my judgment this is not as
desirable as composting the soil and
manure together by putting down a layer
of sods about twelve inches deep, on top
of this putting a layer of manure eight
to ten inches deep, then sods and manure
until the heap is two feet and a half
or three feet deep. Make the heap about
eight feet wide and any length desired.
Leave it saucer-shaped on top. After
it has been up for three months, begin
at one end and cut it down with a mat-
tock and re-pile it so sua to thoroughly
work the soil and manure together. If
Ijandled in this way, the manure becomes
'0 thoroughly mixed vnth the soil that it
Ices not offer a congenial breeding place
for insects, while heaps of pure manure
^0. It is likely that if you sprinkle

the benches with tobacco water or with

CULTURE OF CELERY.

I desire information on the following
points with regard to the culture of
celery in this Oregon climate: When
to sow, when and how to plant, when
and how to irrigate. Can it be trans-
planted from outside to the greenhouse
in the fall, our market being the best
between Thanksgiving and New Year's?
Or, could it be raised in the greenhouse?

G. G.

The best time and place to sow celery
is outdoors, just as early as the ground
can be worked in spring. In case of
very cold locations a coldframe may be
employed, but celery is healthier and
stronger when grown without artificial
heat from start to finish.

When the plants are large enough to
handle they should be pricked out about
two inches apart in a bed of well pul-
verized soil, shading being provided for
a few days after the operation, so that
they will not be wilted down by the sun
until they have had a chance to get a
fresh hold.

When the plants are from four to six
inches high is the time to plant in their
permanent quarters. We like planting
in double rows best, as the plants are
easier to handle and easier to reach when
earthing up than if set, as some do,
in beds of four rows. Where the soil is
deep enough so that there is no danger
of the roots coming in contact with
poor material, we prefer to take out a
trench about eight inches deep and one
foot wide and set the plants in this,
■working a liberal dressing of well de-
composed manure well into the soil be-
fore planting. ,

Your question as to irrigation I can- •*
not very well answer, not knowing what
facilities you may have for irrigating.
Celery is not very particular how the
water is applied, as long as it gets
plenty of it, and if you have plenty of
water convenient I would say keep it
liberally supplied when the conditions of
the soil necessitate its application.

Your celery will keep better outdoors
than anywhere you can put it. The at-
mosphere of a greenhouse is uncongenial
to its welfare at any stage of the game.
It can be covered over where it has
grown if suflScient material^ can be pro-
cured to make a frost-proof covering. It
should not take so much to keep the
frost out at the season of the year you
mention, but to save covering material
you could lift your plants just before
danger of injury by frost, and store in
a pit dug deep enough so that the tops
of your celery would be about on a level
with the surface of the ground when set
upright in the pit. The plants can be
set as close together as they will stand.
The location for the pit should be such
that no water will be apt to lodge in the
bottom, as too much moisture would pro-
mote damping and might result in con-
siderable loss from this cause.

From four to five feet is the most
convenient width for the pit to be made.
When ready for covering, good, strong
pieces of wood should be laid across the

boards can be laid lengthwise of the
pit, leaving an air space between the
tops of the plants and the boards. A
covering of litter, old corn stalks, leaves,
or whatever material is most convenient-
ly procured, should be put on gradually,
as the weather becomes colder, but open-
ings should be left at intervals to give
ventilation. On cold nights these open-
ings can be closed, but should be opened
during the day when the air is suflS-
ciently warm to allow any condensation
to escape. The covering should not be
made any heavier than is necessary to
prevent actual freezing inside of the
pit. The nearer the atmosphere in the
pit is kept to the freezing point, the bet-
ter your celery will keep. Wm. Scott.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Pebbuabt 6, 1908.

PACIFIC COAST.

Spokane, Wash. — The Lidgerwood
Greenhouses, owned by George T. Crane,
were destroyed by fire the morning of
January 20. Mr. Crane estimates his
loss at $9,000, with $2,000 insurance.

Santa Ceuz, Cal. — J. P. Parker has
now in bloom a white flowered form of
Cattleya Trianse that is very beautiful.
The three flowers now open show some
pale yellow in the lip, but there is ap-
parently no trace of the usual carmine.
The sepals are pure white and gracefully
crinkled at the edges.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market

There is no great flurry in retail
circles, though trade might be much
worse. A steady demand for funeral
work, with a fairly good sale on cut
flowers, is the record for January. Al-
though stock has been abundant, yet
there is no great surplus, hence no slash-
ing in prices. The good effect of a few
days ' bright sunshine has been manifested
in a better condition of stock, and this
improvement came none too soon, for the
continual rain and dark weather were
putting carnations to sleep, giving roses
the mildew and plants a touch of the
grippe. The sunshine has also blessed
the violet growers, who are now pick-
ing quantities of the ladies' favorite
flower.

Various Notei.

James Martin has opened a branch
store in the new Bothschild building at
Fourth and Washington streets. This is
right in the center of the business dis-
trict and should make good from the
start.

R. C. Cook, familiarly known as Violet
Dick, a curbstone vender, has shown
enterprise by opening a small store at
107 Fourth street.

H. C. Eichards is the owner of a
greenhouse on Summit avenue and is
growing some good carnations.

We recently had the pleasure of meet-
ing Mr. Suzuki, of the Yokohama Nur-
series, Japan, who is on a business trip
to this country and England. Other
visitors were: Ole Ericluion, Astoria;
William Tackman, The Dalles; Felix Ver-
hoeven. Forest Grove, tind Mr. and Mrs.
William Jackson, Stevenson, Wash.

Those who make regular weekly busi-
ness calls are Charles F. Street and Sam
Boake, of Clackamas, Ore. Besides sup-
plying the local trade with violets and
fine Bride, Maid and Bichmond roses,
Mr. Street ships to Seattle and other
points and is a grower of considerable
skill. Mr. Boake caters to our wants
in the line of dagger ferns, Oregon grape
and sphagnum moss and we use lots
of them here. H. J. M.

SWEET PEAS IN CALIFORNIA.

The old-fashioned sweet pea, although
one of the easiest grown of the hardy
annuals, has not been a money-maker in
the fullest sense of the word for sev-
eral seasons. There ha« been an excess
of this flower at the height of the sea-
son and the price has usually gone beg-
ging in consequence. There is nothing
that grows more easily or can better
be depended on to give its quota of bios-

soms than this popular flower, but at the
same time there is nothing that will
more quickly go out of business unless
the conditions are kept favorable for a
continuation of blooming. I refer es-
pecially to allowing a patch to go par-
tially to seed and then attempting to get
them into shape again to continue bloom-
ing.

The earliness at which sweet peas can
be induced to bloom in this locality
depends entirely on the climatic con-
ditions. They have practically been
ideal up to the present time and the
growers who planted their seed early
last fall may expect blooming to com-
mence in a few weeks. We have had
practically no frost so far this season,
but it is not on account of frost that
the young plants get stunted, as much
as from an excess of moisture. We have
been very fortunate in this line also, and
unless poor judgment was used in the
selection of a place to grow the plants,
the excess of moisture should not have
bothered them to any extent.

A combination of excessive moisture,
several degrees of frost and a plentiful
supply of hungry snails is all that is
necessary to finish one's ambitions along
the lines of sweet peas.

If the seed is planted now there will
be no need to bother about the other"
conditions, but there will be no early
flowering this season. This class of
flowers^ needs an abundance of moisture,
with rich, light soil, and they must be
kept growing. The first requisite is to
keep the flowers picked off, and the sec-
ond is to give them moisture constantly.
That they be trained somewhat, except
for convenience, is not essential to either

the quantity or quality of the blooms.
If the vines are not mauled about too
much, the stems will invariably grow
straight and, with some varieties, they
appear to last in bloom much longer
when allowed to sprawl on the ground.
About four sowings of sweet peas
should be made during the year and,
if the other conditions are right, it will
be possible to have blooms at least
eight months in succession. After a wet
winter, even if the plants succeed in
weathering the gale, they are generally
so weak that they do not last long after
they commence to flower. But after
such a mild winter as we are now having
has passed over, the sweet peas should
be in good shape to commence bloom-
ing early in March, and if judgment is
used for subsequent plantings, they can
be easily had until the early part of next
winter. G.

excess of moisture, which has dampened
the ardor of the flower buying pub-
lic 60 that there has been but little to
put on the credit side of the ledger this
week. The price of flowers is gradually
going downward and there is no telling
how far it will reach. The fact that
we have had no cold weather at all this
season and, in addition, the regulation
stagnation of trade, have put everything
in the flower line away down. There has
been such a slight check in the growing
conditions of flowering plants in general
that we can look for an avalanche of
cut flowers in the near future. Outside
narcissi and daffodils are good examples,
as also are violets. The latter, at no
time during the season, have been at all
scarce and the price realized by the
growers has been twenty-five per cent
less than that of last season. With nar-
cissi the market is at present overstocked
and the prices are not over half what
they were last year.

Carnations are extremely plentiful and
very cheap. With roses there is at the
present moment no excess of supply, but
from observations made in the houses
of some of our largest growers, it is
safe to predict that with two weeks '
good weather we will have a larger crop
to select from than we have had for
years in the month of February. There
is a shortage of good long-stemmed adi-
antums at present, as the wild variety is
not yet plentiful enough to be depended
on to fill requirements.

As growers of poinsettias and fine ferns

The collapsing of many large prospect-

quite a lot of stock on the market that
was supposed to be sold out completely.
Late buyers have had a chance to make
splendid bargains, as the growers seem
to show quite an inclination to let stock
go at much less than its Catalogued
value. Our season at the best will not
last over eight weeks longer, and this
accounts for the efforts being made by
the growers to keep salable stock mov-

E. M. McMiCKEN, of Woodville, Tex.,
is endeavoring to organize a stock com-
pany to establish a nursery at Beaumont,
Tex.

The Sneed Nursery and Orchard Co.,
of Tyler, Tex., has been incorporated,
with $43,000 authorized capital stock, by
C. W. Wood, J. F. Sneed and Frank
Bninton,

At the J. G. Harrison & Sons nursery
at Berlin, Md., there has been an out-
break of spinal meningitis among the
herd of mules, five having died and four-
teen being very sick at the date of this
report.

A SHIPMENT of 1,086 plum trees re-
cently received in Butte county, Cal.,
from a Connecticut nursery company,
was consigned to the flames by the com-
missioner of horticulture, T. F. Stile,
because he found that the roots were
alive with borers.

PiCEA ORiENTALis, or eastern spruce,
resembles the Norway spruce, but the
needles are of a darker and richer green
than those of the latter. It Js symmetrical
and compact in habit, forming a shapely,
pyramidal tree. It is a desirable variety
for single specimen planting.

The bankrupt estate of Howard A,
Chase, Philadelphia, late treasurer of the
R. G. Chase Nursery Co., Geneva, N. Y.,
offers for sale 130 shares of stock in
that company, the shares being now in
the hands of Chester N. Farr, Jr., trus-
tee, 415 Real Estate Trust building,
Philadelphia.

JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS HiBERNICA is, as

the last word of the name implies, the
Irish juniper. It forms a slender speci-
men of columnar shape. The foliage is
(lark green. It is extensively used in
formal planting and for contrast among
other evergreens. It is also much in de-
.mand for cemetery work.

The report has been received from
Hollister, Cal., that several hundred young
peach trees, recently purchased from a
Fresno nursery by William Kelly, were
condemned by the newly appointed hor-
ticultural inspector, Leonard Day, as they
were infected with peach blight. The
oflBcials of the state university confirmed
Mr. Day's statement.

The American Nursery Co., whose in-
corporation was reported in the Review
of January 30, has acquired all the real
estate and other property of the follow-
ing establishments: The F. & F. Nurs-
eries, Springfield, N. J.; the Bloodgood
Nurseries, Flushing, L. I.; Frederick W.
Kelsey, New York city, and the New Jer-
sey and Long Island nurseries. These
different concerns will hereafter be con-
ducted as branches of the company, un-
der the same local management as here-
tofore, and their combined facilities, it
is claimed, will be larger and more com-
plete than,tl}ose of any similar organiza-
tion in the cpyntry. . The officers of the
company are: President, F. W. Kelsey;
i-ice-presidents, William Flemer and
Theodore Foulk; treasurer, William -Fle-
mer; secretary, P. H. Goodsell.

MAPLE AND PEACH CUTTINGS.

Can hard-wood cuttings of Norway ma-
ple and peach trees be rooted? When
and how! H. B. M.

In answer to the above query, I would
say that most of the maples will grow
from cuttings of either soft or ripe wood.
They can also be layered, budded or
grafted. Hard-wood cuttings of Norway
should be made at once; earlier would
have been better. Cut to lengths of six
inches and plant in frames, l have never
thought this the best way to propagate
the common sorts of maples and much
prefer to grow them from seed, this
being the cheapest, most practical and

most successful way to propagate in
quantities. It also gives you much nicer,
better rooted plants and nearly all come
true to type. If you wished to propa-
gate some of the choice native varieties
or the Japanese sorts, cuttings could be
used, but I think the better way would
be to winter work varieties of native spe-
cies upon common native stocks, and the
Japanese sorts on imported Acer polymor-
phum stocks. We have also been success-
ful with summer budding.

Growing peach from hard-wood cut-
tings is not practical. It has been done,
but not in a commercial way. As peach
is the most difficult fruit to grow from
cuttings or from grafts, and as it is per-
haps the easiest to propagate by budding
of all our northern fruits, it would be a
loss of time and money to try to grow
them commercially from cuttings.

GRAFTING EVERGREENS.

The increased demand for choice ever-
greens of good specimen size has given
a stimulus to the practice of grafting.

There are many things necessary for
consideration when the grafting of ever-
greens is in contemplation, and one of
the most important is that the stocks be
in good condition at the time grafting is
to be done. Seedlings to be used for the
purpose should be established in pots.
They should be potted in spring and then
plunged outdoors, where they should re-
main until late fall, when they will have
to be removed to a cool greenhouse or

to frames, where they can be convenient-
ly reached when wanted for grafting on.
Before starting to graft, it will be nec-
essary to introduce the plants used as
stocks into gentle heat and keep them
there for a time suflScient to insure a

free flow of sap, when the scions may be
inserted. It will not do to lower the
temperature after grafting, because a
growicg temperature is necessary, not
only for the success of the union, but
also that no check be given to the growth
after it begins.

In selecting stocks for grafting any
kind of tree, or, for that matter, any-
thing else, it should be borne in mind
that success is more likely if stock and
scion are as closely related as the re-
quirements will permit. M.

ONCINNATL

The Market

Taking the general report from the re-
tail stores, it would seem that business
was a little quiet, being restricted mostly
to funeral work. There was a good deal
of, funeral work, though, and most of
the stores were kept busy with it. It
is just as well that the demand was
not so very heavy, for as it was there
were scarcely enough flowers to fill all
orders. The shortage of flowers caused
a stiffening of the quotations all around,
and at the present time prices are all
that the grower could desire.
Various Notes.

February 1 was the coldest day of
the year so far. The temperature was
below zero in many localities, and the
worst feature of it all, from a grower 's
point of view, was that the wind was
blowing about forty miles an hour dur-
ing the coldest period. Several of the
florists report small losses from freezing,
and the heaviest loser will probably be
B. P. Critchell. His loss will be con-
siderable, but cannot be estimated just
yet.

George & Allan report business good,
with many funeral orders.

J. T. Conger has been kept quite
busy with funeral work and, besides using
the output of his own houses, he has been
a daily visitor in the wholesale district.

Peter Herb states that the variety
which he was able to hold till so late in
the season is Chadwick. Some of the
stock was planted late, but the rest of
it was planted at the usual time. It
seemed to grow slowly and did not ma-
ture till late, and the blooms were in
excellent condition when cut and used.
In fact, a few dozen of them were in
good condition the last of January.

L. F. Benson, of Newport, Ky., has
about made up his mind to sell out his
store and locate in one of the western
states. Before doing so he intends to
take a trip west and see what locality
suits him best. His store here has al-
ways been a money-maker, but he be-
lieves that his health will be better in
the western climate.

K. A. Betz has moved his wire works
from the old location at 113 East Third
street to a much larger and better place
at 128 East Third street, where he will
be much better situated for carrying
on his wire design business.

B. P. Critchell is confined to his bed
with a severe case of rheumatism.

Among the visitors last week was
Thomas Joy, of Nashville, Tenn.

C. J. Ohmer.

We have a splendid stock of both Winsor and White Enchantress ready for immediate delivery, and will guarantee perfect satisfaction

Carnation Day.

Sales this year did not compare favor-
ably with last year 's business for McKin-
ley day. The reason was very evident,
for on that occasion this year the ther-
mometer registered the lowest tempera-
ture of the season and few people ven-
tured out.

It would be of more benefit to the
trade if people on this day would use
more flowers in their homes by giving
carnation parties or something of that
sort. It was forcibly proven this year
that the demand for boutonnieres de-
pended entirely on the weather. "What
looks more incongruous, anyway, than
heavy wraps and frozen flowers? Let
the home parties, with their floral favors,
continue and increase in popularity and
the sales for Carnation day will be satis-
factory and remunerative. J. L. J.

REASONS

MAY"

Why You Should Plant MAY

May is a strictly commercial variety. Business
from beginning to end.

It comes into bloom early and continues unin-
terruptedly until the end of the season.

It is freer than any other light pink we know of.

The size of the bloom is just what you want in
quantity, 2}4 to 3^ inches.

The color is deeper and brighter and more even
than Enchantress and holds better.

The form is well shown in illustration.

It is not so crowded in the center as Enchant-
ress, therefore opens quicker.

The calyx never splits and stem is always strong.

The plant grows strong and upright and about
as tall as Lady Bountiful.

Makes nice plants in the field and transplants
easily.

We invite you to come and see our stock of it
any time; you will like its habit.

The Rarden committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society recently visited the
greenhouses of H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, to see his carnations. A white seedling which is
largely planted and which has been shown at Boston and other shows, was looking fine. It is
the most wonderfully prolific white the committee had seen. The flower is large, full and the
stem ideal.— Boston News-letter in Nov. 28, 1907, issue of Thk Florists' Review.

The Market

There was a decided lull in business
the latter part of last week, but aside
from this business has been quite satis-
factory for January. Stock piled up
some during the lull, but not enough to
bring down the prices.

Hoses have been about equal to the
demand. Carnations have been a little
more than plentiful. A noticeable fea-
ture about the carnations was the over-
abundance of white. Many fine sweet
peas are on the market and meet with
good call.

Bulbous stock is more than enough.
Nearly all the large store men grow
enough of this stock for their own
needs and the little that is sold at whole-
sale is not nearly enough to relieve the
market. Kobert Klagge, of Mount Clem-
ens, who is the largest wholesale grower
in this locality, has decided to give up
bulbous stock.

Various Notes,

Ferdinand Beyer, head gardener at
the Wayne county house, is the inventor
of a machine for scrubbing flower pots.
Common sand is applied in such a way
as to save much labor. Mr. Beyer claims
much for his invention and intends to
manufacture it as soon as some capital
can be interested.

Breitmeyer's have the decorations for
the assembly ball at the Country Club.

Schroeter's had an exceptionally heavy
run on funeral work the latter part of
last week, which kept the whole force
working overtime.

NEW ROSE

My Maryland

Best up-to-date commercial rose. Read what others

have to say about it.

Among the many new roses of the year there is none which has impressed us
more as being worthy of a thorough trial. It has been exhibited only as 294, being a
seedling raised by John Cook, of Baltimore. A beautiful rose with an exquisite fra-
grance. In color it may be described as a soft salmon pink, which brightens up beau-
tifully as the bud opens. We are intending to plant this rose in quantity.

A. N. PiERSON, Cromwell, Conn.

In answer to your inquiry what we think of your new rose. My Maryland, we
would say that after seeing others we still believe that you have the best new rose of
modern times. GuDE Bros. Co., Washington, D. C.

WASHINGTON.

State of Business*

There has been a decided improvement
in business this week, especially with the
decorators. There was quite a number
of dinners and receptions.

McKinley day helped some, but on the
whole there were not so many carnations
sold as last year. It was noticed, on
this occasion, that a number of carna-
tion growers did not wear the flower,
though they are so much benefited by
the national carnation day.

Various Notes.

Echoes from the convention sound
good. Everybody seemed to have a good
time. Among the last to arrive were the
Bate brothers, from Cleveland. They
stayed over for a day before going
to Philadelphia and New York. Mr.
Skidelsky was still with us on Saturday.
He smiled as he patted his order book
and winked.

The Gude Bros., who had such a hard
time with the unknown insect pest in
their fern house last fall, now have a
large stock of Brianii ferns. They sold
150 pots during the convention and still
have some.

r. H. Kramer booked quite a few
orders for his Queen Beatrice rose.

President Eoosevelt was much pleased
with the fine jars of carnations pre-
sented to him by the Carnation Society.
After the reception he again thanked
the oflScers of the local club. On the
following night, at a dinner for the
judges of the supreme court, Mrs. Roose-
velt gave orders that no other flowers
except the carnations presented to the
president were to be used on the tables
and in the rooms. Mr. Oliver, the White
House decorator, arranged them with
splendid effect. Mrs. Ward was used
on the table.

At the dinner recently given by Sec-
retary Bonaparte to the president, 500
Killamey roses were used. The center-
piece was made to represent a huge cos-
mos flower, with a tall vase in the cen-
ter. This was of Killamey roses, mignon-
ette and white lilac. Z. D. Blackistone
had a decoration.

J. A. Phillips, with his young son, is
visiting his home in Toledo, O. Mrs.
Phillips reports business very good.

February 6, 1908.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

State of Trade.

Trade is still heavy; there is no let-up
to the funeral work. Some extra large
orders have been handled, which used
up loads of stock. Roses are doing fine,
especially Maids, which are just the
right color, and when they come that
way they are hard to beat. Carnations
are coming much better and there are
not quite so many splits as there were
at last writing. Bulbous stock is com-
ing in heavily now, but there has been
no glut on anything so far this season
and it does not seem likely there will be
for some time to come.

Various Notes.

The riorists' Club held its regular
meeting Tuesday evening, January 28.
After a short business meeting the mem-
bers all adjourned to the bowling alleys,
where they had a good time for a couple
of hours. The high scores were made by
McKellar, Seibert, Currie, Blum and
Munk.

Eobert Schenck reports business good
for a beginner.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is in-
stalling a cistern for catching water from
the range of houses and also one for
manure water, which will be pumped out
with a steam pump, through the water-
ing pipes. '

The Franklin Park Floral Co. reports
business heavy for the last two weeks
and stock doing finely.

Underwood Bros, report plenty of fu-
neral work lately.

The Munk Floral Co. is cutting some
fine carnations and finds ready sale for
them.

A. Rosnosky, of H. F. Michell Co.,
Philadelphia, was a visitor on his way
west. J. M.

New 'Kensington, Pa. — J. Walter
Bhea has opened a flower store at 882
Fifth avenue. He was formerly with the
McRae-Jenkinson Co.

Faiigo, N. D.— Winthrop B. Shotwell
has purchased the interest of John L.
Graver, of the firm of Shotwell & Graver,
^d will continue the business in com-
pany with A. T. Shotwell, a former mem-
ber of the firm. Hereafter the firm will
be known as the Shotwell Floral Co.

Grand Rapids, Mich. — J. F. Nellist,
who has a hothouse in which he has been
growing lettuce and other vegetables for
the market, recently made a start also
in the floral branch of the business and
is preparing to extend that department
in the spring. Mr. Nellist lately com-
pleted a geological map of Michigan.

NOVELTIE5S

I offer to the trade my two Moonvlnes, grown from
cuttings, as they always do better than those grown
from seed for blooming. One variety Is the blue Moon-
vine, called Learil, or Heavenly Blue; a very choice
variety to plant with the white Moonvlne. The other
is a seedling I grew two years ago. It came Into bloom
quite small. I tested it for two years and found it to
be a thrifty grower and an abundant bloomer, of the
largest size and pure white. I named it Midnight
Beauty. September 1, 1907, I planted one plant in one
end of a house 24 feet wide and 14 feet high, and up to
December 19, 1907, it covered the entire end of the
greenhouse and almost hid an 8-foot Ficus that stood
there, December 19, when I cut it up for cuttings, the
entire vine was a mass of buds. Two weeks before I
cut it up for cuttings it was a mass of bloom. Cut-
tings are now ready of both varieties.

I offer to the trade my new Coleus, Banner of Japan.
With two years' test it proved all right. It retains its
colors, which are remarkably neat and beautiful. Also
fifteen other named varieties of Coleus, including all
best sorts. For prices watch the Review, or write, stat-
ing how many you need.

I will introduce to the trade my new seedling Helio-

H. L. HARTMAN, best Gr«raniuiii.

VIOLET-KING, Best Lantana.

trope. Blue Jay; a pretty new Heliotrope that is very
dwarf, short, almost round-leaved, very dark green,
free bloomer and fragrant; color dark blue with large
white eye. I think it the finest thing ever offered in
Heliotropes. Plants scarce this season. I have seven
other named varieties; the best grown. For prices
watch the Review, or write to me.

I shall have to offer by February 15 thirty-five named
varieties of Verbenas, selected from two of the leading
Verbena growers in America. These varieties I find to
be the best selling varieties about Greater Pittsburg.
For prices watch the Review or write, stating how
many you need.

Ten thousand Geraniums from 214-inch pots — H. L.
Hartman, S. A. Nutt and Marvel. This latter variety
is nearly the same as S. A. Nutt, but it has larger indi-
vidual flowers and a larger truss. The color is the
same, except that the lower half of each floret is shaded
with a purple and maroon cast; very attractive. For
prices watch the Review, or write.

In my experience in the florists' business since 1876
I have not found any varieties in this class of plants
to be so pleasing in all respects as the following:

MIDNIGHT BEAUTY, Best Moonvine.

BANNER OF JAPAN, Best Coleus.

BLUE JAT, Best Heliotrope.

This narrative is the experience of many men, and it Is true.

HAMMOND'S GRAPB DUST

MILDEW ON ROSES, CARNATIONS, ETC.

Now, in regards to your "Grape Dust," I must say that when I first heard of It I had but
little faith in it, because I had tried all the remedies for Mildew I had ever heard of, but they were
of little value. It seems that my location favors Mildew especially. When other Florists are but
little troubled, my houses are generally well covered with the Mildew, so when I sent for the first
keg of "Grape Dust" my Roses were almost worthless, but since using the " Grape Dust " my
Roses are the " Picture of Health." There is not a vestige of Mildew to be seen on my place, and
ray Roses fetch double the price; besides, I have saved a month of firing, which I used to be com-
pelled to do to kill Mildew. Yours respectfully.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y.

The Tarrytown Horticultural Society
held its regular monthly meeting in
Good Templars' hall, Friday evening,
January 31, -with President Angus in
the chair and a large attendance of
members. "William W. Weaver was
elected an active member and one new
nomination was received.

Several communications were read
from friends regretting their inability
to be present at our last annual din-
ner. An invitation was also read from
the New Jersey Floricultural Society, re-
questing members to attend its annual
smoker, February 7, 1908.

As it was carnation night, and as
Treasurer J. T. Lawrie had kindly of-
fered two prizes for the best eighteen
blooms, three varieties, six of each, a
fine display of flowers was in evidence.
The first prize was awarded to Samuel
Untermyer, W. H. Waite gardener,.
Yonkers, N. Y., with the varieties Winsor,
Enchantress and White Enchantress. The
second prize went to George Legg, J.
Elliott gardener, Tarrytown, N. Y., with
White Enchantress, Miss H. M. Gould
and Mrs. M. A. Patten. F. R. Pierson
Co. had, for display only, a very fine
lot, which were awarded honorable men-
tion; the varieties were White Perfec-
tion, Red Chief, Victory, Melody, Beacon,
Winsor, Rose-pink Enchantress, White
Enchantress and Lawson. Honorable
mention was awarded to Scott Bros.,
Elmsford Nurseries, for vases of Bea-
con and Miss H. M. Gould; also a cul-
tural certificate to Mr. Waite for a very
fine vase of Mignonette May's Giant.

Quite a lengthy discussion on carna-
tions followed, with special reference to
cuttings, methods of Striking, tempera-
ture, growing ready for the field or in-
door culture, benching, etc. All listened
with pleasure to the interesting remarks

The most entertaining feature of the
evening was the brief account of visits
made by F. R. Pierson to several grow-
ers in different parts of the country;
also his attendance at the convention of
the American Carnation Society at Wash-

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Febbuart 6, 1008.

TOLEDO, OHIO.

State of Trade.

Almost without exception local florists
report a satisfactory month for Janu-
ary, Business was better than fair and
collections were exceptionally good, all
conditions considered. What quietness
there was is attributable entirely to the
extremely cold weather rather than to
any condition of the financial world.

The one disappointment that was ex-
perienced by every dealer was the lack
of demand for carnations on McKinley's
day. While there was a slight increase,
it was nothing compared with a year
ago, and dealers are beginning to ask
the question, "Will McKinley day ever
be generally recognized?" However,
some of the more optimistic attribute the
lack of business in carnations on this
day to the fact that it was a raw, cold
day.

The first really cold weather of the
winter season was experienced late iih
January and from the way that Feb-
ruary started out it is likely that this
will be a quiet month. The first two days
of the month saw the temperature down
to zero for the first time of the season.
Not only that, but the ground hog saw
his shadow, so it seems certain that cold
weather will rule trade during this month.

However, there is not much worry
because of this condition, which is to be
expected, and florists generally are spend-
ing their time in preparation for the
spring trade.

Various Notes.

F. J. Farney, representing A. L. Ran-
dall Co., Chicago, spent two days in
the city last week. A number of local
florists looked over his line at the Jef-
ferson hotel.

Harry Heinl cut a splendid lot of
white lilacs February 3. His lilacs turn-
ed out better than ever this season.

A. Eingier, representing the W. W.
Barnard Co., Chicago, called on a num-
ber of local dealers last week.

J. Sackett, of Fostoria, O., and Mrs.
B. Orland, of Clyde, were trade visitors
in the city February 1.

Mr. Feniger, of Feniger & Spanner,
conducting the Youngstown Floral Co.,
is spending a few days at his home in
Cleveland. He will return the latter
part of the week.

George Heinl is still visiting his broth-
er at South Bend, Ind.

F. M. Peck, who opened a store on
Summit street a few weeks ago, re-
ports a good business in his new place.

I. N. Keeler, of the Bay Shore, brought
in a fine lot of green peas February 3.

The Youngstown Floral Co. is having
a good demand for violets, which are
selling at 25 cents per bunch.

^H. L. S.

SWEET PEAS.

In growing sweet peas for market,
long stems are of great importance.
Good bunching and good packing are
other important items. In cutting sweet
peas care should be taken that none that
are far advanced are taken. One or two
flowers that are too far advanced, if
included in a bunch, may spoil the sale of
a whole box. I have seen various sam-
ples received to sell on commission where
many of the blooms have been far past
their best. It pays to take a little
trouble when cutting or bunching. In
the case of those with three flowers
on a stem, the top one should be only
half expanded when cut, and they will

keep better for the next day's trade
if cut early in the morning, the stems
dipped into water, and packed and shut
up in a close box. When cut in the
afternoon, after a hot, sunny morning,
they wither quickly, and it is difficult to
revive them. Always see that the empty
boxes are kept in a cool place and
are moist when used for packing; hot,
dry boxes will cause the flowers to wither
quickly, says the Horticultural Adver-
tiser.

fireeahotise Heating.

This is the season of the year at which
greenhouse owners who are using steam
for heating, if they depend on gravity
to return condensation, make up their
minds to put in a steam trap before
another season. The Morehead Mfg. Co..
Detroit, says more steam traps were sold
to florists in 1907 than in any previous
year, while the prospect for 1908 is for
another considerable increase.

POSITION OF EXPANSION TANK,

I thank you for your reply to my ques-
tion, printed in the Review of January
16, regarding piping, and would like to
ask whether the proposed branches should
be 2-inch, the same as the flow pipe, or
smaller. What is the object of raising
the expansion tank so high? If it were
raised above the roof of the boiler-shed,
it would have to be protected and a heat-
ing pipe carried up to it, to prevent freez-
ing. It would also be inconvenient to
fill, and the water gauge would be out
of sight. E. C. B.

■ The branches in each case should be the
same size as the main flow, which in this
case is 2-inch. If you cut a hole eighteen
inches square through the xoof of the
boiler-room and carry the expansion tank
on a trestle so as to place it twelve or
fifteen feet above the high point in the
system, you will thus make the boiler
more eflicient by increasing the tempera-
ture to which the water can be heated.

The expansion tank will not freeze if
housed in by double boarding and tar

or tank used for the expansion tank can
be indicated by placing a float in the

PKBntJART 6, 1908.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

The market last • week was only-
fair, the brand of weather we have been
getting being partly responsible. It was
bad most of the week, and Saturday,
wlien most of the dealers hoped to
clean up, was the worst of all, with
snow and rain all the morning and wind,
flnow and zero for the afternoon and
evening. So there was considerable left
over.

Stock of all kinds is very plentiful
and cheap, especially Paper Whites, tulips
and freesias. Lilies are now quite plen-
tiful.

Vaxtout Notes.

The delegation to the carnation con-
vention returned Friday morning, Janu-
ary 31. They reported having had a
fine time and a good convention. Every
one was satisfied, especially the com-
mittee which worked for the convention
for 1909. A tie vote was cast for the
two cities, Pittsburg and Indianapolis,
each receiving 83 votes. At an opportune
time the Pittsburg delegation withdrew
and moved that a unanimous vote be cast
in favor of Indianapolis. Many prom-
ises of delegates from Indianapolis, Chi-
cago and other western cities were given
to our delegation to support us at the
convention for 1910 and select Pittsburg
as the meeting place.

The following men stopped over to
visit Fred Burki at the office of the
Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.: Nick Zweifel,
Milwaukee, Wis.; J. S. Wilson, Western
Springs, 111.; A. Poehlmann, Chicago,
111.; John A. Evans, Richmond, Ind.
While they struck the worst weather of
the year, they made the most of it and
saw all that was to be seen.

Others who stopped here on their way
home were: C. P. Dudley, Parkersburg,
W. Va.; W. R. Maebius, Lock No. 4,
Pa. ; I. S. Crall, Monongahela, Pa.

Joseph Jones was smiling all day
and told me in confidence toward even-
ing that it was another girl.

Henry Baldinger, one of the oldest
gardeners in this vicinity, has the sym-
pathy of his host of friends in the loss
of his wife. Mrs. Baldinger was in
the best of health when her daughters left
home Saturday morning, and before they
could open their stands in the markets
messengers were there to inform them of
the death of their mother. Hoo-Hoo.

THE RETAIL

FLORIST

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.

As Applied to the Retail Florist.

A close student of modern business
methods cannot fail to be impressed with
the wonderfully important position oc-
cupied by publicity in present day mer-
chandising.

Publicity, in its modern and more fa-
miliar sense, is but another word for ad-
vertising.

It is a synonym for business-getting
print.

Of all modern forces in sales-making,
advertising is the most important and
the most potent.

Advertising is as old as the hills.

Its great modern force is the result of
careful study of the factors which make
for its development and best success.

Advertising has become a business in
itself, a specialty — a profession.

The growth of the advertising business
in all its ramifications has been stupen-
dous.

No farther back than 1884 Harper's
Magazine carried only about twelve
pages of general advertising in a single
issue, and the makers of Pears' soap,
like other big advertisers, thought it nec-
essary to change copy only two or three
times a year.

But a mighty development began about
1891, and the old commonplace efforts
gave way to high art and sensible busi-
ness English.

Manufacturers of staples soon found
that, instead of selling the entire prod-
uct of a factory to jobbers at a close
margin of profit, they could acquire for-
tunes by ^Ivertising under a trade-mark
name and then compelling the dealer to
come to them and pay prices that not
only settled for the advertising, but left
an enormous profit besides.

Extent of Modem Advertising.

Over a billion dollars is annually spent
in advertising in this country, with a
steady increase each year.

Manufacturers, wholesalers and retail-
ers, everywhere, in all lines of business,
are recognizing the real worth and im-
portance of advertising as a trade win-
ner, applying its force and receiving
large returns. Its effect is manifold and
manifest.

For instance, in the western metrop-
olis, Chicago, there are two great mail
order houses, leaders in this branch
of business. One of them in the year
1904 did a business of more than $50,-
000,000, the other a volume of more than
$40,000,000, and not a single salesman
on the road for either house.

There was absolutely nothing contrib-
uting to this gigantic total of $90,000,-
000 but adve'rtising in mail order jour-
nals, in magazines and newspapers.

So vast and intricate have the details
of American advertising become that
great houses known as advertising
agencies have within a quarter of a cen-
tury come into being, and they now take

rank among the most impo»tant modern
economic movements.

One of these firms, during the few
years of its history, has placed over
$150,000,000 for clients, who were coun-
seled and advised by this agency in the
purchase of space and the display of
copy.

When we get a glimpse of these tre-
mendous organizations, these combined
forces, all engaged in applying the idea
of publicity in the commercial world, it
becomes clear that it is a subject de-
serving the serious and careful study of
every business man who seeks the largest
measure of success.

Old-fashioned Methods.

During the last few years the retail
florists' trade has undergone a complete
revolution, including almost every phase
of the business.

Competition is decidedly keea.

And yet, in the face of these facts,
most florists continue to advertise in the
same manner as they did five years ago
— running a small card in the newspapers
the year round without a change.

Such advertising, if it can be so called,
certainly can never meet the demands

them, to be sure, but how much better
can you do with them!

Today the question does not stand,
"Shall we advertise?" but "How shall
we advertise?"

Advertising is not necessarily a sci-
ence, governed by certain fixed laws,
which if religiously followed will yield
pre-caleulated results.

Neither is it a game of chance.

It is essentially an art and, like all
good art, is founded upon scientific prin-
ciples, which are mostly psychological,
having reference to the mental opera-
tions of the average mind under vary-
ing circumstances.

Therefore, while certain results from
advertising may always be obtained, the
greatest possible results can only be de-
rived from the exercise of good judg-
ment, backed up by experience in the
preparation of copy, and by a thorough
knowledge of human nature in all its
varied phases, a knowledge which must
be more or less instinctive — intuitive.

Advertising is an appeal for business.

It is salesmanship where the printed
page is used instead of oral solicitation;
its purpose is to persuade — to create
business.

Compel Attention.

In salesmanship the whole secret is to
persuade the prospective customer that
an article is desirable and worthy of
acquisition. The same is true with ad-
vertising. The approach should be care-
fully planned and the uninterested should
be compelled to take notice.

Inertia and indifference are common
traits; hence the endeavor should be to
overcome these tendencies in the first
instance.

WINTER BEAUTIES

An Example of a Good Advertisement for a Retail Elorist*

of modern merchandising, which are ex-
acting to a degree.

It is a noteworthy fact that the re-
tail florists' trade has been unusually
slow in recognizing the great value of
judicious advertising as a business
builder. This backwardness is undoubt-
edly due to the fact that florists them-
selves feel unequal to the task of pre-
paring effective copy.

Advertising of some sort is as indis-
pensable to the success of any retail
florist's business as a typewriter or a
telephone. You may get along without

The majority of people "read as they

The initial attack must be a success.

Once having gained the attention, any
amount of terse, strongly written matter
may be interposed.

Successful advertising is applied psy-
chology, and is an appeal to the senses,
the emotions and the intellect.

In advertising a food delicacy, the ap-
peal is made to the sense of taste until

flavor; when a perfume is advertised the
sense of smell is appealed to, until the
reader actually smells the subtle fra-
grance.

In floral advertising the reader's at-
tention shoiild first be secured, as in gen-
eral advertising.

This is most effectively accomplished
by using attractive illustrations and
striking catch lines.

Shun the Commonplace.

Aim to get away from the common-
place.

Instead of using the old, stereotyJ)ed
card, running in the newspapers with
others of competing firms, use this space

The reader must be persuaded that the
firm is one of excellent and e&tablished
reputation, handling merchandise of one
class only, and that , the best ; that the
business has been built up by honest, fair
dealing and a determination to be up-to-
date.

Even an advertisemerft of small dimen-
sions, if prepared along the lines cited
above and changed weekly, will work
wonders for any retailer.

There is a certain kind of copy, con-
taining a certain class of illustrations
and made up of a certain line of selling
talk, which fits in with the sale of your
product, and this is the kind for which
you must search and which you must find
before you succeed.

TWO nNE PHLOXES*

A few years ago the F. R. Pierson Co.,
of Tarrytown-on-Hudson, N. Y., sent out
two new phloxes, one of which was F. Q-.
Von Laasburg, a fine white, and the other
was Crepuscule. It is a large white with
a large purplish center, somewhat on the
style of Richard Wallace, only with a
much larger flower. The plants are dwarf
and the flower heads are large and
pyramidal. Altogether it is one of the
finest phloxes.

Now, how does it happen that while
F. G. Von Laasburg is quite generally
catalogued, the other variety does not ap-
pear in any catalogue I have seen except
F. R. Pierson 's? At any rate, I have
never seen it in any other list. I know
this, that a solid bed of the two phloxes
makes a sight worth going far to see.
Please stir this up a little and make it
public, so that a good thing like this
may not remain any longer in obscurity.

FLORICULTURAL EDUCATION.

A Beginner's Experience.

Reading T. A. Kempton's letter and
the replies to it has tempted me to relate
my experience. I am a young woman
of 25, a high school graduate with one
year in college. Mother and I are left
alone on the old farm and she is no
longer young. The land is rented, but
we have the house and the two or three
acres of rich land which surround it,
situated in the midst of a small town,
only a short distance from excellent ship-
ping facilities. For the last three sum-
mers I have grown flowers for the whole-
sale market, with fair success. But
the long winters bring in nothing.

I have $300 saved up and last winier
I decided to use it toward building
a small hothouse, suitable for raising
violets. This saving meant much to me
and I wished to feel reasonably sure of
success before taking any risk. I had
never seen a violet house or a violet
growing, excepting wild ones. After
sending for books on violet culture and
reading them, I was more conscious than
ever of the great deal that I did not
know and the woeful briefness of the
writers on the subject.

"What I needed was a little experience.
So I sought diligently for some success-
ful grower who could use my services —
and I'm not lazy — for a month or two
during the winter, asking only for my
board and perhaps my traveling expenses
one way, and that I be allowed to learn
as much as possible of the method of
growing, manner of packing, etc., more
by observation than by actual teaching.
No one seemed to desire such an ex-
change, and yet I do not think it unfair.
I certainly did not ask for charity.

No, I did not build the hothouse. It
is yet ahead in the mysterious "some-

materialize and I can grow real live vio-
lets, I think I shall be the happiest girl
on earth, if not the wealthiest.

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM.

Dedicated to C. H. Totty.

Flower of the garden Inland of eartb.

Will you whisper your secret to me?
Tell me the goddess that gave you birth,

Where you gathered the graces I see,
Where garnered your treasure of lustrous gold.

How distilled your deep crimson dye.
For the wealth of the world your buds enfold

And the sunset glow of the sky.

UKFUAIN:

Warm are my lips. Chrysanthemum,
Bright shine my eyes whene'er you come.
Firm on my heart thy throne, my queen;
Pride of my life, thou art supreme.

The Artist that paints the evening skies

Used his colors your blossoms to grace;
Their shining splendor enchants my eyes

While I worship the beauty 1 trace.
The wild north wind has breathed on thee.

For thy petals are flakes of snow.
Oh, pure are the flowers that shine on me;

Can men wonder I love them soV

REFRAIN:

Warm are my lips, Chrysanthemum,
Bright shine my eyes whene'er you come.
Firm on my heart thy throne, my queen;
Pride of my life, thou art supreme.

Thy radiant hues embrace all the light

Of the rainbow archway above;
The angels must gather enthralled by the sight

Of the Queen of the Eden of Love.
With passionate fondness I gather thee up.

Fill my arms with the best thou dost give;
I am satisfied now, thou fillest my cup

To the brim, and for thee will I live.

REFRAIN:

And on my eyes and lips shall come
Thy witching light. Chrysanthemum.
Filled is my heart with thee, my queen.
Till life shall end, thou art supreme.

PROPAGATION FOR EXHBITION.

It is none too soon to begin propa-
gating for the coming season. While
there is ample time yet for many kinds
that are good, free growers, unless one
wants to increase the stock considerably,
still there are some dwarf, slow growing
kintls that must have early propagation,
if the finest flowers are needed. Among
them we would include the following:
Beatrice /May, Pres. Loubet, Mary Ann
Pockett, Merza, Lady Hopetoun, Nellie
Pockett, Cheltoni and May Seddon. All
exhibitors know that these varieties do
not show their true character unless they
have a long season of growth. The dif-
ference in the flower of a Nellie Pockett,
for instance, that has been well grown
and flowered from an August bud, and
the shallow, flat flowers as seen in the
wholesale market, is so great that I
have heard men deny that they were
both flowers of the same variety.

I have had good flowers of Beatrice
May from plants rooted in May or early
.June, but the stem would be so short —
twelve inches — that the flowers could
not be staged advantageously.

Loubet last year was, generally speak-
ing, very poor, and I am convinced that
it' was due to late propagation and the
plants not having time to ripen their
wood properly. If Loubet can. be grown
big one year it can be grown big an-
other year, if conditions are reasonably
similar.

I have noticed, also, that varieties
that are delicate in constitution, SHch
as the old Guy Hamilton or Mrs. D. V.
West, if they are rooted early and
kept pinched close, make a much stronger
growth when they are finally permitted
to come away, the reason being that the

plant has been busy forming roots and
gathering strength.

In trimming the cuttings, do not be
afraid to cut off the most of the leaves
and trim the remainder closely, because
they are not needed on the cutting and
only retard its rooting by wilting and
lying over the sand, and one cannot put
nearly so many cuttings in a given space
if they are not well trimmed, to allow
the air to circulate between the rows.

Years ago we used to hear a great
fuss being made about rooting chrysan-
themums without bottom heat, but I
venture to say that growers in all the
northern latitudes now use some bottom
heat ; not an excess, of course, but enough
to keep the cuttings dry at night and
the sand at an average of 60 degrees.
So treated, there is practically no loss,
and by using the warm end of the bench
for slow rooting kinds, like Montigny,
the whole batch can be taken out to-
gether.

Just as soon as the cutting begins to
push out roots, or wher; the roots are an
inch long, is the time to pot it up. Stock
is often greatly injured by being left

too long in the sand and making long
roots and a spindly top. Such stock is
practically ruined at the starting of its
career and never makes the dwarf, short-
jointed plant that is the joy of the ex-
port's heart. C. H. Tottt.

IN CANADA.

In an article on horticultural condi-
tions in Canada, mostly devoted to an
account of the fruit interests, W. T.
Macoun, of the Central Experimental
Farm at Ottawa, concludes as follows:

' * The development of floriculture in
Canada has been rapid. Notwithstand-
ing the severer winters than those to
the south of us, the plant and cut flower
trade has developed wonderfully, the in-
crease in the value of trade being 400
per cent during the last ten years. It
has been estimated that the amount of
capital invested in greenhouse equip-
ment, stock, etc., is $5,000,000* with an
annual value of trade transacted of $2,-
000,000. This is but a beginning, as
Canadians love flowers.

"At the beginning of the twentieth
century Canada has about 6,000,000 pop-
ulation, or, approximately, as great as
the United States had at the beginning
of the nineteenth century. It has been
said that the nineteenth century was for
the United States what the twentieth
century is for Canada. We believe that
this is true in regard to horticulture, as
in other matters."

GRAFTING AND BENCHING.

We should like to know what results
have been attained by some of the lead-
ing rose growers who have grown both
grafted and own-root stock for forcing,
and also whether solid stages or benches
would bring the best results. We should
also Jike to know whether benches raised
only six inches above the floor of the
greenhouse, just so there would be a
circulation of air under the benches,
woqld have any advantage over solid
beds. Will two-year-old stock produce
good results on benches that are only
six inches in depth, without changing
soil or plants? G. & S.

The principal object to be attained in
using grafted stock is to secure better
root action in those varieties which are
naturally weak on their own roots or
which, through a long period of forcing,
have become deteriorated in vitality.

In the Manetti, a rose of Italian ori-
gin, are combined the qualities of vigor
and robustness, with fine fibrous roots,
which continue in activity during the
entire season, a most essential requisite
for the everblooming varieties. Another
very material qualification possessed by
this stock is its immunity from the rav-
ages of eel worms. From inquiries made
during the past few years I have not
heard of one authentic case of eel worms
infesting plants grafted on this stock.
Where this pest is prevalent it would cer-
tainly appear from latest evidence to be
the safest course to graft all suitable
varieties, such as Bride, Bridesmaid,
Kichmond and Beauty, on this stock.

By securing increased root action dur-
ing the period from propagating time
until October, we are able to produce
a much larger and stronger plant, which
will certainly give a bigger cut of blooms.
If this root action can be sustained dur-
ing the winter months, the plants will be
able to assimilate a larger quantity of
food and, logically, they should still be
able to give a larger cut.

Where the soil is of a poor quality,
requiring an extra amount of feeding
matter added, grafting is a distinct ad-

vantage, but where the soil is heavy and
of a richer character the advantages are
not quite so apparent.

I have for years grown grafted stock
of Bride and Bridesmaid alongside these
varieties on their own roots, in both light
and heavy soils, and kept a record of the
results of each from October 1 till May
30. These records show that grafted
stock grown on poor soil was more pro-
ductive and the blooms of better quality
than were those on their own roots in
the same class of soil, though in both re-
spects they fell behind those same varie-
ties on their own roots where planted in
the richer soil.

The grafted stock planted in strong,
fibrous loam certainly made astonishing
growth, being nearly twice the size of
those on their own roots. The first cut
was of about the same quantity per
plant, but the quality of the bud was
inferior. During the winter months the
quality improved, particularly in length
and wiriness of stem, but frequently —
much more frequently than with those
on their own roots — the buds were off
color. Different conditions of soil, water
and climate have a modifying effect
which can only be determined by experi-
ment.

The question of the most suitable kind
of bench has been freely discussed in
these columns, some preferring raised
benches and others the solid bench. For
first-year stock we have always had best
results from raised benches, but where
we have transplanted these into solid
benches for a second year's work the re-
sults have been satisfactory. Benches
raised just high enough to let the air
pass under them freely are suitable for
any class of rose, and particularly suit-
able for Beauty growing. In raised
benches, where stock had to be carried
over a second year, we always found the
ordinary 5-inch bench deep enough.

This querist would be benefited by
studying some work on grafted stock
in which the advantages and disadvan-
tages are set forth. A. Montgomery, Jr.,
published just such a work, which covers
the whole field in a clear and concise

NICKERSON PRIZES FOR ROSES.

It will be remembered by those who
take an active interest in roses that last
year W. E. Nickerson, an enthusiastic
rosarian at Boston, Mass., presented three
silver cups to the National Eose Society
of Great Britain, to be awarded to the
raisers of the best hybrid perpetual, the
best hybrid tea, and the best tea-scented
variety introduced within a prescribed
period. The award of these cups was
entrusted to a specially appointed 'com-
mittee, and in the result the raisers of
Frau Karl Druschki, Mme. Jules Graver-
eaux, and Dean Hole, were adjudged
the winners. As these roses are of Ger-
man, French and Irish origin, no one
could well suggest that in the making
of their awards the members of the com-
mittee were influenced by insular prej-
udice. Their selection has been ques-
tioned by some, but this has been largely
due to the fact that the time limit has
been overlooked. Mr. Nickerson was so
well satisfied with the results that this
year he has placed twelve cups at the
disposal of the English society for hon-

oring the best dwarf and climbing roses,
without any stipulation as to the year
of introduction. He suggests that four
cups should be awarded for bush roses,
four for climbers blooming in trusses,
and four for climbers with flowers not
in trusses, the cups in each group to
be awarded to the best red, the best
pink, the best white, and the best yel-
low variety.

A JERSEY ROSE HOUSE.

The accompanying illustrations show
the rose house erected last spring by
Stockton & Howe, at Princeton, N. J,
The house is 54x317, of iron-frame con-
struction and modern in every detail.
Stockton & Howe are well pleased with
it and it has been visited this season by
many growers studying various styles of
construction.

The roof js supported by four lines of
pipes, with six lines of angle-iron purlins
on each side. There is only one set of
cross ties, that being attached to the
iron rafters just above the point where
the roof is supported by the two inner
rows of pipes. There is continuous venti-
lation on each side of the ridge, the
sashes being operated by the self-locking
worm and gear type of machine. The
worm rod extends down the columns at
the sides, universal connections being
used for the offsets in the Vorm rod. The
ventilation is arranged in fifty-foot
lengths, which has proved satisfactory,
much more so, it is said, than where op-
erated in long lengths, as by this means
it is possible to have better control over
the heat of the house.

There has been practically no break-
age of glass this winter and the house
has proven to be easily maintained at
the desired temperature, the large body
of air contained being a great assist-
ance in maintaining an even temperature.
There are eight raised benches in the
house, which was built by John A. Payne,
of Jersey City, who also supplied the
plant for heating with hot water, which
works satisfactorily in spite of the great
length of the runs.

scholars from the farm homes in the
township, including about twenty-five
square miles, are gathered up every day
by the school wagons and brought to the
institution. Frank Banning, who is well
known to the trade, is one of the prime
movers and writes as follows with regard
to the school :

"I am engaged in building up a li-
brary for our new Centralized Farm
School, principally along agricultural
and horticultural lines, such things as
will encourage the farmers to improve
their homes and make their surround-
ings more attractive for their families;
also in teaching the management of
farm work with more system and order.
The school is doing a great work in in-
teresting our boys and girls in the won-
derful beauty, pleasures and possibili-
ties of country life; it is doing much
to keep them on the farm. In acting
as librarian, I am doing this work at
my own expense, with what help I can
get here at home and from those of my
friends in the trade. The school is
doing much good work in the direction
of giving special horticultural educa-
tion, as well as general knowledge, to
the rising generation in this vicinity, and
if we had more such institutions work-
ing along the same lines, it would be
greatly to^the interests of horticulture."

THE READERS' CORNER.

Ten Years of Expansion*

I saw by the cover of last week's Ke-
viEW that my subscription expires with
this week's issue. I could not possibly
give up the Eeview, so enclose $1 for
the year 's subscription.

The other day, in looking over some
of the early issues of the REViEV*r, I
came across the first special number,
which was the Annual Carnation Num-
ber of February 24, 1898, containing
thirty-six pages — a good and large issue
at that time. The paper certainly has
been expanding since then, with its
double that number of pages in nearly
every issue and its recent specials of 116
and 120 pages. Such a growth surely
must be very encouraging to the pro-
moters.

I wish you a Happy and Prosperous
New Year, with a 100-page issue every
week. John Beimford.

A Standard Bunch of Green.

I would like to inquire, through the
Review, what constitutes a commercial
•mnch of Asparagus plumosus or

A. Sprengeri. At present, as the writer
understands it, each grower makes his
own bunch and, of course, no two bunches
of the same size. When we speak of
a 4-inch flower-pot we have a standard
size all over the United States and
know just what it means. Why not make
the asparagus the same way? Make a
bunch weigh so much and have that
weight a standard, the same as the
flower-pots. Would not this make it
better for both the grower and the re-
tail florist? Could not the S. A. F. act
on this, to the advantage of all con-
cerned? H.
Warwick, R. I.

English Gtmation Growers.

I enclose you international post-oflBce
order for 10 shillings ($2.50), my sub-
scription to the Review for 1908. I
should not like to be without it for three
times $2.50. I congratulate you upon
a fine paper.

I met J. R. Fotheringham, of the
F. R. Pierson Co., at the Winter Flow-
ering Carnation Society's show, London,
in December, and he told me he was much
pleased with our show and that the qual-

ity of bloom was about equal to that of
the best American flowers. This was
very encouraging to our growers, as, un-
less one had been fortunate enough to
see your blooms in America, we had
really nothing to go upon to form
opinions as to whether we were progress-
ing or not.

There is no doubt that we get some fine
blooms here now, and I must say that
the best come from Guernsey, owing to
the brighter and sunnier weather there,
and the special attention given by the
growers to the culture of the plants.

There are many new varieties in the
hands of the growers on this side, and
I would advise your specialists to go in
for Marmion and Mikado. The former
is the forerunner of a new race of car-
nations, being a hybrid between a Mal-
maison and tree (Prosperity, I believe).
It is a pink with a white edge and
measures 4 to 5 inches across the blooms,
upon exceptionally stout and strong
stalks. Mikado is a self-colored plum
or purple, and a great favorite here with
the ladies. It is a money maker.

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

Hydrangeas.

Hydrangeas which are wanted for Eas-
ter should now have little flower heads
peeping in the end of the shoots. If
they are thus far advanced, they will be
in flower in time. Give them a night
temperature of 55 degrees until the heads
are well developed. It is easy to remove
them to a slightly cooler house if they
later require retarding. Do not allow
aphis to get any foothold on the plants,
or the pest will do great damage. If
you attend to the weekly fumigation, in-
sects will not trouble you. Hydrangeas
are thirsty subjects and require a lot of
water. A severe root dryness will cause
losb of foliage, which should be guarded
against. You can feed liberally as soon
as the flower beads appear, alternating
liquid stimulants with a surfacing of
some well concentrated chemical fertil-
izer. It is a little early yet to start your

plants for Memorial day, but it would be
well to overhaul them. Top-dress where
this will suflSce. Repot where necessary,
and place in a cool house until you can
spare room in a warmer division for
them. If you have forgotten to put in
any cuttings, there is still time to do so.
Select them from plants which are not
flowering freely and which would not,
therefore, be very salable.

Bouvardias.

The flowering season for bouvardias
is ended and, if stock for another sea-
son is wanted, root cuttings should be
placed in a warm propagating bench at
once. Use the thicker portions of roots
and cut these a fourth to half an inch
long. Keep well watered and in two or
three weeks some of the little shoots will
appear. Wait until they are making
young roots before you lift and pot them.

agates better from soft-wood cuttings
than the other varieties, but is also eas-
ily increased from portions of roots.

Gardenias.

Gardenias benched in early summer
will be yielding a nice crop of flowers
now, if soil and other conditions are
right. If there is some bottom heat, all
the better. The plants seem to appre-
ciate some warmth at the roots in win-
ter, and where it can be afforded there
is less likelihood of the soil becoming
stagnant, with consequent yellowing of
the foliage. The soil must not be kept
too moist, or many flower buds will drop.
Let the compost dry out tolerably well
and then soak thoroughly. It will be
better to guard against liquid foods at
this season, but some soot or nitrate of
soda, the latter in weak doses, may be
given to darken the foliage. Use a
sprayer on the plants once in four or
five days, to keep the foliage clean and
mealy bug in check.

Plants in pots do well in some plung-
ing material, and if they can get a little
bottom heat, an the better. Cuttings will
root freely now in a warm propagating
bed. Keep them well watered until
rooted.

Jerusalem Cherries.

Jerusalem cherries, or Solanum Capsi-
castrum, to use tho botanical name, are
useful and inexpensively grown berried

week in May, in nursery rows, allowing
eighteen inches between the plants and
two to three feet between the rows.

Petunias.

If you carried over any old plants of
double petunias, you can probably get
some nice cuttings from these now, which
will root freely in a night temperature
of 55 to 60 degrees and can be grown
along into nice little plants for early
summer sales. Petunias, both double
and single, make excellent pot plants and
it is rather surprising to find them so
little grown for this purpose. They are
perhaps the most persistent flowering of
all garden annuals, and in addition to
their value for bedding purposes and pot
plants, are invaluable for window and
piazza boxes and vases. It is a trifle
early to make a sowing of these for use
about Memorial day, as once started they
grow very fast. The end of February is
a seasonable date to get in a good batch
of seed. There are now some fine strains
of petunias. The * ruffled Calif ornians
have mammoth flowers and a wide range
of colors. Double seed is offered, but
can only be expected to produce occa-
sional plants carrying double flowers.
Propagation by cuttings is necessary to
perpetuate these.

Coleus and Altemanthera.

subjects for early winter and Christmas
trade. If you want a lot of fine, bushy
plants, sow the seed now in pans or flats.
Mice are fond of it ; therefore, if you
have any around, keep a cat in the house
or they will surely make short work of
your seeds. The proper treatment for
these solanums is to pot off when large
enough to handle. Gradually harden off
and plant outdoors about the second

is the time to work up a good stock of
coleus and altemanthera. Get rid of the
old mealy bug decorated plants. You
can get all the future cuttings you are
likely to need from your young plants,
which will soon furnish plenty of tops.
While there is a diminished use for these
colored-leaf subjects, they are of such
easy culture as bedding plants that it is
always well to carry a stock of them.

The altemanthera is a necessity if you
have any carpet bedding to do.

Geraniums.

Do not allow your little bedding gera-
niums to become too much potbouud.
Give them a shift into 3-ineh or 3 14 -inch
pots and spread them out a little. Con-
tinue to put in cuttings from any old
plants you carried over. It will not be
long before you can get a nice lot of tops
from your little plants. Insert these
singly in 2-inch pots, containing sandy
loam. In a sand bed many will rot off".
In pots you should not lose over five per
cent if you care for their wants reli-
giously.

Bougainvillea Sanderiana.

There has been a fair demand for
Bougainvillea Sanderiana in the large
markets for a few years. While the
color is not exactly an Easter one, it has
beeii found that it sells well at that holi-
day. Plants which were well ripened by
exposure to sunshine last fall, and which
have been kept cool and rather dry dur-
ing the winter, may now be started in a
warm, moist house. Avoid much root
disturbance; a top dressing ought to suf-
fice. Syringe freely, but do not over-
water until the plants break freely. A
night temperature of 60 degrees will suf-
fice. Bougainvilleas, if kept dry while
in bloom, have surprising lasting prop-
erties. They are best propagated in
April or May, from half ripened wood,
although fully matured shoots can also
be used for the same purpose.

Salvia Splendens.

Many growers continue to carry over
stock plants of Salvia splendens. These
plants take up room which might be
utilized more prefitably. We have al-
ways failed to see any particular advan-
take in rooting cuttings of this salvia.
The plants are less vigorous than seed-
lings. They may bloom a little earlier,
but that is no special advantage, as the
value of S. splendens lies in its fall-
flowering properties. It is much too
early to sow seeds yet, unless they are
wanted two to three feet high at bed-
ding-out time. The end of March will
give plants big enough for the most fas-
tidious. Where the cutting method of
propagation is preferred, it would be
well to insert a batch in the sand. Tops
can be taken from these later.

Easter Shrubs.

While it is still a little early to start
forcing any Easter shrubs, it would be
well to have all potted up where this
operation has been neglected and have
them ready to house at any time. This
applies to Azalea mollis, Staphylea Col-
chica, lilacs, prunus, pyrus, rhododen-
drons, Crataegus and others of the gen-
eral line of lorcing shrubs. Genistas
started now in a cool house will come
along in season, as will Azalea Indica.
If the latter promises to be late, it will
be easy to do a little forcing near Easter.

Dutdi Hyacinths.

There is no special advantage in forc-
ing pots and pans of Dutch hyacinths
into flower very early. They always sell
better toward spring. Of course, if you
want these for Easter, it is much too
early to house them, but probably you
may have a retail trade calling for a few
pans each week. In this case, as the
shoots should now be well advanced and
the plants well rooted, bring a few into
heat weekly. If they are not sprouted
three inches, better place them in the

dark a few days to draw them up a
little. This may also be effected by in-
verting a small flower pot over the shoot,
with the hole stopped up. Use care, in
watering, not to pour it indiscriminately
over the shoots, or it may cause the buds
or the tender spike to decay. Hyacinths
are better grown without hard forcing;
48 to 50 degrees at night will give
stocky plants, while 60 to 65 degrees
will produce spindling ones.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses.

To be seasonable for Easter, hybrid
perpetual roses should now be breaking
freely in a cool house. It is unwise to
start them in over 45 degrees at night.
Later, as the growth develops, 10 degrees
more may be given. Guard against cold
drafts, which would quickly give mildew
a footing. Do not syringe overhead ex-
cept on bright days and when you are
sure the foliage will be quite dry before
sunset. It is too late now to start hy-
brid perpetual or rambler roses and have
them in flower for Easter.

HCUS ELASTICA.

If you have a number of large but
somewhat ungainly rubber plants, which
will furnish good cuttings, the present is
a good time to increase your stock. While
rubber plants may be rooted in a brisk
bottom heat in a mixture of sand and
chopped sphagnum, a better way to se-
cure good plants is by the ringing proc-
ess. This, in brief, consists of making
a circular or slanting cut between a
couple of eyes, about halfway through
the shoot. The cut is to be kept open
with a piece of charcoal or wood. Then
tie a handful of moss around this in-
cision. Bind it firmly and keep constant-
ly moist. When roots are being pushed
through the moss it is time to sever the
tops and pot them. A warm, moist at-
mosphere will assist root formation and
is also necessary for the young plants
until they become established.

PANDANUS VEITCHIL

Pandanus Veitchii is one of the very
best decorative plants and never seems
to be iw oversupply. In spite of predic-
tions that the new P. Sanderi would dis-
place it, the more recent introduction
has failed to catch on, to use a popular
phrase, as well as the older variety.
While firing is heavy and a good, steady
bottom heat is at command, is an ideal
time to root as many of the side shoots
or suckers as can be obtained. Many of

the lower ones will be found to have
a fragment of root attached. These
will speedily grow into salable plants.
Give the propagating bed a good soak-
ing of water at least once a day. If
your sand is rather coarse, two waterings
may be needed.

Spanish iris will now require somo
liquid manure once a week. Do not try
too hard forcing on it. Fifty degrees
at ' night is high enough for safety.

CARNATION NOTES.— EAST.

Selection of Cuttings.

During the month of February the
most favorable conditions for propaga-
tion obtain; therefore no effort should be
spared to get as large batches as possible
of the leading sorts you intend growing.
This does not mean, however, that the
cutting bench should be overcrowded with
cuttings, taken indiscriminately.

In caring for a batch of plants from
benching to the present time, one cannot
have failed to notice certain points of
superiority which some have over others.
Keep an eye on those which became es-
tablished quickly without appreciable loss
of foliage, also those which early gave
long, stout stems, and from their number
choose those possessing vigor, sturdy
habit and desirable blooming qualities,
from which to select cuttings for next
year's stock.

Of course, under this method it is not
possible to increase one 's stock as rapidly
as when cuttings are taken promiscuously,
but it is shortsighted policy to sacrifice
quality for quantity. When a grower has
but a few plants of a variety very much
desired, the disposition is to overpropa-
gate — a practice which has worked an in-
justice to more than one sterling variety.

High Pressure Propagation.

Remember, we cannot get all there is in
a variety during one season. It is better
to have bought not less than 2.50 plants or
to wait another year, but this is a sub-
ject to be treated more freely in advice
as to purchasing new sorts. Meanwhile
steer clear of high pressure propagation.

Some growers claim to take no cuttings
from plants on which splits have ap-
peared, but as the bursting of calyxes is
not a constitutional disease, I can see no
ground for making this an invariable
rule. It is true that certain varieties
are more inclined to split than others,
and if weather conditions are such at
propagating time that this trouble ap-
pears in spite of proper treatment, I
would not hesitate to employ cuttings
from these plants, provided, of course,
that they had under normal conditions
given good blooms. The statement that
some particular sort "never bursts its
calyx" must be taken with a grain of
salt.

While, as before stated, it is desirable
to propagate in large batches, it is not
good policy to include undersized cut-
tings. Better allow them to remain on
the parent plant another week. It may
be thought that small deficiencies in size,
health and general make-up will be out-
grown in the field, but at housing time
the difference will usually be even more
apparent. Geo. S. Osborn.

RYE SOIL FOR CARNATIONS.

I have a piece of ground with rye.
I think of plowing this under when it
gets four to six inches high, which will
l)e about April 1 to 10 with us. Then
I would add some well rotted manure
and about a month later plant out my
young carnations for the summer. Will
this be suitable preparation, or will the
rye plowed under in the spring be in-
iurious to the carnations in causing stem-
rot? R. E. G.

I would be a little afraid to plant on
the ground that stands in rye now on
account of the danger of stem-rot, unless
tlie rye is well rotted before you plant
and that could hardly be expected one
month after it is turned under. If you
can possibly plant on other ground, I
would advise you to do so this year, and,
to get this ground in still better shape
for the following year, sow it down in red
clover or cowpeas this spring and turn
them under too, leaving the ground rough
and fully exposed to the weather next
winter. There should be no danger from
stem-rot or from rust by that time and
the soil should be in splendid mechanical
condition. A. F. J. B.

THE EL PASO CARNATION CO.

The El Paso Carnation Co., of El Paso,
111., is now in its second season. Three
liouses, each 30x100, were built in 1906,
and in 1907 four were constructed, two
of them 30x100 and the other two 12x66,
The houses are six feet out of the
ground, on 2-inch iron posts in three feet
of concrete. One house is in rosea and

smilax. Two houses are in carnations, in-
cluding two benches of Lawson, • two
benches of Bountiful, two of Queen, two
of Enchantress, one of red varieties and
one of assorted varieties, such as White
Perfection, Aristocrat and Daybreak
Lawson. Two large houses are in let-
tuce and will next season be used for
carnations also. The two smaller houses,
or lean-to's, are for ferns and propagat-
ing.

Steam is furnished by two forty horse-
power boilers. The work-room is 14x93,
with a concrete floor. All walks are
macadamized with fine crushed stone.
The coal is unloaded from cars into the
bins.

A fine business is done in funeral work
and cut flowers. Part of the flowers go
to Chicago and the rest are used for the
local trade or shipped to various towns.
The establishment is strictly up-to-date
in equipment and in methods of doing
business, and visiting florists say that the
plant is one of the most complete of its
size they ever inspected. The quality of
the stock is fine and, with a doubled car-
nation capacity next season, there will
be about 14,000 carnation plants in the
benches, including Lawson-Enchantress,
Enchantress, White Perfection, Victory,
Pink Lawson and Aristocrat. In roses
the varieties grown are Killarney, Rich-
mond, Perle, Bride, Maid and Chatenay.

have a big stock of bedding plants and
are anticipating a bumper season.

We are in the carnation belt, and what
is needed most in our valley is a carna-
tion with the color of Joost but with bet-
ter habits; not a fancy, but a good gen-
eral purpose pink. We have no doubt
there are a number of seedlings of this
scarce color grown by the originators
that would fill this long-felt want, if in-
troduced. RoNEY Bros.

SOIL FOR CARNATIONS.

Would soil out of new land be suit-
able for carnations? I have solid benches
in my greenhouse. They are on the
ground. F. J.

You do not say whether your soil is
heavy or light; I presume the latter. If
mixed with rotted manure, with some bone
meal added in the early spring, it should
grow good carnations. If it has some fiber
to it to give it body, it will be preferable
to soil lacking it. I have seen carna-
tions grown well in sandy soil, meadow
muck and a retentive clayey loam, and
no doubt your soil is not one of the
poorest types. C. W.

stock of which he is distributing in the
trade this season. It is named Neil
Campbell and is deep orange yellow. The
flowers are of good size and said to be
freely produced. It belongs in the pur-
ple-leaved section and Mr. Eisele con-
siders it a variety of special merit be-
cause of the combination of color in
flower and foliage.

THE DEATH ROLL.

Charles Foreman.

Charles Foreman, of Louisiana, Mo.,
was killed in the early morning of Feb-
ruary 8 by the falling of a chimney dur-
ing the burning of his greenhouses. At
the same time his brother, George Fore-
man, was severely injured and seems
likely to lose the sight of both eyes if he
recovers. Several members of the local
fire department were also hurt.

Mr. Foreman's establishment was at
221 North Ninth street and the fire ap-
pears to have originated from a defect
in the boiler-room, for the structure was
in flames when the fire was discovered.
The greenhouses were pretty much de-
stroyed.

Charles R. Was:ner.

Charles R. Wagner died at his home
in Portsmouth, O., February 2, at an ad-
vanced age. He had been ill for a long
time and his death was not unexpected.

Mr. Wagner was born in Germany. He
had made flowers his life's study and
was the pioneer of the florists' business
in Portsmouth. At one time he con-
ducted a greenhouse in Tracy park. The
beautiful display of flowers around the
soldiers' monument in Greenlawn is a
testimony to his skill. He was a wid-
ower, but is survived by two sons and
one daughter.

Wm* J. Landers.

Telegraphic reports from Santa Bar-
bara, Cal., tell of the death of Wm. J.
Landers, of San Leandro, Cal. Mr. Lan-
ders was one of the owners of the Cali-
fornia Nursery Co., at Niles, Cal., and
for years had been prominently con-
nected with many large Pacific coast en-
terprises. He is survived by a widow
and four children. G.

J. B. Heiss.

The trade at Dayton, O., turned out to
a man February 3 for the funeral of
J. B. Heiss, who dropped dead Janu-
ary 31. The Dayton Florists' Club sent
a large cross and many of its members
sent personal tokens of sympathy.

Mr. Heiss was 51 years of age, coming
to this country from Frankfort, Germany,
about twenty-five years ago. For many
years he was widely known as a grower
of palms for the wholesale trade, but
the local demand at Dayton developed
so fast that he found it profitable to
turn his glass into stock for retailing.
When the Society of American Florists
was to be entertained at Dayton, the
trade there turned to Mr. Heiss for lead-
ership and he became the first president
of the Dayton Florists' Club. It was
largely due to his indefatigable energy
that the Dayton convention went on
record as one of the most successful in
the history of the society.

Numa R. Cook.

Numa Reid Cook, who had lately
been employed by the Green Floral &
Nursery Co., at Dallas, Tex., died at
the home of his sister, Mrs. G. S. Boren,
at Pomona, N. C, January 20, 1908.

The Range From Which Peter Reinberg, ChicagOt Cut His Famous January Crop of Beauties.— James Novak^ Grower.

Mr. Cook was born June 25, 1878, at
Friendship, N. C. After attending the
public schools, he took a course at the
A. & M. College, Ealeigh, N. C, and
then entered the employment of the J.
Van Lindley Nursery Co., of Pomona,
N. C, where he had his first experience
in the growing of cut flowers. He after-
ward held positions with florists in Paw-
tucket, E. I.; Norfolk, Va. ; Chester,
Pa.; Norwalk, Conn.; Lewiston, Me., and
finally with the Green Floral & Nursery
Co., as already stated. Mr. Cook was
a young man of honor and ability and
was much loved by his people at home
and by his friends in the trade.

GLADIOLUS TACONIC

The accompanying illustration is of a
variety of gladiolus which we have named
Taconic, the stock of which has been
grown and increased in our fields during
the last few years, under field No. 605,
and by this number only is known to
many florists, several seedsmen and many
other visitors to Meadowvale Farm, who
have particularly noticed and admired
this variety. The description is as fol-
lows: Bright, lively pink, flecked and
striped with shades of the same color,
the petals lightening to the faintest blush
in the throat. The markings on the
lower petals are deep crimson, running
into a thin strip of pale lemon yellow.
Plant vigorous and flowers large, ten to
twelve being in bloom at the same time.

Under ordinary garden cultivation it
attains a height of from four and a half
to five feet. It is one of the most beau-
tiful and artistic of any variety of the
same color which it has been my pleasure
to see. Arthur Cowee.

WHY NOT A GLADIOLUS SOQETY?

Referring to the article in the Review
of January 23, page 10, regarding gla-
dioli with ruffled or fluted petals, permit
me to say, that neither this trait nor
that of the flowers being uniformly dis-
tributed around the spike is new to
Meadowvale Farm. I have noticed the
ruffled or fluted flower in many of Groff 's
hybrids, but never considered them of
sufficient importance to call them novel-
ties. The petals of the old variety, Eu-
gene Scribe, are more or less fluted, as
■well as some seedlings from this variety.

The saucer-shaped flower, with all of
the petals t)f about the same propor-
tions, may be seen in my fields by thou-
sands, almost from the beginning to the
«nd of the blooming season, measuring
anywhere from three to six inches in
diameter. Spikes with dark colored

flowers on one side and light colored on
the other appear in our fields every
season, but these I consider freaks. I
have also a variety which develops all of
the bloom in a bunch at the top of the
spike. This variety, however, is of weak

Gladiolus Taconic

constitution and it is therefore impossi-
ble to increase the stock.

About the only thing in the gladiolus
line which we do not grow here is the
"ever-blooming" and the "sweet-
scented" varieties. Has any one yet
produced either of the above?

Would it not be a good plan to form

a gladiolus society, having for its aim
the further popularization of this already
well known flower (, <)> t^6 elimination of
a lot of worthless named varieties and
the perfecting of a plan whereby the
same variety would not be sold under
different names, in different or the same
localities? In fact, there are many im-
portant points which could be taken up
by such an organization and adjusted to
the mutual interest of growers, seedsmen
and consumers. The rose, carnation,
dahlia and chrysanthemum growers have
their societies; why not the gladiolus
growers as well. Brother Gladiolus Spe-
cialists? Abthur Cowee.

TAB ON THE TELEGRAMS.

Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, has
introduced a bill in the senate to amend
the Interstate Commerce Act so as to
require that the telegraph companies
shall cause to appear upon the addres-
see's copy of every telegram, "the name
of the place where such telegram origi-
nated, the month, day of the month, and
the hour and minute of the day on which
it was accepted for transmission, and
there shall also appear plainly and accu-
rately upon every copy of such telegram
the month, day of the month, and hour
and minute of the day on which it was
received for delivery; and after every
such telegram shall have, been delivered
there shall be plainly and accurately
noted upon every copy of every such
telegram filed in the office where it has
been received for delivery the month,
the day of the month, the hoy and min-
ute of the day such message was deliv-
ered. The original of every such tele-
gram shall be kept on file for six years
after its acceptance for transmission in
the office where it shall originate, and a
copy of such telegram shall be kept on
file for six years in the office where it
shall be received for delivery. In each
office telegrams received for transmission
and copies of telegrams received for de-
livery shall be separately filed in chrono-
logical order and shall be separately in-
dexed so as to show the name of the
sender of each telegram and the name
of the person to whom the telegram was
addressed. ' '

Florists are large users of the tele-
graph and the frequent delay in delivery
is the cause of much vexation and money
loss. Write your senator and congress-
man urging the passage of Senator La
Follette 's bill.

DAHLIA SPORT.

I have a sport of Dahlia Souvenir
de Gustav Douzon in which the flower is
of the same style as the original, but is
white with a faint trace of red in the
throat of each petal.

I would like to know if it is common
for this variety to throw flowers of this
kind in other localities.

This flower caused a sensation at the

Indianapolis dahlia show last season, at-
tracting more attention than any other
flower in the show. By selecting I have
secured about ninety per cent true from
roots, and in time hope to entirely elim-
inate the red flowers. I am also grow-
ing seed from this sport in the hope
of securing something good.

Special Premium Offers.

The following supplementary list of
special premium offers has been re-
ceived :

John Breitmeyer's Sons, Detroit,
Mich., offer $25 first, $15 second, for
best fifty blooms La Detroit rose.

Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa.,
offers $25 cash, premium not yet speci-
fied.

F. Dorner & Sons Co., La Fayette,
Ind., offers $12 first, $8 second, $5 third,
for best fifty blooms Winona carnation.

Samuel Murray, Kansas City, Mo.,
offers $50 for best six plants Cibotium
Schiedei, not over 10-inch pots.

John Young, New York, offers $50
cash, premium not yet specified.

W. N. EUDD,
Chairman Premium Committee.

Premifim List.

The premium list for the national
flower show is now in press and will soon
be ready for mailing. Many changes
have been made in the list originally pub-
lished in the trade papers and it has been
largely increased.

It is believed that the complete list
carries the largest amount in premiums,
medals, cups and trophies ever offered
at any floricultural exhibition at any
time. Suggestions for premiums have
been made, with a revision of all or
parts of the list, by about 100 indi-
viduals and firms, and it is hoped that
in the form in which it will appear all
classes of exhibitors will be found to be
amply provided for.

It should be noted that the suggestions
made to the committee, if all had been
carried out, would have required over
five times the large sum of money which
was available. This condition, of course,
made it necessary to strike out many de-
sirable suggestions. All suggestions,
however, were given equal consideration
on their merit, without regard to the
names of the persons making them.

Copies of the list may be obtained
on application to J. H. Burdett, Secre-
tary, 1411 First National Bank build-
ing, Chicago. W. N. Rudd,

Chairman Premium Committee.

Kalamazoo, Mich. — H. A. Fisher, who
has been conducting a retail store here
for a year or more, has opened a sec-
ond store at Battle Creek.

Fargo, N. D. — Plans are being pre-
pared for three greenhouses, each 20x60,

gating purposes and another for experi-
mental purposes.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The feature of the market is the un-
precedented weakness in the carnation de-
partment. Never within the memory of
the oldest wholesaler have carnations of
such fine quality found so weak a mar-
ket in February. The supply is the
heaviest of the season, practically all
growers having come in crop at once, and
the quality is superlatively fine. Taking
the market as a whole, no better carna-
tions ever were offered than are now to
be had in quantity. While some small
lots of selected stock are bringing fair
prices, it is impossible to clean up
through the ordinary channels and thou-
sand-lot s^les are made to the stores
which hold special sales, the price being
made in accordance with the buyer's
ability to handle stock, rather than in
accordance with the quality or usual
value. Of course, there is an attempt

to hold the best stock back for a lit-
tle extra price, but February 11 $20
bought 1,000 of the best carnations in
this market, and $50 bought 5,000 of
good stock. The following day was a
little better and the wholesalers hope the
worst is over.

Up to February 11 the rose market
was fairly strong, in contrast to the
carnation market. There are no large
crops of Beauties and prices are firm,
but other roses are now abundant and
there is some splendid stock to be had
in all varieties, at concessions on last
week's prices. There continues to be
some extra call for white for funeral
work, but Bride now is equal to all
demands. It will ease up the call for
Easter lilies, it recently having been im-
possible to find lilies for all late orders.

Bulb stock is in little better shape than
carnations. The counters are full of
tulips, daffodils and Paper Whites, and
valley actually goes to waste. Freesia
also is abufldant. All these are sold

at prices less than was asked last year.
The violets met with slow sale up to
February 12, but just before Valentine's
day there was a slight appreciation in
value because of the many orders for
large quantities booked for delivery Val-
entine's day. The quality is hardly up
to standard for this season of the year.
E. E. Pieser predicts that ferns will
be higher in price this spring and poorer
in quality than usual in the last months
of the season. The market for greens
has been excellent all through the season
to date.

Institute for Rose Show.

The Florists ' Club 's committee charged
with the arrangements for the approach-
ing meeting of the American Rose So-
ciety has closed an arrangement with the
Art Institute, whereby the exhibition ^ill
be held in Blackstone hall at the Art
Institute. This is the hall once used
for a November flower show. It is
60x208 feet and thirty-four feet high.

It -will be cleared of all save the larger
pieces of statuary and will make an ideal
exhibition room. The business meetings
of the society will be held in the beauti-
ful little theater known as Fullerton hall,
in the Art Institute.

The dates for the meeting are March
25 to 27. Wednesday is a free day at
the Art Institute, but on Thursday and
Friday 25 cents admission is charged.
For the purposes of the rose show an
evening admission of 50 cents will be
charged.

It is planned that the Florists' Club
shall give a banquet to the out-of-town
members of the American Rose Society
one evening during the convention.

Various Notes.

The market generally overlooked the
fact that "Wednesday, February 12, is
a legal holiday, with only one mail de-
livery. Right now is a good time to
call attention to the fact that there will
be only one delivery of mail February
22, which is Washington's birthday, and
those whose orders are to be shipped that
night should use the telegraph.

The A. L, Randall Co. says that so
many of its customers have asked to
be supplied with glass that they con-
template making glass a regular feature
of the business in the future.

Scheiden & Schoos have been using
shredded cattle manure at their Evanston
greenhouses for the last two years. They
think it is better than any other pro-
curable fertilizer.

W. L. Palinsky says the cut flower
trade is all right, but that plant business
is a little slow.

John J. Kruchten is receiving some
of the finest Paper Whites ever seen

in this market, but he says the retailers
stand and look at them a long while be-
fore they can make up their minds to pay
3 cents for them.

Louis Coatsworth spent Sunday at New
Castle. He says the Benthey-Coatsworth
Co. will soon have the heaviest crop of
roses in its history.

The Atlas block, where so many whole-
salers center, is being painted and the
priming coat was said to be specially
fitting to the condition of the carnation
market. It was bright yellow.

The Kennicott Bros, received the first
of the annual crop of Klehm's Novelty
tulip February 7. The stock is as good
as ever, although bulb forcers in gen-
eral report much dissatisfaction vnth the
quality of tulips this year. Some of the
largest growers say they have experi-
enced a greater loss than ever before
through bad bulbs having been delivered.

N. J. Wietor says that his firm is well
pleased with the Winsor carnation. It
haying been grown under glass all sum-
mer at their place, they got an early
cut and good stems. They will drop
Robert Craig next year, making Victory
their dependence for red. At this place
no white carnation ever has been able
to displace White Cloud as a money
maker,

John Sinner says that the principal
call is for white carnations and says
the fact that the buyers will not take
colors, even when white is not available,
goes to show that about all the retailers
are doing is funeral work.

G. H. Pieser, president of the Kenni-
cott Bros. Co., fell on the ice Sunday
evening and was confined to his home.

L. Baumann & Co. report collections
slow. This is specially important to

them, because in 1907 they paid duty
of approximately $40,000, which is cash
before the goods are taken from the
customs house.

C. M. Dickinson went home Saturday
evening to spend several days on the sick
list.

George Reinberg started a lot of East-
er lilies in his orchid house and had a
fine crop last week.

Bassett & Washburn say that Lin-
coln's birthday, February 12, brought
a fine call for red roses, for dinner cele-
brations, etc.

John Poehlmann says he looks for the
tremendously heavy crop of carnations
to pass off with practically all growers
within two or three weeks, and to be
followed by another comparative short-
age. C. N. Thomas, of Randall's, agrees
with him.

Leonard Kill says that at Peter Rein-
berg's there is no complaint of dull
business, although they are not making
the new record they had hoped to es-
tablish. Mr. KUl thinks that, consid-
ering the state of general trade in Chi-
cago, the florists may congratulate them-
selves that flowers are no longer a luxury,
but a prime necessity.

The Florists' Club will meet at Han-
del hall tonight, February 13.

At E. C. Amling's they say sweet peas
are selling as well as anything.

At Winterson's John Degnan is deep
in the work of getting out a spring cata-
logue.

A. H. Budlong says that one house at
the J. A. Budlong establishment will be
planted to Killamey rose this spring.

The current week of last year was one
of the best of the season. It does not
promise to make a favorable comparison,

but the wholesalers hope to make it up in
March.

Mrs. E. H. Hunt has returned from a
visit of four weeks at Akron and Cleve-
land.

Zech & Mann say that business was
excellent last week, with the single ex-
ception of Wednesday.

Vaughan & Sperry reported Febru-
ary 10 that they had more advance orders
booked for violets for Valentine's day
than they had at Christmas. Practically
all the retailers are putting forth extra
efforts for Valentine's day business.

H. A. Fisher, well known in this mar-
ket, who has had a flower store at Kala-
mazoo for a year or more, opened a
second store at Battle Creek last week.

C. W. McKellar is handling Florida
asparagus in quantity.

At Evanston, E. F. Gloede is building
another greenhouse.

Among the callers this week were: A.
F. Fitzgerald, of the Morehead Mfg. Co.,
Detroit; H. V. Hunkel, of Holton &
Hunkel, Milwaukee; Henry Wenberg, Ba-
tavia, HI.; Andrew Peterson, Hoopeston,
HI.; S. E. Lawrence, Arrowsmith, HI.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Michigan was in the hands of a heavy
blizzard nearly all of last week and De-
troit had its share of the snow. The
suburban lines were all tied up for a
time and the steam roads were more or
less behind time. Out-of-town shipments
were naturally delayed in many cases,
inconveniencing some of the florists con-
siderably.

Much is expected of Valentine's day.
Some of the more wide-awake florists
have most appropriate window decora-
tions.

The Junior hop at Ann Arbor created
a big demand for violets and orchids
last week, and it was necessary to do
some figuring to make both ends meet
for Valentine's day.

Boses are hardly equal to the demand.
Carnations, especially the lighter shades,
are too plentiful and many are being
disposed of at slaughter-sale prices.
Bulbous stock is quite plentiful; in fact,

too much so. Considerable southern smi-
lax is being used for decorating.

Various Notes.

About the only flower store that is
not open Sundays is Murray T. Pat-
terson's. He is well pleased with busi-
ness up to date for 1908. January busi-
ness was ahead of last year.

W. B. Brown had the decorations at
Ann Arbor for the "J" hop. This is
the society event of the season at the
lively college town. Mr. Brown has been
doing this job for a number of years.

J. F. Sullivan is a stranger in the
city. He has been confined to his home
since the first of the year. Although
not sick in bed, he feels weak as the
result of a general breakdown in health.

The building at 233 Woodward avenue
will in all probability be torn down about
the first of the month. This means that
Mrs. A. P. Cox, who bought out George
Leadley some time ago, will be compelled
to move again. The lawsuit between Mrs,
Cox and Mr. Leadley is still unsettled.
The case is now in the hands of Judgj»

Murphy, who is taking his time about
rendering a decision.

B. Schroeter sent out a letter to his
many undertaker customers the first of
the year, the substance of which was as
follows: "We are obliged to make a
eliglit advance in the charge for the
rental of palms. For the balance of the
cold weather our price for renting palms
will be as follows: Per dozen, $7.50;
per half dozen, $4. We will not deliver
less than $4 worth of plants." In doing
this Mr. Schroeter raised the price just
fifty per cent. In looking over his books
for January and the first part of Feb-
ruary he finds he still has the same num-
ber of undertakers, with seemingly just
as many funerals as before. If all the
other florists would follow suit, the rent-
ing of palms could be put on a paying
basis.

diaries Warncke slipped on the side-
walk in front of the office of the De-
troit Lumber Co., February 4, and broke
his leg at the ankle. In falling he tried
to save himself and in doing so wrenched
his back. As it was late in the day,
when few people were about, he lay ex-
posed to the cold for some time. He is
suffering much pain from both the fall
and exposure.

Mr. Scribner is again back in harness,
but he still feels none too well.

February 5 was the date of the club's
regular meeting, but only a few mem-
bers showed up, so the meeting was not
called to order.

Work has been commenced on a new
building for the Lohrman Seed Co. at
the intersection of Randolph street and
Gratiot avenue. This is but a few steps
from the firm's present location.

Frank Danzer, Breitmeyer's decorator

and window trimmer, met with a sad ac-
cident that will lay him up for some
time. He slipped on a stone step in
front of the Palms apartments and in
falling broke his collar bone in two
places.

E. Ferrand & Sons are sending in some
fine white lilac for the local market.
This lilac is forced at their nursery
in Oakland county.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Trade does not seem to get much
life into it, although in comparison with
those iu other lines of business florists
do not seem to be getting much the
worst of it.

The unusual number of deaths has
kept the funeral work going so that
the dullness is not so noticeable and
stock is being used up. However, you
will find everyone is looking for some-
thing cheap.

Qub Meeting.

The Pittsburg Florists' Club held its
regular monthly meeting February 4, in
the store of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.
It was the most enthusiastic meeting
ever held by the club. Over 100 mem-
bers wore present. It was a competitive
exhibition and the display would have
done credit to a real flower show. The
club is now getting in shape for some-
thing of this kind next season.

It was election night, but there was

only one nomination for each office. Mr.
Jones called the new president, Fred
Burki, to the chair, and after a few
modest and well chosen remarks Mr.
Burki took charge of the business of the
club. Several new members were elected
and about twenty new names were pro-
posed.

- The committee, T. P. Langhans and
Charles Crall, who looked after the in-
terests of the club at Washington, gave a
report of their trip and told how near
they came to being surprised by a bluflf.
They only hoped to get the convention
for 1910 and almost secured it for 1909,
but were glad of an opportunity to do
the western boys a good turn and help
to make the vote unanimous for Indian-
apolis. They now feel that 1910 is al-
most assured to Pittsburg. This report
was received with great enthusiasm, and
if only a part of this enthusiasm can be
worked up at the time of the convention,
visitors to this city will be more than
repaid for their visit. Already some of
the members have outlines of entertain-
ment sketched out that look good to me.
Knowing that the officers of the club
will look after business, they are arrang-
ing the social matters.

The subject was carnations, and the
following list of exhibits, all up-to-date
show grade, will prove the interest taken.
Among the commercial exhibitors were:

John E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa., Imperial,
Pink Imperial, John E. Haines.

J. L. Wyland, De Haven, Pa., fifty each of
Enchantress, Rose-pink Enchantress, White Per-
fection, Pink Lawson.

Price, gardener for Mrs. J. B. Laughlin.

"While ^;he judges, John.Murchie and
Walter Breitenstein, went to work, other
business was taken up. The private gar-
deners' committee presented a provisional
schedule for the monthly exhibitions,
which was laid over for future considera-
tion.

The committee was notified to secure a
suitable meeting place, as the club has
outgrown the old hall.

Mr. Smith, grower for A. Lorch, gave

a talk on fumigating with hydrocyanic
acid gas.

Mr. Murchie and Mr. Breitenstein,
judges, then handed in the following de-
cisions :

Dark pink carnation — Albert Lorch first, with
Pink Lawson; F. H. Westhoff second, with
Aristocrat.

Light pink — Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co.
first, with Enchantress; J. L. Wyland second,

Pink — Pittsburg Rose & Carnation t'o.^rst.

Among private gardeners, Mr. Jenkinson, gar-
dener for Mr. Peacock, won first, with twenty-
five Enchantress; Charles Madsen, gardener for
R. H. Boggs, second, with twenty-five assorted
carnations.

While there was a great deal of en-
thusiasm, all were satisfied with the de-
cision.

Various Notes.

H. L. Blind & Bros, have purchased
a property, 75x200 feet, fronting on
Centre avenue, E. E., opposite Christ

church. Here they are erecting a store
and a large greenhouse for decorative
stock and expect to be open for busi-
ness April 1. They will close their south
side store about that time, and by moving
out into the better residence neighbor-
hood they expect to make a bid for
more of the east end trade. The firm
is only five years old, but pushing rap-
idly to the front.

Breitenstein & Flemm are following the
example of many of the other business
men of this city and will change their lo-
cation about May 1. As they have not
closed their new lease, they have not an-
nounced the location.

The extremely cold weather has caused
losses to several of the florists. One
firm had a load of palms frozen. An-
other had a load and a wagon burned up,
the wagon catching fire from the oil stove
used for heating. Hoo-Hoo.

I AM sold out of gladiolus bulbs. The
kittle advertisement in the Review was a
good investment. — Frank Klotz, Bowl-

Cleveland.

The Market

There has been a decided falling off
in the movement of all kinds of flowers.
Boses are short in supply and were the
only stock that was not sold at a sacri-
fice. Carnations, bulbous stock, sweet
peas, valley, and Romans all went slowly,
having to be forced on the buyers. Vio-
lets, which have sold up clean in this
market up to this time, took a turn for
the worse, it being impossible to move
them all, even at reduced prices.

Carnation Show.

The carnation show at the Florists'
Club was in every way a great success.
Some fine shipments were received from
outside exhibitors, among which was a
fine vase of Afterglow from R. Witter-
staetter, of Cincinnati. The Chicago Car-
nation Co., Joliet, showed fine vases of
Aristocrat and Andrew Carnegie, all ar-
riving in good condition. Heepe's Sons,
of Akron, O., and The Lanborn Floral
Co., of Alliance, both staged tables of
fine stock. The judges were W. Stade,
John Kelly and George Bate. They made
the following report:

The Lanbom Floral Co. shows a fine
table of carnations, consisting of En-
chantress, White Perfection, The Belle,
Harlowarden and Lady Bountiful; its
White Perfection being the finest white
carnation on exhibition, for which it is
given a certificate of merit.

Charles Bartels shows a table of car-
nations worthy of special mention, his
Lawson being the finest of this variety
on exhibition. The light pink sport of
Lawson is well worthy of close atten-

tion. Mr, Bartels is given a certificate
of merit on his vase of Enchantress,
which are especially fine.

B. Witterstaetter, of Cincinnati, re-
ceives a certificate of merit on his vase
of Afterglow, being the finest vase of
carnations staged of any color.

Carl Hagenburger shows a vase of lilac,
also a bunch of Princess of Wales vio-
lets that show the highest of culture.

The Chicago Carnation Co. shows vases
of Andrew Carnegie and Aristocrat that
receive special mention for their fine
culture.

The vase of Brides and Maids shown
by Isaac Kennedy are the finest roses
seen in these parts and he is given a
certificate of merit on his new sport of
Bride.

Heepe's Sons, of Akron, show a table
of mixed carnations and receive special
mention for the highest of culture.

J. Merkle & Son show a fine table of
carnations. Those worthy of mention
are White Perfection, White Enchant-
ress and a vase of Beacon, for which
they are given a certificate of merit.

Roman Wasko exhibited a bunch of
Princess of Wales violets that show the
best of culture, for which he is awarded
a certificate of merit.

The F. R. Williams Co. staged a table
of fine carnations, consisting of Enchant-
ress, Rose-pink Enchantress, White En-
chantress, White Perfection, Robert
Craig and Beacon. A certificate of merit
is awarded them on a vase of sport of
Enchantress which shows a marked im-
provement in color over the parent.

Variotss Notes.

Mrs. Lincoln Brown has been doing

some fine wedding decorations of late.
One at the Colonial Club February 19 is
expected to be a beautiful affair, con-
sisting of lilies and Beauties.

F. R. Williams has been confined to
the house for a week with the, grippe.

Lars Anderson, of Rocky River, has
been sending in a fine cut of Enchantress.

The Ohio Cut Flower Co. is sending
in some good Brides and Maids, which
are used at its new retail store in the
Majestic theater.

Smith & Fetters have had some beau-
tiful window displays of spring flowers
in fancy baskets during the last week,
which are sure to stop the passer-by.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business is fairly good, but not what
one would call brisk; still there is a
demand for nearly all the stock that
comes in. Quite a lot of shipping orders
are received at tl^ wholesale bouses.
There has been a decided scarcity of
roses in all grades, though of Beauties
the supply is enough.

Work for the society folks is not any
too plentiful, as only small affairs are
going on. The retailers are making some
preparation for St. Valentine's day and
large advance orders are in for violets.
At the different wholesale markets Feb-
ruary 10, we found carnations plenti-
ful, but roses of all kinds scarce, with
white in great demand. There are plenty
of violets. Everything in the bulb stock
line is abundant. Tulips and Von Sions
sell well. There are plenty of Romans

Various Notes.

J. P. Metzler, who was with H. C.
2immer at Denver, Colo., is in the city.
Mr. Metzler was for the last few weeks
employed by the Foster Floral Co.

Superintendent George Ostertag, of the
local park department, has the entire
grounds of the City Hall park covered
with tea waste, which he gets from a
local chemical company in large lots.
This, he says, makes a great fertilizer
for the lawn and makes a better ap-
pearance than manure.

John B. Steinecke, of Old Orchard, is
sending to Smith & Co. some extra good
Enchantress carnations, also other vari-
eties of good quality.

There are' a great many grippe vic-
tims among our local trade, both in re-
tail and wholesale circles. In fact, there
are so many that space will hardly per-
mit me to mention all their names. As

yet, though, no serious cases have been
reported.

George Hecht, brother of C. D. Hecht,
will buUd two new greenhouses this sum-
mer at his place in Clayton, Mo.

It has been reported that a great deal
of greenhouse building will be done in
and around Kirkwood this summer. All
the local growers there have done well
this season with carnations, violets and
sweet peas. None of the growers there
has as yet taken to growing roses.

Among our local carnation growers
who should make excellent showing at the
club's carnation exhibition this week
are: John Steidle, Pierre Schneider, Wil-
liam Winter, F. W. Ude, Hugo Gross,
John Steinecke, W. J. Pilcher, A. Jab-
lonsky, J. W. Dunford and F. J. Fill-
more. All are cutting high grade stock
in all varieties.

It is reported that quite a delegation
of local florists from here will visit
Springfield, HI., next Tuesday, February
18, to attend the third annual conven-

tion of the Illinois State Florists' As-
sociation..

Emil Schray was made happy Febru-
ary 7, when the stork made its appear-
ance at his home and left him a daugh-
ter. Congratulations are now in order
among Mr. and Mrs. Schray 's large cir-
cle of friends in the trade.

Mr. Hibbert, of the Hibbert Floral Co.,
of De Soto, Mo., was a caller February
8, buying stock for orders he had booked
for this week.

The spring flower show, which is to be
given by the St. Louis Horticultural So-
ciety next month, promises to be as large
an affair as it was last year. The lo-
cation has as yet not been announced,
and it has been reported that the ex-
ecutive committee has decided to charge
admission this year. Last year the ad-
mission was free and the attendance was
large.

Dreer, Philadelphia; Arnold Ringier, ac-

Tfie Market.

The continuation of severe weather
has played havoc with the cut flower
business, which is in a worse condition
than for years at this season. The low
temperature has prevented the street
fakers plying their vocation. These peo-
ple handle a large quantity of flowers
and their absence as buyers is appreci-
ably felt. The cold weather has affected
the output of roses and these are sell-
ing better than other flowers. Brides and
Maids are going well and Beauties are
realizing good prices. Bichmond, Kil-
lamey, Chatenay and Wellesley are also
selling tolerably well. Of carnations it
must be said that the glut is one of the
worst ever seen during the winter sea-
son, and prices have come down with
a dull thud, a good many flowers being
sold as low as $10 per thousand, but
even at the low prices the demand is
unequal to the supply.

Violets are only selling moderately
well. Severely cold weather always hurts
the sale of these. Bulbous stock is in
heavy oversupply. Best quality sweet
peas are selling well, but there is but a

limited call for second grades. There
is a good supply of Harrisii and specio-
sum lilies, with a poor demand. Freesia
is selling poorly, as is lily of the valley.
Other flowers are meeting with a slow
sale, but it is hoped the congestion of
business will be short-lived.

A. H. Hews & Co.

A. H. Hews & Co., of Cambridge,
Mass., the world's largest makers of
flower pots, are now running their plant
to its full capacity, after a partial cur-
tailment last month, due to heavy ad-
ditions made to meet the increasing de-
mands for their goods. Two new boilers,
kilns, dynamo and special machinery for
preparing clay have been installed, until
today their output has been heavily in-
creased.

The firm has maintained a large ware-
house in Long Island City, but has now
opened a similar branch in Chicago to
facilitate the handling of the growing
western business.

Messrs. Hews & Co. have constantly in
mind the welfare and pleasure of their
employees and have provided for them
a recreation room, 25x35, with pool and
billiard tables, various games and read-
ing matter.

The outlook for a prosperous year is
bright and, from heavy advance orders
received, indications are that the plant
will be run to its full capacity to fill
orders from all parts of the country.

Various Notes.

Owing to all the halls of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society being rented
for the week during which the regular
meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club was to be held, a postponement of
carnation night to February 25 has been
found necessary. In addition to W. E.
Pierson, there will be quite a number
of others from a distance who will par-
ticipate in the discussion, including F.
B. Pierson and H. A. Jahn.

William Turner, of Oceanic, N. J., who
was the lecturer before the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society February 8,
gave an eminently practical talk on
greenhouse vegetables, lettuce, radishes,
beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and rhubarb
being principally dealt with. Among
those taking part in the resultant dis-
cussion were: W. W. Bawson, George
D. Moore, J. W. Duncan, James Wheel-
er, Wilfrid Wheeler and others.

Among additional special premiums to
be offered at the Park street market ex-
hibition February 29, will be a cup valued
at $25, from A. C. Zvolanek, for two
vases containing 200 spikes each of
Christmas Pink and Florence Denzer
sweet peas; $25 from James Wheeler for
the best new violet, and $6 and $4 from
F. E. Pierson Co. for twenty-five Winsor
carnations. The show of carnations will,
it is believed, be equal to that seen in
Washington at the convention, a good
many from a distance being promised.

ton delegation after the late Washington
convention, the carnations at Cottage
Gardens seemed to hold first place. The
big house of Beacon almost dazzled them.

Fire in the establishment of George H.
Arnold, Braintree, on the evening of
February 4, destroyed three greenhouses
containing vegetables and flowers. Dam-
age estimated at $5,000.

William Sim is well pleased with ad-
vance orders for his new violet, Boston.
His sweet peas are now of very fine qual-
ity. Of violets he anticipates a heavy
crop for Easter, having some 500 sashes
in coldframes, as well as his large ridge
and furrow house, which he hopes to be
able to retard until the middle of April,

F. J. Dolansky is starting to send in
his usual crop of sweet peas, which are
again of excellent quality.

Peirce Bros, are bringing in large
quantities of Lilium speciosum. Their
longiflorums for Easter are looking ex-
tremely well.

Duncan Finlayson is among those who

Waban Conservatories will add 300
feet to their big Beauty house the coming
season, which will make its dimensions

very good, considering weather and other
conditions.

E. Sutermeister is bringing in some
nice pots and pans of the pretty Tritonia
crocata to the market.

E. Holmes, of the Montrose Green-
houses, is bringing -in some extra fine
Bride, Bridesmaid and other roses to the
Park Street market.

Thomas Pegler is handling excellent
lots of pansies for W. C. Ward, whose
success with those under glass is well
known.

Windows which are always attractively
arranged with high grade flowers are
those of Penn, at 43 Bromtield street.
The violets here are noted for their splen-
did quality.

We are pleased to report J. F. Free,
of the Park Street market, as recover-
ing nicely from his recent accident.

A local concern is doing a consider-
able business in selling violet plants by
magazine advertising. A recent adver-
tisement reads as follows : " A fortune in
violets. Write for our free booklet and
learn how florists are making up to
$10,000 a year and over, growing violets
for market. You caj^ make big money
at home all winter by growing them in-
doors in pots and boxes and outside in a
coldbed. In big demand. Work for
everybody (both sexes). A few of our
plants in small beds pay big." A peru-

sal of a booklet issued makes interesting
reading. We are informed that with
the exception of a limited number of
large florists, violets are not raised to
any extent, also that the supply has never
equaled the demand, nor is it likely to
for many years. "Each plant will pro-
duce 100 blooms per season, the average
price of which is $1 per hundred whole-
sale. Corsage bouquets and those thrown
at actresses frequently cost $15 to $25.
Florists figure on $1 as the season's in-
come from each plant. This, of course,
is but one season's profits. Next year
your plants will bear again and the new
crowns formed last season will begin to
bud and blossom, giving you approxi-
mately twenty to thirty times as many

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market

Conditions in the cut flower market
are decidedly disappointing, the supply
exceeding the demand. White roses and
Asparagus plumosus are more sought
after than anything else on the list.
Forget-me-not has made its appearance
just in time for St. Valentine's day, but
there is hardly enough to give the buy-
ers much opportunity to show their ap-
preciation of this dainty flower, so ap-
propriate for the season.

The supply of bulbous flowers is large,
daffodils, tulips, freesia all being at their
best. Romans and Paper Whites can
still be had in quantity, but they are on
the wane. The variety of orchids has
been reinforced by pink Iselias, a pretty
addition.

The general effect of the present de-
pression in the market is felt most by
the poorer grades of flowers, which, ex-
cepting when useful for funeral work,
can only be sold at greatly reduced
prices. A word must be said of the
fine quality of sweet peas and violets
now coming into the city. The former
have stem, color and fragrance sufficient
to recommend them to the most fastidi-
ous buyers, while the cream of the vio-
lets, both in singles and doubles, would
be hard to excel.

Valley is entirely too plentiful. The
long and short grades of American Beau-
ties are in good supply, the medium
grade being difficult to obtain, as is
usual until the spring crop comes in.
Tea roses are a trifle lower in price than
a week ago, tl»«< poorer grades in colors
averaging lowe* prices than Bride. Car-
nations of fancy grade find a fair mar-
ket, the select and ordinary grades being
the laggards. Enchantress is the most
popular variety today, quantity consid-
ered.

Artistic Arrangements.

The most striking novelty seen here
in a long time is the window decora-
tion at the "Sign of the Rose," the
tasteful English shop of Charles Henry
Fox. The decoration is a Valentine 's day
dinner-table. The table is close to the
window, so as to be in full view from

the street. The most impressive feature
is- the transfer of the usual centerpiece
arrangement from the middle of the table
to one end, the idea being that the view
of the guests will not be impeded by the
flowers and foliage, and the place often
so difficult to fill opposite the hostess
is occupied by the flowers. This idea
will recommend itself especially where
there is only one member of the family
present. In the present arrangement
the end opposite the hostess is occupied
by a figure of Cupid, poised ready to
throw his dart. Behind him are the
wounded hearts, represented by Rich-
mond roses, tastefully arranged with
graceful adiantum fronds. Beside each
guest's plate is a little heart-shaped
favor filled with violets, while larger
favors of the same shape, also filled
with violets, occupy the center of the
table. The idea is fully completed with
silver, glass and china.

Thomhedge Ntirseries.

The Thornhedge Nurseries, established
ten or twelve years ago on thirty-three
acres of ground about three-quarters of
a mile from Newton Square, Delaware
county, Pa., have grown to a marvelous
extent. The nurseries now cover over
400 acres, including some of the most
beautiful country near Media. It is
nbt the general beauty of the nurseries
that will espacially interest florists, but
that portion devoted to trees, shrubbery
and outdoor flowers. The feature that
most impresses the yisitor at Thornhedge
is the definite aim toward specimen
shrubs of a size not easily obtained in
other nurseries. The Colorado blue
spruce, for instance, is grown on and
shifted as required until perfect speci-

mens of large size are produced. Every
offer, no matter how tempting, is re-
fused for medium sized or small plants.
A number of retinosporas and other
evergreens are also specialized. Another
feature of the nurseries is the flowering
shrubbery, almost every variety known
to the decorator being grown in quantity,
more or less. Dogwood, spiraeas, deut-
zias, long-stemmed summer asters, cos-
mos, etc., are found here in great abun-
dance. Some idea of the extent of the
Thornhedge Nurseries may be conceived
by the fact that it produces 1,000 bush-
els of wheat, the master mind of the
place believing that nothing is more
disastrous than unproductive energy on
a farm.

Various Notes.

The shop windows this week are full
of suggestions for St. Valentine's day,
many of them most beautiful. Hampers,
heart-shaped boxes and dainty baskets,
all tastefully filled, adorn the show-
window.

A grower was taken ill one cold night
recently, with no one near on whom he
could call for assistance in taking care
of the boiler that heated his greenhouses.
His wife finally secured the aid of a
neighbor, who ran for the doctor and
then sat up all night firing the boiler.
The true neighborliness of this deed
should not be in the least marred by
the fact that the neighbor is a dealer in
coal.

William C. Herbert, of the firm of
David Herbert & Son, Atco, N. J., was
in town a few days ago. Mr. Herbert
reports a good demand for dahlia roots.

The senior member of the firm of Col-
lins & Roberts, of Boston, was in town
this week. Mr. Collins, who formerly
represented Whipple & Co., of the Parker
House, has many friends in this city.

The junior partner of "William J.

exceedingly fine sweet peas, pink and
white, now coming into their wholesale
commission house.

George Auegle pointed out some fine
heliotrope ivith long stems on the tables
of the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. a few
days ago. This really exquisite flower
h^s lost many friends owing to its tricki-
nesa. For some unknown reason it will

not always last, even when perfectly
fresh. Certain conditions suit it, while
other conditions cause it to wilt easily.

The Florex Gardens are greatly pleased
with the success of their new carnation
houses. Winsor, White Perfection and
Beacon have done exceptionally well with
them.

John C. Gracey says that business in
both his uptown stores has been excellent

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Last week was a cold one in the New
York wholesale cut flower market in
more than one sense of that cheerless
word. Zero weather was on tap, and the
business was chilled to its marrow-bones.
' ' Not in twenty-two years have such con-
ditions prevailed," says one of the au-
thorities who has seen the ups and downs
of the wholesale trade here for nearly
a quarter of a century.

The present week opens with milder
weather, but, except as to roses, with a
clogged condition of the wheels and con-
gestion at every turn. Especially is this
noticeable in the carnation section; never
so many reaching the market as now,
never the wonderfully attractive variety
and, as to quality, perfection. Thou-
sands of the finest were sold February
10 as low as 2 cents, and in large lots
even this low figure was sometimes cut
in two. The street merchants are much
in evidence and, with the milder weather,
there is hope of a distribution of the
immense shipments.

From now until Lent, society, that part
of it that has not gone to Florida, will
excel itself in elaborate dinners and
decorations and the retailers will keep
the ball rolling. There must be improve-
ment from now until Easter, because one
cannot get farther than the bottom of
anything.

Roses hold up well, at any rate. Why,
with everything else below zero! Be-
cause they are like hens' teeth, mighty
scarce. Beauties stay around 75 cents
for the selected and Maid, and the other
roses up at 10 cents to 12 cents. Maybe
they, too, will drop, for the crop is
coming fast and doubtless there will soon
be enough and to spare.

Of violets, what can one say that is
true and at the same time encouraging
to the patient and persistent grower? I
give it up. Thousands of specials were
as low as 40 cents a hundred all last
week and the leftovers were simply left,

and that's the end of it. Now that the
cold wave has passed and humanity can
get out of doors without freezing to
death, tiie surplus will go to the foreign
dispensers and something, at any rate,
will be obtainable for stock that last
week could not be moved at any price.
These conditions are abnormal. There
will be nothing to compare with them
for a generation to come. As one philo-
sophic wholesaler said, "We must just
grin and bear it. ' '

Lilies are down, as is all bulbous stock.
There are no exceptions, no favorites.
The counters are simply loaded with nar-
cissi, tulips and valley. Think of superb
valley selling at $2 a hundred! It's a
shame. Look at last year's record and
quotations at this date. They tell the
story better than I can, or worse, rather,
for values were then on a pedestal 100
per cent higher than now.

"It's a long lane that has no turn-
ing." "We will soon come to the part-
ing of the ways. Rivers can't flow up
hill all the time, and don't forget that
Easter is in sight and it is time now
to begin to lay plans for its certain and
profitable development.

Club Meeting.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of
the New York Florists' Club was held
Monday evening, February 10, Presi-
dent Weathered in the chair. Notwith-
standing the opening of the meeting
promptly at 7:30, the interest did not
flag to the close, some time after 11
o'clock. The attendance numbered sev-
enty-five. The committee appointed to
confer with the Horticultural Society of
New York, with a view to furthering the
mutual interests of the two societies, es-
pecially as to the holding of public
flower exhibitions, reported through
Chairman ,0'Mara that it had been de-
cided, after a careful review of the sit-
uation, that it would not be for the best
interests of the club to accept the Hor-
ticultural Society's proposition. The
committee suggested that it would be
better that the club members become
active instead of associate members of
the Horticultural Society and strongly
urged the wisdom of earnest cooperation.
W. A. Manda made a strong plea in
behalf of amalgamation, enumerating
many advantages of union, the small
amount of cash required, the certainty
of a center for the holding of exhibitions
and the prospect of a national flower
show in New York in 1909. Mr. Jaen-
ecke took the opposite view. The com-
mittee's report was finally adopted, Mr.
Sheridan moving its continuance.

Mr. O'Mara announced the certainty
of a fall show, the Museum of Natural
History furnishing the hall, and the- Hor-
ticultural Society to ask the aid of the
Florists' Club in carrying the exhibition
to a popular and successful conclusion.

Mr. Sheridan gave a glowing account
of the progress made in behalf of the

suspended to admit of an immediate vote
on the proposition. It was carried unan-
imously and the secretary instructed to
telegraph the same to Chairman Budd,
of the committee on premium list.

The exhibits were excellent and nu-
merous. A vase of Princess of Wales
violets from T. G. Mense, of Glen Cove,
L. I., received a cultural certificate.

The new violet, Boston, from Wm. Sim,
of Cliftondale, Mass., received a certifi-
cate of merit.

A vase of white carnation, Lloyd, from
H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, Mass., ar-
rived in bad condition and a further ex-
hibit was requested.

The Wa-no-ka Greenhouses, Barneveld,
N. Y., showed the dark crimson carna-
tion, Wa-no-ka, which secured eighty-five
points and was awarded a preliminary
certificate.

C. H. Totty showed a large pink seed-
ling chrysanthemum from W. E. Hamil-
ton, of Belfast, Me., which received the
thanks of the club, and W. A. Manda, his
new pink carnation, to which seventy-
three and a half points was awarded.

John T. Withers gave his illustrated
lecture on ' ' The Value of the Shade Tree
and Its Care," a most practical, in-
structive and interesting address, which
held the close attention of his audience
for an hour. A long discussion followed.

A Visit to the Oranges.

George Smith and Hale's seem to en-
joy a monopoly almost of the bon ton
cut flower retail trade of the Oranges,
with conservatory facilities and all the
luxurious addenda of up-to-date city
stores. The large development of high-
class trade among the suburban million-
aires is not to be wondered at. Mr.
Smith's seed department promises to be-
come a most valuable adjunct to his
growing trade, a business that has de-

veloped with wonderful rapidity since
he left the ranks of the gardening fra-
ternity. His popularity among his old
confreres does not wane and he was
chosen by the Horticultural Society to
make the presentation of the silver cups
to the year's successful exhibitors at the
banquet. The smoker was, as usual, a
success. Many visitors were there and
all voted the evening the best of the
society's annual demonstrations. Presi-
dent MacRorie was in the chair and kept
the crowd as good-humored as himself.
Professional entertainers from New
York, the songs of the Rickards broth-
ers, the eloquence of W. A. Manda, Mar-
shall, Burnett and other New Yorkers,
the fine address of Thomas Grey, of Bos-
ton, the music and recitations of local
talent and the classic oratory of the big
four, Messrs. Herrington, Duckham,
Totty and Schultz, of Madison, all com-
bined to complete a night of rare en-
joyment.

The floral display was superb. A vase
of Aristocrat, Lady Bountiful and En-
chantress grown by William Reid could
not be excelled. Max Schneider staged
some grand Purity, narcissi and hya-
cinths. Peter Duff was in evidence with
splendid stock of Euphorbia jacquinise-
flora and W. A. Manda showed his As-
paragus elongatus and a pink seedling
carnation that he thinks will be heard
from. John Hayes exhibited a fine vase
of carnations, including the popular new
varieties, and Alfred Larson staged a
quantity of Princess of Wales violets.
All the exhibits received either certifi-
cates, commendation or votes of thanks.
The supply of luxuries for the inner man
was up to the high standard of .Jersey
banquets and the only xlissatisfied Jer-
seymen are the ones who did not attend.

By the by, Mr. Duckham, since his
return from the Rocky Mountains, is
bowling an average, so Mr. Totty says,
of 250 and still the New York florists
have no official club to represent them
at the S. A. F. convention.

Down at West Orange the new resi-
dence of Joseph A. Manda, orchid ex-

pert, approaches completion. Two im-
mense greenhouses are filled with a
splendid assortment of orchids and a
grand variety of the best of the new
carnations. Enchantress especially being
well grown here.

Various Notes.

Alex. McConnell's big store in the ar-
cade. Fifth avenue and Forty-seventh
street, is an epitome of spring, even
during the zero weather, from his own
greenhouses at New Rochelle, including
forsythia and other shrubs in full bloom
and perfect condition, with splendid
specimens of azaleas, palms, etc.

Herman Warendorff's store, Fifty-
ninth street and Madison avenue, was
deluged with water February 10, a fire in
the building's upper story causing con-
siderable damage. Notwithstanding,
business was announced at night to be
going on as usual.

A second inquiry at the Rosery, on
Thirty-fourth street, discloses the inter-
esting • fact that the actual number of
orchids used in the Vanderbilt wedding
decoration was 7,000, of which about
3,000 came from Twenty-eighth street
and about 4,000 from a private establish-
ment.

At Little Silver, James Dean, the rose
grower, has a fine modern plant of 50,-
000 square feet where some 25,000 Brides
and Maids do duty, Traendly & Sehenck
handling the entire output of the range.

The Lenox Horticultural Society will
hold its annual dinner Saturday evening,
February 15.

Some retail florists believe in branches,
and have them ; others think well of
concentration. Thomas Young, Jr., has
decided the latter plan is the better, and
is now located at 500 Fifth avenue, cor-
ner of Forty-second street.

Millang Bros, have leased the store at
41 Twenty-eighth street, formerly occu-
pied by Mr. Young, where Charles and
August Millang will conduct a strictly
wholesale cut flower business.

The Canal street market will be re-
vived this spring and the usual canvas

protection provided. Possibly the whole-
sale plant association may decide, after
May 1, to make its headquarters at this
locality, with a view to a larger center
than the present headquarters on West
Twenty-seventh street this fall.

John Young, the popular secretary of
the New York Florists' Club, had the
misfortune to break his left arm Feb-
ruary 9, the result of a fall on the icy
pavement. Fortunately his writing arm
is uninjured and a few weeks will end
his inconveniences.

James McManus finds the shipping de-
mand for orchids fully up to the sea-
son's expectations, though values are far
below normal and the supply indicates an
extensive addition to the orchid growers
of this vicinity. Fortunately the orchids'
popularity is no longer confined to the
largest cities and no swell wedding in a
country village around here is complete
without them.

A good many of the fraternity, espe-
cially in the wholesale section, are ill
with grippe or severe colds and a vote
on New York as a winter resort now
would be lost by a large majority.

MERGER AT GRAND RAPIDS.

F. M. Strong, E. E. Taylor, Frank
Cook and S. J. Perry have consolidated
their greenhouse interests under a cor-
porate title of the Grand Rapids Green-
house Co. Individually they control quite
an expanse of greenhouses south of
Grand Rapids, Mich., in which they have
been large producers of lettuce and other
vegetables. The merger is for the pur-
pose of reducing the cost and that the
industry may be carried on to better
advantage, especially as to the handling
of the output. It is intended the work
shall be carried on upon a more extensive
scale and the program calls for addi-
tional greenhouses. To provide for these
$165,000 of preferred stock bearing eight
per cent cumulative dividends is being
marketed.

A WASH FOR GRAPE VINES.

Please let me know what the best wash
is for grape vines. I want something
in liquid form, which I can wash over
the whole vine without injuring the buds.
Please write a little about grape forcing.

J. R. D.

Numerous washes are employed for
this purpose, with more or less success,
but it is hard to find a wash that will
thoroughly clean your vines with one
application, especially if they are in-
fested with mealy bug, which is the most
common and most persistent pest to
which they are subject. The old English
preparation, Gishart's Compound, is
often employed with good results where
the insects are not very numerous. Di-
rections for use are given on the pack-
age.

Where the vines are badly infested,
however, something stronger is neces-
sary to insure any degree of success in
eradicating the pest. The most effec-
tive preparation that we have tried for
badly infested vines is made by taking

RIfi 4 TOMATO

tion of a handful of lampblack will help
to darken the mixture and relieve the
whitewashed look which the vines would
otherwise have. Besides, if any insects
are left they can more readily be seen
on the dark surface than they would be
if the surface were left white. This
mixture can be painted over the buds
without injury, and we find it advan-
tageous to give the vines two coats, as,
no matter how carefully the application
may be made, there are usually some lit-
tle spots left after the first application.
These can be readily seen after the
material has dried on the vines, and run-
ning over the second time makes sure
that every part is covered. It is hardly
possible to eradicate the pest in one sea-
son, but we have seen badly infested
houses entirely free after this mixture
had been used for two seasons in suc-
cession, when the work was thoroughly
done and the woodwork of the house
either washed or painted, so that none
would be left lurking around in the
crevices. To make sure, it is also neces-
sary to remove about two inches of the
surface soil from the floor of the house
and replace with fresh material.

I will write an article on grape forc-
ing in the near future. Wm. Scott.

FORCING CHICORY.

Chicory is of very easy culture. Seed
sovni in spring will produce strong roots
for forcing the succeeding winter. In
forcing it we use a dark, warm cellar.
Anyone desiring to force it, who has not
a cellar from which light can be ex-
cluded, should pack the roots in boxes
of sand and earth and invert a box over
the one containing the roots. In a warm,
dark cellar, the roots can be planted in
earth on the floor or on a raised bench.
After cutting the first crop the roots are
usually thrown away and more housed.
A second crop of smaller shoots will be
produced if the roots are left in. There
is a very fair call for chicory in winter,
and all the high class fruit and vege-
table firms carry it. W.

present and the offers include most of
the standard and supposedly very scarce
varieties.

At several points the shortage of some
of the standard varieties of lettuce is
causing more anxiety than the scarcity
of onion seed.

The seedsmen who do a retail or cata-
logue business express themselves as fair-
ly well satisfied with all stocks save late
varieties of sweet corn.

The Lohrman Seed Co., of Detroit,
Mich., has completed its plans for a
new store, to cost $4,000. Building op-
erations will begin at once.

Market gardeners, it is reported, are
buying seeds more freely than usual this
season. This is a good sign; it indicates
prosperity for the seedsmen.

The a. L. Randall Co., Chicago, which
does a large business in cut flowers and
florists' supplies, is figuring on handling
special strains of florists' flower seeds
next season.

The season in the seed trade usually
is counted as really opening February 10.
This year the early catalogues brought
some extra business in the first part of
January, but the rush now will soon be
on in earnest.

Seed of the Holland cabbage is said
to be quite scarce. It has been reported
that the Racine and other Wisconsin cab-
bage growers will cut their acreage of
Holland cabbage the coming season,
owing to the scarcity of seed. This re-
port is, however, thought to be prema-
ture, as there is likely to be seed enough
to go around.

Red clover seed at $21 per hundred
pounds makes the farmer think the seeds-
men are robbers. When he sees it of-
fered at $14.50 to $16.50 in the cata-
logues and is asked $19 to $21, he can-
not understand what sort of a proposi-
tion he is up against, but when he has
some seed to sell his brain works easier
and he rides smoothly on the rise of
the market.

At recent trade sales in London large
quantities of Japanese lily bulbs were
offered at auction. It was only in a
few instances that prices were run up
high. Though there was a lively com-
petition among some of the buyers of
large quantities, it was evident that the
auctioneers were in the hands of the
buyers, and many lots were sold at low
prices. Those who bought for retail
trade ran the prices up for the extra
large bulbs. It is easy to estimate the
size of bulbs, by the numbers there are
in the cases, and in almost all instances
the fewer bulbs there were in a case
the higher the prices went. Lilium aura-
tum was in demand.

The demand for seed sweet corn is
steady, and the supply in most cases just
enough to keep things interesting.

Kentia seeds in the London horticul-
tural auction rooms recently have sold
in quantity as low as $1.44 per thousand
seeds.

The California seed travelers report
bookings of fairly good business, even
though their prices are uniformly high
and, in the opinion of the purchasing end
of the trade, altogether out of line.

The fourth annual convention of the
Canadian Seed Growers' Association was
held at Ottawa February 4 and 5. The
officers for the ensuing year are: Presi-
dent, James W. Robertson, MacDonald

John C. Leonard.

(In charge of Pea and Bean growing branch for
the Leonard Seed Co.)

College, St. Aune, Que.; secretary-treas-
urer, L. H. Newman, Ottawa.

Some of the European horticultural
papers are printing letters from Ameri-
can correspondents that greatly exag-
gerate the seed shortages in this coun-
try and tend to convey the idea that
it is not at all a question of price, but
of supply at any price, with the seed
trade in this country. Except for a very
limited number of items, the facts jus-
tify no such statements.

Ralph M. Ward & Co., New York,
have a new strain of Lilium .longiflorum
giganteum which they will introduce to
the trade under the name of Wardarai,
the name Arai being that of the grower
of the bulbs in Japan.

J. J. Grullemans & Sons, well-known
Holland bulb growers, say: "We never
recommend double daffodils for earliest
forcing. Henry Irving and obvallaris,
the latter especially, if imported from
Guernsey, may be looked upon as the
earliest of all — although we must admit
that French grown Trumpet Major are
still better for very early forcing. It
is not, however, advisable when trying to
place our goods, to recommend French
grown bulbs."

THE CANNERS' CONVENTION.

The seed trade was well represented at
the annual convention of the canners,
held at Cincinnati, February 3 to 8.
The firms that had from one to three
or four men each on the ground were:

Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, O.

Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y.

Leonard Seed Co., Chicago.

Everett B. Clark Co., Mllford, Conn.

S. D. Woodruff & Sons, Orange, Conn.

Rogers Bros., Alpena, Mlcb.

Hogg & Lytle, Port Hope, Ont.

D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit.

Cleveland Seed Co., Avon, N. Y.

Manitowoc Seed Co., Manitowoc, Wis.

Madson Seed Co., Manitowoc, Wis.

S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich.

Covington Seed Co., Covington, Ky.

W. H. Grenell, Saginaw, Mich.

N. B. Keeney & Son, Le Roy, N. Y.

J. Cbas. McCullough, Cincinnati.

J. M. McCullougb's Sons, Cincinnati.

The headquarters was the Sinton hotel,
the exhibits of machinery and supplies, in-
cluding seeds, being in the south wing of
Music hall, a large building occupying al-
most an entire square. The machinery dis-
play, as usual, was large and of much
interest, not only to those interested
in purchasing, but the general public.
The seedsmen were much in evidence, a
number of firms having nice displays.
Almost the first thing that caught one's
eye as he entered the door was the
brilliantly lighted booth of Leonard Seed
Co., in charge of John C. Leonard. The
booth was tastefully done in red, with
a crape paper roof in pea green. The

samples were exhibited on shelves around
three sides of the booth, in dark green
boxes, the shelves being trimmed in
crape paper of the same shade. The
samples shown were peas and beans of
many varieties, as well as canners' va-
rieties of corn, tomato and cucumber.
The red walls were almost completely
covered with green pea vines of 1908
crop, shipped in from Florida specially
for this display. The vines represented
the main varieties used by canners and
were an optical demonstration of the
purity of the seed pea display on the
shelves beneath. The green vines and
pods of the Leonard's Potlatch attracted
much attention and comment from the
canners and other seedsmen. The seed
corn was displayed on the ear on a
table in the center of the booth.

An^ong other seed houses which had
booths were Jerome B. Eice Seed Co.,
which had its usual attractive display
of samples of peas, etc. The Everett
B. Clark Co. had a well arranged booth,
showing peas and corn, as did S. D.
Woodruff & Sons. Rogers Bros, exhib-
ited for the first time at any of these
conventions, showing samples of the
main canners' varieties. Hogg & Lytle
also were new exhibitors, having a taste-
ful booth and displaying canners' vari-
eties of peas in bushel bags. Livingston
Seed Co. showed its line of canners'
seed specialties. D. M. Ferry &
Co. had a desk, but no display of
samples this year. It is the rule that
those who wish to sell at these conven-
tions must be members of the Machinery
and Supply Association, as it is called.
Not a great deal of business was booked
by the seedsmen, according to reports,
but the friendly feeling that exists be-
tween the canning and seed trades was
again demonstrated, and much business
is expected to follow.

One subject which occupied much at-
i^ention in the convention was that of an
equable contract which shall protect the
interests of both buyer and seller. The
canners have the same troubles the seed
trade does over pro rata deliveries on
contracts. When a reputable business
man contracts to furnish a certain quan-
tity of a certain commodity, his busi-
ness ethics make him desirous of per-
forming his contract to the letter. Yet,
in this matter of canned goods, the
packer contends, with apparently sound
logic, that he cannot be expected to pack
more than the weather, the crop condi-
tions and similar circumstances will per-
mit. Wherefore he has become accus-
tomed to frankly state the case to the
buyer and then deliver whatever he rea-
sonably and conveniently can.

This is, of course, when the obstacles
are purely of the natural sort. But it

TWO NEW VARIETIES FOR 1908.

Vick's Imperial Sunrise

A novelty of extraordinary merit. Seed-
ling from Vick's Daybreak, but distinct in
form of flower, each petal being perfectly
quilled. Color, delicate pink. Plant a
robust grower, upright branches, each
crowned with magnificent double flowers,
three to five inches in diameter. Type se-
curely fixed. Sure to be a winner. Packet,
25c; two packets or more, 20c each.

Vick's Early Branching

Developed from Vick's Late Branching.
Flowers of this new variety can be placed
on the market ten days ahead of Late
Branching sorts. Plants have few branches,
which are free from side buds, the whole
strength of the plant being given to the de-
velopment of large, perfectly double flow-
ers. Long stems. Two colors. White and
Eose. Packet, 25c; two packets or more,
20c each. For prices in quantity see our
"Aster Book for Florists."

is the easiest thing imaginable, on the
part of both buyer and seller, to find
some plausible excuse to crawl out of
unfortunate bargains. If goods bought
at one price in the spring are worth
twenty per cent more in the fall when
the time for delivery arrives, the packer
is prone to desire to hold what stock he
has for spot sales and slide out of his
obligation to deliver by this or that ex-
cuse. When the conditions have changed
80 as to make the price lower at time of
delivery than when the orders were soKl.
the jobber is prone to look for a similar
loophole. Of course, with business men
of fine grain, an agreement is an agree-
ment and flimsy excuse is not tolerated.
Unfortunately, the business world is not
made up of strong men. or men of fine
sensibilities. At least, the canners admit
it, if the seedsmen will not.

The National Association of Whole-
sale Grocers suggested a form of con-
tract which would hold both sides down
to at least seventy-five per cent deliv-
eries and make the offending party re-
sponsible to the other for the shortage,
but this proposition has its manifest
weaknesses and the committee to which
the matter of a uniform contract was
referred was unable to offer a proposi-
tion which would accomplish the desired
ends.

The 1909 meeting of the canning in-
terests will be held at Chicago.

ONION SETS.

The onion-set situation seems to satis-
fy nearly every one. It could not be
better from the standpoint of the grower
who is fortunate enough to have a few
hundred bushels vet to sell. To the

dealer who purchased awhile ago at rea-
sonable figures, it looks just as good.
The brokers at the different onion-set
centers, who at this time of the year are
usually full of business and have numer-
ous large lots to offer, may not be so wfll
satisfied, inasmuch as any trading that
they engineer must be done at the full
market price, the stock disposed of com-
ing from the regular sources of supply.
There is enough scarcity to insure a
steady market and an increasing price
from now on. The Louisville supply is
saiil to be practically exhausted. At

fifty per cent, and the situation is ob-
vious. Nobody got all the sets he wanted
and nobody has all the sets he needs. It
goes without saying, therefore, that no
one will be likely to cut prices.

A SIOUX CITY CONTROVEHSY.

Upon the allegation that the Sioux
City Bird and Seed Store, of which L. G.
Wertz is the proprietor, has been infring-
ing upon its trade name, the Sioux City
Seed and Nursery Co. at Sioux City, la.,
January 31 secured from Judge Hutch-
inson a temporary writ of injunction re-
straining Wertz from using his business
title. The plaintiff also demands dam-
ages in the sum of $1,000.

The Sioux City Seed and Nursery Co.
claims that Wertz has unlawfully and
fraudulently used its trade name in a
manner calculated to injure and inter-
fere with its business. The company
avers that its line is known as "Sioux
City seeds" and as such has gained a
wide reputation; that through the al-
leged similarity of names on several oc-
casions customers of the plaintiff have
been misled, and a loss of trade has re-
sulted. It is stated that Wertz has been
using the name for a long time; that he
has had no seed business of importance,
and that since he adopted the name he
has made no efforts to establish the same.

ONION SEED.

In commenting on the letter of Charles
P. Braslan, which recently appeared in
the Review, in which Mr. Braslan dis-
claimed for the California growers any
object in growing onions in Colorado
other than securing a stock of onion
bulbs after the season for planting seed
in California had passed, \V. Van Fleet,
in the Rural New-Yorker, says:

"In accepting this assurance we ven-
ture to predict benefit from a continu-
ance of the plan of growing onion bulbs
in climates where the seasonal changes
are suflBciently well marked, even if the.
actual commercial seeds are afterwards
grown in the sunlit valleys of California,

ties most in demand were developed in
comparatively high latitudes in Europe
and America, where the short summer is
followed by a long, cold, resting season,
thus inducing the plant to form a capa-
cious and shapely bulb for the storage of
the energy needed to start effective

frowth during the cool weather of the
oUowing spring. Deprive the onion
plant of its accustomed climatic changes,
and deterioration, from the gardener's
view, soon becomes apparent, and will
naturally progress at an increasing rate.
The large, watery onions of the Prize-
taker or Mediterranean group were bred
in a milder climate, where the seasonal
changes are less sharply defined. Their
resting season is short, greafly lessening
their keeping quality. The best seeds of
the Mediterranean varieties are now
grown in Teneriffe, off the coast of Af-
rica, and they may be expected to suc-
ceed as well under . California condi-
tions." ■ ■ ■-.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Springfield
Florists' Club, held Monday, February
10, brought out an attendance of sixteen
members. The coming convention of the
Illinois State Florists' Association was
the one topic discussed and all hoped for
a record-breaking attendance. The vari-
ous committees which have charge of the
flower show and trade exhibit are work-
ing hard to make this a successful ex-
hibition, and from the list of exhibits
promised, they will not be disappointed.
This will be a good opportunity for
western florists to see the novelties and
prize-winners of the Washington carna-
tion show, as they will practically all be
here, in addition to novelties in roses
and other stock. Boiler and florists'
supply men will be large exhibitors at
this show, as a dozen or more have re-
served space in the hall.

Springfield is easily reached by all
railroads and inter-urban lines and this
should help to bring out a good crowd.
The local club will give a banquet to the
visitors Tuesday evening, February 18,
at 9 o'clock, at the St. Nicholas hotel.
Prominent men of this and neighboring
states are on the program to respond to
toasts and the club will do its best to
give everyone an enjoyable evening.

State of Trade.

Business is going quietly, with plenty
of stock to go around. In fact, every
day finds stock left over, especially bulb-
ous stuff, which has not moved nearly so
well or commanded the prices of other
years. Boses move fairly well at $8, $10
and $12 per hundred for the best, but
with cheaper grades most in demand.
Violets fetch 60 cents. Carnations go at
from $2.50 to $4 for good stuflf, the
poorer grades of course going for less,
but, now the days are lengthening, we

The Trade Organizes.

The Eochester florists met February 3
and adopted a new scale of prices for
bedding stock and also formed an organ-
ization to be known as the Commercial
Florists' Association of Rochester. The
officers elected were: President, Fred H.
Vick; vice-president, F. J. Keller; sec-
retary-treasurer, George B. Hart. The
meeting was well attended and all seemed
enthusiastic as to the future of the asso-
ciation. At the next meeting it is pro-
posed to have on exhibition some of the
new carnations, which will be discussed

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Febboabx 13, 1908.

PACIFIC COAST.

Seattle, Wash.— The Alki Floral Co.
has beea incorporated, with a capital of
$1,800. The incorporators are H. R.
Anderson, J. K. Justice and E. O. Lar-
«on.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

There has been a fair amount of busi-
ness during the last week, which has
been one of the stormiest up to this
time. It has rained almost continuously
for the last two weeks and some people
are beginning to wonder when it will
stop.

The excess of dark weather has kept
the output of flowers by the growers
down to a great extent, for had we an
excess of bright sunshine the retailers
would have been swamped with stock.
This may sound strange for the middle
of winter, but when it is taken into con-
sideration that the thermometer has not
been lower than 40 degrees outside at
any time during the month of January,
with the exception of three nights, it is
easy to see that inside or outside stock
has received little or no check and we
have had growing weather practically all
winter. The continued dark weather we
are having at this time, which, although
not cold, has the effect of shortening
the supply, is the first set-back this sea-
son.

The supply of bulbous stock is heavy
at present. The early varieties of yel-
low daffodils net the growers abojit 75
cents per hundred," and 50 cents is paid
for the white narcissi, Violets are a
drug at 75 cents per dozen bunches.
Fruit blossoms have made their appear-
ance, but, owing to the continued fainy
weather, are not very good. Acacia mol-
lissima, Pyrus Japonica, pussy _ willow
branches, blue gum flowers and branches
and wild currant are being used very ex-
tensively at this time for cheap decora-
tions, and their lasting qualities make
them much sought for by shopkeepers
who make an effort to keep up window
displays.

Various Notes.

H. Dehm, the well-known nurseryman
and landscape gardener of Eureka, Cal.,
is in town on a short visit. Mr. Dehm
is looking up various linfes of stock in
this neighborhood and reports everything
satisfactory up in his section of the
country.

August Lacroix, one of San Francis-
co's pioneer nurserymen, against whom
a charge of incompeten6y to handle his
property was brought by his wife, has
been declared sane by the superior court.
Mr. Lacroix for many years lias been
proprietor of the Presidio Nurseries.

The death of Wm. J. Landers, onfe of
the owners of the California Nursery Co.,
of Niles, Cal., is reported in this week's
obituarv column. G.

THE MILD CALIFORNIA WINTER.

The mild, open winter through which
we are just passing, has been .unusual
for its practically hgiving caused no set-
back to stock where a few weeks, at
least, of freezing weath'cr are usually
expected. Outside roses of sU<?h varieties
as Duchess de Brabant, Safrano and
Papa Gontior are at this writing in full
bloom and quantities of t,h^ flowers are

being sold by the street hucksters. On
the inside stock the effect has also been
marked, and roses are now fully as much
advanced as they usually are April 1.
The greenhouse men have had to do
but little firing this season, and were
it not for the absence of sunshine, the
pickings would be phenomenal. All of
this speaks for a heavy cutting in the
near future. The effect on inside carna-
tions has been practically the same. At
no time since the changing of the stock
last fall has there been any scarcity of
stock, and the retailers have had no
trouble whatever to keep their vases filled
with anything called for.

This is quite the reverse of what we
have usually witnessed at this season,
and while in one way it benefited the
retailers, on the other hand it has kept
the prices down a shade lower than here-
tofore. Low prices usually do not be-
speak successful times, nor does a pleni-
tude of stock make it easier to dis-
pose of. The condition that the trade
is in at the present time is, of course,
only a reflex from other industrial con-
ditions, and the fact that it has been
possible to procure flowers at a fair
price may be to tlie benefit of both the
growers and the retailers under the cir-
cumstances.

From the standpoint of the plantsmen
the season thus far, owing to the excess
of moisture, has not been up to expec-
tations. It must be borne in mind that
when there is an excess of moisture and
no cold weather, deciduous stock takes
biit a short resting spell and, before
we know it, leaves and blossoms begin
to proclaim that spring has arrived. As
an example, the writer cut quantities of
almond blossoms, all in full bloom, dur-
ing the third week in January. This is
not an isolated instance, but can be used
as a criterion for everything else in the
neighborhood of San Francisco.

Heliotropes, fuchsias and geraniums
are in full bloom all over town, and
aohyranthes, salvias and lobelias look
almost as bright as tliey have at any
time since last fall.

feared in the category of the plant grow-
er, and these are continued spring rains
until it is practically too late to trans-
plant and replant, and sudden and com-
plete stoppage of rain, followed by dry
winds, which in a few days dry up the

the buds to expand and the leaves to

WAYSIDE NOTES.

Henry J. Osterhoudt, gardener to W.
P. Clyde, of New Hamburg, N. Y.
showed me, among many choice things)
a fine strain of Primula obconica gigan-
tea. Some blooms measured two inches
and an eighth across. It is of a beau-
tiful rose tint, and has large trusses
borne on long stems. He says Holmes'
Supreme is one of the finest tomatoes
yet introduced, for forcing. Among a
choice, but not large, collection of
orchids I noticed some fine pieces of
Cypripedium Leeammi. The new mig-
nonette, Majesty, is well grown; spikes
measuring two feet often occur. In car-
nations, Winsor does well in this heavy
soil. White Perfection is considered su-
perior to White Enchantress, both with
regard to form and floriferousness. All
stock seems to be in excellent condition.
A splendid water supply is obtained from
an artesian well 268 feet deep. Mr. Os-
terhoudt installed a full nest of Heller's
seed drawers, in which to keep the seed
needed from time to time to sow on this
big estate.

David Harrison, gardener to G. H,
Hoyt, of Staatsbtirg. X. Y., says he had
big success in growing the new cosmos.

plants well back. It bloomed freely and
could be cut in great bunches with stems
four feet long. He will grow some in
8-inch pots and feed the plants, feeling
assured it will pay. This method should
be generally tried, as this variety will be
grown extensively this season and doubt-
less will prove a failure if sown outside
late. It is worthy of careful culture and
will prove to be the best of its kind for
cutting. Mr. Harrison has a white one
which may have come in the seed. He
thinks it a worthy companion to the
pink and will save the seed.

James Blair, gardener to D. Ogden

Tery successful with the Cardinal rose
and considers it as profitable to grow in
winter as in summer. It is perfectly
hardy, having a good constitution. It
has fine foliage, well carried up to the
bud. It is easily propagated, fragrant
and of a pleasing, decided crimson or
cardinal color. He has grown it with
Richmond and, although he has been very
successful with the latter, he will grow
Cardinal in its place. He is of the opin-
ion that whoever gives it a thorough
trial will find it a profitable rose. In
carnations 40.000 are struck, half being
planted inside, the balance left to flower
in the field. Owing to late frosts, this
can be done to advantage. I noted

Last year's business was the best they
have ever had — one-third better than that
of the year before.

Oxford. O. — The cold weather, ac-
companied by the strong wind, Saturday
night, February 1, caused considerable
loss at the greenhouses operated by Her-
man Schmidt and Bert Cramer. Al-
though the boilers were fired to their
full capacity, it was impossible to keep
some of the houses above the freezing
point. About 7.800 chrysanthemums,
which had just been potted, all the car-
nations in one house and all the sweet
peas in another, were frozen.

Pres.. J. W. Hill, Des Moines, la.; Vice-Pres.,
C. M. Hobbs, Bridgeport, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. C.
Seager, Rochester, N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates,
Rochester, N. Y. The 33d annual convention will
be held at Milwaukee, June, 1908.

Peter Youngers, of Geneva, has been
elected treasurer of the Nebraska State
Horticultural Society to serve his twen-
ty-second consecutive term.

The Orroville Nursery Co., of Orroville,
Wash., has been incorporated with $1,-
500 capital stock, by David W. F. Reed,
James F. Irving and John R. Fraser.

Abies concolor, or white fir, is a
hardy tree from the western states. It
grows rapidly and attains the specimen
stage in a remarkably short time. The
needles of this fir are dark green and
%-ery effective.

The Palisades Nurseries, Sparkhill,
N. Y., have been incorporated with $15,-
000 authorized capital stock. The di-
rectors named are Angus McGillivary and
John M. Stevens, of Palisades, and
James Cochran, of New York «ity.

The Grand View Nursery and Orchard
Co., of Des Moines, la, will erect a new
oflBce building, 24x50 feet, at the pack-
ing grounds. The mail order business
to date this season is reported to be
better than it was in the same period
last season.

Nurserymen, who have relied upon
their banks for assistance to keep large
forces of agents on the road during the
winter, were cramped during the last three
months, but now find money easier; how-
ever, many of the nurseries that sell
through agents say that a large part of
the business, lost by whatever reason,
will not be regained this season.

The ofiicers of the Tennessee Nursery-
men's Association, elected at the recent
convention at Nashville, are: President,
Frank McCord, of Nashville; vice-presi-
dent for West Tennessee, H. A. Byrns,
of Silvia ; vice-president for Middle 'Ten-
nessee, E. W. Chattin, of Winchester;
vice-president for East Tennessee, E. S.
Dougherty, of Knoxville; secretary-
"treasurer, G. M. Bentley, of Knoxville.

week found John T. Lovett and his office
force over head and ears in the com-
pletion of a new catalogue. Mr. Lovett
has some 45,000 square feet of glass de-
voted e.\clusively to the cultivation of
" herbaceous stock, of which he has over
'1,000 varieties. Phlox, hollyhocks,
peonies and iris are his specialties. The
Astilbe Davidii is in his opinion the

Astilbe Davidii.

best novelty for florists in his entire col-
lection. Its long, graceful pink panicles
will make it especially valuable for cut-
ting. It remains in flower for many
weeks and is absolutely hardy. To give
an idea of the magnitude to which the
business of supplying hardy ornamental
nursery stock has grown, over 200 acres
at this place are devoted to this class
of stock. For one item, Mr. Lovett
carries a quarter of a million plants of
California privet. In addition to all
this, there is a fruit farm where 8,000

peaches are in bearing, 2,500 apples,
2,000 cherry trees and over twenty acres
of pears. Add to this the 3,000 hens, all
of one variety, the White Leghorn, and
you have some conception of the business
enterprise of this old-time nurseryman
of over thirty years' experience.

The outlook for the nursery business
this spring is most encouraging. One
single order for an extensive planting in
April amounts to oveT .$20,000."

Close to the station Mr. Lovett has
purchased ten acres of land, whereon he

NEW ROSE

■\

MRS. JARDINE

Every Florist who Plants a Rose for Winter Forcing wants at least Six Qualities

A FRKE, STRONG GROWTH, WITH GOOD FOLIAGB. A VARIETY THAT CAN BE EASILY GROWN. LARGE
FLOWERS ON LONG STEMS. DELICIOUS FRAGRANCE. DISTINCT, PLEASING COLOR THAT WILL SELL
AT SIGHT. A ROSE THAT WILL HOLD ITS COLOR IN THE DULL DAYS OF DECEMBER AND JANUARY.

MRS. JARDINE has all these characteristics, and, in addition, is of so perfect a form that it can be used either
in the bud or half expanded flower. The color is a bright rosy pink, shading in the outer petals to salmon pink, and,
even in January, when Bridesmaids and Killarney lose their color, Mrs. Ja.rdine is as bright as in October or March.

We extend a cordial invitation to everyone interested in this New Rose to visit our Nurseries and see it growing.

MRS. JARDINE has been awarded Two Silver Medals, numerous Certificates, and successfully stood the best
test which any novelty can possibly have in passing unanimously, in December, the Award Committee of the New
York Florists' Club after an exhaustive examination of the growing plants, with a score of 92 points.

Strong^ Plants on own roots, from 2^-inch pots, $6.00 per doz.; $30.00 per 100; $70.00 per 260;
$260.00 per 1000; 6000 for $1126.00; 10,000 for $2126.00.

NAME OF HEDGE PLANT.

We are sending you by this mail, un-
der separate wrapper, a cutting from a
hedge plant, which we discovered in a
row of California privet. This plant is
evergreen and grows as rankly as the
privet. We shall greatly appreciate it if
you will advise us of the botanical name
of this plant. G. S.

The plant is Euonymus radicans, one
of the best of evergreens for hedges, also
splendid as a climber.

PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS.

Trees and shrubs, when planted judi-
ciously either in groups or borders or in
both, constitute the most effective means
of a permanent .beautifying of grounds,
but if at first the work is not done with
taste and with a thorough knowledge of
what the ultimate effect will be, the re-
sults will not only be unsatisfactory as
regards the planting itself, but the
grounds will, until the trouble is reme-
died, be a constant reminder of ineffi-
ciency and a continued regret and eye-
sore. It is, then, surely of the greatest
possible importance that the work should
be done properly when undertaken.

The number of trees and shrubs plant-

objects in themselves, it is a mistake to
plant them in such numbers that every
vista is curtailed or closed. Trees or
shrubs should not be planted aimlessly all
over the grounds, because, if they are,
the result will be a patchy appearance.

In planting, attention should be directed
to the aid the trees and shrubs planted
will give to the landscape, making it ap-

REASONS

MAY"

Why You Should Plant MAY

May is a strictly commercial variety. Business
from beginning to end.

It comes into bloom early and continues unin-
terruptedly until the end of the season.

It is freer than any other light pink we know of.

The size of the bloom is just what you want in
quantity, 2>^ to 3>^ inches.

The color is deeper and brighter and more even
than Enchantress and holds better.

The form is well shown in illustration.

It is not so crowded in the center as Enchant-
ress, therefore opens quicker.

The calyx never splits and stem is always strong.

The plant grows strong and upright and about
as tall as Lady Bountiful.

Makes nice plants in the field and transplants
easily.

We invite you to come and see our stock of it
any time; you will like its habit.

largely planted and which has been shown at Boston and other shows, was looking fine. It is
the most wonderfully prolific white the committee had seen. The flower is large, full and the
stem ideal.— Boston News-letter in Nov. 28, 1907, issue of The Florists' Review.

Bailey, all of Mobile, have subscribed
and paid in for 8,300 shares of a par
value of $8,300. The officers of the com-
pany are: President, Maria Minge; sec-
retary and treasurer, Windham Lyon;
manager, W. M. Bailey. The new com-
pany has purchased twenty acres of land
and has also contracted for 25,000 roses
to be grown on for them, to be planted
in the first range of houses, which will
consist of ten houses 200 feet long. Or-
ders are in at the factory for a battery
of sixty horse-power boilers. The plant
will be modern in every respect.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

The last week showed no improvement
fn the cut flower market. Trade has
been dull, even funeral work having
fallen oflF. A good supply of carnations
is now coming in; they retail at 60 cents
and 75 cents per dozen. Boses bring $2
per dozen. There is a fair demand for
violets; they sell at $1 per hundred re-
tail. Bulbous stuff is plentiful; 60 cents
per dozen retail is the price asked. Sweet
peas bring $1.50 per hundred retail.
Freesias are still coming into the mar-
ket. These are fine for funeral work.

Variottt Notes.

S. S. Peckham's carnations are look-
ing fine. He is busy shipping rooted
cuttings.

The cold wave has struck us, and as a
consequence the coal pile is rapidly de-
creasing, but growers cannot complain,
as we have had fine growing weather up
to now.

R. H. Woodhouse will have a big lot
of geraniums for the spring trade. His
Easter lilies are looking fine and healthy.

INDIANAPOLIS.

Current Comment.

During the last week we have been
having our first real taste of winter.
The temperature has been around the
zero mark, with plenty of ice and snow.
In spite of it all, trade has held up
fairly well. All kinds of bulb stock are
arriving in quantities and of good
quality. >

At the last monthly meeting of the
State Florists' Association several new
members were enrolled in anticipation
of the carnation convention next year.
It is hoped that the society will have
many new members added to it this
year. All those making their living at
the business ought to belong to either
their state or national society.

The members of the State Florists'
Association will visit the Richmond flo-
rists February 19. A large party is de-
sired and a good time is assured, as
anybody knows who has ever been at
Richmond.

George Wiegand is making an exten-
sive trip through the west and south-
west, on his way to Los Angeles. He
expects to be away six or eight weeks.
In the meantime Homer is "it."

A. F. J. Baur is confined to the house
with an attack of grippe.

The Smith & Young Co. has a very
fine white orchid. Mr. Junge hopes
some day it will be an automobile. S.

WASHINGTON.

Cttrrent Comment.

That good, old-fashioned winter vpeath-
er you hear our grandfathers talk about
has been holding the fort in Washington
ever since the Carnation Society left us.
It has shortened up the cut considerably,
but there is enough stock to go around.
Violets and orchids have been scarce.
White and lavender lilac is plentiful, es-
pecially the white.

George Cooke reports a busy week.
Z. D. Blackistone has been running a
sale of cheap baskets of cut flowers and
carnations at 50 cents a dozen, and with
funeral work, this has kept him busy.
George Shaffer reports business good.
We found John Robinson with more
orders than flowers. Mr. Pfister has some
attractive windows.

J. H. Small & Sons last week had
the largest individual order ever booked
by the firm in Washington. It was for
the Townsend ball. Over 1,000 cattleyas,
with hundreds of sprays of white lilac,
were used on the tables. The whole
house was decorated with azaleas, lilac,
Japanese cherries, and flowering almond
plants.

The Gude Bros. Co. has had a busy
week, with dinners and luncheons and
a heavy demand for funeral work.

W. W. Kimmell reports a decided im-
provement in his business.

Joseph Harty, who was located in the
Ebbitt House, sold all his stock and
fixtures at auction last week.

The Florists' Club had an interest-
ing meeting February 4. Officers for
the coming year were nominated. The
candidates for president are Z. D. Blacki-
stone and F. H. Kramer. O. O.

HOOPESTON, ILL.

A. Peterson, who has been in business
here for about seven years, and has at
present about 30,000 square feet of glass,
has entered into partnership with another
experienced florist, S. E. Lawrence, of
Arrowsmith, 111. The new flrm will be
known as Peterson & Lawrence, and will
engage in business here on a greatly en-
larged scale. Mr. Peterson owns ten
acres of land just outside of the city
limits, and on this tract of ground the
firm will immediately erect three houses,
each 27x250, to be used exclusively for
carnations. Two more houses, for roses,
will be built in the near future. The
office and store will remain at Mr.
Peterson's present address.

NEW ROSE

My Maryland

Best up-to-date commercial rose. Read what others

have to say about it.

Among the many new roses of the year there is none which has impressed us
more as being worthy of a thorough trial. It has been exhibited only as 294, being a
seedling raised by John Cook, of Baltimore. A beautiful rose with an exquisite fra-
grance. In color it may be described as a soft salmon pink, which brightens up beau-
tifully as the bud opens. We are intending to plant this rose in quantity.

A. N. PiERSON, Cromwell, Conn.

In answer to your inquiry what we think of your new rose, My Maryland, we
would say that after seeing others we still believe that you have the best new rose of
modern times. Gude Bros. Co., Washington, D. C.

GALESBURG^ILL.

I. L. Pillsbury has applied for a pat-
ent on a method of mending carnation
calyxes, which he has employed for some
time. He calls it Pillsbury 's Carnation
Staple, which accurately describes it.
It is a staple of fine green wire, the
split calyx being gathered together, mak-
ing the parts lap a trifle, when the staple
is set with one leg on each side of the
split and pushed home. The shape of
the staple causes it to remain in its place
when pushed to the head.

ORANGE. N. J.

The Floricolhif al Society.

The regular monthly meeting of the
New Jersey Floricultural Society was
held February 7 and took the form of a
reception by the new president, Malcolm
MacRorie, of members and^ friends.
Among those present, prominent in the
trade, were C. McTaggert, of Thor-
burn's; Thomas Grey, of Boston; J. B.
Kidd, seed appraiser of the port of New
York; William Duckham, Arthur Her-
rington, C. H. Totty, J. Austin Shaw,
W. A. Manda and the Rickards brothers,
with representatives from Madison and
Tarrytown. Musical and dramatic reci-
tations, addresses and sleight-of-hand
tricks, with the usual refreshments, de-
tained the gathering until a late hour.

The presentation of four silver cups
won in the monthly competitive shows
during the last year was made, with ap-
propriate remarks by George Smith.

Letters from H. Weber, John E.
Haines, Chicago Carnation Co. and F. R.
Pierson, in connection with the forth-
coming carnation night in March, were
read.

Floral decorations from neighboring
estates filled the tables. J. B. D.

AUGUSTA, GA.

One of the oldest citizens of Augusta,
Ga., died recently; the late James R.
Randal, author of "Maryland! My
Maryland ! ' ' For the funeral the South-
ern Confederate Memorial Association,
with headquarters at New Orleans, tele-
graphed an order to Balk's Nursery for
an appropriate oflfering. Henry W. T.
Balk made a pillow, employing the Con-
federate colors. The pillow was thirty-
six inches wide and edged with bronze
galax. The cross upon it was of white
carnations and covered with double vio-
lets. The red ground was of red carna-
tions and there were thirteen lilies, rep-
resenting the stars.

I LIKE the Review best of all; it is
very interesting and instructive. — LuD-

BALTIMORE.

State of Business.

This has been a season of ups and
downs. Last summer trade in Baltimore
was better than it ever had been be-
fore at that time of year, and it con-
tinued so up to late autumn, when the
general upheaval in business conditions
shut down the flower buying, the same as
everything else. At Christmas a fine
business was done, as good as ever be-
fore with most retailers, and making
a new record for some. Early in Janu-
ary business was fair, but it has run
down in the last few weeks and things
are quiet now. There is an occasional
good decoration handled by the leading
stores, and now and then a spurt of
funeral work helps out. We have had
some unusually cold days, which did not
stimulate business.

There has been an abundant supply
of stock in all lines except roses. When
the weather was favorable to the street
salesmen they found supplies more or
less at their own prices, either here or
in other nearby markets, but in spite of
this competition prices are fairly well
maintained.

Various Notes*

There has been a steady succession of
visitors, many of them making a special
trip to Baltimore to see John Cook's
new rose, My Maryland, the fame of
which has spread far and wide. Prac-
tically every visitor has endorsed Mr.
Cook's opinion that it is the best thing
he has ever sent out. The success which
Cardinal has made this season with the
Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Chicago, has
brought Mr. Cook many inquiries for
stock of this variety, which he sent out
several years ago. Peter Henderson &
Co., of New York, will disseminate an-
other of Mr. Cook's new red roses this
year, a garden variety.

J. J. Perry says the business of the
Baltimore Florists' Exchange is showing
a steady yearly increase and that he
hopes to develop for Baltimore a ship-
ping trade such as gives stability to the
markets in other cities. An increasing
number of out-of-^own buyers already
look to Baltimore for their supplies.

Samuel Feast & Sons say that, up to
the middle of January, the business for
the last six months was just about the
same total as in the same period of the
year before and they hope to see things
again going at the normal rate before
long.

M. Thau is no longer in charge of the
Fernery greenhouses. C. M. Ackerman,
who is the spokesman for the owners of
this concern, says that if it had not been
for the financial disturbance last fall
they would have opened at least two
stores in addition to the one on North
Charles street and says it is still planned
to do so.

THE BOSTON VIOLET

The people today are looking for new Violets just as much as they are for new roses or carnations. THE
BOSTON VIOLET for the past two years has been placed before the most skeptical buyers in America, and they
prefer it to any other.

THERE'S A REASON. The Boston Violet is the largest, the most fragrant; it has a very pleasing color
and it is a great keeper. THE BOSTON VIOLET is a variety that is easily grown, it is the strongest grower and
is in crop from September to May.

THE BOSTON VIOLET was awarded a First-Class Certificate of Merit by the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, and a Report of Superior Merit by the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, of Boston.

Distribution will commence in April. Order now.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Februabt 13, 1908.

BUFFALO.

The Market

Severely cold weather has prevailed
over Buffalo and vicinity for the last
week, but fortunately we have also had
heavy snows, which helped keep the
houses warm. The thermometer register-
ed 12 degrees below zero, and in some
of the smaller towns east of here it
registered 25 degrees below. As a re-
sult, heavy wrapping had to be done.
Bulb stock is now a drug on the market
and moves very slowly. In fact, all stock
is too plentiful, and unless trade im-
proves in other lines besides funeral
work, it will be a poor month.

A Bowling Party.

Through the efforts of two or three of
the younger florists, a bowling and sleigh
ride party was arranged for the evening
of February 7. The party was arranged
for the benefit of the younger element
and was well attended. For some reason
the sleigh ride was omitted, but that did
not in any way detract from the enter-
tainment of the evening. About four
of the members of the original club were
in attendance, the rest of the large gath-
ering being new material.

A nice supper was disposed of, after
which we had remarks from whoever
wished to speak. Mr. Adams acted as
chairman and gave his views as to in-
stalling new members and starting action
in the old club. We also had remarks
from several other members. The meet-
ing was a great success and started the
spirit which we hope will continue
throughout. Several names of applicants
were received and a special meeting was
called for February 14, to install them.
We hope to see a lot of new faces at the
meeting.

After the dinner we all adjourned to
the bowling alleys and a fine time fol-
lowed. Mr. Slattery and Mr. Adams were
chosen captains for the two sides and,
after the smoke cleared away, Slattery
was the victor by a small number. Carl
Risch and Joe Beau carried off the high
honors.

Various Notes.

L. H. Neubeck has been showing some
fine lilacs the last two weeks.

Two large balls the last fortnight were
the only social events to create any de-
mand for flowers.

Mr. Zirkman and Mr. Knickman were
visitors last week. E. A. S.

Eldorado, Kan. — William H. Noble
has recently remodeled and enlarged his
greenhouse.

STARTING CANNAS.

Please let me know how canna bulbs
are started, whether exposed to the light
or under the benches. Is February the
right time to start them for spring
stock? K. H. L.

It is rather too early to start your
canna roots. Let them remain where
thoy are until the middle of March;
then divide them with a heavy, sharp
knife, leaving a single eye to a divi-
sion. Place them on a bench over heat-
ing pipes, first laying a coating of moss
on the bottom. Lay the roots quite
close together; then shake a quantity
of sphagnum moss over them, just
enough to fill the blank spaces and cov-
er the eyes. Give a soaking of water
and give no more except light surface
sprinklings until root and growth action
starts. A temperature of 60 degrees at
night is suitable. They will start in a
cooler house, but much more slowly.
When the divided plants are rooting
nicely, pot into 3-inch or 4-inch pots, ac-
cording to their size. The moss lifts
nicely and there is little danger of break-
ing the roots. Be careful not to over-
water after potting. When the pots are
full of active roots, there is little danger
of this occurring. C. W.

TOLEDO, OHIO.

State of Trade.

A good increase in trade was notice-
able during the last week, while the pres-
ent week began with brisk business and
it is expected that the special call for
valentine decorations will make the week
an excellent one.

From the first part of last week the
demand for carnations began to increase.
The Youngstown Floral Co. disposed of
7,000 during the week. George Bayer has
been devoting his entire time to carna-
tions lately.

There has also been a good run on roses,
while the call for violets was greater
than ever before last week. The increase
in business is encouraging, especially to
the new dealers that have opened retail
stores in the city.

Various Notes.

Toledo florists are again trying to
outdo themselves on window displays,
and the valentine window decorations
at the local retail stores are beautiful
as the result. The decorator at the
new retail store of George Heinl began
work February 10 and many stopped to
admire the display during the day. The
decorations are appropriate for Valen-
tine's day and violets are the principal
flowers used.

The Schoen Floral Co. also has a num-
ber of artistic novelties displayed for
the valentine trade. Every retailer in
the city has secured a stock of novelties
for the occasion, and from the way
orders are coming in now the business
for Valentine's day will greatly exceed
that of last year.

H. F. Breckle, on Sylvania avenue, is
having trouble with lettuce and is ex-
perimenting with tlie hope of ascertain-
ing the cause. He believes the heavy
frost of the last few weeks is partly
responsible for the failure of the crop.
Mr. Breckle is growing a good supply
of bedding plants.

Joseph Heinl, of Jacksonville, 111.,
arrived February 10, to spend several
days with his brother, Harry Heinl.

William Feniger, of the Youngstown
Floral Co., returned to Toledo Febru-
ary 8, after spending a pleasant week
at his home in Cleveland.

George Heinl is having a good run on
his early supply of spring flowers.

fireenhoose Heating.

GAS FOR FUEL.

One of your subscribers desires to
know whether trials with gas heating
have ever been made in the east or any-
where else, and what the results were.
I mean, of course, gas employed in place
of coal, or any other kind of fuel. I
would also like to know whether gas
would be injurious to the plants, if the
door were left open from the boiler-room
into the propagating house, as I am ac-
customed to do now, with a coal fire.

E.F.

I do not now recall any work which
could be called experimentation in the
use of gas for greenhouse heating. On
the contrary, I know that gas has been
used as a substitute for coal in heating
greenhouses. For fifteen, years, at least,
the greenhouses of the West Virginia Ex-
periment Station have been heated by
the use of gas as a substitute for coal.
It is convenient, reliable and requires no
night fireman when equipped with auto-
matic regulators. Unless gas escapes
from the pipes into the houses, it can do
no injury to the plants. There is less
danger of gas escaping into the houses
from good gas burners than from a coal
fire. In fact, I have used an open gas
fire to heat a current of air in a flue
which discharged directly into the green-
house, with no ill eflfects to the plants.
This, of course, means that there was
perfect combustion in the burner, which
is easily secured if a good mixer is used
on the burner. The blue flame of the
Bunsen burner is what you should aim
to secure in a gas heater. L. C. C.

TYPE OF BOILER.

I am in the market for a steam boiler
to heat my plant and wish to be economi-
cal in fuel. I am at a loss to know what
boiler to put in, as there are so many
on the market, so I wish some practical
person, who knows by experience, would
kindly answer the following questions:
What size of steam boiler do I need to
heat 20,000 square feet of glass expo-
sure, or 3,670 square feet of wall ex-
posure, or 150,000 cubic feet of space?
The average temperature required is 60
degrees at zero, or 50 degrees at 20 de-
grees below zero. Is a cast-iron boiler
preferable to a steel boiler for economy
of fuel and durability? Is there any
advantage in a boiler that has the fire
box surrounded by water, as compared
with one that has the water only over the

P. M. O.

According to the figures given, a fifty
horse-power steam boiler should be suf-
ficient to do the work. The Scotch ma-
rine type of boiler is one of the most
economical types constructed. The water
jacket about the fire box is economical
of fuel, but the diflference in the first
cost and the life of boilers usually
throws the choice to the brick set return
tube type. For ordinary heating and
steam generation this type is very siatis-
factory. L. C. C.

DIFFERENCE IN RADIATION.

In the Review of January 23, in an-
swer to A. H. D., you say that a boiler
of certain dimensions will heat five
houses 20x100 if used with hot water,
or seven houses of the same size if used
with steam. "What I want to know is
this: Are the two extra houses pure
gain, or will A. H. D. be able to burn
more coal on the same grate? W. B.

The difference is that it takes more
radiation with hot water to accomplish
given results than with steam. In other
words,- the amount of radiation carried
in the two cases is practically the same,

but with steam the eflBciency of the
radiation is increased about twenty per
cent; hence the difference in the number
of houses that can be carried. As it re-
quires more heat units to heat water to
212 degrees than to 180 degrees, it will
take more fuel to run the seven houses
on a steam basis than the five houses on
a hot water basis, but probably not as
much as would be indicated by the* dif-
ference in the amount of work done.

writer in the Horticultural Advertiser,
I find that the system of having hot
water pipes close up to the glass has con-
siderably extended during the last few
years, yet it is by no means a new idea.
I think it was at Cannell & Sons' where
I first saw pipes up near the glass.
These were the ordinary 4-inch pipes,
and onlji a short distance from the bot-
tom of the rafters. Since then I have
seen various methods. The 1%-inch or
2-inch gas barrel makes a neat purlin,
and, if properly fixed with uprights bed-
ded in cement, gives more support than
the ordinary wooden purlins or iron rods.
More recently I have seen the ordinary
3-inch hot water pipes used a good dis-
tance up the roofs of glasshouses. Where
properly arranged the elevated pipes af-
ford a quick flow from the boilers, and
all the pipes at the ordinary level may
be heated by the return water. It is,
however, concerning the advantages de-
rived rather than the actual fixing of
the pipes and other details which may
easily be ascertained from inspection
where the system is in operation, with
which we are concerned.

It is well known that the moisture
settling on the surface of flowering
plants, when we have no sun to dry it
off, is a great source of trouble; also,
that in the spring when the ground is
cold and the sun sheds its warm rays
from above, plants make more growth
than at any other period. Bottom heat
induces root growth, and after roots are
plentiful, heat from above will induce
stem growth, and encourage flowering.

Taking plants which are grown on
stages, the hot water pipes beneath dry
the under surface of the foliage and
provide a convenient refuge for insect
pests, while the moisture rises and con-
denses on the under side of the glass
and rafters, besides which some moisture
settles on the flowers and causes damp-
ing. The elevated pipes not only give
warmth under more natural conditions,
but also preserve the woodwork by pre-
venting condensation of moisture. I do
not suggest that all the heat should be
supplied from above, but I should pre-
vent hot, dry air rising up from under
an open stage where flowering plants
are grown.

We all recognize the value of bottom
heat for popagating from cuttings, and
for inducing a start to root growth,
and also that some tender plants do not
like a cold surface to stand upon. Even
fern growers find that it is a great ad-
vantage to have the elevated hot water
pipes; carnation growers are adopting
the system. For flowering pelargoniums

in winter a great advantage is gained.
In Belgium I found that some houses
used for palms had the elevated pipes.
In most instances arrangements are
made for shutting off the heat from the
elevated pipes when the sun is bright.
Since fuel has become so dear it is an
important matter to make the most of
all the heating surface, and much may
be gained by keeping the pipes quite
clear of the ground and free from all
obstructions.

SULPHURIC ACID A FUNGICIDE,

The Gardeners' Magazine (England)
says that a safe and useful fungicide,
which is used with satisfactory results
at the Royal Gardens, Kew, is a solution
of sulphuric acid in the proportion of 1
to 1,000, or one pound to 100 gallons.
This does nit injure the plant, and com-
pletely destroys mildew and similar
fungi. No harm will be done to pumps,
etc., if a small amount of clear water ia
pumped through the apparatus at the
conclusion of spraying. This should be
done whatever solution is used, as the
apparatus is then left in a clean con-
dition.

MODERN ADVERTISING.

"I have observed that many of the
advertisements are taking on a more
modern aspect," says a writer in a Brit-
ish horticultural trade paper.

"There are some of the old school
who declare that people don't stop to
read descriptive advertisements.

"They don't, if the latter have that
tired sort of appearance, but let there be
life in the advertisement, and it is as
good as a salesman.

"The point to bear in mind when
drawing up an advertisement is that it
has to take the place of a salesman.

or two to the effect that he is a car-
nation grower, he may sit and wait for

been good during the last week. The
demand has been lively and the supply of
stock has greatly increased, so that all
orders could be filled in full. The cold
snap is a thing of the past and we are
having weather more to our liking. The
retail business continues to be mostly
funeral work. There have been many
deaths among persons of prominence and
so the demand for this class of work
has been greatly above normal. Tran-
sient trade has been light and the de-
mand for stock for weddings and re-
ceptions is not up to standard.

Roses continue coming just abQut as
last reported. There has been a little
increase in red, outside of Beauty, and
the quality is good. A good price is
obtained for them also. Brides are in
heavy demand and more could be used
to advantage. Carnations are coming
more heavily nearly every day. The
bright sun has been doing the work.
This increase has forced the price down
a little, though the demand continues
good. It looks now as if the carnation
is going to have its inning for some
time to come. Growers report thousands
of blooms in sight and coming fast. It
is to be hoped that a good part of this
cut will be harvested, at least before
Lent, and it would appear that such will
be the case.

Bulbous flowers are in good supply and
are selling well at quoted prices. Val-
ley is having an especially good run.
Lilies, both Harrisii and callas, are scarce
and not equal to the demand. Conse-
quently they bring good prices.

Violets are in good supply and sell
fairly well. As is usually the case, the
long-stemmed single ones bring the best
prices. Some fine double ones from New-
York sell well.

Various Notes.

On February 8 occurred the death of
Mrs. Bright, mother of Mrs. R. A. Betz.
The funeral took place February 11.

L. F. Benson has been drawn on a
jury for a two weeks' term. He says
that he is glad of it, as things have
been a little quiet with him.

A new firm has started up in this
city to manufacture florists' wire de-
signs, has adopted the name of Florists'
Wire Design Co., and is located at 113
and 114 East Third street. The firm is
laying plans to keep a large stock on
hand at all times, so as to be able to
fill orders quickly. The factory is in
charge of one of the best wire workers
in the country and the work turned out
will be sure to give satisfaction.

Charles Reimers stopped off at this
city February 8. He was on his way
to his home city, Louisville, Ky., where
he was formerly engaged in the flower
business. He came all the way from
Los Angeles, Cal., where he has been
living for several years. He said he
was homesick to see the old town, so
just had to come back for a visit.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 3

ILLINOIS STATE
FLORISTS' ASSOCIATION

9Ki

The Springfield Meeting.

The biggest blizzard of the winter
swept over the Illinois prairies February
18 and 19, impeding the operation of the
steam railroads and effectually tying up
the electric lines of Springfield and the
network of trolleys which link to it the
surrounding cities. But old Boreas could
not affect the success of the third an-
nual convention of the Illinois State
Florists' Association further than to
keep from the meetings the florists of
the nearby towns, who would otherwise
have come in in large numbers by trolley.
The reduction in attendance was greatly
deplored, because the association has be-
fore it the opportunity to do more for
the good of floriculture than has been
accomplished by any other trade body in
recent years. The association has the
opportunity to cause to be established at
the State University the first practical
school in the United States for the train-
ing of florists; the assistance of every
member of the trade is not only wanted,
but warranted, and the sessions of the
society were therefore full of interest.

Then, too, there was a trade exhibi-
tion which would have done full credit to
a much older and greatly larger society.
Arion hall was well filled with exhibits,
attractively staged, and some splendid
stock was shown. The facilities were ex-
cellent and the Springfield Florists' Club
is entitled to much praise for the manner
in which the arrangements were handled.
They had joined hands and worked
unitedly, with a most commendable re-
sult. The entertainment features were
lavish, especially considering the small
number of florists in Springfield to bear
the burden of work and finance.

Tuesday's Business Session.

Antrim C. Brown, president of the
Springfield* Florists' Club, opened the
convention with a brief welcome and in-
troduced Mr. Murray, spokesman for the
mayor, who was ill. He not only apolo-
gized for the blizzard in welcoming the
visitors, but quoted some of the facts as
to the extent of the florists' industry in
Illinois and congratulated the trade on
its progress, stating that the investment
and volume of business has doubled in
seven years. The response was by P. J.
Foley, of Chicago, who said that the
splendid opportunity to do great and
lasting work for floriculture which lies
before the Illinois Association demands
the cooperation of every florist in the
stato.

President's Address.

President Albert T. Hey, of Spring-
field, then read his address, an able doc-
ument, in which he gave a resume of
the work accomplished in the last year,
including the securing of the appropria-
tion of $15,000 of public funds for the
purposes of the trade studies at the State
Kxperiment Station. He recommended
that steps be taken to secure a complete
census of floriculture; that the State
Association offer medals or otherwise
participate in the national flower show;

that those who participate in the trade
display be recognized by the award of
certificates, etc., under proper rules; and
that a committee on state fair be ap-
pointed to assist in securing for the trade
the great benefits which can be had from
the increased appropriation for floricul-
ture at this great annual event. He
called attention to the city beautiful
movement as worthy of whole-hearted
support and, referring to the experi-
mental work; said:

* ' Our station is yet in its infancy and
the work is much impeded in not having
the houses built to carry on the work.
Plans and specifications have been made
and the plant will be in full operation
in a few months. Some little work in
the line of experiments has been made
— part of the greenhouses of Washburn
Bros., of Bloomington, have been rented
for this winter, and report of what has
been done will be given you by Prof.
A. C. Beal, who has charge of the work.
The time is not far distant when we will
see a practical course for florists estab-
lished at our university. The coming
florist should have a practical training,
combined with a knowledge of those sci-
ences relative to our business. The agri-
cultural department of the university is
doing a great work on these lines, espe-
cially in the study of soils and fertiliz-
ers, and the florist who wants to rank
high in his profession must attain a
knowledge of those sciences, and it is for
this association to see that a way is
made possible for him to do it.

"As in all other trades and profes-
sions, we are today flooded by a great va-
riety of chemical fertilizers, insecticides,
etc., that are thrown on the market with
all their excellent recommendations for
the innocent, good-natured florist to ex-
periment with. Many of our trade know
little of their adaptability to different
soils, etc., until they have found out, by
sometimes costly experience. I want to
see this put on the same basis as our
pure food law and think that any ferti-
lizer and insecticide sold to the trade in
Illinois should have the stamp of our ex-
periment station analysis upon it. ' '

Secretary A. C. Beal, of Champaign,
and Treasurer Geo. A. Kuhl, of Pekin,
presented reports which showed 110 mem-
bers January 1, 1908; receipts for the
year $166.81, disbursements $133.57, bal-
ance January 1, 1908, $33.24.

E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., was in-
troduced to talk on any topic he chose
and after saying a word in favor of the
state fairs as a means for reaching a
class of people we are not touching at
present, he discoursed most entertain-
ingly on the trade as it is conducted in
France, of course treating specially on
rose breeding and flower shows.

The committee on president's address
reported favorably on a number of his
recommendations, including: That the
president and secretary be authorized to
arrange for certificates and rules to gov-
ern their award to exhibitors in next
year's trade display. That the establish-
ing at the State University of a prac-

tical course of instruction for florists
be urged. That resolutions be transmit-
ted to the Society of American Florists
requesting that body to memorialize the
census bureau in favor of a thorough
census of floriculture. The report was
adopted.

The president appointed the following
committees: Judges, A. F. Friedley, F.
H. Rowe, A. F. Longren; national flower
show, F. L. Washburn, W. N. Rudd,
W. L. Kroeschell; state fair, J. F. Am-
mann, Geo. Asmus, A. T. Pyfer.

Floriculture at University.

A letter from E. Davenport, dean of
the State University, whom illness pte-
vented from being present, was read. It
was in part as follows:

" If I do not greatly mistake the ideas
of the florists, we are not to stop at the
present stage of things. I believe that
your action and your achievements up to
date are but a part of a larger; thing
that was born when you were successful
in landing the present appropriation.

* ' Your action in behalf of floriculture
was the first of its kind, and your uni-
versity is the first to assume an obliga-
tion to do what it can for an interest
that is not only commercial but is also
eminently artistic, and in my way of
thinking great things will come of it.

"Floriculture is a new subject from
the university standpoint, and as a con-
sequence few men are trained to do the
work that needs to be done at this time.
There are many successful growers of
flowers, only a few who have attempted
to teach the subject even in an element-
ary way, and almost nobody who has dis-
tinguished himself as a competent in-
vestigator in the broader field of flori-
culture.

"So we are placed in the position of
together working out a plan not only to
achieve a definite purpose but to make
the organization and the machine to
produce it, but with the money which
I feel certain the state will provide, we
shall accomplish things worth while. ' '

Report of Advisory G>mnuttee.

For the committee charged with ad-
vising as to the work of the experiment
station, with the recent appropriation
for floriculture, W. N. Rudd presented a
full report. It was stated that of the
appropriation of $15,000, one-half is
available each year for two years and
that for this year the general funds of
the State Experiment Station, $5,000,
have been added to this year's appro-
priation, to go towards buildings. Plans
for a range of up-to-date commercial
houses have been prepared (and were
shown) and erection will proceed in the
spring. At one of the early meetings of
the advisory committee it was decided
that * ' a sum not exceeding $2,500 of the
appropriation for the current year
should be expended to cover expense of
a field inspector and for an investigation
into the damages and ravages caused by
thrips especially, and other insects and
diseases infesting plants and vegetables
grown under glass in Illinois, and for
conducting experiments in controlling
and preventing destruction and damages
by such insects and diseases. At the
last meeting it was decided to go on
with the investigation of the life his-
tory of thrips with the hope that new
facts might be brought out which would
indicate the vulnerable point on which
to attack these insects, which in the
opinion of the committee are causing
more financial loss to the growers of veg-

etables and flowers under glass in the
state of Illinois than any other disease
or insect, or, possibly, than all others put
together, ' '

Mr. Rudd said he could not close his
report without "testifying to the appre-
ciation of the committee of the enthu-
siastic manner in which Dean Daven-
port, Prof. Blair and the officials of the
experiment station have taken up this
work. They are ready and anxious to
push our work in every possible way, but
funds must be provided. This is your
part of the work. When the time for
the next appropriation arrives we must
collectively and individually see to it
that this appropriation is doubled.

* * We want to know how to eradicate
thrips. We want to know how to fight
other insect pests and diseases. We want
to know a whole lot more about fertiliz-
ers, and about soils, and about new
methods of culture. We want to know
whether there are not locations in this
state where bulbs, plants and seeds for
which we now send our good money
abroad can be produced cheaper and bet-
ter. Above all, and beyond all, we want
a great school where our sons and daugh-
ters can be educated into our business
instead of away from it."

Officers Elected.

The election was a part of Wednes-
day 's proceedings. It was the unani-
mous opinion that Albert T. Hey had
made so good a president that his ac-
ceptance of reelection was insisted upon,
and the hospitality of Springfield was
so thoroughly appreciated that the invi-
tation to return in 1909 was accepted.
The other officers elected are: Vice-pres-
ident, George Asmus, Chicago; secretary,
J. F. Ammann, Edwardsville ; treasurer,
F. L. Washburn, Bloomington.

Wednesday's Program.

The program for Wednesday morning
provided for two papers, ' ' Summer Bed-
ding," by Prof. H. C. Irish, of the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden, and "Our Ex-
periment Stations and What We Have
Done," by Prof. A. C. Beal, the latter
covering the work thus far done with
the state's appropriation for floriculture.

-The constitution and by-laws were
amended to conform to legal require-
ments as published. The committee on*
the national flower show recommended
that the association oflfer a special prize,
which was ratified. The judges made a
report, recording the trade exhibits and
commenting favorably upon each.

In the afternon the Ad-men's Associa-
tion of Springfield took the visitors on a
trolley ride to points of local interest
and A. C. Brown and A. C. Canfield pro-
vided conveyances to take all visitors to
their admirably kept and interesting
greenhouse establishments.

The Banquet

The Springfield Florists' Club enter-
tained the visitors at an elaborate ban-
quet in the handsomely decorated dining-
room of the St. Nicholas hotel on the
evening of February 18. Including the
local florists and prominent citizens,
more than 100 were present. When cigars
had been lighted, A. C. Brown intro-
duced Hon. Charles E. Hay as toastmas-
ter. Mr. Hay gave J. Hamilton Lewis,
confessed politician, an opportunity to
display some fully developed specimens
of the flowers of speech before proceed-
ing with the following list of toasts.

am using them for fuel, but want to
know if they are of more value as a fer-

dahlias in the hotbed this spring, put-
ting the clumps from which the young
plants are to be obtained into the hot-
bed early in March. Will cuttings from
these plants grow readily in a coldframe
in sand or in a hotbed with mild heat?
Or ought one to try to start only those
plants that have a heel and are starting
roots when removed from the plant?

J. L. D.

We would not advice you to start the
dahlias so early as the beginning of
March. A month later will be season-
able. Nothing is gained by early propa-
gation or planting of dahlias. The roots
are usually divided soon after being
started and a single shoot left to each.
They root readily from soft cuttings
and those rubbed off with a heel are the
best. Do not try to root these in mold,
but in clean sand with good drainage
below it. If you are not familiar with
the propagation of soft-wooded bedding
stock, it would be better for you to
divide the roots. For home trade or
shipping moderate distances, we think
cuttings are preferable, but for long
distances it is better to use divided roots.
If the plants are for your own use, either
method of propagation will answer.

I referred your query to the chemistry
dei);irtment of the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College at Amherst. Professor
J. B. Lindsey, head of the department,
reports in brief as follows: "Leather
refuse is of little value for fertilizing
purposes, unless it is dissolved in sul-
phuric acid. It requires considerable pa-
tience to do this and I doubt if anyone
would care to attempt it. The ashes
from the leather contain about two per
cent of potash and possibly seven to
eight per cent of lime. I should .iudge
it might be worth for fertilizing pur-
poses about $5 par ton." Professor

Easter Lilies.

Lilies for Easter will need close watch-
ing for the next few weeks. To have this
crop come in exactly on time requires
considerable care, and the florist who
gets nearly all his plants in flower has
every cause to feel elated. Easter prices
are always much higher than those pre-
vailing before and after the great festi-
val, for about everyone who buys a plant
wants an Easter lily. As a general rule,
it is well to see the buds so that they
can be counted forty days before Easter.
Under ordinary conditions the plants will
flower within the time named, if grown
in a sunny house and given a minimum
temperature of 55 degrees. It is always
well to be on the safe side, and if your
plants are a trifle early, do not worry,
for it is an easy matter to move them to
1 a cooler house and retard them, if you

only grow a few hundreds. Even where
thousands are produced, the same moving
around is necessary, for in a large batch
of lilies there will be a difference of
weeks in the flowering of a large pro-
portion of the plants.

Weather conditions have much to do
^yith the forwarding or retarding of
lilies. Do not depend too much on three
weeks of hot, sunny weather in April to
push along your laggard plants. This
month may prove cold and sunless and a
sweating process may be necessary to
flower them. After you 'see the buds,
feeding may be given every fourth or
fifth day. Sheep or cow manure i\-ater is
good; so is guano water. For plants
which are inclined to be yellow, a little
nitrate of soda has a magical effect. Do
not allow aphis to secure any lodgment
on the plants. Either squirt nicotine
juice into the tops of the shoots or drop

tobacco dust over them. Fumigation is
the best of all remedies.

Rambler Roses.

Rambler roses intended for Easter
should now have shoots well developed,
and if you can see the little buds in the
ends by the beginning of March, you are
all right. Give the plants all possible
sunshine. When you syringe, let it be
on a clear, sunny day, so that the foliage
will be dry early in the afternoon. Do
not let mildew make its appearance, or
the plants will soon be ruined. Keep
some flowers of sulphur on the heating
pipes as a preventive. Avoid cold drafts
and a cold, clammy atmosphere. As the
pots are probably a network of roots
where the plants have been growing in
them since last spring, give them some
liquid stimulants. A surfacing of fine
bone, mixed with loam, is also good.
Avoid surfacing with green cow manure,
too often practiced with evil effects.
Plants potted last fall must not be fed
for a while yet, as the roots will not
have become matted in the pots. It is
always well to allow the pink ramblers a
week or ten days longer to develop than
the Crimson Rambler. The latter rose is
becoming somewhat overdone and the
pink plants,, when well done, are in bet-
ter demand at more lucrative prices.

Hybrid Roses.

While the hybrid roses are not grown
to anything like the extent of some years
ago, they make acceptable Easter plants.
It is no easy matter to time them ex-
actly right, as a few warm days will
upset all your calculations, and hybrid
roses, to be really salable, should have
the buds showing color and one or two
expanding. Full-blown ones are not
wanted. You cannot retard these plants
when once in flower, as you can lilies,
azaleas, acacias or many other plants, so
be careful not to get them along too
early. Hybrid roses should be sufficiently
advanced so that the buds will show from
March 10 to 15. The temperature, which
should always be Iott when starting hy-
brid roses, may now be increased to 50
degrees at night, and 5 degrees more
may be added after buds show. Treat-
ment such as recomnicuded for ramblers
will suit them.

Azaleas.

There is no need to rush azaleas along
yet for Easter, for six weeks will suffice
to flower them in. It would be well,
nevertheless, to get them into a cool
house; one kept at 45 degrees at night
will be sufficiently warm. Plants brought
along and flowered in a cool house are
much more lasting and satisfactory than
those subjected to hard forcing. While
red azaleas are in strong call at Christ-
mas, white ones are quite popular at
Easter, pink shades also taking well.

Spiraeas.

Spiraeas or astilbes should all be
started before this time. Not less than
eight weeks should be allowed for even
the common S. Japonica, and the newer
forms take ten to fourteen days longer
to develop. Give them a brisk heat to
start with. Water very liberally; no
other plants 'need so much ; it is almost
impossible to oversupply them. Spread
them out as they grow. You can move
them into a cooler house as the flowers
show color, if you have ample time for
their development.

Rhododendrons.

Similar treatment to that suggested

for azaleas will answer for rhododen-
drons. They can be rushed along in a
forcing house, but such plants will not
keep long enough in bloom and can but
give disappointment to purchasers. The
beautiful variety. Pink Pearl, sold well
a year ago and promises to be again a
leader this season. Its comparative
scarcity and higher price prevent the
average country florist from trying it.
In potting up your rhododendrons, be
sure the balls are well soaked first. Those
potted in a dry state will drop most of
their buds. No amount of watering will
soak a ball which has been potted in a
dust-dry state.

Schizanthus.

The pretty annual, schizanthus, is '
worthy of more extended culture in pots.
It was pleasing to see it in the hands of
a number of progressive florists a year
ago. Its culture is of the simplest and,
as it may be had in flower over all ex-
tended season, 'it' .■wauld> Beetn.*-'to be
worthy of greater attention. /Easter

Gladiolus The Bride. '

Gladiolus The Bride succeeds better
in flats than in benches. It dislikes any-
thing like forcing, but does well grown
in a temperature of 50 degrees at night.
Keep it well up to the light. It prefers

a shelf or a bench without bottom heat.
In a high temperature many of the stems
will rot off at the tops of the bulbs. By
keeping them well aired and in a strong
light, much of this trouble will be over^
come. The variety Blushing Bride is of
more vigorous habit than The Bride and
is well wnrthy a place in every commer-
cial plape' where such flowers are in de-
mand. '.L

ROSES FOR WINTER BLOOMING.

I have an even-span greenhouse, run-
ning east and west, without heat. It has
solid beds, containing the following vari-
eties of roses: White and Pink Cochet,
La France and Kaiserin. These roses are
one year old and bloomed some last
summer. If I heat this house next win-
ter, will these rose bushes be of any
value for blooming during the winter, or
had I better throw them out and put in
the regular forcing roses I If I can use
them, please tell me how to handle them
next summer and fall. H. W. E.

As these roses have never been sub-
jected to heat, if they are in a healthy
condition they should be good subjects
for your purpose. The varieties, how-

ever, are not the best, either for the work
or for marketing of the blooms. It would
be move profitable to throw them out
either in the end of May or beginning of
June, and plant standard varieties for
winter blooming, such as Bride, Maid,
Richmond and Golden Gate.

The proper treatment for your present
stock, to put it into condition for winter
blooming, would be to begin withhold-
ing water in July and continue this for
at least four weeks, keeping the syringe
going and giving abundance of fresh air.
Then prune out all the small wood and
shorten down the strong growths to three
or four eyes. Remove three inches of the
old soil, or as much of it as can be safely
removed without injuring the roots. Give
the surface a sprinkling of air-slaked
lime, and then replace with a mixture of
good loam and well rotted manure, in the
proportions of two parts of loam to one
part of manure. An addition of one
4-inch potful of good bone meal to each
bushel of the compost will be of great

benefit. Give the bench a thorough soak-
ing and keep the house cool and moist
for a couple of weeks. When the leaves
begin to push, gradually resume water-
ing and give ordinary rose treatment.

BiBES.

BEST HARDY ROSES.

What do you consider the best hardy
monthly and ever-blooming varieties of
roses of the following colors: White,
yellow, pink, scarlet, cherry red, crimson,
rose? J. L. D.

The most persistent flowering roses
are, in most cases, a little tender and

should be well earthed up and protected
in winter. If lifted, laid in a trench
and buried, they will come through all
right. Among the hybrid perpetuals,
Mrs. John Laing, soft pink; Mrs. R.
G. Sharman-Crawford, rosy pink; Ul-
rich Brunner, cherry red; General Jac-
queminot, crimson, and John Hopper,
rose, are good summer and autumnal
bloomers. All of these are very hardy.
Among the so-called monthly roses, York
and Lancaster, striped red and white,
and the Centifolia or Cabbage, pale pink,
can be recommended.

A few other roses which are persistent
bloomers are: Baby Rambler, bright
red; Gruss an Teplitz, crimson scarlet;

Hermosa, pale pink; Mme. Georges Bru-
ant, white, and Conrad Ferdinand Mey-
er, pink (these two latter are rugosas
and very vigorous) ; Clothilde Soupert,
white, shaded pink; Blanche Moreau,
white moss; Apolline, pink; Maman Co-
chet, pink; Maman Cochet, white; Cath-
erine Zeimet, a white Baby Rambler;
Mme D. Matrat, yellow; Mme. Gillemot,
yellow. Of the foregoing the yellows
are the least reliably hardy, except the
rugosas and Blanche Moreau. It would
be better to dig and bury the balance
late each fall. I am aware that a num-
ber of the sorts mentioned are often
listed as ironclad, but I have not found
them so. C. W.

CARNATION NOTES— EAST.

Treatment of New Varieties.

The articles in the Annual Carnation
Number of the Review, relating to the
introduction of new varieties, recite the
possible . shortcomings of the dissemi-
nator, and now it would seem proper to
call attention to the treatment which
stock of new arrivals should receive at
the hands of the buyer.

Neglect of proper handling after dis-
semination is, to my mind, responsible
for much of the unsatisfactory behavior
of new introductions. No matter how
much care the disseminator may exercise
to insure honest, vigorous stock being
sent out, unless it is intelligently han-
dled afterwiard, we can expect nothing
but indifferent results.

Promptly on arrival the shipment
should be examined for evidence of frost,
and if such condition exists, each bundle
should be dipped, without unrolling, in
very cold water and then rearranged
loosely in a larger box, in which they
should be carried to a moderately cool
liouse to slowly -thaw. Any dryness at
the root would be remedied in much the
same way, but in all cases unpack at
mce on arrival and allow the cuttings a
few hours to gradually reach a tempera-
ture about the same as that of the prop-
agating house before potting.

Use new soil composed of rotted sod,
without the addition of fertilizer in any
form. Be particular to have this in readi-
ness a few days in advance, so that it
may become warmed to the inside tem-
perature. See that the pots are clean
and, when potted, stand the stock on a
shaded bench which you would take
pleasure in inviting the originator him-
self to inspect for cleanliness. Give suf-
ficient water to moisten the soil to the
'bottom of the pot, and no more.

Remember, these cuttings have been
packed in damp moss and denied the

least ray of light for several days, mak-
ing it reasonable to expect a degree of
softness in growth not present in home-
rooted stock. Therefore extra care must
be taken to protect them from drafts,
lest serious damage result through wilt-
ing.

An Injurious Practice.

A practice which cannot be too se-
verely condemned is that of planting
cuttings in very rich soil to encourage
tall, rapid growth, with a view to making
a cutting from the portion removed at
the first topping. I confess my reluc-
tance in bringing such a matter to your
attention, but it is indulged in to a
greater extent than would on first
thought be supposed. A grower is free,
perhaps, to do as he pleases with stock
bought and paid for, but when he de-
liberately follows a practice which under-
mines the work of another he is in. a
certain sense morally wrong.

Regarding the quantity necessary to
be purchased in order to give a variety
a thorough trial and at the same time be
in a position to propagate for the season
following trial, I would advise arranging
for at least 250 cuttings. If one could
count on growing every one to maturity
and on through the blooming and propa-
gating seasons, a less number might
answer, but there would still remain the
doubt as to whether from among them
sufficient desirable plants could be se-
lected from which to propagate without
resorting to high pressure, or, to borrow
expressions, "chopping down," "massa-
cring, " " using just anything that will
strike roots. ' '

In case one wishes to grow a few for
personal amusement, for hybridizing pur-
poses or to ascertain which of a number
of sorts is best suited to his soil, that is
another matter.

Having never lieen interested finan-
cially in the launching of any new vari-
' ety and writing wholly in the interest of

growers, I feel that what has been
pointed out will not be taken in any sense
as retaliatory or as given in a spirit of
censure. I agree with all that is set
forth in the articles before mentioned.

INDOOR CULTURE.

Will yoii please tell us what tempera-
tures are best suited for the following
varieties of carnations: White Perfec-
tion, Queen, N. Fisher, Enchantress, Vic-
tory and Beacon? We expect to grow
these varieties the coming season and
would like information along that line.
Also, what varieties are best for in-
door culture? E. A. Harvey, in his pa-
per published in the Review of February
6, spoke of using "a stronger and
quicker acting commercial fertilizer, ' '
but does not tell iis what it was. We
wish he would. J. W. M.

The night temperatures best suited to
the varieties you name are as follows:
White Perfection, 52 to 54 degrees; The
Queen, 52 degrees; N. Fisher, 52 to 54
degrees; Enchantress, 50 to 52 degrees;
Victory, 52 degrees; Beacon, 50 to 52
degrees. Of all these I wonld grow onlj
Beacon inside, if at all; personally, I
would grow even that outside.

Do not allow yourself to be carried
away by this idea of indoor culture.
Under certain conditions you will find it
desirable, but when conditions are normal
you will find the field culture preferable.
I say t^is advisedly, knowing that some
will disagree with me. If I had only
my own experience to govern me, I
might hesitate, but I have seen one ex-
pert carnation specialist after another
take up this method with enthusiasm,
only to drop it again and return to the
field method. Perhaps some day we will
have a race of carnations which will re-
quire indoor treatment, but we do not
have it now and I am not sure that

we want it very badly. I do not know
to what kind or brand of commercial fer-
tilizer Mr. Harvey refers, but I am re-
minded of the words of Prof. Galloway
at Washington last month. He advised
against using any of these fertilizers and
in favor of using animal manures, both as
liquids and as mulch. Experience in-
clines me to favor his recommendations.

SOME PROLmC SCARLETS.

We want to know what red carnation
will give the most blooms. A medium
size will suit as well as a fancy.

B. M. G.

We now have three scarlet carnations
between which it is difficult to choose.
In fact, it depends on one's particular
needs as to which one he wants. Victory
will cover the whole season with a fair
average cut of splendid quality. Beacon
is a tremendous midwinter bloomer, and
if you want your crop between December
1 and April 1 this is the one you want.
Red Chief will cover the whole season
with a good heavy cut of medium sized
blooms of splendid color. It will make-
more blooms in the season than either of
the other varieties, but they are smaller
in size. Better try all three and choose
between them. A. F. J. B.

GRADUATING TEMPERATURE.

There is considerable difference of
opinion about the proper degree of tem-
perature for growing carnations. Some
growers say to keep the day tempera-
ture 60 to 65 degrees on bright days,
reduce the temperature to 58 or 60 de-
grees at dark, and gradually reduce to
the proper night temperature for each

written by your experts, covering the
matter of ventilation and temperature
minutely, would be a great help to your
many new subscribers and to any be-
ginners in growing carnations.

W. F. C.

I have heard of these various methods
being practiced and I have no doubt
but that good arguments could be set
forth in favor of either of the two first
named. But how the last mentioned
could be justified is more than I can
understand. So let us consider it first.
It is a well-known fact that extreme
changes in temperature are not desirable
in growing carnations, as they tend to
cause splitting. The idea of regulating
the lemperature.;is not to counteract any-
thing that has gone before, but it is
to give the plant the temperature in
which it will produce the strongest and
healthiest growth. It seems that heat
and light have so much bearing upon
each other that when one is lacking the
supply of the other must be regulated
accordingly. The plant, to do its best,
must have these two elements in proper
proportion. As we cannot regulate the
light, we must confine our efforts almost
entirely to the heat. We know that the
carnation develops the healthiest growth
in a night temperature between 50 and
54 degrees, according to variety. Much
below 50 degrees causes a standstill in
growth, which is not at all desirable,
and, in most cases, is harmful. When
the light becomes stronger as the day
grows, more heat is also wanted and
that is why we have a night temperature
and a higher day temperature.

Just why the temperature should be
lower at midnight than it is at 8 p. m.,
I cannot see, because it is not darker

variety by midnight — 50 to 54 degrees
— and keep it there until the outside
temperature 1)egins to rise, say, after
8 or 9 a. m. Other growers reduce
to night temperature soon after dark
and try to keep it there until after day-
light, "while others 'allow the tempera-
ture to go down several degrees below
usual night temperature after 4 o 'clock
in the morning. We believe an article

at that time. And why the night tem-
perature should not prevail by 8 p. m.,
or even before, I cannot see, either. I
do not see, either, why the night tem-
perature should prevail until the outside
temperature begins to rise in the morn-
ing. Suppose the outside temperature
does not rise? It seems to me as being
entirely a case of supplying heat in pro-
portion to the strength of the light.

I do, however, advise changing from the
one temperature to the other gradually,
letting the change consume about three
hours each time. When the light be-
gins to fade in the late afternoon, begin
to let the temperature drop, so that by
dark you have your plants in the night
temperature. Do the same way in the
morning. When the day begins to break,
begin raising the temperature, and by
the time the daylight is full — which will
vary according to the weather and time
of year — you will hkve the day tem-
perature prevailing. Then, if the day
is bright, let the sun raise the tem-
perature as much higher as you want
it above the cloudy day temperature,
and open the vents to prevent too much
rise. It seems to me that this is the most
rational and sensible method, unless I
am entirely wrong on the light and heat
proposition. A. F. J. B,

TRIMMING CUTTINGS.

Where is the best place to cut car-
nation cuttings, at the joint or between
joints, when they are broken from the
stalk? W. U.

The young shoots used for cuttings
should be so short-jointed that there is
really no stem between the joints. When
cutting at the base, merely make a
clean cut wherever it may have severed
from the plant and remove enough of
the lower leaves to make a stem suffi-
cient to insert in the sand. Roots
will form equally well wherever the cut
is made. Heel cuttings, however, will
usually root a little more quickly than
those taken from farther out.

HOUSE OF ENCHANTRESS.: ,

Warren S. Garland, at Des Plaines,
111., has had especial success in the house
shown in the accompanying illustration,
from a photograph made February 1.
Last year this house was pictured in the
Review with a phenomenal crop of Law-
son. This season Mr. Garland planted it
to Enchantress and, beginning along in
January, he has had fully as large a crop
as a year ago, when Lawson was the va-
•riety. The quality is excellent and the
house is returning big money in spite of
the fact that in the last three weeks En-
chantress has sold cheaper than ever be-
fore at this season in the Chicago mar-
ket. Percy Jones is Mr. Garland's sell-
ing agent.

POTTING CARNATION CUTTINGS.

Do the large carnation growers pot the
rooted carnation cuttings from sand, or
do they plant them in soil? J. A. W.

It cannot be said that any one method
of handling young carnations is prac-
ticed generally by all the large growers.
In fact, you will find that many of them
have ideas of their own on this sub-
ject and their method varies from that
of others accordingly. In handling the
young stock strict attention to detail
is of greater importance than method,
though of course a good method is very
desirable. A method which is practiced
by many large growers, and which we
consider about the best we have ever
tried, is to pot the young cuttings from
the sand into 2-inch or 2^4-inch pots
and, when well established, plant them
four inches apart in three inches of soil
on a bench. We like this planting on
the liench better than shifting into 3-
inch pots, because in the spring the pots

are plunged. But by all means pot from

the plants from the field for housing,

J. D. COCKCEOFT'S PLANT.

For several years the up-to-date Long
Island establishment of J, D. Cockcroft
has been attracting the attention of car-
nation growers because of the seedlings
which have originated there and which
have made a place for themselves in the
New York wholesale cut flower market.
Traendly & Schenck are the selling agents
for Mr. Cockcroft and say that his Har-
vard is the best crimson carnation they
ever have handled. It is exactly, the
shade of the colors of the university for
which it is named. It is a seedling of
Maceo and Prosperity, and Mr. Cockcroft
says it has the free blooming qualities
of one parent, with the size and stem of
the other. He has been growing it for
four years with the best of success. Har-
vard and another seedling, named Faust,
are to be sent out from Northport this
year. The latter is scarlet, a cross of
Crane, of old-time popularity, and Mrs.
Lawson. The flowers are of only medium
size but excellent form and in growth
the plants are strong and healthy. Mr.
Cockcroft says the variety is especially
good for Christmas, because it comes
into bloom ,early.

Another Prosperity seedling which
takes the eye of every visitor is Georgia,
a large, fringed, white variety, a house
of which is shown in one of the accom-
panying illustrations. Mr. Cockcroft is
figuring on sending out stock of this
variety in the season of 1908-9.

There are a number of other promising
seedlings in this establishment, which is
one of the largest devoted to carnation
growing for the New York market. The
accompanying illustration shows the
plant, two negatives having been neces-
sary to show all the houses. The latest
structures are iron-frame and 33x156
feet. Hot water heat is used and a
Kroescheli boiler found its way from
Chicago to Northport to do 'duty here.
Mr. Cockcroft is a progressive florist and
a thorough business man. His place is
kept in the best of shape and is ojie from
which the writer always carries a favor-
able impression. H. O.

EFFECT OF EXCESSIVE HEAT.

tions of a night temperature of 62 to
65 degrees, maintained for eight nights

before Christmas, and how long would
any bad effects be likely to last?

A. T. G.

Just how serious the effects of such
treatment would prove would, of course,
depend very largely on the condition of
the plants at the beginning and the
general treatment during that time and
since. However, I would not expect a
very high grade of culture from a grow-
er who abuses his stock in such a man-
ner. If this temperature was accom-
panied with a good deal of ventilation,

the blooms and the growth would be-
come softened somewhat and the blooms
would have come smaller. Bursting of
the calyxes would also follow in a con-
siderable percentage of the blooms. But
a few weeks of sane treatment would
l)ring them around again in fair shape.
Under certain conditions, however, like
(lark weather, no ventilation, overwater-
ing, overfeeding, etc., the plants could
be ruined, as far as good blooms are
concerned, for the rest of the winter.
The spring growth would, of course, come
better again. A. F. J. B.

TROUBLE WITH EARLY TULIPS.

I have mailed you today several sam-
ples of tulips that I have trouble with.
The bulbs were of good size; I planted
them at the same time I planted the
Paper Whites and Von Sions, in the same
soil, and gave them all the same treat-
ment and same protection against frost,
and still the tulips are a failure. They
had a night temperature of 50 to 55 de-
grees ahd 60 to 65 degrees in the day
time, cjxactly the same as the Paper
Whites, Von Sions and Eomans. The
samples' I pulled out of the soil and con-
sequently some of the roots have been
broken pflf. C. L.

The samples received were certainly
sickly ones. Are you quite sure that
your tulips had plenty of water, not only
just after being planted, but later? Many
bulb failures are directly traceable to too
little water. A good many growers still
cling to the idea that if they give a good
soaking at planting time, no mor^e is
needed until the bulbs are housed for
forcing. There could be no greater mis-
take. Dutch bulbs should be kept moist
at the root. They start to root imme-
diately after being potted or boxed, and
if you expect the initial watering to
carry them along for the matter of three

elaborate and expensive. I would rec-
ommend one by William Watson, Kew,
England, as an inexpensive and useful
book. Williams ' * ' Orchid Manual " is
another good work. Each of these is
well illustrated. The latter is also an
English work. Bailey 's ' ' Cyclopedia pf
American Horticulture" contains an ex-
haustive and practical article on orchid
culture, and the needs of the various
genera will be found alphabetically ar-
ranged in this work and in Nicholson's
"Dictionary of Gardening."

SPRING STOCK.

With the lengthening days we are re-
minded that it becomes imperative to
turn our attention to the bedding stock,
although- as yet it is rather early for
many items. Geraniums that have be-
come leggy may be topped and the cut-
tings rooted. If the fall struck plants
have been wintered in 2^4 -inch or 2^/^-
inch pots, as soon as they have broken
again they are fit for a shift into a 3l^-
inch or 4-inch. Let your soil for pot-
ting be stony ; too large stones throw out,
but pot firmly, to induce stocky growth.
Unless you intend to specialize, do not
have too many varieties. A representa-
tive dark red, white, salmon, pink and

pots and water freely; they will root in
a remarkably short time. For quantity,
St. Katherine and Cycle throw cuttings
very freely. Mrs. W. Slack, Mrs. Lang-
try, Mrs. Gladstone, John Bennett, Uncle
Tom, Ard Patrick and Keyne's White
make a large bunch with a few blooms,
besides being a good assortment of colors.

The heliotropes and verbenas may be
started up, not forgetting the lemon-
scented variety, Aloysia citriodora. Have
a look around the greenhouses; the sight
of a plant often suggests possibilities.
The red and variegated tradescantia, pos-
sibly forgotten since last summer, or the
Saxifraga sarmentosa, and a few dilapi-
dated-looking Eex begonias, if they have
been worth keeping, are worth attention.

Hydrangea cuttings, taken as soon as
the plants commence growth, will flower
during the summer. For a comparative
novelty, try Kochia tricophylla, or sum-
mer cypress, easily raised from seed.
These sell readily in 6-inch. An occa-
sional trim with the scissors keeps them
symmetrical.

The old-fashioned musk, Mimulus mo-
schatus, some people's abomination, still
finds favor with a good many. Seed may
be sowu now, very thinly. It is some time
before the seedlings are large enough to
prick off into flats. This should be done

Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 11, 1908.

You may diBcontinue my advertisement for awhile, as I have all
the orders I can fill for about two months.

The little advertisement in the Review helped to get them, and
I am very well satisfied with the results.

Geo. a. Swope, Flower Pot Manufacturer.

What Classified Advertising does for one, it will do for another

months, when they are making masses of
roots, failure only can result.

The Romans, Paper Whites and Von
Sions are French bulbs and g^ow much
more speedily than the tulips, preferring
also quarters a trifle warmer in the early
stages of growth. The fact that they
need covering with cinders, loam or other
material but a short time, if at all, gives
opportunities to water them, which the
tulips no doubt sorely need. We incline
to the opinion that dryness at the root
is the cause of the tulips doing so
poorly. Perhaps your soil looked moist,
but was in reality far too dry for them.
Dutch bulbs, if in well drained pots, pans
or flats and placed where water will not
stand, are not likely to be injured by
too much water at the roots. C. W.

BOOK ON ORCHIDS.

I would like to ask the name of the
best book devoted to the cultivation of
orchids. I have never grown them and
would like to read up a little. Just a
plain, practical treatise is what I want,
something a fellow not a college graduate
can understand. L. H.

Quite a number of works have been
pi;l) ished on orchids. Some are very

bright red are for ordinary usage suffi-
cient.

If you are short of coleus stock, prop-
agating may be commenced. If infested
with mealy bug, carefully destroy by
hand at once, as it is much easier to
eradicate this pest when your stock is
low than it would be later.

Fuchsias plunged in heat and syringed
several times a day soon break readily,
and cuttings taken off when there are
three or four pairs of leaves root readily
in 60 to 65 degrees. These should be
cut off, and not torn off, as by cutting
one can leave a small portion of the new
break that will break again and give
more cuttings. Fuchsias do not root very
readily in hot weather; therefore early
propagation is advisable. This also ap-
plies to marguerites. Both of these, if
once allowed to flag, take a great deal
longer to strike, if indeed they root at
all. . Sheets of newspaper placed over
the bench, after having sprinkled the
cuttings in the morning, assist greatly.

In regard to those few old dahlia roots
you contemplated spli^ang up: Put them
into a greenhouse a little later on; just
cover the roots with soil, only leave the
base of the old stem clear, and after a
short interval they will give you lots of
cuttings. Pot them straight into 3-inch

separately and not in clumps. Take cut-
tings off the seedlings, putting about six-
teen into a 3% -inch pot, and water lib-
erally, thrips being very partial to musk.

Panicum variegata is very useful in
conjunction with tradescantia for basket
work. A few echeverias stuck in the
moss through the wire help to hide the
bareness of the basket when viewed from
below. Isolepis gracilis makes for variety
and the variegated vinca should not be
forgotten. The blue lobelia, although
best from cuttings, can be grown from
seed and requires early attention. Do not
let it grow so that a bunch of flowers
hangs over the side of the pot; snip it
off with the scissors and keep it level. In
a 5-inch pot, well done, this looks superb.

There is as yet plenty of time before
the bulk of seeds need be sown, such as
stocks, asters, zinnias, salvias, pyrethrum,
sweet alyssum, marigolds, Cobsea scan-
dens, nasturtiums, etc., but attention
might fvell be paid to the other items
mentioned. Ferns and their ally, selagi-
nella, sell readily during the early days of
spring and summer. Numerous tasteful
and effective comoinations are possible,
both for basket and dish work, and to
those thirsting for novelty the field pos-
sesses almost endless variety.

THE READERS' CORNER.

A Good PropagaUnc Bench.

There appears in "Seasonable Sugges-
tions," in the Review for February 13,
the oft-repeated instruction to put gera-
niums into soil in 2-inch pots, as a better
way than to root them in sand. Our ex-
perience is not extensive, but we succeed
better with the sand. We can safely say
that with our potted cuttings this winter
we have lost ten per cent, while with
those in the sand we have lost le&s than
three per cent.

As we have what we think is a very
good propagating bench, I will describe
it. We built a new house last fall, run-
ning it right over the boiler-pit. We
built our propagating bench directly over
the boiler, with the floor of the bench
thirty inches above the floor over the
boiler-pit. The bench is five feet wide.
Across the frame of the bench, on three
supports, are laid old buggy tire irons,
just far enough apart for the ends of the
brick to meet on them. On these irons
we laid a floor of smooth, even sized
brick and slushed the joints with thin
lime mortar. Around this we put a 6-
inch board, and filled in with medium
coarse sand. We left one board out of
the floor that covers the boiler-pit, just
over the boiler and under the bench.
This gives us a temperature of about 65
degrees in the sand. We purpose enclos-
ing the bench between the two floors,
which will give us a higher temperature.

Our geraniums are exposed to the sun
and are not shaded at any time.

W. N. Tharp.

GODD FLOWERING CLIMBER.

I am anxious to find a few hardy flow-
ering shrubs that would be suitable to
grow as climbing plants in Montana. We
have tried several, such as hop vines and
others on the same order, but have had
no luck with them. It is true that we
are far north, have a severe winter and
usually have no spring until the middle
of May. I wonder if clematis would do?

A. C. W.

You could have nothing better than
Clematis paniculata. It is a rapid
grower, soon covering a trellis. Its
glossy, dark green foliage is beautiful in
itself, and 'during late summer the pro-
fusion of starry, fragrant flowers almost
hides the leaves. It will grow in any
situation. It dies to the ground in a
very severe climate, but this is imma-
terial, as the shoots springing from the
ground soon cover all space allowed them.
Protect slightly the first winter; after-
ward it will care for itself.

Rose Crimson Rambler will withstand
20 degrees below zero. If your tempera-
ture runs lower than this, lay the plants
down early in the winter and throw some
straw or soil over them. The climbing
honeysuckles, or loniceras, also the wis-
tarias and bignonias, are handsome, but
less hardy than the other two sorts
named. C. W.

Baltimore, Md. — M. Thau states that
February 3 he made a lease of The Fern-

Pekin, III. — George A. Kuhl has

Charles Henry Fox.

CHARLES HENRY FOX.

The name of Fox is as closely identi-
fied with the advancement of floriculture
in Philadelphia today as it was with the
reform in English politics, which did so
much to secure American independence a
century and a quarter ago. In the latter
case it was Charles James Fox, who, with
Burke, battled in the House of Commons
for the cause of freedom. In the former
case it is, as the Review readers know,
Charles Henry Fox who is striving to
secure a better appreciation of true art
in the arrangement of flowers.

Charles Henry Fox is the son of
Charles Fox, one of the best known and
most respected members of our profes-
sion. Charles Fox secured his early train-
ing with Karl Milller, one of our most
famous spring plant growers, doing busi-
ness on the extreme outskirts of West
Philadelphia. From there the senior Mr.
Fox went to Robert Buist, the well-known
seedsman. Later Mr. Fox joined forces
with Hugh Graham, Sr. Mr. Graham
had a few greenhouses on the ground at
the rear of his residence at Eighteenth
and Thompson streets, and there the
start of the new enterprise was made.
Some years later, in 1883, Mr. Fox
started on his own account at Broad and
Master streets, where there were four
or five small greenhouses at the rear of
the store and dwelling. Here his son,
Charles Henry Fox, started with him. A
few years later Mr. Fox, Sr., sold this
property and moved to his present loca-
tion at 1307 North Broad street, where
he has a fine store, with a conservatory
and second-story greenhouse in the rear.

Mr. Fox, Sr., sent his son, Charles
Henry, to Trenton for his apprentice-

ship in the nursery and greenhouse busi-
ness of C. Ribsam & Sons. After a little
over a year there, Charles Henry Fox re-
turned to Philadelphia to go into busi-
ness with his father. Seven years later
he opened a store at Twenty-first street
and Columbia avenue. This business has
prospered and today the store is one of
the busiest in the northern section of the
city. Mr. Fox noticed that the depart-
ment store idea of bargain sales was be-
coming increasingly popular and he was,
1 think, the first to introduce this idea
into our business, establishing plant bar-
gain sales at his Columbia avenue store.
His plan was to buy entire blocks of a
certain variety of plants for cash and
then oflFer them at attractive prices.

Mr. Fox was, however, not satisfied
with this kind of business. He aimed
!it something higher than mere business
success, and in the fall of 1903 he opened
an English flower shop on the old Dun-
dash place, on the west side of Broad
street, just north of Walnut street.
When this property was sold to make
room for the Arcade building, Mr. Fox
moved a block farther south, but his
shop has remained as first designed, an
English flower shop, with all its appoint-
ments substantial and in the best taste.
This shop was "The Sign of the Rose,"
described in the Review of October 17,
1907, and two following issues. Review
readers are familiar with some of Mr.
Fox 's ideas in floral arrangements which
have appeared each week since then, and
his unique ideas are greatly appreciated.

Results bring advertising.
The Review^ brings results.

The mid-February glut of carnations
appears to have been general, reaching
to all the large markets of the country.

Inquiry is made for someone who can
furnish Henri Jacoby geraniums. A
classified advertisement. will bring busi-
ness to anyone who has the stock.

The second spring exhibition of the
St. Louis Horticultural Society will be
held in the Masonic Temple, March 10
to 12. A list of premiums has been is-
sued.

There is not a word of complaint as
to the state of business in the agricul-
tural communities and the prospect for
a fine spring trade is causing hundreds
of florists in the cities and villages of
the middle west each to prepare to build
another house or two next summer.

The introducers of new carnations say
the growers are not taking hold of the
novelties this season with the interest
that has run up the big sales of new
sorts in the last few years. As a result,
it will be all the more profitable for
those who get in early on the good
things.

Those who do a considerable business
in rooted cuttings of carnations say that
White Perfection is the best seller, it
being impossible to supply the demand.
White Enchantress is second choice.
Beacon and Victory both are big sellers
and Winsor is called for in quantity. But
the man who is propagating Flora Hill
and Joost is not very busy with shipping.

Fuchsias, those good old favorites of
by-gone days, are coming back to delight
us once more. We may never again see
such magnificent specimens as the mem-
ories of our apprenticeship days call viv-
idly to view, but we can have fuchsias
just the same, without being considered
old-fashionoil. There are on nearly every
place one or more spots, just a trifle
shaded, where fuchsia.s would thrive and
delight the eye as nothing else would.
For window boxes, if placed in suitable
situations, fuchsias are admirably
adapted.

When advertisers receive orders for
stock which can not be shipped immedi-
ately, the le;a8t they can do is to acknowl-
edge receipt of the order, stating the
day shipment will be made.

The horticultural traders of Great
Britain, under the leadership of George \
Monro, of Covent Garden, London, are
endeavoring to secure from British rail-
ways recognition of the importance of
their traffic, better service being more
desired than lower charges, although
these are high.

Hardly a week passes at this season
without the report of one or more wagon-
loads of plants, and frequently the ve-
hicles themselves, being destroyed by
fires caused by the oil stoves used to keep
out the frost. It would be much cheaper
to buy an accident-proof wagon heater,
like the Lehman — and there are others,
only our trade does not know them, as
they have not been advertised in the
Review.

NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Correspondents of the Review are in-
structed to use the wires of the Postal
Telegraph Co., whenever possible, and
advertisers and others are requested to
do so when telegraphing to the Review.

ILLINOIS EMBLEMS.

By act of legislature it has been de-
creed : ' ' That the native oak tree be, and
the same hereby is recognized and de-
clared to be the native state tree of the
state of Illinois; and that the native vio-
let be, and the same hereby is recognized
and declared to be the native state flower
of the state of Illinois."

THE DEATH ROLL.

Merton M. Green.

Merton M. Green died in Louisville,
Ky., February 8, of pneumonia. He was
born in Hamilton, Madison county, N. Y.
In 1854 he removed to Louisville, and
some time afterward was in the florists'
trade for a while at Fourth avenue and
Green street.

Robert Petrie.

Robert Petrie, who had recently pur-
chased the business of H. Gresens, in
Alameda, Cal., died of heart failure Feb-
ruary 6. Mr. Petrie was 29 years of
ago and had resided in Fruitvale, Cal.,
for several years before removing to
Alameda. G.

William Adels.

William Adels, who was one of the
most popular young men in the trade at
St. Louis, died February 11, aged 35
years. He had for several years been
with Mrs. M. M. Ayers, the retail florist,
and was skilled in his branch of our
work. He leaves a widow and one child.

Robert Mann.

Robert Mann, the pioneer florist of
Lansing, Mich., died January 6. He was
born in Ipswich, Mass., January 23,
1831. Early in life he removed to Mich-
igan, and at one time lived in Hills-
dale, where he joined the Masonic order.
In 1857 he married Miss Alice Clark, of
Jonesville, Mich. About eight years
later they made their home in Lansing,
and Mr. Mann engaged in the green-
house business near thp Washington ave-
nue bridge. Afterward he bought other
property on Washington avenue, south.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

The St. Valentine's business served to
give the wholesale market renewed
strength, for the volume of sales was
quite satisfactory, considering the de-
pression which had existed for more than
a week before this new floral holiday.
While large quantities of stock were
moved, prices did not advance greatly,
because of the large supply in practi-
cally every line except roses. The quan-
tity of violets sold was something tre-
mendous. Practica^y every retailer made
some special effort in the way of window
decorations of heart-shaped and other

boxes of flowers and business done at
retail also was satisfactory.

In the days following February 14 the
market weakened again, but large quan-
tities of stock were moved at fairly satis-
factory prices. Carnations continued in
large supply in spite of the change to
colder weather. Prices, however, were
not in the demoralized condition of the
first of last week.

While some growers have had fair
crops of roses, others have not yet begun
to cut heavily and the demand has been
good. Beauties are especially scarce and
there was a sharp advance in prices last
week, because of the impossibility of fill-
ing orders. Buyers have been glad to
pay $6 for Beauties which a month ago
were freely offered at $3, with further
concessions to large buyers.

The season of bulbous stock seems only
fairly under way, for receipts increase
steadily. Tulips are of much improved
quality, but they have no special salabil-
ity. All bulbous stock is cheap and it is

no wonder that the bulb salesmen from
Holland, who now are so numerous in
town, find the buyers slow to place or-
ders.

Violets continue to arrive in large
quantities and there is every prospect
that there will be more from week to
week as the season advances. Word from
Bhinebeck is that Chicago not only can
have all the violets that are called for,
but a few extra boxes, other markets
being even worse than Chicago on this
specialty.

There are large quantities of sweet
peas received daily. The good ones sell
fairly well, but the short stock is hard to
move.

The market for greens continues on its
even way.

Chicago at Springfield.

The main Chicago party had a special
car on the Illinois Central February 17
for the trip to the state convention. The
city was well represented, the following
being present : George Asmus, J. S. Wil-
son, Adolph Poehlmann, N. J. Rupp,
George Garland, Wni. L. Kroeschell,
Leonard Kill, R. S. Woodhouse, W. N.
Rudd, P. J. Foley, H. B. Howard, J. E.

Qub Meeting.

If the Chicago Florists' Club keeps up
for the year the pace it struck on the
evening President Leonard Kill first oc-
cupied the chair, the members will owe
special recognition to H. N. Bruns, to
whose insistence the nomination of Mr.
Kill was due. The attendance February
13 was nearly forty and the interest
keen.

President Kill announced his commit-
tees as follows:

Finance — H. N. Bruns, Wm. Kidwell,
George .Asmus.

Sports — Phil Schupp, F. Lautenschla-
ger, George Asmus.

Transportation — F. F. Benthey, E. C.
Amling, A. C. Spencer.

Good of the Club— T. E. Waters, Ed
Enders, H. B. Howard.

The finance committee reported having
audited the books, finding a balance of
$349.35 in the treasury.

Applications for membership were re-
ceived from W. E. Hennig, J. J. Kruch-
ten, John Schillo, H. Schiller, H. C.
Lenington and J. H. Pepper.

A. H. Poehlmann reported on the plans
for the national rose show at the Art In-
stitute March 25 to 27 and read a long
list of donors of special premiums. The

club voted to give a banquet to the vis-
itors to the show.

J. S. Wilson, Andrew Benson and W.
L. Palinsky were appointed to score a
vase of Fritz Bahr's new carnation, Lu-
cille, a beautiful flower on the order of
Prosperity, of which it is said to be a
seedling, but of *a totally different color,
all the pink being in the shape of a flush
at the base of the petal. This was ex-
hibited by the E. F. Winterson Co. and
scored eighty-five points, entitling it to
a certificate.

A. C. Beal, of Urbana, secretary of
the State Florists' Association, was
present and spoke for a good attendance
at Springfield this week.

Easter Lilies.

Peter Sroczyniski, who perhaps will
be more easily recognizable as "Big
Pete," says that he has been about
among the lily forcers north and west of
town and finds a general complaint as to
the quality of bulbs. Practically every
grower who is forcing multiflorum for
Easter has a large loss, which Big Pete
estimates at fifty per cent; in his own
case it was more than sixty per cent.
Part of this is due to disease in the bulbs
and part to the bulbs being double-nosed
and triple-nosed. Where a bulb throws
three grass-like shoots, it is not worth
the space it takes up. The loss in the
giganteums is not over ten per cent and
Big Pete says that next season he will
not be in the lily business unless he can
get giganteum bulbs.

Long Distance Phone.

The long distance telephone is coming
more and more into use for ordering cut
flowers from this market. Since the tel-
egraph companies increased their rates it
is cheaper in many cases to phone than
it is to telegraph, if an answer is re-
quired; besides, it is decidedly more sat-
isfactory. One day last week a visitor
to one wholesale house went on because
his chat with the proprietor was inter-
rupted by a call from Buffalo and, step-
ping in next door, he found the whole-

saler talking with St. Louis. Nearby
towns use the telephone almost exclu-
sively for ordering.

Various Notes.

Weiland & Risch have secured a piece
of land adjoining their plant at Evans-
ton and the prospect is that a good sized
range of rose bouses will go up as soon
as they can work the ground. It is in-
tended to increase the planting of Kil-
larney and cut down on Bridesmaid at
this place,

Peter Reinberg has concluded to make
the campaign for reelection to the city
council again this spring.

N. J. Rupp, of the John C. Moninger
Co., spent last week visiting prospective
greenhouse builders in northern Illinois
and Iowa.

Zech & Mann say roses are selling first-
rate and that they are lucky in having
three growers, each cutting good crops:
Albert Lies, of Niles Center; Damm
Bros., and Emil Kroll.

J. A. Budlong will next season plant
two houses with White Perfection and
White Enchantress.

Robert Johnstone, with Vaughan &
Sperry, was called to Nunda, 111., on the
evening of February 15 by the sad news
that his mother, well advanced in years,
was dying.

At E. C. Amling 's. they were especially
fortunate last week in having a fair
quantity of good Beauties, one sale being
made as high as $7.50 per dozen.

At E. H. Hunt's they say the locally
grown Marie Louise violets sold for $1
per hundred at Valentine's day without
satisfying the demand.

E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros.
Co., says that in his estimation the whole-
sale florists should be well pleased with
the volume of business now being done.
In Mr. Pieser 's opinion the flower busi-
ness is better than general business.

An attraction at Winterson 's last week
was the vase of twenty-five blooms of
Fritz Bahr's carnation, Lucille, which
was shown at the Florists' Club's last
meeting. It is a magnificent flower and

shows up particularly well under artifi-
cial light.

Bassett & Washburn have a white
sport of the Eallarney rose of which they
intend to work up as much stock as pos-
sible for another season.

August Poehlmann says that the
Poehlmann Bros. Co. has every reason to
be pleased with the season's business.
December did not give quite the returns
expected, but January was twelve per
cent ahead of last year and February is
making a good record in spite of low
prices, because of the large volume' of
sales.

Remember that Saturday, February
22, is a legal holiday, with only one mail
delivery. If you want stock from the
Chicago market, telegraph your orders
that day.

Mrs. F. Beu is making preparations
for St. Patrick's day. For several years
she has sold a steadily increasing quan-
tity of her carnation dye.

Scheiden & Schoos, at Evanston, have
in the sand, or just potted up, 25,000
cuttings of a seedling carnation raised
by Joseph Schoos. It is a cross of Law-
son and Enchantress and they think so
well of it that they are going into it
heavily for next season. The color is
fine pink and the flower is large and well
formed. The stem is long and strong
and there are few splits. They intend to
exhibit it and possibly disseminate it in
the trade next season.

N. J. Wietor says that most of the
buyers of carnation cuttings have got
over the idea of early delivery, unless it
be of novelties. He says that it is March
1 before the cutting business really be-
gins with them, and they have a large
trade in this line.

George Reinberg is cutting a large
crop of sweet peas.

C. W. McKellar says that the cattleya
crop is off and orchid prices are ad-
vancing.

The Mrs. Marshall Field rose is still
giving a good account of itself at Peter
Reinberg 's.

Among the week's visitors were Will

Breitmeyer, of Detroit, and one of the
Heinl brothers, of Jacksonville; also H.
S. Morton, of Rockford, 111.

failed to stimulate buying, and large
quantities of flowers are either unsold
each day or cleared at absurdly low
prices. Roses, which have held up very
well, owing to their comparative scarcity,
are now going down with the rest. The
best grades are selling fairly well, but
the cheaper ones are down in the dumps.
Carnations were surely never so hard

to sell in February. Some select flow-
ers may bring $3 per hundred, a few
possibly more, but $1 is a fair price
on good flowers and 50 cents is as much
as large quantities are bringing, even
lower figures than this being taken to
clear out by growers. The quality of
carnations was never better and this
is the first time for years that they
have been so unsalable. Violets are
not quite so plentiful among the left-
overs and are selling tolerably well. They
are the same price as a week ago.

Some good sweet peas bring fair
prices, but common grades bring very
little. Lilies and callas are down with
the rest. One grower disposed of his
longiflorums at $2 per hundred, surely
!i ruinous price. Of course, this low
price was exceptional. Prices in all
other flowers are very erratic. Bulbous
stock is not in many cases bringing the
initial cost of the bulbs. La Reine
tulips and double Von Sion narcissi
at $10 per thousand cannot be profitable
for the growers. Plant trade is quiet
and conditions are not very roseate, al-
though a change in the tide, it is hoped,
may soon come.

Horticultural Society.

.Fohn Dunbar, of Rochester, N. Y., de-
livered an able lecture on "Conifers for
the Home Grounds" at Horticultural
hall, February 15. Mr. Dunbar brought
along small branches of many evergreens
to illustrate his remarks. He was asked
what he considered the best time to trans-
plant evergreens. The lecturer stated
that he thought spring just when the
buds were starting, and the end of Aug-
gust during moist weather, the two
periods when transplantation could b©
done with the least loss, but he had
moved them sucessfully in midwinter
and about every month in the year. He
prefers propagation in boxes of sand in
November, where this method of increase
has to be adopted. Cuttings three \o
four inches long are sufficiently large
and a temperature of 40 to 45 degrees
I is about right.

February 22 being Washington's birth-

date. February 29 Robert Craig, of
Philadelphia, will speak on the private
gardener.

The spring flower show will take place
March 20 to 23, and promises to be
unusually large and attractive. There
will be eight concerts furnished by an
orchestra.

Various Notes.

Remember the meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club February 25.
i^uite a number of visitors from a dis-
tance are coming to enjoy carnation
night, and exhibits promise to be nu-
merous, especially of novelties.

The executive committee of the Gar-
deners ' and Florists ' Club has fixed upon
March 25 as the date of the annual
concert and dance, to be held in Horti-
cultural hall. There will be no banquet,
but refreshments will be served.

Robert Cameron lectured at Melrose
February 10 on "Annuals and Bien-
nials," and will speak on the same topic
at Newport, February 25.

William McCormiek, brother of J. J.
McCormick, the Maiden florist, died Feb-
ruary 13, at the age of 53. He had been
with his brother for some time at
balden.

Joseph Fuller, of Leominster, is send-
ing in some remarkably fine longiflorum
lilies, which William Aylward is han-
dling at Park Street market.

Charles J. O'Brien, of Jamaica Plain,
as usual, has La Reine tulips and Gold-
en Spur narcissi of splendid quality.

In common with other sections of the
country, we have experienced some vicis-
situdes of climate this month. Febru-

ary 8 we had the coldest day of the
/f winter, with the temperature below zero
and the wind blowing a gale. February
15 gave us drenching rain, driven by a
south wind, and a temperature of 60
degrees.

Chatenay roses from Exeter Rose Con-
servatories, Exeter, N. H., are again no-
table for their size and remarkable
stems.

At the Park Street market exhibition,
February 29, there will be numerous ex-
hibits from a distance and all available
space will be called into requisition.

J. R. M. L. Farquhar lectured at Well-
esley, February 12, on ' ' Italian Gar-
dens. ' '

Welch Bros, say: "Considering the
depressed condition of the flower trade
at present, we find things are not so
bad with our house. We have been
able to sell all our goods at fair prices so
far, although our growers have increased
their supplies materially this year."

Savannah, Ga. — A. C. Oelschig & Sons

Rugby, N. D. — N. P. Lindberg, pro-

that he lost a house of roses last fall on
account of the non-arrival of building
material, which the manufacturers prom-
ised to deliver in August but which was
not on hand till the first part of Novem-
ber. Copsequently the roses were frozen.
The other stock, including the carnations,

The Market

Roses are scarce and the demand is
strong. There have been few American
Beauties in this market. Carnations are
more plentiful, but 'sell readily at good
prices. The sales on cut Easter lilies axe
good and none go to waste.

Daffodils are plentiful, selling at 3
cents wholesale and 75 cents per dozen
retail. Narcissi are not so plentiful at
present and Romans are also somewhat
scarce. Dutch hyacinths are now making
their first appearance. This market has
been supplied with more cyclamen this
year than in the last three years alto-
gether. They meet with ready sales at
fair prices.

The last week there has been a great
call for azaleas and there has not been
enough to fill the demand. The cause
seems to be that the early ones are gone
and the late varieties are not in yet. Be-
sides, some are holding them for Easter.

Primroses in pots sell well. Daffodils
in pots and pans are in good demand.
The 50-cent and 75-cent pans sell best.

Tulips are not yet very plentiful and
are selling at 75 cents per dozen.

Various Notes.

A. F. Barbe is cutting some extra fine
white snapdragons. He has the greater

ers. He is very successful with them.

The Market.

The wholesale commission men report
tlie cut flower market in a very satisfac-
tory condition the last week, as far as
the supply was concerned, but prices
were not so satisfactory, as they were
up one day and down the next. They also
claim that the retailers must have had
plenty of funeral work to do, as white
stock of all kinds sold pretty clean every
day last week, while of colored stock
there was plenty left after the morning
sales were over. On Monday, February
17, there were not any too many cut
flowers in the market, and clean-up sales
were reported.

On St. Valentine's day a large sup-
ply of violets came in and the price
dropped from $7.50 per thousand to $5.

On Sunday the price fell to $2.50 per
thousand.

Eoscs are in good demand and the
stock is limited in all grades. Carna-
tions are of good quality and the sup-
ply is good, especially in white and En-
chantress colors. All kinds of fine bulb-
ous stock are to be had in quantity and
at reasonable prices. Tulips are fine,
as are also valley and Paper Whites.
Smilax, asparagus and ferns have excel-

Qub Meeting.

The carnation meeting held by the
local club Thursday afternoon, February
13, was voted a great success. The at-
tendance was large, forty members
being present and ten visitors. The ex-
hibition was large and much of it was
made up by our local growers. Favora-
ble comments were heard on all sides, as
to the excellence of the vases shown.

Those who showed blooms, and the va-
rieties exhibited, were as follows:

The Chloapo Carnation Co.. Jollet. 111., vase
of Its new scarlet, Andrew Carnegie.

Richard Wltterstaetter, Cincinnati, ().. vase
of Afterglow.

K. W. (Jny. Belleville, Uose-pink Enchnnlress
and Enchantress.

seedling Nn. 20, cross of Mrs. Nelson and Mrs.
Lawson.

Charles Beyer, rase of Encliantress.

J. V. Amniann, Edwardsvllle, vase of mixed
varieties.

.r<>hn Steldle. of Central, two vases of mixed
varieties.

After the regular business was dis-
posed of, the pottery committee reported
progress and was given until the May
meeting, in order to complete the $10,000
subscription fund.

The trustees reported that the club
had to vacate its present quarters, as
alterations in the building will do away
with the meeting hall. They were in-
structed to report on new meeting rooms
at the March meeting.

A communication from the local Horti-
cultural Society, asking the club mem-
bers to assist in making its spring show
a success, was read. This communica-
tion was referred to the trustees, to be
acted on as they see fit.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsvllle, ad-
dressed the meeting in the interest of
the Illinois State Florists' Association
and invited all to attend its meeting. A
list of thirty local florists who would at-
tend was handed him.

It was decided to hold our annual rose
meeting March 12. The secretary and
the trustees were instructed to prepare
for the exhibition at once. Growers of
new roses will be asked to send their va-
rieties for exhibition.

The chair appointed Messrs. Fillmore,
Ude and Bentzen to act as judges on the
exhibition. Their report was as follows:

Rose-pink Encliantress, J. W. Dunford. first;
E. W. Guy. second.

White carnation, .T. W. Dunford. first, with
White Perfection; P. Schneider, second, with
Bountiful; E. G^iy, third, with Bountiful.

Best red. J. W. Pllcher. first, with Beacon.

Aristocrat. .1. W. Dunford, first; Henry Jo-
hann, second.

Lawson, P. Schneider, first.

Enchantress. J. W. Dunford. first; P. Schnei-
der, second; C. Beyer, third.

Mixed vase. ,T. F. Aramann, first; .Tohn Steldle,
second and third.

Afterglow, by R. Wltterstaetter, received the
club's certificate of merit.

Splendor, by Stevenson Bros, ; A. Carnegie, by
Chicago Carnation Co., and Seedling No, 20, by
St. Clair Floral Co., received honorable men-
tion.

The question box brought out a good
discussion on carnations. After adjourn-
ment all present were invited to a fine
lunch. At the rose meeting in March
this will be repeated.

Various Notes.

Wm. Adels, for many years with Mrs.
M. M. Ayers, died February 11, at the
residence of his mother, at the age of 35
years, after a short illness. Mr. Adels
was well known in the trade here. He
leaves a wife and young son. The fu-
neral took place February 13, from his
mother's residence. Quite a few in the
trade attended the funeral and extended
their sympathy to the bereaved family.

Congratulations were extended last
week to Harry Young, who will now be
known as Grandpa Harry. His many
friends in the trade will be glad to learn
the news.

At the last meeting of the Florists'
Club two of the oldest florists in the city
attended. They were Carew Sanders,
aged 80, and Francis Fillmore, aged 83.
Both were congratulated on their healthy
appearance.

C. C. Sanders was at the last meeting
of the executive committee of the St.
Louis Horticultural Society and was
elected chairman of the committee. He
reports that the hall for the spring flower
show had not as yet been selected, but
that the chances are that the show will
be hold in the same hall as last year, the
Masonic temple on Grand avenue.

John Steidle, at Central, was in hard
luck recently. His large smokestack

Carl Beyer reports heavy plant decora-
tion orders. The Western Rowing Club
ball and the Concordia Turners' ball are
on for this week. Mr. Beyer is still on
the crippled list, having hurt his knee-
cap recently.

According to the reports of pur four
wholesale houses, there were consigned to
them 300,000 California violets Thurs-
day, February 13, and nearly 200,000
the next day. Thursday they brought 75
cents per hundred and Friday 50 cents.
Many large advance orders were booked
lor St. Valentine's day.

The Market.

"What shall I say of the cut flower
market and the outlook?" was the gen-
eral query which I put to the men who
determine values, the wholesale mer-
chants of the street. And the consensus
of reply is, "There is no strength to
the market, and the outlook is anything
but cheerful. ' ' Low as were the quota-
tions of a week ago, the actual bottom
was beneath them. In fact, for some

stock there was no bottom and a good
deal was unsalable at any price. The
only sustaining happenings were the hol-
idays, Lincoln's birthday, which was of
little avail, and the lift of St. Valen-
tine's, which was more effective than
usual in the popularity of gifts of flow-
ers. The Kruger funeral was the most
remarkable demonstration of public grief
and sympathy New York has seen in
years, and the many brilliant dinners
and weddings have kept the retailers
busy and saved the wholesale marts from
complete stagnation.

The Shonts wedding, the most elabo-
rate of the week, used large quantities
of Beauties and orchids and was a most
artistic affair, doing M. A. Bowe great
credit. Even the bridegroom count, from
Paris, sat up and took notice when the
florist had completed his work.

But so great is the flood of stock ar-
riving that none of these things seems
sufficient to deplete the supply and now
the increasing shipments of roses have

begun. Doubtless before the week
closes these, too, will join the procession.
The retail department of the business is
not complaining. Prices are so low and
funeral work so abundant, to many there
has been a harvest during these lean
weeks and in all a spirit of optimism is
noted. Confidence in all lines of busi-
ness is being restored, and apart from
the cut flower department there is no
complaint. It is hardly necessary to
particularize this week. Look over the
quotations and see for yourself what
they were on Monday, and Monday is
usually top for the week.

Carnations have suffered the most, even
50 cents per hundred for excellent qual-
ity being accepted February 15. In large
quantities even lower figures were
touched. Some of the wholesalers here
receive over 10,000 a day on the average.
Multiply that by forty and you have
some conception of the enormous re-
ceipts, and nearly everybody who grows
carnations now is growing the best of
the newer varieties and growing them
well.

Violets seldom rise beyond 40 cents.
Occasionally 50 cents is reached, never
more, and the remnants of each day go
to the street, often as low as $1 per thou-
sand. Valley, too, has fallen. The best
of it does not go above 2 cents and the
street corners take the rest of it and
peddle it at 5 cents a bunch.

Close at hand are the shipments of
southern narcissi and the beginning of

Lent 's six weeks of penance, as if all
the atonement necessary had not already
been made.

Variotis Notes.

St. Valentine's day was ahead of ex-
pectations. We are hoping "Washing-
ton's birthday, the last of the week, may
bring an old-time Saturday and be the
beginning of normal conditions and bet-
ter times.

The A. J. Fellouris Co. has been in-
corporated in this city, with a capital
stock of $5,000. The directors are An-
tonio J. Fellouris, Spiro J. Loupy and
Gabriel G. Malhami.

The weather is again spring-like. After
all. New York is not a bad winter resort.
Judging by some of the retail windows,
spring is near and the warnings of the
squirrels and the hedge-hog are baseless.

In Small's, primroses and forsythia
make a brilliant effect. All the retailers
who are worthy of the name are taking
advantage of these abnormal prices and
displaying their decorative ability. Sic-
brecht's, Smythc's, Young's and McCon-
nell's are worth walking a mile to see.
So it is at Bowe's, and up at David
Clarke's Sons, on upper Broadway; at
Nugent 's and Donohoe's on Twenty-
eighth street; at Wilson's and Masur's
in Brooklyn, and at Myers' and Duer's,
on Madison avenue. Visiting florists
should not leave the city without study-
ing the skillful work and the charming
effects these artists produce daily.

The annual dinner of the New York

Florists' Club February 29, at the St.
Denis hotel, promises to be a great suc-
cess. Chairman Walter Sheridan is re-
ceiving many engagements of tickets
daily, and it is sincerely hoped that the
happy occasion may bring together an
assemblage of over 200. The misunder-
standing as to the delusiveness of the
affair should be corrected. It is not nec-
essary to be a member of the club to
enjoy this annual festivity. Everybody
will be made welcome and every member
is requested to bring a friend with him.
Dress suits are not necessary. The idea
is to have this year's dinner as popular
as those of ten years ago, when extra
room and tables were required. Send
your name at once to Mr. Sheridan. No
one can afford to miss it. A fine pro-
gram of music, eloquence and all that
goes to create and cement good fellow-
ship.

dens, lectured Wednesday afternoon at

will attend the convention of the Rose

John J. Foley had a large addition to
his regular trade this week because of
the Emerald ball. He is adding to the
scope of his floral photograph album
each season.

Le Moult, on the Bowery, is opening a
branch of his famous headquarters in
the Bronx, near his residence. Mr.
Le Moult has been identified with the
florists' business almost since New York
was New Amsterdam. His landscape
work at his home in upper New York is
a remarkable accomplishment. Commenc-
ing with a perfectly level piece of ground
100 feet square, he has built hills and
dales and decorated with hedges and
trees until the transformation is the talk
of the town, his residence at the top
being as unique and attractive as the
landscaping. His downtown store is at
the terminus of the Williamsburg new
bridge and has been a landmark for sev-
eral generations.

The plantsmen are busy. Eight weeks
only are left for Easter preparation. A

good many orders are booked already,
the growers tell me. Most of them are
duplicates of 1907.

The seedsmen are the first to feel the
throb of spring. Already the orders are
arriving encouragingly, and with no evi-
dence of loss of confidence in the good
times coming. The recovery from the
temporary and largely local depression
seems assured, and if the advance or-
ders and the success of the traveling
representatives are fair indications of
what is to be, we may look forward con-
fidently to .a splendid season's business.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

St. Valentine's day was a pleasant one,
as well as the weather of the last week.
This was indeed a great help to business,
for violets, sweet peas and valley were
worn a great deal on the street without
freezing. Prom reports, business was be-
yond expectations, for all the violets in

town were sgld by noon. However, sweet
peas and valley make a good valentine,
and a large quantity of this stock was
disposed of. Aside from the holiday
business, trade has been good.

Various Notes.

On February 14 the regular meeting of
the club was held at Saturn hall, here-
after to be the regular meeting place.
It was indeed gratifying to the old mem-
bers and a good incentive to the new,
for the attendance was large and as a
result applications for the admission of
twenty new members were received. On
account of the fiscal year ending soon,
and the necessity of electing new oflScers.
the applicants were elected as members
on the same night.

All officers were present and a few
remarks by President Neubeck opened
the meeting. The regular order of busi-
ness ensued and nominations for oflBcers
for the year were received. At this point
Wallace Eiss gave a very interesting talk
on the manner in which the club had
been run and further stated that we

were then received, as follows: Presi-
dent, Chas. Sandiford and Mr. Eeichart;

and Geo. E. McClure, son of the vice-
president of the S. A. P.; secretary, J.

Emil Bruecker; treasurer, Wallace Eiss.

The order of business then closed,
after a few points of interest were dis-
cussed. An entertainment committee
was also selected to maintain interest
among the members. This committee
was up to the handle at once and ar-
ranged a party for February 24. Every-
body is invited and we hope to see a
large attendance.

After the meeting a neat lunch was
disposed of and everybody was pleased.
Cards and music followed and the even-
ing ended very pleasantly. It was sug-
gested by Geo. E. McClure, lately of St.
Louis, that a press committee be formed
to give a good account of all meetings,
for he stated that he always enjoyed
reading the doings of his former club.
We can assure all the readers that they
will always find a good account of the
meetings in the Review.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

St. Valentine's day brought a slight
acceleration of business in certain vari-
eties of flowers. Violets were stronger
than for some time. Pansies, forget-me-
nots, sweet peas and red roses also prof-
ited. The retail shops were very busy
during the day. Nothing more plainly
shows the congested condition of the
wholesale market than the fact that few

few of these special flowers can be sold

being bought at cheap figures, some find-
ing no market at all. Roses have also
felt the effects of lack of demand, prices
being easier than those of a week ago.
Valley is greatly overdone. It is re-
ported that some of the principal grow-
ers are cutting down the quantity at
each forcing, Smilax and Asparagus plu-
mosus continue excellent stock. Cattleyas

constitute one of the bright features
of the market. Acacia pubescens has
made its appearance in quantity. Gar-
denias are scarce and in fair demand.
Sweet peas are plentiful and of excellent

MRS. JARDINE

We are most favorably impressed with Mrs. Jardine, and believe that it will make one of the
best selling varieties of roses in the cut flower market during the winter months. Its strong points are
its pleasing color ( a bright rosy pink, shading in the outer petals to salmon-pink), its long, heavy
stems (even the shorter stems hold their flowers erect), and its keeping qualities. From a grower's
standpoint this promising variety is almost ideal ; vigorous, healthy, free-blooming, producing few
flowers of poor grade, and retaining its beautiful color even in dark weather.

We offer strong plants of Mrs. Jardine at the following prices : Zyi-in, pots, $30.00 per 100; $70.00 per
260; $260.00 per 1000. Grafted Stock add $6.00 per 100

We can supply a limited quantity of cut flowers of Mrs. Jardine* $4.00 per do2.; 3 days' notice required.

East and West.

This is not a season when the building
record is likely to be broken. Two im-
portant additions, however, to the glass
of the district supplying this market
with cut flowers have already been
planned and will be carried into effect as
soon as spring opens. One is at Garrett-
ford, the other at Southampton. At the
former place, James Verner, famous as
gardener in charge of the greenhouses of
the late Anthony J, Drexel, will add some
15,000 feet of glass to his place. This,
if I recollect rightly, will fully double
Mr. Verner 's plant. The addition at
Southampton, on the place of Stephen
Mortensen, is in the shape of one house
43x265 feet, or an addition of pretty
nearly the same amount of glass as at
Mr, Vomer's. It is interesting to note
that these additions are made by two of
the most conservative, as well as capa-
ble, growers in this district. It is also

interesting to note that the stock coming
from these places goes, if we may so
describe it, from west to east, and from
east to west. For Mr. Verner, who is
out on one of the Pennsylvania Bailroad
lines, sends his stock across Broad street
to the Leo Niessen Co., while Mr. Mor-
tensen, who is out on one of the Reading
lines, ships his stock across Broad street
to the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co.

Various Notes.

William Keaton, of Andalusia, Pa.,
has been sending some exceptionally fine
Princess of Wales and Luxonne violets
to this market. Mr. Keaton, who has
served an apprenticeship in one of our
best violet schools, has developed during
his first year into an important factor in
the violet market. He not only grows
first-class stock, but bunches it prop-
erly, so that his stock compares favora-
bly with the best seen in the market.

Mr. Keaton consigns his flowers to W. E.
McKissick.

The last meeting of the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society was held February
18. A schedule of prizes for the No-
vember exhibition was arranged.

Eugene Bernheimer has been looking
after the financial interests of the Florex
Gardens during the last week, owing to
the illness of Henry C. Geiger.

George A. Strohlein has returned from
Europe.

The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving gar-
denias in quantity. Choice stock of this
sweet-scented flower is scarce at present.

Henry F. Michell has returned from
Florida.

The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. re-
ceived heavy shipments of myosotis for
St. Valentine's day.

Walter P. Stokes reports the mailing
seed business as opening in excellent
shape. Mr. Stokes is well pleased with
the crops produced at his Floracroft Gar-
dens, at Moorestown, N. J.

W. and Harry F. Evans, Rowlandville,
Pa., commenced shipping fine bunches
of the delicate Acacia pubescens to the
Leo Niessen Co. February 17. This is
the first acacia to reach this market, with
the exception of some from the Hugh
Graham Co. greenhouses at Logan. It
will be remembered that when the Messrs.
Evans had to choose between sacrificing
their Acacia pubescens tree or building
a larger greenhouse, they at once decided
to build tho greenhouse — higher.

Philip Freud, who arranges the show
windows of a seed store on Market street
above Tenth street, made another hit a
few days ago. He depended for his
piece de resistance on Japanese air
plants, or sea moss. He threw in a little
scarlet crepe to add color, and a Teddy
bear to add life, and sold a measly little
1,500, mostly singly, some in baskets, at
a profit. I hardly dare tell you what the
profit was, but it was quite satisfactory,
especially for a dull time. When seeds
are booming, of course, the seeds will go
in the window and should prove more
profitable.

Paul Berkowitz. of H. Bayersdorfer &
Co., reports great preparations for Eas-
ter, when his house will have many things
that every florist knows and wants, and
some things "that many florists do not
know and will want. ' Phil.

HORTICULTURISTS.

Their Tribulations and Rewards.

At a dinner given by the Nassau
County Horticultural Society, of New
York state, January 29, 1908, the fol-
lowing address was delivered by Buell
G. Davis, editor of the Glen Cove Echo:

"The horticulturist has my sympathy,
for he surely has a hard row to hoe.
The preparation of his ground is often
harrowing. The scattering of seed is a
sower job. He sets a plant and it leaves
the first oportunitj\ His cultivation of
flowers involves cutting experiences.

"But tribulation worketh patience,
and patience experience, and experi-
ence hope and, in the end, realization.
The common weed is evolved into a
beautiful foliage plant, the wild flower
is transformed into the cultivated blossom,
and the outcome of his industry and gen-
ius is the marvel and admiration of a com-
munity, and often of a nation or even the
world. His vocation is in a way a dem-
onstration of successful life. The hon-
ors end emoluments of living are earned
by labor and sacrifice, just as the
choicest products of the garden and
greenhouse represent care and solicitude,
and thus you workers in this profes-
sion are preaching the way to success
in all forms of industrial and intellec-

tual effort, the way to make the most
and get the most out of existence.

"With my sympathy you have my
congratulations. You are doing a work
which, operatively, adds to the joy of
the world, and, speculatively, is an ex-
ample of promise to all who appreciate
and profit by it. It gives the local
press great pleasure to note your prog-
ress and wish you Godspeed."

PRIMULA QUEEN OF NORTH.

According to the British gardeners'
magazines, the new primula. Queen of
the North, which Dickson, Brown & Tait,
of Manchester, England, have introduced
this season, is so highly meritorious that
it can hardly fail to attain a high de-
gree of popularity. The form and tex-
ture of the flowers are notable, but im-
portant as are these attributes, the claims
of the variety for consideration do not
wholly rest upon them. Bather do they
rest upon the distinct combination of
coloring the variety affords, and the ef-
fectiveness of the plants when in bloom.
Queen of the North is described as hav-
ing been raised from a cross between
Avalanche, one of the finest of the pure
white varieties belonging to the florists'
type, and The Lady, a stellate form bear-
ing white flowers, and remarkable for the
deep red coloring of the leaf stems and

flower stalks, and the deep bronzy hue of
the foliage. In this form the character-
istics of the two parents are happily
combined, the flowers being like those
of Avalanche in size, form and purity,
while the flowers are borne on long
stalks, and the leaves and stems are
dark in color, as in The Lady. The large
white flowers present an extremely pleas-
ing contrast to the dark hue of the
foliage.

BULBS IN THE SQLLY ISLES.

The Isles of Scilly are, as many of our
readers know from of old, about twenty-
five miles out in the Atlantic from
Lands End, the southwestern corner of
England, and the source of a large part
of the supply of bulbous flowers, es-
pecially daffodils, in the London market.
The climatic conditions are especially fa-
vorable, so that the great business of
the Scillonians is flower culture, and
practically everyone, from the lord pro-
prietor downward, has an interest in
the trade. The credit of discovering
the commercial possibilities of the
islands for flower production must be
accorded to the late Augustus Dorrien-
Smith, who developed an extensive bulb
farm at Tresco, and ere long the rest
of the islanders took up the culture, un-
til now the Isle of St. Mary's seems

MRS JARDINE

Every Florist who Plants a Rose for Winter Forcing wants at least Six Qualities

A FREE, STRONG GROWTH, WITH GOOD FOLIAGE. A VARIETT THAT CAN BE EASILY GROWN. LARGE
FLOWERS ON LONG STEMS. DELICIOUS FRAGRANCE. DISTINCT, PLEASING COLOR THAT WILL SELL
AT SIGHT. A ROSE THAT WILL HOLD ITS COLOR IN THE DULL DATS OF DECEMBER AND JANUARY.

MRS. JARDINE has all these characteristics, and, in addition, is of so perfect a form that it can be used either
in the bud or half expanded flower. The color is a bright rosy pink, shading in the outer petals to salmon pink, and,
even in January, when Bridesmaids and Killarney lose their color, Mrs. Jardine is as bright as in October or March.

We extend a cordial invitation to everyone interested in this New Rose to visit our Nurseries and see it growing.

MRS. JARDINE has been awarded Two Silver Medals, numerous Certificates, and successfully stood the best
test which any novelty can possibly have in passing unanimously, in December, the Award Committee of the New
York Florists Club after an exhaustive examination of the growmg plants, with a score of 92 points.

Best Atmosphere for
Keeping Flo^x^ers

is inside a McCray Refrigerator. They are built with the
patented system of circulation of cold, dry, fresh air, which
preserves the beauty and fragrance, prevents wilting, and
uses an astonishingly small amount of ice. This saving of ice
pays for the refrigerator itself, as many florists have actually
demonstrated. There is no stagnant air in the McCray.

McCray Refrigerators

with their elegant finish will give your store a very attractive appear-

A McCrajr Refrigerator will last more than a lifetime, and will save
ice for you daily, and will keep your stock in fresher condition than any

clothed in daffodils in the early spring
time, bulbs filling the ground from quite
near the seashore up to where the hard
roek puts a bar against cultivation. The

ended in April, 1907, nearly 900 tons

The earliest flowers are opened under

late in the spring, are fully expanded
under glass, to insure clean, clear blooms,
but in January the broad, light houses,
chiefly span-roofed, are heated, and the
flowers, culled from the fields as their
buds show color, are set in deep flower

TOO MUCH NITRATE OF SODA.

I wish to inquire if we could depend
on getting good rose plants from roses
that were given too much nitrate of soda.
They received this set-back last fall, and
while they are now beginning to improve
and show new life, the stems of the flow-
ers are weak and short. Would you con-
sider it good policy to hold such plants
over another year by transplanting them
into fresh dirt? J, B.

Roses which have received an overdose
of nitrate of soda, or of any other food
to the extent of sickening them, are in
no condition to take cuttings or scions
frofm. The reduced vitality of these
plants would also make them undesirable
subjects to carry over. Better invest in
fresh, young stock and plant in good sea-
son— in June. Eibks.

Vegetable Fordflg.

Simon Dumseb, of Elgin, 111., gets
after the greenfly in his lettuce houses
with hot water. He uses the city water,
^aummg it through a heater, and says
that water hot enough to be uncomforta-
ble to the fingers at the nozzle does not
hurt the lettuce, but that the greenfly
does not like it and the hot water is a
preventive and even a cure for lettuce
rot.

VEGETABLE PACKAGES.

In the Boston market cucumbers are
packed in bushel boxes, the number of
cucumbers varying with the size and
quality. The standard lettuce box con-
tains two dozen heads.

In the Chicago market all the lettuce
locally grown under glass is of the leaf
varieties. The standard case is a box
roughly made, about twenty-four inches
long, nine inches wide and six inches
deep. These cases contain from one
dozen to one and one-half dozens bunches
of leaf lettuce, or two to two and one-
quarter pounds.

VEGETABLE PLANTS.

I want to grow this spring, for the
trade, 400,000 vegetable plants, in east-
ern Pennsylvania, of the following va-
rieties: Tomato, transplanted and pot-
grown; cabbage, early and late; beets,
lettuce, cauliflower, pepper, egg plant,
3 -inch pots; celery and sweet potato.
Will you please advise me when to plant
the seeds in my carnation house, which
contains 8,000 square feet, and when
they should go out in the coldframes or
hotbeds, of 2,000 square feetf What
kind of soil and temperature should they
have and will pulverized sheep manure
be good to mix with the soil in the cold-
frames!

I have always had trouble with pepper
and egg plant seed. Should the seeds be
soaked, or started in a hotbed with
steady heatf I want to grow pot toma-
toes, having them in bloom May 15. How
can I grow them in 4-inch pots to have
them about twelve to fifteen inches high
and thick and stocky f

I would like an article on each vegeta-
ble mentioned, stating how to handle it
from the sowing to the selling time;
which ones can stand coldframes, which

I put in a bed 6x100 feet to keep the
cabbage maggot out? Is salt good for
celery seedbeds or is it best used in the
bed they are transplanted to?

B. J. P.

In a carnation house temperature, cab-
bage and cauliflower seeds should be
sown about the middle of March to give
nice plants by setting-out time. Sow
the seeds in flats with about two inches
of soil and cover them over to the depth
of one-eighth of an inch. If your seed
is good and fresh, sow rather thinly, so
that the little plants will not crowd one
another and become drawn before they
are large enough for pricking off. The
time to prick off is shortly after they
have made the first rough leaf. If you
intend to put them in a frame at this
stage, suflBcient heating material should
be put in the frame to maintain a tem-
perature of from 50 to 55 degrees.

To insure good, stocky plants they
should be allowed a space of two inches
each way in the frame. At this distance
a sash 3x6 feet will accommodate about
650 plants. Keep close and shade for a
few days after transplanting, until they
have obtained hold of the fresh material ;
then give all the light possible and suf-
ficient air to prevent the temperature in
the frame from rising above 65 degrees.

As the season advances and the weather
becomes warmer, gradually give more air
and, as planting-out time approaches,
gradually harden off so that the sashes
can be removed altogether for a few
days and nights previous to planting out.
This will prevent any severe check and
the plants will prove much more satis-
factory.

Tomato seeds peed not be sown until
about two weeks later than the cabbage,
as they grow fast after they are once
started and cannot be planted out be-
fore danger of frost is over, which is
quite a little later than cabbage can be
set out. The seeds may be sown in flats,
the same as cabbage, and if you have
room in your house, the plants should be
pricked over into flats again, about two
inches apart, and potted up when about
three inches high. They require a night
temperature of 60 degrees to keep them
growing freely. The only way to keep

them thick and stocky is to give them
plenty of light and air and avoid crowd-
ing. Plants that are not intended for
pots can be pricked out into frames as
directed for cabbage.

Lettuce and beets can be sown about
the same time as tomatoes and handled
as directed for cabbage and cauliflower,
only they can be put closer together in
the frame, as they are smaller growers.

Probably your trouble with egg plants
and peppers is that you have been grow-
ing them too cool. These require a tem-
perature of at least 65 degrees. There
is no need of soaking the seed, but start
as you suggest, in a hotbed with steady
heat, and keep them growing. Once
checked, they never make good plants.

The tubers of sweet potatoes should
be started in a good, warm hotbed. The
offsets should be removed from them
when about three inches high and potted
up into 3-inch pots. These pots should
be put back in the warm frame and the
plants kept moving right along until the
weather is sufficiently warm for harden-
ing them off preparatory to planting
outdoors, which cannot safely be done
before the end of May. About six weeks
is required from the time you put the
tubers in to the time when the plants
will be ready for setting out.

Unless for early celery, which only
succeeds in certain localities, there is no
need of sowing seed indoors. The best
celery is invariably that which is sown
and grown outdoors. If early celery is
wanted, it could be started in the green-
house and pricked out into a coldframe.
About the middle of March would be
quite early enough to sow it. But for
the main crop the best place to sow the
seed is in some sheltered corner outdoors,
as early in April as the ground is in con-
dition to work. It is quite a hardy seed.
We have had excellent plants from seeds
which were covered with snow to a depth
of four inches after they had been sown.

Regarding salt for celery, I think the
best time and place to use that is after
the matured article has been taken up,
nicely washed and put on the table ready
to be eaten. If your soil is fairly good,
there should be no need of adding sheep
manure or any other fertilizing mate-
rial, as there is no need to push the
plants in this way. Too rich soil would
only tend to maie soft, lanky growth,
which abo^e all things is what should
be avoided for young plants of any kind
which have to be transplanted to the
open ground.

I do not think you will need salt for
your cabbage any more than for celery,
as the cabbage maggot is not likely to
cause any trouble at this early stage. If
you have had trouble with it formerly,
the best plan is to change your soil, as
you could not add enough salt to kill it
out without injury to the plants.

The Dakota Improved Seed Co., A. W.
Wheeler, Mgr., Mitchell, S. D., is send-
ing out its first catalogue, of thirty-two
pages.

W. J. FosGATE, of Santa Clara, Cal.,
was in Chicago at the end of last week.
He reported business good on his eastern
trip. He has taken a side trip to visit
relatives in Georgia and from there will
return home by a southern route.

The bean growers do not seem to be
in as good shape as the pea growers.
Eeports are to the effect that it is much
harder to book contract business for
beans. The final result, it is thought,
will be just as good, however.

The pea growers report contract book-
ing of orders right up to the limit of
what they can expect to produce. This
looks good as far as it goes. It is re-
ported that some of the orders are taken
on a basis of three-fourths of a full de-
livery guaranteed. This is a feature
that may not be so good.

Seed trade reports during the present
week have the same general tone as a
week ago. Business is reported to be
normal in all lines. Enough stock seems
to be available for all immediate needs.
The weather is such as to hold in check
the purchasing of seeds ahead of time.
This will have a good effect in equaliz-
ing values. Stocks supposed to be scarce,
and for which a higher price is asked
than conditions really warrant, will prob-
ably drop to somewhere near proper val-
ues by the time the seeds are actually
needed, and stocks that are thought to
be overplentiful will probably rise in
price.

A SHARP advance in the price of onions
has given seeds of the Globe varieties a
slight boost. The trouble is, however,
that the high prices at which seeds of
the Globe varieties have sold for the last
year or two induced the growers to save
seed of their own; consequently there is
a smaller demand for Globe seed than
there has been for many years. There
will be just as much of it planted, how-
ever. The same thing will happen on the
flat varieties before long and thus will
come low prices again. Just as soon as
the price of seeds goes beyond a certain
limit, the man who uses large quantities
of it will grow his own. Professional
seed growers must keep this in mind.

the father of Walter Helms and was
handed down to him and now he turns
the management to his son Edward.

There is reported to be a great rush
for seeds of the finer sorts of sweet peas
with the trade in England.

Some onion-set growers hope that
onion seed may come within the reach of
all; others hope that it may not.

Onion sets are moving out rapidly,
with no easing up of the demand. There
are yet six good weeks for any who have
a surplus of this article to move it. Do
not get discouraged.

A. C. HoYT says that up to the pres-
ent time Toledo's clover receipts amount
to about 23,000 bags and in 1897, when
we had the largest seed crop in the his-
tory of the country, Toledo's receipts
were 160,000 bags, or about seven times
as much as this year. In 1897 local deal-
ers were selling seed at $2.75 to $3 per
bushel, now at $11 to $12 per bushel.
Even at the prevailing price fanners
claim it pays to sow clover seed and
some say it would not be prohibitive at
$20 per bushel.

CANFIELD, OHIO

H. Van Buskiek, seed grower at
Eocky Ford, Colo., has recently returned
from a trip to California.

Latest advices from Holland are of
severe cold with the ground bare of
snow, and the bulb growers say January
was a trying month on the bulbs.

Field corn that will germinate a high
percentage is reported to be exceedingly
hard to get. The late maturing sorts
are the varieties that are hardest to ob-
tain.

LILY BULBS.

F. H. Henry, of Henry & Lee, New
York, met Robert Fulton, of the same
firm, at Chicago February 17, the latter
on his way home from Japan, where he
has been for several months. Mr. Henry
says that the surplus of multiflomm
bulbs dumped into the London auction
rooms this season does not indicate an
overproduction of bulbs, but a lessening
of the demand for that variety, the call
now being for giganteums, of which it is

impossible to supply the demand. He
says that the crop of multiflorum in
Japan this year will be less than last
year, with a good increase of giganteums.
The crop in Formosa will be from 150,-
000 to 200,000 bulbs, controlled by two
firms, and Mr. Henry says these are sup-
posed to be the true Jap longiflorum, but
some black stems are found among them.
He says the Azores crop of bulbs does
not yet exceed 500,000. The Bermuda
growers are now employing much more
careful methods than they did a few
years ago and the quality of the output
there, which has fallen from 5,000,000
bulbs to 1,500,000, is rapidly improving.

SEED TRADE IN GERMANY.

With the seed growers at Erfurt, Ger-
many, at the beginning of February it
was reported that the main transatlantic
and antipodean orders were mostly en
route, or arrived at their destination, but
other quarters of the globe were still
waiting for their supply of seeds, and
Great Britain was loud in its demands
to be promptly supplied, so that the sea-
son, somewhat later than usual this year,
is really only at its height at date of this
report. Most kinds of vegetable seeds
have been going off well, especially cauli-
flower. Savoy cabbage, brussels sprouts
and parsley, while peas, beets, cabbage,
leek, lettuce, radish, carrot, spinach, and
most kinds of herbs have all been in de-
mand. Dwarf French beans have shown
an indisposition to move off, but runner
beans have had relatively a much brisker
sale. Natural grasses have moved off
better than was expected, considering the
high prices of most species this season.
The sale of flower seeds is thus far satis-
factory. The demand for most of the
leading articles has been good and sus-
tained. Orders for Viola odorata can
only be partly filled. The stocks of some
classes of asters are running low, espe-
cially among the dwarf sections.

At Quedlinburg it is asserted that the
seed trade on the whole has been doing
a fair amount of business, but compara-
tively little money has been made by the
growers, as many seeds sold below the
cost of their production, owing to the
low prices that ruled in other districts or
countries. Wrinkled peas have not met
with the usual sale. Brussels sprouts,
carrots, celeriac, chervil, chicory, corn
salad, cress, radish, spinach and Swedish
turnips sold readily and there will be
little left over. Borecole, cabbages, cau-
liflower, endive, gourds, pumpkins, kohl-
rabi, parsley, parsnips and turnips met
with the usual demand, while leek, let-
tuces and onions did not sell so readily
as usual. The demand for mangel and
sugar beet remains, thus far, behind that
of the last several seasons. On the whole
flower seeds met with an increased de-
mand. Nearly all classes of dwarf aster
and some of the half -dwarf and tall
ones, of which the crop turned out ex-
ceedingly small, are sold out long since.

THE DISCXAIMER AGAIN.

Our friend, Dr. Van Fleet, of the
Bural New-Yorker, is feeling badly over
the fact that seedsmen veill not give any
Avarranty whatsoever as to the results of
planting their merchandise. Referring
to the Bolgiano case, he says:

"These repeated decisions appear to
leave seed buyers no encouragement for
damage claims against dealers when the
purchase proves worthless, but it may be
doubted whether the victory will turn
out unalloyed benefit for the seed trade.
Manifestly the seed dealer cannot, in con-
sideration of the varying character of
seasons, soils and the skill of planters,
guarantee a profitable crop from the
seeds he sells, but he can, at least, as-
sume reasonable responsibility for the
genuineness and purity of his goods. If
he is not willing to do this he is best out
of the business. Some of the more rep-
utable seedsmen in practice do this, mak-
ing good the direct loss when it can be
shown they are at fault, but for fear of
being victimized by irresponsible buyers,
do not care to publish the fact; others
appear inclined to take refuge behind
their legal disclaimer and ignore all ap-
peals for failures. The outcome is cer-
tain to be weakening of confidence in the
entire business.

' ' I am in a position to know that dis-
satisfaction with the quality of staple
seeds furnished by a few dealers hitherto
well regarded is on the increase. The
last three seasons have been notably un-
favorable for seed growing in many lo-
calities, and conspicuous snortages have
been from time to time reported, yet cer-
tain handlers always claim to have an
abundance of the scarcest sorts to fill
orders — under the non-warranty clause!
We hear of seeds being saved in quan-
tity from the refuse of canneries, old

seeds being recleaned, and trash of all
kinds warehoused for the coming sea-
son's trade. Many of these reports are
doubtless exaggerated, but it will not do
to take too close refuge under the dis-
claimer, and sell without testing anything
that comes to hand. Good seeds are
worth good money — some quite a lot of
it — they should be guaranteed as far as
compatible with commercial safety, and
at least sold with the understanding
that any obvious mistakes will be recti-
fied. The reasonable conclusion, under
present conditions, appears to be to deal
only with seedsmen of established prob-
ity."

Really, the doctor takes it too seri-
ously. Practically every seedsman stands
ready to adjust any reasonable com-
plaint, and in every case Avhich has gone
to court unreasonable claims were made,
as in the Bolgiano matter, where $3,600
was demanded on a purchase of seeds

plishing a satisfactory transfer of pollen
from the stamen to the stigmas; there-
fore recourse must be had to hand pol-
lination. This consists in taking three
or four stamens between the thumb and
forefinger and rubbing the anthers, which
are copiously supplied with pollen,
against the viscid surface of the stigmas.
It is best to transfer the pollen from
the flowers of one plant to those of
another, as the flowers then set seed bet-
ter than when the pollen of one flower
is transferred to the stigma of the same
flower or to other flowers on the same
plant.

The best time to select pollen is when
the anthers have shrunk considerably
and the pollen adheres to them in great
masses. This should be applied to the
stigmas shortly after the segments of
the flowers open; the stigmatic surface
will then be covered with a viscid sub-
stance which enables the pollen to ad-
here very easily. After pollinating the
flowers on outdoor-grown plants it is
advisable to cover them with paper bags.
This is not necessary with plants grown
in the greenhouse.

When the flower is ready for pollen it
usually occupies a horizontal position,
and when the pollen has performed its
mission the capsule gradually assumes
an upright position, indicating that fer-
tilization of the ovules has taken place.
Not more than four capsules should be
allowed to mature on one plant, as the
production of seed seems to be a con-
siderable drain on its resources.

The time required to ripen seed out-
doors varies with the climatic conditions.
In a greenhouse the seed ripens in about
two months after fertilization is
effected. Those plants which set seed
do not go to rest at the same period as
those without seed capsules, but remain
fresh and green for several weeks after
the others have matured.

The ripening of the seed is indicated
by the capsules turning from green to a
light brownish color and splitting open
at the top. They should then be gath-
ered into a bag or box and spread out
to dry. When dry the seeds should be
removed from the capsules and stored
in a cool, dry place imtil sown.

The plants selected for seed bearers
should not be subjected to checks dur-

Duke Zepplin and Lafayette

These two new double Hybrid Tuberous-Eooted Be-
gonias are both of unusual merit, and in color, when
grown either as pot plants or planted in partially

shaded positions, are an intense scarlet, rivaling the
Salvia splendens and flowering the whole summer.
Both varieties are of a dwarf habit, reaching a height
of only about 10 to 12 inches; very sturdy. They are
continuous bloomers, sending up their numerous spikes
of flowers well above the foliage from June till late
fall.

September, in a place where close at-
tention can be given to shading, ven-
tilating and watering. The method
which has given most satisfaction in
California is to sow the seed in well-
prepared ground covered with a cloth
house. This is easily and cheaply con-
structed.

The roof should be high enough from
the ground to provide plenty of space
for a person to move about without
stooping. The soil should be about six
inches deep, on top of about eight
inches of stable manure. The bed
should be raised above the surface of
the ground three or four inches and
edged with narrow boards a few inches
above the paths; these will keep the
soil in position and give a neat appear-
ance.

The soil should consist of sandy loam
mixed with screenings of dried horse
manure, not for the purpose of enrich-
ing the soil, but to make it porous and
easily worked. Fresh manure is inju-
rious to the young plants. Make the
surface of the beds level with a garden
rake, sow the seed thinly, and press
down with a piece of board. The seeds
should then be covered with one-half
inch of soil and cocoanut fiber in equal
parts; ground redwood bark will an-
swer the purpose quite as well, the idea
being to keep the surface porous.

Water should be given through a fine
sprinkler whenever the soil shows indi-
cations of becoming dry. The seeds
should germinate in from three to ^ix
weeks. In April, or as soon as the
weather will permit, the cloth may be
removed gradually in order to harden off
the young plants previous to planting
out. The seeds may also be sown in a
frame built and covered so as to exclude
sunshine and heavy rains while germina-
tion takes place; and while the plants
are small care should be taken not to
have the seed beds too wet at the plant-
ing-out period, as in this condition the
seedlings are more easily wilted than
otherwise when put in the field.

Pricking Off the Seedlings.
It is a question whether or not it pays
to prick off the seedlings previous to

planting in the open field. Judging
from the behavior of most other crops so
treated, one would suppose that it would
be the best practice.

Those of the seedlings which were
pricked off the past season undoubtedly
showed stronger growth than those left
in the seed beds till planting-out time,
but it is claimed the operation does not
show any beneficial effects on the plants
a few weeks after being in the field.
At any rate, there is mudi to be gained
in thinning out the seedlings and prick-
ing them off when they come up too
thickly in the seed bed.

horticultural journals, which I look for
most eagerly every week and which in-
forms me in up-to-date style of what

perfectly satisfied with the paper in the
past, and hope to give it the support
of my little dollar, and any other sup-
port that I can render it, for many a
year. — C. Adams, Memphis, Tenn.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Februabt 20, 1908.

PACIFIC COAST.

Seattle, Wash. — The Alki Floral Co.
has been incorporated, with $1,800 au-
thorized capital stock.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market

Trade conditions have remained much
the same since our last report, varying
but little from day to day. It is suffi-
cient to say that the demand in all lines
fully equals the supply. A left sweep of
that Chicago blizzard came our way and
caused the growers a few sleepless
nights and much anxiety in filling their
wholesale orders. Cut flowers are scarce,
particularly roses, and prices have ad-
vanced accordingly. The celebration of
the Chinese New Year is now in prog-
ress. It lasts for two weeks, during
which John has the time of his life. His
sporting proclivities naturally crop out at
this season, but he always pays his debts.
The Chinaman is a good customer on this
occasion, usually selecting the more
highly scented cut flowers, and it is es-
timated that no less than 300 azaleas
adorn the festive boards in the celestial
quarter.

Various Notes.

The firm of Rahn & Herbert is meeting
with great success. They say so and
their customers corroborate it. When
they leased the Pfunder greenhouses last
fall, it was an undertaking that required
pluck and perseverance, as well as skill.
While the houses were well filled with a
various assortment of plants, yet all were
not of a strictly commercial value, and
good results are now being produced by
the weeding out of the undesirable and
the classifying of the more profitable
stock. The finest bench of lilac the
writer has seen in years was here ready
for the market. We inspected the whole
place and found that every inch of space
was being utilized, and when the plant-
ing season opens this firm will have 25,-
000 young plants to offer to the trade.

While out walking on a recent Sunday
afternoon, we called briefly on John Al-
stadt, Hoffman Bros., Burkhardt Bros,
and George Otten, all of the west end,
and learned that trade with them was
equal to last year at this time, and in
fact some said it was better.

Two traveling men from Milwaukee
were here last week — W. G. Schucht,
representing the PoUworth Co., and A. J.
Currie, of Currie Bros. Co. We are glad
that the coast is attracting the notice of
the big eastern firms, and these two
young men seemed quite equal to fulfill-
ing the duties imposed on them.

H. J. M.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

We have been treated to several kinds
of weather during the last week. We
had copious rainfall for the early part
and plenty of warm sunshine, with fairly
cold nights, for the balance. At pres-
ent it looks as though we will have some
pleasant weather. The month of Janu-
ary was a stormy proposition, and the
same could be said of February until
within the last few days.

Flowers are not overplentiful, with the
exception of violets and narcissi, and

these are going begging. Regarding
prices, yellow daffodils cost the retailers
from 50 to 75 cents per hundred, and
the white varieties of narcissi can be
had for half these figures.

Roses are commencing to show the re-
sults of the continued dark weather, and
most of them are of poorer color than
usual. Good whites are scarce and no
fancy Beauties have been seen for some
time. Carnations, especially of the white
sorts, are not plentiful and the prices
have stiffened a shade during the last
few days.

Some inside sweet peas are being
brought into town. They cost the stores
about $1.50 per dozen bunches. Fruit
blossoms are now in full blast. The al-
mond is past its prime, but early plum
is taking its place and is in good de-
mand.

Wild maidenhair is being brought in
from the country and is taking the
place of the cultivated variety, which
has the appearance of having been very
closely cropped. Smilax is rising in price
and seems to be getting very short in
length.

Various Notes.

Harry Bayersdorfer, of H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, left for
Portland, Ore., on his return trip east-
ward during the present week. His wife
accompanied him on his present trip.

Wm. Nelson, a well-known nurseryman
of Ashland, Ore., is in town looking up
some varieties of nursery stock. He
reports everything booming in his neigh-
borhood.

At the last meeting of the Society
of Hortensia, of Alameda, the proposi-
tion of holding a spring flower show
was discussed at length, and details of
it will be announced later.

A report of the death of Robert
Petrie, of Alameda, will be found in the
obituary column. G.

CARNATIONS IN CALIFORNIA.

Rooting the Cuttinc^s.

The present is about the best possible
time in California for the rooting of
carnation cuttings without bottom heat.
This is easily accomplished either in
a coldframe or in a glass house with-
out fire heat. It is also possible to root
the cuttings in the open, but this is more
easily accomplished after March 1, as the
excess of moisture at the present time
usually interferes greatly with their
growth. When it becomes slightly warm-
er overhead and the excess of moisture
has not to be contended with, there is
no particular difficulty in rooting cut-
tings. But if the plants are wanted for
spring sales, they will usually be too
late if grown this way. Hence, a cold-
frame or the bench in a greenhouse
will regulate the temperature so as to
make it possible to root cuttings at least
two months in advance of those out-
side.

The cuttings themselves are better if
taken from inside-grown plants and, if
no bottom heat is to be used in striking
them, much better results can be had if
the cuttings are taken from plants that
have been forced little, if at all, during
the winter. Cuttings from outside-
grown plants are usually very short and

sufficient sand in it so that it will not
hold the moisture too long. Heavy soil
is out of the question, certainly, but
there is an advantage in a mixture of
sand and soil, in that it is possible to
leave the cuttings several months in the
boxes after they are rooted, if it is to
be an object to keep them this way.

As the California climate is subject to
sudden successions of extremely warm
spells in the middle of the day and as
this is one of the dangers always to
be looked out for in unrooted cuttings,
it is always well to have temporary
shade that can be arranged at a mo-
ment's notice. In a general way, much
better success can be had if the cut-
tings can be kept away from the glass.
If the house is not too dark the boxes
can be put on the floor, and I have
rooted many thousands in this way when
I happened to be short of room. Ven-
tilation must be arranged for, because
of the same reason that I have given for
the shading. It is always better to give
too much rather than too little.

Watering must be watched carefully
on warm days or at times when our
drying winds are upon us. The secret
is to keep the cuttings moist enough
and it makes no difference whether they
have to be watered twice a day or twice
a week. Have the soil or sand such as
will not get crusty and cake on the top.
Clean creek sand is the best to use, but
be sure there are no fine particles of
adobe mixed with it, as this makes a
putty-like combination that is sure death

to cuttings. Salt-water sand is used
by some, but there is always danger,
unless it has lain a season in the open,
that the excess of saline materials will
pickle the prospective plants. G.

LIQUID FERTILIZER.

I desire a little information about
liquid fertilizer. I notice that this plan
has been recommended — to place a peck
of fresh cow manure or sheep manure in
a barrel of water and, after it has fer-
mented, apply the water. What I would
like to know is, how long does it take to
ferment? Will it be necessary to re-
move the peck of cow or sheep manure
after emptying the barrel of water, or
can I leave it and add a little fresh
manure fro'hi time to time? I want it
to feed Beauty roses. T. H. T.

The time required for fermentation de-
pends on the temperature to which the
material is exposed and also on the kind
and quality of the manure. Horse or
sheep manure will ferment more quickly
than will cow manure. It is easy to de-
termine by close watching when this
change takes place.

It is not at all necessary to remove the
old manure so long as there is any
strength remaining, the main object be-
ing to have sufficient manure in the
barrel to make the liquid strong enough
to be of service to the plants. Frequent
weak feeding is safer and more beneficial
than strong doses at long intervals.

purpose? The house under consideration
is constructed with butted glass and con-
sequently there is more or less drip.

H. D. C.

If a permanent shading material is re-
quired on tne house in question, it would
be best to apply a coat of thin white
lead paint, but be sure that the paint is
thin when applied, for more or less dust
and dirt will stick to the paint and make
the shade more dense than is required.
If it is intended simply to shade lightly
for the summer, it would be best to use a
mixture of white lead and naphtha in-
stead of a linseed oil paint, but this mix-
ture would need to be applied each sea-
son, as it comes off with frost and snow.

Any shading paint should only be ap-
plied to the outside of the house, for
when applied to the inside of the glass
it soon becomes a harbor for minute
green fungi, giving the house an untidy
appearance and also creating more shade
than is good for most plants.

Pres.. J. W. Hill, Des Moines, la.; Vice-Pres.,
C. M. Hobbs, Bridgeport, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. C.
Seager, Rochester, N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates,
Rocherter, N. Y. The 33d annual convention will
be held at Milwaukee, June, 1908.

EoBiN Hartwell is now a partner in
his father's nursery business at Dixon,
111., and the firm is J. L. Hartwell & Son.

Simon & Son, of Beaumont, Tex., have
purchased a quarter section of land at
Stowell, Tex., on which they will es-
tablish a nursery for citrus fruits.

The city council of Cleveland, O., has
passed an ordinance providing for a fine
up to $100 for any person who shall
plant a tree without first procuring a
city license.

The Peters Nursery Co., of Knoxville,
Tenn., has now been incorporated, with
a capital stock of $25,000. The incor-
porators are S. V. Carter, L. D. Tyson,
G. W. Callahan, K. P. Gettys and R. E.
Gettys.

PiNUS EXCELSA, or Bhotan pine, resem-
oies the white pine in general appear-
ance, but it is a much shorter-lived tree.
It is a handsome tree. Its long, light
green needles droop gracefully from
long, slender branches. ThiS variety is
an exceedingly rapid grower and makes
an attractive specimen when given plenty
of room to develop.

Whenever opportunity occurs, Ber-
beris Thunbergii should be highly rec-
ommended to customers. This is really
one of the most satisfactory hardy shrubs
made use of today, and the better it is
known the greater the demand there
will be for it. This barberry can be ad-
vantageously planted in many ways. It
makes a splendid hedge of compact,
sturdy growth, requiring little or no
artificial means of keeping it in shape.
It makes an effective display when plant-
ed in a large or small group out in
the open lawn, as well as succeeding re-
markably well under the partial shade
of the overhanging branches of gigantic
trees.

When privet hedges get naked or bare
of foliage, from the base upwards, they
are not very ornamental and the sooner
the defect is remedied the better. In
most cases the best method of correct-
ing matters would be that of cutting
the plants back to within a foot or so
of the ground in spring, and this can
be done without any evil results, no mat-
ter how old the plants are. One good
quality of California privet is, that it
stands any amount of cutting. There
may be some objection, however, to this
method, because of the time that will
elapse before the plants are as large
as formerly. In the case of such an
objection having to be considered, the
hedge can be made permanently present-
able by planting young plants close up
to the old ones, thereby hiding the de-
fects of the latter. In a year or two
it will not be noticed that resort to
such a scheme had been necessary.

SHADOW MAKES ASSIGNMENT.

J. W. Shadow, proprietor of the Cedar
Hill Nursery and Orchard Co., Winches-
ter, Tenn., has made a voluntary assign-
ment in favor of Hugh Morton, trustee,
for the benefit of his creditors. The es-
* timated cash value of the assets is $60,-

000 and the liabilities are $42,000. In-
cluded in the assets are twenty-two peach
orchards in Alabama and Georgia. The
Cedar Hill Nursery did an average an-
nual business of $250,000 and employed
a large number of hands. The business
will be continued by the trustee and it is
said the obligations can be met within
a year.

SAN JOSE SCALE.

It is sometimes hard to discern San
Jose scale, and its presence may remain
unnoticed until it has accomplished a
great deal of injury. For that reason
it will be well, when spraying is under
way, to give the trees and shrubs the
benefit of the doubt by spraying every-
thing that is in any way likely to be in-
fested with this veritable scourge.

It is by no means safe to rely on what
has been accomplished in the destruction
of the San Jose scale by the spraying
done late in fall or in winter. The
chances are that a suflScient number of
these elusive and tenacious creatures have
escaped from former attempts at their
destruction to multiply to such an extent
as to cause serious damage at a later
time, when vegetation is in such a state
as to make the application of remedies
difficult.

There are many preparations of more
or less efficacy for destroying San Jose
scale, but it is perhaps on the whole just
as well to use Scalecide. It is fully
as effective as any other preparation and
it is easily obtainable in condition for

immediate use by simply adding water.
The mistakes liable to be made in the
preparation of other mixtures often cause
injury to trees, or cause the mixture*
to be ineffective. M.

DRAINAGE.

It is doubtless the case that some kinds
of trees and shrubs will thrive in land so
moist as to cause others to refuse to live
at all, or at most to exist for a time
under protest and then die. Even if
some trees thrive in what may be called
wet land, very few will thrive in land so
poorly drained that it is always in that
condition. Wet land is, generally speak-
ing, undesirable and. unprofitable for
nursery purposes, and the sooner it is
made otherwise by drainage the sooner
will it become profitable.

In such winters as this has so far been,
much good work in the way of draining
may be accomplished before the spring
work commences. Before beginning the
manual labor of draining a field, it will
perhaps save time in the future if the
exact locations of the intended drains,
outlets, etc., are marked clearly on a plat
of the field on paper, which should be
carefully preserved for reference in case
of trouble occurring in the drains, or the
necessity arising for a further extension
of the system. In draining, care should
be taken that no more laterals empty into
the main drain pipe than the capacity of
that main pipe warrants ; otherwise there
will sooner or later be trouble. M.

MONTREAL.

Various Notes.

When my last report was sent in we

"vvere buried under many feet of snow.

Now it has almost all disappeared and

we have had rain unceasingly for two

days.

Business is splendid. St. Valentine's
day called for all the red flowers, espe-
cially red tulips.

A big dance was given on the evening
of Valentine's day by one of Montreal's
leading families. Flowers were used in
abundance, American Beauties in partic-
ular; also daffodils, all colors of hya-
cinths, stocks, calla lilies, etc.

Another important occasion was the
Kilvert-Hanson wedding, which called
for lots of decoration work and large
bouquets.

J, Bennett has a large stock of splen-
did violets at present, which find a ready
sale.

Mrs. White's window of jonquils and
asparagus looked very attractive last
week.

Hall & Robinson have had a busy time
lately. Their business is always increas-
ing. Tommy.

WASHINGTON.

Current CommenU

"The best ever," is the report from
all the stores and market stands for Val-
entine 's day. It was a young Easter, so
to speak. Novelties sold well, such as
baskets, mail pouches, hats, hampers, etc.
Violets had the call. One F street store
alone sold 15,000.

A trip through the markets February
15 found all the stands filled to their
capacity with bulbous stuff. Single and
double jonquils were offered at 25 cents
per dozen, and tulips sold at any price.
Frank Slye is now personally in charge
of his new stand and reports business
good. Kramer's new stand, with new,
handsome fixtures, looks fine.

I still have a good lot of roots of the following varieties of Cannas. They are strong roots,

to name and unmixed. To close them out I offer them at the reduced prices annexed. Speak

quicljlv or it will be too late.

yellow. $2.00 per 100; |:18.00 per 1000.

and open. $2.00 per 100.

in effectiveness even the great and grand King Humbert. It is from Switzerland and is a cross
between Mme. Crozy and the Orchid-flowered section; uniting the splendid plant and freedom
of bloom of the former and the great size of flower and truss of the latter. The color is vivid
orange-scarlet and the flowers are very large, produced In large compact trusses, very lasting;

are held well above the foliage. It presents a veritable blaze of color from the flxst of June
until late October. 75c per doz.; $5.00 per 100.

£ olden yellow. $2.00 per 100.

inches and over. Price $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. Usual discount on large quantities.

Febbcart 20, 1908.

CARNATION CUTTINGS

We are in unusually good position to supply exceptionally well-
rooted, healthy stock. We have such a large quantity of flowering
plants that we propagate only from heel cuttings from flowering
shoots. Our cuttings are rooted in light, sunny, airy houses, and we
are sure will satisfy the most critical buyer.

A prominent carnation grower writes : "Tou seem to be the only
firm in the business that kno^vs how^ to pack stock and
liave It reach the buyer In Bood condition, and I have always
found your cuttings cheaper than the same varieties from others at
much lower figures."

While our prices may not always be the cheapest, we certainly
can give, quality considered, as good value as, if not better than,
is obtainable anywhere.

WINSOR,

which we introduced l8styear,has proved to be
the finest novelty introduced in years. We think
it is the most profitable variety grown today, considering its fine color,
splendid keeping qualities, and productiveness. When properly grown,
it leaves little to be desired, and almost everyone succeeds with it.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

The monthly meeting of the Spring-
field Floriats ' Club was held Tebruary 10,
with a fair attendance, considering the
inclement weather. Matters pertaining
to the spread of the civic improvement
idea, particularly through the efforts of
the retail dealers, were fully discussed.

The offer of P. M. Cartmell to donate
$100 to any block in an established por-
tion of the city, which would entirely
remove fences from its front lawns, was
again considered, and as a further in-
centive the club offered to plant flowers
in the yards and window boxes, on such
block, free of charge.

The following resolution was also
adopted: "That the officers of the club
inform the president of the city council
that if your honorable body will before
April 1, 1908, make the necessary altera-
tions, and provide for sodding and care,
the members of this club will for a
period of five years supply and plant on
the esplanade such bedding and orna-
mental stock as they deem in harmony
with the location and environments. This
offer is inspired by a desire to further
the idea embodied in the motto of our
clnb, 'Make Springfield beautiful,' and
we trust that it may meet ynth a prompt
acceptance and that we may.be duly no-
tified of any action by you in the mat-
ter."

This offer 'was promptly accepted by
the city council on the following Tuesday
evening. G. D.

NEV BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market

The cut flower trade remains about
as usual. A good supply of flowers is
now coming in. Prices have dropped
considerably. Carnations now retail at
50 cents per dozen; some growers are
retailing them at 35 cents per dozen.
This fall in prices is largely the result
of the recent warm spell, which caused
the flowers to open up quickly.

Roses are selling at $1.50 per dozen.
Retail stock is of good quality. Violets
are selling fairly well. They bring from
75 cents to $1 per hundred retail. Sweet
peas are now coming into this market.
They retail at $1 per hundred. Tulips
are to be seen of good quality. These
bring 60 cents per dozen retail. Paper
Whites and narcissi retail at 50 cents
per dozen.

Various Notes.

R. E. Ndfftz has at all times a very
attractive window display. He has an
immense stock of bulbs, which he is
bringing in all through the season. This
is one of his successful specialties.

At the last meeting of the New Bed-
ford Horticultural Society, February 10,
H. A. Jahn exhibited fifty blooms of his
prize-winning carnations, for which the
society awarded him a silver medal. Mr.
Jahn also exhibited his new seedling
crimson carnation. The society voted to
hold the fall show sometime in Septem-
ber, the date to be announced later. An
invitation was received from the Leigh-
ton Club, of Fairhaven, across the river,
to attend the lecture to be given at its
next meeting by the Farquhar brothers,
of Boston, who work together in giving
these illustrated lectures.

R. H. Woodhouse says that trade
has been good with him so far this
season. W. L.

WINONA

Ttie True Pink Carnation for 1908.

A color that attracts attention.

Once seen, always wanted.

Comes nearest to Fiancee, but is a different type flower. Never Bursts— Every Calyx Perfect. Good, shapely, active
growth. Blooms early and in quantity. A grand commercial variety. Give It a trial and compare the returns. We have a
large stock, clean and healthy. Will guarantee every cutting to be flrstclaas. Order now for early delivery. Price, $12.00
per 100; $100.00 per 1000. Larger lots, prices on application. With our additional glass we have more than doubled our
stock of Carnation plants, and can fill orders for rooted cuttings to even better satisfaction than in past years.

NEWPORT, R. L

Ctirrent Comment.

This winter will easily get on record
as one of the old-fashioned kind, of
which the old folks tell us so much. From
now I doubt if many will care to hear a
great deal about such old-fashioned hap-
penings. The majority will prefer, rather,
to think of some other kind. A year ago
there was not as much bright sunlight as
we are having this year, but for some
reason or other roses and carnations are
not doing any better in this locality than
they were this time last year.

If it were not for an unusual demand
for funeral pieces, there would not bo
much of a demand locally for cut flowers;
Funerals have been more than ordinarily
numerous lately, and it so happened that
many of those who have * * crossed the
bar" were prominent among their fel-
lows. The consequence, of course, is that
a correspondingly large amount is spent
on floral tributes. The legend, "Please
omit flowers," occasionally appears in
the death notices in the daily papers, but
nevertheless, it invariably happens that
flowers are sent, and, curiously enough,
those responsible for the intimation ap-
parently anticipate just such action and
appreciate it none the less.

The oflicers of the Newport Horticul-
tural Society are doing all they can at
the outset of their term of office to make
this a year of results. Somehow, for a
year or two the members of this society
were content to meet in small numbers
and transact the necessary business
without much concern about the possibil-
ity of doing things that would produce
great results. The exhibitions of the so-
ciety and all matters connected with
them were notable exceptions to that con-
dition. The exhibitions are always af-
fairs capable of inspiring enthusiasm.
This year the educational capability of
the society is receiving attention. On
February 25 Robert Cameron will read a
paper on ' ' Annuals and Biennials. ' '
R. R.

De Kalb, III. — Recently the ten-year-
old son of J. L. Johnson was nearly suf-
focated, while asleep, by a smoldering
fire in the bed clothes, which had been
ignited by a hot flat-iron placed at the
boy's feet.

Portland, Me. — On the morning of
February 9, a fire at the greenhouses of
Niles Nelson caused a loss of a few
hundred dollars. The fire originated in
some scraps or refuse and was confined
entirely to the boiler-room.

REASONS

MAY'

Why You Should Plant MAY

May is a strictly commercial variety. Business
from beginning to end.

It comes into bloom early and continues unin-
terruptedly until the end of the season.

It is freer than any other light pink we know of.

The size of the bloom is just what you want in
quantity, 2}4 to 'Syi inches.

The color is deeper and brighter and more even
than Enchantress and holds better.

The form is well shown in illustration.
It is not so crowded in the center as Enchant-
ress, therefore opens quicker.

The calyx never splits and stem is always strong.

The plant grows strong and upright and about
as tall as Lady Bountiful.

Makes nice plants in the field and transplants
easily.

We invite yOu to come and see our stock of it
any time; you will like its habit.

The garden committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society recently visited the

largely planted and which has been shown at Boston and other shows, was looking fine. It is
the most wonderfully prolific white the committee had seen. The flower is large, full and the
stem ideal.— Boston News-letter in Nov. 28, 1907, issue of The Floeists' Review.

favorite flower. Ked carnations were also
extensively used. There was a fair de-
mand for roses and pot plants.

The anticipated trip to Kichmond has
been postponed from February 19 to
February 26. All parties interested will
please take notice. With good weather,
quite a number of the city florists will
make the trip, which is always instructive
and enjoyable.

Henry W. Rieman has a fine lot of cy-
clamens and cinerarias in popular sizes
and has had great success in disposing of
them. The cyclamens are especially fine,
being grown from the best imported seed,
and they show the care that has been
bestowed on them.

The new lights installed in the Tom-
linson market add much to its appearance
and show the flowers to greater advan-
tage than formerly.

The City Florists' Club met at H. W.
Rieman 's February 12. Quite a number
turned out and spent a social evening to-
gether. The meeting next month will be
at Fred Hukriede's place.

Mr. Stuart, of Anderson, and Chas.
Knopf, of Richmond, were in the city on
business this week. S.

AURORA, ILL.

The new range of greenhouses just
completed by the W. B. Davis Co. is said
by visitors to have the finest heating sys-
tem ever installed in a greenhouse estab-
lishment. The entire plant of 100,000
feet of glass is heated from one boiler-
room, containing four steam boilers of
100 horse-power each. The Morehead
trap system is used, but the entire steam
fitting system is laid out in a way that
is quite different from the usual plan.
The ideas are original, being conceived
and executed by the members of the com-
pany. The system is well worth investi-
gating by anyone interested in up-to-date
ideas in heating. H. G.

Jacksonville, Fla. — Sawyer & Payne
are preparing to build three or four
greenhouses and set out quite an exten-
sive nursery.

Raleigh, N. C. — J. L. O'Quinn has
filed a complaint with the corporation
commission against the Southern Express
Co., on account of the discontinuance of
express service on certain trains. Mr.
O'Quinn alleges that his trade with the
east and west has been injured by the
withdrawal of the service from these
trains.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

February 20, 1908.

TOLEDO, OHIO.

Current G>mment.

* ' Business was better on Valentine 's
(lay this year than on the same day
any former year, as far as I can re-
member." This remark was made by
Miss Henrietta Suder, and the same
opinion is expressed by every local dealer.

The florists expected a set-back when
the rain began to pour early on Val-
entine's day, and had visions of thou-
sands of flowers left on their hands when
the day was over, but the surprise came
when nearly every store sold out entirely
by nightfall, despite the fact that the
rain poured steadily all day.

The Youngstown Floral Co. disposed of
14,000 violets during the day and had
a splendid nin on roses and carnations.
This company made a specialty of boxes
containing a large number of assorted
flowers, which were sold at $1 per box.

Geo. A. Heinl sold every flower in the
store before evening, having a great call
for violets as well as a fine sale of
spring flowers.

The Schoen Floral Co., O. B. Wisner
and others, report a splendid business
during the day.

Joseph H. Sigrist reports an unusually
large sale of violets last week.

George Heinl has returned from Terre
Haute, Ind., where he spent three weeks
with his brother. Mr. Heinl is greatly
improved in health. H. L. S.

Wilmington, N. C. — At the Academy
of Music, where the Knights of Pythias
and their invited guests were addressed
recently by Supreme Chancellor Barnes,
the stage of the hall was decorated for
the occasion by Wm. Kehder.

Negaunee, Mich. — The Negaunee
Nursery & Greenhouses, established in
1895 by the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Co.,
have developed rapidly during the last
few years and now ship considerable
nursery stock to distant points. The
nursery is said to be the only one in the
upper peninsula.

Oakland, Md. — The H. Weber & Sons
Co. is growing seedling carnations so ex-
tensively that few standard sorts are to
be found on the place. Toreador is on
trial at a number of widely separated
localities and its introduction will depend
on results, although the Weber Co. will
in any event grow it largely for cut flow-
ers next season.

MoLiNE, III.— The Tri-City Florists'
Association held its regular monthly
meeting February 13 at the residence of
Julius Staack. The subject, "Propaga-
tion of Easter Stock," was discussed,
Henry Gaethje and Henry Myers taking
part. There was a good attendance. The
Aprjl meeting will be held at the home of
H. M. Bills, of the Bills Floral Co.,
Davenport.

DETROIT.

The Market

Business for Valentine's day exceeded
all expectations. Violets sold much bet-
ter than last year, probably owing to the
better quality of the flowers. There was
a good demand for flowers of all kinds.
Blooming plants sold remarkably well.
The weather up to Thursday was all
that could be expected, but on Friday
the weather man went back on the flo-
rists. It rained all day, and if you add
to this a lot of thawing snow you can
well imagine the effect on business. It
was just like putting on the lid.

Business in general has been satisfac-
tory. There is considerable funeral work.
Roses about equal the demand. Carna-
tions are still a little too plentiful. Con-
siderable bulbous stock is arriving.

Various Notes.

A water main burst in front of G.
H. Taepke 's Gratiot avenue store about 6
o'clock in the evening of February 12.
The car tracks and sidewalks on that
side of the street were undermined and
the street was turned into a veritable
river for some time. The water in Mr.
Taepke 's store was about five inches deep,
"but as the floor is of tile and there is no
basement it caused little damage. Some
business, of course, was lost through the
accident, as it was necessary to close off
that side of the street for nearly a whole
day.

J. F. Sullivan is again back at the
store, after being absent nearly six weeks.
The St. Valentine's business at his place
was exceptionally good.

J. H. Smith, proprietor of Peter Smith
& Sons' grocery, is building four green-
houses in East Sandwich, Ontario. Two
of the houses are to be devoted to vege-
tables and two to growing flowers. Mr.
Smith has about seventy-five acres of
land and intends to erect more houses
from time to time. The J. C. Moninger
Co. has the contract.

The Detroit Cut Flower Supply House
reports a good St. Valentine's business.
About twice as many violets could have
been disposed of if they could have been
procured.

Every Monday about 8,000 to 15,000
rooted cuttings of Winsor, W. Enchant-
ress, Beacon, etc., are shipped broad-
east over the countrv by B. Schroeter.

Rock Island, III. — Ludwig Stapp is
preparing to build a new house for car-
nations during the coming summer. It
will be the first wide house ever built
here, the dimensions being 51x160.

fireenhoase Heating.

Eeferring to the overflowing of ex-
pansion tanks, W. E. Ernsberger, of
Norwalk, O., expresses the opinion that
it is not necessary, in any case, that the
tank should be more than two feet above
the highest point of the radiation. The
trouble mentioned, he says, can be ob-
viated by running a small pipe from the
top of the heater, or from the highest
point of the flow pipe, up over the top
of the expansion tank, for a relief. His
heating plant is so adjusted and works
well.

PIPING IN CONNECTICUT.

I am having trouble with the heating
of my house, which is 21x104 feet, with
6-foot posts on the north side and 4-foot
posts on the south side. It is a three-
quarter span house, facing the south.
The sashbars on the north side are about
nine feet long and on the south side
about sixteen feet long. The north side
is all boarded up; on the west end is the
boiler-house; the east end is all glass
except two feet of boards near the
ground ; on the south side there are
twenty inches of glass. The ridge pole is
twelve feet high. The building stands
in an open, bleak place, exposed on all
sides.

I am using a lO-inch tile chimney.
Would a brick chimney be better, and of
what size? The tile chimney is sixteen
feet high, extending four feet above the
ridge pole. I have a hot water heating
system. I have two 2i/i>-inch flows and
eight 2-inch returns. The maximum heat-
ing capacity of the boiler is rated at
1,000 feet of 4-inch pipe, but I can
hardly get my l\pu8e above freezing in
zero weather, and during our last cold
snap, with heavy winds, I froze every-
thing up. I am not able to get the
flow of water back to the boiler hot.
The place where my boiler stands is on
low ground and I cannot dig a pit, but
I have a fall of three feet and a half
from the upper end of the greenhouse to
the return on the boiler. Now, what size
of boiler in rating will it take to heat
this house to 60 degrees at zero outside,
and how much more pipe? L. C. A.

In regard to heating your house, I
would suggest that you run the two 2%-
inch risers as overhead risers and that
each one be used to supply seven 2-incli
returns, thus making fourteen 2-inch re-
turns in the house in addition to the two
2%-inch risers. Your boiler should have

PIPING IN KANSAS.
I want to build three connected green-
houses, 28x150 feet each and thirteen
feet to the ridge, with side walls five
feet and a half high. The glass is to be
butted, with glass in both ends but none
on the side. There will be a concrete
wall on the east side and a double board
wall on the west. The boiler-shed will
be at the south end. The houses will

run north and south. Each house will
be divided into four 5-foot beds, with
2-foot walks between. I will heat with
steam.

What will be the best way to pipe the
houses? I want to use 1%-inch pipe for
the returns. Will two 2-inch flow pipes
under the purlins, running from a 2-inch
boiler manifold to the back end of the
house and then dividing for the return
pipes, be all right? How many returns
will be required to hold the house at 60
degrees when it is 15 degrees below zero
outside?

in each house and eighteen 1 14 -inch re-

plant. By using overhead flow pipes and
holding the returns as high as possible,
all condensation can be carried to a hot
well and returned to the boiler by means
of a steam trap. A return tubular boiler,
brick set, to do this work should have a
capacity to handle about 5,000 feet of
radiation. A boiler rated at fifty horse-
power should do the work. A common
size of such a boiler is fifty-four inches
by thirteen feet, with 684 square feet of
heating surface. The grate surface will
vary a little with the kind of fuel used.
The rule is, one square foot of grate sur-
face to forty square feet of heating sur-
<'ace for hard coal, and one to eighty
for soft coal. For hard coal a fifty horse-
power boiler should have seventeen
square feet of grate and for soft coal
about nine or ten square feet.

The Market.

There has been no room to complain on
business for Valentine's day, which was
much heavier than last year. Violets
held full sway, as usual, and most of the
houses were out of them early in the day.
There were loads of other stock, which
moved well, especially after violets had
run out. Bulb stock was in abundance
and, from all reports, everything was
cleaned up nicely.

Azaleas are in good supply and they
move nicely at good prices. The demand
on funeral work is still heavy and takes
up stock just about as it comes in.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting February 11. There was a good
attendance. The secretary read an invi-
tation from Mrs. Griswold, at Worthing-
ton, O., inviting the club to a supper and
a dance February 25. No doubt a big
crowd will attend. The members are all
worked up on the bowling question. They
voted to form a regular club and the fol-
lowing officers were elected: Captain,
Jacob Reichert; secretary, Wm. Metz-
maier; treasurer, Jas. McKellar. It was
decided to form a team of the five high-
est rollers, and any time any other mem-
ber makes a higher average he goes into
the team and the other one drops out.
So there will be some tall bustling to get
into the team and to stay in.

month hence the days are much longer,
the sun has considerably more power and
all bulbous plants come along very falst.
You can start the jonquils or narcissi in
batches as needed. They will flower in
from three to four weeks in a night
temperature of 55 degrees. C. W.

IN THE SUNNYiSOUTH.
The coat of arms of the city of Savan-
nah, Ga., is represented in the accom-
panying illustration. It is the design
which the Daughters of the Confederacy
of Georgia sent to the unveiling of the
Jefferson Davis monument at Eichmond,
Va., and was made by Albert C. Oelschig,
the youngest member of the firm of A, C.
Oelschig & Sons. The design stood over
six feet high and was nearly as wide.
The flowers used were valley and blue
hydrangeas, with longiflorum lilies set
among the hydrangeas, the blue flowers
being used to give the proper color. The
background of the plaque was of smilax
and at the base caladium leaves were
used.

MAKING UP BASKETS.

Plant Baskets.

There are really three classes into
which to divide floral baskets, namely,
plant baskets, baskets of flowers and a
combination of both. As it is possible
to describe only one at a time, let us
take the first.

Before going into details in regard to
the planting or arranging of plant bas-
kets, would it not be a good plan to talk
over the various good reasons why every
live, up-to-date flower store should at
all times display some made up baskets?
As we are all in the business for the
good, honest dollar, just size up the
basket proposition and see where the
dollars come in. In the first place,
there are always some plants that will
not sell readily unless they are dressed
up, so to speak. Among these, for in-
stance, are small palms with maybe one
or more broken leaves, blooming plants
that are quite far advanced or of a poor
shape, etc. This is one reason why bas-
kets are profitable, for by working such
stoek into baskets it will not only sell
readily, but give satisfaction to the pur-
chaser. '

Then, again, the larger stores are al-
ways compelled to keep on hand a nice
assortment of empty baskets of various
shapes and colors. Some of these are
sure to become shop-worn, no matter
how careful we may be. The color may
fade or the handle get broken. These,
when made up, make just as fine bas-
kets as new ones. I have found it a
good plan to give some of the more
soiled a coat of olive green paint or
some other suitable color.

Another reason why you should and
will sell plant baskets is, because they
make most appropriate gifts, which
cannot help but please the recipients.
What better gift could be sent than a
nicely arranged basket of plants!
riowers last but a few days at the most,
while a single plant would hardly seem
enough to send. Then there are store
openings or store decorations. Set a
few baskets around on the counters,
charging a fair rental for them. Last
but not least, a few seasonable baskets
standing around in your store will add
much to its attractiveness and, even if

they do not sell at once, they may sell
some other article for you.

Various Shapes.

There is really no limit to the num-
ber of shapes of baskets, but a great
many of these are not good for use as
plant baskets. In fact, some are not of
much use for anything but an ornament.
Still, we must carry an assortment. In
most cases when a person buys a basket
of plants, he does so be(!ause he wants
an article that will last longer than cut
flowers. Many people will take care of
the plants and make them last a long
time, and I consider it a good adver-
tisement if our flowers and plants last
well. You may say that if they keep
too long you will not sell as many, but
this I consider poor logic.

deep to fill with an assortment of plants.
A basket of this style looks well with
a tall plant in the center and several
low ones planted around the bottom.
Still another shape is one that is all
handle and fancy work, with no room
for plants. This you would better pass
by. Next we run across some pretty
birch-bark hampers. These are artistic
when well filled. Now we come to the
good, common-sense shape of basket;
one that is of a reasonable depth, say
about four to six inches, with the width
and length in proportion. This is the
shape that will make the nicest plant
basket of any.

In all plant baskets there should be
a tin to retain the moisture and prevent
it from soiling tables, as well as to keep
the plants in better condition. Most
supply houses include the tin with the
baskets if this is desired. If you have
the tins made by a local tinsmith, ex-
plain to him that all you want is the
cheapest material that will hold water
and that you do not want any fancy-
work. This will reduce the cost consid-
erably.

If you are making up a basket of
plants for sale, plant them with just as
much care as if they were being potted
up in single pots. If only for tem-

The Coat of Arms of Savannah.

^With the above in mind, let us just
size up our stock of baskets and see
what wo find. First we run across a
basket with a rounding bottom, the
deepest part of which is only two inch-
es, while at the sides it has no depth at
all. Such a one may be all right for
flowers, but it is of no use to us at pres-
ent. Then there is the other extreme,
one shaped more like a vase, almost too

porary use at some store opening, you
can use sphagnum moss to fill in; this
will retain the moisture for some time.
If in an emergency you have no time to
have a tin made, then line the bottom
of the basket with some tinfoil. For
temporary filling it is really not neces-
sary to take the larger plants out of
the pots, providing you have room for
them. Hugo Schroeter.

DUTY ON ROSE CUTTINGS.

Rose cuttings that have been rooted
in sand, but have never in fact been in
soil, are not dutiable as "rose plants"
under paragraph 252, tariff act of 1897,
but as ' ' cuttings of plants commonly
known as nursery or greenhouse stock,"
under the same paragraph.

The decision is final, for it is that of
the United States Court of Appeals for
the Second District of New York, to
which the Secretary of the Treasury took
it on appeal from the Circuit Court of
the United States for the Western Dis-
trict of New York.

The case grew out of an importation
of rooted tea rose cuttings by the South
Park Floral Co., New Castle, Ind., al-
though it was in the name of the Ameri-
can Express Co. The cuttings came
from the Dale Estate, in Canada, and
the collector at Buffalo assessed duty at
the rate of 2iy<2 cents each, as rose plants.
The importers protested and the Board
of General Appraisers upheld them, or-
dering that duty be assessed at twenty-
five per cent ad valorem, as provided for
"cuttings of greenhouse stock." The
Government held that the board had
erred in so deciding and directed that an
appeal be taken to the Circuit Court of
the United States. This court upheld the
importer and the Board of General Ap-
praisers, but the Government was not yet
satisfied and took the case one step high-
er, to the Court ^f Appeals, which de-
cided, February 11, that rooted cuttings
that have never been in soil are not ' * rose
plants" and are to be admitted at the
lower rate of duty. The Government
loses its case.

ANTHRACNOSE.

We are sending you under separate
cover a sample of some roses which are
giving us trouble. These roses are in
solid beds; new houses running north
and south. The soil is a fine, sandy
loam and is considered excellent farm
land. The soil was mixed with a mod-
erate quantity of well rotted manure at
the time of planting, which was about
the middle of July, as the construction
of the houses would not permit earlier
planting. Considering the time of plant-
ing, the roses have done fairly well ex-
cept that this trouble was beginning to
show itself in November a little, and
has gradually grown worse. While it
usually shows itself on plants that seem
to have been less sturdy than the rest,
it has taken several that were making

fine, large, strong growth. Perhaps the
first sign would be a drooping of the
flower bud, and then in a few days the
plant is ruined. Others show at first
one branch as diseased, with the bad
leaves; then usually the rest of the plant
follows, and right by it may be a fine,
healthy looking plant that does not show
an imperfect leaf. This helps fo puzzle
us, as it seems to us if it were bad wa-
ter or soil it would more nearly affect
all alike. Bride, Maid, Chatenay and
Killarney all show it more or less, but
our Richmond so far are entirely free.
As I stated, the soil is sandy and with
an open subsoil, and it would be impos-
sible, almost, to overwater them, even if
we were not careful. Carnations grown
in solid beds in the same soil have done
splendidly, and so have sweet peas. Pot
plants in the same soil have done fairly
well; such as have done indifferently
we can, we think, trace to other reasons
than soil. I have written at length so
that you may have as nearly as possible
all the facts in the case. W. H. C.

The specimen sent was in bad condi-
tion when it reached me, but from your
explicit and concise letter, and from
what I could detect in the specimen, it
looks as if the plants were suffering
from rose anthracnose, a most trouble-
some disease and difficult to eradicate.

These symptoms as described by you
arc the true symptoms of this trouble,
and where the disease has got such a
hold it is the most profitable way to
throw the stock out and replant with
clean, vigorous stock.

The cause of this disease is difficult to
determine, but it usually attacks plants
of low vitality — plants which have been
propagated from weak stock. It is also
encouraged and fostered by damp atmos-
phere and deficient ventilation, although
I have seen bad cases of it in houses
which were perfect in these respects.

I would advise not. to propagate from
such stock. RiBES.

AN OLD-FASHIONED ROSE.

What is the name of a common, old-
fashioned yellow rose that grows about
four feet high, is very thorny on the
young shoots and bears a profusion of
flowers, which, though considerably
doubled, have a great many stamens
and carpels? It blooms about the end
of May in a latitude of 40 degrees.
It is somewhat inclined to sucker.

J. L. D.

Persian Yellow is probably the variety
you have reference to. Austrian Yel-
low and Harrison's Yellow are some-
what similar sorts. All are hardy.

ROSY MORN PETUNIA. .

While great progress has been made in
improving varieties of bedding plants,
the list of plants suitable for bedding
has not increased much, and on grounds
where there is no gardener who has
charge of the flower beds, only such
plants can be recommended as will, with
even little care, be effective. Petunias,
as a rule, are not ideal bedders. The
variety Snowball is quite attractive in
mass planting, as a white. Howard 's Star
can be used to great advantage for
veranda-boxes or rustic hanging baskets.
But many of the double sorts have colors
which cannot be used with any other
flowers, and for bedding, they are, on
account of their straggly growth, not to
be recommended. Rosy Morn, however,
is a most valuable bedder. It has a
small flower of a beautiful rose-pink
color, with a white throat, is a constant
bloomer and of a rather dwarf habit.
It comes true from seed, which, if sown
about March 1, will produce, if pinched
back several times, nice, bushy stock
by May. Whenever its color is desired,
and a plant is wanted which will, with
but little attention, bloom until frost,
it should be recommended. F. B.

EXPERIMENT STATIONS.

[A synopsis of a paper by A. C. Beal, read
before the Illinois State Florists' Association,
at Springfield, February 19, 1908.]

With the ever increasing interest and
support of the farmers in the state ex-
periment stations, their work has been
broadened. It would be difficult at the
present time to find any agricultural in-
terest which does not receive some recog-
nition on the part of some experiment
station.

Floriculture is one, of the interests
which more recently has received a lit-
tle attention from the stations. It seems
incredible that an industry representing
so large an investment of capital, and
with an annual product of so great value,
has not received more recognition. Ac-
cording to the census of 1900, the amount
of capital invested in floriculture was
$52,462,419, and the wholesale value of
the product is given at $18,422,522.
Since 1900 the florists' business has de-
veloped wonderfully and the investment
is not far from $100,000,000 for the
whole country. What interest of such
magnitude has been given less recogni-
tion?

In this connection it is well to bear in
mind that when the stations were
founded the farmer was the one to whom
those in charge of the work looked for
support and whom they sought to bene-
fit. Most men, and the farmers least
of all, know little about plant growing
under glass, and they generally have a
sort of contempt for the man whose
operations are confined to a small area.
The farmers might be surprised to learn
that there are florists in Illinois who
grow under glass more rose or carnation
plants than there are hills of corn on
fifty acres of land. If they had any ade-
quate conception of the amount of han-
dling, pruning, tying, etc., to care for
this number of plants as compared with
cultivating the same number of hills of
corn, they would have a better opinion
of the florists* business.

There has been some work done for
florists by the experiment stations. Of
those publications dealing with flowers,
except a few bulletins from Cornell, prac-
tically all treat of insects and diseases.

REFLECTIONS OF A GROWER.

To-day, as I labored with trowel and hose

To grow. In perfection, the beautiful rose,

As I looked on Us beauty and quaffed Its per-
fume,

I thought, alas! of Its ultimate doom.

When Its beauty and fragrance have vanished
away,

Its purpose Is served, though It be but a day.

Then I think, can It be that I've labored in
vain?

Has my toll brought only personal gain?

I reflect again. Ah, happy thought!

Perhaps to some life It has happiness brought;

Perhaps at some bedside Its beauty was shed.

Or Its purity some life to better things led;

Perhaps graced the altar, while vows were
made.

Or on the grave of some loved one 'twas laid.

It may have done good in a thousand ways

With Its Influence spread, like the briglit sun's
rays.

Life's dreary pathways it may have brightened;

Life's many cares It has surely lightened.

Ah, truly my labors have not been In vain:

The thought gives me cheer and courage again.

Though the dally wage be ever so small

And the calloused hands much toll recall.

Ah, be happy, O toller 'neath roof of glass.

Be not discouraged or lightly pass

The beantlful chance that Is offered you

To happiness cause, and much goo<l do

By life's pathways with roses strewing.

Ah, be not weary in well doing.

PRIMULA OBCONICA.

Despite the fact that Primula obcouica
is one of the most useful plants for the
retail grower, one can find many placea
•without them. What other plant adapts
itself to so many uses, in places where
blooming plants are wanted from Novem-
ber until Easter f From what other plant
<5an one cut flowers during this period,
that make as good material for de-
sign work, and only too often at times
when roses and carnations are bringing
high prices! If ever any one flower
should be called ' ' Cut and come again, ' '
it is the obconica. Few of them are
seen at the wholesale houses. It is not
a flower one would look for there. Only
the out-of-town grower who conducts a

retail place can fully appreciate its
value.

It grows in almost any soil, so long as
it is in a temperature a few degrees
higher than Primula Chinensis, is not
allowed to get too potbound, and is not
neglected with watering. For early flow-
ering, sow now. If the seeds are not
too old, every one will germinate.

There are now advertised a number of
varieties, or which Primula obconica gi-
gantea is perhaps the most beautiful as
far as habit and size of flower are con-
cerned, yet for free blooming Primula
obconica grandiflora is by far the best.
The flowers are twice as large as the
type, over which • it is an improvement
in this respect. There is a rose or pink
variety which is good; also a red or
crimson one, which, however, is far from
being either, as there is too much purple
in it. The white is the best. F. B.

ZONAL GERANIUMS.

Excellent Christmas Plants.

It is satisfactory to note a growing de-
mand for zonal geraniums, or pelargo-
niums as they are more properly called,
for winter flowering. As yet they are
less grown commercially than their
beauty and comparative ease of culture
entitle them to be. For winter blooming,
singles of the English round-flowered sec-
tion are decidedly preferable to doubles
for Christmas sales. Nothing could be
better than some of these splendid varie-
ties, the individual florets on such sorts as
J. M. Barrie and Duke of Bedford aver-
aging two inches and a half to three
inches in diameter. While plants would
not stand shipping long distances, for
local trade and near-by markets they offer
great attractions.

The illustrations show a few plants,

mostly grown in 6-inch pots, as they ap-
peared a few days before Christmas. Cut-
tings rooted by the first of March and
grown along will produce similar plants
if properly cared for. More explicit cul-
tural directions will be found in the last
two paragraphs of this article.

Paul Crampel is a magnificent bright
scarlet, as good for bedding as for pot
culture. It is a very compact grower,
dwarf and vigorous. Trusses are of im-
mense size and as brilliant in coloring as
poinsettias. This unique sort should dis-
place others of its color now in general
use.

Duke of Bedford is a beautiful crim-
son, with immense florets. It has a small
white eye as a distinguishing feature.-
The habit is excellent and a plant carry-
ing several of the huge trusses of bloom
would sell on sight.

Gertrude Pearson is a well-known vari«
ety, with peach pink colored flowers. It
has an ideal habit, and while the trusses
are somewhat smaller than in some of
the newer sorts, they are produced with
groat freedom. It is equally good for
bedding and for pot culture.

Anna Defeuillet is the finest of all the
pink varieties. The color is a clear sal-
mon pink, which is beautiful under nat-
ural light and even finer under artificial
conditions. This, I believe, is one of M.
Lemoine's seedlings. It is certainly a
gem, but is listed by very few growers.

Ian Maclaren is not a new variety, and
while scarcely so deep an orange shade
as Emile Zola, one of Lemoine's finest
productions, it is remarkably effective as
a pot plant, having a sturdy habit, and
the large trusses of salmon orange flow-
ers are produced on stout stalks. For
outdoor culture this variety is less re-
liable.

scarlet and crimson are: Jacquerie, Paul
Crampel, Cannell's Crimson Bedder,
Richmond Beauty, The Sirdar, Duke of
Bedford and Mrs. E. Rawson,

Cuttings of zonal geraniums should be
placed in 2-inch or 2^ -inch pots during
January or February, using a compost of
sandy loam. Stand the pots quite close
together, on a bench where a little bot-
tom heat will reach them. Give a good
soaking of water and let them become
rather dry before watering again. Avoid
syringings overhead, which are more
harmful than beneficial. The plants need
no shade whatever and ninety-five per
cent should root. Shift to 4-inch pots
when nicely rooted and later to 6-inch,
where they may be flowered unless extra
large plants are required, in which case
a further shift to 8-inch may be given.

For the final pottings a compost of
turfy loam and well rotted and dried cow
manure, to which are added some sharp
sand and a pinch of bone meal, is suit-
able. Pot quite firmly. The plants will
need some pinching until the end of Aug-
ust, after which time, if desired for
Christmas flowering, it can be discontin-
ued. Our experience has been that the
plants do better kept under glass all the
time, giving them a little shade in sum-
mer. In feeding avoid the use of too
much liquid manure. It produces too rank
and soft growth. Occasional top-dress-
ings with such highly concentrated foods
as Clay's fertilizer are to be preferred.

W. N. Craig.

A FINE BORDER GRASS.

The florist who grows bedding plants
is sometimes short of suitable border
plants for beds of cannas or other tall-
growing plants. While this does not
mean to say that Abutilon Souvenir de
Bonn, or Savitzii, or coleus are not most
useful for this purpose, the more of a
variety one has to oflfer the more apt
one is to suit the different tastes. Pen-
nisetum longistylum is not a new thing,
yet outside of the public parks or large
places little of it is seen; still it gives
a formal bed a most finished appear-
ance. When covered with white plumes
in August it forms a most beautiful con-
trast against bronze-leaved cannas. It
can also be made use of to good effect
with salvias or caladiums, or in clumps
along shrub-borders. Its cultivation is I

simple. Seed sown now will make nice
plants in 3-inch or 3 V^ -inch pots, eight
to ten inches high by planting-out time.
The seedlings look tiny, and it is well to
put three or four together when trans-
planting them. Around a bed twelve
to fourteen inches should be allowed be-
tween the plants, so as to prevent them
from growing straggly. F. B.

CYCLAMENS.

Their Increasing Popularity.

One notices with pleasure that there is
a distinct revival of interest in these
useful midwinter flowers. When the mel-
ancholy days are with us, the shortest,
saddest and most uninteresting of the
year, it is well to have something bright
in the way of plants, something of an
assured cheerfulness, which will give
color to the conservatory or to the flo-
rist's window. What can one find better
for this purpose than a well grown batch

of cyclamens? Surely we could wish for
no prettier sight than these plants, orna-
menting the greenhouse during the dull-
est days of winter with their mottled
foliage and brightly colored flowers. It
is true we have hyacinths, tulips and
various other sorts of forced bulbous
stuff during the early months of the year.
But at the best these are common and
artificial to a true lover of flowers.

I have always flattered myself that I
understood thoroughly the wishes and
tastes of that mighty personage, the man
in the street, or woman, as the case may
be, and I have frequently noted how a
nice pot of cyclamen catches the eye.
Low-growing, neat and demure, with its
beautiful, fantastic flowers in various
shades of color, it never fails to make an
impression upon the ladies. There is
something bizarre, something Frenehy if
I may use the expression, which appeals
to them.

Recent Improvement in Quality.

One of the best proofs we have of the
utility of this class of plants is to be
found in the various seed firms, in this
country and in Europe, which have lately
turned their attention to the improve-
ment of their cyclamens. And, thanks
to a rigid system of selection adopted
by them, cyclamens at the present day
have attained a development and a vari-
ety of color which can hardly be sur-
passed.

Plants of almost any species are a
pleasure to look at when well grown. It
is, however, even more so with cycla-
mens. When badly grown they are a
horror and an abomination. On the other
hand, when well grown they are, in the
language of the Greeks, "a sicht for
sair een. ' ' While cyclamens are of easy
culture, it does not necessarily follow
that they do not require care and atten-
tion during the various stages of their
development.

It should scarcely be necessary for me
to remind growers of the great impor-
tance of buying good seed. It cannot be
too clearly understood that good cycla-
mens cannot be grown from cheap seed.
If plants of good quality are desired.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Zonal Geranium Anna DefeuilleU

you must procure your seed from some
firm that makes a specialty of this class
of plants. You may have to pay more
for it, but the little extra outlay will
repay you in the end.

The Most Suitable SotL

Soil is also a matter of considerable
importance with this class of plants.
Growers' opinions differ as to what con-
stitutes an ideal soil for cyclamens. We
must, however, be guided in this respect
by our own judgment and have an intel-
ligent idea as to what the plants will
best appreciate in the various stages of
their development. When in a young
state, a soil of a light texture should be
used, in which leaf -soil, charcoal and .
sand are the chief ingredients. For the
final potting, a fairly rich compost may
be used, I would suggest a soil made
up of two parts good fibrous loam and
one part leaf-soil, with also a liberal
amount of sand and fine charcoal. Bone
meal may also be added at the rate of a
5-inch potful to each barrow load of soil.
In England most growers sterilize the
soil which they use for their cyclamens,
saying that by doing so they prevent dis-
ease, and judging from my own experi-
ence I believe it does to a great extent.
We must admit that a great many of the
diseases which have become so numerous
in plant life get into the system of the
plants in the earlier stages of their ex-
istence, or, I might say, during the
process of seed germination. At any
rate, it is tolerably certain that disease
germs exist in most soils. Hence, if all
soil used for potting purposes were steril-
ized, the chances of disease would cer-
tainly be considerably reduced.

Judicious W^atering.

Care in watering is another important
point to remember. Cyclamens require
at all times a liberal supply of water,
but at the same time one must use a
little judgment. It often happens that
indiscriminate watering with the hose,
followed by dull weather or low tempera-
ture, causes the soil to become excess-
ively wet. The result is, the soil becomes
clogged, the fine roots perish and a sickly
yellow tint appears among the young

i7^j' ^^^^^ ^s sometimes erroneously
called a disease. Careful watering is
absolutely essential at all times, and for

this reason I would use the watering can
in preference to the hose, especially
after the flowers begin to appear on the
surface of the corm.

The Cyclamen Mite.

Few growers can have missed, at some
time or another, making the unpleasant
acquaintance of the dreaded cyclamen
mite. A sharp lookout should be kept at
all times for this destructive pest, and
as soon as it is noticed the affected
plants should be burned. If plenty of
soot and tobacco stems are kept between
the pots, it will be impossible for the
mite to exist. Syringing once a week
with weak soot water will also act as a

preventive, as the mite shows great aver-
sion to soot in any form.

In most establishments cyclamens are
grown in frames during the summer
months. We should see that a free cir-
culation of air is always kept among the
plants, and during the mild, dewy even-
ings in the fall the lights should be re-
moved, to give the plants the full benefit
of the heavy dews. Kegarding shade, I
strongly advocate the use of tiffany, or
fine canvas, for this purpose, for the
reason that it can be removed in the
afternoon, when the sun loses its
strength, and the small amount of sun
and light which they thus receive adds
considerably to the strength and vitality
of the plants.

Liquid Fertilizer.

When the plants are well established
and the pots full of roots, weak doses of
liquid manure will be beneficial. This
should be as varied as possible. On two
days a week, at least, clear water should
be used. Sheep manure in a liquid state
is one of the best, but care must be taken
to use it only in very weak doses. When
the fine roots begin to show freely on the
surface of the soil, a light dusting with
pulverized sheep manure may be given,
as the more surface roots the plants are
furnished with, the more stimulants they
will be able to assimilate.

In the rush of the housing season, too
often we find cyclamens relegated to
some obscure position in a north house
or some such place, with the result that
the care and labor of months is to a
great extent wasted. Growers would do
well to allow more space between plants,
after housing, than is commonly the
case. When housed they should be kept
fully exposed to sunshine, and a free
circulation of air maintained. It is a
cool, airy atmosphere which goes farthest
in producing well flowered plants of the
highest quality. Wm. M. Brown.

Seed Sowing.

The time has arrived when a good
many flower seeds should be sown. It
will probably seem like repeating old
advice to give any cultural notes on this
subject, but there are so many readers
of the Review who have probably taken
up floriculture as their vocation and who
may not have had as much practical
training as they would like, and there
are, furthermore, so many of the rising
generation, who are to fill our shoes some
day, and who, unless they are of the
"know it all" class, are ever ready to
improve their minds, even by reading cul-
tural hints, that we make no apology for
touching briefly on this important branch
of propagation.

It may seem somewhat stereotyped, but
we would say again, do not buy cheap
seed. The best is the least expensive in
the long run. Seeds of all kinds, which
aire to be sown under glass, seem to pre-
fer a lighter compost for germination
than that which they are to grow in when
well established. For this reason leaf-
mold should always form the major por-
tion of the compost. For the finest
seeds, if a little sand is added to the
mold, germination will be better than
if loam is also used. For the general
run of greenhouse annuals, three-fourths
leaf -mold and one-fourth loam, with some
sand added, make a suitable mixture.
For choice seeds, such as begonias, gloxin-
ias, primulas, etc., it is well to add a
little powdered charcoal to keep the
compost sweet. If you use steam and
can sterilize the soil to kill all weed seeds
and insect larvee, it will be a great ad-
vantage.

Flats three inches in depth, or pans,
are to be preferred to pots for seed sow-
ing. They should in every case be per-
fectly clean.' Earthenware should be well
soaked if new. For choice annuals or
those slow of germination, more drainage
is necessary than for the quick-growing
varieties. Many growers use bo other
drainage for such seeds as asters, zin-
nias and stocks than some rough pieces
of turf, but it is always better to be on
the safe side in this respect. When you
water you want it to pass away quickly,
or sour conditions will soon arise. In
covering seeds, a safe rule is to scatter
compost over them to their own depth.
With minute seeds, such as gloxinias and
begonias, after the surface has been made
smooth and watered, the seeds should be
scattered evenly on the surface and a lit-
tle fine sand spread over it. You must
use fine sifters for your soil, especially
if you are sowing small seeds; use the
sifter to drop it evenly over the seeds.
After sowing, a good plan is to gently
firm the surface with a smooth piece of
board.

In the germination of seeds, much
depends on their treatment after being
sown. As a general rule, a temperature
of 60 degrees at night will suflBce for all
seeds; many will grow freely in 10 de-
grees less heat, but the higher figure in-
sures earlier growth and a removal to

somewhat cooler quai-ters is easy in a
few days. Flats containing seeds should
never get direct sunlight. Covering with
newspapers is often resorted to. These
should be removed at night and during
sunless weather, and must be gradually
discarded as germination starts. If
your shelf room is scarce, you can stack
several flats one over the other until the
seedlings start to grow, but you must
watch them sharply or spindling plants
will result.

The present time is opportune for sow-
ing batches of the following seeds: As-
ters of such early varieties as Queen of
the Earlies, ten weeks' stock; verbenas,
petunias, fibrous-rooted begonias, vincas,
torenias, Santolina maritima, abutilons,
primulas in variety, Clerodendron fallax,
draceenas, eucalyptus, impatiens and
browallia.

It is rather too early to sow such rapid
growing subjects as Salvia splendens,
zinnias, ricinus, wigandias, sunflowers,
cosmos. Phlox Drummondii and balsams.

Among hardy perennial plants, the
sowing of aquilegias, hollyhocks, Campa-

yield plenty of good cuttings. Where
you root your carnations will suit chrys-
anthemums, ericas, acacias, genistas, mar-
guerites, verbenas and snapdragons,
while in the warmer bench heliotropes,
acalyphas, begonias, fittonias, panicum,
salvia, coleus> achyranthes and alternan-
thera will root best.

Shamrocks.

The day for "the wearing of the
green," March 17, will soon be here. The
demand for little shamrock plants in pots
and pans is now quite considerable. A
cool house is needed for these clovers. If
they are getting crowded, spread out the
pots a little. Keep well v»ratered. An
occasional fumigation will ward off the
attacks of thrips, which is quite partial
to this plant. Quite a number of florists
now make a specialty of shamrocks and
find a good profit in growing them.

Easter Lilies.

From the number of inquiries recently
received in regard to the condition of
various growers' Easter lilies, it is evi-
dent that many are on the anxious seat
about them. If your plants will show
buds at all by March 5 to 10, you can
get your lilies in for Easter in a night
temperature of 60 degrees. If you can
see these buds now, you can hold them
all right in a slightly cooler house, but
if the buds are three inches in length
they are too forward. Do not make the
mistake of rushing the earliest ones into
a house kept at 40 to 45 degrees at night,
as we once knew a florist to do; as a re-

A House of Shamrocks at John F. Rupp's, Sbiremanstown, Pa.

nula pyramidalis, primroses, pyrethrums,
lychnis, lupinus. Lobelia cardinalis, Mal-
va moschata, delphiniums, Canterbury
bells and other sorts is now timely. Many
of these latter, sown now, will bloom the
first season.

Propagation.

While the weather remains cold, when
heavy firing is still the rule and before
the sun becomes too powerful, is the best
time to propagate. The genial, moist
bottom heat soon makes the little cut-
tings root. The propagating bench
should be kept well filled, for there are
many bedding plants now which will

suit he lost nearly every bud. Encour-
age plants which are a little backward
by frequent light sprayings, and a little
nitrate of soda in the water once a week
will hurry them along. Squirt tobacco
extract into the tops of the growths to
clean out aphis and, if you want plants
with nice foliage, never allow them to
become dry at the root.

Lilium candidum can be had in bloom
four weeks from the time the buds are
so that you can count them, in a night
temperature of 55 degrees. Do not force
in a warmer house, as this fine lily re-
sents such treatment.

Gladiolus Gandavensis.

You have probably gaps in your car-
nation benches Tvhere plants have died
out. If you have planted nothing in
their stead, try some of the large-flow-
ered gladioli. As a rule, separate colors
sell the best and for this reason growers
prefer such varieties as Shakespeare and
May. They will prove useful for you
about Memorial day.

Speaking of carnation houses reminds
us that this also is a good time to plant
some sweet peas to run up the iron posts.
These will prove invaluable in late spring,
when people are getting rather tired of
carnations.

Kalmia Latifolia.

If you want any of the mountain lau-
rels in flower for Easter, start them now.
In 1907 they sold well when nicely flow-
ered. Treat as you would azaleas and
rhododendrons. A temperature -of 55 to
60 degrees at night, a moist atmosphere,
spraying overhead and removal to a cool-
er and drier house as the flowers ex-
pand, are the main cultural needs of this
beautifhl, hardy evergreen shrub.

English Ivy.

The demand for young plants of Eng-
lish ivy is fairly constant. In spring
many are wanted for cemetery lots, and
while it cannot be recommended in our
northern states as a reliable evergreen
climber, it succeeds fairly well on north
walls, doing best near the ocean. There
is not such a call for wreaths of ivy as
existed a decade or two ago. Yet there
is often an order for this class of de-
signs and there can be no question of
their advantages in winter over others
composed of tender flowers. Cuttings
put in your carnation propagating bench
now and kept moist, will soon form roots.
You ought not to sell these plants this
season. A better plan is to plunge them
in a frame or the open ground early in
May, and they will make excellent stock
for selling the following year. These
plants are of such size and quality that
they are well worth a fair price.

Variegated Vinca.
Variegated vinca is indispensable for

the filling of vases, window-boxes, etc.
Your old plants will be sending up quan-
tities of nice young shoots now. Get a
good batch of these into the propagating
bench. They will need planting out in
nursery rows during summer and lifting
in the fall to provide you with salable
plants for the following spring. You
can propagate from the older and harder
wood by simply, cutting it in pieces, but
you must wait longer for roots appear-
ing on these. A temperature of 50 de-
grees at night will root them.

LARGE ROSE HOUSES.

Though it sounds like treason to say
anything against large glasshouses, says
an American correspondent of the Gar-
deners' Chronicle, practical growers are
not all in accord with the builders of
this class of structure. A span-roofed
house fifty feet wide and some hundreds
of feet long must of necessity be high
at the ridge, and when to this are added
low, solid beds instead of the old-time
benches, three feet or more in height.

the young roses, when planted, are a
long way from the glass, and do not
start as freely as under the older sys-
tem. Whether this late start is made
up for by the use of grafted stock and
ease of working wide houses remains
to be seen, but more than one large
grower, once partly converted to the
large house theory, will, in the proposed
additions this year, return to the more
moderate size. Leaving the question of
height, extreme length has its disadvan-
tages independently of the difficulty of
handling stock. In a rose house known
to the writer, 800 feet long, there is one
part where, directly air is put on, a kind
of independent circuit is set up, and it is
easy to see by the behavior of the plants
there that they do not relish the con-
ditions. Greenfly and mildew always at-
tack at this point, and it is thus a kind
of safety valve for the section men. In
a house of moderate length these inde-
pendent currents are broken up by par-
titions or otherwise, and, though this
idea may seem far-fetched, there is more
in it than at first appears.

COMMERQAL CARNATIONS.

[A paper by Wallace R. Pierson. Cromwell,
Conn., read before the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club of Boston, February 25, 1908.]

I do not have any intention, in writ-
ing this paper, of giving history. That
branch may be useful, but it has been
covered so many times that to go back
to Lizzie McGowan and Mrs. Fisher is
useless. We wish to consider just what
working materials we have before uS" at
the present time, and to learn how to
make the most of what we have.

The carnation after the advent of Mrs.

Lawson and the carnation before that
time are as different in all essential
characteristics as the light of a gray day
in winter is to the brilliancy of the
houses in full sunlight, with 'the glare
from the February snow. Daybreak, be-
fore Mrs. Lawson, was the sun breaking
through the fog.

Test Your Seedlings Thoroughly.

We have, to-day, a grand collection of
varieties, and there are so many new
stars appearing and asking recognition
that' we are tempted to ask, ' ' Where will
it stop?"

varieties, and V»d(;ause I have a good
seedling, am I not justified in putting it
on the market?" is the question we are
so frequently asked.

Let the owner of the seedling think of
the number of horses bred from fast
stock which are never entered. They are
tried out, and if they haven't the ability
to deliver the goods, they are never en-
tered in the race. So with the carnation
seedling. Eaise them, if fancy leads you
to do so. Try your hand at it, but know
before they are presented to the public
what their powers really are.

I believe that the qualities which go
to produce a good seedling are, to a
large extent, due to the inherent good
qualities of the parents, but with the
seedling there is apt to be an increase in
vigor. The best articles and papers on
the subject of seedlings can only be
from those men who handle and study
them most, and although a haphazard
seedling may make good commercially,
the best variety is more apt to be pro-
duced by one who understands the varie-
ties he works on, and who makes his
crosses with certain definite points in
view.

' The dissemination of a seedling being
decided upon, the future success of it,
as a variety, depends as much on the
manner of producing and sending out
the stock as on any inherent good quali-
ties it may have, granted, of course,
that it would never have passed the seed-
ling stage had it not some of the in-
herent qualities which go to make up a
commercial carnation.

Definition of Gsmmercial Sorts. \ ^'''*
What, then, is a commercial carnation?
To be brief, it is one which the grower
can handle so that it is a paying proposi-
tion for him, and this necessitates it be-
ing one which the public will buy with
profit to the retailer. This definition is
broad, and yet it covers, I believe, the
entire situation. It does not exclude the
fancy sorts, providing they can meet the
terms, providing the public will buy, and
providing there is a profit to the grower.
A very large bloom is not, as a rule,
obtained in the same quantity, from the
same space, as a smaller one. Here,
then, seems to be the size limit. Can
we secure enough more money for the
individual bloom to warrant the growing
of only such varieties as produce flowers
larger than the ordinary? Perhaps, with
some growers there would be such a de-
mand, but not as a rule would this be
true. The commercial carnation in its
broadest sense is the medium sized bloom,
the average length stem, the non-burst-
ing calyx, the even-colored bloom, with
the keeping and shipping qualities which
are usually a part of the make-up of
such bloom as I have tried to describe.
Light pink, intermediate pink, dark or
cerise pink, scarlet, dark red, and white
we must consider standards.

Variegated we must class as fancy, for
both white and yellow variegated are
profitable only when grown where there
is a market which calls for them.

The Measure of Value.

The number of blooms per square foot
of bench, and the number of dollars per
year is the only question the commercial
grower should consider. The average
number of blooms per plant is a deceiv-
ing method of calculating the profitable-
ness of a variety, for one plant of some
varieties will eccupy the same space as

three of a different type which run to
bloom and not to plant.

Then, too, one year's experience with
a novelty is not always a proper guide,
if the results be shown merely on paper.
A different handling may produce dif-
ferent results. Very few varieties be-
come disseminated without having some
good features, and while one variety may
do well in a locality, another may not.
This is the nature of the beast, and hav-
ing in mind several that have failed with
me, and done well elsewhere, I will drop
tire subject.

Given, then, a stock of standard varie-
ties, what is the best method of handling
them all the way through? To this I
reply, with consideration for the indi-
viduality of each and every variety in
your list. I will try to explain myself
on this subject.

Three Classes of Carnations.

Three distinct classes of varieties ap-
pear to me. One is inclined to soft, heavy
foliage and curly leaves. This type is
inclined to come short- jointed and to re-
quire an unusually heavy body of roots
to produce early blooms with stems long
enough to be worth the handling. For
these there is nothing but indoor culture
to secure the best results.

The second class is the doubtful one:
The thin-foliaged, loose-jointed speci-
men, which makes only bloom if grown
inside, and very little plant. It needs
less soil, and, with less top, makes cor-
respondingly less root. Field culture,
with early benching, seems the best, as
the production of plant is easier to ac-
complish in the field.

As a type of the third or variable
class, I wish to mention Enchantress, a
variety which will be found superb for
indoor culture, and an easy variety to
lift from the field, even as late as Sep-
tember, to fill the last ends and prevent
loss of space.

Methods of Handling.

Classing these varieties, then, as we
do, we plan our planting as soon as we
can determine how much room we can
count on after Easter. The condition of
the breaks from ten to twelve inches
above the soil in February will determine
this. Get the heavy-foliaged varieties
ready for an early start. Then comes
the wait for after Memorial day, and the
summer's shifting is in full blast, aiming
always to leave a part of a house of
white and some *Enchantress for the last
of June.

We like to handle young stock in pots
for the April benching, and 3-inch is a
convenient size to handle, this stock hav-
ing been shifted from 2-inch, or 2y^-
inch, as the case may be. Where this
stock has been in 2-inch, however, a shift
to 2% -inch and then to 3-inch is to be
preferred to a single repotting.

For later use, benching out in shallow
soil about four inches apart gives a bet-
ter chance for the plants, and means
less work, and danger of loss or stunt-
ing, due to being potbound, is avoided.

Field planting from 2-inch pots is the
next in order, and then the care in the
field. Summer watering I do not ap-
prove of, and for the following reasons:
It is seldom that the soil takes up this
moisture to any depth. If done at night,
the sun of the next day takes more, even,
than was given, A continual wetting of
the foliage at night is a great incentive
to leaf spot, and growth under these con-
ditions will be soft and is therefore an
easy subject to such fungus.

The best plants come from the field
that gets the most hoeing, and I do not
think a well cultivated field can be im-
proved upon, except by more hoeing.

Our system, then, is a combination of
the two, or rather three methods. Pot
culture, bedding them out in the hcmses
intended for chrysanthemums, and field
culture.

Don't Handle AU Alike.

"Would you plant them all inside if
you could?" is a question I am often
asked, and I can only answer it by say-
ing that it is an impossibility to handle
all our stock with any one method. Our
supply of bloom is broken for only two
months, as we cut by September, first
from the first planted houses, and our
last houses we aim to plant in early July,
and do not care to cut from them until
November.

Last season we planted one bench in
March, and they are still looking well
and producing good blooms.

"Do you prefer the bench to the solid
bed?" is another question often asked.
I will answer it by saying that for early
planted stock the bed is superior; for
field plants I prefer the bench. The
heavy-foliaged varieties seem to be in
their element on the beds, while the
others seem to even up matters.

Watchfulness Price of Success.

Temperatures can almost be figured by
classes, the heavy-foliaged varieties, as a
rule, standing for a little more heat. The
evenness of the night temperature is per-
haps the most essential. Seldom have
we had any trouble with bloom which
could not be traced to this source. Soft-
ness in such varieties as Enchantress
usually means an overabundance of wa-
ter at the root, or a too high tempera-
ture at night. A hard bud is usually a
check from contact with glass, or cold
draughts of air at some time, due, per-
haps, to a sudden drop in temperature,
or a broken pane of glass. If we would
grow carnations well, we must watch
them nights.

The producing of the best is one long
struggle. Insects, fungi and tempera-
ture all make it a never-ending fight.
Watchfulness, combined with common
sense and the willingness to do hard
work, will succeed in meeting these trou-
bles, and coming out with success and
credit.

To the retailer I would say, help your
grower. What sells best with yout
What colors are you wanting most? Ad-
vise him how they keep, and he will
know how to run the houses.

And, growers, let me say to you that
it is poor economy to grow second-class
stock because business is dull this sea-
son. On good stock depends your future,
for it is one of the essential elements of
success.

BEST CARNATIONS.

I wish you would give a beginner a list
of the best carnations, a few only, from
the standpoint of fragrance, productive-
ness, non-bursting calyx and good stem.
Of course they must be strong growers.

N. N. C.

There are now so many splendid varie-
ties of carnations on the market that it
would be impossible for me to select a
few sorts and say that they will do best
for you. You would better get several
varieties in each color for trial, and then
select the ones which strike your fancy.

I will name in each color first the ones
Tvhich we consider best, etc., as follows:
White — White Perfection, White En-
chantress, Vesper, Lady Bountiful. Light
Pink — Enchantress, Fair Maid. Bose-
pink — rRose-pink Enchantress, Winsor.
Dark Pink — Pink Imperial, Aristocrat,
Lawson, Bed — Victory, Red Chief, Bea-
con. Crimson — Crimson Glow, Harlowar-
den, H. Penn.

Any of the above varieties will pay
you well for the space they will take up
on your benches, and any one of them
might strike your fancy better than all
the others in its color. You will notice
that I have mentioned none of this year 's
novelties. You would do well to try
some of them, in a limited way.

WORMS ON CARNATIONS.

I have been troubled with certain
worms that work mostly at night and re-
semble the commJon garden cutworm.
When grown they are from an inch to
an inch and a half long. I have tried
nicotine extracts at a good strength
without killing them, and find no way
of getting rid of them except by pick-
ing, but when so small it is hard work
finding them, especially on carnations.
I shall be very grateful if any one can
tell me of some sure way of getting rid
of them without hurting the plants.

E.G.

The worms you complain of are com-
mon and most carnation growers have
had more or less experience with them.
They belong to the cutworm family, only
they work in the top of the plants in-
stead of at the base. Hand picking is a
sure remedy if you can catch them all,
but as they feed mostly at night, that
is a tiresome job. A better way is to
bait and poison them. Take ordinary
wheat bran, mix with it enough sugar-
cane molasses to moisten it and then add
to this enough Paris green to make it
deadly. Drop a little di this around
where you know they are, and you will
soon be rid of them. Repeat this a few
times, until you see no more signs of
them. This will also get rid of wood
lice, or sow bugs, if you are troubled
with them. A. F. J, B.

SPLIT ENCHANTRESS.

We send you, under separate cover,
buds from our Enchantress carnations.
Over sixty per cent are splitting. The
night temperature in this house is be-
tween 48 and 52 degrees; the day tem-
perature is from 65 to 70 degrees on
clear days and 58 or 60 degrees on cloudy
days. We have in the same house White
Perfection, Cardinal, Queen Louise and
Fenn, which have had the same treat-
ment. Queen Louise is splitting at the
rate of about twenty per cent. White
Perfection and Aristocrat do not split at
all. Of Fenn and Cardinal not over five
per cent are split. This temperature has
been maintained since January 1. The
plants have been fed but once, which was
three weeks ago, on ground bone. In
November and December we kept them
pretty dry and the temperature at night
often ran to 56 degrees, but we had few
splits. Our soil is light and dries out
quickly, and I thought they had been
checked by keeping them dry, so I have
been giving them much more water since
the first of the year. J. C. N.

The specimens came to hand in a bad-
ly frozen condition and therefore did not

disclose as much as they would likely
have if fresh. I could see that every
bud had a burst calyx, and they all had
the appearance of inferior Enchantress.
The size of the buds and of the stems
was not that of average quality En-
chantress. In fact, the whole bunch
looked as we sometimes see occasional
plants of Enchantress; plants which
seem to have lost their vitality and are
unable to produce good blooms. Some-
times these plants will be full of yellow
spots, but at other times they simply lack
that gray "bloom" we like to see on our
carnation plants and have a light, yellow-
ish green color instead. It may be that
your stock has lost its vigor from im-
proper cutting selection or some other
cause and this inferior bloom is the re-
sult.

Your temperature is all right, and if
your other varieties all are doing well
the trouble cannot be laid to your gen-
eral treatment. In fact, all these cir-
cumstances would indicate weakness in
your stock. Unless you can select cut-
tings from plants which produce good
blooms, I would advise you to buy new
stock from someone who has vigorous
plants, in good health. A. F. J. B.

THE SIX O'CLOCK ROOSTER.

The crest of J. K. Allen, the New
York wholesaler, is no lion sejant, but
a rooster rampant, on a rose leaf, for
Mr. Allen takes pride in the fact that he
has been at his store, ready for business,
* ' every morning at 6 o 'clock ' ' for twenty
years. During these two decades he has
not only won a reputation for prompt-
ness and regularity, but has given proof
of energy and integrity, necessary qual-
ities for the wise management of the
finances of the New York Florists' Club,

which were placed in his hands at the
last election.

While attending strictly to business,
Mr. Allen has found time to take an
active part in the conduct of public af-
fairs in Kearney, N. J., where he makes
his home. He is one of the commission-
ers of the Carnegie library and has also
served on the board of education. For
seven years, also, he was a member of
the Kearney fire department and was
honored at different times with official
positions in that organization.

Mr. Allen was born in Whippany, Mor-
ris county, N. J., about fifty years ago,
ana was educated in the public schools
of Morristown. Before beginning his re-
markable twenty-year record for early-
morning promptness in his own business,
he was employed for several years at
Joseph Towell's, in Paterson, N. J.

Mr. Allen is a member of the F. & A.
Masons of Arlington and also of the
Royal Arcanum.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

As was reported in the Review two
weeks ago, Chairman W^. F. Kasting, of
the committee of fifty for the national
flower show, has called a meeting of that
body at Chicago March 26, and Secre-
tary J. H. Burdett has now sent out the
formal notice. The meeting is to be held
during the exhibition of the American
Rose Society.

The premium Ust is not yet complete,
but will be issued before the meeting of
the committee. The arrangement of the
list has been the greatest undertaking of
this character ever put upon the shoul-
ders of any committee, for with the innu-
merable special premiums it certainly
will be the greatest premium list ever
issued for a flower show anywhere in the
world.

J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, takes the
chill off the water he uses through the
hose by passing the water pipe for a
few feet through a 4-inch pipe in which
live steam from the boiler is circulated.

It is worth while noting that while
interest in new carnations seems to have
abated as their number has increased,
the interest in new roses is greater than
ever, even if buyers are not disposed to
plunge.

A GENTLEMAN named Stern, of whom
such levity would not be expected, ob-
serves that "trying to do business
without advertising is like winking at
a girl in the dark; you know what you
are doing, but nobody else does. ' '

The Classified Department of the Re-
view is the great medium of exchange
between florists. Thousands buy from
the offerings there, but do not avail
themselves of the opportunity it presents
to dispose of their own little lots of sur-
plus stock.

The correspondent at Kokomo who
signs himself "Potter" and wants to
know what is considered a day 's work at
potting cuttings in the several large es-
tablishments he names, should write to
the proprietors of those places and sign
his name.

The centennial exposition of the So-
ciete Royale d 'Agriculture et de Botan-
ique, of Ghent, Belgium, will be held in
the gardens of the Casino from April 23
to May 3, 1908. This exposition is in-
ternational and devoted exclusively to
plants, flowers, seeds, and in general to
everything pertaining to the horticultural

NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Correspondents of the Eeview are in-

SHADING.

Please give us the formula for shad-
ing houses of cucumbers in March and
later. W. D. H.

One gallon of kerosene to ten pounds
of white lead, well mixed and put on
with a brush, will make a shade suffi-
ciently heavy for the purpose in hand,
and withstand the rains. Tliis shading
does not injure the paint and is easily
removed by rubbing with a dry brush.

tial silver trophy as a prize for chrysan-
themums; the character of the class, and
conditions of the competition to be left
to the discretion of the society so af-
filiated.

2. To receive twelve copies of the C.
S. A. publication, free of charge.

3. To have two free passes to the an-

LILIES FOR EASTER.

My Easter lilies, which are from twelve
to sixteen inches high, are now showing
buds deep down in the leaves. Can I
retard them for Easter? I have never
had them so short before and yet they
look fine and sturdy. I have been
hustling them along, not expecting them
to bud under thirty inches in height.

Your plants will be all right and of
just the proper height. Probably hard
forcing has caused them to be so tall in
past seasons. If you keep them in a

they should come in nicely for Easter,
which comes this year on April 19. If
you can count the buds the first week in
March, they will flower on time. So
much depends on climatic conditions that
some allowances must always be made
on this account. It is better, hpwever, to
get your plants along now, as it is com-

you can see the buds expanding.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

It may have been Washington's birth-
day, with its dinners, or it may have
been some other factor, but at any rate
the market enjoyed a fine day's busi-
ness February 21, and Saturday also
was satisfactory. This was not because
of increased prices, but because it was
possible to move an immense quantity of

stock at low rates for all except the
choicest.

The present week opened with one
of the dullest Mondays this market ever
has known, and Tuesday, as it almost
always is, was worse than the day be-
fore. There is no price for anything ex-
cept roses, and roses are so much more
abundant than they have been that values
in this department are on the down
grade in spite of splendid quality.

There is naturally much discussion
among growers and wholesalers as to
the cause of the present condition in the
market. Business in nearly every line
in Chicago is quiet just now, and some
florists assert that the state of the mar-
ket shows we are feeling the effect of
slow business in general lines; but
others say that it is only another case
where a general increase in supplies
throughout the territory which Chicag*
looks to for its business, has resulted in
giving Chicago's customers a local sup-

ply, so that they need not draw upon
this market, by which reasoning they
account for the falling off in the ship-
ping trade. Those who look at the mat-
ter in this light .point out that this con-
dition has confronted this market regu-
larly several times a year and that it
may be expected to do so as frequently
in the future. At the same time, it
usually is only a matter of a couple
of weeks before the heavy cuts pass off
and the demand springs up again in full
force almost in a day.

At present the supplies of carnations
are greatly beyond the possibilities of
any legitimate market. The only chance
for a clean-up is by cheap sales to the
departnqent stores and others who can
use large quantities of stock when they
can get what they want at their own
flgure. The quality of carnations is
superb.

The price of New York violets ranges
from 50 cents per hundred to the point

•where it vanishes in the waste barrel.
Not all the receipts can be sold at any
price. Singles are less abundant than
they were and sell better than the
doubles.

Bulbous stock never sold so low in
February as it now is selling in the Chi-
cago market. Sam Pearce, who probably
is in as good a position as anyone to
know, says that bulbous flowers on the
average are bringing only half as much
as they did a year ago. Callas are
abundant, and Easter lilies also. Sweet
peas are coming in heavily and are fine.
The best sell well, but the low grades
do not move.

The one item on which the market
is stiff is the American Beauty rose.
Crops are generally at a low ebb and
quality nothing to brag about. There
are plenty of shorts and some medium
lengths, but really good long-stemmed
Beauties are hard to find and do not
go around.

The weather-man predicts more cloudy
and cold weather. It would put new
life in the market, by checking produc-
tion, both here and throughout the coun-
try. Mardi Gras, March 2 and 3, is
expected to make a good call from New
Orleans.

Good Times Coming.

In looking about for a new meeting
place for the Florists' Club, President
Leonard Kill received so good a propo-
sition from the Union restaurant. 111
Randolph street, that the members of
the club whom he consulted told him
to close with it for the next meeting.
It will be necessary to change the meet-
ing night from the second Thursday
to the first Thursday of each month,
and so the notices which will be mailed
to members next Monday will call the
March meeting for the private club-
room at the Union at 8 p. m., Thursday,
March 5. Don't fail to be there.

President Kill has appointed as a com-
mittee on Rose Society banquet, William
Kidwell, C. W. McKellar and Harry
Lubliner.

Various Notes.

C. H. Fisk has closed the H. F. Halle
store, so long established on West Madi-
son street, and concentrated bis business
at his place around the corner. The
Halle fixtures have been sold and the
building rented for a cigar factory.

Speaking of carnations, the A. L.
Randall Co, was interested to note in
last week's Review that some of the
New York wholesalers "receive over 10,-
000 a day on the average." The light-
est receipts of the Randall Co. any day
last week were just a few less than
11,000, and on Friday, which is the big
shipping day, they had 16,875, but had
to buy to fill some of the orders.

W. E. Lynch, of Hunt's, says he did a
good business in To-bak-ine, hose and
fertilizers at the state convention at
Springfield last week.

H. A. Fisher, of Kalamazoo and Bat-
tle Creek, was in town this week, prin-
cipally to buy palms, ferns and flower-
ing plants. He says business has picked
up materially in the last two or three
weeks, but for the time being he will
postpone the matter of opening addi-
tional stores.

At J. -A. Budlong's they are busy
grafting Killamey and Richmond roses.
Not many Brides and Maids are being
grafted this year, not because they have
not faith in grafted stock, but because
most of the Brides and Maids are young
plants and will be carried over for next
year.

William Fluegge, at Morton Grove, is
cutting some fine White Enchantress, He
is one of the few growers for this
market who make The Queen their lead-
ing white carnation, Joseph Brooks,
also of Morton Grove, is another who
finds The Queen a most profitable sort,
Mr, Fluegge is now cutting heavily of
this variety and the quality is all that
could be desired in so productive a va-
riety.

Peter Reinberg and John Schillo, with
their wives, leave Friday evening, Feb-
ruary 28, for New Orleans, Mr, Rein-

berg will spend Tuesday, March 2, cele-
brating the Mardi Gras, instead of
hustling for votes at the Democratic
primaries, leaving that to Leonard Kill.

John Sinner calls attention to the
fact that there has been no real glut in
this market since early last summer, a
longer period than any within his recol-
lection when we have had no oversnp-
ply. He says he thinks the market
ought to be willing to stand for one
now.

Poehlmann Bros, Co, will largely in-
crease the planting of grafted roses next
season. John Poehlmann says the crops
of Killarney and Richmond in the next
few weeks will make some people open
their eyes,

H, W, Rodgers, of Weiland & Risch,
was called to Spring Lake, Mich,, by
the illness of a sister.

The E. F. Winterson Co. reports that
the counter trade in seeds has shown
a large increase in the last few days.

H, Bayersdorfer and wife, of Phila-
delphia, passed through Chicago Febru-
ary 24 on their way home from the Pa-
cific coast. They did not stop in Chi-
cago longer than was necessary to change
roads, because of word of the serious ill-
ness of Mrs. Bayersdorfer 's father.

J, J, Krucbten says a telephone is
being put in the greenhouses of his
father, N. J. Kruchten, by means of
which he will hereafter be in cooununi-
cation with practically all his growers
in the Bowmanville district.

George Reinberg cut 150 cattleyas Feb-
ruary 24 and found them the most
readily salable article that day.

Bassett & Washburn are preparing to
bench about 85,000 carnations next sea-
son. Nearly one-third will be the red,
Orland P. Bassett.

N, J. Wietor says that with the pres-
ent state of supply and demand he is
just as well pleased that Wietor Bros,
put their money into flat buildings last
year instead of into greenhouses,

Schramm Bros,, at Arlington Heights,

The Market.

The wholesalers unite in saying there
is no change in the market. Prices re-
main at the low standard of last week
and, with the clear weather and increas-
ing shipments, there is little on which to
build much encouragement, but Easter
is only six short weeks away. The grow-
ers who come to town are not cheerful,
but they see for themselves and are
accepting the inevitable with resigna-

tion. It has been a hard winter, es-
pecially for those with the smaller green-
house establishments, most of which
make carnations a specialty.

At the low prices now prevailing, and
with the warmer weather, • fortunately
everything arriving can be disposed of
at some figure, and so retailers and

The vincas are all sold; the
classified adv. was a good invest-
ment.—E. A. Mtichow, Clarencet

Why don't you send the Re-
view a classified adv. offering
something, no matter what, that
you wottid like to turn into cash ?

the merchants of the pavement, who
have been enabled to buy of late at
prices never before reached in Febru-
ary, have no legitimate complaint. Car-
nations still lead the procession in num-
bers and depressed values. A year ago
they sold at twice and three times pres-
ent rates. No one ever saw better stock,
nor greater variety, than daily floods the

New York market. There seems to be
no stemming of the tide. Those not
sold the day of arrival, go to the street
at any price.

Koses have held up fairly well, con-
sidering the cheapness of other stock.
The best Beauties have brought 50 cents,
and Maids and Brides have commanded
8 cents and 10 cents. The supply has
not been up to the demand and the
street-men have to be contented with
carnations, narcissi, valley and violets.
Of these there is no end. The southern
daffodils are on the way. What shall we
do with them?

Valley is most abundant. Violets
seldom go above 40 cents on arrival.
Imagine the price when they are scent-
less. The street corners are blue with
them.

Washington's birthday gave the mar-
ket a slight thrill and brought some
sunshine to the wholesale section. Prices^
did not advance, but the boxes werj
emptier, and the present week began with
a fairly hopeful foundation for improve-
ment.

Great quantities of flowers were used
at the funeral of the daughter of Oliver
Belmont, and at the Emeral and French
balls, the two great opera houses, the
numerous theaters, etc., the constant
travel to Europe, but all combined failed
to create a shortage in last week's
enormous receipts.

Handsome decorations are assured, and
an interesting program, at the Florists'
Club 's annual banquet February 29. This

aging outlook. This seems to be con-
curred in hj all the men who build for
florists, every firm on this line of work
having many orders booked.

The Cleary Horticultural Co. will open
its auction season about the middle of
March, with Ambrose Cleary in com-
mand. The firm has just completed the
furnishing of its offices on Vesey street,
and their importations of nursery stock,
bulbs, etc., will be on a larger scale than
ever before.

Maltus & Ware, at 14 Stone street, are
-headquarters for the European bulb men
now on their western travels.

Henry & Lee have caught the decora-
tive inspiration and have a fine office in
a modern building. Mr. Henry has just
returned from a western trip and Mr.
Fulton, from Japan.

Weiss & Son, One Hundred and Sixty-
second street, have opened a branch
store at 1 East Forty-first street, corner
of Fifth avenue, one block from Wad-
ley & Smythe's.

The sympathy of the trade is tendered
James McManus in the death of his
father.

Macintosh, the retailer, will vacate the
store he now occupies May 1, and will
move to the corner of Broadway and
Forty-seventh street, close to the Hotel
Astor, and a splendid location.

W. A. Burnham, of Lord & Burnham
Co., sailed for Europe February 19.

C. W. Ward has returned home after
a trip of three weeks in the south.

A fire at Oceanic, N. J., February 19,
destroyed the barns and injured the
Bliss greenhouses, where the popular
gardener, Nicholas Butterback, is in
charge. Great loss was prevented by

his work, in which his face and hands
were badly burned.

The Rapp Horticultural Building Co.
has been incorporated, with a capital
stock of $10,000. The incorporators are
Roy I. Rapp and William J. McCormick,
both of this city, and William C. Lange,
College Point, N. Y.

Arthur T. Boddington's representa-
tives bring back the most inspiring re-
ports as to the general prosperity of the
country and the continued call for all
horticultural supplies. To talk with these
gentlemen of the road is a sure cure
for pessimism. H. Frank Darrow, the
importer, talks in a similar strain after
his trip among his customers.

F. W. 0. Schmitz, of Prince Bay, ex-
pects the biggest season in his career.

The Rickards Bros, have had a strenu-
ous winter. Some wonderful totals of
daily sales, which I have seen, would
open your eyes. It is a cold banquet
that is not followed by a filled order
book. Music hath charms. Their lieu-
tenant, Frank Duggan, is celebrating
this month his twentieth anniversary
with the house.

The Stumpp & Walter Co. was never
in such perfect readiness to serve the
interests of its customers as this season.
The big store at 50 Barclay street has
been remodeled since last year's rush
time.

H. H. Berger & Co. are thoroughly
established in their new store at 70 War-
ren street and the rush already has be-
gun with them.

H. Kenney, in Brooklyn, reports a big
call for sphagnum moss.

O. V. Zangen, in Hoboken, reports
that so far the season is far ahead of

any year at the same date since he es-
tablished his business.

Joseph S. Fenrich is himself again.
The attempt to change the course of a
trolley car with one's head is a mis-
take.

Reed & Keller have something new in
their windows in the line of Pompeian
statuary vases. Their only complaint is
of slow collections.

Frank S. Hicks & Co. are kicking for
more room. Mr. Van Riper is an able
lieutenant and as well known through his
celebrated "points" as any man in the
trade.

Russin & Hanfling, the basket and sup-
ply men, are well satisfied with the
winter's results. They do a large ship-
ping trade in sheaves and fancy baskets.

The new firm, D. Smith & Co., say
business is satisfactory. They expect to
be in the swim for Easter.

John P. Scherer now makes his head-
quarters at Union Hill, N. J., where he
resides.

Bonnet & Blake, of Brooklyn, were close
to the big fire in the Brooklyn city hall
last week, but escaped loss. This house
and that of W. H. Kuebler, on Willough-
by street, are both growing rapidly.

The Geller Florist Supply Co. has the
largest show room of any supply house
in New York and claims an ever increas-
ing volume of business.

B. Rosens, the Angelas bell inventor,
has developed a large trade in greens,
as well as in florists' supplies, and says
he has found his aggregate of sales in-
creasing every month since he began.

Samuel A. Woodrow has been shipping

his successful canvass of a few weeks
ago.

Ford Bros, have handled an enormous
aggregate of carnations during the last
month, some days as many as 20,000
reaching their headquarters.

H. Suzuki, of the Yokohama Nursery
Co., is in the city, his first visit to Nev?
York, and will remain for some weeks
before visiting Europe.

William Elliott & Sons will move on
May 1 to new and more extensive quar-
ters on Vesey street. For three years
they have patiently endured the incon-
venience entailed by the building of the
McAdoo tunnel, only to have rents
doubled as a reward for patient submis-
sion on its completion. The new store,
however, is only a block away from their
headquarters since 1905, and a long lease
makes further changes improbable.

Next week Hanft Bros, move to their
new store on Madison avenue and Sixty-
second street.

C. Myer, at Fifty-seventh street and
Madison avenue, is now practically mon-
arch of all he surveys at his important
corner.

Fred Smythe, of the firm of Wadley &
Smythe, Fifth avenue and Forty-second
street, left on Thursday, accompanied by
his mother, for a pleasure trip in Eu-
rope. Mr. Smythe now controls four nur-
series in the vicinity of New York, and
does a large business in landscape plant-
ing, his greatest achievement being the
laying out and planting of the McKinley
memorial grounds at Canton.

David Clarke's Sons are already pre-
paring their announcements for the great
day of the retail florists' year and an-
ticipate the usual success. Financial de-
pression makes but little headway in re-
ducing the aggregate of monthly sales
with this old-time establishment.

George M, Stumpp, of Fifth avenue
and Fifty-eighth street, decorated a new
restaurant on Fulton street last week,
with wild smilax, evergreens, flowering
plants and cut flowers in most artistic
and elaborate style.

Philip Kessler was appointed a dele-
gate by the wholesale element of the
Cbogan building to represent it at the
b&ll of the French students at Madison
Square garden Friday evening last. No
one could have made a higher record.

Hugh Nelson, of Perkins & Nelson,
has been on the sick list for a week, and

has lots of company,

J. Austin Shaw.

PLYMOUTH, IND.

The Argos Floral & Plant Co., of Ar-
gos, is preparing to grow large quanti-
ties of vegetable plants, which find a
market in their own and the surround-
ing towns. They have a nice, clean stock
of carnations and other flowers and are
having a good trade on them.

Jacob Jordan, at Plymouth, grows let-
tuce in his greenhouse in the winter
months. He is now getting his cabbage,
tomato and other vegetable plants
started. He supplies the stores here
and at Bremen with vegetable plants in
flats. He is planning to grow more than
usual this season. His business is mar-
ket gardening and vegetable plants.

George Nagle is making his usual prep-
arations for the coming season. He has
been the leading market gardener here
for years. His garden is always scrupu-
lously clean and he knows how to put
his products in attractive shape to sell
from the wagon.

BOSTON.

The Market.

We are unable to report any decided
improvement in the market. On one or
two days better clearances have been ef-
fected, but at a sacrifice in values. More
flowers are arriving than the buying
public want and, with the near approach
of Lent and a cessation of social activi-
ties, the chances for a stronger market
for some weeks are far from bright.
Boses are more abundant and dropping
in price. Best American Beauties, which
were bringing $8 to $9 per dozen, have
dropped to $6. This rose is now abun-
dant. Brides and Maids of the best
quality bring fair prices, but other grades
are cheap. Of Killarney some fine
blooms are arriving; some select are
making as high as $4 a dozen. Eich-
mond is also coming of fine quality and
sells quite well. Carnations show no
improvement. Such a glut of these has
not been seen in Boston for years. Vio-
lets are about the only redeeming fea-
ture in an otherwise disorganized mar-
ket. They are holding up well and sell-
ing out clean.

Bulbous stock is hard to move at
low prices, although the quality is ex-
ceptionally good. Stocks are arriving,
of good strains finely grown, but are

neglected. Lilies and callas are more
than sufficient for requirements. Lilac
is bringing unremunerative prices and
the same holds good of valley. For
sweet peas there is a fair call, but snap-
dragons, mignonette and freesias sell
poorly. For adiantum and asparagus
there is a moderate call.

Club Meeting.

Carnation night at the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club, February 25, attracted a
large attendance, about 250 members be-
ing present, also some visitors from a
distance. The president announced the
motto for the year to be: "Rowing,
Not Drifting."

The exhibits were numerous and in-
cluded Andrew Carnegie, the scarlet sport
of Harlowarden, from Mrs. J. P. Snow,
which showed up well. William Nichol-
son had a superb vase of Afterglow,
which was awarded a report of superior
merit. H. A. Jahn had Lloyd and other
good seedlings. H. W. Field, of North-
ampton, showed his new white. President
Seelye, the result of a cross between
Lawson and The Queen, which promises
well as a commercial sort.

A fine Farleyense fern from A. N.
Pierson, Cromwell, received a report of
superior merit for culture. The same
exhibitor showed White Perfection, Win-
sor and Queen Louise carnations. Pe-
ter Fisher showed Mrs. Tom Harvey,
Winsor and Beacon carnations. M. A.
Patten exhibited several fine seedling
carnations. E. B. Beales showed three
excellent white seedling carnations.

J. D. Cockcroft, Northport, L. I., sent
a vase of Harvard. The Wanoka Green-
houses, Barneveld, N. Y., sent Climax

and Wanoka. The H. A. Stevens Co. ex-
hibited crimson seedlings. J. F. Flood
showed fine Beacon. A. Roper received
a report of superior merit for Bay State
and also showed an excellent deep pink
seedling. John Barr had a promising
light pink seedling. Ellen A. Mansfield
had excellent Lawson and Fair Maid.

Duncan Finlayson showed schizanthus
and Platyclinis glumacea well bloomed.
Elijah Wood had a good scarlet seedUng
carnation.

Among the rose exhibits, F. H. Kra-
mer, of Washington, sent a vase of
Queen Beatrice, and John Cook, of Bal-
timore, a display of My Maryland, which
all the rose growers liked.

Joseph Fuller exhibited a new lobelia
and William Downs had Bougainvillea
glabra.

W. Harrison, of Heston, England, was
present and, among other things, saia
American carnations in February are the
equal of those seen in England in April
and May.

M. A. Patten made a neat address on
the Washington convention of the Carna-
tion Society and boomed Indianapolis
strongly.

Wallace E. Pierson, of Cromwell, pro-
vided an excellent paper, which appears
elsewhere in this issue. In the discus-
sion, Peter Fisher said the time to sow
carnation seeds is as soon as ripe. Mr.
Pierson believes lime is the best fertil-
izer. His choice of best six varieties is:
Winsor, White Perfection, White En-
chantress, Beacon, Enchantress and Rose-
pink Enchantress. Dipping in Bordeaux
is the best cure for rust. Other speak-
ers were Wilfrid Wheeler, D. Finlayson,

was voted that the meeting March 18 be
devoted to roses, papers to be presented
by William Elliott and Eben Holmes;
also that the club hold a banquet in
March.

Refreshments were served and the
February meeting of 1908 was pro-
nounced the best the club has yet held.

Various Notes.

The flower show at the Park Street
market, February 29, is expected to at-
tract many out-of-town visitors. It is
too bad that the space is so cramped
for what promises to be a fine exhibi-
tion.

At Waban Conservatories a large stock
of White Killarney rose is being worked
up. The quality of the Killarney grown
here surpasses anything hitherto seen
in Boston, some carrying 3-foot stems.

William Nicholson will take in the
Chicago rose show. He reports heavy
sale on Carnation Afterglow, as many
cuttings being booked as can be sup-
plied.

T. F. Galvin has been showing some
fine Dendrobium nobile and D. Wardi-

anum among other orchids at his Tre-
mont street store.

W. B. Goodenow is having splendid
success this season with double violets,
which are selling better here than any
other flowers this season. He will fol-
low his violet crop with tomatoes.

H. M. Bobinson & Co. report trade as
fairly good. Flowers have to be moved
at a low price to clear, but greens do
better.

The seed houses report mail orders
as well up to the average and anticipate
a good volume of business.

The retrenchment policy inaugurated
by Mayor Hibbard, by which Boston
will save over $2,500,000 the present year,
cuts $100,000 from the public grounds
department, the public gardens being in-
cluded in this branch. The park de-
partment, under charge of Superintend-
ent Pettigrew, is given the same ap-
propriation as a year ago.

Thomas Pegler is having a good call
for the improved economy bracket, for
which he is agent at Park Street market.
This is one of the best devices I have
seen for florists, being easily put up.

Inquiries among the trade would in-
dicate that there will be rather less
greenhouse building the coming season
in this section.

George E. Baldwin, of Carrillo & Bald-
win, and Thomas Knight, of Knight &
Struck, were recent visitors. The form-
er booked some large orders for orchids.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

Quite a lot of activity was displayed
in the local cut flower market last week,
and the weather is just right for flower
buyers. The activity showed itself in
both wholesale and retail circles. The
west end retailers report a good run
of society work, and there was a call
for many large designs. Downtown flo-
rists say transient trade was never bet-
ter, all kinds of flowers selling well
over the counter, especially violets. North
and south florists, too, say that last week
wa3 a good one, with more funeral work
than any other. This kind of business,
of course, kept the wholesale commis-
sion men in good humor, for they were
well supplied with cut stock of all kinds
and of the best quality.

Roses are becoming more plentiful.
Violets are in heavy supply and prices
have suffered greatly. Carnations, too,
are abundant, but hardly any whites are
being left over. Enchantress is especial-
ly plentiful.

In bulb stock the market has every-
thing in season. All greens had a good
call last week. Prices on stock in gen-
eral are considered reasonable.

Various Notes.

Chairman Sanders, of the executive
committee of the St. Louis Horticultural
Society, reports that the spring flower
show will be held March 10 to 12 in the
banquet hall of the Grand avenue Ma-
sonic Temple. Last year's show was a
great success and a show on a much
larger scale will be given this year, with
good cash prizes. Premium lists can

Charles Young, son of James Young,
president of C. Young & Sons Co., selected
Washington's birthday for his marriage
to Miss Katherine Courtney, one of the

the ceremony the happy couple left for

James M. North, formerly in the re-
tail business here, is now employed with
Alex Johnson, managing the retail store
on Easton avenue. The place is known
as the Wellston Florist and Nursery, and
they are doing a nice business.

Charles Schoenle reports an overflow
of business last week. Mrs. Schoenle
is again at her post, after a long illness.

The Michel Plant & Bulb Co. held an
auction February 19, at its place on
Magnolia avenue. The sale was largely
attended by local florists, who bought
heavily of ferns, palms and other deco-
rative plants. This company was estab-
lished in 1849 and is doing a large whole-
sale and retail business.

The downtown florists last Aveek had
a violet war, all handling several thou-
sands each day. John Burke reports sales
between 5,000 and 10,000 daily. The
Riessen Floral Co., Alex Siegel and the
Foster Floral Co. also report heavy sales
On them. Ten cents per bunch of twen-
ty-five for fresh stock was asked.

George Windier, on Delore avenue, is

making preparations for an extra fine
display of bulb stock for the spring
flower show next month.

C. C. Sanders, Emil Schray and Henry
Felter will have fine spring blooming
plants for the show.

C. Young & Sons Co. are at present
displaying fine bulbous plants in bloom
in their retail store.

George Waldbart and Mrs. M. M.

nue, are showing extra fine blooming
plants for the benefit of the passers-by.
Their show houses along this great
thoroughfare are great attractions.

The St. Louis, Belleville and Kirk-
wood delegation, who attended the third
annual meeting of the Illinois Florists'
Association, held at Springfield, 111., last
week, got back in due time and reported
a great time and was glad to meet the
local trade and so many friends from

VIOLET LEAVES DISEASED.

1 am eending you a package of dis-
eased violet leaves. The trouble seems
to be spreading over the house. It
is run at 38 to 42 degrees at night,
and 10 to 20 degrees higher in the day.
The soil was a decomposed clay sod, with
about one-fourth rotted cow manure and
a dressing of bone meal. This grew
a crop of mums, after which the soil
was worked over, a dressing of rotted
manure added, and the violets planted.
They have been and are now giving a
large picking of blooms every day. About

a month ago I thought the blooms w ere
beginning to get smaller and gave the
bed a light dressing of sheep manure
and bone meal. I noticed some of the
plants were aflfected before this appli-
cation, but more since, especially during
the last ten days. D. W. T.

The leaves arrived in good condition,
being almost as fresh as when picked.
We think your first mistake and most
serious one was in planting your violets
in the old chrysanthemum soil. Even
the addition of some manure cannot
make it equal to fresh compost. Chrys-
anthemums are strong rooting subjects
and take much nourishment from the
soil. For a crop like violets, which are
to occupy the benches or beds for half
the year, it would have paid you to en-
tirely renew the soil. The j)roportions
of clay sod and cow manure were about
right, but my experience has not been
favorable to the use of bone for vio-
lets. If you used a strong dose of this,
herein would lie some of your trouble.
Your temperatures have been all right
and if other conditions had been correct,
your plants should have done well.

It is quite common to see occa.sional
plants of single violets ( I presume yours
are Princess of Wales) show the <lisease
yours have, but by careful selection of
stock for propagation it is largely elimi-
nated the following season. Top-dress-
ing with sheep or other animal manures
has been found beneficial, but I have
known great injury to result from sur-
facings of bone meal. I would strongly
advise you to refrain from using bone
or other chemicals in future.

The season is quite late now to <1(>

THE DEATH ROLL.

Ewald Suder<-

Despondent over ill , health, Ewald
Suder, son of Mrs. Henrietta Suder, a
well-known florist at Toledo, O., com-
mitted suicide February 24 by sending a
bullet through his brain while waiting
for his supper in the dining-room of
his mother's home. Mr. Suder was 37
years old and single. He was popular
fb "* town and was particularly well
liked among the florists of the city.
J* or a number of years he had been in
^harge of his mother's greenhouses. Dur-
ing the last few weeks he has been in

failing health, and February 22 was
forced to give up his work. He is sur-
vived by his mother, a brother and
sister.

John Freeman.

John Freeman, of Aurora, 111., died
February 19, after a brief illness, and
was buried February 21, the funeral
being largely attended. The Xorden
Soner, of which he was a prominent
member, attended in a body. The <le-
ceased was a prominent member of the
Swedish Lutheran church and was loved
and respected by all of the members.
Interment was in West Aurora ceme-
tery.

There were two Freeman brothers, each
in the florists' business for himself at
Aurora, Peter on Spruce street, and John
on North Lake street. Each did a good
business and had been established many
years.

Miss Ross G>lberg.

Miss Ross Colberg, daughter of X. P.
Colberg, of Morris, 111., died February

14. While seated at the breakfast table
she sank back unconscious and, though a
physician was immediately sunmioned,
she wa.s dead before he arrived. She
was 35 years of age and had been an
invalid all her life. She was born at
Princeton, 111.

ADIANTUM SCUTUM ROSEUM.

The cultivation of Adiantum cuneatum
is, in many greenhouse establishments in
Englaufl, says the Gardeners' Chronicle,
giving place to A. scutum, roseum. In
the autumn, A. scutum con.;>s in usefully,
if the fronds have not been produced
under too much shade, and so are not
soft and liable to decay. The plants will
then for a time, at any rate, take no
harm if placed under the benches, and
they will grow healthy and strong in
a warmth of 60 degrees to 65 degrees.
Plants will thus be provided for the
Christmas season, such as no other
adiantum can equal. Another good
quality of the plant is its rapid growth,
which is unapproached by any other

species. One-year-old plants, by good

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

The quality of cut flowers coming to
town this week has never been excelled
in the month of February. It really
seems that by far the larger proportion
of many varieties of stock has moved
into the special class. The demand is
still unequal to the supply, but addition-
al shipping orders have given a better
tone to the market.

Carnations continue the weakest flower
on the list, the buyer who can take a
quantity securing far better than listed
quotations. Pink and white are mostly
in demand, but there were days on which
red carnations sold well. The supply
of roses, especially Beauties, has fallen
oflf. But there are plenty for all de-
mands, _ excepting occasionally in the
fancy grades. Cattleya Triana; is near-
ly over, Cattleya Schroederiana being
now in full supply. Lselias are about
done. Coelogyne cristata has been added
to the list.

The supply of bulbous flowers is now
at its height. The jonquil (or should we
say single daflfodil?) has been reinforced
by Sir Watkin. Tulips can be had in
all shades, yellow, pink, white, double
orange, and occasionally scarlet. Sweet
peas are wonderfully fine, white, pink
and lavender being obtainable in quan-
tity with good stems and large floweis.

Asparagus and adiantum continue
scarce, which fact possibly increases the
demand for smilax. Harrisii and callas
arc both plentiful and lower in price.

A True Story.

A small buyer (he is a very small buy-
er indeed) went into one of our commis-
sion houses some time ago to purchase
some roses. He was much delighted on
receiving what Mr. Battles would call
the "personal attention" of the pro-
prietor in addition to that of a sales-
man. So much pleasure did this person-

MRS. JARDINE

We are most favorably impressed with Mrs. Jardine, and believe that it will make one of the
best selling varieties of roses in the cut flower market during the winter months. Its strong points are
its pleasing color (a bright rosy pink, shading in the outer petals to salmon-pink), its long, heavy
stems (even the shorter stems hold their flowers erect), and its keeping qualities. From a grower's
standpoint this promising variety is almost ideal ; vigorous, healthy, free-blooming, producing few
flowers of poor grade, and retaining its beautiful color even in dark weather.

We offer strong plants of Mrs. Jardine at the following prices : 2>^-in. pots, $30.00 per 100; $70.00 per
250; $260.00 per 1000. Grafted Stock add $6.00 per 100

We can supply a limited quantity of cut flowers of Mrs* Jardine, $3.00 per doz,; 3 days' notice required.

Pioneer Work in Illinois.

Including both the national and state
appropriations, the total sum available
for the use of the Illinois Experiment
Station is $126,.500.

I think it a matter of congratulation
that this association secured the first ap-
propriation for the exclusive purpose of
experimentation in floriculture. Illinois
leads in floriculture and it was quite
fitting that she should take the lead in
experimentation. The legislature is to
be commended for its recognition of this
industry by providing funds with which
to start the work.

Since Illinois is taking the lead, we
bear great responsibility, as the other
states are watching with interest the out-
come. We shftuld be exceedingly careful,
in the exp^diture of the funds, to se-
cure the greatest possible results. We
may be certain that other states .sooner
or later will follow our example. Should
we accomplish this, we need not fear
but that we shall get further appropria-
tions. It marks a new epoch in floricul-
ture in the experiment stations.

The advisory committee decided that
investigations on thrips be taken up this
year. A search of the literature was be-
gun to learn what was already known,
including everything written by florists.
From this and from correspondence it
was learned that little was known about
the species doing the damage or about
th§ir life history in greenhouses. It be-
came necessary to enlist the services of
the entomologists, and Dr. S. A. Forbes
willingly detailed one of his most ca-
pable assistants.

tlie university were put to other purposes,
we had to seek houses at some other city.
After considerable search and corre-
spondence, the university authorities de-
cided that work should be begun at
Bloomington, since it seemed that the
houses at that place were better adapted
to our needs and more convenient.

Experiments at Bloomington.

The house selected was already planted

to two varieties of carnations, Queen
Louise and Genevieve Lord. Varieties of
these colors do not show thrips injury
unless the insects are numerous and the
amount of feeding is considerable. As
the house was planted late, there were
few blooms until December, and conse-
quently few thrips.

In the different compartments into
which the house was divided we are test-

ing the efficiency of some of the leading
insecticides now on the market.

In two compartments we are using the
insecticides as a spray, in three others
for fumigation, in one both for fumiga-
tion and for spray, and in the other for
check.

At the present writing there appears to
be little difference in the efficiency of the
different materials tried. In one in-
stance injury was done the plants by
using the substance according to the
manufacturer's directions accompanying
the goods.

It developed that, after all, we know
little about the composition of insecti-
cides; and, not having any insecticide
law in this state, there might be cases
where the compound contained little or
none of the essential constituent. Pure
nicotine is worth not less than $3 an
ounce. The nicotine is the constituent
which kills the insects. The price of the
preparations was not uniform, neither

were the claims of the manufacturers a.s
to the amount of nicotine. However, the
price did not vary according to the per-
centage of nicotine claimed to be in the
remedy. Why this difference! Did a
thirty per cent nicotine preparation con-
tain other valuable material to justify its
selling for more than a forty per cent
nicotine preparation!

Analysis of Remedies.

There was one way to find out about
some of these things and that was to
analyze them, which I proceeded to ar-
range for. This work is in progress and
I will call your attention to some com-
pleted results.

The insecticides so far as analyzed,
with one exception, were ammonia free.
The XL All vaporizing compound con-
tained camphor in addition to nicotine,
while the liquid preparation of the same
name, and intended for spraying, con-
*ained one-tenth the amount of nicotine,
vith soap or oil.

NEW ROSE

■"»

MRS. JARDINE

Every Florist who Plants a Rose for Winter Forcing wants at least Six Qualities

A FREE, STRONG GROWTH, WITH GOOD FOLIAGE. A VARIETY THAT CAN BE EASILY GROWN. LARGE
FLOWERS ON LONG STEMS. DELICIOUS FRAGRANCE. DISTINCT, PLEASING COLOR THAT WILL SELL
AT SIGHT. A ROSE THAT WILL HOLD ITS COLOR IN THE DULL DAYS OF DECEMBER AND JANUARY.

MRS. JARDINE has all these characteristics, and, in addition, is of so perfect a form that it can be used either
in the bud or half expanded flower. The color is a bright rosy pink, shading in the outer petals to salmon pink, and,
even in January, when Bridesmaids and Killarney lose their color, Mn. Jardine is as brignt as in October or March.

We extend a cordial invitation to everyone interested in this New Rose to visit our Nurseries and see it growing.

MRS. JARDINE has been awarded Two Silver Medals, numerous Certificates, and successfully stood the best
test which any novelty can possibly have in passing unanimously, in December, the Award Committee of the New
York Florists Club after an exhaustive examination of the growing plants, with a score of 92 points.

Strong: Plants on own roots, from 2;^-inch pots« $6.00 per doz.; $30.00 per 100; $70.00 per 260;
$260.00 per 1000; 6000 for $1126.00; 10,000 for $2126.00.

Grafted on Dickson's Manetti' Stocks, $6.00 per 100 additional.

carnation plants from the field. Twenty-
eight tests were made on different lots
of plants, using the gas at the rate of
an ounce and three-fourths to seven
ounces per 1,000 cubic feet, and at inter-
vals of from five minutes to one hour,
with one set exposed for twelve hours.
The important consideration is that none
of the tests was made at a higher tem-
perature than the night temperature
usually carried on carnation houses. The
result was that the plants were not in-
jured.

Perhaps some persons may think that
we have not reported many results, but I
«-ish to say that the responsibility resting
on all connected with this work, whether
on the committee or the station staff, and
further, the amount of capital involved,
are too great for any of us to report re-
sults which we are not absolutely certain
are correct.

Ix)UisiAXA, Mo. — The death of C. H.
Foreman, and the injury of his brother,
Claude Foreman, by the chimney falling
on them during the fire which destroyed
the greenhouses, was reported in the Re-
view of February 13. It now appears
that Claude Foreman, who was already
blind in one eye, has lost the sight of the
other through the accident.

FERTIUZERS FOR VEGETABLES.

This is a problem which should be
carefully studied by all agriculturists
or horticulturists. A thorough under-
8tan<1ing of the use of fertilizers and

manures for tiie different crops is of
the greatest value to the vegetable grow-
er, providing he applies his knowledge
to his crops with untiring determina-
tion to do everything possible for the
benefit of the plants. The grower must
bear in mind that with modern com-
petition he cannot afford to neglect the
slightest detail. A thorough understand-
ing of the subject will enable him to
buy and use the different forms of
manures an<l fertilizers to the best ad-
vantage.

Mbnures from animals or commercial
fertilizers are all practically the same;
that is, merely so much refuse contain-
ing the three forms of necessary plant
food, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and pot-
ash, but in different proi)ortions. Bear
in mind that these three ingredients are
what the i)lants extract from the soil.
We should not think of the manure as
so many loads or tons or so much mere
bulk, but think of the amount of nitro-
gen, phosphoric acid and ])otash which
the plants will get from the refuse,
whether it be animal manure or packing
bouse refuse.

Different crops use the three above-
mentioned plant foods or chemicals in
greatly varied proportions. Every sea-
son a goo<lly quantity of the existing
foods in the soil is removed and sold in
the form of vegetables, flowers, etc. If
these were not removed from the soil,
but left to rot and be turned into the
soil again, the soil would remain equally

fertile, but as we keep selling our prod-
ucts we nuist keep nuinuring. It is
true that the soil derives some fertilizer
from the air, but only a little, and to
be successful a grower must a<ld more
fertilizer each season, or for each crop
where the soil is not exchanged for
new soil each time.

In commercial fertilizers one can often
buy just the desired article his soil and
crops need, if he knows their needs, but
in manure it is different. Although we
have tables of proportions of the foods
in the different kinds of animal manure,
we must make allowance for the con-
dition in which the manure hai>pens to
be when used, which is more frequently
weak or poor than otherwise.

How often we are asked by the ama-
teur what kind of manure is best for
his lettuce, cucumbers or tomatoes, etc.!
It is next to imj)ossible to answer such
questions intelligently, not knowing what
food happens to be in the soil. We
can only advise what would be best pro-
viding the soil were new and had not
been used long enough to be completely
worn out, or overloaded with one in-
gredient or another from constant
manuring with one kind of fertilizer.
Every grower should study with the de-
termination to get a thorough under-
standing of what his different crops need
and then be his own judge as to what
forms of fertilizer to use to get the food
in the most suitable proportions.

in nearly all experiment station publi-
cations on fertilizers, or in the bulletins
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, but we give below a few
pointers in which the hothouse vege-
table grower is most interested.

Nitrogen promotes growth of stems
and foliage. Potash finishes the filling
out of the foliage, fruit, etc., and hard-
ens the stems or stalks. Phosphoric
acid, probably the most important of
the three, assists in the maturing of
the crop and the setting of fruit or
flowers in greater quantity.

Many growers are successful in grow-
ing a" fine, healthy batch of plants,
but fail to get satisfactory results as
to number of blooms or quantity of
fruit, from lack of phosphoric acid in
the soil in sufficient quantity. Usually
such cases are a result of continual use
of horse manure, the best and most
popular of fertilizers for vegetables.
This is richest in nitrogen, but some
commercial fertilizer should be used in
connection with it after a few applica-
tions, to furnish more phosphoric acid
and potash. For vegetable growers there
is no manure so good as horse manure,
if good and fresh and not burned and
dried out. Bone meal makes an ex-
cellent running mate, and when these
two are properly used together, the
finest crops can be grown on the same
soil year after year.

Horse manure is considered valuable
for vegetables partly on account of its
heating and warming the soil and loos-
ening it up or putting it in the best
mechanical condition, but this is getting
away from the subject of plant food.

There is entirely too much confusion
caused, in the mind of the buyer who
does not happen to be posted, by the
various terms and high sounding words
used by fertilizer dealers or manufactur-
ers in labeling their goods. It often
seems that the guaranteed analysis is
so worded as to intentionally confuse
the buyer, especially if the goods are
short of any one ingredient. The grow-
er, like the' oft quoted man from Mis-
souri, must insist that he be * ' shown '''
just what per cent of available nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash the goods
contain before he gets confused by such
terms as precipitated, reverted, soluble,
actual equivalent, etc.

We give below a table of the proportions
of ingredients used in fertilizer on dif-
ferent crops to best advantage in recent
experiments :

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

February 27, 1908.

„ T^ , „ .^1 • T,i Des Moines, Iowa, February 19, 1908.

Editor Florists' Review, Chicago, 111.

Dear Sir: — We take pleasure in enclosing herewith photograph taken of our mail Monday morning,

February 17, which was the largest single mail that we ever received, there being 7163 letters and postals in

our mail that day. This was simply the first morning mail.

Tell your advertisers not to get "cold feet " because of the financial stringency which has prevailed dur-
ing the past three months ; there is plenty of money and plenty of business in the country if they only go after
it in the right way. The farmers have the money this year ; advertising will bring it, if properly written and
inserted in good, live papers.

The Review has given us excellent results from the trade, and we are glad to notice that its columns
are so well filled. Yours very truly,

Iowa Seed Company, per Page.

ires., M. H. Duryea, New York ; Sec'y and
rreas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland.

Seed of Large Red Wethersfield onion
is offered at $2 per pound.

Mail orders are said by most seed
bouses to be up to what they usually are
in February.

The western catalogue seed houses re-
port business starting off in a way which
seems to assure each of them a banner
season.

The government seed shop is doing
the largest mail trade in the country
just now. The appropriation for the 1909
distribution will soon be before congress.

E. J. Sheap, of S. M. Isbell & Co.,
Jackson, Mich., is visiting the trade in
the east and southeast and reports good
success in booking contracts for peas,
beans, sweet corn, radish, tomato and
vine seeds.

At Chicago February 25 timothy seed
was slightly easier for country lots,
which ranged from $3.60 to $4.60. Cash
contract closed at $4.80 and March at
$4.85. Clover seed was sharply higher,
in sympathy with stronger outside mar-
kets. Cash contract closed at $19.50,
March at $19.60, and cash lots at $12@
19.

P. A. Forbes, Plymouth, Ind., says
that although it often is stated that the
buyers do not want the extra large on-
ions, still growers he supplied seeds to
last year obtained 5 cents to 8 cents
more for large ones than the smaller
onions brought. One of his exhibits at
the seed store is a photograph of two
bushels of onions, one of which con-
tained fifty-six red onions, weighing
fifty-six pounds, and the other fifty-six
yellow onions, weighing fifty-two pounds.

There is a horticulturist named D. C.
Turnipseed at Flora, Ala.

M. Lytle is preparing to open a seed
store at Clear Lake, la.

The counter trade is beginning to
wake up, in spite of wintry weather.

True White Globe onion seed of guar-
anteed germination is offered at $3 per
pound.

The weather of the season to date
has been favorable to the California seed
growers.

The wholesale lists indicate an ability
to supply most of the scarce items to
anyone who needs them at a fair price.

The Henry Field Seed Co., at Shen-
andoah, la., reports that it is feeling the
full effect anticipated from the material
enlargement of its facilities made since
last season.

Practically every seedsman will as-
sume all responsibility for his seeds as
long as they are in the bag, but after
they go into the ground the seedsman
has no control and the risk of failure be-
comes the planters'.

In 1907 the crop of timothy seed in
Illinois was only 49,030 bushels, the
smallest in thirty years, or since the
State Board of Agriculture has kept rec-
ords. The banner crop was in 1881, when
it amounted to 426,531 bushels.

The seed advertising in the March
magazines makes a good showing as com-
pared with last year, although the ma-
jority of seedsmen are now doing their
principal advertising in the farm papers
and the special horticultural publica-
tions.

Crosman Bros., Rochester, have just
issued their wholesale price-list of seeds.
Under sweet corns, the words "Crop
failed" appear in the price column op-
posite Country Gentleman. Eastern-
grown Stowell's Evergreen is quoted at
$7. On peas in ten bushel lots the fol-

lowing quotations are made : Alaska, $6 ;
Advancer, $4.75; Telephone, $5.75. Let-
tuces run 50 cents and 60 cents per
pound.

ADULTERATED SEEDS.

During the calendar year 1907 seeds
of agricultural plants were obtained in
the open market in accordance with the
following paragraph in the act of Con-
gress making appropriations for the De-
partment of Agriculture.

The Secretary o( Agriculture Is hereby di-
rected to obtain in the open market samples of
seeds of grass, clover, or alfalfa, test the same,
and if any such seeds are found to be adulter-
ated or misbranded, or if any seeds of Canada
bluegrass (Foa compressa) are obtained under
any other name than Canada bluegrass or Poa
compressa, to publish the result of the test, to-
gether with the names of the persons by whom
the seeds were offered for sale.

act, seeds of red clover, alfalfa, meadow
fescue, Bromus inermis, and Kentucky
bluegrass were secured and analyzed and
iu a circular dated February 15, 1908,
the Secretary of Agriculture publishes
the analyses of those samples found to
be adulterated or misbranded, together
with the names of the seedsmen by whom
they were offered for sale.

Of the 1,217 samples of red clover
seed secured, 405 contained seeds of dod-
der, 424 contained traces of yellow tre-
foil, and 135 bore evidence of having
originated in Chile.

Of the 399 samples of alfalfa seeds
secured, 191 contained seeds of dodder,
135 contained a trace of yellow trefoil,
120 contained a trace of sweet clover,
and 16 contained a trace of bur clover
seed.

Of the 64 samples of meadow fescue
seeds obtained, 20 contained chess in
amounts varying from a trace to more
than 19 per cent, 4 contained seed of
rye-grass, 4 were misbranded, being Can-
ada bluegrass, 1 was misbranded, being
orchard grass, and another was mis-
branded, being a mixture of orchard
grass and fescue.

Of the 55 samples of Bromus inermis
seeds obtained, 15 contained seeds of
cheat or chess, 28 contained from 2 to 3
per cent of seeds of the wheat-grasses,
several contained seeds of meadow fescue,
and one contained more than 24 per cent
of meadow fescue and rye grass-seed

The bulbs are thoroughly ripened one month before the Bermuda Harrisii and
are considered far superior in quality, as they are entirely free from disease.

Careful trials were made for two years and were so successful that we imported

GLADIOLUS PRAECOX HARDY.

The perfect hardiness of Gladiolus
PrsBCox is with most cultivators a mat-
ter of great doubtfulness. According to
a letter of the introducers, the firm of
F. Roemer, at Quedlinburg, appearing
in the issue of Die Gartenwelt for Janu-
ary 11, the plant in color or markings
or size is not inferior to any other
race of gladiolus, and it has the great
advantage over those of being easily in-
creased by seed, the seedlings also
flowering the first year. That the
corms are hardy was well established in
Mr, Roemer 's garden last winter, a se-
vere one in Germany. Young brood and

corms were inadvertently left in the soil
in which the seedlings had been grown,
which was thrown into a heap and ex-
posed to the severe frosts that occurred,
without protection from snow or any-
thing else; and the frost had penetrated
the soil to the depth of one foot. To'
wards the middle of May Mr. Roemer
was astonished to observe the heap to
be covered with gladioli arising from
the brood corms, many of them only
just covered by the soil. The conns
were left undisturbed in the heap, where
they flowered beautifully. The Horti-
cultural Trade Journal says the matter
to be certain about is, if only the brood
is hardy, and the full grown corms not
hardy. So far no species or race of
gladiolus have proved hardy. Further
trials seem desirable with G. Praecox.

SOME MORE ABOUT GLADIOLUS.

Referring to the notes in the Review
of January 23, and February 13, speak-
ing of ruffled gladioli, I found some of
the same among my new hybrids. One
was almost white, with large flowers
which resemble A. E. Kunderd's de-
scription. I also have one which flowers
all around the spike, behaves well and
multiplies rapidly. I also found one
which has flowers like rose buds, and
one which has kinks in the petals that
make it look like a double one.

Arthur Cowee inquires for an ever-
blooming gladiolus. I have it, or at
least a start, selected from my hybrids.
The corms grow, from the largest to the
smallest bulblets, all in a bunch so they
show as if they would grow and bloom
continuously if they were forced. This
year I shall trv the forcing of them and

FLORICULTURAL EDUCATION.

The Missotiri Botanical Garden.

The discussion of opportunities for
gardening education, which have recently
appeared in the Eeview, and the refer-
ences that have been made to our course
at the Missouri Botanical Garden, with
several inquiries that have since been
received at my office, make me think
that perhaps you may like to show just
what we ^re offering in the way of in-
struction, and, if so, you will find the
course on pages 6 to 9 of the announce-
ment that I am sending under separate
cover. Six free scholarships only are
provided. These are now all assigned,
and none are expected to be free until
a year from the present time; but a pro-
vision is noted on page 9 of the an-
nouncement by which pupils bearing
their own expenses and paying a nominsd
tuition are received on otherwise the
same footing as pupils holding scholar-
ships. William Trelease, Director.

That part of the announcement which
relates to the course of instruction is as
follows :

During the first year of their scholar-
ship, garden pupils work at the practical
duties of the garden nine or ten hours
daily according to the season, the same
as regular employees of the Garden, and
are also expected to read the notes and
articles referring to the subject of their
work, in one or more good journals.
After the first year, one-half of each
<lay is given to manual work, the re-

All of the above subjects capable
of being taught in the laboratory, the
greenhouse, or the field, are so taught,
and all of the theoretical instruction is
expected to be practically tested in the
performance of the manual work re-
quired of students, the object being to
make practical gardeners and not bot-
anists or other scientific specialists, of
garden pupils.

The second year's work only is now
given each year, while the work of the
third and fourth years is given alter-
nately to two combined classes.

By action of the board of trustees,
taken at its meeting of November 16,
1894, the director is authorized ' * to ad-
mit, in addition to those holding garden
scholarships, as many suitably prepared
garden pupils as can, in his judgment,
be adequately taught without material
increase in the cost of tuition, each pu-
pil so admitted to be charged $25 per
year tuition, and to be entitled to the
same certificate as a scholarship pupil
on completion of the prescribed course
and examinations."

FANCY CA1,ADIUMS.

Fancy caladiums are useful for sum-
mer decorations and also work in well in
mixed tropical beds. The tubers, which
should now be started, need a brisk heat.
Place in small pots singly, or, better still,
in flats of leaf -mold and sand, until they
start to grow and make roots. Then shift
into larger pots. Be careful in watering
at first, or you will be liable to rot the
tubers. These caladiums are more grown
by southern than northern florists, many

of the latter not having sufficiently warm
houses for them. In summer they suc-
ceed finely in brick frames, and where a
quantity of young crotons, dracsenas and
other varieties of tropical plants are
wanted, frame culture will produce bet-
ter plants than can be had in green-
houses.

Speaking of caladiums reminds us that
it is yet a little too early to start the
tubers of Caladium esculentum. The
middle of March is quite time enough.

C, W.

THHIPS ON CALLAS.

I enclose a calla bloom on which you
will see a number of black spots, which I
take to be some kind of scale. I have
fumigated freely with tobacco stems and
with nicotine extract, but this does not
appear to affect the scales. Please tell
me what these are and what can be done
to remove them. They are on all my
calla blooms and make them unsalable.

A. A.

Your calla flowers are infested with
thrips, not scale. This is a difficult pest
to eradicate when it has secured a firm
foothold. The thrips, both young and
adult, suck the juices from the flowers
and leaves of the plants they attack. On
the leaves, the small spots where the
sucking has been done soon turn brown,
making them present a speckled appear-
ance. On flowers, small, pale blotches
soon show on the petals. There were
many of these on the lower part of the
flowers forwarded.

You must have failed to fumigate with
regularity, or the thrips would not have
got ahead of you. Get one of the to-
bacco extracts and give your plants a
spraying, using it double the strength
you would for aphis. Persist in this
until your flowers come clean. Syringe
your plants regularly, using a spray noz-
zle, and fumigate once a week. By fol-
lowing these rules another season, you
should have no further trouble with this
pest, "G. W.

PACIFIC COAST.

TREE SEEDS IN CALIFORNIA.

The present time is probably the best
for the planting of ornamental or forest
tree seeds in California. It is a com-
mon misconception among growers that
during the summer or early autumn is
the proper season in which to plant
seed of hardy trees. The fact that the
seeds germinate and commence to grow
at the time when tlie dark days and
long nights are on us makes it quite
a task to keep damping off from claim-
ing a large share at such times, in the
neighborhood of San Francisco.

Seed germinates much more quickly
in warm weather, but my experience has
been that this is offset by the fact that
the young plants are usually too small
or frail to bear transplanting in the
early winter and they certainly are too
small for sale at that time.

This does not refer to some varieties
that must be left several months in
boxes before they germinate, but to
seeds that ordinarily give plants that
can be transplanted in six months. Seed
planted now, if under favorable condi-
tions, will produce plants that will grow
very quickly during the summer and
can be transplanted in the early fall.
Some varieties of gums and cypress will
be large enough to sell in the following
winter, and there is little trouble in
handling transplanted stock as compared
with that which is too soft or small to
transplant, even under the most favor-
able conditions. G.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market

There in a decided improvement in
business and February is keeping up its
standard of being one of the best months
in {he year. Last week was one of great
activity^ enabling us to sell out clean.
Boses are still scarce and carnations
none too plentiful. Bulbous stuff is now
seen in large quantities, with little of in-
ferior grade. It is much needed and sells
well at a good, profitable figure.

St. Valentine's day is not to be reck-
oned with lightly, as the one just passed
has proven. Nothing fussy or senti-
mental was introduced, the extra labor
being avoided in order to care for a great
sale on cut flowers; Anything from 50
cents to $3 was popular. There were no
less than 2,000 bunches of violets dis-
posed of by the trade on that day. Quite
a few of these were shipped in from
California, and when properly packed
you can see spot cash on them. Azaleas,
cinerarias and other plants were likewise
favored and we all suffered from that
tired feeling when closing time came.

Various Notes.

Perhaps one reason why business took
such a spurt on Valentine's day was the
presence of Mr. and Mrs. H. Bayersdor-
fer, of Philadelphia, who honored the
trade with a brief call. Not having seen
Mr. Bayersdorfer since the writer was a
delivery boy in Buffalo, N. Y., ten years
ago, we were sorry for no better oppor-
tunity to discuss matters of mutual in-
terest with that wide-awake business man.
This was their first visit to the coast.

The finest violets seen this season are
the Princess of Wales grown by Gus

Teufel, out on the Barnes road. The
extra care given the plants last summer
is bringing its reward.

Clarke Bros, are preparing for a big
plant trade by mailing 20,000 retaU
catalogues. This is an annual occurrence
with them, and always results in keeping
the whole force out of mischief untU
June 1.

Grand preparations are in progress for
the June festival of roses, which will be
repeated on a much broader scale than
last year. A liberal sum has been sub-
scribed by local enthusiasts. The park
blocks, twelve in number, extending
north and south through the city, where
the silver thaw ruined so many fine trees
a year ago, have been dug up and will be
entirely planted with roses next month.
This ought to make an effective showing
and is only one of the features planned.

Business has been gradually getting
better for the last two weeks and, as
a consequence, flowers are scarce. This
is very noticeable in the rose line; the

retailers have had much trouble in get-
ting stock enough to fill orders. Car-
nations, especially fancy stock, are also
rather slow in coming into, town and
many more could be disposed of. This
tendency has made flowers stiffer in price.
There is probably a ten per cent in-
crease throughout.

The rain of last week has given place
to plenty of warm sunshine, and the
present lack of stock cannot be laid to
continuous dark weather, as it was in
January. "Off crop" explains every-
thing. In all the large places the cut-
ting is light at this time, and it will be
several weeks before there is any ex-
cess of stock.

Yellow narcissi have sold well and the
heavy crop is over. The late bloom-
ing kinds will probably be in even great-
er demand. White narcissi have gone
upward in price and are being used
largely in funeral work. Violets are
still fairly plentiful, but the signs are
for a lessened output shortly.

Fruit blossoms and all kinds of wild
stock sell well at good prices. Smilax

is becoming scarcer and of poor quality.
Wild maidenhair is now at its best and
helps out the retailers splendidly, as
the tame variety was getting very short
and poor. Valley and a few Boman hya-
cinths help, but the outlook for much
stock for several weeks is poor indeed.

Vatiota Notes.

A. D. Sanborn, the Berkeley florist,
is convalescing, after his recent sickness.

George B. Jones is still confined to
St. Joseph's hospital. He received a
paralytic stroke a short time ago and
has been unable to leave his bed since
then.

The Chico Nurseries will auction a lot
of fruit and ornamental trees, which
were sold by their agents last summer
in Elmhurst and vicinity, and which they
have been unable to deliver to the pur-
chasers.

E. W. McLellan & Co. are cutting
heavily of Bridesmaid from the Meyer
nurseries, recently leased by them at
Burlingame.

Frank Shibeley will make a specialty
of florists' supplies in addition to his
flower business. He is successor to the
Shibeley-Mann Co.

Fred Harding will leave on a trip to
Portland, Ore., and Washington, to be
gone several weeks.

H. Gresens has been heard from in
Hamburg. He will not return to Call*
fomia for several months. O.

VAYSIDE NOTES.

Wm. Eccles, superintendent to Morti-
mer Schiff, of Oyster Bay, N. Y., has
installed a handsome ice-chest, fourteen
feet long by twelve feet tall, at a cost
of $1,200. This will be used for storing
cut flowers, which are shipped from
Northwood twice a week to New York.
Four additional houses for carnations
and a large palm house were built here
last fall by "William Lutton and are very
satisfactory.

John GriflSn, gardener to Stanley Mor-
timer, intends making some changes in
the splendid Italian garden at Roslyn.
This is one of the sights on Long Island
and undoubtedly the largest in this coun-
try.

Chas. Bussell, superintendent to W. F.
Sheehan, at Roslyn, expects to see a
range of glass built this season. He pre-
sides over about 1,000 acres of land and
feels lost without a greenhouse. M.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.

Joseph Dexter, gardener to Hon. White-
law Beid, is justly proud of a fine speci-
men of Bougainvillea speeiosa. This va-
riety is far superior to Sanderiana, the
flower being larger and of brilliant color.
It has a rather shy habit, being hard to
propagate, but is a grand thing and
would make a splendid commercial plant.
Stock Queen Alexandra is undoubtedly
the best thing of its kind yet introduced.
It makes a fine pot plant. The flowers
come almost 100 per cent double, bloom-
ing freely and of a pleasing color. Mr.
Dexter has shipped several to the New
York market, with very satisfactory re-
sults. He is also a large shipper of cat-
tleyas. He grows them on blocks, but
may change this method. I noted a big
lot of vigorous plants at J. L. Loose's
growing in bundles of peat suspended
from the roof, showing roots of excep-
tional length and strength. This is

Behembeb that a rotation of crops is
just as important in a nursery as on a
farm.

W. F. Heikes, of the Huntsville
Wholesale Nurseries, Huntsville, Ala,,
has been reelected president of the Ala-
bama State Horticultural Society.

The Phoenix Nursery Co., Blooming-
ton, 111., has established a northwestern
headquarters in the Christenson block at
Fargo, N. D., in charge of Will H.
Sabin.

C. D. Otis, the well-known florist at
Lake Charles, La., is president of the
Louisiana State Horticultural Society,
which held its annual meeting at Minden
last week.

At Angleton, Tex., Theo. De Vries and
C. L. Cochran have bought twenty acres
of land and will establish a nursery,
making a specialty of citrus fruits and
ornamentals.

E. S. CuLTKA, proprietor of the Home-
wood Nurseries, near Conway, S. C, will
discontinue growing a general line of
nursery stock and devote his entire at-
tention to growing roses.

JuNiPERUs Canadensis aubea is a low,
spreading juniper, with golden yellow
foliage which darkens to bronze color in
winter. This juniper is very effective
when planted in groups on slopes and in
rockeries.

In rows of evergreens which were
transplanted last year, every other one
should be taken out for sale this spring,
in order to make those left handsome
specimens, which will command a much
higher price next year.

NuRSEEYMEN having storage houses
and cellars have great advantages over
those who do not possess these convenient
accessories. Trees and shrubs, especially
the latter,- can be shipped earlier and to
better advantage out of such storage
places in early spring than from the
open ground. And then, again, storage
houses and cellars can be used for the
purpose of prolonging the shipping, and
as a result, prolonging the planting sea-
son of many plants, which may be a
great advantage when the business ex-
tends over a larg^ area of country.

The Cedar Hill Nursery and Orchard
Co., Winchester, Tenn,, the financial
troubles of which were reported in last
week 's Eeview, is not only one of the
largest institutions of its kind in that
part of the country, but was in reality
the pioneer of the nursery business in
that section. M. J. Shadow, father of
J. W. Shadow, the present proprietor,
was the first man to engage in that
business there, and his sons have since
continued it. The Cedar Hill nursery
did an average annual business of $250,-
000, and gave employment to a large
number of people. Hugh Morton, the
trustee, will continue the business for the
benefit of the creditors, and Mr. Shadow
hopes to clean up all outstanding obli-
gations inside of a year. In fact, if this

should be a good peach year the peach
orchards will easily pay off all obliga-
tions.

PROTECTION IN SPRING.

Bhododendrons, as well as many kinds
of choice evergreens, are occasionally al-
lowed to suffer considerably in the early
spring by a too absolute and early re-
moval of what had been used for their
protection all through the winter. 'VThen
such plants are covered so as to exclude
the sunlight during the winter, it will
be well to remove such covering by easy
stages, in order that a sudden exposure to
the sun and the cold, sharp winds may
not injuriously affect them.

English ivy is liable to be injured by
removing all at once, or too early, that
which has protected it all winter. It
stands to reason that plants covered, as
we see English ivy, with burlap for four
or five months, will not take kindly to a
sudden removal of their protection, and
the appearance of the foliage a few
days after such removal is convincing
proof that they were not in a condition
to stand such treatment. M.

FUNKIAS F«OR OUTDOOR WORK.

Funkias aree among the hardiest and
most omamentsal plants for outdoor plant-
ing. Funkia ggiandiflora is not only rich-
ly ornamental iin its luxuriance of foliage,
but it is also beautiful when in bloom.
The flowers aare pure white and very
odoriferous, p»erhaps a little too much
so. A large clTiimp of this funkia, border-
ed with F. aUlo-maxginata,- is quite ef-
fective.

These plant i s will grow in almost an^
kind of soil, w^et or dry, but they develop
their most str-riking characteristics when
planted in go«od, rich soil of moderate
depth.

Another go«od trait in these plants
is their capabiility of being rapidly mul-
tiplied. They- can he divided in early
summer, with the result that those newly
planted will grow and flower just as if
they had not Hbeea disturbed. M.

best in, which is a soil containing a
large proportion of peat. In most cases,
however, there is but little difficulty in
obtaining a supply of leaf-mold, which
is a good substitute for peat for rhodo-
dendrons. A still more satisfactory soil
for rhododendrons is made from leaf-
mold and well rotted manure in equal pro-
portions, which, when dug into the soil
where the plants are to be, will help
greatly in their well-doing.

Jt will also help these plants, if neither
peat nor any other suitable soil had been
used Avhen they were planted, to lightly
fork in a liberal quantity of leaf-mold
and well rotted nmnure early in the
spring, and if there is a superfluity of
this material at hand it will benefit the
j)lants wonderfully to put a layer over
the surface and leave it there untouched,
to form a mulch. M.

DETROIT.

The Market

Monday is usually about the best day
of the week with the retailers in this
city, but last Monday was an exception.
There was but little funeral work and
this caused the dullness.

Roses are hardly equal to the demand,
but carnations are piling up. While the
demand for carnations is by no means
small, every one seems, to have an
exceptionally heavy crop coming on.

Much bulbous stock is on the market
and considerable is going to waste. About
the only article that sells as well as
ever is ferns. The Michigan Cut Flower
Exchange shipped in the neighborhood
of 600,000 or 700,000 fancy ferns last
January. Southern smilax meets with
a good demand.

' Various Notes.

Frank Danzer is on duty again. A
bad fall on a slippery walk a few weeks
ago resulted in a lay-up for a few weeks.

Schroeter had a big call for spring
flowers for a large wedding decoration
last Tuesday.

J. F. Sullivan is again confined to
his bed. Since the first of the year he
has not been able to attend to business,
being laid up most of the time.

S. S. Skidelsky has just sent to B.
Schroeter an order for another 1,000
rooted cuttings of Winsor, to go to Rob-
ert Klagge, at Mount Clemens. This
beautiful carnation is a favorite with
the growers in the Bath City.

With the president, secretary and some
of the other regidars on the sick list
and car service badly crippled by a
blizzard, it is no wonder that there wsis
nothing doing the night of the last meet-
ing. In fact, the meeting was not called
to order, owing to the small attendance.

Breitmeyer's Sons had quite a large
wedding decoration this week and are
preparing for another good-sized job for
next week. One of their large show

CHARLOTTE, N. C.

Charlotte is to have a new industry,
in the shape of a rose farm, which
Charles R. Wintzer is to establish here
at once. This enterprise is largely in
the nature of a trial, but if it proves
the success anticipated it will become a
permanent thing. Mr. Wintzer is here
with his father, Antoine Wintzer, who is
vice-president of the Conard & Jones
Co., of West Grove, Pa.

Mr. Wintzer has secured several acres
of land from Mr. Sholtz, the florist, and
near him, and will immediately have
shipped here from West Grove some 30,-
000 young plants. After this year they
will be propagated here. He will have
from 100 to 1,000 plants of each kind,
and Mr. Wintzer hopes to establish him-
self here for life.

Mr. Wintzer will sell only own root
rbses; no budded or grafted stock. He
will not handle cut flowers.

TOLEDO, OHIO.

Cuirent G>tnment.

Outside of a large number of good
funeral orders, local florists report a
dull week. Following Valentine's day,
bad weather had a tendency to decrease
the demand for flowers. One sad oc-
currence that helped trade was the To-
ledo & Western Electric and Big Four
wreck, in which eight passengers of the
electric car met death.

The Schoen Floral Co. will open one
of the largest retail cut flower and plant
stores in the city March 1, located at 409
Adams street, owing to increase of busi-
ness and lack of room in their former
store.

The Wisner Floral Co. reports a slump
at the downtown store, but is doing good
business at the greenhouse.

George Heinl reports spring flowers
Belling well.

The many friends of Mrs. J. B. Free-
man, for many years with George Heinl,
will be interested to hear of the marriage
of her daughter, Flora Belle, to Edward
Francis Potts, a former resident of
Indianapolis. The marriage occurred at
Detroit last week.

Charles E. Russell, with the Gasser
Co., Cleveland, passed through the city
February 22, for Flint, Mich., where he
was called to the bedside of his sick
uncle, J. M. Gasser.

The death of Ewald Suder, reported
in the obituary column this week, was
a great shock to the trade here.

The Youngstown Floral Co. received
an extra large shipment of Killarney
roses that have been selling fast. This
flower is popular in Toledo.

Two new houses have recently been

CARNATION CUTTINGS

WINSOR,

WHITE ENCHANTRESS,

We are in unusually good position to supply exceptionally well-
rooted, healthy stock. We have such a large quantity of flowering
plants that we propagate only from heel cuttings from flowering
shoots. Our cuttings are rooted in light, sunny, airy houses, and we
are sure will satisfy the most critical buyer.

A prominent carnation grower writes: "you seem to be the only
flrm in tlie business tliat knoivs ho^r to paclc stock and
have it reach the buyer in srood condition, and I have always
found your cuttings cheaper than the same varieties from others at
much lower flgures."

While our prices may not always be the cheapest, we certainly
can give, <iuality considered, as good value as, if not better than,
is obtainable anywhere.

We offer also BEACON and RED CHIEF, froin sand, $6.00 per 100: $50.00 per 1000. From soil, $7.S0 per 100; $60.00 per 1000.
Also VICTORY, MELODY, WHITE PERFECTION, from sand, $4.00 per 100; $85.00 per 1000. From soil, $6.00 per 100: $45.00
per 1000. VARIEGATED LAWSON, WHITE LAWSON and RED LAWSON, from sand, $S.OO per 100; $25.00 per 1000. From soil,
$4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. We can also supply WINONA and AFTERGLOW, $1S.U0 per 100: $100.00 per 1000.

Buyers wiil find transplanted stock offered from soil ixrell worth the difference in price.

which we introduced last year.has proved to be
the finest novelty introduced in years. We think
it is the most profitable variety grown today, considering its fine color,
splendid keeping qualities, and productiveness. When properly grown,
it leaves little to be desired, and almost everyone succeeds with it.

Tliero is not much improvement in
the cut flower trade here. About the onlj'
thing doing is funeral work. This uses
up large quantities of flowers. The
supply of stock is good just nowjf* prices
remain about the same as usual. Car-
nations bring 50 cents per dozen retail.
Th?re is a heavy call for the Winsor car-
nation, in preference to other sorts. This
is a fine color and takes well with the
jniblic in this city. Some good violets
are coming in. They retail at 75 cents
and .$1 per hundred. Roses bring $1.5(1
per dozen retail. These are of good qual-
ity. Sweet peas of good grade are com-
ing in and retail at $1 per hundred.
There is a good call for bulbous stock
just now; 50 cents per tlozen is the price
usually asked, but one grower is adver-
tising'them at 35 cents per dozen retail.

Most of the growers have planted their
ten weeks' stock seed by now. An enor-
mous quantity of this flower is raised by
local men.

Last week gave the cut flower trade a
little spurt by the opening of a new cafe.
Many fine floral pieces adorned the ta-
bles.

James Cleary is handling some fine
violets. He always has an attractive
Avindow display. Mr. Cleary handles the
entire output of S. S. Peckham.

H. A. .Tahn is laid up with an attack
of the grippe.

A. B. Hathaway has some nice sweet
peas, for which he finds a ready sale.

E. H. Chamberlain is strong on "Winsor
carnations. He reports a good demand
for them.

ST. PAUL.

The Market

February trade has been good. The
weather has been fine and nearly all
lines of stock plentiful. Violets were
never bef-ore so plentiful in this market.
One of the leading growers says he
threw away 25,000 good blooms during
the month. At $1 per hundred, the
prevailing price, this means a big loss.
Carnations have also been somewhat in
oversupply, and of choice quality. Roses
have been good and just about equal
to demands.

Bulbous stock is coming in freely,
with more or less going to waste. With
twenty-five or thirty Hollanders urging
their bulbs upon the growers and prom-
ising all kinds of unique and novel
treasures, is it any wonder that the
florists are overloaded with this stock
at times.' Even Yankee shrewdness is
sometimes overcome by Dutch cleverness.

Qub Meeting.

The Twin City Florists' Club met at
the City park greenhouses, Minneapolis,
February 18. The report of the com-
mittee appointed to fix prices on bedding
plants was adopted, after making a
few changes.

A committee was appointed to meet
the state fair executive board to urge
upon that body the necessity for pro-
viding better and larger quarters for
floral products and larger premiums.
This is a move in the right direction
and should result in much good to the
trade.

A. S. Swanson read a paper on "The
Benefits to be Derived by the Members
of This Club," which was thoroughly
discussed.

Mr. Wirth announced the securing of
Mr. Withers, of New York, to deliver
a course of lectures on tree planting.

The club will visit L. L. May & Co.'s
new seed warehouse Februarv 26.

X. Y. Z.

EouND Peak, N. C— G. A. Holder will
pay out to the women and children of
this neighborhood this season as much as
$3,000 for picking and bunching galax
leaves.

Vassar, Mich. — A fire at the estab-
lishment of Edwin Tibbitts, February
lOj destroyed his dwelling and badly
<]amaged the greenhouse, which had just
been completed and put in running or-
der. The loss is about $3,000, only
$1,100 of which is covered by insurance.

The garden committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society recently visited the
greenhouses of H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, to see his carnations. A white seedling which is
largely planted and which has been shown at Boston and other shows, was looking fine. It is
the most wonderfully prolific white the committee had seen. The flower is large, full and the
stem ideal.— Boston News-letter in Nov. 28, 1907, issue of The PiiOBisxs' Review.

to by the committee is

THE BOSTON VIOLET

The people today are looking for new Violets just as much as they are
for new roses or carnations. THE BOSTON VIOLET for the past two years
has been placed before the most skeptical buyers in America, and they prefer
it to any other.

THERE'S A REASON. The Boston Violet is the largest, the most
fragrant; it has a very pleasing color and it is a great keeper. THE BOSTON
VIOLET is a variety that is easily grown, it is the strongest grower and is in
crop from September to May.

THE BOSTON VIOLET was awarded a First-Class Certificate of Merit
by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and a Report of Superior Merit by
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, of Boston.

Distribution will commence in April. Order now.

Prices, $8.00 per doien; $18.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000

Tho annual dinner of tlio I^'nox Hor-

Rose and carnation night is March 7,

quite extensively at Lenox, coini)etitiou

WASHINGTON.

Current CotnmeaU

Business still keeps up. There is
plenty of stock, except Beauties. Funer-
al work and dinners have kept the stores
on the go.

Washington 's birthday was better than
last year. George Cooke had a unique
and well executed military dinner at
the Alibi Club. It included the repro-
duction of a fort. The sides were of
lyeopodiuni. , Twelve model guns fur-
nished by the officer giving the dinner
peeped through the sides. In the center
was a 4-foot disappearing gun. The
carriage and gun were made of black
immortelles. There were four piles of
cannon-balls, also made of immortelles.
On each end of the table was a plateau
of poinsettias and Farleyense fern. No
green of any kind wa? used on the table,
but the poinsettia bloom was laid all
over the cloth.

The holiday windows were not con-
fined to one or two stores, as was the
case a few years ago, for with a few
exceptions the stores all had their win-
dows appropriately arranged for Wash-
ington's birthday: Portraits of Wash-
ington, flags, ardisias, with ribbon and
small hatchets, etc.

Gude Bros. Co. had a full-sized cherry
tree, with southern smilax leaves and
artificial fruit. The tree was partly
chopped down, the hatchet lying be-
side the trunk. In the background was
a picture of Washington in a frame of
magnolia leaves, draped with a flag.

The Washington Florist Co. had a
pretty window, using quite a few hatchets
in the decoration.

George Schaflfer had an attractive win-
dow for the occasion.

J. J. Harty reports business good.
His shipping was extra heavy last week.

Francis Goehel, formerly ^vith the De-
partment of Agriculture, is now in
charge of Friendship, John R. McLean's
country place.

Visitors this week were Mr. and Mrs.
Lester P. Baker and a brother of Mr.
Baker, from Syracuse, N. Y. ; S. S. Pen-
nock, Philadelphia.

John Hauser and Miss Nellie Weiss
were married last week. Mr. Hauser
has been with George Fields for a num-
ber of years. Mr. Fields has been quite
ill with the grippe for the last two
weeks. O, O.

I WISH that you would discontinue my
advertisement until further notice, as I
have all the inquiries that I am able to
take care of. — C. E. Franke, Supt. of
Parks, Oklahoma City, Okla.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

J. ■( ^

Februabv 27, 1908.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

Not being able to get notes off for
last week's issue, I believe it not out
of place to mention that Valentine's
day was a hummer and cleaned up a
whole week's accumulation. Most of
the retail stores made a feature of flo-
ral valentines, and one house, which ad-
vertised them very extensively, shows
almost 1,000 deliveries for the day. In
the language of the firm, it was an
"early Easter."

Last week, I am sorry to say, there
was no Valentine's day; Washington's
birthday did not count. There was an
awful accumulation of stock. The com-
mission men pushed hard to get rid of
it and prices were certainly low enough,
but they could not make the demand,
and as a result the garbage man got
more than his share. In many instances
growers are complaining that they are
not getting as much for their stock as
last year and pretend not to understand
it, but from present indications they will
before spring.

The stock coming heaviest at this time
is carnations, peas, violets, myosotis,
mignonette and tulips.

There have been just about roses
enough to go around nicely.

Various Notes.

Ernest Ludwig is amusing himself on
the Pacific coast and sending his friends
postal cards. Just when we have the
worst kind of weather a batch of postals
will arrive saying, "Weather fine here;
flowers in bloom outdoors. ' '

Otto Miner, the landscape gardener
who has recently been running a flower
store at New Brighton, was married Feb-
ruary 20 to a McKees Rocks lady.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. made
some large shipments of wire designs
last week.

Mr. Thompson, grower for C. H.
Cramer, Uniontown, Pa., is a victim of
the grippe.

John Nichols, of Scottsdale, Pa., has
been ill most of the winter.

T. J. Allen, Charleroi, Pa., has open-
ed a new store.

Mr. Steele, of Uniontown, expects to
open a store in the near future.

Myers Bros., Altoona, are to build a
number of houses this spring.

Hoo-Hoo.

Bloomsburg, Pa. — The J. L. Dillon
estate says that trade here has been ex-
tremely good, in spite of the general
financial stringency. The demand has
been much larger than the supply.

Marquette, Mich. — E. R. Tauch says
he is more than satisfied with the busi-
ness he is doing, for he has need of much
more stock than he can produce under his
own glass and has to draw heavily on
the Chicago market.

We sell it without a name, but we stand back of it with a

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

State of Trade.

With the few bright, warm days we
had a week ago, has come the annual
glut of carnations. Prices have had to
drop in order to move the stock, and even
then nobody seemed particularly anxious
to invest, as trade is not good. Funeral
work uses up most of the stock. Roses
are rather scarce yet, especially the cheap-
er grades, which are most in demand.
Violets are selling fairly well at pres-
ent, more being used for St. Valentine's
day than ever before in Rochester.

Vaiiotis Notes.

George B. Hart is making prepara-
tions for big sales of Hart 's Handy
Handle for Easter. He has a large
stock on hand and in process of manu-
facture to meet the coming demands.

Thomas Cogger reports good business
in his new store on Main street.

Charles E. Fry proposes putting up
some new houses in addition to his pres-
ent plant.

George Bennett is building a dwell-
ing and a large house for carnations,
having bought six acr^s of land on the
boulevard. H. B. S,

OwENSBORO, Ky. — T. L. Metcalf, of
Hopkinsville, has opened a branch store
here,

Oneonta, N. Y. — C. E. ^iles has ;)een
on the sick list for about six months,
but is now much improved in health.

Manchester, Mich. — The firm of
Wurster & Higgins, gardeners, has dis-
solved partnership. They will continue
in business separately.

H. J. Smith says that this season has
thus far been an excellent one, as good
as he ever had. Orders have been large
and are still coming in heavily. His fall
and Christmas trade was fine, and with
Christmas trees, spruce boughs, festoon-
ing and ferns, he shipped over seventeen
carloads in December. He reports that
there is some complaint of ferns not
keeping well, and one dealer says he is
losing a large quantity through the stor-
age warehouse freezing them too hard.
Mr. Smith agrees that the storage of
ferns is a risky business, but says all the
dealers seem to be doing a first-class
trade this season and most of the ferns
are coming out in good shape. But there
does not promise to be any too many
ferns to carry the dealers to the end of
the season.

Christ Winterich, Defiance, O., has

changing weather conditions with ease
with his hot water system.

TO REDUCE SMOKE.

In a bulletin on ' * How to Bum Illinois
Coal Without Smoke," L. P. Brecken-
ridge says;

There are many small plants that are
hand-fired which smoke badly. The con-
struction of many of these furnaces is
such that it is almost impossible to ope-
rate the plant without smoke. Still,
something might be done to reduce smoke
if the fireman exercised more care in
firing. Whatever can be done by the
fireman in the way of properly introduc-
ing the fuel into the furnace is just so
much gained, for the best method of
hand-firing for smokelessness is also the
best method for attaining economy.
There are three generally recognized
' methods of hand-firing: (a) The Spread-
ing, (b) the Coking and (c) the Alter-
nate, The first is satisfactory and gen-
.erally used for anthracite; the second
for lroking^_.eaals^ and the last for noli-
coking coals. It is the alternate method
that is best suited to Illinois coals. This
method is described as follows: The
fuel bed area is divided into equal parts,
two, four,, or six, depending on the size
of the entire surface. The fresh coal is
fired alternately on one-half of these
areas at a time, at such intervals as may
be necessary to hold the steam pressure.
For small areas, first one-half the sur-
face of the fuel bed is covered and then,
perhaps three minutes later, the other
half. This method allows much of the
air supply to come through the bright
fuel bed, and thus become heated and
suitable for mixing with the highly vola-
tile content which is being rapidly driven
from the freshly fired coal on the other
side. Just because fresh fuel has been
spread over one part of the fuel bed, the
air most needed at that moment cannot
as easily flow through it, and another
part of the fuel bed should be left free
for its passage at that time. When the
fuel bed area is very large, some checker-
board system of firing may be adopted
which, when alternately fired and left
free for air passage, will result in a large
reduction in the amount of smoke pro-
duced by the too common method of
spreading the coal over the entire surface
at each firing.

It must not be forgotten that a large
supply of warm air is needed immediate-
ly after fresh fuel is spread over a part
or all of the fuel, bed; this is best sup-
plied as just explained, but it may be
advantageous to provide for still more
air by leaving the fire doors open slight-
ly just after each "firing. There are sev-
eral devices on the market which provide
for an air supply over the fire, which are
turned on with the opening or closing of
the fire door, and which can be arranged
to close at the end of any desired time,
depending upon the rate of driving and
frequency of firing found desirable. The
firing of small amounts of coal at fre-
quent intervals produces less smoke than
firing large amounts at longer intervials.
The latter method, however, usually
proves less tiresome to the fireman and

COAL AT CHICAGO.

The Black Diamond, authority in its
trade, says that "Chicago saw a conges-
tion of coal for practically all of the
winter up until two weeks ago, and then
there was just enough cold weather to
clean up the stocks on hand. Imme-
diately the trade plunged into another
period where the supply of coal is likely
again to glut the market.

"Smokeless coal for the time being is
comparatively firm, because the amount
on hand has been reasonably well cleaned
up. The recent cold snap caused some
jobbers to telegraph to their producing
companies to increase shipments into Chi-
cago territory, and these are now on the

USE OF CEMENT BLOCKS.

Cement blocks make the very best
greenhouse wall, beirlg warm, dry and
strong. They require no paint or repairs,
very little grout for foundation, and will
last a lifetime if well made. As com-
pared to the ordinary board wall of two

thicknesses of 1-inch lumber, with paper
between, the cost of the block wall is
about three times as much, but after the
wood wall has been Replaced by a new
one and both painted several times the
cost is nearly as much, and more or less
repairs will always be needed. The blocks
also make excellent sheds, boiler-houses
and office buildings, and at less cost than
lumber or brick for such purposes.

GERANIUMS FOR MEMORIAL DAY.

Will you please inform me as to the
latest date to disbud geraniums and get
them in bloom for Memorial day?

C. E. Y.

Allow them a month from the final dis-
budding and they will be all right. I
presume you refer to disbudding of the
flower trusses. If topping or pinching
the shootg is what you have in mind, dis-
continue it after the middle of March.
If grown in an ordinary greenhouse,
with a temperature ■ of 45 to 50 degrees
at night, I hardly think you need have
recourse to pinching out the flower
trusses at all, from ordinary bedding
geraniums. C. W.

THE READERS' CORNER.

The Special Plant Rate.

I am sending a card recently received
in a paekagQ pf plants, which is the best
idea that has been adopted by whole-
sale men; that is, of having the amount
of express chargss plainly marked on
the package. In nine out of ten ship-
ments received by me I have trouble with
the express agent to get the special
plant rate. It is easy to put "special
rate" stickers on the packages, but no
pains are taken to see that the packages
are billed at the plant rate, so they are
almost invariably sent at merchandise
rates. The large houses are as much to
blame as the smaller growers, who only
have a small surplus to dispose of. One
gets tired of continually having trouble
with the express agent, while if the
wholesale plantsmen would be a little
more careful to see that ^the shipment
was started right it would be avoided.

I should like to hear from some one
that has tried the Washington red cedar
for bench material as to its lasting quali-

"On account of the many complaints
we have been receiving relative to ex-
cessive express charges and overcharges,
and of the failure of many of our cus-
tomers to receive the benefit of the spe-
cial plant fate, we have made arrange-
ments to have all of our shipments
marked (on the tag) with the weight of
the shipment and charges (special plant
rate) to destination. If more than the
amount marked is collected advise us,

Billing clerks who mark shipments are
well informed on plant rates, and we feel
sure that very few mistakes, if any, will
occur.

"Unless requested, we will not pack

CYCAS REVOLUTA.

I have a Cycas revoluta which is drop-
ping its leaves, and I should like to
know what is the cause. Do the leaves
drop naturally? Can the stem be
started again, and if so, how and
when and at what temperature? Or is
the stem worthless? A. D.

drop naturally- until they are several
years old, and it would appear from
the question that the crown of the plant
has rotted. This may occur from the
overwatering of a poorly rooted plant,
combined with exposure to too low a
temperature. An examination of the
crown of the plant will soon prove
whether this is the trouble or not, and
if so there is no use in trying to start
it again.

A proper temperature in which to
start a dormant stem of cycas is about
65 degrees, but after the plant is well
rooted and the leaves are fully devel-
oped, a temperature of 50 degrees will
do no harm. W. H. Taplin.

DISPOSING OF THE SURPLUS.

Being located in a good town only a
four hours' run from two large wholesale
markets, if the grower failed to sell all
his stock locally could he always dispose
of it profitably in the city markets!

G. M. F.

In the matter of marketing surplus
stock in the large cities, you should re-
member that the time a grower for a
local market has a surplus is the time
when the wholesale growers for the big
markets are in heaviest crop. It nat-
urally follows that the time you have
stock for the wholesale markets, you will
find those markets most heavily sup-
plied. Then, too, the wholesaler natural-
ly feels that in times of glut his regular
shippers, who supply him with the means
of doing business in times of scarcity,
should have the preference, and the oc-
casional shipper therefore is not infre-
quently given the last chance at what-
ever demand there may be in times of
oversupply.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS.

Please let me know how the follow-
ing two problems are worked:

1. Two sides of a cabbage field are
75 rods and 60 rods long, respectively.
They are parallel to each other, and are
perpendicular to one end, which is 40
rods long? What is the area of the field
in acres?

2. A ditch has been dug that is 6 feet
wide at the bottom, 8 feet deep, and lias
side slopes of 1 : 1, "What will the excava-
tion cost per rod when the price is 8
cents a cubic yard? J. K.

1. The area of the field is 16% acres.
The rule is: Multiply the length by the
width (in rods) and divide the product
by 160. When the opposite sides are
unequal, add them, and take half the
sum for the mean length or width.

2. The cost will be $5.47% per rod.
The method is as follows: As the slope
of the sides is one foot to one foot, the
top of the ditch will be wider than the
botto^i, two feet for each foot of depth.
As the depth is 8 feet and the width at
bottom 6 feet, the width at the top is 22
feet. The problem then becomes the
computation of the areas of a parallelo-
gram 6x8 feet and two right-angled tri-
angles 8 feet on each side. As the two
triangles are of the same size, we can
reduce the computation to a space 8xl4x
16% feet and find that each rod of the
ditch contains 1,848 cubic feet of soil,
or 68.44 cubic yards. At 8 cents per
yard, the cost is as stated above.

view for 40 cents.

The Market.

There was a slight improvement in
the movement of all kinds of stock
last "wefek, but prices remained about
the same. Boses have increased in sup-
ply and have been well cleaned up every
day. Carnations havS- been in heavy
supply and quantities . had to be sold
at reduced prices. Sweet peas are in
good supply and sell well at from 60
cents to $1. Violets suffered,. it being
impossible to move them. Tulips, daf-
fodils and all kinds of bulb stock ore
coming in heavily and have cleaned up
fairly well. -^

. Various Notes.

The F. E. Williams Co. is sending in
a fine cut of Bride, Maid and Eichmond,
which are picked up on sight. This
firm's sweet peas are also fine.

Knoble Bros, have had a heavy run of
funeral work the last few days.

C. A. Braipley, of Superior avenue,
reports having had a large out-of-town
funeral, whict consumed quantities of
violets, valley,- etc.

Mike Bloy, formerly with J. M. Gas-
ser Co., now foreman for Weiland &
Oling^er, New Castle, Ind., was a visitor
Sunday and M^onday, making short calls
on his many friends here.

A. Graham & Son have been showing
some, beaiftiful windows of late, which
attract a great deal of a.ttention.

W. J. Kramer, of Eocky Eiver, O.,
has Deen sending in a fine cut of carna-
tions to the Cleveland Cut Flower Co.
